You can have lots of fun with nicknames for people in the crowd -- as long as you absolutely know they are OK with being teased.
I was recently a guest speaker at Randy Gage's speaker's institute. Randy is well-known for being a snappy dresser and he has no trouble letting you know that his clothes are expensive and custom made in France, Italy, etc. I, on the other hand, dress plainly with nothing too fancy or overly expensive.
We ended up bantering back and forth on various points of professional level speaking and marketing and when one critical point of contention was coming to a head I said, "Now listen Armani boy." This brought down the house and became a running gag throughout the rest of the event.
At another event Lynn Rose the fabulous singer, opened up he convention right before I came on to speak. Late in my program, I played a recording of a parody song with me as the singer. Everyone loved it and I said, "Eat your heart out singer lady."
This doesn't sound very funny as you read it here, but I can assure you it was at the time. Why? Because she was obviously a top professional singer and I was a barely passable parody singer that couldn't hold a candle to her excellence, yet I was acting like I was a hot shot. Also, by using "singer lady" a nickname I gave her, instead of her name I was further portraying my false excellence and pretty much dissing her.
Note: For the above to work, I had to make it abundantly clear that I was teasing and not serious.
You can also tell about your own nicknames you had as a child or that you have now -- especially if they sound funny like "choo choo" or have a funny story about how you got the nickname.

CD Duplication
You can start out simply duplicating
your CDs one at a time on your home or office computer. You can burn the same file over and over again onto
CDs and do the labeling right there too. However, putting paper labels on CDs
won’t make you look too good.
In fact, it will make you look pretty
bad. When you get a little
volume going you might want to purchase a CD duplicating machine. These machines
are now under $200.00. These machines can stand alone so you don't have to use
up computer time to make CDs. Keep in mind that with lower priced models you'll
have to load each CD in by hand.
A more expensive model will take a
stack of blanks and
automatically feed them so you don't have to watch over it every minute. With
one of these machines you still have to put on labels so it’s not going to add
to your credibility by doing this method.
You can always find duplicating companies
(check your Internet or local yellow pages) that will do all the work for you.
They can do the artwork, labels, duplication, and packaging. Everything has a
price and going this route will send your unit price up quite a bit.
This may not be a problem if you have
a high markup on the product and
can move quite a few. One company to look in to for CD duplication is Sam
Silverstein at:
http://www.primetimeduplication.com/
Here are some sources for CD
Duplicating machines:

CD/DVD Labels and Print On Demand
After you have recorded, edited and
separated your audio recording into tracks, you are almost ready to have your CD product
duplicated or in others words, made into multiple copies. These are the copies
of your recording that you will be mailing to all of your customers.
There are many options as to where you can
get your CDs duplicated: sent away to a professional duplicator, print-on-demand
services or in-house with your own equipment. Before you decide on either of
these options, you'll have to design a CD label for your discs.
The label is where your logo, brand, title,
copyright and track listings will go. This can be designed using a CD label
template in either a sophisticated image editing program such as Adobe's
Photoshop or even a more simple image program like the one in Microsoft Office.
If you have no experience with
creating images on a program,
you may need some help with this, but as mentioned above Sure Thing CD Labeler
can really save the day. The final template label created in Photoshop will be a
.TIFF file that can be mailed to any duplication service. Then a special printer will reproduce the image
directly on the disc with various inks.
The disc itself has a special "skin"
that the machine will print on
and the music gets burned to the other side. This is a two-step process that a
duplication machine will do automatically. If you are doing a large run of
copies, you will want to use a professional duplication service. You can get CD
copies for as little as $2.00 for a run of 100 or more, to even $0.69 each for
10,000 or more copies. This
includes the label printing.

