Teleseminars: Communicate with Your Visitors

Holding a teleseminar takes patience, planning and true professionalism. If you are holding a teleseminar always remember to communicate thoroughly with your audience. What I mean by “thoroughly” is don’t only send them email message reminders, but also give them a call. As long as your opt-in form has an area where they can enter their first name, email address and phone number, you’re good to go! By giving your visitors and prospects a call you are personalizing your contact with them. You’re making them feel special and they are respecting you not only as an authority but also as a very professional and trustworthy individual that in the end they’ll feel comfortable giving you their credit card information to “make the sale”!

So, if you’ve read any of my past articles on teleseminars, you know I strongly recommend voice mail blasts. That’s right. Calling your prospect and confirming the teleseminar details is a sure way to increase your call-in numbers. What you do with voice blasts is you’ll call your opt-in visitor an hour in advance, then a half an hour before the call and then send them a quick email fifteen minutes before the call giving them the call-in details. You will reconfirm the details you’ve already messaged them in your voice mail blast. Your email should sound something like this:

“Hi, here’s the phone numbers again and I just wanted to let you know, I’m on the other line waiting for you. Now that you have the phone in your hand, it’s going to be pretty easy for you to dial in.” Something to that.

They’ll think that you’re organized and professional and they will value your reminder messages to them. Remember, your JV speaker on the call is most likely going to sell something to your audience. But make sure you sell at the end of the call.

What I usually do at the end of the call with my JV partner is I will give the speaker the URL to drive everybody to. I do this so that they can go through and order from the location that I want them to – that’s the location associated with this particular JV’s teleseminar. I also may set up a voice mail that’s specifically designed for them, for – basically, what that offer says online when the people go to it. I’ll also have a voice mail that says that same exact thing to get people to go there, too. I’ll ensure that everything is set up so that all the money comes to me first. This ensures I keep track of the sales being made. I get access to the money because this is my teleseminar and my list.

After we do that, then the last thing is, I pay my JV partner 30 days out. It’s a 50/50 split on all the deals that I do. I suggest you do the same because you need to make this a win-win for both you and your JV partner. Afterall, all they had to do was talk for an hour and make thousands of dollars in return. It’s a pretty sweet deal. You too can make deals like this if you only set them up and just make it happen!

Teleseminars: How to Increase Your Conversion with Voice Mail Blasts

Running teleseminars is an excellent way to earn crediblility in your niche and increase your bottom line. But it doesn’t happen overnight. You have to set up your sequence of how you’ll stay in touch with your prospects and visitors. The only way to do this is by using the right tools to personalize your messages and increase your contacts. So, how do you do this? It’s a fairly simple task. Let me explain...

So, once your visitor signs up for your teleseminar through your opt-in page (that includes their first name, last name and email address and phone number), you need to send them an email reminder of when the call actually is going to happen. If the JV partner on your call is somebody who’s going to be really selling a lot and I know it, I’ll send out a lot more reminders. However, on average, you should typically send at least two.

So with their contact information you’re now able to get in touch with them because when it comes close to the call you’ll typically be sending out two voice mail blasts to the individuals that sign up for your teleseminar. You have to realise that the only way that I can do that is if I capture their phone number. So don’t forget to include an area for them to enter their phone number in the opt-in form. You’ll have to ensure that the phone number box is fixed as a mandatory box that needs to be filled in by your visitor.

Calling your prospects is extremely important because you want them to remember the call is happening. But this also personalizes your interaction with them which makes you more real to them so taht they gain your trust.

So typically I send out a voice mail blast exactly one hour before the call and then again at a half hour before the scheduled teleseminar. So, if the call’s at 9:00, I’ll send out a voice blast at 8:00 and 8:30. I’ll also send an email out before the call as a reminder at 8:45.

My voice blast would say something like this:

“Hey, just wanted to let you know that I’m doing a call at 9:00. I wanted to make sure that you are able to access the call so here’s the number and PIN code. Don’t worry if you don’t have a pen and pad of paper ready. Please check your email because in a few minutes I’m going to be sending you an email with all that information. I can’t wait to talk to you, see you on the call.” So that’s kind of what I’ll say.”

