Secrets of the Big Dogs: Providing Quality Content

March 10, 2007--The Internet has always been and
will always be starving for content. To survive in the
field of Internet Marketing providing quality content
is of vital importance.

Autoresponders are of little use without professional
letters. Websites will not hold visitors attention
without good content. Submitting articles to article
directories is of little use if the articles do not provide
relevant and useful information. Ezines must have
lots of quality content just to continue to exist.

Leads and sales generation is achieved through the
intelligent use of strategic content.

Recognizing this fact of the Internet, Steven
Wagenheim has created an information product that
consists of 50 volumes of professional content.
Buyers of this product can use this content for myriad
purposes related to leads and sales generation.

Steven Wagenheim established himself by becoming
the top affiliate of the Secrets of the Big Dogs program.
Later he created the Honest Income Program. And most
Recently, he released the My Secret Articles information
product.

This unique information product represents four years
of work in the field by the author.

Double ...Even Triple Your Profits With Autoresponders

Double ...Even Triple Your Profits With Autoresponders

==================================================
The Automatic Follow-Up Machine -- Why It's
Essential To Your Online Business, How To Create
An Effective One, And How It Can Easily Double ...
Even Triple Your Profits!
==================================================

You can use autoresponders to close more sales,
work less, and overall, make more money.

When you set-up an autoresponder you write
messages that you "load" into it. You set these
messages to go out whenever you like. One can go
out immediately after someone subscribes. And
then, you can set-up your autoresponder to send
out messages at a predetermined time.

For example, I might set up my autoresponder like
this...

Message # 1: Delivered immediately
Message # 2: 2 days after previous
Message # 3: 3 days after previous
Message # 4: 2 days after previous
Message # 5: 2 days after previous
Message # 6: 1 day after previous
Message # 7: 3 days after previous

You just set-up the messages, create subject lines
because they are sent via email, and then
determine how often you would like the messages to
come to your subscribers. With the above example,
the autoresponder would keep coming to a
subscriber over the course of 2 weeks, which is
about perfect. So you might want to use the above
schedule for sending out your own autoresponders
if it makes it easier for you.

Now how do autoresponders work to close more sales
for you?

The principal is simple...

A large majority of people visiting your website
WILL NOT buy the first time they visit. That's a
fact. Usually, it will take them 3 or more times
of being exposed to your offer before they decide
to buy, and it can take as many as 7 exposures,
hence the reason I recommend having at least 7
autoresponder messages.

It's like television commercials. You might not
really take note of what they're selling the first
or second time you see them. But soon, after
you've been exposed to the commercial over time,
you might start to really desire the product
they're offering.

Autoresponders work the same way. By being
delivered again and again to your prospects,
you're able to keep your offer in front of their
mind. So, in time, after multiple exposures,
they're much more likely to buy from you.

But that's not the only reason autoresponders work
so well.

They can also be used to build credibility in
yourself as an expert, which is important when
trying to establish your product as something that
can benefit customers. If they believe you know
your stuff, they're going to want to hear what you
have to say. And by using a course like the one
you're now reading, you can show how much you know
and that will be passed along to prospects so they
can believe what you're telling them and trust
your opinion.

Another way autoresponders help increase sales is
by keeping your product in front of someone that
might have not been able to order from you on the
day they first saw your order. Perhaps they're
waiting on their paycheck. Maybe they have a sick
relative and don't really have time to consider
your offer. There could be a hundred reasons why
someone might want to order, but will put it off
until later. And by using an autoresponder, you
can keep your offer in front of your potential
customers so that when they are ready they won't
forget about your offer and they'll have an easy
way to access your sales page again online.

Hopefully the reasons above are compelling enough
to have you running to get your own autoresponder.
They really can increase sales dramatically, and
no web-based business should be without one. So
take a little time to find a good autoresponder
service you can use by searching at Google under
the keyword, "autoresponder". You should come
up with lots of choices.

How To Build A Strong, Hungry, Ready To Buy Email List of Subscribers

How To Build A Strong, Hungry, Ready To
Buy Email List of Subscribers

================================================
The 10-Minute Emails Secret For Making Fast Cash
Whenever You Want! A Man Uses This Technique
2 Times A Week Or More And Makes $50,000
Or More Each Time He Does It!
================================================


Imagine this...

Spending about 10-minutes writing a short email,
clicking a single button, and then sitting back
and watching as the profits literally roll in.

Something you'd like to do?

I thought so.

To start, let me unveil some of the mystery
surrounding 10-minute emails and give you a deep
understanding of how they work.

First, you'll need an autoresponder. Are you
familiar with these little wonders? If not, let me
tell you a bit about them to get you up to
speed...

Autoresponders are "machines" that can be loaded
with messages that you write, or you hire someone
to write. In fact, the message you're reading
right now could be sent to you using an
autoresponder. It does everything automatically.

Whenever someone sends an email to your
autoresponder from their email address, the email
address they use is automatically added to the
autoresponders list manager. This is simply a list
of ALL the people that have ever sent an email to
your autoresponder.

Now with an autoresponder you can send out a
message whenever someone sends an email to the
machine. Or you can choose not to. It's your
choice. But what's important is that you're able
to collect and keep all of the email addresses of
people that have signed-up for your autoresponder.

But the first challenge you're going to run into
is how the heck can you get people to sign-up into
your autoresponder, right?

Worry not....

================================================
Here's How To Build A Strong, Hungry, Ready To
Buy Email List of Subscribers That Want To Buy
What You Throw In Front Of Them!
================================================

Well, the best way is to give the potential
subscriber something for free. For instance, I
offer free reports. You can do the same.
Free reports are great because they don't cost you
a dime when you send them out, because everything
is online.

So what you want to do is figure out what type of
list you want to build. Your list should be targeted,
meaning everyone signing up on it has a common
interest. So if you were to create a list of dog lovers,
you could have a report titled something like, "10
Things You Must Know About Your Dog's Health
That Your Vet Will Never Tell You!"

Then, you know that everyone signing up for your
free report is interested in the health of their
dog, meaning they're a dog owner.

So what you would do to start signing up
subscribers is this...

1) Create a free report on a subject that has a
broad interest, but not too broad. For example,
"dog owners", "gardeners", "moms", etc.

2) Write a letter that offers the free report and
create it as a webpage. Do a search on Google and
you'll find everything you need to create a great
website that will serve you well. It doesn't need
to be fancy.

3) Get an autoresponder. A quick search at
Google under the keyword "autoresponder" will
yield a ton of results. Pick one you like. But it's
very important that you make sure the autoresponder
service you choose has a "broadcast" feature which
allows you to send out an email to everyone on your
list at the same time.

4) Then, set everything up and get the word out
about your free report offer. You can use
solo ads, PPC search engines like Google
Adwords, and even let people know from your main
website if you have one.

So how does the 10-minute email part come into
play?

Well, you go and search for products people on
your list will like. Dog owners would be
interested in buying health care products, toys,
etc., all for their dog. But what you want to do
is find products that have an affiliate program
attached to them so you get paid a percentage of
each sale you make. That's how you'll make your
money.

Now after finding a product you like and signing
up for the affiliate program so you'll get paid
each time you make a sale, it's time to write your
10-minute email.

Simply put, your email needs to describe the
product and tell your subscribers why they would
want to buy it. Simple enough, right? Then you
just include your affiliate link in the email
message so when someone wants to order, you get
credit (and paid) for it.

Then you "load" your email, hit the "broadcast"
button, and sit back and wait for the orders to
come rolling in.

But remember, you'll have best results -- and make
the really big money -- when you have a large list
of people receiving your broadcasts. So it's
essential that you put a lot of effort into
growing your list as large as possible. In fact,
when using this money-making secret, it should be
your primary focus.

And that's it in a nutshell. Hope you enjoy.

Use "Groups" To Drive Serious Traffic To Your Website

How To Use "Groups" To Drive Serious Traffic To
Your Website!

===============================================
How To Use "Groups" To Drive Serious Traffic To
Your Website! One Woman Uses This Technique To
Create A Staggering Income of $20,000 A Month!
===============================================


This is certainly a strange secret -- one I doubt
you'll see anywhere else -- and it can very well
solve the headache of getting traffic to your
website once and for all. One woman uses this
technique to create a staggering income of
$20,000 a month!


In fact, with this secret, you're going to learn
not only how to drive hordes of eager visitors
with cash in hand to your website, but you're
going to do it for FREE!

I learned this secret from a women selling weight
loss supplements, and it worked so well for her
that she was able to easily clear $20,000 or more
in any given month! Now that's some serious
traffic!

This lesson will be short. There's not much to
explain. Once you get the gist of the idea it will
become crystal clear in your mind.

Now when I say "groups", I'm not referring to a
collection of people. Instead, I'm referring to
online groups. You can find them all over the
Internet on subjects ranging from pottery to cheap
travel. The Internet is literally flooded with
groups, and that's because they're so popular.

The "secret" here is to use a group that you
create as a launching pad for your own business.
This does a couple of amazing things for you...

1) It allows you to get lots of traffic as new
people sign-up as members of your group

2) It allows you to become an expert in your group
members eyes, meaning they're much more likely to
buy from you.

Starting a group is easy. Just visit
http://www.yahoo.com and look around on the front
page. You should see a grouping of different
categories that include horoscopes, real estate,
and in there somewhere, groups. What you want to
do is click the link and create your own group.

But stop. Before you start creating your own
group, you have to make sure you're doing it
right. Think about what product you want to sell
through this group, and then create the group
around this product.

For instance, let's say you have a product that
helps people train dogs. To make it simple,
you can call your group, "The Dog Training
Authority", or something similar. The thing to
remember when creating your group is that it must
match your product, and it should be as specific
as possible. If I called the group, "Dog Lovers
Group", it's not very specific. So you really want
to narrow down your focus.

Then it's just a matter of listing your group and
waiting for people to sign-up as members. You can
even advertise your group through alternative
means, like from your website or small classified
ads. Remember, the more people that join, the more
people you'll have to sell your product to.

Once you have your group up and running, you run
it just like any ordinary group. Become the group
authority on the subject. This builds credibility
on your part. And then, from time to time -- or in
some part of your group pages -- mention your
product.

It's as easy as that!

Sure, it might sound easy. And it is. But
remember, there's a woman making $20,000 a month
by running her own group.

Start a group today. It might take some time to
grow, but in the end, you'll have a valuable tool
for promoting your product and driving serious
traffic to your website.

Is Internet Marketing Life or Death?

Is Internet Marketing Life or Death?

What if you awoke to find blue skies and sun above while you
fly down the freeway without another soul on the road at the
heart of rush hour?

I know, it sounds like a dream. Maybe it is or maybe it isn’t.

Whether or not you believe in an afterlife, you probably believe
in making the best of this life. You have dreams, aspirations,
and goals. There are things you want to do and places you
want to go.

But to get there you need to free up time and money. You need
to find a way to generate income that does not require your
constant presence. You need a path that puts you in control;
rather than your job.

This is the dream that drives the Internet Marketing, Affiliate
Marketing, and Network Marketing industries. Life is short.
There is only so much time to create the kind of lives that we
long to live. Nothing is more precious than time—as we can
do nothing without it.

Each day we have a choice between life or death. Are we
Going to fight for the kind of lives that we want to live, or are
we going to settle for less?

Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, and Network Marketing
are simply tools that you can use to fight for a better life.
They can allow you to leave your job, free up time, and end your
long commute to work.

If you choose to use one or more of these tools, then be prepared
to do whatever it takes to become a highly skilled marketer. As
it does take much effort to change the direction of the momentum
of a life. Still, it is worthwhile.

Is Internet Marketing Life or Death? You decide.

Michelangelo and Internet Marketing

Michelangelo and Internet Marketing

What many Internet Marketers fail to realize is how difficult
it is to succeed in the online business world. It takes two
qualities that few people possess:

1) An unreasonable relentless drive that can only be described
as faith.

2) Continual education and application.

If you don’t have the drive, you have no prayer of succeeding.
Even with the drive, without the proper education, you are dead
in the water.

But if you have the drive and the education, success is
inevitable. Your drive will keep you going when almost anyone
else would quit. And your education will help you find the right
path for your business, that maximizes your own personal
strengths and minimizes your weaknesses.

While it is true that few people have both the motivation and
the education that are necessary for success in Internet
Marketing, it is also true that we all have the capacity to
dramatically improve in both of these areas. Change, for better
or for worse, starts with a single decision. As we all have the
ability to make decisions, we already have success within us.

Michelangelo believed his figures were already there imprisoned
in the blocks of stone, even before he started sculpting. He just
needed to release them by removing excess stone. Success is also
already there, within us, we simply must remove the blocks that
keep us from experiencing it.

BONUS: Red Pill (for confirmed Dear Employee readers)

Red Pill
by Rob Toth

"Let me tell you why you're here...

...You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is. But it's there like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me."

Here you are, reading this. You are curious. You want to learn more. You want to find out what other options you have for your life. You want your freedom back. It's time you escaped The Matrix.

"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

"What truth," you ask?

"That you are a slave..."

But unlike Neo and the others in The Matrix, you weren't born into bondage. You weren't born as a slave. You were born free... free to think, do and create anything you want in your life. It's the conditioning of society (which you chose to accept) that enslaved you into a failing way of thinking.

Let's cut to the chase.

You're a busy person. You didn't sleep well last night. You had a very stressful day at work today. There was an accident on the bridge heading home during the commute and now you are over an hour late. Dinner is cold.

You're a busy person. But are you busy existing or are you busy living?

"You take the blue pill: the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

Several years ago, working a just-above minimum wage job I was approached by a successful colleague, the supervisor at the job I had just quit in my search for a larger income and a more meaningful career. He invited me to review another way, another option to creating income.

I had no idea what he wanted to present but I knew that somehow no job held an appeal... because they all put somebody else (the boss) in control of my schedule and my earnings. That boss would then be in control of a big chunk of my life.

I met with him that night. He sat me down and presented me with a 30-minute video. At the end of it, I was confused but intrigued. He then left me with a 30-minute audio to review on my own time.

That day, in sixty minutes, I had taken the red pill and knew there was no returning back to The Matrix. I had seen a more effective option; An option that society never would have showed me. But I had to be willing to "see it"... I had to keep my mind open...

"Free your mind!"

Now, I am here to offer you the same truth.

Instead of inviting you into my home and presenting a video, I have put together a 68-page report with video tutorials. And instead of handing you a 30-minute audio, I'm going to recommend the "best of the best" in crash course alternative income education from two New York Times bestselling financial authors. You'll find my recommendation on page 65 of an exclusive report you will learn about.

There are billions of people on this planet... literally, billions.

"Billions of people, just living out their lives, oblivious..."

"Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependant on the 'system', that they will fight to protect it."

It is a fact that 98% of a population are part of the collective. Part of the masses. They conform to old traditions. However, 2% are the visionaries. They are the "anomalies" of this population. They are the ones who set out to change things. To improve things. Not only for themselves but for thousands of lives that they will touch over the years.

I am not here to sell you anything.

I am here to offer you information.

"Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more."

"I'm trying to free your mind...

...But I can only show you the door; You're the one who has to walk through it."
Will you open the door?

"I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin."

I'm going to end this with a link to an exclusive report that will show you a different world.

"A world without rules or controls. Without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.

Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."

Choose to make a difference for you and your family. Read this report (no cost to you): http://Dear-Employee-Your-Job-Sucks.com

If you're ready to take the red pill... spend a bit of extra time and a lot of extra consideration on pages 56-65.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Jeff Mulligan on Traffic

Today we have a special guest. Jeff Mulligan, the owner of CBmall (a site that provides 15 different ways for ClickBank affiliates to earn income on thousands of popular InfoProducts) talks about what works and what doesn't when you are promoting affiliate programs.


Jeff Mulligan
===============================================================


This is Jeff Mulligan with another issue of CBmall News.
I want to give you some tips on what works and what
doesn't when you are promoting affiliate programs.
I learned this stuff from books I've read, seminars I've
attended, Gurus I've talked to, and most of all, because I've
tested it.

I'll be blunt. For the most part, gimmick traffic doesn't
generate results. It's sort of like when my son, Ryan, eats a
bowl of popcorn. After he's done, he's still hungry. (He's
always hungry:) He didn't really get the results he wanted, even
though he was chewing.

I've tried this gimmick traffic. It was a waste of time.
You can spend hours submitting to free classified ad sites,
adding your link to FFA pages and signing up for
"Guaranteed Hits" programs.

And worst of all, buying so-called "Qualified, opt-in" email
names when they come on a CD or cost $24.95 for 5 million names.
I haven't heard anyone say these tactics work except the people
promoting them. The problem is the quality is just too low.

What good does it do to make your hit counter spin like an Iraqi
Foreign Minister if it doesn't make any sales?

I've talked with a lot of CBmall owners. The ones making
the most money are using proven techniques for affiliate
success. They do not rely on gimmick traffic.

Low quality = Low sales It's an immutable law of marketing.
So what does work? Are there free tactics that are
effective?

You bet. They take a bit of effort, but they can work
wonders. And once your project is done, you can reap
traffic for months or even years.

I'll be talking about several of these in the next few issues.
But here's one now:

http://www.CBmall.com/traffic/freetraffic.asp?storefront=stevencrwf

One of the best ways is to write reports. It sounds
hard, but there are systemized ways to do this and be
extremely effective.

Once written, you can offer them to people who
visit your site or you can get them on the search engines.

Fact is, techniques like this are what separates internet
marketers from SUCCESSFUL Internet Marketers. It's what
can differentiate you from everyone else.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Autoresponder Power

Today's we are going to dive a little deeper
into the power of autoresponders...


The Automatic Follow-Up Machine
===============================================================

==================================================
The Automatic Follow-Up Machine -- Why It's
Essential To Your Online Business, How To Create
An Effective One, And How It Can Easily Double ...
Even Triple Your Profits!
==================================================

Hi:

We discussed a little about autoresponders in the
last lesson. But let's dive in a little deeper and
learn how you can use these powerful tools to
close more sales, work less, and overall, make
more money.

I discussed how autoresponders work, but let me
quickly review...

When you set-up an autoresponder you write
messages that you "load" into it. You set these
messages to go out whenever you like. One can go
out immediately after someone subscribes. And
then, you can set-up your autoresponder to send
out messages at a predetermined time.

For example, I might set up my autoresponder like
this...

Message # 1: Delivered immediately
Message # 2: 2 days after previous
Message # 3: 3 days after previous
Message # 4: 2 days after previous
Message # 5: 2 days after previous
Message # 6: 1 day after previous
Message # 7: 3 days after previous

You just set-up the messages, create subject lines
because they are sent via email, and then
determine how often you would like the messages to
come to your subscribers. With the above example,
the autoresponder would keep coming to a
subscriber over the course of 2 weeks, which is
about perfect. So you might want to use the above
schedule for sending out your own autoresponders
if it makes it easier for you.

Now how do autoresponders work to close more sales
for you?

The principal is simple...

A large majority of people visiting your website
WILL NOT buy the first time they visit. That's a
fact. Usually, it will take them 3 or more times
of being exposed to your offer before they decide
to buy, and it can take as many as 7 exposures,
hence the reason I recommend having at least 7
autoresponder messages.

