Surviving the Sales Page

Anna — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:21:05 +0000

Some of our most valuable products were once offered to us from that very thing which we so often cite as an endless annoyance: the sales page. Without forswearing sales pages altogether, how does one still absorb the information one needs, without becoming completely overwhelmed?

I’m Alive

Anna — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:09:14 +0000

I wish I could post on this blog every day. I have no lack of lists of things I would like to post about, and I have none of that “difficulty coming up with ideas on what to write about” that some bloggers run into. I might have that problem with some other blogs, but not this one.

Holly’s Birthday, GVO, and Lots of Commotion

Anna — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:42:35 +0000

It’s Holly Mann’s birthday tomorrow! Happy Birthday Holly! :) :) :) One thing that’s great about Holly is that she doesn’t go jumping up and down and chasing after every new shiny toy online. So, when she does get excited about something, we tend to take her pretty seriously.

Building from Nothing, not Building from $5,000

Anna — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:27:10 +0000

I would never ever recommend that someone new to Internet Marketing spend large sums for a coaching program, software package, or any other huge investment into online business. When I first began working online I did invest a bit more money than I had earned – that’s a bit hard to avoid in the beginning when you are still figuring things out, getting your sites up, and maybe making a few pennies on pay-per-click ads.

Bribed and Happy about it

Anna — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:17:04 +0000

I just ordered something and I'm actually kind of excited about it. Okay to start off, I have to admit, I was bribed. The product owner is giving away free coaching MP3s for anyone who can pay shipping and handling of around $9.97. But instead of just giving away the MP3 files, or a CD, he is giving away the MP3 player as well. Not only that but his product looks USEFUL!
