This is a weekly series called “Everyday Entrepreneur” profiling successful online entrepreneurs who are seeing great success right now. No greater opportunity exists to start creating a part-time online income and then turn it into a full-time income then right now.
Please share this link with others who would benefit from a weekly dose of success.
Imagine going into work tomorrow and uttering those words and meaning it!
No matter how miserable you are in your job, no matter how much you long for the liberty you'd enjoy building a business of your own. You may be thinking in the back of your mind, is it really possible to go full-time online, especially in today's economy?
The answer is a responding yes and there's a guy in Dallas, Texas who just a few days ago did what might make budding online entrepreneurs still working at a job inspired in what's possible…
He gave notice at his job — to pursue his online business full-time.
Teevee Aguirre has been in management for 15 years, and has worked as the manager of a grocery store for the past several years. But as of March 1, 2009, he'll kiss all of that goodbye, and will begin working from home - or wherever else he wants to - as a full-time online entrepreneur.
So I asked Teevee the question that's got to be on the mind of everyone who's heard about his plan: Are you nuts?
He doesn't miss a beat.
He's done the math, and figures he could actually have quit a while back, comfortably. Adding together what he spends on gas, clothing, meals, and other expenses he racks up by working at a job, by working from home, he's automatically saving money.
His site's profitable, and between the money he's making online and the money he'll save, he'll be just fine, thank you very much.
That says nothing of the increase he's likely to see once he's able to devote more of his time to building his online business instead of spending time working at a job around the clock
Teevee started out like many people who catch a vision for building an online business. Being able to use his own mind, thoughts, and experiences to create something of value to people, something that could improve their lives — and where he could make money while he sleeps — was exciting.
Teevee was intrigued by the idea of not having to punch a clock, and physically work at a job to create his income. Instead, he could create a product and make money from it over and over.
Of course, once he got bit by the internet marketing bug, he faced the same challenges many internet entrepreneurs face.
He wanted it yesterday. There was so much to learn, so much to do, and he quickly realized this was not something he'd accomplish in a weekend. It was like catching a glimpse of the promised land, and then realizing he had to embark on a journey to get there. Quitting day would not come next week, or even next month.
This is where a lot of online marketers get frustrated and quit — or get tempted to take shortcuts that ultimately lead to dead ends. But Teevee did something really smart: he gave himself permission to take his time with it. He says, "If you truly want to make money, you've got to learn to let go of that pride that says you can do it quickly without following a step-by-step system." Take the time to learn what you need to learn.
At first he tried to do it patchwork-style. There is a ton of free information out there on how to build an internet business. Some of it is good. Some of it is horrible. If you try to assemble parts and pieces from a variety of sources, you're much more likely to end up with the Frankenstein version of a business rather than one that's sleek and profitable, one that actually makes enough money that you can quit your day job.
Teevee says he was constantly tempted to "invest" in the latest fad or "secret" to making millions online or take shortcuts. It's a common problem among budding internet marketers, and one he was warned about as he went through the Nitro Blueprint System. The problem with doing that is that before you know it, you're trying to execute ten different strategies at once. You're constantly jumping ship into the next promising no-fail tactic, and the end result is that you're unfocused and going nowhere.
Once he learned to focus on one thing at a time, and master it before adding something else, he got traction and started getting results.
He had too many ideas. This happens a lot to entrepreneurs — there's no shortage of ideas, and each one holds enough promise that it's easy to get derailed but hard to follow through until the point of completion. Teevee and his business partner Brad, when starting their first site, resolved to learn the system, to crack the code — before branching out into other niches. They learned how to build their systems, to put the idea together and then outsource it to get it built. Now, with the success of www.pumaskills.com to draw from, they can apply the same process to other ideas.
Teevee and Brad did something really smart — they worked together, and they followed a proven system. Teevee says they actually posted the roadmap poster included in the Nitro Blueprint System on the wall so they could visually mark where they were in the process.
Success didn't happen overnight. In fact, Teevee says he worked on their site for several months before they ever took money out of the business. But having that first check made the prior months worth it.
"As an entrepreneur, you have to be ready to work for free for a while — you don't just get a check, like when you punch a clock at a job," he says.
