We will explore how and why this can happen. First we need to determine why the process begins in the first place.

According to Merriam Webster, what causes is ‘the reason for’. We need to understand what lies behind our decision

making process. This gives us a clear understanding of why we make decisions and what leads us to those

decisions. Here are some examples of the why and what leads to our decisions.

The ‘what leads to our decisions’ is ‘what lies behind our decision’.

This is the core of Understanding Why. A person makes a decision to do something because they believe that they

have a right to do it. There is a motive for this action. That is the reason that drives them to take that action.

A person’s belief is the underlying rationale that they use to justify what they do or don’t do. For example, a person

might make a decision to purchase a car without looking at the price or the features.

They are not thinking about the ‘what leads to their decisions’. Instead, they believe they have a right to make that

decision and that price is reasonable.

These beliefs are what are called, ‘External Reasons‘. Reasons are more like excuses. A person believes they have a

right to make the decision, but their belief is not anchored to anything real.

Their belief is more like a sail, it is only driven by the wind. And the wind is what I call ‘Internal Reasons’.

The Internal Reasons is the reason that is driving the decision.

The External Reasons are not anchored to anything’. The reason is driven by what a person wants to believe about

themselves or their situation. They believe they have a right to do something, but it’s driven by an External Reason.

It is true that we all have the same set of reasons why we do what we do.

And I will bet, that if you ask a hundred people who made a decision to do something and who didn’t make a

decision, you will get hundred different answers. And from those hundred people, you’ll find that half of them chose

to do something, while the other half chose not to.

So this is really a very simple, elegant way of explaining ‘The Human Factor’.

You will make a hundred different decisions every day without batting an eye, while other people will make a

hundred different decisions every day for as long as they live.

As a network marketer you will encounter differences in people.

And yes there are differences of opinion between you and your prospect.

But if you are willing to learn these differences of opinion and understand them, you will still be able to make a

sound decision.

* They think, I have a right to do it

* They don’t think, I don’t have a right to do it

I have put this together in such a way that anyone, who has the guts to open up their belief and say ‘this is what I

want to do’, will find a way to make it happen.

The key is in putting them down or putting them down with a decision.

Either you say ‘you’re right, I believe in what you say, let’s do it now’ or ‘you’re right, you don’t believe in what you

say, let’s wait till you gains more of a conviction’.

What I will say is you can sit here and say ‘you’re right’ all day long, but when the chips are down, the human factor

will make you change your mind.

But on the other hand, if you have the guts to come out and tell them what you are going to do, they will also have

the guts to say ‘I don’t believe in what you said, let’s wait till you gains more of a conviction’.

There is nothing hard to do, when you know the answer to why they think and choose differently.

It’s when you take the chance to educate them on what you believe, that’s when the problem starts.

You see, when you educate them, there are times that they’ll say ‘I don’t believe in what you said, I’ll wait till you

gains more of a conviction’ and then there are other times that they’ll say ‘I believe in what you said, now get to it!’

When the human factor is done right, you will gain the respect of your people.

You will win their heart and mind and you will be respected by them and by the industry.

What would I be expecting at a live internet marketing event?

I’m guessing not what I’m reading about on the net about a live event. I was going to attend one myself in Florida,

but it seems that there are too many people signing up and some of them are sending out their information… I get

that… what are the types of events I should expect?

Well first let me say that I know Icing-a-toi-a-toi and The Muleskinner are not the only live events going on and

some may be going on right now in your area. But let’s take an example of the event I’m going to tell you about.

This event is held at Fort Myers, Florida and is open to all online marketers. This is the premier event for those who

are just starting out in this industry. It’s a small fee of $49.00 to attend this event.

A member has this added to encourage new marketers to take advantage of this opportunity.

You will have a full suite of space and board, access to the training facility, and a chance to meet leaders from all

walks of life, etc. etc…

Here’s the fun part… the winner will receive one hundred dollars! Not a one time fee, but a monthly income.

This will be for those who attend and sign up for a two month auto-ship. IcingaToi’s wife and business partner, The

Muleskinner will be assisting the event to help ensure everyone has an enjoyable time.

This is for those who are new to internet marketing and want to learn more about this amazing industry.

I’m sure you’ve heard all about how this industry is booming! But now you can experience what others are

experiencing! Or you may have been involved but want to learn more about this incredible industry.

This is a great opportunity for you to join a growing industry. It is only one month old and is off to a great start!

The Muleskinner is also doing a monthly webinar to help each month’s members learn more about the internet

marketing industry. This is an additional bonus for those who attend.

All in all, the price for a membership is only $49.00 per month. And you are joining a growing organization!

You will be entered into a drawing for a one month auto-ship. You will have access to the whole training facility and

the two social events per month. This is only one small way of helping those you sign up. This is a great opportunity

to gain the knowledge and earn the income!

