So Much to Do! – How Can You Get Organised? | Time Management Solution Recommended by ‘BBC Click’
Posted on October 13th, 2009 No comments
There are two ways of failing to make money from e marketing :Doing the right thing at the wrong time
Doing the wrong thing at the right time.
So how can you get stuff done on time when it sometimes seems sooooo complicated, how do you remember what to do and when?
‘Click’ the BBC Flagship Technology Program roots out really interesting application and presenter Kate Russell found this one – Nozbe – to help get you organised.
Now this might come as a surprise to some but I am not the most organised person in the world (Not a surprise to my wife Bee of course or my Mum – they know!). More organised means more sales and more sales equals more profit so naturally I wanted to know more about anything which helps me smooth out my working methods.
I downloaded it – no problem there and there are good videos to get you up and off the mark straight away.
I am starting a new e marketing project today and I am going to track it on Nozbe so I spent a half hour finding my way around. Basically it is a productivity application acting as a virtual secretary or personal assistant prompting and reminding you what to do and when. That’s just what I need to keep me focused.
You can quickly and easily make lists of tasks, and group all the information you need – like phone numbers, notes and even pictures – all neatly stored together.
I say a business plan is something you wake up every morning and change but no problem Nozbe makes that easy, once you have a project set up it is easy add new actions to it whenever the spirit takes you. So this plan keeps the creative juices running and all your projects easily accessible in your inbox.
Great news! There is a Free version available for us lonely e marketers which enables us to have full capability for, up to five projects, five sections and 1MB storage but you will soon outgrow that and premium subscriptions offer more .
One thing to wish for – at the moment you cannot make your own custom sections so you will be shoehorning everything into a few pre-defined actions but everything internet changes day by day and they say there are plans to change this – which will be a great move forward.
The BBC says. ‘There should be more stuff like this in the world’ Internet Marketing Virgin agrees.

How do you cancel a contract or a domain on 1&1?
Posted on September 22nd, 2009 No commentsI have all my domains on automatic renewal – it really helps to make sure that you keep hold of them.
Ttoday I was reminded that my domain stopsmokingcentre.biz. is due for renewal. That was a domain I purchased stop smoking business but my on line site www.stopsmokingsuccess.com 1&1 helpfully e mailed me a month before the renewal date. It seemed like a good idea at the time I set it up but two years later I want to cancel it because I just haven’t used it and I know I never will. So I am going to cancel it but how do you cancel a contract or a domain on 1&1? Well they certainly don’t make it easy thats for sure!
I get on well with 1&1 and have 26 or so domains registered with them. Of course I could keep it, it doesn’t cost a lot – or I could sell it, f it were a red hot domain name I would, but I don’t own the .com and the english spelling of centre probably means it it isn’t worth hanging on to.
So how do you do it? – the instruction is well hidden away in the Help (FAQ) and Contract section for which there is a link on the banner and the Account tab so if you want to follow a paper chase start there (or you could go to the short cuts below – it will save time.
Click FAQ on left side panel
Then click on the Launch FAQ’s button
Then search for ‘delete a domain name’
A bit of research will take you here http://faq.1and1.com/domains/other_issues_regarding_domains/10.html
And here is the short cut!!!!
For 1and1.com go straight tohttps://cancel.1and1.com or for 1and1.co.uk use this different link https://contract.oneandone.co.uk
Enter your account number and password
Click on change contract
Select if you want to delete the entire contract or an individual domain
Select cancellation option as expire
Select Execute on either ‘end of contract’ or ‘as soon as possible’ ‘OK’
Note your Auth code if you are moving the domain elsewhere ‘OK’
Check details and Press ‘Finish’
BUT IT DOESN’T END THERE!
You will get two emails from 1&1, one saying sorry you are leaving and another with a website link to activate the cancellation. YOU MUST RESPOND TO THE SECOND ONE.
Your cancellation will not be completed until you have confirmed the cancellation request by following the special link emailed to you. If you do not activate your cancellation request within the next 7 days, your cancellation request will be discarded and your contract will remain active.
Of course I would be very upset if it was too easy to cancel my domains – my competitors might decide to ‘help’ me by cancelling them for me! So thank you 1&1 for my timely reminder, I have had excellent service from them and the telephone helpdesk is quick patient and efficient. I can recommend them Have a look for yourself here

