I’m by no means an offline expert but in the last few months I’ve been able to make a pretty good profit offering a FANTASTIC service that was actually inspired by another internet marketer “Doran Peck” (whom seems to have fallen off the planet).

I’m not sure if this can work for you as it requires quite a bit of prospecting and you’ll need to be able to do some design work (or contract it out) but it’s not terribly difficult.

I visit local businesses and close them on buying ad space on a giant postcard I’ll be sending out in the mail to 10,000 local residents. I sell the spaces for $495 each and can fit 16 large ads on a 9″x12″ postcard.

If you send them out using the post offices “every door direct” program, you don’t need any list or permit, you just have them printed and you pick the carrier routes you want to saturate, and get them to the post office. This means that for $495 they get pretty much a GUARANTEED 100% exposure of their Advertisement, which only postcard marketing can do.

I’ve done 2 cards so far and had a tracked response of 13% on the first one and 22% response on the 2nd! I’m being 100% serious here and you’ll see the same results if you get good offers on there for services that people frequently use. (Restaurants, oil changes, pizza, seasonal, etc…)

I can give more details and provide pictures of my last cards if you need proof, but I just thought I’d share what’s working for me and what could be a very cool method of making some money for you. It’s pretty awesome hearing things like “your ad got me more response than anything I’ve ever tried” type responses.

Ask any successful internet marketer and they will tell you “the money is in the list”.  By list, they mean their mailing list, those who have opted in to receive emails from that particular marketer.  It may seem obvious to those who have been into online business for any length of time, but there are many websites who do not have any way of capturing visitors email addresses on their website.  This means they are missing out on earning a lot more profit, for very little extra effort.

You may have heard the terms “cold list” and “warm list”.  A cold list is a list of subscribers who haven’t been contacted in a long time, so their response to any emails would be low.  However, a warm list is when the list owner has been regularly contacting their list, interacting with them and offering them a reason to stay subscribed to that list.

Having a warm list is very important, not only does it mean that any offer or call to action you send out will be given a better response, but it also means that your conversion rates will be higher.  Your conversion rate is the number who actually buy or take action, divided by the total number of subscribers you send the email to. After you’ve had your list for a while you should know what your conversion rate is for different mailings.  Knowing this information will tell you how profitable each new subscriber will be to you, as well as existing subscribers.  This is the main reason building a mailing list is important, once you know what your conversion rate is, you can almost guarantee how much money you will make each time you send out a sales email.

To keep a list warm there are some things you should do, namely build trust with your list.  Let your list know a bit about you, be approachable and send quality, non-sales information regularly and only sprinkle in sales emails and affiliate offers.  Be trustworthy about the offers that you send out, never promote junk offers just to make a few bucks.  Think long term profits from your list rather than quick profits that could ruin your long term future.

Unfortunately some internet marketers after hearing that the money is in the list, start to spam their lists with offer after offer hoping for that big pay day.  It is very easy for your subscribers to unsubscribe and chances are they will never resubscribe either and it’s your reputation on the line.

There are numerous ways to build your mailing list and it is important to note that by testing and measuring which methods bring the most opt-ins, you can create a highly effective list building strategy which you will profit from for years to come.

There are many ways that you can use plr for online business or internet marketing, here are just 3 tips on using plr articles for maximum benefit.

1.  Rewrite the article for article directories and web 2.0 websites.

Often getting started writing content can be stressful so using a plr article as a starting point can take away that stress.  As there will be other people using the same plr article as you, it’s a good idea to rewrite the article before using it so that it becomes unique to you, as the author.  There are many different article spinning softwares on the market and once you’ve rewritten the article you can put it through this software to get many more versions of the article that you can use.  You can then use this as content for your own site, article directories and all the different web 2.0 websites that you may be using to create backlinks to your main website.

2.  Combine the plr articles into reports

If you have plr articles on the same subject, you can easily put them together, in a logical order and create a short report from it.  With this report you can use it as a promotional tool to give away to new opt-ins subscribing to your mailing list, submit it to document sharing websites or sell it to your mailing list and site visitors.  Before you do this, it’s often a good idea to edit some of the content and personalise it so that it has your voice.  Another great way to personalise it, is to create an ecover for it with your branding.  Adding graphics is a great idea, you can also add related photos and images within the report to make it even more unique to you.  There are lots of image sites online to find just the right images for the job.

3.  Repurpose the plr article into a video

You may find that there are hundreds of people using the same plr article as you, this is especially true when using free plr articles.  One way to get extra mileage out of these articles is to turn them into videos.  By creating videos out of your articles you can then submit them to the many video directories available online and get more viewers for your article as well as creating backlinks to your website.  It is very easy to create a video from an article by inserting the article into a PowerPoint presentation and recording the screen show with software such as Camtasia.  Another way to create your video is by using one of the many video to article software applications that you can easily find online.
