I love seminars. Don’t you?
And it’s not just because of the insider information that you get from it, but the people that you meet and re-meet who may just clinch the next deal for you.
Really, you don’t know what you’ll get in those – sometimes it is the education (which is the reason that you go anyway), other times it is the perks (like a password to the next big thing that will get you a discount, or will get you in for free), most times, it is meeting the network – that can be your network – people who can do your work for you (this is a wonderful bonus).
What do you do with what you get, though, is a different thing entirely.
Because the ability to see opportunity in information and in people is an art but I think it is an ability that can be cultivated.
What I want to do with what I got from the most recent one I attended, the MoneySummit, is to share them with you. The speakers shared some valuable resources that can, maybe, hopefully help you if you have an online business (who doesn’t – and if you don’t, isn’t it about time you start thinking about owning a piece of that getting-to-be-scarce-and-crowded-and-valuable real estate?).
Here are some website-tools that can help take your business to the next level:
This is by far my favorite. Anything for $5. As in anything – with $5, someone can make a tough decision for you, make a fairytale for your child, tutor you in Math, sing happy birthday in a sexy voice for you… It is crazy and it is funny and it is the next big thing or the current big thing. I was looking at having someone do my SEO and some promotions for our Rescue72 Facebook page, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. If you are interested, do look for the provider with the best rating. (I think I will be succumbing to Fiverr really soon.)
This is a dropshipping site that promises to help you (if you are an online retailer or a wannabe) become the next success on eBay, Amazon or your own website by “cutting out the middleman”. They have free books and resources on their site that will give you a step-by-step guide on how to do this. Personally, I have no plans to get into dropshipping soon but it is good to know that there is a company that has conducted all research on products and providers – cutting all the pre-business research you have to do in half. There is a fee, of course (a lifetime fee of $299), but then if the benefit equals or exceeds the cost, then this may be for you.
In their own words, they are a research firm specializing in tracking what works in all aspects of marketing (and what does not.) They are not an agency, consultancy or vendor and are not even available for private research — their research is published for their community to benefit from. For a fee, of course. But then good results can’t be had for a song all the time.
They do a free analysis of how you do business – what you are doing wrong, what you are doing right – are you thinking like an entrepreneur, a manager, or a technician? Clue – if you have a business and take their free test and your score is low, you are a technician, or have the mentality of an employee. This is not good and you must upgrade and become entrepreneur. E-myth Online swears it will help specially in the key business areas of marketing, money, management, leadership, lead generation, lead conversion and client fulfillment.
I am seriously looking at E-Myth to help us in our online business and other businesses. You can too. It may be worth your while.
