Review: Worldprofit's home business bootcamp with George Kosch. Comprehensive practical training teaches you how to make money online, step by step.

The training program commenced with Bootcamp Instructor, George Kosch welcoming members to the LIVE interactive session.

The latest numbers are in!  George revealed a SHOCKING FACT...

98% of new members do not start the bootcamp training.

A discussion followed as to why this is, and how not doing the training sabotages your own success in this program - but also in your LIFETIME ability to earn online.

Worldprofit is primarily a training company providing online training to help people learn how to earn at home from reputable online sources using proven effective marketing strategies. Worldprofit is not a business opportunity. We teach you how to make money from multiple online sources using tested strategies that we ourselves use daily and have used for the last 20 years.

What we teach you is not theoretical, it's based on actual hands on skills and extensive experience that generates results.  
The training includes LIVE weekly training, video tuturials, online self-paced lesson plans as well as support services 365 days a year. You will not find as intensive and thorough program as that offered here at Worldprofit. Sadly some people come into the program, dabble, never really dig into the training to grasp the basic concepts that will lead to their own success.

George Kosch described the "SHINY NEW product" syndrome.  Those who do the training, and devote the consistent effort and time required will see results and will go on to build a successful online business that generates income. Those who quit to move on to the next "Shiny new product" are destined for a life of BUYING not SELLING.   A lifetime of discouragement, money out of pocket buying the latest "sure-fire money maker"  with no money coming in.  The skills we teach you can be applied to ANY online business or affiliate program. Learn the basics, and you have the foundation for a lifetime of online income.

We want YOU to be successful and get on the right track - NOW.   If you are reading this and have not yet started the bootcamp training, just login to your Worldprofit member area, on TOP MENU click on Training. There you will see the lessons, progress at your own pace. You've got over 90 lessons on a variety of topics all designed to help you get maximum benefit from the software and tools included in your Membership and to understand how to market ANY product or service online to generate consistent income.

'Let's give them something to talk about/ a little mystery to figure out.' Worldprofit's Salesperson of the year 2013. Linda Elze. More on top than ever... 'Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

 Author's program note. The lady was persistent, a total pest, never say die, always  right there wherever I was. She was. And maybe that's the real reason I'm writing  this article today; an article of congratulation, for she's a jolly good fellow, and  hip hip hurrah. You see, I've been in this exact situation before with  her... not just once or twice, either... let's just say oodles and leave it at that.

 And to think she once pulled that woman-in-tears thing on me, begging me to let  her go and forbid her from every going on the screen again... that territory she  was soon to make all her own, the envy of every man and woman whose smile  was not incandescent and who didn't know a million ways to get the prospect off  the dime, another sale, sir; another victory lap and for good measure a happy  dance or two.

 I was brutal, more James Cagney than James Dean. And those tears made me  angry, livid, Rhett Butler the night he carried Scarlett up the grand staircase to  nirvana... I mean, she wanted to work with me, she said; she wanted to touch the  lives of countless millions and improve those lives, she said. She wanted to help  little old men across the street and win Girl Scout merit badges for her skill at  summer camp leatherwork and beads.

 Thus, I let her do what she insisted she wanted... now she was sobbing telling me  she wasn't up to the job and wanted out... sheesh... what next!  The "what next?"  steps went something like this.... Get up, stop crying, get a grip, child, and for the  next 7 days be me... a super duper me composed of all your good traits and all  of mine. Fly high, don't snivel, and don't lay that "poor lil' me" routine on me.

 She hated me at that moment. Was seething inside. Make-up running down  her livid cheeks. She wanted to spit in my face; she wanted to say the things  that make sailors blush; wanted to tell me I was an effete, spoiled brat whose  future lay in the cooking pot of a discerning cannibal with a taste for preppies en  brochette. She wanted to say that... and a whole lot  more.

 And she would have, too, given world enough and time. But I didn't have the  time or inclination to stand by and listen to more of her malarkey. Curt, sharp,  abrupt, I spat out the only question that mattered at that moment of High Destiny --  for both of us.

 It was take-it-or-leave it, spit in the palm of your hand and shake, a gentlemen's  agreement between two angry people who were not at that moment gentlemen,  either of them, not even remotely close.

 And so the greatest and longest-running war on Spaceship Earth -- the war of  the sexes -- started a new chapter. She vowed she'd show me... show me she  was no quitter; show me she was good, kind, giving, the soul of charity and here's  your chicken soup, honey; it'll do you a world of good. Oh, yeah, she'd show me all  right... after all nobody, absolutely nobody needed a good taking down more than I  did, blah, blah, blah. God, I love my job and every fast-moving spat and altercation....  especially since I was in a no-lose position. If she failed, she'd disappear into the  hapless hordes of the also-rans; if she didn't.... oh, mama!

 And so the "I'll show you" game began, both battle-scarred veterans; both with a  taste for blood... for sweet victory.... and a  penchant for the coolest dance music  and gyrating limbs worth the look and prolonged, eat-your-heart-out attention.  Thus, I give you "Something To Talk  About",  Bonnie  Raitt's 1991 mega-hit.  Oh, yeah, she'd show me all right and give everyone on terra firma something  to talk about. Go now to any search engine and seize the music that seizes you  and puts energetic bounce in your step, every step.

 So armed, so ready, fueled by irritation, exasperation and an acute grudge  against the ever suave and charming CEO, me, the lady went forth to battle...  and history. She was pint-sized but her determination, honed by the challenge  I threw down, was not. She was Killer Kowalski in bunny slippers, her hair roots  perfectly matched, her vitamin of choice the very best chocolates money could buy.  And so, armed by Saint Christopher, she commenced the epic journey of her  life, a journey she knew she couldn't lose... absolutely had to win...

 The thousand mile journey begins with a single step... and she took it. This is  what she did.

