Because I had the attitude that most marketers are told today. Do nothing and make money on the internet. When I woke up
and could "smell the coffee" I realized that I wanted to be a
SUCCESSFUL INTERNET MARKETER. So ...
It was time to get to WORK.
- Re-wording ads so they stood out from everyone else's was at the top of the list. (Why should I buy from you instead of your competitor?)
- Setting up this web site and trying to keep it updated with interesting and helpful information is also a plus, you learn from your research.
- Staying in contact with downlines members (Without spamming them) is very important. If they don't make money-neither do you!
I have a marketing plan and follow it - advertise
every where you think it will pay off. Ad tracking is vital so as
to see what is working and where.
In closing - "What's in it for me"? Exactly what I decide it to be. MY OWN BUSINESS that I CONTROLL.
What will be in it for you?
If you KNOW you want to be successful and you know you
have to spend time and some money to get there - contact me -
I'll do my best to see that we succeed together.

5 Warning Signs of a Scam Business
 |
by: Sandra Stammberger
|
For years now the rush has been on to mine the Internet and find "gold." Just like miners in the old U.S. west, people flock to
the Web hoping to strike it rich. Is it possible? Sure it is! However, those miners of old had to watch out for "fool's gold." You - in the days of the Internet - have to watch out for scam businesses.
Most scam business offers have five things in common. Before you decide to invest your hard-earned money in an Internet business, be sure to compare the offer to this list. The following warning signs might very well help you avoid a financial disaster!
1) No Contact Information or Limited Contact Information - Most scam artists don't want you to be able to locate them easily.
After all, if you could find them easily, so could the authorities. That's why they often only give an email address (usually from a free provider like Yahoo or Hotmail) and/or a post office box. On the other hand, reputable companies DO want you to be able to contact them quickly and easily. They'll offer several ways... telephone, physical address, email, fax, etc.
2) No Verifiable References or Testimonials - Notice I said, "verifiable." Anyone can make up references or testimonials that
would make you think a business opportunity is wonderful. But
can you verify them? Do they list Web site addresses or email addresses for the people who supposedly gave the testimonials? Is there a way to contact the satisfied customers? If not... if you only see a reference ending with "John D. - California" - beware.
3) Phony Association Information - Many times, we take for
granted the fact that someone offering a business opportunity is
a legitimate company just because a Better Business Bureau or
iCop logo is posted on the company's Web site. Not true! These
logos can be simply copied and pasted onto the scam artist's
site. There is a way to verify whether the company is a
legitimate member. Click the logo. If it goes to a profile of
the company (on the BBB or iCop site), you'll know this company
is an authentic member of the association.
4) "Make Thousands With No Work On Your Part" - This is the biggest lie on the Internet today. Everyone loves the idea of
making thousands of dollars while they sleep. Is it possible? Yes! That part isn't a lie. The statement that it will take no work on your part is the lie. Even if the company gives you a free Web site, free products to sell for 100% profit, and a free shopping cart, you still have to work - and work hard! How will people find your new Web site? You'll have to market it. That takes a LOT of work in and of itself. Beware when people tell you that their business opportunities take no effort from you.
5) Rushing You To Make A Decision - I'm not talking about the product sites that offer special discounts if you buy before a
specific date. I'm talking about the business opportunity companies that - instead of answering your questions - pressure you to go ahead and buy in. I advise you not to trust anyone who is unwilling to give you the information you need to make a qualified decision. I can almost promise a scam is involved if that is the case.
The bottom line is this: Any company offering legitimate business opportunities will want to talk with you, will want to give you
all the information you need, will not give a false appearance of
credibility, will help you work through the financial aspects of
joining the company, and will have verifiable references that you
can contact. Beware of anyone who does not offer these things.
By keeping your eyes open for the five warning signs listed
above, you can save a lot of trouble and money.
