Indietro in 1999 ho cominciato osservare sul Internet per potere completare il mio reddito. 

Ero un povero Pastor $40.000 della gioventù nel debito dai prestiti del Seminary ed anche in un certo debito principale del consumatore sulle mie carte di credito.

Ero l'americano medio tipico, leveraged al hilt su accreditamento senza il posto da andare.

Pozzo…. Ho avuto un posto da andare e quello era il Internet. Ho saputo che questo mezzo mi concederebbe le idee e le occasioni avere la più libertà di tempo, la libertà finanziaria e tempo con la mia famiglia.

Il ministero può masticare in su e spit fuori i relativi pastors come merci danneggiate e per tutto l'amore della gente e del helping del serving la gente trova la salvezza in Jesus, esso può essere un lavoro ingrato, per poca paga. Non è quel senso per tutti i Pastors ed ho avuto molta gente grande da servire di fianco con quando stavo lavorando nella chiesa, ma lo ho lasciato dare alcuni gente e pastors un certo consiglio….

I Pastors non prendono i voti di povertà. I Priests. Guardi alcuna della gente più ricca nel mondo, durante i tempi biblici… Re David, Solomon & Abraham. Hanno servito ed avuti blessings finanziari grandi.

Potete cambiare la vostra situazione e diventare finanziariamente liberi anche, qualunque cosa la vostra professione. Molti dei pastors di nazioni fanno una vita grande dal servire anche, ma lontano troppa lotta finanziariamente, come.

Così, i primi soldi che fanno occasione che ho trovato, che ero ora il famoso “trasmetto 5 dollari„ nella posta, scam della lettera chain. E congettura chi è caduto per esso? Me! Ho messo i miei $5 in 5 buste e le ho spedite per posta fuori e realmente ho ottenuto da più successivamente 2 lettere la gente, 5 settimane, una da una certa persona in Europa… e mai qualche cosa più. Era la mia prima occasione internazionale di affari! :).

Dopo, sono diventato una filiale. Ho imparato che potrei vendere qualcun'altro prodotto. But who would I get to buy this stuff?

I spent tons of money throwing my ads out to places on the net where people told me others would see my offer, but no one bought anything.

They would click to check out my offer, but would not click to buy. And I had no method of follow up since they would leave my site and I did not know who my visitors were and I did not capture their info, and build a list.

I bought tools and ebooks and I went to conference calls, but still, I was spending way more money than I was ever making. Thank God for tax returns each year, where I would get some money back… but soon, I’d blow that wad too.

I discovered this advertising and marketing technique called a “safelist” and I joined and told everyone to join and buy my product by sending out 1000’s of emails to people who gave me “permission” to mail offers to them.

But what I did not realize was all the members of the safelist, were going to mail me an offer to buy their product too. And my mailbox filled up with 10,000 emails a month of people trying to get me into their deal. Pretty soon, everyone just sent offers, no one was reading anything.

Here is where I had my first epiphany and did something right…

CREATE AND CONTROL MARKETS

I learned from Matt Bacak, who learned this from a billionaire mentor of his, that if you want to get rich, then you have to CREATE and CONTROL markets. You have to DOMINATE and be the top and be the best in your niche, even better, create the niche!

So, I planned to create and control the safelist market. I bought a safelist for myself and I told everyone I could to come and post their ads to each other on my list.

And it worked.

1000’s of Network Marketers, stay home moms and dads, college students, grandmas and grandpas were posting their ads to my list members. Then I started charging them a fee.

And they paid it. Wow!

And then I realized, “Hey, I am the owner of this list, these people just email out to junk email accounts, and no one reads each other’s offers. But I have their REAL sign up email, and I’ll make it a policy that I can send out emails from ME toTHEIR contact, or main email, and they must give me permission to mail to them, or they cannot join my list.”

And that was the first really smart thing I did to make money on the internet.

I would simply put together a rather short email, make some interesting copy, that people enjoyed reading, and then hit the “SEND” button and blast this ad to my member’s contact emails, where I was sure people would read them.

Guess what happened?

People read them, and they took my advice because I was perceived as an “expert” simply because I owned my own safelist. I started to actually make little paychecks. We were on our way finally making money on the internet.

I transitioned out of the safelist market, and decided, after attending a live internet marketing conference, that I needed to build my own list a new way, and build value to people who visit my sites by teaching them things and in return, I’d ask them to join my list, where they would get tips, tricks and special offers on the latest and greatest programs on the net.

And that worked too.

