Promote Your Business

I know it sounds terrible, but “viral marketing” has nothing to do with a “computer virus”. So what is viral marketing? Just what it sounds like; marketing so powerful that it spreads like a virus, getting one person after the other in a rapid fashion.

Some people call it “buzz marketing”, meaning marketing that utilizes some smart trick or tactic to create a great buzz, almost automatically like wildfire. This method is very popular and effective among real estate professionals like investors, realtors, agents, brokers, and the like. Obviously, it is a tremendous trick to reach success.

Take a look at this example: Imagine that you send an informational email to 100 people, and 15 people pass it on to another 100 and 15 of those do the same. What do you have pretty quickly? You’ve got hundreds of thousands of people who have received your precious information.

This is the magic of viral marketing, spreading your word to more consumers than you ever thought possible. You aren’t going to believe the power that you have when you market your business this way. Like a religion, you’ll be converting people to your message, and they will then spread that message to others.

When you tap into the secret power of the popularity of online games, videos, graphics, and other programs on sites like YouTube, you’ll create a great network of friends and proponents of your business.

Take advantage of this viral approach when you send out any messages, bulletins, comments and blogs into the market. My training series is comprised of 30 easy-to-follow videos that will take you step by step to your own success in real estate, chiropractic practice, network marketers and so many more. It’s time to transform your life and your business forever.

I can’t stand to see another real estate marketer make another whopping mistake on MySpace, but it happens more than you can imagine. This can greatly hinder your future growth. Don’t make your profile look like a big promo ad, glaring in everyone’s face. Not only will it look like Spam and people will be turned off by it, but MySpace might just pull your profile for unregulated solicitation.

And not only that, but MySpace will erase your account so that you can’t participate in the network at all if you just look like a cheap solicitor. You simply want your profile to draw a huge friend list, in the easiest, timeliest way possible. Then you can market to your friends softly.

This is a good piece of news for those who are interested in the field of internet marketing, and want to know more about conducting successful sales. The product I am talking about is Get More Buyers, which provides unique solutions to all your problems and queries.

Michael Rasmussen, the 31 year old who wrote the program is a part of the field and has shared the substantial information he has gathered over the years.

Firstly, the programs tells you that the key to successful sales lies in building and maintaining various lists of buyers, and not just subscribers. If you have been involved in internet marketing for sometime you’d know that many of the subscribers in your email list are not necessarily buyers- and hence the need for a separate list of buyers!

Get More Buyers is a program, not a piece of literature so as you delve deeper it gets technical. For instance, it introduces marketers to the concept of a marketing funnel and teaches you how to use it. It teaches you the concept of entry level selling, helping customers migrate to higher levels involving more and more expensive products and so on. As different customer sets emerge so do different lists of buyers.

Next it teaches you about maintaining the cumbersome lists that you have made! The creator of the program recommends the marketer to set up an auto-responder for this purpose. There must be several options that would help you in maintaining several lists at the same time without much effort- thus helping you to keep them apart, yet integrate all the lists if there is a need to do so!

There are 10 strategies you must know to build a large network of buyers, not merely subscribers.

Start out with entry level products instead of aiming big initially.

Secondly, you should tactfully part with insider information, telling your customers where to go, what to do. This is called a Warrior Special Offer.

Four: get to know all about upsells and one-time offers. These bring more customers, increase sales, fetch you extra revenue.

Rasmussen brings in subtle strategies at this point. Five: use affiliate promo bonuses.

Six: use thank you page promos by promoting products riding piggyback on another person’s thank you page.

Strategy seven teaches you how you can contribute to a one time offer and strategy eight teaches important information on contributing to someone else’s product.

The niche area of holiday promos features as strategy nine. Use major holidays and event giveaway promotions at this level.

The last tip is regarding what is called ‘cross promotion’ in which you aid a seller in marketing his product and vice-versa. This helps you both to market your product successfully!

Got the Get More Buyers idea in your grasp by now? We strongly recommend it for your Internet marketing. It won’t let you down!

When it comes to making money online, there are so many options available.

If you want to work at home using a computer, you can what is called affiliate marketing, for example. More on that in a moment. Or you can opt for one of the available work at home jobs. These days companies are outsourcing more and more of their work and this has opened many opportunities for home employment.

If having your own home business appeals to you (like it does to me) then you will be interested to review the many business opportunities that are around. Be careful in your selection process. Get plenty of information during your due diligence stage, by the way. But the good thing is that with some home based businesses, you can even create a residual income for yourself if you find a hot market that spends on recurring purchase products.

Personally I think internet business, in particular internet marketing, is one of the best avenues for making money.

To sell stuff on the internet, you can either sell your own products or you can promote other people’s product range and then get paid as an affiliate. With affiliate programs like this, you are not an employee - rather you are a commission-only salesman. You don’t sell by face to face contact, although you can do that. To make online money, you will be selling online via a website.

You would be well advised to get some training in affiliate marketing on the internet, as it is quite different to other ways of making money. Purchasing some low cost training material will speed up your journey to profitability. Let me introduce you to one of the popular new training packages that will give you a strong start.

Is your internet business at a stall? No matter what you do, you get hardly any visitors and when you do, their just tire kickers, right? That can get down right frustrating when your not seeing results for all your time spent.

I was taught at first , when I started in internet marketing, to use those old marketing ways also. It’s totally amazing how many still use those wore out methods and get no results, and keep on using them, insane!

I was faced with nothing but rejection from all those supposed leads my up line kept preaching to use. I have thick skin, but getting nothing but rejection doesn’t create anything but animosity and many negative thoughts.

I was officially taped out of funds to keep on this path. With nothing to barely show for it, it was time to find a new way or just give up. My up line was still trying to convince me I wasn’t being patient enough.

