BEST OF FACEBOOK

According to recent studies, 47 percent of Facebook users say that Facebook has the greatest impact on the purchase behavior. That is compared to just about 34 percent in 2015. Now interestingly enough, Twitter actually ranks about 5% and lower. So, what does that mean? That means that, if you really want to drive person’s behavior within all the social networks, you have to use Facebook and you have to have a Facebook presence.

Now, what’s amazing is that Facebook has a large opportunity in communicating with consumers in a non-intrusive way. So, in other words if done correctly you can make sales
without having to directly sell. Right! Hence, if your business doesn’t have a Facebook presence that is optimized the right way, you actually missing out on a lot of potential leads, sales and relationships.

If you’re a local business owner thinking, well there’s no way in the world that this impacts me. Then let me show you some stats. Surprising stats from recent local search studies show people that use Facebook actually use Facebook for local business searches to find out what people are really saying about your business. In fact, Facebook is only outranked by Google Maps and that means if your business isn’t on Facebook, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’re missing out on attracting prospective customers and building brand recognition.

So, as you can see, whether you’re a local business owner or online business owner that sells a product or service, it doesn’t matter. You need to have an optimized Facebook presence or
else you’re leaving money on the table. Now Facebook is not just for teenagers or college students alone. In fact, just in the USA market alone, 55 percent of Americans about ages 45 to 54 have a profile on the social networking site.

Let’s Take a Look at Some Up to Date 2016 Facebook Stats: –

How to Find Engaging Fans
How to find engaging fans and how do you really engage with them. There is a right way and a wrong way. Which one are you following right now?

Outsource and Automate
Then of course from that point on you need to know how to outsource and automate this process if you don’t want to do this yourself. If you want to do it yourself that’s fine. You don’t have to automate or else outsource this process.

KEY FOCUS AREA 4

Content
Key Focus Area 4 is content. Created content is key, because that’s what keeps the community growing. People are interested in your videos, your post and everything like that. That keeps the conversation going, because you don’t want the conversation to stop.

Create Simple Video Intros
That brings us to creating simple video intros. If you want to make sure that you brand yourself every time you put out a new interesting video, you want to make sure that you have a good video intro that brands you and your company. So that when somebody leaves your site, that brand sticks in their minds.

Many exciting and easy to start business ventures have emerged on the Internet in the past decades and more would emerge in the next few years with greater advancements in technologies. One of the sprouting online business ventures today is wikiHow.

This is an interesting web platform that offers a host of relevant guides on ‘How-to’ in a myriad of tasks and projects which consumers may be interested to know. This impressive online virtual ‘guidebook’ is extensive on its offering with a growing list of items as the days go by.

What wikiHow Offers

The primary objective of this online platform is to provide high quality e-manuals on tasks and projects. It reveals in simple steps how things could be handled, made and developed in easy approaches with the best of materials and skills using sufficient knowledge to guide the explorer.

This useful platform has attracted millions of readers and fans who are constantly seeking for ‘Know-how’ solutions on the various types of tasks at hand. A wide array of task categories is available with well developed online guides to assist users from start to finish with resounding success.

A special web-based community is formed with the flexibility of contributors of relevant guides on any category of task. Every interested individual is welcomed to submit their own guide on their preferred task or project as well as make edits to existing pages to enhance the quality of the guide posted. Edits to posted guides could include adding on pictures or correcting inaccurate instructions as well as correcting typo errors or grammatical mistakes in the article.

The platform boasts of thousands of ‘How-to’ guides from all walks of life across the globe with a high ranking by Google Analytics. It also boasts of being one of the most popular websites with millions of readers every month.

There are certain standards and formats which a wikiHow article or guide must comply with to be posted and viewed.

Money Spinning Opportunity

wikiHow is a special online site that is driven by writers and editors who are primarily volunteers. These individuals collaborate dynamically to generate high quality ‘How-to’ guide articles to benefit those seeking simple and free solutions to their daily needs that would enhance their living.

