Procrastination & Motivation
Have you ever experienced the state of procrastination? All of us have one time or another! Procrastination is the number one killer of success.
It is the single most common state that keeps people from taking action Knowing that there is an important task at hand, you keep putting it off.
Have you ever had to start work on a project but kept doing everything else that would delay you in getting started? You
cleaned your desk, got a drink of water, checked your emails, walked around and finally said, 'I think I will do it tomorrow!'
Has there been another time when you felt totally motivated in getting started on a project? A time when you just sat down and got it done immediately?
I believe we are aware that this situation rarely happens, never happening in times when we need to get something done.
We Create our States of Motivation and Procrastination
We have to understand that we create entirely different states using our physiology and internal re-presentation. When we
understand this, we will be able to change, interrupt and change states whenever we need to.
When you were procrastinating, you were using your physiology in a particular way. Your breathing was probably slow and shallow. Your muscles were droopy, your eyes were looking down and your facial muscles were probably flaccid.
What about your internal re-presentation? You were probably seeing pictures of yourself having a tough time, being overwhelmed and getting frustrated. You were probably saying to yourself in the most weary and bored tone of life, "Must I do this now? Can I do it later?"
How do we create Motivation?
A question we have to ask ourselves, when we are in a motivated state, taking action and accomplishing our tasks, how did we create that?
Our physiology was probably different. We were sitting differently, breathing differently and moving differently. We were probably re-presenting the task very differently in our mind.
We were seeing ourselves getting results, having fun and doing things effortlessly. We were probably saying, "do it now!" "Let's get it done!" in a more excited, higher pitched tone of voice.
Remember, our states are hardly managed consciously. We do not consciously shift our physiology nor do we control our internal re-presentations with the intention of controlling our states.
Instead, our minds are allowed to run on autopilot causing us to lose control of our own states, ensuing in mediocre results that we are not to pleased about.
Now that we are aware that states of motivation and procrastination are entirely created by us, the responsibility is on us to learn and take charge of our physiology and internal representation, propelling us to attain the greater results we desire.

Looking for a way to generate revenue with your website?
Looking for a way to generate revenue with your website?
There are so many different ways to make money that it can be dizzying! But now even a personal website or blog can use advertising to bring in extra money simply and easily
The biggest headache is finding relevant affiliate programs, and filtering ads that follow your site or blogs theme, it takes time and patience to find the right ads and affiliate programs and it has to be constantly updated and policed. Time that can best be spent writing or adding new content to your site or blog.
So what you really need is a way to add the right ads to the right pages automatically, a system that can be easily updated, a simple way to add the content to the page in the right place and with a variety of colours and formats that suit your site. (doesn't exist I hear you say)
Up to the plate steps contextual advertising the new buzz word in internet advertising.
What is contextual Advertising?
contextual Advertising is advertising on a Web site that is targeted to the specific individual who is visiting the Web site. A contextual ad system scans the text of a Web site for keywords and returns ads to the Web page based on what the user is viewing, either through ads placed on the page or pop-up ads.
For example, if the user is viewing a site about sports, and the site uses contextual advertising, the user might see ads for sports-related companies, such as memorabilia dealers or ticket sellers. Contextual advertising also is used by search engines to display ads on their search results pages based on what word(s) the users has searched for.
So what is the new and exciting way of taking advantage of contextual advertising?
Clicksensor is a monetization revolution for content publishers large or small... AND encourages higher quality content, helping the Net overall. Now every small business person can monetize his/her passion, expertise or knowledge.
How?...
Clicksensor rewards you for creating sites rich in high-quality, focused content... the sort of sites that make the Net a better place! Of course, these are the sites that build traffic and trust, establish credibility, and effectively PREsell your products or services.
Is your main goal to publish theme-based information?
Or do you want to provide such information (still the single best way to build free traffic when done correctly) as a PREseller for your primary monetization model (ex., sell your services, products, auctions... or even if it's to drive traffic to your primary sales site)?
