How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot
And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money
online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you've got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************
Here's what this is all about: My favorite IM expert
Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video
course that will walk you through the process of creating
a killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more
about that later. First, let's talk about the videos
themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can view the free videos right now
THERE IS NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD
YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEOS AS SOON
AS YOU ENTER THE SITE OVER AND OVER AGAIN -
THAT WAS A PLUS FOR ME!

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************
Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just view the free
videos right now

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it's structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it's important to
pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create
the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so
they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you've been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it's that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you're going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you
can't just have a single front end product, and you'll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn
all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - HOW TO GET TONS OF TRAFFIC FOR
YOUR MINI SITE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your
mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

The following 4 videos are presented for your
consideration, there is no obligation for you to upgrade
at any time. However you get to read these descriptions
so you can get an idea of the valuable information Michael
has included in those 4 advanced videos.

*************************************************
DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it's free?

If you decide that you want to continue your
education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you
can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.
The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here's a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you're out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE
YOU MONEY
*************************************************

When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you
should focus on first. This video will walk you
through the four most important marketing activities
you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.

Once you master these four, you'll never have to
wonder what you should do when you start a new mini
site. You'll have an easy-to-follow road map for
driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

*************************************************
VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE
*************************************************

In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his
best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you'd want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you'll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could
double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your
average order (which puts more money into your
pocket).

- The one thing you must add to your 'download page'
that will instantly increase your income (with no
extra work, once this thing is put into place).

- How to turn your actual product into a money making
machine!

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

helped you decide to check out Michael Rasmussen's
Mini Site Profits Exposed video course. Remember the
course is absolutely free, so you have nothing to
lose.

Michael believes that it's important for him to prove
himself to you before he ever asks you to buy anything
from him. He wants to show you that he will deliver

A Wake-Up Call with David Allen Bullock's 4letterkiller

2008-01-23T10:32:00.002-08:00

OK! the 4letterkiller is just a word...right, and words are used for
many reasons: to express feelings, to formulate intentions, to
threaten, to command, to beg...

You probably could come up with many more reasons and so could I
but I have a hidden agenda here... bingo there's another reason for
words... covering up our real intentions...

David Bullock has written an excellent report focusing
on a 4letterkiller word we might be using on our way to failure -
he does offer a 6letter word that can lead us to success.

The author says: "I didn't write this report so you could sell it...
give something away that could push someone over the hump..."

So that's what I'm doing...you can pay it forward with this link:

Everything You Need to Set up a Network of Money Pumping Oilwells.

2008-01-20T19:50:00.000-08:00

"Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet" is chock full of illustrated, "Oh so easy!" steps that show you exactly the easiest, simplest route to:

Getting yourself properly set up with the big affiliate networks. You wanna get those juicy commission cheques, don't you?

Generating profitable ideas and checking them for feasibility against the trends. Make sure you're only putting up money makers. No sense wasting precious goof-off time on duds.

Digging into the keywords to unearth the gems that are not only the kind of low-competition phrases that will put you on the top of the heap at Google, but also are the kind of phrases that will actually bring you sales (Not all do!)

Finding the right affiliate products. Evaluating them and their sales pages, to make sure they're The Ones -- the ones to put a lot of commission cheques in your pocket.

Create content the easy way and suck in the traffic like a giant Shop Vac. This is the backbone of your money making empire, and it's so easy to obtain.

Recycle that content in a number of ways that make the best use of your time. Less writing + more money = more Mai Tais on the beach!

Build your Money Pumping Oilwells' simple, but vital internal engine in well under 10 minutes. This is the driving force that gets those commission-pulling clicks.

Dig into the Black Ops bag and come up with even more tricks to bring in more commissions. It's just incredible what an extra trick or two can do for your bank account.

Finally, build your very own Squidoo lens (Yep, the one they all been talking about, and it looks so daunting). Well ... with the simple step-by-step, richly illustrated (I had Van Gogh brought back to colour these) instructions, it's a snap -- 20-30 minutes and you're Squidooing. This chapter could easily stand alone and be sold separately as its own Recipe -- call it a BONUS, from me to you.

Kevin Riley has written 122 pages of step-by-step valuable marketing advice, sprinkled with humourous drawings!

According to Nicola Grubisa Myth No. 3 is that you need to be in the
right line of business to amass wealth.

