10 Reasons Why People Won't Buy A Second Product From
You

1. You didn't follow up after the first sale. After the sale you
could have introduced your other producton the thank e-mail.

2. You didn't ship the product in the about of time you stated.
If they needed it in a hurry and youdidn't provide, they won't
rely on you again.

3. Your product didn't do as promised. If your product didn't
accomplish their desired goal they're not going to think your
second product will either.

4. Your customer couldn't get a hold of you in time when they
had a "after question" sale. You could have added extra lines
of communication.

5. Your customer doesn't want to revisit your website because
it didn't offer much. You could have offered more original content
or freebies.

6. Your competition is offering free shipping with their
product. You should have been more aware of how they are
targeting your customers.

7. Your customer forgot your web site address.You should have
given your customers your website information in your product
package.

8. Your customer service couldn't solve a problem they had with
your product. Your customer service should be trained to handle
most problems.

9. You didn't up-sell when they were already in the buying mood.
You can always try to sell your other product when they're ready
to buy your first one.

10. Your competition offers a stronger money back guarantee.
You must always be thinking of better ways to remove the risk
from your customers.

10 Tips For Running A Profitable Web Site

Compliments of Bryon Zirker

1. Address your targeted audience on your business
site. Example: "Welcome Internet Marketers". If
you have more than one, address them all.

2. Always ensure thet your content and graphics are
relevant to your web site's theme. You wouldn't want
to use a bird graphic on a business web site.

3. Alert your visitors via email when you have added
new content to your web site. This will remind people
to revisit your web site.

4. Offer a good and easy way for visitors to contact
you on each web page. List your email address, fax
number and phone number. Now you look real to them.

5. Give people the option of viewing your web site
offline. Offer it by autoresponder or printer friendly
version. This is a rare need. It shows you care.

6. Try to make at least 50% of your content original.
The other option is to offer something else original
other than content, like software or an online utility.

7. Offer your visitors incentives for revisiting your
web site. You could give them new content, ebooks,
software, ezine, etc.

8. Publish a FAQs for your business, product and
web site. They could have questions about multiple
parts of your business.

9. Check all of your links on the navigational bar
to be working. If people can't get to where they want
to go, they will leave.

10. Organize you web site in logical and profitable
sequence. You don't want to give a freebie before they
learn about the product(s) you're selling. A sitemap will
be good here.

Here is a cool thread I found on Warrior. Check it out.

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/36745-3-000-45-days-2-000-30-days-600-3-days-real-warrior-case-study.html

Go register!

Summary Post.

Hi fellow Warriors:

It's no surprise to me that so many posts, comments,
and questions that I see on the Warrior forum are from
newbies trying to figure out ways to make some extra
money online. And I got to thinking, I've generated
VERY fast money online doing things that any newbie
or experienced marketer can do.

Feeling inspired by a large new deal that literally
fell into my lap, I wanted to share a few models that
either myself or my past customers have used to being
in money FAST doing things that really anyone can do.

Case study 1: Public Domain content + WordPress blog =
$3,000 profit in 45 days.

Something like that can be done 1,000,000 times. There's
no end to the content needed to make this happen. All I
did was find 3 public domain books in one of the 23
best-selling niches I've identified, and then set up
a niche WordPress blog.

I then copied and pasted the content of that book over
a period of 45 days doing 1 to 3 posts a day. I also
posted my affiliate links to related books on Amazon,
ClickBank, and Commission Junction. And of course,
AdSense. After 45 days I listed the blog for sale and
it very quickly sold for a little over $3,000.

This is a model that anyone can follow. It's dead-simple.
If you're a worker, you can develop one of these sites a
day and use the automated blog posting feature in WordPress
to post your content to free up your time.

Once your bankroll builds, you can do what I do, and
that's outsource 99% of the work. Once you're cranking
out 3-5 of these sites every single day, you can imagine
what starts to happen after 45 days if all you want to
do is flip these sites. I won't even post what your
earnings look like even selling the sites for just $1000
after 45 days.

Do the math. It works and it's proven.

I also "mini-flip" niche blogs with Public Domain
content in as little as 3 days:

I compile 1 or 2 public domain books, let´s say about
"public speaking", I choose a killer free WP theme, split
the content into 21 blog posts, setup the adsense and all
the rest, and then sell the blog 3 days later, for anything
between $200 to $600...

Not bad for 60 minutes of work.

Of course, I have a system setup, and all I do is just to
select the public domain books. All the rest is outsourced
for dirt-cheap.

Remember that:

1. Most people are lazy.

2. Not everybody knows and/or wants to setup a blog
(or anything) and fill it with good content (from the
mighty Public Domain).

Your content is great (written by great authors, not
PLR-crap ghostwriters)... and hardly indexed.

3. Therefore, there are lots of eager buyers ready to buy...

Case study 2: Setting up a 900-page AdSense site with
Public Domain articles. Sold for $1,500 in 30 days.

A student of mine needed money quickly and wanted to do a
quick flip. All he did was copy and paste 3 public domain
books into a site - 900 pages of Public Domain content,
added his AdSense ads, and then put the site up for sale.
Sold the site for $1,500.

Of course, he used software to automate the page building.

You can of course make much more by holding onto these
types of websites and building an empire (heck, now he
flips 5 sites like that each month), but sometimes you
need money fast and you can do these quick flips any time
you need to.

Case study 3: Public Domain Halloween images + mini site
= $3,000 profit in 19 days.

I found a bunch of old Halloween images that were in the
public domain.

All I did was package them up, wrote a couple of paragraphs
about what is included, showed a few examples, and offered
the whole package of images with full rights for $17. Sold
203 packages in October. Spent $300 on a few ads, total
profit: Over $3,000.

Total time it took me to put the above together - about 3
hours max.

You can build thousands of these sites in tens of thousands
of niches. The above is the smallest one I have. A similar
site I have where I used the same method makes MUCH more
than this all the time. I'm just saying this so you know
you can use the above method any time of the year. Not just
Holidays.

Case study 4: Student searches Government website, compiles
its Public Domain material, makes $2,000 first month.

This is a great overlooked niche: Student Loans.

A student friend of mine put together an ebook about student
loans. He obtained all of the information from a BIG public
domain supplier who spits out tons (millions) of content...
the US Government!

Took him a few days to put everything together, made over
$2,000 profit first month, $5,000 the second month - and
continues to sell ebooks like crazy. Where does he sell it?
On FaceBook and student forums.

Yes, someone could have easily done all of the research and
got the info for free themselves, but there is a TON of money
to be made packaging up Public Domain content and information
that anyone could obtain and selling it for massive profits.

The above are just some small case studies to show you some
quick ways you can make money with Public Domain as fast as
TODAY.

Of course there are stories about $10,000 here, $100,000
there, and even millions, but I know if I shared some of
those stories with you, most of you wouldn't think it's
possible.

The above numbers are small, so it's easy for you to say,
"yes, I can do that", and then you do.

As you start making money with Public Domain, and as more
and more rolls in, you set your goals higher... and before
you know it, making $50,000 profit in a month for a few
hours of work doesn't scare you any more.

PS: you will discover more Case Studies, insights and answers to Warriors questions throughout this entire thread.

All the best,
Kneb

How To Get Everything You Want In 24 Hours

Have you ever seen the Hugh Grant movie, About A Boy?

If you haven’t seen it you should rent it because it’s a great
movie. But if you have seen it then you’ll recognize the following
quote from Grant’s character “Will”…

I find the key is to think of a day as units of time, each unit
consisting of no more than thirty minutes. Full hours can be
a little bit intimidating and most activities take about half an
hour. Taking a bath: one unit, watching countdown: one unit,
web-based research: two units, exercising: three units, having
my hair carefully disheveled: four units. It’s amazing how the
day fills up, and I often wonder, to be absolutely honest, if I’d
ever have time for a job; how do people cram them in?

I’ll admit the title of this post is a bit misleading. It reads like
you can get everything you want “in under 24 hours” but that’s
not what I mean by it. I used this title to not only get your
attention but to demonstrate the POWER of this statement
if you fully grasp it.

In order for you to accomplish anything in life you have to learn
the power of INCREMENTAL SUCCESS. Let me explain how it
works…

It doesn’t matter what you want to accomplish… making a
million dollars, losing 50 pounds, learning to speak French, etc.
In order for you to accomplish what it is that you want you
MUST achieve your goal incrementally. There’s no other way
for it to happen - it’s IMPOSSIBLE.

No one makes a million dollars without making $1 first. No one
loses 50 pounds without losing 1 pound first. And no one becomes
fluent in French without learning how to say “bonjour” first.

So now that we’ve established that accomplishing anything you
want must come through incremental progress, then you realize
that success is created by a series of smaller accomplishments
that add up to the final goal.

The next thing for you to understand is the process of TIME UNITS.
Just as the character in About A Boy managed his entire life, you need
to understand how time is applied towards incremental progress for
ANYTHING you want to accomplish.

The main unit of time in our lives is THE DAY. That 24-hour period
that repeats again and again until one day we die. It’s what we live
our lives by. Every day is an important day and in order to accomplish
everything you want in your life you must account for each and every
day.

Do you know why the kiss of death in trying to accomplish anything
in life is the old mantra of I’ll start on it tomorrow?

And you know exactly what I’m talking about. You have that product
you want to create. The one that will make you more money. Or that
new blog to set up. Or that affiliate marketing campaign to put together.
Yet somehow you easily convince yourself, “I’ll start on it tomorrow.”

And you lose yet another day of your life that you’ll never get back
where you made ZERO INCREMENTAL PROGRESS. When we are
living any given day it’s so easy to put things off. It’s so easy to
procrastinate. It’s so easy to convince ourselves that tomorrow we’ll
start going to the gym. Tomorrow we’ll start eating healthier.
Tomorrow we’ll do some writing that we’ve been putting off.
Tomorrow we’ll start studying Japanese.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Well, there’s a reason why most people don’t accomplish that much.
There’s a reason why it seems like WEEKS or even MONTHS go by
and you haven’t accomplished things you know in your heart you
really want yet you haven’t made any progress towards them at all.

It’s because it’s so easy to put things off until tomorrow.

So Here’s What You Need To Understand…

This is exactly what changed my life when I was struggling as an
entrepreneur and really helped me break-through to finally building
wealth for myself…

If you are trying to accomplish anything, in this case growing your
income, you must do something every single day towards accomplishing
your goal. Let me repeat that…

YOU MUST DO SOMETHING EVERY SINGLE DAY TOWARDS
ACCOMPLISHING YOUR GOAL.

It doesn’t matter how big or how small this effort has to be. It just
has to be SOMETHING. So every day that passes in your life you
will incrementally be closer to getting everything you want. It’s a simple,
yet powerful concept.

If you want to lose weight, for example, then just walk 1/2 mile each
day. Not a mile. Not 5 miles. 1/2 mile. If you walk 1/2 mile each
day that’s like walking 3.5 miles a week. Walking 3.5 miles seems
pretty far to most people. But 1/2 mile is nothing. Yet you get the
same net result from walking 3.5 miles whether you accomplish it
in one day or one week.

Almost anything worth accomplishing in life seems BIG when we
look at it from “Step 1.” Everything requires incremental progress.
And most things require MANY steps to reach the finish line.

When we are faced with everything we must do to accomplish any
goal it often seems so overwhelming that it’s much easier to just
put off starting it until another day. And that day often becomes
a week, a month, a year, or more often than not… NEVER.

If you want to grow your business you must be taking action every
single day that contributes towards your goal. This doesn’t mean
checking your email more, or looking at stats more, or “doing
research” (i.e. surfing sites all day) it means putting in the work
towards creating that product, or doing some writing for an article
or blog post, or making a video you’ve been wanting to make, or
setting up a site and testing some Adwords, etc. etc.

Stop letting a single day go by when you aren’t making at least
SOME incremental progress towards ALL your goals and it is
IMPOSSIBLE that it won’t change your life for the better.

Even if it’s just a small step each day. Because that’s a step you’ll
never have to do again and you’ll be even closer to accomplishing
your goal. - John Reese

Now Back to Business!! Tips For Article Brainstorming!

10 Great And Powerful Ways To Generate Highly
Read Articles

Bryon Zirker

1. Participate in chat rooms related to your targeted audience.
Watch what questions people are asking and ask others what
information they're interested in.

2. Examine what information in being broadcast on tv, news
and talk shows. That information is usually hot topics.

3. Hang out in similar message boards. People leave questions
for information they're seeking. That is a strong indicator of
subjects to write about.

4. Survey your web site visitors or current customers. Ask
them what type of articles they would like to see published on
your web site or in your e-zine.

5. Regularly check your site's guest books. People sometimes
leave questions or comments that would help you generate high
readership articles.

6. Check online bookstore's best sellers list. They're very good
resources for finding winning topics and ideas to write about.

7. Use the time of year to come up with good topics. You could
relate your content to the holiday, season, things that happen
years ago during that time, etc.

8. Join some related e-mail discussion lists. Explore the question
being asked and the subjects people are discussing.

9. Relate your article to a current fad that's going on in your specific
industry. The topic is usually interesting to your target audience.

10. Make a file of visitor or customer questions you receive via
e-mail or phone. Usually, others have the same questions, but
never ask.

Internet Business Review

"Making a million dollars is the simplest thing in the world.
Just find a product that sells for $2000 and that you can
buy at a cost of $1000, and sell a thousand of them."

Lets Not Forget Our Attitudes!

Attitude Can Make All The Difference!

Attitude

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact
of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important
than facts. It is more important than the past, than
education, than money, than circumstances, than
failures, than success, than what other people think
or say or do. It is more important than appearance,
giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...
a church.. a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past... we cannot change the
fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot
change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is
play on the one string we have, and that is our
attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it. An so it
is with you... we are in charge of out Attitudes.

Use Online Diaries Instead Of Testimonials

Have your customers publish an online diary instead
of giving you a testimonial. The diary would include
regularly updated entries of how customers are using
your product to improve their life. You could give
customers a free product or a rebate in exchange for
them publishing it online. Your customers could write
diary entries about goals they have reached using your
product, the positive emotions it's given them, the fears
and worries your product has taken out of their lives,
how bad their lives were before they bought it, how it
has helped other people in their lives, etc.

Your customers could update it daily, weekly or monthly.
It will depend on how often they use your product. You
could publish the diary right in your ad or link directly to
the diary. You could provide the people with web space for
writing the online diary or have them e-mail you the diary
entries for you to publish.

You can make the online diary extra persuasive by also
including customer's personal profile, pictures, online video
of them using your product, net audio of them talking about
your product, even scanned hand written letters, etc. An
online diary would likely outsell the common testimonial
because it's updated on a regular basis and reveals more
personal information.

A diary is considered private which would make people more
curious to read it and believe it's legitimacy.

How To Boost Your Internet Sales Anytime

By Bryon Zirker

"If you accommodate others, you will be accommodating
yourself." -- Chinese proverb

Hold a short term discount sale on your web site. Use
the sale to get rid of excess inventory, gain new or
repeat customers, andincrease your sales. Most businesses
pick a theme for theirsale, like a Halloween Sale. Below
are six unique sales themes you could use:

Nobody's Visiting Today Sale

Every online business has low visitor and sales days
throughthe week. You know what they are. You could
sell your products or services for cheaper to increase
and sales on your slow days. You could have this
advertised right on your web site.

