Tips to Improve Christmas Give Aways

Christmas is only two weeks away, can you believe it?  Where did the year go, I hear many of you saying...
Leading up to Christmas is usually a busy time for many of us,  getting presents, getting the christmas food in, and writing cards. It is also the time of year when cold, and flue run rife. 

SO I wanted to share with you some great tips you can do to get your business into the christmas spirit too.  This is possibly the best time of the year to drum up business, because you have the time leading up to Christmas as well as the New Year to generate targetted leads and interest in your business or products.
Here are some ways in which you may want to investigate for yourself how you could improve business sales throughout the Christmas and New Year.

Tip One : - Price reductions -  Every one has a SALE, you will see them on TV and all over the high streets. If people think they are getting a bargain and the price is going to be raised in a short period, they are more likely to go for the deal now.


Tip Two: - BOGOFF deals,  two for one deals, or buy one get one free, however you want to say it.  Another great way to generate interest into your business.

Tip Three: Reductions of products or services  in exchange for 2 or more referrals. The way you can push this to your customers is to say word of mouth to a few friends and colleagues and you can get your products for services for a month FREE..

Tip Four: Offer exclusive access to a FREE or reduced webinar, something that will be off value to them, in exchange for your products or services.

Four short tips for you, hoping that you will find these useful, if you do please share using the sharing links below this post.

Are You Open For Business?

Most businesses have an open sign to tell others when they are open and when they are closed.  However, this is a bit more difficult when you are based online, so how do you tell your customers you are open for business when you have an online business?


It's not easy, but below are some ideas that will get your business noticed online.

Create an online presence - a great way of doing this is by setting up a website or a blog and sending out regular updates of posts.  This shows you are active and your business is current.
Another great way is setting up an online presence is to set up a facebook group page or fan page, what ever takes your fancy, but promote your facebook page and your website together, use other social media space such as twitter, myspace, digg to get the word out that you are open for business.

Participate in other forums: A great way to get known as an expert is to participate in other forums and leave comments on blogs.  Leaving comments in this way builds up your credability and creates backlinks to your blog or website.

Leaving Comments on Blog Posts - Beleive it or not this will create back links to your blog if you leave comments on 'do follow' blogs, as well as 'no follow' blogs. 

Press Releases -  tell people about important events in your business by preparing a press release.

10 Tips For Getting Your Business Out There

Social Media Marketing is something which does not come naturally to most people.  You either have the edge or you don't.  Here I will share with you some marketing tips that will help to get your business out in the world wide web.

The secret is to promote, promote, promote.  Make sure that what you are promoting is news worthy and is not considered to be spam. 

1. Identify your niche - spend time going doing the research both in the keyword market and online blogs and forums to identify where you niche market is and who they are.

2. Leave valuable comments in blogs and forums.  Leave a trail, let people know you are an expert, the more comments you leave, google will reward you!

3. Create a signature link for your emails, promote yourself and your website whenever you send out an email.

4. Include a photo in your email link, this will help others see that you are a real person and not a spambot.

5. Get yourself a twitter account if you have not already got one.  Always create a twitter account with your name, after all if you create some bogus random name, who is going to find you? Remeber no spamming, twitter is like a party, mingle and network with other users.  It's not all about you you you!

6. Think about your bio when adding to sites like ezine articles, or even to twitter or your blog.  What are you trying to convey to others who come visit your sites? 

7. Creaate a brand, remember your business is all about YOU.  Without YOU, there is no business.

8. Note down your achievements, and shout them out! Announce them on a press release or on your blog, but promote your successes.

9. Learn from your disasters, yes you can also report these as lessons, and what you could have done, or what you did do to turn it around.

10. Take action to put something out there in the world wide web on a day to day basis.  The more gets out the better.  Make sure it is quality though, you don't want to compromise your brand!

Inflation Stinks For Business Owners & Investors

Yes, I said it.  Rising fuel bills have pushed the inflation rate above 5% the highest it has been for 20 years they say.  Wow!  So how does this affect your business and your investments? 

