Why are stores like Sam's Club and Costco so popular with consumers? There is a need that the small mom and pop and larger chain grocery stores cannot meet. The need is to afford consumers with a way to purchase products and goods in bulk at an affordable price. Consumers save time shopping for products they use often by opting to buy in bulk and not purchasing the items individually. Consumers save money when they buy in bulk because the cost is normally less per item when they buy in bulk versus purchasing their goods individually.
Buying in bulk is a no brainer for many consumers.
Online marketing is employing the concept of bulk shopping to online marketing and syndication. Cutting to the chase of syndication is simple with bulk upload. Here are a few sites that are using bulk upload to help businesses and solopreuners advertise their autos, real estate, and retail products with simplicity and style.
Photobucket
Photobucket is an internet site that allows you to upload photos, images, and videos and share (syndicate) them by email, IM (Instant Message), or by embedding them on a blog or website. Photobucket has convenient editing features that allow you to edit your images by resizing, adding text, and even adding stickers and frames. Creating digital scrapbooks of your photos is easy with photobucket's pre-designed templates.
If Photobucket's user platform was only able to upload one photo at a time all of the editing tools it has to offer might not seem convenient compared to the time it would take to upload all of the photos needed for a business to create a scrapbook of its' inventory. Thankfully this is isn't a problem because Photobucket has a bulk upload feature. In just a few clicks multiple photos and images can be uploaded to Photobucket. Whole files of images and photos can also be uploaded and stored on Photobucket.
The time savings using Photobucket's bulk upload features is huge and suddenly a big marketing project will seem feasible.
Google Documents
Google documents is a word editor, spreadsheet creator, document storage and collaboration tool all bundled into one easy web based application. Google Docs doesn't have a bulk uploader built into the system but it does have a way to upload documents in bulk. Go to the Page titled, "Upload a file" and there is a unique email address assigned for the account holder. The Google Docs Account holder can send an email to the unique email address assigned and attach the documents to upload into the Google Docs account. Each of the attached documents (spreadsheets and pdfs aren't able to be uploaded) will upload and appear as a separate HTML document in the user's Google Docs Account.
A second way to use bulk upload is to download the documents list uploader and drag and drop items into the "bin". Those documents will then appear in the user's Google Documents account. The documents list uploader is an application that was created by the Google Data API's Team.
Classified FlyerAds.com
ClassifiedFlyerAds.com is an online tool that allows service providers and small business retailers to promote a product or service across online classified advertising venues. Creating a flyer for one listing isn't so tough, but creating flyers for multiple products can be a full time job that would require a full time paid employee. Business owners looking for a cost effective way to advertise multiple products across multiple channels should only look at products that will do most of the heavy lifting for them.
ClassifiedFlyerAds.com enables business owners to create flyers for hundreds or even thousands of real estate listings, car listings, or retail products and then upload those multiple listings into their classifiedflyerads.com account. Once the listings are uploaded in bulk they are automatically implemented into full color templates that serve as online classified ads. The rest of the work is out of the business owner's hands as ClassifiedFlyerads.com takes the classified ads and syndicates them to top directories and feeds.
Ebay Store owners can also take advantage of bulk upload ads by providing their Ebay product listing feed to ClassifiedFlyerAds.com. ClassifiedFlyerAds will then syndicate the classified ads across the internet.
The online tools exist for business owners selling multiple products to advertise all of their wares in a cost effective and time savings savvy way. Cutting to the chase of syndication is simple with bulk upload.
ClassifiedFlyerAds.com, owned by parent company Go Smart Solutions, LLC, is a web service popular with employers, service providers, online merchants, real estate agents, and auto dealers. A user-friendly process allows members to create professional web flyers which are posted to a host of online directories and optimized for maximum search engine exposure. A cost-effective marketing solution, ClassifiedFlyerAds also offers many add-on benefits, such as premier directory placement and search engine optimization.

What do you think and what do you do ?
เคยนั่งงงๆ กับชีวิตไปพักใหญ่...
ทำไม..ชีวิตถึงจะเป็นไปตามที่ใจต้องการไม่ได้
ทำไม..จะต้องทำตามใจคนนั้นคนนี้
ทำไม..จะต้องตามกระแสสังคมอยู่ได้ทุกวี่วัน
ทำไม..จะต้องนำเอาค่านิยมของสังคมเหล่านั้นมาใส่ใจ
ทั้งที่ค่านิยมของคนส่วนใหญ่ก็ใช่จะถูกต้องดีงามเสมอไป
ยิ่งทุกวันนี้ถ้าติดตามข่าวคราวบ้านเมืองกันดู
เห็นได้ว่ามีการใช้กฎหมู่แทนการใช้กฎหมายกันบ่อยครั้ง
ถ้าเหล่านั้นเป็นไปในทางที่ถูกต้องดีงามแล้ว...
คงไม่น่าเป็นห่วงอะไร..?
จนเมื่อรู้สึกตัวจากความงงๆ..ก็ยิ่งงงหนักขึ้นไปอีก
เพราะมานั่งงงต่อว่า..(ตู)ตัดสินใจลาออกจากงานมาทำไมเนี่ย
แต่ก็นั่นแหละ...สนุกดีนะ...กำไรอยู่แล้วค่ะชีวิตนี้...
