By Sandi Hunter Worldprofit offers an earn at home training program that includes LIVE interactive weekly training supplemented with a series of online training lessons. Put simply, we teach you how to market online step-by-step and earn commission when sales are made. Internet marketing is new to most people. So that you understand how to market ANY product online it’s important that you understand the basics of promotion.

Worldprofit’s training teaches you actual tested, proven and effective methods to market online. We provide you the services to sell including ads for posting, places to advertise, and software to evaluate the results of your advertising. Worldprofit offers a "multiple streams of income" model meaning that you can earn commission from a number of sources and vendors, not just Worldprofit. To make it easier for newbies, we have simplified the basic training so Members can graduate from the basic bootcamp training by making a least ONE SALE of a Silver Membership. Once you have graduated from Worldprofit’s Bootcamp basic training you can progress into the advanced training with more complex marketing concepts, and apply the skills acquired to market any online business, product, or affiliate program. The skills you learn in the training and the software and traffic we provide can be used to PROMOTE any online business, or affiliate program.

Think of it like riding a bike. We teach you to ride one bike, then you can apply the cycling skills you’ve acquired to master cycling on ANY kind of bike. Your Worldprofit member area is packed with tools, software and resources to help you build your own successful online business. If you don’t follow our training though, you won’t know how to use those resources to your maximum benefit. The following guidelines are to keep you on the right track to understand both WHAT you are doing and WHY you are doing it. Sometimes when we learn a new skill we don’t immediately see how a simple step can lead to the desired goal. Being adults learners we like to look for short cuts to save time. Having been in this business, over 20 years now we like to think we know a thing or two about online marketing that newbies don’t know. We’ve packaged our expertise and experience into Worldprofit’s popular Home Business Bootcamp. We urge you to follow the training lesson by lesson so you can understand why learning to be a profitable marketer requires understanding some very important basic concepts. These are the 3 absolute MUSTS for new marketers in Worldprofit’s earn at home training program.

1. You must follow and stick to the Home Business Bootcamp Training lessons.

2. You must understand WHAT to promote, WHERE to promote and HOW to promote.

3. You must understand the CRITICAL IMPORTANCE of consistent promotion to generate continuous leads (ASSOCIATES) while growing your email marketing list. What to do next.

1. In your Member area you will find the Home Business Bootcamp Training program created over the last 20 years by marketing expert and cofounder of Worldprofit, George Kosch. When you login to your Member area, scroll down the page and there you will see the Bootcamp Training Lessons. There are TWO videos recorded especially for NEW MEMBERS, watch those. Really watch them. Don’t skip. Don’t daydream. Listen to what George Kosch is teaching you. It is essential that you master the most basic of the skills in order to move on.

2. Get a pad of paper or a spiral bound notebook and a pen. Write down notes as you listen to those videos. When George provides instruction about joining Safelists and Exchanges, and you actually start doing this, WRITE DOWN the Safelists and Exchanges you join along with your User Name and Passwords. When you are first getting started just join at least ONE Safelist and ONE Traffic Exchange so you understand what they are and how they work.

3. When you are posting Ads to the Safelists and Exchanges, use the AD EXAMPLES (landing pages) we provide in your Member area. It doesn’t matter which one you use, just get started so you see how to promote landing pages. Now, you may think the above is simple but now we share WHY you are doing this. A. Leads are generated from LANDING PAGES and NOT from your website. You should only promote LANDING PAGES to the Safelists and Exchanges. You MUST understand this. Your goal is to generate Associate sign ups, daily if you can. The reason you promote landing pages is because you will see a HIGHER conversion of leads (Associates) into actual sales. B. When you sign up leads (free Associate members) you are ALSO building your email marketing list. Every successful marketer understands that you must have email marketing lists, the bigger the better, the more the greater profitability you will enjoy. The reason is because you then have access to a LIST of prospects who you can send offers. Offers produce sales! That’s money in your pocket. When you sign up Associates (leads) using the Landing Pages, you are building your own LIST of Associates. This is your first list! This is your first list of buyers! PLUS, when you sign up Associates they also receive a newsletter from Worldprofit that we send on your behalf filled with offers and incentives to get them to login to their Member area to see what Worldprofit offers. Those who upgrade from a free Associate membership to a paid Silver Membership get FULL privileges and access to our training – and YOU earn a commission. As you become a more experienced marketer you learn from the more advanced training other ways to build your Associates list, and other kinds of email marketing lists too. When you have your own email marketing list you have a ONE CLICK method to make money. Send out an offer to your list and you generate sales! This is covered in more detail in the training, the purpose of telling you this now is only to help you understand the IMPORTANCE of list building.

