We’re into spring now, and I think it’s about time to start putting
fertilizer down on my lawn, so that the grass won’t get all those
bugs, crabgrass, and crap mixed in with it. And then it will grow
fast so that I have to mow it more often. What’s up with that,
anyway? It’s like a punishment for having a healthy lawn. Ugh.
Sort of like your business, the more you “fertilize” it, in other
words doing the things that have effects (writing more articles,
shooting more videos, getting more links, launching more products,
that kind of thing), the more money you’ll make, and then you end up
paying more taxes at the end of the year. Ugh again.
Still, I’d rather be cutting a healthy green lawn more often than
looking at an ugly brown patch.
And I’d rather pay taxes on extra income rather than have a lower
income. After all, the feds don’t take 100% (at least not yet 
).
I have to fertilize the lawn 4 or 5 times a year, I guess, but the
business needs constant attention.
So think about it, are you going to fertilize your business today,
this week, and on an ongoing basis?

Seminar reminder:
For anyone who was worried about making non refundable flight plans
(I did receive one PM about it), there’s no worry about the seminar
being canceled (barring a complete disaster like the Grand Canyon
opening up and engulfing Las Vegas or something equally bad).
So even though only a small number of people have registered so
far, I’m going to be there, the speakers are going to be there, and
the fewer people that come, the more networking opportunities for
all of us.
Actually, there might be another exciting speaker coming as a
backup in case we have an open slot or can somehow squeeze out an
extra bit of time, so there will be no lack of great information
shared. I can’t announce the speaker’s name yet, but I’m excited,
I think you will be as well, and even if this person doesn’t end
up taking the stage, you’ll really enjoy meeting her, I guarantee it.
Here’s the sales page again:

Thanks to those that purchased PLR licenses to Action Enforcer
Online. I didn’t sell out yet, so I’ll leave the low priced offer
up for you until Sunday morning, then the price goes to $97
temporarily, then once 100 licenses are sold, it will go to $197 or
higher.
http://www.actionenforceronline.com
I did sell a pretty good number of the PLR licenses, but well short
of 100, so the competition isn’t overwhelming, nor will it be.
Actually I had an email from someone who did buy the license,
commenting that he thought I was killing my sales of the desktop
version by giving away access to the online version.
Good comment, and it made me think again about my original decision
to do this.
First of all, I still stand by my opinion that everybody wants to
make better use of their time. And I still stand by my opinion that
Action Enforcer helps people do that, big time. It works for me, it
will work for others, I have tons of feedback from happy users
backing me up.
So it came down to, did I want to continue to sell the desktop
version at $27 and give no other option… or did I want to give
reduced price, or free, access to anyone who could use it, make
people love me for helping them with their time management, get
them on an email list and build a relationship which would give me
the chance to make sales of assorted products for years to come, and
maybe a small percentage would want to upgrade to the desktop
version anyway?
I chose the latter. I don’t think I killed the market, by any
stretch of the imagination.
People in all walks of life would love to manage their time better,
not just Internet marketers. If you market to any niche, you might
do well with this:
http://www.actionenforceronline.com
Until Sunday, the price is only $47.

Lynne’s finding it hard to cancel a subscription and seems
especially frustrated with help desks. I feel her pain, to me help
desks can seem like the voice mail mazes I get stuck in with big
companies, in other words a way people can avoid dealing with
customers.
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10487
Bottom line: if you cancel a subscription by using the marketer’s
support ticket system, that might not be proof that you did indeed
cancel, in case you later need to ask for a chargeback.

Again with offline marketing, when you set up an interview with a
local business, what do you ask your prospect?
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10519
The answers to what you ask will help you make better informed
recommendations, and give the impression that you really do want
to help the business get new customers or increase the spending
habits of current ones. You only have one chance to make a good
first impression, after all, so how do you do that? Let’s share
ideas in this thread.

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger
there, that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after
all. We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge
there if you want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other,
and share with each other, and as you can see from the above sample
threads, there’s a lot of that happening.
