Source 1: Existing Customers
Yeah, that’s right, your existing customers are the ultimate source for increasing your sales. Think about it…they already trust you and know about your business. Finding and convincing new customers is expensive and time consuming. Why waste all of your time hunting new candidates when you have a huge amount of potential right under your nose?

Find or create new products that your loyal customers will enjoy! Offer them a related item to go along with the purchases they are already making. Your helpful insight will be appreciated, and your profits will add up nicely in the process.

Get your customers working for you. Do you have a referral system in place? If not, you are missing out on one of the greatest marketing tools available!

Find out what they want. Customer surveys are great for discovering exactly what customers like and don’t like. Hey, it makes them feel important and appreciated too! Ask them what they like best about your product… what you can do to improve…who their friends are who might be interested in your product. You’ll find a lot of valuable information just waiting for you to ask for it.

Source 2: Non-Buyer Contacts
Not everyone buys the first time they come around…in fact, the majority of us want to get to know a little bit more about the business before we invest too much of our money in their product. Follow up systems are a great way to turn prospective customers into loyal, satisfied clients.

Hey follow up systems don’t have to be involved, but they can range from a simple occasional contact to providing weekly newsletters. The ball is in your court…keep it as simple or as involved as you want!

Newsletters come in handy for Internet Marketers hoping to capture email addresses of visitors to their site. If a newsletter is too much involvement, give out a free report that will be sent to their email address. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to get the contact information you need.

If you can get the first name of your customer – whether it’s in a one-on-one setting or on the Internet – you’re setting the stage for a more personalized relationship.

Have you ever hit a level of revenue that you just couldn’t seem to break through?

If you have, then you know how frustrating it can feel.

You may even spike above this ceiling periodically. But, like water seeking its own level, your revenue results seek a sub-par level.

I once walked into a situation much like this. I assumed the position of Vice President in a relatively young company. I was immediately tasked with making the changes needed to solve the revenue problem.

The company, after nearly 2 years of business-to-business selling of their service, had met only 40% of their revenue expectations.

Finance told me they were “behind” projections and needed to catch up. And the executive team wanted to know how long it would take. And the CEO said we didn’t have much time.

In this case, corporate had created a unique and valuable position in the marketplace. They had a sustainable competitive advantage. The service application worked, the product was needed and their offering was dramatically different from its competitors. Their Strategic Positioning was in place and healthy.

So why the invisible ceiling?

Sales leadership had failed to understand their meaningful business metrics. This was the primary reason, as it is in most cases. They had not isolated the essential competencies and components. Therefore, their people couldn’t self-compete to reach and maintain revenue goals.

They failed to develop practices and processes that allow an individual to identify, train to and measure their own competencies and performance metrics.

In other words, they attempted to shortcut the “Blocking and Tackling” process to routinely meet revenue goals.

When you hit a revenue “ceiling,” you have to go into diagnostic mode.

Ask the critical questions:

Which one of your Key Performance Indicators is causing you to fall short?

There may be several, but only one is the main culprit. As an example, the company I mentioned was fundamentally fine in turning first appointments into proposals. And they were maintaining an “average” closing ratio. Their sales cycle was within acceptable benchmarks.

Both competencies had room for improvement, but they were not the “smoking gun” at the scene of the crime. So what was the one culprit in this case?

What if I told you they were only generating 2 new appointments per week per sales rep?

Their average revenue per sale at this level of activity, when related to other competency and performance numbers, produces a 40% return.

Anyone can understand that something has to change operationally to grow the revenue. And what one item jumps off the page? In this case, as in many others, activity is the path of least resistance. They just needed to be taught how to generate routine opportunities in the least amount of time.

Everyone settles to his or her own level of “result”.

That may be OK, but only if your comfort zone is consistently at or above the company’s expectations. And when it’s not, “Houston, we have a problem.”

These kinds of problems cause a shortfall of revenue and unnecessary employee turnover, both of which carry “hard-dollar” consequences. I attribute it to having a “comfort zone” that is not all that comfortable.

So, there you are. You’re having a hard time figuring out where it hurts. So you take an aspirin and hope it goes away.

