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.

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.
Affiliate Funnel Is A Different Way Of Thinking When It Comes To Downline Building
Affiliate Funnel is a different way of thinking when it comes to downline building. Downline building has been around since the beginning of the internet. The offer is very exciting, let people know about your product or service, refer a few folks and presto, you are on your way to massive success. What’s the problem with this scenario though?
Simple, downline building isn’t as effective as it once was years ago. Sure there are people making lots of money online using their downlines and affiliate marketing strategies but during the past few years a change has been taking place.
It’s called the marketing funnel and if you think of the pyramid look of a ‘downline’, flip it!
Here’s how it works. Get as many people as you can into the top of your funnel and funnel them down into paying customers. Start with a free front end product or service and then let your marketing turn those free leads into paying customers and clients.
Affiliate Funnel is a service that does this plus so much more. It is an all in one business hub that shows you how to properly promote online using the best free resources around and channel these leads into a thriving downline. This is the power of a well put together marketing funnel, taking leads and turning them into clients.
Affiliate Funnel is owned by a guy who has built a massive six figure business using free resources and his own marketing funnel. Paul Kinder has put his experience in a bottle and packaged it for anyone to check out for free at: http://tinyurl.com/3heyaph

Optimizing Your Squeeze Page in Your Ezine Articles
by Rahimah Sultan
I just found some great information on optimizing your squeeze page in your ezine articles.
Squeeze pages are landing pages that are set up to get your visitors to give you their information so that you can build your list of prospective customers. They ask visitors to subscribe to whatever product or service you’re offering such as newsletters, videos, consulting, among other things. They are more than an opt-in box on your site, since there is usually only one choice.
The article shows you how you can build a list of highly qualified leads using your articles to do so. It details things to consider before linking to your squeeze page in the ezine articles.
If you’re including a link to your website, is it relevant, easy to navigate, transparent, is the material compelling, and is there balance. If so go ahead and link to your blog or website and your squeeze page in the Resource Box of your article submission.
If you’re not planning to include a link to your blog or website, you need to consider other things and then link to your squeeze page in the Resource Box of your article submission. Here’s a great flow chart to help.
Check out these great tips for Optimizing Your Squeeze Page in Your Ezine Articles.
