You ask&lt;br /&gt;a large number of e-zine owners to give away the&lt;br /&gt;ebook in exchange for their ad in the ebook. You can&lt;br /&gt;just ask them to link directly to your web site when&lt;br /&gt;they promote the ebook. You, of course, will have&lt;br /&gt;one of your own ads on that web page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Let's say you get 8 out of 20 e-zine owners that agree&lt;br /&gt;to giveaway the ebook. The 8 e-zines total subscriber&lt;br /&gt;base is 75,000.&lt;br /&gt;Now, you can ask more e-zine owners if they would&lt;br /&gt;like to promote the ebook in exchange for an ad inside&lt;br /&gt;the ebook. This time you can say, you already have 8&lt;br /&gt;e-zines already promoting the ebook with a subscriber&lt;br /&gt;base of 75,000.&lt;br /&gt;The next group of e-zine owners you ask will be more&lt;br /&gt;tempted to promote your ebook because there is a&lt;br /&gt;greater chance they will receive a lot of traffic from&lt;br /&gt;the deal. It's win/win situation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Do you understand the power of perpetual marketing?&lt;br /&gt;You could have 20 or 30 e-zines promoting your web&lt;br /&gt;site at no-cost, very quickly! You could create a new,&lt;br /&gt;free ebook every month and repeat the process.&lt;br /&gt;This isn't the only way to use perpetual marketing.&lt;br /&gt;You don't just have to contact e-zine publishers you&lt;br /&gt;could do the same with web site owners. You could&lt;br /&gt;use a total monthly visitor total as motivation.&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't have to be just an ebook either. It could be&lt;br /&gt;a contest you're holding on your web site. You could&lt;br /&gt;place the other web site's ads on the contest page in&lt;br /&gt;exchange for them promoting the contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   These are only a few ways to use perpetual marketing.&lt;br /&gt;You could use your own imagination to create new&lt;br /&gt;ways to use perpetual marketing that will increase your&lt;br /&gt;traffic and sales.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-114775010434410324?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/114775010434410324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=114775010434410324' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/114775010434410324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/114775010434410324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2006/05/unleash-power-of-perpetual-marketing.html' title='Unleash The Power Of Perpetual Marketing'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-114195789580099992</id><published>2006-03-09T18:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-09T18:31:35.813-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Here's a great way to jumpstart your business</title><content type='html'>Here's another great "bargain" I think you'll&lt;br /&gt;enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim Knox has just created a 10 minute video tour&lt;br /&gt;that I think will get you excited about having&lt;br /&gt;your own "Daves Cool Little Website."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?JkXUKIKGpju_gVp21rE6uw"&gt;http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?JkXUKIKGpju_gVp21rE6uw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get your very own profit pulling Daves Cool Little&lt;br /&gt;Website simply visit the link below...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.endlessopps.com/davescoolweb.html"&gt;http://www.endlessopps.com/davescoolweb.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like a great deal for the money.

