Problem 2: Not Understanding the “Point of Overwhelm”

The fact is I know exactly where I’m going with my business. I’m only interested in ideas that will get me there faster, or enhance what I’m already doing by making it easier or more enjoyable.

Learning how to use social media marketing from scratch will make the process longer, not shorter. Sure, people make millions off of it. But I’m not going to pretend there isn’t a massive learning curve to it.

There is.

One I don’t want to attempt, because I’d have to completely reinvent my business to incorporate it.

Not for me.

But most people at seminars leave with pages and pages of notes, almost a whole notebook full. I used to be one of them. You know how many times I’ve used notes like that?

Twice.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Do we really do anything with the notes when we get home? So why clutter up your life anymore?

There is a point of overwhelm.

That’s when you have too much noise in your head. That’s usually caused by trying to take in 20 hours of content in three days. 20 condensed hours covering thousands of hours of experience.

When you leave yourself open to all possibilities, you end up choosing none. If I were starting over again from scratch, here’s what I’d do.

I’d go to the seminars until I heard a presentation that completely blew me away and got me excited.

Then, if that speaker had a course, I’d buy.

Then, I’d lock myself in the hotel room for the rest of the seminar. I’d devour that information.

By the end of the seminar, I’d already have an action plan on using that information, and have already completed several steps in it.

That means no more attending any other presentations. I’d only break at night to go network with other people, to develop mutually prosperous relationships for helping each other achieve our goals.

If I was too shy to network, then I’d just stay in the hotel room and act, act, act.

By the flight home, I’d have already put in 25 hours of work into my new internet business.

The momentum would them carry over to when I got home. With all my spare time, I’d know exactly what I should be doing. And that’s all I would be doing.

That’s not sexy though.

In fact, it kind of sounds like hard work, doesn’t it? That’s because it is…in a relative sense. You’re going to have to dig in for a bit. But trust me. My work days are very easy these days.

I don’t have to answer to someone else and I don’t have to put up with idiots.

It was totally worth those few months of solid, dedicated, action taking.

Here’s how you beat “the point of overwhelm”. First realize it exists. Second, whenever you feel overwhelmed, stop thinking. Overwhelm only comes from thinking too much.

What do you do instead of think?

Take action. Just go with something. Anything is better than staying in a state of overwhelm.

“Is This Online Information Marketing Business Model Right For You? – Step 3″

In these series of articles I’m writing, I want to specifically talk about the 8 Steps to Starting Your Own Online Information Marketing Business. Because this is by far one of the only types of businesses out there that is still generating millions of dollars and doing it via the internet.

Now when I say develop new streams of revenue, I’m not talking about adding one or more network marketing type businesses to your belt so you just have more to sell that may or may not be at all related to the type of business you’re already in. Not that there’s anything wrong with network marketing models but I just wanted to make that distinction; I’m not talking about that kind of income stream.

I’m talking about leveraging your expertise, knowledge, systems, services, information, etc. into products and services you can create basically one time and then sell over and over again via the internet.

If you’re already in an information marketing business you still may want to pay attention because I can almost guarantee that you will be negligent in one, two or even maybe three of the steps I plan to cover. Changing these things in your business could generate 10’s of 1,000’s of dollars in your pocket if you tweak a few things.

We know millions of people are still spending money. The question is how do you get a piece of that pie?

Well, Step 3 in this process is Figuring Out What to Sell and How to Price It.

Previously in step 2 I talked about choosing the business model that fits the type of lifestyle you want to lead. So after doing that there will be specific types of products, services or programs that fit that model (others will not).

So, what will you sell?

- Will you sell yourself and your time? Will you sell hourly, monthly or annual coaching or consulting services, packages or programs?

o If so, how much will you charge per hour? per month, etc.?

o Will you definitely charge “what you’re worth” or will you charge less thinking that people won’t pay what you think you are worth? Be careful undercharging or under valuing yourself. I say you charge what you’re worth and then find the people who agree and will pay you that fee.

o What is included in your services – call in hours, 1on1 calls, group Q&A calls, in person meetings, emailing, critiquing, resources?

o What can you also offer as a bonus to get people to sign up?

- Will you sell your information and expertise? You can put almost anything you know about into an information marketing product these days. Of course you do want to make sure people want what you’re selling so doing surveys and research first is critical.

o You can write an article, read it on a teleclass for a product, then record it too and you have an audio recording or CD. Transcribe the call and edit with the article and maybe beef up a bit and you have the ebook to go with the CD!

o Or record yourself talking about a topic, transcribe it and you create the product – it can be that simple.

o There are numerous other ways to create products to sell – talk to me for more ideas!!

o So, how much is your expertise worth? Well, look around at other similar products, compare price and content then start somewhere and possibly test out different prices or survey an audience to see what they would spend. Typically for an information marketing product you can charge 10 times the amount it actually costs to produce if you’re selling a hard copy product. If you’re selling a digitally delivered product, you can do it for less and focus on volumn sales.

- Will you hold live events, retreats, workshops, seminars or other in person meeting? You can sell those one by one or in a series and if you record those or videotape those then you have a home study kit!

o Pricing for events is hard to generalize. Some bigger 3+ day events typically go for 00, others can go for less. It depends on your goals of your event and what else you have to sell at the event too – where else you can make money….

- You can do a combination of these things too; I do them all! But you do typically want to start with ONE thing first, then add to it and so on. Now, granted you can’t just plop a webpage up or blog and think people will come and buy right away. You still have to set up systems, your support team, build a responsive list and manage ongoing marketing campaigns for any of these things to sell properly.

I’ve done this and taught hundreds of my clients how to do this and you can do it too. I’d love to show you how!!

When I changed my entire business model to this information marketing model I immediately got back 50 hours per week that I was spending working on all my client’s work or busywork that I now spend on my own business and personal development.

There are 5 more steps to starting your own Online Information Marketing Business and so I will bring you more later…..

Now IS THE TIME to take action in your business. It’s time to think bigger, dream bigger, make bigger goals and take bigger leaps of faith in order to truly get the business and life of your dreams.

Problem 1: Not Realizing it’s ALL About Making Money

We had just gotten back from dinner. One of the attendees there showed me his website. The first question I asked was “How much money is this website making you?”

He stuttered. He stammered. He started to explain that this website was more about SEO than making money.

Wrong. It’s all about making money. If you’re doing something that isn’t making you money, stop it.

Now, understand this. It’s okay to admit you don’t make any money. Time and again people lied to me telling me they were making ‘a few thousand’ a month (or whatever), but their body language told otherwise.

And that’s a huge problem. They equate making money or not with their ego.

Better to admit you aren’t making money now than to try to hide it. What message is that sending to your unconscious? It’s sending a message that it’s okay and excusable to continue with your current behavior.

And if you’re goal is to make money, then it is not excusable.

I do not think less of a person who isn’t making any money online. I do think less of a person who doesn’t want to admit it though, or who lies about it. The fact is, I can’t really help those people because their ego will get in the way.

It’s when you make it excusable to do stuff that doesn’t make you money, that’s when the problems occur. You’re justifying behavior that is counter productive to your end goal.

Jim Rohn says “affirm the truth” and I agree. It’s only when you look at the situation with accurate thinking can you formulate a plan based in reality. Otherwise, you’ll come up with excuses.

People are either really good at making money or really good at making excuses, but never good at both.

Pick one.

3 Simple Solutions For Online Marketing Information Overload

When you realize the potential for growing your business using online marketing, the next step is to learn what to do and how to do it.  This is where most people get stuck.

The good news is there is a plethora of free information on the internet about online marketing strategies.  The bad news is there is a plethora of free online marketing information on the internet, which, for most people, can quickly lead to information overload.

2. Get organized. Setup a file folder for each different strategy such as social networking, online video, PPC, article directories, etc.  Create the same directory structure in your email system.  Setup a physical binder with identical tabs. When you get valuable information, file it in the appropriate folder for easy retrieval in the future.  Print out the important information and put it in your binder.  Now when you need information on a specific topic you know where to find it.

3. Just do it. You don’t have to be perfect.  Read carefully because this is the most important step. Pick one online marketing method, and put it into practice.  Focus on this method and make it your highest priority.  Once you have it mastered you can then add a second method.  Prioritize tasks related to generating income at the top of your task list, and only spend time wandering around on the internet AFTER you have completed your income producing actions for the day and only if you have enough willpower to stop after a specific amount of time.

