Are you losing sales and driving prospects and customers away because of a dull and boring website?

Today profit producing websites need to have the following critical elements: action generating copy, a compelling offer, an attractive, useful & wanted product and an effective sales page.

Guru’s will tell you that plain page sites will work for you… what they fail to explain is that with the myriad of competition in the online market a website that is both effective, useable, well laid out and eye-catching is also an important factor… website attractiveness allows your marketing message to get through by capturing the interest of your visitor graphically, and then presenting them with your offer (ever wonder why the big boys tell you not to use headers, yet they themselves use well-designed and graphical sites to sell their own products?).

Grab Your Visitors Attention With A Complete, Power-Packed, Professionally-Designed Set Of Website Templates Created Specifically For Marketers

>>Graphics With Impact Premium Power Templates Package<<

A good first impression is CRITICAL to branding you, your product and your offer and making your customers trust you enough to give you their money — using an amateurish or slipshod image can DESTROY rather than build your credibility.

When you are working hard to build your business, position your products and paying a lot for your traffic and leads, you want to ensure that you’re landing pages and sales letters are getting the best conversion rates possible.

The survival of your business or offer depends on it.

This is why when putting together a marketing website it requires a designer who not only understands your target market, but one who has a proven track record, and can provide graphics that are unique, professional, are usable by your visitors and assists you in delivering your marketing message.

Give your website the professional look and credibility it needs to attract prospects, deliver your message, move them to action and close the sale.

I was reading a rant by another blogger who was annoyed by those who were copying his content into their websites without giving him the proper accreditation. He was looking for a solution to his problem, something different than Copyscape… and boy, did he find it!

There’s a great new FREE tool called Tynt Tracer (currently in expanded beta) that covertly tracks those who copy even just a little of your content… and adds YOUR link to the copied material!

Seriously… This Is The Coolest Thing!!

Check out this short demo video:

Let me know if you find this as awesome as I do!

I can’t be the ONLY marketer who runs into this situation.

I run about 30 extremely active websites. I have another 50 or so that run with minimal supervision… and another bunch in development at any given moment.

Now this issue doesn’t crop up too often, but it happens enough that I took great pains to avoid the problem, yet here it is again.

EMAIL IS NOT A RELIABLE FORM OF COMMUNICATION!

I just got a message from someone letting me know that THEY had received a HELP DESK TICKET because the person didn’t get a reply from an email they had sent to me – and this person (for whatever reason) decided to complain to the person who referred my services.

I HAVE A SUPPORT DESK!

If I don’t receive an email, there can be many reasons for it…

Perhaps your email was deleted as SPAM by some vigilant filter.

Maybe it got lost in the hundreds of garbage emails I get every single day and it was simply overlooked.

Perhaps I am not at my main computer for a few days due to travel, and have not yet seen it.

Or a simple misspelling of an email address sent it off to Siberia.

Whatever.

Social networks like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are NOT a good way to reach me either. I do not monitor these for important business communications – I use them for social networking and entertainment, and do not have time to spend more than a few hours a week tending to these accounts.

I set up my Support Desk because it is FAR more reliable than email. Submitting a ticket, you can’t misspell my email address, or get lost in a SPAM filter or junk folder. If I am away from my main computer for a few days, I check my Support Desk regularly to make sure anyone who needs me gets an answer right away.

Here’s my lesson for today:

If you have an important question, concern or request that you need an answer for immediately, USE MY SUPPORT DESK.

Imagine waking up one morning to discover everything you’ve worked hard for is gone. Your money, your business, your contacts… everything! You are suddenly at the bottom, and have to start all over again – with only 30-days of personal resources at your disposal…

What would you do?

A few months ago I met Heather Ann Havenwood through Tony Blake. She was in this exact, unenviable position: she had lost pretty much everything — her business, her home, her money — she had to file bankruptcy, and was living hand-to-mouth…

She was very frustrated, and close to giving up…

Maybe you know someone that’s going through the same thing.

Maybe it’s you!

Heather got lucky.

