Social Media Etiquette: how to connect with people

Social Media Etiquette

I realized after getting some friend “invites” on Adlandpro that were at best a sales letter and at worse a spam invite, that maybe it was time to talk about how to get friends and then keep them or maybe a better wording would be how to use good manners when connecting with people.

The fact is social networking is all about building relationships and you do that through communicating. When you send an invite that is a sales pitch..what are you saying about YOU?

Traffic exchanges and Affiliate marketing

Traffic Exchange

I have been doing a lot of thinking about traffic exchanges and not just for affiliate marketing, but also with the advent of social media marketing and have a confession to make, until very recently, I considered traffic exchanges to be a total waste of time and they need to go the way of the dodo bird!

Don’t shoot me yet lol

My reasoning for not liking traffic exchanges came from not getting traffic or poor quality traffic, I spent hours every day surfing and while it was addictive, I never had a sign up for anything and it seemed to me that people just join them to click for the credits being offered and NO ONE was looking at the content being offered. Adding insult to injury at least for me was the sheer amount of spammy or crappy junk being shown and I shook my head and went..no thanks!

Your sales letter - E-Business Success Blueprint Workshop - Part 16

Sales Letter

Previous lesson...

By now, you have a website with a script that captures the email addresses of your subscribers or you just used http://www.surveymonkey.com to analyze your market.

In any instance, you have collected some contacts and determined if there is a need for your products.

Depending on how far you have decided to utilize our free website builder, you might have already a page or two.
Your first task as a marketer will be to write a sales letter.

Yes, whether you like it or not, you will become a salesperson. Therefore, it is paramount that you create a sales letter that sizzles. This is because a sales letter is your ticket to success. It helps you sell products and services even when you’re not there. So, by making it worthy, you will in essence ensure that you get those products sold whether you’re there or not. Therefore, you will learn how to make your sales letter as compelling and enticing as possible so your visitors make an on-the-spot buying decision.

In our exercise we are assuming that you will be selling one product. If you are intending to sell more than one product, your option will be to write sales letter for each specific product. The principle is the same.

Now that we understand the importance of utilizing a “killer sales letter”, we’ll now discuss marketing and how it can be divided into several segments:

• Provide convincing way to click “buy” button on your site. (write your killer sales copy or hire a copywriter to write it for you )
• Tell others about your site
• Bring visitors to your site using creative methods
• Deliver the product
• Follow up to make sure that your customers are satisfied
• Up sell additional products to your customers

Each sales letter will include sales oriented copy and several  "Buy Now" buttons.

Here are the main elements of your sales letter in order of their appearance:

• Headline and sub-headline
• Powerful testimonials
• Include all the reasons why anyone would purchase your product or service
• Tell who you are and use “Social Proof” to establish credibility
• Explain to the reader why you are doing what you are doing to gain their trust
• More testimonials
• Additional product or service benefits
• Closing statement
• More testimonials
• Bonuses and freebie.
• Give a guarantee that one can’t refuse
• More testimonials
• More benefits
• Use P.S to include additional benefits.
• Optional, offer a few more bonuses to cinch the deal

As you will see, we have lots of material to cover. However, it is paramount that you understand the creation of a dynamic sales letter as this step alone can increase your sales by 1000% or more.

In next lessons we will cover Headline and powerful testimonial of the sales letter.

Till next week.

Ask for the Referral!

Now, I don’t know about you, but I like to get maximum bank for my efforts, which means I would rather get paid a lot more than minimum wage for my work.  But if all I go for is lots and lots of traffic, I’m going to do a whole lot of work that I’m not getting paid for.  Trust me;  it can take a MASSIVE amount of un-targeted traffic to get one sale.

Even when you work to get targeted traffic to your sales page, you can spend way more time than you need to getting that traffic.  Just because your traffic is targeted does not mean you’re going to get a lot of sales.  Targeted traffic from people who don’t know you is still going to be a hard sell.

I remember when I was selling insurance door-to-door.   I had a low cost accident policy that would actually cover loggers for accidents in the woods.  If you’ve ever checked out insurance, you would know how hard such a policy is to find.  So when I was selling in a logging town, it was a really great policy to be offering!  Most of my “traffic” was targeted!

How Much Effort is Enough when you’re Digging in the Dirt of your Affiliate Marketing Strategies?

Adlandpro affiliate advice

So many people wonder just how much effort they should expect to put in to implementing their affiliate sales program before they begin to see success from their affiliate marketing strategies. How much effort is enough when you’re digging in the dirt of your affiliate marketing strategies?  My answer is, “Just enough.” Just enough, that is, to make the first sale. Then just enough more to make the next sale. Then just enough more to begin to make some real money. Then just enough more to hit their income goals. If you keep on doing just what it takes, it will be just enough to get you to the next level. That’s all you have to do.

Adlandpro Hosting Advice

Once you have designed your website, you need a quality web host. This can be your ISP or a specialized web presence provider. Here are some things to consider when choosing an ISP.


Determine the purpose of your site. Is it a family site can you host it on a free web hosting service? Most of the major search engines offer free 'home pages'.

If you’re unfamiliar with HTML, make sure that your web host offers the ability to manage and upload new files or photos without any knowledge of HTML and FTP.

• Determine whether web host offer easy to use web page editor.
• Determine whether your web host offers you the flexibility to make your own directories and use advanced features if wanted.
• Determine whether they give site statistics and the information you need to make promotion decisions to help get your site to the top.
• Does your provider provides you with any extras like marketing, point and click, traffic and site building, and/or powerful graphic tools?
• Determine what options you need now or in the future. Does it offer an easy upgrade to more advanced hosting solutions when you require them?
• In addition, you might also consider what options you may need in the future, how easy it is to change domain names, and/or upgrade to more advance hosting solutions.

Just remember that you typically get what you pay for in a web hosting company.
It is worth paying a higher monthly fee to host your site with a good hosting provider. You’ll not only get great service but you’ll also get the peace of mind that your site is up 99.9% of the time and that visitors can access your pages fast.

I recommend in general one service for hosting of your website.
One service which I recommend with closed eyes now, is Site Build it by Dr Ken Evoy.

Not only I know how high quality service he offers but I also know how successful are some of his customers due to tools he is providing virtually for free.

He is adding new features all the time and the price stays the same.
Check it out here if you don't have hosting company yet.

If you are looking for personalized approach, you might want to check services offered  by David A. Weed. The company he runs is called Warp Drive Enterprises, Inc

Here is what David says about his business when I asked him how is his company different than others.

You see most hosting services try to pack as many websites as possible onto a single piece of hardware called a server. I’ve seen a server with as many as 150,000 websites being “hosted” at the same time. Typically though a single server can handle 500 to 600 “normal” sites before it starts to slow down and crash. IF your website seems slow and is down a lot this could be the reason why.Now at Warp Drive Enterprises we feature Warp Speed Hosting. We never put more than 500 or 600 sites on a server to begin with. We also monitor everything going on in the server to ensure that everyone is getting the absolute fastest performance their website is capable of delivering. This means your site loads faster and has fewer errors than one on an overloaded server. This is important because the search engines *do* factor in the time it takes a site to load or how often it is “offline’. All else being equal, a site on Warp Speed Hosting will do better with the Search results than a site sharing a server with 149,999 other sites.