Time Of The Day Sale

Periodically , pick out a time of the day like five
to seven pm tolower your prices. With online sales
you need tell people the time zone. Announce your
scheduled times ahead of time in your e-zine. This
will give people enough time to plan when they will
visit your web site.

Product/Service Of The Day Sale

Each day offer different products or services at a
discounted price. This will draw people back to your
web site everyday. This is a high traffic generating
sale. If you do not have a lot of products and services
you may want to run the sale weekly or monthly.

Niche Group Sale

Hold a sale for a niche groups of people. Students,
senior citizens, single people etc. This really works
if you are introducing a new product or service for the
first time to a new target audience. Announce your sale
in a targeted e-zine, e-mail discussion groups, message
boards, etc.

Holiday/Seasonal Sale

Offer lower prices on holidays and during seasonal
changes. These type of sales let your visitors and
customers know your no scrooge. Be creative and go as
far as decorating your web site. You could upload holiday
and seasonal graphics. Change the color of your text
to match. Get in the spirit!

Get More For Your Money Sale

Give customers more products or services for their money.
People relate these kind of sales to getting a bargain
or saving money. You could offer a buy one get one for
half off sale, a buy two get the third one free, two for
the price of one sale, etc.

Cross Promote Online For Maximum Profits

By Bryon Zirker

Discussion

Cross promoting is when two or more businesses
promote their products or services together. I try
to find businesses that have the same target audience,
however are not in direct competition with my particular
business. Doing cross promotions with other businesses
increases your profits, sales, and beat your competition.

You can find businesses to cross promote everywhere on
the Internet. Participate in e-mail discussion groups, online
forums and newsgroups that relate to your target audience.
Go ahead and subscribe to e-zines that deal with your targe-
ted audience. Note on your Web site or e-zine that you are
always interested in cross promoting your products and ser-
vices. Search in your favorite web directories and search
engines to find targeted businesses.

I have found Cross promoting to have many benefits. Save
money by sharing the advertising and marketing costs.
Save time when both businesses share the workload. You
can offer your customers new products and services. Gather
referrals from the other business' clients. Receive valuable
information from the business.

Once you locate a business you would like to cross promote
with simply e-mail them your proposal. Outline the benefits
of the cross promotion. Explain to them why it would be a
win/win situation for both of your businesses. Give them a
lot of compliments about their business, Web site, products
and services. Actually using all three methods above will
increase your chance for a profitable cross promotion.

Good Luck!

"Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose
inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his
own accord will love you more than one whom you have been
at pains to attach to you." -- Samuel Johnson

10 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions

1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product you're
reselling. Start a conversation with a person without trying
to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention
the product you're reselling.

2. Create a free ebook with the advertisement and link of
your affiliate web site. The subject of the free ebook should
draw your target audience to down-load it. Also submit it
to some ebook directories.

3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large
number of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory
format on your web site. Then just advertise your free
affiliate program directory.

4. Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the other
affiliates use the same ads you do, that does not give you
an edge over your competition. Use a different ad to give
yourself an advantage over all the other affiliates.

5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you've
actually bought the product or service for the affiliate
program. Tell people what kind of benefits and results
you've received using the product.

6. Advertise the product you're reselling in your signature
file. Use an attention getting headline and a good reason for
them to visit your affiliate site. Make sure your sig file
doesn't go over 5 lines.

7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type of
people that would be interested in buying the product
you're reselling. You could also trade links on your own
with other related web sites.

8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people's questions, and ask
your own questions. Include your affiliate text link under
each message you post.

9. Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise the
affiliate programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to
online ezine directories and promote it on your web site.

10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus if people
buy the product you resell. You could also allow people to
join for free and you could advertise the affiliate program
you've joined.

and good personality will, in the long run, get the equivalent

he has ability and determination, he will find ways to learn
and to get ahead." -- Edward G. Seubert

Fast Money

A lot of people ask the question---How can I make this or that
amount of money fast? It seems many people are looking to
get some amount of money instantly it seems with no real work
or action involved other that to possess it. The thing that is
funny is that they even ask the question in the first place. If
you think about it carefully you would think about how money
works and lives. Money is very dynamic. Money does not grow
on trees, fall from the sky or get pulled from a magic hat.

Ok with that said my question is what is ones definition of fast?
If it is less than one minute then good luck unless some one nearby
that has the amount needed sitting in their wallet and they are
willing to part with it voluntarily.

Here are some ideas for getting money fast. These of course are
not guaranteed and are for the purpose of example.

1. If it is one hour get on the phone and call everyone you can and
ask for it whether a donation or a loan. If the money is survival
money (to be used to eat and stay warm) call your church or local
rescue charity.

2. If it is one day, go out and ask everyone you can if they need a
task done that they may not have time to do and how much they
would pay for it and get to work, ok do it now.

3. If it is one week Craigslist, Ebay or Garage Sale some stuff. I
know that I have a house full of things I could sell if I needed to.

4. If one month get a job delivering pizzas..........fast! Or go mow
lawns, wash cars or clean houses.

5. Two to three months-look into grants. It takes some time to
fill out the forms!

6. If it is one year start and grow a business!

Just In! New Easy Income Stream!

I just now took the time to check out and sign
up for the 7 Dollar Mall after learning about it in
one of my favorite Forums!

The cool part is its FREE to get it going!

Also here are a few posts from the forum regarding
the 7 Dollar Mall.

"I'm not normally one to go off into a tangent about
a mall or similar product, but I was recently fortunate
enough to be associated with the 7DollarMall, which by
anyone's standards is going to command a massive
Internet presence.

Unlike most other malls that I have personally seen
this one will actually appeal to both buyers and
affiliates due to some of the really beneficial
products, and not one of them over the $7 mark making
it not only affordable, but also practical.

On the affiliate side, get this you can actually
register and get a complete commission earning Mall
100% FREE! All you need is a PayPal account and your
set.

I have to say and you can probably gather I'm really
more than impressed with this program and I know it
is going to be one of my big earners for 2008. It is
so versatile and can be incorporated into your normal
business activities in so many ways that you'd have
to be a martian to not make money."

"Since writing the above yesterday I have also had
two people join. While ordinarily with a program this
would not be unusual, it certainly is here because the
only place I have mentioned The 7 Dollar Mall so far
is here. Those people are no fool's, they were certainly
not spurred to join by what I said, so I can only assume
it was by what they read themselves. I'm still adding
some of the finishing touches to me new website, but
when it is all done and launched it is going to be
awesome. Plus then I will get a major campaign
underway for The & Dollar Mall. Due to the possibilities
with this program I really am surprised that there has
not been a lot more feedback. "

" have had an upgraded $7 Mall, which I promote using
this Squidoo lens, for almost a year and it has paid
for itself 10 times over.

I am using another one that promotes resale rights
products. You can check it out here and pick up a free
e-book just for taking a look at it. With this one you
will need you own domain name and web hosting service.
I use HostMonster which is a much better deal than
HostGator. It comes with all the bells and whistles,
you get a free domain name with it and the customer
services and tech support is superb."

Do yourself a favor and check out 7 Dollar Mall
carefully. It could very well produce a nice additional
stream of income, at the very least some additional
marketing dollars for your other campaign's.

10 Advantages of Using Link Building Services

Show Me How To Launch 6 Streams Of *Automated* Affiliate Income Streams In Just 24 Hours!

By Derek Rogers

Link-building is an important part of any website. The whole idea behind it, similar to the political quote: I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.
It begins quite simply. You search for sites that attract you because of their complementary content to your business. You send an email, asking the web master to link to your site. The next thing you know, that site's readers become customers at yours. It's really that easy.
Still not convinced? Check out the following reasons to use link building on your site:
1. Many are free. Nothing's cheaper than free, and it doesn't cost you anything to shoot an email over to a site's publisher and ask for a little mutual traffic exchange.
2. Build credibility. When you write articles and submit them to article directories, you help make yourself known as an expert in your field. Because these articles include a resource box where you list your website, you get a free link every time someone uses it or finds it on a search engine.
3. Boost your relevant traffic. By choosing which sites give you a link, you are hand picking the customers that will come to your site. Since you know who will benefit the most from what you have to offer, it makes sense for you to seek out the websites that would attract your buyers.
4. Make connections with others in your niche. By talking to web masters about including your site in their links, you are also building relationships. When you make connections on a personal level, people will recommend you to their friends.
5. Less expensive than traditional advertising. Web campaigns can get expensive. While many link building programs are free, there are many paid programs that allow you great traffic. You will need to stick with a site for about a month to see results.
6. Your site becomes newsworthy. When you submit press releases on your site, it becomes news. And news draws traffic.
7. Use other sites established traffic to build your own, without taking away from them. Because these sites are complementary and not competitors, you are not stealing any traffic. Their readers will come to their site and check out the usual points of interest, and then head over to yours.
8. Creep up in Google and other search engine rankings. Another site's popularity will increase your position on the search pages. The more links you have, the better you look. Certain sites can get you listed on Google in 24 hours.
9. Learn which sites bring you the right people. You have total control over your link building program. When a site works, you keep the exchange going. But you don't have to be stuck with sites that give you spikes in traffic with no results.
10. Increase sales by partnering with the most popular site. Find the most popular site in your niche and partner up with them. You may get a broader range of people, but your sales will thank you for doing it.
These are just a few reasons why a link exchange program is important. Look around at others who are doing it, and how successful they are. Then get out there and duplicate it.

Internet Marketing:The Business of Choice

By Bryon Zirker

As I do business research online I can not help but
see the mountain of Internet affiliate businesses
that are offered.There are hundreds to choose from
in as many products and services areas.

It seems that affiliate marketing is the business model
of choice on the internet today. People are joining
affiliate companies by the thousands, in fact with the
advent of the “multiple streams of income”model people
are joining more than one company as an affiliate.

I am actually an affiliate for some major player
companies on the internet myself and find it quite fun to
work on building my internet presence with blogs, link
exchanging, articles, list building, video, forums free ads,
paid ads and more.

I like the work and it can be done from any place at any
time. The only draw back for most people who choose to
enter the affiliate scene is usually time. Most people start
part time and are likely to have a regular JOB.

This puts a limit on the amount of time available to
build a business. The cool thing is that it can be done even
if just one hour per week were available to do it. Money
is usually not an issue due to the fact that most affiliate
businesses can be started for next to nothing in up front
cash outlay.

A great benefit to starting an Internet affiliate business
is the huge amount of information to be had online, and
a lot of it costs nothing.There are of course hundreds or
thousands of tools that can be purchased to assist in
building an online affiliate business many of which are
designed to make the process more stream-lined and
hands free. Many of these very tools are offered through
affiliate programs.

In fact one great resource for internet marketing tools
is Clickbank, a large online store if you will, for digital
products. It is very easy to sign up and use. Someone
looking for a good product to sell as an affiliate could
start by checking out Clickbank's database of products.
You can use Clickbank to sell your own digital product
as well.

I like the Internet affiliate model. I can set one affiliate
business upget an email list going, do some low/no cost
advertising and get it making some income and then
move on to another one. I always make sure it is making
money before starting on a new one though.

Billions of dollars are being generated through affiliate
marking each year on the internet. No wonder that it is
an alluring way to make income. Some affiliate marketers
are doing very, very well and have been able to leave
the usual 40-40-40 plan of life which is work 40 hours
a week for 40 years of your life just to end up living on
40 percent of what you where used to when you retire.

Just go to any search engine and search on “affiliate
marketing” for more information.

Worth the read: Seth Godin "How to Be
Remarkable"

I found this and thought of all of us who
are working on doing something remarkable,
enjoy the read.

1- Understand the urgency of the situation.
Half-measures simply won't do. The only way
to grow is to abandon your strategy of doing
what you did yesterday, but better. Commit.

2- Remarkable doesn't mean remarkable to
you. It means remarkable to me. Am I going
to make a remark about it? If not, then you're
average, and average is for losers.

3- Being noticed is not the same as being
remarkable. Running down the street naked
will get you noticed, but it won't accomplish
much. It's easy to pull off a stunt, but not
useful.

4- Extremism in the pursuit of remarkability
is no sin. In fact, it's practically a requirement.
People in first place, those considered the best
in the world, these are the folks that get what
they want. Rock stars have groupies because
they're stars, not because they're good looking.

5- Remarkability lies in the edges. The biggest,
fastest, slowest, richest, easiest, most difficult.
It doesn't always matter which edge, more that
you're at (or beyond) the edge.

6- Not everyone appreciates your efforts to
be remarkable. In fact, most people don't. So
what? Most people are ostriches, heads in the
sand, unable to help you anyway. Your goal
isn't to please everyone. Your goal is to please
those that actually speak up, spread the word,
buy new things, or hire the talented.

7- If it's in a manual, if it's the accepted
wisdom, if you can find it in a "Dummies" book,
then guess what? It's boring, not remarkable.
Part of what it takes to do something
remarkable is to do something first and best.
Roger Bannister was remarkable. The next
guy, the guy who broke Bannister's record
wasn't. He was just faster ... but it doesn't
matter.

8- It's not really as frightening as it seems.
They keep the masses in line by threatening
them (us) with all manner of horrible
outcomes if we dare to step out of line. But
who loses their jobs at the mass layoffs? Who
has trouble finding a new gig? Not the
remarkable minority, that's for sure.

9- If you put it on a T-shirt, would people
wear it? No use being remarkable at
something that people don't care about.
Not ALL people, mind you, just a few. A
few people insanely focused on what you
do is far far better than thousands of people
who might be mildly interested, right?

10- What's fashionable soon becomes
unfashionable. While you might be remarkable
for a time, if you don't reinvest and reinvent,
you won't be for long. Instead of resting on
your laurels, you must commit to being
remarkable again quite soon.

More Traffic-Build Traffic

I happened to find this post on one of the forums that I visit
and post to. Just another way to generate traffic for your sites.

-Bryon

"As much as that headline sounds like a sales pitch it's not, I just
wanted to point out a way you can do this (and I have) that is
really actually pretty cool. There is a site out there called Digg
where people can "vote" for new stories on the web that they
think are cool that other people post. Their are quite a few
categories, so chances are if you have a blog it will fit into
one of the categories.

So I have a gaming blog, and I thought I would post some
"original" stories and submit a couple to digg. The hard, or
maybe luck part is getting the first 10 or 15 diggs, aka votes
for your story. Once you get 15 or so, many more people will
start checking it out, and if your story is worthy it could get
digg'ed a lot, and visited even MORE.

After a couple of lackluster submissions, one of the stories I
submitted started getting a few digg's, when I went to bed it
had about 20 or so. But when I woke up and checked on it, it
had gotten over 300 diggs, and over 5000 unique visitors to
my blog! The next couple of days the story got up to 500 digg's
and I got a couple more thousand unique visitors. Unfortunately
the story was mainly a video clip on my blog, so I think that
most people just watched the video clip and left (ignoring my
adsense) but I still made about $5.00 out of the traffic, lol.

My next step is to try and duplicate this success, but first
implement a better way to profit from this traffic. Maybe put
some clickbank items up for "video game testing", or something
of the like. Will have to think on it a bit.

