I admit it… I was a little nervous.

By Derek Gehl 

Well, I did it!

As promised, last week I created a money-making Internet business 100% from scratch.

Ok, so that may strike you as no big deal, since my business IS Internet marketing…

But here’s the clincher:

I did it all in FOUR DAYS in four unscripted video “episodes” to prove that once you know the basic steps of building an Internet business, you really can do it inside of a week if you apply them right!

I started with NOTHING.

How a Simple “Thank-You” Can Boost Your Profits By 23% or MORE

This one’s for everyone who already has a website…

When someone buys your product, what do you send them? (Other than your product or newsletter, of course…

Do you send them a simple transactional email that’s basically just a receipt acknowledging their purchase?

… Or do you send them an email full of useful information about the product they’ve just bought — along with an invitation to buy even MORE stuff from you?

Purchase confirmation emails are a GREAT marketing opportunity. Not only do they boost the credibility of your company — they’re also the PERFECT chance to introduce people to other products or services you offer.

Keep your eye on the ball!

By Dwain Jeworski

“Lord Ronald … flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.” — Stephen Leacock

As an entrepreneur you want to make money as quickly as you can.

… Sometimes this translates into chasing after EVERY opportunity that comes your way — and never following through to completion.

Does this sound familiar?

How many websites have you partly completed before moving on to the next potential opportunity? How many business opportunities have you bought into but never seen through to completion?

It’s a curse that plagues many of us… but fortunately, it’s easily solved, as long as you’re conscious of it.

The 10 Key Ingredients of Successful Salescopy

If there’s only ONE THING you need to know about building a successful website, it’s this:

>>Your words are THE most important part of your site!<<

In the online world, you don’t have a real-live salesperson to greet your visitors, relate to them, and then sell them on the benefits of your product.

Instead, the WORDS on your site must perform this key role.

They have to speak in a language your customers understand, and be able to understand exactly what your customers want — then convince them your product is exactly what they’re looking for!

If You Want BIG Profits, You’ve Got To Think SMALL

By Dwain Jeworski

Recently, we got an email from a reader named Trish, who wanted to know if she could base a money-making website on her offline business. (She’s a personal life coach.)

We get emails like this all the time…

People share their interests with us, then ask us if they could base a profitable online business on them.

But the problem with many of the ideas people share with us is the markets they’re thinking of targeting are WAY too big!

They say they’re interested in natural health… or weight loss… or online marketing… or golf, for example.

4 Simple Steps To Turn $200 a Month Into $1000 a Month

By Derek Gehl

Every once in a while, a reader sends me an email that says something like this…

“Derek, help! I’ve done everything you’ve told me to do in your course and emails — and still my website only makes $200 a month! I need to be making at least $1000 a month! WHAT SHOULD I DO???”

Well… if you really and truly have implemented all of the business strategies I recommend in my “Insider Secrets” course, and you’re still generating only $200 a month instead of your target of $1000 a month — then my advice is this…

Step #1. Build another $200 website

Step #2. Then build another $200 website

Step #3. Then another

Step #4. And another

… And that’s it!

Now, some of you might think I’m joking… but I’m not.

5 Ways To Accelerate Your Earnings During An Economic Slowdown

By Derek Gehl

 These days, the TV news shows are full of them…

… “Doom and gloom” stories about the current economic slowdown, sparked by the mortgage mess in the U.S.

Now, I don’t mean to make light of a serious situation. I know that a lot of very big companies have been caught with their pants down, so to speak.

And I know that many good, honest folk have lost a lot of money — or even their jobs — as a result of the current crisis, through absolutely no fault of their own.

But that DOESN’T mean you should hide your head in the sand and wait for “the good times to roll” again before you embark on a new business venture!

The truth is, NOW is the best time to grow your business!

Businesses that are launched in hard times are better equipped to survive than the ones that grow bloated and fat during times of surplus spending.

Your “Miracle Moment” Is Waiting for YOU!

By Derek Gehl

Don’t you love it when a project you’ve been slaving over for months turns out BETTER than you ever thought possible?

I know… it doesn’t happen very often.

Almost always, there are unforeseen glitches or a last-minute crisis to deal with.

But when that miracle happens and everything goes off without a hitch, it makes you feel like a real master!

I feel like we experienced a real miracle here at IMC last week, when we launched the new 2008 version of our best-selling “Insider Secrets” course.

As part of the launch, we gave a special FREE GIFT to the first 300 course purchasers… access to our brand-new Internet start-up system, “BeBiz!”

Quite frankly, “BeBiz” is the most complete Internet business builder ever created.

It lets you create your own unique website with all the resources you need to find your own profitable niche… “how-to” training, and set-up wizards you need to “point and click” your way to a money-making online business!
