How Good Is Your Big Idea
Q: I want to start my own business. I have tons of business ideas that all sound great to me, but my husband is not so sure. He says that we need to figure out a way to test my ideas to pick the one that has the best chance of succeeding. I’m ready to just pick one and go for it. What is the best way to determine if a business idea really is as good as it sounds? -- Hannah C.A: Heather, I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but your husband is right (first time for everything, huh): before you just pick a business idea and go for it you should test the feasibility of your ideas to make sure they really are as good as you think they are.Every business idea, no matter how good it sounds whi

The Seven Commandments in Direct Sales
Here are some guidelines that will improve your gross sales, and quite naturally, your gross income. I like to call them the Seven Commandments. Look them over; give some thought to them and adapt them to your own selling efforts.1. If the product you're selling is something your customer can hold in his hands, get it into his hands as quickly as possible. In other words, get the customer "into the act." Let him feel it, weigh it, admire it.2. Don't stand or sit beside your customer. Instead, face him while you're pointing out the important advantages of your product. This will enable you to watch his facial expressions and determine whether and when you should go for the close.3. In handl

Would you like to easily create a viral marketing campaign that will drive massive website traffic to your site and increase your sales for years to come? Wouldn't it be great if you could create such a viral marketing campaign by giving away other people's products -- for free -- with their permission?

It's very easy. Anyone can do it in just three simple steps.

Step 1: Select master resale rights products or private label products that relate to your website's niche and that can be packaged with other products and given away for free.

Products are available on the Internet on almost any topic. Many are marketed with master resale rights, resale rights, or private label rights included either as a bonus or for a higher price. Choose resale rights products related to your website niche. And since rights can vary, be very sure that the products you choose can be included in packages and given away for free.

Step 2: Create your own unique viral marketing product by repackaging the resale rights products selected in step 1 into a package. Promote your website in the new package, and provide an incentive for people to pass the package on to others.

The easiest way to do this is by creating a small eBook that contains download links for the products you selected in step 1 and that ties these products together around a theme related to your website. Provide links to drive the website traffic to a Web page that is only promoted within your eBook so that you can track your results as your website traffic virus grows.

There are a variety of eBook creation tools readily available on the Internet. Some create eBooks as .exe files for PC's only. Others create PDF files that can be read on computers with any operating system using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader that is usually already installed.

To initiate your massive website traffic virus, you need to give people an incentive to pass your eBook on. Be sure that the eBook creation product you choose includes the ability to let people rebrand links or even text within the eBook. They at least should be able to add a "Sponsored By" link that will promote their website. This rebranding capability is common in most of the better .exe eBook creation software, but less common in PDF creation software. Be sure to check that the software you use will provide this feature.

Buying a Franchise Business & Making the Right Choice
Buying a Franchise offers many benefits over starting a business on your own. The franchisees benefit from the training and ongoing support that they receive whilst trying to make their business successful. People starting a business on their own often have no help or guidance in the day to day running of the business!The franchisees receive guidance on location, fixtures and fittings, marketing and operation of the business model. This guidance is based on years of experience the franchiser has gained not only from running the business model but also from advising other franchisees.Buying a franchise business is at least a five year commitment and as such should not be taken lightly. It is impor

Discernment for Decisions
Rock & Roll ServiceMy husband and I are not regular church goers but on occasion attend - like this past Sunday. Once a year our local Anglican Church has a rock and roll service lead by our Reverend, a music-and-God-loving man, on lead guitar (accompanied by drums, bass, keyboards, and vocals). This Anglican Church is not a swinging New Age temple but rather steeped in the ancient, staid rituals of liturgy and communion each Sunday (and no, this is not a call for converts). So this past Sunday's service was in some ways a surprising divergence yet in another way, even with an electric rendition of traditional music the service and sermon remained very grounded in what is right, good an

Are You a Price Maker or a Price Taker?
"How much do you charge?"The sweetest words to anyone who provides a service. You love to hear them, right?Unfortunately, if you're not convinced of the value of your services, they might dismay you, and if you're confused about the prices you charge you'll never make the money you could be making.Twenty-some years ago, my then-husband and I strolled through the glittering expanse of a new shopping mall doing some late-night shopping. Suddenly he grabbed his chest and collapsed.The ambulance arrived. They loaded him; I scrambled in behind.As the ambulance pulled away, a paramedic asked: "What happened?"When I told him he said dryly: "It's the prices they charge

To help your website traffic virus spread even faster, create some marketing material. At the very least, create a virtual eBook cover or virtual software box for the product. Use it yourself and include it with the product download. There are many companies on the Web that provide this service at a reasonable cost. There are also a number of software products available that allow you to create an unlimited number of ecovers.

You may also benefit from creating sample ads or even a mini-site sales page to promote your new viral marketing package. Use them yourself and include them with the product download so that people can easily promote your package.

Step 3: Start your viral marketing campaign by getting the product out on the Web in as many ways as possible.

Here are some ideas on how to start your viral marketing website traffic virus:

* Submit your eBook to directories of free eBooks.

* Offer your viral marketing eBook as a free bonus for new and current subscribers to your newsletter.

* Offer your viral marketing eBook as a free download to your website visitors.

* Offer your viral marketing eBook as a free download in your signature at the bottom of forum posts, emails, etc.

* Write articles related to your niche and your viral marketing eBook. Submit the articles to the many article directories around the Web. Do not directly promote yourself in the article. Instead, provide valuable content like you would want to read and include a link for readers to download your free eBook in the "resource box" or "about the author" box at the end of the article.

If you do a good job at step 1, you will have a viral marketing eBook that will appeal to your target market and that will drive massive website traffic to your site for years to come.

If you do a good job at step 2, people will spread the website traffic virus for you.

If you do a good job at step 3, the website traffic virus will begin.

Keep doing all of the suggestions in step 3 until you see the hits to the unique landing page you set up in step 1 start to grow exponentially. Then you will know that your viral marketing campaign has reached critical mass. Your website traffic virus will continue to grow and spread on its own because others are spreading it for you.<
