Step 9. Get Automated

Now its time to put our Traffic Snowball on Autopilot!

Auto responders are one of the top promotional tools available online today. They are also known as mailbots, automatic email and email on demand. They were derived from the very popular fax on demand and designed to automatically respond to any email message sent to it with an automatic response.

Their popularity most likely stems from its vast variety of uses as it eliminates the need to manually answer every response. Subsequently saving hours of valuable time. Your information can be available to your prospective customer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Get your best ad copy ready, load it to your autoresponder and our business is set to autopilot. When your prospective customer sends a message to your autoresponder address, your information will be instantly delivered to their email address.

There are many ways of utilizing the power of autoresponders:

* Sample E-zine Copy for potential subscribers
* Articles For Publication - A great way for writers to distribute their articles
* Offer Free Powerful Reports on various subjects and use your signature file at the end to promote your site or business
* Offer Free Resources with information about your site, product or business
* Information about your Business Opportunity
* Product listings
* Price list
* Welcome letters
* Thank you letters
* Order Confirmations
* Advertising Rates

Advantages

There are many advantages associated with the use of auto responders. Not only do they automate the daily task of manually replying to requests for information, but they provide instant gratification for the recipient. They also enable you to track your ad responses and gather the email addresses of potential customers. A good auto responder service will automatically send you an email notification informing you each time someone requests your information.

Selecting a quality auto responder service:

When selecting a auto responder service, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration to ensure maximum performance.

* Personalized responses - This makes the recipient feel that the letter was sent specifically to them.
* Automatic follow ups - Studies have shown it may take up to seven contacts before closing a sale.
* Unlimited text length - If you are inhibited by the amount of text your autoresponder may contain, you may be forced to revise a successful sales letter, ultimately costing you business.
* Free Unlimited updating - It is imperative to provide your customers with accurate, up to date information on your products and services.
* Automatic Notification - You must have the ability to track your ads performance. You should be instantly informed each time someone requests your information.

Advertising Tips:

Here are some ways you can take advantage of the use of autoresponders
* Include your autoresponder address in your signature file (see Step 11: Create a Traffic virus) then any enquiry to your advertised email address will be automated.
* When placing classified ads, instead of supplying your regular email address, use your autoresponder address.
* Appropriate News Groups
* Opt in email discussion lists
* Guestbooks
* Business Cards
* Letter Head
* Your web site

Key Coding Your Ads:

Tracking your ads response rate will be the key to your marketing success. Once you test your ads and determine which ad is pulling the most responses, you can easily test which classified ad sites are producing results as well. This will save you a lot of valuable time by only placing your ads at classified ad sites that produce results.

1. Make a list of the classified ad sites you intend to post your ad.
2. Number the list of ad sites.
3. You can key your ad using the subject of your email. Many times, if you ask for a certain “subject” description, it may not be provided.

To avoid this problem you can add a simple code to your email tag. freeinfo@yourautoadd.com?subject=cl1

This code should contain your auto responder address and will automatically fill in the subject with your ad key when clicked on. The “cl1″ stands for the classified ad site number one. The second ad site you have listed should be coded as “cl2″ or classified ad site number two and so on.

By coding your ads you will know exactly where your leads are coming from.

4. Begin submitting your ad and replace your normal email address with your key coded auto responder address. Auto responders can completely change the way you do business and enable you to put your business on autopilot.

Using Auto responders effectively in advertising

Now lets look at ezine advertising from Step 7 from another angle. The object of our advertising is NOT to direct the visitor to our website. The sole purpose is to obtain the email address of that interested party.

Why should want the email address and not send them to the website?

Well, if we have the email address we can sell the website and what our website has to offers to the interested person at our leisure - not once but as many times as we wish and we can do this all automatically.

We should be more interested in collecting the email address of the lead rather that sending to the website and hoping that a sale will result.

Why?

