1. Today's Motivation

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN...YOU CAN
 

Your range of available choices right now has no limits.
The only limits you have are the ones you put on yourself.

You weren't born with any limits on your ability
or any set limits to your capacity.

You have more possibilities than you can act upon.
Imagine your possibilities and your vision expands.

If you think you can, you can.

Negative beliefs limit your actions...
which limits your future.

Positive beliefs expand your actions...
which expands your future.

Action Steps:

1. The question is, do you truly believe you can
—and will—achieve your top 3 goals this year?

2. And did you believe it when you decided on this goal?

Get Tough Champ!
Cheers Shelley Taylor-Smith

Hi Friends

Welcome back to our Oz Ezine. Hope you had a great month?

What a month though! Our state elections went to the wire
and we had a hung parliament till the Nationals ( a minor
party) formed an alliance with the Liberal party to Govern
against the previous Labour Party who had been in office for
the last eight years.

Then on the world stage we had the financial meltdown
happening, and still happening as I write. The American
congress voted against trying to bail out the banks to stop
a meltdown on mortgages. Then today and last night the stock
markets went into free/ fall as you are now aware. One person
whose column I read said that the Fed should not interfere.
That we need to suffer the pain and start again. Although
he did say that one big threat coming up could be deflation.

The concept of taking the pain and starting again from nothing
reminds me of the time in 1986 when I went broke on my farm.
Borrowed too much and then had failures that left me bankrupt.
No Government came and bailed me out. My seven months pregnant
wife, myself and a eighteen month daughter walked out of the
gate in only the clothes we stood up in!

The next day was a new beginning. Start from nothing and see!

One comment from that, unless the basic underlying reason for
failure are addressed and put permantley to bed. They will
rear up again and again, destroying you and your loved ones
over and over.

In Western Australia, we had the driest August ever but rains
returned middle Sept and continued, so there will be reasonable
harvest of grains this season. That will start with barley
harvest fairly soon up this neck of the woods!

Last weekend I went down to Perth to meet my oldest daughter
as she came over for a week with her daughter from Townsville
in Queensland to be with us. That was a great family re-union
and a good time was had by all.

But sadly, it is now back to work, albeit part time :-) for
me and my able partner. We are not concerned today with
recession, depression or deflation. We have no debt and
a good place in which to live.

I feel for young people who will have to face pain in their
lives that they probably never experienced before.

But there is always hope and always tomorrow.

Of all the ways that people have invented to sell things over the
Internet, writing free articles to run in ezines is perhaps the most
effective. One great thing about this method of marketing is that
you can do it with NO money. So if you are just starting your
Internet marketing career, put away the Visa and warm up that
keyboard!

Article marketing may be the perfect way to market. It's free to do.
It educates prospects. It gets your message in front of thousands of
interested prospects you would NEVER reach otherwise. It's viral.
Best of all ... it works!

So what is "article marketing" and how can it impact your world?
Glad you asked. ;)

What we call "article marketing" is simply writing informative
articles and having those articles run in ezines. If that sounds
hard, it's not. Let's run the numbers for a moment.

There are over 300,000 ezines out there. Estimates say that over 90%
of them use free articles in their ezines. That means there is a
HUGE market for your articles, no matter what you want to write
about.

We like to say it this way. From cat food to Katmandu, there's an
ezine out there for everyone. You included.

=====> The Big Picture

The first step is to understand the goal of article marketing. The
goal is to write an informative article and have it run in as many
TARGETED ezines as possible. When people read the article they see
your resource box at the end of the article, click to your website
and buy your stuff. They learn something, you make money. Simple.

Notice the emphasis on targeted? Please, please, whatever you do,
do not waste an editors time with articles that they don't need.
One of the greatest things about the Directory of Ezines is that
you can use it to find the perfect ezines for your articles ... fast.
Use the DOE, but never spam editors with articles they can't use.

Getting off the soapbox now ;)

=====> How to Write the Article

You want to write an informative article about something you know.
Once you chose your subject, here's the magic formula for writing
the article. Five easy steps.

1. Be yourself. Don't try to write like anyone else. Let your
personality shine through.

2. Tell a story. People love to hear an interesting story.

3. Limit yourself to 600 words. This is an ideal length for most
ezines. Format your article to 65 characters per line with a hard
return at the end of each line.

4. Have a clear opening, make three or five points it the middle,
and have a brief conclusion.

5. THIS IS THE BIG ONE. Give the reader a few steps he or she can
take to make your idea work for them. Tell them what to do first,
second, third to accomplish the task you are writing about.

If the reader can take ACTION based on what you wrote (just like you
can now apply this formula to your writing) you will have delivered
valuable information to them. Do that and, hopefully, they will keep
reading your stuff! ;)

=====> How to Find the Right Ezines

The absolute, 100% effective, surefire way to do this is to use the
Directory of Ezines. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

Look for ezines that have these three things. First, the ezine
content matches your article content. Second, the ezine accepts
articles. Third, the reader is someone who would be a good customer
for you. Once you nail down those basics you have found the perfect
market for your articles.

=====> How to Approach the Editor

The BEST way to approach an editor is this.

1. Subscribe to the ezine.
2. Read a few issues.
3. Write a personal note commenting on what you enjoyed about the
issues you read.
4. Offer your article as one that might fit in.
5. Ask to be informed if your article is run.
6. Thank them for their time.
7. Be available if they have questions.

If an editor chooses your article, the odds are they will run your
articles in the future as well. Stay in touch and you can develop
close relationships with literally hundreds of editors. Remember
that each editor represents thousands of readers that you may never
reach any other way. Also remember that the editor is a busy person.
Keep your email brief.

=====> How to Maximize Your Return on Time Invested

Include a "resource box" at the end of the article. A resource box
is where you sell the reader on going to your website, subscribing
to your ezine, or taking any other action you want them to take.

Marketing with ezine articles is truly a win-win-win proposition.
The publisher wins because he or she gets great free articles. The
reader wins because your article is informative and tells them how
to accomplish an important task as easy as 1,2,3. You win because
hundreds of thousands of readers see your selling message at the end
of your article.

All of this with no out-of-pocket costs. Now THAT'S a beautiful
thing!

7. A little humour.

Did you hear about the 2 men from the monastery who opened
up a fast food seafood restaurant? One was the fish friar,
and the other was the chip monk.
