Don Resh asked:


An interested visitor who has been strolling through your site has finally come to just what she is looking for and is about to make a purchase. It’s a sunny afternoon, and her cat, who happens to be sitting on the moss under the visitor’s large fifty-year-old snow-rose bonsai tree, suddenly jumps down, and the priceless tree topples over.

In the blink of an eye, your visitor exits your site, and your sale is dust - unless you have had the foresight to utilize an autoresponder that has captured her email address. If you have installed an autoresponder, you can then follow-up with her, and in all probability, make the sale when the poor woman has finished repotting her precious bonsai.

Autoresponders are remarkable, versatile programs that do so much more than just automatically answer your email. Here are a few ideas that will help you to creatively and productively use your autoresponder to transform the casual visitor into a profitable customer. Use your autoresponder to:

1. Publish a newsletter. Certain quality autoresponders will manage subscriptions and follow-up with interested prospects. Your newsletter can keep your visitors informed about your services or products, while building your reputation as a credible expert in your particular business.

2. Publish a newsletter only for your affiliates. Inform them of current sales you are running and of promotional material that your affiliates can use themselves to increase their commissions. Include tips, advice, and techniques that your affiliates can use to successfully go out and promote your business.

3. Write reviews. Cover books, software, music, e-books, movies, etc., and put each review in an autoresponder. Review your affiliate programs, using a link to your affiliate’s page in your autoresponder.

4. Distribute your articles. Writing and distributing targeted articles is a powerful tool to build your business credibility, bring traffic to your site, and increase your sales potential. If your articles contain valuable information, many editors will print what is known as a resource box for you. A resource box contains your bio and a brief description of your service or product. It can also contain your autoresponder address. Let’s say you’ve written fifty articles. Put them on separate autoresponder accounts and create a master list that contains the titles of each article, the autoresponder address, and a brief abstract. Then promote your master list. Additionally, include your publishing guidelines so your affiliates can add their articles to your list, increasing the number of writers who are represented in your article list.

5. Create mailing lists. Inform subscribers to your articles when you’ve written new ones that they may want to publish in their own newsletter or website.

6. Automate your sales process. Use an ad to insure repeated exposure of your message, which has been proven to effectively increase sales. In your ad, put your autoresponder address where a visitor will be exposed to numerous marketing materials. This multiplies the chances of converting visitors into customers. For example, if you’re selling a particular product, put testimonials about how spectacular it is on your autoresponder, and add a detailed, enticing description of your product.

7. Distribute advertising. Let’s say you sell advertising on your website or in your newsletter or e-zine. Set your autoresponder to send the information about rates and how to place an ad automatically to all prospects’ email addresses. Then have your autoresponder follow-up. It can also send notification of any special deals you are currently offering.

8. Distribute an email course. Each day, have your autoresponder send out another lesson. Just be sure that each lesson has quality content - not a sales pitch. Your content will do the selling for you, and will do it much more effectively. You can include tips centered on a different topic for each lesson, illustrating how your product will benefit the reader. Include the tangible benefits the visitor will reap by purchasing your product. Make sure to include a paragraph or two at the end of each lesson enticing your prospect to consider making a purchase.

9. Automate a reminder about your service or product after a visitor has completed your course. This will increase the possibility of sales from visitors who have taken your course but are dragging their feet about actually making a purchase. You can also use these reminders to promote new products or services, and the products and services of your affiliate programs.

10. Distribute free reports. This gives your visitor an idea of the type of information you can provide and the quality of your product or service. Make sure these reports are not sales letters or you will more than likely lose a potential customer than gain a sale.

11. Create trivia quizzes on your site and place the answers in an autoresponder. Your visitor will then be motivated to request your autoresponder, and you will have a record of the visitors’ email addresses who took your quiz. Or create a contest and have any visitors that enter send their responses to your autoresponder. Your autoresponder can be set-up to send them a confirmation of their entry.

