But for those of you who have bought a physical product, either one that’s downloadable, or a hard-copy book, DVD etc, you’ll have at least a pretty-good idea of what’s involved in buying online.

Online shopping is becoming extremely popular, with millions of people using this system of ordering products and services regularly, and in so doing, often saving lots of money.

Well, how would you like some tremendously exciting news?

Online shopping has now taken a giant leap forward! A company with extraordinary vision has created the most innovative program ever designed.

Six years ago, the founder of this company had a dream to create the world’s largest online shopping community, and after investing over one hundred million dollars, his dream is now well on the way to being realised.

To do this, obviously means that there has to be some incredible benefits for online shoppers, and these are definitely the core of this program.

One of  the major ones has been achieved through the creation of two “reverse auction” portals. Are you familiar with “reverse auctions”?

Well, you know how at a normal auction like works of art, property or on e-Bay, as people bid the price increases until the highest-bidder wins?

In a “reverse auction” as people bid, the price actually GOES DOWN! And the massive savings that occur because of this style of auction are outstanding.

So, if what I’ve told you so far appeals, or you’re curious enough to find out how you can save as much as 30% or more on your future purchases of brand-new, brand-name products with full manufacturers’ warranties, you need to click here right now. ]]> http://johngwass.com/network-marketing-secrets/tried-online-shopping-yet/feed/ 0 http://johngwass.com/network-marketing-secrets/one-of-those-extra-specia-life-experiences/ http://johngwass.com/network-marketing-secrets/one-of-those-extra-specia-life-experiences/#comments Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:17:54 +0000 admin http://johngwass.com/?p=622 You know how you go through life, experiencing those ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ that are common to most of us referred to as mankind?

Well, like most of us, I’ve had plenty of those ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ in my numerous years on this planet, but have generally managed to slip away from the ‘lows’ pretty quickly, by having a somewhat optomistic nature.

I’ve generally lived by the phylosophy that life in general is pretty good, and so are the majority of folks I’ve come across.

One of the ways I’ve endeavoured to stay on top, so to speak, is that for the last twenty five years I’ve made a habit of studying personal development and learning about the lives of successful people that I admire and look up to.

Now this has included people who inspire me to be a better person and achieve more in my life, as well as those who make me laugh.

One author who comes to mind as I’m writing this is Bill Cosby. His book, “Love and Marriage”, with Chapter titles such as ‘Your Beloved Foe’, ‘To Love, Honour and Drive Up the Wall’ and ‘Till Talk Do You Part’ is extremely relateable to me, having so far experienced over forty years of marriage with my long-suffering wife, Heather.

And one of my favourite TV shows, “One Foot in the Grave’ always brings me to fits of laughter and tears as the husband and I seem to have so much in common! We husbands sometimes are a joke!

So that’s a little about one area in which I like to spend time for my own humorous personal growth, as I sincerely believe that laughter is one of the most vital and life-enhancing experiences we can enjoy. You gotta have a giggle, don’t you?

Moving into a more serious area of personal development, I’ve been very fortunate, as it so often happens that when I find a new book [or DVD], it’s amazing how this particular one has come into my life at just the right time! Does this happen to you? No doubt, it does, at least occassionally.

Well, what I’m leading up to, is another one of these experiences has recently occurred in my life, and the only way I can describe it, is “momentous”.

My best mate Ray Taylor was the catalyst for this, as he initially introduced me to an author who emails an inspiring message every weekday to hundreds of thousands of his subscribers.

So, Ray got me on to that list, and soon after, I began receiving these wonderful messages. And then he gave the author’s book, “Infinite Possibilities” to Heather for Christmas. About the same time, I ordered the author’s DVD, “Thoughts Become Things”. [Remember Mike in "The Secret" movie?]

WOW! These two mediums have had a massive impact on my thinking, my self-image and my approach to everything in my life. Nothing will ever be the same!