No matter what your primary business strategy may be, Clicksensor adds one more practical, positive, and highly credible monetization option for your theme-based content site.
Building sites founded upon high-value, focused content ("theme-based content sites") is the only way to build high-value, free traffic and to PREsell those visitors, no matter what you ultimately want to sell.
ClickSensor matches products to the text on your pages and you don't have to lift a finger. You don't have to touch any HTML code when new opportunities are added, and you DON'T have to supply any keywords. The whole point is for it to be automatic, tailored for every page...
Browse http://www.advertisingknowhow.com/members/articles.php to see exactly how it works, and take it for a test run by going to http://www.advertisingknowhow.com/clicksensor/
With ClicksensorV2 you can add as many affiliate programs as you want. ( it already comes pre-loaded with the entire clickbank database) Affiliate programs can be grouped together, you can apply one affiliate ID to thousands of products. Or, product links can be branded individually.
So why not just write pages about subjects with which you are knowledgeable things you care about?
Even if you aren't the best writer in the world, if you can talk about a subject without sounding like an idiot, you can write about one intelligently. Get those ideas on a page and let this script take care of the grunt work.
Now it's possible to make every page of content matter by consolidating every affiliate program you promote into this "powerful steam engine" of a script.
Write the articles you love and let ClickSensor convert your original content into money.
10 Ways Web Site Text Can Impact Your Reader's Buying Decision
The appearance of your web site text can actually increase or decrease your sales. The size, font, style and color of your text can easily affect your reader's buying decision. Below are ten points to consider when typing text on your web site.
1. Easy To Read- You want to make it easy for your visitors to read your text. You don't want to use a light colored text like yellow on a white background and you don't want to use dark blue text on a black back-ground.
2. Create A Mood- You want to use the color of your text to create a mood for the reader. If you want to create excitement, use some red text. If you want to create greed, use a some green text. Use colors that would put you in a mood to buy your product.
3. Grab Their Attention- You can grab your readers attention by using headlines. Make the headline more noticeable by using a different colored headline than your ad copy. This offsets the headline and pulls the reader into the rest of your ad copy.
4. Highlight Keywords- You can emphasize phrases and keywords that are important to your readers. For instance, use super, deluxe, fast, low price, free, new, etc. You could use bolding, underlining, italics, color changing, etc.
5. Sizing It Up- You don't want to use text that is too small or to large. You want to use larger text for your headlines and subheadings. You want to use smaller text for your ad copy. If your grandparents can't read it, it's too small.
6. Don't Use All CAPS!- You don't want to use all capital letters in your ad copy. It looks unprofessional and is hard to read. You may want to use all CAPS in your headlines to offset it.
7. Font Properly- You want to use a text font that relates to the product or services your selling. You don't want to use a comic type font when your selling business books.
8. Spacing Out- It's important to use spaces properly when typing your text. You should indent and bullet key benefits your product or service will give the reader. Your headlines, subheadings, sentences and paragraphs should be consistently spaced throughout your web site.
9. I Need Sunglasses- Don't use all bright text colors and backgrounds on your web site. It will make your text hard to read and actually bother your readers' eyes to the point they just decide to leave your site.
10. Check The Readability- It's important to check your spelling and grammar before you upload your web page. When writing an ad copy you're allowed to break some of those grammar rules to get your point across.

10 Order Pulling Ways To End Your Ad Copy
1. You could end your ad copy by telling people what will happen if they buy your product. Use your most powerful benefit as the example.
2. You could end your ad copy by telling people what will happen if they don't buy your product. Use a problem that they won't be able to solve without it.
3. You could end your ad copy with a question they will always say yes too. They then will be used to saying yes when you ask them to order.
4. You could end your ad copy with a short review of your whole ad. Repeat all the major benefits and features they will receive.
5. You could end your ad copy with a deadline. Tell them it's a limited time offer and they need to order by a specific date.
6. You could end your ad copy with a powerful guarantee. Give them a lifetime or triple your money back guarantee.
7. You could end your ad copy with a testimonial. Use one or two of your customers' testimonials that is believable and includes specific results.
