			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Internet Marketing System 1: The Autopilot Money System</strong><br />
With this system you are using an autoresponder to sell all your products and services and those you promote as an affiliate for commissions.</p>
<p>This can be as simple as creating a few email messages, loading them into your autoresponder, and then forgetting about it. The autoresponder loaded with your messages will do all the selling for you 24/7 on autopilot!</p>
<p><strong>Internet Marketing System 2: The List Building System</strong><br />
With an online business, the money is in the list. If you&#8217;re not building a list of people interested in the topic of your business you&#8217;ll never see any real money!</p>
<p>To start building a list you need a good list building system. Maybe it&#8217;s just a squeeze page giving something away for free, or maybe something complex like a free service you offer just to get people on your list.</p>
<p>Of all the systems I would say this is the most important one!</p>
<p><strong>Internet Marketing System 3: The Affiliate System</strong><br />
If you have your own products and services you can sky rocket your income by having an affiliate program. Once you have an affiliate program in place it&#8217;s important to have a system that recruits affiliates for you, so that they promote for you.</p>
<p>I have an &#8220;affiliate hub&#8221; that gives away free affiliate training. We drive traffic to it, train people to promote our products, and it does wonderfully well with affiliate recruitment! </p>
<p><strong>Internet Marketing System 4: Found Money System</strong><br />
I call this the found money system because it&#8217;s like finding extra money. Instead of just having one product to sell have several products that sell in an automated system. This can be in your initial sales process or by using an autoresponder.</p>
<p><strong>Internet Marketing System 5: Traffic System</strong><br />
Last but certainly not least the traffic system. You must have systems in place that continually drive traffic to your website. Outsourcing your traffic generation is the best way to go. You can simply hire people to run these traffic systems for you, and it will free up your time a lot.</p>
<p>My favorite traffic systems are: Article marketing, Video Marketing and Solo Ads</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to find what works for you and use that traffic system over and over again!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to learn internet marketing systems that you can put to use in your business then I highly recommend that you check out the <a href="http://youclickhere.info/readytogo" target="_blank">Ready To Go Systems HERE .</a></p>

<p>Article marketing is effective, affordable and relatively simple. The concept is basically to saturate the internet with back links to your website. This is done by creating niche specific articles that target a specific keyword related to what you are selling. Each article you create will have a &#8220;Resource Box&#8221; at the bottom. A resource box is nothing more than a blurb about you, your website, or your product. The key is that the resource box contains a link that will bring the reader to the site of your choice. </p>
<p>Creating articles can be outsourced to ghost writers. All you have to do is send them a list of tittles and keywords and they will do the rest. I have used a company called <a href="http://cyberhubonline.com" target="_blank">cyberhubonline.com</a> and they are very affordable. Just be sure to always read and customize the articles once you get them back from the ghost writer.</p>
<p>The next step is to submit your article to as many directories as possible. This is the only tricky part in the process. See, there are thousands of directories called Ezines (Electronic Magazines) as a matter of fact, there are just too many to subscribe too. This makes the whole article submission process quite tedious. Moreover, to be truly effective you can&#8217;t submit the &#8220;same exact&#8221; article to every directory because it will actually hurt your search engine ranking.I use 2 integral components that make this all go smoothly. An article spinner and a mass article submitter. </p>
<p>&#8220;Spinning&#8221; an article means that you are creating multiple versions of the same article by replacing, and reorganizing certain words. By using a spinner software, one can actually create several hundred variations of the same article in just a matter of a few minutes. Some spinners are more effective and produce more &#8220;natural&#8221; articles than others. Here is a free one you can try articlechanger.net (not too fancy.. but it works)</p>
<p>I use <a href="http://omar-martin.com/Recommends/SubmitYourArticle/" target="_blank">SubmitYourArticle.com</a> this is a more sophisticated application that not only spins the articles for me but it also submits it to hundreds of Ezine Article Directories for me at the click of a button. This saves countless hours for me. </p>
<p>Article traffic is not instant, it takes time to build and the key is getting hundreds and hundreds of articles out there, each linking back to your site. With time and the help of a spinner and mass submitter you can literally saturate the web with your links and get some serious traffic back to your sites.</p>

<p>Twitter is not a toy. Many people look at social media sites like Facebook and Twitter and they see them as toys. As places to go and have fun, and connect with friends. And yes, they are all that. But for entrepreneurs like you and me, Twitter can be a very powerful tool.</p>
<p>Social media websites dominate internet traffic. Here&#8217;s what that means in plain english just to help you understand. At any given moment, more people surfing the web can be found on a social network site than any other website period. That means, people, “your potential customers” are in the social media networks. Think of this like fishing in the ocean, what if you knew that special spot where all the big fish are? What if the bottom of your boat was equipped with a special fish detecting sonar system that could tell you exactly where to stop and fish?</p>
<p>Your fish are found on Facebook and Twitter. They&#8217;re all there but what are you doing? Are you just playing and swimming in the water or are you there to fish? Or are you the person in denial that stays on shore building sandcastles in the sky?</p>
<p>Twitter is an excellent source for potential customers as well as joint partners and affiliates. I think of it like being at a party or a social get together. As you&#8217;re mingling through the crowd, you&#8217;re listening to others and all you do is insert yourself in the most interesting conversations. So, what if I told you exactly how to find the interesting conversations on Twitter? You can find people that are shopping around for your product or maybe you can find someone that wishes they had a product like yours to sell to his friends. It&#8217;s a win win win scenario. So go now and insert yourself in the twitter conversations by going to <a href="http://search.twitter.com" target="_blank">www.search.twitter.com</a>.</p>

