8 Secrets of Successful Internet Marketers

Hopefully by now you realize why every fortune 500 company, every successful business or corporation, and even successful non-profit organizations use Marketing. I am shocked that network marketers, who operate under this guise of marketers, have NO IDEA how to market and hardly do it anyway. But that is all changing. Why? Well, as much as I would like to believe I am some sort of pioneer or the "first" to come up with good ideas...it's simply not true.

There is a HUGE shift happening in network marketing. LOTS of people are waking up to the power of Internet Marketing to generate endless leads, and bring those endless leads into their business. Of course...most of these people are the ones who are more SERIOUS about being successful, which is why they put out more energy then someone who says, "I think I'll give it a try". When you take action it's not about "giving it a try."This is for the people who WANT success and aren't stopping until they get it. If that's you...I just handed you the map to the treasure chest. I'm going to cover somethingVERY important. This one piece could make or break your marketing efforts online. It's called the funded proposal concept.

How would you like to get your prospects to PAY YOU for being your prospect? It sounds ridiculous right? Would you believe me if I told you it was the only thing that makes sense? The funded proposal concept is the science of constantly stayingin the profit, and having your marketing budget pay for itself.

It works like this...

You are spending time or money to create the traffic that will fill your pipeline with prospects. Rather than ONLY marketing your company or program to that targeted group of people...with a funded proposal you LEAD with a generic retail product that is targeted to your prospects.

Or, if you're REALLY bright and see how powerful the internet really is... you'd put together a marketing and training resource page and fill it with VALUABLE resources for traffic and marketing education that people in ANY program are looking for. As people visit and pick things up from your resource page to help them in building their primary program, you get paid.

This is a "custom funded proposal". You offer people valuable resources that they are looking for anyway... and when those resources help them, they'll know you're a "good guy/gal" in the industry and they'll stay on your list. Later, you'd be surprised... they'll start CHOOSING to get into business with you. What that means is...you will have prospects entering your pipeline and you will be marketing a SEPARATE front end product to them that also helps fulfill a need they have. By doing this, you are making up-front sales of a retail product, which puts cash back in your pocket, pays for your marketing costs, PLUS you are marketing your business opportunity on the back end the entire time. This is what your company website will never do for you. This is what most marketers completely miss the boat on.

They fail to create a system where the marketing costs pay for themselves and they put their entire business at risk. Here is why the funded proposal is absolutely necessary. Online marketing takes TIME before you start to see consistent sales and income. I'm going to be completely honest with you just like I am honest with everyone who joins my business. It takes some time for you to feed your marketing pipeline enough traffic to start to see consistent sales from the system. A good expectation of what to earn in Top Tier Online marketing is $2000 - $8000 a month in commission income after 3-6 months. $10,000 a month between 12-14 months and that's IF you are doing it well. Online marketing is not get rich quick. But it CAN be very lucrative when you're in the right system with the right people guiding you. And having a solid system with a funded proposal is so important for you to offset your marketing costs and only attract and filter in good quality people. Just do the math...

If you choose to spend $500 a month on marketing, and that generates 12 funded proposal sales at $50 each, you're marketing MORE than you spend and your marketing pays for itself. Program sales that can net you $1,000 on top of that are pure profit.

With the funded proposal, you are marketing an upfront product to that market the entire time, and getting paid IMMEDIATE cash when someone purchases! Problem solved. There is a special kind of product that works INCREDIBLE to market to the crowd of people we are going after. Hint*, It has nothing to do with your company's product. No one opted in to your list because they wanted a vitamin, skin care products, or whatever else your company sells.

They want to make money. Lots of money. Quickly. So what do we do...we sell them training on HOW to do online marketing the RIGHT way. People are 10X more likely to buy training or coaching on how to do something the right way then they are to actually do it! You can also sell them traffic.

