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.

I’m sure you’ve been told you can do and be whatever you put your mind to.  Too many people do not reach their full potential, and in large part this is due to a lack of knowing exactly what they want and how to set goals.  Many people don’t even understand the power of setting goals.

My daughter is headed off to college this fall.  While I know she will want to find her own way, I am going to sit down with her and share some things I’ve learned and equally as important some things I’ve realized about her. 

1)  I am going to encourage her to sit down and write down a minimum of three short-term goals and three long-term goals

2)  I am going to have her list the steps she needs to complete those goals and then she can check them off and add new goal and steps as she progresses.

3)  I have made some observations these last two years regarding her working personality.  I plan to share those with her and encourage her to do some job shadowing.

a)  She does not want to spend her life shuffling papers behind a desk

b)  Family is important, so why head for a career that will demand her whole life?

c)  Her working environment is important to her.  By that, I mean, she doesn’t have any patience for unprofessional behavior in the work place.

d)  She wants to help people, but be RESPECTED and  paid well for her skills and knowledge…………… why go into teaching, unless it is at a collegiate or professional level?

Hopefully, she will listen, act on what I will suggest regarding goal setting, and then do some research for herself, constantly improving her skills and moving ever closer to the thing that will enrich her life!

I don’t know what’s in store for my daughter’s future, but what about you?  If you want to start you own Internet business, sit down and figure out your personal dreams and goals.  Carve out a plan for your life!  Set some goals and refer to them often, see how much you can grow !

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.

When the owner of an MLM company is structuring his/her compensation plan, do you think they count on the retail sales distributors provide to keep their doors open? 

Most MLM’s are structured so that the distributors who are on autoship are the people who are counted on to pay for the business expenses. 

While every company “needs” consumer sales to survive, MLM’s themselves don’t need many.  Consumer sales are “dessert” so to speak. 

As an example: 

Monty is a business builder with XYZ company and has committed to a $250 monthly autoship order (which is about 5 months for the average consumer).  Once Monty places the order, he can either sell the products or keep them for his own personal use. 

This is actually a brilliant move because consumers are fickle.  The liklihood of them committing to $50 per month over a long period of time, much less $210 per month is extremely low (remember tax and s&h)  .

The network marketer is the entree and the consumer is the dessert!

One of the main differences between a blog and a static website is the way people are able to collaborate with your content. With a static site it’s just people reading words on a page.

When you have a blog they can explore and even comment back! You want to get that sort of interactive spirit going so you can create a loyal readership with your blog.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy! There are literally millions of blogs out there all vying for the attention of your audnce. It can be even harder to grab people’s attention when you’re just getting started.

The bad news is that it’s going to take some work and dedication to build up a loyal readership. The good news is that it’s very possible, and even fun, to put these things into place. Follow these rules and you’ll have the kind of repeat visitors and fans that really make blogging worth your while.

A Few Ideas For Great Blogs

Write Great Content

If your content stinks there is no way people are going to come back and read again! They’ll just click away, never to return. If you write great content, however, you’re sure to get some fans. Not everyone considers themselves to be a good writer. That’s OK! No one expects you to have perfect grammar and spelling. It’s far more important that you write interesting content that stands out from the crowd. Give your real thoughts and opinions on things that matter to the audience.

When you write great content, not only will you have people who want to visit your blog, but they will also link to you! You know that more linking means higher rankings in Google. That’s definitely a great thing that will expand your readership base to levels you couldn’t even imagine when you got started.

Leave the Comments Open

It’s amazing - but there are bloggers out there who close their comments! While it can be a lot of work to try and get rid of those spam comments, you’re also missing out on a big part of what being a blogger is all about. You need to let the audience write back and speak their mind too. People don’t just want a website they can read anymore, they want one they can add their “2 cents” to. So, leave your comments open and listen to them. It doesn’t matter if people always agree with you or not (they won’t!), you’ll get a much larger and interested following.

Guest Blog

The chances are good that there are some blogs out there that are very well-liked by the people in your niche. These blogs probably get a lot of traffic and a lot of respect. It’s time to get your name and website out there in front of this audience! All you need to do is write to the owner and say that you’d like to write some guest posts. They may be more than happy to take a break from their own posting and to give you a link back to your blog. This will not only give you link juice for the search engines, you’ll also win some of their loyal readers who are interested in what you have to say.

Learning how to create a loyal readership with your blog is incredibly important if you want your blog to thrive. It’s all about the people, and making sure they are aware of your blog and love your content.

One of my readers commented on my last post “ Internet Marketing Tools | Does One Size Fit All? ” that the public is much more technically savvy and able to discover sellers who have set out with the sole intention of  “duping” the public or at the very least, it’s all about them!   Still, many people are new to the Internet and the world of marketing.  Being new, everyone has a learning curve.  

Network Marketing Partners

I am now with a good group of people in my primary business who I share information with on a regular basis (it wasn’t always this way). We talk to each other and see if anyone has tried the product or knows anything about it. We’ll have each other read the websites for information or check to see if one of the group has something similar we can all use.

If you have a group of experienced Internet marketers who are capable and willing to share all information, this is an excellent venue  and utilizes everyone’s experiences for the benefit of everyone.

Social Networking

Because I made some mistakes early on, I now do a lot more “networking” with people I meet and have developed a relationship with through various companies or social media sites.  

Ask the question, “Do you know anything about…..?”  then check it out on forums for yourself.  Try a free version or look at any excerpts they may offer for you to “test drive”.  An opportunity to “test” the product  before purchasing the full package is always a great option.

 There are numerous ways to generate links for your blogs. Submitting them to directories for review is an excellent option, but it is best to take a diversified approach to link building.

One method for generating free links to your site is blogging. I don’t mean writing and posting numerous articles in your own blog. What I mean is seek out blogs that post content related to your own sites niche. In particular find your competitors.

As an example let’s say your site sells camping equipment. Seek out the blogs which post on topics related to camping. This is easily done by a query with your favorite search engine.

Relavent Blog Information

Go through the list and find those that are most relevant to your site and have the highest quality of information. From there create a list of blogs.

When you have your list together go to each blog and start reading the posts. Blogs give readers the chance to comment on their posts so when you’re done reading, take a moment to make a thoughtful comment on the post. During that process it will give you the opportunity to enter your own website for a link back to it. Use it!

Now one reason that you want to seek out blogs that are relevant to your site is obvious. The links to your site will be more relevant.

Another reason you want to seek out the blogs of your competitors is that the readers of those blogs have already shown an interest in the topic. Since you chose blogs with content related to your own site when the readers of those blogs click on the link from your comment they will find a site they are interested in.

You will gain links to your site in addition to direct traffic that is targeted to you niche.

Commenting on A Blog

When you are leaving comments be careful. Everyone who has a blog knows what comment spam is and believe me they don’t like getting it.

Comment spam is short little comments like “great post” or “enjoyed the post”. Comments like these add nothing to the post and are just attempts to spam the post in order to get a link back. They are nearly always deleted by the blog owner. If your comment just gets deleted it won’t help you.

When making your comment, get your thoughts together and say something that might benefit the other blog readers or the author. This will not only increase your chance for getting your comment approved, it will also let the readers of the blog know you have some knowledge on the topic. That will increase your chances of them clicking your link to visit your site.   Getting traffic to your blog is what it is all about.
