10 Tips for improving your email deliverability

Improving Your Email Deliverability Rate Can Help Keep Your Business Healthy During The Downturn!


Derek As the economy continues along its unsteady path, many small business owners have been asking me what they can do to keep their businesses financially healthy over the coming months.

Lots of people are wondering if they should be investing in fancy new site designs, or boosting their pay-per-click budgets, or hiring high-priced SEO experts to help them get better rankings.

Now, while I'm obviously not against spending more money on these sorts of things...

... I recommend you start by leveraging the tools you already have, and make sure you're using them as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Take your email marketing, for instance.

Ensuring you have a smooth-running and reliable email marketing program is one of the surest ways to keep your business humming, without having to invest a lot of money!

I mean, think about it: what's the BEST way to keep your sales and profits up during a slow economy?

Build solid relationships with your existing customers, so they keep coming back for more.

And what's the ideal way to build those relationships?

Yep, you guessed it...

When you stay in touch with your regular customers -- and email them valuable information -- they'll quickly view you as a credible resource, an expert in your field, and most important, someone who's watching out for their best interests.

And they'll reward you with their loyalty (and continued purchases)!

Unfortunately, many business owners take their email marketing for granted, and pay little attention to it beyond what their next promotion will be...

... and meanwhile, the number of emails that actually make it to their customers' inboxes gets lower each week!

That's because legitimate permission-based email can often be mistakenly identified as "spam," and sent straight to customers' spam, folders... if it gets delivered at all.

It kind of defeats the purpose of using email for customer retention if none of your customers are getting the emails, right?

Fortunately, it's EASY to enjoy a high rate of deliverability with your email, if you understand a few basic spam rules.

So to make sure as much of your email is getting to your customers as possible, here are the TOP TEN things you MUST do to avoid having your email mistakenly labelled as spam...

Rule #1: Keep ACCURATE records of EACH person who subscribes

Having detailed records is just good business practice, but in the case of your opt-ins, it's critical.

So make sure you keep track of the date, time, referring IP address, and referring web page for EACH person who signs up, along with their first name, last name, and email address.

You can quickly and easily prove that you're definitely NOT a spammer if you have details to back yourself up.

Rule #2: Track requests to opt out, and remove these people PRONTO!

Once again, good record-keeping is the way to go. The CAN-SPAM act requires that you remove people who ask to opt out within 10 days of their request.

But why not play it safe? It's a good idea to implement your remove requests every couple of days, as well as before you do a new mailing.

Rule #3: Post your privacy policy on your website

Make sure you let people know that you will NEVER sell or trade their names and email addresses when they opt-in, and make sure you STICK to that!

There's a second benefit to posting your privacy policy clearly: you'll actually get MORE opt ins, because people will feel more comfortable sharing their information with you.

A clearly spelled-out privacy policy somewhere in your site, along with a direct link to it from your opt-in form, will go a long way in building credibility with your customers.

If you're unsure of how to write a privacy policy, I recommend you visit this site, where you can have one generated for you, automatically.

Rule #4: Make sure you're using reputable service providers

If you're thinking of hiring a third party to manage your email for you, or rent email lists from, make sure you investigate them thoroughly before you sign on the dotted line.

When it comes to the Internet, your reputation is only as good as the people who manage your email promotions for you, and you DON'T want to be hurt by someone else's bad behaviour.

Rule #5: Use rental lists with care

Thinking of renting an email list for a promotion? Make sure you take the time to review the form that was used to collect those names and email addresses.

Not only will you be able to tell if the people on the list have given their permission to the list broker to sell or rent their information, you should also be able to tell if the people on the list will be interested in your offer.

Rule #6: Use a REAL return email address with room to store bounce-backs and opt-outs

While every email you send should have an "unsubscribe" link it in (more about that in a minute), you also need to honour any unsubscribe requests that people send to your regular email address.

So make sure it's possible for people on your list to reach you through regular email, and also make sure you've got room in your inbox to receive the messages. There's nothing worse than an unsubscribe request that can't be delivered!

