Like driving traffic to my web sites.

I know I need to do it. I know that just a few traffic tactics would swell my online income like the winner in a hot dog eating contest. But I honestly I didn’t know where to begin.

So, I did what every hard-working entrepreneur would do…I gave the job to someone else!

I have a virtual assistant named Shannon who knew next to nothing about traffic, search engines and all that kind of stuff. I said, ”Here, watch this video and do what it says.”

http://www.TheTrafficBootcamp.com

And that’s it. No training. No follow up. No nothing.

And quite frankly, I didn’t expect much. But then she gave me a report after a few weeks:

#1 in Google for webinar training (2,070,000 competing web pages)

#1 in Google for webinar strategy (1,190,000 competing web pages)

– I actually have 5 of the top 8 spots for this keyword

#2 in Google for webinar tool (1,190,000 competing web pages)

#1 in Google for webinar presentation (323,000 competing pages)

#3 in Google for business webinar (9.5 million competing pages!)

#2 in Google for business webinar training (1,220,000 competing

pages)

I have many other top 10 rankings in Google, but I wanted to show you the ones that HAD HUGE COMPETITION! The pages that BEAT OUT MILLIONS OF COMPETING WEB PAGES to get those high rankings in the search engines. Which generates LOTS of traffic to my web sites!

Did I fall into a chocolate pie or what!

And then she did the same thing for my Online Business Basics course…I guess my laziness paid off in a big way! Shannon took that simple video and went to town!

Would you like to watch the same video Shannon did? It’s called the 24-Hour Traffic Plan Video. It gives you 13 things to do in the next 24 hours to start driving massive amounts of traffic to your site …sometimes within days!

And massive amounts of traffic equals MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ONLINE INCOME …and calls from important joint venture partners looking to do business with you!

So, check out the video that started this whole ball rolling. And see if my laziness can be your good fortune!

Warmly,

Stephen Beck

PS…This video will only be available until the end of this week on Friday, September 3. After that, I will pull it down indefinitely. Don’t sit on the fence for this one!

Both offline and online business are using webinars. Video is here to stay. A webinar is really just controlled television. It gives people information in the way they are used to finding it, which is on the television.

A major advantage to a business webinar is the amount of people you can reach at one time. It is the ultimate form of leverage. Webinars free up time for you to do other activities, whether business related or fun.

Think about how great it would be for you to use a business webinar to segment your prospects so that you focus your marketing dollars on prospects targeted because they attended the webinar. It is one of the best ways you can prequalify the prospects you target for your products and services.

The ability to reach massive amounts of people with a business webinar is amazing, giving you a reach of 1-100, 1-500 or even 1-1000. Location is not a factor. You can reach an audience worldwide. It is truly a great way to pick out your ideal prospect and focus your marketing efforts.

One of the greatest things about webinars is that you can get the attention of your potential customers and keep it as long as necessary to make the sale. This is because webinars are very interactive. With webinars, you can create an event and give them a reason to buy now, as opposed to tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or even next year.

Utilizing a business webinar is a great marketing tool that many people simply do not maximize to their advantage. I know what it has done for my business and I believe it can do the same for yours.

Stephen Beck teaches people how to make profits online with the business webinar. Go grab his free online business information at http://www.wildlywealthywebinars.com so your family can begin using webinar training today.

One of the most common challenges is they have no product or service. Making money online is a business and you need to have a product, preferably an information product to make money.

The second area that a lot of people struggle with when they attempt to make money on the internet is exposure. Marketing outside of where you are located can be challenging. This is especially true if you are marketing a service that does not work well for a national audience. As an example, there is not a huge demand for an attorney outside of the city he or she practices in. You need to have people you can market to in order to make money.

Another challenge to making money online is getting in front of the right people. Qualifying people over the phone can be challenging. When I used to do remodeling I know it was difficult to determine over the phone if a potential client was really looking to get a project done or if I was wasting my time. When you invest time with people who are not interested and will not buy from you, it limits your ability to make money.

Some people struggle to make money on the internet simply because they have not figured out the best way to capture the attention of their ideal prospect. This is not like television or a newspaper where you can expose your ad multiple times. On the internet you often only get one chance to make an impression. You also must recognize that the internet does not replace the need for in person appointments for complicated services like in the financial, real estate, medical or legal industries. You should use your internet marketing strategy to help you generate leads in which you can then book appointments.

The final limitation to income online is not giving the prospect a reason to buy now. People online have short attention spans and if you do not give them a reason to buy from you right this minute they will not buy from you and will most likely not buy from you in the future.

You can see there are many reasons that can limit your income online. The key is to identify which of these reasons might be holding you back so that you can make money on the internet.

What makes webinars so effective is how the simple act of registering for a webinar qualifies a prospect for your business. If that same person actually participates in the webinar, they become even more qualified. If that same person listens to the entire webinar they are even more qualified. Finally, if they listen to the entire webinar and they participate in the post webinar survey, they become the most qualified person on which to market your products and services.

When you are marketing webinars, you must recognize that not everyone is going to buy from you right away. Some people may like what you have to offer but may not buy for financial reasons or because they are not sold yet. Separating your prospective customer list into these four categories makes it easier to market.

These are the people that are most likely to buy in the future. By responding to your webinar invitation they have confirmed their interest. Does it make sense to spend your hard earned time and money on people who have not confirmed interest? No way! If they do not confirm interest and you market to them, you may be marketing to people who really are not interested in what you have to offer. As a result, you will spend a lot of time and money and not get anything in return for your efforts.

