Best Ways To Make Money

Business, Jobs, Marketing, Relationships

Archive for June, 2009

It is a well-known fact that 97% of network marketers fail. So Only 3% succeed or make money in their online businesses. Many causes have been blamed for their failures.

I have been told by my uplines in the past that I just did not work hard enough, I did not buy adequate amounts of leads, I did not have more money to invest in my business, I have an accent and prospects do not generally like people talking to them with accents.

Other known causes of failures of network marketers mentioned are: companies with bad management resulting in bankruptcies, companies allegedly operating illegally were closed by the authorities, bad compensation plan and outmoded marketing system.

When I met my mentor recently he pointed out to me the 5 Pillars of a good and profitable company. I analyzed the popular companies that I joined in the past using the 5 Pillars criteria and the well known companies today and this is what I found: Most of these popular online companies require at least 2,000 active members for somebody to make $10,000 per month of residual income.

No wonder! The heavy hitters that joined these programs who could put two thousand to three thousand people when they join a company are very successful, while somebody who can can only sponsor 500 peopole or less became failures !

And my mentor showed me an e-book which is a product of his 26 years experience in network marketing. And this e-book showed me that it is not my fault that I failed in many companies, and this e-book showed me how to succeed in my online business.

Then he showed me a 6 year old nutritional debt-free ompany with superioir products with with excellent management with integrity and experience, with an excellent compensation plan. The best feature of this company is that you only need 350 ( three hundred fifty) active members to make $10,000 per month of residual income.

What is very significant with this company is that the management is composed of seasoned network marketers, who knoow hot to run the company for network marketers. They understand the members needs. They have been once through the aches and pains and difficulties that network marketers have undergone. So they devised a compensation plan that favors a new member make money even if he does not have thousands of of people in his downline.

Another great feature is the availability of the Free Mentoring System, by one of the mentors, who have 26 years of network marketing experience. His e-book is free. He is the most active member of the company and gives his e-book and mentoring services for free to anybody who is serious in building a downline in his online business. You can find the link in the author’s box.

You will find the links of these important websites in the Authors box. So no more expensive leads. No more high-cost of mentors, expensive methods or ebooks ! We have a Mentoring for Free proven duplicatable system with a very generous mentor who gives his time and services for free !

The diamond resellers involved in the selling process of money back guarantee diamonds. At one time these specialists in the industry sold the diamonds only to jewelry stores. However, they are now offering the public the opportunity to purchase diamonds at lower prices and are offering them money back guarantee diamonds that are authentic and have been appraised for the value of the price you have to pay.

In this way you can be certain that they are best value diamonds with a money back guarantee period during which you can return the diamonds for a full refund for whatever reason. The diamond resellers have teams of buyers that travel to exotic locations in order to purchase the diamonds. You can always inquire if your diamond is a non conflict diamond because in order to bring diamonds back into the states, they must be accompanied by a Kimberley Report Certificate that attests to the fact that the diamonds have not come from any areas of conflict in the world.

The first step in buying the diamonds that are sold as money back guarantee diamonds is to inspect the rough diamonds. The staff inspects and scrutinizes each diamond individually using specialized microscopic equipment that lets them see different aspects of the diamond that are not visible to the layperson. Anyone that has seen jewelers inspecting diamonds in TV shows is familiar with seeing them use specialized eyewear during the examination of a diamond.

In the examination process, they essentially make a type of blueprint of what each rough diamond will become. Once the diamonds have been selected, then the process of cutting and finishing begins in order to bring money back guarantee diamonds to the market. This process will determine the size and shape of the diamond. The first thing that takes place is the polishing of the rough diamond to determine if there are any flaws or imperfections that will reduce the value of the stone.

Then the designer will take a second look at the diamond to mark the places where it needs to be cut so that it will show all the aspects in an exceptional way. The size and shape of the rough diamond are important in deciding the best type of cut to use. Quite often rough diamonds are large enough that they can be cut to produce several quality money back guarantee diamonds. The diamond designer, as previously mentioned, makes the marks on the diamond and then another specialist takes over.

