1.) EDITORIAL
___________________

A "Warm" Welcome to All our New Subscribers.
 
I am going to let you in on a little secret.  When I do each edition of The OnLine Exchange, I normally write my editorial 24 hours in advance.  So, here I am, on Sunday, at my computer.  And at this point, I have NO IDEA HOW we are going to publish this ezine in the morning.  With the never ending problems of the listserver, we are at a point where we are about to go totally bonkers.  These last 2 weeks have been the most frustrating weeks since I went into business online.  Sure, there are obstacles to overcome, but 2 weeks of them!!  Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?  And WHO is suffering, YOU ARE!  Our subscribers.  I don't even know if you were able to receive the last weeks editions because I wasn't getting half of them, but some people were.  This seems like an endless nightmare. If you missed any editions, please go to our archives and catch up. http://www.online-exchange.com/archives.htm
 
Please understand that these are NOT normal practices of The OnLine Exchange. We strive on consistency, and even though the ezines and mailings were going out as scheduled, we have no way of telling if and when they reached their destinations. We are working day and night to resolve this ongoing problem.  By mid-week, we WILL have a listserver that WORKS. 
 
I do apologize for this.  If there was anyway to avoid these problems, trust me, I WOULD!  
 
We hope you are enjoying our new HTML format.  And we would love to hear
your feedback. 
Just drop me an email at:
editor@online-exchange.com
 
Don't Forget The Profit Zone;  An Exclusive Members Only Club

It's Not About You
By Dave Balch, "The Stay-at-Home CEO"(tm)

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
 
Marketing.  Yikes! ...the dreaded word has reared its ugly
head once more.  Like going to the dentist, marketing is one
of those things that everyone has to do but most people
don't want to do or even like to do.  It is arguably,
however, one of the most important parts of your business,
so you can't just ignore it and hope it goes away.
 
I take that back.  You CAN ignore it, but it won't go away.
No matter what your product or service, you simply MUST do
some sort of marketing if you want to get more business.
 
Volumes have been written about marketing and ways of
approaching it, but I recently received a letter that,
frankly, left me astonished.  I don't claim to be a
marketing expert, although I've been fairly successful at
it, but I thought it was one of the worst marketing letters
I have ever seen.  And it was from someone who claimed to be
a sales expert, which brings up the difference between the
two:  'marketing' is supposed to get someone interested in
what you offer, 'sales' is the process of converting that
interest into cash.
 
Here is the single most important thing to realize when you
create marketing materials:  it's not about you, it's about
them.  Think about that for a moment.  No matter what you
say or do, no matter how pretty the brochure or how fancy
the web site, the person you are trying to reach wants to
know just one thing:  "What's in it for me?"  Good marketing
will tell them exactly what is in it for them.
 
Tell them how they will benefit from doing business with
you; what they can expect and when to expect it.  Tell them
that they will make loads of money from your advice, not
that you need just one more customer to win a new Kia.
 
Here's a second tip to help you remember the first tip:
start a marketing letter with the word 'You".  For example,
"You will be amazed at the results when you use..." or "You
can help your customers and make a few bucks in the process!
Here's how..."
 
Back to the bad letter... the first sentence completely turned
me off.  The first sentence!  "I just wanted to give you an
update on what's going on in my life."  I don't mean to be
cold or cynical, but who cares?  Send me a marketing letter
that's about me, not about you!  Tell me that I'm going to
make money, lose weight, or be better looking... not what's
going on in your life.  (I did know this person but only
casually, as we had taken a class together two years ago.)
 
He goes on to explain what he's doing and then he says, "I
believe that you, as a friend of mine, may be in a position
to help me."  Why would I want to do that?  It shouldn't
be about him, it should be about me (the reader)!
 
To paraphrase Dennis Miller, "I didn't mean to get off on a
rant...", but you can learn plenty from a good example of a
bad letter, and then you can avoid making similar mistakes.
 
And that IS about you.

3.) BRAIN BUSTERS
_____________________

Acronyms & Shorthand
 
Known as Chat Acronyms and E-mail Shorthand, these
"abbreviations" are also used in Newsgroup Postings and IRC
 
Acronyms have always been an integral part of computer culture
and now they are popular on the Internet to represent common
phrases that people say to one another. Part of the reason they
are used so much is because it's quicker and easier to type out a
few letters, rather than typing out the full expression. They're
also fun, but some can be naughty so watch out! To find out the
meaning of a certain acronym, scroll down and look at it's
corresponding phrase below.
 
BTW: If you ever see someone TYPING AN ENTIRE SENTENCE IN ALL
CAPITAL LETTERS that means SHOUTING! It is not proper netiquette
to TYPE IN ALL CAPS (even in e-mail), in fact, it's annoying. if
you're in a hurry (or want to do what many people online already
do), then type in all lower case, unless you want to imply that
YOU ARE SHOUTING!
