In a Biz op or doing Affiliate Marketing? 5 SHOCKING REASONS why you aren’t getting any leads.

By Sandi Hunter

1. You are promoting a website and not a Landing Page, also known as a Squeeze page.

To generate leads you need an eye-popping landing page. It’s exactly what it sounds like. You promote your landing page, people LAND on it, see your offer and provide you with their contact info so they can get more details on what you offer. Your standard website simply can’t accomplish this effectively, usually websites are too busy, to generic, too "professional." In contrast a landing page SCREAMS benefit! It tells readers what they will get (SOMETHING AWESOME) but they must act now! Landing pages are FILLED with benefits, short punchy copy that gets attention. Landing pages include a limited time offer, they include a form that needs to be completed in order to get the offer. Guess what you are doing with that lead form? YES! You are generating a LEAD, and getting the follow up info you need to provide the requested material/product, then follow up, and build your house list for sending future offers to that person. Did you catch that last part about list building? I slipped that in an the end, but it is IMPORTANT. A Landing Page must ALWAYS ALWAYS give readers the option to SUBSCRIBE to your newsletter/or future offers. You’ve worked hard to generate that lead so do your best to offer them the chance to receive future offers or mailings from you.

2. Your promotional copy is boring and dull.

In case you haven’t noticed you’ve got oodles of competition out there. The web is filled with gizmos and gadgets. Your copy needs to get noticed or it will die a quick death in the email trash folder. Whether your offer is an email offer, or a landing page, or an online post, you have got to lead with a powerful headline, and follow that up with copy that keeps people reading. Most affiliate companies provide you with excellent copy or banners for promotion. Don’t try to rewrite something better if that is not your strong suit, use what they provide, copy, paste send. Simplify.

3. You haven’t made an offer.

If you want to get leads you MUST, MUST, MUST make an offer. Whatever your pitch is REWARD the person reading it for taking action – NOW – TODAY – in the next 24 hours! Instill excitement and a sense of urgency. You’ve got a great product or offer right? You don’t want people clicking off any moving on to something else. You want and MUST get people to read and RESPOND to your offer. Give them reasons to do so. Don’t know what to offer? Check for online products and affiliates that include Private Label and resell rights, if they do you can use those as leverage in your offers. By adding these you can convert a luke-warm offer into one that is HOT, HOT, HOT.

4. You aren’t marketing in the right places to the right people.

A lot of people new to online marketing make the mistake of spending money on advertising or leads that never produce results. Taking shortcuts and buying mass leads or mass lists simply doesn’t work. I am going to say that again. If you think you will generate QUALITY leads by buying mass lists, visitors, subscribers or hits, stop right now. Sorry to tell you the harsh truth, but building an online business means finding the best places to advertise that target YOUR market. Hint: Google is NOT the place to start if you have a small budget. In the business opportunity market you will want to look at Safelist marketing, Traffic Exchanges, Solo Ads, Ad Swaps, and email marketing providers like Aweber and GetResponse. Your budget for online promotion doesn’t have to be huge but you will get the best results with paid ads at reputable sources. Do your homework.

5. You are so busy copy, pasting and promoting you have forgotten one of the most important rules in business.

Personality can make all the difference. Connecting with people is the key to making sales. In your zest to build your online business, don’t forget to be a REAL PERSON. Include your name, email address, skype number, facebook etc on your ad copy to provide people with assurance that you are more than a promoter, you are an online business owner. Anything you can do to stand out and separate yourself from all the other offers out there helps.

BIG Round of Applause For Worldprofit Platinum VIP Member and MONITOR, Brian Armstrong

A big round of applause for Monitor and Loyal Platinum VIP Member..

BRIAN ARMSTRONG

Brian is a long time friend to Worldprofit — and he’s YOUR friend too! Here’s WHY.

He volunteers as a MONITOR to help make you sales!

He made a sale TODAY for Kathleen Ayers

AND

He made a sale TODAY for Linda Elze

Brian, like ALL of our dedicated Monitors greets the Associates you refer and makes them a TERRIFIC offer to upgrade.

NOBODY can make the offers we do here at Worldprofit.

We can do so because we ‘ve been in business for over 20 years and have built up dozens of traffic and goodies that we can dish up to close sales.

Is anyone else helping you close sales like this?

Is anyone else making offers to YOUR referrals to earn YOU commission.

It’s only possible at Worldprofit.

THANK YOU BRIAN and THANK YOU to all our fine Monitors for stepping up to fill those hours.

Monitoring is the BEST way to earn as you learn about growing an online business.

Monitors enjoy nice perks like CASH bonuses for sales, free traffic, discounted renewal offers, and more.

