Table of Contents YouTube Saturation ... 4 Advertising On YouTube ....... 5 Getting Started ........... 7 Targeting Active Buyers ........ 9 Maximizing Exposure ........... 11 Final Words ... 15 Recommended Resources .. 16 Sample Content Preview Getting Started When it comes to advertising on YouTube, there are only a few steps involved: Step 1: Create your video This is the most time consuming part of it all because you want to make sure that your video is well designed, entertaining, and that sound and clarity is the best that it can be. Depending on your target audience, "amateur" based videos may perform better than polished videos that appear too professional. It's important to know your target audience and what they are likely to respond to. Then, grab a camera and either shoot the video yourself, or hire it out. And of course, you can also consider creating an entirely digital-based animation style video if you feel that it will connect with your audience. Tips: If you're looking for affordable video developers, set up a project request at https://www.Freelancer.com For cheaper/faster and simple video projects, check out https://www.Fiverr.com If you aren't sure what kind of video would best connect with your target audience, or you need help researching your market, you will want to download an in-depth video marketing course at https://www.VideoProfitsFastLane.com Step 2: Upload your video to YouTube Post your video on YouTube. (It's free!) Then use Google AdWords for video to promote it to the right viewers. You'll only pay when viewers choose to watch your video. Step 3: Advertise your video! In order to advertise your video within the YouTube community, you will need to connect your video account to Google Adwords. Adwords is a performance-based advertising channel, allowing you to set a budget, target your advertisements and set your ads on autopilot. These advertisements are called "TrueView" ads, and they make it easier than ever to target your ideal viewers (and customers!) because you only pay whenever a viewer chooses to watch your video! Targeting Active Buyers In order for your videos to convert, you need to target buyer’s not just viewers. To do that, you will want to take advantage of Google Adwords's demographic targeting options in order to reach out to your audience. This includes: Advertising based on keywords, age groups, gender, location, or language. Ad-targeting is extremely important because without it, you are basically advertising "blindly" with no way of knowing whether the right audience is even seeing your ads. Failing to target your advertisements will also cost you - big time, as your ads will be seen (and even clicked on) by people who have no real interest in what you have to offer. So, take the time to tailor your ads to your audience, nailing down specific demographics so you can easily reach out to your customer base. YouTube advertising through Google Video Ads is very easy to set up because you are able to choose from a set of comprehensive options that will help you better target your customer base. This includes: · Keyword based advertising · Interest categories · Topics & Placements · Demographics (all kinds - age, location, language) · Social interests In addition, with TrueView ads, you only pay when a viewer chooses to watch your ad, similar to pay-per-click advertising, so you are only paying when a prospect has seen your ad! Maximizing Exposure With Google video ads, you are able to promote your business within YouTube, the #1 online video community, as well as the Google Display Network, which includes millions of individual websites (reaching over 89% of the online population!). Imagine your ad appearing on millions of websites all across the Internet! Not only will you be able to infiltrate any niche market you wish, but also you'll be able to create a unique brand that is instantly recognized by potential customers. Spread your marketing message instantly, exposure your business to new customers and promote your video marketing campaigns on a large scale. With Google’s, "TrueView" advertising portal you are also able to maximize exposure through connected channels, including: · TrueView in-stream · TrueView in-search · TrueView in-display · TrueView in-slate Let's take a quick look at what each of these channels has to offer: TrueView in-stream · Ads play as a pre-, mid- or post-roll on YouTube partner videos of all lengths. · After an ad plays for 5 seconds, viewers get the choice to skip it or watch the rest. · Pay only when viewers watch 30 seconds of the ad or to completion if the ad is less than 30 seconds. TrueView in-search ads · Based on user search terms, ads rise to the top of Promoted Video search results and suggestions. · Viewers see certain ads promoted (placed above others or suggested) and click to watch if interested. · Pay only when viewers choose to watch your ad. For an example, visit https://www.YouTube.com and enter in the search term "smart phones" or another popular search term to see a series of TrueView in-search ads. All of the videos shown in the right-hand column are TrueView ads as well as the group of ads that appear at the very top of the search results window! TrueView in-slate ads · Ads play before long-form YouTube partner videos over 10 minutes. · Before a video plays, viewers choose to either watch an ad from 1 of 3 different advertisers, or to watch regular commercial breaks during the video. · Pay only when viewers choose to watch your ad.

There are hundreds of PLR distributors online, some of which write their own content while others outsource cheap article content and package it up together in order to sell it with PLR rights. When it comes to buying PLR, you truly get what you pay for. If you find yourself being attracted to the advertisements offering "thousand of PLR articles with unrestricted rights for $5.00", you'll want to reconsider your purchase. Private label content should be written as if it were not intended to be PLR at all. In other words, if YOU wouldn't want to read it, and if you don't find the information valuable, helpful or comprehensive, your customers won't either. Apart from the quality of the content and material itself, you also want to consider the different licenses that are attached to PLR releases. For the most part, you will want to avoid "unrestricted rights" because it entitles all buyers to distribute the content in virtually any way they wish, including re-selling the content cheaper, or giving it away. This kind of license may provide extended freedom, but it will also be saturated throughout your niche. This sort of content will be de-valued in a matter of days, due to its saturation throughout your niche. To protect your investment, consider purchasing PLR that comes with either limited options and licenses (sold to fewer people with clear restrictions in place) or extended PLR, where PLR rights are given only to the buyers (not passed onto their customers and so on). That way, you can avoid buying PLR that will be passed on to thousands of people, making it easier to sell to your customers with personal, non-transferable rights - just like any other high quality product you release. Many different private label developers online offer high quality content with limited rights. You can explore one of the leading PLR communities at https://www.SurefireWealth.com where you can create a free account and gain access to brand new, all-inclusive private label packages. You can also explore premium PLR releases at https://www.ExclusiveLicensingRights.com How To Monetize PLR – Today! When it comes to making money with private label rights, there are many different options available to you. You could: · Rebrand the content as your own and sell with personal rights. · Use the content to build quality authority-type websites and blogs. · Power up auto responder systems or create a newsletter for your niche. · Offer smaller segments of content as free downloadable reports. · Create incentive offers for squeeze and landing pages. You can also resell PLR content 'as is', or you could: · Hire an affordable freelancer to "tweak" the content and make it your own. · Compile multiple PLR products into one longer, full featured package. · Create training packages - "how to" guides and courses that include a variety of training material derived from various PLR content