And while it may be tempting to respond to the occasional angry unsubscribe email you may get from a disgruntled subscriber, your best course of action is simply to delete them promptly.

Rule #7: Provide easy instructions for how to unsubscribe

EVERY email you send out MUST contain clear, simple instructions that tell people how to unsubscribe if they no longer wish to receive email from you... as well as a link they can click to unsubscribe automatically.

This is NOT negotiable. Any email sent out without unsubscribe information is officially spam!

Rule #8: Provide your valid physical address

Each email you send out must contain your physical address.

Consider creating an email template with your contact information in the footer, and then use this template for each email you write. You'll eliminate the possibility of accidentally sending out mail without this important detail.

Rule #9: Use a consistent "from" address

The "from" line in your email must be valid and accurate -- the name of your business, for instance, or your own name (provided your name is well enough linked to your business that your customers will recognize it).

Your email address should also be clear enough for your customers to recognize. Some web-based email doesn't show the "from" line, so there needs to be another way for your customers to recognize you.

Rule #10: Use an authentic, non-misleading subject line

Nobody likes to be fooled or tricked, and deception is the WRONG way to earn your customers' trust and respect, so make sure your subject line is related to your actual messages.

So if your subject line says Janet, three ways to save money, you need to make sure you actually are talking about that in your email, and preferably within the first few paragraphs.

Otherwise, your visitors will feel cheated, and that will hurt your credibility.

Email marketing is inexpensive, easily trackable, and extremely effective. And the reason it's so effective is that you send it to a highly targeted, selected group of people; your customers and subscribers who have a relationship with you and WANT to hear from you.

But even your legitimate mail can be snagged in the web of anti-spam measures...

If you follow these 10 simple rules, you'll have the best chance of getting your email delivered.

Keep your opt-in list clean, and your email promotions should be recognized for what they are... responsible opt-in email promotions, not spam.

And that's the BEST way to continue to earn profits during the current economic downturn, without having to invest one additional penny!

How To Improve Customer Loyalty During A Turbulent Economy

I'm not gonna sugar coat it... it's looking pretty darn ugly out there!

I'll spare you a rehash of all the gory details -- I'm sure you're WELL aware of them already -- but suffice to say that the stock market and economy took a pretty sound thrashing this week.

And MANY people are worried.

I'm seeing it in the emails I've been getting from nervous customers... and in the urgent phone calls I'm receiving... and in the comments on my blog...

There are a whole lot of people out there who are concerned about what the present economic climate will mean to their Internet businesses.

Well, I'm no economist, so I'm not about to make a prediction about the markets or the stability of the economy...

... but I am an Internet marketer, and what I can say -- with confidence -- is that a downturn in the current economy does NOT have to be a major roadblock for YOUR Internet business!

One key to surviving (even thriving) during this period of uncertainty is to know your customers!

It's more critical than EVER for you to understand EXACTLY who they are... where they're coming from... their interests, goals, and desires. This will allow you to create laser-focused marketing copy that speaks DIRECTLY to them and solves their specific problems, as well as offer products that you know for sure will make a difference in their lives.

You'll be rewarded with continued customer loyalty and ongoing sales!

So if you don't already know all you can about your customers and visitors, NOW is definitely the time to find out...

... and the easiest and fastest way to do that is with a survey.

Here are the SIX STEPS you need to follow to create an effective and informative survey that will help you connect with your customers -- and continue to profit -- during the current financial turmoil:

Step #1: Plan Your Survey

As with everything else you do with your business, you'll have the greatest success with your survey if you do some advance planning.

Without a solid idea of what exactly it is you hope to learn from your results, you can easily end up creating a survey consisting of fairly random questions that ultimately don't lead you anywhere.

So make sure you take the time to sit down and do some brainstorming and list-making.

Decide what your goals with the survey are. Are you trying to learn more about specific products you offer? Looking for ways you could give everyone a more positive customer care experience? Trying to gather demographic information so you can segment your list better and send out tailored offers?

