Today it&lt;br /&gt;can all be done online for considerably less than $1,000...and most of&lt;br /&gt;that is going to go to your cover designer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Instead of ordering 1,000 or 5,000 titles at once, you can order 1&lt;br /&gt;at a time using print-on-demand publishing. So it's not a question of&lt;br /&gt;whether you can publish a book or not. It's a question of whether you&lt;br /&gt;should.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not everyone should publish a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you have the dream of selling a million copies and getting rich&lt;br /&gt;through your book, keep dreaming. It can happen, but it's a million to&lt;br /&gt;one shot. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Books have the lowest margin of any information product. A CD costs $1&lt;br /&gt;to $2 to duplicate and sells for $15 and up. A DVD costs $1.50 to $3&lt;br /&gt;and sells for $20 and up. A multimedia course with manuals, CDs, and&lt;br /&gt;DVDs may sell for $100 to $1,000 or more. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A book printed in low numbers costs $3 to $5 and sells for $20 or less&lt;br /&gt;in most cases. Can you make money from a book? Yes...but I would never&lt;br /&gt;want to be in a position where I had to make money from a book. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're an entry product and they're a tool for generating publicity.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would never recommend a book for someone's first information product.&lt;br /&gt;Start with a CD, DVD, or even an eBook. If that proves successful, then&lt;br /&gt;consider a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;While not everyone should publish a book...every consultant, coach,&lt;br /&gt;and information product developer, and professional speaker should!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let's say we're both consultants or coaches and we're talking to a&lt;br /&gt;business owner. You sit down on the plane beside them and give them&lt;br /&gt;your card. When they ask me what I do, I hand them my card and my book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who stands out as an expert in the field?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's say we both contact radio stations and offer to do an&lt;br /&gt;interview. You tell them how you coach people about success in&lt;br /&gt;business. I tell them the same thing and send them my book. Who stands&lt;br /&gt;out as the expert in this case?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The book author does...Face it. You might know more than the author&lt;br /&gt;right now, but they will often be perceived as the more knowledgable&lt;br /&gt;expert because they put it in a book. Will the radio host read the&lt;br /&gt;book? Not likely...There are some pretty crappy books that get major&lt;br /&gt;publicity. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's enough on that before I get myself into trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to be perceived as an expert in your field...create a book.&lt;br /&gt;You don't even have to write it yourself. Put together the materials&lt;br /&gt;and hire a ghostwriter to create it if you want. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's say you want your book to be a profit center. It can&lt;br /&gt;definitely be that, but it requires you to create large scale&lt;br /&gt;publicity. If you do an interview on a major radio station, you can&lt;br /&gt;sell 300 books or more. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were published by a publishing house, you might only get $1 per&lt;br /&gt;book. So that appearance was worth $300. Using POD publishing, you&lt;br /&gt;might be averaging $10 a book...so you earn $3,000. That's not bad for&lt;br /&gt;the hour interview. Get a major TV appearance...and you can sell tens&lt;br /&gt;of thousands. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also do book signings and other events to sell more books...but&lt;br /&gt;remember this all requires you to do something. If you want a fully&lt;br /&gt;automated business, books are not the job for you (although you could&lt;br /&gt;have a PR agent making the contacts for you). There are other products&lt;br /&gt;where this can be done much easier. The math simply doesn't work out&lt;br /&gt;for paid advertising in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When I work with a author, I like them to have additional products&lt;br /&gt;and services to sell on the backend. Sure...it's nice to make money&lt;br /&gt;selling your book. What else do you have? Do you have a CD set or a DVD&lt;br /&gt;showing your techniques in more detail? Do you offer consulting or&lt;br /&gt;coaching on the backend? That's where the real money is in books for&lt;br /&gt;the average author.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Terry Dean is the owner of the Integrity&lt;br /&gt;Business Blog athttp://www.terrydean.org, Find out more about how you&lt;br /&gt;can Earn More By Working Less by creating your own books, CDs, DVDs,&lt;br /&gt;and more at his Free blog today: &lt;a class='hft-urls' href='http://www.terrydean.org/'&gt;http://www.terrydean.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br/&gt;Distributed by Hasan Shrek, independence blogger.

By the way, I’ve personally&lt;br /&gt;met or have spoken to each author and can attest to the veracity of the&lt;br /&gt;material they present and their credentials to discuss these topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;PyroMarketing. Book marketing professionals know the secrets of&lt;br /&gt;success that drove the sales of Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven&lt;br /&gt;Life to a chart-busting best-seller and Mel Gibson’s “The&lt;br /&gt;Passion of the Christ” into a huge cinema phenom. Those of us in&lt;br /&gt;the business understand that sales of both blockbusters were driven by&lt;br /&gt;techniques outlined in a book called PyroMarketing by Greg Stielstra&lt;br /&gt;who gained fame in book publishing circles when he served as the&lt;br /&gt;marketing director for The Purpose Driven Life, the best-selling&lt;br /&gt;hardcover book in history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;PyroMarketing embraces an idea that really has been in use for some&lt;br /&gt;time – niche marketing. That tool is well-known and used every&lt;br /&gt;day by book promoters but Stielstra lays out the niche marketing&lt;br /&gt;principles with a new, crystal clear message that is so compelling that&lt;br /&gt;it is a must-read for anyone who wants to promote an idea, service or&lt;br /&gt;product. Read my in-depth review and watch a short entertaining video&lt;br /&gt;on the concept at: www.westwindcos.com. Buy it at:&lt;br /&gt;www.pyromarketing.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Web-Savvy Writer: Book Promotion with a High-Tech Twist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is an excellent “how to” book on the ins and outs&lt;br /&gt;of online book promotion and publicity focusing on the latest&lt;br /&gt;technology. Author Patrice-Anne Rutledge is a bestselling author,&lt;br /&gt;successful technology journalist, and online book promotion expert who&lt;br /&gt;has utilized online marketing techniques extensively to promote her&lt;br /&gt;books and writing career. Patricia plows new ground filling the gap in&lt;br /&gt;the book promotion marketplace with her highly focused book on bringing&lt;br /&gt;technology to the forefront in a book marketing campaign.