Alexandria Brown- How the Ezine Queen Turned Her Little Newsletter into a Million Dollar a Year Empire
October 19, 2007
When Alexandria Brown first started out on her quest to become a DotComPreneur, she could not afford $ 20 to go out for a drink with friends.
A lot has changed since then for the former copywriter. Because she has leveraged the power of Ezines or online newsletters, she now earns over $ 1 million dollars per year (and growing) and enjoys the ultimate lifestyle, living and working from her oceanfront home.
Ali Brown now devotes her products and efforts to teaching others how to maximize ezines by duplicating her proven strategies.
7 Ways an E-zine Will Grow Your Business — No Matter What You Sell !
Here are 7 ways that publishing a simple e-mail newsletter, or “e-zine,” as little as once a month, will help YOU increase sales — guaranteed.
1. An e-zine lets you grow a MAILING LIST to market to over and over again.
Direct marketing legend Dan Kennedy calls this “building your herd.” The value is not in gaining a customer. The value is increasing the size of your herd. Once you do this, it will change your life and dramatically increase your income potential. Another way of looking at it is getting as many people as possible into your “funnel”. Offering a free e-zine is one of the best ways to get people’s names and email addresses. This gets them in your funnel, so you can market to them over and over again.
2. An e-zine will SELL MORE services or products for you.
Instead of simply saying how great your business is, an e-zine lets you show how great you are by sharing your expertise through tips or success stories. (As my college journalism professor used to say, ‘Don’t just tell me, SHOW me!’) You’re avoiding simple bragging, and are instead offering useful information that proves you know your stuff.
3. Publishing an e-zine positions you as an EXPERT in your field.
By showcasing your knowledge and skills, you will attract more and better clients and customers. You don’t have to go say you’re an expert. Instead, your audience will assume it. If you’re still not comfortable with that term, think of yourself as a resource or a reporter. But experts can charge more and get paid more, get effortless media attention, and get speaking invitations around the world. So why not be seen as an expert?
4. An e-zine will STAY IN TOUCH with your clients and prospects for you, automatically, on a regular basis.
Unless you continually follow up with clients and prospects, they’ll soon forget about you. An e-zine keeps you on their ‘radar screens,’ in a non-obnoxious way. This constant contact makes these folks more likely to think of YOU — not someone they heard about yesterday — when they need to hire someone who provides your services or buy your products.
5. An e-zine will effortlessly SPREAD THE WORD about you and your business.
If you write a decent e-zine, your readers will be very likely to pass it on to friends and colleagues. Remember that old shampoo commercial that went, ‘And I told two friends, and she told two friends, and so on, and so on…’? That principle — clients passing on the word about your product or service — is called ‘viral marketing’ these days.
Most publishers begin with only a few dozen subscribers who are their clients and associates. But after several months, you can have thousands of readers on your list around the world — thanks to viral marketing mixed with some promotional legwork.
6. An e-zine is the ideal way to CAPTURE the e-mail addresses of your WEB VISITORS.
This one’s a biggie: If I visit your site today but aren’t ready to buy from you today (and there’s a 99% chance I’m not), you’ve likely lost me forever when I click away. BUT if you invite me to sign up for your free e-zine that features helpful information on the topic I came to learn more about anyway, I’ll be happy to sign up.
NOW you’ve got me to market to, over and over, as long as you continue to give me the practical content you promised. I get to learn all about your services and products while you gain my trust. This is especially powerful because statistics show that consumers don’t usually purchase a product or service until after they’ve seen 7 to 10 messages about it!
7. An e-zine is CHEAP and EASY to do — especially compared with offline marketing methods.
With an e-zine, there’s no design (unless you want there to be), no printing, and no postage costs. It costs you pennies to put together and send out. Plus, you can get the word out instantly compared with doing a traditional mailing. This is great if you are promoting teleseminars, webinars, or workshops and need to fill seats last minute.

Adding Teleseminars to Explode Your Business- One Multi Million Dollar Example
October 5, 2007
Today I am excited to feature Alex Mandossian and shine the spotlight on one of his major Secrets to Success.
Let me give you a little background on Alex.
In the year 2000, Alex Mandossian was working in New York and climbing the corporate ladder. He was so successful, in fact, that he was earning $ 300,000 per year. Knowing that, you would think he had the world at his fingertips and everything he could ever want, right?
That was not the case.
In fact, after September 11th, the climate of advertising and all business in New York went into a tailspin and so did Alex’s corporate salary. In fact, his work hours were increasing and his success came at a very high price.
Alex was successful at his New York job, but he wasn’t passionate about it and he certainly wasn’t passionate about the long hours.

7 Tips for Building a Powerful Online Presence
October 4, 2007
- Engage your site visitors—make your site both interactive and informative. Give people something to do when they come to your site and give them a reason to come back. Creating an internet talk radio show is a perfect example! You could also offer a free quiz or an online poll (check out our sidebar).
- Develop a social marketing plan. There are literally hundreds of social networking sites on the web, but if you spend too much time trying to actively participate in more communities than you can comfortably handle, you’ll probably end up spreading yourself too thin and wasting a lot of valuable time. Instead, set realistic goals for each community you participate in and concentrate your efforts until that goal is met before moving on to the next goal. For example, your goal could be to reach 1000 friends on MySpace in the next 30 days. To reach this goal, your plan could include spending 30 minutes per day sending out friend requests. Read more

A DotComPreneur’s Multi-Million Dollar Secret to Success
September 18, 2007
“It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.” Pablo Picasso”
There are so many examples of successful DotComPreneurs to read about and learn from.
Make a habit of spending a few minutes each day studying successful people and look for the distinctions or differences that allow one person or company to thrive in any industry, in every economy. Look for examples of the 80/20 rule. Often there are a small handful of simple nuggets that cause the top 20% of any field to outperform, outearn and outlast the other 80% combined.
The single greatest success factor I repeatedly find is PASSION.
For example, during my habitual success study today, I found a great example of a DotComPreneur’s successful journey (during the notorious dot com bomb era), a time when most other Dot Com’s were failing despite spending millions of dollars, going under, never to be heard from again.
The man behind this particular still thriving success was Psychologist, Neil Clark Warren, and one of the distinctions between his Multi Million Dollar internet business and the others that launched at the same time and failed, is that he chose something he was passionate about. That passion was in the field of relationships, more specifically, identifying the distinctions of marriages that survived long term.
The company is one that you have probably heard of and it is called http://www.eharmony.com
Here are som more specifics about how he made it and why it continues to thrive to this day. (it is an older article, however it brilliantly chronicles how Eharmony.com differentiated itself from the other “dating” sites.
http://www.brandchannel.com/careers_profile.asp?cr_id=53
Currently, eharmony.com boasts:
- 2-3 million unique visitors monthly (Comscore)
- 15 million registered users, growing 10,000 to 15,000 daily
- 200-300 million pageviews
- highest priced among the major services, 250-question profile, logged in users
So Eharmony.com is another example of success that follows when you follow your passion.
Are you pursuing yours?
