To Prevent Marketing Failure: Do This

It is not surprising to know that there are many people who started their own affiliate marketing business but only a small percentage of them will be able to make a full time income that is enough for them to quite their day job. Is it because the affiliate marketing industry is getting too competitive, not an easy business for people with no technical skills or it is just a myth that it is possible to make long term income from this business?
The fact is that most the reasons that people gave for their failure in this business is simply just excuses. If you really want to get results from your own affiliate marketing business, you will need to make sure that you are doing the right things. Here are the 3 things that you need to be aware if you want to get long term affiliate income.
Having The Dedication And Discipline To Achieve Results
If you really want to make a full time income online from your own affiliate marketing business and you are new to this business, you should start thinking how dedicated you need to be in order to achieve the results. Let's make use of learning driving as an example. If you wanted to make a living as a professional racer, do you think it is enough to just practice a few hours weekly and become to be good enough to compete in the race? If you are just starting out, you will still need to know the basic skills on how to drive the car.
Once you know how to drive the car, you will still need to spend a lot of your time to master the advanced skills that are needed in competitive races. Professional racers will spends many hours on a daily basis to hone their skills, study the game, identify their problems and stick to one training system as that is the way to get results.
You will want to put in the same effort into building your own affiliate marketing business. Most people will purchase one internet marketing system, get excited about it, follow the system for one or two weeks and just give up when they did not see results. The main problem is that most of them are not following the system closely and they are simply not prepared to do the required work to achieve the results. Most of the successful marketers will have the discipline to follow the system very closely till they get results and they might even create their own system which works better.
Focus On Following One System
There are many products available on the internet that teaches the different systems to make money online. Most of these products give good advice except for some junk product. The fact is that most of the systems will requires the person to use techniques that might be tedious, repetitive and it will take some times before it will start to show some results. Many of them will start to complain that the system is not working as they did not get much result.
Before you start to complain, you will want to take note of the amount of correct work you have done to promote your business. Yes, you need to make sure that you are doing the right working as doing the wrong work for long period of time will not give you any results. You need to start asking yourself several questions like:
- Have you written and posted articles consistently?
- Have you done the proper keyword research?
- Have you follow the traffic plan consistently?
Most people will reply that they did not do much of the task required or they did not do the task consistently. You need to take note that most of the proven systems online will requires you to do certain tasks consistently over a period of time before you will be able to start seeing some results. If the driving instructor requires you to practice 5 hours daily but you only practice 5 hours weekly, do you think you will be able to master the skills. Are you going to start blaming or you are going to take responsible for your own action?
Having The Discipline To Set Some Time For Your Business
Most people living in the modern society will complain that they do not have enough time. If you want to see results from your affiliate marketing business, you will need to commit some time to growing it. According to research done by the Neilsen Company, an average American watches at least 4 hours of TV every day. You can imagine the amount of work that can be done to grow your business if you invested like 1 or 2 hours into your business. Watching the TV 4 hours daily will not get you any results as there is no systems that will allow you to earn money while you don't have to do any work.
When you are learning something new, you will have to overcome the learning curve before you will be able to master the skills. If you are investing time consistently into your business, you will be able to overcome the learning curve much faster which means that you will be nearer to achieving the results. Focus on following one system closely, do all the required tasks and focus on overcoming any problems that you might face. It is definitely worth skipping some TV daily to do productive work which will brings you consistent stream of income on a long term basis.
The affiliate marketing business will requires you to commit your time, effort and money into growing your business. If you have not done everything that you can to make your affiliate marketing dream a reality, it is time for you to start taking action now.  Don't forget to check out The Corner Market-ing.  Click here or on my name and see the many proven opportunities we have to offer.  That's all for now,  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

He Reward Even The Little Things

"And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."          Matthew 10:42
 
MATTHEW 10:1-42, 11:1, MARK 6:7-13, LUKE 9:1-6

This verse shows that even our smallest acts of kindness will be rewarded. As revealed in 1 Corinthians 3:13, every man's work shall be tried to determine "what sort it is," not what size it is. Many people who have never done anything to gain the attention of the masses will shine bright in the day when the Lord passes out His rewards.

Some of the Lord's rewards for our actions come in this life, such as children, financial blessings, health, and many others. However, some of our rewards will not be realized until we stand before God. This is the case with the reward for enduring persecution.

Many of the rewards for ministering the Gospel will not come until we appear before the Lord. Rewards can be shared by those who aid others in their righteous tasks.

The ungodly who are not in the Kingdom of God will receive no rewards even though some of their actions might have been good. Rewards are only for those who have been cleansed from their evil deeds by the blood of the Lamb.

Regardless of what these rewards shall be, there will not be any exalting of self over others. "For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" (1 Cor. 4:7) The twenty-four elders in Revelation 4:10 are shown casting their crowns (which were rewards) down before the Lord and giving all their praise and worship to Him. It's all because of Him. Thank Him today for His goodness.  Be Blessed and as always "Enjoy Your Coffee"                                    by Andrew Wommack

ABOUT PERSECUTION


"But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come."             Matthew 10:23
 
MATTHEW 10:16-26

Persecution is an inevitable part of the Christian life. Persecution is from Satan and is designed to uproot God's Word in our lives by taking our eyes off Jesus. We should not think it is strange to be persecuted. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Tim. 3:12). We can actually rejoice because we are being persecuted, for Jesus' sake, knowing that the Lord will be with us in the midst of the persecution and that there will be more than ample reward when we stand before Him (Heb. 11:26).

Persecution is an indication that the ones doing the persecuting are under conviction. They realize that they are not living what your words or actions are advocating and so, in defense of self, they attack the ones whom they perceive to be the source of their conviction. If this is understood, it makes persecution much easier to take. They aren't just mad at you; they are convicted. When the Gospel is presented in the power of the Holy Spirit, there will always be either a revival or a riot, but not indifference.