<p>Millions and millions of people look for things on the internet each and every hour of the day. How do they look? Well the majority of them, almost all of them, are typing something into a search bar somewhere. What they&#8217;re typing is called keywords or key phrases. If your site contains those exact keywords it will be returned to that seeker in the search results. </p>
<p>Unfortunately for you, thousands and even often times millions of other websites are also included in those search results. It is every marketers desire that their website be the number one site returned by the search engines to that product seeker, this is called rank. Your site is on it, but it might be on the six hundredth page and the product seeker rarely searches past the second page of their results. </p>
<p>All search engines have a grading system for websites that are targeting similar keywords. The better they grade you, the higher you will rank on their results page.  The best way to rank high is to target keywords that are very very specific this can be done a number of ways by using key phrases instead of just a word, better known as long tailed keywords. For example, if your website sells travel supplies the word “vacation” may not be the best choice for many obvious reasons. The main ones being cost and competitiveness.</p>
<p>By using Google&#8217;s <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" target="_blank">keyword research tool</a> you can see the exact amount of searches conducted locally and worldwide for any keyword you can think of. Better yet, Google will even display related keywords and their results. This process will better help you pinpoint specific keywords. It will also help you avoid keyword traps like indian head massage.</p>

<p>If there&#8217;s one thing that I get asked more than anything else it&#8217;s “Omar, how can I get traffic to my website?” Unfortunately, my response is typically harsh, because in many cases the person asking the question finds themselves in this dilemma due to pure stubbornness. </p>
<p>Why stubborn? Because they still haven&#8217;t accepted that internet marketing is a business. It&#8217;s a business of online selling, where the product itself is of little consequence. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, this doesn&#8217;t mean that I advocate selling crap, what this means is that you shouldn&#8217;t be so hell bent on one particular product or website. Sell what sells or rather, sell what people are buying. It&#8217;s much easier to sell what someone wants to buy then it is to get someone to want to buy what it is you&#8217;re selling. </p>
<p>What I am trying to say here, is that you need to do your research first. You need to find the traffic first and most people that find themselves in a traffic crunch, are in that dilemma because they did the opposite. They found the product first or they built the website first and now their life is completely consumed with driving traffic daily with expensive ad word campaigns and with the never ending quest for a guru to promote their product. In conclusion, how do you get web traffic? You don&#8217;t get it, you don&#8217;t create it, you find it and you divert it. You find the need, you create the solution and then you put a sign for the solution in front of the needy potential customers.</p>

<p>This module covers something I call page flow. This is essentially the process that a visitor goes through when making a purchase on your website or at least it should be. There are many different ways to set this up and the method I described in the video above, as simple as it may seem, it has served me quite well. As a matter of fact, it has served me to the tune of nearly a million dollars over the past few years. </p>
<p>The premise is simple, it basically deals with offering your customer multiple options to suit their purchase mentality. Every customer that begins the sales process is somewhat interested in your material. However, they are not all equally committed to investing their money. Therefore, it behooves you to custom tailor the process for each of them.</p>
<p>It all begins with your landing page. This can either offer something for free to get the process started or it can call on the visitor to make some sort of a payment, even if it&#8217;s a free plus shipping offer. Those that take action are taken to the payment page. This is where you collect the customers information. Conventional wisdom tells us that the next thing we should do is give them the product they have purchased, but marketing genius tells us that true profitability comes from showing them a one time offer next. </p>
<p>At the one time offer page, you present them with a great value congruent with the product they just purchased. Your customer is now faced with a decision. They will either choose yes to purchase the OTO or they will choose no thanks to decline. In either case, the process is far from over. </p>
<p>Now this is where the magic happens. If the customer chose yes and took you up on the one time offer, you know that they are highly committed You are obligated to present them with one final offer. As Marlin Brando would say, “this is where you make them an offer, they can&#8217;t refuse.” The secret formula here is simple, half of your OTO buyers will also buy your upsell as long as you use this simple formula. For the upsell, give them double the amount of stuff you gave them in the OTO only this time, charge them half the price, that makes it a no brainer and I have found time and time again, that approximately half of your OTO buyers will also buy your upsell.</p>
<p>But what about everyone else? How about all those people that paid the low amount on the first page but declined the one time offer? Well, as marketers it just simply wouldn&#8217;t be prudent to let them off the hook. Those customers are taken to what we call a “downsell.” The downsell formula has to be a no brainer as well. I&#8217;ve found that if you remove a small portion of the product,  but still give them the basic meat and potatoes, half of them will be willing to pay half the price of the OTO to purchase your downsell.</p>
<p>So when it&#8217;s all said and done, you&#8217;re left with four types of members. </p>
<p>1.	<strong>Free members</strong> (those that only paid the small price upfront and then purchased nothing else)<br />
2.	<strong>Silver members</strong> (those that paid the small price upfront, declined the OTO but purchased the downsell)<br />
3.	<strong>Gold members</strong> (those that paid the small price upfront and purchased the OTO but declined the upsell.)<br />
4.	<strong>Platinum members</strong> (those that purchased the small product upfront, plus the OTO, plus the upsell)</p>
<p>Naturally, the greatest amount of members you will have are free members followed by silver, gold and platinum respectively. The great thing about this is that you know exactly how committed each member is which gives you huge leverage with further marketing efforts.</p>