&lt;br /&gt;“Web-Savvy Writer” is a MUST read if you want to utilize&lt;br /&gt;the most cost effective and viral methods in promoting your book like&lt;br /&gt;blogs, pay per click advertising, online reviews, ezines and more.&lt;br /&gt;After reading a few chapters you’ll soon realize what you&lt;br /&gt;don’t know about online marketing could fill volumes. She’s&lt;br /&gt;truly brilliant. Buy the online version of the book as it has hundreds&lt;br /&gt;of clickable links at: www.websavvywriter.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Kremer’s “1001 Ways To Market Your Books” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;His 6th Edition published in 2006 describes more than 1000 ideas,&lt;br /&gt;tips, and suggestions for marketing books – all illustrated with&lt;br /&gt;real-life examples showing how other authors and publishers have&lt;br /&gt;marketed their books. John, who is a walking encyclopedia about book&lt;br /&gt;marketing says, “Eighty percent of all books are sold by word of&lt;br /&gt;mouth, but it’s publicity that primes the marketing pump.&lt;br /&gt;Remember that you cannot do everything, so hire the right persons to do&lt;br /&gt;the things you can't do. If you're not comfortable doing your own&lt;br /&gt;publicity, then hire someone who does it for a living." I could not&lt;br /&gt;have said it better. Be sure to check out his seminars on book&lt;br /&gt;marketing held around the U.S. too. Find out about that and his book&lt;br /&gt;at: www.bookmarket.com &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author! Screenwriter! How to Succeed as a Writer in New York and Hollywood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always enjoy talking with Peter Miller, President, PMA Literary Film&lt;br /&gt;and Management, Inc. He’s one of the “big” agents in&lt;br /&gt;New York City. Known as ‘The Literary Lion,’ he has&lt;br /&gt;successfully managed over 1,000 books and dozens of motion picture and&lt;br /&gt;television properties. From big names like Vincent Bugliosi to the&lt;br /&gt;“next big star” he’s had eleven New York Times&lt;br /&gt;bestsellers and eleven produced films that he has managed or executive&lt;br /&gt;produced. He likes to do “three book deals” once he gets a&lt;br /&gt;writer he likes. In addition, he has a substantial number of film and&lt;br /&gt;television projects currently in active development. He divides his&lt;br /&gt;time between New York and Los Angeles, and frequently tours the country&lt;br /&gt;to speak at writers’ conferences and workshops. His insight into&lt;br /&gt;the publishing world and Hollywood is priceless. Buy his book, but if&lt;br /&gt;you can see him in person do it and tell him I said hi!&lt;br /&gt;www.pmalitfilm.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I strongly recommend the purchase of MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing&lt;br /&gt;System Book Marketing Training Program for Publishers and Authors by&lt;br /&gt;Tami DePalma and Kim Dushinski. This is a very well written resource&lt;br /&gt;that teaches authors all about marketing their book. For example they&lt;br /&gt;have a complete list of reviewers you can send your book to, sample&lt;br /&gt;timelines, lists of distributors and much more. You can stay on top of&lt;br /&gt;the changes in the market too as they keep it updated on their web site&lt;br /&gt;and blog. Believe me, if it’s not in here it’s not&lt;br /&gt;important. Buy it at: www.MX-TheMatrix.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Since understanding all of the money making opportunities with your&lt;br /&gt;book can be a daunting task, I also recommend that you purchase Jim&lt;br /&gt;Donovan’s How to Write, Publish &amp;amp; Sell Your Book and Turn it&lt;br /&gt;Into a Never-ending Money Machine. His system will teach you the inner&lt;br /&gt;workings of the book business and how to leverage your books so they&lt;br /&gt;generate substantial multiple streams of income long after&lt;br /&gt;they’ve been published. Jim Donovan's books have been published&lt;br /&gt;in eighteen countries and are being read by hundreds of thousands of&lt;br /&gt;people throughout the world so he knows what he’s talking about.&lt;br /&gt;www.writepublishsellyourbook.com &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free Book! That’s right, Midpoint Trade Books, a major book&lt;br /&gt;distributor has published an excellent handbook which features seven&lt;br /&gt;keys that are important for independent publishers to understand and&lt;br /&gt;master. If you want a quick read on everything you need to know about&lt;br /&gt;publishing, printing, editing, marketing and distributing your book&lt;br /&gt;then this is the one. The importance of using a book marketing&lt;br /&gt;professional is stressed by author Eric Kampmann, President of Midpoint&lt;br /&gt;Trade Books. Says Kampmann, "Of course, there are many reasons why a&lt;br /&gt;book might become a success or even a bestseller, but we believe that&lt;br /&gt;the single best investment for you is an effective publicist." The 7&lt;br /&gt;Keys To Publishing Success can be downloaded at no charge at:&lt;br /&gt;www.midpointtrade.com &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s a Very Expensive Book… but well worth the price.&lt;br /&gt;Its called “The Insider’s Guide to Large Quantity Book&lt;br /&gt;Sales.” Quite literally exactly what the title implies. BTW,&lt;br /&gt;we’re talking thousands of books at a time! Do I have your&lt;br /&gt;attention? You’ll be very impressed by the insight provided in&lt;br /&gt;the material about selling your book in large numbers. You have useful&lt;br /&gt;contact information for book club buyers and more importantly how to&lt;br /&gt;pitch and position your book for consideration. It also has sample&lt;br /&gt;contracts and agreements which are easily worth hundreds of dollars in&lt;br /&gt;saved legal fees alone if you had your attorney draft the documents.&lt;br /&gt;Written and published by the Jenkins Group Inc, this book is the result&lt;br /&gt;of years of the author, Jerrold Jenkins, publishing and selling massive&lt;br /&gt;quantities of books. If you are serious about selling large quantities&lt;br /&gt;of books and want the inside tips from a publisher who does it every&lt;br /&gt;day, then make the investment and download the book at: &lt;a class='hft-urls' href='http://www.specialmarketbooksales.com/'&gt;http://www.specialmarketbooksales.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author 101 Bestselling Book Publicity: The Insider's Guide to Promoting&lt;br /&gt;Your Book--and Yourself. One thing about the book marketing and book&lt;br /&gt;promotion business is that there are so many nice people in the&lt;br /&gt;business. I rank Rick Frishman as one of the top publicists in the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;not to mention he’s a nice guy too! His book, co-authored by&lt;br /&gt;Robyn Freedman Spizman and Mark Steisel, offers advice and insight&lt;br /&gt;about every stage of the publishing world. Using testimonials and&lt;br /&gt;commentary, this book lets authors, agents, and publishers alike show&lt;br /&gt;you the things you should and shouldn't do in promoting your book. Buy&lt;br /&gt;it at Amazon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Brian Jud’s “Beyond The Bookstore” is a terrific&lt;br /&gt;book about selling your book to everyone else other than a bookstore. I&lt;br /&gt;met Brian while co-presenting on a panel at a Learning Annex seminar in&lt;br /&gt;NYC on the topic of book marketing. I covered the topic of book&lt;br /&gt;publicity, he covered selling books. Brian Jud says since more than&lt;br /&gt;half of all book sales come from outside bookstores it’s&lt;br /&gt;important to target these markets. Mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart&lt;br /&gt;or Costco, gift shops, airport stores, home-shopping networks, book&lt;br /&gt;clubs, libraries, network-marketing companies, catalogs, associations,&lt;br /&gt;government agencies, corporations, educational markets, retail stores&lt;br /&gt;and military branches all buy and sell books. