Everybody has their favourite ways to build their email lists and keep their subscribers interested. Here are a few more autoresponder tips for email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

In the previous Web Bizz Blog post, I listed five interesting ways to use your web biz autoresponder. Today, I'll just get right to it and give you a few more handy autoresponder tips.

1) Publish testimonials and endorsements that you receive from satisfied customers. Many prospects respond well to positive comments from other happy customers. One recommendation: make sure the testimonials and endorsements are true and verifiable. It's YOUR reputation on the line.

2) Publish a thorough list of Frequently Asked Questions. Keep a record of all questions you have received from prospects and customers and all answers you have provided. Add to this list any additional questions and answers regarding your services that prospects or subscribers may potentially be interested in.

3) Publish a complete price list of all the products and services that you offer. You could also include order forms, product descriptions and other sales material.

4) Publish any terms and conditions related to your services or business transactions. You could include return and refund policies and after sales service information.

5) Publish information and articles from the inner pages of your website in autoresponder format. Visitors may not read every page on your site. Also, in autoresponder format, they can easily print out desired pages for reading when offline.

Obviously, not every idea presented here will be suitable for or appeal to every web biz marketer. I present these tips for your consideration and enlightenment only. You must choose what is workable for you and your Internet home business.

I just think it is helpful to read about more autoresponder tips for email marketing so that you can find the ideas and inspiration necessary to advance your marketing business.

Internet marketers use an online autoresponder to build and maintain email lists and to send follow-up messages to subscribers. Today's web biz blog will highlight a few autoresponder tips for email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

When you start your Internet based home business, everybody tells you to focus on building your list. "The money is in the list," they say. They tell you to place opt-in forms on your web pages to collect names and addresses, and they tell you that once your list starts to grow, you should send follow-up messages to your subscribers to get them interested in your other products and services.

That's all great advice, but what exactly do you SEND to your subscribers once you have them on your list?

Experienced Internet Marketers have this figured out but newcomers to the business are sometimes left wondering what the next step is. Here are a few innovative ways to use your web biz autoresponder:

1) First and foremost, use your autoresponder to collect leads. Leads are the people who have shown an interest in the types of things you have to offer. Your autoresponder will collect and archive their names and email addresses. You entice them to opt in to your list by offering a free newsletter, e-marketing course, series of niche-related reports or whatever you choose.

2) You might use the niche-related reports as the incentive to get them signed up in the first place, or if they are signing up for some other benefit, then you can mix mailings of reports in with the regular autoresponder mailings. The reports should be related to the theme of your website.

3) Send periodic customer satisfaction surveys through your autoresponder. Subscribers who respond to the surveys will provide you with valuable information and insight that will help you improve your website and your service.

4) Publish eBooks in autoresponder format. If you have free eBooks that you give away, or if you can find sources online where you can get free eBooks related to the theme of your website, send them through your autoresponder.

5) Do you have some past blog posts that you are especially proud of, or that contain highly relative information of interest to your subscribers? Tidy up the posts if necessary and send them as part of your autoresponder series.

As mentioned earlier, the purpose of your autoresponder is to archive the names and emails of subscribers and to send follow-up messages to them. The reason you do this is so you can include ads and promotional messages selling your web biz products, services and programs.

You don't want to send a steady stream of ads and promos or you will risk losing the attention and the confidence of your prospect, so it is important to send non-promotional and informative material more often than the promotional material.

The autoresponder tips for email marketing suggested in this web biz blog post should give you a few ideas to work with to keep your mailings informative, helpful and appealing to your subscribers.

You can find many entrepreneur resources for your home business, online, but here is an entrepreneur community that offers a whole lot of value all in one location!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

A home business marketing friend asked me recently why I advertise and promote the EvanCarmichael.com web site as much as I do. He wanted to know if there was an affiliate program involved or if I was being compensated to do it.

Well, the answer to the second part is, no, there is no affiliate program and I receive no direct compensation for doing it. Benefits I receive from the site are no different than those available to any active member of the EvanCarmichael.com community.

The answer to the first part is I do it because I honestly and sincerely appreciate the value that Evan Carmichael has built into his website. If you have never been there, or if you have been there only briefly, you need to pay Evan's site a visit, browse around, get to know it a bit better and you will see exactly what I mean.