12. Offer a trial version of your product. Give your prospects a sample of your ebook, course, software, membership, etc. People who are exposed to a little taste often end up wanting the whole pie. You can also capture their email addresses when you offer them a free trial from your website. Set up your autoresponder to give instructions on how to obtain their free trial, and then make sure to follow-up to try and close the sale.

13. Link to hidden pages on your autoresponder. For example, a hidden page could be your affiliate page that contains graphics, promotional articles, and text links that interested affiliates can make use of. Inform visitors that they may have free access to your affiliate page by simply requesting your autoresponder. You will then gather a list of visitors who may be interested in becoming your affiliates.

14. Use an autoresponder on your order page. Post a request form for visitors to be notified of special offers or discounts in the future. This creates a very effective mailing list that contains the names of people who are already your customers.

15. Put your links page on your autoresponder. It should contain up to fifty links that would be of particular interest to your visitors. Make sure to add your own promotional copy at the top or bottom of this page.

Now that you have proof that autoresponders can be used creatively, see if you can come up with some brilliant ideas of your own!

Vickie Champion asked:


Are you debating back and forth whether or not to continue your coaching sessions? Would you like to make leaps and bounds but don’t really know how? Maybe you’re just stuck in a rut and don’t know which way to turn.

The easiest way to get the most from a coach is to tap into your “intuition.” Using your “intuition” which also can be defined as a “sense” or a “knowing,” you can find the perfect coach for you, make your sessions both fun and insightful and create amazing results.

To see if you are getting the most from coaching, answer these questions and total your score

MOST OF THE TIME=3 points SOMETIMES=2 points SELDOM=1 point

· I don’t feel any progress or growth.

· There is a lot of rescheduling sessions, either initiated by me or my coach.

· I find myself complaining about the costs.

· I feel beaten down after my sessions.

· I find my coach or myself multi-tasking during my session.

· My coach isn’t an observer and has investments in the direction I’m taking.

· I either don’t make time or struggle to do my homework.

· My coach argues or is defensive about his or her advice.

· I find myself relying on my coach to pull me out of a crisis.

· I don’t feel I’m really being listened too.

· I feel guilty when I don’t follow my coach’s suggestions or homework assignments.

· I try to change who “I am” to fit my coach’s formulas for success.

IF YOUR TOTAL IS:

25 to 36 Before you start feeling the coaching industry is a scam, stop your sessions! Without a doubt, there is an easier, more enjoyable way to: find out if coaching is for you, hire the perfect coach and get the results you want. Learning to use your “intuition” can free you from the pain and struggle in any situation.

19 to 24 You’re probably sensing something isn’t quite right. Either you’re ignoring the little signs, working harder to “make it happen,” are a glutton for some sort of punishment, or can’t say “no.” Learning both to recognize and then follow through on your “intuition” can give you the confidence to find or create a more favorable coaching relationship.

12 to 18 You’re well on your way. It’s quite evident you have experienced numerous benefits from using your “intuition” in choosing your coach and making the most of your sessions. Keep fine tuning your ability to listen to your “intuition” and nothing will be impossible.

Redrose asked:


There has been a lot written about the state of healthcare in America. And if you’ve been paying attention, you know that a lot of money gets spent. A lot by the federal government in medicare and legislation. A lot by state agencies. A lot by employeers. And even more by employees themselves.

But how much is really being spent? And where does all that “spending” go? To test your healthcare spending IQ, take the Healthcare Spending Quiz. Then you decide if all those dollars make GOOD sense.

1. How much is spent on healthcare each year in the US?

a. $1.5 billion

b. $2 Billion

c. $5 Billion

d. $2 Trillion

Answer: The answer is “d”. According to Modern Healthcare Online, overall spending on US healthcare was $2 TRILLION in 2005 and is projected to increase 20% by 2015.

2. How many personal bankruptcies are caused by illness or medical bills?

a. 10%

b. 50%

c. 33%

d. 75%

Answer: The answer is “c”. Half of all personal bankruptcies are caused by illness or medical bills, a number that increased 2200% between 1981 and 2006 (according to Health Affairs Journal, “Medical Bankruptcy: Myth v. Fact”, David Dranove and Michael L. Millenson, March/April 2006; 25(2): w74-w83).

