How to attain a healthy work-life balance.

Posted December 31st, 2006. Filed under Self Development

A recent survey in Singapore reveals that one of the greatest wish for 2007 is to attain a more pronounced work-life balance in life. This is not surprising when you take into consideration other findings like people are generally working harder, becoming more mobile, sleeping less, making less love, having less children and even getting divorced. The problem is that productivity at work does not translate into impactful results. More of us are getting more busy and worried over ‘chores’ like missing out on e-mails and phone calls. We interact more often through using technology and tools, but we definitely fail to communicate better, heart to heart, on the relationship front.

To tell the truth, according to Dr. Robert Anthony, money has always been the no. 1 factor that affects the way people live their lives. They mold their lifestyles after it, not before it, therefore they become servants of it by handing the power of control to it.

On the other hand, there are a few folks who charge much, much more for their work or consultation in an hour than what 95% of the world’s population currently earn in a month. A joke goes around that Bill Gates’ wealth equates to the GDP of Peru. A statistic I come across puts him at earning $300 per second…

For that rate of earnings, is Bill the most stressful worker in the world? :)

But this question is not for you to answer. The question is: What do you really LOVE to do, and will do it so well that you can get paid for it?

How times have changed. Only 4 years ago, most Singaporeans looked down and rated poorly any kind of vocation related to the arts as one with no financial (read: lucrative) future. Today, we have the Esplanade By The Bay, a premise right in the city for the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and a burgeoning arts scene. Even computer gaming is becoming serious business in Singapore as we send our best teams of young people to compete in regional tournaments for cash prizes.

People who love to sing and dance, play computer games or blog all day are now given a chance at earning wages, but they have a secret most people don’t know. How are you going to marry the love for your work with the love for your life? When does work become play and become $$$ too?

Perhaps you may deduce that when all the things you care most come integrated together, you would have achieved a complete fullness of life. This is an ideal of course, a holy grail that is impossible to achieve. There is never a sense of closure throughout life as challenges persist.

Let’s start with an idea. Dora Yip has one. Good for her.

When she was a principal consultant and partner in a public relations company last year, she couldn’t stop thinking about work. Even as she sat watching a movie, her mind would dwell on work matters.

Coming to the end of 2006, she could finally look back and say she is satisfied with her everyday life. Apart from welcoming a nephew into the world, the highlight of the year was moving to the non-profit sector in November 2006. It was a huge decision to leave her own company, yet it was the best one yet, for being a corporate communications manager at the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Center (NVPC) has brought about meaningful work to her.

While living in New Zealand with her husband David, Dora spent 3 years volunteering as a refugee support worker. She counted this as among her most satisfying experiences because it directly helped society. It was what she wanted to do full-time.

If not for life coaching, she reckoned she would have taken more time floundering towards her decision to switch lines.

Said Dora: “A lot of people think life coaching is a scary thing, but really, it’s just having someone professional act as a personal sounding board to help you clarify your goals and aims in life and work out how to achieve them.

“The work at NVPC is just as much. Typical working hours I would say, but the difference is I feel more comfortable with the work and myself.

“It may sound contrived,” she added, “but when you are passionate about what you do, you cope better with challenges and a lot of the stress you’d ordinarily feel is gone.

Dora has learnt to pause, reflect and listen to her inner voice. She also realized that there are no bad decisions in life, just bad reactions.

The most important she has learnt from life coaching is that even the seemingly scariest things in life can be made less scary if you talk them over with someone and make a list. She said, “Once things are itemized, they really don’t seem insurmountable anymore.”

Doya has brought some sense of order and maybe fullness to her life. How about you? Do you need a life coach to act as your personal sounding board? Here at Locate A Coach, you can easily search for one that suits your personality and needs in major areas like career, health, relationships, spirituality etc.

Are you a coach yourself? As you well know, it takes time and repeated exposures to get new clients. Most people don’t just happen upon a coach’s website and make an impulse decision to hire them. Gain the widest amount of exposure for the longest period of time and your success with recruiting new clients increases dramatically! But many people, especially those just launching a new practice, can’t afford to advertise for the length of time needed to turn prospects into clients.

Locate A Coach understands the plight of the coaching business, and has developed an economical, systematic and proven way to give you the exposure you need without breaking your bank account.

A Locate A Coach membership will economically put your message in front of a targeted audience. After all, the site visitors come to Locate A Coach to find the right coach for them. They are very interested in what you have to offer. Through promotion of your articles, newsletters, coaching services, books, teleclasses and other events you earn the credibility and exposure that turns prospects into paying clients.

