Setting Goals for Your New Years Resolutions

2007-01-01T09:43:00.000-07:00

I want to wish you a Happy New Year and send this along to you. I found it to be of help in setting my goals for the new year.

Setting Goals for Your New Years Resolutions

In order for resolutions to actually fit into your life and
become completed, they first need to become goals. Here are
some basic goal-setting guidelines to help you with your
resolutions.

Begin by setting up short and long term goals. Then devise a
means of accomplishing both and evaluating your progress along
the way towards completion. Because once you chart your
progress, you will be able to see the different levels or
stages needed to accomplish each step towards completing your
resolution; i.e. you’ll know what exactly you need to do to
complete your goal.

Then mark off minor accomplishment rewards along each step of
the way. For example, if you are trying to stop smoking, maybe
you’ll stop smoking in your car first, then your living room,
then your family room, etc. until you finally quit smoking
everywhere. So after quitting in each room, take a time out to
reward all your hard work. Invite a friend out to lunch.
Redecorate an old smoke filled room with fresh curtains and a
nice clean rug. This way your road to resolution success won’t
seem so long and like drudgery. Plus by enjoying each step of
the way, you are actually helping push yourself to your goal
completion with powerful, positive giant steps forward.

Tips to help with your goal setting are:

1) Research and Education – Learn all you can about the
resolution goals you want to make. Find out exactly what is
involved in reaching your goal so that you can set up a step-
by-step plan to reach them. For example, to lose weight, maybe
you need to schedule an appointment with your local physician
first to get a check up, than ask him or her help set you up
with a good exercise and diet program. And plan your program
accordingly, revising each month as needed.

2) Make your resolution goals manageable. Don’t bite off
more than you can chew. There’s always next year. So tackle
what’s the most important to you first.

3) Attitude is important in order to accomplish your goals.
Sure, everyone has a down time or so and things aren’t always
perfect. But if you need help with attitude, pick up self-help
books at the public library, or read articles on self-improvement
in this area, or reach out to your physician if you believe it
may be a mental or internal issue.

All the best in the New Year!

"Holiday Greeting"

2006-12-24T13:31:00.000-07:00

Just a little cheer for the holiday season.

"Holiday Greeting"

To each passing stranger
Give the gift and a smile
The joy of a kind word
Warms the soul for a while

The simplest look of kindness
No matter how short or fleeting
Brings love to each and everyone
A truthful holiday greeting

And spirits may sing
And hearts may melt
On this Christmas day
When real love is felt

Throughout a family
Amongst true friends
Here's a wish of happiness
To all you and your kin

Merry Christmas!

May your holiday season be cheerful, comforting, and embraced by
family and
friends. This is the season for love and warmth, celebrating and
rejoicing.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous Holiday Season,

Here is a story I received today that touched me and in this holiday season I hope it touches you as well. Take a moment this holiday season and see if there perhaps isn't something you can do for someone who may need a helping hand.

Happy Holidays,

White Envelopes

It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.

It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it, overspending, the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma, the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else.

Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son, Kevin, who was 12 that year was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended, and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church.

These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in the spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears. It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. And as each of their boys got up from the mat, he swaggered around in his tatters with false bravado, a kind of street pride that couldn't acknowledge defeat. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them." Mike loved kids, all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse.

That's when the idea of his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition, one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there.

You see we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, it was joined by three more.

Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.

Three Quick Ways To Save In Your Online Business

2006-12-05T12:15:00.000-07:00

Here is a quick article by Willie Crawford that I think holds a lot of merit for anyone running an online business. Check it out and see what you think.

Three Quick Ways To Save In Your Online Business
Copyright 2006 By Willie Crawford

Running an online business means that you will have business
expenses just as in any other type of business. Often those
starting online businesses don't have as much start-up capital
as someone starting an offline business, and that's part of
why they chose the online route. To them, there are times when
every penny counts.

Here are three quick and easy ways to save a few pennies and
free up some fund that you may be able to reinvest back into
growing your business.

1) Use Skype for your long-distance telephone needs. Skype is
an Internet-based telephone service that is owned by the same
people who own Ebay and Paypal. That tells you that this
company has serious backing, and will be around for a long
time.

Skype allows you to download a simple piece of free software,
and then call anyone anywhere in the world that has an internet
connection, and has also installed the free Skype software on
their computer. You simply use a microphone plugged into
your computer and listen over the speakers or a headset.

For just pennies per minute you can also use the enhanced
Skype services that allow you to make calls from Skype to
regular "landlines" or to receive calls on your computer from
regular phones. As an example, I recently made an 80-minute
phone call from my hotel room in Singapore to the U.S. for
under $2. This call would have probably costs me several
hundred dollars had I used the hotels phone system and paid
their exorbitant service charges.

You can get all of the details on downloading, installing
and using Skype from their website at:
http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2231139-10386654

2) Use Self Promotion.com to semi-automatically submit
your websites to all of the major search engines and
important directories. This free service speeds up the
process of site submission, allows you to store your data
and periodically resubmit, and provides direct links to the
proper pages on the search engines (included the ones that
have gone to paid-only inclusion).

This service is free, but when you make a small donation
to help fund the site, you get access to a fantastic suite
of bonus tools. I've found the extra tools a real time-saver.

