			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to discover some of the most amazing advances in <strong>AUTOMATED</strong> Internet Marketing Systems since automated Internet Marketing Systems were created by smart Internet Entrepreneurs?</p>
<p>Then make your way to <strong>Corus Hotel (Kuala Lumpur)</strong> this <strong>Saturday June 12th 2010</strong>. I&#8217;ll be presenting some of the best Automated Internet Marketing Systems ever created up till now, starting at 2.30pm, for about 2 1/2 hours.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll discover what the 1st Generation Automated Internet Marketing System is, followed by the 2nd Generation, followed by the 3rd Generation and finally the 4th Generation Automated Internet Marketing Systems.</p>
<p>Along the way, you&#8217;ll discover some powerful business concepts never before seen anywhere else that made it <strong>FINALLY</strong> possible for you to have real, human <strong>EXPERTS</strong> doing your Internet Marketing <strong>FOR YOU</strong>, at a <strong>FRACTION</strong> of the cost of hiring them elsewhere. In fact, you don&#8217;t even hire them at all!</p>
<p><a href="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/team1.jpg"><img src="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/team1.jpg" alt="" title="team" width="402" height="264" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-661" /></a></p>
<p>For example, watch how you can get a full-blown Search Engine Optimization (SEO) service to get your webpages ranked in the Top 10 of Google.com by paying <strong>less than 5%</strong> of the thousands of dollars per month some SEO companies charge you for the same service. You do <strong>NOTHING</strong> other than provide the keywords and URLs you want to rank for those keywords &#8211; and your URLs will rise up in <a href="http://senze.com/business-blog/search-engines/the-holy-grail-of-search-engine-marketing.htm">Google</a>&#8217;s rankings in just a few weeks, completely on auto-pilot!</p>
<p>There are many other &#8220;Teams&#8221; like the above for the other aspects of your Internet Business &#8211; and you&#8217;ll discover what else they can do <strong>FOR YOU</strong> and your Internet Business.</p>
<p>Not only that &#8211; some of these Teams don&#8217;t require you to pay them at all, because they&#8217;re doing <strong>YOUR TASKS</strong> to make money from somewhere/someone else!</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s crazy and doesn&#8217;t make sense to you right now &#8211; but it&#8217;s absolutely true!</strong></p>
<p>So yes, you can <strong>FINALLY</strong> have <strong>TEAMS OF PEOPLE</strong> and <strong>ADVANCED</strong> Internet Marketing Systems working for your Internet Business 24/7, with overheads totaling only a few hundred dollars a month, and sometimes less than a hundred dollars a month &#8211; without the commitments and restrictions as an employer (as provided by the law) &#8211; as you are not one!</p>
<p>In addition, these teams of people work within a structured system so that they produce work <strong>CONSISTENTLY</strong> and <strong>CONTINUOUSLY</strong> &#8211; 2 of the most important aspects of Internet Marketing that most Internet Entrepreneurs are weak in.</p>
<p>They can do this because of certain concepts and tools they&#8217;ve created that enable them to leverage their time and efforts <strong>EXPONENTIALLY</strong>. When they can do this, you get their best efforts <strong>CONTINUOUSLY</strong>, at costs so low you&#8217;ll think you&#8217;re in heaven!</p>
<p><strong>I REPEAT (because it&#8217;s important that you get it):</strong><br />
4G Automated Internet Marketing Systems make it possible to produce many more successful Internet Entrepreneurs who can&#8217;t, or don&#8217;t want, or don&#8217;t have the skills, to get certain aspects of Internet Marketing done on their own, on a <strong>CONSISTENT</strong> basis, because they can now finally afford to use those systems that used to be only available to the big boys in Internet Marketing. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a <strong>REAL BREAKTHROUGH</strong> in Internet Entrepreneurship and you&#8217;re among the first to hear about it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people find Internet Businesses to be a very attractive way to get away from the rat race.</p>
<p>This is because an Internet Business promises the things that we all want:<br />
<a href="http://senze.com/freedom-unlimited" target="new"><img src="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/freedombanner.jpg" alt="" title="freedombanner" width="281" height="451" class="size-full wp-image-609" align="right"/></a></p>
<p><strong>1. Leverage</strong><br />
There are close to 2 billion Internet users now with many millions more joining every single month. If we&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>2. Freedom</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p>Of course, we&#8217;ll also need some know how, which we can acquire along the way.</p>
<p><strong>3. Cost-Effectiveness</strong><br />
It&#8217;s cheap. A domain name costs only $10/year, and hosting can be lower than $5/month. There aren&#8217;t many businesses we can start and maintain with that sort of investment. It&#8217;s truly easy to say goodbye to our bosses, although we want to be making our money first before doing so.</p>
<p><strong>4. It&#8217;s A Part Of Life</strong><br />
That&#8217;s because the Internet links us to the latest information, and we all need to be updated all the time. It&#8217;s also a huge libary of knowledge and the vast majority of the information we want can be found for free. It&#8217;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 <strong>every single day</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The Reality:</strong><br />
