The Money Is In The List

"The Money Is In The List"
by: Joel Broughton


This phrase has been prominently quoted and repeated by every single successful Internet Marketer in the world. And it's really true.

If you're not builng your Prospect/Customer List, then you're building someone else's list. I want you to realize this fact. First and foremost, to be successful in a business of any kind you need to have a customer or prospect list that you can communicate with.

The Elite Marketing Center System (EMC) is designed to help you build your list, develop a relationship with that list and then market your products and services to that list automatically through an Autoresponder.

Every single successful business in the world has a customer list or customer base that they draw from to gain repeat sales and repeat business. Retail business owners will all tell you that one of the most important factors in their success is their LOCATION. Why is that? Well, it's because if they have a "high traffic" location, then potential customers will decide to come to their store because it's close to where they live or work or shop. And this results in repeat business due to location.

Now what does that have to do with Internet Marketing? Everything!

You see, the Internet is an electronic communication media that is so vast that an actual "location" on the internet will not make a huge difference in the success of your business. However, Where Does Every Single Internet User "Travel To" On a Daily Basis?

Their Personal Email Inbox.

This is our "Location" in an Internet Business. So if you are regularly appearing in their Personal Email Inbox with information, help, support, and sales offers that interest them, then they are most likely to take you up on your offer.

Thus, the Bigger We Build Our List.
= The Better Our Online Location.
= The More Success We Will Have Online.

Remember, the BEST LOCATION to be on the Internet is in your Prospects Email Inbox.

This should all be starting to make sense to you now.
To be successful on the Internet (and in any business) your business needs to be constantly exposed to your potential customers. We are going to accomplish the constant exposure to your prospects through automatic emails being sent to them from our Autoresponder (which is our automatic email system that will deliver pre-written emails to your prospects for you).

To be successful as an Internet Marketer (or Network Marketer) you need to:

== > Build A List
== > Build a Relationship and Market To Your List
== > Cash Your Checks

We will accomplish the above with your Elite Marketing Center System by using a fully automated, Autoresponder system that comes with your very own pre-written email autoresponder campaign that automatically follows-up with your EMC members and prospects for you for 365 days on auto-pilot.

And you will also have 24/7 access to your list, in case you choose to personally communicate anything you want to your prospect list; such as new training, marketing tips, or an offer of a product or service...you decide how often and what you will communicate to your list.

REMEMBER: EMC is a FRANCHISE. Everything is already pre-written and set-up for you. You do not have to personally write or communicate with your members if you choose not to, the Autoresponder will already do that for you. Your Autoresponder Is The Most Important Tool In Your Internet Marketing Business. Here's why: The majority of the people who visit your website will not "buy or enroll" on their first visit. In fact, most people do not buy a product on the Internet until they've seen it or heard about it at least 7 times. Think about this yourself... How many times did you hear about the Elite Marketing Center before you actually signed up? If it's any less than 7 times, you're a little unusual. ;-)

Actually, the Elite Marketing Center sales page is so effective, that many people do actually enroll on their 1st or 2nd visit. But the point is, most people need multiple exposures to a product or service before they buy it.

With Elite Marketing Center, many people will enroll on their first exposure, but won't actually understand the system or how it can help their business, until after they've received a few email communications from your autoresponder.

If you go out and spend a bunch of time and money promoting a product on the Internet and you don't have an effective way to capture and follow-up with your website visitors to remind them about the products or services that you are promoting, you will lose a lot of sales.
For example, let's say you get 100 visitors to your EMC sales page and out of those 100 new visitors, 2 people sign up the same day. Well, you might be happy with that, but I'm not... If you're going to send 100 people to your EMC sales page, I want you to get the most signups possible... at least 10.

But 10 out of 100 people are not going to sign up on their first visit unless these are people you personally know who already trust your recommendations. However, if your EMC sales page captures 100 subscribers after you send 100 visitors to it and you are using the autoresponder, you have a very good chance of automatically converting 10 or more of those 100 subscribers to EMC customers in the future through your automated follow-up autoresponder/newsletter series.

Remember, whenever someone visits your EMC website and signs up for the FREE course, they will be automatically followed up with for over a year. And all of those follow-up messages are working on your behalf to provide value, build trust and ultimately lead your subscriber to buy one of your affiliate products and/or sign up for the EMC service under YOU.

Because your EMC page works to capture your visitor's name and email address in the process of introducing them to the Elite Marketing Center system, sending visitors to your EMC website will automatically build your subscriber list in autoresponder which gives each of your visitors a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc... exposure to your recommended products and opportunities. This additional exposure through your automatic email follow-up series gently reminds your visitors about your site and gives them the opportunity to sign up when the time is right for them.

See, people don't say no to you. People usually only say no to an opportunity if the timing is not right for them. By capturing subscribers on your website and following up with them via your Autoresponder, you will still be there when the timing IS right for them. And you won't have to lift a finger to do this. It's all 100% automated and handled for you 24/7/365! That's the beauty of the Internet...You never have to *personally* experience rejection! The system does all the sorting, qualifying and selling for you — automatically!! ;-) So, optimizing your Autoresponder is very, very important since your Autoresponder is your tireless, auto-pilot salesman working for you every moment of the day to follow-up with your website visitors, build trust, handle objections and ultimately make the sale for YOU.

