4 Easy Ways To Turbo-Boost Your Blog's Traffic

If you want more free traffic and higher rankings for your blog, pay attention to this.

Most experts will tell you that “Big traffic = More backlinks”.

Well, that’s not the case anymore.

Is it possible to boost your traffic *without* hunting for more backlinks all day?

YES it is!

These 2 guys have done it using a simple “inside out” approach.

Read this free report and find out how they did it.

In a Dilbert cartoon, the pointy-haired boss chastised Dilbert for forgetting to tell him about an important meeting.

When Dilbert replied that he had notified him by e-mail, the boss replied, “Well, obviously you chose an uninteresting subject line; otherwise I would have opened it.”

He concluded by telling Dilbert, “You’re a bad e-mail sender.”

What about you?

Are you a good e-mail sender or a bad e-mail sender?

Do people on your opt-in e-list actually look forward to getting your e-mails…and order the products you recommend in them?

Or do they view you as a spammer and unsubscribe in droves every time you broadcast to the list?

In my own start-up Internet marketing business, CTC Publishing, I’ve found 3 copywriting tactics that work particularly well in e-mails sent to our subscriber list.

These are: stories, content, and teaser.

A “story” e-mail is just that: an e-mail that tells an amusing story or anecdote.

For instance, to promote our PR course to my subscribers, I sent out an e-mail that told a humorous—and true—story.

It was about what happened when my then-7-year-old son dropped his new gigapet—the latest electronic fad at the time—in the toilet.

The copy read: “Alex took the gigapet with him to the bathroom…and promptly dropped it in the toilet.

“I quickly fished it out. But the water damaged the electronics, and the device was ruined.

“Upon seeing his digital pet was dead, Alex burst into tears.

“‘C-c-can we b-b-bury this one?’ he asked me tearfully.

“Being a soft-hearted dad, I immediately took him to the back yard—and with a shovel, we buried his dead electronic pet, using a brick for a headstone.”

I went on to reveal how I had gotten on the front page of the leisure section of a major NJ daily newspaper by sending out a press release on “Microchip Gardens”—the world’s first gigapet cemetery.

The e-mail was very profitable—and I learned that my list likes stories.

Second, content.

An e-mail marketing message that actually presents an idea, tip, advice, or other content can often work better than one that is merely a sales pitch for a product.

In an e-mail promoting a program I sell on how to write a non-fiction book and get it published, I revealed a secret that many aspiring authors do not know:

“Do you want to write a non-fiction book and get it published?

“Then don’t write the book—at least not yet.

“Publishers don’t want to read an unsolicited book manuscript from an unknown author.

“If you send it, they’ll either mail it back unread…or toss your book in the trash.

“What you need to do is write a book proposal.”

If the reader learns something useful just from reading the e-mail, he appreciates the value you are giving him…and clicks on the link to your site to learn more.

The third type of e-mail I’ve found to be extremely effective is the ultra-short teaser e-mail.

The lead talks about a benefit, a solution to a problem, or something else highly desired by the reader.

And the next paragraph promises to deliver this benefit or solution when the reader clicks on the hyperlink to the landing page. For example:

“A recent survey revealed that writers who earn more than $60,000 a year consistently do 22 things that writers who earn less money don’t.

“To get your hands on this list of 22 habits of highly profitable writers…and master dozens of additional strategies for earning six-figures as a freelance writer…click below now…”

This teaser e-mail generated a 2.5% click-through rate with a 10% conversion to orders for a $29 e-book.

Tell a story…give valuable free content…use a teaser.

These 3 approaches to e-mail copywriting have worked for me.

Perhaps they can work for you, too.

10 Secrets To Cold Calling Customers

Posted May 29th, 2011. Filed under Business

Cold calling clients is the most difficult part of any sales job. You will be hard pressed to find a new or veteran salesman who would say that they enjoy this aspect of their sales job. There several points to keep in mind to make cold calls, not only successful, but less stressful also.

1) Know your product – Know your business and your products well. You will feel more confident and be more relaxed. Not being able to answer your client’s questions can be unsettling and gives the impression that you are unprepared.

2) Know your client – You may be limited in the information you have access to in regard to a cold call, but do your best to know as much as you can before entering the door. Asking additional questions of the receptionist can provide you further understanding of a business’s operations, while you are waiting for your appointment.

