MAKE A MILLION $ PER MONTH.
No work involved.
Do it whilst sitting on the beach at Maliboo.
This may sound a bit extreme but how many adverts have you seen that are similar to it?
The trouble is that so many newcomers to the internet get taken in by this sort of hype. No wonder that so many get disillusioned and wrap up and go away never to return.
It is a real pity that this sort of thing is allowd to happen. If only people would tell the truth they would get a far better response to their adverts.
Tell it as it is.
With the right information and a little incentive it is possible to start a business working from home, using nothing more than a desktop computer and something to sell.
Starting a business is easy. Earning money from it is a different thing. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work.
Just a minute!
What do we mean by ‘hard work’?
Sitting at a keyboard for a couple of hours a day does not sound like hard work to those who are used to physical effort.
Never-the-less, If the typing was all that was required it would be a doddle.
There is more to it than that.
For instance:
Devising an advertising strategy takes a certain amount of expertise. That is something that the average Jack or Jill needs to learn, either the hard way from expreience, or the much easier way by asking the right questions from the right people.
What a lot of newcomers do not understand is that whatever they need to know, there is someone out there who is willing to give them the answers.
Willing to take them by the hand and guide them on the path to success.
That is something that you don’t get in normal business circles.
There are thousands of websites out there offering genuine help to those who need it. A lot of them have an ulterior motive, they have something to sell but that does not mean that the advice that they give is not useful. Would you buy from someone who gave you poor advice?
If they give advice that you can trust, perhaps you will trust them enough to purchase something from them at a later date. That is quite ethical.
Always remember: If something seems too good to be true, you can bet your boots that it is.
Most of the con artists are pretty obvious, but make sure that you keep your ears and eyes open at all times.
Enjoy your work and make a lot of money. You can do it if you try.
All the best in your endevours.
Bob.
Hard Work!
Don’t Give Up Your Day Job
Someone called me the other day and talked about how he is going to need to make some money soon and wanted to start up a web site. I explained that the two concepts did not necessarily go together.
My advice? Well, for what it’s worth, I would say forget everything you ever knew about brick and mortar businesses and start all over again.
A solid business plan for a web business is really going to elude you until you get in there and get your feet wet first. It ain’t that easy. There are a lot more people selling get rich quick packages than there are people getting rich. You must surf and read, surf and read, surf and read. After a few months figure out who does have some real business credibility and follow that person and the links he or she connects to. Do something you know how to do and dissect it until you can find a niche. Starting a web business without the basic knowledge of whatever business you pick is fool hardy at best. Don’t pay for information you can get for free. Those first months of surfing should give you some pretty good leads. Don’t go it alone. Find a friend, mentor or relative to bounce ideas off of. Be open to honest feedback. You know who will give you honest opinions and who will not. I love my relatives but we will never be in business together.
Study the business you want to get into and how it works on the web.
Research the concept, develop a rough plan and refine as you continue to research. Plan, plan, plan. Don’t touch your retirement savings.
Take a look at a real business plan, (you can find them free on the web) and start sketching in your ideas. Revise it at least ten times. Be realistic about money. It’s expensive to market anything on the web, -you’ll need to learn to find additional ways to get the word out.
Spend much of your free time in bookstores or libraries perusing books on marketing, sales, web design, budgeting, time management and personal success stories. I think book stores tend to have more of the most current stuff as far as web marketing is concerned.
Build an alternate plan for your business plan. Make a contingency plan. Make a goal sheet with target dates. What do you (your name) need to learn more about in order to operate on the web in addition to your craft? Web design? Marketing? Search Engines? Self promotion? Again, follow the leaders – err on the conservative side and stay objective. Can you sell? Selling your goods, selling yourself, and selling your credibility is more important for the success of any web business than you can imagine right now.
You might want to make an appointment with a person at SCORE at the Small Business Administration. They have all been through the fire, can give you realistic feedback, show you how to develop a business plan and where to look for financing.
