Home Business Success Tips #2 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is a short note to those of you who may be receiving emails from people in your safelists that you signed up to.I am not too big a fan of safelists but here is something you may want to consider.One of the main problems with safelists is everybody just deletes everyone else's email ad because thay are only interested in signing up people to their programs.But here is what you need to look for in the future.Instead of deleting these emails you are going to pay attention to the ones that leave you an email address.Then you are going to start a conversation with these people about their business or their life.Be sincere and ask questions like:#1 how long they have been with their program?#2 how well they are doing with it?#3 how much it costs to keep their program running?#4 anything about their family or personal interests?Offer to exchange marketing ideas with them.Remember this is not spam on your initial contact because every time someone sends you junk mail, they have relinqui Read more:Business

Home Business Success Tips 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yes everyone starting a business online needs an auto responder.Why?Well because it is kind of like a pushy salesman.You know the one that continues to pursue you until you buy from him.So after you buy from him what happens next?A good salesman knows that if he takes care of his customers he can continue to make that repeat sale over and over.Take my profession for instance.I have a window cleaning business that I have built up over many years.I actually have some customers that I have been doing their house every year for 10 years.Just like window cleaning it will prove true with an online business.We have to remember there is a person behind the newbie looking to start a business.Chances are he is not really sure if your online business is the right one.So now newbie signs up with your program.Now what happens?Do we say "thanks for the signup" and "hope you make it and if you don't sorry about your luck".Most likely most newbies know nothing about autoresponders, blogs, forums, art Read more:Business

Good Email Advertising 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I thought it might be good to talk about a few ofmy likes and dislikes about email advertising.Ihave picked up a few good pointers over theyears.Even though a lot of these may be known orsaid before they are worth repeating.After all the whole idea is get people to read youremails( not DELETE) in the hope that they willsign up or buy whatever you are promoting. One of the first things you are going to want todo is make sure you don't go across in your emailmore than 65 characters a line.There are 2reasons for this and the first is what is known as"eye fatigue".What this means is if the personreading has to go across too far to the right thereader loses interest.The second reason is someemail clients have what is called line wrappingwhich means your message will come out allgarbled if it is over 65 characters. Next thing is avoid using all capitals.When aperson uses all capitals on the internet it isconsidered shouting and nobody likes shouting allthe time.Gilbert Godfrey shouts al Read more:Email

Free Targeted Traffic 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok, so here's the thing.Somebody said you should start your own home business.You need to start developing residual income.So you took the plunge and signed up as an affiliate with XYZ company.You found out they give you a website with a url that you are supposed to market so you can sell products or sign other people up with.The only problem is the url is big and long and not search engine friendly.Don't get discouraged with your new online business.You have a couple of choices here.So you did some research and you heard it was a good thing to have a website.After checking into it with various website building companies you discovered this can be a bit of a bottomless money pit and you weren't sure about this route.After all you haven't even made your first sale yet.Sadly I have watched this happen a few times.People who are naive spend a whole bunch of money setting up a website only to find they can't afford it in the long run and two months down the road they are gone.The tr Read more:Free Targeted
Answered Prayer 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There is a problem I would like to address that seems to be common in most Christian circles today.Very few believers know how to speak the word to their problems and I believe it is the key to answered prayer. Instead we are negatively talking about our problems resulting in long silly counseling sessions that go nowhere and resolve nothing.Proverbs 18:21 says"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,and those who love it will eat it's fruit."I believe the most important weapon a believer has in his armor is his tongue.It is the #1 weapon against the devil.It's like a machine gun.It is always loaded and always produces results.Your tongue is either working for or against you.What you say will have an effect on you and the people you talk about.All we have to do is look at the latest feud between Donald Trump and Rosie for evidence of this.For sure I have come to understand that we will never rise above our confession.In James 1:26 we read "if any man among you seem to be relig Read more:Prayer
Global Warming?Are you worried? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today I read an article in the paper.The headline read"Doomsday Clock Ticks closer to midnight.Apparently a prominent group of scientists in 1945 set up this clock to illustrate impending nuclear annihilation.At that time their main concern was nuclear war and midnight symbolized a widespread nuclear conflict.They moved it to 11:55 today.Their concerns have shifted however, more onto Global
warming.The dangers posed by climate change are nearly as dire as those posed by nuclear weapons they say.I couldn't help but ponder how the world seems to know something ominous is on the horizon but they don't know exactly what. As a believer in Jesus I guess I have an added advantage to know exactly what is coming down the pipe for planet earth.As a matter of fact everything that is currently happening out there in planet earth has been forewarned about 2 thousand years ago without squinting to hard at the bible. In Matthew chapter 24 and Luke 21 the disciples asked Jesus "what the sign of his Read more:Global Warming
Online Affiliate Program.How to Pick the Right One. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So you are on a quest to find an internet affiliate program.Youlike the fact that they handle all the orders,take care of the shipping, and collectpayment from the customer.All you do is market your affiliate website and get acheque from them every month.Nice and simple.The trouble is there is just so manyto choose from and they all are boasting loudly.For the most part you have to getpast all the advertising which borders on lying and get to the truth behind thecompany.The following is a list of things to check for so you can make a wise choice.#1 How many years has the company been in business.I wouldn't gonear any company that hasn't been around for at least 10years.Why?Because you may be signing up with a company deep in the red and about to gounder.I am ashamed to say it but it has happened to me.All because I didn't check them outthoroughly.I don't understand all this hype about "pre-launch" and "get in nowbefore we launch".To me that just means they are unproven and unstable Read more:Affiliate