This is the Sawer who is skilled in the use of diamond cutting machinery and the use of a specialized lens to cut on the lines made by the designer. Once the diamonds are cut, they are then placed in a Bruting machine. This machine shapes the diamond into a circular shape so that it can be set in various types of jewelry. It also removes the rough edges of the stone. Once this process is complete, money back guarantee diamonds go through a second cutting procedure.

The diamonds are blocked, which means the 8 facets on the crown of the diamond are created. The remaining facets go through a process called brillianteering, in which the true shape comes to life and the star facets shaped so as to reveal the full glory of the stone. After these processes are complete, then each diamond is ready to be evaluated and appraised so that a report can be prepared for the customer who makes the purchase.

This is not carried out by the sales staff or the diamond reseller. Instead an independent laboratory, such as those of IGI Appraisals, EGL loose diamonds, or GIA diamond rings carries out the analysis and prepares the final report.

Allison Ryan is a freelance marketing writer specializing in money back guarantee diamonds and appraising a EGL loose diamonds. For a non conflict diamond that you can design the setting of your dreams around, stop by http://www.diamondwave.com/.

Have you ever read a sales copy, or promotion copy… and wished somehow it’d sound just a bit more velvety… flow slightly better and increase your desires towards the main product so you can actually make the buying decision or SPEND MONEY for it?

Well if you have, you’re not alone. The fact is, many sales letters out there are ‘crippled’ like this.

You see, they’d seem really nice as a big picture… but as you read down the page, second by second your heart just seems to stop and tend to make you breathe harder… I mean, sometimes it even makes you think “What the hell is this!?” and make you mad just by reading a few sentences from it!

And of course, there are reasons why this happened, which I’ll reveal in a while…

Many of times beginning copywriters write to what THEY think persuades prospects into buying. What they don’t know is how bad this can become when they continuously put copy in the way they do.

Because of the dissonance in desires… plus the unnatural tone in the sales message, sometimes it makes people angry just by reading it. It’s like dating—you could be a guy who isn’t stating his intentions clearly in a way the GIRL wants to hear it… and sometimes make her feel mad just by spending time with YOU.

So how can you make things right?

When I write copy I never consider negative intentions, but instead describe with candor and smoothness—what BENEFITS I’d visualize my prospects dream about at night… and lead them down the page with these ‘points’ like a greased slide (better, while building trust in between).

I mean, instead of writing from the standpoint of a “Fisherman’s” view, have you ever thought of really voicing your heart out from the “Fish’s” desires? (Think of it… most purchases are emotional, which explains why women would gladly pay thousands of dollars for an LV bag… and walk away with a smile, feeling good with their new purchase!

Sometimes, all you need to do, is “paint a picture” of the STORY your prospects already had in mind. Because, if what they read resonates with what they desire deep inside their minds, they’ll nod their heads in silence holding on to every word you say… and WANT TO BUY from you as soon as possible since they felt such strong connection with YOU.

So think about this when you write a sales copy next time. What would be the “RIGHT” thing to say to your prospects, which will drive them frantic and give them a sleepless night if they don’t take action on your advice? After you know what THEY are… well, state them CLEARLY.

As for results from doing this… the kind of sales, profits and wealth you’ll create once you deliver the message your prospects all want to hear—well, I’ll let you amaze yourself.

Outsourcing to cheaper service providers has become an abhorred word today and many countries, including the USA, are trying to stop outsourcing of jobs and work due to the economic meltdown. For many years, outsourcing back office work, software development, call center jobs, etc, was a way out for companies that did not require regular back office staff, or who needed to cut down costs to maintain profitability. Millions of jobs and back office work like Typing Services were outsourced to cheaper service providers in countries like India.

