Building your online business and keeping your visitors, customers
and subscribers happy is no easy process.

Some people want everything for free, others want everything for
a low price. The truth though is that you simply cannot please
all the people all of the time.

It is a mistake I fell into earlier online, even though I had
been successfully builing offline companies for years.

Finding the balance to your business is not an easy one, and it
is much of a learning process like in any business sector.

Do not be afraid to ask your visitors for feedback, get customers
to send you their real thoughts an opinions of your products and
services, and most importantly, make yourself available to them
and do not simply hide behind an email address.

If you have been a members, subscriber or customer of mine for
any length of time, you will already know that we have email
contact links, customer support desk and even a company telephone
line that people can reach us on.

This has led to contact from the offline market of small business
users, and not just one market sector.

Being available, and making attempts to ask your customer for
feedback is crucial if you are to survive.

In this past week, all I have read about from some of the gurus
is about recession this and recession that.

Down turns appear in any business and throughout the life of
practically any business that spans decades rather than week,
months or even a couple of years.

Be prepared to flex with your market and seize opportunities when
you can.

If you have read Donald Trumps stories to date, you will see that
he had no picnic and was very close to losing everything a few times.

Yet it was his innovation, entrepreneurship and enthusiasm for his
business that forced it to become an influential business player,
and his name to be synonymous with success.

Go ask your customer about you and your business today.. Who knows
it may lead to your next big product, your first major idea, or the
road to riches you seek?

Look out for news from me soon about a new piece of software I am
launching at a ridiculous low one time price.

Have a great day, and make someone elses day great.

Having fun in the Winter Sun…

We arrived in Cape Town to a down pour of rain (typical at this time of
year in the Cape & more like what I am used to back in the UK).

It all started with us losing our video camera, which means I am not
able at this point to send you any videos of the Cape, which is a shame
as it is so beautiful here.

The first place we were staying at was some 5 hours drive along the Wine
Route and into the Garden Route of South Africa. We did not like the first
place we came to for various reasons, so our first night we checked into
a local hotel. Not bad, The Wilderness Something cannot remember the
full name.

The following day we headed back toward Mossel Bay area and found a
lovely apartment that we are now renting for a week which overlooks
the sea. Whales and Dolphins swim along these shores, so we have spent
a little time on watch.

Internet connection is up and down, so it make is difficult to get
“regular” work done, but still the income comes in from our membership
sites and other businesses online.

The wonderful thing about working online is the ability to set up a business
that carries on paying you even when you cannot “make it in for the day”.

We are moving back along the coast toward Cape Town this coming Thursday,
and I hope to get some images up on the blog for you to see.

Despite being winter here, it still gets up around the 20’s by day, and
the sunshine is wonderful.

Working from home, or from your internet connection is not for everyone.
Some months you can make 4, 5 or even 6 figures (some people even more),
and other months can be lower, maybe even the hundreds when you are getting
started.

But the potential to release yourself from the standard 9-5 and Monday
to Friday grind makes it way more than worth while.

If you have been reading our Learn4Profit blog, you will find some useful
articles about getting started. Expect more from me soon, including our
new guide. If you are still on the fence about getting started on the
Internet, then all I can say is give it a try. You have nothing to lose
provided you are sensible with your spending on your education.

It is as easy as finding a market that spends money that you have an interest
or passion for and then doing some research, setting up a site and getting
it going.

Do not expect miracles overnight, but do set up a plan and goals to achieve.
Commit to writing content each day, adding value to your readers, giving
a little of yourself in your work and being honest.

If you want to know how to make your first $10 online and move on to making
just say $500 per month, then look out for more news from me soon. Yes of
course you can make more, but once I show you how to make a consistent
monthly income, you will see how simple it will be to just build your business
from that point forward.

If you want to learn about making money with private label rights, then
check out my simple video course with content:

Making Money with Private Label Rights

Also, refer to our post about PLR content from John Delavera, a great monthly
membership with awesome content.

Post about Private Label Rights on this Blog

Have a great day wherever in the world you are, and I look forward to posting
some more news about our South African Adventures soon.