 Item: She made making daily, even hourly, sales her objective. She didn't just  go forth to conquer. She went forth with a specific objective her clear and  considered goal.

 Item: She was a constant and faithful participant in Worldprofit's celebrated  bootcamp program. Invented, delivered and perfected by master technician  George Kosch, co-founder of the enterprise, she came early, listened carefully,  questioned assiduously, and advanced inexorably. She made it a point of honor  not merely to listen to George but to study him and his resourceful, timely, and  proven results.

 She wanted to be his best pupil, his most successful and profitable pupil, and in  due course she was, with the bank deposit slips to prove it. Others might claim they  did as much... but the lady acted, her mastery of the necessary steps confirmed in  cold, hard cash.

 Item: George Kosch told her the list is the business, the business is the list.  George Kosch told her the money's in the list. And so she followed his lucid,  clear, sensible, proven steps EVERY SINGLE DAY. She might have skipped  a day... or two... or whole weeks. Others did and freely justified their poor  habits by any number of glib excuses. But this lady NEVER DID. This was her  mantra:

 I promote when I feel like it. I promote when I don't.  I promote on days my beloved granddaughter visits. I promote when she doesn't.  I promote when it's sunny. I promote when it isn't.  I promote! Promote! Promote in an entirely excuse-free zone!

 It took commitment, dedication, grit and determination.

 And it took heart... and this she brought to the table in joyous excess. See for  yourself...

 Where others could not be bothered to talk to the members of their organizations,  the lady called each and every one of them. She didn't tell me this. She didn't have  to. I saw it happening and saw how she turned the nervous, the clueless, the  uncertain and feckless into real business people, people who now made money  and improved their lives because she sought them out, soothed them, and invested  herself in them with the happiest of results.

 She was patient, she was unrelenting, she was efficient, she was omnipresent  always taking them by the hand, giving even to those whose habits were appalling  and ability to follow directions non-existent. She gave. The lady gave. Then she  gave some more, never mind she was tired, fatigued and exhausted. She was the  embodiment of commitment and where she gave her word and hand she gave her  heart. And it is this that raised her from the merely accomplished, proficient and  successful to the enduring rank of champion... for in this she is without challenger,  without peer, without equal, not merely primus inter pares but primus overall, for this  is the magic of heart. It takes the merely good and accomplished, the solely  excellent and proficient and turns them into champions, the best of who we are  as humans, the best of who we can be.

 Thus today I give you Worldprofit's Salesperson of the Year for 2013....

 Linda Elze, the lady once determined to show me... the lady who long ago  showed the world not only how to win but how to ensure that everyone touched by  her magic can win, too. This is why we honor her today...  and  why she is a  model for us everyday, the lady who always gives us something to talk about,  something to emulate... something to strive for... and always with love.

Review of Worldprofit Member new services and developments for year 2013.

Review by Sandi Hunter

As 2013 winds down we thought it a good time for a review of some of the services that were developed and made available to Worldprofit Members. Most services were included as value added services at no additional cost without any membership rate increases.  We made it our ongoing goal to continue to develop services for our members that would help build traffic, generate leads, make promotion easier and more effective.  We've worked hard to integrate social media and blogs into the services provided as social media continues to  dominate and is important to online marketers.

Understanding that our members are often involved in many business opportunities and affiliate programs, we integrated more ways to build any and ALL your online businesses. Specifically, we developed the Landing Page Builder, the Offer builder, the Membership Plugin, the Traffic Multiplier, and the Lead Funnel for this purpose.

Recognizing  the need to help our members build their SEO campaigns naturally,  we introduced the SEO Optimizer Pro and also a number of SEO Tools, video training, Blog tools, and learning aids into the Member area.

We also added in more streams of income so that our Worldprofit Members had more products and services to promote from legitimate vendors with commissions payouts in range of 20 - 100%.

Finally, appreciating that product and service delivery is not enough, our members need support, training and assistance. To that end we added more training videos, updated and added to our online lesson plans, and worked hard to maintain a 24 hour window for critical customer  support responses.

You can lead a horse to water, but....

Author's program note. I am CEO of an extraordinary company called Worldprofit Inc. Since 1994 we have been in the business (and mighty successful, too, I might say)  of setting up people worldwide in their own online business. The three partners,  Sandi Hunter, president; George Kosch, resident wizard and chief technical officer,  and me, in charge of copy, content and public relations are proud of what we've  created... proud to the point of wondering why anyone wanting online success  and guaranteed profits (if you follow the simple guidelines) wouldn't want to join  us and succeed accordingly.

 When this happens, I am chagrined, irked, disappointed, wondering what I did  wrong, master marketer though I am, thus failing to engage with the customer  who was actually willing to walk away from the prevailing offer to join, an offer  always worth a king's ransom more than the prospect was asked to invest.

 Invariably while I'm ruminating on the reason for this (to me)  incomprehensible  matter, one of our ever-present, 24-hour-a-day-live monitors, pipes up to say, "Dr.  Lant, you can lead a horse to water..." And I say, as expected, "But you can't make  him drink."  There the matter ordinarily rests until the next obtuse, obstinate,  clueless, hapless customer pops up and digs in, determined to be as difficult  and uncooperative as possible. This "explanation" may have been good enough  in the past... but is "good enough" no longer, for now I intend to confront the  question of why that infernal mammal didn't drink... and what I can do about it,  to the eternal benefit of man... horse... and customer.

 "Happy Trails".

 To put you in just the right mood for this pace-setting article, the right music  is required, the kind of music homesick cowboys warble after a couple of shots  late at night, as their best and most loyal friend takes both back to the barn  and slumber amidst the hay. And so I give you one of the warmest and best  remembered of such tunes, "Happy Trails". Find it now in any search engine;  it'll bring back a torrent of happy memories when you were young and innocent,  and your biggest problem was how to explain that D minus in math so Dad  didn't give you a licking with the wide belt always hanging on the basement  wall.

