Agel Business Opportunity: The Hottest Opportunity Available Today!

In life opportunity is boundless. Spin around pointing your index finger and it’s nearly guaranteed that when you stop &ndash an opportunity for something is going to be in front of you &ndash that’s if you’re conditioned to spot that opportunity. It’s the law of abundance working in your favor all the time.

One thing however that the proponents of this law forget to mention is that not all opportunity is equal. Some opportunities trump others, plain and simple. The unfortunate part of it is that the one’s that are dominant in reward are usually the one’s that come along least.

The key to finding those is the key to finding the unique opportunities with the potential, or better yet the guarantee, to revolutionize an industry or marketplace. Even better is to find them when they’re in their infancy…sort of the clich

Marketing Your Business The Right Way.

Whether you are a small business or a large corporation you need a good marketing strategy. There are dozens of ways to market your business the question is which ways are the most effective for your product or service? You can outline your marketing strategy with this popular saying, “Who, what, where, when, and how?”

First you need to know your product, is it something that people will feel they really need, what purpose does it serve? Who is your target audience? Two major components of your target audience are what age group and which gender will be most interested in your product. Depending on what product or services you are trying to market you also may be able to target specific groups such as certain professionals or interest groups “hobbies”.

What is it about your product that is better then any of your competitors? Is it of better quality, does it have a longer warranty, does it cost less then the competition? You need to know what it is about your product that is better then the other ones around. These are things you will want to tell your target audience about your product. An example might be if you are trying to market a fruit drink. You would want your audience to know that it is made with more or all-real fruit. That they are more vitamin benefits to your drink. That it has a fruitier more refreshing taste. These are things that are going to motivate potential customers to try it.

I’m sure you have heard the first three rules of business and that is, location, location, location! Product placement is an important aspect of marketing. Make your product accessible to your target audience. If you are a small business you want to place it somewhere that gets high traffic. Depending on what you are trying to sell you want to be where you customers will be. Locate yourself near a shopping plaza, hotels, restaurants or a main street that many people use to commute to and from work. This is the “where” marketing question you should ask.

When should you advertise your product? If you are using the media such as television or radio ads, this is a question to ask. When does your target audience generally watch television. If you are targeting men a good time to place your ad is during sports programming. Is it something children will want, then air it during cartoon programming. If you are using radio advertisement and you are targeting any adult. Try during rush hours, times when people are going to and from their jobs. Marketing your product at the right time is highly important.

No matter where you are marketing your product your audience needs to know how to get it. Do they have to go to a location to buy it? Can they order online or over the phone? How easy is it to pay for? Is it an expensive product, but very beneficial? Can it be paid for in installments? These are also marketing questions you should ask.

If you want to be successful at selling your product you need to know what marketing steps to take.

One Powerful Word That Will Boost Your Sales

What if I told you that there is one single word that can improve your sales exponentially? This single word is so powerful that not only will it change your sales, but it will change your lifestyle! You will finally learn how to market the RIGHT way to your customers!

What is this magical word? The word is “you”!

What is so magical about the word “you”? Using this word on your websites makes your customers come first! It makes them feel like their needs are put first and they will inevitably buy your product if they are made to feel like the reason that you have created it!

Every consumer is selfish! I admit it. I’m a consumer. I’m selfish too! I want to know, “what’s in it for me?” if I’m going to buy something. If you want to properly market to your customers, you need to tell them what’s in it for them! Direct the salespitch to “you” and make it seem that you’re talking to them one on one!

Don’t write in “business-speak”! Avoid saying things like “our company has been in business for 25 years and we strive to find a turnkey solution to the industry of…”. Blah, blah, blah! No one wants to hear that! Leave that information for the “About Us” section and make your front page about the customer and their needs.

Tell them how it will improve their life! Don’t sit there and list the features of your product, list the benefits of how it will change your customers’ lives! An example is if you were selling “noise cancelling headphones”. A feature of these headphones is that they filter out outside noise. However a benefit is “when you’re on the noisy subway on your way to work, put on these headphones and get whisked away to your favorite relaxation music!”

Once you understand that your customers want to know why they should buy your product and how it will improve their lives, then you’ve got the biggest, most important concept of marketing! Sell to “you” not to you!

Why I joined and said YES to Success University

Hi,

My name is Thomas Haldorsen and I’m 20 years old man from Norway. I live in a small community of only 20 000 and I was in work earning money at the local supermarket for my future education entering university next year.

But then one month ago I was in a car crash were I got injured pretty bad. My left shoulder had been dislocated and literally ripped off its hedges in the crash. Shortly after I went true surgery and my shoulder was stabilized and located into place. But now after getting strict orders from my doctor to take it easy and rest, off course this is making it impossible for me to work. So I decided to take that lost effort and focus that on something else. My answer was Success University.

