Also Ways To Boost Your Online Sales Tremendously!
Introduction
Digital Products and Programs have a way of when one is launched your inbox is full of offers from everyone. All for the same Product. Now I am sure the inventor of this Program is making a mint and some of the people promoting it with BIG Downlines are sucking in a few profits as well. But what are YOU getting out of it other than an inbox full of these offers that are all the same thing?
(My name is Laurie Brandt. I have been involved with the net for many years now. Started as a Web Designer, and somehow I got here where I am today. I hope to share a few words that will help you in your online endeavors).
Chapter 1: The 7 Tips!
Laurie
True, various people offer different bonuses but the bonuses most we already have and look out for those that look different that has been Re-Branded with the persons name…it is the same Program you most likely already have just packaged differently. They trade list with JV Partnering and then it appears you are getting spam as some do not tell it is from a List you are a member of. Things to be aware of so you are not “Suckered” into buying items YOU do not really need:
¨ Read Entire Contents of the Image Product Box To See If It Is A Re-Branded Version Of Something You Already Own.
¨ Many Offers Appear FREE, When You Sign Up There Is That Famous Package Of Program Bonuses Trying To Sell You Something Entirely Different From The FREE Product You Thought You Were Getting. This Is Becoming More And More Frequent.
¨ In These Situations Go Straight to Bottom of Offer, There Should Be A Dialogue Box “Say Bye To This Offer Forever” Click it And Get The Free Product You Were Offered. All Those Bonuses Are Free Anyway And I Will Include A Couple In Here And Tell You How To Get More, FREE!
¨ The “Thank You Page Ad” Watch These, Nifty For Sales But Not When You Do Not Want To Buy It! These Are Designed To Make You Purchase Something To Get The Free Product. Even If It Just To Get You Sign Up For Their Program So You Are Now On Their Mailing List.
¨ Read Everything In A Sales Offer…Once in Awhile You See A Good Product That Is Totally FREE! There Are Still A Few Out There With Ethics And No Need For Trickery to get sales Or Build There List.
¨ Ezines and Forums Will Give You a Wealth of Info on Who’s Who and Does What. Join a Few; I have A Few Suggestions on Some Good Ones.
¨ You Can Also Use these same Tricks to Boost Your Sales and Build That Chore of a Good List… I Have Other More Fair an Honest Tactics to Share with You. In Marketing Your Business Ethics Are Critical, Ask Yourself This…These New People Whom Most Of These
Tactics That Are From These Type Marketers…Where Will They Be In A Year Or Two? On Top? Gone? Or In the Same Place? Most Will Be Gone As This Can Ruin Marketers Credibility. A Few with Money will buy past it but learn a costly lesson on the way, And Few Will Just some how slip through. Majority Will Be Replaced by New Names.
Think Back To A Few Years Ago, And Similar Situations…Many Of The Names Have Changed And Are No Longer Slinging Free Products For Sell! Now let me clarify, everyone does NOT do this. These are the ones to watch and learn from. A Mentor is a MUST! A Good Guru That YOU like and like there style, study this person. Join THEIR Sites and SOAK UP all the information you can from them. You can learn a lot from this person. Do NOT Copy Them. You need to develop your own style…create your own LIST! It Is Imperative that YOU build your own list.
You have heard the saying; The Money’s In The List! Well it’s true and you must find an honest way to build one.
Chapter 2: Building YOUR List!
I am not even going to start with a lie and tell you it is easy, because it is not, but with the proper tools it is possible and will take time. Everyone in Marketing needs a Marketing Program! Now you have some that are members of several. But you really only need one good one that provided the tools (Software, Ebooks, Hosting, to get any Business you choose going) Most do, and prices vary. Some want a Thousand (or close to it too even higher) to more reasonable prices with the same Quality and in some cases better and more personal support. I myself prefer the owner to handle his own email, phone calls instead of the “HELP DESK” so many employ into their Program. Why do they do this? So they do not have to deal with YOU directly in the event something goes wrong. And of course they think it looks important.