Advertising resources. Marketing tools that will help them drive more traffic into their existing systems. Information products work wonderfully in this niche. You can sell a good info product to your target market all day long and that will help pay for whatever time or money you spent to acquire that prospect. On top of this, as you get to know your new prospects and build trust...you can market much "higher ticket" programs down the road. These are entire business systems or packages which range from $1500-$3000, which can put SERIOUS money back into your pockets. And that is almost all profit. Are your eyes opening up here? Are you cracking out of the online marketing tunnel vision egg? There is a lot more ways for you to build "YOU" as a business, then just to build your network marketing company's business. Remember that.So now you might be thinking where do I find such a product to promote? DING DING DING, you're staring one in the face.

How many people in this industry do you think would like to know the information I have been sharing with you just over the past few days? TONS. Literally, TONS. You stand to make boat loads of money in this industry right now because most people are starving for this information... And more than that... they're desperately seeking people and systems that are proven to convert on autopilot. And frankly, there are almost none out there. Just a little knowledge of where to find the traffic and how to get it here... that's all. I can teach anyone willing to learn how to do this in less than 1 month.

So, keep on reading, keep on learning... but better than that...

Get involved and take action!

If you have your own Internet business, you've no doubt heard about successful Internet marketers who are legitimately making millions each year. And, you've probably even wondered exactly how they did it. What are the secrets they share that most people don't know?

After a great deal of research, I have finally discovered what these successful entrepreneurs all have in common. The secret is ... they take action and implement their plans.

So, if this is the true secret to making a lot of money online, why do most people fail?

Although there are many causes for a business to fail, we will focus on just a few:

Failure to Take Action

No matter what type of business you'd like to develop, your dream will NEVER become a reality unless you TAKE ACTION. This is first and most important step to becoming wealthy.

This seems like such a simple little thing; however, this is where most people fail. They never take the first step. Whether they are stuck in the 9-5 rat race, lacking motivation, lacking money, lacking time, or are just afraid of failure, they don't even try. That's so sad, as they never even give themselves a real chance.

If you truly want it bad enough, no matter what obstacles are in your way, you can make it happen. Whatever is preventing you from pursuing your dream, there is a solution. It's just a matter of taking action and finding the solution.

You see, that's what sets millionaires apart from most people. They take action and find solutions to whatever may be standing in their way.

Failure to Develop a Plan

Would you go on a trip across the country without your GPS or at least a road map? Of course not! Then why try to run a business without a plan?

Without a plan, you're setting yourself up for failure. Without a plan, you have no direction and will travel in circles, never reaching your destination. This would be counter productive and a complete waste of your time.

It is very important that you develop a plan of action and set some short-term reachable goals and long-term higher goals. However, don't set them too high, as this will cause you to become discouraged if you don't achieve them.

Write your goals down on a piece of paper and consistently work toward accomplishing your short-term goals each day, each week and each month until you reach them. You should then set your goals a little higher each time. By accomplishing your short-term goals, you will eventually achieve your long-term goals.

Lack of Self Discipline

How long do you think you would keep a job working for someone else if you missed a lot of days, or were late all the time? Not very long.

If you apply this concept to running your own business, do you think your business will be successful if you only work it on the weekend, or now and then? Of course not. You are again setting yourself up for failure.

You should get up early each day and prepare for your job just like you would if you were working for someone else. Make a list of everything you want to accomplish each day and work through the list until the tasks are complete.

You must take your business very seriously and consistently work at it on a regular schedule.

Lack of Self Motivation

You must be motivated and enthusiastic about your business. Surround yourself with motivated, happy people, such as coaches, mentors or other support people to give you the push you need when you're slacking or procrastinating. These people produce positive energy.

Avoid people who try to discourage you from pursuing your dreams, as these people produce negative energy and only serve to bring you down.

No matter what business opportunity you enter into, there will always be people, including your own family and friends, who try to discourage you. They will make negative comments, such as "This is a scam," or "You'll never make any money on the Internet," or "You need to get a 'real' job." However, if you really think about the people who make these comments, you will most likely find that they are stuck in brick and mortar jobs, running the 9-5 rat race each day. These people are usually very conservative and afraid to take chances. The truth is, they will most-likely never make any REAL money.

Always surround yourself with like-minded people who are already what you're striving to be or who support you and your goals.

