Choosing Shopping Cart Software To Sell Digital Products From Your Online Store

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

For our own online store the discount ebook store we tried many different shopping cart software packages to get the balance of ease of use for our customers and hands off operation for us. Sadly choosing the right shopping cart software to sell digital products wasn’t as easy as we’d thought.

When it comes to choosing shopping cart software to run your online store there are a myriad of possible solutions.
All of the software we tried had good integration with most of the payment processors like Paypal, 2Checkout and Worldpay alongside many others. All of the carts would also save the buyers information for sending out offers after the first sale so follow up is an option. In fact the options were similar on most of the shopping cart software we tried.

 Running an online store with physical products can be handled by all the software we tried without too many problems, as you will be shipping out goods manually after you have made a sale. Selling digital products using shopping cart software is a whole different ball game however. Obviously we could use any of the shopping cart  software to sell digital products online, and deliver them manually when we were notified by the software or our payment processor of a sale, but that kind of defeats the object of selling digital products online.

To keep life simpler, you need the whole process from the buyer putting digital items in the cart to the product being delivered to be automatic. The whole point of selling digital products from your online store is that it saves you the bother of sending out links to download the file, or emailing attachments. So any shopping cart software you choose for your online store needs to carry out the task of delivering the digital products to the buyer without your intervention, and that’s where a lot of the shopping cart software falls down.

As we already said, all the software could sell the products and accept the payment, but when it came to delivery most of the shopping cart software would leave the customer with no idea of where their new purchase was. In the worst cases the shopping cart software would require us the seller to send a download link to the customer which would then leave our product download links open to the less scrupulous customer passing the link around for others to download it without paying, or move the digital products after each sale, not good at all.

Only slightly better was the shopping cart software which would give the customer a link inside their login area. In this case the link would usually be obfuscated and unique to the individual buyer. The downside was that after buying most of our customers wouldn’t go and log back in to find their downloads and we’d get support  requests or in some cases be accused of  taking money and not delivering. The worst cases we had the customer initiated complaints with our payment processors.

Finally we found shopping cart software which we could use to sell digital products which ticked all the right boxes. The shopping cart we use now integrates with our payment processor, it offers a cart which can hold multiple items and it delivers them automatically after payment as a download link. The shopping cart we chose also gives the buyer a login account which they can return to later and download the product again should they lose it on their hard drive after downloading.

Hopefully this gives you some idea of what you need to look for when you choose shopping cart software to sell digital products from your online store.

A look at our latest projects

Monday, February 5th, 2007

As part of our move into niches other than internet marketing, we are setting up a few different sites trying different techniques, and different topics.
We thought it was time to let you take a quick peek at the projects we have ongoing right now, and let you know the ideas behind them. In all cases we are using articles as traffic generators to bring people who are interested in these niches to the sites.

The first is at http://www.thediscountebookstore.com/digitalmoney.php and uses a free e-course, and an e-book as an offer to get people to sign up for an email list. They will then receive a course on digital photography, each email contains a link to an affiliate product which is related to digital photography.  Check it out you may find some stuff you didn’t know, and a new revenue source too ;)

Our second project has a huge buzz surrounding the topic in the UK as it’s all about getting money back from local authority councils. So a quick and simple site with some information about the potential refunds, and how to guide with some Adsense units may just bring in some new income while the topic is hot. Take a look at it at http://www.counciltaxrefund.info 

 Our third site is just beginning but you can see it at http://www.credit-reduction.com

As always we welcome your feedback in the comments box below.

Customer service, how’s yours?

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

Customer service, how’s yours?This week I have dealt with some issues where I needed customer support, one was done through a high profile site with a full complement of staff on a help desk, the other was dealt with by a small online business owner, who answers his own support requests.

Which customer support issue do you think was handled the best?

Yep, the personal touch from the small business guy was to the point, helpful, and all my questions and issues were sorted swiftly, with a bit of personality thrown in.

In the case of the high profile site, one of their support staff must have half read my original complaint and sent a form reply to cover what they read. If they had read all of it, then they would have realised that the answer they gave was part of what I’d done, and pointed out in my original support request. On the second try, the same answer was given, to follow a series of steps, which for the second time I had re-iterated that was what I had done, but the problem had still arisen. Result I gave up on them.

The small business guy was actually sorting out the problem created by the big name super site, which they had failed to address, it took one email for him to see what had happened, and help me to put it right. He also pointed out that I wasn’t the only one with that issue, and nobody ever got a resolution through the big sites support staff.

I won’t name the big site, but they just asked me to complete their customer support satisfaction survey, and it was far from glowing with praise for their staff, and help system. As for the small site, it was The Unselfish Marketers Vault and The owner JayKay who offered his help. I have recommended this site before, and now my recommendation is even stronger, JayKay and The Vault rock, and it is the ONLY membership site you need for resale rights and even PLR products. It is the only site I am still paying monthly fees to.

Just one question, how is your customer support, are you getting it right?

