Legal Suite Pro Review

Legal Suite Pro creates up to nine different types of legal statements, all with just a few clicks.  You can combine or exclude some of it easily with just a few click of the mouse.

Legal descriptions such as  ‘privacy policy’, and ‘terms & conditions’ are some of the most important descriptions which Google and many other social media platforms consider in terms of SEO ranking and audit purpose. You should ensure it is displayed or published on your sites.

FTC compliance is a must when dealing with affiliate marketing. You should also declare earning disclaimer to protect your business.

When in doubt you should display as many relevant legal notifications depending on the nature and what is publish on your web portal.

Once this plug-in is installed, you are presented with two options namely 1) Legal Suite Pro and 2) Page Creator.

You can create up to 8 types of legal declarations via the Page Creator menu and have it incorporated into your webpage automatically.  This is really a time saver  You can also opt to consolidate the selected legal declaration into a single HTML file and then incorporate that as a standalone document.

You should ensure it is displayed or published on your digital real estate. You may also be required to include other relevant legal notifications, most of which depends on what is publish on the site.  The information provided by this software are more than adequate to accommodate most requirements.

1) Anti-spam  2)DMCA & Copyright notice, 3) privacy policy, 4)Disclaimer pertaining to earnings, social media and medical where applicable, 5)FTC requirement, 6)Terms and conditions.

Cookie Compliance Bar

With Legal suite pro you can include  disclaimer text banner at the bottom of website.  You can change the text of the banner or button and color of the background easily.

Pro

User friendly via 1-click feature and it can’t get any simpler than that. It is super easy to use and you don’t even need to bother with legal stuffs. The entire installation and setup process takes less than three minute.

The legal statements are professionally written and will help to protect your online business investment from customers and conformed to Google & Facebook ads requirements and regulations.

Anti spam and privacy policy helps to increase conversions and opt-ins because visitors will feel more assure and confidence that their contact emails remains confidential and will not be shared to others without their consent.

The very least you must have is the privacy policy legal words on sites that you wish to collect email contacts. You can check out a sample of the output generated via this software by clicking here.

Cons

Plugin or theme incompatibility with ‘1-Click legal Page’

Regrettably I was unable to get it to work via the one click option using one of my WP blog. I suspect it could be due to some integration issues involving the interactions between the plug-ins and perhaps the theme

I tried it on a brand new freshly installed WordPress site with bare minimum add-on installation and it works fine. The ‘Page Creator’ and the ‘Cookie Compliance Bar’ features works just fine on all the sites I tested.

The incompatibility issue is not a show stopper. You shouldn’t see it as a critical limitation that hinders you from using it. It could very well just be an isolated case. Besides, you can always manually create a file and then copy over the contents generated by this software tool from another test page to your money site.

Final Thoughts & Summary

Legal definitions may dictates the extend of risk you could confront in managing and operating your business online. As such , privacy policy and anti-spam notices are critical legal statements that webmasters must include to safeguard your money making websites as well as for SEO and increase conversions purposes.

Be as truthful and accurate as possible and put up notice of your legal information as prominently as can be. In this regards my review on Legal Suite Pro indicates it does an excellent job.

In summary, is this product worth your investment? I would say definitely yes.

This blog post covers tips and tactics to create an awesome information product quickly based on four simple steps so that you can market it on the digital marketplace and money online.

The four simple steps described in this post is not unique but it is a common strategy often overlook by newbies and unless you follow a working blueprint, chances are that you may end up spending time to create something that either eventually don’t sell or takes longer that what you should to complete.

You may be wondering how on earth some Internet Marketers are able to get their stuffs into Clickbank or JVZoo for selling almost every month. Is it possible for you, even if you have zero experience in digital marketing knowledge to create  and market it quickly, all  within a month or less?

The answer is a big YES. You can not only create one easily and quickly, you can sell it for lucrative profit and continue to do so month after month.

Do Not Sell Junks Based On Private Label Right

Before I go on to reveal the four simple steps, here’s the kicker, it has got NOTHING to do with using PLR materials because the quality of such stuffs are generally perceived to be low and not suitable to be recycled for sales.

Furthermore, it is not surprising that some customers may touch base with you for more in-depth question or advice what they have purchase from you. Chances are that you  will not  be able to offer the best customer support if you are not familiar with the subject matter.