But anyways, just wanted to point out this way to generate
some huge traffic if you are lucky enough to get digg'ed by a
lot of people. It might take a lot of luck, and a pretty cool story,
but I know now it is definately do-able."

Note: "Digg.com is a social bookmarking site. You can share
websites that you find cool or useful with the entire world.
When people like the site too, they digg it. When you like a
site, you bookmark it, and you are the only one who knows
that site is great.

With Digg.com, you bookmark the same site on the Digg website,
you add a tag (keyword,description) to it, and the whole world can
see that you like this site. Instead of keeping your bookmarks
private, you can make them public. It is the new web, the web
2.0 where people control the content, and not robots. "

Your Affiliate Business-"Do It Now" Internet Marketing

By Bryon Zirker

Becoming an affiliate online marketer is one of the simplest
and rewarding business models I know of. The cash outlay
is minimal and the time frame for start up is a lot quicker
than a traditional business.

Some research is definitely required in order to sift through
the fluff of "easy money and "get rich quick" online schemes
that flood the online world today. It can be done and one
should seriously consider an online affiliate business as a way
to build multiple online income streams.

An online affiliate business is also one of the best ways to gain
the skills that you need to succeed online.

Most online "Guru's" fail to tell you that you need to go through
a learning curve with online marketing. This learning curve can
be an excruciating and costly trip if you do not follow someone’s
lead who has gained the needed experience already.

Some have spent years before becoming successful online. The
key then is to keep the learning curve short and the expense low.
Following a step by step plan is therefore very crucial and necessary.
If you do not, you will find yourself a first year casualty of online
marketing.

With affiliate marketing you have an advantage in that you can
get one business up and running and then move to another and
another. Some online marketers have several online affiliate
businesses running on autopilot with very little maintenance
required. As you grow your online business, the income gained
can open up doors for other projects, some of which can be your
own creation.

Bringing traffic to your affiliate websites is key to your online
business success. Learning traffic generation techniques is
usually covered within the training that you receive from a
reputable affiliate business. This allows anyone who actually
follows the step by step plan to succeed.

If you are seriously considering starting your own online
business, do some research into affiliate programs. Find
one that is simple to start, low cost to start and has a step
by step business plan to follow. Once you have accomplished
this task (which by the way is the easiest part) you then must
treat your new endeavor as a business. Work smart, work
consistently and you will see your business grow and then
success will come.

Good business journey to you.

Building Your Own List

You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After
reading countless articles and sought expert advices and
have read many success stories of people creating a small
fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of
your own.

Then it happens, you think you have known everything
there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their
advices to the T and you still weren't able to make a profit.
In fact, you may be losing money.

You may be hiring writers to help you out, or there are
some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but
only a very small percentage actually buys from you,
your still losing profit. You'll realize that after a few
months when you see your statistics and sales figures.
So what could have gone wrong?

Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The
most common mistake is that you dived straight right in.
You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular
and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just
because you wrote people from the list doesn't mean they
are going to buy instantly.

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started
an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your
failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three
quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.

1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first.
Just launching your opt-inlist would not make you an expert
and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you
start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have
started and used for your site.

Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your
customers about their wants and needs and target
those wants and needs. Join forums from other sites
as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations.
When you feel that people trust you already, you will
be able to start your own opt-inlist. You can build a
base as well with other forum users. You can ask
them to join your list.

Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your
site so that they may be able to see what you're business
is all about. The certain truth is, the money will only come
in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in
you. They want a product or service that could be a good
exchange for their money.

People are not going to buy something out of your
recommendation if they don't know you.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need.
Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service
and product that you have researched and learned about
well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort
and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or
subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have
interest in, there are not many people who have the same
interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not
entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and
you would see the profits come in. Also provide your
subscribers with promotional material that they could
actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically
beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched
a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the
experience in this venture and experience is still the best
teacher. While there are many articles available for you in
the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand
account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to
do and what not to do because they have gone through it.
While different situations occur for different people, the
general concept can still be very helpful. There are many
things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which
ones. Building a profitable opt-in list don't just happen
overnight.

There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists
are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also
maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and
manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure
that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they
will be willing to buy from you.

Building Your Business Online Or OfflineBy Bryon Zirker

So you have a great business idea. You have the plan in
place to get it set up and ready to sell your products.
You buy or build your location. In the case of an online
business you construct your website. You fill it with
equipment, supplies and products. What ever it is you
are now ready to sell.

Paying for and setting up your business is the easy part
Getting customers to come and buy your goods or services
is the permanent on going challenge of all businesses.

Marketing 101

When you get into business the most important aspect of
running the business is marketing. Getting the word out.
Making it visible. Establishing a following.

Marketing takes on many various forms, all geared toward
one goal, getting your prospective customer to buy your
service or product. But that is not the end. You also want
your new customer to return and buy again and again.

Lets say you buy and set up a subway shop. It has four
walls a door and is fully stocked and ready for business.
There are no windows, no signs, no advertising to speak of.
How many sales do you think you might make your first day?
I would guess zero sales.

Now what if we put some large windows in the walls and door?
Windows that make it possible to see that this is obviously
a sandwich shop. Now people who wander by may stop in and
buy a sandwich from you. Some sales coming in. Now lets say
you put a few signs up or paint the windows with some special
of the day. It would be great to celebrating your grand opening.

Now we call the local newspaper and run some ads. You submit
an editorial detailing your grand opening and you as the owner.
You could put a professional looking sign on your vehicle
advertising your business. The ideas go on and on.

So you see if there is no marketing going on there is no
business to speak of.

I am making these points because so many people do not
put enough weight on the marketing side of their business.
Especially people who start an online business. With a
traditional business a marketing budget is put in place
and grows with the sales growth of the business.

People who start an online business are led to believe
that they can start the business buy signing up either
for free or a small fee, get a website and a few
instructions on how to proceed, and then sit and
wait for the money to roll in. Well it never just rolls in.

Passive income does not mean a person can be passive
with their business.

Some fact to consider. 80% of offline businesses fail within
the first year. 95% of online businesses fail the first few
months.

Marketing your business is not only necessary it is
mandatory if you want to succeed. For those who start online
businesses, I have found in the beginning using whatever
free marketing avenues you can find is a wise way to go.

I personally have found great success in marketing with
article submissions. I create an articlelike this one and
then submit it to hundreds of article sites.It has links
to my website(s) which will help drive my websiteup in
the search engines and drive traffic to my website.

I also use blogging to get the word out. There are other
ways such as free ads sites, traffic sites, and email lists.
Also do not forget that marketing offline is a great way to
supplement your marketing efforts. What ever you decide to
put together as your marketing plan do it in massive quantity.

Now you have to throw in the final ingredient which is time.
With an offline business it may take months to years to become
profitable. Usually this lag time is compensated for by an
existing operating cash fund for a certain amount of time.

An online business could start making money the first day.
Chances are though that it will take a few months to start
making money and longer to get into profit. All the while
you must keep marketing. Set budget and stick to it. Use
free marketing when ever possible.

The rewards of an online business can far out weigh the
rewards of an offline business. You can literally get an
online business on autopilot and then move on and build
another one. You can accomplish things much faster online.

To summarize. Marketing your business is the most important
activity once you have put out the open for business sign.
Remember if you are not marketing your business you have no
business.

4 Steps to a Successful Internet Business

By Ken Evoy, M.D.

Anyone with motivation can create a profitable website. But many people
fail because they fail to recognize and act upon the profound difference
between offline and online commerce.

Offline, it's all about "location, location, location." Locate your business
where people crowd by ... and you're all set. Get your cash register ready!
Online, however, small businesses fail to act on the fundamental reality of
how people use the Web. No one "passes by." They search for "information,
information, information."

To make your website a success, all you have to do is take what you
know ... your own particular area of expertise ... and use a four-step
process to turn it into money.

1. Content

Web users search for information, for solutions. They're not looking for you -
they want what you know. Give it to them by way of information-based pages
on your website or through a useful and informative e-newsletter. And remember
to "keep it real" by sticking to what you know.

2. Traffic

Once you've filled your site with high-quality, natural, and focused content,
you'll rank highly on the search engines (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN). And a
high ranking means you'll attract free, targeted (i.e., interested), open-to-you
visitors almost automatically.

3. PREsell

It's all about "over-delivering." Make sure you provide useful, relevant,
reliable information - on your website and in your e-newsletter - and
complete strangers will develop trust and confidence in you.

4. Monetize

Once you've proven that your information is useful, relevant, and reliable,
you'll have no trouble converting your site visitors into dollars. (Of course,
the products you sell must also be high-quality, relevant, and useful.)

It's so simple. Not easy (real business takes some work) ... but simple.
No technical barriers to stop you. Provide in-demand information ("Content")
about something you know. From that point on, everything flows ...

Multiply Your Efforts With Multiple Income Streams

by: Daegan Smith

With the current economic crises prevailing around us, it is not surprising to hear of companies that are shutting down or workers being layed off of their jobs. People are in constant worry of the possible downturns that may occur, be it in their careers, businesses, or investments, and so they recognize the importance of ‘not putting their eggs in one basket’ by venturing in multiple streams of income.

Why Multiple Income Streams?

There are several reasons why people should not limit themselves to a single business venture:

- The primary source of income may no longer be profitable. This may be due to an increase in overhead costs or a decline in revenue as a result of an unpredictable market that is in constant demand for new products and services.

- Personal preference. People may find themselves losing interest with their primary income source and would like to go into other business opportunities.

Whatever the reasons are, the trick is to “think plural” and consider getting into multiple ventures.

How to do it?

Perhaps the major setback that one may find in having to deal with multiple income streams is the problem of maintaining focus and pursuing multiple projects at the same time. This is true for almost all the tasks that we carry out in our everyday lives, that we often find ourselves not accomplishing much at the end of the day.

The need to focus in order to get a job done may seem to contradict the goal of dealing with numerous opportunities, and yet this is what every person should aim for when dealing with multiple streams of income.

The following are a few suggestions on how to go into, and cope with, the pressures of growing multiple business opportunities:

1. Ideas are important. A lot of people have been guilty of coming up with great ideas and forgetting about them, only to turn out to be a hit later when pursued by another person. In order to prevent this from happening, ensure that all your ideas are captured. Record your thoughts and store them either in your computer or in a manual file.

2. Organize your system. You have recorded and filed your ideas about a new income opportunity, and you have thought of something to add to them afterwards. The problem is, you cannot find them, and you end up wasting your time looking for them. Having an organized system enables you to have an instant access to everything that you need, whenever you need them.

3. Turn your ideas into reality. Never fear of putting your ideas into action, especially if you think that it has potential. Consult other people, especially prospective customers, if you must, but at the same time, be very cautious of these new ideas before working on them.

4. Do it one at a time. This is a problem for most people who, when given numerous tasks, often get them going all at the same time, going back and forth from one to the other and finding themselves getting nowhere in the process. This is where maintaining focus in the middle of several projects is important – do them one at a time until they reach the point that they are income generating and can stand on their own before moving on to start another one.

5. Time management. The key to maintaining the balance between multiple income streams is proper time management. It not only makes you efficient, but it also makes you effective in carrying out different jobs simultaneously. Making a schedule using tools such as the Daily Planner or a software program would enable you to focus on specific goals and prioritize things while minimizing time waste. It would also enable you to set standards and track your progress on your projects.

6. Learn to accommodate changes. An organized system and proper time management skills are not the only things that matter in dealing with multiple income streams – after all, we cannot control (and change) time, and unforeseen events come up sometimes. The important thing is for us to learn how to adapt to these changes and still manage to stay on track.

With the guidelines mentioned above, every person would now be able to handle multiple projects – without having to deal with the stress and the pressures that go with them.

Business, Money and Entrepreneurial Thoughts

Business, Money how you think about business and money
are important. Try these ideas about money and business.

1. It has to be a business that gives you an emotional high.

2. Do not go into anything that is labor or inventory intensive.

3. Have independant market research done on the feasibility of
your idea.

4. Do not think someone is waiting to steal your idea, its paranoia.

5. Do not get started on a real business until you have someone
(wife, husband, family member) who will listen to your dreams,
sympathize with your failures and applaud your successes.

6. Never involve yourself in any service or product that requires
a consumer attitude change.

7. Do not invest on home run schemes. Invest in what you like and know.

8. Find a lifelong mentor as soon as possible. Have him continually
play devils advocate.

9. Make sure you are not just buying yourself a job. Have an exit
point or harvest plan to cash out.

10. Do a self awareness training.

11. Pick a charity (other than religious) or a charitable activity
where you have nothing to gain, and work at it every year.

12. Do some charitable acts each year in secret.

13. Keep a notepad by your bed at night. Your best ideas or thoughts
may come then.

14. Get a week-at-a-glance planner. Each weekend make out a 3x5 card
for the activities you plan to accomplish.

15. You do not need to keep 51% to control your company.

16. Find an aggressive banker and CPA, send them referrals and
Christmas presents.

17. Be willing to take major risks, but be aware of risk versus reward.

18. Have someone else do all your serious negotiating for you.

19. Take 5 years plus to get through college, take six months to a year
and find what your really want to do.

20. Remember that you will learn much more from your mistakes and failures
than your successes.

21. Trust everyone, but be aware that most people shade the facts and lie part of the time.

22. Live in the nicest, most expensive home that you can. It will alter your perception of yourself and the way others view you.

23. Remember that with each successful venture there was a time when the
entrepreneur wished he had never seen it.

24. Expect to be sued-its normal-have the attitude that its the person
who is sueing that has the problem.

25. Never sue unless there is realestate that can be attached.

26. Expect to become wealthy-do a financial statement on yourself each quarter.

27. Realize that money is power and can be used for great good.

the other see's the stars"

Home Office Set Up
By Bryon Zirker

Building a home office is really very simple. Certain
things to consider would be a home office desk and
chair, a home office phone, and a home office
computer.

It might be a good idea to get a home office computer
desk system that includes a space for the computer
and additional desk space for a work area all in one.
You will need to make sue that you have plenty of
space to work with, whether you are using the phone
or computer.

Once you decide on a home office design, it is time
to look for the specific items that you want. My home
office includes the computer desk system, the phone,
a computer, a few shelves and a printer.

I use my computer the most as my business activities
are mostly online. I rarely use the phone for business.

Home office organization is fun. I used garage sales
and Ebay for ideas. I did not spend a lot of money on
the items that I put in my home office. I have already
mentioned that garage sales or Ebay are great places
to look for home office items.

I recommend checking the classifieds online and in
news papers, flea marketand swap meets. Check with
people that you know, who may have stored items they
plan to sell or give away. Other places might include
thrift stores and used furniture type outlets.

So where now do you put your office. Obviously if you
have a spare room or space in your home use that. If
your home has a den space use that. I use a spare
room in the basement area for my home office. I have
heard of people using an area in there garage for a
home office set up.

The main thing to remember is to be able to work from
your home office with minimal distractions. I can
close myself in by shutting the door to emerge hours
later with a lot of work behind me.

The main point here concerning home office set up is
to get it done quick and inexpensively with the items
that are necessary for the business to function
properly.

Remember too, that the items are tax deductible in
most cases and the space that you use may be tax
deductible also. Check the tax laws where you reside
to be sure of what is and what is not deductible.

So what are you waiting for? Get that home office
set up and put your open for business face on.

