STOP Whining About the Economy! How To Recession Proof Your Online Business Almost Overnight

STOP.

I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear.....but is still 100% true.

It's an EXCUSE. An easy way out. Want to know why? Because while some people seem to never stop blaming the economy for their financial woes......thousands of others, each and everyday begin to CRUSH it online with simple strategies that are timeless, evergreen and amazingly empowering.

The EASIEST way to recession proof your business in 2011?

Write articles. Lots of them. Start small....but stay disciplined for an hour or two every day.

Create content....JUST like this. Submit those articles to the high authority content directories and forget about them...BUT, keep on doing it each and every day.

Why?

Because your ARTICLES are an asset. They offer you a protection you simply can't get from most fly by night silly strategies you'll see in your inbox every morning.

Your CONTENT, as it grows, ages and matures in the search engines provides an economic blanket that protects your business no matter WHAT you sell, what you promote or what you are trying to build. (from a blog.....to selling ecommerce products, to selling your OWN services like I do)

Writing articles, as a daily exercise, has been the single biggest investment i've made in my own business.....bar none.

Why?

It protects me from having to invest in all of the silly strategies, the fly by night guru launches, and the latest, greatest shiny "technique" that promises overnight riches with minimum effort.

As a matter of fact, I still get traffic from articles I wrote 3 years ago. Which means my websites, regardless of what is going on in the world around me - economic good times or bad, still gets qualified visitors who are interested in what I've got to sell, EVEN if I don't lift a finger.

And if you are a hard core success junkie like me.....you will understand and agree with this for sure...:-)

The bottom line, from an ASSET perspective is this:

A new client, that emanates from work I did some random morning in 2007 or 2008 is a bigger and BETTER rush than any other investment you'll make this year or next....I promise!

What is an Evergreen Product?

What do I mean by that? There are some concepts that generally do not change. For example, if I were to create a product about how to create a website, including how to upload files, how to zip a file, then that product would be considered to be evergreen.

If, on the other hand, I created a website that featured a product on how to market to your Facebook friends, then that product might not be considered to be evergreen. The reason is that Facebook might very likely change their rules, or tighten their privacy policy which would, very likely, cause your ebook to be out of date.

The one of the reasons that one would take caution with whether or not their product was evergreen is if it were part of a "set it and forget it" membership site. If you were to set up a membership site, with the intention of leaving it alone and let the material do all the work for you, you would want to stay away from topics such as Facebook or MySpace.

Another reason you might want your product to be evergreen is if you intend to attract affiliates to your site. Ideally, you want your affiliates to be able to promote your products without you having to update them.

Other examples of topics that you would not use to create evergreen products might include eBay, whose rules change all the time, and Google, whose search engine optimization secrets are never divulged and most likely change all the time.

Whether or not your product could be considered "evergreen" could also depend on how specific your information is. If you use a lot of generalities about weight loss, for example, if your product was based on the concept that to lose weight you should eat less and exercise more, then that information will stand the test of time.

The problems in that case, might arise if you decide to quote "the latest research", because surely the latest research on most topics concerning health and wellness will change considerably in a short period of time.

How to Make Money Growing Ground Covers

Ground covers are just that, basically any plant that covers the ground. The start-up costs are reasonable, and you stand to make one of the highest per-square-foot incomes for a backyard nursery. So what do ground covers do? They help control the threat of erosion and weeds, and they reduce the amount of water needed to keep the land healthy.

There are currently hundreds of plants that can be used as ground covers. Don't worry, you don't have to grow all of them to succeed as a plant grower. Instead, focus on a few. The "Big Four" include: English Ivy, Pachysandra, Vinca and Winter Creeper. If you're starting out and are unsure just what to grow, consider visiting your local retail nursery and see what they're stocking. Ask around. What are people looking for? What grows well in your area? Are there any specialty plants that seem like the perfect fit for you? It might take some experimentation, but you'll find what works best soon enough.

Here are some highly-recommended ground covers that you might want to try:

Astilbe - a perennial that provides delicate flowers in the spring.

Erica (Heath) - a low-growing plant that requires hardly any maintenance.

Hedera (Ivy) - a hardy Evergreen plant that spreads rapidly. "Thorndale" and "Baltic are two of the most popular English Ivy varieties.

Iberis (Candytuft) - a very popular ground cover for rock gardeners.

Chamaemelum Nobile (Chamomile) - an evergreen ground cover that is widely used in Europe. The flowers make for a soothing tea.

After your plants are ready to be sold, now what? Let's get selling! The most profitable way is to sell directly to the public. Retail sales get you paid now, instead of waiting months, which can be the case with wholesaling. You can also have a "wholesale day," where you sell your groundcovers at a discounted price. Having a big sale could bring some big crowds. Make sure you have plant labels and that all your plants are labeled with the correct type and price. You need to be ready for those big crowds, so make things easier on yourself by having all your plants labeled and grouped.

Looking for another profitable way to sell your plants? Try mail-order sales. Since ground covers are a niche market, many people are looking for a wider selection than what is available at their local garden center. That's why they turn to mail-order to find what they want. Put together a web site, flyer or free catalog, and try to get it in as many potential customers' hands as possible. Soon you could be sending your plants through the mail and getting big profits in return.

You can be making money with ground covers in no time. Grow what people want, and then be sure to let everyone know what you have for sale. You could be the grower everyone calls on. So get growing!
