Dear reader,
I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.
AGLOCO’s story is simple:
Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!
AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.
AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!
AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.
AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.
What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.
So do both both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBB5927
Thanks

Look Out Google Here Comes Big Daddy?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
Big Daddy is just the latest search engine trying to take a piece of the Google pie. With the Internet growing at a phenomenal rate, it is not surprising to see search engines come and go. Yesterdays top rated companies have been bought, sold, modified, or don't even exist today. This is normal and healthy for the consumer, who want their Internet searches to be quick, relevant, and without a lot of ad clutter.
Most search engines are commercial enterprises that are in business to make a profit. This is accomplished by selling advertisement space. The most relevant web page may not receive the best ranking simply because someone else was willing to pay more to be at the top of the search result page. Good for them but bad for you.
If you are running a business through your web site, you know how important it is to have a good ranking position on the search engine results. People will rarely even look at the second or third page of results.
You may have the best product or service available anywhere at any price, but without the customer seeing your site, you are going to fail.
So what does Big Daddy have to do with all this? Big Daddy is a new search engine that hopes to dominate the Internet by using a unique strategy. They will provide the same type of search capability you have come to rely on, however they will share the advertising revenue with their affiliate members. Since their affiliate program is free, they expect a tremendous number of users to come on board. The more members they have, the more they can charge for their advertising space. This translates into more ad revenue.
Each of the affiliates is given their own Search Engine Portal. (Also free) As they search the web, they earn credits that may be used to promote their own e-businesses. A win–win situation.
This strategy has resulted in a huge world wide response and is putting Big Daddy into position to take their share of billions of dollars in ad revenue that will be spent in the coming years.
Perhaps even more note worthy is the selling of key words to the Search Big Daddy affiliates. Using the pay per click revenue generated from their Search Engine Portal, affiliates can bid on key words. You will then "own" the key word for one year. Obviously the better key words you own, the higher you will be listed in the search engine results. The higher your position, the more traffic to your web site and hopefully, more money in your pocket.
There are many other programs and opportunities being offered by Big Daddy that you will have to investigate on you own. For the small Internet business or the individual, these may prove beneficial.
Only time will tell if Search Big Daddy becomes the next Google, but, with over 50 countries currently being represented, and hundreds of people signing up daily, it would seem like they are on the way!

Three Rules For Selling Success
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
If you will keep these three things in mind as you go about selling your products and services, you will have greater success. You have to understand that selling is a process and not a single act. True selling is satisfying a real need of a buyer.
First you must get the attention of your perspective buyer. There are many voices calling in the marketplace. You have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. On the Internet, you have a very short window of time to do this in. Use a catchy title or headline to capture your buyers' attention. Font size, color, graphics, as well as text all can be used successfully. Use your imagination and don't be afraid to experiment.
When you shop what catches your attention? Your customers are no different. Your web site should be there for your guests. Stay focused on your goal of taking the customer from just being a shopper to being a satisfied buyer who wants to return time after time.
Second, tell your prospective customer why you feel that your product will not only meet his or her need, but will exceed their expectations. This will help overcome possible future objections. Appeal to their emotions as well as their intellect. Create interest in your product or service by painting a mental picture of how it would be for your customer to be using your product. A travel agent should make the customer feel the tropical breeze blowing through her hair as she walks bare-foot through the sugar white sand. She should hear the music and laughter of her hosts and smell the faint scent of jasmine. Since you have taken care of all the details and at an affordable price, your customer can relax and enjoy the vacation you alone could provide. Get the idea?
After you have intellectually and emotionally engaged your customer, the third thing that is necessary is to make a call to action. Every suggested idea of action tends to lead to action. Assume that the customer is ready to sign up or purchase your product. Do this in steps: "click here" "please enter your name and e-mail address", "please choose your method of payment", "Your suggestions are appreciated", "How may we be of further service", etc. etc. It becomes natural to move from one step to another, until the process is completed. A word of caution: Always approach each sell as the first of many. Begin to plant the seeds for future business. Ask the customer if you might send them information on other products or services that they might find of interest. For repeat business remember that service should be your motto.
You don't have to be the cheapest, but you should strive to be the best! Unless you have a one-of-a- kind product, you cannot afford to loose repeat customers by taking short cuts or by providing an inferior product. Integrity counts. If you don't provide superior service and products, you competition will. I know you will do the right thing and be greatly rewarded for you time and efforts!

