More on Marketing to Your List

As I’ve stated before you really should send out as many emails to your list as possible if you hope to achieve any kind of sales volume. So, make sure you have some sort of opt-in form on your site or publication that is easy to find. Driving traffic to your site through press releases, articles and content on your site is great, but you have to be able to capture your visitor’s information in order to be able to market to them later. The more people you have on your list, the more money you’re going to make.

So, fast-forwarding a bit... you’ve now been able to build a decent list but you are really stuck on how much you can market to this list via your products or your affiliate’s. What you want to do is you always want to be doing things to keep on filling your funnel so you can start marketing more and more things.

In the first, second and third month what should you expect? Well, if you’re always marketing multiple opportunities out there, you really want to be very careful of what you are offering and what you’re not offering. Just don’t throw crap down the pipeline at them, but also don’t just sit there and do nothing at all.

So, you should be sending out emails pretty much all the time. Try to find something that’s very, very lucrative that’s really going to put a lot into your pocket.

Get started by going out and finding the affiliate programs that you feel comfortable with and you trust enough that you’re willing to put your name behind.
Once you do promote it, one thing I would recommend is that you don’t just send out one email and think it’s all over with. I would recommend dedicating a week to promoting a product or promoting something that you’re marketing, not just changing from one product to the next.

Money-wise, I’ll just tell you, you’re going to make all your biggest mistakes at the beginning when you first get started.

One of the biggest mistakes I think most people have about affiliate marketing is the fact that companies give you emails, links and all this stuff and you don’t use it. They’ve already got the system figured out and if you try to recreate the system, well, then that’s where I see the most failure is made. Follow the system – if they’ve got a system, they’ve got a way that things work and there’s probably a reason for that.

The first week, you’ve got to get you list trained. You’ve got to get them used to the fact that you’re going to be sending them emails promoting and offering things to them. By the second week you can get a better feel for your list, of what they can take, what they can’t take, and not only that, how much it means for you. If you’re always offering various products to your list, after a while you’re going to get to a point where it’s going to seem pretty easy.

“3 Small Secrets that can make a Huge Difference”

Following are three small secrets you can use in your Internet that make a big difference.

Secret #1: You want to have active hyperlinks in your emails. People are lazy. They won’t take the time to copy and paste an inactive link into their browser. You can ensure that you have provided an active link by putting a space in right after you type in the hyperlink. This may seem like a small tip, but it could be worth thousands of dollars in revenue.

Secret #2: What’s the first thing you have to have when you want to market online? The first thing you need is a product. You have to have a product to market whether it is yours or somebody else’s product.

Many people start off by promoting other people’s products through affiliate marketing. Then they create their own product in the future. This is one way to enter the Internet market, but it won’t earn you the most money. Why? If you are affiliate then you won’t earn as much money as the person whose product you are selling.

Affiliate marketing is great for supplemental income. However, if you want your primary income to come from your Internet business then you need to sell your own product. You can also have affiliates work for you.

If you market your own product then you will make 100% of the products. Creating and selling your product will take you more time, energy, and money to get started. However, these upfront issues will be overcome quickly when you earn all the cash and not have to give any of it away.

Secret #3: Your product doesn’t have to change the world. You don’t have to be a creative superstar. You simply have to get a product out there that you can market.

One of the biggest problems people have when they jump online and decide to build an Internet business is that they’re mind goes blank. For some reason they forget about their experiences in traditional business. They believe that the online business world works so differently, that their old corporate business skills make no sense. This is incorrect. You have to use the same skills that you used before.

What are some skills that you still need to use online? You still need to market your product, satisfy your customers, and build a system just to name a few. You should also seek out what customers want and give it to them. People always crave information.

Brainstorm and think about your past experience and knowledge. Do you have information that other people need? Can you write a manual that will help people? For example, can you write a manual that helps people set the timer on their VCR? You can search the Internet to find out what topics people are searching for. You can combine this demand with your background to provide an informational product.

There may be information and tasks that you take for granted, but other people don’t understand. For example, you may know how to set up a computer and connect it to the Internet, but many people don’t. You can create training material that helps these people do it on their own. The options on things you can teach are endless.

Warmest regards,

“8 Secrets of Powerful Massive Joint Ventures”

Secrets of powerful massive joint ventures:
Secret #1: Make a long list of potential partners. Brainstorm to think of all the people you can ask to be part of your massive joint venture. Leave nobody off the list no matter how “big” and famous they are. You never know if they will be in your joint venture unless you ask them. So don’t rule anybody out thinking that they wouldn’t possibly respond to your joint venture request.

Secret #2: Once you acquire someone to be in your joint venture, ask them for referrals of even more contacts. By asking for referrals you can piggyback off of their reputation. Plus, you can find people that you never even knew of. Remember, a massive joint venture will include not just one, but several joint venture partners.

