This business opportunity works best if your reports are all about showing people how to make money. This is the best selling topic as there seems to be an ever increasing demand for these type of reports. Other types of reports dont sell so well so it would be best to stick to these money-making reports to ensure quicker success.

GET REPORTS TOGETHER

The first thing to do is to get reports together to form a series based on a specific topic. A series should comprise of between 10-15 reports and each report should be between 2-3 pages in length. These reports will become your products which you offer for sale per series. Remember the best reports to sell are those reports that show people how to make money. You can get reports for resale in one of two ways:

By purchasing reprint rights

Here you use other peoples reports by purchasing the rights to reproduce and sell them for yourself. There are many authors out there who will gladly supply you with a thousand reports with reprint rights for around $50.

This means that you get to keep 100% of the profits for yourself.

By writing them yourself

If you are fairly knowledgeable and experienced in specific money-making opportunities, you may wish to put these down on paper. Even if you dont know much about something, you can research on the internet and/or libraries. Another way to put together information is to speak to experts in the field. Youll be amazed that most of these experts are helpful individuals who will not hesitate to impart their knowledge and advice.

Once youve accumulated these reports and formed them into a series of 10-15 reports, you are now ready to begin marketing them. A great price to charge for these reports is $10-$15 per series.

MARKETING THESE REPORTS

There are two ways to market these reports. One is through conventional mail order and the other through the internet.

Conventional mail order

Prepare a one page sales brochure describing your reports. Make this brochure appealing to your customer, include a price and an order form. Now write out a 3-4 line classified ad and place this in relevant sections in various newspapers. You would ask respondents to write or call for further information. An example of a classified ad may look like this: Free Report! How to make big $$ in your mailbox everyday! Send SASE to

Its a good idea to ask for a SASE (self-addressed-stamped-envelope) from readers as it saves you postage. Once you receive the SASE from the reader, you place a sales brochure into it and post it. If readers like your offer, they will send you a payment through the mail by check or postal order. Alternatively, you could place a larger ad in magazines and newspapers with much more information, including an order coupon and order details. A customer will place their order directly to you upon reading your larger ad. This order will also come through the mail. Another great idea is to rent mailing lists of income opportunity seekers from a mailing list broker and mail out your sales brochures to these prospects.

Internet

The internet has made it easier and cheaper for mail order businesses to operate. Here you will do a web page detailing your offer. You will need to link up to a payment processor like Paypal to debit your customers credit cards or Paypal accounts. You advertise your offer in free classifieds, through pay-per-click advertising or through email campaigns. A visitor, interested in your offer, will read through your web page and place their order with their credit card or Paypal account. The credit card processor will collect the monies on your behalf and remit it to you.

ORDER FULFILLMENT

Your last step in this process is to fill the customers order a process known as order fulfillment. Obviously, the process varies depending on what sales method you have used.

Conventional mail order

Once you receive a customers order with payment, you may now post the reports to the customer. You have the reports photocopied, bind them neatly if necessary and insert them into a big envelope. Affix the correct postage stamps to this and post.

Internet

Prepare your reports either in pdf format or text format. You upload a copy to your server and note the location of this file. Your website then needs to be integrated with the payment processor so that as soon as there has been a successful payment, your customer is taken to a download page that shows a link to this file or you can set it so that an automatic email is sent to the customer providing the download link. Your customer may then download these reports on to their computer by right-clicking the download link and choosing Save Target As.

I was first introduced to this concept eighteen years ago and even up to this day, it is still a greatly successful and lucrative opportunity. Give it a try and youll see what I mean!

Teaching Your Puppy Bite Inhibition

Bite Inhibition is one of the most important things your puppy must learn to become a well-trained, respectable dog. Bite inhibition is a learned response in which your dog will consciously inhibit the full force of his biting ability. Without learning bite inhibition a dog can severely injure or even possibly kill another dog or even a child.

Puppies learn bite inhibition during the socialization of nursing and playing. If a puppy bites while nursing the mother dog will get up and walk away. If the puppy bites too hard while playing with his littermates, the bitten puppy will yelp and stop playing with the biting puppy. This teaches the puppy that all playing must stop if he bites too hard.

A puppy should learn bite inhibition by the time he is four and a half months of age. Since many puppies are taken from their mothers and other littermates before this time, it becomes necessary for the new owners to take over the role of teaching bite inhibition.

When you are teaching your puppy bite inhibition treat him as his mother and his littermates would. When he bites too hard, get up and walk away, make sure he knows that when he bites too hard all play must stop.

Some ideas you can use to teach bite inhibition are

Sit down and start playing with your puppy. Bring his attention to your hands. When your puppy starts to bite your hands too hard say Ow firmly and stop playing and stop all interaction. Do not look at your puppy but avert your eyes to the side away from your pup. He needs to know that you are serious about stopping the play.

