Today, I am going to reveal one of my personal idiosyncrasies and I'm going to share something from my Internet home business archives that is worth keeping, worth reviewing and worth sharing.Copyright © GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.comMy name is GT and yes, I am a collector - read, "packrat" - although, there is light at the end of the tunnel in one particular area:
electronic archival.
Computer files notwithstanding, my physical shelves are lined with hundreds of books, every genre, all I intend to read again... someday. Some, maybe I will.
My shelves are also lined with hundreds of videos and dvds, from the educational to the entertaining, every genre, all gently placed with a promise that I will return to view them again... someday. Some, maybe I will.
My shelves and cupboards are also filled with countless collectibles, "valuable" items from auctions, online and off, treasures garnered from garage sales, street sales, flea markets and elsewhere. Items that, as I have assured my dear, tolerant spouse, will surely increase in value as time goes on and "someday, when the time is right" I will deign to dispose of via a particular online auction. And someday, maybe I will.
Fortunately, to my credit, my habits in the area of
electronic archival are showing some degree of improvement. Especially since fall of last year when I purchased a new computer to help update and advance my
Internet home business.
Since that wise move, I have become more selective in the information that I save and store on my computer. I know from experience that the majority of emails received can be deleted once read, and most sources of information or reference can be saved as a link in your browser's
Favorites folder, or can be quickly found by doing an Internet search.
However, in contrast, there is SOME
Internet Marketing information that I definitely keep for
handy reference and do refer back to on a regular basis.
Tested and Proven Ideas and Opportunities: Info Worth SavingFor example, subscribers to my
Internet Home Business Tips Newsletter receive several issues each week highlighting various aspects of marketing a
home-based Internet business. The info comes from a variety of sources and some of it is not unique to my newsletter. Other marketers may publish it in their newsletters as well.
Subscribers receive a great selection of
tested and proven ideas and opportunities guaranteed to help a business or, at the very least, inspire a marketer to greater success and achievement.
You might find this surprising, but
I subscribe to my own newsletter and I keep copies on my computer. I do this for two reasons:
first, just to keep an eye on my
autoresponder system and what is currently being emailed out;
second,
because the information is so good. Unfortunately, my brain can hold only so much, so
I need to keep it handy for quick reference!Here is a recent example from my
StarrBizz.com Internet Home Business Tips Newsletter:
5 Unique Ways To Get Free Advertising1. Give TestimonialsWhen you purchase a product or service and it exceeds your expectations e-mail the business a testimonial. Tell them in the testimonial the benefits you got from the product or service. Give them permission to publish the testimonial on the web site if they include your sig file at the end.
2. Leave A MessageWhen you visit a web site with a discussion board leave a message. You could post a question, interesting content or a compliment about their web site. Include your signature file at the end of the message. Some discussion boards let you post your banner ad or text link.
3. Sign Guest BooksWhen you visit a well designed web site leave a compliment on their guest book. You could give them a compliment on their content, ease of navigation, graphics etc. When you post your compliment, include your sig file so other people will see it when they sign the guest book.
4. Write A ReviewWhen you visit a web site you enjoyed a lot, write a review for the web site. Write about the benefits you gain from the site, the web site design, interesting online services it offers etc. E-mail the review to the web site. Tell them they can publish it on their web site if they include your resource box at the end.
5. Send An E-mail To The EditorWhen you read a good article or enjoy a certain e-zine, e-mail a compliment to the editor. Give the editor permission to publish the compliment in their e-zine if they include your signature file at the end. The editor may post it on his or her web site.
There you go. Now you can see why even I, the publisher of my own newsletter, want to keep the information handy!
I may be considered a "packrat" in some ways, but when it comes to
tested and proven Internet home business ideas and opportunities,
there is SOME information that is just worth keeping around! Enjoy.
