30 day plan - Internet Profits - Month 2 and Beyond

Month 2 and Beyond: From here on, I only need to focus on a few things...

• Building my mailing list consistently,
• Building a strong relationship with my list members by offering them great value through free reports, articles, and tips, AND...
• Finding and forming new positive and mutually-beneficial relationships with other power players in the field, i.e. joint ventures.
• Offering them great products and services on a consistent basis! These products can either be your own, affiliate products, or products that you buy resell rights to.
  

Don't be afraid to sell to your list. Those who are only there to get free stuff will probably drop out eventually. And, that's a good thing! That's what you want! Those who appreciate the value you provide for them will stick around for a long time.

Continue to joint venture and make deals with other publishers / webmasters to build your network, build your list as well as generate ongoing profits!

Survey your list and find out what type of products they would want in the future. Find out what their main wants, concerns, and problems are. Then, either find the appropriate products or create them yourself, and offer it to them.

Another powerful concept you can introduce into your business is to add residual income streams. These are usually businesses (your own or others) that continue to pay you a monthly income per each customer that you bring in. You bring in a customer one time and continue getting paid for that customer for as long as he/she is with the company.

Day 30 : Closing Thoughts

In closing, I'd like to say that, the strategies I've offered above may sound simple but they work! If you put in the time and effort, you will see amazing results.

Keep it as simple as you can and continue to improve on the basics.

Also remember that in order to succeed massively in business, you have to separate yourself from all the other players in your field/niche.

You can do this by establishing your uniqueness! Find some way to differentiate yourself from everyone else. You are a unique individual and I’m sure you have some unique qualities in you. At the least, be unique in the way you create/write products, package them, or the level at which you offer customer service.

Finally, keep in mind that in this business (or any other business for that matter), you will get to hear some "no's" along the way. You will meet some challenges and bumps.

Don't take any of it personally. Learn from them and keep moving forward. Action and persistence are really the keys to the castle.

To your Success!

Day 24 - 28: Form Alliances With Other Marketers (i.e. Joint Venture)

Start by contacting those publishers and webmasters who agreed to post your report/recipe to their lists/sites.

Offer them a good percentage of the profits if they help you get the word out about your product. i.e. if they endorse your product to their database of prospects and customers.

Next, contact other webmasters and ezine publishers in your field and offer to join forces with them as well. (You can find these either at the forums or our handy google.com search engine.)

The more enticing, beneficial, and unique your offer is, the more joint venture successes you will create. If they happen to have a phone number on their site, pick up the phone and give them a call. If not, send them an email (or even a postal mail) about your JV offer.

Note: Offer each JV prospect you contact a free copy of your product so they can review it before they decide to joint venture with you.

Important: Each successful joint venture deal can jolt your subscriber rate and your profits significantly! Don't be surprised to see a lot of orders pouring in through joint ventures alone.

Day 22 - 23: Send another free report or two out to your list.

Along with the second one, include some information about your new book that you just released! Outline the juiciest benefits of your new product and direct them to your sales page. (Do not try to sell from within the email. Let the sales page do that.)

You can offer your list members a special discount price that no one else is going to get. Make them feel special.

If you already have a paid clickbank account and have decided not to offer resell rights to your book, you can offer each customer who buys your book a chance to become your affiliate. (You can have this information on your thankyou/download page as well.)

If you don't yet have a paid clickbank account, you can offer your affiliate program to them at a later date (after you get the clickbank account set up.)

Day 12: Getting More Exposure

Here's another way to get your reports (and affiliate product) more exposure. If you're writing your own reports and/or recipes, start submitting them to other publishers (of ezines or websites) so that they can offer it to their prospects / customers.

You could either look for these sites/publishers on google.com or simply ask on the forums to see if anyone is interested in free content for their publications or web sites. There are usually quite a few people looking for content.

Submit your report/recipe to as many publishers/webmasters as you can. Not everyone will agree to post it, but that's OK. Get as many as you can.

