In business and professions it is often called &amp;quot;networking&amp;quot;, online I prefer to think of it as relationship marketing. You can only increase the effectiveness of your programs and projects by having a &amp;quot;built in&amp;quot; market for your efforts. Networking gives you connections, relationship marketing builds you ready customers and affiliates to continue your marketing enterprise.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Joint ventures for solid, detailed business operations and projects are more of a contractual relationship.

On the web, it's even worse. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You only have a few precious seconds to get your customer's attention and close the sale -- if not, many will leave your site at the simple click of a mouse never to return again, no matter how effective your website is!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Overlooked, Building Relationships through “Call Backs” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;E-Commerce moves forward on Auto Responders&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043" target="_blank"&gt;Your best source and price, click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-8936881654104266948?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8936881654104266948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8936881654104266948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2012/01/relationship-marketing.html' title='Relationship Marketing--'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-y8ad6DVGcQA/TxbXHtXlAYI/AAAAAAAAATw/uV0asMSyPb4/s72-c/yes_thumb.gif?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-5161238381065930519</id><published>2012-01-05T09:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T07:32:24.753-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are the "Yellow Pages" dead or just over the hill?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Profits with Web Site Building for Local Merchants&lt;br /&gt;Build a cash business working from your home building web sites for local merchants and professionals....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.trafficgeyser.com/?AFFID=33556"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;check now!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't disconnect your phone just yet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Move over Yellow Pages my fingers are typing. The walking is outdated by the time you go to print and at the prices you charge watch out for your profits. Commercial enterprises are fighting for recognition and top spots on the major search engines. It's a new day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real opportunities exist for small and medium size businesses to compete and grow with the advent of online e-commerce. In fact going online is NOT an option, it is necessary to stay profitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the days of "Let your fingers do the walking", yes, oh yes, it was smart to&lt;br /&gt;call ahead and see if an item was in stock, or how much it cost. No doubt it was smart to check the store hours and even directions to the location or parking. One phone call could save hours of travel and cut down on the surprises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-commerce has leveled the playing field for small businesses. They can expand and broaden their prospect base, lower their cost of operations, cut payroll and tend the counter 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 24/7 is the cry. You can order online and in many cases pickup up your order a few hours later. In other cases next day delivery is usually available for in stock items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entertainment, food and home pizza delivery are right at your finger tips. Attracting customers is no longer owned by the media experts with their costly time consuming promotion building and production. Printing , direct mail, delivery and related costs are beaten by offerings available online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet operation allows target marketing, faster with immediate changes possible. The smart business person knows they can follow up with customers, maintain retention programs, foster relationship building, have immediate cross selling, up selling, back-end sales and yes it's not a word to be used easily, conducting your business can be CHEAPER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The opportunities abound for a person with computer knowledge working from home, low overhead, no office to rent and most important on their time schedule. Like working after the youngsters are in bed or away at school? Find a merchant or a few in your area and offer to help them build their business presence by creating a web page with sales and order options.&lt;br /&gt;Build your own business using affiliate marketing opportunities. Major retailers have found massive benefits broadening their sales force with independent home-based workers. Facts are home based affiliate workers are eagerly sought and compensated by performance based pay plans. You effectively introduce the clients to the merchants and you receive commissions and payments for your efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opportunities to sell merchandise through e-bay or other online auctions have become very profitable. Building a web page with offerings using drop ship wholesalers providing the products, handling and shipping. Promote the web sales site, line up a payment program such as PayPal or ClickBank and pocket the profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-commerce is a matter of building a method of contacting and presentation to an ever growing audience of buyers looking online through search engines and directories to satisfy their needs. Building a data base of e-mail addresses with contact permission privileges and creating traffic to web sites on a regular schedule is a major component of your new home based business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Permission e-mailing or optin safelists are the lifeline of e-commerce. Contacts are made, sales messages are communicated and sales jobs are done....harsh but true. Additional benefits...and maybe the MOST IMPORTANT, COST!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://thelinkring.com/Surf/AdExg.php?UID=225&amp;amp;size=A12&amp;amp;color=046215145001145" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="60" name="banners" scrolling="no" src="http://cb-top.com/cgi-bin/vp/bannerrotate.cgi?i=hakeson" width="468"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;All material herein © '2007-2012 "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"&lt;br /&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-5161238381065930519?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5161238381065930519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5161238381065930519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/04/are-yellow-pages-dead-or-just-over-hill.html' title='Are the &quot;Yellow Pages&quot; dead or just over the hill?'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-3610080475054540368</id><published>2012-01-02T08:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T07:31:26.705-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Networking--Relationship Building Requires Strategy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pSJwNvYUWeE/TWJBmNnhgZI/AAAAAAAAATQ/FzSV1w08gw8/s1600/balloons.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="138" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pSJwNvYUWeE/TWJBmNnhgZI/AAAAAAAAATQ/FzSV1w08gw8/s200/balloons.gif" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;Networking - Communications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;Relationship building takes a long term strategy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communicating with new prospects can take on a number of methods. I am calling it publishing or broadcasting because that is the fastest and most common way of attracting people to your web site or sales offers and relates to how most of the world has communicated in recent years. News and advertising has been relayed by newspapers, radio and then television.&lt;br /&gt;Today with the large percentage of people using their computers to communicate, the internet has presented yet another unique opportunity to merchandise goods and services. In total a completely new industry of advertising and loyalty building programs has been created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="85" scroll="no" scrolling="no" src="http://womvegasbanners.com/wom-vegas-banner-hosting.php?host=25685&amp;amp;host_id=2089&amp;amp;b_size=1" width="468"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publishing can come in many forms....but each in this case takes putting words together and reaching out for prospects. Internet networking is no different than ground based meetings, you bring together people individually or in groups with common interests and goals by written or published words.&lt;br /&gt;Making connections, building relationships by electronic means delivers some very unique opportunities to demonstrate your knowledge, expertise as well as "show off" your products and services. Building credibility and increasing awareness of your business is key to converting the prospects to customers and then maintaining that client base with follow-up before and after any sale.&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;nbsp;network site that deliver a number of features and encourages links and association of "friendships" is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/default.aspx?rep=91043"&gt;AdlandPro&lt;/a&gt; while free to join&amp;nbsp;it offers advanced memberships and benefits. Networking and broadcasting your products and services are not the only benefit of&amp;nbsp;networking sites, important to your overall success is the contact and exchange with others in your industry. Whether it is additional cost saving measures in production or a new advertising media just starting out, your exchange with your fellow e-commerce partners will enhance your knowledge and build your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hakeson.zeekrewards.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Own Your Own Money Tree - Click for Details" src="http://www.zeekrewards.com/images/zeekrewards_moneytree_banner125.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Start Earning Right NOW!&lt;br /&gt;Tired of Waiting on the Economy?&lt;br /&gt;Get Paid Daily! Every 24 hours!&lt;br /&gt;Earn $1000's Weekly!!&lt;br /&gt;Isn't It About Time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://hakeson.zeekrewards.com/"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Programs like these offer networking and just plain sales opportunites as you become acquainted with interested people and trade ideas and thoughts. It is just like a few years ago and a little today....going door to door displaying your wares....only now it's faster by electronic internet connections. Broadcasting your business, displaying your wares still means going to your prospects where they are...at home or in their places of business.&lt;br /&gt;Important to ground operations is location, location, location be it main street with lots of traffic or a convenient "strip mall" with quick in and out parking or the massive shopping mall with anchor stores bringing foot traffic and shoppers for your opportunity to sell them. Without foot traffic, or shoppers, in our case surfers we don't make sales and we don't make money.&lt;br /&gt;{Without expanding into it now....that is another new industry that has been created and thrashing about earning MILLIONS of dollars within the electronic industry, Search Engines.}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freesafelistmailer.com/s.php?username=hakeson&amp;amp;popup=no" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="101" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5F-lFeSL8f4/TtTC__KFxRI/AAAAAAAAATk/vnKYgUHe68c/s320/safelistlogo.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;  &lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table bgcolor="#cc0000" border="0" style="height: 135px; width: 125px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="135" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" space="0" src="http://collection-day.com/scripts/runner.php?IFRAME=1&amp;amp;GA=125" vspace="0" width="125"&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;script language="JavaScript" src="http://collection-day.com/scripts/runner.php?JS=1&amp;amp;GA=125"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.collection-day.com/pages/index.php?refid=hakeson" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;1 Million Imprs&lt;br /&gt;Many sites! $5.99&lt;br /&gt;Collection-day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; A sincere approach and purposeful demonstration of merchandise was the method for the door to door salesman attempting to make sales.  There is the same need today. Only trust and confidence is a little harder to build in this day and age, but it can and does exist over the internet. It is to build popularity (your product or service over another) and credibility...trust you will deliver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demonstrating your knowledge, sharing your information and generally just building relationships is still in vogue and when worked little by little it will build a customer base for your financial security. Only by increasing your reach and maintaining your hard earned contacts will you expand and profit from the "cost of sale".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many cases just building a solid connection and personal friendship will deliver big dividends over the long term. A successful salesperson has "bird-dogs" or people to refer them business. Your connections can be a great source of support and testimony of your honest and worthy intentions. Trust and support will build you a working data base with "friends" of "friends" to boost your business relationships....meaning sales and income!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if you never buy one thing from me, your value as a friend and possible referral will pay big dividends in financial rewards for me in the future. Other means of publishing and excellent sources of new prospects are available with once again the written and spoken words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing articles for e-zines or even publishing your own, BLOGs like this one are very popular opportunities to introduce yourself and your e-commerce wares in a more relaxed and friendly way. People are not "captured" they travel to your site or article on their own and leave as they please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just as important, they can take what they want and leave the rest on the table when they move on. Each set of communication tools need to be handled differently. Did the reader dial in, as in linking to this blog or subscribe and put their name on a list as in a newsletter? Respecting those differences are important! Do you have permission to approach them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customers can be asked to keep in contact for updates and news about the product or service they purchased by subscibing to your newsletters. New prospects can be rewarded something for free to disclose their addresses and joining your newletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newsletters will broaden your broadcasting as will Online GROUPS, a well know and massive offering is by &lt;a href="http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/promostep_leaders/join"&gt;YAHOO&lt;/a&gt; .

Just to rub shoulders with a group of internet millionaires is not enough, you need to take away knowledge and connections that you can put to immediate income advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;"It is not just you attending a conference, it is everyone you know and everyone the other participants know. A local event attracting 100 people expands out to thousands. Be prepared to take full advantage of that great opportunity. This what you paid to attend!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joint Venture Marketing, Alliances in Co-Marketing and collaboration on the Internet to make money faster and easier are given new emphasis to what is called e-commerce. Big name and big money are following online marketers across the globe. Conferences, seminars and marketing shows are the meeting place and connection point for top income players to position themselves for additional online business domination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The value of the contacts made at these events are the spawning of strategic alliances for income production that is almost unbelievable. Experienced marketing managers are teaming up with each other and "newbies" to quickly broaden their sales and income potentials with Joint Ventures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the greatest ways for new marketers to learn successful techniques and speed up their online marketing skills is joining into Joint Ventures. This enables them to start pocketing real income and gain new talents for their future e-commerce undertakings. In these joint efforts the participants can take any new or existing program, e-books, affiliate web sites and share in the marketing and profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The opportunity to partner with a major established marketing whiz depends not on their goodwill but the new persons ability to deliver to the venture additional sales power. It is the purchasers or prospects that the new partner can deliver. This gives added meaning to the axiom, 'it's in the list', nowhere does your contacts and relationships mean more than when you look to start a Joint Venture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is that list of contacts, established relationships that you can bring to the table for your alliances. &lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/05/for-ever-and-everit-list-you-buildshow.html"&gt;"It's the list you have built!"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.instantsqueezepagegenerator.com/index.php?rid=85"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318630290188131186" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sc-SEdJL23I/AAAAAAAAAKo/3r6tXGSopxQ/s200/adsupreme.jpg" style="display: block; height: 100px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/05/for-ever-and-everit-list-you-buildshow.html"&gt;Read here&lt;/a&gt; An individual contribution to a Joint Venture is the personal endorsement of the product or service you can provide to your carefully built and maintained lists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Joint Venture can be undertaken by two or more people that have non-competing and perhaps complimentary products and/or services. A very profitable arrangement can be worked out using the talents and resources of the parties. Each can provide endorsements or recommendations to the customers in their personal promotional efforts. It is this collaboration that gives entry from prospect to a proven online customer that is quicker and provides better results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason this works so well is that the partners have already established relationships with everyone on their list. Proper customer care has built a solid connection where the list owner's opinion is valued as well as the trust for delivering value. "Once the sale is made the real work begins."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attending live events allows individual personal contacts to be made. It is well worth the cost every time. In addition to the program and training provided the exposure to the connections afforded is another portion of why the attendance is so valuable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The rewards of a Joint Venture are multiple:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Increases your credibility and standing in the marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;Opens up endorsements and marketing assistance.&lt;br /&gt;Provides low cost new leads for your product or service.&lt;br /&gt;Allows saving time and money on advertising and marketing.&lt;br /&gt;It increases the opportunity for more sales and profits.&lt;br /&gt;The expansion and growth of the business is accomplished quicker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easily more can be added to this list as thinking through the profitable combining of efforts with Joint Ventures that have been proven. The Joint Venture shortens the learning period and builds practical knowledge. Not only does it enhance acceptance, build stature, credibility&lt;br /&gt;within the world of e-commerce it provides solid partner and business relationships for future endeavors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through out the process of the Joint Venture communication, trust and understanding must be cultivated. A positive outcome is foremost at all times so that the partners will be positioned for additional Joint Ventures. This type of marketing is powerful, easy to originate and very cost effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't plan on going to the next event until you have worked on the basics.&lt;br /&gt;Build your list.&lt;br /&gt;Give a Gift...get the name and e-mail address of the recipient in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2006/06/e-commerce-is-contact-sport.html"&gt;E-Commerce is a Contact Sport, the more you Contact, the more you SCORE......&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;&lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html"&gt;var sp_key = '2cndecy33x1cgkck';&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.spottt.com/js/spottt.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All material herein © 2007-2011` "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"Reprint right by permission: harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-8622702194575933971?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8622702194575933971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8622702194575933971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/05/joint-ventures-other-reason-to-attend.html' title='Joint Ventures the other reason to attend a seminar.'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sc-NV-xvzoI/AAAAAAAAAKg/v2rWUqgEIEA/s72-c/E-commerce-Tips.gif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-5083145496202125499</id><published>2011-10-10T08:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-18T13:52:26.477-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sell Web Site Building to Local Merchants</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://harveytus.easyo.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247715955101853954" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/SNOh24n-6QI/AAAAAAAAADM/ogP_o8OqEHM/s400/localbusweb.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; A real home business with complete quick start plans and total operating instructions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.easyo.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.easyo.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electronic Commerce to Expand the Smallest Business &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Internet Economy is a perfect match for even the smallest Mom and Pop Operation.Mom's "housing cleaning business" would have benefits from a web site presence. Every single or small business can afford a 24 hour 7 day a week open sign on their web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customers can place orders, pay invoices, make appointments or communicate special needs or requests. Just think customers can leave leads for additional new business for you to follow up on during your next business day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****You did remember to ask your customer for referrals at the same time you e-mailed a thank you for their business. This way when you follow up with a cross sale or up sale item you can again remind them of your appreciation of their business and need for their referral to friends and family.*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very important feature of the Internet for business is the removal of an endless number of limits. No more limited hours, no more geographic or area limits, quick time response most up to date and fresh pricing to remain competitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another definite fact of life, growing businesses are growing and expanding faster using the Internet. An Internet connected business can respond to opportunities quicker and do enjoy increased business agility. A customer online from another city is doing business with you and they really don't know if you are a in a ten story building or your basement office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The obvious benefits of Internet business such as improved customer access, enhanced response time coupled with the golden opportunity for building a solid customer relationship are more than enough reason for every business to have a web site. Providing quick and low cost customer information should help build that customer retention that is so necessary for businesses to survive today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF';var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000';var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'E6E6E6';var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'FFFF66';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '';&lt;/script&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&lt;script src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=179739&amp;amp;zs=3732385f3930" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=179739&amp;amp;afsid=1" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Your Ad Here" border="0" height="90" src="http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/adbrite-your-ad-here-leaderboard.gif" style="background-color: #ffff66; border: currentColor; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="14" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By leveraging lower overhead, time-to-market and almost instant communication provides the Internet business to be easy to do business.