From long term business perspectives, it is important for you to ensure what you are going to sell is of high qualify and  that can truly and proven to solve customer problems.

There are many junk rehash and repackage things being promoted on major digital marketplaces, mostly based on private label right stuff and you do not want to be associated with it.

You should not sell PLR items in the digital marketplace as it will simply harm your reputation and may even probably get your account suspended.  As a matter of fact, I think they are more suitable to be used as giveaways or materials for newsletter,blog or membership content.

How To Be An Expert In What You Wish To Sell Online

One of the main advantage is that you can become an expert in the niche of your choice by simply following a proven 4 simple steps, all without having to invest tons of money to get someone to guide you or teach you. All you need is some time to understand and figure out what value you can bring to the customer.

First and foremost, choose a niche market that you are familiar with or which you have strong passion. Lets say you are an avid and experience Betta fish breeder. Don’t you think it would be easier for you to develop an e-book based on this hobby rather something else you are not familiar with?

Outsource Product Creation

If money is not an issue, you can get engaged someone to create it for you (for e.g via UpWork ). There are some digital product types which more sense to outsource, for instance Internet marketing tools particularly if you are not a programmer or you simply have no time to develop it.

Outsourcing is one of the most important aspect of Internet Marketing that you need to know how to execute as it will free up time for you to focus on other more critical tasks of online business.

If English is not your first language (just like me) or you are not a good writer then it also makes sense to pay someone else to prepare the article content.  One big mistake that I have made  is that I  outsource the entire work including what goes into the content creation to others. This is a big NO NO.

What we should do is defined what key topics goes into the content and then have the third party writer to incorporate it into the information product Always remember that you and only you are the expert of the subject matter and the job of the paid writer is mainly to put down your ideas in words expressed in proper English grammar and sentences.

Software Product Creation – The Big Catch!

Software application launches can be quite successful and lucrative business, particularly within the Internet Marketing niche. New apps are released into the market places such as JVZoo or WarriorPlus on monthly basis. So the question is what’s the catch in regards to it?

I usually have second thoughts about investing either time or money to develop this kind of stuffs.  Don’t get me wrong, there are many people  who makes tons of money developing automation tools for internet marketing business. I guess its a matter of personal choice however there are some key points  you need to consider if you decide to develop one.

Apps generally requires ongoing customer sustaining and support thus it would more sense to engage third party to develop and provide ongoing software  bug fix, enhancement and etc.

My personal opinion is such deliverable is not the best business model because it involves significant capital investment upfront to engage third party developers as well as ongoing technical customer support.

What’s The Best Information Product To Create?

Info content in the form of  “How To” are some of the best topic that sells very well. Regardless of what you do or who you are, there must be something that you knows or familiar with that you can turn into an eBook or an online course.

What if you have zero expertise?  The fastest and most effective way is to find a mentor or an expert or signed up as in a mastermind, or membership course.

If you don’t have the necessary budget to enroll in relevant courses and you have zero expertise then the strategy describe in the following will help you to get started quickly.

The four simple steps to create information product with zero expertise

This strategy involved 4 simple steps so lets go dive right into it. Firstly research about the topic of the information you intend to create.

• Step #1: Google search sites with relevant keywords pertaining to the niche. Two sites you should definitely checkout are 1)Howto.com and 2) Quora.com. You will get tons of information from these sites.
• Step #2: Pick up at least 3 books or magazines that covers the subject matter or topic that are relevant to the product from public library or bookstore. If you have zero expertise then one of the book that you must read is the related “Dummies” book.  Go through and read the books until you fully grasp and understand the relevant subject matter .
• Step #3: Join niche related forums in the Internet and take note of  popular questions or issues discussed. Your information product should focus on solving problems.
• Step #4: Where possible, purchase or acquire one or two  similar information items sold on Clickbank or any other market place. I can assure you the money spend will be worth it. Study and determine topics or questions that are not addressed in and make your product better.

Final Thoughts

You can create an information product quickly using the four simple steps described in this post.  All it takes is some experience and once you develop the first, you will have no problem to rinse and repeat the same strategy to make it a full time income.

Best Marketing Platforms For Digital Products

Benefits of digital marketing platforms

The main benefit of such platform is that you don’t have to get involved with the nitty-gritty details of payment and refunds transaction.

Some of these marketplaces offer a free hosting service where a seller can upload their products directly.

The buyer can directly download the products from the marketplace platform after payment is made.