Even if you hired someone and only paid them $10 per hour to do everything that your Autoresponder will be doing for you, you'd have to spend thousands of dollars per month. But, you don't have to pay thousands of dollars a month for an employee because you are smart and you are building an Internet business where 99% of the grunt work can be automated through powerful technologies like your Autoresponder. I want you to make a long-term commitment to yourself, your Internet Success, and EMC

How To Increase The Response Rate To Online Advertising

October 10, 2008 By Kenneth Koh

Nowadays, it is getting harder to get high response rate to online advertising. I am not scaring you but merely stating the fact, from experience.
In the past, a simple squeeze page consisting of a headline, some tips and an opt-in form can easily get an opt-in conversion of 10%. But now, the conversion of such a squeeze page is hardly 5%!
I am utterly surprised that some professionally designed squeeze pages are getting the response rate that I expected.
Is online advertising dead?
I don’t think so. I’m still seeing advertisements with good response rate.
After studying some of the online advertising sales letters with good response rate, I realized that the fundamentals of online advertising has not changed.
The only problem is that the days of short opt-in squeeze pages are gone. Prospects are getting immune to the idea of opting in. Nice graphic and squeeze page design can no longer impress the prospects.
Things have pretty much gone back to the basic.
What is the basic?
A simple and decent sales letter showing your photograph and using the 3 ‘F’s and 1 P strategy to promote your offer.
What are the 3 ‘F’s and 1 ‘P’?
3 ‘F’s stands for Feel, Felt, Found and 1 ‘P’ stands for Proof.
A ‘back-to-the-basic’ sales letter essentially conveys the idea that “… I understand how you FEEL…. I was in your position before and I FELT this way too…… but I finally FOUND something that works …… Here are all the PROOFs that I have….”
The idea is trust, which is the fundamental of success in online advertising.
To increase the response rate to online advertising, you ought to make your prospects feel that you empathize with them, have gone through what they went through and that you are the best person whom they can trust because you are real.
One last secret that will increase the response rate to your online advertising is…… Keep advertising!
I hope you are not thinking that I am trying to hoax you into spending more in advertising.
Have you heard of the famous saying “it takes seven contacts to make a sale”?
Let me tell you a secret. Experienced marketers keep posting the same advertisement to the same group of prospects and eventually see more and more people accepting their offers after seeing their advertisements repeatedly.
Sad to say, this secret is stopping many newbies from experiencing online advertising success. Most newbies post an ad and quit for not getting the expected result. And they never try again.
I know you don’t like the idea, but it is how things work. Repeated exposure to your advertisement will build people’s trust in you. If you want to increase the response rate to online advertising, you have to keep advertising.

Avoid Legit Online Jobs Scam

Avoid Legit Online Jobs Scam

September 19, 2008 By Kenneth Koh
Have you come across a website called Legit Online Jobs? It is a scam or it’s for real?
Before I continue, I need to tell you that this is not a review site trying to lure you into reading this page and then convince you to buy Legit Online Jobs. Let me be frank. I won’t buy this product if I were you. I’m just using this product for discussion purpose.
How to identify online scams?
In the past, it was pretty easy to identify scams. Scammers usually use beautiful stock photos for their testimonials. Their graphic editing skills are so poor that it is obvious that the earning proofs are doctored.
However, today’s scammers are smarter and they can produce fake testimonials and fake earnings like real!
The only way to decide whether a product is a scam is by studying its business model.
Below are some online business models typically used by scammers (or I should say opportunists).
1) Ponzi scheme
A Ponzi scheme usually takes money from you and promises that you will earn more later. The extra money paid to you usually comes from the subsequent members who join the scheme. This means new members are supporting old members.
For example, if a company promises that you will earn $500 every month and you only have to invest $10,000 one time, it’s obviously a scam.
Such a business model is not sustainable and the company will soon run out of cash. Yet, many people choose to believe in such a model.
Nowadays, there are many different forms of Ponzi scheme, from HYIP to paid autosurf programs.
Basically, when joining such programs, you have to ask yourself whether the business model is sustainable. If you can’t think of a logical reason why the business is sustainable, chances are it’s a scam.
2) Make money taking surveys
In this model, you buy an ebook that ask you to sign up many surveying companies. When you answer the surveys, you will make money.
This is not really a scam, unless the author uses fake earnings and fake testimonials. But it is definitely not the correct way to make serious income online.
3) Make money typing at home
In this model, you buy an ebook, in which you are given a list of companies and many sample ads. All you have to do is type the ads into Google Adwords campaigns and money will roll in.
Again, I can’t say that it’s a scam. But chances are you will lose money.
What you are doing is a form of affiliate marketing, where you advertise for companies and make a commission out of it. Affiliate marketing is definitely a legitimate online job but it is not as easy as typing a few sample ads and make money automatically.
4) Make money promoting the author’s ebook
In this model, you buy an ebook that teaches you how to promote that ebook. Usually, the author will include other information such as how to build and promote a website. But the main focus of the ebook is to promote the book itself.
A few years ago, there was a product called Ultimate Wealth Package. It uses such a business model and is now banned in Clickbank. Ultimate Wealth Package may be banned, but there are many other products with a similar model.
So Is Legit Online Jobs A Scam?
I need to be frank with you that I’ve seen my advertisers making money simply advertising this product, Legit Online Jobs. The salescopy is well written and there is no doubt that it’s pulling a lot of sales for its affiliates. Apart from that, I see some similarity between this product and the last 3 business models I’ve mentioned above.
I wouldn’t say it’s a scam. It is just another cleverly-crafted business to profit from desperate work-from-home seekers.