The Internet offers&lt;br /&gt;everything you could ever want. In fact, it offers&lt;br /&gt;about 50 different versions of everything you&lt;br /&gt;want. The problem is, not you or anyone else&lt;br /&gt;on the planet has time to sort through all the&lt;br /&gt;offers for the best one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  That is the beauty of ClickBank storefront&lt;br /&gt;websites. ClickBank offers over 11,400 of the&lt;br /&gt;Internet's best, most in-demand electronically&lt;br /&gt;deliverable products. But don't be overwhelmed&lt;br /&gt;by the sheer number of products and&lt;br /&gt;opportunities ClickBank offers. Everything is&lt;br /&gt;appropriately categorized, making it easy to find&lt;br /&gt;the products and opportunities you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But not all ClickBank storefronts are created equal.&lt;br /&gt;These storefronts are run by affiliates, and most&lt;br /&gt;of their parent companies only allow them to sell&lt;br /&gt;about 20% of the products and services&lt;br /&gt;Clickbank offers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If you want to find the most extensive selection&lt;br /&gt;of products, visit a site like :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.endlessopps.com/1stpromotion.html"&gt;1stPromotion.com&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1st Promotion is the only ClickBank Storefront&lt;br /&gt;to offer the full line of ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace&lt;br /&gt;products, so if you want access to the best&lt;br /&gt;selection, that is the place to visit. With the&lt;br /&gt;vastness of the Internet expanding every&lt;br /&gt;minute of every day, 1st Promotion strives&lt;br /&gt;to continuously make shopping at their&lt;br /&gt;ClickBank Storefronts as enjoyable as possible.&lt;br /&gt;Their marketplace includes an extensive&lt;br /&gt;selection of shopping categories, such as&lt;br /&gt;Business-to-Business, Computer and Internet,&lt;br /&gt;Fun and Entertainment, Health and Fitness,&lt;br /&gt;Home and Family, Marketing and Advertising,&lt;br /&gt;Money and Employment, Society and Culture,&lt;br /&gt;and Sports and Recreation. Also, if you are&lt;br /&gt;interested in owning your own Internet business,&lt;br /&gt;becoming a 1st Promotion affiliate offers top&lt;br /&gt;commissions on over 11,400 ClickBank products,&lt;br /&gt;and more benefits than all the other ClickBank&lt;br /&gt;Storefronts combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  1stPromotion has also just announced the&lt;br /&gt;industry's first search box plug-in which duplicates&lt;br /&gt;the abilities of the search box located on the&lt;br /&gt;Pro Storefront, and allows webmasters to very&lt;br /&gt;simply integrate this capability right into their&lt;br /&gt;other existing web sites. This unleashes virtually&lt;br /&gt;undiscovered streams of revenue for many of&lt;br /&gt;1stPromotion's members.  Either way, next time&lt;br /&gt;you decide to do a little Internet shopping,&lt;br /&gt;use a 1st Promotion ClickBank site and you'll&lt;br /&gt;findexactly what you're looking for in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Want to own your own ClickBank Storefront and&lt;br /&gt;earn commissions of over 11,400 of the Internet's&lt;br /&gt;most in-demand products?&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.endlessopps.com/1stpromotion.html"&gt;1stPromotion.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and find out how.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-112839137235242191?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/112839137235242191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=112839137235242191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/112839137235242191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/112839137235242191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/10/how-to-find-best-products-on-internet.html' title='How To Find The Best Products On The Internet'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-112706670524795843</id><published>2005-09-18T11:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-01-19T16:25:28.750-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Opening The Doors To Niche Markets</title><content type='html'>I think you'll be interested in a new niche information&lt;br /&gt;product package just released a few days ago - with a total&lt;br /&gt;of 35 fresh professionally formatted ebooks and compact&lt;br /&gt;discs - all with full resale rights and ready made webpages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can offer these top shelf products on the "front-end"&lt;br /&gt;to tap millions of hungry consumers in these areas of major&lt;br /&gt;public interest?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=&gt;

My heart goes out to these people and I pray&lt;br /&gt;they get the assitance they need as fast as humanly possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes me sick are the emails I have been receiving over&lt;br /&gt;the past few days from people "claiming" to help. Maybe they&lt;br /&gt;are sincere maybe not. I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Case #1 - A Scumbag Marketer&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;One marketer sent out information about how you can help. I&lt;br /&gt;clicked on the link because I want to help out as much as I&lt;br /&gt;possibly can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what made me sick to my stomach...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had the nerve to actually require you to enter your name&lt;br /&gt;and email address into an optin box in order to get the info!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a marketing SCUMBAG! I normally don't talk like this, but&lt;br /&gt;this one really got on my nerves. Why not just give the info?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this guy really that bad off that he has to profit&lt;br /&gt;from these poor people? That's about as low as it gets!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Case #2 - Buy My Crap and I'll Donate (I don't think so)&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;I am certainly not going to buy anyone's stuff and HOPE that my&lt;br /&gt;money goes to these people. Think about it, it first has to go&lt;br /&gt;to this person and then they have to take out their supposed&lt;br /&gt;costs and then, MAYBE, they'll forward they money on to a worthy&lt;br /&gt;charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I DON'T THINK SO!