Sales plan template.    As you previously discovered in part one of these series about creating an affordable sales plan template.

There are (literally) tons of hidden previously untapped marketing opportunities for both new and more advanced experienced marketers, to add additional value to their customer base, and more long term profits to their bottom lines.

How A Proven Sales Plan Template Can Add Tons More Profit To Your Bottom Line!

Case in point: remember in part one, where the more experienced marketer (in this case), it was the annual seven figure earner, strategically added one of his best market tested “OTO” (One time Only) offers, as a money making upsell offer on the back end of his low front end $29 dollar 15 set MP3 audio program.

Once you (the buyer) properly filled out your credit card info, and hit the complete my order button, you were immediately re-directed to his “OTO” offer.

There you could decide if you were going to take advantage of the special “OTO” offer, for a digital  “how to” product that normally retails for $497 dollars.

But because you wisely purchased the low front end product for $29 dollars, you could decide (right) then and there only, to invest an additional $199 dollars and save 60 % off the normal retail price.

That’s just the initial profit of phase one of his potential long term back end sales funnel.

How To Systematically Mine All The Back End Gold Of A Proven Sales Plan Template!

Let’s now turn your attention to (at least) three more incredibly lucrative strategies that (both) an inexperienced and more advanced marketer could employ to profit from a proven sales plan template.

However, before you dive head long into these three incredibly powerful (low hanging fruit) marketing strategies, you need to consider the mindset of the all too typical (short sighted) inexperienced newbie marketer.

Typically, they are extremely cash starved and don’t realize or appreciate the enormous untapped marketing opportunities available to them.

That’s why they focus on earning an immediate buck, and often times will forgo an ongoing fortune, that’s just ahead, in exchange for a short term quick buck.

Because they haven’t been properly trained to recognize true long term profit potential. With that said; let’s take a look at these three proven long term marketing strategies.

1.) Strategy # one: First off, as mentioned previously, let’s suppose the the typical newbie marketer (which) more than likely starts off marketing some type of low priced entry level affiliate product, because in the beginning of their online marketing career, they simply don’t have the necessary skills they need (yet) to create their own product or service.

And one of the best ways to maximize the long term profit potential of every sale they make, they should (immediately test) adding some type of relevant market tested paid monthly membership site on the back end of their sales process.

Because without a doubt, a certain percentage of the prospects that buy that initial low front end “how to” info product, they will most certainly want and need ongoing “how to” instructions, and the best part for you is, their more than willing to pay for it!

2.) Strategy # two: Your next form of potential long term profit could come from offering your purchasers some type of ongoing back end consulting of some kind.

For ex: since the annual seven figure earner, was selling a “how to” course on blog mastery. Quite naturally, his customers wanted him (and his savvy marketing team) to review (critique) their blogs.

Normally he’d charge $500 dollars for one hour of his time to do so.

How To Make Your Very Own Profitable Sales Plan Template Pay Off Right Now!

But now he could do one of two things. A.) He could simply outsource the entire process to one of top students and let the student charge $200 dollars per critique and the mentor just pocket $75 dollars per critique performed!

B.) Or he could offer an going blog mastery coaching program where he charges $97 dollars or X amount of dollars per month.

3.) Strategy # three: This is where the newbie marketer has to be able to see past the forest for the trees! Suppose the newbie marketer offers the seven figure earners “$500 dollar blog critique service” ( or service X) to his purchasers as part of his long term back end sales funnel.

But here’s the marketing twist, so pay close attention or you’ll miss it! let the seven figure earner keep 90-100% of the sale! Say what?

Because (ex- newbie marketer) they agree to give you personal access to their million dollar resource Rolodex!  Plus they agree to take you under their marketing wing and teach you step by step, how to consistently earn a six figure income! To begin with!

Think about it! Would you rather pick up a 25% ($100) dollar commission on every $500 dollar ” sale and continue to struggle trying to figure out how all the marketing/success pieces fit together on your own!

Hopefully, you know which choice to make! (No matter what your particular niche is.)

Internet marketing.

Successful Internet marketing doesn’t have to hard!

  (That Are Sure To Help Take Your Business To The Next Level As Well!)

So who else wants to discover three powerful things I learned about Internet marketing  from “The Sarge” David Sabados?

