Your oDesk profile (or Elance, Guru, and other freelance writing sites) is your most important asset. It makes the difference between you and the thousands of other oDesk contractors competing for a job. Therefore, you need to make sure that your profile is as good as possible.

1. Emphasize what’s important

The first thing that you should consider when editing your profile page is what information you will include. A good profile should not be too loaded with information. Think that the employer will decide in minutes, maybe even seconds, if you are suitable for your needs.

You want to make sure that the information that matters – experience, skills, references is visible and easily accessible. Focus on what is really important, rather than making huge lists of skill or completed projects.

2. Show off your best work

A portfolio is a must for a good oDesk profile. Use the built-in portfolio on oDesk to make a display of your best achievements. This can include web pages, pictures, writing samples, and just about anything you consider worthy. Keep in mind the first point, so don’t exaggerate.

3. Be persuasive

On oDesk, Elance or Guru, your profile is your business card. What you say about can convince the potential employers. To create a persuasive oDesk, describe yourself in powerful terms that employers like to hear. Use professional, expert, skilled, etc. Avoid words that suggest that you are inexperienced. Don’t tell the employers that you are a “quick learner” or “up-and-coming”. They will be influenced by them, even if they don’t realize it.

4. Be honest

Don’t lie in your profile, or at least don’t exaggerate too much your skills. This can turn on you later, by creating false expectations from the employers. A lie in your oDesk or Elance profile can also damage your reputation, both on oDesk and offline. A profile doesn’t need to be spectacular to be successful. Just clearly mention your skills and qualities and you should be fine.

6. Complete the profile

Don’t leave empty spaces into your profile. They look really bad. Try to find about all the relevant things about you, which might impress a potential employer. For example, if you have good computer skills, mention them, even if you are a freelance writer. They might prove useful someday, and they will also look good in your profile.

7. Ask an expert

The best oDesk profile is sincere, professional and well-thought. Give it some time, and don’t just rush it. It’s essential for your future success on oDesk, Elance and just about any other freelancing sites. If you really want to have a high quality profile, look for the advice of experienced freelancers. They always have good insight on what works and what doesn’t, so you may obtain some precious advice from an oDesk expert.

A very interesting way to make money from home is by accepting and accomplishing online freelancer jobs. There are several websites that have good opportunities here, such as Freelancer, Scriptlance, oDesk, PeoplePerHour, Guru and eLance to name a few. The principle of all these online freelancer jobsites is mostly the same-you get project notifications, then you bid for them if you are interested and if the employers are interested, they get in touch with you. There may be negotiations and some general discussion before any project poster decides they want to accept your bid. Once that happens, you can start work and get paid as decided upon.

However, though this seems so limpidly clear, there are many people who are cheated through these online freelancer jobsites. In most cases, it is because they did something wrong while placing their bid.

Hence, the success of your online freelancing tasks depends on the kind of bid you place. You have to be very meticulous here. Here are some things that you have to keep in mind while bidding.

1. Do not bid on each and every project that comes your way. Most online freelancing jobsites give their members a selected number of bids per month. So, you have to use your bids wisely.

2. Always makes sure to read the project instructions in full. Do not just look at the title and assume that you have understood everything.

3. The task must seem like something you can do. If there is even one aspect in the project description that you cannot accomplish, you should give it a pass and wait for something better to come your way. Remember that these project posters can rate and review you. So, if you cannot do a good job, you may get a bad rating and that can affect your future prospects on the website.

4. Apart from looking at the project description, you should also look at the budget of the project poster. Do you think this is a reasonable budget? Is what you are hoping to get within this range? If the money is not good, don’t bid.

5. Look at the deadline also. Most project posters will tell when they want their jobs to be submitted by. You have to make sure you have the time to work and that you can finish the project within the stipulated timeframe.

6. Look also at the reviews that the employer has got. See what other people are saying. Are they complaining about insufficient instructions, poor communication, rude behavior, delay in payment, etc.? These are things you have to be very careful about.

7. How comfortable are you with the whole thing? You need to be completely satisfied. If there is something you wish to know more about, you can post a message for the employer in a clarification board.

