Let’s be honest. You’re good at what you do. You take care of your family. You run your business with integrity. And you take care of your customers.

Even if you don’t have a business at this moment, this is how you’ll run it when you start your online business, right?

But, the fact is… you’re working too many hours. With this economy, I bet you’re working harder than ever …and making less money!

Costs are rising.
Sales are down.
Your customers are spending less in these uncertain economic times.
It’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet.

Everyone says it’s so easy to make money online, but you still haven’t figured out the 3 things you must do:

- Get qualified leads online…

- Convert those leads into customers…

- Make more money per customer…

- Implement systems so that your marketing  runs on auto-pilot…

Okay, that’s 4 things, not 3. I’m over delivering!

No, instead of helping you make money, internet marketing has actually cost you money!

The internet has become a money pit and a time-sucking vacuum!

But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right knowledge and a strategic plan, you can harness the incredible power of the internet to make more money and create more freedom in your life!

So, here’s what I’ve done for you.

I’ve assembled a team of CRACK EXPERTS in online marketing to share their secrets with you …for FREE! You can actually listen from the comfort of your own home.

I’ve brought together the biggest names in Online Marketing so you can achieve the success you deserve.

Whether your business is online or offline,you simply CAN’T afford to miss this unique opportunity to learn from the best.

I am hosting 5 webinars in a series called Big List, Big Sales, Big Freedom!

Welcome to 12 days of fun little specials. Steve and I learned that the 12 Days of Christmas are probably the most misunderstood part of the church year.

With that in mind, we are going to have a sale every day for each of the 12 Days of Christmas. Be sure and check your email each and every day to take advantage of all of them … all specials are cumulative

Creating a sense of urgency by using scarcity is one way. If you are hosting a webinar you can do this buy saying “this offer is only available until 11:59 tomorrow evening.” By utilizing a time limit, the people who are in position to buy but are holding off will be motivated to buy. Without utilizing a time limit, they might never buy from you even though they want to.

You can also drive prospects to take action on your business webinars by limiting supply. If you say “There are only 150 copies of this item,” people know there is a risk you might run out. Make sure the reason you limit copies makes sense. Saying “only 150 copies because I feel like it” will not work.

As for how you can limit quality with credibility, there are several strategies you can employ. Take for instance personal coaching. You can use time restrictions to limit your availability. As for seminars, the amount of space available allows you to set limits on the number of seats sold. If you are dealing with a physical product, you have to produce a certain amount of copies so you can leverage that to your advantage. This way your prospects will understand why availability is limited.

Another quantity technique, like for market trading products, is “I am only going to put out 100 because I need to limit the impact on the market. If everyone gets access to these strategies it will hurt us all.” This way you can use market impact as an excuse to limit quantity to increase urgency in the sales process.

The previous techniques deal with sense of urgency but using fear of loss on business webinars is also important. By presenting a potential loss in the mind of your prospect, this can be a powerful motivator for taking action. For instance, if you say “free shipping to the first 50 buyers,” this will motivate some people on the fence to take action.

Considering these scenarios, you should have a greater understanding why you need to drive your prospects to take action now. To really increase your conversions, you should also include a penalty if they do not buy now. One of the easiest penalties to implement is a price increase after a certain period of time. Another strategy is you can simply take the product off the market or take parts of it off the market. Whatever you do, the key is to identify the penalty and communicate it to your prospective customers clearly.

Live events are a great way to create scarcity. Business webinars can only support a certain amount of people. A live event location only has a certain amount of space. You can create an event out of anything if you really think about it.

Say you are celebrating your 11th anniversary. You can use that event as a promotion for your product. The promotion can consist of a sale of your product for 11 days. The 1st day has the lowest price and each day the price increases. Once the 11th day passes, the product is pulled from the market. This way your prospects have a daily sense of urgency and fear of loss to take action. Business webinars are an excellent way to communicate and implement this.

In conclusion, remember that you need to reward people who do business with you now. You need to penalize the ones that do not do business with you now so that if they are on the fence, they will decide to do business with you sooner.

A Personal Message from Steve & Kerry

We’ve had an exciting week.  Last week we spent time with our Mastermind group that Yanik Silver organizes.  We came home with some great ideas to implement and you’ll be seeing them over the next few weeks.  We also made some great connections in other niche markets.  If you don’t have a coach or mastermind group, you need to find one.

A more personal & exciting event happened once we got home from DC.  Our oldest daughter, Ashley, got engaged to be married…whoop!  She & Jesse are already planning the wedding for January, so Kerry will be balancing the roles of wedding coordinator, mom-preneur and wife for the next few months.  We are excited to see God working in their lives and look forward to having a new member in our family.