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is this person thinking? Hmmmm... if I use this DISASTER&lt;br /&gt;which has left thousand of people HOMELESS... I can get my&lt;br /&gt;product into the hands of more people... YOU IDIOT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again... another person who seems to be high on crack!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to by a product, then buy a product. If you want&lt;br /&gt;to donate, then donate directly to the source. PERIOD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't have to buy a product in order to donate your&lt;br /&gt;money to worthy charity or organization. Just do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me make my stance PERFECTLY CLEAR!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU DON'T PROFIT FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S MISFORTUNES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people are devastated, they lost their jobs, their homes,&lt;br /&gt;some lost their loved one's lives, or maybe even their own life&lt;br /&gt;due this major catastrophe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How dare these people try to profit from this distaster!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge you to NOT support these SCUMBAGS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;If You Want To Help The Hurricane Efforts&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's two links to legitimate organizations&lt;br /&gt;to donate your&lt;br /&gt;money to if you want to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FEMA - &lt;a href="http://www.fema.gov"&gt;http://www.fema.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red Cross - &lt;a href="http://www.redcross.org"&gt;http://www.redcross.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to pass this message on to someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take my name off of it... I don't care. I just want to make&lt;br /&gt;sure your kindness goes in the right direction and you are not&lt;br /&gt;putting faith in people who are trying to profit from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help someone and donate what you can today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Quaglia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-112561651773389922?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/112561651773389922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=112561651773389922' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/112561651773389922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/112561651773389922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/09/it-makes-me-sickhurricane-katrina-info.html' title='It makes me sick.....Hurricane Katrina Info'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-111923865897279241</id><published>2005-06-19T20:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-19T20:37:38.976-07:00</updated><title type='text'>24 Killer Press Release Secrets</title><content type='html'>1.

People love to get free stuff. A free eBook is&lt;br /&gt;perfect. They will visit your web site to get the&lt;br /&gt;free valuable information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Give away the full version of your eBook in&lt;br /&gt;exchange for testimonials. You can use these&lt;br /&gt;customer statements to improve your ads'&lt;br /&gt;effectiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. When you write and give away a free eBook&lt;br /&gt;you will become known as an expert. This will&lt;br /&gt;gain people's trust and they will buy your main&lt;br /&gt;product or service quicker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Publish your web site in eBook format. Put the&lt;br /&gt;eBook on a disk or CD-ROM then include it&lt;br /&gt;with your direct mail packages. This can increase&lt;br /&gt;the number of people that buy your product or&lt;br /&gt;service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Offer your eBook as a free bonus for buying&lt;br /&gt;one of your main products or services. People&lt;br /&gt;will buy the product or service more often when&lt;br /&gt;you offer a free bonus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Allow people to download your eBook for&lt;br /&gt;free, if they give the e-mail addresses of 3 to 5&lt;br /&gt;friends or associates that would be interested in&lt;br /&gt;your eBook. This will quickly build your e-mail&lt;br /&gt;list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Create a directory of web sites in eBook form.&lt;br /&gt;List peoples web sites in the directory that will&lt;br /&gt;agree to advertise the eBook on their web site or&lt;br /&gt;e-zine. This will give them an incentive to give&lt;br /&gt;away or advertise your eBook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Allow other people to give away your free&lt;br /&gt;eBook. This will increase the number of people&lt;br /&gt;that will see your ad in the eBook. You could&lt;br /&gt;also include a mini catalog of all your product or&lt;br /&gt;services that you offer in the eBook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Gain new leads by having people sign up and&lt;br /&gt;give you their contact information before they can&lt;br /&gt;download your eBook. This is a very effective&lt;br /&gt;way to conduct market research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Make money selling advertising space in your&lt;br /&gt;eBook. You could charge for full page color ads,&lt;br /&gt;classified ads or banners ads. You could also&lt;br /&gt;trade advertising space in your eBook for other&lt;br /&gt;forms of advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Give away the eBook as a gift to your current&lt;br /&gt;customers as a way of letting them know you&lt;br /&gt;appreciate their business. Place an ad in the eBook&lt;br /&gt;for a new back end product you're offering&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Get free advertising by submitting your eBook&lt;br /&gt;to freebie and freeware/shareware web sites. This&lt;br /&gt;will increase the number of people that will down-&lt;br /&gt;load your eBook and see your ad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Make money by selling the reprint rights to&lt;br /&gt;those that would like to sell the eBook. You