There are many forms of persecution. Having your life threatened because of your faith in Jesus is one way you can be persecuted, but it is not the most damaging. History shows that the Church has always flourished under persecution with increased numbers and zeal. During intense, life-threatening persecution, people's priorities get straightened out and the Lord assumes His rightful place. This always works for our good, regardless of what our outward circumstances might be. Remember it is not you that they are persecuting, but rather Christ in you.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"          by Andrew Wommack
Thanks to the advent of the Internet and incredible advancements in technology, being an affiliate marketer today has never been easier. It has also made the work environment more accessible and convenient.
Most affiliate marketers today work from home which not only saves enormous amounts of time and money, but allows business owners the luxury of working at any hour they choose as well as balancing family and personal life.
For the typical affiliate marketer, a great day would like something like this...
After the usual morning routine of waking up and getting ready for the day, the computer in the office is turned on to check out the latest developments that are happening in the market. If need be, the affiliate marketer may need to tweak a few things here and there to make sure everything is running smoothly and that customer's orders have been properly fulfilled.
Next, the website needs to be fine-tuned to ensure maximum efficiency. If not, visitor and conversion rates will decline and that means lower sales.
Once this is done, it's time to submit your program to affiliate marketing directories. Not only do these directories help to attract people in joining your affiliate program but it is a great way of promoting your name and program to other affiliate marketers.
Next, you will spend some time reviewing the number of sales you are receiving from affiliates and to ensure they are accurate. This will include such things as: phone orders, proper communication has been sent out to customers, any new visitors to the website, recording contact information, etc.
One way to ensure more sales is to stay visible and accessible. That means you must selectively choose only the best and most effective ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations that will keep attracting visitors to your website each day.
In addition to this, inquiries from prospects must be answered quickly and efficiently to keep them happy and from going to your competition.
Next, it's important to keep in constant contact with other affiliates in the same program and to build solid relationships with them. You'll want to discuss important things such as best practices and tips, how to best promote each other's products and so on.
After this is completed, you'll write and submit an article or two to e-zine. After checking in on the market once again for any new developments, you will share this information as well as introduce new products with your customers via e-mail, newsletters, blogs, etc. You will also want to update any old content with fresh and relevant information. In these communication messages, don't forget to show your appreciation to those who have helped promote you and your products. You can do so by briefly mentioning the persons, their websites and what they did to help you and others increase sales.
By now it's almost lunch but you still have time to write some recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. After this, you post a few comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site for those looking to break into the market.
You check the clock on the wall and it's just after 1:00PM. Time to grab some lunch, head down to the beach, maybe go for a workout, and then spend time with the family in the evening.
Yep, time flies but you don't care because life as an affiliate marketer is great and the best part is you get to do it all over again tomorrow!  Before you go, if you would like additional information as well as online opportunities click on my name.  That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Is It Possible?


Is It Possible To Integrate Biblical Values Into Your Professional Life?

Yes! Jesus did it. And so can you!

As a young man, Jesus Christ was in the carpentry business. Can you imagine Him delivering an inferior piece of furniture to a customer?
  • Or deceiving people through an advertising campaign?
  • Or inflating sale prices beyond reasonable profit margins?
  • Or failing to give top notch service after the sale?
  • Or underpaying the employees in His carpentry shop?
Can you conceive of Jesus telling the local rabbi, "Well, times are tough. It's unrealistic to literally apply Biblical principles to business, given the realities of today's business climate. We have to bend the rules here and there to survive"? Hardly.

The fact is that Jesus lived a life of total integrity… and He expects the same of us:

"(He) has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet was without sin… " (Hebrews 4:15)

Dr. Laura Nash, suggests five questions we might ask ourselves as we seek to apply Biblical ethics to business:

1. Am I hiding something?

2. Am I hurting anyone?

3. How does it look from the other person's point of view?

4. Have I discussed this face-to-face?

5. What would I tell my child to do?

If we are unable to integrate Biblical values into our business or profession, perhaps we need to reevaluate our vocation or calling.

How to Add New Backlinks to your Website

Many sites are out there that are adding backlinks - high quality ones at that - day after day. The sites that manage to do this generally have two key elements in common. They produce quality content, and they do it consistently. Whatever your site is about, you will need to master these elements as well. The key is not in getting wrapped up in the numbers. Instead you should be getting wrapped up in your passion and producing the type of specialized content that other sites in your industry are not. There are a few key steps in being able to do this. They are as follows:
1) Cover what you know, or what you don't mind learning more about.
It's been said that one should always write what they know without exception. But doing this can turn you into a broken record very quickly. Rather than bang the same drum over and over, you should instead cover the things that fascinate or interest you in addition to what you already know a lot about. By cooking these two elements together, you will be able to bring out informed content with a unique voice. And when you can distinguish yourself as unique in a virtual pond of millions and millions of sites, you are well on your way to keeping the audience around for the long haul.
2) Plan, plan, and then plan some more.
If you fly by the seat of your pants on content, then you will probably produce the occasional piece that hits a home run, but the everyday reality is that you will be adrift in that virtual pond, and the audience will have trouble rescuing you. By planning your content ahead of time, you give yourself, or your professional content provider, a roadmap for further success. Success without planning, it has been said, is impossible. While this may not be true in that it discounts the third element that is about to be discussed, it can kill your frequency and knock you off the right track.
3) Get lucky.
Yes, yes, it seems impossible to will luck to work in your favor, but don't be so quick to dismiss it. There is a direct correlation between luck and hard work. Essentially, doing the very best you can for as long as it takes to find an audience will eventually deliver luck when you are ready for it professionally. When you think of luck, not as some cosmic slot machine that disperses large winnings to people, who rarely play the game, but as what it really is: karma's ability to catch up with your continued hard work and diligence, you are well on your way to where you need to be as a business.  Don't forget to visit our site, just click on my name and see if we can help.  That's all for now,  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Get Rid of Fear

Luke 8:50, "But when Jesus heard it, he answered him saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole."
                         MATTHEW 9:23-31; MARK 5:35-43; LUKE 8:49-56

Jesus told Jairus to "believe only," implying that faith and fear can operate in us at the same time. This is also the reason James tells us not to be double-minded, or to waiver (Jas. 1:5-8). Fear will negate faith. We can have both thoughts of faith and thoughts of unbelief at the same time.

Fear and faith are opposing forces. Fear is actually faith in reverse. Fear is believing something or someone other than God. Therefore, fear makes us subject to Satan and his death just as faith makes us recipients of all that God has to offer. This is the reason Jesus told Jairus, "Fear not." Jairus' fear would have sealed his daughter's death.

