I can bet you have already answered the question in your mind when you read my article title Right? Well now let me guess what you were thinking.
If you are like most online marketers trying to make ends meat on the internet then you are probably thinking "Getting people to actually BUY something from me and actually seeing the money come in is the hardest thing EVER!" Then of course you get those who are thinking"Getting Traffic to my site is the most annoying part" And you have those who are thinking "How on earth do some people make so much money....what is the SECRET?"
So let me answer all those questions now. Firstly, internet marketing is NOT as easy as they make it seem and sound. However it is definitely NOT impossible either.
Pssst....first let me tell you a secret before we go any further......get closer......you ready? "THERE ARE NO BIG DARK SECRETS THAT ANY GURU COULD HAVE THAT NO OTHER HUMAN HAS EVER THOUGHT ABOUT!"
Phewww....There...with that off my chest and I hope out of your head....we can begin. Making money on the internet is a process. A factual step by step process that any Tom Dick Harry...Mary Jane or Sue could do if you follow the basics of internet marketing.
What are the basics then you may ask and who's basics should you follow since there are like thousands of people who claim to have some great basic step by step process that will make you tons of money....
Huh! That's the best question you can ask and get the answers to. NOT "what is the secret?" NOT "why the "so called" gurus can do it and you can't" NOT "Am I trying to do the impossible?"
What you really need is simply a factual step by step manual with the basics right up to the advanced steps you need to take. By this I mean from setting up your own website to actually either promoting someone else's product or creating your very own product, to actually pulling in the traffic, to finally making people take action to buy. That's all there is to it. However, you DO need the exact steps to take to get there. And to be honest, there are not many actual "OVERALL MANUALS" out there that will achieve this.
Yes you do have the many different programs that teach you either this or that. Not many that will take you from the beginning and walk you through every single step of the way till you make your very first "sale" online. You know why? Because that's a whole lot of information to be giving away at one go and not many people are dedicated enough to do that for you.

The Secret To Getting Indexed In Yahoo
Free Weekly Marketing Tips
TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus: Dot Com Secrets Video
Getting indexed in Yahoo has become very difficult in the last few months. The indexing robot, Yahoo!Slurp, has become erratic. For some sites, the robot will view all pages, but only add a few to the Yahoo database. For other sites, sub-domain listings actually start disappearing! So, what’s the secret to getting indexed?
Pleasing Yahoo!Slurp
The secret to getting indexed in Yahoo involves constant updates to your site. The updates, however, have to be done on both the site and through Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds. Here’s how you go about getting indexed.
The first step is to start a blog for your site. You can build a blog on your site or use a free service. I prefer blogger.com because it is easy to use, but you can use whatever you like. Once you have your blog up, you should make entries that correspond and link to content on your site. For example, I will post this article on my blog, Moshing Search Engines, and link it to the article page on MarketingTitan.com.
To supercharge the impact of the blog, you should also link to a site map on your site. If you don’t have a site map, make one in HTML. The Yahoo robot will definitely follow it and index the pages. Don’t rely on the xml site map strategy Google is promoting.
Once you have the blog up with content posted, you must turn the blog into a real simple syndication feed. Again, you can use your own system. I prefer to use a free service because I really don’t have the time to waste on such things.
Feedburner.com seems to work find and is simple to use. Opening an account with Feedburner is so easy, I am not even going to explain it. At the end of the process, feedburner will kick out the link for your RSS feed. Here’s where the magic begins.
If you have a yahoo email account, you need to access you’re My Yahoo page. If you don’t have an account, get one! Once you are on the My Yahoo page, do the following:
1. Click the “add content” link in the upper left hand under the search box.
2. When the new page opens, click the “Add RSS by URL” link on the right of the “Find Content” search box in the upper section of the page.
3. Enter the exact link provided by Feedburner and click “add.” Do NOT add the url for your blog.
4. Click the “My Yahoo” tab at the top of the page and refresh the page.
At this point, you should see your feed at the bottom of the page. If you don’t, be patient. Yahoo is sometimes slow, so just try it again in an hour or so. When the feed is added, you should see the name of your blog and the title of each post under it. Yahoo can take up to a day to add new posts, so don’t panic if they don’t show up immediately.
Once you’ve completed the above, Yahoo will follow the links in the blog and index the pages on your site. If one of the links goes to a site map, you are in business. As an added bonus, Google will do the same thing. Let’s look at an example.
We are currently building NomadJournalTrips.com, which has been up for about a month. Roughly 10 to 20 pages are being added each day. Nomad Rick’s Ramblings is the blog for the site and the feed is included on four “My Yahoo” pages for various email accounts. Yahoo has indexed 95 pages and is about four days behind the page additions. Google has indexed 151 pages and is adding to the index every day. The blog and RSS feed are solely responsible for getting these pages indexed this quickly.
Depending on the size of your site, the process can take a few days or a couple of weeks. Every time you add new content, slap it into your blog with links. In no time, you will be taming Yahoo!Slurp.

