I was told about this program to let you send and receive faxes like email. It’s free for 30 days. Check it out if that’s of interest.

Please note that one of the things you have to check says “* I agree to be charged $9.95/month for this service after the trial period has ended”.

So read the fine print first.

Here’s a case study of how someone in a non “internet marketing” niche uses a membership site to make an ongoing stream of revenue. It’s  a site for Bed and Breakfast owners.

You’ll notice that they have a higher up front fee and lower monthly fee. I consider this smart – the equivalent of selling an ebook and then getting a smaller ongoing stream of income monthly. You’ll see this site offers information like B&B’s for sale and other specialized information for that particular niche. Just what your membership site offers depends on the needs of your customers and what your market is seeking.

If you have specialized knowledge of a field, you could be producing your own profitable membership site.  Find out how here September ONLY – Money Making Membership Sites! (The links will still work after September but without this special offer! It’s still well worth it.)

Membership Site Case Study – Chris Parkin

Chris has a business-to-business membership site that caters for the needs of Bed and Breakfast business owners, with a focus on B&B’s in the UK. He provides a lot of resources for both prospective and current B&B owners.

Chris provides excellent content. There are a lot of calculators important to B&B owners – for calculating VAT, net profit and break even points, and an electricity and gas bill calculator. These all make the lives of B&B owners more profitable – and easier. And they tie exactly into the theme of the site, which is to “Increase Your Profits, Eliminate Your Day-To-Day Headaches” in running a B&B.

He has a comprehensive download section, which covers all facets of the industry, such as menus, business planners, accommodation standards, accounts, hotel fire risk assessment, and more. The information is very practical, and indispensable.

And he shows the public what is available to members, which is a great way to increase conversions. People can see the value in joining the site. Instead of just listing a general heading of ‘Downloads’, Chris has a list of all the files available. You can see an example here: http://www.bandbowner.com/public/programs/opendownloads.cfm

He has a blog and a selection of articles available to the public, which is great for pre-selling prospective members. This content provides a way for people to find his site in the search engines. And it’s an ideal way to target ‘on-the-cusp’ customers. These are the customers that may not fit the immediate profile of a prospect – they are looking to make extra money or get into the industry, but they’re not B&B owners – yet. His articles demonstrate the training they need – and the potential problems they need to be aware of – to make that transition to small business owner. And – the transition from prospect to member of his site.

You can see an example.

He’s also thought of the long-term needs of his customers. Chris provides a lot of marketing information and tools, as well as a free legal help-line. That shows a real understanding of the industry, as well as his customers.

Chris charges a one-time fee of 24.95 and 7.95 a month after that.

2. Overnight Shipping upgrades for only $3.99 per item

Frankly, and I’m sorry to say this because I’d like to help everyone for free, I just don’t have the time or resources to answer all those emails.

Lots of people ask me how to promote their MLM products online. Others ask how to promote their “brick and mortar” business or their ebay auctions online.

I guess I could produce yet another “ebook” but frankly don’t we have enough of them?

And isn’t it true that what works today sometimes doesn’t work tomorrow? I know that things usually stop working the moment I buy the ebook that “tells all”.

But some things, in general, work long term. That’s what I want to help people with.

But there’s no use reinventing the wheel.

And one of the most frustrating things about these “how to get started” manuals is that, after it’s all said and done, you still have to usually buy at least SOME tool to help you get started.

So here’s what I’ve decided to do about all those inquiries asking me about “Legit Home Work” as that quaint term in my email box goes. You’ll end up with an awesome tool that everyone can use if they’re marketing online, but, essentially a report from my perspective that fills in the gaps and adds to it without costing you an extra cent.

1. Read this article.

2. If you still want to know how to get started, then watch the free videos the article links to.

3. If you say “I already know that” then you really don’t need my help!

4. If you go “Yes, this is what I wanted to know” and you still want my help, buy the product associated with those videos!

5. Follow the instructions at the end of the article!

6. I’ll send you some additional things I’ve compiled that “round out” what you have learned!

BUT, by requesting my help, you are promising not to seek a refund for the product you buy. So if you have any doubts  check out the product first before emailing me.

Fair enough?

It will close soon, so don’t pass up this opportunity.

Like the rest of Skip’s reports, it’s fresh and “doable”.

Just add the work.

From the San Antonio Business Journal

AT&T is giving residential and small-business high-speed broadband Internet customers free access to the company’s nationwide Wi-Fi network.

Effective Monday, AT&T wireless broadband customers will be able to access the Internet at nearly 10,000 Wi-Fi “hot spots” throughout the country, including airports, McDonald’s restaurants, Barnes & Noble bookstores, select coffee shops and sporting venues.

So coal companies languishing that these riches seem to fewer practical uses nowadays are transforming the asset into a modern fuel capable of propelling B-52’s and private airliners through the skies…via Liquid Coal

And some believe this fuel would only cost $40 per barrell!

Talk about defunding terrorism and jumpstarting the economy… can it run in cars?

In the meantime sign up…

Here’s the annoucement.

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now suggesting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What’s the catch? No catch – no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam – membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

So sign up today and tell your friends!

Note: This probably won’t be feasible much after January 1, 2007 because it’s dependent on Google Checkout’s $20 new user rebate program.

It’s actually 2 rebates… one from Norton and another from Google Checkout’s preview.

By going to the link below, you’ll have to pay (up front) $52.84 for 3 registrations for Norton AntiVirus. Then you send away for
$40 mail-in rebate leaving the final cost for 3 licenses at $12.84.

But then you use Google’s new service to make the purchase and it gives you another $20 discount. So you actually end up making money.