A functional web site can be published in a day. In addition to improvements and updates a solid income stream could be easily build.

The real work begins to make use of the web presence and deliver profitable business from the site. Getting prospects to the web site and making use of the Internet for extending business success is the next order of the day.&lt;a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3216955-10670391" target="_top"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Domain, Unlimited Disk Space, Unlimited Data Transfer and 25% off with Yahoo!

On the Internet prospects are all around the world. The United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Australia all have ready access to the business as those who could drive up to a physical location and purchase from the store site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years the cry for a business was, &lt;strong&gt;"location, location, location"&lt;/strong&gt;. Now with the growth of the Internet the needs have changed. Joining location is the needs for &lt;strong&gt;"traffic, traffic, traffic"&lt;/strong&gt;. Without viewers, people finding and getting the exposure to the web sites delivers no sales on its own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"No matter what your business is, without traffic to your web site you might as well not exist on the Internet."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smart site on main street where the traffic was heavy and prospective customers had easy access to a merchant was demanded. The more people passing and convenient access was in high demand and commanded high property value. Over time as the towns grew every business couldn't afford the cost of a prime main street location and the development of strip malls provided for a lower location cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major shopping malls became in demand where they were anchored by large chain stores that could attract large numbers of buyers from expensive advertising. In the major shopping malls visibility became a large concern. The best locations where the most prospects passing by could command compensating rents and determined the choice of location placement for business managers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, with the advent of massive online shopping, location is now being replaced by the need for traffic clicking on merchant's web sites. Today location in search engines to drive traffic to web sites is important and better placements is to the web page's advantage for traffic. Now the need is for traffic and "clicks" to expose the products and services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether paid inclusion in search engines and directories or simply pay for click links to web sites the delivery of visitors takes huge effort. The promotional work has so many avenues to attract customers it is a whole additional topic. The next blog entry will cover some ways an individual can make additional income taking on the task of driving traffic the web sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.harveyakeson.com/earn.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click and join free&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your viewers make you money&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The business with a web site offers prestige&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and standing in the eyes of the customers. A good impression of modern business practices builds esteem. A location on the Internet provides worldwide circulation of a businesses products and services. This expanded geographical presence extends the prospect base without any additional cost.&lt;br /&gt;The most important advertising or promotion of a business web site COSTS NOTHING and is possibly the very best to bring people to the web page.&lt;br /&gt;As soon as a business web site is published the inclusion of the URL right along side the phone number is mandatory. &lt;em&gt;A business should not list a phone number without listing a web site address right along side.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newspaper ads, telephone books, business cards, physical location signage, mailings, invoices, receipts every piece of paper listing the business name and phone number need the web site address prominently included. In fact special promotional efforts should be directed just to announcing the business web site and extra service available online as a new and unique feature of the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewing expectations for the new Internet presence we know that our purpose is to build brand recognition, announce special sales, present new offerings, acquire new costumers, retain existing customers and with the additional opportunity of reaching beyond just the local area build profits and make more money for a business.&lt;br /&gt;With all the tough times in today's economy, it can be difficult to get by. Debt can add up quickly, and expenses don't seem to be getting any smaller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that doesn't have to affect you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many opportunities out there for You, and many of them are in marketing. In times like this, businesses need an edge just to stay afloat; and that's in marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But what if that edge was you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that statistically 90% of small businesses do not have a website? So anyone in the local market that searches for them will not be able to find them. These days, that is the number one reason businesses lose customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why don't they have websites? Mainly because they lack the time or expertise to set them up. That is where you come in.

What's more there is a mind-boggling range of products to sell, from a simple e-book to seats on a plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, with giant retailers, such as Amazon, attributing 40% of their $billions of sales to affiliates, there are obviously millions being made from affiliate marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sidetick.com/signup.php?signup_referer=105054"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.sidetick.com/images/banners/250x250_sidetick.gif" style="border-bottom: 1px solid; border-left: 1px solid; border-right: 1px solid; border-top: 1px solid;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how come only about 5% of people are making serious money on line?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because knowing WHERE the gold is isn't the same as knowing HOW to get at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which means all those lovely affiliate commissions are cascading into the pockets of a relatively small band of elite super affiliates, who are really laughing all the way to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And two guys who regularly figure in the top ten lists of super affiliates, by outselling most of their rivals, are Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson. Between them, they regularly generate hundreds of thousands of affiliate commissions every year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time and again they pick up bonuses and even cash prizes to gold plate their massive haul of affiliate commissions. And here's the good news ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are just releasing a brand new product, allowing you to pick their brains and copy their methods - and it won't cost you a single dime. &lt;a href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And - just because it's free - hasn't stopped them from going hog wild on this, because they've distilled all the wisdom and experience painfully acquired the hard way, through painful trial and error, and are now handing you exactly what you need to copy their success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's more - once you have their secrets - the sky really will be the limit for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because, as a successful affiliate, you can laugh off the usual limitations of product creation and customer service - because they're all done for you. So you can invest the time saved sourcing the very best, most lucrative products to sell. And here's where the WPP program hits a home run, because it gives you a simple seven step process to ensure you only get involved with the products most likely to be the easiest and most profitable sellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And maybe seven really is a lucky number, because - once you know how to evaluate the very best, most profitable products to sell, Jeremy and Simon are going to hand you your personal treasure map to locate seven gold mines that house the very best selling products for you to promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you'll save much heartache - and a king's ransom - by getting the heads up about three fatal mistakes that could well be hemorrhaging cash from under your nose, right now - if you're already selling stuff as an affiliate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they'll soon be a distant nightmare - once you know how to fix them fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF';var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000';var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF';var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you go through this program it's immediately apparent all the hard-won experience at the affiliate marketing coal face is being handed to you on a plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, there's a really smart way, yet oh-so-simple technique of unearthing those elusive products that no one else is promoting. This is truly El Dorado, because you can zoom in there and scoop up the rich profits leaving your bewildered competitors empty-handed and choking in your dust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what really separates the men from the boys in affiliate marketing is the vital art of getting your prospective buyer all fired up and eager to buy the product even before you send them to the vendors site. And here Jeremy and Simon give you four different ingenious ways to do this, in the most effective way possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you've probably heard "The money is in the list". And here's one of Jeremy's and Simon's open secrets of success, because it's well known they enjoy the fruits of owning some of the largest, most responsive lists around. And they are about to tell you how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they reveal what they have found to be the four key parts of a successful squeeze page. Miss any one of these and you'll be leaving a pile of cash on the table. But get all four working together and your squeeze pages will be sucking in prospects like a Shop Vac on steroids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And - because you can never have too large or too targeted a list - you also get six little known techniques to unleash a torrent of red-hot prospects, eager to join your list and enjoy what you have for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they even reveal a total of three amazing techniques to make your product owners want to give you extra commission, as well as actually promote your affiliate link themselves! Hard to believe, right now, I know, but I guarantee you'll enjoy a couple of "ah, ha" moments when you discover how blindingly obvious, stunningly simple and highly effective these stealth techniques are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's not just mastering how to handle your product vendors that makes this program so effective. Because you also get four mega-powerful persuasion techniques that will empower you to tickle your prospect's sweet spot, exploding the conversions to both your opt-in lists and your pre-sales pages. What's more, you also get the absolute #1 most powerful tactic of all to make any offer you make completely irresistible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you even get the inside track on how to avoid one of the biggest problems facing affiliate marketers: losing the sale because it isn't made via your affiliate link. So you'll be spellbound, as you discover just how simple it is to create a 'buying loop' that acts like a powerful electromagnet, when your prospect is ready to buy. That way you get every precious cent owing to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, here's something I've saved until almost last because it's (almost) the very best part of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know it's possible to continue to enjoy the same sort of commission arrangements as Hollywood movie stars? Well it's true! Because, much of their wealth piles up long after they've left the studio and moved on to another project. So Jeremy and Simon will show you exactly how to enjoy fat commission checks rolling in automatically, months - and even years - after you've made the actual sale!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's truly the Holy Grail of marketing - autopilot income whilst you relax and enjoy yourself. So just imagine your life, a few exciting months down the line, when you can fully exploit Jeremy and Simon's battle-hardened techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you'll be up to speed with picking the very best, effort-free highest paying programs - many on a regular repeat basis - you'll have finally broken the link between the hours you work and the money you make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, you'll have plenty of spare cash and the leisure time to take your loved ones on that vacation of a lifetime. Almost before you know it you'll be able to really relax and savor the experience of doing what you've wanted to do for years ... give your boss the pink slip and step up to join the elite super-rich affiliates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the free launch period is over, the regular price for this program will be $27, which is a very fair price for the keys to The Kingdom Of Super Affiliate Status. Yet - if you hit this link right away &lt;a href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you might still be able to snag the entire package for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" title="Free Affiliate Training"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="85" src="http://www.webprofitplans.com/banners/500x85-Red.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to start making real money with affiliate marketing then you need the “Affiliate Profit Plan”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-4811338383386541549?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/4811338383386541549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/4811338383386541549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2010/07/no-need-to-rob-banks-anymore.html' title='No need to rob banks, anymore!'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-5410846987830237207</id><published>2011-02-04T03:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T03:23:53.828-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Once the sale is made the real work begins.</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is selling or building a relationship the most important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internet allows the gathering of a sale here and there, but the development of real and useful listing of clients is yet another task. The objective should be selling a product or service online. But wait, how much did that sale or contact cost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A plan for repeat business and building a relationship for future profits is in order. Finding prospects and turning them into customers and then developing a long term client relationship will take time, but a lot less money than our original investment in the first sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many times the successful marketing professional will lay out some bait, a free offer, a special discount or some type of bonus to get that first order. Why? The successful e-market professional knows it is important to complete that first sale, get a loyalty and trust underway in order to build a new business relationship. Just as a tree grows and branches out so can the success with one new client. Future orders, recommendations and most important, additional introduced contacts for future sales is at stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;{Make a valuable marketing list right now....join this innovative list building group. &lt;strong&gt;Click here&lt;/strong&gt;}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is great to ac***ulate a long list of customers, but there is also the need for rewards to cultivate that list. A huge responsiblity is to care for the customers needs and to follow up on the sale. Additionally recording the experiences of the customers is mandated. Success is building this customer base of clients willing to give testimony to the great service and value of the products acquired. The added benefit is the clients willing to finding new customers and referring them for more business. The objective of making any list should be to build a relationship to make future meaningful contact and sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Network marketing requires building relationships and loyalty that comes only with satisfaction that a fair trade has taken place. E-commerce is the art of taking a prospect turning them into a customer and building a long term trusting relationship for mutual satisfaction and benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the sale is consummated the real work begins. Building a mailing list and maintaining the connection into a useful and loyal client is one of the things that makes the Internet such a wonderful business. Think about this fact:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the Internet we have the means of immediate and inexpensive return contacts with our customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the world of bricks and sticks too often the customer leaves the store and slips away never to be seen again. There are of course methods of retaining that priceless connection, but is it done? Or better yet, has the clerk or sales representative done the job of building a relationship?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The avenues of maintaining and building on our precious lists are varied, but in most cases, it is cheap and fast for repeat contact and additional profits online once we have established our initial contact. E-commerce affords us the opportunity&lt;br /&gt;of continued contact on each and every sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.harveyakeson.com/se.html"&gt;Sell advertising to Fortune 500's...the largest advantage is to have the &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.harveyakeson.com/se.html"&gt;traffic and advertising that you can sell....because it produces Results!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple thank you, a follow up for service , or a request for referral helps build a loyalty. A simple request for grading of our product or service builds us a step closer to that next sale. This is the base for referrals, testimonies, that are used to build credibility for future marketing and to put the client into a permanent relationship on a mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is the need to be careful with each newly acquired contact, working to enhance the trust and confidence of this never seen customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In doing this, the right to ask for more business is established. It is possible that a meaningful exchange can take place where a newly enlisted customer will want to do business again. Even before another order is requested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the sale is complete, the real sales work begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have a plan of customer retention?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free up the time you spend on repetitive tasks, allowing you more time to develop and grow your business platform (and increase profitability).&lt;br /&gt;Present a professional image and capability to your customers and visitors.&lt;br /&gt;Deliver to your target audience automatically, efficiently, and in a timely fashion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;Keep in contact with your customers the EASY way.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-5410846987830237207?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5410846987830237207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5410846987830237207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/05/once-sale-is-made-real-work-begins.html' title='Once the sale is made the real work begins.'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-9008406632892691135</id><published>2011-02-03T04:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T03:13:24.713-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FLYING with your new Internet Home Business</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson" target=_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.giftingbux.com/images/banners/halfbanner.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone has seen a lot of things online about making QUICK CASH, but this one tops it all.&lt;/b&gt;  Look now, &lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, I know what your thinking.

