SkyQuestCom's Success Blog: Learn How to Start an Internet Business with Ewen Chia
Ewen Chia is widely known as the “World’s #1 Super Affiliate” and his name is synonymous with internet affiliate marketing. He has taught thousands of students worldwide how to make a full-time income purely from the Internet. In this article, Ewen shares powerful tips to help you start your very own online business.First things to learn on the Internet
With any new skill, especially on the Internet, the biggest obstacle ordinary people just like you face is the technical aspect. One of the greatest lies ever told about starting online businesses is that you need to be a programmer, or web designer to make money on the Internet.
Truth is, you only need basic skills such as registering a domain name, creating simple webpages and getting them online. Moreover, there are many affordable courses and programmes conveniently available now to teach you how to use a PC and short-cut your learning processes. There has never been a better time in history than now to kick start your very own Internet business.
As you stare at the computer screen, remember your F.A.C.E
The secret to achieving your dreams of online success lies in 4 basic elements. These 4 elements are summarised into what Ewen calls the F.A.C.E formula.
FOCUS
The first element is called Focus. In order to do anything well, you must have focus. The problem is that we become overloaded with too much information and get stuck with too many dreams that we become uncertain of what to do. So it is important to focus on a specific thing. Once you’ve indentified exactly what you want to do, you have to focus on that.
ACTION
“A” is Action. Without focus, you can’t achieve anything. But without the action to implement the focus, you cannot get any results. And consider the Universal Law as proven by Sir Isaac Newton more than 3 centuries ago; with action, comes reaction, with every cause, there is an effect.
So each time you put action onto your focus, you will get results. It is a Universal Law.
COMMITMENT
“C” is commitment. As we get busier with daily tasks and are bombarded with too much information, commitment becomes a problem in 9 out of every 10 people. As such, with focus and action, you need to commit 100% to achieve your goals.
EDUCATION
If you want to advance yourself and improve on what you’ve learnt, then you need to educate yourself constantly. Education is an ongoing process, it doesn’t stop for as long as you live. There are new subjects and knowledge to learn everyday. The world’s your oyster and it’s up to you to keep educating yourself to improve skills you want to achieve.
Competition heats up, a powerful formula is not enough
As are all businesses, an Internet business is real. For the uninitiated, running an online business becomes nothing more than a fruitless hobby if proper systems are not set in place. To achieve the results and success you want in the heat of competition as young as 6 (Type ‘Marina Mulac’ in Google to see what this kid is doing) and savvy marketers, you need to apply a proven system to your market and combine it with the F.A.C.E formula. A system should be broken down into 5 components. These components are based on universal marketing principles that apply to whichever business you wish to do.
Component # 1: Market
The first component is your Market. You need to identify a hot and profitable market; one that has disposable income. An example would be a market you have personal passion for. This becomes your “affinity market”. The best markets to look into would be your hobbies. For example, if you love Golf, then that becomes your affinity market.
Component #2: Offer
The second component is your Offer. When you have a market, it doesn’t mean you’re in business; you need to provide an offer to your market. If you don’t, then you’re in not business and you can forget about making money online.
For example, if you venture into the Golf market, then your offer could be a Golf e-book. You may want to market a simple Golf e-book that teaches enthusiasts and novices how to play Golf.
Component #3: Traffic
The third component is your Traffic. You need people to visit your offer. If you don’t have traffic, you don’t have a business. And there is no way to have a transaction on the market without people and customers, so you need to send traffic to your system.
Once you have an offer, you need to send people (lots of them) who are interested in your product to your website that provides valuable information. The most successful internet entrepreneurs usually offer free information as a start. If your readers find that information useful, they can visit a section on your website to purchase an e-book.
Component #4: The Backend
The fourth component is the backend (for the uninitiated, we’re not talking about the rear end of the human anatomy). In business, you don’t get rich from the front end. In other words, if you sell a $30 product, you’re not going to become a millionaire! The trick, that many successful entrepreneurs effectively use, is to set up a backend system. The concept of such a system is simple. After your customers make a $30 dollar purchase, you upsell or “upgrade” them to a higher-end purchase or higher-priced item.
For example, when somebody buys a $30 e-book, you could upgrade their purchase to a $300 DVD set or even a $3,000 personal coaching programme. And this is how you increase your income, this is how you generate multiple streams of income in any business.
It’s all at the rear.
