Multiply Your Advertising From Your Profits

Yesterday, we discussed some advertising strategies. Today let's talk about how we multiply your advertising with your profits. Some other people might say; Pyramiding your profits.

The whole concept here is that you have to think BIG!

You must have the commitment to do this. Here is how it works. Whatever profit you get out of one ad if large enough(profit), you will buy two ads. The money made from two ads will buy you four ads. The money from four ads will buy you eight ads. You get it? Just keep doubling the amount of ads with your profits. It won't be long before you will have literally thousands of ads submitted that can be like silent little money makers...bringing you in money no matter what time of day. That is like a passive investment, having your money work for you.

You will be looking back and thinking; Wow, it all started with that one ad. Now there is more to this strategy. The idea that is actually a working plan for many sounds rather easy, doesn't it? Well, no it isn't! Shucks, you say, I just knew there was a catch.

You know what the catch is? Simply, you have to have the Discipline and commitment to do this. You might recall at the start of this I said you need to have the commitment, the truth is you need both.

Here is what you need to do;

Open up a checking account specifically for advertising. When you make a profit on a particular ad, be sure you pay your bills and put the balance in your "advertising account"

It is up to you to decide how much you need to hold back for your business and for your advertising. If you find that you cannot multiply your advertising, than there is something wrong with your ads or where you are placing them. Read yesterday's article regarding this.

Now nothing in life that we do is going to turn out like the ideal scenario. As an example You may have the need for money elsewhere in the business. The point being, you need to advertise... no, you have to advertise, it is the cost of doing business. What this teaches us is discipline to think big and grow. It is also a great way to save your money for other needs. What you have to know is, this money is not for spending for anything except it's intended purpose.

Here Is An Advertising Strategy

The best and proven method with advertising is that you need to constantly test new areas. The people that are successful with their chosen business are advertising in new areas with newspapers and the Internet all at the same time. You will have so many newspapers that you are advertising in that you could literally fill a room... like the picture to the right -:). Just kidding, but I thought it makes a good point. Advertise, advertise and than do it again.

You have to monitor your ads very carefully and see which media is doing better than the others.
This is a time management and record keeping process.

What you need to do will become obvious...and that is;keep advertising with the media that pays for you and drop the ones that do not. You will find that this an ideal way to operate your business.

Keep in mind that there are literally thousands upon thousands of Internet and print advertising media to choose from. The main theme here is to set large goals, and do your best to reach them.

With the Internet you do not have to worry about having the local advertising mindset. You should be aware that when it comes to print advertising there are a lot of people that get stuck just advertising in their immediate area. The point being made here is you need to expand your advertising out through the state that you reside and eventually nationwide.

You need to think of a system where you are mixing or rotating your ads and at the same time you are doing that, you should be looking for new papers to advertise in. Remember, to keep the ads that are pulling well, paid for.

When advertising in different papers every week, you can eliminate the unresponsive papers and learn which papers are making you the best money. You should at least make a profit on each one. The newspapers that have been pulling in good profits from you for a period of time can still work for you. All you have to do is pull back your advertising to once or twice per month.The idea here is to be consistent.

When the ads stop making a profit, you can try a new ad, or move on to a different paper. Then, a few months in the future you might want to come back and try it again. Remember, the ads and product/service worked the first time you advertised. It would be worth a shot to try again at a later date. Keep your records, so you can organize the profit pullers and the money pit newspapers separate.

Tomorrow, I would like to talk about the re-investing of advertising profits.

10 Different Ways To Advertise

I saw this while surfing the net and I thought I would bring it to your attention. Advertising has a lot of imagination, here is more of just that by Roy Williams. We are going to get into that also on this site in the near future.

The more knowledge that you have about advertising your product or service is just that much more you can be ahead of your competition.

Remnant Space Advertising

Usually Newspapers have the most remnant spots. Oh, first of all let me explain what Remnant spots are. Remnant space is leftover space or space that did not sell. The media such as radio, television and Newspapers call this Remnant space.

If you are going to advertise on radio, make sure that you buy more than just one. You want to advertise by buying as many ads as you can for the best price. When you buy these ads proclaim that you want remnant space thrown into the deal. For example; If you buy say 20 ads on a Friday, at the regular price, ask for 25 more ads to be scheduled at the radio station's convenience, during the next 2-4 days. This ad may run at weird times like 4 or 5 in the morning or at maybe the one of the best times...say around noon. However you look at this the extra ads are a plus for you.

Television, always has some remnant space. When you think of all the local stations, cable networks and affiliates etc. you can find some really good deals. I have heard of people getting a minute of air time for $50.00. The same thing applies here as does radio advertising you have to insist on getting some bonus time if you buy a lot more than just one ad.

Newspapers- This is the most difficult media to deal with. These people hold the freebies for their largest and most consistent advertisers. Look around your area, I bet you have a lot of other local papers that would welcome your business. Run a large ad with them for a month or so than ask if they would run remnant ads throughout their paper. You could suggest to the paper to have the readers read your larger ad through the filler ads by putting in the page number where the larger ad is located. This could effect the way people view your business when they see all these extra little filler ads.

Have you ever seen your local businesses in a large National magazine? These ads are called demographic or regional editions. What they do is put inserts that have the local ads. Check and see with someone in your area locally. If you cannot find a contact number, the media should have a number where it says you can place advertising. Then, just ask for a local advertising number for that magazine.

It is best to wait until an hour or so before the deadline. You probably will get a sweet deal. These people, know that if they have any space left, they would rather sell it for a reduced price than letting it go empty. You will be amazed if you can do this and what you can get for a really large ad. I have heard of a full page going for around $200-$300.00. The secret is in your timing.

