Get excited and stick with a plan... ANY plan

by Stone Evans
"The Home Biz Guy"

This whole making money on the Internet thing really fascinates me...

I wake up every morning with a renewed sense of curiosity and excitement about the possibilities ahead.

Making money online is easy. Finding the time to do everything that can be done to make more money online is the only real challenge.

The fact is, there are so many different ways to make money online that it's easy to get distracted. This is actually one of the biggest stumbling blocks for people who get online in hopes of making money... They jump around too much.

If you're interested in eBay, pick up a course that teaches you how to make money on eBay and stick with it until you've figured it out. If you're seeking residual income, join a reputable online MLM and follow the plan until you reach your goal. If you want to receive checks from Google every month, grab a course on Google's AdSense program and apply the steps within it until you are making money consistently.

The point is just to stick with something... anything. It's pretty difficult to fail if you just stick with something until you've figured out how to succeed. Think about it...

To making money online,

Make Money on Your Computer – Goodbye Daily Commute

By Bill Schnarr

How much time do you have during the course of a month to make money on your computer?

Try and think about how much time and money you spend each month simply going to work, and compare that to spending that exact amount of time on your PC earning a part-time income to supplement your income. Most of us work for 40-50 hours a week.

Then there is the drive to and from work, and it may surprise you to know that the average person spends another 20 to 40 hours per month simply getting to and from their job. Add in the time it takes to earn the money you need for car or transit expenses, work lunches, clothes…the list goes on and on.

Now what if you were to use that computer you have sitting at home for a higher purpose than simply checking email and chatting with your friends? What if you could make money on your computer – maybe even enough to quit commuting to your lousy 9 to 5 job and become a successful dot-com business owner?

Well, you can. In fact, anyone who has a computer, an internet connection, and a willingness to become an internet success story can step out of the rat race and really start to enjoy life. Whether you are writing e-books, selling on e-bay, or become an affiliate marketing expert, the internet is waiting for you and your fresh ideas to make a go of it in cyberspace.

Writing e-Books – Share the Secrets of Your Success!

The e-book business is booming these days as people are starting to realize how their knowledge can be used to help others and make some money. Do you have a skill or trade that you know about? Of course you do. The truth is that everyone has a hobby, skill, or trade that they know enough about to string together an e-book. Your knowledge that has come from the experiences in your life is worth money to people who don’t have that knowledge!

Signing on to companies such as (www.ebookcreate.com) or (www.7dayebook.com) is a great way to get started. Some e-books are novel lengths, but others are as short as 20 pages! And once you are done writing your book, you can easily promote it and set whatever price you want. Not only will you make money from people excited and ready to pay for your knowledge, but you’ll also have the satisfaction of being a published author with real publishing credits.

Selling on EBay – Building a Career off the Highest Bidder

In the years since EBay (www.ebay.com) first appeared on the internet, it has quickly become the world’s largest garage sale/swap meet/online store. Not only are huge companies now making money by selling on EBay, but individuals and families have realized that they can build a career buying and selling their wares on the internet.

In order to really get a handle on the fast paced world of EBay selling, check out companies that specialize in bidding and selling strategies online such as (www.auctionsecrets.com) or others, such as (www.expressprofitsonline.com). Making a living off EBay can be an exciting and rewarding career because you are literally shopping for a living!

Affiliate Programs – Be your Own Middleman

Making money on your computer is quickly becoming synonymous with affiliate marketing. That’s because it’s easy, creative, and the money you can make online is only limited by your willingness to learn the ropes and stick to it.

Affiliate marketing is a term used to describe websites designed to promote products for other people’s companies. For example, if you were to set up a website that discussed your favourite Disney movies of all time and your articles had links directing you to a Disney merchandising site so people could by products, you would effectively be an affiliate marketer for Disney. The company with the goods would pay you a set amount of money either for every person you directed to their products or for every person who bought something off the website.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to start money coming and keep it coming. By writing articles about things you enjoy, you’ll have fun writing up the content for your websites and your writing will be more passionate. Later, as your company grows, you can find a professional writer to do your writing for you to increase your sales and improve the professional look of your articles!