It's like television commercials. You might not
really take note of what they're selling the first
or second time you see them. But soon, after
you've been exposed to the commercial over time,
you might start to really desire the product
they're offering.

Autoresponders work the same way. By being
delivered again and again to your prospects,
you're able to keep your offer in front of their
mind. So, in time, after multiple exposures,
they're much more likely to buy from you.
But that's not the only reason autoresponders work
so well.

They can also be used to build credibility in
yourself as an expert, which is important when
trying to establish your product as something that
can benefit customers. If they believe you know
your stuff, they're going to want to hear what you
have to say. And by using a course like the one
you're now reading, you can show how much you know
and that will be passed along to prospects so they
can believe what you're telling them and trust
your opinion.

Another way autoresponders help increase sales is
by keeping your product in front of someone that
might have not been able to order from you on the
day they first saw your order. Perhaps they're
waiting on their paycheck. Maybe they have a sick
relative and don't really have time to consider
your offer. There could be a hundred reasons why
someone might want to order, but will put it off
until later. And by using an autoresponder, you
can keep your offer in front of your potential
customers so that when they are ready they won't
forget about your offer and they'll have an easy
way to access your sales page again online.

Hopefully the reasons above are compelling enough
to motivate you to start using this powerful tool.
They really can increase sales dramatically, and
no web-based business should be without one. So
take a little time to learn how to use your
autoresponder. To not use your autoresponder is
like leaving your ferrari in the garage, week after
week, and month after month. Dust it off and start
using it today!

Until Next Time,
Keep Moving Forward-

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Building Your List

Today we are going to cover some of the basics
of list building...


Building Your List
===============================================================

To start, let me unveil some of the mystery
surrounding list building and give you a basic
understanding of how it works.

First, you'll need an autoresponder. Are you
familiar with these little wonders? If not, let me
tell you a bit about them to get you up to
speed...

Autoresponders are "machines" that can be loaded
with messages that you write, or you hire someone
to write. In fact, the message you're reading
right now could be sent to you using an
autoresponder. It does everything automatically.

Whenever someone sends an email to your
autoresponder from their email address, the email
address they use is automatically added to the
autoresponders list manager. This is simply a list
of ALL the people that have ever sent an email to
your autoresponder.

Now with an autoresponder you can send out a
message whenever someone sends an email to the
machine. Or you can choose not to. It's your
choice. But what's important is that you're able
to collect and keep all of the email addresses of
people that have signed-up for your autoresponder.

But the first challenge you're going to run into
is how the heck can you get people to sign-up into
your autoresponder, right?
Worry not....

================================================
Here's How To Build A Strong, Hungry, Ready To
Buy Email List of Subscribers That Want To Buy
What You Throw In Front Of Them!
================================================

Well, the best way is to give the potential
subscriber something for free. For instance,
you can offer a free report. These are great
because they don't cost you a dime when you send
them out, because everything is online.

So what you want to do is figure out what type of
list you want to build. Your list should be
targeted, meaning everyone signing up on it has a
common interest. So if you were to create a list
of dog lovers, you could have a report titled
something like, "10 Things You Must Know About
Your Dog's Health That Your Vet Will Never Tell You!"
Then, you know that everyone signing up for your
free report is interested in the health of their
dog, meaning they're a dog owner.

So what you would do to start signing up
subscribers is this...

1) Create a free report on a subject that has a
broad interest, but not too broad. For example,
"dog owners", "gardeners", "moms", etc.

2) Write a letter that offers the free report and
create it as a webpage.

3) Get an autoresponder. But it's very important
that you make sure the autoresponder service you
choose has a "broadcast" feature which allows you
to send out an email to everyone on your list at
the same time.

4) Then, set everything up and get the word out
about your free report offer. You can use
solo ads, PPC search engines like Google
Adwords, Safelists, and even let people know
from your main website if you have one.

So how does the "broadcast" part come into
play?

Well, you go and search for products people on
your list will like. Dog owners would be
interested in buying health care products, toys,
etc., all for their dog. But what you want to do
is find products that have an affiliate program
attached to them so you get paid a percentage of
each sale you make. That's how you'll make your
money.

Now after finding a product you like and signing
up for the affiliate program so you'll get paid
each time you make a sale, it's time to write your
broadcast email.

Simply put, your email needs to describe the
product and tell your subscribers why they would
want to buy it. Simple enough, right? Then you
just include your affiliate link in the email
message so when someone wants to order, you get
credit (and paid) for it.

Then you "load" your email, hit the "broadcast"
button, and sit back and wait for the orders to
come rolling in.

But remember, you'll have best results -- and make
the really big money -- when you have a large list
of people receiving your broadcasts. So it's
essential that you put a lot of effort into
growing your list as large as possible. In fact,
when using this money-making secret, it should be
your primary focus.

And that's it in a nutshell. Hope you enjoy.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Jeff Mulligan Speaks

Today we have a special guest. Jeff Mulligan, the owner of CBmall (a site that provides 15 different ways for ClickBank affiliates to earn income on thousands of popular InfoProducts) talks about credibility.


Jeff Mulligan
===============================================================

Where is Your Phone Number?
by Jeff Mulligan (C) 2006

There is probably a major problem lurking on your sales
page right now. And it could be hurting your profits.
Experts agree that one of the most important factors in a
successful website is credibility. This frequently
translates into the credibility of the site owner. People
are more likely to buy from somebody they believe in.
Is your website as credible as it could be?

People judge credibility by many subtle factors. Does the
design of the site look professional? Is the site well
written? Are there typos and grammar errors strewn
throughout the site? Is the author believable? Does the
author have experience in this market or with this product?
These are all important factors.

We also know that a strong guarantee is a key part of a
successful sales page. Taken one step further, the reader
needs to believe he will actually get a refund if
requested. And herein often lies a major inconsistency.
Look at your sales page and ask yourself: Who is standing
behind the product? What do you provide for contact
information?

If there is only an e-mail address, or worse yet, no
contact information at all, then you do not have a
believable guarantee.

If you want someone to believe that you stand behind your
product you need to be reachable. Put your complete
contact information on your web site. I'm not just talking
about an e-mail address. Consider adding your snail mail
address and even, dare I say, your phone number.

At first, I worried about using this approach. I feared
getting calls at all hours of the night. I worried about
getting overwhelmed. But, I reasoned, I could always remove
the phone number if it became a problem.

Turns out, having my phone number on the site is a
blessing. I have made dozens of sales because I have been
available to answer one or two simple questions from a
prospect. I now look at each telephone call as an
opportunity to help someone solve their problem and,
frequently, earn their business.

I have received numerous comments from customers saying
that one of the reasons they purchased is because they can
tell there is a real person standing behind this
business. The fact is, I only get about one or two phone
calls a day. And my sites have thousands of visitors every
day.

In summary, take a look at your own sales page or contact
page with a critical eye. Do you look like just another
anonymous web site? Or is there a person there; ready,
willing and able to help. The answer to these questions may
have a lot to do with your conversion rates.

At the very least, test putting your phone number on your
web site. Even if your web business is part time, with a
good voice mail system you will sound professional and you
can return phone calls when you are able. Try this
credibility improvement. And see if it doesn't improve
your sales.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Ad Writers Block

Today, the ultra-successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, talks
about "Ad Writers Block".

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Curing Ad Writers Block


You're running a fairly successful business but it requires you to constantly write ads to keep it going. Why? Because on the Internet, ads get old very fast. Once somebody has seen the same ad a certain number of times they reach a point where they become immune to the ad. That's why ads have to be freshened constantly.

So what happens when you sit down to write your weekly or monthly ad and all you can do is sit down and stare at a blank piece of paper or a blank computer screen? Nothing is coming. You couldn't write your name and address if you tried, let alone write an ad.

What do you do?

Well, there are a couple of things you can do. The first is easy. The second is also easy but something that very few people think of. Hopefully, after you've read this article, you'll have a couple of decent ideas for handling writers block.

The first thing you can and should do, is look at your ad writing from a different perspective. I'm not talking about trying to write a different kind of ad or ad style. I'm talking about looking at the ad itself from another point of view. Primarily, the point of view of the customer or potential customer. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were looking for this particular product or service what would YOU want to see in the ad? What assurances would you need to be given in order for you to take a chance and make a purchase? Sometimes we have to walk in another man's shoes before we can understand what it is that makes them either buy or not buy something. Just by doing that little thing alone, you have a very good chance of writing an ad the likes of which you've never written before. It may just turn out to be your best yet.

But if divine inspiration doesn't come to you, there's always another method you can use to come up with a new ad.

Go to your old ones.

If I just lost you, let me explain.

Over the course of time that you have been promoting your product or service, you must have certainly written a few ads that got you a decent amount of sales. Then after a while you noticed that the ad didn't get you any sales anymore. Well, there's a reason for that. The ad itself was still good. The problem is that is was overused.

So how does this ad help you now?

Simple. You need to go back to the ad and reread it. It's probably been a while anyway so it's doubtful you know what's in it. After you reread it you can do one of two things. If the ad is not too old then you can take parts from it that you know are good and come up with a new ad from it. But, if the ad is very old (and this is where you don't have to do any work at all) you can simply rerun the ad.

How's that possible? Didn't the ad already stop working?

Well, yes and no. It may have stopped working 6 months or even a year ago, but one year later, nobody is going to remember that ad. So, if you rerun the ad, there is a very good chance that you'll have some decent results with it. Try it some time.

There you go. Two great ways to get rid of Ad Writers Block.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Summer Sales

I'm not sure if he is right, but today Steven Wagenheim, Creator of the Honest Income Program, talks about "The Summer Sales Myth."

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

The Summer Sales Myth

You hear it from marketers all the time. "Well, it's summer, so things are going to slow down." We hear it so much that after a while we actually buy into this myth. But did you ever sit down to think why we even believe it to be true? What do we base it on? Where are the supporting facts? Well, we're going to take a look at some of these so called "facts" and then I'm going to personally blow this myth right out of the water with my own statistics.

The main reason we believe that summer is a slow sales time is because of the weather and the fact that many people are off from work and going on vacation.

Well, here's the main problem with theory number 1, the weather.

The summer months, July and August, are not warm everywhere in the world. There are actually some places where July and August are not much different from January and February. And in other places, it's hot all year round so what's the difference?

What about theory number 2? People going away on vacation.

Who do you know besides school teachers that have the whole summer off? Last time I looked, your typical office job didn't give people 2 months off once July hit. Maybe 2 weeks, after you've been working 2 years plus, but not 2 months. And for those few people who are off for the summer, how rich do you think they are that they can afford to just sit around on their butts and do nothing? Many of these people actually look for part time summer jobs. This is a perfect time to pitch your biz op to them.

Think I'm kidding? Well, then this is where I get to use a few of my own personal stats to blow this whole summer theory out of the water.

Let me start off by saying that for one particular business I run, I average 22.97 sales per month. So if this theory holds any water at all, my summer months should be considerably less than the rest of the year. Okay, so let's look at my sales for July and August for the years of 2003, 2004, and 2005.

July 2003 - 25 sales
August 2003 - 27 sales

July 2004 - 19 sales
August 2004 - 15 sales

July 2005 - 28 sales
August 2005 - 26 sales

In 4 out of 6 months I had more sales than my average sale month for this particular product. And none of my summer months were totally horrible. I still averaged a sale every other day in August 2004. Some people would be happy to do that during their best times.

The point is, don't buy into the summer sales myth. If you use good advertising sources, write good ads and market everyday, you can make sales no matter what time of year it is.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Targeted Knowledge

Hi:

Really, I think the most important quality that an Internet Marketer needs to have is the willingness to continually learn and improve. No one program or ebook or person, has all the answers. So it is very important to always be on the lookout for quality materials that will help you solve problems that are keeping you from the level of success that you desire.

Perhaps you know very little about list building. But you know that this is something that you need to learn how to do to take your business to the next level. Maybe you need to learn how to improve your copywriting. Perhaps you want to learn how to make sales by calling people. Maybe you want to learn how to promote your own website.

And the list goes on and on... I know, it can be so overwhelming. It seems like there is no end in sight. The trick is to take it step by step. Ask yourself the question: What is the most important thing that I need to learn right now to move my business in the right direction?

When you come up with the answer or answers, start looking for potential solutions to your problem or problems. Yes, this will cost some money. But a good education does cost some money. So invest some funds every month in learning targeted knowledge that will help your business become more successful.

On that note, if you are interested in affordable, step by step, comprehensive online business training, you can get it at the site below.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Equation

Today Steven Wagenheim, Creator of the Honest Income Program, talks about what it takes to be successful online.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Consistent Work = Consistent Results

Hi:

A lot of people ask me a question, that with all my success, I find very difficult to answer. The question they ask is, "What does it take to become successful?" I really had to sit back and think a bit before I could give an honest and accurate answer. And then, a friend of mine asked me to write an article on the same subject. Again, I had to sit back and think. And finally, after all that thinking, I realized just what it was that was responsible for my success. And the thing that surprised me most of all about the answer I came up with is that it wasn't any ONE thing. It was a number of things. Quite a number of things. Well, I put all those things together and this article is the end result. I hope these tips help. They are not in any special order.

One thing you have to do, of course is come up with an idea of what you want to do. And that doesn't mean hop from one program to another. It means picking ONE thing and working at it, whatever it may be. It's hard enough making ONE program work without trying to make several programs work.

Another thing you MUST do, especially if what you are doing involves selling or recruiting, is to work on your communication skills, primarily your ad writing. If you can't effectively communicate your message to people what do you think the chance is of them buying your product or joining your program? Effective communication is 90% of the battle.

It's important that when you're writing ads and sending them out that you track these ads in order to see which ones are working and which ones aren't working. Not every ad you write is going to be a winner. I have written my share of stinkers, with all my success. An ad tracker is critical to say the least.

Then of course there is always the actual places you advertise. Aside from email advertising there's message board advertising, traffic exchanges, Google Adwords, and a number of other things. You need to test them all and see what works for each. Some methods you will find, through trial and error, work better than others. Make a note of what works and what doesn't. Learn from your failures as well as your successes.

Also, don't be afraid to try a different tactic. Fear is a terrible thing and can paralyze us. What's the worst thing that can happen if you write a really outrageous ad? Nobody buys anything? That can happen even with a "safe" ad. One of the most crazy ads I ever wrote got me sales for a whole month until it finally got so old that everybody had seen it. If I never wrote it, I'd never have made all those sales.

There are two things though that are probably more important than anything else. The one is your worth ethic. You MUST consistently work at your business everyday. You can't say to yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow." That's one day shot, which means it's one day where you lose potential sales or momentum. You have to be consistent. In other words, either you do it right or don't do it at all. Doing things half way will NOT get you half way results. They will get you no results or close to no results. The Internet is a jungle and you MUST be prepared to give it 100%, 100% of the time.

And probably the most important thing you need to do in order to be successful is to learn from people who ARE successful. This doesn't mean they are smarter than you or better than you. It just means that they have figured out what it takes to be successful online and if they're willing to share these things with you then you'd be a fool not to learn whatever you can from them, even if it doesn't come free or cheap. Free gets you just that, nothing. Anything worth having is worth paying for. One of the best ebooks I ever bought online, several years ago, taught me most of what I know. The rest I learned on my own. But this book gave me a big boost. So the $97 I paid for it was well worth it, and the gentleman who wrote it has become a good friend of mine. Another excellent book I got cost me $19.95. This gentleman made it so that I made my first dollar online. He is also now a very good friend.

The reason I bring this up is because in addition to all I've just discussed, I realized that there was something else holding people back from success; a solid game plan. Well, I've taken care of that with my own book that I put together for people who are literally broke and can't afford much expense when first starting. This 3 step plan that I developed WILL start you on your way to success. No, it won't make you rich overnight or even close to it, but it will have you earning money for the first time in your life if you haven't already.

If you're interested, the link to the site is in my signature. I promise you that you won't be disappointed. If you need to read what others have said about it, here's a link to an independent forum of people who have already purchased the book and have nothing but great things to say about it.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Stan Stuchinski's Concepts

Hi:

As time passes and you become a more skilled and confident Internet Marketer, you will appreciate the concepts that Stan reveals in his ebook more and more. At first you will follow his plan. Later on, if you keep at it, you will most likely follow your own plan. But your plan will simply be another expression of the solid concepts that the Big Dogs ebook teaches.

For example, the concept of Reverse Advertising can be applied in numerous different ways. Hosting FFA sites is just one way to apply it. Another way that you can apply it is to purchase solo ads at responsive safelists. These ads are sent to the contact email addresses of the entire safelist. This can be a very powerful form of reverse advertising.

The C.H.I.P. concept is probably one of the most powerful ones that Stan teaches. It also can be applied in many other ways. At its most basic level, it is simply killing two or more birds with one stone. You could apply it by placing short, two line ads above or below your main ad, like this:

15 Powerful Ways to Create Autopilot Income
http://tinyurl.com/ffpnw
---------------------------------------------------------

Little teaser ads like this can be very effective. Combining them with your main ad, can get you more bang for your advertising buck.

Of course, tracking your ads is something that you will apply to all of your campaigns. It is what will tell you when you have discovered a hot market. It is what will eventually enable you to formulate a marketing strategy that is your own personal creation.

So, as you see, the concepts in Stan's ebook are the fundamentals of effective Internet Marketing. They are the building blocks that will allow you to build the business of your choice. So, my advise to you would be to learn them well. Follow Stan Stuchinski's plan until you are ready to start making your own plan. But always, always follow the concepts that Stan teaches.
They will not lead you astray. They are a sure guide.

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Exclusive Interview

In this letter something special. An Interview with"Mr. Consistency"...

===============================================================

An Interview With Mr. Consistency

Not too long after I started promoting one of my programs I ran into a guy, promoting the same program, through one of his ads. I started reading the ad, for some reason, and I quickly realized that this person was not your normal Internet marketer. He was different to say the least. Very outspoken and not afraid to call it like he sees it. Anyway, I couldn't resist. I had to talk to him to find out a little about his background and what makes him tick. His name is Steven Wagenheim and I promise you that after you are done reading this you will have a very good idea of just who this quirky guy is. For the purpose of the Interview I'll refer to myself as Steve and Mr. Wagenheim as MC (Mr. Consistency)

Steve - I have to admit I was a little hesitant to do this Interview.

MC - Why's that?

Steve - Because after reading your ads I wasn't exactly sure what was going to come out of your mouth.

MC - (laughs) I guess I can be a little out there when I write ads, but trust me, I'm nothing like that in real life. Okay, maybe I'm a little like that.

Steve - Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.

MC - There's really not much to tell. In spite of my celebrity status, I'm a more than ordinary guy. I'm 48 years old, with a wife of 21 years and a daughter who's about to graduate high school number 1 in her class. I'm very proud of her. I wish I was that smart when I was her age. I'd probably be doing something else right now.

Steve - How did you get into Internet marketing?

MC - I lost my job. How else? Isn't that how everybody gets started? I don't know. All I know is that if I was still making $50,000 a year as a QA Manager I wouldn't be doing this. I needed work and since nobody would hire me I figured this was my only shot.