<strong>1. Many of us in fact <strong>have</strong> become successful Internet Entrepreneurs, in one way or another.</strong><br />
I have documented those ways in my <strong><em>classic</em></strong> Mini-Encyclopedia of Low-Cost, High-Profit Internet Business Models:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SenZe.com" target="new"><img src="http://www.senze.com/images/300-page-mini-e-banner.jpg"></img></a></p>
<p><strong>2. Many of us also failed to succeed as Internet Entrepreneurs</strong><br />
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 <strong>IMPLEMENTATION</strong> of the things required to succeed.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>The Success Factors For Freedom With An Internet Business</strong><br />
Note that we don&#8217;t just want to have a successful Internet Business &#8211; but one that gives us <strong>TOTAL FREEDOM</strong> from having to run, manage and maintain on our own.</p>
<p>Otherwise it&#8217;s no different from having a JOB &#8211; and that&#8217;s the very thing we&#8217;re trying to get away from.</p>
<p>There are many successful Internet Entrepreneurs who are tied to their Internet Business 24/7. They can&#8217;t take a vacation or even go to the movies during their waking hours for fear of missing a sale. </p>
<p>Or they&#8217;re overwhelmed with the multitude of roles they have to play that they get nothing done properly.</p>
<p><strong><em>This isn&#8217;t how an Internet Business should be.</em></strong></p>
<p>At the very least, not for me.</p>
<p>We should get leverage not only in how many people we can reach, but also in <strong>NOT</strong> having to do everything that is related to our Internet Business, on our own &#8211; and still make a handsome profit in the process.</p>
<p>With <strong>FREEDOM</strong> as the goal, let me now show you the essential elements of an Internet Business so that you know what&#8217;s involved to make money online, with the lowest amount of our money and with the least investment of our time.</p>
<p>To do this, I have to bring you back in time and see what are some of the most <strong>essential tools</strong> that we <strong>HAD</strong> to use to create a succesful Internet Business. </p>
<p>Then I&#8217;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 &#8211; <strong>AND</strong> still maintain our freedom with our Internet Business working for us 24/7, instead of the other way around.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s begin.</p>
<p><strong>1st Generation Internet Marketing System</strong><br />
These are the components required:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Website + E-Mail </strong></p>
<p>A website is basically our &#8220;permanent&#8221; 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&#8217;s host. </p>
<p>If we were selling products as a <strong>Merchant</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>If we were <strong>Affiliates</strong> 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&#8217; websites through our Affiliate Links or banners.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p><strong>The 2 Pillars</strong><br />
We knew Internet users then mainly used the Internet to check out:</p>
<p>1. Websites</p>
<p>2. E-mails</p>
<p>And because of that:</p>
<p><strong>1. On Websites:</strong><br />
* 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;</p>
<p>* 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;</p>
<p>* Specialized FTP software to upload webpages to our host server became an essential tool for making our webpages seen on our domain;</p>
<p>* Web design and maintenance services were much sought after since most people didn&#8217;t have design skills even if they were willing and able to create the webpages themselves;</p>
<p>* 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</p>
<p>* The web hosting industry exploded and generated billions in recurring revenue.</p>
<p><strong>SEO or Search Engine Optimization</strong><br />
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&#8217;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 &#8211; we could tap into the Search Directories/Search Engines&#8217; own traffic to get free prospects to our webpages.</p>
<p>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&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>SEO companies started forming to offer SEO services to website owners who didn&#8217;t have the time or knowledge or desire to do SEO activities and tasks on their own.</p>
<p><strong>Banner Ads</strong><br />
We could buy space on other webmasters&#8217; websites too. We could put a banner that linked back to our webpages, and tap into the existing traffic those other websites were getting. </p>
<p>This marketing method required us to invest some money and while some of us did it, there were more of us who didn&#8217;t, preferring to rely on free Search Engine traffic and other free marketing methods instead.</p>
<p><strong>2. On E-Mail:</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Mailing List Software</strong><br />
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&#8217; e-mail inboxes somehow.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This worked very well. Every time a promotional e-mail was sent out, there were bound to be sales made.</p>
<p><strong>E-Mail Broadcast And Sequential Autoresponder Systems</strong><br />
Because of the need to constantly use e-mail, mailing list software became more and more sophisticated. </p>
