Modern economics is based, in part, on the law of supply and demand.

If an item is rare and people want it, they’ll pay through the nose, driving the price higher.

On the other hand, a large supply of a product, coupled with dwindling demand, can cause the price to plummet.

Well, marketing too has a law of supply and demand.

It goes something like this…

When a product is difficult for the consumer to find, your promotional copy can be short, to the point, and straightforward—with little or no hype.

An example is a classic ad for Hancock Shoes, a mail order company that specializes in shoes for men with wide feet.

The headline of their small black-and-white space ad, unchanged for decades, reads:

MEN’S WIDE SHOES

EEE-EEEEEE, SIZES 5-15

The visual is a picture of a shoe against a white background.

Now, this would probably get a failing mark from most copywriting experts.

But Hancock Shoes has been running this ad virtually unchanged for many decades.

It works because of the lack of availability of shoes for large feet.

There are plenty of shoe stores.

But it’s extremely difficult for a man with wide feet to find his size in an EEE or larger.

So when he sees Hancock’s ad, the headline immediately tells him—in a direct, straightforward fashion—that they have what he needs.

Since he can’t get the shoe anywhere else, it doesn’t have to be creative or even enumerate the benefits.

It merely has to call to the reader’s attention to what is being offered.

For a product that is difficult to find like EEEEE shoes, a simple ad like Hancock’s can work like gangbusters.

On the other hand, when you have a lot of competition in your category, then your advertising must be powerful and persuasive.

It must extol the benefits of the product, show how the product solves the prospect’s problem and how owning it can make his life better.

The ad must also say these things in a fresh, compelling way.

Why?

Because everyone else in this category is making similar claims and saying them in pretty much the same way.

Consumer health information, for instance, is a highly competitive category filled with newsletters, books, magazines, and websites.

In a promotion for the health newsletter “Bottom Line Natural Healing,” the headline focuses on weight loss.

The copywriter wisely avoids saying something like “Lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks.”

Such a headline has a clear benefit, and probably worked 10 or 20 years ago.

But today, the consumer has heard it so many times, it has no impact.

So you have to say the same thing—”we can help you lose weight”—in a fresh and compelling way.

The headline for “Bottom Line Natural Healing” does this admirably:

“10-CENT TUMMY TUCK puts plastic surgeons out of work!”

Okay, so where does that leave us?

Well, in addition to the law of supply and demand in marketing…which says that the greater the product availability, the stronger the advertising must be…

There’s another factor that determines the degree of hype in our copy or lack thereof.

It’s whether the product is a luxury or necessity.

Or, to put it another way, whether the customer NEEDS what you are selling vs. whether he WANTS it.

You don’t need clever, A-level copy to sell dialysis treatment to a patient with kidney failure, because he needs the dialysis and will die without it.

On the other hand, people may want better health and a longer life and buy nutritional supplements to gain these benefits.

But few of us really NEED nutritional supplements. A heart patient may need a pacemaker, but taking folic acid is probably optional.

This is the reason why so many long-copy nutritional supplement promotions you see are such powerful marketing pieces: you need to pull out all the stops to get the consumer—who has a clear choice of whether to take your pill or not—to buy.

An example is a recent promotion for Sun Chlorella, a nutritional supplement made from algae.

The headline of the mailing reads:

TOXIC KILLERS IN YOUR GROCERY CART

Can these fruits, vegetables, and even bagged salad be the cause of your worst health problems?

100,000 scientific tests say YES!

You have to grab the reader by the lapels with your headline because, while the consumer wants good health, he isn’t sitting there thinking, “I need algae.”

Putting the word “algae” right up front in your headline would likely get him to toss your mailing in the trash.

On the other hand, if a change in Earth’s environment suddenly meant you would die without consuming a sufficient amount of algae daily, and Sun Chlorella was the world’s only source of
algae, you could send out a postcard that simply said “Algae tablets available!” and generate more orders than you could ever hope to handle.

To sum up, 2 factors determine how creative or direct your copy needs to be:

1. Product availability.

2. Need vs. want.

When a product is an absolute necessity and scarce, straightforward, clear, direct advertising messages work best.

When a product is a luxury, and the category is cluttered with competing brands, you need a kick-butt marketing campaign to sell your prospect on why he should try it.

Are you an Internet marketer…or do you hope to be someday soon?

Then let me ask you a question: what is your relationship with the people on your e-list?

In my experience, the most important factor determining your success in Internet Marketing or virtually any other business…is relationships.

Specifically, the relationship you have with the people on your customer and prospect list—known in traditional direct marketing as your “house file”.

There are 4 ways at which Internet marketers and other entrepreneurs relate to their lists.

The first 3 ways doom you to mediocrity and modest returns. The 4th can empower you to create an online business that delivers extraordinary value to your subscribers and makes you rich in the process.

