One is that it must be designed for a niche and the other is that is must solve a problem that your niche wants solved. Though I may be stating the obvious, many times we create what we think our niche NEEDS instead of what it WANTS. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=52524 2007-05-23 Over time, I've figured out how to get the most important things done while still being able to focus the majority of my time on my family (after all, that's one of the reasons why I went into business for myself in the first place).

One is because it's one of the most expensive tasks to outsource and the other is that no one knows your business better than you. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=46948 2007-04-16 One of the most effective ways of getting people to discover and try your products or services is by offering a Free Taste - which is just that, a taste of what it is that you offer. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=46949 2007-04-16 On two different teleseminars this week, the same question was asked: "Where do I start? With an ezine, a website, a blog, or what?" The answer is - it depends. It depends on where you are at in your business building efforts. But after hearing this question asked often enough, I think there's something else going on ~ a request for a simple way to understand how all the pieces fit together. So, here goes: http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=45013 2007-03-31 Ever sit down to write an article for your ezine and be at a loss as to what to say?

Fortunately, there are many ways to drive high-quality traffic to your website for little to no cost.

To be honest, I'm not exactly a fan of resolutions - really, what's so different about December 31 than January 1 that's going to make a dramatic difference in whether or not you keep your resolutions? If you just have a list of things you'd like to accomplish, well, the answer is 'not much'. But if you have a PLAN to go along with your list, well, that can make ALL the difference. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40061 2007-02-26 I have a question for you: When someone signs up to receive your ezine or other Free Taste of what it is that you're offering, where do they end up? http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40062 2007-02-26 Measuring the results of your business activities is critical to your success, and anyone can do it (it's really one of those "if I can, anyone can" kind of things). I really want to encourage you to take a look at where you've been over the past 6-12 months, analyze that data, and make some strategic decisions about where you want to focus your efforts going forward to get where you want to be. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40063 2007-02-26 If you're running an online business, you know that your list is your most important asset. And regardless of whether you're just starting out or not, if you lose a chunk of your subscribers because even just one of your emails gets flagged as spam, it's going to hurt your business. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40064 2007-02-26 Writing valuable content-rich articles for your target market and submitting them to article directories and other publishers is one of the best ways to market your business, become known as an expert in your field, and add subscribers to your list. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40065 2007-02-26 One of the biggest shifts that came for me in building my own successful business was learning about - and implementing - what I call my Marketing & Product Funnel. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40066 2007-02-26 You may be afraid to choose a niche for fear that you may limiting your business if you narrow your niche down too much, but that simply isn't true. You are not going to cut yourself off from other opportunities, or limit your success by only focusing on a small segment of the population. The opposite is actually true. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40067 2007-02-26 If you're reading this ezine, it's likely that you've participated in a teleseminar, whether it be mine or one of my colleagues. You've probably been on some that have been very good, where you got tons of really valuable information. And you may have found yourself on a few that were nothing but pitch-fests for the host's lastest product. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=40068 2007-02-26
