Club Asteria’s main goal is to help members improve their lives by growing their business by offering programs, resources and services.

Now that we’ve established ourselves as an organization with more than 100,000 members – Club Asteria has made bold steps into a new area of products with the Club Asteria Tablet.

If you’ve signed in recently, you’ll be familiar with the Club Asteria Tablet, and if you haven’t, here’s your chance to get up to speed.

The tablet is the result of our work with a variety of software developers and manufacturers in several countries. The main goal was to create a tablet that functions as a sales and marketing tool for our members.

The purpose of the tablet, which will come preloaded with a variety of business-purposed applications and software, is to allow our members to access their accounts and businesses online while on the go.

The size of the tablet makes it easy to carry, and the screen allows it to be used as a presentation tool, or makes it easy to work on documents, spreadsheets and presentations!

“This tablet computer is a game changer,” says Martin Kupper, Director of Business Development for Club Asteria. “It has been built with Club Asteria members in mind and is geared towards helping them build their business and achieve financial results.”

Since this is an entirely new area for Club Asteria, we’ve decided that the first rollout of these tablets will be a limited affair, so for a short period of time, pre-reservations are limited to a group of Network Directors.

The next group eligible for the tablet will be the Gold Level members, and it’s extremely important for those members to reserve their tablet as soon as possible!

The tablet will soon be available to the entire Club Asteria membership, and it can function as a business tool, or you can resell it to your customers. You’ll be able to offer your clients a functioning computer tablet!

The Club Asteria Tablet is almost here – and it’s going to help whoever owns it a chance to change the game – read below to see what former CEO of Sol Production, Keshav Kaul, has to say.

“This tablet computer opens up a world of business opportunities that didn’t exist before: from the best business tools, apps and courses to portable, on-demand access to your content regardless of whether you are at home, at the movies or traveling. From business growth to personal entertainment, this tablet computer does it all.”

Think for one second – what would you do if you didn’t have a website?

You’d own a storefront business and interact with customers during your business hours. When the day was over, if a customer wanted to get in touch with you – or purchase your product or service – they would have to wait until the next day.

That’s not the case with a website! Thanks to the Internet we all can be open for business around the clock, during holidays and traditional days off. But remember, your site has to be easy to navigate for customers to purchase products or services.

With that idea in mind, it’s a good exercise to examine the pages of your site to be sure that they’re functioning the correct way.

Each page is like an actual store: there’s the door, the windows, the counter and the items on display. Think about a store you recently visited, if the window was bare or the shelves dusty and dirty, you’d leave as quickly as you could!

The checklist below is meant to help you review your site and make sure that it’s functioning as it should – it’s a good idea to do this a few times a year, especially if you’ve made changes.

Home Page

• Clutter free and easy to see the main message
• Bright colors, but not too busy
• Contact information big and bold
• Content makes sense and contains no spelling errors

About Page

• Tells the story about the business
• Gives the visitor a sense of comfort and belief
• Contains your thoughts on why you’re in business
• Closes with a positive idea and contact information

Products/Services Page

• Pictures of your products or services are clear and bright
• Descriptions of products are concise and informative
• Return policies and customer service policies are clearly stated

Contact Page

• All phone numbers are correct and directions for dialing are posted
• Email links are correct and work
• Address is listed correctly, along with map location
• Forms load correctly on the page

Reviewing your site with these points in mind ensure that each customer experience is rewarding and allows them to purchase your product or service whenever they choose!

If you’ve had the time recently to take a look through Empower Now, you probably saw an article about the 12 Steps of Club Asteria. (Haven’t read the article? Well there’s no time like the present!)

So what exactly are the 12 Steps?

Basically they’re designed for our members to teach them how to use the many resources that are available through Club Asteria. We realize that there are literally hundreds of choices to choose from, and figuring out the right combination increases the amount of money you’ll make, and maximize the use of your time.

