5 Ways to Increase Your Profits

Image
(And One Is Very Easy, Wanna Guess Which One?) There are only 5 ways to increase the money you're earning in your online business. Every method you might think of falls into one of these five categories. And at least one of these methods can put more money in your pocket within the next week – can you guess which one(s)? Get more traffic to your offer Increase the profit you're making on each sale Sell more stuff to your current customers Cut your expenses Make more sales If you do all five, obviously you'll see more money. But some of these take more effort than others, so let's review them one by one: Get more traffic to your offer This is much easier said than done. You can tweak your SEO to rank higher, you can solicit joint ventures and recruit affiliates, you can hit social media and even buy traffic. While all of these can be good, none of them tend to be quick or easy. Increase the profit you're making on each sale You might do this by increasing the ...

How to DOUBLE Profits in Your Existing Business

Image
Just a side note: What you’re about to discover here can also be used to help others squeeze more profits out of their online businesses, as well. In fact, you could build an entire business out of making other people’s businesses more profit using these simple methods. Before you create new products and new profit streams, it makes good sense to maximize the earnings in your existing business. To show you how this might be done, I’m going to use a membership site as an example. I love memberships because of the continuity of payments you receive. After all, why get paid just once on a sale if you can get paid every month for several months or longer, right? Let’s say you (or your client) have a membership site. Naturally, the first thing you want to look at is increasing your conversions. First, you work on increasing conversions on your squeeze page, to get as many new (free) subscribers as possible. The more subscribers / prospects you have, the more of these ...

News Jacking

How to Inject Your Ideas into a Breaking News Story And Generate Tons of Media Coverage There's a book out with the above title, and I highly recommend you grab a copy. It's only available as a digital download and it's less than 6 bucks at Amazon. I'll try to summarize here in my own words, but this is no substitute for getting the book, reading it and above all using it to generate free publicity for you and your business. News breaks every second of every day, providing you with literally endless opportunities to get your business free publicity. And I don't have to tell you that publicity is worth far, far more than advertising, and yet it costs you NOTHING. If you're in the U.S., does the Donald Trump presidential campaign ring any bells for you? Look at it from a reporter's point of view – they already have the who, what, when and where – what they need is the “why,” and that's where you come in. Journalists need original content, and they need it ...

Be Yourself, Don't Talk About Yourself

Image
The data is in – if you want people to pay attention to you online, you need to do the following two things: Be your original self. Don't be ordinary, be unusual. Be different. Don't talk about yourself much. Here's what we know: Tweets with uncommon words and phrasing get retweeted 4 to 5 times as much as common tweets. This means if you sound like everyone else and use the same words as everyone else, your message will get lost in the crowd of clones. The more original your style, the more likely people are to pay attention to your content and forward it. (And also remember your content, but we don't have data on that.) And it makes good sense. After all, if you're saying the same things everyone else is saying, why would anyone retweet your stuff? Now then, if you want more followers on Twitter, don't talk about yourself so much. There's a direct correlation to referencing yourself less and having higher follower counts. Not to mention the fact that yo...

12.5 PLR Tips from the Pros

Image
The Good, The Bad and the Super Profitable Believe it or not, in online marketing the pros (and we’re defining “pro” as six figures of annual income) use PLR all the time. They just don’t advertise it. (Would you?) Private Label Rights (PLR) is content you can use as you own. You can use it just as it is or modify it. And you get to claim authorship – hence, the name ‘private’ label rights. You’re already familiar with the “bad,” and that refers to the quality of some PLR. Obviously, it pays to buy well researched, well written PLR products. If you have to completely re-write the content, then you might as well have created it from scratch. The good news is, most PLR these days is a higher quality than what we saw in the past. We can thank low sales of lousy PLR for this. Makers of PLR want to make sales, and they realize that the junk just wasn’t selling well – or worse yet, it sold well and then refunded like cra...

Create a $300 Training Program in 7 Days

…even if you’re the world’s worst procrastinator. I’ve used this technique to create all sorts of things, from a free bonus I put together and gave away for an affiliate product, all the way up to $1,000 training programs. Creating content and products is a huge obstacle for most marketers because it takes so much time and effort. But what if you had a way to create products – such as expensive training programs – that you could finish in a week? And better still, what if you got paid for them before they were even done? The first key you need is a big, fat, public DEADLINE. If your deadline is public, then you will move heaven and earth to get it done – or at least I hope you will. If you don’t, you’re in for some major public ridicule and embarrassment, not to mention the fact that you are letting people down. The second key here – and this goes hand in hand with the first - is you’re going to sell what you’re se...

You Don't Have To Be Super Smart To Succeed Online

The kid who got straight A's in school is probably the most successful person from that class, right? Actually, no. While good grades and a high I.Q. can be helpful, they not only don't guarantee success - they sometimes hamper success. After all, life is not school. And the skills it takes to get great grades don't always transfer over into running a successful online business. Heck, I know people who struggled in high school and never made it to college who are pulling down 6 and 7 figure incomes online. How do they do it? By possessing the following traits... They have the drive to succeed . How you define success will determine exactly what this means to you. Success for you might be making as much money as possible, it might be furthering a cause of yours, or it might be one of a hundred other things. Whatever it is, you've got to have a need to reach this success that you can feel in your bones. It should be your total focus so that your mind is constantly at work...
