A Few Things I’ve Learned About Doing Business On The Internet!

A few things I’ve learned about doing business on the Internet!

I’ve learned that there are more programs, and ebooks available than I have money to purchase.

I’ve learned that many, many of the programs and ebooks are simply a rehash of another program, or ebook.

I’ve learned that there are many different sites where by joining a program as a free member. Most, but not all of the ebooks that I’ve spent my money to purchase; can be downloaded for free.

I’ve learned that some, not all of the ebooks that can be purchased are a total waste of time.

I’ve learned that it is possible to download so many ebooks; that either they don’t get read, or you’ll spend so much time reading them that you don’t get anything else done.

I’ve also learned that some of the ideas expressed in some of them are so important, that if you don’t take the time to read them; you’ll be spending not only dollars, but time needlessly.

I’ve learned: that you can spend so much time promoting so many different products; that none of the promotions get enough time to be successful. That shotgun marketing is a losing proposition.

I’ve learned there are more Internet Gurus than I have time to study, and they got that way because they focused their energy.

I’ve learned that no matter how attractive the next program, ebook appears; that you must narrow your vision to the one best program you have in your arsenal, and give it 100% of your energy if you expect to succeed.

I’ve learned that without an optin list, you’re dead.

And last, and most important: I’ve learned; you must discover your niche, and work it until it’s a success…

Spelling Power

Spelling Power

by: Kathleen JerauldBrack

It can make you or break you.

The spell checker on your computer is great, but it doesn’t always pick up soundalikes. Their, there, they’re for instance. How important is it? For the majority of people who can spell it makes all the difference. In one instance, I recently observed an employer scan an applicant’s resume remarking delightedly that the person had just about all the credentials she was looking for; but then along came the spelling errors. The employer’s eyes glazed over and the resume was tossed on the outbound stack.

Spelling errors seem to be rampant, and can be as bad as a stain on your shirt when dressing for an interview. And before you shrug me off as a frustrated old English teacher (I’m not), you might want to consider that if all you have are your words to represent you on the Internet and you don’t choose and spell them carefully, you are quite apt to lose your credibility.

Although regular use of a dictionary will help, and a spell checker will find many, the soundalikes are quite elusive. Soundalikes are called homophones. They are words that sound the same but have different meanings. For example: there their they’re; meet meat; stares stairs; fare – fair; herd – heard; currant – current; buy – by – bye; rain rein – reign. Its and it’s are similar errors, but for different reasons.

You can buy a grammar book in paperback for about $5.00. Most of them have the common spelling and grammatical error pages right in the front. If you familiarize yourself with those, and it reflects in your articles and web pages, then you have just made a huge step in giving yourself a more knowledgeable and competent appearance.

For a business person, it can make all the difference.
