Help, My Web Presence Sucks!

Malika Duke — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:12:47 +0000

What would you be doing right now if you had a smart looking website, matching newsletter/ezine template, with customized social media backgrounds?

What I am able to do was wake up more productive, focused totally on creating content, building relationships with people who want to share my message with the world, and serve my clients with abandon!

Before that my business came to a screeching halt when my boot-strapping technical skills limited the quantity and quality leads and prospects I attracted.

Why?

Because I had an cookie cutter template for my site, random back ground colors and images on my social networking profiles…

And you know who gets the best leads, prospects and higher sales conversions, right? That’s right: Sites with great looking web design and a savvy social media mogul as its owner.

How Were Prospects Supposed to Take You Seriously With A Disjointed Web Presence?

I didn’t quite know how to fix it on my own, realized I simply couldn’t stand the learning curve that came along with trying and clueless about who to trust when it came to pricing, quality and delivery.

Learning how to run a profitable business on the Internet is tough enough without the pain of having to learn how to build your own website or chasing a webmaster for weeks to make one tiny tweak to your banner.

Here you are having to learn all there is to know about generating leads on line, using social media, copywriting, SEO, autoresponders, etc., only to discover you have to some how put this all together on a website.

But not just any website…

You need one that:

1. Sets you apart from the ever growing competition of online experts and thought leader in your field

2. Proves your a real human being here to serve your customers clients and partners in sales.

3. But, it also has to be easy so even techno dunces (like us) can add content just in case our trusted designer bails … Again!

4. Integrates your essential social networking sites like twitter.com, youtube.com, and now, ustream.tv

5. Has crisp professional graphics and packs heavy doses of your personal style

6. Is consistent with the look and feel of your marketing, logo and brand

7. Helps you ditch the "newbie" image you have for using training wheel sites (free hosting, replicated landing page, self made/made-for-you sites that look… er, home grown)

8. Doesn’t cost thousands of dollars to get, maintain or expand

But, Unprofessional Web Presence Will Cost You Thousands In Missed, Passive Opportunities

You know you can deliver the goods when it comes to your products, services and business but who can get over the "I’m an amateur" image of your websites and profiles?

It doesn’t have to be that way for you any more my friend!

Recently I’ve teamed up with a team of the the most talented, yet best kept secrets in Internet marketing to bring my own and my clients’ tacky web presence and disjointed social networking profiles up to par with the biggest of gurus.

As a matter of fact they’ve been studying why and how better, sharper graphics and a unified web presence yield superior results for traffic and conversions.

And I’ve asked them to help me help you get your act together so you don’t get left in the dust… without braking the bank.

So, if your tired of staying up nights looking for the perfect button, banners, wordpress themes, website templates, twitter back grounds and other web presence pimping paraphernalia, only to need it modified to your taste and style anyway …

If you’re nauseated by the technical learning curve trying to do it yourself but don’t want to be taken to the cleaners by M.I.A. web designers that don’t understand Internet and direct response marketing anyway …

How to Beat Market Saturation: It’s all About Your Add-on

Malika Duke — Fri, 29 May 2009 22:26:21 +0000

It’s natural to be concerned about market saturation negatively affecting your ability to sell popular products, services and business opportunities online, then this article is for you.

One of the biggest insights I gained about making sales in competitive markets online came from a conversation that I had what I call into my hosting company with a problem with FTP (WTF!).

While on hold, I noticed that they had an option that allowed you to come a reseller of hosting service for a small monthly fee. Be the serial entrepreneur I am, I asked, Why anyone would want to do that.

"Why would anyone want to buy from me if they can just as well go directly to the parent company or other distributors and get it?"

What the agent said next me away!

The Power Of The "Add-on"

She said that it depends on my "add-on". A concept you may have heard referred to in more ambiguous terms like "giving value".

All a sudden so many questions that I had in my mind about how to promote and market popular products and services were answered.

You have to distinguish yourself from the other people were selling the same exact product.

By simply offering potential customers and prospects an add-on that was unique only to you, you will separate yourself from the rest of the crowd.

As with the hosting, I would give them a reason as to why they should get from me as opposed to anyone else including but not limited to the hosting company that actually provides the service.

What that means for you is this : Regardless of if you sell other people’s stuff (a network marketer, an affiliate marketer, direct sales) or you make your own products and services, you have hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of other people who are selling the same exact stuff as you…

You still have a chance to make more sales in your business.

If you are willing to take the time to develop your "add-on" (what you are willing to give your prospect in return for purchasing their solutions through you) you will make money even in an apparently saturated, over crowded market.

With the example of the hosting services, you’d find, create and offer an add-on that is complimentary to what you are selling. In this case it’s hosting so, some options are website creation and building, assistant with FTP & HTML, videos on how to create graphics, etc.

