1. Salutation: Thank You!

I am sorry I did not have a chance to publish the August issue of Keep it Real...Profitable. My daughter was home from school (I am a stay at home dad), and I had a very demanding month, in terms of my web design and search engine consulting work. Please understand these are my core businesses. Publishing Keep it Real...Profitable! ezine, is more of an act of faith and love. This is because, I always want to help people to develop themselves to become as financially independent as possible. In this regard, we will work to make up our August issue up to you, in our next couple of issues with some really good information on building your e business.

Problems for our AOL and Yahoo Subscribers

Plus the September issue has been severely delayed due to new server installations. I have had to install my mailing list on a new list server remotely because, ISP's no longer allow people to e mail more than 50 people at a time. The spammers are killing ezine marketing for legitimate opt-in marketers. AOL and Yahoo are making it almost impossible for anyone with an email based ezine to send it to subscribers. My AOL and Yahoo Subscribers may never get their copies. Something has to be done about this situation.

"565 New Subscribers"

We have had a robust growth rate to our e-zine with 565 new subscribers since our last issue. Thank you, to all our new subscribers for your confidence and trust. We will continue to make this a quality e-zine comparable to e-zines, e books, and subscribers sites that are subscription based. Our mission will be to help establish small and minority businesses as viable players in web commerce, one of the fastest growing industries in the history of the world.

"On Winning Two Golden Web Awards"

I appreciate the 2 Golden Web awards I received from International Association of Web Masters and Designers. , I wanted to thank them for bestowing the two prestigious Awards for my web design and marketing site
Ebiz by Design and the site I designed for my wife
Carols Art Shows. Hopefully these two will be the first two of many more to come. Maybe some day I will even win a Webby Award! I know it may seem silly but, its nice to get some recognition, for all the hard work and coding, at God forsaken times of the morning, that I do. I don't do razzle dazzle web design on this site, I keep it simple and try to get out valuable information. If you need attractive design that also scores well with the search engines contact me now

"Reach 70,000 Upscale Minority and
Black Business Persons Every Month!"

I am working on a deal, which will close soon, that will give small Internet businesses the opportunity to reach almost 70,000 upscale African Americans and minorities every week at a nominal marketing investment. This marketing opportunity will take advantage of the email subscribers and web site users of this site, TBWT, and other minority news organizations. Placing your business listing in this media opportunity can especially help online retailers expand their Holiday Sales! Stay tuned for this promising development or contact me now

"In Memorial to Gregory Hines,
James Davis, Aunt Dottie"

P.S. This issue is in honor of three departed ancestors, Gregory Hines, James Davis, City Councilmen of New York, and Aunt Dottie. I had a chance to meet Gregory Hines, as a fashion designer in my first business. He was a gracious and friendly celebrity. James Davis, I never met, but since I spent a good deal of my most memorable years in Bed Stuy and Downtown Brooklyn, I am aware of his courageous fight to stop the violence in those communities. Aunt Dottie, was one of those rare souls who made every one she came in contact feel special. They will all be missed. I believe that God has a better place prepared for these ancestors. Rest in Peace.

2. Feature: It's Your Time to
Thrive On-line Part 1

Why Black - Hispanic - Minority - Women and Small Business people should Embrace E business Now!

Don't believe the hype, became a musical anthem of the once controversial rap group Public Enemy. The point of the song was that people should not believe all the negative stereo types and demonization of young black and Hispanic or Latino urban males, by the major media. This same mantra can be applied or extended to the step child of traditional business -- the Internet economy. Contrary to popular belief the Internet Business economy is maturing, stabilizing, and growing quickly to become a major force in International Business. In point of fact, now would be the perfect time to stake your claim in on-line business as a Black entrepreneur, Hispanic business person, minority or women owned business.

"Soon Internet Sales will Reach 1.5 Trillion Dollars a
Year. This is Equivalent to 10% of the US Economy!"