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian walks you through creating a special sales plan, where to find&lt;br /&gt;the people you need to contact to make your pitch. If you really want&lt;br /&gt;to sell books outside the bookstore market then buy Beyond the&lt;br /&gt;Bookstore at: www.bookmarketingworks.com &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Book Marketing A-Z by Francine Silverman. More than 300 authors,&lt;br /&gt;marketers and publicists, including yours-truly tell about their best&lt;br /&gt;promotional strategies with regards to book marketing. You’ll&lt;br /&gt;undoubtedly find several good ideas to implement. While you’re at&lt;br /&gt;it, check out Fran’s Book Promotion Newsletter which for $7.50 a&lt;br /&gt;year is the best value in book marketing in the USA. Buy her book here:&lt;br /&gt;www.bookpromotionnewsletter.com &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many books out there on the topic of book marketing, book&lt;br /&gt;publishing and just plain everyday business marketing in general. You&lt;br /&gt;can read the ones I’ve described above but unless you want to&lt;br /&gt;spend days and weeks learning about book marketing, you might find it&lt;br /&gt;useful to retain an expert on book marketing or hire an experienced&lt;br /&gt;book publicist. I am sure that after you read two or three of these&lt;br /&gt;you’ll seriously question the idea of self promotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why? The reason is that today’s book market is extremely&lt;br /&gt;competitive. The world is awash in books. Bowker (The keeper of all&lt;br /&gt;ISBNs) says that in 2005 more than 172,000 books were published in the&lt;br /&gt;United States, plus 206,000 published in the UK. How can Borders,&lt;br /&gt;Barnes and Noble, Amazon, your local library or anyone else effectively&lt;br /&gt;sell or showcase that number let alone the millions of previously&lt;br /&gt;printed titles? The answer: They can’t. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, I do not recommend self-promotion, for the same reason you&lt;br /&gt;don’t cut your own hair. You can do it, but it’s not going&lt;br /&gt;to be that good. Book marketing and book promotion requires special&lt;br /&gt;skills and most authors simply do not know how to market a book nor do&lt;br /&gt;they have the time or, more importantly, the patience. A publicist&lt;br /&gt;develops and nurtures relationships with writers, editors and producers&lt;br /&gt;so they trust us when we give them a story idea about a book or author.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The bottom line: While I do recommend these books as a basis for&lt;br /&gt;understanding the book marketing and book promotion process a wise&lt;br /&gt;author would be even wiser to retain a book publicist to market and&lt;br /&gt;promote their book. If you come to the same conclusion please by all&lt;br /&gt;means give me a call!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Scott Lorenz is President of Westwind&lt;br /&gt;Communications, a public relations and marketing firm that specializes&lt;br /&gt;in book marketing and author publicity.

After a year or so I became very good at it. In Fact I recruited&lt;br /&gt;over 150 people into my team. However what I found was that buying&lt;br /&gt;leads and cold calling was not as duplicable as my upline lead it to&lt;br /&gt;be. However I also noticed that all the people that I recruited from&lt;br /&gt;cold calling lead list were not duplicating as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;While doing my mlm training one day I decided to take&lt;br /&gt;responsibility for my own mlm network marketing training and mlm lead&lt;br /&gt;generation. I started researching top income earners and leaders who&lt;br /&gt;build there network marketing business on the Internet without buying&lt;br /&gt;leads and cold calling them. That's right. You can build your business&lt;br /&gt;using the Internet. I know what you might be saying. I was told it&lt;br /&gt;can't be done by my upline. Yeah, well I was told the same thing. I'm&lt;br /&gt;here to tell you these top income earners are doing it and now I'm&lt;br /&gt;doing it and I'm here to tell you that you can explode your network&lt;br /&gt;marketing business just using the Internet to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When you started your mlm training in your company, did anyone&lt;br /&gt;actually teach any types of marketing skills. I bet your saying no they&lt;br /&gt;did not. Well, again me to. You see what I learned was to be really&lt;br /&gt;successful in your business that you will have to put the (marketing)&lt;br /&gt;back into network marketing. When I found this out a light bulb when&lt;br /&gt;off in my head. I always new that something was missing and that I&lt;br /&gt;needed to find out what it was. So I did more research and found out&lt;br /&gt;more about what the top income earners were doing and how all this&lt;br /&gt;marketing stuff was done. I read books on Internet marketing, lead&lt;br /&gt;generation, using tracking, email follow etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In my mlm training the best skill, I learned was the secret of&lt;br /&gt;having people call my home wanting to join me in my business. Would you&lt;br /&gt;like that to happen to you? Now I was being the hunted. However all&lt;br /&gt;this didn't happen until I learned the skill of doing my own mlm lead&lt;br /&gt;generation. When I finally learned all these powerful marketing skills&lt;br /&gt;my business started to become really fun. I know use a system that&lt;br /&gt;generates targeted leads for me and just to give you a little clue&lt;br /&gt;here, they're not generic business opportunity leads you should be&lt;br /&gt;marketing to! I make money even if they don't join me in my primary&lt;br /&gt;business. My leads pay me for my advertising so I can generate traffic&lt;br /&gt;and leads endlessly. I have people joining my business weekly and I&lt;br /&gt;never called anyone. You can have the same success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I will tell you that just because your upline tells you to do&lt;br /&gt;something, it doesn't mean it will work for you just because it works&lt;br /&gt;for them. This is the most important lesson that I learned. Don't let&lt;br /&gt;fear allow you to take ownership of your business and venture out on&lt;br /&gt;your own as a leader and do your own mlm training to find what works&lt;br /&gt;for you. By being a leader and doing my own mlm network marketing&lt;br /&gt;training I have a team growing worldwide and so can you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Joe LoBalsamo is the CEO of Internet Network&lt;br /&gt;Marketing Secrets.

