Well, folks it's been a little while since we've written a note or two because we've been busy helping ordinary folks like you get their businesses off and running. Since we've last been together MSBI and their associates have been brainstorming, meeting, holding conference calls, giving away websites and most of all LEARNING! Learning new techniques about how to market and looking forward to coming back to our fellow bloggers and letting you know what we things we found out.
Knowing that many of our bloggers/fellow marketers are on tight budgets we decided to start looking for some of the most cost effective methods to help get us going. We helped one client get his powerpoint presentation up and running so that when someone called about utilizing his service or asked what he does, now he can email our his powerpoint and start getting feedback before he pours over his website.

FREE web design

COUPONS: Who'd a Thunk It!
Did you ever wonder why coupons are so popular?
Have you ever used them?
In marketing they are used to get the word out about a product. You know, EXPOSURE!
In sales they are used as a way to get you to buy something that you may not necessarily buy or would otherwise wait until it became a price you want. You know, BEST OFFER!
In advertising they are used to track sales. We all know how TRACKING OUR TRAFFIC is key to our efforts that support how much we spend and where.
In other words, they put the ad in the circular, you see it and think it's a good deal. They've added a bar code so that when or if you decide to use it then they will know where you used it, when you used it and often from what circular you pulled the coupon from. GENIUS!
So, has this got you thinking of using coupons along with your ads?
I know I have and I've even started printing my coupons on the back of my business cards so that others can receive the benefit of handing my card to someone else as well.
Would love to hear your feedback!

Claude Hopkins The Father of Scientific Advertising
Good Day Everyone!
Maybe you've heard of him or maybe not, but I want to shed some light on this man who has and continues to inspire some of the best men and women in the world of advertising, marketing and sales.
Claude Hopkins became one of the most important men to uncover the understanding that advertising is in fact a science. Written during the 1920's, his book, "Scientific Advertising" revolutionized how salesmen at the time appealed to their customers.
Now, it may not be important to note, but as America was in the throes of the "INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION" when he was born it stands true that the countless men and women who became outstanding in the field of sales would adopt his thinking in order to take the world by storm with American made products.
An economically robust America meant competition and he, Claude Hopkins, being the father of the thought of advertising as a science would transform American business.
It wasn't until this man got his readers to get into the customer's mind and relate to their thinking by telling the stories of their companies were they able to outsell their competition. It is a theme that exists until today.
In short, he got us thinking more about telling how much our products and services will benefit our clients and customers and then relating to them with what we have.
I would suggest that we all take a look at his work:

Optimizing Your Marketing Efforts
There are tons of internet marketers around the world that are selling one thing or another to eager people either just looking and read their sales pitch and decided to buy or people who were already searching for that product/service and put their information on the site for the marketer to send them what they purchased.
It's no secret that what this blog was designed for was to motivate, connect, share, build a list and furthermore MARKET to an existing group of predetermined folks reaching over the internet for their healthy helping of online profits.
Optimizing is what we call in marketing getting to the front of the line! We want people to see us and get to know us for our niche which in turn will put them in our marketing system. As long as we put ourselves in front of them on a consistent basis, then we are in the optimization phase of our efforts.
One clear way to start out is with your pre-existing tools. Many of us have email addresses that we reach out to others with. Well, now that you are in business why not put an automated signature at the end of your emails so that each time you send an email those whom you reach out to will know you and your business up front.
If you have a website that's even better because you can add this address to your emails and I'll even send you instructions on how to imbed the code into your website so that you don't have to keep putting http://www.????. Instead you can create links without making your prospects have to put your address in their search box.
There's an already marked territory for you to begin. Your next task is to boost your presence to people that you don't already know.....

So You Think Marketing Has Nothing To Do With You
I was on the phone the other day with an associate who said that she just wasn't a salesperson. I was in shock because ever since the day we began speaking to one another at a TOASTMASTER'S meeting I just automatically figured her to be this outstanding personality who could probably sell ice to penguins.
In any case, as the conversation progressed into this "well what do you think selling is?" I then began to realize that our ideas of selling were totally different and that although we were doing the same thing we were of different minds.
She let me know that she had to believe in herself and not just the product because that takes a person from helping to just surviving because at the end of every conversation with a prospect you (the seller) are thinking "I've got to sell this person so that I can meet my quota". I started listening even more intensely because I wanted to know the difference. I mean helping people and receiving some form of compensation so that you can survive financially is ultimately the name of the game. Of course you know she begged to differ.
By the end of our conversation I was thoroughly convinced that although we thought quite differently on this subject I had a new perspective on what I do.
The philosophy in selling is to get a solid understanding of yourself to go out there and help other people see from their perspective how your product or service could be beneficial to them. Don't just pick a product or service to "sell", but believe enough in yourself to go out there and make a living helping others achieve their end results because you are going to reap the benefit if you help enough of them.
See yourself as a helper or in some cases healer. Get into their shoes and the best way to do this is by talking to them and finding out what their needs are. Now I know some of the readers will say, "but I don't have time to sit and listen to their story because I have a bottomline to reach every month!" That's why there are lead systems that are developed like social and business networking sites, meetings, article marketing and paid referral ideas. If you help one person in the right way, they will be your door to others. THIS IS CALLED MARKETING!
Marketing is the prep work that Selling borrows from in the end. When all is said and done you've got to believe in you and then your product or service keeping in mind that helping people achieve their end result with what you have will reap you massive benefits....