Interested in joining our Monitor Team?
We’d love to hear from you.
Just submit a SUPPORT FORM (the link is on the TOP MENU) and say "HEY tell me about being a Monitor?

–>>> If you have already expressed an interest and we have sent you your instructions, please LOGIN and ask the Monitor on Duty if you can come up for some training.

Common Questions and answers about Worldprofit from our Support Department

worldprofitprofile_logo8

Here’s a sampling of common questions heard at Worldprofit and the answers for the benefit of all Members.

Question: Is George’s Friday training recorded?

Answer: Yes. The weekly LIVE Home Business Bootcamp training sessions by George Kosch are recorded and posted within 24 hours to the TRAINING section of your Worldprofit Member area. The training section is linked on the TOP MENU.

Question: Why do you keep harping on us to get a GMAIL account?

Answer: We receive an UNBELIEVABLE number of help requests from people who did not receive important emails including: DOMAIN NAME RENEWAL notices, notices of an account or service EXPIRING, notice of a PAYPAL commission payment and so on and so on. When we check, we notice they are not using a Gmail address. Many providers filter or block email sometimes without you even realizing it. In our experience we find the delivery rates of Gmail to be FAR SUPERIOR to any other email provider thus we recommend our members get a free Gmail account for doing business online. Spam and filters are a fact of life, but you need to be responsible for managing your email and that includes knowing how to check your spam folder. Don’t risk losing your domain name, or miss a prospect inquiry, or lose a payment notice, or lose services because you didn’t get the email.

Question: I’m busting my butt promoting, and you keep telling me to watch some video. Why?!

Answer: When we receive help requests from our Members we review the request carefully then we review the member’s account. In doing so we often note that the person has not started the bootcamp training lessons, therefore they have a ZERO understanding of the basics required to earn money online in our system. In every single Friday training and in all our help materials we urge ALL Members to start the training and progress through the lessons. This training is critical to your success. George Kosch has recorded TWO BEGINNER HELP Videos for our members. When we receive a ticket that makes it clear the person has not watched those videos, or has not understood the content, or isn’t doing what has been taught, we direct them back to watch the videos again. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand some very basic key concepts. We base this on our 20 years of experience helping people with various levels of ability learn how to earn online and on the fact that we actually DO ourselves what we teach you to do. In learning any new skill you need to master the basics before you can progress. You’ve got to learn how to crawl before you can run.

Question: How do I know how much money I made this month?

Answer: Your Worldprofit Member area includes a section that has your monthly commission reports. On left menu select SALES and COMMISSION then click on Commission Report. There you will also find information on how and what you earn money on, how much, when you are paid out, and how to earn bonuses up to $1,000 for new Sales Volume. When you make a Worldprofit sale, our system also emails you this information.

Question: What’s the benefit of upgrading from Silver to Platinum VIP Membership?

Silver members earn a lower rate of commission then do Platinum VIP Members and receive basic business products and services. Platinum VIP Members are considered our elite members and they also receive a number of additional software programs, traffic injections, lead tools, webcast software, an autoresponder and more. A comparison of the two memberships is in the SALES and COMMISSIONS section referred to above, select MEMBERSHIP COMPARISON.

Question: I don’t have any time for doing promotions, isn’t there an easier and faster way to make money?

Answer: If you don’t have time to learn how to market online, and you don’t have time to build your business and make sales by promoting various products and services, then you will not make money. It’s that simple. ALL sales online and off in ANY BUSINESS involve the promotion of a product or service to generate leads and sales. At Worldprofit we teach you how to build your online business, (any business) for long term ongoing profit. The road to steady online income is paved with your own hard work, determination, patience and the training and support offered at Worldprofit.

Question: Can I apply my commission toward my monthly membership payment?

Answer: Yes. Just submit your request to our Worldprofit Support team, 48 hours PRIOR to your payment due date.

Common Mistakes Made by Newbies that lead to failure in your online business.

In nearly 20 years of business, Worldprofit’s Support Team has answered THOUSANDS of Support tickets from our Members.  We watch some people succeed while others do not.  Some get this business right away, others take longer. We feel our job in our Home Business Training is to get you on the right path early and keep you there.  We want you to be Worldprofit Members for life, not for 30 days.  Our goal is to help you make money online and guide you to the tasks that will put you on the road to profit. 

You may wish to print this and post it near your computer. It’s very easy to get distracted and lose focus, hopefully having this information at your finger tips will put you on the path to being one of our Top Sellers.