Think of your email marketing list as a LIFE Insurance Policy for your business. In the course of your lifetime as a online marketer you may change programs, or opportunities over a dozen times or more. Successful marketers promote more than one program at any given time. Your businesses may change but your list STAYS with you. If you are no longer involved with Program XYZ, your list is still there ready to receive your promotions when you move on the program ABC. If you stop promoting Widget123 and start promoting Widget5000, your list is still there! As long as you have a list of prospects you have a list of potential BUYERS. The bigger you grow your list over time the more potential buyers you have! We talk to people every day who tell us they have been doing business online for years yet SHOCKINGLY many of those people didn’t know what a list was, or why they needed one until they started Worldprofit’s Bootcamp training. When they figure it out they are kicking themselves in the butt for not having started a list years ago.

Every time they start a new program or opportunity they are starting over again from scratch without a lead, without a list of buyers. OUCH! That hurts in the wallet. Those who do have some understanding of what a list is don’t know what to promote, or don’t know how to find an email marketing service. That’s where Worldprofit comes in. Our training teaches you this stuff, fills in the missing pieces so your business is complete and sustainable for YEARS to come. We understand that an online business is ALIVE, you must feed it, keep it GROWING over time. We at Worldprofit, want to be the company that continues to provide you the cutting edge tools, and resources to keep YOUR business growing profitably for years to come. We hope this helps you understand WHY we ask you to follow the steps of the bootcamp to learn and apply the skills. The small things we teach you lead you to a much bigger picture. These skills are the stepping stones for the foundation of your successful online business.

Ok, to recap. Your GOAL is to PROMOTE the LANDING PAGES so you generate Associate sign ups and build your list. Now, let’s talk about Worldprofit’s Live Business Center (LBC) and how that’s working for you. This unique Worldprofit ONLY service operates 24 hours a day. The LBC is manned by a team of people called MONITORS who volunteer their time to help members of our community makes sales while they themselves learn about online marketing. No other company offers you this kind of sales closing assistance. Think about it. Your job is to PROMOTE and generate Associate sign ups. When people sign up to be a free Associate member from one of your landing pages they are AUTOMATICALLY directed to the Live Business Center. Then our LIVE Monitors greet those people and make them an offer to upgrade to Silver membership. If you remember, when you first joined Worldprofit you likely went through the same process. You found yourself in the LIVE BUSINESS CENTER, one of our Monitors or Dr. Lant made you an offer and you upgraded to Silver Membership! This system operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You refer people and we try and close your sales. Now not everyone will upgrade, that’s a fact. But some people will and when they do you earn a commission.

That’s why it’s SO important that you work hard consistently to PROMOTE so you have a steady supply of Associates coming in to the LIVE BUSINESS Center. If you don’t refer anyone we have no one to close for you! We can’t convert nothing into something! The more people you refer by using the promotional tools we give you, the greater the conversion rate from free Associate members to paid Silver members. You only get paid when someone upgrades to Silver Membership so that is why you want GOOD quality leads! Our training teaches you how to get those good quality leads, real people, not computer-generated fake leads.

Now let’s talk about your advertising and evaluation of your promotions. Not all advertising is equal. To help you out we have compiled a list of recommended Safelist and Exchanges for free or low cost advertising as well as some recommended paid sources for solo ads, login ads, and swaps. We also have an advertising co-op popular with our Members called FastTrack where we buy the advertising and send the leads to those Members in the co-op. It’s called FastTrack and details are in your Member area under ADVERTISING/TRAFFIC section. We do not want you to get ripped off by buying fake leads, or buying mass lists, so please use the recommended sites noted above they are located in the ADVERTISING/TRAFFIC section. To also help you, we have provided an AD TRACKER tool and included it in your Membership. George talks about the Ad Tracker in the training. Post your ads then check your Ad Tracker to see what kind of results you are getting. George advises for those just getting started to set a goal for at least 200 clicks per day on your links. That’s a MINIMUM so if you have been at this a while set your goal for daily clicks higher than that.

