Free Gas~ Pipe Dream or Reality Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Free Gas? If you think the possibilities of earning free gas are just a pipe dream think again. With summer here and many businesses struggling to put paying customers into their seats,hotel rooms,new cars, etc..etc..many have turned to free gas promotions to do so. Although not too much has changed at the pumps recently that is surely going to change with the catastrophic events off the Gulf of Mexico and millions of barrels of oil just flowing into the ocean. Free gas promotions have existed for a few years now as a way of luring new car buyers into showrooms, travelers to stay at specific hotels or credit card companies seeking new members. There are many free gas promotions that are purely scams, some are veiled attempts to get you to try buy or sign up for an existing offer, but all of them have the express purpose of seperating you from your money. The Free Gas Tips and Money Savings site scours the internet to bring you the very best deals available today. Providing up to the minute gas prices in your area as well as money savings tips to keep that hard earned money in your pocket. Saving money has become a #1 priority with just about everyone today and it is my sincere hope that the Free Gas Tips and Money Savings Programs site will become a valuable asset for years to come. The next time a website blares out at you "Get Rich Quick", "Be Your Own Boss" "You Too Can Be a Millionaire", remind yourself that there is no such thing as a "Free Lunch". But there is Free Gas and I know just where to get it, Just ask me How.

List Building Tools - Benefits of List Building- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you're one of those internet marketers that assume list building is only for the gurus at the top of the food chain, think again.

There are actually many benefits that internet marketers of any level can enjoy from this practice.

You've been avoiding this part of your business for far too long. Consider the advantages of list building listed below:

* You can provide periodic emails with your unbiased opinion about certain products you've used or recently discovered that might benefit them in some way. Of course, you'd have your affiliate link embedded in the offer just in case a few might want to purchase the product for themselves…. CHING!
* You can begin creating your own information products and offer them a discount for being a part of your list of loyal customers… CHING!
* You can offer your services at a discounted rate for a limited time to subscribers only… CHING!
* You can inform them about new promotional materials you have for your affiliates (who… by the way earn 50% of all sales they generate) and if anyone is interested they can sign up and start promoting some of your products and services… CHA! CHING!

Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

Jim Roche NJ | Adds | SoKule | to |12 Second Commute| Arsenal Submitted By Jim Roche NJ

Social media has exploded in the last few years if you haven't already noticed and Sokule is one heavy hitter, just like 12 Second Commute will be a household name... Jane Mark my words!

Internet Marketers and online business owners all over the globe have experienced the power of this monster market and as a result advertising has become big business for the social media sites.

Sokule and 12 Second Commute are hands down plain and simple good business decisions any way you look at it. If you've got an online business you need tools to manage it, you also need an easy, effective way to advertise through social media.

Both of these services are a marriage made in heaven and together with just these two services you will make your online presence seen, heard, felt and known.

If you are not using social media to advertise, you will be left behind my friend. Almost every wireless device on the planet now comes with some type of application for numerous social networks. including Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to name a few.

Sokule is giant step in evolution with the ability to send messages, updates and new posts to 42 social media websites and counting with one application, just like 12 Second Commute, everything all in one place.

Social networking has touched just about every aspect of our lives and is possibly the most significant recent contributions the internet has made to everyday life.

Sokule allows you send a post similar to the other networks but will also ping those greedy search engine spiders alerting them of the new content to help you reach more people and get more sales.

This isn't your grandmother's social network.

Sokule was designed for business and resembles Twitter in its ability to send short topical messages to not only other SoKule members (trackers) with the added benefit of posting on 42 other partner sites to unleash a powerful viral effect.

The competition is growing every day and it can be difficult to grab a potential customers attention with the overwhelming amount of information to weed through, Sokule can get your message directly to millions of people with the click of your mouse instead of just throwing your information out in the .com cosmos and hoping people see it.

Sokule much like 12 Second Commute is free to sign up and there are levels of membership that perform different functions, most marketers immediately upgrade after realizing the potential just as 12 Second Commute members upgrade to take advantage of the unlimited marketing tools for a mere $19/month.

12 Second Commute stresses the importance of list building and adding Sokule as part of your arsenal, there is no telling how big your business will explode!

