Do you…

  • forget to send birthday cards?
  • write thank you cards, but not mail them because you don’t have a stamp?
  • want to thank your clients & customers for their business but don’t have a system to send the cards?
  • need to send birthday gifts?
  • need to send thank you’s for graduation gifts?
  • need to thank people for the referrals they send to your business?
  • have a system to send gifts to your best clients?
  • think of family & friend during the day and want to reach out to say “I’m thinking of you”?
  • have cards in your home that are missing part of the address on the envelope?

There are so many reasons to send cards, both personal & professional reasons. Unfortunately, you don’t have a process or system to send heartfelt cards easily & quickly. You have lost the art of sending heartfelt messages in a card because you use email & texting. However, cards are the perfect solution to reaching out & touching those you love and those who help you.

On Tuesday, June 7, 2011 I will share the easiest way to send REAL cards in the REAL mail to act on your promptings each & every day. You know you should send a thank you card, tell your client how important they are to your business, let your friends & family know you are thinking of them. It is so EASY when I show you how to send cards for less than $1 each. That’s right, less than you can get at the Dollar Store.

“Sending Cards Is The

EASIEST Way To Get A

Check In The Mail

Or

Gain FREEDOM To Give Back!”

After I discuss how you can send cards for less than $1, I will show you how you can SAVE 5% on all your cards & gifts, as well as receive a commission on your friends & family’s cards. I’ll also discuss:

  • how you can get a “Mailbox Money” . . . money in your mailbox even when you are playing
  • the FREEDOM you can have with a some extra money at the end of each month
  • a 3-year plan to have your own business up & running
  • how to get a check in the mail at the end of each month
  • freedom to make your own decisions, to give back to society, to minister to others, to spend more time with your family!

Finally, we are off to Waco.  During the 1/2 hour drive, I review my Appreciation Marketing presentation that I will give at a local networking lunch this Thursday.  I also compose an affiliate email for our affiliates to use as they promote this Thursday’s webinar.  We arrive in Waco and the entire team eats dinner together and spent the night before the matches.

Since Hunter’s match is not until 11:30am, I awake and read my Bible.  Steve & Hunter are still asleep, so I set up a few affiliate accounts.  I also send the affiliates sample emails & tweets/fb messages.  Respond to some team members emails to help them get their Send Out Cards business off the ground & running.

Breakfast at the hotel.  When we return to the room, I research our upcoming trip to Armand Live in Orlando.  Hunter decided to go with us so we are staying an extra day in Orlando to do something fun.  I find that we can fly out on Tuesday for a cheaper price, and we’ll have Monday for fun in Orlando.

Time for the tennis match.  We pack up our bags and head to the courts.  We enjoyed watching Hunter play.  After the match, we eat lunch with his friends’ families.  We have a couple of hours until the girls matches, so we head to Starbucks.  We might as well take advantage of an extra hour to get some work done.

Here in Starbucks I order several business books from Amazon that have been on my wish list.  They’ll be delivered in 2 days with my Prime Free Shipping.  We have a half hour until the matches.  So, I’ll be outlining Thursday’s webinar so I can write emails 2 & 3.  Better quit writing this entry and finish my work.

Why am I sharing this?

When you use your time wisely and stay focused, you can get lots of work done in short time periods.  Whether those those time periods are on the road traveling with your family or in between homeschool sessions or during your kids’ naps, you must set your priorities.

Keep a list of 5 things you must get done each day. If you list more than 5 you won’t get any of them done.  When you have a 1/2 hour, pull up your list and work on the first task until it is done.  That’s what I did yesterday morning and this morning.  All I have left on my list is to write emails 2 & 3 today.  Then, my day will have been successful.

What 5 things will you get done today?

We’ve been watching many homeschool families struggle this year, so we’ve planned 2 free webinars to help you make it to the end of this year. You might be wondering what I’m talking about, so let me get straight to the point.

Many homeschool families are struggling financially and you may relate to one of these scenarios

- Your spouse lost his job

- You are working a minimum wage job to pay for the groceries

- You are “over your head in credit card debt” because it’s the only way to buy groceries & pay the bills.

- You no longer have a retirement account because it took a nose-dive

- You have monthly bills, but no income to pay them

- You have to work part time to make ends meet each month

- Your investments have tanked

These are just a few of the stories we have heard recently so we want to show some ways you can get out of debt and create a residual income that comes in each & every month.

