Get Rich from the Internet
Website advertising is the surefire way to make money
on the internet. There is no major upfront fees so you
can start making money without losing your life's
savings. There is a catch though, you have to have to
put a lot of time and effort into building a great
website. But once it's built you just sit back reap the
profits with little maintenance (unless you have
update content on a regular basis).
The key to a great site is content and ease of use. You
need to make your audience want to come and look at
your site. It's even better if you can provide content
that changes on a regular basis. This way you not only
rely on new visitors but returning ones as well. A
couple of great ideas for site content that will bring
returning visitors is running a forum or a chat site.
Setting them up is easy and the net is full of free
content that tells you exactly how to include
advertising with them. Bluehost (found in the related
links page) is a website hosting company that offers
both forum and chat software for free when you
purchase a hosting package through them. I use
Bluehost and this is what I set up as a forum and chat
site. I'm not an html (website language) genius but I
think they look pretty darn good for paying only $6.95/
mo.
So you've sat down and thought really hard about
what you want to create a website about. Now you
need to build it. I'm not going to get into html code or
anything like that so I'll assume you've got that
figured now. If you don't, you can get a copy of
Microsoft FrontPage which is what I use and
recommend for a beginner. FrontPage offers website
templates which let you fill in a few fields of
information and then it will do the rest of the website
creation for you.
Now that you have content you need to insert your
advertising. I've tried Google Adsense (right side) and
found that it's not all that good for making money
because you don't get paid for every ad click (see related links to learn more). In order for Google to
work well you need to understand how they operate
and play by their rules. (Click here for more info on
using Googles adsense program) But then I found
another company called SearchFeed (who does pay for
every ad click).
SearchFeed offers free signup and allows you to
choose the ads that go on your site. If you go with
Google, they pick the ads according to your site
content which doesn't really work out that great. What
ends up happening is you have ads that compete with
your content and take your returning clients away
from you (but you can use their competitive ad filter to
remove competitors ads). You also have to wait until
your profits reach $100 before they payout
(SearchFeed is $35).
Once your signed up with SearchFeed, login to your
account and go to the integration tools menu. Here
you will find 7 different options to choose from. We
will only worry about 2 of them. the most important
and easiest one will be the Dynamic Feed Creator. This
is where you choose the content that you want to
advertise on your site. Click on it and we will look at it
together.
The Dynamic Feed Creator has 10 form fields to play
with. Four of them can be left alone (Display Title,
Title, Title Color and Display URL). The 5 on the left
side are fairly self explanatory. The Box Width can be
in a percentage or number of pixels. Most monitors are
set to 800 pixels wide but I usually just leave it at
100%.
The Search Term box is where you type the keyword
for the ads you want to display. On the left side of this
page you can see what the ads will look like. To add
them to your website, just copy and paste the html
code into the page you want it on in FrontPage and
then you will see a little box where you pasted the
code. Click on this box and select 'treat as HTML tags'.
If you can't see any ads that's ok as long as you can
get them to show up when you click on the preview
button at the bottom of the screen.
The second best feature that SearchFeed offers is the
Search Engine Generator. This is what it looks like
once you have one created. Type something in the box
and click on search.
A SearchFeed' search box has a downside, it's not
good for searching for everything but it is good for
shopping. So what I do is change the name of the
search box to 'Shop' so people know that that's what
it's there for. To get get more info on how to use this
service just check out the SearchFeed site. They tell
you everything you need to know.
Once your site is built and ready to go, you need to get
visitors. There is 2 ways to do this. One is free ant he
other isn't. I'll start with the free one first. Submit
your site to as many search engines and other related
sites that you can. See if you can find a web ring to
join and tell everyone you know that you site exists
and that they should check it out. Be very enthusiastic
about what it is you offer your visitors so that they will
get excited and want to see it. If they want to know
exactly what it's about, keep the info you tell them
very vague. If you tell them too much they will think
they know everything about it and won't take a look.
The other way is through advertising your site on
other sites. You can sign up with Google Adwords and
use a pay per click advertising method. You choose the
keywords you want to trigger you ads and how much
I hope this little article helps you out like it has helped your willing to pay for each click.me. Remember to be creative and try things out.

