Now is time to renew your marketing efforts. Can you combine those lazy, hazy days with a renewed effort? If you can, lost opportunities of others might just come your way.

Might you slow down a bit? Sure, if you do it right, and remember your short term and long term goals. Maybe you should investigate advertising in publications you hadn't tried in past. You should consider running multiple ads with different copy in ones you are already using. How about using an auto-responder in those ads. This will ensure you get back to an inquiry right away, and you can do follow-up at your leisure.

Why not put a form on your website(s) to handle inquiries? Through use of checkboxes, you can immediately categorize your potential customers requests. By using a mail package such as Eudora, you can then automatically respond with a "canned" response that is tailored to their request.

Will some of your prospects also be running at a slower speed? Of course, and this is why you must redouble your efforts. Don't forget that thousands upon thousands of new prospects get web access every day. They are hungry for information, and might just be looking for type of opportunity you offer.

These "Internet Newbies" are like a fertile field that you can harvest during summer. Bitten by prospect of earning money on Net, they are viable candidates that you will lose if you don't vigorously pursue them.

I know that with press of things we have to do it is easy to slack off. Much of your competition will succumb to those "Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer", and if you take advantage of their inactivity, you just might be pleasantly surprised at results.
