Preselling trade secrets

Preselling Trade Secrets

Compared with their real-world business counterparts, affiliate marketing is different in a rather radical way. One of the most radical ideas is that in online business, preselling is just as important, if not more so, than the business of actual selling.

Just a few years back, online businesses used to do their own necessary work and all other related things in their own sites. The reasoning was that there was no better place to presell their site than on their site itself.

Unfortunately, very few small business sites were successful. Preselling has its own art and science. Also, it was discovered that separate preselling sites are better off alone than incorporating them in the actual selling sites.

It was not long after when secrets and techniques starting cropping up from everywhere. Some were tried and tested to be effective. Some were good, and some are so-so. Here are some of the really better ones.

Information give-away

The first secret is to give away useful free information to the public. In exchange for this freebie, make your visitors give their email addresses.

This is very important in the sense that this should be the primary objective of your site getting contact data. With this, you will now be able to send your marketing message to them again and again at no cost.

Offer visitors interesting special reports or email courses that will position you as the expert. Your reports could include buying tips, questions to ask during buying, what to look for in buying, and many other pertinent things.

Testimonials

When you talk about yourself, people tend not to listen or go away. But when people without any vested interest in your success sing your praises, the magic begins.

Be an avid collector of testimonials simply because they are so powerful. Sprinkle them all over your site, but never in one grouping.

These testimonials do not have to be from customers alone. Get some from industry experts, well-known personalities and other celebrities (only from those who can give them out for free).

Our story page

A page on different stories of people will humanize your site and present you (and your people) as real rather than a bag of words. For trust and rapport-building, this technique is tops.

Tell the people in your own personal storytelling style the stories behind the company, the people around, and some other interesting tidbits. Here you can talk about your awards and achievements without sounding like a windbag.

Case studies

The stories here are special because they are testimonials with a twist problems found and solved.

The key to the writing is the explanation of the problem, presentation of the solution that solved the problem and finally, the description of the positive results.

Emotions

Most sites have the common mistake of presenting boring specifications and data in describing their product. Compelling descriptions, colorful imagery these are just some tools in making your copy come alive.

Make separate mini-sales letters to each of your product and describe its benefits. Highlight the emotion why your prospect should choose it.

All in all, these tips are some of the best techniques there are in the area of preselling. Give them a chance to prove themselves.

nutrition, multi vitamins

Having sufficient nutrients in the body is a general goal for everyone. It doesn't necessarily take great effort to achieve this goal. If you simply follow a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, you should be healthy. However, taking medication, genetics, and age can cause you to become vitamin or mineral deficient. Potassium is one such mineral that the elderly or those individuals who care for them should be aware.

Potassium is a mineral that, in combination with sodium and calcium, maintains normal heart rhythm, regulates the body's water balance, and is responsible for the conduction of nerve impulses and the contraction of muscles. The body of an average-sized person contains about 5 ounces (140 g) of potassium. Blood levels of the mineral are controlled by the kidneys, which eliminate any excess in the urine.

Potassium deficiency is rare because almost all foods contain potassium. The best sources of potassium include lean meat, whol

If you wish to be set apart from the crowd and get noticed for what you do, then it is almost an axiom that you should be disciplined and be able to make the most of what you currently have.

As a worker, your most valuable asset is yourself, and how you manage yourself will determine whether you will be in the next wave of promotions or the next wave of firings.

If you wish to be set apart from the crowd and get noticed for what you do, then it is almost an axiom that you should be disciplined and be able to make the most of what you currently have.

As a worker, your most valuable asset is yourself, and how you manage yourself will determine whether you will be in the next wave of promotions or the next wave of firings.

Here are some of good work habits that will set you apart:

Think positively. In business, there will always be people who only see the difficulties involved in any undertaking. In contrast, there are those people who only see the possibilities and potential of any given venture.

If you had to choose between the two, choose the latter attitude it will bring you greater results. While you should not turn a blind eye to potential problems indeed, you should plan to either avoid them or deal with them you should not hold a pessimistic view of the world either.

This will only lessen your productivity and possibly spread an unwanted attitude among the people with whom you work with.

Plan your day ahead of time. When one is not aware of what needs to be done during the day, the day tends to be wasted in non-productive tasks.

But if one has a plan of action to follow, it becomes easier to mobilize the energy that is needed to make the day a success. Each evening before you go to bed, list down the five most important things that you must accomplish the following day.

Then, work on (and finish) the most important item before moving on to the second one. This will ensure that you will work on the most significant of your tasks and get a high-value return on your time.

Remember the 80/20 Principle. The 80/20 principle (also known as Paretos rule), was first formulated by the italian thinker Vilfredo Pareto.

As applied to personal productivity, it postulates that 80% of your results come from only 20% of your efforts, and that 20% of your results are the product of 80% of your effort

Basically, the 80/20 principle states that we are usually inefficient. We do not devote as much time and energy as we should to our most important tasks.

Instead, we try to do everything ourselves, even though we may not be very competent in some tasks. If you wish to improve your productivity at work, analyze what it is you do that can make a dramatic impact on the growth of your company, and propose to your superiors that you be allowed to do that one thing.

If you chose an area wherein you can make a real contribution, your boss will not mind your level of specialization.
