"Hitting The Brick Wall...And Not A Dent" by Dan Farrell

You have been slaving away at your computer designing a web site, pickingrepparttar right affiliate programs, network marketing programs, submitting torepparttar 120929 search engines, directories, safe lists, FFA's or even buying some targeted advertising with ezines or email lists.

Now your ready to quit! You have more traffic to your site or your affiliate/mlm replicated sites but little or no money coming in. However, lots of expenses.

And allrepparttar 120930 'experts' said it could be done this way. What's wrong?

What didn't you do that might put you overrepparttar 120931 top? At least, make more income than expenses, and forgetting about all your time.

This is what 1,000's of wanna-be net marketers are feeling, frustration, anger and discouragement.

So what do you do?

My advice is to copyrepparttar 120932 'experts' that are making a substantial living online. What Ken Evoy, Terry Dean, Jimmy D. Brown, Marlon Sandors, Declan Dunn, and many others do to create wealth online. Read their stuff. Determine where your focus should be. What market niche is in need of a product/service. Develop that product/service yourself or go in a joint venture with someone that already has developed it. A great search tool to use is Copernic. You can download a free copy at http//www.copernic.com It searches allrepparttar 120933 search engines at once and gives yourepparttar 120934 top results.

However,repparttar 120935 most important advice is not mine, but Tom Hopkins, a top sales trainer. He states, it isn't about your sales ability, marketing skills or ad copywriting, it's about lasting! Perseverance isrepparttar 120936 name of game in Internet Marketing but if you are heading uprepparttar 120937 wrong road or pursuingrepparttar 120938 same customer as 1,000's or 100,000's you are going to go down in flames.

After re-thinking your market plan or focus, it's time to find targeted prospects this niche market.

The first arerepparttar 120939 Search Engines. They are essentially free, even though it costs more and more to get a listing. (Yahoo! charges $199 just to get your site looked at). Butrepparttar 120940 major ones, Hotbot, Google, AltaVista, don't charge for you to add your URL. Butrepparttar 120941 only way you are going to get any traffic from them is to be listed inrepparttar 120942 top 30 for any keyword or keyword phrase. You are competing with thousands, if not millions of competing web sites for that keyword, so unless you plan to spend most of your time searching for this elusive grail... find a niche keyword or phrase that has little competition. I have seen my web pages steadily climb inrepparttar 120943 Search Engines using Michael Campbell's "Nothing But Net". He tells you how he made $750,000 inrepparttar 120944 first year selling cell phone accessories, and spent $0 on ads! http://nothing.alturl.com

Ezines. If you don't have one, start one. Do you enjoy a hobby or pasttime that others would like to read about? It's not that hard to create a newsletter even if you can't write. There are tons of free articles and resources onrepparttar 120945 net, just get started. Write me if you would like some help.

How To Quadruple Your Website Sales In Under 10 Hours

Written by Willie Crawford


Practically every webmaster I come across could easily increase his web sales. Some could generate ten timesrepparttar sales with only a few hours work. Yet, most seem oblivious to what they *need* to do to make this happen. They just plod along without implementing this one simple change, and expecting to miraculously start making a lot more sales from their website.

What is this one thing that practically any webmaster can do - today - to dramatically increaserepparttar 120928 conversions he gets from his website? Learn to write better copy!

I know, you're saying, "I knew that Willie, but writing copy is hard."

I've talked to some very high paid copywriters, and I've read what many more had to say. I own complete copywriting workshops on audio and videotape. They all sayrepparttar 120929 same thing. To learn to write good copy, you merely practice writing it. Some actually teach that you take a winning sales letter or ad, and you write it out over and over. Inrepparttar 120930 process of writing good copy over and over - perhaps hundreds of times, you begin to get a feel forrepparttar 120931 flow. Soon you seerepparttar 120932 patterns. Soonrepparttar 120933 things thatrepparttar 120934 high-priced copywriters are doing begin to jump out at you.

This isrepparttar 120935 secret to doing a lot of things byrepparttar 120936 way. Repetition isrepparttar 120937 mother of mastery. So you develop or copy a system, and then you do itrepparttar 120938 same way, over and over again. Soon it becomes a part of you. That's how I have practiced karate for over 20 years, and that's how you master copywriting. Let someone who is doing what you want to learn to do - show you, and then practice over and over again until their system is your.

There are some basics that are universals in good copywriting though that I'll cover here. For what I don't over in this short article, I am going to refer you to a system that I recommend to all of my private coaching clients. It breaks things down for you into a simple, easy to follow, 32-step, time-tested system.

One ofrepparttar 120939 things you must remember in all of your copywriting is to focus on benefits to your buyer rather than product features. Make a list of every feature that you can think of, and then take every item on that list and turn it into a benefit. So, for example, "available for download in PDF format" becomes "instant delivery so that you can use these killer techniques within minutes." Do that with every feature. Turn it into a benefit thatrepparttar 120940 customer *cares* about.

Many copywriters teach that people respond better to moving away from pain than they do to moving towards pleasure. So your copy should makerepparttar 120941 prospect acutely aware ofrepparttar 120942 pain he is in. For example, point out that without website visitors, nobody sees his website, and he just sits and waits, with absolutely no sales. Then go on to point out how your product solves that problem for him.

Notice I said "to him." What I mean there is that your copy needs to read as if you are speaking directly torepparttar 120943 reader. You are not writing for an audience of many. It's individuals that make decisions and you must communicate withrepparttar 120944 individual. It may help to imagine that individual sitting across from you. Some copywriters actually have a photo of their ideal prospect hanging onrepparttar 120945 wall across from them as they works. This keeps them focused on "who" they are "talking" to.

Have a guarantee that embodies complete risk reversal. All ofrepparttar 120946 risk ofrepparttar 120947 transaction should be on you. Your prospect should feel that there is no way he can loose. I do this with a full, one year, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee. That conveys that you know your product is good enough that it will deliver tremendous value. You should convey that if you don't deliver, you demand thatrepparttar 120948 customer ask for his money back, and he gets to keeprepparttar 120949 bonuses or gets something extra for his trouble.

With guarantees, also avoid time-frames that are too short. If you only give your customer 2 weeks to decide whether or not he likes your software, he will quickly decide that he probably doesn't. If he's like me, he probably downloads it into a folder on his computer and may not even get to look at it in those two weeks. Give you customer time to feel ownership ofrepparttar 120950 product and to seerepparttar 120951 benefit of using it.
