Free Information For Learning How to Build a Mailing List

Mailing list is the way to make money on the Internet! If you want recurring sales on line, over and over again the money is in the list. I'm sure your email in-box is just like mine. Full of 'Make money in 60 days and never work again', or 'Make money by almost doing nothing and the money will flow your way'.

There is just too much of this stuff on line today! Things have changed. People are getting smarter and no longer falling for this anymore which is good. The marketers that are peddling this still are going to be left behind and won't know what hit them.

This is a good thing! Maybe if people stop buying this junk there will be less scamper on line and we won't get all this plugging up our email box anymore...or at least not as much.

I was just like you. I had bought into this hype and spent more money on this then I would like to admit. It is very easy to get caught up into because you really want to start your own business so bad that you want to believe it.

I too struggled on line for a while. Spent valuable time trying to make these schemes work when they were doomed from the start because of bad information, or something that was rehashed so many times it no longer worked.

Well I'm here to tell you don't give up hope. I almost did, and if I would have I wouldn't have learned what I needed to make a real living on line. These are different times now and the old schemes are dead.

If you really truly want to have your own profit pulling machine, making money over and over again it can be accomplished. The money is in your mailing LIST! People don't buy the first time they meet you anymore. It takes time for them to court you for a while and get to know you.

Transfer Huge Files Online Fast And Free

If this problem hasn't hit you yet... it will.

With the ever-increasing popularity of sharing home-videos, mp3 audios, and other large files online, actually transferring those files to your customers, friends, and family presents a problem.

Most email systems limit the size of the files you can send, and often completely restrict some file types, such as .exe, from passing through their email servers.

Most computer geeks say, "Just ftp it to your server and I'll download it from the Web."

Unfortunately, that solution often proves too much of a hassle, and actually rates impossible for those without ftp access to a website and the knowledge to use it.

To solve this problem, a new breed of website file transfer service has emerged to help the technically or time-challenged masses share their huge files online.

** http://www.YouSendIt.com **

I discovered this website as most people discover new sites, I saw someone else using it.

A friend wanted to send me a 10MB "zip" file while he traveled from San Francisco to Boise.

He couldn't use his ftp program to upload it to the Web, and his ISP wouldn't let him send such a huge file.

So, he logged on to http://www.yousendit.com and completed a 4-step process.

(1) He entered my email address, (2) chose the file he wanted to send by browsing his hard drive, (3) entered his email and typed in a brief message, and (4) clicked the "send" button.

The service uploaded the file to the web and sent me an email message with a link to download the file from their website.

After I downloaded the file, I clicked a link to delete the file from their server.

If I didn't bother to click that link, the server would automatically delete the file after 7 days.

A few things make this service unique.

First, it allows you to send files without forcing you to register as a user; it's totally anonymous.

Second, it allows you to send up to a 1 gigabyte file.

This enables you to send virtually anything you can think of to anyone with an email address and Internet connection.

The site appears to make its money from advertising revenue generated by popup ads and Google AdSense (where they earn a commission every time someone clicks a link).

Third, like Hotmail.com did when first starting out, YouSendIt.com encourages message recipients to turn around and use the service to send files to their friends.

This "viral marketing" effect should help them spread the word quickly without a huge marketing budget.

** http://www.DropLoad.com **

DropLoad.com also enables users to send large files, though they restrict file sizes to 100 MB.

However, DropLoad.com offers one extra feature lacking in YouSendIt: delivery confirmation.

Dropload enables you to know when the person you sent the file to actually clicks the link to download the file.

This cuts down on the "I never got the file" claims and acts like the Post Office making them sign for registered mail.

You can't prove they read it, but you can prove they received it.

DropLoad.com does require you to register for a username and password, but the service is free.

Overall, both services do an excellent job of solving a growing problem for a huge audience worldwide.

Also, if you sell information products customers download from the Internet, the link expiration and confirmation features can come in handy (such as giving out free samples or preview copies to potential joint venture partners).

Great Summer Parties - 22 Hot Tips to Make Your Party the Hit of the Season

It's time for a great summer party. Maybe you're planning a big outdoor event, like a family reunion, garden wedding, or milestone birthday party. Or perhaps you've decided on the spur of the moment to invite a few friends over for a small get together. Here are some hot tips to turn your average summer party into a real blast.

1. Instead of balloons, hang inflatable beach balls.

2. Give each of your guests a little battery operated personal fan that you can get at the dollar store. It's a practical party favor that will come in handy if it's a very hot day.

3. No pool? Throw a sprinkler party. Tell your guests to bring their bathing suits for a run through the sprinkler. Provide water guns and water balloons for additional entertainment.