Don’t give up your dream. But don’t give up your day job yet either.

If you are looking to locate death records and do not know where to start, the internet is probably your best bet. There are tons of websites that will allow you to gain access to the information that you are looking for. The best way to find these sites is by typing “death records” into your favorite search engine. This will give you several different options on where to locate what you are looking for.
The first thing that you will notice when getting your results back will be that you can get access to death records through the health departments of most states. This is information that can be had by the public. In order to gain access to this information you will need to supply the site with some information. First off you are probably going to have to register with the site. Many times you can also only gain access if you have a valid reason on why you need to search death records (newspaper, news story, etc.) Next, many of the state health departments charge the user a small fee in order to access these records. The fee is not usually more that a few dollars and can be easily paid by credit card.
There are also several independent companies that keep death records on file. These companies gain access to this information the same way that you would through the state health departments. They contact all of the state health departments and get all of the records in order to have a one stop shop for anyone that may need this information. Some of these companies can include private and public hospitals, various businesses that require the withholding of health records.
Death records can be found on the internet with relative ease. Just get started with a simple search and you will be well on your way to obtaining all of the information that you could possibly want.
Advertising Does it Matter?
When advertising, you need to sell your opportunity, your products and yourself. What sets you apart from everyone else? Maybe you produce a newsletter with a specific content where there is a demand from a particular group of people, or you promote your own special product that no one have not yet seen. That´s a huge benefit! That´s what you need to sell in your ad campaign, and those are the things you need to do in order to become successful.
You don´t have to be worried that network marketing prosperity is difficult. It isn´t. In fact, it has never been so easy to make a decent second income or even a full time. But it takes time, persistence and uniqueness.
The people looking at your ads and reading your follow up letters are going to judge you and your whole business not only by what the materials have to say, but also by their appearance.
Be sure you send a powerful, positive and convincing message. Invest some time and money on your marketing materials, the payoff will be well worth it. Look at others ads on the Internet, see what´s attracting you, this will most likely attract others too.
Do you see what I have in mind? Your advertising campaign will be the propel to your business success. By now you think “How do I create one of those successful ads” After all, It´s the words that sell your opportunity. Write a good ad and It´s taking you to the top. Read others ads, get some good ideas from it, don´t copy it, that´s theft. Just get some inspiration from it.Let your friends take a look at your new written ad and say what they think about it, honestly.
Now where to put your ad? If you place your ad in a pets publication and the ad is promoting toys for children you might not get a single response. But placed in the right publication it will be a winner. It´s very important that you from the beginning know exactly where to put your ad. Just think about you having spent hours on that ad and then you put it in the wrong publication and get no response at all, that´s a big waste of time and effort.
My best advise is that you always work on your ads. Write them down, leave them for some time, go back to look at them again, let others look at them and after a while you will see the picture of your ad and you will se if it´s working or not. If not then you have to start from the beginning and write a new one and follow the same procedure again. But now it´s easier because you are deeply involved in the process.
The Internet are full of ads, start clicking around and read others ads, this is the best way to learn what is working or not. You probably can tell instantly when an ad is good or not at least after a while.

So you are an internet marketer and you want to make money right? Or maybe you are just somebody with a product or service to sell that is looking for innovative ways to get your stuff in front of more customers eyes and increasing the size of your market share. Either way you have come to the right place to read about an excellent form of advertising called banner advertising that takes advantage of the wave of the future—the internet. The internet allows your market to instantly be any where in the world that there is a computer and that you can then ship your product or provide your service. Now some of the more traditional type services like doctors, plumbers, etc. will be limited by the geography naturally but this is still a great way to advertise in your area as more and more people are getting on the internet daily.
What is banner advertising you say? Well it is an ad that is placed on a website that is not related to the ad but preferably is one that lots of people will hit. It is an ad that usually is in some sort of image file and often contains typical words and pictures as well as animation and sound which are becoming popular “hooking” techniques. The ad is usually short and wide or tall and narrow and this is why it is referred to as a banner. When a customer wants to see more they simply click on the banner and are taken via an embedded link to another page which is typically the sales page. If the product is something that you can purchase online or download it is done through this page. Otherwise it is just more exposure for the advertiser.