At the lowest level of seller/buyer relationship, Internet marketers think of the people on their subscriber list as “prospects”.

Technically, that’s correct: these people have identified themselves as having some interest in what you offer, but have not yet purchased—and that’s the definition of a “prospect”.

But philosophically, it’s a poor way to think about the people on your list.

Why?

Because a “prospect” is someone whose name and contact information you own, and from whom you hope to extract money by selling them a product or service.

That’s a mercenary and self-centered view. It puts you and your profits—not your prospects and their problems—first.

The next step up from viewing people on your list as prospects is to think of them as customers—either actual customers (those who have purchased) or potential customers (people who will make a purchase).

“Customers” is a slightly better viewpoint than “prospects”.

A customer is someone who spends money with you, so you naturally value them more.

On the other hand, you are still viewing the people on your list as “purchasing entities”—individuals from whom you get money now and hope to get more money in the future.

The typical businessperson constantly thinks of more ways to sell more products and services to more customers.

This unfortunately creates an opportunistic view that cares more for the marketer’s profits than the people on the list as people.

The third level of relationship with the people on your e-list is to think of them as clients.

While “customers” buy products, “clients” are people to whom you strive to deliver extraordinary service and value.

As a result, when you see your online subscribers as “clients”, you respect them more and treat them better.

They reciprocate with loyalty to you and an increased desire to acquire more of your products, services, help, and advice.

The best relationship you can have with your house file is to think of these people not just as clients, but as friends.

Businesspeople deliver value and service to clients, but do so for the money.

Friends help friends not for the reward, but because they are friends.

When you think of your online subscribers as your friends, your mindset becomes positive, helpful, and generous.

You think, “What do my friends need? What can I do to make their lives better, make them happier?”

And when you think that way, the creation of all sorts of useful, valuable, and innovative products and services your subscribers want and need follows.

Also, when you treat your subscribers as friends, they begin to think of YOU as a friend.

Sales become more frequent, purchases become larger, and closing becomes easier.

Why?

Because people like to buy from people they like—and when they become your friend, they like you.

How to evolve your relationship with the people on your e-list from prospect to customer to client to friend?

Here are a few suggestions:

1 – Care about your readers.

The best Internet marketers are genuinely passionate about helping their subscribers improve their lives – and that passion comes across in every e-mail communication they send.

2 – Talk to your readers.

Write like you talk. Use a conversational, natural style. Your e-mails and e-zines should sound like you are talking to a friend and telling him something important.

3 – Be a straight shooter.

Always tell your readers the unvarnished truth. Don’t sugarcoat or hold back. Only by being totally honest and open do you gain the reader’s trust and loyalty.

4 – Let your personality shine through in your e-mail.

Be the real you. If you’re cranky, it’s OK to sound cranky in your e-mails. If you’re a tightwad, tell your readers you’re cheap.

Also, write from the heart. Let your personality show in your e-mails and newsletters, warts and all.

5 – Give extraordinary value.

I sell information products online. But in many of my e-mails, like this one, I give away content for free right in the e-mail. There is nothing to buy – the information is free.

Do these methods work?

My first year online, where I took very little action and viewed my subscribers as purchasing units from whom I desperately wanted to extract money, I made—even though I offered quality content for sale—$19,683.45.

Now, I view my subscribers as friends. I care about them. I let them into my mind and share what’s in my heart. I give them all I can. And our online sales are on track to exceed a quarter of a million dollars this year, as they have for several years now.

All because my relationship with my e-list moved—as yours should—from the lowest to the highest level, from the most mercenary to the noblest.

“We’re all benefactors,” said Mark Cuban in an interview with Selling Power magazine. “To succeed, you not only need to be able to get along with people…those people also have to feel like they’re getting something out of the relationship.”

Today, I will show you a simple technique you can use to make the Google love your website.

This technique will also help your website get indexed and ranked faster in the search engines.

The technique is sitemap submission.

Very few marketers have sitemaps on their websites, and even fewer marketers submit their sitemaps to Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing.

Sp what is a sitemap and why should you have one?

A sitemap is a map to the layout of your website.

They are very useful because they:

1) Make the search engine bots/spiders job easier.
2) Get your pages indexed faster.
3) Help your users find the content they want on your site.

There are 2 types of sitemaps:

1) HTML sitemaps for human viewers of your website.
2) XML sitemaps for the search engines.

This is how you generate your sitemap and submit it to the search engines.

STEP 1: Generate your sitemap:

Go to http://www.xml-sitemaps.com
Enter your website address.
Click the start button (this will generate your sitemap).
Download these 2 sitemaps: uncompressed XML sitemap and HTML sitemap
Upload both of these sitemaps to your server.

So if your site is www.yourwebsite.com and you upload both sitemaps, they will look like this:

yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml
yourwebsite.com/sitemap.html

For the HTML version of the sitemap, link to it at the bottom of your website with “sitemap” as the anchor text.

