No. #5: Don’t undercharge for your services

I know what it’s like when you’re starting out. You just want clients and you want them now.

So what if you have to discount your services to get business? So what if you undercut your competitors to stand a better chance?

Did you go into business to sell yourself short and lose money? If you remember only one thing from this eBook, then remember this:

You must charge a reasonable hourly rate so that you can cover your overheads and earn a reasonable amount of money.

Even though you’re working from home and not paying office rental costs, you’ll have a myriad of ongoing and one-off costs for marketing, equipment, stationery and so on.

You’ll also need to fund your own retirement, and put money aside for holidays and sick leave.

Therefore, as a rule of thumb, you must charge roughly two and a half to three times the hourly rate you would earn as an employee.

Some VAs post their hourly rates on their websites, so do some research and get a feel for current market rates.

The other downside of charging too little is that clients may even be put off if your rates are too low. I know I certainly wouldn’t trust the cheapest VA or any other service provider for that matter. People really do believe that you get what you pay for.

Also, clients at the lower end of the market will tend to be penny pinchers, haggling over every penny.

However, by all means stay flexible. What if you sense that a client could turn into a long-term retainer, but you just need to get your foot in the door? Use your intuition and judgment. But don’t get into the mindset of discounting your services to get clients.

With my EBook ‘Freelance From Home! The Five Key Steps to Your Successful Virtual Assistant Business’, you get a detailed eWorkbook which calculates your average hourly rate, plus invaluable tips on persuading clients to pay you what you are worth!

No. #6: Make your website a priority

The Virtual Assistant works virtually, and therefore is expected to have an online presence.

I would say that setting up a website is something you should do in the early stages of your business.

It can be the first impression people get of your services, therefore a professional looking site is important.

You could learn the skills and design it yourself. However, only do this if you are confident that the result will look professional.

Alternatively, pay a web designer – it is quite cost effective nowadays to get one designed.

Give consideration to the look of the site. Keep it clear and clean.

It must be professional, easy to navigate, and fast to load.

Avoid heavy use of graphics and photos, because this slows down the load time. In today’s fast moving internet world, prospective clients will not wait long before they click on to another site.

Draw up a plan of the site. Here are some suggestions for pages:

Regarding what to put on your site, always write with your target market in mind. Web copy must be easy to read. Use short sentences and get to the point quickly.

Setting up a website is only the first step. You have to promote it otherwise it will just languish there in cyberspace!

There are a multitude of ways to promote your website such as getting listed in search engines, participating in forums, using an email signature, getting listed in directories and writing articles.

No. #7: Get support from your family

Depending on your situation, you may have a spouse or partner, and/or children.

Running your own business is one of the most rewarding and challenging things you’ll ever do. Make sure your family is behind you every step of the way.

Is your spouse/partner the supportive type? How about your children? Will they understand when you need to ‘lock yourself away’ and get that project done? It’s easy to underestimate the impact that running a business from home can have on your relationships.

That’s why it’s crucial to get support and understanding from family members right from the start.

“Discover the Secret To Creating Lucrative Joint Ventures That Can Boost Your Credibility And Create A Pipeline Of Cash Flows Within The Next 30 Days...Even If You Do Not Have Your Own Product Or Have Never Set Up A Joint Venture Before”

This ebook is on the subject of Joint Venture. It reveals how I started my first JV project back in 2003 without having contacts with any JV partners. Using some simple strategies and resources I now have the opportunity to work with some of the top Internet marketers in the world.

4. The JV Project - EXPOSED!

101 Proven Strategies To Get More Visitors To Your Web Site In One Day Than Most Web Sites Get In A Year!

Do you like the heading? Well I would like to thank one person for suggesting the heading - 101 Proven Strategies To Get More Visitors To Your Web Site In One Day Than Most Web Sites Get In A Year!

All credit goes to Mark Hendricks for suggesting that impressive title. Mark, thanks for your help!

After my first joint venture with the launch of the Internet Money Machine ebook I decided to author another ebook. By this time I have tested many of the traffic generating strategies available on the Internet, so the book will be on the topic of traffic generation.

The EXPOSED book reveals 101 strategies for generating traffic to any web site. It took me a few months of preparation as this book comes with a printed copy as well besides the ebook version.

How do I promote EXPOSED?

Since I had first hand experience from my first JV project (The Internet Money Machine), I had to plan another strategy for promoting this ebook.

What was my strategy?

“I will approach some of the top Internet marketers for their testimonials and I’ll offer them the opportunity to promote the ebook upon launch.

They will have the first mover advantage.”

Hey, that’s killing two birds with one stone. So I started planning and creating my emails. I usually create all my emails before I start taking action so I know the flow. After that it will be just copy and paste!

