Elements of a Effective “Quick-Start” System

By Alex Mandossian

If you’re an info marketer, small business owner or a service professional, then having a Quick-Start (QS) system is critical to accelerate the growth of your business.

For instance, as marketer who teaches how to get wealthy in the Domaining business, my first aim is to inspire, motivate and influence new students (customers) to get steeped into my QS system.

Click here if you want to see how this works first-hand.

Whenever one of my Domaining prospects converts into a paid Domaining student (and becomes a new member of my “tribe”), I bend over backwards to make sure [Read more…]

Marketing is war, anyway you look at it. You are battling other competitors. You are battling for mindshare of your prospects, customers and evangelists. Marketing IS combat and you NEED a strategy.

Jay Conrad Levinson, the father of Guerrilla Marketing, has been teaching this since the 80’s. He has millions of books that have been printed in over 38 languages.

According to him, I have done more Guerrilla Marketing plans than anyone else living on the planet. I think there are about 8000 people who have learned how to write a Guerrilla Marketing plan through me.

Many of those plans have been one-on-ones. I think I have done over 3,000 one-on-ones in about five years. It’s phenomenal. I do group sessions now, and I teach one-on-many.

Like many others, you can join the ranks of successful people that are using this powerful tool to build and grow their business.

How Do I Get Gobs of Traffic to My Articles?

By Jeff Herring

article marketing,ezinearticles,jeff herring, traffic,traffic generation Fresh from the Article Marketing Round Table I led at the recent Glazer-Kennedy Super Conference in Dallas, here is one of the FAQs I got:

Q: Once I have created my article(s), how do I get traffic to my articles?

A: I really like this question, because there are just so many great answers to it. I’ve got room for only 3 in this article, and here they are:

1) EzineArticles.com – One of the first things I learned about getting traffic on the Internet is this:

“Don’t chase after traffic. Find out where the traffic is going and get your information in front of it.”

When you get your articles on EzineArticles.com you are getting yourself in front of over 30 + million unique visitors a month. These are folks searching in specific categories for your specific information. This is a great way to connect highly qualified prospects with your information and invite them back to your web site or blog.

Your goal should be to get as many articles up on this Article Directory as you can, and establish yourself as an expert in your niche or area of expertise.

2) OPT – This stands for “Other People’s Traffic” and you get it when you click here to read the rest of the article…

Email “FROM” Lines vs. “SUBJECT” Lines

By Alex Mandossian

email-box I’ve surveyed thousands of my students about my findings in this post, so please read it carefully.

Here’s the heart of the matter: Whenever you send an email message to your list, to your friends or colleagues, they privately ask themselves these 2 critical questions before taking further action:

1) WHO is this email from?

2) WHAT is this email about?

Test this premise with yourself. The next time you’re about to open-up and read email messages from your Inbox, what question(s) do you privately ask yourself before grabbing your mouse, clicking and reading them?

If you’re like most people I’ve surveyed, the answers are: WHO? and WHAT?

The WHO Question: Answering the WHO? question is easy because it involves the FROM LINE of your email messages. I recommend that your FROM LINE never changes. Here’s what mine looks like:

~ Alex Mandossian ~

Specifically, I put a tilda (“~”), then a space, then my first name, then a another space then my last name, then another space, then a second tilda.

That’s it.

I never change my [Read more…]

Got “Affiliate Signup” Access On Your Blog?

By Alex Mandossian

alex-point-up1 Do you see Affiliate Signup button (the one I’m pointing at) on the upper left side of this blog?

I published that button a week ago (as an experiment) to test if I’d get a “passive” spike in attracting new Affiliate Partners and so far, I’ve doubled my daily Affiliate sign-up rate.

Even if this “doubling” effect doesn’t continue, “shame on me” for not adding that button to my blog sooner!

How about you? Do you have an affiliate program? Do you have a blog?

If you answered “YES” to both questions, then I encourage you to ask yourself this question before you put your Affiliate sign-up button on your blog:

“Do I want my Affiliate Program to be ‘closed’ or ‘open’?”

A “closed” program is typically only available to Affiliates who have also purchased one of your offers. An “open” program is available to anyone who is in good standing with you and wants to promote your offers.

For the first 8 years of my online marketing experience, I had a “closed” affiliate program. But it is now “open” as a result of wanting to build-out the AskAlexToday “outer circle” calls held on the first Thursday of each month.

Turning Pro: The difference between an “amateur” and a “professional” is $1. The moment you make your first dollar, you’ve turned “pro” from my point of view.

Since my goal to get you to “turn Pro” as fast as possible, I’ll [Read more…]