In any event, if you want to hold a teleseminar use these strategies. You’ll be sure to increase your conversions and you’ll be sure to make a good number of sales. As long as you plan what you will do I’m certain you’ll get a great response from your teleseminar attendees. They’ll definitely be coming back for more.

After Following the 3 Step Teleseminar Process... Create Your CPanel Redirect & Plan Your Process

If you’ve read my last article on my three step teleseminar process you’ll have a good idea of how to prepare for your next teleseminar. After you have your JV partners lined up for your call and are working on increasing your list through your web form, the next thing that you need to do is create a redirect in your cpanel.

What I do is I’ll typically go into my control panel and I’ll create what’s called a redirect. A redirect is a link that when clicked on leads to another link url. So what this means is instead of me saying “Hey guys, just wanted you to know, go to www.mclss.com/cgi-bin/1239/245/” or some other crazy link I’ll create a new link inside the C-panel which is a redirect. I’ll create something like www.promotingtips.com/formula. That’s exactly how I do it. It’s actually a redirect to my order link. And so what happens is I’m forwarding that link to the actual order link. So when I’m on the call, I’ll say, “Hey, guys, where I want you to go right now is promotingtips.com/formula. That’s promotingtips.com/formula.” This is a great strategy especially if you are working with a long ugly url address. It allows you to say a clean and easy to understand web address while you’re on a teleseminar call. Your visitors will be able to follow what you are saying much easier than if you gave them a difficult url to write down.

By doing this you not only make it easy for them to comprehend but you make it as easy as possible so that you can make the sale!

You may be wondering why I create my redirect in my shopping cart. Well, the reason is so that it goes through my merchant account.

Once you have your shopping cart and redirects set up, you’ll want to concentrate on your squeeze page. I’m not too keen on sending out an email, saying, “Here’s the phone number to get on the call, here’s all that stuff...” Why? Well, you want to be able to capture your visitors name and email address. Basically, you want to make sure you capture people’s information so you can put them in a new autoresponder. So what I’ll do is I’ll go inside Autoresponse Plus (that’s the software I use to create my squeeze pages) and I’ll create a new autoresponder.

But here’s a great trick I know you’ll love! When you are creating an autoresponder email address use dates. Put the date and the year of each particular teleseminar. I use this method and it works really well for me. I decided not only to put the date but also the year because it’s really important for me to know what year that call happened. I need to know this because I’ve done calls three and four years ago.

If you’ll be doing teleseminar calls for years to come, then you should definitely ensure you have the year written in the email address as well for example tele110808@mydomain.com . That would be the email address or the autoresponder name. So basically, once you have that done, you need to create a squeeze page that is associated with that autoresponder. So, you need to connect the form of the autoresponder on the squeeze page and create a specific squeeze page so that you can capture people’s information.

You’ll want to create a place where people can go to sign up. You can do this by capturing their first name, their email address, and their phone number. As long as you clearly state what they are signing up for ensuring you mention the benefits they will gain by listening to the call, you’re sure to get a ton of sign ups. So, if you’re going to hold a teleseminar, as long as you have your squeeze page set up leading to a new autoresponder for each teleseminar - this will allow you to be able to know exactly where your visitors are going. As long as you plan and implement your process, your call is sure to be a success!

What You Need to Do to Systematize Your Business

When running an online business the only way to success is to have an organized system of steps that you follow in order to make your business run smoothly. There are many people who have successful online websites. But the reason they are successful is because their business is systematized. Granted there are those who fluked at their success but somewhere along the line they had a system in place and may not have even realized it.

If you already have a website but it's not creating the returns you had hoped for then make sure you have these steps in place for a smoother more profitable website.

1.Make sure you have an autoresponder in place to capture email addresses. This is critical! You need to build a list so that you can sell to them again and again. But having an autoresponder opt-in page is not enough. Go and log into your autoresponder. But make sure the autoresponder is working properly. Sign up yourself and test it to make sure your messages are going out.

2.Submit your website to free directories.

3.Monitor your Google Adwords. Test and track to see what's going on with your campaigns and analyze your results. Spend a good coffee day doing this.

4.Write Articles and ensure you have your niche keywords or the main keywords for your website sprinked throughout the content of your article

5.Submit your article to article directory sites like www.ArticleCity.com, www.EzineArticles.com or www.GoArticles.com.

