Healthy You = Thriving Business

Believe it or not, your business is not simply about the strategies you apply on a daily basis. Sure, you can run a very successful business while working around the clock and not taking time out for your health, but inevitably we can only go on that way for a set amount of time before we burn out.

Instead, why not attack your business strategy with a multi-step or a “whole” approach. This idea is based on the fact that a healthier and more positive you will mean a more prosperous and thriving business.

Here’s how to do it:

#1 – Take care of you. You are at the forefront of your business. In order to stay there, it’s important you take the time out for yourself. Give yourself a set amount of time each day – it doesn’t have to be a lot of time – to enjoy the little things that give you pleasure. Remember all work and no play really does make for a dull day. Take time out to enjoy the things that are important to you away from the business.

#2 – Eat a healthy and balanced diet. Although this may be time-consuming at first, eating a healthy diet is the one thing you can do to make an instant improvement in your business.

Following a healthy diet means that you’ll have more energy overall. You’ll suddenly find getting through your tasks becomes easier and your new sense of energy will also help to bring a fresh perspective and ideas to your business. Remember it’s not only your body that will be more energized but your mind too – an extremely important tool for running a profitable business.

#3 – Exercise a little. Just like following a healthy diet, exercise will help you stay energized and motivated. Many entrepreneurs swear by early morning exercise. They say that this “sets them up for the day” and keeps their energy levels up.

If fitting in regular exercise seems daunting, do it one step at a time: park the car a bit further, walk whenever you can, cycle to work, walk around the block at lunchtime, climb the stairs a few times a day – a little goes a long a way when starting out.

#4 – Keep stress levels in check. Stress really can be a silent killer. And when you’re running a business you may be under constant stress without even realizing it. Take time out to do a few breathing exercises each day, follow a healthy diet, exercise, take the time to simply refresh and recharge your batteries on a daily basis. All of this will help reduce your stress levels and keep you functioning at your best.

#5 – Take care of your mind. It’s not only your body that needs to be kept healthy, your mind does too. Take time out every day to relax and clear your mind of all work and responsibilities. Studies have proven that people that regularly meditate are more productive, healthier and happier.

This is probably because by doing this you’re also reducing your stress levels by keeping your body rhythm steady and relaxed. Make it a point each day to choose a suitable time to reflect and completely clear your mind of all your worries.

Finally, remember your body is a vessel and what you put into it and the way you generally look after it will make a big difference to your overall life. By taking the time to care for your body and mind properly, you’re indirectly helping your business – because if you’re at your best, then you will give your best in everything you do. That can only lead to good things.

Webcasting and Podcasting � What Is the Difference?

Here’s a simple comparison to help you differentiate between the two.

Webcasting is similar to traditional broadcasting in some ways. Basically, it’s a video recording of you or others on the net. You can have a news webcast or an interactive one where you hold an online class and participants can view you on video.

Podcasting is similar to traditional radio in some ways. As a podcaster you can have an internet radio show where you invite people on to interview or simply record your thoughts on audio and share with your audience.

Both can be a great method of publicity and interaction on your website. More than ever people are looking to connect on the internet, and both a podcast and webcast can help them do that.

It’s also great news as far as search engine results for your business are concerned. A webcast and podcast may mean more repeat visitors, which is a positive sign for the search engines. If you then repurpose your content by adding it in text form to your webpages, you’ll gain additional SEO points.

So how do you choose between the two?

The decision is ultimately yours but it helps to think things through a little before starting. Ask yourself a few questions:

Do I like the idea of appearing on video regularly? Or does that mean more work for me – i.e. looking presentable, getting your hair done, honing in your presentation style, etc.?

Is an audio recording easier or more within my comfort zone?

Do I have a good speaking voice?

Do I have the presence to hold a viewer's attention on video?

What is my end goal with this?

Will my target market respond better to video or audio? Note: it may be easier for some people to listen to an audio then it is to sit and watch a video.

Whether you choose one option or the other or both, podcasts and webcasts are great additions to any online business. It may also be worth noting that it is beneficial in may ways for you to produce a text version of either the podcast or webcast. You’ll always have the visitors who prefer to read and this option will not alienate anyone. It’s also a great plus for your search engine rankings.

