Remember Your Offline Advertising

Remember your online advertising. A lot of online based businesses forget
About offline advertising. It is important to combine offline and online
advertising together in your marketing campaign. You can market offline
more effectively by targeting people that actually have access to the
internet. In all your advertising you want to include your web site address, e-mail or
auto responder addresses, and the e-mail address to subscribe to your
e-zine. Below are 10 offline marketing ideas:

1. Place classified or full page ads in print publications. The print
Publications should be computer or internet related.

2. Post flyers in stores. They could be computer stores, software stores,
libraries etc.

3. Buy mailing lists and send direct mail. You should make sure that all
the people on the mailing list are internet users.

4. Buy commercial time on T.V. They can be during shows that are targeted
toward internet users.

5. Pass out your CD-ROM or diskette business cards at special events. It
could be at trade shows, seminars, fairs, etc.

6. Set up a deal with another business that targets internet users. Pay the
business to insert your business ads in their product packages.

7. Hold a free offline class and teach people how to use their computer or
how to use the internet. You could have your web site on display as an
example.

8. Do co-op mailings with other businesses. They should also be targeting
people with internet access.

9. Give away free mouse pads. Put your advertising on the mouse pads and give
them away at computer or internet events.

10. Advertise in card decks. The card deck you advertise in should be targeted
toward internet users.

You would also want to target your offline advertising to groups of people
that will actually be interested in your product or service. If you're
selling business books, you will want to market to business owners. In
conclusion, if you have a business that's only based online, you don't want
to market to people that don't have access to the internet.

Thanks for your time today,

Who won't anymore...

And who always will.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t quit

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us at sometimes learns
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out
Don’t give up through the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow

Often the goal is nearer than it seems
To a faint and faltering man
Often the struggle has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup
When he learned too late when the night came
How close he was to the golden crown

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worse that you mustn’t quite

Making a decent income at home online is the dream of many people, as it would provide them with a golden opportunity to live the life they have imagined. However, few people actually have the resources or the determination to make it work. It is possible to work at home over the Internet, but not everyone knows how to pull it off. Here are a few tips on how to make a decent income online from the comfort of home.
Look for the Right Opportunity

When it comes to making income at home online, there are so many different opportunities out there that it can be difficult to find one that is legitimate. There are many scams that try to get people to invest in them to provide a way to make money from home. Most of the time, an individual is not going to be able to simply try out the first thing that they come across and be successful at it. Finding the right opportunity takes some trial and error. It also can be aided by reading reviews about opportunities to see exactly what other people have to say about them. When checking online reviews about a business opportunity, it is important to make sure that the reviews are unbiased.
Persistence
Once an opportunity is identified that has some potential for success, it is important to work with persistence. Many people have a little bit of success with an online business opportunity, and then struggle. Some choose to give up in this situation while others continue to plug away. Those who continue working are usually the ones who do the best in their careers. Those who give up usually move from one thing to another without ever really finding any success.
Discipline
Regardless of what type of online business opportunity is pursued, it is important to make sure that a specific schedule is followed. Although working at home online does provide some flexibility in scheduling, the individual should still work specific hours. Many people who make the jump to working online end up working on an irregular schedule. This leads to problems, because they don’t end up getting all of their work done. For those who want to be successful working at home online, it is essential to stay disciplined and work when it’s time to work. This might mean staying away from the other members of the household in an office until the work is done.
Overall, working at home is a golden opportunity that makes it possible for a person to be his own boss and to make an unlimited amount of online income. To make it work, it will just take the right opportunity coupled with the right attitude.

10 Tips for Writing A Good Advertisement

1. Publish a picture of yourself in your advertisement. This will
show people that you're not hiding behind your website and you're
not afraid to backup your product.

2. List how many famous or respected people have purchased
your product in your advertisement. These people should be fairly
known by your target audience.

3. Publish the results of any tests your product has passed in
your advertisement. Your product may have passed a durability
test, safety test, quality test, etc.

4. Publish the results of any positive surveys you've taken from
your customers in your advertisement. Just survey your current
customers and list the results.

5. List any publications that have written about your business
in your advertisement. It could be a product review, on a top ten
list, an article, etc.

6. List any related books that you've written in your advertisement.
When you list a book(s) you've wrote, it gives you credibility
because it shows you're an expert.

7. Have a professional looking web site to publish your
advertisement on. When people visit your site and it looks
unprofessional, they'll relate that toyour product.

8. Publish any endorsements from famous people in your
advertisement. Some people will think if a famous person, enjoys
your product, so will they.

9. Use a money back guarantee in your advertisement. This
will remove the risk from your potential customers and show
them that you stand behind your product.

10. Provide testimonials from satisfied customers in your
advertisement. The testimonials should include specific and
believable results you customers have received.