My plans for 2007

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Over the last few weeks I have taken a look at what I have laying on my hard drive and read some of the e-books I have bought.
You know what I found?
A lot of information I could be using to increase my profits almost instantly. But more than that, I realised that Mike Filsaimes report at the end of last year “The Death Of Internet Marketing” was spot on. We are all going in ever decreasing circles selling stuff to each other, until internet marketing implodes in on itself with a whimper. Mike done a great job of pointing it out, and even gave us all alternatives, and for free.
But what did all of us do about the free information Mike passed around?
Nothing.
We’re all still doing the same old thing, me included, we buy internet marketing products, with resale rights, and sell them to each other. We discover new ways of making sales online, and use them to sell even more to other internet marketers, and it goes round, and round, and round. I’ve seen a few of the smarter marketers opting out of this merry go round of selling to each other and instead look at other potential markets.
So I decided why not join them?
With that in mind I have taken some steps to use the knowledge I have of selling online to sell information products into other niche markets. You know I think it might be an easier sale in the long run, the general internet user who isn’t studying the sales techniques of others is less jaded, and may well respond more positively (ie spend) to the marketing tricks we have been mastering.
When someone is looking for information about healthy feeding of their baby, they won’t instantly recognise the selling technique of a squeeze page offering a free e-course about healthy baby food and a free e-book as a bonus for signing up. They will see an offer they need, and won’t be jaded enough to look for the catch like you or I my fellow internet marketing friend.
One of the other e-books I had laying around which helped me come to this decision was “5 Bucks A Day” which offers useful information and a plan to make one 5 buck a day project per week. It also contains some great ideas to get your 5 bucks a day projects started. 
And so I’ve started, I am setting up a few different sites in different ways to test what works best, spending a little time on each project and once I know what works, I will be using that as a template to setup multiple sites on multiple niches outside of internet marketing.
Why not join in, and let us know where you’re heading this year?
Do you have a plan for 2007 yet?
What do you think about getting away from selling internet marketing information and software and looking at other niches?
Come on, it may just be fun and profitable

A special self improvement messaage “The 90/10 Principle”

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Hi  ,

How are you today?

I have an interesting self improvement article to share with you it was
sent to me by Jessie Membership Manager of http://www.ebizrrpclub.com .

Just read the entire article to discover the 90/10 Principle and feel fr.ee to
pass around if you wish.

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of
life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving,
which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine
the other 90%.

How? ……….Is by your reaction.

You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don’t let
people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let’s use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup
of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
What happens next will be determined by how you react.

You curse.

You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down
in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for
placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle
follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find
your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for
school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your
daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30
mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.
Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving
at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has
started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look
forward to coming home.

When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your
spouse and daughter.

Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?

B) Did your daughter cause it?

C) Did the policeman cause it?

D) Did you cause it?

The answer is “D”.

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in
those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “Its ok
honey, you just need to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush
upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in
time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns
and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your
boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?

Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why?

Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was
determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something
negative about you, don’t be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on
glass. You don’t have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in
losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper?
Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do
you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?

WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin
your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job.

Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy
and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take
outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what
is going on.

Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out?
It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the
results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is
incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result?

Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and
heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!

We’re Back…..

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

We’re back, well sort of anyway. Firstly I’ll explain our
absence, it was holiday season, purely and simply I put
family and friends first, and that’s just how it should
be. I couldn’t and wouldn’t turn my back on my visitors
to prepare newsletters so they were left until now.
I’m also going to change the way the newsletters are
delivered, and the frequency, so instead of receiving a
huge long email every Saturday, I may not write at all one
week, unless there’s something to tell you. I will also
post each article, news or update to the blogs, and email
to let you know where to go to find the latest news, with a
brief summary.
I hope this will be better for all, you won’t have long
emails to read, ignore, or delete and I won’t be spending
so long with writers block, but writing when the ideas come
instead.
Onto the latest news, we are going to be making many other
changes this year, so expect some of our sites to
disappear, or be revamped, but we will still offer you
great value courses and deals when we find them and can
pass them on.
With that in mind here are three sites we’d like to tell
you about which may help you to make more of your time
count towards making money onlin*e.
Firstly we are pleased to announce a simple course which
could help you on your way to making 100 dollars A DAY
I’ll spare the sales pitch here, just take a look at the
site for all the details.
http://www.100bucksaday.net

Secondly we recently found this great little ebook, and
members resources for increasing your earnings. You can
find out all you need to know at
http://www.100bucksaday.net/5bucks.php (don’t let the 5
bucks a day name fool you, this is about making loads more
than $35 a week).
http://www.100bucksaday.net/5bucks.php

Finally I am going to reveal the one site that I have
joined which has made me cancel a load of other membership
sites, because it offers every new resale package, and plr
package which appears on the market. It even lets you make
requests for products. This one site will help you to stock
a membership site, or members area, an ebook or software
store, and by using the plr products you can create new
products with your name. All for one low monthly fee (and I
do mean LOW).
http://unselfishmarketer.com/splash/4763.html
This site really is that good, I was in two minds whether I
should tell you about it because you may not need to bu*y
from me ever again. And for only $15.67 monthly, it really
is a bargain, but even better, after you join, you can make
50% commissions on a monthly basis. The price will be rising
soon, so hurry along before it does, remember when it does
you make more commissions every month too…
http://unselfishmarketer.com/splash/4763.html

Just before we go, here is one more piece of news..
You may have heard of the recent promotion “Internet
Marketer of the Year” run by Brad Smith.

