This is because an Internet Business promises the things that we all want:

1. Leverage
There are close to 2 billion Internet users now with many millions more joining every single month. If we’re doing business on the Internet, the entire world is truly our oyster. We can reach out to many more people we never could otherwise.

2. Freedom
Anybody can now use the Internet to start their own business and make money doing so, in the comfort of their homes. We answer to nobody but ourselves and all we need is a computer, an Internet connection and the desire to do so.

Of course, we’ll also need some know how, which we can acquire along the way.

3. Cost-Effectiveness
It’s cheap. A domain name costs only $10/year, and hosting can be lower than $5/month. There aren’t many businesses we can start and maintain with that sort of investment. It’s truly easy to say goodbye to our bosses, although we want to be making our money first before doing so.

4. It’s A Part Of Life
That’s because the Internet links us to the latest information, and we all need to be updated all the time. It’s also a huge libary of knowledge and the vast majority of the information we want can be found for free. It’s also an entertainment outlet with millions of channels in the form of videos, created and uploaded for all to see by fellow Internet users. As such millions and millions of people use it every single day.

The Reality:
1. Many of us in fact have become successful Internet Entrepreneurs, in one way or another.
I have documented those ways in my classic Mini-Encyclopedia of Low-Cost, High-Profit Internet Business Models:

2. Many of us also failed to succeed as Internet Entrepreneurs
This can be due a number of factors. One of the main factors is the lack of knowledge or guidance. The other is the lack of proper IMPLEMENTATION of the things required to succeed.

In fact, I would rank the lack of implementation or improper implementation of best Internet Marketing practices as the main cause for failure, over and above a lack of knowledge since all the knowledge or guidance in the world is useless without the correct actions being taken.

The Success Factors For Freedom With An Internet Business
Note that we don’t just want to have a successful Internet Business – but one that gives us TOTAL FREEDOM from having to run, manage and maintain on our own.

Otherwise it’s no different from having a JOB – and that’s the very thing we’re trying to get away from.

There are many successful Internet Entrepreneurs who are tied to their Internet Business 24/7. They can’t take a vacation or even go to the movies during their waking hours for fear of missing a sale.

Or they’re overwhelmed with the multitude of roles they have to play that they get nothing done properly.

This isn’t how an Internet Business should be.

At the very least, not for me.

We should get leverage not only in how many people we can reach, but also in NOT having to do everything that is related to our Internet Business, on our own – and still make a handsome profit in the process.

With FREEDOM as the goal, let me now show you the essential elements of an Internet Business so that you know what’s involved to make money online, with the lowest amount of our money and with the least investment of our time.

To do this, I have to bring you back in time and see what are some of the most essential tools that we HAD to use to create a succesful Internet Business.

Then I’ll show you whether anything has changed along the way and if so, what we can do to adapt to the new Internet Business landscape – AND still maintain our freedom with our Internet Business working for us 24/7, instead of the other way around.

Let’s begin.

1st Generation Internet Marketing System
These are the components required:

Website + E-Mail

A website is basically our “permanent” online presence. We got a domain name and hosting account and we then uploaded whatever design and layout we wanted for our website on that domain’s host.

If we were selling products as a Merchant, we could also integrate an online payment system with our website so that we could accept payments directly from our customers via their credit cards, at the point when they decided to buy it after looking at our products.

If we were Affiliates for Merchants, we could set up a website providing useful information on topics related to the products sold by the Merchants, before recommending that they checked out the Merchants’ websites through our Affiliate Links or banners.

This would be our basic setup. We could get by with nothing else if we had lots of marketing money to spend on TV ads, newspaper ads and other places, to publicize our domain far and wide.

But we thought of using the Internet to market our websites too, since it was already being used by millions of people around the world.

The 2 Pillars
We knew Internet users then mainly used the Internet to check out:

1. Websites

2. E-mails

And because of that:

1. On Websites:
* Search Directories (like Yahoo.com, which started off as a Search Directory and later morphed into a Search Engine) and Search Engines (like AltaVista.com) were created to make the process of searching for information found on webpages much easier and quicker;

* Web Page Creators/Editors became an essential piece of software for Internet Entrepreneurs to create their own websites from scratch without needing to know HTML;

* Specialized FTP software to upload webpages to our host server became an essential tool for making our webpages seen on our domain;

* Web design and maintenance services were much sought after since most people didn’t have design skills even if they were willing and able to create the webpages themselves;

* Domain Names became hot assets to own since each one was unique and nobody else could register the same name once it was already registered by someone else

* The web hosting industry exploded and generated billions in recurring revenue.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization
Since search engines got millions of visitors per day looking for all sorts of information found on webpages throughout the world, and the engines didn’t want to create their own content but rather used software to find, index and show our webpages (without paying us a single cent to do this) to display to their visitors, who could see the results for free – we could tap into the Search Directories/Search Engines’ own traffic to get free prospects to our webpages.

And so SEO (Search Engine Optimization) became a popular topic ever since with the entire focus being on getting top rankings for our webpages for searches on keywords we wanted to target. The higher our webpages appeared on Search Engines’ results, the more free traffic we could get since Search Engine users checked out their search results starting from the top listing and moving down.

SEO companies started forming to offer SEO services to website owners who didn’t have the time or knowledge or desire to do SEO activities and tasks on their own.