3 Personality Traits of an Entrepreneur

by Marnie Pehrson

One time while conversing with Sherry Lowry, a business success coach. She characterized some of my observations about the nature of a successful entrepreneur and how it includes the personalities you find in the workplace:

The Visionary has the ability to look at the overall picture, the long view. The visionary gives you the passion, the fuel, and the drive to keep going.

The Strategist does the planning, figures out the ''how'' of doing things, making sure all the steps are in place and everything gets done.

The Technician actually does the details of the job. Technicians often fall in love with the process of doing.

Each of us has these three personalities within us to varying degrees, but one characteristic tends to dominate our personality. A successful entrepreneur is at least 50 percent the visionary. The strategist and the technician personalities either get lost in the details or lose sight of the overall objective. Don't get me wrong, all three of these personalities are necessary to get the job done. The Visionary often has a hard time coming up with the plan and has even a tougher time with minute details. A successful organization needs a ''Visionary'' to keep the others motivated and on track.

You can develop and enhance your visionary characteristics. In my own life, I've become aware of my tendency to migrate through three phases. I've given them different names.
The Creative Phase You want to write, philosophize, come up with new ideas, are driven and motivated.

(The Visionary)
The Productive Phase you just want to get the job done, doing tasks that don't take a lot of creative thought, but require work and time.

(The Technician)
The Organizational Phase The time for cleaning up after the solid production phase - organizing files, planning a new strategy, organizing your time and your life.

(The Strategist)
I've seen myself go through these three phases repeatedly over the years, each lasting 1-2 weeks each. And it's very helpful to recognize which phase you're in so you can take best advantage of it, and not become frustrated when you can't (for example) be creative in your productive phase. I've recently learned how to stay in the creative phase longer. Focus on the following:

Who you are
Where you want to go -- your overall goals and mission
Doing what you are ideally suited to do
As I've pulled all my various projects into one common focus, I've noticed an increase in the time I spend in the creative phase.

In summary, to be successful in your own business or as an entrepreneur, you need to spend at least 50 percent of your time in the creative, visionary phase. In order to do this,
Work with your gifts. – Focus on what you are truly suited to do best. This makes you happy, which keeps you motivated, which feeds your ability to be motivated, have passion, and stay driven.

Delegate or eliminate aspects of your work that that you don’t like or don’t do well.
Create an overall mission or focus for your life and your work and live in harmony with it.
Don't be frustrated if you're not the Visionary type. Every successful organization needs a good strategist to figure out how to accomplish what the visionary dreams up. And every organization needs good technical people to do the tasks outlined by the strategists. No matter what your personality, though, you'll be happiest when you do what you are ideally suited to do.

Work At Home Not At Work
By Bryon Zirker

Home Based Business Challenge

A home based business is something many people
dream of owning. They imagine all the money they
will make and the freedom they will enjoy. Many
people actually realize their dream.

There are those that turn what they may doing at
work into a home based business. Some turn their
favorite hobby into a business. Many people come
up with an idea or find a business that interest
them and then go forward with it.

Many things come into play with this process of
Entrepreneurship. Making this kind of move is very
unnerving to some because of the bold thrust into
the unknown that it requires, not to mention leaving
the security of a good job.

The best plan of action is to start a business part
time working as many hours on it that you can aside
from your regular job until the business is making
as much or more than the job. Then before making the
jump from your job into full time business make
sure to pay off most or all debts with the exception
of your home. Then put six months to a years worth of
income in a savings account.

I made that leap years ago when I actually purchased
my first business. I must say it was scary. I was
worried about all the things that I would need, such
as knowledge, money, supplies, office location, business
tools, etc.

I was lucky that the person who sold this
business to me actually helped me get established with
suppliers and customers as well as helped me get into
the operation of the business. Basically he showed
me the ropes.

I actually ran my new business from home for over
nine years. My first home based business was a success.

I look back at that experience and try to recall the
some of the keys to my success. I came up with a
list.

First. I found a business to buy and bought it.

Second. I learned the business as fast as I could.

Third. I had a mentor in the beginning to help me
get going. I wasted no time in getting to know my
suppliers and customers.

Fourth. I was consistent in my working hours and
kept learning and applying new strategies to make
things run better and smoother.

Fifth. I took time to enjoy the fruits from my
business. I had more time and money to work with.

I know the two most important factors in my success
were a quick decision and a lot of action in the
beginning.

There are a lot less things to consider when starting
a home based business. It is easier to get going more
quickly. In my opinion everyone should start their own
business but alas there are those who will never give
it a try.

I love the ideal of being independent of a time clock
and a boss breathing down my neck. It frees your mind
up and allows your creativity to grow and flourish.
The idea of designing ones life the way you would
have it.

Some people catch the business bug and end up creating
many new businesses, keeping some and selling some. In
the process they end up making their lives better,
creating jobs in some cases.

Internet Marketing Business

Millions in Internet Sales in 5 Easy Steps

By Clayton Makepeace

I imagine a time when I'll be telling my grandchildren about the Good Ole Days of Internet marketing. When we could just blast an offer - almost any offer - to our customer file (or even ice-cold prospect names), then sit back and watch an avalanche of orders come pouring in.

The money was absolutely amazing back then. When one of my clients e-mailed a single note to his 35,000 customers back in the mid-1990s, he raked in $12 million in less than a week!

Those huge opportunities are still out there. But you've got to work a little bit harder for them ... and you've got to know what you're doing.

The question is: "Why?" The answer is obvious: When Web-based marketing was new - and still relatively rare - just about every one of your prospects and customers read every word of every promotion sent to them.

But that's not so anymore. Good sales messages are lost among the scores of junk messages that slither into our inboxes. Overly aggressive spam filters are not only blocking promotional e-mails that we've asked to receive - they're even trashing non-commercial e-mails to and from family, friends, and clients. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The entire Internet is awash with ads. Try to get a report from Weather.Com or check the stock market on Big Charts. Pop-ups and pop-unders galore!

It was bound to happen. Since the dawn of time, every new marketing innovation to come down the pike has gone through the same 4-phase response cycle:

Phase One - Advent: Innovative businesses and marketers discover a new advertising medium or technique that proves to be far superior to traditional methods. Advertisers' return on investment (ROI) skyrockets ...
Phase Two - Proliferation: Hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands of businesses and marketers discover the secret and begin using it. ROI begins to flag ...
Phase Three - Saturation: The novelty wears off. Consumers, besieged by advertising messages, begin tuning out. ROI begins to decline ...
Phase Four - Maturity: With its novelty spent and ROI falling, the once-vastly-superior new medium or technique eventually takes its place as an equal among many in the advertiser's arsenal.
Today, we are clearly in Phase Three of the Internet marketing explosion.

Here are some simple ideas to boost response in these saturated days ...

STEP #1. Pick the low-hanging fruit.

Establish a relationship with your customers and continue to offer them products that will help them. For these wonderful people, create an extremely low-cost, multi-step e-mail campaign: A series of short, daily blasts announcing the new product and the reasons why the customer should jump on board right away ... re-announcing your new product ... asking why you haven't yet heard from them ... etc.

If your prospects perceive that your e-mail messages are just crass attempts to sell them something, they might be instantly deleted. If, on the other hand, your e-mails are perceived as timely and sincere offers to help the recipient in some way, your sales message is far more likely to be read and responded to.

And so, for urgency and readership, began each e-mail with valuable information or advice related to a fast-breaking piece of news from their world. The subject line and opening copy of each blast needs to be new each day - as fresh as each day's headlines - and reward prospects for reading the sales message.

Next, make the connection between the breaking news and your new product - and demonstrate how the product could generate huge rewards for the reader in the days ahead.

Finally, insert copy justifying the price and asking for the order.

STEP #2. Get fence-sitters to a "tipping-point" website.

While a significant group of loyal customers can be counted on to buy in response to a short e-mail, the short copy will leave at least 90% of your prospects sitting on the fence. To sell them, you'll need longer copy - more reasons to buy now - than could be presented in a five- or six-paragraph e-mail.

One way to do this is to create an "Urgent Special Report" online through a small, cheap website. Then, maybe in the second week of your campaign, begin sending e-mails to your prospects urging them to click a link in order to read the free report immediately. You'll find that a number of "fence-sitters" will respond.

STEP #3. Exploit other low-cost or free media.

Simply take the pages of copy from the little website you've created ... write a new headline and opening copy ... turn it into a special report ... and have it inserted in the next issue of your print newsletter.

At the same time, ask your phone operators to include a pitch for the product on all in-bound calls from customers. And include an insert offering the free online report in your outbound welcome packages that new subscribers receive.

STEP #4. Show up where they least expect you.

Two weeks after the newsletter insert hits your prospects' mailboxes, hit them up again. This time with a full direct-mail package created to promote the product, formatted as a free special report or "thank-you" bonus for loyal customers.

Anyone who hasn't bought by this time probably hasn't read past the headline and lead-in copy. So make sure the first three pages or so are always fresh. Beyond that, the copy stays pretty much unchanged.

STEP #5. Get tenacious.

Two weeks after the big package hits their mailboxes, stuff it into an envelope, add a one-page letter asking "Why haven't I heard from you?" ... and drop it in the mail.

The Final Result
The combined effect of the e-mail campaign, the website, the inserts in your print newsletter, and two direct mailings will have a multiplying effect on response.

Internet Marketing Online Success
By Bryon Zirker

Internet Marketing Online Success

Internet Marketing seems very overwhelming at first.
With online internet marketing getting your website
put together, your splash page(s), your Adsense, your Adwords,
Ezine advertising, the ad tracking, writing articles, Viral
marketing, a Blog, linking, SEO, any affiliate sites,
traffic generation, autoresponders, list building and
more you might think to yourself man what am I doing?

If you are new and trying to learn what all of the above
mentioned things are, and how to use them is like a college
education in itself. Internet marketing can get really crazy
and you may feel like information overload is taking place
in your mind. This can lead to well, a lot of nothing as
you become frozen and inactive. So What do you do then.
Well this should be obvious to most but those who may be
new to business in general here are some good suggestions.
Break internet marketing into little pieces!

First you need to decide on what it is you will be marketing.
Is it a hard product or soft product, meaning is it shipped
or downloaded. You will need to set up your website ready
to take orders. Learning to do it yourself is possible and
takes time. Paying someone to do it saves time and has a
definite cost attached.

Part of this process involves setting up a budget for
operating and advertising. There are many ways to
advertise for little or no out of pocket cost. One
of the best I have found has been article submissions.
Writing articles about something you love to do can
be fun as well as get the word out about your business.
Next you will want to carve out your working schedule.
When will you work your business? How many hours per
week, per day etc. will you work. This is not set in
stone and can be adjusted as you move forward.

Setting your goals is very important as it gives you
the steps you need to follow day by day month by month
to progress towards success. Goals are a must
for any project whether business or personal.

One thing that has helped me is I focus on one aspect
of the marketing process at a time to completion before
starting another. So for example I want to get an
article written and submitted. I will do this once per
week. I spend about six hours on this and I do not move
to another technique until finished. I usually complete
this in one days work.

Next I will work on my Adwords or Adsense campaigns.
The point is that you can get so mixed up and confused
and when this happens you get discouraged. So it is
vital to keep things organized. Try to learn then setup
a different aspect of your marketing after mastering a
previous one. Do one at a time.

A very good place to learn a lot about Marketing on the
internet is the WarriorForum. There are many people who
have many years of cummulative experience that can help.
You can search thousands of topics that will address
your questions.
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum
I have spersonally spent many hours of research on the
WarriorForum. Another thing I like to do is check other
marketers sites and see what they are doing. I get
many great ideas from this type of research.

Try not to spend a bunch of money on tools and ebooks.
Some tools are necessary such as an auto responder,
article submission software or ad tracker. You can
however get by without these in the very beginning.
You can get yourself e-books by searching and finding
free ebooks to download from the internet. All the
tools you need can be easily found on the internet.

Another great way to get started is to become an
affiliate. This way you can get a ready made product
and in alot of cases website. You can become an affiliate
for as many products or companies that you feel you
can handle financially as well as by how much time you
have to devote to each business. A lot of these,
once up can run on auto pilot for certain periods of
time with little of yourtime.

Most affiliate related online businesses will provide
step by step instructions that walk you through what
to do to succeed. You will notice that most information
that you read will be focused on marketing properly
whether using Adwords to offline classified ads or
building your email list.

Finally all of this is dynamic and I consider everything
I do, a test until proven successful. This is the real
beauty of the internet. You can test business models and
projects out quickly and inexpensively. If one thing does
not work, move on to the next or if one ad flops tweak
it and retest. Some times you can see a change take effect
within hours.

Why Would I do Business On The Internet

By Bryon Zirker

When starting a business or looking into an area to market to
it is essential to investigate that market. You are saying
ya ya I have heard this over and over. So why do business on
the internet?

From the reading that I have done to date (2005) regarding the
internet and the number of businesses and users who use it,
I must say it is nothing short of incredible.

The internet boasts more than 55 million web sites on line. That
number is supposed to hit the 600 million mark by the year 2010
and beyond. Incredible. And the actual user/buyer base will be
well beyond 600 million. Do you understand what this means. That
kind of market is astounding. The potential of accessing it
and marketing to it is very great.

With some decent regulation and policing which is needed to
protect businesses and individuals from fraud, the sky is the
limit you might say. So why would you want to market on the
internet. Aside from what I stated above which are very good
reasons, here are some very powerful reasons that are to be
considered as well.

A biggy here is the cost to get started. You can put together
a very small budget to start with and if you stick to it and
stay consistant you will see results. One of the best ways to
get started and get your feet wet is to become an affiliate
and market an affiliate business or product. This way you can
learn alot of the things you need to know and do in order to
be successful online. Once you have mastered some strategies
and you have gotten to know your way around you can apply
what you have learned to other project businesses of your own
creation. Some internet marketing entrepreneurs have as many
as 30 or more websites up and pulling in dollars.

Another very good reason is the amount of people that can be
targeted with your advertising. You would be hard pressed to
get hundreds thousands or even millions into your hardware store
in a month or your candy store or pet store. But an online
store could have millions visit it in one month.

And then there is the selling factor or face to face networking
with potential customers. Alot of people will not take the step
into owning thier own business because they can not or do not do
well marketing or selling to other people. So the internet is a
great place to build a presence that does not rely totally on ones
selling abilities alone. In fact some people might build a presence
that reflects a personality that they could otherwise never pull
off face to face with a customer.

One of the best reasons which goes along with the small budget
aspect is that you can test your ideas quickly and inexpensively
on the internet. This is key because you do not sink alot of your
money in until you see that it will work.

So the point is that the internet is a very large (and getting
larger every day) arena for business. It is dynamic and fun.
It takes work like any thing else worth doing and the potential
for success is huge and not just monetarily either. It is a great
place to share information and ideas too.

7 Wise Ways to Collect Email Addresses and Build Your
Mailing List

By Bryon Zirker

Wise Way #1 - OFFER A FREEBIE

You have to give in order to get. If you want people to
offer up their email address, you`re going to have to offer
up an incentive. Nothing works better than something that`s
complimentary (you spell that F-R-E-E). You can give away
no-cost reports, books, software, or even sample pages of a
book.

