Get Mad To Get Happy!


GET MAD!

I mean it... Get *REALLY* mad!

Get MAD anytime you have to do something that you
don't really want to do (like going to work FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE early in the morning)...

Get MAD for all the times you've wanted to buy
something nice for yourself, go on a vacation, take the
day off, or (insert your desires here) but couldn't
afford it...

Get MAD if you've ever worried when the stock market
goes down...

Get MAD if there has ever been an opportunity to
improve your life or the life of people you love, but
you couldn't take advantage of it because of time or
financial limitations...

Get MAD if what you *REALLY* wish you could do in this
life isn't happening YET...

Why I'm a telling you to get mad? Don't all the
self-help materials tell you to keep a positive
attitude... things will "work out"???

Guess what... THEY'RE WRONG!

*Before* you jump in and ride positive attitude parade,
you need to get red-hot, ***boiling*** MAD about the
way things are RIGHT NOW... It's only when you GET
MAD, get fed up and get really pissed off with the way
things have been or the way things are now that you
will take the ACTION necessary to change your current
situation and make it into something better.

We are creatures driven by two desires only:

1) The desire to gain pleasure.

2) The desire to avoid pain.

And the latter is stronger than the former. We are much
more motivated to *avoid pain* than to gain pleasure.
Yes, we are all driven by the carrot and the stick, but
fear of the stick will get the average person moving a
lot faster than a salad at the end of a hard days
work...

Why do you *really* go to work every day? Is it because
your pursuing your passion and some grandiose goals? I
truly hope so! But most people get up and go to work
because they FEAR losing their job and ending up
homeless on the side of the streets begging for KFC
leftovers to get them through the night... The desire
to avoid this horrific pain is EXTREMELY motivational,
isn't it?! USE IT!!!

Don't fight against the forces that govern your very
existence... pleasure and pain. Use them wisely to your
benefit. If you know that pain motivates you, MAKE
YOURSELF FEEL PAIN so that you will TAKE ACTION and
change your current circumstances. It's OK to use your
imagination here.

Think about what would happen if you got fired and
couldn't find another job for the next 6 months... How
freaked out would you get then? Feel that.

Think about what would happen if you simply did nothing
different for the rest of your life and continued to
live the "status quo", do-what's-expected-of-you
lifestyle that's got you this far, and left many of
your most sacred dreams and ambitions on the table. How
painful will it be to be on your deathbed knowing that
you never even tried to do what your heart was telling
you that you *really* wanted to do in this life? Feel
that.

Think about what not having enough time or money is NOT
ALLOWING you to do that you really, really, really,
really wish you could do (insert all the things that
are important to you but seem out of reach right now
here)... Feel that.

THEN GET MAD!

GET ANGRY!

GET FRICKIN' PISSED OFF!

..... and then RIGHT NOW, before the feeling fades away
or is numbed out of existence by your favorite
television show or alcoholic beverage, MAKE A DECISION
to change. That's all it takes. As soon as you decide
that you've HAD ENOUGH with the mediocrity you've
accepted up to this point, the world shifts on it's
axis and will present you with new ways to think, new
ways to act, new ways to LIVE.

Big doors swing on small hinges and the hinges that
open the doors of opportunity are always the DECISIONS
we make about what we will and what we won't settle
for in our life. If you allow yourself to get MAD
ENOUGH, the "settling point" for what you can and
will receive in your life will be raised and you will
experience a better future... a future more closely
aligned with WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO here on Earth.

So GET MAD, TAKE ACTION, and GET PREPARED to *be happy*
as you start creating your life on your terms the way
you always hoped it would be... and it can my friend -
it really, truly can!

When I *GOT MAD*, I decided to find better way to make
my living contrary to what my parents and society at
large told me was possible... I'm so glad I did
because now I'm living my dream life and helping
others live theirs. Read my story at:

How To Turn Any Product You Sell Into Residual Income


How To Turn Any Product You Sell Into Residual Income
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

The concept of this is for you to offer a subscription
type product as an upsell or backend product. For
example, if you're selling an ebook for $37 offer a
subscription to a related e-zine for $9.95 a month.
Instead of an e-zine, it could be monthly updated
information for the ebook.