Advertising With Newspapers

There are a lot of Newspapers that have their own rules and procedures to allow you to advertise with them.

With some newspapers, if you feel you would receive good exposure, than you might have to change your ads, based on their insertion criteria. I use to Advertise with one of the Major Newspapers out here on the West Coast. I finally determined, that it was just not worth all the fuss I had to go through to continue advertising with them. The end result was, I dropped that one and added two others that had the same circulation when combined.

Perhaps you may find one that it is of absolute necessity that you advertise with them. Should that be the case work with an Advertising manager that handles your particular category. See what you can change about your ad, that you satisfy their requirements or policy.

Have you ever heard of Remnant space? Tomorrow we will talk about how you can pay less for your ads using this strategy.

A New Home Business Idea.

My wife just hates to do housework. I can't say that I blame her. She works all day(her choice)and does not have much interest in cleaning a house. You just know that there are millions just like her that feel the same way.

With all the homes and Apartments that are scattered around most cities, you have a lot of potential customers. It does not take a highly skilled person to do this, and if you are just starting out, your customer already has the equipment. It would be advisable as you grow with this business to acquire your own,(equipment) as soon as your profits will allow.

Since this is a service business you have to put out quality work. The word will spread and you will soon need to duplicate your efforts...Hire other people, and watch your business grow.

Try A Smaller Newspaper For Testing

Yesterday, I mentioned a great place to go to place your ads...https://americanclassifieds.com/.

If you have been to the site, you no doubt noticed that you have quite a choice, where you could run an ad in print and or online. btw- print ads are normally seen by more people than your online ads. This is of course based on how, when, and what source you are using for online advertising. We will get into that at a later date.

You will find that there are small-town weekly newspapers that will place your ad for as low as $2.00 or even less. That is a great rate particularly if you made just one sale. Let's say your product or service is selling for $20.00. Should that be the case you have made a gross profit of 1000% of your cost. Now if you ran 20 of those $2.00 ads, making on the average 1 sale per each newspaper. That's $400.00 and you only invested $40.00 .Let's get really conservative and say you only make 10 sales for all 2o newspapers. The ads would cost $40.00, your sales would be $200.00 based on the above figures your gross profit would be $160.00. That's 4x your advertising costs. Can you see the potential with this?

I cannot say it enough. The main thing you should do is test, test, test your ads before you run that particular ad in more publications. Try 3 or more different ads advertising the same product. When your ad expires look at the sales. The ad that pulled the most sales is the one that you want to run in more and more publications.

A Few Thoughts On Small Ads

The first thing that you need to do is find the right publication. I remember looking in Popular Mechanics and did not see very many ads in the category in which I wanted to run it in. I felt that was due to the fact that the ads that ran before me did not work. Popular Mechanics has been around for years. I thought why re-invent the wheel? Go for a publication that runs a lot of little ads. Doesn't that make sense to you?

When people are looking at ads, you do not have very much time to catch their attention. That's why you have to make your ad standout with a good headline or a snazzy type of graphic to catch as many eyes as possible.

Do you recall what I said about advertising?... You have to be consistent. Test some ads first and than run the best one for at least 3 or 4 months.

The one obvious thing that you need to do with advertising is make it easy for people to contact you. If you have a stay at home business an 800# would be a great way to do that. Otherwise you can use an 800# that pages your cell phone when someone calls. The most important thing is to get back to that prospect as soon as possible.

I have seen a lot of small ads in publications that use a designed border or just a solid border around the ad. Again you need to stand out. Do not dismiss Print advertising, It is still a very effective way to advertise your business. Remember if you are running a home business and/or an internet business, it's an absolute must to have a website.

Tomorrow I will give some ideas as where you can test your ads and than when you get a good response on one, you can run it out or expand it to more or different publications.

Take A Look At This Business!

The Middle class is being attacked! The trend is firmly entrenched with the outsourcing of good paying jobs.


customer support,airlines phone sales counters, etc. going to India and other similar countries Good paying blue caller jobs in the US are declining with manufacturing moving to China, Mexico and other countries. At home jobs like construction, landscaping, farm labor, hotel services, etc. are being filled by illegal aliens. So where does that leave us? In the middle fighting to maintain our life style.

Gas prices are soaring. The cost of living is on the rise. The value of the US dollar is dropping. Most of us in the middle class are burdened by crushing debt. And to make it worse we are being attacked from all sides! We can blame ourselves. When was the last time you went shopping for clothes? Did you check the labels? Everything is from China, not the USA like it was not so long ago. And I bet you pay for everything with your credit cards.

Speaking of credit cards, we are guilty of buying ourselves into debt. This is part of the problem. Your home, your auto, your boat, etc. are all owned by the bank and you make payments every month from your shaky income to maintain this debt. By the way, if you own your home it is not an asset unless you are renting it out and not living in it, and if you are refinancing your home as the equity increases to pay off debt, you are following the fool's pursuit.

Even though the United States has the most advanced medical industry in the world, it is expensive and medical insurance for the average family of four is over $1000 over month. But nationalizing our health care is not the answer. And you can bet that taxes will rise considerably if the Democrats take control the presidency as well as the house, and you are the one the taxes will rise for. And as taxes rise you can also expect the local job market will shrink as well.

So what are you going to do?


The rich (anyone making over $500,000 per year) will hardly be effected. There is a reason for this. The rich do things differently than the poor and middle class do, and you don't have to be rich to learn what they do, and by learning and applying this new mind set. you will find yourself gaining the same advantages they do and actually begin to build wealth instead of debt.