3) Positive attitude – How you see yourself will be reflected in your meeting with your client. If you are stressed and feeling pressured, it will show in your demeanor. Enter into cold calls relaxed and unhurried. Remind yourself to focus on starting a relationship with the client, not necessarily making a sale.

4) Introduction – The first lines out of your mouth are as important as the first line in a novel. They should be smooth and carefully thought out. They should easily communicate who you are and your purpose for wanting to meet with them.

5) Questions – Remember that you are beginning a relationship. You need to get to know this client and their business. Have questions prepared that will assist you in understanding your clients needs.

6) Listen to the client – Listening involves more than simply hearing what your client has to say. It also involves interpreting what they have said. Don’t be afraid to clarify your understanding of what they have communicated to you.

7) Provide value – If you’ve asked the right questions and properly interpreted the client’s responses, you should be able to add value back into the conversation. This can be as simple as acknowledging and supporting the positions they’ve shared with you, or it may be offering them a service or product that could meet a need.

8) Respect the relationship – Don’t be pushy. Don’t take more of their time than you need to. Ask when you should check back and what method of contact they’d prefer.

9) Keep a record – Take as many notes as you can. Details about the person you spoke to, what their position in the company was and any comments they may have made during your discussion. Being able to mention those details during your next meeting can be an important part of building your relationship with a new client.

10) Keep in touch – Never write off a client completely. A lack of interest one day, may quickly change into a real need a few weeks down the road. If you believe in what you have to offer, then you owe it to your client, to keep the communication open.

Keeping your approach relaxed, open and honest is the best attitude to have when it comes to cold calls.

Underachiever Secrets

Let me ask you a question: what difference does it make if an underachiever and an overachiever earns the same amount of money?

None! If there is one, the overachiever would complain he worked too hard.

But you see, that’s the unspoken trap that a lot of entrepreneurs fall into. If they aren’t working for someone in a J.O.B., they create their own J.O.B. which they can’t dig their way out of.

Understand that they are many rich people out there who work smart without pouring so much “heart and soul” (and maybe blood) into the business.

For one *total newbie* it means $1,289 a DAY…with almost zero “work” at all…

And the crazy part? He could easily make MUCH MORE if he wanted to—he’d just rather travel around the world…

He’s not alone—most underachievers are successful at using the Underachiever Secrets system to make the amount of money they desire and live the life they want.

This is hands-down the EASIEST and most *stress-free* money you can make online…

But you can’t wait on this any longer. Trust me: if you MISS this, you’re going to kick yourself…

…and when you see PROOF of just how easily YOU can copy their success, you’ll be glad you have checked this out for yourself.

Always remember even if you don’t opt to get Underachiever Secrets: less work, more money.

You work hard to create and promote your articles. Are you attracting the readership you deserve? Here are 5 tried-and-true best practices that are sure to pay off:

1) Quality, quality, quality: The most important way to establish credibility with your audience is to produce high-quality content. How is quality defined? It ranges from the obvious: correct spelling, grammar and punctuation, to the less obvious: usage of photo and video, correct attribution, accuracy of facts, attractive format, local and topical. The best writers always look at their work with a critical eye before publishing.

2) Encourage readers to subscribe to your content. Put the subscription link in the signature line of your e-mails. Interact with readers in your comments section or if they take the time to e-mail you. Engage in the conversation and remember to ask them to subscribe to your column if they’re genuinely interested in your approach.

3) Create evergreen articles in addition to timely coverage. Timely articles provide a nice opportunity for a short-term spike in traffic, but how do you ensure that your traffic remains consistent over a longer period of time? Evergreen articles are the answer. These articles have lasting value since they are free from information that may become dated (think “How-to Guides”).

4) Establish non-search-engine traffic. Search engines can be finicky, so complete reliance on that type of traffic is a pitfall. How can you mix things up? Make sure you’ve got a clear footprint on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, but don’t forget other sharing sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Fark and Reddit. Also, go the old-fashioned route and establish relationships with humans in charge of other sites. Make a link exchange agreement with them, benefit from the direct traffic from those sites and STILL increases off-page search engine optimization at the same time.

5) If you’re writing news, make sure it’s newsworthy. Concerned about maintaining traffic from sources like Google News? You may be surprised about what is actually considered to be “news”. Here are some questions to ask yourself in determining whether your content is newsworthy:

* Is my article original reporting and not simply a reference to what another media source has already reported?

* Do I have a unique take on the story?

* Is my article simply a reiteration of a press release (not news)?

* Is my article of high quality (see above)?

