What do Regis Philbin, The LA Times, The Mayor of St. Louis,
Missouri have to do with you becoming a MILLIONAIRE?

(From Robert Allen)

Hi ,

“My simple, yet proven strategies for generating multiple
streams of unlimited income work - now let me take you by
the hand and prove it!..."

"On live TV I promised the world I would make $24,000 in
24 hours, and... I failed - instead I "cracked the code"
and made $94,532.44 in 24 hours."

I want you to look over my shoulder, so to speak and watch
how I do it... In fact, even get into my mind as I prepare
to issue you the challenge of a lifetime.


"Time and time again, I'm referred to as 'America's #1
Millionaire Maker’… that means one thing:

I take ordinary people (some of them right out of the
unemployment line and some right out of Regis Philbin's
studio audience) and show them exactly what to do to
create multiple streams of "major" income
- and then they do it!"

"And with the release of my new book, 'Multiple Streams
of Income' I'm on the prowl again - looking for a small,
select group of ordinary people who want my help in
creating instant wealth like I have for countless others!
If you qualify, there's only one small, reasonable catch:

"I will use your new cash flow success story in my upcoming
promotions. So if you can live with that 'catch' - then
you must stop everything you're doing and read the rest
of this letter right now…"

*Important:

You must respond to this invitation within the next 24 hours.
Due to the time-sensitive nature of this opportunity, we must
release your reserved slot to someone else if you do not
respond within the allotted time.

Business Like Image - by Bob Osgoodby

So you want to start a home based business. Just think, you can
work in your slippers when you want to - what could be better? No
commute, not having to play office politics, no income - Whoops
how did that sneak in?

Let's have a reality check about your home business. Can you
work in your slippers? Sure, no problem. If you aren't going to
be meeting face to face with your clients, it makes little
difference how you're dressed.

Can you work when you want to? That really depends on a lot of
things. If you are a freelance writer with little, if any
contact, with the public, yes you can. However, if you are
selling a product or service, and the public will be contacting
you , that may not work.

The normal office is open during the working day, but wait a
minute. Typical office hours are 9-5 and if you call their
number, you expect an answer. If you don't get an answer, you
will most likely try another source. But with the Internet, what
are typical office hours? If you live in New York you are on
eastern time, how about all your prospects on the West Coast?
When you're wrapping it up for the day, they're just getting back
from lunch.

So do you increase your office hours to cover all time zones. If
you're on the west coast, open earlier in the morning - if you're
on the east coast close later at night. Right - wrong. That will
be self defeating, as far as running your own home based
business. Before you worked 8 hours a day and since you decided
to get out of the "rat race", you now have to work eleven?

The first thing you should do is to post the hours when people
can talk with you on your web site. But it is amazing how little
attention some people pay to this. Calls will be received at all
hours of the day and night. Now, remember that anyone who does
call, is a more serious prospect than one who simply responds to
an email.

Should you have a toll free number? While many will argue that
this is a more professional approach, it will increase the number
of calls from people who are referred to as "tire kickers". If
they have to spend "their dime" for the call, they will be less
inclined to call unless they are serious.

But this doesn't answer the question - how long should you be
available to take calls, and what should you do with people who
call outside your posted hours? Recognizing that there is a
three hour difference for many people, you should try to be
available during that period that overlaps the different time
zones. If you live on the east coast, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM will
provide decent coverage. Voice mail or an answering machine
should be available for those hours you are not actually taking
calls.

While voice mail or an answering machine will provide coverage,
you must respond to inquires received on a timely basis. While
you have a better chance of closing the sale if you are available
when they do call, this is the next best alternative.

Another thing that you should do, is to try to capture their
telephone number, the best time to return the call and their
email address if they do call outside your normal working hours.
This works especially well if you follow up with an email sending
them a carefully crafted message. In that message thank them for
their inquiry, and if they respond, be sure to return their call.
If they don't respond to your email, you should still follow up,
however, the odds of making a sale have decreased dramatically.

No matter what you do, you will not close a sale with everyone
who calls. If you present a "business like" image, the odds that
you will be successful, will increase dramatically, and you will
realize that dream of no commute, not having to play office
politics, and hopefully there will be some income.

>>> The Insider Secrets to E-mail Marketing - Advanced Series <<<
- by Corey Rudl
==> http://www.ustoday.net/30day.html

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I wasn't quite prepared for the overwhelming response I got as
a result of my last message regarding Corey Rudl's new book on
e-mail marketing. In order to make sure I haven't left any
outstanding questions - and to let you in on a little bit of
"inside information" - here is a list of the top 3 questions
I received.
FAQ #1 -- "I don't have an opt-in e-mail list. Will this book
still apply to me and my business?"
ANSWER: Yes! Definitely... Since getting everything set up to
actually START an opt-in list is pretty intimidating for most
people, Corey explains EXACTLY what you need to do, step by step.
FAQ #2 -- "How do I know Corey's not full of hot air? How can
you prove these strategies will actually work for MY business?"
ANSWER: Good question... I know I'd be asking this, too, since
99% of the information you get about e-mail marketing from the
"so-called" experts is based on theory and myths that they're
all passing around. Look, Corey not only gives you PROOF –
with hard numbers, examples, and case studies -- that these
strategies are the ones he's personally using to generate
phenomenal success... He's going to give you the exact conversion
rates, opt-in rates, sales-to-visitor conversion rates, etc.
that you can reasonably expect when you apply these strategies
to YOUR business. So you'll be able to compare your results to
the exact numbers he's promised you... How's that for proof?!
FAQ #3 -- "So just how much is this going to cost me?"
ANSWER: OK, this is the "inside information" I was talking
about... Because this is a brand-new product, and because
Corey is anxious to get some feedback on the book from my
subscribers, he's agreed to offer a limited-time 52% discount
-- but ONLY until he's sold the first 500 copies!
So do not hesitate! Go to...
