Issue #25

Hi Friend,

Well the Local Government Elections have been declared
and to the shock of many residents of our humble town there
has almost been a clean sweep of our Local Council with 9
out of 11 sitting members voted out.

This only goes to prove that it doesn't matter what
you're involved in, you should never take anything or
anyone for granted.

This is particularly important in the area of your
online business. You should ALWAYS listen to your customers
or subscribers even if it's not what you want to hear!
Don't ignore them and take the necessary action to ensure
their needs are met.

Last week I mentioned that the seasons had changed and
it was now a good time to re-assess your online marketing
strategy to take advantage of the fact that this is the
time of year most people are searching for an alternative
income stream to help pay for their planned holidays.

Well it's no surprise that the main topic of the emails
I received this week focused on subscribers wanting to know
the fastest method of driving traffic to their website so
that they could fast track sales.

Doesn't it feel good when you're right :-)

So this weeks Feature Article focuses on this very
subject and helps explain the best method of driving
motivated visitors to your site... FAST! I'm sure everyone
will benefit from this topic.

Keeping with this theme there are some great free
downloads in the Killer Resources section to help you get
your marketing on track.

If you use the search engines frequently, then be sure
to read the Tips & Techniques section. I guarantee that
you'll be flabbergasted at some of the great tips you'll
discover.

And don't forget... if you have something to say or have
some useful tips you'd like to share with others, e.mail me
at: ezine@profitunity21.com

Cheers,

Dave and Aaron

Finding Highly Motivated Website Traffic FAST!

by Dave Isaacs

If you're relatively new to the net and aren't yet
receiving a constant flow of traffic to your website, then
you need a method of promoting your products to the world
so that you can start to show some profits.

One of the quickest and most cost effective forms of
online advertising is placing solo ads in ezines. Using
this method you can instantly drive targeted traffic to
your website as apposed to other longer term methods.

If you're unsure what a solo ad is, it's an advertisement
that promotes a single product by email to a list of ezine
subscribers. It is normally sent to an opt-in subscriber
list with no other competing advertisements or promotion
contained in the email.

You can purchase solo ads for as little as $10 per issue
and if you have an effective ad copy for the appropriate
audience they can often produce astonishing results.

If you select a high quality ezine that has a responsive
list, is highly targeted to your product and your ad is
personally endorsed by the owner of the ezine, the pulling
power of the ad can increase up to 10 times the normal
response rate.

There just isn't anywhere else that you can get this kind
of bang for your buck when it comes to spending money on
your marketing.

By testing and tracking your ads and expanding into
different ezines on a progressive basis you could quickly
start reaching thousands of people weekly and earning an
income to match.

So which ezines should you place your solo ad?

Unfortunately due to the thousands of different markets
online there is no easy answer to this question.

However I will outline the following tips to help you
decide which ezine is the best suited to your niche to
advertise in from a money and marketing point of view.

First of all let me tell you something that is fairly
obvious yet I see it happen day after day after day.

It is pointless to advertise your product or service in
an ezine that is totally unrelated to your product!

For example... you should not place your ad promoting a
stockmarket program in an ezine about dog grooming. Sure
you might get some replies. You may even receive an order.
But if you want value for money this is not a good place
to advertise. It's just not targeted to your potential
customers!

The best thing to do is to find ezines that focus on a
similar niche to that of the products or services you are
selling.

If you were promoting a membership site, your potential
customers are people who are either looking for home based
opportunities, wanting to start an online business owners
or are existing internet business owners.

So the most obvious place to start is to search for
ezines that focus on these niches.

Of course the best place to advertise is where the
competition is! If your competition is promoting their
products in an ezine you can bet that it is targeted to
their (and your) niche. So do your homework.

What results should you expect from running a solo ad?

There's no set figure as to the type of response you
should receive with solo ads. It's just too hard to predict
because of other variables that influence your results,
such as a poorly written ad, type of products being
advertised, timing, etc.

But a general rule of thumb is that if you can get at
least 5% of subscribers to click through to your site to
view your product then this is acceptable. So if an ezine
has a list of 10,000 subscribers you should be aiming for a
response rate of at least 500 visits to your website.