Between working 50 or more hours a week at his job it was a challenge to find time to invest in his online business. Maintaining the energy and momentum during the building process for a sustained time period was a challenge. But his persistence and the daily habits he learned with the Blueprint have paid off. By freeing himself from his day job, he'll have more time to devote to growing his current business, starting new projects to creating more income.
"If we did this much while I was still working at a job, with such limited time, just imagine what I'll be able to do now," Teevee says.
His plans for expansion also include teaching and training others, especially children. With the liberty his online business will provide, he hopes to work with a local community center to mentor high school kids.
Teevee's advice to other entrepreneurs about starting an online business:
When you find yourself getting off track, get back on where you left off.
Find someone to partner with, a mastermind group, or someone you can call to keep yourself accountable.
And don't forget to reward yourself along the way — acknowledge your successes and take time to relax rather than just constantly raising the bar for what you commit to accomplishing.
P.S.

THIRD, once we verified your purchase with Frank, you will receive an email with the "$30 Per Opt-In Sales Funnel" training as your mass control bonus.
BRAND NEW
One thing we are known for is pioneering the entire 1-click multiple upsell process several years ago. It was most recently made popular with the "Launch Tree" promotion in April of this year.
Anybody who talks about it now, either directly or indirectly learned it from us. Many people call Nitro the "Godfathers" of modern day upsell.
Last year we came out with an advanced training program called Nitro Quattro that sells for $997. One of the 10 modules was on upsells.
This month I'm giving all of our Quattro customers the 2009 Update to the upsell module. It shows exactly how we average a $448.56 average customer upsell value, just from our upsell funnel.
Most people are happy with a $50 customer value. People consider $100 a home run. Ours is $448.56 (10 times higher than most anybody else) because of some POWERFUL discoveries we have made from all of our testing and tracking.
For the first 10 people who get Mass Control from this link, not only will you receive our $30 Per Opt-In Bonus. I will also mail you a complete physical copy of our Nitro Quattro Home Study Course… and give you access to the updated for 2009 Upsell Module that shows you EXACTLY how we average $448.56 just in upsells from every front end customer.
This is the perfect compliment to Mass Control and can't wait to see how much cash it puts into your pocket the next few months.
3) We will give you our training program that is ONLY for our team here at Nitro, it's NOT for sale.
It shows you exactly how to duplicate our most successful sales funnel that averages $30.75 PER Opt-In!
And, the first 10 people will also receive our $997 Nitro Quattro Home Study Course… as well as the updated training showing you exactly how we average $448.56 in upsells per customer.
When I got started online, I did EVERYTHING myself.
Chief bottle washer, bottle cap counter and toilet bowl cleaner!
All my time was spent answering support questions, fixing broken links on my site, writing content, figuring out how to get a new opt-in form up at the site. And, if I was lucky, fit in a couple minutes to do some marketing so I actually made some money from all my busy-ness.
After awhile that got old, FAST.
And if I kept it up, I'd still be struggling today to make a few dollars while working my butt off 20 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It wasn't long before I began to outsource the activities I didn't like.
Automate the stuff that was repetitive.
And turned my business into a system that other people could run for me.
Now I get to spend my time doing the things I LOVE in my business while enjoying life to its fullest.
When should you start outsourcing, automating and systemizing your business?
DAY 1 (meaning TODAY)
If you start to develop this habit now, even if you are getting started, you will thank me BIG TIME over the coming months as years.
Especially when you look at the poor folks who read this and think "I'll do that later" and are miserable, struggling to make any money and become slaves to their business. While you outsourced all the junk you don't want to do anymore, automate all the mind-numbing activities that need to be done, and your business runs day-in-day-out like a well oiled machine.
It, quite frankly, is never too early to start outsourcing, automating and systemizing… if you know the right way to do it.
HOW To Make It Happen?
(OPTION 1) If you are an owner of our Nitro Blueprint System. Then you already have our "brain dead simple" training on this topic.
-or-
(OPTION 2) If you don't own either of those, but would love to get your hands on our "brain dead simple" training on "Outsourcing-Automating-Systemizing" your business…
…then do the following.
