Thousands of Illinois resident no longer allow to represent or make a income through their "Amazon Associates Program"

This is part of the e-mail I recent received the other, as they pull the plug on many individuals income. I know its not Amazon fault, but I believe with some associate, who's income is being generated by this program.....should have a choice. Then allow what ever tax needed to be implied by choice of the associated.  I'm just saying!"

Program for well over a decade, the Amazon Associates Program has worked with thousands of Illinois residents. Unfortunately, a new state tax law signed by Governor Quinn compels us to terminate this program for Illinois-based participants. It specifically imposes the collection of taxes from consumers on sales by online retailers - including but not limited to those referred by Illinois-based affiliates like you - even if those retailers have no physical presence in the state.

We had opposed this new tax law because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive. It was supported by national retailing chains, most of which are based outside Illinois, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue. We deeply regret that its enactment forces this action.

   As a result of the new law, contracts with all Illinois affiliates of the Amazon Associates Program will be terminated and those Illinois residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, or SmallParts.com.

Going Mobile in 2011

free web site traffic and promotion



Here's an exercise for you;

Imagine that it's possible for you to earn 10 times your current annual wage. If you're earning $25,000, imagine for a moment that it's possible for you to earn $250,000, a 1,000 percent increase.

Believe in Yourself

The first reaction of most people to that exercise is to smile briefly and then to begin thinking about why it isn't possible. One man said to me, "If you knew how many years it's taken for me to get to what I'm earning today you wouldn't be suggesting that I could earn 10 times as much."

There Are No Excuses

Mark Twain once wrote that there are a thousand excuses for every failure but never a good reason. The tragedy of the average American is that whereas his or her main preoccupation seems to be money, or the lack thereof, the average person has the inherent potential to earn far more than he or she is earning currently.

Can Someone Be 10x Better?

Is the manager earning $250,000 per year ten times as smart as the manager earning $25,000? Ten times as experienced? Does he or she work 10 times harder? Of course not. None of these are physically or mentally possible, but there are people in every business earning many times more than others with the same average age, experience and intelligence.


I.Q. Doesn't Really Matter

In fact, a few years ago in New York, a thousand men and women were selected at random and tested for I.Q. Between the one having the highest I.Q. in this sample and the one with the lowest, there was a difference of only two and a half times. But between the person earning the most, who by the way, was not the one with the highest I.Q. and the one earning the least, who was not the one with the lowest I.Q., there was a difference of 100 times in income.


Here are two things you can do to start increasing your income.

First, identify the highest earning, most successful people in your field and find out what it is that they are doing differently from others who aren't doing as well. Copy them every day.
Second, set a goal to double your income over the next two or three years and then figure out what you'll have to do to achieve it. Get started!  
 

SMS vs. Email Marketing:

97% of text messages (SMS’) are read within approximately one (1) minute of receiving. Text message (SMS) marketing has an approximate response rate of 23%+. That is ten (10) times the response rate of email advertisements! On average, out of 100 marketing emails sent out, only 22% are actually read, with a response rate of less than 2%. * We have a winner! SMS hands down!

(*Information source: Direct Marketing Association/DMA 2010)

What Is SEO.....Search Engine Optimization?


   Search engine optimization (SEO) -- is the art of creating webpages that will make your site easy to find on the internet. One does this by optimizing each page of your site for search engine (Google, Yahoo & MSN etc.,) relevance (Is it related to what you say your site is about.). 


   If your site is about the Ocean, then the web content should mainly, focus on ocean topics. It is important to learn the basics of search engine optimization. Basic S.E.O. strategies include choosing target search terms (words that people will use/put into a search engine box) that your audience is looking for, creating content that utilizes these search terms, and gaining incoming links to your site (that are related to the theme & search terms of your site). 


   There are a number of free online tools, such as the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool and the Google Keyword Tool, that can help you select the best search terms for your website.


These are also known as Keywords:


   When you optimize your webpages, these pages should rank higher in a search-engine return pages (SERPs). Creating a greater likelihood of traffic (visitors) to your site. This is what you want......constant visitors.


   There are several methods and opinions about how a webpage should be optimized, with much of it depending on the type of site, it's content, purpose & competition. But in basic search-engine optimization, it relies strongly on the proper use of keywords and keyphrases that describe your sites content.


   The first place keywords should appear is in the TITLE section of the source code. They should also appear in the Meta description. Here it should be described as accurately as possible, repeating the keywords (just a couple of times). It's a good idea for each subsequent pages, to have their own unique keywords listed in they source code. 


   The page title should use one or more of these unique keywords for maximum search-engine optimization. Since these SEO rely so heavily on keywords, the most important keywords and keyphrases should be used liberally in the first few paragraphs of the content of each page. then sprinkled throughout the body. 


   The last paragraph of every page should be keyword rich, but not over done. A excellent rule of thumb is to reach for keyword density between 5-10%. Caution should be used when using keywords liberally without becoming repetitive. It can also be helpful to use bold or italics on a keyword or two, but not to excessive.

E-COMMERCE:

E-commerce (EC).......

   ....is the buying and selling of goods and services, including the transfer of funds through digital communications. The buying & selling over the internet. E-commerce also incorporates all inter-company & intra-company functions (such as marketing, finance, manufacturing, selling and negotiation) that enables commerce and e-mail, file transfer, fax, video conferencing, workflow or interaction with a remote computer. (EC) includes electronic funds transfer, smart cards, debit cards, credit cards and all other ways of doing business over the digital networks.


Internet marketer & Home based business entrepeneurs....


