5 Steps to Massive Profits - A Business Marketing Tip

5 Steps to Massive Profits - A Business Marketing Tip
by: Steve Majors

Here's a business marketing tip to gain maximum profit from
any product or service in your business marketing lineup,
and how you will gain extreme profits when you follow these
5 simple, LAZY steps;

1. Look not at what you are offering through your business
marketing efforts - look at WHO WILL BUY your
product/service. Make a picture of your 'typical buyer' -
who they are, their age, what they like to do, etc.

This is often known as the 'target market prospect', yet,
the more detailed you define this 'target' in your business
marketing, the better.

I've even gone to the point of giving this 'target market'
person a name and put a picture up on my computer monitor
(find a 'friendly face' on the Internet somewhere and 'tag'
it as your target market prospect) - get your business
marketing centered around every aspect of your target - the
more you know them, the easier it is to chat about what they
need.

2. Develop a list of your target market prospect's likes and
dislikes as it would relate to a product/service similar to
yours. (You'll get a 'third party' look at your competition,
as well as some inside looks at their business marketing
efforts.)

Consider some questions they would have, or some typical
objections to buying this similar product/service (this may
come from your previous research, or you may have to simply
do some).

One way to personalize the business marketing research of
your 'target market prospect' is to 'role play' - think
about your prospect as a good friend that you are having a
picnic with (or even a co-worker at the water cooler, etc.)
and in passing, your friend brings up that 'similar'
product/service.

What do they say about it?

What are their questions/concerns?

Is there a 'running joke' about the competition's
product/service that defines a hole in their business
marketing? (i.e., "Did you hear about the lady that used
X?")

All these things need to be addressed, and documented.

Let your mind be creative and wander, but keep it to a time
limit - about 15-20 minutes per business marketing 'play'
session. Think of nothing but this 'conversation' during
this creative (often fun) time.

It might even be helpful for you to say everything that
comes to mind out loud during these business marketing
planning sessions(as silly as that sounds, it works...) and
record it, as some of the best business marketing ideas get
overlooked when you are trying to write them down quickly.

Listening back for those 'nuggets' might even trigger other
'bits of business marketing gold' for you to work with.

3. Figure out how your product/service and business
marketing plan is similar, yet different than the
competition. Just how does your solution overcome all the
questions, concerns and yes, even 'jokes' from your target?

If you can't answer these questions for yourself, how would
you expect to answer them from your prospect?

The beautiful part about this business marketing exercise is
that, if you go through it with commitment, you will already
know the answers to the prospect's questions BEFORE they ask
them - which quickly eliminates any fears you might have
about talking with them.

4. Continue this simple exercise - every couple days for a
week or so. Giving 15-20 minutes of serious thought to your
business marketing plan and role playing every couple days
will stimulate your conscious mind, as well as keep your
unconscious mind actively thinking about it.

You'll be surprised at the outcome of taking these steps
seriously.

But be forewarned - you will very likely have a very
different outlook about your prospect after one week of this
simple, yet extremely effective business marketing, 'target
market' finding tool!

You will know them as well as you know yourself, so you will
be able to talk with them about things quickly, simply and
with the best, consistent results of your business marketing
efforts.

5. Now, take a look at your product/service and business
marketing plan - through the prospect's eyes (now that you
can clearly see through them...)

Does it fit your prospect's needs?

Does it answer their questions and eliminate their fears?

Is it priced right for your target prospect?

Is there a market for your product/service other than your
personalized target market prospect? (This step is vital as
a 'reality check" - and one that many business marketing
planners miss)

When you follow these five steps faithfully, you will have
credibility, knowledge and successful long-term
relationships with your customers (who used to be simply
'target market prospects' before you understood the power of
this business marketing tip!).

Avoiding Home Business Failures

Avoiding Home Business Failures
by: Srinivasan R.G.


It’s been said that 80% of all small business dies within the first 3 years. And the rest are somehow struggling along with meager revenues. Only a handful is successful. Home based business has an even shorter lifespan. Every enthusiastic home based venture starts out with a big promise, a lot of excitement and enthusiasm.

However at the first signs of trouble or a slow take off the people become panicky. Having been accustomed to regular pay check, when the money does not roll in week after week and the bank balance hits the low digits, there is a sense of panic and the exciting home business gets trashed.

My own experience tells me this happens just when you are through with organizing, setting up and the difficult transition period of reaching out to the customers, you decide to wind up the business in favor of a job.

