Alright gang, here’s the deal. . . The FTC is cracking down once again on websites that don’t have their legal ducks in a row. The solution is easier than you think! Reputable business owners like you, could get pinned by the FTC for missing key documents such as a privacy policy for websites.

You may not be aware of it, but your website may not have all the legal documentation it needs.

What happens if the FTC picks you? Well, not much more than shutting down your website, closing your merchant account, and freezing your bank accounts. If that isn’t going to impact your business, don’t bother reading on.

In all seriousness, the wrong legal documents attached to your website could cost you your business. When the internet was young, it used to be sort of a free for all, but now you need a proper privacy policy for websites and other documents.

It’s easy to protect yourself without paying an attorney thousands of dollars to draft the right documents.

You know I”m not one to strike fear into the hearts of business owners, but before I watched this video I had no clue that I was probably in violation. Well, the video gave me the solution and will give you the solution as well.

DISCOVER THE FACTS NOW… Watch now.

Here’s an example. This is a screen shot of a blog heat map for my company website www.integrityonlinemarketing.com. All the little blue dots are where people have clicked recently. You’ll see that nobody is clicking the “Request Quote” button but they are definitely clicking the “See Packages” one. They are looking at the “Our Picks” menu item but not “The Blog”. With this awesome information I can make critical revisions to my website to encourage visitors to click where I want them to click and increase sales.

Normally, for a service like this, you have to pay big bucks on a monthly basis and the data is limited to a certain number of pages. However, I stumbled across a diamond in the rough when I found this WordPress plugin, Click Heat Dynamo, that works indefinitely for as many sites as you’d like. In fact, I actually bought this plugin while they were still testing it. I saw the power of it and didn’t even think twice about putting my credit card on my desk and typing the numbers into the order form to get it.

I personally use this plugin and it’s definitely worth you checking out. To completely understand what this is all about, check out the videos on the website here.

On March 1st, only 100 charter members will be accepted to join my IOM Power Team. That’s right, only 100. What is the IOM Power Team? The IOM Power Team is a members-only online community where I share the trade secrets that I personally use to get to the top of Google, automate social media marketing, turn blogs and websites into money-making assets, and much, much more. How valuable is this information? Companies pay me thousands of dollars to personally do exactly what I will be showing you in the IOM Power Team through a series of video tutorials that anyone watch and do at home on a PC, laptop, or Mac.

Is the Power Team for everyone? No. If you aren’t serious about starting a business online or marketing your existing business, save your money for Happy Meals at McDonalds. However, if you are willing to make the time to follow the easy step-by-step instructions that I lay out for you in videos, join the IOM Power Team.

Where will you be November 5th, 6th, and 7th? I’m not a gambler but I’m going to be in Las Vegas!

Many of my personal coaching clients know that Armand Morin was the first internet marketer that got me hooked into the business. The man is brilliant and he’s putting on the very last “Big Seminar” internet marketing event ever! This is Big Seminar 14 and it’s the last one ever again!

It’s happening November 5th – 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It’s three FULL days of online marketing training that you simply cannot miss; and it’s in Las Vegas! I got my ticket. Yes, I’m flying from Hawaii to Vegas to attend this awesome event.

Now get this. Armand just cut the price of registration in half!!! Yep, since this is going to be the biggest and last Big Seminar ever, he wanted to make sure you could be there. What about all those who paid full price already? Armand already refunded half of their payment. This seminar is about you and growing your business. Period.

Tickets were originally $1997 and have been slashed to just $997!!! And you can bring a guest for an additional 50% off of that.

Hey, would I go if I personally didn’t know this was going to drastically grow my business? No way. I’d be enjoying the surf back home. But, on Nov. 5-7th, you know where I’ll be. . .Vegas.

After you get your tickets, let me know and we can be sure to meet up at the event.

Have you  ever found yourself in this situation?

You are driving the car, your kids are being loud, or you’re in a noisy environment and your phone rings with an strange phone number. . . and you instantly freeze staring at your phone debating whether you should answer it and run the risk of a potential client or customer being turned off by the noise in the background, or let it go your your personal unprofessional voicemail and risk losing the sale. You don’t know.