The results are being broadcast all over the internet as we
speak !
Well finally, after tallying the votes, there has been
drawn a solid conclusion, and you’d NEVER BELIEVE who made
it into the Top Spot for 2007 !

 http://dougyt1.getitquick.hop.clickbank.net

There were over 800 votes during the campaign, and everyon*e
is EAGER to see the results.
I could announce the results here and now, but I believe
you’d be better off reading the complete 12 page
mini-report yourself.
So to find out just WHO is going to be awarded the title,
“Internet Marketer of the Year”, and be inducted into the
“Internet Marketer of the Year Hall of Fame” you’re going
to need to rock on over to the site and pick up the f.r.e.e.
report.

away as usual (Yes I’m looking for sympathy from you lucky
people who had the day off).
This week I have been looking at other areas of interest I
have which aren’t as saturated as the internet marketing
niche is, and it’s something I realised after reading Mike
Filsaimes “Death Of Internet Marketing” report. Read more
about it below, in this weeks article, and don’t forget to

Has Internet Marketing Met Its Waterloo?
By Douglas Titchmarsh

Has Internet Marketing Met Its Waterloo?

There’s been a lot of discussion of the death of internet
marketing in all its forms recently. Quite a few well known
marketers have jumped on the sensationalism which was
stirred up by “The Death Of Adsense”, and some of them
have put out their own “Death Of” reports. The one which
has stirred up most controversy, and also the most support
was Mike Filsaimes “The Death Of Internet Marketing”.

But here’s the thing, Some commentators have probably
never read it right through, if at all, and immediately
assumed the report was a marketing ploy, or a way of
keeping the smaller marketers nose out of the trough of
internet marketing. A few may have skimmed the report
before making any comments, and still managed to get the
wrong end of the stick where this report was concerned.

So what was the underlying message in “The Death Of
Internet Marketing”?

The real message given through this sensationally titled
report was that internet marketers should stop marketing
internet marketing products to each other. There is a
finite number of people to bu*y each new internet marketing
uber-program, only so many people interested in buying
information products telling them how to sell information
products. Inevitably this market is getting saturated. Each
new potential internet marketer is getting caught in the
trap of buying the information to become a better marketer
only to think they need to sell it on again, repackaged or
not.

To put it another way, all the internet marketers out there
need to start looking at selling to ordinary people
interested in something other than marketing. We all need
to look outside the IM community, and look wider, or
narrower maybe, and sell into other niche areas.

To put that into perspective for yourself, consider the
first thoughts you had about making money by selling
online. I found it interesting to recall, that when I
looked back on it my reason for being online was for
finding out more about classic gaming, American cars, and
some of my other interests. Even when I looked into making
money from the internet my first thoughts weren’t of
selling marketing information, but of selling how to’s for
repairing cars, or motorcycles. As soon as I bought some
info to learn internet marketing, I found myself in this
whirlwind of buying marketing products with resell rights
and selling them to other people who wanted to learn about
internet marketing, and my original ideas were lost in the
maddening merry go round of ever increasing ebooks, and
software to sell to other marketers.

Does this sound like your own situation?

If it does, you need to stop, and take stock of what
you’re doing. Stop trying to sell to a saturated market.
Re-discover your real reason for being online, go back to
the hobby, or research which sent you in the direction of
internet marketing, re-ignite your passion for whatever
that was, and start again there. Use all the skills, and
tools you have learned from internet marketing to create
and sell your own information products based around a
subject you already know, and enjoy.

It will be easier, the people looking for information about
old cars, flower arranging or any other of the millions of
hobbies people pursue, are not marketers, they aren’t
getting 319 marketers sending carbon copy emails to them
with information on how to repair the unobtainable part for
their 1936 Buick which you know only needs a sprocket from a
2001 Datsun to make it work again. The woman searching
Google right now for information on removing tough stains
from silk garments hasn’t had 237 emails today offering
her your grannys tried and tested method for removing
stains from delicate materials. She is looking for
information to save a priceless heirloom, she is willing to
bu*y it, and no one is offering it because you’re too busy
writing your next email to sell the latest resale rights
ebook on listbuilding and getting it sent to several
thousand people who have seen the same ebook given away by
Joe Bloggs on the latest JV giveaway site which is open for
just the next five days.

It’s great to discover the new techniques for marketing
your widget, but they work even better on subjects who
haven’t seen this method used by loads of other people
already. Non marketers are amazed by a website which uses a
name squeeze to place their name in the salesletter, while
the canny marketer blots that out as a gimmick he’s seen
too often already.

