The Slide In Code due for official launch on Tuesday July 27 and having reviewed the product, I can see some great advantages for all Internet Marketers looking to grow their business

The Slide In code enables marketers to insert an unobtrusive opt in box on their blog, sales  or affiliate page without an annoying popup or pop under diverting the browser’s attention away from the main message.

Here is a full list of features associated with the Slide In Code

SLIDE IN TECHNOLOGY

Upon completion of page loading, your SlideIn will emerge discretely within the user’s web browser. The SlideIns are well within the readers field of vision and the “SlideIn” motion grabs and maintains their attention. While at the same time, it poses minimal content blockage, creating a positive experience for the user. The manufacturers claim  SlideIn Technology has boosted  opt-in subscription rates, grow  Twitter lists,  increase  banner ad click-thrus and critically  maximize  Sales and ROI – withoutan increase in traffic.

Creating a SlideIn via Slide In Code’s Form Wizard is as simple . Once you’re finished, simply copy and paste the one line of HTML code into your web page or blog, and start capturing subscribers, followers and impressions… 24 hours a day.

SLIDE IN ON ANY WEB PAGE

SlideInCode allows you to make money without owning a website or blog! They have created and integrated a cool feature that allows you to add your slidein to ANY online web page!

Imagine the potential of being able to place a Lead Generation SlideIn on your Twitter page, your FaceBook page, your MySpace Page, your YouTube Page, your LinkedIn page, an Affiliate Sales Page or any web page for that matter! This technology lets you do exactly that! Seriously, proper application of this tool will enable you to build a huge list of opt-in subscribers, – and opt in subscribers are the basis of any real legitimate on line business

ANALYTICS TRACKING

SlideInCode allows you to track your SlideIn Ads so that you can keep your best performing ones and eliminate your  poorperformers

ELIMINATES SALES PAGE ABANDONMENT

This is really cool.  Traditional opt-in forms redirect potential subscribers to a confirmatory page and away from your website – causing leakage of your opt in rates.  With Slide IN Codes – the thank you message is displayed on site, leaving prospect on page and engaged – potentially increasing confirmed op tin rates.  To my mind this is reason enough to get SlideIn Code.

VERDICT

SlideInCode is a quality piece of software that will help you increase subscriber rates.

If you are serious about Internet Marketing and building a quality opt in list SlideInCode will assist you in that task.

Reasonably priced with a 30 day money back guarantee and a $1 trial offer during the launch period, I highly recommend SlideInCode

Back in my banking days, I had to fill out endless reports on a plethora of largely useless information.  You could pretty much bank on me getting curt reminders from officious admin staff demanding that I complete their weekly toilet roll return (I’m only half joking) or something equally absurd on a daily basis.  there was one report however, that I completed on time every time.

It was my sales funnel report.

In it I had to detail the number of Housing Loan conversations my branch had initiated, followed by the number of leads, prospects, sales and very importantly cross sales that followed.

In Australian banking, the ultimate Sales Funnel is A Housing loan -you can easily cross sell nine or ten product off the back of the Housing interview because everything fits neatly hand in glove.  Completing the report made sense and was a useful management tool.

A sales funnel is essential in any form of marketing but probably more so in online marketing.

You still need to generate leads, turn them into prospects and ultimately customers.

My eBook and system Break Free Traffic is my primary sales funnel -it’s what I use to generate leads to my mailing list and also acts as a referral source to a heap of money and traffic making programs for me.

Contained within the eBook are at least three primary sales funnels – these are Affiliate Funnel, Traffic Exchange Profits and Traffic Hoopla.

These three programs contain links to dozens of affiliate programs that aren’t necessarily part of my primary business focus – but here’s the clincher – by taking the time to ensure that all of my affiliate links are recorded within these three funnels, I do make the occasional referral and sale – without doing anything.

Where I fall down is the next level, the downline builders within the sales funnels.  A classic example of what I mean is the downline builder’s offered at most Traffic Exchanges and safelists.  I have to confess that not all of these are filled out and that’s to my detriment.