An income that you can do in your part time, while homeschooling your children.

This week and next week, we’ll hold two separate webinars to outline two different models you can follow to generate a side income from home. Feel free to join us for one or both webinars.

Both webinars are ways our family continues to make money each & every day – money that pays our groceries, utility bills, with a little left for savings!

1. “How to Make A Living Through Giving”

I’ll be sharing my favorite way to make extra money during Thanksgiving & Christmas time, while helping others at the same time. Whether you want to make $500 or $5000 by the end of 2010, you can follow this model!

ps. I’d feel irresponsible if I didn’t share this information with you – knowing I had a solution but not sharing it with you. That’s why we are holding 2 back-to-back webinars.

pps. Bonus Idea: Our kids are involved in both of these methods. Feel free to let your kids join us for these workshops. Gather around the computer and everyone can hear the strategies themselves.

A Personal Message From Stephen and Kerry

We just got back from our London trip and it is taking me awhile to get back in the swing of life. All of our kids, including our son-in-law, came with us overseas. As our kids get older, I’m reminded how quickly they grow up. Our teenage son, Hunter, is the only one living in our home, so we value the times we spend together, as well as special trips with each other. I’m also reminded of what matters most in life…our relationships with each other. Although I enjoy our business and the trips we take, spending time with our kids and keeping the communication lines open is so much more important…and much more fun.

Are you so busy in your life that you don’t enjoy the ones you love? Do you share a meal together daily so you can enjoy each other’s accomplishments? That’s what is important in life, so be sure you spend time with your children before they grow up & leave your home. Don’t get so busy with your business that you overlook the most important relationships in your life.

How to Start An Online Busines E-book

by Stephen Beck

Budding entrepreneurs should learn how to start an online business with e-books. When you sell e-books, there is no inventory to stock, and no shipping fees. This is an easy way to create an e-business.

Selling e-books online is a great way to start your business. The information in this article will keep customers coming back, providing you a steady income even after the first e-book has been purchased. Dont just sell an e-book for $37 one-time; customers who pay you month after month provide an exceptional income!

Develop a group of customers, all paying monthly, using “forced continuity”. Let me explain. When a visitor buys your e-book, they automatically receive a free 30 day membership to your club (a value of, lets say, $20). Of course, club members get great bonuses – perhaps an online membership site, or a monthly audio club for CDs.

At the end of 30 days, their credit card will be automatically charged for the following month. They will remain members until they choose to unsubscribe.

To summarize, you will get $37 for your e-book, plus another $40 for two months of membership dues. The best case scenario is you keep them happy and they stay with you forever and ever and ever. So that $37 e-book sale may have become $300 in membership sales – just because they stayed with you in your membership club.

If asked, most customers are reluctant to join clubs. However, they just cant resist a free trial. Tell them that the 30 day trial is free, and their card will be charged afterwards. They have 30 days to enjoy all the valuable benefits that you can offer them. Some will cancel, but many will stay with you for a long period.

Using forced continuity can make selling your e-book a much easier task. You sell only one e-book, yet you continue to collect payments each month. By learning how to start an online business with e-books, you can take your business to greater success.

A Personal Message From Stephen and Kerry

I Finished Work Early Today…

It’s 3pm and I’m taking off!

Do I still have emails to answer? Yes. Do I still have a sales letter to write? You bet! Do I still have a web page to check for mistakes, broken links and upload to my server? Yes!

But all that can wait, because I am taking my lovely wife of 25 years downtown to sip some wine. There is this great little wine bistro that serves difficult to find wines from all over the world. And after a long day of work, I just want to sit back, sip a little Cabernet Sauvignon and visit with my wife!

After all, that’s why I chose this crazy world on online business.

Yes, I work hard. But when I’m done, I’m done. And while we may visit a little bit about business this afternoon, it will be mostly “big picture” stuff. Where do we see ourselves in 5 years? What will it look like when all of the kids are out of the house? How many mission trips do we want to take next year?

I love working with my wife in an online business. I didn’t enjoy it as much in my remodeling business. Too much stress! But in my online business, I have a lot less headaches and make a lot more money! So, make a goal right now to take off early one day this month. Then take your child, friend or spouse out on the town and do some “big picture” thinking. Because “big picture” thinking leads to big time paychecks!