6.Summarize your articles. Take those summaries of those articles and turn those summaries into emails. Start adding these informative summaries to you autoresponder sequence so that you have emails going out. I wouldn't just turn the summaries into short emails. Make sure those emails have a link that leads to a new website page with the full article. This will make it an informative website – basically off of your site. So, whatever your squeeze page is, dot com, forward slash, your site and then squeeze page article(s).

7.One thing I do is I would go look into my ListOpt. I would check to see – if the amount of people it says they sent me and the amount of people that I have in my autoresponder look pretty much the same.

8.Go in to your autoresponder list and see if there's any unsubscribers and delete them immediately.
9.Start writing your sales letter emails for your product. If you don't have your own product find affiliate products you can sell. See if your affiliates have articles and emails already pre-written that you can use to target your own list.

10.If you don't have your own product you need to create one as soon as possible. You can do this by creating a teleseminar. It doesn't matter if your list is very small (say 50 people) or very large (15,000 people). It's best if you make every mistake when you don't have that many people on your call. In any event, you can record it and sell your teleseminar as a product. You want to turn it into a product asap. You could even turn your teleseminar into a download that you can send out to your list to start building a rapport with them.

11.Look for those you want to do joint ventures with regardless of whether you have an established relationship with them or not. Place them on your potential JV list.

12.Make it happen! A great way for creating products and/or services – or to make money, is to create a day to launch. This ensures you commit and make it happen.

Follow these steps and you're sure to see great results!

“Avoid these 3 Internet Business Blunders!”

Blunders abound in Internet businesses. Read on to find out three common blunders that Internet businesses face every day. Learn about and understand these blunders so you can avoid them.

Blunder #1: People create products based on fads. If you create a product based on a fad then your product will have an extremely short shelf life. If you want to keep your business afloat far into the future then you can’t rely on a product based on a fad. The key is to create products based on what your niche wants. You can always update your products, but don’t fall prey to fads because they go in and out of style quickly.

Blunder #2: People build just a website and not a business. A website alone is not enough. If you want to make millions and have longevity in the Internet business world then you need a business plan. Think of all the dot com website businesses that plummeted in 2001. These dot com website businesses didn’t have solid, realistic business plans behind them. Don’t let the dot com grim reaper come your way.

You have to engage in tax planning, growth considerations, and everyday tasks. The reality of a business plan must be in your Internet business. A triumphant Internet business must have a business plan. This is so critical that it bears repeating.

Blunder #3: People think that the only way to reach people is through the Internet. This is not the case. You can earn more money and obtain more customers by contacting people through direct snail mail and calling them on the phone. You can reach people through teleseminars. You can have coaching sessions via telephone. You can up sell and make massive amounts of extra cash by talking to customers on the phone.

You can also set up a Blog. You can podcast. You can sell your teleseminar and podcast recordings. The lesson is that you can reach customers in both offline and online manners. The more venues you use to connect with customers, the more profit you will earn.

“Do you know the secret aspect of success?”

99% of the time Internet entrepreneurs focus on the business tasks of their Internet business. For example, they focus on setting up their website and marketing. They spend hours discussing search engine optimization techniques. They ponder which seminars and teleseminars to attend. They seek out joint venture partners. They create products. They test and tweak their website. They follow their business numbers.

While all of these business duties are necessary they don’t take into account one very important aspect. They neglect the most powerful part of their Internet business. What is it? The answer is their mindset. People need to have a mindset that sets them up for success and thwarts any failures they experience. Your mindset is at the heart of your success or failure. All of your business duties are affected by your mindset whether you realize it or not.

How can you have the right mindset? To be successful, accomplish your goals, and achieve your dreams you need to believe the following:

Greatness always starts by saying “yes” to an opportunity.

Amazing things can happen if you are open to new experiences.

Passion ignites excellence.

Your dream is never over until you quit.

There is something inside of you that says you have greatness inside of you and that you should release it to the world.

Nothing great has ever been achieved without stretching yourself. Don’t be idle and stay in your comfort zone. If you want to experience new levels of success you have to step out of your comfort zone.

When you start saying “yes” to life more things will start happening for you.

If the dream is big enough the facts don’t count. In other words, if you are passionate about achieving your dreams, goals, and desires you will continue to work at achieving your dream no matter what happens. Obstacles will not stop you. They may just be a minor speed bump and you will overcome them by doing whatever it takes.