You don’t need a website to sell online if you doing it through all these marketplaces.  Thus you can almost achieve zero up cost upfront to start an Internet marketing business. Truly amazing isnt it?

Moreover, you also get to leverage on the high-volume of traffic from such marketplaces to attract more affiliates to sign up to promote your products.

Free method to build a targeted list quickly

Digital marketplaces are also  good sources to build targeted list quickly. For instance, you can put a free digital product on WarriorPlus.

People just simply have to opt into your list as subscribers in return to get the link to the free products. This is such a simple and powerful strategy to build a list quickly.

You don’t need to buy clicks such as in Solo Ads or invest in paid traffics such as Facebook or Google Adwords to get prospects and potential customers to your future products.

Moreover, this is an easy way to make money with CPA.  Add your CPA affiliate link to the opt-in thank you page.

Cross-Promotion & JV Tie Up

The main objective of most marketers who sold their products as low-cost front end ticket items (in the range of 5 to 10 bucks)  is for building a list which they can then market over and over again. You can easily recover the cost of the commission charge through the back-end sales funnel such as the up-sells.

The list you build through this marketplace is a targeted one because they are customers who purchase your products.

You can easily recover the cost of the commission charge through the back-end sales funnel such as the up-sells.

These sites are ideal for new online marketers to network and discuss cross promotion of products with others within the same niche or  sub-niche.

You can engage in list swapping or consider joint venture and partner with others for the next product release.

Joint venture is one of the best strategy for you to build your customer list quickly by leveraging on other people list. You can offer your digital product as a free bonus add-on for a JV tie-up.

Quick Summary & Thoughts

All it takes is just a little bit of research to figure out the best platform to market and digital products.

The top 6 power platforms should get you quickly started with almost zero start up cost (except for some investment into the product itself.)

Last but not least, it is important to note that these marketing platforms are also ideal for those who are into affiliate marketing as there are plenty of products to choose from to promote.

Sell online – What Are The Options?

What should you sell online, digital or physical products? Yes, that’s the biggest question on the mind of many that are new to the  online business world.

Much has been said and discussed on the pro and cons of selling digital content versus physical products online. Nowadays you can practically sell anything online.

Benefits Of Selling Digital Products

On the average, the profit margin for selling digital products, be it as a product vendor or as an affiliate in the marketplace such as Clickbank or JVZoo or Warrior+Plus.

The commissions offered by such marketplaces are much higher versus selling  physical products in  places such as Amazon and eBay stores.

Some products in Clickbank offer as much as up to 75% or more affiliate commission while Amazon ranges from 3% to 5% maximum.  Furthermore, you can build a list of customer subscribers where you can sell over and over gain through your thank you page after someone purchase a digital product.

You can’t build a list from selling Amazon products as an affiliate because you are not able to contact the customer directly.

Another major advantage with selling digital products as an affiliate is that you may get recurrence payment such as those involving membership sites, monthly or annually bill services for software licensing and ongoing enhancement or upgrades and etc.

You are only paid once when you make an online physical product per sale. Even if you factor in any upsells the fact is that you will only get paid once for that upsell.  Recurrence billing for physical product is not as common as digital goods.

Apart from the time spent to create an online product such as an ebook or a software, there is not much upfront capital required versus physical products where you need to source and stock inventory, liaise with suppliers to secure marketing rights and etc.

Benefits Of Selling Physical Products

More and more people are buying goods online.  For many, it is a time saver as it alleviates the hassle associated with time to travel and queue up to pay for the item in the retail shop.

Moreover, the turn-around time to deliver goods purchased online via UPS and other transport services are  improving and this contributes to improves customer experience.

Moreover, the turn-around time to deliver goods purchased online via UPS and other transport services are  improving and this contributes to improves customer experience.

The convenience of placing orders with the click of the mouse button, increasingly varieties of products found in digital stores  coupling with increasing secure payment makes e-commerce the ideal choice for consumers to buy online.

On the other hand, eCommerce activity is growing at a tremendous rate and is estimated to involved $4.1 TRILLION dollars woth of goods in the world.

Selling physical products via on-line web-portal is getting more interesting and lucrative due to drop shipping in AliExpress, Amazon and etc.

Using drop shipping essentially provides you the option of  not having the need to personally handle the shipment of the product. You can if you want to by the way for instance offer your own physical products  in the eCom store.

