REO Financing Is Available

2010-05-31T12:21:00.000-07:00

Financing is available to get borrowers into bank-owned properties. Even though there is not the wide variety of mortgage products that were around a few years ago, prospective home-buyers can get loans thru FHA, VA and of course, conventioanl means.

Yes, if you are an independent contractor and cannot show a W-2 that you get from your employer, it's much more difficult to find somebody to finance you, but it can be done.

If you have the right person helping you and have steady income, pay your bills in a timely manner, and if your debt ratio is reasonable, you can get a loan to buy a house. The areas that present more of a challenge are the higher priced areas where VA and FHA financing is topped out. This would at the $700,000 level and higher. Jumbo loans are still difficult to locate. But the other markets are still very active.

Opportunities at the local level still exist to buy homes. Rehab loans enable borrowers to take a home that needs work and do their own repairs. FHA 203(k) loans permit a buyer to purchase a house and establish an escrow with the money they need to fix it up the way they want. This is very exciting because you can get a great deal, have a house that is nice and it's fixed up the way you want it, financed, all in one package.

Many are waiting for the foreclosure pipeline to open during the second and third quarters of 2010. Some areas in the United States still need to see further value decline before foreclosures go through the pipeline and the overall housing market picks up, putting more REO properties back on the market.

At that point, prices for properties all over the nation will get back in the situation where they are increasing, not at the levels created in the bubble, but at traditional levels where you have a 2%, 3% and 4% appreciation per year.

One positive thing that has come out of the real estate market crash is that prices have come back down to where people who could not afford to buy three years ago can now afford to purchase a home.

They are now looking at an affordable price range for the type and size of house they need. These people are still interested in buying and want to buy.

Today, there are houses that have lost 50% or more in value and the industry has never before seen such dramatic percentage drops.

Another plus for home buyers is that interest rates continue to remain low, nothing like back in the early 1980's where they were as high as 19%. For most, it was very difficult back then to sell a home (unless they used seller financing which was plentiful) because the rates were so high and nobody could afford financing. Many products that we are familiar with today, originated back then because no one could afford to get a 19% fixed-rate loan.

The mortgage industry changes every year and no matter how long you have been in it, there are things that are new and quite exciting, especially the technology. More and more people are shopping for their homes on the internet.

It may take 5, 10, 15 years or even longer for the prices to rebound to reasonable market levels and now is the perfect time for consumers to begin looking.

For those looking for a good home loan, they should educate themselves to work with an agent and understand what the market is so they can get a good buy on a property and not waste their time throwing out rediculous low-ball offers that end up not getting accepted while somebody else scoops up the home they wanted by somebody who came in with a more reasonable offer.

New Rules That Could Prevent Your Approval for a Low Rate Mortgage

2010-05-19T17:57:00.000-07:00

For any clients applying for a mortgage after June 1, 2010, an updated credit report will be pulled after your loan is approved and prior to closing. This could result in a delay at closing, additional documentation, or a worst case scenario of reversing the decision based on the new credit report and score.

For clients who apply prior to June 1, and close prior to July 30th, the current rules apply, which state credit must be less than 60 days old at closing, which means nothing will change from the initial estimates, and once you are approved there is no additional information needed.

For those clients who prefer a "Hybrid Loan", fixed for a period of 5, 7, or 10 years, you must now qualify at the intial rate +2%. This means a customer who now qualifies at 3.75%, must qualify at 5.75% to be approved.

While not a large portion of loans being done are these 5, 7, and 10 year ARMS, it could result in higher rates across the board for clients.

Now is the time to apply. Get paid for getting a loan or for referring others. Just go to:

Can Home Prices Increase With 2 Stones Around Their Necks?

2010-04-15T09:44:00.000-07:00

As you may know, our government has created many programs to aid homeowners in keeping their houses. This includes loan modification and requiring banks accept short sales.

So, how's that working? Well, the latest report show that foreclosures have increase by 51%. Many talking heads on the financial networks and many so called "real estate gurus" said the bottom was here or very near. We did not stick our heads in the sand and believe the garbage they were spewing forth day after day. We knew the worst was to come and that real estate was not going to be improving anytime soon.

So, the bottom is really here now with the latest figures? Have the real estate gurus considered the 7.9 million homes that will have to come to market?

Do you think that will help real estate price improvements. That's like trying to swim upstream with a lead weight around your neck. It ain't gonna happen!!

Oh, let's not forget, the market is signaling that interest rates are going to move higher. Just another stone around the neck!

Carpe Diem.....Now...!!!!

2010-04-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

Carpe Diem is Latin for "seize the day" -- in other words, enjoy the present, as opposed to placing all hope in the future.

How To Make Your Online Business Profitable

By: Larry Potter

There has never been a better time to start a business - not necessarily a brand-new business - than now in this economy. You could even start something new with an online business that you already have in operation. Perhaps you could add video to your website with a free program like Jing or Photo Story 3 for Windows which is a free download, or create a series of follow-up emails with a service like Aweber or start placing ads on Backpage, Epage and Adlandpro.

For the true entrepreneur, now is always the time to make improvements to your business. You want to stop doing things that are not working and do more of what's working for you.

So, how do you know what to focus on first when you have a long list of things you want to try?

That's not too hard, just put your efforts into the one that will generate the most profits that most closely matches the core purpose of your online (or off) business or your stated conversion goal.

Suppose your main focus is to build a subscriber list that you want to market products or services to. You need to take a little time and decide what would give you the best return on your investment of money and time. Maybe you need to write more articles, or consider paid search advertising or test your landing pages for an online business.

I've found that the best combination is writing articles that will drive free (organic) search engine traffic to one of your simple landing pages and paid search advertising.

Your landing page should offer a free report on your topic of choice. Those who are interested in that topic will sign up. You deliver the report and follow up with ongoing e-mails that deliver more information. That's where services like Aweber come in handy and allow you to automate the process. Always stay on topic though and don't make each mail an ad, provide useful information along the way.

For the paid advertising, you could open a Google AdWords account and create a single ad.

Surely, you can give up one hour of watching television or surfing the Web to work on your Internet business. Did you know that in a recent report it was determined that the average American spends almost 1750 hours watching television in a one year. That comes out to 145 hours per month, which is more than six 24-hour days in front of the TV every month. If you are serious about having a successful business you can give up one of those five hours a day spent on television or surfing.

We all have the same 24 hours each day, but how we spend them is very important. Stop right now and figure out how to use some of those hours to make progress on your online business goals. There's no excuse not to. Do it now.

A Secret Tool To Help Sell Your Properties That Need Work

2010-03-01T16:37:00.000-08:00

The HUD 203K program is awesome for selling your houses when doing short sales and foreclosures. It can also be great if you’re buying and holding.

It is to be used with properties that need repairs or need to be rehabbed. The HUD 203k program does not loan the money, they insure the money for the lender making the loan.

It is excellent for investors in the foreclosure and short sale arena, because you can now sell to potential buyers who get qualified for the HUD 203K program. It’s also a great tool for real estate agents that deal with short sales and foreclosures.

This loan program is different than a typical rehab loan, because the loan is made in full and set as a long term loan from the beginning, based on the estimated “after repaired” value. The purchase is made, and repair funds are put into escrow and used as needed.

The eligible property must be a 1-4 unit property that is more than a year old. Also, a single family home can be converted to multi-family, up to four units, or a multi-family can be converted to single.

You should know about it when doing your short sale and foreclosure investments, or even just wholesaling! It is a great tool for when it comes to finding buyers, or providing ideas for their financing. It also keeps you from having to do rehabs yourself before selling.

Just find it, get it under contract, and sell it! This is an excellent tool for short sale and foreclosure businesses.

You can get more info at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/203k/203kabou.cfm

And don't forget, if you have rentals, you can get loan mods on them and increase your cash flow without raising the rents. We have one lady who has ten houses she wants loan mods on. You don't even have to be in arrears either! Get more info by filling out the form in the upper right hand side here.

Details on FHAs new Seasoning Rules‏

2010-01-19T09:13:00.000-08:00

New FHA guidelines were issued on January 15 that is the best news yet to Short Sale Investors. The guidelines remove the 90 day seasoning requirements for Investors to gain clear title before a sale can take place to a new buyer who is being financed with an FHA loan. The waiver on the old guidelines takes place as of February 1.

There are several requirements outlined in the guidelines:

1. No multiple transactions on the chain of title within a 12 month period. This means one Investor cannot assign a contract to another Investor or to a different entity before the end Buyer transaction occurs.

2. There may not be more than 20% profit built into the deal without jumping through additional hoops. If more than 20% is warranted, then there must be a second appraisal, documentation pointing to extensive repair and renovation needed, including an inspection report. Inspection reports must include the main structural elements of the house and the main mechanical and electrical elements. Inspections must cover both exterior and interior condition, insulation, ventilation systems, fireplaces and other fuel burning appliances.

Even with a low end property, however, 20% yields a fairly decent profit, especially when you are just starting out in investing. On a $50,000 house the maximum profit without further justification can be $10,000, while on a $200,000 house the built in maximum can be $40,000. You can see how dramatically profit will vary just by increasing the value of the property that you go after in the Short Sale marketplace. Still, the new ruling makes it profitable and simpler to go after low end deals and to put first time Homebuyers in place with these transactions than before when FHA buyers were out of the question. The Homeowners will no longer be forced to wait for lengthy seasoning periods, and therefore fewer deals will fall through.

3. As in the past, all FHA transactions must be “arms length.” Do not try to transact a Short Sale flip with a relative or close associate.

4. The Seller must hold title to the property. Make sure that the A to B transaction closes completely with separate funding, and that the sale is officially recorded. For this reason, it still may not be possible to do a same-day closing with end Buyers with FHA loans; there may need to be a few days to get the deed recorded before the second transaction can take place.

5. Make sure that you are investing within an LLC or corporation that has been fully recognized and is legally set up. Do not try to invest using a DBA. FHA does recognize trusts, if legally set up, but we highly recommend that you use an LLC or corporation as your legal base for your business.

6. The deal must have been marketed. The FHA will recognize deals that were marketed publically through the MLS, an auction, FSBO service, or through a developer.

The original set of exemptions to the FHA’s 90 day rule were for REOs and other properties owned by state and federally chartered financial institutions and single family homes in revitalization zones. Those who inherited properties were exempt, as were certain non-profit corporations. Relocation agencies also fit within the original narrow scope of those organizations exempt from the original FHA rules.

HUD repeals FHA 90 Day Title Seasoning for investor flips

2010-01-16T07:04:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON - In an effort to stabilize home values and improve conditions in communities where foreclosure activity is high, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced a temporary policy that will expand access to FHA mortgage insurance and allow for the quick resale of foreclosed properties. The announcement is part of the Obama administration commitment to addressing foreclosure. Just yesterday, Secretary Donovan announced $2 billion in Neighborhood Stabilization Program grants to local communities and nonprofit housing developers to combat the effects of vacant and abandoned homes.

"As a result of the tightened credit market, FHA-insured mortgage financing is often the only means of financing available to potential homebuyers," said Donovan. "FHA has an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill its mission by helping many homebuyers find affordable housing while contributing to neighborhood stabilization."

With certain exceptions, FHA currently prohibits insuring a mortgage on a home owned by the seller for less than 90 days. This temporary waiver will give FHA borrowers access to a broader array of recently foreclosed properties.

"This change in policy is temporary and will have very strict conditions and guidelines to assure that predatory practices are not allowed," Donovan said.

In today's market, FHA research finds that acquiring, rehabilitating and the reselling these properties to prospective homeowners often takes less than 90 days. Prohibiting the use of FHA mortgage insurance for a subsequent resale within 90 days of acquisition adversely impacts the willingness of sellers to allow contracts from potential FHA buyers because they must consider holding costs and the risk of vandalism associated with allowing a property to sit vacant over a 90-day period of time.

The policy change will permit buyers to use FHA-insured financing to purchase HUD-owned properties, bank-owned properties, or properties resold through private sales. This will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and to revitalize neighborhoods and communities.

"FHA borrowers, because of the restrictions we are now lifting, have often been shut out from buying affordable properties," said FHA Commissioner David H. Stevens. "This action will enable our borrowers, especially first-time buyers, to take advantage of this opportunity."