Do You Know Why Your Website Doesn't Work?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
There are any number of reasons why a web page, ezine, blog, or sales copy just doesn’t give us the results we desire. Today I am going to talk about some of the most overlooked problems and give you solutions you can implement.
By being the owner of an e-business you have to rely on your web pages to represent you and your products to your potential customers. You only have the one chance to make the right first impression.
Let me put this in perspective. If you visit the grocery store down the street you can hear the relaxing music being played over the speaker system, the floors are clean and you can smell freshly baked bread coming from the oven. A sample of cheese or a cookie tastes great. Every isle is well marked and well lighted. You relax and enjoy your shopping experience. What you say and do with your web page has to convey all the same feelings and evoke the same responses from your “shoppers”. It doesn’t matter if you are selling the best service or product in the world if you cant get visitors to enter your website and stay long enough to see and hopefully buy your product.
What keeps people out? I am glad you asked. There are several possibilities but lets look at these three: Color, Clutter, and feelings of insecurity.
First of all color is one of the most powerful tools available to set the mood of your site and provoke an emotional response. The colors you choose to use will have an impact on your visitors. Not only that, but different cultures respond to the same colors differently. Know who your primary customers are. A person from the United States would see yellow and think “cowardice” while for a person from Japan yellow points to the “future”.
Okay lets look at some specific colors:
· RED - creates excitement, used to express passion, speed or danger.
· BLUE- the most popular color. Builds trust and conveys reliability.
· ORANGE- triggers playfulness and child-like behavior
· GREEN- associated with trees and grass. Means growth and abundance.
· PURPLE- images of royalty and dignity.
· PINK- associated with femininity, softness and nurturing.
· WHITE- evokes idea of cleanliness, purity, and youthfulness. (Works best for website backgrounds)
· BLACK- triggers thought of the “dark side”, evokes mystery and seduction.
There are many more examples, but just understand that color choice is important. Let me also add that it is best if you do not use more than three colors on a page. Research has shown that the human brain can better remember things grouped in threes. This is a basic human phenomenon. The rule of three also can be applied to the number of fonts used on a page or the number of different elements being introduced.
Let’s talk now about clutter. Anything that distracts your visitors from making an informed decision to buy your product or service is clutter. Some of the top frustrations from a recent poll were:
1. Pop-up Boxes
2. Banner Ads
3. Congested web page
4. Poor navigation tools
5. Slow Load Time
All of these complaints drive your customers to your competition. If it doesn’t add clarity and support your process of moving your customer to buy, then leave it out. Keep focused on your goal.
Good navigation tools help make it easier for your visitors to move from page to page and find what they are looking for. Keep it simple and uniform. The more elements you add to your page will also slow down how fast your page loads. This is where the “eight second rule” comes into play. Most web searchers will leave a site if it doesn’t load within eight seconds. It has been estimated that 4.3 Billion dollars is lost each year due to this phenomenon! Enough said.
We have discussed color, clutter and now it is time to address the issue of security. This is perhaps the most difficult challenge you face. How do you develop trust with a customer through a web page? If you have followed the suggestions we have already covered it will go a long way toward giving you business a professional look. Some other things to do include:
1. Have an easy, no hassle return policy.
2. Give detailed descriptions of your products. (Pictures)
3. Provide a way to give quick response to questions.
4. State your security policy on each page.
5. Provide testimonials – word of mouth is still a great tool.
6. Send a confirmation e-mail to your customers. You want them to visit again.
This is a vast area of marketing and we have barely scratched the surface. Take the time to look at your store and see if it reflects what you want your prospective visitors to see and know about you. Maybe some of the things we have talked about will help you become the businessperson you know you really are. Best wishes!