You can get your coaching business up to a good start by applying for a Locate A Coach membership and receive targeted traffic through online publication of your material very soon.

Dora Yip’s story is extracted from a Straits Times interview printed in the “Mind Your Body” supplement dated February 21st, 2007.

Dr. Robert Anthony is no stranger within self-development circles. An author of 15 bestsellers, his message is you will experience in your life what you cause yourself, or others, to experience. Not only that, but whatever you cause yourself or others to experience will come back to you multiplied and increased.

Tellman Knudson interviews Dr. Robert Anthony on how you can “re-tune your trance” to change your life. It is important that you listen to this. Points covered include:

* The Law Of Attraction
* The Law Of Cause And Effect
* Flip Switching
* The Power Of Now
* Consciousness
* Your Power To Choose
* The Value Of Certainty
* Discovering Your Purpose
* The Law Of Vibration
* Manifestation

How to live more purposefully?

Posted December 29th, 2006. Filed under Self Development

This is a Q&A extract taken from The Straits Times, December 27th, 2006.

Question: I am 32, an advertising executive and single. I used to make new year resolutions, like exercise more, work harder, be nicer to my parents, get a girlfriend. But year after year, my resolve starts to weaken by February. By the end of the year, I would be filled with regrets and guilt. It becomes harder and harder for me to make any new year resolution, and for me to believe that I will actually keep them.

I would really like 2007 to be different. Life is not really bad. I have a good job, and am not bad-looking. I would like to achieve my dreams and goals in 2007. Can you tell me how I do that?

Answer: Many people make new year resolutions without first thinking deeply of what really matters to them and the purpose of their aspirations. In addition, your ability to stick to your resolution starts to weaken because of the various interferences in your life. Some of these interferences are not visible to the naked eye.

Every year, I so time aside during the last two weeks of the year to reflect on the passing year, and imagine what the next one can be. I would also facilitate a few processes with my team so they would also reflect, declare and imagine.

I suggest that you give yourself some time during the last week of this year or the first week of 2007 to do this.

The first step is to acknowledge yourself for the moments in 2006 that you felt happy with or proud of. Thank the people in your lives for their support. You can do this acknowledgement by writing them down, drawing pictures or symbols, or talking about them to a friend. You need only about 30 minutes to do this.

This step helps you to realise that you already have strengths and abilities and blessings in your life. With this affirmation, you can look at your future with optimism.

The second step is to acknowledge the regrets, guilt, anger and fears you faced in 2006. Write them down. For example, I am angry that XYZ is greedy and selfish, I am afraid that I will not be promoted, I regret being lazy about my exercise, I am guilty that I spend too little time with my loved ones…Spend only 10 minutes on this.

When I do this part, a part of me starts to say, “This fear is irrational, I will do something about this regret…” This step is not meant for you to beat yourself up. On the contrary, this step is important because it helps you acknowledge what you need to let go. Many people allow their past baggage to drag them down in the present and the future.

Once you are done writing, you tear the paper up and throw the bits away. This symbolises your willingness to let your past regrets and other negative experiences go. You have acknowledged their existence, and you are making a choice to be detached, not be haunted by them.

The third step is to see your future. Every year, I ask myself, “If this new year is my last year on earth, what would I want to create with my life?” Thus, you can ask yourself, “What if 2007 is my last year…?”

This is not about being morbid. Like my 11-year-old son said once, “Every day, we are closer to the day we die.” We just don’t know when.

Thus, it is about living your life purposefully and compassionately every year, every month, week, day and moment, like it counts.

When you look at 2007 with, urgency, you will start to see what is truly meaningful to you. Most people realise that the people they are in relationships with are important. So they set goals to connect more with family and friends. Health, work and community service take on new meaning too.

In this third step, write or draw out how 2007 will be like for you. When you can see your goals dearly on one piece of paper, you will be more certain to take actions that get you closer to them.

These three steps are the beginning steps to make 2007 more fulfilling.

Then it will require discipline, determination, love and wisdom to get you to complete your own Journey of 2007.

May you have the courage, wisdom and compassion to make 2007 special for yourself and others. - Wendy Chua K. Wand

A Christmas Poem.

Posted December 27th, 2006. Filed under Other Stuff

Can’t resist a chuckle at the end.

