Everybody is looking for "Insider
Secrets" and "Secret Weapons" to make
their internet business grow to unimaginable new
heights. Well, you came to the right place today
because I am about to give to you the most powerful
information you will ever receive in your online
career.
At first, it may not seem like much, but I want you
to put it to the test. It will push your sales right
into orbit where they belong in your business. The
most powerful internet "Secret" that I know
of is...
"Give First and Prove Your Worth..."
Give something away...And make it something of value.
Don't let it be just some junk you have laying around
or a rehash of something that has been played to
death over and over again.
Go with me for a moment and lets take a trip around
the world (on the Internet of course). Go to one of
the major search engines and visit sites relating to
your industry.
What do you see at most of them. I'll will venture to
say that probably 90% - 95% fall into one of these
three categories below:
1) A Corporate Site that gives you information about
the company, it's location, and it's products.
These sites are obviously institutional advertising
and are not making money online (around 50% of the
sites).
2) Next on the list are those sites which just link
to a bunch of affiliate programs. I don't have a
single thing to say against any affiliate program,
but if you don't have a congruent theme and purpose
to your site, then it just won't fit the bill of
successful sites (around 30% of sites seem to fall in
this category).
3) A better choice, but definitely not the best,
would be the a site which does have a product (or
products) which fits a theme and has a decently well
done sales letter full of benefits to go with it.
These sites can and are making money online, but they
never seem to break through the invisible ceiling on
their profits and become the mega-success stories
online (around 20% of sites fall into this category).
When you really take a look at the sites which are
flooding their bank accounts with new cash, you will
find one common theme which flows through all of them
regardless of their business or industry online...
They are giving first, and proving their worth.
What can you give away in your business that is
valuable to your prospects, but is low cost to you?
In this area, I LOVE the internet. With the internet,
we can create turn-key NO cost products or turn-key
programs on our web site which have a very HIGH
value, but have little or no cost for us to give them
away.
I want to give you some ideas below on items you can
give away, but I don't want you to limit your
thinking to just what I have listed. Open your mind
and begin thinking outside the box.
Go to the store and buy a notebook right now if you
don't have one and mark it for ideas. Write on the
first page, "My Prospects Want..."
Then, every time you come up with something they
want, start looking around the net and thinking of
ways you can give it to them. Whenever you come up
with an idea no matter how farfetched it may be,
write it down. Then, as time passes, keep looking
over it and more ideas will flow and you will figure
out a way to do some of the ideas you have written.
To get you started with ideas and possibly with
solutions, I want to give you a couple of the ways
web sites are profiting right now from the "Give
First..." principle:
1. Ezines - Many people have adopted the Opt-In Email
List plan for giving first. This is one of my
favorite methods which I have been recommending to
people for the last year (I also wrote the course on
it).
The strength behind owning your own Opt-In List is
that you can keep in constant contact with your
prospects and customers. The problem with it is that
way too many individuals are now just producing
me-too ezines that don't contain good quality
information for the readers. They are just rehashes
of other people's information or just a sales
presentation without any good solid information.
How can you produce original content without being a
writer?
There is always a way...How about:
* Researching new tools in your business (Software,
sites, etc.)
* Doing interviews with Experts in your industry.
* Simply answer questions which come in.
* Providing a Tip of the Day or Tip of the Week
Idea.
What else can you come up with?
2. Free Information - The Internet is the
"Information Superhighway."
The best way to introduce yourself to your prospects
is through providing Free information on your web
site. No matter what you are selling: be it nutrition
products, cleaning products, business products, etc.,
you can find information or create information to
provide with it.
For example, my FREE Electronic Book which is jam
packed with internet money making ideas is being
downloaded constantly. As a matter of fact, I keep
two download sites for it because it has been
receiving up to 827 downloads in one hour. The title
of it is "101 High Profit Businesses You Can
Start On The Internet With Little or NO Money!"
and it is full of quality information.
Think about how you could do something just like this
in your industry. I also want to note that you can
offer this book on your site as well (it makes a
great incentive for people to subscribe to your
newsletter or to recommend others to your web site).
All you would have to do is link directly to one of
the download sites. Your visitors never even have to
leave your site!
Two Download Sites (Same Book):

3. CGI Programs - There are dozens of CGI Programs
out there which you can use on your site to provide
something free to give to your visitors. Just take
glance through the hundreds of useful scripts you can
find at
http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/
You could set up a discussion group, search engine
submission tools, free-for-all links site, recommend
a site scripts, dealer programs, and more. You are
really only limited to your imagination and what your
web server can handle. To see some samples of these
scripts in operation, visit http://www.allthesecrets.com
Give First to Prove Your Worth...
No matter what type of Free product or service you
decide to provide, you need to come up with something
unique for your industry. What is it that people want
or need that you can provide for a very low cost or
at no cost?
Keep a notebook and come up with creative solutions.
Once you start giving upfront to your prospects,
watch your traffic and sales soar as people start
seeing just how much your business is really worth to
them. Once you have proven your worth to them, they
won't have any reservations ordering from you.