Steve - Were you successful right away?

MC - (laughs) Absolutely! The hundred dollar bills just came pouring from the sky. What are you kidding me? My first 5 months I worked at this paid typing scam. You know, post ads, get paid for all replies. I made $28 in 5 months. I was in danger of losing my home had it not been for my wife.

Steve - So when did the success start?

MC - It took a long time. Heck, I joined 142 different programs since that first one. Most of them closed up within a few months. I worked 7 days a week, 14 hours a day. I was worn out, discouraged, disgusted and about ready to quit. The only reason I didn't was because I had no other options. I was too old to get a job anymore. Anyway, like I said, it took a long time but eventually, with some help from a few nice people, I started making some money. My first month of "success" I made $303. I know that's not a lot, but it was more than I had ever made before. After a few months I was earning over $1000 a month. I was finally on my way.

Steve - While you were making $1000 plus a month, did you consider yourself successful?

MC - At first, no, not really. I was still at poverty level. But then when a friend of mine who I had met on the Internet made me realize that the kind of money these programs were promising wasn't possible without an enormous amount of time and money invested, and explained why, I realized that what I was making was pretty darn good.

Steve - You're currently making a lot more than that though. When did that start?

MC - It took a few years to get where I am now. And yes, it was and is an awful lot of work. Anybody who plans to make a substantial amount of money online better be prepared to sell their soul to do it. It won't just happen.

Steve - The book that you came out with. It doesn't promise you'll make a lot of money.

MC - No, it doesn't. It shows you what you can realistically expect to make within a reasonably short amount of time with a reasonably small effort. If you want to make more than this you better be prepared to get a ton of education and invest quite a bit of time and money.

Steve - Was it hard making the book?

MC - It was almost impossible. I had to first find a few programs that I had confidence in. Remember, I joined 142 different programs. Most didn't make it a year. The 3 in my book have been around for a long time and I can honestly say that if you follow the instructions in my book you will make what I say you can make. It's not a fortune, but it's real and relatively easy.

Steve - What about for people who want more than what they can make with your book?

MC - Well, it can be done, but like I said, they have to get educated and be prepared to put in a lot of time and spend a considerable amount of money. I don't mean to sound cruel but people who want to make money online and not invest anything are dreaming. It's not going to happen. I learned that the hard way.

Steve - I get the feeling that you're trying to say that making money online is hard.

MC - Making money online can actually be very easy, especially with 2 of the 3 programs in my book. Making a lot of money online is what is hard. But there is no reason why every person who wants to make money online can't make at least $500 a month with no problem at all.

Steve - I have to ask. Where did you get the title "Mr. Consistency?"

MC - It came from the program owner of one of the programs I promote, the same one that you promote. He calls me that because every month like clockwork I get my 25 to 35 sales. I'm not always the top sales person, but I'm always up towards the top of the list. Been there for over 3 years now. Honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. I just follow the instructions of the program and do it everyday like a job. I think that's why many people fail at this stuff. They don't take it seriously.

Steve - If you could give somebody one piece of advice as far as trying to make money online, what would it be?

MC - There is no one piece of advice. There's too much to learn. There's knowing how to recognize a legit program from a scam. It's knowing the difference between good advertising methods and bad advertising methods, and believe me, there are more bad than good. It's knowing how to write an ad. It's knowing how to make a schedule for yourself and stick to it. It's learning that you need to be honest all the time. Lies will catch up to you. I can go on and on. There is so much to learn it is literally mind boggling. While I'd love to personally teach everyone, I can't. I have put up a web site that is free. It's a training center. It's not going to make you a lot of money by itself but if you read everything that's there, commit yourself to working 14 hour days and be prepared to go through the most nerve wracking time of your life, in 6 months to about 2 years you'll start to make a considerable income if you have a great product and promote it correctly. Or you can just get my book and make a few hundred bucks a month to start right away.

Steve - Doesn't sound like too bad an idea. What's the URL of your training center?

MC - It's http://clix.to/homebizhelpcenter

Steve - And what's the UEL for your book?

MC - It's http://tinyurl.com/ovshx

Steve - Well, it's been a real pleasure talking with you today. I'm sure my readers will realize that you haven't sugar coated anything and have given it to them straight.

MC - I hope so. As hard as I've made it sound, it's actually even harder than that.

Steve - Not a very encouraging thought. Mr. Consistency, thank you for your time today.

MC - My pleasure. Hope I was able to at least help somebody.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Google Giggles

Today, the ultra-successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, talks
about Google Adwords.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

3 Steps to Success with Google Adwords

Hi:

Google Adwords can be a real pain in the backside. I will be the first one to admit that. It isn't bad enough that their system for setting up ads is so complex that you need a math degree just to figure it out. Add to that the competition from other sites and keyword bidding wars and you are doomed before you even start unless you've got a budget the size of the national debt.

Or maybe not. Maybe there's a way to actually beat Google at their own game and everyone else in the process. Actually, there is a way and it's only by a fluke that I found it.

A friend of mine, from another program I was involved in, started his own business. He wanted to promote certain non Internet marketing products that he knew he wasn't going to be able to promote through the usual means. So he turned to Google Adwords. At first, he didn't have a clue and it showed in his results. It was constant testing and retesting. But eventually, and not without a substantial investment of time and money, he figured it out. He started cranking out products to sell on Google, each one more successful than the next. I had to find out what he was doing.

Oddly enough, he told me. Actually, he included it in a book he wrote. It was the best $47 I ever spent in my life. His book was responsible for me being where I am today. But there was one problem with it.

It was way too long and too complicated for the average person to get through. Believe me, I had days where I wanted to throw it out a window. So I called my friend up and told him he needed to simplify this whole thing.

He did one better.

He set up an affiliate program for his products where you simply sign up, no cost, pick the products you want to sell and set your campaigns up on Google. He's already done all the keyword stuff, all the cost per click calculations on what you should spend, written your ads, etc.

In other words, he's done everything.

Actually, he's gone one better, and this is where I think he's out of his mind. He helps pay for you ads. You heard me. That bill you get from Google each month? He helps you pay for it. He'll send you a check to help cover part of your advertising expense EVEN if you don't sell anything. I asked him why and he said it was because he wanted his affiliates to be the happiest on the Internet.

Trust me, they are. I should know. I am one of them. I haven't had a month yet where I didn't make money with his products. I literally do NO work after set up.

Okay, so how do you take advantage of this insane person and his offer?
Simple. It comes down to 3 steps.

Step 1 - Get my book. It contains his program and 2 other programs that I promise will make you money. The one is actually a paying job. That's right. You do the work and you get paid. For just a couple hours work a day you'll make about $500 a month.

Step 2 - Read my book. Everything you need will be in there. If you have any questions, I'm just an email away.

Step 3 - Follow the instructions for joining the second program. You can do the other 2 if you like but if working a job doesn't thrill you, just skip to program 2.

Believe me when I say this, my friend has made using Google Adwords so simple that you'd have to be brain dead not to make money with his system.

Here is the URL for my book.

Trust me on this. It will be the easiest money you ever made
online.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Fights Dark Side

Today Steven Wagenheim, Creator of the Honest Income Program, discusses negativity.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Overcoming Negativity

Hi:

Well, you're all set to go. You've just joined the hottest affiliate program on the Internet. You've been hearing stories of people making 6 figure incomes with this baby and you've got your mind made up that YOU are going to be the next Internet millionaire. Except there's just one problem. Well, actually there's more than just one problem, but there's one problem you have that's going to sink this whole ship of yours.

Negativity.

I'm not talking so much about yours, though heaven knows you're sure to have your doubts, especially if you've failed at everything else you've done up until now. After all, success breeds success and failure breeds, well, more failure, especially if you let it get to you. And there is no better way to let negativity bury you in a pool of despair than through other people's comments. You're going to get them from ALL over the place; your friends, your family and the people you're trying to sell to and recruit.

Your friends and family are going to tell you that you're wasting your time and that you'll never amount to anything trying to make money on the Internet. The people you're trying to sell to are going to ask you how much money YOU'VE made with this "great" program. Kind of hard to get around this one when you've just started.

Well, there is a very easy way to get around ALL of this negativity. It's so simple that you're going to wonder why you didn't think of it yourself.

Know what it is?

When you join this great affiliate program that's going to make a killing for you all you have to do is make sure before you even start it that you've ALREADY had success on the Internet doing something, ANYTHING.

Well, you're in luck. I have just the thing you need. I have recently put together a book of 3 programs that will give you that guaranteed income you need to show some credibility and then a great affiliate program that you can confidently promote because if anybody gives you any negativity at all, you can just shove the paychecks you'll receive from the first program in their faces. That will shut them up FOR GOOD.

If you're interested in finally getting out of that pool of
despair, this is the site that will get you on your way.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Curve Ball

Today, the ultra-successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, talks
about reverse psychology.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Reverse Psychology: What is it? Why does it work? And how to use it...

Hi:

Reverse psychology. It doesn't work on people like you and me, cause we're too bright to be taken in by that kind of hocus pocus. Reverse psychology is for all those "simple minded" people who don't know when we're playing with their minds. And since you're bright enough not to be taken in by reverse psychology, you're also bright enough to know that you don't need to read an email telling you what it is, why it works and how you can use it to get better results with your ad copy. So you can probably stop reading here since what comes next
is stuff you already know.

Interesting that you're still reading. Believe it or not, you've just been a victim of reverse psychology. Oh I know, you're probably going to say that I just got your curiosity going about what I had to say, and that's fine. The bottom line is, I got you to keep reading. And with some people, it's very easy to do.

So what is reverse psychology? Without going into a big medical explanation, it's the process of telling a person one thing when you really mean the opposite. For example. You're trying to get your 7 year old to eat his spinach. He makes a face. So after trying to explain to him how the spinach is going to make him strong, you say something like, "Oh, you don't want to be strong like Popeye. What for? It's not like you have to worry about some bully picking on you and getting beat to a pulp. And besides, if that should ever happen we've got plenty of medical insurance." Your kid may not immediately jump all over that spinach but there's a good chance that he'll at least give it a taste.

To use reverse psychology effectively, you really have to be trained, which I am certainly not. There are some good courses online that you can take. Getting into somebody's head is not easy, especially when you don't know what makes the person tick. Fortunately, when it comes to Internet marketing and people who are trying to make a living at it, you at least have some idea of the person's motivation, and it's simple. They want to make money. As a Big Dogs affiliate, and sending ads to people who are posting FFA ads and not getting any results, you know something else about that person. You know that they're NOT making money. This is really all the ammunition that you need.

So, how do you use it to promote Big Dogs to a prospect? For starters, let me point out that this is probably not something you want to use in all your ads. Eventually, even the simplest of people will realize what you're trying to do. So use this tactic sparingly.

There is no hard and fast rule for where in your ad to use reverse psychology. You can use it in your opening, your closing, wherever you're trying to make a point.

For example, let's take this opening.

I'm writing to you today because of the ad you've posted. I know it's probably bringing you a ton of responses and you're making a fortune from them, which means you really don't need to hear what I have to say, but maybe you'll want to read this anyway. If not, no big deal and I'm sorry to have interrupted your day.

There's more going on here than most people realize. For starters, there's the comment about them making tons of money with these ads. They're not. Then there's the comment about them not having to hear what you have to say. They do. And then finally, you apologize for interrupting their day. You're NOT sorry.

Now, let's take this closing.

I know everything I've just said to you doesn't really apply. I know you're probably having more success than I'll ever have in my wildest dreams, even with my $4,000 a month income. So I realize you didn't need to read any of this. Certainly YOU must be the exception. YOUR ads ARE being read. It's just everybody else, and that makes you one very lucky person. So if you know somebody who isn't having your luck, pass this site along to them. I'm sure they can use it even though you don't need it.

I've actually tried this closing in some of my ads. The results weren't knock 'em out of the ballpark, but each time I used this tactic I always made at least 1 sale. So it does work. Of course there's more to your ad than just this one paragraph. The rest has to be well constructed. But this little twist may just be the thing that pushes your prospect over the edge.

Especially if he's one of those simple people.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Nutty Closers

In this letter the master copywriter, Steven Wagenheim, shows
us how to get our prospects running to our sales site.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Using Outrageuous Ad Copy To Close The Deal

Hi:

Okay, you're heading for the home stretch. They've opened your email because of your off the wall subject, you've gotten their attention because of your off the way ad copy, so now it's time to close the deal with your, you got it, off the wall close.

This is where I have learned to shine. I always save the best for last and the best is usually in your face, you don't like it, too bad kind of copy. I take no prisoners.

So, how do you close your prospect?

Well, remember what you are trying to sell as an Alpha Dog? You're promoting the best advertising system on the Internet. So be confident. You're the expert. Your prospect is the amateur. He needs YOUR help. You DON'T need his.

There are many ways to close a person with the insane.

You can simply tell them that if they don't get this information they might as well get a job grooming cockroaches because they'll NEVER make a DIME on the Internet...

Or...

You can ask them a lot of questions like, if they want to be broke for the rest of their life? If they want to end up in McDonald's flippin' burgers and saying "You want fries with them?"

Or...

You can close with the attitude that it's no skin off your nose if they want to go on posting stupid ads. You'll still be making money and they'll still be looking for table scraps in the local dump.

And the list goes on and on. Reverse psychology works well too. Like telling them you're sorry for dumping all this on them because obviously they have no desire to be successful or they would have stopped posting these ads when World War II ended.

Be wild, be crazy, be something. Just don't be invisible. Make these people remember you. If you start getting hate mail then you're doing a good job.

I want you to start working on some closings to those ads you've been putting together.

In the meantime, if you want to get a hold of 2 weeks worth of sure fire closing ads that I personally have used to sell the heck out of Big Dogs ebooks, then you'll check out my site. If you think I am blowing smoke, I have been the most consistent Alpha Dog over the last 3 years.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Ad Madness

In this issue the master copywriter, Steven Wagenheim, shows
us how to keep our prospects reading our copy.


Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Using Outrageuous Ad Copy To Keep Your Readers Attention

Hi:

Okay, you've gotten your subject to open your email. Now what?

If your subject line was outrageous then your ad copy better be even more outrageous. The tone of the subject and ad have to match or something isn't going to sit right with your reader.

Imagine the subject line "Do You WANT To Make A Buck Or Not?" and I start if off with something like...

Dear Sir:

I am writing to you today because I would like to...

He's going to wonder if he's reading the right email. If you're going to start off with a subject that is a little bit on the quirky side then you better follow it up with something that is going to grab hold of your reader and not let him go.

Here is how I personally did that with the above subject line.

Hi:

I'm sorry if I am coming off as being rude, but are you out of your freaking mind? When are you going to learn that trolling around the message boards and classifieds isn't going to find you the goose that lays the golden egg? Posting FFA ads is going to get you junk email and a headache. Safelist advertising is going to land you in a gazillion auto cleaned email boxes that NOBODY goes to. Google Adwords expenses are going to eat you alive unless you know what you're doing and traffic exchanges are the biggest joke since Custer said "Over the hill, I think they're friendly Indians."

And then I just continued, pouring it on thicker as I went. I used outrage and humor and then threw in some facts so the person reading knew I wasn't just some lunatic. I'm a rich lunatic.

Bland ad copy is for your grandfather's generation, not YOURS. You need to shake people up. You need to make them feel SOMETHING. It can be anger, sadness, joy, excitement, whatever, but is MUST make them feel SOMETHING or your ad is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.

Jim Steinman, who wrote the songs for Meatloaf, used to run around his apartment banging on gongs while he was writing his tunes. Read some of his lyrics. Listen to this man's music. Trust me, he would have NO trouble keeping someone's attention while reading his ad.

That's what YOU need to do.

So, I want you to get out your favorite killer subject line that you just came up with and put a killer crazed ad to go along with it. Don't censor yourself. Don't be dull. Don't be boring. Don't be...Well, you got the idea.

In the meantime, if you want to get a hold of 2 weeks worth of killer Big Dogs ads that have made me a boat load of sales, you may want to check out my latest book. It's the best thing to hit Secrets Of The Big Dogs since the program first came out. If you don't believe me, ask Stan himself. He read the book and thinks it's darn good.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Title Madness

In this issue the master copywriter, Steven Wagenheim, shows
us how to get prospects to click on our subject lines.


Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Using Outrageuous Subject Lines To Get Your Ads Read


Hi:

They say a pretty package isn't everything, that the content is what's important. Well, that may be true, but if the package isn't attractive people aren't going to open it up to see what's inside. With email ads that is more true than you can possibly imagine.

The truth is, you can be the greatest ad writer in the world, but unless you can write a subject line that is going to get people to open up your emails you are pretty much dead in the water because if your emails are not opened then nobody sees your sales message. If nobody sees your sales message then you make no sales. I know that seems stupidly logical, but unfortunately, most people don't see the logic in it until somebody points it out.

So, what's an outrageous subject line? Well, just about anything can be an outrageous subject line. Picking one that's going to work, well, that's another story altogether. This is not an exact science. There is no one subject line that is going to get everybody to open your ads. I personally only use outrageous subject lines when I think of a really good one. I don't want to throw just anything together because my day's promotion as an Alpha Dog could end up dead with a bad subject. But I have used several subjects over time that have gotten some decent results.

Instead of throwing them at you, my goal is to get you to think outside the box. If I give you a subject line, you advertise successfully for a day. If I get you to think outside the box, you advertise successfully for the rest of your life. The one thing you need to do in order to make this work is to not be afraid. The greatest millionaire of our time didn't get that way by playing it safe. Think of some of the greatest ad campaign slogans of all time. Some of them were pretty strange.

Some examples, off the top of my head...

Wendy's - "Where's The Beef?"

Burger King - "Have It YOUR Way"

Nike - "Just Do It!"

I think you get the message. Just a few words, some which changed the way we speak. Just a few words can say so much.

The same is true with a subject line of an email ad.

As an Alpha Dog the first thing you need to do is sit down and think about why you're prospect is going to open your email. He's going to open it because he's posting FFA ads and getting a bunch of junk email and no sales. He's frustrated, he's confused, he doesn't understand why he's posting all these ads and getting NOWHERE.

Use that as ammunition. Capitalize on it. Grab him by the throat and MAKE him open up your email. Depending on how mean you want to get (I have been known to get pretty mean) you can really get someone angry enough to open up your email, if for no other reason than to hit reply and tell you what a jerk you are. That's okay. At least then you can write back and tell this person that you may be a jerk but at least you're making money. What's HE making?

So how do we do this? Well, I said I wasn't going to throw subject lines at you but here's a few to get you thinking in the right direction. These are subject lines that I can't use anymore because I've used them to death. But they WILL get you thinking.

Try THESE on for size.

"Hey, having fun being BROKE?"

"When are you going to chuck those WORTHLESS ads in the trash?"

"I make $$$...Do YOU???"

"Get Rich QUICK = Go Broke QUICKER"

And one of my favorites that I used that got me 3 sales one day...

"Martians Have LANDED And They've Stolen YOUR Ads!"

I actually used that one as a joke one day. I wanted to see if I got even one click to my ads. I got 34 in 2 hours and 3 sales. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop.

