			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are millions of small and growing businesses around the world. Only 1/3 of them are on the web. The rest believe that it&#8217;s too expensive or it&#8217;s too difficult to get online.</p>
<p>Every business must have their own web presence to compete in todays economy.</p>
<p>A website is simply an electronic brochure that helps your customers do their homework on you before they buy from you. All of your details, hours of operation, products, services and more are listed on this online brochure. As a result, well informed customers trust more and therefore they buy more.</p>
<p><a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com</a> recognizes this and has launched a program to help small businesses gain access to <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">affordable web design</a> with first class support to get their website launched.  Starting at $50 for set up and hands on live help, any new or growing company can get their website launched in a matter of days. If you simply want to do it yourself, you can take advantage of the 10 day free trial, $0 cost set up and build your own website with free email and phone support.</p>
<p>With every website built by the SiteBuilderAvenue.com team, they give you access to a growing marketing library of  videos, audios, free eBooks and more in their Discovery Center. You can learn about local marketing, facebook marketing, twitter, Link wheeling, local search submission, Pay Per Click tips and so much more.</p>
<p>In addition, they offer you a free wordpress blog site hosted on their server as part of the monthly cost. It&#8217;s like getting two websites for the price of one. You can use the blog to link to and drive traffic back to your primary business or use it as a secondary site for another business. Either way, the benefits of having a blog on the system means you get the biggest bang for your web design bucks.</p>
<p>In order to get the word out, <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com</a> has launched an affiliate and reseller program that pays commission to the marketers that join their FREE program and send new clients!</p>
<p><a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/reseller-affiliate/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">Join Their Free Affiliate Program</a></p>
<p>This is a program that anyone can do part time from the comfort of their own home or office.</p>
<p>Working at home is the goal of many people in today&#8217;s economy.  Part time of full time income is need to help fight against the rising cost of inflation. <em><strong>&#8220;I want to help change as many lives financially as I can&#8221;</strong></em>.. Said creator <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/reseller-affiliate/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">Gene Culver</a>. &#8220;<em><strong>I live to put money in other marketers pockets and I will do anything I can to help them succeed&#8221;. </strong></em>He adds&#8230; <em><strong>&#8220;Success is a team sport&#8221;. </strong></em></p>
<p>The perfect partners for this program are business consultants, graphic designers and high traffic sites that are interesting in putting links on their site that return real recognizable revenue on a weekly basis. This program pays weekly!</p>
<p>The goal is to offer <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">affordable web design</a> and provide a respectable commission to affiliates that refer new clients.</p>
<p><strong><em>They also have a reseller program:</em></strong></p>
<p>The reseller program is more of a partnership and it allows the marketing reps to use <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com</a> as the upstream provider for their front-line business. The reseller sets the price and becomes the primary contact for the design clients. <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com</a> supports the sale as part of the resellers team to assure that everything is quoted properly,  designed to specifications and installed on time and on budget!</p>
<p>This win/win solution works for the customer, marketer and <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com.</a></p>
<p>Take a look around and add it to your list of great products today! <a href="http://sitebuilderavenue.com/webbiz/?xtr=sparkplugging" target="_blank">SiteBuilderAvenue.com.</a></p>

Since Kelly talked about affiliate marketing and working harder on it, I thought it would be good to follow up with some tools that can help make your lives as affiliates easier, better, more productive which hopefully leads to more profits. So here goes.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2832" title="Tools" src="http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tools.jpg" alt="Tools" width="187" height="250" /></p>
