+ Introduction +
=====================
Hi, it's me again!
Sorry if I'm a bit late this week, a power cut put me 6hrs behind
schedule. I don't know what it's like in your part of the world,
but cuts in the power or water supply are fairly common
occurrences in these parts (Malaysia, home of the tallest
building in the world, and other 'mega' projects... hmm?). What's
worse is you're never given any warning (it's not very pleasant
waking up in a hot humid climate to find you've got no water to
bathe, or no electricity to power a fan/air conditioner!).
Anyway, enough of my whingeing...
A couple of days back, I got word of a new affiliate program
directory 'portal' that's well worth you getting involved in. I
had planned to include all the information about it here, but it
was just too much. Instead I've sent the full details in a
separate "Biz Bits part 2" mailing.
If you want to get started right away, here's a quick overview:
"Affiliate Options Directory of Affiliate Programs"
URL: http://www.nowsell.com/affoptions.html
* List affiliate program's you are a member of in the directory
using YOUR referral URL, providing no one else has already done
so (be quick before everyone else gets there first!).
* Join and receive a FREE portal to affiliate programs you are a
member of, and entry point to your own affiliate programs
directory.
* Recommended list of affiliate programs to join, which if you
already belong to, you can simply add your ID number and visitors
will be transported directly to YOUR affiliate page for the
program.
* Each recommended affiliate program in your directory is
supported by two autoresponders, one which provides PRODUCT INFO,
and another which provides AFFILIATE PROGRAM INFO. Both contain a
hot link with YOUR affiliate URL.
* Become an affiliate member by upgrading your FREE page to a
paid affiliate and you receive more benefits and the opportunity
to earn commission income for sign-ups.
Go there fast! http://www.nowsell.com/affoptions.html

I've seen a sudden upsurge in the spam I receive over the last
week or so, and suspect I'm probably not alone. I've even got one
bright spark (an *ex*-subscriber!) sending spam messages to every
address displayed here in Biz Bits, including the 'yes', 'no' and
'err' vote addresses... and he tells me in each it's a reply to
my mail!!
Spurred into action, I finally got around to paying a visit to
the "Spam Cop" site that Don Morris told us about in a post of
his a few weeks back (Don's the Moderator of the Biz Bits FFA
list and an expert on laser printers, pay him a visit at
http://www.lasermedic.com you're sure to learn something, and
may save some money too!).
I've not yet completed my registration to the free service (they
suggest setting up a free email address to use "just in case"),
but having gone through the information they provide, I would
suggest anyone with a spam problem pay them a visit. After
learning about the service and joining, to report spam you simply
send it to them (with complete headers), together with a brief
explanation of why you believe it to be spam. Spam Cop take care
of contacting the ISPs concerned, saving you a lot of time.
Echoing the words of Spam Cop themselves, I'd just like to remind
you to be certain that any email you report is indeed spam.
Imagine yourself as a juror in a trial; can you be sure beyond
any reasonable doubt that the email is spam? If there could be
any other explanation - however remote - *don't* make a report.
You may ruin an innocent person's livelihood. http://spamcop.net

In a variation on the usual 'Paid To Surf' programs, Ignifuge
pays you to set your browser's start page to their URL. I find
this nice simple solution particularly appealing because it
requires no download and is platform independent (i.e. Mac
friendly).
It pays on multiple levels and is still new, so if you think you
might be interested, *now* is the best time to join.
Go here: http://www.nowsell.com/ignifuge.html
My own take on this is quite simple: my browser's require a start
page be set, and though I seldom pay it any attention, it
probably loads 30-40 times a day. If someone wants to pay me for
that...
... please, be my guest!! ;-)

=====================
This is the place where we take a quick poll for a snapshot of
the Biz Bits family's position on a given topic.
This week:
Regarding the question of spam: If you send a post to Biz Bits,
should your email address be automatically displayed at the top,
or only if you have chosen to include it in your sig file
together with your URL?
YES! >>>> mailto:yes+nowsell.com
It verifies that the post is genuine and allows other subscribers
to get in touch off list. It's unlikely the address will be added
to a spam list, especially since Biz Bits can only be read by
subscribers!
NO! >>>> mailto:no+nowsell.com
It may expose the sender to spam attacks. It should be their
choice whether to include it or not. The URL of a website is
sufficient for those that wish to contact off list!
ERR? >>>> mailto:err+nowsell.com
I'm not sure... depends...?

