USE TWITTER THE RIGHT WAY

I have a real treat for you today.  Most of us are into social networking in some form or another–Facebook, Myspace or Twitter.  The article below describes how to use Twitter and not alienate either twitter or your followers.  The real secret is included in Coup de Twitter.

Make Money with Twitter

Today, I’d like to introduce you to our guest author, Harris Fellman. Harris recently launched Coup de Twitter a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “Make Money with Twitter”:

So, once again, here’s a quick recap of how you can stage your own Peaceful (or Hostile) Take Over using Twitter.

  1. First get a good network of followers going.
  2. Build relationships with your network.
  3. Get your followers to click on your links & tell others about you by retweeting your messages
  4. Make Money with Twitter.

In previous posts, I’ve shared with you simple ways to do steps 1 through 3. In the last post I even added a dimension to step #3 which showed you how to put all that retweeting on HYPERDRIVE by providing things of value to your growing list of followers. But by now, you must be thinking that something is missing. Especially if you’re in business you may, at this point, be wondering if this is just a lot of wheel spinning and wasting your time talking to people.

You’re asking “But, Harris, HOW do I make money?”

Which of course brings me to today’s post. If you take the actions that I’ve been telling you about throughout this process you’ll certainly create a growing list of followers… most likely into the thousands and beyond but up till now we haven’t talked about how to tie it all together and start making some money with this newfound connectedness.

Here’s the thing. You CAN make money using Twitter and you WILL. But it’s got to be a carefully planned process because you can easily ruin your entire pot of soup you’ve been so lovingly stirring and adding ingredients to all this time. If you just start throwing tons of pepper into the pot now, you’ll just ruin all your efforts.

So, let’s unwrap this a bit. What is Twitter?

Twitter is really a free-for-all, information gathering, networking, and socializing all going on at the same time, real time, all the time. It’s kind of like being in the middle of a crowded street in New York at rush hour.

People are streaming in all directions with a phone in one ear, a blackberry in their hand AND trying to hail a cab with the other. It’s HARD to get and keep people’s attention, and if you smack them in the head with a bowl of soup from your cart when they’re not looking they’re going to disengage… just like that. Poof. Relationship damaged. Do it a couple more times and Kablooey. Relationship vanished.

Not only that, they’ll probably be pissed you spilled soup on them.

There’s a couple things to consider here, but the main idea is NOT to try and make money ON Twitter directly. It doesn’t really work. Nothing will get people to unfollow you faster. What you want to do is have a ratio of no more than 5-10% of your tweets even trying to promote anything (whether it’s your product or a product you’re promoting as an affiliate.

What we’ve been doing over the past couple of posts is gently stirring that pot of soup. Building relationships, getting people to click, getting people to retweet. Letting those aromas fill the kitchen and start making your followers hungry for more. You’ve got them retweeting your messages, clicking your links and now you’re going to want to entice them even more by dropping a few breadcrumbs that lead them to your steaming bowl of luscious soup.

The key is to start interspersing all this great value with things of your own. Links that lead your hungry followers to even MORE good value and FREE content that you provide, luring them off of Twitter and onto your own site. If you don’t have you own site yet, there are certainly plenty of affiliate products you can promote. But I still don’t recommend sending people straight to a sales page. You have to lull your followers away from the noisy street and into your tasty cafe. The content can be many things: teleseminars, webinars even a live Ustream show… the possibilities are truly endless as long as you think “VALUE FIRST“.

Once you get their attention directed at you and you alone THEN it’s time to show them your real wares and convince them to buy your soup, so to speak. You can even give them a taste of your soup to really get them hooked before asking them to buy the entire bowl. By that time they’re hungry and they’re not distracted by all the noise going on around them.

So, that’s the big Twitter secret. To make money on Twitter, you have to get people AWAY from Twitter!

There’s plenty more *soup* for you when you join Coup De Twitter! Members are given an pre-installed “Base of Operations” site that act as an easy place for you to place these ‘things of value’ that I’m referencing above.

3 Things for Begining Marketers to Avoid

3 THINGS TO DO TO AVOID GETTING SCAMMED AS A BEGINNING MARKETER

By Charles L. Evans

CEO Rattlesnake Mountain Enterprises Inc.

