HOW TO MAKE MONEY OVER AND OVER ON THE SAME PROMOTIONS

As you probably know, the big secret to making massive profits is to get your best customers to buy from you as often as possible for the maximum profit per transaction. Do that with a large enough group and you'll get rich. It's that simple. Reselling to your existing customers is key to maximum profitability.

The best way to do that is to just keep giving your customers the same things you gave them before, but with a new twist added each time. If your products and services are perceived as old hat, your customers will be bored -- and bored people never buy. Whatever's current creates currency. On the other hand, if a product or service is too new and different, they won't buy then, either. Many will be afraid to do so.

Therefore, you have to deliver products and services that seem innovative and exciting, but nonetheless contain familiar themes your customers are already comfortable with. If you're selling ketchup, don't suddenly try to sell them mustard. Sell them a new variety of ketchup. Even then, don't make it too different! A slightly spicier red ketchup will sell better than even the tastiest green or purple ketchup (this has been proven). What you need, then, is basically old wine in new bottles. Most people are searching for variations on a theme, not a completely new theme.

They proved their interest by giving you their money in the first place. People vote with their pocketbooks, so take a close look at the products, services and promotions that have worked the very best for you, and realize that somewhere within those items are the things that your best customers (and prospects just like them) value the most. It's up to you to determine what those common denominators are, and then to add those to the items you develop in the future.

The newness will attract your customer's attention, while the old and familiar will hold that attention by making them feel comfortable with your new offers. When you learn how to apply this secret properly, you can keep offering your best clients and customers the same basic types of products and services again and again -- which means all the prep work is easier. You can reuse a lot of the same sales material, simply tailoring it to the new offerings. You gain enormous leverage because your "new" products and services are really your "old" products and services with new twists.

Here's a real-world example: the most recent Ford Mustangs (as of 2012) look a great deal like the original Mustangs from the mid-to-late 1960s. In the '70s and '80s they changed the model a little too much -- they got away from the familiar, and their sales took a hit. Now the newer models resemble the original models again, though with a modern look and feel. That's a great example of giving people things they're familiar with while modifying them enough for the new to show.

One of the most successful recent promotions at my company has been a series of advertising and management services. We're on our ninth edition of this promotion -- and it's simply a riff on best of the best of everything we've developed for the previous versions. All the hard work, thousands of person-hours of time, has already been invested; now we're reaping the harvest with the ninth version. It required some investment of time and effort, but not nearly as much as the previous editions. It looks and feels different from the previous versions, but it's essentially the same service with a few great additions.

Think of this as the marketing principle of evolution. You're constantly looking for ways to make your best products and services appear new, different, and special, so you keep tweaking them, constantly adding new elements. That way, you can keep using the sales materials you've used in the past, with slight (but vital) modifications to make them look and feel different.

On the other hand, when you do find a revolutionary product or service that's totally different from anything else in the marketplace, that doesn't mean you have to ignore it. Just inject a familiar element, or compare it with something people in your marketplace are already familiar with. As I write this, a revolutionary new healthcare service called telemedicine is all the rage. This is a concierge service that gives people direct access to a team of medical doctors in their own state who are on call 24 hours a day to help them with their medical needs. For as little as pennies a day, tens of millions of people can now pick up their cell phones and get direct access to a team of board-certified medical doctors. This is a service that will revolutionize the healthcare industry -- and generate billions of dollars in pure profits every month.

The brilliant company that developed this breakthrough is using the power of network marketing to reward average people who introduce their service to prime prospects. Because it's brand-new, this opportunity offers real consumer excitement. The millions of people in the business opportunity market that we serve are always looking for something new and exciting -- but again, if it's unproven they get scared, and like bored people, scared people don't buy. Therefore, the distributors have to prove to them that although this idea is revolutionary, it still incorporates ingredients that have already been proven profitable.