Having incoming links to your website is one of the most powerful ways to get better search engine placement. But where can you put links in yourself that really work?
Website Directories: Yahoo! Directory and Dmoz.org are the two biggies that will help your linking strategy the most.
Forums: Often, forums will let you append a 'signature' to your posts that can link back to your website. Not only does this give you extra traffic, but answering member questions can make you out to be the expert.
Testimonials: Giving a testimonial to someone usually includes a link back to your website. The larger and more popular the site your included on, the better.
Affiliate Programs: Some affiliate program software generate an affiliate link with your domain as the root of the link. Each affiliate that posts one of these links means more inbound link popularity for you.
Press Releases: Sending out a press release can be one of the quickest and most effective of all linking tips. Press releases are also search engine friendly.
This is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to high level linking strategies for small business.
Niche Social Networking
A niche social network is one that concentrates on a specific industry, topic or interest. Beyond the big social sites such as Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn there are thousands of small networks dedicated to bringing together people of like mind to share their stories and expertise.
The idea behind a niche network is that users don’t have to search far and wide to find friends to network with.
For instance, if you are an amateur photographer, joining a social network for amateur and professional photographers can give you quick and easy access to advice, resources, job placement, education materials and making friends that love the same things you do.
As far as business is concerned, this is an easy way to find targeted prospects for your products and services, people to joint venture with and even offer coaching and mentor programs.
Let’s say you sell primarily Christian products. Making friends, creating groups and advertising on a Christian social site such as http://www.Faithlight.com will refine your targeted efforts and lead to better conversions.
Facebook may be the most popular networking site in the world, but keeping your marketing efforts from being diluted or becoming lost can be a task.
Niche social networking provides a ready-made audience.
Most of these smaller sites have the sophistication of the larger ones with group creation, image sharing, video uploading and profile creation.
These smaller networks can come and go quickly, so you want to see how long they have been around before investing too much time. Important things to look for include:
• Steady membership growth
• Usability (how easy it is to work with the features)
• Length of time the site has been around
• Search engine friendly (does the site have a good presence in the search engines)
• Automation (connecting the site with your Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
There are hundreds of topics to choose from when considering joining a niche social network. Take a look at your current marketing efforts. Where are you spending your time networking?
The power of a niche social network can grow your speaking business.

http://www.greatinternetmarketingtraining.com
This video tells you how you can ethically grab free content off the Internet, put it all in one place and get high search engine rankings and great revenue. This is a great way to participate in ecommerce.
Video sales letters are a new way to sell your products that are slowly taking over the long copy sales letter. There are a number of reasons for this:
* Reducing screen eye strain
* Short attention spans
* Declining reading skills
* More dynamic (music, lighting)
* Ability to show off the product
* Ability to add product testimonials
A video sales letter can be made up from a number of components:
* A video alone on the page
* A video combined with short copy bullet points
* A video at the top of a long copy letter
Offering the choice of video and copy, you give the visitor the ability to get the information from either source. Some people would rather watch a video and others will want to read the copy. A video can re-inforce the sales copy by showing the product in action, showing testimonials from past customers or meeting the sales person face-to-face.
The video can be anywhere from one minute to five minutes in length, depending on how much content needs to be explained. The videos themselves can be uploaded to video hosting sites such as YouTube to attract search engines, then send the searcher to the sales letter itself.

Content rich articles will be found by the search engines. They can be a section of your website, distributed through article marketing directories or published on other websites with a link back to yours.
Content rich articles come up in results when people are searching for specific topics. These people are your targeted traffic and they will click on the links to get to a place where you can opt them in to your newsletter or database. You build targeted traffic through the use of keywords: keywords in your blog posts, articles and even your videos on Youtube. General traffic that may come in and out of your website, without specific niches or topics driving them there will be difficult to convert into sales.
Articles of yours that are published on someone else's website can give you a huge boost in targeted traffic. For the most part, a website that gets high search engine positioning and has been around for a while will attract visitors based on a niche. These are your potential clients as well. Exposure on these websites can bring a ton of valuable visitors that are easier to convert into customers.

We all love guarantees, right? We want to know that if we don’t like a product we can return it, right? But it is best placed in the text at the bottom of the long page so people aren’t hit in the face with it. If they see the guarantee, they know there is a product for sale when they scan. So they leave.
The web is not like a printed advertisement or brochure.
In print that guarantee is important. However, on the web, you want a certain comfort level for the user. You don’t want to scream you’re selling something. Keep it low-key until it is time to close them. This is very important.
Guarantee Terminology
You want the prospective customer to feel like there is little or no risk to order from you. You also want them to feel like they can return the product without arguing with anyone. Even though you hide the guarantee to begin with, when the prospect is finally exposed to it, the wording must instill confidence.
Use terms like:
• Satisfaction guaranteed
• Fully guaranteed
• Unconditional money-back guarantee
• Ironclad guarantee
• No risk trial
Guarantee Length
This is the topic that usually scares marketers to death. You should give a really long guarantee. This technique will help sell proportionately far more products than it will ever stimulate in returns (as long as your product isn't a piece of garbage).
Quite simply, the stronger the guarantee, the more sales you'll make. Long guarantees take the pressure off the purchaser. He/she feels like there is no hurry to evaluate the product immediately. The long guarantee gives the customer plenty of time before the return rights are lost. This reduces their risk and apprehension about making the purchase in the first place.
The secrets to better sales copy starts here...

