Deadly Factors To Help Boosting Sales And Building List Of Responsive Subscribers

Deadly Factors To Help Boosting Sales And Building List Of Responsive Subscribers

Many Internet marketers want to earn money online while building high responsive list but didn’t know the real factor to trigger it to effectively make it possible.

You may say you have a good product, you may say it is effective and you would probably say it is helpful but making a hype telling it to everybody is quite hard enough if you don’t build trust, having loyal customers and happy JV partners and affiliates.

If you have a good product then immediately find someone with large list to review it and give him high commission or even give him 100% commission. This way  you might trigger his mind to send it to his list if it is really a good or quality product. If your JV partner find it useful and consider sending it to his list, his subscribers would be happy that he receive the offer from him.

How to build a list?

Building List? To build email list you’ll have to look at this way, you talk to your JV partners and you offer your product for free and your JV partner knows that you are selling it then your JV partners would feel they are special and when they send it to their list, their subscribers would feel the same. What you’ll gain? Happy partners and new subscribers. Of course, you’ll have to create a page with a one liner “This report is FREE to JV_Partner’s_Name because ….REASON HERE…. and this is a PAY Back!” and create an OPTIN form (build email list) to enter their name and email address to get/download the report for FREE. That’s how email list building goes, how anyone subscribe if they don’t see any value on the offer? It’s instant credibility because your JV partners has their own way of making their subscriber trust them or become a loyal subscriber in their list building activity. Try to get your JV partners reviews or comments about your product and let them send their review to their list. Highly recommended product means instant credibility that boost your brand and earn their trust.

Imagine if you have 100 JV partners with thousands of subscribers in their list, that’s 100X better than yours.. Now, think again.. can you build your list fast? ;)

How to get that 100 JV partners? Isn’t it hard to find 100 JV partners? Just find at least 4 JV partners who are willing to send it to their list and in just a month you could achieve that. Look around your niche, find some experts in your niche and show your proposal. Go to facebook, twitter and LinkedIn and you’ll see several people with thousands of friends and followers. Try to communicate with them, follow them, subscribe to their newsletter, be friendly, ask questions, be their affiliate, review their products, give them sales and soon you’ll get their attention.

Again, focus on a QUALITY product as your giveaway.

Help Boosting Sales? How to increase sales? How can I earn if I will give it away? The answer is the backend, offer your new subscribers BIG discounts of your other products, send your list a One-TIME-Offer (OTO) they can’t resist, recommend other QUALITY products with HIGH converting sales letter which you’ll get some commission like your partners product embedded your affiliate links. In that backend, let your JV partners get a cut or commission in every sale. Why? Don’t ask me why..use your common sense. It must always be WIN-WIN-WIN. Happy JV partners, happy subscribers/customers and happy YOU.

My previous post So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose? can help you achieve and think what you’ll need to select which affiliate programs to choose. Ideally, the product must have high converting sales copy and i f you are lucky, you can get motivational autoresponder email series and quality articles from the merchant. Ask the merchant if they can provide it. Well, it only takes few minutes to compose an email to ask the merchant :)

Put yourself in the mind of the customers. What customers want? Customers usually want affordable products with premium content and could help their business or personal development.

Put yourself in the mind of your JV partners. What your JV partners mostly want is to make their subscribers happy to make them responsive and get high cut (or even 100% commission).

In summary, create a list of experts or potential partners, make an IRRESISTIBLE offer, think of ways to make your JV partners and their subscribers happy, create a backend products and make your JV partners get their cut.

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 20% – 80% (and some cases, 100%!) is the commission paid by most programs. .01% – .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

The 3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

The 3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

Now every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.

There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing.

Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers.

If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their in boxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.

Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.

Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving!

Common Mistakes That Twitter Users Make

11 Mar

Common Mistakes That Twitter Users Make

Over the last few posts we’ve talked about what an exciting, cool, and extremely profitable social network site Twitter is. The fact is millions of people are using it to connect with each other all over the world, but as an Internet marketer there are some common mistakes that you will want to avoid making even before you start sending tweets.

Mistake number one: Not using your picture as your profile avatar!

I’m sure you’ve seen it. Some users don’t post their real picture. Admittedly, a cartoon picture, or a cheaply made company logos is better than no picture at all. But the bet picture you can use if you want to make a good impression and get people to remember you is a photo of your face.

When you post your own picture it lets others know that you are real and that you’re confident enough with what you do to let others see you. You want people to recognize you as a leader in your market and having a face to go with a name always helps. A nice smile never hurts either.

Mistake number two: Automatically sending the wrong type of direct message through an AutoDM.

