A Sneaky Little Technique That Can Boost Your Online Profits By Up To 330%!

Today, I'm going to teach you an extremely powerful, marketing "secret" that will get your profits multiplying like rabbits.

But first… let me ask you something.

When is the last time a computer bought your product or paid for your service?

The answer is never. No one sells to machines. And yet, because of the net… because of the technology… because of the automation… experienced entrepreneurs who take their business online, forgot that they're doing business with PEOPLE.

The fact that your "store" is a website or that your marketing message is delivered via email rather than snail mail doesn't change who your target is: real, live human beings with thoughts, emotions… and hopefully deep pockets!

Even though you're using a webpage, an autoresponder, or an email, it's really YOU -- a person -- who's reaching out to a customer or prospect. Success in selling happens when a one-to-one personal connection occurs.

Relationship is the key.

You can't sell benefits to a computer. You can't get a computer excited about how good it will feel after using your product or service. It's so obvious; it's ridiculous.

You're selling to a person. And if you want that person to buy from you, you need to put yourself out there.

So why do a lot of people act like they're criminals and disappear when they're selling online? Are you guilty?

• Do you use the Internet itself to create walls that hide "human side" behind technology.

• Do you hide behind emails instead of making phone calls?

• Do you peak out from behind your website without offering a "hard copy" way to reach you?

• And do you play a weird game of hide-and-seek with customers using frequently asked questions and customer service "tools" so that you never really have to connect?

I know, I know! You're saying that automation and technology are the biggest advantages of the Internet. All these streamlined communications processes help you do good business.

That's fine, if what you want is good business. But personal communication can make your business great.

Sometimes just by adding that personal touch… that human factor… to your site can boost your sales by 100%, 200% to as much as 330%!!!

What am I talking about? I am talking about a tangible demonstration that your business is trustworthy because trust is at the foundation of every sale.

So it turns out that this secret strategy is actually a simple one, too.

I'm talking about adding a phone number to your site… and a mailing address… and a fax number. I'm talking about giving your customer an option contact you one-to-one.

I'm talking about talking! Just talk to your customers and find out what they want.

Now you might say, "Dan, this won't work for me. I'm a one-person operation and I'd get so buried by phone calls that I wouldn't be able to do anything else."

You know how important testing is in business, don't you?

Well, why not test my theory before you reject it. Do it my way. And see if you will actually get a lot of calls.

I think you'll be surprised. I have a lot of clients who add phone numbers to their sites, and they don't really get that many phone calls.

If you're really stretched to the limits time-wise, you could hire someone to handle it for you in-house or outsource it… although I think outsourcing almost defeats the purpose by putting you one step further away from your customers.

Personally, I urge you to talk to your customers once a while. It's time well spent… even if time is money. You'll learn a lot from the conversation -- what people want and how they want it.

And that, I assure you, can be worth millions (literally) to your business.

Do you know that a lot of people actually have a fear of picking the phone and calling a stranger?

So it's unlikely that you're going to get flooded with a lot of Chatty Cathies and Talky Teddies you've never met before who just want to shoot the breeze for ten minutes.

So why will people pick up the phone and call you? Probably for one of four important reasons that make these valuable calls that you'll want to take.

1. They have an urgent problem, and they need a solution now! If your product/service will solve their problems, they'll buy from you - NOW.

2. They want to buy from you, but they might just have a few questions and you answer them well, they'll buy from you - NOW.

3. They might have a comment regarding of your product or service. This could be helpful to your business and make them more likely to buy from you in the future.

4. They might have a problem, and they're mad. But even if they are, you can fix it for them. Then they'll love you, and they'll buy from you again and again.

You may not have realized it before, but every telephone inquiry from a customer or prospect is a money call. And when money calls, you want to be sure to answer. Because each one of these money calls mean sales in one way or the other.

Personally, I love it when my phone rings. Because it's either one of my deep-pocketed mentoring clients who wants to run something by me OR a prospect who wants to give me money.

Ching-Ching! How can you NOT love those calls?

And here's a special message for you if you're selling a luxury service or a high-end product. It's tough to sell big-ticket items offline, and even tougher online. It's not impossible… but it's tough.

Think about it. Someone who's looking for a marketing consultant and sees your site is probably NOT going to plunk down $5000.00 in an electronic payment just based on nothing more than your online sales copy.

And don't be fooled that an autoresponder series will do the trick any better. It's tough to close a sale for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars just through emails. Not impossible… but tough.

But, you can easily close a $5000.00 sale via the telephone. (If you know how to "give good phone," that is).

