Have you ever watched that show on the fox channel about the "masked magician" who reveals how all the magic tricks are done? He takes you behind the scenes and shows you step by step exactly how the illusion is done. I bet this guy has a price on his head for spilling the secrets of these successful magicians! I would imagine that this guy has major security following him around to protect him. I could also imagine that he constantly gets hate mail and threats from magicians who perform and sell these "magic tricks". Poor guy! He's just trying to make a living! Luckily for me the secrets I will be revealing are not life threatening. Although these secrets are closely guarded by the most successful internet marketers. I will show exactly how to succeed in internet marketing. And no it is not some magic formula which you can use once and voila you're rich! No! It will take patients, dedication, and work. Yes I did say it, "work!" Success leaves clues. So if we look closely at these clues, we can take them and create the exact same results. I don't like to waste peoples time because I know how valuable it is to you. So lets get started!
Secret #1. Successful internet marketers leverage people. And no, I don't mean take advantage of them. What I am saying is they work with a team. They mastermind with other successful entrepreneurs. If you want to win a marathon you have to prepare, train, and have a great coach to encourage and help you. Successful people know that they are in this internet marketing game for the long haul. So they team up with great people who will provide encouragement, motivation, and know how's. One cannot win in life alone. You need people who have the same ambitions as you. If you want to achieve a certain goal, find people who have already achieved it. Then mimic them. Do what they do, eat what they eat, talk how they talk, think how they think and before you know it you will achieve the exact same results. So go out and leverage people.
Secret #2. Successful internet marketers leverage systems. If you want to be a body builder you know that you will need the proper nutrition, a proper training regime, and a great coach. That is an example of a system. Eat right, exercise daily, follow the instructions your trainer gives you. The same applies to internet marketing. You need to have systems. First you need content, capture pages, auto-responders, and training for new recruits if you're promoting MLM's. You also need the proper marketing strategies. Once all these systems are in place you can sit back and reap the fruits of your labor! So leverage systems.
Secret #3. Successful internet marketers leverage time and patients. They know that an average business doesn't turn a profit until a few years after it was started. It's not to say that it takes that long to see profits online, on the contrary, it is the fastest way to make money! However, they take this as a serious business, therefore they will work their systems and leverage people for however long they need to be leveraged for them to see the results they desire. They expect to win. They expect set backs and what an average person would consider failure. They are not here for the quick buck, they are in for the long run. For the huge profits.
So leverage people and their knowledge. Set your systems in place. And be patient. Let your name circulate on the web. Sooner or later your business will pick up momentum and will be unstoppable. Before you know it you will be at the top along side all the internet marketing legends! Until next time, happy marketing!!

The Art of Give Away Marketing
As a Lifestyle Marketing Success Coach, I'm frequently advising online marketers and brick and mortar entrepreneurs, alike, in ways to entice new customers into the sales funnel. Every successful marketer knows that a 'call to action' is only as good as the value perceived by the potential customer.
How to Spice Up an Irresistible Offer
In an internet-based marketing campaign, the effectiveness or your call-to-action is the difference between and lose sleep over split-testing different button colors and font types. Fortunately, one tried and true technique for increasing opt-in conversion rates is offering an enticing 'give-away' as a reward for the viewer's action. Oh...but what to give away...
Below are two easily adaptable techniques to bolster your offer's value and multiply your marketing conversion rates.
Survey and Consultation
For internet marketers, leveraging an online surveys as a pre-requisite to scheduling a brief, 1-on-1 consultation is a very effective offer. This works well if you have already developed an industry reputation, or can position yourself as an authority. While the consultation is positioned as being all about the prospect, you receive value as well. In addition to building your all important mailing list, these sessions provide valuable market feedback in the form of the people who respond to your message and the questions they ask. A well structured survey identifies the respondent's 'pain points' and prepares you to speak with authority in addressing their problems.
Be prepared with answers to common questions and you'll be perceived as a knowledgeable leader. Take your list of questions from surveys and consultations and build it into your marketing. There is no faster way to position yourself as an authority than by offering answers to common problems. IMPORTANT: Do Not pitch your product or opportunity during this initial session. You are laying the foundation for a long-term relationship, not closing a quick sale. The practice of "giving" first, before asking anyone to open their wallet is a key technique in Web 2.0 (social media) campaigns. There are many online, survey services available. SurveyMonkey, for example, is easy to use and offers a free level of service with ample functionality.
The Special Report
Another effective marketing 'give-away' is anything which you can refer to as a "special report." Original content is great, but new marketers will be relieved to learn that you don't have to write it yourself. If you've found something online that helped or motivated you, it will do the same for others. You do, however, have to give credit to the original source, so choose wisely. Here's one example. Have you ever read "The Coffee House Letter" (http://bit.ly/CoffHouse)? It has made its rounds on the internet, but is often referenced as the standard in 'long copy' market positioning. The formula used in the coffee house letter is simple:

- Expose the reader's pain
- Present a solution.
- Grabs the reader's attention
- Tells a story
- Eliminates objection through supporting content
- Weeds out tire-kickers (due to its length)
- Pre-qualifies the lead
- Presents a strong call to action