Be clear about what you're hoping to accomplish with the survey, and you'll be in great shape when it comes time to write the actual survey questions.

Step #2: Choose Your Weapon

One thing I like about surveys is that they're super simple for pretty much ANY business owner to administer, no matter how small your budget, or limited your technical knowledge.

That's because there are lots of web-based services out there that will host your survey for you... for FREE!

You just design the survey using their simple point-and-click interface, enter the text for your questions, and then email a link to the survey to your customers and subscribers.

When your customers show up, the automated survey is online and ready to take!

And best of all, many of these free services offer a reasonable number of reporting features, too, making it easy to interpret your results.

Of course, most of these services offer paid upgrades as well, which allow you to create more complex surveys and get more sophisticated reports, but for a typical small survey, the freebies work just fine.

Here are a couple that I've used and like:

* SurveyMonkey


* Survey Pro

Step #3: Design And Write Your Survey

Designing your survey takes a bit of skill, but with a small amount of planning (there's that word again!), you'll have no problem putting an effective one together. Just be sure that you're putting the questions in a logical order, and not exhausting your customers by asking for too much detail.

Here are a few tips to help you design a better survey:

* Start with the good stuff -- To ease your customers into the survey, start off with some simple questions they can answer without a lot of thought.

This can be something as simple as basic demographic information (age, location, etc.), which also happens to be useful information.

But don't load up the front end with all of the easy questions. Save a few for the end of the survey. That way, it won't get increasingly difficult throughout, which can cause some people to bail before they complete it.


* Avoid asking too many questions -- 5-10 minutes is about the maximum length you can reasonably expect somebody to spend answering a survey, so be sure to limit your questions.

At the same time, be sure to let your respondents know up front how much time will be required to complete it... and be honest! People will begin to drop out if it starts to take longer than you say.


* Give your survey an introduction and ending -- It's a good idea to include an introduction to the survey, to clearly explain what people are required to do.

At the same time, it's a nice touch to end the survey with a "thank-you" page, just to let people know you appreciate the time they spent taking the survey.


* Respect people's privacy -- You may want to collect personal information like age, income, and occupation. If you do so, make sure to reassure your customers beforehand that you have a strict privacy policy, and remind them that their answers are all confidential.

When it comes time to write the actual questions, make sure you write in a relaxed, conversational voice, and avoid things like abbreviations, acronyms, and double negatives. You want to be sure that EVERY person who takes your survey clearly understands all of the questions.

Here are a few tips to help you write compelling and effective survey questions:

* Avoid asking leading questions -- Be sure that your questions don't sway your customers toward answering them in a particular way, or giving an answer that's not actually true.

For example, don't say: "How quickly did we resolve your problem? " This assumes that the problem was indeed resolved.

The question you should ask is, "Was your problem resolved?"


* Avoid questions that rate more than one thing -- Avoid asking questions that require people to rate more than one thing at a time.

For instance, don't say: "How fast and accurate did you find our customer service representative?"

While the service may have been fast, it may not have been accurate (or vice versa) so this question is impossible to answer accurately.


* Focus on asking "close-ended" questions -- In a survey, a close-ended question is one that can be answered with a simple yes/no or other specific piece of information, or a selection from multiple choices.

This makes the survey faster and easier for your customers, and the results more simple for you to manage.

So instead of a question like "What did you think of your customer service experience?" try something like "Did you enjoy your customer service experience?"


* Be consistent with your questions -- If you ask your customers to rate certain things on a numbered scale, make sure to use the same scale each time.

So if they need to rate something on a scale of 1 to 5 in one question, avoid using a scale of 1 to 10 elsewhere.


* Watch out for long questions -- If your questions are too long, your customers will soon get tired of answering them, and abandon the survey. Look for questions that can be broken into two or more parts.


* Don't test your customers' memories -- Try not to ask your customers to recall a lot of information that happened far in the past. They'll soon get bogged down trying to recall specific details, and if they're in a hurry to complete the survey, will often abandon it.

