Think Backwards to Succeed in Business

There are two ways to start a business.

Method #1 is the method chosen by nearly all online marketers, and it goes like this:

First class flyers get fancy lounges in the airport, preferential boarding, comfortable and roomy seats, their own special first class flight attendants, real food and drinks, blankets, pillows… just about whatever they want within reason.

The first time I flew first class, it was on…

If I remember correctly, it cost $1,000 and arrived in a heavy box with tons of CD’s and two thick manuals. And it was perhaps one of the best investments I ever made in learning not just good, but great copywriting that converts like crazy.

This morning I was cleaning out some old files,…

How to Be New and Noteworthy in iTunes

There are entire courses on how to get into the “New and Noteworthy” section of iTunes, but you don’t need them. Instead, do this:

If you’re about to put your first podcast on iTunes, don’t. Wait until you have at least 3 episodes recorded (5 is better) and THEN put them in iTunes.

This way when people listen to one of your podcasts, they can go back and listen or download more of them. This…

Is Your Sales Pitch Believable?

I received a marketing email telling me how GREAT a new video making product is, because it works in conjunction with a piece of software almost everyone already has.

Cool!

So I go to check it out, and guess what?

They NEVER show you what the videos you’ll be making will look like.

Not ONE single example!

Worse still, the video they use to sell the video maker is a regular talking head type of…

Make Your Accounts Pay for Themselves

Take a look at your monthly subscriptions – software, autoresponders, membership sites – and then decide to make them pay for themselves.

Sign up as an affiliate for each one, post a review for each on your website along with your affiliate link, and then add a resources link on your main page.

No, you won’t make a fortune this way, but you will likely make enough to more than cover all of these…

The “Magic” Email

If you’re trying to contact business and they’re ignoring your emails, here’s what you do. Send them the “magic” email.

I didn’t name this. In fact, you can find several good articles about the magic email online.

And no, it’s not really magic. But in many cases it does indeed get a person to talk to you and even invite you for a meeting.

It works like this:

Turn Old Books into Fast Cash with Etsy

Here’s a quick idea to make some extra income on Etsy.

If you don’t yet have an Etsy seller’s account, sign up for one.

Then buy books with ‘plates’ – those prints that look especially good. You’ll find them for all sorts of things, but what you’re looking for is pictures people would want to hang on their wall. For example, I found a seller who buys certain art books from the 80’s and 90’s and…
