You Sales Funnel: Your Plan To Succeed

Business isn’t just good luck and timing. It’s also about careful business planning. Part of that planning involves the careful design and implementation of your sales funnel. This is the strategy you put in place to collect the random visitors that come to your site and convert them into paying customers. A carefully crafted sales funnel can help you make your own luck and give you a great start to succeed in your online business.

The elements of good sales funnel are:

• Identifying Your Sales Prospects – First, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff, the paying customers from the freeloaders. This isn’t too hard to do if you can simply get people to identify themselves with clever introductory offers. Once a purchase is made, no matter how small, you know that this is someone open to your products and services.

• Ask For The Sale – Don’t be afraid to ask for a sale! Once you’ve identified potential customers, start to make them offers that they can’t refuse. Most of online marketing is being able to present your products in irresistible offers that appeal to your demographics.

• Create Your Own Sales Opportunities – Don’t just include sales copy on a sales web page, but also in other areas from your thank you page to ingenious email and newsletter links. If you start paying attention to when and how to market your prospects, you will eventually increase your bottom line.

• Give Your Customers Choices – Maybe your customer prefers to see a video rather than buy an ebook. Offering different formats is one way to offer different choices. Another way is to offer the same product, but with varying complexity so that they can try out a cheaper and simpler version first. Later, if they want upgrade they will know what to expect.

This graduated way of finding your potential customers, making sure you ask for the sale, and increasingly marketing them over a period of time will give you good results in business. It will be a proven way to gradually build your customer base and increase your customer loyalty year after year.

To have success with back-end marketing strategies in your business, you need to make sure these elements are followed in your strategies:

You need to build a rapport with your customers by presenting quality lower-priced offers to them, as well as presenting them with quality free information and gifts from time to time.   Only by building trust that you are looking out for their best interests and are genuinely trying to help them will they even consider purchasing your higher-priced offers in the future.

Notice the word “quality” – you cannot present them with just any offer; if that product you recommend is not high-quality and useful to them, they’ll likely tune you out when you present any future higher-priced product offers, and thereby, essentially eliminate your chances of profiting from back-end marketing, which is the real key to making substantial online profits.

Once you lose your customers’ attention by presenting them with substandard product offers, it’s very difficult to convince them to trust you again and consider your future higher-priced offers, so make sure to not present substandard product offers.  You can do this by testing the products yourself if you don’t create them, and preferably, you should create the products you recommend yourself, especially in the beginning, as not only will you know for sure the products are high-quality, you’ll also gain more profit from those sales as well.

When you’re filling a container with a spout, you have to use a funnel to make sure that you guide the liquid from one area to another and capture it where you want it. Similarly, a sales funnel captures the enormous potential of Internet traffic and directs it to make sales for your products and services. Without a plan for capturing visitors to your site and converting them into paying customers, you will spend enormous amounts of time creating new customers and convincing them to buy instead of harvesting the flow of potential customers already on your site.

Sales funnels allow you to identify paying customers, begin to build a trusting relationship with them, and eventually help them to make the decision to buy from you. Without a sales funnel, you miss many opportunities to engage your visitors into a relationship with you that can create profit for you and help them solve whatever dilemma has brought them to your site.

To be successful at selling anything online, whether it would be products or services, you need to have targeted traffic visit your website.  Without targeted traffic, you have no chance of creating a successful business online.

Targeted traffic consists of people who are interested in your product offer from the very beginning.  In all likelihood, they are looking for a product comparable or similar to what you are offering and find your website via the search engines.

Therefore, making sure your website ranks highly in the search engines is vital to achieving success with your online business.  The search engines constantly change the algorithms that determine how a site will rank in their results pages, but a common theme to how your site will rank in their results pages is making sure that your website is relevant to the topic you want to rank highly in.

Since people find topics they are interested in via keywords, or words used to refer to the topic in question, you need to make sure those keywords and related words appear on your site.  However, you can’t overuse those keywords and related words, as the search engines will recognize intentional “stuffing” of specific words and penalize your site by lowering its rankings in their results pages or even remove your site from their results pages entirely.

It’s important that you develop a delicate balance between using the specific keywords you want to rank highly in enough throughout your site and not overusing them where your site will get penalized or banned.

To increase your online profits, you want to find as many of the “super,” or top-performing, affiliates as you can find.  However, without knowing where to look, finding a needle in a haystack may be easier.  Fortunately, there are some places online you can go to to increase your chances of finding and recruiting these top affiliates.

One place to find these super affiliates is to find newsletters, blogs, forums, and other such sites.  The owners of these sites are likely top-performing affiliates, as running such informative sites like newsletters and blogs show a level of dedication that goes above and beyond what most affiliates are either doing or willing to do.  In addition, running a newsletter, blog, or both can be a good way to promote products via free advertising, just by posting relevant information about that topic and then including a link to the product’s web page.

In addition, running a newsletter, blog, or forum can enable the owners of these sites to stay updated on the latest developments in the industry easily and for free.  That can give them a distinct advantage in knowing what products to promote and where to promote them, as well as having a reputation for running a specific site, which will likely encourage people to trust him/her and purchase the product offer he/she is recommending.

This is just one place to find super affiliates for your affiliate sales force.  To learn the other places where you can find super affiliates, as well as learn how exactly to get them to join your affiliate sales force, check out “Managing Your Affiliates.”

Most inexperienced Internet marketers don’t realize when they first come online that they need targeted traffic to make the income and live the lifestyle they’ve heard about and desired for themselves.  After all, people need to know about your product offer(s) and purchase them in order for you to make profits from your online business.

Once those new Internet marketers learn they have to gain targeted traffic to their websites, they think they have to spend money to gain that targeted traffic.  They start to despair because many of them don’t have much money to utilize in their online ventures when they are first starting out.

While you can spend money to gain the targeted traffic you need (via PPC ads, Google AdWords, and other methods), you don’t have to spend money to gain the targeted traffic you need either.  There are many quality ways to gain targeted traffic to your website for free.

Of course, you must realize that gaining targeted traffic to your website will require either time, money, and in some cases, both, so if you don’t spend money to gain that targeted traffic, it’s very likely you’ll have to utilize some of your time to gain that targeted traffic, but if the method is sound, the time and work put into utilizing this method will be well-worth it as your online business will gain the targeted traffic it needs to provide you with the income and lifestyle you desire.

To succeed in an online business, you need many elements:

-    Domain Name
-    Dedicated Web Hosting
-    Reliable Autoresponders
-    A Consistent Flow Of Traffic
-    Convincing Sales Copy
-    Etc.

Regarding the traffic element mentioned above, this is critically important to your online success.  Without traffic coming to your website, it won’t matter if you have any or all of the other elements, as no one will know about your website and learn of your product offer.

However, there is a specific type of traffic that will greatly increase your chances at online success, and that type of traffic is known as “targeted traffic.”

Targeted traffic is where the traffic that comes to your web page is interested in your product offer from the moment he/she arrives at your web page.  Conversely, “untargeted traffic” is where the traffic that comes to your web page is not interested in your product offer from the time he/she arrives at your web page.

Naturally, it will be much easier to convert targeted traffic into buyers than it would converting untargeted traffic into buyers.  Targeted traffic will have an initial interest in a product or service you are offering; they may even have come to your website because they were specifically looking for something similar to what you are offering.

Untargeted traffic will likely have just stumbled onto your website by accident, perhaps confusing your domain name with something else they were looking for or thinking your website would be about something else.  When they get to your web page, they will likely leave just as quickly because the subject matter you are dealing with does not interest them.

You have a choice so, make it a better than terrific day!
