Barack Obama Says the Economy Stinks

The Economy Stinks for Too Many Americans

Only 1% of Americans are Doing Well!

Barack Obama hears a lot of comments as he travels around the country.

People in his town meetings let me know what they are experiencing. And a lot of people are experiencing hard times.

Barack commented on the state of the economy by saying, "You know, as I travel around the country, what I'm absolutely convinced of is that people recognize that if only 1% of the population is doing well, when we've got wage and incomes for the average worker actually going down during a period of economic expansion, much less economic recession, that something's being mismanaged. And they want a different approach."

Obama is absolutely right. People's wages are not keeping up with expenses. Gas prices are sky high. The cost of everything is going up. But, in all likelihood, your wages are not keeping pace.

What can you do?

Obviously, you need to make more money.

One way to make more money is Internet Marketing. But, most people who try online marketing fail. The reason is simple: They don't build a list.

So, if you are interested in learning to do Internet marketing right, Bob Sherman can help.

Prospect Blazer -- Is It For You?

Prospect Blazer: A Good Idea

Prospect Blazer is a good idea. A sound idea.

Prospect Blazer is essentially a technique for creating capture pages.

As you know, most capture pages offer an ebook or a special report in exchange for a visitor giving you their name and email address.

Well, Prospect Blazer takes this one step further. You're able to offer your visitor $1800 worth of digital products in exchange for their contact information.

Not only that, but you have tons of different capture pages with different messages that appeal to a variety of business opportunities.

And, Prospect Blazer also has loads of capture pages that sell individual product for which you make 100% commission.

You can see how Prospect Blazer works at the Prospect Blazer Demo.

And, you can see an actual capture page at Prospect Blazer Non-Paid Capture Page.

But, there is just one, hopefully temporary drawback. Prospect Blazer has two fatal design flaws.

To understand the design flaws, let's understand how Prospect Blazer works.

Prospect Blazer Works as Follows:

1) After you log in, you see the download page. There are tons of products, all with images. It takes a while for all the images to load, even on a broadband connection.

2) After the images are loaded the screen goes gray and prevents you from accessing any of the software download links.

3) An email capture form (from Aweber or other auttoresponder) appears in a popup window at a fixed location near the top of the page.

4) After you fill in the form the page becomes normal and you can download the software items.

Prospect Blazer and the Two Fatal Flaws

1) The capture popup form is located at a fixed position relative to the top of the page.

Now, what's the first things a person does when they see a page with tons of products? They start scrolling down the page to see the products.

So, if you scroll down the page while the images are loading, when the page goes gray you never see the capture popup because it's positioned at the top of the page--which is now off the screen.

You can't scroll back to the top, so you're out of luck and have to refresh your screen--if you think to do that.

The design solution is to place the popup at a fixed location relative to the browser window rather than the page.

2) When you click a link to download a software product prior to the screen going gray, it never goes gray. And the capture popup never appears.

The design solution is to create an intermediary page with the capture form in a frame on that window. Use JavaScript to detect the completion of the capture form before proceeding to the download page. Solving this problem would eliminate the need to fix the first problem.

So, hopefully, these problems will be addressed soon and Prospect Blazer with be, not only a viable product, but a worthwhile one, too.

Why Was Your Myspace Account Deleted?

Myspace Account Deleted?

Many people use Myspace for advancing their online and offline busnesses.

You may know of people who have had their Myspace account deleted, often without any explanation from Myspace.

So, why does Myspace delete accounts?

From their terms and conditions the only explanation for deleting your Myspace account is:

Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age, if we believe that you are under 18 years of age and you represent yourself as 18 or older, or if we believe you are over 18 and represent yourself as under 18.

It seems that the only valid reason for deleting accounts that are in accord with the Myspace terms and conditions is fraudulent age claims.

In addition, Myspace reserves the right to delete content from your site. Several places in the terms and conditions this right is described:


By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the MySpace Services, you hereby grant to MySpace a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on or through the MySpace Services, including without limitation distributing part or all of the MySpace Website in any media formats and through any media channels, except Content marked “private” will not be distributed outside the MySpace Website.

and

MySpace may reject, refuse to post or delete any Content for any or no reason, including Content that in the sole judgment of MySpace violates this Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any person or entity, or harm or threaten the safety of any person or entity.


It seems that any other interference with your Myspace account is outside their terms and conditions.

Because of the importance of Myspace to an Internet marketer's finances, it is important that both the Internet marketer and Myspace live up to the agreed to terms and conditions.

Does anyone have any reason to believe that these terms are not be adhered to by Myspace?

Cash Gifting: Would You Recognize a Cash Gifting Program Today?

Cash Gifting Programs Today

Cash gifting programs are quite popular on the Net. But, would you recognize a cash gifting program if you saw one?

Let's first understand what a cash gifting program is. A cash gifting program is one in which you can receive cash from someone without providing them a product in return. You get into a cash gifting program by giving your sponsor cash. After that, you can find others who will give you cash.

Now, that's the bare bones version. You'll find a number of these programs on the Internet. If you receive email you've undoubtedly gotten ads for cash gifting programs showing the UPS man arriving at someone's door. They open the envelop and pull out a stack of hundred dollar bills.