sources (reports, worksheets, ebooks, etc) How you monetize PLR will depend on your target audience, your niche, and your overall goals but one thing remains the same - you can start making money from PLR TODAY even if you've never done it before! Quick Start “Prep” Before you can monetize PLR, you need to complete a few simple steps that will not only help you make more money, but will drastically improve the quality of the PLR that you distribute under your brand. Edit Content Even if the content is professional and well written, you will want to touch up the content in a few different ways including: Inject Your Personal Message You want your customers to feel as though the content was written for them, so it's important that the information contained within the PLR release represents your personal message and voice. Touch up the content by adding in your own introduction, or add a "Note From: Your Name" at the beginning of each guide. Inject Your Brand If you are planning to use PLR to create information-style products for your business, it's important that each release carries a strong brand message. It's important to remain consistent with every product you release under your company and this may include font styling’s, color schemes, layouts, templates and even chapter titles or headlines. Run through each PLR product quickly and make sure that it reflects your company and the impression you wish to make. Inject Your Links Regardless if you plan to monetize PLR content or use it in giveaways, incentive offers or lead-in free products that capture attention and push your marketing message out to your audience, it's important that you include direct links to your websites and blogs. Every PLR product could be used as a lead generation tool or a traffic magnet, so take the time to add in relevant links that direct readers to other useful resources. Inject Your Sign Off Consider creating your own 'sign off signature' and add it to all of the PLR products you intend to use, in both your product line and marketing campaigns. This may be as simple as your full name, a slogan, message of encouragement or a logo. When editing content, you will also want to consider restructuring chapters and retitling Table of Contents to make it your own. Since PLR is sold to multiple buyers, changing things up just a bit will help prevent refund requests from customer's identifying the material as PLR (or as being sold by other people). Sometimes spending just a few minutes editing, tweaking, and improving the content and layout, can do wonders at adding incredible value to the PLR products you purchase, and in transforming each one into a product that you can call your own! Instant Monetization Strategies Once you have edited the content so that it better reflects your message and brand, the next step is to determine how you plan to use the content. · Do you want to create your own PLR store? · Do you want to upload PLR based products and sell them directly from your website? · Do you want to use PLR products as incentive offers on lead capture pages? Depending on how you plan to use or monetize PLR content – we will outline the next steps you need to take. To help you get started, here are a few ways that I instantly monetize every private label package I purchase: Setting Up A Store Creating a digital store that offers PLR content is exceptionally easy, especially with the power of Wordpress. There are many different templates to choose from that will help you create a full featured storefront in a matter of a few minutes. You can use a series of powerful plugins to handle the delivery and order processing. One of the easiest plugins that comes bundled with everything you need to set up a fully loaded e-commerce shop is found at https://getshopped.org/ Get Shopped offers a full payment gateway while providing instant protection for all digital products, making it easy to set up a digital storefront in minutes. If you already use a payment processor or product protection service such as ejunkie. com or DLGuard.com, you can easily integrate payment links into a blogbased eCommerce shop and let your preferred processor handle payments and delivery. If you aren't currently using a digital delivery system, you may want to take a look into https://www.digitaldeliveryapp.com/ , a fully loaded payment processing and delivery system that will automatically process orders, deliver digital files and even subscription based offers.

Table of Contents Linkedin Exposure ...... 3 What You Need To Know About Linkedin .............. 4 How To Build A Winning Campaign . 6 Step-By-Step Overview ................... 11 Case Studies ............. 14 Recommended Resources .............. 15 Sample Content Preview What You Need To Know About LinkedIn Before you create your advertising campaign on Linkedin.com, it's important that you really understand the market, and how you can exploit one of the leading channels for rock-solid, targeted, active traffic and quality leads. First of all, LinkedIn is known as a professional community, offering business owners and entrepreneur's with the opportunity to connect and network with their peers and to build a private community of people interested in their markets and industries. So, keeping their focus in mind, it’s obvious that the B2B market benefits the most from LinkedIn advertising campaigns. Does your business cater to other business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers? Do you have something of value and interest that would help others with their online and offline businesses? If so, then Linkedin.com advertising may be the tool you need to broaden your outreach, attract new business, and build up a steady stream of traffic to your company’s sales page or website. With LinkedIn, you can easily target: · 7.9 Million business decision makers · 1.3 Million small business (start-up) owners · 5.5 Million high tech managers · 4.2 Million Corporate executives And for people like Matt Johnston of Marketing at uTest, LinkedIn accounts for over 50% of ALL leads! Will LinkedIn become your secret weapon for unlimited, global outreach and qualified leads? Let’s find out! How to Build A Winning Campaign LinkedIn makes it very easy to create laser-targeted campaigns by allowing marketers to target ads to specific user demographics including: · Job title · Industry (or sector) · Interests · Qualifications & skills · Accreditations & affiliations · Members of existing LinkedIn groups It's easy to see why so many B2B have begun to advertise through LinkedIn rather than some of the other advertising channels such as Facebook, which only allow you to target ads by overall lifestyle interests. LinkedIn also simplifies the ad-creation process. In fact, within just a few minutes you can create a powerful, targeted ad that will appear throughout the entire network - and best of all, it can cost you as little as only $10 a day (a drop in the bucket compared to the vast majority of advertising channels online). And once you've created your ad it will appear in two prominent places - in the side bar (along with an image/photo and your advertising text) and depending on your ad's outreach (and overall performance), a text-only version of your ad may be used. LinkedIn ads include an image, 25-character headline and a 75-character description/text. Step 1: Build A Powerful Ad To get started, you will need to decide on what you want your message to convey. · Use power words and eliminate unnecessary "banter". Keep it short and concise. Since you are limited to just 75 characters, it's very important that you keep your ad wording tight, focusing only on action-based words that invoke emotion, excitement, attention and interest. · Focus on powerful headlines that will trigger a response from your audience and don't forget to test out different ads to determine best overall performance (this is called "split-testing" and will help you create a solid ad that yields responses). · Use relevant, eye-catching images that capture attention. Since your LinkedIn ads include an image, you should use this to your advantage. Make sure that your image is not only relevant but that it’s crisp, clear and represents your offer. · Choose your ad destination carefully. LinkedIn allows you to direct people to a link on your own website, or to a page on Linkedin.com such as a company page or group. · Use