</p><p>Since we are ending out yet another perfectly good year, I thought it would be a good time to talk about a few things that you can do to add a little more money to your bank account.</p>
<p>I know not everyone out there has the luxury of completely automatic sources of never-ending income. In fact, almost no one does. To get to that level requires an unholy amount of perseverance and determination, against incredible odds.</p>
<p>I also know that you have that same dream, to one day be able to live from your passive income, free from a boss and to operate solely on the money coming in from your business and your investments.</p>
<p>However, sometimes life gets in the way eh? Sometimes there can be unfortunate situations that can really throw a proverbial wrench in your money-making plans to take over the world.</p>
<p>So, I figured that I would share a list of 10 quick-cash techniques that you can use to start generating income the same week that you use them. They are not for everyone. You will have to swallow a lot of personal pride to do some of them, but they work.</p>
<p>None of these ideas will make you rich, but they will put food on the table and presents under the tree.</p>
<p>They also just might help you make that extra cash you need to bootstrap your business all the way to the finish line.</p>
<p>I am not sharing these with you as a means to an end. We still need you to build your mini empire and stick with your dream of building your business, but I also know that life has a funny way of throwing up road blocks just at the time you think you are making progress.</p>
<p>May these ideas help you break down some of those road blocks.</p>
<p>Here we go&#8230;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #993300;">10 Underdog Millionaire Quick Cash Techniques that You Can Start With Little or No Money:</span></h2>
<p>1. <strong>Write &#8220;how to&#8221; articles for pay</strong>. This is something that I have done and continue to do. They bring in a great source of extra income. Yes, they do not pay very much and you may feel as if your writing talents are being abused, but if you need cash, they pay. Just do a Google search and you will find many sites.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Paint address numbers on the curbs of people&#8217;s homes</strong>. Two days before you want to make some money in a neighborhood, canvass the area with a well written <strong><a href="http://www.sales-letter-system.com">sales letter</a></strong>. Tell the customer that you are in the neighborhood in two days and if they want you to paint their address on the curb, enclose a check to you, taped to their front door. No face to face selling required. All you have to do is walk around with your number stencils and spray paint, and look for the homes with envelopes on the door.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Sell stuff on Craigslist</strong>. I mean, sell EVERYTHING. Take a few hours one night and go through your home. Make a huge pile of stuff that you don&#8217;t use or don&#8217;t want. Take a photo of each item and list it fo free on Craigslist. You can make a few hundred bucks or MUCH MORE in a week or two if you go crazy and sell everything that isn&#8217;t moving or breathing.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Go to Fiverr</strong>. Click on <a href="http://www.fiverr.com">www.fiverr.com</a>and become a provider of services. This place basically matches people up with talented individuals willing to do just about anything for five bucks. If you can create a business card really quick, make a phone call, knit a baby booty, or sing someone a birthday song, there is a market for almost any of it. Just make sure that you find something that is worth your time for just a few dollars in return. <strong>(Side note: this is a GREAT place to outsource some of your business tasks for CHEAP!)</strong></p>
<p>5. <strong>Get customers for FREE</strong>. Sometimes you might be in a situation where you have a product to sell, but you don&#8217;t have the money to advertise and bring the customers to your door. Well, I wrote a book that covers just that. If you are looking for <strong><a href="http://www.attract-customers.com">101 different ways that you can attract customers for free</a></strong>, then click the link.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Wash windows</strong>. Commercial businesses need their windows washed on a regular basis, all year long. Just think of how much glass is out there and how people love to push their buggery faces against it. With just a few bucks in supplies, all you do is walk down &#8220;Main St.&#8221; and ask each business owner if they would like to have their windows washed. Give them a professional invoice with your contact info on it, and try to set up a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning schedule. You get cash the day you start the business.