Monday, 10th March 2003 From the desk of Ian Herculson Dear friend, Would you pay for a dead duck? It's quackery, but that's just what thousands of Internet marketers are doing daily. They're investing in dead ducks - throwing hundreds of dollars away in wasted advertising revenue and worthless promotional opportunities. No doubt you've done the same. Even when investing in "guaranteed visitor" advertising and pay-per-clicks, money is flowing out of your pockets quicker than water through a hose pipe and you're left dazed, confused and just plain broke. Where did it all go wrong? Where are all the sales? Where's the money? There is a solution. Here's how I make a full-time income with no hands-on work Let's get right to the point. You have a product to sell (whether it's your own or an affiliate opportunity) and you want to know how to create more sales. What it takes to create those sales is targeted and directed traffic. But the dilemma is, where do you find that traffic? I learned long ago that the best kind of traffic always follows these two points: - The traffic is targeted and focused... i.e. people who want to buy your product - The traffic is made up of proven buyers who are ready to make the purchase General people hitting on your site won't make the blindest bit of difference. So you need to zoom right in on your target market (i.e. people who are looking for what you can offer) So what's the answer? Waiting 2-3 months to get your website listed in the search engines, only to find that you're at # 23,484 won't help - neither will investing in hundreds of dollars worth of so-called "Internet marketing secrets" ebooks only to find the strategies are light-years out of date. And you can sure as heck bet that throwing $500 or more at a time to get a small trickle of visitors from banner ads probably won't tip the proverbial scales in your favor either. "I spent the first half of my Internet marketing career tearing my hair of its roots, longing for the solution. Then I did something that actually made a difference to my hit counter.. No, more importantly, I did something that made a difference to my sales... it quadrupled them!" I quickly realized that if I wanted to produce a good return on my investment and stop wasting my time with rehashed marketing strategies that never worked as promised, then I'd have to change my method - and fast. My interest was slipping away as fast as my advertising dollars. So I sat down and did some thinking... Email was obviously the most powerful and direct way to reach my potential customers, but I'd been scared off by the talk of spam. I couldn't just write up and blast off an email message to a bunch of random people. That's unethical, and certainly against my code of practice. So instead, I had to reach people who had requested to be contacted. People with a genuine interest in my products and services. Perfect candidates of the market I wanted to tap into. So I started playing around with something called "ezines". And what are they, you ask? It's not complicated - they're simply electronic newsletters delivered by email. Chances are you've subscribed to a bunch yourself. They're quick info blasts usually containing articles or some other relevant information pertaining to the subject of the email. For instance, if you're interested in home cooking, you might subscribe yourself to a recipe tips ezine or a free newsletter offered by one of the thousands of cookery sites online. Their purpose? For the reader, it gives them information relevant to their interests. For the company, it builds an opt-in base of potential customers who are interested in what they have to say. The problem is that it can take months - even years - to build a base of thousands of subscribers. Who has that kinda time to waste? I wanted to tap into these markets now! So if you're sick of waiting for results, just like I was, and you want results now, then listen closely whilst I reveal the solution that enables you to instantly tap into these otherwise hidden treasure coves... what's more, you can get started within the next 5 minutes. I discovered many different ways that I could tap into these powerful, pre-built market bases. Remember, these people were proven to be interested in what I had to offer. Why? Because they went out of their own way to subscribe themselves to a particular ezine. They actually eagerly await each issue. Now imagine what they could mean if they saw your message. So here's what I did... I first compiled a list of ways I could advertise in a particular ezine. Methods which as: - Placing classified or sponsorship ads in a newsletter I discovered ways to advertise real cheap using text ads in relevant ezines. What's more, I usually got an even bigger discount when I emailed the ezine owners asking them to reduce the rates because I was on a budget. Most of them were happy to oblige. This was the perfect way to test smaller ads and see how good each one pulled without spending a fortune. - Free - Joint venturing with ezine publishers This is a great way to scoop some cool cash totally free. I simply wrote up a joint venture proposal asking several ezine publishers to blast out a special announcement about my new product and promised them a percentage of each sale. I got so many takers that within a week my new product had been exposed to over 100,000 interested prospects... totally free! - Promoting using solo advertisements This, by far, has to be the best paid advertising I have ever done. I found that a lot of my targeted customers were subscribed to ezines that would allow me to run a full-page sponsorship advert pushing my own products. The response I got from many was phenomenal. I could get as many as 700 or more unique visitors and at least 15-20 orders a time with some of the bigger lists. If I sold a $50 product and the ad cost me $200, I made at least $500 bucks a time. What's more, once I knew the ad was a winner, I could reuse it again and again. - Free - Sending articles for publication This is another easy one. I simply wrote a relevant, 400-500 word article based on my experience with the targeted market and blasted it out to a bunch of eager ezine publishers. Don't think you can write an article? Guess again. It's easy as pie. Do you sell kitchenware? Then why not draft out an article on how to use timesaving kitchen equipment? Or what if you sell fishing tackle? A few tips on catching a bigger fish would make a great article. I'd then include a short teaser at the end of the article inviting people to visit my site, and this would pull in almost 5 times as many visitors than any other ad because of the interest people had built in me simply by reading my articles. Blasting this out to ezine publishers got me a ton of response and best of all, it took just an hour of my time and the cost was zero. But advertising is the easy part. The problem was finding targeted, relevant, usable and worthwhile ezines related to my target market. First I had to ensure each and every one of these ezines contain 100% opt-in subscribers (because anything less would be classed as spam). Then I had to sort through them and find their circulation, advertising costs and requirements, ensure each one delivered only worthwhile content, their demographic profile (i.e. the kind of people that subscribed to their ezines), whether or not they accepted article submissions, how to contact their editor and so much more. It took weeks to build up a base of worthwhile ezines, and even longer to plan my marketing campaigns around them. And how could I be sure that my information was up to date? What if one of the editors changed his or her email address and I couldn't get hold of them? What if one of the ezines had dropped out of publication? What a nightmare it was just to stay on top! So here's the solution I created, and the one I'm presenting to you. Within 5 minutes of using my automated, online database of ready made ezine contacts, I guarantee you'll be able to find thousands of potential customers in a flash and start increasing your online sales.

You could immediately sort these into different categories... maybe write your own article and blast it out to the ezines that publish outside articles, or write and submit a solo advert to 2-3 of the top ezines... or even better, arrange for those ezine publishers to sell your ebook and take a percentage of the profit generated. After all, it hasn't cost you a single dime to advertise.