a VERY strong call to action. Focus on action-driven phrases such as “Click Here To Download”, “Sign Up”, “Request Demo”, or “Register” are all strong call to action statements that are clear and direct. · Implement a sense of urgency to encourage actions from viewers and boost click-through rates. “Limited Time Only”, “20 Copies Available”, etc. Step 2: Target Your Linkedin Ads It’s important to really narrow down your scope so that you are targeting a specific audience that is most interested in your services and offers. Linkedin offers many different targeting options including location, job function, industry, gender, groups and more. Take your time when creating targeted ads, ensuring that you are reaching out to the best audience possible. Step 3: Choose Ad Type & Set Budget You will have to decide whether you wish to set up an ad based on CPC (cost per click) or CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions). You will also have to set a daily budget, which is the maximum amount that you are willing to spend on your daily advertising. The cost to display ads will also vary based on the time of day – when users are more active on the website. For example, 75% of your ad’s daily budget may be spent in the mornings when there are a greater number of active users on the LinkedIn website, with the remaining 25% of your daily budget used throughout the evening. Once your daily budget has been met, your ads will no longer appear until the next day, so choose a reasonable budget to get started. You can continue to increase your ad spend once you’ve seen results. Also, keep in mind that each time a potential lead visits a page on Linkedin.com; an “ad auction” instantly takes place between your advertisement and other advertisers. Note: LinkedIn will provide you with a suggested bid range in order for your ads to appear, or an estimate of the current amount of all competing bids, giving you an idea as to the overall cost of winning the auctions. Step 4: Monitor Ad Performance In order to spend advertising dollars wisely and to ensure that your ads are performing well, it’s important that you closely monitor your LinkedIn advertising campaigns, specifically your click-through rate and your visit-tolead conversion rate. You can do this by setting goals within your Google Analytics account, available at https://www.Google.com/Analytics or you can use other marketing analytics software if you choose. Make sure to split test different variations of your LinkedIn ad campaigns. LinkedIn ads are carefully organized by individual campaigns making it easy to stay on top of ad performance. I recommend creating 3-4 ads per campaign with different headlines, call-to-action phrases, and images. Keep in mind that the ad that delivers the best response will automatically be used more frequently, receiving a higher number of clicks. Note: LinkedIn allows you to create up to 15 different ads for each individual campaign! Step-By-Step Overview To begin, visit https://www.linkedin.com/ads to create your LinkedIn advertising campaign. Enter in your Ad title, description, destination URL and call to action. Take your time when creating your ad paying special attention to the image you use, the call-to-action and headline. Next, assign your demographic targeting for your ad in order to reach the right audience. You can choose from location, company, job title, school, skills, group, gender, and age. You can also choose to reach additional members through the LinkedIn Audience Network. Next, choose your payment method as well as your advertising options (Pay per click or pay per impressions). You will now need to set your daily budget. LinkedIn will provide you with a recommended budget. And finally, choose when to show your campaign either continuously or until a specific date. Enter your billing information, double-check your order summary, and click “Submit Order” to complete the process!

It took years before I found a viable way to make fast cash online and before I stumbled across this "Carbon Copy" system, I was starting to believe that the only way I'd ever make money online was if I spent every waking moment huddled over my computer, working my fingers to the bone. And hey, I'm not afraid of a little hard work but I always questioned anyone's system that relied exclusively on manpower. After all, there had to be a way to make some good money while also exploiting the power of automation. Well I found that system after years of struggling within the constraints of a typical 9-5 job and now I'm making more money than I ever have before but without 1/4 of the 'usual' work involved. In fact, I spend no more than 20 minutes a day "working" and I continue to make thousands of dollars a month. Do you want in on this little money making system of mine? Good! Let me show you exactly how it's done. Let's begin! Turning $5 Into $20 Imagine just how much money you could make if every time you invested $5.00 it turned into a crisp $20.00 bill. Now imagine if there were no risks involved and you were guaranteed to always make more than you spent. How many $5 bills would you be willing to trade for $20 bills? My system relies on one key component that never fails AND it's designed so that the workload is not only minimized but can be automated! In fact, you won't be doing any of the work yourself at all! Here are the nuts & bolts of how this money-making system works: 1: You exploit existing services that are selling like hot cakes and you outsource the work - cheap. 2: You create a simple sales system that offers the service at a higher premium. 3: You serve as the middleman between the service provider and hungry customers who are anxious to pay for in-demand services. 4: You pay just $5 to the freelancer and charge each customer $20 (or more!) and pocket the difference. Bottom line: You resell services and make instant, ongoing money for doing very little! Does this all sound too easy? Too good to be true? Well, let me tell you that I am not the only one making insane money using this 'carbon copy' system. There are dozens of others who are exploiting this very system as a fast and easy way to make money, and you can do it, too. Consider the profit potential of making $15 for every $20.00 service you sold. If you sold even 10 packages every week, you'd make an extra $150.00 a week. That's $600.00 in easy cash every single month! Best of all, not only will you have very little work involved, (if you consider accepting money and paying someone to do everything 'work'), but you can start making money as soon as today, just by following my very simple system. It begins with creating a quick sales page that showcases the offer and gives customers a way to pay you. Creating A Killer Offer One of the most important steps to making the most money possible with this system involves creating a killer sales page that outlines the services you are offering. This is the one task that you will want to spend time on, because it essentially NEEDS to attract customers. This doesn't mean that you have to spend a lot of money hiring developers or designers. In fact, I don't want you to spend more than $40 on your website's design because you simply don't have to. Just head on over to https://www.ThemeForest.net Click on "Site Template" from the top navigation menu and it will load up hundreds of professional themes and templates that you can browse through. You're looking for a high quality theme that's easy to work with (so stick with HTML if that's what you are familiar with or a Wordpress theme if that's what you prefer). You don't need a website with all the bells & whistles, you're looking for a clean template, free of clutter, excessive graphics and one that loads quickly. I recommend searching through the "Retail Templates" category, as many of these themes will be designed around service-based templates. https://themeforest.net/category/site-templates/retail Once you've chosen a template, you will want to create a Theme Forest account, purchase the template, download and extract it. Next, open it inside of your preferred HTML editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. If you've done a good job at selecting a simple theme you shouldn't have to make any design changes. Your only task should be to write up your service offer making sure to highlight exactly what your customer will get and when