To get the facts, I sought out the man generally considered to be the father of virtual real estate investing: Bryan Ellis of BryanEllis.com.

When I began using the term virtual real estate investing in the late 1990s, I did so because I saw clear parallels between the strategies used for profiting from physical real estate and those that would create income in the online world, said Ellis.

One example of the parallels between virtual and physical real estate Bryan Ellis cites is the similarity between the monetization of domain names versus physical property. “There’s a huge difference between a website and a piece of real estate, but the ways you can profit from them are similar: ‘flipping’, rental/leasing, advertising sales, etc…all of these apply to both markets” he states.

The similarities really are obvious. Consider this: If you own a piece of real estate in a desirable neighborhood, your real estate has value because other people are interested in that location. Similarly, ownership of a desirable domain name is valuable for the same reasons. Regardless of the type of asset, you can sell or lease or use any number of strategies to turn the assets into cash.

In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

It’s been a long time since that day and today I can’t imagine a world without search engine optimization or seo technologies.

It kind of makes me wonder how I got along without it before. I can tell you this however that it was the missing puzzle piece of a very large puzzle that made my life complete.

Search engine optimization has made it possible for the little guy to make a lot of money without spending millions before hand and it can help you to.

In the days before all of the automation technology came out for search engine optimization, and before all the companies came out that had elaborate networks that allowed generating link backs became so easily done, there was a time before even search engine optimization or seo was even known as a science.

We live in a world these days that is vibrant with search engine optimization technologies and we should thank our lucky stars that is around in the way that it is because we have an incredible opportunity to generate money from merely our time our thoughts and our keyboards.

Be very careful delegating this task to anyone except possibly a spouse or business partner. Your clients aren’t buying products from you. They’re buying your service. They’re buying your personality. They’re buying your reputation. They’re buying word of mouth. They’re buying referrals. They’re buying you.

IT Marketing: Your Personal Responsibility

Your personal service isn’t something that can be commoditized and that you should think lightly about delegating. You need to increase your IT marketing by making the contacts in the community and getting the word out that your services are available. There’s no easy way to shortcut it. If you’re going to delegate anything, delegate some of the technical parts of handling those accounts to your staff.

The key thing to remember is being virtual IT means that you’re the single point of contact. People have to get to know you. You’re the owner. You’re the personality. You don’t want to be selling a commodity. You want to be selling you–you incorporated, your company incorporated as consulting services, network support services, virtual IT services, however you want to position it. But in order to do that, people have to get to know you personally and you’re going to have the most continuity when it’s you.

Networking does not only apply to what most people consider MLM or multi-level marketing,but also to anyone who establishes contacts for the purpose of expanding and strengthening their business connections. So when one takes an in depth look at all types of businesses, including the financial sector such as banks, everyone networks in some way, even the job hunter who sends hundreds of applications to his or her favorite placement agency.

This then brings us to the topic in question. It is widely recognized that direct marketing is a closely related to network marketing. Or isn’t it the other way around. Let’s be clear on one thing, the term “network marketing” has been greatly abused. It is shunned upon as strictly meaning multi-level marketing, when it is not. Not that there’s anything wrong with multi-level marketing which is in fact, direct marketing.

But isn’t selling from a website direct marketing? Yes it is! Direct marketing (person to person), in whatever form you choose to apply it, whether it be an information product on the net, or as an independent business owner for various manufacturers and distributors that choose this route, is in my opinion the only viable source in today’s economy where anyone can become rich in a relatively short time frame as compared to conventional methods.

There is no argument…that if you want to escape life’s daily ruts which the lack of money imposes on people, there’s no other way! I firmly believe that!

Some universities, at least in my neck of the woods, have given it a new name. They call it “collective entrepreneurship”, based on people joining together in solidarity towards a common goal, which is obviously financial.

Direct marketing, because of the principle and the magic of geometric progression, is an engine of infinite success. Did you all understand this? Let me put it another way.

How many of you know who Robert Metcalf is? Robert Metcalf is one of the people credited for creating the Ethernet. The Ethernet dates back to when people first started using cable to hook computers up to each other in the late 60’s. In 1972 Robert Metcalf and David Boggs at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center first standardized Ethernet. He more recently founded the technology company, 3ComCorp. But more importantly he is also credited for defining Metcalf’s Law which is:

A Network Economic Value = Number of Users

In simple terms, if there exist just one telephone, that single telephone has no economic value. The moment there are two telephones, according to Metcalf’s law, the economic value of the phone network is now squared. The economic value of the network would go from 0 to 2 (squared) or 4. Add a third phone and the economic value of the network is now 9. In other words, the economic value of a network goes up exponentially, not arithmetically.

Direct Marketing, takes the theory of Metcalf’s Law and turns it into an unparallel business model. Grasp the meaning and the power behind this, and you will understand the power behind Direct Marketing, also known as Viral Marketing.

But what kinds of community involvement should a business do? What kinds of things can you afford to do and what kinds of things will return the on-going favor in a circle of perpetual motion allowing customers to spend money with you and for you to take some of that money and continue to return the favor?

Well there are many things you can do for instance join a local service club and volunteer to help out and donate your time, labor and perhaps supplies and resources to the cause. That is a very easy thing you can do. Support a local Little League Team or buy a backboard at the ball park? Donate money to a silent auction.