4. Rain in the forecast? Have an indoor picnic. Push the furniture to the side, put a checkered or gingham tablecloth on the floor, serve take out fried chicken, sandwiches and potato salad.

5. Use a beach pail to hold plastic utensils or napkins at your summer party. The plastic shovel makes a novel serving spoon.

6. Keep white Christmas lights handy all year. They look great strung around the patio, deck, trees, or around the table or doorway inside the house.

7. Try to have much more ice on hand than you think you'll need. And make sure you have lots and lots of beverages, especially frozen drinks and smoothies. Summer parties are the perfect time to try out some new recipes in the blender.

8. Use a wheelbarrow filled with ice. Add cans and bottles of your favorite drinks for a portable outdoor cooler.

9. Have a luau themed party. Decorate with grass skirts, plastic leis, etc. from a party supply story. Scatter seashells on the table. Hang colored lanterns. Play background Hawaiian music. Don't forget the pineapple and macadamia nuts.

10. If you don't have a backyard, have your summer party at the park, beach or even zoo.

11. Give each of your guests a dollar store beach pail as a party favor filled with summer stuff, like sunscreen, flip flops and a novel for summer reading. Add a homemade or professionally made personalized photo bookmark inside the novel that thanks your guests for coming to the party.

12. At night, light candles for atmosphere and Citronella candles to discourage bugs.

13. If you're having a pool or beach party, make sure you find a guest to volunteer as a designated lifeguard who is willing to give full attention to watching the kids in the water.

14. Have an ice cream party. Provide a selection of ice cream and sherbet flavors and let your guests add their own sundae and fresh fruit toppings.

15. Have extra sunscreen prominently displayed and available to any of your guests who may need it.

16. If you're doing the grilling, ask your guests to bring the salads and side dishes.

17. Have Christmas in July (or August). Put up your fiber-optic or pre-lit tree, play Christmas music, serve cookies.

18. Have a Mexican fiesta, complete with make your own tacos, salsa and chips (try some fruit salsas) and a pinata.

19. Some outdoor activities kids can enjoy at a party include a treasure hunt, blowing giant bubbles, water balloon toss, fishing for magnetic fish in a wading pool, ring toss in a wading pool, croquet, horseshoes, badminton, face painting, spin art, hide and seek.

20. Serve fresh, seasonal fruit in hallowed out melon or pineapple halves.

21. Take lots of photos at your summer party. Email a few of the best ones to all the guests who attended. Better yet, have custom made photo magnets made of a group photo or one of you and your family with a message thanking people for coming to the party. Then mail them out as a great remembrance to a special occasion.

22. Don't forget to toast some marshmallows!

How To Build A Swipe File

A swipe file is a collection of ads, headlines, sales letters, and other marketing materials. Every successful copywriter has a swipe file that they use for inspiration when they're hit with a case of writers block. If you're an aspiring copywriter yourself, you should start building your own swipe file too.

You can then use it as a study guide to learn more about the craft and as inspiration when you're stuck. But let me make it clear that you should NEVER just copy someone elses work. You can borrow ideas and learn from the structure and voices used by other copywriters. But copying an ad word for word is just stealing.

What should I include in my swipe file?

Start with your mail. Look at the sales letters, flyers, and postcards you receive every day. When something catches your interest and makes you reach for your wallet or your checkbook, put it aside. The same goes for advertisements from newspapers and magazines.

But how do you know if an ad is good at selling? A good rule of thumb is that if you see an ad repeated again and again, it's probably a good seller. All ads are tested to determine which ones sell and which do not. They're constantly tweaked and adjusted, and unprofitable ads are eliminated. So if you find an ad that has been running for some time, it's a good bet that it has already been tested and proven to be a winner.

How you store your swipe file is up to you. I like to laminate the ads and place them in a binder where they are safe and easy to pull out when needed.

Don't forget about ads and sales letters you read online. There are many excellent examples of copywriting available only online.

You can keep these organized and easy to find by saving them to a social bookmarking site such as del.icio.us.

Simply go to http://del.icio.us and create a free account. You can then save web pages to your favorites, and access them from anywhere.

It's a good idea to print these out and add them to your binder as well - for reference.

How to Lose Weight Quickly - And it Won't Cost a Cent

Do you regret having paid the annual membership at the local gym? Do you wish you could ever gather enough enthusiasm for actually using the pool in your neighborhood? Or maybe actually get up in the morning for that hour long stroll?

Most of us, sadly enough, lead ridiculously busy lifestyles. And that's not even an excuse - there literally isn't enough time in the day to fit in an hour for exercise. The trouble is, it doesn't go down well with your body, even if it does happen to be true. Your body needs the exercise, especially as the years roll by and there are a number of simple, free tips that if incorporated into your daily life will see you shed those extra pounds and start enjoying your life again.