You can get all of the details on Self-Promotion.com at:
http://selfpromotion.com/?CF=Willie%20Crawford

3) Pay for your business purchases with a Paypal debit card.
If you are in a location where you can qualify for and use
a Paypal account and debit card, use it for you business
purchases. Certain purchases qualify for a cash-back credit.
On large purchases such as computers, pay-per-click advertising,
and airline tickets, this can quickly add up.

Since many online customers do have Paypal accounts and prefer
paying for purchases using those accounts, you should offer that
as a payment option. By paying for your purchases with your
Paypal debit card, you get a little rebate on your purchases.

To get all of the details and sign up for a Papal account visit:
https://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=GTQ2ANFJTKDNG

Those are just three quick, easy to implement methods of saving
some money in your online business. If your business is just
getting started those little savings, reinvested in your
business, could be what saves your businesses from failure!

Hate to Sell? Design Your Business So You Don't Have To
by Kevin Newman

Owning your own business can have tremendous benefits. You can
experience the joy of being your own boss, setting your own
hours, working from home, and earning just as much as you want.

But with all that freedom comes a few challenges. If you've
already worked a home-based business, you know what they are. A
dislike for selling tops the list for millions who start their
own business.

"I really believe in my product," Maria says. "But I hate trying
to sell it to complete strangers. Often they aren't interested
and the rejection makes me want to give up on the business."

These days it isn't necessary to like to sell or even know how to
sell. Automated systems are taking over all the selling and
prospecting duties.

Here's how this highly automated system works. Advanced search
engine marketing automatically pulls thousands of prospects to
state of the art web sites. Keep in mind, these are TARGETED
prospects. They aren't just anybody, but are mostly those who are
actively interested in your product or service.

Then a pro sales team talks with each prospect. This keeps YOU
from having to talk on the phone with customers. The sales team
answers all the prospect's questions and quickly finds out if the
prospect is qualified to buy your product or service.

Then the prospect, already sold and ready to buy, is delivered to
you. You simply get up in the morning and check to see how much
you've sold -- that's it!

But what if you don't already have a product or service? That's
no problem. This automated system is so hot that you can simply
sell the system to others and earn thousands per week. That's
right -- THOUSANDS per week.

With that kind of big money, you may be looking at home-based
business in a new light. Use your automated home business to
augment your income, pay off bills, expand your budget to afford
nice cars or a better place to live, even retire early.

Or make your home business your full-time career. Think of all
the options you'll have in life when you only work a few hours to
a few minutes per day. You can get up when you like, get dressed
when you like, never have to commute, and spend just as much time
as you want with those you love.

Clearly, automation and out-sourced selling is turning home-based
business into the new "dream job." Get on board while this
exciting trend is hot.

own home-based income visit:

Ten Tips To Power Up Your Article Marketing Campaign

2006-11-19T15:15:00.000-07:00

Ten Tips To Power Up Your Article Marketing Campaign

You’re selling a product. You need to get visitors to your site as you realize that the probability of effectuating a sale is directly proportional to your number of hits. What should you do?

Viral marketing involves e-books which are too long for you to write. Link exchanges are a series of hits and misses and you don’t have the time to spare. Google doesn’t seem to like your pages for some strange reason and you’re still stuck at PR zero. What should you do?

Worry not, dear friend. I’m going to tell you all about article marketing, the fastest way of exposing your site to more people and gaining the traffic that really matters.

Article marketing involves the peddling of your articles to as many free articles sites as possible. Search engines love free articles sites, and having a page dedicated to your work would serve you well. Best of all, you’re allowed a resource box where you could prominently display your name as well as a link to your website. This would surely generate some traffic!

The trick is in writing an article that people would love to read and in subtly promoting your product through the same. Do consider the following tips in formulating your article marketing campaign.

1.

Write well. By this, we mean that you should write well in accordance with proven methods in web publishing. Web readers are generally more impatient. Keep your paragraphs short, your tone conversational, and your style accessible. Avoid using jargons that common people wouldn’t understand. But still make sure that your article is grammatically sound, flows well, and factually correct.

2.

Write with focus. Pinpoint a subject you want to discuss. It should be relevant to your product, as the point here is to generate traffic for your site. Stick with that topic.

3.

If you do not have the time to write, you could hire a ghostwriter to do the job for you. Fees for a 300-600 word article range from $5 to $15, but money should not be a consideration for as long as you find a ghostwriter who is perfect for your needs. Additionally, the very essence of a ghostwriting service is confidentiality, so choose one whom you could trust.

4.

Your article should be informative. It should not be a sales pitch, or at the very least, an obvious one. Readers frown on ads disguised as articles. The purpose is to provide them with something informative, something that they would want to read.

5.

Strategically populate your article with a keyword that is relevant to your business as well as the topic of your work. Search engines love article sites, and more often than not, each page is indexed. Making your article keyword-rich would invite those search engine spiders like crazy!

6.

Format your resource box. What is needed is but a short introduction of you. One or two lines will be perfect. Consider this line as an illustrative model: “John Doe has been in the web design business for 7 years. He has come up with many innovative products that have helped webmasters the world over.”

7.

Encourage your readers to distribute your article by expressly allowing them to republish it in their websites, or to e-mail it to their friends, provided that your resource box is kept intact.

8.

