Flipping websites: an easy way to create some extra cash

I know with the turbulent stock and financial markets people are getting sick to their stomachs.

I was reading an outstanding book last night called “The 100 Greatest Advertisements 1852-1958” by Julian Lewis Watkins and came across a classic ad on page 112, It’s an advertisement with a gentleman handing money to his wife with the headline “Here’s an extra $50, Grace - I’m making real money now.” The ad goes on to explain how the husband has taken night courses to get a promotion that pays him $50 more…

Today, I want to talk to you about how you can start small, with a $47 investment and convert that to a few hundred dollars per week of extra income. Times have changed - you need several HUNDRED dollars a week to make a dent in your finances!

The concept is called Flipping Websites Now, treating websites like Virtual Real Estate. The best part is that  anyone can do this WITHIN a few hours of watching the videos.

For $47 it’s priced to be a no-brainer.

It’s targeted to two markets:

  1. People who want to create an extra income stream, turning an evening or Saturday afternoon into $500 to $1,000 of revenue and
  2. Internet Marketers looking for that one distinction, idea or tool that can help them sell more products online.

Check out the site that explains how you can buy and sell websites for profit now.

In these turbulent times it’s going to be tough to make money on the stock and real estate markets.

For $47 it’s an investment worth making - if only to get 2 or 3 NEW ideas…

Onward and upward!

P.S.

What I like about this system is that it’s a step-by-step video series that’s dead-easy to follow.

When I originally watched it, there were 3 things I didn’t know about that I have since ’systemised’ with my money-making websites. That alone has put an extra $640 in my pocket that I was able to trace within the FIRST MONTH.

Even if you never flip a site, learning and understanding this concept is priceless. It exploits what you need to do with your site to get more people to visit it which is one of the most important Internet money-making skills that alludes most people.

I just thought I would share that with you today - this stock and financial market fiasco is not going away anytime soon - the average person needs a break.

This might just be it.

1% Improvement = Your Ultimate Goal or Outcome

1% Improvement – Google it and see what comes up!

Go to Google and type in “1% Improvement” using the quotes or click here.

Yep, that’s my YouTube video that’s in the #1 WORLDWIDE position. Do you know how much I PAID to get it there?!?!

$0.

That’s because it happened 1% at a time, just like the video explains…
Google “Exponential Growth Strategist” and see who comes up AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD WIDE RANKINGS…

So what’s the point?

I guess it’s as straight forward as aim to improve at least 1% each and every day and see what happens.

For example, you might not know that you can purchase .com.au domain names for $36.50 for 2 years. The reason I am telling you this is because a friend and client was feeling ripped off by a Melbourne company trying to sell him the SAME thing for $140…!

The 1% is that if he didn’t know, maybe you don’t either. It’s FREE for me to tell you and it’s priceless to you if you’re like me and own HUNDREDS of domain names!

You’re welcome.

Onward and upward!

P.S.

I can hear you all the way over here… It can’t be that simple and easy.

Guess what?!?!

It is. 1% per day COMPOUNDED = 3,778% in ONE YEAR.

You either IMPROVE at that rate or you GET WORSE at that rate.

Ouch!

Did you pick up a few of my 1% improvements?

If you clicked on any of the links and video - that’s ONE MORE CLICK FOR MY RANKINGS…

The fact that you are reading this is 1% improvement of THIS blog’s rankings…

It all adds up, 1% at a time.

Get MORE clicks INSTANTLY

The easiest way to get more clicks is to WRITE your URL more legibly.

www.SpeedStudyForBusiness.com will out-click www.speedstudyforbusiness.com.

www.MarcDussault.com will get MORE visitors than www.marcdussault.com.

It is even more the case with long URLs like…

www.EmpowernetInternetMastery.com.au and www.empowernetinternetmastery.com.au.

Make sure you use this simple, easy and free technique and watch your click-throughs improve INSTANTLY!

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

P.S.

Another technique that can help that you might want to test is to use hyphens…

www.Get-Better-Grades.com

I know - it’s simple and you might want it to be more complicated. STOP IT!

I’m serious - watch the YouTube video and take the advice seriously - STOP IT!

Stop making your Internet strategies more complicated than they need to be.

“The Internet is the easiest thing that is hard to do.”

That’s only because 95% of the population makes it that way. The 5% who make it simple and easy make MORE than the 95% combined - Ka-Ching!

Think about it - do you want MORE complexity or MORE money in your bank account?

Get 10% More Prospects Into Your Database TODAY

Yes, that’s right – I have an exponential strategy to get 10% more suspects and prospects into YOUR database today.

They are already there, you just don’t know it.

