Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliate Payraise”

Pop quiz time. What does “HTML” stand for? Don’t know
that one? How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance. Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building
a website!

* What in the world is HTML? Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost? And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult
(even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it fo ryou is out of the
budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a
website. You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR: Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands
for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding
used to build webpages. FTP stands for “file transfer
protocol” and is the process used for moving files
from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take
advantage of the time and money invested by someone else
to develop the site. Think about it: when you promote an
affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU. You are the
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product,
sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents
you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked
through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliate Payraise”

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product
to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to
be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give
when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come
up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products.
You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful
offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have
lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything! Why try
to create a product on every topic imaginable in your
market when you can earn just as much money by simply
promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your
profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.

It’s oftentimes a difficult balance for web site owners. How do
you please both visitors and search engines? Well, it’s not
easy, but if you follow certain steps, it isn’t that difficult,
either.

So which is more important, to please the visitors or the search
engine spiders? The unequivocal answer is to please the
visitors. What good is a site that attracts spiders but not
actual people? And what good is a site that only attracts some
visitors but not search engine spiders? In this newsletter, we
will go over writing content that interests and pleases both
your readers and the spiders.

So how do I write content that pleases a visitor?

First, stick to writing content that is relevant to your site.
That means that if your site is about Rock music, you should not
have any content about dogs, as that only makes your site look
bad and repels visitors.

Second, write content in an easy to understand, conversational
format. Do not use big, fancy words just for the sake of looking
smart or pleasing search engine bots. I can’t count the number
of times I’ve visited a site with content that is so hard to
comprehend that I do not wish to ever come back to that site
again. You want to make a good first impression on anyone who
takes the time to look at your site, so make sure your content
is easy to understand.

Third, never ever write content that is long, dull, and boring.
If the point you are trying to get across can be said more
concisely in 500 words, than why waste another 300 words droning
on and on about the topic? This is a huge turnoff to potential
visitors.

Fourth, make sure that all of your content is grammatically
correct. I know, this is hard because we live in the instant
messenger world, where sentences like “how r u?”, are thought to
be acceptable. However, anyone who is well-educated will
appreciate good grammar. Make your site shine in this
department.

Fifth, don’t overuse keywords and keyword phrases. In other
words, don’t make it blatantly obvious to the reader that you
are trying to attract search engine spiders to your site. Make
an effort to make sure that your keywords and keyword phrases
flow into the content of the article. This is easier said than
done, but can be accomplished with a little fine tuning.

But what about search engine spiders? How do I please them?

Search engine spiders are actually very easy to please, much
easier than actual human beings. This is because search engine
spiders aren’t subjective—they don’t care what the subject is
about; they just care about the number keywords and keyword
phrases.

The only way you can possibly displease a search engine spider
is by overusing a keyword/keyword phrase and making your site
smell like spam. Search engine spiders are now more advanced
than ever, and so they are better able to ignore sites that are
full of spam. Too many keywords or keyword phrases that are
blatantly there will hinder your site from being crawled by
spiders.

As is mentioned in another of our newsletters, a keyword density
of 1-3% is generally considered to be good. Any less than 1% is
bad and will make it harder for your site to get listed on
search engines; any more than 4% makes your site look like spam.
If you haven’t checked out our other newsletter, keyword density
is basically the number of keywords or keyword phrases in a
piece of content divided by the total number of words.

Before you write your article, take some time to make up a short
list of keywords that are relevant to the topic at hand. Then
try to naturally sprinkle them into your content, so that your
content will please both the search engine bots and your
readers. If you are able to do that, you will have a successful
site in no time. Not only will the search bots love you, but
actual people will, too!

To your success,
Rodney Coleman

P.S. Writing content that is good for both people and search
engines is an absolute essential to making your site a
powerhouse. So follow the rules above and you will be able to
write excellent, pleasing content!

It is only natural that webmasters continuously crave higher
search engine rankings. After all, the closer your site is to
the first entry in the search engine results page, the more
chances you have of bringing on surfer traffic to your website.

The choice between proper website content composition and
keyword saturation is a continuing dilemma that many web masters
and internet marketers continue to mull over. Should the page of
the site be designed specifically to enhance search engine
results ratings or should the site’s pages contain proper and
relevant content with regards to its existing purpose?