Information Marketing: Using Bonuses to Entice Upgrades

Membership upgrades are a helpful way to gain more profits for the products you give. I have two strategies that can help with getting the interest you need to add your upgrades.

As the President of the Information Marketing Association, I host monthly coaching calls for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business.  Here is a question from Doran in British Columbia, Canada about using bonuses to encourage members to upgrade. Since this is a common question, I decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

Offering different levels of membership for your product is a good way to get people to want to pay more to view what your products may offer. Bringing some super bribes into the mix to get them to upgrade to the higher levels will help your business bring in more profits by offering more products or services more a higher level of support. Here are two reasons why this offer would help your company’s profits increase.

There are two primary reasons why people want to upgrade their membership to a higher level. The first one is the offer of a big bonus. If you are offering much more product for just a little more money, your members will see the benefit in getting more for you money. The second reason members upgrade is to find out exactly what is at the next level that they might want.  Members will ask themselves, “What is at the next level that I really, really want?”

An important factor to consider is scarcity.  If you only offer a certain amount of bonuses, and tell your members, it is only available to the first so many of people that respond the interest and response to the offer will increase. Using the element of limited value can help encourage your members to respond right away to the offer so that they may obtain the benefits before the benefits run out.  By offering bribes, your business memberships will have more interest if you focus on using more products for the money and utilize the element of scarcity.

There have never been greater, more diverse, more lucrative opportunities for everyone—experienced, successful entrepreneurs to rank beginners—in the field of information marketing. If you can name a topic, there is a market for providing information about it. People buy information about almost everything—from hobbyist topics like dog training, to business topics like how to sell over the telephone, to self-improvement topics like fitness walking. The key is to find a responsive market and then package information that customers want in convenient forms such as DVD’s, books, eBooks, CD’s, magazines, websites, teleseminars, webinars, coaching programs, seminars, and conferences.  Watch a free video revealing several info-marketers created their products and became infopreneurs at www.Info-Marketing.org.

Information Marketing: Taking the Next Step After a Seminar or Conference

As an Information Marketer, it is important to know when it is right to take the next step.  During a conference or seminar, you have the best possible situation to present that step.  You already know that if the people have devoted their time and money to listen to you, then they are genuinely interested in going forward.  They just want to see how the infopreneur is going to put the information out there. They all want to know what they are going to get out of the information.  So make them want more.

As the president of the Information Marketing Association, I host a monthly coaching call for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business. Here is a question from Bill Goff in Alabama. Bill’s question is in regards to a seminar where he is offering a variety of different aspects.  Since this is a common question, I have decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

When designing a conference or seminar, it is important that you design it so that there is a comfortable atmosphere for your viewers.  Remember, they will be sitting there for many hours on end.  You will additionally want to plan an opportunity for a social session for the viewers.  This will allow them to ask one-on-one questions and that provides the ability for you to gather more information on what they are looking for in your program.

The reason why you will want to do this is to break the monotony.  You do not want your viewers to fall asleep in their chairs.  You want them to be excited about what the information is going to do for them.

During your seminar or conference, let them know that you have an exciting prospect for them, but space is limited.  This will give them an opportunity to get more excited and fight for those limited spaces. Be sure that you mention this opportunity multiple times to remind them.  Remember, the average person needs to hear something three times before it cements into their minds.

When the time is right, you can present the coaching plan or the next level in the plan.  Be sure to let them know what to expect from you and how you are going to go about the process.  If done correctly, you will have the results you are looking for.  Additionally, be sure to address the one-on-one questions they have provided.  People love to know that you have honestly listened to them.

There have never been greater, more diverse, more lucrative opportunities for everyone- experienced, successful entrepreneurs to rank beginners-in the field of information marketing. If you can name a topic, there is a market for providing information about it.

Information Marketing: Creating High Value Products in Limited Time

When you are short on time and money, generating a high value product to sell to a few clients is a way to generate some fast cash. The good thing is you are only limited by the quality of the product or service you provide.

As the President of the Information Marketing Association, I host a monthly coaching call for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business.  Here is a question from Nina in Las Vegas, Nevada about transforming online newsletters into a mailing.  Since this is a common question, I decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

Being pressed for time is a common occurrence in our day to day lives. I have a lot of people tell me, “Robert, I can’t imagine how you get all this done.” If this is how you feel about your own business, what your feeling is very normal and it will only get worse as your business grows. You will discover that there will be a lot more opportunities than you will be able to fulfill.

The first recommendation I have for those of you who have very little time to work with, is to create a product or program with a high transaction value. Rather than having a 50 dollar product that you are trying to market to 300 people, try and create a product that is somewhere between 0 and ,500 that you market to 10 or 15 people. It is much easier to make an actual difference in your life by having 10 people paying ,500 a month than it would be trying to find 500 people paying 0 a month to have the same effect on your business income.

You don’t have to worry about the price you charge for your high value product. There are a lot of service providers who make a lot less money than their clients do, but they still charge the price for their service. The only barrier to what you can charge is how much you can deliver for your customers. If you’re able to deliver 0 worth of value, even if it’s the first 0 you’ve ever gotten, that’s still 0 worth of value to your customer. There is no one who will be checking your tax return to see whether it is the only 0 or if it is one of many.

Information Marketing: Setting a Price for Your Product

When you’re new to an industry without a lot of experience or credibility, determining a price for the service you are providing can be a tricky procedure. Luckily, there are three secrets to charging more for your products.

As the President of the Information Marketing Association, I get questions from info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business in our members’ forum.  Here is a question from one of our members in Las Vegas, Nevada about how to charge more for your product even with limited experience.  Since this is a common question, I decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

The first secret to charging more for your product, is simply that, charge more.  You should avoid selling yourself cheap because it ruins your ability to over-deliver for your clients and limits how much you can do for marketing. What you think you can charge, you may be able to multiply it several times. You have to make sure you always over deliver on your promises, but don’t make promises for cheap prices. All that does is over extend yourself and create stress in your life.

The second secret for charging more is finding the right niche. Rather than trying to be the general guru in marketing, be the person who generates traffic to websites and websites that generate leads within niches.  Try and think about what industries have money and are willing to pay for leads, and what industries your best customers are with. Specialize and get an understanding of a certain type of customer and then you’ll never have to worry about competitors again.

The third secret to charging more is to generate more leads yourself. The reason people can charge more is because they are marketing more.  They have more people coming to their websites and that increases their chances that someone will show up and jump at the chance to hire them.  For you, this means finding out what you can do to increase the flow of your best customers coming to your website.  You have to decide what you can offer them to come and what you can offer that will get them engaged.

Always remember, it’s not about you or even about your product; it’s all about your customer.  What secrets, insights or problems you have solved they desperately need and want.  Once you know that, it’ll be a lot easier to deliver what they want and charge premium prices.

Here are 16 more copywriting guidelines that go a bit deeper. These are just guidelines. 1. Remember, Benefits come first, then features – Features are the things about your product or service: like It has 300 horsepower, or it contains 15 special vitamins. Or Open 24hours Benefits are inherently about the prospect. The things he or she will get if they get your product or use your service. So when you talk about benefits, you’re talking about how the prospect will lose weight, get more energy, re-grow his hair, make money, save money, or find a way to kill his mother-in-law without getting caught. The secret of the most effective copy is that it leads with benefits, and validates with features. 2. Just speaking in the prospects language and focusing on the benefits to him or her is about 70% of effective copy. Yet most copywriters don’t do even this. This stems from most people’s misunderstanding of benefits. They think a 300 horsepower engine is a benefit. But it’s not. Fast acceleration and a feeling of exhilaration is the benefit. They believe the fact a business is 25 years old is a benefit. It’s not. The fact that the business has survived many storms and will likely be around to deliver service and honor a warranty is a benefit. It’s critical that you really understand the difference between these two things. 3. Create a compelling offer by telling the whole story using word pictures, metaphors or stories to highlight the problem they have, or the solution your …

What is Internet Marketing?

Internet marketing is still a complete mystery to a large majority of Internet users. For many users, internet marketing is seen as some foreign area of the web, populated with silly get-rich-quick schemes and unsavory characters ready to rip off the innocent and uninformed consumer at the click of a mouse.

