The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business

The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business

By Jimmy D. Brown

My wife laughs every time she sees me doing it.

At least once or twice every week, I'll be at my desk (or
at the dining room table) with my Franklin Covey planner
open and a stack of laminated checklists in hand.

"What are you doing, honey?" she calls, already knowing
the answer.

"I'm planning," I reply with a smile.

She laughs and I get back to work.

She laughs because she swears I spend half of my time
"planning". But, if you ask me how I'm able to get as
much work done as I do in only 3 hours a day, I'll point
to a black Franklin Covey planner with about a dozen
laminated checklists inside.

Building an Internet business is easy. Seriously. I'm
not saying that it's not complicated, because it is. I'm
just saying that it's easy to accomplish if you just have
a system in place.

There's very little in this world that can't be
accomplished with the right set of action steps in front
of you.

Today, I'm going to give you such a system for building
your Internet business. There are only 4 steps...

1. Decide What You Want To Do. Do you want to run an
eBay(R) business? Be an affiliate marketer? Buy and sell
reprint rights? Get involved in niche marketing? While
all of those things will likely find their way into your
plan in time, you gotta begin with one thing at a time.

My recommendation: Choose a "broad" topic you are
interested in and begin building a list of folks interested
in that topic.

2. Determine A Weekly Action Plan. After you decide what
you want to do, it's time to determine how to get it done.
What I do is this: I create a weekly set of action steps.
That is,I have a set of things I do on Monday, on Tuesday
and so forth. Decide how many hours (as little as ONE) you
want to work each day and schedule yourself a reasonable
amount of things to get done in that time frame. Repeat
this process week after week.

My recommendation: Begin writing ezine articles to
promote your list ... and affiliate programs. It's the
easiest way to get free traffic and build your list at the
same time.

3. Devote Yourself To Staying On Schedule. The important
thing here is to stick to it. The easiest way that I know
of to make certain you develop discipline in your schedule
is to NOT set unrealistic expectations. Give yourself ample
time to do each day's action step - don't overschedule.
Look for progress along the way to celebrate. Reward
yourself when you've reached a milestone. And, remember,
you're GROWING a business. Just like physical growth, it
takes time ... it WILL happen if you remain committed.

My recommendation: Weave in simple activities related to
the following categories - List building (ezine articles),
product creation(conduct interviews or hire ghostwriters),
site development (making your site convert more visitors into
buyers)and education (continuing to learn new ways to grow
your business)

4. Develop Additional Shortcuts. As you get better and
better at working with your lists, creating products and
tweaking your site,you'll want to continue to improve your
business with new ideas,strategies, tools and resources.
The key is simple: never stop learning!

Visit forums. Read articles. Download reports. Identify
sites and resources that CONTRIBUTE to your success in
educating you. You want faster results, bigger increases,
automated processes,and other ways to get more accomplished
and more profit, with less work involved.

Everything depends on you developing a plan and sticking to
it.

And that is the REAL secret to building a high-profit
Internet business!

Foolproof Marketing Strategies

Foolproof Marketing Strategy Part 1

(You may copy and redistribute this file to your subscribers in any way you like. You may replace any link with your affiliate link as well.)

The fatal mistake most new Internet Marketers make is to look for a "hot" product to sell online. It is of no use to have such a product and then you cannot find a market for it. It is much better to first find a ready market that is easy to target and then supply them with a product or service that they want.

You may think that everyone needs your product but it might be difficult to convince them to buy it from you. Yes, there is a huge difference between "want" and "need". You might need to take medicine for your high cholesterol each day but do you want to buy it? Only your doctor will be able to convince you to take it.

Do not try to sell any product or service online until you have found an eager market for it. First find the right market and then find what your market wants.

Now you may ask: "What is the right market and how do I find it?" This is a very good question to ask and luckily not very difficult to answer. The right market is any group of people that you can easily define and which is not difficult to reach online. For instance jewellers are an easily defined group of people and you will easily find them by searching for forums where they regularly meet. Just use Google or Yahoo to search for any forum where your group might gather to exchange views or ask questions.

Forums are also the place where you will find what your market wants. Look for recurring questions or basic problems that the users might have. Now find a solution for their problem and create a product that will give them the solution and you have a winner. This might sound very simple but it is exactly what you should do and it is not as difficult as you might think.

First of all you need not even create your own product to offer to your market. You can find products that already exist that will solve the problems of your new market. This does not mean that you will never create your own product. To create your own product will be one of the strategies we will investigate in great detail at a later stage once you have been able to build a list.

