Retirement Plans Being Jeopardized? Need to Increase Your Retirement Monies?
by admin on Oct.19, 2009, under General
Risks to Your Retirement Income
Assuming you’re part of the Baby Boomer Generation, you’re likely giving serious thought to retiring – if you haven’t already retired. And if you have previously left work, you may be evaluating if you’re going to be able to remain retired.
Today’s economic crisis aggravates the retirement question considerably by compounding the following retirement related risks:
1. Life Expectancy Has Increased
Today, life expectancies are longer than their parents’ generation. For example, in 1970, a 60-year old white male had a life expectancy of an additional 16.2 years; however, by 2008, his life expectancy had expanded to twenty years.
So how is the Baby Boomer going be able to afford to pay for those additional 3.8 years? Following are several possible solutions:
> Expedite pre-retirement nest egg building
> Work longer
> Move in with family members
> Accept quality of life
2. Rising Health Care Costs
Predicting and planning for ways to cover one’s health care costs are some of the most difficult financial planning tasks, largely because medical costs are so individualistic, with needs varying greatly from one person to another. Long-term care needs are even more difficult to predict and arrange adequate funding.
Health care costs have grown more than 5% (inflation adjusted) for the past 15 years – and that is greater than the increase in family income. Medicare costs will probably rise as well at similar rates.
3. Legislation May Affect Retirement Income & Supplemental Programs
It has been widely reported that the expenses associated with the major entitlement programs (e.g., Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) are growing more rapidly than other sectors of the economy, and some experts challenge their long-term viability because of the cumulative effects of increased life expectancy, size of the retiring population, and increasing health care expenses in general.
Moreover, immediate questions concerning continued health insurance during retirement, and at what financial levels, are rampant in today’s economy – and these questions are given even more fuel by the reorganizations occurring, especially among the auto industry.
We are still witnessing much discussion concerning a national health care program – but such discussions have been active for decades, with few results to show for those efforts. Although President Obama will be leading such efforts this year, most people anticipate a lot of opposition from Congress.
Most people think that seniors over age 55 will be exempted from cuts in these entitlement programs, but providing complete coverage for them is a two-edged sword – doing so increases the likelihood of a new value-added tax, which would likely add to retirement tax burdens.
4. Sometimes One’s Retirement Date is Dictated, and not a Free Choice
According to a 2004 Health and Retirement Survey (HRS), 37% are forced to retire due to feeble health or downsizings, etc.
5. 401Ks Became 201Ks
Did your retirement savings (including your 401k) take a major hit with the stock market meltdown in 2008? My investments were deeply affected. Many people saw their 401k and other stock market accounts take a 50% hit, which has led many comedians to rename them “201k”. For many people, their 401k was the bulk of their retirement savings, so this stock market meltdown substantially damaged their retirement plans.
Humpty Dumpty Was Not a Retirement Expert
Some of the news is good news. You can fix a broken “nest egg”.
You can work an extra year or two, take a part-time job or work from home to supplement your earnings, start your own business, etc.
If you’d like to start an online business, but are hesitant because you’re not an internet expert, a excellent place to start for gathering all the education about internet marketing that you will need to be successful is to sign up for the Online Success for Beginners classes.
A study by Butrica, Smith and Steuerle (2006) indicated that working just one (1) extra year can improve annual retirement income by 9%, while working just five (5) extra years can generate an additional 56% annual retirement income.

5 Considerations of the 80/20 Rule for Online Businesses
by admin on Sep.06, 2009, under General
The Pareto Principle is relevant to a variety of economic and business situations and identifies that approximately 80% of the outputs are derived from only 20% of the causes. This model is also commonly described as the “80/20 Rule” or the “Law of the Vital Few”.
This principle is named in honor of Italian economist, Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto who, in 1906, discovered that 80% of the real property in Italy was held by only 20% of the populace. Afterward he realized that an identical uneven relationship applied to other things as well (e.g., gardening).
Note that the 80% and 20% stats are not given proportions; more accurately, it is merely the unequal allotment that is significant.
1. Individual Implications:
The Pareto Principle reminds you to stay consistently attentive to the 20% of the total daily actions that really impact your profitability. Given the intricacy of today’s society, and particularly the information overload generated by the Net, it is very easy to become distracted and start spending time on things that (while they may be “pressing”) are not truly important in affecting your business success or your profitability.
Simplify Your “Daily Activity List”
- Of all the items on your “To-Do List,” only 20% really matter.
- Get rid of those that are simply time wasters and need never be done.
Focus on Your Successes, Not Your Weaknesses
- 20% of your effort will dictate 80% of your results.
- Use technology for those things that can easily be automated.
Stay Attentive to the 20%
- Identifying the critical 20% helps you apply your time efficiently.