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Become a personal assistant to people that you know</strong>. If you know a bust person that has an income, ask them if you could take a few of their burdens off their shoulders. Deliver the dry cleaning. Drop off the mail. Research a project for them. Pick up their kids at day care. Create a list of things that you wouldn&#8217;t mind doing and rates for each thing. Assist multiple people and you can keep yourself quite busy by just providing a few services for each. You will eventually get more clients through <a href="http://www.how-to-business-network.com">referral</a>.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Make a product to pitch at a local flea market</strong>. If you have a business idea that you can make at home, create a bunch of them and rent a cheap table at a local flea market. Develop a <a href="http://www.ultimateUSPcreator.com">USP</a> and a quick elevator pitch. Repeat it every time someone comes to your booth and refine your technique accordingly.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Become an event planner</strong>. If you like to organize parties, weddings, and other events- then this is for you. Require a deposit up-front. Subcontract all the work and all you need is a phone, some great contacts and a really good knack for organization.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Get paid to haul trash</strong>. People need garbage removed from their homes all the time, especially landlords (believe me, I know. I once had a hoarder living in one of my rental homes and had to remove 85 garbage bags of clothes). Borrow or rent a truck. Get paid a deposit in advance. Estimate how much the job will cost and find out how much you will have to pay to take it to the local dump (if anything). It&#8217;s a dirty job, but it&#8217;s pretty recession proof. You might even find a few free treasures in the process.</p>
<p>Well, there you have it. I hope that I&#8217;ve helped a little this holiday season. I know that things with your business will be slowing down now and may not ramp up until well into the new year, so sometimes it&#8217;s nice to have a few quick cash ideas in your back pocket.</p>
<p>How about you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/the-birthday-roundup-other-blogs-i-really-like" title="Permanent link to The Birthday Roundup-Other Blogs I REALLY Like"><img class="post_image aligncenter remove_bottom_margin frame" src="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/round-up.jpg" width="400" height="319" alt="Small Business Round-Up: Blogs I Like" /></a>
</p><p>Today&#8217;s post is going to be the last of the birthday blog posts. I thought I would share a few blogs with you that I think are really going the extra mile.</p>
<p>These guys (and gals) don&#8217;t just re-hash the current flavor-of-the-month content that can be seen on many of the blogs out there. Instead, they are hard-hitting, unique business owners that have really developed a niche name for themselves.</p>
<p>Many of these blogs are geared towards small business owners, but not all. I think that if you are going to be a competitive entrepreneur, you really need to look at a variety of sources for inspiration.</p>
<p>Now, I am not going to over-load you with the over 50 different blogs that I try to follow on a regular basis, but I do have a special handful for you that really do something above and beyond.</p>
<p>So, without further adieu, here they are:</p>
<p><strong>Heavy Hitters That Blog About Blogging:</strong></p>
<p>If you have been in the blogging world for any length of time, then you already know about these guys, but if you are just getting started, this is the kind of blogging that you can aspire to.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.problogger.net/">Problogger</a></strong>- This is a site started by Darren Rowse. He has been blogging for years and has grown his empire to over a million dollars a year, just from blogging, advertising, and selling products.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/">Entrepreneur&#8217;s Journey</a></strong>- This site is run by another Aussie, Yaro Starak. He is a real underdog story, who is now one of the biggest independent bloggers out there, providing TONS of free content and audio interviews from rags-to-riches stories of Internet entrepreneurs all over the world.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Specialists:</strong></p>
<p>This is a group of bloggers that have picked a successful niche and have gained a really solid following, due to the content they provide, the atmosphere they create, and the personality that really comes through in their blogs.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://ittybiz.com/">Ittybiz</a></strong>- This is the marketing blog of Naomi Dunford.  She has created a cult-like following all based around her razor-sharp personality and her sailor&#8217;s mouth. This is not re-hashed marketing advice. Almost every blog post that she writes should be printed out and saved as reference material. Plus, she&#8217;s freakin&#8217; hilarious.</p>