* Is what I’ve written both topical and local?

* Does my story deliver on what the headline promises?

There are other considerations as well. Also, note the policy on promoting ‘live’ streaming video as part of news coverage.

I encourage you to use these quick tips to increase your readership, avoid being lumped in with cookie-cutter articles and to help establish yourself as a true expert in your space.

$750,000 Software Exposed

Posted May 27th, 2011. Filed under Affiliate Marketing

Free Money Formula is finally released.

This is one of those “black sheep” software you never hear about, let alone get a chance to get a piece of the profits.

Philip Mansour has it programmed, tested and refined for the last 2 years until he’s able to scale up from zero to $100 a day…and then $500 a day…and hitting $1000 a day. There’s no limits really!

If you do one thing today, make sure you visit this website and see for yourself the real power of underground affiliate marketing.

Recently DD, a top copywriter, e-mailed me for some advice about using articles as a marketing tool.

“An editor has contacted me about doing an article,” wrote DD. “Seems like a good opportunity to generate some publicity for my product—and some nice credentials for myself.

“Do you have any advice or precautions, like how to maximize this opportunity—things I might not know to consider when writing a magazine article to promote myself and my business?”

Here’s what I told DD…

To begin with, just because an editor wants you to write an article doesn’t mean you should.

If you’re writing articles for free as a promotional vehicle, only write for two types of publications.

The first is publications whose readers are the target market for your product or service.

The second is publications so prestigious that your prospects will be impressed by the credential of you having been published in their pages.

Now, even though you’re writing the article to promote yourself—don’t promote yourself in the article.

The only way your article is going to build your reputation…and get people interested in doing business with you…is with solid content. Not self-promotional blather.

Focus on the reader and the topic—and not on you.

For instance, if you’re a consultant, you can give little vignettes in your article about how businesspeople applied smart management principles to solve problems.

But don’t take the credit for yourself. Instead, say “Ned, a manager at XYZ company,” and describe what he did.

Don’t say “When Ned called me in, here is what I did”—even if you were responsible.

Give credit to others, and play down your own role in the stories your articles contain.

This way, you come off as modest and not as a blatant self-promoter, which quickly turns people off.

Give your readers useful hints and tips about your topic…short, practical, pithy advice on how to do their jobs or run their lives better.

When they read your sage advice, they will nod their heads in recognition of your wisdom and begin to think of you as their “guru” on this topic.

The only promotion or “advertising” should appear in the “about the author” box that usually runs at the bottom of the first column of the article when it’s published in the magazine.

Your “about the author” copy should say who you are, what you do, and how to contact you. That means including an e-mail address or website, or both.

As for length, ask the editor. He or she will usually tell you how many words are desired. Stick to that count.

Once the article is published, the contact information in your “about the author” box will generate some response for you.

But don’t leave it at that. Make your article do double or triple duty as a promotional tool.

You can:

* Make reprints of your article.

* Include copies of your article in the inquiry fulfillment kits you send to potential customers.

* Hand out article reprints at trade shows.

* Do a mailing of your article reprint to your clients and prospects.

* E-mail your readers a link to the article.

* Post the article on your website. Having lots of content on your site makes visitors stay longer—and also raises your rankings with search engines.

If the response is good and your article seems to have reached the right people (your target market), immediately send an e-mail to your editor.

Suggest a follow-up article…with information you didn’t have room to include in the first article.

If you like to write…and have the time or can hire a ghostwriter, why not suggest a monthly column in the magazine instead of just an article? The worst the editor can do is say no.

If she says yes, you’ll get your name in front of your potential customers 12 times a year instead of once.

And, you’ll accelerate your recognition as a top expert in your field.

Those are great results…from one of the easiest self-promotions you can do: writing articles.

Biggest Mistake When Billing Clients by Bob Bly

Posted May 26th, 2011. Filed under Business

My single piece of advice for you today?

Don’t rush your invoice to your client.

Your accountant and bookkeeper, of course, disagree with me.

“Get the bill out fast!” they urge you. “You’ll get paid faster, and your cash flow will improve.”

MB, the contractor who’s been remodeling our bathrooms and kitchen for the past 6 months, certainly agrees with them.

Every time I turn around, he’s there with his hand out.

Typically, I get a call at the office during the middle of a busy day.

“I need the next payment,” says MB, “can you have a check ready in 20 minutes when I stop by?”

Sure, I think to myself. I’ll just stop writing, forget my own pressing deadlines, write out a check this instant, and sit here until MB gets here.