Connecting with Tony Blake – a real expert and incredible business mind – he helped her by brainstorming ideas with her, shared some of his proven formulas that were not particularly hard to do, easy plans to help her rebuild her business and generate some much needed cash fast.

Then she did what most people fail to do – she got to work on those ideas, and things began to turn around for her.

>> 30 Day Restart Plan <<

Heather has asked a dozen successful, experienced entrepreneurs (many who you know already) that “bottom line”, urgent question that everyone wants to know:

What would YOU do if you had to start from scratch – and succeed! – in just 30 days?

These experts are going to tell you, step-by-step, exactly that:

David Lakhani – Perry Belcher – Alex Mandossian – Mike Filsaime
Tony Blake – Steven Cates – Lisa Preston (that’s me!) – Andy Duncan
Rick Raddatz – Mark Cunningham – Diane Conklin

All of them have one thing in common: They started from scratch (just like you) and have built their companies into highly successful businesses. With no more than the basics: A phone, computer, little (if any) cash… They started with no list, no clients and no experience.

Sound familiar?

They have another thing thing in common: Each of  these entrepreneurs are willing to truly give you the tools they themselves used to help you get started!

>> 30 Day Restart Plan <<

It’s going to be a 3 days of powerful information, strategies and tactics designed to show you how to build (or rebuild) your business, fortunes and life…

If you are serious about building your business and are ready to get started check it out… this could finally be your ticket to real business success!

The series starts on Tuesday morning, but don’t worry if you can’t attend every session — each one will be recorded, and you’ll get access to the MP3’s. I’ll be giving my presentation on Thursday, March 12 at 10am Pacific | 12pm Central | 1pm Eastern.

Don’t waste another day wondering what you should do… check out the 30 Day Restart Plan now!

When he put together his Birthday Blowout, I was shocked by his generosity. After all, many of those products he was giving away free  are sold for excellent money every day!

When he decided to follow up with yet another mind-blowing offer, I knew he was nuts. For sure.

If you’ve not taken a look yet, go and see it now: Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM
(I’ll wait…)

Back? Good.

Stunned, aren’t you? (grin)

I remember when he began putting it together, he had a fantastic package all put together and then he just… kept ADDING MORE. AND MORE.

AND MORE!

Sincerely, it’s almost ridiculous how much is included.

If you have ANY desire to make some serious cash in 2009 – scratch that… if you want to start making real income within the next 3 months, you HAVE to get this.

And for this price? Man, you’d have to be crazy NOT to take it and run!

The spaces are filling up, and I KNOW Tony would prefer that true Blakers were the ones who benefit, but if you snooze, you lose! There are only a total of 51 spots available…

Go right now and check out the sales page, see all he has included. You’ll be blown away, I promise!

Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM

***I’ll let you in on a little secret…***

Tony and I have been business partners and very close friends for over a year, and he just spent two weeks with me here in Canada to put some projects together and pack this offer full of value. I can personally vouch for the fact that you will be completely astonished by everything you’ll get – including “unadvertised” stuff… he just never stops!!

Don’t waste a single moment more…

Make 2009 an explosive year for you and your business… Tony can truly help you do it.

Have a wonderful New Year!

Absolutely Nuts Offer :: ICGM

Tony Blake is truly nuts.

I should know. I spend all my time with him!! (LOL!)

Right now he is giving away 51 gifts to give you.. absolutely FREE…

You see, he’s celebrating his 51st birthday (late, I might add!) and decided to reward you with a whole pile of great gifts I know you’ll enjoy, learn, use and profit from… and these aren’t junk gifts either…

Unfortunately the birthday celebration almost didn’t happen! In fact, you should have gotten the gifts over 4 weeks ago, but life is often funny and things get in the way…

But not today!

