Yesterday, I received a very nice compliment from one of my long term clients. She stated that she really appreciated my assistance over the years and was happy to recommend me toher friends and family members. I was elated and asked her what she appreciated most about my services.She stated that I treated him like family. When I asked what she meant, she stated, “You make me feel like you genuinely care about my copy and my business. I feel like we’re a team that is in it to win. You can be counted on to get the job done. And, just like a friend or family member, I can trust you.” This made me smile all day long. I really thought about her comments and I realized that what she said was true. I really do care about my clients and their businesses. I work my darndest to please them and I really truly to establish long term and mutually beneficial relationships.

Therefore, my advice is to treat your clients like family and always:

• Keep your word. If you say that you’re going to turn in a project on a certain date then make sure that you do.

• If you find that you can’t turn in a project by a certain date, tell the client why and ask for an extension.

• If a client is unhappy with your work, don’t take it personally. Just see if you can fix the problem. If not, give them a prompt refund.

• Be fair with your prices and make them feel they’re getting a good deal. Command what you are worth but don’t overbill clients. They like to feel special and offering special deals and specials is a great way to build loyalty. Plus, nothing is more annoying than an inflated bill for subpar work.

• Take your client’s work seriously and do the best job that you can possibly do. Not only will this keep them coming back for more but it will demonstrate your sincerity and commitment to their business.

I love the idea of easy work equaling fast money but for me, this is NOT the case.

 I find that the only way that I can consistently meet my income goals is to work hard and consistently. When I don’t, I don’t meet my goals. Therefore, in the 2 years I’ve been doing this, I’ve learned that the rich quick mentality that permeate the internet marketing world is a bunch of nonsense.

Internet marketers who are promoting this garbage are those that want to capitalize off newbie’s ignorance and desire to make money fast.

Those internet marketers who are really making  IM work for them are the ones that consistently put for the hard work and effort. In essence, they work their butts off.

They are not the ones that are sitting on the beach sipping Martinis every single day.  They may do this on occassion but they had to put in 6-10 hours of work at some point to get to where they are now.

Instead, most of them are busy working. They consistently write blog posts and articles, participate in forums, create and sell product, get JVs,  social bookmark, and all that Jazz. And they do this on a daily basis.

In fact, those  internet marketers who do this consistently receive passive income for their efforts. In essence they work hard one day and reap the benefits another. Take me for instance, I make about $1300 in passive income each month and this continues to grow and grow but I had to work my butt off to get there.

I didn’t just write one article and wait for the money to come rolling in. No, I worked my fanny off and am now my hard work continues to pay off, whether I work my business or not.To me, the whole idea of easy work = fast money doesn’t work for me. Instead, I believe in hard work= money well deserved.What do you think?

Ever since I got back into Internet Marketing full time, I’ve been wondering how to create multiple streams of writer income. To me, this is not only important because you are able to diversify your earnings but you are also able to have a sense of security in case one method of income dries up. And, as writers we know that this does indeed happen. So, I’ve been looking into ways to diversify earnings and here is a list I thought you may want to check out.

Bukisa – This is a brand new revenue sharing site that pays residual income based on page views. You can submit text, photos, and even videos. In addition, to this, you are also paid referrals for any writers who sign up for your network.

My take on Bukisa – if you’re really good about generating traffic to your articles then this is definitely one that should be looked into. Right now, the Bukisa index is $3.92 (you make a whopping $3.92 for every 1000 unique visits ). This may not sound like a whole lot but it can add up, especially since this is passive income. It is important to note that Bukisa reserves the right to change the Bukisa index as they deem necessary. In fact, when they first started accepting submissions, the index was $4.20.

With this one, you are paid $2.00 for every 1000 impressions and $1.00 per daily 100 word post for your blog.

My take on having a Today Blog . This is a great opportunity for those who want to make guaranteed income and aregood at generating traffic. Think of this, you get about $28-$31 bucks per month guaranteed for writing 2800-3100 words and if you’re good at driving traffic, your income will grow. According to today.com, their top blogger made $700.00 last month from pay-per-post and impressions.
