Have you ever wondered why, with all the hype about the Internet being a source for one to get rich quick , only a handful actually make "Real Money" online?

Why is it that after posting your ad to Free and Paid Advertising, loads of Free-For-All-Pages but you still don't get your desired results?

The point you must remember friends, is that, you have to do the activities that can bring you result. (Simple fact but true )

Ask yourself. What is the primary purpose of my Web site and ezine? Is it for charity or is it to sell or promote your products or services?

You must remember that your sole purpose (if you are doing business online) is only one thing. That is to sell or promote your product or services. Any thing else would mean frustration and pain for you in the long run. Always remember this profound truth that " Nothing Happens Until Somebody Sells Something" whether Online or Offline.

This article reveals to you how you can use 5 crucial tips that can save you dollars by just spending pennies.


1. You need to know your target market. Imagine if your are a specialist in clay pottery would you post your information to dental surgeons? Let us give you a couple of examples of what happened to one of our friends sometime back. In his enthusiasm to post his article on Internet marketing to ezine publishers for their consideration, he found out that some of these publishers don't sell or promote products or services. One such publication was an ezine for vampires. ( Oh boy! was he in the wrong target group. He had to fearfully apologies)

Next was an ezine publisher for dog care.( Hey, this guy was not impress either lol ). We believe you get the message. Don't waste your efforts. With over 400 million Internet user currently and over a million getting into the bandwagon every month. Do you think you can find your targeted audience? Of course you can! You can then get them to opt-in to your mailing list so that you can give them daily, weekly or monthly information.


2. You need to qualify your prospects. Why offer your products or services to people who cannot make decisions or the money to buy. A personal friend of ours in the insurance industry did not make a single sale for six months. The reason being, he was seeing all his friends or prospects who were broke. By now you would realize that on the Internet you would find plenty of free loaders and tire-kickers. Who are ever ready to complain but do nothing else.(Some of them are so good at complaining that probably someone should pay them for it. lol )


3. Start using Multi-Marketing Methods. Develop a good sales letter or offer free reports so that they can contact you. We met an architect recently who wanted to sell his innovative architectural widget online. During the session with him we found out that he writes good articles on architecture. Can you guess what we suggested? Yes, we recommended ideas on how to find his target group. And then write articles or reports for his own ezine for the benefit of his targeted group. He is now on his way make a professional presence online for a niche market.

4. You need to use testimonial marketing. You're satisfied customers can direct loads of targeted traffic to your site. Some of you might remember Joe Gerard. Who was the Guinness Books World record holder for being the Top car salesman for many years. In his book " How to Sell anything to anybody ", he talks about Law of 250. That is, everyone knows 250 people in his or her life important enough to recommend what you have. Add that with a solid testimony from them to post on your website you have gained instant credibility.

5. In addition to all these tips, it is you, who will make the difference, how big your online business is going to be. Ask yourself these questions once in a while. Do you spend enough time to prepare and promote your business? Would you invest on yourself with good Internet Marketing courses or programs? Would you seek expert help to find out how to make things work? Do you know that many of the good stuffs on these topics are through paid membership sites, e-books and online courses? You must remember by not taking action it cost you dollars but by taking action it cost you pennies.