8. You could end your ad copy with a free bonus. When you give them a free bonus it increases the product's perceived value.
9. You could end your ad copy with a discounted price. Just list your regular price and then offer a discounted price off the order right now.
10. You could end your ad copy with a free sample or trial of your product. If your ad didn't attract them to buy, maybe a free sample or trial would.

Maximizing Profit Potential from Face-to-Face Networking
One of the major questions I often hear when it comes to events like seminars, conventions and trade shows, is:
Is it worth going to???
The justification for many marketers seems to be that:
---No, you should not go, because you won't learn anything.
---You can already talk to people on AIM, MSN, or the Forum
---Time away from your computer is money!!!
---Bumpy plane rides, bad airline food, expensive taxi rides, the potential of lost luggage, the fact that you may not know
anyone there...need we say more?
BUT...if you look beyond just the cost...at the benefits, you'd realize that sometimes the training/information sessions are just plain bad...other times, you get ONE great idea that makes you a bundle by applying just ONE simple strategy in your current business model.
Beyond just the lessons and knowledge, however, if you look at the fact that you have a group of the most motivated people there (ones who had overcome all the negatives), and are keen to learn from and share their knowledge with other motivated individuals, the whole trip is worth it.
Just making that ONE contact could open up the doorway to lots of business possibilities.
My last trip in January to Affiliate Summit West yielded a good opportunity to meet many of the WickedFire and other affiliate marketing folk I'd be talking to for quite some time. And, the face-to-face interaction beats any Skype/MSN/AIM or video conferencing conversation hands-down.
As I'm typing this, I'll be headed to the Atlanta International Airport in an hour, having attended Matt Bacak's Marketing
Madness Live event.
It was a good opportunity to spend time with Matt, Conversations with Millionaire's author Jason Oman, and meet up with Mike Stewart, Harris Fellman, Adam Ginsburg and other experienced marketers.
What stands out is the time I got to spend with one particular marketer who although he didn't speak at the event, opened up many possibilities, especially for multiplying my income.
I'd like you to meet him too...

Are You Taking Advantage of Your Customers
I've been screwed. Several times, for several different products, and from those experiences, I've learned an important lesson: "Do your homework."
Chances are you've been in a similar situation. In fact, I'm willing to bet that somewhere in your house lays a virtually unused (or broken) product you bought on impulse, without bothering to do research.
I'll also bet that, since then, you frequently visit sites like Amazon just to figure out what the masses are saying. I mean,
let's face it, public opinion is hugely important!
Rating systems are absolutely everywhere, and for good reason: they give the retailers an opportunity to increase revenue by allowing other customers to review products, providing realtime testimonials that are just more believable.
Sure, not all the reviews are great, but that also shows the retailer which products they should be promoting, and which ones they should "hide". It's a fantastic feedback mechanism for both the merchant and the consumer.
So why the heck don't I see it used on enough affiliate sites?
Yeah, that's right, affiliate marketer, I'm talking to you! Why haven't you picked up on this? You sell a variety of different
products, you hire copywriters to develop salesletters, but you won't implement a simple program to provide a rating system for your products! Take Advantage of your customers' opinions, reviews, thoughts, and need to feel like a part of a community!

Lol, oh man, I was about to wrap this e-mail up when I realized I forgot to tell you one of the coolest aspects of this
kind system.
Give me a second here, and think about this... what kind of business is the best kind?
Come on, got it yet? No? Okay, couple more seconds...
Bingo. Repeat business. The kind that has people coming back over and over again, pouring more of their dollars into your hungry pockets!
Think about how many times you've returned to a rating and review site to get information, and then later bought from that same site! Think of the huge amounts of traffic Amazon pulls in, largely due to its review component!
Now imagine all that traffic heading towards you... Not just once, but over and over again!
Yeah! It's that powerful! So please, for the good of your own business, do yourself this huge favor....