The waiver will take effect on February 1, 2010 and is effective for one year, unless otherwise extended or withdrawn by the FHA Commissioner. To protect FHA borrowers against predatory practices of "flipping" where properties are quickly resold at inflated prices to unsuspecting borrowers, this waiver is limited to those sales meeting the following general conditions:

* All transactions must be arms-length, with no identity of interest between the buyer and seller or other parties participating in the sales transaction.
* In cases in which the sales price of the property is 20 percent or more above the seller's acquisition cost, the waiver will only apply if the lender meets specific conditions.
* The waiver is limited to forward mortgages, and does not apply to the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for purchase program.

What is a Buyers Agent

2010-01-09T09:05:00.000-08:00

If you are a member of Home Seller Assist you have probably wondered what a buyer's agent is.

Well, every seller who has a home listed in the MLS has a agent (realtor) as their “Agent”. That means that their agent is legally liable to help them in achieving the best deal for their property.

That means that when a buyer phones the listing agent, they are dealing with the seller’s agent.

As for a “Buyer’s Agent”, the buyer who uses one as their agent, has the same legal representation as the seller.

The best part – it costs the buyer nothing! Why? The agents simply split the commission already being paid to the seller’s agent by the seller at the closing table! So if you are buying real estate using the programs in the Home Seller Assist program (also known as We Provide The Cash), you may wish to consider using a buyer's agent the next time.

Home Seller Assist believes the best paces to invest is...

2009-10-03T13:51:00.000-07:00

... in foreclosures and bargain residential real estate.

You can buy foreclosures for as cheap as 30% or 40% below market in some areas.

And according to the Wall Street Journal "“Foreclosed homes are starting to drive down the U.S. home prices faster as lenders put more properties on the market.

The median house price has dropped 8.2% from last year, 2007.”

And now Home Seller Assist has found the #1 place to find national foreclosures, bank auction,

HUD homes, VA homes and they even provide investors with 100% of the funds to buy these

Home Seller Assist says jobless rate hit 9.8% in Sept

2009-10-02T07:57:00.000-07:00

WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent in September, the highest since June 1983, as employers cut far more jobs than expected.
The report is evidence that the worst recession since the 1930s is still inflicting widespread pain and underscores one of the biggest threats to the nascent economic recovery: that consumers, worried about job losses and stagnant wages, will restrain spending. Consumer spendingaccounts for about 70 percent of the nation's economy.
The Labor Department said Friday that the economy lost a net total of 263,000 jobs last month, from a downwardly revised 201,000 in August. That's worse than Wall Street economists' expectations of 180,000 job losses, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.
That's why it makes sense to use a program like Home Seller Assist, also known as We Provide The Cash, to create an alternative source of income. You never know when you will join the ranks of those who have lost their jobs. HSA now provides you with $700 referral fees when you direct others to their Wed webcasts and they just recently re-instated the low $37 fee to come in as a gold member with no monthly fees.

Home Seller Assist: $1 million going further in many housing markets

2009-09-26T14:04:00.000-07:00

By ADRIAN SAINZ, AP Real Estate Writer – Sat Sep 26, 11:55 am ET

A million dollars doesn't buy you what it once did. In most U.S. neighborhoods, it now gets you a lot more.

During the housing boom, prices rose so high and so fast that even cookie-cutter homes in the paved suburbs of South Florida andCalifornia could cost a cool million. In Santa Clara, Calif., a high-tech hot spot, the median price hit $836,780 in 2007.

That was a long way from the days when a million-dollar home evoked images of marble columns and swimming pools with vanishing edges. Subprime loans allowed more people than ever to buy houses that were once above their means. Higher demand fueled ever-higher prices until the spigot of cheap money was turned off and the housing bubble burst. The recession forced many well-heeled buyers into unemployment lines. And sales of homes over $1 million cratered by more than 50 percent from the peak four years ago.

"Everyone has less money than they once had," said Amy Wright, an agent with The Real Estate Office inRancho Santa Fe, Calif. "That has certainly affected the nouveau riche, and that's definitely in that $1 million price point."

For people who do have the money, however, it's the best time in years to buy luxury real estate.

Rancho Santa Fe is a luxury enclave in San Diego County that has over the years lured the likes of Howard Hughes and Bill Gates. Equestrian trails border golf courses, and the most expensive home on the market is listed for $29.9 million.

A couple of years ago, the idea of getting a house in Rancho Santa Fe for a paltry $1 million was laughable. Now, foreclosures and financially distressed homeowners account for about 15 percent of sales, and home prices are down 30 percent.

In one golf-course community in the town, a 2,200-square-foot home is listed for $800,000. Residents live in a gated community where Spanish style homes surround a 250-acre Rees Jones-designed golf course and an accompanying 35,000-square foot clubhouse.

In the 20 largest U.S. metro areas, about 2,800 homes sold for more than $1 million in July — down by more than half from July 2005, according to MDA DataQuick. Nationwide, overall home sales were down about 27 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors.

In the month of August, sellers with homes priced above $2 million were cutting prices by an average of 14 percent, compared with the national average of 10 percent, according to Trulia.com.

The good news for luxury homebuyers is that they're getting about 20 percent "more house" than they did two years ago, and the prestige of owning a $1 million home is returning, said John Brian Losh, CEO ofluxuryrealestate.com.

That is, if they can afford the payments.

On Friday, the average interest rate for a 30-year "jumbo loan" (defined as a mortgage over $729,750) was 6.18 percent — about a point higher than a conventional fixed-rate mortgage, according to Bankrate.com. That means the mortgage payment for a $1 million home (with a down payment of 20 percent) would run about $4,900 a month, not including property taxes.

A buyer would have to earn at least $200,000 a year to make the payment plus taxes — and only about 4 percent of Americans fall into that tax bracket, 2007 Census data shows.

In Fort Myers, Fla., Pat and Dennis Tyeryar are trying to sell their four-bedroom, 3,795-square-foot house on three acres for $999,700. The property is a rare slice of lush Old Florida, with moss cascading off shade trees and views of a river and lagoon.

The property, valued at $1.4 million four years ago, is unique for the area because it sits on a peninsula: Every room in the house has a water view.

So far, no offers.

In a recession-battered place like Saginaw, Mich., however, a person can scoop up almost 18 houses for $1 million. Or, a buyer can get a 6,360-square-foot, two-story brick palace that sits on a five-acre estate.

The house is priced at $995,000. It has an indoor swimming pool and six bedrooms, but the property has been a hard sell in a market where a 2,300-square-foot home can go for $160,000, real estate agent Bruce Shaw said.

Shaw said the home would have been listed for about $1.3 million during the boom.

"It's not like I get a lot of calls on it, not unless someone is moving from Southern California," he said.

In Toledo, Ohio, agent Nancy Kabat has two listings that add up to $1 million — a six-bedroom, $635,000 house in suburban Ottawa Hills, and a three-story, two-bedroom condo on the Maumee River for $360,000.

The house has detailed crown molding and a renovated kitchen with granite countertops. It's also near good schools. The condo has a view of Toledo's landmark Anthony Wayne Bridge and is a short ride to an area with upscale restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.

"You could have a house in the suburbs for the winter and have a condo on the river in the summer and use your boat," Kabat said.

If that approach doesn't work, a buyer can pursue a three-bedroom, Mediterranean-style home in Toledo for $969,177, according to realtor.com. The 4,800-square-foot property was built in 2007 and has a three-car garage and upscale kitchen appliances like a stainless steel refrigerator and a dual-temperature wine cooler.

"We don't have that many million dollar houses here, so it seems that they're holding their value," said Betty Lazzaro, an agent with Sulfur Springs Realty Inc.

And with the Home Seller Assist program ( also known as We Provide The Cash ) offering 100% funding to investors, price is no concern, if the profit is there.

2009-09-25T08:32:00.000-07:00

As you may know, HSA provides 100% funding to buy RE and now has 2 lenders in place for your end buyers with no title seasoning requirements.

Normally, it costs $697 (no monthly fees) to be a Platinum member with full access to the 100% funding, all of the courses (and any new ones), plus the live training/support webcasts on Wed evenings. Well, up until Sunday midnight, Sept 27th, you can join for only $37 and once you bring in somebody else who pays $697 to join, you will be elevated to a Platinum membership with FULL access to everything.

Now, after Sunday midnight, that offer is being taken off of the table and the cost to join will be $697, BUT beginning on Oct 1st, 2009 the cost to join is be upped to $1497.

So, you need to act before midnight Sunday and certainly before October 31st.

Don't wait even if you have to borrow $37 to be grandfathered in!

The words we or the people around us use on a
daily basis, help predict our future in a bigger
way than you could ever imagine.

Take it from Larry at Home Seller Assist, the people you keep around you will make
all the difference. Step away from everyone around you
that might be negative and focused on tearing you
down. Success doesn't happened immediately, but I would
bet those around you that are negative have never
been able to see the kind of success you are shooting
for and they want to make sure you don't either.

Don't question yourself or your ability to
make money online in today's market. It's
doable by absolutely everyone who takes action.

What the heck is Web 3.0 ?

2009-08-30T07:59:00.000-07:00

What the heck is Web 3.0 ?

It's Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 = WEB 3.0

As you know, Web 1.0 was simply an acronym for eCommerce. Back then, retail stores wanted to do business on the internet rather than just using expensive retail storefronts. Many saw the power of the internet to attract an entirely new audience that may not have had the chance to visit their store in person. This would without doubt give them access to more potential customers for less cost.

Web 2.0, in its simplest definition and use today, has become an acronym for the everyday person's ability to communicate and collaborate globally using Social Networking. It has made things more user friendly to us, and as such, companies have come to embrace these new design and communication formats to engage with their customers.

Web 3.0 brings these two worlds together for the average person to be able to harness the power of the internet to begin to profit with multiple streams of income online by introducing products and services to their groups of followers (also known as their list and also as their tribe).

How Leadership Leads To More Home Seller Assist Profits...

2009-08-08T10:18:00.000-07:00

Leadership is what it takes to make it big in this industry.

We all know that deep down. We know we will have to work on

ourselves to be a person that others will gladly follow.

But what does it mean to be a leader? Well, lots of things.

But it can be summed up like this.

A leader has TRUE value to offer others.

If you have real value to offer people they will come to you

to get it. Everyone wants to know how to do things better,

be better, and achieve more success. And they look to people

who have learned in some way what that is, and can share it with

them.

Leadership starts with the intention that YOU WILL BE A LEADER.

That doesn't mean you need to be some fiery, well spoken,

image of a typical leader....all it means is that you have

real value to share with others, and you know how to teach it

to them.

When you begin the process of educating yourself, you begin to

build your own value. And the more value you have, the more

value you can offer to other people. And so, more people

will be inclined to follow you and the quicker your Home Seller

Assist business will grow.

And once you have reached an influential point where others

respect you for what is between your head and will listen....

you create enormous online organizations.

Don't you think it's pretty important to work on yourself

all the time? Don't you think it's important

to build YOUR OWN value, so you have more value to offer other

people?

Well, if you want to make BIG money, have thousands of people

follow you, and live a life of unlimited income,

You CAN...If you take BEING a leader very seriously right now.

The second thing you need to do is Partner With Master Marketers

who can SHOW YOU exactly how to become a leader...and just

as important, how to attract the people to FOLLOW YOU.

In other words...Marketing. You got it, The team

right here at www.aTRAFFICplan.com ... can show you leadership, and

can show you marketing.

And we have systems in place for you that other people

would die for if they even knew they existed. Lets have you

be the one to show them so you can put some of the FORTUNES

we are creating right now in your own pocket.

Take some time to review the FULL tour and then join, afterall

it's FREE. But you have to be serious and committed to succeed.

Here's to being a leader. If you're not where you want to be,

keep watering the seeds that have already been planted and

you will grow.