Because once we have that email address we can send carefully crafted sales messages that are pre-designed automatically sent using our autoresponder

Firstly, before we publish our ad we must PREPARE our response. We should have a series of at least 3-7 messages that are part of the series that indirectly sell our product or service.

We should then start testing our ad by starting with classifieds but instead of sending people to our website we should send them to an email address which is an autoresponder. Our advert could offer a FREE report or training series. In this way we will get a greater response as there is no mention of price or cost at this point. Remember, we are competing with other advertisers so our ad must stand out with an irresistible FREE offer.

Then, once we have that email address we can add to our series of letters until the sale is accomplished or until the lead removes him or herself from the series of letters. This method of advertising can not only create leads for the initial offer or product but we can provide different offers for an indefinite period.

For example we could prepare 26 leading articles that indirectly promote our products and set them up in an autoresponder system to send out on a weekly basis. This would give us 6 months of follow up advertising just from from one single email response from our advert. Of course there is always the possibility that the lead will remove themselves from further mailings but in any case this method of automated follow up must be the foundation of of marketing strategy. If we organize and automate our ezine advertising like this then the profits from one single ad will continue to grow and grow into the future.

So where do we start by automating our business.

Prepare The Pages

Every page on your website needs

Every single page on your website must be optimized for the search engines. This means every page needs:

1) Page Title
2) Meta Tags
3) Keywords in Header tags
4) ALT tags on all images
5) Keyword-filled content
6) Keywords as close to the top of each page as possible
7) Keywords in links to other pages
8) Keywords in outbound links

Page Title

Most search engines will use this as part of the information that is displayed when your site shows up in search results.

It is also important in the determination of what a particular page is about. For this reason you should make sure to put keywords in your page title, and preferably at the beginning of the title.

For example, for my AffiliateMatch.com website, my page title is:

Affiliate Programs Directory - AffiliateMatch.com

This helps my site to rank well for searches on “affiliate” or “affiliate programs” or “affiliate programs directory.”

Make sure you put in your most important keywords that you found in the previous article, and try to position them at the beginning.

It is not always possible to put them at the beginning and still be readable, but will definitely help if you are able to do this.

Meta Tags

These things become less and less important as time goes by.

At this point I don’t believe very many search engines even look at Meta Tags anymore, but since they are easy enough to setup, and because some engines do use them, it can’t hurt.

For the search engines that no longer use them, they just ignore them, so it won’t hurt you to have them on your pages.

You can find a Meta Tag Generator easily on the Internet. Just do a search in Google or Yahoo for that keyword. Simply enter your keywords and description and it will create them for you. Just copy and paste that into your page and you are set.

Keywords in Header tags

This means creating a heading for each page that contains the keywords you are targeting on that specific page. For example, if you want to target “search engines”, create a heading with the following code:

<h1>Search Engines</h1>

To your visitors, this would look like:

Search Engines

If that is too large for your particular page, you can also go with <h2> and <h3> tags instead.

To the search engines, this would be considered an important keyword phrase for that page.

The search engine would then compare that to the rest of the text found on the page and use all of this to determine the most important keywords for that particular page.

Make sure you do this on every page of your website!

ALT tags on all images

Another tip is to make sure every image on each page of your website has the ALT attribute. You want to put keywords in these. Don’t overdo this, but use them as an additional place to plug in a few keywords.

The way this looks is:

<img src=”/images/someimage.gif” alt=”search engines”>

In this example, I’d be adding a little more weighting for the phrase: “search engines”.

The actual purpose for this tag is to display text for those that surf with images turned off, or when you move your mouse over an image this text is what will popup.

Somebody along the line figured out you could stuff keywords in there because some search engines use the information in the alt tags for keyword relevancy calculations as well.

Keyword-filled content

You really can’t get away from this one. The more content-filled pages your website has, the better.

The fact is that they like lots of relevant, keyword-filled content. The more they can find, the happier they (and you) will be.

