4. Build Your "Smart" Network!

Build a strong positive relationship with other businesses and marketers. But, be very selective about who you join forces with.

Find out which successful marketers possess same values and qualities as you do, and offer to joint venture with them.

Joint venture, in my opinion, is still best way to grow your business quickly and cost-effectively! Make full use of it. Most successful people will be more than happy to help you out. Take advantage of that. Ask for joint ventures. Ask for testimonials. Ask for help!

And help them back in return, whenever possible.

5. Nurture Your List!

Build a strong positive relationship with your prospects and clients!

Keep in touch with them regularly. Help them, guide them, protect them! Earn their respect and trust. Treat them as you would treat your friends.

If nothing else, send them some useful tips occasionally to help them reach their goals quicker.

And sell to them! Most marketers don't sell to their lists often enough. If you're offering them quality products they can benefit from, you're providing them with a great service!

If you truly believed that a certain product would greatly benefit a friend, would you tell them about it? Of course you would! Treat your prospects and clients same way. They'll be grateful to you for doing so!

Whenever possible, keep in touch with them on a regular basis, and build a strong positive relationship with them.

6. Keep Moving Forward!

Keep trying and testing so you can continue to improve and grow.

If things are going just as you planned, don't stop improving and growing. Continue to strive for better and better!

If something doesn't turn out exactly like you wanted it to, learn from it and move on. Because you now know what 'doesn't' work. You're way ahead of someone who's not trying at all due to fear of failure.

There's really no such thing as failure as long as you learn from it and improve what you're doing next time around. Each failure is in fact another step towards success, towards your goals.

Remember, there is no such thing as failure! If you fall down, you can always get up and try something else. Falling down is not failure; staying down is.

Keep moving forward and don't ever stop!

If you focus on these 6 pillars consistently and use them to build your business, you will always end up at top, leaving your competitors in dust!

See you at top!

Sincerely,

Bryan Kumar

Remember what a picture’s worth. Photographs add interesting elements to your piece—as long as you use something more creative than traditional “smiling head” shots. If you choose not to use a full-color format, keep in mind that photographs reproduce best in shades of black.

Don’t ignore details. Triple-check spelling and grammar. Typographical errors can quickly damage your credibility and distract your reader. In addition to running document through spelling and grammar checkers, have someone proofread it—preferably someone who hasn’t seen article before. He or she will be more likely than you are to catch any errors.

Include a feedback mechanism. Make it easy for readers to respond by including a contact name, phone and fax numbers, and postal and e-mail addresses.

Cost Cutters

Looking for ways to cut your newsletter costs? Here are a few tips:

Team up with another business that reaches out to similar prospects. Split content—and cost—of newsletter.

Run your rough design by your local post office. Sometimes, simple size changes can cut postage costs.

Get prices from at least three printers, and let them know you’re soliciting multiple bids for job. Competition can help you get a better price.

Offer an e-mail option. This allows you to save on postage and printing, but send it only if customers ask. New laws are cracking down on unsolicited e-mail.

We’ve found newsletters to be a great marketing mechanism. Keep in mind, if you have truly timely news, you can turn your newsletter into a subscription based newsletter. This can lead to another cash flow source.

We have used newsletters as both a marketing mechanism and a cash flow source.
