Super-effective Sales Pages

Mr Idea — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:13:34 +0000

Launching your own product or service which you plan to sell on the Internet is never particularly easy. There seems to be a million and one tasks that need to be addressed and overcome as part of the product creation process. After that, you have to bring it to the market and this is not even taking into account the myriad jobs that creep up on you unexpectedly!

In this week’s article I address the issue of copywriting. Read all about it in my free ezine at: The Great Ideazine.

Computer Grief Galore

Mr Idea — Wed, 19 May 2010 17:27:05 +0000

I find it hard to believe that I could have so much computer grief! After all, people pay me to fix the problems they have with their computers.

First my laptop began acting up and behaving oddly on an intermittent basis. Then it crashed. I tried a number of recovery techniques, but none were successful. Formatting and starting over was the only answer.

I barely got my laptop up and running when I headed on the road. I had a newsletter to put out, but I either had the programs I needed, or I could download them on the road.

Good idea. Bad execution. Sure I could download anything I needed because there is Freeware or Trial Ware to do most anything. Unfortunately, I forgot one tiny little thing. Before I could use anything I created, I needed the login and passwords for Aweber, my autoresponder folks, and my website. Duh! They were at home on my desktop, and I had no access to it. Oh well, I’ll just have to finish up when I get home.

Not to be. As soon as I turned on my desktop it began to behave erratically. I quickly discerned that it was my keyboard – ever try to fix a keyboard when you can’t type anything into your computer. Not an easy task.

After much sleuthing, it turned out to be my wireless keyboard. Even though I replaced it with a wired keyboard, my problems continued – turns out that the wireless keyboard messed up all keyboard drivers. Once I got the old driver deleted, and restarted my computer, I was back in business.

It’ll take me a couple of days, but I expect to catch up fairly quickly ;>)

From Café to Walled City

Mr Idea — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:31:00 +0000

Each day I try to walk for about two hours. As part of the walk, I stop in at a local establishment for coffee. The chap that runs it is the ultimate example of an entrepreneur in tune with his clients’ needs.

Try to keep in mind that success is not defined by how much money you make, but rather how close you come to achieving your own personal goals. Although he must make enough money to live, the chap’s major goal is to make a difference to the life of the people he serves.

In the Beginning

Originally, his business started out as a limited menu café, catering especially to the lunch time crowd from the nearby high school. The area around the café is mainly lower income, with a large percentage of the families dependent on outside agencies for their income. The café initially had some success, and he was able to interact with the students, and influence some of them to see the importance of an education, and to attend school regularly.

Quick and Dirty Physical Products

Mr Idea — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:18:03 +0000

Items like t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads and calendars are traditionally among the more expensive items to produce because of manufacturing costs. However, a service like Cafepress or Lulu.com, where items can be manufactured on an “as-ordered” basic, makes this much more viable. And you can drive sales straight to your Cafepress “store”, right from your website.

If you have a great logo or graphic, this may be the way for you to go. For more ideas on this topic, read the rest of my free newsletter at The Great Ideazine.

Breath New Profits Into Old Products

Mr Idea — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:48:12 +0000

How long will the hunger for hard copy and physical products like DVDs last?

I don’t know. But I do know one thing: Now is the time to take advantage of the physical product phenomenon. We’re on the leading edge of a trend (for once) – and people are searching and questioning every offer, skeptical about every sales letter. They’re less inclined to carelessly drop $47 on a digital file that’s probably full of poorly worked PLR content anyway.

They’re more conscious of value, and they want something tangible that makes them feel that they spent their money wisely.