Do you have the right mindset? Be honest.

“Stay ahead in the marketplace with these cutting edge techniques.”

When it comes to your opt-in page, cutting edge techniques will amaze you. Examples of cutting edge techniques include Internet businesses that will cater more to the customer. You will give the customer what they want as opposed to just selling your product to them. This applies to the opt-in page in that more information will be asked on the opt-in page then was asked in the past. For example, people will be asked for their age, state, phone number, etc. in addition to their name and primary email address.

Why ask for the phone number? You can find out where people live. Plus, you can get people on the phone and speak with them directly. You can also send out a voice blast that has announcements about your website, business, and products.

For example, let’s say that a customer signed up for your teleseminar list. The day after the teleseminar you can send a voice blast to them that tells them about a website you set up just for them. Give them the website address and tell them how they can get more free stuff and buy products on this website. It has been found that this follow up phone call increases sales.

Tip: When you give away bonus gifts they have to have real world value. Don’t give away crap that people can get for free somewhere else on the Internet. Give them items that you create or that could actually be sold.

Also make sure to implement scarcity in your offers. During the voice blast you can explain that the special website will only be available for 24 hours. Or you can give this 24 hour offer during the teleseminar. Your phone call the next day will prompt any people to buy that had initially been dragging their feet on the offer. This is a powerful technique. Your sales conversion will dramatically increase.

Let’s look at the sales letter. You can personalize the sales letter based on information you obtained when people opted in to your list. For example, you can ask people for the state they live in when they sign up for your list. Then you can set up technology that plugs in their state in the sales letter. Your sales letter headline can say “Offer for people from (state)”. Sales conversion usually increases as the sales letter is more personalized. You can also use the extra information in emails and other forms of communication with your customer.

Do note that your opt-in list sign up rate may falter when you ask more information. If you ask for too much information then you may scare people away. The only way to find out is to test it. Modify how much information, and the type of information you ask, on your opt-in list and see how it affects your list sign up rates.

“How to create your first product today!”

Let’s face the facts. You are in an Internet business to make money. Yes, you also want a flexible schedule and to be your own boss. However, making money is your number one goal. So how do you make money in your Internet business? Where should you start? Keep reading to find out.

Before you can make money online you need to have a product to market. The product can be your own product or somebody else’s product. If you sell your own product then you can keep 100% of the profit. If you sell somebody else’s product, through an affiliate program, then you will earn part of the profit.

Let’s say that you are going to sell your own product. How can you create this product? The easiest way to create a product is to conduct a teleseminar. A teleseminar enables you to create content quickly and easily. You can provide information that you and/or you can interview experts on the topic.

Make sure to record the teleseminar. You can turn this recording into other products such as CDs, eBooks, and reports. Simply have a freelancer transcribe your teleseminar. You can garner far more value from repurposing your content. This is a great way to not only craft your first product, but also many products in your future.

Tip: Many people don’t modify the transcript of the teleseminar. If the transcript sounds exactly like the teleseminar then it can be cumbersome. Instead, turn your transcript into a book. Edit it. Go through and find spots where you could add more information. This will add value to it. Plus, people who listened to the teleseminar will find more value in the new information that you added to this hard copy version.

Tip: Your hard copy format should be in 10pt or 12 pt font. Spacing between the paragraphs should be 1.5 inches. Don’t make the formatting bigger just trying to get more pages. You should create more pages through more content, not through formatting. If you have a huge font and a lot white space then your product will look cheap and a result will be unhappy customers.

So get started on your first teleseminar today. You will be on your way to making money online in no time flat.

“Seeking a Joint Venture Partner? Do it now, apologize later!”

You’ve started your Ask campaigns and bought Ask domains. What’s next? What other million dollar ideas can you monetize? Read on to find out.

Million Dollar Idea #2: Redirect domain names from your registrar for easy audio referrals. These websites will contain links to audios of what you are talking about. For example, let’s say you’re speaking on a teleseminar. You give listeners the name of your Ask domain which contains an audio file of a previous recorded seminar or product. This is another way to refer people to your products or the products of your joint venture partner.

