Premium Business Listings and Power Pages These are advertisements you can sell to local businesses for
$1,000 to $2,500 or more per year. You collect the payments directly. Some
of our directors easily sell 1 to 3 of these in just one afternoon, creating
an income of $1,000.00 to $7,500 or more for half a days work. Since these are
annual you are building residual income.
There is a very easy form that allows you to enter the Premium Business Listings and Power Pages for your clients.
Once you have been paid, just type the information they want into the form and click the submit
button.
If you want to be more advanced you may use HTML in your listings to add
color, pictures, and tables. You may even add movies and sound to the
listings.
We have training in the forum and in our nightly meetings on how to do
these advanced techniques. Novice users can pick from over 500
fancy templates so you look like a HTML pro without any knowledge
of HTML or programming.
Local News Center
Your portal has a news center with local, national and world news.
The world news center is updated every day.
Our news center means your visitors will never need to go anywhere else for news again.
Not only can you get headlines about your town, you will see news from all over
the world and every topic.
If you want to review local, national, or
world wide sports we have it. If you want to read columnists, technology, business,
stocks, it is all here and even more!
Our news is pulled in from all the major news sources so you do not have to hunt
around at different websites to find today's top news!
In addition, all news is archived so if you missed a day just use the links at
the bottom of each news page to go back in time!
Our news center is just one reason that our portals have an average of 30 pages viewed
by every visitor.
As each day goes by more pages of news are archived. Every page of news has advertising
you can use for yourself or sell to clients, an ever expanding resource.
You can see what the world news center looks like by

Local Authors Center
Your Home Town Portal includes a very advanced program that lets unlimited amounts
of authors contribute content to your portal. Authors that are already established
or trying to get their first chance will want to add their articles so that they can
gain some local notoriety or start a new national career.
You have magnificent control features that allow you to let one of your authors
publish their own column with no need of your time to approve their articles,
or you can not let others publish until you pre approve.
Either way, you should soon have many authors contributing and that will create
even more traffic for your portal. Why? Because authors tell all their friends
to go read their articles. If any of your authors become popular, they will
gain regular readers and again add to the traffic of your portal.
In addition, the search engines just love the original content your authors will
be providing and will also reward you with floods of traffic.
Banner Advertising Management Program
On every page of your portal you can place unlimited amounts of banner
advertisements in 3 places, one at the top, one at the right, and one
at the bottom. You can use these spots for yourself or you can sell
them to advertisers. Your management program will rotate thru the
banner advertisements in any configuration you desire, giving equal
exposure to all banners or more to any you select.
If you choose to sell them to advertisers you can provide them with their
own login that shows them how many times their banner has been viewed
and clicked on. You can even allow them to start and stop their campaigns.
This banner management program is very advanced with many fantastic
features.
Warning: Not everyone may be able to learn how to use the
banner management system. Although it is considered quite easy to use
and comes with extensive documentation, some people may find they
cannot master the use of the system. However, we do provide Q&A
in our forum and our nightly meetings to help you understand it.
No Guarantee is provided that you will develop the skills to
use the banner management program.
Administration Control Panel
You are given a control panel that gives you tremendous and easy control
over Your Home Town Portal. Features include:
1. Review and manage articles submitted from authors.
2. Add sponsors to your portal.
3. Configure many features of your authors center.

Nightly Question, Answer, and Training Chat Sessions plus a Forum 24 Hours a Day.
I hold training sessions online every night at 10 PM EST. These are chat sessions, typing,
not voice or telephone. All portal directors are welcome but not required to attend. That
would make me your boss, which I am not.
Our directors pick up valuable information
from other directors and myself in these meetings. I log the meetings and post the
logs in our forum. In the forum you can read the logs at your leisure, and even
read back in time as far as you like.
Imagine the value of meeting with other directors around the world to
learn about how they have sold more listings and used our many techniques
for building their Home Town Portal business.
We have a private forum for portal directors available 24 hours a day. Here you
can interact with other directors and myself. Its a great tool to learn about
getting the best results from your portals.
You will have the only Home Town Portal for your town
Your Home Town Portal will be the only English language portal for your town in our network. It will be a part
of our world wide network as we explained above that will let you benefit from the traffic
and hard work from all the other portal directors world wide.
If any advertiser wants to place an ad in your town the only English language portal in
our network they will be able
to do that with is yours. If an author wants to publish their writings in your
town, yours is the only English language portal in our network they can use.
Other portal directors may have clients that want to place ads in your
portal also. You may choose to allow them "wholesale" prices to do this.
But they cannot do it without your permission.
As your portal becomes more popular and more advertisers want exposure
from your portal, you will develop a good residual income charging
annual fees since you are the only English language portal in our network for your town.
As long as you remain an active portal director no one else can get
an English language portal in your town within our network! You are king of the hill!

Sales is a numbers game! Pick Your Numbers!
Please note that some of our portal directors with experience in sales get 25% of
the business owners they give a presentation to purchase a premium listing. If you
are new to sales the industry standard is normally 10%. This in no way guarantees
you will have these percentages, but some of our directors report 25% closing ratio
once a business owner has been given a full presentation.