Well, there are a handful of ways to boost&lt;br /&gt;your money making experience online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;First, consider putting several merchants in the same niche; it&lt;br /&gt;will provide the guests in your site an array of destination to choose&lt;br /&gt;from. Through this, you can find out what your site visitors want and&lt;br /&gt;it can also help you discover the performance of different merchants&lt;br /&gt;when placed head to head. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re not doing this before, try to do it now - involve&lt;br /&gt;yourself in chat rooms and message boards related to the product you&lt;br /&gt;are reselling. This is one of the smartest ways to boost your affiliate&lt;br /&gt;income. As you start a conversation, try not to sell first; do it later&lt;br /&gt;on if you already established a relationship. Bring up the product you&lt;br /&gt;are reselling and if necessary, mention the benefits that your new&lt;br /&gt;friend can get out of that product. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indulging yourself in making a free ebook with advertisement and links&lt;br /&gt;to your affiliate website could also help. Make sure that the subject&lt;br /&gt;and the content of the free book are written to compel and encourage&lt;br /&gt;your target audience to download it. Also, consider submitting this&lt;br /&gt;free ebook to some of the numerous ebook directories. These directories&lt;br /&gt;can help you gain more customers as they are always in a hunt for fresh&lt;br /&gt;content for their readers. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not make your own affiliate program directory? This is also another&lt;br /&gt;helpful method in making your affiliate marketing business grow.&lt;br /&gt;It’s just like you’re having your own “search&lt;br /&gt;engine” within your website. You can participate in a large&lt;br /&gt;number of affiliate programs and have them all listed in a directory&lt;br /&gt;format on your site. After that, just advertise and promote your free&lt;br /&gt;affiliate program directory. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You definitely don’t have an edge over other competitors if you&lt;br /&gt;are using the same ads that all other affiliates are using. Make yours&lt;br /&gt;stand out by writing or making your own affiliate program ads. Using a&lt;br /&gt;unique and original ad will surely give you a big advantage over the&lt;br /&gt;other affiliates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Then, try to advertise the product you are reselling using your own&lt;br /&gt;signature file. Have a catchy and attention-getting headline and give&lt;br /&gt;your readers a good reason why they should visit your affiliate site.&lt;br /&gt;Just make sure that your sig file doesn’t exceed 5 lines. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know web ring, right? Join in to the one that draws the audiences&lt;br /&gt;that you think would be interested in purchasing the product or&lt;br /&gt;services that you are reselling. It will also allow you to trade links&lt;br /&gt;on your own with other related websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It is also advisable to participate on web discussion boards.&lt;br /&gt;Search in for those that are associated to your field and feel free to&lt;br /&gt;post your comments, answer questions thrown by other people and raise&lt;br /&gt;your own question. Under each message you post, don’t forget to&lt;br /&gt;incorporate your affiliate link text. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make a free ezine or newsletter. You can use them to advertise the&lt;br /&gt;affiliate programs that you’ve joined. Don’t forget to&lt;br /&gt;promote your ezine on your own website, then ask your site guests to&lt;br /&gt;sign up for free. Submitting it to online Ezine directories will also&lt;br /&gt;work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Starting your own private website can also be very helpful. You can&lt;br /&gt;use it as a free bonus for people who bought the product you resell.&lt;br /&gt;Here, you could allow your visitors to join for free and you could also&lt;br /&gt;advertise the affiliate program you’ve participated in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just few ideas that other affiliates are using to make their affiliate business grow. Try it and see how it works!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This article may be reprinted providing it is published in it's&lt;br /&gt;entirety, including the author's bio and link to the URL below. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;John J Farina is a successful affiliate&lt;br /&gt;marketer.

Institutional ads are intended to&lt;br /&gt;develop the brand name, the image, the reputation, the quality and&lt;br /&gt;promote a desire for the customer need of the products from the&lt;br /&gt;viewer’s mind. Printed institutional ads tend to be very colorful&lt;br /&gt;and are usually placed in magazines by national manufacturers. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most institutional ads communicate a message entirely centered on the&lt;br /&gt;company, the product. An example is as follow: “We are a big&lt;br /&gt;Multi-National company established in 1813. We have a strong and&lt;br /&gt;desirable product that you the consumer will need. The product has went&lt;br /&gt;through million of dollars of Research and Development and it is the&lt;br /&gt;product for you, the consumer. Please also associate the product with&lt;br /&gt;our company name…..”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The result is often not immediate and it may take generation to&lt;br /&gt;generation to imprint the message deep into the masses mind. Take the&lt;br /&gt;case of Coca-Cola for example. Coca-Cola the Company has over decades&lt;br /&gt;that span across many generations of human races on institutional&lt;br /&gt;advertisements to get the message across that Cola is Coke or&lt;br /&gt;Coca-Cola. The process takes painfully long time and spent lots of&lt;br /&gt;money. This is something that individual or some business owners cannot&lt;br /&gt;afford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In addition, if you pay close attention, you will notice that&lt;br /&gt;Institutional Advertising does not take into consideration of the&lt;br /&gt;opinion of prospective consumer. The advertisement boost about the&lt;br /&gt;company and the product but did not interact personally with the&lt;br /&gt;prospective consumer. The Ads did not motivate the prospective consumer&lt;br /&gt;to take immediate action as the strategy for Institutional Advertising&lt;br /&gt;is more for the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In recent years, there is an increase of Direct Sales Advertising.&lt;br /&gt;An example is the Power Raider advertisement. It is a very short&lt;br /&gt;advertisement but bring forth a compulsive reaction from the viewers to&lt;br /&gt;take action to buy the products. This is what it does….. The ads&lt;br /&gt;start by showing a healthy and fit looking guy with a half naked upper&lt;br /&gt;half with well defined abdomen working out on a machine, the Power&lt;br /&gt;Raider. With an urgency tone, the host goes through a series of the&lt;br /&gt;benefits that the viewer can expect to receive if they get the&lt;br /&gt;equipment. Then it goes on to promote urgency within the viewer by&lt;br /&gt;claiming that there are only a limited copies left. To enhance the&lt;br /&gt;sales, the host sells an irresistible offer by lower the price of the&lt;br /&gt;product by not two time, not three time but maybe 4 or 5 times. On top&lt;br /&gt;of that, it motivated the viewer to take action by giving out bonuses&lt;br /&gt;for the first 50 buyers that call in to buy. Finally, the host calls&lt;br /&gt;for sales by provide enough information on how the viewers can make the&lt;br /&gt;purchase. To remove all fear from the viewers to take action, the host&lt;br /&gt;offer a Money back guarantee if they are not satisfy with the products&lt;br /&gt;within a certain numbers of days of purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is what Direct Sales Advertising is all about. It goes for the&lt;br /&gt;direct kill to get the customer to pull out his credit card immediately&lt;br /&gt;and make the purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This form of advertising is appropriate for Internet Marketing or selling via the Internet as a media.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason is obvious.  Just imagine…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The prospect is surfing the web for information and happen to bump&lt;br /&gt;into your sales page. He is holding a packet of potatoes chip on one&lt;br /&gt;hand and a can of Coke on the other hand. He is impatient and will skip&lt;br /&gt;or move on to another page if your sales copy does not catches his&lt;br /&gt;attention to read on. The art of a good direct Sales advertisement does&lt;br /&gt;not just stop here. It motivate the prospect further until he takes out&lt;br /&gt;his credit card from his wallet and key into those visa or master card&lt;br /&gt;number on the keyboard and click on the submit button to buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some even goes another step further by side selling and up selling&lt;br /&gt;the first time customer by making more money through a single&lt;br /&gt;transaction. This can be done by promoting a one-time offer to the&lt;br /&gt;customer with an irresistible offer that will compel him to take action&lt;br /&gt;again before he put back the credit card to his wallet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I attend the World Internet Summit held in Singapore just last&lt;br /&gt;month. Almost all the Internet Marketing Gurus out there on the stage&lt;br /&gt;tells the audiences to be focus in order to make a profit from Internet&lt;br /&gt;Marketing. Even the famous Marketing guru’s Jay Abraham also&lt;br /&gt;teaches us to be focus to achieve any success in Internet marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I prefer to think that we need to focus on the right things to achieve success on Internet Marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the right things in Internet marketing business?