Keeping Everything In The Right Place

Storage units and warehouses are big business as many people are increasingly unwilling to get rid of anything. This is especially true with many businesses that are confused by record retention requirements for a variety of records. Some income tax and business tax forms are required to be kept for seven years and some personnel files may need to be kept forever. What does a business do with all of these records?

If any documentation produced by a company is not covered under a state or federal law, the company should have its own policy in regards to how long the records may be useful and specific information in the policy as to when the records are to be destroyed. In many cases, this will create a space problem for many businesses and they are uncomfortable about putting boxes of important documents in their basement or garage.  A basement or garage is not the best place to store these documents anyway and certainly not the safest choice that can be made.

For those businesses without electronic storage of their documentations, they will probably need to find a place in which all the important papers can be maintained safely and securely. Storage warehouses can be quite useful to many businesses provided they can promise to damage due to weather, insects, rodents or other customers. Security will be the prime consideration when a business needs storage space, but making sure they papers are not eaten by other visitors in the building will also be a must.

Storage facilities are also useful for individuals who may receive a temporary job assignment for a year or more, and have to move from their house or apartment while they are gone. They do not want to sell everything they own and instead will look for a place in which it can be stored for the duration of their trip. Temperature-controlled facilities are available at higher prices that those without heat or humidity control, but they are often more in demand. This is also true for the parent who has a child with things that are needed for six months to a year and then not needed until the next child comes along.

Think about the homeowner who just bought a second car and has place to keep their riding lawnmower during the winter. Perhaps a little extra service of offering to pick up large items at the home and take them to you storage facility for them will attract new business. Not everyone has a truck to move larger items and may not be willing or able to pay to rent one. Offering the option of free pick up in exchange for a storage contract for a set number of months, will entice more people to use your services.

Electronic records require very little space in a warehouse or a garage, but can quickly fill a computer’s hard drive. A server can be used by different companies, provided there are measures in place to prevent one customer from accessing the information for another one. They can deliver by file transfer and recall the information when needed, and several companies can make buying a large server more cost efficient.

Keep Your Eye On The Prize

“You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn’t mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Many home-based businesses begin with a very specific goal in mind. The destination is firmly fixed in the minds of the entrepreneur. However that goal is rarely realized in an ‘overnight success’ fashion.

When an entrepreneur discovers this they can either give up or they might diversify to find a means of paying the bills. Most chose the latter option.

The difficulty comes when the original goal is sacrificed for the expediency of cash flow. It is normal for home-based businesses to diversify their offerings in order to derive an ongoing income. By shifting the focus away from the original vision the business will likely see a diminished capacity for ‘vision’ growth. The reason this is true is you will be pulled in so many different directions it will become almost impossibly to find the time to concentrate on fulfilling the original vision.

“Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.” – Zig Ziglar

Even in early home-based business startups it is important to dedicate a portion of every day to the development of your original dream. Yes, it is likely you will need to accept other opportunities that will help you weather the storms of the initial startup phase of your business venture.

Too often the dream is sacrificed on the altar of practicality. Practicality becomes the means of a making a living. Making a living is what you did before you started your home-based business.

“I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything.. at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.” – Dan Millman

In the Rankin/Bass Christmas feature “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” we see the Winter Warlock learn that he could have a different future by placing one foot in front of the other. It is the same step-by-step action that results in the realization of a home-based business dream. Keep walking – change is coming.

“Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.” Denis Waitley

Keep Clean Mailing List & Increase Subscriber Response Rate

Have you ever measured what response rate you get from your email campaigns? Didn’t you notice that a small mailing list can give you a high response and a huge list can get a very, very low response rate? That is because it’s not the number of emails on your list but the quality of the list that does really matter.

Although sending out magazines and newsletters to millions of addresses through bulk email software is free, you cannot afford to risk your fair name by offending people. Your email address lists should only contain those that signify they want to receive email from you. Otherwise, your unsolicited advertising will be classified as spam mail. Plus, the cleaner your list is, more profits you will get.

Here are some tips how to maintain your mailing list clean and up-to-date:

1. Verify your targeted email list for bad and undeliverable email addresses before you send to it. You can use email validation software to do a list check. You can just search the Internet for an email address verifier tool to choose the one that suits your needs best.

2. Exclude bad email addresses from your list.

3. Manage bounces thoroughly. Not all bounced emails should be deleted from your list. Delete hard bounces. Hard bounce is when recipient mail server rejects your email. Soft bounce is when your email accepted by recipient’s mail server but bounced back because of reasons like mail box is full, your message is large than receiving mail server upper limit etc. Try to send the messages a few times to soft bounced email addresses before you delete them. There is chance that the message will be delivered after several attempts.

4. Use double opt-in subscription method. This way you can make sure that the email address is valid and that the subscriber really wants to receive mail from you.

5. Delete unsubscribers. Always provide an easy way to unsubscribe. Before sending an email campaign, do a search for people who unsubscribed and delete them from your database.

6. Provide an option for subscribers to change their email address. Some list management software or services provide a link to your subscriber details and lists he opted for. From there your subscribers can change their email addresses and update their profiles.

