Do You Know How To Make A Capture Page FREE Using Blogger...?
Joseph Demasi
If I have learned anything over the last 5 years online it is this- YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BUILD YOUR OWN LIST!!!
You have heard it said before many times- "the money is in the list". I never really understood that until I started building my own list and communicating with my subscribers...
If you are promoting a capture page that has been given to you by your company or a list building service...You are building their list not yours...
One of the most important ingredients in list building is the Capture Page or Squeeze Page- it is meant to Capture a person's information, ie. email address and name... You can ask for many other bits of information if you want as well. This allows you to email to that person as often as you like without any cost (besides the monthly autoresponder cost).
I have put together a video tutorial on how you can use Blogger to build your very own capture pages for FREE! These will be unique since every person will put ther own touches on the page.

TAX INFORMATION - KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
Now that you have a home-based business, it’s time to take advantage of the TREMENDOUS tax advantages available to you! Nobody likes tax time, but owning a home-based business can literally save you thousands of dollars a year in taxes by allowing you to turn personal expenses into legitimate, allowable business deductions.
The more tax deductions your business can legitimately take, the lower its taxable profit will be. For example, if you earn $100,000 per year from your job and home-based business, combined, but have $15,000 in allowable business deductions, you would only pay taxes of your net income of $85,000. At 30% tax rate, that could save you $4,500 in federal taxes!
We recommend you talk to your accountant about allowable tax deductions, but here are some tax strategies to keep in mind:
Auto Expenses
You can either keep track of and deduct all your actual business-related expenses, or simply deduct 50.5 cents per mile from Jan. 1, 2008, to June 30, 2008, (up 2 cents from 2007). The rate is 58.5 cents for each mile driven during the rest of 2008. Keep track of mileage & how the vehicle is used.
Education/Training Expenses
Costs of training meetings, training programs and manuals, books, online training subscriptions, etc.Also deduct Legal and Professional Fees, (Fees you pay lawyers, tax professionals or consultants).
Business Entertaining
You may deduct 50% of the cost for entertaining existing or prospective customers, if it is either "directly related" to the business, and business is discussed, or "associated with" the business, and the entertainment takes place immediately before or after a business discussion. (Keep notes of the people involved and the business purpose.)
Travel
When you travel for business, you can deduct many expenses, including the cost of plane fare, costs of operating your car, rental cars, taxis, lodging, meals, shipping business materials, dry cleaning, telephone calls, faxes and tips. It's OK to combine business and pleasure as long as business is the primary purpose of the trip. If you take your family along, you can deduct only your expenses, just as if you had traveled alone.
Interest and carrying charges on credit cards and business loans are fully tax-deductible.
Computers and Software
You can now write off a whole computer system in the year that it was purchased if the total cost is less than $25,000, and if it is used exclusively for business purposes. (IRC Sec. 179) In most instances, software bought for business use must be depreciated over a 36-month period, unless you can demonstrate that it has a useful life of less than one year.
Charitable Contributions are deductible
Rules vary depending on whether you are an LLC, partnership, S corporation, or regular (C) corporation, the corporation can deduct the charitable contributions.
Advertising
All expenses involved in advertising or promoting your business are deductible, i.e. business cards, classified ads, yellow pages, brochures and flyers, etc. Also includes signs for home or car, event signage, extra websites, etc.
Household Expenses
This can be one of your most valuable deductions. To qualify, a percentage of your home must be used "exclusively and on a regular basis" for your business. (It doesn't have to be an entire room.) Hints: Have your address on your business cards and stationery, have a photo of you in your office, holding a newspaper to validate the date, and keep a log of what you're doing in your office.
Often Overlooked Expenses:
Business expenses related to your health & wellness business, like the make up kit, Air source, any team or church donations in your business name. Products you buy to let others sample, or share at social or business events with your business advertised.
If you own your home, you can depreciate a percentage of all acquisition costs of your house and home improvements over a period of 39 years. You can depreciate 100% of expenditures and improvement costs to your office space.
A percent of all household expenses, including property taxes, mortgage interest, homeowner's insurance, utilities, property maintenance, alarm systems, snow removal, grass cutting, etc.
Office furniture and equipment - Have you bought any desks, chairs, computers, files, lamps…Up to $20,000 in business furniture and equipment can be deducted in one year.