It is far more personal and easier to trust someone you can talk too. For me it is easier to give that person my money and become a supportive member. These are now of course my Preferences. You can join whatever you like but…at least look at this option as it has everything a $1k Program has and in many ways more as you do not pay a bunch extra for each upgrade. The Major Upgrade gives you access to everything…only one site is extra and right now for a few more days even that’s free for life.
This is what I use for my Marketing. I have gotten TONS of Scripts (79) to Be Exact. Plus lots of super software (many with PLR that is Re-Brandable) some awesome Ebooks and these are products that not only can you sell but use them also. Some really great reading material. With everything you get from joining PY you literally have more than enough to build any Business Project you could be thinking about.
There is even a Nifty Program that you can give away to people to entice them to join your LIST and over 75% of my LIST was built on this one item. It is a Membership to UltimateFour.com (4 Great Marketing sites). This is 4 sister sites that you can give away as many as you like. Back in the day of Yesteryear, an Ebooks, or Software and even a good Marketing course or Report would pull them in. Not anymore, not even with 30 bonuses for free will do it.
You would be totally amazed at the way people will turn down a Great Program, Set of Ebooks etc. today. They want something that has something in it that BENEFITS Them. They DO NOT CARE how great your products are, they could less about you for that matter…they are interested in one thing only. What’s in it for them? How will they BENEFIT. Well with 4 Programs that any Marketer would be proud to own it makes it a little easier.
You can also make money 3 ways with the Ultimate License ($57) that you get for free, and can sell that and give away as many U4s as your heart desires. There other goodies that can help, but I have single handed ideas that through my Marketing Program I have learned also and will share that with you also. Capture/Landing pages with Autoresponder attached for easy sign up.
Now you can build these in any WYSIWYG editor. My Marketing Program provides one but I have built a few in FrontPage and had decent results. Track your results and all good Marketing Programs will provide you with one. We will talk more about Ad Trackers in a later chapter.
Back end affiliate Programs is a good way to get people to single Opt-In and if they want out a link is provided in the AR (Autoresponder). I suggest that you set your settings to Single Opt-Ins at all times, studies have shown that you get a better response rate this way. And for the record all good Marketing Programs will provide you with a good AR. We will discuss ARs also in a later Chapter. As time goes by and you learn more you will come up with ways that are legit, not sneaky to gets this complicated task working for you.
Chapter 3: Autoresponders & Ad Trackers
These Items are essential to all of YOUR Marketing Campaigns. Autoresponders are essential for your email Marketing Campaigns once your list has been built. I have given you some ideas and there are many Ebooks and E-Courses that will further help you with this. ARs are great to have and use but NEVER let them take over for YOU! You must make yourself available to your members as ARs cannot answer a personal question for you. Only you can do that so you need a Contact Email that goes directly to you on your site. Adding a phone # is also a good idea.
You can set up emails in a series to go out to your list, or an E-Course, your Newsletters/Ezines (will cover later more about that.) send out up to the minute details and specials you may be running and much more, They are nice tools however they are NOT you! We will get deeper into Email Campaigns in another chapter.
Track that Ad! You can split test your titles to see which is pulling better, with this and email marketing you test, test and test till you find the right ones and always be seeking new ones. Start paying attention to Sales Ads you see in Magazines, Newspapers, anywhere you see them for ideas.
Many great Text books can be gotten from Amazon.com and always get used (they are usually new, once in awhile one comes through with some marking or something in it…over 90% are left over’s that are actually Brand new) and you will be completely amazed at what you learn in these books…below I have a list of suggested readings:
¨ A View From The Top by Zig Zigler
¨ Goal Setting And Achieving By Zig Ziglar
¨ Becoming a Person of Influence By John C. Maxwell
¨ How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
¨ The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
¨ Getting Everything You Can Out of All You Got by Jay Abraham
¨ I Got Here You Can Too by Bruce A. Berman
¨ The Copywriters Handbook by Bob Bly
¨ Any Copywriting Books By Michel Fortin Or Audios
¨ Anything By Dan Kennedy and Jay Abraham
¨ Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
¨ Audios, Michael Senoff 117 Hours (can be found online at HardToFindSeminars.com)
¨ Any Ebooks by Darryl Graham
¨ You Can Get Great Marketing magazines from TradePub for FREE!
