In the last part of this series we
spoke about generating or driving traffic to your web site. I was
consulting a successful businessman, not too long ago, who recently
expanded his income to the online world. He sat down and explained his
marketing plan and his excitement with the amount of traffic he was
generating to his site. This was great that he began step one of the
seven key steps to automating wealth online. His traffic counts were
going through the roof. There was a problem, his profits were not.
Now, I knew he was a successful
business man and I figured he knew what he was doing. After hearing his
dilemma I started to ask questions. I asked to see his "landing page".
He looked at me perplexed and asked, "Do you mean my website?" Hence
the problem.
To automate your internet system it is
internet marketing "101" that tells you that above all you must capture
the information of the traffic driven to your site. This is done via a
landing page that "teases" or sparks their interest in what is behind
the page. In order to get to the other side to get the information that
they want, which typically is to solve a problem in their life, for
example a lack of money, they would have to fill out their name, email
and sometimes phone number.
By doing this you now begin to compile
a list of "leads" for your business. As with any business timing is
important. The person viewing your site might be shopping around for
something they are looking to do in a couple months. Now you have their
information and they are automatically transferred into an
autoresponder that sends them messages on your behalf.
Autoresponders are an internet
marketers best friend. Often when people are ready to buy they will buy
with the person which whom they recognize. Keeping your business and
your name at the forefront of their mind until they are ready to buy is
a key component to achieving success via automation online. In
conclusion, it is great to drive the traffic but you must capture the
information of those that are curious enough to surf your site.
On a side note, a proper landing page
will provide a solution to someone's problem. The problem should be
exposed and a solution or fix should be represented by your landing
page so they are interested in looking further into how you might be
able to help them. Remember, a mutually beneficial offer will be the
easiest to promote and to convert into traffic.

Listen guys, in the world of business
there are two types of people those that make it and those that don't,
plain and simple. Which one are you? Which one do you want to be? If
you want to be one that makes it ,you must do something, expose the
need! There are so many people out there that are promoting solutions
but not exposing the most important part of that equation, the need.
I have been involved in many types of
business from traditional businesses such as restaurants to network
marketing companies that were centered around health and nutrition. The
one common thing that I have seen for those that create success in
almost any business. They know how to expose the need of their
potential customer or client.
Do you know the need of your customer?
Or are you just throwing solutions to problems out there and hoping you
catch a live one? Your landing page, your website, your autoresponders
and your presentation should continue to bring the need of your client
or customer to the front of their mind. They should walk away from your
presentation or website with a burning desire to fix the need that you
have exposed.
I am not saying add insult to injury,
what I am saying is you must, for their benefit, create in them the
desire to fix the need. Many people are blind to the fact that they
have a need and others are blind to the fact that there is a way to fix
it. For example, how many people do you know that have poor jobs, high
credit card debt, have refinanced their house to the max, complain
about not having enough money and always seem to be robbing Peter to
pay Paul?
Why, some are lazy, others are on some
hard times and others don't realize their is another way. If you have a
solution to the credit card debt they are facing or for the single
mother who is living paycheck to paycheck, don't you think they deserve
to have another way out! I do, I know that the temporary pain of
exposing the need that they have and creating a burning desire for
change will pale in comparison to the joy they could have if they just
listened and committed to change.
The lesson is simple, "Expose the
need, make it real, help them own it and then, only then will they be
ready to take the next step towards the solution."

Here you are with traffic and lead
lists being built. You have created enough interest in your product or
service to warrant people stopping by, checking out your site and
leaving you with there information. What next? This is where good ad
copy comes in. Ad copy is just a fancy way of saying your "pitch" or
your sales page in writing.
How do you create good ad copy? Simply
put, you expand the need into a burning desire. Place yourself into the
shoes of the person who has the need to be filled. What motivates them
to take the next step? You need to create ad copy that communicates
straight to the heart of the person. Here is an example. Let's just say
your site advertised to stay at home moms. You have exposed the need
that they have a desire to stay home and not have to work outside the
home. Your job with your ad copy is to help them create a mental image,
create a place in their mind that is almost real. Help them look into
the future of their current situation and allow for them to see where
they will be if they do not change. Paint a word picture of them
missing their kids school play, missing the final game because the boss
demands a meeting, coming home late after dinner has been served, etc.
