After all, up-selling is a technique employed by leading e-commerce sites to boost their sales and though you may be some light years away from them, this could be used by you effectively too. And though this is a technique,
there is not a lot different from up-selling and selling by themselves!

There are many ways you could up-sell a product, but before we get into knowing the easiest method, know that an up-sell is a product you wish to sell immediately after he has bought the first one. Needless to say, the second product or the product to be up-sold has to be related to the first product
bought by the customer.

To the point – The easiest method to up-sell is to work on the ‘checkout’ page!

What you can do with the Checkout Page?

I’m not asking you to redesign the entire webpage. Follow this process to uncover the easiest method to up-sell.

First, identify your webpage which you want to include the upsell. It could be your product page, salesletter page, your newsletter subscription page, your thank you page and so on.

Then just add an option for them to include MORE products before they ‘checkout’.

So if it’s a newsletter subscription page, ask them if they want to include a free trial offer to your other paid product before they click “Register” on your newsletter page.

If your page is a salesletter webpage, give them an option to include another of your product before they click the “Order Now” button.

Here’s another example – if your webpage is a shopping cart, you can always ‘upsell’ your prospects for them to add more quantity of the product that they’re buying.

The list goes on.

Here are some things you would like to watch out for while up-selling:

- The product you up-sell needs to be somewhat related to the product the customer bought. The closer the correlation, the better it is for you because you’ll get more sales.

- Write your up-selling ad as carefully and diligently as you would have designed your sales ad. Just the fact that the customer bought one product from you doesn’t mean he is sure to buy another!

- Up-sell but don’t push – Pushing is bad for any form of selling and the same applies in up-selling too. Inform the customer about your product and leave the choice to him. Also, bear in mind that you’re adding more value to your
customer by offering greater solutions to them in your upsell products.

The method to up-sell your product is not as tough as you would have thought it to be. Basically, if you’re not integrating any upsell in your sales funnel, you’re literally losing money.

It’ll cost you more time, effort and money to acquire a new customer compare to selling to an existing customer who already trust you and like your product.

Although the technicalities surrounding the deal make it a slightly tough nut to crack, but I can tell you that it’s worth your time to explore this powerful marketing strategy.

How are you using your blog to pull in profits right now? Chances are you’re doing what 90% of the marketers out there do and simply have a blog where you post great content and then periodically promote affiliate products or CPA offers. After all, that’s the commonly ‘prescribed’ method of making money by blogging.

While that does work, to a degree, there are more advanced methods that could be way more effective. One of these is: Leverage.

Even if you have no introduction whatsoever to leverage, you’ll find that you can use your blog as part of a plan that uses it to perfection. In fact, the only thing you need (apart from your blog, of course!) is an eBook product of your own. Without your own product you’ll find that you can carry out this plan in different ways – but it won’t be as effective.

So let’s say you have an eBook. Were you to just go about marketing the ‘normal’ way via your blog, you’d probably dedicate a post or two to it, and maybe even set up a sales page. However, you’re not going to do that. Instead, you’re going to take that eBook and extract a chapter that you feel is particularly interesting, and make it into a 10 page report or so.

Now you have two products: An eBook and a report. From that report, you can then create blog posts that talk about various topics that are covered in the report itself. Try to aim for around 5 or so. Each of these blog posts should be aimed at eventually leading the reader to the report itself, which you’re going to be giving away for FREE when your readers sign up to your list.

Basically, this means that when people read your blog posts, they’ll have the option of finding out more by simply signing up to your list and downloading the report for free. In the report, there should also be an option to find out even more by purchasing your eBook!

See how you’re now using a linear plan for marketing?

Truth be told, you could branch things out even further, and create various other blog posts from your eBook itself to promote both the report and eBook. By not promoting the eBook directly though, you’re going to be simply ‘providing value’ to your readers, and it is far less likely to come off as simply trying to palm products off onto them.

