2009-08-21T23:59:00.000-07:00

I am so glad for being featured in Jomar Hilario's Online Workshop Club. Jomar is my personal coach and mentor on my journey towards financial freedom. He's an internet marketer who helped a lot of people either online or offline regarding on how to make money online by blogging. He will teach you how to make a blog and how to make money on it. Below is the email he sent to me and to all the members in the club.

James Parmis is one of my students in the Online Workshop Club, and just last week he has received his first Google Adsense cheque - as an OFW in Bahrain - from blogging for dollars (part of the workshop lessons).

I interviewed him at length regarding his success, in two parts.

May you be inspired.

Part 1 - Interview:

P.S. What you may not know is that after receiving an adsense cheque, it is common to keep receiving an almost the same amount of money from adsense --every three months -even if you SLOW DOWN in your activities. That's the power of momentum of internet popularity -when you're following my instructions!

Do You Want To Create Your Own Internet Income Stream?

2009-08-13T01:39:00.000-07:00

by Bo Sanchez

Last week, my friend asked me, “Bo, what’s your biggest income stream? Is it your internet marketing businesses?”

His question hit me—My gosh, it is!

I never thought of it.

Let me explain.

I don’t have much time for my businesses. 80% to 90% of my time is on my ministry. That means most of my attention and energy is focused on running my 9 non-profit organizations.

So the remaining 10% to 20% of my time, I divide up into my various small businesses—real estate, corporate seminars, financial brokerage, etc. The problem is I enjoy all my businesses. Even if it earns just a little, I’m happy with it—as long as I can help people. But because my time is so limited, I might as well focus on the businesses where I earn most, right?

And yes, I’m earning a lot in my internet marketing businesses.

What is internet marketing?

Internet marketing means selling whatever product you have via the internet. It could be a physical product, information product, or a service that you do.

You don’t even have to have your own product. You could affiliate with people who do, and earn via commissions every single month.

You could also earn by posting google ads in your blog—if you market your blog right. It may not be much (initial goal: $100 a month) but it’s a good start as you learn the ropes of internet marketing.

You may have an existing business—and chances are high that you’ll earn more—and make your life easier—if you learn internet marketing.

For example, my friend sells her prenatal clinic services via the internet—and has grown her clients because of it.

My other friend sells condos. Just by using very simple internet marketing strategies, she’s able to sell them.
I have a friend who rents out 200+ apartment units. (Yes, he owns them all. Tough life.) He uses the internet to fill up those 200 units every single month. He told me that 80% of his tenants come from his internet marketing. Isn’t that amazing?

Some say that President Obama won because his team mastered internet marketing. If you can win a Presidency with internet marketing, it must be really powerful.

If you want to learn how to create your own internet income, join internet marketing guru Jomar Hilario at the TrulyRich Hands-On Internet Marketing Workshop. For 14 to 16 hours, he’ll teach you how to build your internet business right there—because you’ll do the workshop with a computer in front of you. You’ll have a lot of fun too.

I suggest you reserve immediately as we always run out of space.

May your dreams come true,

How to Start an Internet Business Today

Starting your own internet business requires a lot of creativity and determination as a budding online entrepreneur.

With almost all types of industries getting their hands on their own web space, it can be safe to say that you already have a competition before you even start your business.

If you are still persistent in starting your own internet business, here is a simple guide that can help you make a lot of profit online.

1. Create a Unique Name and a Good Catchphrase

When creating an internet business, you always need to look for something unique. If possible, go for something that hasn't been done yet or a field that has not been explored.

For instance, if you choose to run an online store selling plain blouses, the tendency is that you will not get as much profit as those stores with defined styles and designs. Try to also think of a good catchphrase for your business to create better advertising.

2. Research on Your Products

Product research is important in any type of business. This will allow you to compare prices with competitors and gauge on the quality of your service. You need to know a lot about your product before deciding to present it to the market. You do not want to appear unknowledgeable with your own items.

3. Utilize Different Applications and Web Functions

You can make use of videos and articles to market your products. You need to have a good marketing strategy to make your business work.

Why Many People Loved MLM Business?

2009-07-18T11:44:00.000-07:00

Do NOT want to start your own MLM business? Your loss…

Ask yourself. Why would you want to start your own MLM business?

Maybe you want to be like those people who have already been in this filed and is earning the amount of money you can only dream about.

If you put in enough effort, you can make a substantial amount of money every single month once your MLM has started and is already on its feet.

Just think, you can even start an MLM from home. Most people go to work each day, working in an office, store, or factory. For most of these people the options are limited when it comes to being able to work at home.

There are some people, however, who have the luxury of being able to stay home while they earn their living. Some jobs can be accomplished at home in the same amount of time as anywhere else and with the same amount of quality.

No two people are the same. There are others who are better off starting their MLM business at home. There are also those who do not feel the advantage of doing so. Whatever their choices may be, everything will still depend on the person making the decision.

When considering whether to start an MLM business, always begin with a good look at yourself. Decide what suits your needs best. See where you will be more productive.

You must determine your needs and motivations to see if starting an MLM business is right for you. What are your goals? What amount of income do you need for the business to provide? Do you want to work full or part-time? Do you need additional training to start the business? What will my start-up costs be? A world of questions must be answered before venturing out into the world of direct marketing.

If you choose to start an MLM business of your own, you will find yourself in good company.

Today, multilevel marketing is big business. There are large multinational corporations doing business as MLM. Chances are you are considering being a distributor of such a company. They offer good products along will training and support programs to help you get your business on its feet.

The financial requirement to start an MLM business is usually fairly low. Under the dollar amount is $200 or less. Beware of programs that require you to purchase huge amounts of inventory.

Most of these large MLM companies do not have such demands. In most case, you are paid a commission on the sales you generate and simply follow the sale through to delivery and money is collected.

They may also pay you commission on sales you generate “downline.” That is by people that you have recruited to join the program. The more downline you recruit, the more commission you will get.

Start an MLM business on solid ground by approaching the best chances for sales first. Your family, friends, and associates can be your best customers and the ones most likely to buy.

Since most MLM products are those used around the house such as soap and cleaners, everyone is in the market. After you have gotten your pitch down, explore other markets for sales such as churches, schools, and other large collections of people familiar with you.

So, do NOT want to start your own MLM business? You are missing out half of your life….

I am highly recommending this site, CLICK HERE, for you to start your very own MLM business now.

How To Make Passive Income Thru The Power Of The Internet

2009-07-18T01:25:00.000-07:00

Nowadays we experienced global crisis and people are searching for more ways to make other possible income that would supplement their present income situation. More people were being laid off from their respective work due to world's financial economic crisis.

Here is an example of a typical Pinoy entrepreneur who was interviewed by Bo Sanchez, Pinoy's best-selling author, who make money above people who are presently employed in a decent job.

Her name is Fely (not her real name), a mother of two kids. She was a masseuse/ reflexologist earning P12,000 a month. She said they lived in the slums. I asked her what her husband’s work was.

“He sells banana-cue (fried banana),” she said.

“Where?” I asked.

“On the street. Right in front of a bank,” Fely said.

“How much is a banana-cue?” I was curious.

“Five pesos per stick.”

“And how long has he been doing this?” I asked.

“More than ten years now. It’s really hard work. He works for 12 hours everyday,” Fely said.

“Wow. How much does he earn doing that?” I was expecting she was going to tell me “P10,000 a month”. Her answer floored me.

She said, “He earns P800 to P1000 a day.”

I didn’t hide my shock. “Is that gross?”

“No, that’s minus all the expenses already. That’s pure profit.”

“Is that from Monday to Friday?”

“No Brother Bo, he works seven days a week.”

I began to calculate. Her husband, the banana-cue vendor, was earning an average of P27,000 a month! I
began to laugh. “I wonder if he knows that he earns more than some of those bank employees who buy banana-cue from him?”

“Yes, he knows,” Fely smiled, “but he just doesn’t tell them.” She added, “During Christmas, he earns much more because he also sells Christmas wrapping paper. So we too enjoy a 13th month Bonus.”

Friends, I believe many Filipinos are fantastic entrepreneurs. Hard-working. Patient. Creative. We just don’t celebrate it.

I believe you too can be an entrepreneur.

Especially now with the internet at our fingertips.

I too have a “store”. Except that it’s not on the street. But on the world wide web. And it’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—without me actually being present there.

To set up my internet business, I had to be like this banana-cue vendor. I had to work 12 hours a day—but only for the first week or two.

After that, I now probably work 4 hours a week on the business. But I earn many, many times more than the banana-cue vendor. I know that doesn’t sound fair, but that’s the power of technology. And especially the internet. It multiplies you.

Hey, you don’t even have to reach my profits to call yourself a success.

I know some people who create a blog or sell stuff via the internet (there are many business models to choose from) on their spare time and they earn P5T to P10T a month—and they’re very happy. It gives them extra money to invest in Stocks and Mutual Funds and create a retirement fund for themselves.

Home Based Business – The Best Online Business of the 21st Century

2009-07-09T03:35:00.000-07:00

Copyright © by James Parmis

There are many ways to start a home based business, but in reality many who have tried to generate income online either end up with no money left to spend for resources and advertising or are so fed up with not being able to earn anything online that they leave their websites and go back to their usual 9 to 5 jobs.

The truth is that running a home based business requires time, effort, understanding, and of course the proper way to sell one’s products and services in order to be able to earn income online.

Just because you get to work at home, spend time with your family, and enjoy the things you never used to enjoy with your old job doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t work hard with your new online business.

So if you want to become like those self-made internet millionaires that talk about success and how it feels to be financially stable, here are a few tips and strategies on how to run a business within the comforts of your home:

• First, you need to do research and know what it is that you want to sell or promote online.

If you’re into bags, for example, you can begin by researching on how you will be able to sell these products, what type of market or audience you want to target, and the resources that you will need to be able to acquire the products. It is also important that you sell a product or service that you are very much interested in or else you won’t be able to enjoy and at the same time run the business effectively.

• Second, choose a website that is not only actively running but also attractive and interesting to your customers.

You can do this by searching for web hosting companies that offer the best deals (trial periods, 100% money back guarantee, 24/7 customer service, etc.) and web designers who can create a good lay-out and background for you.

• Third, you have to establish good communication with your customers to be able to get them to come back to you.

Use an email address, for example, that is easy to use, that is actively running, and that won’t be marked as spam if you try to send email updates to your customers through a mailing list. Remember that the key to a successful transaction is communication, which will eventually lead to long-term buyer-seller relationships.

• Fourth, increase your website’s popularity by joining social networking sites, advertising your products and services using Google Adsense or other platforms, and of course using all kinds of applications like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.

These social networking sites are filled with potential customers who may be looking for what you are currently selling.

• Lastly, learn how to effectively optimize your website using internet tools like SEO or search engine optimization.

This will not only increase the ranking of your website in search engines like Google or Yahoo but will also increase web traffic, bringing in more customers and more sales as well.

Make Money Online – the Ultimate Guide for Beginners

2009-07-09T03:32:00.000-07:00

Copyright © by James Parmis

So you want to start making money online but don’t know where to begin… that’s okay since a lot of internet marketers and aspiring e-commerce businessmen and women go through this stage during the first few months of their career.

To be able to get a good head start, there are certain things that you need to understand when it comes to generating income through the World Wide Web.

First, earning money online has its similarities and differences with running a real shop or store at the mall. In terms of similarities, you need to spend at least a few hours or more monitoring one’s online business in order to handle transactions, communicate with customers, and of course increasing one’s traffic for more sales.

In terms of differences, you don’t have to spend eight hours a day working at a store and you don’t have to work for anybody in particular unlike when you’re working as a cashier or salesperson for someone else’s business.

When you want to make money online, you need to be able to make use of all your resources, and that includes tools and strategies used to gain more customers and earning more through highly interesting content and quality customer service.

So, to begin, here are the four most important tools and services that you need to establish when making money through the World Wide Web:

1. A website – a website serves as your storefront, the one place where your customers will be able to get a clear picture of what you are trying to sell to them online.

Whether you want to make money online by selling particular products or services online, you need to be able to run a website that is not only attractive but easy to use as well. There are thousands of web hosting companies that can give you good deals for different web hosting packages so take the time to research and browse through the web.

2. A merchant account – this is important because it is where payments will go once an online transaction is complete.

This is applicable if you plan on running an actual shop such as the stores in eBay or Amazon.com or if you are selling products or services as an independent seller and not an affiliate of any company.

3. Internet tools – this include knowledge and tools on search engine optimization, traffic counters, and other kinds of software that will enable you to generate more traffic and at the same time convert them into actual sales.

SEO is especially important because it not only adds quality and volume to the content of your website but it also boosts your website’s rankings in the search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

4. An email address – particularly one that you would use for your business alone.

It is important that you have an email address that is easy to remember so that in case your customers would like to sign up under your mailing list or would want to communicate with your for inquiries, you have an email address that is working and easy to remember.

• Lastly, it is important that you know how to optimize your website using SEO or search engine optimization.

This is basically an online process wherein the website is optimized based on the volume and relevance of keywords and keyword phrases placed within the content of the website. The more relevant the website, the better chances of gaining more customers and earning more in sales.

Using tools like RSS, traffic counters, and link exchanges are also great ways of gaining more web traffic into the website.

Work at home is always a better alternative to working at the office everyday from 9 to 5, so if you want to become a successful online businessman or woman, following these tips is essential.

What is Afilliate Marketing?

2009-07-05T09:39:00.000-07:00

Affiliate marketing has many descriptions, yet all have the same meaning. Affiliate marketing is a huge business piece on the Internet. It is a cooperative effort between merchants and an affiliate’s website.

For many years now, affiliate marketing has proved to be a cost-efficient, measurable method of delivering long-tern results. It has become famous for Internet sites who are trying to make some extra or additional income for their site.

Every day, people get interested to affiliate marketing and want to make money out of it. But in many cases, these new affiliates do not fully understand the affiliate world and make costly mistakes. In other words, affiliate marketing has often been misunderstood.

One of the common misconceptions that are being associated about affiliate marketing is “selling”, though selling is an important activity of affiliate marketing and the central function of a business operation. Another is that affiliate marketing is commonly linked with “advertising”.

While the importance of advertising in marketing a certain product is not to be underestimated, the fact of the matter is, advertising like selling, is merely a part of the many functions of marketing.

In affiliate marketing, an affiliate is compensated for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. The said compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit. The most attractive aspect of affiliate marketing from the merchant’s viewpoint is that no payment is due to an affiliate until results are appreciated.

Affiliate marketing is typically being run by affiliate networks and this affiliate networks are composed of two functional bodies, the group affiliates and the group merchants. Each has their special function and role when it comes to affiliate marketing.

The affiliate network acts as a third party between the merchant and the associated affiliates. The network provides the technology to deliver the merchant’s campaigns and offers. The affiliate network also collects commission fees from the merchant and then pays the affiliates which are part of the program.

The merchant is any web site owner that wants or desires to take advantage of performance based marketing. The benefits to the merchant are many.

First, the merchant maintains and operates the affiliate program. If it would be extracted, the merchant needs to do their part by researching interested affiliate websites to ensure that they are a good fit for that particular website. Finding a fit for their merchandise would be the key to more generated income. The merchant has access to markets and customers without him spending valuable time searching out.

Banner ads on affiliate sites are not distracting to the site user. It might produce interest for that product and drive the consumer to the merchants’ website. It is also the merchant who decides how much he is willing to pay for each sale that results from a visitor sent from an affiliate.

The affiliate or the affiliate marketer also sees a lot of benefits. The affiliate is a web site owner that promotes one or more merchants and their affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing can generate a full-time income for the affiliate. But this is not an easy task to accomplish. The affiliate needs to have a better understanding with the merchant what the commission will be, expected payment method and time involved in the contract. The affiliate has also the responsibility to stand for the merchandise their user based would be most interested in.

For example, if the site has a user base of mainly stay-at-home mothers, then on-line job openings such as surveys would be a good match for them. This group would also appreciate direct links to children’s products and informational sites. Merchandisers often provide targeted, best-seller items and personal support to their affiliate. They often offer sales promotions that will benefit the merchandiser as well as the affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is a great situation for both the marketer and the affiliate. If they would work together, they can be an advantage to both. Plus the fact that it seems to make sense, it is easy and inexpensive way to start, and you can be up and running within a few days. But there is one thing to consider, it is how to get traffic and make your offer different than all others.

How to Start a Home Based Business For a Newbie

2009-06-15T06:14:00.000-07:00

by James Parmis

More and more people are looking into setting up their own home based business - and why not?

A home based business guarantees that you get to run the show according to your discretion and you don't even have to dress up for or commute to work too.

But the 2 important questions that a budding entrepreneur now has to answer are: what kind of business would be profitable and how exactly can a person start such a business?

