Using Autoresponders To Multiply Marketing Power &

An autoresponder gives you the ability to send messages
effortlessly for months on end. So if you captured an email
address six months ago, your autoresponder can repeatedly
contact that person to offer your product or service.

> WASH-RINSE-REPEAT

Repeat contact is a concept that top marketers first used
effectively in the offline world. When you conduct a direct
mail campaign, you send out message after message until
it`s no longer cost-effective. This strategy yields a much
higher response rate than with a one-shot mailing
(typically just 1% or less).

-From the Research Labs: Research shows that, on average,
A PROSPECT MUST BE CONTACTED SEVEN TIMES before you have
any real chance at closing a sale.

> BE IN THE TOP 10

If you apply this strategy to your Internet marketing
campaigns, you`ll have a real edge over the competition.
Remember: 90% of businesses do not follow-up with
prospects!

> TECHIQUE #1 - THE "KILL OVERKILL" TECHNIQUE

You don`t want an email-inbox crammed with ads and sales
letters, and neither does anyone else. Don`t send out
sales letter after sales letter. Your messages will become
an annoyance and the recipient will either unsubscribe or
just delete the messages whenever they arrive.

By sending a series of sales letters SPACED APART BY 2-4
DAYS, you`ll keep your prospect aware of your business and
develop credibility over time without being a pest.

> TECHNIQUE #2 - THE "MY GIFT TO YOU" TECHNIQUE

Send freebies such as ebooks, info reports, newsletters,
software, or even product samples. Many marketers use this
approach by offering a newsletter.

-Sneaky Salesmanship: Within the newsletter you have an
excellent opportunity to plug your product with a few lines
of irresistible copy.

With the soft sell approach, you can contact your prospect
once or even twice a week with "valuable information" --
which coincidentally mentions your product or service --
without seeming like you`re over-selling. If you`re a
vacuum cleaner distributor, for example, send a newsletter
on allergies and dust mites, for example.

> TECHNIQUE #3 - THEY'LL LEARN/YOU'LL EARN TECHNIQUE

Give away a valuable training course via email that has
special appeal to your recipients! You can create a simple
3-day, 5-day, 7 day, or even longer course. And at the end
of some of the course lessons you can add a few lines of
copy plugging your product or service.

This, too, is a soft sell approach.

> TECHNIQUE #4 - COMBO PLATTER TECHNIQUE

Use a variation of the hard sell, soft sell approach.
Simply alternate your messages. A balance of 40% hard-sell
and 60% soft-sell is generally about right.

The Big Secret To Making MORE Affiliate Sales

If you are involved in affiliate marketing either as an
affiliate or as a product owner, then you know that not all
affiliates make the same level of sales.

In affiliate marketing, less than 5% of the affiliates make
over 95% of the sales for many affiliate programs.

Why is that?

The top five percent of affiliates understand and apply the
proper techniques and psychology. Here are two quick
examples:

1) Mega-successful affiliates understand that customers
don't like to be sold to. People like to feel that they
made the buying decision. People do NOT like to feel like
they were tricked of pressured into buying something.

Super affiliate respond to this knowledge by making it less
obvious that they will profit from a prospect making a
purchase. One easy way to do this is by cloaking affiliate
links so that they are less "in your face." Cloaked
affiliate links don't scream "Buy this product so that I
can earn money from you!"

Really savvy super affiliates understand that even when
they use low-pressure tools like video, they STILL need to
cloak the affiliate links. That means that they don't need
to send prospects to an affiliate url to view the video,
they need to direct their prospects to a video that is
streamed from THEIR own url.

I won't get into the technical side of cloaking affiliate
links in this article. I will tell you that the easiest
way to stream videos promoting affiliate products from your
site is by using Camtasia videos branded with your
affiliate link. You can see a demonstration of how easy
that can be by watching the short video at:
http://WillieRecommends.com/MakingMoreAffiliateSales/

2) Mega-successful super affiliates also understand that
the single biggest obstacle that you have to overcome is
that people don't believe you. They are convinced that all
Internet marketers are scammers, and con artists… out to
TRICK them out of their money.

Your customers won't tell you this... unless you listen
really hard.

That obstacle is really easy to overcome. You just need to
provide PROOF of what you say. You provide proof in
testimonials, statistics from trusted sources, seals from
trusted third parties, and visual proof.

For visual proof, video is the perfect tool again. Instead
of telling someone how easy a piece of software is to use,
use Camtasia screen capture software to record a short
video of you using the software. Show them step-by-step
just how easy it really is! At the end of the software,
redirect the viewer to your sales page or order form.

In doing the above, you've just solved two problems. You've
provided that much-needed proof, and you've eliminated
requiring the customer to decide whether or not to click on
your link. Both of these move the prospect toward a buying
decision very powerfully.