Step #4: Test Your Survey

You all know by now that I'm a HUGE advocate of testing EVERYTHING before you email it, make it live on your site, or expose it to your customers in any way.

So take the time to carefully review the survey to make sure it has a logical flow, and that it all makes sense.

If you can, it's a good idea to ask a few people (customers, if possible, or co-workers, friends, or family) to take the survey ahead of time, and actually WATCH them while they do it.

Do they hesitate while answering a question? Backtrack? Skip over a question? It could be a sign that your questions aren't clear enough, and you'll need to work on making them more simple.

Once you're done, ask about the experience. Was there anything you didn't understand? Were you confused at any point?

You want to make sure the survey is easy to understand and follow BEFORE you make it available. Once it's actually live -- and your customers have started answering it -- you DON'T want to have to start tinkering with the questions. That will skew your results.

Step #5: Administer The Survey

Okay, the moment of truth is upon you: It's time to invite your customers to take the survey.

The easiest way to do this is to email them, and ask them for a few minutes of their time. And make sure you tell them what's in it for them if they take the survey.

If your goal is to improve a certain product, for instance, tell them that by taking the survey, they'll actually be helping you to help them, because you'll use their comments to fine-tune the assistance you can offer them.

And don't be shy about offering your customers a "bribe" for taking the survey. You're asking them to do a big favor for you, so it's not unreasonable to reward them for their time.

Consider sending everyone who responds a gift (like a free eBook that they'll find valuable, a coupon for discounted products, or enter them in a draw to win some a prize.)

Finally, make sure you build some urgency into the email. If you don't ask people to take the time right away to answer the survey, they'll often put it aside to answer when they have more time... but then never return to complete it.

Step #6: Interpret Your Results

As you review the results of your survey, remember that, more than anything, you're looking for trends. Did the majority of respondents answer specific questions the same way? Are they often expressing the same frustrations, etc?

At the same time, look for any surprising answers. Your survey is likely going to tell you things about your audience that you had no idea were true.

By finding out EXACTLY who your audience is, what they like (and dislike), and what their goals and experiences are, you'll be able to tailor your salescopy, your email marketing efforts, your website, and even your products, to perfectly suit them.

The results should be improved customer loyalty, and ongoing success with your business, even during these turbulent economic times!

Dinesh D'Souza An Economic TERRORIST

I weep for all true born Americans and i say this with a deep sense of humility. It is hard to see people to what they are truly are and Mr Dinesh D'souza is not an exception. I will be candid as I try to exercise the truth in a broader context.

Mr Dinesh D’souza a conservative but also a card carrying member of the Republican Party, on September 8th 2008 published an article with a subject: Help Obama’s Half-Brother Move out of His Hut. The sole purpose of this article was aimed to demean Senator Barack Obama’s character but question his private family life. My Perspective is worth reading and reading through this analysis will help every reader to be careful to what they wish for. Read on if you may…..

1- Looking at Dinesh D’Souzas’ picture i immediately knew he is an Indian but i wanted to confirm and i did. Wikipedia

2- Con men come in many facets and we know what Indians can do when it comes to obtaining by false pretences all in the name of appearing to look genuine. Anything Obama as a brand can sell; it can be used to caricature the Obama family especially when the tool to be used is right in your eyes.

3- Lets get one fact straight, you are an immigrant from India and you came to the U.S in 1978, so your Indian culture runs through your veins regardless the length to which you will go to hide the true you and who you really are. (You can put a lipstick on a pig to make it look good but that pig is still a pig)

This link below provides much detail about the chameleon known as Mr Dinesh D'Souza. This cover story on D'souza is quite lengthy but the first & the second paragraph provides you a snapshot of who this man is and what he intends to achieve in America.
The Controvatialist

4- You have dated Laura Ingraham of Fox & Ann Coulter both conservative commentators before getting married to your wife, i guess this 2 people are in a better position to shed more light on whether they know you and their relationship with you in the past before you got married to your wife. My take on that would be a number of factors, deceits, lies, being selfish & greed. These 5 words might have been the reason that affected you not getting married to any of this 2 beautiful but very successful lady's.


