How to build your own successful home business and make an unlimited income?

Part 3

Does email campaign work?
My home business success is dependant upon advertisement campaigns. In order to help others to be interested in the home based business and the product, it's part of the process that the system requires 10% of work by me and 90% by the system. Even though, the product has a lot of demands, people are not able to find out about the great home business opportunity unless someone tells them or shows them about the product.

I used opt-in email campaign for specifically targeted home based business market as one of the advertisement efforts through an online advertisement company along with other types of advertisements online and on printed weekly magazines. For the email campaign I have chosen americaintmedia which was not one of the highly rated but they claim that their success is solely dependant upon the success of their direct email campaigns since 1996. They call it Bulk Email Software Superstore. However, my experience with the company tells me otherwise and their promises have never met.

I have chosen to do the campaign first 100,000 and planed to do more after I see its result. The company guaranteed me at least 10% of 100,000 opt-in email would visit my website. If not, they would run the email campaign until 10% would be met. However, my email campaign turned out less than a minimal result. First I saw the result 11 visits on my website out of 100,000 through the advertisement tracking system, I thought they only sent out emails to a partial number of people. So, I called the company and asked the question whether they have sent emails out to all 100,000. The customer service told me they did but they made a mistake sending out emails to general untargeted people not opt-in emails for specific targeted people. So, they promised me that they would send emails out again as I ordered opt-in email for home based business.

First, I asked the customer service to send me the copy of my email campaign the same way they would send out to 100,000 people. The customer service told me that he could not do that but he could send me email a copy as a text separately. I thought that was odd but I asked him to go ahead as he said. However, the second result I found after a few days of hassle with the company asking them to send email campaign out to 100,000 as I ordered as soon as possible.

The second email campaign finally sent out by the company as I originally requested for opt-in email for home based business to 100,000 people, the result was again showed 22 visits my website out of 100,000. I again called the customer service and told them the result. The company's customer service told me that they couldn't force people to open my website and it all depends on the message. I totally agree with that however, the email message has been successful by other people who ran the campaign through other advertisement companies. The americaintmedia promises 10% of visits to website from any number of opt-in email campaigns, which they never followed through with my campaign. Come on, total 23 out of 200,000 emails; 100,000 for general and 100,000 for opt-in emails? This company's email campaign for my business was disaster.

I admit that there is no way to know how many people is going to open my website through email campaign but 23 out of 200,000, the advertisement company should be shamed of taking money for it from any advertiser. According to the company's website, they would manage and excute targeted campaigns for you and they take the time necessary to assist you in designing and excuting effective online advertising that works. In addition, they can help ensure your marketing spend yields a positive return on investment; however, they never neither suggested anything with my message nor design. My guess is their employees are not knowledgeable for email marketing about what works and what doesn't. Even though, they said their experience has been in the business more than 10 years.

Well, I learned a lesson through this. I take the responsibility for picking the wrong company and move on, knowing now that I wouldn't make the same mistake again. I have other advertisement campaigns running through online advertisement companies and advertisements on weekly printed magazines. I will find out what's working and what's not. I'll inform you the result whoever following this article hoping that this will help you make a decision on your next advertisement for your home business without making the same mistake that I made.

So, does the opt-in email campaign work?
It might work for some. It all depends upon the message and the product as well as the advertisement company’s honesty and integrity to deliver what they promised. Even though, my email message that I used had worked with others and the great product I have. However, the experienced and well knowledgeable advertisement people or company can work with you throughout the process from the composing and designing for your campaign. One thing I'm sure of that I wouldn't use americaintmedia online advertisement company and I wouldn't recommend the company to anyone neither.

You might ask. Am I still confident about building a successful home business and make unlimited income with my business? Answer is YES. That's why I'm investing in advertisements and I have gotten pretty good responses from other advertisements. It's a matter of time that I'll have my harvests because the product will sell itself and the system will do the work for me. It requires persistance and more advertisements.

I'll continue to write about progress on my home business success on my blog.

Part Two

Find something you're passionate about in relation to your financial freedom. What is your purpose?
We all have different reasons why we want to be financially successful. The purpose that makes us excel to achieve our financial goal. The reason that I got into this home based business is to make more money for my purpose; to build a green community, and to help children who are in need financially. What is yours? It can be paying off all your debt; buy a home for your mother to pay back her hard work for you; early retirement; send your child to a medical school; travel around the world; you want your wife to stay home with your children; build your own home based business; or, simply make more money, etc. Whatever the reason or purpose that makes you something to passionate about making money.

Most of people think about things what they want to do when they become rich but they never have enough passion to do something about it. They only have dream or wish to become wealthy, but not a purpose.

A man said once that the richest place in the world is a cemetary. Because there are so many unfulfilled dreams burried in it. Can you imagine what could have had these people accomplished? We never would be able to find out. So did they.

So, you should be happy when you open your eyes in the morning because it's not too late for you to start. Your day should be exciting because you know already what you want to do and why you want to do it, knowing that the end of the day you are closer to your purpose.

I don't know about you but I know what's my day is going to be when I open my eyes in the morning. It's going to be a wonderful day because I have the purpose for making money and I'm passionate about reaching them with my home based business.

Many businesses are closing down or let go of many workforces such as Motormobile and Airline Industries. People who are used to work at these places have to find other means of work or force them to make career changes. Unfortunately, employment opportunities are limited however, there are a plenty of work from home opportunities or home based business opportunities under catagory of at home work online, computer work from home, earn money at home, staying home mom job, or making money on the internet, etc.

I'll continue to give you an idea about the process of doing my home based business the next time.
