The Marketing Funnel

The more people that you put in the top of your business, the more will pop out at the end.

This is my plan for this year, building the foundation of your front-end funnel. If you send enough traffic to your squeeze page,with a free high value gift, it could be a short report, video, and then turn that person into a lead (Subscriber) wants they op-tin & then turning that subscriber into a buyer from your low price high value product, and then turning that customer into a repeat customers who join your continuity programs, and buy your high price products that increase in value at the back-end of your funnel.

Because the first contact point your subscriber will hit is your squeeze page (Traffic Line) and then down the line at the bottom of the funnel you will sell them high price back-end products.

For example:

What you are seeing here is going to be my business model. I think that this is the most profitable business model out there, because if you can get traffic to your squeeze page, and then turning that lead (subscriber) into a customer by buying your high value low $10-20 product that they simply can’t refuse to buy, and then entering your funnel that become repeat buyers, that know, like, and trust your marketing products that increase in value.

I hope you are seeing how powerful this modal is, and by doing this, your business just keeps growing with massive momentum.

So by increasing the traffic to your funnel, and increasing the conversion the more sales you will make as a result.

Last Post For 2009

It’s December the 16th today and this will be my last post for 2009, roll on to a new decade. This year has been what I call a wakeup call year. From last year’s situation I was still in a full time job working as a Graphic Designer/Web Designer. And as of last April I quit my job to work full time as a Internet Marketer/Graphic Designer and boy did I do the right thing.

Since leaving in April it was a wakeup call to me, knowing that to replace my pay check and pay the bills is all down to me. and through massive momentum from some people this year, I have gone the whole way to make it happen. Let me explain:

Since I was 16 when I left school I always wanted to have my own business. not to live the lifestyle as such, but to be independent upon myself to have that desire to wake up in the morning and love going to work, and also love what I do. Now from leaving in April 2009 I took that (I have had enough attitude) and ran with it to build my business.

This year I have met some inspiring people, I Went to Lee McIntyre’s Inside Out / Upside Down Momentum Workshop in Manchester in August, I first met Lee McIntyre when he first got started online in 2007 and he has grown his business at a incredible growth these past few years. and also while at the event met some great like minded people there to network with and build ongoing relationships with too. And in October I think  that was the date :’) went again to meet up with Lee and other marketers alike. Such as John Thornhill, Dave Nicholson, Dean Holland, Alex Jeffrey’s, and many more…

Also since going full time online have partnered up with Dan Thompson from D9 Hosting to manage the Graphic Design work for his clients. Dan & Paula who run D9 Hosting do a phenomenal job, and there customer service is just incredible.

So it has been a incredible year, and hope to build the business allot further in 2010…

Have a merry Christmas, and I wish you all success.

Danny

UPDATE: As mentioned in the post regarding Lee McIntyre’s success growth from the past few years, he has now opened up a coaching program where he shows you everything that you need to do step by step to build a $100,000 per month business online. Lee is my most desired marketer that I learn from. He content is by far the best around.

If you thinks that this is just another recommendation then think again, just head to Lee-mcintyre.com and see tons of valuable information. and if you want to get started right now then here is the special link to gain access to Lee McIntyre’s new coaching program.

When I went to Lee Mcintyre’s Workshop

I recently attended Lee McIntyre’s Inside Out / Upside Down Momentum Workshop in Manchester, It was my first workshop that I’d ever been to, and I have to say what an incredible workshop it was.

Well It’s Friday, and WOW what a week it has been, Time for a chill this weekend and watch the footy I think.

I got a personal email from Lee McIntyre’s Operations Manger James Teale, offering me a ticket to Lee’s first workshop. And if your not familiar with Lee Mcintyre, then shame on you, because this guy is totally oblivious to all other Internet marketers out there, that just don’t share the ins and outs of what it takes to build a real business.

So after receiving the email from James, I thought to myself I can’t miss this amazing opportunity to meet Lee & James again, so considering I live in Manchester I just had to go.

After getting there at 8:30am in the morning, I was one of the first to be there, and was anxious to learn and see Lee perform at his workshop. So after the first 2 sessions of the event, It was time for a quick break, My mind was going round in circles because it all started to make sense to me what I needed to do, and taking it to the next level.

So I was heading out for some fresh air, and saw Dave Nickelson, And Dean Holland heading for the bar, So I gets a beer, and says Hi to them. and it was a great pleasure to meet them, It was also great to see how they run there businesses.

So it was time to head back to the workshop, and finish the first day. After Lee had finished I was completely blow away with what he shared and it all started to make sense to me, and to know what it takes to build a real business, that just keeps on growing with momentum.

So long story short, after the workshop we headed to weather-spoons for a bite to eat and a beer, and chat about what we had just seen, and met some great people. And I promised myself I would go home and get a good night sleep for day 2 of Lee’s workshop.

BUT NO!! me being me, I could see some of the marketers wanted to head into town for a few more beers, and Dave Nicholson, Dean Holland, Randy Smith and a few more, were going to. so town it was, It got to like 2.30am in the morning and turned into a great night.

BUT I had way to many beers, and new I had to be there again the next day, I woke up the next day – to find that it was 11:30am in the morning (I OVERSLEPT) I couldn’t believe it. a great tip for you if you go to an event, Don’t let yourself have to many beers lol. But all in all It was a pleasure to go to Lee’s Workshop and hope Lee forgive me for not turning up the next day with a hangover :’)

If you want to grow your business quicker, you need to get yourself to a workshop, Lee really does deliver in what he says, Personally I’ve gone through courses, and courses, but you will never ever succeed to your expectations if you don’t listen and learn what LEE MCINTYRE has to say.

Sorry for the long post, but I feel it was important to let you see that going to one of these life changing workshops, you get more momentum quicker than you would in a course.

Take care, and talk to you soon.

10 Steps To A Killer Squeeze Page

I’ve got something very interesting today, that I think you will find very useful when it comes to a killer squeeze page that converts well.

So step 1: Your Headline – The most important aspect of your squeeze page, is not the graphics, it’s not the template, it is however the headline. Your headline is what gets people taking action on what you have to offer. If your headline isn’t catchy then forget about building a list, and making lots of money. Your headline should be a strong benefit for whatever they are signing up too crucial.

Step 2: Always place the opt-in box above the fold – If you are offering something of value, and they have to scroll down to enter their name and email address, then you will get less signups than if you were to put the opt-in box above the fold. In over words the top half of the page, so they don’t have to scroll down to see it.

Step 3: Put the opt-in box in the upper right of the screen – When someone comes to your website they start to read from left to right, so their eyes will naturally gravitate to the form.

Step 4: Make the opt-in the main focus – If you were to go to a website for information on a topic, and you were hit with to many options, then you would search somewhere else. Don’t confuse the visitor with too many options.

Step 5: Place the main benefits’ of your offer using bullet points – In every Killer Squeeze Page you will see the main benefits’ of a good offer. Bullets points also break up the page visually, which means your message hits your reader’s eyeballs right way.

Step 6: Use the word FREE! – FREE is one of the most powerful word ever, when people hear or see the word FREE they are more likely to take action.

Step 7: Give a Valuable FREE incentive for subscribing – giving value is very important in order to grow your business. If people see the value in your FREE material then they are more likely to buy your paid material. Always offer 10x more value as well.

Step 8: Show an attractive image of your offer or product – by showing an image of your offer, people will be more likely to take action. because they are seeing what they getting, before they sign up.

Step 9: Only ask for the name and email address or email only – If people have to enter in there address and phone number, then they are more likely not to enter their details in (Less Conversions) The less information you ask for, the higher your conversions will be!

Step 10: Have a privacy statement and/or a link to your privacy policy, As much as people hate spam, they are sceptical of giving away the name and email, by letting them know that there information is safe. they will feel safe entering the details in.

So that’s it 10 Steps To A Killer Squeeze Page, always have this check list the next time you a designing your squeeze page.

Speak to you soon

New Video Squeeze Pages

Frank Kern sold his Mass control 2.0 course via video, with a simple 15 minute video. they even work with services, such as john Reese’s latest launch of oppertunity.com that was created and marketed by video. video just plain and simply works period. people relate to video allot more, than some random person coming to your website and seeing this 20 page webpage that looks really ugly and can’t be bothered to read it.