For the XML version of the sitemap, you need to submit it to the search engines, which brings us to step 2.

STEP 2: Submit your sitemap

Submit to Google:

Create a Google Webmasters account at http://www.google.com/webmasters
Submit your website by following the simple instructions.
Submit your XML sitemap by following the simple instructions.

Submit to Yahoo:

Create a Yahoo! Site Explorer account at http://www.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com
Submit your website by following the simple instructions.
Submit your XML sitemap by following the simple instructions.

Submit to Bing:

Create your Bing Webmaster Tools account at http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster
Submit your website by following the simple instructions.
Submit your XML sitemap by following the simple instructions.

For all the search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing), re-generate and re-submit your sitemap every time you make significant changes to your website.

There you have it, a simple way to get the search engines to love your website, and get you indexed and ranked faster!

I wanted to quickly tell you about something really cool I recently came across!

Why is this important??

Well, we all know the NEGATIVES about sending our potential customers to YouTube right?

Your visitors get there to see your video, along with all the other DISTRACTING links and images that are on YouTube.

This USUALLY results in up to 85% of your visitors NOT clicking from YouTube to your website.

A DISASTER!

ENTER the Video Traffic Genius.

One of the most effective (and affordable) marketing tools you can have is a heartfelt testimonial from a happy customer. Why? Because if you tell the world how amazing you are, few people will believe it. But if someone else raves about you, it’s a whole other ball game. Here are a few suggestions that will help you get testimonials from your customers:

1) Call your first witness.

Even the happiest customers will rarely send unsolicited praise, so if you want a testimonial you have to ask for it. Personally call or e-mail your best clients to request a testimonial. If your client base is larger, conduct an open-ended survey or hold a “biggest fan” contest to collect testimonials.

2) Capture off-the-cuff remarks.

Most positive feedback from customers happens on the fly. The next time a customer tells you something great about your product or service, ask this golden question, “Can I quote you on that?” Then write up their quote, e-mail it to them for their approval, and voila! You’ve got a great testimonial!

3) Leverage the power of pictures.

Whenever possible, ask your customers for a picture that can accompany their testimonial, or better yet, get a video testimonial. You can share these videos on your website, YouTube page, and in e-mails. Whether professionally produced or taken with a Flip camera, video testimonials go a long way in establishing trust with prospects.

4) Seek neutral ground.

Your website visitors will take everything on your site with a grain of salt but a testimonial posted on a 3rd-party site can be incredibly powerful. Encourage your customers to send praises via Twitter, Facebook, blog entries, or forum comments. To feature these comments on your site, add a ‘live’ Twitter feed to your home page or link to blogs and other places where customers have left favorable comments.

It’s Michael Rasmussen with some advice based on the most important lesson I’ve ever learned.

When I first started my Internet business, I wanted to make a living for myself rather than “working for the man”. It seemed like a perfect thing to do.

I didn’t know what I was doing, and I definitely did NOT know how to make consistent profits.

That meant I spent all kinds of time searching for stuff that might make me successful, trying experiments, building my business, and more.

But here’s the lesson I had to learn the hard way…

I was essentially WASTING TIME!

What I’m about to tell you could have saved me years of frustration and cash worries, without question. And if you pay attention, you’ll learn how to start seeing success faster than you probably think is possible.

*************************************************
WHY IT’S HARD TO MANAGE YOUR TIME
*************************************************

It seems like it should be easy, but it’s harder than you think.

When most people start their own Internet business, they do it after they get home from their day job. That means they’re working a sort of wacky schedule…basically working all the time.

Most people quit that day job when they start making enough income to pay the bills.

That’s when the trouble can really start, because lots of people have never spent any time not working for somebody else.

If you’re used to working for somebody else, they set your schedule. When you’re the boss, you set your own schedule. Most people actually end up NOT setting one.

I used to work almost literally all the time. I’d start early in the morning, and before I knew it, it was night time.

There was so much to learn, and there was so much excitement as I started to see some things pay off. I just dove in and worked like crazy.

Then I realized that the rest of my life was suffering. I was watching everything else go by, and it was unhealthy. I wasn’t seeing my wife or my girls, and honestly, I felt awful.

So I had to learn some hard lessons about time management.

*************************************************
TIME MANAGEMENT LESSONS THAT SAVED MY LIFE
*************************************************

This isn’t rocket science, but it’s also not something you learn in school. But these time management lessons kept me from watching my life go by without me.

What I figured out was that I was spending a ton of time “working” on my business, but it wasn’t as productive as it should have been.

These lessons helped me balance things out and start seeing fantastic results.

Lesson #1: Schedule Your Day
—————————-

I know you probably hate your boss making you stick to a schedule, but it’s actually kind of smart.

You need to schedule your time so you make the most of it.

Find when you do your best work (I’m best in the morning) and schedule your most profitable activities then.

For example, let’s say you get most of your visitors from articles, and you do your best work at night. You should block out a couple hours at night to do nothing but write and publish articles. That’s using your time wisely.

Now, I know lots of people aren’t yet at the point where they control pretty much all of their time. I understand, but you still need to schedule your Internet business time wisely.

Let’s say you work a normal job from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you want to get to bed by midnight so you aren’t completely wiped out the next day, you have from 5 p.m. to midnight to fit your work in.

You could schedule 3 hours of work in there, and still live your life.

Remember, you can’t rush success. It’s pretty rare that somebody can even speed it up much without burning out. It’s smarter to work on your business a little bit every day.

And the second lesson makes that easy…

Lesson #2: Set A Quitting Time
——————————

Listen, when you work for yourself, you learn fast that you can work too much. There’s nobody to tell you to stop!

And when stuff really starts clicking, you’ll LIKE it. That means it’s hard to pull yourself away.

But you absolutely MUST stop working every day.

One of the guys I’ve hired to do some writing for me has a simple rule: “No work after 7:00 p.m., and none on weekends.”

He just doesn’t break the rule.

Now, you might be best at night, so your rule might be different, but you get the point. You need to decide when you’re going to stop, then stop.

There will obviously be exceptions to this. There might be an emergency, or a special case, or whatever. Those things are unavoidable, but don’t make them a habit. Set your quitting time and stick to it.

Even if you don’t work entirely for yourself, you STILL control the time you spend on your business. When you get home from your job, stick to your Internet business work hours.

And here’s a way to help you do that…

Lesson #3: Schedule Family Time
——————————-

Schedule time to be with your family and do your best not to miss the appointment, ever.

I strongly recommend that you schedule family time after your workday is completely over. That lets you be fully engaged when you’re spending time with people you love.

If you work a sort of normal schedule, where you work during the day and knock off in the late afternoon, this is easier.

But it’s also pretty easy if you do your best work at night.

For example, you can schedule your workday from about 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. That means you’ll be available for family time pretty much all morning and early afternoon.

You have the flexibility to do whatever you want. Do what fits you and your family best.

Now, what if you work a killer day job that demands most of your time? This is where you have to use your head.

You might have to make some big compromises at the beginning. You might have to tell your family that you’re starting this project, and it’s going to take LOTS of your time at outset.

That’s fine! It’s realistic. But don’t let it go too long.

Sprint at the beginning and work hard, but then back off. That’s healthy, it keeps you from getting burned out, and it keeps your family happy.

Lesson #4: Have A Personal Life
——————————-

Your family isn’t all there is. You need some time for yourself.

I realize that there’s only so much time in a day. It’s easy to fill it up and not have room to breathe.

And I definitely know that it’s hard to fit in a day job, your Internet business work, your family AND time for yourself.

But I also know that you have to find some room, or your life will go downhill.

You can skimp on time for yourself every now and then, but it shouldn’t get to be a habit.

I can remember a time just a few years ago when I was working so much that I had zero time for myself. When I look back on it, I can see just how unhealthy it was.

I barely slept. The time I spent with my family wasn’t really “quality” time, because I was so darn tired. My relationships suffered.

And the crazy part is that my business actually did worse!

When I got things back into balance, everything felt right, and my results skyrocketed.

Lesson #5: Spend Work Time On Profits
————————————-

It’s easy to get distracted during your Internet business time. Believe me, I’ve done my share of bouncing around from one fad to another.

The trick is to focus your time on the most profitable activities.

When you first start, you don’t know what’s going to make you profits, so you have to focus on things that MIGHT.

Once you find things that do make you consistent returns, though, it’s time to focus on those like a laser beam.

Focus on doing what makes you the most, then start to outsource literally everything else as your profits grow.

Your goal should be to work less and make more.

One great way to do this is to segment your work time.

I like to spend the very first part of my workday on the activities that make me the most profit. Then I take a short break. Then I spend some time working on an ongoing project to grow my business.

It’s sort of a rhythm to my work time.

That lets me spend about 2-3 hours every day working on my current income generation. Then I can also spend about that much time working on something that’s going to grow my business.

For example, you could spend 2-3 hours working on your website, and writing some articles to get visitors. Then you could spend 2-3 hours working on an e-book you’re writing to add to your product library.

Internet Marketing couple Calvin Woon and Patricia Lin has launched this awesome traffic and link building service that I simply have to let you know about it fast!

Regardless of what you’re selling online, there’s one thing that EVERYONE needs.

So imagine if you had a professional and effective traffic team at your disposal.

How much more profits could your business make?

And how much time would it save you without you having to do all the dirty manual work?

If you’re like any other business owner, you answer should be “LOTS OF!”

So this is certainly something which is going to benefit you ALOT.