More recently, Internet business has been characterized by the burn cash and crash dotcoms. Nevertheless, the more true picture of E commerce is the present 300 Billion dollars in Internet Sales. Soon Internet sales will reach 1.5 Trillion dollars a year. This is equivalent to 10% of the U.S. economy! Therefore, now is the time, to rise with the tide, and stake your claim in Internet business! Furthermore, demographic groups that have been traditionally considered outside of the technology loop have reached critical mass in Internet usage.

"Now is The Time!"

Hispanics have reached over 15 million Internet users with half of U.S. Hispanics presently on-line. African Americans have reached over 10 million users. Women presently comprise the majority of Internet users. Therefore, web sites and ezines that target these gender or ethnic markets have a large number of potential prospects. If you have been standing on the side lines wondering when, or if, you should make the plunge into e commerce. Now is the time!

"Consider Making the Jump to
E commerce Right Now!"

Why does the Internet E business hold so much promise for Black, Hispanic, Minority, and Women owned businesses? Over the next months we will examine the reasons that you should consider making the jump to e commerce right now. These will be the subsequent discussion of advantages: Part 1. Low start up costs; 2. Low promotional costs; Part 3. Pinpoint accuracy for targeting markets; Part 4. Low Cost Research and Business Measurement; Part 5. Maturity of Web Applications and Software; Conclusion.

2a. Introducing Kamau's Business Blog Page

"The 1st Business Blog for Black - Hispanic and Minority E business and Ecommerce"

In order to get you more timely news and business information, I am starting a new feature on the Einfonews site called Kamau's Business Blog. Blog is short for Web logs. Blogs are automated web publishing systems which helps me to build web pages from an email or web based interface. Blogs utilize an XML based publishing format called RSS. In starting my business blog back in July, this became the 1st business blog by a Black person for minority business. Therefore, Einfonews.com our main web site, is the first web site to publish an ezine and blog, to share effective tactics for building an e business and successful web marketing.

"If you want to get the 411 on the latest developments at Einfonews, and Keep it Real Profitable, read Kamau's Business Blog page"

Don't let all this techie jargon confuse you. All this means is that if you check out Kamau's Blog page every other day, I will be posting editorial, minority business news, and pending grants, loans, etc. This technology will give me the ability to post important info as it happens. In contrast, given my schedule, it might take me a week or two to display this information in the traditional web publishing format. So if you want to get the 411 on the latest developments at Einfonews, and Keep it Real Profitable ezine, read Kamau's Business Blog page on a regular basis. Plus Everyday I will be posting an e business tip of the day.

2c. New Features: New Web Pages Added to Our Minority Grant Pages

"We now have One of the

I recently have added 3 new minority business grant pages to our minority business grant section. The new additions are basically major corporations or foundations that give to causes for the public good. It am pretty sure that we now have one of the largest collections available online for free. I'll will keep looking for these sources. If someone is interested in having professional business plans developed, let me know, one of our subscribers may be able to point you in the right direction.

3. E biz Tips: Recognize Your "MWR"

" Your MWR is Central to the
Success of your Web Site"

After developing the marketing plan of your e business, and your unique selling proposition or point (USP covered in the last issue), you should recognize and develop your most wanted response (MWR). Your most wanted response or MWR is central to the success of your web site. This is because, you design your web site or e business around your MWR. The features and even navigation of your site is based on your MWR.

For example, if you have an informational site your MWR may be to fill out a form to receive more information. If this is the case you might want a form above the fold (on the computer screen before someone has to scroll). You would place the form on all of your web pages at very visible site locations. Popup or Popunder windows with cookies (code scripted into the web page to help with personalization), with subscription sales copy, will also have to be developed to convince site visitors to sign up on your form.

"Always use a Cookie with a
Popup or Popunder Window"

Just a footnote, make sure you always use a cookie with a popup (or popunder) window because site users dislike them to a large extent. Popunder windows annoy site visitors less because they are less intrusive. The cookie will insure that they only get the popup or popunder window once in a site session or visit. Pop up windows are usually smaller windows that popup when a visitors surfs to your site. Popunder windows also open, but they open under the page, that your visitor is surfing, and therefore, is usually less annoying to most people.