Right now I want you to visit the following website. When you get there, you’ll find a video where Tony explains how you can get your hands on the 51 gifts he wants to give you…

Plus he’s also going to show you how you can continue to get weekly gifts from him all year round! He’s gone absolutely nuts putting this together for you… and my pain is your gain (trust me, I personally put a lot of work into this puppy!) and you’re going to like what he’s put together…

Okay, get ready to grab your gifts… here’s the link:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

He’s never done anything like this before and may never do this again (trust me on this), so don’t miss out on his incredible giveaway…

Oh, and when you get your gifts you’ll also find out about something very rare that he’s doing designed to push you forward in your marketing career and make a big difference in 2009…

So, don’t delay… here’s the link again:

Tony Blake’s Absolutely Nuts Birthday Giveaway!

Grabbing these gifts is like robbing Ft. Knox… there’s tons of gold in what he’s put together for you…

I don’t know how long he’ll have the doors to this celebration open so I wouldn’t delay… I don’t want you to miss out…

Video squeeze pages (when done right) can be one of the most powerful, effective ways to build a list in a very short time.

Not sure what a “squeeze page” is? A squeeze page is another word for “landing page”, and applies to pages designed to collect a visitor’s name and email while providing something enticing in return.

Things like ebooks and ecourses have been popular squeeze page gift items, and to some extent they still work – depending on the perceived value of the item. I personally still use these types of offers on my niche squeeze pages all the time.

But the bar continues to rise when it comes to collecting names on squeeze pages. The constant assault of spam that hits everyone’s inboxes make people reluctant to sign up for anything online. As marketers continue to pile on the free stuff (especially in the internet marketing niche) to entice people to fill out their forms, we’re all faced with something referred to as “moving the free line.”

This refers to coming up with increasingly bigger and better, more valuable items to give away if you want your visitors to give up their email on a traditional squeeze page.

Video squeeze pages can actually capture visitor information without giving anything away for free!

A video squeeze page can play on your visitors’ natural curiosity. Pique their interest… and provide the solution they crave, which is revealed in part 2 of your video on the “other side” – without any additional “freebies” required!

Video squeeze pages do take a bit more work than the traditional squeeze pages we’re so familiar with. Fortunately, the tools to make videos are built right into modern computers.

Graphic designers have begun to include attractive video pages in standard sizes as a “must” in their template packages… including my own! You can see the latest offering here: Graphics With Impact 2008 Blowout Package

It has never been easier to put video on your websites!

Focus on the structure for your video, where the answer to your visitors’ compelling problem  is revealed in a second video, which is on a page visitors reach only after they’ve opted in to your list.

Leave your visitors eager to see what happens next and you’ll see a marked increase in your conversion rate, higher than you ever could by simply giving away an ebook.

Rosalind Gardner is one of the few who I’ve followed when it comes to consistent sales in the affiliate marketing arena. I just saw this video, which is an awesome help to anyone who needs to bypass an ugly or badly written sales page that uses Clickbank:

Bypass Clickbank Sales Page

Important: An important point that wasn’t mentioned in the video is that this method does NOT override existing affiliate cookies. One way to make sure you get credit for sales generated this way would be to pop a page to either the first product or a relevant Clickbank product in the background when someone lands on your page.

This method will definitely come in handy for sites with poor landing pages that leak commissions – for example, sales pages that also have Adsense ads.

Confessions Of A Lazy Super Affiliate

Chris Rempel, author of “Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate”, reveals 5 of his most effective traffic strategies and niche-targeting tactics in full detail: CLICK HERE!

———————————————

As horrible as it may sound – they’ve unknowingly sent the hopeful entrepreneur down a path of false expectations, poor results and eventually – failure. In fact, the myth of “do what you love and the money will follow” has been responsible for more failure than likely any other influence – perhaps even more so than laziness or a lack of perseverance.

Because the simple truth of the matter is that the only way you’re going to make real money on the net is if your business is based around two crucial things:

1) Large Demand

2) Buyers

In other words – you aren’t going to get rich selling a $15 ebook about growing square watermelons – even though that might be a great passion of yours.

The demand just isn’t there. Maybe there’s a few searches a day on Google for the topic, and perhaps there’s some interest in the online “gardening enthusiast” communities – but you’d be hard-pressed to make even a few hundred dollars a month from ebook sales.