they will get it. So, 1: Service outline 2: Delivery Date In order to create your sales page you will need to choose your service providers first. Then, you can simply use their existing service description to create the outline on your site! Finding Reliable Service Providers Finding professional and trustworthy service providers is key in making this system work. You want to focus on finding service providers that have been delivering on time, have a history of performance, have a higher rating and have proven that they can deliver as promised. So, where do I find the very best - most affordable - and reliable service providers online? Gig Sites! My main focus is on hiring service providers through https://www.Fiverr.com however you can explore as many other gig sites as you wish (although I'm confident that you will find as many providers as you'll ever need just from within the Fiverr community). With Fiverr, you pay only $5 per gig, and can turn around and price each service up to $20.00 or more on your site. This is the easiest way I've ever made money online and I guarantee, it will be the easiest way YOU ever make money as well. What you are looking for: Providers with history. It's too risky hiring new service providers that may discontinue their service shortly after you launch your website, forcing you to replace them. Focus on service providers that have established history with Fiverr and have offered their gig for at least six months. Proven Track Record. Choose only providers that have a high rating (95% or higher) and positive feedback from a variety of buyers rather than just one. Look for service providers with repeat customers indicating reliable delivery and customer satisfaction. Reviews. Read through all of the reviews for potential service providers, paying attention to both positive and negative. While even the best providers may have the occasional negative review, they should be few and far between with far more positive reviews left by satisfied customers. Consider emailing any service provider that you are considering prior to choosing them to complete services for your website. Contacting them will ensure that they are still active, and that they are easy to communicate with (prompt response, English speaking, etc). You can contact any potential service provider by clicking on the "Contact Seller" link at the top of every gig page. You will have to be logged into your Fiverr.com account in order to contact sellers. When it comes to making the most money possible by reselling services, it's important to focus only on services that are always in demand and proven to make money. To save you time, I've created a list of the top services found on Fiverr. These are in-demand services that visitor's to your website will gladly pay you for, time and time again. You can always find additional services just by paying attention to what's popular on Fiverr.com.

Image Showcase One of the most powerful components of a successful pin is in your ability to create, collect and display various images from your websites, resources, and even other website’s in your niche market. Visitor’s to Pinterest are interested in exploring relevant content pertaining to their interests, and while many of Pinterest pages are designed around specific brands, physical products and collectibles, you can easily create popular Pinterest pages around your offers, just by helping members discover your very own “themed” image collections. For example, if you are in the business of selling physical products, such as t-shirts, mouse pads, books, DVD’s or anything in which you can usual visual marketing components to sell your items, you can easily create a Pinterest page that includes a full collection of product images from your inventory. But even if you sell digital products, you can still take advantage of image themed pins by creating a visual library of everything associated to your brand, including your logo, ebook covers, and other image-based marketing materials. And don’t just stop there. With Pinterest you can also create visualmarketing campaigns around other image types including spreadsheets, graphs, charts, and even mindmaps! Examples of Successful Pinterest Campaigns Consider the image-based training tools that you use within your products. All of these can be used to create Pinterest based pages that provide a visual illustration of the services and products that you offer. Drawing from a couple of examples of successful Pinterest marketing, let’s take a closer look at Etsy – their Pinterest page vailable at https://pinterest.com/etsy/pins Etsy has developed a presence within Pinterest just by showcasing handmade crafts, clothing, vintage collections and designs from their community. But Etsy is only one of many online businesses who have taken advantage of Pinterests global community. Sony Music, Pepsi, clothing designers, interior decorators, and many other big-brand companies have established Pinterest accounts in order to futher connect with their target audience. When it comes to online businesses, Mashable has had great success with their Pinterest page, available at https://pinterest.com/mashable/pins Mashable is the perfect example of how online businesses can begin to generate high targeted traffic to their websites instantly, while maximizing exposure with very little work involved. The basis of Mashable’s Pinterest page is to simply take traditional blog posts and create a simple image-based overview or summary of each content piece. For example, if you were writing a blog post about the “Top 10 Traffic Sources For 2012”, you could easily create an image that represents ‘traffic’, with 10 headlines outlining the different traffic sources. You could then link that image to the full article on your blog, directing viewers from Pinterest to your website! When someone clicks on your image, they would be directed to a full article on your website or blog – or perhaps you may lead them to another social networking account such as Facebook or Twitter. You can direct people anywhere you choose from sales pages, squeeze pages, download pages (lead capture) – or to another one of your Pinterest pages. Viral Marketing With Pinterest There’s another powerful component to the way that Pinterest has been created – your pins can easily go viral! If people like your pins, they can choose to “re-pin” your content, maximizing exposure and carrying your message throughout countless Pinterest pages. If you take a closer look at a popular pin page, you can see the number of re-pins that took place for each update. In some cases, a single pin has been re-pinned hundreds of times! People can also “like” your pin, and the number of likes will appear at the bottom of your Pinterest pages. Creating images for your Pinterest pages is also extremely easy to do. You don’t have to have fancy graphics, nor do you have to outsource the work to a graphic designer. Quite often, the best pin based images are those that are simple, direct and to the point. Your image could simply be your product cover, with a direct link to your sales page. Or, for a more effective Pinterest campaign, you could create an image based around a current news headline, capturing attention from a larger audience, with your image leading them to a full article on your site that ties in with the current event. You want to focus on creative Pinterest campaigns that will reach a broader audience, and capture a browser’s attention quickly. Most of the images used by successful marketer’s are very simple and clear, while others create more elaborate graphics that include charts, full article content in image-form, and even cartoons that help carry their marketing message. Just get creative and start pinning every bit of content you can that will help to build awareness of your brand. There is nothing that can’t be pinned with a bit of imagination and creativity! Quick Start Ideas - Post comical or funny images that tie into your niche market, and lead people to a full article on your website. - Create Pinterest based contests and giveaway events encouraging other members to repin your pages. - Take advantage of visual “stimulators” and create pins that offer colorful images to attract attention. High resolution images from stock photo sites (providing you with a valid license to distribute) work well at capturing attention quickly.