Recently the sarge was in a really sharing mood and decided to share three of his most closely guarded secrets as they relate to successful online marketing strategies.

First off, if your not currently familiar with the name David Sabados (aka) “The Sarge”, you should be.

Dave is a highly successful online  marketer that specializes in teaching struggling Network marketers how to be be up to 500% more successful online. (and finally stop spinning their proverbial wheels!)

Not to worry, yours truly is not trying to (back door) recruit you into any type of MLM opportunity. Nope!

It’s just Dave knows his stuff when it comes to successfully marketing any product or service online. And that’s why yours truly aggressively sought out his expertise!

(And thank goodness! He was gracious enough to share  three of his proven -hard learned- secrets to online marketing success!)

 Introducing Three Powerful Secrets I learned About Internet Marketing From The Sarge David Sabados!

First of all, “The Sarge” made it crystal clear that one of the most important, critical things that you can (and must) do in order to curry Google’s favor is; you gotta be consistent when it comes to blogging!

The more original your content, and the more often you blog, the more Google love you will receive. “Mark, it’s just that simple!” The Sarge likes to cut to the chase!

And with that said: here are the three proven online marketing secrets, “The Sarge” shared. Bare in mine, applied separately, no one proven marketing strategy is going to put you over the top.

Instead “The Sarge” strongly advocates you apply the marketing synergy approach.

Meaning- you incorporate as many as you can as consistently as you can. Testing and tracking and ultimately adjusting as you go.

Don’t wait until “the moon is in the seventh house” until you begin, at least trying to move forward.

1.) Proven secret # one: Always use “long tail keywords” to try and rank your youtube videos and or blog posts on Google.

Why you ask? Simply because, not only are these longer tails much easier to rank for but, Google is far more likely to also index your youtube video for other (relevant) long tail keywords as well.

(And be sure you use your long tail keyword in  the title of your video!)

2.) Proven secret # two: Another powerful proven strategy that “The Sarge” (both) advocates and applies to getting his own youtube videos ranked incredibly fast!

Be sure that you make your long tail keywords the first sentence in the description section of your youtube video.

The Sarge refers to this particular proven strategy as “double stacking”, and it is extremely powerful, youtube (therefore) Google absolutely love it when savvy marketers (such as) yourself employ that proven insider strategy!

So like the Nike ads suggests, “Just Do It!”

3.) Proven secret # three: the other proven strategy “The Sarge” advocates is to make sure that your video (or blog posts) always has a powerful command of some kind.

Like a powerful “Call To Action” of some kind.(Located primarily in your all important P.S.)

However, “The Sarge” cautions, “Mark, be sure your command, doesn’t seem like an actual command, just performs like one!”

Start Applying The Three Powerful Things I learned About Internet marketing From The Sarge David Sabados ASAP!

A tough task for sure. And one of the ways he suggests you inexpensively test this powerful proven marketing strategy, is by testing what’s often referred to as a “negative command.”

For ex: let’s say your targeting the ‘weight loss” crowd. Your negative command at the end of your sales letter, blog post and or youtube video might say something like:

“Unless you really okay with the fact that you’re at least 30 lbs over weight (constantly short of breath) and you’ve completely given up on ever discovering an incredibly simple, proven way to safely lose 10 lbs in the next 60 days or less! Without un healthy starvation methods!’ Then don’t bother clicking on the link below!”

If your serious about discovering the secret! The you probably won’t click!

And if your really serious about applying the three powerful secrets I learned about Internet marketing  from the sarge David Sabados!

Then you’ll take this three proven secrets to heart and get after it right now! After all, “The Sarge” is only sharing what’s work for his sites and his may enthusiastic students!

Email advertising.

is your email advertising really working?

  (Especially If Your Just Starting Out  And Money’s Extremely Tight!)

How many local offline small business owners and or service do you know that aren’t currently taking advantage of low cost high powered email advertising?

In fact, far too many offline local small business owners (unfortunately) don’t see the tremendous marketing advantage they are routinely missing out on, by now systematically utilizing inexpensive email advertising  strategies.

 How Big And Small Companies Are Not Effectively Utilizing Inexpensive Email Advertising! ( To Make At Least 25% More Long Term Profits!)