Banner Ads
We could buy space on other webmasters’ websites too. We could put a banner that linked back to our webpages, and tap into the existing traffic those other websites were getting.

This marketing method required us to invest some money and while some of us did it, there were more of us who didn’t, preferring to rely on free Search Engine traffic and other free marketing methods instead.

2. On E-Mail:
Webmail services like Hotmail.com and Rocketmail.com were created to make the checking of e-mail possible through the same browser used for surfing websites instead of a separate e-mail software like Microsoft Outlook running on our computers.

This sort of simplified things for the Internet user and made things even easier for them to use, which in turn helped even more users to go online.

Mailing List Software
With e-mail being the first thing users checked when they were connected to the Internet, and being free to use, it became obvious to Internet Entrepreneurs that they needed to get their message into their visitors’ e-mail inboxes somehow.

We started asking for our website visitors to join our mailing list so that we could e-mail them offers to buy stuff, again and again. But of course, unless we were a big retailer of a range of products, nobody on our list would enjoy receiving offers from us in their e-mail boxes all the time.

And so we promised a free Special Report and tips on doing something better in our e-mail communication with them, so that they would continue to receive our e-mails. And we then interperse those e-mails with offers for our products from time to time.

This worked very well. Every time a promotional e-mail was sent out, there were bound to be sales made.

E-Mail Broadcast And Sequential Autoresponder Systems
Because of the need to constantly use e-mail, mailing list software became more and more sophisticated.

Rather than e-mailing our Prospects manually, we could use a special mailing list software called a Sequential Autoresponder System to AUTOMATICALLY e-mail our Prospects for us, with a series of pre-written e-mail messages uploaded to the Autoresponder System in advance.

So someone who just joined our mailing list would automatically receive an e-mail from our Sequential Autoresponder System, thanking him for being on our list and telling him what e-mails he could expect from us in the future.

We could also automatically send out a tip for helping him do something better (related to our topic) exactly 2 days later, and another tip on something else could be set to go out to him automatically exactly 5 days after this second automated e-mail had been sent to him.

We could also greet them by their first name in our e-mails (if we had their first name information in our database through their filling up the name field on our optin form), or have them remove themselves from our mailing lists via a single click on an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our e-mails (which saved us from having to manually remove them).

We could also broadcast e-mail messages at any time to the same list, even as they were going to receive those pre-written e-mail messages from us as scheduled in the Sequential Autoresponder System. This would be useful where we had some new offer to make to our list or we wanted them to have information we didn’t have earlier.

Thus all Sequential Autoresponder Systems will usually come with a standalone Broadcast function as well – giving us the ability to both send out pre-written e-mails to everyone who joined our mailing list, and newly written e-mails on an ad hoc basis.

If we were Affiliates, we spent the time looking for new Merchants to represent so that we could refer the same Prospects we had on our lists to many Merchants selling complementary products – thus increasing our commission earnings even more.

The Affiliate Program

Then Amazon.com came onto the scene and brought with it the concept of the Affiliate Program.

Amazon wanted Internet users to be rewarded for referring customers to its online book store. So they programmed an Affiliate Program software that could create unique Affiliate Links for each Affiliate they had in their program.

Anybody could join Amazon.com as its Affiliate for free. And all the Affiliate had to do was to put up banners that linked to their unique Affiliate Links which in turn would redirect the visitor to Amazon’s bookstore, bringing information about the unique Affiliate Link with it. Thus Amazon would know who referred the customer and reward the right Affiliate accordingly. The reward would be a percentage of the selling price.

This masterstroke of an idea resulted in Amazon.com getting millions of Affiliates all working for it for free, until a sale occurred. By then the money was already in Amazon’s bank account and Amazon could pay its Affiliates their commissions from money it had already collected – thus making this arrangement an entirely risk-free one for Amazon itself.

Amazon’s Affiliates in turn set up their own webpages and relied on Search Engine traffic and other marketing methods to draw in the Prospects. With millions of Affiliates all over the world promoting Amazon’s products, Amazon ended up having a huge referral army it didn’t need to pay to maintain.

Smart Internet Entrepreneurs then started copying Amazon’s Affiliate Program system. Affiliate Program software then became all the rage among Merchants for the benefits it would bring them.

The Affiliate Program software became another important component for a Merchant selling products online and soon many of us had either installed a similar off-the-shelf system on our domain, or used a 3rd party Affiliate Program software provider where we run the Affiliate Program off their server.

To make things easier for Affiliates to market for us, we could create ready banner ads for them and as well as ready promotional e-mail messages that they could load up into their own Sequential Autoresponder System or simply to broadcast to their lists.

To get Affiliates to join us, we could also get our website visitors to sign up as our Affiliates right on our website itself. We would also register our Affiliate Program with all the Affiliate Program Directories we could find.

To serve our Affiliates with a minimum of effort, we would have an Affiliate login on a restricted area of our website where our Affiliates could go to get their marketing materials and check their statistics and sales.

The Affiliate Program could also be automated as we could use a Sequential Autoresponder System to train our Affiliates on what steps to take to properly market for us, including how to copy and paste the banners we had prepared for them to show up on their webpages, and how to link from those banners to our websites using their own unique Affiliate Link our Affiliate Program software had automatically generated for them.

This was in addition to putting up the steps within the Affiliate login area which could be seen all the time by Affiliates who were looking for some guidance.

