Money tends to rate high up on the list of needs for people planning on starting or moving into business ownership.   Here’s 7 tips if you need start up financing for your business.   1. Clearly identify how much you have available. The best place to start is yourself.   If you have some capital available to invest in a business this is a great start as other parties you approach will take you more seriously.   They will take you more seriously as they want to see that you have “skin in the game. ”  Once your position is clear, family and friends are the next to approach.   If you say they have money make sure it truly is available.   There is nothing more frustrating than approaching professional lenders with your well thought out business plan showing a clear financial plan that includes a partial capital injection from family and or friends.   The lender then approves their loan subject to the other parties contributing but then everyone finds out the family and or friends have changed their mind and al the planning by all parties has been a waste of time.   2. Identify what you need. How much capital do you need and why?  Is it to buy equipment, buy inventory, pay a franchise fee, downpayment on a business or cash to fund the business operation?  There are different types of lenders for different types of loans.   Get the “why” worked out quickly so you can find the right lender to approach.   3. Research your options. There are different lenders that focus in different areas of the market.   The obvious place to start is your local bank or credit union.   Hopefully you have a good enough relationship to speak to the business development officer at your branch or be referred to this person.   If this position doesn’t exist, ask to speak with the manager.   If your bank can’t help, ask for a referral to a lender that can but make sure it’s clear why you need the loan so you are introduced to the right lender.   If you’re still looking for options, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has a wealth of knowledge.   Search online at www. sba. gov.   If you still need options, search the internet but focus on keywords that are specific to the loan you need.   For example, if you need a loan for cash flow and have accounts receivable to use as collateral, use “accounts receivable loan” as your key words and you will come across lenders that provide factoring.   Once you find some companies that can help, make sure you are comfortable working with them and research the full costs and terms of the loans.   4. Support your loan application. Wanting the money for your business won’t be enough.   Proving you need the money won’t be enough.   A quality lender will want to see a business plan explaining how the loan will be used, a resume detailing ownership experience (and therefore the ability to repay the loan), education, credit history and most important of all in today’s economy, the appropriate management experience to run the business and therefore repay the loan.   If you need help on how to write your business plan, look for the article I’ve written called “10 tips for your next business plan. ” Supporting your loan application also includes looking at your credit score and credit history.   These two points are important.   If your credit score is in poor shape and you can clearly explain why and the lender is comfortable with the explanation, they may approve your loan.   For example, if you had an auto accident a few years ago that resulted in medical bills that are now under control, your poor credit score is explainable.   Similarly, before applying for a loan get a copy of your credit report.   Often there are mistakes on your credit report.   Get these removed before applying for a loan so this problem is eliminated.    5. Build cash flow projections. Lenders eat and sleep cash flow projections.   This is what they do for a living.   The stronger your cash flow projection the greater your chances of success in getting the loan approved.   If this is not your strength, get help from your accountant or someone who knows and understands cash flow projections. If you want some free tools to help put your loan together, visit my website www. Andrew-Rogerson. com/samples. htm and download item 4 which is a bank loan application form so you can see the questions they ask.   Item 5 is a Personal Financial Statement while item 6 is a Loan Amortization Schedule that shows you how long and how much it will require each month to pay back a loan.   Plus there are other options.   6. Sell your need. Once you have the data built and ready to launch your loan application, practice your sales pitch.   Don’t over embellish but be confident, know the ins and outs of why you need the loan and practice your response so you come off confident.   The lenders aren’t looking for a sales pitch but they are looking to see that you believe and that if they need to escalate your loan request to higher management, you will present strongly and not have their judgment questioned.   7. Keep educating yourself. As you work through each step of this process, ask questions.   It’s amazing how options appear from places you least expect because you talk to a friend who knows someone at Rotary who specializes in these sorts of loans.   Alternatively, they may not be able to help you with that loan but they can help strengthen you and your application so it gets approved…which is what this all about in the first place.   Obtaining a loan or finance for a business has been very difficult.   Because the economy is stabilizing and government programs are beginning to have a positive effect, loans are available as long as you the borrower, present a professional business case.

