Let me take you back
almost seven years to when I first started out in my online
marketing career, I have an important lesson I'd like to share
with you that almost destroyed my business, and if you can
avoid it, all the better.
It all started with the very first site I put up. It was
entirely online business based, and with dollar signs floating
around in front of my face (you know how it is) I dove in
headfirst and put up a membership site. This was no ordinary
membership site though, it was packed full of live tools such
as ad tracking, autoresponders, forums, conference rooms,
reviews of services I'd tried and the like.
Everything went well for a few
months...
I'd just started out with only bare bones knowledge of
business and no online business experience, but before long I
was sitting pretty with enough members to replace the income
from my job and things were peachy.
The problem was, I was totally unprepared for what came
next...
It all started one cold November morning when I received an
e-mail from my host stating I'd used all my available
resources (those autoresponders really took a lot to run I
tell you). Anyway, from then on things went downhill. I had
quit my job, but I'd spend all day wrestling with server
resources to keep the site afloat, meanwhile my marketing was
suffering, new customers were sparse and things started going
south.
To cut a long story
short..
Nine months later, I found
myself bogged down even more so than with my 9-5 job. Things
were really going badly, and if I had any hope of redeeming my
business, I had to close the site down, which indeed I did. So
here I was over a year later back where I started. What a
waste. Or was it?
If you take nothing else away with you
today, ask yourself this.
Do I have the resources available, the time and money
available to run my online business? Do I know which method of
presentation, whether it be single sale, membership, licensing
is right for me and my business? These are the questions I
thought I knew the answer to, and only just recently, after
seven years of trial, error and a heck of a lot of cash
($38,378 to be exact) do I truly know how to answer these
questions and avoid business disasters like the one you just
read about.
Are you headed
for disaster without even knowing it? If you don't have seven
years and a spare $38,378 laying about your home to find out,
consider this:
• Did you know the
choices you make before you even finish creating your products
determine how successful you're going to be? There
are 5 key points to consider, and if even one is out of
alignment, you're in big trouble. I'll show you exactly how to
carry out this process, and you'll never launch your products
in the same way again.
• It's far easier to
reach the income you desire through creating your own
products, something that it's clear many out there
have probably heard, but are not grasping. Is your business
shaping up to launch with a big money grabbing bang, or a
little quiet hiss that will fizzle out just a month or two
down the line?
• Profitable Affiliate
Only Promotion. There's only one way that I know of to be able
to wake up in the morning, fire out some ads, and guarantee
you'll have thousands of dollars sitting in your account at
the end of the day. Most won't like the answer, but
it's need to know information, so I'll give it to you
anyway.
• 3 Ways To Spice Up
Your Sales Figures through methods of presentation.
Did you know that you could actually be making a higher volume
of sales by raising your price? Never feel you have to sell
your months of hard graft, and the products that you're so
proud of for a cheap $10 or $20 again.
• 12 ways to build a
fluid situation. The way in which you present your
product will ultimately determine how much cash you're going
to rake in. Can you get affiliates to promote for you? Can you
secure the all important high profit joint ventures? Will
anybody even buy your products at all? No more guessing games
or time wasting, I've got proven facts and answers for you
right here.
• Finally create the
business empire you want. Which is the best way to
go? Single sale? Membership? High priced? Low priced? A mix of
all of them? Each method has distinct advantages and
disadvantages that if you're not aware of, you're literally
giving your money away. I've done the dirty work, and spent
the cash to test all this out. Now I'm going to make these all
clear from you right from the word go, so that you can
concentrate on more important (and far less costly) aspects of
your business.
• Thinking Beyond Profits.
The biggest mistake a majority of marketers make is
that they don't think beyond profit. Money is all they see.
I'll show a little used method that in my experience could
increase your chances of success by ten or twenty
times.
" Membership downfalls. 3 mistakes to avoid when
thinking about creating a membership site. 3 problems
that many didn't even know existed until they smacked into
them headfirst destroying their profits, not just now, but for
years to come. Learn to avoid these devastating pitfalls and
prosper.
" Calculating the risks. Did you know the risks you
take when you set up a membership site compared to single sale
are huge? When I say this to my new contacts, most of
them don't even know why. Learn to avoid being one of them, or
this is going to hit you where it hurts - In the
pocket.
" The high income, low maintenance option.
I'll show you a little used method of presentation that has
the potential to both give you a high reoccurring income, but
without the big risks and expenses of a full blown membership
site. (Here's a clue, many of the big earners are using this
to their advantage right now or have used it within the past 9
months)
" The number one most devastating occurrence that
lands in online business owners laps *extremely*
often. You'd do best to avoid it before it hits you,
or maybe it already has and you don't know it (you'll know if
you've been in the business for 9 months or more, and still
haven't reached your goals). Learn what it is today, and stamp
it out to stop if affecting you tomorrow.
" Is the time right for you? You know,
many people run out their and start creating their own sites
and products without really looking at what it'll take out of
their pocket in the short term (regardless of what it'll put
in at the end of the day). Do you really have the time and
money to put into a successful online business? You might be
surprised to find out that you have more flexibility with this
than you thought.
" If you've ever thought about launching a product
to make a profit, you're losing money. A bold
statement, but how can that be? It's simple. There are many
other roles for sites to fill other than to sell products over
and over again. When you start launching products for profit,
you can make money. When you start building sites for other
reasons, you can get rich. I'll show you how both work. Which
path you take is up to
you.
