STEPS TO SUCCEED 2

In continuation from the previous blog on this topic, I would like to say am richly aware that millions of blogs out there have written on this issue and they've said so many things about it. The problem is actually simplifying these steps as much as possible so that success doesn't seemingly look like a major milestone. That simplicity in achieving success, guys,is my main aim as I write these humble words. Well enough of the introductory speech (before I bore you to sleep.)

1.   START NOW

"The secret of  getting ahead is getting started."

Mark Twain didn't mince words when he made the above statement. Currently you have just thought out a plan for that business which you believe will work out, that vision that will catapult you to greater heights, that house to be built, that car to buy, that goal to be fulfilled within a deadline, then what are you waiting for, start now and make plans for it actualization. Each time wasted keeps the clock ticking away( and your grey hair keeps growing inch by inch!), your passion fades away gradually; before you realize, you've added another item to your regret database.



2.  BE READY                                                     
                                                                                      
"Be ready when opportunity comes. Luck is when preparation meets opprtunity"..........so said Roy Chapin Jr., former chairman and CEO of American Motors Corporation (AMC). Little wonder he successfully turned the company from the usual phrase 'a dying company' associated with it, to one of the most successful automobile companies in America. This later earned him a place in the Automotive Hall Of Fame.
     In your ladder to the top, you have to take advantage of any opportunity to learn a new skill( maybe a course of study) wherever you find that opportunity, cause they may come in handy at the right time and place. You have got to build up you skills and intellectual reservoir to the point of been a professional when it comes to that skill. Don't only be restricted to your career (which you probably studied in school); study further, get more certificates, build up your information database, be thoroughly educated, develop yourself cause the truth is life is uncertain. So may end up doing and living off that skill you acquired and not your academic career. Always be ready for eventualities by taking hold of learning opportunities.



3.  SELF CONFIDENCE

 Like the famous Obama campaign slogan "Yes We Can..", you truly can do whatever you set out to do only if you believe in your self and your capabilities. Let go off that low self esteem and see your self as a great person; don't let the words of seemingly ignorant people force you into looking down on yourself cause the truth is; you can do and be whoever you aspire to be. Develop self confidence in yourself and your abilities and see your self soar higher than ever.




4.  HUNT FOR GOOD MENTORS

To succeed in life, we all need a shoulder to support us both with lifetime advice that will build us up and to scold us when we start trailing the wrong path. You must be careful to select the right mentor that has succeeded in the same or a related field to your field of study. The importance of guidance to your much desired success cannot be over-emphasized. You avoid those significant pitfalls on your way to the top. With a good mentor by your side, your way to success is secured.







5.  ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOD FACTOR

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart.......in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path." (Prov. 3:5)

In your steady progression to the top, be careful not be forget God people. For only with His leading are we certain that true success is guaranteed. Let His laws be your guiding principles and learn to meditate on his Word everyday. By doing this constantly, you are building up your heart and mind for success. If this last step is taken, all the other steps above is ensured and the sky will only end up being your stepping stone. See you at the top.

Do you know that money can be made through facebook?

                         

 Here's a quick one everybody!!!
 You probably didn't believe it but its real! If you are a facebook user or have been around social networking sites for a while, you probably have heard that. But, is it really possible to make money with facebook? How would you go about making money on facebook?

Well, thanks to some very useful and user friendly applications, today money can be made with facebook and am sure everyone or almost everyone (cause my grandma doesn't) has a facebook account.Of course like other methods of making money online, it takes hard work and persistence to be able to make a decent amount of money on facebook. Although these applications make it very easy to get on the path of making money with face book, its the strategy and a well thought out plan, combined with persistence and hard work, that ultimately factors in your success or failure in making money with facebook. Here are some applications you can use to make money on facebook.

1. Do you know about an app called zazzle? Well, zazzle allows you to create and design any product on their site(which is free) and sell them on your face book. Think about the potential buyer base for customized t-shirts and hats and etc, specially if you have a lot of facebook friends. You can also sell product created by other artists and earn a commission on those. So, even if you don’t want to deal with designing, you have a way to make money on face book using zazzle.

2. Cafe Press It’s the same idea as zazzle, but with a much bigger and well known online store. Cafepress lets you easily sell any product from anti Obama Shirts to pro Obama Shirts, on your facebook and make money, whether it was created by you or someone else.

3. Ether Ether is a website that you can make money on by giving advice to people over the phone or by chatting. But now, you can use their new application on facebook to make money while giving advice to people over the phone. If you’re good at giving advice, this may be the way for you to make some extra money on facebook. Also if you know a second language, this app makes it easy to teach others and make money. You set the rates and Ether provides a number that individuals can call. The call will then be forwarded to your personal telephone number.

 

4. Radical Buy This is almost like a facebook made ebay. You can sell anything on your facebook page using this unique app. List an item and have it visible to all facebook users instantly. Now, the cool think is that you can offer commission to others who will sell your items on their facebook page, allowing you to reach more potential buyers. Of course that means, even if you don’t have any item for sale, you can show other peoples item on your facebook page and make money with the commission you get for selling there stuff.

 5. Music Blaster With MusicBlaster you can put a simple little music store on your facebook, and sell music from BlastMyMusic.com. You earn 5% for each song sold. The cool think about this app is the fact that you can help your favorite band or singer to sell their music while you make money, as well as helping them to gain more exposure.

6. Garage Sale The name says it all, its the good old Garage Sale, but a “facebooky” Garage Sale. Simply add Garage Sale to your profile page and list every thing you want to sell. When someone buys something, Garage Sale automatically bills the buyer’s credit card and lets you when to ship the item. Your money is deposited directly into your Pay Pal account, or you can request payment by check. However they charge a 5% commission on the total sales price, but that’s all. No other fee for setup or anything like that.

7. Shopit Shopit is a free Social Commerce Network that gives users the ability to buy, sell or trade any product or service. Simply add a free store to your facebook and sell anything you like. Another easy way to make money on facebook.

8. FlameTunes FT was founded in 2007 by an Iranian-American named Nima Khakpour. This app is more for the artists to sell their music. So, if you are an artist, FlameTunes enables you to sell your music on your facebook. You can also use it to sell music on myspace.

9. Lemonade Remember when you setup your first lemonade stand in your community? Well, this app allows you to use the same concept, combining commerce and community, and have a lemonade stand in a digital (facebook) neighborhood. Basically you add what you want to sell to a lemonade stand, and put it on your Facebook. It’s free and easy.

10. Ebay Who knew that was coming? Yep, you guessed it. Now you can have your ebay on facebook. This application allows you to add eBay auction listings to your Profile. Sell things to your facebook friends from crafts, jewelry to diary pages, undies and dinner dates or just whatever you’re selling on eBay! You also have the option to add a charity auction that you support, on your facebook profile. I think it’s a very smart way to combine eBay and facebook, and you don’t even need an eBay Account!

 So here you go...10 ways of making money via facebook.