A promotional campaign to attract an expanding audience of interested people who are willing to join building a stream of income or use a targeted product or service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First mistake... NOT having a system of follow up marketing pointers for sales effort.&lt;br /&gt;Do not waste advertising money with a "one shot does it all" and move on without making several attempts to selling Contacts. [Here is the need for some reason for the respondent to give a follow up contact number...e-mail address.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good auto response system set to make followup contact and deliver additional informational material is needed. Closing the sale and signing up the Contact is the name of the "game". Scoring is the result of efforts and keeping score is the number of Contacts that are willing to join our team or buy our products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second mistake... NOT making every effort to understand and enlist personal contact and build a personal relationship with each contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not just, "here is the sales pitch", but a first hand account of what a contact is looking for and what and how they can build together and receive all the benefits. It is the FOLLOW UP and relationship trust and business building with contacts that make the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't always expect everyone to find what is being promoted so spectacular they are willing to spend their money at first glance. If what is being offered is truly worth the marketing efforts and the followup information to enlist the purchase will need to be advanced for each prospect many times. Listing the benefits and bonus offers for acting immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First make the Contact, develop them into a Prospect and direct them into becoming a Customer.&lt;br /&gt;Now more of the BATTLE begins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third mistake... NOT having marketing and follow up program, a winning sales agenda must be designed to build a series winning strategies to SCORE. That's the bottomline...making money, and building the income stream. In this case NEVER waste a precious newly found prospect! Time, money and effort has been spent, don't lose the sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Equally important follow up and continued contact is just as necessary as the original "sales pitch".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Autoresponder System can perform the duty of set and continued followup. The Autoresponder System will send out customized, personalized information from you directly to your customers' inboxes at pre-determined times automatically without you having to send it. All you do is create messages to send, tell the Autoresponder when you want it sent and that's it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/partner.aspx?ref=91043&amp;amp;pg=adv_t"&gt;Click Here More Important Information on Autoresponders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not losing the sale means asking for the order AGAIN and expand the need for the prospect to have the product or service being offered. Timing, opportunity, closing the contact is a talent....practice and follow up assures the best sales potentials are not lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow up by autoresponder is a PERFECT opportunity to hold CONTACTS, build up some POINTS and expand a marketing opportunity. You will be able to SHARE more information about your products and services. Follow up is great opportunity to build a relationship with new contacts and share important marketing and sales ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF';var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000';var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF';var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}&lt;/script&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1486779&amp;zs=3436385f3630&amp;ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&amp;ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript"&gt;');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1486779&amp;amp;afsid=1" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Your Ad Here" border="0" height="60" src="http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/adbrite-your-ad-here-banner.gif" style="background-color: #cccccc; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="11" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All material herein © '2006-2011 "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"&lt;br /&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-115050419785958319?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115050419785958319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115050419785958319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2006/06/e-commerce-is-contact-sport.html' title='E-Commerce, Make Contacts and Hold'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/S0wuUr4nLyI/AAAAAAAAARo/7sQ67WGuonI/s72-c/stpat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-115745493126032555</id><published>2011-01-20T04:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T03:15:22.756-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Home Profits with Web Site Building for Local Merchants</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson" target=_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.giftingbux.com/images/banners/halfbanner.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone has seen a lot of things online about making QUICK CASH, but this one tops it all.&lt;/b&gt;  Look now, &lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, I know what your thinking.

The answer is best framed in how to get started and being able to display a sampling of your services. Demonstrate what can be done and seek out the approval of one or two clients at first. In fact a way to get started might be to set your prices at some middle ground with the client paying all the start up costs and crediting your hours to a barter exchange of services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;Twenty-five to fifty dollars an hour may seem high at first but when you consider all the related payroll costs that the clients don't have to carry for services of an independent contractor, it is really dirt cheap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Offering to manage a web site and attending to an Internet presence will take a little time for the clients to see results and yet starting out to without personal profits in mind is not a fair compensation package for the labor. Setting up web sites are costing a minimum of $250 to $1000 for most professional service companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;One method of easing the financial burden of setting up a brand new web site would be to take the work "off the clock" and at the same time bargaining out a trade goods and services. Bartering an exchange for compensation of time, getting reimbursed for costs may well be a fair way of establishing a mutual acceptable arrangement.

Many wealthy people have used other people's money to become very rich. In just the simplest terms here is the path that has been followed to attain money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using "other people's money" boils down to three simple concepts in accumulating real estate wealth. (This advise was given many years ago by the great humorist, Will Rogers.}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Find out where people are going.....people make price.&lt;br /&gt;2. Get there first&lt;br /&gt;3. Buy up parcels of land&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In real estate the principle has always been:&lt;br /&gt;Location--Location--Location&lt;br /&gt;Where people will find services, transportation, necessary amenities for life, not in a swamp or environmental hazard area. These factors will provide the safest investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do the RICH GUYS do it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://79ea1ahbxb9n-p4qm-tdjjfoew.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt;Learn The Closely Guarded Secrets That 99.9% of the Other Idiots in the World Will Never Know About Making Money in Real Estate...this guy likes to call himself a Jerk, a filthy rich jerk. Check this out, Click Here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financial Leverage...The Keys to Financial Freedom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the smallest amount of money to control the largest value in a real estate investment. Take a duplex valued at $100,000. {This low figure is for demostration purposes, of course property values tend higher.} if it is purchased with 10% down, that 10% is the financial leverage used to control not the $10,000, but 10 times as much, the whole $100,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of another person's money is the borrowing of the balance, either through a contract of sale or mortgage on the property. In this example 90% of the value is on loan or using another person's money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rental Income could well pay for the property, possibly furnish some cash flow at the same time. So What! Having renters buy a property is just the smallest benefit. &lt;strong&gt;Building up equity is not the end of the story.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INFLATION&lt;/strong&gt;, and the APPRECIATION in property value provides the real wealth. Owning the property for only 10 years at the average inflation rate of 5% per year is not unrealistic. Purchasing in a good growth location will produce much more and at the end of a 10 year period check how much the property will be worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;***Be fully aware in the recent break down of the major banking structures through wild investment schemes and other factors, real estate has and can depreciate, go down in value. However over the long periods of time this is a rare, very rare incident.***&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financial Leverage, the secret to wealth, using borrowed money to control the resource, in this case real estate, while the value soars. At 5% appreciation at the end of ten years your $10,000 original investment has grown five times. The investment is now worth $150,000 plus from the value of $100,000 controlled at the time of purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big secret to financial leverage is the small original investment used to control the largest amount of value. Other benefits accrue at the same time such as cash flow and equity build up, just more frosting on the cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No puzzle, no mystery...just using money plus time...and the correct pick of investments of course. Once again we can't expect much growth in the value if the real estate is a swamp or hazard waste dump. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You could turn this example to the stock market, buying stock on loans or margins and picking companies that are fixed to grow and increase in value.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lesson is to take the smallest effort to multiply and expand your resource. In another article we can see how to use this principle on Internet applications to profit quickly and with less outlay. How to capitalize on other factors to multiple efforts and make more income. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;•Notes &amp;amp; Warning....real estate as well as the stock market have been know to take dips but over time they have always come back and increased in value. This is not giving you financial or tax advice, but a simplified explanation. Each Individual must seek professional advice for their own situation.&lt;br /&gt;•You don't have to be a tax attorney or an accountant to realize the government is subsidizing your real estate ownership by allowing certain business expenses such as taxes, insurance, mortgage interest deductions and depreciation during property ownership..&lt;br /&gt;•Warning to understand the full federal and state government tax benefits a good tax attorney or accountant is necessary. Better be safe and well informed now, than sorry later.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a rewritten article that was originally published March 2009. At that time the US Government was offering "First-time home buyers tax credits". This article is revised.

The reason for going into business is to turn talents to building an income and future financial benefits. Business ownership provides opportunity and exercising the many options for conducting business will be the key to success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laying out the benefits of a web site for any business owner should be fairly easy. Just to briefly point out a few positive aspects of an Internet presence. A web page sells 24/7 and rarely closes, it is a constant and effective promoter for any type, style or size business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A web page enables a business to enhance the breath of business connections and area. The reach of the business is extended and the Internet can automate tasks and put quick response back into customer service. There is NO lower cost method of introducing new products or additional services. The customer is immediately informed and appraised of every change.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Client building and customer loyalty is built on information of new offerings, specials, closeouts and up to date attention. Attention to the customer is always a primary need for retention and repeat business. Referrals and additional business is the result of satisfied customers. ***The Internet makes doing business easier for the customer and the cost of doing business is definitely reduced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.net/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strategy for any business needs to be lined out prior to building a web site. The purposes and accomplishments the web site is expected to provide in conduct of the business. First, of course, the Internet presence is to attract new business. Built and constructed correctly more than just new orders are possible. Selling products and services are the important first needs but are just a small part of what a web site and Internet connection will deliver.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Briefly mentioned, retaining current customers, building customer loyalty with added customer service are a natural added benefit. Factor in the additional benefits of allowing dialog and company information exchanged with immediate notifications mandates an Internet for any business. Just being first to introduce new products to a data base of customers before competing business owners points out the necessity of a Internet connection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to being a living daily resource for constant communication the content of the web site needs to be drawn. No need to say it must be kept simple. Content is why customers visit your web page so it needs to be refreshed frequently and it needs to be salted with items of interest beyond just what we have a clearance sale on this weekend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the web site you are talking to the business customer and therefore tips, latest methods or techniques and sparkling up to date information will always attract longer interest and attention. "Cross selling and up selling" are presented in a more positive manner with verbal picture painted at the same time special offerings are advertised. Words are good and can be designed to not only present offers but encourage action and present order forms to finalize the sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/partner.asp?ref=91043&amp;amp;pg=adv_d"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAKE your web site viewable....where advertising doesn't cost, but Really Pays!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All material herein © '2007-2012' "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"&lt;br /&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-115551790131089860?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115551790131089860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115551790131089860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2006/08/start-web-site-management-business.html' title='Start a web site management business.

The United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Australia all have ready access to the business as those who could drive up to a physical location and purchase from the store site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years the cry for a business was, "location, location, location". Now with the growth of the Internet the needs have changed. Joining location is the needs for "traffic, traffic, traffic". Without viewers, people finding and getting the exposure to the web sites delivers no sales on its own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;"No matter what your business is, without traffic to your web site you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;might as well not exist on the Internet."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smart site on main street where the traffic was heavy and prospective customers had easy access to a merchant was demanded. The more people passing and convenient access was in high demand and commanded high property value. Over time as the towns grew every business couldn't afford the cost of a prime main street location and the development of strip malls provided for a lower location cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major shopping malls became in demand where they were anchored by large chain stores that could attract large numbers of buyers from expensive advertising. In the major shopping malls visibility became a large concern. The best locations where the most prospects passing by could command compensating rents and determined the choice of location placement for business managers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, with the advent of massive online shopping, location is now being replaced by the need for traffic clicking on merchant's web sites. Today location in search engines to drive traffic to web sites is important and better placements is to the web page's advantage for traffic. Now the need is for traffic and "clicks" to expose the products and services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether paid inclusion in search engines and directories or simply pay for click links to web sites the delivery of visitors takes huge effort. The promotional work has so many avenues to attract customers it is a whole additional topic. The next blog entry will cover some way an individual can make additional income taking on the task of driving traffic the web sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;The most important advertising or promotion of a business web site costs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;NOTHING and is possibly the very best to bring people to the web page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as a business web site is published the inclusion of the URL right along side the phone number is mandatory. A business should not list a phone number without listing a web site address right along side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newspaper ads, telephone books, business cards, physical location signage, mailings, invoices, receipts every piece of paper listing the business name and phone number need the web site address prominently included. In fact special promotional efforts should be directed just to announcing the business web site and extra service available online as a new and unique feature of the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewing expectations for the new Internet presence we know that our purpose is to build brand recognition, announce special sales, present new offerings, acquire new costumers, retain existing customers and with the additional opportunity of reaching beyond just the local area build profits and make more money for a business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exciting, interesting and enjoyable work of turning the web site into additional income and profits for a business is coming....mark your computer's "Favorites" to our blog page now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=268906"&gt;&lt;img border="1" height="100" src="http://www.linkreferral.com/images/linkreferal/linkhalfbanner.gif" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/partner.asp?ref=91043&amp;amp;pg=mbs"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="60" src="http://www.adlandpro.com/Resources/adlandgold1.gif" width="468" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://thelinkring.com/Surf/AdExg.php?UID=225&amp;amp;size=A12&amp;amp;color=046215145001145" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All material herein © '2006-2011 "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"&lt;br /&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-116519910701395981?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/116519910701395981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/116519910701395981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2006/12/e-commerce-is-contact-sport.html' title='E-Commerce is a Contact Sport'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-5060251854151732544</id><published>2010-12-29T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T03:29:55.580-07:00</updated><title type='text'>E-Commerce is a Contact Sport No Hits, No Results</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;"&gt;E-Commerce is a Contact Sport, the more you Contact, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the more you Score!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting up the web site for a business is really the easy task.

The Internet allows the gathering of a sale here and there, but the development of real and useful listing of clients is yet another task. The objective should be selling a product or service online. But wait, how much did that sale or contact cost? A plan for repeat business and building a relationship for future profits is in order. Finding prospects and turning them into customers and then developing a long term client relationship will take time, but a lot less money than our original investment in the first sale. &lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2008/09/made-contact-now-real-work-begins.html"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.adlandpro.com/images/adrek_a.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/" target="_top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get linked from 16000 + sites FREE with one click.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;FREE BONUS for visiting this site!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;Subscription to Web Site Magazine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;amp;f=b_120x60_3_red" target="_blank" title="Website Magazine"&gt;&lt;img alt="Website Magazine" border="0" src="http://static.websitemagazine.com/images/banners/b_120x60_3_red.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dirt Cheap Set Up Online Business of Your Own&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yourfreeworld.com/script/linkexchange.php?id=531"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.yourfreeworld.com/script/linkbanner.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-5060251854151732544?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5060251854151732544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5060251854151732544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2008/10/e-commerce-is-contact-sport-no-hits-no_22.html' title='E-Commerce is a Contact Sport No Hits, No Results'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-2751377962180979297</id><published>2010-12-21T10:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T03:19:52.838-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Only if I could get traffic.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson" target=_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.giftingbux.com/images/banners/halfbanner.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone has seen a lot of things online about making QUICK CASH, but this one tops it all.&lt;/b&gt;  Look now, &lt;a href="http://www.giftingbux.com/index.php?referid=hakeson"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, I know what your thinking.

Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=4&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Click Here to Watch the FREE Blogging Video Tutorials" src="http://www.becomeablogger.com/images/banners/becomeblogger-234x60.gif" width="234" height="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=4&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/roadmap/"&gt;FREE: Discover The Time Tested And Proven Roadmap To Blogging Success…&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Top 10 Tips&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles.&lt;/strong&gt; A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Write one new blog post per day minimum.&lt;/strong&gt; Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;You don''t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Use a proper domain name.&lt;/strong&gt; If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that''s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Start commenting on other blogs.&lt;/strong&gt; Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts.&lt;/strong&gt; A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger''s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it''s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Encourage comments on your own blog.&lt;/strong&gt; One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival.&lt;/strong&gt; A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers. &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;blogcarnival.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Submit your blog to &lt;a href="http://www.blogtopsites.com/"&gt;blogtopsites.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it''s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it''s worth the effort. Go to &lt;a href="http://www.blogtopsites.com/"&gt;Blog Top Sites&lt;/a&gt;, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com.&lt;/strong&gt; This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it''s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to &lt;a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/"&gt;Ezine Articles&lt;/a&gt;. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Write more pillar articles.&lt;/strong&gt; Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it''s certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article was by Yaro Starak, a professional blogger and my blog mentor.

