Why Publish an eZine?

On the Internet, it is very possible to make money
without selling any product. One way of doing so is
through starting your own eZine, also known as an
electronic newsletter.

Visit mine, Rim Digest eZine at http://www.rimdigest.com
which will celebrate TEN YEARS with me as its editor
on February 10, 2010!

rim

In a nutshell, you send out your eZine issues
on a periodical basis to your subscribers.

The good part is that you have flexibility in automating
the process of sending out your eZine issues for you
or manually sending them on a periodical basis.

I send Rim Digest eZine out on Thursdays and have
only missed having TWO issues go out on time!

This is 52 weeks a year for almost ten years.

As an eZine publisher, not only can you easily achieve
the benefits a conventional newsletter publisher enjoys
without having to chop down several trees in the process,
you can easily and conveniently spread your marketing
influence and expertise to your base of subscribers
from the convenience of your computer.

In other words, you do not have to invest in expensive
printing equipment, a brick and mortar business, and hiring
staff just to run your own newsletter publication, resulting
in a lot of time, money and effort saved.

Basically, all you need to start your own eZine are
an auto responder and a list of people interested in
your information, knowledge, advice, tips and other
content that you provide in your eZine.

All in all, if you do not have your own product
or products to sell, publishing your own online
newsletter can be one of the wisest decisions
you will ever make, given the benefits of
impressive marketing power and influence it
can offer to you.

I love doing my eZine and some of my subcribers
are like my other family! Some of them have been
with me the entire time I have published!

I have been super busy this week, spent from 6 to 8 hours per day from Monday to Sunday to get almost 500 out of print and classic movies from my retiring store onto eBay! It is a lot of work but I need to move them and they are selling quite well so it is worth it.

I have over 500 classic or hard to find videos and DVDs, http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ezinejantd and those on http://www.downmemorylanetreasures.com ship FREE to the USA

Finding The Right Home Business Model

Finding the right home business model on the Internet
may or may not be a lot of work. There is no surefire
way to make money, but that doesn’t mean people will
stop trying.

People are finding ways to experiment with new
strategies and are trying to find business models that
actually work for what they need.

The answer is really a no-brainer : If it
doesn’t work, fix it. If your business model is not
working for you, change it. If you are not seeing the
profits you should from your current model, it is time
to change things.

Many businesses have gone through this sort of
change. With more and more people conducting
business over the Internet and more people using
mainstream media, it is only smart to change what no
longer works.

If the tires on your car won’t get you to where you
need to go, then it is obvious that they should
be changed.

Slow sales and slower uptake of online offerings have
forced many companies to focus on their core
competencies.

Companies are now aggressively marketing their services
to companies who need streaming media. Now many businesses
have taken their focus off of hard advertising and are
focusing on media advertising.

They were forced to change their business models or
could have suffered greatly, some even risking
going out of business.

It is very important to have a good business model set
up when going into business for yourself. Learn from
the biggest and most profitable companies.

The Evolution of Home Based Business Models


The development of business models has a brief
history. The oldest, most basic business model is the
shopkeeper model.

This involves setting up a store in a location where
customers are likely to be and displaying your
product or service for all the passer-bys to see.

Here is mine, Jan’s Country Discout Store, that I
am trying to sell out:

http://tallenta.my-ehost.com/country_store.php

Over the years, business models have evolved,
changed and become more sophisticated.

The bait and hook business model was introduced in the
early 20th century. This model involved offering a
basic service for a low cost, often at a loss.

This part is the bait. Then by charging compensatory
recurring amounts for refills or other products or
services, this is the hook.

Examples are the razor, which is the bait, and blades,
which are the hook, cell phones that are the bait and
the service charges and airtime that are the hook.

In the 1950’s new business models came from some of
today’s well-known companies like McDonald’s and
Toyota.

In the 1960’s, Wal-Mart was the innovator and the
1970’s saw new business models from FedEx, Toys R Us,
the 1980’s pushed Blockbuster, Home Depot and many
computer companies to the forefront with their
innovative business models.

In turn, many dot-coms suffered because of their
poorly thought out business models.

Today’s business models depend on how the technology
available is used. Entrepreneurs on the Internet have
also created new models that depend on the emergent of
technology.

Using computer technology, a business has the
advantage of reaching a large amount of customers with
a minimal cost.

Here are MY online stores:

http://www.downmemorylanetreasures.com/

with Tangible items like memorablilia, hard to find and
out of print movies, Barbies and other collector dolls, etc.

and my digital superstore:
http://www.softwarewarrioress.com

selling downloadable software, ebooks, complete digital business
packages with resale rights, master resell rights AND
private label rights.