Like many things in life, the level of your success with the 12 Steps depends upon the amount of time, work and dedication you’re willing to invest. Currently, we recommend a minimum of 90 minutes a day, the more time you commit, the faster the success will happen.

Ninety minutes might seem like a lot of time to invest, but our studies with test groups have shown that people who commit only this amount of time earn at least $40 in 30 days – and that’s just a minimum! As your time commitment increases, and you become familiar with the material, these numbers rapidly increase.

The 12 Steps were created so that they could be easily communicated, and taken in, by members who were pressed for time.

That’s why we decided to deliver them in a series of emails over the course of 30 days. Thanks to today’s smart phones, you can easily review the material and not have to be tied down to a desktop or laptop.

So are you ready to take the first step? All you have to do is visit this page, and fill in the information. Once you’ve completed that, the first 5 steps are preparation steps and are delivered daily for the first 5 days.

The next 7 steps will be spaced out giving you time to use the knowledge you’ve learned in the previous steps. Many studies have shown that it takes 30 days of daily commitment to something in order to create a habit.

The 12 Steps to success will help you develop habits that will give you the ability to compete and earn income for the rest of your life.

So what are you waiting for?

It’s time to get 12 Stepping!

The Internet has made conducting business much easier for everyone, and it’s presented challenges that many of us didn’t expect. Take search engine optimization, for instance.

Sure, the Internet can increase your business, open your world up to a brand new audience, but if your business can’t be found, how can you succeed?

That’s why search engine optimization is so important to an online business.

There are basically two categories for search engine optimization: paid and organic. A paid campaign, through a service such as Google AdWords, allows you to bid on certain keywords which you think will be the most popular. It’s also an expensive method – sometimes it costs more than what you make!

However, if you’re a Club Asteria member, you don’t have to rely on Google AdWords if you want to increase your search engine rankings. You can purchase Traffic Optimizer, which helps your Internet rankings immensely.

Another key product you can invest in is our Internet Marketing Secrets, which contains a variety of strategies and tactics developed for Club Asteria. This collection contains such selections as:

• South-East Asia Rising Internet Marketers

Discover the closely guarded money making secrets of 11 Southeast Asian marketers. Use them for your own, mix and match the plans, it’s your choice!

• Leverage on Resell Rights

Discover how you can increase your eBook upsells, your own expert status, your own quality leads, and residual income explosively just by leveraging on resell rights!

• Tried & Tested Marketing Strategies

I’m about to finally answer once and for all 15 of the biggest questions in online marketing and remove the barriers holding you back from achieving the business you desire!

• Resell Rights Profits

Instantly start your own highly profitable online business with the power of resell right, and start selling high priced products that bring in huge profits every single time!

In addition to these methods and techniques from Club Asteria, you can capitalize on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter – both of which allow you to build an online following, and increase your search engine rankings (Keep an eye out for future blog entries about how to best use these social media sites!)

One other smart way to increase your page views is to write a blog that uses several of your keywords. This method takes time, but it can be an excellent method when paired with one of the strategies mentioned above.

If you’re not a Club Asteria member, and you’d like to take advantage of the tools and resources offered by Club Asteria, you can join today for FREE!

If you haven’t checked out the Club Asteria Pro website, what are you waiting for? It’s full of resources and products that are designed to take your business to the next level – which also means increasing your profits and growth potential.

When you sign in to the website, you’ll see the products grouped in the following categories:

• Ad Submission Services
• Banner Advertising Services
• Email Marketing Services
• FREE For Gold Members
• Leads And B2B Databases
• Marketing Design
• Social Media Marketing

A look through each page will give you an array of products and services that are designed to increase traffic to your site, help you advertise your business across the Internet, and much more.

For example, let’s take a look at the Ad Submission Services page. There are currently two choices:

• 10K Log In Ads
• Start Page Advertising

The 10K Log In Ads works to serve up ads to members who are returning to your site, and allows you to target them with a variety of different messages. It’s the perfect way to grab your customer’s attention right before they access your site. Use it to advertise upcoming specials, discounts or new opportunities!