Find Products to Sell Online

by Stephen Beck

Once you are ready to start an online business, you may feel overwhelmed by the challenge of finding unique products to sell. You don’t want the same old stuff everyone else has – you want to succeed in your own niche. Here’s how to plan your sales for maximum profit.

Offer products that are in demand and offer you a higher markup. Figure out how to make sales online using higher-end products. Let’s use the home-schooling market as an example. Now, I can sell a single book and make, say, $5. But what if I could offer an entire course, one with a $50 markup? Suddenly, my profits are ten times higher, without any extra work! Here’s how you can increase sales and make more profits from your online business:

Step 1: Choose a high demand homeschool product that has a high markup. Of course it has to be something you can resell or be paid an affiliate commission.

Step 2: Write a review on the product. By writing a review, you become known as the residential home-schooling expert. People will seek out your advice, so create a one-page website for your review.

Step 3: Do your keyword research and optimize your one page web site for those keywords by using Wordtracker. Then add an email capture box and a shopping cart to your one page website.

Step 4: Write articles, lots of them. Submit them to article directories on the internet. Of course, you will have included your keywords in the title, body, and even the bio at the end. This gives your customers lots of backward links to help them find your website, while increasing your rankings in search engine results.

Step 5: Find forums which discuss that product. Become the forum expert with a tactful link to your site in the signature

It takes time to complete these steps, though you don’t need much money to get started. Following these steps is the best way to build a successful online business.

Remember to keep the big picture in focus so you choose products with high markups and higher prices. Before you know it, your bottom line will increase and you’ll have great products in a somewhat difficult niche.

Let’s face it. … It’s tough being a mom and working at home. You’re always getting interrupted by the phone or the kids. There’s laundry piled high on the dining room table. The kitchen floor needs mopping and the dirty dishes are still sitting in the sink.

And you’re trying to run a profitable business from home ?!? Right!!!

For 24 years I’ve been trying to juggle the duties every Mom has…family, house, marriage. In 1998, I opened a small business with my kids so I added work to all my other responsibilities. At that time my kids were 5, 8, 10. How could I do it? And, why in the world did I decide to open a small curriculum store?

Steve & I had discussed the importance of giving our kids entrepreneurial skills so they could have the freedom to make their own choices as an adult. A part-time store seemed like the perfect answer. We also wanted to help homeschool moms in our area.

So, the kids & I opened one of our businesses, Curriculum Connection…

And I had to figure out…

  • How to get customers to the store
  • How to keep our house clean
  • How to raise our kids
  • How to have our marriage wonderful
  • While keeping inventory, doing the books, and promoting our products.

I had to learn how to be super-mom QUICKLY! But, I am not a Super-Mom…and neither is anyone else!So, I started looking for some cool tips on how to make money with our businesses and get organized at home with my family without stressing out or going insane.

In addition to my own tips that I will share with you, I’ve interviewed other mom-preneurs who are successful working at home. These are some invaluable tips for any woman trying to make a living from home.

http://www.GirlsGetUpAndGo.com

BUT, most importantly…in “Girls Get Up & Go”, I reveal how you can use EASILY and QUICKLY

Get started online

Get organized at home

Get your family on board

. . . . WITHOUT going insane!

Here are just a few ideas you’ll discover:

  • The best strategy to get things done & even take breaks through the day, as you work & take care of your family.
  • How to get more work done than you have time to do
  • How to get the support you need when you are a single mom
  • Find out how to work with your hubby and spend time with him without always talking about work…In other words, how to have fun like you did before you started working at home.
  • How to balance working and family, without losing your mind.
  • How to encourage your spouse whether you work together or not
  • Best way to get started TODAY
  • How to set the pace for the long haul of making loads of money the next 10 years

Yes, the water is really that clear & blue!

As you may already know, we are distributors for several companies (homeschooling & business products).  One of which is Send Out Cards (SOC).  Last year SOC had a challenge and we were in the top 100 to earn the challenge.  In fact this was a brand new distributorship for us and we got enough people started with SOC to win a trip to Cancun.  You could do the same thing by this time 2011.  Lee & Sherry Rushing (in pic below) won the trip in 3 months.  If you want to see what we’ve been doing take a look at the pics.

