OAPD: Day 23 – Program Update

Written by Marc on April 26th, 2008 with 2 comments

Well, it seems like it has been forever since I have mentioned anything about the One Asset Per Day (OAPD) program.  Originally, I had intended to do an update each day but life has been a little busy.  That sometimes happens, but that doesn’t mean that I have stopped working by any means.

Over the past few weeks I have made some other lenses and hubs on Hubpages.com.  Some examples would be my first movie lens Flight of the Living Dead and one on the Flip Video Camera.

I have been making sites that are not really related to my core business to check out different markets as to whether or not …

A Call to Action for Women Online

Written by Marc on April 7th, 2008 with 12 comments

I was participating in a brainstorming call this morning with a group of women that are members of the Passion Project blog.  During our conversation an interesting thing came up:  there are not a lot of women gurus online.

Honestly, I had never thought of that before.  When I think Internet guru, I can really only think of men such as Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Andy Jenkins, Rich Schefren off the top of my head.  When it comes to women gurus, unfortunately, I really cannot think of anyone.

What does that mean for you ladies out there?

Opportunity.

I am always big on finding the next big opportunity or idea.  Well, this is not something that I can take …

OAPD: Day 3 – Dragon NaturallySpeaking Review

Written by Marc on April 6th, 2008 with no comments

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Review For Day 3 of the One Asset Per Day (OAPD) challenge, I decided to move away from Squidoo and do something different.  Today, I decided to make a Hub Page.

The topic for the Hub page that I created was a Dragon Naturally Speaking Review.  The reason I chose this topic is that I have been trying out the software for the past two weeks, and I thought it would be something perfect to write about.

It also helped that there are a large number of daily searches for “Dragon Naturally Speaking”, and not …

OAPD: Day 2 – Stress Relief Gifts

Written by Marc on April 4th, 2008 with no comments

stress relief gifts and ideas lens Well, Day 2 came a lot later than I had been expecting.  Unfortunately life has been a little hectic and I have been unable to continue the challenge.  That being said, I am not going to take a break from the challenge anymore (fingers crossed).

Today, I built another Squidoo lens for the One Asset Per Day (OAPD) challenge.  This one is in the health and shopping niche and it is for Stress Relief Gifts and Ideas.

I am trying a layout that I mimicked (similar …

OAPD: Day 1 – Skype Related Lens

Written by Marc on March 26th, 2008 with 4 comments

skype-usb-phone-adapter-review-thumb1 For Day 1 of the One Asset Per Day challenge (OAPD), I decided to go with a Squidoo lens.  I have had more experience making Squidoo lenses than Hub pages, so I knew it would be a quicker process.

The topic of today’s website is Skype USB Phone Adapter Review.  I decided to do a review on something I owned and had experience using.

Also, I picked this product because it is available on both Amazon.com and Ebay.com, in hopes of getting some affiliate commissions if anyone buys the Skype phone adapter as well.

Time wise, it …

One Asset Per Day: My Business Commitment

Written by Marc on March 25th, 2008 with 5 comments

One Asset Per Day Over the past few months, I have seen explosive growth in my business, but I have hit a wall.  You see, instead of building my business by creating more websites, I have been just riding the wave of my success.  Though that has been great, it is time for me to focus on building my business.

Originally when I quit my day job back in September, my goal was to build web sites and to keep them or sell them based on the income they generated.  Sadly, I haven’t sold one site at all.

Also, back in …

Exploring Online Business Opportunities

Written by Marc on August 17th, 2007 with 1 comment

It seems that it has been almost a month since I have written here.  It is not that I don’t have anything to say, rather it is because I have been busy that this site has not been updated.  What have I been doing that is so important that I don’t update the blog?  Read on and see…

Basically for the last month I have been working on a blueprint to get me out of work.  You see, my children are getting old (my oldest is just starting kindergarten) and I feel like I am missing their lives.  I miss doctor’s appointments, concerts, volunteering at school and church and many other things that just plain suck.  So, in essence, my …

Why You Need a Joint Venture Partner

Written by Marc on July 19th, 2007 with no comments

I think the title of this article is self explanatory ? at some point your business or organization may need a joint venture partner.  Why?  Below are four common reasons why you might want a joint venture partner:

Lack of Expertise

You may have good skills but are lacking in certain areas.  In my case, I am good at seeing the big picture and designing websites, but I lack content creation skills.  So, I went out an found someone to partner with who excels at writing and complements my skill set.

Lack of Capital

Perhaps you have some inside information on where to get a screaming real estate investment deal but don?t have the money to take advantage of your good fortune.  If you …

Four Green Houses, One Red Hotel

Written by Marc on June 3rd, 2007 with no comments

If any of you have played the board game Monopoly from Milton Bradley, you will understand the title of this post.  To give a simple explanation of this strategy, look at this list:

 

  1. Buy some properties
  2. Collect rent
  3. Build houses
  4. Collect more rent
  5. Trade four houses for one red hotel
  6. Repeat

This is a great analogy for life in business.  Start small, reinvest, and grow.  If you follow this simple strategy, you can and should excel in business and investing.  This can apply for online and offline businesses, and real estate investing.

This is also good motivation for those of you just starting out:  even if you are starting small, you can become …

Websites offer high ROI, low risk

Written by Marc on April 22nd, 2007 with no comments

If you are unfamiliar with owning a website, it is worth taking a look.  Websites cost as little as $0.99 at the moment, which would mean that you would have to go without your morning coffee to try your hand at being a webmaster.

Obviously, $0.99 doesn’t cover the development, marketing, or maintenance of your website.  None the less, if nine out of ten businesses fail in the first year, it would cost under ten dollars to get a website that would succeed (provided the odds work out as they should.)

Chances are that you could recoup your initial investment during the year.  Recently I crunched some numbers regarding a website project I was considering and my daily costs just …