“The Internet Marketer’s Night Before Christmas”

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and all ‘cross the net
Marketers were searching for the best payout yet.
They tried banners ads and they tried pay per click
They tried popup windows in hopes they would stick.

Bombarded with offers, product launches galore
Some sold their domains while others opened a store.
Hard products, digital, it didn’t matter which type,
with something to sell, it wasn’t just hype.

I surveyed the landscape, looking back at the year
When what to my wondering eyes did appear.
Flashbacks of launches, some big and some small,
and some that no one had heard of at all.

There’s Butterfly Marketing, Yes, Mikey Filsaime,
You could say he was top of his game.
And Shearing and Shaffer, our friends ‘cross the ocean,
When they launched a product, ’twas commissions in motion!

With Anik and Yanik it’s just so confusing,
But with product so great, no one was losing.
Happy consumers with options for earning,
Many great products, the tide it was turning.

The time it passed quickly and soon came the fall…
There’s Jenkins and Fallon, Stomping them all
And Schefren with content, churing out free reports,
When time came for selling, people were very good sports.

On Casey, on Wellman, on Chia and Knox
Your launches did surely knock off our socks
On Alex, on Shaffer, and on Michael Cheney,
on Armand Morin, or should we say Michael Lee?

With Video appearing, those who were wiser,
Had grabbed onto Frank Sousa’s cool “Traffic Geyser”
And AdSense, yes, AdSense, how could we forget?
These templates for all were my best product yet!

Another email, promotion, JV.
When would it slow down? This was making me crazy!
With bonuses sometimes stealing the show.
Cash, games and scooters could be yours, don’t you know.

Another “best product ever”, Another “death of” report
A flood of emails to technical support.
Guru’s popping up like never before,
Some valid, some not, but here’s something more…

The opportunity now has never been stronger,
for those with integrity, don’t wait any longer
To fire up your web site, to crank out that ebook
For now is the time when folks will take a look!

The vision came clearer for this new coming year,
quality product will rule, have no fear
For people are searching for hope that they need
We’re proof that any old schmoe can succeed.

All the knockoffs and clones, the market will weed,
Just do your very best, plant your good seed.
Prosperity, there is plenty around.
And niches galore, they are there to be found.

With such a great future for you and for me,
I enjoyed the bright lights of the Christmas tree,
with presents around it, and my family,
the reason I do what I do, can’t you see?

Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year
May your dreams come true, be full of cheer.
And I heard Cody say, as he shouted with glee,
“Don’t buy that product, you do JV with me!”

After having personally spoken to a few real AdSense success stories and dig deep into certain exclusive information, I can confidently come to an answer at least to myself to the classic quality-vs.-quantity question of how many sites must you create to earn substantially in AdSense.

Churning out 300 sites is no longer a worthy endeavor without a decent amount of marketing effort to promote the sites for their asset: genuine and sincere content. Neither is it possible for most people to earn just from 3 original and excellent sites.

So the answer is, “30 sites would do well…”

This relative number is something I derived listening separately from different people. They don’t have the skills nor the resources to set up another YouTube. All they use are simpler templates like the mini niche sites which you may even have in your hard disk now.

Every success story has his/her own formula, but I’ll let you in on a strategy: some of these marketers rely heavily on cross-linking several sites that serve a common niche sphere or a particular demographic of visitors i.e. teenagers, retirees, housewives, etc. So they are able to drive visitors back and forth from one site to another.

Reading through AdSense Wealth Empire yields an information that confirms my answer. As you scroll down you will find a screenshot of how much a cluster of 50 sites can earn.

If AdSense is your game, just to let you know you don’t have much time now, because AdSense Wealth Empire Christmas Edition is now left with 22 copies! To learn how to build such a cluster and manipulate traffic around masterfully, get AdSense Wealth Empire for 50% off the original price.

Tan Kian AnnI just want to introduce an old pal from the Money Mastery community (what’s that? Tell you next year), Tan Kian Ann, the Blogopreneur.

He is definitely one of the most photogenic and hard-typing blogger around Singapore, and as you can see, that is a recent photo, not some age-old worn-out pic taken from an ancient drawer.

As far as I know, blogging is the thing Kian Ann knows best and does most. His Blogopreneur is testament of just why intensive blogging (while having FUN) can push any blogs up the Alexa rankings and possibly traffic volumes too, no question, even if you are not conscientious about SEO.

His latest post is something I would like you to read, a worthy comparison between how visitors interact with one another in a blog and in a forum. It could be a very good clue as to how to develop and cultivate a community-based site.

