Yesterday I made my first post talking about the new business model I was creating and got some awesome feedback. You can see that post at imtruth.com/im-truth-newsletter/the-new-biz-post-1

I got from a reader that was complaining that I could do this (meaning build a business from scratch) super easy because I already had all the skills, and a list, and on and on and on.

So today, I’m going to back up a step, and tell you what it takes to build a business, and then we’ll continue on with what I am doing….

So first off, I know Internet marketing inside and out. How? Years of buying every product I could get my hands on, reading and using those products, and putting what I learned into use.

You do have to invest. No money to invest? Then I suggest you read “Six Figure Freelancer”. ( www.ThisKicksButt.com/6FigureFreelancer ) For $37 it will show you how to make extra cash doing odd jobs for people who really need them.

Like for instance www.Guru.com It’s a freelance sites that allows people who need some kind of computer job done (web design, graphics, articles, and a crap load of other tasks) to post the job and then freelancers come and bid on those jobs.

It’s a great way to make extra money, and if you have no money to invest in your business, this is a great way to get started. I did it from the time I was 15 till I was 18. I built websites for people as a freelancer.

Great way to get some extra cash comin in.

Okay, so the first rule is you have to educate the crap out of yourself on everything about marketing and whatever your niche is. I kill two birds with one stone because my niche is marketing.

Okay, so there’s where I got all my knowledge. I’m no super genius, and I didn’t go to college for this stuff.

Next, I implemented what I learned.

I learned that I needed a list of subscribers. Now I have a list of buyers which is much better, but one thing at a time. By having a list I can send out emails whenever I want and make money.

No hype. Just a fact….

So your first step when building your business is to build a list. I personally don’t know of any all in one list building course. I plan on developing one very soon at www.ListBuildingNewbieVideos.com

Until then I recommend that you at least learn to get a squeeze page up. My friend Erik Stafford has an awesome product that will teach you to do that via easy to follow videos at www.ThisKicksButt.com/FasterWebmaster

Basically all list building is simply….

1. Building a nice looking squeeze page (Example: IMTruth.com)
2. Driving traffic to that page

You got to learn 1 and 2 to be able build a list. It’s that simple.

Basically you can get all the technical knowledge you need from Erik’s Faster Webmaster product, and my www.ResellRightsForNewbies.com (which is totally free). You’ll get different information from both sites about all kinds of technical aspects of running your business.

Okay so I got my marketing knowledge from constantly reading and using the marketing information products, my technical skills I learned online. What else?

A mentor…

You’ve got to find one person, latch on to them and follow them. Mine was Jimmy D. Brown. He’s got a butt load of amazing products, and has hands down taught me more than any marketer online!

Side Note: If you want to suck some great information out of Jimmy’s brain on the cheap, then I highly recommend that you head over to www.TheBestOfJimmyDBrown.com right now. You can download totally kickbutt reports (on several marketing topics) from him for a very small fee.

These three things…

1. Knowledge
2. Technical skills
3. A GOOD mentor

Will get you to the level of success that I have achieved.

Okay, so no more whinning. I’ve told you guys how to do it. Go do it!

From here on out, I’m just going to be showing you how to build a business from scratch. You’re armed with what I know, so there’s no reason you can’t do it too!

To your success!

Now I’ve talked and talked about this new business I’m going to be creating….

First off, I’m not going out of business. However, I am selling off all of my products and sites, and starting totally over. I will be keeping a few sites like…

www.MyOriginalEproducts.com
www.ProfitQuickies.com
www.LessonsWithLiz.com
www.MyAdsenseHelper.com
www.GivingItAll.com
www.WeCreateYourBusiness.com
www.TrainYourAffiliates.com

There might be a few more, but everything else is either getting sold or going into the trash.

Why? Because to truly help people I’ve got to “trim the fat” from my business. I’ve got to be able to focus on just one thing to be able to help as many people as possible.

With too many things going on, I can’t do what my real passion is which is helping people.

So, with that said, I am getting rid of everything, and starting over from scratch. I will be starting Tomey-Bing Marketing and everything from here on out will be under that business. My husband Jamie Bing will be having a bigger hand in the business, so I’m bringing him into it too. Most of you guys know him, and he’s AWESOME to deal with.

