If you not already have an account there already – its time to get one. Why?

It doesn’t matter if you been a Internet marketer for a long time or just a beginner. IM Faceplate is a great place to interact with other internet marketers.

I would like to give you some tips and some warnings before you set up your new account

You will notice that many will write “on your face” and directly urge you to sign up under there program. This is something you should avoid when you use Faceplate. Why?

As you already know from my earlier posts Internet marketing and connecting with people is that you build up trust, give valuable information and solutions to your business connections.

Sending affiliate links upfront to people you don’t know is not a good way of doing that. Just turn to yourself. How do you react if someone you don’t know at your first contact you urge you to join his/hers program? It is very easy to press the “Delete” button. And that´s just what is going to happen if your using Faceplate that way.

Instead – build yourself a name at this Forum, be a thrust worthy person that have information and valuable tips. People will turn to you and also refer to you. Use the opportunity to get people to know you by present a picture of you. Use your name in the username section. This is not the right place to put a funny picture or (one of your dogs, cats or kids). This is about Branding YOU…. Don’t use a “fake” name.

Write good articles, publish them in your profile. You can of course use the articles you already written. Your YouTube videos is a great way of presenting yourself. Connect your blog, Facebook, twitter, give people as many options as possible to connect to you.

Connect to other internet marketers present your self and give people your story. Use the “Groups” and “Discussions” to further brand yourself

Use the Spotlight and “Shout” regularly! As you see there is a lot of tips and tricks you can use in this new community.

It is really a Great “Plate” to meet new marketers. Done right you can grow and benefit as an Internet marketer from this tool.

If you are a new internet marketer – feel free to use my training here to learn how to write articles, create YouTube videos and other tools that is vital in developing as an internet marketer

Connect to IM Faceplate if you are not already have an account already

You need the right tools to get results in any serious business. What is the next step after you have your lead capture system up and running and your email serie done? Yes Traffic to your site, tons of traffic. It’s very easy to disappear in this jungle of pages and the endless flood of all ads.

Getting a lot of traffic to your site has a lot to do with where you are advertising, what you are advertising and How you are advertising. Safelists is very cost effective, even a free way of getting traffic. They are easy to use and they great results, if you know how to use them.

Using Safelists correctly makes all the difference. They are very effective advertising tools if done right and very time consuming, if done wrong.

What exactly is a Safelist?

A Safelist is a membership site which allows members to exchange email ads with one another. This means that you will be able to email a certain amount of members, send your advertisement to them (spam free).

Why is that? All members have to agree that they will receive emails from one and other. (If Pro member less or non received)

The most common safelists are Credit Based Safelists. I recommend you to use only credit based. A credit based safelist is pretty much like a Traffic Exchange in the way they deliver traffic to your website. Everytime you visit another members site you are awarded with credits after a certain amount of time viewing that page. In a safelist you open an email and in TE’s you click next otherwise same. You use those credits to send your own emails and show your pages.

Most Safelists allow you to join free, with limitations. Free members might only be able to send email to some of the members once a week. Paid members are allowed to post a few times/day, every day or every other day and to many more members.

You’ll get a lot more traffic with a paid membership and other advantages. If you can afford to upgrade do so. The best deal is often when you sign up (The OTO) onetime offer… grab that if possible. The Viral Listbuilders in particular have very good and quite cheap onetime fee. You can often email 3-4000 ppl every 3 days for life with very good results.

What kind of people are using Safelists?

@ People who are promoting a home business opportunity, mlm. These people use safelists to promote their affiliate programs.

@ People who are promoting other marketing services – ebooks, safelists and other tools that an Internet marketer need.

Targeting thess groups with tools or services that can help them to get more traffic will give you much better results then direct selling Cars, hot dogs, etc. Promoting something that other Internet marketers are interested of. Often free e-books, memberships are working great.

What tools do you need to use a Safelist Effective?

Two email addresses, only to be used for your safelists. A contact email address and a list email address. Many safelist owners recommend gmail.

You need emails to send. It takes practice to learn how to write emails but it is one of the most important Internet marketing skills that you can develop. The Most Important is the Headline.