Table of Contents GAMIFYING YOUR MARKETING .. 1 TAKING ADVANTAGE OF GAMIFICATION DYNAMICS ..... 7 EXAMPLES OF EFFECTIVE GAMIFIED MARKETING ...... 10 TOOLS & RESOURCES .... 12 Sample Content Preview There’s been a major shift in the realm of marketing over the last couple of years and as the Internet evolves, so must our advertising campaigns. We now (more than ever), need to master the art of ‘gamifying’ if we stand a chance at succeeding in our markets, because it’s not just the NEW way to advertise, it’s the most EFFECTIVE method of generating responses. So what exactly is ‘gamified marketing”? Gamification involves the use of gaming dynamics to generate repeat exposure, influence user activity and response levels and deliver brand messaging through the use of ‘consumer engagement’. In other words, gamification is the use of game design techniques, game thinking and game mechanics to influence, enhance and execute nongame contexts. Gamification can: · Help increase brand awareness · Nurture the consumer-product relationship · Encourage positive responses · Maximize sales (instantly) · Build customer loyalty and stimulate repeat business Gamifying Your Marketing If you think about the way that games are designed to work, you’ll quickly understand why gamification is such a powerful element of every successful marketing campaign. You’ve heard the term ‘viral marketing’, and chances are, you understand the concept of why viral marketing is so incredibly powerful. When people are encouraged to share information, to spread it amongst themselves and to keep bringing new traffic into the cycle, a single marketing campaign can literally explode overnight, driving in an overwhelming amount of traffic to an offer. Traffic unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and unlike anything you could ever do without the volume behind it. With gamification, you are using a combination of viral marketing with ‘engaging tools’ that have the potential to catapult your business to the next level, just by redefining the consumer-product relationship so that you are able to capture attention instantly, while delivering your marketing message as part of the consumer’s experience, rather than taking them away from what they are most interested in. In traditional marketing, using television commercials as just one example; you are interrupting the consumer’s experience in order to deliver your marketing message. When you interrupt the consumer, you risk their loss of interest because you’ve broken the connection. You do not want to lose that connection even for a moment or you may risk losing touch altogether. But with gamification, you are delivering your marketing message alongside the content that your customer is enjoying, maintaining the connection and providing your customer with a positive, engaging experience. Now that you understand what gamification is, the next step is to better understand how you can implement it into your marketing campaigns so that you can maximize your business exposure and compete in your market. Taking Advantage of Gamification Dynamics The social web has elevated ‘social gaming’ to a whole new level. These days, you can instantly maximize your business exposure just by providing ‘customer rewards’ such as loyalty points, badges or even prizes just for participating in on-site activities or being a part of your community. Here are just a few ways that you can begin to implement gamification into your marketing campaigns: Loyalty Programs Loyalty programs have been in existence for years but with the popularity of social web platforms, it’s never been easier to implement. With loyalty programs, the idea is to encourage a “build-up”. Loyalty programs are successful because they are based around a longterm strategy where customers save up points or work towards higher program levels where the rewards continue to increase in overall value. Here are a few resources that will help you build your own customized loyalty program: https://www.repeatrewards.com https://www.punchtab.com Incentive Offers Through Response Levels People enjoy earning things and when they feel as though they have had to accomplish something in order to receive the reward, it’s also more valuable to them than if it were merely given away. Keep this in mind when creating incentive-based offers and always match the offer with the level of engagement or action-based response. For example, completing a 2-minute customer survey might reward them with a 5% discount, whereas taking advantage of a product special may reward them with an additional 10%. Badges Badge based programs are one of the easiest to set up and can be offered through your website, blog or on your Facebook page. You can easily build your own personalized badge program here: https://www.badgeville.com/ While badge programs are simple in both concept and execution, they are a great way to test the waters, measure your customers’ overall interest, and evaluate response rates before moving towards additional gamification integration. For example, if you are a smaller start-up business, creating a badge based reward program is not only a fast and easy way to build brand awareness but it’s also affordable and requires no more than a bit of programming. You can launch your badge program from your Facebook business page and build up your following all at the same time!

