It can be made very simple to make money on the internet for anyone.
Here’s what making money as an internet marketer should boil down to: Making sales from products bought by people to whom you sent an email.
Why is it that so many aspiring marketers are failing with their internet businesses and websites?
There are several reasons for this and all of them are simple marketing methods every online business person should be doing.
One very big reason for a lot of failing online businesses is the way sites are being designed. Amateur copywriters and newbies don’t achieve very good conversions with the traffic that is hitting their sites.These site owners are attempting to elicit direct sales from product recommendations, banners displayed, and reviews.
First of all, the banners are taking up precious space on your web page that could be put to better use. Besides, most people have become banner-blind by now.
Secondly, you need to fight this banner-blindness by changing the ads on your sites every so often to see what is converting better, or at least getting more clicks.
Another reason for a lot of failed websites is the lack of a name capture mechanism used for list building purposes.If your sites are getting traffic but people are banner blind, don’t you think that you should be building your list? instead you are just hoping to make sales from the same old banner?
If you use the traffic to your sites to build your list and make sales at the same time, you can and will make money from those sites. You can do both, but your highest converting offers won’t come from first-time visitors who come to your site and see some banners.
Your highest converting traffic will come from the emails you send to the subscriber list you built.The prospects on your list who take your product emails and product recommendations seriously will trust you. They are more likely to buy from your recommendation than a first-time visitor whose trust you haven’t earned yet.
I have seen this time and time again when some people on marketing forums tell me that their product isn’t selling for them and many of them had yet to make one sale on it.
I would take a look at their sales page see that is wasn’t all that good. Then I’d ask them how they ae promoting their products. They invariably tell me that they use forum links and traffic exchanges for site promotion.
So I encourage these people to create a simple squeeze page and a newsletter with 7 - 8 emails. These should emphasize the value of obtaining the product, and that the sales always start coming in once they divert their attention to list building instead of direct sales.
If you’re not building a list, that is one of the biggest internet marketing mistakes you could be making and I suggest that you change your focus a little to see how powerful this change in attitude will be for you.
When you see how well this works, you should work to automate you list building so that you can have your very own automated profit system.
