Default How Do People Make The Big Bucks

Hello,

I am making a full-time living online and I am doing well. But when I look around I see other people making a six figure income online.

I have a fair-sized opt-in list, a newsletter that subscribers enjoy, and I have many products that I have created that sell fairly well.

I get lots of compliments on my products and articles--but I would like to escalate things even more.

I'm not sure how to move to the next level. If anybody has some tips, I hope you will share them.

Best,

Saleem Rana

But if you're not involved and Doing...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_releases

And of course using Google Adwords focusing on low cost related Keyword phrases...

With well presented Landing Pages..

Since you mentioned that you're making a full-time living online and doing well, you're probably following a particular business success model or internet marketer(s)/Guru.

Which along with your compliments and testimonials, should Help take you to the next level...

Hopefully some of this helps...

Hi Phil,

Yes, it's the articles that really created the website. Since I am a writer, I have always enjoyed writing tasks. When I first started, I didn't have more than a one page website, which was more of personal website. Gradually, as my articles became more popular, it created an interest in my books, and the website then expanded over time.

The model I use is really very simple: a branding website, a capture page, an ezine, and writing my own books.

Your posting really helped me see that what I need to do is to be less of a lone wolf and to connect with more people and do more things with them. I really appreciate your pointing me in the right direction.

Now, of course, I have to figure out how to JV, write press releases, and get some publicity. But at least, I have a sense of direction.

Best wishes,

Saleem Rana

Saleem,

Since you have good experience with Article marketing...

Consider Focusing on Publicity which can take you in many positive directions...

I'm including more excellent resources to help you Learn all about Publicity!

Some general opinions are fine...

But, my personal opinion is to always research and search out some of the Best Experts on particular topics of interest that Specialize and "Study" what they're Doing.

Besides the Landing Page resources I mentioned...

For some of the Best Copywriting and Sales page information, spend some time with Michel Fortin and company.

Publicity... Press releases etc. etc....

Hi Phil,

Many thanks for the resources.

Looks like I have my home work cut out for me.

I followed your earlier suggestion and I am having two JVs getting set up with two well-known marketers. It may take a few months before the results are in, but at least I'm in the game now.

Best wishes,

Saleem

Default Re: Request review of my landing pages

Hi Phil,

I really liked your reviews on landing pages. I revised my landing page after I read it.

I hope you and other members can take a peek at it and let me know if it is now set to convert well.

If there is something I can do to improve it, your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Here is the url: http://theempoweredsoul.com/enter.html

Best wishes,

Saleem Rana

P.S. I was not sure whether I should add my picture to the page as well, or will it look too crowded? I already have it on my home page and my about us page. Does a picture on a landing page improve conversion much?

Hi Bob,

Did you respond to the confirmation email to your inbox? It is a double opt-in process.

If you've tried everything and it still doesn't work, then just write me with the email address you want submitted and I will do it manually. You will then start getting the newsletters and the stuff promised on the form.

Best wishes,

Saleem
