I am sorry for the delay in getting this issue out. I have
been having some major trouble with the Onelist/EGroups
service. I can't even get them to reply to my e-mails. Due
to the troubles I have been experiencing from them I have
decided to transfer the list to Topica where the service is
much better. This transfer is in the midst of taking place
but will not be complete for about 2 days. Should you want or
need to unsubscribe from the list you will not be able to do
so until Saturday. Please make note of this. Part of the
list has already been transferred so this issue is being sent
from both Topica and Onelist.

I have also decided to start offering Solo Advertising. The
Solo/Exclusive Ads will be sent from a different list entirely
so that only people that want to receive the offers will get
them. There will be a maximum of one solo/exclusive ad per
day sent to the list. To subscribe send a blank e-mail to:
<A HREF="mailto:AHWNews-Solos-subscribe@...">

Wow!! I buy all my vitamins and herbal products from
GNC...but with the price savings at Nature's RX that is going
to change.

If you already take vitamins or natural remedies you will want
to check this site out. They have some really great values
plus a chance to win the product of your choice.

*FEATURE ARTICLE*
Stumbling blocks to Avoid
By Betty Ann Wilkins © 2000
----------------------------------------


Profit by knowing the myths and learning from mistakes that
others have made. Save yourself hundreds, possibly even
thousands of dollars and hours of your valuable time.

"I can make money with No Work on the Internet"

In looking for that one right business you will read many
advertisements promising to make you a millionaire for Free.
This is a bunch of bull. Nothing in life is free and you
cannot make money by doing nothing.

Before committing yourself to any business you must ask
yourself a few questions:

***How much money do I want to make?***
***How much effort am I willing to commit to it?***
***How much time & energy can I devote to it?***
***How much money can I comfortably invest in it?***


Keep in mind that the amount of time you put into your new
business will directly relate to the amount of money you will
make from your new business. If you do not have the time, do
you have the money to pay someone else to do it for you? You
do not have to do it all yourself if you are financially able
to get help from others.


"The More I offer the more I will make"


This is so untrue! The Internet is all about specialized
Niche Marketing. You must have the one thing that no one else
has or you will just get lost in the millions of sites that
are not doing business and have to close shop. You need to
specialize in one type of product or service and make yours
unique. This does not mean that you cannot sell the same type
of item that others are, you just need to make what you are
offering much more unique and valuable.

You cannot stay focused when you are marketing many products
and services. It is always best to start with one product or
service --- learn all the ins and outs of promoting &
marketing it --- then if you would like to expand add only one
very related product or service at a time. Be sure you learn
everything you can about the product or service before adding
more.


"Build it and they will come"


This myth has enticed many people to believe that by just
having a website people will visit and you will start making a
ton of money. There is much more to it than that.

*Your website should look professional --- no spelling errors,
bad grammar or unexplained abbreviations.

*Do not add in a lot of flash --- no one likes waiting for
graphics to load. Many people do not use Java or the latest
plug-ins that add bells & whistles to a website. Do not use
music unless you give the visitors a way to turn it off.

*Be sure you use good keywords in your meta tags, give your
pages a good meta description and always remember to give your
pages a title. All of these things will make submitting your
site to search engines and directories much easier and help
you to obtain a good ranking in many of them.

Once your site is built you have to advertise it like crazy or
no one will ever know that your site exists.


"E-mail Marketing Really Works - I can e-mail everyone"


Yes, correct e-mail marketing is one of the best ways to sell
your product or service, but only when sent to the right,
interested people. Do not fall into the spam trap ---
believing that the trouble it will cause is worth the orders
you will receive. More than likely your order form will be
shut down long before you get all the orders that you thought
you would.

Keep in mind that there are people on the Internet who live
for the opportunity to flame, mail bomb and complain about
SPAM to your ISP.

Proper E-mail marketing will bring you many more orders. Do
not buy lists that you cannot verify as being opt-in lists.
Build a list of your own by setting up a newsletter or list
that updates people on your website and products ---- be sure
to only e-mail people that have requested information from you
or have asked to be on your list.

Many FFA and Free Classified site owners automatically add the
e-mail addresses of those that place a link or ad on their
site to their mailing lists ----- this is not truly allowing
people to opt-in. As much as some people believe this to be
perfectly acceptable, keep in mind that it also shows that the
list owner does not care if you truly want to be on their list
or not before you decide to use this method to build your
list.


"I know what I'm doing, I don't need help"


This is the worst mistake you can make. If you purchase a
marketing plan you owe it to yourself to follow every single
word of it before you decide it is of no use. Asking for help
is your best way to learn the ropes and end up developing your
own success story.

Do not think that the info that you have purchased or
requested cannot possibly be perfect --- this is all to easy
to do --- but do not. Read every page, every word of advice
and implement it (unless you are told to do something that is
illegal or unethical). Give every piece of advice you receive
a chance before deeming it to be useless. You only hurt
yourself when you refuse to give a new idea a fair chance.


"I can make the wheel work even better"

Instead of struggling along without any help, look for the
person that is doing the best at it right now ---- study what
they do.... use what you learn to duplicate their success and
make it your own.

It has long been known that it is always best to follow the
success of others. Do not try to re-invent the wheel -- it
already works!


One last suggestion:

Find a mentor that is willing to see you through the good and
the bad. The best mentoring program I have yet to find it is
called The Internet Marketing Challenge. Jess O'Leary and
Kenny Mann, original creators of Link-O-Matic started this
terrific mentoring program about a year ago. Instead of
one mentor you will find many of the top Marketing
Professionals there to help you in every area of Marketing
your business. More Info at:
<http://www.the-work-at-home.com/IMC>


I encourage you to avoid the above myths and mistakes.
By doing so you could possibly save yourself hundreds (even
thousands) of dollars, hours, and a lifetime of wondering if
you could have done it differently.