EvanCarmichael.com is a virtual treasure trove of entrepreneur resources:

==> Are you looking for inspiration from Famous Entrepreneurs? You will find plenty of famous profiles there.

==> Are you looking for tips and information to help build or strengthen your home business? You will find an impressive selection of articles, guides and related resources there.

==> Are you looking for a community of like-minded entrepreneurs with whom you can exchange ideas, insight and encouragement? You will find it in the Entrepreneur Forums on Evan's site.

==> Are you looking for a high-traffic website where you can have your articles and blog(s) featured? EvanCarmichael.com provides for that, too.

I have been a home business entrepreneur for many years and in order to become a better marketer, I have always watched for sources of relative information, insight, inspiration and resources. There are endless such resources available on the Internet. What's great about Evan's site is that he brings so much of it together all in one convenient spot.

I have also been a huge fan of self-improvement and personal development. My shelves are filled with books, videos and CDs of the masters of motivational material. The EvanCarmichael.com website has brought me into the 21st Century with articles, stories and videos of contemporary business leaders as well as many of the grand masters of the industry.

One more reason why I like advertising and promoting Evan's site is because I believe in sharing valuable information with others for their benefit. That is my aim as an online entrepreneur: to discover beneficial programs and resources and pass that information on to others.

With that thought in mind, let me close with an encouragement to you to visit EvanCarmichael.com today and discover for yourself an incredible array of entrepreneur resources for your home business.

The secret to success in online marketing is not rocket science: create an appealing website around a service or product in demand and drive targeted prospects to it. In the process, do not overlook your local market. Here is how to promote your web biz offline, Part Two.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

In yesterday's web biz blog post I highlighted several good offline promotion methods. You can read that post for the details, but here is a recap of the methods listed:

- T-shirts
- Ball Caps
- Jackets
- Magnetic Signs
- Bumper Stickers

Today, let's focus on a few traditional marketing methods.

1. Business Cards: The popularity of business cards remains because they are small, easy to carry around, easy to hand out and they don't cost much to produce. Print them with your website address and other business information. Some marketers print an advertisement on the reverse side.

2. Flyers: Again, flyers are inexpensive and easy for you to take with you to hand out or post on bulletin boards and wherever else you are authorized to place them. Include your website address, business info and other brief, appealing information about your product or website.

3. Pens: Have some pens imprinted with your website address and other business information, then give them to people or leave them behind in the post office, banks, stores and other places where people might use them to sign receipts or other papers.

4. Mugs: Mugs imprinted with your website address and business information can be used when you have company over, or you can give them away as gifts to family, friends and even to local business groups that meet regularly.

5. Duffle Bags: Imprint your website address and business info on a duffle bag?? Why not? I have a similar bag I received from a local company and every time I use it, not only do I think favourably of the company, but other people also take notice of the company's information. Give your imprinted duffle bags to family and friends to create more exposure for your web biz.

Business promotion takes on many forms and the wise marketer will look at all methods and all opportunities to drive traffic to their website. Hopefully, today's post, Promote Your Web Biz Offline, Part Two, will inspire you to take some action in your local market.

A lot of Internet entrepreneurs focus only on marketing their home based businesses online. Why not expand your potential prospect base to your local market? Here's a few ideas on how to promote your web biz offline.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There's nothing new about these ideas, but as simple and basic as they are, it's surprising that more home based Internet business marketers don't take advantage of them.

Consider these ways to promote your web biz while doing non-business tasks offline:

1. T-shirts: It doesn't cost a lot to get small batches of t-shirts imprinted these days. Have some t-shirts printed up with your website and other business information. Give the shirts out to family, friends and others in your community.

2. Ball Caps: Same thing goes for ball caps. Get a bunch made up with your web address and other info and hand them out. People will be happy to wear the caps because they are both fun and functional.

3. Jackets: Since we're talking about apparel, why not get some jackets printed for family members and close friends? When it gets too cold for t-shirts, you can wear jackets!

4. Magnetic Signs: How about magnetic signs with your website and business info? Place them on your vehicle door or roof when travelling. The added bonus is their portability; easily switch to whatever vehicle you happen to be using ... even a relative's!

5. Bumper Stickers: Bumper stickers are still popular and they do get noticed. Print some with your website and other business information and away you go.

