The three major cash flow systems for an Internet business include:
1. Ebay
2. Website
3. Google

Ebay should be the first system that you set up. Why? It takes time to build an Internet business the correct way from one month to six years. During that time you still need a cash flow. Ebay can provide that cash flow while you are building your Internet business. Therefore, make sure to participate in Ebay from the very beginning. If you already have an Internet business then you can use Ebay as another income stream.

Ebay is a gold mine. Just knowing that Ebay is a gold mine isn’t enough. You need to know how to find the most valuable gold in the gold mine. You need a thorough understanding of Ebay in order to take full advantage of its offerings. Therefore, simply heading to the Ebay website and reading their basic set up directions is not enough. You need to learn from Internet entrepreneurs that know the secrets of Ebay.

Did you know that 750,000 people use Ebay as their sole source of income on the Internet? Why not become one of them?

After you have your Ebay system up and running then focus on your website business. Ask yourself this question - How much would I like to earn on the Internet every single month?

To be successful on Ebay you need to follow these two steps:
Step #1: Establish credibility.
Buyers and sellers give each other a score on performance. The better feedback you have, the higher you can sell items for in the future.

Step #2: Put your system in place.
You need to set up a payment system. Ebay uses Pay Pal which is the #1 system for payment on the Internet. Therefore, you need to set up a Pay Pal account. You can accept money orders and checks as well because you don’t ship the item until the check clears.

The Commanding Power of the Product Pipeline

There are several methods you can use to market your products. Many Internet businesses engage in the marketing funnel. The marketing funnel means that you first offer lower priced products such as eBooks and then move up to higher priced products such as personal coaching. It is an incremental approach to increasing the price and profit you will earn.

The marketing funnel is not the only marketing choice. Another option is the “Product Pipeline”. What is the product pipeline? The product pipeline is based off the price of the product the customer bought first.

The product pipeline says the amount the customer paid for the first product (“X” dollars) means that they are only willing to spend “X” dollars at that time. So the next offer should be close to “X” dollars and closely related in the product line. You want customer to buy more than one product through your product line.

Example: A customer first buys a $97 product and then buys 4-5 more related products (around $97 each) in the next 30 days. This is a consistent type of model.

What about your high priced products? You offer the customer higher priced products once they are out of the product pipeline.

Let’s back track a moment. You need to bring customers to your website before you can bask in sales. To ensure that you are maximizing your profit make sure that you keep track of the following numbers. These four numbers are so critical that you can solve any problem you encounter by tracking these numbers.

Must-Know Number #1: Number of unique visitors that come to your opt-in page.
Must-Know Number #2: Opt-in Conversion rate – how many visitors went to your sales letter.
Must-Know Number #3: How many actually went to order page from sales letter.
Must-Know Number #4: How many people from order page actually completed the sale.

How can you track these numbers? Use the “Google Analytics” program.

The moral is to keep track of your numbers and use the product pipeline system to maximize profit!

3 Hot Tips for Internet Businesses

Internet Business Tip #8: “Success leaves traces.” Follow and find successful people on the Internet.

Internet Business Tip #9: Take action before everyone else does. Take action now!

Internet Business Tip #10: Successful Internet businesses make more than 5-10,000 per month. There are very few Internet businesses that achieve this goal. Strive to be one of them.

Lead, Don’t Follow on the Internet

Everyone wants to make more money through their website. It is a fallacy that it is “easy” to make a million dollar business on the Internet. It is not easy, but simple if you have a plan.

You need a map to know where you are every step of the way. The problem is that most Internet entrepreneurs don’t have a map or they have a faulty map. You need a map that takes you to where you want to go. Plus, the map should be updated! Don’t rely on a map that is old because it is obsolete.

You need a specific step-by-step plan to make millions on the Internet. It is not easy and takes work. However, the work can be outsourced automatically. This allows you to work less and still earn more money.

A business “system” is the key to your success. Think of McDonald’s. They have a system in place that earns a high profit.

There is a system for making money on the Internet. It will work if you complete all the steps correctly. You have to do all steps. You can’t leave out any steps. If you complete all the steps you will succeed.

Most businesses on the Internet follow each other. They are dependent on actions of each other. Many Internet entrepreneurs end up traveling all over the place to find more money. For example, new business opportunities or fads catch their eye. The Internet entrepreneur tries all of these fads and is basically roaming all over the place. This is neither the most efficient nor profitable way to conduct your Internet business.