Christian Divorce. What to Do When It Happens To You. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I 'm not going to go into all the sorted ugly details of my Christian
divorce. That was many years ago and I wouldn't want to come across like I am still bitter or looking for some sort of revenge. I do pray for my ex wife and if you knew the details you would know I have gone through a tremendous healing. God has restored me marvelously and I hope to encourage those of you out there who may be in the middle of this dark emotional hellish roller coaster at the moment. There is definitely hope for you. Jesus for sure is right in the middle of all this with you. He hasn't left you or condemned you like the church probably has painting you with the divorce brush. So I will attempt to share some of the life lessons and things I discovered about Jesus through it all in the hope that you will find sound counsel and comfort.#1) Jesus is not asking you to now be single for the rest of your life because of your divorce. Jesus knew exactly how long your marriage would last and what you wou
Tithing or God's Grace. Which Prospers You? 2007-03-03 20:58:00 A lot of preachers are dogmatic about biblical tithing but most of what is being taught in Christian churches across North America about a believer's prosperity is just flat out erroneous. This is a huge topic so I am going to address one false doctrine to the next and make this a series. The words of the prophets are subject to the prophets so I invite you to scrutinize what I say with the word and God's holy spirit in you. The church keeps wanting to find little formulas for prosperity when God is looking for relationship with us. If I told you there is no curse on you if you don't tithe and no automatic vending machine blessing if you do you'd probably say that flies in the face of everything I have been hearing. The truth of the matter is there is a ton of false doctrine floating around out there. It is time for the church to grow up and stop feeding on baby food. The problem is we seem to want to lift bible verses out of their setting. When we do we can make scripture say anyt Read more:Grace

Tithing or God's Grace. Which Prospers You? Part 2 2007-03-08 01:26:00 Welcome to our little chat about tithing or God's grace . I was watching Christian television the other morning and listening to what they were implying. They were talking about the parable of the widow's offering and making it sound like Jesus was just so pleased with the fact that she gave all she had to live on. After I finished stabbing myself in the eye with a fork I thought to myself, don't these so called men of God know how to meditate the word. You never and I mean never lift a verse out of it's setting. Jesus always taught in whole subjects. The key is to find the beginning of the subject and then find the end. Perhaps part of the confusion here with the widow's offering is that most modern translations put a sub heading right in the middle of this teaching as though Jesus had changed the topic which he clearly had not.Here is how it should read: Luke 20:45 While all the people were listening Jesus said to his disciples, " Beware of the teachers of the law. They walk ar Read more:Grace

Article Writing: Great Tips On How to Write An Article 2007-03-12 02:31:00 So you have figured out that article writing will bring targeted visitors to your website but you are a little fearful of how to go about it. This is going to seem obvious but I know I didn't do it when I started article writing and I really wish I had. " WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS SEARCHING OUT A GOOD ARTICLE WRITING MENTOR."So before you say " I don't have unlimited cash flow to sign up with some expensive program at this point " let me say this. It won't cost you a dime if you do this.I am going to recommend you start poking around a few of the big article directories to begin your search. Why? Because the mentor you are needing should be writing regularly in one or all of these directories. Ezine Article
s, Article Dashboard, Article Base, and Article Blast in my opinion are the four big kahunas I would recommend at this point. They are the ones I have been getting the most exposure from with my articles. If you are not a free member of these go ahead and sign up because in the Read more:Great

