Kick-Starting E-mail Profits Growth From One Single Shot!
Valeriu Popescu
Perhaps the most critical step in guaranteeing the success of your e-mail promotions is to send your messages to a targeted list of opt-in subscribers who have specifically requested to receive information on a particular topic from you. Thats your "in-house" email list.
Sooner or later, youll face the same challenge: how to build a list of qualified, targeted prospects from scratch.
When it comes to building an e-mail list, online marketers tend to spread on too many options. Offen, they neglect to focus on a single promotion til the end and exploit to the fullest potential. Heres an example.
Suppose you run a newsletter and have a web page or popup window which invite prospects to subscribe. As a reward for giving their e-mail address, you offer them a bonus.
Thats fine -- but not enought! You are loosing money simply by leaving empty profit places in your message.
Wouldnt be nice to build actually 3 different mailing lists from one "stroke" Of course! For better understanding, Ill stick with the same newsletter example. So, clear-up your newsletter invitation and insert couple of extra carefully selected phrases. Follow these steps:
Step #1 --> Insert a Newsletter Subscription
Obviously, this is your primer objective. A new subscriber is a potential new source of profit. It is a common sense to tell people what to expect up front. The more relevant seems your offer to the desired relationship, the better.
Step #2 --> Insert a Special Report
Be smart: upload your report to an autoresponder. The trick is to provide high-quality content AND an offer that will earn you a profit!
You know the rest: the autoresponder send out automatically additional reports and follow-up messages to those who get the initial report. The results: more sales and profits.
Step #3 --> Insert an eCourse
Each lesson of the eCourse provides at least one offer and usually multiple offers for the reader to consider. Many buy, some dont. But its another automated profit system.
Step #4 --> Insert a Mystery Bonus
Mystery bonus Yes! People universally love mystery. Be sure you wont let the prospects know what is all about up until they subscribe.
What you need at this point: an ebook that is coded with your own affiliate links! Psst... invite them to pass it out as an incentive!
The final results: 3 separate lists from newsletter subscription, special report, and ecourse and a viral marketing tool the mystery ebook! Everything easy to set- up and ready to upload to your web site in less than an hour of work. Not bad!
Things to remember BEFORE you implement this e-mail marketing strategy:
be accurate and clear with your messages.
spell out features/benefits/advantages in your offer.
dont go only after e-mail list quantity. Your e-mail list should balance QUALITY with QUANTITY issues.
ALWAYS provide high-quality content.
implement your system ON EVERY PAGE of your web site.
always use professional sequential autoresponders to PERSONALIZE each of your e-mail messages.
test subject lines and messages until you get the highest results.
check your messages to make sure links work properly.
use high quality graphics to first-impress.
NEVER forget to THANK YOU prospects once they give you their e-mail address.
ALWAYS allow prospects to self-remove from your e-mail lists.

Search Engine Copywriting: Focus on One Topic – Site
Search Engine Copywriting: Focus on One Topic
Nick Usborne
Perhaps the simplest of all the lessons I have learned about writing for search engines is to keep my pages simple. That is to say, whether I am thinking about my readers or about Google, there is a huge advantage to keeping most of your pages confined to a single topic.
There are three approaches I take to the creation of a page, and each has a significant impact on how high the listing for that page appears on Google.

Bob Hope Wasnt The Only One Who Used Idiot Cards – Travel
Bob Hope Wasnt The Only One Who Used Idiot Cards
Stephen Schochet
When Bob Hope moved into television, he lost the opportunity to hold his script in his hand , something he had gotten used to working in radio. The presentation would look too stiff to his audience. He tried to memorize his monologues, but that proved to be too cumbersome of a task and it took away from his golf game. The solution was cue cards, or idiot cards as they are known in the industry. This worked well for the performer, but was hazardous for others. On one of Hopes early NBC broadcasts a well meaning assistant director held up the cards so his star could read them, then tossed them back over his shoulder almost decapitating several members of the studio audience.
Idiot cards are a way for performers to lose the respect of their co-stars. James Caan, Robert Duvall and the rest of the cast of the 1972 classic, The Godfather , were thrilled to meet the star of the movie Marlon Brando. Actor Lenny Montana, who played the thuggish character Luca Brasi was so in awe of Brando he kept fumbling his lines when they both shared the same scenes. Director Francis Ford Coppola made it work by having the character of Luca nervously rehearse what he was going to say prior to meeting the Don, making the situation appear seamless. But if Montana was willing, if unable to learn his lines, Brando was not. In his scenes there were cue cards everywhere, causing Duvall to yell at him," Marlon, why dont you learn your lines you fat #*^%*@!"
Brando stubbornly refused to change. A year later when performing in the controversial and sex charged Last Tango In Paris he wrote some of his lines on the bottom of his shoe and in a few scenes had to hop around awkwardly to read them.
For some actors, idiot cards are the ultimate security blanket. Shortly before he died the great John Barrymore had a scene where he only had to deliver one line: "Yes". Dutifully, his personal assistant stood ready to hold up a cue card. One of the film techs informed the director that Barrymores helper was standing in the way, they would not be able to light the scene properly. The director waited for his star to arrive. "Jack, Can I talk to you" "Certainly." "Would it be possible for you do this one scene without your idiot card" "Absolutely Not". The director sighed," Jack you only have to say yes, thats it. What happens if I order your friend to leave" Barrymore looked at him coldly. "I might say no." In the end new lighting arrangements were made.
