If You Invest Money on Advertising, then You could Save Thousands through this Simple Little Secret
A few years ago, I analysed the statistics of where one of my clients, M & M Pest Control in Sydney, generated all their leads from. As a result of this, Ray Milton, the director of the company said:“Scott measured the results we were getting from our advertising, and as a result, this confirmed my decision to eliminate over $42,000.00 in unnecessary expenses – because it wasn’t paying it’s way”$42,000 is a lot of money… in anyone’s language!What did I do? I simply analysed his advertising expenses… and identified whether or not the ads were generating a strong yield for his investment.And I’m wil

This is the most important list and it is your very own personal contact list. This list, you should be constantly building, seeking ways to add more eager people to learn what you have to offer.

I am a huge believer in, you get the contact first, you get to keep the details of everyone you get interested in whatever program you are promoting.

It doesn't matter what program your are involved with, many of them say they give you an autoresponder and have the messages all ready to go out to your prospects. Sounds easy, then you go about promoting.

Well, this all sounds fine and dandy when you are new to marketing and learning, but think about it.

You do the work to get the prospect and with many programs you never get the prospects information, it stays with the owner of the program.

There was one program I had paid to be a member of and I entered my own details, not the email address I had with the program and according to the blurb, I should have gotten the details. I didn*t.

Guess what, everything I received about that program had the owner's name attached to it, my name or ID never showed up. All the AR messages were from the owner, not me, as I was told would happen.

Of course I queried all this and was told there must have been a glitch in the system. So being fairly new, new that is, not stupid, I tried it all again, different name, different email and guess what, same thing happened.

How many people I had gained for him I have no idea. But it taught me a good lesson, find out how I get the contacts first.

Now that required my own webform and autoresponder and my own incentive to entice people to receive my information.

Incentives are easy, there are some great e-books, courses and software that you don*t have to purchase, some you are able to rebrand with your links embedded. Important note, make sure what you offer has value.

The webform is easy too, and even the autoresponder and all can be done for no cost to you, just your time. Try it all the no cost way and when you find out how well it is working for you, you may need an unlimited Autoresponder and List Manager.

With the fr*ee website, you can have seven pages up and running for no cost, but even if you decide you need more the cost is very reasonable.

With your autoresponder you receive a code in HTML for the form for your prospects to fill out, this code you add to your sign-up page on your FreeWebs website.

So when someone signs up, they go into your autoresponder and start receiving your messages.

Now here*s what you need to do.