Another good question is why would the host website allow the ad to be on their page? Well just like any form of advertising the advertiser pays for time or in this case space. Most often with banner advertising the deal is worked out according to how many clickthroughs happen in a given amount of time. Usually the cost is five to ten cents per click.
How would I get my advertisement on a page? Well again just like other forms of advertising there are many ways to do it. You could personally contact the owner or operator of the site and work out a deal, or you could hire and advertising firm that does all of that work for you. Most often it is this second form that is used and these advertising companies will place the ad on multiple different sites and collect the fees, and paying the site’s owner or operator.
Avoid these advertising mistakes at all costs!

People have taken a number of approaches trying to do their own advertising ranging from silly all the way to insulting. These people choose there approach for various reasons. Some were ignorant about advertising and marketing while others were acting on incorrect information – usually in the form of cliches such as “sex sells.” If you’re in doubt, I can assure you that unless your business is in Nevada, sex does not sell. If you’re going to handle your own advertising, here are a few things to avoid:
Pictures that have nothing to do with your product or service – If your company is in the carpet cleaning business there is no reason to have a picture of a baby. No one is going to say “What a cute baby, I think I want this company to clean my carpets.” The same goes for pictures of sexy people (male or female) in provocative poses and little clothing.
Cheesy headlines – I actually saw an ad with a headline that said “We might be able to afford a bigger ad if you’d buy something from us.” Yes, this will probably get someone’s attention, but do you want to be remembered as the company that is having financial problems?
Illegible fonts – Most people will not take the time to decipher your ad when it is written in brush script, in which case, even the most persuasive copy is rendered useless. You want to use simple, clean fonts for headlines and body copy. Save the artistic fonts for accents and things of that nature.
Advertising using Power Words
Advertising using Power Words
Word cannot only influence the minds of people but can completely change their perception abut a particular thing. Words have the persuasion power to entice and motivate. They are used by the politicians, public relations personals, and even by parents to pass on their message. These words are known as power words and they can do wonders when used in advertisement.
New or improved words create a sense of curiosity. The customers get an impression that the product is something that is different from others and he tries to get it before anyone else does so as to have edge over others. The laundry products have always been advertised as new and improved, from years. Although it can be either new improved version of the existing product, but the power of both the words and the product reinforces each other’s strength.
Take for instance the line ‘Money back guarantee’, these power words helps gain the trust of the customer. It is a must to print these words at the closing line of an advertisement. After this sentence, the methods of payment and how money will be returned if the customer is not satisfied should be stated.
Most of the successful advertisements have a little known secret that surely generated curiosity within the reader. People are knowledge thirsty, they want to know what others do not know. They think that there is some vital information they are missing because of which they haven’t gained success in something particular.
Words ‘Insider say that’, is similar to ‘secret’. It gives out information from some expertise that is still unknown to the outside world and only if the customer gives money, information will be divulged to him.
Free word in the headline of the message simply does wonders. The reader easily absorbs the message, unless and until something free is given to the customer in reality. By any change, if the company tricks the customer into paying money for something, which was supposed to be free, the trust of the customer is lost instantly. Usually the word FREE is spelled as FR~E on websites as ISP filters blocks messages having the actual word, considering it to be some kind of spam.
You is a very important word to be used in an advertisement. It directly points out the advantages to the customer, if he buys a particular product or service. Step into the shoes of the customer and try to note down the points which will be of benefit and what points will decrease the interest. The advantages then should be referred to the customer by addressing them with ‘you’. The customer feels that he is being directly talked to.
The word ‘Immediately’ rings in the emergency. It can be interpreted as ‘Don’t wait any longer, get it now!’ This motivates the customer to take some necessary and quick action.
