The Last Audio Recording of Corey Rudl has been Released

Marketing Tips have just announced the release of what is, perhaps,
the most informative, shocking, and inspiring Corey Rudl audio
recording of all time.
For 150 minutes (and 29 seconds) you will be a fly on the
wall as the two "GREAT LEGENDS" of Internet marketing and
direct marketing -- Corey and the outrageous Dan Kennedy --
discuss...
How you can make MILLIONS of dollars using the Internet
teamed up with direct mail, radio, TV, classified ads,
Yellow Page ads, infomercials, and MORE!
You'll hear Corey reveal how he made over $40 Million in
Internet sales and taught 1,000s of "real people" how to
make massive incomes of $100,000.00 to $2.5 MILLION (or more!)
per year with the Internet...
You'll hear Dan Kennedy, the legendary GOD of direct (offline)
marketing, talk about how he's made hundreds of MILLIONS of
dollars for his clients, including companies like Amway and
the $200-million-per-year Gunthy-Renker Corporation...
But BEST OF ALL, you'll hear these Millionaire Marketing
Geniuses reveal "advanced" profit secrets that -- until
now -- were reserved for their "inner circle" of close,
personal friends!
For example...
You'll hear the AMAZING true story of two guys who sold
almost IDENTICAL products, with the SAME offer, to the SAME
audience -- yet one guy made $2 Million MORE... all thanks
to just one simple strategy! PLUS, you'll learn which 2
blockbuster marketing ideas Corey got from Dan that made
him over $100,000 in profits (that's cash in hand!) -- in
less than 24 months!
... And that's just for starters!
You quite simply won't find a recorded interview like
this -- anywhere.
A brainstorming session between two marketing geniuses of this
caliber has NEVER been recorded before. And that's why, since
this recording would have been priceless before Corey passed
away, I can't even guess its value now.
To start listening to this 150-minute audio recording right
away, please visit:

I hope you enjoy it...

By the way.........
The "special edition" release of this recording will only
be available to the first 250 people. After that, it will
either be REMOVED, or the price will be raised to $1,499.00
or MORE -- still a bargain when you consider Corey's
consultation rates were $2,790.00 per hour -- and Dan's rates
are $9,600.00 per day!

Online Auctions: New Way of Shopping

Learn the Secrets of Success Selling on eBay

An Article by Tomas York

Online auctions operate on the same principles as the real auctions, but they have the mass appeal, which reaches out to the ordinary Internet users. They are an easy and fun way to buy a product of your choice.

Hearing of auctions always used to bring up visions of a grand room, with the auctioneer standing on a raised platform, taking bids from dressed up people in a dignified manner, and slapping his hammer with a bang on the table every time some one won a bid. It used to be something that one saw in a movie or a rich people thing, which the average middle class person could not associate with. But with the advent of Internet into every facet of our lives, be it keeping in touch with friends, shopping and even dating and marriage, auctions have also become a routine part of an average internet user's life.

There are innumerable auction sites, selling everything from a pen to a used car and even houses if you want to bid from them. You think of what you want and you'll find it on one of the auction sites. All you have to do is sign up, get registered and bid a price for that item. As in real auctions the highest bidder wins the bid, but because the online bids take a long time to close, you have the advantage to checking if your bid has been surpassed and put a higher price on it again. The sites predetermine the increment that you can put on an existing bid. This ensures that the prices are not driven up and more people can stay in the bidding game. The bids placed are binding so don't bid on something just for the fun of it, the sites ensure to take your credit card details at the time of registration so you can't back out. You will find the best deals on the auction sites and the price that you pay for the items by bidding on them will often be less than it's market value.
Auction basics
There are a few simple rules that you can follow to get the best out of an auction deal:
1) Don't stick to a single site- keep looking for better bids on the countless sites on the net.
2) Always bid on the auctions that will not stay open for a long period of time. Longer bids will automatically get more hits, thus minimizing your chances of staying ahead on it. Bids with shorter time limit, for example one that ends in a week are better.
3) Most of the items displayed on the site for auction could be misspelled, which means that not many would have got to that item and placed any bids. Always try to search for these items because the price would always be low on them.
4) Don't bid a higher price than what you want to pay for a product, just because you don't want to lose out on it. Remember that there are other sites, which will most probably have the item you want to buy. A little online research and some patience can get you the product you want to buy, at a lower price than the market on an online auction site. Don't wait, just sign up and have fun bidding!

Basics Of Affiliate Marketing

Whether you realize it or not, if you've been on the Internet
today, you have encountered affiliate marketing. If you have
ever “clicked thru” one site to order something from another,
the first site probably received a portion of the sale. For
instance, independent booksellers have limited shelf space for
books. But they can offer their customers an almost unlimited
inventory of titles by affiliating with companies like Amazon
or Powell's. The more orders, the bigger the affiliate
percentage.