If you want to know how you can win a trip next year, as well as how you can make residual income monthly, go watch this video.

http://www.SendOutCards/becks

You’ll discover how you can start making $120, $170 or $220 each time you get a new card sender set up.  You’ll also make REAL residual income each month.  It’s called “Mailbox Money”…money that shows up in your mailbox whether or not you are working.  In fact, we made some money this week while we were soaking in the sun, visiting the pyramids and sailing on a Catamaran to Isla Mujeres.  You can do the same.  It’s really very easy. If I (Kerry) can do it without technical or sales expertise, so can you!

Watch this video right now and then click on the banner to send a free card to someone you love.  They’ll be so glad you did.

A Personal Message From Stephen and Kerry

Rite of Passage

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!”

http://www.BestElderCareAtHome.com/eldercarewebinar/

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!

A Personal Message From Stephen and Kerry
The World Is Safe For Another Week!That’s what I tell Kerry when I come back from our property after shooting practice. This time my son asked, “What happens when you miss a week?” I told him, “The world teeters on the brink…!”Actually, pistol shooting is one of my favorite ways to relax. The way I train, it’s all about speed and hitting what you aim for …a good metaphor for online business!I always bring my dog along. She loves the property, but hates guns. So she runs all over property while I shoot, then cools off with a dip in the lake.This time, I stopped on the way home at this open-air place to catch the last part of the Saints game. My dog followed me in and was soon joined by 4 other neighborhood dogs. One guy said, “there’s more dogs than people in here!”

Ah well, life in Texas!

Already the response has been nothing short of overwhelming for the “FamilyEbiz Internet Riches Apprentice Program”! So, I’ve decided to schedule a private call-in for those interested in becoming my apprentice, but have a few questions…

The private call-in will be Wednesday, November 11 from 4-6pm (central). That’s:
2-4pm (pacific) | 3-5pm (mountain) | 4-6pm (central) 5-7pm (eastern) | 7-8pm (UK-England)

The phone number is 979-703-5724

It works like a radio station call-in show. Call in during the time slot above and if the line is busy, keep calling until you get through. It will be just you and me on the phone.

I will need to limit the call to 10 minutes to allow others to get through as well. Again, call in during the time slot above and we can talk about whether you are a good fit for the apprentice program.

————————————————————–

IMPORTANT: This private call-in is ONLY for people seriously considering the apprentice program and partnering up with me and Kerry to launch an online business.

There is a substantial financial investment to become one of my apprentices. Read the details here before you call: http://www.FamilyEbiz.com/apprentice

————————————————————–

To recap: I’ll take up to 12 individuals under my wing and teach 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)!

Because there are only 12 slots and completed applications have already started to come into the office (via FedEx) I want to make sure I answer the most common questions we’re getting from interested people.

Hopefully this should answer some of the questions you may be having. If you have a particular concern or question that isn’t answered – send an email to: steve@familyebiz.com and you’ll get a personal reply.

Selling Information Products Mastermind Strategies
by Kerry Beck

At a mastermind event that I attended, I picked up some great tips for selling information products. Here are 3 of the tips that I learned that I am applying to my business right away.1. Special Customer Days.

One of the strategies we are implementing are special customer days. What we are doing on these days is inviting our customers to learn about strategies that they can apply to their business.

  

2. Maximizing The Sales Process.

Our mastermind host shared his strategies for making upsells. For example, when a customer buys his product, he presents to them another product that they can buy as well for more money. I actually own one of his products so I was able to see this process first hand. In fact, I even use this strategy for some of my products that I offer. We are going to be looking for additional opportunities to offer upsells, downsells and cross sells to help us with selling information products.

3. Looking for new ways to follow up.

Besides email, we have many other ways that we do follow-up. We are looking at doing mail campaigns as well as calling some of our prospects up on the telephone. We notice our sales increase from this.

Besides selling information products there are other ways the mastermind event helped us. There were a number of presentations that focused on giving back and helping others. My business partner works with an organization known as the Apache Creek Deaf & Youth Ranch and assists them in building their web site. There are several ways we learned to help this charity to be able to raise funds more effectively. We will make social media strategies an integral part of their system. This way we can help them to generate more income for the organization.

The mastermind event is a great way to build our business. Have you joined a mastermind yet? If you have not, you should consider getting involved in one because of the many benefits. It helps you in solving challenges in your business and it will help you be more effective in selling information products.