The economic meltdown is a truth that everyone has to live with and try to survive. But stopping outsourcing of back office work like Typing Services, Data entry work, Software development and maintenance, call center jobs, is not the answer. In fact, it will deepen the crisis for companies who will be forced to hire more expensive staff in their own countries, thus creating a few jobs, but in turn, impacting the profitability of the company. Companies have been outsourcing work to cheaper service providers for many years now and the reason for outsourcing was either unavailability of required professionals to do the work, or the high cost of hiring staff in their own country. Countries like India, China, Philippines, Malaysia, and many others, seized the opportunity, and were able to provide the required work force for any and all jobs, including Typing Services and Data entry.

The main reason for outsourcing has been the cost advantage. Many of the jobs and work that are outsourced, cost a tenth to half of what the companies would have to pay for, in their own country by hiring regular staff. It is due to the cost advantage and to the sheer number of educated and available professionals in cheaper countries, which enabled companies to make a profit. Another advantage is the time difference. For example, if a company in the USA requires some important documents to be typed up at night, the regular back office staff will not agree to stay up all night to type up these important documents. But a service provider in India can provide the Typing Services cheaply and deliver the documents on time due to the time difference between the USA and India. Companies can get all their manual back office work done while they are sleeping, as it is daytime and working hours in India, while it is night in the USA.

Due to the downturn and meltdown, it is doubly important for companies to cut down costs to make a profit and outsourcing is the answer. Outsourcing back office work like typing, data entry work, and even call center work and software development, not only cuts down costs, but also increases efficiency and speed at which the work gets done. For example, if a law firm requires many thousands of pages of legal documents to be typed every month, they can easily get this done from a service provider who provides efficient Typing Services with a quick turnaround time. This is possible as the service providers maintain regular typing staff with excellent typing speeds. This not only works out cheaper and faster for the law firm, they also do not have to maintain regular staff.

Another advantage is that many service providers also provide services on weekend, which may not be possible with regular staff. This is especially useful when a company needs some documents to be typed on a Friday night and which are required on Monday morning. The regular staff may not oblige, but a service provider can provide Typing Services on weekends too, thus ensuring that the documents are available on Monday morning. In these times of an economic meltdown, companies, which cut down costs and are efficient will survive, others will just close down, thus ensuring that more people lose their jobs.

In order to keep clean company records and maximize the benefits of corporate data and mailing lists the following steps should be taken for more prosperous marketing futures.

Step 1

Make sure to use duplicate elimination software such as Maxdup or other software for correcting the names and addresses that your marketing lists comprise. This type of program provides merge/purge accuracy because it uses revolutionary pattern recognition techniques which identifies and eliminates duplicate records. You can specify up to 256 different input files, duplicate tags, and identify frequent buyers to help customers focus on their specific marketing goals and prospects. A company software program can save you postage and time and enhance their corporate image by eliminating unnecessary mailings and costly returns.

Step 2

You will want to match your mailing lists to the USPS national change of address, more commonly referred to as NCOA, in order to make sure those potential customers you have that may have moved within the last few years receive the marketing literature you intend for them. Approximately 25% of the country households move every 3 years so if you are mailing millions of pieces of mail the amount of wasted money is staggering.

Step 3

Next, make sure you get the best possible postage rates for your mailings. After you merge purge your lists and check for accuracy of the addresses using intelligent mail barcodes can greatly reduce the cost. They speed up the processing at the postal facilities and USPS software reads the barcodes giving companies less expensive rates in the process.

Step 4

Make sure you use codes or some form of recognition on mailing materials themselves so when the customers respond you tell which marketing approach worked best. Without using some form of tracking method the mail is just going out and doing much les to help future endeavors. This will have to be set up ahead of time and planned out with the marketing group at the company or outsourced to the appropriate group.

Step 5

Review. After the designated amount of time has passed you are ready to evaluate the performance of your marketing work. Was the approach correct? Was the list merge purge successful? Id you eliminate duplications and returns? Was the price you paid for the mailing the best you could have gotten and was the return on investment in line with expectations?