I only subscribe to a few ezines at a time, and I thoroughly
investigate an interesting web site before visiting another!

Looks like we all need to learn more about managing the never
ending stream of information we have access to! I think one of
the first skills one needs to acquire online in this connection
is the ability to quickly scan text for useful information.
Another is developing an effective filing system of your own, and
making sure you use it religiously.

How To Develop Killer Online Products That SELL!
------------------------------------------------
by Lee Benson & Bill Nieporte
With more than 6 billion dollars of online revenue being produced
in 1999 alone, the chance of e-commerce and global sales is now
remarked as a definite reality. To put it bluntly, the Internet
is producing a heck of a lot of profits for many Internet
Marketers worldwide.
For example, take a glance at my situation. I'm Lee Benson, the
'infamous' CyberProsper Internet Marketer +
http://cyberprosper.com
I live in Europe, a continent known for it's high phone charges
and it's sense of conservative human morality. Unlike the USA,
many people take the "It won't work" approach to lots of things
in life, and so the talk of producing hundreds of thousands of
dollars of profits online every year would tickle anyone's
skeptical side.
However, despite the dull, non-entrepreneurial environment that
I'm forced to live in, I still manage to collectively earn a
gross profit of over $50,000 dollars EVERY year online.
It's the same with my friend (and co-author of this article), Dr.
Bill Nieporte + http://ezinesuccess.com
We virtually live on the Internet, spending hours per day
'tweaking' our sites and actively studying the Internet Marketing
process.
Allow me to add that we also:
* Work from home, which is both flexible
and needless to say, comfortable.
* Have no need to travel to work at
inhumane hours, facing the challenge
of daily traffic jams and the
9-5 rat-race atmosphere that so
many of us are sucked into.
* Have no bosses - that's right,
no need to suck up to anyone in
the effort to invoke a pay rise
or to be told what to do and
when to do it. This means we're not
working to contribute to anyone
else's success but our own.
* Produce thousands of dollars of
online profits, by simply using
a home computer and having the
'right' website and sales system
in place.
I could go on and on, the benefits are endless. We know that and
you probably know that. The point of this article is to set your
life in line with these benefits so you CAN and WILL start living
like this. It's about HOW you need to start.
----------------------------------------------
So How Can You Achieve This With The Internet?
----------------------------------------------
Unfortunately for a lot of people seeking Internet riches, the
talk of money clouds their vision to see the TRUE reason why
E-commerce is now producing billions of dollars online every
year.
It's all about the customer. They want QUALITY products or
services, and they're willing to pay good money to receive those
products.
So if the customer WANTS good products or services, why do people
continue to promote rubbish?
Quite simply, because they don't CARE. The talk of the 'quick
buck' is their only goal, and that's all they'll consider...
Not only is this a completely stupid move, but it's also the
quickest path to failure.
Your clever sales letter may initially dupe your customer into
spending their hard-earned dollars, but you can bet your life
you'll end up paying in lost credibility and returns.
What I'm about to show you is the simple 5-step approach to
achieving online success by producing your OWN products or
services. Dump those zillion-and-one worthless affiliate
programs, and develop your own solid program.
If you're serious about creating an impact on the 'net, then this
is the only way to go. The benefits are amazing.
Don't get me wrong, a LOT of money is being produced with
affiliate programs. But to be honest if you're ONLY promoting an
affiliate program, you're not really owning your own business. To
me, affiliate programs are great side-line income produces, and
I've developed many profitable techniques to integrate them into
my every day business life.
However, what I'm about to teach you now will produce the basis
for which all future online ventures will build upon.
---------------------------------------------
Are You Ready? Good, Then Let's Begin ....
---------------------------------------------
Step 1 - Defining Your Product
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I'm constantly asked the reoccurring question of 'what sells
online'. To be honest, there is no one single answer to this