Instead of trying to build huge amounts of faith to overcome our fears and unbelief, a simpler method is to remove our fears by cutting off their source. Then, our simple "child-like" faith that remains will do the job. It doesn't take big faith - just pure faith.

Where does fear come from? Second Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind." It doesn't come from God. The way that fear is able to come upon us is that we take our attention off of Jesus and put it on our situation.

Fear or doubt cannot "just overcome" us. We have to let it in. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God's Word. We would not be tempted with fear or doubt if we didn't consider things that Satan uses to minister that fear and doubt.

Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our concern about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus, the Word.  That's good.  As always, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Improper Marketing and How It Can Destroy Your Business

You can have the greatest product in the world, but if you have bad marketing, the world will never know about it. Bad marketing, unfortunately, exists all over. Wherever someone is firing off a poorly targeted ad for thousands if not millions of dollars, there is bad marketing. Whenever someone tries to browbeat people uninterested in a particular style of product despite having the tools necessary to know better, there is bad marketing. Whenever a company throws good money after bad, there is bad marketing. If you are confident that your product or service is the real deal, then you need to avoid bad marketing at all costs. And the way to do that is through building relationships with people, who have an interest or a passion for your niche.

Advertising in the 21st Century simply doesn't work for most products. If it is the type of product that everyone uses, such as toilet paper, then they usually go with the cheapest within their quality preference. If it is a more specialized market, you may be reaching millions of people, but when none of those people, or at least a very small fraction, are buyers, it is simply not worth what it will cost you for that kind of widespread visibility. More companies have gone broke as a result of poor marketing practices than poor product development or poor customer service. And the reason is that marketing can be highly expensive. People make the mistake of thinking money thrown at the problem is the way to overcome poor sales, when the reality is one may need to be using more creativity than dollars to reach the masses.

The first thing you need to do if your business is not getting the results that you expect of it is to reevaluate your marketing methods, figure out what your most expensive budget items are, and then weigh them against the results they produce. If they leave you bleeding capital, then stop using those methods and reinvest into what is getting you the results you're looking for. A multi-prong approach does one little good whatsoever if most of the prongs are missing the mark. So it may be time to simplify your efforts.

Once you have adjusted your marketing budget, stay on top of the results versus the output. You don't want 80% of the work to be producing 20% of the income. If possible, you want that to be the other way around. With a clearer sense of where your marketing dollars are going, a deeper embrace of technology and its free effects on your business, and good customer service, you can overcome the problems of bad marketing and set a more successful path for your business.  To find out more about this article and many other opportunities, click on  Michael Stanley.   That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee".

The Law Of Faith


, "And Jesus said, 'Who touched me?' When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, 'Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?'"     Luke 8:45
             MATTHEW 9:18-20; MARK 5:21-34; LUKE 8:40-48

The multitudes were thronging Jesus. That is, they were compressing, and crowding in on all sides, so it seems strange that He would ask, "Who touched me?" Many people were physically touching Jesus, but this woman touched His power by faith. Many people in the crowd probably needed healing, but this person is the only one mentioned who received. The difference was the touch of faith.

If it was simply Jesus' willingness to heal that determined whether or not the healing took place, then all of the sick in this multitude would have been healed. This instance illustrates that it's not prayer that saves the sick, but rather the prayer of faith that saves the sick (Jas. 5:15).

Healing is governed by law and not by a case by case decision from God based on His feelings toward us. This woman received her healing by the law of faith before Jesus knew anything about her. Impassioned pleas to God will not obtain the miracle we seek. Although Jesus is touched by our feelings, it requires faith. It's not because Jesus doesn't know our needs or hear our cries that miracles don't happen, but rather it's because very few know how the law of faith works.

One of the main differences between a God-kind of faith and a natural, human faith, which everyone has, is that human faith believes only what it can see, taste, hear, smell, or feel. God's kind of faith believes in things that cannot be seen. You must believe that you receive your answer "when you pray" - not when you see the thing you've desired. Simply put, faith is our response to God's ability, made complete by our actions. Trust Him completely and, because you believe, your actions will follow.       by Andrew Wommack

How to find Keywords, and use them Effectively

This article we'll cover keywords, an absolutely vital part of your internet marketing strategy because understand this keywords are the absolute backbone of the internet - it's the golden key to how your visitors and customers will find you. Get it wrong and you'll remain in the Internet wilderness - so listen up.
Free & Easy
Everybody knows that SEO works to get you listed at the top of Google's search results. Doing so brings traffic to your website. We also know that all of this activity is centred on keywords. How do you discover which keyword will bring you the most people? Thankfully, there is a free tool to help you do that. It's called the Google Keyword Tool. You can visit it here by Googling the term Keyword Tool External, its really that easy.
You can get as complicated as you want with this tool, but for our purposes here, I'm going to just give you an introduction on how to use it. Then, you should just get on the site and play around. You'll learn a lot quickly!
Basically, it works by telling you how many people search on your keywords every month. It also gives you suggestions for other keywords you might want to use. When you're finished using it, then you will know which keywords to use both on and off your website.
Top Tip
- there's many keyword tools out there, both free and paid-for. Now I've personally used a number but I keep coming back to the Google one - why? Its free, its easy to use and it delivers. Don't over complicate matters and believe me some of the other tools are pretty complicated.
Where To Put Your Keywords
It's important to make a note here about where to use these keywords. If you remember, being listed at the top of Google works in two ways. It depends on everything you do inside your website (on-page SEO) and everything you do outside your website (off-page SEO). Once you know the keywords you should target, you can begin including them in pages on your website. However, remember that Google works mostly based on what you're doing outside your website. Whenever a link points back to one of your pages, make sure it has the same keywords in the anchor text.
"What is anchor text?"
You may ask. Well, it's like this: You know that links can send you to other pages on the Internet when you click them, right? Did you ever notice that the words you click are different from the address of the page? "Anchor text" means the actual words you read and click on. You want that text to be the same as the keywords found on the web page it points to. Then, that particular web page is more likely to show up higher on Google's results page when people search for that keyword.
See how that works?
The same keywords both inside and outside your website are sending Google the same message. That's how Google knows to let people see your website at the top of their list. Don't make all your links 100% the same keyword, though. Google can penalize you for that. Instead, mix it up with a few others and use the main keyword 80% of the time.
Keywords can get complicated and nobody agrees completely on how much to use and where. But as a general rule, diversify your keywords a little. Also, when selecting keywords, the Google Keyword Tool will show you the amount of competition. Try to choose keywords that have lots of searches but not much competition. 
Before you leave the page, I would like to invite you to my new website.  It also has a blog and tons of information for today's online marketer.  Just click on my name and you'll be there straight away.  We're always trying to improve out here, so tell me what you think.  That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Simply posting articles that are fluffy with words is not going to get you anywhere - the articles need to be interesting to read.
If you plan on using money in order to promote your website, you need to have a budget in mind. Whatever you do, do not go over that budget. If you do not have a budget in mind, you could end up spending too much money when you should be making money.
You will need to learn the different techniques to drive traffic to your site. If you do not drive traffic to your site, you will not earn any affiliate commissions. Submit online press releases and write articles that are related to your niche. You may also be interested in exchanging links with other high quality websites that are related to your topic.

