If you don't know how to set up a website you will need to...
Step 2. B
Start sending your prospects useful information. Build a relationship.
First thing you will need to do at the same time you set up your website or lead capture page is to set up an
account with an autoresponder service. I use AWeber, email autoresponders revolutionised marketing by creating an
automated selling machine that went to work the very minute a prospect added themselves to your list.
The reason you need to set up an account for your autoresponder is because within this account you will set up
your lead capture form. This form is made from java or html code that you simply cut and paste into your
website.
If you don't know how to set up an autoresponder account you will need to...
Step 3.
Create emails to add to your autoresponder that offer value to your prospects.
Okay I know. Your stuck, I was. You don't know what to offer or teach. Well one simple trick I adopted was I
signed up to other peoples opportunities and I read the emails they were sending me. I noticed that many of their
messages were useful and generic meaning I could simply transfer that information to my people without worrying
about copying trade marked secrets. Also through this process I started to come up with some material of my own.
Also when I signed up as an affiliate (affiliate marketing will be discussed later) to different businesses such as
AWeber I found that they provided the material for my autoresponder series.
All you need to do is set up a few weeks of emails and just keep adding. I set mine up to run every 4 days or
so, you can adjust the regularity as you see fit based on your opportunity or comfort level. I have learnt that
regular intervals is better than less and that regular intervals will make you more money that lesser intervals. I
think it's all about the content, only sent useful relevant information.
Another tip, you can have material created for you by using services such as Elance, I got material by hiring a
company to provide useful information for MLM marketers, each message cost me about 10 bucks.
- Add about 2 to 4 weeks or autoresponder messages to your account
- From other marketers emails
- From joining affiliate programs
- From hiring ghost writers on services such as Elance
- From your own knowledge base
- From research as you build your knowledge
For help with your autoresponder messages...
Step 4
Sign up and start promoting affiliate products.
Okay so you have realized that you are your business, you have set up a 1 page website known as a lead capture
page offering a solution, you are collecting names and addresses, and you have an autoresponder sending your new
prospects useful information.
So now you need to start making money, this is where affiliate marketing comes in. You are going to offer
products or services from other companies to your prospects and you will get paid a percentage when you do. This
will create a steady income stream to keep YOU Inc afloat.
You see you don't need to create products you can use other peoples products and make money. YES I hear you what
about your main product, the one where the big bucks are made, well hold on, your creating loyal customers,
customers who trust you...Isn't that the goal?
- Sign up with affiliate programs and promote their products or service.
- Most affiliate programs will provide material for your marketing you will use their material for your
autoresponder, you will plug the material into the autoresponder and set the frequency.
Step 5
Create Articles
Now that you have a funnel in place you need to advertise your business YOU Inc.
I am purposely avoiding pay per click advertising because unless you know what your doing in my opinion it
should be on of the last forms of advertising if you are going to build a solid foundation.
Now you need articles which are papers of approximatey 400 words promoting your opportunity which is YOU Inc.
These articles will be generic and informative on a variety of topics within your arena, their purpose is to
provide useful information and to funnel them to your lead capture page.
So where do you get articles, first don't try to do them yourself, you have too many other things to do, you can
get them when you sign up as an affiliate these companies provide them to help you promote their product, you can
outsource and hire someone from Elance you will pay approximately $10 to $15 for a good article. First test by
getting one article done if you like it then you can order more. Make sure the articles are well written and also
make sure they are ghost written meaning you can add your name and company as the author.
Once you receive your articles add your name and or company as the author and most importantly your website link
cut and pasted from your browser so that prospects will click on the link and will be taken to your website, this
link is also very important for search engines, each link to your site boosts it's rank or position in the organic
searches.
- Build a list of articles
- From affiliate programs
- From hiring ghost writers through services such as Elance
- Write your own articles (not recommended, you have a business to run)
Step 6
Submit your articles
