COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, December 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DillmanSolutions owner, Mitchell Dillman, announced today, his intentions to utilize the powerful Online educational, training and support system of Carbon Copy Pro to reinforce his efforts in bringing awareness to the ever growing issues of Global Warming. On the heals of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Mitchell Dillman unveils his vision of environmental hope. While quickly establishing himself as a leader, both within the Carbon Copy Pro Internet Marketing community, as well as in the 'Green' home based business arena, Mitchell Dillman is rapidly growing his new business. DillmanSolutions is a dynamic, online business, designed to allow anyone, regardless of background or education, the ability to start-up their own eco-friendly business.
"What people don't seem to realize is how much of a positive impact the home business industry is having on our environment." stated Dillman, "It may not seem significant, however, you must realize how many tons of carbon dioxide are spewed into the atmosphere during each and every 'rush-hour' commute happening daily around our globe?" explained Dillman. "The average American alone, emits upwards of 20 Tonnes of deadly co2 per year." Mitchell went on to say, "When you realize how many new home based businesses are starting up every day you can begin to understand the dramatically positive effects that working from home can have on our eco-systems."
In the United States alone, recent studies indicate that there are upwards of 40,000 to 60,000 entrepreneurs starting a new business every month. In addition to these new, start up businesses, traditional corporate jobs are increasingly being outsourced to stay at home consultants. Mitchell Dillman goes on to describe that, "It appears as if these new work-from-home opportunities have also led to a significant decrease in the production of solid waste. Combine this with the added benefit of a reduction in the use of water, electricity and other resources, the home based business model begins to make a real environmental impact." Mitchell said, "Home businesses offer a true green and sustainable option over the traditional brick and mortar companies."
Mitchell Dillman and DillmanSolutions are dedicated to helping others create wealth and achieve new levels of personal growth, while working and living a sustainable lifestyle. In addition to promoting Carbon Copy Pro, DillmanSolutions offers a variety of answers encompassing all areas of Wealth, Health and Wisdom.

Internet Marketing and Social Media 2010 Predictions by Michelle MacPhearson
As 2009 winds to a close, we look to 2010 with antici…….pation and enthusiasm. It’s a whole new year with a clean slate. And with the new year comes a reflection on where we’ve been and where we’re going. The web has changed drastically and that changes the way we, as internet marketers, do business.
2009 Predictions: 4 1/2 out of 5 Predictions
Before rolling into 2010 predictions, let’s establish a track record – how well did I do with my 2009 predictions? Let’s see!
1. 2009 Prediction: With the “down” economy, opportunities in “make money online” will be even bigger. TRUE! The business of teaching others how to do internet marketing has grown exponentially. Ed Dale saw the biggest number of 30 Day Challenge participants ever in August while my own Crowd Mountain launched and grew exponentially in February. Big product launches, once again, broke sales records. But even folks new to the game were able to break out and do big business. There’s still more room than ever in this market.
2. 2009 Prediction: Data portability becomes more a norm rather than an exception. TRUE! You’ll be hard pressed to find a new social service these days and not have it integrate with Facebook, Twitter, and/or Gmail to port your current contacts into your new profile.
3. 2009 Prediction: Using video as part of the sales process will become a necessity. TRUE! I’ve continued to run tests, and a salespage with video has outperformed a salespage without video every time. Simply put, if you’re not using video, you’re leaving money on the table.
4. 2009 Prediction: People will bring more focus to their social media marketing efforts. FALSE! I wish this were true, and I could probably call it true without any arguments from readers, but it’s just not. I still get messages nearly every day with people overwhelmed by the vast array of social media sites, and while I think many folks “get it” there are still many who don’t. So I’ll shout it from the rooftops one more time: Pick 2-3 social media sites that are active in your niche and focus on them rather than spreading yourself too thin across every available network!
5. 2009 Prediction: As a product owner or a niche leader you’ll be expected to be available, responding and engaging with your “tribe” more often than not. TRUE! People want to know you’re available to them more than ever, and those that are tend to rise to the top.
Drumroll please…. Here are my 2010 internet marketing and social media predictions:
Location, Location, Location
Many folks are claiming location based services, like BriteKite and FourSquare will be the breakout hits of 2010. I disagree. Location WILL become increasingly important in 2010, but for mass adoption, these services will have to be rolled into existing, already adopted platforms, like Facebook and Twitter.
My mom lives in Oakland and works in San Francisco (two areas where loacation based services have really great data from their users). Would she EVER use something like FourSquare? No. Would she use it if it was integrated into Facebook? You betcha.
I live in a little mountain town of 900 people. I can’t really even use these location based services – my town is literally not on the map! Would I be interested in my local Facebook friends (most of the locals I know are on Facebook exclusively) location info? Absolutely! Can I get it anywhere else? Nope.
The digerati and web wunderkinds aside, most folks don’t have the time and interest in creating and maintaining another social profile.
After recording this prediction on IMTW last night, rumors started flying that Google was in talks to buy Yelp, a local business reviews site. It’s speculated that Yelp data could be integrated with Google Maps.
And this is where I predict successful location based services will go in 2010: merged into already existing products that have been adopted by the masses.
The Death of Software Downloads
We’ve already seen it with services like Google Docs and Gmail – why keep files or email on our harddrives when we can keep them on the web and access them anywhere?
