Listen closely (Or in this case read closely). I’m going to tell you something I’ve never told anyone. Not only that but I’m going to tell the world in this article right now. Well, all of the world that are currently reading anyway. (That’s a hint to forward this article to those you know, lol). Ahem ok now. Really. Are you prepared for this? I lie, Cheat and Steal. That’s right. Like MTV you heard it here first.

1) I lie in bed at night visualizing and believing that anything I want, I have the ability to create. Whether it’s more time, spiritual freedom, increased finances closer relationships. All of these and more tie into my home business. I always lie in bed thinking about what my reality is currently and seeing in the moment what I want it to be.

2) I cheat as much time as possible from my busy schedule to accomplish those dreams that I lie in bed thinking about. There are many times when life attempts to distract me however I keep clarity and focus on what I want my outcome to be. There for I cheat as much time as possible to invest in my business. (This is even more true in the beginning when someone has a job a family etc and they MUST find the time to create a different outcome.)

3) And finally I steal as many good idea’s as I possibly can. In this industry we have a saying that states rob and duplicate. That’s short for if I like something you said I’m stealing it and using it as my own, lol. I love learning from the wisdom of others even when I know experiential learning is king in my opinion. Stealing that wisdom and putting into action for myself is one of the biggest gifts of awareness that I’ve learned in recent years.

Commit these 3 principles to your personal philosophy for your home business as quickly as possible. (Ok so I don’t REALLY lie cheat and steal at least not in the context you thought).

LOL…Can you relate to this. Leave me your comments below.

OK, do you really want to be a good online marketer? If so, then with out a doubt you need yourself  the most powerful marketing tool to date, and its called the…

Autoresponder!

So if you have been in business for a while and you have built yourself a list of customers you will need to keep in touch with them. Now imagine how hard it will be staying in contact with 100 customers, quite a lot of work involved right? Ok, so now imagine having a list of 3000 customers, now thats going to be an utter nightmare yea? Well if have yourself a well set up autoresponder system like Getresponse, you will save untold amounts of time and be able to follow up and convert your customers into buyers all automated!

I think the statistic is about 70% of the people you bring to your site will not purchase immediately, so what you need to is follow up on these leads with a series of e-mails, maybe give them a free gift, an e-book, video or even just some tips and advice. These free gifts will certainly help you build your rapport with your lead and will certainly help convert them into a new customer.

Your autoresponder will help build the relationship and trust you need to start converting these leads. People like to feel important and an e-mail from you time to time  will definitely help you achieve this. I usually set my campaigns to email out every 3 days which is good time frame to insure your not smothering your customer nor letting them forget about you.

*Regular updates will keep your offer at the forefront of the customers mind.

*Send e-mails to market special events or new offers to your entire list with a click of a button.

*Connect your blog posts to your email list so they can stay updated with your latest news/tips/events or whatever it may be you offer

* Insure you Follow up with a thank-you message when your customer decides to buy.

Once a lead becomes a customer your autoresponder can keep you in touch with them to build long term trust so that they may come back and buy from you in the future. The most effective autoresponder I have found is Getresponse and that is what I currently use for my online business.

It is super easy to set up and it has step by step video tutorials walking you through the process.

I will be back with more tips and recommendations a bit later my friends.

Have yourself a great day!
