Are you a biz opp junkie?

Do you hop from program to program, hoping to find the one that will 'make you rich overnight'? The truth is that building an online business is not for everyone. Most will fail. And it's because most people don't act. They may spend good money on information, but they don't act, they freeze. Or they are skeptical. Instead of analyzing, they criticize. You see, most people are not conditioned to be businesspeople. Like it or not, it's a fact of life. Without a boss guiding them around, telling them what to do and watching them over CCTV for 8 hours a day, they are lost. That's why it's important to have discipline and a goal. 99% of people who buy a program won't do anything with it. They let their doubts control them, rather than controlling their doubts. And of the 1% that do, only a small proportion will be successful. That's why it's important to analyze. If you're interested in a money-making program, do your research. If you feel it's suitable, put your heart and soul into it. Most of all, act!

How To Get People To Open The Emails You Send Them.

Subscribe to Our Content Updates
The race for supremacy in the internet based businesses has been really heating up and many sites have been put up to help others to get ahead for a small fee. But there are also ways in which you don't have to pay so much to make yourself a good list of loyal followers. Having a satisfied web traffic and visitors allows you to put up a foundation wherein you can build an opt-in list and make it grow from there.
An opt-in list allows you to provide newsletters to your subscribers with their consent. When people sign up, they know that they will be receiving updates and news from your site and the industry your represent via an e-mail. But that doesn't mean that all of those who subscribe read them at all. Many lists have been built due to an attachment with free software or for a promotional discount and such. Some are not really interested in receiving e-mails from companies and just treat them as waste of cyberspace and delete or trash them without so mush as opening the e-mail and scanning them.

You can change all that. While forwarding an email message is relatively after producing your newsletter. Getting people to open them is not as easy. You don't want to waste all the time and effort used in making the newsletters, you want people to read them and have their interests piqued. Interested enough to go to your website and look around and most especially purchased and acquire your products or services.

One of the numerous ways you can tempt or persuade your subscriber is by providing a well thought out and well written subject. The subject of an email is what is often referred to when a person or a recipient of an email decides whether he or she wants to open or read an e-mail. The subject could easily be regarded as one of the most important aspect of your promotional e-mail.

Your subject must be short and concise. They should provide a summary for the content of the e-mail so that the recipient will have basic knowledge of the content. This is really vital in grabbing the attention of your readers and subscribers. You want your subject to instantly grab the attention of your subscriber and get them to be intrigued to open up your mail. Remember, it is not necessarily true that a subscriber opens up subscribed mails.

A good subject must always be tickling the curiosity of your recipient. It must literally force the recipient to open the mail. A certain emotion must be ignited and get them to open the mail. It is essential to use specific words to get the reaction you need. Keep in mind that the recipient or subscribers spends only a few seconds looking over each subject of the e-mails he receives. You must grab your reader's attention right away.

There are many forms you can use for your subject. You can provide a subject that says your e-mail contains content that teaches them tips and methods on certain topics. An example of this is using keywords and keyword phrases such as, "How to" , "tips", "Guides to", Methods in and others like that.

You can also put your subject in a question form. These may include questions like, "Are you sick and tired of your job?" Or "Is your boss always on your case?" Try to stay on the topic that pertains to your site so that you'll know that your subscribers have signed up because they are interested in that topic. This form of subject is very effective because they reach out to your recipients emotions. When they have read the question on your subject, their mind starts answering the question already.

You can also use a subject that commands your reader. Statements such as "Act now and get this once in a lifetime opportunity", or "Double, triple and even quadruple what you are earning in one year". This type of subject deals with the benefits your company provides with your product and services.

You may also use breaking news as your subject to intrigue your subscriber. For example, if you deal with car engine parts you can write in your subject, "Announcing the new engine that uses no gasoline, It runs on water". This creates curiosity with the reader and will lead them to open the mail and read on.

IAHBE Review
by John Galvin

I have been a member of the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) for 3 years now and have found it to be an invaluable resource for the latest home business related news, tutorials, tips sofware and books, as well as a great way to get your hands on a number of valuable books, audios and software for free!

The IAHBE was launched back in January 2002 and has thousands of members from all over the world.

Here is a brief FAQ of the IAHBE to help you decide whether or not it is the right home business resource for you.