There you are. If you have ever wondered how to promote your web biz offline, now you've got some great ideas to get you started!

Link building remains one of the most important tasks a marketer should focus on when building an Internet home business. Here are a few link building tips for your web biz.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Developing a strong, profitable marketing business online involves a variety of methods and good practices. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is often the first thing that comes to an entrepreneur's mind when thinking about creating a successful web biz.

Effective SEO practices include an emphasis on link building.

Search engines take notice to websites that have links coming from strongly related, popular sites. The more links you can develop, and the more popular the site, the better it is for your website.

Link building can take on many forms. One excellent way to get links is to give other website owners a reason to want to link to your site. One way to encourage that interest is to offer them the opportunity to give some of your things away free to their visitors.

Many website owners are looking for free things to give away because they know it draws more traffic to their site. They may not have the knowledge or experience or time to create the desired freebie themselves.

If you have something of quality to give away that relates to or appeals to their targeted audience, they will be happy to post your website link on their site for the benefit of their prospects and visitors.

Here's where this link building tip could get exciting. Visitors they send to get your freebie may decide to also give it away and this could make your traffic go viral! The more people that link to your website the more traffic you will get.

What types of freebies are given away on the Internet to increase traffic? Here are a few ideas:

Free Information: Free reports, articles, eBooks, online audio recordings, email courses are all popular if they are designed well and offer valuable information.

Free Affiliate Program: Software is readily available online to help you turn a product or a product line into an affiliate program where your affiliates earn commissions on sales.

Free Software: If you do not have your own software products, many such resources are available online for you to offer to your visitors or other webmasters.

Free Online Services: Offer a free service of some kind, like email accounts, search engine submission, basic SEO services, marketing consulting services.

The more popular your website becomes, the more likely that other website owners will want to link with you for one reason or another.

However, the most successful online businesses are the ones that take an active and aggressive approach towards link building. The process becomes standard routine for them no matter how popular or busy their website is. You must develop a link building strategy and continually work on it.

The link building tips for your web biz presented here are worth considering if your goal is web biz traffic success.

The Twitter phenomenon continues to explode! If you're not using Twitter for your web biz, you are missing out on a great social networking opportunity.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I will be completely upfront (aren't I always?) I was a Twitter backslider for about a month or so.

I started on Twitter earlier this year and became so enthralled by it that Twitter became my primary social networking focus for a few months.

First, I started my gtbulmer Twitter account and worked hard at building up my Following and Followers lists and my Tweets list.

My focus was to become an active member of the Twitter community and I achieved that by posting a mix of promotional tweets, informative tweets, inspirational tweets and numerous retweets on a daily basis.

Once I got that account rolling, I decided I had better give my StarrBizz.com web biz a Twitter profile, so I started the StarrBizzcom Twitter account and got busy applying the above process to that one on a daily basis, too.

And then ... as if I didn't have enough to do ... I launched the Think Green 4 Life environmental niche site and decided I had better start a Twitter profile for that, too! ThinkGreen4Life Twitter account.

Things were moving forward real well ... until about a month ago when I got so busy with a variety of online web biz and offline writing projects, something had to give. Twitter was very time consuming, so without truly intending to neglect it, that's exactly what happened.

Then, about a week ago, a marketing friend reminded me of the value that Twitter can bring, and seeing a dip in my StarrBizz.com visitor statistics, I decided it was time to get back on the Twitter bandwagon.

I'm still not back up to the level of activity that I was committing to Twitter a few months ago, but I'm slowly creeping back up there.

Twitter isn't the only social networking game in town, and it's not going to produce overnight marketing success for you, but it's still a very popular site, so no matter what else you are doing, you should still make some time to Twitter for your web biz. That's what I'm doing!

Have you examined your personal development goals lately? What plans do you have for ongoing personal achievement? You DO have a plan, don't you? Because your success may well depend on how committed you are to self-improvement.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

If you are like me, you know without having to be told that you are a "work in progress." The term we are all familiar with is, "there's always room for improvement."

But honestly, just how serious are you about your personal development plans?

It's one thing to say that you try to make a daily effort to improve something about yourself. It's quite another to actually do something of value that truly strengthens your skills or qualities of character.

For most people, a program of personal development does not happen naturally. It takes focused, purposeful effort and most of the time it requires a firm schedule or agenda for it to produce beneficial results.

