Maintain Your Profits In A Slow Economy |
1. Sell more back end products to your existing customer base. You already created rapport, trust and proved your credibility to them. 2. Make it a practice to up sell to new and existing customers. After they decide to buy one product, offer them another product. 3. Cross promote your products and services with other businesses that aren't competition. You will reach a wider audience at less cost. 4. Create joint venture deals with other businesses. You can expand your product line and target other profitable markets at a lower cost. 5. Start an affiliate program for your business. You will be able to spend less profits on risk advertising and spend more money on guaranteed sales. 6. Trade advertising with other businesses to save revenue. You could trade e–zine ads, banners ads, links, print ads, etc. 7. Out source part of your workload. This can save on employee costs, equipment costs, taxation costs, expansion costs, etc. 8. Add low cost bonuses to your offer that have a high perceived value. It could be ebooks, members only sites, consulting, e–reports, etc. 9. Use viral marketing to promote your business on the internet. Give away free stuff with your ad copy include on it so others can give it away. 10. Follow up with all your prospects. You can use a free e–zine, a follow–up autoresponder, an update or reminder list, etc. |
The Benefits Of A Solar Lifestyle |

1. You will save hundreds of dollars a month. . . and thousands of dollars a year. . . for the rest of your life. . . 2. You will help our environment and maybe more and more people will follow us in supporting the future of Earth. . . 3. You will have a lot of fun in building your own power systems. You can do it with your close friends and family during a week-end and everyone will enjoy it. . . 4. You will be able to go completely off-grid if you want, knowing that rising energy prices will not affect you. . . 5. You will be able to make the electricity company pay you, because the surplus of what you produce will make the meter go the other way, in case you want to stay on-grid. . . 6. You will be able to protect your pocket book during these recession times and spend money on more important things. . . 7. You will feel awesome because you know you've done something great and you will have the wisdom to be part of the solution, not the problem... http://inthespiritmarketing.com/ml/ga4g/cba3q1 To a better life, P.S. — Did you know that here in Arizona your property CAN'T go up because you added solar power to your home? advertisement |
Playing With Words |
If electricity comes from electrons, does that mean that morality comes from morons? Marriage is the mourning after the knot before. A hangover is the wrath of grapes. Corduroy pillows are making headlines. Is a book on voyeurism a peeping tome? |

Turn your Writing Into a Work from Home Business |
Writing from home is the fastest growing career today. Being a freelance writer has traditionally been a work at home job, and now that working at home is becoming more popular, there have been more writers in the industry. If you like to write and have a good grasp of the English language, you will never be at a loss for the work at home writing jobs. Starting your career as a work at home writer is as easy as doing some Internet research and applying for a job. There are many ways to break into the writing field, even if you have no previous experience. Online opportunities abound, and there are still many writers who stay exclusively in the print market. While many writers dream of one day writing the great American novel, most writers are realistic in knowing that they are going to have to do some other types of writing to get paid on a consistent basis. Writing for pay is mostly, if not exclusively, done in the non–fiction genre. While occasionally you will find contests for fiction writing or for poetry, these opportunities are few and far between when compared to the non–fiction opportunities. Writing from home requires that you have a reliable Internet connection, good written communication skills and the ability to be a self–starter. As a writer, you will be in charge of your time and your projects. There will always be deadlines to meet and new writing opportunities to try. You will be responsible for balancing your writing with the rest of your life. You must also have the ability to research a wide variety of topics. As you accept assignments, you'll be challenged to learn about and write about topics that you may have little experience in. Freelance writing from home can break down into three specific areas: writing for print, writing for the web and blogging. Although blogging is technically writing for the web, there are many distinctions that make it different from other web writing opportunities. Writing for print is what people generally think of when they hear the term "freelance writer." Writers who write for the print markets need to first build a reputation as reliable and eloquent writer. If you've never written for the print markets before, start with smaller, local publications and then work from there. You'll need to find a list of publications that are accepting "queries." Queries are a combination of a letter of introduction and a pitch for a story idea. Most writers rely on the Writer's Market Reference Guide for lists of publications. The Writer's Market has comprehensive information on a variety of newsletters, magazines and other publications that are taking queries. Start with topics that you know the most about and try writing a few queries to get yourself going in the print market. The only drawback to writing for print is that the period between when you write and when you get paid can be months long. For many people, this is just not feasible. Writing for the web, however, can meet their income needs and still allow them to write from home. There are many categories of writing for the web. You can be a ghostwriter for e–books or other Internet media. Many people need copywriters to provide content for their sales letters and websites. You can also offer your services to webmasters who need fresh content for their blog or newsletter. The opportunities are endless. Blogging is yet another way to make money as a writing wahm. Blogs are an ever–growing form of Internet media. Blog writers generally provide their own content. You can make money as a wahm by starting your own blog and posting to it daily. If you love to write, you can start several blogs at once and multiply your earnings. If you are an experienced blogger you can make money posting on other people's posts. |

How To Jump Start Your Sales |
by John Strasser |
1. Find a strategic business partner. Look for ones that have the same objective. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, etc. 2. Brand your name and business. You can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e–zines or web sites for republishing. 3. Start an auction on your web site. The type of auction could be related to the theme of your site. You'll draw traffic from auctioneers and bidders. 4. Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure. 5. Model other successful business or people. I'm not saying out right copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed. 6. Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free, sometimes you have to spend money to get results. 7. Include emotional words in your advertisements. Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc. 8. Ask people online to review your web site. You can use the comments you get to improve your web site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer. 9. Out source part of your workload. You'll save on most employee costs. You could out source your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc. 10. Combine a product and service together in a package deal. It could increase your sales. If you're selling a book, offer an hour of consulting with it. John Strasser has been playing with the internet since before the world wide web was invented.

Web Design Basics: 10 No–No's |
by John Strasser |
1. Don't load your web site with a lot of high tech clutter. Your visitors may miss your whole sales message. 2. Don't use unnecessary words or phrases on your site. You only have so much time to get your visitor's attention and interest; make ever word count. 3. Don't make the mistake that everyone will totally understand your web site message. Use descriptive words and examples to get your point across. 4. Don't write your strongest point or benefit only once. You should repeat it at least 3 times because some people may miss it. 5. Don't push all your words together on your web site. People like to skim; use plenty of headings and sub headings. 6. Don't use site content your target audience isn't interested in. If people are coming to your site to find info about fishing don't include soccer content. 7. Don't use 50 different content formats all over your web site. Use the same fonts, text sizes, text colors, etc. 8. Don't use words your web site visitors might not understand. People are not going to stop and look in a dictionary, they will just go to another site. 9. Don't let selling words and phrases go unnoticed. Highlight important words and phrases with color, bolding, italics, underlining, etc. 10. Don't forget to use words that create emotion. All people have emotions, people will have more interest when they are emotionally attached. John Strasser has been playing with the internet since before the world wide web was invented.