Yes it takes time – but if you make the effort to complete all of these downline builders you can guarantee that over time they will generate referrals for you.

I’m plugging the leaks in my sales funnel – are you?

Lead generation for your Home Business Opportunity will be the lifeblood of your business.

Anything that can give you targeted free traffic to lead generation sign up pages is worth taking a close look at.

Leads Leap is a free to join program that gives great value and with a little promotion (Preferably directly to your list – but it can be done directly) will ensure that your ads will be seen regularly by a growing list of business opportunity seekers.

This Leads Leap Tour video perhaps best explains exactly what Leads Leap offers

Essentially Leads Leap will display your advertisement across its network and through its targeted blog as well as directly to your downline 10 levels deep.

Now there are many programs like Leads Leap, and I confess that when I joined this program I dismissed it without giving it due consideration.   I don't have a lot of time to earn advertising credits , so I either like traffic to be organic, viral or I'll pay for it.   I dismissed Leads Leap as being a text ad type site without giving it the due regard it deserves.

The fact is that Leads Leap can give organic traffic through it's cool blog widget which I'm deliberately displaying here to demonstrate what it looks like and will be displaying on several of my blogs in the side panel.

Additionally Leads Leap offers many other great ways to generate free traffic including a great tool called the affiliate re-brander.  Just downloading this free tool , setting it up and giving it away will generate leads to your chosen lists or business opportunities as well as Leads Leap

This is one free traffic source that I highly recommend to you.

I revisited what was Graham Hamer's Profit Plan today and was totally non-plussed as to why I haven't being promoting it.

The Profit plan originally took shape in 2002 and was marketed through Clickbank with the slogan Guaranteed Profit or One On One Guru Training Until You Make A profit.

It did massive business and was the forerunner to Internet Marketing staples like the Traffic Jam, Profit Blaster, Profit Arena and the X Factor Ciphers,

Profit Plan resurfaced albeit in a different format and with a different slogan about two years ago.  I bought it and made a profit within twenty four hours.  I was at the time beginning to experiment with my own products and the downside of this was that I tended to push Profit-plan to the back of my marketing efforts and I never really made the most of its potential – my fault not the program's.

The plan is very simple – give away a free report – detailing a simple plan that will not only give give you the purchase price of the plan back in your pocket with your very first sale, but give you Master Resale Rights to 17 quality electronic products.  It's legal, takes absolutely no time to set up and it worked for me.

One of the fall backs that I saw with Profit Plan when it was produced was what I like to call "the Affiliate Silver Bullet fault" in as much as it  captured leads but I then had to manually load those leads into an autoresponder – it was for me, cumbersome, but many people would be grateful for the automated delivery and follow up associated with the report.

Having revisited the report, and with the benefit of two years more marketing experience, I was able to set up a simple squeeze page  that enables me to do my own follow up and migrate leads into my mailing list.

This adaption of the program makes Profit Plan a much more attractive proposition for me while the simple sales/squeeze page that Profit Plan generates would make it attractive to novice Internet Marketers.

As a home business opportunity Profit Plan makes good sense, taking very little time to set up, being based on sound business principles and giving the average Internet Marketer a good chance of making a profit.

Home business opportunities are just that – opportunities.
What you choose to do with them and how you go about promoting them will ultimately determine your success.
Let’s be clear about this.
There are thousands of online programs promising that they have “unlocked the code”, “do ninety nine percent of the  work for you”, promise you “forced spillover” or some other bald faced lie.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but there are no shortcuts in this business. 
To succeed you need to establish yourself as a credible authority in your chosen niche.
There is no need to be alarmed by this.
It just takes a little thought and some determination to be different from  the vast crowd of opportunity seekers out there.  If you can offer quality information and advice to people, you will build a loyal following – a following that will ultimately repay you for your guidance.
Of course, there are some non negotiable assets that you require to build your reputation, your business and your brand.
They are a domain name, web-hosting and an auto-responder and your own genuine experience.
From there it is a relatively easy process to write a short report on a chosen service, technique  or product in your chosen niche and offer it as a free gift to potential subscribers.
“Wait a minute Mark, I can’t do this – I have no credibility, I’ve never made a sale,” I hear you say.
But there are things that you can do – if you have  a will to do it.
You could write a report on how to set up an autoresponder series correctly.
You could write a report on a new emerging social media program that you are aware of just describing the features and benefits – or even a report on automated Twitter income from a program like Twivert .
You could describe how you got 100 Twitter followers in a week or even better how to use Twitter properly
You could write a report on things to avoid like the plague (HYIP, Cyclers, Doublers, the list is endless really.)
You could join a program like Chitika (an Adsense alternative) and target it directly at people who have lost their Adsense accounts
You could write a report on how easy it is to set up a WordPress blog and the plugins you use.
You could write a report and review on a product that you use and like.

