The 7 Lost Secrets
Secret 1: The Right Market
This is one of the most important secrets to your work at home moms’ online business. The right market must be popular (meaning there is demand), penetrable (meaning it’s not too competitive) and profitable (people are willing to buy).
To research the popularity, you can use keyword tools like The Dowser keyword research tool, Good Keywords tool or Wordtracker to research the demand and supply in your market.
Check out the publications in your local bookstores as well. If there are recurring advertisements in a publication over months, chances are that the advertiser is making money and there is demand for whatever they are selling.
Also, your market has to be “rabid” and “illogical”. They must be willing to spend.
Secret 2: The Right Products
People come online to search for a solution to their problems. Hence it is crucial to “give them what they come online to search for”. You should also conduct a market survey to find out what people want.
Secret 3: The Right System
One of the biggest mistakes that affiliates make is sending their traffic direct to the merchants’ website. If you do so, all your marketing efforts can be considered to be wasted. The recommended way to follow is to create an opt-in page to capture pertinent information such as the first name and email address of your website visitors before you redirect them to the merchant’s webpage. With the leads captured, you could always follow up with them and build a relationship.
Secret 4: The Right Message
An oft-quoted phrase in internet marketing is this, “The money is in the follow up.”
Build a relationship with your list of subscribers and you will be sure to generate tons more commissions through helping them.
