Hub You - 10 4-Letter Words You Need In Your Vocabulary
How Do I Know If I've Been Bugged? re expensive but it seems to be affecting the cost of digital products too.Are you a potential target?1. If eavesdropping on anything you say, write, or do could increase someone else's wealth or influence, then the answer is yes, you are a potential target.2. Others know your confidential business or professional trade secrets.This is the most obvious indicator of covert eavesdropping activities. Theft of confidential information is a multi-billion dollar underground industry in the United States. Often the loss of your secrets will show up in very subtle ways so you should always trust your instincts in this matter. When your competitors, associates or co-workers know things that are obviously private, or the media finds out about things they should not know, then it is reasonable to suspect technical eavesdrop True, there are many that equate high prices with quality and that's 1 of the reasons people charge for their products. (Of course they want to make money too.) The important thing to remember is that you must provide enough quality in your product that people will feel that they've received more than they've paid for and you must keep the price at a level where you'll make the most sales. --------- Cash -"money or its equivalent (as a check) paid for goods or services at the time of purchase or delivery" This is what most online business people are working so hard to get. And believe me, it's getting harder all the time otherwise there wouldn't be so many "big names" promoting each others products and so many articles being written about why you have to "buy things" to make money. However, while you are working to make some "cash" you have to remember what many have forgotten. You first have to have something that will "help" others and then "sell" it at a "cost" they can afford. --------- As you go out and build your online business you need to remember al Choosing and Using Your Desk When you were growing up did your parents teach you not to use 4-letter words?Whether you are working at home or in the office, your desk is a major key to reducing stress and improving productivity. Make sure that it is not only a place you can function efficiently, but just as important, a place you like to be! A functional desk that is ugly can be as much of a deterrent to productivity as a beautiful desk that is not functional. I have spent nearly twenty years with people at their desks. One thing has become vehemently clear. Your desk can be your greatest enemy or your best friend. Take a good look at your desk. How does it make you feel? Are you comfortable there? Can you do what you need to do there easily? How does it look to other people? Does it reflect the message you want to give to the world about your work and your values? Mine sure did. Oh, they didn't mean "all" 4-letter words, just a select few but those were a real no-no in my house. Well, today I am going to list 10 4-letter words that you should not only be using but should be living if you want your online business to succeed. ---------- Work - "sustained physical or mental effort to overcome obstacles and achieve an objective or result" While this is a word we would all like to get out of our vocabulary it's 1 that we can't avoid - especially when you're first starting your online business. There are no true "get rich" schemes or programs although there are many that make that offer. And it's true that someone does "get rich" with them - the ones who "worked" to set them up! --------- Time - " the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues" While we would all like less "work", we would like to have more "time" - there's just never enough of it! But in online businesses there is no such thing as "instant". Yes, there are those who promise "instant" results but the truth is - it takes "time" (sometimes a lot of it) to achieve those "instant" results. --------- Plan - "a method for achieving an end" Unfortunately, most people who start online business don't understand what a "plan" is or how to create one. We are all so busy learning and trying new things that we forget we need to map out the steps we need to take to build a successful online business. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, there are many ways to build a successful online business. The trick is identifying the 1 that will work for your business and then staying with it until you succeed. --------- Give - "to put into the possession of another for his or her use" Most of us have heard the saying, "It's better to give than receive." And it's true! To be a successful online business person we must continually give the best we have to offer. We must "give" quality information, products or services to prove our worth to potential customers. And if we provide something worthy of being shared, we can have our gift spread the word about our business (also known as viral marketing). --------- Sell - "to deliver something to another for money" Most people don't like to "sell" things. In fact, many of us have been taught to be wary of salespeople. It's because we don't want to "sell" that there are programs promising "no selling required." But before you leap to 1 of those offers, stop and think about it. If no one has to sell anything how can money be made? The sad fact is, you have to "sell" something to make money online. When you recommend products or services, when you make suggestions, when you negotiate partnerships, you're selling. So if your online business is to succeed, you must learn to sell! --------- Help - "to change for the better" Helping others is what it's all about! While a successful online business must sell things it must also provide information, products or services that "help" others. If you're not truly trying to "help" others those who get what you're offering will soon realize you're just trying to make a buck by selling them things. --------- Free - "not costing or charging anything" While I like "free" as much as anybody I'll tell you right now that there's not much on the internet that's really "free"! We can get "free" websites, ebooks, reports, autoresponders, hosting, traffic, etc all without paying money for them. But we usually do have to give something in return - our email information. Because most people think of "free" as not costing money we can offer "free" items in exchange for their email address. And getting a list of those who accept "free" items is 1 of the basic building blocks for a successful online business. --------- List - "a series of email addresses to whom you have permission to send email " If you haven't heard, "the money is in the list", then let me be the first to tell you. However, while there may be money in the list of those who've accepted your offer of a "free" gift, the successful online business person is collecting the emails of those who've made purchases because that's the "list" that produces all those "see how much I made" results. --------- Cost - "the amount or equivalent paid or charged for something" Have you noticed how everything seems to be getting more and more expensive? With the rise of gas prices we know why physical products are becoming more expensive but it seems to be affecting the cost of digital products too. True, there are many that equate high prices with quality and that's 1 of the reasons people charge for their products. (Of course they want to make money too.) The important thing to remember is that you must provide enough quality in your product that people will feel that they've received more than they've paid for and you must keep the price at a level where you'll make the most sales. --------- Cash -"money or its equivalent (as a check) paid for goods or services at the time of purchase or delivery" This is what most online business people are working so hard to get. And believe me, it's getting harder all the time otherwise there wouldn't be so many "big names" promoting each others products and so many articles being written about why you have to "buy things" to make money.

You first have to have something that will "help" others and then "sell" it at a "cost" they can afford. --------- As you go out and build your online business you need to remember al Increase Your Sales from Your Current Clients nstant" results but the truth is - it takes "time" (sometimes a lot of it) to achieve those "instant" results.As business owners and sales professionals, we know that calling new prospects and turning them into clients is a vital part of creating a client base. These clients are called your “low hanging fruit.” They’re right there; ready to be “picked.” They know you, they trust you, and they’re satisfied with your product or service. They’re your current customers. All you have to do is pick up the phone, make an appointment, and meet with them.Here are 6 steps that will lead your current customers to giving your more business.Organize your Current Client Call List. Make a list of all current clients and review their client history. Write on your list how long they’ve been with you, how much they’ve spent, what product or se --------- Plan - "a method for achieving an end" Unfortunately, most people who start online business don't understand what a "plan" is or how to create one.

In some cases these change can be quite amazing, but more frequently they are small and subtle. When a ZIP code changes its definition it does not change its name like a census zone. The ZIP code that was called '63301' in St. Charles County, Mo in 1985 has since been broken into first two and now three ZIP codes. These new codes were not called 63301.01, 63301.02 and 63301.03; they were called 63301, 63303 and 63304. So what is referred to as 63301 today represent about a third of the area that it referred to in 1985.The new code 63303 did not exist 12 years ago and it has already changed its definition so that it now represents about partially of the area it inclu Most people don't like to "sell" things.

But WAY too many advertisers claim to be the lowest price in town. (And remember, only one is telling the truth.) All the rest are just lying to make a sale. The thing is that customers can smell the desperation when you promise the lowest price. You employees are rarely happy to hand over bargain deal. And the look on your face as you write out the discount slip. They'll never come back again.So why DID you throw profits in trash with that policy right there with your Yellow Page ad design?But on the other hand, why would you make offers that include valuable items or services that would seem to loose profits?
