You work a 40hr+ week for someone else, and you don't have time to mess around when you get home from work to be looking for prospects, or burning the midnight oil to promote your site.

What do you do?

If you're one of the 97% that is in this boat, here is a more efficient, and productive action plan for your short term, and long term marketing goals:

1. Purchase "high quality" "Opportunity Seeker" leads with full contact information.

This will give you the "kick start" your business needs to make sales by contacting them via phone, and email to make immediate sales (short term).

2. Focus your efforts, and purchase only highly "Targeted" advertising.

Leverage your time by purchasing extremely targeted advertising to your specific market and have it working for you while you're at the "JOB".

That way you're concentrating on engaging prospects and making sales when you get home, not fishing for them during the limited time you have to work your own business.

Remember the 20/80 rule. 80% of your results will come from 20% of the things you do right on a regular basis.

In other words, you should focus 100% of your time on engaging prospects via telephone, and email to develop a dialog with them, gain their trust, and make sales.

Yes, your website is there to assist you with this, however it should be viewed as part of your "long term" marketing strategy, to help build your "OPT-IN" list, or lists, and for "branding" yourself.

TIP: Customer needs, more information that is better explained on your website. While you have them on the phone, walk them through the website information, and then once things are clear to them (benefits of what you offer), ask them to join with you, and/or make a purchase, i.e. wrap up the sale.

Anything less is a waste of your valuable time, especially if you're still locked into the 9 to 5 job.

Something else to ponder...

Today's online Entrepreneur needs to stand out from all the marketing messages online, and "cut through" all the clutter (mainly Spam) in most people's email box, and this is a way to do it.

You know this is true, because you're probably being hammered, and pummeled into the ground (OVERWHELM) with marketing messages in your inbox at this very moment, right?

You get home from work, and download your email... what do you see: 300 emails, and 290 of them are junk mail, and offers from lists you joined right?

Oh, and don't forget about those valuable newsletters you receive that you don't have time to read anymore.

Now you're getting the picture. Your prospects are having to deal with the same thing.

Now go out there and get your hands dirty a little, and engage your prospects today, because profitable businesses deal with real people every day.

In the short term, and long term, you'll be glad you did.