Tom Antion explains what a wall washer light is and how it can make your presentation and event a great one.
I have a personal rule that I tell a story anywhere from 30 to 50 times before I tell it in a presentation. Really that applies to each part of my presentation
whether it is humorous or not. I do the same depth of practice for each bit I use. When you practice parts of your talk that many times, a magical thing happens. All the ums and ahs that may be scattered about seem to disappear. Your volume and confidence increase. Your talk takes on a more conversational
nature, which is exactly what you want. The more extemporaneous a talk appears to be, the better it will go over. When you practice this much, you can also get rid of most of those stifling notes that tie you to the lectern.
Another really neat thing may happen when you rehearse a whole lot. You might start to see your notes in your mind.
You must become so familiar with the material that you can present it in what appears to be a spontaneous unrehearsed fashion. The only way to get to that point is to rehearse like crazy. I recently did a customized talk for an association. I finished writing it one month in advance so the rest of that month could be spent rehearsing (this doesn't mean I didn't leave room for addition of up-to-the-minute material).

Learn how a scumbag from Denver tried to bad mouth me and put me out of business but made me millions of dollars instead.
Question-and-answer sessions are great opportunities to show off your sense of humor, get audience participation, and make two powerful closings. Did I say two closings? Yes I did say two closings.
One of the biggest mistakes I see presenters making has to do with the handling of question-and-answer sessions. The presenter does a good program, has a powerful close, opens the program up to questions, answers them well, and then fades off the stage into oblivion. The lack of a second powerful close after the question and answer period could negate much of the impact that was created throughout the program. Make sure you have two good closes whenever there is a possibility of a Q & A session.
OK. Now let's see how we can have some fun. A good way to open up a Q & A session is to say, The last time I opened up for a Q & A session, the first question I got was "What time is it?" or "Can I be excused?" or "Aren't you getting tired up there?" Say anything except the old boring Now let's open it up for questions. To be a fun presenter you must take every opportunity to do something different from the norm.

Tom Antion shows you a little problem and what you should be prepared for before you speak.
There is a news story (link below) accepting comments on the TV
Station site and I have included the responsible parties phone
and email addresses.
It has come to my attention that the state of Virginia where I
live has something else to be ashamed of when it comes to
animals.
(We've already suffered the shame of being the home of Michael
Vick the vicious, heartless fake-remorse-to-get-sympathy-and-his-
multi-million-dollar-contract-back dog
fighter, moron jock.)
Now, we have to suffer the shame of the University of Virginia
refusing to stop medical students practicing procedures on cats.
Talk about a landslide of people against them....and they still
defend their BS old school don't-tell-us-what-to-do ways.
95% of other medical schools use very advanced simulators which
are deemed by every reputable institution on earth as far better
to train on than cats which in no way resemble human babies.
Here are three people representing the University. They are all
going to here from me.
John Kattwinkel, Professor of Pediatrics....Interesting his name
starts with Katt, but anyway he looks to me like he would prefer
to be driving a model T Ford rather than taking advantage of
today's superior technology
Phone: (434) 924-5428
Fax: (434) 924-2816
Email: jk3f@virginia.edu
Sandy Feldman, Attending Veterinarian ...This guy looks sleazy to
me and like he's just trying to protect his cushy job. This guy
should be sticking up for animals, not participating in their
abuse.
Phone: (434) 924-5058
Email: shf2b@virginia.edu
Here is the University President
Teresa Sullivan who so far is condoning this antiquated and
inhumane teaching method.
Phone (434) 924 3337
Fax: (434) 924-3792
Email: LAC2A@virginia.edu
Please send the message the modern world does not approve of
unnecessary animal testing. I'm calling and emailing all these
people to give them a piece of my mind. I hope you do too.

Thanks for helping out animals.

There is still quite a bit of concern about security on the Internet. Even if there were no real threat of people having their credit cards lifted while purchasing on the net, they are still worried about it and many are reluctant to order unless they are on a “secure server.”
To add to their worry, many browsers have a security information box that pops up when someone tries to submit information to an unsecured site.
How does the customer know for sure they are on a secure server? Well if they are using Internet Explorer as their browser, they will see a yellow padlock next to the address bar of their browser.
The “s” indicates Secure Server.
Whichever browser you use will most likely show the URL in the address box near the top of the screen beginning with "https://" instead of "http://
So how do you get one of these things? A good place to start would be checking with your ISP (Internet Service Provider), you may be able to share theirs with them. Really good web hosts may even provide this service for free.
If for some reason you want your own, you can get it from http://www.verisign.com. They'll give you a logo you can display that tells your customer your site is a safe place to order from. This isn't free. . . . it might be in the $400.00 to $500.00 range. Other places will sell them to you for 50 to 100 bucks.
If you have a secure server, make sure you brag about it. Tell your customers that they can easily order at your “secure” online store. Post this at prominent areas of your shopping cart.
The http://www.KickStartCart.com system can provide all of this for you so you don’t have to worry about it.