I believe that every new internet marketer gets scammed at least once in the first month of trying to be on line. You are new and eager to get things done. You don’t know where to start. So you get a zillion messages that say buy my product and you will be an instant millionaire. This is bunk. The ain’t no free lunch.  Here is a free product that will get you started.  Magic Button

The reality is you are going to buy products that you don’t need or that don’t work for you. The important thing is to limit these mistakes.

How can you avoid buying products that you don’t need? There are a few significant things that you can do to find products that will help you build your business..

  • Use the grocery store sample method. You go to Costco and try a free sample if you don’t like the sample you don’t buy the product. You don’t buy the product if it is not in your budaget or related to your shopping list. Download and use the free stuff if you like how the author relates to you than put them on your list to considerer for purchase. Look for those that have really done it. Some times this is hard to determine however look at their web site. The most important way to use this method is to search for their name and web site on google. Read what other people have to say. Search the marketing forums for information for beginners. This is good experience and very enlightening.

  • Check them out on Rip Off Report. Don’t believe every thing in rip off but they are a good indicator of how complaints are solved and what the customer service is like.

  • Be careful and due your research before you pull out your credit card.

I learned these lessons the hard way. I was looking to make some extra money and contacted the Robert Allen web site. I got a phone call that promised to evaluate me as a student. You know the story set the hook. My wife and I knew that internet marketing was a good thing. Robert Allen’s Prosper learning promised the moon a delivered a rock. We spent $10,000 on a coaching program that was supposed to put us on easy street. The problem was that the coaches were people that had been in internet marketing for a short while and had not made much money. The first coach quit and went to work for the Ubuntu folks selling and developing commercial software. Our second coach was a lady with a boutique and we were trying to develop a web site to sell auto parts and another to sell jigsaw puzzles. To make matters worse we were signed up for a program on a monthly recurring basis in addition to the $10,000 up front charge. It took me over a year to get that charge canceled and I noticed that it appeared again a month or so ago. Don’t bite on the expensive program unless you know that they will work. Don’t buy the hype. Above all else check with the Better Business Bureau in the city where they are located for complaints. All so check with the secretary of State for that state to see if they actually have a business license. Any legitimate business will have a license.

How can I get started in internet marketing and not get scammed? There are a few easy things to do.

  • Exercise discipline—don’t believe it will be off the market in 3 days. It may be but these things always seem to show up later either as a bonus or a lower price.

  • Do your research.

  • Plan what you want to accomplish.

  • Look at the free stuff—there is a lot of excellent beginning marketing material that is free.  Here is the best free stuff I have ever found.  It doesn’t even cost an email address.  Magic Button You have nothing to loose–press the magic button.  Now go out on the web and look for other free stuff.

Internet Marketing is the wave of the future. You can make money on the internet. You need to get started. Do it the right way and the smart way. I recommend that you avoid all programs the use recurring billing until you have determined that they work for you. There are three recurring products that I use and these can be found on my web site. Any business has some risk—the secret is to manage the risk and get the job done.

LUECK’S LAWS FOR SUCCESS

Internet marketing needs some rules to follow for human relations.  To make an internet business work you need these rules. The article that follows is from an old yellowed paper posted on a bulletin board in a Hanford Nuclear Facility that we were decommissioning. I found these gems of wisdom hidden among the old schedules and papers on this bulletin board. Bernie Lueck was a manager at the Hanford Nuclear Site during operations and decommissioning. I worked for him and with him for a number of years. Bernie was one of the finest managers I have ever worked with. After I found this list I asked him for permission to publish it and share it with others. He freely gave this permission. I consider this to be his work and hope that you will respect it. This happened about 15 years ago.

LUECK’S LAWS FOR SUCCESS

The following are things I’ve learned over the years both the hard way, and from good mentors, now, you could spend hundreds of dollars attending seminars to have these words of wisdom laid upon you, but being the generous person that I am here they are in unabashed English free-of-charge. (for the full effect, imagine my hand is on your shoulder as you read these.)

  1. Don’t believe your own bullshit
    When you start believing it, you don’t know whats real and you’ve lost control.

  2. Don’t wait for the tooth fairy.
    Nothing gets done unless YOU make it happen.

  3. Always use the system
    You may beat it once in a while, but in the long run the system is faster and you maintain your creditability.

  4. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
    Again, credibility is the issue.