Contributors could come from any part of the earth with online submissions if they have a plausible solution to a problem or task that needs a simple solution. Contributors who have dynamic solutions in addressing certain problems or difficulties in life or work could submit their helpful information for sharing on this network to benefit others in that predicament.

One of the ways in which a wikiHow writer or editor could generate income from their article contribution is through paid advertising on the article pages. A lot of businesses are willing to pay the contributors for an ad space on their ‘How-to’ guide pages if these contributing writers or editors are notable on their writing skills in developing great guide articles on this platform.

Article contributors may choose their preferred paid ads to be displayed along their articles for a fee if they were offered by interested advertising merchants. Setting changes on these ads could be controlled by the article contributor to allow or disallow the ad to pop up when one logs in.

With the primary objective of wikiHow being the main focal point of article contributors, sharing ‘How-to’ information freely on this platform is essential. However, a personal blog could be developed to promote the wikiHow article with paid advertisements to generate the desired income. This may be an indirect money spinning opportunity which holds true to the basis of wikiHow.

Many online entrepreneurs expand their market reach and visibility for their personal Internet business ventures by participating in wikiHow with excellent ‘How-to’ guides that are posted on this platform for free. However, these enterprising entrepreneurs also have their own web business site where they post high quality related content that is interesting and captivating to drive massive traffic to boost their own online business ventures. Backlinks may be considered on wikiHow guide articles to direct traffic from this platform to the entrepreneur’s web business site for a greater exposure to the business.

wikiHow contributors could also be affiliate marketers who manipulate affiliate marketing to benefit themselves in earning more side income. This simple marketing option allows the affiliate marketer cum wikiHow contributor to enjoy more earnings with a simple integration of both platforms if executed professionally.

Promotional products and services could be readily introduced professionally through article marketing and blogs on behalf of selected merchants. This would open the floodgates to more traffic and sales for higher profits desired by the marketer. Every affiliate product or service could be generated as a ‘How-to’ guide on behalf of the advertising merchant who may offer excellent commissions for every high quality guide article published on wikiHow.

wikiHow contributors who are creative in their literary skills could seek out companies that have a variety of products and services to be promoted to generate appropriate ‘How-to’ guide articles on wikiHow for free but be paid by the company. That same company could also advertise its web business site on that article page if endorsed by the wikiHow contributor. High commissions could be secured for generating a well written wikiHow guide article, especially if the response to the article is encouraging. But more pay could be garnered with the permitted company ad on the guide page itself. Hence, the wikiHow contributor would be basically reaping a double income from the same source when the article is manipulated in different approaches.

Conclusion

A little creativity and initiative is all that is needed for a wikiHow contributor to make big bucks on this philanthropic platform. Such contributors would certainly feel good to share their knowledge and skills freely to assist those who are unable to afford professional assistance, but at the same time, these contributors are able to generate some income for themselves.

Nothing feels better than being able to contribute to society with a side income.

Can a newbie really sell an internet marketing product on the the Warrior Forum or in JV Zoo and earn money?

If you are a nobody (a.k.a. newbie) like me and you are selling “how to” information products, your chance of getting sales and building a buyers list is from zero to slim. You just cannot teach about getting traffic and coaching those marketing tactics because you have to establish first your credibility to a tightly knitted community which will take time to nurture. You can try PLR pdfs and videos, but it won’t cut it because the WF buyers will know you are not the author or an expert you claim to be at all.

The Warrior Forum, arguably the biggest internet marketers’ forum is populated by experienced marketers and newbies looking for gurus or mentors. So how did I do it and what you should do too?

What should you be selling first if you are a newbie and have no connections?

Marketing software is the best product to sell. First, it has a higher perceived value compared to training courses, pdfs and videos. Second, if the software is top-notch, the buyers won’t give a damn if you are a newbie or not. Remember the “what’s in it for me” is the mantra of most of the buyers. The demo of the how good the software and how it can help them in their marketing efforts are the ones doing the selling.

Look at the top 3 bestselling products to date in JV Zoo below are all software. Need I say any more? The figures speak for themselves. No contest really.

