This is Hilarious…don’t miss it!  Great post from the Warrior Forum By Sven Schoene

You know you’re an Internet marketer, when…

…you have to help your 11-year old son to write an essay about Abraham Lincoln for school and it ends up sounding like a sales-letter selling Abraham Lincoln.

…when you move out of your house you post a WSO to get rid of your old couch you don’t want to take with you.

…you give Google AdWord-coupons as a gift to your wife at christmas.

…you have the WarriorForum as your browser’s start-page.

…you are disappointed every time you buy at Walmart that you don’t get a free bonus together with your purchase.

…you’re best friend is asking you to help him finding a buyer for his old PC, you ask him for the affiliate link.

…instead of using Google you use the Google Keyword Research tool.

…you try to put AdSense on your Facebook-page.

…your friends have forbidden you from emailing them because you include affiliate links in your personals emails.

…you know more names of famous Internet marketers than politicians.

…you would rather spend money on good advertising than a great holiday with your family.

…you feel like people are stupid every time someone asks what you’re doing for a living.

…you speak to your friends so that your sentences contain a high keyword-density for your main niche.

…everytime someone says to you “I’m interested in xxx” you answer by “Well, this isn’t a profitable niche.”

…your wife is mad at you because everytime you come up with a new idea for a product you instantly register ten domain-names.

…you plan your holiday like a product launch.

…you treat your friends like your email-list.

…you ask everybody you meet for their first name and email address.

…you value people by the size of their list.

…your wife gets angry at you for not helping around the house you just reply “Honey, just try to outsource it.”

…you always look for a hidden membership-program every time a friend offers you help for free.

Building Websites

June 25, 2009 // Posted in Blog, make money online (Tags: , ) |  No Comments

Since I am in Internet Marketing I have learned to do a lot of things to maintain a website and sell products.  There are many software tools which are very useful and necessary.

One of the first things I acquired was an autoresponder, which is a service which you set up to send automated email messages to your list.  I soon learned how to create different lists.  I created web forms, and transferred the HTML code to my website where people sign up.  Then I also redirect the list to the specified download page or confirmation page, where my customers receive their products or services acquired.  I use Aweber for my autoresponder, which is very highly recommended.

I also learned how to create and edit web pages with an HTML editor.  The HTML editor is the software that allows you to make changes on the templates to create websites.  You make changes by editing with the visual editor as well as changing the HTML code with the code editor.  Some knowledge of HTML is very helpful, so I also educated myself in HTML code.

I learned how to use an FTP program, to put my web pages on the Internet.  When you buy a domain, your host company gives you a username and password.  You use this to load your domains to your FTP program and then you are able to upload your websites under your different domain names.

All this was a whole education in itself.  Since it was necessary for me to create my own websites, I took a course which taught me step by step how to do all this.  I learned all the techie stuff.  Many times I got stuck.  I had to learn how to upload files and folders in the right manner and follow the paths in order to link my products up correctly.  This was the most difficult part for me.

It is really necessary to learn how to make your own websites if you are an Internet marketer.  However, if the techie stuff is too hard for you, there is a piece of software that builds your websites very easily, no hard work involved.  It even has a function to FTP your websites as well.  So this whole process is solved with this incredible software.  This is really a great answer if you don’t think you can deal with all the techie hard stuff.  Click here to check it out…

Excerpt from Outsource Weekly

June 17, 2009 // Posted in excerpt, make money online (Tags: , , , ) |  No Comments

There is a lot to running an online business.  Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming and we really need to ask for help.  We can’t do everything there is to do to run out business successfully.

Most successful entrepreneurs outsource.  They hire people to help them with ongoing tasks.  But there are also free ways to get this type of help.

I wasn’t aware of this either until I checked out Outsource Weekly from Jimmy D. Brown and Nicole Dean.

If you have not had a chance to check it out, here is an excerpt:

After you read this excerpt, be sure to check out the full course. They pretty much cover all aspects of an online business – what the task is, if you need to do it for YOUR type of business, if it can be automated instead of outsourced, and, if you do need to outsource it, who to go to.

Outsource Weekly Excerpt

by Nicole Dean

If there was one thing I’d go back and outsource sooner, it would be my customer support and my email.

Why? For a number of reasons…

Benefit #1: It takes a LOT less time now than I ever spent.

I’ve never been accused of being aloof, so I’ll tell you like it is.

This is embarrassing, but oh well.

I have “shiny object syndrome”. In fact, I think that most internet marketers have a bit of ADD where any shiny object pulls your attention away from the thing that you’re doing.

Emails, instant messenger, a new product that’s launching that everyone’s talking about, a cool website, phone, twitter, “ooh a new friend found me on facebook…” etc.

“What was I working on again?”

When I was answering my own emails, I’d run off to investigate the answers or find out more about the topic, click through on the links that were sent to me, or just plain old get sidetracked and head off to work on more pressing matters.

I’d get shiny object syndrome and spend an hour answering an email and come back and go “oops, I never responded” because I’d run off in 100 different directions between opening the email and hitting send.

So, when I finally outsourced my emails, I was quite embarrassed to see that the virtual assistants were only spending 15 minutes/day on something that was taking me a lot more time.

Benefit #2: It keeps me more positive.

You know the story. You get one crabby person who is just downright mean, for no reason at all. Well, some people can let that roll off their backs, but, when it’s your business that they’re talking about, it can feel awfully personal in a hurry.

My poor hubby had to dry some tears after one particularly horrid woman came after me, repeatedly being mean. And, she wasn’t even a customer! ((shudder))

Benefit #3: You’re Going to Have to Do It Eventually. The Sooner you Do It, the Easier the Transition Is.

Anyway, I’d held off outsourcing my emails for a long time, because I couldn’t believe that anyone would take as good of care of my customers, loyal readers, and JV requests as I possibly could.

That was until I realized that Bill Gates doesn’t answer customer questions.

Hmmm…

So, in essence, I was again punishing myself for success. The BIGGER my business grew, the more emails I’d get – the more miserable I was and the more I was stuck on my bottom, working many more hours than I’d cared to.

Success had again become a punishment for me.

This course is the perfect starting point for any beginner. You see, Nicole & Jimmy have this thing called “integrity” that has caused Nicole to pour a lot more into this course than she ever imagined. When interviewed recently, she stated “I can not teach people how to Outsource a task until they understand 1. if they need to be doing it, and 2. how it should be done effectively. Otherwise, they’re just throwing money away.”