The Right Way to Create an Effective Email Marketing Campaign

There are five key fundamentals to any effective email marketing campaign. Without these "must-haves," many email marketing newsletters fall flat.
If you're new on the email marketing block or a seasoned professional who needs a little refresher, we've gathered together what you need to include when you create an effective email marketing campaign.
Remember, it is all about learning what works best and acting on it. But you also need to stay ahead of the curve by trying new variations and changing up your strategies. Online marketing is a game that never stays the same for very long and it is those who adapt that win.
1. Right Time
The "right" time to send out your email boosts your overall effectiveness. So, the "right" time for your email marketing campaign is dependent on your customers' behavior and when your data shows they are the most active.
2. Right Message
"Right" means relevancy. One of the most essential components to create an effective email marketing campaign is that your content is relevant to your subscribers. If you stay on top of what your data says about your customers, then you'll have an idea of what they respond to the best.
3. Right Sender
This is a quick and easy trick to bolster your effectiveness: change your "sender's" information from some generic company name to an actual person.
4. Right Design
Both under designing and over designing lowers your effectiveness. Under designing shows your customers that you don't know what you're doing and that you're not all that professional. Over designing shows that you spend more time and money on flash rather than meeting your customers' needs. And, they'll assume that the deals aren't that great because you have to cover the costs of your expensive design scheme.
5. Right Technique
"Right" technique boils down to how well you know your customers and how tuned in you are to their email habits. Segmenting your email list into different categories will help you better target your subscribers while skyrocketing your overall effectiveness.
Now that you have the "right" fundamentals under your belt, the email marketing world is yours for the taking. Keep a log of each technique and what you changed. Then after the right amount of time, remove the ones that are not working.
If this was a refresher course, we hope the brain has been rekindled with the basics. Now it is up to you to make it happen.  Be sure and click on my name before leaving the page.  There's are always additional information and opportunities.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Worship Is Warfare

Mark 5:6, "But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him."
MATTHEW 8:28-34; MARK 5:1-17; LUKE 8:27-39

The word "worshipped" is taken from the Greek word "proskuneo" which means "to prostrate oneself in homage to; do reverence to; adore." The fact that this tormented man ran to Jesus, and not away from Him, indicates that even "demon-possessed" people have a free will and Satan cannot control an individual without his consent.

Many battles have been fought over whether or not a Christian can be demon possessed. The Greek word for "possessed" literally means "to be demonized." The Bible makes no clear distinction between degrees of demon activity (such as oppressed, depressed, possessed, etc.), but simply refers to people as being "demonized." All Christians are fighting against spiritual powers. If we don't put on the whole armor of God, Satan can certainly affect us or even control us.

The best way to administer deliverance is through God's Word. As a person receives the Word, it will set him free and also help guard against this situation when the demon tries to come back in with seven other spirits. In severe cases of being demonized, the individual clearly needs the help of a believer, and that's the reason why Jesus equipped all believers with authority over evil spirits.

Anointed praise and worship will also drive off evil spirits. One thing reserved for God alone is worship, and the devil has always sought that. If he can't be the one to receive worship, then he seeks to turn others away from giving true worship to the most High God. Praise and worship to the Lord is such a powerful tool against Satan. He can't stand to see God worshipped. Worship God today in spirit and in truth. The Father seeks those who will worship Him this way. He's waiting for you.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

"But We See Jesus..."

Good morning and Praise God!!

I must greet you with such enthusiasm this morning, because realizing once again how Great, and Powerful your God is is, makes your Spirit just cry out "Yes!! Lord Yes!!".  I love each and every one of you and my prayer is that you find comfort and shelter in the Almighty. Yielding yourself to the Holy Spirit Of God for direction in every aspect of your life.

Imagine  yourself walking down the street, on your way to pay a bill that you don't have the money for.  Just for a moment you allow the spirit of doubt to interfere with what you know is true.  As you walk, thinking to yourself  "What am I gonna tell these people?"  Been there?  Almost everyone has at some point in their lives.

My point being, when confronted with the question,  Why should there be any other thought than the truth?  For some reason we have forgotten that, as Believers our very existence should be grounded and rooted in the truth.  The world say's it's socially acceptable to make an excuse or give a "more believable" reason why or why not.  But lets examine what the Word says about the truth.  Proverbs 12:17 states "He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness:  but a false witness deceit".  And then again in vs. 19, it says "The lip of truth shall be established for ever:  but a lying tongue is but for a moment".  These are just a couple of examples, there are more.

Back to this walk.  Have you ever heard that the battle is in the mind.  Nothing more true  could have ever been said.  Because now your mind is working as fast as it can to come up with something.  It's not a good feeling knowing that for whatever reason you're in this position.  You're in it.  It's at times like these many turn to different vices of this world, But when you've done all you can, God knows it and he has a plan for your life.  Realizing this, a smile crosses your face, and silent you say "thank you Jesus"

So You start to praise God for all He's done, continuing to walk you began to reflect upon your first encounter with the Holy Spirit, you begin to identify yourself with Christ, you start to realize the promises of God, all of a sudden this trip doesn't seem so bad.  No, you don't have the money to pay the bill.  Only God knows what the outcome will be. Continuing to walk, you realize that everything around you has taken on a different look.  You begin singing praises because in your Spirit you have peace.  This goes on right up to the door. Before going in, you decide to go to the restroom for a final prayer.  On the way through the door you realize that there is a $100 bill on the floor of the first stall.  Right away you run to it and look around and think well "Thank You Lord".   But are you sure?  You know the people that work there, if it were one of theirs it could cause something in their home to go lacking.  What do you do?