 The song was written by Dale Evans Rogers and was the theme song for  the 1940s and 1950s radio program and the 1950s television show starring  Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Rogers. It was always sung over the credits of  the program. It was released in 1952 as a 78 RPM and re-issued in 1957 as a  45 RPM record on RCA Victor/Bluebird and immediately became one of the  signature songs of the Eisenhower era, when God blessed America.

 The most talented, cooperative horse ever.

 Always at the center of this special place with sunny weather and the best  people on Earth was a horse, your horse, your best, most trustworthy, always  loyal friend, who knew when to nuzzle and when to fly like the wind, always together  'til death do us part, remembered with love, remembered forever. For Roy Rogers -- and for the Great Republic -- that horse was Trigger (1932-1965), originally named  Golden Cloud, the magnificent palomino for those of us who didn't have a horse of  our own.

 Trigger, at 15.3 hands (63 inches), was by any reckoning one fine animal,  and he and Roy Rogers got on like a house afire after being acquired in 1938.  Rogers taught him 150 trick cues, including how to walk up to 50 feet on his hind  legs. In due course, with a string of movie credits, Trigger became the most  famous horse in film entertainment, even having his own Dell comic book recounting  his exploits. Rogers, for instance, made many personal appearances with Trigger  in tow. More than once according to his autobiography "Happy Trails", he escorted  Trigger up 3-4 flights of stairs to visit with sick children. If only things had finished  there...

 Butcher John L. Jones.

 When Trigger died in 1965, full of years and honors, perhaps the most famous  horse since Incitatus, made consul of Rome by the emperor Caligula, Roy Rogers  arranged for Everett Wilkensen of Bischoff's Taxidermy in Los Angeles to preserve  him for the ages, a glory to his kind. But butcher John L. Jones had other ideas.  Thus was the flesh of the best loved horse of all sold and eaten in various southwestern  restaurants against the strict provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act of 1954,  thereby earning the despicable Jones five years in the pokey and universal contempt;  frightening horses everywhere. Is it therefore any wonder that when mankind invites them  to drink, they demur, decline, distrusting us, no matter how much they need the vital  refreshment before them?

 A beginning, not an end.

 When people say "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink", they  mean this to be the last word on the subject. But it most assuredly is not. The horse  ain't drinking. We need to know why and take immediate action to solve the problem...  Here are my recommendations:

 1)  Be sure you're talking to a horse. You say, what can he mean? I know a horse  when I see one. But, dear inner-city and suburban reader, you don't. Do you know  what a mule is? It's the result of cross breeding horses and donkeys and, with all  due respect, you might easily make a mistake. Always be clear about who you're  talking to.

 2) Particularly if you sell worldwide, understand that the sales process may well  be different in one country from another. You need to be sensitive to the prospect's  situation and way of doing business. Always ask the horse for the pertinent facts.  Never assume you know them.

 3) Ask the horse if he's thirsty. If may be that the horse had only recently drunk  his fill whilst you were in the bar having one more for the road and oggling the  eye candy. Do not presume that you know everything about that horse's situation.  Always ask and be prepared to act according to what you hear. You may well be  surprised.

 4) Be sure the horse knows how hard you've worked to get him water... and the  benefits of drinking this essential elixir of life. To achieve this objective you must  be willing to take the time and communicate. Horses are remarkable animals,  quite capable of advanced communication. Take advantage of this by sitting  down, relaxing and slowly but surely advising the horse just what you've got and  why it's so valuable for the animal (or the customer).

 5) Sweeten the deal. Remember, horses are intelligent, far beyond the condition  of most creatures. Thus, if they are turning up their noses at what is before them, it  may well be because they have evaluated your offer (water) and found it distinctly  wanting. In short, it may well be necessary to increase what you offer until seeming  obstinacy becomes happy acceptance. (As a last resort, try offering a very dry martini  with two big olives de rigueur.)

 6) Give the gift that stimulates action. Have you ever eaten a carrot? No, I'm not  kidding you. Do you like salt on them, like I do? Then you know salting carrots leads  to needing a good drink. Horses love carrots; you add the salt. Thus by stimulating  the need to drink... you will have a horse asking you not for just one drink.... but several  more. I guarantee it.

 7) Use a special treat to motivate. The biggest mistake is to assume that horse  (and customers, too, for that matter) will be happy to take a measly offer far below  what you're capable of giving. Whinny frequently; up the ante. You can start with such  an offer, if you like, on the principle that you can upgrade it as necessary... or you can  study the horse and all his wants and initiate the enhanced offer yourself. Either way,  you must be prepared. Always have better offers available so that you're not surprised  when you perceive the need for them.

 8) Expatiate on all the benefits the horse gets for getting the necessary task out of  the way. Paint the most alluring picture possible. Put helium in your voice and bounce  in your words. Do not only state but enlarge upon the benefits. As part of your uplifting  and motivational presentation make it clear how many other horses are getting ahead  of this particular horse for failure to act and act promptly.

 9)  Call in the experts. If that ol' horse STILL won't drink, call in the professionals,  namely a wizard called a horse whisperer. They are truly awesome, as proven by  the fact that they get to be the subject of school documentaries and speeches at  Toastmasters. As such I imagine they command quite substantial fees... but, depending  on how much you are counting on the horse and his tasks, they are worth it. Just  make sure they wear that cute cowboy hat and skin tight jeans favored by Kenny  Chesney and other Country and Western stars. It makes the horses laugh  and that  is always a good thing.

 10) "Getta horse". If even Step 9 doesn't produce an accommodating beast, you're  well and truly up against it. In this case, call the knackers and trade in that tiresome  horse for a more dependable jalopy. And in case that breaks down (it happens in even  the best families) and some wise acre screams "Getta horse", you can scream back,  "I had a horse. And I ate him for lunch today."  Mmm Mmm good!