It is not enough to simply take a list and mass email or mass mail to them without regard to the accuracy and success rate of the effort. There needs to be a focus and way of grading the results for effectiveness. By planning it out carefully and using the outlined methods above to hone the lists and get the best return on investment you are bound to have better results and a more successful business. With technology and software more available than ever it is mandatory that you take advantage of benefits. Search online for tools that will make be able to organize and clean your corporate data when it becomes to big to effectively do manually.

Anchor Computer Software provides amazing solutions for maximizing the quality of USPS addresses from mailing lists. They offer Merge Purge solutions to large and small companies and Merge/Purge duplicate elimination software to the public as well.

Obviously right now you are serious about saving or rekindling your relationship, which is what led you to this article in the first place. But if you are feeling overly uneasy to get your ex back, you may be conducting yourself in the wrong way, causing your ex to pull away naturally.

So What can I do to get my ex boyfriend back? Follow this approach instead.

You are going to need to take a completely fresh move toward. Begin by breaking contact off for a while, doing your own thing. During this time where there is no communication between you and your ex boyfriend, you can focus on ways that you can progress your own personal life, rather than highlighting on the relationship issues at hand. This is going to be a difficult time, and it is going to require discipline to prevent you from returning to your old ways.

During this time, your ex is going to practice a shift in how he feels about you, since you will no longer be pursuing him. You may become unexplained to him in some ways, because he is not sure what you are doing or feeling. This is actually something that can work in your favor. Now your ex is in a position to actually miss you, which is not possible when you are smothering him.

You must remember that the key to this approach and repairing a break up is to work with human nature rather than attempting to work against it. If you are wondering ” What can I do to get my ex boyfriend back”, now you should have a reasonably basic understanding on how common mistakes can be avoided. Once you employ this basic strategy you can restore a balance and allow your ex to remember why he loved you in the first place.

Just keep yourself grounded and avoid smothering him. Make yourself appear strange and he will be reminded why he loved you in the first place. Play hard to get (don’t over do it) and let him make the first move, and you will come out on top. And then you will stop asking “What can I do to get my ex boyfriend back”

Can you imagine what it would be like if you could exponentially increase the return you get for every marketing Euro spent? If you have ever gone fishing for mackerel you will probably be aware that on each line there are many hooks, this means every time you cast your line into the sea the number of fish you can catch is multiplied by the number of hooks on your line.

There is a way that you can apply this technique to your marketing so that each campaign is aimed not just at one prospect but many prospects for the same price.

Find out how you can multiply your marketing results today.

The secret to getting this magnified effect on your marketing is to discover your “customer’s watering hole”. You probably already know where all your customers must gather from time to time, just like the watering hole the hunter waits for the game beside.

There is an old saying which goes “you will catch more bees with honey than with vinegar”, so it probably makes sense to start thinking about what is the type of honey that will attract your customers and where is the best place to put it, so they will find it.

The reason animals and game can always be found at the watering hole is because they need water to stay alive. So you should ask yourself the question, “what are my customer’s needs that must get on a periodic basis, in order for them to function?”

While some of you might want at this stage to book a blueprint for success workshop, others might well be able to figure this out for themselves. To go back to our earlier analogy, the honey that will magnetically attract your clients to you, is in fact your value proposition or as some of you may know it by, your unique selling proposition.

Once you have created this compelling message, which appeals at an emotional level, to your client’s desires or to help your client move away from some pains, the next step is to determine precisely how to present this message to get the most impact.

Let me give you an example. If your customers were accountants or accountancy practices, it might be a good idea to attend meetings specifically for accountants. This way everybody that you meet would be a potential prospect for your service. Let us say the proposition that you have, will enable accountants to increase their fee income. It might be a very good idea to have a question which you will pose to any accountant you might meet, which will get them to start thinking about how you can deliver something that they want. The question might go like this; “if there was a proven way that has worked with many other accountancy practices, to increase your fee income, how interested would you be?”

Specialist conferences might be a good opportunity to network with these accountants, however you still have not yet found their watering hole, so it’s probably a good idea to understand what each member of the accounting profession must do every year. Accountants in order to retain their professional qualification must attend, what is known as CPD, which a set number of hours of professional development.