You can get started by reading what other people write in there emails. Do any of these Headlines, emails catch your eye? What makes these headlines, emails stand out from all the others?

If you see something you like – take notes and save it. Your notes will help you come up with new and better ideas. Tweak what others do, make it your own. Remember – most of the members are only visiting your site to get their credits. But take every chance you get to make yourself stand out from the crowd, brand you. This will give you better results.

You can send your ads as html emails in many Safelists. Usually this is for upgraded members. “A picture says more than a thousand words”. Use a picture of your product, a banner, logo or best of all, a picture of yourself.

And last Thing you need is a schedule and organisation. When to send to what list. Every day lists. Headlines and emails stored in folders.

What is the difference between Safelist and Viral Listbuilders?

The biggest difference between Safelists and the Viral list builders is how many people you can contact. You build a downline (often 10 levels) of referrals under you in many Viral Listbuilders. You can send your ads to the whole downline, this can grow fast when your downline are referring new members to the program

It is a lot of work to refer new members, but you are not limited to just emailing the people in your downline. Usually you can use the credits you earn from reading emails to contact additional members. You can also purchase an upgraded membership which gives you an automatic list of people to which you can send your ads. You can also buy credits.

If your not using Safelists then it is time to start – your traffic will increase a lot, your list will grow and you will make more money. If You are using Safelists the way they are supposed to be used of course.

A short repetition:

1. You have your lead capture system up and running = Autoresponder, own hosted squeeze/splash pages, thank you page and confirm page,
tracking. The 3 Musketers.

2. You have your email serie in your Autoresponder

3. You have 2 new gmail accounts only for safelists.

4. Now you start sending traffic through Safelists… Using a Squeeze or a Splash page and Headlines that works.

5. Take some of the OTO’s and click some emails to get credits.

6. Make a schedule, when to send to what list. This is my schedule and recommended LISTS Use this if you want or do your own schedule. ps you can also use This: http://viralmailprofits.com/

7. Now you get Results… YOUR LIST GROW BIGGER and BIGGER. Your Brand as well and the most important you need a bigger wallet.

Can starting an Internet based home business be your insurance for the future?

People everywhere in the world are affected by the Recession that we seen the last year.
Are you scared about your future financial situation? Afraid of losing you work? Afraid of getting sick?
Maybe you already lost your work… we are all affected by this crash one way or the other.

So how should you deal with it? Anxieties over our finance and how to cope with daily
life is something that concerns us all.

Is this the right time to build up an Internet based home business of your own? Wont it be a great risk?
`
Of course if we start something we never has done before it is a risk – to do something new
we have to try something we never done before! But the risk is mostly lying in ourself -
if we are willing to work hard – put in time and effort we will succeed.

Look at the positive sides – would it not be great to be able to work from home – be able
to spend more time with your family – work when and where You want?

If you start now to build up something of your own – an internet based home business – then
you will not depend on someone else – You do not need to worry about losing your work. To
start your own business will be your insurance for the future.

To start your internet based home business you will need a Online strategy to follow

Here are 3 valuable and important ways to accelerate your work when you start.

1. Brand your name. In every step of your internet based home business you want to build up
trust to your customers. When they see your name you want them to know that you are a
person that they can rely on – get help from. Do this by writing articles,doing press releases and
videos. You can submit your articles at different Article Directories and your videos on You Tube.
Traffic Geyser is also a great tool for Videos. All this will help you to build up your name and
your credibility of being a good marketer.

2. When you write – do relevant articles – it is important that your articles have value.
You want to give your customers the answers they need. You want to give them a solution to
their problems. If you have a schedule and provide articles, press releases, and
videos on regular basis, people will start to see you as an expert in your area/niche.
The more people read about your expertise, the more you improve your chances of people
coming to you to buy your products and services.

3. Listen to your customers. Give them support. When a customer tells you an idea, instead of thinking of
reasons that wont work, listen with an open mind. It also encourages people to talk to you.
When you are a non-critical sounding person, people like that. Many people complain – and
they will. Instead of brushing them of – try to listen and you can reveal their real
concerns. Being open minded makes your customer feel relaxed and that you take them seriously
will increase the respect for you. Eventually this can lead to a sale.