Otherwise, I highly recommend you visit Blogopreneur for Kian Ann’s almost-daily musings. Give the chap a beer :)

Free MP3s On Market Research.

Posted December 25th, 2006. Filed under Business

Glenn Livingston was a psychologist for suicidal adolescents (that was depressing)…then a research consultant for mega-brands (too much politics). He escaped to the refuge of online niche marketing. He fused his prior skills into an accurate system for doubling your conversion and successfully entering new markets with near-zero risk. The hit rate with this now approaches 100%.

Perry Marshall interviews Glenn Livingston on how he:

- Insulates his markets from the competition (very often, with his method, competition actually increases his sales)

- Distinguishes “price of entry” benefits from true “points of difference” (things people expect in every product before they’ll even consider it vs. things they’ll actually open their wallets for!)

- Mines for hidden gold in existing customer lists

- Identifies hyper-responsiveness and designs campaigns specifically for them

- Figures out whether a market is worth pursuing in the first place

- Scientifically determines the right number of sub-segments in each market so he can dramatically improve on the message-to-market match! (You may think you’re dealing with only one type of prospect, but it’s usually three or four!)

- Figures out his prospects’ & customers’ emotional hot buttons

- Perhaps most importantly, how he identifies the “SEARCH CONTINUUM” and LIFE CYCLE in any market so he can take people through step-by-step and create a strong bond as a trusted adviser

The next audio by Drs. Glenn and Sharon (his wife) Livingston discusses how to minimize risk and maximize profits using surveys to dominate markets. Your prospects will know you are getting to them before your rivals in needs identification. They will also reach a purchasing decision on you faster. In some ways it relates to the recent big idea that is “The Long Tail”:

The 3rd audio, a meaty one, describes Glenn’s “4 Quadrants of Market Research”. You can find out more about your customers than anyone else in your market…even the customers themselves!

The common excuse is not having enough time, but according to Glenn, if not for his market research process, most marketers get stuck in one quadrant (and do you know which one?), and this severely limits their perspective on their customers and prospects (if they’ve done any research on their market at all).

The 1st step to establishing a new growth curve in your business is uncovering insights about your customer you haven’t yet gleaned from your perspective. Discover how:

Download transcript

These are critical insights Glenn has developed over 20 years of doing research for hundreds of companies in his own business experiences. By the end of the audio, you should know how to cover your the needs of your market from all angles.

The 4th audio deals with communicating with your customers and prospects to glean research data through a survey or interview. It’s more than just knowing how to talk to people because apparently it is easy to screw up this part! Dr. Sharon Livingston, a qualitative researcher for more than 20 years, outlines 5 simple rules which can really give you the edge (especially when you use them AFTER using a more structured, quantitative survey method) in this 17-minute interview.

6th audio: David Bullock is the advanced conversion strategist responsible for bringing the “Taguchi” testing method to the public’s general awareness. He’s also responsible for over $100 million in sales, so he’s definitely worth paying attention to!

Dr. Glenn Livingston compares with David the similarities and differences in their conversion methods, which can be implemented with a simple spreadsheet and a page rotator:

7th audio: Many people fail to realize just how easy it can be to motivate purchasing behavior when you link it to raising your prospect’s (or customer’s) self esteem…

But when you DO understand, a whole new world of emotional hot buttons opens up for you…

Here’s a concise, intriguing, and fun-to-listen-to 2-part interview of some of the core concepts to understanding emotional motivation in advertising:

Would it be wonderful for you if you could understand the ENTIRE spectrum of keywords in a market as they come from the conversation, wants, and needs in your customer’s head when they typed in each one (and how they moved from search term to search term)?

Then you’d have the ability to compete on even the most competitive words that everyone knew about.

SO what if you consider yourself bad at keyword research, as in “finding the most keywords with the least competition” if that is your criteria for success? Glenn does. In fact he feels inept at it. That’s why he finds it necessary to record his 8th audio from his perspective…

By the end of the audio you should know how to deconstruct and leverage on the “search continuum” to gain a MUCH higher volume of leads at a MUCH lower cost, take people OUT of the competitive environment EARLY in their search behavior and create a bond with prospects that makes them feel you’re almost psychic.

Download transcript

But perhaps there is a larger picture to the whole truth. No matter how good the keyword tools become, no matter which one you use, and no matter how much time you spend gathering and organizing phrases and analyzing competition/KEI…

All you’ll ever get from KEYWORD research is KEYWORD intelligence, NOT MARKET INTELLIGENCE!