In previous posts, we talk about using the tool Future Tweets that automatically sends messages to people who follow you. What we didn’t talk about was sending the wrong type of message with this tool and how it can lose you followers.

Direct messages can be seen as impersonal and pushy when they aren’t written properly. If you decide to use a tool that automatically send messages to your new followers keep it simple and friendly. A message saying ‘thanks for following me’ is fine, but sending automated messages promoting your business or product is not a good idea and most instances people will click the unfollow button right away.

Mistake number three: Trying to build a huge following before you have done some tweeting.

People will not be interested in following you when they click on your Twitter page to see what you’ve got, and notice you don’t have much. You need to have tweeted more than, “Trying to figure this Twitter out” and “I think I’ve got it figured out now.”

If you don’t know what to say, try “retweeting” (RT) some other peoples’ tweets that that are related to your niche. Read what other people are tweeting about and reply to them, this will help start up a conversation.  Talk about market related news, what you’re doing on your business right now. That will give you several tweets to get the ball rolling.

Mistake number four: Tweeting promotion after promotion.

Yes, you are using Twitter to promote your business, but posting one offer after another will only cause people to ‘unfollow’ you. When people look at your timeline and notice that you aren’t posting anything of value to them they will quickly move on.

There are millions of Twitters to follow, why should they follow you when you’re only tweeting about promotions? Remember this basic rule of sales “people want to know what’s in it for me”?

Twitter is a social network filled with real people and you have to keep that in mind before you post a tweet. When you are using Twitter for your IM business you must learn how to communicate and build good relationships with your followers before you start sending them with promotions.

Even if you already have a good list of leads, it is still not a good idea to barrage them with promotions. As we have talked about before, promotional tweets should be sent only in limited numbers.

These are just a few of the more common mistakes committed by new and old tweeters alike. Take note of them and don’t make the same mistakes.

Maximizing Your Twitter Traffic

Maximizing Your Twitter Traffic

As an Internet marketer one of your main promotional goals should be to dominate social networks and what better way to access the global market than through Twitter. Simply by attracting followers and making friends you can quickly build a list of valuable leads.

Did you know that Twitter is considered to be one of the most effective and impressive ways to increase traffic?

Most people use Twitter simply to send tweets to one another and keep in contact with friends and family, but as an Internet marketer you can use it to drive traffic a serious amount of to your business sites if you know how.

Just imagine, with the increased traffic to your website, you can gain more subscribers, leads and convert them into paying customers which all leads to increased income.

Let The World Know You’re On Twitter

As we talked about in the previous posts, you need to spread the news that you’re on Twitter. You will want to include your Twitter url in your email messages, post blogs and on your websites.  That way, everyone will know that you’re using Twitter.

Tweet Good Content Often – Daily Not Weekly!

Believe it or not regularly updating your tweets will help you drive more traffic to your site. Avid Twitter users like people who post tweets regularly. If you want to gain active followers through your tweets you will want to set up a schedule for posting and do your best to stick to it.

You will also want to make sure that you reply to the tweets addressed to you. I don’t recommend that you stay on the site all day or spend long hours tweeting away your time. Just pick a good time once or twice a day and login.

If you have a mobile device, all the better because you can sync it up with your Twitter account and you won’t have to worry about being away from your computer.

Don’t worry if your followers don’t become active right away. It may take some time, but they will begin to notice the times that you are more active and after a while they will join in your conversations, which is one of your main goals.

Just remember the basic rule we talked about in chapter three “keep 90% of your tweets full of helpful content and limit your promotional ones”. This way you will keep the followers that really matter.

While some personal tweets are a must if you want to help your followers get to know you, you will want to avoid sending out to many personal or unrelated tweets because it can actually cause you to lose followers. After all there aren’t too many of your business contacts that will want to hear that you took a shower or what you had for breakfast, so keep your tweets focused!

By taking the time to build good relationships with your followers, you will be laying the ground work for converting them into lifetime customer for your products or business. Establishing a good relationship with your followers is vital if you want to take advantage of the massive flow of traffic that pours through Twitter every day.

Here is a little checklist that you can keep handy:

- Let everyone know that you’re on Twitter.

- Send tweets regularly.

- Retweet good content.

- Reply to the tweets addressed to you.

- Pay attention to the kind of tweets you’re sending.

- Make the tweets personal, but not too personal.

- Most of all, build good relationships.

Using Twitter is fun and easy that is why is has such a big draw.  I’ll be honest, not everyone who uses Twitter as a marketing tool  will be successful because it takes time, effort, and patience to  see effective results. But if you follow these steps regularly you  should see an increase of activity and conversion.