What's more there is a mind-boggling range of products to sell, from a simple e-book to seats on a plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, with giant retailers, such as Amazon, attributing 40% of their $billions of sales to affiliates, there are obviously millions being made from affiliate marketing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So how come only about 5% of people are making serious money on line?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because knowing WHERE the gold is isn't the same as knowing HOW to get at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which means all those lovely affiliate commissions are cascading into the pockets of a relatively small band of elite super affiliates, who are really laughing all the way to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And two guys who regularly figure in the top ten lists of super affiliates, by outselling most of their rivals, are Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson. Between them, they regularly generate hundreds of thousands of affiliate commissions every year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time and again they pick up bonuses and even cash prizes to gold plate their massive haul of affiliate commissions. &lt;strong&gt;And here's the good news ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are just releasing a brand new product, allowing you to pick their brains and copy their methods - and it won't cost you a single dime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smart people click here!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And - just because it's free - hasn't stopped them from going hog wild on this, because they've distilled all the wisdom and experience painfully acquired the hard way, through painful trial and error, and are now handing you exactly what you need to copy their success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's more - once you have their secrets - the sky really will be the limit for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because, as a successful affiliate,  you can laugh off the usual limitations of product creation and customer service - because they're all done for you. So you can invest the time saved sourcing the very best, most lucrative products to sell. And here's where the WPP program hits a home run, because it gives you a simple seven step process to ensure you only get involved with the products most likely to be the easiest and most profitable sellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And maybe seven really is a lucky number, because - once you know how to evaluate the very best, most profitable products to sell, Jeremy and Simon are going to hand you your personal treasure map to locate seven gold mines that house the very best selling products for you to promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you'll save much heartache - and a king's ransom - by getting the heads up about three fatal mistakes that could well be hemorrhaging cash from under your nose, right now - if you're already selling stuff as an affiliate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they'll soon be a distant nightmare - once you know how to fix them fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you go through this program it's immediately apparent all the hard-won experience at the affiliate marketing coal face is being handed to you on a plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, there's a really smart way, yet oh-so-simple technique of unearthing those elusive products that no one else is promoting. This is truly El Dorado, because you can zoom in there and scoop up the rich profits leaving your bewildered competitors empty-handed and choking in your dust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what really separates the men from the boys in affiliate marketing is the vital art of getting your prospective buyer all fired up and eager to buy the product even before you send them to the vendors site. And here Jeremy and Simon give you four different ingenious ways to do this, in the most effective way possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you've probably heard "The money is in the list". And here's one of Jeremy's and Simon's open secrets of success, because it's well known they enjoy the fruits of owning some of the largest, most responsive lists around. And they are about to tell you &lt;strong&gt;how to do it&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they reveal what they have found to be the four key parts of a successful squeeze page. Miss any one of these and you'll be leaving a pile of cash on the table. But get all four working together and your squeeze pages will be sucking in prospects like a Shop Vac on steroids. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And - because you can never have too large or too targeted a list - you also get six little known techniques to unleash a torrent of red-hot prospects, eager to join your list and enjoy what you have for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they even reveal a total of three amazing techniques to make your product owners want to give you extra commission, as well as actually promote your affiliate link themselves! Hard to believe, right now, I know, but I guarantee you'll enjoy a couple of "ah, ha" moments when you discover how blindingly obvious, stunningly simple and highly effective these stealth techniques are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's not just mastering how to handle your product vendors that makes this program so effective. Because you also get four mega-powerful persuasion techniques that will empower you to tickle your prospect's sweet spot, exploding the conversions to both your opt-in lists and your pre-sales pages. What's more, you also get the absolute #1 most powerful tactic of all to make any offer you make completely irresistible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you even get the inside track on how to avoid one of the biggest problems facing affiliate marketers: losing the sale because it isn't made via your affiliate link. So you'll be spellbound, as you discover just how simple it is to create a 'buying loop' that acts like a powerful electromagnet, when your prospect is ready to buy. That way you get every precious cent owing to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, here's something I've saved until almost last because it's (almost) the very best part of this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know it's possible to continue to enjoy the same sort of commission arrangements as Hollywood movie stars? Well it's true! Because, much of their wealth piles up long after they've left the studio and moved on to another project. So Jeremy and Simon will show you exactly how to &lt;strong&gt;enjoy fat commission checks&lt;/strong&gt; rolling in automatically, months - and even years - after you've made the actual sale!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's truly the Holy Grail of marketing - autopilot income whilst you relax and enjoy yourself. So just imagine your life, a few exciting months down the line, when you can fully exploit Jeremy and Simon's battle-hardened techniques. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you'll be up to speed with picking the very best, effort-free highest paying programs - many on a regular repeat basis - you'll have finally broken the link between the hours you work and the money you make. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, you'll have plenty of spare cash and the leisure time to take your loved ones on that vacation of a lifetime. Almost before you know it you'll be able to really relax and savor the experience of doing what you've wanted to do for years ... give your boss the pink slip and step up to join the elite super-rich affiliates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the free launch period is over, the regular price for this program will be $27, which is a very fair price for the keys to The Kingdom Of Super Affiliate Status. Yet - if you hit this link right away &lt;a href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net"&gt;{&lt;strong&gt;Second Opportunity-Click Here&lt;/strong&gt;}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you might still be able to snag the entire package &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Free Affiliate Training" target="_blank" href="http://harveytus.wppms.hop.clickbank.net"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.webprofitplans.com/banners/WebProfitPlans-Banner300x250.jpg" width="300" height="250"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://80b157of56bqxr5x8e1dh948eb.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What would an extra $2,500 a month do for you right now?

The real work begins to make use of the web presence and deliver profitable business from the site. Getting prospects to the web site and making use of the Internet for extending business success is the next order of the day. The web page and the Internet has the unique ability to handle prospects not only 24 hours a day, seven days a week but can effectively sell and take orders from a mass number of customers at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Internet prospects are all around the world. The United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Australia all have ready access to the business as those who could drive up to a physical location and purchase from the store site. Over the years the cry for a business was, "location, location, location". Now with the growth of the Internet the needs have changed. Joining location is the needs for "traffic, traffic, traffic". Without viewers, people finding and getting the exposure to the web sites delivers no sales on its own. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way to go....GOT Safelist&lt;br /&gt;Turn a simple e-mailing into traffic!&lt;br /&gt;...results from your written words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gotsafelist.com/user/7342"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://gotsafelist.com/images/promo/supersized_banner.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"No matter what your business is, without traffic to your web site you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;might as well not exist on the Internet." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A smart site on main street where the traffic was heavy and prospective customers had easy access to a merchant was demanded. The more people passing and convenient access was in high demand and commanded high property value. Over time as the towns grew every business couldn't afford the cost of a prime main street location and the development of strip malls provided for a lower location cost. Major shopping malls became in demand where they were anchored by large chain stores that could attract large numbers of buyers from expensive advertising. In the major shopping malls visibility became a large concern. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best locations where the most prospects passing by could command compensating rents and determined the choice of location placement for business managers. Today, with the advent of massive online shopping, location is now being replaced by the need for traffic clicking on merchant's web sites. Today location in search engines to drive traffic to web sites is important and better placements is to the web page's advantage for traffic. Now the need is for traffic and "clicks" to expose the products and services. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.topsafelist.net/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=hakeson"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.topsafelist.net/showme.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.topsafelist.net/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=hakeson"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Topsafelist.net Promote Free Methods&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether paid inclusion in search engines and directories or simply pay for click links to web sites the delivery of visitors takes huge effort.

It is those marketing relationships that will explode your business and guide you to increasing your income online.&lt;br /&gt;It does not matter what business or online activity you are engaged, your best marketing and most attentive audience will be with the people you have build solid relationships and satisfactory business dealings.&lt;br /&gt;Just as every profitable business require customer and client referrals to build, and just as every sales person needs "birddogs" or people pointing to their wares, so do you need, if you are to succeed with your e-commerce business the connections of lots of effective bridges to others.&lt;br /&gt;Enlisting business partners or buyers is a crucial part of running your business. In business and professions it is often called "networking", online I perfer to think of it as relationship marketing. You can only increase the effectiveness of your programs and projects by having a "built in" market for your efforts. Networking gives you connections, relationship marketing builds you ready customers and affiliates to continue your marketing enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;Joint ventures for solid, detailed business operations and projects are more of a contractual relationship. Marketing relationships are built on trust with past confidence and success. Succeeding with building your data base with contacts and filling your portfolio or storage folder with solid marketing relations will translate into higher profits.&lt;br /&gt;Take care of those marketing relationships, continue to build networking connections and keep your birddogs full of thanks and rewards...this will keep your bank account bursting with deposits.&lt;br /&gt;Network marketing REALLY is - relationships, mentoring, target marketing.

Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be frank; you want to be the expert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven't established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it's easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc� experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Bloggers Are Reporters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it's a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't Replicate Your Teacher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a �guru� (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it's next to impossible to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it's fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It's a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let's face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the key is to become an expert and you haven't spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Report on Your Process, Not Others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people's work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it's fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there's. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don't regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expertise comes from doing things most people don't do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Are Already An Expert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don't leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of�well fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven't much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporting Is A Stepping Stone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from �scratch�, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it's okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that's all most experts really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This article was by Yaro Starak, a professional blogger and my blog mentor.

Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=4&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Click Here to Watch the FREE Blogging Video Tutorials" src="http://www.becomeablogger.com/images/banners/becomeblogger-468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ll be frank; &lt;strong&gt;you want to be the expert.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases &lt;strong&gt;simply make more money and attract more attention.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most Bloggers Are Reporters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t Replicate Your Teacher&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script id="jstag" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://banner-d.oddcast.com/banners/id/164/aff=94461&amp;amp;pr=9789&amp;amp;w=180&amp;amp;h=150?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oddcast.com%2Faffiliates%2Fentry%2F%3FbannerId%3D164%26affiliateId%3D94461%26promotionId%3D9789%26link%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.sitepal.com&amp;amp;colorHex=00FFFF&amp;amp;audioType=4&amp;amp;text=Make+Money+Sell+Attention+Drawing+Speakers&amp;amp;aniLimit=0&amp;amp;newPage=1speaks=8&amp;amp;xt=swf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Report on Your Process, Not Others&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You Are Already An Expert&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reporting Is A Stepping Stone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article was by Yaro Starak, a professional blogger and my blog mentor.

The local businesses that get out front and build a web site will see their income soar and costs decrease to connect their business. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;To mention just a few of the needs for a web site:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Marketing Campaigns&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Instant Pricing Changes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Knocking down area barriers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Lower Communication Costs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Customer Retention&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ Valuable Extension of Business &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;+ 24/7 Saves Labor Costs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once again these are just a few of the reasons to present a case to a local merchant for the need and the value of a Internet web site. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier an article pointed out the many avenues to promote a business web site right along with the normal course of business activity at NO COST. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today having a business without a web site is like starting a business without a phone, it won't succeed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Every tool of communication is mandated and cost must be factored into the mix. The answer of course is building the web site as soon as possible for every business and expanding into this additional avenue of conducting business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally another article a list of promotions to build traffic to the web site and short discussion of &lt;strong&gt;Search Engines&lt;/strong&gt; was outlined&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;for exposing a web site.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;The benefits to working a web site's presence across the Internet and at the same time expanding services for additional monthly income for the web site manager was covered. One to two hours a week promoting and building traffic to a web site will increase income and enhance the value of having a web site for the business and repay the cost. A web site needs to be fresh, content rich and easy to maneuver for the customer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Store promotions will come in many ways and available at different times, seasonal or tie-ins with national campaigns will provide extra work. Importantly they all can be handled in a few extra hours a month and extra income. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brand building with banner ads placed around the web will be another excercise for earning money and drawing attention to the local business, the web site and creating more business. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Experience and growth of local web sites will find options for purchasing and bartering banner displays between merchants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buying banner impressions is the easy part, the profitable and &lt;em&gt;savvy cost effective way will be to exchange banner space on other local merchant web sites. &lt;/em&gt;Controlling and building several web sites in a local area adds even more potential for income. Exchanging small amounts of space between web sites not only makes sense but allows mutual optimization of the Internet presence for everyone. Just as for any exchange club or networking group keep the linked businesses compatible but not competitive so will the web site managers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Banners can be designed as part of a home web site managing activity or subcontracted to another professional, either way the various sizes and shapes need to be exploited for different circumstances and placement. The need will be to maintain the theme and color scheme to present the best opportunity for brand building and business name recognition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;All material herein © 2006-2010 "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling".&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;form method="post" action="http://groups.msn.com/harveyakeson/_joinpromote.msnw"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!-- Begin PayPal Logo --&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=K9AXEE39PAG3L" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- End PayPal Logo --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-115681753527743473?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115681753527743473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/115681753527743473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2006/08/growing-multiple-tasks-into-residual.html' title='Growing Multiple Tasks into Residual Income from each Web Site'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-7796262176758475115</id><published>2010-01-17T11:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T07:13:22.960-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Home Computer Incomes</title><content type='html'>&lt;span xmlns=""&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Working with Local Businesses Equals Big Profits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Today, more and more people are doing everything from researching a great vacation, to paying their bills and even to buying their groceries on the Internet. In this day and age if you have a brick and mortar business and do not make use of the internet to market yourself, you are at a huge disadvantage. Surprisingly though, almost 95% of all off-line business owners are not on line, and most of those don't have a clue about the internet or how to use it to their advantage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;This is great news for Internet Marketers. If you are in the Internet Marketing business or have wanted to break into it, now is the time. If you are ready to cash in on enormous profits, you need to look no further than the small business owner s in your local community. Quite surprisingly this is an untapped market that is just starting to be discovered. There are a variety of ways that you can help the local business owner to become known on the Internet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;First and foremost you will want to build them a website that will be SEO (Search Engine) optimized. It will be important for the business owner to have a high search ranking for those searching for local businesses. On the website you should make sure there is an opt in page to collect data from potential customers. Starting and maintaining a blog on the business's website can also be very beneficial, just make sure you keep the blog running with useful information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Blogging is the up and coming way to advertise and you will not want the small business owner to miss out on any opportunities. Having audio and video clips on the website can also attract new customers. Besides the website, there are also some other key things you can do to help the off line business owner. First, you will want to make sure that the business owner is listed on the internet yellow page websites. Second, you will want to get them registered with Google Local. Third, you can also work with the business owner to come up with coupons to lure in new and returning customers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;There are a variety of coupon sites that you can post these on. It is easy to see that the off line business owner could see a huge spike in their business if they were to tap into the internet market. Most brick and mortar business owners however, have no idea where to begin and yet they would love to have the edge on their competitors. So, if you are an internet marketer or looking to become one, now is the time to take action. Your fortune could very well be waiting for you.

