Quick Road map and a little history.

1. The main sales page.  I mostly promote it with dropcards.  they are business cards that look like folded $100 bills.  http://ifounda100dollars.com/ (opens in new tab) (a folded 100 bill business card )

2. Blog.  Search engines love blogs with unique fresh and helpful content.  I added this blog to ifounda100dollars.com to get search engine traffic, answer common GDI .WS questions and help those that want to Join A Business.  ( You are on the blog. )  I recently got 10,000 visitors from search engines!

3. Free Help area.   I share what I have learned in there after a lot of trial and error. I   told new team members to just sign up in there for free and then I would upgrade them to gold. But there is so many names coming in now it is hard to sort.  If you join our GDI WS team and you are waiting  to see what’s in the gold section, LET ME KNOW!   http://ifounda100dollars.com/members/ (opens in a new tab)

About me. In this short Ezine article I share some of my aspirations growing up along with what I feel are some of the better online business choices today.  Better Online Business (opens in another tab)

Who wouldn’t want a flood of commission checks in the mail week after week? I love mailbox money. The first thing most online entrepreneurs do right away is go out and join a bunch of affiliate programs or network marketing programs.   Newbie Online Business Mistakes (opens in new tab)

How to get people to know like and trust your online business and why. I came up with this analogy. Some don’t get it but it makes loads of sense to me. Think of this.  You want to use the internet superhighway to sell your goods & services. You are told it’s very easy and all you have to do is tell others. So with nothing invested, you run out in the middle of traffic and yell at everyone that passes buy, “HEY EVERYBODY!, BUY FROM ME! Or, JOIN ME, JOIN ME, JOIN ME!” (spam every email one can find and post links everywhere none stop)  Who needs anonline business blog? This does not work online.

Second try. Kind of a base camp along the road. A generic rented tent.  Nothing permanent or a brand that would instill trust.  Will it be there and active a few months from now? Probably not. Analogy.  The entrepreneur gets a free online business blog and loads it up with flashing banners and as many Google ads as possible.  They also often think leaving spam links or generic commenting  on other blogs that link back to theirs is a good idea.

Third try. The entrepreneur acquires their own piece of internet real estate. The online business owner makes it clear they are serious about what they do.  THEY ARE THE OWNERS. They can write it off on their taxes. They advertise THEIR business. They have a list of repeat customers.  They can sell their online business when they are tired of it and get their time invested back.  Scenario. People who pass by the online business blog /website will probably not buy the first time. (bad news for those who are trying the first two methods)  and if they like what they see, they will probably be back again and again!
