Tell everybody you know what you do and give them your business card.
Give them a few extra ones so they can give to people they know or in case they lose them or if they can give it to anybody who can be interested.
Use Magnets, Posters, Flyers and Postcards
If you can afford it, print some fridge magnets and give them away to all people you know. For a certain reason, we do not like to drop magnets in the rubbish bin, we put them in the fridge, people like to collect them. Business cards are easier to lose. They are not that expensive anyway.
Another good way to promote your business is through posters and business cards. Put up posters where your niche market is. Leave some flyers or postcards where your potential consumers may go. For example: If you are an expert in children consider leaving postcards at children doctors’ practices, schools, children activities centers.
Drop some cards in public places or events where your potential buyers or website visitors may be.

21 Jan 09 To Make Money is Crucial to Leverage Your Sales
| Leverage Your Sales is Critical to Your Success |
|
We often talk leverage. In business, how you leverage each function of your business will differentiate whether you just scrape by or make massive profits.
If you can make an advertisement generate 100 leads instead of 20; get clients to purchase 5 times per year instead of 3; upsell clients to a $3,000 ‘package’ instead of the standard $1,500 offer; develop a referral process that generates 1.5 new clients per client.
These are examples of leverage. And this is where massive hidden profits exist in your business. How well you leverage your sales is critical to your success.
Advertising and marketing is one of the biggest cost bases in small business. The money you spend to aquire new clients directly impacts your bottom line profit. If it costs you $1,000 to acquire to new client worth $1,500, you make $500 bottom line profit.
If you can reduce the cost to acquire that client from $1,000 to $500, you have effectively DOUBLED your bottom line net profit.
If you extrapolate that across your business you can effectively double your net income almost immediately. You can easily move from $30,000 income, to $60,000, to $100,000. Simply by improving this one stage in your sales process.
This is the power and importance of selling. Consider the evolution of experts in their field. Think of Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dwyer, Jay Abraham, Stephen Covey and Michael Gerber, for example.
How did these experts become experts? How did they become so successful? What’s their greatest point of distinction? There’s no doubt these experts have high technical competence.
But their technical competence was NOT the driver behind their extraordinary success. They each started at a level of technical competence comparable to their peers. It was their ability to SELL their service that was (and still is) their greatest point of distinction and key business growth driver.
Being highly proficient at selling their services allowed them to:
· Build their client numbers; · Identify the challenges, needs and desires of their clients; · Grow in technical competence in areas desirous to clients; · Develop niche services and products aligned to client needs; · Build brand recognition; · Sell more effectively.
This growth cycle is underpinned by the differentiating ability AND WILLINGNESS to master selling. Only by selling effectively were they able to identify the needs of their niche; expand their technical competence in these areas; and develop highly desirable services and products. You’ll find it very difficult to build a successful business if you attempt to lead business growth with technical competence. Taken from the LCIA e-zine |

21 Jan 09 To Make Money Start Doing What You Want
To Make Money Do not aim for perfEXION, aim for perfACCION
Finding what we want to do is one of the hardest things. Once we find what is what we like to do I have found that people start facing a terrible procrastination next stage.
We start doing 100 different things before getting started. We say things like “we are doing our homework”, “we are doing our research”, etc. What we are really doing is finding excuses to get started. Believe me you will always find more and more things to do before and you will never start.
Do not aim for perfEXION, aim for perfACCION. Start doing now!
Remember, if you know what is what you want to do then you can become a product yourself just the way you are!
If you are worried about the competition as long as your product offers value, it doesn’t matter how many similar or better products are out there in the market.
You will start doing what you really like so you are aiming to be the best. You are already better. You will have clients because you are -will become- an expert on that topic.
People always want advice from the experts. If you have a tooth ache, who do you go to see to feel better? You go and see the dentist who is specialised in teeth. You are now specialised in your area so feel free to start helping patients in pain!
Remember, if you continue procrastinating you are just preventing the others from what we have to offer!
The question is: Do you believe you can benefit someone with what you have to offer?
If the answer is yes, then do not wait and get started. Do not waste your time looking for more excuses. You are delaying your way to making money online and helping the others with what you have to offer.

type of Network Marketing product or service. The concept of moving goods
through an army of independent distributors has earned its place in the marketing
world despite the negative publicity suffered by the industry.

21 Jan 09 How to Make Money with Residual Income
Many people make money with Residual Income.
Recurring Income is another term for residual income. In a nutshell, there are three (3) types of income streams that you may have coming into your business.
1. If you do a one-time job, sale or perform a contract, you get paid once
and the income stops there.
2. If you do a normal 9 to 5 job, you will continue to get paid as long you
continue to work for your employer—often called a linear income. This is
the type of income that the majority of workers “enjoy.” Even if you are a
neurosurgeon, lawyer or engineer, you are only paid as long as you
continue working. You stop working and the bank account dwindles.
3. The third type of income is the recurring income where you are paid
even after you have stopped working. For example, you wrote a book and
as long as your book continues to sell, you will continue to receive royalty
income for a work done once.
Majority of rich and affluent people created wealth through a form of recurring
income stream. Take singer Michael Jackson for example; he still continues to
receive royalty from the sales of his records made decades ago. He can even
repackage the same oldies and sell them to generate new income. He doesn’t
have to spend time in the studio to record new songs in order to have the cash
keep flowing in! This is the most ideal situation of the three. We would all like to
work once and get paid over and over again. That is the power of recurring
income!
The majority of professionals that enjoy this type of income belong to the creative
fields such as actors, writers, singers, and inventors.
In this Internet era people are looking for ways to make recurring income as well.

15 Jan 09 To Make Money Having a Brand is Important
| How to build your brand to make money |
| A brand will still be associated with your business in the minds of your prospects and customers. To build a truly powerful brand for your business you must connect your brand to a higher purpose.
You’ve got to be focused on bringing a greater experience; a greater sense of exclusivity; a greater amount of joy; a greater sense of prestige, of pride, of fulfillment (or whatever element of promise your brand is designed to do or deliver) to the market. In other words, your brand must be intrinsically connected to the needs of your niche!
If your brand is the sum total of all that you and your business does, and your niche is your clearly defined target group, how then do you align or position your brand is such a way that when faced with a choice your prospect chooses you instead of your competition?

2. Spreads your voice across the world
A website can be your global “tribune” where you are able to share your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with people who have common interests, but with whom you might not otherwise have crossed paths. A very popular idea-voicing tool is the discussion board, better known as “forum”. You can also have a guestbook on your site, where people can discuss your postings.
3. Lets you be in touch with people at a distance
A website can be a meeting place for making new acquaintances with people of different religion, nationality and age, as well as for keeping in touch with friends who may be on the other side of the world.

5. Creates a web skill development environment

7. Makes you a member of the biggest community of the world
A website is a must-have personal attribute nowadays, just like mobile phones and computers are. The fast developing technologies have converted having a website from a whim into a modern necessity. As of today, almost everyone has a web site, whereas twice as many people are expected to be having their own personal space in the global World Wide Web cosmos in the near future.
