There are generally three levels of marketers
marketing online…

1. Those that haven’t make money online before

2.Those that make money but not consistently

3. Those that knows and ARE making money online

I will be able to address each of them and why you’re
in that level but first - let me share the secret of
making real money online.

The first thing is to truly identify what you’re
trying to achieve. I mean, is your plan is to make
money in 24 hours, a week or 6 months later? Do you
want to create an instant flux of income, part time
income, passive income or to completely replace your
job? How about this - do you just want to make money
online, to own a business or to create a legacy like
owning youtube or some kind?

DUDE – KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WILL
DETERMINE YOUR BUSINESS MODEL.

To stress my point, you can make money in 24 hours by
selling some junk on eBay or email to your friends
with affiliate link to buy a book from Amazon. But
is that your goal? Or your goal is to make a million
dollar online? Well, you can make a million with the
right business model and you’ll also need understand
the efforts needed to put in. But it is POSSIBLE; many
have done that including me.

Next is knowing your market. Sounds like some cheesy
advice you’ve heard everywhere- the difference here
is, I know what I’m talking about. Say your ‘business
model’ is to write your own ebook and sell it online.
That’s great but what’s the topic and to who?

You can’t say, “My market is selling ebook”. That’s
insane. Market, market, market.

Jeff Bezos of Amazon can say his market is selling
all kinds of books online and he’s RIGHT. Most people
don’t understand is that, there’s only ONE Jeff Bezos.
He is the pioneer and market leader. If you are going
to have a business selling books online, just ask
yourself this- will you buy books from amazon or
some new site that you don’t know? Go figure.

Once you know these, then learn tactics and
strategies. There’s a BIG myth that goes around saying
that tactics are unimportant - you just need
strategies. That’s like saying… to achieve goals,
use ‘Laws of Attraction’ but you don’t need to know
how to practice it.

Both are equally important.

Tactics are normally used for quick results and their
effectiveness is subjected to change. They might work
very effectively right now but 6 months down the road,
they might not work anymore.

Strategies are more like principles that are set in
stone but I’m not saying that they’ll never change.

A quick example - using popup is a strategy that is
proven to generate more sales. But different types of
pop ups will give you different results. Knowing which
type pop up to use, where and when IS tactical.

Once you have the tactics and strategies in your hand,
then it’s easy for you to determine what traffic
source to use, what is your front-end income generator
and so on.

Level one of marketers who don’t make money online is
simply because they probably don’t know what they
truly want (long term or short term income), don’t
realize the importance of selecting a market or don’t
have strategies and tactics.

Level two are normally those who are tactical. To have
consistent income, you’ll need to be strategic and
understand your business model.

Doing all of these correctly will ensure that you’ll
experience a different level of success compare to
where you’re today.

“If you make dramatic changes to your offer, or create some other kind of “story” or “news” that warrants discussion promptly, you’ll find you can get many fence-setters active in promoting you.” - Jimmy Brown

Hi Blog Reader,

Marlon Sanders has perfected an entire system for creating info-products; such as Audio CDs, PDF’s, and eBooks using his time tested point-and-click,
step-by-step method.

It’s called the Info-Product Dashboard.

==> www.marktse.com/recommend/infoproduct/

You may be wondering if this product’s for you.

To see if you’re among the large percentage that can benefit from the Info-Product Dashboard, just run through this list of simple criteria:

* If you have thought to yourself, “That would make a great Info-Product,” this applies to you.

* If you are working the 9 to 5, trading your time for dollars; this applies to you.

* If you’ve had that info product idea in the backburner for a year; and you still haven’t started it yet, this applies to you.

* If you’re about to begin writing an ebook or are partway through one, this applies to you.

* If you feel that you’re not an expert on anything; but still want to create your own product, this applies to you.

* If you tried to create a product of your own but gave up, this applies to you.

* If you’ve got a bunch of “half done” products on your desktop, this REALLY applies to you.

* If you think it’s too hard to create your own info-product, this definitely applies to you.

* If you think it takes too much money to create your own info product, this STILL applies to you.

* If you have just 1 hour a day to spare to work on your info-product, this applies to you.

* If you’ve got a web page that isn’t converting as well as you’d like, this applies to you.

* If you think you can never create a professional looking info product audio CD, PDF, eBook, or download pages; this applies to you.