Common Mistakes made by New Worldprofit Members

1. Never starting the online training levels and never attending a LIVE Bootcamp Training Session. We have 8 basic lessons to get you on track and 50+ more with advanced learning topics. The focus of each and every one of these lessons is to help YOU learn what to do to make money online.  To add to your learning opportunities, each week Bootcamp Instructor, George Kosch provides LIVE training for nearly two hours. This live training allows you to ask questions, watch on screen as George Kosch shows the exact steps you need to generate leads, build traffic and make money.  We record this training so it can be watched when convenient for our Members, or re-watched for review purposes.    The Top Sellers in Worldprofit attend the training, if YOU want to be a top seller you must attend the training – then DO what it taught.

-To see the Summary of ALL the lessons in the Bootcamp Training, on left menu select HOME BUSINESS BOOTCAMP then select BOOTCAMP LEVEL SUMMARY.
-To know the date and time of the next LIVE Home Business Bootcamp Training, check the MESSAGE BOARD when you login, you will see this at the top of the page.

2. Fiddling with their site to make it “prettier and perfect”.  All Silver and Platinum VIP Members get a website included in the Membership. The site we provide is designed specifically to generate leads and is fine just as it is.  Yes, you do have the ability to change it, add code, affiliate programs, etc but don’t spend a huge amount of time on this.  You came into our program to make money. Please understand that it’s the TOOLS,  RESOURCES and ADVERTISING included in your Member area that is going to generate your traffic and your earnings.  For those of you who are taking the TRAINING mentioned in Mistake # 1 you should now  understand this.    When you first join Worldprofit, leave your site as it is for now. Make some money using the resources we offer and when you are a more experienced marketer THEN start modifying your site.

3. Promoting your website and NOT the Landing Pages. If you have been following the training you would understand why you should NOT be promoting your website and SHOULD BE promoting the Landing Pages. You would know how to find the Landing Pages and you would know where to promote them.  If this is a surprise to you do this. In your Member area, on the top menu, select TRAINING, then  watch the very first video posted there. It says: “BOOTCAMP MUST WATCH VIDEO FOR BEGINNERS.”  Landing Pages have ONE purpose: to get you Associates and build your optin mailing list.  George explains this along with where to promote these Landing Pages so you get Associate sign ups and this leads to sales!

4. Not understanding how the Worldprofit System works. OK, I know I sound like a broken record here, but this is so very important.  If you have been doing the Bootcamp Training Lessons you should understand how our system works. Here’s a summary in it’s most basic form.

As a Member, you use the tools and resources we provide to sign up free Associate Members into the Worldprofit Program.  When those Associates login they are greeted by our Monitors. The Monitors assist the Associates to watch a video overview of our program, then make them an offer to encourage them to upgrade from a free Associate Membership to a paid Silver Membership. If YOU referred that Associate and they upgrade YOU get the commission.    Are you starting to see how important YOUR promotion efforts are, and how very important the Monitors are to you?  DRIVE traffic – and let the system work for you.  Of course our system offers you much more than this including other sources of income but this is the basic process that you need to understand when you are first getting started.

5. Not doing the Promotion. So you have watched the Basic Training video right?  You have attended or watched a recording of George Kosch’s bootcamp training?  What does George say over and over and over again?  You MUST promote consistently to see results.   We provide you with the tools to promote, the places to promote and a way to track your promotion.  To see results you MUST promote consistently to trusted sites.  In your Member area under ADVERTISING/TRAFFIC section on the left menu you will find the Landing Pages, the Safelists, The Exchanges, the Advertising Aids, the free promotion sources, and the Ad Tracker. We have lessons on each of these topics as well to assist with your understanding.   For people new to doing business online you are sometimes amazed at how much promotion you must do to get results. This is a reality of ANY business, you must constantly promote to reputable places to get traffic and see sales.  The good news is that you are not on your own. We provide you with a list of recommended places, advertising aids, and stats trackers to monitor your results. The rest is up to you, it’s your job to do the promotion, every day if possible.  Your sales success is 100% dependent on your promotional efforts.

6. Not asking for help when you need it. We want to cry when a new Member says after a week in our program, “I want to quit, I am not getting any help.” Worldprofit’s Support Team is here to help YOU, 7 days a week, 365 Days a Year.  We have a 24 hour Member access filled with videos, screen captures and step-by-step instructions. We have a LIVE weekly training session every week free to all Silver and Platinum VIP Members.  We have a 24 hour Monitor Network, real people ready ALL the time to help close your sales.  Sandi Hunter, George Kosch work alongside you every day to help you build your business.  Take responsibility for yourself. If you need help, submit a Support Form. We want to help you succeed and are happy to provide assistance.  Your Membership includes all kinds of support and training so take advantage of this.
