Can anyone help me to get things finally moving!

Hey Beatrice

Got some slots free, what are you looking to do?

6 months may feel like an age (especially if you get optins with no sales!) but it is a blink in the IM world :-) if you had said 6 years we might have all got a bit worried for you

Sounds like you have done the hard bit and just need some 1on1 management, fire us over a PM and an overview of what you would like to master and what you are doing in general

Youll get sales by getting involved with and speaking to your list, educating them on what results you anticipate them achieving by using your product, and asking for the sale!

Hi Beatrice

I do offer a paid 1 on 1 coaching / mentoring program (currently full anyway) but it sounds to me that you might just need a push in the right direction rather than a "full on" 1 on 1 coach/mentor, at least to get you moving.

Feel free to PM me or catch me on Skype and I'd be glad to offer any free advice I can give you.

Cheers

Perhaps what you need is a marketing team or network to work with, share ideas, assist each other to help you grown your business.

1 on 1 may seem great, but it is then hard to capitalize on the assets and collective inertia of the group.

I don’t like mentors because many of them are merely mentors and not real sellers. The best thing you can do is to keep studying internet marketing, following various posts in the Warrior forum, and in many other similar forums. Making money online depends on many things.

First of all, you must sell the right products to the right people. You face a fierce competition online, in all fields. There is a LOT that you must learn if you want to be a successful internet marketer. A coach cannot teach you everything. You have to study alone, reading many posts, making questions, applying what you learn in your business, etc.

Don’t waste your money. Study internet marketing for free, and you’ll understand what you have to do to make money with time and perseverance. A mentor will tell you that ‘you must do this and then you must do that’, etc. You can learn alone what you must do if you pay attention to all the posts at the Warrior forum, without having someone telling you what to do.

And, even if you’ll follow a mentor’s guidance, you’ll still realize that there are many other things that he/she didn’t help you solve. Perhaps you are doing everything wrong and you have a lot to learn. Perhaps you are very near success but there are a few details you still didn’t understand yet. If you are doing everything wrong, I don’t think you'll find a sincere mentor who will tell you this truth. If you are near success, a mentor will only show you obvious things. You’ll feel that you spent your money for nothing special in the end.

Beatrice, chill out before discounting something as a scam just because somebody says it can be cheap or easy.

Cheap depends on how much money you got.

Easy depends on your knowledge and skillset now.

Beatrice I hope you reported him for the PM if it was a load of spam!!!

I also don't agree that a mentor wouldn't tell you that you are doing it all wrong - a mentor is there to teach you and show you how to be successful, they aren't going to just tell you that you're doing ok and let you keep going with what you're doing if it's wrong - that's ridiculous.

If you do find a 1 on 1 mentor I do believe they are quite expensive so are you really prepared to go down that track? I know it should pay off and make you successful but it could be a big investment.

It certainly sounds like you're doing the right things with your promotion but I don't know how much you are doing so it's hard to comment. I don't know what your income source is either, the video course is a free course, do you then go on to promote your own product for sale or affiliate products?

How much traffic do you get from ezine marketing?

I can help you if you like.

Beatrice: BE PATIENT! Impatience, more than anything else, is what lines the pockets of the gurus with gold. People don't want to spend a few years building a business. They would rather throw away fifty or a hundred dollars, or more, on the hope of instant success.

It took me a year to see my first paycheck from IM. It took another six months for the pay to become steady, and for me to develop a second source of web income. I just learned today that a third website is now producing. I set it up around the first of the year. Now I need to go back and hit it with some serious SEO.

I am still not making enough to quit my day job, but I look back and see a steady increase in income, and I am rapidly approaching the "rinse and repeat" point.

This takes time, just like building any other business.

Hi Beatrice,

I don't have any advice on who would be a good mentor, but I just wanted to say hang in there in your efforts to succeed. Sometimes it takes a little while to get moving.

Good luck, and don't give up!

Hi Beatrice

The product you are promoting is good for IM newbies but does it relate to what you are giving away for them to sign up to your list?

I think if you give away a report or something that relates to the product you are selling then you are more likely to have more people buying the product.

As far as selling the product to them once they have signed up - if you give away a report then you can include a mention of the product with your affiliate link. Then I would suggest sending out emails giving your subscribers some tips for Internet Marketing and then perhaps in the 3rd or 4th email you send talk about the product and include your link to it.

You could also start a blog and blog about Internet Marketing in general. If the product is a 'system' to follow then you could follow it yourself and blog about your progress and in every post have a link to the product at the end.

Just a few suggestions - hope you can pick things up and start making some sales

Yes I guess it is related to Internet Marketing but if it isn't making you any sales you may want to try something different. What about if you give a free report also, just a short report perhaps giving a brief outline of Internet Marketing that relates more specifically to what you are promoting. A report that you can include the affiliate link in.

Are you doing many follow up emails?

I clicked on your sig and viewed the site, You say how to create a website at the top of page. Than at the sign in at the bottom, it asks for name, email followed by "Website"? If I want to learn how to create a website, than why ask me about my website. That might create a credablity issue IMHO

Yes, but once you have experienced success with the other niches you can come back to this and you will really be an expert!

If you're getting opt ins right now, I'd say you're doing something right.

The problem is that they opt ins, who ARE interested aren't being sold.

This could be for a couple of reasons...

Maybe you're not attracting buyers, maybe the free product wasn't very good quality, maybe the sales pitch is too heavy from the jump(spammy spam is spammy), or maybe the auto responder series isn't set up right.

Attracting buyers? Are all your ezine articles and youtube videos about getting something for free? If so, you may have a list of freebie seekers. Focus your articles around the idea that making online is like building a business and some investments like creating a website are some of the most important things they can do...then SELL them the report for cheap...5, 7 or 10 bucks. You'll get a list of buyers who are more likely to buy from you...since they already did once.

Crappy Free Report? Did it help you and answer all your questions about setting up a website in an easy to follow manner without over hype selling you on something else? Then it's probably not the product.

Spammy Spam Can? If it's all about upselling to the next stage....you should redo the report on your own. You can use CamStudio (free software) to make the video. Don't promote ANYTHING during the video....just help by providing the info they wanted.

After the video tell them about the emails you're sending them to help them even more and give a few examples of the titles they'll recieve.... they'll like the titles and look forward to your emails... that's great because that's when you're selling!

Next provide some more content (again without selling) to help build a relationship with them that you're there to provide quality info. Give 75% of the time, sell 25% of the time.
