It’s An Online Business for God’s Sake

imageI just don’ get it – why would you make your entire website, blog and products “closed for business” on the weekends?

The image here is what you’ll see if you visit Mass Automation on a weekend – or to be more precise – the “non-business” hours.

I thought one of the selling points of an online business is that it stays open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to generate cash on autopilot.

In the past I have promoted many offers from this site, including Auto Social Poster, Light Pop, Synonymizer, WP Blaster and much more. In fact I’ve made more than $1,500 / month as an affiliate at one point of time.

I stopped promoting those products aggressively, partly due to this “business hours” issue. Everything is completely inaccessible, even the blog and salespages. Its very, very odd that an online marketer would treat his business like that.

Imagine affiliates promoting the products with PPC only to find that any clicks they get on the weekends is completely wasted. As for myself, all I can do is ask my subscribers to try again later when the “store is open”.

I just don’t get it. Maybe you do.

How To Make Unlimited Income From The Internet

I’ve been asked to say a few words at the Webmaster Malaysia gathering this weekend, and Lim CS said he’s preparing a projector for me to present some slides. Wow.

I don’t think I’ve much to share except this one thing. It’s a common mistake a lot of us make in Internet marketing; we don’t turn our skills into a product, and we don’t turn the product into a business. Until we do all the steps right, we cannot expect to make “unlimited income” from the Internet.

big-picture

For those of you who can’t make it to the gathering, you can listen to the short audio.

Skills Product Business Asset
Easiest way to make money online. If you have a skill that can be “sold” online, do it. Best way to make more money from your skill. Teach others how to do it, and you have a product. Add more products based on your skills, and you have a business. Add more products based on other people’s skills, and you have a bigger business Hand over your business to others, while maintaining ownership. Remove yourself from your business, and treat it as an asset while building another business.
Do it yourself Teach others to do it, become an expert Hire people better and smarter than you. Outsource everything except marketing & your core skills. Train leaders capable of handling and marketing your business. Pull yourself away and empower others to make decisions. You only decide on the direction and long-term goals.
Income is good, but limited by time Income improves, independent of time Expenses increase, but income increases too if you do it right. Unlimited income and time freedom.

Everyone wants to earn residual income on the Internet. Everyone wants to make money while they sleep, to spend half the year traveling the world and yet continue to make money from their Internet business.

But really, is that possible for YOU?

It depends on which of the 4 stages you currently belong to, and how fast you can move ahead.