Over the last 3 years, I built a very large list of people, one email and one permission based opt-in at a time.

If you are not building a list, you need to start using powerful list building resources like AWEBER to help you.

And I am now at a place where I can often make $10,000 with just one mailing to my list in one day. As a matter of fact, there is hardly a week that goes by now, where I am not at least making $5000 on autopilot because of the emails I am sending out back to my list and people are responding.

I learned the power of SYSTEMIZING my business.

I learned that a marketing a business is like moving oil through the Alaska Pipeline.

You have an entry point where the lead first discovers you (your ad, or your website) and then from there takes action to become either interested or not in your product.

Your goal is to move the lead to from becoming a suspect, to becoming a serious evangelist customer. You move them (automatically with more information and follow-up) from suspect to prospect and you want to convert the lead into a buying customer. Once you have a happy customer, you want that person to become your evangelist, promoting you and your product for you as an affiliate.

Here is the pipeline in action moving the lead from the start to the finish.

Suspect --> Prospect –> Customer –> Evangelist (affiliate) You must systematize your business to move people through the information pipeline. (knowing how to do this will make you very rich).

How?

I came up with a fun acronym to help you see the pipeline.

I call it TGIF (no…. it’s not Thank God it’s Friday, or Thank God I Fish)

T + G + I = F

T - is Take Action

G - is Generate Leads

I - is Incessant follow up

F - is Fortune

Let’s break down the formula for each section.

Taking action

This is where most businesses fail.

95% of all small or home based businesses fail after 12-18 months. And it is my opinion it is because there is a lack of action or activity that ceases the flow of sales, and the money simply runs out. Some people do take action, but they are putting their focus on old, outdated traditional types of media or advertising and blow their money, so it’s important to TAKE THE RIGHT ACTION, using the right tools and resources. Having a mentor share these important and working resources is one of the keys to success.

Generating leads is the key.

A website online needs traffic to create leads. A great looking site, with no visitors is just a great looking site, not making you money. So, you need to become a lead generator. This, in my opinion is one of the easiest things you can do. Generating traffic to websites, and sending quality and qualified visitors takes time to learn, but when done right, will lead your potential clients to buy from you, right on your website, without them ever talking to you!

Incessant Follow up is vital.

My philosophy is to build an email database by creating lead capture pages, websites, and blogs to do one thing only - capture leads. Once you have the lead, you need an email autoresponder to follow up with those leads. I send email to my leads who opt-in for 7 days straight, then I begin to back off a little and space it out every couple days, week, then months. BUT.. I never stop emailing people on my list.

I will email these leads until they buy, die or unsubscribe off my list.

This is the secret to success with follow up.

Most people send back ONE email follow up, and are not personal, and then end all communication hoping for a one time hit sale.

Almost all your sales will come from the follow up sequence where a few buy with the first offer, but I see many more buying after touch 4-9. That means it takes 4-9 follow up messages to build trust, value in your offer and help your leads see value in parting with their hard earned money to buy your product, solution or coaching program.

Don’t End with ONE Product Another big secret with incessant follow up is that once you have a person as a customer, teach them to consume your product or service so they immediately feel the value of owning it and then want to tell others about it as an affiliate.

I have 54 follow emails that go to my customers who join my Coastal Vacations Club business to teach and train them on how to market the membership to other home business opportunity seekers.

Then I also follow up with periodic backend offer, tools and resources to help them grow their business. Many of them join me in other ventures like our Mortgage Elimination Program as well, that allows them to pay off their home mortgage in 7-12 years, not 30, saving up to 70% on interest payments.

When you follow the TGIF Formula, the last letter is “F” for Fortune. You’ll simply create a pipeline of profits from automated sales and can build little follow up systems for an unlimited amounts of niches and products.

Here is one more secret. Don’t try to figure out how to do this alone, learn from a mentor, like Jeff Mills and also hire someone who can build websites, who knows how to write HTML code and how to integrate autoresponders, and who has some basic understanding of website copy, autoresponder copy, and such, so that your words are selling prospect on your pages to take actions, and in your emails HOW to become customers, by taking action immediately. Use words like, “buy now”, “download today”, “order today”, “get started immediately” - create urgency and people will follow your orders and do what you tell them to do… eventually… or they’ll bail off your list and someone will soon replace them, who really wants and needs what you have to sell.

By using a TGIF system, you don’t have to go out there and spend a ton of money buying leads and talking to leads. You make the leads or let the leads come to you, talk to you when THEY are ready and collect the money, all the way to the bank.