If you're working with a marketing group of some sort that offers motivational/training conference calls, call in and get the support you need. This can make a world of difference.

Failure to Invest in Your Business

You must be willing to invest in your business - both time and monetarily.

No matter what type of business you want to start, Internet or brick and mortar, there will always be a start up cost. You must be willing to invest in your business by setting aside some money to start your business.

In addition, if you want your business to grow and continue to grow, not only must you invest your time, but you must also invest a portion of your profits back into your business.

Too Many Irons in the Fire

Instead of focusing on several projects, and giving each project only a portion of your attention, focus on just one project and work it until it is successful.

You must take the time to fully promote your project and continue to promote it until it can stand on its own. You can then move on to another project.

By making a few simple changes in your life, you can almost guarantee that you will become much more successful.

How do I become a successful Affiliate Marketer? What are the key ingredients to be successful in Affiliate Marketing? Can I learn to be successful, and are there clear steps to success? These are common questions faced by new Internet marketers or marketers who have been around. But surely, those who want to be successful in Affiliate Marketing will always have these questions in mind.

Affiliate Marketing is the most common and easiest business model for anyone who would like to start an online business, or for those who would like to expand their product or service offerings. Though the merchant will provide the affiliate with all the necessary tools and resources to start selling the product or services, it is not as simple as it sounds.

A successful Affiliate Marketer doesn't just jump in and start advertising and driving traffic to sell the product or services. The experienced marketer will always plan every action and implement his or her business plan the best he or she can. This is done by utilizing the correct tools and resources available to maximize the business potential.

Below are the top 3 essential tools used by successful Affiliate Marketers:

Tool #1: Your Own Website

The most essential tool which is also indispensable in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. Your own website is like your own retail store. If you have no store, how can people come and shop with you? So the 1st step is to build a professional and credible looking website. Your website is the start off point of all your marketing efforts. If you don't know how to design a good and professional looking website, then you can outsource it.

Your website should be user friendly too because it is through your website that you appeal to your potential customers to click on the links to buy the product or services you are promoting. Therefore, it is imperative that your website is designed to cater to your potential customers' needs.

Research has established the fact that almost all internet users go online to look for information or for solutions, and not to buy something. It would therefore, make sense that your website is full of original, useful and relevant content. In the Internet, content is king and good quality content will draw people to your site. A website rich in content will also help it get a higher ranking by search engines.

By posting useful and helpful articles, you will establish yourself as a credible source of information, an expert in the field. Hence, your recommendations and endorsements carry a lot of weight as people perceive you as trustworthy. Building your reputation is as fundamental as in building up a loyal customer base.

Tool #2: Incentives

Competition is intense in Internet Marketing. In order to stay ahead of the game, you have to use any possible means to get people to visit your website and proceed to click on the links to the website of the product or services you are promoting.

Building you own opt-in email list is a good way of gathering prospects for future promotions. You can offer incentives to your potential customers to encourage them to subscribe your newsletter or e-zine. Give away free softwares or access to certain exclusive services or any other freebies will help you build rapport with your potential customers.

Tool #3: Link Popularity

Finally, we come to the all important traffic. Driving traffic to your site is critical in Affiliate Marketing. Without people visiting your website, there is not even a possibility for a sale. Driving people to your website is therefore, critical to the survival of your Affiliate Marketing business. Do whatever it takes to get a high search engine ranking. One of the factors that search engine uses to rank websites is the site's link popularity. To enhance your link popularity, you must have lots of link to your website!

One of the best free and long term methods of growing your link popularity is to submit articles. In submitting articles to e-zines and free article directories, you will get the chance of advertising for free, gain exposure to targeted readers and more importantly, get a link back to your website. The more sites you post your articles, the more popular your link will be. For other readers and webmaster to copy your articles, it has to be original, useful and relevant.

These are just 3 tools that an Affiliate Marketer can use to maximize sales. However, Affiliate Marketers are not limited to the above 3. There are many other techniques, ideas and strategies which you can adopt to build your Affiliate Marketing business to be a successful business.

