There's a lot of noise today about building and selling businesses fast, which is awesome as long as it is not at the expense of the integrity of your product or service. Not all businesses are the same. Some take much more time to develop than others. Give your business the necessary time it needs to grow and don't rush it.

Lean Startup

Don't spend a lot of time and money on the first rollout of your product or service without testing it on your target market first. Get as much real market feedback as you can as you develop your product and service. It will save you wasting a lot of capital and effort. Like this podcast?

Understand Your Target Market

You have to know them BETTER than they know themselves. Wow them by sharing insights into why they are going through what they are, that they didn't even know existed.

Go For Gold

Don't try to be everything to everyone. Identify your ideal client and what keeps them up at night. Create your service offering around that.

Marketing Machine

If you spend too much time on marketing, which you don't get paid anything for, you're reducing how much money you make per hour. Create a marketing machine that will filter out your ideal clients, and that will work for you on autopilot. Like this podcast?

Less Content Is Better

My previous thinking was that the more articles I publish, the more changes I'll get visitors from Google searches. That is true, however, if your articles overlap with closely related content, it can and will hurt you.

With Google, its all about quality, not quantity.

Consolidate your content and get rid of out of date articles.

Backlinking

Trying to create your own backlinks, e.g. through guest posts on other people's websites, will get results for you... but only temporarily. Your page one Google position will not stay there for long.

What really matters is if your content is the authority. If it is, then others will backlink to you and you'll stay on page 1 of Google indefinitely. Like this podcast? If you're enjoying the podcast, it's safe to assume there are others out there like you who would also enjoy the podcast.

We negotiate every day

It's hard to go a single day without negotiating. We negotiate at home, at school, at work and in business. Anytime you enter a communication with someone where either one of you, or both of you, want something, you negotiate.

Important negotiation strategies

When entering a negotiation, you need to a) prepare for the negotiation, b) listen to the other person, c) look for a 'win-win' situation.

Don't be afraid to negotiate

Negotiating is not a bad thing! As long as you are respectful, you will always be satisfied with your life if you negotiate. If you don't negotiate, you will never get the things you want.

The banks and the Government WILL take your money. It's just a matter of when. Just ask Damion Lupo.

Sorry, your 401k and superannuation accounts are not safe.

Most people don't realize what measures governments have taken to get out of debt, including taking their own citizens money. Most people don't also realize just how much they're paying in exorbitant fund manager fees, that they just don't need to.

In this interview with Damion Lupo, he shares with us some great insights into what is really happening with your retirement fund. The government is not going to take care of your finances for you. Neither is your hedge fund manager.

No one will take care of your finances better than you can. The good news is that there are a lot of options available for you.

Want expert advice on automating your business?

Family, friends and colleagues thought Joshua Latimer was crazy when he gave up his career with J.P. Morgan and Chase to begin a cleaning business!

It's not about you

Your business should never be about you. Create your business around the vision and systems processes.

The more you remove yourself and are constantly automating your business, the more the business can grow and you can have the money and the lifestyle you want.

Hire staff based on attitude and culture fit

Get started on your podcast immediately.

Don't wait until you feel that you've got your format down, or that you have a unique message to share, or that your intro music is good enough, blah, blah, blah.

In the beginning no one cares. Get started now and you'll develop your podcast as you go along.

Starting your own podcast? Keep it simple!

Don't go all out and buy an expensive microphone and audio editing equipment. You don't need it.

In the beginning the only thing you need is a half-decent mic. You can get one for around $60 and that's all you really need to get started.

I still use free audio editing software like Audacity today.

Having your own podcast gives you greater control

There are not many opportunities to have your own media outlet where you have complete control. With a podcast you are able to communicate with your followers in a unique, personal way...

...and offer that to your guests. This gives you the opportunity to have high-quality guests on your show imparting valuable content that will benefit both you and your listeners. Like this podcast?

The first thing that this interview did was reinforce just how powerful the Amazon FBA opportunity is and that it is the best way for people to get started creating a new online business for themselves.

Whenever family and friends come to me asking, "what is the best way to make money online?", for the past 18 months I have been telling them to start an Amazon FBA business.

The second thing I got out of this interview is that to be successful in business, you need to do things a little different than everyone else.

If you're selling the 'same' stuff as your competition, you won't stand out, and if you don't stand out, you'll have to divide the spoils equally with your competitors.

By creating physical products that are a little different, especially if they are in some way better than the competition, you'll be a lot more profitable. Like this podcast? If you’re enjoying the podcast, it’s safe to assume there are others out there like you who would also enjoy the podcast.

The main insights I got out of this interview with Eliot are that we need to always be asking ourselves questions that focus on the end result; good or bad.

An example of this would be customer experience in your organisation. Questions you could be asking yourself include:

What do I want my customers to say about me?
What will make my customers want to refer their friends to me?
If a customer is not happy with their purchase, or the purchasing experience, how will I make it up to that customer to keep them happy?

Once we've asked ourselves these questions, we can them make plans to bring these scenarios into reality. Like this podcast? If you’re enjoying the podcast, it’s safe to assume there are others out there like you who would also enjoy the podcast.

Here’s a transcription of the podcast:

What I wanted to talk about today was the best free and paid traffic sources for 2016.

These are traffic sources that I highly recommend.

Many of them I personally use but I don't use every traffic source available. Sometimes it is not wise to do that. You can't gain traction if you try too many things.

But most of these traffic sources I personally do use. Some of these I don't but I know that they do work as they come highly recommended from people that I know that are doing very very well in Internet marketing.

Best Paid Traffic Sources for 2016

I'll begin with paid traffic.

The reason why I'll start off with paid traffic is because it's very quick and easy, especially if you are starting up, to get traffic.

A lot of free traffic generation strategies take time to build up but paid traffic is instant.

PPV Networks

The first one that comes to my mind and that I personally use is PPV paid traffic, or Pay Per View.

This traffic is typically popups that will appear on people's computer that a part of PPV networks, which they allow to appear.

Basically you can have your website, i.e. your squeeze page or landing page, literally popup before target people because you can specify when this popup appears.

An example of this would be an online florist. They would have their popup to appear when anyone is visiting any website related to florists and flowers.

You can even have your popup to appear over competitor sites!

Another reason why I like PPV is that you can target specific countries that you want your ad to appear in.

PPV advertising is also extremely low cost. We are talking less than 1 cent for your website to actually popup.

It’s excellent for optins because you can have, for example, a squeeze page or landing page appear.

When it comes to paid traffic there isn’t a better source.

There are a lot of different PPV networks out there. I’ve tried many of the best ones, and the ones that I’ve gotten the best results with are:

Propel Media (formerly known as Trafficvance) 50onRed

Be aware that you’ll need to pony up $1,000 upfront to join Propel Media and LeadImpact. You can use that for your own advertising though.

This is a good thing for you, that there is this entry requirement, because it means less competition.

Facebook Advertising

Another paid traffic source that I highly recommend for 2016 is Facebook Advertising.

Facebook Advertising is excellent because you can target any geographic area. This is especially good if you have a local or physical business.

You can target specific countries, states, cities, and even post codes.

It can also be very low cost if you set up your ads to target your specific audience.
