The Alice FAQ - Would Anyone Pay for This Stuff?

Maybe…maybe not. But it doesn’t matter anyway, I’m going to give it away for free.

If you’re a subscriber to my Internet Marketing Prescriptions newsletter, you know that I give you an opportunity to submit Internet Business questions…and I try to answer them in the newsletter. Well, I fell so behind, but I got so many great questions on everything from:

• Starting from scratch - where to begin
• Finding your target market
• Building traffic
• Increasing sales
• and tons more

…that I thought, I’d better answer these questions. So, I’m working on The Alice FAQ and you’ll only have access to it if you’re a subscriber. It is going to be a very comprehensive overview of doing business online. But just one warning - The Alice FAQ is totally from my perspective - the single mom supporting her family solely from her online business earnings. I’m short on time and sometimes I’m short on patience, but I still try to be nice. I may say things you might not like, might not believe or downright disagree with…so enter at your own risk.

I expect the FAQ to be ready in the next few weeks, so sign up for the newsletter now (see the sign up box at the top right?). One day after you subscribe, you’ll get access to submit a question for the FAQ and then you’ll be alerted when it’s ready.

And for the millionth time - NO MATH QUESTIONS, PLEASE!

Almost Famous - On the PodCast Radio Show

I had fun this afternoon in the “Green Room” on the PodCast Radio Show. Funny thing…I know very little about podcasting, but they invited me anyway. Be sure to listen in — Tony Marino is quite a funny guy. You can hear all kinds of info on podcasting and a little bit from me on marketing.

The Crazy Ways People Find My Blog

I was just taking a quick look at my referral stats for this blog and here’s a few odd search phrases that people used to find my blog. I thought you might get a chuckle out of these:

> “cold and dark” - I’m not am I, really?
> “how to increase your brain power” - Oh, I’m not sure if I can help with that.
> “laughter” - Hey, that’s cool. I like to laugh.
> “alice internet” - Aha! It really was me that invented it!
> “moms gone crazy” - Hey, what is that supposed to mean?
> “seba tumor” - Hmmmm…not sure how to take that.
> “i want a horse but my mom said that they are too much money” - That’s what my mom told me too!
> “who is alice seba” - That would be me!
> “important women” - Hey thanks.
> “say no to the internet” - Sometimes, it’s hard, isn’t it?
> “everything else is crap” - Besides my blog, right?
> “andre has a big mouth” - I couldn’t agree more.

Well, that’s just a few of the crazy things. It’s amazing what people search for to find you.

If I’m an Underachiever, Why The Heck Did I Do This?

What was I thinking? This self-proclaimed lazy marketer just made one of the biggest mistakes EVER by trying to be a bigshot and do it all herself.
Long before I heard of Frank Kern & Ed Dale, I subscribed to the idea of being an Underachiever…and getting other people to do the hard work. Of course, their Underachiever Mastery System is much more than just being “lazy”, but it’s this principle that first attracted me to their course.

So, if I’m lazy and I like to get other people to do the hard work for me…why the heck did I decide that I’d burn the CDs and get my binders together for not only my Underachiever bonuses, but my Marketing to Moms in Business course too? The bonuses have 8 CDs and the Marketing to Moms course has a whopping 11 CDs…it doesn’t take long to add up to a heckuvalotof CDs.

So, I’ve been spending my days and nights…burning, burning, burning. What a pain in the rear end, especially when I could be doing things that would actually be making me MONEY or geez, I could be studying my Underachiever Mastery course — but there’s no time for that right now! I’ve looked at some of the product fulfillment centers out there and not only would they put it together faster than me, they can do it CHEAPER than me.

ARGH! Ah well, lesson learned and I hope that you don’t make the same mistake too.
A few friends have given me recommendations on fulfillment centers, but feel free to post yours in the comments area too.