I have known some marketing campaigns to achieve as high
as a 60% response rate. So if you have crafted good ad copy
and marketed to a responsive ezine list you can obtain
tremendous results.

A handy tip is to ask the ezine owner for the details of
other website owners who have advertised with them. Then
you can send them a quick email politely asking them if
they were happy with the results of the solo ad they placed
with this ezine and whether they would recommend you use
them.

Another key factor on the success of your campain will be
determined by how targeted the email list is. In other
words how did the list owner attract their subscribers. Do
they have an opt in email list or did they simply purchase
bulk subscribers from a third party.

If most of these people did not ask to be placed on the
list, do they really care about reading the ezine when it
is sent to them or do they simply hit the delete button
when it arrives. These people will never see your ad.

So it is important to find out how different ezines get
their subscribers!

Another important factor to consider is how many issues
do they send out each week and what content do they provide.

If the ezine owner sends out 5 issues a week and all it
contains is ezine advertising you can bet your bottom
dollar that very few people will actually read the ezine.
More than likely they delete it as soon as it hits their
inbox.

I recommend you actually subscribe to the ezine so you
can view the contents and get a feel for the ezine to see
if it really does cater to your market. If you wouldn't
read the ezine yourself then there's a good chance your
potential customers won't either.

A good place to start your search is
http://www.ezineadaction.com which is a unique service
where you can actually bid on what price your are willing
to pay for your solo ad.

Other place to check out include:

http://www.lotsaperks.com
http://www.mywizardads.com
http://www.ezinedirectory.com
http://www.directoryofezines.com

Which ever ezine you choose to advertise in it is
imperative that you track and monitor your results. Very
rarely do you get it right the first time. You must
continually test and tweak your ad to get the maximum
benefit from your advertising dollar.

Yours in Success

"300% More Sales With A Simple Zero-Cost Script!"

by S. Kumar

Which word in the whole world sounds the most important
to you?

Undoubtedly, it's your name!

The moment you see it or hear it any where, your antenna
is up. Naturally and instinctively you notice your name
wondering "what caused" it to pop up!

And you already know that personalizing your email
messages is critical for your subscribers to respond. But
can we take this same personalization a step further and
extend it to even on our WebPages?

Is it possible to call our subscribers by their name
from the web page itself and stand out from the rest of the
marketing crowd?

You can very effectively use this "psychological
trigger" on your web page and directly address your
subscribers by their name when they hit on the links in
your email messages or autoresponder messages.

For e.g. Just replace the "YourName" from the below URL
with your name and see how you are personally addressed on
the Web page:
http://www.learnhomebusiness.com/HomeBiz.htm?YourName

You do not have to be a techie to use this. My sales
have tripled after incorporating this simple script to my
important pages.

-----------------------------------------

Here is the Magic Script:

Please download the Webpage/Sales Page personalization
script from here:
http://tinyurl.com/25s9m

-----------------------------------------

4 Applications With The Web Personalization Script

Once you download the script, you can apply it to get
triple results in various ways. 4 such suggestions are
given below.

*#1. Ezine Campaigns: Before you start the campaign,
just request the Ezine owner to place HIS personalization
tag to YOUR url.
e.g. www.your-campagin-url.com?Personalizationtag

Each visitor will be pleasantly surprised and will be
inclined to take closer look at your proposition.

*#2. Your Newsletters: Whenever you are sending a
special or an issue, make sure that your pages are ready
for personalization and insert the personalization tag in
the emails. Your subscribers will be knocked out of their
socks.

*#3. Tell-A-Friend Page: Just imagine the feeling of
the first time visitor to your site on advice and he finds
he is being personally addressed. More often than not, he
will want to stay and explore your site.

*#4. Autoresponder Sequences: Use the same principle on
every email in the autoresponder. Each time when the reader
hits on a link in the email, he is addressed personally by
his name.

The sweetest word in anyone's personal dictionary is
his own name. Why not address someone with what he likes
most and in the process triple your sales too.