After all, a successful home based business means getting the money to flow towards your bank account and not otherwise. If you are seriously considering a home based venture, here are some tips how you can start your own.

1. Take note of markets that need to be addressed.

Many home based business people succeed because they answer a certain needs that many commercial businesses tend to overlook or pass over for bigger accounts.

For example: the concept behind the very successful NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans) or form shaping jeans came from the fact that commercial businesses were all selling low-rise jeans. These low risers were perfect for skinny teens but not for women who were shapelier.

Online executive assistants and bookkeepers became prevalent in the last couple of years because many people have been looking for professionals who can do the paperwork without being physically present in the office, or be on the permanent payroll of the clients.

2. Assess your skills and your talents.

What are the best skills are you can put forward? Do any of your talents apply? Some people say that your skills alone can get you great business. Other people say that it is really the talent that gets the customers to knock on your door.

But most market experts agree that it is a combination of both. If you incorporate a good business plan with that, time management and good management, then you have everything set.

This article will list some simple, easy-to-do things to reduce your electricity bill.

Limited use:

Start with the room you are sitting in. If you were to take a call in another room or join your family at the dining table, would you just step out of your room without any concern for the electrical appliances in the room?

If you would, stop right there, and look around. Switch off all the appliances even if you would be back in five minutes. Yes, even that will help. Every drop of water constitutes to the ocean.

Another thing to take care of here is what you perceive as an electronic appliance. Would you switch off the television set, turn off the fan, but not the light bulb? Yes, you need light, but not now when you are leaving the room. Taking care of these small things will go a long way in reducing the dreaded huge electricity bills.

Smart investments:

Make some smart power investments by replacing your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. These bulbs are a great power-saving investment.

Buy the Power Save gadget. The gadget helps monitor the power supply to your house and uses the minimum that is needed.

Home appliance usage: Most of us complain that the electricity bill touches the sky because of the number of electrical appliances they have at home. However, the electricity bill is not directly proportional to the number of gadgets you use but the way you use them. Let’s see how you can avoid the typical power-wasters.

• Use the washing machine only when there is a full load of clothes.

• Keep the geyser on for the minimal amount of time.

• Keep the air-conditioner at the minimum low or high temperature, just enough to keep you off the heat or the cold outside.

• Switch off the computer monitor even when you take a one-minute break. It takes just a second to switch on the monitor again!

Yeah, you have to stick to this way of life for saving power at home and for the world.

Remember, reducing your electricity bill is equivalent to saving power, thus helping the world save power for its future generations.

The Three Pillars Of Business Success

2009-05-31T08:19:00.000-07:00

By John Colanzi

Internet businesses are springing up daily. Many first
time entrepreneurs are lured by the ease with which a
business can be started online and the dream of fast
riches.

The world of online business has fulfilled the dreams of
many an entrepreneur, but for many more it's become the
"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams."

Why is that?

Why have the dreams of so many new business owners
become nightmares, while others seem to strive
effortlessly?

That question haunted me for years. I would make a
couple of dollars and then hit a brick wall.

What was I doing wrong?

I finally realized, it wasn't what I was doing. It was
what I wasn't doing.

There are three key factors necessary to succeed in
business online or off. I call them the "three pillars
of business success."

Once I started paying attention to the "three pillars"
sales came easier and running my online venture became
less stressful.

Successful entrepreneurs follow these three rules.

Some do it consciously, others do it naturally.

So what are the three pillars of business success?

1. Knowledge

Your starting point on the road to success is knowledge.
You have to begin a study program. You must learn as
much as you can about your product or service.

You also have to begin a never ending study of how to
market and promote your product.

You have to learn in order to earn. As your knowledge
increases, so will your confidence.

2. War Chest

The second pillar is to evaluate your war chest.

How much money do you have to invest in your business?

Don't use money you need for maintaining your lifestyle.
Use money you won't miss.

Once you start dipping into money you need for everyday
expenses, the fear of loss will color your decisions.

Scared money never wins!

What if you don't have money you can afford to lose?

You have to spend your time.

Periodically evaluate your war chest and decide whether
to spend your money or your time.

3. Marketing Plan

The third pillar is your marketing plan. You have to
develop a systematic plan of marketing and promoting
your business.

Your marketing plan will be determined by your knowledge
and capital.

Having a system will take the guess work out of
building your business.

You won't have to agonize over every decision.

You'll be able to "pull the trigger."

Your marketing plan is your road map to success.

Build you knowledge base, evaluate your capital and
develop your marketing plan.

You've been given the "Keys." Its up to you whether or
not you use them.

The Shoemaker And The Elves

2009-05-27T02:46:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

Remember the story of the Shoemaker and The Elves?

The shoemaker would go to sleep and the elves would
finish any shoes he hadn't gotten around to.

Our minds function in much the same way.

Our conscious, logical mind is the shoemaker. Our
subconscious is the elves.

Give your conscious mind a goal, gather all the facts
and let the elves do their work.

Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries have
come after the scientist or researcher had given up and
the elves took over.

The structure of DNA had baffled researchers for years.

Finally, the double helix was revealed in a dream about
intertwined snakes.

Around four years ago, I gave my little friends the task
of providing me with an ezine article a week.

I gathered the ideas and they wrote the articles.

They've written around 100 articles.

It makes my life so easy.

They do the work.

I get the credit.

When I sit down at the keyboard, the articles write
themselves.

The next time you're stumped for an answer, gather the
facts and move out of the way. The elves will be more
than happy to do the work.

They're tireless.

Home Based Business Opportunities - Are They For Real?

2009-05-24T20:59:00.000-07:00

By David E. Costa

Home based businesses are becoming more and more popular. People are less and less secure in the "traditional" job market. They have reason to look for change. The days of starting with a stable company out of school and continuing into retirement are no more.

In fact, this has always been fantasy. There are many that think home based businesses are scams but the reality is just the opposite. It is the traditional employee-employer relationship that is the scam. Let me explain.

Let's define what we are discussing.

Perform an internet search for any of the following terms: work at home, home based business, business opportunity, work from home, etc. There will be vast differences in the search results and at the same time quite a bit of cross-over as well.

There are two main categories of people searching for these subjects. First, is the person who wants to make money at home....with a job. This means that someone pays them something for their time or the performance of a task. The second group is people who are looking to actually work a business for themselves. They may or may not have any understanding of what that entails, but they are looking nonetheless.

What is the process?

Usually the process starts with (1) cold calling or "friends and family" marketing or (2) the prospect responds to an ad. It really doesn't matter what the business does at this point or what they offer. The early stages all involve lead generation.

Since my business does not rely on cold calling or contacting friends and family, I will focus the professional marketer side of the business.

Respondents to ads are taken to a "filter". This "filter" is a website, telephone hotline or similar screening method. I talk to many people who say the same thing..."I could not tell much about the opportunity by your website". This is done on purpose to separate the tire kickers from the serious. My websites are actually designed to weed out a large portion of the people who make it to my web page.

If you are asked to provide your name and email address (or other information) you have "opted-in", that means you have requested to be contacted by whoever placed the ad. Please realize this before you provide your information. You will be contacted by someone. You are in control. If it is not right for you, simply say so. Professionals will be direct with you and appreciate the same in return. I don't want to waste my time or yours.

The process varies widely from there. This article is not about how to perform lead generation in your home based business. This article is about what a prospective work at home or work from home prospect should consider before they "opt-in" .

What is the Expectation?

Your expectations are your expectations. There is no right or wrong, as long as YOU are following your passion, as long as YOU have a reason bigger than money for wanting to start your new opportunity. If money is your sole motivator, be careful. You may not have thought through this completely.

I will not discuss "jobs" in this article. I simply don't believe that jobs are right for achievers, for people with visions and passions.

So, you have a burning desire to create your own business! Congratulations! The best way to create true freedom is with a business of your own.

Why a home based business? Why not some other kind of business? Is there a difference? A business is a business. I don't even like the "home based" terminology. In almost cheapens the concept. What does it matter where you work from?

A real business requires an investment. It requires start-up capital and it requires a dedicated investment of your time to make it work. If you are talking to someone who is telling you that for $50.00 and 2 hours a day you can make millions....just look somewhere else. Business need not be difficult, but it does require effort.

Create a business plan. It need not be complicated. What kind of "investment" can you make in your own future? Consider the basics, computer, phone, software to make more efficient use of your time, etc.

What about advertising? How will you develop qualified leads for your opportunity?
What kind of business entity will you be? Will you run a sole proprietorship, LLC, Corporation? Do you have an accountant that can help you take advantage of the many tax advantages of becoming an entrepreneur?

Here is the KEY to success!

Have a goal. Write it down.

Realize that you are becoming a business owner. Take that responsibility proudly.
You are not a home based business owner, you are a business owner! You will be compensated in direct proportion to your results, not your efforts. Results matter and they unshackle you!
You will need to make decisions. Continue with certainty as you make decisions to lead you toward your goal!

Now here is where it really gets exciting. Once you make your decision as to what your life looks like, and continue to take action toward that destination, the rest falls into place.

Your decision to pay that initial investment, your decision to be coachable and trainable, your decision to place your advertising, your decision to call people back and ask for a decision....all of this happens before the resources materialize.

Make it happen, find the cash, become the person of YOUR dreams and create abundance for yourself, your family and your associates!

You have to be very lucky to be one of the chosen few who receive an eBay coupon by email. These coupons are just like cash that you can use towards anything you buy on eBay - the only conditions being that you pay using PayPal, and that you are using eBay in the USA, Canada or the UK.

There are two ways to get eBay coupons.

Wait for that Email.

Of course, if you just wait, you'll be waiting for a long time. You have to do something to make yourself look like the kind of person eBay would want to tempt back with a coupon. If you open an account, buy a few medium-value things and then suddenly stop, the chances are you'll find yourself with some kind of special offer - but still, not always.

Go Searching.

The better way, of course, is to go and find the coupons that are out there on the web. This is quite hit-and-miss, as eBay don't always have an offer on, but when there's a valid code you can guarantee that it'll be everywhere within a few hours. Just type 'ebay coupon codes' into your favourite search engine, but be prepared to pick through some rubbish. You might find you have better luck if you use a more obscure search engine, where people haven't taken the trouble to game the results.

If going through search engines is too much for you, then just keep an eye out at any community forums you frequent, where someone might just post one. You probably have the best chances if you make a few friends on eBay's own forums at http://hub.ebay.com/community. It can be fun and educational to chat to the regulars there too, so you really have nothing to lose.

How do You Redeem Coupons?

A coupon is basically a code, with some being quite long. All you need to do is pay with PayPal as usual for the item you want to use the coupon towards. After you choose PayPal as your payment method, you will notice a heading that says 'Coupons, Gift Certificates and eBay Anything Points'. Type the coupon code in here: they can be long, so you should use copy-and-paste to make sure you get it right. Just click 'Redeem', and it's good to go.

Don't worry about causing problems for sellers by doing this, by the way - they have no way of even telling that you used a coupon, as eBay just pay them for the item as usual. Coupons are good for sellers as they attract more buyers to eBay, meaning that they get more bids on their auctions. After all, why would they object to getting more money without you actually having to pay it?

Since you're interested in making your eBay shopping more affordable, you might be interested to know that you can now buy eBay items on credit.

How To Use Paypal On eBay?

2009-05-18T00:04:00.000-07:00

PayPal and eBay were made for each other - and now that eBay own PayPal, using them together is getting even easier.

What is PayPal?

People with PayPal accounts can send money to each other securely online. You can deposit money in a PayPal account from a bank account or a credit card, and withdraw money to your bank account. It is the most common way of paying on eBay, as well as being in widespread use on the rest of the Internet.

Opening a PayPal Account.

It's very easy to get a PayPal account. Just go to www.paypal.com and click the 'Sign Up' link. As a buyer, you should get a Personal account - you can always upgrade later if you decide to start selling. Then all you need to do is enter your address, phone number and email address, and create a password, and two secret questions. You'll be emailed a confirmation, and then you're done!

If you want to deposit money into the account now, then you need to register a credit or debit card or your bank details, and if you want to withdraw money then you need to register your bank details. There's no need to do anything like that just yet, though.

Paying with PayPal.

Paying with PayPal is very simple. When you win an auction and click 'Pay Now', you'll be given a list of payment methods the seller accepts. You should always check what the seller accepts before you bid, as there are still some sellers who won't take PayPal. If the seller does accept PayPal, it will already be chosen for you on the payment page.

Now you just need to press 'Next', type in your PayPal username and password and confirm the amount you want to pay. The first time you pay with PayPal you will need to enter the details of your card or bank account, but after that it will remember for you.

Becoming Verified.

You might have noticed that there is a limit to how much money you can send or withdraw using PayPal before you need to be verified. Verification has two steps. First, PayPal deposit some very small amounts of money in your bank account and you need to tell them how much they deposited.

Second, they need to phone you to confirm your address and phone number. Once you've done that, all the limits on your account will be lifted. Log in at paypal.com and click on 'Get Verified' for more information.

While you've been paying for your items, what you might not have realised is that eBay occasionally offers money off coupons. But where do you get them?

SafeHarbor: eBay's Police Force!

2009-05-15T21:58:00.000-07:00

SafeHarbor are the eBay police department. If you break the rules, commit fraud or try to buy something you're not supposed to, they'll be after you.

When You Don't Pay.

This is the most common rule buyers break - it's all too easy to just change your mind and try to get out of the auction. eBay regards every auction as a contract, and will punish you if you don't go through with your end of the deal.

If you decide not to pay then expect to get a few nasty warning emails from eBay threatening you with banning if you do it again. Not to mention, of course, that you'll get a big negative 'DID NOT PAY' feedback comment from the seller.

So There Are Things You Can't Buy on eBay?

Yes, there are: more things than you'd expect. It makes sense that you can't buy firearms, for example, but you also can't buy fireworks - eBay are worried about the risks of sending them in the post. Laws in many countries mean that you can't buy alcohol or tobacco.

You can't buy illegal or prescription drugs, stocks and shares, or lottery tickets. No underwear, either. You can't buy any little pet puppies or kittens, as animals are banned. If items infringe on copyright, like pirate CDs or software, then they're not allowed either.

eBay's policy is controversial, not least because it is somewhat random in its enforcement - and there have been accusations that they're more responsive to the copyright concerns of big businesses than to auctions for items that might actually be dangerous. If they do decide to go after you or the seller, though, they will cancel the auction and may also suspend your accounts.

Fraud.

eBay runs remarkably well considering how unregulated it is, but there are still fraudsters. If you are a victim of fraud - for example, you pay for an item that never turns up - then SafeHarbor will investigate for you. eBay's standard purchase protection will give you up to $200 back if your claim is successful. Be aware, though, that this can take a few months.

In addition, if you paid by PayPal, then they can usually reverse the transaction relatively easily and get you more (if not all) of your money back. This is another reason why many buyers prefer to use PayPal.

Some sellers are a little scared of the effectiveness of the refund system, as they can send out items in good faith only to find that their buyer was fraudulent and the transaction has been reversed. If you're worried about fraud, as a buyer, you should always use PayPal.

FAQ for eBay's Buyer

2009-05-15T21:50:00.000-07:00

So you have a question? Has something gone very wrong and you don't know what to do? Well, fair enough. Here are the questions that I hear all the time from buyers.

Does eBay have a Customer Service Department I Can Phone?

eBay are notoriously hard to contact, should you ever need to - it sometimes seems like they expect the site to run itself. You can email them, as long as you don't have your heart set on a coherent response: go to http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/base/index.html.

You might have better luck in a 'live help' webchat here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/n-livehelp.html.

Only eBay Power Sellers (sellers with a very high feedback rating) get to phone customer service. If you really want to try your luck, type 'ebay [your country] phone number' into a search engine and you'll probably find something. Unfortunately, the chances are you'll have gone to all that trouble for the privilege of leaving an answerphone message.

It might seem cruel, but imagine the number of people who would call eBay every day with the silliest questions if they gave out their phone number everywhere. Its Wild West nature is, in a way, part of its charm.

eBay Sent Me an Email Saying They're Going to Close My Account. What Should I Do?

This email asks for your password, right? It's a scam, an attempt to frighten you, make you give up your details and then steal your account. eBay will never ask for your password or any other account details by email. eBay say that you should only ever enter your password on pages that whose addresses start with http://signin.ebay.com/.

They even offer a special 'Account Guard' as part of their toolbar, which lets you check that you're not giving your password to a dodgy fake site. You can read more here: http://pages.ebay.com/toolbar/accountguard_1.html.

It Seems Too Good to be True. How Does eBay Make Money?

For you, the buyer, eBay is free. Sellers, though, pay all sorts of fees: a listing fee for each item they list, a final value fee (a percentage of what the item sold for). They can they pay optional fees for extra services, including Buy it Now, extra pictures, reserve prices, highlighting the auction, putting it in bold, listing it first in search results or even putting it on the front page. You can see a full list of fees at http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html.