Before reading on remember one thing-as we get older it is more difficult and perhaps understandable to find it more difficult to shift those extra pounds. Do not be too hard on yourself-this program is designed to work over a period of time by incorporation into your every day lifestyle.

All is not lost however - these five tips will go a long way towards giving you the daily exercise you need.

1) Climb those steps

Whether at home or in office, resist the temptation to jab at that elevator button. Take the stairs, day in and day out. It might seem like a chore in the beginning, but once you get into the groove, you'll find yourself actually wanting to climb the stairs every time. Give it a week or so, you'll see.

2) Don't delegate the household chores

Something as simple as folding laundry can help you out. Do it while watching TV, or vacuum the entire house. Clean the windows, make the bed, make dinner for the family (and clean up afterward!). Doing all these seemingly innocuous chores might not make you look like you've hit the gym - but they can form part of an effective lifestyle change which will lead to long term weight loss and increased fitness.

3) Wash the car

Don't simply drive the car through that car wash, get the bucket out and give her a scrub down at home. Not only does the car end up looking bright and shiny, but you manage to lose some calories in the bargain as well and be sure to make it a regular weekly job.

4) Walk the dog

Its great exercise for the dog, you save money on the dog walker and you lose calories in the bargain. And it doesn't have to be an hour long stroll either. Just a twenty minute saunter is more than enough.

5) Take out the garbage, fetch the mail

Small, simple tasks that you can easily incorporate into your every day life but they all add up at the end of the day. Do these tasks regularly enough, stick with the change and you'll soon see the benefits..and feel them.

None of these steps will make you look like the incredible hulk. But they are pointers towards a healthier lifestyle - and well begun, as they say, is half done!

Your E-mail and the Shift Key

With e-mail, how you are perceived is important to if your message, request or point of view will be taken seriously. A primary example is making just a little effort by hitting that darned shift key to capitalize the start of your sentences. Doing so can make all the difference in the world as to whether you will be perceived as someone who is to be taken in earnest.

Of course if you have arthritis or are impaired in some manner that makes it impossible for you to use the shift key, then it would behoove you to make a note stating as much at the top of your e-mail. All e-mailers need to understand that how they e-mail will be a reflect upon them. Perceptions are made whether we like it or not, so why not make the minimal effort to ensure we leave a favorable reaction?

We all learned basic sentence structure in grade school. Use it. There is not a single resource that I am aware of that negates the need to communicate in an educated and thoughtful manner when it comes to e-mail. When you do not capitalize your name or the beginning of sentences you are relaying several possible things about yourself:

1. I don't care if I am perceived as uneducated or...

2. I am uneducated or...

3. I am so lazy I can't hit the shift key when required.

None of the above is complimentary. Use your shift key. It is an effort well worth the positive impression doing so will leave.

Increase Your Free Time With a Spam Blocker

Will a spam filter help you free up time? I spend so much time weeding the spam out of my mailbox that it is unbelievable, or at least I did. It is an unfortunate fact that a good spam blocker is an absolute necessity with any computer that has email and internet access to it. Spam is simply unsolicited email that is usually a part of some sort of commercial advertising strategy. It is the email equivalent of junk mail and has been a part of email life for years now. You should really consider a good spam blocker because the truth is that spam presents a great deal more trouble than just the pain of weding out advertisements.

So why is spam such a problem? I mean do you really have to get a spam blocker? The answer is yes because spam eats up the electronic resources on your computer like memory and storage. Spam may also have viruses that can shut down your computer or your network if you have one. It can also contain scams that can trick some of the less savvy users of the internet and email. What a good spam blocker will do is stop the messages before they ever hit your inbox, thus saving you space, memory, and the threat of unsavory offers.

Another way a spam blocker will help you is in terms of your time. Even if the spam you receive does not contain viruses and really is just a series of advertisements, it takes a lot of time to delete and filter out all the spam in your inbox. If the email in question is one you use for work, then think how much more productive you can be with a spam blocker keeping you from having to read and delete a bunch of advertisements.

If you are a business owner, the same applies. Your employees will be much more productive if you get a good spam blocker put in with the email. It will save time in reading bad emails as well as help protect you from the threat of viruses or spyware. Spam is a problem and can really hold back a business as much as it can an individual, so give some consideration to getting a good spam blocker so that you can save your business time and money.

Spam has been around pretty much since the internet and email first became popular. It is difficult to define and recognize, but laws are still passed to help slow it down or stop it. The problem is that often times the spammers are ignoring such laws and sending their messages out anyway. All this means is that no matter how many laws or acts are passed, a good spam blocker is a necessity to keep your computer and to keep your email running smoothly. In addition, it will save you time and frustration every time you log on to check your email messages.