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I believe this are the important focus areas for Internet marketing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.      Business System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.      Business Strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.      Business Marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of this three focus areas, I strongly believe Business Marketing is the most important aspect of your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As Jay Abraham will tell you, Marketing is the key to your success&lt;br /&gt;in business, whether it is a online business or an offline business.&lt;br /&gt;Give a good product, when market well, will sky rocket the sales.&lt;br /&gt;However, given a bad product, when market well; it will also help in&lt;br /&gt;getting profits. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to tap on to the marketing brain of Jay Abraham, you will need&lt;br /&gt;to spend a lot of moneys. This is a quote from Jay Abraham himself&lt;br /&gt;“Normally, when people want to learn what I know, I charge $5,000&lt;br /&gt;an hour to talk to them privately. Or they pay me $25,000 to attend my&lt;br /&gt;five-day long seminars.” As his popularity increase over time,&lt;br /&gt;the cost of engaging him for consultation will be much much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;However, all is not doom. You can now easily get access to Jay&lt;br /&gt;Abraham marketing material at a low cost of just USD 39.95. I would&lt;br /&gt;suggest you check it out as one little marketing idea from Jay Abraham&lt;br /&gt;could possibly turn the fortune of your businesses in your favour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can access to Jay Abraham’s Marketing Income-Building Home Study System at &lt;a class='hft-urls' href='http://tinyurl.com/ya7ux8'&gt;http://tinyurl.com/ya7ux8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.  (*warning*  I really do not know when Jay Abraham will pull out from this offer )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We should never under-estimate the power Marketing and its strong&lt;br /&gt;influence on the dollars and cents to your business cash flow. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake about it.  With a good marketing technique and strategy, you will definitely bring sells to your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the key aspects in business marketing for Internet marketing is&lt;br /&gt;sales copy writing. It is essential to have they know how for any&lt;br /&gt;business man or aspire to be business man to master this skill. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author of best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Robert&lt;br /&gt;Kiyosaki defined marketing as selling through a system. He mentioned&lt;br /&gt;the importance of learning how to sell as a prerequisite for every&lt;br /&gt;business man. One interesting pointers from him is that his “Rich&lt;br /&gt;Dad, Poor Dad” are the best selling book, not the best written&lt;br /&gt;book. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than highlighting the importance of learning how to sell in his&lt;br /&gt;series of book, Robert also mentioned that importance of building a&lt;br /&gt;business system with the right strategies. Essentially, his business&lt;br /&gt;success pointers are the exact focus areas that I mentioned above, but&lt;br /&gt;in different presentation and layout. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Kiyosaki has also designed an Ultimate Pack that give you an&lt;br /&gt;head start in business and finance. You can access to Robert&lt;br /&gt;Kiyosaki’s Ultimate Pack at &lt;a class='hft-urls' href='http://tinyurl.com/yc2gbe'&gt;http://tinyurl.com/yc2gbe&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for sales copy writing, there is no better guru to teach you than Jo&lt;br /&gt;Han Mok. Jo Han become a millionaire at a young age of 26 just after&lt;br /&gt;three years into Internet marketing business. He is famous for his&lt;br /&gt;sales copy writing skill and have consulted many individuals and&lt;br /&gt;company in helping them in converting their web pages to captivating&lt;br /&gt;sales page that increase the income of his clients. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever heard of a guru out there that treated writing a sales&lt;br /&gt;copy like fighting a war in battlefield? Jo Han is one of those sales&lt;br /&gt;copy writer that do just that. He is the man who incorporate the&lt;br /&gt;ancient chinese art of War to writing sales copy. If you do not know,&lt;br /&gt;the Chinese has been at wars within the country and with the barbarians&lt;br /&gt;from Mongolia for century in their long history. Many intelligent&lt;br /&gt;advisors have craft out some of the most practical and innovating&lt;br /&gt;strategies and techniques of winning the war for their Emperor. One of&lt;br /&gt;the famous advisor is Sun Tzu. This is one of the quotes translated to&lt;br /&gt;English by him “Warfare is the way of deception. Therefore, if&lt;br /&gt;able, appear unable. If active, appear non-action. If near, appear far.&lt;br /&gt;If far, appear near. Attack where they are not prepared, go out to&lt;br /&gt;where they do not expect.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Chiong Yew Heng is a very driven individual&lt;br /&gt;who aspire to attain great wealth in his life time. Four things are&lt;br /&gt;important to him. It is listed here in order of priority. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Spiritual life --- Man need spiritual blessing and fellowship with GOD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Relationship --- Man are born to fellowship with fellow man, especially his immediate families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Health --- Without Health, having massive Wealth is useless. You will not be able to enjoy it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

Perhaps they did it in order to give their spot an air of&lt;br /&gt;originality. More likely, they did it to save money. After all, they&lt;br /&gt;figure, anyone can read words into a microphone, right? Well, yes.&lt;br /&gt;Anyone can do that, just like anyone can make a meal. However, not&lt;br /&gt;everyone can do it with flair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If all the only thing you need to do is fill some airtime, then an&lt;br /&gt;amateur voice may be all you need. Similarly, if all you need to do is&lt;br /&gt;get rid of some hunger pangs, then a bologna sandwich will suffice. But&lt;br /&gt;you don't want to give a bologna sandwich to a potential client you're&lt;br /&gt;trying to impress—so why would you want to give the audio&lt;br /&gt;equivalent to a bologna sandwich to potential customers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When you purchase air time, you are not doing it to hear yourself&lt;br /&gt;talk: You're doing it in order to convince potential customers to buy&lt;br /&gt;your product. Sounding anything less than professional is not going to&lt;br /&gt;help you do that. And giving the impression that you're cheap, which&lt;br /&gt;using below-par voicing does, is going to give them the impression that&lt;br /&gt;you skimp elsewhere as well. If jewelry merchant puts substandard&lt;br /&gt;advertising out there for the world to see, how do I, as a potential&lt;br /&gt;customer, know that she doesn't also put out substandard jewelry? Yes,&lt;br /&gt;people do make that connection, even if they don't admit it. They may&lt;br /&gt;not even be conscious of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now, consider this. If you hire a professional voice over artist to&lt;br /&gt;sell your product, you are sending the public a message, however&lt;br /&gt;subliminally, that you understand how important it is to pay attention&lt;br /&gt;to the details. Advertising is one of those little details that it&lt;br /&gt;pays, quite literally, to pay attention to. When you are attempting to&lt;br /&gt;sell something, the packaging is your first line of attraction, and on&lt;br /&gt;the radio, the voice the customer hears is all the packaging you have,&lt;br /&gt;the only thing with which to impress him. Why leave that to an amateur?&lt;br /&gt;After all, you've paid good money for your advertising. It's much&lt;br /&gt;better to spend a little more on effective advertising than a little&lt;br /&gt;less on a spot that doesn't work. Or worse, a spot that makes you seem&lt;br /&gt;foolish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now what, exactly, will a professional voice-over artist give you&lt;br /&gt;that you can't do for yourself or get your brother-in-law to do?&lt;br /&gt;Plenty. For one thing, you get professionalism. That makes sense,&lt;br /&gt;right? You hire a professional; you get professionalism. You get&lt;br /&gt;know-how. Sure, everyone can speak, but that does not mean that&lt;br /&gt;everyone can speak well. A professional voice-over artist knows how to&lt;br /&gt;enunciate words so that people can understand what he or she is saying,&lt;br /&gt;while making it sound perfectly natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It's your choice in the end, of course. If you think that your&lt;br /&gt;customers don't pay attention to packaging and don't get annoyed by&lt;br /&gt;amateur commercials then, by all means, do it yourself. But if you want&lt;br /&gt;to send the message that you are a professional who knows when to call&lt;br /&gt;in the experts, then hire the best voice-over talent you can afford to&lt;br /&gt;read your next commercial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Terry Daniel is a Professional Voice Over Artist That Provides High-Quality Voice Overs.