could&lt;br /&gt;also make even more money by selling the master&lt;br /&gt;rights. This would allow other people to sell the&lt;br /&gt;reprint rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Hold a contest on your web site so people&lt;br /&gt;can win your eBook. You'll get free advertising&lt;br /&gt;by submitting your contest ad to free contest or&lt;br /&gt;sweepstakes directories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. You will gain valuable referrals from people&lt;br /&gt;telling others about your eBook. Word of mouth&lt;br /&gt;advertising can be very effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Make money cross promoting your eBook&lt;br /&gt;with other people's products or services. This&lt;br /&gt;technique will double your marketing effort with-&lt;br /&gt;out spending more time and money on your part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Increase your e-zine subscribers by giving&lt;br /&gt;away your eBook to people that subscribe to&lt;br /&gt;your e-zine. This will give people an incentive to&lt;br /&gt;subscribe. Allow your e-zine subscribers to also&lt;br /&gt;give it away to multiply your subscribers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. Give away the eBook to people that join your&lt;br /&gt;affiliate program. This will increase the number of&lt;br /&gt;people that sign-up. You could also create an&lt;br /&gt;eBook for them to use that will help them promote&lt;br /&gt;your product or service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Give away the eBook in exchange for people&lt;br /&gt;leaving their contact information. This will help you&lt;br /&gt;follow-up with the prospects who buy your main&lt;br /&gt;product or service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Offer a free eBook that contains a couple&lt;br /&gt;of sample chapters. If they like it, give them the&lt;br /&gt;option of ordering the full version. It would work&lt;br /&gt;just like a software demo or shareware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ron Quaglia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.endlessopps.com"&gt;www.endlessopps.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-111803145505180936?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/111803145505180936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=111803145505180936' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111803145505180936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111803145505180936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/06/using-ebooks-to-increase-your-traffic.html' title='Using eBooks To Increase Your Traffic and Sales'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-111798162282983296</id><published>2005-06-05T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-05T07:27:02.830-07:00</updated><title type='text'>10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales</title><content type='html'>1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the&lt;br /&gt;customer. You could follow-up with a "thank you"&lt;br /&gt;email and include an advertisement for other products&lt;br /&gt;you sell. You could follow-up every few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. You could upsell to your customers. When they're&lt;br /&gt;at your order page, tell them about a few extra related&lt;br /&gt;products you have for sale. They could just add it to&lt;br /&gt;their original order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to&lt;br /&gt;your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their&lt;br /&gt;purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. When you sell a product, give your customers the&lt;br /&gt;option of joining an affiliate program so they can make&lt;br /&gt;commissions selling your product. This will multiply&lt;br /&gt;the sale you just made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products.&lt;br /&gt;You could include an ad on or with the product for&lt;br /&gt;other products you sell. You could make sales for the&lt;br /&gt;reproduction rights and sales on the back end product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. You could cross promote your product with other&lt;br /&gt;businesses' products in a package deal. You can&lt;br /&gt;include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and&lt;br /&gt;have other businesses selling for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include&lt;br /&gt;a coupon for other related products you sell in the&lt;br /&gt;package. This will attract them to buy more products&lt;br /&gt;from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products&lt;br /&gt;for the original product they purchased. This could be&lt;br /&gt;upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they&lt;br /&gt;enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make&lt;br /&gt;sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when&lt;br /&gt;the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other&lt;br /&gt;items from your web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Send your customers free products with their&lt;br /&gt;product package. The freebies should have your ad&lt;br /&gt;printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball&lt;br /&gt;caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see&lt;br /&gt;your ad and order.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-111798162282983296?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/111798162282983296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=111798162282983296' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111798162282983296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111798162282983296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/06/10-killer-ways-to-multiply-your-sales.html' title='10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-111586173317428905</id><published>2005-05-11T18:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-02T21:05:17.366-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Adding Trackback to your Blogger Blog</title><content type='html'>If you're looking to add the "trackback" feature&lt;br /&gt;to your Blogger.com Blog I found one&lt;br /&gt;at &lt;a href="http://www.haloscan.com"&gt;Haloscan.com&lt;/a&gt; that is not only&lt;br /&gt;easy to use but there's an&lt;br /&gt;"auto-add" feature that adds&lt;br /&gt;it to your blog automatically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out.