I have my existing list of JV partners and need to compile a new list as well. By the way I also provided testimonials to other Internet marketers and start building relationships with these Internet marketers by now.

Here are some of the emails that I used for the EXPOSED project.

Make sure you craft your congratulations e-mails and welcome emails well. Still on the subject of mailing your affiliates, it's important for everything to be smooth, quick and easy for them. Some just have lists that they want to blast your ads out to. Your job is to make that as smooth as possible. Send them a log in link in the welcome mail, tell them again how much they'll earn, give them some small stats and figures; ‘With just '10 sales, you'll earn $7000’. Emphasize the second levels, no matter how small. This passive earning is really important to a lot of marketers.

Think of this as kind of a small sales letter, but crossed with an instruction manual. They've signed up, now sell onto the promotion with how much they can earn and how quickly. Don't forget to tell them to click the link below, copy and paste the pre-written ads, blast them out to their lists or the list of provided e-zines, and await the congratulatory e-mails from you, saying they have cash. Don’t just suggest an action and expect them to do it. Close the sale. Tell them to do it, and your response will increase dramatically.

Emphasize pay days, and tell them to look out for special promotions and bonuses from you that will give them the opportunity to promote your other products, or even promote this product at a higher commission. This really should have gone in the bonuses section that we talked about earlier, but since we're here, try not to give the reader any excuse to hold off.

For example, I remember four years or so back I joined a membership site and was all ready to go off promoting for them as an affiliate, then when I saw the welcome mail, I was told to look forward to an e-mail soon that would entitle me to extra earnings promoting the product. Just that wording almost put me off. I later found out that it was actually bonuses and top affiliate rewards for the previous couple of months, but see how that mail seemed like a good deal, but made me wait? No doubt this was the opposite effect they were looking for.

You don't want your affiliates to think twice. This letter will have them log in, grab the ad and blast it out. As quick and as easy as possible for them with the best possible rewards, which in turn means the highest amount of additional income for you. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Pivot Levels

Floor traders love pivot points. They act as magnet for price movements. If you observe how price move during any trading session, you’ll notice that price often stalls or stops at pivot points before resuming its movement.

To calculate daily pivot points you need High, Low, and Close Price of the previous day.

Here are the formula for calculating daily pivot points:

Central Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close)/3
Resistance Level 1 (R1) = 2xP – Low
Resistance Level 2 (R2) = P + (R1 - S1)
Resistance Level 3 (R3) = High + 2x(P - Low)
Support Level 1 (S1) = 2xP - High
Support Level 2 (S2) = P - (R1 - S1)
Support Level 3 (S3) = Low – 2x(High - P)

To calculate weekly pivot points, apply the same formula, but using High, Low, and Close Price of the previous week instead of the previous day.

Put everything together and generate entry signals and exit signals

This system is used on 15-minute and 4-hour timeframe. With 15- minute timeframe, daily pivot points are employed. Weekly pivot points are utilized when trading off 4-hour timeframe.

In this manual, I’ll present the entry signals for swing trading off 4- hour timeframe. We use the same techniques to generate entry signals on 15-minute timeframe but using daily pivots instead of weekly pivots.

Okay, let’s dive right in the meat of No-BS Trading System:

Buy Entry Signals: Three criteria must be fulfilled:

a. Price must be above 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA20) and EMA20 must be above 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA50).

b. Price moved past a pivot level (S1/S2/S3/P/R1/R2/R3) and retraced back to that level.

c. A hammer formed.

When the hammer candlestick closed, we enter at market price with three lots. Stop loss should be placed 10-20 pips below the Low of the hammer depending on the volatility of the currency pairs we’re trading.

Exit Signals:

a. When price moves in our favor the same distance as our stop loss we take one lot out. For example, if our stop loss is 50 pips away from entry price, when we have 50 pips in profit we exit one lot.

b. For the remaining two lots, we trail our stop loss a few pips (5- 10 pips) below EMA20. We let our profits run and let the market decide when our positions are closed.

For sell (short) entry and exit signals, the rules are obviously the opposite of the rules for buy (long) signals.

While I recommend the program very highly, I must give you one warning. The tightly control feed of information may not suit your learning style. See my blog Who Coaches The Coach? Rich Schefren Does.

I know from my own experience that for many people, this approach is ideal. It is very clear what has to be covered in the next month and they don't get distracted by what is coming next.

Since profits come from actions, this saves the business advice junkie from themselves (see blog articles Are You A Business Advice Junkie? and Cold Turkey For The Business Advice Junkie ).

Unfortunately it doesn't fit so well with people like me who like to see the big picture of how it all fits together. When I did my MBA I was different from about 95% of my associates because I blitzed through the material extremely quickly to see how it all fitted together before going back and then taking detailed notes and completing the exercises and assignments.

