Write these words down... Virtual Real Estate.

We are about to experience a major explosion during the next 5 years and it will all be centered around Virtual Real Estate -- which is the development of web sites.

There will be many millionaires created from Virtual Real Estate and several MEGA MILLIONAIRES. Mark my words...

Online Advertising has finally rebounded from the Dot Com Bust and it's only going to grow from here on out. The Internet is a fantastic direct marketing medium for generating targeted leads for any market or industry. And these leads (traffic) are only going to become more and more valuable.

There's never been a better time to develop content-rich web sites that can generate tons of traffic. With the popularity of Google's AdSense program (and Yahoo's which should be coming soon) Virtual Real Estate is BACK and poised for major growth.

I say it's "back" because VRE (as I like to call it) was once a fantastic opportunity during the Dot Com gold rush days. I know because it made me a fortune. My company at that time developed web sites for this very purpose -- to generate leads and traffic that could be SOLD.

But once the market crashed when the Dot Com Bubble burst that opportunity faded for awhile. Online ad rates crashed. A site that used to make $5,000/month from serving ads on it was lucky to be making $100/month within 90 days of the crash. It truly was pathetic.

But The "Good Ole" Days Are Coming Back. And They Are Here To Stay.

Well, that is if you're a smart marketer and know what you're doing.

I'll be writing more about "VRE" in the coming weeks and months. It's a very exciting opportunity.

I have dedicated an entire column in my new The Reese Report to discussing VRE every month. (And where money can be made.)

Check out this fantastic article for proof that VRE is a valuable trend waiting to happen.

THIS JUST IN...

This is the first real look at the very first issue of The Reese Report -- THE monthly source for the best in Internet business opportunities, Internet marketing techniques and strategies, and much more.

I have a few Charter Membership spots left, but they are going fast. Everything is going to press this Friday. After Friday it's too late to get this first issue (where I reveal some incredible stuff.)

If you're still "on the fence" you better hurry before you miss out. Visit the full information site here.

It's 2005. Wow. Here we are starting a brand new year. It's time to start a new year and a new chapter for your business.

Here are some things you should keep in mind in 2005:

1. If you are already successfully selling your own product, you must create new things to sell to those that have already purchased from you.

2. Make a list of all the tasks and things you do on a monthly basis. Make a note of all the ones that someone else could actually do for you. Start by paying someone to do the things that take up most of your time -- allowing you to use the most free time to make more money in your business (and more than pay for that person doing the work.)

3. If you have an ebook, create a higher priced physical version of your product.

4. Set aside time every month to create new content for your site(s). From blog entries to articles to special reports. These pieces of content will bring you more search engine and referral traffic, more target prospects, and ultimately, more sales. Content is king and it's also a magnet for more sales.

5. Work on improving your mini course or autoresponder series to provide the best possible content you can. If you sell an infoproduct, actually giveaway bits and pieces of your product in your free email series. If your content is good, more people will end up buying the actual product.

6. Spend more time away from your computer. Don't waste so much time caught up with the checking-email-looking-at-stats-reading-news cycle. It's a waste of your valuable time that you could be using to generate more income.

7. Setup at least one new web site per month. This site can just be a new content "funnel" to generate leads for your main site. Find a new "angle" or alternative group of keywords that relate to your target prospect.

8. Start using the PHONE to build relationships with others in your market.

9. Test some new advertising sources each month. Invest a little bit of money in a place you've never tried before. Finding new profitable sources of leads will grow your overall sales on a regular basis.

10. Set your goals for 2005 to be twice as much as you originally planned. So what if you only accomplish 50% of it. That's still the entire goal you originally had planned. :-)