At the same time, you’ll be building your list and starting to be able to market more and more products as and when you come up with them.

Using this strategy, you should be able to pull in far more profits from your blog simply by maximizing the effectiveness of your marketing. That in itself will set you apart from the minnows of the marketing world, and let you swim with the big fish!

We’ve all seen or heard of the calamity that befell the Phillipines. The devastation caused by the typhoon and floods has left many dead with many more needing help and support. If you have not heard, bellow is a snipet of the sad news.

Please take a moment to look over my friend Ian del Carmen who is doing a flood sell to help the victims. Go to http://fireballonline.com/floodsale/ and make a purchase – the whole 100% of the profit goes to help the afflicted.

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine officials say the number of dead and missing from Tropical Storm Ketsana has climbed to at least 106 people. The storm set off the worst flooding in the Philippine capital and nearby provinces in more than 42 years.

Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said Sunday that army troops, police and civilian volunteers rescued more than 5,000 people — many of them nervously clinging to each other on roofs and on top of passenger buses after the storm struck the previous day.

The newly reported deaths included 12 villagers who died in a landslide in northern Pampanga province and nine others in Bulacan province, most of whom died by drowning. Also, an army soldier and four militiamen drowned while trying to rescue villagers in southern Laguna province.

Rescuers plucked bodies from muddy floodwaters and scrambled to save drenched survivors on rooftops Sunday after a tropical storm tore through the northern Philippines and left 75 people dead or missing in the region’s worst flooding in more than four decades.

Thank you for your help and support.

A growing trend on the Internet is receiving a great deal of scrutiny from the government. The trend involves paid or sponsored endorsements, testimonials, and more on blogs and various social media sites. The Federal Trade Commission began investigating these practices earlier this year and announced it would release new rules and guidelines to update the current legislation.

Are you a newbie and aspiring affiliate marketer looking to get your foot in the Internet marketing business arena door?

Are you looking to start up your own profitable online business?

We all aspire to greater things and always have to start somewhere – I was in your shoes just a few short months ago. As a newbie I found myself spending and spending and spending upon spending on products that promised me riches.

And at that time I knew I had to have an online presence in order to make it happen. That meant buying good keyword rich domain names as well as getting hosting accounts set up for them. Being a newbie I wasn’t any the wiser and I spent literally hundreds of dollars setting up my VREs – but it was a great lesson for me in the process. I have come a long way in such a short time and I have learnt a lot in this field of business.

I have therefore decided to take what I have learnt, what I have acquired and combine them with the services I offer to my fellow aspiring affiliate marketers. And today I have 2 special offer plus 2 more to come in the next few days.

So if you are a newbie and looking to take your first steps online then first of all I would like to offer you the opportunity to get yourself a hosting account at very very low price. Sign up today at NoreHosting.com and get hosting starting from £1.00 per month (paid yearly @ £13.80 inc vat). That equates to under $20 for a full 12 months hosting with at least 5gb of web space and 50 gb of bandwidth.

Secondly, being a member of NoreHosting.com you qualify for 15% off all my wordpress blog installation service fees. With installation fee starting from as little as $5.00 you can’t go much wrong.

With so much to gain at the same time as giving your online start up a boost why not take a look at what I have to offer and see the value for yourself. Take a look at NoreHosting.com for your web hosting needs and then head over to wordpress blog installation and claim your installation discount.

As I mentioned above there are 2 more services to come – 1) I will be launching Niche Blog For Newbies very shortly – where you can purchase a ready made blog, upload it to your hosting account, promote and profit. 2) Blogger’s Ink is a membership site for blogger that is in the final stages of setting up – here is where you will find all the content and products that you can take and use as your own.

Both of the above will provide you with content and products which will at least have a resale right, with most having either master resale right and/or PLR licenses.

Am sure you will agree that these facilities and special offers stand to give your online start up a little boost and serve as a stepping stone for all your future business endeavours.