If you are not using the Ad Tracker to evaluate your promotion you are advertising in the dark. Speaking of goals, let’s focus on your Associates. We’ve talked about why Associate are so important. We’ve talked about list building. Let’s talk now about setting goals for how many Associates you have. Remember, the Associates you refer go on your ASSOCIATES list and in your Prospect Manager for easy follow up. When you first start, set a goal of signing up ONE Associate a day. When you sign up an Associate and they login, you will KNOW as our system sends you an email. Now if that person does not upgrade to Silver Membership don’t despair. It’s a tough business, but YOU are determined, and YOU are going to keep promoting, keep signing up Associate members from those landing pages. Be assured that as long as YOU are promoting to get Associates signed up, we are waiting in the LIVE Business Center to make your referrals an offer. We want to earn their business just as we did yours. Don’t you feel better just knowing that all you have to do is promote? You don’t have to close the sales, or make a sales pitch, or know everything about Worldprofit or marketing. All you have to do is promote those landing pages to generate Associate sign ups so our Monitors can make them a terrific offer to join our home business community as a Silver member. Ok so let’s recap again. In learning ANY new skill, repetition leads to MASTERY. Your goal is to use the recommended advertising resources, to promote the landing pages so you can generate Associate sign ups while building your list. Good. I can see you are sticking with it because you are still reading this! That’s important. So many people who GIVE up on online marketing, calling it a scam, really just gave up on themselves. They didn’t take the time to learn the basics, apply the skills, commit to doing the work then allowing time to see results. Now, we realize that when we learn a new skill it’s easy to get overwhelmed, get frustrated, get stuck. But we are here for you 7 days a week to help you.

That’s right Worldprofit’s Support Team is here 7 days a week, the Monitors are in the Live Business Center 24 hours a day, and the online bootcamp training is self-paced and includes video tutorials. You are not alone as you learn this material we are here to help you every step of the way. To help keep you focused, here are 3 questions you need to ask yourself every day – if you are really serious about building your online business and earning income from your effort.

1. How many ads have you run?

2. How many clicks are showing on your Ad Tracker?

3. How many Associates have you signed up today? Write these questions down and post on your computer, on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror, or on your dog’s forehead. Commit them to memory but post them as a visual aid to keep you on track EVERY day. If you don’t know where to find the ads, if you don’t know what an Ad Tracker is, if you don’t know what an Associate is and how to get more, go back to the bootcamp training. Watch the Video for Beginner’s again. These questions all related to the basics you must master. See you at the LIVE interactive Home Business Training held every Friday, presented by Worldprofit co-founder George Kosch, marketing expert, and YOUR personal bootcamp instructor.

This concludes Part 1. In Part 2 we will discuss how to use what you have just learned so you can promote your own affiliate programs, or any of the OTHER income sources in your Worldprofit Member area.

In the online world, it is important to "sell" your online brand so that it stands out above your competitors. That is where smart Internet marketing comes in handy. This will help visitors find and remember you, which can result in more traffic and more profits. Follow these tips to make your website stand out above the rest. Visit the sites of your competitors. This will allow you to see what you’re up against, but it can also give you ideas about what you can do a little better or a little differently.

You can use their websites for ideas about content for your own site and blog. You can reach out to your audience on demand thanks to an email list. Create an email list about a specific topic and send out newsletters with quality content. Once you build up your email list, you can send out information about your products, in the context of your newsletter or usual format. Have a specific goal in mind. Figure out exactly what it is you want your website to do, and aim towards that goal.

Start small at first, say by increasing traffic, and then move out to other goals. Many a website has failed because they tried too much at one time. Know your lingo. Understanding the definitions of the field you are working with is just as important as why you are delving in. Without knowing what symbols, initials, and codes actually mean, you are diving into a pool at midnight. You do not know what is in there, and it may get you hurt. Gather testimonials from customers and publish them on your website. A testimonial builds credibility and goodwill for your business. Testimonials should highlight your business’s goods and services while demonstrating customer satisfaction. Customer testimonials should be honest and genuine. Satisfied customers will be glad to offer a few words of praise for your business.

One of the most important aspects of business is to stay as professional as possible at all times in order to separate your company from competitors. If you have a Twitter or Facebook page relating to your company, make sure to stay business professional even though you are on a social networking website. Before you start out on your internet marketing journey. You should spend some time researching. Decide what market you are trying to break into. Know your game plan before you do anything else. The more investment you are willing to put into making things right from the start, the smoother the sailing will be once you start.

Going the email route in internet marketing can very well backfire on you and in a hurry. Make sure that any mail you’re sending is short, informative, and presents a call to action to the potential customer. The idea is for people to read your message and feel the urge to click, not to read a long story and click out of your message, out of boredom. Viral marketing works extremely well to build up a solid customer base, but you need to do this correctly. Putting together a loosely informative, short eBook and giving it away to your customers comes across as insulting. Take your time to put together a thorough, quality product if you really want to impress your customers. As you can see from the previous list of tips, Internet marketing can really make a difference in the strength of your online presence. It takes a lot of work, a lot of networking, and tons of patience, but it is all worth it in the end to have a successful online business.

