Top 1%

I was researching website niches recently for some of the main categories online.

The one stop source I was using was the SBI (Site Build It) results page where the top 1% of Alexa ranked websites using SBI are listed. It is a nice mixture of well performing sites.

I noticed that J-Six Solutions (and three of our other websites) ranks within the top 1% of all websites in the world, even without using SBI.

Some clues on how to achieve this are here: www.jamesschramko.com/seo

Play to your Strengths to make profit

Respected Business Coach (both online and offline) Rich Schefren has published a manifest about online business http://www.strategicprofits.com/download/manifesto.html and it has rocked the internet community.

What is it about?

Essentially it is about leveraging your time better to be a more strategic business operator. Too many business entrepreneurs are "opportunisitic" with spasmodic instant gratification moves, as opposed to those more successful entrepreneurs who have a long term strategic plan and stick to the main vision. Rich drafts out the main roles in having an online business, and then explains how to get more done faster.


Main lesson:

  • Rather than do this myself, who could I get to do it better, faster and cheaper than I could.

Missing Chapter

Rich just released an additional chapter. It was so powerful I recommend you get it here and understand the simple truth in it.

The summary:

  • A website alone does not equal a Business
  • Stop chasing things that merely interest you (hobby)
  • Time = life. Use it wisely
  • Work with your strengths (business)
  • Make excellent decisions
  • The only two outcomes are Results or excuses
  • Change the game to suit your strengths

So, why not appraise where you are heading right now, and decide if you need to make any adjustments.