Who are the biggest group of people that is very easy to target on the Internet? The most people who visit the Internet are people who are looking for a solution to a problem they have or they are looking for some information. Recently most of them are looking for ways in which they can earn some extra money due to the worsening of the economy outside. At some stage most of these "newbies" will land up at the Traffic Exchanges as it is the easiest place to get free traffic. However they will soon realize that it is not so easy to sell any product there.

Let us examine the Traffic Exchange users in more detail:

• Most of them are new to Internet Marketing
• They want more traffic for their product link
• They have a limited budget
• They are looking for ways to make more money
• They are looking for ways to earn more credits with less effort
• They are not looking to buy any products
• They would be interested in services that will help them to surf less with better results
• Most of them get very poor click through rates and they do not know why they are not able to sell more products.

For those of you who are not familiar with Traffic Exchanges let me quickly explain what they are. It is a program where you can display your offer to others in exchange for looking at what they are offering. Most of the time you will earn 1 credit for every two pages that you view. Your offer will be shown to one person for each credit that you have gathered. That is why most users will only look at other pages to earn as many credits as quickly as they can. With browsers like Mozilla FireFox it is even possible to open several windows simultaneously and you can earn up to 5 or 6 times as many credits in the same time.

Normally you have to view a certain page for at least 10 seconds before you can move to the next. With FireFox you can open several pages at once and by the time you reach the last one, the time has lapsed and you can move on to the next page. This will cause your viewer to see your page for only 2-3 seconds. That will make it very difficult to sell your product directly to any Traffic Exchange user that are mainly surfing to earn more credits. But what if you offer them exactly what they are looking for - more free credits? With a good headline that will catch their attention and an offer they cannot resist, you might just get them to have a closer look at your offer.

What Product or Service Would Interest This Group?

• Some way to learn how to make money online
• A way in which they can get more free traffic to their website
• Any product or service that is free and save them time
• Some way to earn them more credits with less effort
• To get more clicks while building a list of eager buyers
• A way to automatically promote their offer without selling direct

How would you create a product or service that would combine a solution to all of the above? A training site to teach you all the necessary marketing skills you need to effectively market online would certainly help. If this site will build your list while promoting your Primary Business automatically to your subscribers, then you will near your goal. If you can offer such a service at no cost to the user and still make money, then you have a winner.

I have searched the Net for such a solution and have found several programs. Most of these programs will either force you to join their MLM business or are loaded with so many adverts that it will actually distract your subscribers from what you want to achieve. Free is not always 'free'.

Luckily not all programs are the same and I have found a simple gem among all the hype and dishonesty. This system was creates by a young man called Darren Olander who have been involved in Internet Marketing from the age of 17. His system is called the AllNetworkers Team and it is really free to join and you can use it fully at no cost to you. There are paid programs involved as well (how else will you be able to make money yourself) but you need only subscribe to them once you have earned enough to afford them.

ANT for short, is a free training site and list builder that allows you to promote both your Primary and Secondary Online Business.

1. It will teach your subscribers all the marketing skills they need to make money online.
2. It is easy to get free subscribers from Traffic Exchanges as it provides them with everything they want IE. More traffic and training at no cost while their main business is promoted automatically.
3. It is free to join and free to use with no distracting ads.
4. It is saving them time because it builds them lists in each traffic exchange while promoting just one link.
5. It will improve their click through rate because it will pre-qualify their subscribers for them.
6. It will automatically promote both their Primary and Secondary Business as well as a Funded Proposal that will earn them a handsome additional income even before people join their main business.

To sum up what new strategy we have learned today, let us recap:

• Never look for a "hot" product to sell first
• Find an eager market that is easy to target
• Determine what your new market wants
• Supply them with exactly what they ask
• The AllNetworkers Team is the solution they want
• Offer the solution to them in a well managed way

Here are the steps to accomplish the above:

1. Subscribe to the prospecting system first - Click Here
2. Sign up for the training and follow it step-by-step
3. Subscribe to all the Traffic Exchanges inside
4. Plug in your Primary and Secondary Businesses
5. Market your affiliate link in all the Traffic Exchanges as shown in the Training Back Office (day 3-4)
6. Don't be fooled with the simplicity of this system - once you have a list of well trained subscribers of 5000, you will not believe the money making potential you'll have!

Next time we will look at more Foolproof Marketing Strategies to get more free targeted traffic to your link. Look out for the post with your Strategy.

My mission is to help you make a success of your online business as soon as possible. In no way am I implying that ANT is the only training and list building program that you may use. I only use it as an example and if you have your own list builder that is fine with me. Ensure that your list builder supply your readers with what they want and you will have success. Darren Olander have launched a new training site recently that might even be better than his first. It is called InstantTrafficSecret.com