1-2 Email Copy Punch
The 1-2 Email Copywriting Punch:
How To Get Your Emails Opened, Read, and Responded To
------------------------------------------------------
The power of email marketing is truly the "killer app" of
the Internet. (Yes, it still works and will continue
working.) Personally, I've witnessed some incredible
results from my own email marketing campaigns:
* $43,668.73 in 24 hours from a tiny list of 4200
people and that figure ballooned to over six-figures
in less than 4 days.
* 2 emails brought in over $52,275.00 in less than
14 days from a tiny group of 1267 recipients.
And if you read on, I'll share with you 2 little-known
factors to achieving results like this in your own email
marketing campaigns. I call it my "one-two knockout punch"!
The first thing you have to realize is what I'm about to
share has been around *way* before the Internet. The simple
truth is that people don't change and if you understand
human psychology you can make lots and lots of money
online.
Your first job is get your email opened. Now, I'm going to
make an assumption here; That you are only using your own
opt-in list, I don't have enough room here to tell why you
should - so please just trust me.
Now, according to eMarketer.com, Americans get an average
of 15.2 email messages a day and that number continues to
rise. That means unless your email's subject line is
compelling - your message will wind up in the trash faster
than you can blink!
One of the best ways to create a persuasive subject line is
to incorporate curiosity. Here are a few examples of
powerful subject lines:
Hi! ... just checking in ...
- I'm finally spilling my guts...
- I goofed...
, what do you think?
, Oh no, you didn't
Open this before 7:15 p.m
* * *
When you receive something like this in your email box,
it's very hard not to take a peek and open it up. Remember
this is very important, your subject line is like a
kamikaze bomber, its only job is to get your email opened.
----------------
Side note: Every part of your email has to have a job to do
and the body of your email is no different. I've had the
most success sending out a small 'teaser' in the email and
then directed them to a web site for full details to
close the sale.
---------------
Okay, so now what?
Once you got your prospect to open the email, you had
better grab their attention and keep them reading. Frankly,
the absolute best way in the world I know is to use a
story.
From the ancient times to current day - stories continue to
hold readers and listeners spellbound. There is nothing
better than a good story. It works almost like magic. You
can give people information and motivate using stories
without having the barriers that come up normally. This is
a seldom used copywriting technique that work wonders in
email.
Here are a few examples I've successfully used:

Hi,
I stumbled across something unusual recently....
And as a valued subscriber I wanted to let you know about
it.
A few months ago I met a man named John Harricharan at a
seminar, who graciously offered me his material to review.
I smiled and politely thanked him but I knew that I
probably wouldn't get around to reading it anytime soon.
(You should see my stack of reading material to get to and
I'm actually a quick reader.)
But as luck would have it, I was going away on my honeymoon
one week after this seminar and I decided to bring some
'lighter' reading along.
Honestly, I can't remember the last time I read a book that
didn't deal with the subject of marketing or advertising,
but once I started reading John's material on the airplane
and I couldn't put it down.
It was simply incredible!

Dear,
Last month I was sitting on a plane on my way to speak at
an Internet marketing seminar. Instead of catching up on my
reading, I struck up a conversation with my neighbor. He
told me he had just graduated college with a marketing
degree.
I hesitated for a second, not knowing if I should tell him
what I really thought, but I went ahead anyway...
I confided in him that I had also graduated with a BS in
marketing, actually a top 25 business school, but that I
*never* learned anything useful in my marketing classes.
He was stunned.
I went on to tell him there was just *one* critical skill
(something I never learned from any stodgy professor) that
has been responsible for the majority of my success, both
online and off.
I know this might seem hard to believe, but it's true and I
have proven it time and time again. As I've grown and built
several successful web sites, plus my offline businesses, I
have always relied on this *one* critical skill.
And do you want to know what I told him it was?
It's simple....
(copy continues)...
* * *
I guarantee by simply using this proven "one-two
knockout punch", I just illustrated, you'll see your next
email campaign produce incredible results. Get ready to
click...send...and make money!

top 5 questions to ask your mentor
Who do YOU turn to when you need help or advice with your
Internet business?
If you're lucky, you've got friends or family you can count on --
people who have successful online businesses of their own, and
can answer your questions *whenever* you face a challenge.
Having someone like this to mentor you gives you a HUGE
advantage.
It helps you skip the steep learning curve and avoid costly
mistakes, so you can fast-track your progress and build your
business bigger -- faster.
You can get expert advice that's specifically tailored to YOUR
business -- not just "cookie cutter" solutions that may not work
with your particular business model. Plus, if you're really
lucky, your mentor will help you set and achieve realistic
milestones, so you can hit your revenue goals sooner.
If you DON'T have an experienced businessperson to advise you,
you should seriously consider HIRING someone. If you get the
right person, the return on your investment will be ENORMOUS.
I know HUNDREDS of successful business owners who owe their
success to having a professional mentor.
Take Mark Bowden, of Spex4Less.com, for example...
When Mark built his first web site in 1998, he didn't know
anything about the Internet, and it showed! It took him months of
work just to make his first few sales.
He knew he needed help, so he joined my "Advanced Mentoring
Program." And in just a few months, the advice he got from his
mentor helped him grow his revenue from $1,000... to $5,000... to
$50,000 per month.
In fact, Mark made over $24,000 in just a few days while on a
cruise in the Caribbean!
Nice, huh? Imagine what YOU could do with that kind of income. By
hiring a professional online business mentor, you'll drastically
increase your chances of making serious money with your business
-- in record time.
One thing, though: if you do decide to hire a mentor, make sure
you check their credentials!
The majority of people selling themselves as "coaches" or
"mentors" are either people who have FAILED at their previous
business ventures (and figure it's easier to teach success than
to achieve it themselves)...
... Or, they're used to working with people who are ALREADY
successful with their businesses -- people who have tens of
thousands of dollars to invest (a luxury that most people NEW to
Internet business can't afford.)
Not only that -- they're usually selling a "one-size-fits-all"
program, where you get the exact same information as hundreds of
other people. They don't tell you how to customize the
information to YOUR business -- they leave that up to you to
figure out.
That's not what you should look for in a business mentor. You
want somebody who is going to give advice that fits YOUR personal
situation.
So before you make the decision to hire any mentor, here are
FIVE questions you need to ask him or her:
1. Do you specialize in working with online businesses?
2. Who taught YOU about making money online? (Note: you
should check up on that person's credentials, too!)
3. Do you know other mentors and experts that you can call on
if you can’t answer my questions? If so, who are they?
4. Do you customize your program to MY business, or do you
use a “cookie cutter?approach where I’ll be expected to
complete a series of pre-determined “lessons?
5. Are you available to talk to me (one on one) by telephone
when I need it -- not just when it’s convenient for you --
and how quickly can you GUARANTEE that you’ll respond to
my emails?
These questions will help you choose a mentor who truly WILL help
you get on the fast-track to success.