Article Writing: Great Tips On How to Write An Article Part 2 2007-03-17 20:34:00 Welcome back to great tips on how to write an article. We'll cover a few more things I feel are pertinent for successful article writing that I have discovered.1) Learn To Write
A Good Catchy TitleThe first thing you need to do is do a keyword search by using http://inventory.overture.com . Your keywords should have been searched at least a thousand times in the preceding month. You can multiply this number by five to come up with the total interest for this keyword among all the major search engines. Try to use your keywords in the title and at least once in the article body. Remember a search engine spider reads from left to right just like we do so don't waste your first four words. Notice above how I phrased this article title and guess what my keywords are.2) Get Yourself Some Good Article
Submission SoftwareThis can be done by punching into Google " free article submission software " or anything along those lines. Some of them you can try out for free for a time. They will ra Read more:Great

Christian Divorce. What to Do When It Happens To You Part 2 2007-03-19 01:32:00 Part one of "Christian
Divorce" that I wrote got a tremendous number of reads so I thought perhaps I should expound little further. As I said before I want to encourage all believers out there that are going through the pain and darkness of divorce. Having gone through divorce myself there are a few things I can share here from my experience that I hope are helpful. 1) You May Need To Change Your Circle Of Friends Or Even ChurchesOne of the big things you are going to find out is the church is mostly confused on how to handle the divorce hot potato. When I say the church I am talking about the circle of believers that are supposed to be there for you when hardship comes in your life. You are about to find out most of your friends won't be there for you. If you can find anyone that you can lean on in this time you are truly blessed. Sadly we like to shoot the wounded and avoid anything that may be awkward. If you are the innocent party in your divorce, and even if everybody in your chu
Article Writing: Great Tips On How To Write An Article Part 3 2007-03-23 03:53:00 Welcome back to our discussion on how to write an article. I trust you have read the other articles I have done so far on this as they kind of pick up where I left off. I will touch on a few more things I think are vitally important. As a matter of fact you might want to write these on the inside of your eyelids.1) WriteArticle
s On What You Feel Passionate AboutWhat heats your chili? What fries your bacon? What gets your mojo going? Whatever your mojo is. It is a lot easier to come up with content on something you are very familiar with and excited about. Also you won't mind doing the research because you love the topic. I admit this one is obvious but you'd be surprised how many people try to write on things they couldn't care less about because someone said they should. If you are bored with it then it will come across in your article and people will go to the kitchen, get a cup of hot chocolate, try to read your article but end up taking a nap.2) Write Lots of Articles Not Just Read more:Great

Revival. False Christian Doctrine Has Got To Go 2007-03-31 02:15:00 In the coming revival, we are not only going to see signs and wonders but I believe we will also see a revival of doctrine. All kinds false christian teaching is presently floating around out there. I believe Jesus is abruptly bringing it all to an end. Just in case you thought Jesus isn't concerned with this you may want to consider some of the discussions he had with the Pharisees when he said " you whitewashed tombstones" or " you brood of vipers" when they tried to promote their own religion and put words in God's mouth.Ever wonder why we have all these different denominations that have different beliefs about the scripture. It's because we have drifted away from the teacher. THE HOLY SPIRIT! The Holy Spirit always backs up Jesus and everything he did. There aren't 52 different ways to interpret any given scripture there is only one. God's interpretation. After all there is one God, one baptism, one saviour and one divine truth.The Holy Spirit is not confused about what the Read more:Christian
Internet Marketing. What Does And Doesn't Work 2007-04-05 00:10:00 Let's talk a little more about the experiences I have had with Internet
marketing online. In the interest of saving you some of the anguish I have had trying some of these methods. I am assuming you have an affiliate program that has given you a link and you are wondering how to market it. The first thing you may want to do is buy a domain name and forward your affiliate program link to it. Even better if you have a blog. Marketing
your blog url is liked much more by the search engine spiders.Safe listsOne of the first things I tried was safe lists. These are little groups of people that agree to receive emails from each other about affiliate programs they are in. There are literally thousands of them out there one can join for free. It then becomes a game of "Hey you join my program" and then they reply with " No thanks, I have a program but hey you join mine". Well you get the point here. Unfortunately I can't say this is a very effective way to find sign ups for your program. Also Read more:Internet Marketing
Internet Marketing. What Does And Doesn't Work? Part 2 2007-04-15 01:41:00 Welcome back to our discussion on my experience of internet marketing. I will assume you read my first article and we will pick up where I left off. I only will talk about things I have tried personally.Blogs And Blog CommentsAs I have written before about blogs the spider engines love to crawl them for content and you stand a much better chance of achieving higher rankings with a blog than a traditional website. Blogs are a lot like forums and allow you to become part of a community of others blogs with similar niches. Commenting on other blogs and asking intelligent questions is an effective way to build back links to your blog. Only market yourself this way when you can be the solution to a question or problem posed by another blogger.Having a "my blog network" list right on your blog front page will attract other bloggers to be a part of your network. Posting frequently to your blog will have the search engines visiting often. Blogger.com even pings your posts automatically for you Read more:Internet