But what about the actual events? Well let me tell you about the latest one! It was held yesterday and the venue was

the beautiful Fort Myers Marina. They also have a monthly seafood and steak dinner held at a home.

Everyone had a great time! Everyone was friendly and made new friends. The cost was $40.00 per person.

The meal was great. It was a little pricey but well worth it!

It was my first time attending one of the events but I definitely plan to make this work. It is my belief that this

business is not about sales! But networking and developing relationships! If you want to make this work don’t sell at

the events and make new friends. Just get yourself connected to the new people you meet.

They will respect you and trust you. And it makes for a fun time. This business is about friendship and relationships.

The second event I attended was on Saturday. This one was in Orlando, Florida at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

The venue was a great place to meet some new people and even get to meet some friends.

The cost for this event was $25.00 per person. It was a small fee compared to the others but still a pretty expensive

lunch. The meal was good. It wasn’t outstanding but good. And the people you met are some of the most

fascinating and interesting people in the world. They are all incredibly successful and generous.

It was a fun day. Some really great people. There was a little connection with the other attendees and it was a good

vibe. But it is really not about the money. It is really about the friendship. There was a good number of people who

had never been to a networking event before and had an amazing time. But the main thing was that they were

friends and made new friends. Some may not have been interested in the food but they got to meet someone and

make a new friend.

The best tip I can give you in networking is that it is about getting to know the people you meet.

This is a business of building relationships. And the best way to do this is to be really open and be a sponge.

So come, see, eat or simply learn about it. But just like any business it is about the friendship.

What do you really need to know about internet marketing, SEO, blogging, press releases, social media, outsourcing

and getting a Google Page Rank? Then you’re in luck because this article is your cheat sheet.

I’m no PR expert but I am a web entrepreneur and marketer. I’ve done my fair share of writing, PR, blogging, social

media, SEO, and other forms of marketing on the internet. What follows is a run down of some common internet

marketing terms that will help you understand the basics of these technologies and what you need to know to

perform successfully.

An online social and online networking platform. Now, before you write me off as a crackpot, please hear me out.

As I have watched and played with this new media, I have observed that in the new media realm, companies will

have the ability to build a following like no other on the internet. Why? Because of what’s called the “syndicate”

effect.

On the internet, there’s a group of people who follow you and help you get new subscribers to your blog, for

example.

On a blog, there’s a little black book of subscribers. Sometimes, they post comments and become followers.

That’s the social aspect.

On the web 2.0, there’s a group of users who see your website and follow your posts.

You can build a following on the web 2.0 with content. That’s what Mark Zuckerberg was trying to do with Facebook.

There’s a group of subscribers to your website if you can deliver good content.

That’s what all companies want to do.

Why do people come to your website? If it’s because they’re interested in your product or service, it’s hard to

explain why they’d come to your website. However, you can discover why they’d come to your website by using

Google keyword analysis. Google keyword analysis shows you what words people are using to search for your

product or service.

* Enter a term or term or term here (examples: “baking”, “cooking”, “dental”, etc.) to see how people are searching

for that term

* You’ll notice that there are a lot of terms like “dental”, “cooking”, “home repair”, etc. They’re exactly the types of

terms that will generate a lot of traffic to your site. As you can see, even though you’re offering a particular service,

you’re able to uncover a lot of prospects for your business on the web 2.0.

In this example, in the first sentence, I’ve shown how people are searching for “dental” but there are lots of

alternatives. As I’ve started to write my post, I’ll see if I can’t include more examples of keywords that people are

using to find my site.

It is now time to tell you the real reason you’re going to want to use the keyword analysis tool.

If you use a web 2.0 tool, like the one I’m using in the example above, you can find a bunch of prospects for your

business that people are using the keyword “denting”. Now you’ll have a real competitive advantage over people

who don’t use a web 2.0 tool.

* People who don’t use a web 2.0 tool can’t see all the potential prospects that you’ve already tapped into.

By using the keyword analysis tool you’ll be able to see all the terms that your prospects are using to find you.

Because you’ve tapped into a lot of competing terms, you’ll be able to get a lot more traffic from people who are

looking for the exact thing that you are selling.

* Because you’ve tapped into more terms, you’re going to be able to charge more money than people who don’t use

a web 2.0 tool.

* And finally, a web 2.0 tool will help you gauge how much traffic you’re getting, whereas some people think that the

number of visitors is everything. The truth is that you’re going to want to see how many impressions your site is

getting, as this will help you gauge how profitable your site is going to be.

* Use the keyword analysis tool and see how many searches for your terms are going on in a given month.

Keep track of how many people’ve entered your site’s keywords in the search engines, and how many people are

getting results. What results you’ll get from each source.

* Then compare these numbers with how many people are seeing your website in an organic search result.

The numbers will tell you how effective your web 2.0 tool is.

The keywords tool is by far the best tool. You can use it to get a high level overview of your competition.