Sokule even has a commission program for referrals and these pay a whopping up to fifty percent commission for anyone who upgrades to a paid membership, you can make a good profit on referrals alone.

If it sounds too good to be true, take a moment and visit the website for some more detailed information and discover how Sokule can help your business take it to the next level with social media.

Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

List Segmentation | Effective Email Marketing Continued Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Use Segmentation to Send ONLY Relevant Messages

List Building | Segmentation | 12 Second Commute | Contact Manager Does That

As a legitimate email marketer (as opposed to a SPAMMER), you know how important permission based marketing is. You know it's imperative to get permission before freely sending emails to your prospects and customers.

Unfortunately, without segmentation, you're still committing one of the greatest sins in email marketing…sending people emails they don't want to receive.

Imagine you wanted to send a promotional email for Product A. Without segmentation, you draft the email and send it out to everyone you have contact information for.

Stop blasting emails to your entire contact list! No single email will be relevant to EVERYONE on your list. But without segmentation, you have no idea who'll respond.

And, no matter how great your promotion is, no matter how fantastic your product or service is…you will only ever reach a handful of interested people. And you'll irritate or start to drive off the rest.

With each "blast" you'll get:
• A handful of interested people who like Product A and are glad you sent them an email
• A group of people who want nothing to do with Product A, or you, and flag your email as SPAM
• A few people who like Product A, but they want it in blue and you're promoting it in red
• A growing list of people who lost interest in you

Now, let's imagine a different scenario. You want to send a promotion for Product A. So you find all the customers and prospects who have recently shown an interest in Product A and send them an email.

We'll let you guess the results of a targeted email like that!

Effective email marketing requires you to know everything you can about your contacts. You should know their name, gender, email address, location, marital status and career, as well as:
• Their interests, particularly as they relate to your products and/or services
• When and what they last purchased
• Whether they open and click on emails
• Their behaviors (wouldn't you like to know if a prospect had been visiting your website?)

With these details, you always have the chance to send targeted, relevant messages. Messages that get results! That is what makes the difference between you and millions of other small business owners.

Before You Send Another Email,Consider This.Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

AS a small business owner, you're always looking for ways to close more sales and grow your business. And by now you've either adopted email marketing, or you will shortly. After all, email marketing is easy, fast, inexpensive, and, in most cases, yields the highest ROI. Which is great for you the small business owner.

However before you send another email, consider this: the majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively. And they're losing out on thousands, even millions of dollars because of it.

You see, the truth is most small business owners will spend their time worrying about things like:

What subject lines get the best open rates?

Are there SPAM words I should avoid?

How long should my email be?

When is the best time of day to send my email? And so on

A complete list could fill the entire page. But when it comes right down to it, there is a bigger picture here that most business owners are missing. While they're busy debating subject lines, deciding how to sign their emails, and rejoicing over 1 or 2% increased response rates, other, more important issues are neglected. And that's when having never learned effective email marketing strategies, small business owners are either oblivious to the mistakes they're making, or they fight the symptoms of the problem and not the problem itself.

They believe: if open rates drop they've got to find a more responsive list or hire a copywriter to write more compelling subject lines. If no one jumps at the promotion it's because they delivered their message on the wrong day of the week. If their email messages aren't being delivered to the inbox it's time to find a new email marketing service.

Look, successful email marketing is NOT determined solely by subject lines. It cannot be achieved by just avoiding SPAM words. A defined email length will not make or break your bottom line. And long-term success has never been determined by a certain day of the week.

The majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively.

A promotional email is sent to an existing customer-who already made the purchase at full price

A man receives an email inviting him to a Woman's Stress Management Course

A prospect signs up to be on a mailing list then doesn't hear anything from the company for 3 or 4 months

An email marketer gets more SPAM complaints than click-throughs

If you want to see real results from your email marketing efforts, then stop reading articles about the, "7 Words You Should NEVER Use in an Email." Focus on the concepts that will make a difference.

The key to creating successful, effective email marketing campaigns is tied up in 3 critical (but little known) techniques:

Tomorrow I will detail the 3 techniques you must master in order to be a successful Email marketer.
