Want to attract more buyers and increase your sales?

I’m going to let you in on three simple secrets that are not only essential to your business survival but could make this year and the next few your most profitable ever. Too good to be true? Not at all.

1. There Is Only One Sure Way To Sell More

While it’s easy to get distracted by all the bad news, the truth is you can still grow your business in this economy. But to make more you need to focus on what’s working instead of what’s not, where the money is, where sales continue to grow and grab your slice.

It’s true many businesses are continuing to downsize or even close their doors, yet despite the overall stagnation, the authoritative Forrester Research projects that online sales will to continue to grow 11% in 2010. The same thing happened last year. Many businesses suffered while a few saw their online profits soar.

In other words, if you did an average job of selling online last year and this, your sales would be up by 11% each year or 23% in the last two years. Of course, if you really knew the secrets to online selling, you’d have experienced a nice bump in sales of 44-82% or much more…

One of my colleagues, who has mastered online selling, increased his already robust sales by a healthy 522% over the last two years.

Here’s the online system he used — and my staff now uses — to grow our online sales.

How much more could you be making if your online marketing worked?

Last year online sales totaled over $155 billion and the even better news is the party is still getting started. Forrester Research predicts a continued online sales growth rate of 10% a year, at least through 2014 when online spending will be around $249 billion.

The simple fact is that people are looking for your products and services online, and if they’re not buying from you they’re buying from your competitors. They’re spending billions online each year. To make sure you get your fair share – use this proven system.

2. Only A Few Website Owners Will Make All The Profits

Every small business owner who has tried to sell online knows that just having a website doesn’t mean you’re making money from it. In fact, most websites barely break even. The majority of online profits this year will be made by a handful of smart business owners. Want to be one of them?

Does your business have a website? Are you frustrated with its performance? Wish it were bringing in more sales?

Thanks to Internet marketing expert Charlie Cook, there’s an easy way to transform your underperforming website into a profit machine. Charlie is the colleague I mentioned above. He’s the only person whose advice has consistently helped us grow our online sales.

Want to turn your website into a money-making machine?

3. To Make Money, You Need To Know The Rules

All too often people tell me that they have a website and it’s barely bringing in a dime, much less adding the next $15,000 or $200,000 in profits each month. Yet there is this much profit potential in many websites.

Very few sites are set up correctly to attract visitors or close sales. Most sites don’t follow a few simple money-making rules, and as a result their owners are forever frustrated.

In early 2007, my staff discovered Charlie’s system, The Insider Secrets to Creating Web Sites That Sell, and used it to grow our business.

Charlie has just released the newest version of this online wealth-building system and is offering Brian Tracy subscribers an exclusive, risk-free 30-day test-drive for only $2.95.

Find out how much more you could be making online>>

Finally, you can discover how to increase your website profits. But only if you take advantage of this special offer today and are one of the first 150 people to claim this proven online money-making system.

Are you spending your limited time and money on advertising, networking, making calls, mailings, meeting with prospects, yet only achieving middling results this year?

Marketing a business is like any game. If you know the rules you are much more likely to win.

Think about it. Do you play bridge, golf, tennis or go bowling. How would you do if you didn’t understand the rules. You’d spend a lot of effort but you’d wouldn’t get the results you wanted.

And the same is true for your business!

The problem isn’t that you don’t know your business or provide high quality products and services, it’s that in the past few years the rules have changed. The old ways that used to work to attract new clients and to bring in record profits – don’t work anymore, particular in this tough economy.

No matter how smart you are, the current economy has made it harder to attract new clients, much less keep the ones you had. It’s like trying to hit a home run in baseball and discovering that the pitcher doesn’t have to throw the ball over home plate.

Swing the same way you used to and you’ll rarely score.

So what’s the solution? What works to attract clients and close more sales in this economy?

For the last six months, I’ve been quietly putting together a ground breaking report to give you a huge competitive advantage. I’ve been documenting what works in this economy to attract clients and profits.

I’ve worked harder on it than any other report, course or marketing system I’ve ever assembled to provide you with the focus you need to succeed this year and next.
It’s cost me over ten thousand dollars to produce and I could easily charge hundreds of dollars for it, but I’ve decided to give it to you for…

FREE.

Why would I do that?

The ideas in the report are downright controversial. They are going to shake up a lot of peoples’ thinking about their business and how to make a profit. And I want you to try them and to get your feedback on them.

Ready to download it?

Me too! But it’s still in the final stages of design production and won’t be ready for one week, if all goes well. So, keep an eye out and don’t forget to check your email next Tuesday and make sure to download it for free, before it gets taken down.

- Charlie

P.S. I’ll be revealing the 7, make that 8 rules to profiting in this economy. Make sure you read each one, or risk getting left in the dust by your competitors.

P.P.S. This past week we loaded over a dozen new marketing resources into the Insiders’ Club, including the most important of the New Rules I’ll be revealing. If you’re already a member you can get a sneak peek.

Here’s the link >>

Over the last ten years every time a client asked for a sample email, sample article, sample proposal, squeeze page, or any of a thousand different resources of mine, I’ve had to dig through my files and send it.