To be given a high search result ranking, the website must
contain relevant information or content. This means that you
can’t just jumble keywords together in a haphazard manner. You
need to have quality content written down to describe your
website and its contents. The search engine examines your
website and all that it contains. The search engine will try to
figure out if the keywords contained in your web pages are
relevant to the user’s search parameters. For example, a user
searches for the word “bird”. The search engine finds two
websites with the word bird in it. The first website adds
descriptions and additional information about the word bird.

The second website has the word bird, but it also contains other
words like tiger, lion, zoo, seal all jumbled together in no
particular order. Armed with this information, the search engine
uses algorithms to determine which of the 2 sites has more
relevance to the user’s query. In this case, the first website
which has a descriptive article about “birds” is prioritized by
the search engine. In addition to being ranked higher by the
search engine, the user is directed to the first website and
finds exactly what he is looking for.

Already, you can see that there need not be a conflict between
search engine optimization and keyword placement.

You need to properly define your keywords in terms of
relevance. The criterior for keyword relevance is based on how
you think a searcher will write down his query. If he is looking
for a pair of shoes, will he use “size 9” or “black size 9” or
“Nike”? The best way to figure things out is to be a customer
yourself. Go to a search engine and search for a single specific
topic or product by using different words. Take note of the
search strings you use and how relevant they are to your target.

Say, you want to buy a CD of Eric Clapton so you are also
searching for a store to buy it from. Do you type in “buy Eric
Clapton” or is it “Eric Clapton CD”? As a searcher do you
have a specific album in mind? Are you searching for Eric
Clapton’s unplugged album? If so, how are you going to search
for it? As the keywords get more specific, the more relevance it
assumes. This is actually a trade-off. Keywords or phrases that
are specifically relevant to the topic at hand tend to bring in
the correct kind of web traffic that you are looking for.

However, because of their specificity, your website will only be
used as a search result if the user’s query specifically matches
your keywords.

Writing content is not as easy as jotting down a sentence or
two. Think of the search engine as an artificial intelligence
that needs to know everything. The more it can read, the better
it can judge the relevance of your content. That being said, a
lot of internet marketers write keyword, rich content articles
with a minimum of 400 words per article. To put it in simpler
terms, a search engine is slow to grasp the whole point.

To your success,
Rodney Coleman

P.S. Having good content in your website is a blessing not only
for search engine optimization, but also for usefulness to the
person browsing your site. If you can make your site useful to
me, I will certainly return to your site to find out if I can
use something else again. People love useful and convenient
things; even people.

Keywords or phrases are tools used in internet marketing to
achieve better rankings in search engines. At a certain point in
time, webmasters abused this system by saturating the content of
their websites with keywords to be able to achieve a high
ranking. However, this resulted in search engine users getting
results that had no relevance whatsoever to their query. To
combat this abuse, search engine webmasters developed algorithms
to decipher which websites have relevant content and which
websites did not. Now, the whole focus for keyword utilization
has shifted to content rich articles with a keyword ratio
average of about 12% of the whole article.

The whole reason for this shift in keyword utilization stems
from the fact that search engine sites track and record the
abuse of keywords. If you happen to have an article of 500 words
containing nothing but the word “porn”, chances are your site
will be banned from the search engine.

This shift has also created a whole new industry in writing.
You will definitely be able to get a few odd jobs writing search
engine optimized (SEO) articles.

The key to writing good SEO articles is to be true to the
subject at hand. Make sure that your SEO article contains
relevant information and a substantial proportion of keyword
scattered throughout the article. Include a keyword or phrase in
the title of your article. Include a minimum of 2 keywords or
phrases in the beginning and ending paragraphs of your article.
Finally, scatter keywords in the body of your article. If you
have a 500 word article, a minimum of 1 keyword or phrase per
paragraph in the text body is recommended.

Write your article for your product, not for the sake of
keywords. As you go on with your article, you will be using your
keywords when you describe your product and when you give out
instructions on how to use the product. Write about how the
product came into existence and how it has developed through the
years. Cite instances where the product has been particularly
useful to you or to an acquaintance.

When writing the article, do not force the keyword issue. Your
articles must be forthright, literate, easy and entertaining to
read. Some writers sacrifice grammar for the sake of a keyword
placement. Don’t do that. When searchers are directed to an
article of yours and it happens to contain spelling errors,
wrong grammar and a generally sloppy composition, they might
decide to look for another article or website that contains more
nicely written content.