Web Bizz Blog readers know that I am a committed fan of personal development and lifelong learning. I wouldn't say that I am an exemplary student ... or even a focused student all of the time. But self-improvement and personal achievement are important to me.

In pursuit of my personal development goals, I am one who responds best when following a step-by-step program or guide. I have always looked to leaders in the field for this kind of direction.

With this in mind, it's no secret that I hold best-selling author and professional speaker Brian Tracy in highest esteem. So much so that I have been advertising and promoting Brian's self-improvement products and other programs over the past number of months.

One such product is The New Psychology of Achievement, Breakthrough strategies for success and happiness in the 21st century. Brian says that this training program will help you learn more, learn it faster and "apply it at lightning speed."

Available in CD or MP3 format, The New Psychology of Achievement covers a series of powerful ideas that will help you break the constraints of self-doubt and push through to a level of achievement you never before thought possible.

If you are like me and you need a structured program designed to keep you focused on your self-improvement progress, then you will very much appreciate and benefit from The New Psychology of Achievement.

Click here to watch a short video with Brian Tracy as he tells you how you can achieve your goals today: The New Psychology of Achievement

If you believe that success in any area of your life depends on your level of commitment to self-improvement, then I encourage you to examine your personal development goals and consider the many benefits of Brian Tracy's program.

How would you like an INSTANT Internet home business? What I mean is, an online superstore with thousands of regular products, specialty items, unique merchandise, collectibles ... all kinds of stuff ready for you to promote and begin earning commissions on.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Thanks to a few of my online marketing friends, I just learned one more excellent reason to love TripleClicks.com, the online superstore introduced by the SFI Marketing Group in January of this year.

Once you are a TripleClicks member, not only can you instantly promote the store as a whole, but you can choose any single item in the store, immediately get your own link for that item and begin promoting it in your emails, blogs, websites, auto responders or wherever/however you want to promote it.

Let me repeat that: you can choose any item from the TripleClicks online superstore and focus on promoting it to your prospects. Do you realize what that means? That means that you don't need a "niche marketing business" because now, every individual item in the store can become a niche market item.

Let me rephrase that one more time. Instead of locking yourself in to a particular niche business, you can now instantly promote niche products to small niche groups within your prospect base. This is very powerful when you think about it. The concept is packed with marketing potential.

How much can you earn from selling TripleClicks products? Well, it depends on a few factors as outlined in the SFI/TripleClicks commission plan, but the quick answer is you can earn Customer Commissions anywhere from 20% to 72% of the commission volume per item.

For example, if you sell a product that has a $20 commission volume (and if you are at the 60% commission level) you will earn $12. Sell four of those a day and you're earning $48 per day.

Would you like to earn $50 a day from your own Internet based home business? Would an extra few hundred dollars a week help to pay some bills or buy a few extras for you or your family?

You might be wondering what kinds of products are available in the TripleClicks online superstore. I could list a few here, but it's just as easy - and far more exciting - for you to just click this link and take a quick look for yourself. Go ahead: TripleClicks.com International Superstore

It is free to join TripleClicks and when you do you truly have an instant Internet home business. You can sell any items already in the online store, or you can list your own items and earn some extra cash. This one is a "no brainer" folks. Why not get started today?

Quote: "Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves." I received this Herbert Hoover quote with the iLearningGlobal Marketing package.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Where are you sitting with the current global economic situation? Are you worried? Stressed? Feeling cautious or careful about investing in a home based web biz?

Well, I can understand your concern, but personally, I bought into the concept of personal responsibility noted in Herbert Hoover's statement many years ago, long before I read it in the iLearningGlobal marketing information.

In fact, back in the 1980s I read the book, Earl Nightingale's Greatest Discovery, where Earl talked about the importance of developing a "prosperity consciousness." Instead of cutting back during hard times and making do with what you have, Earl said you should focus on the steps you can take to improve your economic conditions and work hard at carrying them out.

Some people prosper during hard times, he said, and if they can do it, you can learn to do it to.

Why settle for less when you don't have to? Why cut back and make do just because the government, or your relatives or well-meaning friends say that's what you should do?

If you want to live a life of prosperity, all you need to do is decide to make that your intense focus. Make a personal commitment to learn the steps to economic prosperity and carry them out diligently until you have achieved the level of success you seek.