All the best,

Larry Potter

5 Housing Markets That Have Further to Fall

2009-07-06T06:37:00.001-07:00

By Sarah Morgan, SmartMoney.com
Home buyers looking for a bottom in the real estate market may have been encouraged by housing data released earlier this week. Sales of existing homes rose 2.4% in May, according to the National Association of Realtors. The increase was a little less than most analysts had expected, but it represented the second straight month of improvement. Meanwhile, sales of new homes dipped 0.6% in May, continuing a trend of fairly flat months so far this year, according to data released by the Commerce Department.
Don’t get too excited – it’s still too early to say the housing market bottomed out, analysts and economists say. Distressed properties still account for about a third of all sales, and 29% of sales were to first-time home buyers, who are currently benefiting from an $8,000 tax credit.
The sales trends are telling. “You’re not really seeing a lot of move-up buying,” says Richard F. Moody, chief economist and director of research at Forward Capital, LLC. “There are so many vacant homes and so many foreclosures that [there’s] not the normal trade-up pattern that you would have traditionally seen,” Moody says.
Housing prices fell nationwide during the first quarter, according to Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Index. The decline appears to be slowing: in February and March, the annual rate of decline did not set a new record, but home owners should take little solace in those numbers. “Based on the March data… we see no evidence that that a recovery in home prices has begun,” David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s, said in a statement.
All of this less-than-terrible news has left analysts cautiously optimistic that much of the country will start to see housing prices rise sometime in the next year or two. Looking at the nation as a whole, today through the spring of 2011 may be the window for those looking to buy a house at the bottom of the market, says Gary Hager, president and founder of Integrated Wealth Management, a New Jersey-based financial planning company.
A few markets where the housing crisis started earliest have already shown signs of bottoming out. Early-suffering cities like Denver and Boston are now seeing slower declines in home prices, which could indicate they’re already poised for a comeback.
And in some areas, buyers have seized on rapidly falling prices. Existing-home sales rose 9% in the Midwest in May, according to the National Association of Realtors.
“There will be regional differences in the turnaround,” says Maureen Maitland, vice president of index services at Standard & Poor’s. “Most economists I talk to are expecting the beginning of the turnaround to be sometime next year,” she says. However, she added, “the last market may not turn around for two or three years.”
For those hoping to buy at the best possible price, we’ve got a list of five cities where home prices may still have farther to fall. But keep in mind, getting a house at a discount is still not necessarily a house you can afford.
“In light of the housing market boom and bust, consumers should feel very comfortable financially” before deciding to buy, says Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. “They should not try to overstretch their budget to get their dream home.”
1) Detroit Housing prices fell 4.9% in Detroit in March, according to the latest reading of the Case-Shiller Index. That marked the city’s largest monthly decline since January 1991, when S&P’s backlogged data begin. Houses in Detroit are currently selling at 1995 prices – and with prices still falling so fast, it’s hard to say when the city will rejoin the 21st century.
“Detroit is Detroit because of the auto industry,” says Maitland. The whole Midwest is hurting from car companies’ woes, but Detroit is hurting the most.
2) New York City Anyone who was hoping to see Wall Street suffer from the financial crisis can relax. New York may have avoided the nationwide implosion in home prices early on, but the city saw its largest-ever monthly decline in March, at 2.5%.
“New York may not be out of the woods,” Maitland says. “Because of what’s going on with the financial markets and the layoffs on Wall Street, New York may be one of the last places to turn around.”
3) Phoenix Home prices in Phoenix have fallen 53% from their peak in June 2006, and the 2009 data suggest they’ve got farther to go. In March, prices in Phoenix fell 4.5%.
The Southwest has been one of the hardest-hit regions in the mortgage crisis. The region still faces a glut of recently-built homes.
“In Phoenix, you had some of the worst excesses,” in terms of overbuilding, Moody says. “The surplus of houses is so great that it could take two or three years” for prices to turn around. However, a steady influx of new residents into the region suggests the long-term prospects for the market are sound, he says.
4) Portland, Ore. In the Northwest, median home prices are down but they remain above the national average. Portland’s prices fell 2.1% in March. Home prices in Seattle were down 2.0% for the month.
“Portland’s still going down,” says Dave McCarthy, president and chief executive of Integrated Asset Services, a real estate valuation and asset disposition and management company that collects data on the housing market.
The city “has remained pretty strong but they’re starting to feel some of the effects,” he adds.
The local labor market may be playing a role, Moody says. Portland’s unemployment rate was 11.6% in April, according to the Department of Labor. That’s well above the national average for the month (8.9%).
The Pacific Northwest bubble was among the last to burst, which could mean the market will be among the last to recover.
5) Minneapolis Housing prices in Minneapolis fell 6.1% in March, the largest monthly decline of any metro area since data tracking began in 1987.
More than half of all March home sales in Minneapolis were due to foreclosure or short-sale activity, according to the Federal Reserve Board’s Beige Book, which gathers information on regional economic conditions. Foreclosed homes tend to drive prices down because “the bank’s best interest is to get the asset off their books” as quickly as possible, Maitland says.
How To Profit From This Using The Home Seller Assist program.

Good habits work FOR you.

2009-06-30T05:30:00.000-07:00

Like staking out a dedicated hour every morning to work on that book you've been promising yourself to write. (If you wait for inspiration, or just lollygag around hoping that an open week will magically appear in your schedule... the book will NEVER get done.)

But other habits just drain energy from you. And you probably don't even know which ones they are. They're invisible little energy leeches, rotting your pipes so slowly you don't notice.

Take the time, today, to examine the mostly unconscious ways you've installed "set" activities in your life. Many - like watching TV just cuz it's there - are robbing you of the joy of being alive.

Self-examination is hard. Your brain will resist at first... but you must keep at it, and go deep.

aTRAFFICplan - Is It Building MY List?

2009-06-24T11:10:00.000-07:00

I get questions about whether by using aTRAFFICplan as a training and list building

resource, people are building THEIR lists, or not. And that issue is a little bit deeper that

what it at first seems.

First of all… is your list YOUR list? And even if it is… a list is worthless!

There is some information you may not be aware of about aTRAFFICplan or how it works that may help you in your thinking process about it…

The #1 importance in online marketing is in building your own list… but not only

that… it's even more important to build relationships of trust with your list by

delivering valuable content and being transparent.

aTRAFFICplan is designed to build YOUR list. You connect it with your own autoresponder

using Aweber or GetResponse. Although complete newbie marketers who don't have an

autoresponder yet can just use the built in autoresponders for convenience, but we teach

them right away that it's a COMPLETE WASTE of time to not get their own if they are

anywhere serious about being an internet marketer… it's simply not a conversation I

want to have, period.

People don't know HOW to attract targeted prospects and they don't know HOW to build

a list.

Chances are that if you don't have a list now, it's THE primary reason you haven't

made money online.

Many people THINK they know how to build a list and they create landing pages and offers

that do not convert opt ins…

That's the problem.

The other misconception however, is that people get so paranoid or over-protective about their list…but fail to realize that "THEIR" prospects are also opting into every other website on the planet and there is nothing you can do about it.

This is why building a relationship with your list by delivering quality content is so critical.

It's the relationship with your list that holds them to you. People receive thousands of email messages every day asking them to opt in here and opt in there…

And now in addition to that, they go and follow everybody on twitter and facebook… youtube and a whole host of social networking sites…

There is NOTHING that can be done to protect or shield "your" list… they are not "our" list… we

do not own them… not anymore…

So that's why aTRAFFICplan's actual training and the relationship building tools and resources are even more important than a mere collection of capture pages…

Having a massive list is completely worthless these days unless you're building a relationship with them.

Without the support and leverage of a SYSTEM to help you do this… you have to do it all by yourself.

Without experience… and competing with people like me and others that have an established

presence and the systems built already to leverage… you don't stand a chance… unless you can reinvent the wheel well and fast.

aTRAFFICplan not only allows you to learn how to generate traffic and be attractive to a target audience…

It not only allows you to build YOUR OWN LIST on YOUR AUTORESPONDER…

But it goes further to what others are not even teaching…

It shows you HOW TO build relationships of trust with the people on your list, and it gives you the tools needed to get that job done (as you review the whole tour you'll see the free resources and tools)…

This allows you the advantage to start building relationships and promoting your own programs or affiliate offers BEFORE your competition figures this part out… and then HOPEFULLY your leads actually like and trust you…

Because if they don't like you… know you… or trust you…

It doesn't matter what system you use or how to try to protect "your" list… they are not owned by you and they will not pay attention to your messages… They will find others and opt in everywhere else…

So, that's why aTRAFFICplan was built.

To help people do a couple things they are OBVIOUSLY not doing now (obvious because so few are actually making money)…

1. Teach you direct response marketing and how to do it online.

2. Build YOUR list.

3. Show you how to start building relationships with your list

4. Show you how to monetize your list building.

It's a free community.

There are products inside that pay commissions even to free members… there are affiliate

links inside that are coded to you so you can generate passive income while they promote certain tools etc… and there is a place to showcase your primary program and affiliate products… if you wish.

NOTHING is mandatory. You don't "NEED" aTRAFFICplan.

You can do all this on your own like I did.

Just measure your results. And test. If you don't make money it's PURELY because your own

marketing doesn't work… it's not about companies, programs or systems… it's about the marketing competence of the individual.

I promote a variety of programs including the Home Seller Assist program which pays you $400 per referral and products successfully with my ONE system… in an organized way… and it's pretty simple.

The problem is that many people ask me to "teach them" but they end up telling me how it should be done… :0)

I do it the aTRAFFICplan way and it works...

Hope this helps…

Our 2% Funding Allows You To Buy & Sell Properties Using No Cash or Credit

Webcast Tues and Wed evening, register now: http://www.fastbuyerloans.com

Our funding is not financing. We work with investors who want to buy and flip immediately. We go up to 50 million. So let's say you find a house worth $200,000 but can pick it up for say $140,000 and to sell it quickly, you find a buyer for $180,000

We wire the $140,000 for you to buy it. We charge you 2% plus $500 ( $2800 + $500= $3300) which you pay back after you flip (sell) the house for $180,000

So your profit is $40,000 - $3300, which equals $36,700.00

And you can do as many deals as you wish and we do not care about your credit.

Plus if you direct somebody else to the webcast at http://www.reofunder (you will
be given your own site) and they join, you make $400 instantly and it is deposited
into your Paypal account.

Listed below are our most popular programs that are available to help you meet your mortgage needs. We also have other programs. We anticpate working with you to understand your needs and work with you to identify the right program for you.

VA StreamlineExisting VA Homeowners - Reduce your interest rate without the hassle. Close in 8 days.

NO - Appraisal
NO - Credit Check
NO - Credit Underwriting
NO - Qualifying Debt Ratios
NO - Income Verification
NO - Face to Face Application

All we do is confirm that you have been current on your mortgage payment for the past 12 months.

Conventional Fixed RateOur conventional fixed-rate programs allows for predictable payments over the life of the loan. With this stability, you have longer term options which provide lower payments or shorter term options which provide the fastest equity accumulation (i.e., own your home sooner while saving significantly on interest payments).

Conventional ARMWith our Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) your loan rate is typically lower than fixed rate programs. ARMs can be less expensive over a long period than a fixed rate mortgage. Generally, if interest rates remain steady, you will to benefit from the lower initial rate and if rates drop, your monthly payments will decrease without refinancing.

FHA Fixed RateFHA Fixed Rate programs are ideal for those desiring to provide a lesser down payment than required by conventional programs or may have credit challenges. At the same time, these programs provide the security found in convential fixed rate programs.

FHA ARMFHA ARM programs are intended for those who wish to put down a lesser down payment than typically required by conventional programs or have greater credit challenges. These programs, of course, provide the "unstability" of an ARM but typically, the over all lower interest rate.

VA FixedVA financing is designed to benefit veterans of the armed services, those currently in active duty or the reserves, and their spouses. In order to qualify for a VA loan veterans must be eligible as defined by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans can qualify to put zero down on most loans.

VA Home Loan Fixed Rate programs are the easiest way to purchase a home. Borrower know from the start what the monthly payment on their VA Home Loan will be for the next 15 to 30 years, depending on the life of the mortgage.

VA ARMThe VA ARM program is designed to help our those who have served our country in the armed forces become home owners. The Veteran's Administration (VA) ARM program was established to assist veterans with mortgage loans at better interest rates and favorable loan and down payment terms. As with other ARM programs, interest rates on VA ARM loans vary.