On the other hand, If you have an affiliate site (you refer your site traffic to a third party to sell products or services for a commission) your MWR is to get site visitors to click on an affiliate link. The main affiliate site then should be able to close the transaction with strong sales copy compelling your site visitors to buy. This is rarely the case, in that you will have to pre-sell the affiliate product effectively so, that the seller can close the deal. In reality you are really the pitchman, and the affiliate program owner is the closer.

"The MWR of an Affiliate Site"

Therefore the MWR of an Affiliate site is to make a strong recommendation to its site users to get them to visit the affiliate site pre-sold or at least with a strong interest in the affiliate product. According to Internet business experts Dr. Ken Evoy and Dr. Ralph Wilson AKA Dr. E biz, affiliate programs work best when affiliates provide quality content on their sites, build site users respect and trust, and only recommend quality products to their readers that they have used.

On a personal level I am a nonconformist type that doesn't like working for major corporations, direct sales companies, MLMs, or affiliate programs. However, there are some affiliate programs that are so excellent, and have helped me so much in my ebusiness development, I am compelled to advocate them to you and my other e-zine subscribers and web site visitors.

"An E commerce site's MWR is to motivate the
site visitor to buy its products or services."

Our final example of MWR is on an E commerce site. An E commerce site's MWR is to motivate the site visitor to buy its products or services. Dr. Ken Evoy in his e book Make My Site Sell!, goes so far as to give examples on how to create special navigation on your site to drive sales. He further suggests ways to keep site users focused on the buying process with little distractions from links to other content once they are on your shopping cart or sales copy pages. Since Evoy has made millions of dollars on the web with various products, some of them very difficult products to sell on-line, I would strongly advise you read his book Make My Site Sell!

Some of even his more subtle suggestions about the sales process and MWR on my sites have made a big difference in the success of my e businesses. It should also be noted that Evoy, makes the case for also having a backup response to compliment your MWR. We will tackle this subject in our next issue.

5. Suggested Sites:

Hispanics in Information Technology and Telecommunications (HITT) and
Blacks in Data Processing Assoc. (BDPA)

This months two sites to visit, are Hispanics in Technology and Telecommunications (HITT), and the Blacks in Data Processing Association.

HITT, is a supportive portal type of web site for Hispanics or persons of Latin descent working in the technology or telecommunications business. The Mission of Hispanics in Information Technology and Telecommunications is to put together a network of Hispanic technology and communications professionals who will be able to assist and engage each other whenever necessary. Imagine an organization of Hispanic communications professionals and buyers all across the globe, only a phone call away. With such a powerful organization on your side, there would be little, if anything, you could not accomplish. Click Here

A similar organization for African American is the Blacks in Data Procession Association (BDPA). BDPA is a global member focused organization that seeks to position you at the forefront of technology. BDPA endeavors to help its membership obtain excellence in their IT skills. This group has 40 membership centers, with over 3000 members, and works to close the digital divide in technology. To view the web site click here

6. Ebiz by Design: Color Theory

"Use Color to Paint Your
Web Site's Sales Message"

Color theory, to keep it simple and not too geeky, could be described as the study of the cultural symbolism ascribed to various colors. It is the study and discipline that graphic and more recently web designers, use to symbolize the identity and purposes of a web site. Certain colors have cultural symbolism and implication to persons in our society. Therefore, you can convey and imply certain images and messages about your web site, company, or brand with the chosen colors of your web site.

There are of course, other elements which convey your e business' corporate identity, image, brand and goodwill. Like your logo, promotional materials, or corporate communications, and even your sponsorships and charities, that your company engages in, also increases the overall perception of your company in the marketplace.

However, since most of your site visitors first impression will be their proverbial "lasting impression", it is important to get the most basic elements of your site's features correctly -- its colors.

"Don't get Creative with Your Linking Colors"

One of the most basic colors to get right are the standard accepted colors of the net: the link colors. Link colors are usually blue (for example 0000ff RGB color code), active link colors are usually red or maroon (CC0000 or 990000 respectively), and visited link colors are usually a washed out purple color. Since these colors are the standard default colors on-line, and your web site is a computer interface (and not an artists palette), don't get creative with these colors. Many usability experts (people who study how site visitors use the web), suggest this policy because, when people first learn to use the web they are taught to look for these link colors.