Initially I watched the DVD, and as soon as I could after that, I grabbed the book, and am now reading it for the third time, generally for twenty or thirty minutes every night before turning out the light.

Of all the self-help material I’ve devoured in my life, these two mediums, especially the book, are the most relateable, and in my opinion, ones that every person, from ten to ninety, must study and make a part of their lives.

Mike has a great blog I recommend you join immediately, and make sure you order both his book and DVD. You truly will immediately find that your life, and the lives of your loved ones, will never be the same. You’ll  find that infinite possibilities are awaiting you.

So click here right now and join his Club for free, and order your own copies of “Infinite Possibilities” and “Thoughts Become Things”. They’re economically-priced, and when you experience the benefits in your life from them, I’m sure that like me, you’ll know that what they contain really is priceless!

These reservations are understandable due to the ways that business email marketing has received negative connotations, having been used so blatantly by unscrupulous people for many years, until govermental regulations put a stop to most of these practices. Now that this type of so-called marketing has been labelled ’spamming’, most of it has been eliminated, thank goodness.

What has effectively evolved now is an opportunity for marketers to create business emails that have the customers interests as the number one priority, by providing real value to the reader and by offering solutions to peoples problems. So you can definitely add value to the lives of your readers by writing business emails with these purposes in mind. And you need an efficient software program as your broadcast tool to get your message to your prospective customers and business associates. So how do you do this?

Firstly, you need to begin to create a list of people you’d like to market your product and services to. This list could initially comprise those with whom you currently communicate, possibly lists you purchase, although these generally are of questionable value, and the list you build as a result of your marketing and advertising activities. When you are putting these lists together you need an effective email marketing program that you can put on autopilot and be able to market your goods and services with time-efficiency.

There are a number of high-quality software programs which will enable you to set-up effective business emails for a very modest cost. One of the most popular programs is offered by Aweber. It’s the one I use and I find it to not only be extremely easy to use, it also offers a very high standard of customer support.

You can create any number of different lists within the Aweber software program, have business emails automatically sent to your contacts, as well as mailing a broadcast to them whenever you feel you have something of additional value that isn’t already contained in your automatic messages. This extra effort by you is an excellent way of building rapport with your contacts, building a relationship with them, and gaining their trust.

It is very important to be aware that with most of these business email marketing software programs, and is certainly the case with Aweber, that you receive permission from people to send emails to them. The Aweber program includes the facility to initially give your contact the option to opt-out and not receive any correspondence from you. This way, you are able to grow a list containing highly-qualified prospects for your mutual success. I hope what I have written is helpful and that you can now effectively use emails to grow your home based business more efficiently, and make money doing so.

There are so many tools that you can use to distribute your articles more easily and effectively, but this is only half of the story.

Let’s now take a look first at common errors you could make before sending your story to article directories. In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding yourself as an expert, promotion, and lead generation which are all part of your efforts to optimise your success. There should only be one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your readers and get their attention.

If the article isn’t focused on these essential purposes, it will fail to achieve those three benefits because no one will be interested in reading it, and the article directories may not publish it. Your objective should be to decide what people want to learn about so that they will find it interesting enough to compel them to find out more by clicking on the link in your resource box.

You may know already that when your article is interesting and informative, it will help you generate links back to your website.

Do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that same article? You need to include relevant keywords at strategic places, making sure you don’t overdo this, because when you do, many article directories just won’t publish your article. You need to have your article centred around one major keyword, and include that in each of the paragraphs. You should also disperse four or five other keywords within the body of your article.

It isn’t just about the direct links to your site. One vital component of doing well in your article marketing is having publishers of article directories, with large audiences, choosing your article above others. This then creates leverage for you via the backlinks that occur. Better search engine results also are great benefits. But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that will turn your article marketing efforts into opportunities that can boost your income and increase the number of visitors to your site.

It is so important to be aware that most article directories have a set of rules and guidelines, and unless you fit within them, your chances of having your article published are slim. It is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting some  exposure from increased links back to your website, or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra effort by providing information of interest and value to your readers.