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"
These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.
The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.
More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.
I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?
For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Autoresponder - Useful Tool or Just Another Gimmick?
If you are anything like me, trying to make your Internet business take off with a very limited budget, then you will undoubtedly hear of the Autoresponder. Before you spend those limited resources, there are a few things you need to understand in order to make an informed decision.
Let’s begin by getting on the same page. An Autoresponder, for the purposes of this article, is defined as a computer program used to give a pre-written response to an e-mail message. If you have ever tried to respond to several e-mails in a timely fashion you know how time consuming and frustrating that can be. You don’t want to loose a
potential new customer, but you have a hundred other things screaming for your attention too!
Enter the Autoresponder. Most Autoresponders today have the capability of responding to every e-mail you receive with a personalized message in a matter of seconds. Think of the timesavings. This is just one of the benefits you will discover. The sky is the limit when you begin to review the options
available to the savvy businessman or woman. Here is an abbreviated list of the features available:
· Unlimited follow-up messages to perspective custom
· The ability to track all messages – great to see what is working
· Easy access to database to update or change your outgoing messages
· Spam filters - a must in today’s marketplace
· Management of bounce-back messages
· Compile and send you activity reports
· Compose and send e-mails to everyone on a list from any computer
· Use templates provided or create your own format
· Track the click-through links on your web site
And the list of options goes on and on. How were we ever able to live without this? The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
If like me, you have decided that an Autoresponder is a must have addition to your marketing toolbox, then there is just one more thing to decide: what is the best way to acquire your Autosender?
If you have the funds available, the time, and the technical know-how, then you can purchase the programming and customize it to fit your own business needs. When your business has grown large enough this will probably is a viable option.
An alternative is to use the services of an ASP (Application Service Provider). For a nominal monthly fee, you gain access to all the Autoresponder features.
The programming is kept on the host’s computer system. They maintain the infrastructure and update the programming. You gain access to the system through your computer via a web-based control panel. If you are just starting out with your e-business this may be your best option.
The Autoresponder isn’t the answer for all businesses or for all the challenges you will face, however, I am convinced that if used properly, the Autoresponder can help you grow your business faster and in a more systematic way. There are
just too many benefits to ignore the Autoresponder or write it of as just another gimmick..

Well that philosophy is exemplified in the Empowerism Business Plan. They know that in order for them to be successful, their members must succeed too. One of the ways they do that is by providing the knowledge and tools to become a “better fisherman”. The more you know and understand your Internet business, then the greater your potential for success. Training In a variety of subjects is available. The following is a partial list:
“Everything you need to know to operate your computer and to use the Internet. How to power your computer off and on. How to use Windows and Window Explorer. How to use your mouse buttons.

Hunting "Guru" on the World Wide Web
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
Since earliest times, man has been a hunter. First of necessity, and now we hunt just to prove our skills. The more elusive, rare, or dangerous the prey, the better the hunt.
I decided to try my luck at capturing the elusive “Guru”. I had heard that they were very rare, very elusive, and could sometimes be dangerous. Where to start? Like any good hunter I knew that preparation would be the key to my success. I had to find the answer to some fundamental questions:
· What exactly was a “Guru”?
· Where do they live, what do they eat, how dangerous are they?
· What is the best way to capture one?
I started my search for Guru in the same place everyone else does: the Land of Google. I very quickly learned that there were Gurus everywhere. Apparently they could adapt to almost any environment. I found 69 million references to “Guru” my first click!
I next turned to and old reference book I found in my office. A gentleman named Merriam-Webster had a small description of a “Guru” that I found to be helpful:
“A teacher and especially intellectual guide in matters of fundamental concern b : one who is an acknowledged leader or chief proponent c : a person with knowledge or expertise : EXPERT “Now we are getting somewhere. I had been seeing people all over the web claiming to be experts. They had the photocopy of their check stub to prove it too. The ability to make money was the only proof they offered. If you didn’t believe them, well just send them $29.95 and they would prove it again. The fact that they can work in their underwear, eat catsup and rice doesn’t qualify them as worthy subjects of our quest. This type of “guru” is very dangerous indeed. Fortunately for us they are obvious to spot. They usually hang out with others just like themselves in chat rooms talking about how to milk newbies with their latest gimmick.What ever happened to the “teacher” who is a “leader” as well as an “expert”? The ability to meet ones own needs is a good thing, however the ability, and a passionate desire to help someone else meet their needs is a great thing. The more people they have helped the greater their status should be. This variety is rare indeed. This hunt was going to take much longer than I had thought.If you see a real “Guru” while you are out there on the web, please, let me know…Good Hunting.

