The Enormous Power of Past Success
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Homebiz Guy
I was checking my voice mail yesterday and received a message that was short and sweet. It said: “My name is Ken Shapiro. I’m the writer, director, producer and star of the motion picture ‘The Groove Tube’. Please call me back at …”
Interesting. The writer, director, producer and star of a motion picture?
My curiosity was aroused so I went to Google and looked up “The Groove Tube”. I discovered that Ken Shapiro was indeed all of the things he said he was and that Chevy Chase, a very famous American actor, had is debut film appearance in the movie. My mind determined that Ken Shapiro was a force to be reckoned with so I gave him a call.
It turns out that Ken found me online and was seeking some guidance on how to promote his new project at http://www.BedBooks.net. “Bed Books” is a very interesting innovation and I must admit that I’ve often wanted to lay on my side in bed and read a book, but that’s not a very comfortable thing to do. Thus, Ken’s unique idea and business has the potential to really take off.
In our brief conversation, we exchanged pleasantries and I gave Ken a few tips on getting publicity for his site. He’s obviously a guy who takes action on his ideas so I expect that he’ll take the information I gave him and put it into motion immediately. If so, you’ll be hearing a lot more about Ken and BedBooks.net in the near future. In exchange for my time and advice, Ken said he is sending me a “Bed Book” to try out.
What’s interesting about my conversation with Ken is my motivation for having it in the first place. Considering that I receive an overwhelming amount of voice mails every single day and that I’m rarely able to call anyone back on the phone personally, why did I choose to pick up the phone and call Ken on my dime?
4 Steps To Writing Powerful Sales Letters
(c) by John Colanzi
I’m sure you’ve seen those ads that grab your attention and have you ready to pull out your wallet or credit card. They are making you an offer you can’t refuse.
Don’t you wish your ads were that persuasive?
Are the marketers who wrote these ads natural born writers, or is there a formula that you can learn?
Writing to persuade is a skill that can be learned, like any other skill. It’s just a matter of breaking down the process into four simple steps.
Step # 1.
The first step in writing your killer sales letter is to identify your target market.
This seems simple enough, but how many marketers do it?
When reading some of the ads I get in my inbox, I have to wonder.
I don’t want to burst your bubble, but the truth is, not everyone on the planet is a prospect. Concentrate on those who are.
Before you begin your ad campaign identify your target audience.
Step # 2.
Once you’ve identified your target market, determine what their major problems are.
* Do they need more money?
* Do they need to save time?
* Are they interested in improving their health?
Sit down and determine every problem that your prospects have and decide how your product or service can help solve their problems.
There are no shortage of problems, but there is a shortage of problem solvers. Start becoming a problem solver and you’ll always be in demand.
OK, you’ve identified your market, you’ve determined what problems they have, now you’re ready for the next step.

Make the Leap to Affiliate Marketing Success
by Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
If you are going to become a successful affiliate on the Internet, you need 3 “intangibles.” These are things that must come from WITHIN you.
===> Intangible 1 <===
First, you must have a strong WHY.
Why must you make affiliate marketing work? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN’T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?
For me, I couldn’t stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone’s time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children’s lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in this business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.
===> Intangible 2 <===
You must BELIEVE that it is possible.
If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to make money with affiliate programs or make your living on the Internet, you won’t. It’s that simple.
For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money online. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.
There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money online with affiliate programs. Just get online and do some research and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you’ll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it’s getting easier and easier to make money online with affiliate programs.