Find out why the rich pay far less taxes, how they make their money work for them instead of working for money. How they protect their assets and build additional wealth. When you discover these principle and apply them to your life, you will see your life and finances make a major turn for the better. When these principles are applied you will no longer fear for your job.

By joining Sohomatic, you will have access to this information and learn how to apply it to your particular situation.

I have and here is an example of how I took a $1300 a month expense and turned it into profit. Several years ago I was paying $900 per month to finance my RV as well as another $400 a month to store it in covered storage in a nearby storage facility. I only use it 2 or 3 times a year.

With this new mindset, I went out and found an RV rental store and discovered that they would store my RV for free and use it in their inventory of rentals. By doing this they split what they rent it out for with me. On the average I receive a check from them every month for $1500.00. I have turned that liability into and asset that makes me around $7000.00 per year and I still get to use the RV whenever I want to. I have taken that income and used it to pay the RV's mortgage down as well so my monthly mortgage on that RV is now below $500 per month.

Plus I get to write off all the costs of the RV against my income when I pay taxes. Brilliant isn't it? Speaking of taxes, because I also own my own little business now, I have cut my taxes by more than %50!

Gardening As A Home Business

You probably know by now that I live in beautiful Sunny San Diego. It's an all year around job out here for gardening and lawn work.

My gardener is really into this in a big way. Don't let anyone tell you that it is a small time business. He makes enough money to send his kids to private school and he lives in a really nice home.

The truth is he earns all this through gardening, weeding, mowing lawns, and trimming trees and hedges. He very rarely does any hard scape work. Just check around the area to see what the going fee would be to charge your future clients.

Advertising:Think Before You Speak

Just as your funny bumper sticker might offend the guy behind you, your ad may not be saying what you want the target audience to hear

This is a great article, it illustrates what I have been writing about; you need to target your reading audience, not everyone interprets an ad the same way.

Have you Kept A Database Of Your Customers?(contd)

Continued from yesterday:

Now that you have your Database how do you organize it?

The least difficult thing to do would be to have a bundle of 3"x5" index cards. Now, this depends on how large of a customer base that you have or if you rather have it all automated.

For those that want to automate their business, due to customer volume and the products or services that need to be handled, this choice would be the best. Since we are living in a computer age, software and computers(hardware) are really inexpensive now days.

Can you remember when(computers) they were huge and cumbersome? We sure have come a long way in this field. The bottom line is, anyone that cannot afford the software or hardware for this particular job, probably should not be in business anyhow.

There are a lot of software databases, you might want to do a search engine on this to find out which one would best fit your needs. The only thing that you have to know is; what type of Operating system that you have. Windows, a Mac. Or?

The bottom line to Database Marketing is to ask your customer what they want or need and to facilitate the acquisition of that product or service before your competition beats you to the punch.

The old rule of KISS(keep it simple stupid) still applies. don't make this an issue, just get it done. Your customer is waiting! You can use those index cards, if a computer makes things too difficult for you.

Have you Kept A Database Of Your Customers?

If you are fortunate enough to have a Database of customers, you now need to maintain a Database of those customers.

The more information that you have regarding your customers, the better you can target what you can market to them. Find out things such as their interests, desires, needs, if possible their birth date etc. The more you know about them, the more you will be able to market to them.

Let's say you have a garage and one of the things you do on a continual basis is change oil and filters. Now most people know when to change their oil and filter. However, if you send that customer a post card or even call them before their next oil change is due, you can beat your competition to the punch. Not only that but you will be surprised how your customer will appreciate this personal reminder.

When I was growing up as a teenager, I had a Milk Route. It was my job to know exactly when my customers needed milk. We later expanded that list to cover just about all the dairy products. Now days, your local stores and supermarkets really hurt your local milkman. The point I am making here, is to set up a way to build rapport with your customer. The more you interact and communicate, the more likely that customer will be loyal to buy from you rather than your competitor.

Now with the event of the huge department stores and supermarkets, building a relationship with your customer is more important than ever. A relationship with your customers, is the edge that you will have, that the big chains do not.

Now we have been talking about supermarkets, stores etc., but as you can reason things out this Data Base marketing can apply to any business.

Tomorrow, we will discuss some marketing tools to accomplish the organization of your Database.

Another Business Idea

Do you feel that you are really good at repair work...or just plain fixing things that are broke or in need of repair?

There are plenty of small projects that a lot of homeowners or Senior Citizens would rather call a Handyman for those repairs. Maybe they would like to have some painting done. Perhaps They may have leaky faucets, plugged kitchen or bathroom sinks, deteriorated wood or termite damaged wood etc. You get the idea. If you are good at small repairs, you could make some great spare time money on your days off. Who knows, it could grow into a full time business.

Get in contact with your friends and neighbors or small apartment owners. Spread the word about your skills.

Make a list of the charges for whatever trades you want to earn your extra income at.

How Does Your Ad Look?

This is Continued From Yesterday. Today, let's discuss the best day out of the week to run your ad.

How to determine the best day to run an ad:

There are a number of business people that run ads when their not there. What good is that? So first thing we need to do is to run an ad when your business is open. This is a simple thing to do, but incredulously it is frequently overlooked.

If you are going to put an ad in the newspaper, than the following is how you should Target your market.

Let's start with Monday. Monday's sport section is where people like to see how their favorite teams did on Sunday. Anything to do with the man in the house should be advertised on that day in the Sports section.

The middle of the week...Wednesdays according to my ad consultant is the time to advertise anything that has to do with food or specials that your business may be running.

