Less Is Better
Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like
biting the heads off nails? My dad got up every
morning with a big smile and some encouraging
words. This was every day, seven days a week,
fifty two weeks a year.
GUARANTEE FOR SUCCESS
If you're trying to get a new online business started, and
you don't have a clearly stated guarantee policy, I can
GUARANTEE you that a year from now, you'll still be trying
to get your business OFF THE GROUND, unless you've gotten
discouraged and given up!Even in the traditional brick and mortar world of off-line
sales, people need to touch and see a product before they
have enough confidence to buy.
"Whois" on first?
No this is not an Abbot and Costello comedy routine, but some
serious information you need to know if considering your own web
site. If you have ever looked into getting your own domain name,
you have no doubt done a "whois" lookup.
Doom and Gloom
Many of the "sure thing" programs that were hot last year, aren't
to be found today; you know the ones I'm talking about. Did
anyone take the time to sift through the misinformation,
analyses, and charts showing how with no work you could be the
next jillionaire.
Excuses, Excuses
WARNING!! Always seek the advice of a Medical Doctor before
starting, or making changes in your diet or exercise program.In today's fast paced world, sometimes it can be challenging to
find the time to get to the gym to workout.
Developing a Marketing Plan
We hear it said that in order to be in business, you must have a
Business Plan, and this is true. Without one, you are like a
person in a dark room trying to find something. Eventually, you
may stumble across it, but how much time did you waste in the
process? If you had turned on the lights, the odds are you would
have found it a lot faster.
Get Back to Basics
WARNING!! Always seek the advice of a Medical Doctor before
starting, or making changes in your diet or exercise program.If you want to build a strong healthy body, proper nutrition is a
keystone for your success.
Hacking the Spammers
I was talking with someone I know who is a real wiz with
computers. He was telling me that if someone is persistent
enough, they can basically break into any computer. Our
service provider was recently attacked and the hackers placed
programs in the system which were disruptive.
My Publication
So you've listened to the advice, and you're going to start your
own publication. Obviously, you must have some writing ability,
or collaborate with someone who does, and you must be
knowledgeable in the areas you will cover in your ezine.
Bad Attitude
It never ceases to amaze me that some people trying to do
business on the Internet exhibit a bad attitude. It can take
many forms. I recently sent out an email request to someone, and
the answer I received, was to say the least, brusque.