Are there secrets to Multilevel Marketing business? Yes there are, however, it is not really secrets to Multilevel Marketing business, because everyone who has ever succeeded in Multilevel Marketing says it time and time again, but the failures of Multilevel Marketing will never understand it, rather they still go forward seeking the Holy Grail or the secrets to Multilevel Marketing business success.

The problem is balance or a better way to put it, is that you just may be thinking tactics rather than strategies. This information is the obvious, which sometimes doesn't seem obvious. You may say these are not the secrets of Multilevel Marketing business, but I urge you to test with your past results and also the results you earn now and into the future. Let's begin.

Multilevel Marketing is designed so anyone could succeed by applying what they learn as part of the Multilevel Marketing opportunity. The problem not much looked at and is a question I have pondered for some time, why do some succeed while others don't? Given that both have access to the same information and resources. I gradually found it was down to mindset. At a seminar recently I was surprised to learn that in a room full of high achievers, many were most fearful of succeeding or failing. This made these people to consistently fail.

Your mindset determines your results and the actions you will decide to take or not take. Secrets of Multilevel Marketing business is this, you can not visibly see it most of the time. In fact a lot of people who succeed do not even know how they where able to make it happen. Even Bob Proctor, a very lively and energetic motivational and philosophical life coach says. Bob Proctor said that he did not at first know what happened. He tried and tried with no results, and then one day like a flick of a switch, everything fell into place.

Beliefs you hold, the paradigms in your mind, your mental programming will determine what you do. You can set goals and strongly believe that they are real. It matters deep down inside, how you view that goal. If you believe your goal in mind, but your emotions tell you otherwise, you are not going to earn them.

This about brings me to the big secrets of Multilevel Marketing business. And it is quite funny as it is the opposite of what you would think. The secrets of Multilevel Marketing business are dream big, but start small. For many years I worked to craft my mindset for success, however, nothing was resulting. No matter how big I thought and made the business plans that were right for those businesses, the businesses would fall short. When I got into Multilevel Marketing, I worked hard, with no avail. Luckily I came across an article from someone who suggested start small. Start so small and hit that target, then move higher, and higher.

Your success in Multilevel Marketing is very possible. After all, if someone else has achieved the success you seek from the same Multilevel Marketing opportunity, then it is fully within your reach to do the same. The only difference between success and failure in Multilevel Marketing comes from determination and action. Success in Multilevel Marketing is based on time and effort. Fulfil those requirements, keep learning and applying, and you will reach the success you seek in your own work from home Multilevel Marketing business opportunity.

Is there really a secret strategy to internet success?

Well, first let me set the stage for internet business. If I tell you the secret too soon you may miss its importance and miss your chance to stand out in your customers’ minds.

Once I tell you the strategy, you will say, “Of course! Why doesn’t everyone do that?”

But they don’t. And because they don’t, most people fail on the internet… “Home internet business failure rates are estimated to exceed 90%,” says Lisa Edwards of powerhomebiz.com.

However there is a special group that DOES succeed – wildly – beyond what most of us can comprehend. And they do it in all sorts of areas… from the obvious areas of selling money- making and marketing ideas... to hugely successful dating advice sites... to hamster advice sites.

They do live the internet dream of making enough money to live ‘the good life’ and retire from their J.O.B. (just over broke).

The key to success in any business is learning how to add the most value, most consistently, with the least cost... creating a large group of loyal customers. This secret power is called leverage and the web is made for it.

On the other hand, there’s also lots of competition on the net. You have to attract your prospect’s attention, keep that attention, and build trust without wasting too much of your time or theirs.

A big myth you hear about succeeding on the net is that money is in the mailing list. This is only a partial truth. I could hand you a phone book and that would be a great big list… but you have no relationship with those people… no trust, and they are hardly likely to buy from you.

The bottom line is that the money is in the relationships. Who do you like to spend your hard earned money with? Normally it’s people you like and trust.

What this means is whoever is best at building great relationships... that add lots of value to the customer... at a low cost... wins.

So here is the secret that you have been waiting for… ta-da! It’s the telephone! That’s right! Really! No kidding!

