BEWARE – There's a REASON why it costs ONLY $1.99

BewareMorning!

I just received the following email, addressed to my Virtual Coach forums.

I just paid my $1.99 to join twitter and was given a link with the user name twitter and password profits. The link did not work. I would like to know what to expect. Will I receive something in the mail? Will I receive something by email? How will I be able to login? I tried to login on this home page and that did not work either. Please advise.

Thank you,

This is really really very sad….so I was moved to write this post. Read more

Compel new customers by helping them gain prestige

Morning!

Ever want more customers?

Ever want more of those customers to recommend you to OTHER customers?

Okay, true, that’s like saying, ever want to grow your business?

Here’s one nifty way to do so….

Tell a story to your customers that SHOW them what they will gain with xyz – saving money, getting chicks (or he-wenches), being admired, gaining prestige etc.etc.

Let’s say, for example, that your product is selling dog leashes online.  Well now, you can buy dog leashes at the dollar store…so just why should someone spend money on yours? Read more

10 Fun Ways to Learn From Youtube

How To Covertly Find Things For Free Online

Free!Ever want to find things for free online?

‘course you have!  Everyone has!  Every logical, sane human bean likes saving their money instead of casting it blindly to the winds of fortune, right?

(wow, what a tremendous sentence the above was…I wonder how it ranks on the Headline Analyzer?  Let’s go see! 


"Every logical sane human bean likes saving their money instead of casting it blindly to the winds of fortune right"

Your Headline’s EMV Score:

45.00%

This score indicates that your headline has a total of 45.00% Emotional Marketing Value (EMV) Words. To put that in perspective, the English language contains approximately 20% EMV words.

And for comparison, most professional copywriters’ headlines will have 30%-40% EMV Words in their headlines, while the most gifted copywriters will have 50%-75% EMV words in headlines.


Hey, I’m getting the hang of this!  

But I digress.  :)


Anywhos!  Besides finding things for free, that excitement for which you have been craving since the Dawn of Non-spill Coffee Cups, you ALSO cannot bear NOT to write sentences with double-negatives, right?  Admit it!  C’mon, you HAVE to…

Ooops, hang on, got carried away AGAIN!

One more time! 

Besides finding things for free, that excitement for which you have been craving since the Dawn of Non-spill Coffee Cups, you ALSO yearn to share your knowledge with other deserving individuals as well, right?

I know, I know, you’re right now thinking:

Jeepers Barbara, the only thing more solidly correct is the fact I’ve read just about halfway down the page and STILL have yet not a clue as to where you’re going!

Well, yeah, but hey, admit it – you did giggle at least once.  Right? :)

Allow me now to direct you to:

How to Get Things For Free Online!

Yes, that is my Squidoo page that I built last week!  Woohoo!  And then I got comments about it over at me forums at

Ain’t it just peachy grand-like?

Seriously, however….I’ve been teaching people how to find things online now since the late 1990s, and it occured to me….that’s a gift I have.  Why not share it?

Which brings me to the point of this post.

You probably have superb skills that nobody else possesses, right?  Why not share them at Squidoo?  I’ve discovered he audience there is completely different than your typical IM crowd – very helpful, very "tell me everything and don’t assume I know what you do etc.", etc. 

And because your lenses link to your lensmaster profile, you can also start to drive traffic BACK to your flagship sites….because the folks on Squidoo probably aren’t aware of you as it stands NOW.

Why not change that for the better?

Your bottom line will thank you for it!  Mine….certainly is.

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling
