Only 3 Methods To Selling Information

How good is the FREE information you're getting...really? Why should I pay for it when I can get it free? Admit it, some among us only want to look for freebies online and can afford to delay or even withold purchasing something for an indefinite period of time.

But you know what the problem is? In the long term, when you get fed with too much free info, you will be psychologically blind-sided from appreciating and gauging the true monetary value of these info.

"The 95% poor, 5% rich" phenomenon which can be observed in the real world is also reflected in Internet Marketing. The majority of aspiring netrepreneurs who insist on being fed with so much free e-books and software will ultimately fail to attain the one and only necessary awareness to break away from the 'free' cycle into the 'paid' cycle.

To illustrate what we mean, take a look at the following cycles:

Does it make sense? Until one begins to seriously purchase information with which s/he can execute to make money, s/he will never understand just what type and quality of information can really make money.

The expert marketers who say they still invest $18,000 in their own training every month are not bragging that they have spare cash to unload. If the information they bought made them many times more, it is definitely the right information at the right time, nothing else matters, nor the free e-books or software.

Information is distributed free for 2 reasons:

1) They are already monetarily worthless, although they may still be useful to an extent.

2) Whoever started the distribution in the first place is doing it for the primary motive of spreading his/her name, website and products/services.

If you truly want to "break free", there are 3 essential methods (there may be more) infopreneurs actually make money:

1. resell existing information
2. explain processes
3. compile raw information

Method #1 is simple; you just take the existing information and resell it, not much work you need to do. Method #2 and #3 involve more time and effort. Infopreneurs go to the market and find out what information the people are looking for, and then they have in-depth study about the topic, gather the information they have piece by piece and make it a more focus topic for their readers. The readers are paying for the incentive to infopreneurs to work harder on other topics.

So, you just got to find your market, what do they want to look for. The simply way to start your research is to use the Google search engine. Try to put in your research topic in the search engine and see, you will find that tons of information you can get there. The challenge is your clarity at sussing out and handling the right information.

10 Authentic Ways To Increase Your Sales

1. Use a "P.S." at the end of your ad copy. This is where you either want to repeat a strong benefit or use a strong close, like a free bonus. For example, "P.S. You can get (product), worth over ($), for
the low price of ($)!" Another example, "P.S. I cannot guarantee the (No.) bonuses will be here tomorrow!"

2. You could end your ad copy with a discounted price. Just list your regular price and then offer a discounted price off the order "right now". You could also offer a rebate that takes effect instantly. For example, you could say, "Instead of paying $99, you could order now and get an instant rebate of
$20—you only pay $79!"

3. You could end your ad copy with a free sample or trial of your product. If your ad didn't attract them to buy, maybe a free sample or trial would. If you were selling an e-book, you could give them a free sample at the end of your ad copy. For example, you could say, "If you're still not sure about ordering, download a FREE sample chapter!

4. Sell a few backend products that are not related to your main product but are needed by all humans. Every customer that buys from you is human. Think about it Tan—everyone eats, right? For example, you could say, "Free Bonus #1 A Free $30 Dollar Coupon To The Restaurant Of Your Choice!"

5. Take on as many of your business' chores as you can handle; outsource what you can't. Only you can determine how your business operates. You don't want too many people making all your decisions, but you don't want to take on so much responsibility that you become a workaholic.

6. Try out new business opportunities. You could combine them with your current business. It could add an extra profit stream to your website. You could join affiliate programs, MLMs, dropship selling programs, etc. Another idea would be to joint venture with other businesses.

7. Create an alliance with 3 or 4 websites. Include each of your ads or banners on the other websites. You will all share targeted traffic with each other. For example, you would instantly have 3 websites selling for you without paying them an affiliate income. You would just be giving them ad space on your website.

8. Create a free e-zine directory. You'll attract a lot of traffic from e-zine publishers and people who want to subscribe to the e-zines. Your listings could include name, subscription instructions, publisher's name, etc. Of course you could put your own e-zine listing at the top of your directory to get extra exposure.

9. When you offer a freebie from your site, submit it to freebie sites. They provide target categories which mean targeted traffic. So if you're submitting software, you could submit it to the "free software" section. Just remember, some freebie sites want you to link to their website before they will list your freebie submission.

10. Make your visitors curious about your product by telling them they need to sign up to get into a password-protected site to read the rest of the ad. This will give your product extra perceived value because it is so well guarded. Just like a diamond in a bank vault.