• Higher fuel bills
• higher rate business taxes
• higher loan rates
• higher mortgages or rents will shortly follow
• reduced savings for those of us careful with our money (something like 1.5% at the moment in some cases)

I could go on and on and on, but you get the drift.  It's the SME owners that are going to suffer through all of this, and hey guess what not many measure in place to help them out.  So it looks like your on your own. 

This has bothered me for the last 18 months, watching my pension investment go down.  I pity those who are nearing retirement or about to retire, because in reality due to the economic down turn you are looking at more than 10% reduction in their investment and possibly more over time.  At least I have a few years yet before I retire for the market to recover.  This is scary!  

Invest in Gold and Silver

I have had friends and fellow marketers scream at me.  Well I have been watching the price of gold, and am kicking myself now, as I should have invested then.  Have you seen the price of gold?  $1600 plus per ounce!!  I remember seeing this at $80 an ounce... no chance now. What a great return in only a few short months.  Now I know gold has gone down over the last couple of days, but cold coins.....

Coins?

How can a coin be an investment?  Well when they are sold directly from the mint in pristine condition. Of course there are other factors which I won't go into here, but my website goes into more details ==> click here

Here's a link from the financial times for those of you lucky people living in the UK  - Inflation News

excited at the thought of this weekend... UK Launch taking place of new home business, it's gonna rock!

How I Generated 85 leads in two days

I am so excited right now.  I recently was introduced to a business investment and opportunity.  A way in which I am able to invest in my business in something tangible, which will serve as either an investment or a heirloom and to be able to right off the tax aspects in the business element. 

But that is not whay I am discussing here, I'm talking about a new lead system that is helping drive high quality leads to my site.  

Now I have used lead systems before, but didn't get results like I have been seeing over the past couple of days.  

From signing up to this lead system, setting up the back end and emailing out links took me two hours, then within a couple of days my stats had grown to 85 leads, where I was able to sign up one person.  Impressive huh!  

Two days of advertising and signing up 1 lead. 

There is so much to this, that it's easier for you to view the link. So I thought I would share with you the system I am using ==> goo.gl/LiR4u  Yes, it is an affiliate link, but hey a girls got to make a living... plus if you come on board, you too can start earning money plus generate leads within your primary business.

Mobile Marketing - Are You On Trend?

In the last 18 months or so the smartphone mobile market has jumped considerably. With the introduction of Apple's iPhone and the HTC Desire and many other mobile companies producing super smart phones, it's like having a personal PC in your phone. In the UK alone according to the BBC 80% of households have one. Considering there is a 60million population in the UK, that's a huge market.

The new brand of smart phones are now so powerful, and come with 3G and wi-fi access to the internet which makes them convenient, and lighter to carry around.

Lessons From My Day Job That Have Helped Me In My Network / MLM Business

Some of you may not be in a position where you are able to work from home full time, and are still currently working for an employer. 
Think about this, have you ever wanted to just go back to sleep after the alarm clock goes because you just haven't got the motivation or drive to get up and go to work? 

I know a few people who are in that position now as we speak!

Wouldnt' it be nice to be in a position where if you do wake up early enough in the morning and you don't have the drive or motivation to get up at that point, that you could just chill further in your bed and not worry about answering to a boss.

What we all need to remember is that our jobs are not for "life" , and that "life" has a terrible habit of getting in the way of one's plans.  

It is all too important to recognise that a job is not for life as it was say when our parents were young, in the age of the industrial revolution, now we are in the 'information age' a job can be so volatile, you need to have a second option available in case 'Mr Corporate or Ms Corporate, decide to pull the rug from underneath your feel and throw you out onto the retirement heap or the voluntary redundance heap.  Yes I have been there before (the voluntary redundancy route!  I am too young to be thinking of retirine. 

So with having a Plan B in mind, here's what you are going to have to do...

• figure out what transferable skills have you got.  Can y ou type (even if it is only one finger), can you send an email, are you good at talking on the phone, are you easy to teach and can you learn from anyone regardless of their age to you?
• think long and hard about what marketing product you can see yourself marketing
• think about how many hours realistically do you have for a home based part time business, dont forget walking the dog and taking the kids to school!
• think about whether you want to sell products or services as this will be key as to what type of network marketing group you get on board with. Do your due diligence either way. 
• how much money are you going to be willing to invest?  Money?? Arghhh, can't I do this for free?  No is the simple answer.  You can do it for less, but not for free if it is going to be an opportunity that helps you work your way our of your day job, come on let's face it, do you want to be paid peanuts or big bucks?  Which will get you retiring from your day job quicker?