Most Internet businesses follow, but don’t lead. For example, a typical website on the Internet has distracting items on it such as a background of the domain name. This is a fad and many websites do this. This is not a good strategy because it is distracting. However, more websites continue to use this design because they see other websites doing this and assume it is the way to go.

Teleseminar Tips Every Internet Entrepreneur Should Know

Are you contemplating running a teleseminar in your Internet business? Are you ready to connect with clients through a valuable teleseminar meeting? Congratulations are in order because a teleseminar is an impressive and valuable way to strengthen your Internet business. Planning and running a teleseminar may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Following are common questions regarding teleseminars.

Teleseminar Question #1: Do you need to create a web page for a teleseminar and capture the names on an Autoresponder? Or can you just send out a promotional email about the teleseminar to your list?
First, you need to create a sub list of people from your general list. The sub list contains people that are going to attend your specific teleseminar. You can create this sub list by capturing the personal information of people that sign up for your teleseminar. This means that you will have to set a squeeze page for each seminar.

Setting up a squeeze page is quick and easy. The purpose of setting up a squeeze page for each teleseminar is that you can obtain a high quality sub list of people that you can directly market to after the teleseminar. If you just send an email to your general list then the quality of responses and number of responses tends to be lower.

You should also collect different subscriber lists for each product as well as each teleseminar. In essence, you will have a general squeeze page that you drive most of your traffic to. You will have different sub lists for sales letters, teleseminars, etc. Each sub list will be obtained from a specific squeeze page. This helps you target customers and follow up on a personalized basis. Remember, the fortune is in the follow up.

Teleseminar Question #2: What schedule should you follow to send out emails before a teleseminar?
Thursday night has proven to be an optimal night to have a teleseminar. Send emails out on Tuesday and Thursday for a Thursday night teleseminar. Also send an email to your teleseminar sub list about 15-20 minutes before the call to remind them of the teleseminar.

Another tip regarding promotion of your teleseminar is to not promote the teleseminar too soon in advance. For example, announcing or promoting a teleseminar two weeks in advance is too early. Many people will forget to sign up or will make excuses as to why they can’t attend the teleseminar. Therefore, you should wait to the last minute to announce and promote the teleseminar. For example, send out a teleseminar invitation on a Monday or Tuesday for a Thursday teleseminar.

3 Hot Tips on the Fastest Way to Make Money on the Internet

Are you new to the Internet business world? Are you inundated with conflicting information regarding Internet marketing? Do you want to learn the secrets of making money quickly online? If so, then you are not alone. Many have been in your shoes before and have waded through the information.

Following are answers to various questions that plague both new and old Internet entrepreneurs alike.

Question #1: What are the fastest ways a newbie can make money on the Internet? Especially for a newbie that needs to get out of debt?
You need to have either a subscriber list or product or both before you can start making on the Internet.

If you have a list, but no product then you can promote and sell other people’s products. For example, you can go to http://www.clickbank.com and became an affiliate of their various digital products. Clickbank.com has a well established affiliate program in place. Sign up as an affiliate and send an email to your list. Sending emails to your list is quick and virtually free. It is a great way to bring in quick money.

If you have a product to sell, but no list then you should set up a joint venture with someone that has a list. The list should contain subscribers that would be interested in your product. Your joint venture partner will promote and sell your product by sending an email(s) to their list.

Question #2: I receive a great deal of information about Internet marketing. This conflicting information has me confused. Who should I listen to?
There are several legitimate and successful Internet marketers out there that you should listen to. However, there exist Internet marketers that are out to take your money. You should always look for proof of success from the Internet marketer in question. Are they really making the money they claim? Find references that can back up their claims.

It is important to note that the big marketers usually hang out together. You will often see the successful big names in the same circles. However, there are thriving Internet marketers that work discretely underground. These Internet marketers may be running their business for fun and want to educate other people about it.

Also make sure to learn from somebody that makes a lot more money than you!

Question #3: I have an eBook and list. How often should I market this eBook to my list?
It is up to you, but once a month at a bare minimum. Make sure that when you offer the eBook that you also offer other items for purchase. This helps to get your list used to you offering them something and can lead to increased sales. The key is to promote more than one product at a time.