<p>Rather than e-mailing our Prospects manually, we could use a special mailing list software called a <a href="http://buildmailinglist.aweber.com">Sequential Autoresponder System</a> to <strong>AUTOMATICALLY</strong> e-mail our Prospects for us, with a series of pre-written e-mail messages uploaded to the Autoresponder System in advance.</p>
<p>So someone who just joined our mailing list would <strong>automatically</strong> 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. </p>
<p>We could also <strong>automatically</strong> 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 <strong>automatically</strong> exactly 5 days after this second automated e-mail had been sent to him.<br />
<a href="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/autoresponder-system.gif"><img src="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/autoresponder-system.gif" alt="" title="autoresponder-system" width="593" height="326" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-647" /></a></p>
<p>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 &#8220;unsubscribe&#8221; link at the bottom of our e-mails (which saved us from having to manually remove them).  </p>
<p>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&#8217;t have earlier. </p>
<p>Thus all Sequential Autoresponder Systems will usually come with a standalone Broadcast function as well &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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 &#8211; thus increasing our commission earnings even more.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>The Affiliate Program</strong></p>
<p>Then Amazon.com came onto the scene and brought with it the concept of the Affiliate Program.</p>
<p>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 <strong>unique</strong> Affiliate Links for each Affiliate they had in their program. </p>
<p>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 <strong>redirect</strong> the visitor to Amazon&#8217;s bookstore, <strong>bringing information</strong> about the unique Affiliate Link with it.  Thus Amazon would know <strong>who</strong> referred the customer and reward the right Affiliate accordingly. The reward would be a percentage of the selling price. </p>
<p>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 <strong>already</strong> in Amazon&#8217;s bank account and Amazon could pay its Affiliates their commissions from money it had <strong>already</strong> collected &#8211; thus making this arrangement an entirely <strong>risk-free</strong> one for Amazon itself.</p>
<p>Amazon&#8217;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&#8217;s products, Amazon ended up having a <strong>huge referral army</strong> it didn&#8217;t need to pay to maintain.</p>
<p>Smart Internet Entrepreneurs then started copying Amazon&#8217;s Affiliate Program system. Affiliate Program software then became all the rage among Merchants for the benefits it would bring them. </p>
<p>The <strong>Affiliate Program software</strong> 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.</p>
<p>To make things easier for Affiliates to market for us, we could create <strong>ready</strong> 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. </p>
<p>To get Affiliates to join us, we could also get our <strong>website visitors</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>The Affiliate Program could also be <strong>automated</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>From time to time, we could run contests for the best Affiliate to win something valuable, to create a <strong>spike in sales</strong> 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 &#8211; and serious Affiliates would then do whatever they needed to do to get the sales for us.</p>
<p>So the 1st Generation Internet Marketing System for the Merchant looks like the following:</p>
<p align="center"<strong>Website + E-Mail + Affiliate Program</strong></p>
<p>With a website that didn&#8217;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 &#8211; practically on auto-pilot.</p>
<p>And many of us did.</p>
<p>All we needed to do as Merchants was to focus on our product range, offers, Affiliate and Customer support. </p>
<p>All Affiliates needed to do was to look for more Merchants to represent. (Note they wouldn&#8217;t install an Affiliate Program on their domain as Affiliates wouldn&#8217;t be selling anything themselves.)</p>
<p><strong><em>For years, life was good.</em></strong></p>
<p>Until <strong><em>something else</em></strong> came along that sort of <strong>messed up</strong> the good life that we had.</p>
<p>Which led to something that I called the <strong>2nd Generation Internet Marketing System</strong>.</p>
<p>More on that in my next post!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been busy restructuring my businesses lately. In the process, I&#8217;ve hired 4 more new programmers (am looking at 2 more), set up 3 more dedicated servers (one of them should be ready any time now), with another one to follow soon. This makes a total of 8 servers overall &#8211; with more to come.</p>
<p>In the current economic downturn, some businesses are downsizing. I&#8217;m doing the exact opposite. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing what can be possible when you set your mind on achieving the &#8220;impossible&#8221; goals you&#8217;ve set for yourself. There will always be the naysayers who say it can&#8217;t be done. They&#8217;re right &#8211; they can&#8217;t do it because they say they can&#8217;t, so they don&#8217;t even try.</p>
<p>I say I can &#8211; and so I try. In so doing, whole new worlds of possibilities open up to me when they never did before (or they did, but I didn&#8217;t notice). This is my RAS (short for Reticular Activation System) at work. </p>