- If “fires” surface, and something has to fall through the cracks, make sure it isn’t one of the critical 20%.
The “80/20 Individual” takes the Pareto Principle seriously and applies its findings to everyday life and everyday tasks. S/he concentrates on – and capitalizes on – individual strengths.
2. Customer/Product/Service Considerations:
Consider the term “Product” to include both tangible (i.e., physical) products as well as services and evaluate how the following commonly accepted statistics might impact your business.
Discover Key Customers & Most Profitable Products
- 20% of customers account for 80% of profits.
- 20% of products account for 80% of revenues.
Settle Product and Service Faults or Withdraw Them
- 80% of customer complaints center around the same 20% of products or services.
Weed out “customers” that are really just window shopping and don’t dilute your time and resources on products and services that have a negative effect on your bottom line – draining time, energy, and money that could be better spent elsewhere.
3. Website Considerations:
Distribution is about getting the products to the customer, and in an internet environment, much of that distribution happens via one or more of your websites.
Determine Your Important 20% Websites
- 20% of websites account for 80% of the visitors.
Determine Important Traffic Patterns
- Roughly 80% of your viewers see just 20% of your website pages. (This statistic holds true for both business to business and business to consumer, but may not hold true for pure content sites.)
Examine Your Web Traffic Reports
- You’ll learn that a limited number of keywords, search engines & websites give you the bulk of your traffic.
The Pareto Principle can inform your decisions as you optmize your pages and optimize traffic patterns.
4. Management Considerations:
Small companies, such as the bulk of internet businesses, drive the nation’s economy. Your internet business will benefit if you understand how Pareto’s Principle affects your profits.
Evaluate Your Sales Force (Including Affiliates)
- 20% of a sales force produces 80% of the annual results.
- The best 20% of any group is typically at least 16 times as useful as the remaining 80 percent.
Just as major corporations need to manage their employees, you’ll need to identify key performers, develop them, and encourage them if you want your business to be profitable.
5. Advertising/Marketing Implications:
Use Pareto’s Principle to help you make good choices about your marketing and advertising campaigns.
Recognize Your Best Performing Ads and Marketing Promotions
- 20% of your publicity will create 80% of your campaign’s outcomes.
- 20% of a marketing promotion will generate 80% of the responses, etc.
Discover your winning ads, and the placements that produce the greatest outcomes, then test – test – test, constantly tweaking them to make them even better.
If you’re running a small, online business, you’ve probably already learned that there are many things demanding your attention at any given moment. One of the biggest challenges you’ll face each and every day is determining how to invest your limited assets.
Reliable application of Pareto’s Principle will help you raise your business’ productivity and overall efficiency, thus growing your profitability.

Pareto’s Principle – Five Considerations for Internet Businesses
by admin on Sep.02, 2009, under General
The Pareto Principle applies to a variety of trade and industry situations and tells us that almost 80% of the results are directly attributable to only 20% of the causes. This view is also regularly described as the “80/20 Rule” or the “Law of the Vital Few”.
The Pareto Principle is named in honor of Italian economist, Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto who, in 1906, observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by only 20% of the populace. Afterward he discovered that an identical unequal relationship worked for other situations as well (e.g., gardening).
Notice that the 80% and 20% figures are not definite proportions; more accurately, it is simply the unequal allotment that is relevant.
1. Individual Implications:
The Pareto Principle encourages you to stay consistently attentive to the 20% of the total daily tasks that really affect the results. Given the intricacy of prevailing society, and especially the information overload produced by the WWW, it is very easy to become distracted and start putting your attention on things that (though they may be “pressing”) are not genuinely important in influencing your business success or your ROI.
Reduce Your “Daily Activity List”
- Of all the entries on your “To-Do List,” only 20% are really important.
- Delete items that simply waste time and trivial.
Focus on Your Strengths, Not Your Problems
- 20% of your effort will cause 80% of your results.
- Automate those tasks that can readily be automated.
Remain Attentive to the 20%
- Identifying the critical 20% helps you spread your time efficiently.
- If problems do surface, and something has to get dropped, make sure it isn’t one of the key 20%.
The “80/20 Individual” takes the Pareto Principle to heart and applies its findings to everyday life and everyday choices. S/he concentrates on – and takes advantage of – individual strengths.
2. Customer/Product/Service Considerations:
Define the term “Product” to include both real (i.e., physical) products as well as services and determine how the following generally accepted statistics might impact your business.
Recognize Important Customers & Best Performing Products/Services
- 20% of customers account for 80% of profits.
- 20% of products account for 80% of revenues.
Settle Product and Service Issues or Discontinue Them
- 80% of customer service problems cluster around the same 20% of products or services.
Ignore “customers” that are really just window shopping and don’t waste your time and resources on products and services that have a negative effect on your bottom line – draining time, energy, and money that could be better used elsewhere.