Now its your turn…

What would be an appropriate add-on for your current business? What add-on can you create for the products and services that you want to sell?

Here are some real ideas I’ve shared with my clients, students and partners in sales:

If you’re selling makeup a great add-on is makeup application instructions in the form of videos or audio.
If you’re selling puppies you may want to create a content as add-on on how to train it.
If your selling lotions/potions then additional free products/samples may do the trick.
Selling cars? How about a maintenance club?

Even if your product is made by hand or has unique features chances are you’re not the only person in the world that is selling it. So, even if you’re not direct sales or network marketing rep still very important for you to considered your add-on value that unique to you.

The fact is, your potential prospect can get comparable products, services and goods from just about anybody else in the world so what you need to have is your add-on that distinguishes you from the other representatives.

This is what is meant when you hear the Internet marketing trainers talk about "adding value". Winning sales and beating market saturation goes beyond who being the best or having the most ads.

Use Add-on Value to Make Money Today

So, what I’d like you to do today is look at the products and services that you have or the ones you are looking to sell and decide what you’re going to have as your add-on value. What are you willing to give (above the and beyond what you want them to buy) to your prospect to encourage them to buy through you as opposed to your competition?

Come up with at least one and start telling your list of prospective buyers about it… today!

To the top,

Re: FREAKING OUT

OK, it seems like there are more than a few people
that are "freaking out" about our launch today.

I’m not going to do some kind of "secret pressure"
tactic. In "fact," the FACTS tell the entire story:

FACT #1: Two weeks ago we started our "pre-launch"
we had ZERO people on the Interest List for this
program. Two weeks later, we have over 31,986 people
on our interest list. A record for a short pre-launch
like this one.

FACT #2: NONE of the people that are on our new
interest list are from our OWN list. Our OWN list
has 138,902 people on it - and many of them are
waiting to order as soon as we open.

FACT #3: The top marketers on the internet are
loading up to mail AS YOU READ THIS. And I’m
talking about all of the "big guns." I estimate
that there will be over 1,000,000 emails sent today
ALONE - to the most valuable and responsive lists
in internet marketing.

FACT #4: We’ve ordered only a limited number of
the DVD and Electronic Reference Manual kits to
ship out. These required so much extra work,
design, and attention to detail that THEY won’t
even be ready to ship until MONDAY. If you want one
of them, then I recommend that you order FIRST, and
ask questions later. (And remember: All the videos
and reference manuals in this package are ALSO
available in the Member’s Area - so you can start
watching and reading as soon as you register.)

FACT #5: I’m offering a "stupid-proof" no-questions-
asked refund policy. You get to try the entire
course for a month, and THEN decide if you want to
keep it. If you don’t, just ship it back to me and
I’ll give you a full refund. No questions, no
hassles.

FACT #5: This is, BY FAR, the most complete and
in-depth training course for learning how to create,
publish and sell Information Products online… and
turn yourself into a "Modern Guru"… that has ever
been created or offered. I put my name on it.

FACT #6: The investment for this program is the
biggest bargain I’ve seen in the online training
space. You’re going to be paying a fraction of what
this training would cost if you got it all elsewhere
(and it still wouldn’t be as good as our training,
because we’re light-years ahead of others with
our proven track record and experience).

FACT #7: You WANT this training program - and I
want you to have it. I’ve covered every base,
thought of every angle, made sure that you’re going
to learn EVERYTHING you need to know to launch
and grow your Information business online.

FACT #8: Just the BONUSES alone are worth
multiple times the investment for the entire program.
Wake Up Productive WILL double your productivity
in 90 days. Hopefully you read the feedback from
others who have taken the Wake Up Productive
program. If you need proof, just read THIS:

http://www.wakeupproductiveblog.com/2008/09/080910-stories.php

FACT #9: The "LEADING LAUNCHES" program is the
very first of its kind. You’re going to meet and go
behind the scenes with me… of the top product
launches in internet history… and listen as I
GRILL these guys to teach us their secrets.

I’ve learned techniques for launching products that
have made us MILLIONS of dollars in sales over
the past 18 months. Now I want YOU to learn these
secrets so you can use them for yourself.

FACT #10: The GURU Bootcamp is UNIQUE - and
you get to attend as MY GUEST.

I just added the final "home run" bonus of giving
you one ticket to the GURU Bootcamp in July. This
event alone is worth more than the tuition for the
entire GURU Home Study Course.

And if you can’t attend (or don’t register in time),
I’m going to upload the videos to your Member’s Area,
so you can watch, download, and enjoy them.

Reminder: If you want this bonus, you need to keep
in mind that it’s on a "first-come, first served"
basis (if we run out of space, we run out), and you
must stay on-site at the event hotel if you attend.

