7 Secrets to Better Investment Returns

In our "can't wait", "get it now" society, wouldn't it be nice to learn how to get more from your investment assets. Wouldn't you like to secure a financial future for you and your family, while worrying less and prospering in both up and down markets? Obviously, this is the American dream! However, it is an achievable dream. Here are seven investing secrets to help you achieve these elusive goals. You won't hear these from your broker!
1. Markets move in cycles. Learn to recognize these cycles and the investment strategies that prosper in that cycle. Right now we are in a secular bear market. Expect a lot of volatility and little long-term market movement within a large trading range.
2. Buy and hold won't work right now. The reason, see secret #1. You need an actively managed investment strategy to win in this environment.
3. Trend following works in all cycles, especially secular bear markets. Find an advisor or manager who can spot up or down trends and ride them to profits within this longer term trading range.
4. Mutual funds are dead! Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are the way to go. They are low cost, marginable, can be traded intraday, give broad diversity of holdings, allow for stop loss orders, cover just about any stock, bond or commodity market and put and call options can be purchased or sold against the ETF position.
5. Risk management is the key to survival. Make sure you or your advisor have a written plan on how to manage your assets. This plan should also be specific as to when positions are entered and when (and how) they should be exited to protect your capital. This plan should be more than the standard investment policy statement.
6. Stay away from CNBC. This is the surest way to poor investment decisions is to get caught up in the 24 hype this channel must produce to keep an audience. If you must watch this channel, do so only during non-market hours.
7. Cut your losers short and let your winners ride. This is investing 101, but it is surprising how many people hold their losers and eagerly take profits on their winners. Let your winners ride as long as the trend is intact. Limit losses to no more than 6-8% of your position cost.

3 Success Methods in Starting Your Internet Business By Daniella Prym

The Internet is an exciting platform from which to launch your business. It is filled with opportunity and an almost infinite marketing arena that can also be frought with scams and programs that simply don't work for you. Don't fall into the trap of wasting time and money on stuff you don't need. You can follow these 3 simple steps that will get you started the right way.
1. The first is a two pronged approach. Research the Internet for products, services or systems that might be interesting to you. Decide if you want to concentrate on a particular product or service or do you want to promote particular stores. The second prong to this step is actually talking to people who already do an Internet business and see what advice they have. They can either recommend a program or know something about some of the choices you have made. This is critical because you want to start out right and not get trapped into the wrong business right at the start.
2. Learn all you can about the product, store or service you have chosen. Do your due diligence about how they will assist you in getting started and what level of commission they pay. Is there an opportunity for residual income. Spend some time on the web site and see if you actually like it. Does the company or store give you business and technical support? Just get a sense of whether you think you can "sell" this product: whether you actually like what you have chosen and it feels good to you.
3. The third step deals with your attitude. Never give up on your dream and know that you will probably make a lot of mistakes. Learn from them and don't make them again. Be patient and persevering. Work on your business every day otherwise you will loose momentum. Build your business on a solid foundation and don't try to take shortcuts.

" 8 Error The Newbie ( what do you do)

Hello all, how are you today? Still "hot" enthusiasm for doing business on the internet, right? Great! Keep up the spirit!

Well, today I've just finished a list containing the list of what it could inhibit kesuksean a beginner (newbie) - which you should not do.

The following list I can from my own experience during several years of doing business online and also from the "adventures" I bought a variety of internet marketing products. I hope the following list can help you.

But remember, this list especially for you who have started taking action to do business online and that you are still newbie. And since this post to a still newbie, so for you who have (felt) the master or you still have not started, do not complain =)

So, here goes the list:

1 / Trying to "be yourself"

Strange advice, is not it? But this is true: as a newbie (beginner) you do not try to "find their own way" to success.

Okay maybe in the social life you can say "be yourself". But this is business, friends ...

I used to have the feeling to be able to find money in my own way, by finding unique ways that no one else knows. I think in that way I will be able to find "gaps" of money that has not entered into other people.

But in fact, things like that hard to expect. As a newbie (beginner) you are still less knowledge, less experience is required to actually make the "gap" that you want it. As a result you will never find it at all.

My advice: if you are a newbie, better follow the general way just the way you make money online. Learning from experts who have, follow the advice of the masters, the teachers. They were there to share his knowledge with you, they are experienced and know the right way. Later when you are (feeling) the master, just try their own experiments.

If Thomas Alva Edison was able to find light bulbs, doing your tired, tired of trying to "find things that can illuminate a room lit"? Do not re-invent the wheel.

2 / Lazy lazy to try and find out

The second thing that hinders the success of the newbie is lazy lazy to try and find out.

That is, they rarely learn from the experiences of others, lazy to find out. What they do, once again, is trial and error alone, even though they have to do is take lessons from that experience. The result: what they are learning to be wrong.

Also most newbie just read and read about how to make money online. But alas: they just read, do not practice it. And the result is clear: gmana would be money if enggak work?

So my advice to the newbie is: learning from a teacher who clearly has an expert, and practicing. Do not find out for yourself and do not forget to practice it.