Which WordPress Theme should you use for your website?
Posted on September 15th, 2009 No commentsWhich WordPress Theme should you use for your website?
When there are so many great free and premium themes available – the choices can be overwhelming. Which one should you use?
I’ve had pages designed for me and used premium and free WordPress themes but I’ve chosen Thesis for most of my WordPress theme work now.
So what is Thesis Theme for WordPress?
It is high-quality template system that you can use to immediately improve your site in many ways.
It has the strongest SEO (search engine optimisation) of any theme on the market today which means the search engines find you quickly and easily.
It has an easiest options panel I have ever seen. You can customize everything from the navigation menu and page titles to your RSS feed and how your archives page shows up.
Not only that, Thesis also contains additional options that will allow you to fine-tune each and every page of your site. The days of worrying about your in-site SEO are over—all you have to do is “just add quality content.”
Thesis does all of the difficult coding work behind the scenesand this is precisely what makes Thesis the choice of webmasters all over the globe.
The difference is in the details. The way your posts are laid out and visual clarity are two of the most important aspects of your site. Properly setting type on the web is an exact science, and this is not an area where you want to compromise. After all, typography is the primary vehicle for the most important thing on your site—the stuff you write!
What about customizations and design changes?
Thesis contains a future proof customization system that allows you to produce unique designs, all while keeping your changes isolated to just two key files! And thanks to a revolutionary layout generator (with 1, 2, and 3-column layout combinations) and pinpoint font controls, testing tons of different layout variants has never been easier!
The in house support staff is very prompt and very helpful. There are also tons of amazingly talented users who help newbie and veterans alike in the forums. Excellent video tutorials top off the package for me.
So while I can produce a wordpress site for virtually nothing the point is that I want my blog to be found by the search engines, be easy to manage and a delight for my readers. The added value from Thesis means that I have no hesitation in recommending you to shell out the few dollars needed.

The State of the Art in Keyword Research | Precision Marketing
Posted on August 26th, 2009 No commentsIf you are tuned in to the Internet Marketing grapevine
you may have noticed the explosion in your email
Keyword Elite 2.0 has just launched to a fanfare.
I know my inbox went BOOM! How about yours?I have seen it and believe me! – this thing is awesome!
It’s not ‘just another keyword tool’ ...
Keyword Elite is of course the ORIGINAL keyword tool
for internet marketers. It’s been around
for over 4 years and in that time, loads and
loads of other keyword research tools have popped
up all over the internet.Now, Brad has taken it to a whole new level.
Keyword Elite is updated and upgraded and Keyword Elite 2.00 is just amazing.
Yes, I know amazing is a strong word…but it really is amazing.Want to take a peek look here
I have had and used the original Keyword Elite for a couple of
years now but this is really something else!It will really be worth taking the time to learn it and apply
the information it gathers to my own campaigns and websites.(Keyword Elite is very easy to learn, by the way.)
I wanted to know ‘Can Keyword Elite find some golden nuggets to get more
traffic and sales to an established site?’It took 2 minutes to come across a keyword phrase
not even thought of before… let alone HEARD of.Another minute on KE and it showed that competition for
that phrase was really low*** Interested the results only 6 hours later? ***
– The blog post was indexed by Google within 5 hours
– The blog post imeadiatly generated 8 back links to it in Google
– The blog post has only had 5 visitors in 5 hours, but…..
(and this is what makes this product so interesting.)
*** It already generated a sale of the product that blog page! ***
Normally I don’t pass on ‘guru’ launches quite so soon,
I wait until I see reviews on line but this is an exception.Brad Callen (the software creator) is among my trusted few mentors.
He runsa tight ship with excellent customer support. All his tools
are top-notch – AND he answers email faster than many too!This where you can see for yourself
It’s not magic… it’s not rocket science…but having the right
tools can make an amazing difference for your results AND for
your sanity.Of course you CAN use Google Keyword Research absolutely free
(and you can cut your toenails with grass shears!) and that’s great
but knowing that a keyword phrase is going to be worth your time
BEFORE you work it is priceless in our business.You may like to take a look for yourself now
So, if you are in the market for keyword research software, I
highly recommend taking a look – watch the videos, there are
no secrets… everything it does is demonstrated clearly in
the videos that are free to watch.Plus, you also get a free 30 day pass for SEO Elite which is
another exceptional tool from Brad.I am floored by the results from this major revamp
and I will continue to be a big fan for a long, long time.Go, take a look… see if it’s not something YOU could use.
Back to work (and to play with my new toy. As you can tell, Keyword Elite has really, really impressed me!
It works…and I can’t wait to tell the world about it.