Sell More The First Time - Juice the Front End
Free Weekly Marketing Tips
TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus: Turn Traffic Into Cash
The concept is simple... Increase the amount of the initial customer purchase by offering discounts or other extra bonuses on quantity purchases.
What you want to do is encourage the buyer to spend more money by offering special inducements, extras, discounts and special deals. Some buyers are happy to buy consumable products by the case, rather than by single package, if they can save a little money by doing so. Just look at the success of stores like Costco. Much of their food items are bundled into quantities that are larger than those a typical family would buy. But often the price is just too hard to pass by. People end up spending more cash to “save” money.
Once you have a customer in your store, or browsing through your catalogue, your task is to maximize the value of that purchase. You want to make it easy for your customer to spend more than he or she originally planned to. And you want them to do so happily and without regret.
Your goal should always be to develop life-long customers. Therefore, whatever special deals you offer them should always be in their best interest.
Examples
Increasing the value of a purchase can be as simple as providing supporting materials or accessories that are natural and convenient additions to whatever the customer is buying.
An electrical supply store could offer booklets that guide homeowners to safely make minor repairs and installations. A store selling sportswear - sweatshirts, track pants and tee-shirts, could also offer socks or wind-breakers as extra accessories.
It could also mean scaling your prices according to the amount purchased. This works well with products that have large profit margins and where customers can easily justify getting more than one, such as with gift items.
There’s a fellow who sells single bottle wine stands at local fairs and shopping mall shows. The product is simply a single piece of wood cut on a sharp angle with one hole drilled right through, cut on the same angle. The weight of the bottle balances the board. It’s a novel idea that captures people’s attention. This marketer sells one wine stand for $5 or two for $6.50. He sells far more packages of two than single unit sales. Why? It’s such a great deal, few can resist. An extra buck and a half is mere pocket change and there’s always someone the buyer could give it to.
Think of supermarket pricing. Where I shop, the price of bundled green onions is 3 for 99 cents. There’s no price listed for just one bunch. Guess what? Most people that buy, take 3 bunches for 99 cents. Why? It’s a perceived special price on a quantity purchase. The actual value may even be irrelevant. People often assume that it’s a better price for three than for buying just one. Here’s how the thinking goes. “Maybe I’ll be charged 50 cents for one. Buying 3 gives me each for just 33 cents. That’s better value, so I’ll buy 3”.
You can often encourage customers to spend more by offering an attractive discount on a second or third similar product. This could work well for businesses whose customers would like to buy more than one. A good example would be a ladies shoe store. Such a business could significantly increase sales by offering a second pair of shoes at 15% off.

