"13 Breakthroughs For Immediate Profits..."
By Terry Dean
Too often businesses and individuals only think of
profits in a linear fashion. They think of adding
10% more customers this month or this year. They
think of growing in small little steps.
You must break out of this mold. The Internet has
leveled the playing field. Businesses you have
never heard of before have become household names
in only a few short years. Think about it. Have
you ever heard of Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, or Napster
a few years ago? Now, they are front page news on
every newspaper every single day.
Fortunes are being made and lost in a single year
online. As a matter of fact, there have been more
millionaires created in the past 2 years than in
the last 200 combined. This new market is still
wide open and it is up for grabs to those with
the ambition, guts, and speed to take control of
it.
The Internet is wide open to you and your business.
While the major corporations throw millions of
dollars at billboards and TV ads trying to gain
the eyeballs of the average population, you can
quickly and easily corner a very specialized niche
market of your own.
Here are a few ways you can produce immediate
breakthroughs at your web sites. Below are thirteen
strategies that can and will produce an immediate
increase in profits in your web business.
If you are just getting started in your own
business, then take the following as an
introduction to a profitable web business. Take
notes and give yourself ideas you will be able to
add into your web site later on in the growth
process.
1. Design a High Quality Web Site
The biggest mistake that I see 95% of small
business webmasters making is in the area of
designing their web site. There are two primary
mistakes that I see made over and over again.
The first mistake is to focus so much on the web
site design and graphics that they overwhelm the
actual product itself. A gorgeous web site is
created using Flash, Real Audio, Real Video, etc.
but it is never tested to be effective or not. In
my own tests, I have found that a simple
professional looking site produces the best
results...without all the bells and whistles.
The second major mistake that webmasters make
is to use the wrong tools to design their site
in the first place...and they end up with a
very unprofessional looking site. The real idea
of the web site design process is to produce
something that looks professional, but that
doesn’t draw away from the text. The key to
your web site is have all images and graphics
focus your visitors back to your advertising
message.
2. Automate Your Email Follow-Up
The key to selling online or selling anywhere
for that matter is to follow up with your
prospects at least 7 times. You cannot rely
on just one visit to your web site to cut
the mustard. The biggest profit producing
strategy I ever came up with was to start
working on getting people to subscribe or
opt-in to an email follow-up list by giving
them a free training series on my subject.
The easiest tool to use for email follow-up
is from Postmaster Online which you can go
to from
http://www.oraifite.com/pm
They give you 50 autoresponders which
automatically follow-up, a complete database
system to track all of your prospects and
customers, a contact system, and more. It
is the best tool I have found to help you
increase your Internet response rates
immediately.
3. Start an Opt-In Email List
Even with all of my advertising, web site
traffic, and promotions, over 50% of my
income still comes in through my opt-in
email list which I send out almost every
week. Starting your own opt-in list is
the key to long-term Internet profits.
Just like in direct mail, the profit is
in the list. Build your list.
The best strategy to handle your email
list is to use the Postmaster Online
system from above. It can give you a
personalized ezine (if you are collecting
names with your email addresses) and can
handle all of the removes, unsubscribes,
and undeliverables for you.
If you can't afford the Postmaster system
(even though it is a low monthly cost),
then you could get started with the free
service from Listbot at
http://www.lisbot.com
4. Place a Sponsor or Solo Ad in Ezines
People are always asking me the quickest
way to build traffic to their sites.
Search Engines usually take a while,
banner ads are expensive, and offline
advertising takes months. The quickest,
lowest cost, and most effective form of
online advertising is placing
sponsorships and solo ads in ezines
and online newsletters.
Nothing else will even come close to the
results which you can produce through
this method. You can purchase sponsorships
and solo ads for $100 to $1000 and often
produce results of three to ten times the
ad costs if you have an effective ad for
the appropriate audience. There isn’t
anywhere else in the world that you can
get this kind of bang for your buck when
it comes to spending money on your
marketing.
5. Use a Pay-Per-Click Search Engine
Regular search engines take months to get
positions in and start bringing the traffic
(although you can pay Yahoo’s special fee
of $199 to get in there quicker). The way
to get traffic immediately from the search
engines is to start dealing with the
pay-per-click search engines such as Overture.com.
Overture.com allows you to set up an account
and then you only pay a set fee (almost
in an auction model) for each visitor to
your site. If you bid one penny per
visitor, then you only have to pay a
single penny for every visitor to your site.
If you bid ten cents, you pay ten cents.
If you have tested and can bid a dollar
per visitor, then that is what you will pay.
How much you pay for traffic is up to you.
