Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie enters the 21st Century... gives away a free online audio interview... and reveals how you can boost sales of any
product with a simple email newsletter.'
Hi,
Last weekend the girlfriend and I were in Brighton, having a bit of a break.
Ah, yes, the joys of going to the seaside out of season.
You can't beat a bit of sun, sea, and winds that freeze your eyeballs off.
There's nothing like being the only couple on a ghost train at the end of a pier, hurtling very slowly through rooms that are LESS scary than the public toilets you've just been to.
Or sitting, hunched in the corner of a pier-end pub with a watered-down pint, 27 drooling lunatics and a karaoke machine.
Or cursing a pigeon for crapping on your chips.
Beats a holiday in Tuscany right?
The weirdest thing was, we were in a seafood restaurant on the first night, and sat along from us was another couple...similarly dressed, eating lobster.
The next night, we wandered around the centre of Brighton, trying to settle on a place to eat. Eventually we picked a tapas restaurant.
Minutes later, the very same couple came in and sat down near us.
Spooky.
Perhaps they were our "couple doppelganger".
Unless, of course, we were drunk and didn't realise we were sat next to a mirror.
Which is possible.

Onto the useful stuff - here's something FREE
**************************************
On account of me having a successful email newsletter... (although there are many more like me)...
I've recently been dragged into the 21st Century by Nick Laight of Canonbury Publishing.
If you don't know already, Nick is one of the country's leading biz opp experts. He's also the guy who gave me guidance when I set up 'Adventures in the Biz Opp Jungle'.
He had a proposition.
"Do you want to do a multi-media presentation?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied, not knowing what he was talking about.
(I like to have a 'can-do' attitude, even when I don't know what exactly it is I can do.)
"It's like an online interview", Nick explained. "Where we talk about how people can make money from email newsletters."
Brilliant. I thought. Forget about the old-fashioned written word...
********************
Let's upload OURSELVES
********************
So he phoned me up and we started a recorded chat about email newsletters... how they began... how they make money... tips and tricks for beginners...
To hear it for free, go to http://www.bizoppjungle.com and look on the right hand side of the page. You'll see "FREE: web chat". Beneath it are play, pause and stop buttons.
Get yourself a cup of tea.
Sit down.
Press 'play'.
Listen for 45 minutes (it will fly by!) You'll find yourself knowing a lot more about this business opportunity than your average Tom, Dick, Harry or Cilla.
(The last one is my own addition)
So go and listen. It'll cost you nowt.

The newsletter business in a nutshell
******************************
If you don't know how free emails could possibly be a part-time home business opportunity, then check out this

Yes, it's a promotion for my book, but it pretty much explains the business in a nutshell.
If you've already bought 'The Inbox Tycoon', then please do listen to the audio interview with Nick Laight. I think it will add depth to your knowledge and give you some more ideas.
And if you HAVEN'T bought the Inbox Tycoon...
Many people think it's all very complicated, but it's really not. It's as simple as you want it to be.
The idea is that you take a niche subject... like astrology, gardening, pet care, model trains, vintage records, your local community... and send out short, free emails with tiny chunks of useful information on the subject.
It can literally be stuff you cut and paste - legally.
You can then use your emails to grow an audience, sell products, recommend stuff, or simply keep in touch with current customers.
It's easily possible to make £1000 to £300 a month from home this way, sending out a couple of emails a week.

This can boost profits of your current biz opp
*************************************
Setting up an email newsletter is not just a biz opp on its own.
If you are involved in ANY type of home business right now, email newsletters can help you shift more products... increase your downline... drive traffic to a website... keep your customers happier and more loyal... expand your customer base... earn you extra commission and advertising revenue.
For example, I got an email today from a reader who is selling records online. My advice to him goes for anyone trying to sell online...
1. Get an Ebay shop to flog your wares. Make sure it's a specialised area - for example, vintage records, toys, old comics, watercolours, or motivational books - and not just random stuff.
2. Now write a free weekly email newsletter to your customers, with new offers, special vintage bargains, new rarities etc. ('The Inbox Tycoon'
explains exactly how to do this.)
3. Promote your free email service on related websites and newsletters. This way you catch more readers who you can then sell stuff to and drive to your online shop. (This is all in 'The Inbox Tycoon'.)
4. Now offer to sell other companies' records and related products to your subscribers on a commission basis. And sell yours to them. (All in the book!)
Hey presto. You have a fantastic online business.
There's so much potential to this. And it's catching on.
Every week I see new email newsletters.
...Bike shops, record stores, political parties, gossip websites, information marketers, health food stores, dating websites...
Many now use weekly emails to grow their customer base, create new markers to sell to and get mindblowing responses to their promotions and offers.
Go and have a listen to the audio interview. As the late John Inman would say: "I'm free".