Another statement I received recently in one of the iLearningGlobal marketing emails I receive regularly says, "As you start the week as an entrepreneur or business owner may you take great pride in who you are and what you do and the difference you make locally and globally."

Do you take pride in what you do locally and globally? Are you making a difference?

The iLearningGlobal marketing opportunity provides the product, the resources, the training and the support you need to establish economic stability and personal prosperity. It won't happen overnight and it's not going to happen by itself; you will need to commit to the business and you will have to make the effort necessary to get it started on the right foot.

If the current global economic depression has you personally depressed, then you need iLearningGlobal.

On the other hand, if you are not concerned about the current economic situation, then you probably have the right attitude about your financial future and that means that you are already half way to success! If that's the case, then iLearningGlobal is obviously the perfect home business opportunity for you and you should delay no longer in joining our iLearningGlobal marketing team.

Herbert Hoover said that the power to heal an economic crisis is in your hands. Earl Nightingale said you need to focus on prosperity because "we become what we think about."

And I say learn from the experts at iLearningGlobal and join the greatest mastermind ever assembled!

Do it today because the iLearningGlobal marketing program encourages you to take pride in who you are, what you do and the difference you can make to those around you.

Surprise! This isn't a home business opportunity I'm pitching today, or even an Internet Marketing tool or resource. Today, I am simply going to highlight one of my other websites and encourage you to Think Green for the environment!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Some people are really into the Think Green movement while others could care less. A lot of people are somewhere in between.

Most people realize that our environmental resources are diminishing and it is our responsibility to become better stewards of these resources, if not for our own benefit, at least for future generations.

This type of resource management doesn't have to be onerous. It can be easier than you might think. If everybody just did a few small things on a regular basis, it would make a huge impact over the course of time.

My environmentally-focused website, Think Green 4 Life, offers several tips and a few recommended products to help point interested and concerned individuals in the right direction.

I am not an environmental "activist" but I do believe in the need for public awareness of the importance of environmental responsibility. That was the main reason for launching the Think Green 4 Life website.

If you are interested, you can click here to read the Think Green 4 Life Review where I explain a bit more of my point of view on this and highlight a few features of the site.

So, today, all I really want to say is, Think Green for the environment! It's the only Earth we've got, so we'd better take good care of it. Will you do your part? Visit Think Green 4 Life right now to find out how.

You will find many great tools on the Internet to measure and monitor various elements of your web biz. Have you used the SEOCentro Keyword Rank Checker yet? You will get some very interesting results.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

SEOCentro has numerous free web marketing resources you can use to measure, monitor or otherwise analyze the performance of your website and your web biz.

One of the resources is the Keyword Rank Checker. This is an excellent tool to check your search engine position ranking in the major search engines for any keyword. This tool also produces an advanced report that includes related keywords.

The Keyword Rank Checker is easy to use and the results are produced very quickly. All you do is key in the keyword or keyword phrase you want to check, plus the domain (www.StarrBizz.com for example), a competitor's domain if you want (it is optional), and a verification or access code.

I entered one of my top keyword phrases - web biz opportunities - and was very pleased with the (expected) results! The phrase ranked #1 in Google, #1 in Yahoo! and ...what? Only #5 in Bing?

Actually, when I looked at the Bing-specific report, while it did show one of my web biz blog posts in the fifth position, I was happy to discover that the #1 ranking website turned out to be (drum roll) www.StarrBizz.com! I didn't check, yet, to see why that didn't show up in the condensed report, but I'm not complaining.

The report also lists a series of related keywords and when you click on any of them, it brings up a new Keyword Rank report showing where your website sits with the selected keyword. Once again, it is very quick, very informative ... and extremely interesting.

Give it a try. It's free. It's easy to use and the Keyword Rank Checker is just one of many free resources available on the site to measure and analyze the performance of your website and your web biz.

High search engine ranking means better chances for increased traffic to your website. Here are some quick tips for search engine success.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

Regular readers of my web biz blog will know that I've written on this topic a few times. For that reason, I'll try to keep this post short and I will refer you to another StarrBizz.com web page with a web biz review of the SEO resource I am highlighting today.

