If you’ve ever wanted to buy and own a business that is a thousand…five thousand…even ten thousand miles away, and be completely “hands off”, where you do nothing but cash checks for a living, then I’ve got good news for you.

When I used to put on seminars on buying businesses people would always ask me, “can you manage it from a distance?”

My answer has always been, “Yes!”

In fact, in the past 25 years especially, I have not worked hands-on for any company. If you want to keep from getting grey and old before your time, consider not being a “hands-on” manager, because one of the best things that happens is you don’t have people bugging you all the time since you’re not there.

When you buy a large enough business with investors, there’s a manager there that takes care of the problems. Plus, if you want to buy multiple businesses (and make some real money), it’s a very difficult thing to do when you’re personally running any one of them yourself.

Frankly, it’s amazing how once you pull away and don’t run those businesses, how easy it is to buy and own multiple companies. You’re actually going to have less stress running five companies where you’re “hands-off” than the average guy with the little donut shop.

People sometimes find this hard to believe, but it’s the truth. It’s been my experience with the companies I run. So this is not based on some fantasy I have or something that I read in a book. It is based on actual experience. If you do it right, and are hands-off, you can own businesses in different countries and never deal with even a lick of stress. That’s what the managers you have in place are for.

A common marketing technique being taught by a number of different groups and marketing teams is the hard push tactic, where you give the prospect no real chance to refuse, create a massive sense of urgency and try and ensure they have no choice but to do as you wish.

I encountered this the other day with a member of the Dream Team marketing group. Now I am not in anyway trying to trash this course as I understand for some it is a good learning curve, however I have it on authority of another member that they do teach this technique.

For me it began with a couple of emails after I had enquired about the course. I was interested to see how they were teaching people to bring in 20 to 30 people a week into whatever business you were promoting. I asked that the person selling the course call me before 5pm to let me know more details. I didn’t hear anything further until I walked in from being out in the wind and rain at 7.30pm, soaked to the skin and the phone rang. My dinner was in the oven and would be another 20 minutes and the cats and dog needed feeding.

The guy asked what I was promoting and of course said what a great company it was and how the course he was going to introduce me to could explode my business. He said there was a live conference call at 8.00pm that night. I explained that I was interested but that I couldn’t really attend the call that night. The guy then got very pushy saying that if I was serious about my business I would miss by dinner and attend. I said I was not prepared to do that but would attend another call if there was one in a day or so. I was told that there was no further calls for a week or so and my place had to be specially reserved. I was basically told that I would never succeed in online business if my dinner came first and he hung up.

The next morning I emailed him to say I was no longer interested in pursuing the course as I had been totally put off by his attitude. I received a response saying he was sorry but that is the sales technique he had been taught on the course and it usually worked. Despite what he had said the day before there was another call that night.

I attended this apparent ‘live’ call to find it was a pre-recorded scripted call giving very little information and all hype and no real content. All I really discovered is that if I paid around $1000 for the course I could attend 4 live calls which would be at around 1am GMT, be taught how to get my own website which I already have and no real details of what the training entailed. I emailed the guy mentioned above to say I was not really interested as ‘live’ call had been a waste of time and totally uninspiring and that I did not think I would get anything out of it. His response - that I was a failure and would never succeed and I had wasted his time.

Now I have since talked to a couple of others involved in the Dream Team and both have been very friendly and pleasant but both acknowledged that the course probably wasn’t for me and that the hard push tactic was one of the techniques taught (as well as memorising sales scripts for the phone etc).

This tactic and the guy’s attitude totally put me off. This did not create a sense of urgency but left me feeling I was being bullied into something. I would think very carefully before using this hard
push idea to gain sales…yes try and close the sale but not by bullying your prospect.

If you use “case studies” in your ads and sales letters, and if you aren’t getting the response you’re hoping for, then here’s a little “technique” that can radically increase your response overnight.

The problem with case studies is they tend to sound dry and boring. If not in content, then certainly in the mere phrase “case study.”

And if something sounds boring — like it’s going to be a chore to even read it — then you are going to lose readership and ultimately sales.

But, what if there was a way to make those case studies truly interesting and even fascinating for your readers? A way to write those studies in a way that gets people not only interested in what you’re saying…but practically drooling over what you say?

Believe it or not, there is a way. And it’s so simple, you’ll kick yourself for not doing it earlier.

Anyway, here it is: Instead of writing about “case studies” in your copy…tell wild and fascinating stories.

In other words, don’t say:

“…take the case study we did with Mr. Jones who used our widget to increase his sales and add more clients to his roster…”

Instead say:

“Take Mr. Jones, for example. This normally shy, “introverted” man used our widget to quadruple his client base in less than an hour…simply going door-to-door. Here’s what he did…”

See the difference?

