I have joined an Internet shopping club that allows me to save money on my purchases throughout the year.  The shopping clubs I am most familiar with normally charge a fee to be a member.  I have seen clubs charge $50 per year and then there is club that I’ve seen advertised on television that is charging a minimum of $3000 so you can save money with them. 

My club is free and available in every country in the world.  I get a   FREE lifetime shopping membership with no minimum purchases.  I can shop for myself or I can also earn referral fees on the purchases anyone else I refer to the club.  How can I go wrong? 

The Internet Shopper 

I didn’t realize how much I shopped online until I became a member of this club.  Because they have the same stores I normally purchase from, I did move some of my off-line shopping to the Internet with additional savings.  I normally get free shipping and I’ve even found one store that does not charge me tax.

I might as well get something back when I shop.  Why wouldn’t I take advantage of the what the club’s buying power can do for me? 

Even if you aren’t a big Internet shopper, why not take advantage of

the savings available to you?  With no minimum purchases and the free membership, how can you go wrong?  As a friend of mine said, “It’s a no-brainer for me“.   How about you?

Website owners have found that they can increase their profits by eight times or more simply by using web based email marketing. It’s important to understand the typical buying cycle, the importance of follow up and how a back end increases your bottom line in order to understand how email marketing can affect your business.

Understand the Buying Cycle

The majority of  people  simply will not buy the first time they see your website. About 99% of your visitors will land on your website and leave without buying anything.

That doesn’t mean they weren’t interested in your product. It just means they weren’t interested right now. Or perhaps they just don’t trust you or know you enough yet.

Letting these people go is like letting 99% of your advertising dollars go to waste. Instead, to really maximize your profits you must learn to follow up and get sales from the remaining 99% who didn’t buy the first time around.

Follow Up for Major Sales Increase

But you still can turn 1% visitor into buyer by following up which is as much as 8% in the long run. That’s an 800% increase in revenue!

However, if you follow up then over time they’ll start to see that you’re a real business that will take care of their customers. They’ll begin to know and trust you.

You’ll also get your message in front of them at different points in their life, and you have a relatiionship with them when they are ready to buy.

Back End Is Importance to Your Bottom Line

Your real money is in your backend because these are the products and services they will see after a customer made their first order. Most business owners neglect this and focus only at front end sales.

Let’s say each month you make 30 sales at $100 for a total of $3,000. Most business owners would focus on getting those 30 sales to 40 sales.

Instead, a savvy business person would try and sell a $400 product to all 30 of those who bought. If about 20% take them up on it, that’s a $2,400 bump right off the bat .

Then a savvy business owner might try and sell a $1,000 product. With the right marketing, about 10% will buy. That’s an extra $3,000.

Finally, a savvy business person will likely try and implement some kind of membership program. At $97 a month , if it’s tied into the original product about 50% will sign up for about 4 months. That’s (15 times $97 times 4 equals) and extra $5,820 a month.

That’s an extra $11,220 on top of the $3,000 you’re already making from just 30 sales a month. As you can tell, selling more to your existing customers is much more profitable than trying to get more new customers.

The best way to sell more to existing customers is through web based email marketing. It’s the only free way to consistently follow up.

You now know the how the typical buying cycle works, you understand the importance of follow up and you know how much a good back end can boost your business. Apply this and web based email marketing to help your business explode its profits.

Success is defined as the complete attainment of  long planned goals, like a journey where a person starts taking on a single step at a time to reach a desired destination.

A certain level of personal development, personal growth and self-improvement helps a person to attain success in their lives.  These ingredients enrich relationships, career prospects, professional success and life in general.

Personal development, personal growth and self-improvement techniques are inter-related and help to improve  personal and professional lives. With hard work, discipline, and careful planning, being successful can  be attained.

Being Positive

If you want to be successful in life, you need the will and determination to push through with your goal and a positive outlook and perspective on life. Your optimism and the way you look at life’s situations will more or less affect and determine your performance.

Remember, a negative attitude drains a person’s spirit and energy.   Success starts with a positive mental attitude.  A positive attitude  keeps creative ideas flowing and energizes you so that you can move forward towards your goals.