We highly suggest that you do so. It really helps you sort out which website you’re going to concentrate on, and

which you’re going to leave alone. The keywords tool has a lot of benefits for you. Here are just some of them.

* You get detailed stats of where each of your competitors’ sites rank in the search engines.

This gives you an idea on how to boost your own rankings. Also how many of each term are being used by your

competitors.

* You can see which terms are most profitable for your competitors and in which order. From these terms, you can

formulate a plan of action.

* The Google toolbar will give you the details of where your site is being clicked on.

The click map gives you the total amount of clicks on a certain term. This gives you an idea of how popular your

website is.

* Search engine optimization can even be done for your competition. By optimizing your competitors site, you’ll

boost your own ranking. This helps boost your own ranking.

* Search engine tool is also handy for checking your own links. Link analysis tool gives you a good idea on how to

boost the quality of your site. Check the amount of linked sites and links. This also gives you an idea on how many

links you have.

* You can use the keywords tool to boost your own rankings.

Also helpful tools for online marketers are the Google toolbar, the Keyword tool, the Backlink checker and the Pay

Per Click tool.

The Google toolbar is usually your best friend when it comes to marketing online.

This is because the Google toolbar gives you detailed stats of what each website in your list is doing.

You can also see how many visitors your site gets, how many links you have and how many people are clicking on

your links. It is always handy to see this data right?

The Google toolbar also gives you statistics about how many people are visiting the website.

You can check these stats in the Events tool.

The Keyword tool is another useful tool for online marketers. You can use the keyword tool to boost your rankings.

Keyword tool also gives you the ability to search for keywords.

You can enter a keyword, click on the search button and see how many sites that have been indexed for that

keyword also appear in the search engine.

This gives you an idea on how many people are doing searches for that keyword.

The Backlink checker tool is useful tool for online marketers.

You can use the Backlink checker tool to check the quality of the sites that you link to.

The tool shows you which sites are the top ranked for each keyword, how many links you have with those sites, how

many times the sites are linked to each other and the sources of the links.

As far as tools go, the Google toolbar is the best one. For those who do not know, the toolbar is a small add on

device that pops up when you right click on your PC. With the toolbar, you can search the internet and web for sites.

You can also create a new search by typing the keyword in the search box and then pressing enter.

You can also copy and paste the URL of a site in the search box. This is useful when you want to create a new link.

The toolbar is located on the right side of the screen.

A nice feature of the toolbar is that it shows you which sites have been liked, downloaded and then how many times

those sites are been accessed.

The last thing I want to talk about is the report. This report can be printed out and distributed to your clients as a

marketing tool. The report can be created by going to the reports tab.

This gives you the ability to add notes to the site and these notes are saved until you delete them.

You can also create a new report by going to the reports tab and typing the keyword in the search box.

You can also add keywords to the reports tab and search for notes on these notes.

The report tab can be useful in sharing your thoughts on a site or how you feel about a specific site.

The report tab gives you the ability to generate reports on any website. You can also print out the reports.

It is nice that you can print the reports because this will keep your marketing reports handy for reference.

There are many different areas in your life that could use a light bulb moment what could that be?

There is an easy way to start a home based business and I want to teach you how to start using it, then teach you

how to sell it, then teach you how to recruit better with it, then teach you how to build your business using the

internet.

It can start with simple steps and some easy to duplicate systems, if you want a light bulb moment to help you out

here are the three steps to have a lightbulb moment that is all.

1. Take proactive action

2. Put plan into action

3. Take action from plan

The first step is to identify the business that you have to work on. What business is it?

There are many things to choose from, you could have a project for example.

I know in my business I did not pick a business that I had to work on it was a lightbulb moment for me.

I did not pick a business to make money. All the businesses are different in that regard.

I did not pick a business to help me buy stuff, so it was hard to pick a business and start working.

After a while I decided to choose one that I could work on and that is what I have done.

The second step to have a lightbulb moment is to put a plan into action, the plan can be a system or you could put

in lots of testing and study, the important thing is to have a plan that you can follow to work on your business.

The third step to have a lightbulb moment is to take action from the plan.

So the first step is to identify the business that you have to work on, the second step is to choose a plan that you

can follow and the third step is to take action from the plan. In the third step you might need to do some more

research or you might need to learn some more. Remember that you must have a plan and a framework, a system

that you can follow to work on your business.

When you have the three steps to have a lightbulb moment it is like a light switch in your head, it does not have to

be long, if you have a good plan. I have been on the road for years and I have had times when I thought I was not

going to make it. After all these years and I still think the same way. It takes time to have a lightbulb moment.

If you do not have a lightbulb moment when you are not seeing results it will happen when you do see results.

When you do see results the light bulb moment will happen.

So you will start with little steps. It takes time to have a lightbulb moment.

The more steps you take the better chance you have of having a lightbulb moment.