Fear is a terrible thing. Don't be afraid to try something off the wall. Don't be afraid to fail. You can't REALLY succeed until you've experienced failure.

So get out your thinking cap and come up with at least 3 outrageous subject lines. And, if you want to learn the most effective subject line for Alpha Dogs that you will EVER see, it's contained in my Honest Income Program book along with 2 weeks worth of ads that have personally gotten me sales and a number of other things that you may want to check out.

A New Easy Way to Create Income Streams

Hi:

Looking for more streams of income?

I know I'm always on the lookout for a new income stream
that can generate profits without a lot of work.

When I ran across CBmall, I knew I had found a program that
hits the nail on the head.

Most affiliate programs have only one way you make money.
You send them traffic, and they close the sale (hopefully).

The best of them will add another stream with some
follow-up emails. That's much better.

But CBmall actually has 15 different ways to make you money.

This is one powerful revenue engine.
http://tinyurl.com/ffpnw

the work. All you need to do is drive some traffic. The

thousands of the top-selling, most popular products on the
ClickBank network. These are the best of the best. They
got there because they convert browsers into buyers. And
they are all available in one place. You get the power of
this system by promoting one simple URL.

* TONS of support and marketing ideas to help

* They do all the support

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Answers Tough Questions

Today Steven Wagenheim, the only guy I know that can write a killer ad in fifteen minutes, talks about answering the tough questions.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Answering The Tough Questions

Hi:

Okay, you've sent out your ad that contains your email address and phone number and somebody actually writes to you or worse, calls you on the phone. They have questions. How do you answer them?

The number of possible questions you could be asked is infinite, so obviously there is no way I can go over them all here. But there are going to be some common ones that you will get that you better know how to answer or you're going to lose the sale.

How much does it cost? - You NEVER put the cost of something in your ad. So if they haven't gone to the web site yet to look at the product or service then they haven't seen the page that contains the price info yet. So how do you answer this? You DON'T tell them how much it costs.

You ask them the following question. "How much do you think something like this SHOULD cost if it's everything I said it was?" If they quote a price that's higher than the actual price you then tell them. "Well, it's only $X." They'll be surprised and most likely will become a buyer. If they quote a price that's lower than the actual price you simply say this to them. "Then no offense, you're dreaming. There is no way you're going to get something of this quality for that price. If you think you can I suggest you do some shopping. You'll see that I'm right." At this point one of two things are going to happen. They'll either say, "Okay, I'll do that" and hang up. Or they'll continue asking questions which means the price hasn't turned them off just yet.

Can you GUARANTEE it will work? - There are only two ways to answer this. If it's a product like, say a spot remover and it comes with a guarantee, you can tell them that you can guarantee it. Most likely the product comes with a money back guarantee so if it doesn't work they can get their money back. But what if the product is a method for making money on the Internet. Nobody can guarantee Internet marketing success even though so many products claim such guarantees or your money back. They do this because they know that most people will not bother asking for a refund. And if they do ask for a refund the company doesn't care. They make more than enough money off of the unsuspecting new marketer. Those are the people those companies take advantage of. So in your case the answer to the question is simply "No, I can't guarantee it but if you don't get the results you want you can get your money back within x number of days."

What success have YOU had with this product? - Another simple answer, though this really should have been covered in the ad. Simply tell them your experience with the product. Be sincere and don't over hype it. If anything, downplay it just slightly. If they say to you that it doesn't sound like a glowing recommendation just tell them you didn't want to make it sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread. You wouldn't believe a word of it. I'm just trying to be honest with you. Trust me, at this point you practically have the sale.

Will YOU help me if I need help? - This is not as easy an answer as it seems. If you're selling web hosting as a third party then the truth is you CAN'T help them with their hosting issues. They have to go through the hosting company. Tell this person that but also tell them that if they can't reach the hosting company for any reason or there is a problem that is not being resolved that you WILL contact the hosting company on the customer's behalf. In other words you can only do what you can do. Just make sure you at least do that much. Sometimes just knowing you're there to talk to will sometimes be enough. Get used to it. Customers are sometimes your friend for life. At least for the life of the product or service. Of course if the product is your own then you absolutely assure them that you will help them all you can, even as far as set up and use of the product. This is where you need a lot of patience.

Can I see documentation of your success? - If you have it, send it. If you don't, tell them you don't actually have anything you can send but you can send them testimonials by other customers. Don't fabricate proof. If they are that skeptical that they need to see something in writing the chances of them becoming a customer are slim to none anyway. Don't knock yourself out over this one.

So, how does this thing work? - Strange question? Not at all. Many things you will sell on the Internet are information products such as, "How To Cure Allergies." Trust me. You're going to get the wise guy call you up and ask you how these allergies are cured. What's used? They're trying to get you to TELL them what's in the informational product so they don't have to buy it. When you see this coming there is only one way to handle it. You simply tell them that if you told them that they wouldn't have to buy the product and that would be bad business on my part. They'll laugh, say okay, tell you they'll check it out and at that point it's 50-50 if they'll buy. Don't sweat it. People who try to con you out of your legitimate product are not worth your time. Be polite but don't waste a lot of time with them.

I've been lied to so many times. Why should I believe YOU? - This is probably the hardest question to answer and if you think it won't be asked you better think again. I find the best way to answer this is to take the focus off of yourself. Remind them of the product guarantee. Tell them if they're not happy they can get their money back. Tell them that if you weren't on the level you wouldn't have given them your personal phone number to call. Eventually your sincerity, without actually answering the question, will convince them. You'll get other questions but these are about the hardest you will have to answer. You handle these and the rest should be relatively easy.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Builds Credibility

Today the super successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, discusses credibility.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Building Credibility

Hi:

Credibility is one of the most critical factors that will affect your online business success. Being credible is simply the perception of being trustworthy and believable. Why do people buy brand name goods and services on the Internet and in the off-line world? One of the key reasons is that the brand represents a level of quality that they know and trust.

So how can you build credibility on the Internet for your business? A key factor is being consistent. People are more likely to trust a business or person who acts in a similar manner most of the time. For example, if your publish a newsletter to your customers or potential clients, aim for similar quality in each issue. Also, be consistent in your style of writing. Publish on a regular basis, irregular publication schedules cause confusion in the minds of your readers.
Consistency applies to every aspect of your business. Don't change your guarantee terms every couple of weeks. Ensure that all your products or services consistently meet the quality and value standards that your are promoting.

Credibility is something that is earned. Therefore, you need to give of yourself to get trust back in return. There are many ways to do this. Some software businesses offer free trial periods so the customer can try before they buy. Others offer a "shareware" version for people to trial. This process enables the potential customer to check that your product will do the job you say that it will.

Sharing your knowledge is a useful way to build your credibility. This can be done through monitoring discussion lists and boards that your potential customers frequent. Answer questions that they pose. Be a regular contributor to the list so that people come to know and respect your knowledge.

Making outlandish claims in advertisements or on your web site can harm your credibility. Telling the truth is always the best way. Ensure that your products or services provide more value than promised. Take the time to walk in your customers shoes before writing your ad copy or your web site promotional material. This will enable you to clearly state benefits that your potential customers are looking for in a way that they will find believable.

Testimonials can be a powerful way to generate trust in your product or service. A testimonial is a statement from a happy customer saying how your product or service helped them. Set up systems to gain unsolicited testimonials whenever you can. When you gather testimonials to publish on your site, ensure that you have permission to publish them. Also, never make up testimonials to boost your credibility as more often than not you will be caught out and be discredited.

Don't just state what your qualifications are on your web site or in your promotional material. Instead, state how your qualifications can benefit your potential customers. For example, state how your expertise will provide the solution your prospect needs in a way he or she will understand.

Following sound business practices will help your credibility also. This includes ensuring that your business address and phone numbers are clearly shown on your web site. Also, ensure that you are contactable via phone and email and respond promptly to each contact. Have you had phone messages or email that were never responded to? How did that influence your perception of the business?

Prompt delivery of what has been ordered also helps build the right impression of your business. So too does quickly responding to claims on your guarantee. Efficient business procedures that are focused on providing customer satisfaction will always help your business image and credibility.

Strong credibility takes a long time and much effort to build. It can be destroyed quickly and sometimes can never be regained. Have you noticed that once a person or a business gains a bad reputation it can be extremely hard to change? For your business to achieve its full potential, it is important that you set standards and live by them so that you are constantly building your credibility.

Remember that each thing you do in your business will affect the image of your business. Being focused on providing solutions to your customers, providing consistent quality and value for money, and being accessible will all help you achieve the credibility your business needs to succeed.

Sincerely,

Steven Wagenheim

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Spots Scams

Today Steven Wagenheim, Creator of the Honest Income Program, discusses scams.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

Spotting Scams

In this ever growing land we call the Internet, the number of make money opportunities that spring up on a daily basis is staggering. You couldn't possibly count them all. The problem is not so much the number but how to tell if a business opportunity is legit or not.

And that is the topic of this article.

So how DO you spot a scam? Unfortunately, the scammers have gotten so good at this game that it is almost impossible to tell if a business is legit or not, at least not from just reading the sales page. However, there are some things to look out for and do that may give you some insight into the opportunity itself.

1. Take a good look at the sales message itself. If the company makes some crazy and wild claims that you can invest $10 and make $30,000 in just 30 days, the odds are better than 2 to 1 that this site is a pure scam just out to take your money. Even if it isn't and this person is just dreaming, there is no way you can make that kind of money that quickly with just a $10 investment. Best to stay away from sites like this.

2. A legitimate sales page will list the owners name, email address and sometimes even phone number. If you see a sales page that has no way to contact the person and no contact information on the page at all then most likely this is a scammer. These people don't want you to be able to find them after they take your money. Again, stay away from these sites.

3. Look up the site at whois.com. If the contact info is either unavailable or doesn't jive with the contact info on the site then most likely the site is just a cover and the contact info on it isn't real at all. Most of these sites you will find are from overseas companies with high rates of fraud.

4. If you see a site that advertises a "job" opportunity that you have to pay for, this is absolutely a scam. No legitimate job opportunity online will make you pay for the job itself. They'll give you some BS about only wanting to give their sales package to serious people. Don't fall for it. Jobs should not have to be paid for.

5. Take a look at the sales page's testimonials. If you notice the photos on the page are people you have seen on other pages then most likely this is a scam. Faked testimonials are a very common practice. Most of them will contain just a first name and last initial with no way to verify the person is real.

6. Wild claims of huge income the person has made with this product or service. Many proofs of income can be easily faked. So take these claims with a grain of salt, especially if they look too good to be true. If the contact info on these screen prints is blacked out then most likely these are scams. True income proof will contain all the information.

Hopefully by following the above procedures you can minimize your chances of being taken in by a scammer.

Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim's Angle

Today, the one and only Steven Wagenheim, A.K.A "Mr. Consistency", talks about the different angles that you can use to sell the "Secrets Of The Big Dogs" ebook.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

Today's topic is what slant to use to sell the "Secrets Of The Big Dogs" ebook.
There are actually several ways to go about doing this.

1) This is the one I use. Simply tell people that the ads they are posting to promote their business are not seen, that the method of advertising they are using is worthless. I find this very effective, but it's not the be all and end all.

2) Coat tail marketing. Write ads geared towards the hottest
programs on the Internet. Back when Chris Gibson was burning up
the Internet doing this he would use subject lines like this.

Attention all SFI members.

And then he would go on in his email that no matter how good your business is you need leads. And then he would tell about how good "Secrets Of The Big Dogs" leads were, of course without actually mentioning the name in the email. You NEVER do that. Anyway, he made a fortune selling Big Dogs to people promoting other programs who needed leads. Of course to do this you will have to research what the hot programs are. This will take some time but will be worth it in the long run.

3) Use the slant of how you can get 10 checks a month while promoting only 1 program. This slant appeals to people who want to make as much money as they can and do as little work as possible. They are out there and this can be very effective if you make your ad convincing enough. I used to do this but honestly I prefer the straight forward "your ads are worthless" approach the best. It doesn't generate the quick sale like the other methods will but over time people will realize their ads aren't doing the job and they will buy. That's why I don't have any knock 'em out of the park months but I do sell consistently. To me that is the most important thing.

Steven Wagenheim

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Tracks Them

Today, the one and only Steven Wagenheim, A.K.A "Mr. Consistency", talks about the importance of ad tracking.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

This time I want to cover ad tracking. I can't stress how important this is for several reasons. First of all you want to know which ads you've written are working and which ones are not.

The only way to do this is to use a different ad tracking URL for each ad. Using the same URL for each ad won't tell you anything about the effectiveness of the ads. I know this may seem like a lot of work but in the end it will pay off.

The best way to explain how to do this is with an example of exactly what I do. As you know you can't use Adminder's URL directly in your ads any longer. So what you're going to have to do is one of two things.

(1) Sign up with a URL tracking service that will let you have more than one tracking URL. Preferably as many as 31, one for each day of the month.

(2) Your other option is to get your own domain name, get a hosting service, write your own tracking system and use it. This is actually what I have done being a web programmer. This may be too much work for you so you might want to stick with option 1.

Write your ad and assign it to your first tracking URL. See how it does. If it does not do well then scrap it. If it does do well, make a note of which ad it was including the tracking URL and put it aside for future use. Do NOT delete the ad.

Don't run the ad longer than 3 days even if it does well. Ads get old fast. Write a new ad at least every 3 days. Each time you see an ad do well put it aside. Do this until you have 31 ads that have done well for you. Why? Because now you NEVER have to write another ad. Just run these 31 ads, 1 for each day of the month, each month from that point on. Running each one only 1 day they will never get old. People won't remember an ad from one month to another if they only saw it for 1 day.

There you have it. You have 31 ads that made sales, you never have to write another ad, and you have good ads to run for as long as you're promoting your business. You should make sales consistently.

Just make sure you assign each ad to a different tracking URL. The reason for this is you still want to see if at some point an ad loses its effectiveness. It shouldn't. But if it does you only have to replace 1 ad instead of having to write a new one every 3 days. It's still a lot less work in the long run.

Sincerely,
Steven Wagenheim

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Closes Sales

Today, the ultra-successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, talks about handling responses that aren't yet sales.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

This month I'm going to go over handling responses that aren't yet sales. You will be surprised how many sales you will get if you can only get people to call you.

One of the keys to getting sales regardless of what it is you're promoting is to gain a person's trust. There is no better way to do this than to give them something for nothing. What I do is offer people a free report on Internet advertising techniques that DON'T work, such as posting to FFA sites, classifieds and submitting to search engines. Once people sign up for this free report I then have them on my mailing list. The report goes out in the form of an auto responder series that I set up in Traffic Wave, one of the CHIP programs. If you are a member of Traffic Wave you can do this as well. If not, it is one of the best of the CHIP programs and I recommend it highly.

The other thing I do is offer people proof of my success. At the beginning this will consist of screen prints of your Adminder clicks to show people that you are getting replies to your ads. As you get sales you can then show screen prints of your Clickbank statements. As your income increases and your PayPal account grows you can then show screen prints of your PayPal statements. This process doesn't happen over night. It takes time to build up credibility but once you do you will see that the sales start to come a lot easier.

Now, the question becomes this. How do you get this info to these people? What I do is put the following in all my ads.

If you'd like proof of my results so far just send an email to:
swagen2167@aol.com
Put "SEND INFO" in the subject
I will send you proof of my income, and an email series
explaining why posting ads doesn't work.

You will be surprised how many people will write to you. When they do, have a form letter ready that you can send to them. You don't want to write the same thing over again and again since you will be sending the same info to everyone. In it give them the URL of your free report and also the URLs of your screen prints. Yes, you will have to have these posted online. If you don't have a web site you can get free hosting from another CHIP program called Kiosk. Are you starting to see now how these CHIP programs offer more than just good leads? They offer great tools to help you with the rest of your marketing.

Also make sure you include your phone number in your emails. You'll be surprised how many phone calls you'll get. Many people are converted to sales because they've heard a real voice on the other end of the phone.

If you do the above things like clockwork you'll be surprised how consistent your responses will become.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim Proves It

Today, the ultra-successful Alpha Dog, Steven Wagenheim, reveals a secret to success that is NOT in the Big Dogs ebook, or at the training site.

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

Today I will show you that proof Of income is EVERYTHING...

Imagine this scenario. There's a knock on your door, or perhaps the doorbell rings. You go to open it and in the doorway stands a man wearing your typical salesman's hat, carrying your typical salesman's briefcase. He opens up with his sales pitch. "Madam, if I can have just 5 minutes of your time, I'd like to show you the latest design in chairs that are the most comfortable you will ever sit in." You then ask if he's brought one of these chairs with him. He says no, but he's brought photos. Skeptically you ask him how a photo is going to prove
that the chair is comfortable? His answer? "You'll just have to take my word for it."

Right. Now, imagine another man knocks on your door selling the exact same chairs except he's brought one with him. He lets you sit in it. Well, it's so comfortable you could just about fall asleep in it. You're sold and you buy the chair.

It was the same chair that the other guy was trying to sell you. So why didn't you buy from him?

No credibility. No proof. Where's the proof? Where's the beef? OH where oh where indeed.

Now, imagine that you've just joined the hottest new program that everybody claims is going to make you a gazillionaire. You jump right in, pay your member fees and start to promote it. You're even using the Big Dogs system to do it so you know your ads are going to be seen. Sure enough, they are and you get a phone call or email. You are asked just one question.
"How much money have YOU made with this great program?"

Well, you can lie and tell them some crazy figure. But most likely they're going to want to see some proof of this, like maybe a cashed check or a PayPal or Clickbank statement. Except there's a problem with doing that. You don't have any because you've never made a DIME on the Internet. So lying isn't going to do you any good because they'll see you for what you are, a liar.

What if you tell the truth? What if you simply say, "Well, I just started so I haven't made anything yet, but I KNOW that I'm going to. This program is GREAT!"

"Uh huh. Yeah, sure," comes the response. Along with a "Why should I believe you? Give me ONE reason?"

You just sit there with your mouth hung open or your typing fingers frozen.
You can't think of any. God, if ONLY you had some proof of income. Some proof that you have made money online.

I can hear you already saying, "Wait a minute, if I can't make sales without proof of income don't I have to first make sales to GET the proof of income? And I can't do that because..."

It's an endless cycle. It is the ultimate catch 22 and there is NO getting around it. Without credibility, or proof that you've made money with an opportunity, your chances of success are slim to none.

Well, I'm going to put an end to this catch 22 for you. If that sounds like I'm about to pull a magic act, I'm not. And the ironic thing is, my solution does NOT require you to do ANY of the following:

Recruit members.
Sell a product.
Join a HYIP.
Join some stupid auto surf program that pays pennies.
Join some stupid paid to read email program that pays less
than pennies.

Or do ANY of the things that YOU can possibly think of.

It is so simple that when I tell you what it is you're going to slap yourself up the side of the head for not thinking of it.

If you want to know what the answer is, it's in my book "Honest Income Program."In this book you will not only learn how you can EASILY get the credibility you need but also turn it into a GUARANTEED income JUST for doing the work.