5- As you‘re Indian but holds an American passport out of circumstance, you‘re now behaving as if America is much important to you than those who are truly born Americans. There is absolutely nothing different between you & another rabble-rouser by the name Michelle Malkin nee Maglalang, the Fox news basket mouth. A daughter of a Filipino Illegal Alien(The Perfect Hypocrite who always refers immigrants to ''Illegal Alien'' I wonder what her parents immigration status was, when she was born in 1970 as she loves using that word Illegal Alien a lot while protecting America from her idiotic senses)

6- Your ultimate goal in putting up this crap about Obama's half brother is to benefit from it nothing more nothing less. You will even go extra mile in championing the dissemination of this story to help your continued drive of selfish interest, people do not know you & they do not know Indians very well so Americans that rarely travel out of the U.S will embrace your article believing that you sincerely want to help Obama's half brother. Helping Obama’s half brother, as you put it, what are your true intentions here?

7- You need to help your own people of Goa in India first before illicitly looking to make money with Obama's name. Good Samaritan! If this is the way that people should be helping other people, then people reading this should ask you what ‘re your motives as you have chosen to make caricature of Obama's candidacy in just about all your articles relating to this election.

8- People will be wondering why i referred you as an Economic Terrorist i did that because that's exactly what Indians all over the world are known to be. I was reminded about this line by my brother recently as i discussed the true nature & purpose of average Indians. This was how he explained it to me. Indians travel far & wide to settle in another Country for one single purpose and that is to form a group, blend into that society and start milking the economy of the new country they now call their abode a typical example is in east Africa where Indians rule these countries by proxy. If you doubt this, any country you see large population of Indians, just interview the main citizens of that country and they would tell you what the Indians do. Americans should not be fooled because you are just another pig with a lipstick bashing Obama to fulfil your selfish interest.

9- In one of your articles in your AOL blog, Subject: OBAMA OR PALIN: WHO IS THE REAL HYPOCRITE? You compared Obama & Palin; your comparison was to suggest that Ms Palin acted well as to how she responded to the news of her daughter's pregnancy. You also in that article suggested that Obama rejected his own half brother & compared that with Palin loving & compassionate response towards her daughter. You also stated in your article quote ''But parents don't have full control over their teenagers' actions''. I only hope that Americans will ask you personally what you yourself will do if you ever find out that your own daughter is pregnant. You know the answer Dinesh, It has to be honour killing & the earlier the better your wife knows about this the better for her. You come from India & with your strict cultural values regarding pregnancy outside wedlock or not getting married to your cousins, blood relations or an arranged marriage organised by families especially for their daughter, comes with one punishment, Honour Killing of the girl by the father of the girl. This cruel deeds are now been executed by people from your heritage in the U.S. you will not deny that but i am very sorry for your wife. No matter how you champion the American values more than the Americans themselves, you are still an Indian, so you may wish to falsely continue to deceive yourself by singing the songs of anti Obama cynicism but we know who you are and your intentions.

10- Obama's problems are not from loving Americans but from sycophants like you & Michelle Malkin who was voted the worst person in the world in 2007 & 2008. Every good thinking American should ask themselves why should people like you, an immigrant for that matter talk down on Obama this is beyond being a conservative and a card carrying Republican. You are not white but a minority in the mist of millions of African Americans & Hispanics but you are Asian. It is people like you that when you criticize Obama, any white American should ask you serious questions why you criticize a fellow minority as you are. The answer to that is very simple, folks if you work in an office where you have Indians (not American Indians) but the bollywood Indians that immigrate to the U.S even the ones born in this country, make sure you watch your back because they will lick the ass of your boss with negatives gossips against you only to seek favours this is what you intend to achieve. I began writing this piece just to enlighten people up and in the process I saw the cover story about this guy published by Thomas Larson in 2005 which I provided the link in this response to you as you felt the only way to advance your selfish interest is by castigating Obama but also making a caricature of his family with emphasis that he abandoned his half brother.