Compile a list of all the free articles directories that you can find. Know the editorial guidelines for each, and if your article would fit them, submit to as many sites as possible.

9.

Do not stop writing! Write or commission more articles and repeat the entire process. It’s still a numbers game. The more articles you have distributed, the more chances you’ll have of being read by a lot of people.

10.

Practice patience. Waiting could be difficult, but once your article is posted in numerous sites, more visitors are due to come. Give it time. The viral nature of article marketing would soon make its presence felt, that’s a guarantee!

Fast And Easy Free Long-term Website Traffic Generation

2006-11-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

Fast And Easy Free Long-term Website Traffic Generation
Copyright 2006 By Willie Crawford

It's a fact of life that without traffic, your website
can't make sales. That makes traffic generation the
top priority for many webmasters.

The sad thing is that we often make generating traffic
to our websites much more difficult than it has to be.
We also often make it more expensive in terms of time
and other resources than it has to be.

Let me share with you just one quick traffic generation
method that will generate an endless stream of traffic
to your website.

One very successful method that I use, and that many of
my mentors use, is to offer a free or low-cost service
from your site. An example is to have some script on
your site that generates code that other webmasters
need to make their sites work better. It doesn't have
to be webmaster tools though, it just needs to be
something that brings visitors back to your site over
and over again.

You could host games on your site. These could even be
games where site visitors compete against each other.

You could host a recipe generator or recipe converter
on your site.

You could host quizzes or interactive courses on your
site. This would bring visitors back over and over again.

You could offer a file hosting and sharing service. Your
site visitors would come to your site, upload files, and
then access them from various places such as their Ebay
auctions, etc. They would have a convenient place to
point family and friends to for accessing their photos,
etc.

With the file sharing and file hosting service, you could
charge a nominal fee, and easily earn more than most people
do at their regular JOB. You could also offer the service
for free, and monetize your site by running your own ads,
or by running ads through a service like Google AdSense (TM).

I love the file hosting idea because it is so simple, and
it's something you can set up for under $20. You can grab
the script needed to do this for $17, set it up, and have a
traffic magnet in about an hour... if you're fast. You
can get that simple, easy to install script at:
http://NoHypeInternetMarketing.com/filehost/

Back to the idea of offering tools that webmasters need...
you can host "generators" on your site. Generators are
software tools that "generate" code or products that others
need. For example, you can host a press release generator,
or a cloaked links generator. The possibilities are really
endless, and most can be set up on your site fairly quickly.

For a ton of generators that can be set up on your site just
by copying and pasting a few lines of html code into your
webpage (where you want the generator to appear) check out
this site: http://NewbiesStartHere.com

When you really start thinking about it, generating free,
long-term traffic to your website is a snap. For some reason,
we just over-complicate it. We also often look at simple ideas
like the ones I just shared with you and don't use them. They
work, they're easy to implement, they're inexpensive, and you
should be using them! Instead most people who read this will
just keep foolishly looking for a bigger, more complicated,
harder to implement, secret method :-)

Take advantage of this idea today, and I'll offer you a few more
that are just as simple, fast, and easy in future articles.

5 Sure Ways To Cure Internet Marketing Overload

2006-11-11T10:07:00.000-07:00

5 Sure Ways To Cure Internet Marketing Overload
by Diane Hughes
================================================

The main thing I hear from most people just starting out
online is that they are overwhelmed. Yes -- you will see
TONS of ezines, membership sites, product packages,
product launches, forums, blogs, and anything to do with
internet marketing. It's a fact -- there's a lot out there!

So how do you stay focused and organized?

1. KEEP EZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO A MINIMUM

Don't signup for every ezine and mailing list you come
across.... and if you have already, sift through them and
decide which ones are most important to your success.

Trust me -- I used to think I'd miss something if I didn't
subscribe to everyone's list. Eventually I realized that
I was overloaded with emails all telling me the same thing!
Most internet marketers go to the same people when they're
ready to launch a product and if you stay subscribed to a
quality ezine, you'll always be in the loop.

2. DON'T JOIN EVERY FORUM YOU COME ACROSS

Forums are VERY valuable and in my opinion, can mean all
the difference in how fast you succeed. Name branding and
business relationships are built everyday in quality
marketing forums. However, you CAN spend TOO MUCH time
reading and posting. Joining a few select forums and
slotting time out "just for forums" is your best bet.

A few of my favorites...
http://www.conqueryourniche.com/forum/probiztips
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/
http://www.im4newbies.com/forum/portal.php

3. REMEMBER THAT "ADS" ARE GOOD FOR YOU!

When venturing into the internet marketing world, you are
going to see lots of ads, marketing, and launches. It always
tickles me when someone is trying to "break" into the
internet marketing niche yet they get irritated because
there are so many ads and launches. You're in the wrong
business, buddy!

Change your attitude about ads. Use them as free education
materials! Even if you're not interested in what the ad is
advertising, learn from their ad copy and website. In my
opinion, this is an uptapped secret and can directly
affect your "marketing attitude" and success.

4. ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE

I have separate folders on my PC for Resale Rights,
Private Label Rights, eBooks, etc. I admit, I'm an internet
marketing junkie so I HAVE to organize everything. If you
come across a good deal, DON'T PASS IT UP! Buy it and
organize it for safe-keeping.