From time to time, we could run contests for the best Affiliate to win something valuable, to create a spike in sales when we needed extra cash to come into our business quickly. We would broadcast an e-mail to our Affiliates (they would sign up to a separate mailing list for Affiliates) to let them know about the contest – and serious Affiliates would then do whatever they needed to do to get the sales for us.

So the 1st Generation Internet Marketing System for the Merchant looks like the following:

Website + E-Mail + Affiliate Program

With a website that didn’t require any updating, Search Engine traffic, banner traffic, an automatic e-mail system, an Affiliate Program and automated Affiliate recruiting and training systems in place, we had everything we needed to make lots of money with online – practically on auto-pilot.

And many of us did.

All we needed to do as Merchants was to focus on our product range, offers, Affiliate and Customer support.

All Affiliates needed to do was to look for more Merchants to represent. (Note they wouldn’t install an Affiliate Program on their domain as Affiliates wouldn’t be selling anything themselves.)

For years, life was good.

Until something else came along that sort of messed up the good life that we had.

Which led to something that I called the 2nd Generation Internet Marketing System.

More on that in my next post!

Yes, their products can be created while they do what they do best at a Party (especially this Party) – and within a few minutes from the time they indicate to us that they want their product, they’ll have it in their hands!

I won’t spoil this for you by describing how this is done. It is VERY possible, and it will happen right before your very eyes.

Remember, you’ll want to come as you will be 5 years in the future, so you’ll definitely want to come as somebody who is actually good in something.

(Don’t come as the world 100m sprint champion if you’re 45 years old, weigh 200 pounds, have weak knees and you’ve never competed in any 100m sprints ever in your entire life. Seriously.)

The Early Bird price is no longer in effect, but you’re paying a bargain even at regular prices!

In the meantime, and on a different note, here’s a Special Report that you can download and read, and pass around to your friends.

It’s a funny yet educational read that I’ve blogged about (now turned into a Special Report) that your friends will want to pass on too!

This Special Report pre-sells one of SOLOBIS’s main products.

If you want your own version with your own Affiliate Link embedded within, so that the Special Report can benefit you fully once your friends pass it around, simply sign up as a free SOLOBIS Affiliate (if you haven’t already done so) and look under “Profit Center” > “Marketing Materials” > “Special Report” once you’re logged into the Member Area.

Click a button or two and your own Customized Special Report will be ready for you to attach to your e-mail to your friends in less than a minute!

We’re using the same marketing concept as the customized Special Report created for the Life Changing Party.

This is probably the easiest Internet marketing method ever created – and very underused, so you’ll have a good time with it!

Sen Ze

A Special Report can educate the reader on a topic, before leading him to a web site that sells a product related to that topic.

An educated reader would be more prepared to buy the product than a prospect who doesn’t really know in detail what your product is and how it can benefit him.

A Special Report in PDF format also, by virtue of its being in PDF format (instead of Word), carries more “weight” since not everybody knows how to create a PDF document, but everybody knows how to create a Word document.

When it carries more “weight”, it gets opened up by more recipients. This is crucial.

Now when a Special Report is attached to an e-mail, and is read and appreciated for its contents, the recipient of the e-mail sometimes forwards the e-mail and attachment to his friends. This happens often because forwarding is super easy to do.

And so the Special Report makes it way through the Internet to a new batch of recipients. Assuming I have sent the Special Report to 3 of my friends, and each of them forwards the entire thing to 5 of their own friends, I’ve just marketed my web site to 3 x 5 = 15 people with just a click of the “Send” button on my side, and the “Forward” button on my friends’ side.

For free.

If each of those 5 recipients were to forward the e-mail and Special Report to 6 of their friends, I would have marketed my web site to 3 x 5 x 6 = 90 people, for free!

If I send it to 10 of my friends and the above forward rates remain the same, I could reach 10 x 5 x 6 = 300 people!

A really good Special Report can be forwarded by many parties down to many levels and within days can cover the entire planet!

If you’re an Affiliate for a Merchant, sending a valuable Special Report containing your Affiliate Link within it to your friends and contacts would end with them helping you reach out to their own friends and contacts for just a few minutes of your time.

If any of them clicks on your Affiliate Link within the Special Report and purchases from the Merchant’s web site – you’ll earn your commissions!

There are few easier or cheaper methods of marketing than the above.

The only requirement is a good Special Report and a list of friends to send the Special Report to.

The Special Report must contain valuable information that is also interesting to read, so that its chances of being forwarded are multiplied manifold. Someone may forward it for the valuable information, another may forward it for its entertainment value.

The only “problem” is that Merchants don’t usually provide you with a valuable and interesting Special Report that you can use for this purpose.

Or if they do, the replacement of the link is usually done with a piece of “rebranding” software that you need to download into your computer and install, before opening the Special Report with it and changing the links in question. This isn’t easy to do, and most Affiliates don’t use it, thus limiting its impact.

But there is a Merchant that knows the power of this simple Internet Marketing technique, and is encouraging its Affiliates to use it to the fullest for mutual benefit, and has come up with a simple no-download “rebranding” or “customization” tool to increase its usage.

The Life Changing Party is such a Merchant. It has:

1. Its own valuable and interesting Special Report.

2. A free Affiliate Program that you can join within minutes.

3. A strategic partnership with SOLOBIS to provide you with a FREE Special Report Customization Service that automatically changes the regular link to the Life Changing Party within the Special Report to your own Life Changing Party Affiliate Link!

