==========================================

As a home business owner and Internet Marketer, to say I spend numerous hours reading online forums would be a gross understatement.

There is more value than you can imagine in online forums, whether it’s a forum on CNBC or a local forum created by weekend warriors in your home town.

While spending a little time on a new forum I’ve been reading, someone asked me…. What have I learned the most while on this forum…..

My answer was an immediate no-brainer.

Besides learning just how much coffee one needs to consume to stay awake at all hours of the night reading all the great posts from people all over the world, I would say the things I learn while reading forum posts are immeasurable.  They’re of infinite importance to my success in making money in my own Internet Home Business.

The diverse nature of most forums help broaden my own knowledge base and help elevate my skills to new levels.  In addition, I end up learning a great deal about myself. I learn what my strengths are and more importantly I learn what my weaknesses are.  If you own your own Internet Home Business, or just want to someday create your own Home Internet Business, knowing your weaknesses is of paramount importance.  By knowing my weaknesses, I can make an informed decision to either build those skills so I can do things for myself, or I can simply choose to outsource those tasks to someone who does possess the necessary skills.  And where do I typically find those people I outsource to? Well on forums about the same topics, of course.

Are you starting to see how much value you can start to pull from taking a little time to open your mind to a new set of stimuli?

In answer to the original question and per the subject line of this article, I would have to say the “SINGLE” most important thing in “Building a Can’t Lose Wall of Success Around You” is by surrounding yourself with like-minded, success-oriented, and genuine people who are willing to help and who are receptive to your own suggestions.

This is by far one of the most important aspects of achieving success there is. You want to surround yourself with people who are heading in the direction you want to go or who have already made it there.

It’s that simple. It really is.

Find a group of people who are already successful in doing what you want to do and simply learn from them and do what they do.  If that group doesn’t exist, then start your own and help others grow with you.

Just remember that nothing happens overnight. Real and honest success takes time but if there is another thing I’ve learned in my hours upon hours in forums, it’s the following;

You only fail once you give up.

If you’re interests lie in learning how to make extra money in your own business, then you may want to look at just the type of forum I’ve been talking about.

It’s called “IM Simple” – Internet Marketing Made Simple.

Take a few minutes now and read through some of the posts.

You just may find the perfect business model for you.

Here’s the “Real” Secret to Making Money Online:

Find something you’re good at and use it to make money….
It’s that simple…..

Now, before I get 1000 emails in my Inbox spamming ridiculous retorts to the above comments, let me take a few minutes to explain…

In fact better yet, I’ll let Matt and John Rhodes of the Rhodes Brothers explain it even better than I could.

Do yourself a favor and take a couple minutes and watch the following video which explains just how Simple and Powerful their new 10X Method is to exploding true online profits.

10X Method:

It’s as simple as experimenting slowly until you find something that brings in a few dollars online and then REALLY exploiting that method 10X over until it’s gushing profits.

Sound too easy? Well that’s the point….. It sounds so easy; nobody believes it’s the true “Non” Secret to producing wealth.

But those who are pulling in most of the online marketing profits know very well how powerful this method is and so should you.

Do you sell products online? Do you offer a service that you’re confident is as good as, if not better than your competition? If so, then I’m sure your website must be riddled with page after page of customer testimonials to prove it.

If not… Then without a doubt, you’re doing something drastically wrong!

Authentic, detailed customer testimonials can be your greatest selling tool in an Internet business!

Have you ever noticed how the vast majority of successful businesses – whether selling a product or a service – use this one extremely important selling tool in all their sales presentations – both online and off?

It’s a proven fact that genuine, verifiable testimonials convert more prospects into buyers! And your home business web site sales can definitely benefit from this hypnotic and powerful tool.

Testimonials are the one selling tool that you can’t be without in online sales.
Best of all, you can quickly and easily have dozens of testimonials loaded in your sales arsenal, firing your biggest guns, if you understand how the process of soliciting a quality testimonial works….

*******************************************
“… I’m just writing to say that your product is wonderful! I’ve purchased many other widgets online, but your widget is by far the best widget ever. And it arrived extremely fast. Your customer service staff was also a pleasure to work with. I will be buying many more widgets from you in the future! Thank you for the excellent product and service….”

Susan B. Customer

********************************************

As an astute business owner, do you sometimes wonder…

“Just how do these companies pull it off… Why do their customers take such initiative to tell the world about their wonderful experience, while most of my customers seem to purchase my product or service and then fade away into a black hole somewhere in cyberspace?”

Well, there’s an altruistic question you need to immediately ask yourself….

“How many times have I followed up with my customers and actually asked them about their shopping experience?”

The fact is, if you sell a product or service online in your own Internet home business, there’s no “sneaky little trick” or “magic formula” for obtaining authentic and powerful testimonials. The problem is… YOU HAVE TO ASK! And that’s where most online businesses fall short.

Here’s a perfect example…

Take a look at eBay. Here’s a marketplace where anyone and everyone is buying and selling goods and services. Ironically, a buyer usually finds that their only reassurance in making a purchase is by reading over a “Seller’s Feedback”. And guess what… everyone selling on eBay has feedback.
Why? Because ebay sellers ask for it! And they keep asking for it until they receive it. It’s the ebay way of doing business.

If you’ve ever bought or sold an item on ebay, you know that feedback is by far a seller’s most important selling tool. And most good sellers have hundreds, even thousands of testimonials from buyers telling the world about their wonderful experience.
Do you think this would still be the case if EVERY seller didn’t immediately ask for feedback after a sale? Absolutely not! They too have to ask for it…. AND SO DO YOU!