First, go to this page and take a trial of Rich Schefren's awesome "Cash Maps" program. Every single month he sends you a big envelope full of "process maps" for each area of your business.
This is your secret weapon to outsourcing and systemizing your business. Trust me, these rock, I've been a paying customer since August of last year just like you will become.
And, after you get it (there's no risk to check it out). Then, next, go here and submit a support ticket and include a copy of your receipt and we will give you our "brain dead simple" training on how to outsource, automate and systemize your business.
The monthly Cash Maps… or our super-simple training are awesome on their own. Then, when you combine the two of them, the synergy is off the charts. That's why I'm letting you have our training when you get Cash Maps today.
Its hard to convey emotion in words.
But if we were sitting across from each other, you would feel my pain and agony I had to go through to learn this lesson. And hear my conviction on the importance of taking action on this. And see my excitement and happiness I now have after figuring this out.
Hopefully something "clicked" with you and, instead of "doing it later," you're going to take action on this today. Your business, your family and your life will thank you!
Before 'PNM'…
As far as, picking my niche…I had made a long list but was unclear as to which one to use. Watching the webinar and buying Proven Niche Markets has taught me first of all, taking action is the only way that I will move forward in the direction that I will feel good about. Second, it absolutely helped me by doing the research for the niches I am interested and I have settled into one area that I will be working for 3 months straight. I feel so informed and inclined to take the action needed. Thank you so much for clearing up for the questions that were on my mind.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I felt stuck with a million ideas of interest and not going on to taking action. I felt that the purchase of Proven Niche Markets would give me the jump start that I needed to find my niche. I needed to breathe and relax and this purchase has done just that. My first impression was "Wow…this list is so impressive and I am ready to dive in and pick out the niche that I wanted to use."
My results with 'PNM'…
My "ah-ha" moment came to me after I listed about 6 choices of my favorite niches. I used the graph to calculate the scores and came up with my perfect niche. I was finally able to communicate with my husband about the niche I had chosen, how I had done it and most of all what were my next steps. This also helped me to share that "ah-ha" moment with him and we both are fired up!
I want to thank you for giving me the little push to move forward. I now feel my visions are stronger and I now feel again the confidence in myself that was so desperately need. Again, thanks so much!!!
Here's Greg Free's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I was utterly overwhelmed, asking myself what I 'love to do', that I could make money from. Cruising magazine racks at Barnes and Noble. Basically wasting valuable time.
Why buy 'PNM'… ROI, plain and simple. Your research method is sledgehammer logic. These markets are alive and kicking today, based on data from some names that have been hugely successful at what I want to do. I got 241 markets to work for $97.
My results with 'PNM'…
I have had time to open them both and skim through. I will go full-bore Saturday morning. I ranked my markets, got my top 10, brainstormed 2 review sites and found 1 affiliate program. Expertly put together, this is hand-holding with no hands. As for me, if I was one to make excuses, $97 just covered every excuse I could possibly make about not starting my business online.
I was very impressed. This is the first product I have purchased from Nitro and you have exceeded my expectations in presentation and content.
Here's Jimmy Paul's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I did not have a clear direction. I wish I had found your services before I had spent close to $ 2,000 with other marketers.
Why buy 'PNM'…
To get help with my search to find a market to cater to.
My results with 'PNM'…
Very satisfied. Like I said, I wish I had found you first. Discovering the range of markets. There are a lot of markets that I would not have guessed the public would be responsive to.
I feel, you have services that actually help those like me to get started.
Here's Andre Janisch's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I was in the process of figuring out what a good niche would be.
Why buy 'PNM'…
It seemed like a great shortcut to finding profitable niches.
My results with 'PNM'…
After looking at all the search terms PNM had supplied I realized there are nearly limitless options when it comes to creating a product.
I love the different comprehensive lists PNM supplies because it's packed with words that act as springboards to great products.
Here's Paula Miller's experience…
Before 'PNM'… I'm totally new to online business. I guess I'm like everyone else, not sure how to get started. Didn't have a clue about how to pick a niche.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I had that "ah hah" moment when I saw your webinar. Made me very curious to go to the website. Normally I just skip the sales page if it doesn't grab my attention in the first few paragraphs. Your page was different. The webinar kind of opened me up. These people had something to say. I actually read every word.