I look forward to be interacting and working with you all and wish you all the best for the future.

Here’s to your online success,

Zulfikar.

Let’s Talk About Traffic

When you’re just getting starting in Affiliate Marketing, one of the most important things you need to learn about is traffic – specifically what it is and how to get it.

Why?

Because although it’s become somewhat of a cliche these days, the truth is, “the money is in the list” – but that means YOUR list, not the list of the people whose products you’re selling – at least not if you want to be successful.

Here’s why. As an affiliate, your job is to find people who want to buy the products you’re promoting, right? So to do that, you need to write an ad (or hire a copywriter to write it for you), and send people to a Website where they can buy the product.

BUT – there’s a serious problem with using this method. Do you see what it is?

Anywhere from 60 to 95% of the people you send to the sales page probably aren’t going to buy the first time.

1. Most people want to be certain that they’re making the right decision, so they usually need to see or hear from you between 5 to 12 times before making a buying decision.
2. If you’re paying for the ad and sending people to the seller’s Website, the ones who don’t buy disappear forever. (And neither you nor the seller will benefit.)
3. Of those who do buy, if you’re only sending them to the sales page, YOU still lose them forever because you have no way of knowing who they are.

Here’s the solution:

1. Write your ad and send prospects to a well-written squeeze page – YOUR squeeze page. (A squeeze page is a single page Website that has one purpose – to convince prospects to give you their contact information. Squeeze pages should be simple – no flash, no links, and if you use a graphic or photo, keep it simple and make sure it relates to the purpose of the page. How do you convince prospects to give you their contact information? By giving them information that is what they’re expecting to find and that’s useful to them.)

2. Offer them an incentive to give you their contact information. (This could be a free report, a free newsletter, an audio or video product – just make sure it’s related to the niche or affiliate product.)

3. After they’ve opted in to your autoresponder, send them to your affiliate sales page.

4. Follow up with them on a regular basis – mixing good information, free bonuses from time to time and additional affiliate products.

Lather, rinse, repeat. (Once you’re making money from your first affiliate product, move on to the next and then the next and the next.)

The best thing about this is that you can set most of it up on your autoresponder, so you turn it into a “system” and it runs “almost” on autopilot. (There is NO SUCH THING as a business that runs 100% on autopilot – and don’t believe anyone who tells you differently.) Any business – real business – takes work and effort. But by setting this system up this way, your autoresponder does the majority of the work, and you will only need to do simple updates and make sure you keep fresh information flowing.

Brand new hot off the press are 10 business blueprints to help any marketer, newbie or seasoned make money with multiple income streams. All 10 blueprints come with Resale or Master Resale rights with 100% profit.

I am not going to take much of your time on this one as you are going to have to make a decision to take action pronto. Only 100 licences are being offered to fast first 100 action takers to own these blueprints.

The Business Fusionology pack is up for grabs at http://bizfusionlogy.com with a price so low its a no brainer for those who want to multiply their income and take their business to the next level.

Up until now you have been promoting others products as an affiliate getting 50% to 75% commission. This is your chance not only to own 10 of the hottest brand new products for your own use to further build your business, but you have full resale rights and you get to keep 100% of the profit.

Isn’t it tome you leveled the playing field? Isn’t it time you started building a multiple level of income out of your hard work and effort? Then what are you waiting for? The 10 business fusionology blueprints are what you been looking for. Don’t wait any longer, take action now go to http://bizfusionology.com and get you pack. Get stuck in and start making money for yourself and not others – its time for you to become a guru.

To your success

Zulfikar.

P.S: The 10 business fusionology blueprints are priced at such a ridiculously low price making money with them is a no brainer.

