Translate itDo you want to sell more online? Do you want your ads to get more clicks, your sales letters to convert more visitors into buyers and dramatically increase your bottom line?

If you answered yes then you need to know about benefits. You need to know what benefits are, how they differ from features. It’s time to learn create what are called “benefit statements”.

Knowing this can make life easier. It can help you sell more. Why?

You have probably heard the term “affiliate program” many times. People talk about them, advertise them, and promote them.

Every marketer and their pet hamster (including me) have recommended you start your online career by being an “affiliate”.

But has anyone actually defined an affiliate program for you? Do you understand what being an affiliate is all about?

Whether you’re a newbie or just a little overwhelmed by all the information floating around online, I’d like to help you understand what affiliate programs are and what they can do for you.

An affiliate program (sometimes called an associate program) is basically defined as an arrangement in which an online merchant (such as Amazon.com) pays you a commission to send them traffic. [click to continue…]

I have a confession to make … I LOVE words. I love to use them. Love to learn new ones.

I especially love to find just the right combination of words that convey exactly what I mean and cause people to respond in ways that are profitable for everyone.

And I love using four letter words too! Many of you know that I’m a Christian, which begs the question – how can you love four letter words?

It’s not THAT kind of work I’m talking about!  :-)

It’s all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget to do those basic things that create real results in our lives.

While posting video and Twittering are all fine and good, we MUST use the basic and proven methods of marketing if we want to survive and thrive.

And email marketing is one of those basics, one you might be overlooking right now.

It is undeniable that the MOST powerful form of marketing online today is email marketing.

If you look at any major product launch you will see they are done with email marketing. Even these silly “email is dead” desktop delivery products are sold using the medium they claim to be replacing … email!

Make Your Site Sticky

Everyone who owns a web site wants it to be “sticky”. We want visitors to stay on our site long enough to see what we have to offer … and hopefully buy something.

In this regard, web sites and offline stores have something in common. While we both suffer from our share of “tire kickers” (those who never intended to buy), we know that the longer a person stays in our store the greater the odds that they will buy something. And much like an offline store, we entice them in every way we can to stay a while.

Here are four ways to put more sticky in YOUR site.