  5. Keep the promises you make.
    One of the “great” secrets of success.

  6. If you don’t know—ASK.
    There is much, wisdom in the saying “There’s no such thing as a dumb question.” However, it’s a lot easier to handle a dumb question than a dumb mistake.

  7. Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real. (Jules Verne)

    Don’t limit your thing or creativity when problem solving, it stagnates the organization and your career.

  8. Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong
    Just because everyone else is doing it wrong doesn’t make it right. Do it right (the first time.)

  9. Be professional and courteous to everyone you deal with.
    You never know who your boss is going to be next week.

  10. Mistakes are our fault.
    If mistakes are made, it is because our system isn’t right, or we haven’t communicated or expectations properly.

  11. Remember, you create your own destiny, no one elses.
    People who don’t believe this never get ahead, they just make excuses.

  12. Take care of your people first.
    They will determine whether you are a success or failure.

Now that you have read these gems take them and apply them. These “truths” apply to an internet marketing business the same as any other situation.

WHY ARE WE IN INTERNET MARKETING?

WHY ARE WE INTERNET MARKETERS?

Written by

Charles L. (Bud) Evans

Most us that are newbies to this field have not answered this question. The stock answer is “I want to make money.”   (If you really want to make money click here.) The person that uses this answer probably will never make much money on the internet or anywhere else. There are a several of laws of the universe that apply to most activities. If you want to succeed beyond the average person then you must invoke these laws. They are very simple things.

  • You must give to get. (Can’t be any simpler than that).

  • You must have a clear IMAGE of your goal.

  • You must have a plan to get to your goal.

  • You must desire to reach that goal. You must be willing to do what ever it takes.

Napoleon Hill wrote about goals and success. In Think and Grow Rich, he wrote about desire. Every one should read THINK AND GROW RICH.

The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps … Napoleon Hill THINK AND GROW RICH CHAPTER 2

Here is Napoleon Hill’s Awesome Secret …

  • First. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want lots of money.” Be definite as to the amount.

  • Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.)

  • Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

  • Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action. (Rockefeller once stated that when you have 90 percent of the information get started.)

  • Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

  • Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ— SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

(Napoleon Hill THINK AND GROW RICH CHAPTER 2.)

It must be understood that anything worthwhile can be substituted for money. The same laws of acquisition apply.

In summary we are internet marketers to build a life style, to do good, and to help others. An immutable law of the universe is that you must give to get. Decide what you are going to give the universe to obtain the things that you want. Have those goals clearly in mind and set a time when you will complete each step to attain those goals.

Lastly give your self time to accomplish these things. You must enjoy the journey.

Look for a way to shorten that journey. Find a good course on marketing—one that is written by someone that has made it to the top and includes all the steps. See my web site for suggestions.

SFI a Great MLM Company. Compare this to the Trump Network

The Internet is full of hype for the Trump Network.  Is it the greatest thing to hit the internet since man discovered ice cream.  My opinion is that it is not however, there is an alternative It is called SFI.

WHAT IS AN INTERNET BUSINESS

What is an Internet Business

by

Charles L. Evans

Hi, This Bud Evans your Benton City Redneck Marketer. Today we are going to discuss What an internet business is and what it means to you.

The simple definition of an internet business is: “Any web based activity that generates revenue or a return for you.” This is my definition. This can be money which we all like, It can be customers for a brick and mortar business. Internet products can be digital such as movies, ebooks and reports. Hard goods are also sold over the internet.

Generally an internet business contains these Parts:

  • A web site. This may be a blog or a static web site consisting of multiple pages.

  • A method to collect payment–generally credit card service or PayPal.

  • A plan to generate traffic

  • Your personal computer

  • Software to generate the web site.

  • Knowledge to put it all together.

If this sound like a lot of work. It is. If you thought that you were going to click your mouse a couple of times and be instantly rich then close this video right now. I can’t help you. If you are still interested then follow the link to my pages and get some great free stuff to get you started.  Just click the MAGIC BUTTON.  This is an example of an affiliate link.

A favorite way to do business on the internet is eBay. Almost anything can be bought or sold through eBay. Many people use eBay to supplement their income or generate an other income stream. For many eBay has grow to be a full time business.