I used this example because we are faced with this decision in life more often than not.  We know what's right, and what's true.  Why is it so hard to do what's right?  Most of us have been taught wrong.  What I mean by that is, we were taught to go to Church.  We that taught that a man takes care of his house.  We were taught if we were baptized, we were saved.  So as we grow up we polish these things we were taught until they shine.  Only to find out that the right thing to do is let the people in the office know that you found a $100 dollar bill to insure that you are not taking away from one of God's children.  Psalms 127:3 states "Lo, Children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward".

In Hebrews 2:9 opens with "But We See Jesus..."  Imagine if we were to apply that phrase to every situation that we face in this life.  For instance The rest of the world is watching the economy struggle, but we see Jesus!  The rest of the world sees sickness, poverty, and destruction, we see Jesus!  Many people have bad expectations for the future, we only see Jesus!

Seeing Jesus is a choice, a lifestyle, which shapes your existence and defines your expectations.  When Peter walked on the water toward Jesus, as long as he saw Jesus he was able to defy nature.  But once he took his eyes off of Jesus he began to sink.  The same thing happens to us today.   See Jesus, and make Him your default.  That way, should anything happen that you're unable to handle.  Jesus and the Word of God is your default.  This is a very good place to be.

In John 16:33, Jesus reminds us that He has overcome the world.  Choose to see Jesus and don't let the things of this world cause fear or anxiety in our lives.  Choose to live victoriously and "See Jesus" in every situation and watch your expectations be completely transformed.  Praise God!   Enjoy Your Coffee"

What You Can Do To Prevent Failure In Your Affiliate Marketing Business

It is not surprising to know that there are many people who started their own affiliate marketing business but only a small percentage  of them will be able to make a full time income that is enough for them to quite their day job. Is it because the affiliate marketing industry  is getting too competitive, not an easy business for people with no technical skills or it is just a myth that it is possible to make long term income from this business?

The fact is that most the reasons that people gave for their failure in this business is simply just excuses. If you really want to get results from your own affiliate marketing business, you will need to make sure that you are doing the right things. Here are the 3 things that you need to be aware if you want to get long term affiliate income.

Having The Dedication And Discipline To Achieve Results

If you really want to make a full time income online from your own affiliate marketing business and you are new to this business, you should start thinking how dedicated you need to be in order to achieve the results. Let's make use of learning driving as an example. If you wanted to make a living as a professional racer, do you think it is enough to just practice a few hours weekly and become to be good enough to compete in the race? If you are just starting out, you will still need to know the basic skills on how to drive the car.

Once you know how to drive the car, you will still need to spend a lot of your time to master the advanced skills that are needed in competitive races. Professional racers will spends many hours on a daily basis to hone their skills, study the game, identify their problems and stick to one training system as that is the way to get results.

You will want to put in the same effort into building your own affiliate marketing business. Most people will purchase one internet marketing system, get excited about it, follow the system for one or two weeks and just give up when they did not see results. The main problem is that most of them are not following the system closely and they are simply not prepared to do the required work to achieve the results. Most of the successful marketers will have the discipline to follow the system very closely till they get results and they might even create their own system which works better.

Focus On Following One System

There are many products available on the internet that teaches the different systems to make money online. Most of these products give good advice except for some junk product. The fact is that most of the systems will requires the person to use techniques that might be tedious, repetitive and it will take some times before it will start to show some results. Many of them will start to complain that the system is not working as they did not get much result.

Before you start to complain, you will want to take note of the amount of correct work you have done to promote your business. Yes, you need to make sure that you are doing the right working as doing the wrong work for long period of time will not give you any results. You need to start asking yourself several questions like:

- Have you written and posted articles consistently?
- Have you done the proper keyword research?
- Have you follow the traffic plan consistently?

Most people will reply that they did not do much of the task required or they did not do the task consistently. You need to take note that most of the proven systems online will requires you to do certain tasks consistently over a period of time before you will be able to start seeing some results. If the driving instructor requires you to practice 5 hours daily but you only practice 5 hours weekly, do you think you will be able to master the skills. Are you going to start blaming or you are going to take responsible for your own action?

Having The Discipline To Set Some Time For Your Business

Most people living in the modern society will complain that they do not have enough time. If you want to see results from your affiliate marketing business, you will need to commit some time to growing it. According to research done by the Neilsen Company, an average American watches at least 4 hours of TV every day. You can imagine the amount of work that can be done to grow your business if you invested like 1 or 2 hours into your business. Watching the TV 4 hours daily will not get you any results as there is no systems that will allow you to earn money while you don't have to do any work.

When you are learning something new, you will have to overcome the learning curve before you will be able to master the skills. If you are investing time consistently into your business, you will be able to overcome the learning curve much faster which means that you will be nearer to achieving the results. Focus on following one system closely, do all the required tasks and focus on overcoming any problems that you might face. It is definitely worth skipping some TV daily to do productive work which will brings you consistent stream of income on a long term basis.

The affiliate marketing business will requires you to commit your time, effort and money into growing your business. If you have not done everything that you can to make your affiliate marketing dream a reality, it is time for you to start taking action now.   This website is designed to provide several different choices for online marketing business.  You can click on my name at anytime and it will take you to an opportunity.  That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Why Back Link Building Services are Important

These days all website owners know that if they want to get traffic to their site they have to build links to it. What is not clear to many site owners is just why they have to do this or how they should be doing it. Once you understand how the search engines rank sites it will become pretty obvious why you need to build links.
The reason that links are important to your website is that they are how the search engines assess the quality of your website. The search engines want to be able to provide their users with the most relevant and best quality sites for any service. The problem is in actually being able to do this. In order to determine which sites should be ranked where they have to rely on a computer algorithm, unfortunately the computer cannot determine the quality of a site.
Since the computer has no way of ranking sites based on quality another solution had to be found, that solution was to look at the links that a site had. The logic is that the sites that have a lot of links pointing at them are probably the best sites since people are more likely to link to good sites than to bad ones. Unfortunately it didn't take long for webmasters to realize that they could rig the results by building links to their own sites. This is why building links is so important if you want to get traffic to your site.
Because of the fact that everybody was building links to their own sites the search engines have changed the algorithm that they use. Nowadays the total number of links is far less important than where the links come from. The search engines are well aware that people will build links and although it creates a problem for them it is now an accepted part of online marketing. As a result they have come up with a compromise, basically the links that are harder to get are more valuable.
Links that can be easily obtained like the ones that you get from blog comments or forums are now pretty much worthless. The links that you need to get are the ones that are in the text of a relevant website. This has made link building a lot more difficult than it it used to be and has greatly reduced the manipulation of the search results. That being said it is still important that you build links to your site, you just have to make sure that you are building the right ones. This is why a back link building service is a good idea, they will be able to get the quality links that you need.  That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Servant Power

"And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"                Mark 4:41,
 
MARK 4:35-41

When God created this physical world and all of its inhabitants, He gave mankind authority to rule and subdue His creation. Although God still owned the universe and all that was in it, He gave control of the earth to man.

