    Get Personal: Letters vs. Direct Mail
    One of the reasons direct mail works is the personal aspect. It’s ostensibly a letter from you to your prospect. Because of this, the more personal you make it, the better your response will be.If you’re mailing to 100,000 people, putting your prospect’s name on your letter is about as personal you can get. But there are times when you can – and should – send out highly personal letters to individual prospects.Say you sell gardening sup

    Managing Your Internet Business for Success
    There are people who insist that they work because they love what they do, and that may be true. But, stop paying them and how long will they continue loving it? Call me cynical, but I just do not buy it.I know I started my internet businesses with the aim of making a decent income (okay I wanted to make a killing, okay? Fine!) The only problem is, sometimes to make a killing you end up killing others financially and, depending on how far in d
    At this point I must refer to some of my own testing. Interested if the wording immediately prior to my opt in form was extremely important, I ran a test using my auto responder service, where I used 4 different opt in scripts, and had the auto responder rotate between the 4, and report to me the results of my test.

    The script I was testing was the following:

    Say Thank You With More Than Just Words
    Ever since childhood, our parents have always taught us the importance of proper manners. Respect your elders, no elbows on the dinner table, chew with your mouth closed and always remember to say “please” and “thank you.” Of all of these rules, “please” and “thank you” stick out as the most important. Think of how good it feels when someone thanks you for holding open a door. Not only does it show appreciation, it shows that person actually recogniz

    Internet Traffic
    Use of the Internet mushroomed over the last ten years, but as with any new innovation, there was bound to be a plateau. It would appear, this has been reached, as figures show that worldwide Internet traffic increased by only 49% in 2005, as opposed to 103% the year before. This slowing down includes Latin America and Asia, still the regions with the most increase. The rush to sign up to broadband, has declined, a situation that is reflected in the

    How To Build A Responsive List In Any Niche
    I want to talk to you a bit about building a responsive opt-in list. Building a list is a must, The money really is in the list.The best thing about building a targeted list is that they can cost virtually nothing to build, they are highly targeted, and will give you instant credibility with you customers.

    Inexpensive Poster Printing
    When we talk about posters, they are one of the best forms of advertising. Promoting anything is always more effective with its use. From announcements, personal purposes, campaigns and all the things associated to getting attention. Printing companies have a wide understanding with all the needs of its clients and also, with all the competition around, you can always get cheap deals off online poster printing.Common poster purposeThey

    Do you see what I was testing? Which of the 4 scripts do you think was the most effective? The least effective? If you are like me, you think that people will be more likely to opt in if I give them a guarantee that I will not sell their name, etc. You would also think that by offering a free ebook in addition to the ecourse, that more people would opt in.

    These are my results: 1) 15.4%

    2) 28.3%

    3) 28.0%

    4) 35.3%

    Now if you look back at what those percentages were for, you will see that the lowest percentage of opt ins was from the form that promised the most--no SPAM and an ebook. The highest percentage of response was that script that promised nothing---I don’t promise not to mail them SPAM, I don’t offer any extra incentive, nothing.

    Now, what does that mean? Let me just say that at the very least, it means that if you do not test, then you can not make adjustments to your campaigns that will bring you more subscribers and make you more effective.
