Wishing you had a list?

“Build A HUGE List Even Starting From Zero !”

We all had to start somewhere, but once we have a list boy-oh-boy sales come easy!

People are pretty much sick of being marketed at.

They have learned to ignore most marketing almost completely, with one exception.

This exception is list marketing.

List marketing is when a list of people give you permission to sort through the marketing bull pucky for them, and show them only what is good to buy.

How do you earn peoples trust like this?

Step-by-step and day-by-day building relationships based on understanding the needs of individuals on your list and consistently providing real value to them.

The reason it works is because it mirrors real life…

Imagine that tonight is December 31st and it’s your first New Year’s Eve party in your very own place.

Imagine that you’ve taken a whole day to prepare everything.

Your house is immaculate, chic hors d’oeuvres and party favors are arranged on trays, champagne is chilling in the fridge, and the music is all cued up, even your hair is perfect.

A quick glimpse at your watch tells you it is now only seven o’clock and there is even time to relax before guests arrive.

With the flash of confetti poppers, you are transported through time to just seconds before midnight.

All over the world people turn toward televisions watching compete strangers hug and kiss in Times Square! A brand new year is here and with it, all of the expectant hope that “newness” brings.

And tonight, in your own cozy home amongst all the frivolity as the ball was dropped in Times Square, the full weight of this disaster delivered its final crushing blow.

You’re all alone, nobody came.

You didn’t know your list!

Ken was a recovering alcoholic so he didn’t dare come. Pam and Steve couldn’t stay out late because of their new born baby etc, etc.

In the business world:

My friend, quite frankly it can be like that, you can build a store or make a website, stock it with the most wonderful things, do everything correctly, invite the world to come in and enjoy, only to think that when you hear footsteps of customers… you find it’s nothing but your own heart beat in your ears.

How can something this bad happen?

It’s often repeated that, “if you build it, they will come” but that is seldom the case.

Yes, you have to build it to give them something to come to, but getting them to come, is marketing.

And marketing is what it is all about.

There are lots of tricks and techniques but when it comes to making a killing in marketing only “THE LIST” consistently delivers the coup de grace!

What I mean to say is that the list is to marketing what guest would be to a party.

Everything!

If like in the story, you knew more about what the people on your guest list wanted, you definitely would not have spent that new years alone and dejected.

THE LIST is everything!

It’s what gamblers would call a sure bet because like counting cards…when you have built a good list you can predict with almost certainty the percentage of sales you’ll receive from any given offer.

As your list gets bigger so do the sales.

It works in percentages!

It works offline and online the same.

You can bum around and by that I mean bum marketing (using every free avenue to bring people to your sales page.) But essentially you’ll be wasting much of your time because if you don’t “list market” anyone who was originally scared off by your sales page is gone and a lost cause.

Does that mean bum marketing doesn’t work?

No.

But it does work better, as do other marketing strategies when you combine them with list marketing.

List Marketing:

List marketing is about grabbing a hold of every eyeball that ever wanders your way, no matter how they got there.

You do this by offering them something of real value for the irresistible and painless price of simply giving you their email and name.

From there it’s a matter of keeping their eyeballs on you as you build a relationship offering them free and low priced solutions while you learn in greater detail their needs and their price pain threshold.

The next logical step is sorting eyeballs or customers so that you can increase the value of each relationship by only supplying each group what you know they need at a price they are willing to pay.

This beats working your tuchus off trying to find and bring in new eyeballs to every new thing you have to offer.

The best part about list marketing:

Studies show that the longer someone does business with somebody, the more comfortable they are spending more each time they do business.

Customers are willing to risk more with a business or person who has shown them a track record of providing value.

This is why people say the money is in the list.

When marketers show you that they sell products for hundreds of dollars at a pop, they often neglect to explain the steps it takes to bring a customer across that hundred dollar threshold.

In reality they may have taken years building a relationship with that customer to the point where the trust bond is so high they perhaps could have made the sale for double the price.

The worst nightmare is not having a good customer list.

Can you imagine having someone come into your shoppe’, buy everything on your shelf and then disappear into the crowd never to be seen again?

Uggg!!!

Please come back……………!

You are my new best long lost friend!

