Want Your Internet Business To Be Taken Seriously?

Do you want to be taken seriously?

Then use a business email address. I sell business tools to business people. So why is it that so many of those business people use Yahoo or AOL or GMail for their email accounts?

I get more than I want proposals for joint ventures, and a decent proportion of those are from supposed business people who aren’t using email addresses off their business domain.

That one thing is so simple to do, and instantly enhances your credibility.

It also ensures that if a reply is made, then you’ll get it.

I’ve no idea of the number of bounces I’ve had replying to questions by my customers and potential customers. I also know there’s a high proportion of people who never get my first email, because I get plenty of “Second Request:” emails from people who didn’t get my initial reply.

Why didn’t they get it? Because they’re using either free or their ISP email addresses.

And the providers of those kinds of email addresses are notoriously bad at dealing with email.

Pretty much the only way you’re going to guarantee to receive an email is to use your own email address on your own domain.

Think…

How many emails have you sent out and never had a reply to?

All those emails missing, because they either didn’t make it outside of your mail providers network, or the reply didn’t make it back in.

And there’s no way of knowing whether you were snubbed or the email was just lost.

Now compound that problem by the fact that some of those emails were also sent to the same kinds of email addresses.

Yahoo to AOL?Â – Almost no chance of you ever receiving a reply back you can count on, and vice versa.

You can stop this madness instantly by just using your web control panel to create a new email address for you, and then setting it up in your mail client.

Problem solved.

Go do it now.

Do it as part of taking action to improve your life and your internet business.

Ask Me A Question

I’ve decided to do an occasional spot where you can ask me any question you like about internet business.

But because it can sometimes be time consuming to give a decent answer, I thought I’d put a proviso on it.

Comments for this blog post are turned off, so you can’t ask me questions directly.

To qualify for an answer, you can only ask me a question on your own blog by making a post and then doing a trackback to this one within your post.

Use this as your trackback link:-

Ask Me A Question

Use the phrase “internet business” in your blog question. I’ll then see the question appear in my admin panel, and I can write a whole blog post answering you.

If you don’t have a blog, you should. By my use of this method, it will dissuade people who aren’t serious about their internet business.

If you are serious, you’ll have a blog.

Feel free to ask me anything about online business. I’ll answer the best questions.

You have until Friday 29th February to ask me any questions, and I’ll post my answers week beginning Monday 3rd March.

If you’d like to ask me lots of questions any time you want, then join my email coaching starting on the 1st April. You can find details in an earlier post.

This Is Just Beautiful

Following on from my post on Saturday about someone unsubscribing because they missed an email (which is a deliciously ironic case of cutting his nose off to spite his face), I also received yet another unsubscribe.

Why?

Here’s the reason he gave.

“I think charging a fee to read a blog post is outrageous.”

Now there’s a guy who isn’t using his brain, and also being completely hypocritical to boot.

The mailing list he’s on is for my digital delivery product, SmartDD.

Therefore by association, he must be a provider of either software or ebooks, or information of some kind. So he’s a vendor of information, he sells info products.

But, he thinks it’s outrageous that someone else should want to charge for information.

I just checked the size of the blog post I made about my techniques in rising to page 1 in the search engines that I’m now charging for. It’s 18,308 characters and comes to 3,387 words.

I’ve paid $47 for reports that were a third of the size of that, and nowhere near as valuable.

Prediction: He will never make any substantial money online.

Why? In his core, he believes information holds no value. If he has no respect for information, then he’ll never appreciate its true worth.

I hesitate to write this, but… what a loser.

If he doesn’t appreciate it, then that feeling will come across to his customers. He’ll be the guy who believes the lowest price always wins.

Consequently, he’ll never make any money, and never be independent.

But that’s okay. Â Only 2% of people ever do apparently.Â 98% would rather complain, make excuses and do nothing.

2% Own All The Worlds Wealth

I remember reading a report just over 12 months ago that said that 2% of the worlds population owned more than 50% of the total world wealth, and that people in the top 5% owned pretty much most of it.

I also read a short report on a study by (I think, not sure) the London School of Economics that said if all the estimated world wealth were to be divided equally, then it would amount to about £10,000 ($20,000) for every man woman and child alive at the time.

The report went on to say that if the money were actually given out in that way, ie level the playing field for everybody, then in 10 years or less, 2% of the worlds population would own the best part of it.

Stunning isn’t it? Even if it’s not completely accurate, it’s certainly food for thought.

Why would that be though?

My guess is that it’s because only 2% ever actually do anything to achieve that. The rest are too concerned with “entertaining” themselves and occupying their minds with gossip and drivel.

I used to be like that. I said to one of my offline friends just a few months ago how I thought I’d been walking around in a foggy dream all my life. And how things are clearer to me now than they’ve ever been.

I know he didn’t get it.

To be fair, I think he became concerned about my mental health when I said it. But I believe that’s because he’s so used to living the way of life that 98% of people live, that anything else just isn’t “normal”.

I know for a fact that when people ask me what I do for a living, they just don’t understand. It does not compute.

They’ve been programmed so well by their parents and by observing the social proof of all the other sheep in the world doing the same things, that they have little chance of ever becoming wealthy themselves.

Here’s what I believe is the fundamental difference between the 2% and the 98%.

The 2% watch, think, learn, and then they act on what they’ve learned.

The 98% watch and watch and watch.

Have you watched and taken action? Have you taken any steps towards building or even starting your internet business today?

Or do you just prefer to watch?

If you’ve decided to take action, then why not join my email coaching?

My current coaching programme is full, and is the best deal I’ll ever do for anyone. Those 10 people have access to me by Skype to ask for assistance any time they like, and they get a weekly call in where we cover a business topic.

They also get all my business tools and processes for life for free. I have a lot of new software coming out this year and you’ll start to see some of it this coming few weeks.

It was the ultimate deal, and they acted on it. I’ll never repeat it.

But it’s not too late to get the next best deal.

In April, I’ll be taking on just 10 people for an alternative coaching programme. It’s not as good as the first one, but still incredible value.

This new coaching programme will be by email only, Monday to Friday. Again, you’ll get all my business tools and processes for free as they’re released, for as long as you remain on the programme.

You can ask me any question about setting up and running an internet business you like, and I’ll answer it for you.

The cost for the programme will be $300 / month, and under my guidance you may well be earning your full time income from home in 12 months or less. There’s no way I can guarantee that, because you may not take action, but I know that it’s achievable if you apply yourself.

Join my email coaching programme.

There are 10 slots with 9 people already on the waiting list from a post I made three weeks ago.

When I announce the opening, it will be first come first served.

The first 10 people on that list to subscribe to a $300 / month payment will get a slot. Anyone else will have their money refunded.

I may do further coaching by email at a later date, but that will be a $10,000 / year subscription.

If you’re serious about working from home and running your own internet business, then fill in the form below to stand a chance of getting one of the slots.
