I'm an Internet Marketing Guru

Written by Richard Wall


I trained as an accountant so I'm not used to being excited about my work.

I've changed careers and I'm now an Internet marketing guru. I've got allrepparttar right tools in my bag... I've written an eBook, I have a direct response web site AND my very own opt-in newsletter. I've also joined some great affiliate programs. In short, I know what I'm doing and I can teach others to dorepparttar 121690 same. All I have to do is sit back and watchrepparttar 121691 money roll in. I'm excited!

I'll just check my hit counter for today. Hang on, there must be a zero missing... they must mean 50 hits not 5. And how many eBook sales today? Only one. That's odd - I've got some great testimonials forrepparttar 121692 eBook and I've told loads of people about it. And only $40 in affiliate sales so far today. The affiliate programs are for some ofrepparttar 121693 best Internet marketing products you can find. What's going wrong?

1. I'm more excited than most of my potential customers. 2. There aren't enough of them.

Having great products and a great web site is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard if I don't have traffic. It's a bit like me opening a McDonald's halfway up Mount Everest; however good my burgers are, I won't get many customers.

OK, so I'd better downgrade my status. I'm no longer an Internet marketing guru. I just know a lot more than someone starting out with an online business. Now I come to think about it,repparttar 121694 real gurus don't even call themselves 'gurus' or even 'experts'. And none of them reachedrepparttar 121695 lofty status of respectability in a few weeks; it took months and in most cases years. Most of them say they are still learning.

By following this simple rule, you can develop a whole new sales strategy and increase your sales. In some cases this can actually save you fromrepparttar 121690 deep dark pit ofrepparttar 121691 failed business. If you want to make it inrepparttar 121692 real business world you better know these 10 important keys ofrepparttar 121693 "Customer Nature".

1) Why are most of us here? That's right, we're here to make money onrepparttar 121694 internet. PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE MONEY! Does your product offer them a way to make their money back?

2) WE HAVE THE LOWEST PRICE OR YOU MONEY BACK! How many time have you seen this? A million, two million? You know why? Because it works. People want to get or should I say "want to think that they're getting"repparttar 121695 lowest price onrepparttar 121696 market. One ofrepparttar 121697 best approaches to this isrepparttar 121698 "110%" Philosophy. Offer you customer a refund plus 10% if they find it cheaper. You will find (especially if it has to be shipped back, or if it's less than $50.00) that forrepparttar 121699 small amount you lose on returns, you make much more onrepparttar 121700 idea that you arerepparttar 121701 rock bottom price.
