IN THE PAST
In the month of March 2000, I took articles that I had written for my own publications and repackaged them for general distribution. I also took some time to create a couple new articles just to meet this task. In March, I started promoting my articles to other publishers. I spent three solid weeks promoting my articles in the same way that I had been promoting my big newsletter.
I asked each publisher who published one of my articles to forward me a copy of their published ezine with my article inside. The publishers who allowed me that consideration gave me the opportunity to track my results. In the month of March, my articles gave me and my newsletter exposure to more than 500,000 readers! In that three week period, I
Before you decide to start an Internet home business you need to ask yourself some fundamental questions to ensure that it is the right option for you, because according to statistics, over 95% of home businesses fail and as much as 99% of Internet home businesses fail.DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PERSONALITY FOR A HOME BUSINESS?Even with the best of intentions and a burning desire to break away from the daily drudgery of having to work for someone else, the best Internet home business idea won’t prove successful for you if you don’t have the personality to work from home. Working from home with an Internet business that combines your best skills, strongest desires and interests can be enticing, and offer great flexibility and freedom. However, it also requires a great deal of self-motivation, organization and self discipline.Usually the best candidates to succeed in the best Internet home business are those whose former jobs required and allowed autonomy, and who found themselves severely restricted because of the limitations placed on them bec
The very first step in the promotion process is making contact with your potential customer. Once contact is made, it is suggested that you have 30 seconds to get their attention.
I personally feel that you have three chances to get their attention. In your first shot, you have less than 2 seconds! That is how long it takes someone to read your Headline. This is usually how much time you are allotted to snag someone's attention even in a radio spot or television ad. Also, in a direct sales call, your prospect may only give you two seconds to get his attention before he/she tunes you out!
YOUR SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
Many volumes have been written on how to write a good headline. These tutorials on writing good headlines can usually apply equally to your radio and tv ads, as well as on your direct sales call. To understand the power of writing a good headline is not the point of this article, so I will move on.
Most television ads and radio ads last 30 seconds, so you might have an additional 28 seconds to turn around the contact with your potential client. Even in a direct sales call, you will be given 30 seconds as a rule to dig yourself out, since it will usually take that long for a person to figure out how to get rid of you. In a written ad or article, that same 30 seconds usually amounts to maybe one or two paragraphs of text, at which time your prospect will be drawn into your ad or article, or they will move on to more important matters.
YOUR LAST CHANCE TO MAKE THE CONNECTION
Your third chance to get your prospects attention materializes only when you have successfully navigated yourself through the first 30 seconds! At this point, you have captured your potential clients attention and they are giving you the opportunity to take them where you would like them to go.
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR MESSAGE
There is one technique that you can use which is a proverbial snow ball rolling down a mountain! That technique is to place your business behind your name, and to sell your name through the art of writing Free Reprint Articles. Save your business information for the Resource Box that accompanies every Free Reprint Article.
If you would spend the same amount of time that you could potentially spend with a single client in a direct sales situation, and apply that time to writing an article on a subject that people would like to read about, you could realistically be launching your own snowball of Mt. Everest proportions.
THE PUBLISHING CYCLE
There are thousands upon thousands of publishers out there in the world today. In the old world of publishing, it could take you years to become established enough so that publishers would begin to publish your work. Not only that, it could take months just to get one article to the finished stages that would catch the fancy of the good ol' boy system of publishing.
In today's Internet world, there are so many more publishers out there looking for even more content than was needed by the industry as little as five years ago. With the advent of the Internet system of doing things, anyone could become a publisher. With the flood of new publishers, the need for great content exploded as well.
Therein lies our greatest opportunity to market ourselves.

Redesigning your website to take advantage of new opportunities and solve problems can be challenging. Different political groups jockey for position and new ideas get shouted down or lost due to employee popularity or ranking. A technique that can strip away these “human” factors can make a big difference when planning and strategizing.In the late 60’s Tony Buzan developed a technique he called “Mind Mapping” to make use of the latest in brain research. His goal was to help people use all their cortical skills, i.e. word, image, number, etc. to learn and problem solve. This technique has grown and developed over the years as brain research becomes more sophisticated.This method works very well in corporate setting where the audience has diverse skills. Rather than focus on skills, you focus on ideas. People feel they are on firm ground and are more likely to share ideas and look for solutions. This is exactly the kind of atmosphere you want to create when groups congregate to solve business problems.In my work with Internet clients

He wanted to learn a matching martial art of his choice. He went to a school of Karate and learnt the art of fighting in its unique style and manner.

