A Positive Business Mindset 3

Profits and Success

The real profit in your business will be made by:

• Capturing more sign ups or inquiries about your product
• Selling a client multiple products over time
• Selling them higher priced products after they trust you

When your customer does buy something from you, you need to provide something which is not just the same as every other product in your market. In fact this is where you will develop a USP or a unique selling proposition for your product. I discussed this business strategy in a previous article and I will explain this business development plan more as I get into product development for your market.

The idea here is to be unique compared to all other products out there or if nothing else unique in the way the product is presented. Presentation means a lot sometimes and this is how some affiliate marketers sell a lot more of the same product than others.

One thing you will want to offer to your prospects as well as your list of clients is an incredible amount of value. Notice I say “value” and not a large quantity of useless bonuses? You may want to add bonuses or not, but if not then make sure the main product has so much value that people can’t refuse it. An example would be an e-book on bass fishing you composed which you want to add more value to so you add some videos on how to use different techniques showing the customer visually and not just in writing. This is a multiple content business strategy that I will discuss later.

A big key to maximizing profits with a list of prospects and clients is following up with your subscribers to any emailing or RSS syndication you do. This is crucial beyond belief and is the best way to communicate with customers and stay at the front of their mind.

Your typical auto responder will allow you to communicate and follow up with people without you having to be in front of them. In fact without having to even write the email right before you communicate with them. It is nice to write a series of emails to your list of clients and prospects and let the auto responder do the work for you. Strategic management and automation allows you to write messages in a proper sequence and have them on a schedule to go out on specific days. Auto responders will be covered at length later.

Quiting before you have a chance to succeed is most people’s business marketing pitfall. Does that sound trite? It is the main reason people fail. There are usually two reasons people quit before a good idea actually yields profit. There is no support system for your marketing endeavors if you have not made money yet. People will kill your dreams and not take you seriously unless you have made a significant amount of money already. If you have made some money they might laugh it off as a good hobby. You need a support system which enables you not disables you.

In other words a group of like minded individuals of varying degrees of success in marketing who will not belittle your efforts. You might become discouraged too fast and reach for a quick job rather than take the extra pain to reach your end goal. It can be painful to see your first success with online marketing. Mine was several years and negative profits worth of pain and I paid for my final successes with some real agony, but I didn’t quit.

The second reason you may quit before you succeed is you may not realize you are working on a gold mine idea. Market research and tweaking of your product may be all you need to have your business strategy become a success. Maybe you just weren’t interested in your market enough? Either way start a new market or do some research to keep moving ahead.