It's not just for e-books, you can make it work for
any product or service you sell. Some subscriptions
that might work for your product could be:

- e-mail/telephone consulting
- a private or members only web site
- print newsletters/magazines
- product updates
- subscription warrantees
- product insurance
- e-zine/webzines
- the ideas are endless.....

The subscription product should be related to the
product or service you're selling. You could charge
a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription for the
upsell product. You could sell your main product
and upsell product as a total subscription package
deal. You wouldn't charge the one-time price for
your main product; you would just charge the basic
subscription price of the upsell product.

The major benefits are that you don't have to keep
creating new upsell and back end products. Once
you get enough subscribers you won't have to sell
anymore, you just keep generating income from
your current subscribers. You would only have to
sell again if you lost a lot of subscribers.

10 Flaming Hot Ways To Catapult Your Sales


10 Flaming Hot Ways To Catapult Your Sales
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Create an email discussion list. The list should be
related to your web site's subject. Place your ad on
all posts and it will remind people to visit your site.

2. Prove your product is a bargain. Add a lot of
free stuff to your offer or, if you've sold the product
for a higher price before, show them the difference.

3. Make your web site more useful. Sell ad space,
generate hot leads, answer visitor questions, offer
free content, be news friendly, etc.

4. Make the most of each visitor. Sometimes your
price is to high. You should provide a variety of
similar products at different price ranges.

5. Test and redesign your banner ads till you get
your desired click through rate.
Once you do,
join many banner exchanges and buy ad space.

6. Use holidays as a reason to get free publicity.
Write a press release or article about the current
holiday. It'll have a high chance of being published.

7. Utilize the free content on the internet. Publish
one article on a single web page and your main
web site link then upload it as a doorway page.

8. Test your new products on the bottom of your
home page.
You don't want to take away hits from
your best selling products until others are proven.

9. Make commissions without joining an affiliate
program.
Just propose a joint venture offer to web
sites that don't have affiliate programs.

10. Persuade other web sites to link to yours. It
can improve your search engine ranking. Just offer
them something of value in return.

benefits.
Example, The Benefit: "Save More Time",

little extra motive you need to close a sale. People

them to buy.

4. Tell your visitors what their friends or family
will probably think when they buy your product.

virtual assistant
. You won't have to pay the extra
employee costs and you can save precious time.

How To Create Urgency So People Buy Now


How To Create Urgency So People Buy Now
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

You must create urgency so people will buy your
products or services now. They may not revisit your
web site or see your ad again.

How do you do this? You must use a limited time
offer. Limited time offers stop people from putting
off buying your products or services. It stops them
from procrastinating.

There are many different types of limited time offers.
Here are a few.

Limited Time Price Offers
For example, Order Now! While the price is still low.
After Dec 23,1999 this price will go up to...

Limited Time Discount Offers
For example, Order before Midnight, Nov. 5,1999
and you will get 25% discount!

Limited Time Free Bonus Offers
For example, Order before April 2, 2000 and you'll
get a free bonus!

Limited Time In Stock Offers
For example, Order Now! While supplies last! After
Oct. 31,1999 we can't guarantee we will have any
left in stock.

I'm not saying everyone will order the first time they
see your ad. They may not be interested in your
products or services. It depends on your ad and the
person reading the ad. If they are interested, usually,
limited time offers will make them buy now.

It's important to follow-up with potential online customers.
Following up with them can increase your traffic and sales.
The more times people see your ad, the greater chance
they will buy your product or service.

Before you can follow-up with them you need their e-mail
address. You can get their e-mail address by having them
subscribe to your e-zine, fill out a web site form, or e-mail
your follow-up autoresponder.

Most people won't give you their e-mail address unless they
get something in return. The most effective way is to offer
them an internet freebie. Here are some ideas.

Free E-Gifts
It could be free software, guest books, web space, graphics
message boards, etc.