With the above, you can now become a Life Changing Party Affiliate and market it via the Special Report containing your Affiliate Link to your friends, within a few minutes!

To get started, follow the instructions below:

1. Click here to become an Affiliate for the Life Changing Party for free. Tracking of your sales is done by the AffiliateRising Affiliate Program software – one of SOLOBIS’s most powerful new applications!

2. Click here to customize the Special Report with your own Affiliate Link, in just a few clicks. There’s no software download required!

3. Download and save the customized Special Report into your computer.

4. Draft your e-mail, telling your friends to read the Special Report.

5. Attach the Special Report to your e-mail.

5. Select as many friends as possible to send the e-mail to. The more friends you send it to, the higher the chances of this Special Report travelling far and wide via e-mail forwards.

5. Click the “Send” button.

6. And you’re done!

Amazing, no?

Technorati Tags: internet marketing technique, marketing technique, e-mail marketing, market web site, marketing tactics

It’s a “technique” that gets you what you want by making people around you like you.

If fact, it makes you an IMMEDIATE HIT with your Prospects.

Not only will they like you, they will REMEMBER you.

Not only that, they CANNOT forget you, no matter what happens.

Even YEARS later, when you yourself have forgotten their names or how they even look like!

Best of all – when they call out to you on the street (remember, they wouldn’t be able to forget you even if they wanted to), you will IMMEDIATELY remember their own names!

Now which of your Prospects don’t like to be remembered (fondly) by others?

But let’s get back to YOU, as this technique is about you first, although it’s also about your Prospects.

When you’re liked (and remembered – which goes hand in hand with likeability), you increase the chances of getting what you want, significantly.

Now imagine the effect this powerful concept will have on your business and personal life.

It’s something worth thinking about.

And all you need to know is what to say to the people you would like to do business with.

It involves the following questions:

1. What’s the sweetest sound in the universe to any person?

2. Why is that the sweetest sound in the universe to that person?

Here are the answers that form the basis of this awesome technique.

The sweetest sound in the world to any person, of course, is his own NAME.

This is a FACT.

(Check out Dale Carnegie’s classic book, “How To Win Friends And Influence People” that has a chapter or two on this).

There are minor exceptions (as always), but the vast majority of people LOVE to hear the sound of their own names.

Why?

I mentioned this before, and I’ll say it again.

We LOVE ourselves.

This is the reason why we can look in the mirror every day and feel sad that a wrinkle is appearing, or the hairline is receding or the waistline is expanding.

Otherwise we couldn’t care less.

And our names is a shortcut to everything that’s us. We use our own names to refer to ourselves.

This fact gives you a very potent tool to get ahead in your careers or businesses.

So how do you apply this knowledge?

Simple.

It’ll work only when you’re meeting somebody for the very first time. There are other conditions, but I’ll get to them soon enough.

So okay, both of you don’t know each other’s names and have never met before.

You think he may be a good Prospect for your business.

This is what you do.

Ask him for his name.

Let’s just say he says his name is “Paul Jones“.

Okay. Now this is EXTREMELY important.

You respond with the following:

“What? That’s TOTALLY AMAZING.”

Then you wait for his response.

He’ll say, “Why is that?”

And you say (this is EVEN MORE important – listen up):

“Because my name is PAUL JONES too!”

“Isn’t that amazing?”

(Of course it is. I’m in shock even as I write this.)

Do you see what you’re doing?

WHATEVER name he calls out, you respond with the SAME EXACT NAME!

Now tell me this.

How soon do you think he’ll forget your “name” after that meeting?

Right. NEVER .

Because it’s his name too and he, of course, NEVER forgets his own name.

Think about it. How many people in the past have you met that have the same exact name as you do?

Right.

NONE.

And because it never happens, we take full notice of our namesake when it does.

Your Prospect will be doing exactly this, to you.

Since he absolutely likes to hear the sound of his own name, some of that liking will transfer over to you as well – and you don’t have to do much to earn it, apart from repeating his name back to him

Powerful, no?

But that isn’t the only benefit with this technique.

Once you’ve repeated his name back to him, YOU can IMMEDIATELY FORGET it from that point on, and you will IMMEDIATELY be able to RECALL his name even years later when you see him again.

How?

Because when you share the same exact name with somebody else, he’ll be affected more by this than you because it really isn’t your real name, but it is his.

So when he sees you walking down the street one day – you can bet that last dollar you have that HE’LL GREET YOU FIRST by calling out his name to you (and probably laughing as well), because he thinks that’s also YOUR NAME!

And what happens when this happens?

RIGHT!

YOU NOW KNOW HIS NAME AS SOON AS HE HAS GREETED YOU!!

You need never, ever be caught not knowing someone’s name again.

Brilliant, no?

This works equally as well for the opposite sex.

How?

For example, she says her name is “Georgia Smith“.

You say, “That’s TOTALLY AMAZING! Because my name’s George Smith!”

She says “Christine Langton“.

You say “REALLY!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. I’m Chris Langton!”

She says “Pauline Zega“.

You say “I DON’T BELIEVE THIS. I’m Paul Zega!”

Heck, it works even when you’re of a different race.

Let’s say you’re a male Caucasian.

He says his name is “Kareem Abdul Jaabar“.