I am very sorry that Obama should go through these insults all because he is running for an elective post. I am not sure that the so called liberals have pounded on the story of Cindy McCain’s half sister let alone made caricature of McCain’s family the way you drink on Obama's demise.

11- In that same article of yours you criticized the main stream media for not reporting extensively about Obama's half brother rather, you gloated about it. Let’s just hold on a second, the main stream media you have criticized are the ones you have appeared on previously in many occasions to sell your books. ABC, CBS, MSNBC, COMEDY CENTRAL, CNBC, CNN, & the list go on. I am not talking about the numerous news media you have used to sell your books like Fox news but now you are criticizing those that had helped expose you & your selfish ideologies, all by suggesting to readers of your article to send you money through a P.0 box Address so that you can get in touch with the Obama campaign for them to send your bogus collection (money) to his half brother George Obama in Kenya. You know you can only say this in this country (U.S) and back in your country India, you cannot insult people like this & get away with it. Why do you have to deceive Americans using Obama because you know that people who hate Obama will, may be respond to your bogus call to save Obama’s half brother without knowing who you are and your criminally minded sense. People who engage in charity work do have an office which could be their home address or their office address but you chose a P.O BOX as your address and even suggested that you are putting up $1000 to get this fund started. You further asked any one reading your article to donate $5, 10, or $25 as they deem fit. You also asked readers to make a check on George Obama’s name. I guess this is to present yourself as genuine since the check or money order will not be in your name, I am sure Americans are not fools and have other better things to think about rather than listen to a crook like you.

You need to help yourself first before looking for whom to send money to.

I am sorry for most Americans who have to put up with con artists like you all in the name of setting up a fund for Obama's half brother. This is no difference to the scam letters from the advance fee fraud that we receive every day. The difference here is the answer to the question a fellow Indian asked you in the first paragraph of the above link i presented in this article/ response to your article which can be seen from the link below as well.

The controversialist

Con men come in many ways but the worst of them all are the ones who have successfully permeated into the American society. You’re a crook and Indians are quite good at it. Continue licking the asses of whomever you run into I only wish that people like you do not get into any elective positions because you will snitch and stitch your way to stardom without people not identifying you easily. Your book titled (The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11) if people should remove The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility from the title of this book they should examine you with the first part of this book THE ENEMY AT HOME which best describes your persona.

Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay

Our Brand New eBay Seller's Course is coming out before the end of August!

We are about to launch our latest version of our Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay. We've helped thousands of people get started on eBay with our previous versions, and look to do the same with our 2008 instalment.

Derek Ghel and our in-house eBay experts have tackled all of the major changes eBay has made over the last few months and have updated our eBay course to help current and future eBay sellers deal with these changes, and in most cases, take advantage of them.

We will be releasing a series of videos from Derek talking about these changes; we are hoping you will let everyone you know about these videos when they are released in the next week or so. We will let you know the moment the videos are live.

Here are a couple of examples of how our eBay sellers are taking advantage of the changes...

1. eBay's fees have gone up... and just like the rising price of gas, people don't like higher prices. But rising prices are a fact of life... in ANY business environment... online OR offline.

So while most eBay sellers are standing around complaining about the higher fees... the few SAVVY eBay sellers are making more money using the advanced strategies that we teach!

Because the fact is... a lot of people just DON'T KNOW how to make the most of eBay... For example... lots of sellers don't know ANYTHING about the benefits of having an eBay store.

But if you DO know how to run a successful eBay Store... then you can actually pay LESS for selling on eBay... while making MORE money!

2. One big area of change is eBay's FEEDBACK policies.

Feedback is so important on eBay because it determines your reputation... and it can have a big impact on whether or not people see you listings and trust you enough to buy from you.

One change is that sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers... so lots of sellers say their own feedback scores are at the mercy of buyers... and they have no way to retaliate if a buyer leaves them negative feedback without justification.