Yes, it’s true; nobody really wants to think about starting a home business that may not prosper. And that is because it can involve thinking about it failing. Still, it’s important to know what you can do to prevent that and to help your business flourish. That’s what the tips below are for. If you have a home business, don’t miss out on the home office tax credit. You can claim this space even if you don’t devote an entire room to your business. If you have an area which is only or primarily used for business purposes, you can claim it based on square footage, and calculate the portion of your home that is taken up by your office space.

If you run a business out of your home, don’t miss out on tax deductions for office equipment. If you buy a piece of equipment, such as a computer or desk, that is only or primarily used for business functions, you can claim 100% of the cost of that item as a tax deductible the year it was purchased. Always begin your home business when you are employed. Your new business will not take off right away, so be sure to stay with your current job for the time being.

Having money in your pocket while waiting for profits to build from your new venture is always advantageous. Your office needs some sort of door or "barrier". Your office needs to be separate from the living areas in the home. This will be a mental and physical signal that your work space is separate from your rest space.

The separation will help you to leave your work behind when you are busy with the rest of your life. Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your home business. Asking for help shows that you are strong enough to realize that you cannot solve every problem. Asking about what you don’t know is a great way to learn what you need to learn. By asking people intelligent questions, you will get the help you need. If you are just getting started on a new business venture, the best thing to do is to focus on one thing at a time. Trying to take on too many business ventures can only lead to disaster.

Focus on one thing and then expand later once you get the hang of things. Utilize social networking to the best of your abilities and then some. If you aren’t using social networking within your home business, you are losing out on a great communication method that is used by countless businesses today. Social networking improves your communication, visibility, and even your reputation within the target group you have chosen. Ensure success of your business in its earliest stages by working to keep overhead costs as low as possible, especially if you are working with limited funds.

Look for ways to minimize costs up front; one easy way to do this is to focus more on the tools needed to get the job done rather than splurging on expensive new office furniture and fancy desktop gadgets. Stay organized when you start a new home business. There are many books and websites to help you with organization when you are a business owner. Find out the software that you will need to keep your records straight and make a list of the things you may need to get to help you along the way.

See, it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought it would be; thinking about starting a home business that can help your future. Life can take a lot of unexpected turns and not having or losing customers has to be thought about. Do yourself a favor and follow these tips above to start your home business effectively.

Having a home business presents many unique challenges and rewards. Not only do you have to take care of the actual product or service that you offer, you also need to take care of the administrative and marketing duties as well. Here are some tips to help keep your home business going. When you are just starting with your home business, it can be difficult to separate home life and work. You can find yourself in situations where you are trying to do work around the house, do work related to your business, and also relax at the same time. This can lead either burn out from working too much or not enough productivity by focusing too much time on other things. It is important to set boundaries between your home life and your home business, and allocate specific times during the day that you devote to each. Run a contest on your business website. Spread the word about your contest through forums that your customers frequent, contest boards, ezines, guest blog entries and any other methods you can find. Make it fun, keep it simple and devise a prize that is worthwhile, but not over-the-top. Contests bring traffic. Determine an advertising budget for your home business. It is important to trade with other companies, offer a selection of free products for prizes and have other means of advertisement. However, the costs can quickly add up, so it is important to be aware of how much you have to spend and stay within that limit. Participate in trade shows that focus on your particular product or service.

Trade shows provide a great way to network with others in your industry. It is also an effective way to promote your business to many potential customers by providing you with a setting to demonstrate your product or service. You should contact a business lawyer in your area before you actually start your business.

There may be laws that your state has established regarding home businesses of which you may not be aware. Contacting a business attorney is a great way to find out what the laws are and to find out what you need to do in order to follow them. Get the right insurance for your home business. You’ll need to insure your business property, of course, and if you use a vehicle for business, you might need special insurance coverage for it, too. You may need business liability coverage, and you should also have health insurance if you’re not covered by someone else’s policy. You should discuss your situation with a qualified insurance agent to best protect yourself and your business against the unexpected, whether it’s storm damage, a car accident, or a medical problem.

Search engine optimization is a vital tool to increase the Internet visibility of your home business. Search engine optimization can be an excellent method for owners of home businesses to market their sites online and increase their audience size. You can get involved with the SEO process by hiring expert consultants or by learning how to do your own optimization. Don’t let yourself be lazy with your home business. Write up a business plan before you open up shop, and be sure to stick to it. If you want to be absolutely certain your plans are sound, contact a business adviser for a few expert tips before you open your doors for business. Use these tips to help keep your home business going. A home business can be frustrating at times, but the independence that you have to really make your business shine is something that no one else can replace. Just make sure you handle all parts of your business and your business will do well.