Here is my best selling digital business in a box!
http://www.jtdhealth.com

Managing these online stores is a breeze compared to
a brick and mortar biz and at almost NO COST to run!

Four Basic Components of a Home Business Model

It is essential when starting a new, home-based business
that you plan on every possible thing that could happen.

Not only does this help you reach a goal for the future,
it also helps if you are trying to get financing for your
home-based business.

This important information is what makes up a home
business model. And there are four basic components of
each stage of building a business.

A great business model can only be composed after the
components of each stage have been identified.

The components of a home business model include the
infrastructure. The core components are capabilities
and competencies necessary to execute a company’s
business model.

The partner network is the business alliances which
complement other aspects of the business model and the
value, which is the rationale that makes a business
mutually beneficial for the business as well as for
its customers.

The offering of a home business model is the value
proposition. These are the products and services a
business offers.

In short, it is what the customer gets for what the
customer pays.

A customer can evaluate a company’s value on two broad
dimensions with multiple subsets.

The vendors’ marketing and sales efforts offer a
customer value proposition.

Next come the customers. You need to know who your
target customers are, the target audience for your
business products and services.

The distribution channel is the means by which a company
delivers its goods and services to a customer.

This could be through a simple means as the postal
service or a major trucking company driving your
products across country.

Customer relationship is key in a business model.

I have several businesses, one offline, one both on AND offline and

several online. The basics are the same whether you market on or

offline. I have a brick and mortar store, a home based office where

I offer both offline document creations and Virtual Assistance online.

http://www.tallentagency.com

I also have an online store selling memorabilia, hard to find or out of print movies,

collectors dolls and more here:   http://www.downmemorylanetreasures.com/

and a digital superstore with eBooks, software, ready made businesses TO sell

digitals, resale rights products and more here: http://www.softwarewarrioress.com

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Between cold weather where in this almost impossible to
heat old house where my HOME OFFICE would not get over
fifty degrees and family / holiday responsibilites, I have
not had a chance to do this ezine until finally today.

I FINALLY got to get my grand daughter, Madison, my oldest
daughter’s daughter AND my grand son, Brayden, who is my
son’s son, 7 months old, BOTH on December 26 so this was
the first time they met and made for ONE happy Grandma!

http://tinyurl.com/9urnf8

we had expected Madison to be jealous of Brayden as she
is so much older and has pretty much had me to herself
BUT she was great and agreed to share HER Grandma with
him and HE WAS JEALOUS OF HER, lol. It was too cute,
the pic has them both looking over at me while my
youngest daughter is taking the picture as they would
not even smile when I tried to take it, they just both
stared at me! Anyway, Madison was on one leg and I had
Brayden on my lap but more on the other leg and every
time she got too close to me or I hugged, kissed or
even TALKED to HER, he would lean over and push her back!

Funny, too, SHE, who was not jealous of the other baby
on my lap and who we all called me Grandma to, WAS in fact
jealous when I was rubbing her Mommy’s belly and playing
with her baby brother due in April. She actually told
her Mom’s belly, “well, she was MY Grandma first”, lol.

Madison will be three on January 11 which is also her
Daddy’s birthday. Today is my *baby* brother’s birthday,
he is 42. He spent so much time with me as a baby/toddler
with my being so much older than him that he thought he
was MINE. My other brother is only two years younger
than me so there was quite a stretch between even them.

Here are pics with my Mom, son, youngest daughter,
my youngest brother’s son and OF COURSE, my grands.

Big Fat Dumb Costly Business Mistake: Quantity Does Matter
by Donna L. Johnson

Being the poster child for accountability, I don’t have a problem
with sharing my mistakes with the world. I look at it from the
perspective that my blunders save you time, provide learning
lessons, and result in more money in your pockets.

I spend quite a bit of time researching and learning from
other speakers and coaches by listening to their audios,
reading reports and newsletters, and participating in teleseminars.

Every guru I’d listened to always boasted about the number
of subscribers they had on their lists. I’d never listened
to anyone that was just getting started or who taught from
a beginner’s level. As such, I wasn’t aware of the importance
of creating your newsletter/ezine and sending it out regardless
of the number of people on your list. In this instance,
quantity trumps quality – some is better than none and you
need to market to your list of 10 or less just as you would
to a list of thousands.

You need to already have the infrastructure in place to support
your growing list and be ready for the influx of potential clients,
students, and mentees that are awaiting you. Let’s assume that you
send your newsletter out once a month. If each of those 10 folks
on your list forwarded your newsletter to just one person and that
person became a new subscriber, your list would double in roughly
30 days.  Your list of 10 has now grown to 20!

There will be those folks who tell you that it’s a waste of time
and money to market to such a small group of people. I’m here to
tell you that the people who have tens of thousands on their lists
didn’t just wake up one day to those numbers. It was a gradual process –
it may have taken some longer than others, but it didn’t just happen
because the opt-in fairy paid them a visit.