The Start Page Advertising software works to place your company’s ad on one of the first three pages of the five most visited traffic exchanges online on each particular day.

Besides bringing in traffic to your page, the increased interest will push your page rankings higher – resulting in new customers discovering your business.

As you can see by this quick sample, the products and services on the Club Asteria Pro website are real winners – and when you combine them with the How to Earn Income page and the Training Videos, the result is increased profits.

We’re happy to provide these services and products at discounts to our members, and if you’re a Gold Member, you’ll save even more money. Think of your monthly dues fees as small-time investments that pay off on an almost daily basis!

If you’re a business owner, you know that the year is usually divided into four quarters, and now that August is over, there is only one full quarter left in 2011!

That’s hard to believe, since it seems that only yesterday we were wishing everyone Happy New Year and embarking on a journey that would take all of us into new and exciting stages in our lives.

Hopefully, you’ve experienced positive growth in your business this year, and used the many resources, products and services that Club Asteria has made available to you over the months.

Now that the final quarter is less than 30 days away, it’s time to take a look at these three months and get a plan together for taking advantage of the busy holiday selling season, and ending 2011 on a high note!

First, remember that even though it’s warm outside, December will be here soon with all of its festive celebrations. Have you checked your stock and orders from last year to see how you compare to this year? You don’t want to get caught with too many orders and not enough products.

You should also think about the months leading up to December and how to best communicate to your audience and loyal customers.

Are you going to run pre-holiday sales to get the idea planted in their heads?

What about a special 90-day event that creates interest each week heading up to the last month?

Now is also an excellent time to look at your marketing and advertising budget to see what’s left. Depending upon how you’ve planned, you may want to spend less in September so you can dedicate more dollars to buying ads and marketing in late October into November.

On the same note, have you identified any other merchants or business owners near you who would make strong cross-marketing partners?

Sometimes, by partnering with other retailers, you can purchase advertising space cheaper than when you’re doing it alone.

Finally, you should review your current business model and then take a look at the products and services Club Asteria offers. There might be some new software packages, instructional videos or blog posts that could help you position your business for maximum growth.

Prepare for the fourth quarter today, and tomorrow you’ll be watching as your sales and profits increase!

Have you ever heard the saying, “You don’t have a second chance to make a first impression”?

When you apply this to the Internet and online businesses, it couldn’t make more sense. There are so many options available that if a client doesn’t immediately feel drawn in and compelled to purchase, there are plenty of other options to choose from.

When you’re running an online business you have to remember that appearance counts, so make sure your first impression is the best!

Let’s take a look at your digital storefront. In many cases it’s going to be the landing page that shows up after a search engine query. Studies say there’s about 8 seconds you have before the choice is made!

Review your landing page and see if it meets these criteria:

1. Two to three attractive, bold colors
2. Headlines and body copy are easy to read, not too big or too small
3. Graphics are professional and appealing
4. Design is clean and interesting
5. User knows where to make the next logical step

If your website didn’t meet all of these points, it’s wise to go back and make the necessary changes. Remember, the competition is only a click away! If you’re unsure of how to make the changes, hire a web site designer who can show you how to get the page displaying correctly.

Remember to pay attention to the content on the page. Is the writing clear and concise, but informative? Does it urge the reader to take action? Remember, good copy takes advantage of strong, action-oriented verbs.

If you’re going to rely on keyword sensitive copy, note that keywords must be used correctly or your visitors won’t be able to understand the site’s content. Another key point is to use a font that is easy to read – stay away from fancy fonts!

You don’t want to miss the chance for customer feedback. This rule also applies to any forms or other areas on the site that require a user input information. Capturing this information allows you to build a database of customers that you market to directly.

Finally, before you publish your site don’t forget to check any hotlinks that you might have on the page. If you put an email link or page link on your contact page, it’s vital that it works.

Your website is the first contact a client will have with your business, so make sure it’s as appealing as possible – that first impression has to be the very best!
