Ok. You've just started your new home based business. What's next? Leads! Yes, if you're going to succeed in your home business, you must have tons of leads. After all, it is a "numbers game". The only way to find prospects is by picking up the telephone and making call after call after call!
Imagine this. You work hard all day at the job. You come home exhausted; eat a quick supper, and get all excited because you're going to get on that phone and make money. With your lead list in front of you - the one you bought that was guaranteed "fresh" - you practice what you're going to say. Then you reach for the telephone to begin your prospecting. Suddenly you get a lump in your throat and the phone looks like a 25 pound dumb bell.
Reminding yourself of all that money you're going to make, you grit your teeth and dial the first number. No answer. You dial the second number. Busy. You dial the third number. Disconnected. You dial the fourth number. Finally, a real person answers. They want to know how you got their number, and ask you to please take them off your list. On the seventh call another real person answers. They want to know all about your opportunity, so you invite them to a presentation. After seven calls, you’ve found one prospect!
Whew! You need a break. You go get your coffee refilled and return to your office. Managing to dial about twenty more numbers, you succeed in finding one more person who agrees to be on the presentation call tomorrow. By now you're thinking," Prospecting is hard work. This is going to get old fast. If only there was a way that I could just dial the people who wanted to hear what I have to say. If only there was an easier way."
The last century brought all kinds of new technology into the world. For sales, one of the greatest inventions was the telephone. We all know because of the onslaught of telemarketers that interrupt our dinner. The truth is, though, it works! Just ask Time Life. They have 7 phone centers with about 50 telemarketers prospecting from 6:00 AM until 9:00 PM every day. with each caller making about 50 phone calls an hour. That's around 250,000 calls a day! Sales are made, despite the fact that people will say they hate telemarketers. Amazing!
This century has brought a new breed of software that is so comprehensive that it is called “business communication” software. Instead of making call after call, this amazing software makes the calls for you. Then it automatically answers the inbound calls from prospects and enters their data into a database. Now, all you have to do when you come home from work, or go to work if you’re a professional sales person, is call these people who have already expressed an interest in your offer. Is that an “easier way?”
Now that you’re aware of this “breakthrough” software marketing system, you no longer have to make excuses for not wanting to make all those “cold calls”. You can now work “smarter, not harder”. You’ll have more time to do all the other things you must do to run your business, and actually increase your sales and profits. Prospecting just moved into the 21st century!

What are RSS Feeds?
All Rights Reserved. Copyright (C) 2005. Brandon Hong
Try doing a search using keywords like "what is RSS" and click on the top 5 web sites that come up. I bet you still don't come close to understanding the meaning of it.
The reason is simple enough, most of the explanation are written in technical jargon by search engine people or other "techies". No wonder you don't understand!
In my Videos Course "Marketing Rampage with Blogs and RSS" I have a diagram that illustrates very clearly what is RSS. My experience as an ex Physics teacher gives me the insight to understanding how people learn, and analogies and visualization are a good way to explain complex things to people. My multimedia e-book was designed with this in mind.
Imagine a TV station. You record the program once, and you distribute it to everyone's home that has a TV set. Imagine, if there is no TV station, how would you do it? Record on CDs and distribute thousands of it? And all this is made possible using data communication. The technology involved is data communication.
Likewise imagine a Radio station. Record a song once, and beam it to anyone who has a radio set.
Anyone wanting to listen to a certain genre of music just need to tune in to the right channel. And all this is made possible with radio communication. The technology here is radio communication.
RSS is just a method to allow your newsletter, blog contents, web pages, to be circulated or sydnicated by other web sites, without the hassle of copying and pasting numerous times.
The technology here is a programming language called XML, which YOU NEED NOT KNOW OR LEARN.
ANYONE can create Rss feeds WITHOUT programming knowledge. If you know how to use a mouse, you can create rss feeds. GUARANTEED. And my videos shows you how.
In the past (still is today) anyone that wants to sydnicate someone else's content the 1st time would have to do a search, go to the specific website, copy the contents and paste it in his own ezine or web site.
Would it be any different the 2nd time? The process would be the same and is repetitive.
However, with RSS feeds, all the repetitive task is removed.
a) If you are a publisher, you can
i) use/syndicate other people's contents, just by copying his feed URL
ii) allow others to syndicate YOUR content, again just by providing your feed URL
The step or process is only 1 time, like the TV and Radio station example.
b) If you are a user/subscriber, by using a newsreader (software that allows you to read news feed) you have PEACE in the sense that you no longer need to provide your
email address and get bombarded daily with sales messages from ezines.
You have the POWER to choose what and whose news feed you want to read.

A Marketing Miracle?
I've discovered...
"The most amazing tool that was ever created for a home based business!"
If you have any kind of business, you know that the key to success is "prospecting" The more prospects you talk to, the more sales you'll make. That means buying lots of leads, and calling them until you find someone who's interested. You'll go through answering machines, busy signals, disconnected numbers, hang ups, and people who talk your ear off and them say "no" Out of twenty calls you might get one good prospect.
Who has time for that after working all day? Even if you make calls, and set appointments, it won't be long before you'll have presentations to attend with prospects, follow up calls, and no more time to call new leads. It becomes overwhelming, and you get nowhere fast!
Imagine this...
You're sitting at your desk, and the phone rings. It's someone who already wants what you have to offer. In other words, only that one person you found out of twenty is the person who calls you.
With a click of your mouse, you can make thousands of calls in minutes! Then, only those leads who are interested in what you have to offer will call you. Just think of the time and frustration this will save you.
No matter what your main business is, if it involves sales, you can utilize this system.
This is just the beginning. Watch for more detailed information on how this amazing software can help you Double and Triple your Sales & Profits!
