How to Stop Your Emails From Ending Up in the Trash

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Dave McGarry

If you are like me you probably get a ton of emails everyday. Now, I will be the first to admit that this is my fault because I sign up for everyone’s “free report!” Well, if you are also like me you probably check the box next to the emails you want to delete and throw them in the trash with out reading them.So this brings me to my point today, and that is as more and more small business try to use internet marketing as a way to connect with customers how do you prevent a client from deleting your email without ever reading it? The answer is email filtering!

As I mentioned above I get a ton of emails from businesses and people all day and everyday. It really became overwhelming until, I started using an email filtering system. Most email systems like Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, and others give you the ability to filter your emails into categories or priorities. This has been a great productivity and time saver for me because I only look at the priority mail first and save the other mail for a later time or day to look at, but how do you get your customers to make your emails a priority?

In order to maximize your emails and get your customers to filter you into their priority inbox you need to do several things and in order to better understand the strategies fully take a look at this article from Aweber’s help center on “How to get your emails filetered.” Now, regardless if you use Aweber or not this article is helpful in giving you some simple tips to get your clients to filter your emails and put you on their priority list.

To your success,

How To Get An Instant Traffic Surge To Your Site

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Dave McGarry

Hello everyone. Today I want to bring you a guest post by one of my mentors. If you have a website and want to learn how to get traffic to your site you need to read this article.

“How To Get An Instant Traffic Surge To Your Site”
By Jimmy D. Brown of Traffic F.U.E.L.

There’s no question that building an affiliate program is THE best way to get a lot of free traffic to your web site.

And, if you spend any amount of time at all reading through the materials here, you’ll find a lot of useful ideas for finding affiliates to grow your program.

But, here is an affiliate idea that will absolutely take your traffic and sales to the next level.

Let me give it to you in it’s abbreviated form first, and then I’ll explain everything you need to know to quickly get it implemented.

You ready for this?

Here goes…

“Find a motivated ‘affiliate manager’ and pay them 50% of all your profits”

Now, I know what you’re thinking – why in the world would I pay someone HALF of all of my profit?

I’m about to explain it to you. And believe me, this is worth the read, so pay careful attention to what I’m about to explain to you.

This is good.

It works like this…

1. Setup a separate website to process orders.

To begin with, you’ll need to setup a separate website to process all of the orders that your “affiliate manager” brings in (along with all sales generated by the affiliates he recruits for you)

In other words, you register a new domain that is similar to the title of your existing domain, and you host that site.nt for processing all of the orders and managing your new affiliate program that your “manager” will be overseeing.

This is a completely separate account from your existing one. All orders generated through this account will be completely brought in by your affiliate manager and affiliates / partners he recruits.

Now, obviously, your affiliate manager will want to monitor sales stats to see how much profit is being generated to this Clickbank account. You’ve got two options for how you allow your affiliate manager access…

Get full access to the control panel. Your first option is to allow your affiliate manager complete access to the control panel at Clickbank in order to monitor stats. I highly recommend that you ONLY do this if your affiliate manager is someone you know well and find completely trustworthy. Once someone has access to your Clickbank account, they can, in effect, take control of the account. Use this option with extreme caution.

Give email access and screenshots. The other option is to setup a forwarding email address that sends the sales notifications from Clickbank to both of your email accounts. This will allow your affiliate manager to get notified when any sale is generated so they can verify sales and profits. Additionally, at the end of each pay period, you could take screenshots of the Clickbank control panel or scan the check you receive from Clickbank when sending your affiliate manager’s half of the profits received.em on to your affiliate manager to use with the affiliates he has recruited for the separate program.

Hint: Encourage him to create his own unique materials, incentives, and contests for his own affiliates as well!

What an incredible traffic-generation idea!

You get…

* 50% of all profits from this separate site!

* A growing database of affiliates!

* A growing opt-in list!

All in all, this is one of THE best ways to grow your business … without lifting a finger!

Need free website traffic fast? Try this!