Now here are a few tips to persevere and make a success of your home business.

Plan in advance your finances for running your family for a minimum period of 6 months.

Plan every aspect of your business – right from creating the product to final shipments - on paper. Don’t leave out anything. This is what is called a business plan. Make it elaborate and group each aspect under a heading and subheading.

Home workers need to set a disciplined work schedule. Having no bosses around or compulsions of commuting may make you take things easy and relaxed. At least for the first 6 month work as if you are in employment and put in the required hours. You can relax and cut down on working hours when you start earning enough.

Don’t procrastinate or put things off for tomorrow. Action is one major ingredient for success. If you need to do something do it today. Do it now.

It is essential to keep your motivation high. Read about the success of other small business and home business owners and learn what they did right. Duplicating someone else who has succeeded makes it easy to succeed yourself.

You may suddenly find yourself alone without the social support of colleagues and friends. Even persons you considered your best friends may avoid you if they feel you are in trouble. That is OK. You get to know who’s who in times of adversity. Learn to depend on yourself than outside support.

Be prepared to take the temporary pain and denials. Robert Kiyosaki of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ fame and his wife slept in their car for a few months and lived in a basement of a friends house for many more months to achieve what they set out - their financial freedom.

Believe in yourself and keep going even if the going gets tough. The rewards far outweigh the pains and temporary sufferings. Remember the darkest hour is just before the dawn breaks out and sun rises.

Buying a Franchise

Buying a Franchise
by: Matt Bacak


is not for everyone. This guide will help you evaluate whether buying a franchise is right for you. It will help you understand your obligations as a franchise owner. Many people dream of owning and running their own business but are often let down by the reality of doing so.


By purchasing a franchise, you often can sell goods and services that have instant name recognition and can obtain training and ongoing support to help you succeed. But be cautious. Like any investment, purchasing a franchise is not a guarantee of success.


A franchise typically enables you, the investor or "franchisee," to operate a business. By paying a franchise fee, which may cost several thousand pounds, you are given a format or system developed by the company ("franchisor"), the right to use the franchisor's name for a limited time, and assistance.


While buying a franchise may reduce your investment risk by enabling you to associate with an established company, it can be costly. You also may be required to relinquish significant control over your business, while taking on contractual obligations with the franchisor.


Outlined below are some of the main points you need to consider before buying a franchise:

- Franchise fee: Your initial franchise fee, which may be non-refundable, may cost several thousand to several hundred thousand pounds.

- Royalty payments: You may have to pay the franchisor royalties based on a percentage of your weekly or monthly gross income. You often must pay royalties even if your outlet has not earned significant income during that time. In addition, royalties usually are paid for the right to use the franchisor's name.

- Advertising fees: You may have to pay into an advertising fund. Some portion of the advertising fees may go for national advertising or to attract new franchise owners, but not necessarily to target your particular outlet.

- Controls: To ensure uniformity, franchisors typically control how franchisees conduct business. These controls may significantly restrict your ability to exercise your own business judgment.

- Terminations and Renewal: You can lose the right to your franchise if you breach the franchise contract. In addition, the franchise contract is for a limited time; there is no guarantee that you will be able to renew it. A franchisor can end your franchise agreement if, for example, you fail to pay royalties or abide by performance standards and sales restrictions. If your franchise is terminated, you may lose your investment. Franchise agreements typically run for 15 to 20 years.

After that time, the franchisor may decline to renew your contract.

Before investing in a particular franchise system, carefully consider how much money you have to invest, your abilities, and your goals.

How Most Millionaires get to be Millionaires...

How Most Millionaires get to be Millionaires...
by: Daegan Smith

Why do so many people claim that money isn’t important? Why is there this notion that wanting money somehow makes you an ill adjusted bad human being? It’s such a strange thought pattern don’t you think?

Wanting more money in your life doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. It doesn’t mean you’re greedy either. It just means you want more out of life. You want more freedom. You want more security. You want more fun. Whatever it is, you just want more. Money is just simple a means to that end.

I hoe I don’t let the cat out of the bag, but that’s what this whole home business gig is anyway. Someone sells you on the idea that you can make tons of money working from home as an independent contractor or distributor for this company or that. And, it’s not that you ever buy into the promise that the home business is selling, but you take a leap of faith and give it a try.

We start small, maybe $20 for a book about real estate investing. I know my first brush with the thought that I could be independently wealthy working from home was when I came across an ad for the ebook Googlecash (if you don’t know what I’m talking about just do a quick google search). The idea seemed so easy and so low risk I figured why not give it a try.