New Home Destruction

2009-05-26T18:13:00.000-07:00

Thanks to the housing implosion, thousands of homes across the country lie vacant - including new ones that have never been lived in.

Many developers are being forced to hand over ownership of these homes to banks.

That's when squatters, drug users, and other miscreants move into the isolated "ghost towns" that are being created.

Now at least one bank in southern California, faced with fines levied by the city, is tearing down the once-promising suburb it owns... because that is cheaper than trying to bring the homes up to code so they can be sold.

Keep Telling Your Customers How Good You Are

2009-05-25T17:19:00.000-07:00

To encourage repeat business, you should constantly remind and re-educate your customers about what you do for them. Don't make the mistake of thinking they are watching everything you do and appreciating all the improvements and additions you are creating.

If, for example, you buy a top-line BMW, you should receive something from your dealer every month, pointing out how your relationship with BMW can further enhance your life. One effort might be a small brochure that offers a free video course on how to better use the entertainment system. Another might be a booklet that tells you how to brake safely using BMW's patented braking system.

To do a good job re-educating your customers, you must talk about genuine benefits - which means you must provide them. Make your products better, and then tell your customers why they are better and how to use them.

Why I said "don't join the Home Seller Assist program"...

2009-05-20T07:15:00.000-07:00

Hopefully, you got my last message about not joining the Home
Seller Assist program.

The other morning I was reading a novel where an attorney realized
that instead of trying to prove his case, he should have been trying
to locate the person who had really committed the crime. That was an
"ah hah" moment for me.

You see, all of my other emails were trying to convince you that
you should join the Home Seller Assist program and I began to realize,
no you shouldn't!

Now for guys like me, joining was a no brainer. I'm one of those
"ready, fire, aim" people. Let me explain: Several years ago I picked
up Robert Allen's book called Nothing Down and I did not wait to
complete the book. About half way thru, I went out and bought my
first two unit using his methods. Oh yeah, it was a bit scary. I thought
"oh my gosh, what have you done?" But then the next one was easier and
four years later after I loss my job, I went full time into real
etate investing.

I know that you probably have an interest in real estate investing,
especially when you can do it and not use any of your money or credit.
And even though HSA will fund 100% of your purchases and show you how
to find properties and end buyers, 80% of you will just sit on the fence
watching the rest of us do it.

It doesn't really matter that the members area has such courses at the
Inverse Purchase system (I paid almost $2000 for it in 2007), the 3-Day
Auction course (which at one time sold for $3000), the short sale/REO
course, the PALMS Agent program and various others, plus archived training
and our live training on Wed evenings. No, that doesn't really matter.

Why? Because you will just let it sit there and not even try. As for me,
I have shelves filled with courses I have bought since 1984 and I did the
same exact thing, but with only one course and that was on buying land and
developing it. Every other one I have used and made money with, every single
one!

When John Alexander called me last June about this program, I jumped in
right away, no hestitation and I am using his Inverse Purchase system
to make huge profits and have several short sales in progress. And I
took advantage of putting a little icing on my cake. I also started promoting
the Home Seller Assist program and made over $60,000 doing so and without one
penny for paid advertisements.

Since you have not yet made the decision to be active in real estate investing,
I'm suggesting you maybe get involved in some other program, perhaps something
like Google's Adsense program where you create blogs and put their ads on them
and when somebody clicks on one you get paid .10 or .25 or maybe .50 I had about
13 of those going, putting new content on them almost each day and I was making
about $100 per month, until Google (who owns blogspot) just removed every
blog I had back then, with no explanation.

Me, I'd rather make $400 per referral or $85,000 like I stand to make on a
property down in Arcadia, FL using the Inverse Purchase system (the easiest course).
I'm up here in IL which shows you can do all of this online.

I'm heading down to the gym now and then plan on enjoying this beautiful day we
are finally having here in Zion, IL about 2 miles from the WI border and perhaps
a mile west of Lake Michigan. Then this evening I will watch the public webcast
put on by Home Seller Assist and then later sit back and enjoy the live training
that follows on Weds.

Have a great week.

Human Desire

2009-05-18T15:22:00.000-07:00

Of all the emotions you can use to persuade someone, the most powerful is the desire to feel important. To feel appreciated.

Get a deep understanding of how to use it, and you'll be set to persuade more … and close more deals.

In How to Win Friends & Influence People, Dale Carnegie writes, "There is one longing – almost as deep, almost as imperious, as the desire for food or sleep – which is seldom gratified. It is what Freud calls 'the desire to be great.' It is what Dewey calls 'the desire to be important.'"

Used properly, it can mean the difference between beating the crowd and having your promo do "okay."

To help you apply this principle, here are four strategies:

1. Become genuinely interested in your prospect.
This is where it all starts. If you can't become sincerely interested in your prospect, there's no way you'll be able to persuade him effectively. The best way to become interested is to do a lot of research. As you're discovering more about your prospect, you'll find something about him you can get excited and interested about.
How do you do this?

You could interview your ideal prospect in person or over the phone. If that's not possible, the next best thing is to visit online forums, blogs, and discussion groups. This'll give you an inside look at what's on your prospect's mind … what keeps him up at night … what his beliefs and ideals are, etc.

Remember, you're writing to one person – as a sincere friend who wants to help improve his life through your product or service. Becoming genuinely interested in him is the only way you can do that.

2. Empathize.
Be sympathetic with your prospect's ideas and desires. Let him know you agree with him. You understand his world.

Doing this helps you gain his trust. And lets him know just how important he is to you.

Here's a great example of copy that empathizes with the prospect's frustrations, written by copywriting genius John Carlton:

"My name is Dr. Michael O'Leary, and until very recently I was your basic 'hacker.' I had a love/hate relationship with golf – some days I'd be driving like a pro, maybe even flirting occasionally with par … while the next afternoon my game would absolutely go all to hell. I swear I've stood at the edge of the lake, holding my bag overhead, one emotional hair-trigger away from tossing the whole mess and never stepping up to another ball the rest of my life. Doesn't it drive you nuts?"
As he reads this, the prospect instantly thinks, "Wow. He understands what I'm going through."

3. Talk in terms of what your prospect wants.
The best way to talk in terms of what your prospect wants is to address the benefits and deeper benefits your product provides. But, as you describe the benefits, make sure you're talking benefits the prospect actually wants.

For instance, telling your prospect your diet pill will "keep your blood sugar levels stable" isn't very appealing to him. Instead, you want to describe what stable blood sugar levels means in terms of what he wants. In this case, stable blood sugar levels could be described in terms of fewer hunger pangs, fewer cravings, and more fat-burning potential.

Here's an excellent example of talking in terms of what your prospect wants (from the same promotion written by John Carlton):

"Now you can learn to use your natural ability to 'load' every drive with 200% more explosive power almost overnight, getting distance you could only dream of before … while nailing shot after shot exactly where you want it, as accurate as clockwork … and, if you're like most golfers, knocking a pile of strokes off your next round!"

4. Get your prospect's point of view.
Says Dale Carnegie, "Tomorrow, before asking anyone to put out a fire or buy your product or contribute to your favorite charity, why not pause and close your eyes and try to think the whole thing through from another person's point of view? Ask yourself: Why should he or she want to do it?"

Follow Carnegie's advice. Before you write an ad, stop and visualize your prospect. And figure out why he would want to buy whatever it is you're selling.
Asking yourself this one question is what 99% of copywriting is about.

It's all about your prospect. Make him feel important using these four tips, and watch your response rates soar!

The Big Disconnect Will Kill You...

2009-05-13T16:47:00.000-07:00

While each and every analyst on your nightly news tells us
how they are seeing "green shoots" sprouting up all over, when you really dig in,
you see nothing but withered weeds. Let's just start off with three quick headlines
that crossed the wires this morning and you can decide if this sounds like green
shoots, or "something wicked this way comes" and you need to prepare for it.

April foreclosures rise. The number of U.S. homes facing foreclosure jumped 32%
in April, led by Nevada, Florida and California. One in every 374 U.S. housing units
received a foreclosure filing last month, the highest monthly rate since reporting
began in 2005. Repossessions by banks were down on a monthly and annual basis, but
will likely increase again in coming months.

More losses at Freddie. Freddie Mac (FRE) reported a Q1 loss of $9.85B as the costs
of mortgage defaults grew, and said it will need another $6.1B of capital from the
Treasury. The company put $8.8B aside for future credit losses, up from $1.2B in
the year-earlier quarter, and expects 'the coming quarters to be difficult,' though
it sees 'preliminary signs of slowing in home-price declines.' The latest capital
call brings Freddie's total to $51B.

Retail Sales fall far short of the rosy estimates, with the Ex auto number falling
0.5%, while last months reading was reduced even further from - 1.1% to -1.3%.

So, where are the green shoots? Maybe their hiding in the latest budget projections?
Well, a quick peek at them shows us nothing but horror. Just two months ago projections for the deficit were horrid, but at least the street could accept them. In other words, we knew it would be bad, and they were, but it was expected. Then out of the clear blue the President comes out and says basically "oops" sorry, those number don't work any longer. Because of falling tax revenues, combined with higher costs for all these bailouts, we're going to have a fiscal deficit for 09 of some $1.84 trillion, or $89 billion more than forecast in February, while the 2010 figure now is estimated at $1.26 trillion, or $87 billion above the previous number.

These are not small numbers we're playing with here. This deficit is 4 times higher
than anything we've ever seen before and what's worse is that this budget is predicted by using the rosiest outlook on employment and economic growth they could muster.

For instance this budget assumes we're going to be seeing growth of fantasy proportions. It projects that "by the end of this year," the economy will be growing at a 3.5 percent annual rate. Where's that going to come from?

Basically, the budget is based on pure fantasy, make believe numbers that can't possibly come true. So, if the numbers are fantasy, so are these deficit projections. In other words, they're going to get worse. Much worse....

That is why you need to get off the fence now and join Home Seller Assist and learn how to flip properties while the "getting is good". You can also start promoting the program and begin to immediately start earning $400 the minute you sign someone up. You no longer have to pass up your #1 and #4 people.

We have our live webcast at 7pm Central this evening and if you join now, you can
attend the live training/support webinar that follows.

Taking Risks Is All Part of the Game

2009-05-07T03:56:00.000-07:00

By John Carlton

In business, the best opportunities don't usually announce themselves ahead of time.

There is no warning. And there is precious little time to consider your choices.

As a young man, I balked at making hard decisions. I hesitated and put them off. Even worse, I told myself that other, maybe better, opportunities would always be just around the corner.

The truth is, most life-changing opportunities are never repeated. And once I vowed to pursue success without making excuses, I learned the value of quickly saying "yes."

That is how I met all of my mentors and secured long-lasting relationships with them. And how I mastered freelance copywriting faster - and with greater rewards - than anyone else in the game. That is also how I've attained every shred of success I can lay claim to. By recognizing... correctly judging... and grabbing onto opportunities that most people missed.

It's often a matter of being in the right place at the right time, armed with the right skills to take advantage of what has been laid before you.

It's not easy to become that guy who is always alert for chances to engage with life on a higher level. To hear what others refuse to hear. To murder your ego and crush your natural skepticism and stubborn reluctance.

But once you do... you'll never again be daunted... because part of being open to opportunity is being prepared for the risk.

Networking the Wrong Way

2009-05-06T05:14:00.000-07:00

By Jason Holland

Networking is a great way to establish personal connections with people in your industry, whether you're interested in joint ventures, finding a business partner, seeking funding, or looking for a new job.

But do it wrong and you can burn a lot of bridges. Here are some things you should not do:

Be too vague. Your friend passes on contact information for a consultant that you know will help your business - so you give him a call. But instead of briefly describing your problem and asking for specific advice, you tell a long rambling story and then ask: "Can you help me?"

Prepare for the call by honing your elevator pitch - a one-minute, specific summary of who you are and what you need.

Bombard the contact with "follow up." Let's say you're given contact information for a CEO who's looking for your type of freelance services. Make your pitch with a phone call or by e-mail. Lay out your expertise and tell him what you can do to help him. Then let him carry the ball. Don't send daily e-mails "checking" on the status of the hiring decision. Nagging isn't going to get you the job. If he's interested in you, trust that you will hear from him.