They do this by comparing the telemedicine concierge service with the concept of prepaid legal services, which hit the market in 1983. Prepaid legal services, which provide customers direct access to a team of legal advisers for a monthly fee, use a very similar business model -- one that's made thousands of distributors wealthy. That's all the proof people need for them to see that telemedicine has the potential to make them all the money they'll ever want or need. Even though telemedicine is a completely different field, the phenomenal success story of prepaid legal services -- which are delivered in a similar way -- helps to educate and persuade prospects. In fact, telemedicine might even prove more profitable than prepaid legal services. Most of us need access to a lawyer just a few times in our lives, but you might need medical help at any time -- and healthcare is much more important to most of us than legal aid.

That makes it easier to sell this revolutionary offer. It's wrapped around something that already has a rock-solid track record. This helps to ease the prospect's concerns, making them feel comfortable with the service, despite the fact that it's entirely new. So: when developing new products to offer to your clients, think about all the ways you can prove them similar to things your clients are already comfortable with right now.

Keep giving them more of what you know they want the most, and you'll make more money with less work.

With Google changing its algorithms no less than twice a year lately, business owners are becoming weary of trying to get a handle on their internet marketing. In its attempt to improve the user's search engine and Internet experience, Google has wound up being the engine that is driving billions of dollars in online advertising and SEO.

Canadian internet marketing guru, Dave Davies, CEO and founder of Beanstalk Internet Marketing, is known for his intricate knowledge and expertise in the field. While small business owners everywhere are scrambling for authority and page ranking in the hopes of winding up on page one of Google, Davies is steering his clients into successful waters.

We interviewed Davies so he could demystify all of this for our readers. We asked specific, timely questions and were pleased with his no-beat-around-the-bush answers. His well-respected voice in the business makes this interview one to read again and again until your strategy becomes clear. Read on.

Faleris: What inspired your SEO business versus all of the other internet arenas available these days?

Davies: I got my start in the SEO realm working for a web hosting company back in 2000. As their head sales guy it occurred to me that selling would be easier if I got people to call me instead of having to call them. I started optimizing the site, a "game" that was far easier back then, and it worked. In my background I always had a knack for mathematics and was raised by a speech writer so when I settled into a field that is based on algorithms and content, it certainly wasn't a stretch.

Faleris: Do you think Google will continue to control the search engine kingdom? Projecting into the future, how long do you think it will take Bing and the others to catch up in terms of user/market share?

Davies: I don't think it's so much a case of Bing catching up as users changing the way they access information. If I'm going to project 5 years from now I see a world that has Google dominating the mobile space and Bing securing more of the home user space. While I don't see Bing taking over search per se, their integration into the home (gaming, PC, etc.) will give them a huge advantage. Their engine is fast catching up to Google from a generic perspective and with Google distracted with mobile and their preexisting inroads into the home, if Bing can ensure the user interaction is smooth, they can make gains into the home space which could prove to be highly profitable.

Faleris: Do you feel there is any way to stabilize SEO campaigns so they don't have to be altered every time Google makes an algorithm update? Or is that just something we can expect while Google reigns?

Davies: In light of the Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird updates the answer has become "yes". In the past the strategies that worked best/fastest were often algorithm-chasers in that they were techniques deployed purely for the algorithms. Over the past 2 years Google has done an outstanding job of catching up to SEOs and adjusting their ranking formula in ways that make these techniques ineffective.

Essentially - their technology has caught up to what they have been telling SEOs to do all along, and while there will always be adjustments to new technologies, keywords and user interfaces; the days of chasing algorithms is over. We've moved from that to a world where we have to view ourselves as Internet marketers and brand representatives. Build authority, build trust, build links that drive traffic and make sure the user likes what they find and you'll rank well. I don't see that changing.

Faleris: How can SEO companies get their clients on page one of Google if everyone in those same categories are doing the very same things? Not everyone can be on page one of Google.

