The simple things have always been the best. I mean let's face it, what would you rather do? Something amazingly simple and see results, or something complex and see very similar results if not worse?
Todays post is very short but hopefully you will take it all in as it could increase your sales 10 fold! Now I do encourage you to use this technique, but either don't use it on every single product or promotion or actually only use it for the pre-launch.
The point of your sales letter is obvious; it's to get people to take action, usually in the form of purchasing something or entering their email and name. But there is a simple way without any extra work that will increase the number of visitors taking action dramatically.
Simply limit whatever you are selling, giving away, etc etc! When things are limted it is proven people take more action because they are afraid on missing out. You can either limit the number you will sell or number of places on a course etc. Or you can limit the time the offer is availble for IE only till the end of the week. OR you could even have a price increase every day, after every purchase or at set time intervals.
The only rule I recommend you follow with this is to actually stick with what you say, for example if you say the offer is only available untill the coming Saturday and you get a repeat visitor the next Tuesday you will not be respected or trusted any longer by that person. Now that may not sound like a lot but word travels fast and even faster if you are getting more than a couple of visitors per day.

How To Create Your Content In HALF The Time
Many marketers find creating their content one of the most time consuming tasks they will ever do online. I quickly realised it was just the same for me and started working on cutting down the time it takes for me to produce quality content. After some time I was pumping out content like a machine, so in this article I describe some of the methods I use to cut down on my writing time.
One of the main things I do is have templates to work from whenever I am writing something. For articles I have title templates, that help me think of ideas of what to write about. For ebooks and short reports I have chapter templates that help piece my different ideas together into a respectable and readable document that I can sell. This cuts down as I don't spend ages deciding what to write or how to get my ideas on paper, before I actually start writing.
My Second hot tip for you is to have checklists whenever you a creating content. One for writing. One for audio. One for video. One for interviews and so on. Then Once you have one for writing, have one for writing articles, writing reports, writing emails. Then every time I create something I quickly go through my checklists to guaruntee I tick every box I need to. This saves stacks of time, that I might spending checking and tweaking the article, becuase of the checklists I dont have to.
Next up to help you save time is to schedule when you are going to create something. I set normally around 3 hours a week JUST for writing articles and only articles! It used to be 5 or 6 but I have learnt how to save my time by boosting my productivity. I have set hours in my business plan for writing ebooks, creating audios, and recording videos. Because of this I am extremely focused this helps me keep to the task at hand until I have completed it.
When creating, think series. This will save you pondering what to explain or how to explain it. If you have created an audio product called 'The 20 Minute Guide To Rocketing The Conversions Of Your Squeeze Page' then you could write something like 'The 20 Minute Guide To Squeezing Cash From Your List'. Now I am sure you couldn't resist the next installment in that series if you had already bought the first. Writing in series will also help you build a brand of content that is instantly recognised and, if your content is good, respected.
My Final tip for cutting down on the time you spend creating content is to split your content into a set number of points. This makes your content instantly easier to write, because you do not have to worry about linking each point in a logical order. It is all easy done by a seperate bullet for each point.
Creating content has never been so easy.

The Income Streams
As an online marketer your obviously here to make money. But as the saying goes 'Don't have all your eggs in one basket'. You see online you need to have various income streams at different levels. You must not rely on just a single source of income, a standalone product or website.
You must slowly build different income streams, through various forms of online marketing. There is a wide choice so try to vary your marketing a little. You could have a successful blog that you monetize well and then a 'E-Store' that sells affiliate products. Along with an ecourse running on a seperate domain that allows the reader to upgrade and pay a set sum every month.
The important thing is that you are building different streams of income; you might of well heard all this before but I believe it is important to cover.
But the big important part of this article is yet to come...
You see even if you are building different income streams you probably aren't making as much money as you could be, without much extra work, if any at all. Here are the two things you must do with your income streams:
Thing about the tips I have given you, they are powerful and WILL work well! Try employing them yourself and see the results then get in touch with me and let me know your thoughts.
Until next time,

You see even if you are building different income streams you probably aren't making as much money as you could be, without much extra work, if any at all. Here are the two things you must do with your income streams:
- Build a regular income through each stream:
Before you move on to working with a new or different income stream, make sure you have established some sort of regular profit or results from the current stream you are working with. You could even setup a 'stream' just for adding people to a list, but again your longterm target would be to make money from that list, the point is your results don't always have to be money orientated.
But stick at each project or stream before you move to the next, work hard at each securing some sort of income by achieving regular traffic and good conversions this shouldn't be the hard part. Once your product is online, work at it until you are getting regular sales (recruiting affiliates/JVs will help you here) Or if you have a blog build regular traffic until your monetizing tactics start to take effect and you notice the results. - Interlink Your Income Streams
The most effective thing you can do after building your streams is to integrate them with each other. This will force your profits to RAPIDLY multiply and result in even more regular income with less work. But the best part of this clever tactic is it's simplicity and it's easiness.
By simply advertising your blog in your new viral report you could find yourself getting an extra 1000 hits a day and therefor providing you with targeted traffic and increasing your income and hopefully making it more regular.
Thing about the tips I have given you, they are powerful and WILL work well! Try employing them yourself and see the results then get in touch with me and let me know your thoughts.