If you are unable to compose your own article because of time
constraints, you can use freelance websites to hire article
writers who will do the job for you. Prices for an original SEO
article containing 500 to 750 words max range anywhere from $1
to 15$. Just be sure to communicate well with the writers so
that they fully understand what you require. Ask for previous
work samples so you can judge whether their skills are up to
your standards. If you come across a writer offering his service
rather cheaply, don’t rush in and call yourself lucky. The best
way to be sure that you have found a cheap but quality conscious
worker is to ask him to provide one article to you. In exchange
you will pay him for that one article and use it as criteria for
judging his qualifications.

To your success,
Rodney Coleman

P.S. Try writing an article yourself before hiring it out to
someone else. You of all people should know how the article must
read.

To make money with affiliate programs, you must
be able to sell a product. With internet scams
at an all time high, there are many consumers who
are a little bit leery of buying a new product.
That is why you should consider testing the
products that you will be selling first. The
testing of products is a great way to ensure that
you are promoting a worthwhile product. Although
testing is good enough, you might want to take it
a step further. You may want to think about
writing product reviews or at least
recommendations.

When it comes to writing affiliate program
product reviews or recommendations, ones of the
most common questions asked is “why?” There are
a large number of program participants who feel
that it is just a waste of time. In reality, it
isn’t. In fact, it could be the best use of your
time. Product reviews and recommendations give
consumers an idea as to what they are purchasing.
In today’s society, a large number of consumers
read product reviews before making a purchase,
especially a large one. It is also important to
note trust. Giving consumers insight into a
product that you help sell allows them to develop
a working relationship with you, even if it is
just in their minds. In a way, a sense of trust
is created; trust that could work to your
advantage.

If this is your first time writing a product
recommendation or a product review, you may be
wondering what you should write. In all honesty,
you are advised to take a consumer standpoint.
If you were researching a product online, what
you would like to know about that product?
Taking this approach will help to ensure that
your product reviews and recommendations are
actually useful to those who read them. Items
that you should include in a product review
should include an overview of the product in
question, the price that it is being sold for,
what it can be used for, and the benefits of
buying it.

When it comes to writing product reviews or
recommendations, there are many individuals who
take different approaches. In all honestly, you
can take any approach that you would like.
Essentially, this means that you can format your
review or recommendation any way that you would
like to. Despite having the freedom to choose
your own format, you may want to consider using
the sample outlined below as a guide. This
sample uses a work at home e-book as the product
in question.

To Those Who Want to Work From Home,

Are you one of the millions of Americans who you
would like to work from home? If you are, you
are definitely not alone. Finding a legitimate
work at home opportunity can seem like a long and
complicated task, but it doesn’t have to be. The
“Learn How You Can Work from Home,” e-book has
all the information that you will need.

Available for the low-price of $10, you can
easily learn how to work at home. Hundreds of
work at home opportunities are outlined.
Familiarize yourself with each opportunity, learn
what equipment or training is needed, as well as
how much you can make. With the “Learn How You
Can Work from Home,” e-book, you are sure to find
the work at home opportunity of your dreams.

As it was mentioned above, the above mentioned
sample is just one of the many ways that you can
write a product review or recommendation. Once
you have finished your review, you will want to
put it to good use. Consider having it displayed
on your webpage, submit the review to top article
directories, or even use it as newsletter
content. In all honesty, it doesn’t really
matter how you choose to distribute your review
or recommendations, as long as you do. In fact,
once your product review or recommendation is in
circulation, you may start seeing results right
away!

Writing product reviews or recommendations will
not take long, but you can benefit immensely from
them. Whether you are in an affiliate program now
or you are about to join one, you are urged to
write a review or recommendations of the product
that you are selling. In the end, you may be
surprised with the results.

To your success,
Rodney Coleman

P.S. Writing product reviews or recommendations
is a great way to build a positive perception of
you, your company, and the affiliate products
that you are responsible for selling.

Email marketing is a very effective way to reach your customers.
It will also help you increase the traffic to your website and
improve sales. How do you develop an effective email marketing
campaign? After all, what you send to your customers is very
important. If it isn’t well designed or professional looking the
results could be damaging to your business instead of
beneficial.