Since I like to keep things simple, and I'm smart enough to
continue using what has proven VERY effective, I like using
Camtasia videos branded with my affiliate url to solve the
two problems outlined above. Again, my preferred tool is
at: http://WillieRecommends.com/MakingMoreAffiliateSales/

Let's briefly look at this from the affiliate program
manager's perspective...

In affiliate marketing, two affiliate programs can have
nearly identical products, yet one can make 100 times the
sales of the other. Why is that?

One of the biggest, least-acknowledged factors involved in
an affiliate program succeeding massively is the
requirement for the affiliate program to nourish the
psychological needs of the affiliates.

Affiliates need to feel like equal partners with the
affiliate program - not someone begging for crumbs!

Affiliates need to have their lists and customers respect
them as the source of solutions to their problems.

Both of the above factors mean that the successful
affiliate program manager must make it easy for the
affiliate to be the source. Instead of only providing
affiliates with tools that brand the affiliate product,
they provide affiliates with tools that brand them, their
sites, and their urls. They provide them with tools that
can be downloaded, streamed, or accessed from their sites.

Three tools that accomplish this well, and that ALL
affiliate program managers should be providing their
affiliate with are:

1) Rebrandable PDF reports

2) Articles that they can insert their cloaked affiliate
links into and then use on their websites, on their blogs,
in their ezines, and in their ebooks.

3) Rebrandable Camtasia (Flash) videos. The tool preferred
by experienced affiliate program managers for providing
these branded videos, hands-free is called CS Brander. The
CS is an in "Camtasia Studio :-) You can see a
demonstration of that powerful tool that supercharges
affiliate programs at:
http://WillieRecommends.com/MakingMoreAffiliateSales/

As you can see, the big secret to making more affiliate
sales whether you are the affiliate, or the product owner,
is to use the proper tools. You don't need to reinvent the
wheel or create "bleeding-edge" technology. You simply need
to use what numerour very successful affiliates have proven
works.

You also don't really need to master dozens of tools. You
need to use the ones that have proven the most effective.
In this article I highly recommended using video, to an
extent because most of your customers have been conditioned
to sit and watch video from a very early age. Unlike
reading, watching video takes no effort on your prospect
part. Your messages gets through very effectively.

5 Ways Anyone Can Start Making Money Online As Soon As Today

A lot of people ask this question all the time.

"How do I make money online quickly?"

My answer is generally, "You don't!" You have to work for
it to make it happen.

But, the truth is, there are a few ways to make money
rather quickly and even as soon as today.

Here are just 10 of ways to make money online in no
specific order…

1. Sell something on Ebay. It "almost" doesn't matter
what it is. Maybe it's something old you have lying around
the house. Heck as long as you're honest and say what it
is you're selling, you can make money on there. There are
people on Ebay right now selling, of all things, "Broken
Cell Phones!" Yes people even buy broken stuff.

2. Blog for money. Blogging has become so popular and
important in the eyes of the search engines that you can
now get paid to, blah blah, I mean write about things you
like, don't like or stuff you know about. PayPerPost.com is
the place to go.

3. Sell your services. With the sheer number of
freelancer websites out there, if you have a skill someone
needs, SELL IT!

Here are places you can go to sell your services.

Script Lance: www.Scriptlance.com

Guru: www.Guru.com

4. Sell other peoples products. It's called affiliate
marketing and it's a term you'll hear bandied around the
internet quite a bit. But… the fact is, affiliate
marketing is growing in the billions of dollars of revenue
and income made on the internet. Go to any major
"affiliate network" or big ecommerce website like
Target.com and you can find an affiliate signup link
somewhere on the page. There, you sign up to become a
reseller of their products and they give you a percentage
of the sale. You've just become their freelance or remote
sales force. All you have to do is use online advertising
methods such as Pay Per Click using Google Adwords or
something similar and you can use it to sell other peoples'
products through your "affiliate link" by placing small
"classified like" ads on their pay per click network. A
person sees the ad, they click to the website you're
advertising and if they buy, you get paid! Even if you
make as little as $50 a day, that's a nice start and heck,
it can pay your bills. Remember you have to invest money in
your advertising but would you spend $200 a month to make
$1,500? Of course you would!