That was the beginning, almost a year ago. Here I am now writing to you about my home business experiences. In that time, I’ve bought an apartment building and learned just about everything there is to learn about starting and running a business from home. And guess what? If you haven’t caught on to this yet, no matter what the ads tell you, no home business is as simple or as cheap as the ad would have you believe. But I digress.

Let me get to the point though. Let’s discuss the title of this little article. Most millionaires become millionaires by starting a small business, saving their revenue, and then investing. It really is that simple. Let me say that again, all you have to do to become a millionaire is start a small business, save, and invest.

So, what do millionaire look like? Well, most are in their sixties and living the same type house that you and I live in. They look like us. They dress like us. They are us. The only difference is they have a whole lot more money in the bank.

Here’s a fact that I hope will hit home. There are twice as many millionaire small business owners than there are millionaire doctors or lawyers combined. So, if you own a home based business or you’re thinking about checking out some legitimate home based business opportunities then your on the right track. Just stick with it and don’t give up!

Remember most millionaires are get to be millionaires by being just like you and me, they’re home business entrepreneurs!

When your neighbor must wakeup early morning and run for their live to avoid get angry for their bos, you can wake up what ever you want and go to your office without worrying about what the "BOS" said.

Or maybe, when they mass up with their work and they scare to dead that they will get fired, you can just relax that you won't be on their place.

And how about not to worry about "pay the bill?" long vacation 4 times a year with your family? And the best part is, what do you think that you can have six - figure income?

But all I can say that all the trouble is worth it!! Ask all "guru" about online business, I bet they will say the same, it's not easy, but now all worth it, and they can reach their dream

And if is it not enough, this is the best reason why you should start to think to have your own business.

1.You can start part Time - The best part is, you don't have to jump suddenly without any safety, you can start it part time, and if after you get enough money to get Retire from your Job, than it's your choice to fired your boss... but I suggest to start it part time first, so you don't need to gambling to much, but believe me I know a lot of people who full time in this business.

4.Six Figure Incomes - Have you questions this to your self, "I give all my live to my job, but I feel that they don't pay me enough?" Well, that is a classic questions, but if you have your own business, you will be paid as much as what you give to your job, so the answer is YES it's possible to make six figure income on online business.

5.It's Cheap - I mean Chap here is, that you don't need much money to start your business, you can event start it FREE if you join only for the affiliate program or if you want a web site for your own all you need just a domain name (which you can have it for around $9 - $ 20 / year) and hosting fee ($24.95) and you ready to start, compare it with if you have start your own offline office (I have one, so I know exactly..) the office building, the employee, electricity, phone, tax, etc...etc...

Earning a good amount of money with autosurf programs

Earning a good amount of money with autosurf programs
by: Tony Tran

Autosurf programs are the hottest thing on the internet right now. You need no experience to start and you can get started almost instantly. It’s so easy to get started; even your 10 year old kid can do it. It’s a great way to earn some extra income to sponsor your other projects you might be planning or just earn a living out of it. Autosurf programs lets you view advertisement set on an auto-timer for an amount of time and you get paid for that. The purpose is to upgrade your account level, the more you upgrade, the more you will get paid in the end.

Autosurf programs are great, and you should get started as soon as possible to make money and feel good about it. There are many autosurf programs out there, so how do you spot a good one from a bad one?


1. Introduction
Although autosurf programs are very new and easy to use, it’s hard to tell how long they will last. There are a few autosurf programs that are stable and have lasted for awhile.

2. Checking Programs rating
Always search on google first on the programs rating before joining. If everyone is saying that it’s great and you should join, then it must mean that you must join or you’re losing out!

3. Is this autosurf program trustfully?
Check out the program’s forum! If they don’t have one, they must have something to hide. Spend some time reading the forum and asking other users question before you start. If everyone on the forum is saying its great, then try joining the program first since most if not all autosurf program lets you sign up for free.

4. Investing your money
To make money, you will need to buy upgrades. My recommendation is to start small and take the profit and deposit it into your bank, then use the small amount you started off with and invest into the autosurf program. This makes it hard for you to lose money. Since it is your hard earning money, never put in more than you can afford. There are people who are making a living using autosurf programs.

5. Final words
I love autosurf programs; it has given me more than enough money to start my other online business.

Make Money On A Home Based Business

Make Money On A Home Based Business
by: Joel Teo

Have you ever thought about starting a home based business in order to make money? A lot of people have, but where do you start with this?

