REVENUE
in 5 easy steps

THE AMAZING GROWTH OF THE INTERNET HAS CREATED
new found opportunities for millions of
businesses who previously would have never been
ABLE TO COMPETE IN THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE. YET
while the low entry and marketing costs have
truly leveled the playing field for many
ENTREPRENEURS IT HAS ALSO CREATED A STAGGERING
amount of competition.

IN FACT, THE AVERAGE PERSON, AT LEAST, THOSE WHO
live in metropolitan areas, is exposed to more
than 3,500 marketing messages a day. that's
24,500 MESSAGES A WEEK AND 1.2 MILLION EACH
year.

AND TO MAKE ONLINE SALES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT,
marketing studies have shown that it takes nine
or more impressions for your business to be
REMEMBERED BY A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER. THIS MEANS
follow-up is essential. but in today's world
this type of relentless follow up for the
AVERAGE BUSINESS OWNER IS NOT OFTEN PRACTICAL.
fortunately there is a solution that many online
businesses are using every day - online
MARKETING AUTOMATION.

imagine being able to capture new leads on your
WEBSITE, BUILD CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE THROUGH
automated sequential responses, deliver products
digitally while you sleep and track all of your
PROSPECTS AND CLIENTS WITHOUT LIFTING A FINGER.
for thousands of online businesses this happens
every day.

in today's competitive environment, automation
is not a luxury; it's a requirement for keeping
THE COMPETITIVE EDGE YOU NEED. IN FACT, THE
benefits of automation are so numerous you can't
afford to ignore them.

five keys to online success:

1. CAPTURE EMAIL ADDRESSES. YOUR LIST IS YOUR
goldmine. it is critical to all your marketing
and is literally your most valuable asset. to
BUILD YOUR MAILING LIST IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU
make a compelling offer. "sign up for my mailing
list" is no longer enough. try something like
THIS: "FREE SPECIAL REPORT: THE 5 KEYS TO
dramatically boosting your website traffic in 30
days"

through online automation you can offer
digitally downloaded special reports,
E-NEWSLETTERS, MINI-EDUCATIONAL COURSES, OR FREE
trials to entice visitors to share their name
and email. when their data is entered, it is
AUTOMATICALLY PLACED IN YOUR DATABASE AND CAN BE
programmed to trigger autoresponders which are
one or multiple automated messages. share your
PRIVACY POLICY BELOW YOUR OPT-IN BOX AS WELL AS
assurance that they can unsubscribe at any time.
and of course, never spam anyone.

2. set up sequential autoresponders. a very
effective way to build trust with your prospects
IS TO OFFER A MINI-COURSE WHICH DELIVERS
content-rich, relevant information to your
opt-in subscribers. these
AUTOMATICALLY-DISTRIBUTED EMAIL MESSAGES NOT
only provide content, but also motivate
prospects to revisit your site for the latest
OFFERS. AND OF COURSE ONCE THEY CLICK THROUGH TO
your website you can offer more content
delivered via audio, video and other multi-media
OPTIONS AS WELL AS OFFERS FOR YOUR PRODUCTS AND
services.

SINCE STUDIES SHOWS THAT 48% OF SALES PEOPLE
give up after the first contact and 25% after
the second, this is a perfect way to make sure
YOUR FOLLOW-UP STAYS CONSISTENT. BEST OF ALL,
after you program the series it will perform
flawlessly for you for years to come. there are
MANY GREAT AUTOMATED SYSTEMS ON THE WEB LIKE:

3. TAKE PAYMENTS ONLINE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN
easier or more affordable to set up online
payment systems through paypal or your own
MERCHANT ACCOUNT. AND ONCE YOU SET UP YOUR
payment account it very easy to sell products or
services online by purchasing an online shopping
CART. A SHOPPING CART WILL ALLOW YOU TO CAPTURE
email addresses, automate responses, track leads
and then sell you product to customers around
THE WORLD 24/7. THESE SYSTEMS ARE SURPRISINGLY
easy to setup, operate and maintain.

4. TRACK AND MEASURE YOUR MARKETING. OVER THE
years i have trained and coached hundreds of
business owners in marketing through my
GUERRILLA MARKETING COACHING PROGRAM. THROUGH A
series of assessments it has become very clear
that most businesses fall short in the area of
MEASUREMENT.

here are some questions to consider:

1) how many unique visitors come to your
website?

2) how many visitors opt-in to your mailing list
or order your products?

3) when you send emails, how many are opened and
how many people actually click through to your
WEBSITE?

the reason these metrics are so important is
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THESE STATS, YOU WON'T
know what to improve. it could be variables like
the pulling power of your headlines, the copy or
NAVIGATION ON YOUR WEBSITE. YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL
you start measuring. many of today's automated
systems include ad trackers which automatically
CALCULATE YOUR CLICK-THROUGHS AND CONVERSION
statistics.