I made the switch in 2009 to storing as much of my data as possible online, so it doesn’t matter where I am or which computer I’m on, I have access to everything I need.
It makes sense from a user standpoint in terms of being able to work with the software wherever you are. But it also makes sense from a business standpoint:
* Updates are server-side and seamless for the user, no re-downloading a re-installing (which inevitably leads to customer support issues)
* Web based applications work on Mac or PC – you’re not leaving a giant segment of your market behind
* It’s easier to find web developers
* Less compatibility problems with different operating systems and conflicts with already installed programs which leads to less customer support issues
* Allows for a recurring access charge
We’ve seen some movement in this direction in the internet marketing space in 2009, and in 2010 web-based software (aka “cloud computing”) will become the norm.
Link Popularity Gets Social
While simply having links on social media properties was once enough to boost your search engine ranking, in 2010 the popularity of those links will become a bigger ranking factor.
Consider this scenario:
Two blog posts on the same topic. One is retweeted a gazillion times, is linked all over Facebook and has a ton of comments. One gets little traction in the social media space. Which one do you think *should* rank higher in the SERP’s? The one that people shared the most!
The easiest way to achieve this is…. producing great content that people will want to share. You can also encourage people to share your content by using the tips in The Three Pillars of Social Media Marketing.
Social Media Marketing Matures
In 2010 social media marketing will mature in a variety of ways.
Firstly, we’ll move away from conversations about why one should be using social media in your marketing towards *how* to use social media in your marketing. It will be assumed that a social media presence is necessary, and we’ll see more instruction on exactly what to do.
We’ll also see more focus in how businesses use social media. Rather than using SM “because it’s the thing to do” we will more strategic at moving folks from social media into our sales funnels. Social media marketing will be less about “joining the conversation” and more about specifically growing your business (the “conversation” is still important, but our joining of it will be more purposeful).
Finally, our collective psyche’s will move away from a “bigger is better” mentality. Rather than valuing social media by the number of followers or fans, we’ll look more at those followers’ and fans’ engagement. 100,00 YouTube views or Twitter fans does not sell products if those folks are not engaged.
Wordpress As a True CMS
We love Wordpress, and it’ll just get bigger and better in 2010. With products like Affiliate Theme and Squeeze theme, and more flexibility with offerings like the Thesis Theme (used on this blog), Wordpress is moving more towards a true CMS that can be used for anything, without custom coding.
Building a membership site or a review/rating site or even a salespage exclusively with Wordpress has picked up steam in 2009 and will be even simpler in 2010 as developers create more plugins and themes to do so.
Products in this space will grow and our adoption of them will follow.

As is our tradition, Lynn Terry, Paul Colligan, Ed Dale and I recorded our 2010 predictions show last night for Internet Marketing This Week (that podcast will be out shortly). Watch the @IMTW Twitter feed or subscribe on iTunes to listen.

Your Success In 2010 And Beyond Depends On These 10 Things Written by Rose Mis on Nov 30, 2009 3:44 AM
In order to be successful in business ….
You have to find a need and fill it … people buy solutions to their problems...
You have to be unique…you have to be someone or have something that separates you from the competition…
And…I believe that this is the most important of all…
You have to have a certain kind of mental toughness because the difference between winning and losing in business is so small that most people don't get it and they lose JUST short of winning…
You can be doing 99% of everything right in business…
But if you miss that 1%…that winning edge…that mental toughness…it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to win.
There are no tests designed to measure what's in the heart of a man or a woman. The key to winning BIG is inside of the individual person. It is their integrity…their people skills...their character. Once they develop the winning edge…They become UNSTOPPABLE…They are force to be RECKONED WITH…They are the LEADER that people are LOOKING FOR.
Here are 10 things that I believe you need to WIN BIG in Life and Business
Get Excited. People cannot handle any more negativity. They can't handle any more wimps and whiners. 90% of the population can stay excited about something for 2-3 months and then they are done with it and on to something else. 7% of the population can stay excited for 2-3 years and then they are off to something else just before they exprience TRUE success. 3% of the population can stay excited for 20 or 30 years…however long it takes to be successful. Those are the folks that win BIG. Those are the success stories that we all hear about. These are the folks that breathe life..excitement... and enthusiasm in every person they meet and into everything they do. People LOVE being around positive...enthusiastic...excited people. Be that person and others will be drawn to you like moths to a flame.
Become a Dreamer Again. You have got to have a great big fat dream that lights you up like the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center. It has to be so vivid that whenever you think about it your heart starts pounding in your chest. It's the dream that keeps you awake at night trying to figure out how you are going to make it happen. If you don't have a dream like this you are dead in the water when things get tough. You will have nothing to keep you moving forward and you will quit. Make your dreams so real for yourself that you have no choice but to become the you of your dreams.
Feel GOOD About Yourself. You have got to OBLITERATE the words I CAN'T from your vocabulary. You have got to bury them and let them rest in peace. They can never fall from your lips again..they can never enter your mind again. When you banish those words of lack and limitation from your vocabulary and your mind … YOU CAN DO ANYTHING…YOU BECOME UNSTOPPABLE
Stand For Something. People are fed up with wishy-washy lookie-loos…fence sitters. People are looking for…they are demanding honest LEADERS with integrity to step up and reveal themselves…to LEAD. People are tired of the con artists…the shills who are willing to sell any kind of junk just to make a buck. People are clamoring for honesty. When you step up and stand for something, when you speak with integrity and honesty…the right people will hear you and flock to you. You become the leader that they have been searching for.
