That JV software is so cool. How easy is it to use by a programming illiterate person? I know just enough html to get by with. I also have a blog which I just started using wordpress. I am adding you to my site with a link to your site. Have a safe and fun trip to Hawaii. Merry Christmas David Armbruster Hi Robert,

And when you're reading it aloud to promote as an affiliate, you aren't just wasting time "learning" ... you've actually producing a deliverable. <blockquote> I'm convinced some of them think you are writing them personally, even if your message is something simple like "Did you get started yet?

I've been kind of heavy with the info-packed e-mails lately... and I don't want my customer list to get too trained to getting a lot of free info with no sales pitch.

I don't know if that would work, but I have heard of copying classic sales letters by hand, which is supposed to help learn copywriting.

I don't know if that would work, but I have heard of copying classic sales letters by hand, which is supposed to help learn copywriting. Speaking of followup emails, when you send ones with useful info related to the item that was purchased, with nothing offered for sale in the email, it really shocks some customers (in a good way). I'm convinced some of them think you are writing them personally, even if your message is something simple like "Did you get started yet? Do you have any questions about [product]?"

That's a problem I had in my early years of internet marketing... if I went for longer than a day working on my business, I could easily let it go for a week... and then I could easily let it go for up to 4 months without any progress.

I love the Daily Seminar.
1) Forces me to think about my Business Every Day
2) Valuable insights in each lesson
3) Points to ponder for changes and improvements
4) Way more

Thanks Dale!
