Rewarding The Internet Marketer's Spouse

Written by Joe Bingham


Continued from page 1

Whoa! Yes, I've been accused! Now, honestly, if there was a way a man could make money by doing nothing but sitting in front ofrepparttar computer all day looking at naked women, I'm SURE that program would get a LOT of recruits, but until that happens...

Ahem. Anyway, uh... What was I saying?

It doesn't seem to make any difference that I make money at it either. No matter how much time I've spent trying to explain it to people, most of my conversations usually end up with me shying away from job offers.

My wife is very understanding, though, and to her credit she really has stuck by me. For that, she deserves a just reward.

Inrepparttar 121617 very beginning, I convinced her to look atrepparttar 121618 Internet as an investment because I was spending money and not making any. In fact,repparttar 121619 Internet remained inrepparttar 121620 'investment' category for about seven months. That's hard on a wife. Especially considering I had told her I would have all our debts paid off inrepparttar 121621 first three. Yes, as a newbie I fell long and hard forrepparttar 121622 hype of how easy it all was. I owe her for that statement as well, and I will reward her.

Whilerepparttar 121623 Internet is now running inrepparttar 121624 'profit' category, there is still a desire and a growing need to boost it allrepparttar 121625 way up intorepparttar 121626 'wealth' category. My business is growing, and making more each month so I know I'll get there. However, I'm not yet torepparttar 121627 point where my money alone will shutrepparttar 121628 mouths of allrepparttar 121629 skeptics.

But by golly, I CAN'T WAIT until I am!

For my wife's sake, of course.

No, seriously, I am a nice guy. I'm not going to ridicule those that ridiculed me. I'm not going to shun those that shunned me. I understand why they view merepparttar 121630 way they do. I know they don't really comprehend what I'm doing and so I understand their skepticism and their criticism of me.

Therefore, when I do reachrepparttar 121631 'wealth' category, I'm not going to thumb my nose at anyone. I'm not going to painfully remind them of how they mistreated me inrepparttar 121632 past. Heck, I'm not even going to gloat in my 'not working for a boss, self earned wealth'.

I'll just let my wife do it.

Ha! Ha! There's your reward, baby! You go girl!!!

Pass this one on to your spouses everyone. Let them know their reward is coming. Then let's all push our marketing intorepparttar 121633 'wealth' category and enjoy it with them.

I know this ain't church, but there's only one thing that can be said to that...

Amen!

The entrepreneur's survival list

Written by Godfrey Heron


Continued from page 1

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by chance but never developed it as a useful drug. TEN years later, two scientists unearthed Flemings *mold* , SAW ITS POTENTIAL, and started treating patients in wartime England. This was a dramatic medical advancement and saved thousands of lives.

So don't wait around trying to develop a unique IDEA. Instead you should identify a Unique Selling Position (USP) in order to distinguish your product from your competitors.

6. Critical Mass - "SIZE MATTERS"

For online businesses which operate from your basement or from a motor home, it certainly helps to look bigger than you really are. There's a certain comfort in dealing with a business that seems established.

You should try to establish 24 hour customer service. Even if it means answeringrepparttar phone at your favorite watering hole. Just try to get away fromrepparttar 121616 background noise.

Having a separate business line is critical. Attempt to inform your family that ifrepparttar 121617 business line rings it should be answered in a professional manner. You really don't want your loved one picking uprepparttar 121618 line inrepparttar 121619 middle of closing a deal to remind you to take outrepparttar 121620 garbage.

Have a logo developed for your business, there are several sites available that will create a logo for you. Or find a student from a good graphic design school to create one. Use your logo consistently, on all your stationery, packaging and other corporate communications.

Take advantage of any local business incubators, these operations offer affordable, flexible leases for start ups. They will provide anything from office furniture and equipment to business plans and high speed Internet access. Historically businesses in an incubator stand significantly higher chances of surviving.

You can get free publicity for your business by contacting local news media and selling your company as a human interest story. There are many periodicals looking for businesses to profile.

Get your name on TV. We have all seen those morning shows with live outside feeds. A poster board you hold up in front ofrepparttar 121621 camera may get you more publicity than a 30 second commercial.

And finally, if you have a web site, ensure you haverepparttar 121622 ability to process credit cards. Most Internet transactions use credit cards to complete a purchase.

CONCLUSION

The preceding list just scratchesrepparttar 121623 surface of an entrepreneurs "to do list". The Internet is awash with information and you can drown yourself in web sites, magazines and secret membership sites, and still not learn anything. Why? The Internet is a new and ever changing phenomenon. Advice that seems fundamentally sound today can be completely wrongrepparttar 121624 next day.

However, you can learn from bothrepparttar 121625 successes and failures of others and be guided by their experiences. Remember that no matter what you do, you will never achieve much success unless you have happy customers, happy workers and happy suppliers. That means you must have a company that is perceived as friendly, especially inrepparttar 121626 area of customer service.