What are the benefits of an IAHBE membership?

The general benefit of the IAHBE is the huge wealth of information and resources for your home business. Your membership includes the following:

1) An Intropak worth over $1000
Everyone who joins the IAHBE receives a pack of information, gifts and discounts worth over $1000. At the time of writing this includes:

- A free subscription to the Home Business Connection magazine
- A free audio cassette "Underpaid and Overtaxed?"
- Free 30 day trial of Affiliate Mastery
- 15 Free Leads

Are there any drawbacks?

Although the majority of the resources in the IAHBE membership can be used by anyone regardless of their location, the free magazine subscriptions are generally only available to US residents and the free books have a higher shipping charge for those who are not based in the US. Despite this, there is still enough there for international members to make their membership worthwhile.

The cost of the IAHBE membership is $29.95 per month. If you are a member of SFI this will also qualify you as an Executive Affiliate (EA) for the lifetime of your membership.

How do I sign up?

Just click on IAHBE or become a member of SFI and purchase the IAHBE through the affiliate store.

The problem with article submission programs.

The Problem With Article Submission Programs

Most internet business owners understand that one of the best and cheapest ways to market their business is through article submissions. They also may know that manually submitting their article to the hundred or so different article directories can be a huge time consuming effort. They may be tempted to try out article submission programs. Before doing so, though, a business owner needs to first understand the problem with article submission programs.

Writing articles is a great way to advertise a business. This is for a couple ofreasons. First, it is free to do. There is no cost if the business owner writes their own articles and submission to directories is usually free. Secondly, it makes a business owner seem knowledgeable and like they are willing to share what they know with their customers or potential customers. This is a good selling point that will make the customer feel at ease and feel like they can trust and rely upon the business owner.

Articles can be submitted to directories through a process that involves registering and uploading the article to the directory files. Each article can contain a link that leads readers to the business owner's website. This is how they work as advertising. People read the articles, become interested in learning more and click through to the website.

Article submission software supposedly helps to speed up the submission process. Instead of going to each directory and manually filling out the forms and such, the article submission program does it automatically. There are problems with this idea, though.

First of all, these programs are not at all as easy to use as they may seem. Many contain formatting errors which make it very difficult to upload an article into the program. Secondly, many of them do not even check into duplicate submissions and therefore sometimes may make duplicate submissions to a directory. This hurts the business owner and can actually get them accused of spamming. Lastly, sometimes through the automated process things get mixed up and the link back is deleted or lost. This means the whole idea of using the article for advertising is lost. It is pointless to even go through the submission process at all when this happens, thus making the article submission programs basically worthless.

Article submission programs may make the whole process quicker, but it is just not as efficient or effective as manually submitting articles. There really is no reason to submit articles to all the directories. By choosing the most popular directories a business owner should do just fine. There are about 5 or 6 popular directories and that will not take too long for a business owner to sign up and submit articles.

The Fast & Easy Way to Start an Internet Home Business

The Fast & Easy Way to Start an Internet Home Business
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy


Many people think that starting an Internet home business is
hard. In fact, there is no business in the world that is
faster or easier to launch. If you have 15 minutes and a
connection to the Internet, I'll show you how to launch
your own Internet business right away.

Before you launch your first Internet home business, you
need to understand the basics. The first step of having a
business on the Internet is having your own website. This is
the major stumbling block for most people. They think
getting a website is expensive or difficult. It's neither
of those things. Actually, it's free and it's easy. In
fact, let's go ahead and get your first website setup right
now.

To do this I recommend using a free tool called Blogger.
Blogger is used for creating blogs on the fly, but a blog is
nothing more than a fancy name for a website. To set up your
blog website now visit: http://www.Blogger.com

Once you arrive, click the "Create Your Blog Now" button
on the page. On the next page enter a user name, password,
display name and email address. Then click "Continue". On
the next page enter a blog title and blog address. These can
be anything you want. Then enter the word verification code
and click "Continue". On the next page choose a template
for your blog (this is what your website will look like) and
click "Continue". Voila... Your blog/website has been
created!