So if you were able to partner with a CPD provider who would meet all of these accountants who must undergo this training and thus make your offer through the partner, then all your marketing efforts would be focused through the CPD provider which is in effect the accountant’s watering hole.

Each target group of your customers will have one or more watering holes so it is your responsibility to know your customers well enough to understand precisely where or what those watering holes are. If you are still having difficulty in ascertaining this, please then book your blue print for success workshop, where you will not only discover the marketing message to attract clients, you will find out how to precisely word your questions using psychology and most importantly you will find out where to use these new found skills.

If you are reading this and decide to see great benefit from taking action on this article, how much more will you get if you just visit 3R for sales, training, marketing and coaching services?

Why is Recession Proof Marketing Bullshit?

Jun-23-2009 By PeterLawlesss

There is a lot of hype today about recession proof marketing, personally, based on the results I have seen, I believe it is a bullshit claim! No marketing is immune to change and even in good times the nimble and successful are constantly adapting. In recession you may find that you must become even more inventive to attract more leads on a smaller budget.

So what should you really do? How can you take action now and attract more clients in these challenging times?

So if you want to know where to start – then read on…

You are probably already painfully aware that the actions taken to bring in more business a year ago just don’t work today. So you are probably wondering what you can do differently, especially now that you have smaller budgets as a result of reduced cash flow.

The rulebooks that existed a year ago have to be torn up and thrown out. It is probably a good idea for you to review precisely who are your most profitable customers and in what segments they exist.

Many people, who are still extremely successful in these tough times, have taken stock and reviewed their entire marketing portfolio. The first step is to revisit your value proposition. What your customer may have viewed as a valuable before now have dramatically changed as a result of their current circumstances.

As Darwin said “it is not necessarily the strongest or the most intelligent of the species that will survive; rather those most adaptable to change.” So what are you doing today to adapt your approach to ensure you can make the most of the changing conditions and your customers changing preferences?

While headline figures state that consumer spending has fallen by 25%, this also means that 75% of spending is still taking place. The question you need to ask yourself is:”am I getting my unfair share of this reduced market?”

A couple of successful customers of mine who in the past had asked for a Blueprint for Success Workshop have realised that now is the time to rethink their strategy. It is no longer acceptable for business owners to stick their heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich and just hope that things will start to improve.

We all know that hope is not a strategy for success!

What you must do right now is to stop and assess where you are in relation to current market conditions and create a plan for your future success. As people are considering how to trim back costs, at the same time you should also be looking at how to generate additional sales thereby increasing the revenue. We all know the principal formula of business; sales - costs = profits. Therefore it is very important that you focus on both sides of the equation.

You must increase sales while reducing costs.

Therefore slashing marketing costs willy-nilly is not going to help you achieve more sales. What you must do is become vigilant and ruthless about how you apply your marketing budget.

And remember, what worked a year ago, won’t work today and is unlikely to work a year from now!

Therefore in conclusion this is why there is no such thing as recession proof marketing. Your marketing, like the market in which you exist, must adapt to change. And as you adapt to change you will start to see a new stream of clients flood your business.

If you’re unsure of what steps you should take now then maybe you might want to consider signing up today for a blueprint for success workshop. As many customer testimonials attest to this, it is the most important first step in ensuring you have the right marketing messages and sales questions to ensure your continued survival and future success in today’s economic climate.

If you are reading this and decide to see great benefit from taking action on this article, how much more will you get if you just visit 3R for sales, training, marketing and coaching services?

Printed Underwear as an Advertising Tool

Jun-18-2009 By MattFranks

What’s on your underwear? Let’s be honest for a minute and think about it. Go check if you need to- we’ll wait. Printed underwear is not just for children anymore. Just like your toddler may sport underwear with their favorite cartoon character or superhero on it, many adults have branded underwear, too.

In addition to printed underwear in favorite or popular designs, we also have to think about brand names. Have you ever purchased a pair of underwear just because of the company who made it? Calvin Klein was incredibly popular for this very phenomenon.