<p><a href="http://worldsstrongestlibrarian.com/"><strong>The World&#8217;s Strongest Librarian</strong></a>- This blog is home to one of the most eclectic guys on the blogging scene. It&#8217;s run by Josh Hanagarne, a strong-man/librarian that is also battling with a cure for Tourettes Syndrome. His posts range from spectacular book reviews, to random thoughts, from weight lifting advice, to sage wisdom. Always worth a look on a daily basis.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.menwithpens.ca">Men With Pens</a></strong>- This is a site for writers. Not only does this group own their own web design and consulting company, but the frequent posts here offer some really good advice for fine-tuning your writing and improving your value to your market.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.procopytips.com/">ProCopy Tips</a></strong>- This is a copywriting blog that, in my humble opinion is a place that is a hidden gem, discovered by only a few.  It&#8217;s run by a life-long direct-response copywriter named Dean Rieck.  He gives away some great basic copywriting advice and even posts frequently on Copyblogger.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thesimpledollar.com/">The Simple Dollar</a></strong>- This is a personal finance/money blog by Trent Hamm. He has a cult-like following as well. He covers everything from investing, to debt removal, to bankruptcy and has authored a few books. Great site if you like money at all.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>My Friends and Underdogs:</strong></p>
<p>This is a group of up-and-coming bloggers that is really trying to make a difference in their respective markets. They haven&#8217;t hit the big time just yet, but I know they will, just based on the content and services they provide. These guys are definitely people to keep and eye on.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://tommydipietro.com/">Tommy DePietro</a></strong>- This guy is serious business. He runs a MLM marketing advice blog, has a ton of videos and is very passionate about his work. Tommy is really going somewhere.  He has been a frequent commenter on the Underdog Millionaire since the beginning.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://alexwhalley.com/">Alex Whalley</a></strong>- Alex is a really honest guy with a big heart. His blog focuses on keywords, SEO, and niche marketing. His posts are very thorough and he has come a LONG way in a short time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://bigredtomatocompany.co.uk/">The Big Red Tomato Company</a></strong>- This is a small business blog run by Matthew Needham.  He&#8217;s got some great ideas about consulting, small business marketing, and creating information products. Matthew is a real stand-up guy and we occasionally bounce ideas off each other since we are in the same niche.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/">Josh Garcia</a></strong>- This guy is another one that has slowly grown alongside the Underdog Millionaire. Josh is all about generating leads and giving great marketing advice. Definitely worth a look. You will see his blog comments all over the Internet.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">I think that should just about do it. Hope you enjoyed the list. Of course I&#8217;m sure I missed a few great blogs out there. Give me the name of someone that you really think is doing an amazing job of creating content?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Help your fellow Underdogs out and let&#8217;s get this post Tweeted all over the Net!</span></strong></p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>
<p>Joshua Black</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/how-to-turn-your-hobby-or-day-job-into-a-profitable-information-empire" title="Permanent link to How to Turn Your Hobby or Day Job Into a Profitable Information Empire"><img class="post_image aligncenter remove_bottom_margin" src="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/reportlogo.jpg" width="136" height="217" alt="how to create information products" /></a>
</p><p>One of the key things about owning a business, for me at least, is the ability to have it work for me while I am doing something else.</p>
<p>Yes, there are components of my business,<br />
such as consulting, where I am the one that<br />
has to do the work, but the main components<br />
are working for me 24/7/365 all over the<br />
world.</p>
<p>&#8230;and you can do the same thing.</p>
<p>If you are a small business owner or you are<br />
just thinking about getting started in small<br />
business, you understand how tough it can be,<br />
how you need to be in 120 places at the same<br />
time, and you may feel the need to be in<br />
control of every situation.</p>
<p>This can really burn a person out, and is a<br />
very tough way to grow a business, almost<br />
impossible.</p>
<p>There is a better way.</p>
<p>No matter what kind of crazy hobby you have<br />
and in most cases, no matter what kind of<br />
job you have, there is a business opportunity<br />
there.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking about information products.</p>
