ARE YOU SITTING ON A FAKE EGG?

You know you can fool a chicken with placing a fake
egg in with the other eggs and that chicken will just sit
on it, clean around it, sit on it and do her motherly duty.

Is this what you are doing with your product?

Is your product a fake egg?

Well if you are just sitting on it and nothing is happening, it
is probably a fake egg.

Are you working it or are you sitting on it?

If you are just sitting on it, all the other eggs around you are developing
and you are staying the same, no life is being breathed into
your product.

If your product looks like all the other products around you
and the other products are developing and you are not. You
are more or less sitting on a fake egg.

It does not mean your product is not a good one, but it does
mean you are just sitting on it.

Maybe you just need to change your tatics, kick that fake egg
out of the nest and put it to work. Take that fake egg for a walk
up this super highway and show it what happens when you put
it to work.

Are you spending most of your time trying to get listed in the
search engines and you just arn't making a mark? Some of the
guru's will tell you this is the only way to get ahead.

I hate to disagree with pros, but a billion people cannot be first.
Someone has to bring up the ranks. So the odds are against you
here and maybe you should place your energy in another direction.

If you are in line up this super highway and there are a billion
people in front of you - you can inch by inch make your way up
this super highway, but if you are not a heavly hit sight - the
others will remain in front of you - so don't despair, it's not all
a loss.

I've told you the story about my being listed as number one on
Yahoo and I didn't even list the page, in fact it was a redirect
page for my affiliate.

A program I used when I first started had never even
listed in one search engine and they (notice I said they - not me)
have made over a million dollars from their simple little program.

Don't be caught sitting on that fake egg just keeping it warm. Move
on to more productive adventures, get listed in newsletters, classifieds,
get you a mailing list developed.

I have built my mailing list strictly by my newsletter, until recently,
I decided to get brave and try one of
the opt-in lists (and make a note - OPTIN is the key - not targeted).

Mostly a waste of money - when you sign up for something that already
has 10 other newsletters signed up - do you think people will really be
interested in my newsletter - they are signing up for the free
products.

Purchasing leads really not a good idea - only experimenting will
tell you on this - I still have some of the original subscribers, but
a lot of people unsubscribe and this is where they like to yell "spam"
because they say they didn't sign up - Always keep your subscribe
notice.

Never very good response from purchased leads.

The best way to see what you need to do is just sign up for some
of the more successful marketers and see what they do to get you to
subscribe to their newsletters.

No better lesson, than to check out the things that are working for
others.

I am very careful about not spamming and my list is a confirmation
list and the subscribers must confirm they wish to receive the
newsletter.

Don't let the search engines intimidate you. That is not the only way
to make your presence known on the internet. Research all the other
ways to get your information sent around the globe.

Some plans really stress tracking - I started off doing that, but in all honesty
it is very discouraging - I found it more beneficial to spend my time just building the business.
Keeping in mind that someone needs to see your name over 7 times before they have trust
in your product - so concentrate on getting your name out there via newsletters, forums, ads,
writing articles, trading links - there are many ways to get your name out there.

Happy Marketing!!

You will never know how much the Holy Spirit inspired poems and
stories from "Diamonds from Heaven" have ministered to hurting
hearts until you take a look at the wonderful way they minister.
Read about the baby that was saved from abortion due to the poem
"God Never Loses Even one" - I heard from the mother who said her
beautiful daughter of three now sings on stage of how Jesus Loves
Her and all because of that beautiful poem.

Take a look:

Concerned about why sometimes you think the glass is half full and
sometimes half empty.

ONE: Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you
could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a
half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the
teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six,
nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen
nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and
ordered six McNuggets.

TWO: I was checking out at the local Walmart with just a few items and
the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked
up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and
placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the
girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider," looking
it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar
code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her
"I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said
"OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what
had just happened.

THREE: A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy
drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she
was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept
asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

FOUR: I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
"Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have
replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get
into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience
store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have
an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered,
handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually
unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and
check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

FIVE: Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One
day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out
of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the
secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining
blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make
five "blank" copies.

SIX: I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was
towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of
repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in
"Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the
driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make
a sandwich.

SEVEN: My neighbor works in the operations department in the central
office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have
problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in
one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming
from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

EIGHT: Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal
colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy
machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police
pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't
telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the
suspect confessed.

NINE: A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she
needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants.
The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be
fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....
Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!

Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

- Tip of the day.

How do you react to computer problems? Do you sit back and think
about the last thing you did? Do you panic, frantically pressing
buttons? Do you just shut off your computer and call your "computer
guru"? Do you shoot off an email to WorldStart?

Successful problem solving requires the right state of mind. It
can make the difference between minutes and days. It can prevent
a small problem from getting worse. Here are some things to remember
when faced with computer catastrophes:

1. Don't panic — In most cases you can turn off your PC and get
back to the problem later. Of course, many problems occur when
you do have a deadline looming (or passed). If you can wait,
even for a few minutes, until you take a few deep breaths, do so.

2. The problem may not be as big as it seems — Hard drives do
crash, but that isn't necessarily what just happened. It's hard
to judge a problem when it first occurs. After calmly looking
over the situation you may be back up and running in a few minutes.

3. Don't jump to conclusions before you understand the problem
and look at every angle. Don't go reformatting your hard drive
when you might be able to adjust one setting and be back on your
feet.

4. Think through all possibilities before you begin — Consider
any recent changes. Did you install or uninstall software? Have
you added a new device: drive, printer, scanner? Did you open an
attachment in an email or download a file? Was anyone else on your
computer? Have you changed any settings?

5. Work on the problem when you have time — Ten minutes before
dinner is not the best time to begin a project. You're more likely
to rush. Expect to invest a few hours so you can relax and take it
easy.

6. Don't abuse your hardware — I've been known to get physical
when frustrated, but throwing the keyboard across the room will
not unfreeze my computer. Smacking the monitor may feel good, but
it can mess things up. Violently shaking the printer will
eventually get the paper jam out, but may lead to other damage.

7. Know when to take a break — If you start feeling warn out,
step away from the computer. Get some rest, relax, refuel then
jump back in with a fresh outlook. I don't know how many problems
I've solved in two minutes after a night's sleep when the previous
day I spent hours.

8. Don't be shy — Ask for help. If you exhaust all your
possibilities or get in over your head, call a friend who
knows computers. Check out our Computer Tips website, the
WorldStart Message Board, and any other resource you can think
of. You can even try calling tech support for your computer or
the hardware component manufacturer—here are some tips for
dealing with tech support...

The right frame of mind is an important ingredient in successful
computer problem solving. Keep a cool head and you're more likely
to figure out what's wrong.