The importance of building search engine friendly web sites
There are many aspects in regards to search engine optimisation. There are on-page procedures
such as optimising meta tags, titles, page copy, urls, alt tags and the like. We also know that
another important aspect is off-page seo whereby a lot of time and effort is put in in order to
obtain quality inbound links to your site. This normally takes the shape of directory submission,
article writing and submission, competition analysis, social media marketing and blogging to name
a few.These are all crucial elements of search engine optimisation and are a major part of any seo
specialists daily chors.
One element of SEO that can be easily overlooked is the building of a web site that is not only
“user friendly” but also “search friendly”. By “search friendly” we mean that the search engines
can crawl and spider your site unimpeded which will enable it to extract all of your content and
in turn index it within the search engines database. After all, what use is getting thousands of
inbound one way links to your site, if your site is not user or search friendly?
HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?
Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window.
Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
1.If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
2.If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing.
3.If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.
4.If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
5.If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.
6.If they are sleeping. Put them in security.
7.If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.
8.If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
9.If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.
10.If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
11.If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least.
12.If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved. Congratulate them and put them in top management.

a few.These are all crucial elements of search engine optimisation and are a major part of any seo
specialists daily chors.
One element of SEO that can be easily overlooked is the building of a web site that is not only
“user friendly” but also “search friendly”. By “search friendly” we mean that the search engines
can crawl and spider your site unimpeded which will enable it to extract all of your content and
in turn index it within the search engines database. After all, what use is getting thousands of
inbound one way links to your site, if your site is not user or search friendly?
HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?
Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window.
Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
1.If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
2.If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing.
3.If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.
4.If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
5.If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.
6.If they are sleeping. Put them in security.
7.If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.
8.If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
9.If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.
10.If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
11.If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least.
12.If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved. Congratulate them and put them in top management.