Word to the Wise: Our Empowerism subscribers use
complimentary subscriptions to our "Excellence Magazine" and
ebook giveaways to grow their lists. Works like a charm.

Wise Way #2 - USE POP-UPS

Pop-ups are one of the most common methods you can use to
capture email addresses and build your email list
quickly and with ease. Simply construct a web page
containing code for a form and set the page to open (pop up)
when visitors ENTER OR EXIT your site.

Make sure the pop-up offer is something that`s valuable
enough to motivate visitors to take time to give you their
contact information. Your offer can be a complimentary
report, download, or ebook that arrives instantly through
your autoresponder to their email inbox when they give you
their email.

-Word to the Wise: If you need a pop-up, you can pick one
up F-R-E-E (there`s that word again) from Empowerism

Son of Word to the Wise: "Instant" is a very powerful
pop-up offer.

Wise Way #3 - USE POSTCARDS

If you have a mailing list that contains snail mail (street)
addresses, convert it into an email list by sending out a
postcard and inviting people to VISIT YOUR WEBSITE to
receive a gift of some kind -- a report, a discount coupon,
etc. Visitors don`t have to pay in order to receive their
gifts, they simply need to enter an email address.

A Word to the Wise from the U.S. Post Office: Postage is
much less expensive for a postcard than a standard-size
letter. (Not only are they economical, postcards are more
likely to get your message across since the consumer doesn`t
have to open an envelope.)

Wise Way #4 - SUBSCRIBER BOX ON EVERY PAGE

This is a clever trick that so many people overlook. Put a
RESPONSE FORM ON EVERY PAGE of your website offering a
newsletter or other freebie. This will increase the number
of email addresses you capture exponentially.

Why? When search engines index the pages of your website, a
visitor may come directly to a page other than your home
page. If you only have a subscriber box on your home page,
you`re missing the boat, not to mention the thousands of
visitors who bypass your homepage.

A Word to the Wise: If you don`t know how to create an
opt-in form, no worries. Empowerism has a foolproof `build
your own` tool made just for you!

Wise Way #5 - CONTESTS

Contests very often prove to be a good way to generate
traffic and buzz for your business. Create a contest and put
a form on your site or in a pop-up box. The entry "fee" is
their email address.

Word to the Wise: Not all the people who sign up for your
contest are good prospects. Many are just contest
"junkies" -- people who are only looking for freebies and
have no intention of buying a product or service.

Warning to the Wise: If your prizes are cash or
large-ticket items, you should be sure to check with local
agencies to make sure you`re not violating any contest laws.

Wise Way #6 - DISPLAY YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS

Most people give their website link when they place solo
ads, ezine ads, or other marketing messages. To be one step
ahead of the game in collecting email addresses, LIST YOUR
AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS instead of your URL. This way you can
capture email address and funnel them into your follow-up
sales letters.

Word to the Wise: Don`t have an autoresponder? Empowerism
will give you one, provide you with signposts to others, and
make sure you know exactly what to look for to find the
"pick of the litter."

Word from our "Sponsor": Autoresponders you can use are
just one sample of the incredible resources you can depend
on when you`re a member of the Empowerism family. Our
tools, information, and especially the Empowerism RSVP --
Revenue Sharing Value Program -- are all designed to
generate BIG bucks with LITTLE effort.

Wise Way #7 - JUST ASK

If you`re chatting with a prospect on the phone or a
potential customer stops by your place of business, don`t be
shy: ask for an email address or business card (which
usually includes their email address).

Okay, you know what you want...you know what you need. It`s
time for you to set your traps and CAPTURE THOSE EMAILS!

But I Don't Want to Wait THAT Long
by Charles Burke

Years ago I worked in a camera shop with a man named Sam who was constantly bemoaning his bad luck. He often talked about Mr. Dawson, a man in his seventies who was really lucky. Dawson owned buildings all over the western suburbs of Chicago.

One day when he mentioned Dawson, I commented, "Hey, Sam, you're only thirty-five now. Why don't you start buying buildings this year? By the time you're seventy-five you'll have become as rich as Dawson."

He glared at me and stated huffily, "But I don't want to wait THAT long."

It took me a while to figure it out: Sam didn't want to BECOME rich. He wanted to BE rich. No time delay, no learning, no work.

The last time I saw Sam, fifteen years later, he was fifty and still working in a camera shop for about the same pay. Still not wanting to wait.

The point here is obvious, so I won't belabor it.

However, if you have ambitions for greater wealth, here are 5 tips I've personally found useful.

1. Find somebody who's doing it

I'd never had much success until I met John, who said he'd lived in Japan for years and had made good money there.

After he returned to Japan, he phoned and invited me to come on over, too. "There's lots of work and the pay's terrific," he told me.

I didn't quite believe it would work for me, but I tried it anyway. And that was the start of a great new career - and leap in income.

I found success by following the example of somebody who was already succeeding.

2. Feel like you DESERVE success

If there's something inside you that feels you don't deserve good things, it'll try to sabotage you at the most unexpected times.

Old habits may pop back up to dilute your energies. Or you might start unintentionally alienating your most important employees, customers or suppliers.

There are a million ways to defeat yourself when you don't feel you deserve success.

How do you lock in a feeling of deserving?

Some people set aside a certain amount of time to devote to worthy causes. Others donate a tithe of their income to charity or church. Still others meditate on their oneness with their Creator.

The best approach for you will be the one that satisfies your own inner need for reassureance and a feeling of worth.

3. You're not ENTITLED to success

A common wrong turn is the attitude of entitlement.

Please understand, life does not OWE you or me anything.

It strews untold riches and joys at our feet, but it's up to us to recognize them, to reach down and pick them up.

Russell Conwell was famous for telling the story of a man who sold his farm and went off in search of diamonds. He traveled the world for decades without success.

But the man who bought that farm from him found one of the largest diamond deposits ever discovered on the African continent. The black sand in the stream running through his property was loaded with diamonds, and he became enormously wealthy.

The first man had sold his land for nearly nothing and walked away from the riches that life had literally strewn at his feet. True story, by the way.

4. Sometimes it's a grind

Most times, opportunities come in kit form. You ask life for a chance at becoming rich, and circumstances send you a problem or a puzzle.

You may notice that many other people have that same problem. Once you solve it for yourself, you can then make a very nice profit helping other people to quickly overcome the same difficulty.

Life has just given you a rich opportunity. It does that all the time, but mostly we don't notice because we're so busy griping about what a grind life is, what a raw deal we have.

5. Be thankful in advance

It's just as simple as managing well what you've already got. Appreciate and be thankful for the things you already have. Love the people who are already in your life.

Then, just to prime the pump, be thankful for even more than you have - for stuff you haven't received yet.

It is said that nature abhors a vacuum.

When you give thanks - real, soul-lifting, jubilant thanks -for things you don't have yet, nature rushes in to fill that vacuum.

It'll fill that void with all the things and qualities and people that are bubbling joyously in your heart and mind.

Of course, you can say, "Nah, it can't be that simple," lay this aside and surf on to the next site.

Or you can try these ideas.

If you do try, I believe you'll discover that life is EAGER to hand you more of what you want.

To summarize, you can simply:

1. Follow in the footsteps of somebody who's already successful. They can save you countless wrong turns.

2. Master those feelings that you don't deserve good things. Make sure your success benefits others even more than it does you.

3. Accept that life doesn't owe you anything - besides you're not yet recognizing all that it's offering you now.

4. Remember that some assembly may be required. Ask life for a cake and it may hand you flour, water, sugar and eggs.

5. Be thankful BEFORE you receive. After ordering a book from Amazon, you relax and believe it's on its way. Why not start trusting life as much as you trust Amazon?

Charles Burke is the author of Command More Luck, the book that shows you why all those things keep happening to you. Learn why "luck" doesn't work anything like the way you've always been told.

The bad news - there's no such thing as luck. The good news - there's something even better. Go to http://www.moreluck.com and learn how you can take command of what people call luck. Start today.

Position Position Position – The secret to success online.
By Quentin Brown

When you saw this heading you possibly thought of real estate or search engine placement.

While this is very applicable to these two systems I want to take you a little deeper into the concept of positioning yourself for success online.

Position is really a life skill with its own set of stratergies and skills.

Position: A place or location. A strategic area occupied by members of a force. An advantageous place or location. A point of view or attitude on a certain question. Sports. The area for which a particular player is responsible. The arrangement of the pieces or cards at any particular time in a game such as chess, checkers, or bridge.

Over the past seven years I have been involved in Internet Marketing. The first five as part time and the last two years full time. Many people asked how I made the graduation from part time to full time and the answer is always positioning.

The Concept of Positioning.

If you have played or watched sports at any time you will know that positioning is the key to winning or loosing. In football you need to be in position to accept the ball if you are going score.

The same applies to your life and business.

My basketball coach always told me that I needed to put all my effort to get into the right position and once I got there I could have a rest. I think you would know .... he lied. Once you get into position there is no rest as you then have to maintain that position.

Positioning is a skill that can be developed:

It is very important to do your homework because positioning is a skill that is developed by training and studying. It is not a haphazard occurance.

Last year I was looking at a new business I could start up online so I looked at what was growing and developing. In doing this I found that baby boomers are an economic force in the community and that they like gadgets, technology, investments because they are rapidly approaching retirement and health for a similar reason.

I also found that streaming audio was becoming something that people wanted to use on websites without the need for special servers, a lot of technical ability etc. In fact in my research it was the fastest growing multimedia tool people were looking for. So I went out and found a product I could develop to position myself in the middle of this growing market. Hence was born MP3 Sound Stream that allows anybody to add streaming audio to their website easily and simply.

Positioning for life.

I know that we are mainly talking about business in this article however if you do not also use positioning in your everyday life then it will not flow over into your business. Success is a mixture of both personal and business strategies and this is why so many people when they come into large sums of money loose it within five years and are back to where they started if not worse off.

They had not positioned themselves in life to handle the pressures and responsibility of there new found wealth. This is possibly why many people who start working for themselves also do not make much more than they did in their job. They never re-positioned themselves.

Summary

As I mentioned before positioning is a skill you can develop.

1.Find out what position you want or are capable of attaining.

One of my friends is a great sales person. He sells welders and turns over millions of dollars selling this equipment. A few years ago the company he worked for decided that it would be better for him to train a lot of other sales people so they could do even more.

It turned out that the company actually sold less with more sales people because the positioning of my friend to train people was not in his ability. The company actually went backwards so they repositioned him back into sales and re took the market lead again. His position was sales not training.

2.Take action and hold on.

In an instant society we are all looking for the quick fix however we all appreciate those who can maintain a solid position. I belong to an online MLM company and for 4 years nothing much happened however I knew that it was positioned for success. Today it is growing in leaps and bounds. Unfortunately some of my friends left a little too early and have missed out on the benefits of holding on. If you believe in what you are doing do not give up.

3.You don’t have to make millions to succeed online.

The concept of positioning is really all about strategies. Remember the old saying how do you eat an elephant. A bite at a time.

Positioning is the same. You do it a bit at a time. First you learn then you apply. Then you learn some more and then you apply what you have learnt. By being consistent you will see it start to pay off.

Finally let me tell you one last story. While I was writing this article my son was watching a documentary on the salmon in Canada that migrate up river to lay their eggs. Some of the scenes where they would jump up waterfalls bashing against the rocks to get to their final destination impressed me. The point is they would either make it or die trying.

Now there are people who are going to make out that becoming successful online is easy and both you and I know this is a lie. Just like the coach who told me I could rest once I got into position. The fact is it will take hard work and there will be casualties however if you are determined to succeed you will have a better chance of success.

Some people will just find this all too hard so my advice to you is take the easy road and don’t start.

Quentin Brown has been helping people add streaming media to their web sites for the past seven years and provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise for those who are technically challenged but want to make use of new technology without spending a fortune. http://www.myaudiosecrets.com

DRESSING SUCCESSFUL IS IMPORTANT!
By Kimberly Gordon

Are you Dressing as Successful as you wish to be?
Are you Dressing as Successful as You Are?

We read on websites everyday how the 'Dot Com' Millionaire became successful in his or her underwear...or pajamas.

This may be true to an extent, but come on, realistically they didn't spend their entire time in front of the computer in their underwear. I know because I make good money online and while I can get up in the morning and go to work in my pajamas with a cup of coffee, that's not "HOW" I became successful.

In order to be successful, you also have to feel successful. To feel successful you need to 'DRESS' Successful. Yes really!

You may be thinking...Why? No One is going to see me and how I look behind my computer. I can look like a slob and no one would be wiser. That's simply not true! You have to change that way of thinking because, If You are shabby, and the way you appear to yourself and others is shabby as well, Chances are Your Work is shabby, Or at least some might think it. To be successful you have to appear successful. If you feel good about yourself, you are going to take special care in your work online as well.

Dressing for Success. I learned the hard way by attempting to go out in the world with my opportunity and try to bring people aboard. I did everything right. My knowledge was right on, my pitch was great, I had the attention of my hearers. But did I make a sale? NO WAY! I was hurt and felt like a failure. What was it about me or my product that wasn't appealing enough?

Okay...time passed and I ran into an old friend. One who I had presented my opportunity to. They asked me how I was doing with my business? I gladly answered that I was doing well and how they should have joined me when I spoke to them before. Their reply just about knocked me out of the saddle!!!

This person said "I would have, but I didn't think you were as successful as you said you were!" I asked why not? She said "well, you just didn't look like you were. You were in your sweats and a t-shirt and although you looked casual and comfortable, you didn't look successful."

I thought, she has some nerve. How could she judge me by the way I dressed? For crying in a pizza pocket, I was at the store, I saw her AT THE STORE!! How does she expect me to dress just to go to the store? I just blew it off. It was her loss right?

WRONG! It was My LOSS, because she could have been a sale, an affiliate, a Joint Venture Partner or just a faithful customer who buys from me, or simply uses my tell a friend feature.

You and I know you make money. What if I had a friend who needed an income and I brought them to you to get them started? What if your house/office was a mess and you were in your sweats and I caught you off guard with this friend? Would you have a new client or Not? I'd say probably NOT!

I know you work in front of the computer during the 8-5 grind. You are a Professional Right? So why not DRESS like it?"

Earn Money On The Web

Written By Tal Fighel

Are you looking to earn money on the web? Let's look at 3 easy ways you can earn money using the internet. Affiliate programs, home based business, and internet marketing.

Affiliate programs:

Affiliate programs may be the easiest way to earn money on the web. Why?

With any online business you must have a product or service to sell. First you must create this product or service and then you must be able to fill orders or find people who will sell it for you for a hefty commission.

Affiliate programs allow you to sell another company's service or product and make a commission on every sale or lead. You do not even need to build a website, process the order, ship the product to the person, or anything like that. Your only job is to drive traffic (customers) to your affiliate link and hope that they click on it and buy the product.

An affiliate link is a special URL code that will identify customers coming to the company's site from your advertising. It will likely be the website address with a code attached to the end.

Some affiliate programs also have tiers. That means if someone who is interested in SELLING the product comes through your link and signs up you will also get a small percentage of THEIR earnings. This is also called internet network marketing.

A home based business:

This is a business which is really described as a work at home business. The person reserves a room in the house and builts an office in it. There they have there own computer, telephone, possibly a secretery, and some nice furniture.