P.P.S: To top it up if you don’t feel that the blueprints are not for you then there is a 30 day 100% money back guarantee. But believe you me when you see the quality of these hot brand new products and the potentials they will bring to your business and income, you will want to keep them

So go now and grab your pack before the 100 licenses are sold out and they raise the price up. http://bizfusionology.com

We all know that Adwords costs are skyrocketing these days just like oil prices. I personally have never been a fan of PPC but that’s because I am a novice at it, none the less it is getting harder to make money using PPC even for the seasoned marketers.

But we do not have to struggle with poor traffic and sales.

An underground 5-figure marketer has just proven that anyone can pull in consistent traffic, sales and subscribers using his step-by-step proven system.

And the wonderful thing with his system is:

1. You do NOT need much money, in fact, his methods can be used without spending any money at all.

2. You can start even if you are a newbie. It works great for experienced marketers as well.

3. You can start right away and start seeing traffic and sales in a matter of hours to days!

You have to hurry though…

Out Of The Rat Race and Into The Chips

So you’re getting lots of emails I bet.

And not that I’m psychic or anything but I’m pretty
sure they all have a common theme…

“Buy something from XYZ person.”

And there are probably screen caps with dollar amounts that make your eyes pop out and your emotions soar to Saturn just anticipating buying that mansion the new Jag and a hot tub the size of a swimming pool.

Let’s apply some logic here to see how we CAN get you in the chips and out of the rat race.

Some of you NEWBIES who aren’t used to my style or ezine, let me explain. I sometimes write colloquially on purpose. I feel it gets a point across.

This issue is written deliberately with very casual language and spelling BECAUSE I have a VERY simple message than I’m really passionate about. If you want more detailed info, see the “cheat sheets” on my blog at: http://www.marlonsnews.com

Many years ago I was in your shoes. I was buying all the information products and books I could find. Of course, at the time, that wasn’t many because the Internet didn’t exist.

I had Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples, the one with the red and white cover.

I had How to Write a Good Advertisement by Vic Schwab (the
ugly blue and black cover one).

And I had a whole lot of dinky little reports I bought from hokey ad sheets that made the rounds back then.

One day I spotted this ad by a guy out of New York named H. K. Simon “How to Get Out Of The Rate Race And Into The Chips.” Now, coming from Oklahoma where they raise pigs and cows, I wasn’t quite sure why anyone would WANT “cow chips.”

But I bought the book anyways since I didn’t have many books to choose from or buy.

So this dude H.K. Simon put together info products and sold him. It was the same kinda thing Jerry Buchanan, the father of the modern day info product business (or arguably so), recommended people do.

Actually, Jerry Buchanan once told me R.A. Torrey was the Father of the modern day info product business. But not many people know ’bout R.A.Torrey. I got some of his old products and sales letters round here but that goes WAAAAY old school.

My mentor Lew Williams knew one of the proteges of R.A. Torrey and worked with him back in the day. Back then, they’d test 300 pieces of direct mail ’cause 2,000 was too expensive.

Anyway, I read this thin book by H.K. Simon and it told how he put together a little booklet about getting freebie ads on radio stations called “per inquiry” where you could sell your products without paying money upfront.

And he sold that report. In came a bundle of bucks he stuck in his bank account. Sounded good to me.

Twas a lot better than working at the Dairy Queen or selling shoes.

I thought I’d share couple old school ideas with you about how you can do a little better and make a little more online and line your own pockets with bills instead of only someone elses.

These days everyone wants to reach into your pocket and take some bills out.

And you got bills showin’ up in the mail. But not the kind you can put IN your bank. The kind that take OUT of your bank.

I wanna turn the tables on that for ya.

Now listen up closely ’cause I’m goin’ “old school” here on ya.

“The secret of stuffing your pockets with bills is sellin’ stuff to others.”

Now buyin’ info products that teach you HOW to do that is all good and everything. I spend $35,000 a year and am happy to do so.

But here’s the thing:

You gotta SELL more than you BUY!

And I talk to a lotta folks who ain’t figured that one out yet. They are buyin’, buyin’, buyin’ but there ain’t no sellin’ goin’ on.