Your article will always be more effective for you when you target a specific niche, rather than trying to spread  your message to a wide audience. And finally, it needs to be of such high quality that it inspires your readers to take action and click on your website link. That result must always be your ultimate objective!

Let us firstly look at what I term the Pure Information Providers, those who market electronic downloadable information products. These are generally either e-books or software programs. This type of marketing is very straightforward and uncomplicated for those marketers who are creative, either technologically-savvy themselves, or have access to experts who are, and are very efficient at developing online marketing strategies that work.

Their downloadable products are ordered by the customer, either via financial merchant facilitators such as ClickBank or PayPal, and delivered immediately to their computer. The marketers then receive their payment from ClickBank or PayPal into their bank account within a few days.

These marketers of downloadable information products generally have two main methods of marketing their products. They advertise their own Sales Letter/Website using pay-per-click [ppc] in Google Adwords, Yahoo, etc, as well as through the Affiliate programs they have organised where many hundreds or even thousands of Affiliates market their products on their behalf. The latter is the most common system that the millionaires use, as it expands their advertising exponentially, and not only creates massive income for themselves, but in many cases for their Affiliates as well.

Now let us look at another area which is currently responsible for countless millions of dollars in expenditure and earnings, and that is areas such as Network Marketing which includes Multi-Level Marketing [mlm], but is not limited to that system. These areas are undergoing an awesome boom and have been doing so for the last few years, as many millions of people worldwide seek either extra income or want to be able to earn a full-time income in their own business working from home.

This section of the internet marketing industry uses a huge range of advertising methods to market the opportunity programs provided by literally thousands of different companies worldwide. And their online business strategies are generally determined by their budget, what they can afford to spend.

Paid advertising, ppc, is always the most effective when done sensibly and after very careful research, but because this industry is so dramatically competitive, generally the most expensive form to use. And ppc advertising is dominated by the BIG PLAYERS, those marketers who have mega-bucks to invest, with them usually dominating, while those whose budget is small generally lose money and have little, or no success, and in at least 90% of cases go bust!

So for those online marketers  whose budget is limited, or non-existent, the option of free-marketing using Search Engine Optimisation [SEO], and Social Media, such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc, can be a very successful and lucrative way to get their message out to the public.

These include writing articles for distribution within E-zines [electronic magazines], issuing worthwhile Press Releases, creating a personal web-log [blog]  and are some of the vehicles that will help the marketer become known and build relationships that eventually lead to personal freedom and online business success. However, this system of internet marketing does take time, perhaps months, before you can achieve worthwhile results. On the plus side, many online marketers use only SEO and they enjoy massive success with their well-planned online marketing strategies.

OK. Everything I have mentioned above form part of the most vital component of internet marketing, and that IS marketing itself. Every business on the planet needs to be efficiently marketed in order for its products or services to become known and ordered/purchased. So marketing IS the number one factor that must be done successfully, otherwise your business will die a painful death.

And what is one of the most vital outcomes of a successful marketing program? You MUST build a list of potential customers/consumers/business partners, because without that list, that painful ‘business death’ is inevitable.

The Pure Information Providers mentioned above are without a doubt the most successful list-builders on the web, in my opinion. They have it down to a ‘T’, and you could do your internet marketing business and yourself a huge favor by studying the most successful of these, and copying and adapting their online marketing strategies for your own use to experience online business success.

Everyone in our street is off to work somewhere else, today. How could you not love this life? Like everyone else our day does begin with family commitments, like driving our lovely granddaughter to school. Chatting with her is an incredible privilege and blessing.

Generally, our everyday life is not too hectic at all. And this is another blessing. We belong to us all day, here at home. We donʼt have to go out to a small business requiring all of our time, blood, sweat, and tears. We have not spent huge sums of money as we would have either, had we bought a bricks and mortar style business.