A second favorite business is affiliate marketing. When you sell another persons product via the internet you become their “affiliate.” Generally you promote and sell the product while the “product owner” takes care of the payment and delivery. It usually works something like this. You put a web page on the internet that promotes a product. When some one “clicks through ” (clicks to go to the affiliate sale page) a computer code is generated that tells the owner that you have sent a customer. If the customer buys the product then the product owner will pay you the agreed percentage of the purchase price.

Then that page is promoted–advertise, made visible to as many people as possible. This is accomplished by many different methods. This is called traffic generation. Just like the store downtown you need to get people in your front door.

There are lots ow ways that the internet is used to market. I use several methods to “sell” my brick and mortar repair business.

  • Videos about automobile maintenance.

  • A web site.

  • Yellow page and internet telephone ads.

  • Articles posted on the internet.

As you can see internet marketing is a large subject. Don’t visit this web site if you know every thing about internet marketing, if you don’t here is a great place to start for the beginner or the advance marketer.  MAGIC BUTTON

Internet Marketing for Newbies

HOW TO FIND A WEB BASED BUSINESS

OR

EVEN SAVE YOUR BRICK AND MORTAR STORE.

BY Charles L. Evans

I have spent the last three year of my spare time investigating and trying to build various internet businesses. You would not believe the dollars I have wasted and more importantly the time. If you really want to see how foolish I was you can buy the report for $39.95. I recommend that you don’t buy it although it would have saved me thousands of dollars a couple of years ago.

There are thousand of articles and course on the web to tell you how to build an internet business. They cost for a few dollars to 10’s of thousands of dollars. Some are good some are not. Why spend a lot of money to find out what you all ready know. My advise is to look for a free course or ebook to start out. Even if you have a lot of experience on the web you need to read this book. Free Book.

Harvey Segal really out did him self on this free ebook called The Ultimate Super Tip. It include these amazing sections.

  • How to sell any product.

  • The Ingenious Twist

  • Tools (To help you get started)

In addition for 10 bucks he supplies all the tools you need to build an internet business. I bought a tool similar to Super Rebrander and paid nearly $100 for it. The tools you need all come in this 10 dollar package. You would need to be really stupid not to check this out. Follow this link to the Magic Button.

Washington V.S Washington

Some one sent me this as an email there is no author or source listed but please read it.  Laugh all you want.

I’m from Washington State.

God  was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the  seventh day.

He  inquired,  ”Where have you been?”

God  smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael.  Look what I’ve made.”

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said. “What is it?”

“It’s a planet,” replied God, “and I’ve put life on it. I’m going to call  it  Earth and it’s going to be a place to test Balance.”

“Balance?”  inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”

God  explained,  pointing to different parts of earth. “For example, Northern Europe will  be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I’ve placed a continent of  white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in  all  things.”

God  continued  pointing to different countries. “This one will be extremely  hot,  while this one will be very cold and covered in ice..”

The  Archangel , impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a  land area and  said, “What’s that one?”

“That’s  Washington State , the most glorious place on  earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests,  hills, and plains. The  people from Washington State  are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are  going to travel the world. They  will be extremely sociable,  hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of  software.”

Michael  gasped  in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about balance, God?  You said there would be balance.”

God  smiled,  ”There’s another Washington.  Wait till you see the idiots I put there.”

World’s Largest model train set.

I have always had an interest in trains.  http://bit.ly/2tfBNm Follow this link to the largest model train set. Boys need their toys.  I have a shop full of tools and half a dozen computer but it does not compare to the worlds larges model train set.  Bud

Sundays are for family.

I enjoy Sundays.  This is in deed a day of rest and refreshing of the spirit and body.  For many years I have not worked on Sunday.  We attend Church as a family.  Our family in the immediate area always gets together on Sunday for some fun.  Many of us have various activities that we attend on Sunday with family and friends.  Our business is closed on Sunday and unless it is an “ox in the mire” or a “lost sheep” situation we do not work on Sundays.  Enjoy your Sunday.

It is my experience that if I can’t get it done in 6 days working Sunday isn’t going to help. Your body and spirit need the change and a day off.  Some of our jobs require that we work on Sunday and to support our families that can’t be helped.  It is the world that we live in.  Do your best and enjoy your Sundays.  Bud

P.S. Don’t forget the value of a Sunday afternoon nap.
