Home Based Business: Dear Mr. Squirrel: This Way To The Nuts

Today I took my daughters to the park. My older daughter pointed to a tree surrounded by nuts. “Look at all the nuts!” She said. “Well,” I said, “I guess the squirrels will come get them.”

“But there aren’t any squirrels living in this tree,” she replied. “How will they know to come here?”

“Let’s make a sign,” I suggested. “Dear Mr. Squirrel: This Way To The Nuts.”

“But Papa,” she said, “squirrels can’t read!”

Is your internet marketing like this?
A great product - the nuts.
A hungry crows - the squirrels.
A plan to put the squirrels and the nuts together - the sign.
A plan that cannot work, because the crowd simply will not get your message.

This is probably the main reason most people who start internet businesses fail to make money: the inability to get their mesaage to their audience. Whether it’s because of bad traffic generating techniques, bad list building, bad copy writing, bad offer, bad pricing - the goal - the sale - isn’t happening.

How can you solve this problem?  Because, remember: as a marketer, your role is to solve your customers’ problems. So how do you solve your problems?

One way is with a mentor. And most Internet Marketing mentors will let you sample their skills for FREE.

Martin Franzen is one of the most succesful Internet Marketers.  He is a marketing expert who has been doing
business online for the last 9 years. His regular consulting fee is $1,000 an hour!  I have learned a tremendous amount from him, most especially the mindset that Internet Marketing is a business, not simply a series of “buy this” emails.

He has generously let me offer a trial VIP membership to his home study course (he tells you exactly why he’s doing this).  You’ll get some of the best techniques from Martin’s big $1,497 home study course, “The Internet Marketing Master Plan: How To Turn Your Passion Or Hobby Into A Profitable Automated Business On The Internet”.

Click here for an free membership to one of the most comprehensive home study courses, including 11 free special reports. So if you want to keep writing signs for squirrels, have at it. But if you want the squirrels to actually BUY your nuts: CLICK HERE.

P.S. I will purchase for you a copy of my EXCLUSIVE “Don’t Just Build A List - Build A COMMUNITY” if you upgrade your membership or take advantage of the One Time Offer. (click HERE for the sales page for this one-of-a-kind manual).

Home Based Business: 2 FREE Ways To Grow Your Business

It is seriously amazing the amount of FREE information that is available for you if you run a home based business! Here are 2 programs that you can really benefit from. The FIRST is a looking-over-the-shoulder of one of the Internet’s top marketing gurus while he builds a business! In music, this is a “master class.” In sports, this would be like playing catch with Peyton Manning. The SECOND is a giveaway event that is focused on a topic (as opposed to the grab-bag that these things usually are). This one is focused on advertising and traffic generation.

So here they are (with a little blurb):

FIRST: Sign up for Derek Gehl’s FREE 4-Day “Build-a-Biz Challenge” video training series CLICK HERE.
On April 21-24, Derek is going to start a brand new money-making website 100% from scratch in just 4 DAYS…
And get this: he’s going to do it on camera — right before your very eyes!
If YOU want to watch as Derek walks you through the EXACT steps you need to take to build a money-making website from scratch…
(So you can discover how to build your own profitable website in less than ONE WEEK!)
… Reserve your FREE “front-row seat” NOW at CLICK HERE
I have signed up for this and I am REALLY excited about this - because I personally learn BEST when I can see someone do it and then follow along. So I am definitely going to be there, watching every move Derek Gehl makes!

SECOND: The NICHE Giveaway has a unique approach: it is a multi-phase giveaway, with each phase having a different focus.
This first phase is on advertising and traffic generation. The tools are FREE (ya gotta get on someone’s list, but it’s FREE!) and it’s something like over 150 freebies! There are 3 on Sqidoo!THIS IS A LIMITED TIME GIVEAWAY!

So I figure that, between watching Derek Gehl building a business in 4 days and then having a ton of FREE tools to generate traffic - wow! Our businesses should EXPLODE!

OH! Since everyone always gives BONUSES for all those big product launches, I am going to do the same thing: For everyone who buys EITHER OFFER in EITHER PROGRAM - a free copy of my book “Don’t Just Build A List - Build A COMMUNITY
AND get our EXCLUSIVE and FREE eReport about improving your sales by improving your relationships with your customers at START YOUR LIFE NOW! The sign up is way at the bottom.
