Guest Article:
Never Give Up!
By: Brian Welch
When I first opened up shop on the Internet, I got a lot of advice and
encouragement from my family and friends. One piece of advice sticks
out more than anything and has really helped me to stick it out and turn
my small operation into a very successful online presence.
The advice came from my boss. I was working at a wholesale distributor
at the time. He had built his business up from a small pro shop to one
of the largest wholesale distributors in his industry, so when he gave
me business advice I listened. He told me that if I really wanted to
succeed I could, but I had to really want it. He told me the two most
important things to remember were to never give up and always maintain
my integrity.
I know, the advice does not seem life changing, and it sure as heck
isn't an original concept, but it has definitely helped me get to where
I am today. Like many people out there today it took me a long time to
build my business. There were many times that I wanted to quit and go
back to working full time for someone else. There were many months when
I was barely scraping by.
It was at those times when I would think about what my old boss said.
If I really wanted success, I could not give up. I had to push on!
Instead of quitting I would endeavor to learn more and more about being
successful on the Internet. I would take more courses, read more books,
study more web sites and consult with a business coach. I made a lot of
mistakes but I tried to learn from each and every one of them.
So, if it is taking longer than you thought or if you are starting to
become discouraged that your online business is not growing fast enough,
do not give up. The worse you do the harder you should try. That one
piece of advice has helped me build a very successful business presence
on the Internet.

I joined something this week that you should look at for yourself.
I have been impressed with the tools and programs available for you.
This program was launched only this past week and over 900 people
got on board, if you had joined, you could have had a lot of them in
your downline! I am telling you that this program will reward the
early bird, and what you get is way better than a worm. - Chris
MLMMagazine.com has a great new program
eBizCenter.com
and this week they made it BETTER!
100% Fast Start paid weekly $20 per referral
Plus 30% matching bonus of your referrals with 4 personal referrals
35% matching bonus of on their referrals 8 personal referrals
35% matching bonus of on their referral's referrals 12 personal
referrals
What's All This Cost:
$39.95 Your 1st Month
$28.95 Per Month There After
With A $20 Fast Start Bonus For Every Personal Referral Paid
Weekly You Only Need 2 To Get In Profit, And That's Not
Counting The Rest Of The Straight Line Downline Profit You'll
Be Eligible For!
Imagine having EVERYONE that joins eBizCenter after you in
YOUR organization. It doesn't matter who sponsored them, as
long as you joined eBizCenter before them they WILL BE in
YOUR eBizCenter organization.
This is the most exciting and lucrative Marketing and
Compensation plan ever developed. A Marketing and
Compensation plan that was three years in the making.
What is completely different (and very lucrative) about the
eBizCenter compensation plan is that it goes down in one Straight
Line. Everyone who enrolls after YOU is under YOU.
There are no branches, no left or right side, no filling levels, no
breakaways or takeaways just one Straight Line, going down forever...
Now think about that: If everyone is in one Straight Line, it means
that the sooner YOU join, the higher YOU are in that Straight Line.
Example: If you join at 10:00 AM, and the next person joins at
10:01 AM, you are automatically above him/her no matter who
sponsored them.No matter what, if YOU join first, you are above
EVERYONE who joins after YOU. And the higher YOU are, the
more people you can have below you to profit from.
Below are some of the tools you will receive, with more to be
added.

Mixed Bag::
Star Wars smar wars. Hope you enjoy the film if you go. Me?
Later. But, do you really believe in life in outer space? Does
the release of the "Phantom Menace" turn your eyes upward at
night wondering who is out there? Want to help find them? The
SETI project which searches outer space for ET life or least their
signals is now letting you and I search for signals from outer space.
You get a screen saver that will use your computer while it is idle.
The program which you can get free from http://planetary.org
or http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu
will download some data from
this project and analyze it. Once the signals are studied by the
program, they will send the info back to the project and get a fresh
batch of signals to analyze. This became available to the public
Monday this week. Now, if ET calls home, you may help provide
proof of that call.
Calling for help from a perlmaster. I have someone who contacted
me about upgrading a script, but I do not have the time or desire to
do so at this time. Anyone our there who likes this kind of thing
should contact me and tell me that you are willing to help Santa
(no joke) and I will tell you what I need. This is a paying job. Just
drop me a line: mailto:chris@stealthpromotions.com?subject=Santa
We have been working on our own site this week for change :-)
We have added about 1200 FFA links to our FFA links which
brings our FFA link count available to you up to about 1900.
http://www.stealthpromotions.com/ffa.htm
Digital Works offers a wide variety of terrific tools for busy
webmasters. This site is worth your time and a bookmark.
http://www.digitalwork.com/entry.asp?i=ilr000
We hope to get to the backlog of award nominations later this week.
I am looking forward to the AllAdvantage roll-out which is coming
soon. Thanks to those of you who have decided to get paid for
the time you are online. If you are not part of this program, which
continues to grow, why not? Be paid to surf the web. Joining is
FREE and the money should be good. Consider this a small push.
http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=ALU-661
I intend to
use the $20 bucks from this program to help with the cost of the
eBIZCenter mentioned above. What will you use your cash for?
Or are you waiting for another 325,000 to join in the next few
weeks to "see if anyone is really gonna do this?"
Watch your referral URLs. Been tracking a new tactic for one of
the programs I am an affiliated with and this week I got back the
results. Imagine my shock when the affiliate site said 0 visits and
my logs were showing many more than that. The problem? The
difference between a 1 (one) and the letter i. I used the wrong one
and thought I gave away many hits. I hate to think how much that
could of cost me EXCEPT that I was working with a great affiliate
program, WebPosition. Not only did they confirm my mistake, they
went to work to determine that I had a number of sales and many
free downloads of WebPosition, the terrific search engine rank
software. You folks running affiliate programs would do well to
follow this kind of example in your own program. Do you think
there is a chance that I am even MORE satisfied with the program
and the software? DEFINITELY. If you haven't tried this software
you may kick yourself after trying the free version, which I can
tell you for sure is available to you at
http://www.webposition.com/cgi-local/index.pl?DS1=RP&DS2=74I-5559
Special thanks to Scott Stanley and Adam Norton who were so
prompt and accurate with their response to my questions/mistakes.