You say, “THAT’S TOTALLY AMAZING! My name’s Kareem Abdul Jaabar too!”

He says his name is “Hiroshi Hiratha“.

You say, “YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS. I’m HIROSHI HIRATHA too!”

Of course, you’ll have a great time too telling the story of how you got that name.

And here’s AN EXPLOSIVE mix of race and gender, and you don’t have the male equivalent of her name:

She says her name is “May Lin“.

You say “ARE THE STARS ALIGNED TODAY? My name’s May Lin too!”.

In fact, the more different you are to your name (as in you’re of a different race and gender) which is also the other person’s name, the STRONGER the effect will be on him or her.

Try it – it works like crazy!!!!

Here’s another variation of this powerful concept that is equally as important to you in your personal and business life.

What’s the next thing after a person’s name that she will NEVER EVER FORGET and treat equally as important?

Right.

Her birthday, of course.

So if you want to remember another person’s birthday, all you have to do is to ask her, and whatever date it is, you say…

Well, what do you say?

Of course.

“Oh, that’s totally AMAZING. That’s MY birthday too!”

(You’re such a quick learner…I’m so proud of you.)

So when her birthday comes, you can bet she’ll be thinking about you. And if she calls to wish you a happy birthday (on the day it isn’t), you KNOW it’s her birthday, and you can wish her back!

Can you imagine how happy she would be – even though she’s the one who actually reminded you of her birthday?

NOTE:

The above methods work best under the following conditions:

1. You are in a one-to-one meeting with the Subject
You can’t do this in front of people who know you’re not “Paris Hilton” and your birthday isn’t on the 29th February. You just can’t, and you shouldn’t, you hear me?

2. You appear totally amazed and excited
You must be happy that you’re sharing the same exact name/birthday with someone else, because in real life, you would be.

3. You must be able to lie convincingly
Yep, you’ll be throwing your ethics/morals out of the window. It absolutely won’t work if you feel guilty or nervous when you’re talking to them.

If you can do all of the above, you’re all set.

Sen Ze

P.S. Do I use this “Name” technique? Are you crazy? Of course not. Can’t you see my name in your browser?

P.P.S. The logic behind this technique is very sound, even though the morals/ethics behind it are not. I don’t actually use it and you shouldn’t either. It’s a joke, so lighten up.

This “technique” is shown to you so that you realize just how important our names are to ourselves and others – so if you don’t already have a Personal Domain Name that is made up of your actual name, click below and get one now:

Personal Domain Name Plan

P.P.P.S. A buddy of mine ACTUALLY uses the “Birthday” technique! I know because some lady called him up on his cellphone and wished him a happy birthday when we were talking, and he wished her back – in front of a confused me, because he had celebrated his birthday 2 months before with a bunch of us!

P.P.P.P.S. In the OMINICITI Personal Domain Names Directory (which has 700+ listings of websites with Personal Domain Names now), there are two “Susan Isaacs“.

One Susan Issacs is found at www.SusanIsaacs.com, and the other one is found at www.SusanIsaacs.net (if you can’t get the dotcom version of your name, get the dotnet version, or whatever version you can get your hands on because once they’re gone, they’re likely gone forever).

Both are totally different people doing different things. One’s an Author, the other’s an Actress. If you put them together at a party, you can bet neither will forget the other and what she does and show she looks, for as long as they live! Check their sites out – you’ll see how different they are in all aspects even though they share the same name.

Yes, they’re all experts at what they do.

But even better, and even more stunning, is the fact that the vast majority of them don’t have a web site at their own Personal Domain Name that bears their actual name!

Just do a quick check, right now.

How many experts around you do?

Right – few, to NONE.

But a Personal Domain Name for experts is a no-brainer.

Why?

Here are just seven reasons:

Reason #1: We remember other people by their NAMES first

Then we’ll associate that name with the company they work with – if we bother to do this additional linking exercise in the first place.

The company they’re associated with is USUALLY the next thing we’ll think of, AFTER we’ve got a name on the person, or if we can’t remember his name.

We associate other people by their names first and foremost because we need a LABEL to link that person with.

But a company can be home to more than one employee.

And its employess can move to another company over time.

Or it can die within 5 years (as most businesses do).

Whereas people have an average lifespan of 70-80 years.

And so a company is a distinct entity that is totally separate from the person.

Even if Microsoft is Bill Gates and Steve Jobs is Apple.

(They aren’t, actually.)

Because you’ll call them “Bill” or “Steve”, not “Microsoft” or “Apple” respectively.

It’s “Bill” first, then “Microsoft”. Or “Steve” first, then “Apple”.

It’s just the way the brain works.

THIS IS A FACT.

You know it is.

AND IF YOU’RE AN EXPERT YOURSELF, YOU CAN EITHER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, OR WATCH YOUR COMPETITORS DO IT AT YOUR EXPENSE.

Reason #2: The Internet Is All Around Us

And with the Internet being such a big part of our lives now and in time to come – a Personal Domain Name will soon become a necessity.

Practically everybody has heard of it and the World Wide Web.

And hundreds of millions of people use it every single day to do their research, find information or best of all, buy products or services.

And you can bet that shirt on your back that some of your Prospects/Customers will use it at some point to look for you.

Over 40% of my Prospects/Customers find me by typing my name directly into their Internet Browsers followed by a “.com” at the back.

