[I11]I Did A Bad Bad Thing

by Carrie Harris, Car

Now, if you look at internet marketing and apply this concept of a virus to it, it is just what you want. You want growth in marketing, otherwise you don't make any money. If you were to give away an ebook to three friends, and they each give it away to three friends, and so on, you can see how this virus is a very good thing! You soon will have thousands of people exposed to your ebook simply by giving it to only three people! Within this ebook, you have products and services that you recommend and are an affiliate marketer for. Include your affiliate links, and you will see tremendous growth and an instant viral downline!

Of course, like most things, viral marketing does have drawbacks. There are people out there who steal affiliate codes and change them to take your commission from you. The good thing is, there are remedies for these problems. There is a cloaking software and page re-directs, and it works like forwarding. Cloaking does what it sounds like it does, it hides the 3"long affiliate links that companies have you use, and hides the affiliate code from robbers. You don't need to worry though, because the advantages of viral marketing outweigh the drawbacks.

You want to be sure to let other people spread the ebook around. You can use an autoresponder to deliver it automatically. Don't sell your ebook because it will limit how many people want it. Remember, the more that get it, the more clicks to affiliates you will get, and the more money you will make! You will create an instant viral downline!

Don't worry if you don't have an ebook or web site content. You can find base articles and just re-write them to work as an original. This is a great time saver when starting out.

So, you can see that viral marketing is a very good thing. You can't be afraid to jump out there and become an author or even a webmaster. Heck, why not become both? Ebooks and information are extremely hot products. When marketed virally, it spreads and grows larger, just like your commission!

When is debt not the evil thing we think it is? When it is business debt. Here you can have a balancing act between needing money to grow your business and getting under a mountain of debt and having it crush you into bankruptcy. I’m going to share some insights that made me a millionaire as a businessman. They’re simple and will work for you too.
When are business debts are a good idea; when I need the money to grow my business. I sell a product and get paid for it in 30 days, well sometimes they push it to 60 days. I need operating money to cover that period and the more money I can have out the more money I can make.
Remember you only make money if they actually pay you. If you are so busy with new accounts, which is the fun part, you might get a little sloppy with collecting outstanding accounts, which is not the fun part.
If you get too far behind and cannot service (pay) your debts someone will come and take stuff from your office until they are satisfied you are even. This really is not good for company morale and yes I have seen it done.
Business debts are normally for investing in something business related. Inventory, a building, payroll, even patent applications. Most lending institutions have a higher respect for business ventures and apply a much lower interest rate to those types of loans. They know from experience that a business is way more likely to make money and repay the loan. Compare this to someone who wants $5,000 for a new wide screen TV. The lender knows the TV will lose most of its value the second it leaves the store and is a higher risk for them, so they charge a higher interest rate.
While most businesses do fail in 10 years, not many of them are trying to fail. Lenders understand that and overall give better terms and rates to business loans. Businesses can use that leverage to grow their business much quicker. You still have to apply good money management skills or if it goes bad, it normally goes bad with a lot more of your money at stake.
You get good money managements skills from your personal finances. Learn to save money, keep your credit card balance at zero, invest in things you know and repeat this until rich. The same with a company, keep your customers happy, keep debts low and cash flow working, and invest in things that get you more and better clients. The most important thing is, when you get a concept that works, work that concept until it does not work anymore. Do not change something that makes you money.
Too many business owners love to spend money and do not like to collect money. This will kill your business, make sure you have the ability to sell your products to clients you know have a high probability of paying you. This skill is often learned the hard way, meaning they don’t pay you and you go under. If you have no experience it can be worth it to hire someone who can keep an eye on your receivables (money owed to you).
There are a lot of lessons in this article, how to use debt, how that same debt can crush your business. How personal finance habits can and will affect your business and to know when to hire an expert. I hope you can use these and grow your business into a huge success, the more of us that are out there the better.