(This point is related to the previous points)

3 / Not buying the product of learning

The third mistake for the newbie who wants to learn faster berbienis online is: do not want to buy an existing learning products on the internet, whether it's ebook or training videos or training membership.

I think my product promotion? Well, no. I do not mean to say that you should buy my product. But what I mean: do not want to buy products internet marketing master any, local teacher or a "long distance".

Why should I buy? Simple, the reason being to shorten your study time. That's it. As you know all that many internet marketing products that There is a summary of the various forms of online business knowledge that these teachers possess.

So by having their products, as if you have a summary of their knowledge that ultimately makes your learning process becomes much faster. That's what I mean by shorten your learning time. So, do not hesitate to "buy science".

Ok, maybe you can find some of the material provided for free, without having to buy a product, such as the blogwalking. It's just that, usually in a product (any), there will always be more value you can get, like support from the manufacturer, member forums, wrote a clear workflow (blue print) and so you will not find from various places find other free knowledge.

Have you ever met a blog that discusses a business one by one, a detailed step by step and the owner of the blog to serve 200 + emails per day are free? I think not.

So do not hesitate to invest a little, to get more results. Buying guides that you feel is right for you (like the type to explain the various business overview? Or that discusses in detail the business?).

Do not just struggling with the free, if you can get that much more with prices that do not amount to much. Remember: for every product paid, there's always more value you get from every dollar you pay.

(My own diligent buy new products to increase my skills. Investment science == no harm, remember that.)

4 / Do not buy many products at once

Well, now if you have purchased a product guide, the next step is to learn and follow every detail given by the product manufacturer. That's it.

Most of the beginner mistakes is when they are buying a product they will want to buy other products. If you include something like that, I say that you are wrong. All you have to do is to learn, follow, making money and not buy and keep buying.

Save your money for the internet fees and promotional costs. Not to keep buying.

5 / To expect quick profits fast extra

The reason? Since you are newbie, =)

Why did I tell you the reason because you still newbie? Because usually newbie will fail in the first few steps because they do not know what makes the loss and what makes a profit. So if you expect a lot, you will be disappointed. Therefore, you must dare to fail.

Is nonsense if you expect success overnight (extra fast) but you have never felt failed at first. It's like you can walk (even run) but never learned to crawl. If said person Caucasians: bullsh * t.

Well then over time you will get a lot of experience and know how what to do and what not plus you already know the approximate calculation. If you've reached that stage, that's fine you make a business assumptions.

Information:

I'm not saying do not expect a quick profit, but I was told to expect a profit in one night (extra fast). Why? Because I know (and have time to talk) with a super affiliate marketers (from Mumbai) which could result in billions of dollars in just 1-2 years of doing business via the internet - and for me billions of dollars in 1-2 years that include fast (even very fast) - only by working 2 (two) hours per week.

So if someone says that there will not be able to benefit quickly from doing business on the internet, so the saying 100% false, not true. Those who say that it may not yet know how (that's what distinguishes us is the super affiliate) or the fear of increased competition or to reap all the profits for themselves (because there is no new competition) or maybe they think such an outcome, including long ... (wow!)

Remember that: the chance is always there, never say die, but do not expect too much. The mediocre.

6 / Spamming

For those who do not know what it was spam (and I'm sure it's the idea), the definition of short-message is sent unsolicited messages to people who do not want it.

Example you can see, please log into your email account. I'm sure there are plenty of commercial messages in there that you never want. That is spam. And other forms that appear are in regular discussion forums, people who just registered immediately direct suddenly makes a new discussion thread with the promotion of certain products. Disgusting is not it?

Well for you who just started internet marketing, generally will be tempted to model this campaign. The reason: easy and cheap, hehe = D

Well, but for you who often do this, my advice: stop. This is not a good way to do promo. People will not see your ads. Who saw not care. The matter was not interested to follow your link.

If you are a newbie, do not have their own website for promotion, has not had a newsletter itself, you should have paid to advertise the type of PPC (GoogleAdWords, Kumpulblogger, kliksaya, AdsenseCamp, etc ...). With advertisements on their network your ad will be much more effective. People who click your ads are real people who are interested and also spread your ad directly to the thousands of blogs out there - very quickly.

It's a bit expensive, but like I said before: for each product paid, there's always more value you get from every dollar you pay.

But watch out, you could lose if you ... ... ... ..

7 / Advertise PPC in municipal

What I mean here is a very large capital spend for PPC advertising, without measuring the results are optimal or not. The result is a perforated bags, empty sales.

Should be done is to make a landing page (presell page) individual, try advertising with limited capital and test results. If bad, optimization. If it is good, instantly doubled its ad costs to double the sales that you get.

Information:

Ever hear someone say look for traffic that "should be" hard and "should be" old? Hmm ... maybe that says do not know about the PPC (or maybe forgot). The fact is that with PPC search traffic becomes faster (practically instant) and much easier (gk need SEO or manual promo here and there).