Tithing or God's Grace. Which Prospers You. Part 3 2007-04-17 00:55:00 For years we have been taught that the way to prosper was by our giving. I submit to you it is by a deeper relationship with Jesus. Jesus will tell you what you need to do to prosper. The fact of the matter is still that everything you hear on Christian television says that it is according to your tithing and how much we give which causes you to prosper." If you don't sew you won't reap " is what they try to say. The trouble is most of the scriptures they use are being lifted out of their setting making them say something that they are not at all talking about. They also use mostly old testament scriptures which were directed to servants of God who weren't born again. God treats his sons and daughters who have the nature of Christ in them a lot different than his old testament saints who had a death nature. The first point you may want to consider is what Jesus said in Matthew 6 "look at the birds of the air; they don't sew or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Fath Read more:Grace

God Idea Or Just A Good Idea 2007-04-30 05:45:00 Are you doing things for God or are you doing the things of God? Does it seem odd to you that churches are always building new church buildings, buying sound systems, or starting programs they can't seem to afford. Every Sunday they spend more and more time grinding out offerings and perverting scripture to crank out the bucks for these projects.Then they insist God told them to do it.What we need to understand is there is the permissible, and the perfect will of God. It is possible to do programs or ministries that WE have invented to do. Don't get me wrong God will bless it as far as he can. You can't give a cup of cold water in his name and lose your blessing. I believe that ministries that the Lord is truly behind and leading you into, and that are in the perfect will of God, will be supernaturally financed by God. There will be no need for begging, whining, or sending out appeal letters for money. Where the Lord leads the Lord provides.I know of a teaching ministry who began
Blog Tagging. What's It All About? 2007-05-09 16:22:00 Ok. Maria did this tagging thing with me. She doesn't know either who started the game, but it's a fun and creative way to get links back to your blog. If you get tagged, expect to write a post giving your reasons for blogging, include a link back to the person who tagged you, then tag 5 other bloggers. Personally I blog to get readers to my site and to build friendships. I hope you respond to this tag game. Read more:Tagging
My Cheating Wife. Email Told The Story 2007-06-12 13:25:00 After 7 years of marriage you'd think I'd be beyond suspecting my wife of cheating. You'd think I wouldn't dare go reading her private email. It seems that's not the case at all. Maybe it is because she is such a little hottie most of me can't figure out what's she is doing with me anyway (go to my blog for proof).Oh sure I was handsome a few years back but lately at 46 I'm feeling not so attractive. She is 34 and in her prime. I know men are hitting on her daily.So there I was snooping through this thing called facebook that she was a member of for some reason. I know her passwords so it wasn't that hard to gain access. Although I don't really get what it is all about it seems to me it's some kind of sleezy single site. Red flag number one.Checking her inbox I read through a couple of her emails from her co-workers. Just looking for something incriminating I guess. But WAIT! Who is this Shane guy. It seems he is coming to town and wants to maybe meet her for coffee. I coul Read more:Cheating

"NO THANKS" he said "I have a REAL JOB" 2007-07-31 20:39:00 In this day and age should we have a home business or put all our confidence in the traditional good paying job?I emailed a potential prospect the other day with an invitation to join me in my home business and he e-mailed me back. "No thanks"he said" I have a real job" boasting as though having and working a home business was foolish and a waste of time.Well I have a real job too I thought to myself. I own my own window cleaning business. Although my window cleaning is very profitable I still have to be there to make it fly. If I don't go to work the money stops. I guess I could hire employees but why be bothered with that hassle.Yet still I am my own boss and I set my hours and to a certain extent my rate of pay. Personally I love the freedom it gives me. I can take any day off I want too. Far better than working for someone else.So this guy has a " real job " What exactly does that mean I pondered. I say it means "Just Over Broke". You see the company tells him when to show up and