I started reading about internet marketing shortly after my accident and found out what a wonderful and fantastic opportunity this was, so I was hooked. I began by reading a couple of e-books about affiliate programs and how the system works, and I got excited. I knew this was something that could change my whole life, so I did extensive research and implemented the methods I had learned.

Then only a few days ago I got a newsletter from the creator of one of the e-books I had read. Some of may know his name, The Rich Jerk. I had used the tips and tricks this guy wrote about and I knew they worked and he was for real about making money. So I joined his team, and now I’m in good company confident that I will make my financial dream come true.

In the newsletter he talked about a new type of affiliate program which blow him and me away. This is Success University, but what is it?

Success University is a company with simple goals, giving away free information about internet network marketing and at the same time make you money with its awesome compensation plan. And the way you make money is by recruiting other people to join the program earning you commission. It maybe sound to good to be true but it works and you learn a whole lot about marketing even if you’re a normal person like my or the head of a million dollar company. That’s the beauty of it, you don’t need a lot of knowledge of marketing, and you learn it from the experts and then doing it yourself making it happen.

Many have heard of pyramid schemes and how they scam people to invest money and then afterward the heads of run off with your money. But even though Success University use a pyramid model for its business, doesn’t make it a scam. The big difference is that you don’t invest a large sum into the company and use that, nor do you get “credit” which you have to take out, in order to get you money.

The only thing you pay for is a monthly fee and if you choose to a one time upgrading fee which is more profitable. And the way you get money is by getting checks in you mail on a frequent basis. Money up front the way I like it myself. In addition this program is supported by some of the biggest players in internet marketing, and ranked nr. 1 on the net.

So now you know why my reason for joining Success University and I recommend everyone to check this out and participate in this program. If you would like to learn more please check out this website bellow and read for yourself, I’m certainly glad I didn’t miss out on this chance to make my dreams come true

Best wishes, for the future,

The Power And Magic Of High-Tech High-Touch Marketing

Alright, you’re probably thinking… what in the heck is high-tech high-touch marketing?

In it’s simplest terms, high-tech high-touch marketing is a strategy and process that utilizes the most recent advancements in technology to simplify and automate your marketing efforts, build rock solid, long term relationships, and as a result allow you to earn more, work less, and have an absolute BLAST in the process.

Sounds pretty exciting right? Well, as you are about to learn it is.

Now before I go into the strategies around high-tech high-touch marketing, let’s first get clear about the challenges we all face.

The Problem:

As you know, the service profession is evolving more rapidly than ever before. Competition, technology and consumerism are taking huge bites out of our business possibilities.

Not to mention the challenges of not being able to reach our desired prospects. Spam filters, mass deletions, increased bounce backs and worse yet, people changing their email addresses. In fact, statistics show that 30% of internet users change their email addresses each year. Meaning that, if your list isn’t growing by at least 30%, if not more per year, you are actually going backwards.

Another interesting statistic is that we are now being bombarded by over 5,000 messages a day from all media sources. The internet, radio, TV, print media is taking it’s toll on our awareness and ability to focus on what’s really important. Is it any wonder why we are all waking around so dizzy in the head? I’ve beginning to think we are ALL suffering from one form of ADD or another, lol!

We’re working harder, feeling more stressed, and not yet seeing the results we want. We are afraid the old answers to building and sustaining our businesses just don’t seem to be working any more.

Whether we like it or not, it’s time to take action and re-engineer our marketing efforts and our businesses - or risk our futures.

With this in mind, I am honored to teach you the Secrets and Strategies to creating a Highly Automated, Very Successful practice, giving you complete freedom and control once and for all.

What’s the key to your success? It’s the level of your commitment.

Just check out these stats…

48% of marketers give up after the first contact

25% give up after the second contact

12% give up after the third contact

5% give up after the fourth contact

Meaning that 9 out of 10 people are never followed up with more 4 times.

Statistics show that it takes an average of 7 contacts to make a sale.

So, what’s the Solution?

It’s vitally important to connect frequently, consistently, and automatically with your target market. It’s essential that you leverage the power of technology to simplify this entire process.

Strategy number #1: Automate your business, build a million dollar contact list.

As we all know, the key to your success online rests in the quality, responsiveness, and size of your mailing list.

1) It needs to be highly targeted, providing quality content that addresses the challenges your target market faces and provides realistic solutions to make their lives and businesses more enjoyable.

2) Needs to include a strong opt in form on your homepage. Using free give aways, or legal bribes such as ebooks, assessments, mini course to attract new visitors.

Get creative. Offering a free newsletter simply doesn’t work anymore. The internet is saturated with these offers, as a result, they’ve lost their effectiveness. Think about when you became a new subscriber on someone’s list, what was it that attracted you? Make your offer sexy and compelling.

