Do I still have emails to answer? Yes. Do I still have a sales letter to write? You bet! Do I still have a web page to check for mistakes, broken links and upload to my server? Yes!
But all that can wait, because I am taking my lovely wife of 25 years downtown to sip some wine. There is this great little wine bistro that serves difficult to find wines from all over the world. And after a long day of work, I just want to sit back, sip a little Cabernet Sauvignon and visit with my wife!
After all, that’s why I chose this crazy world on online business.
Yes, I work hard. But when I’m done, I’m done. And while we may visit a little bit about business this afternoon, it will be mostly “big picture” stuff. Where do we see ourselves in 5 years? What will it look like when all of the kids are out of the house? How many mission trips do we want to take next year?
I love working with my wife in an online business. I didn’t enjoy it as much in my remodeling business. Too much stress! But in my online business, I have a lot less headaches and make a lot more money! So, make a goal right now to take off early one day this month. Then take your child, friend or spouse out on the town and do some “big picture” thinking. Because “big picture” thinking leads to big time paychecks!

What People Are Saying!
Your comments about not having to be THE expert in my niche really resonated with me. Whilst I have some expert knoweldge that can help project managers, I have also been overly conscious of not knowing ‘everything’ so that was a really useful re-frame for me. Thanks!

Find Products to Sell Online
by Stephen Beck
Once you are ready to start an online business, you may feel overwhelmed by the challenge of finding unique products to sell. You don’t want the same old stuff everyone else has – you want to succeed in your own niche. Here’s how to plan your sales for maximum profit.
Offer products that are in demand and offer you a higher markup. Figure out how to make sales online using higher-end products. Let’s use the home-schooling market as an example. Now, I can sell a single book and make, say, $5. But what if I could offer an entire course, one with a $50 markup? Suddenly, my profits are ten times higher, without any extra work! Here’s how you can increase sales and make more profits from your online business:
Step 1: Choose a high demand homeschool product that has a high markup. Of course it has to be something you can resell or be paid an affiliate commission.
Step 2: Write a review on the product. By writing a review, you become known as the residential home-schooling expert. People will seek out your advice, so create a one-page website for your review.
Step 3: Do your keyword research and optimize your one page web site for those keywords by using Wordtracker. Then add an email capture box and a shopping cart to your one page website.
Step 4: Write articles, lots of them. Submit them to article directories on the internet. Of course, you will have included your keywords in the title, body, and even the bio at the end. This gives your customers lots of backward links to help them find your website, while increasing your rankings in search engine results.
Step 5: Find forums which discuss that product. Become the forum expert with a tactful link to your site in the signature
It takes time to complete these steps, though you don’t need much money to get started. Following these steps is the best way to build a successful online business.
Remember to keep the big picture in focus so you choose products with high markups and higher prices. Before you know it, your bottom line will increase and you’ll have great products in a somewhat difficult niche.
