I don’t believe that we have seen the worst of this financial crisis yet. No matter whether the bailout bill finally passes or not, this country is in for some tough times. There will definitely be job losses and the housing market will continue to go down.

Being Yourself Online 22.09.08

Being Yourself Online

When people tell you to “be yourself”, what does that mean?

Everyone has multiple aspects of their personality that they show depending on the situation. For example, you might be a very different person at work, with close friends, or with your family.

It is definitely important to be yourself online. People want to connect to a real person, not some fake figurehead. So go ahead and show your personality. But give some thought to which aspects of your personality you want to emphasize.

I really have not done much forum marketing so far. Forum marketing is where you promote yourself and/or your products by posting in forums.

You don’t spam the forums by posting blatantly promotional material. Instead, you just contribute helpfully to the forum, and put a discreet link to your blog, email signup, product page or whatever, in your forum signature. People will appreciate your helpful posts, and will check out the link in your signature.

Buying a Domain - Lessons Learned 11.09.08

Buying My Domain

As I mentioned in my recent post on Twitter, I don’t really like being known as “Pat Doyle”. I much prefer just “Pat Doyle”. But when I went to purchase my domain name, patdoyle.com was taken. So I decided to brand myself as Pat Doyle instead.

It has always bothered me a little, though, and a couple of months ago, I noticed that patdoyle.org was available. I purchased it, thinking that using .org was better than having to stick with the “b” in my domain name.

Selling Information To Those Who Need It 01.09.08

Photo by helmet13

I have heard time and again, and I believe it is true, that the real way to making big money online is to create and sell your own products. I am talking about information products, such as ebooks, videos, audios, membership sites, paid newsletters, etc.

What all these have in common is that you are selling the information you know about, to people who want to learn it. These people are happy to pay you for the knowledge you have, because they will get much more than the purchase price in value when they learn and apply your information.