But software development is costly and I am not sure if the is what the marketers want ?

There is another easy way. Buy reseller or agency rights. I have bought agency rights for $10 as a bonus from a developer many times over and have sold it and I am still selling it on JV Zoo with my own affiliates to boot. I have bought 200 reseller rights for less than $200 which I already have earned 15 times the purchase price and I’m still halfway to finish selling all the rights. I just recently paid another $10 for a product for the bonus of having my product emailed to thousands of subscribers. And guess what product I promoted?  A reseller software product I have in JVZoo and it has done well for a $10 purchase.

Look at my sales in WSO forum below. While majority of the gurus and the veterans in the Warrior Forum are selling their wares from a ridiculously 5 dollars to 17 dollars and have to answer to so many doubters, I am selling my reseller software products for… wait for it… $47 a pop. A pricey one compared to the average sale price inside the forum. You can check my WSO sales page here to learn how I presented the product.

What are the guidelines I followed in choosing a good reseller software products ?

1. Only buy reseller rights from top-notch software developers with world class support. There are many of them but be careful of some the fly-by-night ones that disappears once the software has major problems.
2. Make sure that the software was a best seller when launched. The software I am selling had more than 3,000 plus happy buyers. Buy only software that has sold at least a thousand with no bad feedback.
3. Support should be handled directly by the developer himself so you will be hands off from any technical support. Your role is to make sure the buyer has no problem accessing the product. If the developer cannot do support for the life of the software, then it is a sign that it is not a good buy and may trigger refunds.

Where can I find a top-notch software I can use to build a buyers list ?

Most of these reseller softwares are on limited time only and comes as special from time to time only. However, you might qualify to receive free 4 top-notch softwares  available in Profit Canvas Pro if you are serious about list building using email autoresponders.

So where will I go from here after they bought the software ?

Every buyer will be a part of your buyers list as long as you have an autoresponder integrated into JVZoo. It is a must that you own a reseller software products in JVZoo to build a buyers list. How to develop and nurture your buyers list is another topic but in general, you should continue to give then valuable content as you go through. One example is this real experience post I shared to my buyers list which can be another stream of income for them.

When content creation is done correctly it makes your online presence more visible and everything all the more easier. However you need to create good content on a regular basis so that it becomes engaging and holds an audience.

So how can you create profitable content on a consistent basis?

The strategy that you need to focus on is creating content consistently. Even if you suck at it first, if you keep developing content with confidence you’ll get to creating it with excellence.

Nobody is judging your content for its grammar, spellings or sentence structure. It’s not high school where your teacher will mark what you do with a red pen. Just write what you like best. Yes, good grammar and sentence structure are attractive but if you focus on writing what you want the public to know and the information is basic and authentic that’s pretty much what’s needed.

The best way you can create engaging content is to write as if you are talking to your audience. Write in the third person and talk to your reader. Be open in your writing as if you are having a conversation with someone you know.

Another thing that you can do to write good content is to tell the public what they don’t know. For example, if you run an online store selling clothes and accessories, you can focus on creating content that encourages people about dressing up; talk to them about latest fashion trends or what’s hot and in style. Make content that is of interest to people. Write what you would like to read yourself. Talk because dry content wouldn’t attract readers. Make lists, write about how to do different things etc.

People will be attracted to your opinion. Voice what you believe in and speak that out loud. That doesn’t literally mean in your own voice but tell people what your belief is so that they can know.

Stay away from private label rights. This PLR is you buying someone else’s content and calling it your own. If you do this, your business/product wouldn’t come across as it’s supposed to. It won’t have that personal feeling attached to it.

Powerful content creation is no big deal. If you learn how to hook your readers and keep them engaged you can easily sell your content to them without any hassle. Just make sure to stay neutral in your approach, write what you believe in. Don’t engage in writing paid content or reviews or else you’ll lose readers.

If you want to learn the secrets of creating powerful and very profitable content in as little time as possible then you need to visit http://jtpcoach.com/contentcreationblueprint.