But, there are a number of people who think such "schemes" are unethical. And, they wouldn't even think of getting involved with such a program.

So, many entrepreneurs have dressed up the cash gifting opportunity in new clothes. While the essence of the cash gifting program remains, these dressed up programs usually include a variety of products, usually digital products.

You'll find a number of programs being offered that include hundreds, if not thousands, of digital products. These can include software programs, ebooks, as well as audio and video courses. Most of these products are offered with resale or even master resale rights. This means a member can resell these products and keep all their profit. And, many people who join these organizations do make a substantial income from the sale of these products.

But, most people who join these organizations make the majority of their income from getting other people to join the opportunity. In most cases, nearly all the cost to join these organizations goes to the sponsor of the new recruit. That can amount to a thousand dollars or more.

Such organizations typically collect the new recruit's joining fee and distribute a share to the sponsor. The new recruit does not send cash directly to their sponsor.

Some organizations provide significant services to their members. To finance these services they take a cut of the joining fees. This cut funds such activities as the development of web sites, training materials, and providing online training to members. But, still, the majority of the joining fee goes to the sponsor of the new recruit.

One new development in this opportunity niche is residual income. Traditionally, members of most cash gifting programs receive income only from new recruits. An innovation in the industry has members now paying a monthly fee. Some of this fee may go to support the organization's infrastructure while the rest of the monthly fee goes to the sponsor. This feature greatly increases the income a member can receive as a good recruiter.

So, it's the aspect of making lots of money by recruiting others that makes these organizations cash gifting programs in new clothes. So, look closely at the commission structure of organizations you are thinking of joining to determine if they are profitable cash gifting programs.

Tips on Running an Internet Marketing Business

An Internet Marketing business does not have to take up most of your time. You actually can have flexible working hours. But, you must remember that it's a "business." It requires consistent and persistent effort. By starting part time while you're still working, you will have an income even if your Internet marketing business doesn't start out making huge amounts of money for you.

Every business is a risk. An Internet marketing business is no different. The advantage of setting up an Internet marketing business is you can do it on a on the cheap, making the risk more comfortable.

While an Internet marketing business can be emotionally and financially rewarding, it can also be challenging and frustrating. Some Internet marketing businesses do not take off immediately and the rewards can only be seen after learning the ropes.

An Internet marketing business requires a new skill-set for most people.

Working at home can also spell boredom after several years of working in an office with plenty of people.

How do you choose the right business for you?

Take an inventory of your skills, talents and your experiences at your job or in another business. Then make a list of ten or so Internet marketing business niches you are interested in. Cross check this list with your talent and skills list.

You should then have a good idea of what business niches are ideal for you given your talent and experience. See if you can correspond with others in the top niches. Ask them for the best resources that helped them most.

A workable Internet marketing business niche must be responsive to or create a market need. It also must last for a long time. So, depending on your skills and interest, even a highly competitive niche can be conquered.

You must also consider if you have the financial resources and interest to maintain the business effort required before you build an income. Most Internet marketing businesses don't automatically generate lots of money right from the start. So you have to sacrifice time and financial resources to help the business grow.

Running you own Internet marketing business is an entirely different ball game from your job. You have to keep yourself highly motivated and confident. You're on your own and you do not have a boss hovering over your shoulder to see that things are being done well. You have to be your own boss. You'll have to develop your skills and manage your schedule to make your Internet marketing business grow and prosper.

See an Internet marketing business that develops both your mind-set and your skill-set.

21st Century Prospecting -- It Not Like You Dad Remembers

It's All About Downline Building

You know the importance of building a downline.

Your downline helps build your income. Whether you're in a MLM organization or just get commissions from those you personally sponsored, building your downline is critical.

So, how do you go about recruiting new members?

Of course the old way was to contact people and arrange to meet them at a hotel where your organization held it's opportunity meetings. You found prospects anywhere you could. You found them in the mall, the bathroom, in the lunch line. And, don't forget the 200 person list of friends, relatives, even the postman.

Well, all that's changed since the Internet became popular. Now you can advertise and attract people to your "capture page" where they can enter their name, email address and often their phone number if they like what they see on your web page.

The captured information (name, email address, and phone number) then go into a database usually associated with an autoresponder. The autoresponder sends off prepared emails to prospects telling them about your opportunity and inventing them to your online opportunity meeting or training classes.

People from across the country or around the world can attend your opportunity presentation on an Internet "webinar." A webinar is like a lecture hall with an area where documents or web sites can be displayed. There's even an option for people viewing the webinar to enter text questions or even speak to the presenters.

Now, people spend most of their time driving traffic to their capture pages. That's what the business of building a downline is all about.

In addition, you can pay others to help build your downline. Once an organization has the skills to drive people to a capture page they can sell you hot lead lists that you can contact via email or call and talk up your opportunity. One such organization is Automatic Autoresponder.

Some organizations will also get prospects to actually sign up for a free trial at your opportunity's signup area. This can be a real advantage if you are limited in time or knowledge about the Web. One such organization is Signups Guaranteed.

In any case, the important thing to remember is that recruiting in the 21st century is all about finding targeted prospects on the Web.

Wishing you the best,