Need More Sponsors in your MLM ?| Black Belt Recruiting Shows You How
Posted on August 3rd, 2009 No commentsMike Dillard explains that he launched his “Black Belt Recruiting” program together with his friend Mark Wieser for the purpose of training network marketers (MLM) in how to recruit more effectively and how to sponsor more distributors.
How good is it?
Internet Marketing Virgin is test driving Magnetic Sponsoring products. To learn a bit more about it log on to BlackBelt Recruiting today at http://TonyBee.blackbeltrecruiting.com Watch a free 60-minute training video before you decide if you want to work alongside us!
Review of Mike Dillard and Mark Weisner’s Black Belt Recruiting
This is what is promised in Black Belt Recruiting.
- How six and seven figure network marketers close prospects on the phone without doing any “selling.” (In fact, with Mark’s methods, the LESS you sell, the MORE people you sponsor!)
- A sneaky way to get your competition to help you sponsor people into your business… without them even knowing it.
- How to sponsor people who have already decided NOT to join your business!
- My “wrong number” secret that lets you sponsor FAR more prospects than you are now… and with a LOT less effort.
- Four words that will destroy your chances of sponsoring new reps — even the ones who already want to sign up! (When Mark stopped saying these four words — words that 99% of network marketers say during calls — his sponsoring rate shot through the roof.)
- The secret of getting your prospects so “fired up” about your business you can literally sponsor them without even saying what company you’re in or what product you sell! (You may even have people call you a couple days later asking, “Ummm, what am I selling again?”)
- How to instantly “de-fang” loud and obnoxious prospects — and actually have them apologizing and pleading with you to show them the plan. (This secret works even if they were dead set against MLM before!)
- Startling facts you MUST know about sales people before you talk to them about MLM. (Sales pros can be your best reps — but there’s a “trick” to talking to them if you want to sponsor them into your business.)
- How to “position” yourself as a network marketing expert before you even sponsor your first distributor!
- A weird (but effective) way to make money when distributors quit your team.
- Why the best time to talk to a MLM lead is AFTER they’ve talked to other network marketers! (If you do things “Mark’s way”, you will never again worry if other network marketers talk to your leads — in fact, you’ll actually prefer they do.)
- A little talked about fear every human being has… and how to use it to sponsor even the most skeptical prospects. (This tactic is often used by car salesmen, jewelers and other people who sell high ticket items. And it works even better for network marketers.)
- The great “Guru Hoax”: Why having your team study and follow MLM “gurus” can destroy your business and income.
- A brand new breakthrough (recently discovered by social scientists) that makes even total MLM “newbies” irresistibly attractive to almost any prospect. (This incredible little secret is how some new distributors are able to sponsor dozens of people right off the bat. Here’s how they do it.)
- How to get your prospects to ask YOU to make their decision to join your team FOR them. (This advanced recruiting technique makes sponsoring as easy as taking candy from a baby. And you will probably never hear about this anywhere else.)
- How to get people at parties and other social gatherings to approach you and ask about your business…

