Today, Saturday, December 6, Planning Ahead

The three major areas Marci covered in planning ahead were:

1 – Hosting. Whatever hosting provider you use, make sure that you can upgrade your account should the need arise. There’s nothing worse than running out of bandwidth or availability and having to get a new account before you can use your site again! This is especially important if you have your own membership site.

2. Your Funnel. Make sure your funnel follows a logical, step-by-step, easy to follow path. And make sure it flows from bonus to lower priced items to higher priced items.

3. Planning for investments in your business – including upgrades. Budget vs. Balance.

Today, Saturday, November 29, Put It Back in Your Business

If you’re making commissions and/or sales then you should be investing it into your business. Before you decide on what new clothes or toys to buy, you should be thinking of growing your business — Or, at least, maintaining the status quo.

Putting it back into your business isn’t just about commissions and sales though. It’s also about your time, education, and resources. Whatever you’ve earned in those can be put back into it.

You didn’t start your buiness with all the knowledge and resources that you have now. And some of your resources (tools) should be saving you time that you can reinvest into other activities or resources to increase your profits.

When, where, how, what and why do you do that? Come have a listen and see what you’re missin’ …

Today, Saturday, November 22, Advanced Tracking

I asked Marci what she considered the main points of today’s seminar. Here they are:

1. Give yourself as many clues as possible. Follow the breadcrumbs back. Use longer keywords for your tracking links if necessary, so you can read your tracking quickly.

2. Check the tracking and make sure that it’s not conflicitng with your affiliate tracking/cookies — don’t give your referrals/sales to someone else.

3. Before you spend your money view your results. And before you join a new resource, whether it be a mailer, safelist, or exchange, get a second opinion from a trusted source. See what kind of results they are getting.

4. Use goal tracking in the VVP banner section if you own your own site. (I coached this one into the list.)

Today, Saturday, November 15, Tracking 101

Marci went over some of the basics you need to know to keep track of your business. She talked about some of the common dos and don’ts of tracking. Also what you should do to make sure your tracker isn’t conflicting with your chosen site’s affiliate URL.

She also went over the tracking options in VitalViralPro and a major idiosyncracy it has due to some of the referral URLs from some sites. (Including the workaround for it.)

And, before the question and answer period, she also covered Keeping Track. Tracking is great. However, if you don’t keep track of it, it’s not going to give you the results you’re looking for!

Today, Saturday, November 8, Evaluate and Review

Working online? our own site or affiliate business? Who’s your boss and when is the last time that your boss gave you a performance review? An evaluation of your results?

I’d guess that you are your boss. Right? So when IS the last time that you reviewed your performance? How productive have you been? How productive are you right now? How much time are you spending on skype, reading emails, reading and posting in FaceBook or LinkedIn or Twitter? Are you being productive while you are there?

How well are you using the tools that help you make your income? Do you have all the tools you need to be as productive as you need to reach your goals?

Lots of questions, huh? Want some answers? Or help with the answers?

Come and get ’em…

Today, Saturday, November 1, Who Needs a Budget?

When you were young and got your first checkbook, you learned that you could only spend what you had in your account. And when that was gone, well, you had nothing left for the rest of the month. So then you had to be responsible and disciplined to make it last the whole month each month. And any other scheduled expenses. That was your first journey into budgeting.

And it lasts your whole life. Everyone has budgets. Some may not have to worry too much about theirs, but everyone basically has a budget.

Here on the internet, your PayPal (or whatever payment processor you use) is your “checking account”. To build your business successfully, you must manage it just like you would your personal offline checking account.

Marci went over some of the pitfalls of online budgeting. Also some personal experiences of hers that we all seem to go through as we financially mature with our businesses – Affiliates or site owners.

Come listen and get all the details…

Today, Saturday, October 25th, Paying Attention Pays Off

Here in the Internet Marketing world, the devil isn’t in the details, the devil is ignoring the details! Each of us is running their own business. And skipping the details in your business is definitely the road to disaster!

From advertising to networking to budgeting, the details make you more successful. Nobody wants to lose signups, commissions, or sales because they made a typo in the URL they’re promoting. Or to banners that don’t show the image. Or wording their ads to attract unresponsive subscribers. Or wasting their budget on traffic that doesn’t work or is ineffective.

There are so many ways that you can slow your business. Or destroy it. However, just paying a little more attention to the details is all it could take to keep it on track and growing it tremendously!

Come listen and get all the details…

Today, Saturday, October 4th, Evergreen Products and You

Evergreen… No, not a pine tree! “Evergreen” products and services are ones that can be used year ’round, year after year, by virtually anyone in the I.M. Community.

So what kind of products and services are Evergreen? One of the biggest is TRAFFIC. Everyone needs traffic. Whether it’s traffic exchanges, mailers and mailing services, or any other form of getting viewers to your chosen opportunity, product, or service.

Other Evergreen products and services include autoresponders, tracking, domain registering, splash and squeeze page (webpage) making services, and hosting. Everyone might not choose all of them but anyone can to extend the scope of their business. Be it affiliate or site owner.