Affiliate marketing is an industry, however, and it’s important to learn about how the system works if you are going to be successful at it. Places such as (www.work-at-home-net-guides.com) are the perfect place to find downloadable information and e-book training courses to help get you started.

Why are you wasting all that time and money going to and from your job? Wouldn’t you rather work at home and be your own boss? Maybe it’s time to hang up your car keys and work clothes and look at a career as a successful dot.com company. Your family will love the extra time your spending at home with them, and you’ll be happy making money on your computer in the comfort of your own home.

"You are the way you are because that's the way you want to be. If you really wanted to to be any different, you would be in the process of changing now." - Fred Smith

Many times we make a commitment and let our own mind fool us into thinking the pain we encounter from the task of doing the necessary actions far outweighs the result of not doing what we need to do. This lack of action can cripple your success as a network marketer. Lack of actions creates frustration and causes those who don't have the guts to do what they need to do to make excuses and eventually quit.

If you truly want to become a success in the network marketing industry, you must first start by altering your thought process. I think Zig Ziglar says it best. Zig says, "Most people who fail in their dream, fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment. Commitment produces consistent, enthusiastic effort that inevitably produces greater and greater rewards." He then adds, "Motivation gives you the 'want to.' Training gives you the 'how to,' and the combination produces the neccesary creative ideas to be more effective in realizing your dream. Commitment, discipline, and responsibility keep you going even when the going gets tough."

Realize that building network marketing business, you WILL encounter challenges... it will be tough... and it also WILL be very rewarding personally, professionally, and financially. But you must first make a commitment and then follow-through. I know, you know, I know you can do this. It is up to you to make the choice to succeed. It is either success or failure! Decide success is the only choice, then take the neccessary action consistently to get the job done.

Be a leader... and be an example others can follow... you ARE climbing to the top... you can do this!

TIP - If you are not reaching your goals and/or benchmarks, get coaching. A coach can get you on the right track of your success as a network marketer here

How to Profit with a Direct Sales Web Site

As Internet marketers, we all share a common problem: How do we KNOW what our visitors are looking for?

Sure, we can guess what they want. We can list all of the benefits that WE think are valuable, and all of the problems WE think our products help solve. But if we don’t push our visitors' hot buttons right away, they lose interest and leave.

That's why I was really excited to hear about a new audio interview that's just been released called "How to Profit with a Direct Sales Web Site," a conversation with a legendary Internet marketing genius they're calling "Mr H".

Why am I so excited about this interview? Well, quite simply, Mr H has actually figured out a way to get his visitors to TELL him exactly what they're looking for!

And boy, is it working for him! Even when he was just getting started, Mr H was already making $3,500 PER DAY with just 100 visitors a day AND a product that costs less than $160! Since then, he has fine-tuned his follow-up system and exploded his referral business -- and his revenues have ballooned to $8.1 Million!

And the very best thing about Mr H is that he can't keep a secret! He actually wants to TELL YOU all about how he's doing it!

He sat down with Internet marketing guru Corey Rudl (someone else who's no stranger to Internet success) and the two of them talked for nearly two hours. What Mr H had to say will blow you away!

In a nutshell, he actually reveals his entire recipe for success! It seems that he owes all of this wealth to five simple but innovative strategies. That's it! Just five easy-to-implement strategies that can transform any web site into a moneymaking machine! AND, he actually goes through all five strategies, and describes each one in detail!

I was blown away the first time I heard this interview! The second time I listened, I still couldn't take notes fast enough to keep up! I had to listen three times before I could even begin to absorb all of the incredible information Mr H reveals.

In fact, there's just so much information in this 101-minute interview that Corey even decided to create a special 32-page strategy guide to go with it -- in order to make it easier for you to implement all of Mr H's ideas!

This interview -- which is available on 6 CDs or 6 cassettes -- is definitely a 10 out of 10! Listen to it yourself and change the way you do business on the Web forever!