It's obviously worth it to the sellers, though, or they wouldn't carry on using eBay. The system is quite efficient, and basically forces both eBay and the sellers to keep their profit margins as low as possible - otherwise prices will simply go too high and the buyers will stop buying.

How Safe is eBay?

All of eBay's safety services for buyers and sellers are in one place, called 'SafeHarbor'. SafeHarbor handles fraud prevention and investigation, helps with dispute resolution and keeps rule-breakers in check.

What To Do WHen You Won In eBay Auction?

2009-05-15T21:28:00.000-07:00

It's a heady feeling when you win your first eBay auction: a mixture of happiness and perhaps just a little fear. After all, there seems to be so much to do before you can actually get your item.

What do you do next?

The simple answer is: you send payment to the seller, as quickly as possible. The quicker you pay, the more your seller will like you, and the sooner your item will arrive. But how you go about it? That all depends on how you plan to pay.

PayPal.

PayPal is one of the most popular options for paying on eBay, to the point where eBay decided to buy the company. It allows instant electronic payment across the Internet. Money goes instantly from your credit or debit card to the seller's PayPal account, where they can either use it for Internet purchases or transfer it out to their bank.

eBay offer incentives for using PayPal, and almost all sellers now accept it. Its instant nature makes sellers very happy, and means that they can have your item packed and sent and leave you some positive feedback within a few hours of the auction ending. When paying by PayPal, you will be covered by PayPal's own insurances and guarantees, as well as any that your card might have.

Cheques and Money Orders.

This is payment the old-fashioned way, and will lead to a long wait to your item. You need to post the cheque or money order, then the seller has to take it to the bank and get it cleared, and only then do they send the item. The only reason to use this method is if either you or the seller distrusts electronic payment methods. If you're willing to go to the trouble with these sellers, though, you might get an item very cheaply, as most buyers just can't be bothered.

When you pay by cheque or money order, make sure to print the eBay order confirmation page (it will be emailed to you) and put it in the envelope with your payment. Underline or circle key information like your mailing address and the item number. Finally, remember to be patient: keep in contact with the seller, as it really can take a month or two before everything falls into place and your item turns up.

Money Transfers and Bank Deposits.

Some sellers may ask you to pay them using a wire service like Western Union, or simply give you a bank account number and ask you to pay money into it. Unless you really trust the seller, this is generally a bad idea - these methods are hard to trace and you're unlikely to get any money back if anything goes wrong. Paying in cash, it hardly needs to be said, is an even worse idea.

It's all a lot to take in, isn't it?

Three Fantastic Ways To Survive Online

2009-05-13T12:46:00.000-07:00

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.

There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing.

Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers.

If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.

Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving.

Why is Adsense Essential for Content Sites

2009-05-12T10:46:00.000-07:00

To know why Adsense is essential for your content sites is to know first how this works.
The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a java script into a certain website.

Each time the page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.

The search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a time-consuming task in itself.

It seems that there is never a shortage of advertisers in the program from which the search engine pulls the Adsense ads. Also webmasters are less concerned by the lack of information search engines are providing and are more focused in making cash from these search engines.

The first reason why Adsense is essential for content sites is because it already has come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. Together with its continuous progression is the appearance of more advanced system that allows full ad customization. Webmasters are given the chance to choose from many different types of text ad formats to better complement their website and fit their webpage layout.

The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting thus make them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This way the people behind the Adsense will get their content read and making profit in the process.

The second reason is the ability of the Adsense publishers to track not only how their sites are progressing but also the earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels. The recent improvements in the search engines gives webmasters the capability to monitor how their ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted.

With the real-time reporting at hand, the effectiveness of the changes made will be assessed quickly. There would be time to sort out the contents that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands would be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The more flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.

The last and final reason is that the advertisers have realized the benefits associated having their ads served on targeted websites. Thus increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services. All because of the content and its constant maintenance. As opposed to those who are no using Adsense in their sites, they are given the option of having other people do their content for them, giving them the benefit of having successful and money-generating web sites.

Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more target the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them rather than the cash that the ads will generate for them. This is the part where the effectiveness is working its best.

There was a time when people were not yet aware of the money to be achieved from advertisements. The cash generated only came into existence when the webmasters and publishers realized how they can make Adsense be that generator. In those days, the content were the most important factors that is taken quite seriously. It still is. With the allure of money, of course.

eBay: When to "Buy Now" and When to Bid

2009-05-11T09:51:00.000-07:00

You will often find yourself facing the choice of whether to pay a fixed price or keep on bidding. This choice might be presented to you in a single auction, or you might be choosing between different auctions of the different types. So should you use that 'Buy it Now' button or keep on trying to outbid everyone else? It's all a question of weighing up the advantages and disadvantages.

Buy it Now.

- The Advantages.

When you use Buy it Now, you know the asking price and you can take some time to decide whether to pay it or not - you can even negotiate. You don't need to keeping your eye on the auction, or get caught up in the last-minute bidding frenzy that is now inevitable on any popular item. Not only that, but the seller will be happy to get a fixed price for their item, and they're likely to nicer to you than usual. Some sellers can be a little resentful when they feel that you got a little too much of a bargain on their item.

- The Disadvantages.

You will almost certainly pay more for the item, especially with more expensive items. Also, it takes some of the fun out of eBay. Aren't you there for an auction, after all? If you want to pay a fixed price then there are thousands of online stores you could be visiting. It's like pressing 'collect' instead of 'gamble' on a fruit machine: it's the boring option. But then, maybe that's what you want.

These rules are relatively constant: there are few times when using Buy it Now would allow you to get something cheaper, or when bidding would be an easier way to do it. In the end, as with so many things in life, it's a simple question of price vs. convenience, and it's up to you.

There are those times, though, when the strategic use of the Buy it Now button can be a useful tool to help you outwit your competition. If the current bid is almost as high as the Buy it Now price, then why bid higher and keep the contest going?

Clicking that button is a no-brainer. The same goes for times when a seller has, for some reason, set the Buy it Now price only slightly higher than their starting price for bids. Why bother to go through all the hassle of bidding?

You might also find that there are times when you should leave the Buy it Now button as a last resort: it can be a useful way of ending last-minute contests with a decisive 'this is mine' gesture.
In fact, there are all sorts of tricks you can use on eBay, if you want to get ahead of the game.

Remember that most buyers on eBay are casual, and don't know what they're doing: a little knowledge can go a long way in getting you an advantage.

Why Use Email Viral Marketing

2009-05-10T13:43:00.000-07:00

What does a virus have to do with marketing? Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence.

Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands and then to millions.

Public health nurses offer sage advice at flu season: stay away from people who cough, wash your hands often, and don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Viruses only spread when they're easy to transmit.

Viral e-mail marketing works great on the Internet because instant communication has become so easy and inexpensive. Digital format make copying simple. From a marketing standpoint, you must simplify your marketing message so it can be transmitted easily and without degradation. Short is better.

Remember the K.I.S.S. standard…. Keep it Simple Stupid. The shorter and easier to remember is always better than long and complicated.

Clever viral marketing plans take advantage of common human motivations. The desire to be cool and greed drives people. So does the hunger to be popular, loved, and understood. The resulting urge to communicate produces millions of websites and billions of e-mail messages.

Most people are social. Nerdy, basement-dwelling computer science grad students are the exception. Social scientists tell us that each person has a network of 8 to 12 people in their close network of friends, family, and associates.

People on the Internet develop networks of relationships, too. They collect e-mail addresses and favorite website URLs. Affiliate programs exploit such networks, as do permission e-mail lists. Learn to place your message into existing communications between people, and you rapidly multiply its dispersion.

If you can design a marketing strategy that builds on common motivations and behaviors for its transmission, you have a winner.

Pros and Cons in Viral Marketing

2009-05-09T12:28:00.000-07:00

Stop with the enforced e-mail forwards already! Trying to force or bribe people to forward your info to a friends or family in order to be rewarded or win looks skanky in today's ultra-permission-based world. Especially when you tell visitors nothing about their friend's or family’s privacy in the space directly next to the e-mail form.

A true viral campaign gets forwarded because consumers are compelled to do so by the glory of the content, not because you bribed them with points or something else.

What absolutely will not work:

Suggesting that e-mail recipients forward your message to their friends and family will not work. Adding a line at the bottom of your e-mail that reads “Please feel free to forward this message to a friend” is more likely to get it deleted than forwarded.

What absolutely will work:

Offering something worthy of sharing like a valuable discount, vital information or offering an incentive for sharing like additional entries into a sweepstakes or an added discount or premium service will work.

Relevant or timely information, research, or studies that are included in your e-mail might encourage the recipients to share with their family and friends. Interactive content like a quiz or test, especially if it’s fun, will inspire forwarding.

Jokes and cartoons are almost always forwarded to everybody the recipient knows. Why? Because they are entertaining and entertainment is meant to be shared.

A really cool multimedia experience is always going to achieve a lot of pass-along. Rich media is new and the novelty and tech factors alone are often enough to make the e-mail recipient eager to share it.

Oops! Almost forgot one really important thing….

You can craft a brilliant e-mail following all the rules, but if a consumer visits your site and has an experience less that what was promised, you are going to achieve viral marketing, alright…the bad kind. So be certain that your product or service is ready and is as advertised.

How To Increase Your eBay Response

2009-05-08T22:31:00.000-07:00

So you've got the buyer in front of your auction, and they've read the description. They're must be interested, or they wouldn't be looking… but just how can you push them over that line and make them leave a bid? Read on for some tips.

Improve your picture:

In all that description writing, you might have missed the vital importance of your item's picture. A picture with bad lighting or an intrusive background looks amateurish and won't make anyone want to buy from you.

Add an About Me page:

You'll be surprised how much you can reassure bidders just by creating an About Me page and putting a little bit about yourself on your business on there. You can also have a few special offers there for people who bother to look at the page, and let people subscribe to your mailing list so that you can email them updates.

Use SquareTrade:

Signing up at SquareTrade and displaying their logo on your auctions shows that you are committed to have them resolve any disputes that arise. You always see this on PowerSellers auctions - it makes you look more professional.

Write terms and conditions:

Have the 'small print' clearly visible on all your auctions, giving details of things like shipping times and prices, your refund policy, and any other business practices you might have. This helps build confidence with buyers.

Show off your feedback:

Copy and paste a selection of the feedback comments you're most proud of to each item's description page, instead of making bidders go and look for it. If you have 100% positive feedback, be sure to write that on every auction too.

Add NR to your titles:

If you have extra space in a title, put 'NR' (no reserve) on the end. Bidders prefer auctions that don't have a reserve price, and doing this lets them see that yours don't.

Benefits not features:

Make sure your description focuses on the benefits that your item can give to the customer, not just its features. This is a classic sales technique. If you have trouble with this, remember: 'cheap' is a feature, 'save money' is a benefit.

List more items:

If you want more people to respond to your items, then list more items! You might find you have better like listing items at the same time, instead of one-by-one. There's no need to use a Dutch auction - you can just keep two or three auctions going at once for an item you have more than one of in stock.

Accept unusual payment methods:

To reach those last few buyers, accept payment methods that many sellers don't, like cheques.

Buy some upgrades:

The best upgrade is the most expensive one, which makes your item appear first in search results. In crowded categories, you might find that this is worth the money.

Once you've got some buyers, you want to keep them coming back to you.

Why Viral Marketing Goes Mobile?

2009-05-08T10:01:00.000-07:00

Mobile devices, mobile phones and PDA’s are one of the last great frontiers of viral advertisement opportunities. However, we have become experts at filtering everything, our air and water, our e-mail and pop-ups, and our mobile devices as well. We are good at filtering.

The very idea of unwanted advertising streaming through our Blackberries is abhorrent. Mobile devices are the ultimate opt-in medium and, therefore, a great way for marketers to connect with users…if that’s what the users want. “WANT” is the key word here. How should marketers approach the medium?

There are three main ways to achieve this. They are:

1. Offer exclusive content.

Anyone can offer ring tones. It’s the unique content, such as exclusive mobile images of new brand concepts, that drives interest and calls them out in other media like e-mail campaigns, newsletters, websites, etc. So a wireless campaign is most effective when it offers exclusive content for wireless devices.

2. Make it useful and timely.

Think about what would be handy and helpful to have on a mobile device. Last year, for example, Food Network enabled Sprint customers to download shopping lists for their Thanksgiving dinners. There was a lot of “Sprint-envy” going around among non-sprint customers.

3. Clearly define objectives.

Usually, one of two business objectives drives successful mobile experiences: incremental revenue of brand intimacy. On the intimacy factor, a text message usually takes priority over almost any other form of communication. Why? Because we haven’t yet been saturated with mobile spam, and this is what causes us to prioritize wireless messaging over voice.

Mobile marketing has been out there for a while but we marketers have new territory to explore. Video offers fantastic opportunities for engagement. Consumers already bypass their filters for highly useful or entertaining content and will do so for rich exclusive, compelling content.

Writing Tips on eBay Description

2009-05-06T08:54:00.000-07:00

Once you've drawn the buyers in with your title, the next thing to do is to tell them all about your item with the description. But just what should you write in your description?

At its heart, your item description is an ad. Without making it too obvious, you should be writing sales copy. You're trying to get buyers excited about your products, and that's usually hard - but on eBay, if you have the right thing to sell and give enough details, the buyers almost excite themselves.

Technical Details.

Include every technical detail you know, including the item's manufacturer, its condition, how big it is, where and when it was made, its history, and anything else special about it. Don't be too boring, though: the best descriptions are written in friendly, conversational language, and show a real knowledge of the item. Whatever you do, make sure you tell the truth!

Remember that most of the people who'll be buying your item will be just as knowledgeable about it as you are, if not more - this is their hobby, and they're experts. Don't feel like you need to explain the basics of the item: just go into as much technical detail as you can. As a rule, don't write anything in the description if you don't know what it means, as the chances are someone will, and if you've got it slightly wrong then you'll look like you don't know what you're talking about.

Interesting Details.

You might find that you enjoy writing a few things about how you got the item, why you're selling it, and who you think might like it. This isn't strictly necessary, but it gives your auctions some character and a personal touch, and can make people more likely to trust you. People might wonder what you're doing selling 500 CDs all at once, and if you tell them the reason, then they'll feel reassured that nothing dodgy is going on. If you're selling them because you're having a baby and you need the space, just say so.

Write as Much as You Can.

Leave nothing out of your description, even if that seems to you like it makes it cumbersomely long. There is no way you can be too thorough: someone, somewhere will appreciate that you took the time to write the extra information.

Don't assume that anyone who wants extra information will email you to ask a question: many buyers are shy and won't do it. Think of questions that buyers might have and add the answers to your description, as people generally tend to ask the same questions over and over again.

Each time a buyer does email you with a question, you should both answer their question and update your description so that it will include the answer next time. If people ask questions that are answered in the description, try putting these parts of the auction on a line alone, or in bold, to make them easier to notice.

How To Use Videos As Viral Marketing

2009-05-06T08:14:00.000-07:00

More and more advertisers are adopting video as broadband continues to rise and ad-serving technologies become more sophisticated. Online video advertising is really taking off. Users’ attention can be captured and ads stand out from the crowd in an increasingly ad-cluttered online environment.

It is true that video formats cost five to ten times more to serve than standard banners and they involve a lot more production and implementation work but they may well be worth all of that if they achieve greater response rates.

Where to use online video if wishing to maximize its effect, is what advertisers must carefully consider. Video to be used on the Internet should be information and communication focused while video to be used on television should be focused on entertainment.

Like everything else, there are good ways and bad ways to use video advertising. Right now most marketers are incorporating their audio-visual content into existing embedded ad formats like banners or over-content formats like pop-ups. Though this could reach a potentially large audience, viewers are likely to be less captivated and more annoyed by these disruptive and distracting placements.

Cached or streaming video on a specific destination site offers the best chance of interesting consumers in brand messages, but it is not likely to reach a large audience unless it generates a viral outcome.

Whatever you come up with, don't forget to make it easy to open and distribute. File size is important, as is the media format. If your viral video has been created for a particular type of software that not many people use, how will you get people to spread it like wildfire?

Also, if you've made a video the impact will be better if you send the clip as an attachment rather than stream it. It's cheaper and, if you're not hosting it, it's more viral, too.

Tips on Landing Page Success

2009-05-06T08:08:00.000-07:00

Also known as the “name squeeze page” or “lead capture page”, you can build your mailing list by funneling all of your would-be subscribers through the creation of a landing page. Not only do you do the work just once, your traffic driving efforts can be focused onto just one effective method.

The following are tips in creating a successful landing page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge percentage.

Success Tip 1: Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address.

I very much endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address.

Success Tip 2: The landing page must be written professionally.

When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.

Success Tip 3: Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page.