Everybody knows that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are plenty of good salespeople out there. They have good product&lt;br /&gt;knowledge. They have good selling skills. And they are likable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The more competition you have, the more products that can do the&lt;br /&gt;same or similar things as yours, the more you need to help and advise&lt;br /&gt;your customers, not just sell to them. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great salespeople are an extremely valuable commodity because they are&lt;br /&gt;in such short supply. So, what are the bottom line differences between&lt;br /&gt;good salespeople and great?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Great salespeople are continually trying to better themselves. They&lt;br /&gt;are always layering on new skills while honing the skills they already&lt;br /&gt;have. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t just be GOOD. Many of your competitors are good and&lt;br /&gt;they’re doing everything that they can to be better. Become&lt;br /&gt;dissatisfied with good. If you are good – want to be excellent.&lt;br /&gt;Then become dissatisfied with excellent. When you are excellent, want&lt;br /&gt;to be outstanding. Continue along this path as far as you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great salespeople also have a higher level of ambition than ordinary &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;salespeople. Sure, they want all of the things that money can buy,&lt;br /&gt;such as bigger houses bigger cars and more interesting vacations. They&lt;br /&gt;also want the non – tangible things that money can buy such as&lt;br /&gt;respect, admiration and more freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another big difference between good and great is that great salespeople have a love for selling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now, you and I both know that it’s possible to make a great&lt;br /&gt;deal of money selling without having any love for it. So, what’s&lt;br /&gt;the big deal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The big deal is that at the end of a long career in sales, you have&lt;br /&gt;been competing against people who do love it. This means that for your&lt;br /&gt;entire career you have been competing against people who are willing to&lt;br /&gt;invest more time, and more energy in what they do for a living because&lt;br /&gt;they love what they’re doing. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putting more time and energy into any endeavor will almost always lead&lt;br /&gt;to greater success. This is as true for selling as it is for playing&lt;br /&gt;chess, playing piano or playing baseball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Imagine working for thirty years competing against people like&lt;br /&gt;that. For most of your career, you will feel like the salmon swimming&lt;br /&gt;upstream. You will have had a very long, very tiring journey, and, at&lt;br /&gt;the end of this long journey you will be completely worn out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But, most importantly, great salespeople are great because they&lt;br /&gt;want to get the most out of themselves. The big money is a byproduct of&lt;br /&gt;being great. It’s just another way of keeping score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winner Take All&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Selling is a ‘winner take all’ competition. The&lt;br /&gt;customer rewards the winner at the expense of everybody else. If you&lt;br /&gt;are even just slightly better than your competition, you will earn&lt;br /&gt;much, much more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let’s say you and I are competing salesmen, going after the&lt;br /&gt;same big account. If you are only 2 percent better than I am -&lt;br /&gt;follow-up, service, closing ability, etc. – and you make the&lt;br /&gt;sale, do you get only 2 percent more commission than I do? Of course&lt;br /&gt;not. You get it all. You get 100 percent and I get nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why a very small increase in your ability or effectiveness can lead to a very large increase in your income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here is the one thing that you can do to give yourself that extra&lt;br /&gt;advantage over your competition. This is the one strategy that can&lt;br /&gt;catapult you from good to great. By adding this one weapon to your&lt;br /&gt;arsenal you can guarantee yourself that you will dramatically increase&lt;br /&gt;your income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The solution is to study and understand how your customer is going&lt;br /&gt;to use your goods or services – in depth. The best salespeople&lt;br /&gt;see things through their customers' eyes. You must not only profile&lt;br /&gt;your customer, you must profile their customer too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s it.  The fastest way to dramatically increase your sales is to understand and help your customers’ customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each and every single day, we are being tested as salespeople because clients and prospects vote with the dollars they spend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Show the buyer how they will make or save money by using your goods&lt;br /&gt;or services. It is even better if you can translate that into dollars&lt;br /&gt;and cents. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do these things and I can assure you that you will have all of the great successes that your heart desires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Gary Wollin is a Warren Buffet style&lt;br /&gt;investment advisor with 45+ years of Wall Street experience.

The attorney marketing attitude we are looking for is a&lt;br /&gt;detached attitude of having no attachment to what the prospective&lt;br /&gt;client decides. Instead you are committed to delivering a good process&lt;br /&gt;to them that enables them to decide, hopefully from an educated&lt;br /&gt;position. You are a facilitator, not someone who is trying to get them&lt;br /&gt;to make any particular decision. If you catch yourself convincing or&lt;br /&gt;presenting your case you are off track. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second distinction is known as “permission marketing”.&lt;br /&gt;This suggests that in successful attorney marketing you always need to&lt;br /&gt;get the prospective client’s permission first if you are going to&lt;br /&gt;ask questions or make guesses about what they may be thinking that&lt;br /&gt;could lead to some uncomfortable feelings on the client’s part.&lt;br /&gt;One never wants to get in the position with where you are pressuring&lt;br /&gt;the person or you have indeed lost the game. With these two attorney&lt;br /&gt;marketing reminders lets move on to the draft-scripts on “I want&lt;br /&gt;to think about it” type concerns prospective clients might come&lt;br /&gt;up with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;First response in general is always: “That makes sense to&lt;br /&gt;me.” or “I can understand that”. Then say. “I&lt;br /&gt;am curious. Do you mind if I ask you a question?” Before moving&lt;br /&gt;on to explore the prospect’s thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Possible re-direct question: “What is it that is causing you&lt;br /&gt;to want to think about it? Are you not sure you want to go this route&lt;br /&gt;or are you not sure you would want to work with me as your&lt;br /&gt;lawyer?” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they say it is not you but the “route” then you need to&lt;br /&gt;review with them the value in going that way while acknowledging any&lt;br /&gt;downsides of that route (if any) and sorting out what their concerns&lt;br /&gt;are about the suggested route. If they actually say it is you, then ask&lt;br /&gt;them very kindly what is it about you that concern them. Is it your&lt;br /&gt;experience? Is your personality or “bedside manner”&lt;br /&gt;concerning them (be sure they know you would really appreciate honest&lt;br /&gt;feedback so you can improve with others – but realize few people&lt;br /&gt;indeed will tell you if it is you)? If it is neither of the above then&lt;br /&gt;it must be the fee or something they won’t tell you. If they own&lt;br /&gt;up to the fee see the material on money objections from last month. If&lt;br /&gt;it is something they won’t tell you then give up. Gracefully get&lt;br /&gt;out of further conversation and move on to the next prospect! In&lt;br /&gt;attorney marketing you can’t win them all. Best to move on&lt;br /&gt;gracefully and maybe they will come around later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Possible re-direct: “No problem. I think it is good for you&lt;br /&gt;to think about it. I am curious though. Do you mind if I ask you a&lt;br /&gt;question? What exactly do you need to know in order to make the best&lt;br /&gt;decision for you? Perhaps you would like to work together with me now&lt;br /&gt;and lets come up with the “decision points” so you can be&lt;br /&gt;clear on what you need to think through. OK?