* If you’ve ever had a problem getting your payment processing set up to take orders online, you need to read this.

* If you know you want to sell products online but haven’t gotten around to doing anything about it, then this product REALLY applies to you.

Finally, if you’re not 100% satisfied with the results you are achieving right now, then this applies to you.

“When you have convinced your subscribers to open your email message and read its contents, the only remaining “task” is to get them to respond.” - Jimmy Brown

The fortune is in the list.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that said, well, I’d already have a fortune!

However “broken-recordish” it may sound, it is a truthful statement.

The fortune REALLY IS in the list.

Fact is, if you possess the knowledge of how to grow and profit from opt-in lists, you can pretty much write your own ticket.

And, if you’ll read the remainder of this article, I’ll pass that knowledge right on to ya. It comes down to getting folks to do four things…

1. REQUEST.

First things first, you need to convince people to “opt-in” to your list. That is, get them to join your list of their own free will.

Usually, this involves giving away a mini-course, report or newsletter from your web site. All you need is..

- An Attention Grabbing Title. (I could have chosen “4 Keys to Successful Email Promotions” for this article, but is that as attention-grabbing as “How to Pull in As Much Profit As Your Wallet Will Hold From Opt-In Lists”?)

- A Handful of Bulleted Benefits. (A short list of 4-6 desirable things subscribers will learn if they join your list. Think “what’s in it for me?”)

- An Opt-In Submission Form. (Your autoresponder system will provide this for you.)

NOTE: The BEST way to get folks to join is to embed the above mentioned items DIRECTLY in the most prominent place you have your site visitors’ attention. Usually this is 3-5 paragraphs into your sales letter or 1/3 of the way into an ezine article.

2. RECEIVE.

After visitors to your site have “requested” information by joining your list, it’s critical that your emails be delivered successfully to their inbox. With all of the filters in place (among other hazards) this can be quite a chore.

One thing you’ll want to do for certain is check your SPAM rating to make certain it’s in an acceptable range. Again, most of the better autoresponder services offer this feature for you.

You can also do things like…

- Get your subscribers to “approve” mailings from you.
- Authenticate yourself as a legitimate mailer when you receive a “response challenge” from protection services such as Spam Arrest.
- Use alternative formats of your email messages such as “downloadable email messages” in PDF format.

3. READ.

When your emails successfully arrive at the inboxes of your subscribers, another task awaits - getting them to actually open your message and read it.

This is going to depend upon your “subject line”. It is paramount that your subject line be intriguing enough to convince your readers to stop what they are doing and take a look inside.

One way to get this done is to create a swipe file of email subject lines that have convinced YOU to read the messages and then modify those subject lines for your own use.

Ex. I received an email that had the subject line of “This affiliate tip is almost too easy” that caught my attention and forced me to read the associated message.

This subject line could easily be used in a variety of different niches…

- This dieting tip is almost too easy
- This time management tip is almost too easy
- This marriage saving tip is almost too easy

4. RESPOND.

When you have convinced your subscribers to open your email message and read its contents, the only remaining “task” is to get them to respond.

You want them to take action. Click a link. Go somewhere. Ultimately, spend money with you.

The only way you’ll be able to do this is follow a simple catch phrase I’ve been teaching for years: “useful, but incomplete”.

It simply means this: your messages must provide content that is useful to your subscribers (otherwise, they’ll unsubscribe faster than you can say “oops”!), but is also “incomplete” in that there is some additional offer that could enhance or maximize that content.

Ex. You might write an article that shares “7 Ways to Profit With Autoresponders” to send to your list. That’s “useful” information to those who are interested in that particular topic. It’s also “incomplete” because they need an autoresponder service to put the information into action. That’s your cue to promote your recommended autoresponder service.

See how it works?

If you want to pad your wallet with profits by using opt-in lists, this is how you do it:

Get people to do these four things:

- Request
- Receive
- Read
- Respond

This is a system that has never failed, will never fail. I’ve used it.

Others have used it.

Now, it’s your turn to use it.

“In any business, the business man is just a salesman who wants to make sales. And you cannot or may not make sales if what you are offering for sale is not the type of product that people are looking for. So it becomes very necessary that you find out the needs of the people and fill the needs.” - Edeh Chijioke