How To Manage Your Expenses Effectively

One of the most important factors to succeeding online is managing your cash flow. It’s a balancing act to be sure, particularly in the early stages of your business. You want to receive money in a timely manner from your customers and pay out money as infrequently as possible. However, there are also items you want and need to buy and it’s easy to overspend, particularly when you’re shopping online.

Here are three tips to manage your expenses effectively.

#1 Develop a system. It doesn’t matter what your system is, as long as you’re consistent and you stick to it. Some people prefer to track their money using an online tool like mint.com, excel or QuickBooks/quicken. Other people prefer the old-fashioned checkbook register or an excel spreadsheet.

It doesn’t matter what system you use, find the one that works best for you. What matters is that you stick to it. Track each and every deposit and withdrawal, each income and expense, and consult your account before you make any purchases. A little planning and a commitment to a system work wonders to maintain a positive cash flow and manage your expenses effectively.

#2 Get a business bank account, and use it. Keep your money in one location rather than having a credit card with one account, a debit card with another and a checking or savings account with another. It’s easier to track finances when they’re all coming and going from the same place. And it’s much better, come tax time, to have a designated business account.

It’s vitally important you don’t mingle your personal finances with your business finances, for tax and legal reasons. Protect yourself by keeping all business related expenses and income coming and going from one account. It makes it easier to keep track of what’s going on with your finances and it makes it easier to stay on track.

#3 Create a budget. Budget, the big B word of business. It’s a word that many people hiss in contempt. Budgets limit and restrict, right? Wrong. Budgets give you knowledge and freedom. Think of your budget more as a financial plan. Know what you have, what you need and where you’re going. Allocate monies for certain aspects of your business plan, for example, your marketing strategy, and keep some in reserve for those extra expenses, (like that eBook you found online written by your favorite industry expert).

So step one is to get a business checking account, create a financial plan/budget, and create and stick to a system. Follow these three tips and you’ll be on top of your finances and rolling in your financial freedom in no time. You don’t have to be an accountant to manage your finances, it just takes a little diligence and a smart system.

Niche Research Basics

What is a niche?

A niche is basically a sub-market within a larger market. By marketing to a niche group you ensure that your marketing message is specific to that group. And although that group may be smaller, your conversion rates (ie. sales) should be higher.

An example of a niche market within the weight loss market is “weight loss after pregnancy” or “weight loss for children.”

Now that you understand the basics of niche marketing, here are a few tips to help you with your research.

#1 – Magazines and books. Your local bookstore is a fantastic starting point to your niche research. Take a look at the new books on the shelves. This will give you many new ideas for markets and potential products.

An even better research tool is the magazine stand. Magazines are notoriously difficult to print and distribute. This means that if you see the same magazine running concurrently on the stands, you’re looking at a good possible niche market.

And when looking through magazines, take a specific look at the advertisers within the magazine. These are the people that are potentially making money within the niche. What types of products are they promoting? Do you see similar products throughout?

#2 – Amazon.com. The Amazon website is a great tool for helping you find niche markets without even having to leave your house. Take a specific look at the book and DVD section. Narrow your search by choosing “new products.” You’ll see an array of books and DVDs on a variety of topics.

Amazon specifically contains many small niche books which you may not find at your local book store. It’s another great starting point for your market research.

#3 – Ezinearticles.com. This is a huge site filled with articles on nearly every topic under the sun. You’ll see the main categories listed and then sub-categories within those. These are your niche markets and the ones to pay specific attention to.

Each article will contain a link to the author’s website in the bio line at the end of the article. When you read the articles, take a look at the different authors’ websites. By visiting these websites you’ll start to get an understanding of what the niche involves and what products are being presented to that target market.

Ezine Articles is a very good source of information and one every marketer should look at on a regular basis. It will help you stay up to date with all the latest trends and markets on the internet.

#4 – Entrepreneur.com. This is another great website for “bigger picture” marketing. Entrepreneur.com has many features on new business start-ups as well as information about marketing and business. Although it may not be the best place for niche market research, it certainly is a good source to get an overall feel for different markets.

Niche marketing is a great approach to internet marketing. Rather than going for a large pool of customers, you concentrate on a small amount and instead aim for higher conversion rates. This makes your overall marketing efforts easier and even more enjoyable.

The tips here will help you get started with your research. It’s recommended that you use several different approaches to your research. The more you can research a market before diving into it, the better.
