What Should You Be Selling?
by Betty Ann Wilkins © 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choosing a product for your home-based business is not only
one of the harder decisions you will make but will also have
a big impact on your financial success. Many people think
that a lower priced product that is more affordable is best.
This is not at all the case. An expensive product with a
high profit margin can and will do much better for you.
How can this be, you may be asking. It is really quite simple.
Regardless of the product, you will put the same time and
effort into it. The percentage of qualified prospects that
will actually buy from you will be about the same. No matter
what the price, prospects will always have reservations. It
will be just as hard for you to sell a $20 product as it would
to sell a $1000 product. So, a high priced product with a
higher profit margin will make you more money.
Every product has a price to value ratio. What does this mean
to you? Let's take a hot dog for example. Would you pay $50
for a hot dog? Of course not --- the perceived value is much
lower than the asking price. On the other hand would you pay
$1500 for a brand new 3 bedroom house? Of course you would.
Even if you didn't have $1500 you would beg, borrow or do
whatever it takes to come up with the money. You would go to
the trouble because of the Great Value compared to the asking
price.
There are many opportunities to choose from. Be sure to choose
one that's product has a high perceived value and a high profit
margin. It takes time, patience and research but you can find
opportunities that pay high commissions.
In all businesses there will come a time that you will hit a
dry spell. You just can't seem to find anyone that is able to
see the value in your product or possibly you will start
running low on money. If you truly believe in your product and
have invested a good chunk of time and money into it you will
be less likely to just give up. With a low priced product it
is much easier to just give up and move on to something new.
This is part of the reason that so many people fail --- they
just jump from one opportunity to another.
Do your homework first -- Be sure you believe in the product --
Invest a good chunk of time and money into it (this will help
you to stay motivated when the going gets tough) --- be sure
the perceived value is high --- be sure there is a high profit
margin.

Online Marketing Maintenance Plan
by Jim Daniels
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, get out your schedules. It's time to pencil in the most
important "appointments" you MUST attend as a small business
owner.
I'm sure you've heard over and over that as a small business
owner, most of your time should be spent on marketing. And while
this is true, pinning down the specifics can be a daunting task.
Unless you have a regular routine you can follow, your efforts
will yield inconsistent results at best.
So how do the most successful marketers keep up with the constant
chore of promotion? They follow a regular schedule and attend
their own "marketing maintenance appointments!"
Based on my own promotion, I've worked up a mock schedule for
you. This stuff really works for me, and may work for you too.
Naturally I don't expect you to follow it to the letter, but this
should help you develop your own "online marketing maintenance
plan."
Here we go...
Daily:
- Answer email.
If this is not already your number one priority online, it should
be. People expect answers quickly in cyberspace. If you show them
that you are ready and willing to help, you'll earn their trust
and their business.
- Perform one marketing-related task.
Even if it is fifteen minutes to register at a search engine or
post to a bulletin board, make a commitment to perform at least
one marketing-related task per day.
Weekly:
- Add a page to your website.
Even if it is a short report about your area of expertise, adding
pages regularly will increase your exposure by giving your site
more points of entry. This will also show customers that your
site is not stagnant.
- Add a dozen or so search terms to your goto.com account. You DO
have a "goto" account don't you? www.GoTo.com
lets you buy
targeted clicks to your site for as little as a penny. This
marketing strategy is gaining popularity rapidly among many
prominent marketers. One of our private site members has utilized
this strategy and added 15,000+ visitors by spending $150 a
month. He never pays more than $0.01 for any click! Enough said.
Monthly:
- Submit any new web pages you've added to at least 5 new search
engines.
Once you're in the major engines like AltaVista, InfoSeek and
Excite, go for the "next level" engines like Thunderstone,
MetaCrawler, LookSmart. These engines are included in searches
from multi-engine search sites such as dogpile.com and others.
Your site needs to be listed with as many search engines as
possible.
- Find one new ezine to advertise in.
Advertising in most ezines is still one of the biggest bargains
on the internet. In many cases your cost of advertising is
recouped with just one or two sales. A few ezines I've advertised
in with excellent results are DEMC and Web Marketing Today. If
you have not tried ezine advertising you may be surprised at the
results. Each time you find one that works, just add them to your
regular advertising schedule and before long you'll see a steady
incline in profits. (Why not start with the one you're reading
right now - if YOU are reading it, your target audience may be
reading it too!)
- Submit an article to a list of targeted ezine publishers.
Here's how effective this can be. Just last month I released a
tip I wrote for my BizWeb E-Gazette. The following week it
appeared at internetday.com and generated over 2000 visitors to
my site. Talk about effective promotion. Article submissions need
to be on your schedule.
Quarterly:
- Set up one completely automated marketing tool.
What is an automated marketing tool? Something you implement,
which promotes your site 24 hours a day and does 100% of the
work. (Isn't the web a great place to do business!) Here's an
excellent example of how to use this strategy...
http://www.letemknow.com - This site sets up a
referral form for
you to post on your site. Your visitors can then refer their
friends and associates to your site with a few clicks.
letemknow.com builds the forms for you in seconds and it'll take
you just a few minutes have the referral service on your site.
Unlike many similar services, this one isn't interested in
grabbing your traffic. It simply helps you generate countless
referrals to your site.
- Sign on one joint-venture.
Joint ventures work great on the internet. There are two ways you
can utilize this to add profits. First, you can contact
webmasters who market similar products and services and ask them
if they would be interested in offering yours. Give them 25% -
50% of the profits and it's a win-win situation. Another way to
use this strategy is to promote another webmasters' product or
service (something you can get behind) to your subscribers or
customers. No matter which method you choose, doing this
quarterly can double your yearly income. If you haven't tried it
yet, start by keeping a notebook of possible joint venture
candidates and contact them on schedule.
There you have it. A real marketing maintenance schedule that
works. If you don't already have your own schedule, I invite you
to print this one out and use it as your own. As you find new
marketing resources that work, add them in and remember, always
keep your appointments!