5. FINALLY -- RELAX AND TAKE IT SLOW

Success is not going to come overnight... no matter what
you might hear. It takes patience, diligence, faith,
education (free marketing ezines & forums), and even a
little money every now and then. Don't expect huge returns
or results without huge efforts!

ListLotto - Play to win at the Double Opt In

2006-11-09T16:48:00.000-07:00

ListLotto -

If you know how important List Building is for your Business Online and you want a way to help you build your Internet Marketing list with ease, then ListLotto is the ticket...

Lets first look at what ListLotto is:

Its a Downline List Building web site that lets you email the list you build every 5 days.
There are many other sites like this on the market, such as ListDotCom and YourLuckyList and many others.

Each of these sites allow you to build a list, then mail out to that list every few days or so. The incentive is you can grow your list by sharing information about the main site, which in turn attracts new visitors and then means you build a list of your own.

Provided you build the relationship correctly with these people, you can then start to pull them across to your main sites and market to them from there.

In general, these downline list builders will also let you upgrade to a paid membership which gives you more access to mail more people on the site itself.

This is great in the early days of these sites launch as everyone reads the mail from them and you can get a great response.

Where ListLotto has set itself apart from the current trend of list building web sites, is it gives you the potential to email to the entire house list, no matter how big by winning the weekly free draw, hence the name List Lotto!

The cool part is, for every person you refer, you can gain a further entry into the weekly draw, thus making it Viral... Invite more people, the more chances you will have to win the weekly draw.

Now with the appeal this has, it means that thousands of people will be marketing this site with all the great tools included, even Blog Posts :)

The more people promoting, means the BIGGER the list will be on the site... Imagine for one moment the potenial to mail to hundreds, thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people? Would'nt that be simply AWESOME...

Well now you can...

ListLotto is the ultimate list builder online and its free to get started... You could win the weekly draw and be sending your information to thousands of interested people.. now that sounds like a list I would want to send to..

To your success

DesktopLightning - Strengths and Weaknesses

2006-10-12T14:52:00.000-06:00

If you've been following what's been going on in the last few
days in the Internet Marketing scene then I'm sure by now you've
at least heard about DesktopLightning.com.

A lot of people are saying really good things about the site,
but are they true?

I decided to write up an honest review of the site, covering
what I believe to be its strengths and its weaknesses, just
to clear it up once and for all...

================================================================
DesktopLightning.com - Strengths and Weaknesses
================================================================

Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars (* * * * 1/2)

In A Nutshell
-------------

A catchy new viral marketing tool, capable of broadcasting
messages directly to people's desktops. Easy to use, and
caters primarily to those who have something they want to
promote and are looking for a better way to do it.

(Read on for why I didn't give it 5 stars)

1. Initial Impressions
----------------------

When I was first introduced to DesktopLightning.com, I wasn't
quite sure exactly what to think. Everyone was saying it was
going to be more powerful than e-mail marketing, but this
seemed like too bold of a claim.

I signed up anyway, since I usually give things a chance --
that's how I have found the several sites I do really trust
and rely on.

The signup process did take about 60 seconds, as advertised,
and their software program downloaded and installed in about
30 seconds. No long, tedious install processes here. If you
own downloadable software, you might want to take a look at
how quick their install process is.

Right after installing the software, it ran immediately, and
I was quickly presented with a tool to invite my friends.

Within one-click's access was my Inbox, the tool to send
broadcasts, a statistics page, and my favorite, the "Build
Your Network" page.

I'll get more into why that's my favorite page later.

2. Viral Growth
---------------

This is where the site really shines, in my opinion. The
purpose of a viral marketing site is that you should be able
to invite just a few people, and then it will start growing
on its own.

Many sites claim to work like this, but few actually work as
advertised.

I'm not sure if it's because of their unique concept or the
slick implementation, but this site is REALLY viral. Here's
some of the testimonials they got, which I think sum it up
pretty well:

"I haven't ever seen a system build a downline so
fast. I joined your program just to try something
new. Four days later I had a downline of 43 people.
This is unbelievable."

~ Harry Joseph

"I invited just a handful of people only a few days
ago and I already have 48 members on 5 levels below
me. I am going to keep promoting this, but I see it
has a life of it's own now. I couldn't stop my
network from expanding if I wanted to!"

~ David Parton

"This website is so viral - I received over 100
sign-ups and my network is already 5 levels deep in
less than 48 hours."

~ Rene Keiser

Although they obviously can't guarantee results for anyone,
the general consesus is that most people who do get those
initial few people in are experiencing results similar to
these.

I give DesktopLightning.com an A+ for spreading like wildfire.

3. Direct-To-Desktop Broadcasts
-------------------------------

So, once you have the people in your network from the direct
invitations and the viral growth, then it really gets cool.
Now is when you get to broadcast whatever message you want
directly to their desktops.

Gone are the days of sending out emails and wondering if
they were received due to spam filters and crowded inboxes.

If you upgrade to their Platinum membership, then you can even
get exact statistics on the percentage of your broadcasts that
were opened, but the Platinum membership is not the subject
of this review.

Here's how it works -- the DesktopLightning.com software is
what allows the direct-to-desktop communication to be
received. Since everyone in your network will have the
DesktopLightning.com application installed, just as you do,
this is what allows such smooth and instant communication
to occur.

