Increase Your Ebook Prices and Increase Your Income

Internet passive income No Comments

Are you just starting in your online business…or have
you in business for years online?  It really doesn’t
matter.  We all have to start somewhere…and the
majority of online entrepreneurs make a very similar
mistake.

For their first product, they create a $7 ebook…or
maybe they go way out on a limb with a $10 product.
Their concept is that with such a low price, it should be
easy to sell.

The truth is that you may or may not increase sales with
a low price.  I’ve tested prices and seen $19.95 do better
than $9.95 at times.  I’ve sold other products better at
$197 than they did at $47.  The most important aspects
are the real value and the perceived value of the product.

Here’s the rule you have to remember:
Good marketing can never beat bad math!

If your goal is $1,000 a week, you have to sell 100 copies
of that $10 product.  If you want $10,000 this month,
that’s 1,000 sales.  That’s a ton of sales!

Do the math!  Your goal might be to earn a million dollars
online.  If you’re selling $10 items, that’s 100,000 sales.
Wow…that’s a lot of customers.  If you’re selling $1,000
items, you only need 1,000 customers.

What if you were selling a $10,000 product?  Now you only
need 100 sales to reach your goal.  Don’t believe anyone
would buy that price?  That definitely would…and do…if
you provide them with enough value.

What if you sell 10 of your $10 product this week, you make
$100.  On that $1,000 product, you made $10,000.  Can you
live on $100?  Not likely.  Can you live on $10,000 a week?
I surely hope so, or we need to take a serious look at
your lifestyle!

What about customer service?  Taking care of 100,000
customers takes a large staff.  You only need a fraction
of the customer service staff with 1,000 customers.  In
addition, I’ve found the higher ticket customers in
general are more polite and request less refunds.

No matter what you’re selling, you still have to produce
sales copy.  You still have to write Adwords ads. You
still have to create your email follow-ups.  You still
have to find your affiliate partners.  With the higher
ticket items, you make more money for the same effort.

Why should you even have a low ticket item?  It’s a
lead generator.  That’s all it is.  Whenever I see a
product under $50, I immediately think lead generator
and wonder where the real profits are in the business.

The only problem left is how do you move up to higher
ticket items.  The first key is to constantly look for
ways to add more value to what you’re currently offering.
In addition, look for ways to also add to perceived
value of the product (sometimes called the thud factor).

The second key is to target affluent customers instead of
those who have no money.  Pick up a copy of the Robb
Report and similar magazines.  Visit country clubs in
your area.  Go visit higher scale stores.

I found targeting people with money very difficult at
first, because I had nothing before I started in business.
It was hard to imagine people spent $5,000 on golf
clubs, went to $25,000 marketing conferences, and paid
$250,000 for a membership to a golf club.

Yet, that’s one of the biggest changes you can make…a
change in your mindset.  In most businesses, people are
willing to spend money to get what they want.  And these
are some of the best customers you can ever have…if you
focus on them and deliver exactly what they’re looking for.

Drive 18 Times More Traffic To Your Site

Internet passive income No Comments

Let me set the record straight on one of the biggest
misleading understandings of article submissions.  Very
few article marketer’s really know how or why to get the
most out of their article marketing campaigns.  Many know
the true value of article submissions, but there are many
false ideas in the marketplace about article marketing.

Many article marketers fall prey into believing that one
article published in many sites, ezines, and newsletters
will benefit them by bringing in lots of traffic.  Well,
basically this idea is really only partially correct.
Yes it does help to get your word out to many places, but
there is a big difference between getting the same content
out to many places and getting unique content to many
places.

As most of us know Google is the king when it comes to
search engines.  Unfortunately sending the same article to
many Websites, ezines, and newsletters will not help you
with Google, but actually hurt you in the long run.  Why
you ask?  Becuase of Google’s “Duplicate Content Filter”.
Google’s duplicate content filter will screen out multiple
versions of your same article and will leave you with a
handful of inbound links to your site.  Inbound links to
your site are a key factor in search engine ranking.  The
more inbound links, the better your ranking.

Don’t be disappointed though. There are a couple of ways
you can beat this thing.  One way is to get enough sleep
for a week because your gonna need it when you have to sit
down and start writing hundreds, if not thousands, of
different article versions for you to submit.  Not too
practical is it?  I didn’t think so.  The other way is to
use a powerful, automated article submission software that
submits a unique article version to each publisher at the
click of a mouse. Say what?! Yes, that is correct. Article
Pro Software automatically submits a unique article to
hudreds of built in publishers at the click of a mouse.
I don’t know of any other article submission software that
provides such awesome features!

Yes there is one such article submission software that I
know of that is so powerful it can accomplish this daunting
task by filling out just one simple form.  Article Pro
Software creates a unique article every time.   By writing
only three different versions of your article, Article Pro
Software will randomly select paragraphs, keeping the same
format, and compile them into a unique article.  You can
produce literally hundreds of different article versions,
or thousands depending on the number of paragraphs.  The
“Duplicate Content Filter” is no longer a worry.

By submititng the same article to various publishers it
has been proven that the 300 inbound links generated
diminished to approximately 16 inbound links after several
weeks of review.  You basically loose 18.75 times or 1875%
effectiveness.  Article Pro software will increase your
profitabilty by that 1875% because of the unique articles
it submits.  If you have 300, 400, or 500 inbound links you
will retain those inbounds links.  Google sees each of your
articles as unique and will show them all in your search
results.  The more inbound links, the more traffic. The
more traffic the more sales.  Article Pro Software is a
powerful and awesome article marketing tool.  There is no
other article submission software available that packs
these features.

This is the most powerful article submission strategy
available to increase your overall efffectiveness of all
you article marketing campaigns.  Now that’s a benifit all
article marketer’s should take notice of.