Many people miss the boat when it comes to making money with their ebooks. You should take every opportunity to either put links in the book to your other products and services and put in links to affiliate (AKA Associate) products and services. Your total amount of income from the ebook will be the sale price of the ebook plus whatever affiliate commissions you earn from the ebook plus whatever backend sales you make from the ebook.
Finding Affiliate Programs
Go through your book and find places where you are recommending products or services. You may already have in mind the specific company or you may need to find a company that provides the product or service. If you know the company, go to their website and look for a small link for their affiliate program. This link could say, "Affiliates", "Make money with us", "Recommend us to your friends for cash" or something similar. The affiliate link is usually at the top, side, or bottom of the page. Rarely is it in the main body.
If you don't know the specific company you want to recommend, simply search for the product or service in Google and look around for a company that suits your needs. Again, you'll look for the affiliate program links.
No Link
If you can't find a link to join the affiliate program, it doesn't mean they don't have one. Some companies (I'm one of them) don't really want everyone signing up for their program. I happen to know that 98+ percent of the people that sign up never even put their links up. I just don't want to mess with these people that don't know what they are doing, so I've made my program "by request only." If you find a company you really like, email them to see if they have an affiliate program.
Signing Up
The first thing to do is to sign up for all the affiliate programs you like. Signing up for an affiliate program is usually easy. The affiliate program you sign up for will email you your user ID and Password and give you instructions on how to use their program. They will also issue you their affiliate links. Some will put in your specific ID into the link and some will show you where your ID number goes.
It is imperative that you get the link thing correct so you can get your commissions. Also, don't think you can lump tons of affiliate links all together and make lots of money. The most successful affiliates promote only one product at a time and they endorse the product too. This means they say something nice about the product and they build interest in the product by showing the potential buyer the need for having the product or service.
In your ebook, this means that your recommendations should be worked into the text of the book in a natural way. Yes, you can have lots of affiliate links in a book, but just don't make a big list of them.
Putting the Links in the Book
There are two ways to put affiliate links in your book.
1. Simply put the entire link in the Word document before you convert it to Adobe PDF or 2. Make a separate page in your website for each affiliate product like http://www.greatinternetmarketing.com/rudl.htm On this page you will say more about the affiliate product and, if you wish, you can put the long affiliate link under a "click here" for more info button that would take the visitor to the affiliate site.
Method 2 is more work, but actually better because if you find a better affiliate, you can switch the links on your site easier than redoing the links in your book.
Diligently put affiliate links in your ebooks and watch your overall profits soar.

You can get your existing subscribers to recommend your E-zine, blog or website to their friends and colleagues. Their third party endorsement is worth more than all the bragging you can do about yourself. You make it easy on people to recommend you by giving them a website form to do it.
You can try: http://www.willmaster.com
Here’s an example of an old recommend form still available at
http://www.antion.com/recommend.html
You can use a version that pops back up already filled in so that the person can easily recommend you to several different colleagues. All they have to do is fill in the name of the new person to whom they are recommending you and hit submit. You can get a lot more recommendations by making it easy for the people visiting your site.
The marketing tip here is that to get people to take their time to recommend you, you need to do two things.
1. Your material has to be good so they won't be embarrassed to recommend you and
2. Give them a reason why it will be good for them to do it.
If you want someone to help you, it is always a good idea to give them an incentive. Tell the people that you want to help “you” that you have a way to help “them” keep in touch with their clients and friends. You probably have heard of the marketing ploy of cutting out an article from a periodical and sending it to a client. The article, of course, is helpful to the client and you don't appear to be marketing at all.
It's just a nice thing to do for your client, but, of course, it is keeping your name in front of them. The article idea is a classic and certainly a very good idea, but it is quite a hassle. You have to cut the article out of the periodical, write a note, find the client's address, make a label, get postage, etc., etc., etc.
Tell them if they simply type a quick note into your recommend form and ship it off to their client via email, they have no hassle at all. One Internet marketer got about 150 new subscribers the first time they sent this idea out to their mailing list by giving them an easy way to help their client by recommending them.