Well... the truth is... this change benefits EVERYONE... because the old system had reached a point where feedback was meaningless. You see... everyone just kept leaving positive feedback for one another... whether or not people deserved it.

So... if you follow the strategies we teach you... you'll learn HOW to create a good feedback score... so you'll have CREDIBLE testimonials from your buyers... that will persuade MORE people to buy from you.

And because everyone is equally affected... if you follow our course, then you're going to be WAY ahead of all the other sellers on eBay.

It just depends on your mindset... and if you view this change as an opportunity instead of a threat... then you're going to make a LOT more money.

Watch for more details coming with the release of Derek's "eBay" videos coming out before the end of August... It will be an eBay launch you can really profit by.

What You Must Do In A Slowing Economy

Have last week's developments with the US economy got you
feeling spooked?

I don't blame you! What with the country's second-largest
bank collapse PLUS a government bailout of Fannie Mae AND
Freddie Mac happening in the same WEEK, it's hard to
know what to expect next!

If you're like the other small business owners I know,
I'm willing to bet that, right this minute, you're on the
fence about whether you should continue to invest in
the tools and help you need to start your own Internet
business... or whether it's better to save your cash
until things stabilize a bit.

And that's actually why I'm firing off this hasty article...

... because I've just learned about a way you can do
BOTH, as long as you take advantage of this current economic
downturn and create something positive out of it.

A few months ago, Internet marketing wizard Derek Gehl
unleashed a powerful business-building system that
gives you all the tools and assistance you need to
start a completely automated, hands-free Internet
business from SCRATCH, including the website, a
salesletter, an online payment system, endless streams
of traffic, and help getting it all set up.

He named it "BeBiz," and since its release, it's gone
on to become the most simple yet comprehensive way for
"newbies" to go from zero to online profits in as
short a time span as possible (often in as little as
5 days!).

Well, just moments ago, Derek informed me and a few
of his other close associates that, in order to give
as many people as possible a leg up during this
volatile economy, he's going to WAIVE the entire
$177 BeBiz start-up fee for new members!

Unfortunately, there's a catch...

Due to the amount of money he could potentially lose
with this offer, he can only make it available to the
next 200 people who get in touch with him...

... so I urge you to follow this link below to contact him right
away:

DeRek Gehl new business Offer

Trust me: you do NOT want to let this opportunity pass
you by!

Where ELSE will you get a professional-looking sales
website that could have you earning profits by this
time next month (along with an Internet marketing genius
looking over your shoulder and guiding you as you
set it up)?

Best wishes for your business,

P.S. During the initial BeBiz launch, Derek made 250
spots available, and they were all snapped up in mere
hours -- and that was WITH the regular $177 start-up
fee -- so you can just imagine how fast these 200 spots
with NO start-up fees are going to go.

Don't miss out:

3 Critical Success Traits Shared By Top Internet Whiz Kids!!!!

Three Critical Success Traits Shared By "Mom & Pop" Type Web Sites That Are Earning $100,000 to $600,000 Every Year

Recently, I became a member of this new private web site, SecretsToTheirSuccess.com, that shares the Internet marketing secrets of real people, just like you and me, who are earning $100,000+ per year with their own Internet businesses.

Just to give you some background, I'll tell you that every month, this site shares two new real-life stories of successful "Mom & Pop" type sites, providing in-depth interviews with the site owners and asking really tough questions about the exact steps, strategies, tools, and software that these people have used to build and grow their sites to their current success.

For example, two success stories that I just finished checking out are:

Real-Life Case Study #1 — Robert Clark

See exactly how Robert Clark turned his $275 a week paycheck into a highly profitable online business that takes him only 2 hours each day to run... while earning him over $250,000 a year in profits!

Real-Life Case Study #2 — Ken Calhoun

Ken grossed over $98,000 in sales with his Internet business in 2000 (his first full year online) and then tripled his sales to earn over $300,000 last year — almost all of it profit, all from his beach front condo in Hawaii.