Generally speaking, the perceived value of a physical product is much higher than a digital product. You can take the opportunity to expand and increase your customer base and outreach by starting an e-commerce even if you already have a retail brick and mortar business.

Just imagine being able to run a store 24 hours 7 days a week with little or no extra overhead operational cost.

Final Thoughts

There are advantageous and disadvantageous to sell digital products or physical products online. I guess it is just a matter of preferences as to which way you should go for.

There are never short of things to market online with both methods.  E-commerce market share is getting bigger and will continue to grow in the near future. For those who are new to online marketing,  going with digital products would be a good start.

What are the top 3 Internet marketing mistake to avoid and why do you have to bother about it ?

Have you ever wonder why only 2% of Internet marketers truly make money online? Yes, that’s right, only the top 2% make it big.  The rest either barely break even or continue to bleed and burn their cash in the business until they finally go broke.

Here are three top reasons why 98% never make a dime online or barely make enough to recover their investment in terms of time and efforts.

Internet Marketing Mistake #1- Zero Action Equates Zero Result

If you don’t take any action nothing happens. This is simply common sense but you will be surprised that many people just continue to spend money on the next Internet marketing software or product in the hope that it will change their lives without actually taking ANY actions whatsoever.

It’s as simple as that, if you don’t take action or simply put it off to last minute in the notion that you need to learn more before you start to work on it, chances are that you will never start and remains where you are period. As someone rightfully put it, take massive imperfect action is better than waiting for perfection before taking the 1st step!!

Put it in another way, if you work for someone and you do nothing, take no action despite being assign tasks what do you think your boss will do?  Internet marketing and any online business for that matter require actions on your part so the sooner you take action the sooner you will learn from mistakes or learn from experience to move on.

Internet Marketing Mistake #2 – Information Overload- Fail To Take Massive Imperfect Action

This is perhaps the biggest problem faced by most Internet marketing newbies.  We are bombarded with all sort of money making strategies and tactics.  It is not surprising for most people to receive tons of marketing emails daily promoting the latest and greatest secrets to earn big bucks.

As the saying goes, too many of a good thing may not be good after all.  You will go nowhere with your business, be it online or offline if you don’t focus and spend enough time to try it out. Moving quickly from one business marketing strategy to the next without any patience is a recipe to achieve total failure insofar as online marketing is concerned.

Give yourself at least six months or more to focus on implementing just one particular technique  and if you still don’t make it  by then  explore other means and moves on. I have seen some people focused on CPA marketing for just one week and the next moment move on to Shopify to sell physical products.

The key takeaway message is stop trying to waste money looking for that ‘shiny objects’ in the hope that it will make you successful online. Stop subscribing to forums, Facebook groups, chat and marketing emails which do nothing but only serve to distract and confuse you with tons of information.

Stop subscribing to forums, Facebook groups, chat,blogs, social-media and marketing emails which actually don’t really serve any meaningful purpose other than to  distract and confuse you with tons of information that you don’t need to take the 1st step.

Internet Marketing Mistake #3 – Did Not Establish Any Measurable Goals

As the saying goes, failing to plan is to plan to fail. You must define at least one goal to achieve within the next six months in regards to what you plan to do in the online space world  and then further break it down into sub-goals then is manageable and measurable by months, weeks and even days. You can’t achieve or improve what you can’t measure, so the saying goes.

Most people (that includes me of course but I got over it eventually ) prefers others to set goals for them and also have others to drive them to meet it. Don’t think so?

How many employees do you think prefers to set for themselves challenging goals with aggressive timeline to meet? Most prefer the boss to estimate the timeline and as a matter of fact would even go as far as to negotiate to factor additional 25 percent margin time on top of the schedule underpin by the boss.

So being your own boss makes it even more difficult for yourself to set challenging but realistic goals,  to commit to work towards and to achieve it.  Bottomline, being your own boss which is what most home based online business is all about requires discipline and firm and resolute commitment to make it happen.

Know your numbers particularly in regards to how much you spend and invest into your online business, track your results and compare it against the goals you have set. If you don’t have a plan or metric to reference , you are practically going to lose money or time or both insofar as online business is concern.

Quick Final Thoughts

There are many reasons why many people failed to make money online. In most cases, the problem lies with themselves, mostly for having unreasonable expectations or simply not taking it seriously to want to make it successful.

