I have been following the news on Yahoo and Microsoft deal in the past few months and I realized that Yahoo Chairman Jerry Yang has a lot of pressure under his shoulders. A lot of people wanted the deal to consummate at the price set by Microsoft. I will not be arguing on whether the deal is worthy or not. However, I admire his courage to withstand the pressure of being attack from different sides and still kept his ground.

Jerry Yang together with the other business-people like Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Steve Balmer etc. experience a lot of pressures. How these men respond to pressures is what counts.

One thing that I observed among these successful business-people is that they do not quit, blame others or whine about their mistakes. They however tackle the pressures and respond accordingly.

Pressures are like the wind… you cannot control it but you can set your sail to a favorable navigation.

Your response to pressure will determine your next direction.

Happy Marketing.

My wife is an avid fan of American Idol and she watch the show relentless. Aside from that she spend countless hours reviewing the opinions from fans about the performance of each contestant.

In today’s show there are about 38 million votes that came in. And this just the flock from the United States. I wonder if they have statistics for international viewers. What’s my point? 38 million viewers and they are also potential customers. Selling only a dollar to this followers will give you 38 million dollars. Well, this is only a rough estimate.

Itunes is selling 0.99 per download, you multiply that by the number of viewers then you have your gross sales. Impressive.

Perhaps this might be the computation done by the “ebook gurus” low price + sell it to the masses and there you have it “millionaire”.

Well, but one need to solve how are we going to reach the “million flock”.

Hmmm. Now this is one strategy to consider.

more power reaching our “million flock”.

by the way bye Carly -

Why am I writing an article about outsourcing? Because presently outsourcing is one of the most important factors in any business. Not only in a large brick and mortar businesses but it can also be applied to small or starting internet marketers like us.

So what is outsourcing? Outsourcing is defined as a method of hiring an outside service provider to perform specific tasks for you. To put it simply is giving to another person the work that you should be doing.

For example you own a shoe factory in the United States ideally manufacturing the shoes should also be made within the office but you decided to outsource it to china. Why would a business give away their competency to another establishment? Here are some of the benefits:

1. Cost. Sometimes outsourcing a job to another business is much cheaper because the production and investment cost is much lesser than setting up a department. Outsource businesses have already invested in their competencies unlike setting up another department for the production. Secondly and obviously the labor cost of china is much cheaper than that of the US, at least in mass production.

2. The second advantage of outsourcing is that the main business can concentrate more on the marketing aspect of the service or product.

What does it got to do with with small or starting internet marketers like us? Well if your main specialization is copywriting, designing a website might slow down your business or if you are good in developing website scripts and templates, writing a sales letter might stuck you up staring at the computer (well, there are some individuals that have mastered both ways, selling and making products per se). That is where outsourcing comes in, you can outsource some of the job like web design, copywriting, search engine optimization…etc. Outsourcing some of these jobs will help you concentrate more on developing your product niches and earning money online.

Where to find outsourcing provider? Here are some of the websites that let’s you find freelance outsourcer.

Just a reminder, if you decide to outsource make sure you review the outsourcer’s profile and portfolio.

Ghostwriters from the Inside-Out 

Turnkey Sites is one of the sale able items on the Internet today.  This article will explain to newbies what are turnkey sites and how are they going to help web entrepreneurs in their online business.

Turnkey websites are pre-made websites that are designed on a special niche.  In a turnkey sites every aspect or functionalities are already working, it means an entrepreneur will only install the site to the web server (sometimes an install script is already included), and wallah everything is already pre-made.  By the way you also need to include some of your personal info like (site title, contact info, paypal id, affiliate id etc.)

Turnkey websites are designed is such a way that starting web entrepreneurs need not to hire a web developer.

What does it cost for a turnkey site?  This will depend on what kind of niche will you be promoting.  For youtube.com clone websites, a respectable turnkey site ranges from $300 - $800, and sometimes it can go down up to $10.00 a piece (surf Ebay, the prizes are crazy but the after sales service is crazy too <sigh>).

Are there any disadvantages? Yes. Since the maker of the turnkey site is offering it to a large consumption of internet marketer, you might see a similar website same as yours.  Same in design and same in functionalities.  Solution?  After you have purchased the turnkey site you want to tweak it a bit before making it live.  Tweaking it like changing the theme colors and adding original functionalities.  If you are not completely a newbie in developing a site you may want to hire a web designer and developer for a fee.

Another thing if you will be purchasing a turnkey site solely without the hosting bundle, double check if the hosting requirements matches your hosting server.