There are now several hundred search engines
following this model. Most of them don’t
produce nearly as much traffic as Overture.com,
but some of them can be used once you have
proven the effectiveness of your keywords at
Overture.com first.
You can find thirty of them at:
http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/
6. Participate in Online Schmoozing
Beginning marketers online are always looking
for the best free advertising methods, but as
the years go by, more and more of these
methods are disappearing. The quickest free
advertising method available to start
participating in online newsgroups,
mailing lists, and forums.
You don’t directly advertise in any of
these groups. You participate in the
discussions and allow your small signature
file to appear at the bottom of the
messages you post. If you post good
comments and participate in the discussions,
then you will quickly build a good reputation
and will generate traffic and sales at your
web site.
Newsgroups: http://www.dejanews.com
Forums: http://www.forumone.com
Mailing Lists: http://www.liszt.com
7. Make a Special Offer
If you have built up an opt-in email list
(as in number two above), then you can run
a special members only sale or special
offer. Only current members will get these
discount prices or an added bonus that you
can create or purchase wholesale.
You could also do a customer’s only sale.
Send out an email to everyone who has
purchased something from you in the past
offering them a new special product at a
discount price or other bonuses added to
current products you sell. Nothing will
produce income faster for a business than
to contact their previous customers with
a special offer.
8. Create a Point-Of-Sale Upsell
This technique can usually increase your
web site profits by 10% to 20% immediately
the moment you put it in place. It is also
very simple to put in place. Once someone
orders a product from you, have the thank
you page on your web site which comes up
show several other products or services
that you have available for immediate
purchase at a special discounted price.
You will find that often 10% to 25% of your
customers will immediately take this
opportunity to purchase the other product
at the special price (maybe 10% off or
something similar).
Stores use this idea all the time. Look at
all the small items like magazines, candy,
etc. that they pack at the checkout counters.
How often do you pick up something else
you didn’t need just because it was there
and you were already in a buying mood?
9. Set Up an Affiliate Program
The king of affiliate programs is Amazon
with their group of over 300,000 affiliates.
While you don’t want or need this large of
a number to be successful, think about what
it would be like to have 1,000 to 5,000
people eagerly selling your products and
services for you with a small share of the
profits.You can promote one of ours at
http://oraifite.com/affiliate-xfactor
If you don't want to have to deal with any
CGI script of any software to run the
affiliate program, then you can have it
outsourced. Companies such as Clickbank not
only take orders for electronic products,
but they will also run your affiliate
program for you. Many of the other online
processing services are now following
their example.
You should be able to sign up 300 to 500
new affiliates for a good paying program
in less than a month by using the
Affiliate Announce program at
http://www.affiliate-announce.com/
10. Spread a Virus
If you haven’t heard of viral marketing yet,
then you must have been hiding in a cave
somewhere. For many, it is considered the
ultimate online marketing technique. How
else would a company such as Hotmail.com
grow to over 40 million users while spending
next to nothing in ad costs? ICQ quickly
spread itself around the Internet without
having an ad budget.
Viral marketing basically entails created
something for free that others will pass
around for you. It could be as simple as
a free report or a free ebook, or as
complicated as creating a unique software
program to be passed around.
11. Send an Online Press Release
The quickest way to generate ten thousand
hits or more immediately to your web site
at very little cost is to send out an
online press release. All it takes is one
mention in a newspaper, magazine, radio
program, or TV show to drive more traffic
to your site in the next 24 hours than you
will through all of your other promotions
for the next month.
Successful entrepreneurs make it a habit to
regularly send out press releases about any
new benefits that they offer to their
customers. This used to be cost prohibitive
through the cost of postal mail and long
distance faxing. Now, you can send out the
press releases by email or pay only $200 or
so to have them sent out for you. Two hundred
dollars could never buy you a write-up in a
magazine, but a press release could
potentially give you dozens.
12. Send Out Articles to Ezines
Here is another zero cost strategy for
selling your products or services. Write
up a good article with valuable information
in it (you could even use our simple article
writing strategy) and submit it to the
ezines in your niche market. If your article
is well done, you will find that much of
the time it will be the featured article
in many of them.
This is better than having a featured ad
in an ezine (and you know how I feel about
those)!
13. Start an eBay Auction
This idea won’t work for every business,
but it could be a significant source of
income and traffic for your web site. Over
40,000 powersellers currently sell $2,000
or more per month on eBay (all the way up
to $500,000 a month for a few of them).
All you have to do is go over to eBay and
find out what products are HOT sellers...
If yours is one of the hot topics, then you
could have a built in money and traffic
generator for your site at almost no cost
whatsoever...