In reality, Internet marketing is populated mainly with hard working professionals promoting and selling high quality brand products by many of the world’s Top 500 companies.

Worldwide there are now over a billion Internet users, representing one large global consumer base or marketplace. The total amount of goods sold online has been steadily increasing each year as the Internet gains in both popularity and familiarity. Studies have shown people shop online because of lower prices, a wider selection of products, easier comparison shopping, and many just prefer not having to travel to stores to make a purchase.

Still Internet marketing has gotten a raw deal.

If you mention to any group of professionals that you’re an Internet Marketer and that you work full time on the Internet… you will receive some very skeptical looks and more than one arched eyebrow of disbelief.

Regardless of this lingering skepticism, Internet marketing has become a viable alternative for many disgruntled professionals dissatisfied with their working hours or conditions. It has become a viable alternative for many people from all walks of life. From the college student to the bored housewife to the retired doctor… all are enjoying a part time or full time income from the comfort of their homes.

And since the Internet is now practically available to everyone, anywhere in the world – Internet marketing is a level playing field. There are many forms of Internet marketing. There are many online business models you can follow. There are countless ways to earn a good honest income from the Internet. Which path you take will be largely determined by research, work habits, and the time you are willing to put forth.

Here’s a quick rundown of the most popular forms of Internet Marketing:

1. The Brick and Mortar Store Online. Most major companies and retail stores have created online versions of their brick and mortar businesses. Even if consumers don’t buy online, many use these sites for gathering product information before buying in the real world. A factor many savvy businesses are exploiting in their overall marketing strategies.

2. Online Services. Many service industries have moved online, everything from travel to banking to dating! Again, the Internet can be a profitable extension for any service company.

3.Internet Gurus… Internet marketing has a whole history of pioneers who have forged the methods and techniques of marketing online – opt-in lists, mini-sites, article marketing, pay-per-click advertising, joint ventures… a brief history populated with such names as John Reese, Marlon Sanders, Ralph Wilson, Yanik Silver, Corey Rudl, Ken Evoy and countless others.

A whole new industry has grown around ‘How-to’ market online, info products, workshops and web seminars – teaching people how to market on the Internet. A marketer creating his own product can prove very productive – as seen by John Reese’s 2004 launch of Traffic Secrets, which earned over a million dollars in one day. (Without a penny of paid advertising!)

4. Online Advertising and Pay-Per-Click advertising such as those offered by Google Adwords and others, presents another viable marketing route. Keywords (the exact words typed into a search engine) fuel a large portion of the web’s activity. Keyword marketing has become a major driving force behind most of the economic transactions on the web. This is a very lucrative sector for those Internet marketers who know exactly what they’re doing.

Then there is the whole section of SEO experts and consultants who command high prices for positioning companies or products in the top positions on the major search engines. Acquiring organic Top 10 search results will greatly determine the profitability of your online product or company.

5. Affiliate Marketing. One of the least understood, yet one of the most profitable forms of Internet marketing is affiliate marketing. An online marketer can join any affiliate program and promote its products or services on the Internet. You market the products, find customers for the company and receive a commission for each sale you make from your marketing efforts. These commissions can run anywhere from 2% to over 75%. One affiliate click can earn you anywhere from a few cents to several hundred dollars.

Major third party affiliate programs or companies such as Commission Junction, Clickbank, LinkShare, Amazon, Shareasale… acts as a brokerage or go-between representing thousands of Top Brand companies such as Sony, Apple, Dell… to online affiliate marketers. Marketers can join a program such as Commission Junction or LinkShare and be able to promote and market hundred of top quality products or services online. They can consolidate their affiliate marketing through these third party programs.

Perhaps the most common business model for the majority of online marketers is the last example, or a combination of advertising and affiliate sales. Many work-from-home professionals have adopted this business model. They have created a site or sites on the topic that interests them and of which they have or have gained some expert knowledge.

Once these sites become established and gathering a large amount of targeted web traffic each day, making a nice income can only be a matter of putting the Google Adsense code on their pages and placing a few appropriate affiliate links on their sites.

The more traffic these marketers deliver to their sites, the more income they earn. The more unique content they create, the more income they earn. The more web sites they design, the more income they earn.

What many people outside of the web marketing field fail to realize, the Internet is a 24/7/365 business. The Internet is always on and working for you. It is automatically producing income for you 24 hours of the day, while you’re sleeping, while you’re enjoying a nice meal with friends, or even while you’re on vacation.

Internet marketing can provide you with a lifestyle that is totally liberating – you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can be your own boss, set your own hours and work from the comfort of your own home. Plus your whole online Internet business can be automated so it basically runs itself.

Internet marketing is totally flexible. You can adjust your workload to suit your own work habits. Internet marketing is scalable, once you have learned how to make your first dollar; it is only a simple matter of repeating and scaling up what you did to earn that dollar. Computers and the Internet make it just as easy to handle a thousand sales as it is to handle one sale.

As Internet marketing becomes better known, it will gradually earn more and more respect. It will become a well recognized profession that many will aspire to and follow as a life long career. Mainly because Internet marketing will give you the freedom rarely seen in any other profession.

It offers you mobility, a high standard of living, and a working environment that can’t be beat. It gives you the freedom to follow your own interests and hobbies; all the while turning those interests into viable revenue streams that supports the lifestyle of your own choosing.

When it is all said and done , earning a living just doesn’t get any better than this.

Is it really possible to beat Google?

Big companies with little Internet Marketing experience have bid up the cost per click price of Google Adwords to the point where it almost doesn’t make sense for many businesses to play the search game.

Internet Marketers are frustrated by constantly being in Google’s cross hairs. There has to be a better way.

If you are looking for a low cost way to get around the cost per click trap, then Ryan Deiss’ FaceBook Advertising Training may be right for you.

Information Marketing: Converting Online Newsletters into a Mailing Address

In marketing, a physical document is usually a more personal and direct manner of sending information to a client. When you have an online database of clients, it is often useful to convert your online marketing into a database of mailing addresses.

As the President of the Information Marketing Association, I host a monthly coaching call for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business.  Here is a question from Ted in LaHoya, California about transforming online newsletters into a mailing.  Since this is a common question, I decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

            Back in 2006, the internet information marketers began to realize that although they had a great run sending out emails, the lists they used were waning. There were a lot of marketers who decided to try and convert their online clients to a mailing list. One way to help encourage online clients to give out their mailing address is to create a product that will interest them. For example, one information marketer who did this was Chris Pizo. He came up with the audio program that he knew his clients would just love and he offered to send it out to them for free.  Of course it didn’t encourage all of them, but it encouraged a huge number to go ahead give him their full address to send the free CD.  It doesn’t have to be a free CD though. It could be a free CD or a free report.  It could be any thing you would like.  But then it becomes something that is kind of a headline for one of your next emails.  It is all about how this free product is going to be available and all they have to do to get it, is to click on a link and give you their mailing address.

            You don’t have to give up on your email clientele. It really is not all that expensive to reformat your offline newsletter and stick it online, even if it’s brief or converted into articles. Regardless, you are going to want to continue tending to your email list. Email does have a much lower perceived value, and a much lower emotional attachment than something received in the mail. In the end, the goal is to create an emotional response, which is really trust. This is accomplished much easier through mailings rather than email.

There have never been greater, more diverse, more lucrative opportunities for everyone—experienced, successful entrepreneurs to rank beginners—in the field of information marketing. If you can name a topic, there is a market for providing information about it. People buy information about almost everything—from hobbyist topics like dog training, to business topics like how to sell over the telephone, to self-improvement topics like fitness walking. The key is to find a responsive market and then package information that customers want in convenient forms such as DVD’s, books, e-books, CD’s, magazines, websites, teleseminars, webinars, coaching programs, seminars, and conferences.

What Are the Different Types of Affiliate Marketing Programs

Affiliate marketing programs has never been as popular before as it is today. Why? There can be a number of reasons. The most probable reason, however, could be the fact that the benefits of affiliate marketing have become clearer to a lot of people now than they were before.

Today, both the merchants and the affiliates can see clearly that affiliate marketing can work for both of them. The merchant sees affiliate marketing today as the chance to advertise their products at a lower cost. The affiliates, on the other hand, sees affiliate marketing as an easy way of earning profits online by doing what they like most, and that is by creating websites.