Steve & Kerry

Steve & Kerry Recommend: SOC Box

What in the world is a SOC Box?

If you are looking for more customers, more referrals, more sales, more money…a SOC Box might be your answer.

Over the past 6 months, you’ve heard me talk about Send Out Cards (SOC) and how we use it to get more sales after our webinars.  We also use Send Out Cards to get more Joint Venture partners, more referrals and more long-term clients.  And we get more residual income from SOC…even when we aren’t working!

But, you haven’t started using Send Out Cards because you didn’t have $395!  Right???

Now you can get started with Send Out Cards for only $49.  That’s right…$49!

With that $49 you get a SOC Box mailed to your doorstep, you get access to the SOC Get Started website and you can send 10 cards (with the stamps) from that site.  You can even upload your photos to make your own Picture Cards.

But that’s not all…

Send Out Cards now has an affiliate program.  If you become a SOC affiliate, you can sell the SOC boxes for $49 and make a profit of $24 on each box you sell.  When you sell 10 boxes in 30 days, you get a $100 bonus.  That’s $340 in 30 days.  You’d have enough money to become a SOC entrepreneur and start getting passive (residual) income.

This is the EASIEST, QUICKEST & CHEAPEST way I know to start a home based business….all for less than $75!

This is too cool……

If you want to get your own SOC box, click the button below and I’ll mail you one of mine!
Give Me a SOC Box – Quick Home Based Business

In the meantime, start making a list of who needs to receive a card from you!

FWIW…the SOC Box was announced this past weekend and I wanted you to be the first to know how to use it.

To become an affiliate, you will need to upgrade from a SOC Box user to an affiliate for $25.  That’s dirt cheap!

Featured Article: Find Products to Sell Online
by Stephen Beck

Finding products in your niche can be difficult at times, but I’d like to give you a few tips to help you make the most profit. Even if your niche is one where customers don’t usually spend lots of money, it is possible to sell with a rewarding profit.

When looking for products to sell, keep in mind you want ones that are in high demand and have a relatively high markup. Meaning, you will get more bang for your time spent if you choose a course that you make $50 from as opposed to a book that you make $5 from. So here is my advice on on how to make sales online with a product in the homeschool market.

Step 1: Find a product in the homeschool market that you can re-sell. Remember, it should be something with a higher markup. If you can’t sell it directly, look for affiliate programs which provide you a commission on sales.

Step 2: Write a review on the product. By writing a review, you become known as the residential home-schooling expert. People will seek out your advice, so create a one-page website for your review.

Step 3: Research your keywords, then sprinkle them around your site. Optimize your title tags, HTML tags, text, and more with keywords. Use an email capture program to collect contact information, and add a shopping cart to make it easy for the customer to pay.

Step 4: Write some articles that are optimized for your secondary keywords and submit those to article directories on the internet. This will lead people back to your website and provide those all important backward links that the search engines like so much!

Step 5: Find forums which discuss that product. Become the forum expert with a tactful link to your site in the signature

All these steps take time, the best investment you can make in your internet business. You can earn amazing profits with your online business by following these simple steps.

Remember to keep your eyes on the prize. Look for products with higher markups, which are more profitable to you. Enjoy the experience of selling great products, even in the most-difficult niche, and watch your bottom line go up, up, up!

Marketing Webinars

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.

The powerful thing about marketing webinars is that you can sell one to many, instead of selling one to one. That is a key part of webinars. This also frees up your time to do more of what you enjoy.

Imagine getting people on a business webinar and only spending your marketing – direct marketing, direct mail, or phone calls, or appointment setters – on the people who have actually raised their hand and hung in with you for a sixty minute webinar. That would be a pretty big pre-qualification.

Webinars allow you to get in front of a lot of people, having a 1-100, 1-500 or even 1-1000 ratio. The location does not matter. You can reach people all over the world! In essence, you can get people to raise their hand about your topic, and then spend your marketing effort and dollars on them.

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.

Without a doubt, marketing webinars are an incredible tool and worthy of much more attention than they get. Webinars have really transformed my business and I truly believe that they have the potential to transform yours.

Stomper Net shipped me review copies of their new Formula 5.  I was excited to see what they were teaching because I believe Stomper Net is the “real deal”.  I continue to fall back on Stomper Net’s original SEO cds that we bought 3 years ago.  And…every month I can’t wait to get my “Net Effect” magazine from Stomper.  I really mean it when I say Stomper Net is the “real deal” and they have helped us grow our business by increasing traffic and restructuring our business with solid strategies.

That’s what Formula 5 is all about…increasing the bottom line by making small changes in our business.  I share some of those ideas in this video.  But, you can discover many, many more from Formula 5 free videos.  Here they are:  http://www.KerryBeck.com/f5videos
