The Eye of the Storm
by Diane Hughes © 2002

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

 
I've been publishing a newsletter for over 3 years and I've
been actively marketing and running an online business for almost
5 ... needless to say, I've seen a lot of trends come and go and
definitely know all about "lulls" and "surges."
 
I know all of us would like more surges and if you're like me,
you tend to get a little discouraged at first when you start to
feel the effects of the lulls. This is normal and although they
say you get used to it as time goes on, I have to say I still
get discouraged every year around this time, but I've since
learned how to deal with it a little more positively.
 
Since my slow season hits with a bang, I would quickly forget
how much I complained about having no time and being extremely
stressed during the surge. So now I try to think of it as the
"The Eye of the Storm" ... calm, quiet, but with the promise
of a surge to come.
 
Yes, it's true ... there are those "big gurus" who claim to
still surge no matter what time of year it is -- and I don't
doubt them -- but for people like you and me, it just doesn't
happen no matter how hard you try or how hard you work. I'll
admit that my lull isn't as slow as it used to be since my name
has gotten out there a bit, but it's STILL slower than any
other time of year.
 
When I first started experiencing this, I was "mad" with
ambition to get my business and traffic back to par. I wasn't
going to stand for the lull theory ... no way! I spent literally
thousands on marketing, TONS of time spitting out new products
and services, and basically worked myself to death ...
 
Did I get more business? Did I get more traffic? Well, yes but
not NEAR worth what I spent to get it! I ended up losing a lot
of money that year -- something I could have avoided if I would
just accept it and leave it be.
 
It definitely taught me a lesson. For the last few years, I've
just accepted it and I cease the flow of any marketing dollars
or time spent on launching new products or services. What do I
do with my time? I work on improving any existing products and
services and I "clean" up. I've found that it's the best time
to get things ready for the surge and the best time to take a
little time off and enjoy what my success has afforded me. I
do what all my potential but non-buying customers are doing ...
I spend time with my family and spend my money on Christmas
gifts and donations.
 
If you can't deal with that or you absolutely have to keep
making that surge money to make ends meet, find a niche product
or service that will do well around this time of year -- like
a cookbook, gift site, or similiar service.
 
I have some "big gurus" as subscribers and if you're one of
those that never has a slow season then I'll be honest, I'm
jealous! But for the majority of us, it's inevitable and
something we will probably never overcome.
 
So swallow the "jagged pill" and don't try to beat it. Remember
that it is NOT the end of the world or your business -- just the
"The Eye of the Storm". ENJOY it and use it as a time for rest,
relaxation, and getting your mind, body, and business ready for
the upcoming "chaos". :o)

2.)  A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
___________________

A warm welcome to all of our New Subscribers.
 

It is the first day of the New Year.  Which to many
people is a reason to make some changes in order
to improve their life.  That is basically what the new year
is all about...Changes.  It gives people a new incentive
to do things that they should have done over the past year,
and make this year a better one.  Doesn't always happen,
but the chance for a fresh start gives people a whole new outlook.
 
It is a crazy world.  We can make changes in our life at anytime.
If things are not working or we are not happy, we should just do
what we have to do to make it better.  However, for some odd reason
we wait until the new year.  We set new goals and new dreams and
do our best to reach them.  I wish we had this outlook the other 364
days of the year. 
 
With a new year comes a new Advertising Special for you.  As mentioned
in Monday's issue, we are starting the "Campaign Crunch" advertising
Packages.  These packages are designed to give you maximum exposure
during the 3 most crucial months of the year.  Also, they are enormously
discounted to help you achieve your goals of success. So without any
delay, please take a moment and visit our "Campaign Crunch" Site:

Until Next Time!

6.) HOT BIZ TIP
_____________________

Double Click Speed
  
If you're a little stiff in the finger joints, and sometimes find
that when you double click to open something it doesn't work, you
may need to decrease the speed that Windows interprets as your
'double click'. Let me explain ...
 
There is a designated time interval that Windows uses to
distinguish between two successive single clicks and a double
click.
 
Anything faster than the designated setting is deemed a double
click; anything slower is handled as two single clicks.
 
In other words, if you allow too long an interval between the
'double click' action, Windows assumes you've carried out two
single clicks.
 
You can change the time interval by visiting the Control Panel
and double clicking the Mouse icon. Things will be self-evident
when you get there...
 
Start,
Settings,
Control panel,
Mouse icon,
Adjust 'Double Click speed.
 
Mousing around can be fun sometimes:-)

Those techies sure are clever. Of course they don't always
make it clear how you use all their techie stuff. Which is just
as well, or The Newbie Club wouldn't exist:-)
