Internet Marketing Made Simple

Today I was in a room with John Reese, Jeff Walker, Brad Fallon, Joe Polish, Eben Pagan, John Carlton and many other ‘notable people’ in the internet marketing world. I swear I’m not saying this to simply name drop.

I’m just setting the stage for this…

They were all in learning mode. Like little kids in 3rd grade! It was almost funny, except for the very serious focus and ‘heads down’ activities.

They were listening to someone else talk. They were talking notes, they were filling out forms and they were in little groups sharing ideas and experiences. They were planning. They were developing their strategies. Like you. Like me.

My key point is that even these folks are hungry to learn more. They are looking for new systems, new opportunities and new partners. They are human with human needs. And, they are smart about building wealth and staying focused. Education is key — investing in your business is extremely smart.

Now, what they learned — and what I learned — was extremely valuable. But, it’s a topic for another day. What matters to you is this…

There are absolutely several “levels” of business evolution. It’s next to impossible to go from making $5 per day to $500 per day in less than 30 days. Sure, it can happen, but it’s rare. Extremely rare.

Here’s what’s also rare –

Too many people make $5 per day or $10 per day, or, whatever amount. But then, rather than using their knowledge and systems… they squander the opportunity to learn and grow. They stagnate. They give up or even blow up.

Why?

Well, one big reason is simple lack of access to the right information at the right time.
quite frankly, there are not many systems that show you how to legitimately make $250-500 extra per month more with 10-12 hours of extra work per month, for example.

This is a key reason why we developed the Simple Cash Blog. You can click that link and get the free information. It’s painless… Just do it.

What I want you to know is that you can save yourself a lot of time and a lot of energy simply by investing a little time and money in the Simple Cash Blog. In relation to the value, it’s basically free.

We’ve been told it could easily be a $97 per month membership. You’ll pay a fraction of that. And you might ask, “Then why the low price?” Simple! We want you on our buyer’s list and we want to forge a long term relationship. That’s Marketing 101 and we know the lifetime value of our customers (Hint: you need to know the value of your customers).

Even if you don’t have any intention of investing, do take 26 seconds to grab the some of the 100% free information we’re handing out. Then, like the gurus I was with today, start learning… and take action.

I’m going to share my thinking about desperate buyers and hungry markets in just a moment. First, I want to set the stage for you.

I have a very nice home office. It’s large and overly comfortable. I have monster-sized windows with a great view overlooking a lush green valley — at least until the snow flies. I appreciate that it’s a killer office. It was a great investment and I have to tell you that I just love it.

My brother and I were sitting in my office just a few days ago. We started talking about launching new products in new markets. We were specifically talking about giving the right people the right stuff at the right time.

We know that marketing — particularly selling — is the alignment of wants and needs to appropriate solutions. Burn that word into you mind: alignment. We know that some people would rather use the word congruence than alignment. But alignment is easier to grasp. Congruence tends to imply agreement whereas alignment is more about matching. It’s that alignment, or matching, that I want to talk about right now.

People tend to say “desperate buyers” and “hungry markets” at the same time, as if they are the same thing. The reality is that they are not the same. In fact, there are two fundamental differences that you absolutely must understand.

Desperate buyers have an immediate need. These buyers are trying to get answers right now to solve a problem that is causing them great pain. Desperate buyers will usually reach a breaking point, or they have a deadline to meet. I’ll talk more about this in a minute.

Buyers in a hungry market, on the other hand, have an immediate need plus future needs to satisfy. People in a hungry market can often delay gratification or push off pain in the short term but the wants and needs do not go away. The itch doesn’t go away.

It might sound like I am “splitting hairs” and I know that desperate buyers sound very much like people in a hungry market. In fact, some desperate buyers are just part of a hungry market — that’s true. But, there are differences that can have a profound impact on your business.

The best way to understand the difference is to provide examples. When someone is going through a divorce they are usually desperate. They are consumed by this life event and they will drink down as much information as possible. They will do anything to reduce the pain and understand how to get the problem solved. However, this pain will eventually go away — the divorce will eventually occur.

On the other hand, investors are constantly looking for new and better information; they’re hungry. They aren’t truly desperate but they always want more. Like desperate buyers, they have an itch to scratch. But, that itch never goes away and they will seek new information constantly in an effort to get the upper hand, or otherwise get an “unfair” advantage.

So, desperate buyers tend to be a bit more focused. They also tend to think more in the short term. People in a hungry market are a bit less focused (because they are less desperate) and they think and act in relation to the long term. I realize this isn’t 100% accurate but it’s mighty close.