Review: Home Business Bootcamp Training with George Kosch, Friday Oct 18th, 2013.

George Kosch, bootcamp instructor, welcomed participants to Worldprofit's Home Business Bootcamp.

Theme of today's training: PROMOTION.

Many people new to online marketing, don't understand how much promotion is required to make sales.

George Kosch covered these topics directing  Members to the resources and sections of the Member area that will help you understand online marketing as well as the tools to actually DO the promotion. George demonstrated how to see ALL the bootcamp lessons, to zero in on specific marketing and learning topics.

Interview with George Kosch: How does Worldprofit help people in OTHER opportunities and affiliate programs build their online business?

I sat down today for an interview with George Kosch, co-founder and Technical Director at Worldprofit Inc. 

George Kosch is one of those refreshingly down-to-earth techies that doesn't speak above your head. He's a gifted programmer and for the last twenty years has been the technical visionary that has created the platform for all Worldprofit products and services.  Worldprofit provides training, support and unique proprietary software to help people work and profit from home using the power of the internet.

Question: George, Worldprofit offers a Reseller program called a Dealership, that allows people to earn income by promoting your company's services but how can Worldprofit help those who have their own programs, affiliates and business opportunities already?

Says George:  'Some people come to Worldprofit looking to make money online and have nothing to sell, so we provide hundreds of recommended trusted products and services that can be sold and delivered online. Others come to Worldprofit and they're already involved in any number of online affiliate programs. They have something to sell, they just don't  have any idea how to do that. Or they have tried and not had any success or earnings to show for it.

So first we teach people how to promote.  Online marketing is new to most people. Most have no idea where to start, what to promote, where to promote and what you have to do to get results.

We offer an online training program, called our Home Business Bootcamp.  We have something for newbies and for advanced marketers in our 75 lesson plan that allows Members to progress at their own pace and learn as they earn.

In our online training, we teach marketing fundamentals including:  

landing pages
lead capture
list building strategies
SEO techniques
Blogging
Article Marketing
E-book creation
Promotion and Advertising
Prospect management
Newsletters
Ad Tracking
Web Stats
Offer Building
Free versus paid advertising
how to recognize bogus advertising sources
how to recognize legitimate advertising sources
Social Networking

George went on to say.

"We also teach our Members how to use the tools and resources  included in our membership along with our self-developed strategies to promote any and all their online businesses.

The model for promoting online is the same no matter what you are promoting. We like to say we teach our Members how to ride a bike by teaching them the Worldprofit system, once learned they can then ride any bike, and apply the marketing principles to build any online business.  

One of the advantages we have at Worldprofit is that after being around for twenty years, we have formed many partnerships and also developed complimentary sites and services that benefit our Members. This permits us enormous leverage for making offers, buying advertising, traffic and doing exchanges which our Members can tap into exclusively and use for promoting ANY online business, product or service."

Question: George, what makes Worldprofit different?

"We are a 100% hands-on company. We teach people how to market using tools, and strategies that we ourselves use consistently, or have developed and tested ourselves.    As a programmer and as a marketer myself, I have my finger on the pulse of the industry. I  can spot trends, identify needs, and build exactly what our members need.  We recognize that there are lots of peddlers out there making promises who don't stand behind what they sell. At Worldprofit we support the products and services we offer with our stand-out support team, 365 days of the year. This is unheard of in our industry and is what makes Worldprofit an industry leader.  We continually update our Home Business Bootcamp training lessons, we include video training tutorials, and we have LIVE weekly interactive training so our Members are never left without support or help as required.   Our Worldprofit Live Business Center holds the record for longest continual webcast, operating 24 hours a day. There are tons of software products out there, the difference we offer is that we are here to help people when they need it. It's not the software or latest gadget that is going to help you build your successful online business, it's training, and support offered by real people in the industry working along side of you. That's what we do at Worldprofit, we work daily with our Members. We are connected and reliant on our Members just as much as they are to us.

Question: George, I understand the company just celebrated it's 19th birthday, what to you see is the future for Worldprofit for the next 20 years?

"Online business opportunities have exploded in recent years, and that has meant our sales at Worldprofit have grown 10 fold.  We have now surpassed 1.5 million free members and are on our way shortly to 2 million members.  People like the idea of working from home, and the web has introduced unlimited earning opportunities, something for everyone. At Worldprofit we offer our own Reseller program but we have very much evolved into a training company in the last ten years especially, as people appreciate that affiliate marketing as a legitimate way to make extra money.   As more people participate in online earning programs they all need one thing - help in promoting whatever business they choose.   That's where we pride ourselves,  in doing the research and development to put into the hands of our Members, exactly what they need to build a successful online business - no matter what that business or affiliate program.  Technology is always changing, there is no standing still in this industry. We must always be working hard to keep our members happy and appreciative of the value we offer at Worldprofit and we plan to keep doing just that."  

Thank you George  for your time today.

Hey, Internet marketing chump. Looks like you've been fooled again. You must like it!

  by Dr. Jeffrey Lant.

 Author's program note. I can't stand it another minute, Poopsie. I just cannot  stand by and let you fail for even one more minute. Because today, like yesterday,  and all the days before, you are going to fail; you are not going to make a single  penny from that joke you call your online "business".

 Instead by day's end when you've racked up another day of chump change, you'll  be worse off... a day wasted, a precious day you could have used to get ahead,  now in the cosmic trash can... clueless on how to get out and make the money you  say you want. Look at  yourself closely in the mirror right now... that's one poor puppy  staring back at you.... pale, wan, hapless, helpless, pathetic, disgusting. And this is  the guy you expect to lead the victory parade? LOL! LOL! LOL!

 It's time for your Internet marketing make-over... It's time to own up to and  grasp what you are doing (the stuff that doesn't work) and what you must do (if you  expect to have any chance of online success at all).