Fridays, what do most people say?; TGIF. The singles are looking for the bars and the older people such as yours truly looks in the papers for my favorite action flick. That get's me looking in the Entertainment section of the newspaper. I also see a lot of ads for Electronics.

I know that when I use to do advertising in my local paper Sundays had high readership so you are going to be paying a higher price than the other days. The thing you need to do is test a Sunday ad to make sure it translates into more sales for you than the rest of the week.

I remember running an ad that was 8x11, about the size of your normal flyer. Guess what? since it was in color I already had some good graphics for circulars and customer handouts. I mean you pay a good price why not make as much use of your ad as possible?

I have see people outside stores hired by the owners handing out to would be patrons their ads all day long. Without fail the owner tells me it works really well. People see something that peaks their interest and checks it out. Should they not buy the item that brought them inside the store, odds were they usually made another purchase that was totally unrelated to the circular/flyer.

The best way to advertise is to always target your market. For example, if you are going to advertise desks and office supplies, who often buys those items? Of course you say, business people. That is why you advertise in the Business section of the newspaper, or even in a business paper if you have one in your City rather than the major newspaper. If you are going to run discounted items, you might look for a shopper type of newspaper...Penny saver, Thrifty Nickel etc. The whole concept here is to test and market. Than if that works well, roll it out to other Papers in your area.

Talk with your advertising consultant regarding testing the market. This is of extreme importance with any advertising campaign. There is a lot to learn here, so you need to do your homework.

How Does Your Ad Look?

It is very important to have a good looking ad. The ad that you place in your niche market has to compete with all the other ads. Do you think that it would be important for your business to be represented by an ad that will sell your business to the reader?

What will catch your reader's attention? That is a question that has to have an answer. Do you think you can handle the job at hand? If you are serious about having a productive ad, and you feel you don't have the answer, what do you do?

You hire a professional and make sure that person is a top-rate graphic designer.The graphic designer will work on the look for the ad that best suits your business. The end result should meet with your approval. Now that you have what you feel would be the perfect ad that best represents your business, what's your next step?

Another Home Business Idea

Just the other day I was on route 94 out here in San Diego, California. I happened to notice right off the North side of the Freeway a huge pile of Firewood.

We all know how high coal, oil and gas is for heating our homes or offices. From the looks of the storage area of this particular location it certainly appears that there is a good market for this commodity. This is Sunny San Diego,California, I can imagine the increasing need in colder areas.

Where can you find this firewood? Well let's think about that. You no doubt have tree trimmers, tree removal services, contractors(New Homes) They have to clear the areas for construction. A lot of Farmers have a lot of acreage. All you have to do is cut and sell the firewood.

Why Not Set Up Your Own Ad Agency?

Do you know that Media outlets Pay 15% commission for you to
bring ads to them?

The 15% by the way will be figured into the cost of the ad. The
truth is as long as they get the ad and the business, it doesn't
matter who they pay the commission to. So why not save on your
next ad?

You will be saving on all the advertising media that comes to
mind. Radio, television,magazines,newspapers,just about any
outlet you can think of.

Now ad agencies usually write your ads and format them along
with where to place them. If you are good at ad writing why not
do it yourself and save the 15%? There are a lot of small
business people that do not have the budget to pay agencies.
When you think of your bottom line, you will see that the 15%
can really help with your incoming cash flow.

What you need to do is print up a Letterhead and of course you
will need some type of form to show what ads are going to be
placed and ordered. This is commonly called an insertion order.
Just do some Google searches and you should find plenty of
generic forms for your business to utilize.

What a lot of people do is just ad the words In-house Agency
after the name of their Company. This should throw away any
feeling of guilt that you may have about being deceitful. Again
as mentioned earlier it does not matter to the media outlets as
they have this built into the costs of the ad. As long as they
get the business is their main concern or agenda.

When you place your ad, all you have to do is ask for the
standard 15% agency discount or commission. There are very few
outlets(media) that will refuse the request. Now this does not
include any space that they did not sell (remnant space) or per
inquiry ads. You also could not expect a commission if you do
not have your ad prepared or laid out or typeset.

We are talking about display advertising. However, you can usually get a
commission on classified advertising as well. It may not be 15%
but anything that helps your bottom line is what you are seeking.

You Need To Advertise More Than Once

Most people that are in business for any length of time can tell you that advertising has to be consistent. There are people that start a business and think that if they put out one large ad in a high circulation type media that that should propel them forward

Wrong:

There is an average that ads that are given a lot of thought may be seen by the targeted customer once out of 7 or 9 times. These ads have to be seen at least three to 7 times before they have enough effect on the reader to be given any type of consideration. Rule of thumb is that an ad has to be consistent to the tune of at least 27-30 times before it has any impact whatsoever.

Any one in business that is successful will tell you that their experience has been to commit to advertise. Set aside a percentage of your gross profits. Make it a absolute necessary expense if you expect to stay in business. Sometimes a one-shot ad may make it. Just realize that if you go to Las Vegas and play the slots you could get lucky too. Bottom line is, if you have enough money you can try, but don't break the bank.

Find The Next Party

Find The Next Party;

and Hire yourself out as a person who can organize all the details regarding birthday parties, weddings, Anniversaries, etc. You might want to join some local clubs (social) and spread the word to individuals, caterers, party Rental Companies, etc. This very well could be the start of your own party rental or catering business company.

The Value Of A Customer

There are some simple questions that you can ask yourself regarding how valuable just one customer is:

Have you ever thought of this in regards to the service that you provide to your customer for your business? Isn't it true that if you provide great service to your customer that he/she will continue to come back and use your service time and time again?