That’s right – they are there, but you can’t find them.

When you search for people with e-mails, they’re not there.

When you search for people with mobiles to SMS them, they’re not there.

When you search for people in New South Wales, they’re not there.

But they’re there.

But you can’t find them.

Confused?

Let me explain.

Chances are your database is not 100% clean and tidy. That means you have data in the wrong places and when you’re searching, you can’t find what you’re looking for.

The solution is for you to do a data cleanse.

I’ve used the services of Birendra Shah – he’s on Guru.com, his ID is 1029306.

He cleans all our data – based on Australian standards and rules for phone numbers, addresses, etc.

He will make sure that:

  • States are correctly and uniformly identified (NSW instead of N.S.W. or NewSouth Wales or N South Wales, etc.)
  • ALL phone numbers are formatted correctly and additional digits, spaces, parentheses and hyphens are removed.
  • Mobiles are all in the MOBILE column and NOT in the PHONE column – if they are not in the MOBILE column, you can’t do an SMS campaign to them!
  • He’ll make sure that addresses that can be, are completed – for example all postcodes 3000-3999 will have ‘VIC’ added to the STATE field.
  • Duplicate phone numbers are removed.

The net effect of doing this means you will ‘GAIN’ as much as or even MORE than 10% suspects and/or prospects from WITHIN your database.

We recently did exactly this exercise and ‘found’ 600 new mobile numbers, we ‘completed’ more than 800 addresses that we could now send postcards and event invitations to.

This is a priceless improvement that costs as little as $100 for a small database and not more than $500 for a larger one.

Contact Birendra and get it done right away – you’ll be glad you did.

Onward and upward!
Dr Marc Dussault

P.S.
Of course there are additional benefits to doing this – for example it simplifies the removal of duplicate entries which will save you MULTIPLES of the clean up. It will help you see your information more clearly as you quickly scan reports and e-mail campaigns.

You’ll be able to quickly spot the errors and/or omissions quickly and easily.

You’ll feel more confident about the data you have. That will be reflected in better customer service and satisfaction.

It’s one of the least expensive and easiest things to do that will make an IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE to your results starting TOMORROW when you get your cleaned data back.

Another advantage of doing is that it forces you to focus on your data – exactly where you are – that is how many phone numbers, e-mails and addresses you actually have. It’s called having a datum or benchmark.

In a year from now, you’ll be able to gauge your progress.

We do this on an on-going basis, every time our database increases by 100% or so.

You can also take this opportunity to combine your outlook, Excel spreadsheets and database for the ‘Double Whammy™’…

That is, if you really want to Unleash The Exponential Potential™ within your database!

Fall, trip and StumbleUpon more traffic

Today, I’m going to tell you all about an Internet site that gives you a whole new way to generate traffic to your site.

It’s called StumbleUpon.com

StumbleUpon is a recommendation system which uses peer and social networking principles to promote webpages that its users approve of.

It’s a word of mouth system - users rate a site by giving it a thumbs up, thumbs down or neutral on the StumbleUpon toolbar, and can post a review on the site, which also appears on the user’s blog.

StumbleUpon has ENORMOUS potential in maximizing brand exposure.

Here’s how…

You can get started by installing the toolbar, which is compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Click here to get it for your FireFox Browser
.

The NEXT thing you want to do is register your site or blog, by going to StumbleUpon, and using your newly installed toolbar to tag and review it by clicking on the blue thumbs up symbol which has “I like it!” next to it.

Once your website or blog gets StumbledUpon, it’ll usually start to immediately receive visitors from all over the world.

This is FREE and AUTOMATIC traffic.

How cool is that eh?

Yeah I know.

[By the way, today's blog post is an extract from the Wizard’s Website Wisdom™ subscription - For $97 you'd get 52 of these ideas... You can register by clicking here.]

I know.

But then again I’m biased!

But thanks for noticing. I appreciate the acknowledgement. I go through a lot of effort and invest a lot of time and yes money to make sure each and every distinction is valuable.

I know some APPEAR more valuable, but EACH one has within it a catalyst to explode your Exponential Potential™.

Sometimes you just StumbleUpon the KEY that unlocks the vault of profits unleashing a new torrential River of Revenue™ that starts to flow into your bank account…
So let’s get back to StumbleUpon…

What does traffic from StumbleUpon do for YOU?

1. Generate rapid exposure for a specific website, brand or concept.

2. Establish a reader base for your blog VERY quickly.

3. Gain numerous backlinks from StumbleUpon visitors with websites (meaning better visibility with search engines).

Here’s a graph to show you the traffic you can expect! http://www.seomoz.org/blog/stumbleupons-fantastic-ability-to-drive-traffic

One thing you HAVE to do is optimise your site to encourage stumbling readers to stay and take a look around.