Among the three reasons listed above, inaction is the biggest factor , after all, you may have heard the catchphrase ‘no pain no glory, no risk no gain’ so to speak. So in summary, do yourself a favor, stop being a NATO ( no action, talk only) and start to take action. The first step is always a hurdle but you will get over it and make progress if you set your mind and focus on it.

I used to invest lots of money into Internet Marketing tools and software in the hope that it will help me to make quick money.  Some of these tools could certainly improve work productivity, particularly in areas of automating repetitive tedious tasks such as market and keyword research, content generation, article spinning to name a few.

Here are some important things to consider before you whip out your credit card to buy such tools. You may end up paying more for what you bargain for.

• Is it one time off payment or monthly subscription fee based?
• Warranty timeline and the terms and conditions for the refund of the product purchased.
• Do you need to install the software in your PC/mobile or is it cloud based in form of software as a service (SAS)
• Expiration timeline for the ongoing software patch, bug fix and upgrades
• Does it operates on both MAC and Windows
• Licensing in terms of how many PC or computers can you install the software
• Is there a community where you can share experience, issues , patches or fixes with other customers who purchase the product.
• Mechanism to upgrade the software tool ( Is it a one click auto upgrade or you have to manually apply the patch )
• Availability and the type of training materials on how to use the tool or product effectively.
• Any past testimonials from beta users or if the product or tool is an enhancement from previous older version then what are the feedback from past users.
• How much time or how much money do you expect to make or save (ROI) from using this tool
• How frequent will you be using this product/tool/software
• How soon do you intend to start to use it, is it immediately and if not then can you do without it.
• What is the learning curve to master the tool, how simple or difficult do you think it will be.
• Any comparable tools in the market with similar features or performance and price comparison.
• Reputation of the product vendor (Do a background check on any negative feedback on the vendor promoting the software or the product developer )

Internet Marketing Tools To Invest In

Consider Outsourcing In Internet Marketing

If you don’t see yourself making use of the software tool or product at least once a week then don’t waste your money to acquire it ; you are better off spending the money on getting someone else to get the job done,probably at a fraction of the cost of the product you intend to buy.  You can outsource almost practically anything pertaining to Internet marketing and online business. Just head to FiveErr and UpWork to what you need to be done quickly at very affordable price.

Become A Beta User For Free Applications

You may also consider using free tools that are readily and widely available, just Google search and you will find tons of free stuffs that you can use for zero cost. Alternatively you can check out forums and board discussion to sign up as beta users for tools under evaluation (beta testing). Here is a link to a good graphic and photo editing beta tools which cost nothing except the time for you to get familiarize with.

Most software tools becomes obsolete within a year after it is released, Most of those that I invested in no longer works after several months, either due to the need to change the implementation of the API within the program and probably tons of other reasons. The most annoying part of it is that the vendor or supplier of the product cease to provide patch or updates after a year or so and you are left with digital garbage.

Focus On A Single Internet Marketing Money Making Technique

It is quite easy to get distracted by all those Internet marketing tools released to the market on almost every weekly basis  and the general tendency for most people  is to buy the latest shiny stuffs in the hope that it will help get them to make money with it.

This is the ONE biggest mistake that I make for the past several years and unless you start to focus on just one particular money making technique and stick to it for as long as you can, you will go nowhere with all the tools  you buy.

Say for instance, you decide to focus on Affiliate marketing and then you pick up to three products that you wish to promote. Once you have done the necessary research on those products (market trend and demand for the products and profit margins) you will then decide the strategy or approach to get people to notice your offer. You can either focus on free search traffic via SEO (search engine optimization) or paid traffic (Search Engine Marketing ).

Let’ say you decide to use paid traffic to drive visitors to your website or landing page. Next you need to determine the search engine marketing strategy to use.  Let’s assume you opted to go with Solo Ads to gather leads or prospects.

By using a systematic approach on each step of the marketing process you  are less likely to get distracted with other ‘shiny objects’ and focus on the necessary tools to achieve the end goal which is namely to make money from promoting affiliate offers of the products you have targeted.

Quick Final Thoughts

I am an advocate of automation software and tools to improve work productivity. Where possible and if you can afford it by all means go ahead and invest in products or services that can help you make more money quickly. However you need to stay absolute focus and be really selective on the type of Internet marketing products that you wish to invest your hard earned money on.