Now, please don't get me wrong you are
not trying to depress them you are simply helping them paint an image
of what will happen if they do not change. You are teaching them the
old principle, "If you don't change everything will remain the same."
This is common sense however, many people walk through life in denial
that somehow a miracle will occur and PRESTO everything will be just
how they dreamed it to be.
The real deal is this. You have a
moral obligation to expose the need that they are searching for to then
create a burning desire for them to seek a solution to this need and
then, providing you truly have the solution, presenting them with an
option.

Present a solution? Solutions for
what? Simple, if you followed the correct steps I have laid out in the
previous articles your potential client would be standing there with a
void. A void that they desperately want , no, that they need to
fulfill. Listen, I hope you don't underestimate the power of giving
your prospect the solution to their problem. You have a moral
obligation to help them overcome the challenge that they have. How do
you go about doing this?
Bottom line, your solution has to be
real, it has to be legit and they have to understand it. You must be
able to communicate how they are going to do this. Your presentation is
crucial, how you communicate to your prospect is the most vital thing
you can learn. Listen guys, they are waiting for a hero! How can you be
that hero to them. Take a look at your web site, at your landing page,
at your video presentation, take a look at everything your prospect
will see. Does your site truly provide the solution? Or are you kidding
yourself?
If you are not serious about truly
helping them, than just stop marketing your product or service. Someone
who attempts to provide a solution that they do not have will end up
with a failed business. Sure, you might have a sale or two, but
ultimately you will fail. Your solution has to be viable, user friendly
and it must deliver.
To make money online with your home
based internet business, you must have a product that easily
communicates that you can and will provide a solution for them. Guys,
this is a simple truth that many people seem to ignore. They often
"fake it", that will do nothing but hurt you and your potential
customer.

Making money online is nothing more
than a simple process that must be followed on a consistent basis. Many
people learn the beginning steps of driving traffic, capturing the
lead, exposing the need and presenting a solution. Here is the critical
element, CLOSE THE DEAL, ask for the sale. You have spent time, energy
and resources creating the lead and taking them through the process.
Many websites that I have been to do
all but close the deal. Here is the challenge, a website can close your
deal but often people want to know that there truly is a person on the
other end of the site. If your prospect has gone through your process,
given you their information and still has not bought. The ball is now
in your court to follow up. Call them, introduce yourself and ask for
the sale. This is not done in a pressured way this is done simply by
asking them if they are ready to get started. You have an obligation to
offer them the solution to the need that you have exposed.
Closing the deal or asking for the
sale is as simple as presenting the options on how to get started,
order your product, subscribe to your service, etc. This can be done
through the personal phone call mentioned previously or it can be done
by presenting your potential customer with a fear of loss. If your
prospect has not bought the next step is to increase the value of the
offer by adding a bonus, reducing the price or any other thing that
will add value to your prospect. This method has to be done in a way
that they truly feel that they will, "lose out" if they fail to buy.
Top internet marketers use this
technique all the time. They do this because it works. The fear off
loss is often more powerful than the solution for the need. People do
not like to "miss out". Just look at any school age child and peer
pressure, well that is nothing more than a fear of loss. This trait
stays with us throughout our life and applying this principle to
closing your deals will drastically improve your numbers and create
more success online.
Using the "fear of loss" skill will
minimize the human effort and increase the automation. I still believe
that while you can have 98% automation the old saying, "the fortune is
in the follow up" still applies, even in our online world.
Easy ways to make money on the
internet, are they really easy? Making money online seems to be one of
the hot topics across the web today. What are some options to make
money online and how much money can realistically be made on the web?
Easy
Ways To Make Money On The Internet
Affiliate Marketing
You often here people talk about
affiliate marketing and how this is a way to create success online.