Ok, then he goes on to say that means that all the people who are
involved in the same kind of business are millionaires - of course
that isn't true but it does seem that there's a better chance to
amass some money in the types of occupation where one is allowed
to use entreprise and initiative rather that working for wages.

I think that in some types of work like sweeping the streets,
collecting trash, working in a factory, pumping gas etc. it's
possible to save for a comfortable future but it would be unlikely
to amass great wealth unless you were successful at stock trading
or internet marketing in your free time.

So is it a myth to say that you need to be in the right line of
business to amass wealth? I'm not sure... maybe Mr. Grubisa
means that a person who really wants to amass wealth would get
himself in the right line of business instead of making excuses?

What do you think?

Reviewing Nicola Grubisa's Myth No.2

2008-01-16T14:20:00.000-08:00

I agree with Mr. Grubisa when he states it's a myth that you
shouldn't expect to be paid for something you enjoy. When I
occasionally engage in a hobby I enjoy I don't think I'm working,
but when people who are artists, actors, musicians, to name a
few, make many sacrifices to spend time honing their natural
talent... they do need a living income and in many cases have
to spend some hours getting that income in some other job.

Another aspect of that proposition is that many women who did
volunteer work in the days when the patriarchy denied them
equal access to important jobs, didn't feel truly fullfilled.

However, even if I was very happy to reach a point where I was
able to make a comfortable income working in my preferred field
would that continue to be enough to satisfy all my aspirations?

I think not, I believe that I would soon start measuring my
success by comparing my rewards to those of others and continue
to reach for new challenges.

So I agree with Mr.Grubisa that it's a myth to say you should
not be paid for doing work you enjoy and that the ultimate goal
is to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never feels like
you're at work!

Any comments?

Reviewing Nicola Grubisa's Myth No. 1

2008-01-12T21:18:00.000-08:00

Nicola Grubisa says in his article "8 Myths About Creating Wealth"
that these myths hinder our quest for financial independence.

I started to wonder how true that statement is and I remembered
that one of my adult sons told me once that watching his father
and me working all the time while he was growing up didn't make
him look forward to being an adult! And I thought we were setting
a good example!

Actually we didn't work 'just for the money', we got some enjoyment
from the work we were doing but we didn't have time for any
entertaining activities and that would certainly be unacceptable to
a teen-ager!

So one interpretation of Mr. Grubisa's Myth No. 1 would be that
"how much you earn depends on how hard you work" is a myth
because exchanging time for pay sets a limitation on earnings since
there is a limit to the number of hours any person can spend
working...meaning that to have a better income a person needs to
increase the value of the time spent working.

Wishing a Happy and Prosperous 2008 to All

2008-01-08T20:30:00.000-08:00

Here's wishing a happy and prosperous 2008 to all my readers!
This new year comes with the quadrennial expectations of a
Presidential Election, made more exciting this time because
there is no incumbent...

When I hear the talk of change in the campaign speeches I
hope for more peace in our world and stability in our economy.
I believe most people want to be able to take care of their
families and better their financial position with a minimum
of stress and turmoil... I think the young adults in this
nation need to realize their responsibility to vote for the
kind of leaders that will focus on the long term best interests
of our nation.

I was driven to change this website, mostly the colors and I
hope it pleases my visitors, I'm pretty satisfied with the way
it looks now, green background for money with a nice balance
of grey and some green accents on the main page.

I also want to do a better job at sharing information and tips
with my readers... it's not always easy to do because I get very
little feedback...I keep on hoping for more comments.

With my next post I will start expanding on the 8 Myths About
Creating Wealth article by Nicola Grubisa published here last
month.

The 8 Myths About Creating Wealth

2007-12-18T01:12:00.000-08:00

Copyright 2002, Nicola Grubisa

You have probably read or heard about various myths (these are the truths that are valid only for certain cases, but not in general) surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence. Here are the
most common and most destructive:

Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work

If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn't true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class.

If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day's work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn't a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work "just" for the money often have debts because they
comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working.

Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn't work and you shouldn't ask for money for doing something that is enjoyable.

Check this with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don't need to work anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun ... and all are connected to a love for their
work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their dreams.

In fact, if you don't enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However, just because you enjoy your work doesn't mean you shouldn't get paid for it - in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so
it never feels like you are at work!

Myth No. 3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth

Do you think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this isn't true. In each business there are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of distasteful (to most) or "impossible" work like sweeping the streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many "losers" in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker.