If you have a virtual phone number, either a toll free number or a local number, that forwards to your cell phone or home phone, with caller ID you’ll know that it’s a business call coming through so you can get to a quiet place and take the call. Or, you can let the caller go to a professional voicemail recording for your business.

How helpful is a virtual phone number?

I have like 5 of them. That said, eVoice is now giving away 6 month free trials. I have honestly never seen an opportunity like this. I’ve seen free 14 day trials, and free 30 day trials, but free 6 month trials? Never.

If you think this might be a good tool for your business click the banner below to get the offer.

It happens to everyone that unrolls an effective online marketing campaign. First, there’s the thrill of new business leads magically appearing in your email box. Then, those leads get lost among your other email, then your mental Rolodex of leads maxes out, and finally all leads mix together and your lead management turns into and endless game of 52 Card Pickup.

Ah, you remember 52 Card Pickup. I remember the first time I was taught how to play that game. I was about 8 years old and I was invited to play a card card came. “What’s it called?” I asked enthusiastically. “It’s called 52 Card Pickup,” was the reply. “How do you play?” I asked. And down went the entire deck of cards all over the floor waiting for us to pick them up.

If you feel like you’re constantly playing 52 Card Pickup with your leads, you need a lead nurturing software to keep all your leads under control in a tight deck.

As soon as the cards, I mean leads, start hitting the floor there are usually two reactions: 1) generate more leads to replace those that you know are falling by the wayside or 2) tighten up the deck and get a follow up system for lead management.

The best solution is to tighten up the deck and manage or nurture your leads effectively.

So, what do I personally use to manage my leads? Well, I’ve tried all kinds of solutions that I won’t go into here and the best solutions I’ve found is a software called Act! It’s fantastic. You can track your leads from the source, through the sales process, and into production. It will even track the money your leads are converting into.

Is it intuitive? Yes. I don’t have time to read instruction manuals, and I use the software just fine.

Can you take it for a FREE Act! Test Drive to try it out? Absolutely.

Now, I don’t own Act! or anything. I bought the software to use for my business, it solved my problem, and I recommend you check it out. Here’s where you can get FREE Act! 2010 test drive, no strings attached. Great company!

New income streams and sources of revenue to new and existing businesses are always on my mind. I am flattered when a good friend of mine, Mark Seery, franchise owner of  The Referral Institute, introduces me to others as a web designer, SEO, and online marketing specialist, then follows the introduction by saying something along the lines of, “But still waters run deep, and with Nate they run really deep.”

Do I have multiple streams of income? Yes. Am I willing to share what they are? Yes, for those who are interested.

Violations are not determined by the size of your company. And, when they contact you it’s not for a citation or for negotiations, it’s because you’ve already been tagged for the violation.

What’s the fine? I know of 3 businesses that were fined one for $25,000, another for $85,000, and a third for $100,000. And the last one was simply for not obtaining verifiable parental consent prior to collecting personal information from children.

What’s the solution? I personally use and recommend Len Thurmond’s Auto Web Law.

It’s a simple piece of software that you download and use right away. You simply choose the form you want, fill in the blanks and click “Get Document”.  Instantly, you have document you need for your website. Then you just cut and paste the text when you need it.

Here’s a screen shot of how it works:

For a closer look at Auto Web Law, click here.  They have 2 options:

1) Auto Web Law Pro – Has almost 70 documents. This is not a blanket legal forms software. This is for website owners and is being constantly updated as new laws regarding the internet come into effect.  (THIS IS THE ESSENTIAL PACKAGE)

2) Auto Web Law Pro + IPPP Intellectual Property Protection Plan – Includes legal forms to notify those who are stealing content from your website or digital books.  (THIS IS FOR ULTIMATE PROTECTION)

Both include Privacy Policies and Terms of Use forms.
Again this is exactly what I personally use to legally protect my websites.