Think I am pulling your chain? I am not. I've been doing this since September of 2005 and just for a couple hours work a day I'm making over $500 a month literally just for typing. If you're curious, this is the URL to my book.

http://tinyurl.com/ovshx

Everybody who has gotten it has raved about it. Why? Because it solves all the problems of this Internet marketing credibility nightmare and more. If you want to learn more, you have the URL.

Better get some proof soon or your marketing career is going to begin when you are 100.

Sincerely,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Steven Wagenheim and Horse Manure

Steven Wagenheim is a good friend of mine and a fellow Alpha Dog. He is one of the most consistent Alpha Dogs ever.

He has generously agreed to share some of the tips and strategies that he has learned over the years with us. The next few letters will spotlight his secrets to online success. Okay, Steven, the floor is yours:

Steven Wagenheim:
===============================================================

Hi:

This month I'm going to concentrate on ad writing, which is THE most important piece in all of this. Without a good ad you just can't succeed. You also need a good product or service. If you try to sell horse manure online I don't care how good your ads are. You WON'T be successful.

Let's start with the ad writing...

Whatever it is you are selling you MUST do the following in your ads.

1) Be sincere. Do NOT load up your ads with a lot of hype. People are sick of hype. Give them the straight facts without painting a rosy picture. Be honest.

2) Explain to them how your product or service will make their life better. People buy things not because they want them but because they think they will have a better life from the things they buy. Tell them why their life will be better, how your product or service will help THEM.

3) Always include your phone number in your ads. People like knowing they are talking to a real person and not some Internet robot. Make sure they know you are a real person.

Now let's get to your product or service.

1) You can promote the Big Dogs ebook or the Honest Income ebook. Both are cheap, and satisfy a need, In the case of Big Dogs, effective advertising tools. In the case of Honest Income Program, a real paying job and a 3 step system to making a decent income online.

2) You can promote your own product or service. Only you can answer the question of how viable that is. Again, you must answer these questions. Is it relatively inexpensive? Does it satisfy a person's need, solve a problem, etc.?

Ultimately what you promote is up to you. Give this a lot of
thought as it will be one of the most important decisions you make.

Sincerely,

Steven Wagenheim
Creator Honest Income Program

Thanks, Steven, for sharing your insights. I know that every
Alpha Dog appreciates your willingness to share your tips.

Until Next Time, Happy Marketing,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Top Dog Reveals Killer Secrets

Okay team listen up--

I have finally found a totally easy and effortless way
to train my Big Dogs downline to succeed at the
program.

I am talking about step by step instructions.
I am talking about a Big Dogs Autoresponder series.
I am talking lots of killer ads.

I am talking about the most consistent Alpha Dog
telling you exactly what to do to get consistent results.

I am talking about exactly what to do, when to do it, how
to do it, and why it works!

I am talking about you ALSO having a totally easy and
effortless way to train YOUR Big Dogs downline to
succeed at the program.

I am practically talking about what you have always
dreamed about: NOT having to figure out
ANYTHING for yourself.

All you have to do is go to the site below:

http://AlphaDogSecrets.com

to get the brain of Steven Wagenheim (Stan calls him
"Mister Consistency" and his "War Horse")
implanted on you shoulders--so that you can get the
same results that he gets.

I am sending you there because I bought his ebook
and it blew me away. I wish that I had it when I
started the program--it would have saved me so much
time and money.

This is IT folks, the missing ingredient in the program.
This is what you need to finally SUCCEED.

I believe this so strongly that I offered to pay for the
book out of my own pocket, for any members of my
downline that could not afford it.

After you buy the ebook and are blown away, I suggest
that you make the same offer to members of your downline.

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: TrafficWave Money Machine

This letter deals with the power of one of the C.H.I.P programs--TrafficWave!
If you haven't found out by now, of all the C.H.I.P programs, TrafficWave has the potential to make you the most money. In fact, it is worth promoting all by itself. Yet, one of the major problems with it, is that it has a free trial offer. This is Good because it makes it easy to recruit new members, but it is Bad because most of them will do nothing but inhabit your downline. So, finding a way to convert these "freebie" members, into paid members, is crucial.Enter the Matrix Buster system. It is an insanely creative solution to the "freebie" problem. This is how Brian Rooney, the founder of TrafficWave describes it:

"Using the Matrix Buster system means stepping up to the plate in a big way and building your organization quickly with paying and productive members. We simply use a little "trick of the trade" with the compensation plan to get you in profits faster than you ever imagined possible. In a nutshell, you agree to pay for the first month's subscription for at least three new members each month. Why? Because of our 100% Fast Track Bonus, you receive all of that back on the 15th of the following month. So by spending $53.85 to get three new Active Members, you get $53.85 in Fast Track Commissions the next month. The deal you make with those three is that they must do the same. They must pay for at least three new Active members each month. They will also get that $53.85 back in Fast Track Bonus money the next month. At first, it looks like you're just trading. But you are really building a massive downline of paid members and that means you will be quickly earning a very large (and quickly growing) monthly income."

Why does this work?

It works because it motivates those "freebie" members to get off
of their backsides and start recruiting members. They get going because they see that it just doesn't get any easier than recruiting new members by offering to pay for their first month and then getting all that money back the next month. They get going because they see that this is a real opportunity for them to finally make some money online. They get going because they get excited.

So, I invite you to check out the Matrix Buster system yourself. It is working for me and it will work for you. Just login to TrafficWave and explore the articles on Matrix Buster in the Training Articles section.

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Solve Problems to Make Sales

Solve Problems to Make Sales

In Previous letter's we talked a little bit about copywriting. This letter
will expand our exploration of this remarkable ability. I want to simplify
and demystify this craft so that you will quickly become very skilled at
pumping out killer ads.

Both inexperienced and experienced marketers have problems
that they need solutions to. Your job, as a copywriter, is simply
to show them that your offer is the solution to their problem or
problems. Sometimes, your prospects don't even know that
they have a problem; for example, they may not know that
posting to FFA sites is a waste of time. You may need to educate
your prospects to show them that they have a problem. And then,
of course, you will show them that you have the ultimate solution
for their problem(s).

Solve problems to make sales or get signups. That is what
copywriting is all about. Never forget this basic concept.

Since you are solving problems, there is no need to attempt
to sell anything. All you need do is tell your prospects about
your solution to their problem. Leave the selling to car salesmen.
It is far easier and more effective to "tell" than it is to "sell".

Okay, got the idea? Great! Below you will find examples of
some of our Big Dog solutions. I copied and pasted them from
various ads. They should help you construct your own killer ads.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Best Times to Promote

Happy New Years!

Here we go again. A brand new year has arrived.
Forget resolutions, what are you looking forward to?
What are you going to do differently this year?
What things are you going to keep the same?
What big GOALS are you working on achieving?
What little goals are going to get you moving
towards your big GOALS?

How are you going to make your life better
this year?

I guess what New Years reminds us of is that, at
any given moment, we are only one decision away
from dramatically changing our lives, for better or
for worse.

So, my wish for you is that you make GREAT
decisions this year, big ones and little ones.

Achieving THAT will inevitably move you forward
towards achieving all your dreams.

Okay, back to business.

Let's get focused right away on our target market.
This is how Stan describes the market our crosshairs
should be focused on:

"Our target market (i.e. the business opportunity seekers market) consists of a person between the ages of 30 and 40. He (or she) has a spouse, 2 to 3 children, a mortgage and a GOOD job, but not a GREAT job. Oh, theyre paying the bills, alright, but they want more for themselves and their families. Remember, now, that this is the profile of the AVERAGE Internet marketer.

Obviously, there are people at the other ends of this "bell-shaped curve" the 17 year old kid still living at home with mom and dad, or the 76 year old retiree living alone working to supplement his retirement income. But the vast, vast majority of our target market fits the profile of what is often called the "average American family."

Great, now we know who we are trying to reach. So, next
we should look into when we should put-the-petal-to-the-
metal and go all out in reaching our target market.

Here is Stan's advise as far as when is the best time to pursue
our target market with unbridled ferocity and tenacity:

"Ah, but now we come to the biggest selling season of the year for us for Internet marketers!
Starting a few days after New Years Day itself, and continuing unabated for nearly six full months is that most GLORIOUS time of the year for marketing. After the extended Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years holiday season the thoughts of our target market now turn to more practical matters like making money! Yes, the period from January 2 (approximately) to July 4 is a wonderful time, with virtually NO major holidays or extended "time-off" periods to detract from our marketing efforts. There is a small "glitch" during the Memorial Day weekend (the last weekend of May), which is generally considered to be the start of the summer vacation season with most kids getting out of school for the summer sometime around the end of May or the first week of June. However, the American its-Summer-and-Im-gonna-have-fun mentality does not really kick in until July 4 - in other words, June is STILL a very, very good month for marketing."

That's right, you just heard it straight from the MAN himself! Right now is the best time of year to go ALL OUT with our marketing efforts. Now is the time to concentrate fully on growing our organizations by helping people succeed online.

We have the answers our target market needs. We have the solutions to their marketing problems. And we have an unbeatable price. For a mere 20 bucks we can show them how to shatter the door that is keeping them from succeeding at Internet Marketing.

All you have to do is present the benefits of our SOLUTION, add in your own unique perspective and excitement, and BAM, people will sense the truth and sincerity in your words and they will follow you. No, you don't have to have all the answers. No, you don't have to be a billionaire. All you need do is present the benefits of our SOLUTION to their marketing problems with confidence and excitement. It really is that simple!

So, my friend, now is the time to get serious about jump-starting your business. What do you want to achieve in the next six months? What do you want to achieve this month? What do you want to achieve this week? How are you going to get where you want to go? What do you need to change? What do you need to keep doing? What is the most important thing that you MUST do to make it where you want to go? I don't know what your answers to these questions are--only YOU do. But what I do know is that you are capable of achieving your dreams.
It is up to you to find the path that works best for you. You CAN do it!

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Learn This to Succeed

Happy Holidays to all! I wish all of you a joyful and safe holiday season. I have gotten quite good at digging up valuable information from the past. Below you will find some information written by Stan himself that used to be a part of the Big Dogs Training Site. As you all know, the effectiveness of your Ad Copy is critical to your success. For that reason, I have decided to send you some of Stan's advise on the matter.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Error # 2:

You're not using subject lines and ad copy in your sales messages that are DIFFERENT from everyone else!

I've said it once. I've said it twice. I've said it a hundred times. Ive tried to hammer it home until Im blue in the face..

If you want to be successful with the Big Dogs program or ANY program on earth! you must learn to write your own subject lines and ad copy!

If you want to achieve your goals, you must learn to write your own sales messages. There are no shortcuts there is no easy way. You MUST do it yourself! No Internet marketer who is a consistent winner ever uses the proven ads that are usually supplied by an affiliate programs Home Office.

Yes, the vast majority of affiliate programs on the Internet offer you tons of proven ads, and proven banners, and proven sales copy. And yes, they are proven to work proven for somebody else! But understand that while good quality programs never go out of style and never become saturated, ad copy DOES become saturated and on the Internet this happens very quickly. A proven ad is simply one that has already run its course and is no longer effective. YOU my friend, have to be different!

There is a very good reason why Madison Avenue advertising agencies are paid billions of dollars each year by companies to design new and different ad campaigns for them..

Good products never go out of style or saturate the market, but even the best of ads DO become saturated. Coca cola is Coca Cola is Coca Cola. It's the top selling soft drink in the world, and EVERYONE knows what it is. Yet the Coca Cola company alone spends millions each year on NEW advertising ideas. Even the most successful of ads eventually become invisible to the consumer, and new ad ideas must always be forthcoming. That wildly popular series of where's the beef! ads may have worked splendidly twenty years ago, but they would fail miserably if used today. Despite the fact that those roast beef sandwiches promoted in those ads are the same today that they were two decades ago.

I had a phone call recently from a gentleman who had just purchased and read the ebook. He had a lot of very good, very incisive questions, and it was obvious that he was an experienced marketer. Finally he asked if we had specific ads that we were required to use. When I told him that we did not, and why, he chuckled and said, Good! If we had been required to use pre-written ads, I would never even CONSIDER becoming an Alpha Dog!

The interviews with successful Alpha Dogs in Part V of the Training Manual give several examples of THEIR winning sales messages, and our article on Saturation in Part III gives additional pointers along these same lines.

Remember: If you ARE doing things EXACTLY as you should be, you WILL make sales!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stan's advise is as valid today as it was in the past and as it will be in the future. To really succeed we must touch people on a level that our competition does not. To achieve that we must use our own words and tell our own unique stories. When we express our unique vision of what Big Dogs is all about, we connect with our prospects and motivate them to discover for themselves why we are so excited. Our sincerity shines though our own, unique Ad Copy, and motivates our prospects to take real, concrete action to improve their lives.

Once again, Happy Holidays to all!

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Search for Killer Markets

First of all, I have dug up a Training Site from the past that you need to check out. Yes, much of the information is outdated, but some of it is priceless and timeless. Here it is:

http://web.archive.org/web/20041014221516/www.jwalkerweb.com/training.htm

I copied and pasted the following passage from the site. It worked in the past and it works today, and it will work in the future:

1. We use all the C.H.I.P's

2. We mail everyday

3. We track our ads through Adminder (some of you are using ROIBOT - which is fine)

4. When we are NOT getting response or Sales - We change our Ads - We Do Not Get Mad

5. We send our ebook buyers a "thank you/welcome" email.

6. We follow up with Everyone

7. We help those who are struggling

8. We constantly search for more ways to advertise.

So, please thoroughly check out the site above and add it to your Favorites, so that you can easily get to it whenever you need to.

On that note, let's look into number 8, "We constantly search for more ways to advertise."

A business is like a person, it needs to be in a constant state of growth. So, as marketers, we need to constantly be looking for, and testing new markets. The pace that we do this is entirely up to us. Some of us will move at a snails' pace, while others move like a cheetah. What is important is that we keep moving forward, rather than staying put.

One of the legends of the past is Tom Bell. Here is what Stan wrote about him some time ago:
"a hearty Big Dogs salute to Tom "The Admiral" Bell who, with 152 ebook sales in his first WEEK, is also our number one Dog for the entire MONTH!"

While I was surfing online, I came across an ad for a seminar in which Tom Bell would be participating. Here is the description of what he would be teaching at the seminar:

"How to change the sandbox. This a term Tom uses to explain how to capitalize on hidden profits where others are too short-sighted to see them. One way Tom has done this is taking a product that was proven in one marketplace and transferred it over to another one for big profits."

In my opinion, this is what is exciting about marketing. It is about finding new markets, that others have ignored, and then penetrating them, and being richly rewarded for your efforts. Don't get me wrong, there are more unproductive markets than productive ones. The trick is finding markets with good potential.

But, I think we are getting ahead of ourselves. As I wrote in a previous letter,
The first step is to follow Stan's plan to the letter. Doing this will allow you to gather valuable statistical data as you develop your copywriting skill. You may think that all of your ads are great, but Adminder and Clickbank get a vote too. They may, in fact, vote down most of your ads. But inevitably, if you follow Stan's plan, a handful of ads will rise to the top. These ads are your "Email Ads of Gold", as Chris Gibson calls them. They have a closing ratio of 2% or higher.

Once you have your handful of golden ads, you have the means to succeed at this program.
I think perhaps you may have missed what I just said, so I'll say it again.
Once you have your handful of golden ads, you have the means to succeed at this program.

Let me explain how you can do exactly what I am doing. Okay, now you have a few ads that have been tested and proven effective by the C.H.I.P. system. So what do you do now, lay them to rest forever? Don't even think about it! You have been diligently working on your copywriting for a reason--to produce ads such as these--ads that are capable of producing many, many, many sales.

Your test market has proven that these are killer ads, so now all you have to do is run them in other responsive markets, and you will make more sales.

Theoretically, all you need is one great ad. You would then, keep moving it to other responsive markets, and keep the sales rolling in. But in reality, having several great ads is a must. This allows you to rotate your ads--which lets you easily penetrate responsive markets with your campaign of killer ads. You see, launching several great ads into a responsive market quickly builds your reputation and credibility; this builds momentum for you, as your prospects begin to desire your offer more and more as their trust in you grows.

The trick is finding markets with good potential. You want to reach the same kinds of people that you are reaching with the C.H.I.P system. One responsive market that I discovered is reaching people in safelists by sending solo ads to their contact email addresses. Not all safelists offer this service, but some do.

When looking for markets to test, consider every clue you can find. Read the testimonials that other advertisers have posted. Are people marketing offers similar to yours using this service? How big is the list? Are the list members rewarded for visiting your site? Is the list growing? The main thing that you must consider is, are the people that I want to reach here or somewhere else? Are the claims too good to be true? Do your instincts tell you that this is a good market that other Alpha Dogs have not found? Like everything, you will get better at evaluating potential markets, with practice. So, if you can afford to, and you have some great ads, start getting your feet wet today!

On that note, it's about time to finish this issue--as I like to keep these letters short and sweet. But another thing I like to do is to save the best for last. Below you will find a list of the actual responsive markets that I have discovered so far. I have listed them based on the level of responsiveness that I am getting at the present time. #1 is the most responsive and #7 is the least responsive. Understand that things change quickly online. What works one week, may not work the next week. So please don't get mad at me if you don't get similar results. We all must experiment and test to discover what works for us. Here they are:

#1. DSA solo ads to 50,000 contact email addresses.
http://damnsmartads.com/contact1/50000.html

#2. BusinessWorldList 6-day Smart Ad Package. http://www.businessworldlist.com/smartadspackage.html

#3. HercuList Supra Ad to 33,000 contact email addresses.
http://www.herculist.com/SUPRA-AD.html

#4. Mad Vlad Solo Ad to 3500 contact email addresses.

#5. HercuList Muscle Ad (Top Sponsor Ad).

http://themadvlad.com/sponsorads.php

#7. Cash-Ad Campaign (Top SponsorAd).
http://cash4usafelist.com/members/cashadspackage.cgi?stevencrwfrd

I am sharing this information with you in the hope that it will help you rack up a bunch of sales and bring in whole packs of Alpha Dogs! Well, that's all for this letter.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Golden Key to Success

Just wanted to give you some of the "golden keys" to success in
the Big Dogs program. I learned this secret from Steven
Wagenheim. Ever heard of Industrial Espionage? You know,
when competing businesses steal secrets from their competitors.

Well, it happens because knowing what your competition is up to
can allow you to adjust your tactics and take their market share.
In other words, it happens because money is on the line and
learning your competitors secrets can put more money in your
pocket.

What does this have to do with anything?

Well, I am not suggesting that you should break any laws--but
wouldn't it be in your best interest to know what your competition
is doing? After all, if you know what they are up to, you can adjust
your tactics and take sales away from them.

You want MORE sales, right?

Well, then find out what Steven Wagenheim is up to, find out what
Stan Stuchinski is up to, find out what ALL your fellow Alpha dogs
are up to. AND find out what people promoting other business
opportunities are up to.

And here is another, bonus, "golden key" to success in the Big
Dogs program.

Walk in the same shoes that your prospects walk in.
Get inside of their heads. Do what they do. See what
they see. Experience their world--feel their feelings—
think their thoughts.

