Member You - Promoting Yourself -- E-mail Secrets For Self-Promotion & Communication
Have you ever tried to drive somewhere without proper directions? This almost always turns out to be a frustrating experience. Sure, if you stop and ask enough people you may eventually reach your target destination, but think of all the wasted energy, time, and resources needed to accomplish your goal.Let's take this concept and move it to the realm of managing a business. Does it make sense to expect your employees to reach a goal or strategic objective without providing them a road map of where they are headed? This is the reason clear and detailed employee performance objectives play a crucial role in helping companies perform to their business plan and achieve their strategic goals.Performance objectives establish how your business plan will be achieved.
I may attempt some humor or irreverence from time to time. I prefer to speak in my own voice. We have, for the most part, established a connection. I don't have to worry about some stuffy CEO looking over my shoulder as I write to you, or worse, after I've written. I'm the stuffy CEO. Well, not too stuffy, I hope. Let's continue:
Always insert a relevant subject line. If you're responding to something that is no longer the subject, remove the Re: and put a new subject line so that it can be quickly retrieved. The organized types will a
Do you ever feel like you just can’t find the right person for the job? Don’t know where to find them or how to find them? Most of the time, the best candidate for your position is hard at work for someone else. They are doing a great job where they are, and they feel generally satisfied with the job they have.People who are satisfied at their current place of work aren’t actively looking for a new place to work. They don’t search the want ads everyday. Although, I have known professionals to look over the ads occasionally, just to see what opportunities are out there. The question is how to find these employees when they aren’t looking for you. There are several methods that employers can use.Employee referral systems are used by several companies, and
Anyone who answers no to that question can quickly discover that they may well be in sales and how to take advantage of that fact. If you are in sales and don't know it, your sales are down. Of course you may sleep well because you don't know it anyway.
You are in sales, no matter what you're doing. That's really good news, even for those who insist that they aren't in sales.
Okay, let's call it marketing, promotion, branding, strategy or even image enhancement. Anyone who's interested in advancing in a job, as an entrepreneur and of course, a salesperson, better be actively selling, promoting, branding, etc.
How do you and I take better advantage of this? That question stops a lot of people just as it slowed me down a few years ago. There are so many choices! What do you do first? How do you do it? How much will it cost?
I'd like to offer some basic tips here. Mostly what I'd like to encourage you to do is take it a step at a time and not be flustered as so many others and I have been throughout this process.
What's interesting is how many people, even those actively selling or promoting online, are missing some basic components that make a difference in their bottom line.
>>E-mail: There are two kinds. Regular that you send out singularly or in small personal groupings via your email program, and broadcasting via a service to your opt-in list. You're on the latter. You've agreed to receive emails from me even if we've never met. Of course, I hope what you receive is worthwhile as should you whenever your broadcast to your opt-in list.
When you're back and forth to friends and family you have your own informal style, just as if you were all sitting around talking.
However, when you're emailing to your market; that is, anyone who is a potential buyer of your services, you obviously should have a more professional style.
If you're an employee of a company, your email style is also important. Even to those whom you are sending informally as they might get forwarded or even intercepted up the corporate hierarchy. Within the corporate structure it's often best to remain professional.
You've no doubt heard that all caps in an email is equivalent to YELLING. So, don't do it: EVER. Please note; all caps herein were to make a point and create a smile. If neither just happened for you, please unsubscribe immediately. : )

46,094.That’s how many times I’ve been asked “Where can I find hot product ideas to write about in my next eBook?”Really. I’ve been keeping count. :o)OK, so it’s probably not quite that many times, but you get the idea.I get asked that question a LOT.And so, I’ve decided to share my favorite “idea hangouts”. That’s right … “idea hangouts.” It’s been my experience that there are specific places where hot product ideas are always gathered. I call them “idea hangouts.”*** Idea Hangout #1 ***One of the “idea hangouts” that I’ve identified is Amazon.com.Amazon.com is the web’s largest bookstore.It’s also a community center for new product ideas. I use it as one of my top brainstorming resources. Again and aga

Perhaps you still don't realize or fully understand the power of RSS Feeds as a marketing tool.After all, email works fine, doesn't it?Unfortunately, the truth is:1. It's getting harder to send e-mails to the prospect's inbox because of SPAM filters2. People are getting numbed by the amount of e-mails they receive everyday3. People are not reading their e-mails4.

Are you still trying to find profitable wholesale video games on the Internet? If part of your daily routine is playing xbox games at night, pretty much like many of us when we do not have someone throwing you a pillow at night- making money out of the sell of entertainment games might be an interesting hobby due on diligence for your own good.Many of the questions a power seller gets on a weekly basis is in edited style- how much money can you make out of the sale of games on the Internet? Where can I find distributors to sell the lovely Playstation 3 for a profit on eBay or on my own mini mall on the net? The other one, a good one indeed- where can I get a plethora of traffic to have customers find me and hopefully turn a profit out of such 30-40% markups?Re

Use paragraphs and structure the same way you would in a business letter. Now, I always like you to know that I'm no grammarian and would love to have all my stuff checked before you see it. I don't. but, I will also use a proper format. Someone who writes in a constant stream, not bothering to separate into paragraphs is a pain, even in friend-to-friend emails.
Use proper capitalization and (hopefully for me) punctuation. At least do the best you can. All lower case is as much a bore as all UPPER case. It shows a lack of consideration too.
Always use your signature feature in business emails. I have several, depending to whom I'm sending. My branding site with a lot of links looks like this:
Tom Justin is president of Command Communications, Inc. A communications & Strategic marketing firm. Justin is also an author, personal coach and popular motivational/inspirational speaker who has spoken before hundreds of audiences throughout the World.
CCI, through Justin and his associates, has a background in TV production and consultation of programs ranging from talk shows to infomercials to corporate videos.

I have a brief signature that I use to promote my books. What you will want is to have people click on your site's link. I have friends who like to forward humor and motivational sites. I always forward such things to them with one of my signatures. If they leave it in when they forward it to their list, etc., I may get an unknown amount of new visitors to my sites.
Whether it's a free report or a link the sales page, there is always more exposure to the possibility of gaining a new visitor. Here's what I use for the book, *How to Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed*:

If you're a psychologist or other professional, use signatures for any number of ethical promotions. You can offer a genuine service by giving away a special report or even a link to a particular site that would interest many who get your email.
You might have signatures for written for segments of your email recipients. If you're a speaker, one for meeting planners. Your book, another or just a simple statement of y
