			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Advice for Internet Marketing Newbies</p>
<p>First Off, Don&#8217;t believe everything you read. There are so many websites out<br />
there saying &#8220;Make a million dollars this week,&#8221; &#8220;Join our<br />
Program and Retire This Year.&#8221; When you&#8217;re reading their sales page and<br />
they ask for your email address, your name and the best time to call; do not<br />
give them that information or you will be bombarded with email from everybody<br />
and anybody. They sell that information and you are now considered a<br />
&#8220;Lead.&#8221; I&#8217;m not saying that everyone out there is a bad guy; I&#8217;m just<br />
saying &#8220;If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.&#8221;</p>
<p>Internet Marketing is a really great way to make money online, but No, you<br />
will not get rich overnight. You don&#8217;t need a website or a domain name to make<br />
money working from home. It&#8217;s nice to have; but when you are first starting off<br />
in &#8220;Internet Marketing&#8221; you should wait until you have money to<br />
invest. If you have a talent such as grant writing, medical transcriptions,<br />
resume writer, etc. then yes, you should get a website. There are plenty of<br />
sites out there that will let you get a free website. Here are a few, <a href="http://freewebs.com">http://freewebs.com</a><br />
, <a href="http://www.bravenet.com">http://www.bravenet.com</a> and <a href="http://www.freeservers.com">http://www.freeservers.com</a><br />
.You don&#8217;t have to know html with these ones; you just point and click and your<br />
done. If you don&#8217;t have a specific talent or a product to sale, then you would<br />
probably be better off to join an affiliate Program.</p>
<p>An affiliate program gives you the opportunity to sell their products and you<br />
make a commission on what you sale. What do YOU want to sale? Food and Drinks,<br />
Games and Toys, Home and Garden, or Business related things. Just make sure they<br />
offer you at least 25% or more commission. Some affiliate programs such as: <a href="http://www.cj.com/">www.cj.com/</a><br />
and <a href="http://www.clickbank.com">http://www.clickbank.com</a> have<br />
been around for years. Heck if you want to you can even sell Wisconsin Cheese.<br />
Whatever your interest just type affiliate program-?????? in the search box and<br />
I&#8217;ll bet they have an affiliate program.</p>
<p>My next piece of advice would be to subscribe to newsletters that are related<br />
to what ever it is you are selling. If you&#8217;re selling gardening products then<br />
subscribe to gardening related newsletters. If you&#8217;re selling software or<br />
business related products then subscribe to Internet Marketing newsletters. You<br />
can find newsletters to subscribe to at places like these: <a href="http://www.jogena.com">http://www.jogena.com</a><br />
, <a href="http://www.bellaonline.com">http://www.bellaonline.com</a> and <a href="http://www.list-city.com">http://www.list-city.com</a><br />
. Those are just a few ezine directories; type in &#8220;free newsletters&#8221;<br />
in your search box and you&#8217;ll find plenty of newsletters to join. Before you<br />
subscribe to every newsletter out there, be selective and check out their<br />
archives. See if they accept free or paid ads. See if they accept articles. If<br />
they do then you are in luck and should subscribe. Visit the forums and<br />
newsgroups that are related to what you are selling. Include a 2 line ad with<br />
your link when you post and do the same with all your outgoing email.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>How to Make Money Online with no Investment</p>
<p>Are you an entrepreneur wanting to start a home based business with no<br />
investment? People tell you it takes money to make money; but that&#8217;s not always<br />
the case. Follow me through this article and I will show you how and where to<br />
get everything you need to succeed online &quot;Free.&quot;</p>
<p>First off you will need to find a product to promote; don&#8217;t worry it&#8217;s not<br />
hard at all if you follow my advice. What are you passionate about? Passionate<br />
you say; what does that have to do with a home business. Trust me if you are<br />
willing to spend as much time trying to make your business work it should be<br />
something that you are interested in.</p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you love golf. One of the first things you need to do<br />
is go here <a href="http://www.clickbank.com">http://www.clickbank.com</a>&nbsp;<br />
and open an account with them. It&#8217;s free to join and they have affiliate<br />
programs for just about any subject possible. After you register, log in and go<br />
to Marketplace. Look under the heading &quot;Sports and Recreation&quot; and<br />
search through the many programs they offer.</p>
<p>For instance there is one in there that is named &quot;Instant Golf<br />
Swing.&quot; It&#8217;s an ebook on how to improve your golf games and they will pay<br />
you 55% commission for every ebook you sale. Not only that, they also have a<br />
newsletter that you can subscribe to that includes tips and tricks to help you<br />
with your golf swing. So now you can not only make $23 for every book you sale<br />
you also get a professional golfers advice.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re probably wondering &quot;Who can I sell the ebook too&quot;, keep<br />
reading and I&#8217;ll tell you. Go here: <a href="http://google.com">http://google.com</a>&nbsp;<br />
and type in &quot;newsletters golf&quot; or you can type in ezine directory.<br />
When you find some newsletter that interest you subscribe to them. You can also<br />
find out if they accept free ads, or accept articles. Now if the affiliate<br />
program you joined doesn&#8217;t supply you with pre written ads, you can make up your<br />
own. Go back to the sales page (click on your Golf Link) and slowly read through<br />
it. Open up notepad and write some of the great things about this ebook and why<br />
anybody would want to buy it. Just 5 lines are enough for starters.</p>
<p>Consider writing a short golf related article; don&#8217;t say you can&#8217;t do it.<br />
Just sit down at the computer and pretend you&#8217;re telling a friend about the best<br />
time of the day and what day of the week is the best time to play golf. After<br />
you have finished the article and gone over it so it sounds pretty interesting;<br />
you need to put a resource box under the article. A resource box is simply a<br />
brief description of your self. Say something like this &quot;Learn how to swing<br />
like the Professionals with my Instant Golf Swing ebook. Insert your link here.<br />
Now submit the article to an article directory or better yet a lot of<br />
directories</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Are you dressing down for your Man?</p>
<p>When your spouse comes home from work what are you wearing? Sweatpants maybe. Is your hair in a ponytail? Do you have lipstick on? You probably are dressing down for him and don&#8217;t even realize it.<br />
Think back to when you started dating your spouse. Remember the excitement you felt as you rushed to get all dolled up for him. Did you Spritz on a little cologne, wear nail polish?</p>
<p>There was a comment I heard from a Latino Gal who said that &#8220;American women dress for comfort&#8221; while Latino women dress to impress their men. That got me thinking that maybe she&#8217;s right, because as I&#8217;m<br />
writing this article I&#8217;m barefoot, wearing stretch pants and a baggy tee shirt. My Hair is in a ponytail and I have no makeup on. And yes, I am comfortable. But, 30 minutes or so before he&#8217;s due home; I change into something a tad nicer, do something with my hair, and brush on some mascara.</p>
<p>So are you in the comfort zone too? Most likely you are if you are a stay at home Mom or retired. Just out of curiosity I emailed a group of women friends and asked them a few questions covering this topic</p>
<p>The questions I asked them were:</p>
<p>Do you change out of comfortable clothes into uncomfortable clothes before your spouse gets home?<br />
Is your hair always in a ponytail?<br />
Are your fingernails polished?</p>
<p>It seems the younger and recently married girls did get dressed up before their husbands showed up. And the women that have been married for a longer length of time stayed the way they dressed earlier in the day. No make up, nor nail polish. Hmmm! Maybe the Latino girl is right.</p>
<p>Well Ladies maybe we should take this as a hint and think about dressing up for our man instead of dressing down. Just try it once and see what his response will be; who knows maybe he will think he forgot a dinner date or something! This could be a free ticket to town.</p>