Rest and Relax

If you feel that you are stressed, you always have the exclusive right to take a break.  Take some time to replenish yourself  physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Even one day or a few hours of good sleep can  help you bounce back to your usual self.

Building Self Confidence

Self-confidence means believing in oneself. A little boost in self-confidence allows you to take long steps towards achieving your goals in life.  A lack of self-confidence hampers personal growth. If you are one with low esteem and low self-confidence you should take steps to build your self-confidence before it is too late. People who lack self-confidence tend to have self-doubt, fear, inferiority complex, etc. If you want to be successful in life you need to overcome all these negative traits.

Feed Your Soul

Your body is not the only one who feels hunger. Your emotions and soul also needs to be fed, and you can do it by engaging in warm-hearting activities such as doing some volunteer work, spending time with your loved ones and family, taking care of a pet, etc.

As long as you don’t deprive yourself of the simple yet priceless things in life, you can be sure that you won’t have a hard time seeing the positive side of life. Learn to cherish and appreciate the simple things in life.  Make it a habit to be optimistic, yet realistic at the same time.

Phillip realizes that MLM companies are not the only ones who must devise a way to get the consumer to buy their products and still allow them to make money.  They may take a loss on one product (loss leader) because they know they will make it up elsewhere. 

Cartridge Sales

Take the printer Phillip was looking into buying.  The company could take a loss or break even on the printer because they know the consumer must buy their specialized ink cartridges because they have made them unique to this printer.  They price the cartridges so that the profit margin will more than make up for any loss on the printer itself.  Who benefits?  The printer manufacturer, of course.  They have devised a way to ensure they will recoup the cost of the printer through their ink.   

MLM Profits

The MLM company offers a large discount to those committed business builders knowing that they will be the largest users of their products, but requires a quantity purchase in order to receive a check.  It’s a similar concept as our printer company.  They have found their consumer !  It it up to the distributor to figure out how to sell or use their MLM products. The distributor is like a MLM Companies’ retailer.  Each level of distribution must effectively market their product in order to succeed.  The MLM company markets themselves and their product  to gain and retain distributors and then the distributors must effectively market  to gain retail customers or distributors of their own.

How is a retailer different from your local distributor? ….  this next post

As I mentioned on the last post, every single site I’ve been on that has Internet marketing tools say THEY have the very best material for you in every way. They all say the same thing, so how do you as a new marketer determine what is right for you?

A rating of the material with regards to necessary prerequisite skills would be helpful. Think of the wide variety of Web Site builder programs for example. Some are very “plug and play”, but will allow a pre-determined amount of templates or you can create custom web sites with very advanced programs.

How about a sample of “what you get” so that you can determine if it will work for you.? Maybe they could put an excerpt of the Internet Marketing Tools available on-line for you to see how they write, the topics they will cover, the depth of the information?

You can type in “the author’s name“ or “name of material” and “forum”.  This may bring up some discussion of the material for sale.  Having said that, remember people are more likely to post a negative comment before a positive one.

You also need to read all comments for a fair description of the material.  Maybe the network marketing training was too technical for Jack S., but great for the advanced user. Possibly the material was written only for beginners and that’s why Jodi M. was unhappy.  You can usually tell a fair review verses an emotional rant.

Talk to other people in your industry and see what Internet marketing tools they might recommend. You might be surprised at the number of helpful network marketing tips you get … for free. Ultimately you must decide if this expert fits with your needs. Is there a match?

This morning I read on another blog that the federal government  may begin to require negative testimonies as well as positive ones when showing reviews of the sales and marketing materials of “gurus”. 

Many of these materials cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. I’ve seen some of them and had noticed there were never negative comments. The material seemed to be perfect for every user at all levels.

“Are there no negative comments?“  I mean, is the material “meaty” enough for everyone?  All of the purchasers feel they received more than enough information for their money?

We must remember they are business people making a profit on their marketing material as well as promoting themselves.  On every single site I’ve been on, they have the very best material for you in every way. They all say the same thing, so how do you determine as a new marketer what is right for you?

Selling their materials or programs is perfectly fine, but if testimonies are involved, maybe they need to include both positive and negative reviews.