Increase Your Target Markets

Are your products or services geared towards only one
target market? You can increase sales and profits by
increasing your target markets. Below are some creative
ways to increase your target markets by using your existing
products and services you're selling right now.


REDESIGN

You can increase your target markets by redesigning your
products and services. For example: you're selling a book
called "Internet Marketing Tips For Accountants" You
could rewrite part of your book and call it "Internet
Marketing Tips For Lawyers". You've now increased your
target markets by redesigning your book.


ADD-ON

You can increase your target markets by adding on other
product or service with your main one. For example: if
you're selling a football magazine you could add a free
football when someone buys a subscription. You're now
targeting people who want the football magazine and those
that want to play football out in the yard. Sometimes they
buy stuff just to get the freebies.


TEAM-UP

You can increase your target markets by doing a cross
promotion with a similar non-competeing businesses. For
example: your business sells tennis rackets and you find
another business to cross promote with that sells tennis
balls. You could combine your racket and their balls in
one package. You are now targeting people that need
tennis rackets and balls.

Review: Empowerism

International Success Mentoring

If you're looking for a solid business opportunity that literally empowers you to succeed, look no further than Empowerism.

Empowerism has been empowering ordinary people since 1998 and has paid out more than 9.2 MILLION in commissions to their affiliates since May 8th of 2005.

Janet Wilson, CEO of Life, Education And Prosperity, Inc., a corporation formed in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A., developed the highly successful Empowerism system, which offers a low-cost subscription to an automated database marketing system and training in NetMarketing (the combination of Internet Marketing and Network Marketing). Janet's business philosophy is this..."To offer ongoing, high-quality, 'affordable to the masses,' global success systems and mentoring to everyone intending to start an online business, bring an existing offline business to the Internet, or simply learn Internet marketing and personal success skills. The Empowerism training and business opportunity are designed to empower people worldwide through knowledge, inspiration, encouragement, motivation, and new perspectives."

Empowerism is literally a subscription to success. Empowerism takes ALL of the guesswork out of NetMarketing success by providing you with...

A Turnkey Marketing System

Your Empowerism subscription comes with an auto-responder pre-loaded with a series of promotional letters that will be automatically sent to your leads. What's more, you're even supplied with 50 targeted opt-in leads each and every month -- the leads alone may be worth more than the subscription price. What's more, you can buy as many additional leads as you'd like.

Excellence Magazine

The ONLY 20+page training and success-building, ad-free magazine published by an Internet-based company. All of the articles are either written by the Empowerism company or hand-picked by Janet Wilson, who demands only the best of quality for her publication.

Power Training Center

A cutting edge training center with quality Internet marketing tools, step-by-step tutorials, and much more to teach you exactly what you need to know to be successful.

Power Training Lessons

A series of 'how to' and informational training lessons to assist you in marketing, goal-setting, business-building, home-based biz tips, and much more.

Money Making System

Although recruiting new members will help you increase your profits, it's not a necessity. That's one of the great things about Empowerism. You don't have to recruit anyone to make money. Not everyone wants to recruit new members and Empowerism understands that.

For this reason, Empowerism offers two extremely powerful options -- RSVP and MVP. Both of these programs are absolutely incredible. To give you an example, for every $25 you spend in leads, you'll get $2000 in return! It sounds unbelievable ... I know, but after you review these programs and discover exactly how it works, you'll understand how incredible this really is ... Learn more about this powerful program at the Empowerism site.

The MVP is a powerful program that enables your money to double 5 times. For example, if you were to purchase four shares at $200 each, after 5 cycles, the $800 investment will turn into $4,000 cash!

Compensation Plan

As if the RSVP and MVP programs weren't enough of an incentive to join this powerful company, there's more...

Empowerism enables you to recruit new members in which you will receive residual (monthly) income. If you did not personally refer members in your downline, you will receive $1 each month for every member in your matrix. The great thing about Empowerism is that you will receive spillover from members above you. Your downline has the potential to continue grow and earn you more and more money over time as more and more people are enrolled.

For every member you personally refer to Empowerism, you will receive a $20 "Fast Start Bonus" + $7 per month in residual income. The "Fast Start Bonus" is great because you get paid each and every week. It can really add up.