<p><strong>Password manager</strong> &#8211; I use <a href="http://techbasedmarketing.com/?s=roboform">Roboform</a> on the PC and <a href="http://techbasedmarketing.com/?s=1password">1Password</a> on the Mac, others I know use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8542">LastPass</a> and <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410">Xmarks</a>. Whatever you decide on, a password manager really helps logging in and out of those many affiliate accounts a breeze.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate link plugin for WordPress</strong> &#8211; there are a few out there. What does it do? You set a keyword for example &#8220;SparkplugU&#8221; and tell it to link to your affiliate URL each time SparkplugU is found. All automatic and works for older posts too.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/bloggers/">Zemanta</a></strong> &#8211; this is a Firefox plugin that will make photo, books, DVD and website resources suggestions for you based on what you are writing about. You can link it up to Amazon &#8211; if you&#8217;re still their affiliate &#8211; and make it easy to add links to products found in Amazon.</p>
<p><strong>A macro utility</strong> &#8211; Tired of typing your affiliate URL again and again? Copying and pasting is OK but still takes time to open your file, look it up, copy and paste. Too many actions. Use a macro utility. I use something called DirectAccess that helps me do a bunch of things, but one of my favorite uses is for it to help me type in URLs. Instead of typing, I enter a short code and hit &#8216;End&#8217; the software types the links for me, reducing the amount of typing I do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t been feeling the Follow Friday vibe much lately but I posted one today:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ff-alice.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2818" title="ff-alice" src="http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ff-alice.jpg" alt="ff-alice" width="400" height="196" /></a></p>
<p>This after I received an affiliate sale notification from her program.  There&#8217;s something pretty inspiring about earning $150 in  commission, wouldn&#8217;t you agree?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt  I love what I do and make a good living at it. One of the greatest things about being an internet business entrepreneur is that there are no limits &#8211; and right now, I&#8217;m focusing in on that because I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s time to make more money. (And I know I can do it!)</p>
<p>I remember when I first started my online business.  I just wanted to make a couple hundred dollars a month.   Time and experience certainly raised my expectations.  I paid off my debts, left my day job and have enjoyed freedoms I once only dreamed of.  <span id="more-2817"></span></p>
<p>If that sounds like a sales letter testimonial, I apologize <img src='http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   It&#8217;s not meant to &#8211; it&#8217;s what really happened for me.</p>
<p>What you need to understand though is that the &#8216;freedoms&#8217; I&#8217;ve enjoyed &#8211; are pretty relative.  For a single mom who struggled paying the bills for more than fourteen years, just being able to pay them and not worry is a big freedom.  Add in some gadgets and fun and I felt rich!  <strong>What can I say?  I&#8217;m easy to please. </strong></p>
<h3>At least I have been.</h3>
<p>Talking in real numbers, I&#8217;ve earned between $30,000 and $45,000 a year over the last three.  Less when I was focused on helping family out and more when I was more focused on building my business.  I&#8217;m not talking these numbers down &#8211; I&#8217;m proud of them!  But I know I can do better.</p>
<p>And now I want to.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the key isn&#8217;t it?  <strong>Being an entrepreneur is about pursuing your goals and dreams. </strong> Some people dream perfectly wonderful small dreams and when they are achieved, feel fabulous.  I&#8217;ve felt great about my accomplishments so far and quite satisfied with the resulting income.</p>
<h3>But lately, I&#8217;ve been dreaming about more.</h3>
<p>I want to do some more things for me. I want to travel more and drive a nicer car. I want to do more to secure my financial future.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m driving up to Gaylord this weekend to look at a vacation house to rent for the next nine months because I&#8217;d like to split my schedule between here and there and enjoy more down time.</p>
<p>It sounds dreamy, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>I know I can make everything I want happen if I want it bad enough. With the right projects and focused attention, anything really is possible.</p>
<p>The only problem is that I almost seem to be dreaming at cross purposes with myself.  On one hand, I want to have more great down time in a furnished lake house on Otsego Lake.  On the other hand, to get that, I have to work harder and make more money.</p>
<p>Rethink that&#8230; I don&#8217;t have to work harder &#8211; <strong>I  have to work smarter. </strong></p>
<p>(Something <a href="http://twitter.com/aliceseba" target="_blank">@aliceseba</a> has taught me a lot about over the years.)</p>
<p>Again, with an internet business &#8211; there are no limits.  My websites work for me 24 hours a day.  I wake up every morning to sales notices, both from my own products and from my recommendations for others &#8211; most of it is now very passive in nature. (I created some projects years ago and continue to earn well from them.)  If I want to make more money &#8211; I just have to create smart new projects and give older projects an artful nudge.</p>
