Why do 95-97% of people fail in Internet Marketing?
Janet Wilson, CEO of Empowerism, Inc answered this question asked by Doug Gorman, Webmaster and editor at Plug-In Profit Site News. Here’s what Janet had to say…
“Doug, there is only one reason: They quit.
So then the question becomes: Why do they quit? My personal observation is that these 97% display a low tolerance for the kind of obstacles successful entrepreneurs often work through to reach their goals. Sadly, most people are ****ed in by the ridiculous “get rich quick & easy” hype – also known as the lottery mentality, but those of us who have made our dreams come true know that is simply a fantasy. Even when we launched our RSVP and MVP programs, I made it clear that their success depended upon their commitment to continue growing their Empowerism business.
Building an Internet business often requires one to traverse rocky, frustrating, lonely roads, and you won’t see any hyped-up ads or websites exposing that fact. But, the payout - the experience of succeeding at something you wanted so badly you couldn’t sleep at night from thinking about it - is absolutely, positively worth every cut and scrape along the way. Success is primarily a matter of “what is your reason WHY and what are you willing to do for it?”
When someone complains that Empowerism (or any other worthwhile business) “doesn’t work” my response is always, “Empowerism is only the vehicle and it works for anyone who takes driving it seriously. The vehicle cannot control how you drive it, or even IF you drive it. But when you decide to put yourself firmly in the driver’s seat, take the wheel, and drive until you reach your destination, Empowerism is a reliable, sound vehicle. If Empowerism “doesn’t work” then we’ll have to come up with another explanation for the $100,000+ in commissions we send out each month!”
Empowerism, also publisher of Excellence Magazine, is the ideal stepping stone, composed of the tools, training, and motivation, that every person can and should use on the path to fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams and goals.

Leaflet distribution companies
Leaflet distribution or Door-to-door marketing has become an effective medium in which to spend your advertising budget. Leaflet distribution companies are extensively used by top businesses and government departments. Expenditure on leaflet distribution keep rising and over 15 billion leaflets will be distributed annually to UK letterboxes this year.
Direct marketing is attractive to many marketers, because in many cases its positive effect (but not negative results) can be measured directly. For example, if a marketer sends out one million solicitations by mail, and ten thousand customers can be tracked as having responded to the promotion, the marketer can say with some confidence that the campaign led directly to the responses

Extra Income — that would be nice
Extra Income —- that would be nice….
In the mid 50’s, a family could survive on one income. Today,
very few can manage on two. And that won’t be enough in another
few years.
It’s a shaky future. All of us would be wise to have multiple
incomes flowing into our bank accounts.
Prosperous people have always known this. If one income
vanishes, they have others to support them. Ordinary people are
much more vulnerable. If they lose even one of their incomes, it
wipes them out. It could take years to improve this situation
and the rippling affects can be disastrous.
It won’t be long before people will need a portfolio of income
sources - AND from completely different and diversified avenues.
If one source dries up, you will barely feel the bump. You are
sound. You have time to adjust, regroup. You are safe.
Do you have multiple incomes flowing into your bank account at
this time? Are they Linear or Residual? And do you know the
difference?
You have a Linear source if you get paid for every hour you
work. You have a Residual source if you work hard once, and it
releases a steady flow of income for many years. You are
rewarded over and over for that same original effort.
Even doctors and attorneys are not as wealthy as they appear.
They don’t earn residual incomes. They can only see a fixed
number of people per day and they have to be there every day to
generate their single Linear income. They may appear to be
wealthy, but they work the same hours and days that most of us
do. The only difference is their Linear income is higher than
ours.
If you are smart, you will start shifting your income sources
from Linear to Residual and eventually realize the freedom to do
what you want, when and where. This can be accomplished easily,
without a lot of fuss. Start with ONE new residual source this
year. How about right now?
Of course most of us cannot write a book or compose an opera in
order to generate lasting Residual income. But the Internet has
given us the chance of a lifetime. There are many programs not
worth their print, but there are others that will indeed, give
you the Residual income we speak of. The trick here is to
recognize the difference between hype and straight talkin’.
Just as we must first walk before we run - to become a Leader,
we must follow.
The best place to look for an ‘honest’ Residual income is to
find someone you trust and follow him/her. A name that you
recognize, a name that has a substantial following already, a
person who over-delivers on promises. These are the true “gurus”
— and if you’ve been on the Internet for more than a month,
you know who they are.
All of them have programs designed to give you Residual incomes.
Look over what they offer and make your choice. Give it
everything you have in promoting it, and when you have it off
the ground — look for your next Residual source.
Success is a marathon, not a sprint. I did it — so can you.
Esther Smith is editor of “Partners-For-Profit” Newsletter and
copywriter for The Permanent Venture. Get FREE info on your best
source of Residual income today: http:/

7 steps to improved business
Aims: Make sure the promotional product and run are joined to or substantiate well-defined marketing or communications targets. The objectives should not be overly complicated.
Target Audiences: In making an objective, promotional items drives ought be directed to specific audiences. A goal for each audience should be developed.
Messages: Promotional products drives need to impart a preset subject matter to each audience. This subject matter need be clear and concise. No single drive need attempt to convey too many messages. Ordinarily, most serious outcomes are achieved when only one or two key points are emphasised.
Subject: An “umbrella” program theme should be developed. The idea should take into account messages, audiences and the nature of the wares or service.
Originality: Promotional product topics and points must be as original as possible to pique interest.
Usefulness: Promotional products should be practical items that recipients will use again and again. If the item is not used often, it need be attractive or decorative and stay in sight.
Follow-ups: Some of the most effective promotional product programs can result in an improved rate of reply from recipients or permit sales force follow-ups either by phone or in person. In this regard a campaign can become a door opener.