Another Day Another Blog

Another Day Another Blog
by: Joel Broughton

A lot of marketers seem so confused when it comes to building an online business. Why is there such confusion on a massive scale...internet marketing is really very easy IF you follow a step-by-step guide.

You see, most so-called "internet marketers" are amateurs trying to make a quick buck and are simply just trying to "Get you" or trying to make a quick sale so they can take their $50 commission and run. Happy to be on their way.

The problem with that mentality is that now a huge phenomenon has been created, whereby amateurs are passing themselves off as professionals, and teaching other amateurs what works and what doesn't...when in reality they don't know themselves, otherwise they wouldn't still be part-time amateur...they would be full-time professionals.

All the hype, all the guarantees, all the crap you might as well flush down the toilet, because most of it is barely worth the website that it's written on.

Forums nowadays have also gotten out of hand. Newbies go there looking for help, and get bombarded with answers and "secrets" and negativity about businesses that it's hard to get motivated to start their business. They become so overwhelmed and confused that it forces some into a complete stall and information overload.

But I guess a bright light will come from all of this technology and information. The strong builders and professionals will always rise above the rest giving good solid knowledge to the industry, despite the garbage been set up everywhere.

It's comforting to know that amateur internet marketers will always hide behind their computer because they know that if they physically speak to people they will be found out for what they are...and everyone will realize how little they really know.

This will continue to separate us from them. This will continue to show our integrity over those trying to make a quick buck by "tricking" people. And I will remain proud that we can provide quality systems, quality training, and a quality opportunity for those willing to learn, practice and apply our systems and techniques.

Failure Lane Leads to Success Road

Failure Lane leads to Success Road
by: Joel Broughton

It's funny, alot of people ask me how to get true success in their business and how to develop long term residual income. It's also funny that when you tell these people how to get there, they simply nod their head and then carry on with "business as usual"

The best advice that I can give to a new entrepreneur (online or offline) - is to get going as fast as you possibly can. Here's why:

In every business people make mistakes and are bound to fail. But a small mistake or small failure doesn't mean you should quit trying. If I had quit trying the first time I failed, I would never had created a system that has developed from 2 to over 14000 members in just 2 short months, and then to over 240,000 in less than 2 years.

Someone Famous once said "You learn more from Failure, than you do from Success"

....So guess what folks...I'm going to start failing like crazy...starting now. Because trying and failing means I'm that much closer to success. If I keep trying enough, I will eventually get it right.

Don't ever quit your Dreams and Goals. You will get there, you just have to fail some more first, so that you learn enough to become Successful.

Failure Lane leads to Success Road...

you just have to keep walking 'til you get there.

Still Amazed At Lack Of Duplication

Still Amazed at the Lack of Duplication
by: Joel Broughton

To this day I am still amazed at the lack of good internet marketing education and lack of duplication in our industry.

I can't quite figure out why successful internet marketers would not want to create leverage through teaching and duplicating their success in others. As I continue to watch their efforts, they continually...build a list...sell to list...build a list...sell to list. However the funny thing is what they keep selling are one-time sales. No recurring sales or profits...which forces them to continue doing so, day in and day out....with no real end in sight.

Now don't get me wrong. You can make alot of money online, once you've figured out how to properly build and maintain a list of subscribers. Regardless of what you plan to sell, you can get interested people to subscribe to your list and then buy what you're selling.

So why choose one-time sale type products? It's easier...faster...more profitable.

In my eyes, I would still prefer to build a business where we gather a base of customers that purchase products or services on a recurring basis, which creates a long-term wealth for you and your family. Especially if the customers love the products that you are marketing to a point where they will purchase that product or service with no other reason than how good it is and what is does for them.

And why not do both? If you are already successful in building lists, why not combine the power of list-building and referring to a product or service that includes recurring sales.

The Elite Marketing Center is our combination of just that. We teach people step-by-step methods to build their lists, then we teach them how to make recurring sales to their lists and finally include a product or service provided by a third party company to use as the main focus of their business, to create long-term wealth.

Build List - Create Immediate Cashflow - Build Long Term Wealth.

Make Sense?

It does to me.