The real work begins to make use of the web presence and deliver profitable business from the site. Getting prospects to the web site and making use of the Internet for extending business success is the next order of the day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;The web page and the Internet has the unique ability to handle prospects not only 24 hours a day, seven days a week but can effectively sell and take orders from a mass number of customers at the same time. On the Internet prospects are all around the world. The United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Australia all have ready access to the business as those who could drive up to a physical location and purchase from the store site. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;Over the years the cry for a business was, &lt;strong&gt;"location, location, location"&lt;/strong&gt;. Now with the growth of the Internet the needs have changed. Joining location is the needs for &lt;strong&gt;"traffic, traffic, traffic"&lt;/strong&gt;. Without viewers, people finding and getting the exposure to the web sites delivers no sales on its own. &lt;strong&gt;"No matter what your business is, without traffic to your web site you might as well not exist on the Internet." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;A smart site on main street where the traffic was heavy and prospective customers had easy access to a merchant was demanded. The more people passing and convenient access was in high demand and commanded high property value. Over time as the towns grew every business couldn't afford the cost of a prime main street location and the development of strip malls provided for a lower location cost. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;Major shopping malls became in demand where they were anchored by large chain stores that could attract large numbers of buyers from expensive advertising. In the major shopping malls visibility became a large concern. The best locations where the most prospects passing by could command compensating rents and determined the choice of location placement for business managers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;Today, with the advent of massive online shopping, location is now being replaced by the need for traffic clicking on merchant's web sites. Today location in search engines to drive traffic to web sites is important and better placements is to the web page's advantage for traffic. Now the need is for traffic and "clicks" to expose the products and services. Whether paid inclusion in search engines and directories or simply pay for click links to web sites the delivery of visitors takes huge effort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3188779-10365958" target="_top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Trusted by over 7 million customers!" src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3188779-10365958" width="468" height="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span xmlns=""&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The business with a web site offers prestige&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; and standing in the eyes of the customers. A good impression of modern business practices builds esteem. A location on the Internet provides worldwide circulation of a businesses products and services. This expanded geographical presence extends the prospect base without any additional cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;The most important advertising or promotion of a business web site COSTS NOTHING and is possibly the very best to bring people to the web page. As soon as a business web site is published the inclusion of the URL right along side the phone number is mandatory. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A business should not list a phone number without listing a web site address right along side. &lt;/em&gt;Newspaper ads, telephone books, business cards, physical location signage, mailings, invoices, receipts every piece of paper listing the business name and phone number need the web site address prominently included. In fact special promotional efforts should be directed just to announcing the business web site and extra service available online as a new and unique feature of the business. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;Reviewing expectations for the new Internet presence we know that our purpose is to build brand recognition, announce special sales, present new offerings, acquire new costumers, retain existing customers and with the additional opportunity of reaching beyond just the local area build profits and make more money for a business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;With all the tough times in today's economy, it can be difficult to get by. Debt can add up quickly, and expenses don't seem to be getting any smaller. But that doesn't have to affect you. There are so many opportunities out there for You, and many of them are in marketing. In times like this, businesses need an edge just to stay afloat; and that's in marketing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But what if that edge was you? &lt;/strong&gt;Did you know that statistically 90% of small businesses do not have a website? So anyone in the local market that searches for them will not be able to find them. These days, that is the number one reason businesses lose customers. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why don't they have websites? Mainly because they lack the time or expertise to set them up. That is where you come in. You offer them that service, at a cost of course. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:black;"&gt;Now, you may be thinking "How would I do this?"

The objective should be selling a product or service online. But wait, how much did that sale or contact cost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A plan for repeat business and building a relationship for future profits is in order. Finding prospects and turning them into customers and then developing a long term client relationship will take time, but a lot less money than our original investment in the first sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many times the successful marketing professional will lay out some bait, a free offer, a special discount or some type of bonus to get that first order. Why? The successful e-market professional knows it is important to complete that first sale, get a loyalty and trust underway in order to build a new business relationship. Just as a tree grows and branches out so can the success with one new client. Future orders, recommendations and most important, additional introduced contacts for future sales is at stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is great to accumulate a long list of customers, but there is also the need for rewards to cultivate that list. A huge responsiblity is to care for the customers needs and to follow up on the sale. Additionally recording the experiences of the customers is mandated. Success is building this customer base of clients willing to give testimony to the great service and value of the products acquired. The added benefit is the clients willing to finding new customers and referring them for more business. The objective of making any list should be to build a relationship to make future meaningful contact and sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Network marketing requires building relationships and loyalty that comes only with satisfaction that a fair trade has taken place. E-commerce is the art of taking a prospect turning them into a customer and building a long term trusting relationship for mutual satisfaction and benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the sale is consummated the real work begins. Building a mailing list and maintaining the connection into a useful and loyal client is one of the things that makes the Internet such a wonderful business. Think about this fact:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the Internet we have the means of immediate and inexpensive return contacts with our customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the world of bricks and sticks too often the customer leaves the store and slips away never to be seen again. There are of course methods of retaining that priceless connection, but is it done? Or better yet, has the clerk or sales representative done the job of building a relationship?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The avenues of maintaining and building on our precious lists are varied, but in most cases, it is cheap and fast for repeat contact and additional profits online once we have established our initial contact. E-commerce affords us the opportunity of continued contact on each and every sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wordlinx.com/index.php?r=1606"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="WordLinx - Get Paid To Click" src="http://www.wordlinx.com/banners/234x60_1.gif" width="234" height="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple thank you, a follow up for service , or a request for referral helps build a loyalty. A simple request for grading of our product or service builds us a step closer to that next sale. This is the base for referrals, testimonies, that are used to build credibility for future marketing and to put the client into a permanent relationship on a mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is the need to be careful with each newly acquired contact, working to enhance the trust and confidence of this never seen customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In doing this, the right to ask for more business is established. It is possible that a meaningful exchange can take place where a newly enlisted customer will want to do business again. Even before another order is requested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the sale is complete, the real sales work begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line: It is more cost effective to retain customers than to acquire them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time to build plan of customer retention&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;You will need traffic to your web sites. One of the best ways is to find a traffic exchange where you can Buy or Earn traffic to your sales pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://trafficex.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.adlandpro.com/Resources/adlte2.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Get Linked from thousands of Classifieds for FREE with one click."&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Autoresponder System&lt;/strong&gt; The Autoresponder System will send out customized, personalized information from you directly to your customers' inboxes at pre-determined times automatically without you having to send it. All you do is create messages to send, tell the Autoresponder when you want it sent and that's it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to collect your prospects and follow up with timely offers, you worked to hard to find the prospects hold on to them. &lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;Check this out....it is all made up for you!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff0000;"&gt;ADLANDPRO Auto Responder Sales Letter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;You're Losing Sales Right NOW!Over 64% of your prospects will never buy from you the first time they are presented with your offer. On the web, it's even worse. Again, let's go back to those two big secrets mentioned earlier... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;First, you only have a few precious seconds to get your customer's attention and close the sale -- if not, many will leave your site at the simple click of a mouse never to return again, no matter how effective your website is! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The underlying benefit of the web is that it can deliver information really fast. "People want it and they want it now!". But if you fail to capitalize on this intrinsic behaviour, not only are you losing potential sales but you may be working ten times harder to generate just a few simple sales to keep your business afloat!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Wouldn't you love to increase your sales 400%? Better yet, wouldn't you love to quadruple your sales for free? Adlandpro autoresponders are the key to skyrocketing your sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Here's how to use them to maximum advantage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;1. Offer something free: &lt;&gt; An Online Course &lt;&gt; A Report &lt;&gt; Software &lt;&gt; Ebook Anything that would get your prospect in the "buying mood." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;2. Have them leave their email address for your "Awesome New Freebie." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;3. Set up a follow up series on auto responder of at least 7 to ten emails. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The first letter should be set to go out immediately. The next 6 letters should be set at least 24 hour apart. Your follow up letters should stress the benefits of your offer. Features don't make sales, benefits do. Your first follow up letter should be a get acquainted email. Thank your prospect for requesting you software, ebook or report. This is the time to introduce yourself and let them know who you are and how to contact you. It's also important to have a bonus for prompt response. You have to create an urgent reason for them to act now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;In your second letter it's important to keep stressing the bonus for prompt response. You should also give more details on the benefits of your program. Most sales are lost because marketers don't give the reader enough information to give their program an accurate evaluation. You're like a skilled prosecutor. You're building your case with every letter. Your list of benefits are your evidence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The third letter is the time to tell your story. Here's where you stress how the program has helped you. Let the reader know all the benefits you've received from the program. Also remind them of the prompt response bonus. Make sure you stress that you'll be there to help them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Many of your contacts will be new to marketing and need to know you're serious about helping them.If you're an experienced marketer, remember how it was when you started. Wouldn't it have saved you time and money to have someone help you smooth the ride up the hill? Ah it's day four and your fourth letter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now's the time to start adding more bonuses. Now they have two bonuses for a prompt response. Each letter is like a high stakes poker game. You keep upping the ante. Uh Oh! They haven't signed up yet. Are you wondering why? Maybe now's the time to ask. Your fifth letter is where you ask them why they haven't signed up for your program. It's also a good time to add a few testimonials. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;You need feedback to help you understand why they aren't taking advantage of your offer. The feedback you receive should help you increase your conversion rate. Offer the reader an incentive to answer your questions. 72 hours and they still haven't signed up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Website Magazine" href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;amp;f=b_120x60_2_blue" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The sixth letter should supply more testimonials. Ask them to contact other members of your program. Network marketers call this the tag team approach. Offline they've been using this for years. They've found through trial and error that their sign up rate increases when two members of a program sit down with a prospect. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Well it's day seven and this is your last chance. If you don't make your case now, good-bye! Don't hold back. You must make your offer "Simply Irresistible." Pile on the benefits, add more bonuses. Make it an "Offer They Can't Refuse." You've stated your case. You've piled on the benefits. You've kept adding to the bonuses. Wow! You're going to sell every visitor. Well not quite, but if you take the time to put some time and effort into putting your system and letters in place, you should see your sales and conversion rates start steadily increasing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Some marketers have reported that this simple system has increased their sales by over 400%! Spend a little time. I think you'll find yourself being rewarded handsomely. Even better yet, if you're a network marketer, you've just created an easily duplicable system to share with your downline. Imagine if you increased the results of every member of your downline 400%. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;We have the tools for you to do this, it is your call now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Click here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;All material herein © '2007-2010' "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling" Reprint right by permission: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;FREE BONUS for visiting this site!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Subscription to Web Site Magazine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Website Magazine" href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;amp;f=b_120x60_3_red" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Website Magazine" src="http://static.websitemagazine.com/images/banners/b_120x60_3_red.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Absolutely FREE Tap the best minds in the Web community Real people, real questions, real answers Practical information for running a successful websiteWeb Design ideas...

Go direct to their page,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;click here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 64% of your prospects will never buy from you the first time they are presented with your offer. On the web, it's even worse. Again, let's go back to those two big secrets mentioned earlier...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you only have a few precious seconds to get your customer's attention and close the sale -- if not, many will leave your site at the simple click of a mouse never to return again, no matter how effective your website is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The underlying benefit of the web is that it can deliver information really fast. "People want it and they want it now!". But if you fail to capitalize on this intrinsic behaviour, not only are you losing potential sales but you may be working ten times harder to generate just a few simple sales to keep your business afloat!Wouldn't you love to increase your sales 400%? Better yet, wouldn't you love to quadruple your sales for free?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adlandpro autoresponders are the key to skyrocketing your sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how to use them to maximum advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Offer something free: &lt;&gt; An Online Course &lt;&gt; A Report &lt;&gt; Software &lt;&gt; Ebook Anything that would get your prospect in the "buying mood."&lt;br /&gt;2. Have them leave their email address for your "Awesome New Freebie."&lt;br /&gt;3. Set up a follow up series on auto responder of at least 7 to ten emails. The first letter should be set to go out immediately. The next 6 letters should be set at least 24 hour apart.&lt;br /&gt;Your follow up letters should stress the benefits of your offer. Features don't make sales, benefits do. Your first follow up letter should be a get acquainted email. Thank your prospect for requesting you software, ebook or report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the time to introduce yourself and let them know who you are and how to contact you. It's also important to have a bonus for prompt response. You have to create an urgent reason for them to act now. In your second letter it's important to keep stressing the bonus for prompt response. You should also give more details on the benefits of your program. Most sales are lost because marketers don't give the reader enough information to give their program an accurate evaluation. You're like a skilled prosecutor. You're building your case with every letter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Website Magazine" href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;amp;f=b_120x60_2_blue" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Website Magazine" src="http://static.websitemagazine.com/images/banners/b_120x60_2_blue.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;FREE by Postal or E-mail....keep up with the latest news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your list of benefits are your evidence. The third letter is the time to tell your story. Here's where you stress how the program has helped you. Let the reader know all the benefits you've received from the program. Also remind them of the prompt response bonus. Make sure you stress that you'll be there to help them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?2110512"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid" src="http://www.clixsense.com/Ad/clixbanner1.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of your contacts will be new to marketing and need to know you're serious about helping them.If you're an experienced marketer, remember how it was when you started. Wouldn't it have saved you time and money to have someone help you smooth the ride up the hill? Ah it's day four and your fourth letter. Now's the time to start adding more bonuses. Now they have two bonuses for a prompt response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each letter is like a high stakes poker game. You keep upping the ante. Uh Oh! They haven't signed up yet. Are you wondering why? Maybe now's the time to ask. Your fifth letter is where you ask them why they haven't signed up for your program. It's also a good time to add a few testimonials. You need feedback to help you understand why they aren't taking advantage of your offer. The feedback you receive should help you increase your conversion rate. Offer the reader an incentive to answer you questions. 72 hours and they still haven't signed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sixth letter should supply more testimonials. Ask them to contact other members of your program. Network marketers call this the tag team approach. Offline they've been using this for years. They've found through trial and error that their sign up rate increases when two members of a program sit down with a prospect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it's day seven and this is your last chance. If you don't make your case now, good-bye! Don't hold back. You must make your offer "Simply Irresistible." Pile on the benefits, add more bonuses. Make it an "Offer They Can't Refuse." You've stated your case. You've piled on the benefits. You've kept adding to the bonuses. Wow! You're going to sell every visitor. Well not quite, but if you take the time to put some time and effort into putting your system and letters in place, you should see your sales and conversion rates start steadily increasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some marketers have reported that this simple system has increased their sales by over 400%! Spend a little time. I think you'll find yourself being rewarded handsomely. Even better yet, if you're a network marketer, you've just created an easily duplicable system to share with your downline. Imagine if you increased the results of every member of your downline 400%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waste no more time, &lt;a href="http://responders.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt;go find that auto sales builder right now.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tw sites that will help your business.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D the two newest Internet "climbrs". &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free and Benefit!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alertpay.com/?vcHnfgAiKmF7XUn3cpvCUg%3d%3d"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.alertpay.com/banners/ban_18.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALERTPAY is the way to set up your own sales page.