So let's put this all together:

(1) Find out what your competitors are doing.

(2) Find out what your prospects experience when
they blast their ad to every FFA site on the planet.

(3) Adjust your tactics so that your ad is a better
lure than anything else in the market.

HOW do I do all THAT?

That is the easy part:

(1) Get a free email account at yahoo.

(2) Post to every FFA site in the universe.

(3) Study your competition as you walk in your prospects shoes.
Pay particular attention to all the Big Dogs ads.
Which ones repel you? Which ones pull you like a magnet?

(4) Adjust your ad copy according to what you have learned.
Dominate your competition though your superior understanding
of the market.

Strange, isn't it? Who would have ever thought that Posting to FFA
sites is just as important as Hosting FFA sites?


To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: AlCOHOLIC Ad Writing Tips

Secrets of the Big Dogs: AlCOHOLIC Ad Writing Tips


That subject line got your attention, right? And
it REALLY relates to what this letter talks about.
What is that? You need to learn how to motivate
people to buy your stuff right now. And you DO
NOT have time to study and practice for YEARS
under some MASTER of this mysterious craft?

Well, lucky for you, and me, this is not necessary.
All we need do is write like real people who have
had a few drinks - NO, not so many that they are
babbling incoherently, but enough so that they
loosen up and let their emotions flow freely.

Remember, people buy based on emotion, not on
reason and logic. So loosen up and speak from
the heart. Use your own, unique, way of speaking,
your own, unique, experience, your own, unique,
story.

You want to captivate people with your story
your hopes, and dreams, your failures, and successes.
You want for them to identify with you, and feel as
if they are right there, with you, experiencing the
same things that you have. Remember, they are just
like you; ordinary, living, breathing, feeling, beings,
with wants and needs.

If you are like me, than what you need is not a lot
of explanation, but some excellent examples. Well
you don't have to look very hard to find killer copy.
The copy at the Big Dogs sales site has closed
approximately 80,000 ebook sales since May of 2001.
And it continue to close lots of sales today! About
1000 copies are sold a month.

There is no mystery as to why this copy just keeps
on closing sales. It perfectly illustrates the concept of
Alcoholic Ad Writing. Stan doesn't hide his emotions--
or his failures--he draws you into his story. Because
he comes across as a very real person--just like you
or me--his copy is hard NOT to believe!

But what is truly impressive is the copy in the actual
ebook. It has resulted in the creation of an army of
affilitates, many of which sell the ebook itself! Dont get
me wrong, copy itself can't sell an inferior product in the
long run. The product or service, as well as the copy
must be top-notch to sell a product year after year.

If you are serious about learning how to write KILLER
ads, then study the Big Dogs ebook like it is a copywriting
manual. Although it wasnt created for this purpose, I can't
think of a better example of the kind of Ad Writing style that
you can quickly learn and use to dramatically increase the
closing ratio of your Ads.

No, I am not telling you that you have to write like Stan to
write great ads. At least not in a literal sense. What I am
saying is that you should "open" the sale with the same
kind of emotions that Stan expresses at the sales site. I
am talking about what it felt like to fail online and succeed
online--or what it felt like to find out why you were failing
online, and to discover how to change your situation. You
get the idea? Don't leave the emotions out--pour them in!

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Expanding your Market

Last week I made 10 sales. And I see no reason why I can't
double that amount, or triple it. In fact, I don't see that
there is any limit on how many sales I can made in a week.

Let me explain . . .

The market for what we offer is H--U--G--E. So big that I
can't get my mind around it. So, what I am getting at is
that you can make more sales than you dream is possible.

Let me show you how (before you start thinking
that I am full of IT).

Step 1: Follow Stan's plan to the letter. Doing this will allow
you to gather valuable statistical data as you develop your
copywriting skill. You may think that all of your ads are great,
but Adminder and Clickbank get a vote too. They may, in fact,
vote down most of your ads. But inevitably, if you follow Stan's
plan, a handful of ads will rise to the top. These ads are your
"Email Ads of Gold", as Chris Gibson calls them. They have
a closing ratio of 2% or higher.

Step 2: Either go to http://www.testhoopla.com and subscribe
to the "Safelist Report", or do a Google search with the words
"safelist report october" to see if you can find the report online.
For example, if the month is June, type in "safelist report may".
In other words, type "safelist report" and then the name of the
previous month. Testhoopla actually tests safelists to find which
ones are the most responsive. This is valuable information that
you need to have.

Step 3: Now that you have your list of the top 20 safelists, you
need to do a little research. Go to each of the safelist sites and find
out which ones allow you to purchase solo ads (to the contact email
addresses of their safelist members). Also, find out which ones allow
you to purchase short top sponsor ads.

Step 4: Next, purchase solo ad submissions at the safelists
that offer this service. Send them your best "Email Ad of Gold."
Of course, track your results. You should get a very good
response, and make at least 2 or 3 sales at each safelist you send
your ad to. Whatever the case, repeat the process with your
other ads, to see if this system will work for you. Only send
one ad a week, to make sure that the lists stay responsive to
your ads. Also, rotate your ads, so that your response rate
stays high.

Step 5: If this system begins cranking out consistent sales for
you, start experimenting with purchasing top sponsor ads. Of
course, track your results.

So, now you know some very simple Steps to Success. One
important thing to remember is that you should not skip steps.
Each step is a logical progression from the last step. You must
first crawl, and then walk, and then run, and then fly, and then
reach orbit, and then leave the solar system, and on and on
and on forever. The key to all of it is following Stan's plan to the
letter. If you do that, you will build a solid foundation that will
enable you to take your hopes and dreams and build a successful
business out of them.

There are far more markets out there than you will ever be
able to reach. So, my friend, the sky is NOT the limit. There
simply is no limit. You can just keep on expanding your voice.
It's up to you and you alone how far you want to take this.
I don't know about you, but I am excited about "playing"
in such a massive "playground."

To Your Success,

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Beyond Ad Copy Basics

Okay, now that I have good leads, how do I
motivate those leads to buy my stuff?

Now that is a good question.

Just about anyone can locate good leads with
a little research and testing. But very few people
ever figure out how to use words to convert leads
into sales.

The inability to solve this problem sinks many
aspiring netpreneurs before they get far from shore.

This need not be. Let me show you how to keep
sailing when others sink.

Realize that the C.H.I.P. programs are
your test market. They let you know all about your
advertisements. Clickbank and Adminder in
particular act as harsh critics of your work.

If your headline doesn't put your prospects into a
headlock and force them to read your letter,
of course, you will have few clicks and zero sales.

How do you write a great headline? Easy, tell your
audience something that will either help them make
money, or help them stop wasting money.

Remember, time is money too. These people
don't know you, care about you, or want to read your
email--unless you can help them succeed online. So
give them what they want.

My best headline is simply,
"##### Special REPORT on FFAs #####".

It works incredibly well because of several reasons:

(1) People instantly understand that learning more about
FFA sites may lead to them making more dinero, or
may lead to them losing less dinero.

(2) It talks about something that interests them--FFA sites.

(3) It doesn't try to sell them anything.

(4) It creates a tremendous curiosity in the readers to learn
what in the world is so"special" about this "report"?

Are you starting to get it?

The headline must be a powerful lure and hook all rolled
into one. It practically forces your prospects to start
reading the body of your ad.

If the body of the advertisement doesn't captivate your
audience as you reveal to them the benefits of your offer--
if it doesn't emotionally stir them and make them emotionally
connect with you, as a genuine and sincere friend who is
trying to help them out, your readers will quickly get bored
and click away forever. Again, you will have few clicks and zero
sales.

This is where you either tell your story (as nothing is
more powerful than a testimonial) or you tell a story. And as
you tell the story, you must shatter the boundaries between you
and your reader, and let them feel the emotions of your story
or the story that you tell.

People love stories, but keep in mind that they are busy, so you
must keep on track and reveal to them how they can make
money with your offer. Here is an example of everything I am
talking about. It is a passage from my best letter,"##### Special
REPORT on FFAs #####":

"I am so excited about being able to help people make it online, I am about to BURST.
Nothing feels better than being able to help someone who is walking the same path that you are.

All of us need targeted traffic. Without it, our programs and products collect dust.
Whether you are a novice or a professional, this information can help you reach the next level.

It has changed my life for the better; and I am only one of many success stories."

Get the idea?

The body of the letter takes the momentum that the headline
generates, and accelerates it. It gets your readers blood pumping
as they identify with your story. They start to feel that this story
can also be theirs--that they also can succeed with your offer!

Now that you have generated all of this excitement, you must
channel it and convert it into real, concrete action. It is time to stir
your readers to action. This is the last part of your letter. It must
drive your prospects to your sales site.

But that is not enough. They must not only practically be in a
hypnotic state in which they are susceptible to every "suggestion"
you plant in their mind, but you must plant the correct "suggestions"
in their mind so that they believe every word that your sales site says.

Am I telling you to deceive people? Not at all. Simply let them know
that they can trust the information at your sales site.

If your call to action does not properly emotionally prepare your
readers to read your sales site and believe every word that it says, you
may very well get many clicks, but you will get few or no s-a-l-e-s.

I believe that many marketers fail to understand the importance of the
call to action. They may think that the call to action is simply the URL of
your site. I strongly disagree with this line of thought. There are simply
too many competing promotional letters out there, bombarding your
target market, for you to get away with using anything other than a killer
call to action.

You must pack a serious punch with this part of your letter, or you will be
unable to distinguish yourself from your competition. Remember, people
easily forget things. But the thing that they will most likely remember is
the last thing that you tell them. So make those words count and you will
dominate your competition.

Here is my call to action for "##### Special REPORT on FFAs #####":

"I invite you to go to the same site that I went to when I was looking for
the same answers you are.

I ask that you take your time and really absorb the information there. It is worth your time.
Then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Or you can even ask the author of the
ebook.

His contact information is at the site and yes, he actually responds!

Okay, so now you have it; how to best craft the Headline,
Body, and Call to Action of your email letters.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, remember this, it is possible
to succeed at this program with a handful of great letters. I
will show you how in a future article. Whatever path you
choose, understand that it will take some study, some time,
and some practice to improve your copy-writing ability.

But developing this skill is well worth the effort. It practically gives you the
power to convert leads into sales at will and to move forward at the pace
that you choose.

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Killer Ad Copy

Alright, Ill cut to the chase. Below you will find the most successful Big Dogs ads that I have used. They should help you get the feel for what works when it comes to selling Big Dogs.

Marketers Marketing to MarketersHA, HA, HA!

########################################

Marketers Marketing to MarketersHA, HA, HA!

Laugh all you want. Many Internet Marketers are laughing all the way to the bank!

Reverse Marketing is a very effective tactic to increase your sales. It is infinitely more effective than what you are doing now. Ok, Ive held back long enough. Time to get personal:

Hello, This is a PERSONAL reply to your posted AD. Do you think you worded your ad right? WHO CARES! NO ONE SAW IT! Does this make you MAD? Well, it should! You are being cheated. Cheated on your time. Your time is your life, and if you're wasting time, then you're wasting your life. Okay, I did not mean to be so harsh. I just want to get my point across to you.

I do care about your situation because you are JUST LIKE how I used to be. I can guarantee you that posting FREE ads is not working for you, and you are not getting sales or signups from it! No one will ever see your ad that you posted to my FFA page except a robot and maybe yourself. This is not the way you market successfully online.

How do I know you are not doing your marketing properly? Because I was doing the EXACT same things that you are doing, such as using Ad Blasters that post to 'thousands of advertising networks,' or manually posting free ads. FREE ADS DON'T WORK!

I have included my main contact information at the bottom of this message so that you can contact me any time. If you ask for my personal phone number I'll be delighted to provide you with it. Look, I know that you are having a difficult time right now. You are receiving hundreds or thousands of emails after posting advertisements for your business.

You probably did not realize that this was going to happen, but they always seem to get you with that fine print. I went through the same thing when I was first starting out. Just like you I posted to Safelists, FFA Pages, Classified Ads, purchased "opt in email leads", tried Search Engine Optimization, but nothing was working for me! I was going in debt and was very PISSED OFF! I knew that there was a way to make it, but I did not understand what my problem was.

Well, it turns out there were a couple of problems. First of all I was marketing the wrong way. Secondly I was marketing the wrong type of business. There is a difference between a "business opportunity" and a "money making opportunity". Moneymaking opportunities are scams; they are based around products or services that are useless. Some companies go as far as not even having a product (this is an illegal pyramid scheme). Those moneymaking opportunities are DEAD ENDS if you are trying to build a SOLID INCOME Online.

You must market a Business Opportunity. A Business Opportunity provides a VERY VALUABLE, in HIGH DEMAND Product or service. "Don't Dig for Gold, Sell the Shovels!" With this information in mind, I urge you to check it out. This system taught me how to market effectively and make money on the Internet. Once you review this information and have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Don't put off getting this information. The sooner you get started, the sooner you will see results. If you keep doing the same thing over and over again without progress, you are just wasting your time. STOP WASTING TIME Act Now!

FFAs are Fishing Nets

########################################
########################################

FFAs are Fishing Nets

Those who host FFA sites are fishermen with the easiest job in the world. The fish practically jump into their nets-lured by the promise of free advertising. Of course, all the fishermen want in return, is the right to send them a few, harmless emails. So, its a no-brainer, the fish gladly agree to receive some friendly emails, as long as they get FREE advertising.

At first, all seems well to the happy fish. They post their ads with GLEE to thousands, millions, and oodles of googols of FFA sites. Then the email starts pouring in, like a sudden storm. The fish are shocked, but undaunted-they will grin and bear it-for the free advertising they SEEK!

So begins the vicious cycle (post-email flood-post-email flood-post-email flood) that leads to desperation fast. For no matter how much posting they do-all they have to show for it is a full email box. The fish want to PLEAD for answers, but are too embarrassed. So they start looking for answers in the mountains of email they RECEIVE.

(Ah, the cunning of the fishermen is REVEALED! They lured these fish into their nets to hold them as a captive audience to their "solutions to the problem of finding yourself trapped in a net with no way out". Heck they didnt even need real solutions-just real sounding solutions!)

INDEED these Free For All sites are a free-for-all-shark-feeding-festival for Internet Marketers looking to cash in again and again AT YOUR EXPENSE.

I know, Ive seen both sides-and both sides make me SicK.

But there is a way out of either being Abused or being an Abuser. First, you can learn how to get out of the nets. Second, you can learn how to effectively market online. Third, you can help people get out of the nets and learn how to effectively market their programs and products online. Fourth, by doing this you will feel incredibly good about the state of your integrity and your bottom line; and you will inspire others to give more and take less.

Are you ready to take the first step?

When you are, there's only one guy who can help you get started. I can tell you from experience, he is HONEST, and you can trust him. Just click on the link below to meet him-

##### Special REPORT on FFAs #####

########################################
########################################
There is something that has been weighing me down lately. I have to get it off my chest right now.

I need to spread the word that posting to FFA sites only results in disappointment.
You can search online to confirm this for yourself.

The only result anyone ever gets from this method is an email box full of advertisements.
This is because no one goes to these sites anymore. Also, the ads only stay on the sites a short time.

I posted to FFA sites when I started marketing online. I did not make a single sale.
I was getting depressed as I deleted email after email. Still, I refused to give up.

One of the emails caught my eye.

It talked about a 20-dollar ebook that teaches people how to successfully market online.
This was what I wanted to know. Also it had a 60-day rock solid guarantee.

If my instincts were wrong, I would return the ebook and get my money back.
That ebook instantly took me from depression to elation.

It showed me how to Host FFA sites and reach thousands of people longing to succeed online.
I started making sales the first full week I applied the system. I consistently made sales for 5 weeks!

I have had my ups and downs, but the system keeps me moving forward to make more sales.
Best of all, I now have residual income coming in; and it is growing.

I am so excited about being able to help people make it online, I am about to BURST.

How to Succeed Online
########################################
########################################

My name is Steve Crawford and this is my personal response to your posted ad.
This is what I have learned so far about what it takes to "make it" online.

First of all, no matter how good the sales pitches are, free advertising does not work. It is a waste of time. It is bait that is designed to get you to pay for something later. Some gurus have the nerve to sell information about free advertising methods.

Second of all, you need to either sell some product or program that is in high demand or reach a niche market with a niche product or program.

Third, you need a constant flow of high quality traffic, that is interested in what you have to offer, going to your web site.

Fourth, you need to build up a list of the email addresses of people who have decided that they would like to receive valuable information from you via email.

Fifth, you need to consistently and persistently market using effective advertising copy. Tracking your ads is crucial. And automating your campaign by using an autoresponder is critical.

I will spare you the details of how much time and money I have wasted learning these five essentials of online success.

I will simply point you in the direction of the web site that put me on the right path:

Secrets of the Big Dogs: Ad Copy is Vital

The one thing that will determine whether you succeed or fail is the effectiveness of your Ad Copy. You need to develop this skill. What will get you by in the mean time (assuming you are not yet a great Ad writer) is tweaking--modifying other people's Ads and making them your own.

Remember, you MUST learn to write your own Ads. While it is possible to succeed without using your own Ads, this is not the ideal situation. You can connect with your prospects best when you use your own words and your own story.

I highly recommend that you study the Ads in the "How'd They DO That!?" section in the Big Dogs Training Manual. These are excellent examples of what works.

This guy name Leo Silvestri may contact you when you start sending your sales message out. He targets new Alpha dogs in his marketing efforts. He will claim to be your friend. Remember, he has his own agenda. It DOES NOT line up with your agenda. He wants you to follow him instead of Stan. Be aware that every marketer that contacts you has their own agenda.

One of the first things you should do is go to this site: http://wagtunes.cashhosters2.com/bigdogs.html

Bookmark it so that you can easily get to it. It will definitely help you learn what to do to succeed. Some of the information is outdated, but the section on writing Big Dogs ads is very good.

I have dug up a Training Site from the past that you need to check out. Yes, much of the information is outdated,but some of it is priceless and timeless. Here it is: http://web.archive.org/web/20041014221516/www.jwalkerweb.com/training.htm

In a nutshell, when it comes to writing effective Big Dogs ads, this is what works: Tell your own, unique marketing story. Be very personal and be brutally honest. Show your prospects that they are not alone. That everyone goes through the brutal Internet Marketing learning curve. Most importantly, show them that the Big Dogs ebook is the way out; that it will put them onthe path to success.

I recommend that you do not mention the name Big Dogs at all and that you do not mention Stan's name at all. This is because many FFA posters will click away when they see the name of the ebook. They believe that they know what it is all about--as theyhave been exposed to other Big Dogs ads before. Not revealing exactly what you are promoting, maximizes your chances of getting prospects to the sales page.

If you are sending your letter to FFA posters, you must understand one thing about this arena: Ads go stale very quickly. They must be changed at least once a week. Subject lines also quickly go stale.

You might want to consider getting "Email Ads of Gold!"By Chris Gibson. After all, who knows better how to write "Big Dogs" ads than one of the most successful Alpha dogs EVER. You can find it by searching on Google.