Homeowner's insurance, utilities and related expenses based on the percentage of their use in the home office.
Household maintenance - Repairs to your home office are fully deductible. Repairs to the whole house would be deducted on a percentage basis.
Snow removal and lawn maintenance, even a percentage of your landscaping.
Don't Miss These Miscellaneous Deductible Items:
Sales aids, i.e. audio and videotapes, CDs, DVDs, books, etc. related to your business.
Bank service charges - you can avoid these by getting a free checking account. 100 % deductions for hiring children or grand children - pay them up to $4500 per year. (They pay less %)
Business gifts - up to $25 purchased for customer or distributor - even if they're related to you.
Business-related magazines and books
Casual labor and tips
Casualty and theft losses
Coffee and beverage service
Office supplies - paper, toner, clips, tape, staples, etc.
Online computer services related to business - lead generation, IR HomeSites, etc.
Parking and meters
Photocopies - handouts, flyers, training materials, etc.
Postage - stamps or shipping on anything sent to partner or customer or prospect
Stationery - cards - even holiday cards to above
Seminars and trade show fees - monthly team dues, meeting charges or tickets for all events
Taxi, train, shuttle and bus fare
Telephone calls and phone cards when away from the business
We've been told a dog is a security system for your business - therefore deductible
The cost of at least the first order 100 % deductible, also the price of a started kit, whether it's $299 or the $39.95. A lot of people also write off the first time they buy anything because it's a demo. Others write off everything they buy personally because it's a vital part of their business.
NOTE: If there's a possibility you may sell your house, talk to your accountant about the tax ramifications. "Unless 100 % of your home qualifies as a principal residence for at least two of the five years preceding the sale, you'll have to pay capital gains tax on the business portion of your home."

The 7 Figure Marketing School Goes Public...
For the first time in Internet Marketing history, the 2 worlds have merged. The Mind and The Marketing have come together to help bridge the gap to $100k monthly. The fact is that over 95% of people online will fail and lose money, sometimes a lot of money. Only 2-3% of online marketers will ever make 6 figures online. In fact the top 2% will account for over 97% of the income generated online. That is a staggering figure considering that there are millions of people that look online for additional income...
Why the big difference, isn't it easy as 1-2-3 to earn millions online? If you actually believe that earning a significant income online will be easy, I have a bridge to sell you. This is not about the latest opportunity to come down the pike and it is definitely not about some outdated e-book that will teach you nothing. This is a bout truly educating yourself and getting yourself into the right mindset to succeed- NO MATTER WHAT BUSINESS YOU ARE IN!!!
Success doesn't just happen, people have taken steps to get to where they are. Are people really earning millions of dollars online? YES! Did it happen overnight? NO! Do you think Rachel Long, Michael Rassmussen, Mike G, Brad Callen, Mike Dillard - name any other successful marketer out there!, all just came about success by chance? If you speak with any of them and I have, you will learn that they struggled and some struggled for years before they acheived success.
The common thread between them is that they were willing to LEARN and EDUCATE themselves about what it takes to be successful online.
If you have read my other blog posts you will realize that this is the most important thing and I talk about it all the time. GET EDUCATED and you will never worry about money again!
I have been a part of the 7 Figure Marketing School for several months ever since its inception when it was private. Yes it was private since October of last year. The founder, Vick Strizheus, a very successful online marketer decided to make it available to anyone who wants to learn and educate themselves about marketing. I personally have spent thousands of dollars on education and what you get with the 7 Figure Marketing School is so far beyond the cost. Just imagine the following people doing live seminars: Dani Johnson, Bob Proctor, Dr Ellie Drake, Mark Victor Hansen, George Paiva, Jeremy Brown and many others...
Alone they command thousands of dollars for 1 speaking engagement. This school, yes I call it a school, has classes everyday- Mon-Fri and you can tap into the webinars daily or watch them recorded. Take a 7 day trial for only $5 and see for yourself.
If you are someone that does not feel they should have to pay for education, I say good luck to you. What you will continue to do is look for the easy way and wind up spending far more on education in the school of hard knocks.
"If you think education is expensive, it is a heck of a lot cheaper than ignorance"
You can work toward being in the top 2% or you can continue to struggle with the other 97%. At least with the training and eductaion you will be receiving, you will be on the right path!