What Makes Empowerism Such a Success?

Empowerism not only provides you with the exact information and tools you need to be successful, but it also provides you with a turn-key, profit generating system that really works.

Thousands of people who have never been able to make money online before are now making money with Empowerism. This company is truly amazing.

What's more, Empowerism is the system of choice recommended by dozens of top Internet marketers like Michael Glaspie of BannersGo MLM, Internet Millionaire Shawn Casey, Stone Evans of Plug-In Profits and Bob Wilson of CashPromotions.

If you've been on the Internet for a while, you know 'the money is in the list.' And, what better way to buy leads than through Empowerism? Where else can you invest $25 to purchase leads and months later, get $2,000 in return? You won't receive that kind of return from your bank. It's simply amazing.

What's more, you can purchase as many leads as you'd like and get the same return on each purchase. Although the RSVP program is great, that's not the only reason I'm so excited about Empowerism. They also provide you with a great program called MVP where you can purchase advertising packages and get double your money back!

Empowerism is literally paying you to allow them to build your list and advertise your products! It just doesn't get any better than that.

In addition, the Empowerism site is literally bursting at the seams with great tutorials for just about every aspect of Internet business, so it's great for newbie and professional marketers alike.

If you truly want to build a successful online business, one that enables you to earn an above-average income (or more, depending upon your personal persistence and determination), look no further than Empowerism. This impressive program stands head and shoulders above the rest.

If you're serious about your success, Empowerism is an absolute MUST and highly recommended.

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

eBay secrets to earn millions

================ FEATURE EDITORIAL ============

1) "Discover the 'Insider' Strategies This eBay Expert Used
to Generate $8 MILLION on eBay Last Year -- and How YOU
Can Put Them to Work in YOUR Business!"

=================================================

What if I told you there's a way to start your own profitable
online business... without building a web site... without
knowing anything about the Internet... and maybe without even
knowing what you are going to sell?

And what if I told you that you could accomplish all this
overnight -- and immediately have access to 2 MILLION eager
buyers, every single day!

Well, you might not believe me... until I explained to you that
you can do all this and more on eBay.

eBay.com is the world's leading online auction web site. Like I
said, more than 2 million shoppers gather on eBay EVERY DAY to
spend more than $86,000,000 bidding on almost every product and
service imaginable -- including collectibles, appliances,
computers, furniture, clothing, toys, vehicles, real estate,
and more.

eBay has designed a user-friendly system to make it easy for
absolutely ANYONE to put an item up for auction and take
payment with almost zero computer knowledge.

For the first time ever, anyone can start an Internet business
-- without a web site and with almost zero start-up capital --
and have instant access to eager buyers!

.. OR, you can easily grow your existing online business by
expanding into eBay's giant online marketplace of ready buyers!

-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Why you ALREADY have an *enormous* competitive advantage
on eBay

-----------------------------------------------------------

By now you're probably thinking... If it's so darn easy to make
money on eBay, why isn't everyone setting up shop and getting
rich?

The fact is, the large majority of sellers on eBay are "hobby
sellers." They might have a few items up for auction, and they
might make a few bucks from time to time... but they are NOT
making a full-time living on eBay.

You see, getting started on eBay is pretty easy. eBay gives you
everything you need to get set up and get selling right away.
Anyone can do it.

.. It's taking your sales to the "next level" that can be
tricky.

The only way to AVOID this huge learning curve and become a
truly successful, profitable seller on eBay -- the kind who
rakes in $100,000 a year or more -- is to look to the experts,
follow their advice, and use their proven techniques.

But the problem is, most eBay sellers are extremely secretive.
They just don't want to give away their competitive advantage.

That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to eBay millionaire
Brandon Dupsky...

Like many eBay sellers, Brandon started out by selling a few
old items out of his basement.

He tested many different strategies and toyed with different
approaches for the first couple of years, until he'd pinpointed
EXACTLY what products sell best on eBay... what selling
strategies are most effective... and what techniques ensure
his auctions are visited by swarms of eager bidders.