It is like having your own little army of employees, you will get success because your employees do not quit.

When you do not have a lightbulb moment it will become harder and harder to get a lightbulb moment.

The reason I write this is because I see lots of people on the Internet making really good money.

I also see lots of people not making money because they give up. When you do not give up you will go home and

cry and say I have been tricked, I did not do that right.

The thing is, the light bulb moment does not come with effort. If you do not have effort you will not have a light bulb

moment. If you will give up it will happen. If you will not do it then it will not happen.

It is all about will and persistent people. You will make it, if you want it.

As I said, it does not happen instantly and you have to keep working hard.

If you are putting in your 20 minutes and you do not get results you need to rethink it.

If you are giving up you need to rethink it again and put in more effort.

If you will not do it you need to rethink it again and go home and cry and say I have been tricked, I did not do that

right.

If you do not have a light bulb moment it will not happen. It is not that hard if you have a good plan and an army of

employees who do not give up and who persist in their plans with persistence and hard work.

I love this quote from a wise man I met: “What is not designed is not done”.

They mean that you have started to think about something which has been sitting at the back of your mind ever

since you were a child and then you have said it aloud for the first time and then you have made it happen.

Have you ever started to think about something which was said to you when you were very young and then you

have said it aloud for the first time and then you have made it happen.

Have you ever had that moment when you are making the plan to do something and thought : ‘that is impossible, I

could never succeed’.

Then you have had a lightbulb moment – you have started to think about it aloud.

* Have you ever felt frustrated because you can’t turn a screw fast enough or tie a shoe loop tight enough or fold a

sheet of paper enough times or count to 200 enough times and then do it all accurately enough.

Well I have that same problem and I have said it aloud about it and I have made it happen.

Have you ever felt a bit lonely and wanted someone to talk to ? Well I have had that feeling about something and I

have spoken it aloud to someone else about it and they have made it happen.

This is the secret I have learned through experience. Have you ever had that moment when you have been working

on something and have thought to yourself, ‘I can’t wait to see it finished’.

Well I have had that moment about it and spoken it aloud to my wife about it and she has finished it all.

* Ever had that moment when you have been working on a computer game or website and have thought, ‘I can’t wait

to play this when it is done’. Well I have had that moment about something and spoken it aloud to my son and he

has played it all.

I have had all these moments in my life and the secret is to speak it aloud in your head to your subconscious mind.

* Ever have that moment when you have been working on a website and have thought, ‘it looks like a good business

idea’ and have spoken it aloud to my subconscious mind. Well I have had that moment about something and spoken

it aloud to my subconscious mind and it is turned into a business.

I have also made it happen from the subconscious mind to the conscious mind.

* I have had a light bulb moment about something and I have spoken it aloud to my wife about it and she has said

yes.

This is what I would do if I had a time clock in my head.

* If I have a time clock in my head I would keep speaking it aloud to my subconscious mind every hour, and at the

end of the hour my subconscious would say, ‘I have succeeded in creating this business for you’.

My wife would be upset at first until I began to regularly speak it aloud to her.

* If I have a time clock in my head I would do the same thing to my subconscious mind at the end of the day and my

subconscious would say, ‘You have made a profit in your business’.

You can see the power of using a time clock in your subconscious mind. Now I have taken these ideas and applied

them to my life. I speak it aloud to my subconscious mind everyday. I also do the same thing at the end of the day.

If you are struggling to make a profit in your business you have to make sure your subconscious mind sees success

in your business. So speak it aloud to your subconscious mind daily.

* Your subconscious mind is listening to everything you say.

Well, when you attend an event like this, it’s natural that you would be enthusiastic about what your business can

offer. However, this event could be anything from a single event, or an annual event, to a multi-level marketing

business opportunity, to a network marketing business opportunity, to a technology event, to any other type of

event.

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for promoting your business. However, you need to make sure that your enthusiasm is

for what you can do, rather than what you can do for your business.

In other words, don’t go to this event, thinking that you can make money. Go, because you will have fun, meet some

great people, and have a lot of fun at the same time.

Think of it like a music festival. While you might make money at the event, you will definitely have the biggest

laughs. The same goes for internet marketing. While you will make money at the event, you will also have a lot of

fun.

You see, the internet marketing business is the exact same. While you will make money at the event, you will also

have some of the best clients and sales possible. Just like at a music festival, the best part is not the music, but

rather, getting out of the event and seeing what the rest of the event has to offer.

One of the biggest regrets many internet marketers have is not attending a networking event.

Here, you can meet some of the top executives, come out of the event with great relationships, and come away wit

h great cashflow to your business. That is the best part of networking events, and why you are here.

At the network marketing event, you have the chance to go out and pitch your product to these top executives, who

in turn can go out and find new clients.

Here’s a fun fact: Network marketing business opportunities are growing at the rate of 35% each year. Why?

