How To Double Your Profits In One Simple Step

by Brian Terry on May 25, 2011

The easiest way of increasing your profits is to sell something to your existing customers. After all they’ve purchased something from you before. So it’s highly likely they already know, like and trust you because of their first purchase.

So how do you get started?

Now what I’m about to share with you only makes sense if you’re already selling product.

Let’s say you’re selling a $27 ebook and it’s making you $540 a week.

That’s 20 sales and 20 new customers.

What if as soon as they ordered your ebook you send them to a page where you offer them a special price on another related ebook or ecourse for the same amount of money (or more)?

Simple right?

If you don’t have another ebook to offer them you’ve got 3 choices…

  1. Create another related product
  2. Find a related product that has PLR rights (you can put your name on it and change the contents)
  3. Write an honest review as an affiliate for someone else’s related product

The very best product to upsell to is always going to be a membership product which gives you a monthly income which grows as you bring in more and more people.

We’ve just completed building a product funnel ourselves for a new training course called “The Affiliate Marketing Samurai“.

I’ve simplified the upsell process in the example above but what we’ve done is created a CD we’re giving to people for the cost of shipping. Those people who order the CD are then offered our monthly membership affiliate training for about $27 a month. Then people who buy that are offered a higher priced affiliate training product for $197.

You could do something similar and you’ll probably be able to quadruple your customer value in no time. All because you’re selling more related information and training to your new customers, as soon as they’ve ordered the first time.

There’s obviously more to it than this but if you head on over to ListPros you’ll be able to get all the details on building profitable marketing systems that double your customer value.

3 Steps To Listbuilding Success

by Brian Terry on May 17, 2011

To many people listbuilding can be a nightmare, but listbuilding is easier than you think once you know where to start.

The problem is there are way too many ways of getting started building a subscriber list. It’s hard to know which ones work and which ones to avoid at all costs.

If you’ve been online for any length of time your email in-box is probably overflowing with the marketing messages of countless other marketers all trying to sell you their latest and greatest course or product.

The competition appears to be fierce at first glance, but don’t let this put you off. Most marketers have no idea when it comes to listbuilding and how to use email to get people to know, like and trust you.

I’d like to share with you 3 steps to helping you get started with listbuilding[click to continue…]

Squeeze Pages With Video Will Never, Ever, Ever Work

November 1, 2010

Don’t waste time trying to get those fancy videos installed on your squeeze pages. They won’t work now, and they won’t work ever. Oh they’ll play alright, but in terms of boosting the optin rate on your squeeze pages above 60%, keep dreaming. There are three fundamental reasons that video will never work on squeeze pages – and by the way, I realize that this is a bold assertion, and if I’m ever proven wrong I’ll happily eat my words, but follow along…

First, Put Your Traffic ‘In The Bank’ With Squeeze Pages

October 21, 2010

Squeeze pages are a great addition to your traffic driving efforts because they let you collect the names and emails of your interested website visitors, so you can market to them later on with cool offers and special deals. Most marketers who go about things the “old way” don’t put much stock in squeeze pages because it seems like an unnecessary extra step… “Why should I use squeeze pages? That’s just one more step between my traffic and a sale” is the common argument…