Maybe one of your goals with starting a Internet home business is to spend more time with your family – friends and/or your hobby.

Of course it will take time to start an Internet home Business – But do you need to spend hour after hour in front of your computer?

When you´re your own Boss No one beside yourself will decide how much time you spend at work. Surely you don´t want to spend more time then necessary. How much time do you need to spend to be successful?

What are the secrets behind being effective and productive in Internet home Business?

Surprisingly many people have not decided What they want to accomplish with their Internet home Business, and many don’t have a daily schedule or clear goals.

This is something you should spend time on. Think it through, put it in context. It will be much easier When you have this sorted out. A Clear Goal, 100% focus will help you make the progress you deserve.

You need to develop a realistic and effective schedule to be able to get more and better results in less time.

Visualize what you want and will accomplish with your internet Business by writing down your goal on paper. Make up a Step by step schedule.

Take time to learn the best techniques and how to use the best tools. Then – Take Action. You need to practice what you have learned. You will discover how you progress by taking action and where you can save time in different tasks.

Being realistic in your schedule means that you have to think through how much time you can spend on your Internet home Business. If you have a full-time job, it’s not practical to assume that you can spend all night working with your internet business too.

Write down a “What to do” list and write down how much every task will take. Decide how much you can spend on every moment. And then do at least one thing on your list everyday.

Track your results, what ad works, what kind of advertising works best, time wise and money wise?
Don’t expect different results when doing the same things day out and day in… To be effective you need to track and measure your work.

Things that don’t work, drop them and use things that works better… Cost/subscriber.

This will make you much more effective and productive when you are at your computer. You will notice the difference and see that it is not the time on internet you spend that makes you successful – It is how effective and what you produce that makes your success.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

From The Desk Of: StefanBergs.com Using article marketing is a effective way to drive traffic to your site.

This Article is about, how you can use Article Directories and how to use them right. When you are ready with your article and checked spelling and grammar it is time to publish your article. Where is the best place to publish your article?

To get maximum of people to read your articles you have to submit them to different Article Directory sites.

You can make a long list of different Articles Directories that you can use. A few examples are: Ezine article.com,
Article Dashboard, Article Alley and Go Articles. The best way to find them is on Google, search for Article Directories.

Here is what to do;

1. Start setting up an account in the Directories you want to submit your article.

2. Post your articles. Read through the guidelines to get your article approved. URL:s
are mostly only approved in the “resource box”.
Adjust your article if needed – that will save you a lot of time – sometimes it takes up to a week to
get your article approved. – Take your time and do it right from the beginning.

3. You are allowed to have a “Resourcebox” – that is your Pitch – where you can advertise yourself.
It is important to make it look professional. The purpose of this box is to get people to click on your
links, because this is the only way to get traffic to your website or blog.

4. Choose the proper category for your article – use one that reflects your article best. Then it will be
targeted for the right people. If you put it in wrong category your article may not be approved.

5. Take time to find keywords. Of course you already chosed your main keyword or frase for your article – now
you need tags or keywords that are related to the main keyword you use in the article. Fill out the “tagline”.
This will make sure that your article show up when people search for your topic, in the Article Directories, on your blog and other places.

Besides Article Directories you can alse post your article on blogs and in different forums. Social bookmarking is a great place. You may need to shorten your article or do a teaser with a link in this sites.

Last and most important is of course your own website and blog. This will increase vistitors to your site and help you get
a higher ranking in the search engines. Your URL;s should always link back to your site.

If you deliver quality in article marketing you will get customers that rely on your expertise and they are much more likely
to buy something from you.

From The Desk Of http://stefanbergs.com Many people, including me, don’t have English as a their mother tongue. Maybe are you one of us or maybe you have English as your mother tongue, but your not feeling confident enough about writing articles.?

What is the solutions? How is it possible to be successful in article writing even with the competition from many people who has English as their mother tongue? This article will help you to develop confidence in this area.

