Autoresponders: Getting Started
by Rahimah Sultan
Making money on the Internet with your new business can be a bit difficult unless you have an autoresponder.
An autoresponder is the ideal way to handle your daily business operation and save you time and money. Getting started with autoresponders requires a bit of research to determine which one best suits your needs.
If you have a limited budget there are places online where you can get free ones. Just know that they normally place ads on your emails, which will more than likely give your customers the wrong impression of you.
But if your budget is truly limited, it’s best to start with free and then upgrade as your finances allow, because an autoresponder is an absolute must for making money.
The first thing you’ll need to do when you get your autoresponder is set it up with follow-up messages or articles that relate to your business or products, so that the email messages you send out contain material that relates to your offers.
Do try to create some of your own if you can. If you use pre-written emails, change them up a bit to reflect your own style of writing.
When you load your autoresponder try to load it with at least 52 messages. This way, you’ll have something to send for each week of the year. If you have trouble there are places online where you can get your material for free. If you simply don’t have the time, start with a few messages and add more as you can.
Once you have your autoresponder preloaded with messages or articles, you’ll need to set up your signature. Your signature will be displayed at the bottom of every message your autoresponder sends, and it should be your name and the link to your business. You can also add a short description of your business. Your name and link to your business shows your customers you are a professional.
Once you have everything set up you can start sending out emails. Your autoresponder can be set up to send messages automatically. You can send out emails daily, weekly, or monthly. The choice is yours. Most autoresponders are flexible, easy to use, and will send out your messages when you decide.

How To Start A Website Business
In Merv Stevens’ article How To Start Website Business, he states that everyone has skills, whether it’s writing or approaching others and starting a conversation. He says that to put your best foot forward and increase your chances of success, you have to think about the things that you do best when you research affordable home based business opportunities.
Stevens, of WealthSuccessVentures.com, discusses four points in that regard.
1) Understanding the value of persistence
2) Emulating those that are successful
3)Looking for products that are consumable
4)Considering businesses that offer passive income opportunities
On the first point, he states that in order to succeed you can’t give up. Too many people give up on perfectly good affordable home based business opportunities far too soon. There are thousands of success stories of men and women who absolutely refused to accept defeat.
On the second point of emulation, be sure you know who is providing the online courses that help you start up and run affordable home based business opportunities. Do your homework and make sure the people providing these courses have successful track records.
The third thing is to offer products that are used up and re-ordered, so that there will be a constant demand for what you offer. These can be food, soap, skin care products or other items that people use every day.
And finally, look for affordable home based business opportunities that provide passive income. These are best for making a lot of money. For instance, network marketing offers the opportunity to get paid on what you and your team do. If you get a good group under you, you’re paid whether you do anything or not.
Affiliate programs, where you advertise and make sales for a commission, is another way of getting passive income. Many of these programs are very affordable home based business opportunities, since they cost little or nothing to join.
It’s hard to choose. But, settle on something you’re comfortable with. Choose quality products and never give up. Affordable home based business opportunities with passive income features let you earn income while you sleep. This is how to start a website business.

Starting an Internet Marketing Home-Based Business
by Rahimah Sultan
Decide whether you want a home job or a home business. Do you want to work from home for someone else, have a business that you run from home, or have an Internet business that generates income with a few hours work each day. Once you are clear about what you want, then you have a better idea of how to proceed.
Now you must decide on an area or niche. To do this, think about what you have always wanted to do or your passion, if you will. Do you like helping people or weaving baskets or giving advice or writing or using computers or maybe cooking? Take time to really come to know what you like and want. Forget the job mentality altogether. Just focus on what would really make you happy and fulfilled.
Once you have decided, start looking for sources of information in that area. If you want to have an Internet business, then go online and search the topic(s) you want. Just start getting information. Don’t sign up for anything…
Don’t be one of the 97% of online marketers who fail.

A Mile To The Library For Real Books
by Rahimah Sultan
While taking few minutes break and ruminating on what to write about today, a nice summer breeze came through my window. Since I was trying to decide on a subject, my mind went back to my earlier years and my love of reading. There’s a break in the heat wave we’ve been having here and the temperature is about 75 degrees F, which reminded me of walking a mile to the library in Ohio when I was young and returning in time to sit in the porch swing and read before dark.
Remember when we were young and it was fun to read an actual physical book? Well, maybe reading was not a lot of people’s idea of fun, but it was for me. I used to try to figure out how to get more reading time, especially in elementary and junior high school (now known as middle school) with all the homework.
Books
I really looked forward to summer when school was out and I could walk that mile to the library and return home with at least four books that I had a month to read. In junior high it was pretty much the same scenario.
I remember a couple of my teachers (probably English) giving the class a reading list of classics to be read. I think it was given out a couple of times. I still have mine in a folder with an ongoing list of authors and titles I’ve wanted to read over the years.
As the saying goes, time really flies. I didn’t get to War and Peace until I was an adult and had returned to school when my children were teenagers. As anyone who has read it knows, it’s terribly long and is tedious reading with the philosophical interjections of Tolstoy. It took me three weeks to read it, including weekends. Since then I’ve read Anna Karenina at least three times, and I have the actual book. I love historical Russian novels.
Tablet and Ebook Technology
Anyway, the point of this prattle is new-fangled technology. I love having actual copies of books in my hands when reading. There’s something really comforting about curling up with a good book, and feeling and turning the pages as you read.
I have nothing against the advancement in technology. It’s great, since time seems to be scampering along so quickly and everyone needs to squeeze so much into each day. Having a tablet or ebook allows for reading on the go. I suppose they’re also convenient for students.
Advertising
Although walking a mile to the library for real books was fun, there are now alternatives. These days, working from home online doesn’t allow me much reading time, no matter the form. So, I must say that ebooks and tablets allow people who access the Internet to see and buy products. Any business needs advertising, and that advertising needs to be available on the technology that people are using.

