Just remember that if you would like to use your blog to start a business, you will need to spend a bit more time and find a lucrative niche market instead of just setting up a blog about something that you love to do. So as to make money with your blog you have got to ensure that there are enough other folks that are ready to spend money on the niche you pick. To try this simply sign up to Google Adsense, they’re going to place advertisements on your blog related to the subject of your blog. Whenever somebody clicks on one of the advertisements you’ll get paid a commission. The amount of money you make will not be a lot, but what the hey, if you’re just blogging for fun anyhow making a little more cash each month is just gravy!

Another thing to bear in mind, again this recommendation will bear on any sort of blog whether it’s’s a private or business blog, is to make sure that you stay on subject with your blog readers. If your blog is about gardening you don’t want to start writing about stitching for instance. Remember, people will come back to your blog again and again again because they have an interest in the topic of your blog. If they are reading a blog about gardening then they need to read about gardening. Give your readers what they desire. By following this easy blogging advice you may be be up and prepared to blog in almost no time. It’s a nice way to express your opinion, make some money, share your knowledge, or just have a great time.

Well, I’m here to tell you that there are some simple steps you can take NOW to help your business for the long term and an Autoresponder is one of those ways! An autoresponder is an online program that takes a prewritten email message or series of messages that you’ve created and sends it out automatically when someone signs up either via email or a web form.

That sounds a whole lot more complicated than it really is. So let me give you examples that might work in various aspects of your direct sales business to help you see how easy this really is:

Lead follow up and tracking.
Do you advertise either online or offline? With an autoresponder you can put an email address into your advertisement and when one of your potential customers/recruits emails you to find out more about your company, they are automatically sent your initial packet of information instantly. Take it one step further and you can even put a different email address into each ad, making it easy to track which ads are producing results.

Lead Generation.
Do you have a coupon or e-book that you can give away to potential new customers or recruits? Set it up in your autoresponder and create a web form (all free with most systems) that you can place in your blog or on your website. Then just add a quick statement of “Request more information on my business today and receive a free gift” sending interested prospects to your autoresponder where the gift and the information are sent to them automatically!

Downline newsletters.
If you’ve built a team of distributors under you, you’ll want to stay in contact with them regularly. An autoresponder can do that easily, first with a “welcome to my team” email and then later as you broadcast your team newsletter through the list.

Help your new consultants get off to a great start in their new business with a series of email training messages geared toward those days when they are waiting for their starter kit. It’s a great way to keep the enthusiasm high during those first days!

Is there a specific area in your direct sales business that seems to generate the same questions from all the distributors in your group? Set up another series of emails specific to that business topic and set up your team members there as the questions come in.

Leadership communication.
As your direct sales business grows you’ll promote leaders from your team. Set up a series of emails congratulating them on their promotion and encouraging them in their new role as leader. Many people in direct sales have no idea what it means to lead a team of their own and you can set up a system to get them trained and equipped as well. and have it work for you continually.

Customer newsletters.
Stay in contact with your customers by using an autoresponder series just like you do with your downline. Have a welcome series for new customers to keep your name and information in front of them.

Customer classes.
Set up a series of emails that highlight a product of the month from your product line, or an email class on how to use some of your products.

Contests
Set up a series of contest emails for either your customer base or your downline. For instance, have a “scavenger hunt” through your catalog and use the autoresponder system to create the excitement over a series of days.

I’m guessing that most of you, unless you’re brand new to direct sales, have much of the information for many of the above ideas already in your computer somewhere. With an autoresponder it’s just a matter of transferring that information into the system where it can work for you, even when you’re off doing other things. Give it a try. Many autoresponders have a free trial offer so you can check out how they work before you take the plunge. but after just 6 months of using it with my own direct sales business, I can tell you it’s well worth every penny!

The Autoresponder Code

Launching a profile under your business name is a huge mistake and you will find that the profile has a very short life due to it being pulled. Yet many people still try to launch personal profiles under their business name be warned that you could spend a great deal of time and effort building up that profile only to have it shut down in the end. You may see friend requests coming from businesses and wonder “well they’re doing it why can’t I?” Believe me when I say they are only there because Facebook hasn’t caught up with those profiles yet and it is only a matter of time before they do. In order for things to work out well for all involved you must launch a profile from an actual person’s name. Then you can reach out to the community and try to express what it is that you offer but you must do it tastefully. Sure it makes it a bit more difficult to send someone a friend request from a person rather than a business but this is how Facebook keeps things as clean as possible in order to receive additional rounds of funding.
So What Business I’m Doing

But the stroke of genius was that Bill negotiated two additional clauses into the agreement with Big Blue.

1. That he could form one to one relationships with the users of his software introduced by IBM and sell them updates
2. That he could approach any other computer hardware producers and offer them the same deal.

The rest, as they say is history.

Just about every personal computer on the planet from that day forward was bundled with the Microsoft operating system. The beauty of the arangement was that once the partnership deals were done, Bill could sit back knowing that he would benefit from every marketing dollar IBM or anyone else spent.

His business grew exponentially. The production, packaging and shipping costs of the digital products he sold were and are low. He had in fact come up with a business model which many have tried to replicate with lesser success.

This type of integrated marketing works just as well today for a company of any size. You too could build your business quickly and cost effectively in just the same way. Perhaps its time you gave it a try!

Long copy sales letters convert more prospects into buyers by as much as 40% over shorter texts.

That does not give you an excuse to write hypey text full of ’salesy’ exaggeration.

Good sales copy is a story which focuses with laser like accuracy on the readers pain, frustrations and longing. Good sales copy is packed tight with killer verbs and short sentences. Not one word is wasted. The text is dynamic and moves quickly along. It is super-glued to the facts.

The jaundiced prospect in the ‘Make Money at home internet marketing space’ may still skim through the sub headlines to the price at the bottom of page 23. That is if you are still driving traffic using traditional PPC campaigns or poorly written email copy. They’ll just bounce on to the next silver bullet.

If you really want to seduce him or her into buying just turn your sales copy on its side. Go horizontal. Spin your story out over days or weeks. Tease your readers interest. Use mental triggers to create buzz and anticipation until finally they get to launch day. Then your shopping cart opens and BOOM!… Hungry buyers are whipping out their credit cards in seconds. They’re convinced. They know all they need to. They hit the order button on page 23 without reading a word of your carefully crafted sales copy.

No need… They have confidence in your company Value Proposition. You are obviously the go-to guy in your niche. You have answered every objection and delivered a crushing offer. They’d be mad not to take it.

Take the time to strike up a conversation. Be like-able and respond to the comments on your blog. Above all, be yourself. Give your prospects time to get to know you. They would far rather do business with someone they like and respect than be dumped on some stranger’s sales page.