Profit Stream #1
$20.00 Monthly Referral Commissions. Enough of those "one-time" commissions. You work
hard to make a sale and you make $15.00 and that's it.
Well, not with Profits Vault Monthly. We offer you a 66% commission EVERY MONTH! You
earn a whopping $20.00 PER CUSTOMER, PER MONTH for as long as they remain an active
member.
Let's do the math...
Refer 1 customer and earn $20.00 per month for life*
Refer 10 customers and earn $200.00 per month for life*
Refer 100 customers and earn $2000.00 per month for life*
Refer 1000 customers and earn $20000.00 per month for life*
*You earn monthly commissions for as long as the
customer is an active member of Profits Vault Monthly.
We provide you with all the training, advertising materials (classified ads, solo mailings, banner
ads, keywords for pay-per-click search engines, etc.) and a ready-made list of high quality places
to advertise online.
You get a website JUST LIKE THIS ONE to promote (your own unique affiliate link!) -- it does all
of the work for you! It will be coded with YOUR Paypal information and you are paid INSTANTLY
via Paypal when someone becomes a member through your referral.
And you are paid every month through your Paypal account for as long as the member remains
active. No waiting on affiliate checks. You are paid in "real time" at the point of purchase. When
someone joins through your referral link, you get paid AT THAT TIME.
That's $20.00 instantly when someone becomes a member through your affiliate link. And $20.00
from that same member for every month they remain active.
Do you see how much we're paying out here? The monthly fee is $29.97 and YOU earn $20.00 of
that in commissions!
-----------Sidebar-----------
The great thing about the affiliate commissions is this: When
you refer just two new members through your link, your own
membership is already paid for and you are actually earning a
profit! It's so easy that most continue to stay active even
if they are only making a small amount of money each month.
-----------------------------
Hey, but that's only ONE of the three profit streams of Profits Vault Monthly...
Profit Stream #2
MASTER Reprint Rights to a Product You Can Sell for $19.97. As a member you will receive a
FRESH, NEW information product that you can sell and keep every penny for yourself!
Yep, you'll receive a reprint rights license to a high-quality eBook written by one of the web's most
respected and well known "gurus", Jimmy D. Brown. (That's me :o) If you aren't familiar with my
work, visit http://www.123webmarketing.com. Or, ask around. Anyone who's been involved in web
marketing knows who I am.
Each month you'll receive a brand new product that is available exclusively to members of Profit
Vault Monthly. You will receive a MASTER reprint rights license to the product...meaning you can
sell it to others and authorize them to sell it as well. Anyone who obtains a copy of the monthly
courses will be able to sell them. (But, as a member, you'll have a VERY unique opportunity that
no one else will have. More on that in a minute)
The product will come with a ready-made sales letter, webpage, eBook graphic art and the product
itself. Master reprint rights to these courses are valued at $97.00, but you'll be obtaining the
license as part of your membership.
And members will be the FIRST one's to be able to sell these new products each month, giving you
the first chance at profits. Sell them for $19.97 and keep every penny. It's that simple.
-----------Sidebar-----------
Want a sneak peek? To take a look at the current product
that is available for you to sell for $19.97, Click Here.
-----------------------------
Remember how I said that ANYONE who obtains a copy of these products is authorized to sell
them? Remember -- you have MASTER reprint rights and are able to pass on reprint rights to all
who purchase. This is important, because it brings up...
Profit Stream #3
Backend Profits On Customized Affiliate Links. These monthly products will be customized
with YOUR Profits Vault Monthly affiliate code. This is an *exclusive* benefit to members only.
There are two things that make this an incredible profit puller for you...
1. The eBooks themselves do selling for you AUTOMATICALLY.
When a customer buys the monthly product from you, then they
are automatically exposed to your affiliate link and
membership offer for Profits Vault Monthly. Many will join
because they want these same three Profits Streams for
themselves! That's good. It's good because when they join
through your eBook, it will be through YOUR AFFILIATE LINK!
That's $20.00 per month you'll be earning for the lifetime of
the membership, thank you very much!
2. Here's the exciting part. When someone buys the monthly
product from you they have reprint rights -- but they don't
have CUSTOMIZATION RIGHTS! (that's a members only benefit)
So, when they begin to sell the product themselves to their
customers...
...it will still remain customized with YOUR AFFILIATE LINK!
And when their customers begin to sell the eBook to still
other customers it will still remain customized with YOUR AFFILIATE LINK!
Unless a person joins Profits Vault Monthly (which means
you'll earn the $20.00 per month affiliate commmission) then
they will be selling copies of the monthly product that have
YOUR affiliate link plugged right in.
Bottom line: Your affiliate link can quickly be in front of
hundreds and thousands of potential
customers...automatically.
That means more customers. Which means more $20.00
commissions deposited into your Paypal account!
*NOTE* There is an additional option available for customization. In each of the monthly products
there are also references to other products and services available online. You can choose (there
is a small fee for customization) to have these links also customized with your affiliate links to
THEIR programs as well. Your monthly membership reprint rights products can actually turn
into a super salesman for you, promoting multiple affiliate programs automatically and
simultaneously!
$20.00 Monthly Referral Commissions. Enough of those "one-time" commissions. You work
hard to make a sale and you make $15.00 and that's it.

Why You Should Become an eBay's Successful Seller
Are you currently looking for ways to make money online? If you are, you may have come across eBay. eBay is known as an online auction website. What is nice about eBay is that just about anyone can become an eBay seller, including you. What does this mean for you? Essentially, it means that if you have items to sell, you can do so on eBay; while making money at the same time. So, if you are currently looking for ways to make money online, you are urged to examine becoming an eBay seller, as there are a number of reasons as to why you should.
Perhaps, the greatest reason as to why you should become an eBay seller is because there are no minimum auction requirements. For you, this means that you could just test the waters if you wanted to. If you were unsure as to whether or not you should rely on eBay to make money, you may want to sell a few items that you no longer need and see how it goes. Should you like the eBay selling experience, you could continue on. However, if you were not satisfied with the results, you could stop selling on eBay right away. eBay is flexible to all sellers, particularly those just getting started.
Another reason why you should become an eBay seller is because it is easy to do. eBay has a relatively easy learning curve. When listing an auction or selling an item on eBay, you are given step-by-step instructions on how you list your items and get your auctions up and running. As long as you follow the instructions provided to you by eBay, you could have your items listed online in a matter of minutes. It has been said that those with minimal computer experience are also able to sell on eBay, without any problems.
Speaking of the items that you want to sell on eBay, you will find that you can sell just about anything on eBay, within reason. There are only a few restrictions, which include inappropriate content and such. For a detailed list of prohibited eBay items, you will want to visit eBay’s help center. Despite a few restrictions, there are a large number of items that can be sold on eBay. These items include real estate, vehicles, clothing, toys, movies, books, gaming consoles, computers, beauty items, and much more. Whether you are looking to sell something that you have in your home, something you bought from a yard sale or a thrift store, or something that can be dropped shipped from another company, you should be able to do so online with eBay.
The ability to make a profit is another one of the many reasons as to why you should become an eBay seller. What is nice about eBay is that they let you set your own price for your auctions. In fact, if you would rather outright sell your products, instead of selling them in a bidding auction, you can do so with “Buy It Now,” listings. The ability to set your own prices is one the many reasons why you should check out eBay. Having the ability to set your own prices increases your chances of being able to make a profit on eBay.
If you would like to become an eBay seller, and as previously mentioned there are a number of reasons as to why you should, you will want to register for a free eBay account. Although your eBay account is free, it will cost a small amount of money to sell items on eBay. Your eBay selling fees will all depend on how much you list your items for, as well as how much they sell for. Despite having to pay small fees, eBay is more than worth your time. The least that you should do is give it a shot. As previously mentioned, if your eBay selling experience doesn’t go as well as you had originally hoped for, you can stop and look for other online money making opportunities.The Seven Secrets of Inspiring Leaders
American business professionals are uninspired. Only 10% of employees look forward to going to work and most point to a lack of leadership as the reason why, according to a recent Maritz Research poll. But it doesn't have to be that way. All business leaders have the power to inspire, motivate, and positively influence the people in their professional lives.