What a pain…

For the last few years I’ve know there was a better way and it involved loading every resource and tutorial online to make it easy for my clients to access. Getting this member site built has taken more work and effort than I ever imagined. But its finally ready for Insiders’ Club members to use.

Yes, Insiders’ Club members now get full access to my treasure trove of marketing answers, samples, tutorials, and interviews at no additional cost. Consider it an early Christmas present.

Look inside.

You’ll find instant access to all the interviews and tutorials that Insiders’ Club members have been getting and much, much more. And in the next month we’re going to triple the content to give you even more answers so you can make 2010 your best year ever.

If you’re already a member of my Insiders’ Club or one of Mastermind Groups, you’ll be receiving an email with login information today. Just follow the directions and you’ll have instant access.

If for some insane reason you’re not a member you can get in at 20% before the price goes up on December 26^th.

Over 20 years ago, I rented an office in downtown Old Greenwich, Connecticut, across the street from the best sandwich shop in town. The first time I went into the shop, I noticed that the menu was a copy of an original created on a typewriter.

The thing was barely legible and made worse by scratched out prices with new ones scribbled in. The menus hardly reflected the quality of owner Gary’s creative and delicious sandwiches.

The proud owner of a new computer and state of the art laser printer, I took one of his menus back to my office, reformatted it in an easy to read typeface, and printed a stack of them. The next day when I went to order my sandwich, I offered Gary the professional-looking menus as a present.

Gary was so pleased that he made my sandwiches free for two weeks and gives me a $2 discount on every sandwich I buy to this day.

Discover how you can profit from the law of reciprocity marketing strategies >>

My friend John used the same basic law of human behavior to get help.

Ten years ago John bought a 28’ Corsair sailboat, a larger version of the 24’ trimaran that I sail. With limited experience with large sailboats, launching this boat in the spring and hauling it out of the water in the fall was beyond what John could manage on his own.

So John asked if he could help me launch my boat and if I’d help him in return, and we’d get both boats taken care of the same day.

For the last ten years, at the beginning and end of the summer, we’ve helped each other launch and haul our boats. It’s a fair amount of work, but by now we’ve got it down to a science and we enjoy each other’s company and the reciprocity.

I’m sure you use the “law” of reciprocity in your life; now put it to work in your marketing strategies.

Find out the marketing strategies to make more without selling >>

Six Marketing Strategies To Make More Money
It’s simple; when a person does something for you that you value, you feel an obligation to that person. You’d like to repay the good deed.

How can you use this basic — and surprisingly powerful — fact of human behavior to grow your small business and make more money?

You can use it to:

1. Generate leads
Give away a free report or mp3 that has value to your prospects, and they’ll return the favor by giving you their contact information. Then you can start building a relationship with them. Almost every successful Internet marketer uses this marketing strategy, and it works for marketing offline, too.

Want more ideas on generating leads? >>

2. Sign up new clients
I know many consultants who regularly speak for local chambers of commerce or for industry association gatherings. They share their best ideas and, in return, walk away from each talk with a handful of new clients.

Other successful firms attract prospects with free seminars. For example, if you’re an investment advisor you could offer a seminar on wisely managing investments during a recession. One local financial firm used this marketing strategy and added $40 million in new assets within six months — without making a single sales call.

Sign up more clients >>

3.  Sell more products
I recently offered a free teleseminar on copywriting to my entire mailing list. It took me almost a week to put it together and cost me hundreds of dollars, but I it was well worthwhile.

The comments I got from people who participated were very positive. They loved the content and expressed their interest in large numbers by taking advantage of the one-time trial offer associated with the call.

If you want people to buy from you, start the process by giving them something of value.

Interested in selling more?

4. Build your membership program
Getting people to make a commitment to pay a monthly fee for a year or more is a huge marketing challenge. The easiest way to overcome this is to give prospects the first month or two for free. Then give them relevant and useful content, and they’ll stay in and keep paying.

It’s a simple marketing strategy that most magazine publishers use, because it works!

5. Get more readers for your blog and your tweets
Want more people to read your blog? To get other bloggers to link to your blog, provide a link to theirs on your site. Then contact them and they’ll be much more likely to return the favor.

The same is true with Twitter. If you want more followers, sign up to follow the people you want following you. At least 70% will return the favor and start following your tweets.

6. Get a bigger tip
(I know most of you aren’t working as a waiter or waitress but I just wanted to include this one to show you the power of the law of reciprocity.)

Waitress and waiters increase their tips in two ways in addition to being there when you need them. One tactic is to include a mint or small candy with your check when they bring it at the end of the meal. Research shows that patrons leave 25 to 30% larger tips when candy is included with the check.

Another marketing strategy used in the restaurant industry is to share a “secret”. When you’re ordering, the waitress may whisper to you that the pork dish you wanted isn’t one she would suggest, and then she gives you a couple of personal recommendations.

When the check arrives, patrons who were given the “secret” recommendation leave larger tips.

Discover the most cost-effective marketing strategies to increase profits >>

There are hundreds of ways to use the “law of reciprocity” to persuade prospects to contact you, to buy from and to spend more with you. Use them and see your profits grow.

