An Open Letter to Small Business Owners

Small business owners everywhere should know that Ron Paul is by far the best candidate for president that you are likely to see in your lifetime.

I’ve voted for over 30 years, but in all that time I have never had the opportunity to vote FOR a major-party candidate. I was always voting against someone, in a futile attempt to protect myself and my property. Eventually I realized that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil, and I had given up voting entirely for several elections.

Ron Paul’s candidacy has turned me from disgust and contempt of politicians and all things political to a political junkie who can’t stop reading or talking about the ideas, accomplishments, and courageous campaign of the greatest statesman of our time.

Ron Paul understands the vital role small businesses play in our national economy and civil society unlike any other politician. He is a genuine scholar who has studied and written about free-market economics for decades. He ran his own private medical practice for many years and delivered over 4,000 babies. He understands the day-to-day reality of running any small business and has first-hand knowledge of the destructive effects of federal government meddling in the free market.

Ron Paul’s proposals would revitalize the nation’s economy and particularly small businesses. Take a look at his Prescription for Prosperity, a comprehensive economic revitalization plan. The first item on the list, tax reform, should be enough to convince any small business owner.

Ron Paul wants to abolish the IRS, eliminate the income tax, and replace it with nothing. Everyone can understand the appeal of having more money, but small business owners will appreciate the enormous burden this lifts from their shoulders more than most. All small business owners serve as unpaid accountants for a federal tax code whose complexity and inconsistency grows without limit. Nearly all of us hire expensive accountants and/or tax attorneys to assist in the preparation of the massive amounts of paper, the collection and sorting of endless bits of information, receipts, and forms that are required by law. All of us risk fines and the threat of prison for any mistake.

Reviewing MaxBounty as an affiliate program choice

Maxbounty is a good company for certain people.

 Why?

-   You get paid giving away free stuff to your surfers.
-   You get paid when your surfers fill out surveys for companies.
-   You get to offer easy, high converting products like Vistaprint, who offers free business cards, Efax, who offers faxing over the internet, and you can even market companies that teach people to sell on E-bay, or even market on Google.
-    There are offers for every personality type, so you can target effectively based on your audience.
-    It’s 100 percent free to join, and you even get a sales rep who you can actually get a hold of, and is easy to access through email, messenger, or phone.    

This sales rep will look at your site, (at least mine did) and even recommend what they feel would be best based off their vast knowledge of what produces and what doesn’t.

How many internet programs can you join anymore, where you can have consistent and easy contact with a sales representative, that actually looks out for your needs?

Now, Maxbounty is not perfect.    I have complained openly in internet message boards about how I wish the “Free Stuff” model, would be a bit better.   

My complaint, was that when a surfer, on your site for example, clicks say, a link for free toothpaste from crest, the surfer has to go through a myriad of offers, just to get the free toothpaste from crest.       

If you want an example, and a free magazine, here is a banner offer, that I am using from MaxBounty, for Stuff magazine.  

If you complete the requirements, you will get the magazine.    Won’t cost you a dime.
But, you will have to go agree to some other offers to get the magazine.

I ended up talking with the owner of MaxBounty, JP Suave, about this issue through email.     He was very professional, and detailed why it has to work the way it does.

So, in the end, it’s a matter of perspective.    

The surfer would be wise to set up a 2nd email address.    Advertisers that give the free offers, like the Stuff magazine above, along with the other advertisers, that received the surfer’s email in the transacation, will most likely be sending a lot of new email to that surfer.

YET, the idea, is that the surfer gets the free item, with the hope, that the surfer will choose to do continued business with the company/companies that provided the offer.

(Otherwise, these companies would, most likely, rarely, if ever, give anything away for free)      

Is it a win/win situation?

Somewhat, yes.    The surfer gets the free item, and the advertisers get a new eye and ear to show and market their products and services to.    

The value is in the eyes of the beholder.   It is up to each surfer, that clicks the particular link, to determine how much value whatever is at the end of the offer has for them personally.    

You, as a webmaster, can get paid anywhere from .50 cents to 50 dollars for just placing links on your site.      So you can decide what ads you want your surfers to see, or you can place them randomly on your site, and let the surfers decide themselves.

It is best to use links that best mesh with your website’s content.

You have absolutely nothing to lose, as you can sign up for Maxbounty, FREE,  right now, and decide what programs and offers suit the needs of yourself, and your surfers, and decide if these programs are something that will benefit your surfers, and yourself.
