Something hysterical just happened on HoneymoonWishes.com

2009-10-19T17:12:00Z

When I first started using HoneymoonWishes.com on my website I figured I better know how it worked. So, I made up a couple (myself and a guy named Mack McAlister, who is the hero character in a novel that I have written and hope to publish one day soon) and created a fictional wedding and honeymoon. When someone wanted to see how HoneymoonWishes.com worked I would refer them to the entry.

Well, I just got a call from a friend (Anita) who said she'd just gotten a call from a mutual friend (Debbi) who was furious. Debbi had been ranting and raving about me getting married and not telling her. Anita was surprised too, because she hadn't heard anything about me getting married. Debbi told Anita that she had Googled my name and the reference to HoneymoonWishes.com had come up and she'd been shocked. Together they went to HoneymoonWishes.com and looked at my website. When Anita read the Our Story entry on the home page of my wedding website that said, "Phyllis and Mack met while Phyllis was writing her latest novel Saving The Crystal Skull and it was love at first write. Now we have decided to tie the knot," she immediately knew what I had done and she broke up laughing. It took a little while to calm Debbi down and make her understand that Mack was really only a character in my novel and she hadn't been left out of any plans.

Make sure to recommend HoneymoonWishes.com to your brides and grooms. They can get their honeymoons paid for. You'll find HoneymoonWishes.com under the Extras Tab on your Romance website.

Critical Tax Info for 2009

2009-10-18T14:15:00Z

This just in from Ron Mueller:

WARNING: IRS puts a “triple whammy” on home-business owners. Driven by Washington's massive spending spree, auditors are under more pressure than ever to “bring home the bacon” - and it's YOUR bacon! In the coming year, if you are a Schedule C filer (sole proprietor or LLC), your chances of being audited just doubled.

Whammy #2: And if they do audit you, they will try to prove that you are not running a “business with the intent to make a profit” (which would kill ALL of your home business tax deductions).

Whammy #3: They are going to take a careful look they will take at the deduction you took -- or didn't take -- for business use of your home (i.e., home office). The taxpayer's problem will NOT come from CLAIMING this deduction, but from NOT claiming it. You see, auditors are being taught that every legitimate business must be “based” somewhere. If you claim to be a home-BASED business but you don’t claim a home office, where is it BASED?

IF YOU WANT TO BULLET-PROOF your HBB deductions by doing this RIGHT, attend Ron’s Special Tele-Conference Briefing on Wednesday, October 21^st at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT. $19.95 but free to Mentors Club Members and to annual subscribers to “Mastering Tax Savings” series. ENROLL AT: www.homebusinesstaxsavings.com/mastering-tax-savings-audios

Ron always has great information and I know there will be other topics on this call. Don't miss it.

Isla Muertas Honeymoon

2009-10-16T18:36:00Z

This in from Toni with Perfect Day Weddings:

I am jealous. Ever since I saw your wedding planner presentation and learned I could actually swim with dophonis, I have always wanted to go to the island of Isla Muertaj across the bay from Cancun. Well, I just booked a Valentine's Day honeymoon for a couple there after showing them this YouTube video. It's called Dolphin Discovery Cancun 2008. They are going to get to do it before I do. They are also going to do that underground river expedition. Get this, they are staying at the La Amada - a terrace suite with plunge pool of their own and an ocean view - $400 a night. Well, it is there honeymoon. Keep on bookin.

Cabo Wedding and Great Review for Groople

2009-10-16T17:58:00Z

This just in from Nancy G. in Rancho Cucamonga, CA:

Congratulate me. With a referral from a friend of a friend, I just booked my first destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas for January. They chose the Fiesta Americana Grand and are so excited about a beach wedding. It was my first experience dealing with Groople and they were great. 5 stars. We needed six rooms because they are taking both sets of parents, their teenage kids, the best man and his wife and the maid of honor. I also got the airfare, 2 rental cars, international cell phones, travel insurance, deep sea fishing one day and kayaking another. I haven't got the flowers yet, but I will and I think I have talked the groom into Hawaiian shirts. Will be a nice commission on this one.

My name is getting out there and it looks like I will more than double what I made last year between June and next June. Thank you so much Phyllis.