Two other color elements I would suggest you keep standard in most situations is your background color being white and your font colors being black. Black fonts and text on a white background offer the highest contrast and is easiest combination to use. This is considered Classic typography. This is why most large and successful e commerce sites feature white backgrounds and black text. When you do change the font and background colors, for creative license, just make sure the colors you choose contrast each other extremely well. But from an usability stand point, black text against a white back ground is the most beneficial because, it is the easiest to read.

Red or maroon are good contrasting colors for both black and white. This is why they are used as the colors for active links and headlines on many sites. It may help you, when picking contrasting colors, for backgrounds and font colors, to learn to use the color wheels. A color wheel will show you that yellow and gold are good contrasting colors for blue, and tan is a good contrasting color for brown. Do a search on Google to get examples of color wheels.

"Examining Western Color Norms and Symbolism"

Getting back to the more symbolic and implied power of your site's color theme, lets examine some western cultural color norms and representations. I will delimit my social commentary on the negative Manicheism influenced dualism endemic in some of these values.

=> White represents -- Purity, clean, brightness, good

=> Black represents -- mystery, soberness, formality, death, evil, and also elegance.

=> Brown -- natural, wholesome, earthy

=> Red -- passion, vibrant, sexy

=> Green -- life, health, wealth

=> Gray -- mature, conservative

=> Blue -- corporate, business, sad,

=> Yellow - intelligence, energy

"There are only 216 colors that are
consistent on both Macs and PC's show"

There are millions of variations of these colors, that most recent computer screens will show these days. However, there are only 216 colors that both MAC and PC's show across the board. These colors are called the web safe color palette. Try to create your web site within this color palette if at all possible. Colors outside of this web safe color palette can be will be replaced, with another color, or can be emulated by dithering. However, a dithered color will ad to your file size and downloading speed.

"If you have an International site research how
colors symbolize different things in different cultures."

This is why it is important to use common sense when choosing colors for your site. Pastel colors would be fine for a children's site but, erode the confidence of your site visitor's on a business site. Tan, Green, and brown would do fine on a environmental site or whole foods site but, be less well received on a techie site. Fiery Red would be great for a romance site but, yellow or gold accents on a grey background would be better for a consultants site like Dr. E Biz . In closing, it should be noted, colors imply different things in different cultures. Therefore, it you do business internationally research how colors symbolize different things in different cultures. Choose your colors wisely and paint the positive and accurate picture you want to convey about your e business.

 

7. Minority Business Stats

"Pinpoint Profit with Diversity"

The major three minorities in the US, Hispanics - Blacks - and Asians account for over 1 Trillion dollars in Income. Blacks are estimated to have 613 Billion dollars in Income in the US.

Hispanics are now the majority in California and are estimated to be the majority ethnic group in the US by 2010.

Bank of America is named top
National SBA minority lender

Bank of America announced that it has been ranked as the nation's No. 1 Small Business Administration (SBA) lender to minority groups. One-in-three SBA loans granted by the bank last fiscal year went to minority-owned businesses. The announcement follows Bank of America being named the top overall SBA lender in the country, with 3,917 loans granted in fiscal year
2002 (October 2001 through September 2002). Figures supplied by the SBA indicate that the bank directed 1,319 SBA 7(a) loans, and 28 percent of its total SBA loan dollars, to minority-owned businesses. Following are the SBA 7(a) loans to key minority groups made by Bank of America: Native American (52 Loans totaling $2.548 million ) African Americans ( 198 Loans totaling $4.240 million ) Hispanic ( 443 Loans totaling $26.149 million) , Asian (628 Loans totaling $36.315 million ). The average Bank of America SBA loan to minorities in fiscal year 2002 was $52,500. Info courtesy Unity First Newswire.