Table of Contents COMPETITOR KNOCKOUT CREATING A POWERFUL USP . 1 THE IMPORTANCE OF A USP . 3 KNOWING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE ... 5 CREATING A SUCCESSFUL U.S.P 9 PRICE BASED USP .. 12 INTEGRATING YOUR USP .... 13 Sample Content Preview USP stands for Unique Selling Proposition (or Position) and it can literally make or break your business because it tells your target audience exactly why you are different, what you bring to the table and why they should choose you, over the competition. Without a USP, your product slinks into the shadows, barely able to compete in the marketplace. It doesn't stand out nor does it leave an everlasting impression in the minds of your prospects. In fact, without a USP it’s virtually impossible to create a unique brand that will be instantly associated to value because you haven’t defined what makes your business special. People will never recognize you as being any different from your competiton. The great news is that your business, or product already has a USP. It’s simply your job to define what that is and implement it into your marketing message so that your target audience knows exactly what you are offering, how they will benefit and most importantly, why they should go to your company or business, rather than the competition. So, where do you begin? How can you figure out what your U.S.P is and how to deliver your message to your audience of potential customers? It all begins by evaluating your business, your products and your offers. · How can what you offer improve someone's life? · How can it help your customer in some way? · Why do they need it? · Why should they purchase from you rather than the competition? · What are you offering that other people aren’t? Evaluating your product – your business and your offers objectively, from a third person perspective is incredibly important. It’s the only real way to determine your strengths and your weaknesses so that you can improve your business, reach out to your global audience and give them a genuine reason to come to you. And when you do this, you will never struggle in the market again because your USP will be the leading force that drives in non-stop business for many years to come. Knowing Your Customer Base Before you can create your USP for your business, you need to know your target audience – your customer base. What is most important to them? How can you truly connect to your target audience? What is their greatest challenge and how can you help them overcome it? The more you know your audience, the easier it will be to develop a USP that hits home with them – that provokes a positive response and really shows your customer base that you know what they need. When creating your USP, think from your customers perspective so that rather than identifying what YOU may feel is most important about your product, you turn it around - and focus on what THEY want to know and feel is most important to them. Dan Kennedy’s method for identifying a USP is in answering the question, “Why should I choose to do business with you versus your competitor?”. The very reason why you created a product in the first place could hold the key to defining your USP. Think about how your product is different than others on the marketplace, how does it add more value? How does it address a question, concern or simplify a process, such as reducing a learning curve, saving your customers time or money. Your product USP is the driving force behind defining value and creating a recognizable brand in your market. There are businesses who have so carefully highlighted their USP that they are able to charge DOUBLE what their competitors charge, and still sell out every single time simply because their USP adds perceived value to their products or services! One of the most well known examples of an effective USP is Dominos Pizza. The business, struggling and close to filing Chapter 11 needed a quick turnaround. Hence, the USP, “Fresh, hot pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less or it’s free” was coined. Then there’s Burger King who, competing against the McDonalds franchise giant had to stand out from the ‘pre-made fast food service, and successfully did so by coining the USP, “Have it your way” where customers are able to customize their meals based on their preferences. They put customers in control, and the USP was successful at helping them stand out. Other competitors in the pizza delivery business jumped on board, integrating powerful USP’s into their marketing campaigns, including Papa John’s restaurant whose USP promises “better ingredients, better pizza”. All of these businesses had existing competition yet became successful national franchises that are instantly recognized in their industry. They did this with the help of a powerful USP that made a clear promise and working to align your brand with delivering on that promise. Your USP will differentiate you from your competition; more than any other aspect of a marketing campaign ever will, but you need to make sure your USP is not only memorable, but believable. Using Federal Express as an example, their USP is “ when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight”, emphasizing their guarantee of prompt delivery service. “Absolutely, positively” reinforces that promise, adding extra punch to their USP while ensuring they can follow through. You want your USP to clearly define your brand, separate you from the competition and be believable. In today’s marketplace, your business will struggle to stand out from the crowd without a USP to give that extra boost it needs, so that it instantly offers an added incentive for prospects who are making the decision between purchasing your product or your competitors. Take your time when developing your USP. Think of ways that you can add unique flare to your product, how you can use your USP to demonstrate value, to illustrate performance, and to showcase the distinctive benefits of your product. Your USP should be described in a couple of sentences. You want to keep it short and to the point so that it lends "stickiness" to your campaigns and becomes quickly (and permanently) associated to your brand. Once you have defined your USP, you want to include it in every single marketing campaign. From newsletters, ezine advertisements, social media marketing, forum marketing, PPC advertisements, to your website itself.

But in today’s society of social media, it’s all about ‘relationship marketing’. You use forums as a way of connecting to your target audience quickly so that you can identify what they want and then deliver it to them. Forum marketing is a great way to build credibility in your market quickly, especially if you’re just getting your business off of the ground. It’s also a fantastic way to get in touch with the movers & shakers in your niche, while researching, evaluating and identifying points of entry (what type of products are likely to sell, what people are actively buying, looking for, etc.). Forum marketing is also very easy because you can allocate an hour a day to staying active within the community and continue to generate interest and traffic to your website, even from posts that you’ve written months ago! So, how do you drive traffic to your website from active forums in your market? One way is to offer free, high quality content, tools and resources to your audience. If done correctly, you’ll quickly develop a positive presence within the forums and people will begin to turn to you as an authority in your market. Nearly all forums offer the opportunity to create a profile that includes your URL, short bio and personal information such as your name, email address and in many cases, your social media accounts (like twitter or facebook). But forums also offer you another way to maximize exposure through what is called a “signature box”. A signature box is attached to every post you make and usually includes a few lines of text and a direct URL. Many forums allow only one URL, while others allow multiple URL’s as long as your signature does not exceed a certain length of characters. You want to include a direct URL to your very best content page. Do not link directly to a sales page, but instead, provide a direct line of contact from the forum – to a page on your website that offers something of value. This could be a page on your blog that provides direct download links to free products, tools and resources, or it could be a link to a squeeze page that offers a valuable incentive in exchange for their subscription. Traffic Source #2: Social Media Traffic Social marketing is all about directly connecting with your customer base, engaging them in conversation and building relationships with your target audience. One of the easiest ways of building a customer-based marketing campaign is to exploit the popularity of social networks like Twitter.com, Ning, Linkedin and Facebook.com. When it comes to social media there are countless ways to touch down and connect with your target audience. With Facebook, you could set up paid advertising campaigns that are set to deliver based on user activity. It’s a highly targeted form of advertising and a very cost effective strategy for those who want to test the waters while generating quick and steady traffic to their website. You can also set up marketing campaigns at no cost as well just by creating a Facebook page for your business and connecting with potential customers. You can enhance your Facebook pages by offering discounts, special coupons and savings available only to those who join your Facebook group, like your page or connect with you in another way. With social media platforms like Twitter, you’re able to connect with your audience easily just by sending out short updates, notices and news of interest. Instead of marketing heavily within your social communities, always focus on offering value in the form of useful information, hard to find material, freebies, discounts and other benefit-driven offers that will help you stand out while nurturing relationships within your market. And don’t forget other leading social networks like Linkedin.com and Ning.com, both viable social media platforms that will help you further extend your marketing outreach. Linkedin is considered the “professionals social media community” where you can create a live portfolio and resume that lists your achievements, connections, business information and contacts. With Ning, you are able to create your very own customized social media community, providing your customers, members and subscribers with a fun and easy way to interact with one another and with you. Traffic Source #3: Press Releases Press releases are a very effective and powerful way to reach out to your target audience and generate buzz around upcoming products, offers and launches. Press releases are also very inexpensive to produce and extremely easy to distribute. In fact, you can automate distribution by hiring press release circulation and distribution outlets