There is something that I have talked about on several occasions here on this site, as well as in the Doba newsletter. In fact, it was one of the very first things I talked about shortly after joining Doba a couple of years ago.
Even though I've discussed this before, it's always worth bringing up again.
I want you to ask yourself a question regarding your business. Are you unique? And what is unique about you or your business?
If somebody were to ask me that same question in regards to Doba, I would say that we offer access to more products and more suppliers than any other drop shipping service.
This unique thing about your business is what marketers refer to as your unique selling proposition, or USP (I covered this in part in the June 2004 issue of our newsletter, and referred to it as the unique selling point in the October 2004 issue).
Your unique selling proposal is how you separate yourself—in the eyes of your customers—from your competition. In essence, it's the reason you give your customers to buy from you rather than the competition.
So what is your unique selling proposition? If you haven't given it any thought before, what would you like it to be? If you said, "To have the absolute lowest price," you should do some more thinking. That is one of the worst USP's you could possibly have.
Having the lowest price simply means you make less money, and that cut in profit affects more than just your bottom line. It affects all aspects of your business, such as the inability to provide good customer support (because you can't afford it), develop new and innovative tools for your site, conduct usability tests, and so forth. Your business will begin to appear more and more like a fly-by-night store rather than a legitimate company that can instill trust in its customers.
There's no way around it. Running a business costs money. Running a business well costs even more money. Don't let your business go under trying to be the low price leader. Instead, find a unique selling proposition for your business and do that one thing better than anybody else, or better yet be the only person that actually does it!
Here's a personal example of a unique selling proposition I came up with when I ran a retail computer business. My USP was to offer home delivery and setup of newly purchased computers. Furthermore, I would offer on-site tech support.
I never did it because it simply cost too much. The solution was to charge for it. But I never did that because I didn't think that anybody would pay for it. In a world where every computer reseller offered free support over the phone, why would anybody be willing to pay for on-site support?
Well, have you ever heard of Geek Squad? The founders of Geek Squad had the same idea I had. The difference is they actually implemented their idea. Now they are running a successful and thriving business. And a big reason for their success is they found a unique selling proposition that would elevate them above the competition.
The lesson here: don't be afraid to be unique! Embrace your uniqueness and watch your business grow.
Read some great examples of companies that have successfully marketed their USP.

Monetizing Your Website With Adsense Is Profitable!
How do you maximize your site?
By earning some few dollars per click from displaying Adsense ads on it. Many are now realizing that good money is made from this source of revenue. Try the simple mathematical computation of multiplying those clicks for every page on your website and you get a summation of earnings equivalent to a monthly residual income with that little effort you have made.

How can you start making profits out of your website using Adsense?
1. Sign up for an Adsense account. It will only take a few minutes of your time.
2. When the site is accepted, you will be receiving a clip code to include in your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages or web sites that you want. The AdWords will start appearing immediately after.
3. You will be earning a few cents or some dollars per click when someone starts clicking on the AdWords displayed on any of your web pages. Trying to earn false revenues by repetitively clicking on your own ads is a no-no. This will result in a penalty or the possibility of your site being eliminated. The money you have already earned may be lost because of this.

2. Using white space around your ad. This can make your ad stand out from the rest of your page so visitors can spot them easily. There are also other choices of colors you can use, provided by search engines, which can harmonize the color of your ad with the web page color.
3. Test your ad placement. It is recommended to use the vertical format that runs down the side of the web page to get more positive results. You can also try both horizontal and vertical formats for a certain period of time to see which one will give you better results.
4. More content-based pages. Widen the theme of your website by creating pages that focus more on your keyword phrases. This will optimize the pages for the search engines. It can not only attract traffic but also make them more relevant for the AdWords to be displayed.

Unique Christian Programs and Organizations Worth the Look
Have you recently decided that you would like to volunteer your time or donate your money or even other goods? If you have, you will find that you have an unlimited number of opportunities. With that in mind, if you are devoted Christian, you may want to take the time to examine Christian programs and organizations that can use your assistance.
As previously stated, there a number of Christian programs and organizations that could use your assistance to help others in need. Whether you are looking to donate your time or money or other goods, you may want to see what type of programs or organizations are out there. If so, you will want to continue reading on. Below, a number of Christian organization and programs that are increasing in popularity are outlined. These are organizations and programs that you may want to consider volunteering your time and money to, especially on the local level
One of the many types of Christian programs that you may find asking for donations or volunteers are those of Christian weight loss programs. Christian weight loss programs are programs that often combine the teachings of Christianity with traditional weight loss methods, such as a good diet and exercise. Although there are a number of online Christian weight loss programs, you may find the most luck with those being offered on the local level. These programs are ones that are often considered non-profit organizations. You may be able to volunteer your services as trainer or a support team member. Old exercise equipment may also be needed, in terms of donations.
Another one of the many Christian programs that you may find in need of volunteers and donations are those of career advancement or placement programs. Many Christian programs have noticed a direct link between homelessness and family difficulties with unemployment. That is why many Christian organizations take steps to help the unemployed find jobs. When volunteering your services to these types of organizations, you may find yourself assisting those with preparing resumes, searching for jobs that they may be qualified for, as well as sharing important job interview tips. If you would rather donate, many organizations are in need of career clothing.
Another one of the many Christian organizations and programs that you may find seeking volunteers are those of Christian debt relief programs. In today’s society, a large number of Americans are finding themselves in debt and many need assistance to get out of that debt. Although many Christian debt relief programs focus their attention on internet users, you may find a number of opportunities to volunteer on the local level. In fact, if you find that debt is a problem in your own church congregation, you may want to work with officials to start a local Christian debt relief program.
The above mentioned Christian organizations and programs are just a few of the many that you may be able to offer your services to, whether you do so through volunteer work or donations. In addition to the above mentioned programs, which are often considered unique by many, you may find Christian organizations that have more traditional goals. These goals may involve helping the homeless find shelter, helping families in need put food on their table, or helping couples work through their marriage problems. In all honesty, whichever Christian organization or program you choose to donate your time or money to, you should be proud of your actions.
