1- Define with clarity your career or business:

“What business are you in?” is the most important question you can ask yourself. The answer will allow you to set clear limits on who your audience is and how can you help them. Only then will your career be clearly defined.

2- Think ahead:

“What will I need to do in one/five/ten years from now in order to keep advancing in my career?” This is the second most important question you need to take into account to be successful in your career. As mentioned before, we live in a world of constant change, and what makes you successful in your career today might not be enough tomorrow.

3- Identify your excellence area:

What do you do especially well? Do you have a specific career skill that you do better than most in your field? Identify an area within your career that is aligned with your core values and goals and in which you perform particularly well. Once identified, give it your all to get as good as possible in that area. Design a plan of action that will help you not only become as good as possible in the short term, but that also contemplates long-term changes and requirements in that area.

Well, with internet marketing getting more and more popular over the past few years, many new ways of making money online have emerged. One of the most popular and effective ones is affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing?

Put simply, affiliate marketing is simply like becoming an agent of an e-commerce site or any other online marketplace. You’re given your unique “affiliate” links, which you can use to promote the products and services offered by your merchant.

As per Anand Mishra CEO of Star Infranet, when someone clicks on your affiliate link and buys something from the merchant, you are paid a commission that depends on various factors, such as the price of the product sold, the total number of sales you have referred to your merchant, the profitability of that particular product or service for your merchant, and so on.

How to become an affiliate?

Usually, becoming an affiliate is a very simple and straightforward process. You can simply sign up like you do when registering an email account, and just need to fill in the details you’re asked for.

However, some merchants make it more difficult for the new affiliate to become a part of their affiliate network and make money online, especially when they want to choose only experienced affiliates. Such merchants are much more selective while recruiting new affiliates than most others, and hence it’s harder to get into such networks.

The below given are some of the common things such merchants require from their affiliates before allowing them on board.

• They require the affiliates to be experienced, meaning that they prefer recruiting only those who have worked as an affiliate marketer before they start to make money
• They might even want their affiliates to share their website that will be used for promoting the products or services
• Some even require their affiliate to agree to terms and conditions that restrict them to promote other merchants’ (usually their competitors) products on the same sites
• Similarly, some affiliate networks also include a condition that doesn’t allow an affiliate member to promote their products or services through social media and other such public places, usually to avoid spam.

A final word

Although it’s usually quite easy to get into an affiliate network, you may want to do a bit of research before getting into one, just to be sure that you’re comfortable with their requirements and conditions.

Let’s review a few practical tips from Anand Mishra Entrepreneur that anybody can start applying to improve their body confidence, which will at the same time have a positive repercussion on self-esteem:

1- It is important to realize that your body is yours and nobody else's. Others don’t have the right to look down on your or make you feel less of a person for the way you look. If they do, they are very likely the type of people you don’t want to have in your life, so why care about what they think in the first place?

2- If there are certain aspects of your appearance that you don’t like, see if it is something that you can change or if it is not possible to do so. If dealing with the first case, do some research, make a plan and put it into action as soon as possible. But if dealing with the latter, you need to learn how to accept it. Realize that it is pointless to dwell on things you can’t change and that this specific trait that you don’t like is part of what makes you unique, and what makes you YOU,

3- If you decide to take measures to change something about your body image that you don’t like, it would be best to do it for yourself and not for others and what they think about you. To feel good about one’s self should be your main motivation when trying to make a change in your body and/or learn how to improve your body confidence.

Starting a restaurant business may be a dream for many, especially those that have been working in the industry for a long time now or are just very passionate about cooking. However, most of the people that do take the plunge by starting a restaurant business end up shutting shop surprisingly soon, some even before making it to the opening.

If you don’t want to suffer the same fate, here are some of the things you should know about.

Cost Estimation

Not focusing on how much money it would take you to start a restaurant can be a disastrous mistake. In fact, most of the restaurants that fail are those that had an owner that couldn’t anticipate the costs accurately enough.

Starting a restaurant can cost far more than what you may think initially, so it’s always wise to do some research before going all in into it.

Requirement of a Huge Capital

To add to what we just said above, starting a restaurant is usually not something you can do with just your personal savings. That’s unless of course if you have several hundred thousand dollars lying around in your bank account.

But if that’s not the case, be prepared to work hard to raise enough funds or take risks that involve mortgaging your house – something that’s commonly done by new restaurant owners to raise funds.

Hiring the Right Staff

You obviously can’t afford to have employees that aren’t committed to their job right when you start your restaurant. The operating costs would already be high enough to make it hard for you to keep up with them, let alone having to pay employees more than what their service is worth to your business.