Forget to follow up with the "connector." When you're introduced to a great contact don't forget to say thanks and offer to reciprocate or help in some way.

[Ed. Note: Networking effectively is just one skill you can learn with Unscrew Your Life, Early to Rise's monthly newsletter dedicated to helping you navigate the trials and travails of daily life, whether you're at home, at work, or anywhere in between. Find out more here.]

How to Build a Recession-Proof Stream of Income

2009-05-04T05:22:00.000-07:00

By George Dahir

Even in tough times, opportunities present themselves... if you look in the right places.
One of the best ways to build a recession-proof income? Become an affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing is the process of using your website to drive traffic to a merchant's website... and receiving a commission for sales that are generated. It has quietly become a $6 billion industry and, according to Jupiter Research, is expected to grow another 13 percent year-over-year through 2012. Jupiter Research also states that online marketers' spending estimates for 2008 were $2.1 billion on affiliate marketing fees, with U.S. online affiliate marketing spending expected to reach $3.3 billion in 2012.

One reason affiliate marketing has experienced such massive growth is that it is a win-win opportunity - for the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant pays affiliates for their advertising efforts only when sales are actually made. Affiliates become an extension of the merchant's sales force and receive nice commission payouts by driving sales traffic to the merchant's website.

Many affiliate marketers do this as their only source of income and make a very nice living.
So what's stopping you? If you aren't making the money you need to live the life you wish to live - or if you just want an additional source of income - affiliate marketing may be for you. Early to Rise's Affiliate Program has had a large turnout since its launch back in February (with 900 affiliates thus far) and the sales continue to roll in.

Change is coming.

2009-04-24T08:58:00.000-07:00

Something is stirring in the wind.

Change is coming.

Some of what you're seeing now won't be
around much longer. It's going to be taken
away and replaced with something else.

Some of these changes may be good; some
of them may be bad.

But if you're still here afterward, you've got to
deal with them - and make a choice as to how
you want to live - and continue to change - and
continue to be effective.

Every breath you take represents change. So
does every thought you think.

Every cell in your body is replaced within seven
years. The physical YOU of today isn't the same
as yesterday - only the consciousness that you
bring from day to day.

So who you going to be - right NOW - this very
moment.

Make a choice.

You're the actor on this stage called life. You're
also the screen writer, director, producer and
audience.

You're the one who is going to make the changes
in who you are.

What changes do you want to make?

Who do you want to be?

Who are you right now?

What do you need to think and do to get where you
want to go in life?

These are questions for YOU to ponder. After all,
change is inevitable. You either consciously begin
to choose the changes you want - or have them
forced upon you by others.

Your Biggest Competition‏

2009-04-22T11:40:00.000-07:00

Competition is a good thing. A great thing. It brings out the best in a person. It shows a person where his true weaknesses are. Yet, after a competition, there is an enormous danger.The person who loses may consider himself a failure and the winner may get a big head and think he no longer needs to practice as much as before.

It is one thing to say to yourself, 'I didn't do well today,but I'll do better next time. I wasn't myself today, but I'll improve on this. I didn't win today, but I'm still a winner inside.' I realize it's hard to do sometimes, especially if you really wanted to win - but it must be done for you to move to the next level.

The best athletes, salespeople, entrepreneurs and so on,don't compete with others as much as they compete with themselves. After all, once you're better than all your competitors, how can you continue to improveif your focus is simply about 'beating the others.' Make yourself your greatest opponent. In order to do this you must go back in time and picture your best moments, your greatest successes.You must relive the feelings of confidence you once experienced.

Doing so is the same as a good friend reminding you of your value; that you're someone special. Only difference is that NOW you are being a friend to yourself. You're going within and finding the BIG SELF who inherently knows that you came into this world to succeed.

I once knew a businessman who was very successful for more than ten years. Then the demand for his product died off and he had to close up shop. He thought of himself as a failure; that he was a loser. I talked to the man and said, 'My goodness, you had 10 years of success. I wouldn't call that a failure. Close this shop and move on. Figure out a way to tap into another current trend and you'll be off to the races again.' He listened. And he succeeded once again.

There are great athletes who go undefeated until the'BIG SHOW.' Then, if they lose the big show, they feel like total failures. But they're not. They simply lost one game. So long as these athletes gave it everything they had in that game, they can hold their heads high. And if they didn't give it everything they had, they can declare that 'next time will be different.'

Instead of trying to keep up with the Joneses and feeling badly when you're not at their level - 'keep up with yourself.' Make yourself your greatest competition.

Working Toward What You Believe In

2009-04-20T03:52:00.000-07:00

By Brian Tracy

When you are working progressively, step-by-step, toward something that is important to you, you generate within yourself a continuous feeling of success and achievement.

And it begins with determining what it is you believe in and stand for - your values.

Successful people are successful because they are very clear about their values. Unsuccessful people are fuzzy or unsure. Complete failures have no real values at all.

Clarifying your values is the beginning exercise in building self-confidence, self-esteem, and character. When you take the time to think through your fundamental values, and then commit to living your life consistent with them, you feel a surge of mental strength and well-being. You feel more capable. You feel more centered in the universe and more competent to accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

Here are two things you can do immediately to put this idea into action.

1. Decide for yourself what makes you truly happy, and organize your life around it.

2. Identify your values - what it is you stand for and believe in. Commit to living in a way that's consistent with these innermost convictions... and you'll never make another mistake.

[Ed. Note: You need a flight plan to succeed. But having the plan isn't enough. Like a pilot, you must make course corrections along the way in order to arrive at your destination.

Consider the ready availability of homes in the area.

2009-04-15T05:25:00.000-07:00

If you want to buy a home and maximize your profits, avoid buying in an area that is undergoing heavy residential development. The ready availability of homes in the area can actually hurt property values; especially for existing homes; due to the simple laws of supply and demand.

If a home buyer could buy a new home for the same price or less than an existing home, many home buyers would opt for the new home. Avoid buying in an area that is undergoing heavy residential development, unless commercial development is also likely to occur and render the location more desirable.

A Recession Days Underdog That Can Churn Out Steady Cash

2009-04-14T05:16:00.000-07:00

Where can you make money these days?

Don't look at the stock market. The Dow's all over the map. May be up one day - but is that real or the dreaded "sucker rally"?

Don't look to your boss. According to a survey by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, 42 percent of employers have instituted a salary freeze - and 14% of those who haven't, plan to do so.

Don't look at the government. They have other worries. I suggest you look at an old standby: the e-mail newsletter.

It can bring in serious ad revenues - even today. Better yet, it can help attract investors looking for safer places than the stock market to stow their money.

Look at DailyCandy.com, which sold to ComCast for $125 million just last fall.

Then there's Thrillist, which is making profits on $5 to $10 million a year.

Start your own Internet business, set up an e-mail newsletter, and you could make $50,000 to $5 million starting this year.

Get the exact blueprint for doing so right now.

Advertising Should Be Simple

2009-04-08T10:22:00.000-07:00

Do people really know what you sell?

Do they understand what your Web site
and your marketing material says?

Or is it a lot of words that means
nothing to anyone but you?

The key to marketing success is to quickly
and simply tell people - in plain language - what you do.

Don't be afraid to come right out and ask for referrals.

2009-04-07T05:12:00.000-07:00

I used to print up business cards that offered a free lesson to anyone referred by a client. I would just hand a few cards to my clients and say something like, "Here are a few referral cards. Each person you give one to will get a free lesson. Plus, you'll get a $10 discount on one of your own lessons."

There was no pressure. If they didn't want to do it, they didn't feel that they had to. But if they were already inclined to give a referral, this gave them a strong push.

You can be more aggressive too. During my brief stint as a salesperson, for example, I would give people a piece of paper and a pen and ask them to write down the names and phone numbers of at least three other people who might be interested in what I was selling. Virtually everyone wrote down some names.

Whether you take a subtle or aggressive approach, implementing a strong referral program is a must for every small-businessperson - no matter how big your marketing budget it.

The Best Feeling in the World

2009-04-06T05:09:00.000-07:00

Accomplishing a simple goal can have powerful, long-lasting results...

Once you finally learn to play the trumpet, or start a business, or get promoted to CEO, or get your pre-baby body back...

You'll notice that people start treating you differently. They'll respect you more. They'll compliment you. They might even try to imitate your success.

And the way you'll feel about yourself is unparalleled. You'll have new confidence. New happiness. Some new stress, perhaps. But new pride in yourself and your abilities.
Achieving a goal you've had for years... There's nothing quite like it.

It's time for you to feel proud of yourself.

What to Do If You Get Laid Off

2009-04-04T10:39:00.000-07:00

By Jason Holland

Companies are cutting expenses due to the economy's downward slide. Not even workers with a perfect track record are immune to layoffs. And with an unemployment rate that reached 8.1 percent in February, it can be tougher than ever to find a new job.

If you're handed a pink slip, here are some ideas to help you get the best possible severance package and/or "exit" plan:

Don't blindly sign your severance agreement. The terms can be negotiated. (This is best done by talking to your boss instead of HR.) You can, for example, ask for more money, extended health benefits, or job search assistance.

If you're in the middle of a project, ask to stay on until it is completed. Explain the consequences if it is not done on time.

Offer to keep working as a freelancer or consultant. Your pay will be lower, but at least you'll have some money coming in while you look for another job.

Ask for a prorated bonus, especially if your scheduled performance review is only a couple of months away.

But don't spend too much time and effort begging your soon-to-be-ex boss to "extend" your old job. Remember, it would be just a stopgap until you find a new job - so direct most of your attention to that task without delay. You're not going to be able to live off your severance for long. That already limited source of money will dry up very quickly.

7 Steps to Becoming the Best in Your Field

2009-04-02T05:21:00.000-07:00

By Michael Masterson

To make this year the year you successfully start a profitable business (or make the business you have already started more profitable than ever), resolve to be the smartest person you know about the business you are in.

It's a bold objective, but it is possible. Here's how to do it:

1. Read the business press voraciously but efficiently. You don't need to spend more than 30 minutes a day on this. Be selective about your reading. Focus on books, articles, and essays that pertain to your industry - primarily the "how-to" pieces. Give preference to authors who've done it themselves as opposed to academics and/or journalists.

2. Supplement your reading by going to seminars and attending conferences. Person-to-person contact is invaluable.

3. Take meaningful correspondence courses. When you find a good home-study program that pertains to your field, don't hesitate to invest some time and money in it.

4. Seek the advice of experts. Write personal notes. Send e-mails.

5. Study the competition, especially companies that are growing. If a competitor is doing well, you can assume he knows at least one important thing about your business that you don't. Do whatever it takes to learn his secret.

6. Network. The more people you know, the better chance you will have to find someone to solve every one of your problems. A big network is also a steady source of opportunity.

7. Be generous with your colleagues and your competitors. When people learn that they do well whenever they work with you, they will be more willing to come to you with opportunities.

There is no limit to the number of new businesses the Internet, with its worldwide reach, can absorb. If you have a product or service that is needed (or simply wanted), you can be successful - and you will be successful if you commit yourself to learning.

A little secret every marketing pro knows‏

2009-04-01T05:30:00.000-07:00

Have you ever felt like you were gambling when you made a marketing move?

Maybe you took out an advertisement somewhere...or maybe you didn't because it felt too risky. You could write your ad, and pick a perfect spot to put it, but who knows if it would actually WORK? Would you make the money back that you spent?

Did you know that NOBODY knows the answer to this question right off the bat? Not even the most seasoned marketing experts. Of course, with experience comes a better ability to guess.

But there's a way to take the guesswork out of it. Once I learned about this, I simply haven't been able to not do it. And I've heard the same from countless marketers out there. Why gamble if you don't have to?

The answer? TEST your marketing.

Instead of just taking out one ad and seeing if it works...Takeout a few. And make them different. Then, measure the responses, and you'll be gathering hard, statistical information on what works and what doesn't.

It sounds simple, but once you get into it, you're on to the real power of marketing. You will learn so much from this, I promise. When it comes to email , one of the best things you can look at for learning purposes is how many of your emails were opened, based on a given subject line. After trying a few different subject lines and looking at the percentage that are opened, you will really hone your skills on how to write effective subject lines for a given situation.

