Do You Want To Read The Testimonials Or Write the Testimonials? - 4 Steps To Becoming A Testimonial Success Story!
| Category: Networking(MLM) | Date: 2001-04-27 |
Everyone always reads the testimonials when they are considering joining a marketing program, MLM, network or even an Ezine. Testimonials add credibility and a real-life touch to a sales letter! These are real people who are really doing well with the product and that makes YOU want to buy it so that you can do well also!
Testimonials are always appealing, but think about the person who wrote the testimonial. That person wrote it because he or she is doing something that is working and money is probably the benefit!
Wouldn't you like to be that person making that money?
Sure you would! Everyone wants to be that person in the testimonial who is making $200 per day in his or her first week.
Becoming a testimonial is not hard work at all. It involves working smarter and not harder! Now I know you like the sounds of that.
Smarter NOT harder!
There are basically 4 things that I can recommend you do to become the next testimonial of any product that is out there. Here they are;
1.) Pick one Super Saleable product!
2.) Advertise it to the Power People First!
3.) Use initial profits to buy KILLER ADVERTISING!
4.) Keep on growing!
That is it.
Those are the four steps that I used to grow my own online business to a network of over 500 members and 1300 affiliates.
It all started with one product and one person!
1.)Pick One Saleable Product.
Many people are out there trying to sell five different things and making barely enough money to pay the Internet bills.
IF THIS IS YOU...STOP IT!
Most people can't even make enough money trying to sell one product so what makes them think that they are good enough to sell five at a time.
That is like Johnny having trouble trying to tie one shoelace, but instead of learning how to tie one at a time, Johnny tries two at a time thinking it will work faster! Stupid isn't it?
Pick one product that you believe in whole heartedly and stick with it. Learn the product well so that you can answer any questions that are asked about it. Maybe the product is your own and that works better than anything else in the world.
One thing to keep in mind if you are going to sell someone else's product is to make sure that you pick a product that will pay out at least twice per month. There is no sense in tying up your money!
2.) Advertise It To The Power People First.
Do you think that you would have a better chance of convincing a perfect stranger or your own personal contacts to buy off you?
The first sale that I ever made was to someone that I knew personally from a prior business that I was in. He and I chatted quite a bit so I knew him fairly well. When I started my own program, I told him about it and said that if he joined, I would give him a discount. So he did.
I told him to do the same thing. Just start off by talking, or chatting to his business associates and friends about his new product that he bought from me. Guess what happened. By the end of the week, I had 12 new networked members all from one man.
During the course of that week, I continued to find and talk to other business associates, friends and even family about my new product. After all was said and done, I has profits of $200 from my own personal sign ups and over $50 from referred sign ups all in my first week.
How did I do it? I talked to people who knew me and trusted me first and I told them to do the same thing! It is so easy!
People who you associate with every day trust you more than some Joe-Blow on ICQ or in a chat room. The same product advertised to both people, will sell to the acquaintance, than the stranger.
Start off by advertising to the right power people. These are the people who know you and trust you already.
Once you have a few sales from your POWER PEOPLE, it's time to get the money rolling in!
3.) Use Initial Profits To Buy Killer Advertising.
I am not going to go into how to write Killer Advertising in this article but if you want to know, go to my site and read the first three chapters of my Ebook and you will know how to write killer advertising.
Basically once you have a small amount of capitol to work with, you are laughing. This is where a bit of work may come in. Use classified advertising to target find a killer ad and then purchase advertising in Classified Ad sites such as Classifieds2000.com with your pulling ad. Many programs will have ads that are tested that you can use already.
Also use the initial profits to buy Ezine advertising. That is a great way to get the ball really rolling. Ezine advertising is extremely powerful if you use the right ad.
Basically this step is just taking the money that you made from your Power People and buying Power Advertising with. Buying advertising will get your message out to larger number of people and this will really rake in the sales.
4.) Keep On Growing.
If you are making money with your product when advertising to paid sites and ezines, than you have a winner. The only thing left to do is to re-invest profits back into your advertising.
If 1 $20 ad pulls 3 $20 commissions, you made $40 profit. Now use that same ad but this time place 3 $20 ads
If they each pull 3 $20 commissions you are looking at 9 $20 commissions or $180 in sales and $120 in profits.
Do you see what I am getting at here? reinvesting profits will keep on growing overall products. Never stop re-investing into advertising because that is what is really making you the money.
That is really all there is to do to become a testimonial in any product line.
Pick one product, sell it to the easy people, use that money to sell to the targeting mass audiences, then re invest!