Because more and more business owners are aware of the power of internet marketing.

I am not saying that attending an event is easy, or that you will make huge amounts of money.

However, you will leave the event with much better relationships, more clients, and many more contacts.

Just think if attending the networking event was not part of your business plan. You would probably still miss the

whole event, because it seems like an awesome experience, and also you would miss out on the massive growth

your business would experience.

One other thing you might also want to know about networking events is that you are able to network with a lot of

other business owners. This is important, because if you do not have other business owners to network with, you

are not going to have many prospects to prospect. The reason for this is because the entire reason for attending

networking events is to build relationships. That means you are going to have to talk about your business to other

business owners. If your prospect does not know you exist, and does not care to join your business, they are going

to find other businesses. Therefore, you are going to have an easier time finding prospects.

So do you think it is worth it to invest your time and money in attending events? I would say it is 100%. The more you

attend these events, the more your chances of getting a table at the event increases, and the more likely you are to

make a sale. This can happen within just a matter of hours of attending, which means you can increase your odds of

getting a table by visiting multiple events per week. However, it can get pricey, especially if you have a lot of money

to invest, especially if you are not certain of making a sale.

However, if you are certain you will make a sale, it can pay off to attend multiple events per week.

There are even plans to invest in table sponsorships, which make a great business investment.

However, in this economy you must invest some of your profits into your business. You are not alone.

There are plenty of other business owners who are in the same boat as you. In fact, the majority of business owners

are in the same boat as you, because this economy has a habit of eroding capital every 4-5 years.

By investing in your business, it is possible to ensure your business will not run out of cash by next year.

Investing money in your business can also ensure you will not run out of cash in the future, which means you do not

have to rely on credit facilities at any point in time. Even if your business has excess cash, investing can ensure you

will not be overdrawn and lose access to credit facilities. Investing in your business can also give you some

protection against inflation and ensure you will not be paying more for goods and services in the future.

Investing in your business is a great way to increase profits. However, it can increase your risk of something going

wrong. However, even if something goes wrong, it is possible to restructure and invest some of your capital back

into your business. As long as the money you invest back into your business does not cause your business to run

out of capital, you can restructure and spend the money again.

So, do you think investing in your business is worth it? I think it is 100% worth it. I mean, I am only promoting the

business so it is a passive business, I can only expect to make profits. Investing in your business and getting a table

at one of these events can give you a great marketing machine. So, when someone else invests in their business, it

will not necessarily go towards your business.

When I have put together marketing plans for my business, I always include a specific list of clients I am trying to

reach. You see, I always need to know which client is most likely to pay me $X every month. The thing is, they are

not necessarily looking for exactly what you are offering. So, the trick is, is to make sure your services are so

valuable that the client will buy from you even if they do not particularly need what you provide.

As an example, say you provide speech and language therapy services. You do not necessarily need to aim for

helping anyone stand up or address their audiences. You may want to work on helping people with impairments that

make it difficult for them to talk or write. Then again, a person may be able to have a full and vibrant conversation

without the need for language therapy services. So, you may need to find a way to assist them to speak freely,

regardless of what their impairments may be.

So, I would suggest you pick which clients you want to focus on. Then pick just one of these clients to target

specifically on your marketing plan. This way, you can be sure you are putting your efforts into a particular target

audience. You have also given yourself a target budget. You may have found that this is a great way to manage your

marketing dollars. But the only thing you may want to consider when putting together your plan is what is the

average annual income of your prospects and clients. Is this number high or low? If the income is high, then you will

be able to afford more services and marketing. If the income is low, then you may want to consider limiting your plan

in order to only put funds towards one marketing avenue that will guarantee a good income.

This way, you are sure that you are getting your resources back on target. This is a great way to do targeted

marketing.

This is also a great way to do social media marketing, too. You target a niche audience on Facebook and Twitter.

Then you use those platforms to deliver your message to a good amount of people. If you use social media wisely,

you can increase your reach and visibility exponentially. This also helps with your ability to create a name for

yourself and be known for what you do. This is a great way to create your brand or message and distinguish yourself

from your competitors.

Another idea is to start a blog or website and continue to develop it in order to develop a reputation for yourself.

And, another idea is to pick an industry or niche that interests you, then develop it into a website and develop a list

of subscribers to this website. This also helps to bring you new customers and clients in the industry or niche you

are targeting.

I hope this has helped you understand the benefits of targeted marketing a bit better, too.

This is a really great strategy to improve your business. I hope you gave this a read. Good luck.

Here’s a fun fact: Network marketing business opportunities are growing at the rate of 35% each year. Why?

Because more and more business owners are aware of the power of internet marketing.

I am not saying that attending an event is easy, or that you will make huge amounts of money.

However, you will leave the event with much better relationships, more clients, and many more contacts.

Just think if attending the networking event was not part of your business plan.