Within one hour of your sending the message, everyone in your
network who is online will receive a notification on their
desktop that they can click to read your message.

Anyone who isn't online at the time will receive it when they
log on next.

I'm sure you can see why this type of communication has been
more successful than email as of late, so I won't get into
it too much here. The basic point though is that there's no
way your message can be lost, overlooked, or blocked by any
filters.

If you upgrade to their Platinum service you can do things
like embed video and sound right into the broadcast, but
again, I'll save the Platinum service for another review.

4. Building Your Network
------------------------

Most sites out there nowadays don't really help you build a
network of people below you. They just throw you a URL and
tell you to run with it.

While this works for most advanced people, it's not something
that's very easy for people who are just starting out.

DesktopLightning.com went really far this time to make sure
that everyone has a way to bring people into their network,
regardless of skill level.

When you click on the "Build Your Network" link from within
their application, you'll be presented with a surprising
number of tools to help you build your downline.

Everything from banners, to popups, to text ads, to invitation
tools, to emails to send out, etc.

Then, they continue to offer something which I haven't seen on
any Internet Marketing site yet -- they have a "Starting From
Scratch" section, designed specifically for people who have
no list and no website with traffic.

If you're in that position, then you'll love this section,
since they detail specific strategies you can use to promote
DesktopLightning.com (or anything for that matter), even if
you don't have anything to start with.

Quite a valuable resource.

5. Not For Everyone
-------------------

With all that said, the only downside to DesktopLightning.com
is that it's not for everyone.

Of course, some might see that as an upside, since it's a more
targetted opportunity.

Basically, the bottom line is that DesktopLightning.com is a
promotional tool. You need to have something you want to
promote or advertise before you can really make use of the
site.

This is all due to the fact that the basic concept is that
you build a viral network of people, and then broadcast
something to it.

But, this "something" is whatever you want, so you must
already have something you'd want to send to a lot of people.

If you don't have something yet, you could start building your
network first, and then once you get something to promote
you'll be ready to launch it immediately.

If you do have something to promote, that's when the site
really shines.

6. Conclusion
-------------

I would recommend this site to anyone who has something to
promote or advertise.

It definitely works, and your downline will grow extremely
fast if you put some energy into getting it started.

The direct-to-desktop broadcasts are a killer app in today's
online climate, where emails barely even get through anymore.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it has
nothing to offer for people who don't have anything to
promote or advertise yet.

If you want to advertise or promote something to a lot of
people in a unique and poweful way, then this site is for
you.

================================================================

At any rate, my general opinion is that since it's so quick to
set up and try, if you have something you want to promote you
might as well go check it out.

You can always remove it later if you decide you don't like it.

New Life For Old Computers

2006-10-10T20:13:00.000-06:00

by Jim Edwards © Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved http://www.thenetreporter.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- With computer prices dropping and CPU speeds doubling every 18 months, why doesn't everyone have a new computer at least every year? Well, I have a theory! I think a silent fear prevents most people from upgrading their computers to take advantage of the latest technology. I believe most people don't get a new computer because they don't know what to do with the old one! For example, I just bought a new laptop and desktop computers and need to quickly figure out what to do with the old ones. Well fear not gentle reader, because you are about to discover some very practical (and a couple of funny) uses for your old computer. * "Starter" Computer * Every kid should learn how to use a computer, however, investing a thousand dollars in a new computer and monitor just so "junior" can crash it doesn't rate a smart idea. Give your old computer to your son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandkid or whoever needs to learn basic computer skills without worrying if they crash the machine. * Give To Charity * Believe it or not, a lot of people out there can't afford a computer and would be thrilled to get your older model. School children especially should have computers to help them with homework, research and all the other incredible learning tools computers make available. WARNING: Make sure to thoroughly wipe your hard drive data before giving it away. * Upgrade / Fix Another PC * An old hard drive might make an excellent built-in backup drive for your newer computer. Also, you might be surprised how much all the little spare parts (fan, power unit, cpu, motherboard) on your "dead" computer could bring on eBay if you chopped it up and sold them individually. * Software Robot * Many software programs can run unattended on a PC to perform various tasks such as research, search engine submission, and more. Running that software on a "robot" machine in the corner can save you valuable computing time by taking it off your everyday work PC. * "Field" Computer * I've often wanted to take my laptop with me to the beach, on the boat, or work on it in the car while my wife prowls the local mall. However, my fear of wind, weather and theft by using it outside my home office usually prevents me from taking it along. Though not disposable, an older laptop used only for word processing or similar tasks rates the "risk" of bringing along in harsher conditions. None of these practical uses appeal to you? Well then take some of these "lighter side" uses for a spin. PLANTER - That sturdy metal box is the perfect size for petunias or starting your shade garden while waiting for the spring thaw. SPEED BUMP - Tired of people speeding through your neighborhood well in excess of the posted limits? A well- placed old Pentium II PC will slow them down! Regardless of how you choose to use your old computer, don't set it in a corner and forget about it. Put it to good use either for yourself or someone else who could really use and benefit from it! -- Jim Edwards is a syndicated newspaper columnist and the co-author of an amazing new ebook that will teach you how to use fr^e articles to quickly drive thousands of targeted visitors to your website, affiliate links, or blogs... -=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Need MORE TRAFFIC to your website or affiliate links?