<p>And lo and behold &#8211; I could achieve my goals, just like I said I would. </p>
<p>Like magic.</p>
<p>So go ahead. Say you can&#8217;t do it. And you&#8217;ll be proven right just by doing nothing. Easy. </p>
<p>But that&#8217;s nothing to be proud of.</p>
<p>But go ahead and say you can do it &#8211; and find the ways to get it done. And you&#8217;ll be proven right again.</p>
<p>Except it&#8217;ll take some time and effort. But it&#8217;ll be well worth it.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s much to tell&#8230;</p>
<p>But right now I have much to do. And you have much to gain.</p>
<p>For now, I&#8217;ve having the time of my life becoming much more efficient AND much more effective. The two are not the same.</p>
<p>Things get done faster, with less effort, and at a lower cost. Most of all, everybody&#8217;s happy &#8211; and soon, YOU will be very happy too as I roll out my new suite of products and services that WILL make you money. </p>
<p><strong>Faster, Simpler and More Effective Than Ever.</strong></p>
<p>In the meantime, if you&#8217;re a <a href="http://twitter.com/senze" target="new">Twitter</a> fan (I&#8217;m slowly becoming one, although it&#8217;s a long process to get totally immersed with it with so many things happening around me), you need to check out this top-quality video below.</p>
<p>It provoked an almost violent reaction in my gut, resulting in a long fit of uncontrolled laughter. The more you understand what Twitter is and what it can do for you &#8211; the louder will be your laughter.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5DnVLrZX0HY&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5DnVLrZX0HY&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t quite get it &#8211; I highly recommend you get going with Twitter now, by following me there &#8211;> <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/senze" target="new">http://twitter.com/senze</a></strong>. Get an account, &#8220;follow me&#8221; and whoever you wish, so that you can be notified via Twitter.com on our updates. </p>
<p>Play around with it for a while, post your updates to it for your own followers to be notified. Twitter is like a mini-blog, except that you only have 140 characters to say your piece, and you&#8217;ll get it sooner or later. </p>
<p>Then re-visit this video once more &#8211; and your uncontrolled laughing fit will come as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.</p>
<p>Trust me on this.</p>
<p>And oh &#8211; the &#8220;creators&#8221; of this video also managed to market their web site at the same time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>best affiliate program software</strong> that is hosted on a 3rd party&#8217;s server that I talked about in my last post is <strong>SOLOBIS&#8217;s AffiliateRising</strong>.</p>
<p>It operates on just one simple principle that will help you the Merchant to achieve the most number of sales from your Affiliates.</p>
<p>That principle is as follows:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Go all out to put your Affiliates&#8217; best interests first.</strong></p>
<p>Yes, your Affiliates&#8217; best interests first &#8211; not your own.</p>
<p>The reason is simple. </p>
<p>When your Affiliates are happy with your Affiliate Program and the way you&#8217;re treating them, they&#8217;ll promote your products far more than your competitors who don&#8217;t care much for them. And there are more merchants that don&#8217;t really care too much for their Affiliates than you think!</p>
<p>SOLOBIS&#8217;s AffiliateRising <strong>Affiliate Program software</strong> helps you achieve this goal with the following top features:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Top Feature #1:<br />
Use Your Own Domain Name In Your Affiliate&#8217;s Affiliate Links! </strong></p>
<p>With most hosted Affiliate Program software, you&#8217;ll have to rely on the provider&#8217;s own domain name for your Affiliate tracking links. </p>
<p>For example, your Affiliates could be forced to use the following long Affiliate Link:</p>
<p><strong>http://www.AffiliateTrckSystem.com/s/t.php?aff_id=9330</strong></p>
<p>Not only does it look odd, your Affiliate&#8217;s Prospects will be wondering why he is linking to a 3rd party when he&#8217;s recommending YOUR product at your own domain at, say, GreatStuff.com. </p>
<p>However, if your domain is GreatStuff.com, SOLOBIS&#8217;s AffiliateRising Affiliate Program software allows your Affiliates to use the following type of Affiliate Link to link to your web site and still get tracked for their sales: </p>
<p><strong>http://www.GreatStuff.com?z=9ecd</strong></p>
<p>See the huge difference in appearance when you have your own domain in your Affiliates&#8217; Affiliate Links? </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Major Benefits For Your Affiliates:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. They link DIRECTLY to your domain, not to AffiliateRising! </strong><br />
Their Prospects&#8217; minds don&#8217;t raise any &#8220;flags&#8221; before they get a chance to visit your web site. </p>
<p><strong>2. Sales will likely increase from your Affiliates&#8217; referrals </strong><br />
Since the Affiliate Link doesn&#8217;t raise any &#8220;flags&#8221;, the referred Prospect may be more open to see what&#8217;s being sold to him. When the product page views increase, the product sales will naturally increase! </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Major Benefits For You:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Increase in Web Page Ranking In The Search Engines</strong><br />
