How To Put Your Bookmark On Top Every Time.
By Ron Hutton, Sat Dec 10th
Copyright 2005 Ron Hutton Do web surfers really bookmark websites anymore? A good friendand very successful marketer online recently said to me, "Ron,bookmarks are a complete waste of time." It was said somatter-of-factly, that we were off onto some other topic in thenext breathe. A little later, as I was returning to the Breakaway MarketingWorld Headquarter, this very brief conversation popped back intomy head and I asked myself... "Is he right?" "Are bookmarks acomplete waste of time?" I visualized the favorites list thatI've developed in my own browser's memory bank and I thought ifI lost that list, I'd have to reconstruct it and I utilize myfavorites folders constantly.
Bookmarks aren't a complete waste of time, especiallyconsidering that it only takes a couple minutes of your time toset up a bookmark link that will put your bookmark at the top ofthe favorites list every time. There's a little trick that I'll share with you that you'veprobably never seen before and you can download a text file withthe exact scripts to modify for your own use. We're going to shift gears from bookmarks to autoresponders fora second, and as you follow along you'll see the connection.Trust me. When I set up a new autoresponder series I always incorporatethe following copy into the first message. Here's what it mightlook like... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi New Autoresponder Subscriber, Welcome. Thank you. Congratulations. This is just super! If you’re receiving this message, it’s because you (or someonepretending to be you) successfully subscribed to my weeklyeZine, GoThrive Online. If you did not intentionally subscribe,you'll find "how to unsubscr!be" info at the end of this message. Before we do anything else, I want you to set up a new mailfolder in your
email client where you can safely store allincoming GoThrive Online ezine issues and messages. Whether youuse Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Express Plus, Calypso, orwhatever software, you can typically create a new mail folder byclicking file / new / folder. Name this new folder “! GoThrive Online Ezine !”. Just like that. “! GoThrive Online Ezine !”. Save all of the messages that you receive from me in thatfolder. This will save you the trouble of having to look veryfar for messages when you want to go back and reference a tool,service or article that we discuss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why the wierd looking folder name (! GoThrive Online Ezine !)? Ilearned this trick from Alex Mandossian. When you name a folderbeginning with "!" it will be listed first in alphabeticalorder. In fact, the "!" beats out every other special characterin this regard. So, by naming the folder "! GoThrive Online Ezine !", the emailclient (software program), which by default sorts all foldersalphabetically, will put my new folder above everyone else'sfolder. I'm now the first folder that my new subscriber seesevery time he or she opens the email client. Very cool. This same tactic can be used with website bookmarks! Let's go test three bookmark examples and you can download thescripts for your own use. Go here now: http://www.pluginprofittoolbox.com/standard-bookmark.html Are you back? Did you test this out? Great. Honestly, it's hard to predict what kind of mileage you'll getby implementing this little bookmark trick, but it surely can'thurt to be at the top of the favorites list for everyone whodoes bookmark your site.
