1. Editors Note.
------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome again to all our new and "old" subscribers.

I have a lot of useful information collected for you last
month, so I hope you don't mind the long read :-)

But before I kick off, I'd like to thank those of you who
participated in my "SmartPromotion Survey".

You can still share your opinion about this E-zine here:

Results can be seen here:

Now, let's start...

This month I'm offering you a chance to win an E-book,
worth 57.00$ in value!

It's called: "Go Beyond Your Wildest Dreams-Power Secrets
To Top Success", and it's written by the guest writer of this
issue, Thomas J. Stevens, from Ultimate Success Tips, Inc.

To find out how you can win Thomas' excellent book, check
below Thomas' article.

**** FREE EBOOK! ****

I just finished a FREE E-book that I created for Jason Potash,
the guy who created the amazing "Ezineannouncer" Tool.

It's called; "The 7 Keys To Creating An Instant E-zine
Subscriber Vacuum" and inside you'll discover some
important tips and links to use when you promote or
publish your E-zine.

Windows users can download the E-book from here:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/ezineannouncer.zip
(The file size is only 228 KB)

Are you a Macintosh user, and prefer a .pdf version?

No problem, you can get it from here:

(The file size is only 55 KB)

**** NEW FEATURE ****

Have you seen my Web Log recently? I just put it up on
the Smart-Web-Promotion web site, and if you already
didn't, make sure to visit the log, because I'm posting
the latest marketing and promotion info and tips there:
http://webpromotion.blogspot.com

**** EXITblaze went crazy! ****

You've probably already heard about ExitBlaze. Bob Bly,
author of "The Idiot's Guide to Direct Marketing," called it
"the hands-down best way to get traffic to your site ever
created. Period."

Exitblaze broke all records! The day after Mark Joyner
mentioned the new traffic building service, all the servers
at Aesop.com crashed, and it took them 3 days to build
the whole infrastructure up again...

... talking about a huge response :-)

ExitBlaze is 100 times more powerful than StartBlaze -you'll
earn traffic each time someone leaves your site. It doesn't
get any easier than this!

And here's an advance heads-up: the folks at Exitblaze are
preparing an ExitBlaze contest (just like the one they had for
StartBlaze) where you can win massive hits and huge prizes
(the grand prize is HUGE!!!)

Sign up for FREE to ExitBlaze now and get things in
place, this will give you a distinct advantage!

4. Guest Article
------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This months article is not about Web Site or Ezine
promotion, like usual, but I'm sure it will help you to make
better decisions in your E-business.

"Don't Act Like An Elephant!"

By Thomas J. Stevens

Strange statement, isn't it?

But listen carefully because it can make the difference
of success and failure in your business and private life.

So, let me explain...

You might know that in India elephants are used for
manual labor. But what to do with them when they are
not working? How to restrain them?

Their handlers came up with the idea to "program" them
while they are still very young - by setting self-imposed
limits into their thinking.

How does it work?

When the elephants are still small, weighing around
150 pounds, they get tied up with a very heavy rope.
All day long, the elephants try to get rid of it, whine,
tug at it and some of them even try to chew it.
But they can't break free.

Finally, the elephants give up and the fight is over.
And now it's getting interesting...

From this moment on, they strongly believe that there is
absolutely no chance to get rid of the rope. They accept
the "fact" that the rope limits them.

And with this imprinted belief in place, their handlers
are able to tie them with extremely small ropes!

And even as adults, weighing 8,000 pounds and more, they
never attempt to break free because they "know" they have
no chance at all!

As you can see, the elephants limits are not real, but
exist only in their mind.

And also we are programmed with built-in-boundaries.
They are also not real but exist only in our minds.

But with these imprinted belief systems, with these
inner boundaries, we are unable...

- to live our lives to the fullest
- to be successful as we could be
- to set and reach higher goals
- to make 10 times more money as we do now
- to build a successful business
- to get the promotion and pay increase
we always dreamed of
- to fulfill our true dreams and desires
- etc.

But it hasn't to stay this way. Our negative belief systems
don't have to limit us for good.

If you *truly* want to become successful and are not kidding
yourself, you *can* change your inner belief system, your
attitude, and break your inner boundaries.

You *always* have the inner strength; the personal power
to change everything in your life for the better. Just try!

So, never give up! Never act like an elephant!

7. Recommended Affiliate Program
------------------------------------------------------------

In this section I give attention to an affiliate program that will
earn you money from your web site or E-zine... at least if you
put enough time in it to promote it of course :-)

This months program is: "ProAutoResponder"

It's a new autoresponder service that I have not seen
anywhere else before.

This follow up system uses sound (or audio) messages
to keep in touch with email prospects, and it looks like an
innovating service.

They have an excellent affiliate program, paying out 45%
of every sale you make, and this 3 levels deep. So, you
better join this one while it's still free! :-)

TIP: Make 3 sales, and you have your own free audio email
autoresponder! It's possibly going to be the marketing tool
for the future!

You can have a closer look at it here:

8. Q & A (Readers help readers.)
------------------------------------------------------------

Q: " Dirk, can you give me a little advise please? I own two
domains and would like to have them hosted. Please advise
the best place. I know very little about cgi or MySQL so will be
needing a little help at first. Thanks for your input all these
months while I have been getting my feet wet . It is appreciated.
Sincerely, Amy (dba A E Tiller)"

A: Dear Amy,

I'm glad to hear that I could help you with my info! Personally,
I use the Bizland service to host my sites. Here are my sites,
and they are all hosted with Bizland:

- http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com
- http://www.aaasoftware-ezine.com
- http://www.smart-web-promotion.com

Bizland is a great place to start. For only 6.95$ a month you
get 70 MB web space -without any ad banners or pop up
windows, that's enough for most of us.

Once you have your account set up, you will receive a
BizLand Web Domain name with your company name,
and a personalized business e-mail.

If you already have your own domain name, Bizland will
redirect it for you for FREE.