How much during the course of 12 months will that one customer purchase from your business?

Let's consider a Delivery business:

If a mid-size company has a need for a pickup and delivery service at $30.00 per shipment and they send 20 shipments per week, that's $600.00 per week or $31,200 Per year. Now let's say that a customer does not like how one shipment is handled and he goes to another competitor. Do you think that it would make sense to give the next 4 shipments for free in order to keep that particular customer happy?

One valued customer in a service type business or any business is the most valuable commodity that you can have. Treat every customer like gold.

Blogrolling Is A Good Thing

Hmmmmmmm Why Should I blogrool?

You might notice that on the right side of my blog I recently put up a link called blogroll. Blogrolling is simply linking to other blogs that relate to the content of your own blog.

We as a community of Bloggers see this as helping one another by linking.Sometimes it is better to divert your traffic elsewhere. This is usually a reciprocal act and can be very helpful for your visitors by diverting them to a fellow bloggers's website. You now have helped a visitor if they find the link helpful. You also have helped the person and their blog on the other side of the link by adding to their traffic.

This is a win, win situation and should be given consideration if you are new to blogging.

Tax Preparer/Bookkeeper

You know as a home business, there are no doubt tons of small business people that really do not require a full-time bookkeeper. My sister-in-law has been doing this for many few years out of her residence and she makes almost a 6 figure income. Now you would probably agree, that is a really great income for a one person operation.

Keep in mind the busiest times are around tax season. This means you can always pick up more business by keeping the books for small business people.

Do you have any training in this field? You can casually visit your local businesses and get some part-time work from each entity that you visit. It would not take many locations when you think about it to keep you busy.

As With All Businesses, Keep An Internet Presence.

Another Good Reason Why You Should Have Your Own Business

You probably heard of Corporate downsizing, layoffs, Etc. There are so many areas in the United States where people barely can make ends meet.

There are men and their wives in their 40's and 50's that have kids that have to move in with their parents. Read more about this and you will be able to further comprehend on the security that can come when you are in charge of your own business.

Knowing your Market/Product

Just Like Walmart you should know who your customer is.

When it comes to buying products or services, it is all about choices. Any potential customer that you will have, chose to buy your product or service.

You have to remember that any prospect that you may have wants to know what you have that will benefit them. The prospect does not have your interest at heart, they just want to know why they should consider buying what you are selling.

When I was in training as a salesperson, I was taught that selling is nothing but problem solving. When you have a product or service to sell you should ask…How can I take care of a problem or what needs does the prospect have that I can fulfill? What are the advantages to your customer or how will they benefit from what you have to offer them?

A customer’s experience from owning your product or service is more important than the actual commodity or service itself. People are looking for a rational reason to buy due to the fact that their emotions may be stronger than their logic to buy.

It is your responsibility to know why people buy even better than they know themselves.

Your prospects are human beings with human needs. It is up to you to ask pertinent questions to find out how to appeal to their basic human needs to create a maximum impact. Hone in on the one thing that will create a positive response.

It’s not sufficient to point out a need. The more urgent and emotional the need the more likely your prospect is to respond.

How you approach a prospect and communicate with that prospect is just as important as what you are selling. It all comes down to whether or not your prospect trusts you. Your persona, reputation, the guarantee that your product holds, the proposition, all have impact on the buying decision. One has to ask what makes us better than the competition and analyze that from the customers point of view.

People are looking at things that can fill an immediate need…let’s say over prevention or long term potential problems.

Show anyone how to quickly and easily acquire money or love…that’s something that will always work. However, the challenge is making them believe you.

Learn the specific market or need. Example would be, for instance a quick and easy diet plan vs. just another diet.

People want to avoid work, time commitments, risk, budgeting, criticism, trouble, and effort. People want to spend, be affluent, and feel good.

Since there are usually more features about a product than benefits. Turn all those features according to your products emotional needs into what will benefit them the most.

The only way to find out what your customer is thinking is to start asking them questions. People do not have to respond to statements, but it would be considered rude if they do not answer your diplomatic questions.

When testing any market you have to do your homework, test on a small scale before you roll out your advertising to gain the prospects you are searching for.

Do not guess. Test everything in the marketplace through actual traced returns and sales.

Your Business Inquiry-Conversion Costs

Yesterday we talked about direct mail and media advertising. Today, let's talk a little about converting those inquiries and how to estimate your cost per inquiry.

To calculate your inquiry-conversion costs, you must estimate the total number of inquiries you expect to receive or project from those you have already received in test ads. You must also figure out your costs for handling the inquiries. This means opening the envelopes, typing address labels, etc. With Internet Advertising it means double-opting those people that expressed a desire about your product or service.

Your inquiry handling cost costs, for example, might be $40.00/M or 4cents/inquiry. Now multiply that number times the expected number of inquiries to obtain your total inquiry handling costs. Finally, add your total media advertising costs plus your total inquiry handling costs to find your total costs for obtaining all the inquiries.

You now can treat your total inquiry obtainment costs as a list rental cost or the costs for developing your email list.

A New Home Business Idea

Dictation by Telephone:


A telephone recording device is a good way for a former Secretary to make money in a Home Business. By dialing your number any businessman can dictate directly over the phone to the recording device-which you would later transcribe on.

Is Audio Advertising Appropriate For All Sites?

One of the biggest questions that we get is...

Won't audio ads scare away visitors to my website?

The answer is no, we have been testing this system
successfully for 2 1/2 years. Complaints are rare
because the ad is contextually related to the web
page on which audio ads are played.