It’s like night and day.

Most people hate to be lectured or preached to. But everyone loves a good story. Especially if it makes a point that is relevant to their lives, their needs and their situations.

With setting your IT support rates, there is no ethical dilemmas. You need to charge what is going to make you have a successful, viable business. You are not going to make a living at $50 an hour. It’s that simple.

Many Micro Small Businesses Need Qualified IT Support

A lot of micro small businesses may have more than 10 employees and they may even have a dedicated server. While they recognize that a lot of the sources that are cheap, they also know you get what you pay for with IT support.

Focus on the micro small businesses that have the willingness and the ability to pay considerably more. You need to select based on people’s ability to pay.

Its kind of like an auction where you are saying “Ok raise your hand if you are willing to pay this.” Ok I’m not interested in you. “Now, the next increment up, raise your hand if you are willing to pay this.”

Let The Client Decide

It is a very simple process if you charge the same amount for small businesses as you do for your sweet spot small businesses. Let the micro small businesses that need sophisticated support decide whether they need you and can afford you.

If they think they can get by with someone who is just a screwdriver technician, then fine, let them do that. If they think they can get by waiting for a volunteer to get there or relying on the $6 an hour store clerk, let them do that.

More Complicated Needs Equal a Higher Level of IT Support

But when firewalls and Y-5 and dedicated internet access and real servers enter the equation, then most of those low part sources fall apart at the seams. And they need a more sophisticated solution.

There’s absolutely no reason why you cannot be charging micro small businesses $100 or more per hour for IT support. It all depends on your business model and how aggressive you want to be. You need to decide whether you want to get a ton of volume versus getting very profitable volume.

What to Look Out For:

Copyright - you absolutely must check on this - violating someone’s copyright is not clever and can be a really expensive mistake not to mention seriously damaging your reputation. Is it really public domain? All those lawyers fees can really mount up when checking into all this but believe me, you really don’t want to end up in court over it.

Public Domain Content - If you have the money to have a lawyer look at copyright for you then fine, go ahead and get started. Where can you find this type of content? It can be difficult to find content that is free to use but here are a few links to get you started:

http://www.gutenberg.org/

http://www.wikimedia.org/

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html

Master Resale Rights - If you can’t afford expensive lawyers what else can you do? One rather less pricey way is to buy Master Resale Rights to a product - this gives you the opportunity to name yourself as the author, use the content in another product, rewrite the whole thing - the possibilities are endless. Just be aware with this that you will need to look at the terms and conditions of what you are allowed to do with the product before you buy.

On a budget? - not to worry, there are still many ways you can find great content without spending a fortune or worrying about whether you can legally use it. Sites such as http://www.infogoround.com, and http://www.thelostfiles.com provide guaranteed public domain or private label content for a monthly fee. You could also sign up to some of the well known internet marketer’s newsletters. Why? Well if you’re serious about internet marketing you should be checking out all the latest happenings anyway, but a lot of newsletter owners will have free ebooks, giveaways and articles to download - some of which you will be able to use as your own.

So you’ve got your content ready to go and you’ve checked your rights and permissions but there is one more thing to think about - sites such as http://www.copyscape.com can check for duplicate content on the internet and of course so can the search engines. This could mean anything from the search engines deciding they won’t rate your site as highly because the exact same content is available elsewhere to some smarty pants asking you if you really did write that incredibly good article because they’ve seen someone else claiming that they wrote it too, so you do need to be aware of this when looking to use content you haven’t personally created, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go ahead and make the most of all that wonderful information.

What Can You Do?

You could just read the information to learn from it yourself; you could read it to get ideas for businesses, more articles, content, the list is limited only by your imagination.

How about:

Ebooks
Print Books

Presentations

Membership Sites

Face to face courses

Mini courses

Teleclass content

Webcast content

Podcast content

Blog content

Content for your Autoresponder

Ezine content

Articles for your site to build AdSense income pages

Viral Reports

Tips Lists

When it comes to using all the content you have gathered, you need to look through it all and decide what you want to produce. If you plan to use content from more than one source, such as 2 or 3 articles by different authors to be combined into a report, you will need to go through and change the content into a similar style, check that it is all written in the same tense, make sure the formatting is the same throughout, check for spelling and grammar (for example - spelling for some words is different in the US than the UK) and look through all the articles to see if any of the points made are duplicated.

Once you’ve done this, make a list of points you want to make in your report, read the articles through again and start combining them together to fit what you want to say - cut and paste to copy sections into the right place.

Next, look at the way your draft reads now and see if it fits your style of writing, your personality and your business. Reword it to fit with this - there’s no point in producing a very formally written, stiff sounding report for a hobby site.