How to Build a Successful Virtual-Assistant Business
virtual assistant is like an administrative assistant but, like the name implies, the person is working offsite, usually from their home. Being a virtual assistant can be another great option for people who want to work at home, but it can be tough to get started in the business.
This article from CareerJournal.com describes what you need to get started and how to get training and experience to help you get assignments.
How Your Friends Destroy Your Marketing Message
A lot of blood, sweat, and tears goes into crafting your 'elevator speech' (I hate that term). You've probably agonized over it, striving to catch just the right tone and wording. Finally, you're (hopefully) finished.
For the final blessing, you turn to your friends and colleagues, and test it out. They respond:
"That's great! I love it. Go for it."
They've just killed you with kindness.
Are they lying? No, they aren't. They sincerely like it. The problem is, they aren't your clients. Or, worse yet, they might be potentially clients, even if they are friends or colleagues, but you'd never know it.
So, what's going on?
The true purpose of the so-called 'elevator speech.'
Your 30-second shpiel is not meant to win you a client or a contract. It's not meant to sell your t-shirts, or anything else you sell.
The only thing your marketing 'tagline' if you will is supposed to do is help the person who hears it decide if they want to walk into your store or not. It's just a window display that helps them decide: "Is this something I'm interested in, or do I know someone who might be?"
That's it. It doesn't have to do such heavy lifting. In fact, 30 seconds is way too long. One or two sentences is plenty. Because once you've spoken them, they'll know immediately if they have 'the response' or not.
The only response that counts.
The only response that counts is if someone can either say, "That's me!" or if immediately, without having to think about it or be prompted in any way, faces or names of people they know jump into their mind.
"I help women who are struggling with chronic illness and still want to contribute in the world." Immediately, I'm seeing the faces of women I know who fit this.
"We help people in business for themselves, who got into business to make a difference, but really, really need to make a profit." "You do? My buddy Tim needs to talk to you."
When a client of ours landed on the right message, she tested it out on friends, and they didn't say: "Oh, I like that." They said: "Wow, I didn't know that's what you were doing. Can you help me?"
THAT's the response you're looking for.
Oh, there might be one other response.
The other response: "That's nice."
Sheer indifference will be what comes up for people who aren't interested, and who don't know anyone else who is. Which is absolutely fine.
You can walk past an automotive speciality shop, and if you're into cars, you get drawn towards the open door like a magnet. But if you're not, you might not even notice that store is there.
It's not necessary that your message wow people, or even be that remarkable. It just needs to be clear enough to call someone's name, so the right people can say: "That's me- I want to talk to you about this."
The Who-Who-What
I don't call this message a 'tagline' or an 'elevator speech.' I call it the "Who-Who-What" after the three elements that make it up. Once you have these three elements right, you'll be calling your best clients' names, and they'll respond, with interest.
Let me explain these three to you.
Keys to Calling Your Clients' Name
The First Who: Demographic.
A demographic is something observable or independently identifiable. "Women over forty" is a demographic, as well as, "people in small business" or "bicultural Dutch citizens."
Many people resist having a demographic because it seems so limiting, or strange. I say, get creative with it! It's incredibly grounding to your business. After all, "people who buy ten chocolate bars a week" is also a demographic. They might hide it from you, but it can be verified.
What is your demographic- who are you really wanting to reach.
The Second Who: Psychographic.
A psychographic is an internal belief or identity that someone holds, but is not independently verifiable. Someone who "wants to make a difference" is a psychographic. "Loves chocolate" is another psychograhic.
The psychographic is what brings your demographic alive. "People in small business" is incredibly generic, but tag on the psychographic: "who want to make a difference in the world" and suddenly it's very specific.
A demographic plus a psychographic is very powerful. But you need one more thing.
The What: The problem they are facing that you help solve.
The reason you're even in business is to help someone solve a problem. It could be a serious problem, like someone struggling with their health. Or it could be a serious problem of a different nature, like a millionaire who doesn't know which yacht to buy.
No, I'm not comparing these two problems, I'm just saying that a problem is serious if your client thinks it's serious. And if you think it's worth solving, and you have the product or service that helps, voila, you've got a business.
When you have a problem, what do you do with it? That's right you, you focus on it. You struggle with it, complain about it, dream about it, wake up at 3am about it. It's in front of you all the time.
If you name the problem, you'll have their attention, especially after you've named the two Who's, because there will be no doubt you are talking to them.
While it's true that identifying your Who-Who-What is not the easiest job in the world, it is the most powerful thing you can do for your business. And, when you test it on your friends, don't be surprised if, instead of "Oh, I like that." you hear: "Wow, can I hire you?"Sunday, October 7, 2007