My results with 'PNM'…
At first I was a little disappointed. Let me explain. I went to look at the list first. I just thought well this is very helpful. N-O-T!!! I then decided I need to read the book or I'm going to return this package!!
Can I just say WOW!!!
I read the book!! It was like you guys just jumped into my head and knew what I was thinking. I stayed up all night. Just to devour all of the content. I can't even imagine the work that was involved to put this together. But I'll tell you what… I'm ready to jump in with both feet. Thank you so much. Now I can get started online! I wouldn't change a thing with Proven Niche Markets.
Here's Mickey Mixon's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
I had decided to select clickbank affiliate products, set up websites and drive traffic to them. I was able to set up several websites but traffic was light.
Why buy 'PNM'…
I did keyword search on the websites I set up but it was very time intensive. I saw the value in the Proven Niche Markets product immediately because it came with the niche's keywords.
My results with 'PNM'…
My first impression was, wow, I've got information for literally hundreds of websites. And websites that will be keyword rich, in prime niche markets.
Previously I had been doing the right things, but in the wrong markets. My websites were not as keyword optimized as they should have been. Now I know I have the right information, i.e the best niches and the correct keywords. My Ah-Ha moment came when I realized that regardless of the niches I picked, I couldn't go wrong because it was a winner!
I have decided to select several of the niches, and select an affiliate product in that niche, and do a product review website that describes the problem and how the product can fix the problem. I will use articles, press releases and social media/blogs to drive traffic.
Here's Joes Maria Rodriguez's experience…
Before 'PNM'…
Actually I'm just starting…and new to all of this.
Why buy 'PNM'…
It's a no brainier, why would anyone want to reinvent the wheel?! When I first heard about niche markets I was totally lost…where do I start? Thanks to you guys I now know.
My results with 'PNM'…
Wow! As you can probably see I saw the light. What impressed me the most is that I now know were to concentrate and target my efforts as a newbie. I've already identified several niche markets, thanks to your program.
The "ah-ha" moment was the realization that I can do this and achieved a lot more with your program "Proven Niche Markets" by piggyback on what's been proven…and not have to worry so much about how to figure out what keywords to use…since it's all part of the program.
It's a fantastic program! And I'm grateful for what I've learn so far about PNM before launching a website/blog…Its raised my confidence.
Once you've chosen a domain name for your website, the next step some people view as a big one…when really its very simple.
Getting website hosting.
As you can imagine, with more than 12 years of doing business online… I've had to
learn the ins and outs of making a good website hosting decision.
I'll give you a few tips, then make it really easy for you to make a good decision too.
Here is my "checklist" for hosting. Not having all of these items will almost always lead to frustration with your website hosting.
(Take it from me, don't learn these lessons the HARD way through bad experiences!)
–> They must have 24/7 phone, email and chat support. When you need help ASAP, you
don't want to wait for "business hours".
–> They need to use Cpanel. This is the simplest most reliable way we've seen to manage your account. Does thinks like setting up email accounts adding another domain and more.
–> They need to support Fantastico. This software makes installing complex programs like shopping carts, forums, image galleries and 50+ other programs as easy as pushing a button. (Instead of paying 50-dollars or more for somebody to install it for you.)
–> The company needs to be big enough they are not going to go out of business. (But not so big they can't provide excellent support.) That is a really bad day when you hosting company literally "disappears" in the middle of the night leaving you high and dry.
–> Finally, cost, there is no need to be paying 100-dollars a month for basic hosting when starting out. For 10 to 15 dollars a month you should get everything you need, including the ability to have as many websites hosted on your account as you want and your own IP address. Paying more than that is un-needed and paying less than that means the company is cutting corners on support and hardware.
With all that said, obviously we've done our homework and recommend a company that meets all of those criteria.
Here's some more helpful advice to make the right decision for you.
If I were you, I'd choose the 'Business' level hosting account for a couple of really important reasons.
– The most important of which is that with a 'Business' account, you get your very own IP. I'm not going to get all technical on what an IP address is.