Not only can it act as a efficient revenue channel for businesses, it can also boost their existent sales figures by increasingly accessibility to the audiences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are 8 tips that will help you make your e-commerce website better and more effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make your website Interactive!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your e-commerce website may have a great visual appeal but what customers really look forward to is the usability. Include tools and features that would help your customers interact with your website and understand your products better. Remember, the more they know about your products and their benefits, more are the chances that they'll buy them. So, include product reviews, interactive images, demo videos and even chat app where visitors can talk to an online customer care person.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Track Shopping Cart Abandoner&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;An abandoned shopping cart is not always a lost sale. Rather, you can use it as an opportunity to turn freebie hunting customers into actual revenue generating ones. If your customers are looking for some free stuff, tempt them with the same. Use the 'Get it for Free' model and make them buy products in order to receive free goodies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Target your Email Campaigns&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Different people have different interests and shopping patterns. This is why you need to segment your customers and divide them into groups based on their behavior or demographics and then send targeted email campaigns. The more targeted your audiences are, the more effective will the message of your newsletters be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use Google Alerts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Google Alerts will let you stay up to date with what is happening in your industry. Just include keywords pertaining to your line of business and industry along with your company name. You will get regular alerts about all the relevant news items and happenings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Establish good Inbound Links&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inbound links determine the online popularity of your website. They not only attract traffic but also play a crucial role in determining the search engine ranking of your website. In fact, effective link building is one of the most important processes of SEO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Think about Interactive Presentation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;One factor that contributes to the uncertainty of online shopping from physical shopping is that customers cannot touch or feel a product as they can do in real life. You need to bridge this gap by providing big and neat interactive images so that they can experience the product just like they do in a retail store. Make sure all your products are presented in a organized manner accompanied with vibrant images and accurate descriptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Include Client6 Testimonials&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reviews and testimonials by clients go a long way in making new customers feel more confident about their purchase from your website. They increase the credibility of your business leading to lower shopping cart abandonment and higher overall revenue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do some Intensive SEO&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Search engine optimization is important for all the website, especially so e-commerce website. This is what enhances the visibility of the website on the web and attracts more traffic. With intensive SEO procedures, you can be sure that you get relevant shoppers on your website and not just window shoppers. Hire professional SEO services to make this happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author Resource:-&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Kabir Bedi works as a senior web consultant with LeXolution IT Services, a professional &lt;a href="http://www.lexolutionit.com/" target="_blank"&gt;web designing company&lt;/a&gt; that offers a range of web services including website maintenance and &lt;a href="http://www.lexolutionit.com/services.php" target="_blank"&gt;website design &amp;amp; development services&lt;/a&gt;.

Each merchants web site built will need use of as many options as time and experience can build.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A large number of "hits" can be obtained free by listing "key words" in Search Engines. Fortune 500 Companies list their web site links in Search Engines to drive traffic to their web sites for new business and acquiring new customers based on the specific items of interest they have listed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A camera manufacture or retail outlet will list in search engines words that describe the products for sale on a web page by listing words that describe the web page that offers their products. When a prospective customer is looking online to find sources of supply the keywords will link right into their web site and lead the prospect to the sale page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines will charge for use of this shopping method, however, with work free space can be obtained and depending on the effort large numbers of new customers can be sent to any web site. An example of two major opportunities to list in search engines are listed here. Following the instructions a start at populating links to the web sites can be started. Free listings take time to drive traffic and most of the time renewing the listings every 30 days will pay the best dividends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitting for results!

Take a duplex valued at $100,000. {This low figure is for demostration purposes, of course property values tend higher.} if it is purchased with 10% down, that 10% is the financial leverage used to control not the $10,000, but 10 times as much, the whole $100,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;****You don't have to be a tax attorney or an accountant to realize the government is subsidizing your ownership by allowing certain business expenses such as taxes, insurance, mortgage interest deductions and depreciation during property ownership. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;**** &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;{Warning to understand the full federal and state government tax benefits a good tax attorney or accountant is Necessary. B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;etter be safe and well informed now, than sorry later.}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rental Income could well pay for the property, possibly furnish some cash flow at the same time. So What! Having renters buy a property is just the smallest benefit. Building up equity is not the end of the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INFLATION, APPRECIATION in property value provides the real wealth. Owning the property for only 10 years at the average inflation rate of 5% per year is not unrealistic. Purchasing in a good growth location will produce much more and at the end of a 10 year period check how much is the property worth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Financial Leverage, the secret to wealth, using borrowed money to control the resource, in this case real estate, while the value soars. At 5% appreciation at the end of ten years your $10,000 original investment has grown five times. The investment is now worth $150,000 plus from the value of $100,000 controlled at the time of purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big secret to financial leverage is the small original investment used to control the largest amount of value. Other benefits accrue at the same time such as cash flow and equity build up, just more frosting on the cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No puzzle, no mystery...just using money plus time...and the correct pick of investments of course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.cresystems.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323038172585018482" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 78px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sd87A-rGRHI/AAAAAAAAALQ/FXWOOVnwWVw/s320/sellsystem.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Secrets of Buying Investment Rental Properties in today's Market.

In this day and age if you have a brick and mortar business and do not make use of the internet to market yourself, you are at a huge disadvantage. Surprisingly though, almost 95% of all off-line business owners are not on line, and most of those don't have a clue about the internet or how to use it to their advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is great news for Internet Marketers. If you are in the Internet Marketing business or have wanted to break into it, now is the time. If you are ready to cash in on enormous profits, you need to look no further than the small business owner s in your local community. Quite surprisingly this is an untapped market that is just starting to be discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a variety of ways that you can help the local business owner to become known on the Internet. First and foremost you will want to build them a website that will be SEO optimized. It will be important for the business owner to have a high search ranking for those searching for local businesses. On the website you should make sure there is an opt in page to collect data from potential customers. Starting and maintaining a blog on the business's website can also be very beneficial, just make sure you keep the blog running with useful information. Blogging is the up and coming way to advertise and you will not want the small business owner to miss out on any opportunities. Having audio and video clips on the website can also attract new customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the website, there are also some other key things you can do to help the off line business owner. First, you will want to make sure that the business owner is listed on the internet yellow page websites. Second, you will want to get them registered with Google Local. Third, you can also work with the business owner to come up with coupons to lure in new and returning customers. There are a variety of coupon sites that you can post these on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, it is easy to see that the off line business owner could see a huge spike in their business if they were to tap into the internet market. Most brick and mortar business owners however, have no idea where to begin and yet they would love to have the edge on their competitors. So, if you are an internet marketer or looking to become one, now is the time to take action. Your fortune could very well be waiting for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about offline marketing, check out the free &lt;a href="http://ac3835lh604e1m63kdbbh2x92e.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy Offline CASH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; report.

Each merchants web site built will need use of as many options as time and experience can build.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A large number of "hits" can be obtained free by listing "key words" in Search Engines. Fortune 500 Companies list their web site links in Search Engines to drive traffic to their web sites for new business and acquiring new customers based on the specific items of interest they have listed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A camera manufacture or retail outlet will list in search engines words that describe the products for sale on a web page by listing words that describe the web page that offers their products. When a prospective customer is looking online to find sources of supply the keywords will link right into their web site and lead the prospect to the sale page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines will charge for use of this shopping method, however, with work free space can be obtained and depending on the effort large numbers of new customers can be sent to any web site. An example of two major opportunities to list in search engines are listed here. Following the instructions a start at populating links to the web sites can be started. Free listings take time to drive traffic and most of the time renewing the listings every 30 days will pay the best dividends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitting for results!

Literally hundreds of thousand new buyers are now on the Market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;*$8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit is for &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"first-time"&lt;/span&gt; home buyers only. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Don't Stop Read More!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A first-time home under the rules of IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.The tax credit available is equal to 10% of the purchase price up to a maximum of $8000. A tax credit should not be confused with a tax deduction. A tax credit will be added to any other federal income tax withheld or paid during the year.(example: estimates &amp;amp; withholdings) A tax deduction is a qualified payment you made during the year and reduces the amount you are taxed upon. "Adjusted Gross Income"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A single taxpayer with income up to $75000 ($4000 tax credit) and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 ($8000 tax credit) qualify for the tax credits on homes purchased after January 1, 2009 and the sale closed by December 1, 2009. Don't wait, it will take you time to find the right home, complete the negotiations, arrange financing and close the sale before December 1....this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the earlier legislation this "Tax Credit" is not a loan to be repaid to the government later. The tax credit enacted in July 2008 had to be repaid and was just a tax free loan. The home buyer under this new program must use the home as their principal residence for at least three years or have a liability to pay back the tax credit. (However, certain exceptions apply.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can leverage your down payment with a loan from a number of different sources, your IRA, a relative or even the seller. You can purchase the home on a land sales contract or trust deed with the seller financing until you can refinance and cash them out. Any bank or mortgage company can qualify you for a mortgage in advance. Qualifying in advance will provide you and your seller the reasonable assurance that you will be able to payoff contract within a reasonable time after you receive your tax refund in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Give yourself plenty of time and do not commit to more than the cash you have for a down payment plus the tax credit coming in 2010.) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the federal tax credit different local and state governments have low income incentives for home buyers. Depending on how you finance your purchase there are a number of mortgage plans that you can talk to your bank or mortgage agent about including 100% Veterans Loans to low down payment FHA loans. In many cases the sellers are willing to help with the cost of obtaining financing. Just make sure you have any agreement for the seller to help with any costs as part of the purchase agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers does this add up to your advantage? You bet!&lt;br /&gt;Let me relate a personal experience. I had a rental property go vacant this past month and decided it's time to sell. Using FREE online services, home made signs on the property we found a buyer and by saving on not paying a commission by selling it ourselves. We felt our final cash settlement was about the depreciation we had suffered with the recent market decline. How did we do it, we advertised the available $8000 tax rebate...and did our phone ring off the hook. Selling time approximate two weeks while we were painting and fixing up after the previous tenant moved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.soldin21.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323030646963028098" style="WIDTH: 142px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sd80K7i_wII/AAAAAAAAAK4/e4xkOKbTrJs/s200/sell21ebookhome.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; $7 to SAVE THOUSANDS &lt;a href="http://harveytus.soldin21.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323031221912326210" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 112px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sd80sZZl0EI/AAAAAAAAALA/FHBQ1u_HkNk/s200/sell7dollarsale.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tips &amp;amp; Warnings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Check out free ad sites such as "Craig's List"&lt;br /&gt;**Dandy Dime or such online ads.&lt;br /&gt;**Check around for recommendations for a real estate person to help you shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**Ask around at work or Church for someone that may want &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to sell but just didn't think the time was "right". &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Check with your local housing authorities for additional programs for home buying.&lt;br /&gt;**Do not enter into any contract without competent advice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;**&lt;strong&gt;If you use seller financing, "pre-qualify" for a mortgage in advance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Resources&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/faq.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;2009 1st time home buyer (Government)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm" target="_blank"&gt;Other Federal Government Grants&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hud.gov/local/index.cfm"&gt;Information by States&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://first-time-home-buyer-s.com/first_time_home_buyer_grants.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Various State First Time Home Buyer Programs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.cresystems.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323038172585018482" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 78px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/Sd87A-rGRHI/AAAAAAAAALQ/FXWOOVnwWVw/s320/sellsystem.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Secrets of Buying Investment Rental Properties in today's Market.

