Day 29: Oh heck, I don't know, respond to any emails that came in, watch more orders coming in and...take the rest of the day off!
You've worked your butt off for the past 28 days and you're starting to see some really great results. It has really paid off.
Take a moment to smile and be thankful for all the great things that are beginning to happen. Coz, believe me, this IS just the beginning.
Between the viral reports, the affiliate program, and now the joint ventures, things should start rolling pretty well.
Month 2 and Beyond: From here on, I only need to focus on a few things...
- Building my mailing list consistently, using the techniques outlined above,
- Building a strong relationship with my list members by offering them great value through free reports, articles, and tips, AND...
- Finding and forming new positive and mutually-beneficial relationships with other power players in the field, i.e. joint ventures.
- Offering them great products and services on a consistent basis! These products can either be your own, affiliate products, or products that you buy resell rights to.
Don't be afraid to sell to your list. Those who are only there to get free stuff will probably drop out eventually. And, that's a good thing! That's what you want! Those who appreciate the value you provide for them will stick around for a long time.
Continue to joint venture and make deals with other publishers / webmasters to build your network, build your list as well as generate ongoing profits!
Survey your list and find out what type of products they would want in the future. Find out what their main wants, concerns, and problems are. Then, either find the appropriate products or create them yourself, and offer it to them.
Another powerful concept you can introduce into your business is to add residual income streams. These are usually businesses (your own or others) that continue to pay you a monthly income per each customer that you bring in. You bring in a customer one time and continue getting paid for that customer for as long as he/she is with the company.
A great example I've come across, that has made a lot of people a lot of money over the years, is Warrior Pro also known as Host4Profit. The reason this service is so popular is because it takes a great hosting package, combines that with a ton of really powerful marketing products, and it gives you the opportunity to create a residual income stream that can continue to generate income for you indefinitely. Not a bad deal.
Creating Residual Income Streams
Every successful business has understood and mastered one basic principle. That principle can be summed up in two words: Repeat Business.
Pick any major business name: Microsoft, Walmart, McDonald's . . .
The reason behind their success is repeat business - the simple fact that most of their customers are repeat buyers. Sure, they get new customers as often as they can. But the majority of their business, and profits, come from repeat buyers. These businesses depend on their existing customers to earn consistent profits.
And it's no surprise that the number one reason most businesses go out of business very quickly is this...they don't take care of they existing customers. They don't build a relationship with them, and they definitely don't sell to them more than once.
Just about every business you see, either online or offline, is so busy finding "new" customers that they forget about their existing customers.
You want to know what the biggest marketing secret on the planet is? This is it. This is the biggest secret. It's not coming up with new marketing ideas or trying every new marketing twist that you hear about, or running after every new marketing manual that hits the web promising to teach you a new marketing trick.
The secret really is no secret these days...
Repeat Business!
That's the secret to business and marketing success!
One of the most powerful things you can do to build your business and make a killing in profits is to sell to the same customers over and over again. There's nothing wrong with finding new customers, as long as you continue to sell to your existing customers! That's where the real money is.
It's a simple strategy. It's a powerful strategy! And it works very well for me and for many other marketers. Having your own responsive "opt-in" mailing list allows you to use that strategy.
But . . . what if I told you that there's something even better?!
What if I told you that you could sell to a customer just once, and earn a profit every single month, for many, many years - maybe even for the rest of your life?!
And what if I told you that you are not limited to the number of customers you can sell to? That means that if you were to sell this to 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 customers, you would earn a profit from each of those customers every single month, without having to lift a finger to do any additional work?
Well . . . believe it or not, a business like that exists! And you can be a part of it so you can claim your share of the profits right now!
Now, you will still need to find your customers. That goes without saying, and you're probably doing that right now anyway. But the beauty of this system is . . . that's all you have to do!
Everything else is done for you! The product, the selling, the follow-ups, and believe it or not, even the customer support is taken care of for you!
That leaves you with a lot of time and energy that you usually would have spent on doing the above tasks. With this model, you can use all that saved time and energy on getting more customers and increasing you cash payments every month!
That is the ultimate business model !
The structure of this ultimate business model is simple. It includes a product or service that customers want and are willing to pay for, not just once but every single month!
That means you sell to the customer just once and get paid every month for as long as that person remains a customer.
And because someone else takes care of the product, the selling, the order fulfillment, the customer service and the repeat sales every month, you are freed from those tasks so you can concentrate on getting more customers and increasing your monthly profits!
Again, the main reason this is such an amazing system is this...
You do the work only once, and you get paid for it indefinitely! Now that's what I call "doing less and getting more!" A lot more!
Who wouldn't like to work for a short time and then continue to get paid for the work you did months, or even years ago?
That's the opportunity you have in front of you right now.
I hope you will take advantage of it like I and many other people have.
Closing Thoughts
In closing, I'd like to say that, the strategies I've offered above may sound simple but they work! If you put in the time and effort, you will see amazing results.
Keep it as simple as you can and continue to improve on the basics.
Also remember that in order to succeed massively in business, you have to separate yourself from all the other players in your field/niche.
You can do this by establishing your uniqueness! Find some way to differentiate yourself from everyone else. You are a unique individual and I’m sure you have some unique qualities in you. At the least, be unique in the way you create/write products, package them, or the level at which you offer customer service.
Finally, keep in mind that in this business (or any other business for that matter), you will get to hear some "no's" along the way. You will meet some challenges and bumps.
Don't take any of it personally. Learn from them and keep moving forward. Action and persistence are really the keys to the castle.
To your Success!
