About Rakes

Jaci Rae asked:


It’s the holiday season and we are about to enter into a sellers market. How can you take advantage of this time and optimize your selling power to rake in sales? It’s all about influence and developing long-term relationships with your customers.

How do you influence someone to want to buy your product without being a pushy, obnoxious salesperson? By making it about the consumer and not about you. You may have heard that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. While that may be true in some cases, the squeaky wheel is also damaging their future relationship with that customer.

Consumers don’t like to be bullied. If you want to influence them, you must capture them with emotion. Here is an example (The following book and title are fictional. I made them up for this article. Any resemblance to another book or title is strictly coincidence.):

On The Edge is a great mystery novel filled with horror, who done it and suspense. This book is a great gift and stocking stuffer for those in your family who enjoy a good intrigue. Don’t miss the holiday sale special. Buy today and receive…

Here is the same type of ad, but personalized.

Do you or someone you know love suspense and intrigue? Do you miss reading the old time mystery thrillers? On The Edge will bring you back to the time when you couldn’t put a book down and would read it under the covers with a flashlight.

Do you see the difference? One ad, while perfectly acceptable, is just an ad that talks about the book. The next ad makes the book about the consumer and draws them into a more emotional state, which can have a powerful effect on their purchase.

It’s been proven that people buy more with emotion than logic. If you help your customer feel your product or service will benefit them and with it they will experience pleasure and success, you’ve hit a home run. The only way to do that is to make it about them and help them feel how it will benefit them.

Once you have done that, you must have a product or service that really delivers or you will lose the customer loyalty that will bring them back again as well as getting referrals.

Do you have a favorite store, brand, or restaurant? Think about why it is your favorite and what brings you back to it repeatedly even if you see a similar product, brand or restaurant that may cost less money. Once you have truly thought about what compels you to go back, use the same words and thoughts that come to your mind to help sell your product.

Another way to help influence a buyer is to have recommendations and endorsements for your product. People love to read how your product helped someone. This is called a social endorsement. How do you get a social endorsement?

Anytime someone shares a story about what you or your product has done for him or her, ask if you can use his or her information as a quote. Let them know you will put their website or company information up as a cross promotion.

The last two powerful ways to influence people and draw them to your product or service are to share your personal story and to ask questions. Sharing your story will explain on a realistic and emotional level why you are qualified to help them and what makes you an expert in your field.

Asking questions about your customer will show them you are interested in them, and it will help them see that you understand their needs. These two strategies will attract people to you and help promote customer loyalty.

The most important thing to remember is understanding your target customer and their needs. Offer them a service that says you understand where they are at and that you are there to help them.

I raked the dead grass out of my lawn yesterday, but there’s still a lot more. It looks like I could rake for hours and hours and never get it all. Should I worry? I really want my lawn to look better this year! Please help? (I don’t mind being talked to like a kid- I really don’t know what I’m doing and want to get it right)

If you are looking for a great online money making opportunity an article directory may be right for you. These directories can make you money in more ways than one which is why they can be so profitable. There are many details that go into starting an article directory, but if you become comfortable with them you can start to make a profit in no time at all.

When starting an article directory you will need to have a quality website that people can visit. Your article directory site needs to be well laid out and easy to navigate. If your visitors have to go through a lot of trouble to find what they are looking for they will simply go elsewhere. The easier you can make it on your visitors, the better chance you have of being very successful.

With an article directory you can make a lot of money with Google Adsense. If you opt for Adsense, Google will place ads on every page of your article directory that you want. And anytime that a member clicks on one of these ads you will get paid; it is that simple. So the more pages of content that you have on your site, the better chance there is that you will make a lot of money with just Adsense.

In addition, you can place banner ads on your pages as well. These can be put pretty much anyplace where there is a bit of space. As you begin to get more and more traffic at your site, the price that you can sell ad space for will begin to increase. If you can move into the top sector of the article directory industry you can sell ad space for a high premium. After all, other sites are always looking for a way to get their name out. And what better way than to advertise on a high traffic site that brings in a lot of different types of people.

If you are going to start an article directory keep in mind that there is a lot of competition out there. Not only are there several established article directory sites, but there are many that are up and coming. This is not to say that you should stay away though. The fact of the matter is that you can make big money if you stick with your plan.

An article directory is a great online business venture. They can be easy to get started, and when it comes to marketing and promotion they are not that difficult either. Imagine starting your own article directory and making big time cash each and every month. You can make this dream come true!

tatmomx11 asked:


I have a large yard and after the snow melted this year, I see there was quite a bit of vole damage. I have raked out this area to remove the dead grass so new grass can grow, but I am wondering what time of year (here in zone 4, MN) that I should power rake the yard to remove the thatch build up? I’ve heard that too soon can damage the new grass trying to grow, but too late will prevent the new grass from growing. Any ideas? Thanks!

UKOH asked:


I have a large yard and many trees. When the leaves fall the grass is covered by a six inch thick carpet. It is a tremendous effort each year clearing them. My neighbours laugh at me for doing this! I am not concerned about esthetics - I rake the leaves because I am concerned the grass will be destroyed otherwise. Who is right? Me or my neighbours?
