“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!“

"Cathy's quick, precise response to questions about my site's copy was very impressive. She not only took the time to read it but actually helped me by identifying some areas where I was weak and pointing them out to me. I appreciated her honesty."

"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!

THANK YOU
I would like to start off this week by thanking you for your patience and understanding.

We have all been there, everything is going along just fine and (wham!) an unforeseen problem suddenly crops up. My beloved pc is down. It has been down for a couple of days and will probably not be better until next week sometime.

I have been through this before and it is no fun.

Rest assured, I will still be available on a limited basis. Please feel free to continue emailing your comments and questions; I will get to them, but it will probably take me a little longer than what you are used to.

I will not be available via instant messenger until my pc is restored.

While this is very inconvenient for me, it is by no means insurmountable. We have limped along this way in the past, and I am sure (unfortunately) that we will probably have to deal with it again in the future.

Business continues as usual, just a little slower.


NEW ASK CATHY QUESTION
I did manage to get a new Ask Cathy question onto the site this week. :)


BIRTH OF AN INTERNET BUSINESS
Online -
I didn't get much done online this week at all, for reasons already mentioned above.

While I am online to send this Update, I will send out email ads to several safelists. The results will have to wait until next week, but I want to continue my ad copy tests.

I will send the same ad out to about 5 different lists and look for email account referrers in my stats tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully there will be a good response, but if not, I will at least know that my ad needs some work and will get right on it.

Offline -
I made some sales this week; all to local women who tried a sample. Each was glad to receive my follow up call and said they wanted more Raiza Creme right away!

Most were casual acquaintences, but one was a salon owner who is still thinking about selling it in her store. :)

I redoubled my efforts to think of new places and ways to sell it offline.

The owner of the local ladies gym has agreed to hand out samples and brochures for me. I put a bunch of each into a basket that has been sitting on her reception desk since Thursday afternoon.

I consider this to be the best thing I did this week. She isn't charging me anything and her customers have already demostrated an interest in wanting to look good by using her gym. Most of them are probably using several different skin care products already. I will keep you posted on this one.

I gave the only medical clinic in town 10 samples and brochures for their staff to try and to hand out to patients. I also left a brochure at the only nursing home in town for their medical staff to look at. I am finding medical people to be very interested in a possible treatment for eczema and psoriasis.

I have also been trying to following up with people who have been hard to reach.

It's good to consider the use of adversity.


Have a Profitable Day,

Cathy Wagner