So, how do you ask your customers for their testimonials without feeling like you’re desperately seeking their praise or approval? Actually, it’s quite easy and should be something you do methodically after each and every sale.

I’ve been known to pound the technique of customer follow up into the ground, and here again is no exception. You have to follow up with your customer to make sales, and you have to follow up with your customers to solicit their testimonials. Once again, it’s just another example to demonstrate the importance of customer follow up.

Here’s a guaranteed way to obtain the feedback you’re looking for…

After a sale (and you can incorporate this technique into a product sale or service), immediately send a confirmation email to your customer. In fact, most shopping carts will automatically do this for you. If selling a physical product, once their package ships, immediately send your customer their tracking number. Then, no longer than seven to ten days after their tracking number is sent, send another follow up email asking your customer if they received their package and if they have any questions or concerns that need to be addressed.

Now that’s customer service at its best!

You need to take your Internet home business to the next level.

At this point, your customer is now primed and ready for the pitch. Without fail, within one or two days after you’ve emailed your customer to be sure their package arrived safely (and you’ve also answered their questions), follow up with another email asking for their feedback about their shopping experience.

Think about it… your customer has placed an order, received an immediate confirmation of the sale, has been sent their tracking number via email, received a courtesy follow up email asking if everything is to their satisfaction, and has had any questions and concerns taken care of.

You tell me…is your customer now receptive and also overjoyed with their shopping experience? You bet they are! So now’s the perfect time to follow up and ask for their feedback.
But you have to do so carefully because there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it, and this is very important….

You’ll instantly receive 3 home business Internet Marketing Reports that answer not only how to solicit that feedback above, but will unleash explosive traffic generating techniques and stealth marketing tactics guaranteed to increase your own Internet home business profits.

“No Money, No Computer Skills, No Selling Experience, No Problem…”

Learn The Necessary Skills and Proven Techniques To Drive Profits Soaring Month after Month.

I’m going to be very blunt here – for two reasons;

• One – I want to convey a critical message to you as quickly and as concisely as possible so you can take IMMEDIATE action without delay.
• Two – it’s Saturday afternoon, a beautiful day and I’m sitting behind the computer – enough said J

Do you know why 99% of ALL affiliate and Internet marketers fail?

They fail for two reasons:

• One – The affiliate marketer FAILS TO TAKE ACTION, explained further below.
• Two – They think this is just a game of numbers and fail to consider their customers and build a “real” business.

More on point number one above.  It should be quite self explanatory, but for those who aren’t quite following me or perhaps are very new to affiliate marketing, I’ll delve a little deeper. Affiliate marketers fail in their Internet Home Business or Affiliate Marketing Business because they spend 99% of their time on unproductive and quite honestly, relatively useless tasks.

What do I mean by that?

Well, instead of doing the ONLY two things that matter when building an Internet Home-Based Affiliate Marketing Business; GENERATING TRAFFIC, and CONVERTING THAT TRAFFIC, they spend their time on useless tasks.

That’s it – nothing more. Generate online traffic and convert that traffic to sales.

How do we do that? – By offering “real” value to our customers.

So instead of focusing on those two items above, most affiliate marketers get sidetracked and distracted by the next “big thing” everyone else is promoting.

Focus on building your business and you WILL succeed.

On Point number Two above…. It’s not a numbers game. It’s a business about servicing customer needs.  More on this below.

The next big reason 99% of all affiliate marketers fail to generate the maximum income possible is because they think it’s a numbers game.

They think… “If I can only put up a few more products in my ‘huge, humongous, colossal, widget online mall’, THEN I’ll really make the money.”

It doesn’t work that way – although I must admit – several years ago I thought it did. I thought it was about building the biggest and most “widget-packed” site you could build.

Build it and they will come…. That’s what I thought….  And I thought wrong.

You have to offer your customers real value. You have to build a relationship.

Internet shoppers are browsing your site for one of two reasons (see a pattern here). They are researching looking to solve a problem they have, or they’re just casually browsing along – window shopping.

Lets say I just dropped my favorite Japanese WOK and I’m having a small dinner party next month with some of my best friends (and I’m cooking)….

Now let’s say I’m browsing the Net and I come across your site – “Huge, Humongous, Colossal WOK Store”.

Am I going to order a WOK from you…maybe….but probably not…I’ll probably just head down to my local Williams & Sonoma and pick one up.

So I leave your site and you’re none the wiser. You never knew I was there and you’ll probably never see me again. CUSTOMER LOST – or more accurately, you never really had me to begin with…

Now lets change this up a bit….

Now I’m on your site (still not going to buy that WOK) but you have a link to a free e-Book on Japanese WOK cooking recipes.

EXCELLENT – I could use that for some ideas for next month.

So I register on your site and I happily download my free e-Book.

And in return (you guessed it… you now have my email address and can easily follow up with me and start to build that customer relationship).

So next month you’re running a 40% off promotion on all stir fry skillets.

You shoot out a quick broadcast email message to your registers users and voila.. I get the email and click on the link…  I could use a new skillet.

I loved your free e-Book so what the heck – where’s my VISA – I’ll grab that skillet – after all it’s on sale for 40% off.

Are you starting to see the real message here?

Build real relationships with a real business and you’re destined to succeed even if the Internet Home Business arena is littered with people who never really take it to its full potential.

The above scenario is why I have written a step by step guide of “never before published” proven techniques to make your Internet Home Business and website explode.