The first part of the email marketing campaign needs to include
your goals. What do you expect to achieve from your email
marketing campaign? Who do you want to reach? You should also
decide what type of marketing you are going to do. Will it be
random discounts and promotions, seasonal, or will you be
sending a regular newsletter? Next you will need to do some
research. Do you know the email marketing laws? What are the
current market trends? How are you going to make your email
marketing campaign more appealing than that of the competition?
You have to have these goals clearly defined and outlined.
Otherwise your will just spin your wheels while developing your
email marketing campaign.

Since the goals of every business are very different, the
strategies they use in email marketing will also be very
different. While this gives each business the ability to be
creative an unique in developing their marketing campaign, it
also makes it difficult because there are no clear cut answers.
If you aren’t skilled in developing email marketing campaigns
you will need to purchase email marketing software or hire an
email marketing consultant.

How well do you know your customer? I hope well because this is
a very important part of developing an effective email marketing
campaign. You have to be able to address your key audience by
providing them with relevant information. If they aren’t
interested in what you have to say then it doesn’t matter how
many emails you manage to send out.

Once you have decided on your email marketing campaign you may
think you are ready to hit the send button, but hold on just a
little bit longer. Make sure everything in the email is spelled
correctly and grammatically correct. Nothing looks more
unprofessional than an email marketing campaign will errors.
They will stick out like a sore thumb. Remember to test the
effectiveness of the email on the various email service
providers as they all have variations. You will be disappointed
to discover that subscribers to a particular service weren’t
able to open your email for it to read properly.

Make sure the subject line of your email is clear and effective.
This will help your email marketing campaign to get past the
various spam filters and virus protectors. Many researchers of
email marketing believe the subject line will make or break the
reader’s decision to open your email. Make sure you personalize
the email and address it to the consumer rather than a broad
introduction. You will want to attach a clear expiration date to
your email marketing promotion. Nothing motivates the consumer
than having a deadline. They don’t want to miss out on the
opportunity to take advantage of what you are offering.

To Your Success,
Rodney Coleman

P.S.
Email marketing is a great opportunity for you to communicate
with your customers and to promote your business. It is very
important that you take the time to set your goals and to know
the market before you develop your email marketing campaign.
This will ensure it is successful. While you want your email
marketing strategy to be unique and creative you need to keep
the wants and needs of the customer in mind. You can choose to
develop your email marketing strategy on your own, using
software, or by hiring a consultant. Getting your email to the
consumer is only half of the battle. You will have to work hard
to make it very appealing and get the results you are looking for.

Is your blog collecting dust and not getting enough traffic?
It’s a common problem for bloggers. Their blogs are good, but no
one is coming to visit. They want to know how to increase
traffic. Increasing traffic is actually easier than it
seems–provided you know how. In this newsletter, we will go
over 7 specific methods of increasing traffic. These are
guaranteed methods to draw more visitors to your blog.

Tip #1: Sign up for pinging services

It seems pretty obvious, but most bloggers, even those who are
more experienced, don’t sign up for pinging services. If you’re
new to blogging and don’t know what pinging means, pinging
basically means that when your blog is updated, a “ping” is sent
out by the service to let pinging sites know that your blog has
been updated. People who are visiting sites with pinging
services will then see your blog flash across the side of the
screen as “newly updated”. Pinging services include Yahoo’s
blo.gs, weblogs.com, Google Blog search, and ZingFast.

Tip #2: Sign up for Technorati

If you go to technorati.com, you’ll see an option on the left
side of the screen to “Claim Your Blog”. Doing so allows you to
get updated link counts, add your photo or branding to
Technorati, and see your Technorati link. Having your blog
claimed on Technorati helps to increase traffic because the
millions of people who go to that site will have a chance to see
your blog on there.

Tip #3: Sign up for FeedBurner, a RSS service

What FeedBurner basically does for your blog is it helps you to
promote your blog’s content, build your audience and measure
your audience. In other words, it helps you increase your blog’s
traffic.

Tip #4: Bookmark your blogs at places like del.icio.us

You can set up an account and profile at del.icio.us. Then,
using that, you can add links to your blog along with excerpts
from your blog. Anytime someone visits your profile on
del.icio.us, they will see a link to your blog and excerpts.
There are other social bookmarking sites that you can use in
much the same way. The bottom line is, using these social
bookmarking sites can help you increase traffic.

Tip #5: Post comments at other blogs

No, this doesn’t mean you should go and spam other blogs with
comments that are only there to promote a site. It means that
you should visit similar blogs to your own, post legitimate
comments and then sign your name(along with a link to your
blog). This way, people know you aren’t there just to promote
your site—you’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also
say where you’re from.