Get Used To Being Controversial. You have got to be controversial. When everyone is zigging…you need to zagging. If you are doing exactly what everyone else is doing you are average and ordinary. You are nothing more than mediocre. If you want everyone to like you…mediocre will do the trick just fine. When you choose to be controversial…you become extraordinary. Lot's of people won't like you. Get used to it. You CAN be awesome and tough at the same time. The RIGHT people will appreciate you for it. And they will join forces with you because you are singing a song that is music to their ears.
Get Totally Committed. You must be totally committed to what you are all about. You can't just try something out to see if it works for you. You can't become successful by dipping your big toe in the water to see if the temperature is just right. It's all or nothing. JUMP IN and SWIM. You have got to be committed to doing whatever it takes to get the job done. Commitment gives you the courage you need to fight back..to motivate yourself when things get tough. And trust me….things will get tough. Things will not always work out the way that you want them to. Commitment gives you the strength you need to pick yourself up for the 8th time right after you have fallen flat on your butt 7 times. It gives you the strength to talk to one more person after 100 have said NO to you. It gives you the strength to learn the skills that you need to master a new piece of technology. Commitment gives you confidence…it strengthens your faith in yourself and what you are doing.
Treat People Right. You have got to treat people right. You have got to LOVE people. You have got to CARE about them. You got to be willing to get burnt once in a while so that you can show people how GREAT they really are. Everyone wants to be SOMEBODY. Everyone wants to know that they are IMPORTANT. Everyone wants to know that they are VALUABLE. Everyone wants to be APPRECIATED. When you choose to speak a person's GREATNESS INTO THEM. When you choose to show someone just how IMPORTANT THEY ARE, you just became the miracle that they are looking for.
Have The Right Priorities. You have to have the right priorities. You are a holistic being. Your life must be in balance. Tunnel vision doesn't cut it. If you have a lousy spiritual life…or a lousy personal life…ultimately your business will pay the price for your imbalance. YOU are your business. If you are not thriving personally or spiritually…it will show up in your business sooner or later. The healthier you are…the healthier your business is. Take the time to work on all areas of your life. Your business will thrive becaue of it.
Have The Heart of a Champion. You have got to have the heart of a champion. The desire and will to win is EVERYTHING. You have got to get FIRED UP and STAY FIRED UP. You are here to make a difference with your life. You have got to be willing to pay the price and a little bit more that success demands of you to win. You have got to be mentally tough and you can never…ever quit. QUITTERS NEVER WIN and WINNERS NEVER QUIT.
Be A Leader. You have got to be a leader. Leadership is EVERYTHING. This world desperately needs leaders. Leaders make things happen…they JUST DO IT. "Almost" is a lifestyle for most people…I almost did this….I almost did that… Winners DO IT…Leaders DO IT. They do whatever it takes to get the job done…they do whatever it takes to win. They roll up their sleeves..they hunker down and they just do it…and do it..and do it..and do it…until the job gets done !! Get rid of the excuses… get rid of the I can'ts…banish the I don't want to's…and just DO IT.
I would love to hear your thoughts on what you believe it takes to be successful in both life and business. We are going into the SECOND decade of 21st century and I am sure that everyone has a suggestion or two about what they think are the most powerful attributes of success. So, take a minute to comment and share with everyone else !! I am grateful for all of your feedback !!
P.S. It would be totally awesome of you if you could “Re-Tweet” this post for your Twitter friends. I know this type of content tends to be popular there and if you liked it… it might be something your followers will like as well. Thanks again.

The Law of Attraction Can Work For You or Against You in Your Home Based Internet Business 0 VOTES Up Find This Useful? Vote! Submitted by Mike Morgan on 10/27/2009 5:08 AM
The Law of Attraction is an extremely powerful influence in your home based internet business. All of your results both positive and negative are directly related to the influence of this law. The law of attraction simply means what you give is what you get. If you operate with a mindset of fear or worry, or you are focused only on what you can get for yourself it will be extremely difficult to make any progress in this very competitive environment of online business. Your focus may be on making a lot of money fast and this may be for a number of reasons. Getting out of debt is one of the main reasons people want to earn money fast but if the mindset is all about self the going will be tough.
If on the other hand you are genuinely focused on helping others achieve their dreams you may be surprised to witness the monetary benefits. This should also be the focus of the leaders in your internet marketing business. Unfortunately too many online businesses are focused on wealth creation for the people at the top. This is not a healthy model to be involved with.
I witnessed an interesting example of how the law of attraction can have a negative outcome while out walking this week. A woman on a mobility scooter was driving along the footpath I was on when she spotted a car parked across the path in front of her. She shouted out to me asking me “who owns that car?” I was somewhat bemused as of course I had no idea. She went on to rant about how inconsiderate people were always doing things to make her life difficult. Having some sympathy for her predicament and having noticed there was plenty of room for her to pass safely behind the car I offered to step onto the road to slow any traffic and to make any motorists aware she was going around the car. “No, I will not” she said and with that she pulled out her cellphone and dialed a towing company. She was prepared to sit and wait for half an hour in order to punish an individual she didn't know for a transgression they would have had no idea they had made. Absolutely surprising! I knocked on the door of a nearby house and the very apologetic owner moved the car under a storm of ugly abuse.