Just as the popularity of affiliate marketing has shifted into greater heights, so has the people’s outlook about it changed. No longer is affiliate marketing considered today as an alternative method for the merchant to advertise his products, or as a source of additional income for the affiliates. For merchants and affiliates alike, affiliate marketing is now considered as a main source of profits and revenues.

So the question now is what type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? Are all affiliate marketing programs the same? Are the benefits the same? Or are there affiliate marketing programs that work better than the others?

There are actually different types or classes of affiliate marketing, and the number of types will depend on how one will classify them. The most basic affiliate marketing programs, however, falls under two categories: pay-per-click (PPC), and pay-per-performance (PPP).

Pay Per Click (PPC)

PPC is the most popular type of affiliate marketing for affiliates with small websites, and probably the easiest way for them to earn money. In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant’s banner or text ads. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant’s site. However, typical fees for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually not exceeding a dollar for every click.

Pay Per Performance (PPP)

PPP affiliate marketing is the most popular among merchant and is also the most lucrative type for the affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an actionthat is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something from the merchant’s site or when the visitor becomes a lead. This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, for commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually comes in the range of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.

Pay-per-performance affiliate marketing can be further classified into two popular types: pay-per-sales (PPS) and pay-per-lead (PPL).

oPay Per Sale (PPS)

In a pay-per-sale type of affiliate marketing, the merchants pay the affiliate a certain fee whenever the visitor he has referred to the merchant’s site actually buys something from the merchant’s site. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But no matter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher than the fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click affiliate program.

oPay Per Lead (PPL)

The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a slight variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their company to grow. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant’s site fills up an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.

Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant’s site.

Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing

These types of affiliate marketing are based on the different levels or tiers in the affiliate network by which payments are made. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic he has referred to the merchant. All the previously mentioned affiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS< PPL, and PPC) fall under the single-tier classification.

In two-tier affiliate marketing programs, the affiliate is not only paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant’s site, but also on every traffic or sales referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his recommendation. Multi-tier affiliate marketing works the same way, although the affiliate gets additional commission for a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in the affiliate network.

Residual Income Affiliate Marketing

In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid not only once for every customer he has referred to the merchant’s site. Rather, the affiliate is also paid whenever the customer he has referred returns to the site and purchase another product. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is based on either sales percentage commission or fixed fee basis.

The different affiliate marketing types would virtually work differently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each would generally have their own list of benefits. Which type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? It is not really for me to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type of affiliate marketing program will suit your needs and characteristics best.

How Do I Become a Successful Freelance Copywriter?

Many new internet business endeavours disappear very quickly, whilst others appear to be doing well only to grind to a halt. Statistics from the Small Business Administration confirm this by telling us that only a third of all new businesses eventually turn a profit. This information is not intended to scare you, because you do not have to be one of those statistics. All you have to do to join thousands of other successful copywriters, is to avoid common internet business start-up pitfalls. Here are some guidelines to ensure your online copywriting business success.

Developing the right mindset

1. In order to become a successful online copywriter you have to develop the right mindset. The copywriting business is not a get rich quick scheme. It won’t make you a millionaire overnight. But if you follow a few relatively simple steps you could set yourself on the road to financial independence and possibly great wealth!

Action Planning

2. According to online marketing guru Steve Wagenheim, in an ereport entitled The Mindset Of The Successful Marketer , 95% of the people who try to run an online business fail. This is because, they have no plan and they have no idea of what they are doing. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, and this could spell disaster for your earning potential as a copywriter.

3. Avoid this problem by focusing on a particular area of copywriting. Nick Usborne writes in The Top Ten Mistakes Made by Freelance Writers and Copywriters that it is “far better that you establish a clear niche, an area in which you specialise and then become an expert”.

4. In order to decide on which area of copywriting to specialise in you may want to refer to sites which provide detailed information on the different types of copywriting opportunities available. Business Planning

5. All successful online business owners have developed a realistic business plan for their ventures. Business planning will give you a clear sense of direction and enable you to measure success within your copywriting business.

Goalsetting

7. Using Robert Bly’s calculations in 10 Ways to make a 6-Figure Income as a Freelance Writer, you will have to make £120 a week for 50 weeks. To achieve your weekly target you might plan to do two assignments a week at £60 each. Focus on Quality

8. Dr. Ken Evoy, creator of Site Sell Inc emphasises the importance of offering your customer high quality information. In doing so, you become a trusted expert and many customers will want to work with you. As a result, your income will actually soar. Once the word gets round you will establish credibility for yourself and you will be able to command higher fees.

Market Your Services

9. Go to copywriting internet forums such as Google groups and Yahoo Groups. Post an ad stating that you are offering a free copywriting service. Some online marketers will give your free service a try. Make sure you obtain testimonials for each project you complete.

10. Build a website to promote your copywriting services. Assemble the free copywriting assignments into a portfolio and provide a statement reflecting your work. Don’t forget to include the testimonials received from your customers.

You can drive traffic to your site in many ways:

* Consider delivering informative content for free article directories such as Go Articles and Ezine Articles. Don’t forget to include a hook to your website.

For someone who is jaded of going through a grueling eight-hour work routine, business promotion internet affiliate marketing online offers a great real home based business opportunity to earn big without wearing himself out—physically, mentally and emotionally.

In business promotion internet affiliate marketing online, both parties are benefited since as the merchant earns from each item sold, the affiliate marketing entrepreneur likewise earns an affiliate commission.

If you are interested in business promotion internet affiliate marketing online but are finding it hard to look for webmaster affiliates programs, affiliate marketing entrepreneurs or merchants, you can start by checking sites of various affiliate marketing networks. Many webmaster affiliates programs in the Internet are being offered through a webmaster affiliates program network, which acts as a link between the merchants and individual affiliate marketing entrepreneurs.

Among the most popular is LinkShare, it is through it that merchants and affiliate marketing entrepreneurs meet. LinkShare maintains and manages affiliate marketing programs for a great number of merchants with various kinds of businesses, products and services. It also has over 6,000 affiliate site members in its affiliate marketing network. It gains profit from the set-up fees, monthly account maintenance fees and affiliate commissions.

Joining networks like LinkShare can be of great help in establishing your online home based affiliate marketing business. Whether you are a merchant or an affiliate marketing entrepreneur, you need to research well on your partners in order to choose the best for you.

LinkShare provides the facility of acquiring access to a large affiliate marketing network of advertisers (merchants) who offer their web affiliate programs to publishers (affiliates) who are willing to promote their products. In the same manner, it gives the merchants access to a large affiliate marketing network of affiliate marketing entrepreneurs who are searching for business promotion internet affiliate marketing online & high income business opportunities.

LinkShare is especially beneficial for an affiliate marketing entrepreneur in choosing his partners since he can find his options all in one location. It would be easier for him to compare products, affiliate commission rates and other benefits given by the merchant. The merchant usually just waits for interested affiliate marketing entrepreneurs to sign up in his affiliate marketing program but being in the network increases his real home based business opportunity to promote his products to a larger market, thus, maximizing his potential to gain huge profit.

To help you decide whether to use large affiliate networks such as LinkShare or not, let us try to look deeper into its positive and negative sides. The primary advantage of LinkShare to you as an affiliate marketing entrepreneur is convenience.

As earlier mentioned, you find different pieces of information about your choices simultaneously all in a single location, so you save time and effort looking for web affiliate programs or merchants.

So, what’s on the negative side? Although, it is indeed helpful to join business promotion internet affiliate marketing online networks such as LinkShare, there are some disadvantages, too.

For one, merchants offer lower affiliate commissions to affiliate marketing entrepreneurs who partner with them through the third party program network. This because they still have to pay for the use of service and the technology provided by LinkShare.

Direct partnership with the merchant cuts costs of advertising through the affiliate marketing network and so the affiliate has bigger potential to earn more. Moreover, it is possible that your payment may be delayed for a month or more since program networks would pay you only after the advertiser or the merchant has paid them.

Do you need to use LinkShare or other networks? It depends, actually. You can opt for direct partnership with the merchant, but this choice is not applicable all the time. There are a lot of merchandisers who offer their affiliate program only through affiliate program networks and thus, you have no choice other than joining the network to get into the affiliate marketing program.