Here's one of them.&lt;br /&gt;If you happen to visit his newsletter make sure you check&lt;br /&gt;out his views on Mike Chens "Secret Weapon". I think he &lt;br /&gt;hit the nail right on the head.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;========================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Avoid &lt;br&gt;the "Richard Harris Syndrome"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Michael Hopkins&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's almost inevitable when working on your online &lt;br /&gt;business that distractions will keep coming at &lt;br /&gt;you from all sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How often have you started a specific task only to find&lt;br /&gt;yourself following some link that leads to another&lt;br /&gt;link and then another..?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you know it, you've spent two hours surfing&lt;br /&gt;around and the task you set out to complete&lt;br /&gt;hasn't advanced at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like to call this the "Richard Harris Syndrome"&lt;br /&gt;after the celebrated Irish actor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harris was a party animal in the extreme.&lt;br /&gt;His wife once explained that he would often pop out&lt;br /&gt;to the corner shop to pick up a packet of cigarettes&lt;br /&gt;only to disappear for 3 weeks on a massive "bender".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see the parallel here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how do you avoid going off on those&lt;br /&gt;e-business benders? How do you keep your focus on &lt;br /&gt;the task in hand and keep on top of the total &lt;br /&gt;information overload that we all encounter daily?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few tips that will help you with that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Set short, medium and long term goals for &lt;br /&gt;your business. The long term goals will help you &lt;br /&gt;determine where you want your business to be in, &lt;br /&gt;for example, one years time. Set short and medium&lt;br /&gt;term goals for today, tomorrow, this week and this &lt;br /&gt;month that will help you reach your long term goals.&lt;br /&gt;Consider creating a timetable of activities for the&lt;br /&gt;week and then stick to the timetable. The timetable&lt;br /&gt;might contain things like 'deal with email',&lt;br /&gt;'develop a JV', 'study a marketing technique',&lt;br /&gt;'work on bringing in traffic'. Allow a reasonable &lt;br /&gt;length of time for each task and, once the time has&lt;br /&gt;elapsed, move on.&lt;br /&gt;It's important to be realistic when determining &lt;br /&gt;how long any given task will take. Read this article&lt;br /&gt;for some good tips on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Create a 'To Do' file that lists the specific&lt;br /&gt;things you need to get done in order to achieve&lt;br /&gt;the goals you've set above. This can be a simple&lt;br /&gt;text list.&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, create a 'to read' folder containing&lt;br /&gt;those ebooks you haven't got around to studying.&lt;br /&gt;You might consider putting Quick Launch buttons &lt;br /&gt;to these files and folders (as well as those programs&lt;br /&gt;you use all the time) on your Windows Launch Bar. &lt;br /&gt;For details on how to do this, see here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Create a 'To look at' folder in your &lt;br /&gt;Favorites/Bookmarks. By creating a folder like this,&lt;br /&gt;you'll avoid spending all that time browsing around&lt;br /&gt;to sites you don't need to see right now while, at &lt;br /&gt;the same time, keeping them somewhere convenient &lt;br /&gt;for you to study later. (Once you've studied them,&lt;br /&gt;don't forget to delete them from the list).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; If you're working on something and making little&lt;br /&gt;or no progress, then do something else for a while&lt;br /&gt;or take a break. Keep it in the back of your mind &lt;br /&gt;and note down ideas that may occur in the meantime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Use your Favorites/Bookmarks to organize all the&lt;br /&gt;sites you access regularly for your business:&lt;br /&gt;membership site login pages, affiliate &lt;br /&gt;program login pages,&lt;br /&gt;web hosting admins, download pages, useful sites,&lt;br /&gt;and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Don't waste days (weeks?) trying to do technical&lt;br /&gt;stuff that's beyond your ability. If you need to,&lt;br /&gt;for example, install a script or add some advanced&lt;br /&gt;functionality to your website, just run a project &lt;br /&gt;on one of the many freelance sites&lt;br /&gt;(like Scriptlance.com). In many cases you'll &lt;br /&gt;get it done within the hour for&lt;br /&gt;a few dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Keep copies of your answers to those &lt;br /&gt;questions you receive often from your &lt;br /&gt;visitors/customers. Rather than typing out&lt;br /&gt;the full reply each time, just copy/paste&lt;br /&gt;the answer. For quick access, I keep my &lt;br /&gt;ready-to-go answers in my 'Drafts' folder&lt;br /&gt;in Outlook Express.