“I can’t believe that it’s been already 7 months since we first started. You gave us invaluable knowledge on how to target local markets and get more exposure. There’s even some international emails I receive every now and then but I already have my hands full. We normally get 1-2 good leads a week with our physical store. That’s like 8 potential customers. In our industry, that is already good! With our online venture, we were able to generate an average of 30 new leads per month! Even if they do convert or not, we were able to get more branding power and increase profit margin. My partners didn’t know about this internet marketing thing and they were getting skeptical of the sudden increase of customers! I can clearly say that the coaching paid off and the ROI was extremely worth it. Will look forward to your next email.”

“I’ve been in the business for a long time. I’ve also been around long enough to know that I needed help. I love Squidoo as a platform and it’s a great way to make passive income. These guys basically created a bunch of lenses for me with top notch content. Toys are just a simple hobby of mine and if it makes me money, then it’s all the better right? You know what else they did? They also created my Twitter, maintained it and they add targeted followers each day. Yep, that’s daily. They know how not to get banned! Now, I’ll be going with your suggestion of finally building my Toys site. It’s going to be fun!”

“I’m very happy to hear from your company again. I’d be honored to tell your clients about my experience. Our conversion was low. We were getting the traffic we needed but it was barely converting. We were using a web design just using iWeb for crying out loud. It just wasn’t enough and it was tedious updating the site. We opted to go with your service around 2 months ago and I’m damn happy with the conversion %. From 5% it became 21.4%! We can instantly pinpoint the reason and it’s the design. It looks more professional and credible now! I will be launching my new sites for ************ and ******** after you finish the designs. Can’t wait!”

“I’ve been with you guys for so long and I’m really happy that you are finally launching a bigger service. I will definitely give you my highest recommendation. If you are going to post this on your site, well, first of all, I write my articles on my blog. Second, that’s it. Every niche I promote, I used articles from these guys. Top notch, spin ready, no matter what service you use, be it Senuke, Unique Article Wizard, or whatever. As you can see, I’ve made less than 30 posts on my blog for OVER a year. That’s how busy I was “writing.” Thank you guys for finding me. It’s been a great ride. ”

“Our site was going nowhere. In the fitness niche, it is damn hard to even get noticed, especially for new sites. Your tips and tricks for on page optimization did a lot of good things. We’re so glad we met you guys some months back, now we are ranking on the 1st page thanks to your consistent link building service. Will definitely work with you guys long term. Ed and I want to thank you guys for doing a heck of a job.”

“We just took a 3 month Full Seo package from them. After just a couple of months, we already had a term ranking 18th for a VERY competitive keyword. 193,000,000 in fact. It’s one word and it drives crazy traffic. It’s almost impossible to rank for that word and now here’s my blog. Thinking of getting some web design package as well to boost my adsense ctr in the future! Thank you so much guys! Can’t wait until we get to page 1. It will be too awesome.”

The next step would be just to get started on it! Start writing creatively, from your heart, not just spitting out facts on a paper. People are reading your eBook because they do not want to read and search for information located everywhere about a specific topic. They want a concise, easy to read; interesting eBook they can print out and curl on the couch with. It goes without saying that no one should ever plagiarize; not only is it unlawful, it is disrespectful.

Always spell check and edit your work by reading it when you have finished. Polish it off by organizing each chapter into an eBook. Come up with a savvy title that catches the audience. If you really enjoy this line of business, you could do this full time and quit your day job.

So what is the point in retrieving the customer’s name and email address? Have you heard of opt-in lists? An opt-in list is gold to an internet marketer because you can send your customers information which will hopefully attract the customer back to the website to either purchase a product or service being offered. Spamming is illegal and having a great opt-in list is really necessary to any Internet marketer. You can also use your list to make money as an affiliate with another company. You can send customers an email from the site you are promoting and make profits as an affiliate. This is a great way to earn extra income indeed.

Squeeze pages are sometimes the first page found on a website. Sometimes they are pop ups on the index page of a website. They are very crucial to any Internet marketer’s business.

Free newsletters are much easier because you can get a lot of people opt-in and you can sell them a subscription in the future. Everyone loves free stuff. Occasionally, at the end of the email you may want to offer special subscriber only promotions or notify your subscribers of new products or services. You could even offer special subscriber only bonuses with a purchase.

By the way, if you send your subscribers what begins to look like sales letters, they will opt out quicker than you can say wait! Be careful because this is your potential customer crowd and it is like gold to you.

Being used to a steady paycheck from a regular job, with a family or other financial obligations, makes stepping out of your comfort zone a little risky. It doesn’t seem to matter how miserable you are in that job, the alternative scares the pants off many of us. There is a safer way of jumping off that cliff and it entails your current boss.

Your employer could be your ticket to a successful freelance business, if his business doesn’t conflict with your dreams. If you were thinking of starting a freelance copywriting business, you could negotiate a contract with your current employer for 50% of your time for the first year after you leave. This would give you a springboard for finding other clients while still covering your monthly expenses.

You’re probably wondering about now, why your employer would agree to sign a contract for half of your time? There are a number of reasons, and they can result in a “win-win” situation for both of you.

If you’re on good terms with your employer, chances are he doesn’t want to lose you. It takes time to train someone to fill your job and train them to the company’s way of being productive.

Even if he decides to replace you, it can take months to gather resumes, interview candidates, and hire the right person. During that time you can be performing job functions from your home office, perhaps even training your replacement and providing your boss with a smoother transition by minimizing the disruption to his business.

If you’re not on good terms with your boss and the company is downsizing, merging, or being bought out, you can help them avoid the unpleasantness and cost of firing you. You are actually doing them a favor by restructuring this in the form of a contract for services that can be “stretched out” for a period of time if needed.

Frankly, if an employer has to choose between letting you go and paying severance and benefits versus signing a contract for a time period, which do you think they’d prefer? Signing and getting tangible work and services in return without the costs associated with terminating you is a much better deal for him. The contract may even be allocated from a different budget category, making it more affordable for the company.

There’s another reason your boss may opt for a contract, and that is your knowledge. You are already familiar with the company, its clients and services. You’re able to provide the services they need and you understand what has to be done. Many creative people have used this logic in approaching their bosses to negotiate their first contract and go out on their own.

If you’re interested in starting your own business your current job can provide the security you need in your first year. What better way to get started on your dream?