So has internet marketing met its waterloo?

That’s an emphatic NO. Internet marketing is alive and
well and living the high life. It’s just the internet
marketing niche which needs to be pruned back. All the
techniques still work, but selling marketing tricks is
dying. Let’s all let it rest and recuperate a little, and
look into our own areas of expertise and make extra money
from all the subjects we care about, instead of one we just
want to harvest for all we can. As for me, I’m going back
to look at classic gaming, American cars and classic
motorcycles and find out what someone else is willing to
pay me to learn about them.

10 Fool Proof Ways To Intensify Your profit*s

BY A.N. Other

1. Create benefit intensifiers for your list of a*d copy
benefits. Example, The Benefit: “Save More Time”,
The Benefit’s Intensifier: “Never Seen Before”.
2. Use a little humor in your a*d copy. It could be the
little extra motive you need to close a sale. People
are usually persuaded easier if they’re in a good mood.
3. Ask your visitors questions that induce thoughts,
feelings, memories and emotions that will influence
them to bu*y.
4. Tell your visitors what their friends or family
will probably think when they bu*y your product.
People care about what other people think of them.
5. Use blue, underlined text links. People have been
branded that blue, underlined text are links. You do
not want to lose visitors by using a different color.
6. Consider outsourcing part of your work load to a
virtual assistant. You won’t have to pay the extra
employee costs and you can save precious time.
7. Increase your traffic by holding a FRE*E teleclass.
You can refer people to your web site for more
information.
8. Add an extra profit stream by selling the reprint
rights to your web site content. It could be articles,
e-books, reports, etc.
9. Spy on your competitors by buying their products.
You’ll find out about their customer service, follow
up marketing, up sell offers, etc.
10. Allow your visitors to assume you are a large
corporation. Use professional web design, graphics,
content, customer service, etc.

On The Lighter Side

Once upon a time there lived a king. The King had a
beautiful daughter,
the Princess.

But the kingdom was a sad place.

There was no laughter, and no joy.

The problem was, that everything the Princess touched would
melt.

No matter what, metal, wood, plastic…anything she touched
would melt!!

Because of this, men were afraid of her.

nobod*y would dare marry her.

The king despaired.

What could he do to help his beautiful daughter?

He consulted his wizards and magicians.

One wizard told the king, “If your daughter touches one
thing that does
not melt in her hands, she will be cured.”

The King was overjoyed. The next day, he held a
competition. Any man
who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt
at her touch,
would marry her and inherit the King’s wealth.

Three young princes took up the challenge.

The first Prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium.

When the Princess touched it, it melted… The Prince went
away sadly.

The second Prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that
diamond is the hardest substance in the world and will not
melt.

But, alas, once the Princess touched it, it melted. He too
went away
disappointed.

The third Prince approached. He told the Princess, “Put
your hand in my
pocket and feel what is in there.”

The Princess did as she was told, though she turned red.

She felt something hard. She held it in her hand…and it
did not
melt!!

The King was overjoyed!

Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed!

And the third Prince married the Princess and the both
lived happily
ever after.

The question is?!?!?!?

What WAS the object in the Prince’s pocket???

They were M&M’s, of course. THEY melt in your MOUTH, NOT
in your HAND!!

(What were YOU thinking?)

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Hi,

What an interesting week it has been for us here where money
was concerned. The most unusual thing to happen was when my
wife went to the bank to draw some money and phoned me to
say we had too much money. It was kind of difficult to make
the call to find out if it was a mistake somewhere in case
we had to give the money back! Even the woman on the banks
helpline found it amusing that someone phoned them to say
they had too much money. Luckily it was an expired
insurance policy we’d missed, and the insurance co had
paid us back over two years of our monthly payments. What a
great thing to happen while we are in christmas present
buying mode lol.

I hope you are having your share of good luck too, why not

10 Simple But Effective Ways To Maximise Your Affiliate Sales
By Douglas Titchmarsh

As an affiliate marketer your aim is to be making as many
sales as you can, so you need as many tools and techniques
as you can lay your hands on to make those affiliate sales.
The following ten tips are proven to increase vistiors, and
ultimately sales, to any website.

1) Offer a freebie to attract visitors to your site. Make
sure the freebie is related to the theme of your site, and
the affiliate product you are promoting. Even better if you
can also offer another FREE gift to anyone who tells their
friends about your site, this kind of viral marketing can
turn your site into a goldmine in just a few days.

2) Use a name squeeze page, so you can add your visitors
name to the webpage, and it becomes personal as if you are
talking directly to them. You can also capture other
information so you can send special offers, promotions and
remind them about your site regularly. This technique can
increase affiliate sales by leaps and bounds, especially if
used in conjunction with a FREE gift to exchange for the
visitors details.

3) Add a chat room or message board to your web site.
Having somewhere people can come and discuss their hobby,
or problems, with other likeminded members will keep them
coming back to your site to participate. Turning your
website into a themed portal with a messageboard and links
to other resources related to the affiliate products you
market will turn you into the expert, and your affiliate
marketing site into a useful resource.