Next, click the "Start Posting" button. A new page will
appear giving you the option to add content to your new
website. Write a title for your page in the "Title" field
and then write whatever you want that page of your website
to be about in the larger data entry field below the
"Title" field on that page. You can use the tools on that
page to change your fonts, make links, format your text, add
pictures, etc. When you're happy with what you've entered
into the page, click the "Publish Post" button. You just
created a new page on your website! On the next page
displayed, you'll see a link that says: "View Blog".
Click that link and you'll see your website live on the
Internet. Pretty easy, right?! ;-) Now you can wash, rinse,
repeat and create as many new pages on your website as you
want.

But let's turn your website into a business first. After
all, websites are a lot more fun once they are making money
for you.

Here's how:

Get back into your Blogger account and click the
"Template" tab. Then click the "AdSense" link near the
top of the page. AdSense is a simple but powerful program
that allows you to earn advertising revenue from your
website. Follow the easy instructions on that page to launch
your AdSense account instantly. On the next page click the
"Save" button to save AdSense into your website. Then on
the next page click the "Republish" button. Your website
will instantly be rebuilt now showing a Google AdSense ad at
the top of each page on your website. Every time someone
visits your website and clicks one of those ads, you earn
money from AdSense. You now have a moneymaking business
setup on the Internet. How long did that take? 15 minutes!

The only thing you need to do now to start the cash flowing
in is get people to visit your new website. One way to do
this would be to tell your friends and family about your
site. Here are two more easy things you can do to drive an
unstoppable flow of traffic to your new website:

Traffic Strategy 1: Tell all the major blog directories
about your new blog/website. To do this, visit
http://www.PingoMatic.com and enter your blog name, blog URL
(that's the link to your website generated by Blogger),
check all the boxes on that page and click the "Send
Pings" button. This will tell all the blog directories
about your new blog/website and you'll start getting some
traffic from interested visitors to those directories. Do
this each time you add a new page to your blog.

Traffic Strategy 2: Go back to your blog URL/home page and
click the "Next Blog" button at the top of the page. This
will take you to another blog of another Blogger user. Read
through a post or two on that person's blog and look for a
link that says "Comments" and click it. On the next page
you'll be able to type your comments and a link back to
your blog inside a form. Once you've added your comments,
click the "Login and Publish" button; and a link to your
site along with your comments will be added to that blog.
Repeat this process as many times as you want with other
blog websites. This will "link you in" to a network of
sites all over the Internet helping you drive a steady
stream of traffic to your blog.

Blogger is a great tool to launch your Internet home
business, but it's not the only tool you should be using.
To build a solid Internet home business that you can rely
on, you need to register your own domain name and website
hosting account. A domain name is your unique home on the
web that you own and control. Example: domain names are
yahoo.com, ebay.com, google.com, etc.

You could either register your own name as a domain or a
keyword of something related to the topic of your business.
Either way, if you are going to have a legitimate long-term
home business on the Internet, a domain name and website
hosting account are required. When choosing a domain name
and hosting account, it's important to select a company
that has a track record for success. The company I host all
my websites with is at:
http://www.host4profit.com/cgi-bin/home.cgi?60134

This top-rated website hosting company also provides several
turn-key Internet home businesses called "Plug-In Profit
Sites" such as the one described here which is a very popular and
easy way to start earning multiple streams of income on the
Internet. In fact, in addition to the blog you launched a
few moments ago, you can get a Plug-In Profit Site setup in
the next 24 hours and add another 5 easy streams of income
to your Internet home business.

Alternatively, there are other turn-key Internet home
business systems such as the one described here which provides
a proven formula to start making money online within minutes
of signing up. In fact, I earn an extra 5-figures every
month using the above mentioned system myself.

As you can see, starting an Internet home business is
actually a very fast and easy thing to do. Now that you know
this, there should be nothing stopping you from earning a
little extra income from home on the Internet. Persevere and
you can make it your living just like myself and countless
others have done.

Make the Leap to Affiliate Marketing Success

Make the Leap to Affiliate Marketing Success
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy


If you are going to become a successful affiliate on the
Internet, you need 3 "intangibles." These are things that
must come from WITHIN you.

===> Intangible 1 <===

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why must you make affiliate marketing work? What is driving
you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore
and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore
and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also
absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control
my life and finances through a little box that I could carry
with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's
time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and
my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out
on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that
succeeding in this business would provide for me. I found my
why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to make
money with affiliate programs or make your living on the
Internet, you won't. It's that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter
of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making
great money online. If they could do it, I could too. It
would just be a matter of figuring out what those people
were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people
(millions of them) are making money online with affiliate
programs. Just get online and do some research and you'll
find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE
making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local
bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of
this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make
money online with affiliate programs.