Yes, MB is entitled to get paid on time.

But on and off, I’ve been using him going on more than 20 years.

Certainly, I’m “good for it”.

JL, who is MB’s favorite electrician, also wants his money in a hurry, even if it’s a small $100 repair job.

“I need this money today to pay my bills,” JL will tell my wife—who of course immediately gives him the cash in her wallet.

The problem with being in a hurry to rush the next invoice—and get your money right away—is that it sends a message to your customer.

The message is: “I care more about getting paid than I do about your satisfaction or convenience.”

I mean, come on: why can’t MB send me a bill in the mail like everyone else, so I can forward it to my bookkeeper and let her pay it?

Recently, I hired a freelance writer to write an e-book for my small publishing company, CTC Publishing.

Today I got an e-mail with his first draft of the e-book attached.

Also attached to that same e-mail: his bill.

“Hey,” I told him nicely. “I haven’t even read your first draft yet. Why am I getting a bill?”

He should bill me only after he knows I am happy with his work…and not before.

Don’t give your client the feeling that you’re in a rush to send out an invoice and move on to the next job—even if you are.

The product or service your client ordered is what they want—and getting it makes them happy.

The bill is what they don’t want…a negative to most people.

Therefore, so as not to destroy the feelings of happiness the buyer experiences when she takes delivery of the product she ordered, do *not* enclose the invoice when you deliver the product.

For instance, a consultant should e-mail his report as an attached file…wait a few days for the client to absorb it…and only then should he send the invoice.

Also, the client is in a rush to get your widget or report—but not necessarily to pay for it.

Therefore, it’s desirable to send products and services ordered by rapid delivery methods—priority mail, FedEx, e-mail.

But the client is in no hurry to get your bill.

So don’t e-mail it.

Dropping it into ordinary first-class mail is just fine for them—and for you.

Also, while it pays to be vigilant about accounts receivables, being overly so can tick off customers and rapidly destroy goodwill.

I pay my vendor invoices net 30 days unless I’ve agreed otherwise.

Yet I can’t tell you how many times I have received a frantic call or e-mail from a proofreader, editor, writer, or Web designer demanding payment—for an invoice they sent me just a few days ago.

Not only is it annoying, but it again shows me their main concern in life is their pocketbook, not my satisfaction with what I bought from them.

“Don’t rush a bill” is really just a specific application of a general almost universal, business principle.

And that universal law of good business is simply: put the customer first.

Analytics Tool Review: GetClicky

Posted May 24th, 2011. Filed under Testing And Tracking

An analytics tool is a fundamental part of an Internet marketer’s life. Through monitoring visits, traffic sources, bounce rates and conversions, a good analytics tool helps a you get an idea of how well you’re performing and how you should adjust your strategies. It also helps a marketer gauge results when you’re conducting split or multivariate tests.

One popular analytics tool is GetClicky and in this review, I’ll be talking about why it’s a top choice for most Internet marketers. What I like about it:

1) Presentation – GetClicky’s interface includes a dashboard that shows you reports on visits, actions made by visitors, time spent on site and bounce rates. GetClicky presents these figures in a comprehensible manner and if that’s not enough, it allows you to customize which reports you want to see on your dashboard.

2) Real-Time Data – Real-time analytics data is helpful in that it gives you the opportunity to change certain components in your web page or blog post depending on the data you get.

Here’s an example: if you’re in the middle of a launch and you see your landing page is getting attention only from your e-mail blasts, you may want to shift your focus to social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. By putting a Facebook ‘Like’ Button or a ‘Tweet This’ button on your landing page, you could easily spread the news about the new product you’re launching. Without GetClicky’s quick result tally, you could miss out on areas of opportunity and just find out about it when it’s too late.

3) Reporting Features – As mentioned earlier, GetClicky shows you reports on visits, actions and bounce rates. What makes this more fascinating is that you’re able to expand on your visits and action reports. For visits, you get to check how many unique visits and new visitors you have. For the Actions reports, you can find information about page views, downloads, outbound links, clicks and video. GetClicky tells you what’s going on, who’s visiting your site and what they do in it too.

GetClicky also shows you where traffic has been coming from. You can trace the visit geographically and you can find out which website linking to you referred the traffic. Lastly, it can show which pages in your site are common entry points for users. This will allow you to determine the factors that make a page a crowd-drawer.

