How to Maximize your One Man Business
by Matt Bacak © 2006


Do you run a one man business? Are you your own boss and employees all rolled in to one? Many Internet businesses are the result of a solo effort. Some of these one man businesses are new business while others have been run successfully for years. Since you are the only one running your business, it is critical that you understand how to optimize your profit.

You need to utilize a business strategy to optimize your profit. The first step is to analyze your current business strategy. What tasks yield you the most profit? What marketing strategies result in profit? Which time management strategies work for you and which ones don’t?

It may be helpful to write down your current business strategies. You may already have a written business plan. Carefully go through it and note the strategies that have worked for you in the past. Then focus on those successful strategies and make them even more successful. Periodically review your business plan so you are achieving the highest level of success you can.

The second step is to understand that you need focus on two main areas: Lead Generation and Profit Generation. These two areas are crucial to your success. You will crush your competition if you focus on Lead Generation and Profit Generation. As a one man shop you have very little room to waste money or effort. Therefore, an organized plan is the best way to go.

Lead Generation involves brining in new leads every day. You need to figure out ways to attract customers. For example, you may have to modify your marketing plans and/or engage in joint ventures.

Profit Generation focuses on activities that yield a profit. Don’t just look at your revenues. If you just look at revenues you may be missing the big picture. For example, a revenue of $100,000 means virtually nothing if you overhead expenses are $99,999.

To generate profit you need to center your attention on fast cash. What activities will bring in quick cash? How much quick cash do you want? Think of a number and then work backward to determine how you can achieve this amount. Build your client list around this idea or activity. Start with your end goal or product in mind and then do everything you can to achieve it.

Get your one man business on track by following these tips. Your business will run more smoothly and your pocket book will be filled with profit.

10 Awesome Ways To Attract More Orders
by Mitchell Choy © 2006


1. Create a free ebook directory on a specific topic at your web site. People will visit your web site to read the free ebooks and may see your product ad.

2. Turn part of your web site into a members only web site. Instead of charging for access, use it as a free bonus for one of your products.

3. Add a free classified ad section to your web site. You could then trade banner ads with other web sites that have free classified ad sections.

4. Create two versions of your e-zine so people can choose if they want ads included with it or not. This'll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe.

5. Publish your e-zine only on your web site. Have people subscribe to a "new issue" e-mail reminder. This could really increase your traffic and sales.

6. Sell advertising space in your product package. You could sell inserts, flyers, brochures, booklets, and digital ads for electronic products.

7. Offer daily or weekly visitor bonuses. This will increase your repeat traffic and sales because your visitors will visit regularly to get the visitor bonuses.

8. Allow people to download software or e-books from your web site at no cost. Just ask your visitors in return if they'll refer their friends to your web site.

9. Build up the number of people that join your free affiliate program quickly by temporally offering your product for free to the people that sign up.

10. Negotiate with e-zine publishers to get free or discounted ads by letting them join your affiliate program and earn commissions on the ad you run.