Here's a breakdown of the steps you need to take to build your
site and make it "live" -- as well as lots of FREE resources you

for domain names

possible domain names with popular keywords

name is available
>> For registering domains: www.GoDaddy.com

list them all here.
The top 6 *proven* site design tips
1. WRITE AN ATTENTION-GRABBING HEADLINE
Your headline is the *MOST* IMPORTANT part of your site!
Here's why: you have LESS than 10 seconds to get your visitors'
attention, and show them you've got the perfect solution to their
problem. So the first thing they should see is a headline that
clearly states the biggest benefit your site has to offer.
Your headline should be located at the very top center of your
page in a larger font size that naturally attracts attention.
And it should tell visitors exactly how your site will make their
lives easier... save them money... save them time.. provide
additional income... or simply make them feel better.
Use bolding, italics, and highlighting to emphasize the main
benefits in your headline, so they leap out and grab your
visitors' attention.
(But don't overdo it! Nothing screams "amateur" more than a site
that has too much fancy formatting.)
2. CREATE BENEFIT-DRIVEN SALESCOPY THAT *COMPELS* YOUR VISITORS
TO BUY
On the Internet, you don't have any face-to-face interaction with
your potential buyers -- so your salescopy needs to do the job
that a real-live salesperson would do. It has to introduce your
product, explain the benefits of using it, and sell potential
buyers on the value of your offer.
When you write your salescopy, you need to speak directly to your
visitors' needs -- and you need to focus on the BENEFITS of using
your product (as opposed to your product's features).
If you're having trouble telling a benefit from a feature, here's
an example: a feature of a product might be "sturdy polished
aluminum construction." The benefit would be "lasts longer so you
save money on replacement costs."
3. FOLLOW ESTABLISHED DESIGN PRINCIPLES
When you're designing the look of your site, choose a simple
color scheme and a couple of fonts and stick with them. Nothing
looks more amateurish than a mishmash of many different fonts and
colors. Also, resist the urge to add textures or use dark
backgrounds.
People don't come to your site to admire your elaborate design
scheme. They want to know about your offer. That's why you need
to make sure they can easily read your salescopy.
Also, avoid using unnecessary graphics and images. Unless your
image is serving a direct purpose (a picture of you, a product
shot, etc.), it's going to take attention away from your sales
message. Same goes for animation, audio and video.
Remember: You're not trying to amuse or entertain with your site.
Your goal is to SELL!
4. INCLUDE A STRONG CALL TO ACTION
Don't make your visitors guess what they're supposed to do on
your site. You must give them a strong call to action and tell
them exactly what you want them to do!
Let's say you sell a stress-relief product. Your copy might say
something like...
"After doing research and testing, I found a set of really
fabulous relaxation tapes that solved my recurring migraine
problems, improved my sleep, and increased my energy level -- in
just a few days!
Click here now to learn how they can soothe your troubles away
and lead to a healthy and happy life."
5. ESTABLISH YOUR CREDIBILITY
Why should someone buy from you? What makes YOUR information more
reliable than your competitors? You need to provide answers to
these questions, so visitors feel comfortable buying from you.
One of the best ways to establish your credibility is to list
your accomplishments, qualifications, and experience -- so long
as they're related to your offer. Once you've sold some product
and are getting testimonials from satisfied customers, be sure to
include them on your site as well.
6. MAKE IT *IMPOSSIBLE* FOR SOMEONE TO SAY NO!
By building a lot of value into your offer, you can make people
feel like saying "no" would actually cost them money! You can
achieve this by carefully explaining how much money -- or time,
or trouble -- your solution will save them.
At the same time you need to pile on the bonuses, so people feel
like they're getting way more product than they're paying for.
So these are my website tips in a nutshell, Nizam.
I hope you find them useful!
Of course, there's not enough room in this simple email to
explain absolutely everything you need to know about site design
in detail. This is just to get you started.

do -- along with hundreds of other tips and strategies you can
use to be successful on the Internet -- I suggest you check out

