Internet Marketing: Profit Generating Ideas

Below are some ideas that you can start implementing today for generating sales/profit from your website:
1. Keep people at your web site for as long as possible. Allow them to download free e-books, sign up for contests, use free online services, etc. This will help increase your sales. You could use pop-up pages, pop-under pages and exit pages too. But be warned, this can annoy some visitors.
2. Anticipate any objections your visitors may have about your product’s offer. You must research your target audience's needs and wants. For example, your target audience may not like businesses that use free web site domains. Another example, they may not like to buy from web sites that don't accept offline checks.
3. Remember not to use outrageous or unbelievable claims in your ad copy. People are too savvy online and won't believe you. For example, don't say, "You can make 1 million dollars in 2 days!" Another example, "You can fold paper at home and make up to $2000 a day!"
4. Pick a good name for your business and product. Your names should be memorable and describe the kind of product you're offering. Names that rhyme are easy to remember. If you're selling information products you may want the word "publisher" in your business name. You also don't want your name to have any offensive words or phrases in it.
5. Solve your customers’ complaints by being quick and friendly. The faster you respond, the more your customers feel you care about them. You could set up a handy FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list. You could also add more ways they contact you faster, like by e-mail, phone, web message system, fax, instant message, cell phone, etc.
6. Never think your customers are satisfied with their purchase. You should be constantly finding new ways to better your product and service. You could give the free surprise gifts, survey your customers, take all their opinions and questions seriously, set up focus groups to improve your product, etc.
7. Market yourself, as well as your product. You could write articles, e-books, do free consulting, do speaking engagements, etc. You could tell your prospects a little bit about your personal history too. You could tell them when you were born, where you grew up, tell them about your parents and other family members, etc.
8. Find new target audiences for your products or services. For example, if you're selling coffee to stores, try to sell it to coffee shops too. You should always be opening new profit streams for your business. Try to brainstorm new profit ideas at least once a week.
9. Use the phrase "invest in our product" instead of the words "buy" or "purchase". This makes prospects feel they're investing in their future if they buy. You could also tell people how much others have got back from your product by publishing testimonials of people who have made money or reaped the benefits.
10. Create offline affiliates to market your product. Have people sign up at your web site to sell your products through "house parties". You could have people taking their laptops to parties and selling through their affiliate links. They will get paid just like they would online.
11. Use logos and slogans for your business. They make it easier for people to remember and identify your business. For example, how many times have you had a problem and the first thing that popped into your mind is some business’ logo or slogan. It's almost like an automatic reaction.
12. Use the word "fast" in your ad. People want fast results, fast delivery, fast ordering, etc. Nowadays, we usually value our time more than our money. For example, you could say, "Our product works fast!" Another example, "Our product comes with fast shipping options."
13. Use the word "guaranteed" in your ad. People want to be assured they are not risking their hard-earned money buying your product. For example, you could say, "Our product comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee!" Another example would be, "Don't forget our product comes with a lifetime guarantee!"
14. Use the word "limited" in your ad. People want to own or receive things that are exclusive or rare because they are considered to be more valuable. For example, you could say, "This special edition will be limited to the first 500 who order!" Another example would be, "Order before (date) to get this limited version of our e-book!"