The subject line is the most important feature of an email too-- if it isn't any good, the rest of the email won't even be read -- they never opened it!

Establish your expertise

2009-03-31T06:21:00.001-07:00

Too often entrepreneurs, struggling to survive, send emails and direct mail pieces simply to promote their products. Now, promoting your products is great. But you need to do a lot more than that with your marketing.

Your marketing messages should be positioning you as a respected authority in your industry.

Be sure to include testimonials, endorsements, and awards your company has won, along with your sales message. Of all the small businesses I've worked with, there's no doubt that the most successful ones have established themselves as experts.

Direct Your Social Networking Traffic Correctly

2009-03-30T05:11:00.000-07:00

The traffic that you receive from social networking web sites is very valuable.

This is because the people coming from social networking web sites to your web site already met you and they are checking out your web site to learn more about you.

These are warm leads and you should do as much as you can to help them take the next step with you and subscribe to your newsletter.

We see many professionals directing their social networking traffic incorrectly. They send this traffic to pages on their web sites that contain many different links and options. As a result, the people who come to their web sites from social networking get confused and leave without taking any action.

The solution is to direct your social networking traffic to a squeeze page. Your squeeze page has one goal - to convert your traffic into newsletter subscribers.

When you do this, you will get many more newsletter subscribers and clients from your social networking efforts.

Traffic generation is something that you have to do right...

2009-03-29T15:23:00.000-07:00

...in order to get a good response rate. You can receive a lot of
traffic but unless you have a way to find out who is interested
It is largely wasted.

You have probably seen this many times already and if you
are like most you have probably ignored it. For this reason
I am going to repeat it. If you already have your follow up
system in place then you are on the right track. You only
need to have patience and perseverance and it will pay off.

First you really need to have your own list that you have built up
through your own efforts. To do this you need (1) an autoresponder
service (2) a capture page that describes the product that you are
trying to sell. (3) place the capture form for your autoresponder
on that capture page. Don't tell them everything on the capture page.
The capture page should only peak their interest enough to want to
fill out the form to find out more. (4) Make sure you use a redirect
that will send them to the page with more info about the product.

The main product page should also be the one with the payment
processor on it. Only after collecting their information should you
send them to this payment page.

Seldom do you make a sale on the first view. You must have a way
to follow up with those who were interested in your product. For most it
will be the first time they ever see your product and with out a follow
up system you will have lost a valuable lead.

In most cases traffic generation is not the problem.
It is the follow up system that most people don't have
that is the problem.

Most advertising campaigns to around 100,000 will generate about
600 open emails of those only 20 to 40 will actually click on your
link. If you have a capture page you may get as many as few as 3 or
as many as 15 signup's depending on their receptiveness to your sales
message on the capture page. That is also why you need a source of
qualified leads like I get from www.ATicketToWealth.com

If you don't have a capture page you will never have a way to
follow up with these people to make your sale. You can often make a
sale to as little as 15 people from a follow up system with in a
thirty day period versus 1 sale using a campaign to 100,000 leads
during the same 30 day period using the same leads.

Using a follow up system you have a means to have your people
get to know you and gain their trust. Selling to leads is much
more difficult because you don't have their trust and in most
cases they don't know how you got their address in the first place.

Thus...

Building your own list should be first and foremost. You will make
many more sales to your own list than you will ever make to a
partner list or even to a very good list of leads from any supplier.

The Most Important Key to Success

2009-03-28T03:59:00.000-07:00

A good program will provide you with the raw materials for achieving your goal - but no one can guarantee that you will actually achieve it.

For instance, an Internet business-building program will give you instructions for setting up a website, starting an e-mail newsletter, and writing sales copy. But the best Internet business-building program in the world won't help you build a million-dollar business unless you put what you learn to work in the real world. You've got to follow those steps for setting up a website and set up a website. You've got to use that copywriting information to write sales copy.

When I started off, I had to invest a lot of time in studying. Did that automatically guarantee that I would make sales? Of course not. I became successful because I took action. I marketed myself. I mastered dozens of sales techniques. I learned my product inside and out.

Taking action may be the most important component of success.

"Why isn't anyone joining my business?"

2009-03-27T16:41:00.000-07:00

Most tend to think no one is willing to pay, but if you put the right offer in a person's face, they'll buy over and over again.

It's got far less to do with your company itself and MUCH more to do with how you"sell" it.

Today you'll learn the QVC secret to recruiting . . .

The thing about QVC is, they entertain, make it super easy to buy, they sell visually,with MASSIVE leverage (ever seen those counters on QVCs limited products climb like crazy?), AND all at the same time.

In our world, it's not so much about the company or the opportunity it's more about asking "How can I entertain, sell, leverage, and do it visually with a personal touch.

There is NO more powerful nor simple way to recruit in mass than what I'm about to tell you here.

First, think about your prospects. They are itching to buy something, waiting for someone to give them the opportunity, IF you're doing your lead generation the right way. For your prospects it's a money making opportunity that they've got the itch for. How do you let them in QVC style?

Well, you've got to have personality (yours will do fine) and you've got use a medium where your prospects can really get a good feeling that they know you. You've got to entertain visually.

We're geared to watch stuff, so a simple "show and tell" style is just fine - you'll entertain.

You've got to use leverage, QVC has a TV channel, you're about to learn how to create your own, but you've also got to use psychological leverage like the little counter on limited home QVC offerings. I suggest you check out the simple little book called "Yes".

You've got to sell and inform, this is the one that trips people up, but it's easy. The best way to sell and inform at the same time is to use stories that move your prospects where you want them to go.

So on that last one, let me give you an example . . . Let's say you want to "sell" your prospects on the idea of why they don't want to choose the wrong business, how do you do that? Simple. Tell them a horror story from your past when you joined the wrong business. The power here is, you don't even need to really need to spell out why choosing the wrong business is bad. You tell the story, your audience naturally identifies with you and then thinks to themselves, "Yeah I've been there, what's a good business?"

What do you do here? Move on to a story that explains what a good business is. It's subliminal, you're transferring meaning without right out saying it. So, in other words, all you need to sell and inform are your past stories and an outline.

So how do we bring all this together? A webinar! What's a webinar? It's a video conference where your audience can login and watch your screen. It passes all the tests. 10 people, 20 people, 2000 people. It's still just you delivering one message. That's levearage. It's visual. It allows you to display your personality naturally, and it lets you sell and inform yourself.

Now all you need is a game plan. Let's start at the beginning . . . First you need leads.

As you generate leads and email them, why not once a week hold a webinar for them to attend?

Topics? Here's a couple simple ones: "How To Choose The Right Business" or "How To Avoid Online Scams" Now what do you talk the them about? Let's use choosing the right business as your template. First, we want to inform and entertain about why choosing the "wrong business" is full of heartache and pain - use a simple story from your past. Next, we want to talk about why it's tough to grow a business online. Use a story about all the things you tried to do to grow your business that didn't work.

Now that your audience is starting to feel like things are tough, they'll always have a feeling "There's got to be way that works".

What do you do when this feeling hits them? Talk them about what things you considered when you where choosing a business, again a story. Maybe now you remind them that just a business isn't enough, you've got to know how to market that business too. You go it! Storytime.

Tell a story about a special sponsor or mentor that helped you get your marketing down to the point where you were seeing the first little success. (Here's why: You're aim is to recruit right? So to talk about the help of a mentor will naturally insert the idea in the minds of your prospects that they need the right business, right marketing, AND the right person to succeed - and at the end that person is you!)

Now, I could go on about this stuff, but here's all you need to do at this point: Ask yourself a question "What would fulfill my prospects wildest dreams?" List this stuff out. Put in story form as to why it's so important. Tell that story, and . . . And the end of it, open the doors for limited enrollment.

Congratulations! You've just recruited QVC style! The great thing about this is they will be excited as heck when they join you.

Give it a shot and see what happens. I know you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Keep Your Current Job While You Quickly Transition Into Your New Business

2009-03-26T09:27:00.000-07:00

How in the world do these money-making programs expect you to work tons of hours building up a new business while holding down your current job? Many just aren't practical. But I've found a program that is loaded with methods to get you into a new business while you are working at another job.

You can put in as little as 2 to 3 hours a week in your new business, and still bring in nice profits fairly quickly - often in just a week or two.

And once your business is bringing in enough income, you can quit your current job and focus full-time on your new business.

There's no limit on what you can make, and it is easier than ever to get started.

You'll learn how when checking out all the exciting details here.

Online Life After Death

2009-03-25T05:17:00.000-07:00

Online gaming, message boards, Twitter, blogging... For better or worse, many people live much of their lives on the Internet.

If you're active enough online that you think your presence would be missed by your online friends and followers when you die, do this:

Put together - on a CD, flash drive, or even on paper - a list of log-in information and passwords for the various sites, blogs, games, etc. where you are active. Include instructions, or even a specially tailored message, for each site. It could be a farewell blog post, e-mail, etc. Give this information to a loved one or trusted friend and ask them to "close out" your online accounts in the event of your demise.

The HEART of internet marketing is...

2009-03-17T16:21:00.000-07:00

LIST BUILDING

If, you're not building a list...YOU WASTING YOUR TIME.

That's right.

Like I've said for YEARS ...

THE PROGRAMS DON'T MATTER... not really.

Here's my point...

ALL programs are good if you know how to marketand build a list.

And ALL programs (every single one) are BAD if you do NOT know how to market and build a list...

But it's funny, how through the years people just have a funny way of "not hearing" that...

It's the blatant hype and incessant mis-information that they get bombarded with that throws them off the trail every single time and they end up joining this and that, and every program under the sun thinking...

"THIS ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT"

And it might be... (for others who have a list) but not for the people who REFUSE to submit to FUNDAMENTAL marketing principles and are always looking for the next shortcut...

Do YOU realize what a TREMENDOUS opportunity YOU have with the Home Seller Assist program, IF ONLY, you do NOT keep doing what everyone else is doing?

Imagine... if you KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT, that if you set yourself up to market different than they do... (they is "the masses")

If you did NOT bite on the next hyped up "do it all for you" LIE (program) that landed in your inbox...And instead... you were patient (like I was)

And you BUILD YOUR LIST
and deliver valuable content to the people in your list...

Do you realize how FAR AHEAD OF THE GAME you'd be?

When people ask me, how or what I did to be able to send out

emails that turn into money...

"Where'd you get your traffic" "How'd you write your emails?"

Individually the type of traffic didn't matter.(I use all kinds of garbage traffic and free traffic and it all works for me)

Individually the emails don't matter.(I use all kinds of emails: training emails, promo emails, and they all work)

Individually the pieces DO NOT MATTER.

What matters is the SYSTEM and the RELATIONSHIPS
that are built when the pieces are used TOGETHER as a cohesive system

of traffic generation, list building, and relationship/trust building.

Branding yourself all over the internet for the sake of branding yourself all over the internet DOES NOT MATTER!

Same goes for just promoting the "guru" on your system...
(huh? - yep I'll tell you why later)

IF what your'e saying is NOT resonating or adding value to your target prospects... NOTHING WILL WORK. It's the WHOLE approach.

"This doesn't sound so simple any more Toto!"

Well, hold on... don't buy that one way ticket back

to Kansas just yet(unless you really live there)

It IS SIMPLE.

But to understand how simple it is, you need to FIRST

understand the WHOLE, BIG PICTURE...

This is why the vast majority of online or "from home"

marketers are failing, no matter what programs they join...

People that "get this" have NO PROBLEM promoting ANY PROGRAM.

Their frustration is that they can't get their teams to

duplicate. (whole other story for another movie, but

we've got something for you too leader!)

So they reach out and find WHATEVER system or training

sounds good enough to send their teams into so they can keep

doing what they know how to do... MARKET AND SELL AND MAKE $$$

If you've paid ANY AMOUNT of attention before to what I've

been training you to do about building your own LIST...

NOW IS THE TIME TO CREATE A SUB-LIST!

Tonight.

Call it...

"SurpriseList" or something...

And let your members know that what's coming in my

new and improved"Free Training" will REALLY BE GOOD

and it will BENEFIT them to be one of the first to take

a look when I start sending it out...

