BE HELPFUL

Be helpful? What does that mean? I don't get it. Hunh? are a few of the responses to my answer, so of course I will explain.

Let's say you want to establish yourself as an expert in your field. One great way to do so is to join forums that are related to your field. Introduce yourself and give a little history when you first join so people know a little about you.

Then browse through the forum and look for questions people are asking. Answer their questions as fully as you can. If you do not know the answer, use the search engines and find out what the answer is. Be courteous when answering. Provide links to where they can find out more information and confirm your answer.

This accomplishes five things.

1. You were helpful.
2. You may have learned something new by looking up the answer.
3. You now have a bookmark for a website you may need later.
4. You have established yourself as someone who can provide answers.
5. Other people saw how helpful you were.

#5 is probably the most important of all. Some people read your answer, saw how helpful you were, and probably visited the website in your signature and are now a potential customer.

Whenever someone calls you, emails you, or comments on your blog with a question, take the time, make the time, to answer them even when it doesn't make you any money. Once people start taking your advice, most will help you in return and won't mind helping you make money later.

Sign up for affiliate programs that pay well. Things you know the people you deal with might need, like web hosting, web design, seo, etc.

When people are asking your advice, ask them if they need hosting or whatever. If they say yes, ask them to use your affiliate link to sign up. It costs them nothing. It makes you money. And since you have been so helpful, they do not mind helping you make a little money.

Make sure the places you refer them to are actually good companies. Again, you are being helpful by referring them to something worthwhile and you make money doing it.

Learn how to search the web. I don't mean just going to Google and typing something in. Learn advanced search methods and other sources besides just search engines to find what you are looking for.

Once you know how to really search the web, you can be even more helpful. You will be able to find things other people cannot find. This valuable skill can make you more helpful to others and make you more money.

If you provide a service or product, provide free consultations and offer free information for your potential customers. Find non-competing services, products, free coupons, and other things that you know your target audience will also be interested in.

Take a little time and find these things for the people you wish to do business with and you will soon learn how much they appreciate you and want to do business with you.

So many of us get busy and view some of these things as a waste of our time. I could be talking to a paying client right now instead of this person. I can't believe this person keeps asking me questions and they haven't even bought anything.

Yes, you do have to find the right balance, because you do have a business to run. But taking a little time each day or each week to just be helpful to others or adopting an overall philosophy of being helpful will make you more money in the long run than only focusing on "What's in it for me".

Some people you help won't appreciate it at all. They may turn out to be a total jerk after you have given freely of your time and expertise. But that is their problem, not yours, and they will wish they still had you to help them later.

Most people you help will respond in kind and appreciate your efforts. They will refer their friends to you and whenever possible, they will choose your services over another provider, even if the other provider offers it at a better price.

So, how do you make more money on the net?

BE HELPFUL.

Recently there has been a lot of press about the negative effects of being a blogger. One of the main issues that has risen is how it can be an unhealthy profession and cause illness in bloggers. These claims can ring true if you are not careful, but there are some ways to prevent that and make money with the internet.

No matter what profession you are in; whether it be blogging, sales, marketing or whatever; there will always be health risks involved. That is just a part of life in general. You need to be careful no matter where you work or what kind of lifestyle you choose.

Find the Right Balance
Blogging is something that can be addicting. It is a great profession in the since that you don't have to have set hours from nine until five but you can be flexible with the time that you have to blog. This can be both a positive and negative thing depending on how you look at it.

Even though you can set your own hours, this doesn't really mean that you should be staying up all hours of the night, sleeping late, eating poorly or not at all just to get the work down. You need to set your own type of schedule and try to fit in as many good activities as you can.

There needs to be a good balance between the hours you spend in front of your computer and the hours you spend doing other things. Spend time outside with your friends and family and leave your computer at home sometimes. Exercising is not only good for you body, but for you mind.

You Are What You Eat
When you are sitting at your desk, blogging all day it can be hard to really take breaks sometimes to eat well balanced meals. Especially when a can of soda and some potato chips are right at your fingertips! It may be hard to resist the temptations but when you have a low active job, you must eat right.

It is so easy to fall into a slump in your eating habits, but you have to pull yourself out of it. It is so easy to fall into bad habits, but much harder to get out of them. So set some positive goals right now that will help you to make it through the those moments when you want to give in.

Make a Plan And Stick To It!
No matter what your profession is, this advice can be helpful to you. Because our kinds of jobs are different then those of years before, we have to add an extra emphasis on eating right and exercising. Just try to find the right system that works for you and don't give up on it, no matter the consequences.

It can be easy to get off balance but if you really do what you should then you can be healthy and make money with the internet through your blogs.
