Do you have a pipeline built?

Mike Paetzold — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:48:38 +0000

If you look around at those who are “super successful” in Internet Marketing, you’ll find they all have one thing in common…

** They all have their own information product pipeline!

In other words, they have a lot of products that they sell.

* Small reports
* Webinars
* Coaching classes
* Physical products
* Membership sites

The list goes on and on.

They have something for every budget from $17 to $1,700 (and beyond!)

And when they spend time and effort to find a new customer, they get order after order because of their “pipeline” of products!

Mr. Customer starts out buying a cheap $17 product. They like it. They buy a medium priced product at $47-$97. Like it. They join a monthly membership site. From there they buy a high-ticket coaching program or physical product.

Soon, they’ve bought almost everything offered by the marketer. They anxiously await new products. And they buy them – often without even reading the sales letter.

The question is…

Are you the CUSTOMER or the MARKETER in that above scenario?

There’s no reason why you can’t be the person with the entire empire of products that others buy from you!

Atlas Shrugged – An interesting case to follow

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 00:11:59 +0000

Ayn Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged has just been made into a movie, at least the first part has. The marketing of this is quite interesting to say the least.

They could not get it out to theaters through the normal distribution channels for a few reasons but have been using “word of web” to market it.

Watching how they did it has been quite interesting. Currently it is out in 400+ theaters and climbing. (Hopefully they will be in my area shortly or if not will have to travel a good bit to see it. Currently the closest place is 60 miles away.)

Besides the normal trailers that you see in most movie preview websites they have added interconnectivity with the various theater chains. They recommend that their viewers contact the various chains asking for the movie to be played in their area. (I filled out all of the chains that are in my area.)

Check out the site at Atlas Shrugged Part 1 and if they are not in your area use the get involved section. If this is half as good as the book this is a movie people should see.

Using How To Reports

Mike Paetzold — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 14:47:39 +0000

One of the things I have used over and over to help build my business is “How To” reports. These are perfect for helping your subscribers and everyone is always looking for simple reports on how to do whatever is causing them a problem.

Because of that they are excellent for using as a gift for building your list and at the same time preselling certain services.

They can be a bit of a pain to put together though. You need to create a variety of screen captures and detailed step by step details to walk your reader through exactly how to do a particular task.

That is one of the reasons I have come to love the PLR reports from DIYplr.com. Alice Seba and her crew attack a variety of topics and then do all of the hard work of doing the screen captures, writing out the steps for a variety of items.

You just need to do a bit of editing. Add a title page, maybe create a quick ecover, add your affiliate links and author bio.

Saves you a lot of time and effort but allows you to create quality how to reports that you can use in multiple ways.

Right now she has packages available on the following topics but as they are all limited it changes frequently.

Online Backup & Storage
Google Checkout
Facebook Social Plugins – Advanced
Whats New with Facebook Pages
Facebook Social Plugins
Social Media Integration
Twitter Widgets
and many more

At the low price she offers these for they are a great value and time saver. I have used numerous packages and strongly recommend them. If you are looking to create how to reports (and you should be) then these are something to really check out and use to save time and create professional reports.

Are Skype Auto Mailers Spam?

Mike Paetzold — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:30:53 +0000

Skype has been a powerful tool for me and allows me to network with others. It has become a big tool within my business. It has been perfect for building relationships and helping others.

Lately though, the advent of these Skype mailer programs has gotten me to think again about using Skype.

Now I understand why it sounds good to be able to send out a broadcast message to all of your followers. The point is, that I don’t add people to my Skype to be marketed to like an email subscription. I use Skype for building individual relationships.

Skype is perfect in my mind for building relationships, creating masterminds, whether they are for ad swaps or other types and working with partners.

It can be perfect for helping customers and exchanging information that is needed to help them. There are a lot of good things that Skype can be used for.

An email marketing alternative is not one of them.

If these become more wide spread, they may ultimately cause me to remove Skype as a tool for my business. In the mean time be warned. Those using these tools will no longer be on my Skype list.

That is my thought. What’s yours?

What is your business model?

Mike Paetzold — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:39:54 +0000

Well another day, another launch. Sitting here watching the emails roll in about Local Mobile Monopoly, the product of the day. Now this is not a knock on that product as I have no idea if it is good, bad or indifferent.

It may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. It may not.

My point is that I have a business model and that is what I am working on. Makes it much easier to eliminate the noise.

So the question of the day is do you have a business model?

Now there are numerous business models that work online but…

If you haven’t decided what yours is you are really likely to be attracted by all of the latest and greatest products. Maybe they fit and maybe they don’t. The only way to know is to have decided on your business model first.

If you have you can use my favorite question when looking at all of the latest offers that show up in my email box every day.

Will this help improve what I am doing in my business TODAY?

If the answer is not yes then forget about it. You don’t need to look any further. If it is not something that you can add to your business right now then leave it alone until it will.

I know you don’t want to miss the opportunity because…

there are limited number of spots
the price is going up
yada yada yada

If the product is worth while and you need it 3 months from now and pay more what did you lose?

If you grabbed it and let it sit on your hard drive until you did would you even remember you had it when the time came that you could actually use it?

Nine times out of ten your business as it grows will move in other directions or someone will have a better tool when you get to the point that you need it.

Even of you end up buying the item at 4 times the price all the money you saved on the 9 out of 10 that you never use will still be a savings overall. That does not count the amount of time you will waste through distractions from creating your actual business.

How many times have you started, spent a little bit of time trying something then gotten into a totally different business model because of the latest shiny button?

Hey the marketers, myself included will always use limited numbers, price bumps, etc. to make our products sell better because it works.

If you really look at it though staying the course and building your actual business model out and only getting what you need will save you time and money in the long run. Even when you miss a “deal” along the way.

So back to the original question – What is your business model?

When you can answer that question you will be well on your way to the success you are seeking.

How much time do you spend?

Mike Paetzold — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:26:58 +0000

How much time and money do you spend designing and creating sites?

If you’re like most marketers, you spend a lot of time or are incurring expensive costs to design and create your sites.

Here’s what’s happening (correct me if I’m wrong):

1. You either try to design and create sites yourself
2. Or you outsource them to a designer and/or programmer

#1 typically results in poor quality, since you’re not a designer or programmer to begin with.

#2 usually costs you quite a bit of money.

Both #1 and #2 takes quite some time to finish. You might say that #2 is fast since you outsource the work to professionals who know what they’re doing. Problem is – you are not their only customer; they have a dozen other customers to serve, plus the back and forth communication between you and them means it’s going to take some time for your site to be completed to your liking.

So what’s a marketer to do?

There is a faster and cheaper solution…

One that can create protected, multi-level membership site (can drip-feed content), product launch pages, one-time-offer pages, sales pages, squeeze pages, legal pages, thank you pages, and more in mere minutes…

Profit Theme

Hit the above link to discover how you can create these full-blown profit sites in mere minutes, and save you a lot of money in the process.

I know it’s kind of hard to believe that you can actually create protected, multi-level membership site (can drip-feed content), product launch pages, OTO pages, sales pages, squeeze pages, legal pages, thank you pages, and more in minutes.
Don’t believe me. Believe the proof here:
