Actually, while spam is the fundamental root of our
problems, the anti-spam measures that large ISPs and
important free e-mail hosts (like Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail)
undertake are what hurts legitimate Net marketers.

Much like tuna nets catch dolphins by mistake, their spam
filters catch us. So the SiteSell SpamCheck Tool is a quick
way for honest marketers to make sure that their e-mails are
less likely to be considered spam by ISPs, by Yahoo! Mail and
Hotmail (which tosses you into their Junk folders) and even
by individual filters set up by an ever-growing number of
recipients around the world.

Here’s how it works…

STEP 1: Copy-and-paste your subject, but start your subject
with the word “TEST” (without the quotes, in UPPER CASE) so
that we know this is a test e-mail. (If the subject does NOT
start with TEST, we’ll assume it’s REAL spam and delete it).
Here’s a sample subject…

TESTFlower-Lovers Ezine #007: Peonies for the Yukon

STEP 2: Copy-and-paste the rest of your e-zine and simply
send it, exactly the way you would send it to your
recipient, to…

spamcheck-greatfx@sitesell.net

-OR-

Simply visit this URL and use the online form to spamcheck your e-mail…

You’ll get a report back (in seconds, perhaps a few minutes
if volume is heavy) telling you how good or bad your e-mail
is, from a spam-detector’s point of view. You will receive
a full, free report of all corrections that you should make
to your zine, in order to stay out of the junk folders. It
does NOT, of course, actually comment on WHAT you write –
first, it’s not that smart. And second, the actual content
is YOUR business!

And remember, this SpamChecker is just one feature of the
E-zine MailOut tool, which itself is merely one part of the
entire system of Site Build It! tools… guaranteed to make
any small business succeed online… in a tenth of the time
… at a tenth of price.

Just finished watching 60 minutes online. A fascinating story about this new GREEN invention called the the Bloom Box.  Looks like the size of a loaf of bread, but is said to have enough energy to power a house that’s equivalent to 5,000 square feet. If the Bloom Box becomes affordable, I think I’ll get one…

Got this from Bob Parsons…

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.

I believe that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone. I hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.” My response to that is simple: “Security is for cadavers.”

2. Never give up.

Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.

3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think.

There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”

4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.

Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of “undefined consequences.” My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, “Well, Robert, if it doesn’t work, they can’t eat you.”

5. Focus on what you want to have happen.

Remember that old saying, “As you think, so shall you be.”

6. Take things a day at a time.

No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.

7. Always be moving forward.

Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

8. Be quick to decide.

Remember what General George S. Patton said: “A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”

9. Measure everything of significance.

I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.

10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.

If you want to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you’re doing.

When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

12. Never let anybody push you around.

In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you’re doing as anyone else, provided that what you’re doing is legal.

13. Never expect life to be fair.

Life isn’t fair. You make your own breaks. You’ll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).

14. Solve your own problems.

You’ll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you’ll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: “You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others.” There’s also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: “A wise man keeps his own counsel.”

15. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.

16. There’s always a reason to smile.

Find it. After all, you’re really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: “We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time!”

Here are some creative ways to use your business cards:

Keeping Them Handy

• Always have your cards available (in your car, your pocket, your briefcase, your purse or wallet, your planner, at home – anywhere you can think of)… you never know when you may need them.

• Give some of your cards to your spouse, family and friends … they may meet someone who might be interested in your   business or service that you offer.

When To Use Them

• Give them out everywhere! When you meet someone at lunch, a grocery store, gas station, in the library, on the bus, at the park, your Children’s soccer games, neighborhood block party, … everywhere!

• Give out two cards at a time – one for the prospect or client and one for her/him to give away.

• Set a goal to give out 5, 10, 15, 20, or more cards every day.

Unique Places To Put Them

• Place some on the table when you leave a restaurant.

• Include your business card in correspondence pieces such as letters, invoices, even your monthly bills.

• Visit bookstores and place them in books related to your business. I call this Gorilla Marketing

• Post them in gas stations, restrooms, on payphones, ATM machines, and gyms, magazines in waiting rooms, college campuses and grocery store bulletin boards.

The possibilities are unlimited!
