Internet Marketing Resources

|
If you want to build an internet business, then you should have the proper tools. These are some suggestions of tools that you should be or could be using to build your own Back Up Plan business.
The easiest way to start is to build a website around a topic that you know something about (hint, not your opportunity).
Try not to look at this as the website that is going to make you rich but as a testing ground to learn the skills you need to know to build successful websites that can make you rich.
At some point you may have multiple web pages that draw visitors from multiple areas of the internet.

If you have not done so already, then the first thing that you will want to do is get yourself a free blog page. This is a great place to start out your internet content that will be based on what you learn as you go. This can be based on an extensive knowledge or passion that you may have and want to share and to connect with others.
One of the best ways to attract folks to you is to share as much information as you can to help them out in a particular field of interest that you may specialize in.
There are many Blog companies to choose from, Blogger, Squarespace, Hubbpages, Squidoo, etc. So you will be able to choose the look and feel of the company that is right for your message.
We recommend WordPress as it has the most upgradable features and can allow you to build quit an extensive free site.
The best part is to have fun and get started on sharing your message and creating your own web of content, so that when you get your website set up, you will be able to link your information and resources.
If this is all new to you, then please let me know if you need any assistance in getting set up. You can also learn more about anything on this page in the attraction marketing university.

If you have not done so already, consider grabbing and locking in a name that you can use to market yourself or a company name like home based business builders.
Many people suggest to get your name locked in as quickly as possible. The more time that you spend on the internet and begin to create a presence of your own, the more important that it will be to have your own material.
This is very easy to do, and can be done when you purchase this site right through the set up process. You can go to godaddy and get purchase a name for about 10 bucks a year.
Or you can go over to GDI, global domains international and get a name for 10 bucks a month, but you will recieve a $1 referral income for each person on your team that you refer over to them.
So the choice is up to you, but you should consider doing this as soon as you can come up with a couple of great ideas.

Without a doubt one of the best tools for growing your home business. If you plan to expand beyond your family and friends, you should be speaking to folks all across the country, or even countries.
Skype is simply a phone connection that you use over the internet. If you have a laptop and a wireless card, you can literally talk for hours to anyone in the US and Canada from anywhere in the world. And if your building on a budget, starting at $2.95 per month shouldn't be a problem.
You can pick up a set of headphones at any office supply store, although you can order a really nice set from Skype. I have found that the usb connector is really the way to go, especially if you are going to do any recording with your microphone.
When you start making phone calls using an almost free phone and headphones, you will always want to be on the phone talking with folks that are interested in working with you in your business.
Another note on Skype; make sure that you leave your online presence in the off mode. You may get undesirable solicitations if you leave your connection open to the world.
I will provide 'almost' unlimited support to anyone on my team that is on Skype.

Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?
Posted by Tom Kulzer (AWeber CEO)
Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person’s need for information quickly!
But, after you’ve delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?
If you are like most Internet marketers, you don’t.
When you don’t follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him.
Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn’t receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.
Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?
Following up with leads is more than just a process - it’s an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don’t follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.
Consistent follow up gets results!
When I first started marketing and following up with prospects, I used a follow up method that I now call the “List Technique.” I had a large database containing the names and e-mail addresses of people who had specifically requested information about my products and services. These prospects had already received my first letter by the time they requested more information, so I used the company’s latest news as a follow up piece.
I would write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information from me. While this probably did help me win a few additional orders, it wasn’t a very good follow up method. Why isn’t the “List Technique” very effective?
* The List Technique isn’t consistent. Proponents of the List Technique tend to only send out follow up messages when their companies have “big news”.
* List Technique messages don’t give the potential customer any additional information about the product or service in question. He can’t make a more informed buying decision after receiving a newsletter! If someone is wondering whether your company sells the best knick-knacks, what does he care that you’ve just moved your headquarters?
* List Technique messages convey a “big list” mentality to your potential customers. When I used to write follow up messages using the List Technique, I was writing news bulletins to everyone I knew! I should have been sending a personal message to each individual who wanted to know more about my products.
What follow up method really works?
Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning.
First, you’ll need to develop your follow up messages. If you’ve been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter. Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn’t have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services!
Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services. Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message.
The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect’s mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately!
Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn’t yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn’t the right color or doesn’t have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it’s unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.)
The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don’t want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up!
Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions!
Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors’. You will make the sale!
Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don’t want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart.
Following up effectively seems complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! So many potential customers are lost because of poor follow up - don’t you want to be one of the few to get it right?