 Let's get started with a cool tune that pretty well summarizes the mess you're  in, the mess you'll stay in if you don't follow sensible advice and make a radical  change.

 ""Fooled Again (I Don't Like It") 

 Go to any search engine now.  Find the tune and set it on the highest decibels,  for you're about to fly. Put up your collar... find those ultra cool shades you sheepishly  wore just once... wear them like the symbol of insolence and impertinence they were  meant to be ... now move that arthritic body... for babeeeeee, you are about to astonish  the world;  Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers -- plus one extra guy looking remarkably  like... me -- are about to help you out of the sad situation you just can't seem to shake  .  The song is "Fooled Again (I Don't Like It"). Recorded in (1971, it was what rock  was all about... attitude... edge... in your face... don't tread on me, maggot...  stand back world and prepare to be astonished, I've got the ticket to ride.

 Now belt out the lyrics that pretty much summarize your entire Internet experience...

 "Looks like I've been fooled again/ Looks like I'm the fool again/ I don't like it,  I don't like it."

 Now hear this... you're not just singing a tune... you're announcing the advent of  the new regime... the regime where you're a successful online marketer, not just  some luckless schlepper, kick-me sign always on your back side, the guy it's  oh-so-easy to ridicule, disdain, and dismiss. You can always feel sorry for these  toads, but you can never, ever respect them. And that's why you don't  just need  to scream "I don't like it". You've got to do something to turn the fiasco you call  Internet marketing around... and at once!

 Try these suggestions on for size.

 1) STOP doing what you're doing. It doesn't work. Can't work. And the silliest  thing is that you ever thought it would work. The great thing about the 'net is how  easily you can test your ideas, thoughts and suppositions to see how well they  work, indeed to see whether they work at all.  For you see, something that doesn't  work today is not going to work tomorrow. Thus, experimentation is and must  always be the order of the day, every day. If you won't test, you won't succeed.
 2) Get trained. In my role as an Internet success counselor at Worldprofit Inc,  have had occasion to train, work with, and nudge thousands of people worldwide  over the last 20 years.

 Nudge? What that means is not just setting the objective and teaching folks how  to achieve it... but to keep each student's nose to the grindstone, keeping them  focused, accepting absolutely no excuses, including absolutely no "special pleading"  where the candidate offers "reasons" why she didn't do what she was pledged to do:  following each and every step, no ifs, ands, or buts.

 Your nudge is an essential part of your success team, and though I say it myself, I  am the best nudge on Earth, the least easy to deceive and hide from, unrelenting,  never losing sight of the goal, more determined to see you successful than absolutely  anyone except  your mother. You'd be exceptionally lucky to work with me, and that's  a fact.

 So, I ask you. Who's helping you set goals, brainstorm means of reaching them,  reviewing results to see what worked and what didn't, and always ensuring you  stay on track? Yeah, I thought so. You're not doing it, no one is helping you do it.  You're not focused on results, no one is helping you get focused. Thus your results  are non existent, just the way they have always been. What an embarrassment!  Have you got any self-respect?

 3) You have no list and are not doing the consistent, strenuous work it takes to grow  one. This one's a real killer.

 For the last over 40 years now I've been telling my students, beating it into their  often amazingly resistant brains that "the list is the business, the business is the  list."

 How important is your list? Say there's a fire in your office. What would you  grab first to save? Inventory? No, inventory is easily replaceable. Your computer?  No worry here. Easily replaceable again.  (You do back up, don't you?) That picture  of your mother-in-law; you know the one that confirms her near perfect resemblance  to a rare genus of ancient lizard? (Please try to be serious.)

 The correct answer, of course, is your list. It is essential, irreplaceable, unique.  It's loss would be catastrophic, a body blow from which you might never recover.  And that is why "the list is the business, the business is the list." The $64,000  question just this: What did you do today to build your list and turn it into the huge  money-making tool you require to make the big bucks you say you want and haven't  got a clue how to get. Self-deception, self-deceit, self-delusion. This is what you're  specializing in and your thread-bare results give ample testament about just how  successful you've been... and will always be. That better make you happy, because  that, lamb chop, is what you're going  to get.
 4) How are your copywriting skills? Can you write the words that dance and  thrill, the words that make people from Alabama to Beijing jump up and shout,  causing even the deadest heart to beat faster, faster, faster still? You'd better  be, because otherwise you're in for a lifetime of significance expense, since  top copywriters command top dollars... the dollars that come straight out of your  pocket; so sad for you but absolutely necessary if you expect to have ad copy  that pulls the more lucrative response.

 Of course knowing you, you'll try to conjure the magic words yourself; anything  to save a penny. But that, as you'll quickly learn, just won't cut it... words without  the wizard's legerdemain, without the magic, produce dismal results... and that  just won't do unless you like endless outflow and driblets of income, few and  far between. This is your certain fate when you turn down demonstrated experts  and attempt to do their crucial job yourself. Sucker.
 5)  Trying to build a money-making business off of "free"? Are you one of the  hundreds of millions of would-be entrepreneurs online this very moment who is  making -- and every single day, too -- the critical, fatal error of trying to make  money off "free stuff" to be found online? If so, listen up. That is IMPOSSIBLE,  can't be done, and only wastes your time and energy. Did you hear me? The  extent to which you want Internet success without reasonable investment is  the extent to which you will fail, absolutely, positively, guaranteed.
 Now for the real craziness. Day after futile day would-be entrepreneurs and  Internet marketers enter the Live Business Center at Worldprofit.com. They  are told, clearly, honestly, politely, thoroughly what they need for success...  and go right out  to do the EXACT reverse, ensuring failure, DOA. The Internet  has empowered these sad creatures, each a candidate for spam, rip-off, certain  loss and every variety of bamboozlement.