5. FREE UP YOUR TIME TO WORK ON THE MOST
important parts of your business

WHEN YOU AUTOMATE DAILY TASKS YOU GAIN MORE TIME
to focus on priorities for the strategic growth
of your company. this newfound discretionary
TIME COMES WITHOUT YOUR MONEY-MAKING ACTIVITIES
coming to a halt, or hiring and training staff.

ALSO WHEN YOUR BUSINESS BECOMES AUTOMATED, YOUR
presence becomes optional leaving you time to
actually take a vacation while making money at
THE SAME TIME. WITH MOST SYSTEMS YOU CAN QUICKLY
and easily check your sales and orders from any
web browser.

the internet is a competitive, ever-changing
MARKETPLACE. THE RIGHT STRATEGY COMBINED WITH
powerful and practical systems gives you an edge
over your competitors. you'll attract more
CUSTOMERS AND SPEND LESS TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY
winning them over. automation services and
software leverage the best technology available
TO MAKE YOU MONEY DAY AND NIGHT, WHETHER YOU'RE
there or not.

Is There Really Money To Be Made On The Web by Brad Collins

So you've been reading up on these Internet based money making plans and memberships to this and that and by now you've probably decided to maybe give it a go. Well I'm standing up to say that a large portion of these schemes are bogus. they make s..t loads of money all right ...for the owners of them and in my experience anything that relies on ppc (that's pay per click) will definitely make a ton of money.....for the search engine ,be it the g people or any other. I'm not trying to pour cold water on the fires of opportunity but many of these systems just don't work because they don't give you enough information to start with.I don't think all the owners of these systems are out to blatantly rip you off but lets face it, if it was just a matter of uploading a program and hitting the go button then having a bit of a tweak every other day don't you think everybody on the planet would be doing it? If, like me you have half decent capability on a computer then maybe you have a half decent chance of making some money but 20, 50 or 100k a month I seriously doubt it . That aside I don't doubt for one second that some people are making some very serious money working the web. So setting that aside here are some points that aspiring web millionaires should be aware of.
1. when you finally decide to purchase the next big thing that's going to make you millions and you cough up your $77.00 or whatever for membership into this exclusive club you will find that your $77.oo only brought half a membership and to get the the exclusive upgrade that you definitely must have you have to pay more (this is called up sell).

2. Some times after a couple of days you ll get a call on the phone from somebody selling another "up sell" in the guise of one on one coaching and this usually consists of a monthly fee (more up sell).

3. Most systems involve selling as an affiliate for more info on affiliate marketing go to http://inetincomestream.blogspot.com/ this involves selling digital products via a number of means and if your using text ads and ppc to drive traffic to you sites you can expect to pay a premium for your key words ,the g people rate your ads from 1 to 10, if you write an ad that's somehow rated a 10 you can expect to pay say 10 cents for a given key word BUT you can bet they will rate you at say 2 or 3 and you key words are now $1.20 so if you get say 40 clicks through to your sales site it will cost you $48.00. Now if you don't make a sale or multiple sales then it doesn't take long to rack up a $500.00 bill, trust me on this Ive done it.

4. Some of the best information you will get is for free. You will find once you have paid for whatever scheme your going to participate in you will then find yourself registered with the web sites owner on their mailing list so you will be getting emails from them on the next big thing and I tell you it gets hard to resist buying more when the first plan doesn't quite live up to your expectations. Currentlly I recieve around 10 -20 emails a day so Im going to have to opt out of some as I just dont have time to pick through them. Most I quickly read and delete but others I have found to have special free offers some are junk but others have proven to have outstanding potential like this one => http://www.seoelite.com/Lesson51-iu.htm

5. Article marketing sounds a lot more difficult than it really is, basically as the name suggests you choose a niche topic and write about it, usually about 350 to 500 words, attach your web link or your affiliate link and submit it to the various article directories, from there people will pick up your article (hopefully) and add it to their site as content there by creating a link to your site, this works really well but its slow going. This is simply the best way to get free traffic to your site ...BUT its really slow going. To write a 500 word article and post it to 10 or 20 directories takes a bit of time, until recently, then along came this Click Here! Mas Article Creator is the one program you must have on order to succeed in writing articles and getting them submitted. I use this a lot and its simply awesome. Open it up and have a look and I'm sure you ll agree this is a must have. You will find the link on my blog page below.

So there you have it, in short there is money to be made on the web but you need to do your research and be very patient. It wont happen overnight as some will have you believe but it can happen