Every bride will want one of these.

2009-10-15T23:01:00Z

I've never met a bride yet, even it they only weighed 100 pounds, that didn't think she needed to lose weight before her wedding. And, when she hears about the newest addition to the shopYTB line, she will have to put one of these in her budget. Make sure she gets one before she goes out to buy her wedding dress, because this little garment will slim her down up to 3 sizes right before her eyes.

Slim and shape instantly, no diets, exercise, or surgery. The one shown here is called the Cleopatra. It reduces fatty tissue in the hips, supports and flattens the stomach, and dramatically thins thighs.

These garments are designed by orthopedic surgeons and made with three layers of lightweight, thermogenic (powernet) fibers. Your appetite is curbed simply by wearing the garment, which should be worn a recommended 4-6 hours daily. Wear it under any type of clothing. Through the redistribution of adipose tissue, Body Slimwear actually slims your body to its ideal shape from the inside out.

There are a number of different styles and sizes. The retail price is $139 for most styles, but a Romance website owner gets 40% off ($99). And, Body Slimwear pays $25 in commissions. Here's a secret... if your clients buy from their own shopYTB portal, they will have to pay the $139, but if you let them buy from your site, they will get the 40% off. Your choice.

There's even a style for men, so the groom and groomsmen will not feel left out.

If you aren't a Wedding Planner Tutor client yet, you can still get your own shopYTB account by simply going to www.WeddingPlannerTutor.com and clicking on the shopYTB picture icon at the bottom of the home page.

Keep your clients as clients long after the wedding has come and gone.

Having been in the real estate industry for many years, I am familiar with how easy it is for someone to forget you are a realtor - out of sight, out of mind. I once had someone I considered a good friend list her home with a realtor down the street. When I found out, I was hurt and felt I needed to mention it to her. She replied, "Oh my gosh, I forgot you were a realtor. I'm so sorry." Well, it was too late then.

At A Bigger Piece Of The Action we want to help you keep your wedding couple, their family and all the friends you have made helping plan the wedding as clients for years to come. There is no reason this income stream has to dry up when it can be a substantial revenue source long after the wedding has come and gone. After all everyone travels at some time, whether it's on vacations, for business, or just renting a car when their own car is in the shop. And, if you have given your couple, their family and friends the "gift that keeps on giving," shopYTB, they will continue finding great deals on-line, getting "cash back" on every purchase, paying "no tax" on many purchases, and getting their items delivered FREE right to their door by the stores that offer this service. ShopYTB is a "virtual" Super Shopping Mall with over 700 stores, most of which you and your clients have already been shopping at for years - like Walmart, K-Mart, Target, Sam's Club, Kohl's, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Sears, Home Depot, Office Depot, eBay, Bass Pro, Cabelas, Best Buy, Restaurant.com, Petco, Babies-R-Us, Barnes & Noble and even Starbucks. Now everyone can shop on-line without the hassle of driving, parking and long check-out lines.

And, two professional "drip campaigns" already in place ensure your clients are reminded of great travel and merchandise deals (Deals and Steals) every couple of weeks. The Trip of a Lifetime Sweepstakes offers a FREE trip every month that will have clients coming back to your Romance site on a regular basis. The Trip of a Lifetime is different each month, and generally a great cruise or 4-day/3-night stay at a 4-star resort. Airline tickets are included from most major cities and sometimes even spending cash is included. With the click of their mouse, clients keep on registering month after month when they automatically receive their reminder email.

Other ideas for staying in touch and keeping the revenue coming in are available on www.ABiggerPieceOfTheAction.com.

Guarantee-Issue Health Insurance

2009-10-15T22:01:00Z

One of the great benefits of having your own Romance Website is the ability to secure Blue Cross/Blue Shield guarantee-issue health insurance for yourself and your family. You can get limited medical or major medical benefits. The limited medical is very affordable with no underwriting or pre-existing condition clauses. It is the perfect solution when cost or insurability are concerns. The major medical plan is for those interested in more comprehensive coverage. It is a very competitive, fully underwritten plan. More information can be obtained from The Wedding Planner Tutor at www.WeddingPlannerTutor.com.

This may not be traditional, but it's definitely the best.

2009-10-15T20:40:00Z
