Can you profit with Online Marketing – the answer is yes but there are a few things that people forget about and I’m going to share a few that I have learned over time.
1. Are you missing the boat by not selling more back end products to your existing customer base? You should have already created rapport, trust and proved your credibility to them.
2. Make it a practice to up sell to new and existing customers. After they decide to buy one product, offer them something they can use for free (content or tips) and then another product.
3. Cross promote your products and services with other businesses that aren’t competition. This happens all the time in the offline world – a beauty shop may offer a coupon to a local coffee shop and the local coffee shop can offer 10% off on hair cut with coupon from the coffee shop – you can do the same with online.
4. Create joint venture deals with other businesses. It’s called the bartering system and works very well – I promote your product in my newsletter and you promote mine to in yours.
5. Start an affiliate program for your business. You will be able to spend less profits on risk advertising and spend more money on guaranteed sales. I trust that what you’ve read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.
6. Trade advertising with other businesses to save revenue. You could trade e-zine ads, banners ads, links, print ads, etc. Don’t be afraid to meet other business owners and trade advertising – I really have great results with this method.
7. Outsourcing part of your workload. There are many talented people out there in fact look thru the talents listed on Apsense – most of the time you can not do it yourself for that low of a cost.
8. Add low cost bonuses to your offer that have a high perceived value a OTO (one time offer) just for them.
9. Use viral marketing to promote your business on the internet. I like giving people my free report to give away to their members in exchange for something they have that I would like. Just open up the doors of communication and find someone that you can trust and work with.
10. Follow up with all your prospects. This is the biggest mistake people make – leaving everyone hanging once they are on your list. With Skype, Facebook, Twitter, I can’t see ANY excuse for not communicating with your prospects and shame on you if you don’t.
Great info Nancy …. full of great advise…. shared it on facebook, twitter, & linken ….
Thanks Sissy – thanks for stopping and commenting and all the sharing – you are so sweet 🙂
I really enjoyed reading that. Good advice and lots of useful info. Food for thought.
Thanks Ally – most of what I write about is from my own experiences and just hope to save ONE person all the frustrating hours I spent learning things the hard way.
Have you seen my blog? here it is http://www.allystewart-blog.com I would love it if you can have a look and tell me what you think. You can be sure I will be back here again.
Thank you for your comment. I too write about my own experiences.
Ally.
Just visited your blog and love your header – glad that we connected and I left my Skype on your blog, add me

You guys are the best to learn from. Thanks for doing this Nancy I hope the new people coming On-Line will find you and read this First. It is great information.

Thanks Kay and even tho I have been online for years now – I still learn everyday and that is what makes this such a great adventure – you never get bored
Very Very Nice Blogpost and I agree. The only limit to make money Online is yourself and not taking action.
“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. ” – Robert Browning –
And as you say in 10. Follow up is the difference between pennies, cents and Dollars… in the longrun a lot of dollars.
6. Is easier then you think. I can add to this… What I did to get on the Radar of some Biz owners was to make comments on conferences, pull in members to their program… add them to skype and show I was willing to learn…
I can Promise you if a member pull in 20,30,50 Leads to My Program … They caught my attention. I look them up, connect in Facebook, Skype etc and this can be the smartest thing you ever did… Why? … Go figure… who might help you when it’s time to launch. Who have the upper hand… You that proved to me you know what you’re doing, you did help me, made a name for yourself or John Blue who ask me and I have no clue who he is or what he can do…
Build relationships, network and your business Will EXPLODE… Sooner rather then Later…
Thank You again Nancy for a great Blog…
Thanks Stefan and great info here and totally agree – if a person is not willing to take the action and just keep saying I’m going to, I’m going to the next thing a year has passed and they never did.
I see that so much online and so many wonder why they could never earn money.
You on the other hand, even being sick, take action and it’s showing – keep up the great work.
