The top 3 ‘Secrets’ of a six figure online business
In today’s post i’m going to reveal the 3 BIGGEST keys to online success, so keep reading at all cost. These are the keys many marketers would like you to stay clueless about, or only give you bits and pieces at a time. I see lots of mistakes being made out there, with focus in all the wrong places. So as one of my readers, I’d like to help you avoid these mistakes by focusing on what works…
Key secret #1- LIST BUILDING
Building an opt-in email list should be your #1 priority. If all else fails, you can still make good money by having an opt-in email list, which includes building a trusting relationship with the people who join your list.
One of the large advantages to having a list is not just that it’s a means of getting instant free traffic (and cash) anytime you need it simply by writing or passing on a promotion and clicking “send”…
It’s also a killer tool for creating leverage! For example, it’s tough doing ventures with other list owners, without your own list!
…But with a list, you can contact other people to do ad swaps, where you send their product to your list, and they send your product to theirs- meaning even more endless free traffic!
Which brings me to my next key!…
Key # 2- PRODUCT CREATION
Lots of people want to make money solely as an affiliate – promoting other peoples’ products. And you can make a lot that way!
But ideally, you want to also be creating your own products to build a real online business.
How many gurus do you know without their own products? You’re probably lucky if you can name even one.
Quite honestly, from my experience it’s much easier to make larger sums of money much faster by creating your own products!
You can offer both affiliate products and your own products to your email list this way as well. The trick is simply to emulate what works, in whatever niche you’re focused on. You can go straight to clickbank.com and look at the popularity of products in their marketplace to see what’s selling.
…That will show you what works. From there, simply determine what benefit is being fulfilled by the products that are selling, and provide the same or very similar benefit with your product.
Obviously, you want to try to improve on what works, to make your product even better then the competition… Make it easier to use, or offer more of the benefit, etc.
It’s important to note that you never want to copy somebody else’s content, or ad copy, or anything like that. What I’m saying is simply that you want to model after what works.
If you’re a beginner, don’t try to model after a software product generally speaking. Model after an eBook or a video series or something more simple to create, and go from there.
In terms of modeling how successful product is marketed which is actually the main thing you want to emulate, everything is out in the open.
Think about it. You can watch the sales letter. You can subscribe to newsletter follow ups. You can see pricing. You can see how an affiliate program is run. Etc. Etc. Apply what you see to your product and your marketing.
Key # 3 – COPYWRITING
Becoming a proficient copywriter will help your online business IMMENSELY. I can’t stress it enough. It helps in almost every area of your business- even when it comes to setting up JV’s or finding affiliates, since it comes in handy being able to persuade others to take action.
…That’s all copywriting is- getting others to take some sort of action, whether it’s joining your email list or promoting your product or buying your product.
The good news is that everything you need to know about copywriting is available for free in books and online. Go to your library and check out books by Ted Nicholas and Dan Kennedy… Read and study them.
Also, before you write your next or first sales letter, go online and check out the 12 step fool proof sales letter by David Frey.
