You Have Less Than A Minute To Make An Impression

April 30, 2010 By Brian 4 Comments
onemin

Remember the old sales quote? "You have exactly 1 minute to make an impression." Think it applies to Internet Marketing? You'd be sadly mistaken if you didn't answer Yes. In the sales world the "impression" determines if they are going to buy from you or not. In Internet Marketing, it determines... guess what? If they are going to buy from you or not :) And, if you aren't directly selling something, it determines how much (or little) of a value they associate with you. The higher the … [Read more...]

Easy Ways To Get People To Talk

April 29, 2010 By Sam Leave a Comment
fedor

One of the biggest mistakes salespeople do is that they want to close the deal immediately. Selling is a process that comes in several steps, and they are all crucial for success. Before you can sell a product to a customer, you must get to know them first. You must know what they need to make their life or job easier. How do you do that? Get them to talk! And how do you get them to talk? First of all, you have to get their attention, which can be a challenge sometimes. You have to realize … [Read more...]

Up Your Game, Go Premium, Make Premium Money

Don’t you just hate when people lowball you, or take your services for granted, or just convince you to do work (that you don’t really want to do) for cheap? “Come on, I’ll give you $50 to fix this,” or “I need someone to fix it cheap.” Or maybe you’re one of those constantly scanning the forums and buying e-books on how to make those easy $20 or $100 per day, ending up working 16 hours (meaning you’re making below minimum wage). It’s time to get down to business. I have no … [Read more...]

We’ve been talking about what to do for your clients when you get them, but today we’ll talk about how to actually locate and sign up those clients.

$350 Birthday Gift!

April 21, 2010 By Brian 2 Comments
A direct mail tactic to get people to take action, on their birthdays.

The postcard below was mailed to our office this week. I've noticed more and more companies using "targeting tactics" via Direct Mail to get people to take their promotional offer. (Unfortunately their designs are way behind the times and this is a classic example of "this looks like an ad".) But, I do want to point a few things out of how this thinking can help in your online marketing. The difference with this postcard is that they are doing targeting on top of just offering something for free … [Read more...]

Today we’re going to talk about working smart, and not just hard. I know what you’re thinking: “Oh, no, not another outsourcing post, I’ve read a million of those.” I’m sure you have, but I’m also very sure that a lot of people have no idea how to do it right, even after reading all that information! Every single time I’m doing a seminar, a workshop, personal coaching or just having a casual marketing conversation with someone, the subject comes up, and even though everybody … [Read more...]

Content Website Ad Revenue

April 19, 2010 By Brian 3 Comments
website

Someone emailed me the other day and asked how they can start a content website and ultimately sell adspace on it, like I've done so successfully in the past. They asked me how to pick a niche and get started. Here's my response and how you can do it too: First of all, the landscape is ever changing. Picking a niche is tough. What I can tell you is this. The niche itself (to an extent) is not necessarily the first thing that you should decide. The first thing you should decide (and maybe … [Read more...]
