8 Power Principles Of A Prosperous Online Business
The internet is a tool, a means of connection, and that is it. The power
of the internet is that the connection can be made to information,
people, and places worldwide in a matter of moments. However, you asked
what to do to build a prosperous online business, so here it is.
In a nutshell, you will do the same thing millions have done offline to build a prosperous business. You may build faster but you have the same building blocks for business success online as well as offline.
Let me share with you the 8 Power Principles Of A Prosperous Online Business:
1. Energy-This is the building block to all achievement because it means action. You must have focused action in a disciplined manner daily that produces the results you desire. It is evidenced by promptness, vigilance, industry, and earnestness.
2. Economy-This is the middle or exchange for all things monetarily, physically, and spiritually. You must find your economy balance in each of money, food, clothing, recreation, rest, time, and energy. And, once found, focus them upon the achievement of your goal. It is evidenced by moderation, efficiency, resourcefulness, and originality.
3. Integrity-This is the equal exchange of value for prosperity. Each action in business carries a price and that price must be paid or the benefit desired will not be lasting. You must not swerve or compromise. Right-doing is the soul of integrity. It is evidenced by honesty, fearlessness, purposefulness, and invincibility.
4. System- This is a set of rigid, organized steps to a process. An organized business man or woman can achieve head and shoulders beyond a sloppy counterpart. It is not what works on a one time transaction but what works on multiple transactions with the same effort. It is evidenced by readiness, accurateness, utility, and comprehensiveness.
5. Sympathy-This being aware of others suffering or challenges and offering a helping hand. The basis for all transactions is to assist someone else achieve a want, need, or desire in their life. It is evidenced by kindness, generosity, gentleness, and insight.
6. Sincerity-This is you “ringing-true” or passing anywhere and everywhere at full value. Sincerity and morality are intertwined and you can weigh a man’s sincerity through his morality. It is evidenced by simplicity, attractiveness, transparency, and power.
7. Impartiality-This is doing away with preconceived opinions and letting the facts and evidence speak for themselves. This is thinking and placing yourself outside the box to allow for growth. It is evidenced by justice, patience, calmness, and wisdom.
8. Self-Reliance-This is standing up for what you are and not what others want you to be. There is no substitute for the hero of a man who stands firm in his action and belief. It is evidenced by decision, steadfastness, dignity, and independence.
These time honored truths propel each business man or woman to the forefront in whatever endeavor they choose.
Offline or online there is no difference. It is not the business you are in, how it is brought to market, or the method you use to connect with others.
It is only these power principles that bring forth prosperity into your business and life.
CALL TO ACTION: For the next hour focus on the principle of Energy. Make action your helper. Then, take each of the power principles and concentrate and put into massive action each one. At the end of tonight when you reflect in your journal, note the change in level of confidence you have now to move forward in your business.

Are your Legitimate Emails being Trashed?
If you are sending out a newsletter, you probably know that, even
if it is perfectly legitimate, spam filters may block it by mistake. The "false
positives" issue is a huge problem for legitimate senders: anti-spam filters
have no way of knowing whether a message is spam or not; they can only check
whether it looks like spam. They give each incoming message a "spam
score", and if the score is high enough the message is redirected to the
recipient's junk folder or even not delivered at all. Only messages with a low
spam score make it to the recipient's mailbox.
IMPORTANT TIP: Even the most well-written message will do you no good if it never arrives in your recipient's e-mail inbox. Make sure your welcome letters and other messages don't fall prey to the various spam filters used by all e-mail hosts. These filters typically identify words (especially if used repeatedly in an e-mail) they deem likely used in spam. Fortunately, there are numerous free online tools you can use to help ensure your messages don't get flagged as spam and instead reach your recipient's inbox as intended. For maximum effectiveness, I recommend you check each of your messages using two or more of these checkers:

Make sure your welcome letters and other messages don't fall prey to the various spam filters used by all e-mail hosts. These filters typically identify words (especially if used repeatedly in an e-mail) they deem likely used in spam. Fortunately, there are numerous free online tools you can use to help ensure your messages don't get flagged as spam and instead reach your recipient's inbox as intended. For maximum effectiveness, I recommend you check each of your messages using two or more of these checkers:
MailingCheck incorporates SpamAssassin engine,
which is the most popular antispam filter used by ISPs around the world, and
analyzes your e-mail message in order to calculate its "spam score" based on its
content: the higher the spam score is, the higher is the chance that, once the
mail has been sent, it will be filtered out as spam. This will allow you to
correct any major problem before you actually send out your mailing.
MailingCheck can be used by legitimate senders
only, in order to track down any problem with their legitimate (opt-in)
messages' delivery and comply with SpamAssassin guidelines for senders; any abuse - including
using the tool for any task related to sending unsolicited messages - is
prohibited.
The integrated SpamAssassin engine performs a large set of tests,
named "Rules", on the message, and after a few seconds returns a spam score,
along with a list of rules which failed, sorted by relevance (each failed rule
has its own score, so that you can easily see how much each problem is
contributing to the global score). Please note that, while hundreds of tests are
performed, only failed ones are shown (some of them may return a "0.0" score
even if they failed, according to SpamAssassin engine current settings).
How to interpret results
To put it simply: high score = bad, low score = good! The overall
score is the sum of the single tests scores. Failed rules are sorted by
relevance; you should try to correct the problems generating a higher score
first, then check the message again until you reach a good overall score (it
doesn't have to be zero: obtaining a "Good" performance is enough). As a general
rule, you should not worry about tests which are returning a low spam score (0.2
or lower).
Messages containing images receive a bad score with default
settings; on real mail servers, rules are usually set so that images do not
necessarily trigger high spam scores (see "Important notice" above).
Most of the tests are quite easy to understand even if you just
have a basic knowledge of HTML: look in the "Reason" column, the text should
describe which problem in your message lead to the failure of that particular
rule. Some tests are more complex; if you can't understand what the "reason"
means please refer to SpamAssassin official documentation: http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html. The column named
"Rule" tells you the "official" name of the rule, so that you can precisely
investigate SpamAssassin documentation (we suggest that you search for the
rule's name).
Important notice
When you send out your mailing, the spam score calculated by the
recipient's mailserver will be different than the one you calculated with
MailingCheck: that's because each ISP has its own way of configuring antispam
filters - and SpamAssassin is not the only antispam filter around. Furthermore,
the quality of your SMTP service will be relevant for your message's spam score
(sending from your local Windows SMTP service or through open relays - or
through server known for being used by spammers - may increases the chance that
it is flagged as spam).
Consider MailCheck as "the average filter", with very conservative
default settings - if something is trapped by MailCheck, it is very likely to be
trapped by "real world" servers too; if you get a good score with MailingCheck,
and you send through a good SMTP service, you are likely to have no problems
with your message delivery.