Happy 2009 to all of us!

Now that the Christmas festivities are over we can get ready for New Years! It is hard to beieve that it is almost 2009 already, time really did fly by this year!

Got to have BOTH of my grand children together at my house Friday, the day after Christmas.

Since my oldest daughter, Crystal, lives 94 miles away from me, she and my grand daughter, Princess Madison, who is turning three on January 11, had never met my son Justin’s son, my grand son, Prince Brayden, who lives 2 blocks from me. For one reason or the other, each time I had Madison HERE we could not get Brayden and when I had HER for 5 days and nights in September HE was sick and could not come to Grandma’s house. It was SO exciting to have them both here! Happy happy Grandma!

pix are here:

http://tinyurl.com/7c44w5

I am getting ready to make 2009 my best year ever, both personally and professionally and am wishing the same for all of you!

thanks for being with me for 2008 and may we all prosper in this new year!

FOCUS VERSUS AFFILIATE PROGRAM OVERLOAD!

As a “newbie” internet marketer, it is so difficult,
it seems, to focus.

We get caught up so easily in first this wonderful sounding
program, and then the next, and so on, to the point where
e meet ourselves coming and going, kind of like in the old
Duncan Donuts commercial!

I did this in my beginning days, and I am talking BIG TIME!
If it sounded good, I knew I could do well with it because
I had enthusiasm and drive and was almost afraid to let one
pass me by.

At one time, with 6 months net marketing experience, I had
153 affiliate programs going! Eek! So many were so “popular”,
I felt like I would be a failure if I admitted they were just
not working out for me, and the others all made SOME commission
or other gain that assured me that if I could figure out what
I was lacking when I promoted them, I could do them justice.

I got lucky in a way I could not see at the time, when I
accidentally over-wrote my entire Netscape message center
while changing my user name from tallent to jtd. All of a
sudden, if the urls to the programs were not already on one
of my banner heavy eye-sore web pages, I had no access to
any of my member info.

I got the brain storm of going to each web site I could
remember the name of and asking for my username and password,
emailing the webmaster or owner of the program.

The 24 who bothered to reply to me became my Main Programs,
and the ones who had done little or nothing came OFF my web
pages to make room for the ones I was planning on really
going to bat for. Well, most of those programs are somewhere
in cyber-space now, but it was a tiny start toward my getting
SOME focus.

I decided then to only join a new program when another one
could pay my way in.

Funny, at first I felt almost torn about all of the “great offers”
I was passing up, but slowly I started to feel less of the prior
urgency and pressure when I had so many things going I was
onstantly trying to join something I had already gotten into
but had forgotten.

About this same time I started experiencing severe burnout.

I had started looking for a “real job” although my husband
and kids insisted they wanted me at home. I am a very frugal
person (actually I consider myself CHEAP but am told this is
not true!) and my kids and I have lived on a tight budget for
most of their lives, so it is not a real necessity for me to
do more than bring in enough income to supplement that of my
“new” husband (of now 21 months). At the urging of my family,
I decided to give it one more month and then was going to admit
that I did not have what it took to make a difference in our
finances by “working” on the net.

I am so very grateful I got the support I needed then because
one week before the month was up, things really started taking
off for me! Prior to July of 1999 when I became an Internet
Marketing Warrioress, my biggest month had been $200 and I was
ecstatic over that. I found the one, that for ME, was THE
turning point in my marketing career and really got me motivated.
{It was Autolink Pro Submission Service}. I made over $1000 with
this ONE program in six weeks and by then had also gained the
experience and the nerve to push what I truly believe in and
ignore the ones that do not personally fire ME up.

I still have way too many programs that all bring in a steady,
though small income, but I feel they pay for the time they take
up to promote by allowing me to afford to focus on the ones I
really love and have the most success with.

I also still jump on the occasional program that just sounds
like something I cannot live without, but now I make sure my
other ones can “pay my way in” to the ones that require a fee.

With a big old falling down country house, a still “pretty new”
hubby, a married daughter and a son-in-law, an almost 13 year
old son with ADHD and the baby girl who jut turned 8, I have
a reasonably full plate to start out with.

Mix with that a home based desk top publishing agency,
an internet and “live” health services and products business,
an internet employment and bizopp presence, my Newbies911
discussion list and publishing Rim Digest, and you come up
with the perfect recipe for CHAOS, so now it is not at all hard
for me to remember that to take care of everything and everyone,
my best advice for anyone comes in handy for me, too…

Do what you love and you can love what you do.
List your priorities and deal with things as you can.
And when it all seems like too much, take a break,
look at the total picture and …FOCUS