Success Tip 4: Rub in the benefits of the freebie you are offering more than a mere subscription to your newsletter.

You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer. Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie.

As a final reminder and conclusion, in order to build trust, you can include your hand-written signature or a photo of yourself explaining where you are coming from and how you can help your visitor through your free report on offer.

Tips on Writing Title on eBay

2009-05-06T08:05:00.000-07:00

Trying to be help your buyers find your auctions can be a truly daunting task. Most people only search eBay by title, not by description, and that means that you only have those 55 characters of the title to cover all the possible search terms. That's not easy. In this email, I'll give you a few pointers.

Don't bother with eBay clichés: There are plenty of eBay auction titles that say things like "Super rare camera wow look low price". These are stupid things to put in your title, as no-one is going to search for them.

Think like a buyer: If you were looking for your item, then what exactly would you type into that box? If you think it'd help, try searching yourself to find someone else selling your item. What were the first things you thought of typing?

Think like other sellers: Keep an eye on which sellers are doing best with items like yours, and try to copy their title styles - if it works for them, it can work for you.

Be specific: You should be sure to write the item's brand and specific model number in the title, as people will often search only for this information. Make sure that you also say exactly what the item is.

A Few Examples.

Here are a few examples of good titles. They're real, and they're on eBay right now, making their sellers money. So what makes them good?

"Dell Latitude Laptop P3 500mhz Notebook PC Computer"

If you know about computers, you'll know instantly what this auction is selling. It has manufacturer (Dell) and product line (Latitude), followed by a few technical specifications (P3 500mhz is the processor speed). Notice also that the title includes the four words 'laptop', 'notebook', 'PC' and 'computer', as the seller wants people looking for any of those words to see his auction.

"OASIS Don't Believe the Truth CD Album (New)"

This auction for a CD is well formatted: it gives the artist name in capital letters, followed by the album name. It then manages to include the two key words 'CD' and 'album', as well as the word 'new' - that means that anyone searching for 'new oasis cd', 'oasis new album' and so on will find this auction.

"1840 Penny Black stamp, certificate, four margins"

Here's a slightly more obscure one, from the exciting world of stamp collecting. A penny black is one of the oldest and most famous stamps. It uses a few key words that collectors will consider important: 'four margins' indicates that the stamp has been cut out with some margins around it and so isn't damaged, and 'certificate' tells you that the item has a certificate of authenticity - it's a real penny black. Remember to use every bit of space to squeeze in as much important information as you can in the title.

So now that you've written a winning title, you need to start on a great description. The next email will show you how.

Marketing From The Inside Out

2009-05-03T10:38:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

The "Magic Bullet" seems to be what so many marketers are
looking for. They want a secret technique or method to
guarantee their success.

I'll let you in on a secret. They're looking in the wrong
direction.

True success and prosperity start on the inside. It comes
from within yourself, not from some magical technique or
method.

There are no sure fire tools. There is no guaranteed
m.oney making program. There is only your patience,
persistence and most of all your mind set.

Lasting success begins in your head and radiates from your
inner core.

Once you've developed an attitude of abundance, no one
can take it from you.

You'll see opportunity at every turn. You'll realize that
setbacks are really lessons to be learned on the road to
freedom.

Once you know with all your being that you can succeed,
you'll realize that your success depends on you.

There are no gurus to blame.

There are no programs to blame.

There are no methods to blame.

The buck stops with you.

You are the master of your fate.

You determine what works for you.

Don't give away that power.

Learn everything you can about your business and how to
promote it, but make the final decision on how to
succeed yours.

Realize that every step you make along the road to
f.inancial freedom is profitable either in terms of money
earned or experience learned.

If you take two steps forward and one step back, you're
still further along than if you did nothing.

Get your head right and success will come.

Stop looking outside yourself for success. Start marketing
from the inside out.

How And Why To Build Your Downline Wide Fast - Part 2

2009-04-29T06:23:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

I hope you've got all your "why to's" in place.
Reading them will help keep you focused on your goal.

They'll help keep you on course when the going gets a
little bumpy.

Now it's time to put together your battle plan.

Your goal when developing your battle plan is to put
together a well oiled system that will work on auto -
pilot.

The time you spend putting your system in place will
save you time and energy down the line. It will also
help you get a jump-start on building your downline
wide, fast.

The goal of your system is to capture email addresses
to allow you to follow up on all your prospects.

You want to cast your net wide. Don't use a fishing
pole, use a wide net and get as many addresses as
possible.

The weapons you'll need in preparing your battle plan
are a method for attracting leads and an autoresponder
to follow up on all your leads.

Most of the better autoresponders have an email capture
form you can place on your website.

You'll build wide faster if you send your leads to
an email capture form rather than have them go directly
to a sales page.

You have to woo you prospects the same way you'd court
a new date. Some will respond on the first visit and
some will need a little more courting.

Your autoresponder will do the courting for you.

Depending on your program, your autoresponder should
be loaded with at least seven follow up messages.

Each message should be designed to move your prospect
closer to closing the deal.

Once you've got your email capture form up and your
autoresponder in place, it's time to start casting
your net.

There are many methods for gathering leads, but I
prefer the shoestring methods that kick in fast.

I only use a handful of methods for promotion. I'm
sure there are many others that work well, but I
like to stick with the date that came to the dance
with me.

1. My newsletter

Having your own newsletter can be the best tool in
your arsenal. Gear your content to the individuals
who want, need and desire what you have to offer.

Be honest with them in your dealings and you'll not
only build your business, you'll find a lot of new
friends along the way.

2. Ezine writing

Ezine writing is the core of everything I do.

What is ezine writing?

It's writing and submitting articles to the online
newsletters. Most weeks I have more people reading
my articles than I could ever hope to reach in my
own ezine.

At the end of each article is my resource box that
leads back to my email capture system.

3. My signature file

A signature file is that little tag under your name.
You should have a signature file at the end of all
your outgoing email.

If you answer a lot of emails, that can add up to a
lot of free advertising.

4. Ezine advertising

I don't use this method as much as the other methods,
but if you want to get your message out fast, placing
ads is an excellent low cost method.

Make sure you target your ads to the right markets.
Your goal is to target the right market and to only
use quality zines.

Before you start placing ezine ads, make sure you
subscribe to the ezines and read a few issues. If
possible read some of their archives.

Your goal is to find ezines that have the right blend
of content to ads. You don't want your ad buried.

You also don't want to compete with other marketers
advertising the same offer.

Once you've got the ezines picked out for your ad
campaign your best results will come from top sponsor
ads and solo ads.

To jump start your downline it's better to advertise
in less ezines with good ad placement, than it is to
blast out your ad and have poor ad placement.

There are a few other methods I use, but these are the
simplest and the most cost effective.

Put your system in place and let it do its work.

Once you've got your system in place, you can modify
it to fit any offer.

Build wide fast and you'll be smiling on the way to the
bank.

How And Why To Build Your Downline Wide Fast - Part I

2009-04-29T06:19:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

One of the secrets to making money with network
marketing programs, or two tier affiliate programs, is
to build wide fast.

Before I tell you how I do it, I want to tell you why.
"How" is the mechanical, but "why" is the reason.

"Why" is your motivating factor. It's what causes you
to take action.

So why is building wide fast so important?

1. It keeps you motivated.

No matter how excited you may be at starting a new
program, it doesn't take long for the excitement to
wear off and the doubts to creep in.

This is especially important on the Internet. Online
marketers have come to expect results overnight.

Many have developed shorter attention spans. If you
doubt that, look at how quickly visitors leave a slow
loading web page.

That's also the reason for so many impulse buying
decisions. Once we get used to the Internet, we want
everything yesterday.

2. People go where people go.

That's true online or off. Once a place gets known for
heavy traffic, the traffic gets even heavier.

Word spreads fast about a heavy traffic site. Some
visitors will want to see what's so good that others
are flocking to get there.

Others will want to see how it's being done. They want
to find out how they can duplicate it.

3. You can expand faster.

Your war chest will grow faster, which means you can
roll out your marketing campaign at an accelerated
rate.

Your program begins feeding its own growth. If you
take 50% of your profits and put it back into
promoting your program, it can't help but double.

Imagine that every time you launch a campaign your
program doubled.

The more you make, the faster you'll grow.

4. You'll dig out your diamonds faster.

No matter what program you're promoting, only a handful
of your affiliates or downline members will be active
marketers.

The more members you recruit, the odds increase that
you'll dig out a few diamonds. Once you've grabbed a
few of those, there is no telling how fast you can grow.

5. Geometric Growth will kick in.

This is especially true in network marketing. The key
to building a large downline and making real money is
the power of geometric progression.

Instead of growing one member at a time your growth
is geometric.

2 x 2 = 4
4 x 4 = 16
16 x 16 =256

If you don't think it can happen like that, think
again.

How do you think those network marketers that say
they've built a downline of thousands did it?

Do you think they recruited everyone themselves?

Think again.

They jump started their downline by going wide fast,
but once they hit a certain level, geometric
progression kicked in.

Geometic progression plus the help of the diamonds they
recruited built their downline.

Now you know why to build wide fast. In part two we'll
talk about how to build wide fast.

How to Tame the eBay Search Engine

2009-04-26T09:09:00.000-07:00

If you know what you're doing, you can quickly find what you're looking for on eBay - and the more you know about how buyers find you, the easier you'll find it to be found. Here are a few golden searching rules.

Be specific:

If you're searching for the first edition of the original Harry Potter book, you'll get further searching for 'harry potter rowling philosopher's stone first edition' than you will searching for 'harry potter'. You'll get fewer results, but the ones you do get will be far more relevant.

Spell wrongly:

It's a sad fact that many of the sellers on eBay just can't spell. Whatever you're looking for, try thinking of a few common misspellings - you might find a few items here that have slipped through the cracks.

Get a thesaurus:

You should try to search for all the different words that someone might use to describe an item, for example searching for both 'TV' and 'television', or for 'phone', 'mobile' and 'cellphone'. Where you can, though, leave off the type of item altogether and search by things like brand and model.

Use the categories:

Whenever you search, you'll notice a list of categories at the side of your search results. If you just searched for the name of a CD, you should click the 'CDs' category to look at results in that category only. Why bother looking through a load of results that you don't care about?

Don't be afraid to browse:

Once you've found the category that items you like seem to be in, why not click 'Browse' and take a look through the whole category? You might be surprised by what you find.

Few people realise just how powerful eBay's search engine is - a few symbols here and there and it'll work wonders for you.

Wildcard searches:

You can put an asterisk (*) into a search phrase when you want to say 'anything can go here'. For example, if you wanted to search for a 1950s car, you could search for 'car 195*'. 195* will show results from any year in the 1950s.

In this order: If you put words in quotes ("") then the only results shown will be ones that have all of the words between the quote marks. For example, searching for "Lord of the Rings" won't give you any results that say, for example "Lord Robert Rings".

Exclude words:

Put a minus, and then put any words in brackets that you don't want to appear in your search results. For example: "Pulp Fiction" -(poster,photo) will find items related to Pulp Fiction but not posters or photos.

Either/or: If you want to search for lots of words at once, just put them in brackets: the TV example from earlier could become '(TV,television)', which would find items with either word.

Don't get too tied up learning the ways of the search engine, though: a surprising number of eBay users don't search at all, preferring to look through eBay's category system and save their favourites in their browser.

How To Always Win

2009-04-26T02:04:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

Good old Archimedes said it best, "Give me a place to
stand and I'll move the Earth".

Powerful statement.

He was talking about the lever, but there are all types
of levers.

We live in a society that's lost sight of how everything
is connected. We look at the trunk and mistake it for
the elephant.

But if we just open our mind's eye and look at our world
with a more open view, we can see how "Give me a place
to stand", relates to succeeding at every endeavor we
put our hands to.

Want to leave the rat race and succeed in your own
business?

Find a place to stand.

Pick your vehicle.

I see marketers struggling over

* What really sells online?

* What is the best product to promote?

Forget about it.

1. Pick your place to stand.

2. Plant your feet.

3. Take your lever and move the Earth.

Your place to stand is any product or service that
fits you. Stop wasting your time on the internal
debate.

Are you ready to assure your success?

If you answered yes, here goes.

1. Find a product or service that excites you, gets
your adrenaline pumping and makes your blood flow.

2. Make a decision.

The difference between winning and losing can be seen
in how you make decisions.

Those that succeed reach decisions promptly and stick
with them come hello there or high water.

Those who never succeed reach decisions slowly. They
run for the hills the first time they have a set back.

3. Plant your feet and keep plugging until you've
reached your goal.

It's that simple, but simple doesn't make it easy.

You can succeed at anything.

I know you can.

What Makes E-Mail Called Virus or Viral

2009-04-24T21:26:00.000-07:00

Viral marketing is an integral part of a campaign strategy that is used to achieve objectives. It is not the objective itself. If the main objective of an e-mail campaign is branding, in order to achieve greater branding success exposure you craft your message or offer in a way that it encourages pass-along.

Producing a message with a quality offer or an incentive for pass-along is what viral marketing is all about.

Just suggesting that e-mail recipients forward your message to their friends and relatives is not viral marketing. A message at the bottom of your e-mail that reads “Feel free to forward this message to a friend” is nowhere close to viral marketing at its best.

On the other hand, if something worthy of sharing, such as a valuable discount, vital information, additional entries into a sweepstakes, an added discount or premium service, a joke/cartoon, or a hilarious video, is included in the e-mail, viral marketing happens naturally and quite successfully.

The bottom line is that your message must be perceived as having value. Relevant or timely information, research, or studies are all good examples of content that might be viewed as potential pass-along material.

Interactive content like a quiz or text can inspire forwarding, especially if it is fun. Personality tests, fitness quizzes, or compatibility questionnaires are all things that have been passed on by many people many times. Why? Because they are entertaining and entertainment has value.

A multimedia experience is always going to achieve some pass-along. Someone is always touting the benefits. It is a bit more of a time and money investment but the messages have a great appeal and rich media has the advantage of being new. The tech factor alone is often enough for the message to be perceived as valuable.

The Awesome Power Of Viral Marketing

2009-04-22T21:08:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

I'm sure you know about the value of viral marketing.

I thought I did too.

I knew it, but I never really understood the true power
of viral marketing.

It's awesome.

I remember when I was growing up along a canal. We'd
go out by the water and throw stones. As the stone
would hit the water it would cause a ripple to go from
one bank to the next.

Viral marketing is similar to that. Every time you send
out an article, ebook or piece of software a ripple
effect begins.

Your name and links begin to spread across the net and
across the globe.

What makes this so awesome?

There is no bank on the other side to stop your message
from spreading.

Every time you set a viral product into action, the
effect multiplies. It's incredible, the effect is
cumulative.

You start out creating small ripples. Eventually,
through patience and persistent, they become waves.

Stick to your plan long enough and you've created a
virtual Tidal Wave.

There is truly no limit to how far your message can
spread.

Don't just read this message and nod your head. Take
time to let the concept sink in.

In the beginning it may feel like you're pushing a rock
up hill. Once you apply viral marketing, you'll find it
gets so much easier when the rock begins rolling down
the other side.

Start using viral marketing and unleash the true power
of the Internet.

How To Keep Pace With The Rapidly Changing Internet

2009-04-20T21:11:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

The noose keeps tightening on publishers and email
marketers. We're caught between the "Slim Shadys" who
believe that if you have email, you're fair prey and
the powers that be who feel that we're just collateral
damage in their war with "Slim Shady."

The rules are changing so fast it makes my head spin.

So what can I do?

Gather all my friends so we can suck our thumbs and
have a pity party, or get over it.

Well the party's over and it's time to learn the rules
and play by them or move to another playing field.

I've decided to shift playing fields. I'm just getting
too old to start crawling on my knees and begging them
to let me survive.

So what am I going to do?

I'm going to concentrate on viral marketing.

So what is viral marketing?

It's when other marketers voluntarily help you spread
your links.

I already use ezine writing which is still a powerful
viral marketing tool, but now it's not enough.

If ezines are reaching less readers, that means articles
are being seen less.

The best way to compensate is to hop on the information
virus.

So how can you hop on the idea train?

Start creating fr** and fee eBooks that are brandable.
Start unleashing these little salesmen and get your
name out there.

Why brandable? Because by allowing others to brand
your salesmen, they have an incentive to help you
spread the word.

It's the old adage at play, the best way to get what
you want, is to help others get what they want.

Forget the pity party and adapt. Hop on board the
idea express and you'll keep on track.

Things change, and so do survivors.

Ben Franklin's Secrets For Success

2009-04-19T01:55:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

Are you overwhelmed by all the advice on the Internet
about running a successful small business?

The sheer volume of information is overwhelming and
often the "experts" disagree.

Every so often my business will experience a slow down.

This week was one of those weeks. I could easily blame
the holiday or the normal summer vacation period, but
that wouldn't solve my problem.

