Before I get into one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made with Extreme Member let’s cover how to be successful online there’s a fairly simple formula you can follow to ensure that you’ll ‘Make It’. It aint that difficult and if you persist and are consistently going for it you’ll end up winning.

I’ve been a long time fan, fan-atic of Tony and the crew at Zappos and what they have achieved, the way they have built such an amazing company with such a heavy client focused organization.

Now to over deliver once again they’re giving anyone an opportunity to get a copy of their new culture book for free.

I highly recommend it and I’m sure you will get some real gems that you can use in your own business, things that you can do to improve the quality of your customer service and ultimately get more happy clients and sales.

Click here to check it out now. Just fill out the form and they will send you the book! I did say in my email out that there’s no strings attached. The only ’string’ as such is that you have to fill the form out – otherwise where the heck are they going to send the book to? So I don’t really call that a ’string’ more of a trade. Yes, I’m sure they will email you after letting you know about what they do etc. If you don’t like their emails OPT-OUT.

You’ll also notice they’re running a very healthy membership site. So you can get some great tips and ideas from them about that too.

I often marvel at just how persistent a 3 year old can be when there’s something they really want (our youngest is now 3 and very persistent!!). Whether it be not going to bed, wanting a lolly, a toy or whatever if it’s something they want they’ll crawl over broken glass or walk through fire just about to get it and in the process come up with some pretty creative justifications for it.

To be successful in business, sales, marketing or as an entrepreneur we need this same kind of determination. There are set backs from time to time, hiccups or other obstacles.

When it comes to thinking about your own business, goals and what you’re trying to achieve are you like the little persistent kid or are you like the person who runs and hides under your bed when work is involved or when there is the first sign of a challenge.

There’s never been a better time to be successful online. Let that little 3 year old persistence come alive combined with good business principles to see you reach your goals! it’s time to fly.

A membership website is considered to be a great way to ensure assured revenues and increased sales over time because of the fact that you can build a captive audience that has willingly logged in as members of your membership website. All marketers know the value of having an attentive and willing audience all too well. (more…)

Membership software is something that is critical to your success on any membership website that you may have decided to go ahead with. The fact is your membership site software can help you do a large number of things that you would have had to otherwise do manually and not to mention, painstakingly. (more…)

Among the new and innovative ways in which people are making money these days, the ones that are most popular are the means that allow them to make some residual or passive income on the side. Residual income has traditionally been defined as the income that you earn from interest, dividends and profit from investments such as stocks and the like. (more…)

A membership website can be a great way in which you can earn money for life, which is a huge relief since you do not have to worry about a regular income. The notion that running such a site full time does not deliver a stable income is something that really keeps people from giving up their 9 to 5 job. This could not be further from the truth, especially since you’ve tapped the capabilities of online membership management tools. (more…)
