Notes From Leslie
Well it finally got me...the flu. Working at home allows me to work even when I'm under the weather; however this week, I was too sick to do much of anything but sleep and watch videos. While I like to rest, it felt very unproductive to lay around and not get something done. Today is my first full day back at it and hopefully I'll catch up on lost time. At the very least I'll get your newsletter out to you.

Work-At-Home Scam Prevention Week is coming March 17 - 23. I have posted a new site that details work-at-home scam prevention information. There's still a few pages that need to be completed, however I hope to have the site finished shortly. Take a preview at Work At Home Scam Prevention.
*****


How to Use WAHS Jobs and News: On occasion I get an email from someone who can't find the jobs posted in this newsletter, so I thought I'd give a quick overview on how to use the ezine.  In the section above this one, you'll find the contents of this week's ezine. Each feature now has a link so you can easily find the information you are looking for.  Each feature (Notes From Leslie, Tidbits, Jobs, etc) is separated by a color divider which the section contents indicated in the divider. For example, if you scroll down you'll find a blue divider that says, "Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration". Below that section you'll find a green divider that says "Work At Home Jobs".

I also want to point out that the only jobs (employment) listed in this ezine are listed in the Job section.  Any other work-at-home opportunities you come across will be affiliate programs, home businesses or work-at-home resources. So if you are hear solely for the jobs, you'll want to stick to the Work-At-Home Job feature.
*****

Quick note on ads... I just want to remind readers that Work-At-Home Success  does accept advertising. Every attempt is made to check ads to make sure they offer legitimate opportunities. I have refunded or refused ads in the past that were found to be suspect. The site also feeds ads from Google Adsense. I do try to screen ads run through this service and block the scams; however, new ads are added all the time and they rotate making it difficult to always find the duds. If you find an ad that is questionable, please email me so I can remove it ASAP. Also, while WAHS runs ads, that doesn't mean it endorses the product or service offered. To learn more about WAHS's policies, visit WAHS Disclaimer Statement or see special notes below.

The Home Worker Job Search Site

I received an email from the publisher of The HomeWorker a telecommuting job database website wanting to know how it could be included in the list of job resources at WAHS. I took an initial visit to the site and determined that I'd need to subscribe to the HomeWorker service to better assess the quality of the content.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by what I found especially for the $4.99 one month subscription. The site has hundreds of jobs in a variety of areas including virtual assistance, transcribing (medical, legal and general), customer service and even data entry. I think the list of data entry jobs was the biggest surprise of all.

The site appears to me manually managed in that it takes up to 24 hours to get access to the database once you subscribe. It offers three subscription levels: 1 month for $4.99, 2 months for $8.99, and 3 months for $12.99.

For the cost and the number and quality of jobs, the HomeWorker is good site to add to your list of job search resources. HOWEVER, like in all resources that offer LEGITIMATE jobs, you still need to have skills and experience to get a job. There are plent to choose from, but if you don't have experience using Excel or databases, you probably won't get a data entry job.

To learn more, visit the HomeWorker.

Marketing Tips
Note from Leslie: This article talks about testimonials in flyers; however the information can be used to solicit testimonials for other marketing materials as well.

Testimonials To Boost Sales

By Lynne Saarte

Testimonials, if you can get them, are one of the most effective boosters that you can add to your flyer printing project that actually work. It is a fact - proven and tested – that testimonials do improve sales and generate more leads than any other technique in your flyer printing campaign.

That is why they are often used by infomercials, tv ads, newspaper ads, brochure printing projects, catalog printing pieces, posters, and even marketing websites. They create an image of credibility and stability that is needed to encourage sales in your prospective clients.

But are all the testimonials we read real or not? Most would stake their lives that the testimonials in their flyer printing project are real. But believe me, most may not be genuine at all for the simple fact that testimonials are not that easy to get.

If you think about it, most unsolicited testimonials are rare and difficult to find. In fact, studies show that 95% of unsolicited testimonials are well solicited. Do you think that it is common for most people to go out of their way to let the manufacturers know when they’ve done something excellent for their clients? I don’t think so.

I’ll say it again – it’s not easy to get testimonials for your flyer printing project, more so unsolicited ones. The best way to do it is to include a survey within your flyer printing project to get ideas and reactions to your business. To do this, you can follow these techniques:

1 – Offer something in return.

In every survey participation, offer your prospective clients with an incentive or a special gift to encourage them to complete your survey form. If you don’t, more than likely that your survey form will be ignored, or worse, considered junk and thrown in the garbage bin. And remember: the better the incentive, the more encouraged your target clients will be to do what you want.

2 – Offer valuable information.

Valuable information is what gets your flyer printing project a keeper. Whenever you need a testimonial or a survey answered, you can always include the offer in your flyer printing project along with how to take your product survey.









3 – Make it easy for your target clients to complete your survey.

It doesn’t do you any good to provide your target clients with a survey form that looks like it’s meant for PhD holders or those who are in the high IQ club. Take your product survey and make it as simple as possible. If you don’t, you’ll most likely get your survey form pitched in the trash can.

4 – Create an “autoresponder” series in every product sale.

Whenever you make a sale, always include an autoresponder where you can test your buyer’s reaction to your product.

Think about it. Testimonials are a great way to boost confidence in your flyer printing project - if you can actually get them. Use some of these techniques to help you get the testimonials you need – not just fabricated ones but real testimonials to generate new leads and boost your return of investments.