Free Internet Services
It could be free e-consulting, search engine submissions,
web design, etc.

It could be a free e-book, e-report, web book, e-course,
e-zine, etc.

When you follow-up with the freebie, you can include your
ad somewhere on the freebie. If it's a free service, have
your ad in the follow-up e-mail. Make sure you always get
their permission before you follow-up with them by e-mail.

Your Home Business: Turning Pennies Into Dollars


Your Home Business: Turning Pennies into Dollars
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

Henry Ford taught us that to simplify the manufacture of
automobiles, that the best way to do so was to install the
assembly line. That one change revolutionized the auto
manufacturing industry permitting the industry to build cars at
a cost whereas the average person could afford to buy one.

The lesson we should take from this is that having the ability
to improve the process of getting the job quicker and cheaper,
without compromising the quality of the job being done, will
help catapult the person who simplified the process to the top
of his/her field.

Pennies saved in your home business can turn into dollars at the
end of the day, and dollars can quickly multiply into hundreds
or thousands of dollars over time.

Doubt me if you will, but let me ask you a question. Do you
think a saving of two fifths of a penny could make any real
difference in the profit margin of a home business? Of course
the right answer is "it depends on how many transactions are
done in a year, utilizing the savings of the two fifths of one
penny."

You only have to think back a couple of decades to really
appreciate this question. Do you remember the nut that lived and
died in a Las Vegas hotel room? You know the one who was a
billionaire, and was so worried about germs that he died of
starvation? If you guessed Howard Hughes (1905-76), pat yourself
on the back.

Now Howard did not make all of his money on his two fifths of
one penny. He did however make a ton of money from his two
fifths of one penny. It seems Howard owned a can manufacturing
company. And one day, Howard`s team figured out how they could
make one minor change in the design of their food can to reduce
the amount of tin necessary to make a single can.

As the story goes --- if my memory serves me correctly --- the
reduction in tin usage equaled a saving of two fifths of one
penny per can. Howard --- being the really smart businessman
that he was --- decided that he would not be so greedy as to
keep all of the savings for himself. What Mr. Hughes did do was
to keep half of the savings for himself, and give the other half
to his customers. The incredible thing about Mr. Hughes decision
is that by saving his customers an extra one fifths of one cent
per can, he managed to take more market share away from his
competition --- netting his company an additional and
substantial portion of the total market share in the canning
industry.

Let us return our thoughts to your home business. Have you ever
gotten the feeling of excitement --- when you read something or
thought of something --- that you could not wait to implement
this new idea? This could be one of those moments...

In every home business, there are certain processes that we do
over and again. Sometimes it may be possible to trim the time or
expense of a process which in turn will add pennies or dollars
to your bottom line. If it is a process that you do hundreds or
thousands of times per month, then your savings will multiply
into hundreds or thousands of dollars in monthly savings.

Imagine what running a home business was like BEFORE the
computer...

Before the personal computer, we had to hand type all letters
and invoices. Now, we can setup a letter or invoice that we send
out quite often, and we can save it in our word processor so
that when we need to use it again, we can print it quickly and
efficiently. There is no longer a need to type the document
again from scratch.

The computer has simplified our business communications and has
provided us the opportunity to reduce our costs of doing
business.

Think about all of the other processes that the computer has
enabled us to do for far less expense than what we could in the
past.

In this case, the computer is a tool that permits us to save
time and money.

So, my challenge to you is to begin examining the processes in
your own home business and look for ways in which you can save
yourself time and money. It is far better for you to contemplate
on this matter than it is for me to do so for you. Simply put,
you know your business better than anyone on the planet does.
Therefore, you are in a better position than anyone to find
those extra dollars that will decrease your costs and increase
your profits.

The extra pennies and dollars you could extract from your
business could spell the difference between success and failure
for your home business enterprise.

10 Spellbinding Ways To Light Up Your Sales


10 Spellbinding Ways To Light Up Your Sales
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Specialize your product or service if you have too
much competition
. If you're selling an advertising book,
rewrite part of it and target it just to pet businesses.