<p>No, this is not just selling e-books. This is<br />
creating an entire course where you take a person<br />
step-by-step to teach them a specific skill.</p>
<p>When you are working for yourself or someone<br />
else, you are just trading your precious personal<br />
time for cold-hard-smackeroos.</p>
<p>If you are not working, you are not getting paid.</p>
<p>Information products don&#8217;t care when you are working.<br />
Once you set up an info-product sales system, you<br />
can operate an international business from your<br />
kitchen table.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take an example:</p>
<p>Suppose you owned a window washing company. The<br />
only way you currently make money is to wash windows<br />
one by one, correct?</p>
<p>What if you multiplied your efforts and taught other<br />
people how to wash windows?</p>
<p>This would be extra money coming in on its own in<br />
addition to the money you still made while washing<br />
windows.</p>
<p>You aren&#8217;t really creating competition, because you<br />
are selling to people all over the world, where your<br />
business would never be in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>Things you would need to include:<br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>1. Complete videos of you washing windows of different<br />
sizes from start to finish.</p>
<p>2. A complete equipment list from A to Squeegee</p>
<p>3. A e-book manual that explained all of your secret<br />
tips and how to get a pile fo customers for free.</p>
<p>4. Audio transcripts of the e-book so that the person<br />
could learn how to operate their new business while<br />
they were driving to their current job.</p></blockquote>
<p>Once you have a large course like this, you could<br />
easily sell it for $397 or more, if you were teaching<br />
something that could make people a lot of money.</p>
<blockquote><p>Remember this- <strong>People don&#8217;t give a flying monkey&#8217;s<br />
butt about philosophy</strong>. They want to have their hand<br />
held and they want someone to show them the easiest<br />
way, step-by-step, to learn something new.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you can solve their problem, you can make a<br />
TON of money. Once you have spent the time to set up<br />
your business, you will have the ability to generate<br />
an automatic income for as long as your product is<br />
relevant.</p>
<p><strong>Think about it&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>What are you doing right now that you could multiply<br />
and train people how to do in a information product?</p>
<p>If you want to know more about creating your own<br />
information product empire, and to learn the easiest<br />
way to write your own e-book in as little as 5 days<br />
download my Information Product Report here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.information-product-report.com">http://www.information-product-report.com</a></p>
<p> Today I want t make a huge list that will help all of  the other would-be Underdog Millionaires out there. <strong>Add a comment below with another idea of a job or hobby, where is could be turned into an information product that could be sold for hundreds of dollars.</strong></p>
<p>Until Tomorrow,</p>
<p>Joshua Black<br />
<a href="http://www.information-product-report.com">http://www.information-product-report.com</a></p>
<p>P.S. After you create your own product I would love<br />
to hear about it. I will even showcase it on the<br />
blog, after you have used the course.</p>

</p><p>Recently an auction just finished up for a whole heap of items from Michael Jackson&#8217;s estate.</p>
<p>The prized item of the night, his white,<br />
crystal-studded glove, went for $190,000.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Since the King of Pop is no longer moon walking<br />
with us, people are scrambling for any little<br />
piece of him that they can get.</p>
<p>&#8230;and willing to pay HUGE piles of cash to get<br />
it.</p>
<p>So what does this have to do with your own<br />
small business? EVERYTHING.</p>
<p>You see, when you are developing a product<br />
pricing strategy, you are starting with your market.</p>
<p>You are deciding if you are targeting people with<br />
lots of money or people without much money.</p>
<p>You are deciding whether or not you want to have<br />
a product that has a high perceived value, or<br />
a commodity-like, discounted value.</p>
<p>One of the lessons that I teach in my Underdog<br />
Pricing Report: <a href="http://www.product-pricing-strategy.com/">http://www.product-pricing-strategy.com</a><br />
is that you can create heirloom value out of your<br />
stuff, just by the value that place on it.</p>
<p>Hence, the glove.</p>
<p>Just look at many of the products that we covet<br />
on a daily basis. Their actual manufacturing costs<br />
could be a few pennies, but the business owner<br />
deliberately decided to only make a few of something<br />
in order to keep the perceived value and the price<br />
way up there.<br />
Remember that there is no such thing as a true<br />