A home business can be anything from party plans, to mlm businesses, or any business based in your home and conducted outside of it.

Internet marketing:

This is the use of the internet to advertise and sell real tengible merchandise or services. This involves the use of someone's site and e-mail to inform his/hers customers about a product, answer their questions and feedbacks, and accept their orders directly through the online internet world.

Virtually any product or service can be sold online for a generous commission. This is a great way to earn money if you already have a product.

An excellent program that combines all 3 things, affiliate programs, internet marketing, and your own home business is the Plugin Profit Site (PIPS). In 3 easy steps you can be set up with your own money making website, and internet marketing newsletter that you can run from your own home.

This is, in my view, the best earn money on the web opportunity for someone who doesn't have the knowledge, money, or the time to set up their own home business on the internet. You can learn more here:

Why Your Website Won't Make You Money It's Crazy
By Keir Smith

I go online almost everyday, and I see the same mistakes happening over and over. Month after month, online businesses struggle to bring in a profit from their website. They focus on fancy graffics and tons of other things that don't have anything to do with making your customers want your product or service bad enough to whip out they're wallet and hand you they're hard earned cash.

What's the big mistake these businesses make you ask?

Not having an information product.

And I don't just mean some free junk you can find online. No, I'm talking about something that only you can offer your customers. This gives you an advantage over your competitors. It's got to be valuable. Something that they can use in their business right now.

But today, I have some good news.

I'm going to share 5 critical tips that will skyrocket your business in the next 72 hours. Yep, if you can write your name, then these incredible tips will put more money in your pocket in the next 72 hours than it did all of last week. I'm not kidding.

So listen up, because here they are:

1. Think multiple products/services

This is a no brainer really. Because if your not selling multiple products to your customers then you are leaving a boat load of cash sitting right at their front doorsteps. Think about what your customers can use before and after they use your product or service. Next create an information product that solves a problem this market is having. Or what about doing a joint venture with someone who has a valuable information product that you can offer to this starving market. In the end, you'd split the profits.

2. Create a project plan for product deliveries

If you can't get your products or services to your customers when you say you will, then you'll lose the sale. More importantly though, you'll lose the customer for good. See, we live in a fast paced world. And your customers want their goods and services now. Not tomorrow. So you need to plan out how you will handle delays in your delivery process. How will you sooth your customers need to have what he wants, when he wants it.

3. Define low price products to generate leads

This one is a real doozy. If done right you could find yourself with hundreds of hungry leads in just 30 days. The idea here is that you will use a low priced information product that's packed with valuable information as your lead generator. The way I use it is as an exchange. They will exchange their email address for my top notch information that they can put to use today. You then can follow up with them with multiple offers. Here, what you want to do is give them valuable information, but at the same time point to your mid priced product.

4. Define your mid-price product as a stepping stone

Yep, your low priced lead generator is designed to sell your middle product. It enhances the results. Although your low priced product will work well by itself, combine it with your mid priced product, and the sky's the limit.

5. Create high-end, back-end products

Last but not least, there's your high end product. And if you've created your mid priced product correctly, and by that I mean, your mid priced product should be pointing to what else...thats right...your high end product - then your sales will soar. This is a proven system for creating an automatic sales cycle. You start a chain reaction that happens automatically when you set your information products up in this easy to follow manner.

Deadly Effective Ezine Advertising for Internet Network
Marketing

"Deadly Effective Ezine Advertising for Internet Network
Marketing"

What are Ezines?

Ezines are online newsletter that people subscribe to
because they have an interest in the subject matter
described in the newsletter.

Personally, I love Ezine advertising. I've used this very
strategy that you are about to learn right here and I've
created some exceptional growth in my business. Just to give
you an idea, one Ezine ad that I sent to a list of a little
over 2,000 subscribers that cost me $31, generated 55 new
leads and 12 new sign ups in the course of 24 hours. That's
a 22% lead to sign up conversion ratio! I've had people in
my downline that have had better results than this.

The best part is, the people that joined my business from
this mailing were focused savvy Internet marketers. They
joined my business and just ran with it. I estimate that
those 12 sign-ups account for about 40 new down line members
in the course of a month and 100s at this point.

Wouldn't you like to have the same happen in your business?

It gets me excited just sitting here writing about it!

So let's get on with it . . .

Which Ezines will we target?

We want to advertise in Ezines that target Home Business
Entrepreneurs, Network Marketers, Biz Opp Seekers, Internet
Marketers, Affiliate Marketers, and your companies primary
niche. These are the people that are actively interested in
making money online and in what you have to offer and will
see the most value in what we're offering. There are free
places as well as paid places to find highly targeted Ezines
to send your ads to.

I personally only advertise in the Directory of Ezines
because I find it to be the best and most up to date listing
of quality Ezines. There is a membership cost but I
personally think it's worth it.

QUICK TIP: If you decide to buy a membership I would advice
going with the one year membership as opposed to the
lifetime membership. Because by following the method that I
am about to describe to you this time next year you will
have developed so many strong relationships with great
Ezines that you'll have your own rolodex of great places to
advertise.

You can also use Ezine-Universe.com which is a free
resource.

What type of ad do we want to place?

There are two ways to go about this, the fast way and the
slow way.

To go about this the slow, way would mean we would first place
a small classified ad in the Ezine that we plan to target. We
would then track our response to see if a larger ad is
warranted.

This method works well with direct marketing online because
it decreases risk, but it will drastically increase the time
frame until we see our most wanted response - sign ups.

Why?

We'll have to wait and track responses at each step.

The fast way:

I have been using a faster and a little bit more risky method.
What I do is I call or email the list owner to ask about their
lists to try to get a feel if it is a good match for my ad.

Here is what I want to find out:

How many mailings do they send out a week?

You don't want to send an ad to an Ezine that sends out more
than 2 solo ads a week because most likely no one will read
them.

How many new subscribers does the Ezine get in a month?

-You want an Ezine that gets a steady flow of new
subscribers.

Have similar ads to mine for my same business run in the
recent past?

=You don't want to advertise in an Ezine that has had similar
ads run in the past month or so.

Does the Ezine owner have a list of references?

-I ask if the Ezine owner can provide a short list of
references that I can contact to see what their response
rates have been like in that particular Ezine.

Is there a newsletter archive that you can take a look at?

-Since you're going to be running the ad you want to see the
layout of the Ezine so you know how your ad will look.
What do you do next?

Find a few good Ezines and ask the List Owner some of the
above questions to help you decide if their list is a good
match for your offer.

After you've done your homework you'll want to go ahead and
place your solo ad. Place about 3 or 4 at a time and be sure
to track your click- thru rates.

2005-10-17T14:05:00.000-07:00

I’ve got to tell you a funny story that happened to me recently…

I’ve got to tell you a funny story that happened to me recently…

A few weeks ago, I was playing golf with a friend of mine who owns a chain of martial arts studios. While we were playing he began telling me about how he had just spent over $50,000 having a website designed to promote his business.

He went on for over thirty minutes bragging about how beautiful the graphics and pictures were and how much he spent on this and how much he spent on that. He even told me how his graphic designer had created a large flash animated header to go at the top of every page showing him breaking a brick in half.

Well… After I had given him plenty of time to “tell me all about” his new website, I asked him a few questions.

Q - “So how long has your site been online?”

A - “…About thirty days.”

Q - “Is it getting much traffic?”

A – “Oh yeah. Tons! I’m spending over $500 a day on pay-per-click traffic at Google and Yahoo. I think we are averaging over 1,500 visitors a day!”

Q – “What’s your conversion rate?”

A – “…Huh? My what?”

Q – “Your conversion rate. You know… The ratio between the number of visitors you are getting to the number of sales you are making.

A – “Umm… Well, I’m not sure. We’ve only made 11 sales so far. But my web designer says that once the search engines index my site the sales will pick-up.”

After a few minutes of stunned silence, I said to him, “Let me get this straight. You dumped $50,000 into a website, and you’ve spent $500 per day for he last 30 days driving traffic to it and you’ve only made 11 sales?!”

“Well… Yeah. Why? Is that bad?”

“Is that BAD?!?! Dude! That’s HORRIBLE! You’ve been financially RAPED by a pack of nerds!”

Now it was his turn for stunned silence. After thirty seconds of looking like a deer caught in the headlights, he finally muttered, “…but ..but, the site looks so cool. And they tell me that traffic and sales will get better when the search engines come by…”

“Look. I don’t care what they are telling you. You don’t have a traffic problem, you have a CONVERSION problem. A big one!”

After giving him a second to let the reality sink in I said, “I’ll tell you what. I’ll bet you $250 that I can VASTLY improve your website’s conversion rate in one day. You make the changes that I tell you to make and if your sales don’t improve significantly, I’ll give you $250 cash.”

All he said was, “Eric, You’ve got yourself a deal.”

“Okay. The first thing I want you to do is lose the animated flash header.”

“What?! Are you nuts? That thing cost me over $3,500! They even came out to one of my Dojo’s with their lights and cameras to film me breaking that brick. You haven’t even seen it yet. Come on… I know if you see it you will think it’s cool!”

“I don’t need to see it. I just need you to remove it. It’s hurting your sales.”

After a bit more protesting and grumbling he said. “…Alright. Fine. I’ll take it down for now, but if sales don’t go up its going right back up and YOU OWE ME $250!”

…four days later I get a call.

“Eric… Man, I can’t believe it! We lost the flash header and our site went from one sale every two or three days, to four or five sales EACH day… What do I need to change next?”

Because his site had so many things that needed to change, I recorded a two-hour screen capture video, detailing each step he needed to take to improve his conversion rates.

After watching the video and implementing just a few of the suggestions so far, my blackbelt friend is experiencing much better conversion rates and overall sales.

…So what do I want you to learn from this story?

The first lesson is this:

Most web designers don’t have the first clue about how to convert traffic!

Just think about it...

Over 99% of all web sites today are designed by programmers or graphic artists -- NOT marketers. Most of these guys have never earned a dime selling anything online except their overpriced (and under performing) web design services.

Sure... They can make you a beautiful, great looking website with all the fancy bells and whistles. Just one problem... It won't sell anything!

(I’m sure that somewhere out there in Cyberspace is a group of very nervous nerds, hiding under their desks from one very angry blackbelt!)

The second lesson is:

Small changes to your website can produce huge results.

By getting an expert, outside evaluation of your websites design, copy, usability and sales effectiveness, you can quickly turn a poorly performing website into a raging cash machine!

Debt Free in Ten Steps
Copyright© Bryon Zirker

Ten Steps To Being Debt Free That Work

If your finances are lacking right now, here
is a plan to help reduce your debt while also
laying the foundation for wealth preservation
in the future. It takes work and discipline
to get out of debt. Being debt free should
be your goal. Become debt free starting now.

1.Make sure you have an income to work with.

This option is mandatory or you are headed for
bankruptcy.

2.Know your debts, how much, payments and interest
rates. Make a list of all of your debt. Face up
to it and start aggressively reducing it.

3.Prioritize the debt by:

a. Interest rate

b. Payment

Try to pay the high interest debt first.

Roll those payments into the next on the list once
paid.

4.Pay more than the minimum payment.

Paying only the minimum payment can last for years
and cost you a fortune in interest.

5.Do not roll or transfer balances no, no, no, unless
you plan to pay the debt within the specified low
interest period. Make sure to destroy the higher
interest card.

6.Destroy the Cards as you pay them off. Only hold one
card for emergencies or to pay for travel related items
such as airline tickets or rental car. Plan to pay it
off each month to aviod interest charges.

7.Obtain a copy of your credit report. Learn what is
on it and file it. Update it occasionally. You can
now get a free Credit report from each of the three
reporting agencies once per year.

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

http://www.transunion.com/index.jsp

http://www.experian.com/

http://www.equifax.com/

8.Create a budget or money plan and stick to it,
this step takes the most discipline.

9.Please, please, do not use the equity in your
home for paying off credit cards, purchasing or
paying off vehicles, boats, recreational type items.
These items will soon have no value, so in essense
you will be trading your wealth for nothing.

10.Take action now if you feel you are headed for serious
financial disaster, do not hesitate, for by doing so
will only aggravate the situation. There are many
institutions that do credit counseling and or debt
reduction assistance.

Avoid the "Repair Your Credit" Clinics

Although some consumers pay credit clinics hundreds or
even thousands of dollars to "fix" their credit reports,
only time can improve bad credit. The Federal Trade
Commission has investigated and reported at length on
these often-fraudulent "clinics." And some credit repair
plans actually encourage you to commit fraud yourself
by attempting to create a second credit identity.

Consumer credit reports contain easy-to-follow instructions
for disputing inaccurate information at no charge. Inaccurate
information will be changed or deleted. Accurate information
that shows negative payment habits will usually remain on a
credit report for seven years, with bankruptcies remaining
up to 10 years. Federal law mandates this.

Here is the main point: There is nothing a credit repair clinic can
legally do to fix a credit report that you can't do yourself
for free.

Hows Your Style

Here are a few tips on style that go beyond the new
suit, sports car and big bank account.

Style reaches beyond expensive suits. It's a way
of life. It's not enough to consider yourself
stylish-you must be equipped to prove it in any
circumstance.

Keep these ten items in your wallet. You never
know when you'll need them:

Matches. Channel your inner Humphrey Bogart. Even
if you don't smoke, matches are a great item to keep
on your person. You'll be grateful when you pass an
attractive stranger in need of a light.

Business card from a local florist. A stylish man
sends flowers. It's a simple gesture that immediately
distinguishes its sender.

Safety pin. Like the toothpick, this is for emergency
use only. If a button pops off or a buckle snaps at the
absolute wrong time, a stylish man will be ready to
repair it at a moment's notice.

Toothpick. Of course no one's asking that you pick
your teeth in public. That would be gauche
(but you knew that). The toothpick is an emergency
item, the kind of thing that will prove useful when
checking your front teeth in a bathroom mirror only
to find a stray piece of spinach.

Library card. Better than a gold card, a library
card is a reminder of your thirst for knowledge.
It may be free but it carries a priceless message.

$100 bill. A $100 bill is a reminder that you don't
deal in change. Your attitude is bigger than that,
even if your bank account isn't. Pulling out the
occasional hundred is an image-maker's secret
weapon: In a world of tens, you're a hundred.

Restaurant recommendations. A stylish man knows his
way around town. He's been there and done that. Keeping
a slip of paper listing two atmospheric restaurants
and their addresses allows you to offer up an original
suggestion if the opportunity presents itself.

Mint. Words aren't the only things that come out of
a stylish man's mouth. Good breath is as important
as vocabulary. If you don't have it, you have nothing.

Driver's license. No matter how you look at it, a
bicycle just isn't going to cut it.

A picture of parents. Of course you're stylish,
but you're also down to earth, not to mention
gracious, giving credit where credit is due.

Internet Advertising Options
By Bryon Zirker

Internet Advertising Options

Your online business will likely require more
advertising than a contemporary business downtown, yet
some new to the world of online business do not spend
the time and money to advertise their business
appropriately and are, in turn, loosing money. Your
online business is crammed into the world wide web
along with thousands of others selling the same
product or service as yourself. Consider this
scenario: In your hometown you want to open an art
supply store. In that same town there are thousands
of art supply stores. In order for your business to
be successful, it will have to stand out in some way
from the others. This is exactly what is happening
when a business is opened online. There is so much
competition, that you must take drastic measures to
ensure that you are getting noticed. Advertising can
be done in so many ways online. These are some of the
most successful ways that you can promote your online
business.