Donʼt get me wrong we work very, hard and many, hours in our online marketing business. The difference is the peaceful environment that our home provides makes for an idyllic situation for building an online business. The big plus is we have a life together that is envied by many and that we never want to give up.

Its a blessing to be able to work from home, a privilege that more and more people are learning about. How to build an internet marketing business at home takes discipline and it takes education, lots of education.

Support from real entrepreneurs willing to teach everything they know on a daily basis is a major key to success these days online. It is a blessing to just Skype for help whenever needed.

The most high-profile communities of entrepreneurs online share everything they know with each other and with the likes of you and me. And because they do this we in turn do it making us all stronger and building real businesses producing profits and changing peoples lives along the way.

Our life is being changed and we couldnʼt be happier. Serving others and bringing teaching and value to others makes for such a wonderful life.

Are you excited about going to work or business? Or is it an obligation? It is so easy to grow weary and uninterested in what we do unless we are passionate about it. Passion sustains us through challenges and disappointments. That makes sense, does it not? Love what you do for a living now, or find a way to do what you love.

SETTING GOALS. Short and long-term goal setting is vital for any employee or business owners. You will not GET GOALS if you do not SET GOALS. They give you a definite track to run, and stay on, and are a vital component of your personal motivation. How could you possibly be motivated if unsure about the direction you are taking in your career? So take the time to put your goals in writing. This becomes a business plan for your life, your future. Review it daily, read your goals plan out loud, and make changes when necessary so that it is always up to date.

You need short, medium and long-term goals, and always be aware that most of us over-estimate what we can achieve in the short-term, and underestimate what we can achieve in the long term. So, be reasonable and sensible in these areas of your personal motivation. But can a written goal setting plan really help motivate you? Of course. Written goals will make you feel more certain of positive outcomes and create the mindset you need to be a real winner.
STUDYING. Now do not let that word scare you or put you off. Studying personal motivation can be one of the most exciting and rewarding habits you can develop. There are now so many accomplished personal motivation entrepreneurs who are offering their expert services to you, especially on the internet.

And often much of this training costs you absolutely nothing! You just need to find a couple of mentors that you can relate to. You will most likely then happily invest in programs that will very quickly have a dramatic effect on your personal motivation.

NETWORKING. Whether you choose to be employed by a boss, or currently have your own business or profession, networking with other groups of people adds such important elements to your personal motivation and success in life. What does the word networking mean? It means being associated with your network. They may comprise social groups, sporting clubs and associations, and of course, business groups.

Networking enables us to really expand our horizons in any area we choose. It enables us to meet and associate with a large range of experts and in so doing, our personal motivation benefits us enormously. Many successful entrepreneurs report that finding the right networking group was a turning point in the growth of their business. Make it easier on yourself by connecting with others either in your community or online. Even when businesses are not related, you will often find common ground and ways to
work together.

Working together, a networking business group can help its members generate more qualified sales leads and solve problems faster and more efficiently. In fact, the isolation of working alone is of one the most difficult parts of being an entrepreneur. You can never be on your way to personal motivation without the help of others. Mutual support is motivating.

With your networking team to rely on, you can accomplish more in less time and probably have more fun in the process. You will feel motivated to accomplish self improvement when you know you are not alone.

Here’s to YOUR personal motivation,

The need to take steps to  comply with the changes have caused many challenges. Challenges are an opportunity for great growth, though, aren’t they?.

This is  when being part of a  community of network marketing professionals who use internet marketing secrets becomes so important. Being connected to tireless Leaders in the industry, with the highest integrity, amazing focus, drive and  dedication, giving their community confidence that the businesses they are nurturing and growing will not only survive the storm but will  sail onward, stronger and far more resilient.

If you are with a company that is delivering first-class teaching, support and an even stronger way forward than six months ago, then, like us, you are most fortunate.

Everyone wants to be within the guidelines of google, to take the ethical, relevant and sensible network marketing professionals approach. Much like life, the choices we make to succeed as  is wholly dependent upon how we  choose to  frame our obstacles and problems when they come along.