So you are faced with “take it or leave it” situation. But LinkShare and other program networks are not that disadvantageous. After all, whether you join it or not, earning big would depend more on your promotional strategies and persistence.

Finally, LinkShare affiliate marketing network is another place for starting promoting web affiliate programs and earning money in a minute. Personally, there are a lot of quality webmaster affiliates programs waiting for you to tap-in.

How to Get Started Online Marketing

You have probably heard that many people are making money online. Perhaps you have also tried various attempts to make money on the internet. You might have tried various internet marketing techniques to sell a product in an effort to make money, to no avail. Many people do make serious money online. Unfortunately, many others give up, after wasting a lot of time and money with websites that do not work.

Internet marketing encompasses many online marketing strategies that you can learn. But even those who are experts at these strategies can have trouble making it online. They lack the coaching that is needed for internet marketing as well as the right product. According to internet guru, Alex Jeffreys, you have to not only have good coaching to make money online, but you also have to have a quality product that you are distributing. Otherwise, all of the mass mailings in the world will not help.

A great deal of online marketing involves direct response marketing. This is where you contact the prospective customer via email to tell them about your product and urge them to take action. There is an old saying that sales is a numbers game. This concept of contacting as many people as possible translates to building a list of prospects and then shooting them offers via email. The numbers game, however, does not work with online marketing. Sure, you should build a list and gather as much information in your email list as you can about your potential customers, but this alone will not allow you to succeed. The numbers game only works if you have the right product of value to sell, but savvy internet marketing skills to boot. In other words, you need a good email list that you are constantly building, a product that has value and that people will want to buy and a marketing plan. Once you have this, you can become successful in your efforts to make money online.

Instead of going at your online marketing sales alone, you are better off to get a coach who is successful in the online business that you want to create for yourself. Just as you would look for coaching and mentoring with any other type of job, you want to do the same when you start trying to make money online. It does not make sense for you to try to go at it alone in the competitive world of online marketing when you can get the help that you need from successful internet marketing coaches.

If you are tired of wasting your money trying to sell products that do not sell through newsletters and emails that are promptly deleted, your strategy is not working. You are better off to seek a new way of making money online by looking for a successful online coach. You can go from a successfool to being successful if you follow the tried and true pattern developed by those who have made it in the field by seeking out their guidance with your internet marketing plan.

Information Marketing: Working with Experts to Develop Products

When developing a successful business, one technique for going from making zero to making money is to enlist the help of an expert who already has some products and information and assist that expert in their marketing endeavor.

As the President of the Information Marketing Association, I host a monthly coaching call for info-marketers who have questions and are trying to launch their infopreneur business.  Here is a question from David in Dallas, Texas about working with an expert to create products.  Since this is a common question, I decided to prepare an article about this challenge to help you.

Deciding whether to work with an expert to create products for your company can be a difficult decision you make when looking at the profitability of your business. Ed O’Keefe answered a question on a recent call where someone asked him, “If you were to start over again in info marketing would you do it the same way” and his comment was, “Well not necessarily.”  Sometimes it can be more productive to sit back and be the behind-the-scenes marketer and let someone else be the guru. In other words, working with another person who happens to have the expertise in the field you are marketing and helping them get their knowledge marketed can be beneficial to your own business.  Finding an expert who can provide some help to you in developing products for your niche is often a useful venture, especially if the person your working with has good products and good training, but doesn’t spend the time on marketing. This way, the marketing can be done by you and the development can be done by the expert. 

It certainly is a good way to learn, because you can go from making zero to making money very quickly because the product is there and developed.  There’s a reputation already established by the expert you are working with. There are testimonials that you could use and it’s going to be a much quicker way to start.  The main concern is that after you’ve done all this work for the next two years making the expert and yourself a lot of money by generating customers, all of the sudden your value will appear to be much less, than it really is. Most people, after having somebody create a business for them especially when they haven’t done a whole lot of work at it, seem to think that they must be magic and that’s why it’s worked so well when in fact it is the partnership that has really been successful.  However, over and over again the reason why these relationships seem to break apart is that one of the partners thinks that they’re more important than the other.  That’s why it is important that when you create your agreement, you do so with the understanding that it possibly won’t last and give yourself an out clause that allows you to maybe keep the list. That’s the key to making it work long-term. 

But there’s no easier way for you to go from zero to making money than taking his advice and building some kind of joint venture relationships. There are lots of opportunities to find joint ventures.  There are a lot of people in different markets that are looking for opportunities and products to offer and there are great markets and great ways to move product for the person’s whose ambition you are marketing for. 

There have never been greater, more diverse, more lucrative opportunities for everyone—experienced, successful entrepreneurs to rank beginners—in the field of information marketing. If you can name a topic, there is a market for providing information about it. People buy information about almost everything—from hobbyist topics like dog training, to business topics like how to sell over the telephone, to self-improvement topics like fitness walking. The key is to find a responsive market and then package information that customers want in convenient forms such as DVD’s, books, e-books, CD’s, magazines, websites, teleseminars, webinars, coaching programs, seminars, and conferences.  Watch a free video revealing how several info-marketers created their products and became infopreneurs at www.Info-Marketing.org.

“How to Go From Being a Completely Broke Job-Seeker to Making N150,000 Every Single Month Working Less Than 3 Hours a Day”

Dear Friend,

If you are tired of being a job seeker.

If you are tired of trekking the streets of Lagos in search of a job.

If you don’t want to spend the rest of your life working like a slave in a job that doesn’t give you any personal satisfaction.

If you are tired of constantly being broke and living from hand-to-mouth

If you would like to make N150,000 every month working less than 3 hours a day.

If you want to be able to work wherever and whenever you want to.

If you would like to have more than enough free time to spend with your family and friends.

If you want to have the money to finally live the kind of life you deserve to live.

Then this may be the most important message you will ever come across.

Our Story

Our names are Oluwole Emmanuel and Ojumu Olaolu, and years ago we used to be two jobless and completely broke young men living from hand-to-mouth, with no idea where our next meal would come from.

We trekked the streets of Lagos looking for good jobs, all to no avail.

There were days when all we had to eat was a bowl of soaked garri.

We lived in constant fear that one day our landlord would lose patience with us and throw us out of our homes because of our unpaid 1 year+ house rent.

After unsuccessfully searching for good jobs, we worked at jobs we hated, in return for a totally inadequate salary that wasn’t even enough to take care of our basic necessities, all the while praying that some day, some how our situations would change.

After days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months and our situation still remained the same, it seemed as if all hope was lost and we were doomed to working at jobs we hated in return for a completely insufficient salary that wasn’t even enough to take care of our most basic necessities.

In a desperate effort to earn extra money to supplement our meagre salaries, we tried out every single money making system we could find, all to no avail. We tried Forex Trading, Stocks Trading, Network Marketing, we tried everything, but no matter what we did we always ended up losing far more money than we made.

Then a year ago when we had completely lost hope, and our situation was beginning to look totally bleak and hopeless . . .

Something Happened

We accidentally stumbled across an income system that completely changed our lives.

An income system so profitable that because of it thousands of people right here in Nigeria are living the kind of life they’ve always dreamed of living because of it.

An income system so profitable that right here in Nigeria, we’ve seen a formerly broke 19-year old who now makes close to N170,000 every single month, working less than 4 hours per day.

An income system so profitable we’ve seen a 31-year old polytechnic graduate who has never been an employee in his life yet makes more than N210,00 every month.

An income system so profitable a former music teacher made over N11,000 within 5 days of learning about it.

An income system so profitable we’ve seen a former delivery boy who now makes more money in 1 month than the boss who sacked him earns in 6 months.

An income system so profitable we’ve seen a university dropout who now makes more money than some of his former professors working only 2 – 3 hours a day.

An income system so profitable we’ve seen a 59-year-old grandmother who now makes more than N140,00 every month working only 30 – 60 minutes per day.

An income system so profitable a newly married couple made more than N60,000 within 1 week of learning about it.

Now, you might be asking, what is this amazing income system we accidentally discovered?

Well the income system we stumbled across that completely changed the course of our lives and the lives of countless other individuals right here in Nigeria is called Information Marketing..

