A Note from Mal Keenan
===================================

Greetings friends,
How's it going?

Ok we're coming to the end of the year and things are pretty slow in the world of online home business.

Maybe a good time to introduce some discounts on your services or products. This is an effective way of increasing online sales at this quiet period of the year and if you have been watching your e-mails lately you will see that many other people have the same idea.

Just a thought. Let me know how it goes:-)

Til next time

Your friend in success

FEATURE ARTICLE - Nine Inexpensive Ways to Advertise Your Web Site
===================================

By Stephanie Foster

1. Put your Web address on ALL your regular advertisements for your business. This includes business cards, print ads, receipts, television commercials - EVERYTHING. Your regular customers will often be just as interested as those just finding out about your business. Many people enjoy looking at products online, even if they buy directly from you. Make it easy for them.

2. Include your Web address on your signature line. From emails to discussion boards, this is a simple way to get your name out there. Don't make it into too much of an advertisement, unless discussion boards allow it. A good rule of thumb is to keep it short, 6 lines at the most.

3. Write articles on a topic related to your business. You don't have to be a great writer, and it doesn't have to be long. Just tell people what you know and keep a personal touch. You want to be seen as an expert, so when customers want something, they think of you as a good resource. Don't make your article be just a long ad for your products or no one will read it. Submit customized versions to online newsletters - find possible ones at sites such as http://www.ideamarketers.com/, http://www.marketing-seek.com/, and http://www.zinos.com/.

4. Create your own opt-in newsletter. With sites such as http://www.topica.com/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/, it is easy to create and send out your own newsletter. Market your newsletter along with your website. It will keep people coming to your site. If you can't write enough articles, check the previous topic for sources of articles. You can also have sections such as "Ask the Editor," what's new at your company, guest columns, quotations, special offers or just about anything else relevant to your area of expertise. As with articles, don't make your newsletter too much of a commercial for your business.

5. Place a decal or bumper sticker on your car. Advertise your site when you're out running errands. This is effortless once you have the sign up. You can order them at http://www.webdecals.com/ or http://www.stickerz.com/.

6. Send out press releases. This takes a bit of time and effort, but media coverage will greatly increase the popularity of your site. Try http://www.press-release-writing.com/ if you want to do it on your own, or hire a writer. Remember, you are announcing an event, not advertising your business. Sales will be a side benefit.

7. Word of mouth. Ask your customers to refer you. Give them extra business cards to give to their friends. This makes it extra important to keep your customers happy, since it can work against you.

8. Flyers. Ask around at local businesses if you can leave flyers or brochures at their stores. Some will have a place for you to leave them. Check your local libraries and post offices for community bulletin boards as well.

9. Get listed on search engines. There are companies that will let you do this for free and there are companies that will charge you for this. Whichever you choose, make sure that you are hand submitted to the major search engines such as Google. It will greatly increase your odds of getting a good listing. If you want to do it yourself, try http://selfpromotion.com/.

TIDBIT OF THE WEEK
Send your home business tidbits to
readers@home-business-tips-newsletter.com
===================================

Find yourself a niche in business and use the Pay Per Click Search engines to send some immediate traffic to your website. If you can find something rare enough then you won't pay too much for each click through and can more or less sit at the top of Yahoo and Google for your product or service keyword.

The trick is to track your campaign and if you're making a profit on each sale then expand into other PPCSEs until you're making a healthy income. It takes a little work but if you hit the right market then you're laughing all the way to the bank.

GUEST ARTICLE - The Most Powerful Wealth Building Secrets Known
===================================

By Jay Abraham

After spending over 31 years researching, studying, analyzing, and identifying the most powerful and critical business systems and profit generating mindsets.

I've discovered that all incredibly successful pre-eminent entrepreneurs, business-builders, innovators and nationally recognized professionals all share a specific mindset.

And it is this mindset that is the single biggest cause for their brilliant achievements.

I'd like to share with you 9 of the 26 mindset that all these great masters of business building and life mastery have possessed

1. Setting And Playing By Their Own Rules. The successful people I have studied did what they wanted - the way they wanted to do it! They didn't hold back. Nor did they follow the status quo.

2. Easily and Effectively Overcome Obstacles. No matter what the setback (financial setbacks, health problems, cash flow difficulties, lack of education) EVERY successful person managed to triumph over their obstacles (and everyone of them had at least one)

3. Turning Negatives Into Positives. The super achievers I studied did one thing better than anyone else they competed against. They reframed every problem or disappointment they faced into a solution or opportunity for greater success.

4. Persistence. Everyone falls off the horse. But the people I studied got right back up, dusted themselves off, and tried again and again until they succeeded.

5. Ethics. The people I've studied have the highest ethical standards of anyone I've been exposed to. They took firm stands on what they believed in and did what was right. They didn't compromise, they didn't sell out, and they didn't lower their standards.

6. Belief And Commitment. Persistence does not work without a clear, strong belief in your unalienable right to have the goal and reward your after.

7. Focus And Unstoppable Drive. Persistence, belief and commitment are all essential to success. Yet, without clear focus and unstoppable drive, you'll only accomplish a fraction of your true potential. Focus is the ability to never let diversions get in your way. It's the ability to cut to the "bottom line essence" in everything you do

8. Risk Taking. Super successful entrepreneurs know when and where to take astute risks. They know how to take them for maximum yield but minimum down side. Most people I meet however are afraid to take risks.

9. Fearlessness. The sky will not fall ...the world's not collapsing ...you won't go broke or look stupid as long as you continually take forward action. Actually, doom and failure only go to those who stay in the status quo.

Simply being aware of these 9 mental factors will make you far more prone to success, starting right now.

So take the time to commit these to memory first, and then incorporate them into your being.