7. Don’t buy email lists. Most email addresses on those lists are collected by website email extractors and belong to people who didn’t hear about you and don’t expect any mail from you.

8. Avoid spelling errors. If you manually import your subscribers from your old list manager to the new one or from your helpdesk to your mailing list manager etc, be careful to type the email addresses in the right way.

9. Try to avoid free email accounts. It’s a little hard to do though because nowadays people often use a free email account like hotmail.com, yahoo.com although they have their own domains. This is because they don’t want to reveal themselves or they might be afraid that the owner of the list might send junk or spam to them.

Joel Comm Is Dr. Adsense

What is Adsense?

If you are new to making money online and net marketing, you may not know what Adsense is, much less have heard of Joel Comm. Adsense is the “Ads by Google” that appear all over millions of webpages around the net. In the past, Adsense has proved itself to be very profitable, so much so that thousands of people set up websites purely in order to have Adsense on them. In turn, these “spam” sites created a big mess for the search engines and were “slapped” down by changes in the search-engine algorithms. Many of these “black hat” sites ceased to be profitable, while the “white hat” sites have largely endured, albeit many of them experiencing a decrease in income.

The individuals who put Adsense on their websites are called “publishers,” one of the more successful of whom is Joel Comm. Comm has not only made a fortune publishing Adsense, but he has also written books on the subject that have become bestsellers online and off. Comm has also created a series of Adsense template websites for others to make money off Adsense. Because of these facts, Joel Comm is nicknamed “Dr. Adsense.” One of Joel’s books is called “What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense,” 199-page behemoth chockfull of techniques and tips. Comm leaves almost no stone unturned in this book, which was updated in 2006. In fact, this “Adsense Secrets” book is so thorough as to be a bit plodding, but there’s no question Joel lays down a solid blueprint as to how you can create or increase your Adsense income.

Even with all the material laying the foundation for a shot at a solid Adsense income – or, possibly, much more than that – one gets the feeling that Comm is slyly holding back some secrets. One of the major things that Comm is good at is creating popular sites, and, as is the case with all business, the more customers or “traffic” you have, the more you will make. One thing is clear: You can no longer create a bunch of low quality sites purely for the purpose of sticking up some ads to make money. With the “Google Slap” directed specifically at that type of site, you will have difficulty getting enough traffic – and the advertisers are generally paying less for “content” sites in any case. Content sites are those published by people and companies other than search engines, as opposed to search-network sites such as Google and AOL, among others.

What Joel Comm outlines in “Making Money with Adsense” will take a while to implement, but it is not impossible to make money with Adsense, even with the developments and shakeups of 2006. If you want to just cut to the chase in making money with Adsense and learning it from one competent source, Joel Comm’s book revealing Adsense secrets is one of the best places to start.

It’s Time To Set Up A Direct Mail Strategy For Your Business

Small businesses are very tightly squeezed for cash flow, but we know that we need to get our messages out there if we want to grow and find new customers. As each of our businesses grow, we know that most of our customers and clients will come as a results of word of mouth advertising. However, we also know that we need to implement a direct mail strategy to help us expand our reach.

It’s Goodbye To Google

You read that right.

I’ve told Google to push off.

Stop spidering me.

I no longer want my online business to depend on its ever changing whims as to what makes a good or bad ranking.

I don’t want to spend time collecting thousands of backward links then find that they are probably worthless
because the anchor text does not contain a suitable keyword, or the site does not have sufficient page rank,
or whatever the latest algorithm is.

I don’t want to buy expensive cloaking tools and run the risk of penalization.

I don’t want to be bothered about whether a domain has a static or dynamic IP address or have to use different
hosts to make a network of minisites.

What’s that you say ? You don’t need fancy tricks – just provide good relevant content.

My answer ?

Nonsense.

I have a huge content site devoted solely to ClickBank, the only one of its kind.

If you wanted to find the most relevant content for a search on the keyword ‘ClickBank’ don’t you think that would be at the top ?

Well Google used to agree with you.

It was ranked number 2, with only ClickBank.com itself at number one.

Today it is ranked … wait for it … number 426.

It is beaten out of sight by sites which have nothing to do with ClickBank but happen to mention that keyword once.

I asked a search engine expert about this and he suggested that it was due to keyword density, in other words too many mentions of the word ClickBank.

Well that has to be the case – the site is after all a ‘Complete Guide to ClickBank’

His advice – try replacing the word ClickBank occasionally e.g. use ‘CB’.

No way.

That was the last straw and became the inspiration for me to develop a revolutionary approach to getting traffic.

It led to me being called ‘The Guru who said goodbye to  Google’ in the marketing forums.

And this new approach ?

It uses some of the fundamental pillars of Internet marketing that you already know – techniques which will never become obsolete.

But they are combined together in a new way and with a viral twist that you won’t have seen before.

It includes giving out free information in a certain way and I show you how exactly in my book, The Ultimate SuperTip.

And just to illustrate the principle:  the book is free and you can reproduce this article and change the URL to point to your own rebranded version.   For more information go to http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?50558 and read the 31-page FREE ebook that’s Sweeping the Internet!
