It’s been a while since I’ve posted due to some unforseen difficulties and my recent move to Florida. Anyway, I’m back and have been wanting to share a story with you that will hopefully alert Internet Marketing Newbies as to how important it is to read the fine print when purchasing and/or joining work at home opportunities online.

A couple of months ago a friend of mine went online looking for work she could do from home. She came across a work at home opportunity that looked good to her and was seemingly inexpensive. She paid the small amount to join and got started on trying to figure out what to do to start making money. A few days later she called me and said she thought she had messed something up with the blog she was given and I told her I’d see if I could help her fix it. When she told me the name of the program and said that it cost her under $2.00 I asked if she had read the TOS “Terms of Service”. She said she did and that the $1.97 was all they were charging her.

When I went into her account for this program the first thing I did was pull up the TOS (Terms of Service). Well, in the TOS it did state that they charge $1.97 for a 7 day trial period. But, after the trial period the cost would be $69.00/mo.! Of course I called her right away so she could cancel before the 7 days was up (knowing she couldn’t afford it).

So why did my friend think that she had read the TOS? Well, a lot of sales pages have a little box for you to check agreeing to the Terms of Service. It’s possible to think that what you’re reading above the box you have to check is what the terms are, but they aren’t the terms. Under the box there is usually a tiny link in fine print you can click on to read the TOS (although it could be somewhere else on the page). This link is easily overlooked since the sales page states that all you need to pay is $1.97. Well, there isn’t much out there for $1.97, so most likely you get a trial period then a monthly fee immediately after. Always, always click on the TOS link and read the terms.

Some sales pages will have a clause in fine print stating the trial period and monthly fee (this could be located anywhere on the page), so make sure to look closely and read everything on the page before purchasing.

I’m not saying that any of this is illegal, just that it’s a little deceiving, especially if you’re new at internet marketing.

You don’t want to end up overdrawing on your bank account or spending money you don’t have because of overlooking the TOS agreement. And yes, I admit it, this happened to me plenty of times when I was just starting out!

So, remember to….READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE SALES PAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! This will save you a lot of headaches and money!

Take care,

Lori

Hi Everyone,

If you’re looking for the “key” to online success, then here it is…

You need a mentor to teach you the ropes!

If you’ve been online for a while and feel stuck, if you want to take your existing online business to the next level, or even if you’re a total newbie, then a good mentor is what you need. I was really stuck and working so hard to build my business and make money online. The result was I ended up exhausted, confused, and surrounded by tons of papers with “opportunities” claiming to make me “rich“.

Well, that’s not going to happen, you won’t get rich. But you can make a living online and you can certainly make a lot of money. That’s up to you though, depending on how much work your willing to do to make it happen. Yes, making money online does involve work! Having a mentor can get you past the learning curve though and help you get there much faster. Having a mentor put me in the right direction so I could finally stop going in circles.

In November of 2008 I became one of Alex Jeffrey’s coaching students and it’s changed my life! I had been online for quite a while and hadn’t gotten anywhere, except lost in “information overload”. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

A lot of people never get past that point and just give up. Please don’t give up! You really can become successful, you just need help to get past that pesky “learning curve“. It can be very hard to make money online without having a mentor to show you how… But once you have people to help you’ll be very surprised at the difference it makes and how much easier it is than you thought.

With Alex’s coaching I learned what I needed to know to build my online business, and how to “Take Action” to get where I want to be. What I want is to help others to make money online.

I am in the process of co-writing an e-Book with another one of Alex’s students, John Bullard. It’s really exciting! I never would have thought that I could come up with ideas for my own product or e-Book, much less actually write one. I was racking my brain trying to come up with ideas, then along came Alex.

I had heard so many times how you need to create your own product, build a profitable opt-in list, get targeted traffic to your web site, make videos, market yourself, etc…

With Alex’s help I learned to put all of this knowledge together with amazing results. Now I’m writing an e-Book, generating traffic, have made videos, and so much more! Now I have so many ideas it’s unbelievable! Couldn’t have done it all without Alex.

It was such a relief, I wasn’t alone anymore! It’s awesome to have Alex and the other coaching students to talk to and to give and get help from each other. No more going in circles (YAY!). It really did make things so much easier. You don’t have to be alone either.

If I can do it, so can you. You can build your own online business and be your own boss – FULLTIME! With a good mentor you can do more than just imagine the possibilities – you can make them a REALITY!

You can’t just get any old mentor though, of course. Your mentor needs to be someone who really cares about helping you succeed.

Luckily Alex just opened up his coaching program again, and he really is a very good mentor. As a previous student I’ve experienced the results and I personally know many of other students of Alex’s that are doing exceptionally well. I wanted to share this exciting opportunity with you so you can become “un-stuck” and start moving forward with your own online business.