I've always said that "affiliate marketing" is the job of
the future. In the "old" days, you had to go to a
potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the
best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill
out their affiliate application and start work immediately.
Affiliates are the new working class. Believe me, making
money with affiliate programs or making your living on the
Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or
will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is
the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy
you MUST adopt to succeed with affiliate marketing.

That's backwards for most people who like to aim before
they fire. The fact is the Internet is a moving target...
The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop
analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn
from the outside... You have to be IN THE RING to truly
understand it.

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to
start an affiliate marketing business. You simply have to
start one. This is what I call "Making the Leap."

The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is
very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to
evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up
a business. It's almost always necessary to invest
thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the
ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a
successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit
Site is a great example of this:
Plug in profit site.

You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay
"out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could
be learning and skills necessary to become a successful
affiliate marketer. In fact, if you're not in the game yet,
you're ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to becoming
a successful affiliate marketer today!

Fast Track Your Journey to Internet Home Business Success

Fast Track Your Journey to Internet Home Business Success
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy


No one has ever logged onto the Internet for the first time
and started pocketing dollars in a really short period of
time. As with all things in life, there is a learning
curve.

SOME PERSONAL HISTORY

Just a few short years ago, I was a working stiff just like
you.

One day, I bought and read a book called "Multiple Streams
of Income" by bestselling author, Robert Allen.
Immediately, I began my journey.

Every night after work and after my wife and children went
to sleep, I would get online and explore different ways of
using the Internet to make money.

In the two years that followed, I spent over $10,000 racking
up credit card debt buying eBooks, membership sites, special
reports, opt-in leads, and joining every "guru"
recommended business opportunity that flew into my email
inbox.

I stayed up learning, working, and drinking coffee until
5:00 in the morning, month after month filled with the hope
of making money online.

In my third year of working part-time to build a home based
income, I finally broke through and earned over $100,000 in
just twelve months from the Internet.

BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LEARNING CURVE

Research the lives of all of the "gurus." The one thing
that you will learn is that my own experience is not unique.
Most of the high earners on the Internet experienced a
learning curve very similar to my own.

Chances are that your curve will also be similar to mine,
but it is my hope that you can get to the top faster than
even I did. Three years was a long time to struggle, but
every ounce of struggle was worth the reward I have finally
received.

In order to shorten your own learning curve, you must do a
few things differently than the rest of us did. You must
become the master of your learning curve.

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE

There is only one way to shorten the curve on the Internet:

You must plan to succeed!

Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and
select a few affiliate programs to add to their website.
Right out of the gate, most people are running for the
finish line without any real plan in mind.

After a few short weeks, people begin to see the writing on
the wall that says, "This is going to be a long hard
road."

People check their hit counters daily for six weeks before
they realize that getting traffic to their free site is
going to be tough.

At this point, they begin developing their first batch of
advertising. Then they spend countless months finding places
to show their advertisements for free. Some make an even
more drastic mistake by blowing thousands of hard earned
dollars on their new and untested ads.

These are the people who will learn the facts of life the
hard way.

In time, they will learn how to make their advertising work
for them, but most will earn very little money from their
affiliate programs.

At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up
their hands and walk away from their dreams in utter
disgust. Instead of a walking away point, this should have
convinced the struggling online entrepreneur that they were
simply traveling the wrong road.

YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED

From day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of
web promotion. Read everything you can get your hands on.
Don't just read the hype, back it up with the opinions of
others who have reviewed the same programs before you came
along. Learn from their mistakes and successes.

As you begin to learn, you must also look to make a
decision. Do you want to step into a pre-built program that
is designed to help you to succeed, OR do you want to create
a completely new program of which you are the sole owner?

If you decide to step into a pre-designed and complete
turn-key online money-making venture, then you must select
the right venture to step into. If this is your decision, I
encourage you to examine the Plug In Profit Site here


If you decide to go the journey on your own, then do all of
the necessary research, planning and preparation that is
needed for your success.

