Business To Investment

Getting Started in an Internet Business

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

If you have a business and a website, chances are one of your goals is figuring out how to get people to your site. There are two ways to get traffic: organic (people find you) and paid traffic. I came into my online tax education business (TaxLoopholes) almost as an after thought. I wrote a [...]

Long Tail vs. Focus

A friend of mine asked me a question a few days that keeps rattling around in my brain. I’ve talked on this blog and at the First Class Lounge Forum at TaxLoopholes about my million dollar mistake. Basically, I got caught up in the glamour of writing a book and doing interviews, that I let [...]

Don’t Forget to Renew Your Domain Names!

We’ve had this conversation a few times as an aside at the TaxLoopholes First Class Lounge Forum. I think it’s worth another reminder because I just saw a site make this fatal mistake. Don’t forget to renew your domain names! I buy names and hold on to them for the “some day” future of creating websites [...]

Having a Plan B

Part of having a successful business means being able to always have a Plan B ready to go. I think we may be on to Plan D already after last week. A big part of the BusinessToInvestment challenge is the websites. And that means I rely heavily on Jorge’s crew at LatAmConnect. Last week, Jorge was [...]

One of my strategies has always been to build a database. For every business activity - is this making money? and if not, is this building my database? And to be honest, there is something rather nice to sit around with the “big boys” and talk about the size of my database. So, there’s some ego [...]

Why We Have a Disappearing Middle Class

In the course of a week, I talk to clients and TaxLoopholes Community Members who struggle to make their businesses work and others who make $1 million or more (taxable income) per year. I review tax returns for free for people who considering becoming clients. The vast majority of the returns are from people who [...]

Remember to Moderate Comments

I have just a couple of sites that I keep watch on, but I find that someone with moderator control needs to be regularly checking. At the TaxLoopholes First Class Lounge Forum, largely because it’s a subscription based model, there isn’t that much moderation needed. We don’t get hit with the spammers. I did have [...]

You’ve built it. You’ve figured out your model. You have drip marketing in place. You understand your sales model. Now, will they come? That’s where I am with HighTouchSystem right now. My old standby site, TaxLoopholes, is careworn and needs a lift. I’ll be working on that, as well as doing some change in branding, [...]

Technology Keeps Getting Cheaper

I spent today going through accounting records. Now, isn’t that everybody’s dream Sunday? I found something pretty interesting though. Wow! Have my costs gone down. In fact, I’m sure I had been overpaying for a few years more than I should have. In March 2007, I bought my partner out of TaxLoopholes and some other ventures [...]

Do More of What Works and Less of What Doesn’t

I am a bit of a stats junkie. I love trying something and see what happens. I’ve been dancing around the whole MLM concept and when a friend’s income suddenly popped a few months ago, I finally got off the fence and jumped in. The thing I like about this particular opportunity is even if you [...]
