Three Things NEVER To Do In Business

Dear Reader and Friend

A business like everything in life follows certain rules and if you like to be successful in life and your business you have to take these rules in consideration. There is no way around if you like to be successful with your business. You know success in your business means a better lifestyle for you and your family.
There are some things you should never do in business especially if you want to succeed. If you are already a successful business you are well aware of this. If you are a new business entrepreneur than these three tips may be very helpful to you.

The first thing you NEVER want to do is to skimp on advertising. Without proper advertising your business will chance taking a big loss in services or product sales. An example of this is a small business that puts out children’s audio CD’s is introducing a new product. The business is new and practically unknown. They do have a website, and a small advertisement in the local newspaper. Only a small area is going to be aware of this company and it’s CD. A better form of advertisement would have been advertising in several, larger newspapers. Having a billboard advertisement that can be seen in a heavily trafficked area. These may cost more, but you will reach a larger customer base. Without reaching customers, you fail.

Secondly, NEVER let your guard down with your business competition. If your business has a competitive market you want to definitely consider this. An example of this is a video store. You would want to be aware of what the other store offers. Is there a large selection? What are their prices per video per day? Do they offer any specials or discounts? You would want to keep up on both the smaller video stores as well as the larger video store chains in your area. You want to either match what is offered or offer a slightly lower fee. Customers love to save money, even a few dollars and cents.

Lastly, NEVER jump into a business without doing thorough research. You want to be sure you know all of the details about the business you are involved in. You want to know financial details as well as information about your competition. When you take the time to research a specific business you insure success for yourself. You wouldn’t want any surprises popping up when it comes to your business. You want to be able to set yourself up so that your business operates as smoothly as possible and without any problems.

If you make an effort to follow the above guidelines on what NEVER to do in business then you are on the right track. You create a solid base for your business success. Be sure not to jump into any business decisions without proper research and well thought out planning. Care for your business like you would for your children. Give it what it needs to grow and you will be pleased with the end result. Be sure you follow the do’s and NEVER the don’ts and see your business soar.

For your Business success

Building an Affiliate Marketing Network via the Classifieds


Dear Reader and Friend

Most everyone who discusses the merits of an affiliate marketing network likely focuses on the pay-per-click versus pay-for-performance aspects of this advertising tool, and rightfully so! Online these two programs alone have shown themselves to be the work horses of a successful and diversified affiliate marketing network while at the same time not demanding an undue strain on a company’s promotions budget. Thus, start up companies in general and home based small business entrepreneurs in particular gravitate to this form of self-promotion like bugs to a strong light source in the dark of night. Yet just like the bugs, many of the smaller businesses get burned not because the product was unsuccessful or the presentation less than professional but instead because the interest simply could not be generated by the participants in the affiliate marketing network who chose to sign up.

In general, those signing up to post links and banners or search boxes onto their sites are looking for the heavy hitters which will lend credibility to the webmaster and her or his site, while smaller merchants are usually avoided because they simply do not offer that air of mainstream acceptance to a site. I think, many of the webmaster who do sign up for the smaller business affiliate marketing network will most likely be startups themselves or completely newbie’s, the only disadvantage of this smaller business affiliate marketing network is that they do not reach a large number of potential customers. Even though the money they spent on this kind of advertising is relatively low, it hardly merits the results that are being yielded.

Fortunately, a new trend is developing which is finding great acceptance with smaller businesses and which is proofing for be a money maker to such an extent that it threatens to leave the tried and true pay-per-click or pay-for-performance affiliate marketing network in the dust for home based entrepreneurs: classified ads. Building an affiliate marketing network via the classifieds may sound odd but the more careful attention you pay to this trend, the more sense it makes.

That means you have the chance to advertise your network and generate a far-reaching interest in the business. While not each and every online or print publication will permit you to post your ads, in general you will find that you can start getting out the word about your network by posting in a few free, online publications. Research the high traffic sites and post your ads in relation with their submission guidelines – but there is a much overlooked fact that may get your ad buried in the jungle of advertising if not carefully observed! Use strong marketing words that require a response by the reader, such as “clicking” or “visiting” and rely on heavy hitters like “proven” or “guaranteed” – only if you can back up the claims, of course. Add a measurable and real benefit to the action, and the odds are good that you will have a visitor for your site. To turn the visitor into a qualified lead, of course, is up to the quality of your site and actual network.