Davies: Great question. It's more a case of not doing the same or doing the same but more. At the end of the day we're dealing with a mathematical formula and so basic principles can set in. One of two things needs to happen:
  1. Do the same as your competitors and then add 10%, or
  2. Build better than your competitors.
Of course, you can also do both. It may sound simplistic but there's no reason to make it more complicated than it needs to be. If a competitor builds a link, build one that's better - or build two.

Faleris: Back links have come to be the mystery of the SEO campaign. Google wants good content to be rewarded. Not everyone has the time or the money to write quality content, so they outsource. Because of this, the content on the internet is getting worse, not better. Google's interest of improving the internet and search experience is actually forcing the opposite to happen. Your thoughts on this?

Davies: Sadly, this is too often the case. What's resulted is Google building semantics into their engine that has to extrapolate quality. Essentially what is resulting is that companies that can't afford to have good copy are finding that their copy can't rank and that they've spent their money on nothing.

Website owners would be better tasked with producing less, high quality copy than producing more low quality. This will also help ensure they're not calling me up 12 months from now with a "pure spam" penalty or traffic drop during a Panda update.

Faleris: What is your overall SEO philosophy?

Davies: It's changed a lot since 2000 but at its core it can be summarized with the following: Build good content, get it in front of relevant people who would be interested in it (and more importantly - linking to it) and make sure your visitors are happy.

Faleris: What would you tell an average business owner on handling SEO? Do it yourself? Hire a company? Forget the whole thing? How can an average Joe compete on the internet without deep pockets?

Davies: It's definitely getting harder and harder. If one's budget is very tight and they need to go it alone then my advice would be to spend some money in advance to get some good advice from one of the many solid SEO's who will be happy to do site audits and make sure that you've built in a set of hours for them to proof your work.

It might seem expensive. Some audits run in the many thousands of dollars but learning the whole field and making all the mistakes you will along the way costs even more so having someone experienced outline the to-dos (and don'ts) and proof the work afterwards can keep business owners on the right track and get to their goals faster.

If you don't have a few thousand kicking around then read. And read some more before even touching your site. Further, read Google's guidelines, print them out and keep them tacked next to your computer and put a post-it on your monitor with the following question: Am I trying to game the system or add value to my site or the sites of others?

Every time you think of a strategy, if it falls in the "gaming" answer then avoid it. If it adds value to your site or the sites of others, then it's a good strategy that will withstand the test of time.

Faleris: How are companies handling SEO for mobile devices? Is that a whole new arena?

Davies: SEO for mobile has resulted in a lot more work from a design standpoint. While the
principles of SEO have remained the same - ranking on mobile has required that we consider areas such as site speed and layout differently for a variety of different devices and recognized that the motivations of users may vary depending on the type of device.
To this end it's critical to have capable designers and an SEO who understands the different metrics and motivations to consider.

Faleris: What are your pet peeves with Google? Or is that a tough question?

Davies: Pet Peeves with Google:
While Google dominates for a reason (being an extremely good and adaptive engine) many of the strategies they use violate some pretty basic web ethics and may well result in the degradation of web content. A good example is the use of knowledge graphs (those boxes of information to the right of the search results).

The information for these graphs is drawn from web pages and displayed right in the results meaning that the searcher no longer has to click through to the site. While this may seem convenient (and is) it's removed the ability for the producer of that content to monetize it. First, I just ethically view this as unfair to publishers but secondly, if publishers can't monetize their content then the content itself will degrade in value. For example, if I can make $200 per page of content I produce then I can afford to spend $150 to have it produced. If the monetization then drops to $100 I'll only be able to afford to spend $50 on producing that page of copy. And the quality will drop.
While convenient today, I don't like what it may spell out for the future.

Faleris: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about SEO companies, strategies or your projections for the future?

Davies: Be an expert. You know more about your field that those who need your products, services or information. Blog regularly, get your name out there on Q&A sites like Quora and be strong on social media. SEO isn't just about links and content anymore, it's about reputation and authority. Be an authority and a source of industry information and the rankings will follow. Now and into the future. And make sure your site is well coded.