Overall, this is the most valuable package of training
that’s ever been created to teach you how to launch
and grow your Information Product "GURU" business
online.

Those are the FACTS. And I personally think that
they speak for themselves.

Here’s your link to watch the Information Video that
will go live at Noon Pacific / 3 PM Eastern. Watch it,
because it explains many details that are too lengthy
to explain here.

Looking forward to working with you in the GURU
Home Study Course!

The Making “Money With Social Media” Myth

Malika Duke — Sun, 10 May 2009 07:48:33 +0000

There is so much hype and misunderstanding about making money using social media and social networks coming from all different angles.

The same as with much of what’s out here on the Internet about making money online. It’s only natural since the market is so huge and the lure is so great that a sucker is born every minute…

Your job is to make sure that sucker isn’t YOU!

This article addresses what is really going on when you see the phrase "Guide on How to Make Money on [insert social network here]" . for some this may seem like bad news but…

You Can’t Actually Make Any Money On Social Networks

Funny thing is, there’s no "buy now" buttons on my twitter or facebook account. How about yours?

The reason for that is the only thing you can sell on social media is yourself . Could you believe it? Just plain ole’ quirky, funny, fat, skinny, foreign (or what ever you are) yet powerfully passionate you.

You sell a reason for people who can can serve to get to know you as a socially savvy business woman.

What you can do, since you can’t make any actual money (unless you own the social network) is attract people to you who have problems your products and services can solve through building relationships.

Don’t Waste Time Shouting Into A Black Hole

If no one is interacting with you on social media it’s because your messages aren’t engaging anyone. You’re probably trying too hard to follow the making money with social media myth with over promotion.

If you aren’t adding to the value of a community with educational, enlightening or engaging content, your actually polluting the entire Internet.

Social media need another sales pitch. What is needs is more people willing to trade good content about how to get thinner, be more attractive, cure their toxic relationships etc.

And When They Know How Much You Care…

Your prospects will follow your links to all any place you refer only after they know, like and trust you as the one who can best serve their needs.

You’re followers will grow on twitter and you’ll start to have more notes instead of empty friend requests on facebook and myspace.

Your entire social media experience changes when you stop focusing on pushing a links in everyone’s face. Remember, they really can’t buy anything except you.

Once They Are Sold On You

Your social media status improves, which attracts more attention and more business inquires, and strategic partnerships, website traffic etc.

And who can’t benefit from more of that?

So instead of focusing on making money with social media keep you mind on the discipline of making friends with both leaders in your industry and your potential target market.

As you get intimate with their hearts and minds then you will receive requests from people who want more information and guidance from you.

They will follow your links, share you information and recommend you to friends and associates.

How do I know?

I happens to me everyday now. When it wasn’t it was because I was trying to hard to make money and not to make friends who can benefit from getting to know me and eventually will trust my recommendations without hesitation.

To friends with benefits,

3 Reasons To Avoid Automation in Social Network Marketing

Malika Duke — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:37:35 +0000

-Thanks for following me. I look forward to connecting with you soon! –Un-Social Network Marketer

Don’t you just hate it when you follow someone on twitter or become there friend on other social networks like Facebook and you get one of those automated "thank you" or "welcome" messages?

I mean, is it really serving the purpose of building rapport and a relationship with potential customers and partners in sales?

The lure is that you can add friends and followers quickly without investing much time or effort. But, what good is having plenty of friends and contacts if no one is actually listening, and,more importantly, interacting with you?

This is a common problem with using automated canned messages in Social Network Marketing.

Here we discuss three (3) Reasons automation in Social Network Marketing may actually hurt your personal image and the image of your business.

It’s Impersonal

If your intention is to at least to appear to be a genuine person, automated messaging says to your new friend, "you’re not worth me making the effort to actually respond in person".

You not the only person using the same canned message, either. So your new friend gets 3-4 (maybe more ) similar messages a day. Your new friend soon lumps you in to a category you don’t want to be in.

A *canned* message lets your new friend know just what you think of them, "You’re not worth a personal note and I hope you’re dim enough to think you are".

I know, I know, not YOU though, right?

You actually care about people and would prefer to not send them anything at all rather than to insult their intelligence with a cut and paste message.

It’s Unprofessional

The are some instances where automation is very necessary but not in networking.

Why?

When you meet someone as an individual, your intention is to WOW them to the point where they would want to refer you to their friends as someone to get to know, trust, and buy from.

Professionals know when automation are necessary ( i.e., op-tin email marketing, e-commerce and answering machines) versus when it’s inappropriate. Networking requires actual interaction with real human beings, so automation would land in the "inappropriate" category.

Contrary to what you may have heard, social media is not about selling through that medium, its about interacting with people and giving them value to get to know more about what you have to offer.