If you don’t market your list this might just be the blues you’re doomed to sing.

What you need to do is direct everything else you do in marketing towards your list.

When you Optimize for the search engines make sure your driving eyeballs to your opt-in page so you can get their email and start making a beautiful relationship.

When you’re blogging make sure those who find you interesting know where to sign up to learn even more!

If you market with articles, use your list to hang onto the attention your articles have gotten for you.

If you pay per click market make doubly sure you sign-up those expensive sets of eyeballs.

And as I said before, you can bum around with bum marketing and that works great and if you find a way to make one of your messages go viral then rock on!

But whenever or wherever you get an eyeball looking in your direction I don’t care if you have to use staples, don’t let that eyeball get away.

Of course I’m kidding about the staples but I hope you getting the sense of urgency in my demeanor as I say again

A Clean, yet Stylish Squeeze Page

The hard part is actually Building that page.

1. You need to know HTML so you can get the page framework created
2. Then you need to know CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to make it look professional

4. Finally, you need to put it all together !

NOT ANY MORE!

Have you ever heard or read the phrase “multiple streams of income” before? Do you know what this phrase means? For many businessmen, creating multiple streams of income online or offline is one way of securing themselves as well as their businesses in the future. They also believe that it can also save them from the so-called famine effect in the business industry. Once you are engaged in affiliate marketing business, it is advisable if you have multiple streams of affiliate marketing income so that if one of those income streams vanished, it will not upset you the way losing your sole stream would. If you depend on just one source of income and this single stream has been downsized or has lain off, you’ll surely find yourself bankrupted and hopeless. Try to ask the most successful online entrepreneurs, and you’ll discover that they have established multiple streams of online income.

There is a businessman that said and attested that the very first step you must take in creating multiple streams of income is to assess or evaluate your resources. Start by assessing yourself first. Jot down your answers to the following questions: What are the talents, abilities, strength and gears that you possess? Are you gifted with excellent and creative writing skills? Can you do well at sales? Are you good in communicating with people? Are you born with an artistic skill or unique ability that other people don’t have? Through this, you can determine the kind of business where can possibly excel.

Next, look around and write down you assets and physical resources such as computer, color printer, scanner, digital camera, cell phone, CD or DVD burner. Write these all down because it can be used as a resource. Consider also your friends and family. Find out what do they possess that you have access to. Remember that no man is an island. You can use the talents, abilities, knowledge and resources of everyone you know.

That’s basically the initial step if you want to create multiple income streams. But if you’re already a webmaster or a site owner, you definitely have an edge. Why don’t you join affiliate marketing business to help you gain extra income out of your own website?

Being involved in affiliate marketing is one of the most desirable ways to make multiple sources of income. It is because affiliate marketing programs come in various shapes and forms. There are a large number of affiliate marketing programs that you can sign on with and start gaining bucks right away. In affiliate marketing, you can make money by promoting and reselling your affiliate products and by recruiting new affiliates. What’s good about this is that you can find widest array of training materials that can enhance your marketing abilities. In affiliate marketing, you can be sure that there are genuine products to promote and sell and there is real income to make.

Either part time or full time, being an affiliate marketer is an excellent way to create multiple income streams by means of promoting products and services from web merchants. Here, you can get affiliate commission without investing big bucks in making your own product and without worrying about book keeping, customer support and ecommerce. All you have to do is to promote and resell the products and services in your site and pass on potential customer’s the merchant’s site.

In affiliate marketing, it is advisable to promote more merchants in your site so that your visitors will have variety of destinations to choose from.  Using multiple merchants in the same site or niche means only one thing – you have multiple streams of affiliate income. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this business strategy because this is one of the best ways to protect your business and expanding your horizons. Through this, you can be assured that you won’t experience crisis if ever one of your web merchants closed his/her program.

However, you should choose only those affiliate programs that interest you so that you can effectively advertise and promote them. Don’t ever be tempted into signing up for numerous affiliate programs in the hope that one of them will bring income. Select wisely and don’t be engaged in selling products you know nothing about. Go with the stuff that jives with your enthusiasm; your passion can capture your client by the nose and guide him/her to your affiliate link.