Here is how you turn the tables:

Step one: Find folks who are buyin’ today in this economy

You want people who are STILL spending money.

Look at the forums. See what people are talking about. See if
they are buyin’ or not.

Step two: Find out WHAT they’re buyin’ and where they’re goin’
to buy it.

What blogs, web sites and forums do they trounce around on?

Step three: See if you can buy ads there.

Step four: Create a product for ‘em in under one week.

Step five: Create a sales letter to SELL the product in under one week.

Step six: Go hustle it

How do you hustle it?

Man, you get creative. This is old school thinkin’ here.

You know, you need bills in your pocket, you just FIND a way. You find out who has a list and will SELL your product to THEIR list.

How?

I dunno. You FIND a way. You pick up the phone. You tweet. You email. You make friends. You participate in forums.

Now see, what you gotta realize is you got your tables turned round all WRONG.

That’s right. I said your TABLES are all turned around WRONG.

Cause you are in someone else’s pond and YOU are the one THEY’RE
sellin’ to, sellin’ to and sellin’ to some MORE!

Which is all fine and good IF you’re turnin’ around and usin’ what you learned to sell MORE to others.

See, you got your IN BUCKET and your OUT BUCKET.

And if that in bucket got less in it than the OUT bucket, the bank account goes DOWN, the significant other, spouse or kids complain ’cause they can’t buy stuff, the car company gets upset cause you didn’t pay them money….and so forth.

This ain’t new school.

This is old school.

You find out what people buy.

You find out who they are.

You find out where they are.

And you make some stuff they wanna buy.

And you figure out how you sell it to ‘em.

You just figure it out.

How?

I dunno.

You figure it out.

Yout try some stuff.

Then you try some more stuff.

Some of my folks in my family here on my list…they been buyin’ and buyin’ and buyin’ for YEARS and there ain’t no product creatin’ and product sellin’ goin’ on.

Lemme tell you something.

That’s agin EVERYTHANG I believe in…ever THANG I teach.

Ain’t nothin’ right bout THAT.

I’m talkin’ old school here. I’m not talkin’ new school. I’m sayin’ you do what you gotta do to get money in the door. And you spend LESS than that.

Not more.

You don’t spend more.

You spend less.

Some of you write me and say “Marlon, I ain’t makin’ money online.
How come?”

And I say “Dude, you got to go OLD SCHOOL man.” You got to find
people BUYIN’ stuff. Then create stuff for em that they WANT. Then you gotta SELL it to ‘em.

And the reason you ain’t got money is you been buyin’ but NOT creatin’ and sellin’.

I did NOT say create perfectly.

I did NOT say sell with the 1 click upsell, forced continuity, triple bypass SPILLOVER.

I said just sell dangit.

Just sell it.

You can add on the magical whiz bang upsell, downsell, insell, outsell, forced this and that….AFTER you got money in the door. You’re lining your pockets and stacking greens in your bank account.

My friend, you make bank by SELLIN’ stuff more than buyin’.

See, now you knew this fer you read this, right? You know the truth about this. And you know you know that you know. And now all I’m sayin’ is who you gonna listen to?

Who you gonna put your faith and trust in?

Someone reachin’ in your pockets all the time but not helpin’ you line em?

It’s your choice.

Now, I’m ALL FOR selling. Don’t get me wrong. Do NOT learn selling
from people who can’t sell.

And I’m all FOR buying info products and learning.

I’m saying if you’re learning and buying and learning and buying and never creating and selling, you got your tables wrong and you need to turn things round.

Get off your buts, get off your assets, create some products and some sales letters, sales videos, sales something or the other and go other there and get someone to give you money.

This isn’t new school folks.

It’s old school.

You make bank by sellin’ to people who are buyin’.

End of sermon.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give when it comes to not creating their own products to sell. I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products. You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything! Why try to create a product on every topic imaginable in your market when you can earn just as much money by simply promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.