You might be asking . . .

What is Information Marketing?

Well, Information Marketing has been called “one of the fastest and easiest way for an ordinary Nigerian to earn a good living working wherever and whenever he wants to” .

Because of this, more and more people all over Nigeria are going into Information Marketing full time.

It is estimated that in Lagos alone, over 45,000 people are into Information Marketing

Countless Nigerians, male and female, young and old are living lives of prosperity and peace of mind because they’ve learnt and mastered the secrets of making money with Information Marketing.

You’ve read some of the stories of people whose lives have been changed through the power of Information Marketing.

Stories including :

The formerly broke 19-year old who now makes close to N170,000 every single month, working less than 4 hours per day.

The newly married couple who made more than N60,000 within 1 week of learning about Information Marketing.

The university dropout who now makes more money than some of his former professors working only 2 – 3 hours a day.

The former music teacher who made more than N11,000 within 5 days of learning about Information Marketing

And the 31-year old polytechnic graduate who has never been an employee in his life yet makes over N210,00 every month, because he mastered the secrets of making money with Information Marketing.

Here’s what some people are saying about Information Marketing

“Information Marketing is the most profitable income opportunity in Nigeria today”,

Dr. Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase

The Publisher of Complete Sports &  Success Digest Extra.

“When I started information marketing, it took me only 3 weeks to make N106,500 from my N6,500 start up capital. No other business can offer such crazy returns. Believe me.”

L.B. Alex

“My experience as an information marketer has been amazing, starting with zero capital, today the story has changed. Infact I never wanted to do any other thing. I make more than enough money that I would rather employ than be unemployed. Information Marketing is great and interesting. Join our world!!!”

Bashorun Olakunle

You see, with Information Marketing . . .

You don’t need to have any kind of skill.

You don’t need to have any kind of prior experience

And you don’t need to be a university graduate, (there are thousands of people who are successfully making a very good living with Information Marketing who have never set foot in a University before)

If you have . . .

An Email address

A Bank Account

The Ability to Read and Write

Then you have everything it takes to start making money with Information Marketing.

Every single day countless people right here in Nigeria are making Thousands of Naira Daily through the Power of Information Marketing.

Now if you are expecting us to tell you that we are millionaires, sorry to disappoint you but we are not (at least not yet).

We are not millionaires

We don’t live in multi-million naira mansions,

And we don’t drive multi-million naira cars

We are just 2 ordinary Nigerians who used to be broke and jobless just 3 years ago, and who now and who now make a very good living thanks to Information Marketing, and to tell you the truth, we would rather make N390,000 a month and have peace of mind, than make N1 million a week and yet not be able to sleep at night.

After seeing honest, hardworking Nigerians working at jobs they don’t like in return for a meagre salary that can’t even put food on the table.

We Made a Decision

We decided to compile every single bit of knowledge we had about making money With Information Marketing into a guide.

A life where you can spend as much time as you want with your family and friends

A life where you can work wherever and whenever you want to.

A life where you have the money, freedom and time to do the things you enjoy doing

In order to make it even easier for you to get started with Information Marketing, we have also decided to package this guide as an ebook.

What Information Marketers Should Know About Merchant Accounts

If you’re involved in marketing information products on-line then there’s no disputing the need for you to accept credit cards in order to increase your overall sales. Typically in a retail environment your sales will increase anywhere from 15 to 40% when you have the ability to accept credit cards. This article is part 1 in a series of what information marketers should know about merchant accounts.

Visa and MasterCard account for over 90% of all credit card transactions, so the acceptance of those two card types is mandatory. Amex and Discover are the other two significant players, but account for only 5-7% of the market. If you’re selling higher priced information products acceptance of Amex is highly recommended.

There are four primary components involved in the processing of credit cards. The first is the actual card issuing entity, be it Visa, MasterCard, or other. The second is the company that sets you up to be able to accept credit cards, which is called the Merchant Account Provider. The third component needed for online processing of cards is a payment gateway, such as Authorize.net or Plug

Often they do not fully understand the business and make costly mistakes. Learn the concept of affiliate marketing, know how to be a profitable marketer. Many newbies ask what is the affiliate marketing business. My answer is to introduce them to this outline of affiliate marketing.

The affiliate network is composed of the group of affiliates and the group of merchants. Each appropriate group has their own function and role. Affiliate networks acts as a third party between the merchants and the affiliates. They provide the technology to deliver the merchants campaigns and offers. They also collect commission fees from the merchant and pay the affiliates. The networks being the middlemen and supply valuable services to the marketer and the affiliate. Clickbank or Commission Junction, to name two of the leading network groups. Yes, two leading avenues available to anyone who starts their business.

Affiliate marketing is a business venture effort between merchants and affiliates. As you see, there are two parties involved:

1. Merchants whom create the offer they have and financially set up their programs. Merchants are any website owner who maintains and operates the affiliate program. They acquire the middleman to keep records of their business and send the checks to the affiliates.

2. Affiliates are any website or blog owner who promote merchants affiliate program. This can be profitable if you understand the basics. I am teaching you the outline of the basics. This knowledge has taken me years to compile.

Affiliate marketing has proved to be a cost-efficient business. This measurable method of delivering long-term results in a home business atmosphere. Why you ask? Well, both the merchants and affiliates benefit from it. Merchants have links to the markets and customers without spending extra time searching. Banner ads on affiliate sites will produce interest for their products. This will also drive customers to merchants sites. There is no payment due to an affiliate until they gain financial results. The merchants also have the ability to decide the amount of payment. Merchants also decide the method of payment, which is earned from the commission type business. You as an affiliate will make percentages for each contact that joins the merchants program.

Affiliates will promote the merchants business. This is helpful because you do not need to spend time creating products and doing all the testing. Merchants have already done the math and accessed the trial and error of their creations. They have also spent the monies to get to this point. As an affiliate, you will get compensations for every customer, the merchant gains. This being your efforts to advertise the merchants business. Totally understand what the commission will be, expected payment method, and time involved in the agreement. Be careful to read the agreement completely, understand what is expected of you to gain your commission or percentage.

Affiliate marketing is an easy and low cost way to start a business. It is possible to generate a full time income through affiliate marketing. However, it will take a lot of hard work and dedication. Your understanding of the meaning of affiliate marketing will put you in a top notch position. Thus, giving you a better chance to succeed.

I promised you a basic outline of the affiliate marketing business. Not being led down the wrong avenues to get your business up and running profitably. I have purchased many programs, tutorials, and software from the top names in the business today. I had to work two years to sum up all of my information into a outline for you to follow. I will help you in the same way I have been helped. I was entirely lost in the beginning. I was constantly reading so much and being more and more confused. I tried so many offers being sent to me. I would stay up too late at night just trying to make some sense out of all of the knowledge I had bought. You will gain a fool proof plan and will not have to be scammed by one product after another.

I have one request of you, please stay organized. Keep track of everything you incorporate into your business, especially usernames and passwords. Without an organizational plan you will get so misled and make costly mistakes. I can tell you this because that is exactly what I did without being organized and dedicated to my business. Your business will give to you what you give to it. My motto is PRIDE, which I describe as P-Professional, R-Results, I-In, D-Daily, E-Efforts. You have to keep in mind that this will be your lifeline, so do a top notch job and be proud of what you have built, and the profits will come!

The 50 Biggest Mistakes Information Marketers Make – #1 No Upsells in Their Online Ordering System

Mistake #1 – No Upsells in Your Online Ordering System

Millions of dollars are left on the table every year by Internet merchants, especially information marketers, who are not offering their customers one or more additional products during the online ordering process. If you’re not taking full advantage of this most opportune time to sell your customers more of what you have to offer then you’re a member of this club. This is NOT the club that you want to be a member of.

If your product line contains only a single product then it makes it difficult to sell more of your own products or services to your customers. So find a complementary product or service from another supplier that you can sell via an affiliate program.

If you can’t bundle it in on your own order page (maybe it’s a digital product delivery direct from the author), then offer it on your online thank you page via an affiliate link to the other site.

Or, if your product or service is appropriate, offer an extended subscription at a reduced price or come up with other quantity discounts to get more money out of your customer’s pockets now. You can upsell (or cross sell) either more of your own product or service or someone else’s product.