PREPARE TO SUCCEED

Decide what you think you would want to do, and then figure
out how your planned site will generate a real income.

Internet old-timers know about hundreds of corporation
domains that existed with IPO millions, but did not have an
actual money plan that could sustain their business model.
Most of these companies were among the hundreds of companies
that bellied up in the 2000 dot bomb experience.

Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research others on the
web who have undertaken similar business models and see if
they have survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn
what is working for them and what did not work for them. To
better understand what has or has not worked for competitor
websites, check out their time lapsed progressions using the
Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org

Once you have determined your money plan, then you should
undertake the development of a business plan and a marketing
plan. Utilize professional assistance if you need to do so.
While creating your plans, make a determination as to which
domain name you think would be best, then register it along
with a hosting account. You can do this at Host4Profit:
http://www.host4profit.com/cgi-bin/home.cgi?60134

Once you have developed your business plan and marketing
plan and have run them through several revisions, then it
will be time to buy your domain name and to begin work with
a site designer and developer. You may need to have your
domain sitting on a web host for your site developer, but
this is not always necessary. While they are doing their
work, enlist a copywriter to help you with your site sales
copy.

When your site designer and developer have your site
working, you should then undertake significant testing to
make sure everything works as planned. It is much harder to
fix problems on a operational site than it is to fix
problems on a site that has yet to be launched.

When testing is done, then you should fill in your sales
copy and then shoot for launch. Of course, you already have
a marketing plan in place, so your preparation here will be
simply a matter of putting the pieces of the puzzle into
place.

You are finally ready to open for business. Don't be afraid
to spend the money to bring your dream alive. Time can
replace money in the goal of starting a profitable online
business, but money invested can shave years off of your
company's growth.

money online with affiliate programs. If you can follow 3
easy steps, you can get your own custom website,

Every morning as people wake up and make the commute to work, many dream of the day when they will finally work for themselves. Every time the boss lets someone know that they must give up their weekend plans for the good of the company, people contemplate the benefits of being the owner of their own business.
Are you one of these people?

If you are, it is important to ask yourself some very important questions before you make the uncertain leap into self-employment.

Many dream of the benefits of home business ownership, but few take into account the sacrifices that must be made to bring the dream to fruition. Please don't make this mistake yourself.

You must approach home business ownership with your eyes wide open. Ask yourself the important questions, and more importantly, answer your own questions openly and honestly.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Are you the type of person who relishes every chance to gather around the water cooler for social interaction?

If so, then home business ownership may not be the right decision for you.

Instead, if you feel that you can be quite content sitting alone at your desk, speaking only to clients and really minding your own home business, then you might have what it takes to succeed as a home business entrepreneur.

If you feel at ease with your own company and don't need a dozen co-workers milling around your desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms that will allow you and your family to live the lifestyle you know you want and deserve.

THE KEY TO HOME BUSINESS SUCCESS

Self-motivation is the key to success when you start a home-based business. You need to possess the ability to push yourself ahead. Your drive and determination will be reinforced with every new sale.

The level of success that you will achieve greatly depends on the time and effort you are willing to put into your new home business. Your organization, planning and marketing skills will all be put into practice when you embark on your liberating journey from employee, to being your own boss. In fact, you will be the wearer of many hats and gain a wealth of business experience along the way when you finally make that commitment to work at home.

YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN SHOULDERS

You will now be the boss. Are you truly able to work independently? Do you have the drive, the tenacity, to persevere with your home-based business? Will you be able to invest the necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow, and see it through, from germination to full, glorious bloom? When you're the boss, you are responsible for the success of your home business, from A to Z, from disappointments to victory.

When you work at home, it will empower you to achieve many things you were unable to do when you were stuck working for that tyrant boss. Remember him? He's the guy that wouldn't let you take time off when your baby was sick. . . the same guy that called you in to work on Thanksgiving Day.

A home business means that you can take good care of your family and make money from home, simultaneously. You will have the best of both worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling up--you can do it while you work. No more scurrying around at the last minute searching for a babysitter, either. And no more worrying about getting fired; you'll be the boss!

IN CONCLUSION . . .

Stay positive and focused on your home based business, even if, when sales aren't up to par, you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs. Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable, positive attitude at the forefront and show them what you're made of!
