We are hoping to have our grand opening by November but we will keep you posted. Being the middle of Sept., everyone has had time to settle into the "back to school" schedule and hopefully concentrate more on building their business. Running a home, family, and business can be exhausting at times and it helps to be able to take outa little time and relax your body and mind. Attempting to do all this can be quite stressful! We have added a new ebook to the store that might help in this situation. It is called How to Reduce Stress at Home and in the Workplace. You can find it at: http://www.seymourproducts.com/ebooks-resell/admin/edit_item.php?ItemID=836 Here are a couple of tips from this ebook that will lower stress in five minutes or less: Take a quick walk around the block. Take 10 long deep breaths. Your belly should expand as you inhale and contract as you exhale. Massage your eyes by placing your palms over them and apply gentle pressure while spiraling your palms. Try the same technique for your ears. Periodically, try to block out all sight and sound for just a second or two. Researchers report this can be a refreshing experience from a psychological standpoint.

People just e-mail your autoresponder to receive the free course and it is sent out automatically over time. You can find free follow-up autoresponders to use by typing it into any search engine. Below are ten ways to use them to increase your traffic and sales. 1. Offer your course as a free bonus for purchasing one of your main products or services. People will buy your products quicker when you offer a bonus. 2. When you write and give away a free course you will become known as an expert. This'll gain people's trust and they will buy your main product quicker. 3. Allow others to add your free course to their own product packages. Their customers will see your ad when they purchase. 4. People love to get freebies. A free autoresponder course is perfect. They will visit your web site to get the free valuable information. 5. Allow people to receive your course for free, if they give you the e-mail addresses of 3 to 5 friends or associates that would be interested. 6. Allow other people to give away your free course. This will increase the number of people that will see your ad in the course. 7. You could trade advertising space in your course for other forms of advertising. It could be banner ads, e-zine ads, web site ads, etc. 8. Gain new leads by having people sign up and give you their contact info before they can receive your autoresponder course. 9. Give away the autoresponder course as a free gift to your current customers as a way of letting them know you appreciate their business. 10. Give away the course to people that join your affiliate program. This will increase the number of people that sign-up. 11. Make money selling advertising space in your course. You could charge for small classified ads or sponsor ads. 12. Get free advertising by submitting your course to freebie web sites. This will increase the number of people that will see your ads in the course. 13. Make money by selling the reprint rights to those people that would like to sell the course. You could make more money by selling the master rights. 14. Hold a contest on your web site so people could win your course. You will get free advertising when you submit your contest to free contest directories. 15. You'll gain valuable referrals from people telling others about your course. Word of mouth advertising can be very effective. 16. Make money cross promoting your course with other people's products or services. This technique will double your marketing effort 17. Increase your e-zine subscribers by giving your course to people that subscribe to your e-zine. This'll give people an incentive to subscribe. 18. Allow your affiliates to use the free course as a promotional tool for your product. Each lesson could include their affiliate link. 19. Promote other businesses affiliate programs you join with your free autoresponder course. Include a different affiliate link on each lesson. 20. Advertise a different product or service on each lesson. If you only have one, use different emotional response ads on each lesson. ----------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Cody Moya writes about Business and Marketing in his Free Internet Marketing Courses.

He then walked 100 yards, turned around, and shot a bullet through his hat. The blindfold was a perfectly good one, completely blocking the man's vision. How did me manage this feat?
