Money Making Idea:
9 1 1 |
 |
|
If you're in business for yourself, you already know that your sales are directly related to your marketing efforts.
And, there's a good chance that part of your marketing plan includes follow-up phone calls and the dreaded "cold calls."
Do you ever find yourself doing everything else... but making those phone calls? Putting them off until tomorrow...and then tomorrow...and then maybe next week?
If this describes you, remember "911" - because not making these phone calls is truly an emergency signal for your business.
Try this - block out the hours of 9am and 11am to place phone calls. Why during these hours? First, a common time management strategy involves "doing the most difficult things first." Secondly, because you are much more likely to reach people (rather than their voice mails) first thing in the morning.
What techniques do you use to psyche yourself into making important, but dreaded phone calls?

Greetings! ,
Do you want to start up your own business - or give your  existing business a boost? I can help. I've successfully run my own writing, speaking and spokesperson business for 20 years.
The four-class "Boost Your Business" telecoaching series with a mastermind component will meet every Monday beginning July 13th. At each class, we'll discuss several topics, then open it up for questions and discussions. In addition, you'll get assignments (and feedback from me and the group) that will help you develop your own business and marketing plan.
Mark your calendar and look for more details soon.

Keywords |
If you've spent the time and effort to put up a website, I would imagine you'd really appreciate it if people would visit it. Though some people know you and your website, most of your visits will come from people who don't know you, but have found you from their search.
How can you ensure that people find YOU on their search? Keywords.
What are keywords? Keywords are the specific search words that people include in a search query when they're trying to find something on the Internet. Search engines don't have a brain, so they can't actually "read" websites to find out which website is best. Instead, the search engines look for specific words that are on the website and embedded by the programmer (HTML tags).
In order for your website to show up on the search, it's important that the keywords they use in the search are the same keywords that you have on your site including those on your webpages as well as HTML tags.
Want to view your website's HTML tags, as well as other websites'? In WindowsExplorer, click on "View", then "Source". |
