“The free information and free advertising ALONE is worth the visit. But if you're really serious about promoting your product or service, become a Paid Member. Speaking as a two-month-old rookie in the field of web promotion, I can say that I certainly got lucky by stumbling upon One Stop Internet Business Services early in the game. I still have a long way to go, but OneStop has proven to be a great place to start!“

"I am a beginner at netmarketing, not very good at ad writing and I really needed some help with it. After having an ad writing workshop with Cathy, the full page ad I was trying to write turned out to be just great!

"I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a little help, because it's not given to everybody to have the skill to write good ads.

"Thank you Cathy for helping me!"

Hello,

Welcome Members!

Welcome to 2004!
2003 was an uncommonly difficult year for many, many people online and off. Whether it was good for you or bad, I am sure you were handed many opportunities to learn and grow. Don't forget what you have learned and if you don't know what I am talking about, think about the triumphs and troubles of the last year and try to see what they can teach you.

Are You Ready?
After a brief holiday lull, we are launching into another very busy time online. Just think about all of the people who just got computers or money for Christmas, or those who want to help pay for those holiday bills with a second online income. Statistics say that literally tens of thousands of new users come online every day.

So, are you ready to sell? Do you have effective ad copy that you can run every day? Has your effective ad copy become stale from being used so many times in the same places? Do you test your ads to find out which ones are pulling in the best response? Do you continue to search for new places and ways to advertise your offer? Do you know what free publicity means online and are you using it? Are you following up with all serious leads and/or downlines?

If you answered yes to most of those questions, you are ready! Go out there and make it an awesome year!

If you answered no to most of those questions, you really need to get focused. If you are serious about your online business, you must make a serious committment to do the work necessary to make it successful. There is not short cut. Assuming you have an awesome product and a good web site, here is what you need to do:

Step 1 Write some ad copy. I don't mean one ad, I mean a whole bunch of ads. Ads that sing the truest and best benefits of your product.

Step 2 Test your ads. This is vital and will save you the trouble of placing ad after ad that is just not doing it's job. (For more information on this, see my article about tracking your sales process.)

Step 3 Put your best ad copy everywhere you can think of, starting of course with free advertising methods to further test them before you spend your hard earned cash.

Step 4 Actively look for and use free publicity. (For more information on free publicity, see this Ask Cathy question.)

Step 5 Actively follow up with serious leads and/or downline. It is very helpful to have several prewritten messages, such as an introductory message and several followup messages to send to these people at intervals to keep you in their mind. (For more information on following up, see this Ask Cathy question.)

Now you know what to do, go out and make it happen!

All my best to your and yours for a very prosperous year.

Have a Profitable Day,

Cathy Wagner
