8 Easy Steps to Doubling Your Online Profits By Next Month
By © Harmony Major
Everyone wants to make REAL money online.
Now, with this easy to follow strategy, you can. Be sure not to skip any
steps, and if all goes well, you'll be well on your way to doubling your
online business income every month ... hopefully by next month!
1. Find a high-profit product or service
to sell.
You want to find a product that makes you
at least $25 in net profit per sale. Even though you can promote your own
lower profit product (if you have one), in order to create the highest
income in the least amount of time, it's best to start out with a higher-profit
product.
2. Make a list of 20 ezines in your niche
with 1,500 subscribers or more.
I don't need to tell you to target the
ezines as much as you can and only consider opt-in lists. You're smart;
you know that.
You won't be using all of these ezines
now, but having the list ready will save you eons of time later on. You'll
be following this plan over and over, and don't want to waste time hunting
for quality ezines every time you implement it.
By the way, you want to make a list of
larger circulation ezines (1,500 or more) for the fastest and highest response
to your ad.
3. Place 10 top sponsor ads in 10 of the
ezines on your list.
Choose 10 of your list of 20 ezines to
advertise in this time around. If you have a strict ad budget, keep that
in mind when deciding which to use first. Place as many ads in the higher
circulation OR the most targeted ezines that you can afford.

4. Stick with ezines that are published
frequently -- but not TOO frequently.
I've found that most daily ezines with
a similar circulation as less frequently published ezines actually generate
LESS of a response. This seems to be because, if readers get a certain
ezine every day, they generally pay less attention to the ads. On the other
hand, if readers are forced to wait every two weeks for their favorite
ezine, they'll likely savor each issue -- right down to the last drop!
(Oops, I mean the last ad.) ;-)
So, for this plan, try to advertise in
ezines that aren't published any more than once a week. Even though there
are
exceptions, it's best to stick to this strategy initially.
5. Calculate your 'cost' per sale.
Let's say a sponsor ad in ezine #1 costs
$100. Divide the cost of the ad ($100) by the number of sales generated
from that ad (10) to get your 'cost' per sale ($10). Each sale generated
from ezine #1 cost you $10.
Now, let's say a sponsor ad in ezine #2
cost only $85. Divide the cost of the ad ($85) by the number of sales generated
from that ad (3) to get your "cost" per sale ($28.33). OUCH! Each sale
generated from ezine #2 cost you $28.33!
Do this for each of your 10 ezine ads that
ran this month.
6. Calculate the return on investment from
each ad.
I know, I know. This isn't Algebra! Don't
worry, we'll only be doing a few more minor calculations. ;-)
Even though the ad in ezine #2 APPEARS
to have cost less, you actually paid a heck of a lot MORE for each sale
it generated. Assuming your product only nets you the bare minimum of $25
per sale, you actually LOST money on the ad placed in ezine #2.
[($25 x 3) = $75 (- $85) = -10!]
Ezine #1 was clearly a better investment.
Although that ad required a larger up-front investment than ezine #2, your
cost per sale was lower, and your profit was higher! [($25
x 10) = $250 (- $100) = $150 PROFIT]
7. Remove the five ezines that generated
the least profit, and replace those with five new ezines from your list
of twenty.
As soon as all your ads have run and you've
calculated the profit from each, place your ad again in the five ezines
that generated the highest return on investment, and throw out the other
five. Replace those with five new ezines from your list of twenty, and
repeat the ad placement process.
NOTE Use THE SAME AD in all of the ezines,
ESPECIALLY the five that initially brought you the highest return on investment.
Run that ad in those five ezines until your response begins to wane. Then
and ONLY then, tweak the ad to enhance your response.
8. Re-invest your profit into more advertising!
Every month, use 50% of last month's ad
profits for placing MORE ads. You don't have to use the money for ezine
advertising, but why change what's already working? As long as you remember
to re-invest 50% of your profits each month into more advertising, your
profits will continue to climb.
Think of it this way The more you spend,
the more you MAKE! Just be sure to use a system similar to this one, so
you're constantly tracking your responses, calculating your return on investment,
and spending that money on advertising that you KNOW will work.
In conclusion...
Seems TOO easy to work, doesn't it? Think
again. Sometimes the most effective means of promotion are the easiest
to carry out, and are right under our noses. A lot of excellent, money-making
promotional methods are commonly overlooked for that reason. Don't let
this one pass you by! Use it, use it again, then use it some more.
This works!