Facebook Users Beware New Facebook Features

This is a great article taken from Mashable re Facebook's new features...

If you didn’t watch Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook announcements last week — and of course the vast majority of Facebook users did not — you may be in for a surprise. Aside from the dramatically redesigned Facebook Timeline profile pages, which roll out in the coming weeks (and which I’ve grown to love), Facebook’s new system to auto-share what you do around the web may catch many Facebook addicts off guard.
In fact, even those people who know exactly how this new feature works may need to be on guard against sharing some seriously embarrassing updates.
For those not in the loop: Facebook is making sharing even easier by automatically sharing what you’re doing on Facebook-connected apps. Instead of having to “Like” something to share it, you’ll just need to click “Add to Timeline” on any website or app, and that app will have permission to share your activity with your Facebook friends.
What activity, you ask? It could be the news articles you read online, the videos you watch, the photos you view, the music you listen to, or any other action within the site or app. Facebook calls this auto-sharing “Gestures.”
Can you see the possible issue here?

Affiliate Marketing Report

Making Money Online....

Let's look at Affiliate Marketing, the benefits and the gains.

Benefits
Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest and simplest forms of marketing there is.  You can literally start making money in a matter of a few days, or even a few hours.

You don't need to buy products, or even have to have a website. There is a secret to affiliate marketing though, and that is knowing which products to promote and where to promote them. 

To be successful in affiliate marketing you need to know how to set up powerful campaigns and be able to drive targeted traffic to your pages, this in turn will generate a steady stream of commission payments.

 The great thing about affiliate marketing is that you aren't restricted by niche or market because you aren't creating the information products!  You're simply profiting from other people's work, and in many cases, vendors will offer as much as 50% commissions, meaning that you will earn just as much as they do without all of the work!

With affiliate marketing, you can develop a series of campaigns focusing around digital products, physical products or a combination of both.

The Gains
You don't have to spend hundreds of pounds joining an organisation just to 'learn how to market their products' or to gain licence to their products.
Your responsible for your own profit, and how much you make, all depends on how far you are willing to go to promote the products or services you market.

Official Google Blog: Introducing Google Buzz

 Google buzz has been around for a few months now, and there had been a great fuss about this on the internet, especially amongst Internet Marketers.  Here below I have taken this straight from the horses mouth from google themselves. They explain what google buzz is all about and if you want your business to continue to grow online, take good notes..

Official Google Blog: Introducing Google Buzz: "We've blogged before about our thoughts on the social web , steps we've taken to add social features to our products , and efforts like  OpenSocial that propose common tools for building social apps. With more and more communication happening online, the social web has exploded as the primary way to share interesting stuff, tell the world what you're up to in real-time and stay more connected to more people. In today's world of status messages, tweets and update streams, it's increasingly tough to sort through it all, much less engage in meaningful conversations.

Our belief is that organizing the social information on the web — finding relevance in the noise — has become a large-scale challenge, one that Google's experience in organizing information can help solve. We've recently launched innovations like real-time search and Social Search, and today we're taking another big step with the introduction of a new product, Google Buzz.

Habit 4 - Win-Win Is The Best Position

Today we look at Habit 4: Think Win-Win.
Think Win-Win isn’t about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration.
Most of us are really competitive, and it is natural to want to win outright and that being the case there must be a loser. It’s not nice to think of someone elses failing and you rejoice in the fact. No one likes to be the loser, but ultimately someone must be, or must they?

Freaky Friday!

Have you seen the movie "Freaky Friday"?

In the story a mom and her teenage daughter find their
personalities have switched places (on a Friday).

The mom (in her daughter's body) has to to go back to
high school, and the daughter (in her mom's body) has
to spend the day at work in corporate America.

It's a funny movie, but it got me thinking about
attracting wealth and abundance.