5 Business Essentials (Besides Great Copywriting) To Maximize Your Sales Success
Free Weekly Marketing Tips
TAKE ONE - IT'S FREE!
Today's Free Bonus: The Single Greatest Marketing Secret
Effective copywriting is one piece of the puzzle. But you also need some basic business essentials.
Sure, great ad copy is a crucial component to marketing success, but it's not the be-all-and-end-all some people seem to think. It's this kind of "cure-all" approach that sometimes gives advertising a bad name as the truth gets exaggerated in an attempt to sell inferior products.
Here are 5 essential prerequisites -- basic business essentials -- you need to maximize your results:
Business Essentials -- Ingredient #1: A Customer-Oriented Focus.
It demands that you take a look at the big picture and think long-term. Invariably, this means that you avoid the get-rich-quick mentality at all costs.
Your purpose in business is to not just make the sale, but to forge a relationship. Be significant, helpful, caring, advantageous, and unique to your customer and you'll be handsomely rewarded in return. It's the law of cause and effect in action.
Build a reputation for continually delighting customers and they'll come back and buy from you again and again. Not only that, but they'll tell others too. These are the most profitable sales you'll ever make. If you need to find new customers each time out, you're rowing upstream and forever spending money in search of sales. The get-rich-quick artists aren't interested in relationship building, they simply want to extract cash from anyone they can, as quickly as they can, and they flee the scene to avoid any fallout. It's hardly a strategy for long-term growth and profitability.
Business Essentials -- Ingredient #2: A Quality Product.
Don't even think about creating advertising copy if you don't first have a quality product to take to market. It doesn't have to be the absolute finest quality widget ever engineered, but it must offer some advantage to the marketplace. It helps if your product is an exclusive - something not easily obtained elsewhere.
If you're not thrilled about what you're selling, this lack of enthusiasm will come through in your copy. If you're not absolutely convinced that what you have to sell offers quality, unique advantages and solid value to the buyer, don't even try to convince others. To do so means you're pushing a product upon your audience, rather than pulling them towards it.
Business Essentials -- Ingredient #3: An Irresistible Offer.
Your product alone should never represent your entire offer. If you want to sell by words alone, you need an offer that is so attractive, no sensible person could pass it by. Prepare an overall package that is worth far more than your product alone.
This is easy to do. Simply think in terms of appealing premiums, bonuses, coupons, consulting packages, gifts, accessories, etc. and you can create an offer that is 100% exclusive - no matter what you're selling.
Business Essentials -- Ingredient #4: A Hungry Market.
Identifying a target market is a definite requirement. Ideally, your product and your offer should be shaped and molded to suit the specific desires of your tightly defined niche market. Spot a hungry market with unfilled or poorly filled "wants" and offer the ultimate solution. That's how you stack the deck in your favor.
Business Essentials -- Ingredient #5: The Resources To Market Effectively.
It doesn't matter how outstanding your product, offer and copy is... if you don't have the capability of reaching your audience in a big way. In direct mail, there are postage, production and list rental costs involved. With web marketing, it's ezine advertising, search engine optimization, and pay per click (PPC) ads.
If you don't factor these expenses in at the start and plan for them, you're creative copywriting and product development efforts could be hampered right off the bat.
It takes adequate capitalization to run any business and there are costs involved if you want to maximize your marketing. Proper planning helps transform an unexpected expense into successful investment that propels your business forward. Launching any enterprise without these basic business essentials is futile.
When you have these 5 business essentials in place, your copy is not only easier to write, it's far more convincing. And copy that's far more convincing, converts a lot more prospects into customers.

Back-End Offers - Make Real Profits
Free Weekly Marketing Tips

Today's Free Bonus: 107 Killer Traffic Conversion Secrets
Often the real profits lie in back-end sales.
Once you have a customer, you simply offer additional products, add-ons, upgrades, a super-deluxe version of the original product purchase with all the bells and whistles. The customer is already “sold” on the product or service, based on your sales material or presentation.
The back-end offer should supply the answer to “what’s next?” It should be related in some way to the original product, and the most successful back-end products are higher-priced accessories that makes it easier of better for the buyer than simply having the original.
A back end product should further enhance the product that the buyer intended to purchase. Whatever the original product does, a good back-end product will make it faster, better, more detailed, more complete or easier to use and benefit from – in essence it is far more helpful to the prospect in satisfying his wants, than is the original, more basic product.
Keys to Success
The success of back-end products can be attributed to having a captive, highly targeted audience who is definitely interested in achieving a specific result or solving a specific problem. The add-on product makes it easier to solve the prospect’s problem, quickly.
Another factor is to further sell the customer while he is still in the buying mode and while he is feeling good about solving a problem or moving closer towards a goal.
Examples
To come with examples of back-end products simply ask “What product or service could I also offer that would be a natural match for what my customer is buying now? A self-publisher could offer a booklet on a specific topic. As a back-end, he could offer the same topic covered in greater detail and presented in a multi-media format complete with audio cassettes, videos, manual and CD.
Opportunities for back-end or additional add-on products are easy to find. A shoe store can offer shoe buying customers, laces, polish, protectants or, other accessories, based on the type of shoe sold. Ever visit a theatre to watch a movie and not order popcorn, chips, soft drink, or some other refreshment? Those items are all back-end products. First you bought your tickets, then you went to the snack bar.
My local video store now offers “tape protection” as an extra option. It’s basically insurance against returning a damaged video. Since most videos rented out these days are new releases, tapes being returned in damaged condition are a rarity. Yet, many people gladly pay the extra twenty-five cents to “feel” secure. A clever new profit center for the video-rental industry.
How?
Always be mindful of products, services or ideas that your customers will willingly pay for. Anything that can make it easier or hassle-free for the customer, could be a good candidate as an add-on product. Convenience is a wonderful thing and many will willingly pay you for it.