Affiliate Links with the proper anchor text linking directly to your web site&#8217;s domain will help your web pages achieve a better ranking in the Search Engines over time &#8211; which will then bring you more and more free Search Engine traffic! You won&#8217;t get this benefit with a 3rd party Affiliate Link that re-directs to your domain, since all the Affiliate Links point to that 3rd party&#8217;s domain first &#8211; increasing that domain&#8217;s ranking instead! </p>
<p><strong>2. Brand your site to the max</strong><br />
With your domain in your Affiliates&#8217; respective Affiliate Links, your brand is displayed everywhere it&#8217;s seen. It&#8217;s one of the easiest and best branding methods available anywhere that also increases your traffic and sales at the same time!</p>
<p><strong>3. You&#8217;ll look really professional</strong><br />
Your Affiliates will love their Affiliate Links since it&#8217;s made with their interests at heart. </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Top Feature #2:<br />
Affiliate Links Don&#8217;t Look Like Affiliate Links! </strong></p>
<p>A link that looks like this</p>
<p><strong>http://www.AffiliateTrckSystem.com/s/t.php?aff_id=9330</strong></p>
<p>is obviously an Affiliate Link. </p>
<p>Because your domain is GreatStuff.com, what&#8217;s another URL with certain keywords like &#8220;Affiliate&#8221; and &#8220;Track&#8221; being used here, with something else called &#8220;aff_id&#8221; (which stands for &#8220;affiliate ID&#8221;), to refer to your web site? </p>
<p>Your Affiliates&#8217; Prospects aren&#8217;t dumb &#8211; and in any case, this type of link practically spells it out for them. </p>
<p>With AffiliateRising&#8217;s style of Affiliate Links that look like the following:</p>
<p><strong>http://www.GreatStuff.com?z=9ecd</strong></p>
<p>there&#8217;s no obvious connection with an Affiliate Program! It could well be a product web page, or even a Blog posting. There&#8217;s also no &#8220;aff_id&#8221; tags anywhere in that link to immediately give the game away to your Affiliates&#8217; Prospects. </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Major Benefits For Your Affiliates:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Their Affiliate Links don&#8217;t look like Affiliates Links</strong><br />
And so they&#8217;ll get more visits to your web site, and consequently, more sales.</p>
<p><strong>2. Because they don&#8217;t look like Affiliate Links, there&#8217;s less Affiliate Link Hijacking</strong><br />
Affiliate Link Hijacking occurs where a Prospect immediately signs up as your Affiliate once he knows that he&#8217;s following an Affiliate Link, and then buys from himself to deprive the referring Affiliate of his commissions. </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Major Benefits For You:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Your Affiliates get more sales for their efforts</strong><br />
They&#8217;ll be happy that you&#8217;re protecting their interests with their unique Affiliate Links. </p>
<p><strong>2. Your Affiliates will be more likely to sign up as your Affiliates</strong><br />
You get more Affiliates because you put their interests first.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Notice The Difference?</strong><br />
==================</p>
<p>Can you see the <strong>HUGE </strong>difference in the above approaches to 3rd party Affiliate Program software&#8217;s Affiliate Links? Your Affiliates will be some of the happiest puppies on earth &#8211; and consequently, you will be too.</p>
<p>But you can do much more. </p>
<p>Stay tuned!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been quite busy these past 2 weeks with a wisdom tooth extraction (ouch!), the Chinese New Year of the Rat celebrations (I recovered quickly enough to be able to feast on all the glorious food!), and the biggest reason of all:</p>
<p><strong>My 2nd son arrived safe and sound on February 18th 2008!</strong></p>
<p>He&#8217;s 10 days early. He&#8217;s supposed to arrive on the 28th, the same day as my birthday &#8211; but I guess he prefers not to share his birthday with his proud Dad!</p>
<p>He popped out via natural delivery which meant a quick healing process for Jasmin. Both baby and mother got discharged the very next morning.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a photo of him at just a few hours old:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://senze.com/business-blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/baby2.jpg" alt="Sen Ze's new baby" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve having a blast creating content for the Life Changing Party this December.</p>
<p>You have <strong>NO </strong>idea just how powerful and useful this Party can be for you &#8211; but you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to give too much away, but know that you&#8217;ll get more than your money&#8217;s worth in just 4 weeks&#8217; time. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not attending, you&#8217;ll be missing out. <strong>BIG TIME.</strong></p>
<p>Some attendees will even be able to create <strong>INSTANT </strong>products while there that they can sell at a later date (if they wish)!</p>
<p>Yes, their products can be created while they do what they do best at a Party (especially this Party) &#8211; and within a few minutes from the time they indicate to us that they want their product, they&#8217;ll have it in their hands!</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t spoil this for you by describing how this is done. It is <strong>VERY </strong>possible, and it will happen right before your very eyes.</p>