That’s a HUGE percentage by any means.

And that’s potential Prospects/Customers lost if you don’t have a Personal Domain Name in the name you’re known for, especially when you’re an expert at what you do and people look out for you for help!

Reason #3: It Costs Less Than $10/Year

A Personal Domain Name costs only $8.10/year at this Domain Name Registrar.

For less than $10/year, your status has now been elevated to one that is higher than everybody else WITHOUT a Personal Domain Name.

You suddenly stand out. You’re different. You have something that is related to the Internet in some way.

You’re now cooler than everybody else carrying a cell or mobile phone but don’t have a Personal Domain Name!

Reason #4: Your Web Site At Your Personal Domain Name Sells Your Services For You

Your Personal Domain Name is the address for your web site. SOLOBIS enhances some of the best-looking WordPress themes for your use.

You simply focus on your content by writing about you and what you do, and selling any related items you may have there as well by putting up information about them and linking it to an order form for orders to be made via credit card.

And writing and publishing at your Blog for the world to see is as easy as writing and sending e-mail to your contacts!

Reason #5: You Have More Than One Profit Center

The SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Plan comes with the “SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Profits E-Course” worth $197 that will teach you more ways to profit from your Personal Domain Name apart from just selling your services/expertise on your Blog above.

Discover some other mind-bogglingly easy ways that anybody can do to profit from their Personal Domain Name – by simply using it!

Reason #6: You Get Express Listing In OMNICITI

OMNICITI.com is the world’s first Personal Domain Name Directory that only lists web sites with Personal Domain Names. It currently has over 620 links and is growing every single day.

Once you’ve posted a good profile about yourself on your Blog, you can then submit your Personal Domain Name to it for listing (just make sure you follow its guidelines).

You will be seen by others who are checking out other people for certain expertise or help, all over the world.

Reason #7: One Day, Everybody Will Have His Own Personal Domain Name

This is my brain-dead prediction – and I’m having lots of fun seeing it becoming a reality day by day. I’m sure you can see it too by now.

It’s been happening since the World Wide Web started – but it’s about to take on a speed it’s never seen before.

So get your preferred Personal Domain Name now before they’re all gone forever.

By being here, you’ve been alerted to the next great trend, worldwide.

What’s more, you can actually see it happening in real time.

How lucky you are.

The SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Plan (codenamed “Project SEGO“) was launched at www.SOLOBIS.com.

And not long after that we had technical glitches with the Personal Domain Name Search Tool.

Too many were using it to search for their own Personal Domains to see if they’ve been grabbed by other people from around the world, and it just didn’t work after a while.

Worse, it showed some domains as “UNAVAILABLE” when they were.

LOL…

If you were one of those who were disappointed that your name has been taken in all Domain Name forms (like JohnSmith.com, JohnSmth.net and JohnSmith.info, for example), please try again at the following link, to be sure. It’ll only take you a few seconds:

http://www.SOLOBIS.com

You may just be in luck…

Remember, there can only be one version of each, and when they’re gone – they’ll likely stay gone forever.

So make sure you GRAB YOURS today, and make a huge difference in how others perceive you.

The ridiculously low price of just $9.97/month gets you a beautiful, working SOLOBIS-Enhanced WordPress Blog and unlimited e-mail addresses based on your Personal Domain, plus an E-Course called “Personal Domain Name Profits” worth $197 that will be sent to you over a period of time.

This E-Course in the form of e-mails sent to you every other day will show you some extremely easy methods of generating lots of spare income with your own Personal Domain Name that don’t involve conducting(expensive) AdWords campaigns, doing (time-consuming) Keyword Research, (religiously) writing and submitting (numerous) articles to Article Directories, or adding AdSense codes on your Blog pages.

Check it out!

If you’re John Smith and you’re fresh out of college or you’re already working – how many of your friends or fellow colleagues have a Personal Domain Name (ie a Domain Name made up of his own name)?

Right.

NONE.

So why is this important?

If you were to go for job interviews one day – do you think your interviewer will notice that you’ve got your own Personal Domain Name at “www.JohnSmith.com“?

Especially when he himself has yet to have one?

Especially after you have conveniently pointed it out to him?

And especially when everybody else he’s interviewing doesn’t have their own Personal Domain Name, web site/Blog or E-Mail address?

But they do have “james1983@gmail.com“?

Or “will_die4love@hotmail.com“?

And you only have

“john@johnsmith.com“?

Or they do have a Blog, at

“www.MySpace.com/2334343“?

Or “www.james.blogspot.com“?

Or “www.xanga.com/noolmusic“?

Compared to your

“www.JohnSmith.com“?

How much of an impression do you think your “competitors” are going to make on ANYBODY?

Can you see now how a Personal Domain Name that contains your actual name is a no-brainer?

But what can you put on your Blog at your “www.JohnSmith.com“?

Hmmm….let’s see.

Let’s make it easy, yet totally beneficial to you.

How about your resume?

Maybe some details about your working experiences in the same industry?

A revelation of your “Employee Of The Month” Award?

Photos of you “in action”, receiving the Award?

Details of your projects you’ve worked on?

Shots of you with your business partners (to show how social you are, and maybe who you know – which could be very useful for certain jobs)?

You know?