Good web design is important for StumbleUpon visitors. The average time spent on a web page can be less than 10 seconds. They tend to look more than they read.

Video, Humor, Web 2.0 and eclectic websites do extremely well with StumbleUpon.

Then you need to convert your Stumblers into feed subscribers.

Here’s how the pros do it:

Offer subscriber-only benefits. If you want to build up your marketing list or feed subscribers, Give away free videos, e-books or other materials that are ONLY available to subscribers.

You MUST NOT violate this claim to exclusivity. Remember the Law of Attraction…

If your content becomes too easily available, it lessens its value. Stumblers are LOOKING for stuff they can’t find anywhere else.

Of course you MUST keep producing great content, to ensure people don’t get turned off and unsubscribe!

Stumblers love competitions – use them to ensure your visitors keep coming back.
You can expect an average of 100 to 8000 daily unique visitors once your web page has been StumbledUpon (or is that StumbleUponed?).

The site Dosh Dosh ran an experiment and the best performance was 2000+ visitors in 6 hours – just think what THAT kind of traffic can do for your site!

There is also another way in which you can monetize StumbleUpon and take advantage of millions of visitors.

Put advertising on YOUR site. Use a good banner company that pays you a good rate. Also try private ad arrangements and negotiate for specific rates.

Use affiliate banners or affiliate text links within your content. I would suggest taking the time to disguise the links to improve your Click Through Rate (CTR).

Use video advertising. Remember, we talked about www.Revver.com that allows you to put up videos and get paid whenever anyone clicks on ads within the video…

Monetized image hosts. Several image hosts allow you to earn money whenever anyone clicks on a thumbnail which leads to the full image on their website.

Use subscription based monetization. An example of this is an online magazine, business networking community or forum which offers a premium section for paying members, kind of like the Wizard’s Website Wisdom™, The Dr’s Daily Distinctions™ or Squash Lessons for Marketing…

Buy sponsored stumbles. You can run an advertising campaign with StumbleUpon and pay 5 cents for every targeted person they send to your website. You can target according to personal interest, history of rating similar sites, location, and demographics such as age and sex.

How cool are those suggestions?

Is you head spinning with new ideas?

Isn’t this great?

I told you a long time ago that the Internet is the ONLY truly exponential tool for your business. The Kaleidoscopic Kombinations™ available to you are literally limitless and boundless.

So don’t stumble along with your Internet marketing – use StumbleUpon to generate traffic and sales!

Onward and upward!

Marc

P.S.
I think you have enough ideas to keep you going, so there’s no need for an extensive P.S. today other than to say if you’re like me, the question is always

“What’s my Next Best Step™?”

That is something we work on with our Platinum Members.

Your Next Best Step™ will be different than mine and will be different tomorrow or maybe even later today.

The question is simple, but the answer can be quite complex. Suffice it to say that the purpose of the Wizard’s Website Wisdom™ is to give you a choice selection that you can decide to pick from, like an exponential marketing menu.

What you want to eat today is up to you.

You are the only one who can know what your Next Best Step™ is…

Is it to…

MAKE money today/tomorrow?

SAVE time?

GET new suspects?

Push existing prospects along your Pathways To Profits™?

CREATE a new River of Revenue™?

BUILD pre-eminence?

GIVE more value to prospects and clients to increase RECIPROCITY?

TEST an assumption?

TRY something new?

Expand your scope and reach?

All interesting questions to determine your Next Best Step™.

Why clients are shoving money into Gavin’s pockets

A few days (posts) ago, Gavin Buckett of AGB Solutions told us how he turned a $300 investment into $17,000 of revenue.

That alone produced TWO additional solid leads from THAT BLOG post alone! (If you want new leads, send me your Exponential Success stories!)

The following is an e-mail excerpt from Gavin, giving us another instalment in his success saga…

The KEY DISTINCTION FOR GAVIN’S SUCCESS IS HIGHLIGHTED BELOW…

______________________________________________________________________

Wednesday, April 16th

Hi Marc,

I just thought that I would give you an update on how my Google Adword campaign is going.

I had a meeting today with a company who is based in Sydney (I am based in Melbourne) who found my business on Google and called me. Before I met him, he had self selected AGB Solutions to implement a HACCP system for his business. He had selected AGB Solutions based purely on what he read on my website, and that I was the business to meet his needs, as I was obviously passionate about what I do (check out the landing page: http://www.agbsolutions.com.au/food_safety_programs.php for yourself).