   ....have become leaders in educating & facilitating the growth of the internet as they pioneer new ways to support their network organizations. By providing their associates  with instant worldwide communication. It has allowed them to develop additional business through e-commerce as well as ways to build & growth their individual businesses.



What is this INTERNET MARKETING / HOME BASED INTERNET BUSINESS thing?

   Traditional marketing involves moving a product through the standard corporate structure of middle-persons from manufacturer to the consumer. All these extra hands.......wholesalerretailers, etc., earn a profit for handling the product along it way. With internet marketing/home based internet business these positions are unnecessary. The functions are simplified and the profit that would normally go to these middle-persons are instead shared by the individuals (also known as distributors, affiliate or referral marketer). It is a efficient way to distribute products and a more powerful way regular people to earn an income.


How do individuals operate in this environment?


   Through business concept called Network marketing. Where individuals create a business of their own, by building a network (LIST) of constant follower, visitors & distributors through which a company's product or service makes its way to it's end destination....the consumer!


Network marketing (NM) & Internet marketing will consist of any one or all of these internet business models


   -- Affiliate programs, Referral marketing, Direct marketing, Multi-level marketing (MLM). Which utilizes a combination of direct marketing & franchising. Typically, individuals become associates with a parent company in an independent contractor relationship. Sellers are compensated based on their sales of a product or service, as well as the sell of those they bring into their business (their down-line). Multi-level marketing has a recognized image problem because of the difficulties in making a clear distinction between a legitimate network marketing & illegal "pyramid schemes" or Ponzi schemes.


   Nonetheless, many NM/MLM businesses operate legitimately in all fifty U.S. states and more than 100 foreign countries. In a legitimate MLM company, commissions are only earned on the sale of products or service to the end consumer who, may or may not be a distributor. You will build a network in a network marketing holding company that represents hundreds of network marketing companies, which gives you access to many high quality products at wholesale pricing and keeps your network diversified. This protects you from downturns and fluctuations in the different markets. All purchases funnel back into the holding company's massive computer systems, which scans for group volumes and pays you a weekly or monthly bonus. These bonuses & incomes earn from sales can be automatically deposited into your electronic bank accounts (Paypal, Alertpay,etc.,).




   Using today's internet technology, social media networking site & other mediums to build your list of contacts to buy, sell and attract new distributors using electronic marketing through the internet. Each distributor will have their own E-marketing place with real time video, audio and text marketing tactics. A true multi-media show, which can be sent directly to prospective clients through the internet or loaded on a webpage or auto-responder for easy access.

   Fortune 500 & New York stock exchange companies such as AVON, with world wide sales in excess of $5.5 billion - through 3.4 million representatives in 139 countries. Other major player are in the Health & Nutritional(wellness)industry but more & more technology based companies (video e-mail, VoIP, phone service, etc.,) are beginning to become exclusive to the network marketing industry. Simply because of it's unique ability to rapidly penetrate a wider segment of targeted consumer marketplace. Network marketing has even pioneered a number of today's most successful & vital products & services. 


Word of mouth plus the POWER of the Internet!


   How often do you recommend a great movie, a good book, an excellent restaurant or even a brand name product you feel is a superb value? All the time, right! And, yet, have any of these companies ever paid you for the powerful, persuasive "advertising" you did on their behalf? This is what Networking marketing/Affiliate, referral marketing is really about.



   You need customers who believe in you & your product. You must tell your story to people so they'll take action. Advertising/marketing was the traditional approach (newspapers, flyers, TV commercials . The reason why business' spend 20%-50% of their entire income/profit on advertising is without it, they'd go out of business.


There's a better way, a new sheriff in town.


   And its name is Word-of-mouth advertising also known as Affiliate/Referral marketing. People believe a trusted friend's recommendation when they wouldn't even listen to a $50 million ad campaign. Network marketing is simply a systematic approach that harness the awesome power of word-of-mouth advertising....and asks the question, "Why not get paid for something you do so naturally." Now, team that up with the POWERFUL tool of the internet....Internet marketing! The use of the internet to advertise and sell merchandise or services. This involves use of websites and e-mails to inform customers about a product, answer their question and accept their order directly through electronic medium.


Multi-level marketing businesses let you earn money based off the products you sell, and sometimes a percentage of the cost of those products sold by people you refer.


You want your business to……..


- sell something in exchange for capital

- product or service you earn money from on actual sale of a products, not just from endless recruiting of other people.
- Sell to an end user someone who wants the product or service only as a USER (the consumer). He is spending without expecting a financial gain.

Do understand, that for the serious entrepreneur, one knows that this is not going to get you rich or wealthy overnight nor even next week, let alone this month. It is an on-going event that requires constant attention, building, improvement topped with plenty of patients.


   See working online is not just about making money. It's about building relationships, it's about building that foundation. One also has to have the knowledge of managing that cash-flow, to be able to create wealth. The secret of all financially successful people is simply that they are organized and do not waste time. Think about it. Review your own activities, and then see if you can't find a couple of extra hours in each day for more constructive accomplishments.

So that I can bond & be as great of a parent as I can possibly be.


   You will have to be motivated, plain & simple. Motivation & having a real solid commitment will keep you pushing onward when times seems slow.  When the work you're doing doesn't seem to be productive. Because in this industry especially as you start, you will do a lot of work now (up front) that may seem like you are not accomplishing anything but in fact you really are just one more step closer in a long list of task that HAS to be performed, so that later on with the latest internet technology your business can become more automated.


There are over one & half billion internet user worldwide as of 2009!