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Dave McGarry

Hi my fellow small business owners it is Dave, your small business coach here. Listen, one of the hardest things whether you are offline or online is getting traffic to your business. As many of you know I have an online business Working Mom Workouts.com, where I provide weekly fitness workouts to my clients. One of my earliest mistakes was I spent a ton of money on PPC and other online advertising to get traffic to my site. It worked but it nearly bankrupted me, so with that said I was left with really only one option and that was to get traffic to the site for “FREE”! I had some ideas but I went back to one of the guys who helped me build my membership site.

Now, there are some “go to” website traffic strategies that most successful internet marketers find themselves using over and over again when they need a boost in visitors to one of their sites.

One well known internet marketer tells of using some of them for more than a DECADE (yep, over 10 years!) and they continue to work with incredible results for him.

Others are “cutting edge” newcomers that are likewise driving people to his sites.

All of them come without a cost. Zilch. No budget. Free.

What’s even better is this:

They continue to pull in traffic for months and even years after he deploy thems.

It’s true, long after the initial “spike” in traffic comes in visitors continue to see his promos that are in place and they continue to click on them.

And he continues to make money from them.

You can too!

Jimmy D. Brown has prepared a free subscription to his new Traffic Jam Newsletter at:
http://imstitute.com/go.php?offer=texasdmcg&pid=20

In the first issue you’ll learn “10 Ways To Get Other People To Send You Free Traffic”.

There is no cost for the newsletter subscription. It’s available a few paragraphs into the page.

While you’re there, check out his amazing Traffic F.U.E.L. membership site.

It’s a 12-month training program that teaches you how to get completely free traffic to any website you choose.

Two things you need to know about it up front…

1) If you join now you can lock-in at the introductory price, which is a SUBSTANTIAL savings. Once these charter memberships are sold, the price will almost DOUBLE, so now is the time to get in.

2) There are two “fast action” bonuses that are VERY LIMITED. These will be removed without notice, so if you arrive at the site and one or both of the boxes with their description in it are gone, it means they are no longer available.

At a minimum you should drop by and grab a free subscription to his new Traffic Jam Newsletter.

And unless you don’t want any more traffic to your website, you should grab a charter membership to Traffic F.U.E.L. right away.

Have you heard of Facebook Webinars?

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Dave McGarry

I know most of you at some point in the last few months have either been on a webinar or has had someone invite you to a webinar. Also, you have probably heard all the buzz about automated webinars. Now, I have to admit I have been struggling with what webinar system I want to use to promote my www.workingmomworkouts.com , until now.

As most of you who own or run your own business it is not uncommon to be working on Saturday or Sunday. Well, my wife and the kids were out shopping and doing the girly stuff, so I decided to sit down at the computer and read through some emails. I think probably one of the best decisions I have made in a long time and here is why.I follow quite a few internet marketing “gurus” but as of lately I have been real selective on who’s email I actually open up and read. Well, one of the guys who I am following is, Keith Baxter of Affiliate Radio. I am so glad I did because I have now decided on which webinar system I am going to use to promote my products.

Listen, I can not do it justice by writing about it. You need to take the next 30 minutes and turn everything off and go watch it. Here is the link . If you are serious about taking your business to another level and webinars are not part of your marketing strategy, you are going to be losing a lot of money! Plus, when you see how this webinar uses facebook to promote your products or services you are going to flip out! Go check it out NOW!

Let me know what you think when it is over!

What is a QR Code

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Dave McGarry

Okay, I have been getting a lot of emails asking me about QR Codes and how can I get one. Well, back in January of this year I wrote about a feature Google is promoting called “Google Places.” In that post, which you can read about what Google is doing with it I had briefly talked about QR codes. QR codes are still unknown to most people but they are showing up a lot more all over the place. I mean just the other day I received some advertisement in the mail that had a QR code at the bottom. Also, my new business card for Working Mom Workouts I put a QR code on the back because my business is all online and I need people to go to my website. If you have any type of business you need one and here is why!

1.) Direct people to your website as I explained with the use of my card
2.) Create promotional messages
3.) Create discounts that your customers can scan the code and be taken to
4.) Capture new leads

Those are just a few examples of how to use the QR code. What I want to do next is to show you how easy it is to create one in a short video.
