FROM
THE EDITOR'S DESK
Hello Adlanders,
They say April showers bring
May Flowers, and unfortunately along with the
flowers also come the weeds. Last weekend which
was Easter, I spent several hours pulling weeds
which had grown excessively tall, and the
following two days I really felt my age...LOL
Talking about weeds and flowers, I thought I'd
mention the parable of the sower. This is found
in the 13th Chapter of Matthew.
"Once there was a man who went out to sow grain.
As he scattered the seed in the field, some of
it fell along the path, and the birds came and
ate it up. Some of it fell on rocky ground,
where there was little soil. The seeds soon
sprouted, because the soil wasn't deep. But when
the sun came up, it burned the young plants; and
because the roots had not grown deep enough, the
plants soon dried up. Some of the seed fell
among thorn bushes, which grew up and choked the
plants. But some seeds fell in good soil, and
the plants bore grain: some had one hundred
grains, others sixty, and others thirty."
Jesus explains the parable:
Those who hear the message about the Kingdom but
do not understand it are like the seeds that
fell along the path. The Evil One comes and
snatches away what was sown in them. The seeds
that fell on rocky ground stand for those who
receive the message gladly as soon as they hear
it. But it does not sink deep into them, and
they don't last long. So when trouble or
persecution comes because of the message, they
give up at once. The
seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for
those who hear the message; but the worries
about this life and the love for riches choke
the message, and they don't bear fruit. And the
seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who
hear the message and understand it: they bear
fruit, some as much as one hundred, others
sixty, and others thirty."
The message I'd like to portray here is that we
need to be careful where and how we sow our
seeds. Let's attempt to let the seeds land on
the good soil, so that our results can be
productive, and those around us will see our
fruits. Let us also maintain an attitude of
gratitude, and then we will be like a magnet,
attracting those around us.
This month I've chosen to feature a good friend
who has been around the Adland Community for
quite some time. Her name is Vessie Cottrell.
Please welcome her, and invite her to be your
friend if you have not already done so.
May you continue to be blessed in all your
activities.
Sincerely,
James Wright

Sales and Marketing Tips |
Five
Tips on Creating Advertising that Works
1. Get the message out to your target audience.
Your ad campaign should focus on what your niche
market is looking for. Avoid creating an ad
campaign that tries to attract everyone, stick
to the market that will make purchases from you.
2.
Branding your Product or Service. Your image is
your name and/or logo! This is what your
audience is looking for to identify you to them.
Build and promote it, but most importantly be
consistent with how you represent your image as
this will build customer recognition and
loyalty.
3.
Free ads are great but paid ads are worth the
cost. You have to spend money to make money.
Like most things we do, if you have a financial
investment in your advertising you will pay
attention to the detail of your ads and what
results they are getting. If it costs you
nothing your less likely to invest your time
into the ads for appearance or tracking the
results.
4.
Test drive your ads. If you are just starting
out chances are good you do not have the money
to hire a focus or marketing group to test your
ads. However you can build your own ads and with
the help of family and friends get feedback from
them or you can even try it in a public place
like a coffee shop, grocery store etc… you can
ask a stranger but remember to keep it short as
you will not have their attention for long.
5.
Tracking your ads. The most important task of
your advertising. If possible ask customers
where they heard about you. If you have any
statistics available to you from your
advertisers (Online, Radio/TV or Print), use
this to identify trends with sales and traffic.
It can be tedious but it lets you know what you
are doing right and what’s not working.
If you are still in need of help, please contact
me and I will send out as much information as I
can to assist you.
Regards,
Barry Scott

Hello Everyone,
First I would like to thank James Wright
very much for reaching out and giving me
this opportunity to introduce myself to all
of you! I will start with how AdlandPro is
helping me. It is my first Social Network I
joined in 2004, but I did not start being
active until 2007.
-
Allowed me to be featured in a
newsletter is the biggest difference;
Facebook and LinkedIn do not do that,
lol. I was featured here before as a
person of the week and created many
connections.
-
A lot of other similar social sites that
I joined later did not survive, they are
gone, AdlandPro is still here.
-
There is a lot of great information
available to us here when join, I
learned a lot about Internet marketing.
-
I met wonderful people created long
lasting friendships and business
relationships with.
I was informed about available home
opportunities and marketing strategies
that I can compare and choose from.
Celebrated a lot of Birthdays and
Accomplishments” which made people
special.
About Me: I am originally from Bulgaria (Eastern
Europe) and I've been in the United
States since 1993 and have been living
in Southern California since. I like to
travel, (have been to 20 countries so
far), meeting new people and exchanging
good ideas, spending time with family
and friends. I love reading books that
help me to continue growing and
learning. The Magic of Thinking Big, by David J.
Schwartz; Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill,
How to Win Friends and Influence
People, by Dale Carnegie, just to name
a few, and My latest favorite:
Appreciation Marketing by Tommy Wyatt
& Curtis Lewsey (highly recommended)
I have Bachelors’ Degree in Mechanical
and Electrical Engineering, graduated in
1992, but did not pursue working in the
field. The last 14 years I was employed
by a big automotive company, working in
sales but my dream was one day to work
for myself. Finally, after I tried a
couple of different “Work from Home
Businesses”, found the one I have
passion for and was able to quit my job
last year
What I do:
I am an Independent Marketing
Distributor for a follow up and
relationship building system, that sets
you apart from the competition. By using
this affordable tool it is proven you
will get more referrals than you are
getting now, get your clients to love
you more than they already do, get your
prospective clients to choose you over
and above the completion and dominate
your market. No matter what business you
are in, it is a system that you should
have in place to show appreciation and
gratitude to your customers who have
chosen to use you and your company over
others. It can be used from anywhere in
the World.