Plus of course, some of these ideas are new to beginners and we all know how important it is to help beginners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice that ways to make money with a website are different from ways to make more money from it. Methods to increase your traffic or click-through rate will help you make more money, but they do not represent a method of making money per se.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, one could suggest that blending AdSense ads with the content is a way to make money from a website. In reality it’s not; it’s just a way to make more money by improving your ad click-through rate. The real monetization method behind it is a PPC ad network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=3&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;10 Easy To Follow Videos Showing You How To Create Your Blog From Scratch!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=3&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/roadmap"&gt;FREE: Discover The Time Tested And Proven Roadmap To Blogging Success…&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=3&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;&lt;img height="60" alt="Click Here to Watch the FREE Blogging Video Tutorials" src="http://www.becomeablogger.com/images/banners/becomeblogger-468x60.gif" width="468" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list is divided into direct and indirect methods, and examples and links are provided for each point. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Direct Methods&lt;br /&gt;1. PPC Advertising Networks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website. Mortgages, financial products and college education are examples of profitable niches (clicks worth a couple of dollars are not rare), while tech-related topics tend to receive a smaller CPC (sometimes as low as a couple of cents per click).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. CPM Advertising Networks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can get as low as $0,10 and as high as $10 per 1,000 impressions (more in some special cases). CPM advertising tends to work well on websites with a high page views per visitor ratio (e.g., online forums, magazines and so on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Direct Banner Advertising&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Text Link Ads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Google declared that sites selling text links without the nofollow tag would be penalized, this monetization method became less popular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many website owners are still using text links to monetize their sites, though, some using the nofollow tag and some not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advantage of this method is that it is not intrusive. One can sell text links directly through his website or use specialized networks like Text-Link-Ads and Text-Link-Brokers to automate the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Affiliate Marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to find suitable affiliate programs you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook, or join affiliate marketplaces and networks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Monetization Widgets&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Sponsored Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy on the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics. Not all bloggers are willing to get paid to write about a specific product or website (because it might compromise the editorial credibility), but the ones who do are making good money out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your blog has a big audience you could also offer sponsored reviews directly, cutting off the commissions of the middleman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. RSS Feed Ads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feedburber already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, some blogs are also opting to sell banners or sponsored messages on their feed directly. John Chow and Marketing Pilgrim are two examples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Sponsors for Single Columns or Events&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you website has specific columns or events (e.g., a weekly podcast, an interview series, a monthly survey, a special project) you could find companies to sponsor them individually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This method increases the monetization options for website owner, while giving advertisers the possibility to target a more specific audience and with a reduced commitment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mashable illustrates the case well. They have several advertising options on the site, including the possibility to sponsor specific columns and articles, including the “Daily Poll” and the “Web 2.0 Invites.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problogger also runs group writing projects occasionally, and before proceeding he publicly announce the project asking for sponsors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.Premium Content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some websites and blogs give away part of their content for free, and charge for access to the premium content and exclusive tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEOMoz is a good example. They have a very popular blog that gives advice and information on wide range of SEO related topics. On top of that visitors can decide to become premium members. It costs $48 monthly and it grants them access to guides, tools and other exclusive material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Private Forums&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the Internet is populated with free forums, there is also the possibility to create a private one where members need to pay a single or recurring fee to join.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEO Blackhat charges $100 monthly from its members, and they have thousands of them. Obviously in order to charge such a price for a forum membership you need to provide real value for the members (e.g., secret techniques, tools, and so on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Performancing also launched a private forum recently, focused on the networking aspect. It is called The Hive, and the monthly cost is $10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just two examples. There are many possibilities to create a private and profitable forum, you just need to find an appealing angle that will make it worth for the members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Job Boards&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the popular blogs are trying to leverage job boards to make some extra income. Guy Kawasaki, ReadWriteWeb, Problogger… you name it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say that in order to create an active and profitable job board you need first to have a blog focused on a specific niche, and a decent amount traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advantage of this method is that it is passive. Once you have the structure in place, the job listings will come naturally, and you can charge anywhere from $10 up to $100 for each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Marketplaces&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitepoint is the online marketplace by excellence. Some websites and blogs, however, are trying to replicate that model on a smaller scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on your niche, a market place that allows your visitors to buy, sell and trade products could work well. Over the time you could start charging a small fee for new product listings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with this method is that there are no standard software on the web, so you would need to hire a coder to get a marketplace integrated into your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see an example of a marketplaces being used on EasyWordpress and on Mashable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Paid Surveys and Polls&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are services that will pay you money to run a small survey or poll on your website. The most popular one is called Vizu Answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically you need to sign up with them, and select the kind of polls that you want to run your site. Most of these services operate under a CPM model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Selling or Renting Internal Pages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Million Dollar Wiki made this concept popular, but it was being used on the web for a long time around (check Pagerank10.co.uk for instance).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These websites sell for a single fee or rent for a recurring fee internal pages on their domain. Usually they have either high Pagerak or high traffic, so that people purchasing a page will be able to benefit in some way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Implementing this method on a small blog would be difficult, but the concept is interesting and could be explored further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Highlighted Posts from Sponsors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Techmeme probably pioneered this idea, but somehow it has not spread to other websites. The tech news aggregator displays editorial posts on the left column, and on the sidebar they have a section titled “Techmeme Sponsor Posts.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that section posts from the blog of the advertisers get highlighted, sending qualified traffic their way. Considering that the monthly cost for one spot is $5000 and that they have around 6 sponsors at any given time, it must be working well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Donations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Placing a “Donate” link or button on a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal development and productivity blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems (one good example being Steve Pavlina).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small variation of this method appeared sometime ago with the Buy Me a Beer plugin. This WordPress plugin enables you to insert a customized message at the bottom of each article, asking the readers to chip in for a beer or coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. In-text Adverting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In-text adverting networks like Kontera and Vibrant Media will place sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links, and once the user rolls the mouse over the link the advertising will pop. Should the user click on it the site owner will make some money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness. It is also interesting to note that very few mainstream websites have experimented with in-text advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Pop-ups and Pop-unders&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pop-ups are a common yet annoying form of advertising on the Internet. If you are just trying to make a much money as possible from your website, you could experiment with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are trying to grow the traffic and generate loyal visitors, however, you probably should stay away from them. Just consider the hundreds of pop-up blockers out there: there is a reason why they are so popular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Audio Ads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also called PPP (Pay Per Play), this advertising method was introduce by Net Audio Ads. the concept is pretty simple: play a small audio advertising (usually 5 seconds) every time a visitor enters into your website. The user should not be able to stop it, creating a 100% conversion rate based on unique visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company is still rolling tests, but some users are reporting to get from a $4 to a $6 CPM. Regardless of the pay rate, though, this is a very intrusive form of advertising, so think twice before using it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. Selling the Website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selling your website could be your last resource, but it has the potential to generate a big sum of money in a short period of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Market places on online forums like DigitalPoint and Sitepoint are always active with website buyers and sellers. Keep in mind that they most used parameter to determine the value of a website is the monthly revenue that it generates, multiplied by a certain number (the multiplier can be anything from 5 to 30, depending on the expectations of the seller, on the quality of the site, on the niche and other factors).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people also make money trading and flipping websites. They either create them from scratch or buy existing ones, and after some revamping they sell them for a profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. Selling an Ebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps one of the oldest money making strategies on the web, using a website to promote a related ebook is a very efficient way to generate revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could either structure the website around the book itself, like SEOBook.com, or launch the ebook based on the success of the website, like FreelanceSwitch did we the book How to be a Rockstar Freelancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. Selling a Hardcover Book&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many authors and journalists leverage their blogs or websites to sell copies of hardcover books. Examples include Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin and Malcolm Gladwell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While most of these people were already renowned authors before they created their website, one could also follow the other way around. Lorelle VanFossen did exactly that with her Blogging Tips book. First she built her authority on the subject via her blog, and afterwards she published the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. Selling Templates or WordPress Themes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As more and more people decide to get an online presence, website templates and WordPress themes become hotter and hotter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this segment you have mainstream websites like TemplateMonster, as well as individual designers who decide to promote and sell their work independently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian Gardner and Unique Blog Designs are two examples of websites that make money with the sales of premium and custom WordPress themes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. Offering Consulting and Related Services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on your niche, you could make money by offering consulting and related services. If you are also the author of your blog, the articles and information that you will share will build your profile and possibly certify your expertise on that niche, making it easier to gain customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Garrett used a similar strategy. First he created a highly influential blog on the blogging and new media niche, and afterwards he started offering consulting services to clients with related problems and needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. Creating an Email List or Newsletter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email lists and newsletters represent one of the most powerful marketing and money making tools on the Internet. They offer incredible conversion rates, and the possibility to call people to action in a very efficient way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creating a big list is a difficult task though, so if you have a popular website you could leverage it to increase the number of subscribers on your list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yaro Starak is a famous Internet marketer, and if you visit his blog you will notice that right on top he has a section encouraging visitors to subscribe to his email newsletter. Yaro generates five figures in revenues each month from his email newsletters, proving that this method works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27. Mentoring programs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are willing to pay for someone or something that will teach them and give them knowledge (as opposed to mere information). Education is one of the biggest industries in the world, and the online landscape behaves in a similar way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creating a mentoring program related to the niche of your website could be very profitable if you manage to structure and promote it adequately. There is a wide range of media and tools that you can use to deliver the information, from text articles to audio and video lessons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian Clark leveraged the success of Copyblogger to launch a mentoring program teaching people how to build membership and how to sell content online. The program is titled Teaching Sells, and it costs $97 monthly. Sounds expensive, but they have over 1,000 members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28. Creating a conference around the website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your website takes off and becomes an authority on its niche, you could create a conference around it. Depending on the size of your audience, the event could attract thousands of people, and you could make money directly from conference passes and sponsors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1f0437md9-ah4e0jlnzr0k0u61.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;How Yaro’s Blog Makes Money - 2 Videos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.getref.com/index.asp?id=HAKESON"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.getref.com/img/banners/getref10.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-5148565971188026926?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5148565971188026926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5148565971188026926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2008/08/28-surefire-ways-to-make-money-from.html' title='28 SureFire Ways to Make Money from Your Website.'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/SLHSrRCFDBI/AAAAAAAAACk/HUYWXqIey2Y/s72-c/blogprofitlge.gif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-115551819808910958</id><published>2009-02-28T15:14:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T06:35:13.639-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Master homebased earnings...set up web sites for local businesses.</title><content type='html'>&lt;table class="spottt_tb" id="sp_code_table_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="spottt_thumb"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://click.spottt.com/sp_click_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.php" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Spottt" src="http://view.spottt.com/sp_image_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="spottt_label"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://home.spottt.com/sp_index_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.php"&gt;&lt;img alt="Spottt" src="http://view.spottt.com/sp_label_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.easyofflineriches.com/eorcb.html?hop=harveytus"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248077715630202978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/SNTq4HnIIGI/AAAAAAAAAEU/QoaiIdyYQ50/s400/localbusweb1.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.easyofflineriches.com/eorcb.html?hop=harveytus"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248077413035323906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/SNTqmgW4sgI/AAAAAAAAAEM/70ox8x3pf2A/s400/localbusweb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electronic Commerce to Expand the Smallest Business &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Profits with Web Site Building for Local Merchants&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://harveytus.easyo.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Build a cash business working from your home building web sites for local merchants and professionals....&lt;a href="http://harveytus.easyo.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;check now!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Set your home business building web sites local merchants and professionals in your area. A business without a web site is like a stool without legs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Most merchants and professionals don't have the time or the expertise to build and promote their own web sites. You can build a cash business working from your home building and promoting web sites for businesses in your community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internet Economy is a perfect match for even the smallest Mom and Pop Operation. Mom's "housing cleaning business" will enjoy the benefits from a web site presence. Every small business can afford a 24 hour 7 day a week open sign for their business using a personal web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Selling your service as a web site manager is easy. Show you prospective client how their customers can place orders, pay invoices, make appointments or communicate special needs or requests with a web site you can build for them. Explain how customers can leave leads for additional new business and how they can follow up and respond during the next business day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****Remind them to always ask their customers for referrals at the same time they e-mailed a thank you to their customer. Wow, just point out to your client how they can follow up on this business or contact later at little or NO EXTRA COST! This way when they follow up they can promote a cross sale or up sale item. Point out it is an excellent time not only to show their appreciation of the business but a great opportunity to seek a referral from the customer of friends and family that can use their merchandise or service.*****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very important feature of the Internet for business is the removal of an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;endless number of limits.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No more limited hours,their web site is available 24/7, no more geographic or area limits, their web site is now on the world wide web. The web site is a low cost direct communication allowing quick time response. Within minutes they can post the most up to date and fresh pricing remaining competitive at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a definite fact of life, growing businesses are growing and expanding faster using the Internet to promote their products and services. An Internet connected business can respond to opportunities quicker and enjoy increased business agility. A customer online from another city is doing business with you and they really don't know if you are a in a ten story building or your basement office. No need to pay for an expensive location using a well managed Internet connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The obvious benefits of Internet business such as improved customer access, enhanced response time coupled with the golden opportunity for building a solid customer relationship are more than enough reason for every business to have a web site. Providing quick and low cost customer information will help build customer retention that is so necessary for businesses to survive today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any merchant will be leveraging lower overhead, time-to-market and almost instant communication that is provided the Internet. Just point out how easy it will be to do business with a web site. The fact is an Internet connected business becomes extra competitive and more profitable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally the business with a web site offers prestige and standing in the eyes of the customers. A good impression of modern business practices builds esteem. A location on the Internet provides worldwide circulation of products and services. More think of the expanded geographical presence extending the prospect base without any additional cost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lay open this thought, the next generation of a home based business almost untouched is for people to offer small and busy business owners instant Internet presence. A functional web site can be published in a day. Necessary web site improvements and updates will provide you with a solid income stream.

You have found a way to build with your own unique talent a real solid family sized income from your computer at home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important advertising or promotion of a business web site costs NOTHING. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet is possibly the very best way to bring people to a business web page is EVERYWHERE the business phone number is listed right next to it include the web page URL. Make it a mandatory part of every printed receipt or order form. No business should list a phone number without listing the web site address right along side.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newspaper ads, telephone books, business cards, physical location signage, mailings, invoices, receipts every piece of paper listing the business name and phone number need the web site address prominently included. In fact special promotional efforts should be directed just to announcing the business web site and extra service available online as a new and unique feature of the business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewing expectations for the new Internet presence we know the purpose is to build brand recognition, announce special sales, present new offerings, acquire new costumers, retain existing customers and with the additional opportunity of reaching beyond just the local area build profits and make more money for a business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building "web sites" is an exciting, interesting and enjoyable work right from home.

AND...provide us with income for our efforts of bringing them to our products or services.&lt;br /&gt;Our course of action is to go out and use the very best methods, invest in the greatest "rate of return" advertising and attempt to receive massive response for our promotional campaign by attracting an expanding audience of interested people willing to join to build their own stream of income or use our products.&lt;br /&gt;First mistake... NOT having a system of follow up marketing pointers for sales effort. Do not waste advertising money with a "one shot does it all" and move on without making several attempts to selling Contacts. [Here is the need for some reason for the respondent to give a follow up contact number...e-mail address.]&lt;br /&gt;A good auto response system set to make followup contact and deliver additional informational material is needed. Closing the sale and signing up the Contact is the name of the "game". Scoring is the result of efforts and keeping score is the number of Contacts that are willing to join our team or buy our products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=4&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;&lt;img height="60" alt="Click Here to Watch the FREE Blogging Video Tutorials" src="http://www.becomeablogger.com/images/banners/becomeblogger-234x60.gif" width="234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second mistake... NOT making every effort to understand and enlist personal contact and build a personal relationship with each contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not just, "here is the sales pitch", but a first hand account of what a contact is looking for and what and how they can build together and receive all the benefits. It is the FOLLOW UP and relationship trust and business building with contacts that make the money.&lt;br /&gt;Don't always expect everyone to find what is being promoted so spectacular they are willing to spend their money at first glance. If what is being offered is truly worth the marketing efforts and the followup information to enlist the purchase will need to be advanced for each prospect many times. Listing the benefits and bonus offers for acting immediately.&lt;br /&gt;First make the Contact, develop them into a Prospect and direct them into becoming a Customer.&lt;br /&gt;Now more of the BATTLE begins! Third mistake... NOT having marketing and follow up program, a winning sales agenda must be designed to build a series winning strategies to SCORE. That's the bottomline...making money, and building the income stream. In this case NEVER waste a precious newly found prospect! Time, money and effort has been spent, don't lose the sale. Equally important follow up and continued contact is just as necessary as the original "sales pitch".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means asking for the order AGAIN and expand the need for the prospect to have the product or service being offered. Timing, opportunity, closing the contact is a talent....practice and follow up assures the best sales potentials are not lost.&lt;br /&gt;Here is a PERFECT opportunity to make CONTACTS, build up some POINTS and expand. You will be able to SHARE some pointers on how to market and best sell online products and services. Follow up your experience with a great opportunity to make some new contacts and share important marketing and sales ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://trafficex.adlandpro.com/?ref=91043"&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.adlandpro.com/Resources/adlte2.gif" alt="Get Linked from thousands of Classifieds for FREE with one click." width="468" height="60" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All material herein © 2007-2009 "Harvey Akeson Tucson Calling"&lt;br /&gt;Reprint right by permission: &lt;a href="mailto:harvey@harveyakeson.com"&gt;harvey@harveyakeson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-5358809501023213357?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5358809501023213357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/5358809501023213357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/05/e-commerce-is-contact-sport.html' title='E-Commerce is a Contact Sport'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-6640306703948431560</id><published>2008-10-03T04:53:00.022-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T09:18:07.454-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Home Business Profit Makers</title><content type='html'>&lt;table class="spottt_tb" id="sp_code_table_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="spottt_thumb"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://click.spottt.com/sp_click_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.php" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Spottt" src="http://view.spottt.com/sp_image_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="spottt_label"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://home.spottt.com/sp_index_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.php"&gt;&lt;img alt="Spottt" src="http://view.spottt.com/sp_label_b0c8t170u9s0kwwg.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=harveytus&amp;amp;pid=3&amp;amp;u=http://www.becomeablogger.com/"&gt;&lt;img height="60" alt="Click Here to Watch the FREE Blogging Video Tutorials" src="http://www.becomeablogger.com/images/banners/becomeblogger-120x60.gif" width="120" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Learn how to sell your hobbies, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lifetime experiences and make money &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"blogging"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy Start Up Keep 100% of the Profits Yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep All 100% Of The Profits Yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to own your own high profit business or if you are someone who would like to make a lot of money quickly, this may be the most exciting message you will ever read!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use our cash generating webpage to earn money from all over the world, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

At first on main street with lots of window space and big signs inviting customers into our stores.&lt;br /&gt;Then came the shopping centers where various merchants attracted customers and the super malls with their "anchor stores". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The need is still traffic, traffic, traffic, but the day of location, location, location is over!&lt;br /&gt;Today Millions are shopping online, spending Billions of dollars around the world and you can earn some of the action with drop shipping suppliers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You advertise and promote from home, no warehousing or stocking merchandise, you sell and the supplier ships directly to your customer.