When man sinned, he began to use this power against God's wishes. God did not ordain all the terrible things that have happened throughout history, and yet He did not take back man's right to dominate the earth. Instead, He became a man and took back that authority to Himself by conquest. After Jesus' resurrection, He said in Matthew 28:18, "...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth," and then He gave the great commission to His disciples, thereby conferring that authority upon them, also. Jesus becoming flesh was absolutely essential for gaining all power (or authority) in heaven and in earth. Jesus was a "God-man." As stated in 1 Timothy 3:16, He was God manifested in the flesh, which is a great mystery.

Jesus came in the power and authority of His Father to point men to the Father God. Jesus existed before His advent on this earth in the form of God and was equal with God; yet, He humbled Himself and became a servant while here on earth. He did not come to promote Himself but to give Himself as the way unto the Father.

This is radically different from the way so called "great men" present themselves. The Roman Caesar of Jesus' day proclaimed that he was God and demanded worship. Lesser leaders ruled by exalting themselves over the people they governed. But, Jesus showed us that "whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mt. 20:26-28).  I could go on and on about the goodness of God.  There is none greater.  Amen.   by Andrew Wommack

What You Need to Know About Network Marketing Today

Knowing about network marketing today is important if you plan to venture into the activity to raise the bottom line of your business. Network marketing today refers to multi-level marketing companies that reach customers with the help of individual representatives. It can often be described in a pyramid structure where you can sell products and services to customers and recruit potential independent representatives at the same time that can benefit you a lot in the long run. The pyramid structure is a way to reach those customers who can't be assessed by the company itself. Why do they need independent representatives like you? Here are some facts you need to know about network marketing.
1. Gaining Access through Your Networks
If you have good social skills, you may excel when talking about your opportunity to other people. The company takes advantage of the multi-level structure through independent representatives. Independent representatives are needed because the company knows that they are capable of spreading and reaching out to different customers in different places. The company uses people like you to gain access to your friends and family.
The most effective marketing strategy is through word-of-mouth and on the internet. It can make the company generate profit with less effort and expense. However, there may be a possibility that the multi-level structure would weaken at the end-most part due to lack of planning and lack of training skills from independent representatives.
2. Generating Income Through Participation Fee
By using network marketing today strategy, some companies can generate income even without good sales from the products and services they offer. It is through participation fee that a company can generate income the most. A participation fee is required with a given motivation that the money can still be retrieved by recruiting possible independent representatives and through product commissions.
3. Network Marketing Today Can Let the Company Save Money, Time and Effort
Most companies have already spent millions of dollars for consumers to have an idea of their good product through advertisements. It can be done through TV ads, magazines and online ads based on pay per click. However, when talking about network marketing today, it is the easiest marketing strategy for the company to introduce their products and services to distributors instead of availing advertisements that are way too costly. As mentioned earlier, it is through word-of-mouth marketing that most company gain momentum and generate profit.
In modern days, most network marketing companies always plan to recruit more and more independent representatives with the aim of generating profit through participation fee alone. However, the company usually lacks training assessments for the recruited independent representatives to gain knowledge on the important skills they should have. In this case, the multi-level structure gets larger and the number of independent representatives who are unable to generate good sales because of lack of training would also start quitting. If you going to get involve in network marketing today, I would highly advise that you find a team that can train you on lead generation so you won't have to struggle like most.  Find out more about network marketing along with a solid opportunity.  Just click on my name and it will take you there.  That's all for now,  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Peace In The Midst of The Storm

                              
 "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master carest thou not that we perish?"                                  
Mark 4:37-38
 
MATTHEW 12:46-50; 8:23-27; MARK 3:31-35; 4:35-41; LUKE 8:19-26

Considering the fact that the boat was filled with water, it is amazing that the disciples had to awaken Jesus. This was not a large ship with cabins below deck but rather a small, open boat and Jesus was, no doubt, "soaked to the bone." This reflects Jesus' humanity and how tired He must have been. It also shows that Jesus must have been in a very deep sleep. Medical science has discovered that the deeper we sleep, the more rest our bodies get. This is a clue as to how Jesus could maintain the grueling pace He kept, along only with an occasional all-night prayer time. He was receiving the maximum benefit from His sleep.

Jesus did not say "Let us go out into the midst of the sea and drown in a storm." He was going to the other side. This shows that the disciples still didn't understand Jesus' authority. They were committed to Him as their Messiah, but they hadn't yet realized that Jesus was Lord even over the physical elements. Many Christians still do this today. They receive the spiritual benefits of salvation but have not reaped the physical benefits of health and prosperity, which are also part of our salvation.

