The
internet marketing business can sometimes be a real adventure......
Much like panning for gold!
When it works, and when you find gold in
your pan, it's a lot of fun! Even when there's no gold in your
pan, you're learning.
You're learning how to pan, where
to pan, and even what
size pan to use.
So, I've been doing a lot of panning lately. And
I've found a lot of gold. (Coming up with successful projects seems
to get easier the more you do!) But more important than finding
gold, I've come up with what I think is a better way to find gold in
the first place. And that way is to . . .

"Sell Something To The Other Gold
Miners!" |
|
While all the other miners are knee deep in mud
panning for gold, I want to be the one standing on dry land
selling them the pans (or any other supplies they need).
This is the way fortunes were made in the Old
West. (Sears Roebuck and Levi Jeans to name just two!)
And it is the way fortunes are still being made
today. By selling the tools miners (or entrepreneurs) need to find
their fortune.
That's what the "ultimate" product is all
about. Showing
YOU how to be the one who's selling the tools (Information)
needed to make money.
Here's how it works:
You know all those books (or e-books), reports,
and manuals you see advertised in the back of most magazines and on
the Internet? The ones that show you "How To Start Your Own
Direct Mail Business", or "How To Start Your Own Newsletter",
"How To Start Your Internet eCommerce Business", or "How To
Make $40 An Hour With Your Video Camera"?
Well…Those books, reports and articles are the
back-bone of the direct marketing business. They have been around
forever, and will continue to be, for years to come, one of the
easiest and most profitable
ways for people to get into the direct response business.

From Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com
"Information is the key to success. Whether you are giving it
or receiving it... whether you are selling it or buying it,
the RIGHT information can make you a millionaire... In both
your bank account, and YOUR mind!"
Jeff Bezos,
CEO & Founder of Amazon.com
|
It's a fact. Ask almost any successful
entrepreneur and they'll ALL tell you that they started their road
to millions by utilizing the RIGHT information (whether it was
selling it or buying it)! You have to first learn... and then teach
others.
This is how ALL successful people live their
lives. (That's why super successful people in society always
come out with an autobiography or books about their lives and
experiences... FIRST THEY LEARN
(trial and error and from their own mistakes and other's),
THEN THEY TEACH (so other people can learn and benefit).
Let's face it, we are in the
"information age". Most of the newest millionaires in the
past several years have ALL been associated in some way, shape or
form to BOTH, the Internet and the selling/buying of informational
goods!
There is no doubt about it. People will always be
willing to spend money for information and ideas that will make them
wealthier, wiser, and happier.

Millionaires
All Agree!
"Selling information is a Billion Dollar Industry
that will be around forever!" |
|
- Forbes magazine, September 1996 |
"My company has made over 10 million dollars selling
how-to informational books, reports and guides." |
|
- Mark Spice, International Direct, Inc.
(excerpt from INC Magazine, January 1997) |
"It's funny... I never thought I could have made over 200
million dollars by simply selling one how-to book!...
Heck, I would have been happy with $200 bucks! |
|
- Ted Nicholas, "How To Form Your Own
Corporation Without A Lawyer For Under $75"
|
|
It is these stories, plus the ease of
actually doing it, that tempts so many people to start out in this
business by promoting various "how-to" books and reports.
It's also a well known fact that there is
an estimated 57.2 million people wanting to get into the
direct market/mail/response business each year and most of these
people will get their start selling how-to publications.
In addition, according to NUA Internet Surveys,
by the year 2001, there will easily be well over 340 million
Internet users worldwide (and growing at a rate of 6.2% each
month!) and roughly 20%-25% will be interested in starting a
home-based Internet business!
The Internet has created opportunities for
individuals like you & me to set up a business in the comfort of our
own home and market to millions of people worldwide. It is
just about the easiest place ever created to make money. That's
because it now costs almost nothing to reach millions of
prospects.
So, what good is this to you?... How can you take advantage of this
once-in-a-lifetime Internet gold rush? (Let's
face it, the Internet is truly a modern gold rush. Never again will
any of us be able to make so much money in so little time with very
little effort! - NEVER!)
Now the great news is you can profit from this & you are about to
discover how to cash in on the most profitable business of the
modern world: Selling Information!
That's right my friend, selling information
products on the internet is the
quickest and easiest way to earn a lot of money,
the honest way.
Even The Richest Man In The World Does It!
While I just revealed to you one of the best kept
secrets for having a successful business (especially Internet
business), it's now time to reveal Bill Gates' secret sales
recipe!
Currently, the richest man in the world is Microsoft's CEO, Bill
Gates. A couple years ago, it was estimated that he made
over
32.4 million dollars a DAY!
(Yes, you read that correctly. A DAY, not monthly or yearly - every
day!). I'm assuming he makes more now... he's been the "richest man
in the world" for 5 years running and the distance between number
one and two just gets wider and wider.
Anyway, let me share with you some of Microsoft's
and Bill Gates' secrets for success.
Bill Gates' Success Recipe
Obviously, there are many variables leading to anyone's success,
including Bill Gates', but here is the "meat and potatoes":
First, Bill Gates is the "boss" (or one of
them) of the company;
he works for himself.
(You've got to go into business for yourself if you are ever going
to be financially successful. You've got to stop making your boss
rich and start making money for YOU!)
Second, he makes and sells products that are in
very high demand.
He knows what people need and want --then he
solves their problems quickly and easily. (People are
impatient and want their problems solved now, not next year.)
Lastly and most importantly, he sells products that have
very low costs, yet extremely high mark-ups.
(You have to know your margins. You'll never make money buying for
$5 and selling for $8. The so-called "$3 profit" will go straight
into your expenses... which means that you may actually
lose money with such small mark-ups!)
This naturally leads us to the question of:
What Does Microsoft Actually Sell?
Well, I'll give you a hint - it starts with an
"I" and ends with
"N" . . . Give up? . . . Information!
Yes, you guessed right, Microsoft sells information - plain and
simple!
They make programs (that are in high demand), put
them on disks/CD-ROMs (or downloadable off the Internet) that come
with a book/manual (low cost), and sell them world wide with high
mark-ups for almost
pure profit.
Heck, even the second richest man in the world is
in the "information business"! The CEO of Oracle, Lawrence
Ellison, creates products that ALLOW information to be seen
and used.
"Is Bill Gates or Lawrence Ellison a genius?" . .
. maybe. "Is it very difficult?" . . . no way. "Can anybody do it?"
. . . yes! "Can
YOU do it?" . . .
most definitely
YES!