Don’t get distracted by all those over hype marketing emails on the so called ‘latest must have money making stuffs’.  Ultimately it is the value that you bring to your customers and prospects which matters and not what tools you used to promote or reach out to the your prospect or leads.

Be very focus on what products you wish to promote, the marketing strategy and approach that you will take and last but not least the tools that you need to get the job done. In most cases you may realize that there are many free tools that can meet the requirements.

• Internet Marketing Is Really Content Marketing

It’s been almost two years since I last updated anything on this blog. I can’t believe I actually some sort of left it become a dead blog. Well, I’ve to admit somewhat or rather somehow down the line, I was sidetracked into other things in life. By no means it implies I have given up on Internet Marketing. On the contrary, I am more than inclined to believe that moving ahead into 2017, it becomes more imperative and makes even more sense for people seeking income security to consider Internet Marketing or any online business as viable alternatives.

The statistics is still pretty grim for those who wish to make money online via Internet marketing. Over 90% will fail and eventually give up on trying to do so within the first 2 years. Why is that so? The reason is pretty simple.  Those who are making it big in the online business world, particularly those in the Internet Marketing niche would’ve want you to believe that you need to continue to invest in the latest strategies, tactics and  money making tools promoted by them either as affiliate or as product sellers.

I received dozens of promotional emails daily, ranging from the Warrior’s Forum, JVZoo and email marketing list from those I have signed up for and you know what? It’s all the shiny syndromes and other craps they would want you to believe you can’t do without

Yes, it is true and no doubt that some of the strategies, tactics and approach used in the past such as auto-blogging, bookmarking, article marketing and etc are either obsolete and no longer effective and in some case counter productive thus require online marketers to adapt however that is the main reason why most people failed in the online business.

I guess that’s all for today, stay tuned for upcoming post which I will share with you guys as to what you must do to succeed in the Internet space and so that you will be able to give the middle finger to all those who are sucking you high and dry and selling you dreams.

• Learning How to Make Money Using the Internet

I won’t be surprised if  all your emails to Gmail users landed straight in the ‘promotion’ or ‘spam’ folders. There is no doubt that the new Gmail tab system affects mail open rates and disrupt online sales eventually.

Check out this earlier post on the impact of the new Google mail to your online list building and marketing efforts. As if that is not bad enough, you have to struggle with increasingly amount of competition in your market place for prospects attention, many of which you will never reach due to what many frustrated marketers called ‘Google Sucker Email Punch’.

Don’t let all your time and efforts goes down the drain because all  your marketing emails end up in the promotions tab and never get noticed and nor read by recipients. Worst still, don’t let all your hard works go completely wasted by Gmail which channel all your email marketing campaigns to the spam folder.

The new Gmail tabs impacted a lot of Internet marketers. You don’t have to be one of the statistic and see all your earnings and list building efforts and sales dwindle. Wouldn’t be nice if you could capitalize and leverage on the new Gmail tabbing system to ensure all your mails goes into your subscriber primary folder?

While your competitors are struggling to cope with falling open rates, you can take the opportunity to let more customers and prospects to see your offers and make more money! One important clue I noticed from the new Gmail  message filtering was that  most of the emails targeted were those send from major auto-responder services such GetResponse, Aweber and etc.

Armed with this information, you can easily dominate all your competitor  as far as  email marketing campaigns are concern; with little money, efforts and time using a very simple tactic. What exactly it is? Please read on..

Get Your Email Into The Primary Folder Using This Method!

One of the most effective and possibly the easiest way to take full control of  your new Gmail account, to be able increase your email click through and open rate is by using self hosted or third party personalized private email hosting service such as  that provided by NameCheap‘.

Chances are that emails send through self hosted account service has higher chances of  landing in the ‘Primary’ folder and thus get notice and read by recipients compare to those originates from an auto-responder. The method described here  is certainly not one hundred percent effective nor fool proof. Other factors such as those listed in another post pertaining to  dealing with new Gmail impact where your messages gets channel and directed to.

Why Very Few Consider Self Hosted Email Service

Back in those earlier days, long before the establishment of auto responder service providers such as Aweber or GetResponse, a lot of online business relied on in-house servers, mainly comprising hardware and software to host email service. The cost to maintain such an infrastructure particularly for one-man home based Internet business can be quite substantial, not to mention the technical knowledge and time required to keep in up and running 24 hours round the clock.

