10 Benefits Of Submitting Articles To E-zines

Posted on by

1. You’ll brand your web site, business and yourself by submitting articles to e-zines. You can (and should) include your name, business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail address in your resource box.

2. You can become known as an expert on the topics you write about. This will give you and your business extra credibility which will help you compete against your competition.

3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher’s home page. If they publish each issue on their home page this will give you some extra exposure.

4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives their e-zine on their site. People might want to read the back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.

5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don’t publish your articles.

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your income.

7. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your articles in their free e-books. Since people give them away, your advertising could multiply all over the internet.

8. You will get your article published all over the web when you submit it to an e-zine publisher that has a free content directory on their web site. They’ll allow their visitors to republish your article.

9. You’ll gain people’s trust. If they read your article and like it, they won’t be as hesitant to buy your product or service. You will then be able to increase your profits.

10. You could get your article guaranteed to run in an e-zine. You could agree to run one of their articles in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their e-zine. It’s a win/win situation.

Posted on by

1. Create a free ebook directory on a specific topic at your web site. People will visit your web site to read the free ebooks and may see your product ad.

2. Turn part of your web site into a members only web site. Instead of charging for access, use it as a free bonus for one of your products.

3. Add a free classified ad section to your web site. You could then trade banner ads with other web sites that have free classified ad sections.

4. Create two versions of your e-zine so people can choose if they want ads included with it or not. This’ll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe.

5. Publish your e-zine only on your web site. Have people subscribe to a “new issue” e-mail reminder. This could really increase your traffic and sales.

6. Sell advertising space in your product package. You could sell inserts, flyers, brochures, booklets, and digital ads for electronic products.

7. Offer daily or weekly visitor bonuses. This will increase your repeat traffic and sales because your visitors will visit regularly to get the visitor bonuses.

8. Allow people to download software or e-books from your web site at no cost. Just ask your visitors in return if they’ll refer their friends to your web site.

9. Build up the number of people that join your free affiliate program quickly by temporally offering your product for free to the people that sign up.

10. Negotiate with e-zine publishers to get free or discounted ads by letting them join your affiliate program and earn commissions on the ad you run.

10 Amazing Ways To Jump Start Your Sales

Posted on by

1. Find a strategic business partner. Look for partners that have the similar goals. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, etc.

2. Brand your name and business. You can easily do this by writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing.

3. Start an auction on your web site. The type of auction could be related to the theme of your site. You’ll draw traffic from auctioneers and bidders.

4. Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure. Consider starting a Mastermind group of “like-minded” members.

5. Model other successful business or people. I’m not saying out right copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them successful.

6. Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes businesses don’t want to advertise unless it’s free, sometimes you have to spend money to get results.

7. Include emotional words in your advertisements. Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc.

8. Ask people online to review your web site. You can use the comments you get to improve your web site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer.

9. Outsource part of your workload. You’ll save on what would otherwise be ’employee costs.’ You could outsource your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc.

10. Combine a product and service together in a package deal. It could increase your sales. If you’re selling a book that teaches something specific, offer an hour of consulting with it.

10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales

Posted on by

1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a “thank you” email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up at regular intervals.

2. You should offer upsells to your customers. When they’re at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could simply add it to their existing order.

3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers (who also order) to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into many sales.

4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made.

5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product.

6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses’ products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you.

7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This could lead them to buy more products from you.

8. Send your customers a digital catalog of add-on’s for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they may buy the extra add-ons.

9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You’ll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.

10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order.

What does July the 4th mean to you?

Posted on by

Long may it wave!

In the United States July the 4th has been, for many years, a day on which we Americans typically celebrate our independence. Yes, we were once considered “The Colonies” by the British and after a bitter war, our independence was declared. Our “Founding Fathers” wrote what is now known as the Declaration of Independence and they followed it up with some serious rules by which all of us, here in these United States should live. Those rules form what was the original Constitution.

In today’s world, those Founding Fathers would likely “roll over in their graves” if they only knew what our current government leaders are doing to corrupt those rules that we were all supposed to be living by.

Achieving FREEDOM in today’s age is more challenging than ever before. We’re bound by more rules and restrictions all the time… no matter what country you’re living in and reading this. There’s always a percentage of the population that MUST be helped and our governments tax us to care for that group of people and then they tax us again to give money to people who will NOT work (who could if they just would) and they also tax us to build roads, fight wars, build jails and build sports stadiums for prisoners in Guantanamo. All these things are done whether we really approve of them or not.

In situations such as this, how can one become independent? More specifically, How can you become Independently Wealthy?

And that is followed by this question… What do I mean by Independently Wealthy??? You may have a totally different opinion but here’s my description of the person who is Independently Wealthy: That person has so much money coming in that they don’t really pay any attention to how much the tax rate is or what they’re taxed for… because they have some of the best tax attorneys providing them the best advice on how to keep most of their money in their hands (in one form or another) in places that are safe… no matter what happens.

If becoming Independently Wealthy is a goal that you would aspire to… how would you propose to achieve that goal?

I only know of one path that the average earthling can follow to reach that goal and the path flows through a highly successful Network Marketing Company. I know… I can hear you now! Not that! Well my friends, Network Marketing is the ONLY way I know that a person with limited funds (but un-limited desire) can reach the status of Independently Wealth!

If you want me to tell you what company to go with… you’re out of luck! There are lots of companies that turn out Millionaires every year. Their plans do Work… if YOU work them. YOU need to find a program that fits with your personality and desires. Being comfortable with the products, business plan and the management of a company is, in my opinion, VERY important in the scheme of things where becoming wealthy is concerned.

Then… you must remember what I call the “Prime Directive” of Network Marketing. I believe it was Zig Ziglar who said something like… “If you help enough people get what THEY want, you’ll get what you want.” In Network Marketing that means you help those you bring to the business (your team) achieve their goals and dreams. As they do that, your star begins to rise. The more people you help achieve their goals and dreams the higher your star rises! As you teach your team to do the same thing… their stars rise even higher and… guess what… so does yours!

So rather than the bad rap that Network Marketing has been given by some, I call it a business of helping people achieve their dreams. It is an OPPORTUNITY to help others and in turn… you help yourself! Learn to put others first and YOUR success is right around the corner.

In the next post we’ll talk briefly about the Network Marketing company that I like the most and… WHY!

Have a Safe and Sane 4th of July wherever you are.
