Amid all the big launches that are going on right now, this little gem from Cindy Battye almost skip my attention.

A couple of years ago, Cindy was so broke that  she and her husband would pull the couch apart to see if they could find change to buy some bread. Today she is earning a 6-figure annual income completely on autopilot. And her business model is membership site.

Cindy is now releasing the blueprint to her success called Membership Goldrush.  Get the full scoop here: Membership Goldrush

These 12-module course cover everything from niche research to making your membership site run on autopilot.  It also include strategies that other membership site managers used to pull in high 5 figure income a month.

Consider the amount of information in the course, the price point is rather low (not even 50 bucks) and it is non-recurring. Seems like she want to make it affordable for the average joes.

Anyway, I decide to contribute a bonus for any of you who invest in the course through my affiliate link.

Does ONline marketing work for OFFline businesses?

Most market research shows that Internet banner ads are very ineffective. Internet classified ads also seem to be impotent. The most effective method of advertising on the World Wide Web is — far and away — the simple, uncomplicated textual link. Banner ads are seen as nothing more than conspicuous  promotion and web site visitors are put-off by such blatant commercialism. On the other hand, when online visitors read an “in context” or “contextual” link, they perceive this much like a personal recommendation from a friend or business associate. These tendencies are even more noticeable in a small urban center like Charlottesville, VA.

A properly built and promoted web site offers area firms a very inexpensive and extremely effective way to…

* promote 24/7 without the exalted prices of print ads
* update information as the need arises not when your ad contract is up!
* get one up on area competition who are stuck in the offline advertising arena
* encourage and develop existing relationships with existing customers
* encourage regular purchases/contracts
* cement client lifetime loyalty
* create new business

That is… if you go about it properly… You simply need to know how to market your offline business online.

If you go out for a meal or enjoy seeing a particularly well-done movie, don’t you want tell all of your friends how extraordinary it was? Of course you do! We all do this. It’s natural.

The simple text link moves us us in a similar way.

For example, the next two sentences use several of the internet’s most competitive keyword phrases, yet neither seems to be a blatant advertisement: “In my opinion, the absolute best internet marketing services in Charlottesville, Virginia, can be found at Top Rated Web Pages, a small locally-owned business. I have found their SEO service (Search Engine Optimization service) to be outstanding and, as the company name suggests, “top rated” in all aspects.”

Online Marketing For Local Businesses

Trying to market your business on the World Wide Web is, for most offline business owners, a lot like black magic, where merchandising sorcerers cast spells upon a web visitor to impose uncontrollable desires on them for certain products or services. In a small to mid-sized city such as Charlottesville, VA, finding high caliber marketing help may be difficult. Even though Charlottesville — the home of the UVA — is a genuinely sophisticated and hi-tech university town, qualified online marketing services could be difficult to come by. The professionals at Top Rated Web Pages are there to help!

Search engine spiders, also know as robots or bots, enjoy gobbling-up internet content, and so do your online visitors. Content is one of the most important facets of attracting the multitude to your internet site, and helping them to ascertain the value in what you are offering. The question you need to ask is: “How could I generate visitors who will come to my web site to check-out my content?” Search engines are the absolute finest place to begin because they thrive on the same thing: CONTENT.

Therefore, if you want to put up top rated web pages, simply offer the search engines what it is they’re hungry for — content! The search engines will, in turn, give their visitors what they’re hungry for — content!

Finally, you’ll get what you want: a LOT of ready-to-buy traffic — IF you understand how to find Internet Marketing Services.

The viral marketing business model was first described by Tim Draper and popularized in 1997 to describe Hotmail’s practice of adding advertising to the outgoing mail of their users. In different terms, viral marketing has been around for as long as people have had items to sell. So, it is word-of-mouth marketing.

It relies on the average person’s tendency to “tell their friends”. The terminology, or what we refer to this as, is new. Surveys tell us that the average person has at least six close friends. When they have an amazing experience with a product or a service provider, they will share this with 6 friends.

When an internet user finds something valuable, informative, hilarious, interesting or free online, they will share it with up to 12 friends. The internet is the platform for the most successful viral marketing business models out there.

We have also been told by the pros that in order to sell something, you need to give something away. I recently read a free e-book about dieting. It made complete sense. It was written by the head of a supplement manufacturing company. He put forward the idea that you share the book with everyone you know. His main motivation was to sell supplements.

He could have sold the book. It contained as much information as many of the diet books that line bookstore shelves, but he realized the value of giving something away, in order to get something. Most people have a tendency to like companies that give them something of use, especially when they do not have to pay for it.

There are numerous software programs online that offer a free version and a “platinum” version. This is another example of a viral marketing business model. If a person sees any free software program, they usually share it with up to 12 people they know would like to try it as well.

Social networking is becoming increasingly popular. People on MySpace and Facebook literally have hundreds of online friends and they “share” things with them on a daily basis. If you can provide something that they want to share, then you may have a viral campaign waiting to happen.

There are other elements of a successful viral marketing business model. But, coming up with something free that people can share with others is the most important element.
