Get Hold of Your Elf!

"Get hold of your 'elf!"

Your weekly collection of marketing tips, hints, and advice interspersed with humor, inspiration, and other goodies to spice things up a bit. Guidance, tutoring, advice, mentoring, coaching, inspiration, English lessons, editing, proofreading services for entrepreneurs and online marketers.

The publisher’s philosophy is that most learn faster by taking small bites, rather than large gulps. Small bites are chewed more thoroughly, swallowed, and digested more readily. Keeping that in mind, many features will be solo items. That way, you will not be bombarded or overwhelmed.

Hi, especially to all Yahoo and Hotmail subscribers. Until now, there had been a problem displaying this ezine on those services, and I'd like to officially thank a very kind reader, Lise Galipeau, who graciously gave of her time and talents to solve this dilemma for me.

Like everyone else online, we all encounter our share of stinkers, but, thank the Lord, they are far outnumbered by the truly magnanimous out there in cyberland.

NUTRITIONAL STRESS

As promised, I've temporarily suspended publishing personal testimonies in this slot to include a few excerpts from the amazing book that started it all, "Lessons From the Miracle Doctors," by Jon Barron.

A second factor we have to consider is nutritional stress. We're just exposed to far more environmental and pollution stresses than our bodies were ever designed to handle—more than the human body has ever before been required to handle in the history of the world. Even if you were able to consume an all organic, optimized diet, it takes far more of the protective phytochemicals that food provides than we can possibly get in our diets—even if the food we ate was of the highest quality. Our bodies were never designed to handle:
*High levels of radiation from dental x-rays and high altitude airplane flights
*Organo-phosphate nerve-gas pesticide residues
*Totally artificial fats (hydrogenated oils, trans-fatty acids, and homogenized fat)
*High levels of refined sugar (with the average American now consuming over 137 pounds a year)
*A totally fiberless white flour diet (including breads, pastas, cakes, pop tarts, pastries, tortillas, etc.)
*Constant exposure to disruptive electro-magnetic fields
*Chlorines and fluorides in our water
*Continued, unrelenting, high-stress jobs and living situations.
The bottom line is that if you live in any industrialized country in the world today, you must supplement to maintain your health—to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, degenerative diseases of all kinds, retard the aging process, and protect against toxic injury.

5 ADVANTAGES OF CREATING E-BOOKS
by Wayne Perkins

Here are 5 quick advantages of creating e-books or your information products and selling them on the Internet.
1—You Become an Instant Expert in Your Field.
Within just a few minutes of exposure online, people who have never heard of you will consider you "the expert" on a particular subject.
Since you can edit and change your information on the fly, the information you offer can be the most relevant to your industry. This will propel you ahead of your peers selling print books.
2—No Inventory Costs.
The moment you create your first e-book, you have "Billions in Print." (Hey, that may make a great title for a press release!)
3—No Competition.
Your book may be sold as a single copy, or your digital file may fit in as a premium for your largest competitor. Your competitors become your business partners, and you both benefit.
4—No Special Software is needed.
You can fill your e-books with sound, graphics, and videos, or your e- book can be a simple text file, delivered by e-mail.
My most profitable e-book is a text-based class on "Stage Hypnotist Training," which is delivered by autoresponders (email on demand).
5—Pricing Freedom
You can sell your work at any price. You may begin by pricing a short e-book at ten dollars and then offering reprint and distribution rights for a few hundred or even thousands of dollars.
You may also sell reprint and distribution rights to associations. (This is another way of offering premiums to associations with no additional cost to you.)
Summary:
If you want to become an instant expert in your field, then create your e-book.
If you want to publish your thoughts with no additional inventory concerns, then create your e-book.
If you want to sell a simple product that may have no competition, and ask any price you wish, then create your e-book.
Creating your e-book may be just what you want to begin today!

A BIBLE RIDDLE

Where did the locusts (one of the 10 plagues placed on Egypt) go after that plague was ended?
ANSWER: The Red Sea. Exodus 10:19 says: "And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt."

