Top 10 Internet Marketing Tips For Your Home Based Business

1. Research, Research, Research.

Before starting any new business, find a market that is going to be profitable. Sit down, identify some of your areas of interest. Use keyword research to get to know the desires of your potential customers. Get to know your market well, and limit your investment until you know it will be a success.

2. Stand out from the crowd.

Don't choose a market that is already saturated if you are just starting out. Chances of failing are higher, and this can be disheartening. Choose a market that you can easily dominate, with competition that is either poor or limited.

White Papers - A Must-Have Marketing Tool

White papers are the sleeping giants of marketing tools. This is great news for businesses who haven't discovered them yet, because "[r]esearch indicates that IT executives examine an average of 30 white papers each year, that nearly 90% of executives find [them] helpful or extremely helpful and more than half claim white papers influence their buying decisions." That's according to Bitpipe online, February 2004.

What is a white paper?
A white paper is essentially a hybrid of a magazine article and a brochure. Its job is to educate first, then sell; it convinces readers they have a problem or need, then offers the company's product or service as the solution. They are effective in getting attention because their salesmanship is subtle. White papers position the company in a place of authority, trustworthiness, and expertise; they're a "soft sell," powerful for generating leads.

Internet Marketing Tips - Where On Earth Do I Begin?

I love to hang out at forums. Today, a new member came in and
said that he had a great idea for making money but didn't have
any clue on how to make web sites, how to create an autoresponder
series, how to put video on a page, how to advertise, and on and
on. Then he asks, "Where do I start?" You know, I understand the
frustration of the new marketer. I was there five years ago. I
still haven't forgotten the clueless look I must have had on my
face. I certainly haven't forgotten what it was like to have no
idea where to begin. So while the whole answer to this question
is way too long to include in one article, if you're just
starting out, this might help.

A Review of 3 Quick And Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List

This is a Review of the 3 Quick And Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List
"This is what everyone wants you to think and do."

So this is how it starts out:


You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.

In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn’t mean they are going to buy instantly.

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are two quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.

Big mistake joining a forum that has maybe 10,000 member "why?" Skip this and join Facebook fine it here at facebook.com last count they had 1 million or so.
Why hang out with the chicken when you can fly with the Eagles.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.
Wrong last time I check I did not know or care to know the person I got a Great deal on AC/DC t-shirt I purchase from EBAy.com You know the one from Back -n- Black will I guess you had to be there.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use. This is full of @#$$%$# Your product is not the problem, on the internet there is a guy who is selling a star to people you think you can buy a star. But there are people paying him money everyday. I say it also a show with Hannah Montana my daugter watches it all the time.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

Coaching - Think Outside the Box

Through both my articles and seminar series, I discuss the Art of Coaching quite frequently.
The Art of Coaching infers that it is not what you know as a coach that matters.
It's how you can relay it to young athletes.
This is a common concern I see especially with younger coaches just out of college and still looking to impress people with there high intellect and advanced vocabulary. In fact, out industry is littered with coaches who talk a great game, seek out as much PR and notoriety as they can, but don't truly have any degree of experience or ability when it comes to effectively applying training strategies to athletes in unique and varying settings.
In that, I want to discuss today a coaching strategy that I have used that truly enables young athletes to master a given technique.
Rewrite Strategies
If you have ever been driving in a car with a small group of teenagers and had a familiar song come on the radio, you have already experienced in practicality the essence of a rewrite strategy.
By most contemporary definitions, a rewrite strategy is simply "a teaching strategy designed to help students explore content area topics using music".
For the purposes of sport and training, it involves using common musical tunes to both learn and support the retention of a given set of instructions.
Those teenagers in your car, once they hear that familiar song, all begin to sing along - word for word. That is the point... we all tend to remember the lyrics of our favorite songs. Even if 20 years has past, we can still sing the words or hum the tune of a given song, because of music's innate ability to stay within the long-term memory of our brains.
Training Application
As you know, I am a strong proponent of teaching young athletes the skill set of a given exercise. That is, a 4-point instruction series on how to set-up their bodies prior to initiating movement (primary skill set) followed by a brief one or two instructions, which define the movement (secondary skill set).
Let's take the basic squat for example.
My secondary skill set is as follows:
Hips Back - To ensure that the athlete is driving into hip flexion/extension and using the powerful muscles of the hip to execute rather than the anterior thigh.
In-steps Off - To protect against valgus knee motions and further elicit a kinetic chain that runs outside heel to gluten medius.
Although the young athletes are taught this sequence and have it reinforced constantly, some youngsters may still fail to execute session to session.
The Art of Coaching
Many times in my career, I have used rewrite strategies to force these basic instructions into the vernacular of my young athletes' brain.
I challenge them to take the words of my skill set and place them into the tune of a favorite song or catchy jingle that they can recount at will. Once in the form of a common tune, the skill set literally comes alive to the young athlete and they can communicate it immediately. I even have them repeat the 'song' in their heads as they perform the movement.
One young athlete I trained comes to mind as I am writing this article. Her name was Mary and she couldn't seem to get her hips back during the eccentric phase of a squat. More over, her heels kept coming off the ground as she descended.
Her solution?
Mary wants to learn to squat
Learn to squat
Learn to squat
Mary wants to learn to squat
Hips back, insteps off
Say those words aloud to yourself...
Now sing them to the tune of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'.
Beware... rewrite strategies work and this little jingle may stay with you for some time!

Charter School Offers Top Technology for Parents

Global Village Academy is utilizing the latest technologies to increase their leaders’ efficiency and provide great communication to parents.

First year charter school, Global Village Academy, adds an additional cutting edge plan to their already innovative education style. The school offers language immersion in three world languages, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and French. They feature International Baccalaureate curriculum. From the start, as parents’ commitment to their children’s education, school enrollment involves parents offering 30 hours of volunteer service to the school. And now,
Principal Christina Burton and Vice Principal Debra Mitchell Salih have found yet another way to bring innovation to their school.

“As I was considering how I could best be an asset to the school while fulfilling my volunteer commitment, I considered my professional work and decided if I could donate my skills as a online and offline Success Coach, it would be an easy fit for me and very valuable to the school. The leaders at the school were open to the idea, so we began crafting a plan.” stated Michael Frazier, parent at Global Village Academy.

The first order of business was to set up an AskChristina.org website. The website is designed for parents to ask any question and the Principal to have the ability to address everyone collectively in a one hour call each week, so all parents can be informed of school happenings and the Principal can experience greater communication efficiency. In addition to having the ability to submit a question 24/7, the weekly call is recorded, so if a parent is unable to listen at the time of the interview call, they have the choice of hearing the call from their computer or even download it to their Mp3 players and listen on the go. This forum shows an openness that has never been seen in a Charter School or Public School before. This form of open communication and commitment to the parents on a weekly basis insures that they will have their questions addressed and is a great time management tool for both the Principal and the Vice Principal.

Michael Frazier conducts the Ask Christina interview calls and added, “I won’t allow her (Principal Christina Burton) to avoid the question. I have a vested interest in her answers, because my daughter attends the school. This brings a win-win concept to school communication. And all the parents have access to the same information.”
