Healthy, Wealthy And Wise Internet Marketing

Early to Bed

Early to Rise

Makes a Man

Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

 - Ben Franklin

My Dad used to say that and it’s stuck with me since I was a kid - so much so that I named by blog Healthy, Wealthy And Wise Internet Marketing.

This is pretty ironic because

1.) I am a night person and early to bed for me is 3am.

2.) Early to rise for me is about noon

3.) I’m not a man

However, I aspire to be Healthy, Wealthy and Wise in all aspects of my life. It’s important to me that I use my time on this earth to have a full, well-rounded, purposeful life. For me, that means being close to my crazy family that I love, taking good care of myself (physically) and all those around me, being financially responsible, making a contribution to my community and generally being the best person I can be each day. Some days are easier than others!

It’s been about a year since I learned about this incredible thing called Internet marketing. In the beginning I was amazed at the opportunity. I’ve researched just about every Internet business available, tried a bunch of bad programs, spent money on products I never opened, wrote by first eBook, made some incredible friendships though social networking and actually made a profit.

Now that I’m beginning year two, I’m making some changes in how I use the information I’ve learned. I’m setting up some niche blogs in WordPress, which is a great platform that is very easy to use. My social networking is much more social and much less networking, and I’m concentrating on quality not quantity.

 I am working to keep my life in balance so that I am Healthy, Wealthy, Wise and Happy.

I wish the same for you!

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just upload a document, fill out a form and add hundreds upon hundreds of real subscribers to your list? Well that isn’t a dream!

That’s exactly what happened exactly a year ago at Guido Nussbaum’s famous Easter Giveaway. Smart marketers uploaded their products to the event, and next thing you know they added nearly 20,000 to their lists!

Guess what? Word on the “cyber-street” is this event is going to put last year’s event to shame… People in the industry are rumbling about this possibly being the “greatest list building event”. And I think they might be right.

The REAL question is: Are you going to be part of it? Here’s how you can secure your spot in this event:

1. Find a digital product on your computer that you own or have the right to give away (everyone has at least one…just check the rights listed on your products).

2. Enjoy tapping this link: http://www.easterjv2009.com/contributor.php?id=398

3. Fill out the simple form you’ll find there and upload your product.

On Easter day these few clicks will translate into a list building explosion.

But you’ve only got a small window of opportunity to get in. They will be closing down for new contributions any day now.

So stop everything and join now before you forget!

Enjoy!
Leslie

P.S. Very Important INSIDER TIP: If Guido gives you a chance to “upgrade” your membership smart marketers will do it. That will allow you to have full control over where you product is placed (among MANY other benefits) so you can double or triple the new subscribers you get…that means you’ll see a sweet return on that investment for years to come.

Today is the day!

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on,
You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet “guru” does that, don’t be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it’s your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

Have you ever wondered how Internet marketing experts send out a single email and make enough money to buy a car?

It’s a little silly when you think about it. Does this sound too good to be true? For most people, it is too good to be true. But not when you have the “secret weapon” those experts don’t tell you about. If you had it, you can reproduce their results without breaking a sweat.

That secret weapon is a buyer list.

Most people think that a big mailing list is the secret to wealth. It really isn’t. What really counts is the quality of the people on your list, and by that I mean, do they buy when you send out an email?

If they don’t, they’re just sitting there. It wouldn’t matter if you had a million people on your list. No buyers means no business.

So if you want to know the “secret” to making money online, it’s having a list of people who willingly hand over money when you invite them to. It’s never been more complex than that.

What stands in the way of most people reaching that goal is not knowing how to build a list of buyers. You can cram a list full of subscribers, but then all you
have is a big list. Will they buy? Probably not, and most marketers know that they get only about 1-2% response when they send out an email.

That’s not bad if your list is huge, but what if you could send an email to a list of 2,500 people and get 10% of them to buy? That’s 250 sales for you!

Now, which do you think is easier…getting 25,000 people on your list and hoping that one-percent buy so you can get your 250 sales, or getting 2,500 buyers on your list who buy like crazy whenever you email?

Surprisingly, getting those 2,500 buyers is actually easier. And to tell the truth, most people with massive lists don’t even get 1-2% response when they email. It’s more like 0.05%. That means you’d have to kill yourself to build a list of 500,000 people to get hose 250 sales. No, thanks!

Remember, quality counts more than quantity for most things, certainly for mailing lists. If you’ll focus your efforts on getting buyers to join your list, you’ll be far better off. Pretty soon, you’ll have your own six-figure stories to tell.

I’m trying Yanik Silver’s Maverick Business Insider package. Are you?

I’ve read through everything and think it is the right program for me. I’ve been searching for something like this for a while but everything is either too expensive or doesn’t really appeal to me. I like this because of the overall philosophy of a creating balanced life and making 2009 a successful year on all levels.

If you ordered it and are interested in forming a kind of mini-mastermind after you get the materials then eMail me. This is a big step for me and I’m looking forward to growing my online business in 2009

If you haven’t seen it then here is the link:
http://vur.me/hwwm/MaverickInsider  

It’s amazing to me that he’s offering all those materials for the cost of shipping only so $7.95 in the US and Canada or $19.95 if you’re in another country.

I’m ready to get started immediately and hope you are too!

An integral part of building a successful home-based Internet Marketing business is building a targeted mailing list.

Participating in Giveaways is one GREAT way to build your list! Quite simply, you donate a product you have created or own with PLR rights.

Each contributor involved in the Giveaway, usually hundreds, agrees to promote the Giveaway to their mailing list.

As each person invited the Giveaway visits your sales page to download your product, you collect their contact information in your auto-responder form.

I’ve had great success building my mailing list by participating in Giveaways and you can too!
