Do you post to message boards, e-mail discussion
lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites or newsgroups?
People will usually read the subject line before they
read your ad or message, so it's important they get
noticed. Below are ten simple, but powerful tips to
get your ads or messages noticed.

1. Use extra white space creatively in your subject
line. You can add extra blank spaces between your
words or letters.

2. Combine capital letters with lower case letters.
Use all capital letters in every other word or use a
capital letter between every other lower case letter.

3. Add text symbols in your subject line. You could
use them between words and letters. Start and end
your subject with a text symbol. ( *, $, >,{,] )

4. Begin your subject line with the word "STOP!".
People have been trained their whole life to stop
what they are doing when they see that word.

5. Ask people a question in your subject line. We
all went to school and were repetitively branded to
answer questions.

6. Use the word "FREE" in your subject line. Your
offer should be attractive to your target audience.
It could be free information, software, trials, etc.

7. Begin your subject line with an "online smile :)".
People use smiles offline to gain people's attention
and to win their trust, why not use them online too.

8. Don't use unbelievable claims in your subject line.
People have or know some who has been ripped
off and trained themselves to ignore those claims.

9. Don't use all capital letters in your subject line.
It is hard to read, looks unprofessional, and on the
internet it's considered a symbol for shouting.

10. Test different subject lines to see which ones
draws the most traffic to your web site. Also, read
the FAQ before posting a message or ad anywhere.

Product Review: The Lost Files

2006-08-04T19:29:00.000-07:00

In a nutshell, this program is one of the easiest and best ways for anyone,
novice or experienced entrepreneur, to set up a successful new business
on the Internet or regenerate an old business.

It takes advantage of a huge number of books, courses and reports that
are in the public domain. In other words, these are materials without
copyright protection. Which means you can use them practically any way
you want.

You can reformat the material and sell it as a CD course, produce a recorded
book or simply republish it word for word. You can tear it apart and paste
portions into your web site. And take all the information, edit or change it
and put your own by line to it.

However, there are several problems involved which make The Lost Files
almost a necessity if you want to get into marketing public domain products
on the Internet. You can find it at:

http://www.thesecondtier.com/gwmegaton/thelostfiles

This service searches out unique books, reports and courses with interest
appeal for today’s market. A lawyer then researches any possible copyrights.
And the material is digitized for use on your computer. The service even
provides a professionally written and compelling sales letter for each selected
product.

As Internet marketer Patric Chan says, "With The Lost Files I no longer
have to worry about the technical part of finding public domain material
and getting the legal stuff right. Lost Files is an excellent resource for anyone
who wants to make money out of public domain with ease of mind."

Participation in The Lost Files requires a membership.
The cost is $27 a month.

Your membership provides you with two ‘ready to sell’ public domain
books every month. These books are available in four different formats
(text, word, rtf & pdf). This enables you to do almost anything you want
with the material.

And when you consider that finding and purchasing a copy of just one book
can cost a hundred dollars or more (depending on its rarity). That a few
hundred more would have to go out to a lawyer. And that if you have to
pay to have it digitized for your computer...well you can see for yourself
that the membership fee is an absolute steal.

By providing the books in an Acrobat Reader format you can begin
selling them immediately. When coupled with the outstanding sales letter,
you have a dynamite profit generating package.

With your books, you also receive a certificate signed by an attorney
assuring you that the books are free of all copyright restrictions. And the
program also includes a full training area where you are shown, step-by-step,
how to turn your books into cash.

If I have any complaint at all with Lost Files it is the fact that I can get only
two books a month. But then again, I have to realize that by doing a really
good job of marketing each book, I am on the way toward generating a terrific
income. And I will probably be as busy as I want to be.

I think best selling author Mark Joyner expressed it perfectly when he said,
"Selling public domain work is a great way to make money if it’s properly
packaged with additional value-added materials and presented with a killer
sales letter.

"Lost Files has done all of that for you - just add your own marketing and
you’re set.
This is an excellent service for someone looking for a product to sell."

10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines

2006-07-07T19:15:00.000-07:00

There are millions of web sites trying to get listed in the top 20 spots
of the major search engines. That amounts to a lot of competition!
I say if you can't get listed at the top, indirectlyget to the top.

How do you do this? Look up the top 20 web sites on the major search
engines under the keywords and phrases people would find your web
site. The key would be to then advertise on those web sites.

The most expensive way would be to buy ad space on those web sites.
If you don't want to spend any money, you could use the ten strategies
below. These strategies may not apply to every web site.

1. Participate on their discussion boards. You could post questions,
answer other peoples questions, and join in on conversations. Just
include your signature file and link at the end of your messages.

2. Ask the web site owner if they would like a free ebook to giveaway
to their visitors. You could have them link to your web site or include
your ad in the free ebook.

3. Submit content to their web site. You could write articles for their
web site and include your resource box and link at the end of the article.
If they publish it, you'll indirectly be at the top of the search engines.

4. Write an excellent article review of their web site, products or services.
Then publish the review on your web site. E-mail the web site owner and
tell him or her about it. They may link to your web site so their visitors
read it.

5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want to trade advertising.
If you don't get as much traffic as they do, you could throw in some extra
incentives.

6. Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site. You both could
promote each others products or services together in one package deal.
This means a mention and link back to your web site.

7. Give the web site a testimonial for their product or service. Include
a little text link for your web site with the testimonial. You never know;
it could end up on their ad copy.

8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad section on their web site.
You want to be sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.

9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links page. You want to go back and
post your link regularly so it stays towards the top.

10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short compliment about their web
site on their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at the end of
your message.