&lt;br /&gt;Also, aim to reduce your email workload &lt;br /&gt;by adding FAQs to your website. &lt;br /&gt;Encourage people to visit the FAQ &lt;br /&gt;before contacting you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Use rules to organize your incoming email. &lt;br /&gt;Have your favorite newsletters go to one folder,&lt;br /&gt;your customer questions to another, an so on. This &lt;br /&gt;will help you be more efficient in dealing with your&lt;br /&gt;email and will help eliminate inbox clutter. Learn &lt;br /&gt;about setting up rules in Outlook Express here.&lt;br /&gt;Also, set a time (or times) to check your email &lt;br /&gt;each day. Don't keep checking it every ten minutes&lt;br /&gt;as this will just distract you from the tasks on hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; Avoid procrastination like it's your worst enemy.&lt;br /&gt;If you have a tendency to put things off rather than&lt;br /&gt;tackle them right now, you may find this article helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, those are just a few ideas that you may find &lt;br /&gt;useful in helping you deal with e-business overload.&lt;br /&gt;The important thing now is to put at least some &lt;br /&gt;of them into action today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Hopkins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bizzydays.com/x.cgi?a=r&amp;id=1&amp;aid=162&amp;p=3&amp;h=1"&gt;BizzyDays.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bizzydays.com/x.cgi?a=r&amp;id=1&amp;aid=162&amp;p=1&amp;h=1"&gt;Dynamic-Popup-Generator.com&lt;/a&gt; NEW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bizzydays.com/x.cgi?a=r&amp;id=1&amp;aid=162&amp;p=3&amp;h=1"&gt;TotalResale.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bizzydays.com/x.cgi?a=r&amp;id=1&amp;aid=162&amp;p=2&amp;h=1"&gt;Selfpublishing-Ebooks.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-111192097021511829?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/111192097021511829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=111192097021511829' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111192097021511829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111192097021511829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/03/how-to-avoid-richard-harris-syndrome.html' title='How to Avoid the &quot;Richard Harris Syndrome&quot;'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11590819.post-111138843962753513</id><published>2005-03-20T22:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-20T23:06:40.516-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Are You A Watcher Or A Reader?</title><content type='html'>If you're like me , I've found that I learn&lt;br /&gt;new things much easier by watching (a video)&lt;br /&gt;than by reading.

You need to focus on some or all of the following questions in addition to any others you may have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What is my financial budget?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What am I going to sell?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. What am I trying to accomplish with my business or your mission statement?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. How will I interact with my customers and vice-versa?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What are my methods of product delivery?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. How will I accept payment?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Will I have any employees or am I running this business solo?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. How much time can I realistically spend on my business a day, week, month?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Will I sell my products only from my website or from other online shops as well, online only, online and offline, offline only?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few. You probably have others not listed here. Based on your answers to the FIRST 6 questions in the list above or your own variation of something similar, those answers will effect the steps that follow. Because if you are selling digital products you don't want a website that screams sewing supplies!! And if your delivering your products digitally, you certainly don't want to charge shipping and handling charges!This is why KNOWING what you're business is about beforehand is so important to building it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11590819-111138504218681841?l=endlessopps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/feeds/111138504218681841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11590819&amp;postID=111138504218681841' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111138504218681841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11590819/posts/default/111138504218681841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endlessopps.blogspot.com/2005/03/finding-your-focus.html' title='Finding Your Focus'/><author><name>Ron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049935511709661233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
