Who ya gonna call?

A few days ago, I was browsing the Web a bit, and I decided to go an visit a website of a fellow that I know.  His website, frankly, is not very nice.  It’s poorly laid out.  Many of the articles are not well written, or about subjects that tend to really bore me.  But, the person who owns the site is a friend, and I do visit his site, because from time to time I find something there that is worth looking at. This person who publishes this site is somebody who always seems to be short on money.  There have been times in the past when I have even sent meals to his house, because I knew that he had nothing to eat, and no money to buy food.  … [Read more...]

Pricing yourself for success

June 7, 2010 By Bob Martin

A lot of times, I hear from people who are planning to start up some kind of new business, usually something online.  Often, I hear from people that I really don’t know well, but who follow me through my various websites, but sometimes the people I hear from are good friends.  Usually people who write to ask me questions are looking for business advice.  Sometimes they are just so excited about their new business idea that they want to share it with somebody.  I am always happy to listen, and I usually try to offer some kind of advice to these folks, trying to help them succeed.  Sometimes, they appreciate the advice, other times they actually … [Read more...]

Finding your business niche

March 11, 2010 By Bob Martin

I have lots of different businesses.  With only a couple of exceptions, all of my businesses only earn a little bit of money each.  That’s what I like.  Truth is, I have so many different businesses that off the top of my head, I am not even sure how many different businesses I have.  In fact, even if I sat down and started counting, I am not certain which ones I would count as actual businesses, some are so small, and things I do so seldom that I might not even count them.  But, I suppose if they are something I do to earn money, they are businesses, regardless of how small. These small businesses that earn small amounts of money are … [Read more...]

My new PC!

My new USFF PC, sitting on my desk next to my cellular phone

In the past week or so, I purchased a new PC!  It is kind of a departure for me, because this computer is much different than any other computer that I have bought in my lifetime.  And, believe me, in my lifetime I have bought a lot of PCs too!  What is so different about this PC?  Well, a lot of things, and I'll be telling you about that later in the article. It all started out with my old laptop, a Compaq laptop that was only about 18 months old, or so.  I started having problems with it.  The monitor was starting to give out on it.  If I touched the monitor, the screen would go white.  Because I make my living on the Internet, I … [Read more...]

Pulling the trigger

February 3, 2010 By Bob Martin

What kind of person are you?  Do you pull the trigger, or do you just talk?  Personally, I am a trigger puller, I feel it’s the only way to live life.  Most people, though, I feel, are talkers, and rarely pull the trigger. Do you know what I’m talking about?  What do I mean about “pulling the trigger?” Well, what I mean is this… if you get an idea for something, do you actually do it, or do you talk about it, then promptly just blow it off?  I hear a lot of people tell me of ideas they have for some kind of new product or service, a new business that they just know will make them a fortune.  They talk about … [Read more...]

Multi-Author Blogging

December 3, 2009 By Bob Martin

In my last article, Leveraging your online popularity, I talked about getting others to write content for your site, and getting it for free.  I told how setting up something like that will help you lessen your own workload while also helping you earn more money from your online endeavors. This might sound too good to be true, but believe me, it is absolutely true, and I am going to show you how you can do it.  One of the first steps is that you really need to stop treating your online activities as a hobby, and treat it as a business.  When you start devoting the time to your online activities like you would do it were a business, that is … [Read more...]

Internet: Business or Play?

November 18, 2009 By Bob Martin

For some people, the Internet is the greatest entertainment medium that has ever come along.  For others, it is the greatest business tool that man has ever known?  Most of us probably sit somewhere in the middle of those two positions. For me, I am somewhere in the middle, although certainly closer to the side of the Internet being a business tool.  In my days of using the Internet, though, I have been on both extremes as well. When I first got on the net, in the early 90′s, the Internet was mostly an entertainment medium for me.  I used it a lot for educational purposes too, learning about things that I didn’t know much about.  … [Read more...]

It’s a business!

November 13, 2009 By Bob Martin

In the past few weeks, I have read a number of articles on the net, on various blogs that had a similar theme.  Reading these articles really reinforced some things that I already believe, and helped me reconsider those thoughts, and as I reconsidered, I came to the same conclusion that I had already developed in the past, which was the conclusion of the authors of the articles too. Basically, the theme of these articles is about earning money online, and the fact that doing so is a business, not just a time to play around.  Many people start blogging, or some other way of earning money online, and they will put AdSense ads, or something similar … [Read more...]

How will you sell?

June 22, 2009 By Bob Martin

OK, if you have been following the series about Making Money Online, so far you’ve decided what you are going to sell, and you’ve figured out how to get the product.  What’s next? Well, you are going to have to figure out how to actually sell it!  Let’s have a look using some of our examples from before: The plumber is selling information about how to fix plumbing in your house.  He might not be doing a straight out cash transaction for the information, but we already established that he is selling it, one way or another.  So, what is his method of selling going to be?  Well, most likely, he will set up a website where … [Read more...]