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some points to think through and maybe suggest to the client:&lt;br /&gt;Cost/benefit analysis (not just monetary but emotional as well impacts&lt;br /&gt;on other people like the family or business); quality of the lawyer,&lt;br /&gt;trust for the lawyer; how easy is it to get them on the phone if I need&lt;br /&gt;the lawyer, experience of the lawyer; experience of the lawyer’s&lt;br /&gt;team; does this professional have a fiduciary relationship to me; how&lt;br /&gt;do I know they can deliver the desired result quickly as it is costing&lt;br /&gt;$7K a month if this drags out, reputation of the firm the lawyer is in;&lt;br /&gt;can I do without going this way totally so I don’t have to spend&lt;br /&gt;the money on an attorney at all; who do I need to ask for advice before&lt;br /&gt;making this decision (my relatives/friends/trusted advisors, etc.), who&lt;br /&gt;do I need to get to agree with the decision so I don’t have any&lt;br /&gt;fall out afterward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Possible re-direct: “No problem. I think you should think&lt;br /&gt;about it. Most of my clients who needed more time to think about it&lt;br /&gt;need about a week to make the decision. I have a suggestion. Could I&lt;br /&gt;share it with you? What if we went through together, now briefly, what&lt;br /&gt;are the key factors you need to know and consider in order to decide if&lt;br /&gt;this is the best option for you? Then you can think about it for maybe&lt;br /&gt;a week and then I will call you to see what you have decided if you&lt;br /&gt;have not already called me to let me know your decision. Can that work&lt;br /&gt;for you?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Possible re-direct: No problem. I understand. Often people in your&lt;br /&gt;situation say they need to think about it. Makes good sense. (Pause a&lt;br /&gt;bit here and then say) Do you mind if I ask you a question though?&lt;br /&gt;“Yes.” First, this is an emotional time with a lot at stake&lt;br /&gt;for you and maybe family looking over your shoulder. Sometimes when&lt;br /&gt;folks tell me they want to “think about it” they have not&lt;br /&gt;told me something or have a fear that is holding them back. Would you&lt;br /&gt;trust me and tell me if there is something you are holding back or some&lt;br /&gt;fear that is stopping you now from saying yes to moving forward. Even&lt;br /&gt;if you think it might offend me or be impolite to say to me or maybe&lt;br /&gt;even if you think I might think badly of you if you told me? After all&lt;br /&gt;if we are going to work together we need to have an honest and&lt;br /&gt;straightforward relationship. Also if I have made some mistake or&lt;br /&gt;offended you in some way I would like to hear about it so I can change&lt;br /&gt;and it does not happen again. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possible re-direct: No problem. I understand. Often people in your&lt;br /&gt;situation say they need to think about it. I am curious though. Do you&lt;br /&gt;mind if I say something really straightforward to you? “No”&lt;br /&gt;Often people just are afraid to make a decision so they say&lt;br /&gt;automatically “I need to think about it.” Could that be the&lt;br /&gt;case for you now? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there you go. Two articles on dealing with objections completed.&lt;br /&gt;If you go to my website and sign up for my free 7-part eCourse on&lt;br /&gt;Client Development you will find more on the general subject of&lt;br /&gt;attorney marketing scripts that includes the area of&lt;br /&gt;“objections” in the 6th lesson.

Like most of us, all&lt;br /&gt;you started with was an open Page on your desk top monitor, an empty&lt;br /&gt;email Inbox, and a strong desire to make money on the Internet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Using the age-old “Trial and Error” system, perhaps you&lt;br /&gt;began to discover a whole menu of ‘self help’ –&lt;br /&gt;‘how’ to” e-zines and ‘must have&lt;br /&gt;reports’. For most, they simply contained similar information on&lt;br /&gt;Internet Marketing served up as a different dish, but to be fair many&lt;br /&gt;did warn you of the dreaded “Information Overload”, with&lt;br /&gt;lurid stories of empty bank balances , maxed out credit cards, and&lt;br /&gt;minds full of irrelevant information, and ending up no nearer to their&lt;br /&gt;goal than when they first started. Maybe you thought to&lt;br /&gt;yourself…”How can these chumps fall into such a&lt;br /&gt;state…and end up with no success?”,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Fast forward, - Your email inbox is overflowing with the latest&lt;br /&gt;Guru promotions, that you must download immediately or you will crash&lt;br /&gt;and burn!!. With one hand they offer Freebies and Gifts of all sizes&lt;br /&gt;while the other hand tries to open your wallet. As you struggle to&lt;br /&gt;resist and pry their fingers away, you discover there are three other&lt;br /&gt;sets already in there!!! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as you vow never to download another product, another tasty titbit&lt;br /&gt;arrives and takes you on another fantasy journey of wealth and success.&lt;br /&gt;You discover that you are downloading projects and information on&lt;br /&gt;Internet Marketing techniques that you already bought months ago, and&lt;br /&gt;didn’t have the time to read &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are now struggling to pay of your plastic, while juggling your&lt;br /&gt;monthly outgoings. Your mind feels as soft as a marshmallow, full with&lt;br /&gt;so many strategies and formulas that you just can’t seem to&lt;br /&gt;format any of them. And your still chasing that one&lt;br /&gt;‘Secret’ that’s going to make the big break through&lt;br /&gt;to your Internet Marketing Success. If you recognise that&lt;br /&gt;profile?… Welcome to “Information Overload&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some clever or lucky people will never have undergo this part of&lt;br /&gt;the education curve, but for us mere mortals, it seem we have to suffer&lt;br /&gt;before we are able to see the light at the end of the tunnel Maybe you&lt;br /&gt;have reached the stage where you have to say STOP I want to get off!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is what you have to do. Focus on exactly what you want and&lt;br /&gt;ignore what you don’t want. Forget the million dollar programs&lt;br /&gt;that promise Free Money with no impute. That’s dreamtime.&lt;br /&gt;Concentrate on Reality! Choose one program or product, and then decide&lt;br /&gt;how you are going to market it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You may already have this knowledge, stored away in the numerous&lt;br /&gt;reports and ezines gathering cyber dust on your system, but&lt;br /&gt;here’s a quick synopsis of what is needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Take Paper and a Magnifying glass. If you hold the glass in the&lt;br /&gt;same place between the paper and the sun soon you will have a raging&lt;br /&gt;fire. But a moving class will not even make a scorch mark!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Open a Folder on your desk-top called “Working Folder”&lt;br /&gt;and place in it only the product and marketing tools that you are&lt;br /&gt;currently using. Keep it un-clutted and only add other tools as and&lt;br /&gt;when required&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Focus on your chosen advertising method, until you're "comfortable"&lt;br /&gt;with it - and have sufficient experience with it. Only then should you&lt;br /&gt;consider moving on to the next technique (trying to "master" and apply&lt;br /&gt;too many techniques at once will only lead to more frustration!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You may find that one or two advertising methods are enough to&lt;br /&gt;supply you with all the traffic your business needs - if not, you can&lt;br /&gt;continue mastering and applying the techniques of your choice&lt;br /&gt;one-by-one until you've reached your desired level of traffic and&lt;br /&gt;income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Internet is simply a World Wide Market place. You have to get&lt;br /&gt;your information out there and show them the way to your store.

