Thanks for subscribing! I've included a $25 surprise gift in your first issue, so please make sure to keep an eye out for it in your email inbox, and if you're asked to "confirm" your subscription please do so as I won't be able to deliver the gift otherwise!

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. It's all powered by a third party software application so no worries, you're in total control.

Step 1. Pick a topic that you're passionate about (or at least get some enjoyment out of). Make sure it's a topic/market where a good deal of money is exchanged. If not, pick another topic.

Step 2. Look at how others are making money and building businesses around the topic you've chosen, and study what's working (i.e., study the products and services being sold successfully around your chosen topic, and study the MARKETING STRATEGIES and systems behind those same products and services). This is a KEY step.

Step 3. Get involved in forums and communities centered around your topic (and continue to research and pay attention to what's successful and what people are buying in relation to your topic).

Step 4. Start building your OWN community around your topic of choice. I recommend a free newsletter, but you could start a forum as well (or both). Set up a sales page and opt in form for your newsletter, and promote that page just like you would a PAID product (with a sales letter and bonuses). Even though it's a free newsletter, you still need to offer compelling benefits, convincing people to subscribe. The better the benefits (and the more effectively you convey those benefits) the more subscribers you'll receive. (Study effective copywriting techniques!)

Side Note: Any "technical process" such as setting up a newsletter, setting up a forum, setting up a web page, or even such things as creating a pop up window or copying and pasting an HTML link can be found on Google for free. It's not necessary to go into depth on the technical aspects of online business. What's most critical are the marketing strategies and principles you follow, and that's what I'm providing you here.

Step 5. Work on building a relationship with your subscribers. Send them quality articles or downloads on a regular basis (information that benefits them and obviously information based on your topic of choice). What's important is not so much how frequently you contact them, but that you contact them regularly - consistently. I'd recommend at least once every two weeks.

Step 6. Along with # 5 above, start paying attention to what your subscribers or your community participants WANT. What is it, in relation to your topic that they are looking for? What problems are they looking to avoid, or fix, or conquer? With a list of subscribers, this is as simple as broadcasting emails ASKING (your subscribers) what they want, through a simple survey and bonus for completing the survey for example. The more effectively you get to know what your subscribers want, the more effectively you can provide it.

Step 7. Provide your community what they want! This is done through affiliate offers and/or offering your own products and services. It's common for marketers and business owners to CREATE products from scratch, based specifically on information that they've gleaned from their subscribers or the community (forum, social network, whatever) that they've built. I'd recommend you start out by promoting affiliate products, and then move to creating your own products not long after. You also get a good feel for what types of products to create from scratch (for what people want) by what affiliate products are selling best for you.

Step 8. Continue to build your list or community, continue to build your *relationship* with your list or community, keep in touch with customers, offer backend products to existing customers, develop new products based on subscriber and customer feedback, work in additional affiliate offers: Repeat Steps 6 and 7!

The secret here is in the combination of the above otherwise simple steps. Follow them diligently and they can lead you to success. You don't need 2,500 training courses to succeed online.

The key to unlimited traffic is one that somehow escapes many newcomers to online marketing. And yet, it's so simple!...

The key is to start your own affiliate program, where you pay a commission to your "affiliates" - those who refer customers to your site and your product(s).

Of course, this requires that you have your own product. But these days there are endless places to get your own products with resale rights or private label rights (just do a search on Google for "private label rights").

If you're selling digital / downloadable products which cost nothing to reproduce, you can offer 50% to 75% commissions in exchange for each sale referred. ClickBank.com is a service that enables you to accept payments online, while easily integrating your own affiliate program... They'll even pay your affiliates for you! If using PayPal.com to accept payments, check out PayDotCom.com for affiliate program management.

If you've always wondered how the "gurus" get all their traffic, this is the secret. You'll find that in almost every case, they have their own affiliate program - and that it's their affiliate program sending them the majority of their traffic.

Of course, as with anything there are exceptions, and there are many great ways to generate traffic. But running your own affiliate program should be one of your main focuses, especially if you sell your own products.

There is an almost fool-proof way to increase the conversion rate of your online offer. And not any minor increase. I'm talking MAJOR increases in conversions of up to 500% or more...