2. Sell a lead in product for super cheap, even if
you loose a little money
. If people like it, you have
a greater chance to sell your higher price product.

3. Give people a free version of your product. If
it does what you say they, will pay for the up-grade
or deluxe version to get more benefits.

4. Ask your visitors outcome questions in your
ad copy like
: "Where do you want to be financially
the next two years?" This'll persuade them to buy.

5. Give your product away for free to people that
will agree to influence your target audience to buy it.
It could be experts, famous athletes, actors, etc.

6. Give your potential customers a bonus that will
actually pay for their purchase
. It could be money
saving coupons, an affiliate program, etc.

7. Make your sales letters or ads sound like it is
common sense to buy your product.
For example:
"Everyone knows you can't make money..."

8. Make sure your ad copy sounds like you know
what you're talking about
. If people sense you or
your business doesn't, they won't buy.

9. Load your ad copy up with tons of benefits and
bonuses
. People will think and feel like they are
getting a lot for their money if they buy.

10. Assume your potential customer is going to
buy
. For example: "Dear Future Millionaire". They
will want to buy in order to feel that way.

How To Get An Extra 108,160 Hits A Year


How To Get An Extra 108,160 Hits A Year
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

Most of you have seen those little award graphics on
web sites. They are given to the web site by another
web site or award association to reward the web site
for a specific reason. They usually link right to the
site that has given the award.

These award sites are drawing tons of traffic to their
own web site. The reason is because all the web sites
who get the awards are linking right back to them by
posting the award on their web site.

What is stopping you from offering other awards to
other web sites? You could design a graphic for the
award. The graphic could include something that will
draw them to your web site. Have an online form at
your web site so other people can enter to qualify
for the award. You then judge all the entrees and
pick a winner. You give them the award graphic with
a link included. They post it on their web site and
now they're linking your web site.

You could offer web site awards for many reasons.
The web site might offer outstanding and original
content. The design of the web site could be very
professional. It could have a fast load time. It could
include original web features that aren't found on
most web sites. The site may be easy to navigate
through.

Let's say you give out 20 web site awards a week.
In a year that would be 1040 people linking to your
web site. If you received 2 hits a week from each
link, that would be 104 hits a year from each award
you have given. That equals an extra 108,160 hits to
your web site a year!

How To Get Valuable Feedback From Your Customers


How To Get Valuable Feedback From Your Customers
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

You can learn many things you didn't know about your
business by getting valuable feedback from your customers.
Your customers may buy your main product just to get the
free gifts. Your visitors may think it's to hard to navigate
through your web site.

By knowing this type of important information you can
improve your web site, products/services, advertising, and
marketing. Below are nine techniques you can use to get
valuable feedback from your customers.

-Use surveys and questionnaires regularly to improve your
business.
Publish them on your web site, e-zine, print
newsletter, direct mail material, include them with product
shipments or inside product packages. Post them on
appropriate online message boards, e-mail discussion lists
and newsgroups on the internet.

-Create an online community for your customers. Include a
chat room, message board, e-mail discussion list on your
site for customers to participate in. You can regularly
moderator these communities to see what your customers
are saying about your business.

-Give away your products to a group of your customers.
Ask them to use and review the product. Ask them to fill

may fill them out, some may not, but the feedback you do
get will be valuable.

from your web site at no cost.

engine submission, consulting via e-mail, web design, etc.

or your web site.

your Web site. After every sale, follow-up with the
customer to see if they are satisfied with their purchase.

-Make it easy for your customers to contact you. Offer as
many contact methods as possible. Allow customers to
contact you by e-mail. Hyperlink your e-mail address so
customers won't have to type it. Offer toll free numbers
for phone and fax contacts. This will make it easy for your
customers to voice their opinions.

-You could regularly contact customers on birthdays or
holidays.
Send thank you gifts to lifetime customers. E-mail
them online greeting cards on holidays or birthdays. Call
them personally to wish them a happy holiday. You could
them follow-up with a survey or ask them if they're happy
with your business.
