From the Desk of Perry Marshall.

   Maybe you’ve heard the story of 1000 restaurant owners who rejected Colonel Sanders’ Fried Chicken proposal, and Prospect #1001 who finally said "yes."

   BUT… did you ever hear the story behind the story?

This is a good one. An old photocopier salesman, who called on Colonel Sanders back in the 60’s, passed this along to me.

   The real story is:

The Colonel had a restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, which had been doing very well.  A new interstate highway was planned to bypass the town of Corbin.  Seeing that his business was about to dry up, the Colonel auctioned off his operations. After paying his bills, he had nothing to live on except his $105 Social Security checks.

   In 1952, confident of his chicken recipe, he began crisscrossing the country in his car, making an offer to restaurant owners: He would walk into a restaurant, announce to the owner,
"I bet my chicken recipe is better than yours" and propose a cook-off.

(The chicken provided by the restaurants he visited, using his recipe, was part of his plan for feeding himself during those lean days.)

If the owner was favorable, he would "franchise" his chicken recipe to them at 5 cents per chicken.

   In all, just over 1000 restaurants turned him down, without one successful deal.

Then one day he was having his daily cooking duel with a bar owner, who said to him, "Sir, I’m trying to sell beer, not chicken.  This stuff needs to be a whole lot saltier so customers will get thirsty and buy beer!"
So he grabbed the salt shaker, poured some salt on, and took another bite.  "Now THIS is GREAT," he said.  "If you’ll add salt to this recipe, I’m a taker!"

   The Colonel took a bite and spit it out — it was terrible!

But Colonel Sanders had been on a NO SALT DIET for 30 years, so his tastes were obviously different than everyone else’s.

   The Colonel wasn’t stupid!  He might not like the salt, but it was better than poverty.  Thus began the Colonel’s enormously successful Kentucky Fried Chicken legacy.

Here’s the kicker: At one time, if you bought a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken, here’s what it said on the side:  "When Colonel Sanders added the 11th spice, he instantly
knew it was the best chicken he’d ever had."

   Of course they didn’t tell you what spice it was.

   This is so instructive.

   First of all, Colonel Sanders could have made 1000 MORE presentations, driven his car until the transmission fell out, spent every dime of those $105 Social Security checks, prayed for success and recited positive affirmations every morning in front of the mirror.  But he still would have come
up empty handed, had he not been willing to change his recipe!

   Secondly, although the recipe he so passionately believed in was the best recipe for HIS taste buds, it was not the recipe that his customers really wanted.  Without a recipe that the customers wanted, no amount of effort or persistence would make it work. 

   With the right recipe, he was unstoppable.

Third, the recipe he had before he added salt was ALMOST right.  It was VERY, VERY CLOSE to what it needed to be.  Adding salt to a lousy recipe wouldn’t have helped much.  So all the effort he expended developing the original recipe was worthwhile.

Fourth: Persistence DID pay off, but not the way we might expect it to.  Sometimes we’re looking for the magical day when our persistence, and the sheer number of people we talk to, leads us to the RIGHT person who will say "Yes" and open wide the doors to success.

   But for Colonel Sanders, playing the "Numbers Game" was not the key.  The real key was bumping into someone with the audacity to suggest something different, and for the Colonel to be eager enough for a breakthrough to change his recipe.

   Fifth, the magical ingredient was ordinary table salt.  Salt, all by itself, is worthless as a food item.  Chicken, all by itself, is pretty bland, and may not even do the trick with 10 other perfectly good spices.  Put them together, though, and you’ve got a real winner!

Never overlook the possibility of combining very ordinary things to create something "entirely new."

   Finally, motivation and hard work alone are rarely (if ever) enough to accomplish a challenging goal.  Innovation, flexibility, careful listening, endless experimentation, and the setting aside
of egos and old paradigms are all equally important.

Great marketing almost always includes the addition of some 11th spice. An ordinary ingredient that makes everything come together.

   It’s right under your nose, waiting to be discovered and shared with the world.