There are five critical areas an SBA lender considers in detail when deciding whether to underwrite an SBA loan.   These five areas are Cash-flow, collateral, credit, management experience and liquidity.   If you plan to apply for an SBA loan make sure you consider each of these areas.   You don’t need to be perfect in all these areas but if you are weak in one area you will need to be so much stronger in another. Let’s have a look at each of these in a little more detail. 1. Cash-Flow This is one of the most important areas.   The lender is using a concept called Debt Service Coverage (DSC. )  In simple terms, the lender wants to know that the business is producing enough positive cash flow to service the costs to run the business, provide an adequate income to the buyer so they can pay their personal bills and feed the family etc plus service the debt that will be incurred if a loan is approved.    To use some numbers to provide a specific example, if the buyer of the business wanted to make an SBA loan that required an annual loan payment of $100,000 for the loan only, the bank would want to see the business generate a positive cash flow over and above all expenses to run the business of at least $120,000 per annum or at a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1. 2. When deciding whether to lender money to the buyer of a business, the SBA lender analyzes the tax returns for all the businesses in which the borrower(s) owns 20% or more and the living expenses of each borrower and any sources of income.    All this information is considered within the time frame of at least the last three years so the SBA lender will need the buyer to provide 3 years of tax returns plus interim financial statements that are less than 90 days old. 2. Collateral As the banks are primarily concerned with risk management, to protect the loan they may extend to the buyer, they look for collateral to take to support the loan.   Collateral is simply an asset on standby the bank can take and seller if the borrower defaults on the loan. When determining how much collateral is available, banks discount the property because they rarely get 100% of its value if the property is foreclosed upon.   These reasons include that payments are usually in arrears, they will incur costs to sell the property such as agents and attorney’s etc.   Typical discounts are 20% for residential properties and 20% for commercial real estate.     Additionally, banks view properties ranging from easy-to-sell to difficult-to-sell.   For example, factors that make properties harder to sell are: a) location, such as the property being in an outlying area, b) condition, might be old or not kept up, c) type, might be single purpose or raw land.      3. Credit The credit of the borrower is important to the SBA lender.   However, other areas of the business loan application need to be strong if the buyer’s credit report is poor.   For example, if the business cash flow and collateral are strong, poor credit can often be overcome.    If either of these areas are weak, however, the credit history becomes increasingly important.   Some banks focus on FICO scores, while others want to focus on the explanations to determine how much weight to give to credit issues.   If you are thinking of applying for a loan to finance the purchase of a business, before you start looking for a business to buy, check your credit report and history are in order in case there are errors and you can therefore correct them. 4. Management Experience In recent years, this area has become more and more important to the SBA lenders.   Recent analysis of why business buyers failed showed that a lack of management experience in an industry was contributing factors.   If the business buyer has not previously owned or managed a business in a particular industry may lead to a quick loan decline.    Conversely, a buyer with the requisite management experience has shown the lenders that the owner has a greater chance to maintain revenues/profits at historical levels.   5. Liquidity A business buyer needs to have a certain amount of money in cash to buy a business.   The bank doesn’t want a hard asset used that needs to be sold so it’s critical that initial down payments be in cash.    A borrower can borrow their down payment but this new loan payment must be factored into the analysis.   Also keep in mind that different if you borrowing for a construction project, it may require even more liquidity to ensure the project’s completion.    Finally, start-up businesses require significant savings to fall back upon and in the current economy are very difficult to finance.     Successfully applying for an SBA loan requires planning, attention detail, perseverance and follow up.    If you are looking to sell or purchase a business, you need the right professional advice for your situation and from someone that’s done it before.   If you have questions or need more information, visit my website at http://www.