While some people are masters at affiliate marketing the average person
with minimal knowledge will not be able to create substantial incomes
using this method. The person who has created the product typically is
the one creating the wealth. Although this may not create substantial
income it can however, be a quick method to make some money online.
Typically, all you need to do is send traffic to a pre-written sales
copy, using your specific link that is connected to you.
Create a Blog
Setting up your own blog is a great
way to make money online. Using blog sites and sites such as squidoo
you can begin to create relative content within your blog that will
allow for you to have paid advertisements. This method is often used by
partnering with sites such as google allowing them to place relative
content ads on your blog. Every time a visitor of your blog clicks on
one of these ads you will get paid. While this typically will not allow
for substantial income to be created you can use this for easy ways to
make money online.
Selling Ebooks
If you have knowledge that can be of
assistance to other people, write an ebook. This is a very quick and
easy way to make money using the internet. You will need to have the
ability to create digital cover art for your ebook as well as convert
the ebook into a PDF. Find your niche and market your book specifically
within that niche. Niche marketing has great results and high
conversion rates.
Find A Mentor
Easy ways to make money on the
internet are easy when you find yourself a mentor or team of mentors.
When looking for a mentor find someone who has the systems already in
place for you to quickly begin making money on the internet. A
principle of success I have always followed is find those that are
achieving the success that you desire and then do what they do.
Cash
Gifting Scam or Legit -
Cash Gifting Is It Illegal or Legal?
Here is the deal. Giving gifts is a
part of everyday life, right? Well yes it is, but what about giving
gifts of cash that is really a business without a product, in disguise?
What makes this different than a ponzi scheme is it different than your
typical chain letter?
How Does It Work
You begin by searching online looking
for a real business opportunity and you end up on the landing page or
website where someone is ripping open large envelopes filled with cash.
They only show there hands they have no contact information other than
an po box or something. Here is the claim, online business is really
only about making money so why not just give the money as a gift and
forget about the products. So to make money and start having others
gift to you, you give a gift to a sponsor and their upline sponsor to
then begin your chain of gift givers.
Scam or Legit
The claims are that these programs are
legal as long as you follow certain IRS rules of "gifting". Now here is
how I look at it. These people do not have contact information on the
sites other than a po box. They do not show there face and they are
sending large sums of cash through the mail. This is nothing more than
an online chain letter. What I know is that these gifting programs pop
up and are typically here for a bit than disappear. Why? I can't answer
that. You will have to use your judgment on that.
So is Cash Gifting a Scam or Legit, my
conclusion is that I would not want anything to do with a business that
is on the border of honest and ethical as well as one that could
potentially have legal consequences. If you choose Cash Gifting as a
business, remember that with any online business you will need
mentoring and training to learn how to drive large amounts of traffic
to your web site. How will this happen if your sponsor is hiding his or
her identity? If this is not right for you, I would partner up with a
team of successful online marketers who will train and mentor you how
to make money online.

How to Make Money on the Web - Fast and Easy Ways to Earn on the Web
There are many ways of making money on
the web, most of them involving freelance work on different projects.
Depending of your experience, skills and preparation you can take jobs
from software editing to hosting chat rooms and typing texts.
One way of making money on the web is
making your own website. You have to think carefully about what you are
most qualified to do (in what field do you have previous experience,
training, etc) and what the market demands. Or you need to partner up
with a company that has the systems and training in place to teach you
how to successfully make money on the web.
Having in mind those two things you
should be able to come up with a good idea of making your own website.
Some ideas for websites are: hobby websites, dating, chatting,
buying/selling, comparing prices, offering information on certain
fields, retailing, etc.
To keep your site up and going you
have to improve it constantly, post new articles every day, make sure
it works properly and you keep your visitors satisfied. It wouldn't
hurt to ask some visitors to take a survey, to make sure that your site
isn't losing visitors. The key to success on the web and your ability
to make money is the amount of traffic you generate.
Once your site registers enough
traffic you'll make money out of commercial banners, affiliate
programs, etc.
