Recession Survival - Expand Your Home Based Craft Business with the Internet

Are you an individual who operates a successful home based craft business? If so, you know the challenges of finding and maintaining a solid customer base. If you haven’t considered the Internet, now is the time. With the multitude of possibilities available online, you can take your business to a new level.

The first thing you should do is set up your own web site if you
open a home based craft business online store. You can easily upload digital images and set your prices. Then, people can purchase directly from your site. All you have to do is fill the orders and ship them. Optionally, your web site could simply show sample products. You could take orders from people and fill them on an as-needed basis.

Why not let the Internet serve as your new advertising medium? You can grow your home based craft business by purchasing online directory advertising in regional as well as interest-related directories. Online advertising is often cheaper than advertising in an offline directory and typically does not require the level of commitment required by printed directories.

Additionally, you can purchase ad space in ezines and on craft-related web sites. For some no-cost advertising, try participating in craft-related forums or discussion groups. By using a catchy signature file that includes a link to your web site, you may be able to gain some new customers.

Use Ebay as a place to sell your crafts. Set up your own Ebay - About Me -page so that even if people don’t buy your product, you can offer them the opportunity to be on a pre-notification list for future auctions. You never know, they may buy something at a later date. This is a great way to build up a potential customer database. Another thing you can try is to
create and sell a simple craft template or even a pre-made craft kit. Often, other crafters are more interested in making a similar product rather than purchasing one that is already completed.

As you can see, expanding your home based craft business is limited only by your creativity and imagination.

How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini

sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money

online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or

money to set up, and once you've got one up and

running, you can sit back and just collect money from

all the sales you're making.


At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?


The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set

up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and

money to set up. So why is it that so few people

actually make money with their mini sites?


The answer is that they never learned how to actually

turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that

runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...


*************************************************

YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!

*************************************************


Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael

Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course

that will walk you through the process of creating a

killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll

also teach you how to actually start making money with

it right away and into the future.


If you've been looking for help with monetizing your

mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The

best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more

about that later. First, let's talk about the videos

themselves.


If you're in a hurry, you can just check the

videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:


http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=14654


*************************************************

OVERALL QUALITY

*************************************************


It's important to note that these are online videos

that you access from your web browser. Michael uses

Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the

premier software program for creating screen capture

tutorials such as these.


The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button

on the first video was the incredible production

quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture

videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone

make videos that are this high quality before.


He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his

wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the

highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing

product. They sound like they were recorded in a

professional studio.


Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of

seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he

set out to create something different in order to

raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you

see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll

agree that he has succeeded.


Now let's move onto...


*************************************************

THE ACTUAL VIDEOS

*************************************************


Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously

it's impossible to list every single thing here,

but I want you to get a feel for what each one

covered, and how well it covered it.


If you're in a hurry, you can just check the

videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:


http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=14654


VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION


This videos introduces you to the entire course, as

well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can

expect from the course, and why it's structured the

way it is.


Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,

and so he spends some time establishing his

credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest

successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.

Michael explains that, in order for you to get value

from the teachings, you need to have faith that the

teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the

end of this video, you will have no doubt.


By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us

product developers. If you want people to accept you

as an authority on any subject, you first need to

establish your credibility with the reader. That way

he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're

telling him is sound advice.


VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS


This video will introduce you to the basics of mini

site marketing. This will set the foundation that all

future learning will rest upon, so it's important to

pay close attention to this one.


You'll learn:


* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different

from regular content sites.


* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones

they don’t.


* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating

mini sites as part of your online business strategy.


* And the different tools you need to get started.


This was a great video, and did an excellent job of

kicking things off, and building the foundation for

the rest of the course.


VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES


This is probably one of the most useful videos of the

entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build

an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best

way to capture the most opt-ins?


The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach

you:


* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other

opt-in methods.


* The single most important thing you must include at

the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in

rate.


* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most

marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of

money).


* The most important to include in your opt-in process

that will make sure that people actually receive your

email.


After watching this video, you'll know everything you

need to know to start building a massive opt-in list

right away. This will probably be the first video that

you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the

possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create

your own squeeze page right away.


VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART

ONE


Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.

Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales

copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the

mysterious process of writing words that make people

whip out their credit cards and buy.


Specifically, you'll learn:


* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate

to write”


* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell

the difference.


* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that

practically forces your readers to go through your

entire page.


* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make

your reader want to learn more.


There is no skill that is more important to your

success than the ability to write killer sales copy.

Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as

well as...


VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART

TWO


This video dives right into the individual components

of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create

the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter

that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:


* How to create captivating body copy that draws your

reader into the sales letter.


* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the

whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want

to buy your product


* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so

they'll feel safe buying from you.


* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people

to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.


* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal

the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer

instantly.


This video covered a surprising amount of detail,

especially considering that this course is not

specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is

definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational

products.


VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE

DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT


Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you

must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.

The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,

and letting the site itself do all the work, including

the work of instantly delivering the product to the

customer.


This video will walk you through the process of

automating your product delivery, so you can just

relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once

you have this automated system set up, you never have

to touch it again.


VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE


This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for

almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced

marketers. Michael dives into some of the most

effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.


Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a

thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of

your orders. You'll learn:


* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it

make your customer spend even more money with you.

The best part? He'll think it was his idea!


* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This

one will surprise you when you realize how much money

you've been leaving on the table by skipping this

step.


* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to

100%.


If you've already got a mini site that's up and

running, this video will make a big difference for you

right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'

strategies to increase your income literally

overnight!


VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES

FORCE


If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful

marketers have in common, it's that they have a great

affiliate program. They create a program that allows

other people to make good money by promoting their

products, and they get to just sit back and relax,

while everyone else is doing the hard work of

promoting FOR them.


If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated

sales people working hard to make you money, then

you're going to love this video. Michael will teach

you:


* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up

very quickly.


* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates

(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra

attention to this part).


* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough

to convince people to sign up, and what you can do

instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of

your affiliates.


* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.


VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID


Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you

should do. You also need to know what mistakes you

should avoid. Michael has already made these costly

mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:


- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to

capitalize on that for your mini-site


- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a

mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.


- The single biggest thing that will kill your

mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this

mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your

bank account FAST!)


- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your

long-term profits.


VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A

PRODUCT FUNNEL


This video will walk you through the process of

designing a product line that will make you a TON of

money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,

which is why this important concept (which was taken

from direct marketing) gets it's own video.


After watching this video, you'll understand why you

can't just have a single front end product, and you'll

know exactly what to do in order to get your customer

to keep buying more and more expensive products from

you... completely on autopilot!


This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who

wants to make a lot of money from their online

business.


VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR

WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE


The title of this video says it all. You'll learn

all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch

freelancers to help you create your mini site empire

in record time.


Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything

that mini sites require. For example, it's really

tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also

mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer

copywriter, on top of also creating the product

itself.


And the list goes on and on. If you want to be

efficient, and begin making money as fast as

possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it

happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,

as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls

to avoid.


VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR

WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE


Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your

mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to

it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing

and mysterious parts of making money online IF you

don't get the proper education.


Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a

lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,

you'll learn:


* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get

targeted traffic fast.


* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a

dime.


* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of

other people to explode your traffic.


* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!


By the time you're done with this video, you'll know

what to do right away to begin driving targeted

visitors to your mini site.

course for yourself:

*************************************************

DELUXE VIDEOS

*************************************************


Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and

has more content than most 300 dollar home study

courses. And did I mention that it's free?


If you decide that you want to continue your

education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you

can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.

The deluxe course contains four full-length videos

that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.


Here's a breakdown of each video:


*************************************************

VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END

THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT

*************************************************


This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in

itself. It walks you though the entire process of

setting up a back end that is completely automated

using an autoresponder system.


You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to

automatically remove a person from your prospect list

after he buys, and then insert him into your customer

list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence

will start promoting your back end products

automatically.


Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like

all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a

back end that works hard for you while you're out

creating new mini sites and developing new products.

This video will show you how.


*************************************************

VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS

*************************************************


In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through

some of his best tactics for growing a massive list

from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to

add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what

you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get

the most possible subscribers.


Building a list is about SO much more than just

offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you

five different things you can offer your readers to

get them to instantly give you their name and email.


You'll also learn the best places to actually put the

opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn

about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a

bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your

list.


I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to

this video over and over again.


*************************************************

VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT

MAKE YOU MONEY

*************************************************


When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to

drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you

should focus on first. This video will walk you

through the four most important marketing activities

you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.


Once you master these four, you'll never have to

wonder what you should do when you start a new mini

site. You'll have an easy-to-follow road map for

driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so

you can begin making money ASAP!


*************************************************

VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE

*************************************************


In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his

best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of

any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT

seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close

attention to this one.


Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,

and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael

shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense

that you'd want to make the most amount of money

possible from it.


In this video, you'll learn:


- How changing one sentence on your mini site could

double your profits easily.


- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your

average order (which puts more money into your

pocket).


- The one thing you must add to your 'download page'

that will instantly increase your income (with no

extra work, once this thing is put into place).