Visitors to your site are interested in lots of things that may
or may not be related to your product. But when you know your
customers well, it's simply a matter of affiliating yourself
with sites that offer what they want. What you receive is just
a small percentage of the sale, but it adds up, especially when
you consider that all it costs you is a link on your web page.
And usually, the more sales your affiliate makes from your
“click thru” traffic, the bigger your percentage will be.

The key to success in affiliate marketing is being able to
track referred customers. As an affiliate manager, you want a
system that reliably tracks what you want, with minimal effort
on your part, and without affecting the performance of your
site or server. Over the last few years a variety of
technologies and strategies have been developed in an attempt
to improve accuracy, convenience, and flexibility.

There are at least half a dozen methods, but by far the most
preferred method is Cookie Tracking. It's popular because it
makes tracking affiliate-referred sales so convenient, without
negatively impacting your site. This system writes a small text
file, called a “cookie,” to a user's browser when they click on
an affiliate link. When you are the referring affiliate, the
cookie holds your ID, so that at the merchant's order page, you
get credit for referring the sale. One drawback is that many
computer users disable cookies, although most choose not to,
since their favorite sites require them. One bonus is that the
merchant can save the information, so that even if a customer
buys long after clicking through your site, you still get
credit for the sale.

Affiliate marketing, at its best, is a win-win scenario. It's
an easy way to offer your customers more of what they want,
while you benefit, both in terms of building goodwill and
making money.

Customers Buy When They Feel Good

Prospective customers will not buy unless they feel good about
you, your company and your product or service. Here are 4 simple
ways you can stimulate their good feelings ...and motivate them
to buy.

1. Personalize Your Marketing

Prospects are more likely to buy from you when they feel you are
talking directly to them about their unique needs. Look for ways
to make your sales message more specific to the needs of
prospective customers.

For example, subdivide your targeted market into several more
narrowly defined niche markets. Then customize your sales
approach so it appeals to the specific interests of prospects in
each niche market.

Tip: You can narrow the appeal of your web site without losing
its effectiveness with your broader market. Just create
customized web pages for each niche market you target. Then add a
link to each of these specialized pages on your home page.

2. Emphasize Good Feelings

Prospective customers usually base their buying decision on how
they feel about your product or service. Get them excited about
using it and they won't hesitate to buy.

One way to get them excited is to convert the benefits provided
by your product or service into a vivid word picture. Put your
prospect in the picture by dramatizing what it feels like to be
enjoying those benefits.

For example: If you sell financial products, describe what it
feels like to enjoy an affluent lifestyle without debt.

3. Confront Buyer Skepticism

A prospective customer will not buy if they have any doubt that
you will deliver exactly what you promise. Here are 3 of the many
ways you can confront and overcome skepticism in your customer's
mind.

* Use testimonials. They prove you've already delivered
satisfaction to other customers. To be effective, they should
describe a specific result your customer got by using your
product or service. For example, "In just 2 weeks I lost 9
pounds, felt years younger and still continued to enjoy my
favorite foods".

* Provide specifics. Convert general statements into specific
descriptions. Instead of "quick and easy", explain exactly how
quick and how easy. Also, reduce round numbers like "15 pounds"
into specific odd numbers like "13.7 pounds". It sounds more
authentic.

* Tone down your claims. A bold claim creates doubt in your
prospect's mind and jeopardizes the sale. Avoid using any claim
that sounds exaggerated - even if it is true. Reduce any bold
claim to a more believable statement.

4. Eliminate The Need To Make Decisions

Try to structure your selling process so prospective customers do
not have to make decisions. Every decision they have to make
interrupts the buying process. It diverts their attention away
from the action of completing the sale.

This can be especially hazardous when customers have difficulty
making a clear choice among several options. Some will avoid the
risk of making a wrong choice by making NO choice ...and you lose
a sale you already had.

That's why you should promote only one product or service each
time you advertise. You can use separate promotions for each
product or service. But limit your prospect's decision to only
"Yes, I will buy" or "No, I will not buy". Don't risk losing them
over a "Which One" decision.

Tip: Sometimes you can successfully combine 2 or more related
products or services into a special combination offer. But limit
your customer's decision to "Yes" or "No". Don't include an
option to buy the items separately.

Prospective customers must feel good about you, your company and
your product or service before they will buy. Start using these 4
simple tactics to stimulate their good feelings and motivate them
to buy.

EXPOSE YOURSELF TO "NO" AND "NOT NOW" TO GET TO YES

97% of all sales are not made on the first call. It takes five to ten exposures (follow-ups) to a prospect to make the first sale. The prospect may not actually say "no" each time, but each time you follow-up and the prospect doesn't buy, he's saying: "not now, buddy; do something else for me; I'm still shopping around; I haven't met with my partner; try again later; in short, you haven't sold me yet".
As a professional salesperson you better have what it takes to persevere through the follow-up process and not quit. Be willing to put forth the effort to get to the last "no," or consider taking a job in a warehouse with a salary.