This information is very useful. In fact, it could mean the difference between wild profitability and making $12 a month. Here’s why…

You can target desperate buyers with products and services that provide immediate benefit. Your language and your tone will help you make more money. You can more easily get into their mindset and walk in their shoes once you realize just how badly they need what you have.

If that doesn’t quite make sense, consider the following. Desperate buyers aren’t really well suited for memberships. They are looking for an immediate, short term solution.

Of course this also means that memberships are best suited for hungry markets because they want constantly updated information. In reference to my example above, you’d probably want to sell a report about getting through a divorce whereas you could set up an investment membership or newsletter. Now you know why this makes so much sense. It’s not random.

It’s this kind of thinking — and alignment – that will best satisfy your customers. This is also a good way to start thinking about your sales funnels. Desperate buyers require short sales cycles and quick, punchy results. On the other hand, in a hugnry market you can stretch out the marketing funnel and do more pre-sales. I guarantee that this kind of thoughtful alignment will put more money in your pocket.

If you’re looking for more great marketing advice, plus proven online business models that easily attract money, then I highly recommend that you read about the Simple Cash Blog. There is no better way to generate income online. You get to cut to the front of the line, with direct access to proven and tested cash systems.

A question that we frequently get asked is “How can I make money online NOW?” The problem is that it takes quite a bit of time to build a real long-term business online. It’s like the “real world” in a lot of ways: you can’t open a new store and expect to be flooded with customers on opening day.

It just doesn’t work that way.

But, you CAN make money online now and build a long-term business at the same time, if you’re smart about it and you have the right skillset. First, we need to figure out what kind of marketable skills you have. Here are some ideas…

1.) Do you have a knack for programming? You can go to eLance or Guru.com and find jobs appropriate for you.

2.) Are you a graphics designer? Start advertising your services using Google Adwords and the Warrior Forum. People need new graphics all the time.

3.) Can you write well? With just a little bit of practice and experience, you can charge $10 to $20 for a 400 to 500 word article. Start off by pricing your articles low, and then move up the chain as you get more and more testimonials and experience.

4.) Do you have a lot of connections to “important people?” Find people who are having problems or need a service, and then connect them to the people you know. Charge a royalty!

5.) Do you know how to build websites? Build websites for local businesses, or even setup simple blogs using Blogger.

6.) Does a local business need help moving inventory? Become a salesperson and sell it on eBay for them. (Become a consignment expert!)

There are a number of ways to get started and make money online now, but they *do* require a little bit of work on your part. If you want to build a long term business, though, you have the opportunity to earn between $2,000 to $6,000 per month in your part time.

John and I hosted our first public teleseminar last night about how to get traffic to membership sites and how to make money online. One of the big things we talked about was strategic internet marketing – having a STRATEGY in place for your websites.

When trying to create traffic to their websites, a lot of people fail to look at the bigger picture. You can keep each piece of your traffic system simple, but when they combine, you have an EXTREMELY deadly force.

Let me show you a traffic strategy we have in place for one of our websites. It should give you some context what we’re talking about when we say “strategic internet marketing”…

We have FreeBusinessModel.com, which is a reverse squeeze page. We deliver a high quality video on the front-end which “hooks” in our visitors and convinces them to enter their name and e-mail address to watch a second video.

After they watch our second video, they are redirected to SimpleCashBlog.com, our $27 per month membership that gives away a wealth of business models. So, we immediately have the potential to make money from the traffic that we drive to FreeBusinessModel.com.

That means we can spend more money investing in driving traffic to that funnel. So, we hire out people to write articles and create videos for us, linking to FreeBusinessModel.com, and also advertise that site.

Cool, right?

Well, that’s not even the half of it. Here’s where it gets really good…

After someone opts in to our lists from watching the free video on FreeBusinessModel.com, we then send messages to them promoting not only Simple Cash Blog, BUT…

The ability to promote FreeBusinessModel.com and make money online from it. If you’re not following, we have an affiliate program built in to FreeBusinessModel.com, which means everytime that someone sends traffic to that site with an affiliate link that they create, they make a monthly commission from Simple Cash Blog (70% of the sale, to be exact.)

So, the more people that watch the videos at FreeBusinessModel.com and opt-in, the more traffic we get going to that site.

Are you following? — IT GROWS ITSELF!

Now *that* is strategic internet marketing. It’s not complicated to setup, it’s a bunch of extremely basic “building blocks” combined together to make one seriously kick-ass system.

That system will continue to churn money for us for years. We won’t be able to stop it even if we wanted to.

So, do you “do” strategic internet marketing like us? All it takes is a good idea and a few minutes of combining a few simple systems and you could have all of the traffic and cash flowing in that you can handle.

Check out FreeBusinessModel.com and see how our system works for yourself…