question.
However, the question of 'what sells BEST online' can be defined
more easily. Quite simply, information-rich products or services
are the HOTTEST online sellers.
Let's consider Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. His company
is built entirely on information-rich products. Their biggest
money-earner is software, which is just data. Nothing more than
information, a collection of binary digits that forms a program.
Microsoft earned over 19 billion dollars this year selling
software (amongst other products). See the potential here?
But it's not just software that sells like hot cakes. The old
saying that 'knowledge is power' is becoming more and more
believable, because it's knowledge and information that sells so
well on the Internet.
If you have the *information* to create a solution to someone's
problem, and there's a HIGH demand for this type of info, then
Hey Presto. You've struck gold. You've found the PERFECT product
to sell.
Why? Let's find out...
Step 2 - Creating A Product With A HIGH Profit Margin
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Internet is making more millionaires than any other invention
in history. Never before has it been so possible for the average
person to go international and to earn excessive amounts of money
selling products and services online.
And why? Because virtually ALL of the overheard and production
costs are eliminated with many online products.
You can get started for less than $250 a year (that's to cover
the website hosting costs) and then you simply purchase a domain
name and design your site for free by yourself. Once you're up
and accessible on the WWW, the potential for global sales exists.
Compare that to the costs of an offline shop, and you'll see why
the Internet is being favored.
In the real-world you have to pay for land rental fees (which can
be hundreds of thousands of dollars), hiring staff and staff
training, interior decorating, product inventory and much, much
more.
On the Internet however, none of these costs need exist. You can
create a powerful website for free using your home computer, and
get your own domain name and website setup for a few hundred
bucks a year.
With this in mind, why should your production costs be any
different? You can create an information-rich product from home
that provides valuable information, and produce and replicate the
SAME informational products at no extra cost.
It's only data, and data costs nothing to produce. However, that
doesn't mean people aren't willing to pay BIG money for valuable
information.
For instance, if you sold a 10 page book that told people how to
earn $2000 with the stock exchange, then chances are an investor
would be willing to pay $500+ for that valuable information, even
though it costs only pennies to reproduce.
It's the quality that counts, not the quantity. Even if your
product takes only 10 minutes to reproduce and no-cost, your
customer will still pay BIG for valuable information.
Notice that I say 'valuable information'. Not just any old
product will sell. Forget those 'Buy 5000 reports for $30'
programs. Create a BRAND NEW informational product that's
guaranteed to satisfy.
A 'Splat In Your Face' Example:
Have you noticed the amount of Internet Marketing courses being
advertised at the minute? And why do you think that is? Simply
because a LOT of people want to know how to successfully sell on
the Internet, and the people who can teach them that will earn a
lot of money (and are doing).
And this is exactly what you should be aiming to do. Create a
product based on your OWN expertise and offer that advice for a
fee.
Step 3 - Automation Is The Key To Success
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"The Secrets To Internet Marketing Success. Order NOW and you can
be reading our POWERFUL marketing course within 30 seconds."
What do you think of the statement above? Better still, what do
you think a customer would think of the above statement?
People are impatient creatures. When they want things, they want
them NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, but now. And if you can
give them that information NOW, you're already half-way toward
making the sale.
Automation is the key to success with any online business. If you
sell an information product, then why not offer an IMMEDIATE
download for your customer as soon as they've ordered the
product?
Not only will this satisfy your customer a great deal (They get
INSTANT access to the info they're eager to read) but it'll save
you a lot of hassle too.
Your website is a VERY powerful selling machine. If you have the
right knowledge, you can automate the process of virtually every
business task.