¨ Audios by Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson ( Simon Has Excellent Software & Ebooks also)
¨ Learn to use Audio Creation for Your Business, Video also…the Net is growing up
Any Ezines that pertain to your “NICHE” would be extremely helpful and you can get many FREE Ad spots and Cheap Ad spots in these…again Track Your Ads! There is an 80/20 Rule…Learn it and follow it. I am not going to give you all the answers as I want you to develop at learning how to Research. Research plays a BIG role in your Marketing. Helps you find great programs for free also. (One of those tips to finding Great Software/Ebooks for FREE)
You can learn a lot online, but I must be honest with you I have learned more reading books, self help, to learn how to discipline myself and not give up. Only quitters are losers and until you quit your still a Winner! Being that Business is NOT easy but fun and rewarding…these books and audios can teach a wealth of information on how to carry yourself and handle situations that come before you. I even suggest that you read some on Public Speaking as you never know when you will have a chance to tell a room full of people about your Business.
By tracking you Ads you have a clear picture of what works and what doesn’t. Keep the good and throw out the bad. Somewhere in your journeys, ideas will start coming to that are original, hold them in till the right moment to sell it, or create after you have created a name for yourself and we will talk about that next.
Always keep your Eyes open and pay attention to
What your competition is doing. Join their mailing list,
Watch their site for specials. Always keep it friendly.
Do Business with them. Trust me they are doing it to
You.
Chapter 4: Email Marketing Campaigns & All Campaigns
Until you have a list this Email Campaigns will be hard. The Money really is in the List. Depending on what type of Business you are in there are some alternatives. Not as effective but worth trying. If you have an Online/Offline Business there is Direct Mail and you can purchase Targeted List from many reputable companies (see Entrepenuer.com for more details and lots of Free valuable info)…now I am going to be BLUNT, this is expensive. But sometimes some companies run Free Leads an if you get a good return it may be worth purchasing their service.
There are also Targeted Email list that can be purchased…again this is expensive. But with a good return and provided you have the money it very well may pay off for you. There are also a few good Safelist; upgraded only on this one has given me some results in some things and on some NOTHING!
Ezines have some good advertisement in the write ones. This is something you have to Research, join Forums for Marketers and pay attention to what is working for others, and start creating a network of other Marketers, even your competitors; you may be doing JVs (Joint Venture, look in Google and other places to learn more about JVs) with them at some point.
Your Business needs to become automated through ARs and Viral (Networking Advertising), Email, Direct Mail Campaigns; the overall goal is for you to make money 24 hours a day! And you will. These very things I am sharing with you have helped me grow tremendously, personally, and professionally. I work online and offline Businesses. I love what I do, I want to see more money from my last Investment into a Business and I will, Patience too is a Must! And You Never Give Up! You Never Give up remember; The Only Losers Are those who give up.
Join sites like Adlandpro.com, Directmatches.com, and Ryze. They are all good for prospecting and I get some business from them here and there. They are more for networking, and the Nets most talented can be found here.
You will need to start building a name for yourself. You can write small Articles and submit to Free Submission sites. If Copywriting is a Problem, you can hire a Freelancer and elance.com and other Freelance sites, but it is best to pick up this task yourself. You are not being graded and just write as you would speak about a subject. Michel Fortins sites could help you in this learning task.
Practice and the better and the better you will become, study other Articles by others. You can get PLR Articles but I would NOT submit it to an Ezine as you did not write it. A PVT Newsletter, yes, an Ezine NO…You need to be the Author with your name on it. This is how you get known. Through Campaigns, Press Release for your Business, Email Marketing, List Building, Sign Guest Books. It will all happen you just have to hang in there and NOT give up.
