Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?

Don't let fear of the recession guide your goal setting plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake...!

Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term survival.

When you're in "fight or flight" mode, you're not thinking clearly about the path you're running... You're just RUNNING!

So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight.

I want you to do more than just survive 2009.

Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in the coming year, a significant 14% increase -- despite the
recession!

Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their computers for everything from bargain hunting and product
research to upgrading skills.

Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway...!

I don't want the Big "R" to stop you from pursuing exciting personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I've
arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important video that Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl just put up
on his site.

Derek's been successfully selling on the Internet for over a decade now, and he's brought in over $100 MILLION in sales...

... so he's by far the BEST person to advise you about how to thrive in ANY market.

When you watch his FREE Goal Setting Video, you'll discover how you can make 2009 your richest year yet:

Year's goals with a bang.

One of the things you might think about when selecting a niche, a product or a price point is, "How much does my
customer have to spend?" Never underestimate the fatness of a wallet or depths of a purse. There are customers
dedicated to spending top dollar for luxury consumer goods. There are businesses that need premium solutions to nagging
problems. In other words, there are rich buyers out there that need to spend a lot of money. Make sure you don't
neglect them!

This can be a hard lesson to learn, especially for the person who wants to try Internet Marketing as a way to make
a few extra dollars every month. It's just beyond the imagination of a person who's always running out of money
before running out of month! If you're broke, don't assume that your best customers will be, too. Try thinking in
terms of having plenty of money and wanting to use it to get more leisure and luxury.

Perhaps the best place for a hard-working neophyte to start making money online is to do all the really nasty, boring,
mind-numbing chores that a rich person doesn't want to do. By offering products or services that automate chores or
allow you to directly serve someone's needs on a regular basis, you can make a very good living. All you have to do
is list all the things you'd pay someone else to do, if money was no problem. Then go see who's offering goods and
services like that online and figure out a way to do the same, with your own Unique Selling Point.

Luxury goods are another way to really make a nice profit on just a few sales. Designer sunglasses that sell for more
than a thousand dollars a pair are more attractive to sell than more than 100 pairs of $10 sunglasses. You may think
that paying all that money just for sunglasses is crazy. So what? Isn't it more important to think in terms of what
your customer wants?

Now think about all the businesses out there that need goods or services. They're making a profit, they have a
budget to spend - and you could be their "go to" source for whatever they may need. All you have to do is identify the
really expensive things they use, use up and have to replace. How hard can that be?

This "rich market" is a fairly small percentage, compared to all the buyers online. The thing is, they spend almost
three times the percentage of money that regular consumers spend. This segment is growing faster and faster, and is
hungry for more. It's up to you to put yourself in front of this avalanche of money and get your share!

The idea here is to fix your thinking. If you think you have a money problem, you're wrong. You have a thinking
problem when it comes to money. You might not be able to imagine the kind of income you could earn if you just
allow yourself to envision big spenders as your customers.
Try it, you'll like it!

Once you realize that nobody can see how broke you are, because you're hidden behind a Web site, blog or
discussion forum identity, you'll start to loosen up and treat these well-to-do people as if they are like everyone
else. You won't be afraid of them at all. You'll just give them what they want and they'll send you lots and lots of
money! After all, you'll have made yourself valuable to them. Isn't that worth thinking about, instead of how broke
you are?

Yours in profits,

 The new Blogging Community, or Social Network, is another important extension of Bloghology. However, it is significantly more interactive, to reflect the community nature of blogging and the softer, web2.0 style of marketing. It functions and looks similar in many ways, to today's popular social networking sites such as Facebook. However, the Bloghology Community Platform is unique in that it provides additional features and functions which are special to bloggers and blogging related issues.

It is here that you can adopt the softer approach to marketing your company and products/services. When joining the Bloghology Community Network, there is a clear ability to define 'who' you are, as a blogger and/or a 'company' to increase transparency and visibility. Introduce yourself, your personnel and genuinely interact and converse with prospective customers. Demonstrate your ability to provide great products and services to benefit bloggers. You are there to help, to create a growing Network of Friendships and Contacts. Possibly create ventures with other like-minded companies in providing solutions online.