Have you ever noticed how little attention big companies actually pay to their loyal customer base?

For ex: have you ever been in a store and watched in disbelief as indifferent management and general cashiers or clerks take their sweet time before they decide to open another line? As if (somehow) it’s the paying customers who are the who are the distraction.

And have you ever bothered to phone or write a company’s Customer Service department and never even received an acknowledgement that they even got your message?

Yes, unfortunately there are some seriously tone death people in business, no matter what size the company is.

Case in point: a staggering 98% of your (online) local small business  peers are unintentionally committing the exact same critical mistake, only on a much smaller scale. How you ask?

By not actively (reading) and responding to their valued customer (and potential) customer base’s email correspondences.

This one critical long term marketing mistake is costing them a proverbial fortune in the long run.

And here’s why; if they bothered to respond to their non customers emails and converted at least 40% of them into email subscribers, then could save anywhere from 50-500%!

Because they wouldn’t constantly need to spend the outrageous 500%, in order to create that all important first time customer!

Instead, through two or three inexpensive email correspondences, they could convert that (lead) into a subscriber and now just send periodic emails, instead of constantly wasting a fortune on type setting, postcards and postage!

It’s Up To Ten Times Easier To Effectively Email Advertise When Your Responsive To Customers And Clients!

Think about it for a second, aren’t you three times more likely to consistently do business with a local offline company that actively uses low cost high powered email advertising,  if they routinely answer your emails?

As opposed to some other offline local company that doesn’t? Far too many small business owner neglect the (already fragile) marketing relationship they have with their local customer base.

And rely far too much on simply, the people coming through the door as a direct result of their more traditional advertising methods, such as local radio ads, expensive local TV and newspaper ads etc.

Not realizing that more and more of their (incredibly sophisticated) customer base is totally going digital.

How Inexpensive Email Advertising Can Help Any Serious Small Business Owner!

(Introducing Three Incredibly Simple Ways You Can Do So Right Now!)

The following five incredibly simple ways that any serious small business owner can effectively use inexpensive email to make a killing, is simply scratching the proverbial marketing surface!

Use your creative marketing juices, to spring board you into more and more profits.(And remember, since a staggering 87% of all new business start ups will fail within the first five years or less.

Most of the time because (you guessed it) expenses exceeded  revenues! But just by effectively using inexpensive email advertising, they could greatly enhance their chances of survival.

Anyway, with that said, let’s quickly take a look at how these five incredibly simple email advertising, could work  for any offline local savvy small business owner and or service provider.

1.) Strategy # one: This first inexpensive email advertising  strategy involves so good old cross promotions. For ex; suppose your offline small business is located in one of those small strip malls.

You know the type that has about five to seven other small businesses. You could make create a strategic joint venture cross promotion, where on your (once per week), you’ll need to inexpensively test, you both agree to send out special email messages to each other’s list, on your traditional slowest days of the week, season or year etc.

And alert your customers to special “new customer” only VIP discount sales event etc. You’ll both inexpensively add long term customers and clients for a fraction of the traditional costs.

2.) Strategy # two: let’s say you own a local offline clothing store, you could offer a free drawing as a way to collect your best repeat customers email and snail mail address.

And send them (either) mobile messages and or emails, alerting them to a special three day liquidation sale.

Think about it for a second, if your a small local offline clothing retailer, and you have 500 email addresses of your best repeat customers.

You only need a ten or twenty percent response rate to make a killing!

3.) Strategy # three: Any finally… This next proven email advertising  strategy, actually involves the good Texas two step marketing concept in order for to fully be appreciated.

Because first off, it doesn’t just directly involve around effective email advertsing.

Instead it (first) takes advantage of the fact that your potential customers  are kind of in a temporary captive state. Huh?

Whenever a paying customer is 30,000 feet above the ground, cruising on their way to wherever. It’s not like their going anywhere soon correct?

So why don’t the airlines that have already sank X amount of non refundable dollars into creating that valued customer.

Why not (at least) offer them two things, A.) first the opportunity to sign up some type of free drawing to win X amount of annual frequent flyers miles.

Plus, after they capture their email address, start offering special one to three day notices for special one day flights to their most frequented destinations, also offer same day discounts for any cancelled   reservations! that ones huge! Don’t you agree?