that will tweak your press release and submit it to all of the major media stations, blogs and content syndication outlets. You can also submit your own press releases through both free and paid distribution channels, so regardless of your time and budget, press releases are an essential method of positioning your business for mass exposure. Here are the most important elements to include in your release: Release Time & Date: You want to place the time and date of your press release at the top of every news release, either indicating when the document can be made public, or “For Immediate Release” to show that it’s ready for distribution immediately. Headline: Summarize your storyline or message in just a few words. The objective is to immediately capture attention from potential customers and clients. Subhead: This expands on the headline and gives readers a bit more information about what your branding message is about. Dateline: Include the day that the document was released, and the place of origin (your city and state). You can choose to include your companys address, or simply include your website’s URL. Introduction: In a single paragraph, cover the basic elements that you’d find at the beginning of an article: who, what, when, where, why and how. Body: Expound on the introduction and go into your story. Use details, statistics and trend information to back up your assertions and get your points across. Bio/About “Your Company”: Include background on you and/or your company and its services. Closing marks: Use the symbols "###" or "-30-" to show that the press release has formally ended. Contact information: Include your contact information, website address and any other contact information that will make it easy for people to get in touch with you. Free Press Release Services www.MassMediaDistribution.com: Distributes press releases to newspapers, magazines, trade journals, TV, radio, blogs and online news sites. www.Betanews.com: Wide range of news distribution and social media options. www.Clickpress.com: Global news distribution services that services a wide range of companies/industries. Traffic Source #4: Ad Swaps Ad swaps have been around for years, yet they continue to go undiscovered by marketers online. Those that do see the value in them are able to instantly exploit the never-ending supply of targeted traffic to quickly grow their lists, and maximize exposure with very little effort involved. The objective with ad swaps is an exchange of resources. You simply find an ezine publisher or newsletters that are focused on your niche market, and ask them to exchange leads with you. They send an advertisement out for your offer, and in exchange, you do the same for them. The key to a successful ad swap is in finding marketers who are at the same level in marketing as you are, because you'll want to make sure that you can deliver an equal number of views and subscribers, as they are going to give to you.

You will have some competition in every niche that is profitable, but niche themes definitely have less overall competition than general themes. Another great advantage of niche themes is that they don’t require as many fancy bells and whistles as general themes. General themes require a lot of technical features to sell, because there is so much competition. People who buy general themes usually do so because they want specific functionality that they can’t find in a niche theme, so they buy a general theme and customize it to fit their niche. Obviously, the real disadvantage is that niche themes don’t have as large a market as general themes, but you will find it much easier to get started making money if you start with niche themes. As you can see, niche themes clearly win when you’re just getting started. Once you have built a name for yourself and people are seeking your themes by your name, you can move into general themes and you’ll find them quite profitable. However, niche themes will make you significant money while you build your business. Chapter Two: Researching the Market Before you start any type of business, it is crucial to research your market thoroughly. In big business, this would include all types of specific research and analyses, but for this type of business, such in-depth research isn’t required. Still, the last thing you want to do is invest time and money into a venture that isn’t going to make you a good profit. Fortunately, it’s relatively simple to do some preliminary research before you start building your first theme. You can use some of the popular theme selling websites to conduct your research, and it will only take you a relatively short period of time (perhaps a couple of hours) to complete your research. There are two things you need to determine: 1. The types of features people are looking for in a theme, as evidenced by the number of themes sold with a particular feature. 2. The most popular categories of niche themes. Make a list of the top-selling niche based themes you find. A list of 10-20 will be fine. You probably won’t want to choose one of the top 3-5, because there will likely be too much competition. However, if you see that the bestselling themes in a particular niche aren’t very impressive, you might find it easy to make a better theme and still compete. Once you have your list and you choose a niche to start with, make a list of popular features to include. The more features you include, the more expensive it will be to have your theme built, so choose only the few most important features. Chapter Three: Planning a Layout Once you’ve decided on your theme and your features, it’s time to plan your theme’s layout. You can do this on paper, but it might be more effective and efficient to do it in Photoshop or any other graphics program you are proficient in. Even if you aren’t graphically inclined, you don’t need to worry about making anything fancy or elaborate. All you need is a basic layout of what you’re looking for and what you want the theme to look like. This is just something you can give to your designer to show them what you’re looking for. You can use placeholders and text to dictate most of the layout. Here’s an example: As you can see, your layout graphic doesn’t have to be fancy or elaborate. You don’t even have to include any images – just label them however you want them added. Your designer will add them later. Different Markets, Different Layouts One thing you may notice is that different markets may have very different layouts. What works for the weight loss niche may not work so well in the recipe niche or the Internet marketing niche. This is another important place to perform research. Find out what types of layouts are most popular in the niche you choose, especially among those that are selling well. Then tailor your theme to match these popular themes. Not All Layouts Work for WordPress Something you should keep in mind is that not all layouts will work well with WordPress. WordPress, like most content management systems, has its limitations. If the layout you create isn’t compatible with WordPress, your designer should be able to tell you ahead of time. However, you might want to run it past your theme designer if you will be using two different people to create your theme. You may be using one designer to create the PSD, and a different person to cut up the PSD and turn it into the theme. In that case, show it to the one who will actually be creating the theme for their approval before the PSD designer gets started. Chapter Four: Locating Theme Designers As mentioned in the previous chapter, you may need more than one person to complete your theme. The first person you will need will be the Photoshop designer. This person will create the basic design of your theme. They may be able to cut the theme up for you as well, but some designers aren’t proficient at this, which means you may need to hire a second person to cut up the PSD design provided by your designer and turn it into your completed theme. Here is one place to have your PSD design cut up and turned into a complete, functioning WordPress theme: https://www.xhtmlchop.com/psd-towordpress. html?gclid=CLmtgM2e5rUCFUvHtAodWGIAoA The service starts at just $99, so it is very affordable. If you want added features and functionality you should expect to pay considerably more, but a theme that is complete with bells and whistles such as an image slider or built-in email collection box will sell much better and be much more profitable in the long run. Quality Assurance Before you hire any designer, ask to see examples of WordPress designs or themes they have created in the past. Find out what level of programming ability they have, and whether or not they will be able to add the features you need. This is the first step in assuring your theme is of the highest possible quality. Don’t forget that the theme must be fully tested before you begin selling it. If possible, find some beta testers who are willing to help you test the theme 12 thoroughly before you put it on the market. If there are any bugs found after the theme is released for sale, make sure you respond and get it updated quickly. Otherwise your reputation will be harmed before it’s even built. User Customization One important feature you will probably want to have your theme creator include is the ability for users to customize the theme on their own from within the WordPress admin area. There are many different levels of theme customization. It can range from simple tweaks such as selecting where the sidebars are located, up to something much more complex such as changing the background image and even changing the entire layout for different pages of the site. Chapter Five: Creating a Design You must work very closely with your designer to build a theme you’ll be happy with and that will sell well to users in the niche you’ve chosen. You will want to find a designer who is willing to make multiple changes when you aren’t happy with certain elements of the theme. In order to minimize changes (which will make your designer very happy) start out by giving the designer very clear instructions, along with a few examples of themes you really like. This will help the designer understand your personal taste and style so they’ll be more likely to create something you like. Don’t forget to let the designer know about any special functionality you will be having built into the theme. Some of these functions may require additional graphics, so the designer will need to know in advance what types of extra graphics you’ll need. The design you receive will most likely be in PSD format for Photoshop. This file is not ready for use as a WordPress theme. It is only the base graphic file. If you happen to find a designer who can also do complete WordPress themes, you may get the entire theme delivered immediately. However, most designers will simply deliver the PSD file and you will have to go to someone else to have the design chopped and packaged. In the next chapter, you’ll learn more about that process.