The whole situation got me thinking about how this woman is continually inviting misfortune with her aggression and unpleasantness and how her life could be a whole lot better if she wasn't angry at everyone around her and if she didn't look for ways to hurt or punish others. This of course will not happen. She will probably vent on some talkback radio station or write scathing letters to papers the whole time pitying herself for her terrible situation.
It is almost a shock to meet someone like this as I am so used to working with an incredibly positive and giving group of entrepreneurs. The people I work with are constantly giving to others. One of my mentors has a saying “Do something really good for someone today and do it in the knowing that they could never repay you and watch this world become a better place!” Absolute genius really
If on the other hand you are genuinely focused on helping others achieve their dreams you may be surprised to witness the monetary benefits. This should also be the focus of the leaders in your internet marketing business. Unfortunately too many online businesses are focused on wealth creation for the people at the top. This is not a healthy model to be involved with.

Affiliate marketing continues to be an excellent way to earn a substantial income. You've heard the usual rundown of attributes that make affiliate marketing advantageous. They include not having to own or create your own product, not having to speak to any customers, and not having to develop and maintain your own website. Although all these things are true, what most people fail to place an emphasis on is that you be a successful affiliate marketer, you have to know how to sell!
Work at home, affiliate marketing success is absolutely hinged upon this simple premise; Advertise Low/Sell High. You must keep your advertising costs low and your profit margins high. In this short article, I am going to provide you with 5 steps that will help you blast your affiliate commissions through the rook while keeping your advertising costs low.
1. Make Use of Blogs and RSS Feeds: Blogging can be a very lucrative and free way to advertise affiliate programs. Simply place a banner or link to the product you are advertising along with a short review of the product, plus other relevant, and interesting posts. Now that you've created your blog, you need to bring traffic to it. This is how you do it. First optimize your blog just like you would any other website. If you need help on search engine optimization, just do a search on the Internet, you'll find plenty of free resources. Next submit your site to the top blog directories, acquire back links, and remember to post relevant and meaningful information often.
Concerning RSS. If you use Blogger, they will provide a RSS link for you for free. Simply submit it the top RSS directories as well and place a chicklet on your blog, so that interested readers can subscribe if they need to.
2. Write Free Articles: Free articles are another excellent way to earn affiliate commissions without spending any money. Simply find a product your would like to sell and write a short, informative article on the topic. Be careful not to make it a sales pitch, but something that will benefit the reader. Be sure to create a small ad that speaks about the product you are promoting and place this in your resource box. This is where you plug your product. Note: Some article directories do not allow affiliate links, so you may want to create a blog to promote your product, create an actual website or buy a domain and simply forward it to whatever product you are selling.
3. Ask For More Information: This is a very powerful and simple technique that can be used to jumpstart your affiliate earnings without monetary investment. Here's how it works. Go and visit some of the top classified sites on the Internet. Simply do a search on Google, Yahoo or MSN, if you aren't familiar with any. Visit the work-at-home, and business opportunity sections. Write down their email addresses and simply request more information. But before you do, write your email signature as a small ad. Never attempt to sell them anything in the body of your email, this might be considered spam. Just simply ask for more information and create an enticing tag line as your email signature. You may want to create a separate email account for this.
4. Purchase Offline Classified Ads: You can purchase space in Thrifty Nickel Ads rather cheaply. Try to find a niche that isn't overrun such as work-at-home or business opportunities. You can place your ad online, but I've found that if I can save nearly 50% if I purchase the ad space in person, or if you mail in your payment. Call them first and ask them how much the ad will cost if you mail in your payment.
5. Go Viral: Create a small, free e-book, roughly 5-10 pages on a topic relevant to what you are selling. Place your affiliate link somewhere in the book. Then submit your
e-book to popular free ebook directories. You can find a ton of them by doing a search on the Internet for free e--book directories. You'll find a bunch.
There you have it, 5 simple steps to help you skyrocket your affiliate commissions and work-at-home with little or no budget. What are you waiting for? It's time to get started. Get to work already!

The #1 Secret To Building A Business Online (Hint: You’ve Had It All Along) by Eric Goldstein
his is a guest post by one of my top blogging students, Eric Goldstein. To learn more about Eric, visit his blog at http://CreateWithEric.com. Enjoy! Katie Freiling
ericgoldstein The #1 Secret To Building A Business Online (Hint: Youve Had It All Along) People are running around looking for the big SECRET to building their business using social media and internet marketing. Is this you? If it is… you’ve had the secret all your life. You just might not be using it effectively.
Do You Want To Know ‘The Secret’?
Isn’t it funny… Here I am telling you that you already know ‘the secret’ and I’m asking you if you want me to tell you what it is. I just found that comical!
So the thing that I believe is the most IMPORTANT ingredient to building your business online is creating strong RELATIONSHIPS. Not much of a secret, huh? If you are like most people, you were waiting for me to give you something that would knock you back off your chair.