Make a list of all the publishers/webmasters that did agree to publish your report. You can contact them later for your other reports, products, and/or joint venture deals. (In fact, you can also contact those who didn’t post your work. They may still be open for a joint venture that’ll make them some profit.)

Note: You can continue to use the above strategy for as long as it works. When your results start to diminish, get another great free report, change the signature file for your posts to match and repeat the process. Also, submit the new reports to the other ezines and sites.

Day 7: Forums

Go back to google.com and search for "recipe forums" and/or "cooking forums" (or whatever your chosen niche is). Go through the forums and either make a list of all the good ones into a Notepad/Wordpad document, or simply save the links into the Favorites folder of your web browser. (You could create a sub-folder to store all your pages in, for this project.)

Browse through the forums. Get a feel for what the environment is like on each forum. Read through the posting rules and FAQ's if they have any available.

Note: The reason I'm focusing on recipe and cooking forums instead of general interest forums with larger audiences is simple. I want to get as targeted an audience as I can get. This is very important.

Moreover, the less money/time you have, the more targeted you need to get. Because you don't have time/money to waste on untargeted and unresponsive people.

It's better to go to a forum of only 100 members that are highly targeted than to go to a general interest forum that has a thousand members.

Day 6: Next, you need to find an autoresponder.

Most web hosts will give you a basic autoresponder where you can receive an email to a certain address and it will automatically 'respond' with a reply (eg. We have received your email and will respond within the next 48 hours).

When sending out newsletters and marketing messages what is required is the ability to pre-load a sequence of autoresponder messages and the option to 'broadcast' a one-off message (i.e. a newsletter or a special offer) to all your subscribers whenever you want to.

The main options for an autoresponder are:

Autoresponder software which you install on your server
Autoresponder software which you install on your desktop
A third-party Autoresponder service.

Everyone is concerned about getting spam. In several email services (like hotmail and google etc.) they have a button at the top of every email which people can click to say 'this email is spam'. This is then registered as a spam complaint and if you get a relatively high percentage of spam complaints you risk getting shut down. The trouble is a lot of people don't really understand what spam is. They often click that button because they have simply decided they don't want to receive your newsletter any more. If you have done everything right (such as used double opt-in and given an unsubscribe link at the end of every email - standard features of most autoresponders) then you should have nothing to worry about if you have used a recognised third-party autoresponder service. If you opt for software installed on your own server or desktop then a collection of spam complaints (even when false) could risk you being shut down by your web host or isp. For that reason I would always recommend people use a third-party service and only accept double opt-in subscribers. The other main reason for using a reputable third-party autoresponder service is that most have a relationship with all the various email service providers so you have a much better chance of your emails getting through in the first place.

I use Aweber for all of my online businesses (one account can have unlimited autoresponder lists on it). You can get a free test drive of the Aweber service by going through this link: Aweber.com
(look towards the bottom of that page for the free test-drive signup).

Once you have set up your autoresponder account (or software / webscript) load up your article into the autoresponder and test the system out (by sending email to it and timing it's response rate, etc.)

If you're satisfied with the AR (autoresponder) you picked, add a few more lines to your AR message...

At the very top, add something like...

"Thank you for requesting your free ____ recipe! Enjoy, and feel free to pass this article to your friends and family."

At the end of the AR message (before your ad for the affiliate product), add something along the lines of...

"We will send you more great recipes, tips, and resources soon! If you do not wish to receive these from us, please let us know."

Day 4: Find (Or Create) Some Killer Reports

Next, I would (keeping the time factor in mind) look for existing articles that I can get reprint rights too. There are many great articles on the Internet on just about any subject you can think of. Find some good ones and ask the authors if you can get permission to share them with others.

Of course, if you do have previous writing experience, and can whip out something good fairly quickly, you could write some articles of your own.

It's a good idea to tie the report into the product you're planning on selling. So, if you're selling recipes, you could use an article that shares a great recipe. No rocket science there.

If you would like to write your own articles but don't know how, just find some good articles/reports and study them. Look at how they're written, layed out, etc. Go to the library and pick up a book on writing if you need to. It's really not that difficult at all. You could easily whip out an article a day.
