Print and keep this checklist handy for the next time you send a promotional email to your list or to a prospect if you want more email opens, product sales and online profits... __ Do you get to the point right away? Do not tell them about the last four hours you spent watching television or mowing the lawn unless it’s pertinent to the story. __ Are you telling a story? Ideally you should tell an interesting story in every email you send to increase your open rates. __ WIIFT... What’s in it for them? Don’t just tell them how great your product is. Tell them what they get for taking the action you’re promoting. __ “So what?” Read the email as if you were the recipient, and see if they would ask, “So what?” You want to fascinate and excite them to click that link. __ Is your writing boring? Uh-oh. Not talking about what’s in it for them, or writing “so what” emails are leading causes of massive email boredom. __ Are ...

Let me ask you a question: Are you on a certain marketer’s email list? You know the one – he sends out an email every day or two telling you to go check out “X” product because it’s new, revolutionary, exciting and the most amazing thing ever? Yeah, that guy. I’m on his list, too. In fact, I’m on the list of a couple of dozen marketers who fit that description. And the fact is, I seldom open their emails anymore, much less buy their recommendations. And I bet you’re the same way. So who do you buy from? The marketers you trust, right? Me too. And here’s who I trust the most: The marketer who actually USES the product they promote to me, and then records a video of them using it, or writes an HONEST review of it. It’s so simple. It’s so easy. And yet 99% of marketers never do these things. You want to promote a product to your list. You get the product – maybe you buy it, maybe the product owner gives it to you. You ...

Here’s a sneaky little underused tactic for making money before you even create your product: Decide what your product is going to be and write an outline for it. From this, create a list of bullet points that presell the product. homebusinessideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/makemoremoney.jpg" alt="How to Raise Money for Product Creation"> Now using these bullet points, offer your upcoming product to your list as a Beta test. Tell your list: The product is being created right now They will get the product the moment it’s finished – expected delivery date is ___ They are getting a killer deal because you want and need their feedback They are your beta testers. If it’s software, they will look for bugs. If it is written material, they will let you know about typos, what they think should be added, etc. Once you get their feedback, you will fix any bugs, add what’s missing, fix typos, etc. and send them the finalized, polished version. You will t...

You know webinars are a great way to sell products. Hop on a webinar, talk for 30 to 60 minutes and sell some products right there on the spot. Then rinse and repeat as many times as you like, buddying up with a different list owner each time. It’s simple, it’s fairly easy, and the more you do the better you’ll get. But for many marketers, it’s scary to get on the Internet and talk to tens, hundreds and maybe even a thousand people at one time. “Me? Talk for an HOUR? To PEOPLE?” Here’s something to consider: You don’t need your own list to run webinars. If you have a great product or service, you can go to list owners and split the money with them. What an outstanding way to get access to other people’s lists and make money doing it! And most list owners love doing webinars because it’s almost hands off cash in the bank for them. All they do is send out one or more emails to their list, and you do the rest of the work. This mea...

There are thousands of courses you can buy that will tell you how to make money online. But there is only one method – sell something to someone . That’s it – that’s the ‘secret’ to making money online. And once you know the ‘secret,’ it’s just a matter of deciding what you’re going to sell and who you’re going to sell it to. The easiest way to do that? If you already know the basics of marketing, then probably the easiest method is to turn off your Internet connection and just get busy. Because building your online business while buying every IM program that comes along is a lot like trying to get across town when you’ve got a hundred people telling you different ways to get there. “You gotta have the right shoes or you’re not gonna make it – buy these.” “You better buy our raincoat, it could rain and then you’d be in trouble” “Dude, use my method and you can avoid th...

Long story short – people buy based on the benefits, and then they justify their decision based on the features. That’s why you need both to sell. homebusinessideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/redpillbluepill-scaled.jpg" alt="Use THIS to Get the Sale and THAT to Keep the Sale"> No one buys a lawn mower because it has a big engine – he buys it because he can cut his lawn in half the time and spend twice as much time golfing. He buys it because he can cut even the tallest grass without stalling out and making himself look like an idiot for not cutting his grass sooner. And he buys it because something this big and powerful can only make him look bigger and more powerful to his neighbors and his wife (or so he hopes). But when he’s bragging about his new mower to their next door neighbor, he’s talking about how much horsepower that baby has, how it’s made out of the same metal as the space shuttle, and how a team of 4 inspectors go over the entire...

You may have noticed that Internet marketing goes through phases where everyone seems to be jumping on the same bandwagon. That wagon might be the latest, greatest social network. It might be paid newsletters or membership sites or video marketing or... You get the point. There are times when it seems everyone is coming out with a new product that does basically the same thing as the previous dozen products, and they're all competing against each other for customers. This is when you can be a copycat or smart cookie. Let's say the newest, greatest thing is $10 a month paid newsletters. (Yes, I know that was a number of years ago, but this is just an example.) The copy cats observe that courses on how to write and sell little newsletters for small prices to lots of people are selling like hotcakes. And because they're copycats, they create their own courses and jump into the selling fray. The competition gets stiffer and stiffer and soon underhanded techniques are being used...