4) Track and analyze all your promotional efforts. You will
be able to concentrate your time on the marketing strategies
which work, and drop any underperforming ones sooner. This
will mean you are not wasting time spinning your wheels
with something which is doomed to failure, and enable you
to use your time and resources to the maximum effect.

5) Make the most of every single visitor. Offer bribes in
the form of FREE gifts and discounts where possible in
return for interacting on your sites forums or
messageboards, and signing up for your newsletter.
Everybody is different, and offering a few alternative
gifts, or ways to earn those gifts will also help to
increase your return traffic. You get more chances to make
that sale.

6) Offer bonuses to anyone who purchases from your
affiliate link. There are hundreds of products you can buy
with resale rights, giveaway rights, or even private label
rights. Find several of these products which match or
complemement the affiliate items you are promoting and also
come with the right to use them as a bonus, and double check
that you may use them as a giveaway to people who purchase
your affiliate product. Now package them up and offer the
bonus to anyone who makes the purchase using your link.

7) Submit articles to article databases and ezine
publishers. Include your link to your website which has
your newsletter signup, or squeezepage in the resource box
and this will build links back to your site, and also your
increase your credibility as an expert in your chosen
field.

8) Start a viral promotion by using a FREE giveaway. When
done correctly you can gain exponential exposure for your
affiliate products and links. An ebook is an ideal vehicle
for and If you don’t feel up to writing it yourself, there
are a plethora of places to buy private label rights books
or articles you can use as if you did write it yourself.
Place some links to your chosen products in an ebook on the
same subject as you are promoting for, and make sure to
prominently place your list signup link in there too. Give
the ebook away, and allow anyone who gets it to give it
away too.

9) Start a blog on blogger.com or as part of your website
and use this as a place to collate articles, stories etc.
with some connection to your chosen subject. Blog
regularly, and ping at pingoat.com each time you blog. Make
sure each post carries a link to your affiliate products,
and try to incorporate your newsletter signup form in the
page too.

10) Practice good customer service - always. It’s easier
to sell a second time to someone who has had good service
from you. After you have given them a bonus for their
purchase, you can follow up with your happy customer, and
offer other offers they may find useful. It’s much easier
to keep a customer who trusts you than to get a new one.

Follow the preceding tips, and watch your affiliate
marketing soar to new heights of profit. Just one or two of
these can make the difference to your affiliate sales when
used properly. Use all of them together and who knows what
your results may be?

10 Intriguing Ways To Propel Your Online Sales

BY Doug

1. Add extra subjects to your web site. Most FREE
ad sites only allow you to submit your web site to
one category. This’ll allow you to submit it to many.
2. Increase the perceived value of your product by
making your offer scarce. You could use limited
time bonuses, low prices, low quantities, etc.
3. Find out your competitions’ weakness and use it
as your “Unique Selling Proposition”. It’s the reason
why people buy your products and not theirs.
4. Sell your products or services to a specific niche
market. For example, instead of selling your fishing
book to all  fisherman, target it toward fly fisherman.
5. Test your advertising and marketing. You’ll save
time, money and big headaches promoting the right
offer to the right group of people.
6. Persuade visitors to buy your product by telling
them the future. Tell them what’ll happen with their
life in the future if they buy or don’t buy.
7. Offer a FREE trial of your product for a set period
of time. Don’t charge or bill them until they decided
to buy it. This’ll take away any risk they have.
8. Create other web sites that draw your initial target
audience. Then you can lead your prospects to your
main web site by linking to your other web sites.
9. Inform people about your site or freebie through
e-mail announce lists. You can find them by typing
“e-mail announce lists” in any search engine.
10. Tell your visitors what they can avoid by buying
your product or service will motivate them to buy.
They may want to avoid pain, fear, danger, etc.

On The Lighter Side

The War

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During
one battle, The French captured an English major. Taking
the major to their headquarters, the French general began
to question him.

The French general asked, “Why do you English officers
all wear red coats? Don’t you know the red material makes
you easier targets for us to shoot at?”

In his bland English way, the major informed the general
that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that
if they are shot, the blood won’t show and the men they
are leading won’t panic.

And that is of course why from that day forward all French
Army officers wear brown pants!

DEWDigest Newsletter 11th November 2006

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Hi Friend,

I just read what is probably the most honest and upfront
report on Internet marketing I’ve ever seen. I was
expecting a sales letter for a new product, dressed up as
an informational piece, but it wasn’t. I expected there to
be a “one time offer” or an upsell when I signed up for
it, but there wasn’t. Inside the download area I expected
to find some super upgrade to get “The Full Story” or
some kind of huge deal I dare not miss by not upgrading
today. Not so. Just one 60 page report on why Internet
Marketing is doomed unless we all start working smarter. I
will be reading it for a second time when this is sent as
there is so much useful information in this report. I urge
you to download it, from
http://www.TheDeathofInternetMarketing.com/?see-why=3671
or if you think I am just looking for a fast buck then go
direct to
http://www.TheDeathofInternetMarketing.com/
this is a fr.ee download and yes I do get a finders fee if
you go to the first link, but more important is that this
information is seen. It really is life or death for your
online marketin*g efforts although probably not internet
marketing itself.