As a website owner you need to choose which pages
in your website are appropriate for audio advertising.
We agree that audio ads are not appropriate for all
pages.

We give you the power to choose where audio ads play.
Further, audio ads are only heard one time by your
visitor so they will not get bombarded with one ad
after another.

We already have a few millionaires in the making
because they have referred this opportunity to
bigger players in the industry. Others have set
themselves up with huge residual income opportunities
by referring hundreds or even thousands of people
into this opportunity.

Remember, there is no cost to join and it costs
nothing for your referrals to join.

This is a limited time opportunity... Will you
take a few moments to inform your contacts so
that you can reap residual rewards from their
effort for years to come?

Media Advertising and the costs involved

As with direct mail, be sure to include your creative and prep work costs in your total advertising costs. If you plan to use the same ad copy for a number of ads, you can amortize the creative costs over the entire ad campaign.

What needs to be done is to include your complete creative and prep work costs over a long-term promotion. Just include your complete creative and prep work costs plus the total costs of all ads to be used plus any miscellaneous costs...such as overhead. Should there be any other costs that you feel are appropriate be sure to add them also.

Your advertising costs can then be used to figure your total costs per order or costs per inquiry for the entire promotion.

Tomorrow we will talk about Inquiry conversion costs.

Errand Running Service As A Home Business

You will have many potential customers for this service. Businesses, neighbors, senior citizens, etc. You can offer a delivery or pick-up service. Do shopping, buy gifts, take care of banking, etc.

This and many other home type businesses always require that you get the word out. That is why advertising an internet business or a local business in your area has to be advertised.

As always don't forget to keep an Internet Presence.

How to Calculate The Costs Of Your Promotions For any Home Or Internet Business

Let's first talk about Direct Mail Programs. Direct Mail Programs are still a viable force as far as marketing is concerned.

For direct mail programs you can calculate either total costs or costs/M, to figure costs/M, you will need to know how many thousands you intend to mail since creative and prep work costs should amortized over the entire mailing, and other production costs vary depending on quantity. Let's take for example the cost /M for 1M letters might be $39.00 whereas the cost /M for 20M obviously would be less when dealing in quantity.

Be sure to include all creative costs; salaries or fees of the writers and artists, materials costs, etc. Than there is all prep work costs such as typesetting, photography, pasteups, color separations, etc.

Printing costs can be obtained from your printer. List rental costs should include the costs of preparing and using your own house lists, rental of other lists, and merge-purge operations.

If you have a lettershop handle the mailing, inserting, addressing, and mailing charges may be grouped as one cost. If you do the mailing yourself, you need to consider the costs of inserting all pieces into the outer envelope, the costs of labeling the envelope, and the costs of bagging, sorting, and mailing. Be sure to include all labor costs.

One miscellaneous cost you might want to include is a percentage of your overhead for the advertising department and mailing operations. Some mail order people include it and many do not. The ones that do not consider it as an overhead or fixed cost.

Postage costs vary depending on whether you use first class, third class, bulk rate, or some other means of delivery such as by hand, or by mailgram, or by UPS, or by birds, or by lizards, or whatever...you get the idea-just be creative.

Tomorrow let's talk a little about media advertising.

How To Make The Best Use Of Your Time

When it comes to a Home Business or whenever you start a new project, you should lay out a schedule, detailing each activity you must complete. Let's call this a Project log. This project log ensures two things:

1. That no essential activity will be forgotten, and
2. That each job gets done in sequence and, it is done on time.

The Project Log will also help you in planning future home business or Internet Income making projects by providing you with a realistic idea of how long each activity will take, based on your past experience.

First you will need a name for your project with the starting date and the Target Completion Date.

So, on one line we will have what is scheduled with a column for start and column for finish. Next to that will be the Actual start and Finish Columns. To the right of these columns you enter the Activity and on the right margin you can put the title "Done" and check off the date that you did so.

If anyone wants me to email them how this finished product should look, get in touch with me by leaving your comment and email address. I will be happy to send you a copy. Not only will this help you for any home business it does just as well for an Internet business.

Tomorrow we will determine how to calculate the cost of your promotions.

A New Home Business Idea

Well actually this has been around for a long time but there is just so much business for this that the field is hardly overcrowded.

I am talking about Attics, Basements and Garage Cleaning. These are three areas that collect both dirt and junk and should be "cleaned up" periodically. It's hard physical work and most people would rather hire someone to do the job. One thing for sure you will never run out of work. This is what you might say is "job security".

Just run your home business smarter and not harder and hire a crew to do just that.

Remember for any business always keep an internet presence.

How To Choose The Optimum Project (contn'd)

Ok, I named most of the criteria that should be relevant to your money making project yesterday.

If you have any other criteria you would like to use to create an internet income or a work from home opportunity, you might want to weigh some more factors.There are factors that could create a problem or not. For example, if you have little money to start with, capital requirements could be the determining factor in your decision and, or, if your time is limited because of full time employment elsewhere, factors (1) and (2) or factor (6) might be the most significant factors and carry the greatest weight.

Once you have assigned number values to all the categories, add them up. The project with the highest total should be given first priority in your plans on how to proceed in your most profitable market(s) Generally, it is this one project which will allow you to make optimum use of your time and resources.

Now you can let these determining factors help you choose which projects to pursue first, but don't let it be the sole determining factor. It should supplement your own intuitive judgment, not replace it.

Tomorrow we will get into how to make best use of your time

Money In Old Magazines

Did you know how much money there is in Old Magazines? Just do a Google search to find out.

