7 Steps to succeed in IM in next 7 days
I am going to give you a complete method or blueprint for next 7 days… It doesn’t matter if you are new to internet marketing or an old hand who knows all the trick (yet somehow never made more than few change).
There’s tons of information for you at the simple click of a mouse, then why aren’t you breaking the bank?
The answer is very simple.
Before I answer the question. Let me ask you…
How many ebooks, teleseminars, or mega products all of them which promised you instant bling bling $$ you have right now…
If you answered more than 1. Then guess what, here lies the problem.
You are not keeping things simple to the basics. There’s too much information around you. You might be too quick to jump on anything with a bling.
Let me tell you a story…
About couple of years ago… One of my friend wanted to know how to make money on internet (She noticed my success and was intrigued by it). She told me, she hate her job and what not… So I taught her blogging and couple of tricks to get traffic.
Well I didn’t heard anything from her for next 20 days or so. After 20 days she told me that she’s made couple of hundred dollars in 20 days…
She was happy about her new venture and well, guess what… she disappeared again (to make more money as she told me later). To cut the story short, in her first 2 months she made $1000.
Now what differentiate her and most of us is exactly this kind of attitude. She took one method and ran along with it… She didn’t subscribed to any newsletter, she didn’t bought any new gadget or $1000 quick fix… nothing, nada, zippo.
So today I am going to make everything very simple for you. There’s no marketing lingo, no geek speak,
Here’s Your Internet Marketing Blueprint for Next 7 Days.
Step 0 : Before you start Here are few ground rules…
I like to put some ground rules before you…
- Stop checking your emails every damn hour (No Seriously Stop checking your emails).
- Stop checking your affiliate account every hour (if there’s wasn’t any cash an hour ago, chances are there isn’t any right now too)
- Don’t read any of the newsletter for next 30 days.. (don’t worry, you won’t miss any instant cash idea or next bling-ed $1000 product).
- Stop visiting any marketing forums for next 10-15 days (Again, you won’t miss any insider information, trust me, you have all the insider info that you need).
- and last but surely not least… Work Hard… If you are thinking you’ll make money while you sleep. Wake up.. it ain’t gonna happen… You have to spend a few nights awake before you could sleep while your cash register rings…
Step 1 : Check your Hard drive…
Check your hard drive and pull out all the PLR ebooks you have. I know you have tons of those… so Dig out all your plr articles, products you have. It’s time you start working on them.
I am using PLR to save lot of my time. Often those plr ebooks are written about a decent market size. So you can be sure it’ll sell.
One quick peek gave me 20 different ideas in Health & Fitness market. Another look into one of my folder gave me 10+ some products in self improvement market.
So there are lots of stuff you have that you can use.
Now, I know you might be wondering, every one and his dog is selling those… how can I compete with them?
Well that brings us to our next step
Step 2: Trim Your PLR product
Pick one of the PLR product idea and research on it. You can read my earlier blog post on How to research your market.
How to Research Your Competition
In most of cases your PLR products have 70+ pages. And trust me you can trim those pages like crazy to make them more valuable (why, of course most of them are same repeated, re-hashed stuff over and over again).
If you do all the editing, it’ll take you couple of hours and it’ll trim it down to 30 pages.
Don’t worry about the size of the ebook/product right now…
Step 3: Fatten up your ebook
Spend another couple of hours fattening up your ebook. Here are few ideas you can improve your ebook.
1. Research on wiki-pedia and add some links to wikipedia and make few related anecdotes from it.
2. Add your own related story or your spouse or neighbours or even your mailman. Like I added my friends story. I could have added my own or few other people I know or taught to make money on net.
3. Find examples of other people’s story related to your product (when you can’t find any stories as talked about in 2nd point). Again you’ll find tons of stories…
$$ NOTE : Heck go to related forums and ask for people’s personal stories. Talk to them how they dealt with the situation… Take a small online interview. You can add this as a bonus chapters (internet marketers have been doing this openly)
You’ll be able to easily add upto 20-30 pages with these tactics.
Step 4: Create a Lead generator Device…
Now you need something that you can give it away for free when someone.
There are few things you can do…
- Write your own lead generator ebook (4-8 pages).
- Get it ghostwritten…
- Go to ezinearticles.com and check related articles. Use them to create a few pages e-report you can give out (of course you have to give links to author but don’t worry about it… share some karma :p).
- Or if you don’t want to give out links to other authors. Re-write the articles in your language on same topics (but I prefer give them as I’ll tell you why).
Step 5 : Create a sales page and lead generation page.
Now don’t get too artsy or too sales or may be try to write the PERFECT sales page… Just write the darn thing down. You can find more good links here
Advanced Sales writing 102. Again don’t get too complicated. I try to stay on QUEST formula (you’ll find link to it) as close as possible.
Step 6: Start on bringing traffic.
Use article marketing, forum marketing, blog commenting to bring in the additional flood.
Now I know some of you might say, article marketing or forum marketing doesn’t work. It isn’t so… just couple of days ago I created a small e-report. And wrote 2 articles on it and submitted to ezine articles… in 24 hrs I generated 284 views sand 40 clicks to my sales page.
Now granted those 40 people didn’t buy but I got 30% of them in my list. That’s 12 subscribers (of course this isn’t the Internet Marketing niche). Now I am adding more articles on daily basis.
My Aim with sales letter to convert at around 1%. If I can convert than I know how much traffic to bring to make my first 100$ with this product.
Moreover I have written tons of articles on this blog about bringing traffic and selling… I suggest you to print’em out and read.

Never stop promoting (this is one bit of advice that I learnt the hard way). You have to promote yourself on daily basis. Otherwise in few weeks, you’ll wonder where all your traffic and income went.
Work Hard.
My last bit of advice here is Work Hard. It’ll be this. Work hard, play hard. This is the simplest of methods you can use to make money.