Guest Article:
10 Ways to Make Your Professional Practice or Business Stand Out
From the Crowd
(c) 1999 Dr. Sheldon D. Nix, Ph.D. All rights reserved.
===============================================
You offer a great product or service, right? :-)
Chances are, you are not alone...unique...the only one offering the
products and services you offer. So how do you stand out --
differentiate yourself from others?
-----------------------------------------
10 POWERFUL DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES
-----------------------------------------
1. SPECIALIZATION. Pick a well-defined niche of clients or
issues you are good with AND that you have opportunities to reach.
A niche you can't reach...can't pay you. List out all the various target
groups you might like to reach and then rank them first in order of your
desire to work with them and then (going across) in order of how easy
it would be for you to reach them.
For instance, at The Successful Practice Institute at Eastern
College, we help PROFESSIONALS in private practice or with
a business. That rules out a lot of business people, which is
okay, because we can REACH professionals. They "hang out"
in their various specialties both online and off, and we can offer
practice-building help just for them. However, lots of other
small business people "lurk" on our newsletter because many of
our strategies and tools will work for any business. But we don't GO
AFTER our non-target groups.
2. QUALITY LEADER. If you aren't the only one, at least be
the BEST at it -- and known for being the best. This strategy requires
not only competence but also lots of public relations. You have to
create "buzz" about yourself. You have to get on talk shows, be
quoted in the media, write articles, etc.. Referral/word of mouth
marketing will also help here as clients and customers talk about you.
3. PICK A GREAT NAME. If you're clever, your name will help
you stand out. You can name your firm or business itself in a way
that stands out, or a service you provide, like "The 30-Day
Financial Recovery Program" which INSTANTLY tells people
what they'll get and how long it will take.
4. AFFINITY POSITIONING. Aligning yourself with a
well-defined target group is a great idea. It helps to build instant
trust. Let's say you've gone from being an accountant to consulting
with accounting firms on some aspect of the business. You can
describe yourself as "From an accountant who's been there, done
that, and knows exactly what to do now." Or, if you offer a business
opportunity, it would be great to reach the people who do the kind
of J.O.B. that you do every day, and show them how it fits what
they already know to do.
5. JOINT VENTURE. Establish as many partnerships
as you possibly can. The internet makes that easy. Just tonight
I sent an email to someone with a large newsletter list suggesting
he sell my 6-Figure Practice Blueprint, and I sell his main book
or video package for 50% commission. It's not the hassle of
an affiliate program but it could mean a quick few hundred
dollars for both of us.
6. METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. You can stand out by
HOW you deliver your products or professional services. If
you deliver consultation over the phone, or just-in-time desktop
computer training, or personal home visits as my masseur does
(so much more convenient, especially AFTER the massage
when I'm ready to go straight to bed and often do!), those are
things you ought to emphasize.
7. CONTINUITY/MEMBERSHIP. In the U.S., the
"Book-of-the-Month Club" made continuity programs famous.
People would usually get 4 books for $1.00, then they would
receive a book a month for a certain price. What was nice
about this is that you sell people ONCE, then they keep paying
you every month. This is residual income without a MLM
format (which you may or may like). Access to a members-
only website is a great way to do this strategy online.
Of course, you've got to have lots of value on that site.
The Warriors, Cookie Cutter, Wilson Web and many others
are making lots of money with this concept (our Institute also).
8. FULL-SERVICES. Think of what you sell as "problem
solving." Your product or service solves a problem people
have. Too many Internet marketers are trying to sell either
ONE thing or a HODGE-PODGE of things.
Here's a better idea. Offer EVERYTHING your prospects
need to solve the problem you solve. If it's internet marketing,
then offer books, links, resources, software, everything dealing
with net marketing. If it's building a business, then offer not just
the latest "hot" book, but consulting, teleclasses, directory of
specialists, legal forms, templates -- everything
entrepreneurs need to build their business. What you can't
offer yourself you can get others to offer (for a percentage of
their fees).
9. INNOVATION. One key strategy is to offer clients or
customers very innovative approaches to solving their problems.
In this strategy, you would be known as offering people the
very latest approaches to reaching their goals, and can position
yourself against the competition by saying something like,
"We don't give you the same tired old answers. We give you
the absolute latest and best approaches to...based on our
continuing research and experimentation...etc., etc.."
10. LOW PRICE. This one's tried and true, but only when
price really matters. Frankly, I'd suggest using this one
LAST, because it's hard to make significant income with
very low-priced items.
-----------------------------------------
SO WHAT DO I PICK?
-----------------------------------------
Wow! Big question. Here are 3 quick guidelines.
1. Which strategies felt like the EASIEST to do? Take the path of
least resistance. Do anything that will be both effective and easy
to do. Do the harder stuff -- if ever --
once you have a steady, high income.
2. Which strategies felt like YOU -- the person you are trying
to express in your profession or business. I put a high value on
personal integrity, on being true to your real Self, not merely
chasing dollars and clients.
3. Which strategies do your CLIENTS or CUSTOMERS
WANT? If they could design their perfect product or service in
your area of specialty, would they want? Write THEIR wish list.
Then see which of those you want to do and feel you can do.