I just sent out an update to one of my member groups on a Private Label Rights
package that I am currently selling. I set up a full 2 and half hour video
training program that teaches people how to make money with Private Label
Rights products.

It is already an absolute no brainer purchase as it costs just $67 but shares
some awesome information that can make you money in PLR and even your own
product creation.

But I had one email recently from a buyer asking me where they should purchase
more PLR content from that I recommended. Well there is a wealth of places, and
I even recommend some in my resource report in the members area. These are places
I use myself and highly recommend.

But it got me thinking. Whilst $67 is a great starting price for anyone to learn
the basics and tricks to selling Private Label Rights content, I realise that some
people are really strapped for cash and may need some help.

So I decided this morning to add 25 ready made PLR products to the members area
and then anyone purchasing would now also have their own resource of PLR content
to actually work with. Then I let my current buyers know about it, so they could
download them too.

Well, to my surprise I have already had 6 people contact me to say thanks for an
awesome bonus I love it when we can make people happy. So now you can learn
about making money with Private Label Righs, and you get a head start with a
pack of products to use in many popular niche markets.

Michael Cheney recently took a look at the videos. If you do not know Michael,
then you really should invest the time to look him up. He has released some
gems of video training over the past couple of years and knows his stuff.

Anyway, Michael has actually sent me a personal testimonial for my site..
You can read what he had to say for yourself, just pop over to:

==>> Make Money with Private Label Rights

We also have an affiliate program where we pay you 50% on any personal sales
you make of this product. With the eBook PLR Packs alone, this is an easy sell
for you to make, and with the training videos, it is a no brainer.

If you are not making money with Private Label Rights at this point, you
could really benefit from this course

All the best for today,

Internet Connection woes - How to cope with change

It is amazing how we always take things for granted when we are used to having
them. Take for example my internet connection back in the UK. I have a 8mb broadband
connection in the UK that is always on.

My use of the internet is around 3GB of transfer per week, and it costs me just
£15 per month for that service.

Now I am here in South Africa on our travels and attempting to continue business
as normal. We shout about the benefits of working online and having our own portable
business, but sometimes the reality does not match up to the promise

One part of my business is that I do video work for other people, and not just an
autopilot business that runs itself. Usually this is not an issue, as I upload videos
of 20 - 150mb with no problem. Then of course, once people check the video and request
any changes, I then finish the video, and then upload once more.

This usually takes minutes to do on my UK connection.

On our travels in South Africa, we are using 3G connection via a wireless connection
and Vodacom’s USB Modem. So imagine my shock and horror today, when I started to upload
a video for a client that is only 22mb in size, and the connection says, uploads of
around 80kb - and a video upload time of around 5 and a half hours.

I have 3 videos for my client, and in 2 formats, a total of around 120MB of data to
upload.. Hmmm, that could mean over 30 hours to upload the files Not good..

Plus, to make it better, the connection keeps dropping, so I have to start over.
As we do not have a fixed ADSL line available, for the meantime, this is what I am
left with, but it really makes you appreciate the “old” connection costs and access.

The best part of all is that for just 5GB of data transfer, I will pay £75 or $150
here in South Africa.. a HUGE increase to my business costs.

As always we will find a work around, but it makes you appreciate the creature comforts
of home when you are used to the fast relativey regular connection speeds.

Have a great day

Martin

“Making it Happen”

Creating prize draws for your sites can bring back members time and again,
but it can also create a “buzz” if you make it so that people who refer
others can increase their chances to win

We realised this for ourselves back in 2006 and launched the Prize Draw
Generator script.

Well today, I am pleased to accounce the site has a little make over and
has had a dramatic price slashing…

What used to cost $147 is now only $27, who knows for how long? I may
get my senses back and put the price back up.

Where else can you get a membership script that also has a built in
prize draw feature I wonder?

It made sites like Listlotto build at a rapid pace, and even some major
product launches have had the Prize Draw Plugin to assist them in their
sticky appeal.

Any comment?