At this point you could just tweak it, proof read it, and then go ahead and publish it but to take it a step further and make it really unique, why not look at how you might rewrite it so that all of the content is yours - now you’ve got the basic idea down and laid out, it shouldn’t take you long to reword things, add in some of your own ideas and keywords that fit your site, and maybe a few quotes and suddenly you’re looking at something that no-one else has got, that the search engines will love and that no-one can claim you copied.

Time to start creating!

Yes, preventing intrusions from the web, keeping files safe and ensuring the secure transactions of online banking can be done using free applications. And I mean not demo versions of software, not trial editions, but fully functional tools that many PC users either have never heard about or just don’t trust anything that goes with a 4-letter word. More and more parents realize they shouldn’t impose any direct control over their child’s online activity thus trying to find out what their children are doing online.

At first phishing consisted only of a social engineering scam in which phishers spammed consumer e-mail accounts with letters ostensibly from banks. The more people got aware of the scam, the less spelling mistakes these messages contained, and the more these fraudulent websites resembled legitimate ones. Phishers are getting smarter. They eagerly learn; there is enough money involved here to turn criminals into earnest students. Data loggers, key loggers are just a few programs which harvest info from your computer.

Yachting as a sport, leisure pursuit or used as a company instrument is really valuable. There are also outstanding sailing and boating events that make it equally thrilling & can be something that the whole members of the family are capable to go and take advantage of all together. One of the foremost weeks of the yachting schedule is the Cowes Regatta Week; this event takes place every year and has been functioning since 1826 that makes it the longest running yachting event today. With more than 700 ocean racing vessels & five-thousand competitors playing a part, being inspected by well over seventy thousand viewers each day Skandia Cowes week has received the class as 1 of the principal yachting business hospitality and public occasion of the entire year.

The 8500 contenders range from Olympic & European class skilled sailors to freshly qualified sailors. Nevertheless, if you are not partaking yourself, observing the yachting, enjoying the social gatherings and live events, and to be involved in the unique ambience, makes it a one of a sort corporate yachting event.

With Ondeck Sailing and Powerboat School, in 2008 embarks on the launch of their latest Regatta Division. Continuing on their tremendous position within the yachting charter market, this has seen Ondeck Sailing, run a number of thriving regattas for organisations, they have lately united with Britannia Events, the leading organisers of industry events within the United Kingdom.

The direction of the race itself will fluctuate each day as topics such as the climate circumstances, tidal flow & relative pace of each class group of sailing yacht is taken into making the decision. A ordinary Cowes Sailing Event has over 35 start offs each day for members of cruiser series one designs & keelboats; adding up to over six-thundered boats. During this occasion the Solent which is an extensively busy merchant waterway, is bursting with boats of all divisions & is particularly colourful on account of the spinnakers. As cited earlier on top of the power boating shows the week includes a big number of onshore activities such as live music & cocktail parties. From private or commercial house parties & nominally private yacht societies and boats, there are large marquees set-up in the marinas giving out canap©s and drink. Check out Ondeck’s website for the all the latest info on the 2008 Cowes Regatta.

The challenge for the 2006 election season is to write radio
scripts that touch the heart and not deflect off the shield that
surrounds the soul of most voters. The conditioning of the mind
has been evolving since the first political radio commercials.
The challenge for the writer is obvious. Be subtle in the
approach. The days of overt name calling or shouting the
candidates name in hopes of making an impression with the voters
is over. With so many listening options outside the commercial
radio market, candidates and special interest groups will demand
much more from the writers than before.

Scott Radio (www.scottradio.com) a radio political voice and
script writing organization conducted a survey of over five
hundred radio listeners in a quest to understand the mindset or
comfort zone of the average radio listener. Some of the
discoveries were as follows: First, the tolerance level for
commercials is eroding. Fifty percent of those surveyed stated
that they have a quick “trigger” to avoid commercials. Second,
the survey revealed that for political radio advertising
specifically, the over saturation by candidates during the
campaign is reason enough to avoid commercial radio. Finally,
the research shows that candidate bashing is what the cable news
shows do each day in such detail that for a candidate to spend
time on the negative issue radio advertising in pointless. The
content of the commercial usually outdated. The American public
is now quick to find resolution to an issue. They no longer wait
for someone else to assess guilt or innocence. They frame their
opinion and only when presented overwhelming evidence to the
contrary do they waiver. They take pride in being stubborn on
political issues, because they can be.

To spend money advertising issues or negative commentary about
an opponent now runs the risk of being old copy, as the voter
has most likely formed an opinion before the commercial is
produced. By the time the political attack ads make the
commercial rotation, a new issue will have surfaced. There is a
much better way. scottradio.com has discovered it.