Rudolph was just an average raindeer. Sure, he had that red nose, which was very shiny. If you had seen it, yes.... you would have said it glowed, but it was really just annoying and caused him all kinds of problems.All of the other reindeer simply did not appreciate Ruldolph. They even went so far as to constantly make fun of him and excluded him from reindeer networking events. Even his own father, Donner, was not fully supportive of him and privately confided to his best friend, Blitzen, that he was unsure if Rudolf would amount to anything in the reindeer business.However, Rudolph hung in there. He believed in himself and his unique abilities, even when others did not. He continued to do his job and fine tuned his flying skills.Then one rather foggy Christmas Eve there was a problem. The fog was so thick that the boss, Santa Claus, was not sure how they were going to honor their delivery guarantees to their clients around the world.That was when they discovered that Rudolph was not so average after all. His red nose had the tech

Internet marketing is a term often confused. Let's face it, slapping up a website and sticking Google adsense ads on it, is not really marketing is it? Unfortunately every method or system to make money via the net tends to be lumped under the term "internet marketing".No matter, because it's not the systems you choose to work with that will make you successful beyond your wildest dreams. It's not the software you use or the ebooks you read that will make you rake in the cash. It's certainly not the forums you frequent and the amount of time you spend idly daydreaming about how much you'll make...eventually.But then that much you knew.So what is (in my humble opinion) the number one factor in making your chosen home based career a success. Well, it's discipline, it's focus and most of all it's the ability to stick at one thing until you have success with it.How many times have you started off on one course of action, full of enthusiasm, dollar signs in your eyes only to get distracted. Another bright and shiny offer comes into view,

In the month of March 2000, I took articles that I had written for my own publications and repackaged them for general distribution.

The publishers who allowed me that consideration gave me the opportunity to track my results. In the month of March, my articles gave me and my newsletter exposure to more than 500,000 readers! In that three week period, I effectively doubled my subscriber base!
YEARS INTO THE FUTURE
This article, up until this point, was originally written in July of 2000. I called the process *a snowball rolling down a mountain,* because in the months following the release of my first articles my site traffic began to grow exponentially, and my cash register began to ring.
Through September of 2000, I had managed to have my message seen in publications reaching over 2 million people!
In September of 2001, I took my own advice and shifted the focus of my own business. After much observation and contemplation, I built my new business around the writing and distribution of Free Reprint Articles. I eventually phased out my old business to focus more time on the program that had given me much to celebrate.
REAPING THE REWARDS
Now, years later, I am still reaping rewards from the first articles that I had written way back in March of 2000 because they continue to be published even today. I believe the reason they continue to be published is because the content of those articles is still as relevent today as it was at the beginning of the new Millenium.
There are more than 50 articles in circulation right now promoting my own business. There are hundreds more in my archives that are promoting the businesses of my clients.
For the good of my business, my clients are also reaping the rewards of both my writing and distribution activities.
One of my ghosted clients had to take a hiatus from the publishing cycle, just so that he could catch up with his new workload.
I also have clients that I have helped by distributing the articles that they have written on their own. Cajun Clark was excited when he told me:
"Let me share something with you: Your submission services and guidance have done more for my infamy :), to build my website traffic than any thing else I've tried. FYI, there are now, according to Google, 262 pages on the Internet that contain http://www.cajunclarks.com, many of which came from your submissions."
WHY A SNOWBALL?
I think of every article as an individual *snowball rolling down a mountain.* The reason why I think of it like this is because the article will be published when I release it, then again every few months as other publishers discover its existence. Imagine in your mind the snowball rolling downhill in the cartoons --- it just gets bigger and bigger as it travels downward.
With each roll of a snowball --- with each published article, I am generating more and more recognition as being an expert in my field. By marketing myself effectively, I am lending credibility to any business venture I may undertake.