The best way that I have found to do this is with articles.

Articles can be reused in so many different ways, and they add excellent search engine bait for your website.

In later articles I’ll give you some great ideas for using articles as an important part of your traffic-building strategy.

Keywords as close to the top of each page as possible

This is my favorite, and I only wish I would have figured it out sooner! What this entails is very simply making sure you have the keywords you are targeting with a particular page as high up in the code for that page as possible.

To see this, open your web page with Notepad and look through all the gibberish … Title, Meta Tags, all that junk and look for the very first words that would be visible to someone reading your page.

The absolute first words need to be keywords!

As an example, take a look at my AffiliateMatch website by clicking here. Once that window opens up, go to the View Menu in your browser, and then Source. This is the actual code that makes up this page, and is also what the search engines see.

After you wade through all the gobbledygook, you’ll get to the text that visitors will actually see. In this graphic I’ve highlighted the first two words:

sample pages

Even though there is a ton of junk above that, the search engines know that these are the first ‘visible’ words on this page.

The very first words for this page are affiliate programs. That’s the phrase I’m targeting.

Go to Google.com and type in affiliate programs and see what site is number one, and you’ll see how well this works.

When I first discovered this I actually redesigned this particular website to make sure I put those words at the top like that.

Before this I had a menu on the left that actually was higher up in the code of the page.

The problem was that I had text in there too, like: “Signup for my newsletter!” and things like that. This greatly affected my rankings.

After redesigning my site to allow me to put keywords higher up in the code, I quickly started seeing it rise in the rankings.

If your present design doesn’t allow for this, you might want to give some thought to either having only graphics in the menu, or redesigning it.

The idea for having more graphics is that these will be overlooked by the search engines as they search for the first ‘visible’ text on the page.

Keywords in links to other pages

Make sure when you have links to other pages on your site, or to other websites, that you use your keywords in the link.

For example, if you are targeting “search engines” on a particular page, create a link to a page on your site, and in the link call it: search engine listings.

The page the link points to can simply be a list of the most popular search engines.

Here is the same screen shot of the source code from my AffiliateMatch website so you can see an example of this, but this time I’ve highlighted it so you can see that the first two words that I showed you above are also part of a link:

sample pages

Search engines will use the text from your links as another determining factor as to what your page is about, and also what the page you are linking to is about.

In this example you’ll notice that I’ve also bolded these words to give even more emphasis to them and make them look more important to the search engines.

I highly recommend that you combine the methods mentioned on this page whenever possible. For example, the first words on your page could be included in a header tag and be a link pointing to another page on your site.

Combining them in this manner can greatly increase your chances of getting great rankings.

Keywords in outbound links

This is the same as the last one, except this refers to using keywords in the links to other sites.

Again, if you are talking about search engines on a page, and link to someone else’s site for an article on search engine positioning, put “search engine positioning” in the actual link so it looks like:

search engine positioning

The alternative that many people use, but that doesn’t help their search engine ranking any, is to just show the website address like:

www.joeshomepages.com/~redy4u/search.htm

This doesn’t help either of you very much … at least not as far as search engines are concerned.

Whenever you are putting together a page to add to your website, fire up this page and incorporate as many of these steps as possible.

Choose Your Keywords Wisely

How do I know which keywords to target?

The most important task you will have is determining which keywords you should target on any given page of your website.

I say “any given page of your website” because you should optimize each page individually. Each page on your site needs to be able to stand on its own as far as ranking for keywords on that particular page.

This enables you to bring in visitors on many different keywords and keyword phrases instead of just the few that your home page will be optimized for.

I don’t recommend simply copying and pasting each page and then modifying the content. You should take the time and start each page from scratch.

This enables you to better optimize each page for the keywords you are hoping to target. You want to try and take full advantage of the potential traffic you can get by having many ‘doorways’ into your site.

The more doors you have, the more traffic you can get. View each page as a new ‘doorway’ into your site through which Web surfers can enter.