What matters to you, with a shared IP (that the other plans come with), if one of the 300+ other customers on that IP does something wrong (like gets that IP 'blacklisted' from various email providers)EVERYBODY suffers with your emails (even emails you sent personally to somebody)not getting delivered. That really sucks.
With your very own IP, as long as you don't do anything wrong, your emails messages will get through just fine.
– The other important reason is you can host any number of websites on your account. Yep, want 100 sites, you still pay the same amount each month. Really cool deal. If you are like most everybody I know, you are not going to have just 1 site, you will have 2, 10, 20, even 100 or more over the coming months and years. This will save you a fortune!
Again, here's the link to get your domain and hosting set up now:
The best advice I’ve gotten in building a profitable business online or offline, is to find a market that already EXISTS, make sure people are already buying in it, and then offer them something similar to what they’re spending their money on… and make YOUR product BETTER.
If it’s a highly competitive market, or there are serious barriers to entry, reconsider.
If there are NO players in that market, the thinking will be that it’s a huge opportunity, and you’ll feel giddy as a school girl at the possibilities.
However, it’s a big red flag…
Chances are, there’s a reason why no one is competing in that market. It’s counter-intuitive thinking, but it makes sense! The false notion is that you have to create something new or something no one has ever thought of to go make millions with it. TV shows like “The Big Idea” feed into this misconception.
But statistically speaking, your chances of making it big with a brand new, fresh invention are close to 15%… VERY low.
Granted, the payoff is huge if you get lucky and offer something that people actually fall in love with and want to spend money on, but that’s rarely the case. You might as well go to Vegas.
Inventing something fresh is trying to create a brand new market that doesn’t already exist, which is extremely difficult to do. That’s why the Thomas Edisons and the Henry Fords of the world are rare.
If there’s a market niche that already exists with only a handful of competitors, the barriers to entry are low, and the competitors are making a lot of money… bingo. You got yourself a potentially big opportunity in front of you.
It’s also counter-intuitive to think about what people in any market are already asking for. What’s coming up in people’s conversations? What are they already frustrated with? What are they buying and using right now that’s satisfying them, but is lacking something that could satisfy them MORE?
Fill a gap that’s already there. Don’t try to create one.

As an online marketer you’ve probably heard the phrase “The Money is in the List” – it’s absolutely true. It’s not uncommon for your customers to not buy from you the first time they land on your site.
Most people think about things and have to be contacted at least several times before they make the decision to buy. By building a list of targeted prospects, you’re greatly improving your chances of affiliate sales.
Once you have a database of subscribers established, your list will be like gold to you. Imagine the ability to send an email to a few hundred or thousand people with a product promotion and then watching your sales come in… this is what a targeted list of subscribers can do for you.
However, it’s not just about building a list; you also need to take the time to establish a relationship with that list. If you never email your list and out of the blue send them a promotion email the chances are you’ll have more “unsubscribes” from your list than sales.
To build a good relationship and rapport with your list will take a little time but it is so worth it once you get the balance right. Try sending out an email at least once a week (any longer and they may forget who you are). In your emails try to achieve balance between promotions and providing information.
You don’t need to promote a product with every mailing. Give value to your list, valuable tips, valuable information, case studies, and other tips to help them; once you do this your list will grow to trust you and will gladly purchase items through you because they feel like you have taken the time to establish a relationship with them.
Now you know why you should build a list, but how do you start building? Here are a few tips:
Create a free special report, eCourse or eBook to give away in return for your visitors signing up to the list.
Create a separate page for your newsletter subscribers. In a time of increasing SPAM, it’s getting harder and harder to get people to give you their email addresses. Even if you’re giving something away for free, you’ll still need to sell that “free gift”. Build a simple opt in page which clearly explains the benefits of subscribing to your list.
Promote your mailing list through articles. Write and distribute articles to the online article directories and in your author bio, include a link back to your newsletter page. If you write good quality articles, you’re increasing the chances that person will want to click over and learn more.
Those are just a few tips for helping you start building your list. No matter which way you go about it, having a list of targeted customers is a great way to build your affiliate marketing business.