Component #5: Duplication
The last component is Duplication. And this is the “magic key” to unlock your ability to duplicate your business and replicate an existing system to as many markets as you wish. For example, if you become successful in the Golf business and you want to start a new business in Cartoons, what you do is duplicate your existing system in the cartoon business.
You’re not going to “make a killing” selling a $30 e-book
But…
There are 2 actions you can take immediately to apply these principles to kick start your online business.
First, resolve today that you will be pro-active. Instead of worrying about something such as the lack of technical expertise or whether you’d be successful or not, take action to start somewhere. It could be creating a blog (you can easily create one for free at Blogger.com) or website that offers free information people might be interested in. You could even do a simple market research on Google or Yahoo to see what people are looking for online, and think about how you can create a useful product to fulfill their needs.
Second, focus your talents and energy single mindedly on the one thing that you can do that can make a greater difference than anything else. Resolve to develop the habit of single minded concentration until it is as natural to you as breathing. If research tells you it’s viable to do a business about Pets, then place focused, concentrated effort to achieve your goals in that market.
Do not divert. Keep moving forward, work smart, but still work hard and you will get ahead!

SkyQuestCom's Success Blog: In Conversation with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett on Success
SkyQuestCom Exclusive: Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are 2 of the most outstanding business leaders of our time. Together, they share their personal experiences in an extraordinary conversation about success.
From the cover pages of Forbes to headline making news of Fortune Magazine, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have become famous for gracing every business publication you can possibly imagine. Microsoft boss Bill Gates is often credited with the creation of the PC industry while legendary Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett is the “World’s 2nd Richest Person” as ranked by Forbes. Gates and Buffett have different backgrounds, but they agree on one thing: You’ve got to enjoy what you’re doing to be able to see success.
In 2006, the two stood before business students at the University of Washington to share their personal philosophies about success.
(The following conversation is an excerpt of SkyQuestCom's Master Channel January Highlight)
How do you define success personally?
WARREN: Well, I can certainly define happiness. Because that’s what I am. (Audience laugh) I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year and I get to do it with the people I like. I don't have to associate with someone who causes my stomach to churn. (Audience laugh) And the only thing in my job I don't like, and it only happens in about 3 or 4 years, is that occasionally I have to fire somebody. I don't like that. It is the only thing, other than that, I tap dance to work.
And I get down there, I think I am supposed to lie on my back and paint the ceiling, that’s the way I feel! It's tremendous fun. They say success is getting what you want and happiness wanting what you get. Well, I don't know which one applies in this case but I do know I wouldn't be doing anything else. I do advise you to go work for an organisation you admire, with people you admire, because it will turn you on and you ought to be happy at where you are working.
I always worry about people who say, “I’m going to do this for 10 years, even though I don't like it very well but I will do 10 more years of this.” I mean that's little like saving up sex for your old age. (Audience laugh hard) It’s not a very good idea, so get right into what you enjoy and you will be successful at it! (Audience laugh hard) You really will, you wouldn't be able to miss.
I don't regard what I do is the most important thing in the world but it's right for me. I happen to be wired in a certain way in that what I do works in this. It lasts about 10 minutes and that's true for a lot of things. But luckily I kind of stumbled on the thing I do best and it's worked out.
BILL: I find that the key point is that you’ve got to enjoy what you do everyday. For me, that's working with very smart people. It's working on new problems. You know every time we think, “Hey we have a little bit of success”, we are pretty careful not to dwell on it too much because the bar gets raised, as do people's expectations of the products. We always get customer feedback telling us that machines are too complicated, they are not natural enough.
And the competition, the breakthroughs, the research, make the field I'm in, which I think is the most exciting field there is. There's another good field- biotechnology is a good field because it is changing the world of medicine and health. But the computer industry, in particular software, I think is the most exciting. I think I have the best job in that business.
WARREN: (Quips jokingly) Don’t you think Dairy Queen is more important? (Audience laugh)
BILL : You can manage Dairy Queen. I'll go and buy the Dilly bars.
WARREN : I'm counting on it. We'll raise the price when you come. (Audience laugh and clap)
BILL : (Replies jokingly) Ok.
WARREN: I have turned down business deals that were otherwise decent deals because I don't want to deal with people I don't like to work with. I didn't see any sense pretending it and to take it on, to get involved with people who cause your stomach to churn. I say it’s a lot like marrying for money. It's probably a bad idea under any circumstances but it's absolutely crazy if you're already rich, right?