There are many ways to learn internet marketing on your own. However, to effectivly utilize internet marketing as a career you must first find the right mindset. As with any aspect of life, attitude can make a difference between successful Internet Marketing and failed Internet Marketing attempts. So with that in mind one of the first things you should do is develope a positive mindset. Apply this positive outlook towards Internet Marketing right from the moment you begin to learn how to market on the internet. Remind yourself frequently that there is nothing you can’t learn. Don’t let your confidence be shaken, keep an “I can do this” attitude. Chances are as you begin to learn Internet Marketing you will encounter terminology that you are not familiar with. If you do not have a positive mindset, the lack of knowledge may derail. If you find this happening to you simply remind yourself that there is nothing you can not learn. Don’t get discourage, instead, use your access to the internet to look up the meaning and learn the Internet Marketing terminology because. . . There is nothing you can’t learn. Internet Marketing is not a race. If you need to spend sometime researching marketing terms then by all means take the time and learn them. Getting comfortable with the lingo will make it that much easier for you to learn. You will thank yourself later when you discover that technical terms no longer slow you down. While you are reasearching the terminology, become familiar with basic Internet Marketing tools as well. Learning about these tools before you try using them will help you keep your positive mindset for two reasons. First it will help you distiguish the unnecessary tools from the necessary ones. Second, it will keep you frm becoming overwheled by tool many tools. Make note of tools that pique your interest, but don’t leap on them until you have learned more about Internet Marketing and how to apply the tools. Then you will be in a better position to evaluate what value, if any, a particular tool has to your marketing model and plan. Keep focused and keep moving forward. This will prevent you from getting bogged down in details that are not yet essential for you. One thing to realize is that no matter how positive you try to be, there will be days when it seems like nothing you study is making sense. Recognize that you will have those days, continue to remind yourself that there is nothing you can’t learn. If you begin to feel overwhelmed to the point that you are losing your positive mindset then it is time for a break. Turn off your computer and walk away. When you return from your short break chances when you pull up your study material, things will begin to make more sense and your positive mind set will still be intact. Remember that you can be whatever you want to be. All you have to do is take the time to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills you need to reach your goals. This may not happen overnight, but if you keep your chin up, work hard, and assimilate what you need, your confidence in your ability will grow and you will get where you want to go. You can learn successful Internet Marketing.

If you brought ten entrepreneurs together to ask them to make a list of the five most important traits of a successful entrepreneur they would probably finish up with eleven lists. Entrepreneurs don’t like predictability and arriving at simplistic answers. However, if you read each of those eleven lists, I think you would find the following traits on a lot of those lists.   1. VisionOne of the first attributes of all successful entrepreneurs is having a clear vision. The evidence of that is easy to see from the most successful companies – Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, Johnson and Johnson, and so it goes on. If you’re an existing entrepreneur, what made you start the journey of being a business owner? Make sure you haven’t moved away from that. If you have, find it again and re-focus your long term goals.   2. PlanWhen was the last time you revisited your business plan, sales and marketing plan, communication plan and productivity plan. Too many plans? Most businesses take seven to 10 years to be “successful. ” Success is not an overnight event. It may arrive quickly but it may arrive quickly because of the blood, sweat and tears it took to get there.   3. Keep it real… and in perspective. It’s not your imagination that sales are down, customers don’t seem as happy as they used to be, employees are worried but as an entrepreneur “keep it real” till the dust settles and you can get back to it.   4. PeopleI would suggest that no entrepreneur has been successful on their own. It would be equally true, that all successful entrepreneurs developed to a very high degree, the ability to communicate and inspire a team that they led. I would suggest this is even truer today because of the many layers to running a successful business. The many layers of legal, accounting, sales, marketing and technology prevent one person from doing them all. However, they do not prevent one person from hiring the brightest and best and building them into a powerful team.   5. No is a word – not a destinationKeep looking for people to buy your product or service. In a challenged economy they will be less and you are going to have to ask more people to get a yes. That’s what sales is all about so keep selling.   And probably the one trait you will see on all the lists is – never give up.   If you are thinking of becoming a business owner but are not sure where to start, you have three options. Option one is to start your own business, option two is to buy an existing business or option three is to buy the rights to a local franchise. Each option comes with different variables you can explore and understand further as I have written a book on each option available from my website – www. Andrew-Rogerson. com.