I was talking to an aquaintance recently, and told him of my New Lifestyle, and how it was created. When I mentioned that I payed money, to join an exclusive Program he said …..
"Thats Bull@~#T"  
This guy is at manager level in a car-security/communications company.He spends a few hours a day on a Computer.
OK…so I asked him, from where did he hear about this conclusion, and he said….
"All internet schemes are Scams, "so-and-so" down the Pub said so."  
"He paid money for something, then was asked for more money, for something else."
 Really He knew nothing about the "something" that was being purchased.

Again I asked, when he goes on-line to buy "stuff", does he pay for it or NOT ?

He went on to criticise the links, built into a lot of Web-sites, saying that they were BUGS that robbed your computer and made you buy more "Stufff"

I asked him if he had ever heard of "Affiliate Marketing" and Residual Income ?

At no time did I try to explain more about my Business…… until he asked Me…. then I told him about  "Homejames.ie"  and said,

"Go and look…but be careful, and don’t worry about the links, they’re harmless !!! "

The above is a very narrow minded view held by people with a lack of Knowledge.People are frightened of things they don’t know about, and automatically consider NEW schemes/systems/products to be suspicious.
Imagine, what  life was like before "The Automobile"…."The Washing Machine"……"THE COMPUTER"…..

Its now our Job to spread the word and educate new internet users, and share our knowledge, which is ever-changing.
Example of how fast it’s all changing;….
In October 2007, my Mentor had to work out a schedule with Her Mentor,to start building her Business….
September 2008; Now its all laid out in "Business in a Box" and "The 30 Day Marketing Guide", with extra support and advice from The Experts.
Advertised as "Turnkey Automated System", we attract those who have already done the research, who realize the benefits of working with people in the top 3percent of Nework Marketing.
 Its all been said before, and people have written many Articles about this Subject;…… Top Tier Sales, and the difference between 95percent of Businesses and us at CarbonCopyPro.

In 1936, long before the rise of the personal computer, Hormel Foods created SPAM. In 2002, the company will produce it’s six billionth can of the processed food product. But that mark was passed long ago in the world of Internet spam.

 

Who Cooked This!? (How did it all start?)

The modern meaning of the word “spam” has nothing to do with spiced ham. In the early 1990’s, a skit by British comedy group Monty Python led to the word’s common usage. “The SPAM Skit” follows a couple struggling to order dinner from a menu consisting entirely of Hormel’s canned ham.

Repetition is key to the skit’s hilarity. The actors cram the word “SPAM” into the 2.5 minute skit more than 104 times! This flood prompted Usenet readers to call unwanted newsgroup postings “spam.” The name stuck.

Spammers soon focused on e-mail, and the terminology moved with them. Today, the word has come out of technical obscurity. Now, “spam” is the common term for “Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail”, or “UCE.”

Why Does Bad Spam Happen to Good People?

Chances are, you’ve been spammed before. Somehow, your e-mail address has found it’s way into the hands of a spammer, and your inbox is suffering the consequences. How does this happen? There are several possibilities.

Backstabbing Businesses
Businesses often keep lists of their customers’ e-mail addresses. This is a completely legitimate practice and, usually, nothing bad comes of it. Sometimes though, the temptation to make a quick buck is too great, and these lists are sold or rented to outside advertisers. The result? A lot of unsolicited e-mail, and a serious breach of trust.

Random Address Generation

Computer programs called random address generators simply “guess” e-mail addresses. Over 100 million hotmail addresses exist - howhard could it be to guess some of them? Unfortunately for many unsuspecting netizens - not too hard. Many spammers also guess at

“standard” addresses, like “support@yourdomain.com”,

“info@yourdomain.com”, and “billing@yourdomain.com.”

Web Spiders

Today’s most insidious list-gathering tools are web spiders. All of the major search engines spider the web, saving information about each page. Spammers use tools that also spider the web, but save any e-mail address they come across. Your personal web page lists your e-mail address? Prepare for an onslaught!