It’s Boooo-ring!

It’s hard to be engaging and entertaining, which are two crucial elements that set you apart from your competition, by automating a "high-touch" tasks like social networking.

Creativity and individuality is more important than ever in the eyes of your customers, clients, and partners in sales.

Savvy browsers are developing a keen eye for who’s genuine and "real deal," and who is just going through the numbers game.

You’d be better off outsourcing your personality and wit to a VA, personal assistant or PR firm.

Is All Automation in Social Network Marketing Tacky?

Nope. There are great tools like tweetlater and their new product postlater that can help the perpetual poster pace themselves.

Like me, some smart marketers prefer to work in batches.

Therefore, tools that allow for future dating help to streamline marketing campaigns and promotional updates.

However, this augments, not replaces the high-touch relationship building activities like strategic friend selection/adding, commenting and networking.

The effort put forth in relationships built on a personal level, cause your friends and followers to take notice and take action on your promotions when you post them.

Isn’t that what really matters most anyway?

To smart automation,

WTF! Lame attempt To Recruit MLM Prospects

Join the forum discussion and share your 2 cents on this post>> - (5) Posts

I just had to share this skype conversation with you, that occurred a few minutes ago.

I took dude’s name out, as to not punish him publicly (and his links out so I don’t promote him) for trying to recruit the Rosetta Stone of Internet Marketing , Prospecting and Recruiting (that’ me BTW). I think this serves as a great example of "What NOT to do, while internet prospecting and networking".

Let me know if you think I was too hard on the guy…

Has SBI But Wondering If the Renegade Professional is For Her

Malika Duke — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:04:22 +0000

Hi there!

"I’ve been wondering if using something like Renegade Pro would conflict with using the SBI system. Would that be a redundant action on my part if I decided to sign up for RP? Would it be confusing? Would it divide my attentions in different directions?"

Just curious!

Peace and Joy,
~Daphne

A little background before my response: Daphne is a current SBI customer of mine already. Her website is: http://www.DreamPressTemplates.com She specializes in custom designed templates for women-owned businesses.

She also has another Wordpress powered site www.MLMRealms.com . Daphne is a self-taught PaintBrushPro and Dreamweaver professional.

She has already started to create her own info products and has started a forum, all in less than six months of us meeting one another online.

Now My WAHMswer:

To answer this question, it depends on what the goals of your business are.

I joined the Renegade Professional because I needed to refine writing skills, and I knew I wasn’t alone. I knew that if I took just one of the video trainings and it was helpful, I could recommend it to others and generate another income stream at the same time.

When I got started with the Renegade I shot up to a 3-figure monthly residual income from referring new students, and every month it grew from there. Because the Renegade Pro also integrates almost a dozen other tools (autoresponder, automated article submission services, webhosting, domain name registry, website building) provided by 3rd party services, including SBI, I also make passive sales without additional effort.

You must understand this Daphne: Your job is to learn how to sell. This means learning how to identify a need and how to find (or develop) the resources to fill that need. This also means learning how to communicate the value of investing in that solution to a specific group of thinking and feeling human beings .

When considering any course, training ,or investment in your education in salesl (based on the definition above), you should ask yourself if you believe it will help you achieve that goal or help you sharpen your skills. Refer to full article here: http://www.savvybusinessmom.com/home-business-training-reviews/buying-marketing-course-training-product/

Besides that, I quickly learned that the Renegade Professional students, as well as the SBI owners, are two of the most “clued in” groups of marketers online. I will keep my membership to both for as long as I am marketing on the Internet.

Yes, many of the concepts are the same and much of it is free. In the SBI back office, however, NONE of the tools are delivered through video, save the action guide.

Do you “need” both? Many succeed without either one, but they are the people who have either stumbled and bumbled their why through by trial- and- error, or they have paid someone (like Mike Klinger and the crew from Ren Pro) to pave the way and ease the growing pains.

I use and profit as an affiliate from both, therefore, it is not an expense for me. They are investments in income streams with a heck of an ROI (return on investment)!!

I have learned how to sell from a place of integrity, know exactly who needs what I have to offer, and how to attract them. I serve them in a way that keeps them coming back for more. As an added bonus they happily refer me to their friends!

For me, that has been my goal and I continue to refine that using what I have available from both resources.

What is your goal and where will you get the help and training to accomplish it, if you don’t already have access to it? You can always just hang with me Daphne, I’ll take good care of you if you not ready to take the Renegade plunge.

I go back to the Renegade Professional now, when I’m looking to learn something new like how to setup a rockin’ squidoo page to expand my marketing web. But, I build everything in my SBI site first, because of the tools. They work great together… for me, but neither one of these tools is for everyone .

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Malika