Here are some follow-up guidelines to ensure early closing success...

Know the real reasons your prospect wants your product.
Know the real reasons your prospect does not want your product.
Know your prospects hot buttons (things you think will make the prospect buy), and work with them in constructing your follow-up plan.
Present new information relative to the sale each time you call or visit.
Be creative in your style and presentation manner.
Be sincere about your desire to help the customer first, and earn the commission second.
Be direct in your communication. Beating around the bush will only frustrate the prospect (and probably cause him to buy elsewhere). Answer all questions. Don't patronize the prospect.
Be friendly. People like to buy from friends.
Use humor Be funny. People love to laugh. Making your prospect laugh is a great way to establish common ground and rapport.
When in doubt, sell the prospect for her reasons, not yours.
Don't be afraid to ask for the sale each time.

If there were a formula for following up it would be their reasons + new information + creative + sincere + direct + friendly + humor = SALE...but there isn't an exact formula. Every follow-up is different, and elements from the above guidelines must be chosen as called for.

Here are a few lead-in lines you might try so that you don't feel uneasy about how to start the conversation...

I discovered something that I believe to be an important factor in your decision...
I'm just faxed you a letter from a customer who had an experience like yours...
Something new has occurred that I thought you would like to know about...
There has been a change in status...
I was thinking about you, and called to see if you found about...

Don't say "I called to see if you got my letter, proposal, info or sample...", it sounds dumb...and it gives the prospect a way out. If he doesn't want to talk to you he'll say, "No, I never got it." Where does that leave you? Nowhere. Why not try: "I sent you some (name the stuff) the other day and I wanted to go over a couple of things with you personally, because they weren't self-explanatory..."

Some salespeople fear that they're "bugging" the prospect if they call too often. If you feel that way it's for two reasons:

1. You haven't established enough rapport and have limited access.
2. Your follow-ups are about selling and not about helping.

It's likely you won't bug the prospect if... He's a salesperson himself; you have something new, creative, or funny to say; you're short and to the point; he's genuinely interested in your product or service; he returns your calls right away; or, he likes you.

It's likely you will bug the prospect if... You call more than three times without a returned call; you ask dumb or pushy questions (probably because you didn't listen well in the first place); you are perceived as insincere; you exert pressure too soon or too often; or, you are in any way rude to the prospect or anyone on his staff.

Follow-up is another word for sale. Your ability to follow-up will determine your success in sales. Ask any professional salesperson the secret for success, he or she will answer persistence.

Great Ways To Obtain Link Popularity

This is a good article by guest writer Ronald Gibson. Learn how to increase the links to your site.



I hate reciprocal linking.

It is such a hassle. Even specialized reciprocal linking
sites don't really help all that much. Many of the link
requests that I do get are from poker sites that are
totally irrelevant to my site's content. Most of the sites
that I would like to link to don't respond. Some sites
supposedly do respond, but, when I search their sites, I
can't find my link anywhere. It is just so totally and
completely frustrating.

Link popularity is a major factor in search engine
rankings. How does someone like me, who despises
reciprocal linking, go about improving my site's link
popularity?

Fortunately for me, I have discovered two ways to do
exactly that. They are blogging and submitting articles.

I added the Work At Home Ideas
Blog(http://www.affiliateutopia.com/blog/) to my website
two weeks ago. Search engines love content and blogs are
about the easiest way to add fresh content to your site.
But, how can a blog improve your site's link popularity?
Most blogs feature their own RSS or XML feed. If a visitor
to your blog likes your content, then he just might decide
to syndicate your content on his website. In the past two
weeks, my blog's XML feed has been hit more than 150 times.
I expect to get at least some new links out of that.

Writing articles and submitting them to article directories
is another great way to get more links pointing back to
your site. You can place your own "resource box"(similar
to the one at the bottom of this article) at the bottom of
your articles. Your resource box wiil contain a link back
to your website. The article directory will publish your
article and--BAM-you have an instant link back to your
website. Submitting articles is a great way to get your
site's popularity going like gangbusters.

Here are some outstanding article directories that you
should be submitting to:
IdeaMarketers -- http://www.ideamarketers.com/
EzineArticles -- http://www.ezinearticles.com/
GoArticles -- http://www.goarticles.com/
ISnare -- http://www.isnare.com/
Internet Home Business Articles--
http://www.internethomebusinessarticles.com/

Here is a little tip for your article submissions. Many
article directories allow you to enter HTML code in your
articles. This gives you the ability to control the anchor
text of your site's link in the resource box of your
article. The anchor text of your link serve as keywords
for the search engines. Use a keyword research tool, such
as Good Keywords(http://www.goodkeywords.com/), to vary
your anchor text from week to week. By doing this, you
will rapidly build up a number of keywords for your site.

By using your blog's RSS or XML feed and submitting
articles, you can increase the link poularity of your
website without all of the hassles of reciprocal linking.
