HOW TO FAST TRACK YOUR BUSINESS TO SUCCESS by Kevin Bidwell
We all want overnight success, yet I often see sites
languishing with low traffic, low sales and low profits for
years.
I wanted to help you avoid that.
Here are three simple rules that, if followed, will help
you to avoid many of those pitfalls and "fast-track" your
way to business success.
1. Study and Plan First
I am a "do-er" while in most cases that is a plus, sometimes
I need to stop "doing" and plan a little more strategically.
My friends Andy Jenkins and Audrey Kerwood have *several*
medium and high traffic sites listed at the pinnacle of
Google for great, targeted keywords.
Their sites are all a very well thought-out strategies of
combining a market niche, high demand, low competition and
affiliate or drop-shipped products.
And every time I talk to them they have just banked another
$10,000 from a new idea.
Lucky for the rest of us, they are willing to "share" some
of their most lucrative secrets so you can profit from the
same careful planning and preparation:

2. Take time to read "the good stuff"
I typed "internet marketing" into Google. Up popped almost
5 MILLION results. Let me help you narrow the field.
Any time you are looking at purchasing a marketing product,
take a look at that site's Alexa.com rank. (You can download
a toolbar there which will give you a rank on every site you
visit.) Here's what you can tell about the site BEFORE you
trust their materials:
(1) Does the site itself get traffic? If it's Alexa rank is
50,000 or above, the site is not getting any significant
traffic. As I write this All-In-One-Business.com has a
3 month average Alexa rank of 9,790 and our weekly rank
is 5,665.
(2) Even if it has a low Alexa number, is the site a
Subscriber site? If so, Alexa can be artificially low
because the same subscribers are visiting again and
again.
(3) What are people on the net saying about this product
and/or "marketing guru"? Type the suspect's name into
Google and see what pops out. A few negative comments
and pages out of hundreds of positive comments is fine,
if half the comments are negative, you should avoid this
product like the plague.
(4) Do trusted sources recommend the product? While almost
every product has affiliates who recommend it these
days; people like myself, Allan Gardyne, Andy & Audrey,
Ed Thorpe, Shelley Lowery, Chuck McCullough, Rosalind
Gardner will only recommend products we believe in.
These four questions will give you some idea of what will
be profitable for you and what will simply be a waste of $$.

3. Get to know a successful person (or two.)
The single most important thing you can do to ensure the
rapid success of your business is to hook up with someone
who is ALREADY successful. While it is difficult to just
"barge in" to their often already busy lives, there are
several ways you can contact them:
(1) Try the phone. While many do not take phone calls,
some do. Give them a call.
(2) Become an affiliate. Successful affiliates are ALWAYS
noticed. Make a few sales and you will likely be a
person they notice and spend time with.
(3) Offer or ask for help. If you have a skill that can
be of service to them, provide it. If you need help,
ask. While the latter is less effective than the
former, both can get your foot in the door.
(4) Pay for it. Many of us offer in-depth help. Whether
it is an hour of their time or a full-blown seminar,
it is worth the money if it gets you "into" their
circle. Over a very short period of time a mentor
can make you thousands of dollars. To get an idea of
how mentoring works--at least with me--go to:

Follow these plans and you are likely to see your success
skyrocket--and in less time that you think!
