Busy Making YouTube Videos

I’ve been remiss in keeping up with fresh new content for my YouTube channels.  George Kosch threw down the gauntlet on his Friday workshop last week, so I got busy, and pulled together a nice video, submitted the URL, and received 100 Free Associates and 50 Exclusive Leads.  WOW!!!

Just in case you didn’t know, I produced many of the training videos for not only my own safelists (I owned about 40), but for other site admins.  Over time, things may have changed, new features were added, and some sites went away, but my old YouTube channel (@RichMoyer1953) still has some of these legacy videos that may not be up to date, but there is some good information and techniques in that content.

My latest videos are on YouTube.com/@RichardMoyer1953. Here are some of the titles:

• World Profit Link Magic Tool

• WebcastSource com Tour

• Fast Track Cash

• JetPack Traffic Package w Free Silver

• WorldProfit Free Associate Landing Pages
• Also, newsletter videos

If you haven’t done so already, LIKE the videos, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

TIP:  As George Kosch teaches, and constantly reinforces, YouTube Videos are a FANTASTIC SOURCE OF LEADS.  Anybody can create a YouTube Channel.  Are you shy?  You can easily create FACELESS videos with free tools like Snagit

TIP:  Be sure you put your affiliate ID or preferably, your CAPTURE PAGE URL as the first line in the DESCRIPTION for your video.

Could You Re-Invent Your Business?  Can You PROVE IT?

I spent 32 years in the corporate world before officially retiring (the first time).  Actually, 7 years before I retired, I started 3 businesses, in addition to working full time, traveling for business, and raising a family.  Even though I traveled almost every week, on a train, plane, or automobile (I’m a big guy, but am not mistaken to be John Candy), I was home most weekends.

I had far too many vacation days accrued, in fact, I was actually put on “remedial vacation” by HR where one year, I was required to take off every Friday and Monday from July until the end of the year to use up all those days, or lose them, so I spent that time renovating the 1890’s vintage Victorian duplex apartment building I bought and managed.

Post retirement, my consulting practice took off, but required extensive travel for 6-month blocks of time while doing auditing, with focus on one client exclusively at a time.  I could handle support of most small business clients remotely, but it ended my run on the lecture circuit and conducting seminars for real estate entrepreneurs.

Unfortunately, between gigs during the first year, I had an accident that left me unable to do any more DIY work on my real estate holdings, and do any property management, so I liquidated those two businesses (retirement #2). After recovering enough to return to work, my focus became solely on my consulting clients.

I actually got back into the corporate world again, this time as a professional consultant, with all Fortune 500, government, and military clients.  I loved what I was doing, and had no management responsibility, no budgets, no HR or union issues, no employees reporting to me.  I got up in the morning, and after the first year, transitioned to my home office, so I walked downstairs, and just did my job. Traveled when I needed to, but my trips were generally only a few days at a time, and not every week.

That job was fine until my poor knees, after so many years of being bone-on-bone, gave out, and I had my first knee replacement.  The company put me on disability, and when that ran out, let me go.  This was, according to my wife, my 3rd and FINAL retirement!

I had a rough recovery from knee surgery, with almost 2 months inpatient for rehab.  During that time, I had my laptop and WIFI, so I spent my time, when not doing PT, researching, and starting building a business plan for internet marketing.

I spent the next couple years building up my e-commerce business, with two, 10,000 product e-stores, and generating organic traffic through SEO for my blogs in which I highlighted the products, and did reviews for the particular niches for which those products were used.

That worked out fine until Google released a new version of its search engine rules called “Penguin“.  The day that was introduced, all the time and money I had invested in SEO went right down the drain.  ALL my traffic FLAT-LINED, the lifeblood of my business needed to drive prospects to my blogs and e-commerce stores.

I have to admit, that even though I was fanatical about having a BUSINESS PLAN, including an EXIT STRATEGY, this took me totally by surprise.

Fortunately, I had been “dabbling” in email marketing before Penguin, and found a way to RENT safelists affordably.  My strategy was to rent several safelist sites, not only for unlimited free advertising, but also TO GET THE BONUS SUPERSOLOS that were “thrown in” by the site owner.  This was a way to generate traffic without the money pit of SEO.  A nice side benefit was that it provided a way to build and manage MY LIST, because each site included an autoresponder.  My monthly rent for each site was cheaper than the purchase of supersolos alone, so this was a win-win.

After the Paypal fiasco that put so many safelist owners out of business, I saw an opportunity, so I began to buy up these sites, and do the programming to accept alternative payment methods.  I cleaned up the dead wood of inactive members and ads, then promoted them to build up ACTIVE memberships.  For each site I owned, I got a monthly allocation of free Supersolos that I used for my own email marketing.  I would get these sites profitable, them sell them, with the provision that I retained a lifetime top-level membership on each that I sold.

I had several rental site owners go out of business, and I eventually sold off the remaining sites I acquired, which got me out of the safelist ownership business, but I still keep my hand in it:  I do admin work and ad approvals for 264 of Dave Mosher’s safelists.

My current business plan reflects that my primary business is AFFILIATE MARKETING, specifically email marketing.  I do not do social media like Facebook or X, but I do produce YouTube videos.

So, the point of this was that even though I had to REDEFINE MY BUSINESS several times, due to factors beyond my control, I HAD A BUSINESS PLAN.  Every time I had to reinvent my business, EACH ITERATION OF THAT BUSINESS PLAN was sufficient documentation needed for my accountant to DEFEND CONCURRENT YEARS OF LOSSES to the IRS, which gave me the ability to continue deducting legitimate business expenses, and prove that this was more than what the IRS considered a hobby.

My goal is to continue to earn commissions to the point that I am covering my expenses.  Because I am diligent in documenting my business income and expenses, those legitimate business expenses offset the earnings that otherwise, I would have to pay taxes on.

As I continuously preach:  TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS!