A lot of copywriters don't do it the "easy way." They avoid the telephone. They only communicate via emails. Or they charge exorbitant "consulting fees" for phone calls as a way to telegraph that they don't want to speak to people.

Now, that's their personal preference.

But perhaps they should put themselves in the shoes of their clients who say, "This means I'm going to hire a copywriter and pay thousands of dollars to a service provider -- an employee -- that I won't even be able to speak to by phone? That stinks!"

Worse than annoying a prospect, lack of accessibility makes people suspicious. They might feel like you're hiding something… that you're not being totally upfront.

Take the mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.

The mayor's office has a website, but his home phone number is listed in the telephone directory. And, while it sounds unbelievable, he actually does pick up the phone when he's home and talk to his constituents.

They love him for it.

Take me for example. I am actually one of the very, very, very few experts who can be reached by phone. If I'm not on a call already or working one-on-one with a client in my office, I always pick up the phone.

And when I can't pick up before the machine does, I try to return all my calls promptly. (Unless, they're trying to sell me insurance or some crap.)

Accessibility is, in a way, my unique selling proposition. People are actually very surprised when I call them back. They know how busy I am. And my prospects respect and appreciate that I prioritize them.

Is every call a walk in the park that ends with a trip to the bank?

Well no. Sometimes I do get calls from some jerk who just wants to "bust my balls" or waste my time.

But really… the whackos are few and far between. Most of my callers are good people. They're calling me because they want me to help them with their conversions, not because they want to BS the weather.

I'd say 95% of the people who call are very serious and I'm happy to have the opportunity to speak with them. As for the other 5%… once they "reveal" themselves, I get off the phone very quickly.

So how can you use this sneak technique to beef up conversions on your site? To borrow the old phone company slogan: "Reach out and touch."

Add a telephone option to your site and take orders via telephone. If you think this could be overwhelming, you could test just taking calls within business hours.

If you're doing huge volume, add a toll-free number.

If you're doing big business in the international market, outsource so that you can accept phone orders 24/7.

The Internet is the Land of Opportunity, although some online entrepreneurs think they're in Lazy Land… and don't understand why they're not succeeding.

They want to live the ultimate Internet marketing lifestyle dream. They want everything to be automated. They want their ads to find the prospects, they want their site to sell the prospect, take the money, and forward a deposit directly into their online bank account.

That dream can be real, but too many business people are relying too much on the technology to do ALL the work for them. Sometimes, it's good to go back to old-fashion communication. Silence may be golden, but in business… talking is pure platinum.

We'll "talk" more soon.

Million Dollar Deals: 100 Joint Venture Marketing Ideas!

could also submit it to other web sites and e-zines
afterwards.
24. Membership For An Ad
Create an online club, membership web site or association
for e-zine publishers. Tell webmasters and e-zine publishers
what's included in the membership and what it costs to join.
Offer them a free membership if, in exchange, they run your
ad on their web site or in their e-zine as long as they stay a
member. Or you could just require them to run an ongoing
ad for the membership web site. Of course your main web
site and products would be linked to it.
25. Ad In An E-book For An E-zine Ad
Create a directory of free e-zines in e-book format. In it, list
the free e-zines of publishers who have agreed to advertise
the free e-book on their web site and in their e-zine. When
you build up a large number of participating e-zines, this will
give the larger e-zines an incentive to give away or advertise
your free e-book. Of course you will have your own product
ads in the e-book.
26. Ad In An E-book For An Ad
Create a directory of web sites (on a specific topic) in e-book
format. In it list the web sites of webmasters who have
agreed to advertise the free e-book on their web site and in

participating webmasters, this will give the popular web sites
an incentive to give away or advertise your free e-book. Of
course you will have your own product ads in the e-book.
27. Customized E-book For An Ad
You could ask webmasters and e-zine publishers to
advertise your free e-book. Tell them that the e-book can be

you will have your own product ads in the e-book too.
28. Free Product For Joining Your Affiliate Program

to advertise your product.

for a longer period of time or throw in a bonus item.
31. Listing In An E-zine Directory For An E-zine Ad
Create a directory of free e-zines on your web site. In it, list
free e-zines of publishers who have agreed to advertise the
directory on their web site and in their e-zines. When you
build up a large number of participating e-zines, this will give
even the larger e-zines an incentive to advertise your free ezine
directory. Of course you will have the products you are
selling advertised in the directory.
32. Write An Opinion For An E-zine Publisher
Most e-zine publishers publish free e-zines so they can
regularly advertise their web site, product or service to their
subscribers. So if you wrote an excellent web site/product
review, testimonial or endorsement for the e-zine publishers,
they would likely publish it in their e-zine. Most publishers
know good testimonials draw more traffic and sales than
regular ads (to be sure, you can ask them ahead of time).
Write about the benefits and features you liked and/or
received. Tell them they can publish it in their e-zine if they
include your resource box (ad).