For instance, once a customer fills out their payment
information, you can create an online ordering system that:
* Automatically verifies the customers' credit card information.
Once accepted, the payment is immediately added to your account
and a thank you screen is presented to your customer.
* Automatically emails the customer thanking them for their
order, and gives them information on how to download your
online product.
And you have no intervention with this process. The money that
the customer spent is yours, without ANY inventory/overhead costs
whatsoever. Plus your customer gets INSTANT access to your
quality product. The result? You're both happy-chaps.
Therefore, your product margin can be HUGE. Whether you make 1 or
101 sales per day, your costs stay the same. Making 10 sales per
day with a product that you charge $49 for would make you $490
every day - with NO production costs.
Step 4 - Encourage Repeat Sales
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If your customer is happy with their purchase, chances are
they'll buy more from you in the future.
Therefore, starting your own customer announcement list is a
smart and worthwhile move.
If you have a database of 250 happy customers who trust you for
the quality of your products, then making monthly or bi-monthly
announcements to them for further quality products that you sell
will likely result in a high response rate.
Keep track of your customers and contact them regularly to keep
tabs on their progress and to find out how your product is
helping them.
If you show that you care, chances are that they'll be
comfortable making future purchases with you so the process of
convincing needn't exist.
Step 5 - Niche Markets Are The Biggest Money Earners
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Niche markets are smaller, specialized fields of people looking
for particular things. There seems to be a rule on the Internet
that shows a definite trend toward niche markets.
Quite simply, if you target specific people, you're almost
guaranteed to earn more money than someone who offers general
services.
Think about it. If you're wanting to hire an accountant for your
new travel agency, would you go to a general accounting firm or
would you find an accountant that specializes in offering
services to travel agents?
The latter, right? So this is a positive indication of how you
should target your market.
Try and offer information-rich products to people with specific
problems and needs. Not only does niche marketing attract more
targeted, specific people, but your website and sales literature
will speak to the prospect in a more personal way.
----------------------------------
By Way Of Contrast : Some Examples
----------------------------------
Looking for inspiration to create your own online products? Well
if the above explanations haven't tickled your creativity, here
are some specifics:
* Downloadable, Electronic Information Books
============================================
This is my personal favorite. If you can create an informational
product that teaches people to:
'Earn An Extra $2500 With Their Website By Implementing 5
Little-Known, And Secretive Strategies'
or
'Lose 10 lbs of Fat In 10 Days, And Pack-On Slabs of Solid
Muscle'
or anything else that fits into your line of expertise, then
chances are there will be bunch of people who are interested in
what you have to say.
By offering this information as an IMMEDIATE download once the
customer has paid, you:
* Eliminate all production and delivery costs
* Lose no money if the customer requests a refund (but of course,
your product will be SO GOOD that this won't happen anyway,
right?)
* Have the chance to target repeat purchases
Open your eyes and see the potential.
* Online Automated Services
===========================
Who said that you only have to sell products? You can offer great
AUTOMATED services as well that include all of the benefits
previously mentioned.
Take a look at http://GetResponse.com for an example of an
automated online service. Simon, the owner, earns in excess of
$100K per year offering this online service - which requires NO
extra work on his part. All it takes is a good service.
* Software Available For Download
=================================
This is possibly the hardest route to take, unless of course
you're a professional computer programmer.
Remember, electronic books and informational products require NO
skill to produce. You can purchase e-book production software
that turns informational products into downloadable program
files.
However, if you have the ability to offer software, then this is
another GREAT product to sell. After all, the Internet is just
purely data.
Happy Marketing!

