These type of headlines CrAcK me up….
WARNING:This is not for the Get Rich Quicker- They simply do not have the Patience or Attention Span…lol…seriously though… they probably don’t.
This is not a Comprehensive List by any means, but it’s a pretty good start……wait, I take that back……it’s actually a “Great” start………and it should be Viewed as a kind of “To-Do List” for Newbies and all the way up to Intermediate Marketers.
Many circles would consider this Blog as no less than a COMPLETE MARKETING PLAN for the Marketer out there in Internet Land who wants to FULLY LEVERAGE the Internet and do some off-line (not internet related) stuff too, so that they can build a POWER HOUSE BUSINESS and nothing short of that…point blank!
Okay, so I am guessing you already cheated and scanned this webpage all the way down.. Naughty.. Naughty … Naughty….wink:) and your thinking.. “Geeze Louis, Albert, this is a really long list of stuff to do” and your saying, “Albert, this is simply too much and it’s really overwhelming, why should I participate in all of these strategies?
I will simply respond by saying this, it would be Overwhelming if you thought you had to do it all in 1 week….but this can actually be done in parts and can be finished in about 6 months Wait Albert, you know the market changes dramatically every 6-12 months, so by the time I do it all, it will be completely useless… I say, “JUST Hold your Horses there.. Sir”, some changes will occur Of course that is to be expected, that is why you will see that I have explained over a dozen strategies in case some of them lose there touch……….
So, you should be forewarned I took that into consideration while I was writing this plan out. Remember though, there will be New Trends that come out that are very effective, which I will update from time to time….maybe, that is if you’re lucky.
……….Okay, enough Prefacing and Introductions. Here we go…I hope your “Ready to Roll”.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Be of Value through any MARKETING VEHICLE you use. This means be a provider of useful content that network marketers can use to have success in their business.
2. If you are doing that then it will allow you to Build a List. The best ways to build a list is to have an Opt In Form on a Capture Page or Blog, also you can create a another type of list by having a lot of friends and contacts on Social Networking Sites like MySpace, Better Networker, Facebook etc.
3. Share with your list the methods you use that work that are Free and Paid… solve peoples problems of getting leads and they will see you as a leader… remember many of them are either still bothering their friends and family and attacking anything alive within 3 feet of them, or are completely lost on the internet.
The Money is Ultimately in the List. Also, one more important thing..if you are new and you want to jumpstart everything while you are in the learning process..I understand , I have a couple of small fee type techniques that will start shooting leads (opt ins) your way..so that you can start earning money right now….
There are 3 Stages of getting someone into your business or to buy your product.
-Expose= Marketing to a targeted audience.
-Involve= Let them get to know you more by phone, email, webinars, articles, videos, social networking sites…etc. A lot of these methods are interactive.
-Upgrade= They buy from you or join you as you have now established yourself as a trusted source of info and you have developed a relationship.
You will build your business in essentially two ways; Offline and Online
Offline: Phone, Free Live Training Calls, Opportunity Calls etc…. Postcards are a nice touch.
Online: Videos, Articles, Ezines and Solo Ads, Podcasts, Press Releases, Classifieds, Blogs, Mini-Blogs like Twitter (text w/ links) and Utterz (Text, Audio, Video), Blog Pinging, Social Networking Sites, URL Submittal, Social Bookmarking and Bookmarkleting, RSS Feeds, E-Books, Free Live Training Webinars, Email Marketing (to your list from Opt-Ins or a Purchased List), Audios, and other Social Media Interfaces and Online Tools like Friend Adders and Screen Shot Programs etc.
Did some of those strategies seem like Alien language…lol.. do not worry or get stressed..you’ll learn with time…It’s about Mindset…You should be thinking..cool, there are a lot of strategies here and I will be exciting to learn and I will not feel overwhelmed.. because this is just like a table of contents to Marketing.. and all I really have to do is get pretty good a a few of these… and when I do that then I can learn new ones.
There are dozen’s of techniques, these are ones I currently use or might use in the future and No, you do not need to use all of them….
Both Online and Offline methods should be used to take a person through your Funnel via Opt-Ins, which Create Sales for you along the way in what’s called a “Funded Proposal”. …
So, essentially, your potential prospects pay you as they move further down your wide Funnel opening by entering at the top of your Funnel and at “their own speed” you “do not try to sell them”, they upgrade themselves..which brings them closer to your main program at the bottom of your funnel, ideally it is your residual program……
At the bottom of your funnel- your prospects become Laser Targeted, because this is where the huge opening on the Top of your Funnel eventually gets smaller and more targeted (look at the picture below)
- Prospects Enters your Funnel /Free
– Relationship is Developing /—-
— You Give “Value”, They /——-
—- Upgrade Themselves /—- Retail
—– by Purchasing Retail /———
—— Lastly, they Join /————-
——- Your Residual /—————
——— “Program” /——- Residual
As People move down through your funnel, you are Building Relationships & Building Your Business by Being Of Value to the People you are interacting with.
