e-BizResources Update
August 7, 2006
=====================
Hi there,
Michael here. Welcome to the latest issue of "e-BizResources Update". I hope you're well. There's a lot here for you again today.
Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder what you've achieved? I know I do at times.
With so much going on online, it's easy to get caught up in all sorts of unproductive activity.
I'm subscribed to umpteen lists at the moment and I'm sure you probably are too. So I get a ton of emails each day,not counting the outright spam! Nowadays, I mostly skim the subject lines and only open those that catch my interest or are from my subscribers.
I'm gradually unsubscibing from many of them so I can regain some of my time.
And, as I'm sure that you're probably in a similar position, I won't be promoting many of the big "giveaways" in future unless you want me to. If you do want me to continue, let me know through the contact form listed here under "9. Tell Me What You Think".
Likewise if there are any subjects that you want covered, let me know about those too and I'll try to include them.
Anyway, here's a list of what you can lok forward to in this issue.

2. The Lighter side of Life #1
A man went to the doctor complaining of insomnia. The doctor gave him an exam and found nothing physically wrong with him.
“Listen,” the doctor said, “if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you need to stop taking your troubles to bed with you.”
“It’s true,” said the patient, “but my wife refuses to sleep alone.”

How To Use "Viral Marketing" To Generate More Traffic.
Copyright (c) 2006 Quick Turn Marketing International, Ltd.
Have you ever visited a site, like what you see… and then told your friends about it?
OR
Have your friends ever told you about an interesting or useful site they've visited in the last 30 days?
I'll bet this happens almost every day, or at least weekly. Believe it or not there is actually a method to this madness. These seemingly random acts of "kindness" or referral may actually dramatically impact your business.
OK Dan, so what are you talking about, right?
I am talking about Viral Marketing. Viral marketing is key to your business. It is a simple and effective tool you can use to drive traffic to your site, without spending thousands of dollars implementing more expensive marketing tools.
How can you take advantage of viral marketing?
The easiest to make your visitors tell their friends and relatives about your site is by implementing a "tell-a-friend" script.
If done correctly, a "tell-a-friend" script is one of the most powerful traffic-generation strategies you'll ever use. And it's FREE!
Here's how it works…
You ask your visitors to enter the name and e-mail address of friends and relatives they think will be interested in your site. Then, the script automatically sends a personalized e-mail promotion about your site to all their friends from the visitor.
Now how are you going to get your visitors to enter the names of their friends and relatives that may have an interest in your site? Simple…
Give them an incentive. Make them an offer. Tell them WHY they should refer their friends.
You can't just expect your visitors to enter information. Remember they are giving up some of their free time to refer other people to you. You have to make it worth their while. You have to sell it.
If you want to watch the way I do it, go to:
Dan's Tell-a-friend example.
Don't forget, you also have to provide your customers with practicaland useful content. You want information on your site your visitors truly believe will benefit their friends.
After all, they don't want to look like an idiot, and neither do you! If you don't provide good content, in fact if you provide anything but the best, I don't care what "bribes" you offer… your visitors won't refer anybody to you.
By doing this you can simply and easily virally grow your list automatically!
Where do you find "tell a friend" scripts? You could get some free tell a friend scripts if you do a Google search.
This is the script I use is:
Tell-a-Friend Pro
And if you're a technical dummy like me, you can ask Paul to install the script for you.
A simple twist to this strategy is you can have a tell-a-friend contest as well. A protégé of mine did a tell-a-friend contest that was extremely successful. He increased his traffic by 5-fold in that week.
How?
What he did was very simple, stating whoever referred the most visitors to his site in that week would get a free IPOD. Slack, eh?
Let me tell you another killer viral marketing strategy that very few people use.
Giving away a free e-book is a pretty common strategy. But what I want you to do is to create an e-book for your AFFILIATES to give away to their lists.
Let's say you have a 20-page e-book. Instead of asking your subscribers to pass it along (which is not very effective) you encourage your visitors to join your affiliate program. Then you let them customize and brand the e-book with their own affiliate links for your products!
Now, they're motivated to tell everyone about you. Now they're motivated to pass it along the e-book to every single soul they know. Why? They are getting something out of it!
That's not all. The people who read the e-book might also become your affiliates, they will go to your sites, create more customized e-books and they too will pass those e-books to more people.
Do you understand the power of this? That's viral marketing on steroid!
If you're still a little confused, check out.
Dan's Viral eBooks for his affiliates.
And see the various brandable e-books I offer my affiliates.
And the people who read your e-books are much better prospects because they're pre-sold on your materials. So they're much more likely to buy from you when they hit your sales page.
So what are you waiting for? Start cranking your "viral marketing" machine today. You'll see that your traffic and sales will grow steadily with absolutely no work on your part.
Like the infomercial guru Ron Popiel said, "Just set it and forget it!"
Sincerely,
Dan Lok

8. Quotable Quote
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
