The facts of Internet Marketing are No Leads, No Customers, No Business, No Income!
To Buy or Not To Buy (Leads?)is the prevailing question.
If you’ve been involved in a home based business for any significant amount of time, chances are you’ve spent money buying leads. With all the tools available to a home business owner today, there is absolutely no reason to spend money on lists of leads ever again! It is just simply a waste of money; here is why…
If you could have 1000 prospects who might be interested in your business, or 5 prospects who definitely were interested in your business, which would be more valuable to you? If you said the 1000 prospects you’d be dead wrong.
When looking for people to join your home based business the people who are “ready to buy” are always better than the ones who are “just looking”. When you call a long list of leads you can be sure that almost all of them are just looking. Sure maybe some of them are serious about it, but most of them are probably just kicking tires. That means you have to go through a lot of people just to find the few they are interested.
So what’s the solution? Well, instead of contacting a ton of people who might be interested, why not attract the people who are interested enough to contact you? That means you’re only spending your time talking to people who are already interested in working with you.
Besides the time and money you’ll be saving, having people contact you gives you the upper hand in your business. You see, people’s posture is completely different when they call you vs. when you call them.
When you call a prospect they are usually stand-off-ish, or annoyed, or make you feel like you’re wasting their time. However, when they call you, it’s an entirely different ball game.
So how do you get people to pick up the phone and call you? or sign on to your business website? Easy, with internet marketing.
The internet is a truly amazing tool that is changing the way home-based businesses are run all over the world. If you have yet to discover the power of the internet it’s time to learn!
When you market properly on the internet you are able to find more people from all over who want what you have without actually having to talk to any of them. They find you, they get the information and then they call you when they are ready (or very close to ready) to get started!
People who know how to use the power of the internet will never go back to traditional forms of marketing… it’s just not worth it.
Find someone who can teach you how to market your business online, and you’ve found the key to huge success working from home! So stop wasting time, money and energy on leads and start changing your business in 2009 with the power of internet marketing!

R-U- 3 Ft From The "Gold?"
Welcome, fellow marketer
Let me share with you an interesting story from a savy and successful mentor.
###
Back in the 1800's, in the middle of the gold rush,a man named R.U. Darby traveled west with his uncle to dig and grow wealthy.
They stopped in Colorado, and Darby's uncle staked a mining claim. Both men worked tirelessly - from sun up until sun down - using nothing but picks and shovels.
The work was back-breaking, however both were driven by a burning desire to strike it rich!
Finally after much toil and struggle, Darby and his uncle discovered what they had risked everything and traveled thousands of miles for... GOLD!
Needing heavier machinery to bring the shiny ore to the surface, they quietly covered up their find and went back home to Williamsburg, Maryland to tell their family and a few friends what happened.
As you can imagine, everyone was thrilled to hear the news!
They all pitched in to buy the necessary equipment and had it shipped back to Colorado.
As a result, the work went a lot faster, and their first load of ore was mined and sent to the smelter - a factory where the metal was melted.
The money made from this confirmed they had stumbled upon one of the richest gold mines in the state.
Darby and his uncle were overjoyed!
Just a couple more loads like this and they'd be completely out of debt - scooping up nothing but pure profit.
Then something horrible happened.
The gold just vanished.
GONE! Nowhere to be found!
Both men frantically continued drilling, trying to rediscover the vein that had supplied them with so much elation and hope.
However, this time their work didn't pay off - the vein had simply dried up. (So they thought)
Discouraged and bitterly disappointed, they decided to give up and quit.
Before catching the train back home, his uncle sold all the expensive mining equipment to a "junk man" for only a couple hundred dollars.
This junk man was smart.
He quickly hired an expert - a mining engineer, to find out for sure if the vein had gone dry.
After some inspection and further calculations, the engineer said the project had failed because the two men weren't familiar with the mine's fault lines.
He predicted the vein of gold would be found three feet from where R.U. Darby and his uncle stopped drilling!
And sure enough, that's exactly where it was discovered once again.
---------------- ARE YOU JUST THREE FEET AWAY?----------------
Anyone who sets out to achieve anything worthwhile in life will face this situation at some point. Unaware of how close they are to success - most will abandon all hope and quit, right before making it BIG.
Maybe you're at this point RIGHT NOW.
Maybe it seems like this dream of firing your boss,working from home (or anywhere else you want), and calling your own shots is something that only works for other people - not you.
Maybe you just lost your top distributor. The one you thought was going to help fund your retirement.
Maybe the cost of your pay-per-click ads are going up because you're being outbid by others.
Maybe your website just isn't converting visitors into leads the way it was four months ago.Whatever the case, remember this...
500 of the wealthiest people in America told NapoleonHill (author of "Think and Grow Rich") their BIGGESTsuccess and achievements in life came RIGHT AFTER they were completely overwhelmed by failure!
So anytime I experience what appears to be a major setback, or my goals start to seem out of reach...
I always come back to Napoleon's book and remind myself of this fact: "Failures" and "setbacks" are not actually failures. They're simply a necessary step in the process of figuring out what works - and what doesn't.
Or as ad-writer Ted Nicholas says, "There's no failures.There's only tests and results."
To Your Success,Ann Sieg
P.S. – The "junk man" made millions of dollars not because he kept digging aimlessly like the Darbys... but because he stopped and got a different perspective on the situation by seeking the advice of an outside expert.
Are you digging aimlessly in your business?

A Home-Based Business, or a Home-Based Job:Know The Difference
When people say they “want to work from home” that can mean a lot of different things. For some people they simply mean they would like to do the job they do now… from home. Many employers across the country offer work at home programs, that will allow you to do the very same job you would be doing sitting at your office, at work, from home.
However, if that isn’t an option for you and your job, you’ll have to find another way to make money from home.
The first thing you’ll have to do when trying to find something to do from home is decide if you want a home based BUSINESS or a home based JOB; and, believe it or not, they are two very different things.
A home based business is exactly what it sounds like… it is a business. You are the boss and you are in control of everything. When you own your own home based business you will be able to set your own hours, set your own goals or quotas; and best of all be able to give yourself a raise whenever you want.
A home based job is exactly that, a job… just from home. You will still have a boss, you’ll still have a workload given to you, and you’ll have a set amount of time to do it in. The boss will also decide how much you deserve to get paid and, worst of all, you can still get fired.
If you are looking for a home based job you might want to stop reading right here; because this article probably isn’t going to be a help to you. If it’s a home based business that you seek, you may have just found what you’re looking for.
That is a key difference between owning a business and having a job. Whenever people tell me they don’t want to invest any money in their business I know it’s not really a business they are seeking… it’s a job
There are about a million different options when it comes to finding the right home based business for you. So many that it can actually be a little overwhelming. One of the first things you’ll want to think about is what kind of investment you are prepared to make, to launch your own home based business.
Now that you’ve decided the freedom and lifestyle of a home based business is right for you, you will want to determine what type of product or service you can market; that meets a certain ongoing, and growing, demand.
It’s true that a job will allow you to save some money but it will never allow you the financial and personal freedom that you’ll find by owning your own business.
Once you have a good idea of how much you’d be willing to invest, you’ll want to start thinking about the type of product or service you’d like to sell or market... and you will want to make sure it’s a product that has integrity and long term value ... something that you are going to feel comfortable marketing… something that you can get excited about.
If it is a home based business you seek I recommend you consider either (a) the "De-regulated Energy" industry or (b) the "Consumer Driven Health Care" market for starters. Both have significant 6-t0-7 figure, "recession proof," income potential.
To do your diligence: to
Get paid every time a Gas or Electric utility bill is paid, and to find a complete turn-key marketing system