Advertising in e-zines is a popular way to promote
your online business. Ezines are the magazines of the
internet; they written on a particular subject and
read by those interested in that subject. Therefore,
ezine readers are already potential customers and
advertising your site in ezines that are related to
your business is almost guaranteed to help drive
traffic to your site and increase sales for your
product. You should be sure when advertising in
ezines that you are not advertising along side
competitors. Ask the ezine producer if there is a
policy concerning posting competing ads. It is also
a good idea to subscribe to the ezine before making a
decision about whether or not to advertise in it. An
ezine that runs fewer ads is a better choice than one
that runs many ads. You can look at the online
Directory of Ezines to find publications that are
relevant to your company.

Pay-per-click programs are an excellent way to
advertise your business without taking a risk that you
have advertised in the wrong place. With
pay-per-click, you can advertise you site and only
pay for those who click the link and go to your site.
Another popular pay-per program is the pay-per-lead
program that allows you to only pay for leads.
Usually this means that you pay for only those who
download a trail, fill out a form or enter a
sweepstakes; whatever you choose. Lastly you can
display pay-per-click banner ads in which your company
would be allowed to place a banner on their site and
you will be charged for every click that your banner
receives.

Opt-In email is a great way to advertise your
business, however it is expensive and it can be
misused very easily. Using opt-in emails, you would
submit your sales copy to the company that will in
turn email it to those on their mailing list. You
should be very careful since some of the companies
that advertise their mailing lists as opt-in email
service is sometimes really SPAM. It is essential
that you have a perfect and effective sales letter
when using opt-in mailing lists. Without and
effective sales copy your money and time have been
wasted.

Cross Promoting Techniques that Work
By Bryon Zirker

Cross Promoting Techniques that Work

Cross promotions are not a new idea. They have been
used by businesses for a very long time. For example,
a real-estate company may promote a certain lawyer to
close a sale, as the lawyer will promote that agency
in his firm. The system is somewhat similar to the
primitive barter system, where people traded items
rather than using money. How can anything primitive
fit into the online world of Internet marketing? Very
easily. Cross promotions are, simply stated, a trade
of advertising space. Instead of paying for
advertising space on a site, you would place their ad
on your page and yours on theirs. There are many ways
to use cross promotions in your internet business that
can be an effective and cost efficient way to
advertise.

One way is to use link exchanges. This is very
effective when doing cross promotions with a company
that is similar to yours, however you should be sure
and never link to a page that is in direct competition
with yours. One of the best things about link
exchanges is that some search engines are factoring in
hits from the sites that are linked to your page to
when determining the ranking. Therefore linking to a
more popular site, can not only increase your
advertising, and traffic, but also increase your
search engine ranking.

When customers or potential customers subscribe to
your ezine you can use this as an opportunity to use
cross promotions. On the same page that the customer
subscribes to your ezine, make available the
opportunity to subscribe to another company’s ezine.
You can even exchange ad space in ezines, and provide
recommendations for those whom you cross promote with.
You might even want to exchange column space in one
another’s ezines.

Writing free articles that inform customers or
potential customers with information that is useful
and accurate can create a reputation for you and your
business. Soon readers will come to know you as an
expert on the subject. In these articles the author
uses a byline to help promote his site. Bylines can
be a way to use cross promotions as well. You can use
part of the space in your byline to recommend
another’s product.

If you have been considering writing an ebook, a joint
venture could mean increased profits for you and the
person you are partnering with. Cross promotions
through ebooks are an excellent way to allow for a
wider topic and to promote both your business and your
partner’s business. The ebook should contain
information that will benefit both businesses and
still be helpful to the reader. A good example of
using cross promotions through an ebook is to a site
selling used video games partnering with a site
selling gaming devices. These are two subjects that
would interest the same reader and most likely lead
the reader to both sites.

You should keep in mind that the recommendations that
you make are a direct reflection of you, so choose
your cross promotional businesses carefully. Also
keep in mind that it would be nice as a shopper to be
able to link from one site to another as a way to
“shop around.“ Since this is usually not beneficial
to you, never link or recommend a site that is in
direct competition with you. Instead, recommend those
who are similar, such as health and life insurance.

Website designs That Sell
By Bryon Zirker

A Website design That Sells

Would you buy meat from a grocery store that left the
bad meat in with the good meat or wasn’t clean? Would
you buy a car from a sales lot that had totaled
automobiles on the front lot? I wouldn’t and neither
would you. Your website is your grocery store; your
car lot. You must have an atmosphere that is pleasing
to buyers. One that tells that buyer that you are not
an amateur, but instead a trained, seasoned
professional. Your site is a direct reflection of
your product and that is why that having a well
designed website can make or break your sales.

The first thing to keep in mind when designing your
website, is “surfability”. Take a few minutes a look
around at several web pages. What makes them
appealing? Were there some that you closed out of
immediately? Why? Take notes and do your research.
Keep in mind that when a person visits your site they
have a goal in mind. They are either seeking
information or shopping for a product. Give the
person what they want without having to search for it.
Be sure that all the information on your site is
relevant to your product. Make the buyer think that
they need your product to solve their problem.

Your main page serves a very specific purpose. It
should be an avenue by which the customer can shop
your site. It should be easy to view and load very
quickly. This is your first impression and we all
know that first impressions can either close the deal
or loose the deal. Make it simple. It is best to
have links that are easily viewable by the reader that
will navigate them to where they want to be. Tables
are often a great choice when deciding on a way to
design the main page of your site. Your main page
should load very quickly, chances are if it takes the
page more than ten seconds to load even on a 56k
modem, the customer will click away to save time,
hoping to find the information or product elsewhere.
To increase the loading speed of your main page you
should avoid large graphics or excessive graphics. To
many banners or special effects can cause a page to
load slowly as well.

To make your web site more appealing to the eyes, you
should stick to mild colors. If your site is a
content site where the user will be doing a lot of
reading, it is best to stick to black and white.
Color can be added when using tables, as a way to
brighten up the page, but remember to keep the overall
look of the page professional and appealing to the
audience that will be visiting most often. Since
screen resolutions vary among monitors, it is a good
idea to set the pixels to a standard 800x600. You may
also choose to set the tables in your web page to span
a percentage of the page rather than a set number of
inches. This will be sure to accommodate all screen
sizes. You should remember that a lot of Internet
users will not use the same browser as you, and
therefore you should be sure that your site looks as
good on other browsers as it does your own. You can
do this by downloading several browsers through which
to look at your page.

Be aware of the fact that the overall look of your
website is a way to make money. The appearance of the
site, if designed properly, can be an excellent
marketing strategy for your product or service.

Multiply Your Sales Through Affiliate Programs
By Bryon Zirker

Multiply Your Sales Through Affiliate Programs

What could be better than exceeding your personal
sales goals for a given month or year? How about
doubling, tripling or even more of you sales goal for
the month? This is exactly what affiliates can do for
you. The amount of growth potential through
affiliates is unlimited; the more affiliates you have
the more money you can make, after all, if Sam Walton
tried to run every Wal-Mart store, he obviously
wouldn’t be very successful. You must realize that
for maximum growth you cannot do it alone. Think of
the success of companies such as Avon or Home
Interiors. Their success is based on two things; a
great product and excellent affiliate programs.

To attract affiliates to your company you should make
it worth their time. Offering one percent of sales,
is not an attractive offer, the higher the commission
that you are able to offer your affiliates the more
affiliates will be tempted to join your team. You
should also provide your affiliates with the tools
that they will need to successfully market your
product such as banner ads, articles, and anything
else that will help them to better market the product.
You should provide the affiliates with updated
product information through newsletters, new
promotional campaigns and other things to motivate and
inform the affiliates.

You can choose to run your affiliate program in a few
different ways, both of which are beneficial to your
business. A one-tier affiliate program allows you to
generally offer a larger commission and pays on one
level. The affiliate will receive a predetermined
amount for each sale. Using a two-tier affiliate
program, affiliates are paid on two different levels.
This is done by allowing the affiliates to recruit
others to sell under them. In this situation, the top
level affiliate would receive a slightly larger
commission than the recruit or second level affiliate.
For example if the top level seller makes 20% of the
sale, then she/he would make 15% giving the second
level affiliate the 5%.

Setting up the affiliate program can also be done in
two different ways. One way is to do it yourself
through an affiliate tracking software. This software
will provide you with a way to track affiliate sales
as well as allow the affiliates to view their
progress. The downside to this option is that you are
responsible for making payments. You can also choose
to hire an affiliate tracking company to do all the
work for you. These companies will allow the use of
credit cards and completely run the affiliate program
from billing customers, paying affiliates, and also
pay you. This is a great option for the busy business
owner or the beginning business owner and it is
affordable as most affiliate tracking companies charge
a small one time fee. However you choose to run your
affiliate program it is sure to increase profits for
your business.

Implementing an Opt-In List to Optimize
Your Internet Marketing Success

By Bryon Zirker

In order to make a success of your website or online
business, it is obvious that you will need customers.
Although everyone who visits your page will not become
a customer, they must have some interest in your
product or service that brought them there in the
first place and therefore they are a potential
customer. Potential customers are much more likely to
become actual customers if you make an effort to keep
in touch with them. This essential marketing tool is
called and opt-in list.

An opt-in list will allow you to keep track of your
potential customers by obtaining their email address
in order to keep them informed about the latest
updates for your product or service. You can create
your own opt-in list or you can use an opt-in list
creator that is available online from several sources.
The benefits of creating your own opt-in list is that
you will be able to send personal messages to the
potential customers and they will not need to do
anything, whereas with commercial opt-in lists, the
customer will receive a generated message and will be
required to verify their acceptance of the message.

An important part of creating a successful opt-in list
is to keep in mind that potential customer will visit
your site from many places and may not see your
homepage. Therefore it is imperative to have the
ability to subscribe to the mailing list from all
pages of your site. You should not, however, make the
subscription information a focus point of every page.
It is a good idea to put it at the bottom or top of
the page where it is visible but not distracting. It
is also a good idea to promote your mailing list by
using a give-away. You could offer a service, a
discount, or an ebook. You can also drive potential
subscriber to join your mailing list by writing
articles that will benefit the reader and at the same
time, build your credibly as an expert. You can
include the subscription information in the byline of
the articles. You could also write an ebook with your
subscription information on each page, which will
allow the customer to easily access the information
and join the list with ease.

Once you have created the mailing list and now have
your potential customers within your grasp it is your
responsibility to keep them updated and interested.
Provide them with quality information that is
up-to-date and of interest to them. Offer discounts
or a newsletter, something that the reader can use.
This will keep them interested and will drive them to
your site over and over, eventually they may make a
purchase and if not, they will be informed enough to
use word of mouth advertising for your site.

Autoresponders-Golden Rules
By Bryon Zirker

Autoresponders Golden Rules For Use

Autoresponders are a perfect way to increase traffic
to your site. They can save many valuable hours by
automatically answering emails concerning frequently
asked questions about a service or product or by
sending a welcome letter to new members of your
program.

There are many ways that autoresponders can
help your business. One of the most important is
their ability to track the effectiveness of your
promotions. Since autoresponders are one of the most
popular marketing tools available today, they are
being used by a lot of different kinds of business and
websites.

Some of these take advantage of the system
to use the autoresponders in a negative manner. You
should be aware of some of the “Golden Rules” when
using autoresponders.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder Address When
Submitting to Search Engines.

Since you will most likely submit your site to search
engines such as Google or Yahoo!, directories,
classifieds, and free for all sites, you should be
made aware of the fact that these sites commonly use
an autoresponder as well.

If you were to use your autoresponder to contact these
companies, their autoresponder will reply to yours and
so on and so on. Thus creating a cycle of autoresponses
that will flood your email box and theirs as well.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Subscribe to
Ezines or Discussion Forums.

Since most of the time an Ezine will send you updates
and new information regularly, your auto responder
will send them a message each time. In a discussion
forum, every person in the discussion forum will
receive your auto response.

This can be irritating and most of the time you will
be unsubscribed. It is often hard for the administrators
of the forum or ezine to determine who is using the
autoresponse and therefore it is simply common courtesy
to never use an autoresponer in this manner.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Take Advantage
Of Unsuspecting Individuals.

Some very unprofessional companies will use
autoresponders to respond to an automated message
when this is done the address in the “from” field will be
automatically subscribed to their mailing list. This
is a extremely un ethical use of autoresponders and
those who do it are in jeopardy of creating a very
negative image of themselves and their company.

Rather than promote their service or business, this
usually leads to people becoming very upset and
spreading a negative word about your company rather
than a good one.

The Internet can be a great place to do business and
autoresponders can be an excellent way to save time,
however when used in an unprofessional way, they can
lead to frustration and aggravation for others.

Your company will suffer the loss of much business if you
choose to participate in these abusive practices. The
appropriate use of auto responders can generate a
large amount of business, while inappropriate use can
drive away that business.

Internet Marketing Success Five Proven Methods

By Bryon Zirker

Internet Marketing Success Five Proven Methods

There are hundreds of ways that you can promote your
online business or website, some more effective than
others. These five proven methods will help you to
generate traffic to your site and also to generate
income into your wallet.

1. One thing that appeals to everyone is “free.” If
it is free people will take it. Think of the samples
of cheese given away at grocery stores. Do you really
want a small piece of cheese? Of course not! But you
take it simply because it is free and someone is nice
enough to offer it to you. The same principle applies
with information or services offered from your
website. You can send out free newsletters or offer a
free trail period. One popular thing that is being
given away now are free credit reports or free PC
scans. These freebies are what we in the marketing
field like to call teasers. After running the free
credit report or PC scan we alert the customer if
there is something found on their credit record or PC
and then offer to show them what it is or repair the
problem for a price. This can be an effective way to
get information to your potential customers, create
sales or to generate traffic to your site.

2. Your website contains information about a service
or product that you are very knowledgeable about. You
can use this knowledge to generate traffic to your
site by writing articles in your area of expertise and
having them published in an ezine or an article
information site. The most effective way to use these
articles is to write them for free and ask in return
that the publisher allow you to include a byline. A
byline is a very short summary of the author, their
credentials and their website. Your byline is a way
that readers will come to know you as an expert on the
topic and will in turn come to trust your site as a
source of credible information.

3. Some search engines will allow a website to
purchase their ranking. This is an excellent Internet
marketing technique in that it is effective and
inexpensive. In the pay-per-click programs, website
are only billed for those who actually visit the page,
unlike banner ads which may be seen by millions but
only used by a few. When using the pay-per-click
program you are asked to choose keywords and when
those are entered your site will appear and if the
surfer chooses to view your site, you are billed for
that click. Many pay-per-click programs will offer
other benefits as well, such as updated lists of
commonly used keywords.

4. You should remember that others are in the same
boat as you. You can choose to network with those who
have similar marketing ideas. When networking you
will be able to share links and refer customers to
each other. You should always be very cautious when
choosing a networking partner as everything that you
recommend is a reflection of yourself or your product
and therefore, you should be certain that your
networking partner is a reputable source of
information.