5. Start your own website. This is probably the most
difficult one of these but it really isn't difficult once
you know the steps you need to take in order to accomplish
it. I can't possibly explain them all in detail here but,
I can give you a quick list. * Get a domain
name. * Get a website hosting account.
* Get an Autoresponder. You will need one to collect the
names and email addresses of your customers and/or
visitors. * Get an HTML editing software like
Microsoft Frontpage or a free one like NVU * Get
FTP software. FTP means File Transfer Protocol and it is
the best method to transfer files on to your website
hosting account. These are files like webpages and such.
Filezilla is a great free choice for the beginner.
* Get a way to process credit cards. You can start our
with Paypal and even expand your business using all of
their services. It's free to join, fast and secure for you
and your customers. * Create a digital product,
get the resale rights to one or sell a physical product.
It really doesn't matter as long as it's something there is
a need or a want for. * Put up a page selling
your product. * Advertise and send traffic to
your website. * Collect your Money and follow-up
with your customers!

I know that last one was a bit overly simplistic, but like
I said, "It's way too much to get into here."

Keep in mind that these are just 5 among the dozens of
other ways to make money online. Take action and change
your life!

Using Auto-responders to Automate Your Online Affiliate Business

Making a great living as an affiliate marketer is becoming
more and more possible for the average person - regardless
of expertise or education.

What's more it is possible to entirely automate the process
of selling online from following up with your prospects
through to product sale, delivery and beyond.

Remember, the affiliate sale and after sales process,
including support and product delivery are covered by the
merchant or product owner. So, if you are an affiliate
marketer you can forget about that aspect of your business.
This part is already automated as far as you are concerned.

What's left then? Well, skipping over how you will get
visitors to visit your website, there is the small task of
following up with leads and prospects.

It would be virtually impossible to do this manually once
your web business starts to grow. It may be doable if you
are getting 1 to 2 leads per day BUT what happens when this
number grows to 10, 20, 50 or maybe even 100 leads per day?

The reason I setup my online business was because I wanted
more freedom in my life. If I'm following up with leads all
day long then any freedom I have has disappeared.

This is why it is important to me and I'm sure to you to
put as much of our business on auto-pilot as possible.

If you setup an email capture form and followup
autoresponder to automate the sales process then you can
concentrate all your efforts on marketing your website.

Your only job then would be to send visitors to your
website with your lead capture form. Once they enter your
autoresponder the rest is on automatic pilot - from
followup through to sale. The end result of which will be
affiliate commission checks in your mailbox or bank account.

Using autoresponders to sell your affiliate products is an
absolute must as far as I am concerned if you are serious
about building a successful affiliate business.

Using such services frees up a lot of your time to get on
with marketing and developing your business to new and
greater heights.

At no other time in history has there been an easier way to
create automatic income streams than the opportunities
being presented to online entrepreneurs. It is up to you to
take advantage of the technology available and apply it to
your business.

The costs involved are so low that it would be downright
idiotic not to get your own affiliate followup system.

Making Money Online With Paid Survey Websites

I know that you're interested in making money online by
taking paid surveys because you're reading this article.
You may have done some research already and have a plan for
what sites to join or the best way to start making money
online through paid surveys and that is great. What I want
to do here is give you some additional information about
paid surveys and paid survey websites that will help you
make more money and avoid some common paid survey traps.

The number one most important thing to remember is never
pay a membership fee to a paid survey site. Not to take
the surveys and not to get a list of paid survey sites. I
can't tell you this enough. This is not the right path to
making money online. There are many sites out there that
want you to pay for access to a list of paid survey sites,
but the information they are selling you is freely
available on the internet. Don't ever pay for this
information "" you can get it for free.

Next make sure that you sign up for more than just one paid
survey site. You may make some money this way, but each
site only has a limited number of offers. If you get just
5 offers a week from one company you won't make much, but
if you sign up with 10 or 20 companies then you'll be
getting 50-100 offers a week and can make much better
money. Doing paid surveys for cash is a numbers game, the
more sites you register at the better off you will be. If
one site makes you $5 a week then 20 sites will make you
$100 a week. A much better way of making money online!

The third thing you need is a bit of patience. Most people
that sign up for paid survey sites quit before things
really get rolling. It takes some time to get used to
taking the surveys and after a bit of practice you'll find
that you can do them with your eyes closed. This is when
you can really start making money online. Also, you'll
find that some of the survey sites don't post payments to
your account until AFTER their study closes. This can take
up to a month and in the meantime it looks like you're not
making any money. So, people get discouraged and give up.
Don't give up! Keep at it for 3 months and you will start
to see some real money coming in.

It doesn't matter what kind of paid survey site it is these
tips will help you make the most money possible with paid
surveys. If you follow these suggestions you'll have more
offers than you're able to complete and best of all you'll
be creating a steady flow of income that can help pay the
bills, pay for a vacation or anything else you need some
extra cash for. Mine is going into my retirement fund and
it has been growing like it's on steroids.

Start taking paid surveys today and you will know that you
can be making money online, every month, any time you want,
just by completing surveys and offers for free.