I needed to step back and rethink my business plan.

The response for most online business owners is to pick
their favorite "guru" or "gurus" and start studying
their advice.

That works well for a lot of marketers, but sometimes I
like to think outside the box. There are some time
tested ideas that are universal and will work if applied
to any situation.

I studied Ben Franklin's simple system for self-
improvement. The system may be simple to develop, but
that doesn't mean it's easy to follow.

In his autobiography Franklin talks about his need to
constantly monitor himself. Old habits are hard to break.

Although Franklin used this system to reshape his
personality, it can just as easily be applied to
improving your skills as an online entrepreneur.

If you're looking for a quick fix, this isn't for you.

Here's a step by step plan for becoming a more
successful entrepreneur.

1. The first step is to pick the 13 areas of your
skills that need the most work.

Step back and take a look at your business and find 13
skills that would improve your performance.

2. Put the 13 skills you've listed in order of
importance.

Label them from 1 to 13.

3. Decide to spend one week working on each skill. Spend
time every day for a week working on improving one area
of your business.

For example if you chose writing better ads as an area
needing improvement, spend a week working on your ad
writing skills.

4. After you've spent a week working on your number
problem, move to problem number 2.

5. After 13 weeks go back and work on number one again.

Follow through on each skill for another 13 weeks.

6. By the end of one year you've spent four weeks
improving each roadblock to your success.

At the end of a year re-evaluate your business and
determine which skills still need to be worked on and
which ones you've mastered.

I know this seems like a lot of work. It's taking time
away from making your first million.

Well I have to let you in on a little secret. Making a
go of your online business isn't easy and if you're not
willing to work at it, you'll spend your time asking:

Is anyone really making money online?

Well there are small businesses making money online, but
they've done their homework and honed their skills.

If you're truly serious about making money on the Internet,
this plan is as good a place to start as any.

Don't rely on luck. You'll find the harder you work, the
luckier you'll get.

A Billionaires Guide To Getting Rich

2009-04-16T06:12:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

The sage Zenrin once said "If you wish to know the road up
the mountain, ask the person who goes back and forth on
it."

Sound advice, but are you following it?

If you're like most people, probably not. So who's advice
do you listen to?

** Your next door neighbor

** Your barber or hairdresser

** Your mechanic

The list is endless. You get excited about starting your
own business and the doom and gloom crowd takes pleasure
in stomping on your dreams.

Before you listen to them, ask yourself one question. Have
they been where you want to go?

Probably not.

So who's advice should you listen to? The men and women
who've traveled the mountain.

One man who travelled the mountain and amassed a fortune in
the process, was J. Paul Getty.

In his autobiography Getty lists rules for creating wealth.

What do you think was Mr. Getty's number one rule for
getting rich?

You must have your own business. He didn't say get a good
job.

The same skills you use to make money for your boss, could
be better applied to creating wealth for you.

There's an old cartoon that brings the point home even
clearer.

A father is asking his son, "Wow, wouldn't you love to be
a football player and make all that money?"

The little boy smiles and says, "Daddy, I'd rather be the
guy that can afford to pay the whole team."

The next time you're excited, keep your own council and
remember the words of Ben Franklin.

"Keep Thy Shop and Thy Shop Will Keep Thee."

Dare to dream. Be your own b.oss.

Where's Your Hook?

2009-04-16T05:42:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

Have you ever gotten up in the morning and had a song
playing in your head? It's seldom the whole song, it's
usually a catchy line or two from a song.

As the day goes on the song follows you wherever you
go. You just can't shake that darned tune.

Well in the music business, that catchy line is the
hook. It's designed to grab your attention and keep it.

The hook sells songs. It not only sells them, it's
what marketers would call sticky.

The record industry is big business. If the hook is so
widely used to pump up their sales, maybe you should
be using it in your business.

When writing your sales letters, online web pages and
any other sales material, make sure you have a hook.

Marketers have many names for the various hooks they
use. They throw around phrases like magnetic, hypnotic
etc.

You don't want your sales letters and ads just skimmed
over, you want them to stick in the readers mind like
glue.

You want to pull out your hook and attach it to their
emotions.

Why their emotions?

Because sales aren't made logically and rationally,
they are made emotionally.

Hook their emotions.

Make them see beyond where they are. Make them see
their new and improved future.

Help them unleash their imaginations. Inspire them to
visualize their healthier, wealthier and happier future.

Whip out the hook and make your message sizzle.

In the words of Elmer Wheeler, "Sell the sizzle, not
the steak."

Start using the hook and the next song you sing, will
be on the way to the bank.

Confessions of a Dumb Monkey

2009-04-15T20:53:00.000-07:00

by John Colanzi

Sometimes I'm so dumb it amazes me. I know that I
should never fall in love with a program and I should
never get complacent with how I market.

I guess that makes me a dumb monkey.

So what do I mean by that?

There are some countries where monkeys are a delicacy.
More specifically their brains.

One of the methods they use to capture the monkeys is
to take a large jar and place a nut or fruit in the
bottom. Anything that the monkey likes to eat.

The top of the jar is just big enough for the monkeys
open hand to reach in and just heavy enough that the
monkey can't run with it.

When the monkey reaches in and grabs his little goody,
he finds he can't get his hand out. No matter how
hard he struggles, he can't pull his hand out.

Now this dumb monkey doesn't realize, that if he
let go of the prize he's clutching in his hand, he
could easily get his hand back out.

The same thing happens to online marketers. They find
a product or service and fall in love with it. They
promote it to the high heavens.

But no matter how much they promote, they can't seem
to make a sale. Just like that monkey that won't
drop the nut, they just keep pouring good money after
bad and refuse to let go.

The same thing happens with their marketing methods.
They fall into the trap of using an advertising
technique or marketing method that doesn't bring any
results.

It doesn't matter how bad the results are they just
keep throwing more money into the pot, hoping this
time it will work.

Man alive, they've become just as trapped as that little
monkey. They don't know when to let go. They've fallen
in love and keep spending money like a drunken sailor
on shore leave.

Do yourself a favor, don't be a dumb monkey.

If a marketing method isn't working, let it go and find
something that does.

If a product or service doesn't sell, let it go and
find something that will.

Smart investors know that secret. Many times the only
difference between a successful investor and a losing
investor is, the successful investor knows when to cut
his losses.

Your business can be the best investment you ever make,
but like any investment, you have to know when to
pyramid your profits and even more importantly when to
cut your losses.

Learn that lesson and you're on your way to success.

All Roads Lead to ROME

2009-02-08T02:24:00.000-08:00

All Roads Lead to Rome
by John Colanzi

In the ancient world, long before telephones, computers
and other modern methods of doing business, Rome was a
hub of commerce.

The merchants of the day had a saying, "All roads lead to
Rome."

Luckily with our modern tools and equipment we no longer
have such limitations.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The
ancient Appian Way, has been replaced by the "Information
Super Highway."

Just as the ancient merchants and traders had a hub of
commerce, you should have a central hub for directing your
traffic.

It took me a long time to figure that out and it's taken
me even longer to implement that strategy.

If you're serious about your success, all roads on the
"Information Super Highway," should lead to your list.

It's no secret that the marketers making the biggest
profits, have the biggest targeted lists.

Please take note; I didn't say a big list, I said a big
targeted list.

When you sit down to map out your marketing strategy,
your goal is to identify your target audience and put 90%
of your efforts into building your list.

* Every page on your website should have a link to your
list.

* Every ebook you give away should have a link to your
list.

* Every email course you offer should have a link to your
list.

* Every article you write should have a link to your list.

All roads no longer lead to Rome, they should lead to your
list.

Build your targeted list and your success is guaranteed.

How To Use eBay To Grow Your Other Businesses

2009-02-07T07:22:00.000-08:00

Most of the people who make money from eBay don't actually make all of that money on eBay. There are all sorts of ways you can use eBay to give your existing businesses a helping hand.

The Supply Side.

If you have any leftover stock or used items from another business you run, then why not sell them on eBay? You can make this a regular thing, using it to get rid of things that won't sell for the premium you ask for in a shop, or items that are no longer in demand in the town or city where your business is based.

You can really make a lot of money this way, if you know what you're doing. You will, of course, already be an expert in the items you're selling, as you use them in your business, and you'll know that the items are of high enough quality to be sellable. This is a whole new market for your old inventory!

Not only that, of course, but remember that your good eBay reputation will make you a great buyer! If there's ever anything you want to get for your business, the chances are you'll be able to get it on eBay for a discount.

The Sales Side.

Here, though, is where the true power of eBay lies. eBay give you an 'About Me' page, where you can write anything you like and link anywhere you like. This means that you can get traffic to your business' website by linking to your website from your About Me page and linking to your

About Me page from each auction.

To create an About Me page, just click on 'Community' on the toolbar, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click 'Create an About Me page'. You then get the option to either enter your own HTML or let eBay guide you through the process. All you need to do is write a little about your website, link to it, and you're done - you'll notice that more people start to come to your site straight away.

There are thousands of people who swear by this technique to drive traffic from eBay to their website - with a little persuasive sales copy on your site, they say, you can sell directly to buyers, cutting out the eBay middleman. What's more, all the traffic you'll get will be targeted - because the people who click through were interested in your auction to begin with.

This can be a really powerful technique, especially if you've already got an e-commerce site. Even if you haven't, you might find it worth your time to set up a website that does nothing but list your eBay inventory with a few dollars off each item, with a PayPal 'Buy Now' button for each item. Then simply make the link to your About Me page read 'Visit my website for even more bargains!', and you're done.

Now that you've seen how to drive visitors to your website, maybe you'd like a little help getting your auction in front of buyers. That's why our next email will show you the secrets of taming the eBay search engine.

How To Build Your Customer List with Articles

2009-02-07T07:17:00.000-08:00

You can build your list simply by writing articles, whether you have thought of it or not.

Quite simply, you write and submit your articles on your topic of expertise or business nature to popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for the information you provide.

Leveraging your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding, if done right. In the real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list?

The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list’s landing page where you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as http://www.articlemarketer.com and begin your article marketing journey today.

The Advantage of Thinking Like an eBay PowerSeller

2009-02-07T07:11:00.000-08:00

So what's a PowerSeller? PowerSellers are the people on eBay who've made it, recognisable by the little 'PowerSeller' badge next to their name. You've probably seen these people around - and to succeed on eBay, you want to think the way they do.

How to People Get the Right to Call Themselves PowerSellers?

eBay gets to decide who can be a PowerSeller and who can't, and they have strict requirements.

To get in at the minimum PowerSeller level, you must have a feedback rating of at least 100 (minimum 98% positive) and sell at least $1,000 worth of items every month for three months in a row.

There are different levels of PowerSeller membership as you sell items of greater value: $1,000 total is bronze, $3,000 is silver, $10,000 is gold, $25,000 is platinum and $125,000 is titanium.

If PowerSellers ever fail to meet the required amount of sales, or their feedback falls below 98% positive, then they lose their PowerSeller status. In short, the only people who get to be PowerSellers on eBay are the people who have been successful for a good while, and are on track to stay that way.

The Shop and the Marketplace.

This is the most important part of understanding how PowerSellers think. They don't see what they're doing as being some random bazaar, or a hobby - instead, they see themselves as a business.

Put it like this. If you run a stall in a marketplace, the chances are that you have a general area of business, but you mostly just sell whatever you can get your hands on that week. If your dodgy buddy got his hands of a job lot of something at a discount, then that's what you'll be selling. This might be fun - and when you have a good week, you'll have a really good week - but it's no way to run a real business in the long-term.

PowerSellers think far more like shops. They sell the same things again and again, every week - regular stock for regular customers. They do 'boring' business things like keep inventories and budgets. They know what they're going to be selling, how much they buy it for and how much they expect to sell for. Just like a real shop, there can be hard times sometimes, but their income is stable and their business can grow slowly.

The best advice I can give you on thinking like a PowerSeller is this: don't take long-term risks for short-term gain. Look after your reputation, manage your selling properly, provide good customer service and the rewards will come to you in due course. And you'll get a little badge next to your name that makes people trust you more!

One possibility that you might have realised so far is what eBay can do for any other businesses you might have.

Remember, millions of people visit eBay every day - why keep everything separate when you're starting to tap into that kind of power?

How To Decide on eBay: Part Time or Full?

2009-02-06T09:32:00.000-08:00

Going full-time as an eBay seller is living the dream: making a real income, working from home, being your own boss and all the rest of it. It's the promise of a million scams, and it's finally come true - at least for some.

What they don't tell you in the success stories, though, is that becoming a full-time eBay seller is by no means for everyone. You really, really ought to try it part-time before you even consider taking it up full-time, and even then, caution is advisable. Before you burn your suit, here's a list of questions you should ask yourself.

How Much Do I Earn From eBay Now?

Work out how many hours a week you spend doing eBay-related things (be honest here), and divide it by the average amount of profit you make in a week. If you were doing full-time hours, would you earn as much as you earn now?

Do I Have a Good Job?

Think about what you might lose if you give up your job to focus on eBay. If you're in a well-paid job with good promotion prospects then it's well worth reconsidering: you might get a few years down the line and wish you'd stayed in your traditional job, as you'd probably be the CEO by now.

Would I Really Make Much More Money?

Unless you're selling a large quantity of small goods, most of what you do on eBay will be waiting for auctions to end - and you can wait at work just as easily as you can at home. This is why whether you would make more money on eBay really depends on what kinds of items you're selling - for low value items, going full-time could be a good move. For high-value ones, the chances are you'll hit the limits of how much money you have to invest in inventory long before you hit the limits on your time.

Is my Home a Good Place to Work?

Quite apart from anything else, you might find that the dream of home working is more of a nightmare in reality. People can start to depend on you to get things done that need to be done during the day. If you have a wife and children then they can resent the fact that you're in the house but refuse to have anything to do with them for large parts of the day. Giving in to any of these things and stopping work for a while will cause your profits to fall.

Can I Survive if it All Goes Wrong?

In the end, would you be able to get by if you had a month or two where you sold literally nothing? Or would you be desperately looking around for a job and cursing the day you ever discovered eBay? That's the real test.

If you made it through all these questions, then I guess you're cut out for the eBay life - and even if you didn't, you'd be surprised just how far you can get part-time.

The Valuable Facts of Viral Marketing

2009-02-06T09:17:00.000-08:00

In the beginning, e-mail was the one way that viral marketing was started.

Since that long ago day, viral marketing has gone from a marketing strategy to an art form and there are many ways to accomplish the objective of creating a successful viral marketing campaign. Seven of those ways are:

1. E-mail:
It was first but it is still around and still used. It is, however, getting a little harder to use as more and more government restrictions are placed on it. Still… it does work.

2. Newsletters:
This is an extension of e-mail but it a very effective tool. If you include enough timely and valuable information, a good newsletter can drive up the number of visits to your website.

3. Blogging:
Providing the tools on your website to enable bloggers to interact with one another is a terrific way to get the message about your product of service out there and being talked about. Bloggers have their ears to the ground for new products and services.

4. Chat Rooms:
A chat room on your website can and does encourage interaction among your customers and that can’t be a bad thing. Also, you can use the chat room to schedule special events like having an expert available to answer questions on a given day at a given time.

5. Tell-a-friend Script:
If you add this with a statement saying that e-mail addresses supplied will never be shared with third parties, you can increase your potential customer list greatly.

6. Video Clips:
Including cool video clips on your website will keep the interest up and increase traffic.

7. Flash Games:
Although they are a little costly to start, they are an extremely effective tool to get your viral marketing campaign going. Once they are launched, they require nothing more from you.

The Magic Of Ad Swapping

2009-02-06T09:09:00.000-08:00

Here is a little used technique you can implement to build your mailing list for no additional cost.

I call it “using subscribers to make subscribers” like much in the context of “using money to make money”.

This simple list building formula can be summed up in two words: ad swap

Generally, you trade advertisements with other eZine publishers, preferably of the same mailing list size or bigger. You broadcast the eZine publisher’s advertisement to your mailing list while the eZine publisher endorses your ad to his list. Yes, you are actually cross endorsing or cross promoting each others offer to each of your mailing list.

Your advertisement’s goal should be to get as many subscribers possible from the other eZine publisher’s mailing list to sign up for yours.

The result: you grow your mailing list. This method does not require money, which means it can be done for free. And the return of subscribers? Infinite!

You only have to do this with one eZine publisher at least once, because his subscribers who are also your subscribers can now be followed up within the boundaries of your mailing list.

Perform ad swaps with as many eZine publishers as possible and soon, you will have a huge
mailing list of your own – built free.

What Makes Successful Forum Viral Marketing

2009-02-06T08:46:00.000-08:00

In order to be successful using forums to do viral marketing there are some things that are required.

Do Your Homework: Prior to joining any forum, you must do some research.