How to use your e mail signature to promote Magnetic Sponsoring
Posted on July 31st, 2009 2 commentsMike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is based on his Funded Proposition where the funds needed to advertise for recruitment to a network marketing (MLM) business are generated by selling his digital training products. But how good are they? He says that adding a promotion for one of the Magnetic Sponsoring products capture pages to your e mail signature or autoresponder messages is an extremely effectiveway to promote your business.
“It is one of the most important ways of kicking off your plan to self fund the building of an effective network marketing team. And it’s FREE so don’t skip it!. Adding a Magnetic Sponsoring signature line to all of your personal e-mails (it doesn’t matter which one, just pick your favorite) and autoresponder e-mails will generate free traffic and more affiliate commissions.” Lets test that.
I have been using my signature to promote my web sites and businesses for some time now and so far as I am aware my messages haven’t caused a shower of prospects so I thought, if e mail signatures are so effective, what I am doing wrong?
Well I have researched and I have learned and if you have an old e mail from me you will know! I have loaded up my signatures with descriptions and lists for everything that’s my mistake. This is one case where less is more.
Mikes suggested signatures for the various magnetic sponsoring products are below. They work wonderfully for him, are quite brief and he suggests that you feel free to mix and match your favorite lines to make your own version.
Customizing your Signatures – What do you want your reader to do?
When creating a promotional email signature, first you have to figure out how you want the reader to react. Do you want him/her to visit your web site, to purchase your products, or to subscribe to your blog perhaps?
Maybe you even want to create several signatures for different reasons: One to promote your newsletter, one that links to your blog or web site, one that fits the signature rules of your favorite discussion list, and so on.
Once you have decided on the goal of your signature, you can go on and create your email signature. It is best to use a real simple text editor to create your first signature, such as Notepad. Notepad is easier to transfer to your mail server than Word. I recommend creating a text file that contains all your signatures. Then it is easy to find a specific signature when you need it, and when you create a new one, you do not have to start from the scratch but modify an existing signature.
Your signature always starts with a greeting and your own name. Depending on the audience, you can also include your title and company name. However, I do recommend that you do not include your phone and fax numbers, at least not in promotional signatures and remember KISS – (Keep It Simple Stupid!)
Recognize the Opportunity that e mail signatures offer
it is generally acknowledged that email signatures are one of the best selling tools internet marketers have. Think about it, how many emails do you send out on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? Every email you send out is a chance to sell yourself and your product or services. Don’t waste it!Now that you recognize the opportunity, how do you write an effective one? How long should it be? What do you say? Following is a step-by-step method to writing an effective email signature to bring in sales.
1. Step 1 – Link to Your Profile – Who is the I M Virgin?
Effective email signatures often link to an online profile. This is one of the best uses of this space. And, all it takes is a simple line, here’s mine “To learn more about me, please visit my online profile http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?id=192655.” That also links to my ecademy.com page, a great source of internetworking.2. Step 2 – Link to Other Websites – But only the ones that matter.
Many business builders and online marketers have several domains that showcase their various specialties and interests. For example, Bee and I have a primary site that we’ve had for years. It’s an information portal about hypnosis, life coaching and publishes articles about how the mind works www.thelifedesignstudio.com I have two other sites as well, one dedicated to health wealth and happiness for the over 50’s www.50pluslifedesign.com , and another to the helping people stop smoking www.stopsmokingconsultants.com . One www.yummychoc4health is a portal to my healthy chocolate business, four separate sites for three branches of my business.Remember KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) You cannot write an effective email signature that covers all of this, it just causes confusion. Instead list those details in your profile and send your reader there to satisfy their curiosity. For business building I include the address for the capture page which I want the prospect to click on and my blog www.internetmarketingvirgin.com which has articles which reinforce the value of my proposition.
You may need more than one Effective signatures will target a specific market to take a specific action which is why you may need a number of different signatures and ways to attach then easily.
3. Step 3 – Link to Products and/or Services You Sell or Promote
This is of course the main point an effective email signature can and should include links to products or services you sell or promote. Consider a p.s.. (post script)statement says, “p.s..: Want to learn more about my business proposition? Click here for more details.” The “here” is hyperlinked to the sales page for my business (in this case www.yummychoc4health.com )4. Step 4 – Leave it out! – What NOT to Put in Your Signature
Forget the cute, inspirational or poetic phrases in your email signature. Unless you’re a comedian with a “Joke a Day” site, you’re just wasting precious ad space.
Making a living as a freelance writer and/or an internet marketer is hard enough. Why give away ad space.5. Step 5 – Make them an offer they can’t refuse
Offer a reason why they should contact you now, to get an offer or a gift. If you have written an effective article or post, suggest an additional resource you could provide to them, or a way you could help them. Make sure they know how to quickly request this additional help.
Don’t let one more day go by without taking a moment to create an effective email signature. It can take less than two minutes to set up, and is perhaps the most cost-effective online marketing you can do. After all, it’s free!
Then Test Test and Test again – Overall, while there are no hard and fast rules regarding your signature file, there are some guidelines. Your “sig” in your everyday emails might be shorter – not containing each of the items above, while sigs for your articles or posts or sales letters may be longer. Use your good judgment, use this list of guidelines, and experiment to find what works best for you.

How can I make my computer run faster? | 4 minutes to speed up your computer.
Posted on July 27th, 2009 8 commentsHas it happened to you? Day by day your computer runs slower and slower until it is so frustratingly slow you can hardly bother to log on?
I used to wait until my wife’s son Barnaby visited and gaze in wonder as he weaved his magic and made my P.C or Web Book. useable again. That was until I thought ‘How hard can it be?’ and I asked “Barny, how can I make my computer run faster myself without ruining every weekend you spend with us?”I was right, it isn’t difficult at all, so if your systems are slow and sluggish, if they freeze up here are a few tips.
MS Config – 4 minutes invested – hours and hours saved.
Tucked away, where only techies look, there’s a simple but powerful tool, called msconfig, It is free, Microsoft builds this directly into Windows. In this article I’ll show you how to activate and use msconfig to speed your systems and make them a pleasure to use again..
Do you have any idea how many programs are running on your systems without your knowledge?
I was shocked when I opened msconfig about two dozen programs were being opened every time I switched on. or if they weren’t switched on they were ‘live’ waiting to be used. Some of them I would never use at all, some just once in a blue moon.
By shutting down many of these unnecessary programs, my computer is now running much much faster and with far fewer hangs.It doesn’t take long, it isn’t difficult, and there is little or no risk of mucking things up*When you do need them most take no more than a second or two to load manually.
Don’t the program writers love to make things sound complex
msconfig is really just a simple checklist of the programs loaded onto your system when the computer starts up. It lets you select and de-select those programs you’d like to run at start up and you don’t need many!You may wonder, if you don’t actually need them all the time why are they loaded at startup in the first place? The answer is ‘helpful’ software suppliers have placed them there when you downloaded their programs so they are instantly available for you to use but many if not most simply do not need to run at start up.
A typical example is real-time player, which gets placed in start-up by default when it’s first installed. By de-selecting real-time player in msconfig, you will return huge valuable resources to your computer and speed up your start up plus, real-time player will start only when you need it, not before!
This is what you do to start your declutter
1. Click the Windows Start button in the lower left corner.
2. Click Run.
3. Type “msconfig” (without the quotes) in the box as shown below.
4. Click OK or hit the Enter key.

