As you know, my website www.e-zpoolcare.com has a sales page. I am filming a poolstart up DVD next week and will be able to offer a ebook, start-up and shut down, full pkg. for pool care in the very near future. My target demographic, are new homwowners with a pool and no idea of how to look after them. Pool companies traditionally upsell and convince the prospective customer into buying alot of chemicals they do not need. I have simplified the entire process. How should I initiate "the conversational process, worldwide" ????????? appreciate your help.

Your focused topics are essential parts of any successful online business. You may find other areas as well that need to be discussed. After 4 years of learning and failing I have lots of ideas to share. As you know master-mind groups are the big trend in business today so you are on the cutting edge I believe. Good for you. We can all learn from this process. Curt Hello Rodger,

Also would appreciate discussions on other product development and how to successfully market them. General marketing skills for speaking engagements also a high interest activity. Thanks.

Your comment about how sales letters aren't read is absolutely right-on — that's <i>exactly</i> how I read those sent to me! I'd love to know what format of sales letters get read without annoying the [potential] client/customer. -Les Rodger:

Do you think that having a webpage is somehow related to having customers? That is a common idea like we have seen in the movies, "Build it and they will come." Jeff Walker, an Internet Marketing superstar, recently talked about this as "Hope" marketing. Create a website and hope that people come and buy your products. Newer concepts say that you should not even try to create your products until you have created the relationship with your market. This way, you really know what your market wants. Also, by using this approach, you have already established trust. With this approach, you don't even seem to need the traditional website to showcase yourself or your products. Personally, I was having trouble with this because I had a stack of webpages I had created in hopes that the customers would come. I had invested time and energy into creating something. It is still hard to hear that my investment might not pay off. I'm putting together a free ebook about this idea of building the relationship first, based on what I have recently learned. I expect to be able to post it for you all sometime this weekend. If you have joined here, I'll email you with download details. Rodger Debbie: Thanks for speaking up.