The site below is Steven Wagenheim's Site. He is the Alpha dog known as "Mister Consistency." http://clix.to/homebizhelpcenter I found the section on ads to be useful.

Okay, I think that is enough for now.

You really can Succeed Working at Home

You really can Succeed Working at Home

Do you want to start a home based business? Is it your dream to run your own show so that you never again have to listen to your boss? If this sounds like you, you are in a group of thousands of other people. It is safe to say that in some point in everyone’s life they dream of running their own business. The benefits and advantages of having a home based business are many. If you are lucky enough to ever have this chance you should really revel in it. Remember, not everybody can be so lucky.

But you are probably asking yourself if you can really have success with a home business. The answer to this question is simple, yes. If you know what you are doing and take your time, you can have success running a home business. Unfortunately, it is not always as easy as it may seem. You are going to run into problems from the very beginning, and there are going to be times when you think about giving up.

The first thing that you need to do when setting up a home business is to make a decision on what you want to concentrate on. In other words, what is your business going to do? This is a question that can sometimes be hard to answer. The majority of people want to do something that they like, but at the same time they do not know how to get started. You need to remember that in order for your home business to be a success you have to like what you are doing. If you don’t like your home business idea, why move forward in the process? You will simply end up in the same situation that you are in with your current job.

Also, a successful home business needs time to grow. You should never think that you are going to take off within a couple days of opening up shop. It is going to take you a bit of time to get your bearings and take off. For this reason, patience is very important to the success of your home business. With patience you will be able to wait out the rough times that are bound to show up time and time again. No home business starts making big time money in the first day. But if you take your time you will get to where you want to be.

Overall, you can have a lot of success with a home business. It may not be easy at first, but as time goes by you will become comfortable with what you are doing. Sooner or later you will be making profits on your own.

Whether downsized, outsourced, or sick and tired of cubicle hell, more people are earning their living by working at home. The work at home industry is booming with a diverse lot of income earning opportunities. People of all skill and education levels can find a niche in this market.

Telecommuters

Technology has enabled former office rats to do their work at home. Armed with a computer, fax, and telephone, employees from back office data entry to management staff are able to perform part or all of their jobs at home. The telecommuting option is appreciated by workers as it allows them more freedom and control over the work day and more time to spend with families. Companies find that this set up often improves employee morale and productivity.

Net Work

Earning money via the Internet has become an increasingly popular option in the work at home industry. Chances are you know someone who sells merchandise on eBay. Many online merchants are working out of their homes. The Internet offers a wealth of opportunities for writers to earn a living at the keyboard. People with an Internet-based career often start on a part-time basis while working their regular office gig. Once their "web job" takes off, they escape the office grind for full-time work at home.

Home Base

Another option in the work at home industry is a home-based business where you go out in the field to provide services for customers. This is a wide open opportunity - think of any product or service that people need and, viola, you have a business. The senior population is exploding. Start an elder service that helps seniors with light housekeeping, grooming, and transportation. Two career families and busy folks in general equal a business for you running errands such as shopping, chauffeuring kids, and picking up dry cleaning.

You can strike out on your own with these home-based businesses or buy a franchise. Franchises offer a brand name people know and trust along with marketing support from the headquarters office. Start up costs can be out of reach for a lot of people, however, there are hundreds of franchise options in the work at home industry that will fit with small budgets.

Scam Alert

The Internet and print and broadcast media are full of ads for great-sounding work at home opportunities. Sadly, the work at home industry is full of scam companies that advertise high income home-based jobs. Some ads are specific while others are vague and keep you in the dark about the exact nature of the pie in the sky venture.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Do your research before you plunge into any work at home opportunity. Talk with others who are working at home. Check out franchises or Internet opportunities with the Better Business Bureau. Despite the scam artists, there are thousands of options in the work at home industry and one of them will suit you.

Unique Ways for Auto Mechanics to Earn Extra Money

Unique Ways for Auto Mechanics to Earn Extra Money

If you are an auto mechanic there is a world of money making opportunities available to you. Don’t think that the only thing you can do to make a bit of money is work in a garage. This is simply not the truth. Just like any other job, you have the ability to turn your skills into other money making ventures. This may or may not be something that you are interested in, but taking a look at the available opportunities cannot hurt.

One of the best ways for an auto mechanic to earn extra money is to do work on the side. There are many people who hate to take their car into the dealership for service. But if they know that you will do the work for them outside of the dealership they will be more than happy to pay you for it. For this reason you can market yourself to your area as an independent auto mechanic of sorts. This can bring in a bit of extra money for you in no time at all.

Another option that you may want to consider is becoming a mechanic that inspects used cars as a third party. In other words you can help people who are in the market for a used car. They will come to you when they have found a car that they like, and then you will check it out for them in order to ensure that everything is in order. This is a very big market that has yet to be fully tapped into. This is very similar to becoming an independent mechanic, but instead you will be specializing more directly in the purchase of used cars.

And of course if you are an auto mechanic you are good at what you do. In other words you know how to fix up cars and make them run better. This can open up a lot of avenues as far as fixing up junk cars and reselling them for a profit. Think about how much money you could make if you put in all the work yourself. You will never have to pay any money except for the original purchase and any parts that you need. All of the labor will be done by you. The profit that you can make doing this can be quite large.

There are many unique ways that auto mechanics can earn extra money. The most important thing is to not think that there are no options available to you. Even if you do not want to earn any extra money at this point, you should keep your options open. You never know when the urge is going to hit you!

Tips for Promoting Your Home Business Web Site

Toot Your Web Horn: Tips for Promoting Your Home Business Web Site

Traffic on the freeway is bad. Traffic on the Internet is good. With over 60 million web sites on the Net, you need a solid strategy for steering customers to your home business web site.

Search Engines

Search engines are the yellow pages for a home business web site. Over 80% of Internet surfers use search engines to find information on the web. To get the most traffic to your site, list with the big search engine players Yahoo, Google, and MSN. Smaller search engines also get results from the big three so you'll be covered in case customers visit less popular engines.

Looking Good

Your home business web site can be simple or complex but it must be functional and attractive. Make sure your site does what it is supposed to do - provide customers with concise, useful information about your product or service. Be wary of making things too complicated. The site should be easy to navigate or customers will look elsewhere.

Your home business web site should also look professional, not cheap. If you aren't design savvy, spend money on a good web designer. The investment will pay off by attracting more people to your web page.

On-line Ads

The Internet has many sites where you can list your home business web site for free. To guarantee the greatest exposure, place your ad on several (20 or more) sites and repeat the process every month.

Banner advertisements can be as effective as TV spots in increasing customer awareness of your business. A banner ad should be direct, i.e. promote a benefit of rather than just the name of the product or service. Try participating in a banner exchange program such as LinkExchange that connects your home business web site to other company sites that have similar customer bases.

Affiliate programs offer an excellent opportunity to promote your home business web site. Affiliate businesses post links to your web page on their sites. You pay them a commission or set fee based on the amount of traffic sent to your web site. Pay arrangements vary and can be based on the number of people who visit your site or the number of customers who purchase your product.

Bloggin' It

Bloggers are the hot new information medium. Getting them to write about your home business web site is an excellent way to gain exposure to potential customers.

Technorati Blog Directory provides a listing of blogs by industry. Do your research here to determine which blogs might be interested in writing about your business. Send a short, personal email to a few blog writers describing your web site and asking the blogger to write about it. Offer the writer something in return, for example, free product or a link back to his blog on your web site.

Off-line Ads: Cruising Down the Highway

Your car is a moving billboard for a home business web site. Window decals and bumper stickers are inexpensive ways to get the word out about your web site. Spend a few extra dollars for a personalized license plate with your web address.

Old Media Standby

Regardless of what the bloggers say, people still read the printed page. Run ads in the classifieds of large and small papers, trade magazines, and free weeklies. Your choice of print media will depend on the product or service offered and whether you do business locally or nationwide.

The Best Affiliate Programs

Best in Show: Do your homework to determine the best affiliate programs for your web site.

Affiliate (aka Associate) programs are a win-win situation for everyone involved. Internet-based merchants hook up with affiliates to generate traffic to their web sites. Affiliates get paid if the traffic from their site visits the merchant web page. The smart Internet entrepreneur does some research to determine the best affiliate programs for her business.
Where to Look

Affiliate networks are the middle man between affiliates and web sites with affiliate programs. Look for affiliate networks that provide all the tools needed to set up and maintain an affiliate program. AssociatePrograms.com is a popular directory with information about merchants that pay you to sell their wares.

Commission Junction is a free network that offers access to thousands of the best affiliate programs. Commission Junction combines all your affiliate earnings (product sales, on-line ads, links) into one monthly check.

What to Look for

The best affiliate programs will be those that target your customer base. An on-line florist would get little traffic from a pet supply website. You want an affiliate whose business is similar or comparable to your product. Avoid affiliates with low quality products. Ask to speak to existing affiliates to find out if a company is reputable.

Referral traffic may link to the merchant site and not buy initially but return to make a purchase weeks later. Look for affiliate programs that remember your site was responsible for that customer. The best affiliate programs remember you for 60 days by using cookies to tag the customer's computer when he visits the merchant site.

The best affiliate programs offer reliable support such as ads, logos, and sales advice. Good programs also provide timely updates on click through sales and earnings, and, respond to questions or problems within 24 hours.

Getting Paid

There are three common affiliate payment plans. With pay per sale, the merchant pays when the affiliate sends a customer who buys from the merchant's site. The payment could be a set amount or a percentage of the sale.

In a pay per click set up, the affiliate is paid based on the number of people who visit the merchant's web site regardless if a purchase was made.

With pay per lead programs, affiliates are paid based on the number of people who sign up as leads. A lead would be a visitor who filled out an information page on the merchant web site thus becoming a potential customer.

Multi-level payment plans allow affiliates to earn commission on sales, clicks, or leads from their sites as well as commission based on activity generated by affiliate sites they refer to the merchant site. Another form of payment is residual commission. Affiliates continue earning money after the original sale has been made. This is common in situations where customers pay monthly fees for merchant services.

The best affiliate programs pay at least 25% commission with some going as high as 50%. Payments should be made at least once a month although some affiliate programs pay quarterly or twice a year.

Honorable Mentions

There are hundreds of good, reputable affiliate programs. Three that stand out among the best are Neil Shearing's affiliate program which pays some of the highest commissions and conversion rates; Ken Evoy's 5 Pillar Program which offers excellent marketing and educational information; and My TemplatesStorage, a good site for web development merchants.

This will only make a mess, and make it much more difficult for you to keep track of everything that is going on.

Also, your home needs to be child proof. You cannot have anything that may harm the children that you are watching. This includes things such as stairs that they could fall down, or small items that they could choke on.

Selling your Home Business

Selling your Home Business

Do you have a successful home business? Do you feel that it is about time to move onto a new venture in life? If this sounds like you, you may want to look into selling your home business. When you started out this was probably the furthest thing from your mind, but sometimes things happen. And now you find yourself in the position of wanting to sell your home business. Even though this sounds like an easy enough task, there are actually a lot of details that you will have to consider. After all, you put your heart and soul into making your home business the best. You want to make sure that you get what you deserve, right?

The first thing that you will need to do when selling your home business is come up with an idea of how much money you would like to get for it. Setting a price early on will allow you to negotiate more easily down the line. By skipping this step you may end up losing out on money that is yours when you make the sale. Actually setting a price to sell your home business for is not the easiest thing to do. You need to take into consideration the amount of money that you currently earn, as well as how much growth potential there is. Some people will tell you that you should sell your home business for your monthly income x 12. This may make sense in some situations, but you may be selling yourself short if you do this. You need to make sure that you are compensated for the money that you would make down the line as well.

After you know how much money you want to sell your home business for, the next step is to find a buyer. This can often times be the most difficult task. You can place ads both in print and online in order to get the word out. If you are having no luck on your own, there are brokers that can help you out with the sales process. They are more or less responsible for bringing buyers and sellers together. This may be your best option if you do not want to do a lot of the work on your own. Finding a broker that can help you sell your home business can be done by searching online. In no time you will have plenty of brokers to choose from.

If you are at the point when you want to sell your home business you are lucky. Not a lot of people make it this far. In order to get a fair price for your home business, make sure that you ask what you want and stick to your guns.

Pet Photography Business

Pet Photography Business

If you like pets, starting a pet photography business is a great way to make money. Not only will you get to make money, but you will also get to do so while enjoying your job. And isn’t this something that everybody is looking for in a career?

But before you start a pet photography business there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. Remember, you cannot simply start a pet photography business because you like animals. There is much more to it than that. And if you want to be successful at what you are doing you will need to be the best of the best.

Before you start your pet photography business look into the market that you live in. There are two things in particular that you should look at. First off, are there enough people in your area that will want to use your service? Obviously, the bigger the city you live in the better your chances are of garnering a lot of business. You will also want to make sure that you do not have a lot of competition in this industry. If there is already an established pet photography business in your area you may want to reconsider where you open up shop. This is a specialized niche, and if somebody has already tapped into it you may have a hard time grabbing a share of the market.

To have a successful pet photography business you need to be good at taking pictures. That is the bottom line. If you do not have the skills to take top notch photos nobody is going to pay for your services. In addition, you will need to have the necessary equipment in order to be a success in the pet photography industry. This can cost a lot of money, but it is something that you need to have to move to the top of the industry.

And speaking of expenses, a good pet photography business has a professional atmosphere in which clients can bring their pets. You will need to have a space to do this, as well as different props and backdrops. Plus, keeping the area clean is an absolute must if you are going to be having pets in and out all day long. Giving off a good sense of professionalism is a great way to garner repeat and referral clients.

Overall, a pet photography business is a great way to make money in an industry that is interesting. If you love pets, and have a knack for photography, you should look into this industry right away. Who knows, you may carve out a niche in your area and garner more clients than you ever thought possible.

No matter if you are selling a product or a service, with network marketing you can increase your sales in no time at all. And in today’s day and age, network marketing is more effective than ever before. In the past network marketing was a great way to make contacts as well as sales, but this has grown more than anybody could have expected. If you do not take advantage of network marketing, you will never reach your fullest potential.

If you do not know what network marketing is there is no reason to give up. The fact of the matter is that network marketing is quite easy to understand; it is exactly what it sounds like. With network marketing you get your name out there by talking with other people, and making industry contacts. The more people that you know, the better chance you have of making sales. And remember, the contacts that you make have contacts of their own. So in time word begins to spread about your offerings.

Network marketing is all about getting in touch with the people that can help you out the most. Of course your number one target should be people in your direct industry. In other words, people that would be interested in buying your product are people that you should network with.

The best way to get started in network marketing is by making yourself accessible to a large amount of people. Believe it or not, social networking sites such as Myspace have become quite popular for individuals and businesses alike. With these services you can introduce yourself to millions of people without ever having to do too much work. And of course with each person that you meet, you have added another person to your network.

The good thing about network marketing is that you may not make a sale today from somebody that you meet. But down the line that same person may be looking for a product or service and remember the conversation that they had with you. But none of this is possible unless you get the word out, and are not afraid to network in an aggressive manner.

If you want to make big profits, network marketing can help to put you on the right track. For many years businesses have been using network marketing as a way to reach the next level, and today this still holds true.

Generally speaking, network marketing does not cost a thing. All you have to do is find people to network with and get started. It does not get much easier, and cost efficient than that.

Making More Money on eBay

Seller's Market: There's money to be made on eBay

Garage sales and flea markets are so 20th century. Today, if you have stuff to peddle, sell it on eBay. You'll be joining thousands of other like-minded citizens who seek to make money selling their wares on the popular web site. Since everyone is hip to the online selling gravy train, you'll need to make your items stand out in order to make more money on eBay.

Size up the Competition

Before listing your items for auction, check out eBay's Completed Items listings. Here, you'll see what products are up for sale, their prices, and how they are presented. You might also get a better idea on how to title your product to produce a higher price.

Don't overload the auction site with items. You will make more money on eBay auctions if you sell a few items at the same time rather than overload the auction site.

Describe Your Wares

You have limited space for product information so make your words count. In the auction title, avoid words such as "Look," or "Wow." No one types in these words to do a search; use words that potential buyers will likely use do search for your product.

Be generous with information in the auction description. Include any product details that buyers will find helpful. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words (or maybe a thousand dollars!). A good, color picture is essential to catch the eye of a buyer.

Shipping News

Don't tack on too high shipping/handling costs for your auctions. While your aim is to make more money on eBay, sky high shipping fees may turn off buyers. There's always another seller who will give them a better deal.

Promote Your Wares

To help make more money on eBay, it helps to advertise your auctions on a personal web page. Or, run an online store with links to your eBay auctions. Send emails to subscribers notifying them of upcoming auctions.

eBay Auction Support

eBay provides sellers with several tools to help them navigate the auction process. Automated listing tools allows sellers to post additional listings without going through the "Sell Your Item" process every time. With eBay's Turbo Lister, you can sell your wares without having to visit the web site - and it's free.

If you are selling a very expensive item, it may be beneficial to purchase an auction upgrade from eBay. These upgrades generate more potential buyers. However, the cost of auction upgrades will eat up the profit on lower priced items.

The Right Stuff

Having unique, high quality items is another way to make more money on eBay. Estate sales are great places to find specialty items such as antiques, vintage clothing, and jewelry. You may also find a few nuggets from liquidators who purchase discontinued or last season's merchandise from manufacturers and retailers.

Internet Business Strategies

Web Pointers: Internet Business Strategies for successful eCommerce


The goal of any online business is to sell something, be it a product, service, or information. To accomplish this, you need customers, or traffic, to your web site. Follow these key Internet business strategies to generate customers and cash.

Image is Everything

Your web site should reflect how you want customers to feel about your business. The site must be professional looking and easy to navigate and understand. The content provided should be relevant to the needs of the customer.

Marketing is King

What promotional tools are you using to advertise your web site? Search engines are the primary method Net surfers use to locate information. One of the top Internet business strategies is to choose relevant keywords for the most efficient search engine optimization. The word "books" is too generic for a site promoting life/career changing seminars based on motivational books. Surfers who type in "books" probably want to buy one rather than attend a seminar. Use specific terms that closely relate to what you are selling.

Links to your web page are another important Internet business strategy. Links increase visitors who often become customers. Relevancy is key; links to your home page should be from sites with topics closely related to your business. Be descriptive with links. "Buy last season's Coach handbags at closeout prices" entices more clicks than "Brand name liquidators."

Consider starting your own affiliate program. It's cost effective because you only pay other sites for the visitors they link to you. You can pay for visitors or pay if the visit results in a sale.
Online businesses do best with online marketing. However, don't discount "old" media. Get a press release or article about your eBusiness in the local paper. Place an ad in the Yellow Pages or industry trade magazines.

Information Content

Don't just sell your product or service. Include articles, news, or interesting facts related to your eBusiness. Many customers will appreciate the information. In addition, reporters often look for information online; a blurb about your web site in their story might bring in more customers.

Customer Friendly

If your eBusiness customers are the general public, go easy on the industry jargon. Use "nose jobs" more than "rhinoplasty" if your cosmetic surgery site is aimed at patients rather than fellow medical personnel. This is important also when choosing keywords for search engines.

