Hi there,
 

So, today I go into the FAQ virtual mailbag to see what new
questions my subscribers have sent me and got a little surprise.
People have started SPAMMING my article submission form.

What the heck? The only person who will see all the casino and
poker ads is me and I'm not interested! No search engine will
find the links and no other human will either.

Ah well, enough complaining. I was just surprised to discover
spammers really have no bounds.

Here's some REAL questions I've been receiving. Please note, this
is a bit of a "broken record" issue (and I say that
affectionately) because these are types of questions that have
been answered before. However, since so many people are asking,
it looks like they need be addressed again.

But before I get to it, whenever you have a question about your
online business, you can always search the FAQ at:

There are different categories and there is a search function at
the top of the page. You might find your answer instantly there.
Hope that helps.

So, let's get to the questions =>

Direct Sales Rep Needs More Leads
---------------------------------

A number of subscribers are telling me they're part of a great
direct sales company, but they need more leads to their company-
generated website. I addressed this question a few weeks ago, but
it looks like it's worth addressing again.

My answer is simple...it's a tough go to make a long-term online
business by relying on the company website. If you're in direct
sales and want more online leads, definitely sign up for the tips

The other question I receive A LOT is how to get more traffic to
your website. Funny thing is, when you sign up for this list, you

How Do I Get Started?
---------------------

There are new people coming online every day to get their
businesses started. That's awesome! It can be an exciting time
and a downright confusing and frustrating time. If you've
submitted questions to be me about getting a domain name or what
you should do online, here's a great resource for you:

I take you step-by-step in the set up of your online venture,
your different options and more.


Should I Hire Someone if I Can't Figure it Out?
-----------------------------------------------

Budding online entrepreneurs can easily hit a brick wall with
their online business and they don't know how to get out of it.
I'm no exception...it happened to me (but I soon learned a secret
to help me out of it).

They ask if it's okay to hire a web designer to set up their site
because they can't seem to figure it out.

They hate writing, so wonder if they should get help.

They tell me they hate crunching numbers and haven't a clue how
to get their bookkeeping done.

And so on and so on and so on.

Is it okay to hire someone to do something you don't need to do?
ABSOLUTELY.

When you get stuck on something in your business, it messes with
your productivity. Stick with the stuff you know and marketing
your business. The rest of the details can be taken care of by
others.

And you can get tips on getting other people to do the hard work
for you at:

All righty...that's it for me, for now.

Please know that I do read all the questions that are submitted
to me and answer as many as I can. Also note, often some
subscribers questions are very similar to other subscribers...so
even if you don't see your name or specific question in my
newsletter, that doesn't mean the answers don't apply to your
online business. Knowledge is power, in all forms...just make
sure you do something with the knowledge you gather.


Take care,