Whichever we focus upon - the storm, or the Lord in the midst of our storm - will determine how we manage the storms we face in life. He is not asleep concerning the things you face in this life, He's right there in your "ship," resting, because He knows you'll both get to the "other side." His peace is yours. Believe His Word. Rest in His love.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"       by Andrew Wommack

How I Made My First Online Dollar

There are lots of ways to make money online including, affiliate marketing. If you're new to this term, then let me tell you a little more about it. It's really all about being an online salesperson for a vendor. In exchange you will earn commission for every item that you sell. It's the way that I made my first online dollar and it can be yours too. In this article I'm going to share with you what you need to know in order to do this.
A basic knowledge of marketing will help. It'll give you an idea of how to find the people who might buy the product that you want to sell. It will also give you an idea of how you can go about this. One of the key actions required in order to make a sale is to spell out the benefits of a product to the buyer. People don't think for themselves very well - so it's essential that you make it as easy as possible for them.
Good headlines are important. They're what attracts attention and you'll need to do a fair bit of writing with affiliate marketing. People are looking for information online, so if you can write a headline that not only attracts attention but also promises to answer a question, then you have hit the nail on the head. You should find out all that you can about the questions that your marketplace are asking in order to write the content that they want to read.
Learning about how the search engines work will help. The internet is all about words and operates mostly through the search engines. People enter the keywords that they are looking for information on and will look through the results that are returned. In effect, it is a big library of information and the search engines provide the index. Your job is to get your content listed in the search engines' first page of results when possible as this will bring you more traffic and you'll be more successful with your affiliate marketing sales.
Hanging out where your clients are will help. Clients can be found in several places including YouTube watching videos, on sites like Squidoo (which can do a lot to get you onto the first page of search engine results) and on social networking sites. With the use of a slide making piece of software such as PowerPoint then you can easily create slides. The trick is to use content that not only informs but it also engages and encourages a person to visit your website.
You can sell products without having your own website. When you use affiliate marketing sites such as ClickBank, you will be issued with an affiliate link. You can use this on your marketing material. For example, if you create a video for YouTube and upload it, then you add your link to the description field. Personally I prefer to take a domain name and either add forwarding to it so that it goes through to the sales page of the product, or you can create a website that not only sells the items but also makes an income from selling advertising space.  As you can see there are many ways to make money on the internet.  Click on my name and let us show you how we do it.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Joint Heirs With Christ

JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST

"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."       Matthew 12:50

MATTHEW 12:46-50

We are not just heirs, we are joint-heirs with Christ. It would be wonderful to inherit any amount of God's glory and power. But, the idea that we share equally with the one who has inherited everything God is and has is beyond comprehension. This is an awesome blessing, but it also places a tremendous responsibility on us.

In the same way in which a check made out to two people cannot be cashed without the endorsement of both parties, so our joint-heirship with Jesus cannot be taken advantage of without our cooperation. Unaware of this, many Christians are just trusting that the Lord will produce the benefits of salvation for them. They are acutely aware that they can do nothing without Him, but don't realize that He will do nothing without us (Eph. 3:20).

The idea that God will do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, PERIOD, is not true. He has power, but it is the use of His ability combined with the power that works in us. "No power working in us" means no power of God will come through us. The exceeding greatness of His power that is to us-ward who believe is power that is not external, but is internal, within the believer. It is working according to the faith that we exercise in the indwelling Savior. It was this principle that Paul was stating when he declared, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

The way we place our endorsement on the check is to believe what God promised in His Word and act on it as if it were true. IT IS! Jesus has already signed His name to every promise in the Word. We aren't waiting for Him. He is waiting for us.  "Enjoy Your Coffee".       by Andrew Wommack

The King of Hearts


KING OF HEARTS
 "And he said, Where unto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?"                     Mark 4:30

MARK 4:30-34

The word "kingdom" means "the realm over which a king rules." When applied to God, it could refer to all creation, since "his kingdom ruleth over all" (Ps. 103:19), but the kingdom more often applies to His rule in and through those who are submitted to Him. "The Kingdom of God" more specifically refers to Christ living and ruling in our hearts. So praying "thy kingdom come" is praying for the expansion and influence of God's rule in the hearts of men everywhere and, ultimately, the establishment of His physical Kingdom here on earth at His second coming (Rev. 11:15; 20:4).

Throughout Jesus' earthly ministry, the Jews kept looking for Jesus to establish a physical kingdom here on the earth and deliver them from the oppression of the Romans. Although, during the Millenium, the Kingdom of God will physically rule over the nations of the earth, Jesus' Kingdom is spiritually established by His Word and not by carnal weapons (2 Cor. 10:3-5). Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation . . .behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (Lk. 17:20-21) Paul says we are already in the Kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). The Kingdom of God is therefore Christ's "invisible Church," His body. The Kingdom began during His earthly ministry and is still ruling the hearts of men today.

The new birth ushers us into the Kingdom of God which is infinitely greater in wonder and benefits than our finite minds can comprehend. To the degree that we do begin to understand how God's Kingdom works and apply our lives to it, we can experience heaven here on earth. Pray for a release into the physical of what is already present in your spiritual being.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

You'll find a Tough Crowd when you Hard Sell

You've been there before; you've got a bit of time to kill so you wander off to the mall to do some browsing. Seconds after you walk into a store 'he' appears, clipboard and pencil at the ready, anxious to 'help'. Smiling, you politely decline. You tell him you're 'just looking'.
Your attention is drawn to an interesting item and you walk towards the display, unaware that you are being followed. As you reach out to touch, you are startled by a voice behind you explaining the material and my, how great that color would look on you. It's 'him' and it's apparent, he will be your shadow throughout your visit to this store. He works on commission and he's hungry. In fact, if he doesn't make any sales today, he's going home... for good!
You can feel the desperation. It makes you uncomfortable; annoyed; so you leave.
You've also been in those cavernous warehouse outlets, lost somewhere on isle 48. The item you want is 20 feet up on the shelf and there's absolutely no one around to help you get it down. You wander around a bit and finally find someone who might be able to help. Unfortunately, there are a few people ahead of you. Since you really need that item today you decide to wait your turn. After 30 minutes, the 'helper' tells you - regretfully - it's not his department. Then 'Poof', he's gone!
And in a few more minutes, so are you!
Is Your Website Like That?
Sometimes you just want to research some information on a product. While many of the better sales pages do a decent job of highlighting the benefits or their product, they don't always answer all of your questions. Instead, they continue to pound you with compelling 'reasons' to buy using tactics such as scarcity 'only 5 left' and fear of loss 'this great opportunity will be taken down in 10 minutes'.
Frantically, you scan the page for some assurance that buying this product is the right decision for you to make. But the more you look, the more you see hype and other 'buy NOW' high pressure tactics. And just like the desperate sales clerk in our real-world example, most customers will feel uncomfortable and leave.
The other extreme is to have an info-only site that whets your appetite - even makes you crave and beg for the product - then gives you no outlet where you can make a purchase. There are actually people who provide great info sites where they also HOPE to sell, but because they don't want to appear too pushy, they provide no outlet or one that's vague and difficult to navigate.
The Best of Both Worlds
I think by now you can surmise that you'll stand the best chance of success making money online if you provide both great information AND a quick, clear way for people to acquire your product.
If you can provide great content on your site along with links to your sales page, you are most of the way there. But remember, even when you provide great content and a smooth sales process, the majority of your first-time visitors won't buy. They'll want to 'think' about it; just like you in a real-world buying decision.
This is where a good auto responder follow-up series wins the day. With this series, you will have multiple contacts with your audience; this means repeated chances to educate, build a relationship, gain trust, and eventually SELL!
Hard Selling is Hard!
You won't make any money if you hard sell. You also won't make any money if you don't sell. So make it easy on yourself and your web visitors:
  • Give them quality information first
  • Give them a smooth, easy buying process
  • Follow-up. Most people won't buy on the first visit
It might take a little time to get this going. But as one of my mentors used to tell me, "The long way is the short way, and the short way is the long way."
In other words, take the time up front to educate, build relationships and trust. In the long run, you'll have loyal customers recommending you and your product to their friends.