He was in Melbourne for a meeting tonight and scheduled his flight home around the time that I could meet him. We discussed his needs and he reiterated that we were a good fit (he is an importer of quality tea from Germany) and I a supplier of quality food safety management systems. He committed to the project on the spot.

Generally it takes two to three months to have a HACCP system fully certified. As I was his chosen supplier, he was able to fit in with my schedule when I am Sydney next Month for the Virtual Real Estate Empire Building Workshop (I am heading up one day early) and then… offered to prepay the full amount UPFRONT. I normally invoice in thirds at different stages of the project. This blew me away.

Since my last email two weeks ago, I have also had discussions with three other companies, who ALL sound promising. One is a national chain of 16 retail stores with their head office and processing facility in Melbourne. I am meeting them next week; to not only discuss their processing facility, but also to implement systems for their 16 retail stores. This is only in early stages but I am quietly confident that I have already said enough to win them over. ALL from Google Adwords!

I know you like the numbers, so here they are:

My most expensive Adword is…$1.00. My current Google Adword account has cost me about $200 per month over 3 months. Since I set up Google analytics 6 weeks ago, I have had 815 visitors to my site from 15 different countries (688 from Australia). I have had 25 people who I have never met add their details to my data base.

To compare: My current Yellow Pages advertisement is worth $2,400 (about $200 per month as well) and I have had one enquiry, who is yet to commit. Yellow Pages are trying to get me to recommit to 2009. What chance do they have? I now have $20,500 committed revenue and another $25,000 quoted and quite probable (fingers crossed). All from Google! (for the same price PLUS I control this 100% AND can modify my strategy on-the-spot which I can’t do with Yellow Pages)

How would the ad go? Three days for UYMG: $295, accommodation, airfares and transfers approximately $500. $1,400 spent plus three days of drinking water from a fire hydrant to make a possible $45,000.00. PRICELESS. This is 3 months worth of effort. Multiply those metrics over 12 months.

As you say, you do the maths!

I am sure you want to know my current USP for HACCP certification (I have three USP’s now), that includes a number of Dr D’s and Exponential Marketing strategies. It is:

AGB Solutions is Australia’s only food safety company owned and operated by a former Apprentice Chef of the Year who will reveal little known safe food and quality assurance secrets to you if you’re a food manufacturer or distributor who is not big enough to have their own QA manager. You uncross your fingers knowing an outbreak won’t happen to you because we have all the appropriate certified industry skills and scientific knowledge to ensure and GUARANTEE that you will gain HACCP Certification at your first attempt as well as meeting all of your regulatory requirements with friendly, cost effective and practical solutions to ensure your products are safer than your competitors’ and empowering your staff so they never embarrass you (again).

The Guarantee that I offer is:

AGB Solutions is so confident about the HACCP certified programs that we prepare, that we GUARANTEE that your program will achieve certification at the first and only attempt, simply by completing our “11 Point Checklist for HACCP Certification Success”. If the program that we prepare does not pass certification on the first attempt, we will refund you all of the payments that you have already made.

We have worked in and on HACCP systems for almost 10 years. We can offer this guarantee knowing that every single one of our clients has achieved certification at their first attempt and we’re not about to let you ruin our 100% success record!

Thanks for your help Dr D, You rock.

Eat Well. Eat Safe!

P.S.
Now there has to be a P.S. doesn’t there. I would like for Max Ucherek to film me for You Tube.

What is needed for this and what is the cost? As mentioned previously, I would like to do three separate videos to compress my Pathways To Profit. They are:

Video 1: Who is AGB solutions and why should I choose you for our food safety needs.
Video 2: What is HACCP and what are the benefits of implementing HACCP??
Video 3: How AGB Solutions can implement a HACCP System for your business.

I have prepared texts a couple of weeks ago and was going to ask Leela to look over them for me to exponentialise them.

Also, I don’t know if Max can help, but It would be good to have an insert of text while I am talking (i.e. from PowerPoint).

Head down. Bum up.

P.P.S. I was in a business the other day and they had a quote that summarises my approach to your teachings. Remember I was starting pretty low on the knowledge ladder and have made a few blunders that you have pointed out to me. The quote was something like:
If you ask the question, you may seem like a fool for five minutes. If you don’t ask the question, you may be a fool for life.

The reason this strategy is working so well is that Gavin LOVES what he does, is not afraid to SHOW IT and ARTICULATES it in EVERY SINGLE communication with his suspects and prospects. If you START to do the same, you TOO will improve your results in QUANTUM leaps…

I’ll be presenting in Melbourne on Sunday April 6th

If you’re a Melbournian, can you clear your calendar this Sunday 6 April?