price for ANYTHING. All value is perceived by the<br />
buyer.</p>
<p>Just by increasing your prices, you can increase<br />
the perceived value.</p>
<p>Many times, small business owners that are just<br />
starting out, think that they don&#8217;t deserve to<br />
command a high price for their product, so they<br />
price it low, thinking they will make a splash<br />
in the market.</p>
<p>That is a huge mistake, one that I have made myself<br />
in the past.</p>
<p>If you want your customers to think that your<br />
product or service has that heirloom value<br />
that deserves to get such a big bag of cash, then<br />
you need to show your customers why.</p>
<p>Dust off that white glove.</p>
<p>Put on some Billy Jean.</p>
<p>Add so much value to your product that your customer<br />
will feel like they are stealing from you!</p>
<p>Product pricing strategy could be the most single,<br />
import feature of a business where most people<br />
have no idea how much money and business they have<br />
left on the table.</p>
<p>I have spelled it all out for you.</p>
<p>I pull back the curtain, lay it all out on the<br />
line, and give you a TON of information packed into<br />
a solid report on how you can put MORE money in<br />
your pocket, while doing LESS work, all with<br />
your pricing strategy.</p>
<p>If you want some serious CHANGE in your small business<br />
I highly suggest you check this out. You won&#8217;t be<br />
sorry.</p>
<p>Just a single tip from this report alone could<br />
make you thousands of dollars.</p>

A Plane? Nope, Just Another Underdog Millionaire"><img class="post_image aligncenter remove_bottom_margin frame" src="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/SuperpigMedium.jpg" width="355" height="385" alt="Post image for Is it a Bird? A Plane? Nope, Just Another Underdog Millionaire" /></a>
</p><p>So, as another weekend is upon us soon I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for becoming subscribers to the Underdog Millionaire family.</p>
<p>In case you haven&#8217;t subscribed sign up in the box</p>
<p>where it says &#8220;free stuff&#8221; &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;&gt;</p>
<p>I created the Underdog Millionaire site<br />
in order to help you grow your small business<br />
as painlessly as possible, and help you<br />
get the ability to show your customers that<br />
you are WAAAAAAY better than any other alternative<br />
that they are going to find.</p>
<p>I created the Underdog Millionaire site so<br />
that you don&#8217;t have to feel like you are alone<br />
when you are sitting at home, frustrated at<br />
your kitchen table, wondering if your idea is<br />
ever going to make it.</p>
<p>I created the Underdog Millionaire, because<br />
none of us can build a profitable business<br />
without help from others. The help that each<br />
person requires is different, so I try to<br />
mix it up as much as possible, offering<br />
suggestions from many different angles.</p>
<p>&#8230;but it&#8217;s not just about me.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really about you and what you want.<br />
It&#8217;s also about what you are not getting and<br />
the things that you would like to know about.</p>
<p>I can rant and rave and crack jokes about<br />
pea stands, my dog, or Lady Gaga all day<br />
long, but at the end of the day, if you are<br />
not getting out of this what you signed up<br />
for, then I am not doing my job.</p>
<p>Therefore, I am humbly looking for requests.<br />
What can I help you with in upcoming issues<br />
of the Tip Sheet?</p>
<p>What product could I develop for you that<br />
would help turn your business around?</p>
<p>What business problem are you having that<br />
is totally keeping you up at night, wondering<br />
how if you are going to make it through to<br />
the other side?</p>
<p>What would you like to change about the<br />
Underdog Millionaire if you could?</p>
<p>What do you think I&#8217;m doing well and want<br />
to see more of?</p>
<p>The more input that I can get back from you,<br />
my customers, the more I can customize the<br />
site, hone it to perfection, and provide you<br />
with that one, safe haven that you can go<br />
to to learn how to kick a lot of serious bootie<br />
with your powerful small business.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s hear it!</p>
<p>If you are brave enough, you can share your<br />
message with everyone else and post it at the<br />
bottom of this article, here  on the blog.</p>
<p>See you on the other side and thank you in advance<br />
for all of your comments. I can&#8217;t wait to see<br />
what you come up with.</p>
<p>Remember, if you have a question that you are<br />
willing to raise, you can bet that there are<br />
probably a thousand other people out there with<br />
the same issue, but weren&#8217;t strong enough to ask.</p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>
<p>Joshua Black</p>
<p>P.S. Now what would a Underdog Millionaire Tip<br />
Sheet be without a tiny sales pitch?  I just wanted<br />