You would probably still miss the whole event, because it seems like an awesome experience, and also you would

miss out on the massive growth your business would experience.

One other thing you might also want to know about networking events is that you are able to network with a lot of

other business owners. This is important, because if you do not have other business owners to network with, you

are not going to have many prospects to prospect. The reason for this is because the entire reason for attending

networking events is to build relationships. That means you are going to have to talk about your business to other

business owners. If your prospect does not know you exist, and does not care to join your business, they are going

to find other businesses. Therefore, you are going to have an easier time finding prospects.

So do you think it is worth it to invest your time and money in attending events?

I would say it is 100%. The more you attend these events, the more your chances of getting a table at the event

increases, and the more likely you are to make a sale. This can happen within just a matter of hours of attending,

which means you can increase your odds of getting a table by visiting multiple events per week.

However, it can get pricey, especially if you have a lot of money to invest, especially if you are not certain of making

a sale. However, if you are certain you will make a sale, it can pay off to attend multiple events per week.

There are even plans to invest in table sponsorships, which make a great business investment.

However, in this economy you must invest some of your profits into your business. You are not alone.

There are plenty of other business owners who are in the same boat as you. In fact, the majority of business owners

are in the same boat as you, because this economy has a habit of eroding capital every 4-5 years.

By investing in your business, it is possible to ensure your business will not run out of cash by next year.

Investing money in your business can also ensure you will not run out of cash in the future, which means you do not

have to rely on credit facilities at any point in time. Even if your business has excess cash, investing can ensure you

will not be overdrawn and lose access to credit facilities. Investing in your business can also give you some

protection against inflation and ensure you will not be paying more for goods and services in the future.

Investing in your business is a great way to increase profits. However, it can increase your risk of something going

wrong. However, even if something goes wrong, it is possible to restructure and invest some of your capital back

into your business. As long as the money you invest back into your business does not cause your business to run

out of capital, you can restructure and spend the money again.

So, do you think investing in your business is worth it? I think it is 100% worth it.

I mean, I am only promoting the business so it is a passive business, I can only expect to make profits.

Investing in your business and getting a table at one of these events can give you a great marketing machine.

So, when someone else invests in their business, it will not necessarily go towards your business.

When I have put together marketing plans for my business, I always include a specific list of clients I am trying to

reach. You see, I always need to know which client is most likely to pay me $X every month.

The thing is, they are not necessarily looking for exactly what you are offering.

So, the trick is, is to make sure your services are so valuable that the client will buy from you even if they do not

particularly need what you provide.

As an example, say you provide speech and language therapy services. You do not necessarily need to aim for

helping anyone stand up or address their audiences. You may want to work on helping people with impairments that

make it difficult for them to talk or write. Then again, a person may be able to have a full and vibrant conversation

without the need for language therapy services. So, you may need to find a way to assist them to speak freely,

regardless of what their impairments may be.

So, I would suggest you pick which clients you want to focus on.

Then pick just one of these clients to target specifically on your marketing plan.

This way, you can be sure you are putting your efforts into a particular target audience.

You have also given yourself a target budget. You may have found that this is a great way to manage your marketing

dollars. But the only thing you may want to consider when putting together your plan is what is the average annual

income of your prospects and clients. Is this number high or low? If the income is high, then you will be able to

afford more services and marketing. If the income is low, then you may want to consider limiting your plan in order to

only put funds towards one marketing avenue that will guarantee a good income.

This way, you are sure that you are getting your resources back on target. This is a great way to do targeted

marketing.

This is also a great way to do social media marketing, too. You target a niche audience on Facebook and Twitter.

Then you use those platforms to deliver your message to a good amount of people. If you use social media wisely,

you can increase your reach and visibility exponentially. This also helps with your ability to create a name for

yourself and be known for what you do. This is a great way to create your brand or message and distinguish yourself

from your competitors.

Another idea is to start a blog or website and continue to develop it in order to develop a reputation for yourself.

And, another idea is to pick an industry or niche that interests you, then develop it into a website and develop a list

of subscribers to this website. This also helps to bring you new customers and clients in the industry or niche you

are targeting.

I hope this has helped you understand the benefits of targeted marketing a bit better, too.

This is a really great strategy to improve your business. I hope you gave this a read. Good luck.

The answer can be different according to your business and the method you prefer to make the sale.

The one solution that is more than a perfect for your business is direct response marketing, better known as email

marketing.

With this method you have direct access to your market, because email is open, therefore you are able to direct sell

to your customers.

The first step in the method of direct response marketing is to select the target market.

Depending on your business, this can be workers, or companies. There are so many product categories, there are

many company brands, but I will limit my examples to the last two years.

To choose the target market, your customers should be able to relate to the company brand, have some money to

purchase, and have some pain tolerance to purchase what your company can offer. Based on the factors above, you

should be able to narrow down the target market.

To determine the correct target market, you should perform a market research.