You should also work hard to make your multiple streams of income more stable. You can do this by embracing some strategies and tactics and by developing within yourself, some traits that can help you become successful in any kind of business such as patience, persistence and thirst for knowledge.

Lastly, just remember the adage that says “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” So that if one of them

Tip 1 – Blog regularly With the amount of blogs out there competing for attention it is important to update your blog regularly. If you dont update your blog enough people will move on. No point reading what you have already read for example. Successful blogging therefore takes a commitment of your time. To capture peoples attention and to stay in tune with them be prepared to blog everyday. Your readers will then get accustomed to checking out your daily listings .

Tip 2 – Quality content In order to provide your readers with quality content first establish your target audience. Then with this in mind you can provide content that is unique to your audiences issues. Creating content that your audience connects with will ensure they will continue to return. The tone of your blog, once established, must continue to stay true to itself. Dont stray from your topics or tone as this only confuses the audience you have acquired.

Tip 3 – Keywords The use of keywords in titles, links, blog posts will determine your success in blogging. Search engines use keywords for there rankings. A good guide is to use your keywords 1 – 3% of the time in your article. To increase the value of the keywords in your content, make certain keywords a part of your link in your posts. Dont use “click here” as your link but establish a keyword instead such as “great marketing ideas”. This gives the keywords added emphasis with the search engines. Keywords are the “key” to successful blogging.

Tip 4 – Submit your blog to blog directories In addition to submitting your blog to the major search engines, make certain you submit the blog to exclusively blog directories such as blogcatalog, bloghub etc. Many people find blogs through these directories. When you do submit your blog to these directories remember to add a description that will entice your targeted audience.

Tip 5 – Use free blog traffic communities There are many traffic exchange sites for the blogging community. Sites such as blogexplosion,blogclicker etc will help drive traffic to your site. The free methods work as a kind of banking system. You earn credits as you surf through the member sites leaving posts on blogs that interest you. When you find a blog you like , add them to your blogroll and let them know you did. In summary, successful blogging is a great tool in your armoury. If used properly it can enhance your business prospects and drive traffic to your website.

Wishing you success

Have you heard of social media optimization? Test Marketing?

Social media optimization or in other words social media
that markets through using information gathered from social
communities.

A few examples of social media optimization tools and
websites include blogging/RSS feeds for blogs, Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and MySpace, BEBO and incorporating
third-party applications to communities like Facebook and
Myspace. Social media optimization is similar to search
engine optimization, but differs in many ways, Mostly, the
focal point is on driving traffic from sources within Social
bookmarking sites and communities other than directing
traffic from search engines.

The number of social media websites has exploded in the last
year and each of these new social networking websites is
different, they all attract different audiences with
individual and diverse interests. More and more businesses
want to experiment with social media optimization and you
can see this in the explosion in popularity of Twitter.

Twitter, one of the newest social networking websites, it
uses micro-blogging and many people are getting actively
involved in generating publicity through this form of social
media. When you “twitter” or micro-blog, post pictures,
and/or links you are inviting others into your life to
comment and ultimately approve or reject what you are
offering. This type of immediate response is an incredible
way to gather “up to the minute” targeted information.

Why is this important might you ask?

Getting feedback about your product and services is very
important and can help immensely when branding your company.
Business reputation is very important in branding and
marketing and up to date immediate feedback is considered an
integral part of an online reputation management system.
That is why many executives are now seeing the worth of
using social bookmarking and social media optimization to
test Search Engine Reputation Management strategies. this is
incredible for organizations or individuals who need to
enhance their online presence but cannot afford to pay for
surveys and focus groups.

Using social communities can optimize your “linkability” or
give you feed back and tips on ways to make your brand more
comfortable,

Along with immediate feedback about your brand popularity it
can also help your overall business.

Companies and individuals can now successfully use services
like tweetscan or
Tweepbeep to monitor each and every time their company name
or one of their products names are mentioned on Twitter and
then choose to respond accordingly through the social media
website or through their marketing, or engineering
departments.

This has the potential for real time insight for a company
CEO, whom often lose touch, with the people who are using
the products or services their corporation provides.

Imagine, if back in the late eighties, the board of K-mart
could have been following social media sites instead of
listening to yes men in the company. Then perhaps they could
have understood how a line in a movie like Rain Man where
Dustin Hoffman says “K-mart sucks” could become the punch
line to a joke they had already become.