Chat Room Harvesting

ISP’s offer vastly popular chat rooms where users are known only by their screen names. Of course, spammers know that your screen name is the first part of your e-mail address. Why waste time guessing e-mail addresses when a few hours of lurking in a chat room can net a list of actively-used addresses?

The Poor Man’s Bad Marketing Idea

It didn’t work for the phone companies, and it won’t work for e-mail marketers. But, some spammers still keep their own friends-and-family-style e-mail lists. Compiled from the addresses of other known spammers, and people or businesses that the owner has come across in the past, these lists are still illegitimate. Why? Only you can give someone permission to send you e-mail. A friend-of-a-friend’s permission won’t cut it.

Stop The Flood to Your Inbox

Already drowning in spam? Try using your e-mail client’s filters - many provide a way to block specific e-mail addresses. Each time you’re spammed, block the sender’s address. Spammers skip from address to address, and you may be on many lists, but this method will at least slow the flow.

Also, use more than one e-mail address, and keep one “clean.” Many netizens find that this technique turns the spam flood into a trickle. Use one address for only spam-safe activities like e-mailing your friends, or signing on with trustworthy businesses. Never use your clean address on the web! Get a free address to use on the web and in chat rooms.

If nothing else helps, consider changing screen names, or opening an entirely new e-mail account. When you do, you’ll start with a clean, spam-free slate. This time, protect your e-mail address!

Stay Off Spammed Lists in the Future

Want to surf the web without getting sucked into the spam-flood? Prevention is your best policy. Don’t use an easy-to-guess e-mail address. Keep your address clean by not using it for spam-centric activities. Don’t post it on any web pages, and don’t use it in chat rooms or newsgroups.

Before giving your clean e-mail address to a business, check the company out. Are sections of its user agreement dedicated to anti-spam rules? Does a privacy policy explain exactly what will be done with your address? The most considerate companies also post an anti-spam policy written in plain English, so you can be absolutely sure of what you’re getting into.

Think You’re Not a Spammer? Be Sure.

Many a first-time marketer has inadvertently spammed his audience. The first several hundred complaints and some nasty phone messages usually stop him in his tracks. But by then, the spammer may be faced with cleanup bills from his ISP, and a bad reputation that it’s not easy to overcome.

The best way to avoid this situation is to have a clear understanding of what spam is: If anyone who receives your mass e-mails did not specifically ask to hear from you, then you are spamming them.

Stick with your gut. Don’t buy a million addresses for $10, no matter how much the seller swears by them! If something sounds fishy, just say no. You’ll save yourself a lot in the end.

The Final Blow

The online world is turning the tide on spam. In the end, people will stop sending spam because it stops working. Do your part: never buy from a spammer. When your business seeks out technology companies with which to work, only choose those with a staunch anti-spam stance.

Spam has a long history in both the food and e-mail sectors. This year, Hormel Foods opened a real-world museum dedicated to SPAM. While the museum does feature the Monty Python SPAM Skit, there’s no word yet on an unsolicited commercial e-mail exhibit. But, if all upstanding netizens work together, Hormel’s ham in a can will far outlive the Internet plague that is UCE.

Email Marketing Tips by AWeber

CarbonCopyPro "I am Reviewing, The Situation….."

Line from a famous song in the musical "Oliver". …Yes we are constantly  reviewing, sometimes without realizing.

This time last year….I was getting up at 4.30am every morning to go to Work. Rain or shine, for 6 days a week, the customer needed to be kept happy.
Some days I would get home early and find I was too tired to do anything constructive. So, I used to turn on the computer and surf…Checking out the Forums and social networks within my limited Interest.
Thaivisa…..Shamroc Cafe….MSN….Yahoo….YouTube…..Paknam Web……Facebook and more !

I decided I needed a change,

I expanded my Surfing to looking for Work From Home Opportunities. I wonder how many times a day these Keywords are used in Search Engines.?…..I was about to find out.!
There are countless opportunities, for every Mindset. From filling forms, promoting the Lottery, selling medical remedies, cash gifting, secret shopping, surveys, and many others.

If we Knew Then what We Know NOW !