Yes, it’s true that you need a comprehensive keyword picture of your industry.

Yes, it’s true that you need to meaningfully organize them into manageable, related groups.

But it’s also true that, no matter how specific the keyword phrases are that you gather, no matter how voluminous your list is, and no matter how well you organize them…

All you’ll ever get from keyword tools is KEYWORD INTELLIGENCE. And keyword intelligence is a necessary but definitely NOT sufficient step for achieving your business goals.

What you need is MARKET INTELLIGENCE…You need to understand WHO’s searching these keywords, WHAT they’re looking for, WHERE they’ve been looking before they got to those keywords, HOW they’re going to proceed to other words, WHY they’re searching, WHAT their true pain points are, WHEN they’re most likely ready to buy, and WHICH groups of people belong together based upon all the above.

Recently, Russell Wright (quickly emerging as the de facto authority on latent semantic indexing and keyword research in general) and Glenn got together and discussed this distinction in detail.

Here’s another audio Glenn did with Perry Marshall about direct marketing principles you can use to enter new markets and double your business. The interview itself focuses on how psychotherapists can grow their practices but please don’t let this throw you. They just used the hypothetical example of a psychologist to illustrate KEY PRINCIPLES which can be applied to ANY product or service (yes, even yours).

How To Start Your Own Lead Generation Business In 24 Hours Or Less!

Perhaps you have seen this disclaimer statement on some opt-in pages, including ours: “Notice that we never rent or sell our members’ data to anyone. All information is held strictly confidential.”

It looks like a rebellious trend is beginning…at least one famous marketer we know is doing something just that: sell targeted leads to carefully chosen companies for their own promotion.

We are not advising that you become cautious of any pages that don’t carry the disclaimer. Far from it, you will definitely know what’s going on if any pages go further by asking for your income level, marital status, number of family members, phone number, address and other finer details. This method of canvassing data is done legally and tactfully. You will be aware that you are being asked for the details before you make the decision to become a targeted lead for the webmaster.

The common business practice is not the best practice: people spider and collect e-mail addresses from anywhere and everywhere, rank them from A to Z in CSV files and sell them as some ‘leadblaster’ package. Sounds familiar? ;)

When you use Mark Vurnum’s method for specific niches outside marketing, business and money-making subjects, it becomes lucrative for you to leverage on leads that respond very positively to offers that cater to their interests, problems or even hobbies. What did Mark do? He has a blueprint for creating a business out of lead generation and selling those leads to high-profile corporations that can provide those offers. Imagine selling leads to Pfizer, Nike, Johnson & Johnson and the like and you get the scenario.

Mark found it so lucrative he gave up his 18-month-old $422,000 AdSense business to concentrate on his ‘LeadGen’ business because it pays him more and faster!

Now he is revealing his strategies to you in a series of Lead Generation Videos

As additional bonuses, you get income plans, budget management, and profit prediction plans which contain everything you’ll ever need to help you run your LeadGen business, 52 ready-to-use high-conversion LeadGen website templates and full access to Mark’s members-only online community, among others.

For the 2-digit low price you are getting now, you’ll slash at least 3-5 years off your LeadGen learning curve. Not only could you make a small fortune online, but also save you hundreds of hours of wasted time, thousands of dollars of cash, and a LIFETIME of frustration and effort, with no guarantee of success.

You are riding at the cusp of a new business model that will prosper you in 2007. Get “How To Start Your Own Lead Generation Business In 24 Hours Or Less” to succeed in your Lead Generation business both online AND offline.

Would an extra 15,650 visitors per month be nice? Yes, I can feel you nod your head :) With Derek Gehl around, nothing is theoretical. Every method is tried, tested and proven.

How YOU Can Make 28 Times More Per Click.

Posted December 18th, 2006. Filed under Contextual Advertising

HavAds layouts

Ian Richardson and Carl Bradbrook did a test on a single access page that gets 347 unique visitors in one week, with the same wording, links, placement, colour, etc. What happened?

One page with AdSense on it takes in $44.17. The other with HavAds generates $1255.74 in the same period. That’s 28 times more income!

Perhaps AdSense is just as good as it is now, provided that webmasters find the time and effort to change the way they do things to qualify within Google’s criteria. One big lesson to gain from dealing with Google is to treat it as your partner, not some kind of adversary.