If everything is well and as per your liking, then you can go ahead and bid. Best of luck!

With so many internet so called guru’s out there supposedly going to make you rich, well who do you trust? It’s funny how we seem to put our trust in a caring struggling stay at home mom who is trying her very best to make ends meet. You can paint a vivid picture in your mind of the type of stay at home mom who falls into this category. The baby crying in her arms a toddler pulling at her knee,all this whilst a huge utility bill lands on the hallway floor. In desperation she turns to the internet and some way or another manages to make a few quid online.

She grows confident gets better at what she does and starts to make a success of herself despite all the drawbacks, when you visit a website or blog run by her, you can after a few visits start warming to the way in which she responds to you. For example, answering all your emails, contacting you via skype, and all this with a family and home to run. Okay big time gurus may come up with big selling products, but how many of us actually use them and put them into practise. Yet when a stay at home mom starts making loads of money from doing what she preaches, we want a piece of the action if a busy wife and mother can do it “so can we.“

that’s why we love to follow these type of people and it doesn’t have to be a stay at home moms either,it could well be a stay at home dad with a young family who is down on his luck, who one day decides to have a goat running an online business. He doe’s so well that he makes a good solid business out of it. Its reassuring that of the thousands of internet marketers out there, there is still room for stay at home moms to make some decent money and show us how its done.

So how does a stay at home mom make good money on the internet? “Simple” she learns how to build relationships and develop trust.

Cheers Mick.

There are so many conflicting pieces of advice out there about how to start an online business or what steps must be taken in order to achieve success, but the problem is that 99% of all the advice you see out there is just plain wrong. On top of that, the advice that is put out there is often just to get you to buy some hyped-up product that does nothing for you and simply makes the sleazy guru selling them richer.

Because of all this conflicting advice, I have decided to kill all of the myths and scams out there by giving you a few of the real steps that you need to understand and apply in order to build a successful online business.

Here they are in no particular order:

#1 – You have to build a list of names and email addresses

When you build a list of subscribers who are interested in your product or service you have, at your disposal, a very targeted list of people that you can advertise to over and over again. The problem with having a list is that in order to have one that makes you money, you really have to work hard to build it from scratch. Unless you have friends who are online business successes already, you will have trouble building a big list overnight. Therefore, be sure to make list-building one of your top priorities as it is absolutely an essential part of becoming successful with your online business.

#2 – A variety of products with varying price ranges

In my own business, I have products that range from $27 and go all the way up to $497, and everything else in between. In order to ensure that you can reach all levels of income, create products that will be affordable to the masses as well as products that will be available to those who are more serious about your products.

#3 – You have to develop your name/business/brand

If you want success with your online business you will have to work hard to develop your brand. This can be done in a variety of ways, but my suggestion to get yourself well-known fast is to write lots of articles, develop and build a blog loaded with high-quality content, and get your name out there in all sorts of social media. Use tools like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to put yourself out there and develop a following of loyal readers.

#4 – You have to interact and build relationships with your target audience

You want to work hard to build good relationships with your audience. This is achieved through your email autoresponder, your blog, and through interactions on social platforms. You should make it a priority to develop back-and-forth conversations on your blog as well as in your email marketing campaign, as people who like you are more likely to become your customers.

Internet business tips are a dime a dozen today. Thousands of websites are filled with so called guru tips for Internet businesses. If you will read all the business advices available online, you might suffer from information overload.

To save you from information overload, here are some practical tips on how to make your online business more competitive and successful.

Marketing Is the Key to Your Success

If you have an online business, you have to give more weight to online marketing. That is because marketing can make or break your business. You have to bear in mind that your online business will never succeed if you can not attract people to take your offer.

You have to start your marketing efforts the moment you build a business website. Use all marketing tools available for you. You can compete in the search war or you could engage in Pay per Click advertising. It is also ideal to explore article marketing or flooding the web with press releases. There are many tools available for you. All you need to do is adopt one or several marketing methods to magnetize customers to your website.

Provide Value for Your Customers

Giving value to your target market is one of the most common Internet business tips that you can find today. That is because online consumers are very picky. If you can not provide value to them, then they will immediately look for better alternatives.