Although your first instinct will be to go with more popular terms such as music, marketing, or cars, you should narrow the scope quite a bit.

Some reasons for not optimizing your pages for these types of keywords are:

1) They are too broad - If your website is about Rap music, would you want to attract thousands of Country music or Gospel music fans? Even if you are tempted to answer ‘yes’ to that question, you should say ‘no’. These visitors won’t be interested in your music, and will quickly leave in search of a site that fits their interests.

2) Too much competition - You will have a much more difficult time getting a high ranking on the search engines when you use these more general and more popular terms because you will have literally millions of websites all trying to get the same spot you are.

3) Too much time and effort involved - If you decide to try and compete with the other millions of webmasters out there trying to get into the top 25 or so listings, you’ll spend an awful lot of time trying to get there, and spend even more trying to keep your position!

I’m sure your next thought will be: “Okay, I’ll go for Internet Marketing, or Rap Music, or Used Cars!”

Well, that does narrow things down a bit, but these phrases will still have a ton of competition.

The better (and more profitable) approach is to search for keywords and keyword phrases that meet both of the following:

1) Popular - They are searched for by a lot of people

2) Have little competition - It is so much easier to get a high ranking (and stay there!) when you target keywords that have little competition.

The key to success with the search engines is to find keywords that many of your potential customers are searching for, but that few of your competitors are optimizing for.

How in the World do I do that?

The absolute best resource you’re going to find online for finding keywords that fit the above criteria is: WordTracker

They offer a free trial, and if you need to have access to the more advanced reporting features, or would like to research other search engines not offered in the trial, you can subscribe to their service for a small fee.

The trial will work just fine, but if you decide to get serious, this will be the best money you spend. Each time you add a new page to your website you should research the best keyword phrases and optimize that page for them.

Since this is such a valuable resource, and because this part of your search engine strategy is so important , I’m going to give you a quick tutorial (complete with screen shots!) of how to use WordTracker to find the best keywords.

Obviously you’ll need to have a general idea of what the subject of your website is, or is going to be, and then click here to go to the WordTracker website.

Once there, find and click on the Trial link. You will then be asked to enter your name and email address to start your trial. (They will send the results to this email address, so make sure you enter a valid address.)

Make sure you check the box to get the weekly Top 500 Keywords report! This is a very useful email that you’ll get once a week that will show you the most popular keywords for that week.

Then you’ll see the following:

wordtracker

For this example I’ll enter in “marketing” and click Proceed, which will then bring up a list of related keywords and phrases:

wordtracker

You will have a left window and a right window, and when you click a keyword it will display the results in the right window.

By clicking on marketing, I get this result in the right window:

wordtracker

This list gives various keyword phrases with the word “marketing” in them, and sorts them by number of searches.

What you will then do is click on a few of these keywords to add them to your basket (don’t worry, this will make more sense after you’ve gone through it once.)

After you’ve added a few of these keywords to your basket, click the link to move to Step 3.

This step gives you some choices that are only available in the full version, so just click the link to go to Step 4.

Step 4 is where you’ll find the good stuff!

wordtracker

The important information on this page is the KEI Analysis. This gives each keyword a rank based on how popular the keyword is, and how much competition it has.

A low score means that either not many people search for the keyword, or that there is too much competition for it.

The amount of competition is determined by searching for each keyword on the selected search engine, and finding out how many sites come up in the results.

What you want is a good mixture of popularity and competition … or lots of popularity and little competition!

If you look at the scale just above the table in this graphic you will see what KEI numbers will mean you have found a good keyword or keyword phrase.

In this example it appears that I didn’t find any good keyword choices.

But, another search I ran found these:

wordtracker

As you can see in that list, there are a few terms that have a very high KEI ranking. This means that these would be good keywords to target because they have a good ratio of popularity to competition.