Start a collection of old magazines from your neighbors, friends, and relatives.Then offer these "back issues" magazines for sale at cut rate prices. Ideal at garage sales,flea markets etc. Start making money at home now.

Children's Trips And Outings.

A good money-making idea is to organize day trips with small groups of children. You might take them to museums, the beach, the zoo, to ball games, on hikes, picnics, bicycle rides, to the fire house etc.

"Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life". It's a quote and I am not sure who said it, it sure does have a lot of truth doesn't it?

The only true way of gaining a fortune is to have your own business. Why not start now?

How To Choose The Optimum Project

This is a continued series from yesterday; (Planning For
Profit... yesterdays Title)

Let's say you have only one product or idea to sell for your home business or Internet income opportunity... than it would not be necessary to organize your projects into any type of priority since you have only one.

Now if you are blessed (or cursed) and you have an abundant
imagination and a number of possible projects, than you would
need to organize those projects by priority.

What you would do is to list each of your potential projects and
note what product you plan to sell and how you plan to promote
it. Would you use direct mail, magazine ads, other ads, put it
in a catalog, or would you use Internet Advertising exclusively?

Suppose you have 10 different projects to work on. You would
assign a number from 1 to 10 to each project under each of the
following categories:

1.Promotion timing-the time required to get the promotion off
the ground. allow time to design and write the advertisement or
sales literature, to prepare the copy, to print, and to mail
(Plus advertising lead times)

2. Product timing-time required to have a finished product.
Allow time for designing, tooling, producing, and shipping. Be
conservative. You might also want to consider how long it will
take to obtain reorders, if that is needed criteria.

3.Capital requirements-how much up-front cash will the project
require? How much for designing, how much for tooling, how much
for ad copy prep work, how much for initial product inventory
and promotion? The higher the capital requirements, of course,
the less desirable the project would be. especially if your
financial resources are limited. Make this category more
objective by assigning concrete values to each number-for
example, 10=$100.00 or less, 9= $101.00 to $300.00,... 1=
$5,000 to $10,000, 0= $10,000 and up-or some other such ranking
which reflects the range of potential capital requirements.

4. Profit potential-how much profit can you expect to earn from
each project? Assign a dollar value to each number from 1 to
10, zero being the lowest and ten the highest. Be realistic in
evaluating the potential profits. Use a cost analysis and profit
formula to determine potential profits for each project.I will
describe and illustrate this for you at a later date in this
series! Hint- Keep coming back!

5.Back end potential-the potential for repeat sales. Will your
customers come back for more? Does the product itself get used
up or wear out so the customer will need to buy more?(e.g.,
vitamins or clothing)? Or, can you develop an appropriate line
of products which can be offered to your customers(e.g., a
catalog of kitchen gadgets or a series of books)? Repeat
customers are the foundation of all businesses.

6.Ease Of Operation- Is it something you can handle? Does it
draw upon your talents and interests? Will it be easy to set
up and continue? If impossible, assign a zero; if you could
do it in your sleep,assign a ten.The more suitable, the
higher the number.

7.Odds of success- the most subjective of the rankings. How
appealing is the product? How large is the customer base?
Will it play in Peoria? The rating here should reflect your
enthusiasm for the product, plus-more important-the results
of any market testing you have done. Zero indicates no chance of
success. Ten indicates that the sky is the limit.

Tomorrow, Other criteria...

Social Media optimization(Traffic Suggestion)

Social Media Optimization...

It is a fact that social media is outpacing search engine traffic and is becoming the single element that has been responsible for many online successes.

The boom of social media has made it exceedingly easy to gain traffic and loyal followers faster than ever before. Optimizing for the search engines is one thing but optimizing for social media is something entirely different.

Think of social media as the "human driven" element of your online presence and think of search engine optimization (SEO) as something that you build through solid website structure coupled with social media. Get your Internet business going in a big way by using this outlet.

What is Social Media?

Put simply, social media is any outlet through which Internet users have contact with each other or you. Social media allows Internet users to communicate on a more personal level. When you communicate on a personal level you will have more interaction. This interaction becomes more personal thereby giving more credibility to your product or service.

For more information regarding Social Media, just do a Google Search or get a full course in this by joining PPP(Pay Per Play)

Planning For Profit

One has to optimize their time and resources to ensure success on the Internet. This means you have to plan your projects carefully. What is the best product to sell? What price will you sell it at? How will you sell it and by what means? These are just some sample questions that need answered before you can begin a successful Internet business. I am sure you would like the answers to those questions. Well before we go any farther, let me ask you some questions; Do you know what your costs are going to be?, How about your capital requirements? and/or your profit potential and time schedules to accommodate the sales for your products and services.

Think about the questions that I just asked. I will be getting into more detail on those subjects in the coming days and weeks. Remember that you need to have a plan. That plan has to head you in the direction that you intend your business to go. The concept behind this is to free you to spend more time working on your business and not just in the business.

Ways To Make Money At Home

Have you ever seen the people washing and waxing cars at an office building?

Car washing particularly for warmer areas can be a a great year-round profitable business. You can do it at your home or there are a number of office buildings that are in your area that you could arrange such a service.

I live in San Diego, Calif. I see a number of these services doing just that. I talked to one of the owners and casually asked at some point in our conversation if he could give me a general figure of what he was earning.

Believe it or not just from this one office structure he was earning over 6 figures per year and he had two other locations.

He also offered car waxing. He was able to charge a lot more money "waxing" cars.