How do the marketing masters combine the marketing power of the internet and the relationship building power of the phone to great their millions? Through teleseminars! And more specifically, by studying the Teleseminar Secrets program of Alex Mandossian.

That’s the secret. And then there are a few more tetleseminar basics to make this secret really churn out the dough.

To start with they use low-cost conference calling lines. That way they can talk to 20 people, or 200 people, on up to 2,000 people at a time.

And here is another amazing factor: you don’t even have to be the expert on the subject you’re discussing! You just interview an expert – and I’ll write more on this in later articles.

Is it work setting these up and making sure you have something that you listener want to hear or learn?

Make no mistake -- it’s work. If you want to do it right, you will spend a few late nights learning and preparing.

However, I was a commercial fisherman in Alaska for 18 years and compared to stacking crab pots, talking on the phone to make millions doesn’t sound too hard.

Now, not everyone is going make it big, but my teacher sure has. His website reports “Alex Mandossian has generated over $233 million in sales and profits for his clients and partners since 1991.”

In fact, marketing millionaires Harv Eker, Mark Victor Hansen, Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, Harvey McKay, and many others all use the telephone to rapidly build their businesses using teleseminar marketing.

You can use teleseminar secrets to:

o Promote a new product to your email list

o Promote your product to a JV partner’s list or Affiliate’s List

o Promote a JV partner’s product to your list

o Create a new audio MP3 product – plus transcripts

o Teach tips and secrets about anything (via free or paid teleseminars)

o Build trust, understanding and loyalty with your customers

o And much… much… more


People have used them to:

Teach about growing roses

teach about making-money on the internet

train users on software

Train people about tax laws

Teach about real estate investing

Recruit and train new members for multi level marketing businesses

Teach compassionate communication skills to couples (as I and my partner do!)

There is no end to how creative… and profitable... you can be with teleseminars.

One thing, though, is that it pays to learn from the best and use quality equipment for recording your calls. You can start out using free conference calling services that can host from 99 to 200 people on a call and even have free recording services so you can create a product for future sales…

I highly recommend taking a class to get you started. There are many availible, the best... and also the most expensive is with my trainer, Alex Mandossian. You can out more about him get a free guide by going to my blog. See link at the bottom of the page.

So now it’s time to get started. Decide how you are going to add value (teaching something you love to do is a good starting place). Find out where your prospects congregate and get the word out…

Have you been trying to sell a product like a Internet Marketing Training Course or service on the Internet? If so, you are probably doing this by using an affiliate program, as they are mostly free and widely used. After all, if it is free, and all you have to do is promote it with the tools they give you, what have you got to lose?

Well, nothing really, if you know what you are doing. However, there are many, many newbie affiliate marketers who don't know the ins and outs of this business. First of all, they don't know that getting the right traffic to your site can be very slow going if you don't know the secrets to getting this done.

Now, picture this: You spend lots of your time and advertising money to promote your affiliate site. After a few months, you finally get your first sale. You are a bit discouraged, as it took you this long, but you made $10 with this sale and are excited to make more. However, this affiliate program you are with only pays out when your amount due to you reaches $30. What a disappointment.

Well, if you are in this situation, the key is not to quit, because there are some secrets to this business that you are about to uncover.

First of all, never advertise your affiliate program directly. If you do, you will not receive the sales or the traffic you desire.

People like free things, right? So, offer free product. What kind of product are people looking for? Information is key. People know that information and resources is valuable to them. You can give away free reports, ebooks, etc. Now, the key to this, however, is not to give this information away until you have the person's contact information. This would be their email address, as this is an online business.

Now, once this information is given out, you want to keep following up with this person with more information that is derived from the previous information given. This again must be something of value to them. It needs to be relevant to what they are looking for.

After you have done this, and built a good reputation, and business relationship with, it is time to show them what works for you. The product or service that you are promoting hasn't been revealed to them until now. All of the information provided to them previously is information that is relevant to what the product can do for them, but the product itself is never actually mentioned. You let your affiliate site do the selling for you. You want to keep their interest and get them thinking how they want to know more.

One way to talk about the product is to personalize it and tell them how it has helped you. People want someone who is genuine to sell them something. This builds their trust with you and leads them on to making a purchase.

