Check This Video About the Importance of Having Your Own Business

Hi George,

Daniel here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.

Today I want to give you a heads up about a business program that
you might not have heard of. It's called MTTB (My Top Tier Business),
and it's a 21-step training program that aims to teach you how to
do affiliate marketing.

You'll get all the details by signing up with your email address, but
before deciding whether or not the program is right for you, do
check the video that they make available once you signup. It's quite
an interesting one, where the program creator talks about the difference
between rich and poor people, and about the characteristics that the
rich ones share.

For instance, you will learn why having your own business is the
best thing you can do if you want to make more money, and how you can
build a business even if you don't have a lot of experience of money
laying around.

Here's the link where you can signup to watch the video:

They are even offering a $500 guarantee if you don't make your first
comission within 30 days, so check it out.

Talk to you soon,
Daniel

Don't Neglect Personal Marketing

Hi George,

Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.

As soon as I founded my own company (around 10 years ago), I figured that I wouldn't need to do any personal marketing. That is, I figured that if things went well, I wouldn't need to look for a job ever again, so spending time growing my network of contacts and marketing my own personal brand wouldn't be necessary. All I had to do was to focus on growing my business.

Well, I was wrong!

Even if you have your own company or if you work for yourself, having a strong personal brand will always help. For instance, I am now focusing on the development of mobile apps, and once one of those apps gain traction I will need to look for outside investors. Guess what, my personal brand will affect the way those investors see me and their willingness to invest money on my project.

In fact I heard many venture capitalists argue that when they make an investment, they are mainly investing in the founders, and not in the product itself. That is because the product or business model can always be changed or adapted, but if the founders don't have the necessary skills and attitudes, then no product will save the company.

And the impact of your personal brand go far beyond that. It affects pretty much everything you do professionally: the jobs that will be offered to you, the people who will hire you as a consultant, the people who will approach you for collaborations and partnerships, the people who will be willing to buy from your company, and so on.

If you are not spending time on personal marketing yet, well, you better start!

Practically speaking, there are several things you can do to improve your personal brand. The first and most obvious one is to get more active on social media sites. Create a profile on the largest ones (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and start publishing some high quality content there. In fact if you are not connected with me on Facebook yet, please do so:

Second, make sure you have a personal website/blog, preferably using your name. This site will serve many purposes: it will be a hub where you can display all your projects, it will work as a dynamic resume, and it will allow you to build your brand as an expect in whatever niche you work on.

I started working on mine only recently, but you can already see the direction I am taking it. Here's the link:

There you will also find links to my other social media accounts.

Finally, another advantage of building your personal brand via social media sites and by having your own personal website is that you will control the Google search results for your name. That is, whenever someone searches for your name, most of if not all the results will be controlled by yourself, meaning that you can control the image that those people will get from you.

Bottom line: you need to spend some time on your personal marketing!

Talk to you soon,
Daniel Scocco
