My Plan In Action and The Benefits Of Being a Genuine Marketer

The main reason to build a list is to build relationships.

I was going to put this in a post in a thread here. I thought it would be wiser to make it a thread for more people to see. I do hope it helps a few of you.

I'm going to use myself as an example. My main page is a free gift (How To Make Money Online) for their name and email. Now this is just going to be an eBook of the basics of what I do. Giving them value in how I make money. Telling them what I do, but not showing them.

On my thank you page there will be an offer to my membership (19.99/month FREE 14 day trail). In the membership, I will walk them through step by step on what I do to make money online. In these steps I am an affiliate for the products I use, domain name, hosting, aweber, e cover creator, ext... Through out the steps I tell them, I am an affiliate for the products. Telling them, this is how I make some of my money. This will gain trust and these are products they need. Giving them value in why they need the product, how to use the product, and why I suggest them to use the product.

I explain that a good marketer will buy a product they are looking for through an another marketer (My product or someone else's). Which is true. No reason to not give a marketer some profits if your going to buy it anyways. With some of the products, I will try to make them the best deal I can with a coupon code. Giving them a better deal. I may lose some money but I would rather have their trust.

I will give them tools I use for free. I will give them every tool I possibly can for free. Gaining more trust that I am trying to help them and giving them value.

In the membership I will give them more free gifts with an opt-in form.:confused: Some of you are thinking, that is weird, let me explain. These gifts are in separate niches, copywriting, make money with kindles, how to lift your spirits, ext... They are all in different niches on different lists. Letting me know which member has what interests and wants more information on it.

Now I have a forums section for any problems that any member may have. Me and my partners will help them with their problems and achieve their goals. This is giving great value as it is the closes to a mentor with out paying for one. Instead of suggesting to their problem, I will help solve their problem. Taking the guess work out of it. Giving them true results.

Everything above, I have set up and ready to go. Soon (month or two) I will have an advance section for one on one mentoring in advance marketing. Of course this will have a bigger one time fee. I will explain that if they are not making any money, they are not ready for the advanced section. You need to be making money in order to take it to the next level in learning the psychology of marketing to double your income. Understanding the thought process people go through when buying/marketing a product. All most making a person buy on impulse when they weren't even looking for it. <<< That is just an example. I will be teaching how to use it with ethical tactics. Getting people excited, jumping for joy and ready to go, for a product they truly want.

The whole point for this long post (Now it is a thread) is, now I have lists of buyers (on different lists in different sub niches) looking for more. They trust me and know I am not out there to scam them. I am there to help and make them more money. I have a relationship with them. Most I probably have talk to either through email, forums, phone, or just in person.

- Example - Think about it. Say I have a list of just a 1000 people. These 1000 people already bought a product from me and saw it had great value, most are making money from the membership. Then I just send an email to educate them in a product I have and how it can help them. But I do not give them the product. Now they are interested in the product and are waiting, literally waiting for my next email. Now this product is good and will help. So I send it out to them telling them to check it out. Lets say only 150 people buy the product. That's 150 x $67.45. Which equals to $10,117.05 in one email to only a 1000 people with only one list.

Times that by 700 people.
Times that with 7 lists in sub niches but is in the same main niche(how to make money online) from my membership.

Now I hope you understand the power of building a list. Building a relationship with your list. AND AND AND why you should be truthful, helpful, being a genuine person. Not looking for the money, but looking to help people in their struggles. Making true friends and actually seeing them face to face. Even if they live 1200 miles away. You can fly to see them. If you did your job good enough, they will have enough money to fly and see you.

A marketer that has a headline "Make $3000 In a Week" is in it for the money. They are putting the thought in your head that you too will make $3000 in a week. That is not a guarantee. They are making the impression that, they are "promising" you can make that money with out truly making the promise. It is just a bad marketing tactic, in which they wounder why they are called a scam and their refund rate is so high.

Let me go more into detail on this subject so I don't offend any genuine marketers that use this tactic, but could improve it. Some products with headlines like this could be a good product and actually help people. Most of these marketers are new and use these headlines because it works. Just because it works doesn't mean you should use it. Your product may be helpful and fabulous. It does not mean you should give the impression of a promise you can not keep. Even if you make every person that buys your product $1000, you are still considered a liar as they didn't make that $3000.

Be creative to grab peoples attention. Sometimes simple is better as it shows trust in your products.

I hope everyone understands my point. It is not only about the money. Money will come last. You being a genuine person comes first. That is the main mindset you need to be in to become a successful marketer.

To a better life