Seek to understand how to break through this undefined ceiling. View your job as a business, your business, and evaluate it. Use the kind of diagnostic lens entrepreneurial business people use to scrutinize their enterprises.

Now, you can develop your own systems and processes, if you want. But maybe you’d rather not try to re-invent the wheel.

In which case, invest in mine.

Either way, the first step in busting through an invisible revenue ceiling is to identify and measure your essential core competencies. Then, develop powerful training systems to improve those competencies.

And you’ll outperform your “comfort zone,” your peers and your competitors.

Forget anything else – I’ll show you how to get stress-free traffic.

Residual revenue puts cash in an associate marketer’s pocket without any work or struggle on his/her part. It doesn’t become at all better than that. Sales of your back-end service or product let you to be rewarded for effort which you do more than one time. The main thing is you should work smarter and not to make it hard. Therefore what are back-end products? They are products/services you’ll present to existing customers to people who have already bought a first product which is your front-end product, your main product from you.

Most online marketers make much extra money selling customers the following, 3rd, fourth and so on. product than selling their primary product. The purpose is that people who’ve previously decided to buy from you previously are much more possible to buy again. Strategies similar to back-end provides shifts the target from your short sighted “take the cash and run” strategy which is so much appearing in use on the internet today. You’ve seen these websites all over.

Little Simple Internet Income Strategy

The focus is receiving a massive sum of web traffic and then selling site visitors an over-priced product which doesn’t deliver what was promised. One might earn money during the brief stretch but these may only sell to each customer once as well as will have to continue spending a a great deal of cash on marketing on the road to get new suckers to stop at his/her site. More profitable websites concentrate on building a strong relationship with his/her potential customers.

Your main objective should not be to just be sure your customers are somewhat satisfied…you would like them to stay very satisfied. If you deliver the goods, your purchasers will have faith in you more. If you develop their trust, you can sell them your products. As soon as you send out to your extremely happy customers an email offering another item for viewing which they would be real attracted in, they will gather to your website to purchase it because they believe in you.

Little Simple Internet Income Strategy

What’s the a biggest motivational tool out there when you start an internet home based business? Well for me it was the anticipation of making my first sale.

When I started my internet home based business I quickly learned that nothing comes for free and you have to work at it to become successful. I thought that I could make lots of money in a short period of time; well I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Yes, I got into the get rich quick scams to begin with, searching on the internet for ways to make money fast. First there was the “get paid for doing surveys” scheme. Then I thought that I could sell things on e-bay to make a quick buck. While there are lots of people doing this it’s not a way to get rich quick. Next was the pyramid scheme. As time went on the money kept going out and nothing was coming in.

I could have quit there but I was determined. I changed my way of thinking and started to search for legitimate ways to make money online. That’s when I found my first no “B.S” internet home based business. I learned everything there was to learn about it, applied the strategies and then reread it all to see if there was anything I missed. Doing those simple things can make all the difference.

While working my new business online I soon learned that one business wasn’t going to be enough to sustain me working at home. So I decided to take on four more legit home based businesses so that I could obtain multiple streams of income. If I could get each of them making $500.00/month that would be enough to allow me to stay at home. I dedicated myself to learning everything about them as well and all the while I kept repeating the things I had learned. Repetition and Duplication are the keys to making any home based business work.

Things started to happen after a month and a half had went by. My site was indexed from the search engines and I got a few sign-ups to my affiliate programs. This in it self was enough to keep me plugging along, but still no sales. I was more determined than ever now, spending countless hours at my desk.

And then it happened….I got my first sale. I couldn’t tell you how happy I was.

Things have been picking up more steadily each and every month. The more I apply the things I’ve learned the more successful I become. The more I repeat things I’ve learned the more successful I become and the more I track and duplicate things I’ve learned….well you get the point.

Carving walking sticks wasn’t meant to be a money-making hobby for me. I sometimes made them when backpacking, and I had always enjoyed taking my pocket knife to a piece of wood to see what I could make. I just hadn’t thought of doing anything more with the hobby.