A View From the Mountaintop
A view From the Mountaintop
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
So you woke up one morning and said “I want to have my
own business on the internet!” At that point you remembered
you didn’t know anything about Internet marketing, web site
construction, advertising, or even where to start. What began
as a “walk in the park”, now looks more like an “uphill battle”!
Don’t despair!! The fact that you are reading this article is proof you are on the right track, and there is help available. If you will follow a few simple steps and keep your eyes on your goal, your dream can still be realized.
First off let me say that the only way to climb a mountains is by taking one step at a time. The same is true for your Internet business. A good first step is to start by using the knowledge and experience of others.
Find a reputable guide with a proven record of success to lead you through the process. They can help you avoid the mistakes they have made along the way and save you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary headaches. Don’t reinvent the wheel!
The second thing you will need on your journey to having a prosperous and thriving Internet business is an open mind and a willingness to learn.
Don’t be overwhelmed by all the technology and jargon. You don’t have to know everything right now to be a success! Just know that it works for others and it will work for you too! Knowledge will come with patience and practice. Never stop learning. Commit to learning at least one new thing every day.
The last thing I would like to tell you is that your success in a great part is going to be determined by you! No mater what you do in life, there are going to be challenges. Keep you eyes on the prize!! You are not a quitter! Have patience, follow your guide, keep learning and success will be yours. The view from the top is made even sweeter by the climb you make to get there.

Do You Know Why Your Web Page Doesn't Work?
Do You Know Why Your Web Page Doesn't Work?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
There are any number of reasons why a web page, ezine, blog, or sales copy just doesn’t give us the results we desire. Today I am going to talk about some of the most overlooked problems and give you solutions you can implement.
By being the owner of an e-business you have to rely on your web pages to represent you and your products to your potential customers. You only have one chance to make the right first impression.
Let me put this in perspective. If you visit the grocery store down the street you can hear the relaxing music being played over the speaker system, the floors are clean, and you can smell freshly baked bread coming from the oven. A sample of cheese or a cookie tastes great. Every isle is well marked and well lighted. You relax and enjoy your shopping experience. What you say and do with your web page has to convey all the same feelings and evoke the same responses from your “shoppers”. It doesn’t matter if you are selling the best service or product in the world if you cant get visitors to enter your website and stay long enough to see and hopefully buy your product.
What keeps people out? I am glad you asked. There are several possibilities but lets look at these three: Color, Clutter, and feelings of insecurity.
First of all color is one of the most powerful tools available to set the mood of your site and provoke an emotional response. The colors you choose to use will have an impact on your visitors. Not only that, but different cultures respond to the same colors differently. Know who your primary customers are. A person from the United States would see yellow and think “cowardice” while for a person from Japan yellow points to the “future”.
Okay lets look at some specific colors:
· RED - creates excitement, used to express passion, speed or danger.
· BLUE- the most popular color. Builds trust and conveys reliability.
· ORANGE- triggers playfulness and child-like behavior
· GREEN- associated with trees and grass. Means growth and abundance.
· PURPLE- images of royalty and dignity.
· PINK- associated with femininity, softness and nurturing.
· WHITE- evokes idea of cleanliness, purity, and youthfulness. (Works best for website backgrounds)
· BLACK- triggers thought of the “dark side”, evokes mystery and seduction.
There are many more examples, but just understand that color choice is important. Let me also add that it is best if you do not use more than three colors on a page. Research has shown that the human brain can better remember things grouped in threes. This is a basic human phenomenon. The rule of three also can be applied to the number of fonts used on a page or the number of different elements being introduced.
Let’s talk now about clutter. Anything that distracts your visitors from making an informed decision to buy your product or service is clutter. Some of the top frustrations from a recent poll were:
1. Pop-up Boxes
2. Banner Ads
3. Congested web page
4. Poor navigation tools
5. Slow Load Time
All of these complaints drive your customers to your competition. If it doesn’t add clarity and support your process of moving your customer to buy, then leave it out. Keep focused on your goal.
Good navigation tools help make it easier for your visitors to move from page to page and find what they are looking for. Keep it simple and uniform. The more elements you add to your page will also slow down how fast your page loads. This is where the “eight second rule” comes into play. Most web searchers will leave a site if it doesn’t load within eight seconds. It has been estimated that 4.3 Billion dollars is lost each year due to this phenomenon! Enough said.
We have discussed color, clutter and now it is time to address the issue of security. This is perhaps the most difficult challenge you face. How do you develop trust with a customer through a web page? If you have followed the suggestions we have already covered it will go a long way toward giving you business a professional look. Some other things to do include:
1. Have an easy, no hassle return policy.
2. Give detailed descriptions of your products. (Pictures)
3. Provide a way to give quick response to questions.
4. State your security policy on each page.
5. Provide testimonials – word of mouth is still a great tool.
6. Send a confirmation e-mail to your customers. You want them to visit again.
This is a vast area of marketing and we have barely scratched the surface. Take the time to look at your store and see if it reflects what you want your prospective visitors to see and know about you. Maybe some of the things we have talked about will help you become the businessperson you know you really are. Best wishes!
