Has something been bothering you about your sales letter? Take this time to fix it up or have someone take a look and make recommendations.

Have you been eager to set up a couple different bonuses and re-order and test different sales letters? What a pain! But now you have time to get your split-test set up for when buyers come marching back to your site and tire-kickers go back to wherever they usually surf.

How about $12,000 worth of marketing materials you own that are taking up gigs on your hard drive? Might be a good time to get away from monitor, print some of best stuff out, and study with a real highlighter and paper for a change.

You have NO IDEA how much you missed in last ebook you bought! If you are like most people - you skimmed for best stuff and missed a whole heap of things you might just be able to put into action in time for pendulum of sales to swing back your way.

The point is, when you get into a slump you need to take time to take stock of your assets that you can pull out and turn slump into an advantage.

I bet if you get out of your daily routine tomorrow and start looking around your hard drive at all unfinished business, ebooks, reports, articles (How many articles can you write before war is over? Make it a challenge!). You will find yourself happily getting caught up and ready for wave of sales that will happen when current turmoil is over.

Start fresh with a good spring cleaning of your business. You will hit ground running when action picks up again. You will feel SO refreshed, and ready for action as a lean, mean, selling machine!

When I was laying out a lot of money to start up WebmasterTrafficTools.com and Power Linking, I was cash-poor but product rich. I traded for advertising like you wouldn't believe and found most people to be very open to methods of payment that didn't involve exchange of cash.

Take a look at your assets, all of them. Not just money you have in bank. Evaluate what you have to offer people in exchange for services or other products. Thinking in terms of "How can this person help me achieve my goals if I help them achieve theirs?" will go a long way in internet marketing.

You cannot do it alone. No one has. The next time you see a new Mark Joyner product released, think about web of people and partners he has behind him helping him develop, release and market that product. His name might be only one on product itself, but there are others who he has developed partnerships with, in his case on a grand scale, who help him develop and move his products.

All of our JVs for Power Linking typically get additional commissions over our affiliates. Don't hesitate to offer more to partners because they will typically outsell an entire affiliate force if they are well-connected, have huge lists of customers, and have established a presence on web.