With marketing webinars you know exactly who are the best prospects to spend your time and effort on. Using this strategy shows you who are most likely to make a decision to purchase your product or service and which customers you should spend your efforts following up with.

Using webinars can dramatically improve the bottom line for your offline business. If you are not implementing them into your business you are likely spending time and money that you do not have to spend.

The funnel concept is a great way to visualize your business when you sell your knowledge over the internet. Understanding how it works is some of the best business start up advice anyone ever gave me.

What I want you to do is to get in your mind a picture of a huge funnel. This funnel should have a wide opening at the top and a small opening at the bottom. Entering the top of the funnel is easy because of its large width. However, emerging from the bottom of the funnel is more difficult. This is because of how narrow and thin the bottom end of the funnel is.

This funnel is exactly how the process of building a business works. It is easy to sell your knowledge if you are offering it for free in a report. It becomes a little more difficult when you charge $10 for information. It becomes even more difficult if you are charging $37 or $67 for additional information. This is why you need to have multiple products in your ebook business.

Why do you want to set your business up to sell your knowledge like this? You do so because at the top of your funnel is where you are going to have the most amount of people. As you continue to move through the funnel you are going to have fewer and fewer people. Generally speaking, more people will buy your $10 eBook than your $500 home study course. This is because when you charge more, it requires a higher level of commitment.

As you offer these products, you have to do more to make your customers feel comfortable. The marketing process that you use to give away a free report is not necessarily going to be as effective if you are marketing a $200 coaching program. People need to feel confident that your product can help them and that it will be worth the investment. Otherwise, they will hesitate and you will not make the sale. However, if you do a good job at this, not only will they buy, but they will promote for you also.

This is the power behind the funnel philosophy. When you first get started in selling information, you typically only care about having one product to sell. You just want to make that first sale. However, those who understand the whole view know they need many products with many price points. They also understand that they want more complicated products that serve their customers as they grow.

By focusing your efforts on providing value, you will build up the level of trust that your customers are willing to invest in you. Your product portfolio funnel should illustrate this goal by including escalating values of products with escalating price points. Now you should not expect to have this trust coming out of the gate. However, you do want to have a goal to shoot for and build towards because it is absolutely essential if you want to build a big business and sell your knowledge.

Although I have been an entrepreneur for a long time, I have seen the most success in my business since learning internet marketing. From my experience, one quick way to make money on the internet is through affiliate sales.

Before you discount this as a good option, let me outline a simple way to approach this idea. You can begin generating cash flow this week so that you can afford domain names and outsourcing some of the details of your business. For example, you could outsource email, article marketing, and webinar setup just to name a few.

The first key is to find something to recommend. It should be something inexpensive that you can comfortably recommend to others. You don’t want to recommend a big ticket item right away, but instead start out small and build up to it. You want your list to trust you and rely on your recommendations. Look at the sales page for that product, and you will be able to tell whether or not it is appealing.

The second key is to figure out which benefits are most important. What I mean by this is what problems are your readers trying to solve and how would their lives improve if this problem were solved. This where I like to look at the conversations in the niche-related sites. I go to forums and even social networking sites to figure out the answer. Doing this little bit of research almost always results in greater sales.

The third key to affiliate sales is to write a recommendation. Let me give you a sample outline. When you write a recommendation for an affiliate product, be sure to include the following: what does it do, how does it benefit the reader, how does it compare with similar products, what did you like about it, what did you not like about it, and what is your overall ranking? You can then post your review on your blog or other website, but the whole point is to make sure it is on your site with your affiliate link and then drive traffic to your review.

The fourth key is to spread the word about your recommendation. Again, your blog or website is important. If you do not have a blog, I recommend WordPress or blogger. You can also send an email to the contacts in your personal or business account. They will be interested to hear about your recommendation.

The fifth key to affiliate sales is to supercharge the whole process with search engine optimization (SEO). You want to rank in Google for keywords people would use if they were about to buy. These are different than general keywords. When you use “buyer” keywords, you can optimize your recommendation post or web pages by using them in the post.

Without a doubt, affiliate sales can be a quick way to begin earning money. If you work diligently on these steps, you will see cash flow this week.

Do you want to learn how to start an internet business? Stephen Beck is an expert, and he can show you how to make your first $1000 online. Go grab a FREE link to his webinar replay, where he explains everything you should do: http://www.YourOnlineBasics.com.

To begin with, you will want to submit your articles to a website called Ezine Articles. Because of the authority of this site, Google ranks articles here higher than others. It likes anything from Ezine because the site requires original articles which cannot be found in other directories. So be sure to submit to Ezine first. You can even create a template so that your process is easier.

Once your article is approved, you can use that same article to create a webpage. You can rewrite your article and post it to your business blog. This gets your article out to your list.

Next, take the second version of your article and submit it to other article directories. I use Articles Base and Article Snatch in addition to posting on Ezine. I have noticed that my articles on these three sites routinely get ranked high in Google.

When you post, rotate your article titles and resource boxes. When you rotate your resource boxes, you use different backward links to direct traffic to your domain. This can also increase your rank in Google.

Submitting articles is a popular and effective way to drive traffic to your site and also get backlinks. All it takes is some well-written articles, submitted to just the right directories. Why not begin today?