Power in itself is a powerful word. Give that power to the consumer and see the magic. This gives the consumer a feeling that he can get possession of something that he lacked till now and this could make him achieve the impossible.
The basis of a successful advertisement is to understand the consumer’s needs and then design the advertisement accordingly. Just stating the advantages of using the product or service of the company isn’t enough. Sentence should be so designed that the customer should see his advantage in the product. For example, when advertising for a digital camera, just stating that the in-built memory of the camera is of 1 GB, won’t do the trick. Instead, the sentence should be changed to ‘enough memory to store 350 pictures or 50 videos’. The solution to the problem of the customer is reflected in this sentence. Ideas can be taken from advertisements of other similar brands like how the sentences are written and placed in an advertisement. After the sentence framing, adding power words to spice up the advertisement will definitely make a winning ad campaign.

There are numerous success stories you will hear about businesses making it good on the internet . The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories inconsistent to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business venture that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.
Is this because of luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the persistence to learn and the willingness to put in a lot of hard work and some money.
However, before shelling out your hard-earned money on advertising, here are three (3) smart reasons why you should consider paying for your traffic including common-sense methods of showing you how to prepare your website.
- The quickest method for getting customers to your website is to pay for your traffic.
Like Neo, traffic is ‘The One’ . Without traffic, all your efforts would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the Internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you possess the more people you’d be able to sell your products to.
But similar to any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy. But for those who do come in to browse your merchandise, most of them will buy your products. It is a clear and known fact.
But, how do you get traffic, traffic great enough that could make a small portion of resulting buyers enough to make a fair profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to supply them with adequate business.
Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people who know that your site exists the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense.
While there are numerous ways to get free advertising for your business, free advertising doesn’t generate the same high volume of traffic as paid traffic does. Paid advertisements include such advertising schemes as those offered by Google and Yahoo.
- In order to take full advantage of the search engines, make sure that your site is properly optimized to rank high before paying for your traffic.
Search engines are the fastest and easiest way for finding what you need on the internet . Search engines are extremely popular because they provide an indispensable service to many people. They are free and easy to use. Because of their popularity, search engines receive many visitors as well as click throughs . With these benefits in mind, it is easy to see why so many companies would pay to advertise with search engines.
Search engines provide information to the millions of users they receive each day. They provide relevant links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your site’s link pops up as one of the top ranked sites on the search results page, you stand a great chance that the user will click your link and go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.
When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for guaranteed traffic to your site. This may not seem like a good idea at first, but the benefits of doing so far outweigh the cost in the long run. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed a consistent flow of traffic to your site. You will at no time go without making a sale on any given day.
- Find and use tools that will aid you in researching relevant keywords for your chosen niche so that you don’t waste money on advertising.
Normally, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ad is clicked, this is known as pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools on the Internet which can aid you in using the right keywords at the right moment in time.
All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for nothing. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result in a great boost in your sales figures.

Basics About Burning Software
Basics About Burning Software
When getting into CD duplication, it would be much easier if all software and hardware options were created equally. However, this is not the case for different applications and how they work with the process of burning CDs. If you are ready to start duplicating on a larger level, you want to make sure that your computer software or hardware matches up with the information you are getting ready to burn.
Before deciding on any type of software, it is important to make sure that you know which operating system that you are using and how the software will compliment it. Typically, there are different types of software for Macs or for Windows PCs. Within this category are different software options depending on the year of the PC as well as the operating system that is used within it. For example, if you have Windows 98, you will need to find software that is compatible with this type of system.
Once you know what type of system you need to have the software be compatible with, you can then look into the features that are best for the system. For instance, many of the software options are now coming with packages so that you can master, design and duplicate all in one area. This is good if you are interested in making personalized designs. Other software features will have these options, but will be divided into packages so that you will have more options available for space saving during the duplication process.
