Every civilization has a rite of passage for those in their group that move from “student” to a contributing member of the group able to fend for themselves. You find it in the martial arts, in the working world, in the medical world (look up “white coat ceremony”) and in the animal kingdom!
There comes a point when the “apprentice” learns his craft and then launches on his own …but with his own unique style …his own unique product. He has relied heavily on his “tutor”, but now he/she is ready to take those skills and try them in the “real world”.
Today is THAT DAY for one of my apprentices. Actually it is a partnership of two gentlemen working together and they are having their first webinar today, March 30 at 9pm (Eastern). Their names are Greg Weldy and Joel Plangman and they are sharing “How to cope with an aging parent – without going broke or crazy!”
This is timely information that all of us should know – because taking care of our aging parents involves so much of our time, money and emotions! Not at the point where you are caring for an aging parent yet? Better to know something about this stuff NOW, than to wait until it is right at your door step…
So congrats to my apprentices, Greg and Joel! I would consider it a personal favor if you dropped by the webinar just to say hello and see their presentation. Who knows? If you pay attention, you may see some marketing lessons that you can apply to your online business. After all, they have been working very closely with me and will apply those lessons!

Recruit Some Secret Agents to Build Your Business!
by Stephen Beck
When you think of the perfect business, what comes to mind? For most people, the perfect business runs itself. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could automate your website so it would sell your products even while you sleep? Well, you can!
One day, along comes a visitor to your site. She sees an invitation to your newsletter, and though she is already flooded with e-mails, she is intrigued.
“Hey, I like the way this guy thinks. He makes a lot of sense. I’d like to read that newsletter and see what else he has to say.
Autoresponder number 1 has worked.
(This is called a contact management online autoresponder, but don’t let the big name scare you!)
As your visitor reads the newsletter, she appreciates your honest evaluation of your products. She sees something that’s perfect for her, and decides to buy it.
Immediately after she makes her purchase, she gets an e-mail. Shes delighted to learn that she has received an added bonus, a free gift with her purchase.
Autoresponder number 2 has done his job.
The following week, a third auto responder generates an e-mail for your customer. She’s happy that you have taken the time to ask how she enjoys the product, the service, and the value. She is asked for a testimonial that you can share with others on your website which she gladly e-mails back.
Autoresponder number 3 has done its job.
Each week your customer gets another email helping them with the product and explaining things the product can do. The emails also give your customer tips on how to use the product to expand their business or how to make more beautiful scrapbooks or how to save money on their next purchase or how to build a free website without pay…or whatever your product is about.
This helps keep your customer happy and reduces the likelihood that they will return your product. Remember, many people will not even use your product (especially information products), unless you encourage them to do so.
Autoresponders #4 – #10 have done their jobs.
Of course, clients that are interested in a $10 e-book may also be interested in your more expensive home study course. Perhaps there are other opportunities for cross marketing. By tracking the preferences of each client, and speaking directly to their preferences and desires, you can increase sales.
Your customer will get personalized e-mails, recommending products similar to the ones that have already been purchased. She sees the benefits, and has been looking for this product for ages. Thank goodness you just brought it to her attention.
She clicks on the link and buys the related product. Autoresponder number 11 has done its job.
I hope you are seeing the value of my secret agents, autoresponders #1 – #11. They work while I am doing other things-like developing product, spending time with my family and yes, even while I am sleeping.
Autoresponders – they are a wonderful crew, and a big reason why we are enjoying another record breaking year at FamilyEBiz.com. If only I could take them out for dinner to celebrate!

Stephen and Kerry Recommends
I’m taking up to 12 individuals under my wing and teaching them all they need to know to create their own Internet money machines, revealing absolutely everything I know.
That means if you qualify we’ll “partner” and team up to profit from my next blockbuster Internet idea (or yours, if you prefer)!
Steve & Kerry are The Couple Next Door who accidentally stumbled upon secrets to a successful income on the internet. They teach families how to improve their bottom line with webinars and creating information products.
They have created a loyal following who rave about their direct marketing strategies and their “tell it like it is” approach. If you liked today’s issue, you’ll love Steve & Kerry’s real online business products to help you create a business that suits your lifestyle.
Never thought about using autoresponders in all those ways before. I think I need to brainstorm ways that I can incorporate an autoresponder to really work for me in my business.