<p>What the heck is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media" target="_blank">social media</a> anyway?  Well my friend&#8230; it&#8217;s the wave of the future and if you don&#8217;t know much about it then you need to learn or you&#8217;ll be left in the dust. Social media is literally shaping the way humans communicate. Websites like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Myspace are redifining communication as we once knew it.</p>
<p>Through social media websites, one can have a circle of friends and followers with witch they communicate and share information with. You no longer have to &#8220;Remember to tell that story to each of your friends whenever you see them again.&#8221; Just write it on your &#8220;wall&#8221; or send a &#8220;tweet&#8221; about it for all your friends to see. </p>
<p>Social media enables us to share small things in our everyday lives that dont necessarily warrant a phone call. These websites make us feel more connected regardless of physical distance between us. The greater majority of internet users have made social media sites a daily task on their surfing routine. They login to see new photos or videos from friends or perhaps to post about what happened in their lives today.</p>
<p>Social media sites enable &#8220;potential followers and friends&#8221; to find you based on what you post and by the friends you have in common. These gives businesses and entrepreneurs a huge advantage in the development of a customer base. More and more we are seeing newscasts and live TV shows post their &#8220;Twitter Feed&#8221; live on the screen during television broadcasts. Famous actors and actresses utilize Facebook to &#8220;connect&#8221; with their audience. And even Rock Bands and Rap artists leverage this power to their advantages. </p>
<p>In my opinion, the recent US presidential election was hugely influenced by social media. Obama was one of the first candidates to show such a heavy social media internet presence throughout his campaign This enabled him to reach alot more young voters (target market) than his opponent. Brilliant marketing.</p>
<p>I strongly recommend that you create accounts in the main social networks and post to them daily. Let people get to know you. Speak from the heart. Share photos and videos and invite followers back to your blog. On the blog you should also display icons that lead visitors to your social networking sites. This will create a web of credibility and establish your brand while your presence is made to be known.</p>

<p>People that need a hole can buy a drill, they can take the time to drive over to &#8220;Home Depot&#8221; peruse the power tool section and find a good deal. Then they bring their shiny new drill home and read the users manual before they make their hole. The entire process took about 2 hours&#8230; At least that&#8217;s what you would think right?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how that analogy relates to internet marketing&#8230; Marketers that need a whole go to google and begin researching &#8220;hole drilling&#8221; After several hours of surfing they end up opting in to 5 hole drilling lists and purchase 2 ebooks on drills and bits. Next they download a &#8220;FREE&#8221; drill assembling blueprint. </p>
<p>Next, they go to home depot and buy the motor, the handle the chassis, the power cord and the bit mount. Then they realize they need some specialized tools and electronic supplies to put their drill together so they order those online and wait 12 days for them to arrive. Once they have their special tools, parts and blue print they begin assembling the drill themselves.<br />
Once completed the drill does in fact turn on and spin, however it isn&#8217;t powerfully enough because they settled on the cheaper motor in order to afford the special tools. The hole doesn&#8217;t quite turn out the way they wanted and by now they are so frustrated that they give up on it all together and blame the hole drilling industry for their embarrassing failure.</p>
<p>I know you are in the business of building websites not drilling holes but do you? One of the keys to succeeding in business and in life is to KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS. There comes a time where you must face that it simply makes sense to let someone else do something for you in exchange for money. Let the experts do their thing FOR you while you leverage your time.</p>
<p>For many of us this seems like a great notion but we convince ourselves that we can&#8217;t afford to outsource. I personally did this to myself without ever even having looked into the prices of outsourcing. Did you know there is a website where you can get tasks done for you for $5. Yes, five dollars. The site is called www.fiverr.com, and for more complex tasks there are sites like Vworker.com (RentaCoder) where YOU can name your price and watch people bid on your job.</p>
<p>Any part of your business can be outsourced, specially those tasks that you dislike. I use a simple formula, if it will take me more than 1 hour to complete and someone else can do it for less than $100 then I outsource it. Period. What&#8217;s your formula?</p>