- How to turn your actual product into a money making

machine!


*************************************************

CONCLUSION

*************************************************


Whew! That was a lot of information, and I hope it

helped you decide to check out Michael Rasmussen's

Mini Site Profits Exposed video course. Remember the

course is absolutely free, so you have nothing to

lose.


Michael believes that it's important for him to prove

himself to you before he ever asks you to buy anything

Tips on how to earn money with a home business

Everyone wants tips on how to earn money with a home based business. It never seems to amaze me that a lot of people with a work at home business are not earning some money. When I got to question a few of these people about why they are not earning any money, I found out why!

People, you have to do something to earn something! Just because you have joined a MLM or affiliate program, don’t think just by sitting back you will earn some money. NOT TRUE!!! So I have tried to make it easy on these people by coming up with the necessary things you need to do to earn money from home.

If you honestly do these things, and still don’t make any money then maybe a home business is not for you. But you need to be honest about this and put out the effort.

1. When you first start with a work at home business, set out at least an hour a day devoted to your business.

2. Spend the first day advertising your business on the free classified websites, there are literally thousands of these sites to advertise on.

3. If you have a website for your business, then spend day 2 submitting your website to all of the search engines, Yahoo, MSN, Google, AOL, etc.

4. Day 3 start submitting to ezines, this is a very good way to promote your business.

5. Day 4 start by writing an article to use in the yahoo groups. And with this article your can promote your website at the end of the article.

6. Day 5 submit your business to the various business message boards, there are lots out there that let you post an ad for your home business.

7. Day 6 you will want to start advancing up and checking for “Leads” that are interested in starting a home business. When you find a good source you will want to start emailing them. To do this you will want a good auto responder to handle the high volume of emails.

8. Day 7 you will want to start this process all over again. You can do these steps in any order, but remember persistence is the key. Spend an hour a day for the first 30 days on these 7 items. Each day promote your business in a different way.

Within 30 days you will start to see the rewards of your work that you only spent 7-10 hours a week on! Further more don’t expect to get rich overnight. The businesses offering “pie in the sky” so to speak do yourself a favor and stay away from those type of offers.

Do yourself a favor when you get involved with a work at home business. You owe it to yourself to give it an honest try. Nothing will happen, if you don’t do anything.

Jim Noel has 2 very successful online businesses that he has been operating for over a year now. Mr. Noel has the knowledge and knows how to promote and to generate a nice profit off of his 2 online businesses. If you would like to know more about 1 of his businesses, just click on the link below. If you like more information go to http://www.workingfromhomebiz.net

Create Your Own Home Business

A home business is by far the best way to support yourself if you just cannot stand working for others for less money than you need to survive. It’s also the best way to get out of a good paying job that just takes up too much of your precious short life working for someone else.

Let’s face it, you probably know someone who has a home business. Do they look happy to you? Do they complain as much about work and money as you do? Probably not. This is not to say that you should quit your job and start a home business. You should start one while you still have your job. Some people complain that this is hard and takes up too much of their free time.

In the beginning a home business is not profitable – you have to work at it like anything else. Some people eventually go back to work blaming some program or home business opportunity that wasted their time and didn’t work. Unfortunately, the odds are actually that they didn’t work hard enough and stick to their dreams. Many people allow themselves to believe that there are no legitimate home businesses. It’s easier to go to work thinking this than to let themselves truly believe that a home business is possible, profitable, or liberating. But if you truly believe there are no good home businesses, that they are all scams, then what are the thousands of people doing everyday in your hometown driving around during work hours? You know the ones. The people you see on your day off that are driving around and standing in line in places you frequent on your days off. They can’t ALL be on their days off too! You have wondered, just like I did, what it is these people do. I know you have. Many of them have their own home business. Many of the people you see at the post office who know the clerks by first name are shipping packages of goods they sold on auction at Ebay or their own websites. The cars parked in the county clerk’s office in your home town. Some are employees there, but not all of them. Many of the people coming and going from that office in your town (during business hours when everyone should be working, right?) are real estate brokers, or no money down buyers and sellers looking up local property information. Home business owners are all around you, everyday.

The home business industry is quite literally booming and is getting larger exponentially by the month. The worst thing you could ever do to yourself, that is a life-altering belief system, is let yourself believe it is all a scam or that there is no room for YOUR creativity and YOUR value as a home business owner of any kind! Take me for instance! I own my own website and I sell information, business tools for home business people who work on the internet, and services of all kinds. I work from home. I am one of those people you see during the week driving around town while you wonder what it is I do for a living. Nice to meet you!