One summer, when my wife Ana and I briefly got into the flea market business, I noticed the occasional vendor selling walking sticks. If the event was more of an arts and crafts show than a flea market, they sold for as much as $50 each. Ana suggested that we could sell them too, so I went to work.

I could cut 20 or young poplars in an hour with my “shortcut” saw, and get two sticks out of half of them. My favorite wood, however, was white cedar. In the Cedar swamps near home, it grew straight and died young from overcrowding. Cedar wood remains solid for many years after dying, so I could quickly cut many straight and perfectly dried sticks.

There was soon a pile of wood shavings behind the house, as I cut the bark off and carved each stick into various forms. Many were just rounded off on top. Others I cut into a spiral, or pyramidal shape. I put padding and leather covers on some, and drilled out the tops to inset nice stones on others. This is a hobby that lets you really exercise your imagination.

I wrapped the walking sticks with leather near the bottom, to prevent splitting, and most also had leather hand grips. The leather came from old leather coats I bought at thrift stores for $5 each and cut into strips. It was attached with glue and small nails. Each stick had about fifty cents in materials in it at most.

A Money Making Hobby

They sold for as little as $6 each to as much as $24. This was less than others sold walking sticks for, but then we were mostly selling them at flea markets, rather than arts and crafts shows, where they would get a higher price. I also wholesaled them to a vendor who sold them at gun-and-knife shows, and to a friend who sold them at Native American pow-wows.

How much could you make selling walking sticks? Who knows. I sold about $1200 in walking sticks that summer, before we moved on to try an internet business. They were a nice addition to our other crafts and the stuffed animals we sold at various flea markets. My advantage was that I was very efficient in making them, spending less than an hour even on the most elaborate ones.

The most I sold was $250 in walking sticks in a day. However, I saw vendors who paid $300 to rent a space for the weekend (we typically paid $10/day for a flea market space), and sold only walking sticks. They were undoubtedly selling much more than I, but in any case, doing something you enjoy AND making a profit is a nice advantage of any money-making hobby.

MasterCard International is targeting a 40 per cent growth for the financial year
2004-05. At present, it has 7 million debit cards and 5 million credit cards. …

People will always need credit cards; it seems the average person has about 4 cards in his pocket, a card for gas, a card for a major department store, a card for groceries, a card for jewelry, and a couple of cards as spares just in case cash is needed and in short supply.

Now if you have a website, ANY type of website, you can become an affiliate for one credit card company, or up to 100 credit card companies, for absolutely free!

To give you an example as to what is available:

You can feature more than 100 credit cards with several companies by just placing a simple link on your web page for free.

These companies will also help you set up your website.

Credit Cards offered are Visa. MasterCard and American Express.

Commissions to you when somebody fills out an application range from $20 to $80 for an approval.

They provide affiliates with all credit card content, such as reviews, ratings, APRs, fees, etc. All information is provided FREE to affiliates to incorporate into their websites.

Some companies will actually supply you with access to a database which consistently updates any information that may change such as interest rates and terms and conditions.

There are at present numerous different types of cards the majority of which fall into 2 classifications:

Credit Cards based on good credit history.
Interest and transaction rates should be relatively low.

Credit Cards based on not so good credit history.
Interest and transaction rates will be relatively high.

It would be perfect as an affiliate to be able to offer both.

In order to convince people to subscribe to a certain credit card you can actually promote on your website various types of rewards offered by the credit card companies.

A prime example of rewards of course are air miles.

“Get 15,000 miles free when you apply for this particular credit card.”

How about these rewards:

“0% intro APR for 15 months.”

“Instant approval”

“5% cash back”

“Free movie rentals”

“Bad Credit OK”

“Low Interest”
“Purchase and transfers at 0%”

“Free rewards program: Home, electronics, dining, travel and more”
” 5 points for every $1 spent at supermarkets, drugstores & gas stations:”
” Earn 1 point for every $1 on all other purchases”
” 0% APR on balance transfers for 12 months”
” No annual fee”

“auto rebate cards”

Faster Cards
There are now new cards , where card members simply hold their card near a point-of-sale reader at a checkout, instead of swiping their card or handing it to a store employee. As card members hold their card with this feature near the point-of-sale reader, the reader will quickly emit a tone and light up to signal payment confirmation.