Now that you’ve created the system to build your list, the next step is to drive TONS of highly targeted traffic to your website.

I’ve broken it down for you…

3 Simple Strategies to Generate More Traffic to Your Website:

1) Build it yourself: Write and publish highly targeted articles.

2) Borrow it: Create a Strategic Alliance with a partner who currently supports your target market, yet isn’t your direct competitor. This is a true win/win relationship. As you share their services with your contacts, they will in turn, share your services with the people they know, like, and trust.

3) Buy it: Pay Per Click marketing is a miracle of the modern world. In fact, I believe history will show it to be the most important development in advertising this decade. Never before has it been possible to spend 5 bucks, open an account and have brand new, precisely targeted customers coming to your website within minutes.

As you are beginning to understand, building a highly successful practice online is not difficult. It does take proper training, however the results are most certainly worth the effort.

How to defeat Email spam

How to defeat spam at the roots

Just about everyone goes trough the hassle of removing unnessecary spam
in their inbox every day. If you have a fresh and unused email address and
want it so stay clean of spam mails then you should consider these steps bellow.

But to understand why you should consider these steps we will talk
about spiders (also known as: bots,address harvester,parser,the list goes on..) first.

Never think your email address is safe because a human beeing has to register or do any
other fancy stuff to see your address. And please consider that today almost anything
is beeing spidered by google and other bigger search engines. That means that entering
your email address in private guestbooks or bulleting boards is not safe at all,
because it is indexed by these engines. Most email address harvester start their search
in the big indexes like google,dmoz or yahoo.

In these days you can automate about everything a human can do except writing semaphorically
correct letters or articles. Even if you display your email address
as an image on your bussiness website the bots will be able to decipher it
and get your mailbox filled with unnesecary spam.

A good script or bot can even knock out these fancy captchas.

7 steps how you can avoid getting your new email address awash with spam.

1. Do not enter your real email address in guestbooks or bulletin boards (even if they are register only).
2. Do not activate images or even html emails in your email client. When loading images there is the risk that you will send your identification to the spammers server and he will set your email address to valid (and probably resell it).
3. If you really want to give your email address away, you should obfuscate it as much as possible (still human readable though). As an example for your.nameexample.com use your[dot]name(at)example[dot]com, this will not stop all the bots but you will get less spam for sure.
4. If you have your own domain you should use the catch all function and use email addresses like .iregisterhere.comyourdomain.com so you can always block that specific address when someone begins sending spam or sold your address.
5. If you only want to read some information on a register only bulletin board or site you should use a disposable email address like .mailslapping.com/ .
6. Use a good antivirus and mal-,spy- and adware detection tool. They often steal your addressbook and resell the addresses, including your own.
7. Do not use those fancy and 99 percent useless browser toolbars. They often include malware and/or spyware that can even capture data you enter in web forms.

You are on the safe side if you do not blindly trust the sites which want you to enter your
email address. If you use your email address for direct contact with a serious business or company
there is most likely no harm. Deactivate HTML rendering of your emails in the mail client of your choice.

If you use a email address from a free service like GMX, Yahoo, or your local provider. There is most
likely an option which lets you filter spam on the server. This way you can stop spam before its in your
inbox. Its always better to block aggressive and explicitly allow the sender addresses you want. This way you
probably loose a mail or two, but it is not an email from someone you really need to receive mails.

There are also some good blacklists out there. If you can configure your mailserver to use them (or your mailclient) then
you really should. These blacklists grow everyday and are pretty well up to date. One of them is SpamHaus (just google for email blacklist).

It depends on your needs but the more of these steps you can follow the less spam you will get.

What To Put On Content Sites

I am constantly asked the following question:

“What should I put on my content sites?”

Of course they are asking about my traffic generation strategy where I recommend creating content sites and pushing the traffic to a product site.

Here are some possibilities to put on your content site:

1. A Resource Directory

Resource directories used to be a great form of content. Yahoo actually got it’s start as a resource directory. They are now the #2 most visited site on the entire Internet. The search engine ranking data (.RankingFactors.com) shows that outbound links are still a positive ranking correlation factor (even though so-called SEO “experts” moan about PR leak and other such nonsense). One problem with resource directories is the level that they have been abused lately with all of the Adsense scraper sites. There are literally hundreds of thousands of useless resource directories out there now that have been created with automation.

2. Articles

Articles are my very favorite form of content for content sites. They are perhaps the purest form of content. If you think about it, a blog post can almost always also be considered an article. In fact, you may see this very blog post appear as a syndicated article soon via Artemis Pro. If you want only your own articles on your content site, a blog is a great content management system. If you want to allow others to submit articles (and this is VERY POWERFUL!), then stay tuned. I will be releasing a product very soon that makes this very easy.