Smart companies that want to avoid that kind of meltdown are
learning to keep their finger on the pulse of consumers
wants and needs and if you want to succeed you’ll want to do
the same thing.

Have you been wondering “What is this Twitter? Why are
people twittering? Is twittering even a word?”

Have you heard the words
tweet us at on the news or TV? Are
you worried that if you ask someone to describe twittering
or tweeting that you will be labeled as a social misfit or
uncool? I have also made that assumption. The assumption
that just because someone is young and into twittering or
understand social media that I would be greeted with
laughter or at best a blank stare. This is a bad assumption
and once I stepped over that fear of being laughed at, I
actually got answers. And I want to share my discovery with
you.

I bet you are thinking yeah, yeah so what is Twitter,
Twittering, tweeting and all that jazz? Why do news agencies
use it and why do I see in on T.V.?

Twitter is a website that offers something called micro-
blogging. Micro-blogging (yeah, another word to learn) like
blogging, it allows people to text little updates and put
them immediately online, so that anyone can see them or by
only people in special social groups.

Tweets (the little text messages) can be submitted to
Twitter with a variety ways and devices from instant
messaging, email, cell phones or the web. Tweets are direct
text messages sent “at” a person by using the “@” symbol
before their username. This
tweet will not only communicate
with that single person but also show partial conversations
with other members of the group. Then, once you have an
account with Twitter and someone follows you, people can
direct message one another or “DM” through the Twitter
websites interface.

Twitters can friend or “follow” other Tweeple (people plus
tweeter) to receive Twits,
tweets or Twitters (it is a
personal preference what you call it). Adding or “following”
a person is similar to adding a friend on a social network
like Facebook.

Next question…why?
tweeting on Twitter attracts people
with similar likes and dislikes. It is all about letting
people know what you are up to and expressing yourself in
140 characters or less. It’s an immediate mini form of self
expression. Tweets range from single commentary on subjects
near and dear to the heart in little bursts and rants to
just describing mundane activities at any exact moment from
waking up and drinking a latte to news worthy events or even
deciding what shoes to wear.

Some tweets pin point
and use Twitter for monetary gain.
They post links to websites and blogs. Twitter allows a
business person to draw attention to blog entries, sale
coupons, happenings and events. Twitter allows a business
person to target people with similar backgrounds and buying
habits.

There are many uses for Twitter just to name a few, you can
ask for advice, heighten aware in a cause, offer help and
resources to others, promote products and/or services and
even promote breaking news. So, that is why you are hearing
Twitter everywhere, with so many uses and the fact it allow
self expression in immediate bursts…how could it be any
other way! Now, will you be tweeting soon?

I know we all like to focus on Twitter because of its
simplicity. However, it is important to use Twitter in
combination with other social networking sites. You want to
be able to connect with your Twitter friends should
something bad happen and the site go down, right? Here are
three sites that you can use in conjunction with Twitter to
market your business.

1. Twitter + Utterli = Stay connected with your tweeps
when you are away from a computer.

Utterli is an utterly awesome tool in my opinion. You don’t
have to have fancy equipment to post to Twitter if you have
utterli. Utterli has a feature that allows you to record
audio posts right from your phone. This can come in really
handy if you are attending a tweetup and you want to let
your tweeps know that you are at the designated location.
Utterli also cross posts to a lot of different networks too.
The neat thing about utterli’s cross posting feature is your
friends don’t even have to join utterli for you to talk to
them. It’s nice if they do join you on utterli. This way if
Twitter is down for whatever reason, you can still get in
touch with that person.

2. Another good tool to use in conjunction with Twitter
is skype. Skype is a service that allows you to make phone
calls from your computer. You can also use skype to chat.
Skype is great when you and a tweep are holding a
conversation that requires more than 140 characters to do it
justice. Skype is also good to use if you are discussing
something private that you really don’t want the whole
Twitterverse to know about.

