Gathering Virtual Dust?
When you first get started in Internet Marketing you have a tendency to get tons of different information and products that you are interested in but never follow through on. That is what I call gathering virtual dust.
Why am I talking about this? The reason is because when you are a newbie you can’t seem to focus and that is the very thing that is killing you! What I hope to do in this post is to make you see that you probably already have what you need in order to make money online.
The Internet moves quickly and a lot of things that worked a year ago wouldn’t work today but on the other hand, some things still do. What you have to do is figure out which things still work and what no longer does.
A good way to get a since of what is working today is to join a forum like the Warrior Forum. There you can ask questions and get a consensus from people all over the world as to what is still working on the Internet.
While you can’t give away a product owner’s method of making money publically, you can ask about a general method and if it is still viable. You might ask if article marketing still works. People will go back and forth on the topic but what I would look for is comments by experienced warriors that have been around that forum for a long time and may have even launched a WSO on that topic in the past. They won’t lead you astray because their reputation is on the line.
Before you keep buying more and more products that will just sit on your hard drive gathering virtual dust, take a look at what you already have. You just might find a nugget or two that will get you started making money online after all…
Is Traffic Really That Hard To Get?
Everyone that wants to make money online knows that one of the most important things you need is traffic to either your website or to an affiliate website. Today I’m going to talk about how to get traffic to your website faster than you ever thought possible.
I was going through the Warrior Forum the other day and a woman asked a question about paid vs. free traffic. She couldn’t understand why anyone would pay for traffic when they could get it for free from the search engines.
First of all, you should never depend on any one source of traffic. That type of thinking can put you out of business very quickly.
Second, free organic traffic is great but you are at the continued mercy of the search engine algorithms every time they make changes. We all know what they call that when it comes to our friends at Google, SLAP!
While I like free traffic I have to go with paid traffic. Why? It is more predictable and you can easily scale it up to almost as big as you want. The reason is that there are so many different paid traffic sources out there vs. there only being one source of organic traffic.
You can use paid sources like PPC, PPV, solo email ads, banners, co-registration, domain redirects, etc. and that is just to name a few.
To prove what I’m saying is true I’ll give you a really fast traffic method right now. Go to Google and search “expired domain traffic.” You will get a list of companies that you can pay to send you hundreds of thousands of real visitors from a specific country or from all over the world starting today at very reasonable prices. Just be sure to remember that I gave you this tip for crying out loud. LOL!
So the question that I asked in the beginning of this post as to if traffic is really that hard to get? The answer is no. You just need to find the right traffic source for what you are trying to do and always make sure that whatever you pick is the right type of traffic for your offer and for the overall growth of your business.
The Right People for Cash Flow
It’s a brand new year and I’ve already spoken with a lot of people that still don’t understand how money works and what it’s attracted to.
If you’re an Internet Marketer, we all know that money loves speed. But did you know that money also loves company? Even better, money loves the right company…
It is very important that you really understand what I am trying to say here. If you are around people that don’t believe in your dreams, get the hell away from those people! Those types of people will drain your spirit and will to accomplish your goals.
I’m not saying to eliminate those people from your life. I’m saying to limit your exposure to their type of thinking. You probably heard people like Frank Kern talk about how they don’t watch the news because of its perpetuation of mostly negative happenings and thoughts. Well the same holds true if you are around people that believe those negative thoughts and feelings of lack.
Empathizing with feelings of lack is one of the most damaging things that you could ever do to your chances of success. Why? Because the mind can only achieve what it believes it can and that works both ways. If you also think that you can’t achieve something then you can’t according to that same rule.
You need to surround yourself with the right types of people in order to see success. People that are positive and optimistic about what they are doing will encourage you, even if it is unspoken.
The key to all of this is to seek out people that are incredibly motivated and already have success or that won’t quit until they find success. Then you will be around the right people for cash flow.
Is There A New Clickbank?
Recently I’ve been hearing that there is a new place where affiliate marketers are going as an alternative or additional income source to Clickbank.
This place has been around for years but in the recession that we’re in it has now taken off like a rocket! Affiliates love it because it is much easier to sell products and services there because the traffic is internal, unlike Clickbank.
So what is this new Internet Marketing Mecca? It is the Warrior Forum…
The Warrior Forum is a place where people go to learn the ins and outs of Internet Marketing. But what is more incredible is that it has a section called the warriors special offers section or WSO for short. This is where any forum member can pay a small fee to post their product for sale.
WSO’s must be priced below your normal price if you are selling it elsewhere and it must be your own product and not PLR (Private Label Rights). It is very common to see WSO’s that teach you how to make money online priced at only $7. Some will begin at a certain price and are run as a dime sale where the price increases after every sale or every few sales.
By about now you are probably thinking that $7 isn’t very much to make off of a product that you’ve poured your blood sweat and tears into but you would be wrong. WSO’s that start out this low can easily make into the thousands in only a few short hours but that’s not it. You now own an asset, the buyers list!
With a buyers list you can now promote other people’s WSO’s through the Warrior Forums WSO Pro Affiliate Program. Like Clickbank it’s free to be an affiliate and with a buyers list you can make a lot of money.
The Warrior Forum is now making millions of dollars per month and there is talk that it will be the new Clickbank. Be sure to check it out for yourself because the information that you can learn there is extremely valuable and the money that you can make there is substantial…
List Building Tips
In today’s post I’m going to give you some list building tips that will save you both time and money.
If you’ve heard it once you’ve heard it a thousand times; “The money is in the list.” But what if you don’t yet have a list? How are you going to get at the money that is in it?
First of all the money is in the relationship that you have with the list. You could have the biggest list around but if they don’t like you they will either unsubscribe or ignore you all together.
The best list building tip that I can give you is to give it away. What I mean is the money! That’s right, the money! Let me explain…
One of the fastest and best ways to get a great responsive list is to get it from someone else that has a great relationship with them already. This is actually easier than it sounds.
What you need to do is create something like an ebook or a product and allow a list owner to sell it to their list. The secret is that you let the list owner keep 100% of the money and you get the buyers list.
A buyers list is so much more important than a prospect list because you know that every one of those people are action takers and will spend money online for something that they want. Most will tell you that a buyer is 15 times more likely to spend money than an interested prospect.
It doesn’t end there. Now that you have a buyers list you must cultivate your relationship with the people on that list. Let them get to know you by providing good content, not just sales pitch after sales pitch.
Now rinse and repeat this process over and over again because people will opt out of your list no matter how good you are. That is just how people are. Always keep building for that reason. The trick is to get more people joining your list than leaving your list, and that just goes back to what I was saying about being good at connecting with people so that they know like and trust you.
There you have it. Those are a few list building tips that will help you get started in Internet Marketing and thrive…