I KNOW EXACTLY what marketers are looking for and what

they would appreciate greatly in this industry...

1. New Marketers... they want and need and APPRECIATE certain

services and training and if YOU are the one that leads them to it...

they will be FIERCELY LOYAL to you...

2. Experienced Marketers... (they can be tricky, depending on ego issues)

But by and large they need a distinct set of tools, resources and assistance

that lets them continue to be the "Good Leader" at the same time tapping

into "refreshing" amounts of automation and leverage so they can keep

focused on building... and have their teams happy and loyal and productive

(right leaders?)

So anyway...That's all I'm going to say for now.

But here's what you want to do...

1. Create a sublist. Let your prospects know that your

team is up to something crazy but it sounds like it's going

to be really good and it would be a good idea to be the first

to actually take a look.

2. Keep building your list.

Build that list.

Enjoy the family. Be the BEST at your work so you can

build something of your own on the side WITHOUT being

too stressed out about it...

And stay tuned in... this will only take me a couple more weeks...

and you'll really like what you see...

All the best,

Huge News On The Funding Rate

2009-03-16T18:17:00.000-07:00

The Home Seller Assist program, also known as We Provide The Cash, created

by John Alexander has just lowered their funding rate from 3% down to 2%,

plus a $500 fee, payable AFTER you flip the property and collect your profits.

As an example, let's say you find a property you can buy for $200,000 and

can flip (sell) for say $250,000. Once you have your end buyer in place, HSA

will fund 100% of your purchase price for you with no credit check and no

bank qualifying. They will charge you 2% of the purchase price ($4000), plus

a $500 fee for a total of $2500.

In this case your profit is $50,000. They deduct their $2500 from your profits

after you sell the property which leaves you with a $47,500.00 profit!

The funding can be used to flip any kind of property including but not limited to

short sales, REOs, commercial properties, etc....

You must first register at the bottom of http://wwww.fastbuyerloans.com/

and then attend one of the new webcasts Mon-Wed

https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/800088503

Time Zones: 8:00 EST pm / 7:00 CST pm / 6:00 MTN pm / 5:00 PST pm

Accomplishing a simple goal can have powerful, long-lasting results...

Once you finally learn to play the trumpet, or start a business, or get promoted to CEO, or get your pre-baby body back...

You'll notice that people start treating you differently. They'll respect you more. They'll compliment you. They might even try to imitate your success.

And the way you'll feel about yourself is unparalleled. You'll have new confidence. New happiness. Some new stress, perhaps. But new pride in yourself and your abilities.

Achieving a goal you've had for years... There's nothing quite like it.

It's time for you to feel proud of yourself.

The Lemmings Are Going Over The Edge

2009-03-13T12:28:00.000-07:00

If you get a chance later on, grab a copy of this weekends USA Today from your local convenience store. And then TEAR IT APART as an act of faith towards your own prosperity and abundance.

The Chicken Little syndrome is rehearsed and played out quite well in the media today. They want you to believe in the doom and gloom that's apparently staring down every man, woman and child in the U.S. and around the globe.

They want you to believe that everyone is broke. That everyone is living in a state of uncertainity. What a pile of bogus crap!

You and I live in land of CERTAINITY.

Reason being is because we CREATE our own CERTAINITY between our own EARS.

If you allow the negative energy from newspapers, TV and other media sources to funnel their way into your precious mind, then you too will fall in line with the masses like lemmings.

Now I'm not saying that we can't have compassion and empathy for those who have lost homes, jobs, income, marriages, etc.... as a result of the economic conditions the world as a whole is facing. Not at all. The masses need support now more than ever.

All I'm suggesting is NOT to buy into their way of thinking that got them to where they are right now!

You can listen with open ears to their stories of struggle, despair, frustration and lack. But close your mind off to accepting their stories as TRUTH for you.

You're an ELITE member of a higher class.

The simple fact that you're getting this is a bold exhibit of your own decision for more.

12 years ago, I buried my "woo-is-me" attitude and went in search of higher thinking. Because I knew intuitively that there had to be something that set apart the ELITE few from the masses. And I was right!

The main difference is in how the ELITE few think, perceive and re-act to all types of situations, on all levels.

Case in point...Standing in line at the local gas station this morning, I over-heard to two preppy middle aged guys in front of me talking about the USA Today paper and its "sky is falling" like headline. Both men commented on the fact that neither one of them could envision for themselves such LACK as to the point of having to eat roman noodles just to survive.

And the REASON why they couldn't envision for themselves such lack?
Because they're thinking on a much higher level than the average person.
They "SEE" nothing but abundance and prosperity around them.
And as a result, their world doesn't worsen, but rather it improves.

For you... Hopefully you'll start to avoid the news like I do.

You'll be amazed at how much more focused and channeled you can be without all that negative clutter rattling around in your head.

Ok, I'm outta here. It's Friday afternoon.

Have a great weekend.

Test Alternative Headlines

2009-03-12T17:36:00.000-07:00

Make no mistake... your headline is the MOST important element on your website and in your emails! The stronger your headline, the greater your chances that a new visitor will stick around on your site long enough to buy something or open your email. A good headline should GRAB your visitors' attention, tell them -- in less than 10 seconds -- what the main benefits of your site are, what makes you better than your competition, and encourage them to read further, to find out more about what you've got to offer. That's a LOT of work for one single headline to do, so understandably, it can take a while to find one that accomplishes those goals effectively... and all at the same time! So be sure you're constantly testing new headlines, even if you already feel like your current headline is performing for you. You may surprise yourself and find one that improves sales even MORE. But don't just test the content of your headline... Bear in mind that the Internet is a visual medium, and the way a headline looks can also have an impact on its success. So be sure to test other elements, like color, and for visual interest, consider bolding, highlighting, or italicizing the most important words. Larry Potter www.ATicketToWealth.com

Achieving a goal you've had for years... There's nothing quite like it.

It's time for you to feel proud of yourself.

Give Value

2009-03-09T07:07:00.000-07:00

Not every marketing message should be a targeted sales pitch for the Home Seller Assist program, also known as We Provide The Cash.

Not every conversation has to revolve around their decision to buy or not buy.

When building your relationship with your prospects, give them something of immeasurable worth... knowledge.

Here are some suggestions of ways to include valuable content (and start leading your contacts to an eventual sale):

Newsletters
Tips and tricks of your industry
Upcoming industry related events
Links to news articles about your industry
Free reports and whitepapers
Celebrity stories related to your products/services
And just about anything else!

Nobody knows your Home Seller Assist business better than you do. Taking the time to share your knowledge with your contacts will build that relationship of trust and appreciation.

These ideas cost you nothing, but could be worth a fortune in additional sales.

Remember, your prospects and customers should mean more to you than an occasional sale.
Give them value and watch your customer ROI soar!

Craigslist Phone Verified Account Tip‏

2009-03-08T16:10:00.000-07:00

IF you use phone verified accounts, you perhaps already found out that sometimes your PVA are placed on hold with no particular reason.

Well, there is always a reason: Couple of tips for you to make your PVA stay longer and save money:

* Craigslist set up a new rule, if you will post more then 1 ad every 1 day every 1 account, your account may be placed on hold after a week or so. Don't try to overpost, it's not needed anymore. Focus more on your ad copy and targeting the right market, you will attract less people but more targeted, which equals more sales.

* If you have a lot of ads flagged in your account, Craigslist will conclude that you are posting irrelevant ads all the time, rubbish. You don't contribute to the community with good ads. That's why Craigslist can block your account.

The Ants Have It Right

2009-03-07T09:34:00.000-08:00

You've heard of worker ants, who dig tunnels... collectors, who go out in search of food... and the queen, of course, who rules the colony. But an anthill is a big place, and there are a lot more jobs to do.

Here are a few you've probably never heard of:

Garbage removers, who take "trash" out of the nest

Morticians, who remove dead ants

Explorers, who count their steps to figure out the way back home

Internet marketers, who work on building the list and executing product launches

Farmers, who herd and "milk" other bugs and cultivate fungus for food

(Okay. Just kidding about the Internet marketers. But the rest is true.)

WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU BETTER BE RUNNING

2009-03-06T09:15:00.000-08:00

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up, It knows it better run faster than the faster lionor it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it betterrun faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starveto death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.

The moral: WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU BETTER BE RUNNING.

Yes, part of life is about surviving tough times, times of crisis. And not just economic turmoil or the loss ofone's job. I'm talking about natural disasters, accidents and so on.

One of the ways non-survivor's operate is a recipe for disaster. It can be found in their self-talk.

Here's how it goes: Whenever a disaster strikes, they sit or stand around and repeat, "I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe what just happened. I can'tbelieve it. I can't believe it."

"I CAN'T" is NOT survival self-talk. It cannot and will not get you out of trouble - no matter how big or how small.

"I can't believe I got fired. I can't believe I don't have a job. I can't believe no one will give me a job." All of these 'I CAN'T' statements lead to nothing but more frustration.

"I can't believe our house is on fire," won't help. "I can't believe I just got in an accident," doesn't help. "I can't believe I got sick," is ineffective. The self-talk of survivors is more like the surviving gazelle and lion.

You get up, you acknowledge the situation, and you,metaphorically speaking, start running. You don't sit around and complain. Instead, you say,"This isn't good. I better hustle. I better move and NOW."

You ask yourself questions, "How can I survive this?" And you act upon what comes to mind.

You ask for divine guidance and help. Don't laugh. Faith in a Higher Power was ranked as the #1 key to survival by those who study this subject.

Belief and faith do NOT include the words, "I CAN't." They do include, "I CAN AND I WILL."

Are you telling yourself you cannot succeed because you do not have enough leads for your Home Seller Assist business? Then do something about it and do it now! Just Tap Here

Dream BIG

2009-03-05T07:33:00.000-08:00

The folks in your team will look up to you for guidance.

They want to dream big and have great things happen to them, but their fears and worries prevent them from taking action. It is up to you to do that for them.

To dream big, you must associate with the right folks, so join mastermind and peer groups that challenge you and get you outside of your comfort zone.

Imagine sitting around a boardroom table with all of your business and intellectual heroes.

Imagine surrounding yourself with the top advisors in your industry.

That's what it's like when you associate with people who are smarter than you.

The Success of Humility

2009-03-03T05:20:00.000-08:00

The greater your expertise, the more likely it is that you are
going to unintentionally rub people the wrong way by coming across
as arrogant and insensitive.

The good news is there's an easy way to prevent this misconception.

Mention your homework.

When you talk with potential customers or prospects you might begin
by mentioning the homework you have done on the real estate market.
You might also use the mortgage market, the economy, the employment
of the area, the crime in the area, the foreclosure situation in the
area, etc.

Don't use all of them maybe just one or two when appropriate.

It's an opportunity to let them know that you are truly interested
and a powerful way to confirm that you are knowledgeable without
coming across as one who brags.

Here's one that I often use; Imagine as you are talking to the seller
for the first time and you ask the question, "does the house next door
to the property have a pool?" You casually mention this as you are
browsing on Google Maps the property address. Do you know what kind of
an impact you have on that seller? They think, "wow, this investor really
knows his business!"

Confirm your understanding.

You may be a great listener, but are you perceived as such? Being
regarded as a poor listener is a surefire way to kill a deal or shorten
your career as an investor or Home Seller Assist leader.

By using a little humility, this is easy to correct. Here's the key:
Simply repeat your understanding of their needs with the phrase "Let
me make sure I've got this straight."

If your ego were running your life, you'd never say that.

Ask permission to present.

You've probably heard the expression that people don't like to be sold to,
but they love to buy. That means that before you present the benefits of
your product or services, remember to ask permission.

Ask permission to present with "Based upon what you've told me, I do have
some thoughts. Would you like to hear a couple of options that I think would
fit for you?" Once the other person agrees, they'll feel less like they are
being forced, and more like they are being helped.

Use some of these ideas and methods when you are on that first phone call or
when you call the sellers back to give them their prices and options.

You will soon realize the success of humility.

Keep on marketing, it’s going to work!

Seth Godin on Remarkability

2009-03-02T04:59:00.000-08:00

"If people aren't discussing your products, your services, your cause, your movement or your career, there's a reason.