to keep you in the loop about my next, huge book,<br />
Underdog Marketing 101. Here, I&#8217;m going to give you<br />
101 different FREE techniques that you can use to<br />
attract new (and old) customers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just getting the final cherry on top and I<br />
should be coming out with it in just a few weeks.</p>
<p>Those of you that have been EXTRA-loyal customers<br />
(and you know who you are) are going to get the<br />
deal of a lifetime on this product.</p>

</p><p>We both are probably in our businesses for a similar reason. We want to make life a little better for us and our families, while at the same time provide something of value to enhance the lives of our customers.</p>
<p>Somehow along the way, the journey of owning<br />
a business gets muddled with random issues.</p>
<p>We end up thinking that we know exactly what<br />
our customers will want. We invent things that<br />
we are sure will be the &#8220;next big thing&#8221; and<br />
sometimes we even get a few winners under our<br />
belts.</p>
<p>However, the road to amazing-ness is sometimes<br />
paved with razor blades and broken glass.</p>
<p>We get knocked down, dragged out, and occasionally<br />
even lit on fire as you try to claw your way to<br />
your amazing idea that will change the world.</p>
<p>Well, there is an EASIER way.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to take the hard, obscure road<br />
where there might only be a couple of customers.</p>
<p>The other way is not as glamorous.</p>
<p>The other way will not get you invited to fancy<br />
parties with limos and rock stars.</p>
<p>However, the other way is a much closer guarantee<br />
towards success than trying to develop a unique<br />
idea.</p>
<p>What is that way?</p>
<p>The 10% rule.</p>
<p>Take something that is ALREADY a rock-star success<br />
and tweak it by just 10%.</p>
<p>If you can improve a product or service by just 10%<br />
with things that the customers actually WANT (not<br />
like a Swiss Army cell phone), then you can almost<br />
ensure your success.</p>
<p>If you want to show your customers how you are<br />
the only on on the planet with that 10% improvement,<br />
then you have to start with a unique selling<br />
proposition or USP.</p>
<p>Your USP is the foundation of what your business<br />
stands for and the biggest promise that you can<br />
make to your customers.</p>
<p>Click here if you want to know more about creating<br />
your own USP with my custom-designed course:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ultimateuspcreator.com/">http://www.ultimateUSPcreator.com</a></p>
<p>What can you tweak just 10% in order to take<br />
your small business to the level you want to<br />
become?</p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>

</p><p>If you are looking to get into a new business of your own, especially consulting, then you might want to keep reading.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to show you a no-cost way that you can<br />
get new customers.</p>
<p>I go into this method in MUCH more detail in<br />
my new Underdog Marketing 101 book, where I give<br />
you 101 free ways to get new customers.</p>
<p>However, I thought I&#8217;d give you a little taste<br />
here, and use an example of someone that wanted<br />
to become a copywriter for small business.</p>
<p>&#8230;this will work for almost any kind of freelancing.</p>
<p>You start in the phone book.</p>
<p>Go in there and pick a poorly-worded advertisement<br />
and give a critique similar to the one I did with<br />
the <a href="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/copywriting-critique-of-the-worlds-worst-salesman">car salesman </a>(although not as harsh).</p>
<p>Give the customer some simple free advice that<br />
they can use right now to improve their copy<br />
and include a small sales letter about your<br />
business and fees.</p>
<p>Do this for a handful of local businesses in<br />
your area and see how quickly people will call<br />
you back.</p>
<p>You can increase your customer base in such<br />
a short time with this method.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a home-based business<br />
that you can start with almost no money that<br />
can easily supply you with a six-figure income<br />
in a matter of a few years, you may want to<br />
look into copywriting as a profession.</p>
<p>A great place to start is to learn how to write<br />
money-magnet sales letters.</p>
<p>The small group of copywriters that develop<br />
sales letters are the ones that are responsible<br />
for the sale of more stuff than any other method<br />
on earth.</p>
<p>You can learn how to write your own sales letters<br />
in as little as 8 hours with my <a href="http://www.sales-letter-system.com">Underdog Sales<br />
Letter System</a>.</p>
<p>Download it here:<br />
<a href="http://www.sales-letter-system.com/">http://www.sales-letter-system.com</a></p>
<p>Like I said. If you are in the freelancing business<br />
of any kind, the phone book method is a great<br />