You can put whatever it is you want on your Blog to achieve your purpose at a moment’s notice because with the SOLOBIS-Enchanced WordPress Blogs, you don’t have to know how to design or put up a web page. Just log into your Blog Administrative Area and type your post, upload some photos from your computer and click on the “Publish” button – and you’re done.

Just like that.

You can easily delete your posts with a few clicks too, and put up other stuff on your Blog for another purpose at another time.

A Blog at your Personal Domain Name and e-mail addresses based on your Personal Domain are such simple and powerful marketing tools for yourself that you’ll be silly not to set them up – especially when it’s only going to cost you a paltry $10/month!

You’ll STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD INSTANTLY because your contacts don’t know how easy and cheap it is for them to get their own Personal Domain Name and e-mail addresses based on them.

They’ve always thought a Domain Name is for businesses, not individuals.

However, if you like, you can point the way for them to get their own Personal Domain Name too by referring them to the SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Plan with everything set up for them.

They’ll do this quickly too since there can only be ONE .com or .net or .info for every personal name.

And once they’ve got one, they WILL NOT give it up as it only costs them the same paltry $10/month for their Personal Doman Name and hosting of their Blog and e-mail accounts.

This, therefore, will earn you Residual Income from SOLOBIS for YEARS to come!

The more friends you have who get the SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Plan from you, the more Residual Income you will be making.

With a “product” that impresses those who don’t have it – which is the vast majority of us.

Get it NOW and start reaping its benefits within days of using it:

Likewise, other people are also interested in THEMSELVES, and YOU.

This has been the case since time immemorial.

Which is the reason why we’re still surviving as a species until today.

Project SEGO is about you, your EGO, other people and their EGOs.

Most of all, it’s about how you and the others can all STAND OUT even better than currently.

So that if you’re looking for THEM, you’ll be able to find them BETTER and FASTER.

So that if they’re looking for YOU, they’ll be able to find you BETTER and FASTER.

When this happens, money can be made directly or indirectly and quicker than ever before.

But what else do they and you all have in common, apart from your EGOs?

But of course.

You need a LABEL to attach to those EGOs, for ease of recall.

For example, let’s look at Prince, the music icon:

He changed his name to just a symbol at one time, which looks like the following:

Now what did you call him at that time when you were talking about him with your friends?

You couldn’t call him anything, without having to make a reference to him as “Prince previously” or “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince“.

This is so because his symbol can’t be pronounced in any way.

You’re back calling him “Prince” somewhere in your description of him because sometime in the past you knew him as that.

Of course, Prince had a reason why he changed his name to a symbol, and why he eventually changed it back – but that’s another story.

So the “Prince” label has stuck in your mind for now and forever.

Likewise, you’re known by a label by your friends. You know other people by their labels too.

That label is called a “NAME“.

Without a name, nobody can efficiently store you in their heads, or refer you to their friends properly.

It’s a “shortcut reference” to YOU.

And your friends and contacts’ names are your shortcut references to THEM.

SOLOBIS’s Project SEGO therefore, is about taking your name, and adding some potent, low-cost, high-leverage, readily-available “components” to it to make it have a much BIGGER impact on your friends and contacts.

And one of those components, which is Secret Tool No.1 in my previous post on this, is to “dotcom your name“.

Let’s say your name is John Smith.

By dotcoming it, you’ll have www.JohnSmith.com.

Like I have, with my own name.

Which is Sen Ze, with a red “Z”.

Now check out my domain.

It’s www.SenZe.com.

It cost me only $8/year to register this and hold on to it.

I’ve owned it for years now, and will own it for years to come.

The best thing is that ANYBODY can register their own name as a domain name at any Domain Name Registrar (I recommend this one) for less than $10 a year.

Yet the vast majority of us don’t do this because we:

1. Don’t have a purpose for a dotcom version of our names;
2. Don’t know how cheap it is to register one;
3. Don’t know how to register one;
4. Don’t know what to do with it after it’s registered, even if we knew how to register it;
5. Don’t know how to set up a web site for the domain even if we knew what to do with it;
6. Don’t know how to make money with it even if we could set up a web site;
7. Don’t desire to labor over our Internet Business to make money with it even if we knew how to make money with it.

SOLOBIS’s Project SEGO solves all the 7 problems you have in one go!

When it launches in just a few hours from now:

1. Your Name becomes your Internet Business;

2. You will have a SOLOBIS-Enhanced WordPress Blog automatically set up for you at www.YourName.com within a few days with a design of your choice selected by you from a list of beautiful WordPress Blog Templates. This Blog is optimized for HUMANS, since you’ll be directing humans to it;

3. You need only create a SINGLE page on this Blog on anything you like – but SOLOBIS suggests you write about YOURSELF so that you don’t have to crack your head on this. You can of course add more pages if you wish;

4. You tell your friends about your Blog by referring them to

www.YourName.com;

5. You tell your friends about your Blog using an e-mail address that is in this format, which will be created for you:

YourFirstName@YourName.com.

For example, if your name is John Smith, you can e-mail your friends using

john@johnsmith.com;

6. Your friends will be impressed with both your e-mail address and your domain name and will likely check out your Blog;

7. They read about you on your Blog and get even more impressed because they don’t know how to get a Personal Domain Name, E-Mail Address and a beautiful Blog all tied to your Personal Domain Name;

8. If they want the same thing from SOLOBIS so that their contacts will be impressed with them (and why wouldn’t they?) and they click on a your SOLOBIS Referral Link in your Blog linking directly to SOLOBIS and buy the Personal Domain Name Plan – you make money!