msconfig startup screen
Select the startup tag – ignore the other tabs: Playing around in there can cause BIG problems!This box shows all the programs available to start up when the computer starts. Those checked with a tick actually do start as you open up the computer.
Uncheck the boxes of programs you do not want at start up (most of them!)
Leave antivirus, Antispyware, firewall and pop up blocker to run everything else can easily be opened just when you need it.Click on apply stage 1 done
Now click on the ‘services’ tab and you will see the screen below.

msconfig services screen
Click the box to select hide all Microsoft service.
Then go through the list and deselect any that you do not use or use rarely use , relax, they can be reselected at any time in the future
After you finish making changes in msconfig, click Apply then OK. then Yes to restart your computer.
After you reboot, you may see a popup Window letting you know that you have made changes with msconfig. There will be a check box that you may select to prevent this popup from displaying in the future. I suggest you check this box, and then just close the Window.
That’s it! Now just enjoy the results of your new found knowledge and marvel at just how quick you system is for just this small housekeeping chore

97% of people who start a network marketing business drop out, why is that?
Posted on July 20th, 2009 No commentsIf 97% of network marketing (MLM) startups fail, it follows that for the 3 in every 100 who take the trouble to learn what to do properly their dreams come true– for them it can be a million dollar business which costs very little to set up and goes on producing income day in day out even when they stop working on it.
Nevertheless it is true that every day, most people who join a network marketing company with a flurry of enthusiasm only to have it fall flat. Some lose a lot of money, friends and family get mad at them, everybody is worse off, and then they give up, Can you blame them?
So what is the secret? How can you and I be in in the top 3%
In his much acclaimed program Magnetic Sponsoring Mike Dillard says the answer is to ditch the tired old advice of making your list of 250 people, talking to anyone you see, dragging in family and friends. Instead why not access the limitless power of the net. That sounds attractive but does it work?
www.internetmarketingvirgin.com is test driving Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring methods. Mike claims that he can ‘help you generate an endless stream of distributors knocking down your door, credit card in hand ready to join’
That’s just what I want for my MLM businesses so will Mike’s methods work for me?
Follow me in real time on twitter and log on here to find out how I am doing.
One of Mike’s main guiding principles is that ‘in order to get you have to give’ and he certainly practices what he preaches.
When you subscribe to his mail list you will find that two out of every three e mails he sends to you are really helpful and don’t have any selling motive other than to pass on useful tips.
You are not snowed under with hype and sell either. The very first mail you get when you register your details on the Magnetic Sponsoring site offers you a 7 Day Video Boot Camp on how to attract new leads and customers to you absolutely free.
The Video Boot Camp Videos explain in detail on how you can earn money while you prospect for new distributors and generate an endless new stream of leads for free and earn commissions from your prospects even if they say no to your opportunity.
I am going to take that course over the next 7 days and I will let you know what happens for me day by day.
So what happens when you part with your name and address to magnetic sponsoring?
Well of course you get offered the opportunity to buy Magnetic Sponsoring
You might want to buy it now and see for yourself. It isn’t a fortune – just $39.95 – and if you want they will even send it out for you to try for 7 days with no commitment to buy – and offer a 12 month money back guarantee, see below.*
Mike has been around a number years now and has a great on line reputation – there really is no risk.
You also get five really valuable free gifts to help you on the way.
What happens if you don’t buy – are you hounded with spam?
No, mike will put you on his mailing list and you will get some great tips from him (actually his e mails are a master class in Internet Marketing and well worth getting to see his techniques in action) of course you can unsubscribe at any time
It’s 10.30 at night here, my free 7 day video boot camp starts tomorrow so I had better post this now before I go to sleep with this web book in my lap.
Goodnight and great dreams.