The #1 Biggest Problem with Most Google Adwords CampaignsIn my opinion, Google Adwords is possibly the greatest advertising medium developed for business owners, like yourself, in the last 20 years. As an advertiser using Google Adwords, your goal is that, when someone types a keyword relating to your product or services as a search on Google, your ads will be displayed. The visitor gets taken to your site where they will hopefully sign up for more information or make a purchase. Instant, measurable, affordable, controllable – there really is no other advertising medium which gives you the same results. However, set Adwords up in the wrong way and you will spend cash for poor results and you will end up disappointed. The following describes the #1 biggest problem we see with most Google Adwords campaigns and what you can do to fix it:Poorly Constructed Webpage/Landing PageThis may seem as though it is unrelated to Adwords, but in fact, this is the cornerstone of every good Adwords campaign. Think about it, what is the point in paying to send traffic to a website which is not compelling and does not generate sales or leads? You might as well take a pile of cash and set light to it. When we consult with businesses on their Adwords campaigns, we always include a critique of their landing page/website, because we can send the best targeted traffic to a poor website and the results will still be poor. Several issues to bear in mind when looking at your website/landing page:Does your site offer something that your target market actually needs or wants? Have you researched your market? Have you made sales already from your site? If not, you should put yourself in your customers shoes and really critique your offering. Does your site/landing page relate to the keywords/ads that sent the visitor to the page otherwise the visitor will hit the back button result, wasted click! Does it include a headline? You have a fraction of a second to capture the visitors attention the headline needs to hit visitors hot buttons, be relevant and related to the search they performed. Is the site well designed, look professional and easy to navigate? Otherwise, that back button will be used again! Does the site include useful, relevant information that helps the visitor make a decision about the product or service you are offering? Are there multiple ways for the visitor to interact with you? Do you just offer a phone number and email? Are you collecting leads if the prospects dont purchase right away? If you are not offering multiple methods for a prospect to interact with you, you have no idea whether your site is of interest and no method of performing follow-up marketing. Are conversions set up with your website to capture statistics in Adwords relating to sales and leads? If not, you are flying blind with your campaigns you receive leads/sales but you have no idea which ads/keywords generated the action. Get your website right before you spend a ton of cash sending traffic to it otherwise you will have nothing to show for the work you have put into your finely tuned Adwords campaign.

I’m not going to lie to you. Affiliate marketing is hard if you don’t know what you’re doing. Sure it’s easy to sign up with all the affiliate merchants, collect your affiliate link and banners for as many products as possible with the intention of promoting all the products but it’s just not going to happen unless you have a proven strategy. Here are 3 tips to help you create powerful landing pages that will not only add more buyers to your subscriber list but also rank you high in the search engine results page. Tip 1 – Include a sign-up form to build a buyer’s list. This is important! You want to collect the names and Emails of every single person that lands on your page. If they’ve happily given you their information you are allowed to follow–up with them and finalize any missed sales. Not only that but you’ll be able to build a database of trusted buyers who will respond highly to you in the future if you’ve got another interesting product to promote either as an affiliate or a product of your own! Tip 2 – Include a bonus package for buying through you! People actually ‘Google’ product names for reviews and bonuses. They want to see what exactly a product is about without all the hype and want to see what bonuses are available for that product. When they’ve made a decision to buy they want to see who’s offering the best bonus package. Make a mental note of this because this is your chance to shine and out-do your competition! Tip 3 – Optimize your landing page for specific keywords! Don’t waste your time trying to target the highly competitive keywords that all the mainstream websites are after. You’re much better off picking a handful of high-targeted keywords based around the product’s name, a review of the product’s name, problems with the product’s name, the product’s name with ‘bonus’, and so on. Add these keywords and phrases to your title tags, meta description tags, h1 tags, h2 tags and on the first and last paragraph of your page. Not only will you find it easier to rank highly in the search engine results page but you’ll be attracting the ‘buying’ traffic that you’re after.

Copyright (c) 2009 Larry D JohnsonLet me start off by telling you what an affiliate website is. An affiliate website is defined as a website that sells other’s products or information for profit. This is one of the best types of investment sites simply because you don’t have to worry about a product or service, promotion and marketing tools, not even a website. They are all provide by the affiliate company. To help you become a successful affiliate, many companies provide marketing and promotional tools that you can use. Here are a few ways that you will maximize your profits from your affiliate website. 1) Join affiliate programs that offer high commissions. Each affiliate program is different, especially when it comes to the amount of money is paid for each referral. If you are only going to make a fraction of a penny each sale, why bother when they are thousands of other programs that offer much more?2) Join 2 or 3 tier programs. A “tier” program allows you to not only sell their product or service for profit, but it also allows you to recruit others to do the same. Once you recruit others, you then gain profits for each of their sales as well. A 3 tier program allows you to collect profits for the people you recruit AND the people they recruit. Essentially, you make money off of their efforts. That’s called leverage my friend, one of my favorite ways to do business online. 