Automate the process as much as possible- so you will be fully optimized.

Okay Albert, but how can I make a Video?
-WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER click start, click programs, then accessories, it should be there. This is a VERY IMPORTANT tool for making Videos. (FREE)
-DIGITAL CAMERA get one to make your videos (ask the vendor how long it can record) 10 min is the YouTube limit. Canon, Nokia, and FLIP ($110) are good.
SEO is key when making videos as well as giving value in them, this is a video on search engine.

Can You Be Sure These Kind Of Vital Tips On Article Marketing?
Article Marketing is an advertising plan for businesses to write short articles that relate to their industry. The articles are released for free as a way to get more customers and increase the business credibility. You will be given many tips about article marketing that you can use in improving your company.
Write a great article with great content. The article directories will likely disapprove your submission if it is a blatant promotion of your product. You need to submit articles that add value for the reader and are likely to meet the criteria of the web searches that are performed.
One way to get the most out of article marketing is to write articles to help readers. Sharing expertise, revealing information and offering solutions to problems all help hold a reader’s interest and give him or her a good impression of the author. Helpful articles build their author’s reputation as a trustworthy source of information.
A great article marketing tip is to know where to look if you’re interested in getting new and unique articles. Forums can be a great place to look because there are usually very knowledgeable people that frequent them. You can approach these members and see if they’ll write articles for you.
Stay consistent by producing new articles over a long period of time. Some of your competition may only write a few articles, so the more articles you have out there, the more likely you are to be considered an expert in your niche. The more you get your business out there with unique content, the more readers you reach to drive the success of your business.
Always give your readers the best quality content. Your article marketing success depends on it. Instead of trying to just crank out a bunch of poorly-written articles that are light on content, try to come up with engaging titles and answer them in your articles with creative and useful information.
If writing articles is eating up too much of your already limited time, there are some tips you can use to improve your speed. Make sure you are comfortable before you begin writing. Are you seated comfortably? Are you hot or cold? Hungry or thirsty? Next, eliminate all distractions. If other people are conversing around you, move to another room. Turn off the TV and the radio. For optimal concentration, you should even turn off your cell phone. If your typing skills aren’t quite up to speed, take a typing class. Once you begin writing, don’t keep stopping to proofread. Get on a roll, and go with it. Proofread when you’re done. Finally, don’t obsess over time. Don’t watch the clock or think about how long it’s taking you to come up with the right words. This will only stress you out and make your writer’s block even worse.
Make sure that you realize that not ever article you right is going to be approved. This is important because you do not want to get your hopes up. Just do your best on writing the article. Make sure you have checked spelling and grammar, and take your time on it.
Even when you are stuck, there’s always something you can write about. If you are searching for content, consider the various activities you do in the course of the day–the problems you face, the solutions you use, the decisions you take. There’s bound to be some information of value there.
Know the research behind what you are writing. If you have spent time learning about your topic keywords, then your writing will come to you much easier and will take less time. If you are having to stop every few minutes to figure out what you are talking about, then you will be losing precious time and your article will show your lack of knowledge.
You have been given a lot of information about article marketing in this article. You can now take this advice and help your business improve it’s overall income level. Remember to remain calm, and let time work for you. You will not succeed if you are always rushing into things without thinking first.

What You Should Certainly Understand Before You Make A Choice About Article Marketing
If you’re looking for a new way to sell your products, you may want to consider article marketing. Article marketing is a great way to discretely promote products to readers. But what can you do to make sure your article marketing is a success? In this piece, we’ll give you the tips you need to accomplish your goals.
Avoid submitting articles with the same or similar titles. There is no way your article can seem unique, if it has the same title as another article. You must give each article a unique title and you must have five to twenty versions of the title for posting the article in different venues. Remember that you must always have your keyword included in your title.
Turn off your word count in your writing program so that you can focus on your content, instead of how far you’ve gotten. Write until you feel you’ve fully covered the topic of your article. If you give yourself a word cut off while you are writing, you may end up leaving out important content. Turn it back on after you are done and edit down to your needed counts.
Use the words “easy,” “new” and “results” in your article. These three words are extremely important in the world of advertising. Not only do they get readers to start paying attention to what you’ve written, they can also persuade them to become one of your customers. Be careful to only use them to accentuate what you are writing.