Tip #6: Ask owners of other blogs to post a link to yours

Find other blogs that are similar to yours. If they seem to be
decently popular(that is, they have a good amount of comments
for each post), you can try to contact the owner of the blog to
add a link to your blog if they have a links section. To make
them really want to do this, you can offer to link back to their
blog on your blog. People do this reciprocal blog linking all
the time and it does help to increase traffic.

Tip #7: Use keywords in your blog

Like regular web pages, having a good keyword density on a blog
is a terrific way of getting search engine spiders to notice
your page. (FYI: Search engine spiders are programs from search
engines that browse sites and report back their findings to the
search engine database, which then lists that site. The more
keywords on your site, the more likely it is for a search engine
spider to pay a visit)

If your average blog posting is around 200 words, try to use 2-6
keywords per blog post. 2-6 keywords in a blog posting of 200
words is a keyword density of between 1 and 3 percent, a
respectable number. Remember that you don’t want to use too many keywords, as that will make your blog look bad. Also be sure
that the keywords used are relevant to your blog. Before even
making a blog posting, decide what the post will be about and
then select a keyword or two to use in your post. Then do it.
It’s a surefire way of getting more traffic to your site!

Today, I’d like to share with you a business idea that is oftentimes overlooked by online marketers.

We all know about writing and selling ebooks. Perhaps you don’t know HOW to do it, but we know that it’s a great business model.

But, ebooks can be a pain to write. I mean, really, who has time to write 50 to 100 pages before making a cent? Yikes!

Here’s a business model that’s JUST as profitable, and a lot less work.

I’d like to introduce you to your new best friends —

Small Reports & Jimmy D. Brown (the guy who’s going to teach you about them).

After you read this excerpt, be sure to grabbing the FREE report “5 STEPS TO A BIG-PROFIT, S.M.A.L.L.™ REPORT BUSINESS: How To Turn 7-15 Page Small Reports Into A Six-Figure Information Empire” at this site: (link)

But, first — I’ll share the first few pages of the actual paid course.

How To Make A Small Fortune Online With Small Reports

Hello, this is Jimmy D. Brown. Welcome to Small Reports Fortune™ where I’m going to teach you “How To Make A Small Fortune Online With Small Reports”.

We’ll talk at length about how to do this, but I want to kind of encapsulate everything into one opening statement as we begin our presentation –

The ultimate information business is finding a target audience and then convincing them to make repeated purchases from you.

An age-old marketing law is this: “it’s much easier to sell MORE to existing customers than it is to find new customers to sell to”. Your information business stands to gain serious momentum when you offer multiple, related offers to your customer base.

Instead of selling a customer a $20 ebook and then looking for the next customer, you’ll want to setup a system to offer her a $20 ebook, then a $40 product, then a $497 product and finally a $1997 offer. (These are just “generalities”, of course)

And it’s all going to build upon this foundation of creating short, 7-15 page reports.

The important thing is to get your existing customers to spend MORE money with you. Learn this: the more money each customer spends with you, the less customers you’ll need to reach $100K per year.

The idea is simple: get your target audience (subscribers + customers) to repeatedly spend money with you.

Once you have worked to secure a customer or subscriber, why not allow them to spend as much money with you as they are willing?

I’m not suggesting that you exploit your relationship with others and coerce them into purchasing sub-par products or things they don’t really have a need to buy. I’m talking about making products and services available that provide genuine usefulness to those who are in a position to buy.

There’s a big, big difference between these two statements:

“This product is going to change your business forever … it’s the best product I’ve seen in months … if you don’t buy this today, then you’re absolutely nuts … it’s what I consider to be a ‘must-have’ for anyone who’s serious!”

“If you’re ready to XYZ, then I’ve found this product to be very beneficial in my own business. I use it myself and here are the results that I’ve achieved. I highly recommend it and will even give you a free copy of XYZ if you are one of the first 50 who buy it.”

Both are attempting to get the sale. But one is full of hype and the other is reasonable.

Back to my point. You need to get your target audience to buy from you. And buy again. And again. And again.

Despite popular belief, you can do this without being a money-hungry, conscious-less, in-your-face, psychological mind-games coercer. (That’s a mouthful, huh?!)

So, that’s the backdrop of the Small Reports Fortune™ course. I’m going to teach you how to -

CHOOSE a market, CREATE small reports to sell to them and CASH-IN on your own money-making information business.

