It can take as little as a second to figure out quite a bit about a person once I take a look at their business card.
This is not just about the information you literally put on the card. I am not talking about your name, phone number, business name, or any of those other details you are likely to put on your card, but about how you approach marketing, and even how you might approach running your business.
Unlike other forms of marketing business cards are much closer to you and therefore say more about you. When you go to print business cards what exactly are you trying to say with your card, and what are you hoping that your card is going to say about you?
When someone hands me a very plain business card with few colors and almost nothing beyond the normal details you would expect on a card, I now know that they do not care very much about what their business cards says beyond the basic information. They got their cards made so they could get their information out there and no other reason.
On the reverse side, when someone hands me a business card that is loaded with interesting visuals and has other details I have never seen before in a card I know that when those people decided to print business cards they wanted to make sure that they got a card that best reflected exactly who they are.
When I am handed a color business card with a large picture of the person handing it to me on the card, I know the card and the business are centered more around them as a person, and that this is more of a service driven type of business. When handed a card that shows the image of the company building on it, or barely mentions any specific person, now I know the company does not focus too much on any one employee, and the business itself is what I am supposed to give the most attention to.
Each of these details are going to change the way I work with them, and each of them can be important in shaping what people think of you. What if you have a business card that does not say much about you, but you are in a service industry heavily driven by perception of your skill at the job? Your business card is now doing you a disservice by failing to provide me with enough details.
You have to know what your cards are going to say about you if you want to have any kind of control over the message. If you put little thought to what goes on the card, your final card will reflect this, and people will be able to tell. Is that really the message you want to be sending to people?

Internet brings business entrepreneurship home
Internet Brings Business Entrepreneurship Home
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
There’s never been a better time to get into business for yourself.
For one thing, you now have more reason to want to own your own business. The political/economic climate in the U.S. is making it more and more difficult for businesses, large and small, to create and maintain jobs for other people. Your job may be threatened by a variety of factors that impact your employer’s ability to keep you on, and neither you nor your employer may be aware of some of the more subtle difficulties on the horizon. How will the U.S. government’s tax-and-spend agenda affect your employer’s business, and therefore your job? When will it be “safe” again to invest in plants and personnel? Will the much-heavier tax burden you will soon personally bear render your income suddenly insufficient? In order to carry the extra load of mandated health care for your colleagues, will your employer have to let you go to make room in the budget?
There’s no question it will be harder and harder to make it on what you earn at work. But before you go looking for a second job from a second employer, you’d be smart to think about making your own job, right at home.
Income from your home business can be sheltered somewhat from the tax man because you may be able to take advantage of some write-offs that were off-limits to you before you started your business. And once you’ve established an income stream, you’re in control of your effort, time, and investment of energy and talent. No one can lay you off.
Meanwhile, more good news: the internet brings a home business within the grasp of virtually anyone. Compared with starting a traditional “brick and mortar” business, your “click and order” business will require much lower investments of time, energy, focus, and capital. Ten years ago, you would not have had the entrepreneurial opportunities you have today.
Maybe you’ve been looking around at the work environment surrounding you and wondering when things would get better… when business would pick up… when people would stop snarling so much… when the general anxiety would subside and a return to optimism made possible. An unprecedented number of people are now members of what I call the “working worried.” If you’re one of them, let me suggest that action is always the prescription for worry. So stop worrying and start acting. Think about how you can create your own income at home, at least as a hedge against the worrisome world of working for a living today.

All you would need to achieve this would be a domain name with a forwarding feature. I would guess that all domain providers would offer this feature and you can use this instantly to direct traffic to your affiliate links.
The days have gone where you can just provide an affiliate link within an advertisement or an article as most services dont allow it anymore, or your visitors wont click on it as they realise its an affiliate link.
Its a very effective way of advertising your affiliate links as it is a standard domain name and users are more likely to click on the domain if the domain is relevant to the topic or service that the visitor is searching for.
Before you setup the forwarding feature make sure that your domain name is as relevant as possible to the service or product that you are promoting as an affiliate. If a users clicks on a link that says “dogtrainer.com” and a website loads that offers an Ipod Ringtone service, the visitor will be confused and leave your site straight away.
Once your domain is registered you will be able to setup forwarding within your domain control panel. If you cannot find the feature then contact your domain provider for assistance. Once you have added your affiliate link within the forwarding feature, your main domain name will direct all traffic to your domain to your affiliate link.
Write a book a month
Write a book a month? Right Sounds daunting enough to do it at all, let alone to do one every month. How is that possible?
It’s not as difficult as you might think and the benefits of using ebooks as a form of marketing, or even to sell, far outweigh the few difficulties that might exist.
The first ebook product creation secret is the recognition that ebooks aren’t that big – generally they will run between as few as 10 to as many as 100 pages for the help www.instant-cd-products.com. Somewhere in the middle of that range seems to be the typical target for a quality ebook. Ebooks are tightly targeted treatises focused on very specific problems or topics and do not have the scope of, say, a textbook.
The second ebook product creation secret is that the content of your ebook doesn’t have to be written by you. It can be, if you have the yen to write, but it can also be simply compiled and edited by you from freely available materials. Where do the materials come from? You can find loads of rights-free material from company websites (e.g. whitepapers), from universities, and often from affiliate programs you participate in. If your ebook is about information that isn’t time-dependent, e.g. ancient history, marketing basics, cookbooks, and that sort of thing it’s even easier. Make sure the information you collect and edit is not marked as copyrighted. Make sure you don’t copy HTML code but just text if you gather the material from the web (the HTML code is proprietary to the site owner) for more details go to www.profiting-info-products.com. If you copy cookbook recipes, for example, recognize that the recipe cannot be copyrighted but the format of the recipes or any illustrations can.
The last ebook product creation secret is to use a tool to help make the assembly of the book easy. The full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just the reader) is one example, but there are also numerous ebook compilers designed just for this purpose.
It’s not hard, begin collecting information right away, package and publish it in separate books and watch your web traffic or direct sales climb!