No Shipping, No Packaging, and No Inventory Needed!
Listen, one of the biggest problems I used to
face before the Internet was the fact that I had to ship and package
all of my products. It was such a pain in the neck!
I always had to have inventory of my products
(which cost a lot of upfront cash). Then, either I had to waste
time everyday packaging and shipping the products, or I had to
pay someone to do it for me (either way it was a lose/lose
situation because I either wasted my time on printing out labels,
packaging products and waiting in line at the post office... or I
had to deal with incompetent and flaky employees!)
And get this, the worst part of it all was
that I was a complete SLAVE to my business. There was no way
in hell I could ever take a long vacation (more than a few days)
because either I
physically couldn't (because I had to take care of day-to-day
business) or I mentally couldn't (because I was always
worried I'd come back to a huge mess of paperwork or other
problems).
Yeah, sure... I could have just hired an army of
people. But who wants to deal with the extra headaches or overhead.
Listen, I don't know about you, but I got into the home-based
Internet business to
REDUCE my stress, not increase it!
Everything Is Downloadable!
Anyway, thanks to the wonder of the Internet, my entire business
is on total automatic pilot (thank God!). The cool part
is that you can do the same
when you market the Ultimate E-Package.
Everything is completely downloadable so you never have to
worry about inventory, packaging and shipping, employees or any
of that. Plus, you can run your business from anywhere in
the world. All you need is a computer and Internet access (which
you ALREADY have!)