8. Your SEO: What is a Web Directory

"Listing your Web Site with Major Directories Should be the Spring Board of Your
Search Engine Promotion and Optimization"

In my goal of helping small and minority business people understand how to promote their businesses, I wanted to start with the basics of search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is important because, it is one of the best forms of Internet Promotion or Web marketing. This is because, unlike traditional advertising, search engine optimization can be free, and usually is met with less anxiety by Internet users. Advertising of any sought is understood, by many people, as attempting to sell us something down the line. Using a search engine to find information is actually seeking information that is wanted or needed. Therefore, when site users visit your site, from a key word submission in a search engine, they feel less defensive, because your site is something they find to help themselves.

At the very beginning of our road to creating search engine friendly web sites we should understand the difference between an Internet Directory like Yahoo and a Search Engine like Google. More Importantly we should understand the inseparable and now synergistic relationship between Internet directories and search engines. An Internet directory is an organized web site or portal, as they are some times called, listing web sites usually by categories. The Internet directory, in stark contrast to a search engine, accepts submissions for its web site listings, after review by human editors. In short, people called editors, look at the sites to be accepted in Internet directories.

While on the other hand, a search engine is a database of web sites, that are included and ranked by technologies like web spiders, bots, and ranking algorithms. Web spiders, from search engines, follow links on pages of web sites, and download pages to include in their databases. They download web pages, to Internet servers (which are just computers that send web pages to your personal computer when requested by your browser). Therefore, your ranking by a search engine is determined by the algorithm (process or method -- in this case for search engine ranking). Moreover, while you can attempt to master a search engines ranking algorithm to your advantage, this cannot be done with an Internet directory because humans view submissions to the directory.

"It is crucial that you get listed in the
notable Internet directories."

While the majority of Internet users find your site via the search engines, it is crucial that you get listed in the notable Internet directories. Why you ask? There are many distinct and important answers to this question. One of the ways search engines determine how valuable your web pages, and site are, has to do with how many other sites (especially sites in your industry) link to your site. This is known as link popularity. The reasoning to the search engine owners, is if other sites (please note in -- your industry) link to your site, your site must be a valuable authority site.

Moreover, It is important to note, the links to your site should be from other sites in your industry. Otherwise, the search engines may think your site is a link farm, which is considered a form of Search Engine SPAM. Search Engine SPAM, is the unwarranted manipulation of the search algorithm to inflate your site's results. This is one of the reasons why you should be developing a reciprocal link program with other sites in your industry.

Getting back to why Internet directories are important to your search engine ranking, is an important concept of search engine ranking called page rank. This builds on our earlier discussion of the concept of links to your site. This links indicate the value of your site to your industry. The search engines, in this regard, don't just look at how many links are linking to your site, but also the quality of the sites that link to you. If the sites linking to you have a high page rank (which indicates to the search engines that high quality sites are linking to your site), then they know that these high quality sites wouldn't be linking to you, unless you also have a high quality site.

In other words, the search engines give higher ranks to sites with links from other quality web sites. In this regard a reciprocal link isn't just a link. A link to your site from a web site with a high page rank may be more valuable than links from 10 low quality web sites. This is the crucial point to remember with getting listed with Internet Directories.

Search engines give much more weight to links to your site from Internet Directories, than any other link partner that you have linking to your site.

So getting listed in Internet Directories is very important to your search engine marketing and optimization strategies. In our next issue I will explain what Internet Directories are looking for, and how to get listed in them. If you are looking for personalized search engine optimization or advertising (including key word research, analysis of your competition, writing advertising sales copy-editing for pay-per-click search engine ad campaigns, etc.), please give me a call toll free at: 866-324-9669 or email me at: baustin@adpronline.com.

Revelation: Financial Freedom "Ain't" Free

As I mentioned in earlier issues, there has been the shocking loss of two major minority mega-sites sites: Netnoir, and The Black World Today. Both of these pioneering sites reached hundreds of thousands of site visitors a month. These sites also offered great content but, were under supported in terms of advertising from major corporations. Furthermore, they did not develop a loyal paying subscriber base which supported the e publications. This signals the end of the free content days of the Internet.

Meditation: Support the E Media You Love