The Secret of Saving Money

Dear Reader and Friend,

You know the economic situation nowadays is not the same as it used to be. Everything is more expensive and you know as I do the income is always way behind the increase of the expense spiral.

As a business owner you have your fix expenses which you can’t just forget you have it always there if you like it or not.

Expenses as phone bills, clothing for children, school expenses, home utilities, home expenses like cleaning equipment, your car expenses like insurance, maintenance, tires, spare parts and the list goes on and on and is sometimes so long that you freak out and you get so frustrated that you don’t know what to do.

I tell you I was in the same situation until I found something that attract my attention…there is a flood of programs out there and it’s difficult to know which one works best for your situation and your business or if you not a business owner for your family savings.

This program I’m talking about is really amazing because it helps save Money on Shopping, Golf, Movies, Rental Cars, Hotels, Restaurants, online Shopping, even Sporting Events. It saves me money when buying Pizzas, Coffee at Starbucks, there are over 170,000 shops all over the world and more than 600 shops online and the number is growing.

With this exciting discount programs, you can start saving money immediately upon joining this program. In fact you can save HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS every month simply by taking advantage of the exclusive offers!

You now have the ability to save money on everything from casual dining to exotic vacations. And since this discount card offers savings WORLDWIDE, you can even save money on casual dining while you're on an exotic vacation! Is that not exciting!

When you a business owner and like to make money there is no problem because you can besides saving money and pay your membership of a measly sum of money and gain money on top of it buy referring members. You might say but to advertise my business I have to spend money and I tell you no because I came across an advertising system which does cost you no dime, nothing, cero and with signing up you have so many FREE PROGRAMS where you can gain a few bucks by subscribing to them.

I know the so called “gurus” promise you a lot of money within a short time or even hours but you should forget this kind of thinking and stay with both feeds on the earth and start slowly to gain money and advertise without spending anything.

These are programs that work for you in you daily business and these programs don’t promise you the stars from heaven they are real and cut to your needs. These programs help you really to get started and explain you almost everything in that fast changing internet business world.

Are You Aware That the Year is Coming to an End?


Dear Reader,

I choose that title because I know that you are as most of the people and I included at this time of year thinking what to purchase for your friends and family and you’ll start to worry if your income will be enough to cover all the expenses for all the purchases you like to make.


I tell you that this is not all because with the end of the year another threat is showing up, you have a car and you might need a new set of tires because your summer tires won’t serve you at all. You remember from past years that this time of year the money change hands like in no other time of the year. You are aware that the economy is not the way it should be and the scary part is you sometimes are not sure how long will you have your job. Hopefully you are one of the lucky people who keep their job and not as many other people who already became their letter from their company telling them that the company will close in your area and move to another place or maybe to another country. Honestly my friend I never hope that you will be in that situation but you have to agree with me that in that global world everything is possible even if we don’t hope it.


Maybe you are one of the lucky people who have your own home business or maybe you are looking for your own home based business and are your own boss. But you are struggling because you are not sure what products to sell or what service to offer or you are new as I was many years ago when I started my business.


Now you tell me, “Hey Anton what the heck has this you’re telling me to do with the end of the year”? I tell you right now that this has a lot to do. Imagine, you do what you are always do…shopping, but, but the best part comes you save money and not in a few shops, no there are thousands of thousands of shops offline and hundreds of shops online where you can buy and save money. Imagine you buy tires for your car, or you like pizzas, or you need clothing for you and your children, you buy your Christmas gifts and of course you buy your drinks for the holidays, your snacks you name it…and for everything you can save money isn’t that wonderful. You can print right from your computer “Coupons” which you can change in the malls and everything with a small plastic card with your name on it.


But this is not all, no, it gets even better, you can besides all the savings with your purchase you have to do anyway, you can earn money when you refer other people to do the same as you are doing…saving money. Imagine the power you have in your hand with that card your money will last longer or you can buy more stuff at the end of the year or better the whole year around. Your car needs the whole year spares, tires, and you need stuff for your business and your home. You can buy at Office Max, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Home Depot, etc. there are almost 200,000 shops where you can safe your hard earned money. But don’t tell me now that you do not need to safe money, just imagine you have spend at the end of the year all your money and at the beginning of the New Year comes the cold reality that you have lost your job and you have now savings to live on it, wouldn’t that be amazing to have your own part time job with something you save and earn money, I dare do.


So why not take action now before it’s too late. Open your laptop or switch on your computer and go to this site and you will see how easy it is and just for a lousy small fee which pays for itself when buying in your favorite shops.


To your success