25 Top Tips for handling homework
1 GET ORGANIZED
Keep homework supplies close at hand.
“Mom! Where’s the stapler?” To avoid digging through
drawers, create a cache of homework supplies and
keep it close to where your child works. Dedicate a
desk drawer, box, or bin with often-used items.The
supply list provided by the teacher is a great resource.
Or use the list to the right as a starting point.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
2 OPTIMIZE THE ENVIRONMENT
Be flexible about your child’s study place.
Not every child works best sitting at a desk in a
silent room. Ask your child how he likes to study—
lying on the floor, sitting on his bed with a lap desk,
or at the kitchen table amidst the bustle of dinner
preparations. Some kids like background noise;
others prefer quiet. While television is almost always
a distraction, music is welcome white noise to many
kids. Your child’s favorite study environment might
change as he grows and may vary depending upon
the type of work. The key is to be flexible while
ensuring that homework is completed.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
3 CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER
Set aside everything not related to the task at hand.
When your child comes home in a panic because of
homework assignments in multiple subjects, ease her
overwhelmed feeling by helping her focus on one
thing at a time. Review everything that needs to be
done and choose one assignment to start with.
Gather and organize the materials needed to
complete the chosen task and set everything else
aside until it’s time to tackle the next assignment.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
4 USE A PLANNER
Use a homework planner to record assignments.
Help ensure that all your child’s homework arrives
home each day by teaching him to record each
assignment as it’s given. A daily planner (print or
electronic) or assignment sheet provides a central
place to record assignments. He can review the sheet
at the end of each day and make sure the needed
materials are in his book bag. If necessary, his
teacher can review and initial the assignment sheet to
ensure the assignment was recorded correctly.
GRADES 4 THROUGH 12.
5 BOOKMARK IT
Save links to useful reference sites on the Internet.
The Internet is full of helpful “homework help”
websites. These sites, divided by subject, can help
your child with tricky assignments and research
projects. Another benefit: in order to find the right
information, your child must first understand what
she needs to know, and that’s the first step toward
solving a problem. Save the addresses of a few of
these sites in the “Favorites” file of your web browser.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
6 BUILD A LIBRARY
A home reference library is an invaluable
homework aid. A small library of reference materials, in either print or
electronic form, can be a handy resource for your child.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
7 STICK TO A SCHEDULE
Schedule time for homework every day—and stick
to it.When school starts each fall, schedule homework into
your family’s daily routine. With your child, agree on a
specific time period for doing homework, including
some weekend time. Even when there are no
assignments to complete, adhere to the schedule by
using homework time for review or reading.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
8 EASE INTO IT
Avoid an abrupt transition from playtime to
homework.
It can be hard for kids to switch from playing or other
pleasurable activities to concentrating on homework.
Make the transition easier by giving your child a small
task before she settles down to work. Assigning a job
she usually does without a fuss creates a more gradual
shift from play to homework and puts your child in a
“work” frame of mind.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
9 GET OFF TO A GOOD START
Help your child get started with homework, then
back off.If your child is unsure about an assignment, set him
on the right track by sitting together and reviewing
the instructions. Check his understanding by having
him explain how he will proceed, then stay close by
while he answers the first few questions. With his
confidence built, you can back off and let him
complete the rest of the assignment on his own.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
10 KEEP THINGS IN ORDER
Tackle assignments in the best sequence for
your child.
When your child has several homework assignments,
some she can breeze through and others that take
more effort, which should she tackle first? That
depends on your child and on the particular mix of
assignments. Starting with easier work and moving
toward the more challenging builds your child’s
confidence. On the other hand, getting the tough stuff
done first lets her breathe a sigh of relief. Try both
approaches to see which works best. But don’t be
afraid to mix it up—if she’s frustrated with a tricky
assignment, suggest she set it aside in favor of
something easier. She’ll return to the challenging
assignment refreshed and with renewed determination.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
11 TAKE TIME OUT
Set a timer to pace homework sessions.
If your child has difficulty focusing on homework long
enough to complete it in one sitting, use a kitchen
timer to set agreed-upon study and break times. Work
together to estimate the total work time needed, and
then break the total into smaller chunks. Thirty
minutes of math homework might be broken into two
15-minute work periods with a five-minute stretching
or snack break. Adjust the work and break intervals to
suit your child’s age, temperament, and the intensity
of the homework.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
12 PLAN FOR THE LONG HAUL
Set intermediate goals for long-term projects.
Make long-term projects manageable by helping your
child break the project into smaller goals. Set a target
for when each goal will be met, leading to completion
of the entire project. This process helps your child
focus on a smaller aspect of the assignment, keeps
him motivated, and teaches him planning skills.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
13 ASK LEADING QUESTIONS
When your child hits a roadblock, ask questions that
guide her to the answer.
Rather than giving your child the answer when she’s
stuck, ask questions to get her thinking about how to
solve the problem on her own. If she’s stumped by a
math problem, look at the last problem she successfully
solved. Ask, “What was the first step you took to
solve this one?” Lead her through the steps until the
tricky one becomes clear. Your questions will prompt
her to take small steps toward breaking a roadblock.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
14 BE A ROLE MODEL
Use your child’s homework time to do your
own work.
When your child sits down to tackle homework, join
him by taking care of your own “homework” at the
same time. Choose chores that are interruptible if
your child needs your help and set a good example by
not working while watching television.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 8.
15 STAY POSITIVE
Let your own upbeat attitude toward learning rub off
on your child.
If your child senses that you dread homework
sessions, she’ll dread them too. A positive attitude,
particularly when your child is facing a tough
assignment, goes a long way toward taking the
tedium out of the daily work. Keep in mind, though,
that teachers are sometimes unreasonable in the
timing or amount of homework they assign. Help your
child resolve such challenges by asking the
school/teacher what their homework policy is.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
16 LET GO OF RESPONSIBILITY
Avoid rescuing your child from homework
emergencies.
All kids, at some point, forget their homework or put it
off until it becomes a crisis. When that happens, avoid
stepping in to fix things. Instead, guide your child
through the steps needed to salvage the situation. If
he’s forgotten his assignments, for example, sit with
him while he checks the school’s homework web page
or calls a classmate. If an assignment cannot be
completed on time, instead of writing a note to the
teacher yourself, have your child write it, explaining
why the work is late and requesting an extension.
Both of you should sign the note. Letting your child
take responsibility for his mistakes gives him valuable
problem-solving experience.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
17 BE AN ADVISOR
Be available for help as a consultant.
Your child’s homework is hers to do, not yours. Let her
know that you are willing to help but limit yourself to a
consultant role. Avoid evaluating your child’s work
unless she specifically requests your opinion. It’s OK
to point out mistakes, but let your child decide
whether to correct them. Seeing the errors will help
the teacher understand your child’s learning process.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
18 CALL IN ASSISTANCE
Recognize when outside help is required.
There may be times when you are not the best person
to help your child with homework. If working together
leads to frustration, look for outside help. This need
not mean costly tutors or joining a homework center.
You could, for example, make a trade with a
classmate’s parent: you agree to work with both kids
on English assignments if she takes on science. Or
recruit an older sibling or your spouse. It’s better to
maintain your relationship as a loving parent than get
into a cycle of anger and aggravation over homework.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
19 KNOW WHEN TO CALL A HALT
Sometimes you have to say “enough is enough.”
Everyone has his limit, and there may be occasions
when your child becomes too tired or frustrated to
continue on an assignment. That’s the time to stop. If
possible, your child can return to the assignment later
on. When the work is due the next day, write a note to
the teacher explaining that he completed as much as
he could. Know when to be your child’s ally and avoid
letting homework push him to the brink of a meltdown.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
20 KEEP A HOMEWORK HISTORY
File completed assignments for quick reference.
Completed homework assignments are a valuable
resource. Your child can refer to them to check how
he solved problems in the past, see progress made in
each subject, and detect patterns of errors. To set up
a homework history, create a color-coded file folder
for each subject. File completed assignments in order
as his teacher returns them.