- Charlie

P.S. If you’re tired of trying to ramp up your profits with selling, try giving away value. Give your prospects something they want and can use right away. In return you’ll get more business than you ever imagined and feel good about it all the way to the bank.

I know it’s Sunday and I don’t often email you on Sunday’s but there are two important things I wanted you to know about this week. The first is about my one-on-one mentoring program and the other is a list of four search engine tips, which you’ll find below.

One-On-One Mentoring for Higher Profits
I had to close my marketing mentoring program last August because I was completely booked but that has changed for the moment. One client, Mary Ellen and Ed in Southern California, are now bringing in so much new business they are taking a break to hire on new staff. And my new book is out of my hands. It’s in its final edit, giving me more time to devote to helping you.

As of today I’m accepting applications for two openings for one-on-one mentoring.

That’s right, I’ve only got two openings for my one-on-one, hold your hand and show you how to get it right marketing mentoring program. And these two spots may be gone in the next couple of days if you wait. If you’re interested please fill in the form at:
http://www.marketingforsuccess.com/mentoring.html

But before you apply realize you may not qualify. I’m only looking for ambitious business owners, people who can show me a track record of success and people who are doers not talkers. People like Kris >>

I can show you what works and help you double or triple your business but be aware that I expect you to take charge and implement the proven ideas I’ll be walking you through. If you do you can easily add $10,000 to $100,000 a month to your income, depending on your business.

Interested? Use the form at the bottom of the page to apply >>

4 SEO Tips You Should Know
Currently my primary content site gets an average of over 40,000 visitors each month and my store site gets over 17,000 each month for a total of more than 684,000 visits a year. And this traffic keeps growing each year thanks to a few simple SEO strategies.

1. In order to get a top ranking in the search engines find out how your current website scores. HubSpot’s Website Grader does a pretty good job for a look at the on-page aspects. Once you know what to fix you can you’re your site move up in the rankings to get more traffic and sales.
>> http://website.grader.com

2. Boost your page rank by getting more sites to link to yours. To find out how many incoming links you’ve got now you can use Link Popularity >> http://www.linkpopularity.com/

3. Create your XML sitemap. In case you haven’t done this already, you should use Google’s Webmaster Tools – http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools to create a site map so Google knows what pages are on your site.

4. Add more relevant content to attract your target market and the search engines. Why do you think I added the sections on my site about video marketing, radio marketing and marketing slogans? Because they attract my target audience and keep people on the site. Find relevant resources to add to your site to do the same and your search engine ranking will improve.

Gotta go. My wife has this idea that I’m supposed to be working on her honey-do list on Sundays.

- Charlie

P.S. If you’re ready to grow your business this year, get more leads, more interest, get people calling or increase sales with your web site, I’ve got just 2 openings in my mentoring program. Once these fill up the program will be closed and space may not be available for 6-12 months.

PS: “So Charlie, what’s the price already?” With a value of thousands of dollars a month, what will this actually cost you? $297 a month? $197? Or will it be as low as only $97 a month? Use This Link To Find Out!

P.P.S. Have you ever really wanted something so badly you could almost taste it, and then missed out because you simply waited too long? Remember just how disappointed and frustrated you were, thinking the whole time, “I can’t believe I missed that!”

When I was nine, my dad’s company got hold of some Boston Red Sox tickets they were going to give away to their employees. Boy, did I love them, watching them on TV as often as I could. That day, my dad said “Son, you and I are going to a Red Sox game.” I had never seen a “real” professional baseball game before and was so excited I couldn’t sleep a wink that night.

Anyway, he worked for a small company in Maine with about 40 employees.  And they only had 20 tickets to give away, first come – first serve. My dad figured since many of the other workers were women, and didn’t really like baseball anyway, he would wait ’till the next day and get the tickets at the bus, assuming there would be plenty left for us.

The next morning, we ate a good breakfast, packed the cooler, and got our Red Sox hat and shirts on, anticipating a great day. After all, it was my first trip to Boston to see a real ballgame. We even got to the bus two hours early… But there was a problem.  The bus was already filled to capacity and the tickets were all gone!

It was very quiet as we drove back home in utter disbelief.

Come to find out, the women he didn’t think were interested in going immediately called their husbands and their friends to come down and pick up tickets right then, not the next morning. You can only imagine the disappointment of a 9 year-old, and my Dad, well… he has never forgiven himself to this day.

Contrary to the popular saying, especially in marketing your business – Good things DON’T always come to those who wait! Don’t be like my dad and wait till it’s too late.  Believe me, you will never forgive yourself, he didn’t!

I often get questions about whether I have an affiliate program or associate program people can use to make money marketing my small business marketing ideas and tools. The answer of course is yes, I do have one though to be honest, I haven’t promoted it much because it didn’t have all the supporting materials I wanted it to have.

That’s changed. Over the last couple of months I’ve built a site for my affiliates to use that provides every tool you can think of to make it dirt simple to promote and market the best selling marketing books and training tools on my site. I’ve included ads, articles, sample emails, etc
