You coming to the big event ? I haven"t attended many events in my online career so far, but I"m not going to miss this one. DA is the #1 income stream in PIPS and I want to help all of our members achieve even bigger success with it in the months and years ahead. So if you can make it to the event, let"s connect while we"re there in Vegas together. It will be blast, and it will change your business forever... By the way, I"ve noticed something... ever since I committed to coming to this event, my business started growing even faster. I"m pretty sure it"s related to the quote which states: "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too." Making a commitment actually causes external forces to start chang...

There are two ways to start a business. Method #1 is the method chosen by nearly all online marketers, and it goes like this: You have a great idea. A terrific idea. The idea of the century. Or just a good idea. In any case, you think about it. You do some research. You talk to your friends and see what they think. And then you go for it. You execute the idea, make the product or service, and wait for people to buy. Except that they don’t. No, it’s not your marketing – your marketing is fine. No one is buying because you are just one more bit of noise in a very noisy world. You’re just one more person trying to sell something. And they don’t have time for you. It’s nothing personal. It’s reality. Then there is method #2: You have a great idea. You do some research, talk to your friends and so forth. You decide to go for it. But you don’t start with making the product or service. Instead you focus on finding the audience and building a list...

If you have the same offer with the same amount of traffic but you double conversions, then you’ve just doubled your sales and profits, too. Here are 3 methods to do just that. 1: What’s in a Name? Everything You pour your heart and soul into a blogpost, article – even an entire book – and nothing happens. No one reads it. No one comments. No one shares it on social media. No one buys your book. Yet the content is excellent, it’s well-written and it’s entertaining. People SHOULD be reading it. So how do you fix it? 9 times out of 10 it’s as simple as changing the title. That’s right – relaunch with another title and see if you don’t do a whole lot better. I know of one fellow (retired now) who spent his career finding under-appreciated books, buying the rights and retitling and rereleasing them. He made a fortune doing this before the Internet blew up. So go back and find your content that didn’t do as well as it should. ...

How many people sitting in coach on an airplane wish they were in first class? Odds are, most if not all of them. First class flyers get fancy lounges in the airport, preferential boarding, comfortable and roomy seats, their own special first class flight attendants, real food and drinks, blankets, pillows... just about whatever they want within reason. The first time I flew first class, it was on a complimentary upgrade for having made me miss my connection due to an airline delay. (Those were the days when airlines thought of you as a valued customer instead of cattle.) I was shocked at how well they treated the first class passengers, even bringing hot moist towels so we could wash our hands, free drinks, completely edible food, a soft pillow... I never wanted the flight to end. And I was hooked, too. Who wants to go back to coach after flying first class? Not me! Which makes me think – what if we offered our best customers a complimentary upgrade? Think of it this way: You...

Well over a decade ago I bought and devoured an expensive course called “Hypnotic Writing” from Joe Vitale. If I remember correctly, it cost $1,000 and arrived in a heavy box with tons of CD’s and two thick manuals. And it was perhaps one of the best investments I ever made in learning not just good, but great copywriting that converts like crazy. This morning I was cleaning out some old files, and ran across my handwritten notes from the course. In the notes I discovered a list of “The 7 Secret Principles of Hypnotic Writing.” They still stand the test of time today, so I thought I would share them with you here. Please keep in mind, these aren’t so much a primer as a list of clues as to what Vitale’s “Hypnotic Writing” is. But from these clues you can discern enough valuable information to almost instantly improve your own writing, whether it’s blog posts, sales letters, emails or anything else. 1: Make it Personal Hypnotic w...

Suppose you could give away free access to a course to anyone and everyone. And further suppose that by giving away the course, you could make $10,000 a month. Interested? Here’s how one guy (we’ll call him Jim) is doing exactly that: Jim created a large, comprehensive course aimed at newbies who want to start an online business. Mind you, he didn’t create it from scratch. Rather, he took the best PLR he could find and repurposed it into a massive course that teaches people all of the main methods of online marketing, such as PPC, affiliate marketing, list building, flipping websites, Amazon, selling software, creating info products, blogging and so forth. In the course, he includes the basics of each method and encourages his students to choose a method and get busy building their business. Then for each method, he promotes an affiliate link for the ‘best’ in-depth course in each category. Now pay attention to this next bit – he only promotes recurri...

