In
2001, I figured I didn't have enough to do (NOT!) so I started my
own online business selling natural handmade
soap and skincare
ingredients to hobbyists and small business owners.
It
was a long learning curve and I found a few invaluable tools along
the way that literally turned things around for me.
TOO
BUSY TO GET ANYTHING DONE?
This
is the time management tool that I use to pull it all together.
I
think of the other tools as the road, and this one as the map to
take me there.
It's
easy to use and includes a manual, MP3 and workbook including day
planner sheets and a complete system (with a capital S) helps you get
you where you need to go.
Simply
the best day timer/time management planner that I have ever had the
joy of using.
It
can be used for virtually any area of your life, and all of them together.
When
I first saw the words "Too Busy To Get Things Done",
I knew it was for me. I've been using it ever since. The only
complaint I've ever had is when I don't use it.
ROCKET!!

THE
"QUEEN OF KAOS" - TAKES CONTROL EBOOK
I
don't want you to forget my ebook which says it all!
I
struggled for years to maintain balance and to make progress towards
my goals.
As
time went on I found out that what I was missing was a system. It
had to be easy to set up, and even easier to use, so I developed my
own. I liked it so much I had to share, so I decided to write a book
about it!
Or
use it as a completely customizable, simplified, stand alone system.
It's effective, so easy you won't believe it, and it's fun!
Chapters
include Code Red... Honey, I Lost The Kids!, Out of Control, There
and Back Again, I Think That Was Me I Passed Back There and of
course, Honey, I Found The Kids!.
And
of course it includes the mother of all worksheets that will help
you to get it all done, every day.

LIST
AND TRAFFIC
One
of the biggest challenges in having an online business is accessing
the market. The only way to do this is by building traffic to your
site and knowing what to do with it when you get it.
The
fact is, without people to visit and buy from your site, no matter
how great it is, or how hard you have worked, if you have a virtual
business, it's as good as dead.
When
I signed up for Jimmy D Brown's subscription site called "Lists
and Traffic" I was totally flabbergasted at the information he
was giving out. It was so usable!
My
brain was popping with ideas everytime I looked at his info, ideas
that I could develop and use in a responsible and creative way to
grow web traffic and utilize my mailing list.
If
you have a website, you owe it to yourself to check this out, sign
up, and use it, you won't be sorry.

AWEBER
UNLIMITED AUTORESPONDER SERVICE
One
thing that I learned in Jimmy D's subscription "course" is
the magic of using autoresponders in marketing (before this my
marketing system was labour intensive and not very effective)
Follow
up with your customers, provide them with a smorgasborg of resources
and save yourself a lot of time in the process.
The
price is unbelievable for all that you get - you can manage multiple
lists for multiple sites from one account for one price. If I was to
try to do what I am doing using any other service, it would cost a fortune.
The
customer service is the best I've seen, they make it a point to
offer their assistance, how cool is that?
And
they send regular mailings with usable tips on how best to use your
autoresponder. There is also a long list of articles and resources on
the site that will give you an amazing education on how to use your
autoresponder, I've never seen anything like it.
The
thing that probably sold me the most on it in the first place is the
fact that this is a company that is used by many "big names"
who have literally thousands of autoresponder messages set up, so I
know it has to be reliable. Aweber has been around for a long time so
is not a fly by night company.
This
is of utmost importance, as you don't want to loose any of your work
one day when your autoresponder service goes out of business. And I
don't either!
Get
it all!