It’s usually the simplest things in life that are the most POWERFUL. People are always looking for the complicated strategy or technique… because if they don’t understand it then it has to be something huge. Let go of that belief if it’s one of yours… it will destroy you!
Why Is This So Powerful?
Building great relationships is by far the BIGGEST skill you can learn that will EXPLODE your business… and IT IS a learnable skill. No matter how you look at it, you’re going to be building relationships. You’re either going to build long lasting meaningful connections or inauthentic empty ones. It’s your choice…
Take a look at the people who are successful in the business you are in… or any business. What is the one common trait that you find in all of them? Really think about this for a minute, this is important…
They’ve learned the skill of building strong relationships with their business partners, their clients and the people on their list. I’ll bet if you interview these people and ask them what’s the skill that has contributed most to their success; the common answer you will get is building good relationships.
It really doesn’t matter what business you are in, this is the thing that is going to determine if you succeed beyond your wildest dreams or fail miserably. I really hope you’re paying attention here because this is the information that has and will continue build fortunes!
This is the one skill that is TIMELESS! All other strategies, tips and tricks stop working after a while as times change and new technology comes on the scene. Once you master this area, you will see MASSIVE changes in the results you are getting in your business!
An important thing to remember is you can have all the best strategies for driving traffic to your blog or website, but if you don’t know how to build and nurture a relationship with those people, you’ll have WASTED your time and energy!
Let’s Take A Journey Back In Time…
Let’s go back to the time when you were in school. Get a clear mental picture of the person that was the most popular kid in school. I’m talking about the person that ran the school and everyone wanted to hang out with. Have this person in mind? Maybe that person was you J
What about this person made everyone want to be friends with them? What made them so ‘attractive’ that others wanted to hang out with them? If you really look at it, they were GREAT at building relationships. I bet if you tracked that person down today, they’re probably doing really well in whatever business they are in.
Is Building Strong Relationships Really A Learnable Skill?
The answer is YES! It’s just like baking a cake… if you know all the ingredients that someone used to bake a yummy cake, then YOU can bake the exact same cake. You just have to know what to do and you can create the same success as them.
I’m going to go through the steps on what it takes to build these strong relationships. If you refer to this list often and really put this stuff into action, you will see a SHIFT in the direction of your business… and that direction is UP!
The 4 Keys To Building Strong Long Lasting Relationships:
Key #1: Always come from a place of GIVING and adding VALUE
It’s really funny… I see all of these network marketers running around online slamming their business opportunities down everyone’s throats. Did they ever look up what the word ‘networking’ means? The definition is ‘The cultivation of productive relationships for business’.
Spamming everyone with their business opportunity does not fit anywhere in that definition! Yet if you go to Facebook or Twitter right now, the walls are filled with people telling you how they can help you make a million dollars by Friday… it’s ridiculous!
This is probably the most important key that we will go over. You want to come from a place of adding value to someone’s life. People like to connect and follow people that help them and contribute to the growth of their life. Be giving of information that will make a difference in their life. You don’t always have to sell someone something to help them. Ooooh, that’s a big lesson to learn. When an entrepreneur’s ‘GIVING’ becomes more than the price they are asking for their goods or service, then they’ve arrived… as a true entrepreneur.
Think about this for a minute… Who in your life do you look up to and respect? Do they come from a place of ‘take’ within your relationship? Or do they contribute to you and add value to your life? We all know this stuff because these are the people that we are ‘attracted’ to, but sometimes we’re just not conscious of it when we’re out there mingling online.
Key #2: Create TRUST between you and your prospects, business partners, etc.
Trust is everything! I don’t know how else to say it. People don’t join companies, people join PEOPLE. They do business with people they know, like and TRUST. For there to be a strong relationship, trust is vital. Without it you have nothing.
Your prospects want to know that they can trust you to guide them in the right direction. There are so many people online scamming people today; they want to make sure you aren’t one of them.
You can build trust by ALWAYS following through on what you say you’re going to do. Integrity and Authenticity baby! If you tell someone that you’re going to call them Wednesday at 6:30PM… guess when you should call them? Wednesday at 6:25PM… early! I get people telling me they will call me at that time and then my phone rings at 8:30PM. Right there they’ve lost my trust because they didn’t keep to their word.
Goes back to the old saying… ‘Say what you will do, and do what you say’
Key #3: Learn To Become A Good Listener
There is nothing more ANNOYING than when you’re speaking and someone is talking over you. Or they just aren’t present in the conversation because they are doing something else. Everyone has a million things to do, and they are parading around saying what a good multi tasker they are. You can only focus on one thing at a time… if you are speaking with someone and you start doing something else while you’re talking with them, you are no longer focused.
I can tell when I’m on the phone with someone having a conversation and they’re just not paying attention. Maybe their checking their email, reading Facebook messages or tweeting. I know you’ve had this happen to you? And I know that you’ve done this to other people as well!
People can tell when someone isn’t present and listening to what they are saying. People want to be heard… they really do! When having a conversation with someone, step away from your computer or whatever you are doing. Give them your undivided attention…. or don’t have the conversation at that moment. Pick one! You’re energy is split and the person on the other end can feel it as some level of their being.