Anyway, there you have it. Three incredibly simple ways for any serious small business owner and or service provider to cash in big time, using inexpensive email advertising!

Of course it goes without saying, you’ll need a quality (not mention)  a respected and reliable paid email service provider.

And non are more respected than Aweber.

Ezine article.

Need a proven, affordable ezine article marketing strategy?

Have you ever submitted an ezine article before? And for whatever reasons, you didn’t get a gazillion syndication’s  and your opt in email list building efforts didn’t explode by 400%.

Welcome to the real world. For sure  (so called) article marketing/syndication takes lots of effort and you gotta be extremely consistent, before you see any real bankable results.

 What Every Newbie Marketer Should Know About Effective Ezine Article Submission…

However, typically what you’ll find on average (is) your typical brand new online newbie marketer, that has extremely limited resources.

They’ll often attempt at driving targeted traffic to their websites via blogging, they’ll start out really hot and heavy, and publish anywhere from five to fifteen original posts.

And perhaps submit another five to ten ezine articles to various article submission directories.

Then guess what happens next?  They pretty much fizzle out and erroneously conclude that article marketing doesn’t work.

But here’s a question for you. Have you ever loaned a friend or family member money? And whether they paid you back or not.

Would it be a stretch to go around telling people that your in the banking industry?

The point is, until you really know and understand exactly what it takes to make this incredibly powerful (long term) marketing strategy work, your ezine article submission strategy might fall flat.

You probably won’t be successful attempting to use this particular (highly sophisticated) marketing strategy.

Five Keys To Make Any Ezine Article Content Up To 25% More Effective!

First and foremost, you must know and understand that at least 85% (or more) of the top online marketers actively use (long term) ezine article submission strategies, but it’s simply one of the fastest, (not to mention) safest most effective ways to generate high quality back links.

The major search engines (like) Google, love to see your articles being submitted via blog networks (and or) through highly respected article submission sites, such as ezine articles dot com or article city dot com etc.

With that said; let’s now focus on the five simple keys to making your ezine article submissions up to 25% more effective.

(FYI: There is one particular caveat that you need to be aware of; the top marketers that effectively use massive ezine article  marketing submission strategies, typically have their own marketing submission teams that specialize in social bookmarking, posting in blog networks etc.

Sometimes they outsource all of these ongoing activities, or if they’re just starting out, they do them themselves. So don’t erroneously conclude that you can make all these miracles happen overnight, without a ton of consistent effort.

The other thing is, of course you realize these five proven tips, are merely an effective start of your (long term) proactive approach to a successful ezine article  submission strategy.

Ever Seriously Thought About Using Your Brand As A Brand?

1.) Tip # one: One of the very first things you have to do is spend some quality time upfront doing effective keyword research.

This way you strategically target the correct long tail keyword phrases that will get your content ranked on Googles 1st or 2nd page relatively fast.

Which means (entrepreneur) you need a really good paid keyword research tool, like Market Samuria. ( Just between the two of us, this is one incredibly powerful piece of software, that should definitely be a part of your keyword research marketing arsenal.)

2.) Tip # two:  The next thing you must do is, concentrate on consistently creating good high quality content that your readers want to read about.

Because it helps them solve their major problems. And it compels other (highly visible) influential ezine article publishers to want to syndicate (share)  your problem solving ‘how to’ content with their valued readership.

And the more influential ezine publishers that syndicate your content, the more high quality back links you’ll generate.

Your Ezine Article Marketing Strategy Needs To Be Consistent In Order To Effective!

3.) Tip # three: Remember this powerful key point that too often gets overlooked by the typical newbie online marketer that’s attempting to use article marketing for the very first time; don’t waste time trying to be creative, instead concentrate on what problems are nagging your niche market.

Then focus your (all important) keyword research on finding low hanging fruit keywords that you can build content around.

4.) Tip # four: Publish fresh problem solving (interesting) content to your personal (mobile responsive) WordPress blog, plus submit to the various ezine article submission sites often.

That way you’ll obtain expert status and your content will be given preferential treatment.

5.) Tip # five: And finally, don’t be afraid to re-purpose your written content into other forms of media content such as short ‘how to’ video content and audio podcast as well.