3) Join affiliate programs that offer lifetime commissions. Lifetime commission means that you not only make money on the initial sale, but you will also earn commission each time that customer comes back and buys something additional. Even better, you can join a company where the sale made has a monthly fee attached. That means you don’t have to worry about trying to keep selling your customer. Here is what is so neat about this monthly fee system. You get paid a commission every month like clock work as long as your customer remains a paying client. This is my personal favorite. 4) Join Google Adsense. There is no doubt in my mind that Google Adsense is by far one of the most profitable and well known affiliate program on the internet today. Instead of making money based on sales, you make money based on when someone clicks on the link. Perhaps one of the best features is the fact that the ad generated by Google Adsense is targeted towards the content on your website. This means that the customers that visit your website are more likely to click on the ads because they pertain to what they were looking for in the first place. Alternatively, Google also allows you to place a search box on your site, and you will be paid each time someone uses it and visit a link. Because Google Adsense changes its links to match the content on the page in which it is found, it can be used easily on every page of your website, including pages with other affiliate links on them. You may want to read up on how to profit from google adense before you jump right in. Google has their own tutorial that has some great information. To find related materials and articles on Google Adsense, just do a search on your favorite search engine. Maybe even an affiliate program or two as well. 5) Join affiliate networks. An affiliate network is a website that offers a wide variety of products and services to sell on your website. This allows you to easily search for affiliate program in which you want to market. It also will monitor all of your commissions from the various programs, add it to one account, and then send you one check once the amount in your account exceeded your specified amount. If you have ever tried to manage several affiliate programs at once, you will greatly appreciate this feature. 6) Optimize your website. You will want to make your page friendly for both search engines and your visitors. Do a little of research on the best way to optimize your website, in the long run it will get you a lot better traffic. Search engines use bots to scan and track your website in order to index it. You must provide these bots with easy to read code, keywords, and content. Use keywords and information that describes the product you are trying to sale. More importantly, you will want to make your page friendly for your visitors. Make sure you have a clear, easy to read website that remain constant throughout. Make sure that your pages load quick, as you may have some customers that are on dialup. You will want to make sure you include a navigation menu on all pages of your website, which leads not only to the type of product that they are looking for, but also other categories as well.

In order to increase your affiliate sales, you need to optimize your landing page, so that it helps promote your affiliate product beforehand. Thus, the look and feel of your landing page is very important. Since you want your visitor to do click on your affiliate link and do nothing else, you must always keep your landing page free from all distraction. Here are some tips that you can use to improve your landing page and ultimately, increase your income. Discover The Secrets To Landing Page Optimization Page Relevancy Relevancy is important. Your landing page must be able to match the keyword and products to your target audiences. This is because relevant content draws in more relevant visitors and they are more likely to purchase from you. Make sure that your landing page promotes product related to your content and nothing else. If your affiliate product is baby care lotion, then “baby care tips” or “caring for baby skin” must be the content on your webpages. Don’t sell a beauty product on electronics webpage. This is a major mistake make my many affiliates. Be Direct Clarity is important because no visitor wants to guess what your landing page is all about. If your site is so unclear that your visitor has to guess, then your landing page has failed the optimization test. Always keeps your content clear and direct. People goes away almost immediately, when they have no idea what you’re offering. Strong Headlines Are Important Your headline is the first thing you must look at in your landing page. Whether you attract or repel your visitors depend largely on your headline. Your headline must capture the emotions of your readers in order to get them to read further. Keep the headlines simple and clear, and always focus on the benefits. Talks About Benefits Another important key to successful landing page optimization is product benefits. You start by going through all the benefits and write down the major ones. Then use the benefits to tell them how great their lives will be, after using the product.  And you must tell it in such a way that touches their emotions. Your readers are more likely to purchase from you, when they knows what they are getting. There is a difference between benefits and features, you must not confuse them. The results that a client gets after using the product are the benefits, while the things that a product can do are the features. So, to improve your closing rate, focus on benefits more than features. Make Your Site Professional A sloppy website will not look good and will not gain trust from visitors. You have to make sure that your landing page looks as professional as possible. Here is a basic guide to making your website look professional: Text size between 10 to 14 in Verdana or Arial Fonts Background must be bright and text must be dark Have no more than 3 columns Keep all the links in standard blue text Your landing page must have the images of your product Thoroughly edit the page’s content for any grammatical or spelling errors Many people build landing pages, but fail to optimize them. So, when their product don’t sell online, they wander why. Eventually, the affiliates conclude that the product simply doesn’t sell online and give up. Don’t let this stop you. Just follow these methods above, optimize your landing page and increase of your conversion rate. Discover The Secrets To Landing Page Optimization