Getting Started in Affiliate Marketing

The truth is, earning a part time income online has become very popular in recent years because of the kind of earning potential it has. But what's sad is that many when you first get started in affiliate marketing, you might not experience the success that many people have seemingly gotten online.
And that's really very common actually because while a handful of people succeed, a large number of people actually fail to make even a single dime online.
Over the years, I've realised that the most important factor to earning massive online income is to first get started in affiliate marketing the correct way. And the reason why so many people fail is because they get started in affiliate marketing the wrong way.
And here are some things you must take note of in order to get started in affiliate marketing the right way.
Choose The Right Product
The truth is, there are many products out there that don't sell well because there is either no demand for it or it is poorly created. And that means if you choose the wrong product, that's going to affect your earnings.
Surf around the web for reviews of the products and see if they are good. At the same time, you'll also get to know if that product has a good demand.
Once you found a good product to promote, move on to the next tip.
Start Driving Traffic
Concentrate on driving traffic to that product through your affiliate link. Don't think about anything else like how the sales copy is like and all.
If your earlier research has revealed to you that it's a profitable and great product, then the product will sell itself. You just have to focus on getting customers.
Also, don't keep hopping around. Don't start driving traffic to another product. Just stick to one and keep driving traffic.
When you focus on one product, you'll make sales. Hop around and you won't. That's one of the most important things when you get started in affiliate marketing.
Replicate This Process
Once you get the hang of getting sales by driving traffic and getting sales, you should realize that your next product gets easier because you know exactly what to do to get affiliate sales.
That's when you start to replicate what you just did, and get more streams of income for yourself.
And before I end, let me say this.
When you get started in affiliate marketing, don't just stick to the same old methods. Because earning methods always change online, it's necessary you educate yourself on the newest methods of affiliate marketing to keep yourself up to date so you won't get stuck not making money.  The internet is huge, so you have room to expand.  Keep an open mind and learn as much as you can.  Click on my name for a great place to start.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"

Tares Among The Wheat

TARES AMONG THE WHEAT
Matthew 13:25, "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."
MATTHEW 13:24-30

Satan has secretly infiltrated the Church with some of his followers for the purpose of hindering the influence of the Church. This has been a more effective strategy than direct opposition.

These tares that are spoken of refer to the Old World variety of darnel, which is poisonous. Virtually all grains are almost indistinguishable from tares when they send up the first blade from the ground. By the time the tares become distinguishable, they are so well rooted that, if growing in close proximity to a productive grain, uprooting the tares would also mean uprooting the productive grain. Therefore, verse 30 admonishes us to let both grow together until the harvest. The grains of the tares are long and black in contrast to the wheat, and are easily recognizable at harvest time. Many will profess Christianity, but "by their fruits ye shall know them."

There will be those who are deceived and unaware that they are not born again, who will remain among the Church. Jesus warns us against trying to root them out especially since it is not always possible to discern other people's hearts. In an effort to destroy these tares, we might offend one of Christ's "little ones" and cause his or her profession of faith to waver.

It is important, though, for our own personal benefit that we be aware that the children of the Wicked One are placed among the true believers. Our best defense is to preach the Word of God without watering it down. False brethren will not endure sound doctrine. They leave when the Word, which is sharper than any two-edged sword, begins to expose the thoughts and intents of the heart. Stick to the Word!

How to Create Emails That Get Read

Writing emails and sending them to your list is an excellent way to drive traffic to your website or blog and build a healthy income online. In order for either one of those to happen, your subscribers have to open and read your emails. This is why it's important that you never send junk to your list. If they receive a few low quality, low value emails from you, it's not likely that they will open future emails.
So, let's look at a few quick and easy tips on how to write emails that get opened, read and will keep your subscribers happy and active.
1st - Decide on a format for your emails
Usually, there are two options for formatting the text of your emails, HTML and plain text. If you can only choose one, go with plain text. Everyone can receive plain text. Even if they have their setting set to HTML, it will convert to plain text. You don't want your messages getting filtered out because a readers email service doesn't support HTML or your reader doesn't like HTML. If you insist on using a HTML format, be sure to set plain text as an alternative.
Next thing to consider is line formatting.
Keep the lines in your emails at 65 characters or below. Many email providers only permit 65 characters per line. When you exceed 65, your text will display on the next line. This may not seem like a big issues, but it will make the appearance of your emails look sloppy and amateurish. You want to make every effort to show and prove to your readers that you are an expert in your niche.
2nd- The Subject line
People receive tons of emails per day. In fact, I'm sure you do too. People don't read all of them, there is not enough time in the day. They usually just quickly scan subject lines and open those from familiar senders or with subject lines that capture and lead their attention.
Write your subject lines so that they stand out.
Your subject line should be compelling enough to capture and lead your reader's attention so they will open your email, while at the same time accurately describing the contents of the message. Steer clear of spam words in your subject lines as most email providers will route your message to the spam box.
Your readers want whats going to benefit them, teach them something, make them money, or save them time. It's a good practice to use the readers name in the emails address because it adds a personal touch.
There's lots of information out here for writing emails.  Carefully weigh them before spending a bunch of money.  For detailed instructions and training click in my name.  "Enjoy Your Coffee"