Get Paid To Publish A Newsletter Online
Making money online is a matter of finding an audience who you can either advertise to or receive direct payment from. Either way, you need something interesting or informative with which to catch and hold your readers’ attention. Your content is everything. You can get paid to publish a newsletter online containing your information.
I’ll show you how you can make money presenting and distributing content via a newsletter and how you can connect directly with your audience.
How To Get Paid To Publish A Newsletter Online
First you will need to take care of some technical details.
Newsletter Distribution
The best way to distribute newsletters is through an autoresponder list service. These can be set up to automatically deliver pre-written emails to subscribers at set intervals. Each new subscriber will receive all of the emails in a predetermined sequence. That means you can load up a year’s worth of content (or more), and it will automatically publish straight to your subscribers’ email boxes without you touching it again!
There are many autoresponders to choose from. A free autoresponder can be downloaded from responders.com, but you can get a more professional program from aweber.com. These programs will also help with managing your subscriber list, so you stay spam compliant.
GVO’s hostthenprofit.com is a full service system. You can host your websites, set up a meeting room, plus all the things a simple autoresponder does and for far less money per month than aweber and some others.
To get paid to publish a newsletter online it needs to be attractive, easy to read, and compatible with different computers and internet browsers. You can create beautiful PDF documents using free programs.
Content
You don’t have to create all your own content. You can get free stock photos and articles from sites such as publicdomainimages.net and ezinearticles.com. You can also pay for pre-written content from sites like associatedcontent.com.
Email newsletters are perfect for marketing your own products
If you are running an online business an email newsletter would be perfect for marketing your own products. You could also make money by selling space to advertisers or even charging for subscriptions.
By using the tools from services such as hostthenprofit.com or others, you can grow your online newsletter list to hundreds or even thousands of people.

Blogging Tips
by Rahimah Sultan
Are you having trouble with blogging? Are you at a loss for article subjects?
Here are a few blogging tips.
There are subjects all around you. Just be aware of your surroundings.
You can use newspaper headlines, people watching (what you’ve observed someone doing or making, etc.) or what someone did at the grocery or department store.
You can also research information online. It’s your blog.
You can talk about whatever you wish. If you have a niche-specific blog you probably want to make the article relative to that niche.
While making the article relative to your niche you can use analogies.
For example, you observed someone buying flowers. You can tell a story about the type and color, how carefully they were handled and discuss the customer service.
Then if your niche is internet marketing, you can relate this to products for your customers and your follow up customer service.
Once you think of a topic make an outline just like you did for school papers.
The outline should include:
A Title
An Introduction
Some Key Points
A Conclusion
A Resource box
Here is a very basic outline.
Title
The title should be in bold type and it should be engaging. It should set the tone for the entire article.
Introduction
An introduction is self explanatory. In this article, all of the above is the introduction beginning with the question “Are you having trouble with blogging?”
Headings
Your key points become your headings. I suggest an absolute minimum of three key points. They should also be in bold type.
Conclusion
Your conclusion is a summary of your article and anything else you wish to state that is directly related to your topic.
Resource Box
You can also include a resource box with your picture, a bit of information about yourself, and a link to your site or products.
In summary, you now have a template that you can use for every blog post. You can save it in outline form and use it over and over.
It contains a title, introduction, several key points related to your subject, and a conclusion.
Now you can get busy using this template of blogging tips to make your writing easier.
6 Advertising Tips
by Rahimah Sultan
There are many options available for advertising your business. Six advertising tips are listed here that could be the best way to reach larger audiences within a short period of time for the least amount of money.
Create a website
You can create a website and then place a link to it on other sources that accept ads.
You can optimize your pages and submit them to search engines. Some take money for placing an ad or link on their website, some take money only if a visitor clicks on the link or website and some take money only if the visitor visits a link and buys a product or service. There are many options available for the type of ad to be placed. These include pop-up ads, banner ads, wallpaper ads, video ads, etc. A low-budget option is sending emails to targeted customers.
Presentations of your products
Another way to advertise is giving presentations for your products. Brochures and business cards can be inserted into the business presentation package. Be sure to have accurately designed business cards that include all the vital information about the business like the name of the company, location, services provided, hours, phone number, cell number and contact person. Personalized business cards are a good way to reach customers.
Distribute newsletters with information about your latest offers and discounts. Informational letters of a page length and e-mails can also be sent on a regular basis.
All of this can be accomplished a lot easier by contacting companies who can provide the mailing list of a particular locality, for a small price. You can check the yellow pages for such companies. After getting the information get in touch with the company to get a copy of the latest mailing list. The fees differ from company to company.
Yellow pages
All businesses both large and small place ads in the yellow pages and have benefited. When you place the ad you should include your contact information and products and services.
Radio and TV stations
Radio and TV stations offer better prices during non-peak times, especially after midnight. Check with your local stations for pricing, time slots and discounts.
Newspapers
One can always use newspapers for advertising. First decide on your target audience – age group, sex, and location. Then choose the local newspaper and section where the ad will be placed depending on the audience to be targeted. The classified section of newspapers has special offers. Check the details of the pricing structure for the size of the advertisements, number of words, font size, etc.
Word of mouth
Last but not least, there’s always word of mouth. You can grow your network by joining organizations that deal with advertising like trade associations and chambers of commerce. Active participation in events of these organizations eventually helps you to reach a larger number of prospective clients.
