Dear subscribers,

Welcome again to a new edition of "SmartPromotion
Newsletter". Good to have you here again.

You may have heard about the new Ebook, that I created
with Tom Hua, from the "EbookWholeSaler Club".

The Ebook (in .exe format) is called "Ebook Magic"... and
the good news is that it's 100% free -PLUS you can brand
the book with your own info.

That's right. You can have a link to your own web site,
or business, on every page of the Ebook.

You can give the branded copy away to your visitors,
cliënts or subscribers, and when the Ebook gets
spread around, YOUR info will be seen.

PLUS... if you are a member of Tom Hua's "Ebook
WholeSaler Club", you can also insert your affiliate
link in the Ebook... and earn money every month
when someone signs up via your link...

... and all this is free!

"12 Steps to Creating a Business Online"

"E-commerce"

A word pervading our society, making headlines around
the world, and causing the stock market to rise and fall
with startling ease.

It seems every business news story centers on some
technology company’s "DOT-com" or "DOT-bomb"!

With all the positive and negative hoopla, business
owners of any size company can throw up their hands
and feel the "E" world has left them behind.

Every business owner, salesperson, or professional
asked one of two questions in the past year, either "Am
I using e-commerce correctly?" or "How do I effectively
get involved in e-commerce?"

You can buy hundreds of books and pay thousands
in consulting fees to analyze and debate the answer
to the first question.

To answer to the second question just follow these
12 steps.

Step 1 - Buy a domain name (your own DOT-com). Go to
www.NetworkSolutions.com and research names.
Can a customer easily spell and remember it?

Step 2 - Write down your online goals and prepare a
time and money budget.

How soon do you want your e-commerce site up
and running?

How much will you spend?

How many hours will you devote to the site and when?

Step 3 - Surf the web to find other sites you like and
dislike. Learn from others’ successes and mistakes
by taking the best of what their sites offer and adapting
it for your own use.

Step 4 - Design your site on paper. Define elements,
look, feel, colors etc.

Step 5 - Hire a professional to set up the graphics
and navigation, but with the intention of you or your
staff maintaining the site’s day to day operations,
communication and updates.

Step 6 - Invest in a digital camera and web publishing
software such as Microsoft Front Page or Adobe
Acrobat to keep up with the site’s maintenance.

Step 7 - Maintain, change, and update your site at
least once a month. (The one exception to this rule
are those one-page, sales letter websites. Once you
have one of those that performs well and makes
sales, don't change it!!)

Step 8 - Promote your site at every opportunity. Tell
people about it. Put your web address on your
business cards and in all your ads. Some companies
even advertise their web address when they put you
on hold on the telephone.

Step 9 - Give people a self-serving reason to visit your
site. Coupon savings, discounts, special incentives, free
information, and free newsletters represent excellent
enticements for attracting visitors to your site.

Step 10 - Concentrate on obtaining an email address
from every customer and potential customer.

Obtain permission to send periodic, value-added
malings to your database.

Use a list server to organize and maintain your
mailing list.

Step 11 - Always look for and use the simplest
solution or option.

Whether adding a shopping cart, database or other
option to your e-commerce operation, seek out and
use the simplest answer for your needs.

Step 12 - Become educated and stay current in
the world of e-commerce.

Learn the marketing and sales techniques of the
online world.

Jim Edward's simple, video-based training system
teaches you step-by-step how to make real money
online... You can start with a few bucks and a good
idea to make lots of money online! I did, and Jim will
teach you how -no matter what product you sell...