Your presence on the Internet can be a useful marketing tool by providing richer pre-sale information or post-sale support and service. This might temporarily differentiate your product or service from your competitors'. E-marketing has lessened the disadvantage that small businesses have faced for years when competing with larger businesses. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-Commerce has redefined the marketplace, altered business strategies, and allowed global competition between local businesses. The term “electronic commerce” has evolved from meaning simply electronic shopping to representing all aspects of business and market processes enabled by the Internet and other digital technologies. SBA is preparing to help this new generation of Internet-enabled or eSmall Businesses. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;f=b_120x60_2_blue" target="_blank" title="Website Magazine"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.websitemagazine.com/images/banners/b_120x60_2_blue.gif" border="0" alt="Website Magazine" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;f=text2" target="_blank" title="Website Magazine"&gt;Free Website Trade Publication &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Website Magazine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's business emphasis is on e-commerce - rapid electronic interactions enabled by the Internet and other connected computer and telephone networks. Rapidly business transactions and unparallelled access to information is changing consumer behavior and expectations. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reshaping its programs to better serve small businesses that taking advantage of the Internet and other emerging technologies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many small businesses assume that the Internet has little value to them because they feel that their product or service cannot be easily sold online. But inexpensive information processing and electronic media can help most small businesses provide better, faster customer service and communication. &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.harveyakeson.com/AD.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go to this page and click on United States Government Prepared Material &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://community.adlandpro.com/go/91043/welcome.aspx"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;AdlandPro will deliver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/partner.asp?ref=91043&amp;amp;pg=mbs"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="60" src="http://www.adlandpro.com/Resources/adlandgold1.gif" width="468" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-4022516646030489419?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/4022516646030489419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/4022516646030489419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/09/anyone-can-make-money-from-home-thanks.html' title='Anyone can make money from home, thanks to the Internet'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/SON9L-eqjqI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Vg2YX1-A0ys/s72-c/MothersMilk.gif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-7223062360703257693</id><published>2008-08-30T12:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-01T16:14:23.182-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FREE Subscription Web Site Magazine-Keep up-to-date!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a title="Website Magazine" href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/referrals/?id=50045&amp;amp;f=b_468x60_1_red" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Website Magazine" src="http://static.websitemagazine.com/images/banners/b_468x60_1_red.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The only publication purely for website owners - Website Magazine! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Providing Essential 'Net Info for Website Owners, our mission is to help our readers and visitors succeed by providing helpful and valuable information about online business trends, industry insights and best practices."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Information about Top Video Sharing Sites, the hottest web thing going.

Better be safe&lt;br /&gt;and well informed now, than sorry later.}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rental Income could well pay for the property, possibly furnish&lt;br /&gt;some cash flow at the same time. SO WHAT! Having renters buy&lt;br /&gt;a property is just the smallest benefit. Building up equity is not&lt;br /&gt;the end of the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INFLATION, APPRECIATION in property value provides the&lt;br /&gt;real wealth. Owning the property for only 10 years at the average&lt;br /&gt;inflation rate of 5% per year is not unrealistic. Purchasing in a&lt;br /&gt;good growth location will produce much more and at the end&lt;br /&gt;of a 10 year period check how much is the property worth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financial Leverage, the secret to wealth, using borrowed&lt;br /&gt;money to control the resource, in this case real estate, while&lt;br /&gt;the value soars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 5% appreciation at the end of ten years your $10,000 original&lt;br /&gt;investment has grown five times. The investment is now worth&lt;br /&gt;$150,000 plus from the value of $100,000 controlled at the time&lt;br /&gt;of purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The big secret to financial leverage is the small original investment used to control the largest amount of value. Other benefits accrue at the same time such as cash flow and equity &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff0000;"&gt;build up, just more frosting on the cake..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No puzzle, no mystery...just using money plus time...and the correct pick of investments of course.

You can network your way to a great new job or online business! A savvy networker develops proactive communication strategies that utilize three key skill sets for success: making connections, building relationships, and nurturing networks. Networking is an ART and it takes time, hitting the jackpot of gold is more than just joining. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;To build friendships and finding the "right" connection will require a sincere effort on your part to spend time not only to build trust and get to know people but discovering their interests. Just acquiring long lists of friends and soliciting them to join a program is not enough. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find people with the same interests. If you are looking for recipe exchanges don't expect to find them in a club or blog devoted to body building. At the same rate if you are interested in enlisting people looking for at home business opportunities find people with similar postings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://r.yuwie.com/a1papa"&gt;&lt;img alt="New...Get Paid for Networking" src="http://www.yuwie.com/images/banners/lb.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Exciting the online world is a totally new concept, sharing advertising revenue with members. Millions of dollars are being made by social networking sites such as "MYSPACE" through the sale of advertising and promotional placements. Using a system of relationship building a new and extremely profitable networking site has been launched that pays the members for their activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members earn units from e-mailing friends, posting pictures, joining special interest clubs, viewing other members postings. Each month the units earned are turned into cash depending on the total advertising revenue generated that month by the networking site. Members can earn units ten levels deep as they recruit their friends into membership. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Views" by everyone the member sponsors and everyone in that member's family tree earns units. Building a large following and exchanges within that group explodes the number of units to earn cash. In addition members establish friendships with others and earn even more units with exchanges with their newly acquired friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;YUWIE is just such a social networking site. While many people have turned it into a business relationship building addition to their other promotional activities it is a carefully designed social networking site that shares the advertising revenue based on individual activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://r.yuwie.com/a1papa"&gt;Nothing beats first hand knowledge...check this out...click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- BEGIN Traffic Flare Banner Exchange CODE --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://trafficflare.com/tfbx.cgi?135806"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;!-- END Traffic Flare Banner Exchange CODE --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-2389890500733435631?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/2389890500733435631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/2389890500733435631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2008/02/secrets-of-income-from-networking.html' title='Secrets of Income from Networking'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-8538211100049601412</id><published>2008-03-05T15:34:00.005-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-19T12:37:55.086-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Unlock the secrets of Networking</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.leisureaudiobooks.com/title.aspx?titleId=6670&amp;amp;aId=100465"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105370387045161858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/RtnrUU6gG4I/AAAAAAAAACE/3dSbtcH79ls/s320/audiobk1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unlock the secrets of the Savvy Networker and network your way to a great new job!

Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that's about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Top 10 Tips&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles.&lt;/strong&gt; A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Write one new blog post per day minimum.&lt;/strong&gt; Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;You don't have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Use a proper domain name.&lt;/strong&gt; If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that's the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Start commenting on other blogs.&lt;/strong&gt; Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts.&lt;/strong&gt; A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger's article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it's sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Encourage comments on your own blog.&lt;/strong&gt; One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival.&lt;/strong&gt; A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at &lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/"&gt;blogcarnival.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Submit your blog to &lt;a href="http://www.blogtopsites.com/"&gt;blogtopsites.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it's so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it's worth the effort. Go to &lt;a href="http://www.blogtopsites.com/"&gt;Blog Top Sites&lt;/a&gt;, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com.&lt;/strong&gt; This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it's worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to &lt;a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/"&gt;Ezine Articles&lt;/a&gt;. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Write more pillar articles.&lt;/strong&gt; Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it's certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article was by Yaro Starak, a professional blogger and my blog mentor. He is the leader of the Blog Mastermind mentoring program designed to teach bloggers how to earn a full time income blogging part time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To get more information about Blog Mastermind click this link:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogmastermind.com/?home=811"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;http://www.blogmastermind.com/?home=811&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-7791510609248016046?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/7791510609248016046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/7791510609248016046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/08/warning-you-can-go-full-time-blogging.html' title='Warning you can go full time blogging and earn money!'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-667409207194583595</id><published>2007-08-06T19:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T09:02:47.902-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Magazines for the internet..."it's time has come"</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://667.leisureaudiosales.com/prod7.cgi"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newest bold move to servicing the growing field of Internet ventures is &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Online Marketing Monthly"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It was a large boulder ready to tip over and round down the hill. Millions across the globe are finding no matter where a person lives, big city, small town, rural all you need is a computer to link you to the World via the Web and you can be in business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Home e-commerce has created a whole new industry. People stepping out to teach and provide internet services, advertising and search engines, web hosting providers everything you would need to communicate your niche to ready, willing and able buyers. Register your domain, get a payment processor and away you go into your own business.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;!-- AdJungle Zone: Blogspot --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://aj.adjungle.com/aj/zone.jsp?z=JZ0000008445" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;No employees, no rent, very little overhead and anyone can do it. At least that is what is advertised. Special forums, conferences and "road shows" are spreading out like oil on water. Everyone it seems wants to help you sell on e-bay or other auction site. Drop shippers will fill your orders, no need to warehouse or hire shipping clerks someone will take care of that too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;You just get the customers and bank the money. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Even publications are popping up to service and provide information for e-commerce. The first edition of "Online Marketing Monthly" was out in July and as they put it, "online marketing comes of age" with that they have dedicated their new magazine to this new industry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The editor, Rick Butts, outlines their vision for the new publication. "helping you succeed in making money oneline" Nathan Anderson, publisher, equally puts it down with "Truly, the time has come". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Not really weak on content or advertising the first issue makes me to look forward to the next shoe to drop in the form of my &lt;strong&gt;second free copy&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--Begin---&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onlinemarketingmonthly.com/cmd.php?Clk=2057272"&gt;&lt;img height="300" alt="Get 2 FREE Issues of Online Marketing Monthly Magazine!" src="http://www.onlinemarketingmonthly.com/3/omm1.jpg" width="250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;Get your free issues&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--End---&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adlandpro.com/partner.asp?ref=91043&amp;amp;pg=mbs"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="60" alt="Get Tools to success." src="http://www.adlandpro.com/Resources/adlandgold1.gif" width="468" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-667409207194583595?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/667409207194583595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/667409207194583595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post_06.html' title='Magazines for the internet...&quot;it&apos;s time has come&quot;'/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-2909859394001025986</id><published>2007-08-03T15:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-04T06:00:46.296-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Genuine work at home projects that will deliver solid income.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://a1profitmaker.com/"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094599793028765842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_65Si9a5vIio/RrOnhPhCGJI/AAAAAAAAABU/mlalnBwaK18/s320/imageA1ProfitMaker.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Discover a permission based e-mail service that delivers your advertising and promotions directly to affiliate members message boxes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"&gt;(Optin Safelist-without plugged mail boxes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"&gt;2200 Active members who eagerly await your messages.

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:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/article-cs.htm#pers"&gt;Give Each Customer a Personal Response&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/article-cs.htm#clear"&gt;Be Clear, But Sincere&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/article-cs.htm#live"&gt;Offer Live Customer Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/article-cs.htm#all"&gt;Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All the Answers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="pers"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give Each Customer a Personal Response&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;a name="clear"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be Clear, But Sincere&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;a name="live"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offer Live Customer Support&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;a name="all"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All The Answers&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;Provide Stand-Out Service; Gain Lifelong Customers&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;Customer Service is becoming a lost art, but Sean Cohen wants to make sure that never happens at AWeber Communications! &lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/lcs.htm?id=218959"&gt;Find out what service is meant to be.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/articles.htm?id=218959"&gt;Looking for FREE, high-quality web site or e-zine content?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29832248-8512896186908335075?l=a1profitmaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8512896186908335075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29832248/posts/default/8512896186908335075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a1profitmaker.blogspot.com/2007/07/putting-service-back-in-customer.html' title=''/><author><name>A1 Profit Maker</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://www.harveyakeson.com/harvey-janet.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29832248.post-3376292406424457252</id><published>2007-05-24T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-24T11:15:02.164-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Guest:   Many ways to "keep in touch" with customers.</title><content type='html'>Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?[By: Tom Kulzer]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person's need for information quickly! But, after you've delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information? If you are like most Internet marketers, you don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you don't follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him. Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn't receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?Following up with leads is more than just a process - it's an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don't follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consistent follow up gets results!When I first started marketing and following up with prospects, I used a follow up method that I now call the "List Technique." I had a large database containing the names and e-mail addresses of people who had specifically requested information about my products and services. These prospects had already received my first letter by the time they requested more information, so I used the company's latest news as a follow up piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information from me. While this probably did help me win a few additional orders, it wasn't a very good follow up method. Why isn't the "List Technique" very effective?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The List Technique isn't consistent. Proponents of the List Technique tend to only send out follow up messages when their companies have "big news".&lt;br /&gt;List Technique messages don't give the potential customer any additional information about the product or service in question. He can't make a more informed buying decision after receiving a newsletter! If someone is wondering whether your company sells the best knick-knacks, what does he care that you've just moved your headquarters?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List Technique messages convey a "big list" mentality to your potential customers. When I used to write follow up messages using the List Technique, I was writing news bulletins to everyone I knew! I should have been sending a personal message to each individual who wanted to know more about my products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What follow up method really works?Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning. First, you'll need to develop your follow up messages. If you've been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn't have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services! Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message. The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect's mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn't yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn't the right color or doesn't have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it's unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don't want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up! Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors'. You will make the sale! Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don't want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart. Following up effectively seems complicated, but it doesn't have to be! So many potential customers are lost because of poor follow up - don't you want to be one of the few to get it right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tom Kulzer, CEO and Founder of Newtown, PA based AWeber Communications, Inc. an opt-in email service provider.