Specifically, what would happen if a self-made
millionaire and "poor" person switched places?

Imagine - a person who's been struggling with money
wakes up one day in the same financial situation
- mountains of debt, overdue bills, dead end job - but
now there's a new brain in charge.

A wealthy brain. The brain of a person who see's the
world from a rich person's point of view.

You can probably see where this is going.

The poor person (now suddenly "rich") would be partying
and living out all their fantasies and burning through
cash at an astonishing rate.

The rich person (now in the poor person's body) would
be focused on how to become wealthy again.

They would wake up in the morning thinking like a rich
person, take rich person actions, manage their tiny
bank account like a rich person - and very soon the
money would be flowing.

Their "wealthy thinking" would immediately kick in.

What does this have to do with your financial picture?

Two things:

1 - Money does not make you rich. Give money to a
person with a "poor" mindset and in a short time
they'll be broke (Some experts say that 70% of lottery
winners are broke again within 2 years).

2 - If you want to achieve the wealth and prosperity
you dream about, it's not going to happen with the
same level of thinking you're at now.

You may already be working on this. Setting goals,
doing affirmations, working with the law of attraction.

But what if instead of spending months or years slowly
building your "wealthy mindset" you could quickly "wake
up" the wealthy genius already inside of you?

What if tomorrow you were suddenly able to
think and act and attract money like a self-made
millionaire?

Check this out

People who struggle often think MONEY is what makes you
rich.

The fact is, your situation or the amount of
money in the bank has nothing to do with how wealthy
you'll become.

A self-made millionaire in ANY situation can turn it
around and become wealthy again.

If you want to start thinking like a millionaire and
quickly attracting more money into your life, then
please check this out:

Click Here

It's no secret that rich think differently.

The biggest gift you can give yourself is to activate
your own wealthy thinking.

And now it'e easier than ever to do:

Freaky Friday has a happy ending.

Visit that link and you'll be taking a giant step
towards creating your own happy ending - a life
surrounded by love, wealth and happiness.

Goals = Frustration

If you're reading this you probably have big dreams. Mine is to the left of this post, a luxury villa in Portugal of the Silver Coast!

You want to squeeze every drop out of life - live in a
way that makes the world a better place - experience
what never-ending prosperity, independence and freedom
REALLY feel like.

And yet...how many dreams have you had - how many
important goals have you set - that just haven't
happened?

Does it frustrate you? Make you sad?

Maybe even a little angry because you've worked so hard
- on yourself - and you still haven't broken through?

Well, it's not your fault. Turns out something has been
stopping your dreams, goals and manifestations dead in
their tracks.


But what if there was a way you could reach every
single goal you set - for the rest of your life?

I know - it sounds crazy.

Except... there's a man who's figured out how to do
exactly that - to give you a life filled with dreams
that actually come true.

I think you need to read up on this

This is unlike anything I've ever seen.

If you've ever wondered WHY some people seem to
manifest everything from money to cars to radiant
health to fascinating careers and passionate
romance..seemingly without effort...

While others work and work and struggle and focus and
meditate and "affirm" and bang their head against the
law of attraction until they're exhausted - and still
struggle to pay all their bills...

The answer is here:

Get Anything Fast
I love this  and what it means for all of us who
are on a path to a better life.

Self Develoment: You Are Never Too Busy to Learn

A quick blog today about the importance of learning, of improving your self development.   Some people think once you have left school that's it, learning is over.  The reality is we must all continue to learn if we want to advance in life.

A doctor takes years to learn their craft and even then with time comes new medical break throughs, new technology which have to be studied and learned.  This applies to many areas not just for those in the Medical world.

What ever job you have, there are most likely to be qualifications which you need to have, or ongoing ones you need to retake once in a while. But, why just do this for your work, why not apply this to your personal life. We should never stop learning, we just weren't born that way. The human being has an inquiring mind, and believe it or not we only use a small percentage of our brain, according to most scientists we only use approximately 10% of our brain power. Now I'm not saying if you continue to learn you can improve the percentage of your brain you are using!  Imagine if that were the case there would be many of us using alot more of our brains. 