My good friend and one of the internet marketing leaders on membership sites, Paul Evans, has just created a resource where he is revealing a case study in form of a video that shows you how he built a membership site that allows you to start a business and do it with only 30 minutes a week.

Paul EvansHe will show you the niche that he did this in. You may find it interesting that the niche he is earning six figures in, should not be making money. That’s good news for you! Surely your niche can do even better. You may agree when you see the video.

http://www.familyebiz.com/simplesix

And it isn’t a fly-by-night happenstance. This site that you’re going to see in this video has been doing this kind of business for several years. When you discover this case study and are able to see how you could do the same in your niche, you’ll see that the possibilities are amazing.

You need to go over to Simple Six Figures and see (literally) how to do this yourself.

A Personal Message From Stephen and Kerry

Too many early mornings this week! Normally I wake up when I’m finished sleeping (no alarm clocks for this Internet marketer!) But every Tuesday, I have to get up at 5:15am to teach a men’s biblestudy at 6am. I know, I know. If that’s the hardest thing I have to suffer through, then I’m a pretty lucky guy!

But I also have to get up at 2am this Saturday because I’m taking my daughter duck hunting. It will be our last hunting trip before she becomes a married woman. Duck hunting has always been one of our favorite activities together. My other two kids never liked cold weather, wet waders and shotguns …but Ashley always did!So, it will be another early morning this week. But the cool thing about running an Internet business is that I can come home and go to bed …without getting yelled at by the boss!

Our Students Are Successful!

I met Kerry and Steve at Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar, got on their mailing list and within a short time purchased “8 Weeks to Profit”. I devoured it. I went through all the material in a week and then had it by my side through every step of the product completion and marketing.

When I started I didn’t know the difference between anchor text and an autoresponder! I knew how to send email and shop online, but that was it. My husband and son always teased me about computer illiterate, but not anymore.

I have my first information product, “The Truth About FSBO Complete Selling System”. I promote it as a “total realtor replacement system” for people who want to sell their house “for sale by owner”.

I have also just released a second product, “FSBO 2.0 Blueprint” which focuses on how the internet and technology has changed the way houses are now sold. I’ve come a long way in a short time. I now consider myself an internet marketer who does real estate investing rather than a real estate investor who does internet marketing.

I want to say that I could have never gotten my project off the ground without “8 Weeks to Profits”. I needed a calm and patient voice like Steve virtually holding my hand through the
process.

Once I got my product and website ready, I put it on Clickbank. I immediately had lots of affiliates promoting it. I’ve mainly used article marketing to generate traffic and just started doing videos.

Warm regards,
Deane Alban    TruthAboutFSBO.com

What I Learned From My Internet Mastermind Event
by Kerry Beck

A few months ago our daughter Ashley came with us to our mastermind event in Florida. Our group meets 3 times a year to discuss internet business opportunity strategies. My husband attended a power boating
event with some of the other guys. He had a blast getting out on the water.

My daughter and I had other plans. We decided to do a girls day at the spa. It was a great experience getting pampered with massages, pedicures and manicures. We then had an incredible lunch poolside surrounded by waterfalls.While we did have fun that isn’t the only thing we did. We also spent a significant amount of time

masterminding. Each of us shared what was working well for us in our business as well as what we needed help with. While I cannot share everything (because of confidentiality), here is what we are going to do.

1. Joint Venture Partnerships: One of the benefits of the mastermind event is the number of joint venture opportunities available. There are 4 other members of the mastermind that we are going to be working together with on a few projects. We are also going to be doing some joint ventures with some of the guests of our mastermind members. The guests that attend typically have an internet business opportunity as well so we can work with them also. Joint ventures in the past have increased our sales 50%.

2. Doing Webinars For New Subscribers: Every month we are going to offer a monthly webinar for all our new subscribers. On this webinar we are going to teach them how to create an info product. We will also give them an opportunity to work with us on an info product as well.

3. More videos for our business: Why are we are doing more videos? – They give us additional promotion for our products and web site. – They help our search engine optimization efforts by giving us more back links. – They help us make more money from our affiliate promotions. – We believe they will increase our webinar attendance. We are going to create a video registration page for our webinars to see if it increases our conversion rate. We should have an idea soon after we test it.

The mastermind event was a smashing success for us. Thanks to it, we have a number of key takeaways to run with for our internet business opportunity and you can apply many of these takeaways to your business also.