4) Twitter Search – GetClicky can literally tell you how popular you are on Twitter. This is a helpful feature because it can track down search queries, retweets and mentions in Twitter that involves your website. With it, you can easily gauge how well you’re performing in this social media hotspot.

5) Application Programming Interface – GetClicky allows you to integrate your tracking data with other applications you might want to use. This is useful, say, if you want to create a custom widget for your WordPress site that shows data from GetClicky.

6) Visitor Espionage – GetClicky’s super-cool feature called “Spy” allows you to snoop in to whoever’s visiting your site. It tells you what they click most and which pages they visit most of the time. This is an awesome feature if you want to find out what component in your website catches the attention of your visitors. Also, it’s a great tool for finding out where you want to place ads or affiliate links.

7) Mobile Phone Feature – If you’re on the road and you want to be constantly checking on your real-time tracking data, don’t fret. GetClicky has a mobile phone version of its interface and you can access the GetClicky website and your account from there.

The Take

With real-time data and a user-friendly interface, GetClicky gives Internet marketers the opportunity to gauge their website’s success without delay. While it’s true that most of its features are inherent in other analytics tools, it’s the extras like real-time data and Twitter Analytics that make it unique enough to stand as a must-have. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who’s serious about measuring success and improving their business based on accurate, credible data.

An analytics service provides data on a website’s traffic activity and its sources. Notable analytics services include Google Analytics, GetClicky and Chartbeat. These services give Internet marketers an overview of how their website is performing traffic-wise, which also means giving them some insight as to which variables or pages work well and which ones perform poorly.

That said, here are a few tips to remember when using your Analytics Service:

1) Scrutinize the Data – When inspecting your data, pay attention to the pages that people visit the most. Take note too, of the times when they visit. For example, notice how visits drop during a holiday for business websites, and how visits soar for a website that specializes on a specific holiday. This helps you establish what is normal and unusual flows of traffic to your site depending on the time.

There are reasons why people visit your website more at certain days and times, so try to uncover these reasons by looking at the data your analytics service provides.

2) Transmute the Data – While some analytics services already provide GUIs that can render your analytics data in a simple and manageable format, try to simplify it some more and format it in the way that’s responsive to your goals.

An example would be having an Excel file that shows the number of visitors to a certain site that actually make a purchase instead of just the number of visits. Google Analytics, for instance, has the capability to create custom reports according to the user’s preferences.

3) Do something about the data – Develop a strategy with the kind of data that’s been presented to you. Don’t just base one page’s content and formatting on a page that performs best over all. Find out what factors make that page perform better than all the others and from there generate a strategy that you can apply for all the pages. Factors that attract traffic to a page include a strong ranking on search engines, easy navigation paths from the home page, links coming from external sites, etc. If you can determine what makes a page tick, you have a great chance of being able to replicate that success.

4) Base Success on Goals, not Analytics Reports – Use your goals as a basis to determine whether or not you’ve done well in your campaign and not the data that your analytics service gives you. A lot of Internet marketers think that higher traffic rates indicate success. This is only partly true if you want to monetize the traffic your site gets. More than traffic, it’s conversions and overall ROI that determine the true success level of a website.

Base your success on actual sales, opt-ins or whatever it is that is considered a conversion or a desired action from a user. In the end, this is what got you in the business anyway.

5) Compare data from tests – If you’ve been doing some market testing like every real Internet marketer should, the next step would be to see if your test data is consistent with actual traffic. For instance, if you’ve split-tested two versions of an ad and settled for one of them, see if your traffic and conversions really have improved with its use. If not, identify where the disconnect is and calibrate to get maximum results.

The guy who is hated most by 6-figure marketers has “turned over a new leaf”.

Steven Rounds used to work at PayPal.

Steven Rounds created the software that freezes and limits PayPal accounts.

Now he’s left the “dark side” and has a software program that spits out cash like an ATM. For real.

Could there be anyone who knows about stuffing PayPal accounts with moolahs better than Steven?

Point Copy Profit

There are many underground marketers I’ve never heard of. Rob Rammuny probably could stay the most anonymous of them all if he chooses to. You see, he is only 16-year-old, lives in the Ghetto in Detroit and earns over $16,322 per month using 3 “weird” little methods!

(Rob has a video with ‘LIVE’ PROOF on the page, so if you don’t believe that a 16-year-old can really earn that much money on the Internet, then you can watch the video and be AMAZED with your own eyes!)

What he teaches is real secret information. Like a hidden blueprint that you can follow and just *COPY* his earnings.