21 MAKE THE GRADE
Take the time to review your child’s graded
assignments.
Make a point of reviewing your child’s homework
assignments after they have been graded and
returned by the teacher. This review is an opportunity
to praise work done well and progress made. You will
also see trouble spots and areas where extra practice
is needed. When you treat homework as an important
part of school and learning, your child will value its
importance too.

22 REWARD PROGRESS
Give your child small rewards for reaching goals.
Providing an occasional reward for reaching
homework goals can be a great motivator. When your
child faces a particularly difficult assignment, offering
an incentive (such as letting her choose the next
movie rental) could be just what she needs to get
through it. Also consider incentives for longer-term
goals like completion of a complicated project.
Rewarding her for hard work is similar to promising
yourself, “When I finish painting the back door, I’m
going to sit down and read for a while.”

23 TURN YOUR CHILD INTO A TEACHER
Encouraging your child to teach you gives him
confidence.
It’s true that teaching others reveals how much you
really know. Turn the tables on your child and have
him show you how to complete his assignments. Ask
a lot of “how,” “why,” “when,” and “who” questions.
Giving explanations helps your child think through
concepts and step-by-step processes and discloses
areas where more work is needed. You can then work
together to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

24 KEEP IT INTERESTING
Tie homework to your child’s interests
whenever possible.
Kids are often able to choose their own topic for
homework assignments or projects. Use those
opportunities to relate the work to something your
child is passionate about. For example, if an English
assignment requires that your child write five
compound sentences, suggest that she write about
her favorite hobby, a recent family trip, or her pet. The
work goes faster and is more fun when your child is
truly engaged in the subject.
GRADES 1 THROUGH 12.
25 CHANGE THE SCENERY
Try tackling homework in an unusual location.
Make homework time a special occasion by moving
the study area to an offbeat place. Set up homework
camp in a tent in the backyard or living room. Spread
out under a tree or in a tree house. Try the top bunk
or even a walk-in closet. Just be sure to take along all
the usual homework supplies so everything your child
needs is close at hand.