Here you will find whatever you need to know about powerful content. It’s easy and not at all time consuming. Just follow the link and in no time you’ll have the key to high end content creation in front of you. No need to worry anymore. This is where you can learn the art of ultimate content creation.

So what is the biggest stumbling block for internet marketers, both new and old?  It’s a question that many people ask, and it seems there are many answers.  In my honest opinion few are right!

The answers I have heard include:

Shinny Object Syndrome – this is where people jump from one idea to another believing that the next launch, the next ebook, the next software product is “the one” that will make them rich

Not having a list – certainly this is a stumbling block, as we all know “the money is in the list.” However even without a list you can potentially make money

Lack of traffic – oh yeah this one is said a lot.  You see people say “but if I had more traffic I would make (more) money.” But again that is not always true, as even if you had 200 people a day visiting your site if they are not targeted or not buyers you won’t make money

“They” have all the luck – many people blame others thinking that they have more luck, they have special skills, they were born to the right family etc, etc, however again all of this is poppycock!

Lack of knowledge – kind of like the above. People will blame the fact that they don’t know everything thus they can’t possibly launch a product or service

My product is not yet perfect – oh the “don’t release it till it’s perfect” answer.  Let me tell you there is no such thing as perfection!  Since this is your product you will always see fault with it, you will always want to improve it.  The important thing is that you launch the product when it is good enough for the market. I don’t mean you should produce half finished products, I mean you need to know when a product is ready, and not always strive for perfection

You see when a person wants to find an excuse for not putting something out there they will. However, sometimes people don’t even realise that they are undertaking self sabotage.

But let me in on what I believe is the big secret to success!

Planning and Taking Action Fast!

They say money likes speed.  The quicker you are the more you make.  But you know the problem a lot of people have, in my opinion, is they don’t plan.  They see an internet business as being different from any other business out there! For some reason many people believe you can just start a business like that, super quick, no planning involved.  And then they wonder why they don’t make money

With an offline business before you open your doors, you are planning all the way.  Planning your premises, presentation of your goods, what you will sell, how you will make money out of each customer … the list goes on.

When it comes to the online world it seems most people forget about this. They don’t plan.  And let me in on a secret – I have been guilty of this too.

Here’s what has happened to me:

• Decided to launch a product
• Created the product
• Created the sales page
• Made a lot of sales

Then suddenly thought, shoot I never:

• created an upsell
• darn I forgot collect email addresses and put them on my autoresponder
• oh man I never put any ads on a download page

Honestly I did not have a process in place.  And it is not just me. I have seen other people who  have had great launches end up being what one one might call “one hit wonders.” They have one success and then disappear.  Why? No succession planning.

It’s down to the planning

The truth is that some people create a product simply for a quick fix, to get them out of a hole they are in.  Imagine a shop opening up for a week, then once the initial stock was sold doing nothing as they just needed to make some quick money.

People would soon think how odd it was, that they are not following up with customers, restocking the shelves etc.  But this is what so many people online do.  They create a product, sell it then they kind of disappear because they have made the 3k that they needed to cover the rent or other expenses.

Those who succeed are those who plan, who take the time to think like a chess player, they think 3 or 4 products ahead. They have all of the pieces of their game lined up.

Look at the big players out there, or even the medium players.  They have a well oiled process when they sell a product. Watch the next launch or promotion one of the big dogs do and learn from it.

Getting back to basics

Ok so by now you know you need to plan. However, there is planning and there is planning.  This is something I found out the hard way.  You need to create a plan and stick to it. Don’t use the excuse of not having time, as one hour a day used wisely is better than 7 hours a day wasted browsing Facebook!

Over the years I have refined my plan and finally decided that I was going to share it with others in the form of my FastActionPlanner series.  These planners take you through the first 4 important stages of your document:

• Niche Research Planning
• Product Name Planning
• Product Creation Planning
• Sales Page Planning

Each planner prompts you to take action and guides you each step of the way. However more than that, once you have your plan and launch your product you then have a blue print to do it all over again.  But this time you will able to do it quicker!

If you’re serious about building an online business I recommend you check out Fast Action Planner.