But what if you have a whole new opportunity to administer your personal range of affiliate links into AdSense-like HavAds that bring you commissions of $33.50, $48.50, $98.50 and the like? Not only can you choose the different styles of HavAds to fit your web design (as seen above), you can also insert HavAds into PDF and EXE e-books to generate extra income as you give them away to gain extra readership. This is something you can’t do with AdSense and it is a brilliant advantage.

Also, HavAds appears as popups when clicked, so you don’t lose your visitors from the original page…nah, not like Adsense. HavAds may just be the BEST thing that ever happens to your online business! Do consider to include this in your marketing software arsenal.

Are you making any money with Resale Rights products?

We get a lot of e-mails each day and many of them are offering products with resale rights. What are resale rights? That means you can buy that product and then you get the right to sell it and keep 100% of the profits. Sounds great, right?

Well unfortunately it’s not that easy. It’s hard to make money with resale rights is because 1000′s of people are selling the same product. How do you compete with so many other people?

What if you could get your hands on several brand new never-before-seen resale rights products that no one currently has? Imagine the money you could make with products that haven’t been passed all around the Internet!

What if you those products were only being sold by 300 other people instead of 1000′s of other people? Again it would be MUCH easier for you to make money, wouldn’t it?

Liz Tomey has launched her exclusive Original eProducts membership site for precisely 300 exclusive marketers which will include YOU! You get 4-6 brand new smoking hot products every single month. Each of these products is literally fresh off the press and carefully developed to ensure maximum profits in their respective niches. Who else is offering brand new, never-before-seen, high-quality products like this?

Only 300 people will be able to get their hands on this membership. Liz is selling only a limited number so that every member doesn’t get beat to death by the competition! If you want this membership, you’re going to have to act fast. Get Original eProducts before there’s no place left!

Forum Equalizer

Can you really generate loads of quality one-way links without spending a ton of cash?

You bet you can…

AND exactly how may surprise you, because you probably already use at least one on a regular basis…

Yet, you only gain a tiny fraction of what it has to offer.

It’s as simple as posting to forums and message boards.

Along with each forum post, you can include your “Signature”, which has a link to your site (or sites). You know how powerful these are, right?

This means every time you make a post, as many as hundreds or even thousands of people will see it.

And, what’s more, the traffic is just the tip of the iceberg…

The main benefit of posting in forums are the high-quality links that search engines love. Not to mention branding your name, your business and building credibility, recognition and a reputation.

Of course, the problem with posting to forums is that making posts to more than a few forums is a time-consuming exercise…It’s okay if you’ve got hours and hours to spare, but you don’t really have that, do you?

That’s why I’m recommending this new solution that makes forums an even more practical advertising solution that doesn’t cost a penny. It’s brilliant, time saving, signs up for you, submits for you and is and quite addictive once you start using it…

Over the weekend I read a couple of different remarks from marketers warning their readers to stay away from the dime sales.

My first thought was…”Now What?”

But, it turned out these guys were trying to make their readers aware that sometimes the dime sales are not what they appear to be.

There are those out there that will work their sales more to their advantage rather than their affiliates or yours.

Perhaps they were upset with someone’s dime sale…I don’t know. There are many of these types of sales now and not everyone is going to run theirs the same.

The two things they were talking about were: the product was available for free elswhere and resell/master resell rights were available only as an OTO.

Legitmate concerns? Yes, I think so too.

Look….overall the dime sales and other similar sales are good for you. I haven’t yet been involved in one that was out to “get you”.

With that being said…due to the fact that a couple of marketers have released their dime sale scripts,you will be finding more and more of these types of sales.

It comes down to you doing your ‘due dilligence’. Checking out exactly what it is you get for your buck. Look over the sales pages carefully and check out the product carefully.

Ask yourself…what rights am I going to get with this product? Are the rights included in the sale price…or do I have to purchase them seperately?

Ask yourself is this product free somewhere else? With all the giveaways going on you can pick up great stuff and then turn around and put it in a dime sale. There will always be someone to pick it up because you have provided a valuable product and service, nothing else. It is simply a matter of market principle.

Does anyone need to get upset when they don’t need to buy it? (What kind of question am I asking anyway? *scratch head*

And as with ALL sales…ask yourself this. Do I really need this product? Will I use this product? Does this product fit my business? Why am I buying this product? Am I buying this because its so cheap? Or am I buying this because I need it and will use it?