 Why does this happen to so many so often with such miserable results?  Because the typical 'net entrepreneur is the very model of sloth, laziness,  avarice. They want wealth without effort; magnificent results without knowing  how to get them; falling victim over and over again to those who find victimizing  these foolish people a piece of cake; integrity, honesty and old fashioned  business standards and acumen the first to perish in such a pernicious  environment; once gone, gone forever.

 Must it be this way? Certainly not. Failure as much as success is a choice.  Now it's time for you to make the right decision at last.

 Visit me in the Live Business Center at worldprofit.com where we work together  in a giant worldwide team so that you have expert assistance 24/7/365 advising,  counseling, guiding, reassuring, all accomplished in an environment of  professionalism and good fellowship. This is the proven way to substantial  financial wealth, a unique place online for people who have not hitherto seen  such benefits, much less so fast or certain. It's good, isn't it, to "see you think so  much of me"? What's more, unlike Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, you'll never  be fooled again, and you'll surely like that!

How To Profit From Facebook Marketing - Tips To Use Now

Corporations and chain restaurants have already taken advantage of Facebook marketing to spread the word about what they have to offer, but small business owners can use it too! Use this marketing tool to benefit instead of ignoring its power in every day life. Read this article for helpful tips!

Use tools to measure the power of your Facebook marketing. There are all sorts of tools out there these days to help give you an idea of how potent your Facebook marketing is. You could take a look at something like Sprout Social as a paid service or simply check out your Klout score to see if your efforts seem to be moving the needle.

Fill in the blank posts are a great way to get your subscribers engaged. You should use this technique to ask your subscribers about their favorite products or their location. Test this method and count how many subscribers comment on this update. This is also a good way to learn more about your audience.

Once you create a Facebook account, it is very important for you to be quite active. If you never post any content, how can you expect people to remain interested. Videos, pictures and regular postings are just a part of what you will need if you want to do well on Facebook.

Be very careful when using humor in posts on your wall that you don't offend anyone. While you may think what you're posting is cute or funny, others may take offense and your reputation could suffer. Pass any humorous posts by a few people before you post them publicly on your page.

You should choose a strong argument to convince customers to subscribe to your social media updates. People need to see a value in joining your Facebook marketing campaign. You could for instance offer a small immediate discount to the customers who subscribe to your Facebook campaign before completing an order.

When you are choosing a Facebook URL, make sure you choose one that is very similar to the name of your business and/or your website. This will help you remain consistent with your branding. If people cannot find you very easily, they may become discouraged and look for a different business to work with.

Use videos to make your Facebook page even more engaging. Facebook is a really visual social media platform. It's much more visual than Twitter. Photos are great on Facebook, and videos can really be show stoppers. If you've got great videos to share, you can see your posts get a lot more likes!

Don't waste time trying to create viral posts every time. Facebook marketing isn't just about getting a post to become viral. That's sort of like spending your entire day searching for the needle in the haystack. It's a pretty big time waster. Instead concentrate on creating quality posts that people can appreciate. Let the viral thing happen on its own.

As said in the beginning of this article, Facebook marketing can benefit your business greatly. It's not only for corporations or other well-known venues, but can be used to benefit the mom and pop shops as well. Remember the tips in this article to use Facebook marketing for your benefit.

Interview with George Kosch, co-founder of Worldprofit Inc. on the occasion of the company's 19th Birthday

George Kosch is one of the three co-founders of home business training company Worldprofit Inc., that this month marks it's 19th birthday.

The following in an except from an interview with George Kosch conducted Aug 14th, 2013.

George, I understand that you attended the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario and following that you served in the Canadian Armed Forces. Most of that time you were training to become a jet fighter pilot, and once successful, you then went on to teach others to fly jet aircraft. Can you tell us something about how your experiences in the military shaped who you are today and especially helped you build your own company, Worldprofit?

"Well, one incredibly valuable thing you learn in the military is discipline. You learn the value of not just hard work, but goal-oriented consistent hard work.  I recall during my basic training that we had to learn how to build and clean our own rifle. I can't remember how many steps were involved exactly but I'm sure it was well over 50 steps involved with this one life-saving task. Our sergeants were tough and had high expectations for all the recruits, at one point I didn't think I was ever going to be able to do this one task, yet alone graduate from basic training. In teaching us what to do they broke the overall goal down into several small but manageable tasks. We had to do each step over and over again until we mastered disassembling our rifle, cleaning it, then reassembling it. It took some of us longer that others but we all had to stick to it and learn - no excuses! Once we had mastered the skill, the final challenge was to do the entire rifle assembly and cleaning from start to finish BLIND-FOLDED within a set time on the stopwatch.  (Part of the grim reality in military training is that the enemy doesn't wait for daylight to allow you to leisurely  prepare your rifle, so survival means being able to do so quickly in pitch blackness.)  My reason for sharing this story with you is this. When we started Worldprofit back in 1994, I was fresh out of the military. The Internet was not what it is today. Much of what we did back then to build an online company meant having to be a pioneer in the industry, there was no manual of how to build an online company.    We had to learn, build and develop our own products, services and customer base.   The discipline I learned in the military gave me a "never give up" attitude about business and kept us strong and focused through good times and tough times.   You see, Worldprofit is a training company that provides website hosting, software, traffic, SEO tools, and specialized software to small and home based business owners.  Everyday was a learning experience. We had to try things, fall on our face, pick ourselves up and figure out what we needed to do to provide unique, in-demand services to our home based customer in an industry that changes daily. It was overwhelming at times.  We  lived through the dot com crashes and saw other companies going down around us. I credit my training in the military for teaching me that any problem can be solved by breaking it down into small parts, then working at it consistently to find a solution or reach a goal.  I've applied that thinking in my personal life to achieve success and also in my business life and the model we use at Worldprofit. I created Worldprofit's Bootcamp years ago for our customers (Members) to break down the tasks they need to know into small achieved tasks to help them build their own online business. I know it is overwhelming when people first decide to start an online business there is so much to learn. We've been there.  Goal setting,  focus,  practice and repetition does not come easy to some and unless their is solid training and  support many will give up before they reach their goal.    What we've done at Worldprofit is break all that learning down into self-paced lesson plans covering topics including search engine optimization, website development, lead tools, traffic strategies, online marketing, blogging, article marketing, social media and more. We teach this in an online self-paced training program, complimented with LIVE interactive training that I do personally each and every week via webcast, along with offering 7 days a week of technical and marketing support for our members."