How much money would you like to make? It all depends on how much you want to work.

If you are content only making $5,234.49 per month, then you don’t have to work much, but if you want to make $12,328.23 per month then it will require a little effort.

How much is up to you and Rob lets you make that decision.

What I suggest you do now is hop on this train because he is only accepting 25 more students into his coaching and after that it is going to be closed forever.

This is just one of those things that you KNOW you need to do.

Lots of people agree that giving talks can help promote their business, but are reluctant to do so because it is considered as an extra option or they don’t know the procedures of organizing one.

Still, imagine giving a talk to a crowded room of potential customers…and then having 90% of them ask for an estimate or quote!

Don’t you think it’s lucrative?

Most marketers don’t know how to “work” a speaking opportunity properly to maximize the number of leads and sales generated from their presentation.

Typically, when you give a speech in a room of 50 to 100 people, how many approach you when you’re done and give you their business card?

Only a handful, right?

But with the “green sheet” method, you can increase the ‘capture’ rate of attendee names and addresses in the room from just a few percent to 75% or higher.

Here’s how it works…

Before your talk, create a one-page document with some tips, resources, or other valuable content.

Print one copy on your laser printer on green offset stock. Bring this one copy only (and this is important: no multiple copies) with you to the meeting.

Around the middle of your talk, after making an important point, say something like: “If you’d like more information on this, I have a free tip sheet/resource guide.”

Hold up the green sheet and continue: “If you want a free copy, just write ‘GS’ for ‘green sheet’ on your business card, and hand it to me after the presentation.”

When you do this, the audience will swarm the podium after you finish speaking, eagerly shoving their business cards at you to get the free green sheet…and in return, you will capture their names and addresses.

If your talk is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, you can use a variation of the green sheet method.

Tell attendees that they can get a free copy of your PowerPoint e-mailed to them.

All they have to do is write “PP” for PowerPoint on their business card and hand it to you.

At some events, the conference sponsor gives attendees a big binder with copies of the PowerPoint presentations already in it.

But the reproductions usually have multiple copies per page, to save paper, and those smaller slides are difficult to read.

You can then tell attendees, “My PowerPoint is in your conference book, but some of the slides may be hard to read. If you want me to e-mail an electronic copy of the PowerPoint to you in full size, just give me your business card.”

My colleague, Internet Marketing expert Fred Gleeck, likes to automate the process.

Instead of collecting business cards and sending out follow-up material, he tells attendees to go to a web page where they can download the free material.

To download the freebie, the visitor has to give you his name and e-mail address, which you capture and add to your e-list.

Of the above variations, my favorite method of capturing leads from speaking engagements remains the “green sheet” method for a few reasons.

First, it’s proactive. You promise to do the work of sending them the freebie they requested. You don’t sit around and hope they call you or visit your website later to get it.

Second, it has the highest capture rate. You get 75% or more of the audience giving you their contact information vs. only 20% or less of the audience who go to your website after the conference to request your free information.

Third, you get all their contact information—including e-mail and snail mail addresses—because you are getting their business card.

Fourth, as audience members hand their business cards to you, a percentage will express interest in not just getting the green sheet, but in exploring the possibility of hiring you.

Jot a brief note about their needs and requests on the back of the business card they hand you, and follow up the next day when you get back to the office.

When you put these name-capture techniques into practice, you will not only double or triple your seminar leads, you’ll also get more high quality leads from your workshop marketing.

As Fred Gleeck points out, the quality of a sales lead is proportional to the proximity of the prospect (did anyone already know this fundamental rule in offine marketing?).

When you get a click on your site from an Internet user in Hong Kong, the likelihood of doing business with him is slim.

If you get a phone call from a postcard mailing you did to prospects in your town, the lead quality and likelihood of closing a sale go up, because the prospect is much closer to you.

At a seminar or speech, the prospect is as close to you as he can get—literally in the same room with you.

And so lead quality…and the chances of a sale…are at their highest.

But to close seminar leads, you have to first get those leads.

You do this by asking for them proactively—using the “green sheet” method or the other seminar prospecting techniques described here.

According to PublishAmerica, 1 out of 3 book buyers reads print books as well as e-books. Another 26% read print books only today, but expect to start reading e-books soon.

By the end of this year, almost half of all book buyers will own a Kindle, Nook, or iPad. Amazon customers who have a Kindle spend 3X more on books than they did when they read print books only.