You have to make sure that your products and services can answer the unique needs of your target market. If you provide a solution to other people’s problems, then you are creating value for them. This could mean massive sales for you.

It is also unproductive to simply push your products to consumers. You need to pre-sell your products and services by providing accurate information to your customers. Give details about your products and underscore the benefits that you offer. Through effective pre-selling, more people will be encouraged to do business with you.

These are the two crucial Internet business tips for all online entrepreneurs. Providing value for consumers and adopting a solid marketing strategy are key elements that will determine your online success.

If you have surfed the internet at all in the past decade you no doubt have run across a gentleman by the name of Mike Dillard. He is a well known internet marketer/trainer that is a master of self promoting and self branding.

I must say at the onset that in doing this Mike Dillard review, I found him to definitely be somewhat of an online marketing guru. I believe he coined the phrase “Attraction Marketing” and teaches this concept in one of his courses. Attraction marketing is simply put, marketing yourself so that people are searching for you to either purchase your products or to join your program. Instead of being the hunter you become the hunted. Although Mr. Dillard may have coined the phrase attraction marketing, it certainly is no secret how to accomplish this.

When you become a member of his program you will receive some great bits of information. To get the “real good stuff” you will be gently persuaded to purchase other programs to learn different marketing strategies and techniques. I must add that all of his training materials are worth every penny, it is of course totally up to the individual to take the time to learn and apply the training.

If someone were to purchase all of the Mike Dillard training offered in his system and took the time to study it, they should at the least, learn a lot about how to make money online. Another option would be to partner with a program that makes available all marketing training included in one membership fee.

Generating an income on the Internet is a learnable process. Valuable information is available online thru several training sites. The truth is, if you are willing and determined to learn, there is be no doubt that you can be successful.

It’s really not a big secret, but there’s a lot of people struggling with starting their own businesses who just aren’t “getting it.”

The first time I ever heard the term “guru” (I’m dating myself here…) it applied to some hippie-type person espousing the answers to life via various forms of meditation (or illegal substances…). Nowadays, with respect to online businesses, the term “guru” is applied somewhat randomly to almost anyone who’s proven themselves adept in the rapidly changing internet marketing arena. As the internet continues to expand at an explosive rate, so too are the number of “gurus” popping up everywhere.

Gurus are most successful at marketing themselves, along with their products which invariably promise to be THE answer to the seemingly endless number of strategies on how to be successful at promoting your business online. For a beginner in this rapidly changing virtual arena, gurus can seem larger than life. After all, they’ve figured this stuff out! And they’ve made buckets of cash in the process. Who wouldn’t want to be a guru?

There’s something very basic, however, that every “guru” knows, that perhaps the majority haven’t clued into…

Gurus never started out to be gurus. Rarely will you find one today who will admit to suddenly waking up one day thinking, “Gee, I think I want to be a guru.”

The fact is, gurus happen. They happen on their way to other things, and they happen for several, very consistent, reasons.

As you do research into some of the most successful, high profile “gurus” today (you know, the ones coming out with or promoting product launches every other week), you’ll find the majority will never claim to be an instant success- They ALL have their failure stories.

The only difference between a guru now, and the person they were when they were failing, is that THEY NEVER SAW THEMSELVES AS A FAILURE. Gurus by their very nature take failure on as a challenge; as an opportunity in disguise. Failure to a guru is simply another challenge to learn and grow.

In essence, the most important things that you can learn from gurus, apart from what they’re selling you, are the character traits and practices to which they consistently adhere. These are the things which lead them to their success, and ultimately promoted them, per se, to “gurudom”:

1. Gurus always surround themselves with success-minded people because that’s what successful people do (i.e. water DOES seek its own level).

2. They understand, and pay attention to, the laws of the Universe with respect to attracting and ALLOWING success and abundance into their lives. Seriously. Listen to anyone of them talk about their favorite authors and mindset coaches. What follows is,

3. Gurus are energy and vibrationally AWARE. If you don’t know what that means, then one of the most important books you could start with is “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. There’s not a guru on the planet who doesn’t have a copy.