Other ideas of making money on the web
are:
- Commerce: buy stuff and resell on
websites like eBay. This can be a very profitable business if you
document yourself well enough and don't expect to get rich overnight.
- Writing articles, web content,
summaries, book reviews, movie reviews. Also you can proofread
articles, process and edit texts, introduce data, etc. If you like
writing this might be the job for you. Also improving your writing
skills and accumulating experience, you might be able to find a job as
a news editor or even writer. All you have to do is keep writing.
- Taking surveys: some sites pay you
money for taking their surveys, other give you the possibility of
winning products; it's not a lot of money but it takes a few minutes
and can be fun. Also you could relax doing them (it can really be fun)
and make money or get products for free.
- Testing: you can test anything from
games, shampoo, creams, to clothing, food, DVDs, washing machines and
books. Testing is really fun. When you are not paid for the products
your reward is the product you get for nothing. All you have to do is
fill in a form and send them a feedback.
- Hosting chat rooms, forums, making
reviews: some sites pay people to entertain people on their chat rooms,
post on the forums, alerting the administrators when the site is not
working properly, posting reviews of the products advertised on the
sites etc. This is really easy to do, and doesn't take much time. If
you are passionate about chat rooms and forums, you might as well make
some money out of this.
These of course are just a few ideas
that can help you make money on the web. One piece of advice is to seek
out those that are already achieving the success that you desire and
then with their coaching simply do what they do.
Three Keys to Success Online - Learn
How to Succeed on the Web Today
Creating a successful career on the
net might seem an impossible dream; something to difficult to
accomplish that it's not worth trying. It is true that it's difficult
to become successful but not impossible. You just have to think
positive, manage well your resources and make a good plan for your
attempt. Here are three keys to your success:
1. Choose a suitable business for you:
In choosing a business you should
always think about what are your skills, interests, what domain are you
qualified in, and in what field you have previous experience. This is a
crucial step because it practically assures your chances of success. In
addition partner with a company that has the systems in place to ensure
your success.
If you start a business in a field you
are not familiar with or you don't even like, the chances you fail are
great. So take your time and analyze yourself. If it helps, ask others
what they think it would be the best job for you. Sometimes, others can
be more objective and realistic than you are, and in any case it does
not hurt to try if you are really undetermined. A major key to this
success is having a mentor to teach you the skills you are unfamiliar
with.
2. Be consistent:
When you have narrowed your search for
potential business, be consistent, try to take similar jobs until you
have enough experience in that field. Sometimes people change several
types of jobs during their lifetime, other times they stick to the same
job all their life.
Experience is always appreciated, so
try to stick to the same job till you have enough experience to move on
to another job or another field. Also, be prepared for changes:
sometimes you find a job which incorporates some of the already
developed skills, sometimes it is totally different. It's great to
learn new things all the time, this offers you an advantage.
Change is good: you have the
opportunity to accumulate experience on several fields, which can prove
to be useful. If you don't succeed in one job, don't give up. There's
the perfect job for everybody out there, but you haven't found it yet.
Keep looking for potential jobs and don't exclude anything: a job which
might not seem for you could be the job you are best at.
3. Appreciate yourself to your true
value and always try to improve:
You have to appreciate yourself to
your true value in order to ask for fair prices for your services. If
you ask too much for your services you won't get any job, but if you
sell yourself too cheap you won't make sufficient money and people will
take you for granted. Also have in mind that you have to be fair in
your appreciation, because your true value always surfaces.
Knowing where you stand also keeps you
alert and opened to improvement. You have to accept that there is
always room for improvement and this is the only way you can maintain
your value on the market, by constant improvement.
While a job can be fulfilling, very
rarely does it accomplish the kind of success that you desire. Keys to
success online are determined by your ability to learn and apply the
necessary skills to have your OWN business that will create leverage
and residual income in your life.

How to Set Goals
When looking for a job or making your
own business it is better not to set your hopes too high. The first
steps are always the most difficult and most people become successful
after several failed attempts. You have to accept failure as being a
part in the learning process, but also you have to have a positive
attitude about the outcome of your progress. Don't expect to fail or
you will never succeed.