Hopefully You Do Realize Tons Of Incredibly Successful Brands Still Use Some Type Of Proven Content Marketing Strategy? ( Right?)

All this additional activity will make it up to 300% easier to find your content.

And that’s how you make your ezine article  submission strategies up to 25% more effective. No matter what your current niche market is.

Sales plan template.

My friend what you need is a proven sales plan template.

  (To Make Lots And Lots Of Money!)

Is your current sales plan template  masquerading as a marketing strategy? Meaning- are you desperately trying in vain  to get massive results from a train wreck of a wimpy (totally inadequate) sales plan template?

If that’s you, listen up. It doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, let the following true story inspire (and motivate you) to bigger and brighter results.

Three Incredibly Simple Ways To Turn A Proven Sales Template Into Outrageous Long Term Profits!

As was previously mentioned, the following proven sales template, is based on actual events.

The (real) name of the super successful seven figure earner is being withheld for privacy reasons only. As your probably already aware, most successful marketers such as yourself, consistently invest in proven quality “how to” educational products and services.

And yours truly, is no exception.

Recently, one of my annual seven figure earning marketing/success coach mentors, recently released a set of audio programs, designed to help improve your all important mindset.

Because as he so astutely pointed out, until you get it right between your left and right ear, nothing else matters!

This audio program normally retails for $199 dollars.  However, because he’s so convinced that the people that really need to hear them, will probably find (yet another) convenient excuse not invest in the program.

(So  here’s what he did to combat all those totally lame excuses!)

1.)  Strategy # one: He (strategically) slashed the price to just a measly  $29 dollars, or 86% off the normal retail price! For an extremely limited time of course!

Without a doubt, that simple marketing ploy (initially) jump started his front end sales funnel. But that’s not all. (Because any run of the mill marketer can simply reduce the price of some product or service.)

How To Turn This Proven Sales Plan Template Into A Perpetual Money Maker! (For Peanuts!)

Here’s where this annual seven figure earners (true) marketing genius totally shines. Notice what he and his savvy marketing team did next.

2.) Strategy # two: As soon as you filled out all of your valid credit card information (correctly), because a few five fingered mistakes, caused yours truly to have to do it twice!

As soon as you hit the place my order button.

You were immediately sent to one of his best market tested “OTO ( one time only) offers. It offered yet another “how to” product that normally retails for $497 dollars!

But, because you just purchased product A, you could get it for just $199 dollars! A savings of 60%! Here’s what you need to pay close and careful attention to!(So listen up!)

Did you  notice how, this savvy astute marketer (leaped) from a low front end product of just $29 dollars, up to offering another one (strictly on) an “OTO” offer basis, for $199 dollars!

As is customary, he hasn’t released his final sales numbers yet, for this particular promotion.

However when he does, you can bet, that that proven more expensive add on sale (upsell) of a more expensive (digital) product, put anywhere from an additional 20-60% (or more) gross profit in his pocket!

So what’s the aha (brainstorm) marketing message that you should take away from this ‘behind the curtain look” into this super successful seven figure earners proven sales plan template?

3.) Strategy # three: Basically two incredibly powerful marketing lessons.

A.) First: Even if you don’t have any other viable product(s) or service(s) to offer your valued customer base, (on the all important back end of your sales funnel) after you make your (hard fought) initial  first sale!

Asap, find yourself someone (perhaps) one of your favorite successful marketing mentors and immediately start inexpensively (testing) offering one of their more expensive problem solving products or services, as one of your upsell back end products or services, to your valued customer base, right at the point of purchase.

Be sure you test it by offering it on an “OTO” basis. Because you’ll be amazed how many additional sales that you’ll make, by leveraging your success coach/ marketing mentors proven sales plan template.

B.) And finally.. Keep your  eyes open, because as you start to become a better more experienced (and successful) marketer in your own right.

You will start to notice tons of previously untapped marketing opportunities, where you can add your more expensive product (preferably a digital one) or service to another less experienced (and less) successful marketers back end sales funnel and leverage yourself for peanuts!

And that my friend, is just a small sample of the type long term profits available to you.

Once you start to implement a proven sales plan template.  No matter what your particular niche is.

As always, if you got any value out of this post, please Digg or tweet this.Thanks! And be sure you grab your explosive free 22 step small business marketing idea kit series.