In article marketing and writing articles the experts often say; “- Submit one article a day. Don´t spend to much time on the article. Limit the time to 30-60 minutes per article”

“- Wow! How is that possible – my mother tongue is Swedish (read; your language)!
“- Wow! I’m not a good writer!”
Don´t be discouraged even if it takes longer time in the beginning to write an article.

To be successful in article writing and marketing depends more on what you write about, how you write. Try to develop your own style. Write about something that brings value to people and help them solve a specific problem. The Best Results will come when you provide a subject that interests people.

Can You write in a way that makes you stand out from the crowd?
Try to answer and solve peoples questions!

You can also provide the tools and Techniques they need to progress and move forward and grow their business and life.

If you say; “- Yes I do – I can help people” – then you will notice that the language will be in subjection to what you have to offer!

If you have English as your second language or not being the best writer (who is?) you know of all the anxieties other people
are going through. Make that an advantage. You may express yourself simple, easy to follow – not using words that are to complicated. All This could attract people. Write and explain complicated things simple is always the best.

The only way to progress in writing articles in English – is too writing articles in English!
Read articles on the topic you want to write about. When you get more experienced in article marketing and you done article writing to your daily routine. They won´t take you more then 30-60 min to write.

After 30-60 minutes put the article aside. Let it rest until next day. Then begin to adjust it to be proper in sentences and in spelling.

If you try to be one step ahead, it won´t be a problem to spend some extra time on your articles. You will still be able to submit a article per day.

Do you know how to build your list? Why do so many fail in this area?
Maybe you say: “I already build my list – I´m in a Affiliate Program and I build my list there!”
Learn Why this is not a best option and how to do it right.

Different tools in business is essential – Today we are going to learn why building your Business lists is so important

Do you remember “the 3 Musketeers”?

1.Hosting – Build your own sites exactly as You want them

2.Tracking – By tracking you get better result and know where to advertise

3.Autoresponder – How to continually keep in contact with your customers.

All of these is needed to help you grow in your business and glue things together. But The Autoresponder will also help you build your own business lists.

Let us start with – How to build your own list? How important is it to build your list? The list IS your business.

Why do I stress this? Here is Why…Many people say as I wrote earlier:

“- I´m building my list. I´m in a Affiliate program and I build my business list there.”

But do you really build your Own list then? By Promoting other peoples products, MLMs then you don´t build your own list. You are building Their list and their members.
What happens if the MLM, company you promote disappears or You want to change focus, start your own business?
Then you´ll have to start all over again. You have nothing, the members you sponsored to that company stays with that company – it is their members not yours.
Most of your work is in vain.

Instead you should Build Your List First and promote You. Then you always have Your Business. Nobody can take your Contact List from you.
So to prevent you from making this mistake – it´s time to start to build your own business lists.

To start your own list you need a Autoresponder. Manually sending email to your increasing customers is time consuming and not very effective.It will provide you with a “opt-in form”.
You can build lists for different projects. You can Broadcast your messeges to all your lists with one click. You can design your emails as newsletters etc…
As you can see – it´s a great idea to get a Autoresponder right now if you not already have one.
One good Autoresponder that works and really deliver your emails is Aweber – If you have one you´re satisfied with – keep on using it.

Here is the most important reasons why you should have a Autoresponder;

1. It takes care of your Customers.
2. Helps you to Avoid spam complains.
3. Save time and automate your business. You can’t send out 1000s of emails every week manually.

Building your list and having a Autoresponder will make a big difference for you in your business and you will notice the results.
But now You need a Great email series. You also want your costumers to come back.

That is what we´re going to discuss in the coming articles.

From The Desk of Stefan-Berg-Online-Entrepreneur.com … Is Free really FREE? Is Free Always The Best?
Why pay for Pro Tools when things are free?

When it comes down to success in business you really have to decide if you want your own Business or if you want to trade your time for money (read employee). If you´re looking for your Own Business what are you prepared to do make your business profitable?

All begins in your mind. You have to decide, where to focus. Where should you spend your time, What kind of tools do you need, is everything free?

We´re going to discuss is Free always the best, if you want to progress in your business?