1. Join relevant forums that are in some way related to the promotion’s primary sales market.

For example, someone involved with a health related product, many types of forums could apply….everything from holistic medicine to stay-at-home moms.

2. Choose popular forums. There is no point in wasting your time and energy on forums that few members and few posts. Page raking and the amount of active members are two good ways to check for this.

3. Choose forums that allow sig tags. If it’s possible read the rules before joining and pay attention to them. Your time is important, too. It is better to find out that a forum doesn’t allow posts with sig tags before you go to the time and trouble of joining.

After You Have Joined: OK…you have chosen two or three forums that meet your requirements…now what?

1. Keep your sig tag short and update it regularly. The ideal thing is to limit yourself to one link, preferably to your main website.

2. Never create posts that are nothing more than an advertisement. This all but a universal rule and only displays the marketers lack of experience if he does so. At best this kind of post will be deleted by the monitors….at worst, it is grounds for being banned.

3. Work the room. Be an active member on the forum. Plan to spend at least an hour each day there and take the time to get to know the users. Take the time to introduce yourself with intelligent questions depending upon the forum’s topic.

As a marketer becomes a regular member, they will hopefully develop a good reputation and without saying a word about their promotion, those who are interested in their product will approach them.

Converting Every Web Page into Subscriber Snatching Devices

2009-02-06T08:42:00.000-08:00

If you own one-page sales letter business models or content-based websites, you should turn every webpage possible into subscriber snatching devices for you. The good news is that not only is this method extra effective, it is just as extra effortless when it comes to applying the concept.

Since visitors can come and leave without remembering your website in the future (which is very likely to happen), you can still follow up with your visitors easily by seeking their permission to opt into your mailing list through your web pages – on autopilot!

You can create a pop up window to appear after your visitor attempts to close the window or leaves your website, asking for your visitor’s name and email address so that you can follow up with him or her in the near future via subscribing to your mailing list for free.

This way, you can convert a big portion of your visitors into subscribers, giving you a chance to follow up with them on other offers you may have in the future.

Alternatively, you can insert an opt-in form within the spaces of your web pages. This method is effective, especially if you are afraid of Internet users who have pop up killers installed in their web browsers, set to block any pop up windows.

In conclusion, turning every webpage you own into subscriber snatching devices with little effort can be responsible for huge subscriber-pulling results.

10 Fantastic Steps To Successful Selling on eBay

2009-02-06T08:38:00.000-08:00

So you want to be a successful seller with your own eBay business, do you? Here's a simple, ten-step path to eBay enlightenment.

Step 1: Identify your market.

Take a while to sit and watch for what sells and what doesn't out of the items you're interested in. Any market research data you can collect will be very useful to you later on. You'll probably see the 'sweet spots' quite quickly - those one or two items that always seem to sell for a good price.

Step 2: Watch the competition.

Before you invest any money, see what the other sellers in your category are up to, and what their strategies are. Pay special attention to any flaws their auctions might have, because this is where you can move in and beat them at their own game.

Step 3: Find a product:

Get hold of a supplier for whatever it is you want to sell, and see what the best rates you can get are - don't be afraid to ring round quite a few to get the best deal. If the eBay prices you've seen are higher than the supplier's, then you're set.

Step 4: Start small:

Don't throw thousands at your idea straight away - get started slowly, see what works and what doesn't, and learn as you go. Remember that it's very cheap to try out even the craziest ideas on eBay, and who knows, they might just work!

Step 5: Test and repeat.

Keep trying different strategies until you find something that works, and then don't be ashamed to keep doing it, again and again. The chances are that you've just found a good niche.

Step 6: Work out a business plan.

A business plan doesn't need to be anything formal, just a few pages that outline the market opportunity you've spotted, your strategy, strengths and weaknesses of the plan and a brief budget. This is more for you than it is for anyone else.

Step 7: Invest and expand.

This is the time to throw money at the problem. Buy inventory, and start spending more time on your business. Set a goal number of sales each week, increasing it each time.

Step 8: Make it official.

Once you've made a few thousand dollars worth of sales, you should really register yourself as a business. Don't worry, it's not expensive or hard to do - a lawyer is the best person to help you through the process.

Step 9: Automate.

You'll probably find that you're writing the same things again and again in emails or item descriptions. This is the time to give up on the manual method and turn to automated software that can create listings for you, and respond to completed auctions and payments with whatever message you provide.

Step 10: Never give up.

Even when it looks like it's all going wrong, don't stop trying until you succeed. If you keep working at it then you'll almost always find that you make a real breakthrough just when things are starting to look desperate.

Once you get into the swing of things, you might start thinking that you should quit your job and take up eBay selling part time. But it's not always as easy as that - there are all sorts of factors that you need to consider. The next email will weigh up the case for and against taking up eBay full-time.

10 Ways To Kill Your eBay Business

2009-02-06T08:34:00.000-08:00

It's surprisingly easy to kill your eBay business, if you're not careful - sure, you can start over from scratch without it costing you anything, but do you really want to? Still, if you want your business to end up dead in the water, here are some simple ways to do it.

Lie about an item: Say it works fine when it sometimes doesn't work. Say it's in perfect condition when it has a scratch. Your customers will hate you!

Post whenever you feel like it: Make sure to leave your customers hanging around, wondering when their item is going to turn up. This makes sure they buy from someone else next time.

Let items end anytime: Few people will be around to care about your auction if it ends in the middle of the night. Why go to the trouble of working out whether auctions will end at a good time?

Don't bother with email: Customers are just timewasters anyway. eBay businesses are supposed to run themselves! Never give informed responses to questions about your item.

Sell rubbish: Really, it's just eBay. You can just sell any old tat from the market for a 200% profit. Let quality be someone else's concern - I mean, really, what do they expect for that price?

Refuse to give discounts: You know what your items cost, you know what your profit margin is going to be, and you're not going to negotiate. Remember that giving customers special deals might make them feel good and come back to you again.

Make your listings ugly: As many colours, flashing lights and animations as possible will really give those customers a headache. Write as much in CAPITALS!!!! as you can. Preferably big, red capitals. Be sure to use the fonts Impact and Comic Sans. For an extra special touch, see if you can figure out a way to add some music.

Don't take photos: It's such trouble, after all. If buyers are picky enough to actually want to see items before they bid on them, then screw 'em, that's what I say.

Write short descriptions: Be as brief as possible, and use lots of mysterious abbreviations. This obviously makes you look very cool. You can even just write the title again in the description box. Think of the effort you'll save!

Use reserve auctions: Now, this is a fairly controversial final choice, but it really is one of the best ways to scare away your customers. They'll see 'reserve not yet met', and click that 'back' button before you know it. Luckily, they can always bid in a normal auction for the item somewhere else.

Now that you know the ten ways to kill your eBay business, how about we explore what to do if you want to do the opposite, and make a success of it?

Why is Habit Ten Times Nature?

2009-02-01T01:02:00.000-08:00

by John Colanzi

If you've read the works of Napoleon Hill, you know that
after an interview with Andrew Carnegie, he set out a quest
for the Holy Grail of success.

Mr. Hill spent thirty years interviewing the leaders in
every field. From politicians to great inventors.

His goal was to scientifically analyze the traits of the
greatest achievers of his time.

As result of his study he wrote two classic self-help books
"The Laws Of Success" and "Think And Grow Rich."

Mr. Hill's works are credited with creating more
millionaires and helping more people achieve success in
their chosen vocations than any other author.

That's the story anyone who has read his writings already
knows.

But guess what?

That's not where the story ends.

Napoleon wasn't satisfied with his accomplishments and
acclaim. There was still one nagging question.

Even though so many were helped by his writings, why were
there others who never reached their potential, even after
reading his masterpieces?

What was the missing ingredient?

What was the key?

Mr. Hill spent another 30 years searching for the Key that
would help bridge the gap between those who were helped and
those that never reached their true potential.

What was the missing ingredient?

Mr. Hill called it Cosmic Habit Force.

Habit is the 18th Law Of Success.

We've come to associate habits with negatives, but the
truth is, positive habits are the most powerful ally on
your road to success.

We all know what the Laws Of Success are, but we've never
taken the time to make them a part of our daily lives.

Our actions are governed by the habits we've practiced
throughout our lives.

In the words of the Duke of Wellington, "Habit is ten
times nature."

Are You In Control Of Your Mind?

2009-01-25T01:00:00.000-08:00

by John Colanzi

It's really upsetting that so many individuals are
filled with self doubt.

What's even more upsetting is that their doubts are
caused by those close to them.

Are you letting them influence your decisions?

You have a new idea, or you're ready to make positive
changes in your life and the doom and gloom crowd feels
they have to protect you from yourself.

It's even worse when it's those closest to you.

* You Friends

* Your Relatives

* Your Parents

* Your Spouse

Their are opinions hard to ignore, because they
sincerely think they're helping you.

You're bubbling with enthusiasm over a new venture, or
your new program for self improvement.

You're so excited you have to share the news with your
friends and family.

That's your first mistake.

The negatives start chipping away at your resolve.

"Don't be foolish, don't you realize how bad the economy
is?"

"Are you serious? You know all those self - improvement
programs are a scam."

For every positive thought you have, they've have a
counter thought.

They love you too much to allow you to fill your head
with such foolishness.

So how can you take control of your mind and avoid
having them rain on your parade?

The first step is to keep your own council. Keep your
plans to yourself.

They'll notice the positive changes soon enough.

Your second step is to get out your shovel and bury the
doom and gloom.

Become a "good news" merchant starting now.

You're being pounded with the message that this is the
worst economy in history.

BULL!!!

There have been better economies and there have been
worse.

The economy doesn't control your success.

The president doesn't control your success.

Remember, you control your success or failure.

Start acting like those little monkeys.

* See no evil

* Hear no evil

* Speak no evil

Your third step is to spend less time with the doom and
gloom crowd. Spend more time with those who are doing
what you want to do and going where you want to go.

Start modeling yourself after the successful.

Start reading the autobiographies of the most successful
individuals past and present.

You'll find that they all have common traits.

Fill your mind with good news and successful images.

Grab a notebook or some 3 x 5 cards and post some
positive quotes to feed your head every day.

We are bombarded 24 ... 7 ... 365 with can't, impossible
and so many other negatives. We absorb them without
even realizing what's happening.

James Allen, in "As A Man Thinketh," compares the task
of controlling your mind to that of a master gardener.

You have to grab the negative weeds by their roots and
rip them out. Start planting positive thoughts in their
place and watch your garden flourish.

Take control of your mind and you've taken the first
step on your road to success.

Bullet - proof your mind.

The choice is yours.

Your future hangs in the balance.

How to Convert Every Visitor into Subscriber?

2009-01-24T07:35:00.000-08:00

If a person visits your website and leaves, chances are that he or she will not come back, especially if there are no compelling reasons to do so. After all, we all behave rather impulsively on the Internet, so much so that we can easily forget where we were 10 web pages ago.

But the bottom line is that your visitor may not come back to your website again. If 1,000 visitors visit your website, leave and never come back again, you can imagine the amount of potential revenue lost, simply because they do not come back. You could have converted a fraction of the visitors into your customers.

Some may say that creating unique content can keep some of the visitors coming back, but very often, unique content is not the solution. The real, long-term solution lies in converting your visitors into subscribers of your mailing list.

Before your visitor leaves your website, you want to convert him or her into your subscriber via a simple opt-in to your mailing list. You do this by asking for your visitor’s name and email address through your opt-in form.

And if your visitor signs up to be on your mailing list, you can still follow up with him via email. You can get your subscriber to consider your offer, or endorse another offer to him or her.

All in all, you want to convert as many visitors into subscribers as possible and obtain the potential revenue you rightfully deserve – the easy, wise way.

eBay Customer Always Right, Agree?

2009-01-24T07:31:00.000-08:00

I can answer this question for you right now: the answer is 'yes'. In fact, the answer is 'YES!' - the biggest yes you've ever heard. Of the course the customer is always right.

If you want to be a successful eBay seller, you should go miles out of your way to make sure every single one of your customers is 100% satisfied, however much time or money it might cost you.

A dissatisfied customer will leave negative feedback, and negative feedback is to be avoided at all costs. That one piece of negative feedback will always cost you more than it would have to deal with the complaint, whatever the value of the items you sell. You should consider any positive feedback percentage under 100% to be an absolute disaster, and a personal failure on your part.

But What If…

But nothing! There is no situation where you, as a seller, should get into any dispute with a buyer. Here are a few common situations and how to handle them.

They say the item never arrived: Politely ask the buyer to wait a few more days to see if it turns up, and then email you again if it still hasn't arrived. If it still hasn't arrived, you should assume it was lost in the post somehow and offer to send a replacement if you have one, or give them a full refund otherwise. No, I don't care what that costs you. Are you serious about selling on eBay or not?

The item has been damaged in the post: You must offer to replace it or take it back for a refund without hesitation.

They say the item doesn't match the description: Resist the urge to email back with "yes it does, you just didn't read the description properly". Take the item back for a refund, and edit your description if you need to, to make any confusing points extra clear.

I'm sure you're spotting a pattern by now. Offering a refund will make almost any problem go away, and it really will cost you less in the long run. Remember, one piece of negative feedback will stay with you forever, while having a 100% positive rating is like owning a bar of solid gold.

You should always handle customers' complaints before they complain to eBay - in fact, you should email them pre-emptively to ask if they have any. Going through the dispute process is time consuming, reflects badly on you and is downright unnecessary.

Are you still not convinced? Think this would only work with cheap items?

Well, you see, the higher the price of the items you sell, the more your reputation is worth to you. Let's say you were selling $10,000 worth of items each week, for example, and making a $1,000 profit per week overall. You might think that refunding one customer's $1,000 purchase would be a tragedy, losing you your whole week's profit. It's far better to look at it this way: if you don't give that refund, then not only will you lose the next week's profit, but you'll probably lose a few weeks' profit after that too. Now which option looks better?

I absolutely can't emphasise enough the importance of really believing that the customer is always right. But trying to make excuses for complaints isn't the only thing you need to avoid.

There are a lot of pitfalls that you need to avoid if you don't want to kill your business before it's even started properly - and I'll show you in the next email what they are.

Things You Need to Know to Start an eZine Publication

2009-01-23T20:48:00.000-08:00

Starting your own eZine can be a lot easier than you think. This is because in the most basic necessity, all you really need to get started publishing your own paperless newsletter are wealth of content, auto responder with broadcast feature, and a website (which is optional).

Content. You can compile weeks of content ahead in advance and slowly dispense them to your subscribers. For example, you can compile 100 short tips in one day and dispense 10 tips once a week. In other words, you can compile 10 weeks worth of content in just one day!

Auto responder. Your auto responder is your asset. You need an auto responder to send your mails and eZine issues to your subscribers and store your data base of people subscribed to your newsletter. Some recommended auto responders include GetResponse.com and aWeber.com.

Website. You may be surprised that this is actually an optional component. In short, there are eZine publishers publishing their newsletters without a website! But of course, having your own website can offer you tremendous advantages, such as the ability to bring in more subscribers and having your newsletter indexed in the top Search Engines.

These are the things you need to get started on publishing your own eZine at its bare minimum.

Do not underestimate the little you need, though, because several eZine publishers today succeed well with only an auto responder and contents, with or without a website. And you can, too!

Why eBay Reputation Really Important?

2009-01-23T20:38:00.000-08:00

Your eBay reputation is everything you are on eBay - without it, you're nothing. Your reputation is worth as much as every sale you will ever make.

If you've ever bought anything on eBay (and the chances are you have), then think about your own behaviour. Buying from a seller with a low feedback rating makes you feel a little nervous and insecure, while buying from a PowerSeller with their reputation in the thousands doesn't require any thought or fear - it feels just like buying from a shop.

A Bad Reputation Will Lose You Sales.

In fact, a bad reputation will lose you almost all your sales. If someone leaves you negative feedback, you will feel the pain straight away, as that rating will go right at the top of your user page for everyone to see. Who's going to want to do business with you when they've just read that you "took a month to deliver the item", or that you had "bad communication and sent a damaged item"? The answer is no-one.

Your next few items will need to be very cheap things, just to push that negative down the page. You might have to spend days or even weeks selling cheap stuff to get enough positive feedback to make anyone deal with you again.

It's even worse if you consistently let buyers leave negative feedback - once you get below 90% positive ratings, you might as well be invisible.

You Can't Just Open a New Account.

Besides eBay's rules about only having one account, there are far more downsides than that to getting a new account. You literally have to start all over again from scratch.

You won't be able to use all the different eBay features. Your existing customers won't be able to find you any more. Your auctions will finish at a lower price because of your low feedback rating. Opening a new account is like moving to a new town to get away from a few people who are spreading rumours about you: it's throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

A Good Reputation Will Get You Sales.

