How To Be An Expert

by Amir Rimer on April 21, 2012

During the years of doing business online I advised many of my friends to build their own online business, so they can make a few dollars on the side as a nice supplement to their 9 to 5 job.

You don’t need me to tell you that not everyone wants to be the next Internet guru, and make thousands of dollars per day online.

Yes, many people love their 9 to 5 job, and simply want to have a secondary income.

What I always recommend my friends to do, is to create a short ‘how to tutorial’ on a subject that they feel they are skillful and passionate about, and then sell the tutorial they have made to others for a certain price they feel is reasonable.

Because I know that many of my friends don’t know how to build a website, I always offer to build the website for them (for no charge obviously).

Yet, during the years I have came to realize that lack of knowledge on how to build a website is not the sole hindrance my friends experience on their quest of having an online presence.

The major hindrance they experience is that they simply don’t believe that they are skillful enough to teach others what they know.

It is like they feel that they need to be at a certain ‘skill level‘ before they can call themselves an expert, and thus make money online by teaching others what they know.

My thoughts on the subject are as follows:

The 3 Habits of Highly Successful People

by Amir Rimer on April 17, 2012

One of the main reasons why some people make money online, and other people don’t, is that the successful group keep producing new content (blog posts, products, services, etc..), and the unsuccessful group keep procrastinating in doing those things.

If you find that procrastination prevents you from being the best you know you can be, then here are 3 habits that if developed can help you tremendously.

Habit 1 – Take Your Goal, and Slice it To Tiny Pieces

If you want to achieve online success then you have to be the master of your thought (not the other way around).

If you have only made a few dollars online, and you say to yourself “I want to earn a $1000 online by next month “then you most likely going to  procrastinate because the goal you set for yourself will not look real and achievable to you.

This does not mean that you can’t aim for a $1000, yet it will be better if you say to yourself something like:

“My main goal is to make a $1000, so my mini goal is to first make $10, and my second mini goal will be to make another $10, and so on…”.

If you slice an unrealistic goal to tiny realistic goals, then you will have a great chance of achieving your main unrealistic goal, because every tiny mini goal will look to you more achievable, and you will feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of moving forward with each mini goal you complete.

Now, let’s move to Habit 2:

6 Honest Ways To Find A GOOD Money Making Product

by Amir Rimer on April 14, 2012

I always say that the best way to make money online is to find someone who is already successful, and then follow his / her footsteps.

The problem with implementing this philosophy is:

That you don’t know who to trust.

In this blog post I want to share with you a few of the methods I use to research a money making product before making a buying decision.

I will also share with you the ‘advantages’ and the  ’disadvantages’ of using each method.

3 Simple Ways To Get FREE Images

by Amir Rimer on April 13, 2012

If you are creating online content on a regular basis (blogs posts, eBooks, etc…)  then sooner or later you will probably want to buy images as a supplement to your content.

You can surely find millions of images online by doing a simple Google search, and then download those images to your computer to use for your content.

Yet, there is one major problem with this method, and it is:

‘Well…not very legal’.

Many of the pictures you will find online are copyrighted, and you simply can’t use a picture without permission.

Sure, you can find the images that you want to download, and then contact the owner of those pictures, and ask if you can use them for your content, yet this can be a very slow and tedious process.

So, if you have been struggling with getting images, here are the three super quick ways I personally use to get free images for my products,  and blog:

If you have read my previous blog post then you already know that eBay is the number one place I recommend you go to sell cheap domain names.

In this post I am going to explain why:

Reason 1 – Traffic

You probably don’t need me to tell you that eBay is one of the most popular websites in the world, and due to that it will be in your best interest to sell your products and services there.

Many well known Internet gurus will tell you that they have made their first dollar online on eBay, and this is simply because of the sheer amount of traffic that eBay drives to sellers auctions.

Putting your auction on eBay.com is like putting a shop on a very popular shopping mall. Instead of working day and night to get people into your store you just put your store in a place where people are already at.

Reason 2 – Buyers

Of course traffic is important, but you also need the RIGHT kind of traffic, meaning, buyers traffic.

Many people who go to eBay.com go there to buy something, and not for any other reason. We can’t say the same thing about people who come to your site from Google.com, for example. Many times people who come to your site from Google.com are simply looking to find free information, and they hope that your site can deliever that free information to them.

Introduction To Domain Flipping

by Amir Rimer on April 8, 2012

If you have completed my Flip Course training program then you already know how relatively easy it is to make money online fast by selling simple html websites.

I have made the word ‘relatively’ bold because making money online is certainly not easy.

To make money online you need to work hard.

Yet, if you compare selling websites (website flipping) to any other ‘make money’ method, then selling websites is a faster way to make money.

Now, I know that some people do find website flipping challenging to master because it involves a few technical tasks, such as creating, editing, and uploading html files (of course you can outsource those tasks), and I can completely understand that.

If you are one of the people who find the process of building a website challenging then I guess I have written this post specifically for you.

What do I mean?

I will tell you.