You need to make sure that you don’t sound like you are trying to earn commission off the website that you refer people to. People don’t want to feel sold to even when you are just earning a commission. You can cloak the commission aspect by referring them to an Ask domain. By going to an Ask domain people can obtain the product you referred them to as well as input their concerns and questions. They will view this as a better trade for their time. They will feel like you are looking out for their best interests, not just for another commission.

Million Dollar Idea #3: Make online proposals to potential million dollar partners. Always make an online proposal in advance. Instead of asking for permission, apologize. This means that you have something to show someone before the proposal. For example, let’s say you want to partner will John Doe. You can buy and set up a domain called AskJohnDoe.com before you approach John Doe.

Then when you do approach John Doe, you will have something to show him. During the proposal presentation you can show him the website and explain how your partnership could benefit the both of you. The worst thing that can happen is that he doesn’t partner with you and you have to shut down the domain. Big deal! Setting up and disabling domains is easy. So don’t be afraid.

By setting up a domain beforehand you are making it easy for your potential joint venture partner to visualize the deal. They can see how you will make money together. They will be able to have concrete proof of how your partnership will work. All the potential joint venture partner has to do is say “yes”.

If the potential partnership says “no” and it doesn’t work out then simply apologize. Take the risk because more often than not your actions will lead to a fruitful joint venture. In fact, you may impress your potential joint venture partner with your skills, tenacity, and savvy.

Basically, you never know unless you ask and the worst they can say is “no”.

“Ask and you shall receive!”

If you want to run a thriving, lucrative Internet business then you need to take ideas and monetize them. You can grow a business by saving money or making money. Either manner will give you a fatter bottom line. Let's explore possible ideas you can monetize. These little ideas consist of low cost tips which create million dollar partnerships.

You can take these ideas and concepts and apply them to any business. These little ideas can geometrically and exponentially build value in your business. You can use one or a combination of all of these ideas in your Internet business. The leaders in the Internet business world rely on these ideas and so should you.

Million Dollar Idea 1: Buy and utilize Ask domains for profitable partnerships.
An Ask domain is a website that revolves around an Ask campaign. For example, you can partner with a popular business author. You can create an Ask website with this person. It will be an Ask (Name of Author).com website.

Wait, what is an Ask campaign? An Ask campaign utilizes the Socratic Method by asking people what they want. For example, you can ask people about their problems and then create products that solve these problems.

How does an Ask campaign turn into an Ask domain? You set up a domain address such as "Ask(your name).com". On the website have text that says "What is your biggest problem regarding "X"? Have a text box where they can type in their problem. You would be surprised at what people have problems with. This is a much more effective research method then relying on your own opinions and experiences.

You can apply the Ask campaign to many different venues. For example, you can set up an Ask website about your teleseminar. You can also set up an Ask website about your product. For example, let's say your product is a book. You could have a virtual book signing and teleseminar about your book. You can ask people what they want to know about your book and the topic discussed in your book. In the future you can utilize this information to create new products.

This is the first million dollar idea that can get you started. Ask campaigns should be used on a consistent basis if you want to expand your Internet business. Get started on your Ask campaign today.

“The Nuts and Bolts of the Ask Campaign – Part I”

You know that you can reach your customers more effectively by engaging in an Ask Campaign. However, you are not sure how to run an Ask campaign. What should you ask? How should you ask it? Are there steps you can follow? Read on to find out how to run your own Ask campaign and achieve amazing results.

Ask Campaign Steps:Step 1: Ask your customer list this question through email:"What is the single most important question you have about ____?"

For example, if you are an expert in website conversion then you could ask:"Listen, my name is "X" and I'm wondering if you cornered me for five minutes, what is the single most important question you would ask me about converting more websites into cash?"

Send your customer list to a website where they can input their questions. Save the questions into a database.

Step 2: From the questions you receive, pick a smaller number such as 21 questions that you will answer on a teleseminar. Note: You could receive hundreds, even thousands of questions.

Step 3: Send a second email 3-4 weeks later that reminds them of the question you asked in the original email. Tell your customers that you have gone through the questions and deleted an overlap and have picked the 21 most pertinent questions. Tell your customer list that the teleseminar is based on these questions and is titled "The 21 Most Common Questions about "X"".

Your customer list will then attend the teleseminar because they want to see if their question will be answered. Plus, they want to know the answer to the other questions that were asked.
An Ask campaign is a great way to connect with your customers, but also remember these general business tips:

Tip 1: Your business is only as good as the questions you ask.