3. Product Reviews

A product review is really just a kind of article; isn’t it? Normally I recommend using content sites for driving traffic to your own sites. Product reviews can be a double-whammy though. You can use them as legitimate examples of pure content on your content site (to get visitors and push them to your product sites) AND you can also include affiliate links in the product review and make some direct income.

4. Surveys

It is difficult to get a survey to match up with the Ranking Factors data, but these are a very nice way to have your users add some content to your site.

5. Forums

Forums are also very difficult to get aligned with the Ranking Factors data. They are also notorious for advertising blind spots. The visitors really focus on the forum and will largely ignore your attempts to distract them to your product site. Still, they are a great way to get a large number of visitors generating content for you. That concept of getting your visitors to generate your content is important.

6. Blogs

I haven’t tried this, but I have seen it done. The idea is much like forums, but you are providing hosting for other people’s blogs in return for your ad being on their blog.

7. Downloads

If your market has anything to do with software, a download area can draw a lot of visitors. There are other markets that are also well-suited to downloads. The most common types other than software are covered in the next three types of content.

8. Pictures

Do you have a travel site you are trying to promote? How about a dating site? Or a photography site? These are obvious types of sites where a picture content site can help drive traffic. What about your topic? Are pictures something that will draw your type of visitors?

9. Videos

Videos are quickly becoming mainstream on the Internet. Although you will need to pay for quite a bit more bandwidth when offering videos, this type of content can match up with almost any topic of site.

10. Audios

Some sites can really benefit from audios. They will take less bandwidth than videos, but only makes sense for some topics of sites.

There are probably hundreds of types of content that I haven’t covered, but that should get you started. Remember that the point of the content sites is to provide traffic that you can distract to your product sites. That means:

1. The content needs to be quality content that actually provides value to the universe. You don’t want people arriving at your product site feeling that they have been tricked by some junk page generator.

2. You don’t need some huge variety of content. A site with 5 interesting articles about the topic of your product is just fine. A site with 500 interesting articles is even better. Don’t somehow convince yourself that 5 articles isn’t “enough”… that somehow you “need” a forum, a blog, and a picture download area. You don’t. Any single form of content in any quantity is just fine.

3. A form of content that allows your visitors to generate more content is most powerful. That way you don’t have to do the work to get the traffic… your visitors do. It also adds interactivity and a feeling of being a part of that site for your visitors which will help retain repeat visitors and increase word-of-mouth traffic. I highly recommend that you focus on some type of content that is provided primarily by your users (although you may have to “seed” it yourself).

OK; I hope that answers the question about what to put on content sites. Go get to work generating some serious traffic to your product pages from your new content sites now.

Study Proves That Headline Length Can Impact Profitability!

Recently, I monitored an interesting discussion in one of the forums about the length of headlines on sales pages. Some of the posters were in favor of longer headlines because they communicated more information and had a better chance of catching the interest of the prospect. Other posters claimed that some headlines were so long that they were confusing. Some even claimed that they would take away your breath if you attempted to read them aloud. One poster thought that very long headlines often appeared to be a run-on sentence… even if it technically wasn’t.

I decided it was time to do a study. I wanted to compare headlines on profitable sales pages to headlines on unprofitable ones. I wanted to find out if there really was a difference in the length of their headlines.

To perform that study, I first had to prepare a list of profitable sites and another list of unprofitable sites. I actually already had both due to another study I had recently performed. However, many of the unprofitable sites had disappeared from the Internet. I wasn’t surprised. Why stick around if you can’t make a profit; right?

I had to settle for comparing the headlines of profitable sales pages to the average sales page. I used my list of profitable sites and counted the words and characters in each headline. I skipped any site without a headline. I then looked at sites with ads running on the major search engine for the same product or service. I randomly picked one and also counted the words and characters in it’s headline for the control or average group.

The results were surprising. The average sales page has a headline of only 10 words comprising 55 characters. The profitable sales pages had and average of 14 words and 82 characters in their headlines.

We can conclude that profitable sales pages use longer headlines than the average sales page. That isn’t so surprising.

The other finding was much more surprising. With only a handful of exceptions in thousands of data points, a length longer than 150 characters was very rare. Can we conclude that extremely long headlines aren’t profitable? No; there are other possibilities. However, we can conclude that it is exceptionally rare for profitable sales pages to use headlines longer than 150 characters. In fact, 90% of the data points fell within 131 characters.

That is my new recommendation. I intend to only use headlines that are at least 80 characters long and no longer than 131 characters and I advise the same to my clients.

This places me right in the middle of the correlation group for profitable headlines. Your headline is an important factor to consider when you are optimizing sales. I hope you consider following suit. If so, let me know if this study has improved your results. I look forward to hearing from you.