Since then, Brandon's eBay business has exploded! And today
his business, Sell2All, ships from 30 different warehouses
across the United States.... runs over 3,000 auctions every
WEEK on eBay... and has done a whopping $20 MILLION in sales
-- $8 million last year alone!

And the best part is, Brandon has agreed to let me give away
some of his key strategies for profiting on eBay from the
start... and taking advantage of the massive income
opportunities offered by this giant online marketplace.

-----------------------------------------------------------

2. Take advantage of MULTIPLE profit opportunities on eBay

-----------------------------------------------------------

One of the most eye-opening parts of my discussions with
Brandon was when he explained to me why eBay is a LOT more
than just auctions!

There are many different ways to make money on eBay -- and not
all of them depend on auctions! That means you can try out
different selling techniques... OR you can combine these
strategies to create multiple streams of income, and explode
your profits on eBay!

For example, you can...

>> START A NEW BUSINESS ON EBAY:

eBay makes getting your new business started a snap. You
can literally follow the step-by-step format and have your
first moneymaking auction listed in the space of an hour.
Absolutely ANYONE can start listing items for sale on eBay
today.

>> EXPAND THE MARKET REACH OF YOUR EXISTING BUSINESS:

If you already own a business -- online or brick-and-mortar
-- eBay is a simple, effective way to instantly expand into
a new marketplace.

You can use eBay to sell off surplus stock or out-of-season
items that just won't sell through your regular channels.
Or, try testing new items to see what kind of response you
get on eBay before introducing them to your current market.

Or you can simply offer the same items as in your existing
business to this brand-new market of two million people per
day!

>> OFFER A FREE NEWSLETTER AND BUILD YOUR OPT-IN E-MAIL LIST:

eBay allows you to collect opt-in e-mail addresses from
some areas of the site.

This means you can put an offer for a newsletter or a
free report on eBay and collect hundreds or even thousands
of new opt-ins. Then you can follow up with each of these
interested subscribers and offer them a related product!

>> OPEN AN EBAY STORE:

An eBay Store is like having your very own permanent web
site on eBay, separate from your auctions and with only
YOUR items displayed.

One of the biggest advantages of an eBay Store is that you
can list your items for much longer periods than with your
auctions -- and with much lower listing fees (though you
pay higher final sale fees through this channel).

The other enormous advantage of an eBay store is that you
can cross-promote related items from your auctions.

For example, say you are selling men's shoes through the
auction format... You could include links in your auction
listing, suggesting that you have more sizes, plus special
insoles and maybe some socks -- all available in your eBay
Store!

>> BECOME AN EBAY TRADING ASSISTANT:

Trading Assistants are like consignment sellers; they sell
products for other people and take a predetermined cut of
the final price.

Becoming a trading assistant means that you don't have to
worry about finding products to sell on eBay (this is one
of the toughest tasks of an eBay seller) -- because people
bring products to YOU!

You can even go so far as to open a "drop-off store" where
people can drop off their items for you to sell, then split
the commissions with you.

In fact, Brandon has THREE drop-off stores located across
the US, creating a strong "additional" revenue stream for
his business!

Whether you are looking to start a new business, expand your
existing business, or create additional sales channels on eBay
itself, eBay offers you a wide range of low-risk opportunities
for success -- with big profit potential!

-----------------------------------------------------------

3. How to reduce the risk of selling through auctions
-- and make sure you profit from each sale!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Regardless of how low the risk is to start selling through
eBay's auctions, there is always the chance that your item
might not sell for the price you were hoping for.

Whenever you post an item for auction, you are gambling that
public interest in the item will drive the price up. A common
strategy is to find an in-demand item and list it at a
desirable time, then sit back and let a bidding frenzy ensue!

However, there is the chance that your item may not spark a
bidding war... and it may sell for the low price you listed
it at. This may not be a risk you are willing to take.

That's why Brandon recommends the following strategies you can
use to reduce the risk of selling on eBay to zero...

