The money is in the follow up...tip for coastal vacations members

If we are not getting the results we expect, in  any business, the first thing we do is purchase more advertising or leads.

Coastal Vacations members appear to have deep pockets when it comes to purchasing leads and advertising.

If you already have a healthy number of subscribers, especially if you have generated the list yourself, chances are that there are sales ready to be made in your back office, with just a little bit of coaxing.

Bi weekly email broadcasts, a postcard campaign, mailing a coupon, emailing free marketing materials and tips or even a tastefully managed voice mail campaign using www.voiceshot www.vontoo.com or another voice broadcasting service can do the trick in placing your name and business proposal in the forefront of your prospects' mind.

Massive advertising blitzes, fire sale and hypish ads will have prospects feeling that you are struggling to rustle up business and will be off putting.

So my advice, before spending more money on getting new leads or subscribers, treat your current list with care and follow up, you might just be surprised at what kind of profits are lying in your list.

Hope this helps

The Grass Must Be Greener On The Other Side

Coastal Vacations Home Business is no different to most home based businesses where you are able to bounce from one director to another.

If a coastal member is failing to build his/her business as fast as was initially hoped, it is so easy to start the blame game....

1 My director is no good
2 My tools are not as good as in some other groups.
3 I don't have enough product knowledge
4 I see directors all over the internet, my director has not taught me how to do it.

The truth is, there are more tools now than ever before. There is more free training available now than ever before.
There is a ton of free resources available to anyone who is willing to look for it.

When I started in 2001, the choice of coastal websites, was 3, and I have to say, with all due respect for the web builders, they were all extremely ugly and not one offered a splash or intro page and autoresponder systems were no where to be found.

Yes even without the tools I was able to make 11 sales in my first 2 weeks with Coastal.

In fact, my director and I were the first ones to set up replicated sites at no cost to our group members and we offered choices of splash pages linked to an autoresponder series of messages.

Now, you can do a google search and probably not find the same site twice within 20 pages.


My point is, if you are in Coastal, you have ALL the tools and resources you will ever need right under your fingertips and many at no cost to you.

Check out

www.officialcoastaltools.com
www.2ezbiz.org/adhelp.html


If you wish to really know how to advertise on the net and become free from having to purchase leads to make a living, I highly recommend http://traffic.2freedom.com

Save yourself a whole bunch of money and frustration, don't jump ship, but get plugged into all the resources available to you. Find yourself a buddy you feel comfortable with exchanging tips and ideas with and GO FOR IT.

If you have been monitoring Coastal for a while, you will even see some top earners jumping from one marketing ship to another.....

WHY I ASK?

How to Make Your Coastal Vacations Business Stand Out

Being an independent business owner under the Coastal Vacations direct selling home business umbrella, means that you will more than likely have to compete for traffic and sales from your peers.

Being part of the larger Coastal Vacations business structure does not make you immune to bargain hunters and hagglers.

Having a unique sales proposal for your prospects will place you on a higher level when you are put into a comparison line up.

Here are some tips to make your independent business stand out against the other Coastal Vacations teams.

Training. Coastal Vacations offers corporate training. There is however, no substitute for the security a new member feels from being offered one on one training, guidance and support.

Marketing Tools: When a new member joins Coastal, they are not provided with websites or leads. Providing your new member with instant ways to generate leads or to purchase leads for them to get started deters procrastination and loss of enthusiasm.

Airfare Buying Tips

Cheap Airfare Deals seem so few and far between nowadays.

In Europe getting deals on flights is far more common. Hopping from the South of England to Germany can sometimes cost less than a steak dinner for one.

However, I have found 2 resources which may demystify airfares. When you should  purchase them and how to find out if the price you have already paid was reasonable...

www.Yapta.com will search for the best airfares. If you have already purchased a ticket Yapta will get you a refund or credit.

www.Farecast.com will predict when the best time is for you to purchase a ticket.

Now next time you purchase a ticket you will feel good knowing, that you really know you got a deal. Beats asking everyone around you on the plane how much they paid for their seats and getting disappointed when the price you paid was just average.

Hope this helps

Top 10 Ways to Make Your Income Hurricane Proof

Whenever a natural disaster like a hurricane happens or is predicted to happen, the population who rely on brick and mortar locations from where they earn their income are affected.

Flooding can wipe away your home and belongings, and if your place of business is flooded, you might be without income for months.

The average family lives paycheck to paycheck, so a disruption in their ability to make an income can ruin their credit, home and savings.

Those in a home business have known that wherever their phone and computer is, that is where their online business is.

Here are my top 10 tips to keep your internet business up and running when a natural disaster is predicted to occur.

1 Back up your files. I recommend an external portable hard drive to back up files from your computer. Choose one which does not need an external power supply and can work from a USB port.

2 Keep your backed up files on CD or external hard drive in a fireproof safe. Flooding does not normally occur without at least some notice, but a fire can start at anytime, better to be prepared than sorry.

3 You may also wish to back up your files onto the internet, you can find many storage solutions by doing a search for 'online file storage'.