Tip 2: You don't want to be tied to your product. For example, you may have created a successful product in the past. Your product may now have become obsolete. So instead of sticking with the original product you can create a new product.

For example, one Internet business guru created a popup generator product. Then the market was flooded with popup blockers. So he created a popup blocker product as well. Then he took it one step further and created a software program that will stop the popup blocker so popups could once again show up on a persons' computer.

Combine your Ask campaign with these general business tips and you are setting yourself up for business victory.

You can make a lot of money in teleseminars and speaking from the platform. A teleseminar is a platform. If you are speaking at events then you can extract a lot of money from crowds.

Imagine that you had a group of people hot and hungry who want to listen to you talk. They want to buy your products and services. If you get in front of a group of people, give them information, but don’t sell to them then you are dropping your ball. It is your job, duty, and right to go there and offer continuing education through your presentation and the products you sell. You have to sell! Not only to make money, but to help your customers.

I did 3 speaking events at 1.5 hours for a total of 4.5 hours of speaking and I produced over $250,000 in profit! How exciting is that?

Another example is to do a teleseminar and have a guest on your call. This guest can give a presentation and you both make a lot of money. If that happens then ask that guest to come back. You can have an encore presentation.

What happens if the teleseminar doesn’t go correctly? For example, what if your guest can’t make it to the teleseminar that you set up? The answer is that you will have to take the reigns and give the teleseminar content yourself. Where can you get information for your presentation? You should have a powerful platform template that you can follow. This will help you in a pinch and when you talk on your own.

Million Dollar Blueprint:
1. Make a detailed list of all the benefits and features of the product you are selling.
2. Make a detailed list of all the benefits and features of the concept and strategies you are selling.
3. Use the information from step 1 and 2 to create your content.
4. Answer the question “What gives you the right to talk about this product or service?” Possible answers include how you created the program or how you used the program and how it worked for you. You explain the process it took to create the product or the process it helped you with if you are a user.

These are the first four steps of the million dollar blueprint. Take time to write down your answers and content for these steps. You don’t have to get it right, just get started.

“5 Tips to a $100,000 Teleseminar”

You’ve set up the phone lines and booked a guest to speak on your teleseminar. Think you’re now ready to make a run for $100,000 teleseminar? Read these tips to figure out if you are ready or if there is still more work to do.

Tip #1: Send out the right number of emails at the right time. Let’s say that you are going to have a teleseminar on Thursday at 9pm. You should send out at least two emails about the teleseminar.

Send the first email on Tuesday at 11am which will let people know about the call. This email will also drive people to the squeeze page announcing the call. Once they sign up on this squeeze page they should sent an email that gives them the telephone number and pin code for the call.

Send the second email on the day of the call. In this case you would send the email on Thursday at 11am. This email will contain instructions about how to get on the call.

The best times to send out emails are 11am and 3pm. Use the time zones that you live in.

Tip #2: Make sure you do the following during the teleseminar.
- Use the million dollar blueprint formula as a script.
- If you are going to have somebody else to talk on the call, don’t bring somebody that doesn’t know how to sell. You have to know how to sell to make $100,000 on the call.
- When you are looking for somebody to talk on your call you need to find somebody that can also close. Basically, they need to be a great platform speaker.

Tip #3: How do you know if the person you want to talk on your call knows how to sell?
If they know the numbers then they are most likely a great seller. For example, they may say “If you give me 100 people on the call then I’ll convert 21% who buy”. If they hesitate and don’t know numbers then they might not be good salesman.

Your job is to get as many people on the call. Their job is to make sure to get as many people to buy. You help each other. You have to work together. Remember, the seller should have a great presentation and take care of his clients.

Tip #4: Always collect the money. Don’t let somebody else collect the money because you won’t have control about when you get it. You collect the money and pay the salesperson within 30 days.

Tip #5: Make a 50/50 split with the seller. And make sure that they sell something that is worth over $1,000. Don’t sell small products. With a higher ticket product you’ll make MUCH more with fewer items sold. So know somebody that knows how to sell big ticket items.

“Your $100,000 Teleseminar: Are you prepared?”