5 Steps to a money-spinning Seminar

Are you an Internet entrepreneur ready to put on your first seminar? If so, congratulations! A seminar is a giant leap into Internet business success. Whether this is your first or hundredth seminar, you always want it to sell out. What strategies can you use to promote the seminar that sells it out in no time?

The first step is to make sure that you have signed a contract with the hotel for the date of the seminar. Why? You are now legally obligated to pay for the hotel. This signed contract is a powerful motivation when it comes to selling out the seminar. Signing a contract holds you accountable.

The second step is to write an order form for the seminar. Your order form should include information about the offer, bonuses, and everything a person will receive when they attend the seminar. Give specific monetary values for the bonuses. For example, one bonus could be the option to bring a friend for free to the seminar. State the monetary value of the seminar. Another example is to offer a free audio recording of the seminar. Make sure to add up the value of the bonuses to make the seminar more attractive to potential attendees.

The third step is to write a sales letter that sells the seminar. Gear the entire sales letter towards the seminar including costs and benefits. Your sales letter should have people clamoring to obtain a spot at the seminar.

The fourth step is to decide on promotional strategies. A highly effective promotional strategy is to have a teleseminar before the seminar. Invite your subscriber list to the teleseminar. The purpose of the teleseminar is to sell your seminar. Educate the listeners and then promote your seminar event. Start off with a teleseminar for your list as this is a great testing ground. Then conduct an improved version of the teleseminar for other people’s lists.

The fifth step includes following up after the teleseminar. When the teleseminar is finished, email an audio of the teleseminar to your list. This enables listeners to hear your seminar event offer again. They are more likely to sign up for the seminar at this time if they didn’t during the original teleseminar.

Don’t just send a direct link to the audio in your email. Instead, send an email in your Autoresponder that sends your list to a squeeze page. On the squeeze page they will have to provide personal information in order to receive the audio of the teleseminar. This method creates a specific list of people that listened to the audio.

Make sure to capture all their information including street address. The purpose of obtaining their address is to have the ability to snail mail the list an offer to come to the seminar. What offer should you snail mail your client list? You can print the sales letter you created for the Internet and send it.

Essentially, you want to promote your seminar event in several ways. You can promote to your list until they all unsubscribe. The odds of your entire list unsubscribing are pretty slim, so promote to them constantly. This will ensure the best chance of selling out your seminar.

Problem with Google Adwords? Try these tips.

Google Adwords is an advertising program used by Internet entrepreneurs all over the world. Google Adwords can be an effective way to reach potential subscribers and sell products. However, Google Adwords can sometimes pose obstacles.

For example, let’s say that you are running a Google Adwords campaign. The Google Adwords campaign works well when you set up a pay-per-click campaign using 250 keywords for your website. Initially, the minimum cost-per-click was $0.06 and the maximum cost-per-click was $0.10. You run the campaign for two days and your Google Adwords advertisements place high as #1.

Then a few days later you are stunned by Google’s response. Google says that you now have to pay a cost-per-click of $0.50. It leaves you to wonder how the cost-per-click suddenly sky rocketed. Are other advertisers paying for the same keyword phrase? Why is Google increasing the cost when you have very specific keywords?

Google has various rationales as to why they suddenly up the cost-per-click price. First of all, you may not pay $0.50 per click even though Google raised it to this new level. It depends on who else is bidding for the keyword. Therefore, you may actually end up paying much less per click. So don’t take the number at face value. You can accept the $0.50 per click value and watch it closely. Test it out.

What if you are uncomfortable with the high pay-per-click cost and don’t even want to risk trying it out? There are a few things you can do in this case. You can try switching from a “keyword targeted” strategy to a “site targeted” strategy.

Open up your Google Adwords campaign and “pause” the keyword targeted option. Activate the site targeted option. You can target specific sites regarding your topic. You can pick and choose what sites your advertisements will be on. The site targeted option is a little different from the keyword targeted option in that it does not run on a cost-per-click model. Instead, it is based on a cost-per-impression model. Running a site targeted strategy may be your best bet at combating high cost-per-click levels.

Another suggestion to alleviate Google Adwords problems is to try running a different advertising program called Adbrite at http://www.adbrite.com. Another option is to run a keyword advertising program on http://www.msn.com.

Remember, Google Adwords is a beneficial option, but not the only choice. Don’t give up. Test and tweak. Keep trying.