The secret is to offer a free trial period, or free trial of some sort.

Don't make the mistake of overlooking the POWER of free trials just because the concept sounds simple. Some of the best converting sites online are those that offer free trial periods.

Think about it. The big "road block" to ordering online is skepticism. People aren't sure about what they'll get, or what happens when they click that order button. So what you want to do is eliminate all doubt on the part of your customers with the free trial offer.

If offering a monthly membership site, offer a 7 day trial period. You DO want to take the payment information up front. But assure your customer that they won't be billed until after the 7 day trial is up. And assure that they may easily cancel at any time BEFORE the trial period expires.

If offering an ebook (as another example), offer a couple chapters of the book (at different timed intervals) to your customers during the trial period. Make sure to "leave 'em hanging" so that they'll really want to receive the next chapter when their billing begins.

This isn't rocket science! Obviously there are some situations in which it's just not practical or possible to offer a free trial. But in nearly every case I've tested, offering a free trial increases conversions AND paying customers is a big, BIG way.

Get creative and see how YOU can offer a free trial to your prospects. And watch your sales increase!

Here's a simple way to increase the sales and conversions on the affiliate products you're offering...

You've probably seen this done, but are you doing it yourself (and doing it in the specific ways I've explained here)?...

There's really no excuse not to be offering a compelling BONUS OFFER to the affiliates who order through your affiliate link.

You can quite easily double or triple your affiliate sales this way.

Finding bonus products is fairly easy. Do a search on Google for reprint rights, resale rights, or private label rights. Locate products that relate to, or compliment the affiliate product you're promoting. Purchase several of them and assemble them into a unique "bonus package" ready to send to your affiliates when they've ordered through your affiliate link.

This method also helps reduce "affiliate theft". People will want to make CERTAIN they're ordering through your affiliate link, for fear that they'll otherwise miss out on your bonus offer.

Another key is to find FRESH affiliate products to promote... Or similarly, find quality offers that haven't been heavily promoted in a while (off the radar)...

I personally like finding new products over at imnewswatch.com. Another great place is ClickBank.com. Both of those resources will give you fresh NEW products to promote nearly every day.

Generally, the better your bonus offer, the more affiliate sales you stand to make. And some people will order SOLELY because they want your bonus!

Of course, since you're spending your time to put together a bonus offer, turn it into a product for SALE as well! No sense in offering it SOLELY as a bonus offer. Also, when people see that the bonus is actually for SALE, it puts an increased perceived value on it. So you end up with more affiliate sales. AND a viable product ready to sell afterward!

If you'd like to have the benefit and control of selling your OWN product(s) online, but aren't sure what to sell, strongly consider INFORMATION PRODUCTS. And even more specifically, digital (downloadable) information products.

Here are some the convincing benefits in doing so...

Unlimited income potential. Countless millionaires have been made in the information marketing business (publishers, Internet and mail order marketers, seminar speakers, authors, and more) - could you be the next?!

Build a business you can be proud of by helping others. We live in the information age. People of all walks of life have an insatiable desire for information, and you can build a business around helping to fulfill this desire. Even the most simple information products can carry a very high perceived value. With options like private labeling and ghostwriting, you don't have to be seasoned writer to succeed in the information marketing business.

You control your time and schedule. Time is your most important asset. Chances are your employer controls much of your time right now. As a successful information marketer you can typically work when you want, where you want, and however much you want! It's perhaps the most flexible business in the world!

Start on a shoestring budget. Just imagine, you can start and run a successful Internet-based information marketing business for well under 75 per month (that's less than many peoples' cable bills!). The income-potential vs. cost-of-doing-business ratio of the information marketing business is to my knowledge second to none!

Capitalize on amazing profit margins. In the information marketing business, profit margins of 95-100% are common. For example, digital books and information products cost absolutely nothing to reproduce and distribute, yet are often priced at 10 to 97 per copy depending on the subject matter. Few if any other industries enjoy such incredible profit margins.

Run your business from anywhere in the world... Run your business from the comfort of home! With a wireless Internet connection your office is anywhere you choose to sit down and work - even outside on nice days. You can easily run your business from wherever you might choose to travel or vacation provided an Internet connection is available.