That's right, every day you receive a wealth of valuable&lt;br /&gt;marketing information that could improve your mortgage business&lt;br /&gt;dramatically. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're like most people, you are ignoring this valuable learning&lt;br /&gt;opportunity. In fact, you're probably throwing away your junk mail&lt;br /&gt;immediately and deleting emails without even looking at what's being&lt;br /&gt;offered and how it's offered. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as email goes...most of us sign up for mailing lists in order to&lt;br /&gt;access information. We understand that the price for that information&lt;br /&gt;is giving up an email address. The result is a series of subsequent&lt;br /&gt;marketing emails from the person providing the goodies. When we get&lt;br /&gt;those emails, we might read them or we might just delete them as we go&lt;br /&gt;about our daily business. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether it's a direct mail piece or an electronic email delivered to&lt;br /&gt;your inbox...what you should be doing is reading each of them very&lt;br /&gt;carefully. No, I'm not saying that every product offer you receive&lt;br /&gt;deserves your purchase via credit card! Far from it! What I'm arguing&lt;br /&gt;is that each of those offers is a free object lesson in marketing. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read them. Analyze them. What is the person sending them doing right?&lt;br /&gt;Is the letter/flier or email a good one or a bad one? Is it effective&lt;br /&gt;or does it turn you off? Does it get your attention? Does it make you&lt;br /&gt;want to buy? Would it make others want to buy? What can you learn from&lt;br /&gt;it? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay careful attention to the mailings from successful marketers who are&lt;br /&gt;recognized as top performers in their fields. Learn from their direct&lt;br /&gt;mail and emails. In many cases, major advertising agencies have put&lt;br /&gt;these offers together at a tremendous cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'm not suggesting that you read every piece of spam sent to you,&lt;br /&gt;but you should pay close attention to the opt-in mailings you receive.&lt;br /&gt;Even if you aren't interested in the product behind the mailing, the&lt;br /&gt;text of that copy itself can be extremely valuable to you as a mortgage&lt;br /&gt;professional and a marketer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Everyday I receive over three hundred emails. Many of these are a&lt;br /&gt;result of my opt-ins to subscriptions, newsletters, and email courses.&lt;br /&gt;Some are just plain spam. I don't use any email filters because they&lt;br /&gt;also inadvertently filter out the good emails I want to read. The&lt;br /&gt;spammers will always win the battle with programmers that design our&lt;br /&gt;email filters. Never do I miss an important email because it was placed&lt;br /&gt;in a junk folder somewhere automatically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I try to handle each email once. It is either deleted immediately&lt;br /&gt;or, if it is a result of my opt-in and covers topics like Real Estate,&lt;br /&gt;Mortgage and Finance, Internet Marketing, or Customer/Client stuff, I&lt;br /&gt;do a speed read and save it using the sender's name as the folder name.&lt;br /&gt;I don't save the emails in an Outlook folder...instead; I set up an&lt;br /&gt;email folder on an external disc drive and save each in their own file.&lt;br /&gt;If the email requires my action, it's flagged and left in the inbox&lt;br /&gt;until completed. It's then saved and the original message deleted. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll be surprised how quickly you can review your junk mail and email&lt;br /&gt;and benefit as a result. Subscribe to as much as you can and read them.&lt;br /&gt;You'll learn how to better market your mortgage products, how to refine&lt;br /&gt;your advertising copy, and much more. It's a completely free resource&lt;br /&gt;that deserves better treatment than a quick trip to the trash can or&lt;br /&gt;the delete key!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Tom Domin is the author of "101 Ways to&lt;br /&gt;Originate Mortgages" and publisher of "Tom's Mortgage Tips" a twice&lt;br /&gt;monthly Mortgage Newsletter geared for Mortgage Professionals.

Many spammers send out internet marketing through the&lt;br /&gt;use of email mailings, but this type of internet marketing is not&lt;br /&gt;considered legal unless the internet marketing audience has consented&lt;br /&gt;to let you send internet marketing materials to them through email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Because email is such a valuable tool in the internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;world, those interested in internet marketing do not want to completely&lt;br /&gt;throw away the idea of internet marketing through email. However, there&lt;br /&gt;are some internet marketing safety precautions you should take if you&lt;br /&gt;plan on utilizing email for internet marketing. This will help avoid&lt;br /&gt;illegal internet marketing activity on your part and also annoyance on&lt;br /&gt;the part of your internet marketing audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;One internet marketing tool that can be used for internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;through email is requiring a double confirmation of internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;mailing list addresses. In other words, when you plan to use email&lt;br /&gt;internet marketing, you allow anyone in your internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;audience who is interested to sign up with their email address. A good&lt;br /&gt;rule of thumb for internet marketing is to have these internet&lt;br /&gt;marketing email addresses confirmed a second time by the intent&lt;br /&gt;marketing audience. This assures you that your internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;audience did indeed sign up for internet marketing emails that they are&lt;br /&gt;interested in. It helps prevent illegal internet marketing spam emails&lt;br /&gt;or internet marketing problems with your internet marketing audience&lt;br /&gt;due to misunderstanding or mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There are also certain internet marketing words which should be&lt;br /&gt;avoided if possible, when you are sending out internet marketing emails&lt;br /&gt;to your internet marketing audience. For example, if your internet&lt;br /&gt;marketing email contains the word “free” a certain number&lt;br /&gt;of times, that internet marketing email may be dumped into the spam&lt;br /&gt;folders of your internet marketing audience. Unfortunately, internet&lt;br /&gt;marketing through email has changed drastically because of the&lt;br /&gt;irresponsible and unethical practices of many internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;techniques. However, there are still ways that internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;through email can be effective and supported by your internet marketing&lt;br /&gt;audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Laurie Raphael operates a website promoting multiple streams of residual income.

If you're&lt;br /&gt;concerned about privacy, a Post Office box is a great way to go. When&lt;br /&gt;signing up for a Post Office box, consider using a "Mailboxes" store&lt;br /&gt;instead of the Post Office-you'll get a street address instead of the&lt;br /&gt;typical "P.O.

Need a business card and brochure? Why not combine the two&lt;br /&gt;into a folding business card and save on the printing costs? Is your&lt;br /&gt;logo designed in so many colors that printing becomes too costly? Try&lt;br /&gt;having materials printed digitally by an online printing house like&lt;br /&gt;psprint.com or vistaprint.com-they're often much more cost-effective&lt;br /&gt;for materials printed on white paper stock. If you want to print on a&lt;br /&gt;specialty paper, consider converting your logo to a one- or two-color&lt;br /&gt;version just for your printed materials-unlimited colors on a website&lt;br /&gt;don't cost extra!