I’m sorry for going on and on, I just can’t emphasize enough how much Alex has helped me and how many lives his coaching has changed.

If you decide you’d like Alex to coach you and sign up through me, I will give you a refund of $250.00. Alex’s Coaching! Yes, Alex is THAT good! I truly believe in this because of what he’s done for me.

All you need to do to get your $250.00 refund from me is to email me a copy of your paid receipt after signing up through me. My email address is lorijames@everythinghomebiz.com. You’re refund will be sent to you right away after your payment goes through.

P.S. It took me a while to write this post, I really wanted to get my point across about how much having a good mentor is changing my life and the lives of other people I know. Again, I truly believe that this is the way to go because of the difference it’s made for me. I am trying not to sound too “salesy”, but Alex is a good mentor and there are many who have benefited tremendously from his coaching. I really, truly want you to realize how important this opportunity could be for you. My hope is that you realize you don’t have to be alone anymore and that there really are people out there who can and want to help!

Co-written by: Drywall Panel Hoist. Freelance data entry is a job that involves independent work for a small or large business without being an employee.

As part of this kind of activity, the freelancer will hire his/her services without any contract on a longer or shorter period of time. The advantage of such occupations is that they can be conducted from home, allowing a high schedule flexibility and an independent, individual planning of work. The only negative aspect about freelance data entry is that many of the companies that need such work done are not always that prompt with payments, not to mention the risk of scams that hides in most online job offers.

For example, you should be on your guard when a company needs freelance data entry work but conditions it on the purchase of a kit. Will the terms of the agreement be respected to the line? Freelance data entry work has to face this risk particularly when it is offered on the international market. Many scam reports speak of ghost businesses hiring the services of freelancers and failing to pay them on work completion.

Always research on the status of a particular business, before taking any freelance data entry job. It is common practice for frauds to disappear with work before making the payment. According to many experts it is very difficult to find freelance data entry jobs that would be well paid and safe from the worker’s point of view. Solutions do exist for work crisis and they often come from special websites that intermediate business relationship and jobs in exchange for a commission taken from the transaction price. A fine example here of online intermediation for work projects from around the world is a web site like www.rentacoder.com.

Companies from all over the world place bid requests with work ads. Freelance data entry is one of the commonly requested tasks. The good part is that the freelancer is sure to be paid if he/she does a good job and respects all the aspects of the work agreement. When a certain project gets assigned, the buyer or hirer sends the money to the web site, with the funds release on job completion.

Should there be a dispute between the two parties, the web site offers impartial arbitration and escrows funds accordingly.

People who choose data entry work at home are either seeking an alternative to the stressful office job, or need a parallel revenue generation source. Stay-home moms, retired people, students and lots of other categories would like to make some extra cash in a stress free environment. The availability of data entry jobs depends on the amount of information that companies have to process or handle on a current basis; generally speaking, such jobs are actually a permanent necessity.

The problem is that many businesses are not willing to send business information to someone they get in contact with only online. Most of the time, data entry work at home jobs are filled by people living in the same geographical area with a company. And this kind of employment has a double advantage for both parties involved: the person hired to do the work is safer from scams, while the company benefits from the possibility to check whom they are working with. Mutual trust no longer makes the the rule for business relationships particularly due to the incredible amount of frauds you’ll come across online in this field of activity.

It may take a while before you find some data entry work at home opportunity either part time or full time. Web masters are usually hiring people to do the manual work required for site promotion and advertising, because such jobs take time and effort, which they otherwise use for the updating and optimization of the web pages. Freelancing data entry work at home is therefore widely advertised on job boards in forums. The access to such media is free of charge, and there are significantly less chances of scams. Yet, it doesn’t harm to remain on your guard!

Other spots where you can find good data entry work at home opportunities are the web pages of various organizations. In case you prefer any of their programs, you will constantly receive updates about the work availability and the most suitable ways to make money as part of the organization.

If we are to trust some experts, such data entry work at home represents the most solid background for online jobs with a decent payment level. You won’t be making a fortune, but you won’t be starving either!

10 Tips to Better Marketing – Three; Time To Re-Evaluate Your Market Niche

There are offline businesses going into bankruptcy everywhere. In a time of prosperity, people rush to buy the latest electronic gadget or to get the latest bath accessories, one for each change of the season. So, your market niche may have done well when the economy was doing well, but now you’ve noticed a down tick in purchases. What’s going on? Don’t assume that this is a product of the economic recession; instead, be proactive and try to determine what factors are affecting your sales. It could be the economy, but it could also be various other factors: A shifting demographic, poor sales strategies that don’t work in a downturn, or bad or no advertising campaign.

 

Shifting Demographics

 

When you set up your business, you probably had a good idea of what demographic you wanted to serve. With the recession, the demographic you serve may have had shifts in their income level or even living situations. Take a look at the boomer generation. They are experiencing an epic shift in their income as they retire, with battered retirement accounts from poor market results. Even though you could rely on this demographic to purchase certain products and services as they continued to dominate the market, this may not be true in the future. So, you need to re-evaluate the demographics that you are serving in your market niche.