My personal experience with my PPC: I can make every U.S. $ 1 I spend producing affiliate commission of U.S. $ 4, in 3 hours (fast) enough to make a presell page (easy) to put an ad in a particular PPC network (small network, Google Adwords is not clear).

Yg lessons to be learned:

A quick and easy to find profit in the internet exists, not imaginary. No "must be" difficult and not "must" long (what a wrong mindset!). It's just the way it is usually expensive, because you have to pay someone else to make things easy and quick (all businesses need capital).

The way it is: PPC advertising.

It is rather expensive PPC and risky, but like Steve Pavlina says:

    "To be successful in business, you should not be afraid of losing what you have (money, time, energy).

    All you have to fear is losing the opportunity to reap a lot because they do not want to sacrifice a small portion of money, time and your energy. "

    Steve Pavlina, Personal Development Coach

8 / Exit From Work Right Now

For the latter had not occurred to me. But the fact is there are some people who contacted me and asked if they should get out of work for the focus (fulltime) business online?

Well, since this post for newbie newbie and typically have a stable income online, then I say: NO. Do not ever think like that (first).

All you need to know the income from online business is very volatile. Note well.

I have two cases,

First: I am a high school senior, a friend since junior high school, who were similarly trying luck in the online world in the beginning can make a profit of about U.S. $ 40 + per day. But within two weeks alone, he suddenly lost more than U.S. $ 2000 + (waow!)

Second: a young (well, my own, ^ ^) in November-December 2008 generates about U.S. $ 4,900 + from selling products other people (affiliate marketing). But this month (January 2009) I lost U.S. $ 1,500 +, because I kicked two sites as "Mbah Google".

Well, you can see how far it incomenya results? From the beginning could be so much loss can fell many. That's business, failure can happen to anyone, anytime.

Well, now the logic: if it can happen to our already (somewhat) experienced, what you are newbie? Since you are newbie, logically you will often fail first. Now, if such failure continues many times, you want to be income from which to support yourself (and family)?

Therefore: do not mind to quit your day job first. You better finalizing your first online business, just out of work if it's really stable. My advice: if you are able to earn U.S. $ 1,000 + per month with a stable, you can just quit from the office and online business concentration.

Or if you want desperate, please come out, but first prepare a backup income from other than your current job, as a preparation that loss. For example the income from a minimarket like Alfamart / Indomaret (approximately 8-12 per month, I equate to U.S. $ 800 - U.S. $ 1,000).

Well do not have U.S. $ 1,000 a month, it was just my personal policy only. If you a have a backup with the passive income (must be passive, for full-time business online will consume a lot of your time) for your current income or savings may have a spare 12x of your monthly income is now, I guess it could also considered.

I just remind you: all decisions there is no risk the consequences. Be prepared for whatever happens. And hopefully what happens is: you are incredible lucky on the internet, =)

Well, I think pretty much for aja advice. Now is the time you're working again, looking for new science and practice of science + fishing experience. The sooner and more often your action, then the sooner you remove the newbie status, = D

All the best! Warm greetings!
Salam paaaling success success!

Learning from other people

Yesterday I had a wordpress workshops and online promotion for d'BC Network member. There I could show off this web, and surprised myself, it udah lama banget ga did not update it hehehe ...

Today I want to tell about my experience studying Internet Marketing. There are 3 very influential people who made me be like this now.

The first person, is Pieter De Vries. Bule my boss when I worked in www.DigitalDevelopment.com. Almost 6 years I have become virtual employees on the Internet company. Employee, but her work from home:)

At first I was accepted there as a staff of SEO work, would want to be ya ga learn SEO. From my job, I knew a lot about the things that smelled of internet marketing. Until finally, my last position, Virtual Office Manager: D

The biggest thing I get from Pieter was, that person might loh, working at home via the internet. And last but not least important, independence. There is no hour to be followed to start and stop work each day, no boss that if I melototin in front of the computer when playing games ...

My second teacher was Anne ahira. But not asian brain. When I first learned about Team Elite ahira with her, asian brain has not stood up.

ahira provide training for Elite Team member, how to do business online mlm FFSI. First, yes, I followed all the step by step what he taught. But the biggest thing I learned from ahira is, the way he thinks.

If one can raise ahira Anne Elite Team in this way, I was supposed to be!

So what I learned was how ahira. I noticed tools2 what she wears, I observed layanan2 what he gave, I remember, how he led his member2. And now, I was able to apply the 'how' is in the business d'BC Network which I founded with Nadia.

In essence, ahira never give step by step raising Elite Team, but I can observe and modeling how to work him. So do not just focus on a step by step, try to learn to understand and comprehend how a person thinks and do the job.

My third teacher, who until now still every day I visit, is Om Google. Every time I encounter a problem, every time I'm confused do something, I get asked the same Om Google.

Of course, there are many other guru2 and teman2 realize that without them has become my teacher. Lessons can be found anywhere, from anyone ...

Thank you so much Pieter, ahira and Om Google:) Thank you very much other teachers friends..

Notes: Conscious ga? If I am learning all of the 'internet'? hehe ..