 More Links

Every internet marketer need to increase links to their web sites so that they can build their business. There are a number of ways to do this. I do feel the most effective way to get people to link to your web site is by offering web masters the option of giving away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your website. Why would other web masters want to do this? They may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their website. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and soon... The more people that link to your web site the more traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic. Free Software Offer free software from your web site. The software could be freeware, shareware or demos. Free Online Services Offer a free online service from your web site. The online service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information Offer valuable free information from your web site. The information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio recording or e-mail course, etc. Free Affiliate Program Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,two tiered, etc. Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you increase traffic to your web site.

Lets Start A Small Business

When the opportunity arises to start a work at home business there are several points to consider before beginning. These points can make a work at home business run more smoothly, save money and bring success. Planning is very important when starting a work at home business.

The first thing to consider is what kind of business to start. What kind of products or services will likely be sold? Is it a product you’re selling for someone else or is it your own invention? Is it a service you will perform yourself or are there others that will do this? Will it be an online program? Finding the right niche is very important and everything will revolve around this.

Second, where will this business be located? It is important to have a space for this purpose and only this purpose. Preferably a separate room with a door that can be closed for quiet and privacy. There needs to be enough room for a desk and any other furniture you desire. Also, if there are products that must be kept in your office, make sure you have the room to store them. If you make your own product, make sure you have a space for this purpose so everything can be organized and streamlined. The worst thing is being unorganized. It wastes time and time is money.

Third is budget. What kind of budget can you work with? With every business, whether it be online or brick and mortar, there comes cost. Cost to make the product, advertising, any kind of monthly fee for programs you are involved with, even the internet connection. Consider any kind of furniture or office supplies that are needed. A monthly budget must be laid out so over spending can be avoided. Do not take on more than can be afforded.

Fourth is advertising. Consider the type of advertising you like. Some may like running ads in newspapers and others may prefer solo ads in online ezines. Whatever you decide, make an advertising plan and stick to it. Make sure it is within the budget you set up though.

Time is the fifth point to consider. If a job is still held outside the home until the home business becomes successful, make sure there is sufficient time to work on the home business. Balancing work, home and children is hard enough. Trying to build a home business on top of all that may be challenging. Set a schedule that is realistic and follow it. Don’t forget to schedule some down time too. You’ll need to relax and spend time with family.

After considering these points you can create a plan and start building your own successful work at home business.

Extend Your Time

Extend Your Time

You have available to you the concept of leveraging your time if you are in the network marketing business. A lot of network marketers never fully understand how to maximize this concept to build wealth.

It is when you enroll a new distributor that the basics of leveraging your time start. This is where you have the chance to duplicate your efforts. Whenever this new distributor spends time working on their business, they are also spending time working on your business.

So this is how you leverage your time without personally working harder. Therefore, it only stands to reason that the more people you have working for you in this capacity the more potential money you can make.

This is why so many people can get wealthy in network marketing and never work more than a few hours every week. To learn how to leverage your time to find the quality people to grow your business is the key.

Now, this is where the Internet really comes into play. By using Internet tools such as landing pages to capture contact information for future follow-up is a smart way to leverage your time.

Before the internet was around you would prospect and try to individually follow up with those people in person, via direct mail, or on the phone. Needless to say that was a very difficult way to build a network marketing business.

In this day and age you can build a large list to follow up with via email and then let an auto-responder handle all of the follow-up for you. Thanks to the internet it is possible to literally build a list of thousands of people and develop a network marketing business of thousands of people all online.

Now the real power of this however is when your downline of thousands of people are all duplicating the time you're putting in. Can you imagine how exciting it would be if you knew you had a thousand people in your group all building large email lists to follow up with of their own.

I am sure you can see that you literally can build wealth in network marketing and the concept of leveraging your time and that of your downline is what made it possible.

I was recently reminded of one of my favourite quotes and mentioned it in another post (can’t remember where, I must be at that age) and is very relevant. Its is from the famous scientist Isaac Newton who said:-

"If it appears that I can see further it’s because I am standing on the shoulders of giants".

He obviously felt somewhat humbled by others who had helped him and who he had learned from.

Below are three ways to generate profitable business ideas.


1. Communicating regularly with other business people can

can also stimulate your mind. Read business books, magazines,
e-books, web sites, journals, e-zines, newspapers etc. Your
brain will generate profitable ideas by absorbing and
rearranging this information on a regular basis.


3. Don't have a lot of time to read? You could listen to
business audio books, seminars and courses. Listen to
them in the car, while your doing house work, working in
the yard, or exercising. Also, tune in business related radio
stations. This will help you save time and generate
profitable business ideas at the same time.


There are a few extra tips that will help improve these idea
generation strategies. Take short breaks to brainstorm about
the information you absorbed. Keep a notepad and pen
handy to record your ideas so you don't forget them. All
businesses need profitable business ideas to stay ahead of
competition and survive.
