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?

Read the Free Ebook…  “Are You Getting Lucky Tonight“, let me know what you think and if I can help you build your business.

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.

The Internet is here to stay! 

Online Shopping

Online Shopping has become a frequent activity for most of us.  As people become busier with children, spouses, favorite activities and working, the freedom of placing a purchase over the Internet is much more attractive than spending an afternoon in the mall for many people.

Internet Homework

As I was helping my son with his homework the other night, I realized how often we went to the Internet for answers.  We no longer need to buy encyclopedias and a world atlas because we have that information available to us.  I was able to print a blank map for my son to use as a very efficient study guide. 

Think of how often you go to the Internet to play a game, shop, or use as a resource for homework, general questions, or build a work from home business.

Think for a minute how many times you go to the Internet per week for one reason or another.  If you would like a Free Shopping Membership to shop in over 250 stores online, please click here.

Have A Happy Valentine’s Day!

In a recent post, Dana was told her lack of success in her work from home business was because her “dream wasn’t big enough“. 

Most MLM’s Equal Two Strikes From The Beginning

1) Over-priced products - Her company’s prices had to be 30 to 40 percent above the industry average for this category to pay the hefty bonuses they offer the top tier of their organization

2) Lack Of Training- Dana had no real step by step solid training.  MLM’s rarely offer a company-wide training program to their distributors. Any training that might be received is normally due to the “up-line’s” (MLM term only) personal efforts and skill in this area.  It rarely is a company-wide requirement for advancement.

3) Dana was being asked to market products/services that most people did not consider a “necessity” in their lives; therefore, when expenses did not allow for extras, they had to quit buying. “Necessity” means something different for everyone. 

Dana’s Needs

In order to be successful, Dana has decided she needs average priced products people need or want and step by step training to teach her how to build her work from home business. 

Dana found one such business with a FREE Shopping Membership she was able to join and check out for herself. She saw an opportunity for herself and those who are thriving in their work from home business as well.  They can order their copy paper, ink, Skype, I-tunes through the club and save money

The work from home industry is rapidly changing, especially regarding the way sourcing leads is achieved. When lead generation was conducted mainly off-line, they were very difficult to find, so when the marketer found a good lead, they guarded it with their life.

Who could blame them? A lead back then meant an opportunity to add someone to their organization and take another step towards creating residual income. While many have built great businesses using these methods, it was still flawed to the extent that rejection was a major killer of people’s hopes and dreams.

Fast forward to today. The Internet is such a dominant player that the task of generating quality leads has been made a lot easier. No, it’s not a piece of cake because there is definite skill required in sourcing leads on-line but the truth is, the word rejection is less of an issue…much less.

Forget about buying those unresponsive third party leads. They multiply the rejection effect enormously and can contribute to you leaving your business in a hurry.

Give your prospects something of value for free or at very low cost.  I am giving a Free Shopping Membership.  The people who do take the membership are under no obligation to buy at any time, the membership is Free, and they save money on their purchases.  There are many ways to generate leads in your work from home business. 

Good luck!

  The home-based business owner can approach an individual with various opportunities that might fit their needs. While the idea of being approached with your home-business opportunity turns off most merchants, many end users will be open to both the idea of great products and an extra paycheck.

Usually you will only need one or two contacts with a consumer for them to decide to try your product or service. Some of this depends on the cost and commitment of your product.

Normally, it will require some time before they join you in your home-based business, even if they are your best prospects.  They will need time to decide for themselves.

It’s not easy for many people starting their home-based business to make that first call to a new prospect.

First Time Calling A Prospect:

A) Establish a prospect’s why

B) Establish you as the person with the solution.

You are basically a facilitator of a solution. The initial conversation should establish a mutual and meaningful discussion between you and your prospect.

Knowing how to handle your first phone conversation with a prospect is one of the best network marketing tools you can possess.

Emotional Sabatoge

Many multi-level marketing business business owners search for the right thing to say in that first phone call, but end up pushing the potential business partner or client away with sales pressure or coming across as desperate.

The problem with many business owners is they are so eager to pour out their emotions about how great their business and products are that before they know it, they’ve sabotaged any chance of the prospect wanting to take a further look.

It’s All About …. Who?

The home-based business owner has made this first phone conversation all about themselves. Believe it or not, the person on the other end of the line isn’t interested in you personally or your company and products. All they are interested in is whether your offer can benefit them.

Try to remember how if felt before you found your home-based business and you were the prospect. I am offering a FREE Shopping page for visiting my site.  I ordered personal checks last night and saved about $8 over what I normally spend on checks. You can save on business and personal purchases.