George as you, and Worldprofit enter your 20th year in business, any thoughts you would like to share on the future for online entrepreneurs?

" I think it is just going to keep getting better and better for anyone who wants to work at home and make income from home.  When we started this company many of the resources we offer now simply weren't possible and weren't even a realistic option for non-techies.  Today our Worldprofit Members can enjoy easy-to-use and understand traffic analysis  tools,  graphic design software, lead tools, e-marketing resources, e-book creation and more.  Setting up a website even 10 years ago was tough without specific training.  Today you can have a website up and running in minutes. Blogging is both profitable and easy to do. Selling online is safe and secure for both sellers and buyers.   People used to look at you funny if you said you were making money online, now it is more common, but still not easy if you don't have access to the support, resources and reputable products and services. That's where we come in. It's our goal at Worldprofit to continue to be the #1 choice for online home business training by providing all the resources and tools in one place.  We know that it's not just about having the tools, though. People need and want help, and mentoring along the way to achieve their goals and know what to do with those tools.  Even with better, easy to use technical products people still need people. I owe my Sergeant in basic training  a big THANK YOU. He taught me a lot more than how to assemble and clean my rifle. He taught me the importance  of self discipline, practice, focus and goal setting; skills applicable to LIFE. Thanks Searg!"

So you want to be a CEO. Think again! Newly discovered manuscript by Scarlet O'Hara tells all... and you'll be shocked and aghast at what she reveals about life at the top of the business heap.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant.

 Author's program note. Is there a person alive (or at least a movie goer) who doesn't  know about Scarlet O'Hara, the spit-fire whom author Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949)  originally wanted to call "Pansy" and was only persuaded to change with the greatest  difficulty. Pansy, indeed! Why not "Shrinking Violet", or some other botanical faux-pas?

 It may be true that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet", but naming her  protagonist "Green O'Hara" (for all that "Pa" Gerald was as Irish as the day is long)  would have cost several million in profits, not to mention a few of the film's bumper crop  of 10 1940 Oscars. And so Katie Scarlet O'Hara she was christened and Katie Scarlet  O'Hara she has remained, perfectly named for the character Rhett Butler enjoyed  watching (and infuriating) so much, "What a woman!"; now in the headlines again,  improbably one might have supposed; in "Forbes", "The Wall Street Journal" and  "The Economist", to name but a few of the world's leading financial and business  publications, now tripping over themselves to see, and so report, the facts of  this intriguing matter.

 They, however, can but hint at what may be forthcoming. But you, dear readers, will  be gratified before the panjandrums of the media... all because of one indefatigable  researcher, on the case early and late, his encyclopedic knowledge of every  occurrence at 12 Oaks and Tara, even unto the contents of Miss Pittypat's sewing  box and why she just couldn't help herself when rapscallion Rhett turned up with  blockade-run presents far too useful and scarce to decline, whatever the social  consequences. How could a lady valiantly get through the long evenings without  her indispensable pins and needles? That Butler was a clever man all right.

 That researcher, Harvard-trained mind, is me... and as I find false modesty to  be in appalling bad taste, I ask you to acknowledge my achievement and  perfect your well-turned compliments which I have so well and thoroughly earned.  For this I thank you.

 The process of discovery.

 As any honest researcher will admit, and rightly so, it is painstaking work and  careful process that produces the serendipitous outcomes we call "discoveries";  these discoveries are not random, not accidental, not unexpected, but come to  be because dedicated and resourceful researchers set out and consistently  remain dedicated, resourceful... and organized to a fare-thee-well. Thus only hoi  polloi are surprised when these seminal finds occur; the researchers fully expect  them and are gratified rather than astonished when they occur. And so it was  with my own researches into this important matter.

 Rumors, conjectures, hypotheses advanced, considered, discarded, reconsidered.

 For many years rumors had been rife in Hollywood about a particular piece of  furniture found in Tara's home office, the place where, amongst so many scenes,  Miss Ellen tells her husband about the illegitimate child fathered upon white-trash  Emmy Slattery by Tara's randy, Yankee foreman, Jonas Wilkerson. The piece in  question was the desk, the desk which in one way or another was accessed and  used by Scarlet, Melanie and Ashley Wilkes, Gerald, Miss Ellen, etc. It was also  the desk from which Gerald, unhinged by his wife's death, eerily extracts a pair of  diamond ear bobs, almost his last remaining asset.

 Speculation about the desk's contents.

 Guessing just what the desk's contents may have been grew into a parlor game  at every star-studded soiree. One said it was the long and exhaustive list of  Leslie Howard's amours with complete phone numbers, addresses and the  dizzying list of their particular expertises and their ability to satisfy his exacting  requirements.

 Others suggested Clark Gable's false teeth, the contours of which helped  give him his instantly recognizable grin, so suggestive and impertinent. ( After  all, a set had been lost during the great burning of Atlanta scene.) Or the packet  of salacious photographs taken by a crew member of the complete cast. He was  fired. His photos abided.

 And, of course, the idea was mooted that the ear bobs belonged to the adamant  wife of David O. Selznick who hid them there, because he had mortgaged their  every asset, often multiple times to produce his masterpiece. But because the  desk itself had been misplaced, maybe even sold (those pesky debts again), no  one could say with authority... until now.

 Needle in the hay stack.