I’ve seen scenarios where the upsell percentage has been as high as 90% on some products. That means 9 out of every 10 people who were offered the additional product or service took advantage of it. Obviously, that results in a very positive impact on your bottom line – at no additional sales cost.

I’ve also seen upsells work where the product being offered as the upsell was priced at more than 5 times the price of the original product. This is definitely not the norm – but is very impressive nonetheless. Anything you’re considering should be tested first to see what gets the best response, but what you can test is only limited by your own creativity.

Information marketing can be a very tricky business. There are lots of little mistakes that can trip you up. These mistakes can totally derail a project or, at the least, cause you to leave thousands and thousands of dollars on the table.

A lack of upsells during the online ordering process is just one of the many mistakes that you can make. Avoiding these mistakes is the key to building a successful information marketing empire.

Upsells are powerful. Use them every time when selling your information products.

Is This Online Information Marketing Business Model Right For You?

Now is NOT the time to sit around in your business holding on to your wallets and sitting frozen on what to do next. It’s time to TAKE ACTION! No, I’m not suggesting you have to spend a lot of money either, although if you’re really struggling or unsure of what to do, hiring a coach like me of course would be well worth the investment. What I want you to look at though is your current business model. Is it the same as it was 5 years ago (or more!)? If so, I would suggest you look at some opportunities and possibilities that are all around you to TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. I want to specifically talk about the 8 Steps to Starting Your Own Online Information Marketing Business. If you are just starting out in business then pay attention too because this online information marketing business model is working for tens of thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world. There are billions of dollars being made online RIGHT NOW even in this economy. People are still spending money. If the ones you’re talking to are not spending then it’s simple, you either need to talk to different people or create a product or service that people ARE BUYING right now. It can be that simple.
- No, you don’t have to know a lot about computers. – No, you don’t have to know how to design a website or blog. – No, you don’t need to travel all over the place meeting people. You can do this from your home with a computer. You want to surround yourself with people and mentors to support you in building, growing and maintaining this business because when it’s up and running and you’re marketing it effectively you will be able to work from anywhere in the world if you want to. The business literally can run itself with a little bit of automation and systematization set up. When I changed my entire business model to this model I immediately got back 50 hours per week that I was spending working on all my client’s work or busywork. I spent that extra time developing new products and services, marketing, thinking bigger, building relationships, coaching with my coaches and mastermind group and traveling to events or networking locally to fill my funnel. Most business owners that run traditional businesses or without this type of model don’t have the time in the day, week or even each month to be doing such tasks. You may not have time to work ON your business like you need to really see it grow and to make more money! So, where do you start? Brainstorming for one.
Get with other people or a coach that is doing this type of business and throw some ideas around. Determine if there’s a market for what you come up with and how the business will make a profit too; these things are often overlooked. Many people follow their passions first, start marketing or branding without even testing to see if anyone wants to buy what they’re offering or if they can even turn a good profit? Now IS THE TIME to take action in your business. It’s time to think bigger, dream bigger, make bigger goals and take bigger leaps of faith in order to truly get the business and life of your dreams.

Top 10 Reasons Why Information Marketing Is The Best Business On Earth

If you’re considering building a business for additional income, part-time or full time, I believe your best option is building an information marketing business. Here are my top reasons:

1) You have no limits on your income

With most other business the more time you spend, the more you earn. And because you have a limit on your time, you limit your income also.

When you build a profitable marketing system, every time you put in 1$ to marketing you make 2, 3, 5 or even 10 dollars. Spend more on marketing, and you earn more.

2) You have high profit margins.

When you buy an information you don’t pay for the cost of paper and ink, but for the positive impact that information might bring to your life.

How much would an day trader be willing to pay a winning stock tip? Thousands? Would he care if it is hand written on a napkin?

That’s the beauty of it. They can easily be sold for 10 times the cost.

3) You don’t have to create the product or be the expert yourself.

Do think it would be hard work to create a product?

Good news is, you don’t have to create the product your self. You can interview an expert. The recording is a product. You can also license other people’s products to resell.

The product is the easy part. The hard part is marketing.

4) Your business can run on autopilot, even while you sleep.

You can set up your marketing systems so that they run automatically. A sale can be made on-line when you’re asleep or even at a holiday.

That’s the same for offline sales, too. You can outsource everything. There are people who will take your orders on the phone for you, duplicate your products and ship them.

5) It has low start-up costs

You can start with a 10 page “report” that you write, buy the cheapest classified ad on local newspaper, and sell it for . I bet you can start it for less than 0.

One of the health newsletters I’m a subscriber of costs per year, and it consists of 8 pages of information sent monthly.

6) It requires no license, education etc.

It takes years to be doctor and open your own clinic. You can decide today to become an information marketer, and you’re in business today. Find a market, research what they want, and sell it to them. Easy.

7) You work once, get paid over and over again.

Sure, it takes some work to create a product, set up marketing… But you get paid for it again and again, as long as you can sell it.

It beats trading hours to dollars, even at high paid jobs. 0,000/yr makes /hr. If you sell a product for 0, 1000 sales a year beats that, because it can be done -very- part time.

You can do it anywhere in the world.

You can be anywhere in the world earning money. In fact, you can be on vacation in Hawaii and you\\’ll still be earning money.

9) You can do it on any economic climate.

It is recession and depression proof. In every market, there are people willing to buy information. “How to make sure your business survives depression” “How to find a job while everyone else is waiting on the line”… Just a few ideas…

10) It’s a business you can be proud of.

Sure, there are other ways to make lots of money fast. Like robbing a bank or printing counterfeit money. However, information marketing is the closest thing to printing your own money, without being illegal or immoral.

You’re really doing people a favor by providing them the information they want.

Top 11 Information Marketing Business Mistakes to Avoid

If you’ve tried your hand at building an Internet-based business but haven’t yet reached the success you want, find out these 11 deadly mistakes and how to avoid them.

Mistake #1 – Not Treating What You Do as a Business.

The difference between a hobby and a business is that a hobby doesn’t make you money – it costs you money.

If you’re serious about starting a building a profitable online business approach seriously and focus on generating revenue.

Treat your online business as if you would any regular business.

Mistake #2 – Being Distracted by Too Many Good Ideas.

You can light up a room with a light bulb, but you can cut through steel with a laser beam. The same is true with your effort and ideas.

Too many Internet-Entrepreneur-Wanna-Bes lack the will power to stay focused. Chasing too many ideas at the same time often leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and with little results to show for their hard work.

The key to success is to select one business idea and to develop it completely before moving on to another project.

Mistake #3 – Not Selecting a Specific Niche.

Perhaps the biggest mistake of all is trying to be everything to everyone. You can’t – so stop!

It’s very counter-intuitive to focus on a smaller slice of the market and most people are afraid to do it. But when you do, your business will grow faster, and you’ll more financially successful in less time.

Mistake #4 – Falling in Love With the Wrong Product Idea.

Even the most experienced entrepreneurs fall into this trap from time to time and develop products without doing any research. Before you devote any serious amount of time and effort to developing your new ideas make sure there is a demand for the type of product, information, or service you want to launch.

If you need help with selecting an ideal niche market for your business and finding out which products you should develop first, take a look at this fast track training program.

Mistake #5 – Falling for the “Get Rich Quick” Scheme!

Remember the old adage “if something is too good to be true…”? It’s alive and well on the Internet.

Countless people buy into the idea of making millions online overnight. Sadly, they buy into programs hyped up with empty promises only to find themselves “out of cash and out of luck” a short while later.

Be aware of spammers, illegal money-winning scams, and buying “ready to go businesses” that are “hot but will sell for cheap”!

Before you fork over your money investigate if those hot businesses have ever made a dime for their current owner.

Doing your homework will save you valuable time, money and many sleepless nights!

Mistake #6 – Going Into It, Instead of Growing Into It.

While the Internet makes it easier to reach your potential clients, you’re still building a business – and that takes time. Don’t tell your boss you’re quitting today because you started this hot new online business last night and you’ll be “rolling in dough in no time flat!”

First make sure your business idea works and is profitable.

That’s one of the advantages of Internet Business – you can start small and step-it-up as your business starts getting sales and generating profits.

Just be sure you can consistently replace your current income before jumping ship and telling your boss to “beat it”!

