You know what the problem is with Internet marketers? They're too competitive. Everybody is out to conquer the world and bury his fellow marketer in the process. There's a better way. There is a saying that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Well, the same thing can be said about making friends with Internet marketers. Why would you want to? Keep reading. You'll discover how to do it and why you would want to.

They say there is strength in numbers. That saying is quite true. Some of my most profitable ventures involved working with others. I made one friend, about two years ago, who ended up selling 100 copies of one of my products in his first month. I made another friend who teamed with me to create a series of products that sold several hundred copies in a matter of days. Not too shabby. Point is, by making friends online, you increase your chances to make sales. Ah, but how do we go about this process?

One tactic that works wonders for me is to first decide who it is I want to make friends with. If you're first starting out, you probably don't know anybody, so you have a pretty large list to choose from. How large? Just take a look at all the successful marketers out there promoting their products and services.. There are certainly enough to go around. But how do you approach them? That's the key.

The approach I use is to email the person and offer my services. That's right. I tell him who I am, what my skills are and then offer to do something for him...no strings attached. Most marketers are totally taken by surprise by this offer as most people are looking to get something in return. You absolutely must make this clear in your offer that there are no strings, and then wait for a reply.

In most cases, especially if you just happen to catch somebody during a time where they really could use some help, you'll get a positive reply and the marketer you've contacted will fill you in on some items that he may need. If it fits your skills set, which you will of course make known in your email, you now have an opening to make good on the request.

After you've completed the project, whatever it was, you'll most likely get a thank you. In many cases, you will get a counter offer to do something for you. The marketer may ask if you have any products that he can promote. This is your chance to now get something in return without having asked for it.

This approach has worked for me for quite some time now. You might want to give it a shot yourself.

Making friends with marketers is one of the best ways to improve your own position in the world of Internet marketing.

To YOUR Success,

Securing a home wireless network is a two step process. The first step is to ensure network security by securing the wireless access point or router. All of this can normally be done through the web based software interface of the device, by typing in the default address of ?92.168.0.1?

The first thing that needs to be changed is administrator username and password. Many networks are hacked into, simply because nobody bothered changing the default values. This is the same as most VCRs still blinking 12:00 because no one changed the time. Once this is done, enable MAC address filtering, and add computers based on their MAC address. This option will allow only those specified computers to connect to the network, but will not however guarantee total security.

The network SSID defines a name for the network. The default value of this should be changed to an obscure and long string. This value should be written down in a safe place and entered into the machines that are allowed to connect. Disabling the broadcast of the network SSID also provides an extra layer of security as the network will not advertise itself to outsiders.

Encryption should also be enabled. The default encryption is normally weak and can be easily broken. Normally WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) is used for data encryption, however where available try and use WPA-PSK encryption. This method uses 256 bit encryption for transmitting data and the key also changes so provides a far more secure alternative to WEP.

Some routers have firewalls built in. Where available make sure that this option is enabled.

The second step of securing a home wireless network is securing each individuals PC. This can be done by installing a software firewall (this may not always be necessary if a hardware firewall is installed), antivirus software, anti-spam and pop-up blocking software. It is essential to keep this software up to date, as downloading the latest security updates for the operating system and web browser you are using.

You can manage your home network yourself if you have the time, or you can buy a home networking software that will monitor your network and alert you to any intruders or weak security measures for about $30. Whichever way you choose to do it make sure you secure your home wireless network.
