Creating Wealth on the Internet

In creating wealth on the Internet, you can start small. You can start part-time. You don't have to risk much in the beginning. Go slowly. Test as you go. Learn as you go. This is how to test the waters before you jump in! Nobody should put in as much work to sell your product as you do. This is the same thing we tell those who write press releases. We tell them to do it all for the editor and make it as easy as possible for them to run the piece in their publication. In per-inquiry deals, you go to the station, listen to their problems, and try to help them out. It's a partnership where you help the station solve a problem, and the station helps solve your problem.

For example, there is one company that will pay you $200.00 whenever a web site owner gets a merchant account through you, if you sign up with the program. If your web site gets just one web site owner to sign up for a merchant account every day, and you get $200.00 every day, 365 days a year, you would make $73,000.00 in one year! If you'd get involved in just two of these no work joint ventures every year, you could create an additional cash flow of $146,000.00.

Shape it up.

When they enter their e-mail address, instead of bothering him, it goes directly to his account at one of these companies. They get the information automatically. That's the first response. When they come to your website, that picture of money will instantly grab their attention. Words take a few seconds to set in . . . but a picture of money is an instantly recognized icon, and is instantly exciting! The key is doing as much work as you can on your product and ad copy so the catalog house doesn't have to. It's how to get your product noticed by the catalog house agent who looks at hundreds of products every month!

'There is no genius in life like the genius of energy and activity.'

This keeps a certain amount of money coming in. While this is going on, you still have that initial offer out there attracting more new customers. These customers are added to your list of back-end customers. Every time you get a new order from a new customer you have another name to add to your back-end list.

Remember what it was like when YOU started. You might have known very little, perhaps even nothing, about a computer. You might have been quaking in your boots when it came to the idea of getting on the Internet. You should put the ads together for them. If the ad works and your offer made them money, they may even call you and want you to get them another item to put into their catalog!

Discuss your Situation: Open the pressure valve. If you are "really" stressed out, open your mouth and let out the pressure. Talking is one way to do this. Sometimes the quickest way to ease writer's tension is to discuss it calmly with someone else. It is a great way to depressurize yourself. And, do not forget to laugh. Laughing at a stressful situation can restore calm and give you a more productive perspective. They DO try to achieve maximum clarity and impact of key points, even if it is at the expense of eliminating lower-priority points.

I have to say that one of the most profitable things that you can do is work with charities. In the "brick and mortar world," which is how we refer to things off-line (not on the Internet), there are people who put together charity auctions, sales, and benefits that take a percentage of the sales as a standard procedure and generate the rest of the profit for the charity. Yes! You could be the next Internet millionaire! Over 200 million people are on the Internet RIGHT NOW. Some experts are saying that number will QUADRUPLE in the next few years.

'All good is gained by those whose thought and life are kept pointed close to one main thing, not scattered abroad upon a thousand.'

Study ads that have offered similar products. This will give you a flood of creative ideas that will help you make even more money any time you want! It's how to strengthen your moneymaking muscles! Studying ads that are running continually will help you decide what can work for you. It will give you ideas you can use. As time goes by and you continue to study ads, you get stronger in your ability to recognize what's good and what's not. Your ad writing skills get stronger and stronger, just as a bodybuilder's weightlifting makes his muscles stronger over time. By studying successful ads, you can avoid duplicating unsuccessful efforts.

DON'T reduce your type size beyond what is tolerable and reasonable. Clarity and readability are more important than trying to squeeze in low-priority points. Remember, not everyone is able to, or has the tolerance level, to read small type. Another thing you should remember is that you can't just cross your fingers and haphazardly slap together loads of cheap items and mail them off to editors. They won't take it seriously, for good reason. You have to put together a professional package. When you read through a magazine and read stories about successful products and individuals, a professional publicity company generated almost every single one of those stories.

Just go to any moneymaking or opportunity magazine, and you'll find a half dozen of the largest companies that are in the business to do this. Eventually, your search will lead you to dozens more of the same kinds of companies. Why are "How To" products the hottest products you can sell? First of all, the profit margin is incredibly high. Informational products have high-perceived value because of the information presented in the product. Many informational products, such as books, manuals, and reports, are very cheap to have produced.

The other benefit, of course, is that when people are buying charity items at a charity auction, they routinely bid pretty low. We've seen things go dirt cheap at these charity auctions that really shouldn't. They know that the item is donated. It didn't cost anything for the church. If somebody donates a bicycle that's worth $150 and only gets $70 bid on it, they don't care because it didn't cost the church anything and the church got $70 out of it. The guy that donated it gets to write off $150 if they do it right. It works out for everybody in that respect.

While the joke of the day idea has already been used, there are lots of other things you could e-mail every single day. You could use a tip of the day. A gardening tip, a golfing tip, a fishing tip, etc. You could send a recipe of the day. Now, electronic marketing is just using a computer, your web site, and the Internet to do those two things. You're getting new customers to buy from you one time and, then, you're keeping them coming back again and again. Once you truly understand this principle, it can make you a tremendous amount of money.

The #1 problem in the last Christmas season - the #1 complaint of people who were doing Christmas shopping on the Internet - was the lack of customer service. They couldn't get answers to their questions. Therefore, the larger your competition is, and the more successful they are, the more customers they have and the harder it is for them to give good customer service.