I doesn’t matter if you want an offline or online Business… you have to do some investments. You can´t avoid it. If you believe in your idea and you have a business plan, GREAT, don´t hesitate. The Money you’ll put in is worth it.

You can´t say, I don´t need to invest in my business – I can do it for free.
There is No Options. From Day 1 you need certain tools and services.

Let us Illustrate it:

Your car needs to be fixed. It´s broken – and you really need it!
You have 2 choices:

1. You do it yourself – you may have to buy a book, search on the internet and find the instructions. It says: grab that tool and that spare part to make it work – This is not free. It takes time and money

2. Pay someone who do it for you.

In both examples you need knowledge, the right tools and money!
If you did it yourself you saved a few bucks – but instead –
how much time did you spend, Was it free?

Same goes in your business. If you want your Business vehicle to Run Smoothly. Either you pay someone for the things you need that you don´t have enough knowledge about or you start to learn yourself – by getting the right tools – in both ways you have to invest..

One thing you learn while you progress is that it actually saves you both money and time to invest in the Right tools
So what kind of Pro tools do you need in a Online Business? Where do you start?
You need 3 Things. We can refer to them as “The 3 Musketeers“ These are real Pro tools.

1. Autoresponder – AWeber – the most effective way to keep in contact with your customers

2. Hosting – Not an option – the most essential tool in your Online Freelance Work

3. Tracking – will help you to see where you should put your effort in advertising and to keep up to date with where you get your best results.

“The three Musketeers” are not free – but they will give you results! The Value in having these Tools are priceless in your business to grow. Is free always the best?

No, YOU can only get results if you are willing to invest money and time in your business.

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker (1909 – 2005)

When I woke Up this morning I felt frustrated. This is not going to work! I give up! What had happened? What had changed since yesterday?

The answer is nothing – except my Mindset! That is what we´re going to discuss today and learn how our mindset is one of the best free web master tool and how you can use it for success in your business.

Do you master it – Your mindset? Many times the Mindset is underestimated – if we have negative thoughts about ourselves and what we do we will never succeed.

How can you change your mindset? Where do you start? The famous Marketer Stephen Pierce said in a live seminar: “- I decided to shout; Cancel! or Stop! every time negative thoughts showed up. Many days it felt like shouting Cancel was the only thing I did! Slowly I learned how to change my negative thoughts to positive… After STOP! I started to say – I can do it, I will succeed!” . – And he was right lol

What was his point?
Stop the negative thoughts direct, before they take over your brain! …There is a saying…

“You can´t stop birds from flying over your head – but you
can stop them from building a nest on your head!”

This shows that you have to put in great effort to change your mindset, hard work but It’s possible. To replace your negative thoughts you need something else to ponder over. How should you do that? Take advantage of one of the best free web master tool that really are Free… Your mindset!

Here is 4 main points when it comes to change your attitude:

1. DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE OF YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU DO
Believe in yourself – you deserve to have a good life – you are the one deciding what to do in
your life – life does not decide over you.

2. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET TO “I CAN”
“I Can” is valuable words to you. You need to decide what you want and then Do it! If you really think you can do it –
then you will reach your goal, in all parts of your life

3. SET A LONGTERM GOAL AND DEFINE YOUR WHY!
What is Your “WHY”, what are your motivation for success in your business? You can ask yourself; What is my strongest reason to start a business? This reason will take you further and make you keep going, when things don’t work out the way you wanted or takes longer time then expected. This is Important… think about this for 30 minutes and write it down. Put it up where you can see it. My WHY is: “I want to Work Where ever I’m in the world, with Who I want, when I want and with What I want, never ever work for someone else, or be stuck in a boring work ever again.” Remind yourself of your “Why” every day and especially when negative thoughts comes to your mind.

4. MAKE A EVERYDAY SCHEDULE
Use an everyday schedule – write down what to do everyday. Make at least one thing on your daily schedule. Don´t wait until tomorrow to do what you can do today.

Is this easy? No, but it is possible – and you will notice progress in many different parts of life.

So if you wake up one day, like I did, and think; This is not going to work – Use the best Free web master tool there is. Your mindset!