If you"re an experienced online marketer, you may never have considered working with brick and mortar type businesses, but after reading this you might rethink your position. First, it’s great money. Second, it’s great money FAST. Third, you don’t actually need to do any of the work yourself, since you can outsource everything. The hard part? Getting clients. At least, it tends to be hard for most marketers trying to run a marketing business for offline clients. But I’m going to show you how to get all the clients you want, using three easy techniques. All three of the techniques center on one thing – offering a FREE 20 minute consultation about why their website isn’t getting them enough customers, and how to fix it. Think about it – how many business want more customers? Nearly all of them. How many businesses would like those customers to find them on the internet and then walk in the door, ready to buy? Nearly all of them. And how many busin...

None of these take much time, but any one of them can add significant sales to your bottom line. Or try all six, and see your sales explode. Your Prospects Are Afraid... Provide your real contact information, including name, company name, snail mail address (physical is better than P.O.) and phone number. Why? Because your prospects are afraid you are not who you say you are. On your ‘about me’ page, provide all of this info again, along with photos of you, any employees you have and maybe even your location. Make it super easy to trust you and you’ll get more sales. Elevate Your Prospects’ Status to Make More Sales People want to prove they are better than others and have people look up to them. This isn’t bad, it’s just human nature. And you can use this tidbit of knowledge to make more sales, too. Play up to this tendency to feel more important. Show prospects how buying your product will raise their status among peers, friends, family, etc. Show t...

Manny Khoshbin arrived in the U.S. at age 14 when his family fled civil unrest in Iran. They were penniless and lived in a station wagon for weeks before finally affording an apartment. Manny got his first job at Kmart, stocking shelves for $3.15 an hour. Fast forward to today and he’s a multi-millionaire. His advice? Have BIG Goals. “Average goal-setting techniques create average results, Khoshbinn warns. He says you need to be more aggressive in charting exactly where you want to be in 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 years. “Set goals you can 100 percent commit to each year, and then stick to them.” Make a Plan. “You can’t drive from point A to B if you can’t see where you’re going,” Khoshbin says. So plan every step of the journey to achieving each one of your 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 year goals. Learn from the Best. To get to the top, you must become really good at what you do.

There are entire courses on how to get into the “New and Noteworthy” section of iTunes, but you don’t need them. Instead, do this: If you’re about to put your first podcast on iTunes, don’t. Wait until you have at least 3 episodes recorded (5 is better) and THEN put them in iTunes. This way when people listen to one of your podcasts, they can go back and listen or download more of them. This will give you a better shot at ranking in iTunes and getting more listeners and subscribers. Next, release 4-5 episodes every week for two months. Get your list members and friends to subscribe, listen, rate and review. This will almost certainly get you into the “New and Noteworthy” section of iTunes, gaining you new listeners and subscribers for as long as you remain there.

I received a marketing email telling me how GREAT a new video making product is, because it works in conjunction with a piece of software almost everyone already has. Cool! So I go to check it out, and guess what? They NEVER show you what the videos you’ll be making will look like. Not ONE single example! Worse still, the video they use to sell the video maker is a regular talking head type of video, NOT the kind you’re supposed to be able to make with this software. What thinking person will take this offer seriously? It’s like someone trying to sell you their artwork without letting you SEE the artwork. If you’re selling software, and especially video creation software, let people see what it can do, rather than just telling them. Otherwise, who’s going to believe you?

Do you have a list? Or do you have access to a list? (Think JV with a list owner)... If so, you have the potential to make money fast. Let"s explore some possibilities... I received an email the other day from a mate who is changing niches. Apparently he is moving from IM to the coaching niche. And as he’s transitioning over, he’s making one last offer to his IM list: For six weeks, he will answer any questions you have about IM in the areas he knows best. Not only will he answer every question within 24 hours – he will also point you to a great resource that explains his answer in detail. For this, he is charging about $300. Think about it – he knows his niche. He knows how to do online marketing. So answering questions is pretty simple for him, I’m sure. But he’s also pointing to a resource for every answer he gives. Frankly, as long as you are somewhat familiar with your niche and good at using Google, you can do this, too. Receive the money, stay ...

Take a look at your monthly subscriptions – software, autoresponders, membership sites – and then decide to make them pay for themselves. Sign up as an affiliate for each one, post a review for each on your website along with your affiliate link, and then add a resources link on your main page. No, you won’t make a fortune this way, but you will likely make enough to more than cover all of these monthly expenses. And with some of the expensive upgrades available on subscriptions, you might also find yourself making some good money along the way, too. In fact, your profits can be increased further if you optimize your reviews for Google, and point some good quality backlinks to them. Then you can start picking up free traffic to your reviews whenever people search for the product you"ve reviewed in Google and other search engines. Done well, you can have an entire side business built on reviewing products and services you are using yourself.