Check around your area to find out what others are charging to determine what you should charge for this service

Locating Profitable Markets by Charles Heflin

Good Afternoon Everyone:


Since this Blog is about Internet Income 4 Beginners, I thought the Article below by Charles Heflin should be great content for anyone that is determined to start an Internet business.

I have mentioned and displayed links on this site regarding PPP(Pay Per Play)advertising. Charles Heflin does training for those wishing to promote PPP. This would include yours truly.

I feel Charles has a lot of great things to say about making money online and you should be made aware of it.

btw- If you have not joined yet, I strongly urge you not to miss out on an Advertising Opportunity that I can almost guarantee will be larger than Television and Radio combined.

I have posted the link on the right side of the blog where it reads; "Advertising More Effective Than The Superbowl.

For your convenience Click Here!!

Now Let's Get Started With Locating Profitable Markets;

You should never go on guessing o the advice of someone else in order to determine if a market will be profitable.

Jumping into a new market blind is the worst mistake you can make for your business. Many aspiring webmasters fail because they jump into a new market based on their own reasoning. They also fail because they follow bad advice.



Locating profitable markets is easy to do because they are so abundant. There are literally millions of profitable niche markets to get involved in. 90% of those profitable markets are easy to dominate within a few weeks.

While it is easy to dominate (own a major share of traffic) most online markets it is not so easy to determine the projected profitability of one market over another, unless you have some specialized knowledge.

The goal of this report is to give you that specialized knowledge so that you can begin exploring and finding your next online venture. If you already have an online business then this will be a good way for you to explore new markets for the purpose of building your business.

In order to locate a profitable market you need to:

Locate sources of market ideas & uncover markets that have more action (competitors).

Determine which keywords have the highest PPC (Pay Per Click) cost within the vertical market.

Determine the estimated organic traffic that each of those keywords receive.

Multiply the PPC cost by the total traffic to get the estimated "wealth" of the market.

Now I will break each one of the points above down and show you why they matter.

Locate Sources of Market Ideas & Uncover Action Markets...
Market research is the difference between making pennies or making a fortune. If you are a beginner or are just looking to expand into new markets then you first have to seek a source of inspiration.

If you already have some ideas in your mind then you are one step ahead of this one. This is the first step if you have "no idea" where to start.

Use the following websites to find ideas for markets to explore:

The Yahoo Directory

Google Checkout

PayPal Stores

Ebay.com

Clickbank.com

Thomasnet.com

About.com

Amazon.com

You can visit any of the websites above and comb through their directories to find a market that looks interesting to you. Interest is all you need to move into the next step.

The websites above have years of experience that tell them what is most interesting to their visitors and how to categorize those interests into large groups & then break those groups down into niches or sub-markets.

Looking at the Yahoo Directory (for example) you can dig into any category and can quickly discover which sub-category has more listings. Each listing has the number of listing within the sub-category listed next to it.



Sub-categories with more listings are an indicator of wealth. In other words the more listings there are the more money there is to support those listings.

This leads us into a vital piece of information.

"The more listings there are in a sub-category, the more money there is in that market."

This is especially true in the Yahoo Directory because each listing is paying $299 per year (at the time of this writing) for a listing there. The theory holds that if there were not already an element of success then a business would not consider paying this fee.

While this is not true some of the time, the majority of the time it is. In essence the Yahoo directory is one indicator that you could use to find a sub-market or niche to explore further.

Used with other indicators you can quickly hone in on a market that has "action". Action is what you want but not just any action... You also need sales.

How can you determine if there is money in a market?
In order to see if there is money in a market you need to see how much is being paid on a Pay Per Click (PPC) basis on a broad snapshot of keywords in the market.

The more that is being paid by advertisers on a PPC basis, the wealthier the market is. What makes a market wealthy?

PAYING CUSTOMERS...

That's right, it is proven that the more that is being spent on advertising in a market, the more money that market is making from customers.

There are thousands and thousands of wealthy markets and niches online. Use the websites above to find them and then use tools to uncover 100 of the most popular keywords in the market you are exploring.

Wealthy markets are abundant. Now it is a simple matter of determining which market to focus on. Looking at PPC prices being paid across the most popular 100 keywords in a market is the first step in determining its wealth.

The next step is...

Determine how much traffic each keyword gets organically. Organic is another word for natural or free search engine listings. How much traffic does each of those 100 keywords get?

Once you get these numbers then for each keyword you multiply the estimated organic clicks per day by the estimated PPC cost that is paid for each keyword (on average). This will give you you an accurate ballpark figure to determine the wealth of one market over another.

How to calculate the wealth of a market...
Now that I have revealed how to determine the wealth of one market over another, I need to actually show you how to do it. Following are links to articles that will uncover this process step-by-step:

Estimating market profitability using free tools

Appraising a market before jumping in

Conclusion

There is a great abundance of wealthy markets, sub-markets (niches) online. In this report I have given you some easy ways to locate these markets and determine which ones are more wealthy than others.

I always inform my readers that "wealth" should not be the only factor that you use to make a choice of what to go after. You should also consider your INTEREST in that market.

If you have no interest in a market other than the prospect of tapping its wealth then you are headed for trouble. It is extremely hard to dominate a market that you find boring. If you are bored you won't do well because you will try to cut corners. When you cut corners it shines through to your visitors. Your visitors will always seek authority. If you are bored then your visitors will quickly find somewhere else to go. This is a fact.

Seek a market based on Interest and then wealth. The more interested you are, the more ideas you will have and the better content you will produce. You will engage your visitors and they will buy from you.

Seek your passions...

Many beginners struggle to find a place to start. While the tools and methods outlined in this report are a great way to find wealthy markets you still need to figure out what interests you.