This is not only divided by the specific duplication files that can be used, but also includes the ability to divide the preferences in software depending on what type of duplication machine that you have. This format can be specific to silk screening, laser printing or other duplication machines. The importance of this is defined in the ability to specify the colors used in the graphics, the printing capacities and the best way to put everything together.
With these various options for your software, are also the capacities and characteristics that you want your software to carry, no matter what type of brand you choose to get. The number one priority that is a part of this is ensuring that the software has the proper back up, so that you can store a large amount of media and keep data that is critical for longer periods of time. This back up should not only be available for your hard drive, but should also allow you to store any type of media in any set network.
After this, you will also want to specify what types of components you want within your one type of software. For instance, some software now comes with combined abilities, such as duplication, extraction and mastering. Others will allow you to format for different types of CDs or data, including everything from Flash presentations to music or audio. Knowing what you will need in designing and preparing every type of CD can help you to find the right software for your needs.
With the combined qualities and options of burning application software, you can then find the best possibilities in designing and defining every part of your CD. The capabilities in the software is one that should carefully be looked into, especially when finding the best ways to place together the CD that you are envisioning.
10 Tips to Prepare your CD for Duplication
10 Tips to Prepare your CD for Duplication
Are you ready to put together your perfect CD? If so, make sure that you set everything up right. Once you have something ready for CD duplication, there is no turning back to getting it printed exactly the way that you want to. These tips will help to ensure that everything is set up the way that you want it to be.
1.Does it sound right? Make sure that all of your mixing and mastering for audio is complete. That means that all of the songs should have the same volume of sound and should be even across the entire CD. You don’t want to get into the duplication area and have to turn up and down the volume for every track.
2.Always double check the details. The combination of your CD data or music with the outward information, such as the table of contents, should always be in the same spot. Always re-check before duplication to make sure that everything you have on each track is in the correct place.
3.Graphics. There is nothing that sells a CD more than graphics. You want to make sure that everything is in the right place with the right formats, as well as the right colors. Spending a lot of time to get the perfect look is important, for both the CD and for the package.
4.Check your wording. Inside and out, you should make sure that your wording is right. This means everything from giving credit where credit is due to putting the right tracks with the right songs in the right place. Look at other CDs to see what the correct formatting is and how you can be as close to professional as possible.
5.Copyright. No matter what type of CD you are duplicating, make sure that you claim it as being yours. Get your CD copyrighted and set up correctly before you try to distribute it anywhere.
6.Pay attention to the formatting. There are a lot of formatting options that are available for CD duplication. You can have everything from a one page insert to a 10 page insert, as well as back areas for wording. You want to make sure that you have the correct wording, as well as the correct placement in every area of the jacket.
7.Visualize the package. With the ability to package and replicate in different ways, are also options to create packages. You can have more than just a jewel CD case and more than one shape to your CD. Before you start duplicating, make sure that you know how you want your package to look.
8.Know what you want to say. With the idea of the package are several options for what goes inside your CD. Do you just want to have a list of your songs, or do you want to give lyrics? What type of information do you think is important? Things that should always be included are the copyright, a list of those who helped to put together the CD and information on where to contact you. Your wording will depend on how much duplication you want to do outside of the CD as well as what type of case you are getting for your CD.
9.Do a test run. Even if you are using a professional service, make sure that you test one or two copies of your CD before entering into hundreds of copies. This will ensure that everything is in the right place, is worded correctly and does exactly what you want it to do.
- Get outside opinions. Other than those who are already working on the CD, make sure to check with some outside voices on how your CD looks and sounds. The main part of your CD is selling a product. You want to make sure that it is appealing, has the right information and turns out with high quality. Getting other opinions on all of these areas can help you to understand if your CD is being manufactured the correct way.
Like with every other area of putting together a CD, preparing for the duplication process is one that is just as important. You want to make sure to pay attention to the details and ensure that you don’t have to back track or re-print any of your CDs. Preparing the correct way and knowing what you need in the beginning will allow you to save time and money when beginning the process of duplication.