Focus intently and listen to the messages conveyed behind and between words. Powerful listening connects us emotionally to whoever we are speaking with.
Key #4: Be Yourself… Act Authentically
Don’t try to be someone you’re not. There is so much POWER in being yourself! When you come from an authentic place, you’re honest with others as well as yourself. Authenticity is a place of freedom. When you are being ‘real’ you can connect on a very deep level with people. When you’re not, people can feel it… either consciously or unconsciously.
If you’re not being you, then you’re creating relationships on fluff. This isn’t the type of foundation that long term business relationships are made of… and that’s what you’re out here for, to build long term relationships, right?
If you learn to practice these skills, you will see a MAJOR INCREASE in your business. You will notice a difference in the way people interact with you. People will all of a sudden be ‘attracted’ to you and will want to join you in business or buy from you. You’ll wonder where all of these people have been hiding all this time!
One thing to keep in mind, DO NOT under-estimate these tips… Don’t let the simplicity fool you! The skill of building relationships is the KEY reason why some will succeed and some will never achieve their dreams.
Most people will go from one business opportunity to the next, thinking the company they were with was the reason they didn’t succeed. When you come to realize that people join you in your business because you have created a relationship with them that is authentic with deep levels of trust, you can jump into ANY company and be successful!
Let me give you some examples…
I really want you to get this! So what I’m going to do is point out a few friends in the industry, who are leaders in their businesses because they are practicing these principles each and every day.
First of all, the wonderful Katie Freiling… You already know of her, since you’re reading this post on her blog. If you look closely at why you are attracted to her blog and her information, it’s because she is a true GIVER. This girl adds VALUE to her community like I’ve never seen done before!
Look at all she shares with you and everyone within her community… cutting edge marketing strategies that she is currently using, insights that have shaped her into the empowered entrepreneur that she is and the products and services that she personally uses to build her business.
If you just learn to model the way Katie contributes way beyond herself, and nothing else… you will see a drastic change in your business!
Now head over to the blog of Mr. Kary Rogney. This guy knows how to create and build TRUST with everyone around him. Kary has built a super loyal following that knows he will guide them down the path to success. Remember trust is EVERYTHING… people join and do business with people they believe in.
Last but not least, Michael Feil… If you want to meet someone that is 100% themselves and lives an authentic life… then this is the guy to check out! Michael has built a strong following because he DOES NOT try to be someone he’s not, and always speaks and trains from his heart. He really has mastered this skill.
If you are always conscious of how you’re communicating with other people, and remember these keys to building strong relationships, you will NEVER have to worry about making money in your business again!
Let the games begin!
So are you going to implement the information I just shared with you? I challenge you become a relationship building machine! Are you up for it? Why not start right now… the information within this post is valuable informationthat can really make a difference in other people’s lives. Click the ‘retweet’ button at the bottom of this post and share this with all of your Twitter followers.
Also, I want you to share something of value with the community here by leaving a comment below. This is NOT a pitch fest, so DO NOT spam everyone with your business opportunity! Maybe share something with everyone that you do on a daily basis to empower yourself. One of the things that I’ve learned in life is that if something works for me, there is a GOOD chance it will work for someone else.
I appreciate you for taking your time to read this post today. Time is the one resource that we all have the same amount of, and I thank you for sharing yours with me.
Yours In Success,
Eric Goldstein

First of all, the wonderful Katie Freiling… You already know of her, since you’re reading this post on her blog. If you look closely at why you are attracted to her blog and her information, it’s because she is a true GIVER. This girl adds VALUE to her community like I’ve never seen done before!
Look at all she shares with you and everyone within her community… cutting edge marketing strategies that she is currently using, insights that have shaped her into the empowered entrepreneur that she is and the products and services that she personally uses to build her business.
If you just learn to model the way Katie contributes way beyond herself, and nothing else… you will see a drastic change in your business!
Now head over to the blog of Mr. Kary Rogney. This guy knows how to create and build TRUST with everyone around him. Kary has built a super loyal following that knows he will guide them down the path to success. Remember trust is EVERYTHING… people join and do business with people they believe in.
Last but not least, Michael Feil… If you want to meet someone that is 100% themselves and lives an authentic life… then this is the guy to check out! Michael has built a strong following because he DOES NOT try to be someone he’s not, and always speaks and trains from his heart. He really has mastered this skill.
If you are always conscious of how you’re communicating with other people, and remember these keys to building strong relationships, you will NEVER have to worry about making money in your business again!
Let the games begin!
So are you going to implement the information I just shared with you? I challenge you become a relationship building machine! Are you up for it? Why not start right now… the information within this post is valuable informationthat can really make a difference in other people’s lives. Click the ‘retweet’ button at the bottom of this post and share this with all of your Twitter followers.
Also, I want you to share something of value with the community here by leaving a comment below. This is NOT a pitch fest, so DO NOT spam everyone with your business opportunity! Maybe share something with everyone that you do on a daily basis to empower yourself. One of the things that I’ve learned in life is that if something works for me, there is a GOOD chance it will work for someone else.

Home-Based Internet Business For a Complete Newbie By Matt Verjand
If you're like most people, it's hard to make ends meet with just one income. Or it would be of great help to your financial position with some extra money. Why not take the opportunity of the time and have your own business on the internet. Many people are earning their living only from the internet. More and more people have internet connection and more people know how to use it.