Quick Guide To Using Clickbank As An Affiliate Marketer
By Douglas Titchmarsh

affiliate marketing and clickbank

Clickbank is the affiliate marketers dream come true. Over
10,000 products in a searchable database for you to pick
and choose from. The product range in Clickbanks
Marketplace really does cater for almost everyon*e and their
hobby. All the affiliate marketer has to do is signup once
for a FRE*E account, and then start making those links.

The kicker is that it’s so simple to make a Clickbank
affiliate link. Choose your product to promote from the
Clickbank MarketPlace and Clickbanks script will give you
the opportunit*y to make your affiliate link right there and
then. A few clicks and you are ready to start your affiliate
marketing campaign. You can setup as many websites as you
can handle on different themes, and use Clickbank as your
product source to monetise them.

There is an important caveat in that last paragraph, did
you notice it?

You can setup as many websites AS YOU CAN HANDLE.
This is where the biggest mistakes happen with Clickbank
affiliates, it’s just so easy to make those links, and
then make new sites to promote tons of different products
you can quickly lose focus. One tip I will give here is
setup ONE site and start by making that profitable, then
start the next one once the first is working. This is the
same for any kind of marketing, test and tune the first one
until you get it right, then work on the next. Having too
many just makes tracking them a nightmare. It’s a case of
quality over quantity, where the old axiom of throwing
enough at it until something sticks is just a waste of
time.

Here’s something not too many people take notice of, the
Clickbank marketplace itself can also help you shortcut the
whole setup process by making it easier to find products
which actually sell. By taking note of the sites position,
you get an idea of how popular it is, but there is more
information there too. You can see how well a salespage is
converting on Clickbank by looking at the gravity results.
This tells you how well the product is selling right now,
and is weighted by Clickbank according to how recent the
sales were, and how many affiliate sales are being made. We
can use this as a guide to finding a product which sells
well right now.

Looking deeper though, we have to be careful of using the
gravity as the main reason to promote a product.Just
because a product has a lower gravity doesn’t mean it
isn’t a good seller. When something is new, the seller may
have a huge launch with specially invited affiliates to make
tons of sales quickly. But after this has died down, the
product still sells, and is still a good product, but the
big push is gone. This means you can pick up your Clickbank
affiliate link and make sales of this product with less
competition. Even really low scoring clickbank products can
be worth looking into, as it may just be a case of a poorly
marketed product which you can capitalise on.

Clickbank is an ideal place to start looking for affiliate
products to promote, it’s quick, easy and you are relying
on an established company to pay you, not the seller.
Clickbank tracks all sales, pays all commissions and takes
the payments for the seller, so you are in safe hands all
the way through. Isn’t it time you looked at how much you
can make from Clickbanks Marketplace?

How To Survive Financially As A Stay At Home Mom

BY Kelly Lowe

How To Survive Financially As A Stay At Home Mom

 

In today’s world, it takes two incomes to support a
household. Parents are finding, however, that their
children suffer in more ways than one when both parents
work away from the home. Other’s find that they are
missing out on a great deal of their children’s lives, and
that time is flying by. Working from home solves these
problems, but finding work that one can do from home, for a
profit, isn’t as easy as it sounds.

 

Unfortunately, this is where the scam artists come into the
picture. These people prey on moms and dad’s that want to
work from hom*e - especially those who are desperate to work
from home. These scammer’s take your money and squash your
dreams, all the while telling you how you can become rich
overnight. In fact, they make it sound so incredible, even
the most sensible of people fall for their lies.

 

But, in reality, it is possible to work from hom*e and make
an income. It’s just a question of finding the right
information to help you get started. There are work from
home jobs, and work from hom*e businesses that are
legitimate. Some of these will provide you with a small
income, while others provide you with a slightly larger
income. All of them, however, do require actual work and
effort on your part.

 

Here are some ways you can start surviving financially as a
stay at home mom:

 

* Get a work from hom*e job. You can find legitimate work
from home jobs at:

http://tinyurl.com/fgh87

 

* Take more than one work from hom*e job to ensure that you
are making the income that you hoped to earn. Don’t depend
on one source of income. Just make sure that your home base*d
work isn’t taking time that is needed for your family -
remember the object was to be able to stay home with the
children.

 

* Start your own home base*d business. You can find
information for starting your own business at
http://www.realworkathomeinfo.com

 

* Find ways to live frugally. Cut costs wherever you can.
In many cases, just by downsizing, a family can afford to
have just one income. You can get information on frugal
living at http://tinyurl.com/fgh87

 

If you put thought and effort into it, you really can stay
home with your children and earn money at the same time.
Just remember that with any home business or home base*d
job, you will only get out of it what you put into it - and
don’t believe anybody that promises you something for
nothing! Furthermore, you should never pay to do a work at
home job.