A great analogy of this is how things were for us a little while ago. Our business was generating good lead flow and we thought we were heading for great momentum.

Everything was ticking along beatufully. We were beginning to think we had worked out Google. We ranked up our benchmark to generate even moreleads for the next 30  days. All of a sudden, WHAM, our account got slapped. Lead flow -zero, zero, zero.

It could have been too easy to hold onto that feeling of fear and lack. Too easy to stop and feel the pain of knowing the drudgery of hard work ahead to get our ads back up.

If you are reading this you know what I’m talking about. It takes some massive action and a great system to get a whole community back up and running. We all need a community of people who care about the new people and the beginner, the true newbie.                                

Network marketing professionals get on with it  and choose not to focus on the fact that their lead flow may be zero today. It is an opportunity to laugh at the fact that you may have  put all your eggs in one basket and now you learn to diversify your marketing efforts.

New strategies create stronger healthier business practices for everyone. The resources and solutions are everywhere. You very quickly see what’s available at your fingertips.

For the thousands of people out there with replicated sites perhaps simply a new URL will work for a while, until you address the other more critical issues of a relevant offer, a new ‘landing page’, ‘thank you’ page and maybe an authority site of your own.

Got a blog? Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites  will certainly bring you  traffic and leads.

We exceed our potential in finding solutions when we learn to properly assess and address our obstacles. Internet marketing secrets are essential tools. In approaching a frustrating and overwhelming obstacle, it’s in how we network marketing professionals choose to interpret the changes we make in order to take off again. Then roll up our sleeves and get back to doing business as usual.

Wishing you every success,

John and Heather

We became so immersed in getting through the ‘overwhelm’ and work, that days came and went without notice. Our previous life seemed to fade into the background. After a few months or so we couldn’t believe we had robbed ourselves of so much interaction with friends and family.

We have discovered that this is a common occurance for most home business people like us. There are too many of us online entrepreneurs driven by the desire to succeed in our chosen online marketing businesses, that we forget to stop and smell the roses along the way. I guess many believe we are not justified in taking time away from the busness at hand, untl we have the success we want.

When tucked snuggly in the office it is too easy to forget about the rest of the world. The thinking, that when I just master this or that, finish one more this and that, then I’ll join the family, then I’ll take that walk. It is insane ………. for people who have chosen to work at home online, not to enjoy the greatest benefit which is ‘Time’. Time for the pleasures of life.

Why do we do this? We miss the point of why we decided to build an  online marketeing business in the first place. We dreamed of self employment and being able to work at home, and the lifestyle that we’re pursuing. Good business management requires looking after number one …… You!

There are five vital reasons you should take a break every few hours:

1.   You need physical down time. Trying to be super-human sitting on your backside all day is a sure way to burn out. Get out of the office ….. take the kids and the dog for a walk

2.  You need mental down-time. Get out and play, your mind will thank you. Your days are filled with busy, sometimes even hectic, day to day activities related to your business. Getting away from that for a while will ensure peace of mind.

3.  Spend real time with loved ones. You’re at home now, and your family and friends see you working, working, working, they’d appreciate some quality time together

4.  Go see the world. Or just your own back yard!

5.  Do something you enjoy. Make your office “off limits” by closing the door and placing a sign on it. Do whatever it takes to keep your mind off working. Think of what you can do within your budget that’s fun. Read a great book or do nothing at all!

You have an incredible life. It is surprising how many business owners don’t feel they deserve time off. There is always too much to do and not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Guess what … it’s always going to feel that way! Only you have the power to allow yourself time off.

Even if you take a day here and day there away from your online marketing business, instead of a whole week or longer each year, that’s a whole lot better than never taking time off. You’ll feel better about yourself and your work  if you take regular time for yourself. You’ll be healthier, too!

Enjoy your time freedom,

Heather