You wonder how you can make money online? It's very simple. You have your own product and sell it from your website. Your product only has to be a few megabytes of space on your disk and the website will cost you less than $10 a month. Information products are being sold online for hundreds of $ every day. I'm sure you can easily sell some yourself. Remember, online market is growing.
Let's solve your biggest problem, your product. What if I told you, you can buy already made product with resale rights. So called Private Label Rights-PLR are what you should be looking for. But not just any PLR is good and definitely not free one. The main value of PLR is in being limited. More limited it is, better for you. Let's see an example. You buy a PLR product on marriages. But it is not limited and anybody can buy it. In a few months, thousands of people might have it and promote it online. You would have to compete with all the people. I think you don't want this, because it's way harder to sell with competition in thousands.
But if you buy the same PLR product, but it is limited to 100 licenses only, you won't have many people competing with you. Some of those 100 won't even look at it after the purchase. Majority makes changes or just makes more products out of it.
Single PLR products usually cost around $37. Of course this is the price for quality, limited content. You can buy more products in a packages that usually cost from $97 to $197.
I have found a great website for you which supplies quality PLR content. You can check them out here and look for their current offers. http://www.privatelabelpackages.com/. They always limit their licenses. I will write about how to set up your new home based internet business in my next article.

Legitimate Ways to Make Money at Home - 3 Steps to Choosing a Home Business By Elaine Currie Platinum Quality Author
Legitimate ways to make money at home are not hard to find; the hard part is picking the money making opportunity that will suit you best. If you start looking on the internet for legitimate ways to make money at home, you will find yourself in a world full of gurus and advisors who are all anxious to pitch in with advice and their own recommendations.
All those gurus know more about making money at home than you do, so who is the best person to identify the most suitable way for you to make money at home? Well, actually it's you, but before you rush off and make a final decision, take the following three steps.
Step 1 - Think About Your Skills
Consider what skills or talents you already possess that could make the foundation of a home based career. If you are qualified in a particular field, do you want to continue in that area or are you looking for a complete change of direction in your working life? Would you need to spend time and money on retraining?
You don't necessarily need special skills or talents to start your own business; your character is also important when considering your future working life. For instance if you are an expert typist, you might be suited to working at home as a virtual secretary. If you are a compassionate person with good listening skills, retraining to become a counsellor might be the answer for you.
Step 2 - Identify Your Potential Market
Think about the people who would be your customers, and where they are located. Do they exist in sufficient number to form a customer base large enough to bring in the profit you need to make your business viable? This step is absolutely crucial; you could be the best in your chosen field but if there are insufficient people looking for your product or service, you have no hope of building a viable business.
When considering your market, you need to research the current level of competition you would face when you are trying to get your new business up and running. Competition can be healthy; the fact that other people are in business in your chosen market is a good indicator that there is a demand for your product or service.
Step 3 - Ask Yourself The Big Question
"Would I be happy doing this?" The answer to this question is more important when choosing a home based business than the answer to the other big question: "Can I make enough money doing this?" and it is a step you must not skip. If you choose a home business purely on the basis that you believe it would be profitable, you could be sentencing yourself to a thoroughly miserable time. Choose an honest way to make money that would make you happy, and you are far more likely to develop a successful home business.
This is not to say that happiness is the only consideration when looking for ways to make money at home. Obviously the suitability of your skills and the potential market for your business must be considered. The idea is, after all, to make money, not just to make you happy; finding a business that includes both these factors offers your best chance of success.
Click the following link to read my review of the best of the Legitimate moneymaking ideas - and I would know: I have been doing it since the year 2004 and I had considered hundreds of work at home opportunities before that. You could be just one click away from starting your own online home based business

E-Mail Marketing or Social Media Marketing - What is Better? by Kabir Bedi October 19, 2009
Online marketing is a powerful and more effective medium to market your products and services than the traditional ad campaigns. Moreover, with the increasing population of net-savvy individuals, the web offers a large audience base. Also, it is a cost effective option by which you can reduce a chunk of your marketing costs.
Internet marketing comprise of several ways, of which the most popular ones are – Email Marketing and Social Media Marketing.
Email marketing is an established practice where businesses send out newsletters and other information to their target audience through emails and inform them about their products and services. Whereas, social media marketing is an emerging field that promises immense potential. With the increasing popularity of social media, marketing through this channel promises valuable rewards to businesses.
Both are excellent modes of marketing on the web. However, to know which one of them would be more effective for your business, let us understand their pros and cons.
E-Mail Marketing
This is a direct form of marketing where you keep in touch with your clients, customers and potential customers through emails. This could be in the form of newsletter where you provide them information about your company, latest events and happenings, new offers and discounts etc. You are directly selling your products and services to the recipients.
Everyone uses the e-mail. You would not have to worry if they are active users of the social networks or not. Rather, with an efficient contact database consisting of people from your niche markets, you can email these people directly. And because you are marketing to a highly targeted user-base, there are higher chances of making sales.
Many companies ban the use of social media websites by their employees in their workplace. So any marketing efforts that you make though social media will prove fruitless for this population. Therefore, a better way is to contact them through e-mails.