This is exactly what you are looking for when trying to find the best keywords to target for your website or for individual pages on your website.

When you choose keywords that are popular and that have little competition, you’ll be able to quickly get your site into the top results for that keyword.

The following articles will show you what you must do to make sure you take the right steps to take advantage of the great keywords you discovered during the above process.

Edit : These is a new upgrade from Wordtracker that gives more accurate results. If you find that you liked Wordtracker, you should try KeywordSpy.

The Magic Of Upselling

You can use Resell Rights products to effectively upsell to your customers and increase your profits dramatically.

Di you ever order a meal from McDonalds?

I’m sure you have noticed that they always ask if you want something extra with your order.

“Would you like fries with that?”

“Would you like some dessert with that?”

Do you ever think of how much extra money this tactic produces for the store?

Let me tell you - lots!

So what does this got to do with the resell rights business?

Well, you can do just the same…

Let’s say that you sell a $47 valued Ebook package. When your customer clicks through to your order page you can ask them for an upsell.

You may give them the option of purchasing an extra product for a special discount.

You could for example offer them a $47 valued Ebook for only $17.

That’s a saving for your customer of $30 but also an increase in profits for you - at no extra cost!

This marketing tactic is a real winner and owning the rights to a whole list of products gives you the ability to unleash this strategy for mind blowing profits.

Think about it for a minute.

If you click through to buy a product, and you see an offer like the one above and you know that this offer is only available now - decide whether you want to save $30 by getting the extra product or just get the initial product you wanted.

Not many people can resist a bargain and many -if not most- will choose to take the upsell.

This is the real magic of resale rights products.

This is simply amazing - and you know what?

I wouldn’t have been able to do it if I didn’t own all the resale rights products.

That’s another advantage of resale rights products.

You can also create a best selling product yourself… without doing any writing easy and affordably.

For instance… you can get the content for your own Ebook by:

-Hiring a copy or ghostwriter.

Keep in mind when you’re hiring a copywriter that they should provide you original content and not just copy and paste from web sites. A good rule of thumb to go by is $5 per 500 – 1000 word article.

Remember that the initial investment that you make for any type of product that is downloadable, will pay you over and over again without any extra costs.

(If you’d like to know what to look out for when you hire a ghostwriter, you should get a copy of the Ghostwriters From The Inside Out report.)

Here are some freelance sites where freelancers bid for your work. It doesn’t cost you a penny to find out how much it costs to have something produced.

www.elance.com
www.guru.com
www.scriptlance.com
www.designoutpost.com
www.getafreelancer.com

- Gather articles and compile them into an Ebook.

It is perfectly legal to gather articles that you find for free and place them in Ebooks that you sell or give away.

Just contact the authors of the article and tell them that you want to use their article in an Ebook. Most authors will appreciate this.

I prefer this method because it doesn’t cost any money. Make sure that the articles contain quality information so your readers will not be disappointed.

As long as your Ebook delivers what you promise in the sales page, you’ll be ok.

If you’re afraid of selling information that is available for free, let me tell you that people pay not only for information but for convenience.

They don’t want to wade through tons of crappy content to find good content.

If you can find good content for them, then they will reward you with a “finder’s fee”.

Here are some places where you will find articles:

www.ideamarketers.com
www.articlesubmissions.com
www.authorconnection.com
ezinearticles.com

- Interview experts and create an Ebook.

This is another easy way. There are many products curently selling interviews of experts.

The good thing is that most people who market online will feel proud to contribute to an Ebook.

I know I do

The trick is to be original.

People get excited over new products that they can resell, because they are tired of seeing the same products circulating around.

If they hear about a new product with resell rights, it will really catch their attention.

TIP: In Resale Rights Secrets, Ewen Chia interviewed 19 experts on resell rights marketing. I highly recommend you to get a copy. You’ll discover amazing secrets and powerful strategies to outsell your toughest competition -especially if you’re selling the exact same products as them!