What I want to teach you to do in this series is to create small, 7-15 page reports that you sell to your list members in the $10-$20 range…and how to spiral them into premium-priced offers down the road.

You can make a “small fortune” with “small reports” – and I’m going to show you how to do it.

Here’s what it looks like 12 months from now:

You have 12 reports available for $10 each. (One per month) Customers buy the first one and, in time, buy most of the others. (Multiple customer purchases)

You put together package deals of 12 reports for $97. (Larger chunks of cash per transaction)

You launch an affiliate program for the $97 package and sell large quantities of the bundle. (Affiliates love ~$50 commission per order!)

You use your reports to launch “high ticket” offers that sell for $1,000 or more. (Skyrocket your profit!)

You make a “small fortune” with “small reports” (Yes, YOU!)

And it all begins right here.

SMALL Reports Fortune™ is one of the courses that I’ve taken that has changed my online business – for the better, of course. I highly recommend it.

On a scale of one to five — it’s an 11.

Roadblocks. We all have them.

What do I mean? Well, no one can possibly know everything there is to running an online business. No one. Not me. Not you.

At some point you have to get help. In some way, shape or form.

The most successful entrepreneurs outsource — they pay freelancers to help them with either one-time or ongoing tasks. But, did you also know that there are other free ways to get this type of help?

I didn’t realize that either, until I checked out the Outsource Weekly course from Jimmy D. Brown & Nicole Dean. I’m loving it. Yes, I’ll pay for things like Graphics, but I didn’t realize that I could also get other jobs done without paying money up front.

Well, I won’t tell you everything. Here’s an excerpt provided by Nicole & Jimmy from their course.

After you read this excerpt, be sure to check out the full course. They pretty much cover all aspects of an online business – what the task is, if you need to do it for YOUR type of business, if it can be automated instead of outsourced, and, if you do need to outsource it, who to go to.

Outsource Weekly Excerpt
by Nicole Dean

If there was one thing I’d go back and outsource sooner, it would be my customer support and my emails.

Why? For a number of reasons…

Benefit #1: It takes a LOT less time now than I ever spent.

I’ve never been accused of being aloof, so I’ll tell you like it is.

This is embarrassing, but oh well.

I have “shiny object syndrome”. In fact, I think that most internet marketers have a bit of ADD where any shiny object pulls your attention away from the thing that you’re doing.

Emails, instant messenger, a new product that’s launching that everyone’s talking about, a cool website, phone, twitter, “ooh a new friend found me on facebook…” etc.

“What was I working on again?”

When I was answering my own emails, I’d run off to investigate the answers or find out more about the topic, click through on the links that were sent to me, or just plain old get sidetracked and head off to work on more pressing matters.

I’d get shiny object syndrome and spend an hour answering an email and come back and go “oops, I never responded” because I’d run off in 100 different directions between opening the email and hitting send.

So, when I finally outsourced my emails, I was quite embarrassed to see that the virtual assistants were only spending 15 minutes/day on something that was taking me a lot more time.

Benefit #2: It keeps me more positive.

You know the story. You get one crabby person who is just downright mean, for no reason at all. Well, some people can let that roll off their backs, but, when it’s your business that they’re talking about, it can feel awfully personal in a hurry.

My poor hubby had to dry some tears after one particularly horrid woman came after me, repeatedly being mean. And, she wasn’t even a customer! ((shudder))

Benefit #3: You’re Going to Have to Do It Eventually. The Sooner you Do It, the Easier the Transition Is.

Anyway, I’d held off outsourcing my emails for a long time, because I couldn’t believe that anyone would take as good of care of my customers, loyal readers, and JV requests as I possibly could.

That was until I realized that Bill Gates doesn’t answer customer questions.

Hmmm…

So, in essence, I was again punishing myself for success. The BIGGER my business grew, the more emails I’d get – the more miserable I was and the more I was stuck on my bottom, working many more hours than I’d cared to.

Success had again became a punishment for me.

This course is the perfect starting point for any beginner. You see, Nicole & Jimmy have this thing called “integrity” that has caused Nicole to pour a lot more into this course than she ever imagined. When interviewed recently, she stated “I can not teach people how to Outsource a task until they understand 1. if they need to be doing it, and 2. how it should be done effectively. Otherwise, they’re just throwing money away.”
