Teaching families to succeed in their own businesses.

From my experience, there are a lot of different ways to make money on the internet. It takes some knowledge of how to set up an online business, but after you do that, you can really do well. One method that has worked for me is what I call “one off products.” What I mean by this is you take the knowledge in your head, hold a seminar or webinar, record that presentation, and then sell it over and over again.
You can do this, too. Just follow these six simple steps:
1.) Pick a familiar subject.
It should be something you can talk about for at least one hour, and I am convinced that everyone has a topic like that, whether it is pie making, photography, or automobile repair. No matter the topic, keep it simple because your goal is to quickly put out some good, helpful content that will generate cash flow.
2.) Create an outline.
Let me give you a simple way to do this. Get out a sheet of paper, and write your topic in the middle of it. Then brainstorm some subtopics for your main topic. Write these down and see if you can come up with two good details about each one of these subtopics. You need maybe eight to ten subtopics with two details for each one. Once you have those, you have an outline for sixty-minute presentation. How easy is that?
3.) Connect with a free teleseminar service.
You can find on to use for free and will allow you to host up to 250 people at one time. When I first started my online business, I could only host 100, so this is a great improvement. Remember to record your seminar and download it at the end.
4.) Invite people to your seminar.
But maybe you are wondering who you should invite? Start with the people you know. Send out a notice to your website, blogs, and email lists. Leave no stone unturned. Get the word out about the amazing, informative seminar you will be hosting.
5.) Sell seats to your seminar.
My friend Jim Bob Howard showed me this great site called Eventbrite. It is also free to use. How it works is your customers pay Eventbrite, and then the site pays you. The clincher is you do not pay for their service until people pay you by buying seats. This frees you from a lot of administrative headache.
6.) Record your teleseminar.
Do it one time, and then use it over and over and over. You can sell the recording as an audio CD. You can have the recording transcribed and sell it as an Ebook. You can sell it together, the audio and transcription, for more money. You can combine one off products into a home-study course. There are really an endless steam of options you can come up with to make more money off of your one recording.
So what are you waiting for? Why not set up an online business today?

Traffic is knocking. In fact, he is pounding his sweaty little
fists on your front door and asking your mom, “Can Johnny
come out to play?”
And what are you doing? Sitting inside working on boring homework
that won’t matter one whit 10 years from now? Or worse, watching
reruns of the Andy Griffith show!
Get out of the house and let’s play!
Terry Wygal is hosting a FREE traffic series (notice I said
series, not just a one-time teleseminar!) and has allowed me to
invite you.

speakers …NO PITCHING ALLOWED! (That means we can’t sell
stuff!)
Think about it …7 of the Nations Very Best Lead Generation

their high price paying Master Mind students.
If you have ever wanted to be a true fly on the wall and listen
to the conversations that experts have about what they are really
doing then you don’t want to miss these training calls.
Here’s the One Rule – NO Pitching Anything!
Terry wanted Pure Content – Real Meat and Potatoes training that

area and is knows as the Laziest Wholesaler around.
and on and on and on…

How To Max Out The Conference Line For Your Webinar
A Personal Message from Steve & Kerry
I didn’t try sending an html ezine this week since last week I asked 10,000 to unsubscribe. After my foolish mistake, I embarked upon a series of technical mistakes, including 6000 from my own list. Thank goodness Steve knew someone who could recover my deleted list and they were back online the next day.
Do you ever have days like those?
How do you react?
I’ve learned to laugh at myself. A good dose of laughter calms down the entire household. I also realize that I can’t use my mistakes as excuses. I don’t use my mistakes as an excuse to quit my projects or turn the other way. I learn from my mistakes and keep rockin’.
If you are using your mistakes as excuses to not take action & succeed, you are paralyzing yourself and those around you. Learn from your mistakes and take the next step forward.

ps….next week we’ll announce our Gold Contest Winner…

Featured Article: Webinars: How To Max Out The Conference Line For Your Webinar
by Stephen Beck
As a promoter of real home business opportunities, the webinars you host need to have people on them. How do you promote them properly? One of the best ways to promote is to combine email marketing with a webinar registration page so that you can maximize the amount of people on the call.
To start you want to space out your emails at least a week ahead of the event. They should go out over a period of time prior to the actual date of the webinar. To send these emails, use a broadcast blast in your autoresponder program. This allows your entire list to get the email at one time.
If I am sending out a broadcast here is an example of what I might say, “Hi, I will be hosting a webinar next week. Here is the dial in number.” Although you are offering a free webinar, you still have to sell it like it cost money. That is why I use a registration page and get their name and email.
Another key component to work from home part time with webinars is writing good copy. On the email or webpage, make sure there are bullet points that talk about the topics of the call so that people will want to listen to it.
A good strategy is to provide a list of topics that will be covered. If your webinar is about “The 5 ways to earn money at home in 30 days or less,” include that on the website. This way you build up a sense of curiosity and desire with your prospects. Here is another example:
“How to Think & Grow Rich For Internet Marketing Online Business Opportunities.”
“The keys to making sure your business does not become a casualty in this recession and instead becomes the next great American success story.” This illustration is just an example of what you can write on your website. It does not have to be exactly worded the way it is worded here. What you want to do is just figure out what works best for you and your business and make sure that your website is worded and communicates that message accordingly. Otherwise you will not get the results you want.
“Why some people pay full retail and fatten the pockets of their car salesman while others are able to get an incredible bargain for themselves and their family on their car purchase.”
The idea when you work from home part time doing webinars is you want to help the reader want to know more information. You can get an example of this by visiting www.fastinfoproducts.com. They do a great job at crafting powerful interest building bullet points.
Now in your emails, you can also use bullet points as well so you can get those visitors to go to your registration page. As an example, 7 days from the event you mail out a broadcast letting them know about the webinar with a link to your registration page. 2 days later, you announce it again. On the day you actually have the webinar you want to send out one final email. You can say “Hey, just wanted to remind you we will be having our teleseminar in 6 hours.”
This is how to use emails to promote webinars to work from home part time and get potential clients on my call.