42 Deadly Ad Copy Sins That I've Made

Visit our sponsor:
-------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to make money online, but don't know
where to begin? Here's 3 easy steps that really work:
http://www.getresponse.com/t/3006785/
-------------------------------------------------------

I have read thousands of ad copies online and offline
over my lifetime. I have read excellent ad copies that
made me buy right away and some that may have had
a decent product, but had a poor ad copy that turned
me away.

Now that I am in business, I have written some of my
own ad copies. Some of them have worked, some of
them have bombed. The key is to keep changing and
testing your ad copy, don't just write one and then
stop. I don't have a college degree in copywriting, but
I know to learn from the mistakes and never give up.

Below I've made a list of 42 deadly ad copy sins that
I've made over the years and that you can learn from:

-no compelling headline
-no believable testimonials
-no sub headlines
-no attractive benefits
-no features
-no strong guarantees
-no asking or answering questions
-no proof of benefits offered
-no contact information for questions
-no endorsements
-no conversational writing
-too long of sentences
-no deadline to order
-no free trials
-spelling mistakes
-grammar mistakes
-too light of text
-too dark of background
-ad copy doesn't blend together
-no breaks in ad copy
-no bullets
-ad copy in all CAPS
-few ordering options
-no visual aids
-no comparison to competition
-no reminding of benefits or deadlines
-no information about your business
-no appealing adjectives
-no appealing phrases
-too large of text
-too small of text
-no emotional appeal
-too large of paragraphs
-no story telling
-no underlining or bolding of keywords
-too short of ad copy
-too long of ad copy
-no facts or case studies
-hard to understand jargon
-no free bonuses
-too low of price
-too high of price

Don't get me wrong, not all 42 of my ad copy sins will
apply to each and every ad you write. It is just a list
you can use in the future. If you currently have an ad
copy, compare it to the list right now. Your ad copy
could make or break your sales.

Quote of the Day:

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who
cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn,
and relearn." -- Alvin Toffler

Opportunist vs. Entrepreneur...

2006-09-12T12:14:00.000-06:00

A lot's been made since Rich Schefren leaked his Internet Marketing Manifesto about the importance of building a true business with real systems, instead of just being an opportunist marketer, out for the latest shiny object.

Two things...

The reason I bring it up is that Fabio Marciano and Mike Ambrosio went out and found 13 top butterfly marketers to interrogate and get them to reveal all of their strategies for success. These interviews, which don't cost anything to listen to, are 100% pure info...without the usual teleseminar BS and upsell garbage.

The reason I bring up Schefren is that these guys on the calls have really focused in on their core competencies and what they're good at and they got paid very, very handsomely as a result.

If you're anxious to take your business to the next level, but have not been able to build a profitable info marketing funnel, then you are going to love this...

http://www.kcn-enterprises/recommends/butterflyriches.html

Mike and Fabio have put together, by far, the best interview product this year.

Seriously, it's that good.

Best of all, you can get acess to the interviews at no cost.

There are quite a few fast action bonuses so make sure you check it out today...

No Approval Required

- by Stuart Goldsmith

(c) 2005 Stuart Goldsmith - Worldwide Rights Reserved
=======================================================

It is your dream that counts, not somebody else's
definition of what constitutes a valid dream.

You do not need to get your dream countersigned by
society and have them approve it as big enough or
important enough.

The dream is for you, not society. It matters not one
jot if a single other human being benefits or not from
your passion.

You're doing it because you want to do it. That's
the only reason you need. If you want to make money
from your dream, then it will have to benefit
others as well, but it's a very rare dream which
has no positive impact on the lives of others.

Big, planet-changing dreams are allowed, of course!

Just make sure it really is your passion, and not
something you are claiming to believe in for one of
these three erroneous reasons:

1. It's so big you know you'll never do it, and so
there's no point in making a start. In other words,
your grandiose passion is little more than an excuse
for in-action.

2. This is not really your passion, but you think it
sounds grand enough, altruistic enough, or worthy
enough to be allowed under society's definition of
'meaningful.' In other words, you feel that small,
personal dreams are not allowable, are too
insignificant and make you look like a loser.

3. Your dream is merely one, grandiose strategy for
filling your need - you could fill that need far more
easily than via this complex and unlikely scheme you
have envisaged.

When you get in contact with your passion, and follow
it, remarkable life-changing events will happen to you
- sometimes not exactly what you might expect. Here is
a story taken from Barbara Sher's book which
illustrates this point well.

The Story of Jessie

Jessie was 45, very quiet and shy. She lived in
Atlanta, Georgia, and ran an office for her husband, a
well-known architect. He was a star in his community,
involved with meetings and parties while Jessie did all
the unglamorous paperwork.

Jessie had no idea what she wanted do with her life.
She joined a six person Success Team (a self-help group
of about six people who meet regularly to make each
other's dreams come true).

Jessie's team did everything they could to help her
find something she'd love, though she couldn't come up
with a thing.

"Why don't you look for a job you like better?" They
asked. "I don't know," she said. "I just don't feel
like it."

Months went by. Then one day, Jessie walked into the
group and announced: "I want to race sled dogs in the
winter race at Bear Grease." (Bear Grease is a small
town in Minnesota.)

The team was flabbergasted.