[New Topic] Recommendations for Merchant Account Companies?
- William R. Montgomery
- Azam's Comment
From: webmaster+makingprofit.com
To: BizBits+topica.com
Subject: [NEW] Posting.
I own a small 2 man Web Design Company specializing in small
businesses, that up to now has soley served my local area. I am
expanding into web hosting, as many of my design clients said
that they would prefer to do business with me.
So, now I begin the task of taking credit cards online. With the
Barrage of Online Merchant Account Companies How can we tell
which one, if any is worth what they're charging?
Are their any that don't charge an outreagous amount to get you
started?
Is there any way around getting a merchants account. I checked
into a couple of companies that handle the task for you, but they
have limitations on how much you can charge.
So here I am.....
Would love to hear any suggestions or referrals (not looking for
resellers trying to make a buck..)
Thanks

*Azam's Comment*

Thanks for your post William.
I would suggest the first stop when looking to open a merchant
account be your local bank(s). The chances of being taken for a
ride are much slimmer than online, plus should you happen to
already have have an account there, you won't need to worry about
volume ceilings or locking up funds in a deposit, plus you can be
certain of being treated as a real person rather than simply the
name attached to an account number. You're also likely to pay far
less, and perhaps best of all, if you have a problem, a few
minutes in the car will put you face to face with someone to sort
it out.
If you can't find a local bank willing to provide merchant
services, I suggest you visit http://www.merchantworkz.com/ for
comparisons of various services.
At http://www.merchantchecks.com/comparisonchart you can view a
printable chart comparing 34 different items to consider when
selecting a merchant. Though clearly promoting it's host,
MerchantChecks, it nevertheless serves as a useful guide to
hidden costs.
As to whether or not there are ways around getting a merchant
account, yes there are. Services that allow you to set up your
own e-commerce store can be used equally well to sell fixed price
services or 'packages'. You might want to take a look at the
Beseen "Buy it" button service I mentioned last week [
http://buyit.beseen.com/ ] though I'm not sure if this can be
used in conjunction with monthly payments. Unless they are used
for tracking purposes (you'll have to check), I see no reason why
you shouldn't be able to change the graphic displayed to
something of your own design if required.
Though not suitable for goods that need to be shipped offline, or
where monthly billing is required, ClickBank at
http://www.ClickBank.com offer a comprehensive service that has
received favorable reports (though I suggest you calculate the
total cost involved). The following is taken directly from their
website:
"ClickBank enables you to accept payment without the expense or
delay associated with a regular merchant account. A one-time
$39.95 activation fee, and a $1 + 7.5% fee per sale. There are no
monthly fees. ClickBank also provides you with your own fully
integrated affiliate program. This allows you to make more sales
by harnessing the marketing power of ClickBank's network of over
20,000 affiliates."
You might also want to look into the new service offered by
eCongo at http://www.econgo.com . I've been having a look around
and it seems pretty impressive. This is what they say themselves:
"Create your eCongo site online with no HTML or programming.
Everything you'll need is included: an online catalog with
built-in shopping cart, comprehensive reports, online customer
support, and site hosting at eCongo. Share in system-wide
advertising that you create with an easy-to-use web interface.
Automatic registration with search engines and expert advice from
our merchant network is also included to ensure your success!"
They can assist with merchant accounts through their partnership
with Cardservice International.
Whilst on the subject, merchant account provider Todd Sumrall has
published a free ebook about fraud and chargebacks to merchants
who accept credit cards. The book also contains an interview with
a chargeback supervisor and an attorney who specializes in the
merchant account industry. You can download "Protect Your
Merchant Account From Fraud and Chargebacks"at Todd's site:

STOP WASTING YOUR FUTURE
by David Deeson
Are you frustrated by your lack of progress, dismayed by your
prospects? You can change all that right now and rewrite your
life for ever more.
Desire and Motivation are Not Enough
We all want to succeed in life. But desire to change your life
isn't sufficient. Nor is motivation. It is futile doing the same
things again and again in the vain hope that somehow, someday,
you will get a more positive result. Continue on that track and
you might as well exchange your life for the fly trapped in a
room. It bashes itself against the glass in the hope of escape,
only to expire, oblivious to the open window or door nearby.
People who achieve aren't lucky. They are doing the right things,
consistently.
Eliminate the procrastination, self-sabotage and fears that are
preventing you from making each new opportunity really work for
you, and you too will begin to move forward each day and produce
the results required to change your life forever.
So Easy - And Yet So Difficult
All you have to do is to decide to change, to go in the right
direction. It couldn't be easier, and yet most of us find it the
most difficult task we are ever faced with.
There is an enormous power within each and every one of us to
change the quality of our lives whenever we want to. It is the
power of decision. And it is never too late to harness it. The
only irreversible mistake is to ignore it.
Don't waste any more of your future. Make the decision to
succeed. Not tomorrow, next week, next year, but now. And from
this moment onwards work at succeeding day in, day out. No great
leaps and bounds are required, just be consistent.
Do that simple thing, and there is nothing in this world which
can stop you from fulfilling any aspiration you care to reach out
for and make a reality.