นั่งอ่านสแปมเมล์พวกนี้เล่นๆ...ก็ได้พบว่าเราได้อะไร..
คำศัพท์ค่ะ...ภาษาค่ะ..ไม่ค่อยจะรู้เรื่องหรอก..
ก็ทู้ซี้อ่านไป...
ดูเหมือนเป็นเมล์ที่ไร้ค่านะคะ
แต่อ่านแล้วมันก็มีคำที่กระตุ้นหัวใจได้ดีเหมือนกัน
ไม่รู้จะมีใครเชื่อรึเปล่า...แต่ลองอ่านดูสิ
อ่านทุกๆ อย่างที่ผ่านตาเข้ามา
แล้วคุณจะพบว่า...คุณได้อะไรมากกว่าที่คิด

Here's Lesson #1 of 'Power Up Your Email' Course!
"Power up Your Profits by Packing Your Email Marketing With More Punch."
Over the next few weeks (about a month), you'll be getting emails just like this! Each one will deliver an important tip that can drastically improve your sales and bottom-line!
So, let's start, shall we? Here's...
What the heck is an autoresponder?
An autoresponder is much like a fax-on-demand system, where you call a number or, in this case, email a specific email address, fill out a form on a website or do something, like buying something online and get an instant reply.
Internet marketing and online business people agree that email autoresponders are the greatest marketing tool ever invented.
Think about it.
People are more likely to send an email to autoresponder than to a real, say, sales department. The reason? People want information NOW! They don't want to wait nor ask for it.
But the reason why marketers love "smart" autoresponders specifically is because, when prospects request information, their inquiry gives you permission to follow up with them!
"Smart" or "intelligent" autoresponders go further than just a one-time reply, because they allow you to correspond with personalized follow-up messages after the initial reply...
Such as our GetResponse !
The beauty is that they can all be pre-written, pre-set and pre-programmed...
How to Boost Sales up to 400%!
If you don't have a professional, personalized, systematic and timely follow-up approach that hits your prospects with your message at least four to eight times, you're losing money!
The bottom-line is this: following up can increase your sales significantly. In fact, sending multiple follow-up messages can increase sales by 80% and as much as 400% or even more!
Before I reveal that secret to you, let me first explain to you why following up is so important from a marketing standpoint, and why GetResponse autoresponders specifically work so well.
Here's an excellent article written by my friend Michael Fortin, "The Success Doctor," who's a college teacher in marketing (reprinted by permission and edited for brevity).
Email is an important aspect of marketing online. But a single email is NEVER enough and in fact can be more costly down the road. Here's why...
Like standard advertising, it takes repetition in order to get people to first absorb the message, understand it and then ultimately take action.
Naturally, some people will immediately respond while others need to see the message more than once before they even think about responding.
The reason is that each individual has a specific buying behavior. For example, the marketplace is divided into several, graduated segments that are based on such behaviors.
Innovators (2.5%),
Early adopters (13.5%),
Early majority (34%),
Late majority (34%)
And laggards (16%).
Innovators are risk-takers and venturesome. They usually respond to new offers immediately and quickly, without giving them much thought.
Early adopters are impulsive, too, and respond to new ideas early taking action soon after the innovators do, albeit a little more carefully.
The bulk of the market consist of the "middle majority" (68%), consisting of the early and late majorities. It's the biggest "piece of the pie."
The first half, or early majority, typically respond to new ideas fairly quickly but are a little more cautious and conservative than early adopters.
The late majority, however, are more skeptical, careful and slow. They take their time, usually shop around and need to see offers more than a few times before giving them any consideration.
The final segment, or laggards, are the slowest to respond. They take action only after time has elapsed, usually once everyone else has done so.
So, what does it all mean to you?
Ultimately, the important thing to note here is that a marketer's goal is to effectively reach, persuade and incite the largest segment...
The middle majority (68% of your market).
But doing so is difficult to do with a mere, single mailing. Repeating your marketing message more than once is essential with this group.
Email marketing is much like blacksmithing. To mold the metal, you must hit the iron: 1)
Similarly, since the bulk of most sales occur in the follow-up process, you need to follow up in a timely, consistent and compelling manner.
Why a Next Generation Autoresponder?
At the beginning, I used to store my prospects' emails in a database and manually deliver regular mailings to them. That did the job but I was losing out on a much greater potential.
I wasted time and money doing all the follow-ups by hand, worked tirelessly to keep track of which prospect needed which message, and lost tons of sales when I stopped...
I was leaving money on the table!
So, I decided to create GetResponse, which is the next generation of smart autoresponders that quite literally revolutionized the way I conducted my online marketing.
It helped put my business completely on autopilot... I never had to lift a finger ever again. What a difference! My sales shot up, my free time blossomed and my profits exploded!
It took me a while before I understood the power of following up with my prospects. You, too, won't fully appreciate the benefits of using smart autoresponders in your business until you actually try them. I guarantee you'll be amazed!
Once you're up and running, and if you do it right, you'll start seeing the immense power of this tool almost immediately as it helps you convert up to 400% more prospects into sales!
