Perseverance by Ollie M Rains
As a relatively new comer to internet commerce, I have indeed learned a great deal about doing business online. I wanted to take a few minutes to share them with you.
First, it's not as easy as I perceived it would be. I thought it would be simple! Well, I have learned that without my mentor and trainer, I would not have had any idea what to do. So, if you are thinking about starting an online business, it would be wise to choose one with a really good training program, and proven leadership.
Then, I have heard a lot of negative comments in forums about online businesses and how often someone fails. I have chosen to listen only to the positive comments and make my business a success. You have to make the choice, keep on going or give up!
Giving up is easy, but failure is not. I chose to start my own online business because I wanted to succeed. I refuse to believe I am going to fail! Anything worth any time and money spent is worth perseverance.
Of course, it helps when you have chosen the right business for you, and a program that has great educational tools at your disposal. You have to believe in your product, or you have failed from the beginning. So, check out your options, and choose wisely. If your choose a business you believe in, and you believe in yourself, anything is possible. Hang in there, and don't give up!
Then there is the expense! Well, I look at the expenses as an investment in my future. I have learned in my lifetime, what you can expect for nothing is, guess what? Nothing! So if you enter into an online business not prepared to invest time, effort and money, what you will get is nothing. However, some expenses can be minimal, if you have chosen wisely and have great leadership to teach you the tools of the trade. You will, however, have to invest some time and effort.
So, to sum up my experiences so far, perseverance, leadership, educational value, and something you really believe in are key in choosing your online business endeavor. Choose wisely, and keep on keeping on until you reach your goals. Great success can be found by any of us if we choose correctly.

It's "hypnotic" :

The Man Who Offered to Beat Me Up by Joe Vitale
The Man Who Offered to Beat Me Up
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.mrfire.com
Today I received a long letter from a man who
created a new self-defense system. He claims
he can defeat anyone in under 3 minutes.
He wants me to promote him and his method.
He went on to say he'd be happy to meet with me
to prove his skills.
What did he have in mind?
He wants to beat me up.
I'm serious.
"If I can defeat you within 3 minutes," he said
in his letter, "then you promise to promote me
and my products. Deal?"
He went on to give me the contact information
for his agent so I could set up the match.
It might have made an interesting webcast. I can
just see the headline:
"51-year-old formerly obese Internet Marketing
Expert meets 30-year-old Superman-fit Martial
Arts Expert in Quick-Kill Match. Register now."
Gee, I wonder who would win?
I'd lose even if I went armed.
What would you have done?
How would you have responded to his offer?
Unless you're a fighter looking for a match,
you'd probably toss this offer in the trash.
I often wonder what people are thinking. Does
this guy really think I'll fight him? And then, if I lose,
I'll gladly smile and start marketing him?
I don't claim to be a fighter and am not seeking
bouts. I'm also not seeking new clients. Especially
clients who want to break my nose to prove they
are better than me.
When you reach out to anyone, keep in mind
that no one likes to be told they are inferior. It
is not a good way to win friends and influence
people. In fact, it's not a good way to do much
of anything.
I think the lesson here is that we all have egos.
The better way to approach people is to put your
ego under theirs.
In other words, be willing to lower your status.
Don't flaunt your stuff. Instead, show your weakness
and ask for help.
This nervy fighter might have done better by
offering to teach me his new method, not offering
to embarrass me with it.
This works in your marketing, too.
Rather than boast that you or your business
is the greatest, focus on how you or your business
can make your customer or client the greatest.
See the difference?
This redirection of focus can trigger a true
transformation in your sales.
Take heed.
See you in the ring.

Hosting All The Way To The Bank
by Claudette Spedden
Let's face it, the Internet is here to stay. Today's Internetreminds me of the California gold rush. There is a tonof moeny and opportunities to be made by everyone who wishesto participate in this modern day gold rush. Most peoplehave been drawn to the Internet, because of the abilityto leverage their time and make money even while they aresleeping. Which makes it an even better opportunity than thegold rush!
Just like any offline business, an online business requiresan address, or place on the Internet where your Web site islocated. You can't have a Web site and just "stick it up" onthe Internet. Unless you own your own server, you use ahosting company. A hosting company gives you an onlineaddress. This online address allows the search engines andpeople seaching for your product or service the ability tolocate your website.
So what is all the confusion about regarding hosting sites.Understanding a hosting provider's websites is equal tospeaking a foreign language. They are full of numbers andletters and if you do not know what they are describing, itcan be confusing and overwhelming. For example: there is 50mg space, and 2 gig data transfer, and front pageextensions, secure servers. What's it all mean?
In my humble opinion you don't have to be a brainiac tohave a great hosting service that serves your needs. Youwant to be the recognized expert in your particular field,and let the hosting company do their job, by providingexcellent hosting and service. All you need to have is ageneral knowledge about what hosting is.
Let's start from the beginning. Think of a hosting companyas the highway department that allows the traffic, searchengines, and people access to your website. The reason thatthis is so important boils down to money in your pocket.You could have the greatest widget the world has ever seen,and if your site is down, and not operating, people willbuy elsewhere and what good is that?
First things first. Set an expectation that you will findthe "perfect" hosting company. If you search theexpectation that your job will be difficult, then that'swhat will be your experience. The best way to find a goodhosting company is to ask other site owners and webmasterswho they use. People love to share their knowledge and youcan often pick up many helpful ideas.
Once you find a company that looks promising, see what kindof customer service they offer. Having a "live" person totalk to is a HUGE bonus and well worth any additional cost.Talk to them on the phone, explain what you are doing andask them if they can provide what you are looking for. Arethey friendly, do they treat you like a human being, do theymake recommendations without being pushy? Are they able togrow with you, as your business grows? The answers to thesequestions will give you a good idea of how they do business.Now it's up to you to determine if it is a good fit.