Some of you know that I am a big fan of Suzanne Morrison and the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) training materials she has provided me with from time to time. One of my favourites is Suzanne's 3 Steps to Search Engine Success eBook.

This eBook gives much more than what the title may suggest. Read my review, 3 Steps To Search Engine Success Review for more details on it.

However, as promised, here are the bare-bones-basics from the eBook:

Step 1: Choose the Right Keywords. Suzanne notes that this is the foundation of search engine success and I can tell you from following Suzanne's advice, it is true! Many of my pages and blog posts quickly make it to the first page of the search results for the desired keyword phrases and have managed to stay on the first page with proper follow-up.

Step 2: Optimize your Website: Thanks to Suzanne's eBook, I have learned how to improve my content in such a way so as to get the attention of the search engines. Suzanne's instructions include both the viewable text on the site plus the HTML code in the background.

Step 3: Off Site Optimization: Ms. Morrison has taught me a variety of offline techniques to increase my site's exposure, plus she has included in her eBook a number of tools and resources that allow me to determine my site's popularity.

That's all I'm going to say about it here! Read my Search Engine Success web biz review, then grab your copy of the eBook by Suzanne Morrison and begin applying her tips for search engine success today!

If you are looking for a work from home business opportunity that is simple and profitable, read on. Today, I will tell you how to start a Reseller Web Hosting Business. You may be surprised to find that it is a lot easier than you think!

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

When you are a web hosting reseller, you can sell hosting services to any number of customers and you get to set your own hosting prices. You can create unlimited websites under your own packages and brand.

Choose the right provider, and not only will you get to keep 100% of the money you collect from your customers, but you will also be able to offer them a range of support services, including sub domains, POP3 accounts, MySQL databases and FTP accounts.

Again, with the right provider, hosting packages you offer to your customers can include features such as a site builder, templates, 24/7 tech support, web mail, email aliases, auto responders and more.

You might have already guessed that I have a provider to recommend. And you may be wondering what it would cost you to become an authorized web hosting reseller. Well, be prepared to be amazed.

You can have your reseller Web Hosting business up and running in minutes and the cost is as little as just $24.95 per month.

The provider I have in mind has five reseller hosting packages available ranging from $24.95 to $99.95, depending on how much disk space and bandwidth you expect to need for your customers.

The company is HostGator, a well known and popular web hosting company.

=> For more information about HostGator, read my web biz review, Web Hosting Review, HostGator.

=> For complete details about HostGator services in general and the Reseller Web Hosting packages in particular, visit HostGator Web Hosting.

If you have ever thought about how profitable this business can be and wondered how to start a Reseller Web Hosting Business, now's your chance to find out. It costs nothing to look and you just might find your ideal work from home business opportunity.

When you talk about Social Networking you may not immediately think of online business and marketing forums, but many such forums follow similar social principles. Here are a few of my personally recommended web biz forums.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

I am a dedicated forum participant. At present, I am a contributing
member of five public forums and at least one closed membership
forum.

I enjoy online marketing forums for several reasons:

- Valuable marketing insight and inspiration

- Exposure to latest marketing ideas and trends

- Social Networking with likeminded web biz marketers

- Opportunity to share insight, experience and general opinions

- Opportunity to promote my web biz products, services and programs

- Get feedback on various aspects of my marketing practices and materials

Forum marketing, as with any form of social networking, is not always a quick way to gain recognition and get customers. It takes time to establish your presence, build relationships and develop the community's confidence in you as a preferred supplier. But it is a good way - no, a GREAT way to expand your knowledge base, become familiar with the market and learn effective marketing techniques and practices.

Every forum is different. They each have their own personality and their own unique focus on business and marketing. I like being a member of several forums for the variety; I enjoy them for their various qualities and characteristics.

Here is my current list of forum favourites:

- Entrepreneur Forums at EvanCarmichael.com: Read my profile, or click one of the links to enter the forum.

- Conquer Your Niche Forum: Membership is free and there is also an attractive upgrade option.

- Warrior Forum: If you join the forum, please note me as your referrer. My WF user name is GT. Or, for a special Warrior Forum offer with additional benefits, click here: Warrior Forum Special Offer

- Worldwide Work at Home Forum:
Work at Home ideas and resources.

- Real Work at Home Jobs Forum:
Work at Home jobs, ideas and resources.