Good news! Researchers in Ireland, who were laboring under the idea that 30 minutes of daily exercise is sufficient, have determined that three 10-minute exercise sessions spread out over the day yields the same health and psychological benefits as doing it all at once time.

TODAY'S CHUCKLE

I'm sorry that you haven't gotten much email from me lately. It's because I'm tired. For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting, and a dozen other maladies. But now I've found the real reason. I'm tired—because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this number, 29 million are employed by the federal government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.
Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 14,800,000 people who work for state and city governments, and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.
There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.
Now there are 11,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And you're sitting there reading humor. No wonder I'm tired; I'm the doing ALL of the work myself!

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you
so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

ARE YOU MARKETING YOUR GOLDMINE?
by Livvie Matthews

Information products are my passion! For the past 10+ years I've read and studied businesses offering information products in terms of starting your own business, as well as direct marketing techniques. As you know, information is THE wave—now and in the future!
When I was "surfing" the net and saw some information for writing booklets, I liked what that offered and ordered the product. I didn't want to write a book, but yet I wanted to give information that was needed. Information booklets are an excellent way to do just that.
For me, I've had two background fields in my career span. Managing housing for elderly, handicapped and disabled and managing Dental practices. Both fields require excellent people skills. Trust me, nobody wants to go to the dentist :-) So just to get patients, (or customers) in the door (or place an order), telephone skills are an absolute must! That led to my booklet "92 Professional Telephone Skills, Tips & Techniques."
Before I sent my booklet to the printers, I started creating my first website, BizyBodies.com. At the time it was a generalized site for women basically to help them start their own business.
I decided I needed to write an article and start getting my name out. I wrote "You Could Be Sitting On A Gold Mine!" and submitted it to an article site. At the end of the article the closing line read *For more information on creating booklets, send e-mail to . . . * It was just a line I threw in to close the article. The response was unbelievable . . . I was totally unprepared, and my niche was started!
While I was searching and ordering my information, I had found only a couple of people who were actually teaching the how-to's of creating booklets. That's when I decided to write my own e-book (pdf) for creating booklets.
That's also when I re-created my first website, BizyBodies.com to become a resource website for creating booklets, with information to help market your business as well.
From that came http://www.SimpleBizPublications.com resource and information website, offering a complete line of services ranging from the do-it yourselfers, to consulting and joint venture services, to full writing and production services for home based businesses, small businesses, and large corporations worldwide.
What's so unique about information booklets? Information is the hottest product on the Internet, and once created, your information booklet becomes a simple, but effective, versatile promotional tool. It can be used again and again in many different ways, producing an additional stream of income every time! That can't be done with books.
Versatile information booklets can promote your other products or can actually be the product itself. They can be sold on and offline, generating income from both sources. Booklets can also be sold individually or in large quantity, and they can be re-created in a different language and start the whole process over again . . . another language . . . additional income!
As you can see, I really get excited when I talk about how many different ways your information booklets can be used to generate income!
They are the ideal way for stay at home moms (WAHMS), consultants, coaches, speakers, small businesses and large corporations, as well as individuals, to create and to generate more leads, more sales, and more income! It can even become a full time business, plus it's fast, easy, and very low cost!
You already have the information and skills stored in your head . . . and there ARE people all over the world, who are willing to pay to know what you know! That's why I say and mean it . . . You (really) Could Be Sitting On A Gold Mine!

INSPIRATION

The following was sent in by reader Ray Petersen—thanks for sharing, Ray!
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was leaving the room after paying a visit, and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know "You don't know?!?"
"You're a Christian man, Doc. Yet, you don't know what's on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door, on the other side of which came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing, except that his master was here, and when the door opened he sprang in without fear.
"Now, I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing. I know that my Master is there, and that is enough. And when the door opens, I shall pass through with no fear, but with exceeding gladness."