Mistake #7 – Being a Copy-Cat!

Quickly – what is the most popular business on the Internet? You guessed it – it’s how to make money on the online!

It seems that everyone who has bought a course on making money online is credible enough to teach this subject a week or two later!

Don’t fall for the allure of easy money – because it’s only a perception. In reality your chances of having a successful online business are much greater when you are different from the pack.

Mistake #8 – Wasting Time and Money on Developing Pretty but Useless Websites.

A bad idea is a bad idea – no matter how pretty you dress it up. Many people waste precious startup dollars on expensive but needless graphic design work, pretty logos, and complex web design.

In reality, many businesses can be simple and inexpensive to get off the ground. In fact, a simple site with little or no graphics will often make more money than one with all the latest bells and whistles flashing all over the page.

Think what is the core concept of your business. Outline it on a single sheet of paper, then implement it fast in it’s simplest form. You can always give it a makeover and make it prettier if it’s successful and profitable.

Mistake #9 – Not Building Relationship with Clients.

“Even though you don’t know me from Adam, I want you to take out your wallet and give me – in exchange I’ll make you the King of the Universe!” What!? You don’t want to give me your ? What a surprise!

Most people think about starting a business online in terms of getting a quick sale – with no prior relationship with their potential clients at all.

In reality, you’ll be more successful when you make your first goal to collect contact information from potential clients and follow up with them on regular basis.

It’s much easier to “sell something for FREE” than trying to convince people to give you money at first.

Make it your goal to prove your credibility online and make your business all about relationships with prospects and clients you’ll build a thriving online empire.

Mistake #10 – Calling It “QUITS” Too Soon!

If your new online venture isn’t making money at first don’t walk away from it too soon. Many entrepreneurs have multiple “failures” in their background – which in reality are lessons in what didn’t work.

Evaluate your ideas and get help with gaining a new perspective on what you’re doing. With some new ideas you might find a new way to position your business differently and make it profitable.

Or maybe you simply need to give it more time to gain the traction and momentum you want.

Mistake #11 – Being too cheap!

While it’s a good habit to be thrifty with your dollars, don’t confuse saving money with being cheap. Remember the price you’re paying for things isn’t always expressed in money. It’s also the time, effort, and lost opportunities you can’t take advantage off because you lack the know-how or are busy doing low-level tasks.

Smart online entrepreneurs continually invest in their Education. They buy marketing training programs, time-saving software tools, and systems that allow them to grow businesses faster with less effort.

The best news is getting good basic training in how to start your own information marketing business doesn’t have to be expensive.

How to Market Your Information Marketing Business so You Get More Sales No Matter What!

Direct response marketing expert Diane Conklin likes to remind business owners of the difference between sales and marketing using this analogy:

It’s always easier to sell if you offer the fish instead of the fishing pole.

Marketing is the ability to create an opportunity and a desire within a prospect to buy your products or services. The big picture is, nobody wants to put forth the effort to catch the fish.

That is what makes information marketing the big business that it is today. The industry is fuelled by the lack of time available to people and a growing desire for work-life balance. As an information marketer, you can meet this great demand by gathering information and selling it in convenient forms to people who don’t have the time to do things themselves.

3 Reasons Why Diane Conklin Loves The Information Marketing Business

1. No other business provides the revenue, flexibility and lifestyle that information marketing provides. Much of the work is home-based, part-time and requires very little start-up costs.

2. Because there is such a demand for information products, anyone can use their own expertise to create a million dollar business within 12 months or less. Information marketing is an emerging and ever-growing field made up of knowledgeable and marketing savvy entrepreneurs who package their expertise into convenient forms such as DVDs, books, e-books, CDs, magazines, websites, teleseminars, webinars, coaching programs, seminars and conferences.

3. There is a market for creating an information marketing business for just about every topic you can think of.

Using information marketing, Diane offers her proven business building secrets including marketing systems that help you effectively market your new business. She teaches all there is to know about using direct response marketing methods which concentrate on getting clients and making sales. And, she helps you measure results so you know which methods are getting you the most return on your marketing dollars.

One of her secrets includes this…

Warning for Information Marketers: Avoid the Common Mistake of Limiting Your Marketing Program to One Marketing Method.

Don’t mistakenly assume that everyone is on the internet. By using a multi-step, multimedia approach you will maximize your profits and ensure stability. Diane recommends using at least three or four sources that deliver great results.

The key is to avoid becoming dependent on any one media type. That way if one of them slows down or dries up completely you will still have new clients, money and sources flowing into your company.

Lastly don’t forget — from newspaper to internet, no matter what the media type you choose, you should always use direct response marketing. It delivers the best results and makes the most money.

Top 3 Beliefs of an Information Marketing Millionaire

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to attract money and success while others can’t seem to get ahead no matter how hard they try? I want to share with you the three fundamental differences that enable successful people to achieve their information marketing business goals super-fast and become millionaires with lightning speed.

At the very core, we are the same as everybody else. We still put our pants on one leg at a time in the morning. There is nothing different in terms of skills between millionaires and everyone else.

I’m not any smarter. I certainly didn’t have any special advantages to start with. If anything, I think you might be in a better position than I was starting out. The only difference is that I have found a way to make my information marketing business work and you might still be looking for it.

I have searched and found ways, techniques, formulas, ideas and strategies that work. They are profitable. They can be implemented. They can be duplicated.

You know there is a better way to work smarter not harder and the great news is that I want to share with you step- by-step, “how to do that” and answer the question: What makes millionaires different is their thinking processes?

They have certain beliefs that allow them to achieve success a lot faster. I want to share with you three of those fundamental, core beliefs. I want you to take them on and accept them as your own. I believe they will serve you very well.

…Millionaire Belief #1

Millionaires believe in their value. They know that their education, experience, know-how and everything they have acquired going through life made them an immensely valuable human being, and has given them an immensely valuable expertise that someone else doesn’t have yet and is willing to pay big money to acquire.

They know intrinsically that they have a lot of value to contribute to other people. They are willing to trade that value for money. More importantly, they somehow sense that they have a moral obligation to share this information and value with other people. They become unstoppable in the quest to take what they know and turn it into a product, a package, system, method or some sort of tangible item that can be given to other people to help them improve their lives, businesses and relationships.

…Millionaire Belief #2

They believe in systems and duplication. They realize that things can be leveraged in multiple ways.

For example, medical coaches, consultants and speakers believe they have to be present in order for value to take place. They have to spend an hour with somebody coaching them on something in order for value to take place. That is absolutely incorrect.

Knowledge is not about the quantity or how many words used to relay that knowledge. It is about the ideas that are transferred that someone can believe in, acquire, put to use and benefit from. It’s about the transfer of ideas and concepts. That’s where the value is.

The value is not in my time. It’s not in me meeting with you one-on-one. It’s not in me consulting or coaching a company. It’s not in me talking to somebody on the phone. Those are all techniques. They are all delivery methods.

Many people erroneously think they have to spend this time one-on-one and sell time for money. That’s what traps them in a business that doesn’t allow them to grow faster or remove themselves from the equation of exchanging time for money.

Millionaires in the information marketing business know that things can be systemized and packaged. An idea can be delivered via an automated audio message, an automated email, or a product that is recorded and packaged that someone can buy independent of your ability to be there and deliver the same message over and over again.

…Millionaire Belief #3

They believe in huge financial breakthroughs and windfalls happening very fast.

One of the biggest barriers you may have to overcome in building this business is your personal belief or comfort level in how much money it is possible to make in the next week, month, six months or year.

Can you really, in your heart of hearts, believe that making a million dollars or more in the next 12 months is possible for you starting from where you are? That’s what millionaires believe. They choose to ignore barriers. They choose to ignore common beliefs and misconceptions. They choose to turn a deaf ear to naysayers, procrastinators, and people who say things can’t be done.

Instead, they say, “Let me show you how it can be done.” They put the work and effort forth and skyrocket the businesses from zero to an amazing amount of profits while impacting a lot of people in the process.

They create value and wealth for themselves. They create value and wealth for the people around them. They know that they are simply rewarded for doing great things for other people, and that their income is directly proportional to the value they render to other individuals.

You now have the three winning millionaire mindsets that you can immediately adopt as your own. If you do, you will be amazed at the growth and success of your own information marketing business.