Why not host a fundraiser for a non-profit group you feel passionate about. You will be killing many birds with one stone and you will really be helping your business, community and feeling great about what you are doing; do it. Consider all this in 2006.

The number one reason why sellers fail online, is caused by a lack of knowledge, as how to advertise their products. FFA’s are a good example of this. Visit any ffa page on the net and you will see people struggling. Thousands of affiliates and other sellers use these methods as their sales vehicle. It is certain you will fail if you use these type of methods. The only people who will ever see these type of sites will be other sellers. And it would have to be one brilliant product, to be able to make a successful sale, to another seller via this method.

The second main reason, are products which are sold with pre-built sales pages. This whole process promotes a system, by which sellers think they can promote and provide websites, built-up totally with single web sales pages, and make easy money as a result. The resell products, themselves, mostly are initially purchased by sellers, because of a main sales pitch of ‘You Will Make Easy Money’. The product itself becomes second best. Potential income becomes the sellers main driving point and this simply misses the mark totally. This is a real online marketing trap. All this provides is a one page sales pitch without the backing of any real substance. This substance can only be given by the backing of a real website, with your resale products built in, as part of it. And the products you sell should always be a necessary part of the topics covered by your website. Remember always, never sell items with standalone sales pages, without a reference point. And this reference point should always initially be found exactly, in the beating heart of the pre-sale, that can be found on your own website. We will get to this point in more detail further below shortly.

As a further proof of another form of this lack of substance. I have recently received feedback from other sellers who have not even read the actual content of the product they are reselling. This just does not make any business sense at all. I myself sell a lot of resell rights e-book products. But they are only the products I have researched and want my own name and my company name attached to. I even recently had an affiliate send me a resell rights e-book package he purchased which consisted of an amazing sales package, it simply took my breath away. But the actually e-book product it promoted consisted of 9 pages. If I was the customer who purchased this package. I would be pretty overwhelmed, by the feeling of being ripped off, if I paid $49.95 for a 9 page e-book. And needless to say, the information that it contained, was useless to say the least. Any customer who may purchase this product, it would be safe to say, would be very cautious before they ever purchased a product online ever again. And it would be certain to say they would never purchase a product from that seller ever again either. Honesty is a word that needs to be applied totally in online sales. Forget the potential profit line for a moment. You need to be totally committed to the product you are selling. And you need to be totally committed to the principle of getting information of real value out there and into the hands of others.

So how do you succeed online with real success. Firstly if you want to make money online consistently you need, as stated earlier, a real website. It just amazes me how many sellers just don’t even have a real website of there own. You need to show potential buyers what motivates you in what you do. If you have a website system of single web sales pages. You are never going to achieve any success online. Design a website around what motivates and excites you. Build information that you have written yourself, and quality information written by others, that has real information value. Provide a website of substance that aligns itself to great informational links. Always Align your website, with other websites that have the same commitment, with exactly the ideas you hold most valuable. Show a potential buyer or even just that website visitor cruising the net. That you know exactly what you are talking about, and promote your products around this knowledge.

Secondly learn exactly how to promote your website successfully. Seek out the knowledge of others who are successful online and take in all the information that they offer. The reason why in the previous paragraph, I mentioned the need for a real website before this topic of advertising, has other benefits as well. If you have a real website you will get indexed well in the search engines. Getting indexed well, will gain you quality targeted traffic, that costs nothing. So build a good website, submit it to the engines, and simply let time take its course. For example to get into google it is going to take about 7 months, there is no way around this except just waiting. Just submit and focus on adding real value content to your website. And focus on other methods of advertising. The perfect method is to build an email list of your own. There are thousands of real valid methods on how to achieve this. The best being, by simply starting your own ezine, built around exactly the same topics which your website covers.

I hope that this article may help to guide you too success. I myself make a living off the internet. I make around 40,000 dollars per year after tax. It is not a great deal of money. I must say that I made more in my previous full-time job. But the internet has given me the freedom, to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. Being your own boss has huge freedom based benefits. But to achieve these benefits requires on-going plain simple hard work. There is no easy way to make money online other than hard work, that is a guaranteed fact, and covers any part of life. Everyone has the potential to make money on the internet. But to achieve this requires a real commitment to the absolute requirements of knowledge, quality, honesty, and hard work. Remember always value what you do, and how you do it, and others will value you for it. That is certain.

There are but few authors who can speak of a day by day account and procedure on the road to a finished, ready-to-be marketed, self-published book.
Your book.

Self publishing is an art form.
It takes courage, patience, a keen listening ability, some business savvy and above all, methodology of how to tear checks from your check book and credit cards from your wallet very quickly and painlessly.

I am one of those authors.

Yvonne Bornstein

I learned the hard way when self publishing my book –
‘Eleven Days Of Hell: My True Story Of Kidnapping, Terror, Torture And Historic Fbi & Kgb Rescue’

Without sounding pompous, I have since become quite the expert at this self publishing game and have been asked to consult in many cases.
I made a few mistakes along the way, but now have it down to a fine art.
It is a tedious process, not for the faint of heart.

If one follows the directions and takes heed from a satisfied author (like myself!) you will be extremely proud of yourself and your book.
You will feel like skydiving or climbing mountains!

If you need help, yell, I will come running!