34. Compile E-zine (Archives) Into A Free E-eook
Many of e-zine publishers don't publish their archives on
their web site. It's extra work and takes up a lot of web
space. You could offer to archive an e-zine's back issues in
a free e-book format on your web site in return for the e-zine
continuing to run one of your ads. Or just have them
mention the archives can be downloaded at your web site
because your product ads would be there anyway. Or you
could have them give away the free e-book in their e-zine
because your ads would be in it.
35. Participate On The E-zine Publisher's Web Site
Many e-zine publishers have things like message boards,
guest books, “free stuff” directories, content directories, etc.
The e-zine publisher is already advertising his web site in
every issue of the e-zine. So you could try a free way of
getting your link on their web site. Messages boards usually
allow a link or signature file (ad) at the end of your
messages. Directory submissions also usually allow a link
(ad) back to your web site. This method is a little more
indirect though. Consider if they have a high search engine
ranking too.
36. Co-Author A Free Autoresponder Course/E-book With
An E-zine Publisher
Write a free autoresponder course/e-book with an e-zine
publisher. You both would promote it. He or she would likely
promote it in their e-zine. You could both have your other
product ads inside of it.
37. Trade Signature Files With An E-zine Publisher
Offer to trade signature files with an e-zine publisher. On
every e-mail you send out, you'll include his or her signature
file/link underneath yours and vice versa. So when the ezine
publisher sends out the e-zine, your signature file/link
(ad) would be included in it.
38. Share A Web Site With An E-zine Publisher
You could ask an e-zine publisher to share a web site with
you. You both will be marketing and advertising the same
web site, which means double the traffic. Of course you
want to do this with a business that has the same target
audience and isn't in direct competition. You could do the
deal with one or more e-zine publishers. When they send
out their e-zines, you'll get a free ad because they will be
promoting the shared web site.
39. Combine E-zines And Publish Just One
You could ask an e-zine publisher to combine his and your
e-zines together. Edit and publish each issue together. You
both will be marketing and advertising the same e-zine,
which means double the subscribers. Of course you want to
do this with a business that has the same target audience
and isn't in direct competition. When the e-zine is sent out,
you'll each get an ad(s) in the combined e-zine.
40. Create A Package Deal
You could ask a webmaster/e-zine publisher to combine his
or her product or service with your product or service in a
package deal. This gives people more reasons to buy both
your products and services. People also have come to
believe package deals are better value. You want all the
products or services to be closely related.
41. Donate A Percentage Of Your Profits To Charity
You could ask a webmaster/e-zine publisher to run your ad
at no-cost and, in exchange, say you'll donate a percentage
of the profit made from the ad to a charity of his or her
choice. Of course you’ll need a way to track the sales from
the ad for as long as it runs.
42. Start An E-zine Ad Co-Op
You allow other e-zines that sign up to the co-op program to
participate. You would require each e-zine to run the other ezines
or product ads in the co-op once or more times over a
certain period of time. Then you repeat it all over again after
the time period is over. You can spread the ads over a
month or two so the e-zines don't get hammered with a ton
of ads to run. Of course you'll have your ad in the co-op too,
as well as in the other e-zines. You could also require every
e-zine in the co-op to advertise the co-op in every issue of
their e-zine which, of course, would be linked somehow to
your main web site.
43. Write A Testimonial For A Online Freebie
Write a testimonial for an online freebie. Tell the business
they have permission to publish it on their web site. You
could write about how much you enjoy it and how the freebie
has improved your life. Include your signature file (ad) at the
end of the testimonial. You should first ask the freebie owner
if they would publish your testimonial if you are going to take
the time to write it.
44. Start An E-zine Ad Swap List/Web Site
You simply start an e-mail list or web site where people can
submit their e-zine ad swap requests and all the subscribers
will see them. Everyone who subscribes will want to do ad
swaps. You, of course, can submit your ad swap request to
get free ads. Plus, since you'll own it, you'll get first choice
on the ad swap requests. You should receive all the swap
requests to approve them before publishing.
45. Start A Web Site Link Exchange/Swap List
You simply start an e-mail list or web site exchange where
people can submit their link swap requests and all the
subscribers will see them. Everyone who subscribes will
want to do link swaps. You, of course, can submit your link
swap request to get free ads. Plus, since you'll own it, you'll
get first choice on the link swap requests. You can receive
all the swap requests to approve them before publishing.