The World is changing, with Global Warming, and Recession always threatening.
But we are an adaptable species, and statistics show that many will turn to working from Home as means to improve.
Already in North America, thousands of people are signing up EVERY DAY for opportunities.
What about the rest of The World? I’m sure the statistics will show a similar picture.
(my most recent applicants are from India, among others.)
The power of the Internet means that Information, is available in every corner of the Earth. Those with a hunger to succeed can choose from the many available systems that show you HOW to set up a home Business.
A line I use on my Web page is….. " Don’t be concerned about my location if we are potential business Partners……" the beauty of the Internet is you could be anywhere, and succeed with the right motivation and support.

There are businesses for 95percent of the world and businesses for the other 5 percent. I looked at the 95percent over 6 months of research; cash gifting, surveys and other MLM systems. Easy to set up, at low cost,(under £$300) but the result is that only 5percent of people who start these make 95percent of the money. The average MLM’er makes about £$10 per week.
The other 5percent of Businesses are Direct sales Businesses. they attract the more successful people who are doing OK but want to improve their lives.Smarter people realize that "You need to spend money to make money" The outlay is higher. (£$2,000 +) but the rewards/commissions are higher, and Residual incomes give guaranteed monthly income.

I’ve set up my own Home Business, and get up each day when I want to. I’m still checking out the Forums and Social Networks, as this is the Fun side of the Business. Its not a JOB, but a life style.I travel a lot more, and share my experiences with others who want to make the change.

Are you tired of working a 9-5 job? Are you tired of working for someone else and having them control your hours, income, schedule, your LIFE? How would you like to have your own business…. Not the kind that you are tied to..where you have to be there at a certain time to open the doors. Not the kind that falls apart if you’re not there to run the show. How would you like to be able to pack up your business and take it anywhere in the world you want to live… whenever you want to? Go on vacation without asking permission from your boss first, work from home, be in charge of how much money you make, be in charge of YOUR life for a change!

I made the change. If you are interested in Financial freedom, check out my website; www.homejames.ie
Enter your First Name and Primary Email address to take a sneak peak at this revolutionary system that has some folks who’ve never made a dime from home earning FULL TIME incomes and becoming FULL TIME Home Business Owners in a matter of months, not years…or decades.We respect your email privacy and don’t share them with anyone.Any email you receive comes with an ‘unsubscribe’ link.

"Home James, and don’t Spare the Horses"

There are many stories and legends about the pioneers of Automobile Transport. One Reference to "Home James" I found was from "The Phrase Finder"

: It’s a cliche from the movies — "Once around the park and home, James," said to the chauffeur. According to one reference, the original saying was: "Home, James, and don’t spare the horses!" said to the coachman. Dates from 1870 — if not earlier. There was a song by that title in 1934 that gave the phrase "a popular boost." From "Dictionary of Catch Phrases"

 

One of My favorite stories, is of a Collector of Cars from early on, Lord Montague of Beaulieu. Being the Man, and Lordship he was, he employed Horse Men and Drivers. As Horse Drawn Carriages were still in use.

One day, young James, was given the job to drive His Lordship. After being briefed and inspected, James stood by the Carriage til Lord Montague appeared.

James held the door open, and smartly closed it, after Lord Montague was settled into the Back Seat, and ran around and settled himself into the Driving seat. And off they went.

On the return journey, Lord Montague, at last, spoke to James.

"Tell me your name, young Man" said Lord Montague.

"My name is James"

"I mean your Surname," shouted Lord Montague. "We refer to you servants by your  Surname. First names are for close Family only."

"My name Sir ?….. is  Love ….. James Love."

After a short Pause, His Lordship uttered……… 

"Home James, and don’t Spare the Horses"

I used to be a Chauffeur !!!!

Spending so much time on the Computer, building my own Window to the World, Yes, my own Website.
Then writing articles blasting Classifieds and trying to think of the next best thing to attract people to my New web site.
 Another avenue is writing press releases;for example,"Free Press Release" give you incentives to write more, and by including them on your site, you get rewards.