Let’s say that you want to have a free teleseminar on a Thursday. This is the perfect day of the week to try to make $100,000 through this call. You’ve let people know about the call by sending an email giving the date and time, but what else do you need to do to prepare?

Follow these steps:

Step #1: Get the phone lines for the teleseminar. Book them with the phone company. Use the website http://www.freeteleconnection.com if you are going to need less than 100 phone lines for the call. Use http://www.eagletelecom.com if you will have more than 100 people on the call.

You need to make sure that you have enough phone lines for the call. You need to book the lines first so you can give people the telephone number to call and the pin number to use.

Step #2: Set up a squeeze page. This squeeze page is specifically designed to get people to sign up for the teleseminar. It is a called a “squeeze page-tele”. It lets people know all about the call including the time and what will be talked about on the call. Have people subscribe at this page. The Autoresponder will capture their information and immediately send them an email. The email will thank them for signing up for the teleseminar and give them the telephone number, pin code, and instructions.

Tip: Getting rich is not about originality, it is about modeling great things. Success leaves clues so use templates from successful teleseminars used in the past.

Make sure you ask for these three things on the squeeze page:
1. Ask for their name.
2. Ask for their email address
3. Ask for their phone number

Why should you also get their phone number? Let’s say the teleseminar is going to be at 9pm. At 8:45pm you send an email reminder about the call. Then at 8:50pm you send out a voice broadcast to remind people about the call. Most people don’t send out this voice broadcast which can be very effective in getting more people to actually show up for the call. The voice broadcast gets them on the phone so they will stay on the phone for your teleseminar.

What should you say in the voice broadcast? Say something like the following…

“Hi this is Matt Bacak. I just wanted to let you know that tonight I have special guest “X” to talk about “X”. You are registered for the call at this number. I want to make sure you get on the call. The phone number is “X” and the pin code is “X”. If you miss that phone number, don’t worry. Just check your email because I sent this information to your email five minutes ago. I wish I could call everybody personally, but I am already on the call waiting for you.”

So when you send out the voice broadcast then you have already gotten the phone in their hands. (They need the phone in order to get on the call.) This strategy will increase the amount of attendance you will have.

“$100,000 Teleseminar – Which day is best?”

Are you looking to make as much money as possible from just one teleseminar? Of course you are! Did you know that you could make $100,000 from just one teleseminar if you know how? It’s very exciting to be able to earn this kind of money.

The three main steps to earning $100,000 from one teleseminar call include the following:
1. Drive traffic to your squeeze page.
2. Get the people on your squeeze page to take your offer of a free CD.
3. Get all these people to attend a teleseminar where you up sell to them.

Let’s look at these steps in more detail to see how you can take advantage of this process. So first we drive traffic to a squeeze page and we capture people’s information.
With all the people that you capture you can do a mass mailing to all of them. (Not just the people from the squeeze page, but everybody). You can send a mass mailing about a teleseminar. It is at this teleseminar call that you can make the $100,000.

You don’t even have to talk at the teleseminar. You can have somebody else talk. In that case, your job is to promote it like crazy to your list.

These are FREE teleseminars. (At the end of the call you sell them something.)
Do a teleseminar at 9pm on a Thursday night because this is one of the best times to do a call.

What about other days of the week? Here are my thoughts on these days and times:
Monday calls – Not best sales time calls. Good for calls that contain information.

Tuesday calls – Great day to do a sales call. Do it at 9pm on Tuesday. A lot of people sign up for this time, but the actual show up rate is not as high. Usually one-third to fifty percent actually shows up for the call.

Wednesday calls – Not as many people sign up for this call time, but of the people that sign up for the call a higher percentage actually buy.

Thursday calls – This is a great time for a call. Lots of people sign up and actually show up for the call.

Saturday calls – This is a really hot time because nobody else does it at this time. Do it at 11am EST. These are good times for people that can’t make it during the week. Fewer people may sign up, but a higher percentage of them buy.

Sunday calls – Never tried it then. This is my family day.

Now here’s the secret. The whole job is to get as many ears to phones as you can. The more people on the call, the more money you can make. If you have a successful teleseminar then have an encore presentation at the same time and day of the week. You may be the proud owner of a $100,000 if you follow these tips.

“6 FAQ about Internet Businesses”

Question #1: Other than teleseminars and one-on-one, what is the best way to build a relationship with clients?