When a PowerSeller tells me something, I tend to believe them. They can be selling a pretty unlikely item, but if they guarantee it is what they say it is, then I trust them - they're not going to risk their reputation, after all. This is the power of a reputation: people know you want to keep it, and they know you'll go to almost any lengths to do so.

This is true even to the point that I would sooner buy something for $20 from a seller I know I can trust than for $15 from someone with average feedback. It's worth the extra money to feel like the seller knows what they're doing, has all their systems in place and will get me the item quickly and efficiently.

You really will find selling on eBay so much easier, and there's only way to get a good reputation: make sure you please your customers every time. But some customers can be, well, just a little difficult to please. In the next email, we ask: is the eBay customer always right?

The 3 Fantastic eZine Formats

2009-01-23T20:35:00.000-08:00

eZine publishers today use any one or more of the 3 most commonly used eZine formats which I am about to describe to you in this article.

Ultimately, you can decide which format is the best choice for you, though each winning format has its pros and cons.

The text eZine is the most commonly published. The advantage of this format is that other than writing, you do not require any special skill to use a Word or Notepad program.

While the HTML eZine format requires a certain degree of HTML skills on your part, you can add more sophisticated features to your eZine issues, making them more appealing to your subscriber thus increases your readership value, something that text eZines do not have.

You can decorate your eZine format, change your fonts, include pictures, and more. However, the drawback often faced by HTML eZines is that they often get trapped into spam filters before they reach their subscribers’ inboxes.

The third and least used among the 3 formats is the PDF eZine. Publishing your eZine in PDF format can consume a lot of time and effort on your part but often make up in quality readership.

Due to the commitment, PDF eZines are usually published on a monthly basis. The great part, though, is that you can put in your affiliate links in your PDF eZine issue and allow your
subscribers to pass the eZine issue around.

Given the choices, however, you do not have to necessarily choose strictly one eZine format, as some eZine publishers today do publish in more than one format.

How To Use Email As an Effective Viral Marketing

2009-01-23T20:29:00.000-08:00

Viral marketing has an array of possibilities and ways to achieve your overall goals. However, just like everything else, preplanning and the right setup to create success are the things you will need to make it work for you and your e-business.

The first thing you want to be sure you don’t do is get over-zealous. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is spamming. Spamming is still used widely, but with the government establishing more restrictions and fines you don’t want this to be a problem for you. The professional image of your site will also suffer if you send mail blatantly.

Spamming requires a database that contains a huge list of e-mail addresses set up so that the message can be delivered with one click. The problem with it (aside from the governmental restrictions and associated fines) is that it irritates the recipients and kills the validity of your campaign, which in turn kills the factors that would motivate someone to refer your site.

You need to personalize by creating your website with personal appeal. You must see to it that your website makes your customers feel safe, secure and cared for. E-mail is important, because it is going to be one of the most affordable ways to keep in touch with your customers.

The proper way to handle email permission is to first let your customer know that you will not transmit their e-mail addresses to third party companies. The next thing to do is to attach the need for their e-mail addresses to benefits they can receive.

For example: Coupons or discounts that are only available to members who receive e-mail notifications. With each e-mail you send the viral marketing effect takes place.

Houston Museum of Natural Science Went Viral

2009-01-20T07:23:00.000-08:00

The Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) was one chosen to showcase the world-famous Exhibition for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

HMNS quickly realized that while the exhibit was expected to generate a great deal of interest, it didn’t have a lot of appeal for their core audience. The success of the exhibition, therefore, would rest in how it was marketed.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science quickly called in Spur Digital to help reach the targeted demographic audience and generate interest in the Exhibit. HMNS was, also, hoping to acquire new patrons and members to further their future revenue.

Spur digital worked with HMNS to identify the target market for the campaign and developed an integrated online media plan to reach those audiences. The campaign featured an online contest that was marketed through targeted online media outlets including relevant Web sites, Search
Engines and third party E-mail lists. Viral marketing was an important component of the campaign, so Spur developed an innovative strategy to get people to refer their friends.

Spur identified the target audience as males 18 to 34 years old who were fans of action and fantasy films, frequent video game players and movie renters, tech-savvy who generally didn’t hang out at museums.

Based on this information, Spur chose search engine advertisements that would accompany specific search words, dedicated e-mail advertisements, sponsored e-mail advertisements, banner ads on web sites targeted toward the desired audience, and e-mails to the HMNS list.

Did it work? You bet! The results were excellent. The impact of the viral marketing effort was astounding - over 23% of registrants came originated from the Tell-A-Friend feature. The direct marketing efforts yielded impressive results as well.

In total, the 12 week, locally-targeted online campaign yielded more than 2 million targeted impressions, 40,000 unique visits, almost 12,000 and 6,000 invitations sent by friends at a cost per action of less than $3.00. These contributed to the record attendance of almost 100,000 over 3 months.

5 Fantastic Ways to Posting Your First eBay Auction

2009-01-19T07:44:00.000-08:00

It's surprisingly simple to get started posting your very first auction on eBay. Here's what you need to do.

Step 1: Open an eBay seller's account.

If you've bought things on eBay, then you already have an account - just log in with it and click 'Sell' in the toolbar at the top of the page, then click 'Create a seller's account'. If you've never used eBay before, then you'll need to open an account first using the 'register' link underneath the toolbar, and then click 'Sell' and 'Create a seller's account'. The eBay site will then guide you through the process. For security, this may involve giving card details and bank information.

Step 2: Decide what to sell.

For your first little experiment with eBay, it doesn't really matter what you sell. Take a look around the room you're in - I'm sure there's something in there that you're not all that attached to and could put in the post. Small books and CDs are ideal first items.

Step 3: Submit your item.

Click 'Sell', and you're on your way to listing your item.

The first thing you need to do is choose a category - it's best to just type in what the item is and let eBay choose for you. Next, write a title and description. Include key words you think people will search for in the title box, and all the information you have about the item in the description box.

Now set a starting price. $0.01 is the best starting price, as it draws people in to bid who otherwise wouldn't, and items will almost never finish at such a low price. The next thing to set is the duration of the auction: 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. This is up to you: longer sales will usually get more bids, but will also seem to drag on forever. If you've taken a picture, add it now - items with pictures always sell for more. Finally, tick the payment methods you will accept (just PayPal is best for now), and where you will post to (limit yourself to your own country to begin with).

Submit and you're done!

Step 4: Wait for it to sell.

This is just a matter of sitting back and letting eBay do its thing - buyers will find your item and leave bids on it. Some bidders might email you with questions about the item, and you should do your best to answer these questions as quickly as you can.

Remember that if your item doesn't sell then you can list it again for free.

Step 5: Collect payment and post it.

eBay will sent your buyer emails guiding them through the process of sending you payment for the item. Make sure you have the money before you send anything.

Once you've got the payment, all you need to do is pack the item for posting (make sure to use some bubble wrap), take the buyer's address from the confirmation email eBay sent you, and write it on the parcel. Put some stamps on, post it, and you're done!

I hope you enjoyed selling your first item. Now that you're starting to get into it, the next email will give you a checklist of things you need to do to be a successful seller.

Getting a "BUZZ" On

2009-01-19T07:40:00.000-08:00

Viral marketing has matured a bit over the years. There seems to have been a shift to the web not just being seen by agencies and brands as another tick box for any ad campaign, which is significant enough, but now being the medium where a campaign is launched to create a buzz before it hits TV and print.

Even before a movie is released which used to be seen as the pre-launch buzz-generation activity. Big business “gets it”.

Buzz works! It can work for small and start-up businesses, as well. The planning stage of a viral campaign will set out objectives and develop the viral theme for a buzz. There are three core components to any viral campaign and businesses of any size can use them.

They are:

1. The creative material: the viral agent that embodies the message you want to spread in a digital format (image, video, text, etc).

The trick is to put together material that people will be eager to share with their family and friends and people are much more eager to share “advertainment” and advertisement.

2. Seeding: distributing and placing the agent online in places that provide the greatest potential spread.

Direct viral material downloads or links on specialist viral third-party web sites in order to create awareness and spread before users get to the campaign destination site.

3. Tracking: Measuring the spread of the campaign to provide accountability and prove success.

It is absolutely vital that you know what is or is not working. The only way to get that information is to track the results of your seeding.

Lessons have been learned, trends have been developed and there is definitely some science involved in creating a buzz successfully. The buzz technique is here to stay and, if used strategically, it can make a difference to the success of your e-business.

Seven (7) Secrets To Positive Thinking

2009-01-18T19:37:00.000-08:00

7 Secrets To High Performance Thinking
by John Colanzi

Our minds are like high performance race engines. They
have the ability to take us anywhere we want to go at
amazing speed.

But sadly most of us haven't done the necessary
maintenance and tune ups to enable our minds to
operate efficiently.

There are three reasons this can happen.

1. Laziness. Some of us know what to do, but we're
either too lazy or lack the discipline to do what's
necessary to keep our minds at peak efficiency.

2. We don't believe in our potential or the awesome
power of our minds.

3. We don't know the 7 Secrets Of High Performance
Thinking.

In this report I'm revealing the 7 Secrets Of High
Performance Thinking. I'm taking away any excuses you
have for not Thinking Like A Winner.

As you start putting the 7 secrets to work for you,
you'll notice the effects are geometric.

Each technique will be multiply the effectiveness of
the others.

Once you've started using all seven you'll be amazed
at how powerful your mind can be.

No realistic goal will be beyond your grasp.

So what are the 7 Secrets Of High Performance Thinkers?

Secret Number 1 Relaxation

High Performance Thinkers have learned to use the
power of Relaxation.

They know that stress impairs their ability to perform
and that it's better to take a break when they are
feeling fatigued or frustrated.

If you'd like to perform at your optimum levels,
schedule daily periods of relaxation exercises.

You can meditate or listen to soothing music or tapes.

If you're always at the computer like I am, you can
take a short jog, or do some exercise.

In essence you should do the opposite of what your
daily tasks are.

If you're a laborer you would relax by finding
something that stimulates your mind.

If your daily routine involves a lot of thinking or
sitting at a desk, break up your day with some
physical exercise.

Once you've learned to harness the power of
relaxation, you'll find reaching your goal so much
easier.

Make relaxation a part of your daily routine.

Secret Number 2 Visualization

Any task we attempt is easier if we are relaxed,
especially mental conditioning.

Visualization is a powerful tool when combined with
relaxation.

Many individuals say they are unable to visualize or
create pictures in their minds.

That's not really true.

They visualize, but because they haven't practiced
controlling their mental pictures, they see what they
want to avoid rather than what they want to accomplish.

Your mind absorbs what you input and that's why so
many of your fears come true.

You can either control your mental pictures or they
will control you.

You will be drawn to any picture you hold long enough
in your minds eye.

If you want to become prosperous and successful, you
must take control of the movies you play in your mind.

The first step is to make visualizing your more
successful, prosperous self a daily habit.

When you first begin to practice seeing yourself in a
new light, your rational mind will rebel and the
doubts will creep in.

You'll only be able to hold your mental pictures for
short periods of time.

As your practice continues you will be able to hold
the pictures for longer periods of time and you'll be
able to view them in greater detail.

If you're wondering if it's worth the effort, I'd like
to give you an example of how powerful visualization
is.

When Ali was preparing for his fight against Foreman,
the "experts" gave him little chance of winning.

Foreman was younger, bigger, stronger and hit like a
mule.

So what did Ali do?

He went to his training camp and avoided reading all
negative stories about his impending defeat.

He not only began physically training for the fight,
he began mentally rehearsing his reactions to being
hit by Foreman.

Ali knew that there was a possibility of being knocked
unconscious during the fight, but how would he handle
it?

He began mentally training his body to wrap his arms
around Foreman and clinch as soon as he felt himself
begin to lose consciousness.

The night of the fight his mental training paid off.

In Ali's own words he admitted there were times in
that fight when he was literally out on his feet.

The only thing that saved him from defeat was his
visualization exercises.

Each time he was hit hard enough to be knocked
unconscious, his body took over and held onto Foreman
long enough for Ali to regain his senses.

That night history was made, through the power of
Visualization.

Are you ready to make history?

Secret Number 3 Self Talk

So far we've discussed relaxation and visualization.
Now we're going to talk about autosuggestion (Self
talk).

Autosuggestion is the simplest of the 7 secrets.

It's also my favorite.

It's simply talking to yourself. You pick a habit or
quality you wish to acquire and repeat it to yourself
over and over.

It's my favorite technique, because it literally
changed my life.

Don't shrug it off.

It may appear simple, but it's oh so powerful.

I was in my late 40's, my business had gone bust and
my health was shot.

I saw no way out.

I just knew the odds were against my ever getting out
of the situation I found myself in.

Broke, the clock ticking and unable to work.

Well as the song says, if you ain't got nothin, you
ain't got nothin to lose.

Since I had nothing to lose, I started using
autosuggestion.

I admit it. I talked to myself.

Luckily I was alone when I did it, or I'm sure they'd
have thrown the old net over me.

I wasn't even sure it would work, but I did it anyway.

It was nothing fancy, just two sentences I repeated,
day in and day out.

The first sentence was, "I am a lot more creative than
I ever imagined."

The second was, "I have an unlimited number of
creative ideas in my subconscious."

So what happened?

At 50 years old I've been given a second chance.

I've gone from throwing in the towel and preparing to
lead what Walden called a life of quiet desperation,
to making my living as a writer.

I can work from anywhere.

I make money doing something I love.

If autosuggestion isn't powerful, I don't know what is.

It's changed my life.

Secret Number 4 Goal Setting

Goal setting is actually an extension of our survival
mechanism.

All living things have survival mechanism. From the
tree, whose leaves turn toward the sky before a rain
to the birds who, fly to warmer climates during the
winter.

But as men and women we have an advantage. Plants,
animals and insects have no control over the direction
their lives take.

It's preset for the survival of their species. We on
the other hand have the ability to take part in the
shaping of our destinies. We can choose our path.

Our ability to think of the future and set goals gives
us the ability to be the captains of our fates and the
shapers of our destiny. Sadly most of us tend to shrug
off the power of setting goals and our lives end up
being tossed to and fro like a ship in a storm.

Our high powered minds are programmed to help us
achieve success, but we give it no direction. We ride
around with this high performance engine between our
ears, and never take off the emergency brake.

If you truly want to become a high performance
thinker, you should set goals that get you excited.
Your goals should be big enough to motivate you, while
still being believable.

Don't mistake daydreams for goals.

Don't mistake what will make others happy, for a goal
that will get you excited.

It has to be your goal.

Start setting believable, achievable goals. Set a time
limit on accomplishing your goals and set higher goals
each time an old goal has been achieved.

Set up a reward system for achieving your goals on
time.

Make reaching your goals a game, a treasure hunt.

If you've got time to root for your favorite sports
team, you have time to start rooting for you.

Setting and achieving your goals is the real Super
Bowl.

Make yourself the MVP of your life.

Secret Number 5 Whole Brain Thinking

The fifth secret of high performance thinking is
learning to think with both sides of your brain. High
performance thinkers are whole-brained thinkers.

Most of us have one side of our brains dominant. If
the left side is dominant we tend to be more logical.
If our right side is more dominant we tend to be more
Intuitive.

A prime example would be what we label as women's
intuition. For some reason we find it more acceptable
for women to use their intuition and we expect men to
be more analytical.

The true high performance thinkers are as comfortable
setting down detailed plans for accomplishing their
goals as they are at thinking outside the box and
coming up with a new way of seeing and doing things.

The true skill is to be able to use either side at
will.

It's sad to see how many writers, artists and
inventors have historically ended up broke, when all
they would have needed was to use a little more of
their left brain logic.

At the other end of the spectrum, you can find many
businesses going under because they fall behind their
competitors who are willing to use their right brain
skills and intuit coming change.

To operate at maximum efficiency, you must learn to be
a balanced thinker.

You not only need to know how to use both sides of
your brain, you must know when to use your rational
analytical skills and when to be more intuitive.

You should develop your reasoning and research skills,
while allowing enough flexibility to follow your
hunches.

If you study many of our top executives you'd find
they have two major traits in common.

1. They are goal setters. (left brain)

2. They credit much of their success to following
their hunches. (right brain)

Bottom line.

They are whole brain thinkers.

Your brain is a marvelous creation. Don't waste either
half.

Use it all.

Become a whole brain thinker and you'll be ahead of
your competition.

Secret Number 6 Humor and Pleasure

The Taoist's have a saying, "The Journey is the
reward."

High performance thinkers exemplify that remark.

They pick their profession, not because of the money
they expect to make, but because of the joy it brings
them.

In the words of J. Paul Getty, they've learned to
thrive on the pressure.

They don't see what they do as do or die.

They've learned to laugh at themselves and try not to
take things too seriously.

What others may consider a problem, they consider a
challenge.

