Mini Sites

As I said previously - your website must have a purpose.

I am sitting here listening to the great Jim Edwards - and he is promoting Mini-sites. And the one thing he says is that mini-sites must have one of 3 main purposes!!

1 - To gather names and email address - opt-in - build your list!!

2 - To sell an item

3 - To promote and drive traffic toward an affiliate program.

Mini-sites should have only one of these Primary purposes. You want people to either do what you want - or go away. Buy or not buy. Subscribe or not subscribe.

If you fail at your primary purpose - you can have your secondary purpuse kick in - but don't show your cards until you have given them the primary purpose option and they have made a decsion.

My choice is that you should always have gaining subscribers as a primary purpose. This may take longer to make quick cash, but builds long term customers that you can sell to over and over.

Hope that helps

Focus - Does your Customer know what to do?

Focus! - Does your Customer know what to do?

Many many websites have no real purpose, at least from a customer point of view. I am sure the people behind them have some idea of what they would like that website to do, but if it is not apparent to the person visiting the site - then your website has not done its job.

So how do you make sure customers know what to do. First put yourself in their mind, and get out of your ego. A website is not to brag about your business. Whether the website is to sell goods, get email address, or build a relationship with your client, then make sure it does that.

And don't try to do all things with one website. Individual sites work best for individual tasks.

More to come!

How long can I wait!

Many people starting a new business, or even a new venture in their existing business want immediate results.

They hear reports of people making the big money, of the huge successes out there, how easy it is. The internet is the fast easy money! Everything has changed and is on steroids!

Well it ain't so. Sure you can have good success quickly at times, but it depends what you start with. Almost all 'overnight successes' put in long hours working before they were ever a success.

So how long will it take to see results?

It does take a long time, and for everyone, that 'long time' is different, depending on their business model, their actions, and their effort.

At least longer than most people expect.

What I would suggest is not focus on the money, but focus on things like the members you are adding to your list, the changes and updates to your website, the articles you have written and sent out. By focusing on these things, you will see that you have done alot of good work that is producing results. Also watch your traffic to your sites, try to keep it growing slowly but consistently.

Also, take advantage of this time to really focus on the people that sign up for your list. Make them feel very special at you will be rewarded.

Make it a point every day to do some activity that is geared towards sales. Some new thing that will bring in people to your website. As time goes on, this will have a cumulative effect that will make your business grow exponentially.

And don't give up!

Simply GoTryThis

I have put the following ad in a few forums, but I have promoted this program even without my affiliate link on many many occasions. Sometimes a piece of software comes around that you simply need to have. GoTryThis is one of those! It not only sets up and controls your redirected links (a must for any serious marketer), but it also track those links (an absolute must!).

Here is the ad:

Change this ugly affiliate link --> https://members.gotrythis.com/aff.php?aff=1351

into this:

http://www.topzed.com/tools/gotrythis

and Track you results in real time!

or maybe some of you like RED and some like BLUE

so:

http://www.topzed.com/tools/gotrythis-red.htm

and

http://www.topzed.com/tools/gotrythis-blue.htm

And I can know how many like each color - all go to the same link and I did these changes on the go - nothing to set up, but both RED and BLUE will be tracked independantly.

EASY set up!

Easy to Manage!

No code on your server to FTP.

Go Try This NOW!

So if you have any questions or concerns - let me know. This program is a bargain at $47. Many programs that track your links charge that monthly and do not do as good of job.

Pick this up now and start using it. It will save you time, and make you more money!