“We believe the innovative cards with this feature provide merchants and card members with the increased speed and convenience they want at the point-of-sale,” said a senior vice president of a company’s credit card division.

“With this feature, card members can save time when making their everyday purchases.”
So you could use any of the above incentives to promote your affiliate credit card link and earn additional Internet Income.

This new way is catching on around the world. People are compounding money rapidly for themselves.

Its called “opportunity investment” and it has nothing to do with the traditional way to invest. Stocks, bonds, shares etc.

This is hands on. The entire premise is based on compounding and becoming the “investor source”

You see when we hand over our funds to “professionals” to invest our capital we dilute our returns dramatically. It makes sense if you think about it. They have no interest or incentive to manufacture returns any better then maybe 10% if you are lucky.

“Opportunity Investment” is a term that describes the process of taking responsibility for your own funds. Thereby becoming your own “investor source” What that means is that you determine by your daily actions and decisions, what your returns will be. I have managed over 2500% per year and it was easy. Starting with just $100 and on a whim, I compounded that in to $1 million dollars within 27 months

I discovered this 5 years ago. There is a book written by a guy who pioneered this formula and lives the results every day. Hayden Muller. The book is called “The inside trade secrets to an ethical opportunity investor”

The idea is to identify “investment objects” that are endowed with “excess intrinsic value” By recognising profit where others do not we put ourselves in the position to access this unseen stored portable value and transform it into profits which we pyramid and compound into a rapid fortune.

Its my opinion that this is not new at all. I believe, this is the narrow path that all “high net worth individuals” discovered for themselves. What is novel and new is the way its packaged as a book and disclosed freely to all who choose to recognise its worth.

I am so impressed with it, as were my associates, that we invested in an online resource to share with the many who already compound their wealth rapidly and certainly day by day. (Theres a link to the site below if you wish to learn more)

Theres revolution in the air. Ordinary people are daring to reach for their first million and taking it. Millions are not content to work their whole lives, then retire then die. They express it by their actions. They are living in large comfortable homes. They are sending their children to good schools, driving nice cars and living the life they choose today not tommorow.

We are part of that paradigm shift and we fan the flames with knowledge. Wealth education need not be complicated. Your wealth education could be alot simpler and direct if you choose it to be. Simpler is always better, and opportunity investment is the bare bones. The structure is robust and direct. Take it and earn like the many who already do.

How numerous times we’ve you noticed downbeat associations with money in our common day language? Consider these…

? Assuming you possess money, you grow to be greedy.
? Ones Desires are never satisfied.
? Wealth isn’t growing on trees.
? Refusal gains equal lacking no pains.
? Wealth makes false friends.
Who Can Make Friends with Money

This is our everyday language. But, looking at these expressions, it does seem that money is a very bad thing, doesn’t it? No one would have a positive impression of money if they are educated with these dictum’s.

In fact, this is the reason why more than half the people of the world are bogged down by problems concerning money. Why, we should say the ratio of people with financial problems must be even larger than that! We learn such negative associations about money that we begin feeling that money is a very bad thing.

Our parents, teachers, religious preachers, spiritual gurus, everyone tell us that money is a very bad thing to have. But then even these people are in the game for the money, right? We develop such a bad perspective about money from our early childhood from these people that throughout life we do not consider it favorably. And when we grow up, we pass on this mantle of hatred toward money to our children and they grow up hating it too.

The result – one financially limited generation gives birth to another.

We need to stop this cycle right now. We need to remove this highly incorrect view about money that we are fed on. We have to make friends with money. Money is actually what sustains economic life on this earth. Without it, not a single button could change hands. We have built the world on the base of money and now there‟s no way we can run away from it. Do not regard money as your enemy. This is what defeatists do. These individuals who haven’t never earned any money in their lives or the ones who probably have earned so much that they don’t really care whether others do or don’t. Everyone has to just improve their own situation. Know it’s your realization on how to make friends with money.