way to get new clients.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not going to go into all of the details<br />
here, because that would not be fair to the<br />
people that buy the new book.</p>
<p>This method for getting new clients is going to<br />
be featured as an entire bonus report and the<br />
only way that you will be able to get it will<br />
be through the new book.</p>
<p>&#8230;coming soon.</p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>
<p>Joshua Black</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/you-have-only-10-seconds-to-get-rich" title="Permanent link to You Have Only 10 Seconds to Get Rich&#8230;"><img class="post_image alignnone remove_bottom_margin frame" src="http://www.underdogmillionaire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/moneystacks.jpg" width="250" height="250" alt="Post image for You Have Only 10 Seconds to Get Rich&#8230;" /></a>
</p><p>So, I was driving in my car yesterday,<br />
studying in automobile university as<br />
I like to call it, and one of my CDs<br />
mentioned a book that I totally forgot<br />
about.</p>
<p>This book could change your small<br />
business life.</p>
<p>&#8230;but before I get into that, I<br />
want to tell you about a tiny sales<br />
technique that most small business owners<br />
completely screw up when they get a new<br />
customer in their business.</p>
<p>The secret words that you want to ask<br />
are <strong>&#8220;what brings you here today?&#8221;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;how can I help you?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;what can I get for you?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;what are you looking for?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;hello, how are you&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;welcome to ACME Cinder Block Factory&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>NOT</strong> &#8220;here is our latest sales flyer&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230;and a million other crappy one-liners<br />
that all cause the customer to say those<br />
dirty, filthy five words that we have<br />
all used ourselves:</p>
<p>&#8220;No thanks, I&#8217;m just looking&#8221;</p>
<p>That one statement has been proven to<br />
increase in-store sales by something obscene<br />
like 300% (but don&#8217;t quote me on that).</p>
<p>&#8230;but you only have <strong>10 seconds</strong> to get those<br />
words out of your mouth, or the power is all<br />
gone.</p>
<p>See, your customer will answer the question<br />
right away and then you can move on to selling<br />
them what they WANT.</p>
<p>If you wait, it&#8217;s all over.</p>
<p>So, who is the genius that figured all of<br />
this out?</p>
<p>A guy named <strong>Elmer Wheeler</strong> in 1937.</p>
<p>He started an sales testing institute,<br />
where he tested 105,000 different sentences<br />
on 19 million (yep, million) people in<br />
order to find the perfect words that would<br />
close the most sales in order to sell piles<br />
of STUFF.</p>
<p>He was nice enough to write it all in a book<br />
called <strong>&#8220;Tested Sentences that Sell.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>He&#8217;s the dude that invented the term &#8220;sell the<br />
sizzle, not the steak,&#8221; and &#8220;say it with flowers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sure some of the stuff is sexist and some<br />
of the language is dated, but it&#8217;s a valuable<br />
book if you can get your paws on a copy.</p>
<p>If you want another valuable book for selling<br />
in any type of business environment, not just<br />
retail, and you want to be a <strong>CLOSER</strong> even if<br />
you are ghost-shy, click on over to:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.closing-the-sale.com/"><strong>http://www.closing-the-sale.com</strong></a></p>
<p>Depending on the traffic of today&#8217;s Underdog<br />
Millionaire Tip Sheet, I may leave this one<br />
up all weekend.</p>
<p>I cannot tell you how valuable this information<br />
is. It will help you in your copywriting as well.</p>
<p>What kinds of closing techniques do YOU use<br />
with your customers, that might benefit the<br />
rest of the Underdog Millionaires?</p>
<p><strong>If you appreciate this tip, please Tweet it, Digg it, share it and yell it out the window to anyone that&#8217;s listening.  I want to help as many people as I can.</strong></p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>

</p><p>So, you are probably wondering what the<br />
subject of today&#8217;s tip sheet is all about.</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s all about choice.</p>
<p>If you already own a business, today&#8217;s<br />
email will allow you to add another<br />
stream of income.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a business yet, or<br />
you are still trying to think of a new<br />
business model, you will want to keep<br />
reading as well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking about the PERFECT business.</p>
<p>Information products or ebooks.</p>