<p>With my years of experience, and a mind open to how our industry is constantly changing, I know I can make my new dreams come true.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve decided that between now and the end of the year I&#8217;ll put a lot of focus on affiliate marketing.</strong> Why?  Because as an affiliate, I can earn money from products I don&#8217;t have to take the time to create.</p>
<p>Like today, when I earned $150 from Alice.  She created the product, I just had to recommend it to my list and voila: one fourth of the cash I need for a deposit on my lake house <img src='http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Now to do that again and again and again, right?</p>
<h3>Time to Amp It Up!</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m taking Jimmy D. Brown&#8217;s <a href="http://www.kellymccausey.com/affiliatenaire">Affiliatenaire</a> course.  I signed up a few months back when it first launched and have been tucking the lessons away in my gmail account &#8211; sounds like now is the perfect time to pull them out and put them to good use.  Jimmy always inspires me and his learning programs are easy to follow.  I&#8217;ve taken his <a href="http://www.kellymccausey.com/membernaire" target="_blank">Membernaire</a> course in the past to learn more about running paid membership programs and have since launched two successful fixed term membership programs.</p>
<p>My first goal is to add $1000 to my monthly income.  Then, to reach a regular goal of $10,000 per month.</p>
<p>Anybody want to join me in boosting their affiliate income?  Would love to hear from those who are focusing on the same things right now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I got scammed on Craigslist.</p>
<p>You have no idea how shamed and humbled I feel about that.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t fallen for a scam since I was 20 years old. I actually sent $18 and a self addressed stamped envelope to get info on stuffing envelopes for pay.  That was pre-internet of course&#8230; but the lesson was learned well and I knew I&#8217;d never fall prey to anything like it again.  I pride myself on seeing a scam coming from a mile away.</p>
<p><strong>*grumble, grumble*</strong></p>
<p>So, last week I was surfing rental ads on Craigslist.  There was a house that looked like a perfect fit for us at a great price.  I emailed the owner for info and received this email:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Before we begin giving you more information on the apartment we need to know if you are currently up to date with your credit report. Obtaining your credit rating for free is easy, using the following link:</p>
<p>http://uscreditreportcenter.com/creditcheck.php (The process is free and safe and only takes a minute to fill out).</p>
<p>We have had a large number of defaulting tenants who came from Craigslist, so before we can set up an appointment with you we need to verify you are a credible tenant. Once you have completed the application please e-mail us back.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I thought that their request sounded fair&#8230; so I followed the link.  When asked to pay $1.95, I thought &#8211; ok, why not? I saw the fine print about canceling within three days and planned to do that.</p>
<p>To make a long story short &#8211; after giving them my credit card I was routed to a page with info on how to request a free copy of my credit report from another website.</p>
<p><strong>*grrr*</strong></p>
<p>So I felt foolish but I thought to myself, &#8216;<em>Ok, fine &#8211; I was tricked.  That&#8217;s not the end of the world. I&#8217;ll just call the number and cancel right now and be done with it.</em>&#8216;</p>
<p>But the phone wasn&#8217;t answered.</p>
<p>And the fax I sent brought no reply.</p>
<p>And the email I sent was ignored.</p>
<p>And three days later my card was charged $34.97.</p>
<p><strong>*argh!!*</strong></p>
<p>I should also mention that the &#8216;landlord&#8217; hasn&#8217;t replied to any of my testy emails about their little Craigslist scam.  Upon future exploration I learned they&#8217;re not really a landlord.  They have a private registration domain for email but maintain no website on it.  I suspect that they&#8217;re posting Craigslist ads for awesome looking houses all over the country &#8211; all with an affiliate link for the credit report site.</p>
<p>A call to the bank, a few copies of my fax and emails and the money is back in my account.  Oh &#8211; and my credit card had to be canceled and reissued which will affect me in a lot of other areas.  It&#8217;s a pain in the neck and I&#8217;m annoyed that I had to waste time dealing with it. All my own fault of course!</p>
<p>You know what annoys me the most?  <strong>An affiliate marketer scammed me.</strong> I&#8217;m an affiliate marketer!  Call me naive, but I didn&#8217;t realize that we had this sort of slimy underbelly in the affiliate marketing community.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just wrong.</p>