 

About the Author:

 

Kelly Lowe is a real work at hom*e professional, and
editor-in-chief of Real work at hom*e Info at
http://www.realworkathomeinfo.com . She strives to show
people how they really can earn a fulltime income from
home, and how to avoid falling prey to work from hom*e
scams.

On The Lighter Side

 A hamburger walks into a bar and the bartender says,
“Sorry, we don’t serve food in here.”

A dog with his leg wrapped in bandages hobbles into a
saloon. He sidles up to the bar and announces:
“I’m lookin’ fer the man that shot my paw.”

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, “So, why the
long face?”

A guy walks into a bar, sits down and hears a small voice
say,
“You look nice today.”
A few minutes later he again hears a small voice,
“That’s a nice shirt.”
The guy asks the bartender,
“Who is that?”
The bartender says,
“Those are the peanuts. They’re complimentary!”

Hi,

This week we’re continuing our series of articles about
affiliate marketing, and cover affiliate marketing with
blogs. It’s not so difficult to start a blog, and they can
be a lot of fun. When you add in some plugins, they make an
excellent vehicle for your affiliate marketing campaigns.
You can find out more in our article below. The rest of
this last week has been a blur for us, and since the
television ads have started to include a christmas theme
already, all talk is of the impending holiday season, and
how we’re not ready for it. My wife, as organised as ever,
has already done a fair amount of present buying, me I would
have been out on Christmas Eve and cursed myself for leaving
it so late, but as she keeps reminding me, it’s only 7
weeks away now. Only? that’s almost a lifetime right?
What do you think should we all be buying our presents
starting in the January sales, or keep it traditional, and
do our present buying on Christmas Eve?

Power Up Your Affiliate Marketing With Blogging
By Douglas Titchmarsh

Blogs are a great way of making sales for an affiliate
marketing campaign. Since they appeared, blogs have all but
taken over from static websites of old, a regularly updated
blog with quality content is a veritable magnet for search
engines and visitors alike.

There are several blog scripts and services you can use as
an affiliate marketer, simplest would be to use Blogger.com
as it’s just a matter of signing up for an account and then
start posting. Our recommended blogging tool is Wordpress
installed on your own site. You should consider using
WordPress as it’s usually in the Fantastico link in your
webhosting cpanel so is very easy to install to your site
in just 3 clicks, giving you control over your own blog.
There are also plenty of themes available to change the
look of your vlog whether you use WordPress or Blogger.
It’s worth looking for a theme which ties in with your
affiliate products you will be advertising.

As an affiliate marketer, you have to love blogs for their
ease of updating, you can just copy and paste new content
into the form, hit submit and a new page appears in
seconds, all nicely formatted, linked and if you do it
right categorised. Adding blog content regularly is a lot
simpler than updating a static html website, and recoding
all the links manually to add your new page.Just type or
copy and paste your text, and click publish and it’s all
done for you.

But there’s more to it than the simple adition of content
to your blog, you can setup an affiliate product link in
the main site template, and that will be shown on every
page you create. As soon as you post you have effectively
created another link to your affiliate product and another
way for people to be drawn to the site to find it. If you
don’t feel like digging around the code to add your
affiliate link, you can always add it each time you post
(or a different affiliate product each time). Even better,
with the addition of some simple to install plugins your
blog can become a sales powerhouse, and even add Adsense
for a second source of income.

Even better for us affiliate marketers these plugins can be
found for fre*e online ready to download and install to your
blog. If you are using WordPress, then a plugin called “WP
Text Link Ads” is our FRE*E plugin of choice. Google for it,
install it following the instructions and then add keywords
and your affiliate links to associate with them. Every time
you post, your chosen keywords will become links to your
affiliate products automatically. Set it up with several
affiliate programs and as your blog traffic increases so
will your bottom line.

So you have your blog set up, and start posting, how do you
get the traffic flowing and get your affiliate links out
there?

In my own experience, I have found that “Pinging” your
blog posts very quickly starts the traffic flowing. Pinging
is just the term for letting other sites know your blog is
being updated. For ease and simplicity, I recommend using
Pingoat.com where you can put in your details of your blog
after you post, choose the services to ping, and click go.
Here’s the kicker, afterwards Pingoat will give you the
option to bookmark the url so you can ping your site by
using the pingoat link in your favourites. You could
automate this by adding this (very long) url to the
autoping section of your blog settings, but you’ll have to
work that out for yourself.

Once you start blogging and pinging your posts, the search
engines will find your blog, and as we stated from the
start search engines love blogs especially if they are
being updated regularly. This is great for your affiliate
marketing campaign as search engines bring the best kind of
traffic, FRE*E. Hopefully some of the visitors from this FRE*E
traffic source will be interested enough to click on your
affiliate links and bu*y the products you are promoting.

