How to get Real World Online Success
This is no bullshit online business success article. There will be no motivational tips, No complicated 30 steps and no Hype. In fact, The things I am going to suggest will out shine any $1000 Traffic building, Content creating, Video marketing, Web 2.0 or any other SEO plans out there. Your fingers might bleed and you might get addicted to coffee. And that’s the good thing. 
Listen the plan is based on the simple idea – “Sell the Damn thing to People who want it”. There’s no better marketing advice anyone can give you. Now let’s break down this advice into 2 simple components.
1. Sell the Damn thing – Now this is your product I am talking about. Without a good product, you are dead. The best thing is if the product happens to be yours. 2nd Best is when you are promoting someone else’s product.
Well, Here’s a wake up call. We ain’t selling anyone’s product till we sell ours.
2. To People who Wants it – This is all about traffic building and converting. The idea is simple “Sell to the people who wants it”. Now I don’t care if I can sell ice to eskimos, I won’t do it. Why? because too much efforts required. Too many hoops to jump. We want to sell something that people wants.
Like water in hot desert to thirty traveler. Simple enough.
So how do we do this?
1. Create a product – DUH! If you don’t understand the simple idea that your products gives you better maneuverability than affiliate products, then you don’t belong to the crowd. We don’t want 20 DVD, 40 CD with 400 pages in 4 Different binders as a product (well I’ll be damned happy if you can get that, but that’s another story).
You need a very simple product. 8–10 pages of “Special Report” will do it enough. You can charge it at 10 -20 dollars a piece. You can finish this kind of product in few hours. Write a sales letter for it in 30 minutes and start selling by tomorrow. That’s the beauty of it.
So that means another “50 ab exercises” book won’t do. Instead, “My Secret Diet plan and Ab workout that gave me 6 packs in 6 weeks” will work like gangbusters. Getty?
Remember WE sell a product that people already wants. We don’t want to create a market for it.
2. Sell the damn thing – err… How to get traffic – Now this is where you are going to spend all your coffee and bleed from fingers. So far everything was easy.
1. Create a blog, Write a post everyday. If you market is competitive, then post 2–3 times a day.
2. Write an article and submit to ezinearticles everyday. Keep doing this, until you start selling 2–5 copies of you products everyday. Heck if possible, don’t ever stop doing this.
3. Find other related blogs and leave comments. Do this everyday.
Doing the above will give you more than enough link juice and SEO power to get FREE traffic.
Now There are 2 important thing to remember.
1. When you get these people, try to get them opt in to your list.
2. Get your customers opted-in automatically(this needs coding knowledge, Digital guard creates link that can do this automatically).
3. Improve the conversion – Now I know, none of us are Gary Halbert or John Carlton. So our sales letter are going to suck, but don’t worry, that’s why we have google web optimizer. Test your sales letter, test your offer. Try to achieve 1% conversion. 1 buyer for every 100 visitor.
When you achieve 1% goal, Start working towards 2%. If You can sell at 2%, you are far better than 98% of internet marketers out there.
4. Create more expensive products – The idea is to do rinse repeat of the above process, This time add few more expensive products. Your goal is to sell at least $500 worth of product package.
5. Start Your own Affiliate program – As you start selling more products. Start Your own affiliate programs. Let people sell your product. There’s nothing like getting FREE traffic from affiliates.
Now it doesn’t work, if you don’t start working on Step 1 Right now. In fact I am ordering you to sit down and type a 10 page report on something that people already wants. By Tomorrow you should have it ready. By Tomorrow evening, You should also have it’s sales letter & Blog ready. You don’t need a big ass 40 pages sales letter.
If you don’t start right now, you never will.
Conclusion ?
Nope, none. After all this plan is so darn effective, you don’t even need to do last 3 steps. Adding any more will just muddy up the masterpiece.
A different take on Building internet business part time
One of the most common mistake every new i-entrepreneur does is not take their business seriously. They are working part time with part time mentality. That’s where 95% of new internet marketer goes wrong.
You have to take it seriously and think like it’s your own business that you are working towards. People have this attitude from their teenage years where Part time = pocket money = few beers and pizza with friends. And this attitude cross over when you start building your own business online.
Think of it like this. You are baking a cake. It takes 7 ingredients to bake a cake. But what if you miss 3 of the ingredients. Will the outcome be still a cake? Heck even if you miss 1 ingredient, the outcome will not be a cake.
For internet business, you need
1. Ingredients – Raw Materials to work with – i.e. Website, domain name, hosting etc.
2. Time limit – Working hours – You have to spend time daily on your business.
3. Experience – nobody can make a decent enough cake with their first try– It comes with experience. You’ll have to get improve your skills with writing, seo, building traffic. It’ll take some time.
If you understand this simple aspect of building business, you’ll go further than most people. One of the studies about affiliate marketers suggested that 90% of them do not make more than $200 a month. To me, Which is not surprising. Taking into the account of their hard work, I am not surprised at all.
Whenever I think of new marketers, I remember someone who in this first month as affiliate marketer made $800. He worked harder than anyone, he worked longer hours than anyone, he focused on his objective better. He jumped into 10% of affiliate marketer in his first month. Is it surprising? No.
Follow this template to write article in 10 minutes
In this article, I am going to give you one of my favorite article template that anyone can use and write articles in 10 minutes.
I call this template “hi buddy”. Why? because when I am using this template, I am imagining that I am talking to my best friend about the product/website.
Whenever you get stuck writing an article, Imagine you are calling your best friend.
Lead – in Paragraph -And start a conversation like this…
“hey buddy, You know, I was looking for X and came across this website.” This is your lead in paragraph or introduction for the article. You don’t need anything serious or special opening for the articles.
In this section you are going to talk about WHY? Why you were looking at X/Y/Z product or website. For example, if you are looking for a product on article writing, you’ll say something like this…
“Hey buddy, you know, I was having problems with writers block and For the life of me, I couldn’t just get anything to write. So I ended up doing search on landed on this great website, where the author suggests I can write articles in 10 minutes. Would you believe that?”
Be a skeptic – Next paragraph, you can act like a skeptic and write like you didn’t believe a word what the author suggested. Now if you want an example, it’ll go something like this…
“Sheesh, I don’t believe I can write an article in 10 minutes. How I am going to get ideas for the article? What about the research? What kind of article style I’d use? Heck I type at 20 words per minute. Do you really think I can think, research and finish an article in 10 minutes?”
Give a Reason – In this section I want you to give reason why you think X works. Now I know with my own example, I created a wall too high to climb, So I’ll give you another example.
“But you know for some reason I want to believe him. According to him, using a template can cut down your time to think and write. Moreover it forces and creates a habit which you can utilize to write articles fast. In fact according to the author, Your brain get accelerated when you put some kind of problem in front of it and it tries to give many possible solutions”
Support Your Reason – Now All you have to do is support your reason. If I have to support my above reason, then Here’s how I’d do this.
“Don’t believe me? here’s a simple exercise for you. I want to think of words starting with letter C. Now do this for next 10 minutes. You’ll notice you’ll be getting the words even after you’ve stopped thinking. Surprised how your brain works?”
Add examples – theories – stories – If you want you can add example, theories, stories to your articles to make them lengthy and interesting. I think I don’t give an example for this, right?
Finish with a simple conclusion – Conclusion is easy to write. All you have to do is talk about what you talked about in the article. So if you have “hi buddy” template, you can easily write an article in 10 minutes with proper lead in paragraphs, examples and stories to make it interesting read. I just finished writing a 560 words article with the same template.
