Is Your Email Autoresponder Working For You?

If you are trying to stay in business any length of time you will want to invest in a good email autoresponder. For those that are unfamiliar with exactly what an autoresponder is, it’s software that automatically replies to a specific email address with a pre-written response. People use autoresponders for numerous reasons.

Let’s say, you were going out of town on a vacation, and you wanted to let people know that you were away from your office and won’t be back for a few days. You would set up a pre-written autoresponder message to automatically notify anyone that emails you that you are away.

Any business that plans to stick around for any length of time should be using an email autoresponder to maintain and grow their business. It is very simple to set up, and offers low maintenance cost for you to upkeep.

Now, let me share with you a way you could profit from using an autoresponder software system. Let’s say, you sold an inexpensive e-course that had twenty modules to be delivered to your prospective clients. You could send the contents of the course by email automatically and in the frequency that you needed.  This will eliminate a lot of hassle if you set up an autoresponder system.

These are just a few ways to use email autoresponder software. There are tons of options that you can choose from when deciding what will work best for you and your business.

1.     You can use a free autoresponder like Send Free but I do not recommend them because you will more than likely have advertisements included in the bottom of your emails. You want to appear professional.

2.      You can use a bulk emailer like SendBlaster Pro if you would like to send emails from your hosting company. The only downside to this is that some hosting companies have a limit on the amount of emails you can send daily.

3.      You can use an email marketing software company like Aweber and/or Get Response. I personally use Aweber, and have been very pleased with them. I’ve been told that the delivery response with Aweber is better and its interface is a little more user friendly. Don’t hold me to that, though. If you are like me, then you will use the good ole, testy Google Search engine and read up on a few reviews if it is really a big deal for you.

These are just a few options that are available that I have outlined for you. I have personally tried the SendBlaster Pro and Aweber, and have found them both a valuable asset to my business. I hope that you have enjoyed the tips shared in this overview and have found some helpful information on selecting the right email autoresponder for your business. Please feel free to contact me with any questions ore concerns that you may have. I’m always available to help.

4 Emotional Triggers That Get People to Buy

Have you been trying to figure out exactly what emotional triggers to use in your marketing messages to get your prospective customers to buy? If you have been advertising with little success, check out these quick tips so that you can start raking in more sales today. Go ahead, tap into the emotional triggers that actually get people to buy.

1. Trust… One of the key components of building trust is by building a relationship with your customer(s). Large organizations have realized the need for building trust in their marketing messages.
(Ex: no hidden fees)

2. Fear… Fear can be used numerous ways in marketing. In fact, I’m sure you have experienced it sometime or another. Just be sure to use fear tactics that are not too harsh.
(Ex: 1 out of 3 homes will be burglarized this year)

3. Instant Gratification… When you tend to speak with a sense of urgency in your marketing copy, most consumers are very receptive because if it appeals to them, they want it now. Using trigger words will surely increase your sales.
(Ex: Today, 1 hour or less, Now, in 24 Hours)

4. Time… People are so busy in this day and age that if they can save on time, they are all ears. If your marketing messages tell someone how they can save time on something and achieve a desired result much faster, then you are on the right path.
(Ex: Reduce the time it takes to do laundry with a Front Load washing machine)

Just remember, people buy on emotion, so you want to make sure that every sales message appeals to your prospective customers emotion. If you remember this one rule, you will win. I hope that you will consider using one or all of these emotional triggers in your marketing efforts.

Is a MLM home based business for you?

If you are looking for a lucrative MLM home based business opportunity, then you may have very well found what you have been looking for. Before we start, let me share with you exactly what a MLM home based business is? Simply put, it involves the direct selling of services or products by the recommendations of independent distributors.

As an independent distributor, you will receive commission on any sales you make and often times you will receive compensation for introducing other independent distributors.

Most MLM home based business companies do not make their products or services available unless you connect with an independent distributor from the company.

Doesn’t it sound great to get paid for sharing a good product or service with someone?

There are so many different MLM companies for you to choose from. Just be sure to check out the 4 Key Elements that you should know “before” getting started in any home based business.

There are numerous advantages to owning a MLM home based business.

#1 is Time Freedom. Imagine setting your own hours… This is typically the biggest reason so many people start their own business in the first place.

#2 Low Start-up Cost. Most MLM Company’s distributor costs are anywhere from $100 -$500. When you think about owning your own business that can potentially yield you a 5 figure monthly income that is a pretty low entry fee.

#3 No Research And Development. You will not have to manufacture any products. Typically you can expect to receive everything you will need to get started, from a welcome kit with information about your products and services, to samples for you to try.

#4 Products are Drop-shipped. Most companies will ship the products for you. So once you have made the sale and have them as a preferred customer, the company takes care of the rest. Now of course, you will want to follow up with your customers periodically, but the hard work is done for you. (Ex: send cards on holidays and birthdays)

#5 Leveraged Income. Receive a continuing benefit from a single initial effort. John Paul Getty said it best… “He would rather have 1 percent of 100 people’s efforts than 100 percent of his own efforts.” You shouldn’t be just earn commissions on your sales, but your team’s sales as well, so this is definitely leveraging your time and income.