Please accept my personal invitation to pay a visit to these recommended web biz forums. Check to see if they have something of interest to you and your Internet business. Feel welcome to contribute your experiences, ideas and expertise. That way, everybody benefits.

Every year, people spend millions of dollars on self-improvement books, CDs, DVDs, conferences and more, and what are they seeking? The exact same things as you and I: greater prosperity, better relationships, personal achievement and satisfaction. Do you see the incredible marketing potential here? It is Personal Development: A Product in Demand.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

It is no secret that one of the keystones to web biz marketing success is to promote a proven product in demand. And what can be in greater demand, what product is more fundamental to the needs of all people everywhere than personal development?

Think about it: there isn't a single person in any business, profession, job, career or field of personal endeavour, public or private, who would not benefit from some form of personal development education or instruction. Somewhere within each of us, we know that to be true.

We know that the potential lies within us to become better tomorrow than we are today. We know that with the right training or book or CD or DVD program, we can draw that potential out, we can bring to the surface the best of what already exists within us.

However, simply being aware of the potential for greater personal development is not enough. We need to act on the desire for it. That is where many of us run into a roadblock. Either we don't know how to indentify suitable personal development products, or we can't make a choice from the huge selection of worthy products available.

This is where Personal Development is the ideal product in demand and where you, as an Internet Marketer, fit in. You can tap into this rapidly expanding market and become the preferred supplier for something of obvious value that so many people from all walks of life are seeking.

You can provide them with an established program of ongoing personal development that will help them become more prosperous, enjoy better relationships and achieve much more satisfaction in everything they do, whether business or personal.

Does that make sense to you? Do you believe that others seek self-improvement and personal development similar to the way you do? Would you enjoy helping them improve their lives while at the same time establishing your reputation as a respected promoter of easily accessible online success education?

The personal development industry can do this for you. And what product can be nobler to promote than personal development? It's no wonder this industry is growing at such a rapid rate.

If you position yourself now as a preferred supplier and work at branding yourself, your financial future will be assured.

Consider This Leading Company

iLearningGlobal.TV has brought together the greatest mastermind of personal development ever assembled. The company profile reveals that after success legend Brian Tracy joined the iLG executive team as the Chief Learning Officer, "dozens of the world's top speakers, authors and trainers followed suit to create the most respected online faculty ever."

Despite industry efforts to crack down on the overwhelming glut of unsolicited email, many perpetrators still exist. Wise consumers are learning to block or ignore unwanted mail, but many still get taken in by bogus offers and trickery. Fortunately, respectable web biz marketers use permission-based email marketing.

© GT Bulmer Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.com

There has been some concern in recent years that email marketing has become unreliable, that technology and enlightened consumers have rendered ineffective the process of marketing by email.

The good news is you can still market by email if you approach the process with respect for your target market. The best way to do this is through permission-based email marketing.

In this day and age, getting permission from your prospects before ever sending them a single piece of mail is vital. Experienced marketers know this and marketing newbies would do well to learn this lesson and adopt it quickly.

Getting permission simply means designing your advertising copy and your opt-in forms to attract the prospects who will be the most interested in your line of products, your niche or the theme of your online business, then giving them a good reason to give you their name and email address. Do this effectively and they will willingly sign-up or opt-in to your newsletter, e-course or whatever it is you are offering.

Once they are signed up, it is important to honour the trust they have put in you as a preferred supplier of the promised information or services. Do not overwhelm them with too-frequent mailings, and make certain that you provide a fair degree of unconditional value in your mailings that is equal to or greater than the amount of advertising or promotional material that you send. In other words, don't just send ads; send as much or more informative and useful material that is not sales-oriented or promotional in nature.

The sign-up process I use for my Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter is often called the "confirmed opt-in" process. After the prospect signs up using any of my opt-in forms, they receive an email message that requires them to "confirm" their interest by responding to the email. All they have to do is click the confirmation link and it is done. A browser window opens with a message confirming that their opt-in is complete and they will begin receiving my newsletter.

Some marketers have suggested that email marketing is in jeopardy, and while it is true that nobody likes junk mail or receiving too much ad mail, in my opinion, email marketing is still a viable choice for any respectable online marketer.

In fact, permission-based email marketing can be a highly effective method of reaching targeted prospects and selling web biz products and services.
