Three Ways To Double Your Internet Income

Guest blog post by Jason Parker

Hello readers of Robert Plank.  A little bit about me... I'm a pro internet marketer with my own LLC and I also work behind the scenes for a multi-million dollar IM information empire.

Since I'm well-connected with some of the richest internet marketers online, I hear about new tactics almost every week, and about future tactics before they're even revealed.  For example, I knew the ins-and-outs of micro continuity last year, and now Russell Brunson is exposing it to the world.  I knew about CPV advertising through Zango before it was even semi-exposed (now Zango is shutting down, and the honey hole is about to be gone).

My point is, in my environment I get to test the effects of marketing tactics all day.  Through this process I've come up a set of bread-and-butter tactics that can blow your income through the roof.  If you want to double your income, implementing just 1 of these 3 ways can make that happen for you.

Double Your Income Way #1:
Swap JV Contact Info

Perhaps the most powerful tactic I've ever used to explode my income is dead simple and makes you think, “Why didn't I think of that?”  The secret I'm talking about is swapping JV contact info.

Step #1: You go to your Top 5 joint venture partners and say, “I'll give you the names and e-mail addresses of my Top 4 JV partners if you give me the names and e-mail addresses of your Top 4 JV partners.  Also, I'll e-mail each of my JV partners and give an endorsement for you by saying you and I have successfully made money together in the past, while you do the same for me.”

Step #2: You set up JV deals with your 20 new JV partners.  Some ideas are to... Do ad swaps, which means you send an e-mail with a naked link to your list for them, and they do the same for you. Or you can cross promo your products using affiliate links.  Or you can even set up a webinar or call, split the cash from the pitch at the end, and make some serious loot.  The beauty of JV deals is that you're getting free, endorsed traffic to your website, and that's one of the most profitable types of traffic you can get.

Step #3: After the successful JV deal, you go back to Step #1, except this time you trade JV contact information with your 20 new JV partners.  Let's say you trade your Top 5 JV partner contact info for their Top 5s.  Now you have 100 new JV partners.

Keep in mind you may not have exactly 20 or 100 new JV partners, because you'll find you'll start penetrating different internet marketing circles and you'll be reaching the same people.  For example, you might break into ClickBank Circle A, then CPA Marketers Circle A, then ClickBank Circle B, then PPC Affiliate Circle A.  Instead of staying in the same circle of JV partners, this tactic allows you to join multiple circles, and potentially you'll start reaching the “Guru” circles.  What you'll mainly find, however, are circles of mid-level marketers who are making $3,000-$15,000 per month who have lists between 5,000-20,000 or another big resource to leverage like a high traffic authority site.

Double Your Income Way #2:
Hands-Off Multiple Streams Of Traffic

I work for a company that makes 1 sale every 3 minutes online, and this is how they do it.  We get traffic from a lot of quality sources... SEs (Organic), Articles, Press Releases, Joint Venture Traffic, PPC, CPA, CPV, Video Traffic, Podcast Traffic, Twitter Traffic, Facebook Traffic, Forum Traffic, Social Bookmarking Traffic, MySpace Traffic, Ezine Solo Ad Traffic, Offline Ad Space Traffic.  That's what I call multiple streams of traffic!

Can you imagine what it would be like trying to get traffic from all these sources everyday?  Exausting and time consuming.  To tell you the truth, we are getting this traffic in an almost completely hands-off way.  And the secret is this...  You open up a new source of traffic and you get it going until it's profitable, then you hand it off through outsourcing.  The same person who handles your PPC, may also handle your CPV and CPA since they're all 3 very mathematical.  The person or company that handles your SEO, might also do your articles, videos, and podcast because they're similar and work together.  The person who builds your Twitter following, also does your other social media marketing.

Double Your Income Way #3:
Consistent Traffic To High Quality And High Converting Continuity Program

Once you have a continuity program that's both quality and converts high for your clients or the type of prospects you attract, then it's a good idea to funnel 100 or more hits to that program every day.  This can also be your own continuity program or a recurring commission affiliate program.  If you have a content website that gets a lot of traffic already from quality sources, then you might be OK putting a banner for the continuity program on your site.  (Are you promoting a one-time sale product right now? Why would you promote a product on your website to get only one-time sales when you can get 2-4 low-end sales out of the same customer and still funnel them into the high end stuff?)  If you're primarily an e-mail marketer like me who doesn't have an authority site and relies on 100-1000 hits of quality traffic per day, then you can promote the continuity program in a lot of different places in order to drive consistent traffic to it.

Place #1: A Banner Ad On Your Opt-In Thank You Page.  This is where I drive a lot of daily traffic to a continuity program.  Not only does this build paid subscriptions, but I find that the banner alone makes me profit on the frontend for whatever advertising I'm doing.  If you're constantly building your list, then you should be able to send 50-250 hits per day to the continuity program.

Place #2: Global Fields P.S. In your Global Fields for any autoresponder, you can place a signature that's automatically shown when you blast an e-mail.  I have 2 P.S.s  The 1st P.S. invites my subscribers to reply to my e-mails so we can build a relationship.  The 2nd P.S. is where I drive 25-100 hits per day to the continuity program.

Place #3: Forum Ads.  You can buy ad space above the fold on a related forum, rent out the signature file of a member on a forum who has a lot of posts, or if you sell to internet marketers, then you can buy Warrior Forum Classified ads.  Using these tactics you can expect to drive another 50-250 hits per day to the continuity program.

Let's say you use all of these tactics and the continuity program pays $48.50 per subscriber per month.  For you it's converting at 2% since the continuity program has a 30 day trail period.  If you can send 125-600 hits per day into that continuity program from these quality sources above, then you can expect to add 2-12 subscribers per day.  If you add 2 subscribers per day for 30 days, then you just potentially created a recurring $1,455 per month income stream.  If you add 6-12 subscribers per day, then you'll potentially create a $4,365-$8,730 income stream every 30 days.

Reality... Add in average retention rate.  About half of those who pay the 1st month are likely to pay for 4 months in a row.  Subtract pending commission due to bounced charges. Subtract those who cancel during trial period (very few do if the continuity program is high quality).  Add in your new subscribers with the ones you've retained.  And that's how much money you're making from the continuity program each month.
