“Mastermind Principles for Internet Businesses”

If your run an Internet business then you need to know these mastermind principles and the ins and outs of Internet marketing.

Mastermind principles every Internet business owner should know:

1. You have to associate with the right people. You have to listen to successful mentors that know what they are doing. Your success will skyrocket if you do business with and learn from successful Internet entrepreneurs.

2. There is a formula of success. Follow the steps of the formula and you will be successful.

3. Multiply your wealth and compound it.

4. Write down your goals.

Check out this 1951 Harvard Business School Study – Of the business school graduates they found that only 3% had written goals and had a plan to achieve them. They followed the graduates through out their lives. They found that the graduates who had written goals were much more successful financially then the other 97% that didn’t write goals. The graduates that wrote their goals were worth $16 million dollars each as opposed to the other 97% that were worth only $15,000 each.

Napoleon Hill’s Famous Formula for Goals:

Write:

1. “I am so happy that _______________”.
Fill in the blank with your goal. For example, I am so happy that I am earning millions of dollars on the Internet. Write down a date as well to give you a timeframe goal. For example, I am so glad that I was on Oprah promoting my million dollar business by June 25, 2010.

2. Take action. Everybody has things that they know they should do, but they don’t. They don’t accomplish these tasks out of laziness and/or fear. Write these tasks and activities down. Make sure to read what you have written so that you take action. Write down your wishes and your dream will come true.

Now let’s take a look at Internet marketing. Internet marketing is the ultimate direct response marketing venue. Internet marketing is another medium that you can use in direct marketing.

The five advantages of Internet marketing include:

1. The cost is 0 dollars. You can market for free.

2. Speed. Your email marketing can arrive instantly.

3. The reach. You can reach a global market, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

4. A webpage can stay up forever. You don’t throw it away, you just update it.

5. The Internet allows you to automate a great deal of your business processes. In traditional direct response marketing you have to physically create and mail out marketing materials. In Internet marketing you can use Autoresponders and other automatic software programs that involve no extra work on your part.

“Gifting: Free Offers = More Income”

Do you know the powerful tool called “gifting”? It is a potent tool that can increase the success of your Internet business by converting traffic. Plus, it benefits your customer list as well.

What is gifting? Gifting is a driver that can be accomplished by offering free one-on-one consultations. These can be lucrative because you are establishing a relationship and have another chance to up sell to your customers. Plus, the customer feels like you are looking out for their best interests when you offer them free information. They are then more likely to buy from you.

Use the law of reciprocity in gifting. When you give people a free consultation, they will want to give back to you. For example, when you give live demonstrations then people will want to give back to you by purchasing products from you.

Tip: Autoresponders – Send your most important content messages in multiples of 7 days. So on days 1, 7, 14, and 21, send your most valuable content in the Autoresponder emails. For example, you can have demos on these days.

Do you know about market center marketing? Market center marketing is when you know what everybody wants and decide that you are going to sell it. For example, you want to give your own customers a great deal or value so you give teleseminars based on your customer’s questions.

For example, one Internet entrepreneur had hundreds of questions flood into his business when he offered to give a teleseminar based on customers’ questions. He picked 52 questions to cover since there are 52 weeks in the year. He made sure the questions were specific. Then he turned the teleseminar into a product by creating a transcript and CD of the teleseminar. This is a great way to make money from a free teleseminar.

Other market center techniques involve the configuration of your website. Following are two tips you can use:

Tip #1: People read linearly on the Internet. So put your name and what you want in the first paragraph.

Tip #2: Engage website visitors by using flash audios. Auditory elements such as testimonials are very powerful. They keep the website visitor, aka a potential customer, interested in you and your product. This element increases the chance of the person becoming a paying customer.

“Do you know the answer to these 4 questions?”

Internet businesses encounter a variety of business situations every day. For example, you have to know how to use your software, how to promote your business, and how to save on taxes. You will make hundreds of decisions each day. You will also encounter problems and questions no matter how efficient your business is. Knowing the answer to problems and questions can mean the difference between a profit and a loss.

Following are a wide variety of common questions many Internet businesses face. These questions are all over the board, which is a great representation of the questions you will have to deal with in your business.

Question #1: I use an Autoresponder. For some reason, my Autoresponder is sending duplicate messages causing me to lose subscribers. Why is the Autoresponder sending duplicate messages?

Answer: You may be putting your email messages in both the text side and the HTML side of the Autoresponder. If you have email in both places then it will send out duplicate content.

You can check this by opening up your Autoresponder and looking under the “Properties” feature. Check to see if you have the email set to “text”. Remember, you want to send your emails as text. Click “save” to save this setting.

Next go back in to where you place your email messages. Make sure that you have placed your email messages in the “text” area only.

Question #2: On my Internet business website should I post articles in full rich HTML text as opposed to PDF format?

Answer: Post your articles in full rich HTML format. Avoid the PDF format because search engines can’t read PDF content. The search engines recognize that it’s a PDF, but they can’t actually read it. You can offer a link to download an HTML article in PDF format if you want, but it is not necessary.

Question #3: Should you post articles on your branding site or on your squeeze page?

Answer: You can put one article on your branding site. You can also put an article on your squeeze page. Think about it. When traffic is driven to your website they are driven to your squeeze page. The article on your squeeze page is more of a benefit to your subscribers than it is to being picked up by search engines. It will help build a relationship with your subscribers from the get-go.

Question #4: What equipment should I use for burning CDs, DVDs, and making labels?

Answer: A great program is “BravoPro” which burns DVDs and CDs. It also creates the labels for you. Make sure to purchase the add-on that lets you burn more CDs and DVDs at one time.

For packaging you can buy items at Office Depot to begin with. This helps you determine which size packaging, etc, works for you. Once you have figured out what packaging is best then you can order in bulk. You can then find a supplier that is cheaper than Office Depot and order in bulk.