What I have found is that mixing with people who have gone out of their way to continue learning, personally developing their selves, making small improvements in their life has helped them move to another level, one which their previous mindset would not have allowed them to.  

Have you ever wondered"why am I here?", "what is my purpose?", this can lead on a path of self development, meeting positive minded people who make you question where you are and why you are here. Take time out to discover new things, open your mind to people and events around you.

Watch my short video of encouragement and leave me a comment below telling me what your doing to keep yourself up to speed in your industry.

Happy Easter! Wackiest Easter Traditions...

Easter is one of the few days of the year where traditionally we spend time with family and good friends. It should also be a time for reflection, for being thankful for what we have and who we have around us. Easter, traditionally seen as the beginning of spring, new beginnings,new life. 

For some of us here in the UK, we are looking forward to chocolate eggs and bunnies and hot cross buns, but there are other wacky traditions happening all over the world for instance, in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, where there is a tradition of spanking or whipping women on Easter Monday. Males throw water at females and spank them with handmade whips made of willow and decorated with ribbons at the end. The spanking is supposed to be symbolic and according to legend, females should be spanked in order to keep their health and beauty during the next year. It doesn’t sound too fun for the women!

On Maundy Thursday in Verges, in Spain, a traditional “death dance” is performed which involves a parade down the streets of the medieval town. Everyone involved is dressed in costumes and the procession ends with frightening skeletons carrying boxes of ashes. The scary dance begins at midnight and continues for three hours into the early morning.

If the man of the house in Poland takes part in preparing the traditional Easter bread, custom has it that his moustache will turn grey and the dough will fail. So the lucky man of the house is banned from helping out.

In Latvia, the traditional Easter game played by the children is similar to conkers – but with eggs. Players pair off and use hard-boiled coloured eggs joined together with string. Competitors bang the ends of the eggs together until one player’s egg breaks. The winner is the player with the stronger egg. It sounds a bit messy to us.

The way in which we each celebrate Easter is diverse and different and although there are common grounds, there are also huge differences.  There are no wrong or right ways to celebrate the Easter period, so hoping your all enjoy your time out with your family however you maybe celebrating.

Self Development - Defeat Can Only Lead To Success If You Learn From It

 Everyone suffers from defeat now and again, but it is what you do or think when you are defeated that makes the difference. There are those of us, who when defeated simply walk away and vow never to try that again, or become involved in such activities again. This is true of most network marketers or business owners who start out very positive wanting to achieve a dream to work for themselves, and when the going gets difficult, they simply give in too easily and walk away. Statistics have shown that 97% of New Businesses fail within their first 3 - 5 years of starting up.
Regardless of whether you have a business or not, where conditions arise which may lead to defeat, here are some worthwhile lessons we could all take away in how to make that defeat a victory and turn it around into something positive.

Procrastination -Tips to Stop Procrastination

If you find your always start something but can never seem to finish, or you tend to put things off what you know you can and should be doing, then you are probably a procrastinator.

Lack of focus can be a reason for procrastination as is lack of good time management and organizational skills. 

So what can be done to help improve and stop procrastination.

1. Start using a 'to do' list - put all your tasks down on paper or electronically.  Whatever you find easy to use.
2.  Prioritise your tasks.  Are the tasks listed really necessary, can you delegate? What is urgent to be done now, and what can be done later
3. Put a timescale against your to do lists and priorities . Make it realistic and try to stick to them
4. Focus on completing one thing at a time,and try not to start several tasks at once leaving them part way through.  It's much easier working on one thing at a time.  
5. Sometimes you have just got to do the horrible tasks first.  Don't think about it, just do it..

If you follow the above,this will help to cut down on procrastination and you get a great sense of satisfaction when you complete each task.

This One Is For Work From Home Mothers

 I received this from a friend via email and thought it appropriate to distribute on my blog. Now as a mother myself, I know that your role as a mother is not taken so seriously by corporate men in suites or other areas of business. Don't under estimate your self worth or your value to not only your family but to the society in which you live.

If like me you are also entrepreneur and a work from home mother, when you read this you will feel proud of being a mother if you are not already feeling so.

The officer at the Driving License counter asked the lady "What is your occupation?"