This is just the start though. If you learn all you can
about blogging, and keep adding relevant and high quality
posts to your blog, then your affiliate marketing campaigns
can become your chief source of income. Blogging and
affiliate marketing really are a great pair to get to know.

How To Use “Viral Marketing” To Generate More Traffic

BY Dan Lok

Copyright (c) 2006 Quick Turn Marketing International,
Ltd.

Have you ever visited a site, like what you see… and
then told your friends about it?

OR

Have your friends ever told you about an interesting
or useful site they’ve visited in the last 30 days?

I’ll bet this happens almost every day, or at least
weekly. Believe it or not there is actually a method
to this madness. These seemingly random acts of
“kindness” or referral may actually dramatically
impact your business.

OK Dan, so what are you talking about, right?

I am talking about Viral Marketing. Viral marketing is
key to your business. It is a simple and effective
tool you can use to drive traffic to your site,
without spending thousands of dollars implementing
more expensive marketing tools.

How can you take advantage of viral marketing?

The easiest to make your visitors tell their friends
and relatives about your site is by implementing a
“tell-a-frien*d” script.

If done correctly, a “tell-a-frien*d” script is one of
the most powerful traffic-generation strategies you’ll
ever use. And it’s FRE*E!

Here’s how it works…

You ask your visitors to enter the name and e-mail
address of friends and relatives they think will be
interested in your site. Then, the script
automatically sends a personalized e-mail promotion
your site to all their friends from the visitor.

Now how are you going to get your visitors to enter
the names of their friends and relatives that may have
an interest in your site? Simple… Give them an
incentive. Make them an offer. Tell them WHY they
should refer their friends.

You can’t just expect your visitors to enter
information. Remember they are giving up some of their
FRE*E time to refer other people to you. You have to
make it worth their while. You have to sell it.

If you want to watch the way I do it, go to:
http://www.websiteconversionexpert.com/tellafriend.html

Don’t forget, you also have to provide your customers
with practical and useful content. You want
information on your site your visitors truly believe
will benefit their friends.

After all, they don’t want to look like an idiot, and
neither do you! If you don’t provide good content, in
fact if you provide anything but the best, I don’t
care what “bribes” you offer… your visitors won’t
refer anybody to you.

By doing this you can simply and easily virally grow
your list automatically!

Where do you find “tell a friend” scripts? You could
get some FRE*E tell a frien*d scripts if you do a Google
search.

This is the script I use is:

And if you technical dummy like me, you can ask Paul
to install the script for you.

A simple twist to this strategy is you can have a
tell-a-frien*d contest as well. A protégé of mine did a
tell-a-frien*d contest that was extremely successful.
He increased his traffic by 5-fold in that week. How?

What he did was very simple, stating whoever referred
the most visitors to his site in that week would get a
FRE*E IPOD. Slack, eh?

Let me you another killer viral marketing strategy
that very few people use.

Giving away a FRE*E e-book is a pretty common strategy.
But what I want you to do is to create an e-book for
your AFFILIATES to give away to their lists.

Let’s say you have a 20-page e-book. Instead of asking
your subscribers to pass it along (which is not very
effective) you encourage your visitors to join your
affiliate program. Then you let them customize and
brand the e-book with their own affiliate links for
your products!

Now, they’re motivated to tell everyon*e about you. Now
they’re motivated to pass it along the e-book to every
single soul they know. Why? They are getting something
out of it!

That’s not all. The people who read the e-book might
also become your affiliates, they will go to your
sites, create more customized e-books and they too
will pass those e-books to more people.

Do you understand the power of this? That’s viral
marketing on steroid!

If you’re still a little confused, check out.
http://www.websiteconversionexpert.com/viralpdf.html

And see the various brandable e-books I offer my
affiliates.

And the people who read your e-books are much better
prospects because they’re pre-sold on your materials.
So they’re much more likely to bu*y from you when they
hit your sales page.

So What are you waiting for*?*?? Start cranking your
“viral marketing” machine today. You’ll see that your
traffic and sales will grow steadily with absolutely
no work on your part.

Like the infomercial guru Ron Popiel said, “Just set
it and forget it!”

Sincerely,

Dan Lok

On The Lighter Side

More Bar Jokes

A man goes into a bar with a giraffe, they both get a
couple of rounds in. When they get up to leave they’re
extremely drunk and the giraffe passes out and falls over.
The man opens the door, about to leave by himself, when the
bartender stops him suddenly and says,
“Hey! You can’t leave that lyin’ there!”
The man turns around and slurs, “Don’t be silly, that’s
not a lion, that’s a giraffe!”

A piece of rope walks into a bar and the bartender
says,
“we don’t serve your kind.”
The rope goes outside, ties himself in a knot and frays one
end of himself. He walks back into the bar and the bartender
says,
“Weren’t you the piece of rope that was just in here?”
The rope replies, “No, I’m a frayed knot.”

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. The
bartender sets the beer down and says,
“For you, no charge!”

A woman goes into a bar and asks for a “double
entendre”. So the bartender gave her one.