... as well as many other "real people" just like you and me who are creating a fortune on the Internet!
If you'd like to check out these success stories for yourself right now, and personally discover these "No BS" examples of real people making real money on the Internet, then click here now to get the exact step-by-step details of how they're doing it!

Obviously, reading these interviews is a really powerful way to guarantee the success of your own web site, because you're getting a personal insider's tour of real sites, run by real people, that are making real money!

Anyway, as I was reading through the latest success stories, I couldn't help but notice that, despite dramatic differences in the business models they use and the products and services they sell, these successful web site owners all share three common "success traits" that played a major role in growing their online sales to $100,000 to $600,000 a year...

Success Trait #1:

First of all, one of the reason's why they're sooooo successful NOW is because they didn't let their lack of knowledge stop them. Despite the fact that many of them had no computer experience, never mind experience using the Internet -- and despite the fact that many had never owned a business before -- they just plain got started and didn't worry about making everything "perfect" the first time.

Remember, I'm not talking about rocket-scientists here. These are regular people, like you and me, who started running their web sites out of their own homes and are now making $100,000 to $600,000 a year with their sites.

And believe it or not, almost all of them were making a profit from day-one! Sure, they weren't all making buckets of cash right away; but their profits increased quickly as they continued to improve on what they started with.

Success Trait #2:

I've already mentioned that these successful web site owners didn't worry about making everything "perfect" right away. And this is important, because rather than overload themselves by trying to become Internet marketing gurus BEFORE they got started, they just dove in and focused on one marketing strategy at a time, working extremely hard to maximize their profits with one strategy before moving onto the next.

This is a trait that really amazed me because even though these successful web site owners are earning substantial incomes from their web sites, they ALL talk about how they plan to snowball their profits and sales even more by strategically adding another strategy... and another strategy... and another strategy... to their web sites, one at a time.

Success Trait #3:

Interestingly, the one point that kept coming up again and again, sometimes two or three times in a single interview, was that all of these successful site owners confess they could have been earning a MUCH bigger income MUCH faster had they only avoided the costly mistakes started educating themselves sooner.

And that's probably the most critical trait these success stories share -- they've all committed to educating themselves about the most profitable marketing strategies and techniques.

In fact, I could literally go on for pages and pages reeling off the hundreds of invaluable marketing strategies, techniques, tools, and software recommendations that these people share in their interviews, based on their own real-life experiences and commitment to educating themselves.

However, I know it will mean much more when you hear, straight from the horse's mouth, these...

"No BS" Examples Of Real People Making
Real Money on the Internet...

If you want to automatically skip the failing promotions, and start learning the tested, proven strategies that real businesses have already proven to be enormously successful, then I'd highly recommend that you visit http://www.SecretsToTheirSuccess.com to take a private tour of "Mom & Pop" web sites that earn $100,000 to $600,000 a year and discover the exact step-by-step strategies they have personally used to generate these massive profits!

You will instantly be exposed to extremely successful netrepreneurs like...


Real-Life Case Study #3 — Andy Bryant

Andy's site is generating an impressive $50,000 in sales per month... and even Andy's a bit surprised to discover that his $600,000 a year online income is the result of his own self-proclaimed vain quest to reverse his own hair loss!

Real-Life Case Study #4— Ellen Cagnassola

Ellen is a work-at-home mom who produces homemade, personalized glycerin soaps. Discover the strategies she used to expand her offline business onto the Web, and how she gets big companies (like Johnson and Johnson) to distribute and sell her soaps for her... earning a hefty online income at the same time!

Real-Life Case Study #5 — Kelly Monaghan

Kelly Monaghan has quite literally built a $200,000+ Web business around his lifestyle. While he's bumping across Tibet in a jeep or white water rafting in Nepal, his four successful sites continue to bank his sales and profits....

... plus many, many more!


When I first came across http://www.SecretsToTheirSuccess.com I was shocked to find REAL successful people just like you and me who were willing to give away their most coveted Internet marketing secrets.

So if you want to skip the failing promotions, I highly recommend that you click here now and learn the "No BS Strategies" these real people are using to make real money on the Internet!
