Be serious about your return on investment for every dollar you spend.

2. Look at your revenue.

How do you make your money? What can be done to improve product or service? Are you diversified? Can you add additional revenue streams?

Set some revenue goals. How much do you want to make this year? Break it down into monthly, weekly and daily figures.

How much do you have to sell or what do you need to do to meet that number?

Lay it all out for next 365 days and go ahead full speed, don't let anything stop you and you'll be amazed where you end up!

============================= That's Right, Create an Action Plan! =============================

Take your revenue and expense information and put it together.

You will not succeed without a clear cut plan of action with daily, weekly and monthly goals. Set your goals in concrete, post them where you can see them every day, next to computer, on fridge, whatever it takes!

Take time to do it properly, just once.

Do yourself a favor. Prove you are one of fittest, destined to survive online!

Make some money in 2002!

Happy Marketing!

This is especially important for those who operate article, e-book and ezine sites. I personally have visited many of these sites and was shocked to find they had no categories for consumer protection or Internet safety. Visitors look to these sites in order to find detailed information they need to make wise buying decisions. While consumer advocates CAN still post their information, they are forced to place it in such categories as “nonfiction” and “general”. The poor consumer is then forced to dig for or accidentally trip over information in order to find it.

Here are three sites that do fight war on unethical business practices and provide easy to find consumer protection and Internet safety education information. In my opinion, they deserve your business.

eBook Palace http://www.ebookpalace.com/cgi-bin/search/hyperseek.cgi

The International Council of Online Professionals (iCop™) http://www.i-cop.org/directory/index.htm

eBooks N' Bytes http://www.ebooksnbytes.com/ebooks.shtml

So by simply adding a consumer protection and Internet safety information (or a link to a consumer advocacy site) in an easy-to-find place, you can help fight war on unethical business practices. By doing so you increase your own consumer confidence and sales.

Either we stand up and fight for our consumers, educate them and enlist their help in war against unethical business practices, or continue to loose sales because consumers are afraid to buy online. The decision is yours.