Their sense of humor and ability to enjoy their work
increases as their abilities increase.

Many times they spend long hours on a task not because
they feel a need to work hard, but because they have
so much fun at what they do.

When we find joy in doing what we love, time flies by
in the blink of an eye.

If you're ready to be a high performance thinker,
learn to laugh more.

Find work that gives you joy.

Stop looking at the task at hand as a struggle. View
it as a magnificent game.

To the high performance thinker, there is no line
between work and play. His work is his passion.

In the sports world it's called being in the zone.
High performance thinkers perform in the same manner.

* They are acting in the moment.

* They have no doubts.

* Time almost stands still.

* They are focused to the point that outside
influences are literally blocked out.

Stop trying so hard and start enjoying the process.

Secret Number 7 The Subconscious Mind

The first six secrets were the blocks building up to
the real secret behind high performance thinking.

High performance thinkers recognize the awesome power
of their subconscious mind.

* Relaxation

* Visualization

* Autosuggestion

* Goal Setting

* Whole-Brained Thinking

* Humor

All of the above are designed to help you unleash the
awesome power of your subconscious mind.

The subconscious has been called the sleeping giant.

It's like a big bear hibernating during the winter.

It's waiting for you to wake it so it can do its work.

All systems of mental conditioning from Silva Mind
Control and NLP to the mystical traditions such as
Yoga and the Martial Arts are designed to take us
beyond our cultural conditioning.

Deciding the Nature of Your eZine

Topic-wise, you will do well to cater to a starving market that will always be on demand for the kind of content you offer. And by this, I mean that you should zero in onto a demand that has been, is and will always be there.

Relationships and dating are niches that have been on Earth long before the World Wide Web came up, for example. The food niche will always be there as long as there are chefs cooking for anyone with a stomach to fill.

Publishing Your eZine - the Cons

2009-01-17T09:57:00.000-08:00

As with any other types of businesses, publishing your own online newsletter a.k.a. eZine has its share of drawbacks, in spite of the several benefits it offer.

The purpose of this article is not to scare you away with the disadvantages of publishing your own eZine, as the benefits are often more attractive. However, I will also show you how you can easily tackle the cons.

One obvious challenge most beginning eZine publishers face is the creation of eZine content.

Creating your own content can be tiresome, especially if you are not a gifted writer and that you run out of ideas every so often that your publishing schedule is threatening you.

A way of taking care of this problem is to create your content in advance. You can compile 30 days worth of content in one day, for example. If you are not blessed with writing skills, you can broker the writing task to capable freelance writers which you can find at places such as http://www.elance.com/ or http://www.rentacoder.com/. While you need to pay for such services, you are at liberty to take the credit for written articles.

Alternatively, you can republish articles from article directories such as http://ezinearticles.com/. This is a free method you can use in making content, provided you include the resource box of the original author and that the article has republishing rights conveyed.

In conclusion, you can easily tackle the content creation challenge using the mentioned methods that do not require writing on your part, free or paid.

A New Viral Marketing Tool Called "Folksonomies"

2009-01-17T01:47:00.000-08:00

"Folksonomies" - a New Viral Marketing Tool

A new consumer phenomenon is called "tagging" or "folksonomies" (short for folks and taxonomy). Tagging is powerful because consumers are creating an organizational structure for online content.

Folksonomies not only enable people to file away content under tags, but, even better, share it with others by filing it under a global taxonomy that they created.

Here's how tagging works. Using sites such as del.icio.us - a bookmark sharing site – and Flickr - a photo sharing site - consumers are collaborating on categorizing online content under certain keywords, or tags.

For instance, an individual can post photographs of their iPod on Flickr and file it under the tag "iPod." These images are now not only visible under the individual user's iPod tag but also under the community iPod tag that displays all images consumers are generating and filing under the keyword. Right now Flickr has more than 3,500 photos that are labeled "iPod."

Tagging is catching on because it is a natural complement to search. Type the word "blogs" into Google and it can't tell if you are searching for information about how to launch a blog, how to read blogs, or just what. Large and small sites alike are already getting on to the folksonomy train. They are rolling out tag-like structures to help users more easily locate content that's relevant to them.

Although tags are far from perfect, marketers should, nevertheless, be using them to keep a finger on the pulse of the American public. Start subscribing to RSS feeds to monitor how consumers are tagging information related to your product, service, company or space. These are living focus groups that are available for free, 24/7.

Folksonomy sites can be also be carefully used to unleash viral marketing campaigns - with a caveat. Marketers should be transparent in who they are, why they are posting the link/photos and avoid spamming the services.

Things You Need to Know BEFORE You Get Started on eBay

2009-01-16T22:15:00.000-08:00

So you've decided that you want to get started as a seller on eBay. There are a few things that you really need to know before you go and throw yourself in at the deep end.

What to Sell.

First off, you need to know what it is you're going to sell: what's your speciality? You'll do far better on eBay if you become a great source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in those products will come back to you again and again. You won't get any loyalty or real reputation if you just sell rubbish at random.

When you think about what to sell, there are a few things to consider. The most important of these is to always sell what you know. If you try to sell something that you just don't know anything about then you'll never write a good description and sell it for a good price.

You might think you're not especially interested in anything, but if you think about what kind of things you usually buy and which websites you go to most often, I'm sure you'll discover some kind of interest. If all else fails mention it to your friends and family: they'll almost certainly say

"Oh, well why don't you sell…", and you'll slap your forehead.

Out of the things you know enough about, you should then consider which things you could actually get for a good enough price to resell, and how suitable they would be for posting. If you can think of something of that you're knowledgeable about and it's small and light enough for postage to be relatively cheap, then that's great!

Don't worry if you think the thing you're selling is too obscure - it isn't. There's a market for almost everything on eBay, even things that wouldn't sell once in a year if you stocked them in a shop. You'll probably do even better if you fill a niche than if you sell something common.

Tax and Legal Matters.

If you earn enough money, you should be aware that you're going to have to start paying tax - this won't be done for you. If you decide to sell on eBay on a full-time basis, you should probably register as a business.

Prepare Yourself.

There are going to be ups and downs when you sell on eBay. Don't pack it in if something goes a little wrong in your first few sales: the sellers who are successful on eBay are the ones who enjoy it, and stick at it whatever happens.

Anyone can sell on eBay, if they believe in themselves - and if you do decide it's not for you, then the start-up costs are so low that you won't really have lost anything.

If you're ready to start selling, then the next thing you need to know is the different auction types, so you can decide which ones you will use to sell your items. Our next email will give you a guide.

What Makes an Email Best Viral Marketing?

2009-01-16T20:45:00.000-08:00

B2B Marketers Do It, Too

They use viral marketing by e-mail as a marketing tool... what did you think I meant? Viral marketing can work well for B2B providers, as long as the following is true:

1. The product or service has to add value for the sender, as well as, the receiver.

2. The offer has to be deliverable. You don’t want to offer a product that you can’t deliver if demand grows rapidly.

3. The offer has to be easily transferable to others. E-mail and Web pages provide the best medium to facilitate this.

4. The best viral marketing campaigns use existing networks to move the message along.

The basis of viral marketing has been around for a long time. The idea is that you incite your customers or referral sources to pass on something about your business to their network of colleagues and friends. Those that pass on your information get something in return. The something might be a gift or service related to your business.

Using e-mail makes it incredibly easy to pass information on to a friend or colleague, especially if it involves something fun or free. With millions using the Internet worldwide, the potential for exponential growth is tremendous. The great things about viral marketing are that it is free and works virtually by itself. Once you make an offer and provide the facility for referrals, viral marketing spreads like… well… a virus…but the good kind.

To implement viral marketing at your business; first, start with your customer base. Incite existing customers to refer new ones. Second, go to your referral sources. Service providers, your outside network and colleagues can be encouraged to provide referrals that lead to business.

If your customers are stressed business owners, offer a reward that provides relaxation and leisure... like a weekend away.

How To Make Money From eBay?

2009-01-16T20:40:00.000-08:00

If you've ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay.

Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are: you'll find quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a PowerSeller.

Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now.

Can you imagine that? Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else. There are multi-million pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay PowerSellers do.

Even if you don't want to quit your job and really go for it, you can still use eBay to make a significant second income. You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery each Saturday. There are few other things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere near that kind of earning potential.

What's more, eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the real world constantly puts up. There's no job interview and no commuting involved - if you can post things, you can do it.

Put it this way: if you know where to get something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that's not exactly difficult. Buy a job lot of something in-demand cheaply, sell it on eBay, and you're making money already, with no set-up costs.

If you want to dip your toe in the water before you commit to actually buying anything, then you can just sell things that you've got lying around in the house. Search through that cupboard of stuff you never use, and you'll probably find you've got a few hundred dollars' worth of stuff lying around in there!

This is the power of eBay: there is always someone who wants what you're selling, whatever it might be, and since they've come looking for you, you don't even need to do anything to get them to buy it.

So you want to get started on eBay? Well, that's great! There are only a few little things you need to learn to get started. Our next email will give you the lowdown.

How To Make Money From Advertising Space?

2009-01-16T20:36:00.000-08:00

If you would observe the company that delivers the daily paper to your doorstep for a business case study, you will come to learn that the newspaper publisher hires reporters, writers and other important staff to create the contents and deliver the papers to their readers.

In addition to the above mention, the publisher has to invest regularly in heavy duty machineries and tons of papers in printing tons of newspapers on a daily basis.

And in order to ensure that the newspapers are delivered on time, the publisher appoints agents at every part of the covered territory.

So, how does the newspaper company make money? It is obvious that selling a copy of the papers at less than a dollar would not even be able to even fund the operations.

The answer? Selling advertising spaces! You have definitely seen lots of advertisements in the newspaper. The publisher simply sells advertising space in the papers to advertisers who want to leverage their advertising efforts on the paper’s high readership.

On the same analogy, you can make money the exact way from your newsletter: simply by selling advertising space to prospective advertisers!

If your mailing list size exceeds 1,000 (5,000 is recommended) subscribers and beyond, you can start selling advertising space for say, $10.00 per sponsor ad.

In this manner, you turn every issue you send out to your subscribers into a profit-pulling device. And since there is virtually no end to the stream of advertisers as products, services and businesses are cropping every single day in every industry imaginable, so are your money making opportunities.

The History of eBay

2009-01-16T20:31:00.000-08:00

eBay: The First 10 Years.

Yes, you read that correctly: ten years. eBay was created in September 1995, by a man called Pierre Omidyar, who was living in San Jose. He wanted his site - then called 'AuctionWeb' - to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world.

The name 'eBay' comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company's name was Echo Bay, and the 'eBay AuctionWeb' was originally just one part of Echo Bay's website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar's broken laser pointer, which he got $14 for.

The site quickly became massively popular, as sellers came to list all sorts of odd things and buyers actually bought them. Relying on trust seemed to work remarkably well, and meant that the site could almost be left alone to run itself.

The site had been designed from the start to collect a small fee on each sale, and it was this money that Omidyar used to pay for AuctionWeb's expansion. The fees quickly added up to more than his current salary, and so he decided to quit his job and work on the site full-time. It was at this point, in 1996, that he added the feedback facilities, to let buyers and sellers rate each other and make buying and selling safer.

In 1997, Omidyar changed AuctionWeb's - and his company's - name to 'eBay', which is what people had been calling the site for a long time. He began to spend a lot of money on advertising, and had the eBay logo designed. It was in this year that the one-millionth item was sold (it was a toy version of Big Bird from Sesame Street).

Then, in 1998 - the peak of the dotcom boom - eBay became big business, and the investment in Internet businesses at the time allowed it to bring in senior managers and business strategists, who took in public on the stock market. It started to encourage people to sell more than just collectibles, and quickly became a massive site where you could sell anything, large or small.

Unlike other sites, though, eBay survived the end of the boom, and is still going strong today.
1999 saw eBay go worldwide, launching sites in the UK, Australia and Germany. eBay bought half.com, an Amazon-like online retailer, in the year 2000 - the same year it introduced Buy it Now - and bought PayPal, an online payment service, in 2002.

Pierre Omidyar has now earned an estimated $3 billion from eBay, and still serves as Chairman of the Board. Oddly enough, he keeps a personal weblog at http://pierre.typepad.com. There are now literally millions of items bought and sold every day on eBay, all over the world. For every $100 spent online worldwide, it is estimated that $14 is spent on eBay - that's a lot of laser pointers.

Now that you know the history of eBay, perhaps you'd like to know how it could work for you? Our next email will give you an idea of the possibilities.

Why People Need To Publish eZine?

2009-01-16T20:27:00.000-08:00

On the Internet, it is very possible to make money without selling any product. One way of doing so is through starting your own eZine, also known as an electronic newsletter.

In a nutshell, you send out your eZine issues on a periodical basis to your subscribers. The good part is that you have a flexible choice in automating the process of sending out your eZine issues for you or manually sending them on a periodical basis.

As an eZine publisher, not only can you easily achieve the benefits a conventional newsletter publisher enjoys without having to chop down several trees in the process, you can easily and conveniently spread your marketing influence and expertise to your base of subscribers from the shoes of an ordinary individual.

In other words, you do not have to invest in expensive printing equipment, brick and mortar business, and hiring staff just to run your own newsletter publication, resulting in a lot of time, money and effort saved.

Basically, all you need to start your own eZine are an auto responder and broadcast feature to go with, enabling you to reach out to your massive subscribers whom you can regard as your prospects, too.

All in all, if you do not have the commitments of creating your own product for sale, then publishing your own online newsletter can be one of the wisest decisions you will ever make, given the benefits of impressive marketing power and influence it can offer to you.

Write quality and original content, keyword or phrase rich articles with links to your website in the resource box. Then build a website or web page with targeted keyword or phrase rich original content for the targeted traffic that originates from the articles you wrote. Finally, you will have a Google Adsense ads that are targeted to your keyword or phrase rich original content site where visitors will get to visit when they come looking for information.

A win-win situation if you think more about it. A favor for persons looking for quality content and information. For the persons writing the original content articles.

Or if you're feeling tongue-tied, feel free to copy some of
the words or emails you've seen me use to share the Web
Prosperity pre-launch opportunity with you.

Here's what I've found truly amazing and very exciting
about inviting others to the Web Prosperity pre-launch:

My email inbox is jammed full of THANK YOU notes. People are
truly thankful to find out about this and secure their
position before the rest of the Internet marketing community
jumps onboard.

This is YOUR opportunity. Right now you have something very
few people in the world do. A priority position near the
very top of the matrix in what I predict will be the single
biggest and most successful online business opportunity
launch of 2009. I've been around a while and seen this
industry inside and out. Web Prosperity is *truly* special.

You have a GIFT to offer people because they can get
positioned near the top with you. This is about helping
people and lifting each other up to a higher place. People
are going to thank you for thinking of them and sharing this
exclusive opportunity that you've discovered.

Millions of people are going to be introduced to Web
Prosperity next year and many of those people will be placed
below you if you get in quickly (right now) and secure your
top spot by becoming a full member on launch day.

Friend, go get your spot now and tell everyone you
can about Web Prosperity through your personal pre-launch
invitation link before January 6th, 2009. There will never
be a better time to promote Web Prosperity than the next 7
days. What you do between right now and Web Prosperity
launch day truly has the potential to change your financial
life forever. Seize this special moment in Internet history.

Go for it Friend. The clock is ticking!
http://parmis.webprosperity.com

Web Prosperity will take the Internet by storm in 2009 and
YOU have a rare opportunity to get in AT THE TOP.

They say: "If you snooze, you lose..."

I say: "Let *this* be your wake-up call Friend!"

Live with a sense of urgency, act as if your life depends on
it, take hold of the Web Prosperity opportunity and RUN! :-)

Your partner in Web Prosperity,

P.S. Everyone in the world has the power to refer others.
It's what human beings who care about other human beings
do. We tell others about great things that we've found
because we want others to benefit too. Web Prosperity is a
truly unique and rewarding opportunity that you've found
and now you are *empowered* to earn a fortune simply by
telling other people about it. Go do it now so all the people
you tell can benefit from huge the momentum of this launch!

Year 2009 - The Year of Financial Freedom!

Hi Friend,

Imagine that today you enter your name, desired login name
and email address into this page:
http://parmis.webprosperity.com

Then do nothing more...

... Until January 6th when you wake up and realize that you
have a downline of hundreds or even thousands of people
below you. The fact is this is possible, and it will cost
you nothing to find out.

When an opportunity like this launches, those who get in at
the beginning can make a fortune with very little effort.
Sometimes just being in the right place at the right time
and *taking action* is really all it takes.

Imagine this being your story. Imagine this is your lucky
day. Just imagine that friend ...

Then go here: http://parmis.webprosperity.com , enter your
details and let's both imagine what can happen next. :-)

After all, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
- Albert Einstein

Sincerely,

James Parmis, The RichMan