SkyQuestCom's Success Blog: Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
According to John Gray, author of the famous relationship guide Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, the similarities between men and women are far greater than the differences.
His approach is to identify the differences that exist for many people. They don't show up for everybody but they show up for many people . When that happens, John prefers a positive method of interpreting them so that the people involved don't feel threatened by them.
He believes that there is an inherent gender difference that is born into everyone. He calls it "a function of testosterone", which can be measured in people's physiology. The bottom line is that this is what humans are born into- muscles and testosterone that go together and testosterone goes together with a whole set of attitudes. It also goes together with a whole set of stress reactions and determines how people cope with stress.
John explains that the basic bottom line of relationships is that people deal with conflict and stress differently. For example, women have different hormones that affect their experience of stress, their experience of intimacy, and their experience of purpose in life.
Emotional Differences Between Men and Women
The main difference between men and women is that women explore issues in greater detail before forming an opinion. Men form opinions immediately and therefore women assume men are narrow-minded or rigid, when in actual fact, they're not. John also explains that they'll form an opinion very quickly but also be able to quickly change that opinion if given new information. So that's another way men and women process information differently.
Men tend to make snap judgments and they'll change them just as quickly. In comparison, a woman tend to take a longer time to form her opinion and once it's formed, it tends to be more rigid, more stable and based upon a lot more information. So a man might be thinking in his marriage, "I want a divorce." And the next day he will change his mind. But when a woman says she wants a divorce, it's generally based on years of build-up and usually she won't change her mind right away.
How to Deal With Conflicts
When in conflict, John suggests to solve the problem and avoid it in the future. What women want is someone who will empathize with her point of view, trusting and respecting that she can it through on her own. This creates lots of problems. The same principle applies for men. They are going to have to learn a lot of things on their own and if women keep telling them what to do. Men will just resist hearing that message.
This is where conflicts often develop, says John. Men tend to be overly analytical in trying to solve problems and women tend to offer unsolicited advice to men. What both have to do is to have a greater respect for each other to be able to listen to each other.
How to Enjoy Freedom While Being in a Relationship
John advocates the need to have separate time even when one is in a happy, committed relationship. Otherwise, a relationship won't be healthy. He stresses that men need time to be with their make friends, shooting pool or going to the movies or doing what they like to do. That is very healthy and if they don't do it, it will threaten their romantic relationship with their female partners. Women have to realize that. If women want their male partners to be passionately attracted to them, they need to let the men pull away. This will stimulate their testosterone, thereby missing their female partners. And this, John says, is the key to bring good energy back to a relationship.

John explains that the basic bottom line of relationships is that people deal with conflict and stress differently. For example, women have different hormones that affect their experience of stress, their experience of intimacy, and their experience of purpose in life.
Emotional Differences Between Men and Women
The main difference between men and women is that women explore issues in greater detail before forming an opinion. Men form opinions immediately and therefore women assume men are narrow-minded or rigid, when in actual fact, they're not. John also explains that they'll form an opinion very quickly but also be able to quickly change that opinion if given new information. So that's another way men and women process information differently.
Men tend to make snap judgments and they'll change them just as quickly. In comparison, a woman tend to take a longer time to form her opinion and once it's formed, it tends to be more rigid, more stable and based upon a lot more information. So a man might be thinking in his marriage, "I want a divorce." And the next day he will change his mind. But when a woman says she wants a divorce, it's generally based on years of build-up and usually she won't change her mind right away.
How to Deal With Conflicts
When in conflict, John suggests to solve the problem and avoid it in the future. What women want is someone who will empathize with her point of view, trusting and respecting that she can it through on her own. This creates lots of problems. The same principle applies for men. They are going to have to learn a lot of things on their own and if women keep telling them what to do. Men will just resist hearing that message.
This is where conflicts often develop, says John. Men tend to be overly analytical in trying to solve problems and women tend to offer unsolicited advice to men. What both have to do is to have a greater respect for each other to be able to listen to each other.
How to Enjoy Freedom While Being in a Relationship
John advocates the need to have separate time even when one is in a happy, committed relationship. Otherwise, a relationship won't be healthy. He stresses that men need time to be with their make friends, shooting pool or going to the movies or doing what they like to do. That is very healthy and if they don't do it, it will threaten their romantic relationship with their female partners. Women have to realize that. If women want their male partners to be passionately attracted to them, they need to let the men pull away. This will stimulate their testosterone, thereby missing their female partners. And this, John says, is the key to bring good energy back to a relationship.