If you are technical savvy enough and you have spared old computer at home with reasonable hard disk space, it is relatively easy to set up an email exchange system.  Depending on the operating and the type of server, there are plenty of information online to get you started but basically you really need to have some knowledge of IT to get it done.

Quick Wrap Up

The suggestion highlighted in this post is not intended to replace any auto responder service but rather to let you have higher chances and opportunity to reach out and inform your subscribers and prospects of the need to check their ‘promo’ or ‘social’ tabs for your newsletters or to advice them to configure their mail setting to redirect your emails to their primary folder.

There are other various channels for you to ‘educate’ and inform your prospects and customers for instance through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and etc. The shortcoming though with this approach is that not all your subscribers can be reach through social media networking sites.

Where challenges arise, there exists opportunities which you can take advantage of  to bring your business to the next level.  The new Gmail will no doubt affect many marketers, well you don’t have to be one of them if you apply some of the tips that I have posted in this blog. Good luck and best wishes!

We lived in a fast paced rat race world.Even though the advent of technology has made much improvement to our daily life, for many, particularly adults, stress seems to be the order of the day. In fact for some, anxiety symptoms seems to be chronic and totally out of control, it affects a person’s entire well-being. It seems to get worse off by the days, weeks and months. Many resort to medications and drugs such as antidepressants, sleeping pills, alcohol and etc.

There are those who take up self hypnotism, yoga, deep breathing techniques and meditation in bid to overcome anxiety. Stress is a massive silent killer, it can cause a plethora of health problems such as high blood pressure, insomnia, heart disease, cancer and etc.

Stress related treatment books are big sellers and rake in bug bucks for the authors. Just go to any bookstores and you find that the personal and self help magazines, articles and books related to stress management taking top spots on the shelf. The problem with most of these stress management books are that they rarely yield good results from practical implementation aspects.

For instance, you might come across many personal development guru that emphasize on ‘effective time management’ as a way to overcome stress.  The interesting fact though is that we can’t manage time.  There is 24 hours in a day and there is nothing we can do to add or subtract a minute from it!

Focus Your Attention, Not Try To Manage Time

Both successful as well as struggling individual has same amount of time in a day. What you really need to do is to manage your FOCUS and ATTENTION on things that will give you the most benefits and bring you closer to achieve your goals within the shortest time,  highest return of investment so to speak.

Learn and  make it a point to prioritize the list of tasks or things that you need to do daily.  Some people like to start off their day by doing simple tasks and then work their way through  to complete the more challenging, difficult or time consuming task at a later stage.

Others prefer to start their day by working progressively from the most  difficult tasks to the easier ones towards the end of  business day. So which of the two methods described earlier should you focus your attention on?  You can choose either one so long as you feel comfortable and it suits your way to get things done.

Don’t Procrastinate, Just Do It Now!

The second tip to reduce stress is by not creating one unnecessary in the first place.  Do not procrastinate, make it a point to just do it if you can, right at the moment and on the spot.

Check out this link on why procrastination can limit or even deter your success in life. Some say procrastinating is a learn behavioral process while others think it is a disease.

It is not good to cultivate the habit of deferring or putting aside things or issues that you can attend to immediately. Don’t wait for another day to get something done  if you can have it completed immediately .

Tasks that you put aside or ignore will eventually catch up and  soon you will find yourself having to face avalanche of stress unnecessary.

Take for instance when you get up from bed in the morning, you can either tidy up the bed-sheet immediately before you do anything else or you can go ahead brush your teeth, have breakfast and then  do a thousand and one thing before you tidy up the mattress or the bed-sheet.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to clear the bed first thing you woke up since it is is a simple routine chore that can be done within minutes. The concept of  ‘just do it’ makes a lot of sense isn’t it?

Well guess what? You can revert and circumvent the auto filter messages. Indeed Gmail provide user the option to redirect messages back to the ‘Primary’ folder or any of the categories easily using the following
method:

Find one of my emails in “Promotions” and drag it into “Primary”. A pop-up will appear to ask if you want to do this for all future messages and click “Yes” and you are basically done with it.

Another method is go to “Settings” [the icon on the top right corner of your screen above your inbox] and select “settings.” Click on the “Inbox” tab and “Unselect” all categories but “Primary” and then click “Save Changes.”)

You should forward these important tips to your subscribers so that they will not miss out on your marketing emails or newsletters moving forward.
