Have you noticed over the years that most online markets have gotten overcrowded? Have you noticed that competition increases almost on a daily basis? More and more people come online everyday and want to compete in niche markets on the internet. They want to promote, sell, and market their products or services, whether they are a small brick ‘n mortar business or a work from home entrepreneur.

This has caused pay per click bids to increase over the years and has made it harder to get good natural listings on the front pages of the search engines.

The most interesting part about this is that most of this overcrowding comes from English internet marketers. The internet was invented around English. 80% of the content found online is in English.

However, you can get crazy amounts of traffic in the Spanish speaking marketplace. The competition almost is non-existent.  However, very few internet marketers pay attention to Spanish marketing.

With 130 million Spanish speaking people already online, and another 200 million that could potentially be online in the future the Spanish speaking marketplace is one to take a good hard look at for all internet marketers.

Do you hate Twitter?

I don’t want to say that I hate Twitter, but I don’t particularly care for social media sites like Twitter or Facebook.

I am not entirely comfortable with social media and don’t like using it.

However, I understand how important these tools are for business… and THAT is why I use them.

It has been reported that Twitter has over 20,000,000 (20 million) users and it’s currently growing faster than Facebook.  These numbers are VERY hard to ignore.

The big problem right now is that most of us are not using these tools effectively.  It seems that there is too much time spent on trying to make money with Twitter and Facebook and the return on the investment of time is rarely profitable.

Until now…

Ryan Deiss has released a new program called “Twitter List Building“ and it is a system that teaches you how to move your Twitter followers to your mailing list so that you can profit.

He also shows you how to do it without spending all day wasting your time in the social media space!

If you realize the size of Twitter and the potential magnitude it has to help you in your business, then you should check out Ryan Deiss’  Twitter List Building System now.

The number one mistake that I see time and time again is the way people begin an online business. They almost always do it backwards and struggle to make a dollar.

The wrong way to begin an internet business is to try and invent some great new idea or product that you think people would buy.  Forget about what you think.  It is all about the prospect.  What do they want?  What are they buying?  I’ve seen people invest a lot of their time and hard earned money on product ideas or services before proving that it can be successful.

Why in the world would you do this?  Especially when most people trying to start a home based business do not have extra capital to burn.  Most people are on a very tight budget and need to get something working without losing an arm and a leg trying.

So what is the right way?

The correct way is to discover what people want and then let them buy it from you!

Does that not sound easier?

Find out what they want!  Find out what they want!  Find out what they want!

It kills me to see people do this backwards over and over and over again, even when I’m beating it into them that it is wrong!

You are setting your self up to fail when you fail to follow this advice.  It is my #1 rule to internet marketing.

5 Ways To Find Ideas

Ideas are everywhere.  The marketers I know get more ideas in one day than they could handle for a lifetime.  I’m not kidding.  Ideas are easy when you learn how to find them.

Here are 5 ways to keep your brain in “Idea Mode” all the time.

1.  Keep your eyes and ears open. TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, and people can fill you with at least 1 new idea per day that you can explore.

2.  Be a problem solver. Train yourself to always be looking for ways to improve things.  No matter what you are doing you should always be asking yourself, “How could this be better?  How could this be easier?”

3.  Be an innovator: Innovation is the specific instrument to entrepreneurship.  Look for successful strategies in other businesses and mold them to fit your own.  You should constantly be looking at other ideas, strategies, and tools.  Ask yourself, “How could I use that idea in my business?”

4.  Use Online Tools: Use online tools like Google Keyword Tool or the Free Wordtracker Tool to research keyword ideas.  This allows you to find the number of monthly searches for specific words and phrases.

5.  Prepare for success: Preparing for success means that you are ready to take advantage of the right opportunity when it presents itself.  Learn, study, and practice internet marketing.  Invest in programs and courses that can cut your learning curve down.  This will help you find ideas, because the more you “train” your brain to think like a marketer, then the previous 4 steps get easier.  Do everything you can do ensure your success.  This means invest in yourself and your business.

Follow these 5 tips and you will soon be flooded with ideas on a daily basis.  Practice number 5 and you’ll also know how to successfully put your idea into effect!

When I was on my honeymoon in Jamaica, I was picked out of a crowd of about 300 people to come up to the stage.  When I got on the stage they told me I was competing in a Michael Jackson dance contest!  I almost walked off, but decided to stick it out.

My lovely wife was there to capture every move and she made a little highlight video as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.

Enjoy it!