A slogan is a “noun, usually repeated and persuasive that creates a memorable catch phrase, motto, or jingle, that expresses a particular aim or concept. A concept that you want to stick in your audience’s mind like glue to paper.”

What makes a slogan unforgettable? Conciseness is first aspect to consider— normally 10 words or less. The slogan should follow a particular rhythm.

Third, what are the benefits for using slogans? Brevity, as mentioned earlier, meets the requirements of today’s fast pace. Slogans also manipulate decisions, persuade, and add trustworthiness. A slogan usually makes it easier for the prospect to remember and identify a product or service.

Simple powerful phrases motivate your customer's feelings and generate an emotional decision to buy from you. You can augment your sales by using powerful phrases in your sales letters.

A powerful phrase helps your customer envisage how he will feel when he owns your product or uses your service. It creates an imagined feeling and motivates your customer to translate that feeling into reality. Power phrases increase a customer's longing for your product or service and cause an emotional decision to buy.

Creating a power phrase is simple. Start by recording some of the main benefits your customers receive when they decide to buy from you. Then merge a few highly expressive action words about one or more of those benefits into a short phrase.

Dominating Clickbank 'Proof Case Study' #3

Employing my "Clickbank Swap & Double Profit Method" I generated a further $7,000+ PROFIT using the power of Clickbank.

Clickbank product owners are often looking at ways to increases there income. Quite often they will search through the Clickbank market place and promote similar products that are sold through Clickbank.

IMPORTANT POINT: The reason they will promote another product as an affiliate through Clickbank is because they know they are going to get paid on time. The affiliate does not handle the payments, Clickbank handles payment.

Case Study Analysis Report

For my product located at Ad_ens__rof___ide com (Domain name is revealed in Dominating Clickbank Course) I had built an opt in list and customer base of people who had purchased the product

I searched the Clickbank market place and looked for a product to promote that I felt was suited to the list.

*Double Swap & Profit Method about to commence*. I contacted the owner of the product at endlessoptin. (Full template of letter is given in the Dominating Clickbank Course)

Here's a Screen Shot of the "Clickbank JV Approach Letter"

The Clickbank JV Letter is VERY IMPORTANT. It's basic elements say "Hi , I've found your product over at www.yourproductname.com and think I could sell quite a few units as an affiliate. I own a product at myproduct and wondered if you would be interested in promoting my product?"

You will be surprised by how many product owners are open to this kind of offer. It means you are making money as an affiliate AND receiving sales for your own product.

Double the profit.

Here are the results after we promoted each other products. The results were so pleasing we sent another promotion 2 days after the initial one...

An IP address, standing for Internet Protocol, is the actual location on the internet. It consists of 4 numbers, separated by periods. Every computer on the planet connected on the internet has a unique IP address.

Because of that, every website has an IP address that it is assigned to, based on the server where the website is hosted (see the second question for a refresher of these terms). Some websites share an IP address, but usually only if they are owned by the same person.

An IP Address looks something like this: 209.47.137.167. Each of those numbers is called a “node”, and helps millions of computers find your website in a flash.

An easier way to think of an IP address is as the complete address of where you live, which typically consists of a street number, street, city, postal code, state/province, and country. Or, you can also think of it like the phone number of your website.

Of course, we aren’t very good at memorizing sequences of numbers, especially four 2-3 digit numbers (which is why our cell phones list our contacts by name instead of by number).

So the wise people behind the World Wide Web developed a way to name internet websites in an easier way. The computers of the world talk in the numbers, but we humans can use the words instead to connect to the right sites.

While you're sitting there reading this, you’re going to learn how to use two powerful universal laws to help you become the wealthiest, most successful man you've ever imagined.

This may sound like hype, but as you read through you will discover that all successful people throughout history have used these two laws to attract massive success and craft their legacies. I am going to show you, with proof, that these two laws can help you succeed in whatever endeavor you choose.

The whole world is now talking about “The Secret”, an old universal “secret” that has been discovered and rediscovered by top success philosophers throughout history. All successful people agree that this single “secret” is behind every success a man can achieve. Sure, there may be some naysayers out there, but the truth remains: “The Secret” is behind every success in the history of mankind.

Now I would like to share with you the first law that “The Secret” is all about. This law is the #1 law of success ever, the greatest law of success of all time. It is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.

In simple terms, the Law of Attraction says that likes attract likes. The theory is based on the scientific fact that thoughts are made up of a vibrant energy that radiates out into the universe and attracts similar energy from the universe.

For example, if you keep thinking that you are poor, you will attract more scarcity and poverty into your life. If you think that the world is abundant and that opportunities are everywhere, you will attract more success and more opportunities. The energy that you radiate attracts similar energy. In other words, whatever energy you put out into the universe, whether negative or positive, will come back to you.