Their strategies have made them the powerhouse they are today. Let’s take a look at some of the different revenue models Amazon have developed, and how you can use them to your advantage. Amazon Prime Amazon Prime is a program Amazon debuted a few years ago. Initially, the program’s primary advantage to customers was tremendous savings on shipping costs on products sold by Amazon.com, but it has evolved to offer other benefits as well. The program lets people get overnight shipping for $2.99 per item, and 2-day shipping FREE! An Amazon Prime membership costs $99 per year, but considering overnight shipping can cost $20 or more for a single item without an Amazon Prime membership, the savings can add up quickly. One thing that makes Amazon Prime so powerful is that people tend to order a lot more from Amazon once they become a member. It’s hard to order an item from another retailer when standard shipping from that retailer would potentially be $7-$10 and the item would take a week to arrive, when you could get FREE shipping and have the item in two days or $2.99 and have it in 24 hours. This means Amazon Prime members are prone to do most, if not all of their online shopping with Amazon instead of their competitors. But Prime members get other benefits, as well. Amazon keeps adding new benefits regularly. Here are a few of the current benefits of Amazon Prime membership: 1. Access to thousands of streaming television episodes and movies included with membership. 2. Unlimited Music Streaming 3. Unlimited Photo Storage 4. The ability to borrow one Kindle book each month for free. 5. Free 2-day shipping on millions of different items. 6. Overnight shipping for $2.99 per item. These benefits alone could be worth thousands of dollars, so you can see why so many people pay $79 per year to receive them. While you can’t make money directly from the Amazon Prime program, it will benefit you enormously by making it much easier to get people to buy the things you are selling, because many people (especially Prime members) will already be loyal to the company. Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) One of the most popular programs Amazon has developed in recent years is their KDP program. KDP stands for Kindle Direct publishing. Their program allows authors and publishers to make their content available for sale through the Kindle platform and receive huge commissions on sales. There are two commission structures: 1. Earn 70% commission on products between $2.99 and $9.99. 2. Earn 35% commission on products between $0.99 and $2.98 and on products $10 and up. As you can see, the most lucrative prices for your books would be between $2.99 and $9.99, but if you’re interested in bulk sales you could certainly price at $0.99. Just remember that you would have to sell six books at $0.99 to get paid as much as a single sale at $2.99. You can publish nearly anything on the KDP platform. Here are some examples of products people publish on Amazon: • Short stories and story collections • Children’s picture books • Cookbooks • How-to books • Novels • Poetry collections Amazon does have fairly strict quality standards, but perhaps not as strict as you might expect. They don’t really pay a lot of attention to the quality of the story or the content itself, but they do care about things such as formatting, length, spelling and grammar. Don’t expect to publish a 5-page report full of typos and get away with it. Once you publish something on the platform, it will be available to anyone who has a Kindle device, as well as anyone who downloads the Kindle app to their computer or mobile device. The Kindle app is available for both Mac and PC computers, as well as many different devices including iOS (for iPad and iPhone) and Android. When people purchase your publication, Amazon will give you a commission. Commissions are paid monthly approximately 60 days after the end of the pay period. So it will be a couple of months before you receive your first payment, but you’ll receive payments monthly after that. CreateSpace Amazon also has a program that will enable you to publish your content in print format, as well. This program is called CreateSpace, and it will let you choose from a variety of different paperback sizes and then publish your content in print. While most people don’t earn as much money with their printed material as they do digital, making your content available in print helps expand your reach to those who prefer printed material, which can increase your visibility considerably. Amazon Advantage If you have content you have already published in a physical format somewhere other than Amazon, you can use the Amazon Advantage program to sell it through the Amazon website. This program costs $29.95 per year plus a 55% discount of list price for Amazon on every sale. However, taking advantage of this program could drastically increase your visibility and it could be well worth it to get such a lucrative new distribution channel. In order to qualify for the Amazon Advantage program, your content must: 1. Be in physical format, not digital. (Example, CDs, DVDs, printed books, etc.) 2. Have a scannable ISBN/EAN/UPC barcode. Amazon WebStores Amazon now makes it easier than ever to open your own e-commerce store without having to spend a fortune doing so. With Amazon WebStores, you can open your own online store quickly and easily at a cost of between $0.00 and $39.99 per month plus a small commission on sales. For this fee, you can create as many stores on Amazon as you like, and you can even supplement your offerings with products from Amazon’s own catalog if you like. Amazon aStores If you don’t have your own product(s) to sell on your website or on an Amazon WebStore, you can still have your own e-commerce site by selling Amazon products as an affiliate through an Amazon aStore. Setting up an aStore is very simple as an affiliate. You just choose some design aspects, choose products, and you get a link to your aStore you can send people to. You earn a commission on sales just like any affiliate.