If you haven't been using these Internet secrets yet with your affiliate business, now is the time to start using a Internet Marketing Training Course. It won't take long before your sales become much more frequent.

Another strategy for producing an e-book is to ask others to write it ror you. Some of the most successful e-book promotions have featured e-books with multiple authors.

Why would an author give you a chapter for your book?

Because you will encourage them to include their contact information and links to their web pages, that’s why. The more copies of your book that you sell or give away, the more traffic they get to their sales sites. More traffic equals more sales.

Here’s how I used this technique.

At our weekly mastermind meeting, I cracked a joke about The Myth of Passive Income (www.mythofpassiveincome.com). I was whining because I had spent two whole hours filling orders and answering customer service emails.

This was the internet age-I was supposed to be sitting on the beach smoking a Cuban cigar and drinking espresso while the money magically appeared in my bank account, wasn’t I?

The reality, as most successful internet marketers will tell you if you catch them out of the public eye, is that most successful internet marketers work long hours to create passive income. Especially in the beginning of your internet marketing career, passive income is a myth.

Joe Vitale laughed at my joke, and then decided it would make an interesting book. So he contacted several of the top internet marketers and asked them to write a chapter about their passive income experiences. In a couple of weeks, we had over twenty chapters, from some of the biggest names in the business.

You can see the final product at www.mythofpassiveincome.com .

This technique will work for almost any subject. For example, if you wanted to write a book about running a successful E-zine, you could email the authors of the most successful E-zines and ask them to contribute a chapter.

I suspect most of them would jump at the chance. Every copy of your e-book will be an advertisement for their E-zine.

When it came time to approach Joint-Venture partners for the e-book, we approached the co-authors. They were happy to make money from the e-book. Of course, it would be interesting to their lists- since they’re in it.

This generated a lot of sales, but more importantly, each person they sent to our site had the opportunity to sign up for our list. This is a great technique for “creaming” another marketer’s list. We were able to identify, and gain access to, the members of their list that were interested in our products.

This has led to some great relationships with our new subscribers, and subsequent sales of other products.

Get the idea?

Use Interviews To Write An E-book

A variation on having others write your book for you is to use interviews.

This is just a little more work, but there are a lot of benefits to this method. Remember that the interview can be conducted by phone, in person, by email- sometimes, the method you use to interview the expert can be a selling point. Be creative!

People who might not take the time to write a chapter are more likely to have a conversation with you, especially if you entice them with an ethical bribe-in this case, you can offer to include their contact and sales information in the chapter you create from the interview.

Remember, these interviews can be done over the phone or through email.

For example, suppose you wanted to write an e-book about the best way to buy a used car. You could arrange to talk with a broad range of used car salesmen. What are their tricks? What techniques do they use to get customers to buy? What should a customer ask? What should a customer be afraid of or concerned about?

Most salesmen will happily talk about their business, if you can convince them that it will attract more customers.

In this case, I’d ask them about the dirty tricks other salesmen use.

If you’re writing an e-book about a topic you’re very familiar with, you can interview yourself!

Once you’ve got your interviews, you’ve converted your authoring problem to a typing problem. You can even hire a transcription service to type it for you.

Writing your book from interviews has a hidden benefit-you nowhave an audio product to sell! You can use your interview tapes as the source material to create CDs or you can convert them to MP3’s and sell them as digital products.

One example of an interview mp3 product is at www.e-bookproblemsolver.com. I interviewed Dr. Joe Vitale on the subject of e-book production and marketing, converted the interview into mp3s and put them online. After listening to that interview, you should be able to come up with a topic, write the e-book, get it online, and sell it. The whole production took less than four hours to create- and was a lot of fun.

Right now, the most popular e-books are the ones that explain how to do something: how to save money, how to make a web page, how to fix a car, how to satisfy your lover, how to bake a great cheese-cake- even how to write an e-book!



You’re looking for an expert, but don’t get in a rut about what constitutes an “expert.” Here are some potential subjects for your interview. I’ll bet you can think of many more.