The questions about home based businesses and how they make money for you are unending. You need to take care to take the first step when you are thinking about doing this. Most people miss this completely and thus they end up losing all their money on a business that goes nowhere.

Making Money By Writing A Home Based Business Plan

All right, the business plan for a home-based business may not sound like making money but it works. Far from what you may believe, it is not that hard to write a business plan. This isn’t one you need to show off to anyone. You may not need it to show to the bank for funding.

What this business plan will do is describe what your ideal home-based business will look like and how it will make money for you. You can’t reach a goal if you don’t have it set in the first place.

Write out your ideas of what your future will be like. In the end, what do you want to do? To you want to work in your pajamas in the morning with kids watching TV and you sitting at the computer typing away? Do you want products that you make by hand for each customer? Do you want to stock up on wholesale products and sell retail?

The Next Step To Making Money With a Home Based Business

Your next step is to take the next step. That might sound redundant but look at your business plan. Your plan needs steps to get to where you want to be. Write out these steps, and then take the first one on the list.

Once you have the steps written down, it’s easier to get to where you want to go. Just follow the steps. Need help? Ask! Join a business forum and ask someone you trust to look it over. Read everything you can get your hands on about home businesses and how they work.

Taking That Dramatic First Step Toward Making Money with a Home Based Business

Once you have the plan, the steps and know what to do, what makes you resist? Perhaps you fear failure or maybe you even fear actually succeeding? Forget for a moment all about failure or anything else. Look at your first step. Concentrate on it.

What is it exactly? Think about how you would do it. Picture in your mind the first step and how exactly to go about it. Spend an entire day thinking about that first step and where you will do it and how it will be done.

Then, when you are ready, do that first step and don’t stop until it’s done. Whatever it is, once it is done; look at your accomplishment. Reward yourself with a treat for getting it accomplished. It was the first step to your goal; making money with your own home based business. You’ve earned it!

Adsense Domination

Adsense Domination
6 steps to Adsense Domination
by: Keith Baxter


When you make your living online, you realize the need for multiple streams of income.

One of the easiest and most lucrative ways to generate a secondary income, which also happens to be passive, is via Google’s Adsense program.

I’m sure you’ve read the claims of a few individuals generating five figure monthly incomes from Adsense. For many of you, I’m sure you are wondering why you aren’t making this same income yourself.

Well, wonder no more. If you follow my simple six step system, you will be well on your way to healthy Adsense profits within three months.

Are you ready? It’s now time to pay attention.

Step 1 – Preparation.

The key to making money with Adsense is all about numbers. BIG numbers!

Sure, there are a few people making serious money with less than ten sites, but these are the exception.

Your goal will be twenty-four sites in three months. That’s just TWO sites per week!

In order to accomplish this, I recommend one of the many available page generation tools available today.

Step 2 – Determine Your Markets.

In order to maximize Adsense income with only twenty-four sites, you must know which markets are paying well.

To break this down even further, you need to know which keywords within those markets are paying the most.

Step 3 – Register you domains.

Once you’ve identified and chosen your markets, you must register domains appropriate to those markets. For example, if your market is ‘Cabbage Patch Dolls’, a domain such as http://www.cabbage-patch-doll.com/ would be appropriate.

Step 4 – Create your site.

Using your favorite page generation software and keyword list, it’s time to develop your site. There are several key points to bear in mind when you develop these specifically for Adsense.

1. Format – Always use the large 336x280 large rectangle.
2. Border – Match the same color as your background.
3. Background color - Border – Match the same color as your background.
4. Link = "0000CC"
5. Color_url = "999999"
6. Color_text = "333333"
7. Position – Far left or center and just above the page fold (Top 25% of site)

Step 5 – Verify and track your site

Visit your site and make sure all links work and that the sites appear to your satisfaction. You should also check out the ads Google is displaying. Are they targeted to your primary high paying keyword? If not, recreate your site using your high paying keyword in a higher density throughout your site.

Make sure you track your Adsense format, position, and traffic with a tracking system specifically designed for Adsense. Once you know your stats, you can adjust for maximum clickthroughs and higher revenues.

Step 6 – Get your site listed in the search engines.

This is simple… no tricks involved. Simply rent links to your site. A PR7 or PR8 link will do the job.

While I’ve simplified the process here, you are now armed with enough information and resources to make some serious money with Adsense.