46. Start A Joint Venture Message Boards
You simply add a message board to your web site
specifically for people to post and read joint venture offers.
You would be the likely moderator so you would get first dibs
on the joint venture offers. You could have categories like
link exchanges, product endorsements, product bartering,
etc.
47. Star An E-zine Ring
Form an e-zine ring (similar to a web ring). Team up with 4
to 10 similar e-zines. All the publishers would agree to list
each other’s e-zine name, web site and subscribing
information in every issue. You could call this section "Other
Free E-zines You Might Enjoy."
48. Star A Web Site Ring
Form a web site ring. All the participating webmasters would
agree to list each other’s web site name, web site link and
other information on their own web site. You could call this
section "Other Web Sites You Might Enjoy."
49. Submit E-zine Games To E-zine Publishers
Everyone and his brother submits articles to e-zines to get a
free ad (which is the resource box at the end of the article).
Have you ever looked in newspapers and magazines? There
is more content than just articles. There are word games,
crosswords, word searches, word scrambles, matching
words with definitions, etc. You could create and submit
word games related to the theme of the e-zine. You first
want ask the e-zine publisher if he or she would be
interested in receiving word game submissions for their ezine.
If your target audience reads business e-zines, create
word games that have business-related words and themes.
Include your resource box (ad) below the word game. You
could even host them on your web site and just have your
link and word game ad in the e-zine.
50. Submit Or Host Surveys/Polls Results To E-zine
Publishers
There is more content than just articles. There are surveys
and polls! You could host the poll/survey ahead of time,
submit it and the results, or host it in the e-zine and allow
the subscribers to take it. The e-zine could publish the
results in the next issue. You first want to ask the e-zine
owner if he or she would be interested in receiving polls or
survey submissions for their e-zine or web site. If your target
audience reads business e-zines, create surveys and polls
base on business issues. Just include your resource box
(ad) below the word game. You could even host them on
your web site and just have your link in their e-zine.
51. Publish E-zines For Other Web Sites
You could offer to publish e-zines for high traffic web sites
that don't have one yet, in exchange for running one or more
of your ads in them. You would want to look for popular or
high search engine ranking web sites. Of course the web
site would advertise it which would help build up a big
subscriber list quickly. You could also ask them to run one
of your product ads on their web site.
52. Free Consulting For An Ezine Ad
Offer an e-zine publisher subscribers free consulting. You
could have a regular ongoing column where you answer
their subscribers’ questions related to the subject of the ezine.
It's like a question/answer section. You don't even
have to be a total expert; you could always contact and ask
other experts for the answers if you don't know them.
53. Compile Each Issue Into An E-book Format
You could offer to compile each one of an e-zine publisher's
issues into e-book format, like PDF, to make it more
attractive. Then, in exchange, they could publish one of your
ads. You could add more color, content and graphics to it.
This would give their subscribers an extra way to view each
issue and expanded content. The e-zine publisher could also
allow his subscribers to give it away free like a normal free
e-book.
54. Compile A Web Site Into An E-book Format
You could offer to compile a webmaster’s site into e-book
format, like PDF, to make it more attractive. Then, in
exchange, they could publish one of your ads. You could
add more color, content and graphics to it. This would give
their visitors an extra way to view their web site and
expanded content. The web master could also allow his
subscribers to give it away free like a normal free e-book.
55. Compile Each Issue In An Online Audio Format
You could offer to compile each one of an e-zine publisher's
issues into audio format. Then, in exchange, they could
publish one of your ads. It would allow their subscribers the
option of listening to it instead of reading it.
56. Give An E-zine Publisher Free Reprint/Resale Rights
You could give e-zine publishers an e-book that they could
sell and keep all the profits in exchange for an ongoing ad in
their e-zine. When they stop selling it, they can stop running
your e-zine ad. Perhaps do it for a small number of e-zine
publishers at a time, so it doesn't get saturated and they
start turning your deal down. If they only want to run your ad
once, you could always include some of your ads in the ebook.
57. Host A Contest For An E-zine Publisher
Offer to hold a contest for an e-zine publisher's subscribers.
You could offer your product for free to one subscriber in
every issue. The subscribers would have to check their
individual issue to see if they are a winner. This would help
the e-zine publisher's readership and help him or her sell
more ads. You could ask the e-zine publisher for an ongoing
ad for as long as the contest runs in exchange for your
