Blogging for Cash has a great ring to it.
In fact, so does the business title - Infopreneur.
Sounds almost royal doesn't it? There are two important business factors that require some serious focus if you're going to succeed long-term as an online marketer/Infopreneur.
It is absolutely critical that you are operating your business with the right business resources.
Everyone is different so whats right for me in business may not be the best solution for you and your business.
It is totally fine to take recommendations of trusted others you trust--just don't take them without checking things out for yourself.
If you use the following as a guideline, you should end up with a product or service that fits your business requirements now and into the future.
Here are 7 factors I focus on when making business resource choices:

1. What business task(s) is this going to help me to perform better or faster - How is using this resource going to save my business time, make things more efficient, get my customers happier with using our services?
2. Ease of use and length of the learning curve - Do I, or one of my assistants have to be a rocket scientist to operate this application? Will I spend 3 months getting familiar with it and become bored with it before it starts producing results?
3. Does the associated costs justify the overall business improvements and advantages - Will the combined costs (initial cost to purchase plus operating costs) be worth the results I see in my business long-term.
   
4. Can this product or service expand with my business into the future? - If you do the right thing in online business, you'll be amazed at how fast your business can grow.
   You'll need to ensure that the offering no matter what type has the ability to expand as your business grows.
   
5. What levels of documentation and technical support are offered? - Are there ample technical resources (documents, videos, screen-captures, etc.
   ) available so that we can figure things out on our own without a support request? What level of support and time-frames are to be expected? This is a big factor in my decisions.
   
6. What information is already available about the product or service that I can intelligently factor into my purchasing decisions? - What do other users and customers think about the performance and usability of this product or service? Has it made their business experience better or worse? Again, this is another big factor.
   
7. Affiliate program offering - Does this product have an affiliate offering? This is a business we're in after all, we need to work the pay-it-forward model for an excellent chance at achieving profitability and business longevity.
   If this is an offering that makes my business more efficient, than why shouldn't I refer it to another and make some change from it too? As long as you're not peddling crap around the Internet I see no problem with it.
   My guess is neither will you once you see how it can help everybody to get better in business.
   

Those are just some of the many questions I ask before I move ahead on the purchase of any business resource.
It doesn't matter how big or small, costly or cheap the resource may be--I give it extreme consideration before adding it to my business platform.
If it's not directly adding to my business growth and effectiveness--it's taking away from it! Anyone in business knows that can't happen for long.
Oh! One other important thing to consider--sleep on it at least one night before any buying decision.
Give your subconscious mind a chance to weigh in on the decision too! Your subconscious filters out all the hype and marketing fluff for you.
The second of the two important business factors is Your Mindset.
I don't care what courses you take, redundant servers your hosting with, how fancy looking and well SEO'ed your blog is...
if your Mindset is not right you're going nowhere! Blogging for Cash is fine as long as it's for the right reasons and not the wrong ones.
Be in business to help and assist others and it becomes almost impossible to fail.
