What A Snowstorm Traffic Jam Taught Me About Online Marketing?

Views: 4

I was watching the news a while back when I saw a report out of Chicago.  If you don’t remember, Chicago had a brutal winter.  That’s saying something because Chicago is known for having tough winters but this one was for the ages.

On one particular afternoon, it snowed so hard that traffic stopped on the legendary Lake Shore Drive Expressway.  Rather than get stuck in their cars, people were turning off their cars, getting out and walking away.  There were hundreds of cars left in the highway.  It was quite a sight.
It reminded me of online marketing programs.  You see, there’s lots of products out there claiming to teach you how to make money online.  They charge you a couple hundred bucks and claim to give you “everything you need to make money online”.  The problem is that almost everyone who buys these “everything you need” programs, eventually gets stuck somewhere.  It’s something they don’t quite understand.
There’s some thorny unanswered question that halts their progress.  So, they stop and bail out.  Then they move onto the next one.They leave those “everything you need to make money online” vehicles stuck on Lake Shore Drive in the snow along with all those other programs they’ve tried in the past.
This is why Click Funnels coaches are so revolutionary.  Your Click Funnels coach is a tow truck who comes along when you get stuck.
Your coach gives you the push you need to get unstuck and move onto the level of online success.  So, you can make it through the snowstorm and on your way to financial freedom and the lifestyle you desire.

Lessons From The $20k Flight

Views: 2

Selling products online isn’t just about selling or delivering a product or service for that matter.  It’s also about selling or delivering the experience.  You should be giving your customers a sense of status and exclusivity.  Making them feel better than their ‘lower paying counterparts’.  Consider the experience that Singapore Flight gives it’s Suite Class Passengers:

  • The room you get on this flight is described as ‘private cabins that cocoon you in your own little lap of luxury’.  That’s exactly what you get.
  • The interior is designed by a French luxury Yacht designer.
  • Your chair is stitched in Italian leather
  • You get your own stress-free VIP entrance.  You don’t even get your bags weighed in.

This is because you’re better than first class:

  • Your own bellhop.  Check.
  • Golden ticket.  Check.
  • Pass to the private room.  Check.
  • Best food on the planet.  Check.
  • Everyone knows you by name.  Check.
  • Givenchy blankets, pillows, pyjamas and slippers.  Check.
  • Jamaican Blue-Mountain Coffee ($120 lb.).  Check.
  • Private movie experience with BOSE headphones.  Check.
  • The list of luxury just goes on and on.

You may be saying to yourself:  “That’s just not me.”  Maybe it’s true, maybe not.  What we want to look at is the viewpoint of your customer, not you.  There’s always a set number of customers that crave, want and are looking for the experience.  If you don’t give it to them, you’re losing a lot of cash.

Imagine, if just 1 out of every 10 of your customers (it’ll be more than that) that spend say $97 bucks with you.  Then they choose your more top notch program or service for $2k – $26k and up.  Would something like that change your business?  Would it change your life?  What if 3 out of 10 joined your top tier opportunities?  I’m sure that would change your life.  You better believe it will.

That’s what Click Funnels is all about.

Click Funnels helps you attract the elite.  It unlocks the opportunity to lucrative commissions sold for you.  This is the equivalent of your own version of The Singapore Flights Suite Class.

Join the system, interact with new and other successful members in the groups and start getting your own lucrative commissions right away.  Even if you’re selling lower cost products, try to provide a real experience for your tribe.  It’s just really good business.

Free Way To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Website

Views: 0

There’s a quite a number of ways to get targeted traffic to your website for free.  One of them I’ve started using is Cragslist .  Craigslist have a lot of traffic and you can target people in certain areas and people looking for an online business opportunity.  The more targeted you can get your traffic the more likely they are to buy your offer.  I’ve heard people that are getting regular leads from Craigslist.  It’s a great way to get extra leads.  You can also try other Classified Ad websites such as Gumtree which is similar to Craigslist.

You go to Craigslist and then click on post to classifieds.  You would pick what it is you’re offering.  In my case I’m offering a business opportunity and I would pick Marketing/Advertising/PR.  Then you would type in your personal details and then you would describe your product or service.  Don’t make the mistake of selling your product though.  What your main objective is to sell the click.  That is all you’re trying to do here.  When they click the link, the next stage could be to get their email address and then the sales letter would sell them on the product.

There are many other ways to get traffic for free including blogging, YouTube videos and so on.  There’s a course called The One Funnel Away Challenge which gives you at multiple different traffic methods for any product or service.  They cover a lot of detail on the traffic methods.  Some are free if you’re on a low budget and some of them are paid forms of traffic.  At the beginning if you’re on a low budget, start with the free traffic methods and then after you start making money, you can use the paid traffic methods to take your business to the next level.

How Much Are Typical Affiliate Commissions?

Views: 1

It depends on the product or service you’re promoting and the level of commission you’re getting.  With some, you get 5% – 10 %.  With others, you can get 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and above up to 100%.  This is with front end offers.

With back end offers especially if you’re promoting masterminds it can be 30% as there are a lot of costs involved.  Others are different.

With physical products, it can be less as there’s costs to make the products and shipping and handling and so on.  If it’s all digital, the product or service is created once and so therefore the costs are lower so you can get higher commissions.

There’s programs out there that have recurring plans and pay out regular commissions for you getting the customer into the business, for the life of the customer.

Others are paying out with incentives like laptops, cars, holidays and other prizes.

I hope this helps.

What Is Considered Good Blog Traffic?

Views: 2

It depends on your goals.  Some people are looking for thousands of views a month while others are looking for hundreds of thousands of views a month.  Making a return on investment is one of the main things you’re looking for.

I would aim for quality traffic first as this will be highly targeted traffic looking for what you have on your blog.  Do keyword research and search for what people are looking for in your niche with a certain amount of traffic that you can rank for.  This will give you the traffic you need that will be targeted in your niche.  Then you can think of targeting more keywords one at a time to increase traffic.

Try researching long tail keywords as this is very targeted traffic.  You should get good blog traffic and this should start resulting in more leads and more sales for you.