"Are you sure?"
"Yes," Jessie said. "That's what I want to do."
"Do you mind telling us why?" They asked.
"I don't know why," she said.
"Do you know anything about sled dog racing?"
"Nope."

That was the end of the team's questioning.

Before I go any further, see if you can guess at the
need which this challenge might fulfill in Jessie.

Her team were so happy Jesse had found something she
wanted that they set out immediately to help find a
training school, or a dog racer, or anything. They
approached anyone walking any kind of dog and asked,
"Do you know anything about sled dog racing?" Finally,
somebody did know about a summer training camp for dog
racers, and on a warm summer day, Jessie walked into
camp, went up to the trainer, and said, "I want to
learn how to run the sled dogs."

He looked at her, a tiny 45 year-old lady in a straight
skirt and sensible shoes, and decided to discourage
her. He hitched up the team of dogs to a training sled
on wheels and gave her the reins.

"Here," he said. "Practice a little. See if you like
it."

Suddenly he shouted to the dogs and they took off
running. Jessie could barely keep up with them. She
tripped and slid and practically fell on her face, but
she stayed with the dogs all the way around the track.
When she finished and caught her breath, she smiled at
the trainer and said, "I love this!" He laughed, and
consented to train her.

When winter came and it was time to go to Bear Grease,
Jessie realized she knew nobody. She asked her trainer
if she could use his name for introductions and he
said, "I can't do that, Jessie. You are still a
beginner, and I have a reputation to maintain." So
Jessie's Success Team took her to the airport and saw
her off with loud cheers and secret fears.

When she arrived at Bear Grease she found a tiny town,
mostly one main street, packed with snow and full of
seasoned sledders sitting around in clumps with their
dogs. She forced herself to walk up to one crew after
another, asking if anyone needed a helper, until
finally, someone who had lost an assistant to the flu
took her on. And Jessie ran with a team of sled dogs
over a hundred mile course.

The Success Team went wild when she called after the
race and when Jessie returned home, she was a satisfied
woman. She told her team all the gripping details with
a big smile on her face. "Now, that's happiness," one
said. "It sure it is" Jessie said. "What now?" her team
said. "More training?"

"No," she said. "I'm finished. I don't want to do that
any more."

There was a moment of stunned silence and then her team
said, "Well, what do you want to do now?" Jessie said,
"Quit my job."

It had never occurred to anyone in Jessie's team that
she would need to overcome a big challenge before she'd
be ready to give up her thankless job and go out into
the world.

That was an excellent example of the power of dreams.
Jessie knew she wanted to change her life, but could
not summon up the courage to quit her job outright. She
needed this intermediary dream to help her realize a
bigger goal - that of independence. It was, if you
like, a 'steppingstone' dream.

Until next time...

10 Important Things To Tell Your Prospects

2006-09-04T17:13:00.000-06:00

10 Important Things To Tell Your Prospects

by Kevin C Newman

1. Tell your prospects that you offer free delivery.

This may cost a little money, but, you will gain the

extra customers to make up for it.

2. Tell your prospects that you offer a lower price.

If you can't afford to offer a lower price you could

always hold the occasional discount sale.

3. Tell your prospects that your product achieves

results faster. People are becoming more and more

impatient and want results fast.

4. Tell your prospects you've been in business for

a longer period of time. People think if you've been

in business longer you have more credibility.

5. Tell your prospects that your product tastes,

smells sounds, looks, or feels better. When you

target the senses you're triggering human appeal.

6. Tell your prospects your product is compact or

light. People may want to take the product on a trip

or don't have much room where they live.

7. Tell your prospects that your product lasts longer.

People don't like to spend more money purchasing

replacement products all the time.

8. Tell your prospects that your product is easy to

use. People don't want to buy a product that they

have to read a 100 page instruction manual.

9. Tell your prospects that your product has better

safety features. People want to feel safe when they

use your products.

10. Tell your prospects that you stand behind all

your products. People want to know that you back-

up any claims you make about your product.

Unleash the SuperHero in You

2006-09-03T10:31:00.000-06:00

This is something that I think is so very important to all of us. Therefore I am passing along this article in hopes that it can help you in your journey of creating that perfect home based business that allows you the freedom you so richly deserve.

To Your Success,

Kevin

Unleash The Superhero In You

Within every human being, exists an infinite supply of creativity, strength and wonder.

You are capable of more than you know.

Let me tell you about a real life Superhero I know. His name is Mike Berkson.

Mike Berkson was born a few minutes after his twin brother David, on February 4th, 1989. Shortly after birth, Mike was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Doctors told his parents that he would not be able to talk and he would never be a student in a regular classroom. By the time Mike was 3, he was not only talking up a storm but had a thirst for vocabulary. Mike sets BIG goals. Mike excels in English and History, is creative in writing short stories and has ambitions in film making.

Mike lives in a Chicago suburb and now attends high school. He loves rap music, Seinfeld reruns, movies, girls, and many other things most teenagers are interested in. Mike is unique in that he has to work around some obstacles in his day to day life that you and I will never be faced with.

Because he is confined to a wheelchair, and has limited use of his arms and legs, he is paired with someone to help him through the day so he can attend school and get the quality of education he deserves. For a few years, my friend Tim was fortunate enough to be paired with Mike and serve as Mike's aid and helper.

Ponder the things you do every day and imagine being physically unable to do them. Tim was responsible for taking notes for Mike, assisting him with eating, the bathroom, transportation and all the things that we do without thinking about.