More trust and recognition of your company brand, within an established social network provides greater incentive for readers and bloggers to view and accept your products. This can provide greater peace of mind and easier marketing, by reducing the need for your company to establish its own trustworthiness and promotional platforms.

In Essence

• Share detailed information about your products and services with potential sales prospects and partners

• More direct and select (or traditional style) advertising spaces will also be available to your company, for bloggers to view, when in need of solutions.

All the available Applications that we have on Bloghology Social can be viewed online (soon we will have another 100 applications targeted to Bloggers and Merchants for simplifying their Daily Blogging Success)

Sample Profile Page URL:
http://community.bloghology.org/markschwartz/

Grow a Network of Friends as other members get to know you. Interact, demonstrate trust, and highlight how your company can genuinely help in providing solutions to bloggers and marketers with your products and services

By joining, you can create an online and highly visible 'profile' for your company and/or employees, including contact information, thus making it easier for customers to reach you

As a blogging product developer I have the privilege of providing support to well over two thousand customers over last 2 years. I have had the PRIVILEGE of assisting all of the bloggers who purchased my product, read my blog, subscribe to my eZine and based on that experience I can clearly outline 2 Biggest Problems 99.9% of the bloggers deal with:

1.  Profitable Niche Research
2.  Quality Content Creation

Solution: http://www.rapid-action.com/expert-content/

In fact I can tell you with an absolute certainty that Niche research is the biggest obstacle that keeps the majority of the people from becoming profitable bloggers and those who master the skill of doing proper Niche research manage to pull massive amounts of income from their blogs.

But even they will tell you that researching and locating those small but profitable markets can be quite a daunting and boring task that consumes godless amounts of time and even then doesn't guarantee success. Time many of us simply don't have.


If and when you do manage to locate the Niche that looks extremely promising - you still have to come up with unique content for that Niche.  Of course you can perform the research and even outsource the writing, but be prepared to pay, and it will NOT be cheap!   Either way - be ready to work or pay, choice is yours.

What is the solution you ask?  Expert Content:

Sincerely,
 

So you want to make money selling good or services? That's good. But you need customers to make money, right? It's obvious. It should be equally obvious that if you have a happy customer then that person will want to do business with you again. And the odds are that the person will tell someone else how great you were to do business with.

However, if you treat a customer poorly over one little conflict or request then that person will probably never do business with you again and you can bet that person will tell a few others how horrible you are to do business with.

So when we look at how to keep customers, the place to start is with treating all of your customers like gold.

Treat Your Customers Well - Always!

You should treat all of your customers nicely all of the time. There is no exception to this rule. These are the people who give you money, without them you would not make any money. Always remember this!

Now, there will be sometimes when you don't feel like being nice. Some people are jerks and there's no doubt you'll run into more than your fair share of jerks. These include people who demand too much of you, people who accuse you of trying to cheat them, and people who just don't seem to understand what you try to tell them. It also includes people who think that the world owes them big-time, and the world includes you.

First try to be the great business owner and do everything within reason to try to make every single person happy. However, if it gets to a point where you simply can't continue helping someone because they are just impossible, then move on. It will happen. Just make sure you are polite and respectful no matter what the customer might say to you.

Over-Deliver

It's amazing how customer problems drop dramatically when you over-deliver to your customers. For example, you promise your customers a bonus gift if they buy a specific product. They buy the product and you give them three bonus gifts. That's over-delivering. Always do it. You'll be building unbelievable customer loyalty and you'll also cut down on most of your customer problems before they even happen.

Follow-Up

Following-up with your customers is a great marketing move to retain customers, yet most people just don't do it. All it takes is a quick email and nothing more.

A few days after someone buys something from you just send them a brief email thanking them for the sale and then ask them if everything is going okay and if they have any questions for you. Remind them that you are there for them and then say another thanks and end the email. Do not try to sell them anything else, not then. You can send another email a week later, but make sure you first send one email that's just a 'thank you'.

So those are three key tips to keeping customer. You need to always be nice to your customers, you should over deliver with all your products, and you should always follow-up on your sales. If you do these three things, you'll find that you have many loyal customers.

An easy and automatic way to follow up with your customers is by using an autoresponder service.

I use and recommend Aweber.