 Enter your worker of wonders, your prestidigitator of renown, your man of  protean energies, imaginations, inspirations and luck... and, yes, that would be  me! And I did what every good researcher must do... I went to the movies,  this time to watch, and in the middle of a beautiful afternoon at that, GWTW  ("Gone with the Wind") all over again... and all over again to be swept away by  a film that remains the chief of its ouevre, quite simply the single best film ever  made. And because I am and have been throughout my life the most loyal  and tenacious of fans, the film granted my wish. Not for the object itself... that  would be too easy; rather for the significant lead that would deliver the object  in question and burnish my already bright reputation as the discoverer of  dazzling discoveries.

 Thus after I swept away the mandatory tears that flow at  GWTW's  conclusion, the moment when Scarlet comes to know, for the first time, that  love is not about what you take... but what you give without stinting, without  thought of gain or recompense... at this poignant moment of reverie and  recognition... I took my hunch and went to the UCLA film school and, with  trepidation and fast beating heart, asked to see their extensive records on  the film, its production, script, actors, costumes, and so much more.

 There, in a file simply marked "Tara, properties therein, Gerald O'Hara desk  and contents" was the grail (if not holy, at least venerable) ...  a yellowed page  in what turned out to be Scarlet's anything but copperplate hand... to be  followed by over 200 such pages, dated and numbered, with her razor  sharp observations on the business of business, a subject she was more  than qualified to discuss... Here are just a few of her trenchant recommendations:

 1) Surround yourself with the team of people every business owner needs to  succeed... and reward them handsomely. It pains me today when I  think of how  much I relied on Mammy and how little I did for her. It was Rhett after  all who  gave her the bright red petticoats she loved.

 2) Don't fall in love with your partners or, far worse, your employees unless  you have an author of genius at hand to tell the story and reap the profits. A  love affair with Ashley Wilkes in real life would have been the very devil,  disruption to business being just the beginning of the problem.

 3) Know who your friends are and be good to them. Every business owner  needs a friend or two to let off steam with, share tragedies and triumphs. I  had the best of these in Melanie Wilkes but let my own selfishness get in  the way. I rue her passing every day and squirm when I think of how I treated  her. But she was a true lady... and never complained.

 4) Honor the employees who give their time, loyalty and heart's blood to help  you move up and up. I am proud that young as I was, I didn't have to think twice  about giving Pa's gold watch to Pork. He was the best, even to the extent that  he filched from others to help feed me and my family. No O'Hara ever forgets  that.

 5) Treat your employees with kindness and humanity. I am chagrined when I  think that I gave Johnny Gallagher, the supervisor of my lumber mill, "a free hand",  knowing what he would do with it; working the convicts I employed to their very  deaths. Ashley warned me... but I wouldn't listen.

 6) Take time for charity and good works. No person can lead a balanced, worthy  life without empathy; not just in words either. You might think that because my saintly  mother died by performing a charitable act, I'd be firmly opposed to any charitable  act. However it is because of what she did, when she did it, that made her a saint.

 7) Work your investments... first by having and keeping a good trustee. Even when  I was a young woman I was rich, though after Sherman swept through Atlanta  on his punitive, punishing march to the sea, it didn't seem so. However, my first  husband Charles Hamilton and my second, Frank Kennedy, were both wealthy,  until the war. Luckily I had the best trustee, Charlie's uncle. He moved heaven and  earth to preserve what I inherited. I hardly gave this a thought then; I'd advise you to  be more intelligent and informed.

 8) Listen to the "old goats". They're often lonely and firmly believe they are helping  when they deliver their jeremiads and admonitions. Dr. Mead, Atlanta's physician  of choice, was windy and dull but good hearted. I could have been kind. Melanie  was. But then Melanie Wilkes was.... (Editor's note. Here the manuscript seems  smudged as if a tear had fallen on it.)

 9) Don't worry about the hurtful criticisms and verbal brickbats thrown at you  by people who are so often jealous and envious of your success, whatever they  may say to the contrary. They aim to hurt, but can only hurt if you let them. Never,  ever respond in kind; as the Good Book says, gentle words turn away wrath.

 If I'd known this way back when, I would have treated India Wilkes with more  kindness. After all, she lost the love of her life in Charles Hamilton. She was  entitled to more than my irritation and impatience with her very presence.

 10)  Fight for love and loved ones. God knows, the world knows how I treated  the great love of my life, Rhett Butler; how I ignored him while pursuing the false  chimera of Ashley Wilkes. I learned the hard way that you must fight and fight  hard to keep the good people, the loving essential people in your life, for they  are the best people of all. Rhett, when you read this, come home to me. After  all tomorrow is another day and given good will and love, above all love, we  can find happiness and serenity with each other... well, at least happiness....

 A dedication

 The author dedicates this article, the first based on Scarlet O'Hara's honest,  timely and practical business management and life enhancement advice, to  three wonderful people, each of whom has contributed to the enthralling  ambiance and worldwide success of GWTW and Scarlet herself.

 These include score composer Max Steiner (1888-1971), the lyric genius  behind "Tara's Theme" and a host of Hollywood's grandest films. Ironically  this stupendous achievement failed to win him the Oscar; that went to  "The Wizard of Oz." Go now and listen again to Steiner's music, sublime,  soaring, note perfect.

 While you're at the search engine, listen to Itzhak Perlman's entrancing rendition,  pure magic. The Maestro (born 1945)  is ill now and needs our prayers. May they  be as heartfelt and beautiful as the genius he brings to music.

 As for my final dedication, it is to my beloved grammie, Victora Burgess Lauing  When I was 10 or 11 or so, she invited me, and just me, into the cool recesses  of the movie house in Downers Grove, Illinois. It was a place of dreams, excitement,  of high comedy and searing drama. During GWTW, she held my hand and  squeezed it when the drama was fiercest and most pronounced. I didn't understand  just why over 50 years ago, but I understand now.