As Tim and Mike grew closer and Tim became a member of Mike's family, Tim felt a yearning to share with the world Mike's awesome attitude, and how Mike deals with prejudices, ignorance and inconveniences despite his circumstances.

Tim was so inspired by the Superhero within Mike, that last year he set a goal to write a book about Mike and run 1,200 miles from Florida to Chicago to promote it.

Just one tiny problem...at the time, Tim could hardly run 30 minutes and in order to achieve his goals within 4 months, he would have to write the book at blazing speed AND get into the kind of physical condition to maintain a pace of running 40 miles per day for 31 straight days.

Impossible you might think? No. Remember I told you that you are more powerful than you think you are.

You see Tim had a unique source of motivation to fuel his goals. He had Mike. He had the examples from years of watching Mike display the traits of a real life Superhero. Tim had the inspiration of making a promise to an exceptional young man. Tim had the motivation of a purpose greater than himself.

Tim had the yearning to pursue a series of goals so much bigger than anything he had ever done before, that he just had to try. As a tribute to Mike, Tim had to push himself beyond anything he ever previously did, as Mike does every single day.

Some people in life believe you should only pursue goals you know you can achieve. Others believe the success lies in the growth that occurs from stretching beyond your previous wins, and that all growth is success.

How do you define success?

I interviewed Tim recently on my radio show. Tim explained how he found an endurance coach and transformed himself from a couch potato into an ultra endurance champion. Tim did not reach his goal of running 40 miles a day. You see, his plan was flawed. He made a lot of mistakes. His schedule for the run was so tight, that he did not allow himself any room for error, like weather, funding, or the hazards of running alongside traffic. His approach for raising money was limited. He had a skeleton crew of one to accompany him on the run.

He had to return home by a certain date, regardless of how far behind he was, so he had to drive the distances to catch up when he fell behind. Shortly after he started his journey, he realized he would not be able to achieve the 1,200 miles and still make it home on time. But he kept running anyways, he wanted to Keep On Keeping On. He would rather continue stretching himself than consider quitting.

Why is Tim's journey considered a success by many? Because he dared to pursue it in the first place. Because he did finish his book about Mike in record time. Because he succeeded in transforming his body into an Ultra Endurance Machine for that time. Because he DID succeed in running an average of 24 miles per day for a total of 700 miles. Because he didn't quit, even when he realized he could not reach every goal he set for himself. Because he touched the heart of a young man who looked up to him. Because he inspired a lot of people to go beyond what they previously thought they could do.

Because for a moment in time, he taped into the Superhero inside himself and unleashed more of his own potential.

Rising above circumstances like a champion inspires other people.

We must re-evaluate our perspective on what success really is.

Are you a success if you play it safe your whole life and never dare anything unless you are guaranteed victory?

When you set BIG Goals, it is important to set many smaller goals that coincide with it. Even if you fail to reach your deadline for one Goal, you will still succeed at many, and you will build your confidence to a much higher level. Give yourself empowering reasons for getting up when you feel down.

There is a Superhero inside YOU.

What Goals can you set that will inspire you to unleash it?

Keep On Keeping On.

Live Your Dreams.

10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service

2006-09-01T22:02:00.000-06:00

10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service

1. Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. Offer
them a free e-zine subscription. Ask customers if they
want to be updated by e-mail when you make changes to
your Web site. After every sale, follow-up with the
customer to see if they are satisfied with their purchase.

2. Create a customer focus group. Invite ten to twenty of
your most loyal customers to meet regularly. They will give
you ideas and input on how to improve your customer
service. You could pay them, take them out to dinner or
give them free products.

3. Make it easy for your customers to navigate on your
web site. Have a "FAQ" page on your Web site to explain
anything that might confuse your customers. Ask them to
fill out an electronic survey to find out how make your web
site more customer friendly.

4. Resolve your customers complaints quickly and
successfully. Answer all e-mail and phone calls within an
hour. If possible, you the owner of the business, personally
take care of the problem. This will show your customers
you really care about them.

5. Make it easy for your customers to contact you.
Offer as many contact methods as possible. Allow
customers to contact you by e-mail. Hyperlink your e-mail
address so customers won't have to type it. Offer toll free
numbers for phone and fax contacts.

6. Make sure employees know and use your customer
service policy. Give your employees bonuses or incentives
to practice excellent customer service. Tell employees to
be flexible with each individual customer, each one has
different concerns, needs and wants.

7. Give your customers more than they expect. Send thank
you gifts to lifetime customers. E-mail them online greeting
cards on holidays or birthdays. Award bonuses to your
customers who make a big purchase.

8. Always be polite to your customers. Use the words
your welcome, please, and thank you. Be polite to your
customers even if they are being irate with you. Always
apologize to your customers should you make a mistake.
Admit your mistakes quickly and make it up to them in a
big way.

9. Reward customers a point for every one dollar they
spend. Let's say customers can get a free computer for 300
points. That means customers will spend $300 dollars on
your products and services to get enough points to get the
free computer.

10. Build strong relationships with your customers. Invite
them to company meetings, luncheons, workshops or
seminars. Create special events for your customers like
parties, barbecue's, dances etc. This will make them feel
important when you include them in regular business
operations and special events.