Growing Your Business One Customer at a Time
The People aspect of business is really what it is all about. Rule #1: Think of customers as individuals. Once we think that way, we realize our business is our customer, not our product or services. Putting all the focus on the merchandise in our store, or the services our corporation offers, leaves out the most important component: each individual customer.
Keeping those individual customers in mind, here are some easy, down-home steps-to-remember when you want to keep 'em coming back!
1. Remember there is no way that the quality of customer service can exceed the quality of the people who provide it. Think you can get by paying the lowest wage, giving the fewest of benefits, doing the least training for your employees? It will show. Companies don't help customers... people do.
2. Realize that your people will treat your customer the way they are treated. Employees take their cue from management. Do you greet your employees enthusiastically each day; are you polite in your dealings with them; do you try to accommodate their requests; do you listen to them when they speak? Consistent rude service is a reflection not as much on the employee as on management.
3. Do you know who your customers are? If a regular customer came in to your facility, would you recognize them? Could you call them by name? All of us like to feel important; calling someone by name is a simple way to do it and lets them know you value them as customers. Recently I signed on with a new fitness center. I had been a member of another one for the past ten years, renewing my membership every 6 months when the notice arrived. I had been thinking about changing, joining the one nearer my home and with more state-of-the-art equipment. So when the renewal notice came, I didn't renew. That was 8 months ago. Was I contacted by the fitness center and asked why I did not renew? Did anyone telephone me to find out why an established customer was no longer a member or to tell me they missed me? No and No. My guess is they don't even know they lost a long-time customer, and apparently wouldn't care.
4. Do your customers know who you are? If they see you, would they recognize you? Could they call you by name? A visible management is an asset. At the Piccadilly Cafeteria chain, the pictures of the manager and the assistant manager are posted on a wall at the food selection line and it is a policy that the manager's office is placed only a few feet from the cashier's stand at the end of that line, in full view of the customers, and with the door kept open. The manager is easily accessible and there is no doubt about "who's in charge here". You have only to beckon to get a manager at your table to talk with you.
5. Go the extra mile. Include a thank-you note in a customer's package; send a birthday card; clip the article when you see their name or photo in print; write a congratulatory note when they get a promotion. There are all sorts of ways for you to keep in touch with your customers and bring them closer to you.
6. Are your customers greeted when they walk in the door or at least within 30-40 seconds upon entering? Is it possible they could come in, look around, and go out without ever having their presence acknowledged? It is ironic it took a discount merchant known for price, not service, to teach the retail world the importance of greeting customers at the door. Could it be that's because Sam Walton knew this simple but important gesture is a matter of respect, of saying "we appreciate your coming in," having nothing to do with the price of merchandise?
7. Give customers the benefit of the doubt. Proving to him why he's wrong and you're right isn't worth losing a customer over. You will never win an argument with a customer, and you should never, ever put a customer in that position.
8. If a customer makes a request for something special, do everything you can to say Yes. The fact that a customer cared enough to ask is all you need to know in trying to accommodate her. It may be an exception from your policy, but (if it isn't illegal) try to do it. Remember you are just making one exception for one customer, not making new policy. Mr. Marshall Field was right-on in his famous statement: "Give the lady what she wants."
9. Are your associates properly trained in how to handle a customer complaint or an irate person? Give them guidelines for what to say and do in every conceivable case. People on the frontline of a situation play the most critical role in your customer's experience. Make sure they know what to do and say to make that customer's experience a positive, pleasant one.
10. Want to know what your customers think of your company? Ask them! Compose a "How Are We Doing?" card and leave it at the exit or register stand, or include it in their next statement. Keep it short and simple. Ask things like: what it is they like; what they don't like; what they would change; what you could do better; about their latest experience there, etc. To ensure the customer sends it in: have it pre-stamped. And if the customer has given their name and address, be sure to acknowledge receipt of the card.
Remember that the big money isn't as much in winning customers as in keeping customers. Each individual customer's perception of your company will determine how well you do this.