Sometimes we have ideas that would make wonderful businesses. You could easily make this dream come true thanks to the internet, but do not expect to make a profit unless you are ready to approach this business venture seriously and educate yourself about internet marketing. If you find you need help, be certain to heed the tips in this article. One way to make your online presence more viral is to give something away for free. Be it samples, a contest for products or services or some other freebie, publicizing something for free will greatly increase the chances that your links will get passed on to others. This will end up raising your online visibility, exponentially. Make sure to evaluate the content of your website. Know what your website says, what the goals of the site are, and get a gauge on how useful the content is. A well defined site is sure to attract more traffic. Increased traffic is key to maintaining a successful site. When designing a website to market a product or service online, include a "resources" section. Adding a resources section attracts potential clients to your site by increasing your search engine ranking. It also means that viewers of your site are more likely to return to view those resources, and might end up buying your product later. Look at pay-per-click advertisement programs to increase your website visibility.

These programs, like Google Adwords, bring your website up to the top of the list whenever people search for something that relates to your site. This gives you a lot more visibility and a lot more traffic. Advertising is never a bad idea. A great tip for Internet marketing is to incorporate chat into your web site. Chatting is a great way to connect with people and resolve problems in real time. All you have to do is select a chat program, put a button on your web site, and train someone to use it. Make it easy to buy from your website. Mark all prices clearly, and specify shipping options and charges up front so the customer does not have to wonder. Show all items and charges on the final page before the customer clicks to confirm. And after the order is accepted, give a confirmation number and an estimated date for them to receive their merchandise. When dealing with real estate internet marketing, your site needs both traffic and a lead generation system. A busy website without the means for lead generation will never increase your business.

Visitors will travel in and out, but will never leave much behind that is of real value to you. Internet marketing tactics can be used hand in hand with offline marketing. Try having your advertisements put on things like t-shirts, mugs, calendars, and stickers. Give them to your employees, friends, and family. These will often be very practical and easy ways to make recipients happy and advertise your business. Remind your readers that they can bookmark your website. If a customer is interested in returning, they will not have to search for you again if they bookmarked your page. It may seem obvious, but sometimes the idea will slip someone’s mind.

Jog their memory for them with a quick and subtle reminder. A website that looks professional and appealing draws more traffic than one that is poorly designed. If you’re not sure how to design one yourself, hire a professional. Well-designed websites enjoy increased bookmarking, return visits and RSS feed and e-zine subscriptions. Research the websites of your competition, and see what layouts seem to be working for them. For long-term business success, you need to advertise online and continue to learn about the newest Internet marketing innovations. You most likely want to be in business for years and years. Every business starts small, and these tips can help you build it up!

In order to keep up with the competition in this world, you have to make use of many marketing techniques. Some businesses go with internet marketing, others go with affiliate marketing or even network marketing. There another technique that can be just as useful called video marketing, and you’ll learn how to harness its power in this article. Be confident during your video. Your customers are going to see you as an ambassador for the product which means you should exhibit full confidence in its capabilities and value.

Practice your presentation a few times to make sure you are building the right experience and interest for your potential customers. If you creative lightning strikes and you get a great idea for a video, film it as soon as you can if you have the equipment to do so. Granted, getting either professional equipment or personnel might seem like the best route to take, but such arrangements can take time.

Capture the energy and essence of an idea while it is fresh. Even an amateur video with authenticity can outshine something expertly polished. If you’re selling a product, create a video which tells your customers how to use the product. You can start with opening the box, run through how to put it together, and then show them how they can use it. This will make them appreciate how much you respect your customers. When searching YouTube for ideas, don’t forget to use the * wildcard operator. This allows you to find videos, which are similar but not identical to your search terms.

For example, "How to * a book" may lead you to some crafty questions and answers about working with books creatively. Depending on what you are selling, you might not even need to film a video. If you are hoping to get people to buy a computer software product or use an online website or service, screen capturing might be a better way to go. Just create a video of what you offer and what it does while you narrate why they want it. Make thought-provoking videos. No matter what your video is about, try to have your viewers communicate with you about the content. This can easily be done by having comments enabled on your videos.

You could try asking for their feedback about something you talked about, or you could end your videos with questions that you’d like them to answer about related topics. Content is king on a website, in a magazine or in an online video. What you put out to the world not only tells them who you are but also what you’re about. If you want them to become clients or customers, you have to give them what they’re looking for in a fun format. All of the other marketing techniques are great in their own right, but they don’t hold a candle to what video marketing can offer. Video marketing adds a certain level of success that is unmatched by anything. This article was packed with video marketing information, so use it to give your business more power.
