Free Apple Recipe E-Book - Happy Apple Autumn!
I love autumn with the colorful leaves and the abundance of fresh apples and pumpkins. I have wonderful childhood memories of picking apples and pumpkins with my dad and the aroma of my mom baking apple pies, cakes, and cookies. The warm scent of apples and cinnamon filled the house.
I put together an e-book of apple recipes called Happy Apple Autumn - Apple Recipes From My Kitchen to Yours. This apple recipe e-book is free to copy, download, save, and give away in its entirety. You'll find Happy Apple Autumn here www.everydaynecessities.com/apple-recipes-for-ebook.pdf
Enjoy!

Business Marketing Tip
Treate Your Leads Like Customers and Your Customers Like Friends
There is one marketing truth you must understand: People buy when they are ready to buy, not when you are ready to sell. So, just because your lead is not ready to buy today, doesn't mean they aren't important. After all, today's leads are tomorrow's customers, or next month's or next year's.Treating your leads like customers ensures they will come directly to you once they are ready to buy.

3 Reasons New Yorkers Live Longer
Watkins is a leader in natural products and the network marketing home based business industry. This year Watkins is celebrating 142 years of bringing natural gourmet food and ingredients, supplements and health remedies, natural plant-based personal care and natural plant-based home care products to residents of the United States and Canada. Foods made with natural and organic ingredients taste better and contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
3 Reasons New Yorkers Live Longer
In 2007, the New York City Department of Health released some surprising news: a New Yorker born in 2004 can expect to live 78.6 years, nine months longer than the average American. Add to this that the life expectancy of New Yorkers is lengthening faster than that of other Americans, and it's worth taking a look at some reasons why:
- Less Smoking. The city's wide-ranging smoking ban of 2003 is estimated to have decreased deaths attributable to smoking by 10 percent.
- Healthier food options. New York (like other large cities) attracts a critical mass of people who demand fresh, organic or otherwise superior food choices.
- Walking. Perhaps most importantly, New Yorkers walk far more than do most suburban Americans, or even residents of other large cities (perhaps due to the fact that New York's high-density urban amenities make walking uniquely viable for shopping, commuting, and other daily tasks). They also tend to walk faster.
The good news is you don't have to move to New York to avail yourself of these advantages. Anyone, anywhere, can decide to stop smoking, walk more and seek out healthy foods (the number of farmers' markets has doubled in the last decade, making fresh produce more available everywhere).

Generating Leads Online
I found this article at Riley and Coltd Forum. Any business person building a network marketing home based business with immediate and residual income needs customer and prospect leads. This article explains ways to generate leads by using online sources. All involve interaction and networking with people to develop relationships. People get to know and trust you. Some of these lead sources require your time but are completely free. Read this very informative article.
Generate Leads Online - 5 Ways to Do It
By Mark John O Reardon
Leads or potential customers are one of the most important resources of any business. It is important to remember that leads are not only potential new customers, existing customers are also to be considered leads and they are our most valuable leads because we may already have built a relationship with them. A customer who has already bought from you is much more likely to buy again than a new potential customer. The Internet makes the job of lead generation much easier than it once was. In the past sales teams relied on word of mouth referral and long painstaking research which led to cold calling and generally low conversion rates because of the difficulty in targeting the correct type of leads for a particular product or service. The reason for this is because profiling potential customers was limited in the information it could provide. Here are five ways to market your business online and generate a constant stream of new leads while qualifying them as targeted and building a relationship with them before you ever meet them. 1. Social media Interaction Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, to mention a few allow you to set up a profile for yourself or your business or group. The value of this is that everybody who is using social media has a profile which they set up with their account. Because they have added their preferences to their profile we know a lot about them and can target friends or subscribers according to their likelihood of being interested in your business niche. This is a powerful way of building an online presence and a brand which is laser targeted to your ideal customer. There are many ways of engaging with people and giving them value and the opportunity to get to know and trust you and your business. Build yourself as an authority by always giving value in the form of useful and interesting information relevant to your niche and not your business directly. Put links on your profiles which allow people to visit your blog or free gift (lead capture page) but don't pitch your business directly. You may notice that some big brands are now using social media but rarely will you see them pitch an offer because they are there to build relationships and their brand through social interaction with no overt intention other than having fun. 2. Blogging A blog is different from a website because a website shows what you do in terms of your product or service but it doesn't say much about you and usually it is not possible for your potential customer to connect with you directly. A blog is where you can romance your customer by giving them information and perspectives on the benefits of what you are offering. Using a blog we can accept feedback and gain insight into what customers want and expect in an informal and very informative way. Blogging is where we can really take relationships to the next level leading to visits to our official or sales site which have a much higher conversion rate. 3. Lead Capture Page Every website should have a lead capture page which is simply a page with a form where a potential customer can fill in their name and e mail address in return for more information or even better an incentive of some sort, like a free gift or service. The people who opt in on a lead capture page are highly likely to be qualified leads that will make a purchase when you take the time to build a relationship with them. You can also then market to them by means of email marketing. It is important to offer value upfront in any of these methods including e mail marketing. You might start off with giving useful information that people in your niche will be interested in and build up to offering your products or services on the backend. There are great software systems that make it possible to completely automate your lead capture page and all of the follow up communications. 4. Website design When someone visits your website you have 8 seconds to make an impression or they are gone. If a potential customer has taken the time to find you either by searching Google or by coming in through social media or your blog, you need to capture their attention immediately. Generally one of the most important things to have is a professional looking site with your logo and branding fully visible. It might sound obvious but most people are looking for contact details, so make sure they are immediately visible. You need to have clear information about what you do on the front page and especially the benefits a customer will get by doing business with you. A video is very useful and people respond well to seeing a physical and audio presence and also it holds people’s attention for longer. The Video shouldn't be more than 3 to 4 minutes long. Remember to have a lead capture box always above the fold and on every page if possible. 5. Ezine (online magazine) Articles and Forums Another way of becoming an authority is by writing about your niche. There are many ezines and directories online that cater for every niche and they accept articles on all of these niches. You can set up an account with any of these ezines usually free of charge. If you don't have the time or the writing talent there are many ways to create the content you require. There are professional article writers that you can find online and also there are sites where you can buy private label rights articles on every subject and niche. By posting articles to ezines online you are also creating back links to your website or blog which are ranked accordingly by Google. Because many of the popular ezines are considered authority sites by Google you will also get free Google traffic to your blog or website using this method. Join online forums in your niche where people are talking about the kinds of thing that your product or service can provides a solution. Post threads and comment on other peoples threads. You will include your web or blog addresses on your profile and on your posted comments. This is laser targeted both to your target audience and to getting information on their needs. You may say, I have a small business and I have enough to do already. How do I find the time to do all this? The fact is that you can outsource 100% of this work very effectively.
