Everywhere I look, people are eager to generate traffic
to their websites with the hope of making a few bucks.

Is traffic really the holy grail of a successful internet business?

If you answered yes, THINK AGAIN…

Traffic is a very important part of a successful website
BUT if you dont have the other parts in places, it will be
a waste of time and money!

In order for your traffic to actually worth anything, you
must do SOMETHING with it.

I call this “The Journey“. The marketing term for it is
“marketing funnel”.

In short, it is the FLOW of traffic to and through your business.
It involves capturing some of the traffic (lead generation)
and moving the leads through different stages in order to
increase their value (value of your lead = how much
money you make from  a lead during the life of their relationship
with you.)

For example:

• 1000 visitors go to your website (traffic)
• 500 of them optin for a newsletter (leads)
• 50 of them purchased a $100 product (customers)
• 25 of those 50 purchased an additional $500 item (leverage)
• 10 of the 25 purchased a coaching program for $5000 
  (more leverage)

Dear Friend,

People ask me the same question over
and over again:

“Socrates,
How do I build a High-Converting Website
or Auction Listing to Sell my Product?”

Truth is my friend, you NEED a Professionally looking
sales page that is built using solid techniques
in order to succeed with any product or service
on the internet.

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

However, if you ever tried to create your
own sales page using HTML or an HTML editor,
you know that it is not an easy task. In
fact it can be very time consuming and very confusing.

But that is just the looks of your sales letter.
It is important that you put each component
of the salespage on the right place otherwise
it will not be as effective.

For example, Prehead goes before the headline,
Subhead goes after the headline. Software box
or ebook cover should be placed at key places
of the website. Where to put testimonials,
where to put the optin form, the order box,
benefits, testimonials, images, etc.

Good News! You dont have to take a web
design class or a copywriting class to do all
of the above.

Why do you expect people to take action?

Do you ever wonder why some people are
successful in selling online while others aren’t?

I used to wonder about the same thing some
years ago.

when I first started online I did what most
newbies would do. I put together a webpage
threw it on the internet waiting for people
to buy my software. I was actually able to
drive traffic to that website and after
a while I started thinking that nobody
needed my product since I wasnt making any
sales.

In fact, I was surpised because I thought
my website looked pretty good. I had those
flashy buttons, a picture of my software
box, a few bullet points with the main features
and a few links to support, about me,
mission statement and some more of the
“typical” stuff I was used to see on websites
everywhere.

I was expecting that the website would be
successful since it looked similar to
most other websites out there. But I got nothing!

Does this remind you of anyone you know?

How about someone you know intemately?

I am back to the US at last and I am trying to get
back to my old routine. It was the longest trip back
I ever done. I missed my fight in London so it took
53 hours in total to get from Cyprus to Los Angeles.
(Normal is around 18 – 20)

I will tell you more about it next time (I will also
post some more pictures)

Meantime, Read the following article (till the end)
there are some hidden secrets that can be very
profitable to you…

Selling Resell Rights Products on eBay Successfully
–by: Socrates Socratous
===================================================

All sorts of things are bought, sold and traded on the eBay auction
web site.  Since the possibilities are endless as far as generating
revenue through eBay sales, many quick-thinking individuals have
been able to establish businesses that run completely on eBay.
Many vendors that do not even have a product of their own make lots
of money selling resell rights products.

In my last post I explained how people think “backwards”
when it comes to starting a business. And this reason
is most responsible for their subsequent failure.

Today I am going to show you how to do it correctly
(At least how I do it). I will show you the formula that
has been proven fool-proof for finding the right niche
for you and what products to offer that people will come
asking to buy them from you.

Have you ever heard of the saying:

“Supply and Demand”?

Well, I like to see this concept a little differently!

“Demand and Supply”!

Which means, find the hidden demand first (problem)
and then supply the solution.

By implementing this strategy, you minimize the hardest
part of doing business; “Selling”

What is better?

To try and “sell” a product to a bunch of people or Let the 
people that want your product come and buy it from you?

Here is an example to help you understand this principle:

a) If you stand in the middle of a starving crowd with a loaf
of bread in your hands, people will be begging you to
sell them some bread.