Go easy on graphics and other bells and whistles. These things tend to slow down page loads. A easy navigation system is one of the most important Internet business strategies. The average customer doesn't want to sit through mini films or music interludes to get to the information desired. If your web pages take too long to open, customers will surf elsewhere.

What it Takes to Successfully Promote Affiliate Programs

To successfully promote any program takes a kind of unwavering
focus that is unreasonably relentless.

You must focus on driving targeted traffic from various responsive
markets.

The better you get at driving quality traffic, the more recurring income
you will generate.

The first goal is always to get up the face of the
first mountain, so that you can go down the other side.

Most people quit before they reach the point where their recurring
income covers all of their marketing expenses.

Thus they never get to gain the kind of
momentum that will carry them up the next mountain...

Whatever affiliate program you promote, find a way to focus your
energy, creativity, and resources, to achieve the first goal.

Because if you get that far,
no one will be able to stop you from succeeding...

Getting into the Real Estate Business

Getting into the Real Estate Business

You have probably heard that getting into the real estate business is a great way to make money. Thousands of people have turned to the real estate game in order to make money. And a lot of these people have turned themselves into self made millionaires. Wouldn’t you like to be next in line? The good thing is that making money in the real estate industry is more than possible. If you know how to get started, and make the right decisions, you can make tons of money.

Before you get too involved in the real estate business you need to ask yourself what you want to do. There are many ways to make money with real estate, and you will need to plan your route early on.

Real estate investing can be done in two ways. First off, you can buy a piece of real estate, fix it up, and then resell it for a profit. This is a great way to make money if you know how to manage what you are doing. Also, you can buy real estate and then rent it out. The advantage to do this is that you will have a monthly income coming in from each property that you own. If you have enough real estate making you money each month you will never have to work again, and the only thing you will have to do is make sure each property is kept up to part.

Unfortunately, getting started is not quite as easy as it may sound. Sure, all you need to do is buy a piece of real estate, but after that things can get a bit tricky.

After you have a piece of real estate in your name the real fun starts. You will need to get it up to par, and then make a decision on what you want to do with it. Either way, the property will have to be in good enough shape to sell or rent out. For this reason you will probably have to do some repairs. Are you handy enough to make these repairs on your own? If so, you can save yourself a lot of money. But if you are not, you will have to hire somebody to help you out. This is not a problem, but it can cut into your overall profits.

Getting into the real estate business is one of the best ways to make money in today’s day and age. Many people have turned to this industry as a full-time job. And a lot of these people have made millions of dollars. If you want to be next, jump into the real estate business today. You never know what could happen.

Get Rich Selling eBooks?

Get Rich Selling eBooks?

Can you get rich selling e-books? There are no guarantees, but it is possible to earn a very nice income selling e-books online.

E-books are electronic versions of printed material that can contain text, sound, and images. The profit potential from selling them is high because start up and operating expenses are very low. The biggest expense is purchasing books for sale.

You can earn even more money if you write some of your own e-books. Your writing skills don't have to be stellar. There are online sources that will take your research and craft an e-book for you. Some of these companies even take care of marketing, payments, and shipping.

Buying e-books for Sale

You can purchase e-books from authors online. eBay is another source for e-book buying. Purchase e-books with resell rights. This allows customers to sell the e-books they buy from you themselves thus providing an incentive for them to do business with you.

Make sure the e-books you buy (or write yourself) are full of useful information and resources. Some e-books are nothing more than ads and sales pitches for the writer's products. These "ad books" will turn off customers and decrease repeat business.

Do your research to determine what types of information people are seeking. Getting rich selling e-books will depend on the topics covered, customer base, and marketing campaign.

Before buying an e-book for resale, do an online search for the title. If lots of web sites are selling the book, it's probably a popular title and will be a good seller. It also helps to sell e-books that cater to a specific market niche. Search online forums and other group sites to locate potential target markets for niche titles. Contact these groups with a short email inviting them to visit your site. Offer an incentive such as 20% off the first purchase to increase site traffic.

E-books about current trends or hot topics will generate more income. Your income will really get a boost if you can spot the "next big topic" and write or purchase e-books to sell before the competition saturates the market.

Marketing Extras

You can use a common template for your e-books web site or sell them on an existing site you already have. However, to stand out from the competition, create you own web site to sell e-books. Always add new titles to your stock to keep old customers coming back and to attract new ones. Use email to notify customers of new titles and special sales. Offer discounts on slow moving titles.

Affiliate programs are another way to get rich selling e-books. The affiliate earms a commission for their e-Book sales. To earn extra cash from e-books you write, start your own affiliate program.

There are plenty of online and print books that will help you learn how to get in on the e-book sales bandwagon. A good place to begin reading is "Make Your Knowledge Sell," by Ken Evoy and Monique Harris.

Beyond Your Garage: Finding Stuff to Sell Online

Beyond Your Garage: Finding Stuff to Sell Online

Billions of dollars worth of products are sold on eBay and other online merchants every year. Where are people getting all these items to sell? Surely, they've emptied their closets and garages by now. Even if they have, finding stuff to sell online is still relatively easy. Several sources are available for those who want to make a little or a lot of cash selling online.

Home Stuff

Not all garages have been cleared of junk. Weekend garage sales are still popular places to find items to sell. Sales in higher income areas tend to net more quality items like designer clothes, high end furniture, and antiques. However, don't neglect an average Joe garage sale; one never knows what unique items will be unearthed regardless of the neighborhood. Go to these sales toward the end of the day. Homeowners will be more inclined to sell you merchandise at rock bottom prices rather than having to pack up unsold items.

Look through your own garage and closets to find items to sell online. You may be harboring old clothes, books, Cds, and toys that will bring in a few bucks online. Offer to rid your friends and family of their unwanted junk by selling on consignment. You sell their stuff and keep %25 of the profits. Local retailers may also agree to let you sell their overstocks and returned merchandise on consignment as well.

Buy Online, Sell Online

Finding stuff to sell online is as easy as buying it from the same online source. eBay is an excellent place to find everything from antiques to huge lots of merchandise that you can buy and resell at a profit.

Locate other online sources by using search terms such as wholesale liquidators, closeout dealers, and drop-ship services. These same sources can also be found in print media including the Yellow Pages and classified ads in newspapers, trade magazines, and free weeklies.

Auction Action

Unclaimed, slightly damaged, and repossessed merchandise can be purchased at freight claims and government auctions. Check the Yellow Pages for contact information and newspaper classified section for upcoming sales.

There's a storage unit operation on every corner these days. The storage company auctions off the contents of unpaid rental units. Although the contents are sold sight unseen, there's probably enough sale worthy items inside to let you break even.

Estate auctions are another great source for finding stuff to sell online. Like garage sales, high income estates yield the greatest finds, but gems can be found regardless of the estate's net worth. These sales are advertised in the newspaper.

Drop Shipping

Drop shipping is an easy, hands off way to sell online. You send the order to the manufacturer or distributor and they ship the product to the customer. No inventory or shipping hassles to worry about.

Local Events

Bazaars, flea markets, and festivals are good sources for everything from unique handmade crafts to valuable collectibles. Like garage sales, stop by near closing time for deep discounted deals.

Check with the local convention and visitors' bureau to find out about upcoming trade shows that are open to the public. You'll be able to buy from manufacturers and sale reps selling the latest products on the market.

Offshore Action

Asia is a good source for finding stuff to sell online. However, the red tape and cost of contacting sources there can be a hassle. Your best bet is to hook up with a manufacturer's rep who has overseas connections. There's enough available home grown sources for locating products to sell to make this option unnecessary.

Extra Cash Walking Dogs

Extra Cash Walking Dogs

One of the best ways to make extra cash that you have probably never thought of is walking dogs. More people today than ever before have dogs as pets. But the fact of the matter is that they do not want to take the time to walk them for one reason of the next. Some people do not have the time to walk their dog because they are always at work, and others are too old to keep up. So what do these people do? Simply enough they hire somebody that walks dogs. Anybody can get started in this industry with a little bit of money and time.

Making extra cash walking dogs is quite possible if you put in the time to market your services. The biggest problem that people run into is that nobody knows about their services. So in turn nobody gets in touch with them about their services.

So as you can see the most important part of making extra cash walking dogs is marketing your services. Of course this is going to take a bit of money up front, but after you get a few recurring clients you will be well on your way to making your money back in no time at all.

One of the best places to market your dog walking services is in the local paper. Take out an ad that is big enough for prospective owners to see. Make sure that your ad is visually appealing, and that you also include pertinent information. Give owners the ability to contact you via phone or email. This way you are accessible enough to make the task of getting in touch easy. If somebody has to go through a lot of trouble getting in touch with you they will probably not even bother. In addition, you may want to include your rates in the ad if you think that they are competitive enough to draw in business. But if your rates are a bit higher than the competition you will not want to display them. Also, adding an incentive to call is also a great way to garner business. Offer a free walk or a discount of the first day; anything that will prompt prospective dog owners to get in touch with you.

Making extra cash walking dogs is more than possible if you market your services correctly. And if you can get in touch with a large enough base of customers making decent money is very easy.

If you want to make money walking dogs get started today. You may be the only person in your area that offers these services. Subsequently, you will have the market and profits all to yourself.

eBay for Stay at Home Moms

eBay for Stay at Home Moms

If you are a stay at home mom you may be getting the urge to do something more with yourself. You may want to make a bit of money while staying at home with the kids all day. One of the best ways for any stay at home mom to make money is by using eBay. This may sound a bit far fetched, but the fact of the matter is that thousands of people have turned eBay into a full-time job. And to take this a step further, there are many people who have become millionaires by using eBay to buy and sell items. If you work hard at it, you can be next in line for the profits that are being made on eBay everyday of the week.

At this point you may be wondering how eBay can make you money. This is something that a lot of people have on their mind. Using eBay to make money is quite simple. You will list items for sale, and then wait for other people to bid on them, or purchase at a predetermined price.

But in order to get started with this you will need to have items that you can place for sale on eBay. There are a few ways that you can go about getting these items.

1. To find items to sell on eBay you may want to become a regular at garage sales and flea markets in your area. At these events you can buy items for cheap, and then turn around and sell them for a large profit on eBay. This is one option that a lot of stay at home moms opt for when looking for items that they can sell on eBay

2. Another option to consider is making your own products, and then listing them on eBay. For instance, some people make crafts such as candles and then list them for sale. You may not think that there is a large audience for this type of thing, but there are many people that make a lot of money doing just that.

3. Stay at home moms can get their start on eBay by selling items that they have laying around the house. Chances are that your garage or attic is full of junk that you no longer use. But just because you think that the items you have are junk does not mean that somebody else will. By just selling items that you have in your home you may be able to get your start on eBay. And with the money that you initially make, you can then in turn buy more items. Pretty soon you will notice that your profits are growing.

Wholesale Bargain Basement Shopping

Check out the wholesale market for low prices and great deals.

Own a business? Buy for large groups (scouts, students, family)? Allergic to paying retail? Any of these reasons is good enough for you to explore the world of buying wholesale.

Hard Core Buyer or Casual Shopper?

If you always buy large quantities of merchandise, it would be a good idea to obtain a business license and reseller's license. Some wholesalers will not sell to you without these permits.
In addition, the licenses are your ticket to trade shows that are not open to the public. Here, you can find a multitude of items priced below retail. You can also get on the mailing list for major trade shows. These events sell everything from furniture to the latest fashions at wholesale prices.

When applying for a business or reseller's license, make sure you understand what fees, taxes, and bureaucratic red tape are required to keep you out of trouble. Depending on the state, you may be able to get a reseller's license for free. However, you are responsible for collecting sales tax on products sold within the state. Assess the cost verses expected savings from buying wholesale to determine if it's worth the trouble to obtain licenses.

To get a business license, you must be in business or planning to start one. You can legitimize your business status by turning a hobby or talent into a business venture. For example, a weekend furniture maker sells a few pieces to friends and a business is born.

Even the casual shopper may benefit from obtaining business and reseller's licenses. You get access to non-public wholesale events and wholesalers that don't sell to the general public. In addition, you can make a little money off the deals you find. Buying wholesale usually means purchasing large quantities. While you don't need three dozen cashmere sweaters, you can keep a few and sell the rest to friends, or, via online auctions and at flea markets.

No License, No Problem

Although business permits give you more access to buying wholesale, you don't have to have a license to get wholesale prices. Wholesale businesses often have special times they open to the public. Prices will be a little more, but you still pay less than retail. Check the Yellow Pages to find local wholesalers and ask if they have public sale hours.

Consider buying wholesale from liquidators. Liquidators buy huge quantities of product from manufacturers and retailers. These items are usually discontinued, damaged, or from a previous season and prices are often below wholesale. You can find liquidators in the phone book or on the Internet.

The Internet is also a good source for buying wholesale merchandise especially for those who don't want to bother with permits and buying in bulk. Many Internet wholesalers don't require a minimum purchase.

Another option is to join an association that buys in bulk. The combined purchasing power of a large group lowers the cost of merchandise. Warehouse clubs such as Sam's Club and Costco are another good source for prices that are close to wholesale.

Wholesale Grapevine

Use your network of friends, associates, and family to find wholesale buying opportunities. Your interior decorator neighbor may grant you access to her wholesale contacts. The local florist may be willing to let you in on a sweet deal on dried flowers. Beware though - these folks may require you to engage their professional services in exchange for buying wholesale through them. Weigh the cost of doing business with them against potential savings from buying wholesale.

Knowledge is Potential Wealth

Selling products or services isn't the only way to make money online. What you know can earn you a nice income. People are always looking for information to help with a problem, to educate them, or to entertain them. There is big money in information products on the Internet. The potential for huge profits are great because you have low startup costs and no inventory.

The most common information product is an eBook. An eBook is simply information in an electronic rather than paper format. Other information products include:
streaming video viewed on a web page, audio files on tape or CD, pod casts, access to web pages where info is stored, printed books, CDs, DVDs sent to buyers.

Computer + Topic = Information Product

Big money in information products happens because the process is very easy to create. Choose an interesting topic, put fingers to keyboard and in a little while you've created an info product. If the topic is really hot, you may start earning income hours later. Internet technology provides 24/7 sales and delivery of product. Automate your site so you can sell the product, process the payment, deliver the item via email, and follow up with the buyer later to check on customer satisfaction (and sell more stuff!).

What makes a good information product?

Practically any subject can net big money in information products. How to start a business, self-improvement techniques, career advice - if you can think of a topic, there are probably people willing to buy the information product you put together.

Use your interests and expertise for subject ideas. Search online forums to locate people who might be interested in your information product. Offer to send them a free copy of your info product. This will spark sales and lead to referrals for you.

No writing experience needed.

You don't have to be Pulitzer Prize material to create information products. There are millions of works in the public domain that you can republish and sell. These include non written items such as art, photos, old films, and historical speeches. You can even hook up with a talented writer to help you create an information product and pay him a flat fee or percentage of the profits.

You could make a video of yourself or another person demonstrating a skill (cooking, crafts). Budding musicians can record their songs and sell them as an mp3 download. There's even a guy who records himself reading nursery rhymes and sells the CD to parents with small children.

Product Promotion

A lot of fledgling book authors and musicians sell their books and CDs from the back of their car trunk. For online information products, your web site is your car trunk. Create a site specifically for selling your information products. Participate in affiliate programs to increase site traffic and sales for your items.

Avoiding Home Business Scams

How many times have you heard about a great home business opportunity? Probably more than you care to remember. But to go along with this how many of these home business opportunities ended up being a scam? Again, probably quite a few. Hopefully, you were never the victim of any of these scams. But unfortunately there are others who probably fell for these “opportunities.” The fact of the matter is that these scammers would not be wasting their time if they were not making any money. And as long as people continue to get mixed up in this business, these scammers are going to stick around to trick more and more people.

The best way to avoid a home business scam is to thoroughly research each opportunity before you move forward with it. This means doing much more than simply reading a bit about it online. You may get lucky and end up with a good home business opportunity, but chances are that you will not. Not only will you want to read what is available on the site itself, but you will also want to search for other information as well. Check with third party review sites and on message boards and forums. You may find out soon enough that a certain company has been reported as being nothing more than a scam.

You may also want to check with the Better Business Bureau if you are thinking about getting involved with a home business opportunity that you are not sure of. They will be able to tell you if they have any complaints on file. If they do, you will want to avoid the opportunity at all costs. But if it appears that a company is doing business the right way, you can continue your research.

Before you decide to do anything, attempt to get in touch with the company that you are interested in. Can you get them on the phone? Do they respond to your emails? If you cannot even talk to a company before you start, there is no chance that they will be around when you need them. This is one test that you can run early on in order to ensure that you are dealing with a reputable company. If you do happen to get an employee on the phone ask them questions in order to get some feedback on the company. Anything that will give you better insight into the home business opportunity is a good question.

Overall, home business scams are all over the place. Do your part in putting them out on the street by not falling prey. The best way to do this is through extensive research and questioning.

Affiliate Tracking Software Solutions Make Recordkeeping Easy


Affiliate programs are a great way to increase traffic to and sales for your web site. There are several affiliate tracking software solutions that keep track of sales, clicks, and commissions.

Affiliate tracking software solutions come in a variety of packages. Software for a click-based program allows you to pay affiliates a set rate for each visitor to your web site. Look for click-based software with helpful features including click-through tracking, link code generation (keep banners current and linked correctly), referral tracking, and detailed stats.

Other software lets you set up a commission or flat rate pay for each potential customer sent via your affiliate member. You can also customize the commission schedule for individual affiliates. Commission-based programs can be more economical because you only pay affiliates when their referrals generate sales.

You don't have to choose between click-based or commission affiliate tracking software. Programs are available that let you use both pay arrangements.

Many affiliate tracking software solutions now have private affiliate network capability. This feature is helpful for those with multiple web sites. It lets you run one affiliate program for all your web sites on your own private network as opposed to setting up affiliate programs for each site.

How does it work?

The basic premise of affiliate programs is the same for all affiliate tracking software solutions. An affiliate joins your program by logging into the member area on your web page. There the affiliate can get the tools needed for linking to your site such as banner codes, text links, and product images.

When a visitor clicks from the affiliate's web page to yours, the tracking software places a cookie on the visitor's computer to track him as he browses your web site. If the visitor buys a product or service from your web site, the tracking software notes the affiliate responsible for said visitor and records the sale in a database. The Administrator and the affiliate are both notified of the sale via email.

Affiliate software makes its easy to monitor the success of your affiliate programs by tracking the number of times banners or links are displayed, number of visitors who linked to your web site, and how many of these visits resulted in a sale. In addition, the software keeps account of commissions earned by and payouts to affiliates.

Helpful Features:

Software packages are easy to install and manage. However, software companies will gladly lend a hand to technically challenged web entrepreneurs. Look for affiliate software tracking solutions that provide reliable tech support and don't charge setup fees or monthly charges. The software should be easy to customize for your specific needs.

Other helpful features include:

Unlimited affiliates categories, Automated fraud protection, Performance rewards for your best affiliates, Lifetime upgrades, Multi-level marketing (affiliate program promotes itself and your web site).