Enjoy more free time by completely automating much of your business. If you choose to run an online information marketing business, you can easily automate the entire ordering process - everything from accepting and processing customer payments, to fulfilling the order by having the customer automatically transferred to your "product download page" after their payment is complete. So all that "hype" you hear about making money while you sleep, or while you're out shopping (or out on the golf course like me) - that's not hype! It's the real deal, and perhaps THE ultimate benefit to digital information marketing.

So what's the ultimate key to selling a product or service?...

It's simply to offer PROOF that the *benefits* you're promising will be delivered upon.

For example, if you're offering a traffic service with the benefit of delivering "1,000 visitors per week" - you need to do all you can in your ad copy and sales messages to PROVE that you can deliver on that promise.

One way to provide proof would be to offer testimonials.

Another way would be screenshots of results gained with your product.

Another would be to show the product in action on video.

There are all sorts of ways to provide proof.

The more PROOF you can provide to your prospective customers, generally the more sales you'll make!

Obviously, your ad copy (headlines, sales letters, classified ads, etc.) should spell out the ULTIMATE BENEFIT of your product (along with listing all possible "sub" benefits). That's objective #1...

But what really packs the punch and does the selling is giving PROOF of those benefits. In fact, your sales letter/message could contain little more than offering the ultimate benefit, and providing proof that you can deliver on that benefit (that your product or service actually DOES what it claims) - without any other elements or "filler" copy, and generate sales like crazy!

Your prospective customers are looking for proof. If you don't offer proof and your competitors do, they'll leave your site and buy from the competition!

If you have a benefit that people want, and can provide PROOF supporting that benefit...

*You have a winning offer!* Period.

It's amazing how skeptical people are these days. Some skepticism is good. But too much skepticism will cost you!

Don't let your skepticism keep you from success. Apply *knowledge* instead of uneducated, "broad brush" skepticism, as follows:

1. Participate in communities and forums related to your intended topic of business. You'll learn what programs real people like you are succeeding in, and which to avoid. If you don't know where to start, find several good internet marketing forums such as ablakeforum.com. If you're interested in an opportunity, post it on the board and get opinions. Product review sites are also excellent for this purpose. Search for "abc site review" or "abc product review" on Google to see if any reviews are available.

2. If something was sent to you in an email message that you're absolutely certain you didn't request, it's likely spam. Don't sign up for it, no matter how good it may sound! Of course, you may have forgotten that you signed up for a particular list or newsletter, so follow due diligence and never automatically conclude that something is spam without a bit of research or follow up. Jumping to conclusions is not fair to you, and not fair to the sender.

3. Remember that YOU have ultimate control with any product or service you order with a credit card. If all else fails, you can issue a "chargeback" through your credit card company. Of course, do EVERYTHING in your power to contact the company by phone or email (or other) long before issuing a chargeback. This tip is a last resort, but it's a reminder that you're the one in control and rarely if ever a helpless victim.

4. Most online newsletters are powered by third parties like Aweber.com or Getresponse.com. Such services follow strict CAN-SPAM rules (they have to!), meaning you can easily unsubscribe at any time and won't get "stuck" on any lists against your will. When you opt-in to a newsletter, just make sure they state clearly that they keep your information private and do not share with 3rd parties. You can also keep a 2nd or backup email account using gmail, hotmail, or yahoo to join such lists. So worst case scenario, if something happens you still have your MAIN email account. Apply this tip and you're perfectly fine subscribing to email publications and newsletters.

5. Avoid hyped claims... There's nothing wrong with making a product sound as good as possible obviously. If you're the one doing the selling you'll obviously want to list all benefits possible. But avoid OBVIOUSLY hyped claims such as "you don't have to do any work, and you'll have cash flowing in hand over fist". The rule of thumb is that online business is still BUSINESS. You have to work to succeed! There's no magic button to success. NONE. So forget about it and stop your search right now if that's what you're looking for.

BONUS TIP: Look to see how long a business or web-site has been around. There are many perfectly legit NEW businesses and opportunities, but to see that a business has been around for years is a great sign that it's legit and has many satisfied customers.

By applying the above tips you can *move forward* with the business opportunities of your choice with minimal to no risk, and find the success you're looking for! Don't let an unhealthy level of skepticism block you from success.