5. Simply because your website is online, doesn’t
mean that all your advertising should be. Advertise
in newspapers, TV, the radio or you can even send out
a press release to get your information to thousands
of people all over the country.

Autoresponders = Automatic Internet Marketing Success
By Bryon Zirker

Autoresponders = Automatic Internet Marketing Success

What if you could send out all the information that
your potential customers have requested without
checking your email or answering a phone? While this
may seem impossible, it is becoming more and more
popular among the most successful Internet marketing
gurus. This is all due to what is called an
autoresponder. An autoresponder is an automatic
method of responding to emails sent by existing or
potential customers and is an must for any Internet
business. Time is money and answering emails
personally take a lot of valuable time for both you
and the customer. Not only do autorespnders allow you
to spend the time elsewhere in your business, but it
gives the customer access to the information almost
immediately.

Since there are so many different uses for
autoresponders, they can be of value to virtually any
type of business. Some choose to use the
autoresponders to answer frequently asked questions
about a product or service. Others use them to
provide information about pricing or product
information. Autoresponders are also a nice way to
welcome new members to a website or group as well as
thank them after a visit.

One might ask what would be the advantage of using
autoresponders as opposed to simply listing the
information on the site. An important feature of
autoresponders is that they send you an email
notification each time a response is sent out. This
allows you to track the success of your promotions as
well as have the email addresses of potential
customers at your fingertips so that you can easily
send out updated and new information to them.

It is of the utmost importance to choose an effective
autoresponder. An autoresponder should be as
personal as possible and send out follow-ups to
potential customers since it has been proven that
persistence pays off. It could take up to seven
contacts before a final sale is conducted. Generally
speaking an advertisement should be short and to the
point. However, in this case, the customer has asked
to see this specific information and therefore an
effective autoresponder should allow you to place as
much text on the page as you desire. The
autoresponder that you choose should provide automatic
updates to customers free of charge.

The autoresponder is one Internet marketing tool that
will not cost you an arm and a leg. You can get free
autoresponders online from several sources. The
automatic responses will be a welcome addition to your
marketing strategy and will help to automatically
increase traffic to your site all while you do
nothing. Be sure that the one you choose includes all
the extras that will send you site to the top and your
profits through the roof.

Effective or Irritating: The Use of Pop Windows in
Internet Marketing
By Bryon Zirker

Effective or Irritating: The Use of Pop Windows in
Internet Marketing

A few years ago, pop-up windows were all the rage in
Internet marketing. It seemed that every time one
opened a web page they would be bombarded with offers
for this or that.

It had gotten to the point where surfing the Internet
was almost like playing a video game; when the ads
would pop-up one would try and close them out before
another one came.

This is precisely why we have seen the decline in the
use of pop-up windows on the Internet today; surfers
simply do not even look at the pop-ups anymore. They
close the windows out before even reading the ad.

Very often, a surfer will even leave your site if
there are too many pop-up ads. They simply do not
want the hassle of closing those windows while
trying to obtain the information that your site
has to offer.

This information, while valuable, is not as valuable
as the surfers time. Studies have shown however,
that even with these set backs, pop-up windows are
still an effective method of Internet marketing.

Is there some way that pop-up windows can be less
irritating and still be effective? Yes! What if the
pop ad were seen upon exiting your site instead of
entering?

This would allow the surfer to obtain the
information that they need from your site, feeling
that they were able to come and go quickly without
being hassled by other ads and offers all the while
making the surfer happy.

You have left the surfer with a positive attitude
and therefore are more likely to respond to the
pop advertisement. This is being accomplished more
and more by using what is being called pop-under
windows. When the surfer comes to your site,
the ad is opened discretely behind the your
web page.

Then, upon leaving your site, after obtaining
all the information that they need , will see
the ad and therefore be more likely to respond.
Since the surfer has the information, he has
achieved his objective and is now open to do
other things; ideally respond to the pop under
advertisement.

Not all pop-windows are created equally. There are
some things that you can do to make your pop-windows,
whether pop-up or pop-under more effective. The
pop-window should be easy to “escape” from. If the
surfer does not want to see the add, but has a hard
time closing it out, they will likely become
frustrated and could leave your site all together.

You should either use a button to that will allow the
surfer to close the window or be sure that the “x” is
easily visible. Another good idea is to use a script
that utilizes cookies. Cookie will prevent pop-windows
from overloading the surfer since you can decide the
frequency of the pop-windows, rather than each time a
page is opened. Also be sure that there is no more
than one pop-window per page.

When creating a pop-window, you will be asked to fill
out a short information form, select the length of
cookies, and choose the layout of the pop-window.

When choosing the design of the pop-window, you can
increase the effectiveness by creating a large
headline that includes benefits that will be most
appealing to the customer.

You should also consider using incentives and lastly
do not ask the customer to read a long and drawn out
advertisement. Keep the message simple yet powerful
and your pop-ads will be sure to generate profits for
your site.

Business Planning and Creation
By Bryon Zirker

Business Planning and Creation

You're excited. You have a great idea for a profitable
online business. Maybe it is an original idea that has
not been marketed online before. Maybe you have come
up with a new spin on the ordinary. Whatever it is
that has influenced you to start your online business,
be sure that you have a plan before you begin. This is
not the time to “pick it up as you go”. These are some
basic things that should be included in your business
plan.

The business summary should give a brief description
of the entire business and is an integral part of the
overall business plan. After you have completed the
business summary you should begin to list the
objectives or the goals that you want to accomplish
through the business. Next and perhaps most
importantly, you should develop your marketing plan.
The marketing plan will address all the specifics of
the business. When developing the marketing strategy
you should consider the following:

The target market. The target market is the customers
that you expect to see visiting your site. For example
will your product be more appealing to college
students or those who are in retirement?

Consider the competition for your product when
determining the marketing strategy. Choose a product
that will be seen as unique and useful. Visit sites
that are offering the same or similar products. Find
out the cost, and how they are marketing their
product. Finds out the pros and cons of their business
and try to improve your product based on their flaws.

Research the various methods for advertising online.
You should become educated about search engines and
how they work since each one is different. Also be
sure that you know how to submit your site to search
engines. You should be prepared to spend a small
amount of money on advertising, but the profits that
you will gain from the advertisements will prove to be
money well spent.

Think about pricing. Again, look at the competition
and see what similar products are selling for. Pricing
can play a big role in the success of your product
since selling a product well below the average price
may lead customer to think that there is a problem
with the product or that it is not of the best
quality. However, pricing items too high could also
detour customers.

Determine the shipping method. Be sure that you know
how products will be shipped so that you can have
shipping details clearly posted on your site. If you
are shipping things of great value, you should
consider providing shipping insurance. Also think
about shipping outside the country that you live in.

Think about the different methods of payment that you
will accept. If your business does not accept credit
cards, you should be ready to give up half if not more
of your sales. If you decide to accept credit cards
will you use a merchant account or will you use a
third party credit card processing center? Both will
help you get started and the third party processing
center will handle all of the business so you don’’t
have to. You should decide which you will use and also
if you will accept checks or money orders. It is
essential to have a secure server when taking credit
cards.

These few things will help your online business to
become a great success and also provide you with peace
of mind knowing that you have thoroughly thought about
and planned for the opening of your online business.

Internet Marketing to Opt-in lists Essential Rules
By Bryon Zirker

Internet Marketing to Opt-in lists Essential Rules

If you want an Internet email marketing campaign to
succeed, you don`t want to offend anyone when sending
your messages. Turn off a consumer with your Internet
marketing email and you can be sure they`ll tune out your
message. Don`t let this happen to you!

A message that earns respect makes sales. That`s why our
first topic for discussion is Internet email marketing etiquette.
(Later in the course, we`ll talk more about how to write
an email sales letter.)

Train yourself to always -- and I mean ALWAYS -- stick to
the rules below when crafting your email message.

=> RULE #1 - ALWAYS WRAP YOUR LINES AT 65
CHARACTERS OR LESS

Whenever you write marketing email, always format the lines so that
they`re 65 characters, or less, across. To do this, you may
need to do a "hard return" by hitting "Enter" at the end of
the line.

Wondering why to limit your lines to just 65 characters?
(Good question! It shows you`re thinking.) There are two
reasons that "less is more":

-- The first thing to remember is that looking at a computer
screen for a long time causes EYE FATIGUE for many readers.
The shorter span of characters across the screen makes
reading easier and more appealing to the recipient of your
email message.

-- The other reason to go short instead of long is this:
some email clients AUTOMATICALLY ENFORCE LINE-WRAPPING
at 60-65 characters on received messages. If your internet
email is wrapped at 70, the content will arrive all "chopped up."
This makes it unattractive...and worse -- unappealing.

-- Tip within a Rule #1: Some Email clients allow you to
SET THE LINE-WRAP to anycharacter-width you choose. That
means you won`t have to hit Enter each time after typing 65
characters. Makes life easier!

-- Tip within a Rule #2 - You can type 65 asterisks or
dashes in a Notepad file to create a template. Then paste
your email below it to see if any lines extend too far to
the right.

=> RULE # 2 - BE CAREFUL USING ALL CAPS

How many times have you changed the TV channel to avoid
listening to a screaming car salesperson? No one likes a
screaming salesperson...and no one likes a "screaming" email
message, either. Odds are, when someone has over-amped the
volume of their message by using too many capital letters
(not to mention too many exclamation points and other
punctuation) - you`re going to be turned off.

On the Internet, email messages written in all caps are
considered yelling. It`s okay to write some sentences and
some words in all caps, but don`t go overboard. (As you can
see in this message, I`ve tried to use capital letters to
help break up sections of the content from time to time)

-- Tip within a Rule: Consumers buy from a source they
trust. Internet emails in all caps are perceived as "shady" or
uneducated, and have an appearance that damages the
credibility of an offer.

=> RULE #3 - WATCH YOUR Ps & Qs (Spelling and Grammar)

Would you be influenced by a mar email selling you something
that had noticeable spelling and grammar mistakes? Sure you
would...and the influence would be negative, not positive!
When a consumer reads a sales message that`s filled with
errors, they think to themselves, "Good grief, this person
doesn`t even take the time to get his emails right. His
product is probably the same quality as his emails."

When you`re in business, YOUR IMAGE IS YOUR REPUTATION
and your reputation is the reason people buy from you or the
guy down the block. It`s essential that you create an image
of INTEGRITY, CREDIBILITY, and HONESTY in the mind
of your prospects. Sending emails filled with errors doesn`t
hurt your professional image...it destroys it. (Ouch!)

Harnessing the Power of Email Marketing

First, I`d like you to consider these four facts:

*A DIRECT MAIL PIECE costs about 40-cents in postage alone.
(And then you have to factor in paper and printing costs.)

*A PHONE CALL can cost just as much - or more - than a
direct mail piece.

*A PHONE CALL wastes time (and time is money) because you`ll
spend precious minutes - sometimes hours or days - trying to
contact the right person.

*A MESSAGE left on voice mail is almost always a waste of
time, and therefore a waste of money.

Depressing? Not at all. After you read today`s "Marketing
Strategies that EMPOWER Success" lesson, you`ll be able to
say "NO" to the downside of phone calls and direct mail and
"YES" to the upside of email.

Read on ...

Harnessing the Power of Email Marketing

Given the inherent problems with traditional marketing
techniques, it`s important to master the BASIC STRATEGIES
FOR INTEGRATING EMAIL into your overall campaign.

As I`ve just shown you, sending out an EMAIL CAN BE MUCH
CHEAPER than other marketing methods. Proceed with caution,
however. Email can also cost you a fortune -- in lost
opportunities AND cold hard cash -- IF you don`t know the
basics.

So that`s where we`re going to start.

First, always keep in mind that your "primary objective".
the master key that unlocks your "Success Vault" in Internet
Marketing is to build your mailing list - your EMAIL MAILING
LIST. (Often referred to as your "In-house list.")

The addresses you collect are going to mean the difference
between the middle-of-the-road results that Average Joe and
Jane are achieving and the through-the-roof, over-the-top,
to-the-moon-and-back MEGA-success that top online sellers
achieve. (The difference really is that dramatic.) So
don`t miss the boat: The time is NOW to start building your
list of email addresses (prospects).

REVIEW
You can begin to grow your list simply by capturing emails
from people who visit your website, as we have already
discussed in a previous lesson.

=> Pop Quiz: What`s the easiest way to convince people to
give you their email address? (Answer: Offer an
irresistible freebie with a sign-up form on your site or in
a pop-up box, drive traffic to your site, and watch as
people start entering their email address.

Okay, so now you`re "in the groove". you`re capturing
people`s emails like crazy. But if you`re just sitting
there - well, you know the old saying, "Even if you`re on
the right track, you`ll get run over if you just sit there."

So what next?

-- Let me take a moment from telling how to build your email
list to remind you why. It`s been said that - YOU CAN GET
RICH WITH AN EMAIL LIST OF JUST 1000 PEOPLE!
Think about that. Then stop thinking and get going on
new ways to capture and keep email addresses.

GIVE `TIL IT HURTS!
If you want to keep getting addresses, start giving stuff
away! Give, give, and keep finding more things to give! And
since you can`t send a TOASTER through email, why not give
the far more valuable -- and far more affordable for you --
INFORMATION PRODUCTS, business tools, and expert
advice - maybe even a no-cost/obligation email marketing
course like this one!

DRIP, DRIP, DRIP.
You`ll want to have a series of letters already set up so
that they can be "dripped" on your prospects on a regular
basis. Send a message daily, every other day, or on
whatever schedule suits you best, but make contact AT LEAST
EVERY 7 DAYS.

If you`re not confident in your writing skills, you have two
choices: you can hire a professional to write the letters
for you or you can use a system already set up with letters
to help you build your email list. (I suppose the third
choice is to just give up and bury your head in the sand,
but that`s no way to make a million!)

Business Success Ten Things To AVOID

Business Success Ten Things To AVOID

1.No focus and commitment. Your business needs your
attention.

You need to decide what you will be doing and when you
will do it. You need to evaluate the price of the
achievement, what it will cost you in time and effort.
Is it worth it to you? Success in business is a decision.

2.No short term and long term goals.

Without clear cut goals for your business there will
be no progress. Set goals that are attainable on a
daily, monthlyand yearly basis.

3.Indecision.

Make that business decision quickly. Take time to change
your decision.

4.No action.

Of course we know where most couch potatoes are. Right!

5.No mentor.

Find a business mentor in areas that you are working on.
Every successful man and woman has had mentors.

6.No clear cut dream or future reality, destination.

Make sure you dream cleary and specifically, making
it real. Then your business becomes interesting.

7.No plan to finance business income production or startup
be it large or small.

Even the smallest enterprises need some financing on
a regular basis such as small ads, printing or postage.

8.Lots of opportunity tire kicking but no true desire
to go for it.

Its ok to evaluate several enterprises that you may
want to begin, key word BEGIN. You must narrow it
down to your top ten list, then top five, then pick the
best out five of begin.

9.Getting ready to get ready.

Once you have the vehicle, get in, start it, put it in
drive and go.

10. No marketing or salesmanship

You must market your business. If you do not then your
not in business. If you do not sell well, enlist some help.
The internet is a great place to start inexpensively.

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his
dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in
common hours."
- Henry David Thoreau
