My First Million - Ana Rodriguez

 

This is the fabulous presentation by Ana Rodriguez at the Formula for Wealth Event on the 13^th of January.  There are some great tips about understanding different mindsets and how it can impact on building your wealth. https://youtu.be/DjBiaVSdTc4

Ana spoke about how to understand the different types of people, how to relate to them and how you can relate to them.

Ana also talked about her latest book entitled My First Million - details of how to obtain the book are in the video description.  

I met Ana through a mutual friend back in March 2020 during the lockdowns.  

We formed an investment group that started trading in August that year.  Starting from just £100 per month.  Today there are over 200 members and almost $1m invested.

It is really worth listening to Ana about mindsets for building wealth.

Are Membership Sites the Best Way to Grow an Online Business

 

Membership Sites have been growing in popularity over recent years to the extent that sales in 2025 are estimated to reach $1 billion.  Having a membership enhances your reputation; grows your client base and can provide potential clients with huge benefits.

Members Only - offers it members access to books, resources, interviews and launching on Tuesday, 23rd January, members will have access to free live training through Online Business Mastery.

Online Business Mastery is a course we sell around £497 but for Members of the Members Only Membership Site it will be part of their £9.97 per month membership.

Membership sites require some work to build but once they have been marketed and are growing they provide Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) an essential part of being online.

Membership sites can easily be incorporated into a website and I currently run Members Only through my course hosting site that offers community features for interaction.

Patreon is another example of a membership site where members pay for gaining extra information not made public but for a small monthly fee.

If you already have a business and are looking for a way to add an additional income stream them Membership Sites are worth investingating further.

The 3 Core Elements of SEO

Gone are the days of creating a website with just a sales page and expecting people to buy your product. First, your website will probably be lost amongst the estimated 250,000 new websites created each day.  Second, people expect more today.

One of the growing trends for search engines is visitor experience.  They measure how good the visitor experience to a website is based on several factors including

1. Did the visitor find what they wanted?

2. Was there sufficient information to answer their questions

3. How much time did the visitor spend on your website.

These are some of the tools that SEO addresses when applied the right way to a website.

This week's Online Entrepreneur Blog is about The 3 Core Elements of SEO for improving website rankings and sales.

Online sales for 2023 were 3.09 trillion dollars with a projected estimate of $5.06 trillion by 2025.  Being part of this industry is essential for business success.  You can't afford not to be online.

The Formula For Wealth Summit was held on Saturday and what an amazing day. The information provided was brilliant.  From tear-jearing overcoming adversity to multi-millionaires who have built their wealth and now help others to build their wealth. 

However, it wasn't all smooth running.  If it could go wrong it did including being hacked, having to change meeting links and a power cut.  

But the feedback was amazing.  I just needed a couple of days break of R&R to recouperate.

There will be a copy of the event available so still time to register to receive the video and some of the special offers.

Have a great day

 

What Does Your Personal Brand Say About You?

 

What Does Your Personal Brand Say About You?

Today's blog Building a Personal Brand - Tips for Successful Branding we look at why having a personal brand is important.

Many people when starting their online entrepreneurship journey are scared about showing their face.  They often look for online businesses that they can do anonymously.

However, when you come to the forefront and create a personal brand online success becomes easier.

People like to do business with people they know, like and trust.  

Personal Brands let people get to know more about you, they either like or dislike what you do and if they like you then you start to build trust and trust generates sales.

In today's blog, I share some personal stories about my success with personal branding and why I think it is essential for success.

The Online Entrepreneur is a website of resources to help you grow your online business.

Education is another essential for growing your online business and staying at the top of your game.  Check out the courses available at Karen Newton Intenternational

Adapting to AI Technology

 

Arriving in my email box this morning was an email from Wealthy Affiliates my web hosting platform.  They started developing AI tools last year and today's email was to inform me that it was live.

So, I dived in and created my first AI post. 

Towards the end of last year, Wealth Affiliates updated their platform creating hubs.  The hubs are a management tool for generating suggested posts for your website, using keyword research tools and now AI will create the blogs for you.

So, a simple click on a AI suggested article, then written by AI and it was created.

All I had to do was edit it.  This took the article from 880 words up to 1500 words.  I added my own images; personal anecdotes and created the internal and external links. 

The published article took around 1.5 hours instead of the customary 4 - 5 hours.

I'm adapting to AI Technology - at last and liking it.

Why Brand You is Perfect for an Online Business

 

When I started coaching, everyone was telling me I needed a brand for my business.  

It became known as The £2.73 Club based on if you saved £2.73 per day then you had one thousand a year and were able to invest.

Then people told me that The £2.73 Club sounded too small and if I wanted investors to invest with me I needed another name.

It didn't matter that I had spent a small fortune on £2.73 branding, website, event material etc.

I couldn't come up with another name despite working with a branding agent who said, your business name is unique and means something - this was not what my business partner wanted to hear when we had spent £500 with the agent.

Eventually, during covid, my business partner left and the business became Karen Newton International.

Why?

It is my brand, it is built around the things I've learned to build my wealth to what it is today.  Brand me, is the best brand for my business.

In Newsletter #029 recently released on The Online Entrepreneur website, I talk about Brand You and the benefits of making you the brand.

Joint Ventures

Today, one of the Karen Newton International Joint Ventures for property investing completed on their first property deal in Spain.

The property is on a Golf Resort at Condado de Alhama, Murcia.  A lovely central location for golf, tennis, swimming, going to the beach or city life.

Momentum is starting to grow and a second property deal is in progress which I'll be able to announce shortly.

Joint Ventures are a great way to get started as an investor.

Another Joint Venture is Share Investing - through our investment clubs we pool our money together and are able to trade and grow the pot faster.  We now have 5 investment clubs managing just under $1 million and providing trading opportunities to nearly 200 people.

Tonight I get to work with 3 of those amazing clubs.

Have a great day.