This doesn’t mean they have a monopoly on the underwear market though and with careful planning and preparing, you could have people scrambling to get underwear with your name on it. Ok, well maybe they won’t be lining up to wear underwear with your name on it but it’s likely they’d take it for free if you offered and then they have a permanent reminder of who and what your company is.

Reasons to Use Printed Underwear

Now that you know how and why people are using printed underwear to advertise their businesses, you can take time to look at more reasons why this method works.

Here are some reasons why printed underwear as an advertising tool works:

• Everyone wears underwear (or at least most of us do)

• It’s cheap and easy to buy in bulk or at discount

• It’s easy to have your logo or other information printed on the underwear

These are just some of the most popular reasons why printed underwear can be a good advertising tool for you to consider. When you weigh the pros and cons of using underwear as a promotional tool, most businesses will agree that it’s a good choice to try out.

What to Do with Printed Underwear

So what do you do with printed underwear and how can you make it work as an advertising tool for you? Well, first you need to choose the underwear. What kind will you buy? Where will you purchase it from? How many will you get? What type of style will you use? Boxers have proven to be one of the most popular types and men and women alike will wear them.

Next, you need to determine what you will have printed on it. Will you use your business name? logo? URL to your website? Once you have determined what you will print on it, you need to have them printed.

Then you also need to consider where you will give these away. Is there a business expo, convention or promotional event you can attend? If so, it will be easy to pass out the printed undies so people can remember who you are.

Additionally, you may give them away at your own place of business. If people come into your store or shop, you can pass them out. Maybe you can devote a special high traffic day to giving out the underwear at your man location. Perhaps everyone who shows up on Saturday gets a free pair of boxers or something like that.

Promotional Underwear Can Pay Off Big

Jun-18-2009 By MattFranks

Maybe you’ve never thought about using underwear as a promotional tool but time’s are changing and this calls for new and creative ways of advertising and marketing. There are people out there meeting this challenge. Are you one of them? Are you willing to push the limits and try a new way of promoting your business? Would you be open to trying a type of apparel marketing for your business to see how it works?

While apparel has been used for some time now to advertise and promote businesses, underwear is a fairly new form of clothing used in this way. It’s not as unusual as you may think though. More and more businesses are trying out promotional underwear as an additional way to market their product or service.

Reasons to Use Promotional Underwear

So what are some reasons why a business person may choose to use promotional underwear to get the word out about their business?

• It’s cheap

• It’s attention-getting

• It’s different

• You can have them printed with anything you want

• You can license your “brand”

Maybe you’re thinking that promotional underwear is not an area that your company wants to get into. I mean there are a lot of other types of apparel you could use to advertise your business or company, right? Wouldn’t you rather have your logo on something nice and normal like a ball cap or a t-shirt?

Well, those things are boring. It’s not about t-shirts and socks anymore; it’s about who can find a more creative way to get the word out there. Promotional strategy is calling for new techniques and underwear may be the wave of the future. Wouldn’t you be glad to get in on it while the getting is good and finding a new, and affordable, way of marketing your business or company?

Examples of Promotional Underwear

Maybe you think you’ve never seen promotional underwear but we invite you to think again. Do your children wear undies with their favorite super-hero or Disney character on them? That’s a classic example of promotional underwear. Your child likes a movie or character and begs you to buy that kind of underwear for them. This is promotional underwear.

While you may not have people lining up and begging to buy undies with your brand on them, that doesn’t mean Disney has a monopoly on the practice. You can use promotional underwear for your own business as well. What’s true for children’s underwear can also work in the adult world, even if not in the exact same way.

Types of Promotional Underwear

So what types of promotional underwear exist out there? Well, when it comes to styles and types, nothing is really considered off limits. However, men’s underwear styles are the most popular and of all the types of men’s underwear, boxers are the most commonly used.

Boxers may come in singles or in packages and you can often get them at a wholesale discount which makes it even easier to get more of the underwear needed to promote in the way you choose.
