Do You Know How To Build a “Can’t Lose” Wall of Success Around You?

August 16, 2008

It’s simpler than you might think yet so few people really implement it.

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

As a home business owner and Internet Marketer, to say I spend numerous hours reading online forums would be a gross understatement.

There is more value than you can imagine in online forums, whether it’s a forum on CNBC or a local forum created by weekend warriors in your home town.

While spending a little time on a new forum I’ve been reading, someone asked me…. What have I learned the most while on this forum…..

My answer was an immediate no-brainer.

Besides learning just how much coffee one needs to consume to stay awake at all hours of the night reading all the great posts from people all over the world, I would say the things I learn while reading forum posts are immeasurable. They’re of infinite importance to my success in making money in my own Internet Home Business.

The diverse nature of most forums help broaden my own knowledge base and help elevate my skills to new levels. In addition, I end up learning a great deal about myself. I learn what my strengths are and more importantly I learn what my weaknesses are. If you own your own Internet Home Business, or just want to someday create your own Home Internet Business, knowing your weaknesses is of paramount importance. By knowing my weaknesses, I can make an informed decision to either build those skills so I can do things for myself, or I can simply choose to outsource those tasks to someone who does possess the necessary skills. And where do I typically find those people I outsource to? Well on forums about the same topics, of course.

Are you starting to see how much value you can start to pull from taking a little time to open your mind to a new set of stimuli?

In answer to the original question and per the subject line of this article, I would have to say the “SINGLE” most important thing in “Building a Can’t Lose Wall of Success Around You” is by surrounding yourself with like-minded, success-oriented, and genuine people who are willing to help and who are receptive to your own suggestions.

This is by far one of the most important aspects of achieving success there is. You want to surround yourself with people who are heading in the direction you want to go or who have already made it there.

It’s that simple. It really is.

Find a group of people who are already successful in doing what you want to do and simply learn from them and do what they do. If that group doesn’t exist, then start your own and help others grow with you.

Just remember that nothing happens overnight. Real and honest success takes time but if there is another thing I’ve learned in my hours upon hours in forums, it’s the following;

You only fail once you give up.

If you’re interests lie in learning how to make extra money in your own business, then you may want to look at just the type of forum I’ve been talking about.

It’s called “IM Simple” - Internet Marketing Made Simple.

Take a few minutes now and read through some of the posts.

You just may find the perfect business model for you.

Do You Know The Holy Grail of Internet Marketing?

July 31, 2008

Collecting e-mail addresses of loyal subscribers is one of the most important things you can do to help promote your business. Better known as a “Lead Capture System“. This one thing is more important than almost anything else you will do. How do you gather these needed addresses? Here are 7 Crazy-Simple Ways to Collect Email Addresses and Build Your Mailing List of Loyal Readers.

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

=> Way #1 - OFFER A FREEBIE

You have to give in order to receive. If you want people to offer up their email address, you’re going to have to offer up an incentive. It’s a fair trade - just make sure you offer value.

=> Way #2 - USE POP-UPS

Pop-ups are one of the most common methods you can use to capture email addresses and build your email list quickly and with ease provided you use them responsibly. Simply construct a web page containing code for a form and set the page to open (pop up) when visitors ENTER OR EXIT your site.

- Word to the Wise: If you need a pop-up, you can pick one up F-R-E-E (there’s that word again) from Empowerism at: Empowerism

=> Way #3 - USE POSTCARDS

If you have a mailing list that contains snail mail (street) addresses, convert it into an email list by sending out a postcard and inviting people to VISIT YOUR WEBSITE to receive a gift of some kind — a report, a discount coupon, etc. Visitors don’t have to pay in order to receive their gifts; they simply need to enter an email address. Plus, you’ll save a ton in postage.

=> Way #4 - SUBSCRIBER BOX ON EVERY PAGE

This is a clever trick that so many people overlook. Put a RESPONSE FORM ON EVERY PAGE of your website offering a newsletter or other freebie. This will increase the number of email addresses you capture exponentially.

- A Word to the Wise: If you don’t know how to create an opt-in form, no worries. Empowerism has a foolproof build your own tool made just for you! Just click below and create an account: at: Empowerism

=> Way #5 - CONTESTS

Contests very often prove to be a good way to generate traffic and buzz for your business. Create a contest and put a form on your site or in a pop-up box. The entry “fee” is their email address.

=> Way #6 - DISPLAY YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS

Most people give their website link when they place solo ads, ezine ads, or other marketing messages. To be one step ahead of the game in collecting email addresses, LIST YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS instead of your URL. This way you can capture email addresses and funnel them into your follow-up sales letters.

-Word to the Wise: Don’t have an autoresponder? GetResponse will give you one for free. Just click below and create a free account: at: GetResponse

=> Way #7 - JUST ASK

If you’re chatting with a prospect on the phone or a potential customer stops by your place of business, don’t be shy: ask for an email address or business card (which usually includes their email address).