Use a question in your article title. Have good keywords too, and people will read your article just to find out the answer. Don’t let them down. If you pose a good question, back it up with a detailed answer and then write a lead-in to your product.
One of the biggest things to watch out if you are new to submitting articles to article directories is to make certain that your articles are not promoting your products or services. In fact, it is best to avoid promoting any product or service at all. Most directories have rules against this. Your article will be removed and you can be penalized.
Write articles for highly targeted keywords that are relevant to your product, even if monthly searches are less than 500. These keywords will be used in searches by readers that are much more targeted potential buyers, even if they are a smaller crowd. Don’t leave these good keywords and customers out in the cold.
After you have submitted your articles to a submission site, it’s okay to republish them on the web as a blog post. You can make small changes to the article if you desire, but this is not necessary. Search engines, such as Google, will know where the article was originally published.
Develop your own unique style while writing your articles. You want these pieces to highlight your personality so readers can get to know you. You also do not want to sound like another author because it could affect how much credibility you have in the business, negatively impacting your earning potential.
To connect better with your readers in an article marketing program, focus your article on solving a problem for them. This will give your article an overall purpose and theme, and it will be one that readers appreciate. Not only will a problem-solving article increase your rapport with readers, it will gently nudge them towards buying your products or services.
As we previously stated, article marketing is a great way to promote your products on the web. Now that you’ve read our article, you know how to use article marketing and apply it to your own products. If you follow our advice, then it won’t be long before you see the benefits of article marketing for yourself.

When And Why Should I Purchase More Wholesale Candles For My Retail Shop?
If you’re looking to establish a business with a low capital investment and great returns, stocking scented candles may be the right business for you. Wholesale candles are available for almost all of the popular candle styles. A retailer can restock or make a complete range of scented candles, tea lights and wax tarts in a plethora of scents, colours and styles. Candles are one of the fastest growing trends around the globe, for a good reason; they are relatively cheap and offer opportunities to enhance your home with minimal effort.
Candles have been around for more than 5,000 years and have became natural, premier products by advances in technology, producing, fragrances and much more. The latest trend in the gift industry is quality handmade soy wax scented candles. Sales of these is up at every level in the western world with each home you visit now with a collection from their fave brand.
The large variety of candles and materials used in candle making can make or break your business. Cheaper candles are often more dangerous and the lifespan is reduced incredibly. High quality candles are made to last longer, burn better, keep and throw the scent at an even rate and are less difficult to maintain than lower quality candles. You can do some fact finding for particular fashions of wicks, candles, fragrances on a candle maker’s website, most candle makers can be researched.
When should you buy more candles? If you are noticing an increase of interest and sales in your candles, it could be time to shift gear and push your sales. This may be a great time to load up and purchase more to offer your buyers. Certain brands, styles, scents, natural or petroleum based candles may sell more than the others. This could occur if you stock your store with credible items, popular fragrances, styles and kinds of products. Occasionally a slow period may occur and your sales may drop. Why? One reason out of a thousand could be the standard of the candles that you’re stocking, poor scents, low stock, regional economic issues, etc.
Some of these issues can be remedied, while the others are not so simple to unravel. You can jump from paraffin to natural candles to help drive clients to a “green” product. The manufacturer’s reputation can hurt or raise your sales. Find a top candle maker to purchase your supplies. New fashions of candles like adding jar candles or wax tarts can make your inventory more appealing to your current purchaser base. Stocking certain scents that are natural may offer a new dimension for shoppers to try. Especially effective for aromatherapy candles, where natural fragrances are in demand but synthetic materials now dominate.
In most economic climates, candles remain a popular item to buy. That is because of the undeniable fact that at hard times, people look for low cost treats to make them feel better about themselves. Your merchandise might include a mix of every kind of candles and styles to keep your business growing. This could not work if you’re a speciality shop offering organic, natural or homemade sort of shop and mass produced candles won’t be the answer. However handmade candles could well slot in with your ranges. Make certain you have adequate candles before your stock runs out and before the peak seasonal holidays begin. Having enough candles in your shop will keep purchasers coming back for more and may bring you fresh clients as word spreads about your quality ranges.
My guidance, stock the highest quality products, locally produced if possible and ask your pals, family and purchasers for what candle brands they’d like to see at your store. My personal faves are the ranges of scented candles, wax tarts, tea lights and other gorgeous products from Busy Bee Candles in Britain. Their products never fail to impress me and I am sure they’re going to help you build a top notch reputation and increase your sales!