15. Use the word "easy/simple" in your ad. People want easy ordering, easy instructions, easy to use, easy payments, etc. For example, you could say, "It's the easiest way to lose weight!" Another example would be, "It's easy to order - just click here and fill out your information!"
16. Use the word "testimonial" in your ad. People want to see believable proof before they buy your product. It should be reputable and specific proof. For example, you could say, "Check the hundreds of testimonials we have received!" Another example would be, "All these testimonials below were given voluntarily without payment!"
17. Use the words "discount/sale" in your ad. People want to find bargains. They could be rebates, one time sales, percentage offers, get-one-free offers, etc. For example, you could say, "Get a 50% rebate if you order before (date)!" Another example would be, "Order before our buy-one-get-one-free sale ends!"
18. Use the word "free" in your ad. People want free incentives before they do business with you. They could be free books, accessories, services, etc. For example, you could say. " Free shipping with every order over $50!" Another example would be, "Order within the next 5 minutes to get 3 extra bonuses free!"
19. Use the words "you/your" in your ad. People want to know that you are talking to them. This'll make them feel important and attract them to read the whole ad. For example, you could say, "You could be the winner in our next contest!" Another example would be, "You are experiencing the benefits already, aren't you?"
20. Use the word "important" in your ad. People do not want to miss important information that could affect their lives. People will stop and take notice. For example, your headline could read, "Important Warning!..." Another example could be, "Important! Stop And Take Notice!..."
21. Use the word "new" in your ad. People want new products or services that will improve their lives like new information, tastes, technology, results, etc. For example, you could say, "Learn a new revolutionary way to lose weight!" Another example would be, "New! Just Released!..."
22. Show your prospects how much enthusiasm you have for your product and business. If you're convincing enough, they will be enthusiastic too. For example, you could say, "I'm so EXCITED about our new product!" Another example would be, "I can't wait for you to experience these benefits!"
23. End your sales letter or ad copy with a strong closing. It could be a free bonus, a discount price, a benefit reminder, an ordering deadline, etc. For example, you could say, "P.S. Remember, you'll get 5 bonuses valued at $245!" Another example would be, "P.S. Like mentioned earlier, if you order today you'll get 45% off!"
24. Please your complaining customers. You can refund their money, give them a discount, give them a free gift, solve the problem quickly, etc. For example, you could say, "I understand how you must feel, so I'm giving you a complete refund." Another example would be, "I’ve been in your shoes before. I'm going to give you a 50% discount on your next purchase."
25. Make your customers get excited about your business and they will tell their friends. Give them a free vacation certificate, a coupon, etc.
26. Give your prospects extra confidence so they will order. Use endorsements, testimonials, a strong guarantee or warranty, etc. For example, you could say, "I'm going to allow you to try out our product for a full 60 days without billing your card!"
27. Build your opt-in list by allowing your visitors to sign up for a free e-zine, e-books, software, contests, sweepstakes, etc. For example, you could say, "Subscribe to our free e-zine and get entry into our weekly contest!" Another example would be, "Sign up to our free newsletter and get 10 surprise bonuses!"
28. Give your prospects or customers a breath of fresh air. Don't be afraid to design your web site and ad copies to be different from everyone else’s. For example, you could apply a circus theme to your web site. Another example would be to design your web site like an e-book with a table of contents, title page, glossary, etc.
29. Allow your customers to get part of your total offer right after they order. If you have to ship the item, make one of your bonuses available online. For example, if you are selling a printed book, you could have an online version available for them to read right after they order.
30. Write and submit articles to e-zine publishers or webmasters. If you want it to be published, it should read like an article and not like an ad. You could also offer the publisher extra incentives like giving them a freebie, affiliate commissions, compliments, original content, etc.

Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini

sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money

online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or

money to set up, and once you've got one up and

running, you can sit back and just collect money from

all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set

up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and

money to set up. So why is it that so few people

actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually

turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that

runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************

YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!

*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael

Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course

that will walk you through the process of creating a

killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll

also teach you how to actually start making money with

it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your

mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The

best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more

about that later. First, let's talk about the videos

themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the

videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=14654

*************************************************

OVERALL QUALITY

*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos

that you access from your web browser. Michael uses

Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the

premier software program for creating screen capture

tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button

on the first video was the incredible production

quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture

videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone

make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his

wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the

highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing

product. They sound like they were recorded in a

professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of

seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he

set out to create something different in order to

raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you

see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll

agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************

THE ACTUAL VIDEOS

*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously

it's impossible to list every single thing here,

but I want you to get a feel for what each one

covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the

videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com/?thankyou-page=14654

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as

well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can

expect from the course, and why it's structured the

way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,

and so he spends some time establishing his

credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest

successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.

Michael explains that, in order for you to get value

from the teachings, you need to have faith that the

teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the

end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us

product developers. If you want people to accept you

as an authority on any subject, you first need to

establish your credibility with the reader. That way

he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're

telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini

site marketing. This will set the foundation that all

future learning will rest upon, so it's important to

pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different

from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones

they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating

mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of

kicking things off, and building the foundation for

the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the

entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build

an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best

way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach

you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other

opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at

the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in

rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most

marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of

money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process

that will make sure that people actually receive your

email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you

need to know to start building a massive opt-in list

right away. This will probably be the first video that

you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the

possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create

your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART

ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.

Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales

copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the

mysterious process of writing words that make people

whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate

to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell

the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that

practically forces your readers to go through your

entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make

your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your

success than the ability to write killer sales copy.

Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as

well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART

TWO

This video dives right into the individual components

of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create

the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter

that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your

reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the

whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want

to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so

they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people

to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal

the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer

instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,

especially considering that this course is not

specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is

definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational

products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE

DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you

must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.

The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,

and letting the site itself do all the work, including

the work of instantly delivering the product to the

customer.

This video will walk you through the process of

automating your product delivery, so you can just

relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once

you have this automated system set up, you never have

to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for

almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced

marketers. Michael dives into some of the most

effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a

thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of

your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it

make your customer spend even more money with you.

The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This

one will surprise you when you realize how much money

you've been leaving on the table by skipping this

step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to

100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and

running, this video will make a big difference for you

right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'

strategies to increase your income literally

overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES

FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful

marketers have in common, it's that they have a great

affiliate program. They create a program that allows

other people to make good money by promoting their

products, and they get to just sit back and relax,

while everyone else is doing the hard work of

promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated

sales people working hard to make you money, then

you're going to love this video. Michael will teach

you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up

very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates

(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra

attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough

to convince people to sign up, and what you can do

instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of

your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you

should do. You also need to know what mistakes you

should avoid. Michael has already made these costly

mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to

capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a

mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your

mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this

mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your

bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your

long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A

PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of

designing a product line that will make you a TON of

money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,

which is why this important concept (which was taken

from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you

can't just have a single front end product, and you'll

know exactly what to do in order to get your customer

to keep buying more and more expensive products from

you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who

wants to make a lot of money from their online

business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR

WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn

all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch

freelancers to help you create your mini site empire

in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything

that mini sites require. For example, it's really

tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also

mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer

copywriter, on top of also creating the product

itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be

efficient, and begin making money as fast as

possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it

happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,

as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls

to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR

WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your

mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to

it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing

and mysterious parts of making money online IF you

don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a

lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,

you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get

targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a

dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of

other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know

what to do right away to begin driving targeted

visitors to your mini site.

DELUXE VIDEOS

*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and

has more content than most 300 dollar home study

courses. And did I mention that it's free?

If you decide that you want to continue your

education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you

The deluxe course contains four full-length videos

that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here's a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************

VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END

THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT

*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in

itself. It walks you though the entire process of

setting up a back end that is completely automated

using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to

automatically remove a person from your prospect list

after he buys, and then insert him into your customer

list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence

will start promoting your back end products

automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like

all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a

back end that works hard for you while you're out

creating new mini sites and developing new products.

This video will show you how.

*************************************************

VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS

*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through

some of his best tactics for growing a massive list

from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to

add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what

you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get

the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just

offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you

five different things you can offer your readers to

get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the

opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn

about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a

bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your

list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to

this video over and over again.

*************************************************

MAKE YOU MONEY

In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his

best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of

any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT

seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close

attention to this one.

Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,

and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael

shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense

that you'd want to make the most amount of money

possible from it.

In this video, you'll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could

double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your

average order (which puts more money into your

that will instantly increase your income (with no

machine!