Make sure that your response is short and firm. If you whine or wince your puppy may think that you are still playing and you have defeated your purpose.

After some time has passed, face your pup again and offer your hand if he tries to bite again, repeat the process.

If your puppy is just nipping at you or your clothes you can offer a toy to chew on. If he is not interested in the toy but keeps on nipping, you should withdraw all attention. You can even walk away.

As you practice this, your puppy should be using less and less pressure as he is playing with you. Your first goal should be to inhibit the force of his bite and then to reduce the frequency of his bite. If he is never allowed to use even a light bite, when faced with a situation of stress he will probably react with a overly strong bite and could hurt someone unintentionally.

Bite Inhibition is an important part of training and socializing your dog. It is easier to teach a puppy bite inhibition but even older dogs can learn with some patience and good training.

Keep the Floor Clean and Protected With Car Mats

Nobody likes dirty feet in their vehicle. Be it hunters, Soccer Moms or anyone in between, everybody wants the inside of their car to be neat and tidy. So, what they do to maintain the cleanliness of car floor! Obviously, it is the car mats they turn to. By putting some nice looking mats on the floor, they keep the floor clean and protected as well.

But mats are something that a car owner probably does not think about very often. It is when they consider the high cost of replacing the carpet for their car, floor mats suddenly become a cost-effective option. They are available not only in a variety of colours but also affordable within the budget of even the most frugal car owners.

Car mats are an essential accessory when it comes to protecting your investment, especially if you live in an area that witnesses lots of winter weather. Without this particular car accessory, slush and snow can soak into your car through the carpet padding, and cause rusting on the floor pans even before you know it. So, mats deserve equal attention as any other accessory.

Buying car mats also deserve a little extra care. It is not possible for you to make time and shop for it frequently. So, take a little time out of your busy schedule and decide what type of mats will perfectly suit your need. Mats are available in a wide variety of colours and materials to suit the demand of any and every user.

An all-vinyl floor mat or heavy-duty floor mat may be a better choice, if ice, snow, and slush are common in the part of the country where you drive your car very often. Custom-fit floor mats are available for other type of weather also. Regarding colour they offer an unlimited variety. So, there will be no problem to get one that matches with the colour and interior design of the car.

Getting Your Online Money Making Business Started

For the absolute novice the foray into creating a money making online business can be quite daunting. Most don't know where to start let alone know what to do or how to do it. The one common theme, no matter what their circumstance, is "I want to make money!"

The key to having an online money making business is a change of mindset from employee to business owner or entrepreneur.

The employee clocks in every day, does the required tasks, clocks out again and spends their pay check; sometimes years in advance if they have accumulated credit debt.

The business owner however takes a wider view. He or she has a business plan, sets goals and initiates strategies to achieve them. The business owner forecasts their income in advance.

One of the first things to do, to avoid information overload, is to sit down with pencil and paper and plan your business.

Begin by defining what sort of business you want:

1. Physical products

This could be based on something as simple as your favourite craft or hobby. My teenage daughter, for example, loves making her own jewellery; so much so that our home is literally littered with her "creations". Therefore I built a website for her to sell it.

2. Electronic Products

If "making" a physical product to sell seems like too much work, how about creating a "How To" ebook about all you know on your favourite hobby, craft or area of expertise. Electronic products are very popular with those who want information but don't have the time to do all the research. Gather all your knowledge up in one package and sell your efforts again and again and again.

3. Affiliate Program Products

If you are really stuck for an idea of a product to sell, affiliate marketing is a good place to start. Affiliate marketing is selling someone else's product for a percentage of the sale. The secret to this kind of business is find products that you really love; it will be easier to succeed if your heart and soul is in your business.

There's no reason why you can't do all three - eventually - but for a start choose just one. Once you have decided, plan out ways to implement this new business. Break the plan into smaller, easy to achieve tasks. For each stage of implementing your money making business work on bite size pieces.

For example: "I need a website" can be refined into:

- Registering a Domain Name
- Find a web host
- Find an Auto-responder service
- Find a web designer or for the do-it-your-selfer, lessons on website building
- Find a payment processor

A certain amount of single-mindedness is required as it is easy to become distracted. You might find ideas popping into your head as you are working away. Great! Write them down in your ideas vault and get back to business. They can always be developed later when you have finished the task at hand

All good business owners work within time-frames. Use this to measure your effectiveness and productivity. Schedule time for your tasks, set a completion date, review your progress, and then adapt to make improvements.

While overseeing your business as a whole and focusing on the tasks required, your online money making business will take form and you'll find you will make money.