"Why Invent Mediocrity,
When You Can Copy Genius?" |
|
 |
|
That's an excellent quote I picked up from a
fellow marketer a few years back. What this means is that you should
see what is working and try to duplicate it. Why go
through all the trouble of inventing something new, that you don't
even know will ever work, when you can easily learn from and
duplicate something that has been a proven success?
Why Resell Rights?
There are huge profits to be made from selling information that
you don't have to spend the time writing, recording or whatever.
You can now profit almost
instantly selling Info Products that others took months,
years to create and develop.
Why go through all the trouble of creating a new product,
that you don't even sure will ever sell, when you can easily get
reprint rights to the latest, proven, hot
selling programs.
Let's face it. Writing a good, sellable book takes a huge amount
of time and effort. Not everyone takes pleasure in it. Creating
software takes special skills and patience. If you can't write
and can't program, does it mean you can't start a profitable
online business? Absolutely not.
That's where Resell/Reprint Rights come in. You don't have to
write a word or script - just purchase the resell rights to
someone else's work and you're ready to profit on-line.
Even if you're selling other products, including your own, it's
a proven fact that those making the serious money offer more
than one product. But to keep creating new products is not
always easy. You can now have multiple streams of income by
purchasing resell/reprint rights to complementary products that
would make a good bonus, addition, or a profitable back-end for
your business.
Selling Information Products
This type of selling is probably
the easiest way to make fast money without huge overhead costs. And
you also have the ability to sell unlimited amounts of information
products to as many customers as you can sell them too. But, you
must make sure that the information products that you have in stock
come with something called Master Resale Rights.
Master Resale Rights makes
it possible within the product terms to resell not only the product
itself, but also the right to resell it to those customers you sell
it to.
While there are also
Standard/Basic/Full Resale Rights, the definition of this is much
different. These types of resellable products only give you, the
original purchaser of the product to resell it, and not those you
sell it to.
Even though Standard/Basic/Full
Resale Rights is not a bad thing, having the Master Resale Rights
will most certainly bring in more profits based on the fact that
your customers can also make money with them as well as learning
something at the same time.
With that said, you need to be
selective on which resale rights products you buy. What you need to
be looking for is a product that is 1. newer, and 2. unique. These
criteria usually make for the best sellers. The reason for this is
quite simple.
Lots of people jump online
searching for an opportunity that will make them some fast cash. The
information product business excels in this capacity. That's why so
many hop onto the resale rights information selling bandwagon.
However, many fail at running a successful information e-business
because they have no clue as to what they need to be selling! Or
even how to go about selecting a killer product that will generate
excellent profits for them without costing them an arm and a leg.
As I said before, you have to be
extremely picky. And be wary of "hyped" up sites. Just because the
site says that the product is A #1, doesn't mean that it is. There
are lots of stinkers out there. Remember that the owner of the
website that is in essence "pushing" a specific product are in the
same boat you are.
They want to earn money. Things
like "I'll be raising the price soon", "Time Sensitive Offer",
countdown clocks, and similar are all marketing tactics to get you
to purchase right away by creating an urgency. It's a good tactic
and it works like you wouldn't believe! But being aware that these
are simply techniques will help you in choosing a good product as
apposed to one that totally sucks eggs.
Along with those urgency
techniques, also understand that not everything presented on a
"sales page" is what it seems on the surface. Take for instance
testimonials.
It's important for you to know how
some businesses get these and why. First, let's discuss how they get
them. A lot of times, authors of products will offer a free copy of
their product in exchange for a testimonial. And who wouldn't love
something they had to pay nothing for?
In some cases, getting that free
copy and providing a positive testimonial is a requirement, and not
a request. Still yet, other times, the author will ask for feedback
to perform final "tweaks" on the product before the official
release, and then as a follow up, will ask those that participate
for a nice little testimonial to which they offer the participants a
"link back" to their own page. It's free publicity. And another darn
good way to gain your trust and get you to believe more firmly in
the product so that you purchase it.
Furthermore, the reason why those in the online business need these
testimonials is to gain your trust in them and their product. Word
of mouth carries a lot of weight when it comes to customers
purchasing something from you. Again, another marketing tactic that
works, and works well.
Always remember that everything you
see isn't always so cut-and-dry. There are little things going on
"behind the scenes" that you don't know about. Are these things
dishonest, maybe. To a certain degree. But there are those that
offer testimonials that are completely genuine.
Are there sales pages out there
that actually speak the truth about the products they are selling?
Sure. The unfortunate part is that it's very difficult to know the
difference. And the reason for this is that some internet marketers
really know what they're doing.
Now,
where can you get high quality products for a good deal? One of the
best places is through private membership websites. These types of
sites are stocked with plenty of resale right information products
to get you up and going. Plus, they almost always have quite a
number of products that are up to date, or just released recently
available for you to download.
Collecting your information products this way will most definitely
save you money in the long run. Take for example Digital Dollars

Add to this the fact that there are
products you can actually choose from and decide which you feel are
worth selling to your customers. Plus, when you resell these
products, which most, if not all, come with resale rights, you stand
to make 100% profits from them, excluding selling fees from
companies such as PayPal, eBay, etc. I guarantee that having just
one high quality resource for your information products, as Digital
Dollars 101 is, will bring you a much bigger return on your initial
investment of having that membership on a monthly basis when you put
your selling skills to work.
There is yet another way to get a
decent amount of resellable information products for the cost of but
one. You can purchase a "package" of them. Whether this is done by a
special sale, or a specific product, you will always get your
money's worth if you spend your money in the right places.
With packaged information products,
you have to again be very selective. Many resellers the method I
like to call "recycling". This is where they will take a bunch of
older products and repackage them giving the overall effect of this
package being something new. While in essence it is something new,
(the outer package), what's inside is just the same old stuff.
The best way to avoid buying those
information product titles you already have is to read the sales
page and look for a list of products included within the package.
Most will have this information up there, including an image. If it
doesn't, skip it and move on to the next one. If all it has is a
title, skip it. You need an honest description of the package so you
can determine whether or not you have those exact products already
so you're not "double buying".
There is one other additional way
that can bring you in some pretty outstanding profits. And that is
writing up and creating your very own information product. It's
really not as difficult as it might sound. And, everyone has a story
inside them just itching to get out. Even you!
If you're new to writing your own
content, which you most likely are :-), there are many products that
can help you in this area. You'll find them within the
products at our Membership area, and at our