The woman seeking renewal of her license seemed to be puzzled. So the
officer said "Ma'am, are you employed, have your own business
or........

The woman replied "Oh, yes!! I have a full time occupation. I am a mother"

Officer: "We don't have 'mother' as an option for occupation. I will
write it down as 'Housewife'. That takes care of all questions."

This had happened long ago, and was forgotten. Years later when I went
to get my license, the Public Relations Officer was a somewhat pompous. woman.

"Your occupation?" she asked in a rather authoritative tone.

I just had an inspiration and replied "I am a researcher in the field
of Child Development, Nutrition and Inter-personal Relationships"

The lady officer stared at me in amazement. I calmly repeated my
statement and she wrote it down verbatim. Then, unable to conceal her
curiosity, she politely asked "What exactly do you do in your profession, Ma'am?"

 I was feeling good about having described my occupation so calmly and
confidently. So I replied "My research projects have been going on for
a number of years Mothers never retire!. My research is conducted
in the laboratory as well as in the field. I have two bosses. One is
God and the other is my entire family. I have received two honours in
this field. A son and a daughter My topic is considered to be the
most difficult part of sociology.(All moms will agree!!). I have to
work more than 14 hours every day. Sometimes even 24 hours are not
enough and the challenges are tougher than many other professions. My
compensation is in terms of mental satisfaction rather than money"

I could see that the officer was thoroughly impressed. After completing                                                                                                                               the licensing formalities, she came to the door to see me off.

This new viewpoint about my occupation made me feel much better on my
way back home. I was welcomed by my 5 year old research assistant at
the door. My new project (my 6 month old baby) was energetically
practicing her 'music'.

I had earned a small victory over the Governmental red tape today. I
was no longer 'merely a mother', instead I was now a highly placed
functionary in a service vital for mankind -Motherhood!!

'Mother' - Isn't it a great title. Fit to be added to the nameplate on
the door!! By this standard, grandmothers deserve to be called Senior
Research Officers, and Great Grandmothers qualify as 'Research
Directors'. Aunts and other ladies of that age group can be called
'Research Facilitators'

Please share this with all mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers,
all ladies currently holding posts like didi-tai-chachi-mami-mausi-bua
...... They will all shower you with blessings and life will be happier.

Copy Writing Tips

 Why is it so difficult to get people to notice your site, your products, your services?  How can you get yourself noticed?

Have you ever thought about the articles you write. DO you give any thought to what you are writing, who your audience and and what you are trying to bring out in your article?  Good copy writing skills is essential to help keep your readers entertained.  If you doubt whether copy writing will improve your lead generation, then take a look at some of the emails and websites you find interesting, see how they are able to pull you in.

Here are some quick tips that I have found useful with copy writing.

1. On average you have about 10 seconds or even less to get someone's attention online, so do you have good copy? 
2. Having a good catchy title helps, then follow up with something snappy and attention grabbing.  But, you probably knew all this right?  
3. A good copy with usually be interwoven with a great story, something that you don't give away all at once, keep your readers entertained.Story telling is a great way to captivate your readers imagination. It also helps to build rapport,gets them to know you.
4. Using power words can get your readers to take action and also gets their attention, words like, 'proven', breakthrough, one-offor scientifically proven.
5. Forget using jargon, use straight forward simple language, as they say keep it simple. Try not to use sophisticated or complex language.
6. It helps to use positive language, readers always get inspiration from positive language, leave negative language out of your posts, unless your describing a situation or issue that is related to the positive side. 
7. Use bullet points and sub headers,it helps readers to be able to quickly read through your article. 
8. Make your piece conversational, write like your talking to your best friend or pals over a coffee. Read it back to see if it flows and if it sounds like how you speak.
9. Engage with your reader, ask them a question which they can relate to, it makes them want to read on a little longer, and also they will be more liable to say yes to what you are retailing.

One of the things I do is to keep emails of what I think are good copies, the ones that caught my attention in the first place. I like to study them to 'learn' from them, get an insight into what is great about them, how does it all hang together.  Here's a great course that I have found useful in copywriting, let me know if you find it useful too.

I hope you have found this useful and if you have, why not leave me a comment below.
