Hey everyone I know it's been a really long time since I made a blog post. I've been coming up with my evil plans to take over the app market. It hasn't been an easy task but was one heck of a good ride creating that first app.

After weeks of planning and designing My partner and I got our first app in the App Store. It's called faceflip. What is faceflip you ask? Well take a look at the description:

FaceFlip lets you flip you and your friend’s faces around and upside-down!

You’ll see your face in a way you’ve never seen it before.

Let's face it most people will not stay on your website long enough to figure out what you provide or offer. So how do you capture their attention while explaining what you offer and make it exciting and entertaining? The answer is simple yet complex.

You create viral videos! Creating viral videos seem like an impossible task to accomplish but with a little creativity you will have yourself a short video that entertains, educates, and has a call to action. It's important to keep your video short.

If you notice our video below it is only 45sec. It's also in a really cool animated style that is appealing. It captures the imagination while making the viewer connect with what we offer and give them the feeling of already using our services.

 

You want a website, but you're strapped for time and no Nerd Ninja. You want something simple to use, looks professional, and won't leave your bank account looking sad.

Have others read it to see if it makes sense. You also want to make it catchy, funny, and creative as possible.

The Art Of Creating And Selling Online Businesses Part 1

Looking back over 2 years ago I never thought I would be where I’m at today doing what I’m doing. I mean I get to stay home all day play on my computer, go where I want, no boss, and have complete freedom. I mean it almost feels like a sin :)

I always get asked what I do for a living and it’s always so hard to describe. I mean I’m an internet marketer/web developer/?????? The best way I can describe it is I create and sell online businesses. I don’t really think they have a job title for that or you can apply for it. I sort of just created it for myself as it’s what I really enjoy doing. I won’t bore you with all the details and just get into the nitty gritty!

Brainstorm/Develop/Create

When people see what I do they think I’m lucky or think what I do is so easy when in fact it is quite the opposite. I make it seem easy because I’ve been such a techy/artistic person my whole life. I love doing what I do. What I do would usually take someone new to this 5-10 years of dedicated work to reach my numbers. The process of what I do is brainstorm and look for great opportunities to create online businesses. Either it be a service or product (I do also create fun niche sites that generate income)

After I have the idea mapped in my head I start looking and planning how I want the site to turn out. I look at other sites to get ideas. This includes how the pages layout, color scheme, fonts and all that other fun stuff. Then comes the Logo, graphics, buttons, writing content, and such. I will go into more detail on the creation and sells process of creating and selling the online business.

Where The Magic Happens

After coming across a website called Flippa I decided to try and sell one of my websites. It sold but not for much as it was a weird niche and not much income. I just wanted to test it out. It sold for more than I thought for a total of 191 bucks. Not shabby I thought for a website about Wooden Boat Kits! I know weird niche and I knew nothing about it. That sell is what drove me to develop and create sites/business that I sell and make a very comfortable living from. Not only that I make money with the sites I develop so it’s a win win for me. Click Here To Go To Flippa

2 Years Of Sales

Like I said earlier I have been doing this for about 2 years now and so far I’m going stronger than ever. Here are some screen shots of some sales I’ve made over 2 years:

Hey It's Lyman Need A Quick Favor :)

If your wondering if that last email was legit or not it is. I just launched a new business and maybe got a little carried away haha. But I am offering 20% commission to any sales anyone brings me It would really help me out and Can give you some extra money. Feel free to contact me with questions and what not. 

Again the site is http://localtized.com I did design and build the site (Me Lyman) 

Hey It's Lyman Need A Quick Favor :)

I've got a 30-second favor I need to ask you for.

As you might know I'm a local online marketing consultant and launched my new site/business http://localtized.com

I'm helping business owners make sure their prospective customers can find them when they go looking online.

As you know, the best clients are always the ones where there's already some sort of connection – that goes a long way toward building trust and making an initial contact easier.

So here's the favor...

Who are 3 or more people you know that have a local business and would like it to be more successful?

For example...
Dentists
Chiropractors
Electricians
Heating and A/C Companies
Attorneys
Plumbers

Or any kind of business serving their local area.

What I'd like to do is provide them with a free, comprehensive analysis and consultation of their online marketing efforts.

It will show them where they are now with their website, where potential customers are looking for what they offer online, the steps they can take to reach their potential customers online, and help them discover how much untapped, new-found business is out there looking for them on the internet.