Don’t get me wrong direct sales letters work and work extremely well, I’m using them now. But as of 2009 most of the marketers are turning to selling all their products and services via video squeeze pages.

Russell Brunson one of my favourite mentors, came out with a business modal called Micro Continuity, and has these little video squeeze pages, selling continuity all via 30 seconds videos. video has dug a huge whole lately in the internet marketing niche with selling information products and so on. and it’s only going to get crazier.

Lee McIntyre sells most of his products via video too. The point of why, and how they create these video squeeze pages is this. they work like gangbusters.

So with the proof  that video works with selling your products with squeeze pages. People find it hard to create videos, and insert it into their non existing squeeze page. and the whole point with having a squeeze page is to have a good converting one right.

TIP: If someone comes to your website and have never even heard of you before, the first thing they think of is, is this guy for real. by using video, people come to your website, watch the video, and these 3 things going round in there head happens, they now start to feel like they know you, they like you more, and they start to trust you, more, because you’re not hiding behind your computer desk.

I must admit, I’m not using video just yet, but will be implementing it very soon. To connect with people via video, is way more powerful than reading about you on an sales letter or an article.

WOW that’s great, but what does’ this have to do with me, well here comes the juicy bits. We have an exclusive set of brand new professional looking video squeeze pages that you can use right now to sell your products with. I always over deliver value 110%  these are not your ordinary crap designs, non converting templates, these will just plain and simple blow you away.

We have created 20 clean style video squeeze pages, along with another 5 exclusive templates that you will be simply blown away with. and also comes with video tutorials to help you create your videos, and also come with 40 graphics, not just any graphics’ but these graphics will explode your look and feel of your new squeeze page., such as twitter grpahics.

Aweber At It’s Best

And there service is just incredible, they are always adding new feature’s to there ever growing service, and I was chatting to a friend about what is double opt-in. and why he doesn’t like the fact that whoever enters in their name and email address in to the form, they have to confirm that they signed up through your form and have permission to send you information.

Now Aweber has a strong believe that having double opt-in will reduce the risk of SPAM. which many are aware of, and to know if whoever typed in the email address is a real person.

Now following the chat I had with a friend, they were saying, how do you get people to take that extra step and getting them to confirm their email address. well we were talking about having a html page with written instructions on how to confirm your email address, and receive the information. Or even a video placed. but Aweber have introduced there new confirm audio.

Now for those people who struggle to set up instructions like audio, vidoe est. They have saved us the job of creating our own. so when you opt-in on any of my forms, you will get redirected to the page above (the image above) with a 20 second audio giving you the instructions to confirm your email address.

I love this feature a lot, and the conversion rate for each person that confirm’s their email address has raised since I had just written instructions. thanks to Aweber at it’s best.

I would say that I am positive that Aweber are  the only service doing this. and they give you all the tools and resources that you need to build your list allot smoother, is what make me a lifetime customer.

If you want to check out Aweber the then click here.

Thank for taking the time to read this little tip, that can have a dramatic affect on your lists,  and I’ll be in touch soon.  Take it easy

Your Own Personal Facebook Profile

For me personally I only catch up with old friends on facebook a couples of times a month. But the big picture here is that to own your own private link you would of have to have paid thousands of dollars, to have your personal Facebook profile.

NOT ANYMORE!

Right now if you want to send someone to your profile, you have to figure out a URL that looks something like this:

www.facebook.com/people/Your-Name/585946540

(That’s an inactive URL, BTW, no need to click it.)

But wouldn’t you rather own www.facebook.com/yourname? (or your company name)

Buy having your own company name set up to promote your business.) Can you imagine how you felt if someone else were to own your company name on Facebook?

In the past, it was easy to own your own name on Facebook, all you had to do was to spend a large amount  of money with Facebook (think $40,000+ per month) or be a huge celebrity, and it was yours. but not anymore for the little guy.

If you did managed to get your name, then congratulations to you, because you are the only person in the world with your own name for facebook. Or your company name.

If you grabbed your company name, can you imagine how much traffic you will get for nothing just buy having your own personal facebook profile for free.

If someone else has already has your name, get creative – add a period, or a dash, shorten it, lengthen it, or slap a number in there somewhere.

So go ahead and claim your own profile name now, before it’s gone.
