Kill your business by doing this...

If you're not gathering leads and names from an autoresponder on your site or blog, you're missing out BIG TIME! These days, people are so inundated with info and offers, they often need to get to know you and see your emails several times before they can trust you and want to do business with you. Auto responders are a great way to do this, yet many sites I visit still don't use them.
Once a visitor clicks away, you've lost them, so why not get their info while they're there (and interested)? Here are a few tips for using auto responders with best results:
1) What's your bribe? The better your offer, the easier it is to get them to sign up. If they want what you're offering, you'll get them so make it good.

2) Don't hide your sign up form. Make it accessible and put it high on your page to increase sign ups. Also, make it attractive and eye-catching. It a key component of your site, so treat it that way.


3) Be careful what you ask for. Don't ask for a life story on the sign up form. Just a name and email is best; if you must have mailing info, tell them why you're asking. Are you sending them something in the mail? If so, tell them. If not, do you really need it? Asking for lots of info will deter sign ups. 
 
4) Overpromise & overdeliver. Promise a lot and give a lot. 'Nuf said. 


5) Say please and say thank you. Be courteous at all time. Your subscribers are valuable. Treat them that way.

The All Powerful PLATFORM for Non-Fiction Writers

Do you have a platform? If you don't know what this is, or don't have one, don't even think about writing your book. This is the advice from publishing big-wigs like Arielle Ford. Of course, this isn't new, but it's now the MUST HAVE marketing for nearly any non-fiction writer who truly desires to make any money with his/her book. As most books don't sell many copies, authors are to rely on back-end deals like speaking engagements and selling other programs to truly rake in the cash. As a writer, the problem exists: Most writers who truly write are not really going to want to get up and speak in front of crowds and hawk their wares (books), right? So how to overcome this? For my money, I'm guessing teleseminars and maybe video seminars could work. Also, developing programs that are pricer that you can upsell to readers who enjoy your topics. In other words, don't be complacent and think as an author you're just going to write books and make m...

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...

Real Estate Marketing Tip: Who cares?

Realtors, the first thing most of us wonder when we see your ad is "Who cares?" Real estate agents are a dime a dozen, right? Sorry to be blunt and harsh, but you're not alone. Most of us think the same thing when we see anyone's ad who just says "Hey, I'm great and sell XYZ." So what? The trick to really getting someone to notice you and think you are the ONE to use is how much information you can help me with. For example, if you pay big money to run an ad somewhere, put something in it besides just your photo and phone number/contact and tag line. Tell me something of use . I will read your ad and possible you name and face will stick in my head. You're paying the money anyway...why not actually put it to good use and make us like and trust you as the expert?