3. You can also use Facebook in conjunction with
Twitter. It’s important to connect with your Twitter
friends on Facebook because some people are more comfortable
with Facebook than they are with Twitter. Facebook also
allows you to build a deeper one on one connection with your
Twitter friends because they have all of those applications
and games. A whole different article could be written about
all of the different Facebook applications and how they can
help your business. That’s beyond the scope of this
article. Just be sure to invite your Twitter friends to
friend you on Facebook (hey I didn’t make it up, they did)
and you’ll have an additional way to contact them.

4. Twitter in and of itself is an excellent place to
network and grow your business. However, it is important not
to get too comfortable on any one social networking site.
You don’t want your business to sit at a standstill because
someone decided to close down your favorite social media
site.

5. Twitter automation is another great method of making
the most of your time. There are literally hundreds of sites
online that will allow you to automate many tasks regarding
Twitter. Sites for automatically sending your new followers
a friendly welcome message (Auto DM Script) or sites that
will even allow you to filter your followers based on
Keywords or topics and schedule your tweets based on a
preset time schedule. And there are even some that have a
mechanism in place that will allow you to use the same basic
tweet phrase but will insert different words or phrases into
your tweet based on ‘tags’ that you generate.

If this method of using twitter sounds enticing, you may
want to take a look at the new Tweeple Pro
Scripts membership. Each and every month you will get a
new Twitter based script to help you automate or build your
following on Twitter. And the best part about the site is
the new method of delivery and installation of these
scripts! Each month, you login to your site, check the
latest script out to see if you want to use it, and if you
do, simply click a button, fill in a text box or two and you
are ready to go. Plus, each monthly script comes with videos
to show you how to use them!

Tweeple Pro
Scripts can save you hours of time every month and still
allow you to interact with your followers while maintaining
your business.

The Twitter background: To snaz or not to snaz that is the
question. I really have no definitive answer to that
question. But it seems that if you are trying to make a name
for yourself anything will help and it can’t hurt to pimp
out your Twitter background to see if you can’t stand out
from the rest maybe even create a little controversy. If you
already are famous as heck, like Demi Moore, I guess you
don’t have to do squat to your account to attract huge
followings of Twitter faithful who will hang on your every
word.

That said I thought I would spot light a few Twitter
backgrounds and give you some background on the backgrounds
if that makes any sense at all.

Since we mentioned Demi Moore already I will just start with
her background. Of course if you are a Gen Xer you remember
Demi as the hot starlet with the husky voice from St. Elmos
Fire or perhaps her early marriage to Bruce Willis or the
too numerous to mention movies she has starred in and now
are just starting to believe she is some sort of vampire,
because frankly gravity is not doing things to her body that
it is to the rest of us. If you are younger than a Gen Xer
you just may think she is some pretty young woman you’d like
to hangout with. Whatever you think of Demi- her Twitter
following has erupted to over half of million while probably
her Twitter background is one of the most plain and
unpretentious on the site. Her back ground or the lack of it
can be seen at http://twitter.com/mrskutcher

Now to cover the other end of the spectrum I think absolute
craziest Twitter background title belongs to Mr. Michael Ian
Black in which has a depiction of him hiding behind Dr.
Pepper cans evidently naked and apparently strangling a
unicorn while Demi Moore is looking on.

This background seems to be helping him gain followers
because he also has over a quarter of a million followers,
even though he is not famous. He does claim to be a famous
comedian but his claim to fame is from an obscure show on
MTV which no one watched since MTV has stopped playing video
and started ripping off Mexican TV game shows. His Twitter
background can be seen at

http://api.twitter.com/michaelianblack

To contrast the art work of the Mr. Blacks Twitter
background I would like to leave you with the classic black
background. The sort of Ralf Lorene style background which
no one can comment on or condemn, because it is so simple
and classically black. This is the little black dress of
Twitter websites and like the dress it is perfect for every
occasion. In the Twitter world a classic black background
goes with whatever you have to say. The classic black
background goes well with political statements, just day to
day banter, celebrity gossip even if you don’t have anything
to say. Like in the case of The Mime who has not only gained
over 8,000 followers without being famous he has also gained
all of those followers without ever tweeting a single word. That’s
right since becoming a member The Mime has amassed a loyal
following thru his classic black background and his uncanny
ability to keep us spellbound by his (-) tweets. You can see The Mime on
Twitter at http://api.twitter.com/TheMime

So, you can see for yourself how a background can work or
not work for you.