<p>Remember, you&#8217;ll want to come as you will be 5 years in the future, so you&#8217;ll definitely want to come as somebody who is <strong>actually good </strong>in something. </p>
<p>(Don&#8217;t come as the world 100m sprint champion if you&#8217;re 45 years old, weigh 200 pounds, have weak knees and you&#8217;ve never competed in any 100m sprints ever in your entire life. Seriously.)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re the selected few from this group, you&#8217;ll instantly be able to create something you&#8217;ve always wanted to create to make your millions but couldn&#8217;t for one reason or another &#8211; and you&#8217;ll be creating this product by simply showing everybody what you&#8217;re good at!</p>
<p>If you want to attend, get your tickets now:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.LifeChangingParty.com/tickets.shtml">http://www.LifeChangingParty.com/tickets.shtml</a></strong></p>
<p>The Early Bird price is no longer in effect, but you&#8217;re paying a bargain even at regular prices!</p>
<p>In the meantime, and on a different note, here&#8217;s a <strong>Special Report </strong>that you can download and read, and pass around to your friends. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a funny yet educational read that I&#8217;ve blogged about (now turned into a Special Report) that your friends will want to pass on too!</p>
<p>This Special Report pre-sells one of <strong>SOLOBIS</strong>&#8217;s main products. </p>
<p>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 <strong><a href="http://www.solobis.com/affiliate_program.asp">SOLOBIS Affiliate</a></strong> (if you haven&#8217;t already done so) and look under &#8220;Profit Center&#8221; > &#8220;Marketing Materials&#8221; > &#8220;Special Report&#8221; once you&#8217;re logged into the Member Area. </p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re using the same marketing concept as the customized Special Report created for the Life Changing Party. </p>
<p>This is probably the <strong>easiest Internet marketing method </strong>ever created &#8211; and very underused, so you&#8217;ll have a good time with it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most <strong>powerful marketing techniques </strong>ever involves the humble <strong>e-mail</strong> (the killer application for the Internet) and a <strong>Special Report </strong>in PDF format.</p>
<p>A Special Report can <strong>educate </strong>the reader on a topic, before leading him to a web site that sells a product related to that topic.</p>
<p>An <strong>educated reader </strong>would be more prepared to buy the product than a prospect who doesn&#8217;t really know in detail what your product is and how it can benefit him.</p>
<p>A Special Report in PDF format also, by virtue of its being in PDF format (instead of Word), carries more &#8220;weight&#8221; since not everybody knows how to create a PDF document, but everybody knows how to create a Word document. </p>
<p>When it carries more &#8220;weight&#8221;, it gets opened up by more recipients. This is crucial.</p>
<p>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 <strong>forwards </strong>the e-mail and attachment to his friends. This happens often because forwarding is super easy to do.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ve just marketed my web site to <strong>3 x 5 = 15 people</strong> with just a click of the &#8220;<strong>Send</strong>&#8221; button on my side, and the &#8220;<strong>Forward</strong>&#8221; button on my friends&#8217; side.</p>
<p><strong>For free.</strong></p>
<p>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 <strong>3 x 5 x 6 = 90 people</strong>, for free!</p>
<p>If I send it to 10 of my friends and the above forward rates remain the same, I could reach <strong>10 x 5 x 6 = 300 people!</strong></p>
<p>A really good Special Report can be forwarded by many parties down to many levels and within days can cover the <strong>entire planet!</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;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. </p>
<p>If any of them clicks on your Affiliate Link within the Special Report and purchases from the Merchant&#8217;s web site &#8211; you&#8217;ll earn your commissions!</p>
<p><em><strong>There are few easier or cheaper methods of marketing than the above.</strong></em></p>
<p>The only requirement is a good Special Report and a list of friends to send the Special Report to.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The only &#8220;problem&#8221; is that Merchants don&#8217;t usually provide you with a valuable and interesting Special Report that you can use for this purpose. </p>
<p>Or if they do, the replacement of the link is usually done with a piece of &#8220;rebranding&#8221; 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&#8217;t easy to do, and most Affiliates don&#8217;t use it, thus limiting its impact.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;rebranding&#8221; or &#8220;customization&#8221; tool to increase its usage.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.LifeChangingParty.com" target="new">Life Changing Party</a></strong> is such a Merchant. It has:</p>
<p>1. Its own valuable and interesting Special Report.</p>
<p>2. A free Affiliate Program that you can join within minutes.</p>
<p>3. A strategic partnership with <a href="http://www.SOLOBIS.com" target="new"><strong>SOLOBIS</strong> </a>to provide you with a <strong>FREE </strong>Special Report Customization Service that automatically changes the regular link to the Life Changing Party within the Special Report to <strong>your own Life Changing Party Affiliate Link!</strong></p>
