About

Viliat FounderFellow Online Entrepreneur,

My name is Max Lloyd and I have been involved in various online businesses over the past several years. During my online business ventures (from Adwords to niche product sites and business blogs), I gained knowledge and experience in building successful online businesses. I learnt quite a few lessons, but most important are - you cannot succeed online without solid understanding of online business basics, and not treating your online business as a real business. Again and again, I see the same disturbing pattern - too many entrepreneurs jump into online business too quickly, some time based on what they read in 2-3 overhyped ebooks.

As any business, online business requires time, dedication, knowledge, planning and effort. Ask yourself if you really ready for it, and if you are – Welcome to Viliat. I’ll share with you how to start online business with zero or a very little money down and grow it from there, review latest products, publish tips and case studies to help you learn faster. Explore the site, educate yourself, be alert and take action. The best way to get informed on what’s new at Viliat is to subscribe to mailing list (and get free book loaded with great advise on blogging ) or to RSS feed through RSS reader or email. It is not-intrusive and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Main focus of this blog is to help you with following subjects:

Monetization – latest statistics show that 59% of bloggers don’t even consider monetization for their blogs. And bloggers, who do, are mainly monetizing with Adsense.

Automation – blogging takes a lot of time and frequently bloggers quit just because they can not coupe with the tasks. You’ll learn various ways how to automate tasks and save time to concentrate on the business.

Tracking and testing – any successful online business owner will tell you that they got there by vigorously testing and tracking everything – from clicks to split testing sale copy.

Business development – if you still look at blogging as a hobby, you are setting up for failure. Blog, as any successful business, should be treated as such – research, planning, budgeting, milestones and so on.

Business blogging – do you own offline business? If you do, and don’t run business blog you are missing huge opportunity to connect with your leads and customers, hear first hand what they want, what they like and don’t like and get to the next level of success.