<p>For the price of a couple fancy cups<br />
of coffee, you can have the information<br />
to change your future for the better.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.information-product-report.com/">http://www.information-product-report.com</a></p>
<p>We are in an information age. The industrial<br />
age is gone. Now, more than ever folks<br />
are looking for answers to life&#8217;s biggest<br />
problems.</p>
<p>If you can provide that answer in a unique<br />
fashion and solve their problem you can<br />
develop a lucrative business for yourself.</p>
<p>If you already own a business, you can<br />
use free information products as a lead<br />
generation tool to get new customers or<br />
to develop a customer list.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a business to start,<br />
information products allow you to operate<br />
an INTERNATIONAL business from your kitchen<br />
table or anywhere you want to be.</p>
<p>There is no inventory.</p>
<p>There are no employees required.</p>
<p>You control how much you want to expand<br />
and how much money you want to make.</p>
<p>&#8230;but best of all, you can start this<br />
entire international business with just<br />
a few bucks, and you can create your<br />
products for FREE.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve included everything that you need to<br />
know to get started with your own info-<br />
product business in the Ultimate<br />
Information Product Report here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.information-product-report.com/">http://www.information-product-report.com</a></p>
<p>I use these same techniques to operate<br />
my own information business, and now I<br />
have customers in approximately 12<br />
different countries.</p>
<p>If you have specific knowledge about ANY<br />
subject or hobby and you think that another<br />
group of people might benefit from it,<br />
you can make money by selling information<br />
products, period.</p>
<p>It is not all fun and games.</p>
<p>Is is not easy and it is not for everyone,<br />
but if you are willing to put in the time<br />
you can create your own business that<br />
will operate 24/7/365 almost entirely on<br />
autopilot.</p>
<p>Information products can benefit ANY business<br />
and you may want to consider how they<br />
could change your life.</p>
<p>Skip the drive-through lunch for one day<br />
and see if you can change your family tree.</p>
<p>Download the Ultimate Information Product<br />
Report and see what happens.</p>
<p>Until tomorrow,</p>
<p>Joshua Black<br />
P.S. Stay tuned tomorrow to find out 5<br />
different ways that you can use information<br />
products to help your existing small business.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you are looking for the next little<br />
project to take on that you could make<br />
you a huge pile of moolah, keep reading.</p>
<p>I found this little article on-line and<br />
it gives amazing statistics about how the<br />
ebook revolution is going to sweep the<br />
country in the next few years.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13722389?source=rss" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1257517686_0">http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13722389?source=rss</span></a></p>
<p>In a nutshell, it says that currently<br />
ebook sales only amount to 1.5% of the<br />
current $6.8 Billion (yes with a B) in<br />
annual sales from published physical books.</p>
<p>10 million people are expected to own ebook<br />
readers in the homes by next year, but that&#8217;s<br />
only a fraction of the available market.</p>
<p>Aren&#8217;t ebooks dead? You ask&#8230;</p>
<p>Heck no. I&#8217;m living proof.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve only just begun.</p>
<p>And the best part is, it doesn&#8217;t matter what<br />
business you are in.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you don&#8217;t want to do it<br />
full time.</p>
<p>Who doesn&#8217;t want an extra wad of cash coming<br />
in every month automatically from something<br />
they only had to create once?</p>
<p>The choice is yours.</p>
<p>You can start to establish yourself now as the<br />
next expert in your field, where everyone will<br />
flock to buy from&#8230;</p>
<p>Or you can sit on the sidelines.</p>
<p>CD&#8217;s are almost obsolete thanks to <span id="lw_1257517686_1" style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">MP3 players</span>.</p>
<p>Books will never completely disappear, but I bet<br />
we have only seen the beginning as far as how<br />
many people will start reading digital ebooks.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p>Do you want to be part of the revolution?</p>
<p>It will cost you less than 10 bucks.</p>
<p>Start here: <a href="http://www.information-product-report.com/" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1257517686_2">www.information-product-report.com</span></a></p>
<p>Have a great weekend. May your business bring<br />
you wealth beyond your wildest imagination,</p>
