Running a successful business is hard work…or is it?

In this article series, I'm sharing THREE of my personal secrets for reducing work hours and increasing profits.

This week, I'm going to reveal my secret for earning $1,000 (or MORE!)…in just 10 minutes a day.

There are 2 steps to this strategy…

The First Step: Sell a highticket item that puts $1,000 or more net profit into your pocket for every sale.

I've found it doesn't take any more time, effort, or advertising expense to sell a highticket item than to sell a lowticket item. And, it only takes ONE sale to make $1,000 net profit as opposed to TWENTY $50 sales to earn that same $1,000.

Once you have your highticket item…

The Next Step: You spend 10 minutes a day advertising your product…and train someone else to do the rest.

Yes, this really is as simple as it sounds.

You do the advertising. And you find someone else who will:

• Call your prospects.
• Follow-up with your prospects.
• Close the sales.
• Send your product to your customers.

You then share a portion of your net profit with them.

For example, if your product earned a $1,000 net profit, you could pay your salesperson $250 for every closed sale. That leaves you with a hefty profit…and $250 is a large enough amount to inspire most commissioned salespeople.

There's an upside and a downside to this strategy…

Once your sales assistant sees the money they COULD be earning if they were doing what YOU are doing, they'll upgrade to seller status themselves.

• The Upside: You've now turned your sales assistant into a customer and earned money from that sale.
• The Downside: You now have to find and train someone else.

OR…if, like me, you want to avoid the downside altogether, you can always do what I've done…

Find a Sales Center that will sell your product for you:

• THEY talk to prospects.
• THEY follow-up with prospects.
• THEY close the sales.
• THEY ship the product

And, I get to keep 100% of the $1,000 net profit instead of sharing it with them!

Even better…the Sales Center is in charge of hiring and training new salespeople. In this business model, I truly only have to spend 10 minutes a day advertising, and still earn $1,000 or more for every sale. It's the best of both worlds.

Till then…

Each week I evaluate a different product or service to help you separate the gems from the junk. This week I'm reviewing…

"Instant Niche Emails"

This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't start from the beginning. So here goes…

I received a phone call the other day from a woman I met at one of the live seminars I attended. She asked me this question:

"Wouldn't it be great if a piece of software could actually write an entire year's worth of follow-up email messages FOR you? And, wouldn't it be extra cool if the messages looked 'handwritten' and had YOUR personality stamped all over them?"

My response was:

"Yeah, that would be great. But, there's no way a piece of software could create several series of messages that didn't look like carbon copies of each another."

Imagine my surprise when she said:

"It's already been done!"

And she was right. For the first time in history, this is actually possible. ..with the breakthrough new tool "Instant Niche Emails."

With this cutting edge software program, all you have to do is enter some basic information about your website or niche, copy and paste a few jokes and quotes from the materials that are provided to you, and click a button.

And voila!…An entire year's worth of weekly emails (52 messages in all) are instantly created.

I thought this was too good to be true…until I sat down to use it.

In just 28 minutes, I created 3 months worth of weekly messages!

Best of all, each message was unique, interesting to read, and definitely sounded like ME.

Imagine…

With "Instant Niche Emails," you could capture the names and email addresses of your website visitors — and send them an entire year's worth of your promotions and affiliate recommendations — without ever having to write one email message!

This program is really swift. I found myself asking "why didn't I think of that!" because it just makes everything so simple and dummy-proof.

I know it's almost too amazing to believe. That's why you must check out "Instant Niche Emails" NOW for yourself. Just make sure you're sitting down before you use this awesome tool! (LOL)

Dear Holly,

I do appreciate your insights–but, this latest email hits where it hurts…in my current independent contractor, art director, pocketbook. Yes, you suggest employers save money by hiring graphic and web designers as independent contractors, but we're the ones stuck with the double SS and FICA tax!

To have to subtract 25% of my meager pay for taxes, it doesn't make this kind of work worthwhile. It kind of makes us indentured servants at the employers will, to just dispose of if we make too much noise about inadequate pay. And it makes it that much harder to land a full time position.

(But, as you say, there are many hungry workers out there…). Please, some helpful hints for the designer caste?

Dear Ron,

I wish I had better news for you, but independent contractors like yourself are in the exact same position as me and the other self-employed business owners who are hiring you.

Whether you realize it or not…you are in actuality a small business owner yourself. In YOUR case, your business is the service you provide to other small businesses.

Like you, all small business owners must pay both the employee and employer taxes and other withholdings. There are no easy answers. If you're self-employed, you're going to pay double to Uncle Sam.

However, there IS good news…

If you structure your business right, you can earn more as a self-employed small business owner than you ever could as an employee. You can also provide yourself with more job security than you'd have if you worked as an employee for someone else.