<p>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!</p>
<p><strong>To get started, follow the instructions below:</strong></p>
<p>1. Click <a href="http://www.affiliaterising.com/s/signup.php?lid=28d2bd7a" target="new">here </a>to become an Affiliate for the Life Changing Party for free. Tracking of your sales is done by the AffiliateRising Affiliate Program software &#8211; one of <strong>SOLOBIS</strong>&#8217;s most powerful new applications!</p>
<p>2. Click <a href="http://www.SOLOBIS.com/csraff/lcp" target="new">here </a>to customize the Special Report with your own Affiliate Link, in just a few clicks. There&#8217;s no software download required!</p>
<p>3. Download and save the customized Special Report into your computer.</p>
<p>4. Draft your e-mail, telling your friends to read the Special Report.</p>
<p>5. Attach the Special Report to your e-mail. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>5. Click the &#8220;<strong>Send</strong>&#8221; button.</p>
<p>6. And you&#8217;re done!</p>
<p><strong>Ama<font color="red">z</font>ing</strong>, no?</p>
<p>The Life Changing Party Early Bird promotion prices ends on <strong>November 30th 2007</strong> &#8211; just enough time for your Prospects to decide to go before the prices go up! Time to get going with your promotion now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The World&#8217;s First Personal Domain Name Directory at www.OMNICITI.com now has more than 1,000 listings of domains from around the world that contain the owners&#8217; name&#8230;</p>
<p>Check it out below:</p>
<p align="center"><strong><a href="http://www.OMNICITI.com" target="new">www.OMNICITI.com</a></strong></p>
<p>It lists some unique occupations too. There&#8217;s a Lexicographer, a Polar Expeditor, a Calligrapher and an Apologist (!).</p>
<p>What&#8217;s an Apologist? Somebody who apologises for a living?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the definition, as found in wikipedia:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Apologists are authors, writers, editors of scientific logs or academic journals and leaders, who during their lifetimes were known as radicals and extremists for taking on the points in arguments, conflicts or positions that were during their eras either placed under popular scrutinies or viewed under persecutory examinations. The term comes from the Greek word apologia (απολογία), meaning defense of a position against an attack.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting, no? </p>
<p>And click on &#8211;> <a href="http://www.omniciti.com/search.php?what=apologist">OMNICITI Personal Domain Name Directory Search</a> to find one such Apologist!</p>
<p>Do you know of anybody with his own domain name consisting of his own name who should be listed? Let him or her know about OMNICITI now. It&#8217;s also a great resource if you&#8217;re looking for people to work with you on your projects as they take themselves seriously enough to have a personal domain for themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s a simple and potent way to get noticed by anybody &#8211; no matter who you may be?</p>
<p><strong>Get to know Paris Hilton and walk next to her, of course.</strong></p>
<p>(Yes, it&#8217;s a simple way, but I didn&#8217;t say it was easy.)</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m not giving you theories either. This one really works.</p>
<p>You see, once upon a time, I looked for a beautiful celebrity actress to &#8220;star&#8221; in a project of mine.</p>
<p>She was supposed to be my guest for one of the biggest events ever created in the world which I executed about 8 1/2 years ago that actually made the CNN News worldwide.</p>
<p>(Yep, a friend of mine on a business trip in Japan saw it on TV and asked me about it 8 years later.)</p>
<p>She graciously said yes, but I needed to tell her the details so that she would know exactly what she was getting involved with (it was kinda dangerous, so it was in her best interest to know that).</p>
<p>And so I went to her office, and she said let&#8217;s discuss it at one of the restaurants nearby.</p>
<p>And so I walked next to her, side by side, heading towards her favorite restaurant.</p>
<p>And on the way&#8230; </p>
<p><strong>I had my 15 minutes of fame.</strong></p>
<p>People recognized her immediately from the TV series she was starring in. They called out to her using her character&#8217;s name (which was &#8220;Lucy&#8221;) &#8211; as if that was her real name.</p>
<p>A few got up close and started speaking to her as if they knew her from her past (they didn&#8217;t). </p>
<p>Another asked how her &#8220;friend&#8221; was &#8211; but this was her &#8220;friend&#8221; on the show.</p>
<p>Whoever they were and whatever they asked her &#8211; they were all <strong>looking at me </strong>as if I were a celebrity myself.</p>
<p>By simply walking next to her (and of course talking to her) &#8211; <strong>I was suddenly bestowed with a &#8220;status&#8221; I never had before.</strong></p>
<p>People were smiling at her &#8211; <strong>and me</strong>.</p>
<p>People were paying attention to her &#8211; <strong>and me</strong>.</p>
<p>People were talking to her &#8211; and they wanted to talk <strong>to me</strong> (I guess probably to ask me what my &#8220;relationship&#8221; with her was).</p>
<p>All of them had no idea who I was &#8211; but they were looking at me like I had every right to be there for some reason (and of course, I did).</p>
<p>It helped that her TV character was that of a friendly, girl next door &#8211; and so it translated to her in real life (she is in fact a friendly girl next door, although it would be hard to find one of her beauty).</p>