"The reason is that you're boring. (I guess that's what boring means, right?) And you're probably boring on purpose. You have boring pricing because that's safer. You have a boring location because to do otherwise would be nuts. You have boring products because that's what the market wants. That boring staff? They're perfectly well qualified...

"You don't get unboring for free. Remarkable costs time and money and effort, but most of all, remarkable costs a willingness to be wrong.

"Remarkable is a choice."

Is Home Seller Assist Better Than Your Business?‏

2009-03-01T09:11:00.000-08:00

First, a quick test.

Go into any network marketing forum online and ask this . . . "I'm new to the network marketing industry and I'm looking for a good company to join,does anyone have any good suggestions?" And then just watch what happens . . .

First off, it's going to be the most popular thread in the forum for about a week or so,and second it's going to be filled with network marketers jumping to your rescue telling you why their company is so much better than the next guys, and you know what? It really doesn't matter.

Until those in the industry understand that it's not about companies, it's about delivering unique value to your growing and developing organization network marketing, it's going to continue to have a high failure rate.

If you ever get caught handling the objection of "why I should join your Home Seller Assist business" do not try explaining the comp plan and how great the product or service is. Do NOT do it!

Why? It's wrong first off - it's exactly what the other 20 people trying to get your recruit are doing and that potential recruit is confused out of his or her mind because of it all. And it's not really what they are looking for.

Let me explain a little more about network marketing than you might want to know.

The industry is great. It allows average everyday people like you and I to achieve extra ordinary things and grow into the people that deserve it, but when we start we're not extra ordinary, we just have a hope. And we take a leap of faith. We join a business and we say "Just tell me what to do to make money and I'm on it" Not wrong, but dangerous because we take a leap for a second and then we revert to the old J.O.B. mentality.

"Just give me a job I can do that will make me money and I'll go do it", is what they are really saying. And so what most leaders do is they give their recruits exactly that . . . A job. And the worst job in the world at that: Call a bunch of people you don't know and read some script to them and take what comes at you. Yuck!

But we happily oblige, and for most that job never pans out.

The danger is we try to build the company up into something irresistible that our prospects can't help but to join and in the process diminish ourselves into obscurity. Very dangerous because this leaves the prospect choosing between companies,something we have no control over when, in fact, we should be making them choose US, something we have complete control over.

When they choose YOU you can win a lot more than when they are choosing between corporations. Think back . . . Why did you join the Home Seller Assist program? Was it because of the company OR the person in the company that was going to show you how to use the company as a vehicle to your life's dreams?

Most of us choose a company for the second reason whether we consciously know it or not and it's why we should choose a company in the end, anyway. A network marketing company is only as strong as it's leaders and a leader is only as strong as his or her leaders. And what leaders do is they take the choice of choosing the company that a prospect joins away, from the technical aspects of the company and make their prospects decided whether or not to choose them. And when they think from that standpoint, most of the time they turn into top recruiters. People choose people.

Make your prospect think about joining YOU instead of your company, almost as if the company could be anything - it's just something in the background that you are going to use to help THEM achieve their most exciting dreams, and once you start doing this you'll start recruiting more people than you can handle. As an industry we MUST get away from diminishing ourselves and building up our company and start to do the exact opposite. But don't wait for the industry to change

Start the change in you right now.

Fancy Graphics?

2009-02-27T05:32:00.000-08:00

There's a house for sale in the neighborhood. Has been for over a year.

Not uncommon in today's market. But the home's Pepto pink and lime green facade - in a neighborhood of conservative homes painted in subtle, neutral colors (many of which are also for sale) - makes me think it will continue to be on the market for quite a while.

Eye-catching, for sure. But if the owner thinks that's giving him an advantage in the marketplace, he's making a big mistake.

Are you doing the same thing with the website for your Home Seller Assist business - depending on flashy graphics to make the sale for you?

Fancy websites with animation, music, and the like may keep Web designers happily employed, but they do nothing to help you sell your program.

Your Home Seller Assist business site should be simple and clean, with a clear call to action.

You want to convince visitors to buy the program with an easy to read and understand sales message, not dazzle them with design.

The "irrational" markets are over.

2009-02-26T05:02:00.000-08:00

The wild appreciation in real estate values over the 10-year period that peaked in 2006 is
history.

There's no argument from anyone on that point.

Combine that with the failure of huge banks and home lenders, and you have a very tight money market restricting any short-term price growth, but this is providing those working the Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander and also known as We Provide The Cash, a huge opportunity.

Psychology Of Recruiting‏

2009-02-24T08:21:00.000-08:00

A lot of people ask the following question: "Can you just show me a simple step by step system to grow my business that doesn't cost me a lot?"

It's a good question, but I'm revealing this to you today not to answer it, but to dig beneath it and use it to help you recruit more people into your Home Seller Assist business.

So think about that question for a second. What does it say to you?

What it shows me is that many people are willing to work if they have a game plan. They just want to know "How".

More than your company's products or services, more than how great your comp plan is . . .

Most of your prospects simple want to know how you can help them quit their job, or supplement their social security income.

They want it to be simple, and they want action steps. If I've learned anything about marketing it's listen to your market and then give them what they want.

Be the provider of that and recruiting will never be a problem again.

Turning Real Estate Website Traffic Into Profits

2009-02-23T06:19:00.000-08:00

When starting out with a new website, one of the biggest focuses is on traffic. This idea is well served because even with the most impressive website around, if no one views it, it doesn't do you any good. The problem with this being the focus though is that most real estate agents always keep that focus on traffic instead of how they can turn that traffic into revenue.

Converting Traffic to Leads

The first step into making that traffic profitable is to ensure that as much of your traffic as possible actually converts into fresh new leads via e-mail and the phone. Leads are the lifeblood of any business and a steady flow of leads provides you with the opportunity to pick the best clients to work with.

How?

When a visitor is on your Home Seller Assist website they have to have a reason to pick up the phone or send you an e-mail. Without some motivation to contact you, they simply won't do it. You don't want to do anything crazy like offer a gift card for their information, just provide a call to action that they can't resist!

Calls to action empower your web visitors to get the information they want in the format they want. For example, when you have a page on your website that is written about a neighborhood, provide them the ability to get listings in that area. You can simply write "Get ALL the homes available in MyNeighborhood Now" and that link would take them to a form to fill out so they can get the home listings in that neighborhood. Your call to action in this example is compelling and easy for the consumer to take action on.

Converting Leads to Appointments

In order to make that traffic ultimately profitable, you can't stop at just generating leads. Leads are a great first step and once you have that down you can really focus on booking appointments. The skills involved with converting leads to appointments are responding to e-mails and picking up the phone.

Tackling the Phone

People making requests on websites for real estate information do want to be called. They don't want to feel pressured when you call, but they certainly do want help, otherwise they wouldn't have put in their phone number!

It is important to call people who make requests as soon as you possibly can. After doing studies on websites across the country, we found the most effective time frame is to call them in under seven minutes because they will often still be on your website.

Keep your conversations short and provide them the opportunity to meet with you. The opportunity you will provide them by meeting you is the ability to save them from making more requests all across the web so they can actually find the property they are looking for.

A New Focus

After that first push of getting traffic to your website, make sure to put the focus on converting traffic into leads, and those leads into appointments. The process doesn't have to be fancy, but keeping the focus on leads and appointments means you will have more transactions each and every month.

There are only two ways to “get good” at things in life...

2009-02-21T13:14:00.001-08:00

You can learn on your own through trial and error like the woman in the story above insists on doing, or you can learn from someone else who’s already paid that price which is what I like to do.

And in case you haven’t figured it out yet, “buying” someone else’s life experiences in the form of a book or consulting is ALWAYS 100’s or even 1000’s of times cheaper than trying to figure it out on your own.

When you buy a copy of Magnetic Sponsoring, you’re not just buying a “course”.

You’re buying 10 years worth of experiences and over $100,000 in lessons learned the hard-way so you can skip all the crap and instantly dive right into what works.

What you’re buying is a short-cut, and I can’t think of anything worth more money than a nice, simple guide filled with someone else’s mistakes and victories.

I can’t promise your success. No one can.

But in the end, the choice is obviously yours.

Marketing Tool Guide

2009-02-20T17:48:00.000-08:00

Did you know there are now over 1 Billion Internet users around
the world. And that number is increasing every day.

That's roughly one sixth of the world's population now using the web
to surf, to find information, and of course - to shop... that's one
enormous marketplace.

Likewise, many individuals just like yourself, have taken advantage
of this new medium and created successful online websites and
businesses. In the process these online marketers have carved out
an envious lifestyle - working at home or wherever they want,
working their own hours, creating part-time or full-time incomes
for themselves and their families.

Many have attained a level of personal and financial freedom,
rarely experienced this side of a Bill Gates's luncheon.

Along the way many of these marketers and ordinary people have
realized in order to fully maximize their benefits from sales and
traffic you need professional marketing tools. In other words,
you need high quality proven marketing tools and software to
make your job easier and quicker. These marketing tools will
save you time, money and stress! A whole lot of stress!

But more importantly, it is these effective marketing tools which
give you the freedom that makes the whole online marketing
experience so envious. These tools will Liberate you from
hours or even days of tedious work. These marketing tools do
most of the work for you. Professional marketers know a one-time
investment in high quality effective marketing tools will pay
dividends again and again... they also know it is the only way
to proceed.

Use scarcity to sell more product?

2009-02-19T17:04:00.000-08:00

Using phony scare tactics is almost always a bad idea. Honesty is a better policy.

The most effective way to do this is to come up with a scarcity tactic that's honest and sounds reasonable. That creates genuine urgency to get some prospects off the fence they're sitting on.

What you want to do is have a good reason behind thes carcity claim you're making.

Anybody can scream,"Quantities are limited!" You need to do more than that. For example, one way to create scarcity is to limit the number of copies of the product you sell.

But why are you limiting it? That's where you need a good reason so your claim doesn't sound like hype.

You might say something like this: "I struck a deal with a contributor to this that I would sell only 125 copies, so when they're gone, they're gone. Don't wait and miss out on this. When the doors close, I can't make exceptions."

Assuming you actually did strike a deal with a contributor like that, you've got a great scarcity claim to make. The point is, you don't want to whip prospects into a buying frenzy based on a false sense of urgency. If you develop a reputation for doing that, your scarcity claims will lose their effectiveness. You'll also get a reputation as somebody who screams about scarcity when it's really not scarce.

And by the way, when you make a scarcity claim, stick to it! If you say you'll take down the sales page by next Tuesday, don't leave it up until Wednesday. That will ruin your reputation fast.

By Brendan Florez

Let's say you're trying to convince a potential customer/employer/investor to begin a relationship with you with the Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander. There are only three ways to do it, and they are not equally effective. From worst to best, here they are:

1. Tell them how great you are.

This is the least effective method, but it's better than nothing. The key here is to be honest and not come across as trying too hard to impress. When an older gentleman asked Bono what he did for a living, the rock star said, "I'm a musician." Don't be shy about your accomplishments, but don't oversell yourself either.

2. Have others tell them how great you are.

Marketers have a name for this - social proof. If you and your customer have a mutual friend, ask that friend to put in a good word for you. If not, think about who else your customer might consider asking about you, and seek to make a good impression.

3. Show them how great you are.

Nothing's more powerful than a customer witnessing your expertise first hand. If you're a marketer, offer some quick marketing advice for a problem they have. If you're a property manager, give them a tour of your places and show them the financials. Find a way to directly demonstrate your skill, and your chances go way up. That is why I provide a Home Seller Assist newsletter.

The real power of these techniques comes when you do them together. Spend the majority of your time focused on #2 and #3, and #1 will take care of itself.

Creating emails people want to open

2009-02-17T12:41:00.000-08:00

How do you ensure people will actually open and read your emails?

The content for your email is of course, hugely important, and the structure of your email matters more than you might think.

If handled correctly, your email campaigns will deliver some fine benefits.

You'll get greater visibility, maintain and even improve your image, and beef up your email lists so your next campaign will have even greater success.

By doing this, people won't be able to help themselves; they'll want to open your emails and act on them (translation - they'll read then buy).