3. How much of every dollar do private insurance companies spend on administrative overhead?

a. 10 - 20%

b. 20 – 25%

c. 25 – 30%

d. 30% or more

Answer: The answer is “d”. More than 30% of every healthcare dollar is spent on administrative overhead in private insurance and services that don’t appear to improve health or the quality of care for patients. That is approximately $650 billion per year. “More than is being spent on the war in Iraq,” says John Abramson in his column for Harvard Medical School (Los Angeles Times, Nov. 3, 2006).

4. From 2000 to 2005, how much did health benefits program fees rise?

a. 25%

b. 38%

c. 73%

d. 100%

Answer: The answer is “c”. From 2000 to 2005, health benefits fees increased 73%, compared to an aggregate increase in workers’ income of just 15%. (Chicago Tribune, Jan. 31, 2006) or 3X faster than wages and inflation combined (UC Berkeley Center for Labor research and Education, Dec. 2006).

5. By how much has the average U.S. employee’s contribution to “employer-sponsored” health benefits plans increased since 2000?

a. 33%

b. 75%

c. 100%

d. More than 100%

Answer: The answer is “d”. According to the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, between 2000 and 2004 the average cost of employer-sponsored health care plans was $3695 for an individual and $9950 for a family. The employee’s average contribution to those plans was $2261, an increase of more than a 160%! While those numbers were tracked from 2000 to 2004, employee contributions have continued to rise, so it is safe to say that employees have seen well above 160% increase in their own pay outs for their “employer-sponsored” health packages in just seven years.

That is the “Healthcare Spending Quiz”. Unlike other quizzes, a higher score, doesn’t make you feel like a winner. It simply makes you better informed about the downward spiral traditional U.S. healthcare is in. The only thing that can make you or me or Joe down the street a winner is working together to make a positive change in healthcare choices.

Pass this quiz along and give a friend the power of knowledge.

The New Year is often a time for individuals to think about making improvements in their lives and one of the areas in which people are most dissatisfied is work. Simply making a resolution to leave a job, train for a new career or set up a business isn’t enough. You need to take action.

Some people know what the ideal career would be for them, but feel it’s beyond reach. Others have a passion or a hobby but don’t believe it could ever make them any money. And most people would like to set up a business but don’t have the right experience.

The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program gives individuals who are interested in turning their decorating talents and creativity into a new career the tools to start and grow their own successful home staging business. If you are one of those people who have a passion for design and decorating, home staging may be the ideal way to marry your passion with a highly lucrative business opportunity.

Home Staging (House Staging, House Fluffing, Real Estate Staging) is the art of decorating a home to sell quickly and for top dollar. Home staging has been named one of the hottest growth businesses by Entrepreneur Magazine.

“My mission is to inspire and empower others to discover new opportunities to live the life of their dreams”, said internationally recognized home stager Debra Gould, President of StagingDiva.com and developer of the Staging Diva Training Program. “For many of our Staging Diva Graduates, it’s their first opportunity to combine their passion for decorating with a desire to run their own business.”

The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program is the only home staging program taught by someone with an MBA and over 25 years of business experience, who has also personally built a successful home staging business (not as a sideline to selling real estate). The program’s emphasis is on business practices, marketing strategies and pricing of services. It is not a “decorating” course but instead encourages those with an eye for decorating to turn their passion into a business.

Want to know if Home Staging is the right business for you? Gould has also developed an online quiz to help you decide. View the free quiz at the Staging Diva website.

Heather Ray Ryan of Florida says, “The Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program gave me the knowledge, power and confidence to quit my job of eight years and start doing something I have only dreamed of. Family and friends have a new found respect for me for being an example to my children by stepping outside my comfort zone and going for what I really want!”

The next Home Staging Training Program begins February 20, 2008. For the course description and schedule, visit the Staging Diva website. Debra adds, “Over 700 Staging Diva graduates worldwide agree that my course is not theory, it’s practical hands-on advice you can use today and in the years ahead as your business evolves.”