9. If their friends want the same thing from them after SOLOBIS has set the same thing up for them – you make money once more!

10. If their friends’ friends want the same thing via SOLOBIS - you make money once again!

11. This goes down to 5 Levels deep - so you make money from other people’s efforts in automatically promoting SOLOBIS’s Personal Domain Name Plan via their own Blogs!

12. You’ll also make money from other links in your Blog to other web sites of your choice (not AdSense)! SOLOBIS will show you how this is automatically done!

13. You’ll also receive a

Personal Domain Name E-Course worth $197

containing valuable information in your mailbox every other day that will show you other ways to make money with your Personal Domain Name. They’re all very easy ways that anybody can do!;

14. Your Blog does

double or triple duty

in promoting you and whatever else you want since it’s up to you what you want to post on it;

15. Every single Blog in the SOLOBIS Personal Domain Plan is different because they contain specific data about each individual, who are all different in terms of interests, professions and many other areas. This adds a lot of variety to the SOLOBIS Network Of Personal Domain Name Web Sites;

16. You get an Express Listing worth $50 in OMNICITI, the World’s First Personal Domain Name Directory, so that your Personal Domain Name can be listed within 48 hours. You will likely get free traffic from it since this Directory will be aggressively promoted. Check it out below:

Here’s a sample of some of the Personal Domains in this Directory:

See how each and every listing in the sample above are of a domain name that contains their actual name?

This Personal Domain Name Directory currently has over 500 Personal Domain Names of people from all over the world who understand the value of having one.

It’s all the proof you need of the

Personal Domain Name “Mini-Movement”

as it’s growing steadily every single day.

And the time has come for this movement to grow exponentially.

But what about the price for the SOLOBIS Personal Domain Name Plan?

I said it’s so low you’ll think you’re in heaven.

How does $9.97/month sound to you?

So how much did you spend last Saturday at Starbucks?

Less than $10/month for all the above benefits, on top of your other low-cost investment of $8.10/year for your Personal Domain Name.

It’s really a no-brainer.

But there is a catch.

Once “JohnSmith.com” is taken by somebody else, it’s gone for as long as the owner of that Personal Domain Name wants to hold on to it as there

cannot be another “JohnSmith.com”.

And you can bet your last dollar that he will own it forever, as it’s only less than $10 a year!

So you’ll have an alternative in “JohnSmith.net“. But the same rule applies. There can only be

ONE “JohnSmith.net“,

no matter how many John Smiths there are in this world.

So you’ll need to register your own Personal Domain Name as soon as you’re accessing the SOLOBIS web site when it’s open for your registration.

And the rest will fall into place for you over the next few days.

This, then, is

“The Simplest And Easiest Internet Business Ever“.

It’s so simple that everybody can understand it, and it’s so easy to do that even your grandmother can do it.

If you truly believe in this concept and you want to give it a shot, watch out for an e-mail from the SOLOBIS Team if you’re on the

Priority Notification List

that contains the

secret sign-up page.

You’ll get a head start of

1-2 hours

before it’s officially launched.

If you’re not on it – here’s your last chance:

When you check out a group photograph with you in it – who’s the first person you look out for?

YOU, of course.

You’ll check out how you look in that photo FIRST, before you even look at anybody or anything else.

Which isn’t surprising, since the first thing most of us do when we get out of bed in the morning is to look at the mirror to see our own faces.

This is the “EGO” in “Project SEGO”.

SEGO allows you to focus on YOU - and make money by doing so!

How’s that for a pleasant change?

And now for the second component of Project SEGO.

Close to the top of your “Love List”, apart from yourself – is OTHER PEOPLE.

Yes, you’re interested in other people.

When a new blockbuster movie is being produced – you want to know who’s starring in it.

When a new book makes the bestselling list – you want to know who the author is.

When somebody invents a new type of car that runs on air alone – you want to know who the inventor is.

When you’re running a company, you want to know who’s out there with the special skills you need so that you can hire them.

When you date somebody, you want to know her background, what she likes and who her parents are and what they do.

When you’re trying to sell that multi-million-dollar gadget to a company, you want to know who the decision maker is and what his hobbies are.

So yes, people are interested in other people.

Because, by being interested in other people, YOU INCREASE THE CHANCES OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT, SIGNIFICANTLY.

This, therefore, is the “S” in “SEGO”. “S” stands for “Subject“.

Project “SEGO” therefore rides on your EGO, and your fascination with other SUBJECTS, each with their own EGOs – to create “The Simplest And Easiest Internet Business Ever” that you can take part in just 2 days from now.

It’s unlike any other Internet Business you’ve been involved in until now.

It’s a simple idea but its potential is truly HUGE.

The key to it all is based on just one thing that is important to YOU and YOUR SUBJECTS.

Without this one thing – it’s hard for your EGO to be created and formed in your Prospects’ minds, and it’s impossible for you to focus your mind around your Subjects.

It’s something everybody has.

In 2 days’ time, that something takes prominence over everything that you do.

In 2 days’ time, your life may never be the same again.

You will go from small to big, in the easiest possible way.

And ANYBODY can be a part of it – but only if he’s fast enough.

More revelations tomorrow…

You DON’T want to miss that for sure.