4. Gurus don’t complain. They understand that complaining attracts more things to complain ABOUT.

5. Gurus do not resist, they PERSIST.

6. Gurus understand the power of GRATITUDE and express it freely. It brings more things to be grateful FOR.

7. They understand the power of FORGIVENESS, and that the most important person they may need to forgive is themselves as they maneuver through life.

8. Gurus know that helping others helps THEM.

9. They know that success is a TEAM SPORT.

10. Gurus FEEL deserving of success and know that being jealous or resentful of someone else’s success only pushes it away for themselves. (Back to that vibration and attraction thing…)

11. Gurus are perpetual students, open to learning. They understand that when you stop learning, you stop growing,and when you stop growing, the game’s over. And gurus LOVE BEING IN THE GAME. Which brings us to,

12. They are never complacent. Gurus are passionate about what they do, whatever it is they are doing.

If you find yourself struggling, understand that it’s only a temporary part of your own success story. If you don’t feel like a leader, follow AND ACT like leaders until you do.

Surround yourself with success-minded people and be a sponge. KNOW that you’re just a guru-in-training. In a nutshell:

Evaluate who you spend most of your time with

Be open to learning new ideas.

Help others.

Don’t complain.

Be grateful.

Be vigilant with your thoughts, words, and deeds.

Forgive and believe in YOURSELF.

Persist.

Gurus understand mindset, above all, determines success. You are important. Everything you do, everything you say, everything you think, has an effect and it can either lead you toward or away from your goals, whether that be in business, or life in general.

Oh, and one more thing… Gurus know that ANYONE can be a guru… even you.

Here’s to your guru-ness!

Ok, you contacted a top Guru and you are ready to tell him what you want. The problem is what do you say? How do you set up your plan? Would you like to learn what to do?

There are 3 ways that you can structure your JV partnership that will help you get the best out of the experience. Let’s get started with your plan.

Here is the first way to structure a JV partnership: You must think in terms of what commission do you want to give your partner. As a rule of thumb you don’t want to be stingy. You want to commit to a partnership so give them the bulk of the commissions – up to 75% to 90%. This will give them the incentive to want to join in on a partnership with you.

Here is the second way to structure your JV partnership: You want to establish what marketing and promotion part you will be getting from your JV partner. You can ask for a one time mailing to his or her list or you can create a long-term plan where they will promote your product on an ongoing basis. This should be established up-front so that everyone is clear on the direction that your partnership will go.

Here is the third and final way to structure your JV partnership: This one is the heart of your partnership and that is the deal or contract that you want to set up. This can be done in many ways for example: If you have created a product than you can give them a sample and ask them for a testimonial to send to their list. Another example: if you are providing some kind of service you can offer them your service for free in exchange for them marketing and promoting your service. Last example: If your own a membership website you can offer them a set number of monthly or annual memberships or split the fee in half for their marketing and promotion efforts.

So there you have it, you want to think about what commissions that you want to pay, what marketing and promotion that you want to receive and what will the actual agreement that you will want to have in place to make this partnership work. Once you have established these structures you will be well on your way to a successful joint venture partnership.

When we start making money online it can be hard for a beginner to get started. We sign up for all these guru’s lists hoping that their product will help us make money. Sure you may by a few of these products but the truth is its either rehashed information or they leave out that missing piece that you need to start making money.

So in the end you get frustrated and say this product is a scam or this product didn’t work. The truth is people who buy these products once they realize that they have to do some work to see results they quit. They end up buying product after product and it becomes a never ending cycle.

The reality is people who want to make money online they are looking for someone to teach them. They are looking for a step by step guide. Most of these products or membership sites assume that you know how to build a website or know what HTML is. But for a person starting out they are scared to death about building websites. Now they have website builders that you can sign up and use for free to build your own websites. If you are just starting out you can use a free website but once you start making a little money get your own domain and hosting. That way you will be in full control of your website not somebody else.

Its not only about building websites. There’s some terminology that you have to familiarize yourself with. There’s a steep learning curve to making money online.