Answer: Let your clients know who you are as a person. Let them know you are more than a product or service and that you are human. For example, let them know that you are real by sending out non-business related content such as a family newsletter.

Question #2: Here’s my situation. I want to use Google AdWords to promote an affiliate site. When an Internet visitor clicks on the Google AdWords advertisement should I send them directly to the affiliate’s website or to my own website first?

Answer: Send them to your website first. Create a squeeze page of your own so you can capture their information. Then once they sign up send them to your affiliate’s website. If you send them directly to the affiliate’s website then you will lose out on their information. This would prevent you from marketing to them on your own in the future.

Question #3: Do you suggest doing a squeeze page and sales letter page to get people to order freebies so you can build your list?

Answer: If Internet visitors have already gone through your squeeze page then they are on your list. You don’t need to “squeeze” them again with a squeeze page related to your freebies.

Question #4: Here’s my situation. I want to give away a free 30 minute video interview plus a transcript and a free report. My question is – Should I give away the free video interview or the free report?

Answer: Give away both the video interview and the report for free. Video interviews are hot right now so that would be a great thing to give away. However, you have to understand the needs and wants of your niche. For example, are people in your niche audio or visual? Are they used to reading? Do they want to watch and listen to a video instead?

Question #5: Here’s my situation. I received an email list from somebody that wants to do a joint venture with me. My question is – Should I send out the email to this list?

Answer: No. The email should be sent for you by the person that owns the list. You should not import their list into your Autoresponder because this is known as spamming. Plus, if you send it, the email recipients have no idea who you are and could report you as spam.

Question #6: Somebody that had legitimately signed up for my list gave a spam complaint about an email I sent. How can I defend myself against this?

Answer: You need to find exactly who posted this spam complaint. You need to prove that this person legitimately opted-in for your list. Immediately delete them from your list. Take a screen shot of this to prove that you deleted them from your list. Save their information into a separate file in case you need it later.

It’s important to realize that you will get spam complaints that you don’t deserve. This happens. Receiving a few spam complaints every once in awhile is okay. However, if you receive a lot of spam complaints then that is not a good situation.

“How to pick the right radio shows to promote your product.”

Have you written a book and are searching for ways to promote it? Have you thought about the power of being a guest on radio shows? You can make huge amounts of money by promoting your book through radio shows.

There are almost 11,000 radio stations in America. This gives you a huge market in which to promote your book. However, most are too small and don’t reach very many people. You need to target the big stations.

How do you find information about these radio shows? You need to sign up with the Radio Television Interview Report (RTIR). You run an advertisement in this report which allows radio show hosts to find you and book you on their shows. It is mailed to radio hosts and producers.

You should target the big radio shows, but how do you determine whether or not a radio show is “big”? Most radio stations give two pieces of information: Station Market Ranking and Wattage. These numbers can be misleading if you don’t know how to interpret them.

Market Ranking is simply the size of the city they broadcast in. NYC has the biggest market ranking. This includes every radio station (big or small) that transmits in NYC. So the market ranking doesn’t tell you enough information.

Wattage denotes how big the radio signal is and how far it reaches. A high wattage doesn’t always mean that it has a large audience. The FCC doesn’t give much wattage to stations in big cities because they will bleed over into other stations in nearby stations. Therefore, “big” stations may actually have low wattage. Whereas a radio station in the cornfields may have high wattage, but really be a “small” radio station.

In essence, the station wattage is usually inversely proportional to the number of listeners they have.

So how do you find the real number of listeners for a radio station? There is a company called Arbitron. Arbiton tracks the numbers and rates radio stations. They sell the ratings information for large sums of money.

What can you offer a radio station host? How can you get them to book you on their show? Radio people are in the business of keeping and getting more listeners. The way they do that is to provide great content. They are always looking for content and guests. The radio stations as a whole need about 10,000 guests to fill up their airways. Therefore, they need you.

You can sell your book, website, EBooks, CDs, DVDs, speeches, teleseminars, etc. You can promote anything you want. You can build your list through radio shows. You can increase the size of your list over night. You build your list by pushing people to your website.

Add radio station promotion as a powerful tool to your publicity campaign. You would be surprised at how much extra income you can earn by being a guest on a radio show.

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.

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.