5 Strategies to get Maximum Benefit out of Linked In
Being in the Internet Marketing business for a relatively short period of just over 3 months, I have learned some valuable tips on how to get maximum benefit out of using LinkedIn as an effective marketing platform. Over 135 Million users including
Professionals/ Small businesses/ Corporations are using LinkedIn. However, few
of them get maximum benefit from LinkedIn.
I would like to share with you some basic strategies to generate business on LinkedIn.
1. Get Ranked No 1 in Search Results for your respective field. How? Through your LinkedIn Profile Management by redoing your Profile with keywords, rewriting sections of your profile i.e. Headline, Summary, Experience, Education, Contact Info. In my personal capacity, if you do a "People Search" with the keyword "Opportunities" and click the magnifying glass button, you will see that out of 2,044,751 results, I am ranked No 1. Also, if you do the same search with "Sharing" as the keyword, you will see that out of 343,228 results, I am ranked No 1.
2. For more advanced users you can also create Slide-share presentations as an additional content on your
Profile for your targets. Use Applications like Creative Portfolio Display to
attract targets.
3. Joining 50 Groups is free! Avail of this opportunity fully to drive new business opportunities by actively participating in discussions, helping and sharing with others.
4. Develop / Start your own Group relevant to your business (for example "Sharing Opportunities with Others") and engage businesses/ professionals in discussions, help them, share with them. This will attract potential clients/ customers to contact you as an Expert.
5. Build your Group by promoting your Products/ Services, attracting potential talent, sharing advice and through cross marketing on other platforms, for example:
- IBO Toolbox,
- Blogger
- You Tube
- Google Plus
- Also use your own webpage if you have one TartraTech
To your Success!

How to Write Powerful Posts

dilemmas; arouse their sympathies and emotions. They put you in the
middle of the action; carry you away from the world; make you think.
They trigger change, provide blinding revelations, make people laugh and
feel good again. Powerful posts make people angry, destroy schedules
and divert people from their purpose.
In short, powerful posts engage the reader. Reading them becomes an
instant priority. They’re irresistible.
A lot of the above can be created through your writing methods. You
don’t have to be brilliant. You don’t have to have a degree in literature or
journalism. You just have to observe the rules of putting together a great
post. You need:
1. A short, punchy headline that is irresistible.
2. A first sentence that “hooks” the reader.
3. A great resource box or bio, no more than two lines, tops.
4. Professional caliber, original photos.
5. A Thumbnail photo of you, re-sized ready to fit their specs.
6. Breaks in the text. Short paragraphs, numbered lists, bullet
points and subheads all help people to read posts quickly and
easily.
Remember that online readers scan first – until they find something that “grabs” their attention.
Photos aren’t always necessary – but many blog owners love it when you provide quality photos they can use to enhance your article.
Pay attention also to posts that get the most comments. Whether they’re
positive or negative, a high degree of interaction and activity is a sign
you’re doing something right!
An example of a "curious" catchy start to a post is:
"Did you know that your Nose is always VISIBLE, but your Brain is conditioned to ignore it from your view? Well maybe the same thing is happening about that ever elusive OPPORTUNITY that you seek!"
Why You Shouldn't Ignore Guest Blogging as a Marketing Strategy

As an online entrepreneur, you’re used to thinking of as many different
strategies as possible to promote your presence on the web and increase

bringing rewards all round.
As with most strategies, there is a wrong way and a right way to do
things. Simply knowing a few key conventions and principles and
following a simple action plan, can turn modest benefits into huge ones
with speedy, far-reaching impact on your career.
If you approach guest blogging intelligently, with even the barest

It's Time to Soar with the Eagles!
It is their speed, strength, power and majesty, their boldness, courage, tenderness, pride, faithfulness, ferocity, and great daring that give them dominion of the skies. It's time to soar with the Eagles!

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a persons will,
It is all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself,
Before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger woman or man,
But sooner or later the one who wins,
Is the one who thinks "I CAN"
Life responds to our expectations.
It's time to fly. It's time to soar with the Eagles!