These are just a few benefits that you can expect in your MLM home based business. When it comes to marketing, many people struggle with figuring out the most effective methods for marketing their products and services.

Your company should have a marketing plan developed and you will just need to take what they are sharing with you and tweak it to match your personality type.

If you are the shy, quiet and reserved type person then going out prospecting strangers may be a little difficult for you since your success depends on your ability to lead and create a downline of recruits. You have to do what fits “your” personality, and open to change. This business may be just what you need to get you out of your shell?

No experience is necessary, if you are a self-starter and have good leadership skills then you should be able to get up and running in no time.

Your new MLM home based business will take motivation, energy and effort. Go in knowing that success doesn’t happen overnight, and that you must be persistent and consistent on a daily basis to see any real success.

If someone told you that you had to work 17 hour days for 2 years, and at the beginning of your third you would be a millionaire… you wouldn’t think twice about it I’m sure. If you keep that in mind and give it your all, you will be 10 steps ahead of the next person.

The last thing I want to touch on is financial commitment; we all know that it takes money to make money.

Most companies have a monthly commitment that you must make to stay an active independent distributor. Decide what your budget is every month and be sure to set aside an amount within that budget for marketing unless you want to do all free things, which always require more “time”.

Don’t forget to invest a minimum of 25% back into your business once you start profiting.

Make sure to do thorough research on what ever MLM home based business you are looking into. As long as you do this, you will truly be on you’re way to enjoying the time and financial freedom you deserve.

Sit back and be honest with yourself…  Are you someone who believes that you don’t have enough time to get your Work at Home Business Opportunity up and running smoothly? You are not alone. Many people that I talk to on a daily basis, claim they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. And it is because of this mindset that they end up beating themselves up, and their business looses momentum and suffers.

The main reasons for not building momentum in their businesses are the woes of life, juggling a full time job, family obligations, maintaining your health and a host of many other distractions.  It can leave you feeling drained and ultimately feeling like you are neglecting your life while catering to everyone else’s obligations, especially if you have children.

 Get out the dumps now because I have some good news! What if there was a way that you could build the momentum in your business and maximize your time in the process? The following strategies that I will outline will be the key to helping you get your work at home business opportunity flourishing before you know it.

WRITE DOWN Your Daily Routine

The first thing you will want to do is to write down your schedule in a quiet place. You will want to be very thorough, from the start and end time of events. How long does it take you to get dressed for work, drive your children to school, your commute to work, take children to extracurricular activities, work out time if you attend the gym, and any other weekly commitments you may have. Most importantly don’t forget to include weekends and family time. 

After you have this all written down, you should have a pretty good idea of what your typical work week looks like. If you are trying to see how you can fit a work at home based business opportunity into your schedule, you will want to look for openings in your week. Your goal is easy: look for a minimum of 2-3 hours per day that you can commit to spend on your business. You may need to re-prioritize some events to find the time. In the end it will be worth it. 

Stick With the Schedule You’ve Created and Re-Evaluate

 The next thing you will need to do is write your schedule into a calendar or planner and stick with it. Trust me, I know this can be tough because this is new for you, and in essence a new habit you are creating.  But once you start your newly planned routine it will get easier for you. You will want to re-evaluate your schedule every evening before bed to make sure that you don’t need to make any changes. This re-evaluation may allow you to find more time to spend on your work at home business opportunity.

Sticking with your schedule will be challenging and you will need to discipline yourself to stick to it and  work hard. You may have a rough day where you have gotten off a long exhausting day at work, taken the kids to the little league game, finished dinner, put the kids to bed and still must put in those 2 hours in your business. Again, in the end, it will be worth it.

Embrace Distractions

As we all know, life throws us curve balls. You will want to give it your best  and embrace the changes instead of fighting it. If your child is having a difficult night, and can’t get to bed on schedule, then you should focus on helping your child get settled down and off to sleep, even though you are supposed to be working your business.  Don’t worry about all the things you could be doing because it will be there when you get to it.

Focusing on one thing at a time is always best. This way you’re more you apt to be more efficient, effective and have a clear mind when working on the specific task.  This will definitely allow you to be more productive whenever you do work in your business.

You may want to keep a notepad or MP3 recorder handy so that if you get a new idea while you are working on your specific task you can jot it down, but not allow it to distract you while you are working., You can always come back to those thoughts later and prioritize them . I have found that you will use a lot less energy when you deal with your distractions head of resisting or fighting them.  

I hope this good news assists you in finding a way to work your work at home business opportunity today. Don’t allow yourself to become frustrated and make excuses. If you always remember this one key point… that you have total control over your time and can ultimately change your habits whenever you are ready. There is no reason you shouldn’t be able to take these 3 strategies and build momentum in your work at home business opportunity beyond your wildest imagination.