How to Significantly Increase the Number of Attendees at your Next Teleseminar

Teleseminars are a great way to connect with your customers. You can provide information, answer questions, and market your products and services through teleseminars. You can also invite your joint venture partners to talk on your teleseminar. The marketing opportunities and ideas are endless. Following are situations and questions about the components of a successful teleseminar. Internet gurus will reveal the secrets to achieve this goal.

One major concern regarding teleseminars is the number of subscribers that attend the teleseminar. An example of this concern involves an Internet marketer that put on his first teleseminar. He sent an email to his subscriber list of over 2,000 email addresses. He sent an email twice a day for three days regarding the teleseminar. The copy on the emails was top notch as it was written by copy writing professionals. However, when it came time for the teleseminar he had low attendance on the call.

This left him to wonder the source of the low attendance. Was it due to the quality of the subscriber list? Was it that his subscriber list was not used a teleseminar? What could he do to significantly increase the attendance at his next teleseminar?

Internet Guru Answer: We need to examine his situation more closely. Did the Internet marketer set up a squeeze page that enables people to sign up for the teleseminar? Did the emails have a clickable link to the squeeze page? Did the Internet marketer track the number of people that clicked on the link in the email and then actually signed up for the teleseminar?

First of all, don’t worry if you have low attendance at your first teleseminar. Low attendance can be the result of many factors. For example, your subscriber list may not yet be “trained” to attend your teleseminars. Be proud that you gave a teleseminar. Keep providing more teleseminars and your subscriber list will catch on. The attendance level will increase if you are persistent.

You should also verify that you have a squeeze page for each teleseminar. The squeeze page should enable each person to sign up for the specific teleseminar. This specific list will go to an Autoresponder. This helps you keep track of who and how many sign up for the call. Plus, you can then market to this quality list before and after the call.

You can also track the link from the email to the squeeze page. Make sure to check how many people clicked on the link AND actually signed up for the teleseminar. These numbers will give you a conversion rate concerning the number of people that actually signed up for the call.

Another way to significantly increase teleseminar attendance is to bribe your subscriber list. For example, tell your subscriber list that if they attend the teleseminar then they will get a free bonus worth a good chunk of money. Also after they sign up you can send a voice broadcast to remind them to attend the teleseminar. Recommended voice broadcast systems include: Voice Shot and Market Touch Media.

6 Tips to a Profitable Joint Venture

Joint ventures are an extremely effective way to break into the Internet business market. Joint ventures also help to keep your business riding high as you bring in more subscribers and increase sales. Therefore, an Internet business entrepreneur should participate in and actively seek out joint venture partnerships.

When seeking out and creating joint ventures you should keep a few things in mind. Following are tips to help you set up and maintain an effective affiliate program in your joint venture.

Joint Venture Tip #1: You should have an affiliate manager program set up before you take part in a joint venture. Kick Start Cart is an excellent program to use.

Joint Venture Tip #2: Place all your digital products on http://www.clickbank.com. Why? Clickbank has an established affiliate program that makes it simple to create joint ventures.

Joint Venture Tip #3: If you are offering a digital product to affiliates then you might want to be more generous to the affiliate. This means that you offer 70% commission to the affiliate while you take the remaining 30% commission. Normally, a joint venture has a split of 50/50 for the commission. However, for digital products the 70/30 split will bring in higher quality and more motivated affiliates.

Joint Venture Tip #4: Bribe joint venture parties to become your affiliate. A joint venture partnership needs to be beneficial for both parties involved. Therefore, you need to make your offering attractive to an affiliate. What is in it for them? In certain situations you can offer a 100% commission to affiliates. This may seem crazy, but it is a long term strategy. The 100% commission will motivate affiliates to heavily promote and sell your product. You won’t make the commission at that time, but you will bring in a quality subscriber list which you can promote to and make money off of in the future.

Joint Venture Tip #5: Find an affiliate program that is easy for BOTH you and the affiliate. You want to make it as easy possible for an affiliate to partner with you. You should provide the content for the Google Adwords advertisements, emails, banners, etc. for the affiliates. Have the content all ready to go so the affiliate can simply take your information and plug it into their strategy.

Joint Venture Tip #6: Sign up for affiliate programs to find out how they manage their affiliate program. You don’t necessarily have to sell anything for them. You just want to model their strategy if it is lucrative. Success leaves clues. Use these clues to your benefit. A great affiliate program to check at is http://www.promotematt.com/.