Normally it's a $497 report and consultation, but because the connection is coming from you, I want to give them something 
valuable that they can put to use in their business. And maybe they'll be interested in my services to implement the plan I give them in their report.

Also for any business I close that you reffered I will give you 20% commission of any of my 4 packages I offer. 

1st package is $500 so your commission would be $100

2nd package is $600 so your commission would be $120

3rd package is $800 so your commission would be $160

4th package is $1200 so your commission would be $240

feel free to check out my site to learn more about what is offered http://localtized.com

You'll be doing both of us a huge favor!

Just reply back with the name, email, phone number and business name for the business owners you know or you can direct them right to my site.

I really appreciate it!

How To Avoid Being A Lifeless Zombie

As I write this I’m at the age of 23. Each day I look around and see the people around me and wonder what their life is like. Do they do what they love or do they drag through life as a zombie. I don’t know what most people expect from life but what I do expect from myself is to try and make as much of it I can and add as much value that I can.

 

The Spark That Started It All

Iremember at the end of my 8th grade year I mentally made a decision to change my life. I wanted to make a change because of all the damage, drama, and pain I have experienced that was dragging me down an endless path of destruction and life filled with no fulfillment. My grades before this moment were horrible I barley passed my classes to continue to high school.

I sat in my desk ready to pick my classes for high school. I herd people talking about picking the least difficult classes to make it easy as possible. I didn’t want that for myself. I knew I had to change my thoughts or I was doomed. I decided to take all advanced classes.

That was the day I sparked a new way of thinking. I learned at an early age that in order to be successful in life you have to change your thought process. This new way of thinking allowed me to do and accomplish things that I never once thought I could.

I was a dorky/geeky kid in high school and wanted to join the Marines. I was 17 at the time and everybody told me not to do it or I couldn’t do it. I was determined though. I was not going to let anyone no matter who they were change my mind or what I can or can’t accomplish.

Guess what? I served 6 years in the Marines, traveled the world, trained with different special forces around the world, and got to be part of a Scout Sniper Platoon on my last combat tour.

Thoughts Create Reality

So where am I getting at with all of this? It’s simple! Your thoughts create reality. Don’t live in fear or think negative about yourself or the world around you. You attract and create based off your emotions and thoughts.

Quite living in fear and go out do what you want with your life. Is their something you always wanted to do with your life? A place you always wanted to go? What is stopping you? The answer is fear. You need to take action right now and take charge of you life. It’s your life and destiny, make it what you want it to be.

The Age Old Myth

You know the story where you go to school, get a degree, and life will be grand. Have you noticed lately that more and more college graduates are having a hard time finding a job? It seems the education system is pumping out crap degrees that have very little use in our society. To be honest I bet I could better educate myself than what some people learn in college or other schools.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not condoning to not go to college or saying that it’s a bad choice. You can learn a very important trade or something of great value. What I am saying is that college has turned more into a profit generating system than a educational system.

I did attend college but I realized that it is not for me. I knew that I wanted to be an Entrepreneur. I wanted to take charge of my own life and that is exactly what I did. I know work the hours I want and do what I love at the age of 23. I wake up when I want, work as much as I want to, and I will never do it any other way again.

Don’t Be A Zombie

Do you notice yourself almost brainless in the sense of doing the same thing everyday not getting any fulfillment out of life? It’s ok if you are because their are millions if not billions of people who live this life. simply living their life as zombies. Going to a job they hate coming home to watch TV to only make them more brainless.

It’s not to late to change this. It will be hard but the reward is far greater. Here are some steps to get you on the right track.

 

  • Watch less TV
  • Exercise Weekly
  • Create Weekly Goals
  • Eat Healthier Foods
  • Analyze Your Thoughts
  • Think Highly Of Yourself
  • Envision Your Future
  • Learn A New Skill
  • Meet New People
  • Keep Your Mind Open
  • Travel More
  • TAKE ACTION

 

 

Ican keep going and going and give you a list but the truth is their is no magic list to follow in life that tells you all the steps in being happy in life. That is up to you my friend to WAKE UP and grab life by the horns and show it who’s boss. What do you have to lose? What is the point in living if your afraid to take risks. Think about it if you had only 1 week to live would you be happy what you have accomplished in life so far? If the answer is no then you need to get off YOUR ASS and live.

I hope this blog post helps you realize just how great your life can be if you choose to make it that way. It’s your choice and your destiny. Don’t let others create it for you!