Myth No. 4: You need the right education to make a fortune

Are the most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case, university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different - the wealthiest
people are those who can convert their knowledge (or education) into money, in the best possible way. They can be highly educated people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant.

Being formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success - they can easily be experts without having a formal education.

Myth No. 5: It used to be easier

Statistics show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking about the "good old times" only offers comfort and a convenient excuse. If you look around, you'll see there are people who behaved the same way in the
"good old times" as they do now, yet their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily to serve them.

Myth No. 6: I'm too old (young)

If you research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you'll see that this isn't true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives (perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc,
was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the first McDonald's.

Myth No. 7: I don't have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money.

This is no different from any other excuse or "myth." Like the others, it's obvious this one isn't true either. Many have made their fortunes starting from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet, they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to start a business.

But yes, often money helps and it certainly doesn't hurt. Like everything else discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary.

Myth No. 8: I'll begin when I know everything

Do you believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you'll know enough to ever be "really prepared now?" The more you learn, the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you "could" come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately and many will change rapidly. If you don't decide now, nothing will happen. Live and learn.

Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn't the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy. If you're really good in your
business, don't worry, because someone that will offer you money (a bank or business partner) will appear who will appreciate your talent knowing you are a very good investment opportunity. But you can't sit around waiting for this - make it happen.

Exercise "taking action" as much as you can. Make your workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it isn't your corporation - but it is the only corporation through which you can prove what you are capable of right now.

All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind!

No one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from the
inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself!

Do You Struggle for Answers to these Questions?

2007-10-23T13:27:00.000-07:00

Or do serious marketers think serious thoughts all the time?

Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing
liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes?
Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal

Just for laughs!

How to Give Each Customer a Personal Response AND Consistent Follow-Up

2007-09-07T18:54:00.000-07:00

Putting The "Service" Back In "Customer Service"
By Sean Cohen

The future of customer service is here. Technology has made seeking out support faster and easier than ever. But, has your digital age company sacrificed true service in the name of automation?

Today, finding customer support is as simple as writing an e-mail or picking up the phone. But, even though you're not face-to-face with your customers, you still leave a lasting impression. Do you come across as caring and competent, or menacing and mechanical?

Offering stand-out service on the Internet isn't as hard as it is rare. Take these simple steps towards old-style service in the digital age:

Give Each Customer a Personal Response
Be Clear, But Sincere
Offer Live Customer Support
Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All the Answers

Give Each Customer a Personal Response
When a customer sits down to e-mail your company, it's because he needs help. He chooses e-mail because it's quick, but his request still warrants a satisfying and personal response!

Companies eager to save time and money often take automation too far in their customer support. Each customer has a unique question, and deserves a unique answer. Even if you save time by copying and pasting stock replies, change the opening and closing to make the message sound less robotic.

Be Clear, But Sincere
When responding to customers' e-mail, be sincere and to the point. Before sending a message, try turning the tables. Ask yourself, "Would this answer satisfy me if I were the customer?"

Take that extra moment to give your customer the help he deserves. It might mean the difference between a satisfied customer and a credit card chargeback!

Offer Live Customer Support
E-mail has become an acceptable form of communication. But, live customer support is still necessary. The plethora of information available online can be overwhelming to customers, especially those new to the Internet!

Single your company out from the crowd by providing customers with a real person to talk to. Live phone support is an invaluable way to foster trust. When your customer has reached the end of his Internet rope, and just needs help, your toll free number is the answer he's looking for.

Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All The Answers
The presence of phone support will do no good if your staff doesn't know your product! Customer support reps should be warm and friendly, and willing to help with any aspect of your product.

What a good feeling it is to talk to someone who feels confident in his product. It's even better if he's knowledgeable enough to solve your problem without transferring you all around the company!

Provide Stand-Out Service; Gain Lifelong Customers
Too many e-businesses skimp on customer service, hiding behind web sites and message boards. Customer support is an integral part of every company, even those operating solely online. Be one of the few to offer stellar service, and gain customers for life!

Customer Service is becoming a lost art, but Sean Cohen wants to make sure that never happens at AWeber Communications!

1. Find demand

2. Write sales letter

3. Create info product to meet demand

4. Roll out with affiliate program

That whole formula is elaborated on in much greater depth in both Amazing Formula and Gimme My Money Now.

Here’s what I found out from my survey. Most of you guys and gals have jobs that you want to escape from. You have bills and debts to pay...
