A great way to build your business is to create a newsletter using an auto responder with a broadcast feature. You can increase your opt-in subscriber base easily by promoting your newsletter with a report that you simply give away free. Here is a good way to start building your list of newsletter subscribers:

Make a free report that is 9 or 10 pages long in PDF format. The requirements for your free report are this:

1. Write information that is clear, concise and needed by your clients.

2. You want to promote your newsletter with this free report. Include links back to your home page in the report. On your home page capture email addresses with a subscription box for your newsletter.

3. It is important that your clients are enticed to seek the extra information by subscribing to your newsletter. Tell them that there is much more information about your business regularly updated in your newsletter. Explain the benefits to them for subscribing to your newsletter.

4. It is helpful to include a testimonial in your free report. This adds credibility to your work.

Then you can give your free report away to prospective clients. Offer it in your email signature file. Offer it to people that send you offers via email. You can visit forums in your industry and mention it in your forum signature file.

Other ways of distributing your free report include offering it to ezine list owners for their subscribers, emailing your own list, or simply write a supporting article and include a link in your resource box to download your free report. The best way to distribute your article is to go to an article distribution service where, for a small fee, your article will be exposed to publishers and websites.

Once you have established a subscriber base, you can start profiting from your efforts. You can recommend products through your affiliate links in your newsletter, or any other special product offering that your clients would be interested in. After you have a substantial subscriber count, you can start to sell advertising space in your newsletter if you wish.

Remember that your newsletter subscribers are long-term customers. You want to treat them right. Always give them the best information that you can find and treat them with professional respect. You want to maintain your relationship with these people for a long time. They will prove to be the best customers you will ever have.

The beauty of creating your own free report is that you are going to extend give away rights to everyone who downloads it. You want to encourage people to share the report with others. This way your free report will become a viral magnet for your business and as more people download and read the report, your subscriber base will grow bigger over time.

Don’t stop promoting it though. The more subscribers to your newsletter you get, the more money you will make. It makes sense to make a free report a big part of your marketing efforts. The way to make money is to stay in touch with your many clients and customers. This email address capture method will give you an advantage that is easy to accomplish and well worth your time.

One aspect of making money online that often gets overlooked is providing a service for the millions of website and blog owners. Let’s look at this closer.

Most website and blog owners do not have the knowledge, time, or money to do everything it takes to run an online business these days. This can be good news for you.

You can make money by providing a service that solves a problem for all of these webmasters. If you are smart you will get a pen and piece and paper and start writing after you finish reading this.

What do you know how to do that you could do for someone. One Internet marketer started an article writing company a couple of years ago for his son. They ended up developing it into a full time income.

Another service broke off from that. The service is writing and submitting articles because they had so many requests to market the articles they were writing for their customers.

The same marketer helped a friend start a business building blogs for people because blogging is so important today and many people do not know how to set up their own.

They started writing blog articles as well because of the number of blogs there are online today. They are just written little shorter than regular articles so people can paste them in their blogs.

Other people make money online providing these type of service as well…

- website customization

- search engine optimization

- managing pay per click campaigns

- creating software

- publishing newsletters for people

- posting comments in blogs

- website building

- providing customer service via phone and email

- posting in forums

- ghostwriting

- set up autoresponder email campaigns

- create videos for blog owners

- customize private label right products

- do telemarketing for mlm business owners

- create graphics and sell them

This is just a few ideas.. You may think of others.

It’s pretty much guaranteed that if there is a need for a service on the Internet there are people willing to pay you to do it for them.

The quickest way to make your service known online is to set up a sales page describing your service.

Then add a PayPal button for ordering.

Finally join several Internet marketing forums and set up a signature file letting people know what you offer. Include a link back to your sales page.

As your business grows start a testimonial page and ask for referrals from your satisfied customers.

You will probably never get rich providing a service, but you can make a very good living over time, and you get to stay at home which beats going to work everyday for someone else.

I tried to keep my mouth shut about Sarah Palin but her politics are just to irresistible.  And the whole notion that a women with soooooo many issues will have me as an american citizen at heart is hard to believe.

Don’t get me wrong, I would not mind a women President or even a Vice President but this women just hit the spot light and she already has skeletons coming out of her closet that have not been addressed.  WHAT IS SHE HIDING?????

Why are the republicans working so hard to not allow the media to interview her?  What is going on with the new baby, is it hers or is it her daughters?  I know if she just had a baby that someone has to have a pregnancy picture of her.  I mean, man she is the Governor.  Not someone who can hide in a corner and not be seen.

And what was she talking about when she said that she understands “THOSE PEOPLE”.  Who the heck is  “THOSE PEOPLE”?  I am offended just by that statement alone.

I know some may not agree with what I have just said, but I just can’t see her as a Vice President and definitely not the President.

Lets all see through all the smoke and mirrors on this one.  She may talk a little game, but she is just like all the other republicans..

What do you think?  I would love your opinion?

Do you treat your online business as a business? At the beginning of each new month, do you take the time to review your results from the previous month and plan your goals for the coming month? They say that to bring home a win, you need to start with the end in mind. Where will YOU be at the end of this month?

As you sit down to plan, give some thought to what it is that you would like to achieve. What does that look like? What activity do you need to accomplish in order to reach that goal?

To take your business to the next level, consider scheduling a monthly goal setting session at the beginning of each month. Take your tracking sheets, calendar and paperwork to your favorite cafe and review your accomplishments and reflect on what you’ve learned during the past month.

During this time you may also want to reflect on what you could have done differently or more of. Then set your goals for the coming month and turn this into a math formula. For example, if you know that for every three presentations you do that you’ll close one sale and your goal is to close or enroll one new person each week, then doing the math; three calls a week for the four weeks of the month, you will need to do a minimum of twelve presentations a month or three a week.

If you also know, based on your numbers and your track record, that you need to reach at least three people on the phone to generate one presentation, then in order to reach your goal of doing three presentations a week, you will need to speak with nine people.

This is all well and good but in order to allow your dream to become a reality, you’ll want to actually schedule when it is that you’ll be making these phone calls and who you will be calling each day. It is not always possible to know ahead of time who you will meet but it is always possible for you to go through your database and jot down the names of the people you’ll be calling or following up with during your scheduled phone calling time.

So remember to plan your work and work your plan - you are only a decision away from your next promotion! Begin with the end in mind and consider where you want be by the end of the month. There is a saying, “you can begin a new habit in the middle of a bag of potato chips”. Consider creating some new habits and putting these ideas into practice and enjoy celebrating your success!