When you feel your on a negative roll, I always say get out and do something you enjoy. Get your mind away, cause it’s easy to take yourself to seriously sometimes. I grabbed my gear and took off to the north woods for a few days.

Well needless to say the law of attraction was starting to work for me. When I got back to my senses I found what I considered to be the life saver of my internet business. This method has really changed the way I do business on the internet, and will do the same for anyone in business online.

If you want to discover the unusual secret that lets most successful net work marketers make as much as fifty thousand a month or more, you need to get the information they are using to create wealth.

We’re talking about writers block today. And how you can beat it before it beats you.

A great place to start is to point out what is causing blank page syndrome. Nice term, eh? - because it describes the problem perfectly. Or perhaps we should call it “blank screen syndrome” these days because you’re probably tapping out your articles on a keyboard with a computer screen in front of you.

1) BEWARE OF PERFECTIONISM

With this mindset, you only want to produce perfect stuff. It must be a masterpiece of literature or you won’t release it.

That opening sentence must be just right. So you reject all those half-dribbled opening lines while you wait for perfection to descend upon your keyboard. Sorry, it probably won’t happen.

Write twaddle if you need to - but start writing.

If you cant write twaddle, write codswallop.

2) BEWARE OF EDITING WHEN YOU SHOULD BE COMPOSING

Experts in how the brainstorming process works tell us to just keep up the flow of ideas. Let ‘em flow. Do nothing to stop them.

Don’t evaluate anything.

Don’t correct anything.

Don’t stifle anything.

Just let the ideas flow out of you onto the screen.

For now it doesn’t matter a whit if it’s A-grade garbage.

Let it flow.

Certainly don’t reject any idea. Just keep the ideas flowing like a gusher.

The critiquing and editing process comes later, after the brainstorming session is over. That’s how brainstorming sessions are supposed to be run. All the crazy off the wall ideas are captured and written down.

Do the same with your writing.

Write twaddle if you need to - but start writing. Leave the editing till later.

3) HOW TO GET STARTED WHEN YOU CANNOT GET STARTED

Why is it that the first sentence always seems the hardest? To folks with writer’s block, it does.

Write inane drivel for your first sentence if you need to. You can always delete it later.

ONE SOLUTION that works for me is to think of the writing task like replying to an email. Emails are so temporary - they are not intended to be works of art. They are designed to quickly get a bit of info to somebody. They’re certainly not submissions to the Literary Prize Department. They’re just you quickly dash out to say what has to be said.

Here’s how the “pretend it’s an email” trick works. I imagine my buddy or a subscriber of mine has written asking me a question and I want to dash off a quick but helpful reply. Something like

“Hi John. Got your email, thanks. In my experience, the best way to get rid of those pesky aphids from your rose bushes is…”

And you’re away.

No drama.

No performance pressure.

No thought that you are writing the next Great American Novel.

It’s just a quick email.

And the main thing is… you’ve started writing. Come back to it later with your Editor’s hat on and do the needed editing - and you’re ready to publish.

ANOTHER SOLUTION that also works for me is to just start out by saying I dont know what to say. Something like…

“i dont know what to say so i am just typing rubbish here. my article is supposed to be about how to pick a family friendly puppy but i havent a clue about what to say first of all. i wonder what sort of things parents would be thinking about as they head off to the pet shop…”

Okay. If you just delete the first useless sentence and tidy the rest up a little bit, this would be okay. It might turn out something like this…

“This article is about how to pick a family friendly puppy. What sort of things should parents be thinking about as they head off to the pet shop?”

And then you’re into it. Let the conversation flow. Start answering the question and you’re in business. Pretty soon your article has written itself.

So you’re interested in getting affiliates and you’d like to know how to recruit them. One of the best ways to attract them is by having your affiliate program listed on as many affiliate directories as possible. You don’t have to pay anything to have your program listed on these directories. However, you do have to meet certain guidelines.

Currently there are about 40 or so directories where you can post your affiliate program, in your attempt to locate those affiliates that’ll promote your opportunity. Also, be sure your program is posted under the correct category for your program.

A Word About The Directories

Keep in mind that many directories won’t list affiliate programs having anything to do with adult content or gambling, so it would be a waste of your time and effort to even attempt to list it.

Finally, most of these directories won’t list affiliate programs which are paying commissions on more than 2-levels. So now that you’re clear about this aspect of how to recruit affiliates we can move to the next.

Tips To Help You Get Listed

Before you submit your particular affiliate program to the directories, make certain you’ve first met any and all the requirements they’ve established for acceptance. You want this process to be as smooth and comfortable as possible, so be sure you’re prepared. After you’ve submitted your requests to be listed, your requests will then be reviewed by the editors of each directory you’ve applied to. Here are some factors to keep in mind as you begin this process.

Before you submit your request make sure that your program is ready. Ensure that the sign-up page is working and that the sales are being logged. Check your pages for any spelling or grammatical errors, and make sure that your logos and banners are visible.

The information page on your website should have a description about your product and/or service, the terms and conditions of your program, as well as and explanation of the commission structure. And finally, it should have a link to your home page. These are areas that simply can’t be overlooked in attempting to recruit affiliates.

Listing your affiliate program under the right category is of prime importance, if you’re going to be successful in recruiting them to promote your opportunity. Be sure you’ve chosen the most appropriate category for what you’re offering.

When you submit your request to have your particular affiliate program listed within the directories, you must have additional information in readiness such as: your destination URL, your program description, as well as your commission rates. Be prepared to submit this information for consideration.

Choose the right keywords for your program name.

Getting your program listed in the various affiliate directories, will indeed go a long way towards helping you to recruit more affiliates. However, getting your program listed under the most appropriate category for your particular program, will have you recruiting more affiliates than you can possible handle.