Secret #3: When first contacting somebody about a joint venture send them a short, simple “feeler” email to see if they are interested. If they show interest then send them a more detailed description of the project. You can also call them as well. Talking with them can be very powerful and builds a relationship.

Secret #4: Look for items that have high profit margins. Information products have a high profit margin. If you set up a joint venture with information products then ask for a higher cut as an affiliate marketer.

Secret #5: As an affiliate marketer look for fast payouts. You should get your affiliate commission quickly within one month. Read the affiliate marketing details carefully.

Secret #6: The fortune is in the follow up. An example would be to offer a bonus after a teleseminar. You can earn loads of cash by offering these extra items after the teleseminar call. The teleseminar call can be a great part of your joint venture.

Secret #7: Make money first by conducting product integration. For example, get paid to give a telephone interview and then promote and sell your product.

Secret #8: Offer free bonuses if people stay on your teleseminar call. Your joint venture partner can offer bonuses as well. Work together to think of ways to attract and retain customers.

Power Tools of Internet Millionaires

Dominating a market on the Internet requires a savvy mind. You need to know how to leverage your power. You can leverage your power through killer copywriting. However, copywriting alone will not shoot you to the top of the Internet market. You need two more tools in your toolkit of power. These two tools include knowing how to leverage the power of traffic generation and how to build a list.

Power Tool #1: Leverage the power of traffic generation.
Traffic puts people in front of your messages (copywriting). If you learn how to generate a massive amount of traffic then you are the King of the Internet. It only takes one traffic generation source to rise to the top. Become an expert on that traffic generation method and you will be flooded with offers for joint ventures.

The 17 sources of traffic generation that are profitable include:
Integration marketing
Affiliate marketing
Ezine or paid advertising
SEO
PPC
Teleseminars
Blogs
Podcasting
Voice broadcasting
Direct mail
Article marketing
Joint ventures
Viral marketing
Viral videos
Bonus traffic
Golden rule traffic – This is his new method. It relies on the core elements of a website and Autoresponder.

Don’t become overwhelmed by these methods. Don’t try them all at once. Focus on one method and work with it to its fullest potential.


Power Tool #2: List building is extremely important. List building is a combination of copy writing and traffic generation. With your list, you obtain targeted traffic on demand. A list enables you to drive thousands of people to your website. Your copywriting then prompts the website visitors to buy. Basically, when you send an email to your list, you will earn money!

You don’t have to learn copywriting, traffic generation, and list building all at once. You can create a joint venture with people that are skilled in the areas you are not. For example, you may have a list, but don’t have good copy writing skills. You can find a joint venture partner that has excellent copy, but doesn’t have a great list. They use your list and you use their copy. It is a win-win situation for both.

Do you know these 3 Internet Business Secrets?

Internet Business Secret #1: Affiliate marketing
You can promote other people’s products through affiliate marketing. This is a great way to earn income. Affiliate marketing brochure points out the benefits of being their affiliate. Most brochures make it sound a whole lot better then it really is. For example, the brochure may say…

“It costs nothing to get started. You can get paid without having your own website. Earn commissions. Don’t have to store products. All you have to do is drive traffic to the website.”

This is all true only IF you know how to drive traffic to a website. The concept is great, but driving traffic to their website is usually difficult it you don’t know how. This is why very few people are successful at marketing other people’s products.

However, you can drive an intense amount of traffic to your affiliate’s website if you know how to use the article traffic system.

ARTICLE TRAFFIC SYSTEM:
Step #1. Article that you write or buy on the topic of the website or product. If you’re not a writer then pay someone else to write the article.

Step #2. Submit the article to Internet article directories. (www.submityourarticle.com and www.articlemarketer.com) The bottom of the article should contain your bio, a link to your website, and say that they can sign up for a free report or eBook by clicking on a link to the website. You can build a list this way because traffic will go to the website and sign up. Do this once a week.

Step #3. Take the same article and post it to your BLOG.

Step #4. Send the article in a newsletter. This will bring traffic to the website. You are receiving traffic from thousands of different places on the Internet. Your articles become viral as they travel around the Internet. You also obtain high quality links.

TIP: Technorati tracks Blogs. Technorati has found that there are at least 50 million Blogs on the Internet.

TIP: Use “WordPress” to Blog. Install “WordPress” on your website. It sits on your own server and can be optimized. You can have additional plug-ins. Traffic comes to your domain. Plus, it’s easy to use.


Internet Business Secret #2: Copy writing. Outsource copy writing if you don’t like to write or don’t have the time.

Internet Business Secret #3: Product creation. You should develop your own products, so you can keep ALL profit from the products. If you solely promote other people’s products through affiliates or joint ventures you will only earn part of the profit.