Similarly, you also aren’t going to have a particularly easy time getting rich by building websites about some seemingly “popular” topics like humor, jokes, funny pictures and so on. And while there are a few ways to “monetize” your site (with AdSense, CPA Offers, CPM Banners, etc.), it takes literally millions of website visitors to make even just a few thousand dollars in markets like that.

The demand is huge – but the visitor value is extremely low…

Instead, if you want to make it big online – pulling down an impressive six-figure income – you need to tap into markets with tons of demand, where the majority of the visitors are valuable.

You need to capture tons of traffic that wants to buy something. If you take this approach, you’d practically have to hijack your own order links (or affiliate links) not to make a sizeable income.

In fact – did you know that some affiliates make several thousand dollars daily just by promoting a single product in hot markets? (Just imagine what the merchant is making…)

In some markets there’s actually so much demand that the vendors are quite literally selling over a thousand units – or more – per day. Digital products, with practically zero overhead/delivery cost.

But it all comes back to tapping into valuable demand. In most cases, it takes no extra effort or “skill” to market to a valuable market than it does to struggle along with something you’re passionate about.

These two factors – demand and buying traffic – are what separate the “wannabe” marketers from the millionaires. Because there’s no real secret – you just need to sell what thousands of people are already buying.

The ball is now officially in your court. Are you tapping into markets with massive, valuable demand?

Or are you struggling to simply make a few dollars occasionally with a business that’s based on your own passionate interests?

Have you ever gotten a phone call in the middle of the night? You immediately pray it’s a wrong number, because nothing good can come from a call at 4:00 am…

Well, I got one of those calls, and I can’t begin to express the sick feeling of horror I had as I listened to my sister on the other end – her terror as she raced home not knowing what she’d find when she got there…

You can read all about it HERE.

Take the time to look through the pictures, too – and imagine if this was your home, your children…

Once you’ve had a chance to check it out, order the package! There are dozens of current products in the massive package that’s there, PLR and MRR all over the place… and some big name marketers have added a lot of value with exclusive products and more!!

I’m not going to waste any more of your time reading this post… Just hurry over right now and take a look – I’m sure you’ll love it!

In recent months, there has been a notable increase in marketers talking about “moving the free line”, and generally instructing new marketers to give away valuable content to build their lists, in order to create customers in the future.

On the surface, there seemed to be some value in this advice. After all, there are giveaways popping up daily, free reports everywhere… all with the intention of obtaining that all-important email address on a double opt-in form.

I decided to test this theory. (This is a simplified version)

I am creating a product for a niche I have been active in for some time. (Sorry, I am not going to reveal the niche; suffice it to say that it’s as competitive as the IM niche). The product I am developing contains useful software, a detailed info product on pdf, an audio version of the info product and a video showing how to use the software along with the info product.

I will create one other product of similar value and structure, and two reports with additional, related advice and tips.

I’ll purchase two very similar domain names, created two websites. One website to give away the product for free, just for opting in to my list.

The other will be a basic sales page using similar language, but charging $67 for the product. Upon successful payment, the customer will be directed to the download page which includes an opt-in form for the same newsletter.

I will employ the exact same marketing strategies to each site. I’ll drive traffic, use PPC, post in related forums, create articles – all the usual things.

The opt-in will enroll each subscriber in to a seven part email series as follows:

1. (immediate delivery) A thank you for downloading the product, along with their download link in case they weren’t redirected after payment/signup.
2. (two days later) A repeat of the benefits of the product, and encouragement to take action with it. I’ll also include a link to download one of the two reports I am creating as an additional bonus.
3. (three days later) Pure content, highly related to the product and includes several valuable resources for more information.
4. (three days later) Again, pure, actionable content.
5. (three days later) Give away the second bonus report. This bonus report is a lead-in to the second product, and in fact has links inside taking them to the product sales page.
6. (three days later) Again content, leaving off with a teaser at the end about how a specific problem talked about would be solved in the next email and to watch for it.
7. (sent out two days later) Purely promotional, sending subscribers to the sales page for my second product. This product will be priced at $47.

Can you predict what my results will be?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!!