The method I prefer is using the 30-second commercial test, as it is not affected by fast changing market

conditions, and if the market is still populated with mobile users, you can use an app or web application to capture

the data (like Facebook). If your market is mobile only, it would be impossible to use this type of data.

Your own sales are affected by the response rate, and if you’ve been able to use the first step of the method of

direct response marketing. The first step is to determine the potential market, and the “Response Rate” is directly

related to the time frame you intend to use the method of direct response marketing, and the cost of the method

you’ve chosen. For example, if you intend to use the method of direct response marketing on a short term basis,

you should know your “Response Rate” is directly related to the cost of the method you’ve chosen. If your goal is to

have a long-term relationship with your potential customers, your “Response Rate” will determine the cost-per-lead

to you business. If you have two potential customers, and they have a 1% “Response Rate”, and your cost of

marketing is $10,000, then each sale will cost you $1,000. Of course, as your “Response Rate” increases, your costs

per lead decrease. If you have 100 customers and your potential “Response Rate” is 2%, then your costs per lead

will also be 2%.

You should know what the “Cost Per Lead” means before choosing a marketing method.

If you’re going to use a web application, you should know what a “lead” is. A “lead” is simply a person who has

applied for services from you. It may be through your website, an email, or any other method you’ve chosen.

It’s the same thing, whether the lead is interested in your services or not. There’s just one person who has

contacted you. If your “Cost Per Lead” is less than $10, each lead, and you’ve got a good marketing method.

If your cost per lead is more than $10 each lead, then you have an ineffective marketing method.

* Cost per lead is directly related to the length of time you intend to use the marketing method, and the number of

leads you’ve received.

If you’ve been getting 10 leads a month, and you get 100 leads, your cost per lead will be less than $10 each lead.

If you get 200 leads a month, and you get 1,000 leads, your cost per lead will be more than $10 each lead.

Now, you have to make sure that your marketing method, can generate the leads that you’re seeking.

This is easily done if you know how many leads you’ve received, and how long you intend to use the marketing

method. This information can also be used to ensure that you’re not relying too much on one method or strategy.

If you have been able to use your marketing method for 3 months, but have only gotten 40 leads, then you know

that you’re no longer getting the leads you need to succeed. Therefore, you should not rely too much on that

marketing method.

* Cost per lead is a very important factor when you’re planning your budget. You want to make sure that it’s enough

to provide you with the leads that you’re seeking.

You also want to make sure that you’ve got some money set aside for other marketing methods that you’re planning

to use. This way you won’t get bored when the marketing method you’ve chosen doesn’t yield as many leads as you

want it to. This can be done easily by ensuring that you’ve got some money set aside for these other methods.

These days, there are many marketing methods that you can use to help generate leads.

You don’t need to rely on just one method or strategy.

* One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is that they don’t make a plan. What you need to make sure is that

you’ve got a marketing plan that you’re ready to go. This allows you to be able to take your business to a higher

level. If you don’t have a marketing plan, you’re likely to get confused and bored.

Therefore, this will lead to your loss of potential sales. There are many ways to make money online.

If you’ve not got a plan, you’re likely to get confused and bored. Therefore, you need to think of a way to increase

your income. This is the same as in the offline world. You need to have a plan to increase your income.

* Focus on your Ideal prospects. You’re probably wondering what exactly you need to focus on when you’re

planning your marketing. The first thing is that you focus on the Ideal prospects.

These are the prospects that are using your business to make money.

This is the type of prospect you want to target. Ideal prospects are confident, educated, and financially secure.

They know what they want and how to achieve it. They’re interested in the results of their actions, so you can always

have them on your list. They’re the ones you want to talk to about becoming a client.

Just using these 4 elements can help you make good decisions. All you need to do is plan your marketing strategy,

be organized, make a plan, and make a schedule. The only thing you need to do is follow these 4 elements and find

your success.

If you’re a business owner and you want your business to grow, the best thing you can do is to make a marketing

plan. Not a hard plan or a complicated plan, but a simple plan. The marketing plan can be as simple as a cell phone

number that your clients can simply text to receive more information about your business, specials, and other

exciting things going on at your company.

The reason why you have to focus on your ideal clients is that the people who will sign up for your business are the

same people who are going to become your clients.

Therefore, it’s very important that you pick your ideal clients well. There’s nothing better than selecting the right

clients for your business.

The best thing to do is to find the highest paying prospects that your business can attract.

So, when you’re creating your marketing plan, look for the best prospects that your business can attract, these are

the people who are going to pay you the most money. Find the best prospects for your business and let your

business do the rest.

When you’re working on your marketing plan, try to use numbers wherever possible.

Take your budget and split it into 2 parts. The first part is for your marketing plan and the second part is for salaries

for every employee. You’ll find that these 2 parts will give you a good budget. I’m not saying you should spend it all

on marketing. It’s also important to invest in salaries, equipment, and software for employees to keep up with the

new technologies and make your business more effective.