3. Website Implications:
Distribution is about getting the products to the customer, and in an online environment, much of that distribution happens via one or more of your websites.
Determine Your Critical 20% Websites
- 20% of sites account for 80% of the hits.
Identify Important Traffic Patterns
- Roughly 80% of your viewers see about 20% of your website pages. (This ratio holds true for both business to business and business to consumer, but may not hold true for pure content sites.)
Inspect Your Web Traffic Reports
- You’ll discover that a limited number of keywords, search engines & websites give you the lion’s share of your traffic.
The Pareto Principle can provide guidance as you optmize your pages and improve traffic patterns.
4. Management Implications:
Small companies, such as the bulk of internet businesses, drive the nation’s economy. Your small business will benefit if you understand how Pareto’s Principle affects your profits.
Evaluate Your Sales Force (Including Affiliates)
- 20% of a sales force produces 80% of the annual results.
- The best 20% of any group is generally at least 16 times as effective as the remaining 80 percent.
Just as major corporations need to manage their employees, you’ll need to identify key performers, take care of them, and encourage them if you want your business to be profitable.
5. Advertising/Marketing Considerations:
Use Pareto’s Principle to help you make good decisions about your marketing and advertising campaigns.
Determine Your Top Performing Ads and Marketing Campaigns
- 20% of your promotion will supply 80% of your campaign’s outcomes.
- 20% of a marketing campaign will generate 80% of the responses, etc.
Isolate your winning ads, and the placements that produce the best responses, then test – test – test, constantly improving them to make them even better.
If you’re running a small, online business, you’ve probably already learned that there are many things demanding your attention at any given moment. One of the greatest challenges you’ll face each and every day is determining how to spend your limited resources.
Consistent use of Pareto’s Principle will help you raise your business’ productivity and total efficiency, thus maximizing your profitability.

IIP MaxPro System – A Turnkey Internet Marketing System For Smart Folk Who Are Not “Techies”
by admin on Aug.28, 2009, under General
There are countless affiliate programs and marketing systems advertised on the Net constantly. I just ran a quick Google search for “affiliate programs” and got 25,600,000 hits. When I searched for “affiliate marketing systems,” Google displayed a smaller – but still overwhelming – 13,700,000 results.
That is far too many for any single person to be able to review that many search results to find an excellent affiliate program with an automated marketing system.
When I want to learn something new, or start a new venture, I’ve always found it works best if I can find experts in the field and become a student of them.
In order for me to believe people who call themselves experts, I want to know that they’ve “been there and done that.” Particularly, when it comes to internet “gurus,” I want to understand that they’ve actually been successful on the internet and become rich with their previous online companies.
I found one such internet guru – Darren Salkeld, of Infinite Income Plan fame. Salkeld’s story is amazing – he went from being a poor factory worker, with massive debts, to an internet millionaire. Darren overcame a $50,000 in credit card debt and earned over $250,000 in less than 90 days. Salkeld shared two key secrets with me
- Don’t squander your effort trying to earn small dollars when you can just as easily earn big dollars, and
- Learn ways to do your work one time, but get paid for it multiple times (i.e., develop recurrent income)
What do most affiliate programs share with sugar cookie recipes?
When I was a youngster, my grandmother was rather “famous” in our community for her sugar cookies; everyone loved them. In fact, they loved them so much that many people asked her for her recipe. Unfortunately, my grandmother didn’t use a cookbook, or a box of written recipe cards, and it seemed, when she went to write the recipe out for one of these friends, some “secret ingredient” always got omitted. No one was ever able to bake sugar cookies that came out just like my grandmother’s – even when using her “recipe”.
Many internet programs are like that sugar cookie recipe – there is always some “secret ingredient” that is not there. Something the program owners failed to include when teaching their new affiliates.
Mr. Salkeld, on the other hand, has commented, “This IIP MaxPro Marketing System is the exact same system that my business partner, Mike Antoni, and I use.” The exact same system that they use to earn a multi-million dollar income from the Web.
With their new IIP MaxPro Marketing System, they are providing future internet millionaires with a fully functioning system. The new MaxPro includes products and services for website set-up and hosting, automated lead management from initial lead capture through closed sales, in-house staff in the Call Center, a savvy technical support team, and training – training like the Traffic Blitz Course which conveys the experience and wisdom of several additional members of Salkeld’s Mastermind Group and teaches a variety of ways for the new affiliate to produce both paid – and free – traffic to their website.
Essentially, MaxPro does practically everything but bring prospects to the front door – that’s the affiliate’s primary job.
The brand new Max Pro System was launched July 10, 2009 and Salkeld is currently offering a FREE Report and Audio in celebration of the product launch. Click the preceding link to get yours before they’re gone!