So, what are my first steps and why?

First, we will be starting a new blog over at TomeyBingMarketing.com There’s nothing there right now, so don’t go rushing off to check it out.

Why a blog?

Well, a blog does so many things for you and it’s where I recommend everyone start.

A blog has many ways it can drive traffic to your other sites, it can help you build a relationship on autopilot with your readers, and so much more.

So we are starting the blog, giving killer content on it, so my readers will see that I am an expert in my field, and they will love me because of the killer content I will be giving.

My blog will build relationships, create a strong following, and allow me to drive traffic to my other sites…

So the first step in this new business is creating a blog and filling it with killer content!

If you’re following a long with me and want to start building your first blog, I have a tutorial at tomeymarketing.com/how-to-install-a-blog

It will show you how to get a blog setup on your own domain name, pick out a theme for it, and get it all setup the way it needs to be.

Okay, that’s it for today. The next time we talk, I’ll be telling you what kind of content I will be putting on the blog and why…

To your success!

I have made a blog post about the future of Tomey Marketing, and what we’re going to be doing for you. This is very important so make sure you take a good read.

You can see it at imtruth.com/im-truth-newsletter/whats-happening

Now the second thing is for the last few weeks we have had a big time melt down over at the help desk. Tickets disappearing, tickets getting closed with no replies, I mean all kinds of stuff. We finally got to the bottom of it and all it working right now.

If you have tried to contact me, and haven’t gotten any answer please go to www.LizLive.com now and submit another ticket. We’ll get you taken care of within 24 hours.

Okay, that’s it for now… I’ve got some big time email to catch up on, and a PLR offer to get out to you guys, so stay tuned. The wheels are finally rolling again.

Hey everyone… Well it’s been quite a while, and I just wanted to give everyone an update to what’s going on.

It’s official. I am totally changing my business model. Don’t freak out though. I’m not going anywhere. I’m still going to be pumping out information to you guys. Even more so than before. On April 21st I made this post… imtruth.com/im-truth-newsletter/help-me-to-help-you

I asked you guys what you wanted, and I got a ton of comments. Thank you very much! It really opened my eyes to what you guys are needing, and I’m changing everything to give it to you!

So, I will be selling all of my products off, deleting my list (more on that in a minute), and totally focusing on coaching.

I’m way to spread out right now, and the only way for me to help you more is to backup, regroup, and make a new plan. There are times in life when you have to do this type of thing, and right now that time is now and within my business.

So, as I said, I will be selling off all of my products. I will be selling off all of my domain names except for a few.

Now sites like….

LessonsWithLiz.com
MyOriginalEProducts.com
ProfitQuickies.com
MyAdsenseHelper.com

These will be the only sites I’m keeping along with a few others. I’ve made a commitment on them, and as soon as things are running back smoothly, I will be ramping them up again. Within the next 1-2 weeks for sure.

After all products and sites are sold, I will be deleting my list. Yep, you heard me right. I’ve got to be able to walk the walk since I talk the talk, and I will be building a new list from scratch. Everyone on this list will have the chance to get on the new list, so don’t worry. You’ll also be able to follow along as I build my new list and find out how to successfully build your own!

There is a lot in store for you from Tomey Marketing, and I really appreciate all of you who have stood behind us and supported my cause over the last few years. I will be back and going strong within 1-2 weeks, so stay tuned because you’ll love the new and improved Tomey Marketing!

Okay guys, I have posted another coaching casestudy here. This one is for a coaching client named Laura. Laura is a webdesigner and is wanting to make money teaching several people to build profitable websites instead of building them for a few people.

It’s exactly what I did. I used to be a web designer too, but you can make a lot more money teaching than doing it for people in most cases.

Laura, has a good grasp of things, but she is worried about competition mainly and what to teach people.

In this casestudy, I’ll show you Laura’s business model and walk you through how you can be doing the same thing.

Check out the video at www.tomeymarketing.com/coaching/laura1

I’d love to hear your feedback on this, or if you have any questions. Just leave your comments below…

Liz