Sales Strategies

 

Running the same promotions with worse results? That’s not really surprising considering that the psychology of the market place has changed dramatically and that the consumer may not be in a buying mood for a while. Before the recession, status was a great psychological trigger to use to create a buying opportunity. The same trigger is somewhat meaningless in a downturn unless you are marketing to the very rich. The biggest strategy for the downturn is going to be value offers; you need to make sure that many of your strategies reflect a trigger for value.

 

Bad or No Advertising Campaigns

 

The immediate impulse of business owners in a downturn is to stop throwing money at advertising since there are fewer buyers. This is a mistake and can be a self-fulfilling prophecy for poor sales later on. So, if you haven’t evaluated your advertising campaign, you need to do that now. Look at where you are advertising, what psychological triggers and sales strategies you are using, and whether you can provide value offers that put you ahead of the competition during this tough economy.

10 Tips to Better Marketing – Two; Chasing The Long Tail In A Recession

Chris Anderson, author of “The Long Tail,” hypothesizes that even though classic marketing assumes that 80% of sales come from 20% of your customers, chasing “the long tail” of customers not in that 20% can be a viable online strategy. That’s because online businesses are great at providing choice, something that physical brick-and-mortar stores can’t stock or inventory the same way since they are not virtual enterprises. But, is chasing the long tail still a good strategy in a recession where consumer demand is dropping drastically?

Make money online – methods examined; Wealth Matrix Review

 

Why The Long Tail Creates Demand

 

Yes, it is a good idea to think about chasing the long tail. The reasons for that are two-fold: Physical retailers are already reducing inventory and dropping choices and online retailers don’t have to stock or inventory a selection or choice in order to offer it. So, the same reason that makes it unthinkable for physical retailers makes it a great choice for online merchants. After all, demand may be slowing for the best sellers, but the long tail is not about best sellers; it’s about personal preference. When a consumer has a personal preference for a particular product or service, they will look to get that choice fulfilled regardless of the cost, even in a down economy. And, even if a retailer offers this choice in their physical stores, an online business is better suited to drop the price on it because they are not keeping their stock in physical inventory. They are doing “just-in-time” demand fulfillment.

 

Look Up Affiliates, Partners, and Order Fulfillment Services

 

In order to capitalize on this strategy, there is a bit more upfront market research. You want to locate affiliates, partners, and order fulfillment services that can help you market the long tail without necessarily having to create products yourself or ship them. That way, they can remain in other people’s physical inventory until you get an order and are ready to fulfill that order. If you line up a great team of suppliers who you can use to create a vast choice, then you will create demand where there was none because you are offering something in one place that few others are able to do offline. If you make it easy to search online, then you create the ability for the customer to service his/her own needs and to exactly specify their preferences.

10 Tips to Better Marketing – One, Listening: An Online Business Skill To Increase Consumer Demand

 

It used to be that only certain professions and businesses had to really listen closely with empathy to their client’s needs. Retail businesses in more prosperous times weren’t in the business of playing counselor, coach, or advocate. That’s all changed as consumers around the country are struggling with a bad economy, causing them to change their previously unquestioning consumer mentality to one of careful frugality. In an environment like this, the only way to customize your marketing and business strategies is to pay close attention to your customer’s needs and try to meet them.

 

The Big Three Components of Consumer Demand

 

Many of the issues that customers are going to face in this recession are the same: Reduced income, increased expenses, and solutions that don’t meet their immediate needs. As we know from business theories, consumer demand is comprised of three components: Income level, personal preference, and price. There is not much a business can do about customers’ falling income levels. There are some things that can be done with pricing; however, downward pricing can create a risk to the bottom line profitability of the business, so the only other way to influence consumer demand is through preference.

Retailers Phasing Out Choices

 

It makes sense for big retailers who must carry inventory to phase out choices that aren’t in wide demand and to cater to mass tastes. That’s where online businesses can have an edge in this economy as they can offer the choice without necessarily inventorying it. If they listen to many of their customers who are having difficulty finding a particular solution that can only be bought online, they can offer this and raise the demand for their services by using this strategy.

 

Understand The Nature of Consumer Demand

 

Yes, people will have less to spend and become more frugal, but this doesn’t mean that consumers will naturally gravitate to the cheapest choice. In fact, value becomes more important as the length of the recession is anyone’s guess. A purchase that lasts longer is of better value than a great product that crashes, breaks, or looks worn a few months down the line. Consumers are becoming more sophisticated on buying not only things that solve their personal problems and preferences, but they are now demanding that they stand up to the test of time. If you can meet both of these needs, you will have clients for life, long after this recession is over.