<p><em><strong>It was an amazing experience.</strong></em></p>
<p>Because of all the attention, she then suggested I hopped into her car to get to another restaurant nearby, which I did.</p>
<p>And guess what?</p>
<p>People recognized her on the road.</p>
<p>Bikers stopped next to her car at the lights, and waved at her.</p>
<p>Cars in front of her adjusted their rear view mirrors, and made signs with their hands that spelled out the TV Station her series was seen on. </p>
<p>She was used to all the attention, but she obliged with her best smile and told me it was happening to her every single day.</p>
<p>And of course, by just being seated next to her &#8211; I was given some attention too.</p>
<p><strong>I smiled back.</strong></p>
<p>As if that seat was the most natural place in the world for me to be in.</p>
<p>(Wouldn&#8217;t you?)</p>
<p>Aligning yourself with somebody the public has a fascination for is the fastest way to being noticed although I didn&#8217;t plan on being noticed that way. My event was big enough on its own for me to have my turn as the &#8220;celebrity&#8221; a few weeks later.</p>
<p>I then felt what she was feeling. </p>
<p>Even the phone repairman recognized me as he was fixing my new phone line at my premises.</p>
<p><strong>But that&#8217;s another story.</strong></p>
<p>This is the reason why companies pay big bucks to personalities like <strong>Tiger Woods </strong>(golf) and <strong>Michael Schumacher</strong> (F1 racing) to endorse their products.</p>
<p>By associating their products with those personalities, the companies are hoping that what the personalities are in their fans&#8217; minds will be rubbed off onto the products themselves (&#8220;excellence&#8221;, &#8220;world-class&#8221;, &#8220;professional&#8221;, etc).</p>
<p>Or at the very least, their fans will find the celebrities&#8217; endorsement of the product something worth listening to.</p>
<p>Now not everybody is as lucky as I was to be able to get in touch with &#8220;celebrities&#8221; for &#8220;projects&#8221; like mine.</p>
<p>However, this &#8220;<strong>Alignment</strong>&#8221; concept works not just with people, but with &#8220;things&#8221; too.</p>
<p>If you drove a big expensive car &#8211; you were aligning yourself with the prestige that car had on its own.</p>
<p>The car and what it was perceived as would be rubbed off onto you, automatically.</p>
<p>Even if you didn&#8217;t own it yourself, as you had borrowed it from a friend.</p>
<p>Especially when you acted as if you owned it.</p>
<p><strong>Makes sense to you?</strong></p>
<p>The good news is that you can use the same concept to promote yourself.</p>
<p>And you don&#8217;t have to align yourself with an expensive &#8220;thing&#8221; or celebrity either.</p>
<p>There are many &#8220;things&#8221; around you today that give off different levels of &#8220;prestige&#8221; and &#8220;status&#8221; even when they&#8217;re inexpensive to get.</p>
<p>Because your Prospects <strong>DON&#8217;T </strong>know they&#8217;re inexpensive by virtue of the fact that they&#8217;re not &#8220;known&#8221; to be inexpensive.</p>
<p>You just have to know what those things are.</p>
<p>The Internet, the World Wide Web, E-Commerce, Information Technology &#8211; these are different labels for similar things.</p>
<p>Your Prospects have heard of <strong>billions </strong>of dollars being spent in those areas by big corporations for the big rewards they can get in return.</p>
<p>The media (<strong>newspapers, TV, radio</strong>) devote a huge number of pages and airtime to IT and IT-related topics because they are in awe of it. </p>
<p>They are in awe of it because their readers (and your Prospects) are themselves in awe of technology, being soaked in its bath of gadgets every single day with computers, the Internet, mobile or cell phones, TV, radio and others.</p>
<p>Thus by simply aligning yourself with things your Prospects are in awe of &#8211; they&#8217;re suddenly taking notice of you more than ever before due to the &#8220;rubbing off&#8221; effect.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s one of the reasons why you <strong>MUST </strong>have a <strong>www.YourName.com </strong>on your business card.</p>
<p>Complete with e-mail addresses like <strong>YourFirstName@YourName.com </strong>- just like <strong>John Smith </strong>does with his <strong>john@johnsmith.com</strong> address. </p>
<p>A web and e-mail address like the above is all about <strong>YOU </strong>- who is now aligned with the Internet at its very core level.</p>
<p>And practically <strong>NONE </strong>of your Prospects are like you yet!</p>
<p>Whereas on any given day you&#8217;re just John Smith &#8211; from today onwards you&#8217;re <strong>www.JohnSmith.com </strong>who can be contacted at <strong>john@johnsmith.com</strong>.</p>
<p>Can you hear &#8220;<strong>WOW</strong>&#8221; in your Prospects&#8217; heads?</p>
<p>You&#8217;re walking with &#8220;<strong>Paris Hilton&#8221;</strong> (the World Wide Web in this case) side by side, who is calling your name (&#8220;<strong>www.YourName.com</strong>&#8220;).</p>
<p><strong>And you think you won&#8217;t be noticed?</strong></p>
<p>Even though it&#8217;ll cost you less than $10/month for this privilege? (Your Prospects don&#8217;t know this!)</p>
<p>Wonderful things happen to you when you <strong>ARE </strong>noticed in a good way. </p>
<p>This is the law of the universe and you can&#8217;t stop it from happening.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;re able to easily tap into it &#8211; with just a few minutes of your time!</p>
