Build A Successful Business By Staying Connected
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.JaimeParmis.com

Over the course of your business life you’ll come in contact with a
number of other business people. They could be lawyers, business
services, suppliers, customers, etc. These people are important to your
business in more ways than one. If you hired them or they bought your
product or service, you can also gain their business knowledge,
experience, ideas, and advice. How do you do this? Stay Connected!
Network! Networking is when two or more different businesses stay in
contact on a regular basis to build and improve each others business.

Consider all the benefits you’ll gain from talking to other business
people:

Knowledge or information that you didn’t have before
Advice on how to solve a current business problem
Leads to a new business project or opportunity
Joint ventures and cross promotion deals
Learn important skills that you didn’t have before
Constructive criticism that improved your business
Brainstorming that sparks a profitable business idea
Encouraging and motivational statements

There are many ways to meet business people. Join business clubs and
associations. Participate in on-line business-related forums, e-mail
discussion groups, and chat rooms. Go to business expos and trade shows.
Use your creativity to come up with even more ideas.

If you have the time, start your own networking group. You could hold
meetings at a local seminar room, at a park , or at your own business
building. If you want to hold meetings on-line use a private chat room.
Publish a print or e-mail newsletter to keep members informed of meeting
time and dates.

Keep all your business associates’ contact information all in one
place. Have it organized by business type or profession for easy
finding. So when you need some advice on a new marketing campaign you
can call that marketing expert you met at that trade show in Ohio a
couple of weeks ago.

Networking is a surefire way to build a successful business. I have
used it countless times and will continue too. I have also met a lot of
business people who are now some of my closest friends.

Unleash The Power Of Perpetual Marketing
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

I describe perpetual marketing as a large number of
people promoting one web site so they can all receive
the traffic generated by each other.

For example, you decide to create a free ebook that
you will give away to your web site visitors. You ask
a large number of e-zine owners to give away the
ebook in exchange for their ad in the ebook. You can
just ask them to link directly to your web site when
they promote the ebook. You, of course, will have
one of your own ads on that web page.

Let’s say you get 8 out of 20 e-zine owners that agree
to giveaway the ebook. The 8 e-zines total subscriber
base is 75,000.

Now, you can ask more e-zine owners if they would
like to promote the ebook in exchange for an ad inside
the ebook. This time you can say, you already have 8
e-zines already promoting the ebook with a subscriber
base of 75,000.

The next group of e-zine owners you ask will be more
tempted to promote your ebook because there is a
greater chance they will receive a lot of traffic from
the deal. It’s win/win situation!

Do you understand the power of perpetual marketing?
You could have 20 or 30 e-zines promoting your web
site at no-cost, very quickly! You could create a new,
free ebook every month and repeat the process.

This isn’t the only way to use perpetual marketing.
You don’t just have to contact e-zine publishers you
could do the same with web site owners. You could
use a total monthly visitor total as motivation.

It doesn’t have to be just an ebook either. It could be
a contest you’re holding on your web site. You could
place the other web site’s ads on the contest page in
exchange for them promoting the contest.

These are only a few ways to use perpetual marketing.
You could use your own imagination to create new
ways to use perpetual marketing that will increase your
traffic and sales.

Online Discussion Board Advertising
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

Posting messages on online discussion boards is a great way to
get free advertising. When you post a message include your
signature file at the end. Your signature file should be no more
than 5 to 6 lines. Include an attention-getting sentence why
they should visit your web site or e-mail your auto responder.

Some online discussion boards allow you to leave text and
graphic links at the end of your messages. You will get a better
click-through rate with links than just a normal signature file.

Below are three types of messages you could post to online
discussion boards:

1. Informative Comments
Post information that would be informative to the people who
participate on the discussion board. It could be an article or a
study you’ve completed.

2. Ask Questions
Post a question on the discussion board you would like answered.
This will give you a chance to meet other experts and it could
lead to a profitable joint venture.

3. Answer Questions
Post the answer to another person’s question on the discussion
board. When you answer questions you will get known as an
expert on the subject.

Before posting to any online discussion board read the FAQ or
rules first. They will tell you what kinds of posts are allowed.
Read the board for a few days before posting your message to
see what type of messages are being posted. Never post
messages on a board that are unrelated to the subject.

How To Use Database Marketing To
Skyrocket Your Online Profits
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

Database Marketing is the gathering and storing of specific information
about your prospects or customers
. This information is usually stored in
a database program on your computer. You would then use the information
to market and advertise to them. It can save you time and money because
you can target your promotional efforts to your best prospects or
customers.

The Types Of Information To Collect

The information will vary depending on the product or service you’re
selling. If you’re selling a product that costs $2 you wouldn’t collect
information about their yearly income. If you’re selling web space you
wouldn’t collect information about what type of books they read. The
basic information you need would be all their contact information,
purchase history, and birthday. You will need to decide what other
information would benefit your business.

How To Collect This Information Online

It’s pretty easy to collect this information online but the hard part is
getting people to give it you. The best way to collect this information
is to give them something FREE in return. Ask them to fill out an e-mail
survey before subscribing to your free e-zine. Tell everyone who visits
your web site they will get a free e-book when they fill out your online
questionnaire form. Ask them this information before they sign up for a
free contest at your web site. Sometimes you have to give a little
something to get a little information online.

Beneficial Uses For Your Database

Find out your customers purchasing habits. Use the information to
improve the design of your web site. Use it to write all your
advertising material more persuasively.

Find out the things they like or dislike about your business. Use the
information to target your best prospects.

Find out how much money your prospects or customers make. Use it to
improve your customer service.

Find out what new products or services they need or want. Use it to test
ideas before launching a total sales campaign.

Find out how to your improve your existing products or services. Use it
to build your customer loyalty.

Find out which benefits or features they like most about your products
or services. Use it to send electronic greeting cards on holidays or on
your customer’s birthdays.

The list of beneficial uses are endless. Do you see the importance of
collecting this information? The Internet makes the process of
collecting this information quicker and cheaper than offline methods.
Take advantage of database marketing and watch your online profits
skyrocket.

Quote of the Day:

“Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the
authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love,
and don’t be caught in opinions and ideas about what love
is or should be. When you love, everything will come right.
Love has its own action. Love, and you will know the
blessings of it. Keep away from the authority who tells you
what love is and what it is not. No authority knows and he
who knows cannot tell. Love, and there is understanding.”
– Krishnamurti