Steve & Kerry Recommend: 7 Secrets to Attracting All the Clients You Want
2009 is definitely a year of winners and losers. On the one hand I am both experiencing and witnessing INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATIONS in my own business and the businesses of my friends and clients.
Yet at the same time, I’m hearing tales of woe – clients cancelling, lost business, budgets drying up -and many people STRUGGLING to get the consistent paying clients and business they need and want. Many people are complaining that what USED to work is no longer working
So what’s the difference between those who SOAR and those who STRUGGLE?
My friend Bernadette Doyle is ready to tell you, because she’s been studying the differences between those who SOAR and those who STRUGGLE and is going to reveal her findings in this special TWO-PART TELESEMINAR called ‘7 Secrets to Attracting All the Clients You Want’ that’s coming up on Tuesday June 30 and Thursday July 2 (Yep, she’s got so much info to share on this topic I can’t fit it in on one call!)
Kerry & I traveled to Ireland last May to speak at Bernadette’s event. It was one of the best events and most content I’ve heard shared in a weekend. Bernadette always over-delivers. Well, I’ve made special arrangements for you to attend this teleseminar series as my guest!

Featured Article: Webinars: The Greatest Untapped Secret On The Internet
Do you want to know my number one secret to my success on the internet? It is an incredible tool called a webinar. Webinars are basically an online seminar. I use webinars to get more sales, get them day in and day out, and get them automatically. By using webinars effectively, you can dominate your niche and reap the rewards. That is how people sell tremendous amounts of products and services on the internet.
Both offline and online business are using webinars. Video is here to stay. A webinar is really just controlled television. It gives people information in the way they are used to finding it, which is on the television.
The powerful thing about webinars is that you can sell one to many, instead of selling one to one. That is a key part of webinars. This also frees up your time to do more of what you enjoy.
Imagine getting people on a webinar and only spending your marketing – direct marketing, direct mail, or phone calls, or appointment setters – on the people who have actually raised their hand and hung in with you for a sixty minute webinar. That would be a pretty big pre-qualification.
Webinars allow you to get in front of a lot of people, having a 1-100, 1-500 or even 1-1000 ratio. The location does not matter. You can reach people all over the world! In essence, you can get people to raise their hand about your topic, and then spend your marketing effort and dollars on them.
One of the greatest things about webinars is that you can get the attention of your potential customers and keep it as long as necessary to make the sale. This is because webinars are very interactive. With webinars, you can create an event and give them a reason to buy now, as opposed to tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or even next year.
Without a doubt, webinars are an incredible tool and worthy of much more attention than they get. Webinars have really transformed my business and I truly believe that they have the potential to transform yours.

When using teleseminars to promote legitimate home businesses, you want lots of people on the call. So how do you get more people on the call? You do it by combining promotion emails with good web copy both in the emails and on a teleseminar registration page so the maximum number of people will participate.
The first step I take is to send out 3 emails to promote the event. For example, if I am doing a teleseminar next week, I will promote the teleseminar using a broadcast email. This is not like the follow up emails in my autoresponder. Everybody on my list gets the broadcast email all at one time.
What should go in a promotion email? Here is an example, “Hello, next week I will be holding a teleseminar. The phone number to dial in is as follows.” Even though the teleseminar is free, promote it like there was a charge for it. This is why a registration website to obtain their name and email makes sense.
To promote a teleseminar when you work from home part time, use good copywriting. There should be bullet points on your emails and web pages that highlight what topics are going to be discussed.
A good strategy is to provide a list of topics that will be covered. If your teleseminar is about “The 5 ways to earn money at home in 30 days or less,” include that on the website. This way you build up a sense of curiosity and desire with your prospects. Here is another example:
“7 keys to maximizing the savings on your car and the role each one plays.”
“The keys to making sure your business does not become a casualty in this recession and instead becomes the next great American success story.” This illustration is just an example of what you can write on your website. It does not have to be exactly worded the way it is worded here. What you want to do is just figure out what works best for you and your business and make sure that your website is worded and communicates that message accordingly. Otherwise you will not get the results you want.
“The 5 Traffic Generation Strategies They Do Not Want You To Know About because if you did know, you would cut into their profit streams and start making all of this money for yourself.”
As you can see when you work from home part time, leverage is key and well-written copy is one of the best forms of leverage you can employ when you sell your knowledge online. A great example of a website that does this well is www.fastinfoproducts.com. Check out their bullet points.
The emails used to promote the teleseminars need to create enough interest so that the reader clicks through to the registration webpage. In the first email you can promote the registration page a week from the event. You can promote it again 2-3 days later. Finally, you can send a final reminder email on the day you are hosting the teleseminar so that if they forget about it, they will remember to make sure they get on.
When using these techniques to promote teleseminars, you will be amazed at what will happen to your income when you work from home part time in this business.
