My 2 Cents Worth - Editor's Chit-Chat
Hi All! Welcome to another Sunday with yours truly and thanks so much for letting me be a small part of your day. :~) If you're new today, a warm welcome to you. I hope you'll enjoy the issue. I think spring has finally sprung here in northern Michigan. It was beautiful Friday and Saturday with temperatures in the upper 50's to mid-60's. And today it's supposed to be 78 degrees. I spent a couple of hours outside yesterday afternoon, raking and cleaning up the yard. Man, that's hard work, at least for skinny little arms like mine! LOL I couldn't get it all done. My shoulders were absolutely screaming at me! I put some birdfeeders in both the front and back yard a couple weeks ago. I enjoy watching the birds, squirrels and chipmunks that come to feed, although I'd prefer just the birds. There are 2 black squirrels that keep stealing the feeders! (A solid ball of birdfeed on a stick that hangs from the tree.) At least I assume it's the squirrels. I suppose it could be a neighbor. LOL My cats like to look out the windows, too, at all the goings-on in the yard. I can see the excitement in their eyes when one of the little critters comes close to the patio door. They change their tune real fast, though, when the dog next door shows up. They're not quite so big and bad then. LOL Well, it's time to let you get on with the rest of ths issue. There's some great stuff below, so don't miss a thing. I'll see you here in 2 weeks. Until then, be profitable! Denise P.S. Do you have your Silent Profit Machine? Click Here

Marketing Tools - Implements or Impediments! by Jerome Dsouza As they say...a bad carpenter often blames his tools. And in the hurry of assigning blame elsewhere he makes the cardinal mistake of losing sight of the real thing - the fact that he has tools! By considering his implements as impediments he very effectively destroys all hope of ever using those tools profitably. In the process he causes even more harm - he loses his opportunity to learn and grow! Marketing tools are like the carpenter's tools. In the hands of an experienced marketer minimal use can produce major artistic results. In the hands of an unresponsive learner they may well be impediments rather than implements. In network marketing - as in any other field of work - a whole array of marketing tools are available to use on the business. Every facet of marketing finds a tool specifically designed to make that task easier, more efficient, and finally, more profitable. Many tools are available free of cost while others could cost from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. Many of us have tons of ebooks on various aspects of marketing catching e-rust in our hard drives. Some of us who can't handle the simple tools go purchasing complicated shiny gadgets but rarely ever use all that tool's capability. The reason for this is either procrastination, a lack of discipline or the absence of the one thing which does not come with the tools - the skill with which the tool should be used. Improper use of mechanical tools can be a dangerous situation leading to serious injury even. Improper use of marketing tools leads to similar serious injury - to your marketing efforts, only this time the injury is not noticed as easily because no pain is felt. Are you using your marketing tools as implements or impediments. Are you reading the stuff you download? Are you also applying what you read to your marketing efforts. Are you then - taking a step back and - seeing how your handiwork looks? Maybe it needs more finish? Maybe it even needs to be completely redone! Or maybe that is all this particular tool can do and you need to find another, more advanced tool to continue? Knowledge is a tool. Check that hard drive today. What have you got stored there that can be used to move your marketing at a faster rate. You have stuff on how to add zing to your ads? Use It. You have stuff on how to optimize your site for the search engines? Use It. You have stuff on how to leverage adsense? Use It. Then step back and survey your work. Keep the tools that make a difference. Discard those that don't but before doing so carefully check it was the tool at fault not your skill. Invariably you will find it's your skill and not the tool. Use tools as implements - the more you use them the better you will get at using them. Using them once in a while or using them hap-hazardingly will make those same tools into impediments rather than implements.

This was taken from a newsletter that I receive each day. Get daily Internet tips, tricks, jokes and information: http://www.resource-a-day.net/member/index.cgi?gifts_n_things2002 A rather bad man dies and meets Satan in a room with three doors. Satan explains, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that you have to spend eternity behind one of these doors. But, the good news is that you can take a peek behind each and take your choice." So, the man opened the first door and saw a room full of people, standing on their heads on a concrete floor. Not very nice, he thought. Opening the second door, he saw a room full of people standing on their heads on a wooden floor. Better, he thought, but best to check the last door. Upon opening the last door, he saw a room full of people, standing waist-deep in excrement and sipping coffee. "Of the three, this one looks best," he said and waded in to get something to drink while Satan closed the door. A few minutes later the door opened, Satan stuck his head in and said, "Ok, coffee break's over, back on your heads!"
Expert Advice
Each week I'll publish some tips or advice. I'll try to cover every subject I can think of, but if you have any suggestions, please send them to me at the e-mail address listed below. Chris wrote and asked "How does one go about building an opt-in list without a website or product?" All you'll need is an autoresponder to build your list and keep in contact with your list members. If you have no website you won't be able to use an opt-in form for people to subscribe, but all autoresponders that I know of have a subscribe email address. You'll need to provide that email address to prospects so they can receive your information. For instance, my newsletter subscribe address is hbbnews@aweber.com so prospects just send a blank email to that address to get added to my list and receive my newsletter. If you don't have a product of your own, you can promote affiliate products. You can also start to build your list with nothing more than free information about a product you're currently creating. Then when your product is ready, you've got a list of potential customers to sell it to.
