			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/nichereaper.html"></a><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Is Internet Marketing a real Business for you, or just an expensive hobby..?</span></strong></p>
<p>I've heard a fair bit of "grumbling", even from some well known "guru's", that their earnings have dropped off over the last 9 months or so, but in the same period my business (and yes, it is a business, not a "hobby") has increased it's profits by almost 40%...</p>
<p>How..?</p>
<p>Simples...</p>
<p>I've been constantly adding new products to my "funnel"!</p>
<p>and this is what can change your internet marketing "hobby" in to a real, long term, business!</p>
<p>With out your own product line you're always going to be at the mercy of others...</p>
<p>Yes, it is easier to just be an "affiliate" for other people, but you'll make a LOT more money with your own products!</p>
<p>AND it's really a lot easier than you probably think.</p>
<p>In the last 10 months I've added 25 new products to my "funnel", it would be more if I hadn't got a little "lazy" over the summer months, and I have another already planned between now and December.</p>
<p>Once you get in to this, it really becomes a simple "system", and it becomes a little addictive! lol!</p>
<p>I've found that the "theory" that people will buy more of your own products than someone else's is VERY true, and the more products I add to my funnel, the better it gets...</p>
<p>On top of this is the amazing effect it has on your list building efforts, when I buy a "Solo Ad", as long as the ad "more or less" breaks even in the first few days, I know that over the coming weeks it will end up making 2-3 times more in pure profits as thos new subscribers go through my "funnel" of products.</p>
<p>that means I can just concentrate on finding new sources of solo ads and other <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/webtraffic.html">traffic</a>!</p>
<p>do you see how this make the difference between a "hobby", where you're always running as hard as you can just to "keep up", and a real business, where you're actually in control..?</p>
<p>I hope so!  <img src='http://mattgarrett.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>so now it's time for you to start building your Business, by starting to build up your funnel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so two minutes later I get a perfect example of someone who really does provide value in their emails, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/nichereaper.html"></a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.jonathonleger.com" title="Jonathon Leger">Jonathon Leger</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunatly he's not posted this one on his blog (which is well worth visiting), so I can't link directly to it, but the email is basically explaining about how some people will steal your sites bandwidth by using your images on their sites..</p>
<p>I not only recommend checking out Jon's blog, but sign up for his newsletter while you're there, he makes the effort to send out some really useful info.</p>
<p>OK, so he is still promoting something, specifically a script from Willie Crawford that will protect your site against this kind of "virtual" theft, but he's promoting it as the ideal solution to a real problem.</p>
<p>This is exactly why Jon's blog was one of the first I put in my blogroll links for "internet marketers".</p>