If you’re trying to contact business and they’re ignoring your emails, here’s what you do. Send them the “magic” email. I didn’t name this. In fact, you can find several good articles about the magic email online. And no, it’s not really magic. But in many cases it does indeed get a person to talk to you and even invite you for a meeting. It works like this: You’ve sent out one or more emails to your leads. Some have answered, some have not. Some of those who initially answered are now ignoring you. For all those who are not communicating, send them this email: “Since I have not heard from you on this, I have to assume your priorities have changed.” You can add to this or send it as is. I’m told (I haven’t tried this myself) that your response rate will typically be 50% or more, which is really, really good. Why does it work? Because you don’t sound needy. Heck, you don’t sound like you need them at all....

Here’s a quick idea to make some extra income on Etsy. If you don’t yet have an Etsy seller’s account, sign up for one. Then buy books with ‘plates’ – those prints that look especially good. You’ll find them for all sorts of things, but what you’re looking for is pictures people would want to hang on their wall. For example, I found a seller who buys certain art books from the 80’s and 90’s and cuts out the pictures. These pictures are high quality and look fabulous. Then he mats them, frames them and sells them. You could just mat them if you don’t want to hassle with the framing, but there are more buyers for framed pictures that are ready to hang on the wall. One book might yield you a dozen or even 50 pictures that you can then mat and sell. And since you can buy good used books through Amazon at cheap prices, your costs are very low. I don’t want to create direct competition for the guy who is successfully do...

Because you’re not doing what it takes to earn that kind of money. Anyone who earns 5 figures a month (or 6 figures, for that matter) decided to do something that could potentially earn that much money. For example, you’re not going to earn tons of money by doing marketing for local businesses yourself. You just don’t have the time to go get the new business AND fulfill all the things they need. But if you outsource all of the actual work, then you can focus just on getting new clients. Or better still, you can hire someone to get the new clients as well, and simply spend your time running the business. Now that is a way to make 5 or 6 figures a month. Whatever you’re doing now, or considering doing, ask yourself if it has the potential to make the kind of money you want. If you are truly serious about earning five or six figures every month online and you don"t want to do all the work to build the business yourself, find a top-tier affiliate program such as Digi...

You’ve heard of guest posting. But what about guest emailing? Here’s how to do it: Find a list owner to work with Ask to write an email for their list Offer a terrific lead magnet related to the topic Use a 1-click opt-in to get the subscribers So what’s the incentive to the list owner to let you do this? Maybe that they’re sick of writing emails, but they want to keep emailing so their list doesn’t forget them. Or maybe you do a swap and let them send an email to your list. Try it – you could add several hundred subscribers with the right email to the right list.

So, you"ve decided to start a home based business. Congratulations, and welcome to the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship. While there is a lot to learn, your effort will be worth it. The thrill of growing your business, the freedom and flexibility to set your own hours, and the possibilities of ever-increasing financial rewards are all wonderful reasons to start a home based business. Now that you"ve decided to start your business, you might be wondering "How can I get it off to the strongest possible start?" These 7 tips will help: 1) Set up a separate working space in your home. It doesn"t matter if this is a small bedroom, one part of the garage, or a corner of the living room. I used to work out of my closet. The important thing is to have some space that you can designate as your working area. This will give you the space and room you need to craft your dream. 2) Stock your working space with materials. This sounds basic, perhaps, but one underlying ele...

One of the attractions of working at home is the vision of freedom it invokes -- no time clock, no time sheets, and no one to account to for how you spend your time. Yes, it is an attractive proposition, but like so many attractive propositions there is a heavy downside -- you are likely wasting a lot of time. I used to loathe making a daily schedule for my work and have always dismissed it as a waste of time -- that is until my home business really took off and I realized there simply wasn"t enough hours in the day to accomplish all my goals if I didn"t have a solid daily plan. I now have my own spread sheet and agenda for the day and I have improved my productivity and reduced my stress immeasurably. If you don"t think you need a schedule for your home business then think again -- and read on. After a spate of relatively unproductive days when my "To Do" list seemed to grow exponentially every time I looked at it I knew something had to change. Granted I was ...