Here are some key facts which will
help you set your goals realistically:
Set realistic goals
Your goals can be artificially raised
by the expectations of your parents / relatives, by the society or by
comparison to other people. Never compare yourself to the others: what
you can do is different from what they can do. It is better to set your
goals according to your perception and put your own opinion on the
first place. In the end you know best what is good for you.
Also, unrealistic goals might be the
result of insufficient information or even misinformation. Be sure to
document yourself on the project you are going to attempt. Be sure to
prepare yourself for what will follow and you will not be taken by
surprise by some factors you haven't thought about.
Setting goals too low
When you set your goals too low you
are afraid of failure. This is not the right attitude; you should look
forward with optimism. Your negative attitude might prevent you from
taking the necessary risks or trusting yourself with a more difficult
task. Also, if you set your goals too low, your progress will be slower
as you have to traverse more steps. Think of what you can do instead of
what you cannot do.
Setting goals too high
When you set your goals too high you
have the feeling that you'll never accomplish them. This can be the
premise of your failure. You have to set realistic goals, see what you
can do and in what amount of time are you able to do it. Also setting
goals too high can make your eventual failure too painful, because you
perceive it more acutely.
In setting the realistic goals you
should ask yourself the questions:
1. What do I have to know in order to
do this?
2. What skills do I have helping me in this project?
3. What do I need to learn to be able to do this?
4. Can I do it myself or do I need others to help me?
5. What resources do I need to be able to accomplish what I want? Are
they enough?
6. What risks am I subjecting myself to by doing this? Are the risks
too high? Does it worth the risks?
7. What could prevent me from achieving my goals?
You have to remember that a positive
attitude is the key to success. Failure is a part of the learning
process, and is therefore inevitable; you have to learn from it in
order not to repeat the mistakes.
How
Does Pay Per Click Work? - What is PPC?
Pay per click or PPC is an advertising
method used by many search engines for ranking their sites and by many
of their clients to advertise their sites and products. When you want
your products advertised through this method you go to sites like
Google AdWords or Overture and make your ad: a phrase, or a series of
words you believe your potential clients/visitors introduce in a search
engine. Then you select your bid, which means the sum of money you are
willing to pay for eachclick on your ad on the search engines.
When one potential buyer/visitor
enters the key words you selected, your ad appears in the search
results as a "sponsored link". When somebody clicks on your ad to get
to your site, you pay the bid; the more people click the ad, the more
you pay but the more traffic you get on the page.
The amount of money you pay per click
is in fact your bid, and the bid determines the position of your ad
among the sponsored links. The higher your bid is, the higher the
position of your ad is on the results list. However, if your ad doesn't
reach the required number of clicks it will be removed by the
administrators of the sites.
For your ad to work, you have to use
certain key words which people tend to use when searching for a
product, for i.e. the phrase "Cheap digital camera" will be searched
more often than "nice digital camera". Choosing the keywords can be
difficult as the search engine offers you a limited space and restricts
the wording you can use.
For those reasons it is best that you
consult with an advertising specialist or browse through the ads of
competing sites or products and see which keywords are the most
searched, and opt for the same keywords. Also there are keyword
suggestion tools as Yahoo!, Google and Wordtracker which can help you
find the right keywords but which do not guarantee the success of your
ad. The choice of keywords is crucial for the success of your pay per
click campaign.
Also it is best to start with a lower
bid, because you don't know how many clicks you're going to get in one
day, and you might end up with huge sums to pay for just one day. You
can increase your bid if your keywords appear at the end of the list
and you do not have enough clicks.
Pay per click is a very good method of
advertising your site and products, as most of the people looking for
items on the Internet use search engines. To get best results, use the
most used search engines and bit the appropriate sum of money for the
ad. Your pay per click strategy will change through time, as your site
becomes more and more popular, and as your income increases. If your ad
doesn't get you the expected amount of visitors, change the ad and
consult with specialists.