If you know that your audience base is not very tech-savvy (which means they would not be part of social media websites), it would be pointless to market your services there. Instead, concentrate on building a relevant email list and send them newsletters and brochures of your business.
Social Media Marketing
Social media is a fast emerging field on the web and businesses, especially online businesses cannot afford to ignore it. This is a more indirect way of marketing where you seek to establish a strong presence on the web and build a brand reputation. This earns you the trust of your target audience which makes them pick you when in need or the kind of product and service that you offer.
Social media marketing is a relatively new stream of marketing where you can connect with your audiences on a personal level and have one-to-one conversations. This allows you to have a better understanding of their needs and requirements based on which you can formulate more effective adversing and marketing strategies.
Social media marketing allows you to market your products and services on a large scale. And if people like what you have to say, they be a huge helping hand. Social media websites like Facebook and Twitter allows users to share content in their networks. Thus you can expect a viral spread if you initiate something appealing.
The Internet landscape is fast changing. In fact social media interactions are even replacing emails in most scenarios because of the easy and real-time communication that they offer. Inspite of their pros and cons, both the modes have their own share of pros and cons. Thus an effective solution would be to devise a professional social media strategy and use it in compliment with your e-mail marketing process!

7 Reasons For Starting a Home-Based Internet Business During a Recession By Gregory De Tisi
We are all in an economic disaster at present and it looks like we will be experiencing this problem for some years to come. However it is no good focusing on lack and fear when there are some solutions to our financial problems, some of which can be found in this Article.
Many people are going to lose their jobs and this will continue to happen, increasing the stress levels and despair for many. Good news for you though because you are reading this article. Why? What can I say or do to help you? I am about to point out 7 good reasons for starting a home based Internet business to secure your future.
Firstly if you want to start a business of any type then consider that buying a traditional business in this climate will be a very high risk because you will have overheads, stock and premises to think about. Then you have to try and make a profit competing with others who are also in this field/area you are in! Can you see that? Anyone trying to do this right now is taking a huge risk and could possibly fail and/or go bankrupt.
Secondly you will not need to take out a huge loan to start a business from home or borrow money from a trusted friend only to struggle to pay it back because this way you can simply test drive a system online and try it out for free using cheap marketing and advertising and for the price of a coffee per day get into business for yourself.
Thirdly you will not have to try and find another job in the area you are skilled in because lets face it the competition out there is fierce for positions right now. You may be very good at what you do but what if you could plug into an existing system online that actually teaches you the skills needed to make money online. Worth thinking about isnt it!
Fourth point is that you could retrain and reeducate yourself. But what as? Besides how much money will that cost you to retrain not to say time and stress. I am not saying it isn't worth educating yourself it's just that if it is something which is not really a passion of yours then you will soon get fed up. However if you work online you can free up time to follow your passions right!
Fifth point is what is your passion? Do you ever want to explore it? In these times of money worries most people are working silly hours to pay bills only to find they have no time left to enjoy whatever their passion is. Working online however means you choose your hours and you choose your free time.
Sixth point is do you want to travel and see the world but time wise and money wise you just can't justify that dream holiday? Why shouldn't you be able to someday explore and have an adventure! Well taking a laptop with you is hardly tough. You can simply check up on things wherever you are these days so you are not bound by clocking on or off for example.
Finally point seven is are you happy financially right now? If so and you have the perfect work life balance then I take my hat off to you because that is fantastic really, but if you are not in a position to have a life of balance and joy with a good secure future then don't you owe it to yourself to make a change for you and your family?
I will leave you to think about some of the things mentioned here and I will just lastly say that if there were a way for you to completely change your future and design it how you want it wouldn't you grab that opportunity with both hands and take action right away?
I hope you found this useful and I hope you can live the dream life you deserve.

Achieving Your Goals When Marketing on the Internet Page Visited Visited: 96 Not rated Rate: by TJ Philpott October 09, 2009
When marketing on the internet it is absolutely necessary that you establish some type of business goals. Most online entrepreneurs are generally responsible for looking after every function of their business. Without a predetermined set of measurable goals it can be very easy to go off course thereby losing time and money.
When working online from home goals can carry an even greater distinction due to the built in distractions that are part of the home environment. Having clear and measurable goals can offer a certain regimentation and direction to anyone operating a work from home business.
Recognizing the importance of goal setting for a home based business is one thing but establishing realistic and attainable goals is equally important. In any event it is only natural that meeting all our objectives will not always be easy. But it is interesting to note that the barriers to our goals can vary and upon recognition of this so should our approach.
Let's review 3 common barriers that may inhibit us from reaching our objectives and what we can do to overcome them
Non-Realistic Goals
Ambition is a great asset however we should not let it cloud our thinking when establishing goals. Our pursuit of any objectives we set for ourselves starts with a planning phase. Within this phase the first thing we should determine is if our goals are realistic.
Every goal we set should be something that is within our grasp if it is not we are simply setting ourselves up for failure and disappointment.
Money
This area is not as cut and dry as it may seem on the surface. Financial planning if it is applicable to the goals we have set is crucial from the standpoint that a timetable be determined. Starting out your finances may not be an issue but a system of checks and balances needs to be put in place to monitor the level of your financial situation.