>> SET A "FIXED PRICE":

Rather than auctioning an item, you can put a fixed price
on your products just like in a brick-and-mortar business.

This method works really well for selling commodities like
household appliances or electronics. Buyers can easily
compare prices online for products like blenders and hard
drives, so there is less chance of a commodity item being
"bid up" in an auction process.

By setting a fixed price, you never have to wonder how much
profit you will make on the sale -- and your buyers can
purchase their items instantly without waiting for a
lengthy auction to run its course!

>> USE "BUY IT NOW" (BIN):

eBay's BIN option is like a combination of a regular
auction and a fixed-price sale. You can list your items
like an auction with an opening bid price, and also tell
buyers what price to pay if they want to purchase the item
immediately.

If a buyer places a bid, then the BIN price is no longer
available and your auction runs its course. If a buyer
chooses to "buy it now," then your auction ends because the
item is no longer available to other bidders. There are two
ways that you can set your BIN price to attract buyers:

- Set a BIN price that's just a small amount higher than
the auction starting bid to entice buyers to buy
immediately and get a great deal.

- Set a BIN that's much higher than the auction starting
price to increase the perceived value of the item to the
buyers -- and set your starting bid at a price you'd be
comfortable selling at.

Either way, you'll sell your item at a price that YOU feel
comfortable with, instead of leaving it up to your bidders.

>> USE "BEST OFFER":

When you use the Fixed Price format to list your items,
you have the option of accepting "Best Offers" from buyers
-- they can choose to purchase the item at your price or
make an offer at a lower price. When you receive an offer
from a buyer, it's up to you to decide if it's fair.

A best-offer format is a good way for you to show buyers
there is some room for negotiation or flexibility on the
price, without jeopardizing the amount of profit you make.

>> USE A "RESERVE PRICE":

Every seller has the option of placing a hidden "Reserve
Price" -- or minimum acceptable winning bid -- on the
items you auction.

This means you can set a low starting bid to attract
interest, but you're not obligated to sell unless the bids
surpass that hidden price. This strategy is useful when you
are selling a unique or high-value item.

For example, if you are auctioning the Tiffany lamp that
your grandparents received as a wedding gift, you don't
want to risk selling it for a low opening bid!

Setting a low starting bid will grab a lot of buyers'
attention and keep your listing fees down. And putting a
reserve price on the auction means that you are guaranteed
the item will sell for a price you are comfortable with.

>> USE "SECOND CHANCE OFFER":

It's uncommon, but the fact is that in rare cases, a buyer
who wins an auction fails to follow through with payment.

However, don't worry! eBay wants to make sure you are
protected in situations like this. So -- with no penalty
or extra fees -- you can offer your second-highest bidder
a chance to buy the item at the price they bid.

You can also use these "Second Chance Offers" when you have
more than one of the same item for sale...

If the second highest bid was acceptable to you, you can
actually make two (or more!) sales in one listing. This is
a great strategy that can result in at least 30% more sales
on your auctions!

design, because eBay gives you all the point-and-click
templates you need. Everything you need to get up, running, and
making a profit in the first 48 hours is at your fingertips!

list a few items for sale on eBay and instantly take home
buckets of money.

The fact is, a full 54 percent of auctions on eBay receive
no bids at all! That's why you need to make sure you are using
the right strategies to attract maximum bidders and grow your

or they remain among the thousands of sellers who never get
past the "hobby seller" stage...

process by following in the footsteps of an eBay millionaire
who is willing to show you the ropes.

10 Ways To Get Your Ads Or Messages Noticed

Do you post to message boards, e-mail discussion
lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites or newsgroups?
People will usually read the s.ubject 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 s.ubject line. You could
use them between words and letters. Start and end
your subject with a text symbol. ( *, $, >,{,] )


4. Begin your s.ubject 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 s.ubject line. We
all went to school and were repetitively branded to
answer questions.


6. Use the word "F.REE" in your s.ubject line. Your
o.ffer should be attractive to your target audience.
It could be f.ree information, software, trials, etc.


7. Begin your s.ubject 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 s.ubject 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 s.ubject 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.