One of the most important things to remember is to put your marketing plan on paper or on a spreadsheet.

You may have thousands of dollars of costs, but if you don’t remember what’s going to come from what, your

marketing plan will not be effective. You must take note of each and every expense and work out which ones are

related to your marketing plan and which ones aren’t. This way, you’ll have the money for marketing and you don’t

forget any of the things that are going to come from your marketing plan.

If you do this, you’ll be able to track how much you have spent for each and every marketing tool. You can see

where all your customers are coming from and where your customers have been. And because you know who your

customers are, you know what you need to do to bring more of them in.

When you know the budget for each and everyone, you’ll be able to avoid wasting too much money.

So when you are shopping for products, you’ll know that you’ll spend most of your budget on products that will do

the most for your business. This way, you won’t go broke when something goes out of production.

In the end, you’ll be able to spend your money wisely and become a more successful business.

This is a very important thing to remember if you want to be successful in business.

You cannot survive for long without spending money. You must understand who your customers are and what they

want. Then you can figure out what your customers need and how you can give it to them.

It’s a lot easier than trying to figure out on your own how you’re going to solve their problems.

So be sure to do this before you start your marketing plan. Otherwise you’re just floating around, doing something

and nothing happens, because you have no marketing plan.

And make sure that you don’t leave any things out. Every detail counts. So this is a big deal for you.

And the last thing is to pay attention to how your customers are reacting to your sales letters.

If they’re opening your sales letter, but slamming the door on the page, you need to fix that.

Make sure that your copy is crystal clear and your design attractive. Then your customer will open your sales letter

and they’ll be all over your sales letter.

And the bottom line of this is simple. Make sure that your customers understand who you are, what you do and how

you’re going to solve their problems. Then they’re going to buy from you because they want to be part of the

success story you’re creating. So put it all together and make sure that you have a clear marketing plan so you can

make sure that you get people into your sales letters and buying from you.

This article describes the basics on funnel design.

A funnel is a series of marketing activities that close after an action completes.

The final funnel shows the process of how we got there and at the end it will provide any number of valuable results

or educational tools for the business owner.

When creating a funnel or series of marketing activities you want to keep things as simple as possible and make it

easier for your business to use.

You need to keep in mind, that most businesses are used like other businesses by presenting a single product only

in a single way. Your funnel needs to be able to provide something of value to the business owner as it grows.

For example, if you are selling vitamins online and you want to provide your business owner with the ability to

position himself in front of people that want to buy vitamins your funnel will provide him with the ability to do that.

Your funnel will also provide you the ability to do things on autopilot. This is very important to use your funnel as it

grows. The business owner will have the ability to simply add to the funnel as it needs expanding and it will continue

to grow.

A funnel will provide more than a sales funnel does and in fact the sales funnel will provide more than the leads

funnel will provide. The reason is that a sales funnel shows the process of how the products were sold to the

customer. There is no process of how the customer was sold to the business owner.

A leads funnel is the opposite of this. It shows the process of how your customer found you, and it shows you how

you can make yourself into an option in their search. This is powerful and it is easier to do than the sales funnel,

even for a business that is selling more than one product.

So, we have covered why a sales funnel and a leads funnel are tools for your business to grow and why a leads

funnel is a superior tool for that purpose. Now, we’ll cover some other reasons that a leads funnel is superior to a

sales funnel.

* Superior Targeting: In a leads funnel you are only selling to people that have shown an interest in buying.

In a sales funnel you are selling to any person that has shown an interest in buying.

This is huge because now your business is only focusing on the people that are interested in network marketing.

Another example, you could find 1 person that is interested in owning his own business and you can find 2 people

that are interested in working from home and that also show an interest in network marketing.

This way you only have to find 1 person who is interested in building his own business.

Now the business is focused on the people that have shown an interest in working from home.

And now as your funnel continues, you are the only one working on expanding your business to reach more people

who show an interest in working from home and network marketing.

What is the advantage to this?

Your leads funnel will continue to grow while your sales funnel will stop growing because you don’t have any new

people coming into the business to sell the business. And, you don’t need any more sales people because your

leads funnel is doing all the work for you.

There are so many other benefits to a leads funnel, but I think I’ve covered enough to help you understand the

benefits of a leads funnel. Now when you are building your leads funnel and you are getting people coming through

the system, just be careful because if you are pushing people into your business that do not want to be in it or do

not have the right values, then you will loose interest in your business. It’s just like going to a store and buying a TV,

if the employee is rude or does not understand your desire to buy a TV then just walk out and say something bad

about the store to the manager or supervisor. This will keep you from being happy and wanting to stay away from

that store all together. Now, if you do this enough you will find that you will not want to shop at that store anymore

because you have had enough of bad experiences there.