This is where you start your business and then you pass on good information, helpful hints and occasional recommendations.  If you do this people will be glad to receive you communications because you are stamping yourself as somebody different from the usual hype driven constant buy buy buy crowd that this industry is made up of.
Brand yourself as a voice of reason.
People will follow you.
But you need to build that relationship by recommending quality products and services.  Steer clear of the hype fueled “business opportunities” that are nothing more than pyramid scams. 
There are good products out there – products that educate , products that are essential tools and products that map out a business plan
Of course you can go a step further and create short videos and post them on you-tube – once you start the ball rolling, you can’t stop it.  In fact this post has given me enough fuel to write 6 posts.
“But Mark, I don’t know how to make my report available or how to make it a PDF document”  These things are learn-able, and easy when you know how.  What’s more once you’ve learned them you can teach them – via a report of course.
And to make matters easier the next post on this site will be instructional on how to do exactly that.
There is no excuse not to go down this road -it is the price of online success and will open many doors, the question is are you prepared to pay the price or are you willing to accept  a program owner’s word that their program will do it all for you.

Tompedia without doubt is the most comprehensive complete online marketing guide ever produced.  It is indeed as the name implies an online marketing encyclopedia.
Packed with over 40 hours of video instruction and a mass of printed material available both online and in printable PDF format.
Tompedia contains literally everything that you ever needed or wanted to know about marketing online and it is 100% accurate.
Written and developed by two Internet Marketing veterans, Graham Hamer and Jennifer Herold, Tompedia over delivers on content quality and presentation.

This is a must have publication for anyone looking to build a serious online business.

If there is one program you buy this year – this should be it.

Grab it now by going here.  This is the ultimate online marketing resource.
For a sneak preview, watch this video

Most Home Business Opportunities expect you to pay reasonable sums of money to buy in in to the opportunity.  Predictably the odds are stacked against the average Home based business owner from the start.
Most home based business opportunities expect/train  you to promote their business opportunity pages everywhere.  Effectively they use the promoter as a cheap form of advertising, “helping them” with pre written advertisements and cookie cutter website templates that they give everybody else.  They then have the power of mass advertising to brand their product.

Most program members/affiliates or “independent representatives are left to desperately scramble for the odd sale while the “business opportunity” owners kick back and watch the cash roll in.

The lie is told and sold everyday.

“We do 99% of the work for you all you have to do is promote.”

It just doesn’t work.

Not for the little guy.

It’s been irking me for a long time, so I’ve been working on a program that really does give the little guy a real business opportunity.

The program will teach people to develop their own truly independent website that they can change to their own needs as circumstances permit and it will actually cost nothing to be a member of.

Yes there will be some recommended purchases, but these are necessary must have tools that make home Business possible.

I’m excited about what I’ve put together.  Look out for it it can turn the home based business opportunity scene on it’s head

The Internet is so full of get rich quick schemes, scams and programs that simply do not deliver on their promise  that it becomes almost impossible for the hopeful Home Business Opportunity seeker to recognize a real opportunity when it presents itself.

Even if they do they are really up against it because they need to develop a clear strategy for promoting it and leveraging off it to make money.

Too often I watch hopeful wet behind the ears opportunity seekers crash and burn as they try and promote some mythical money making machine that spits out $20 bills on the hour like clockwork.

It doesn’t work never has, never will.

Even a product like Traffic Wave which is a great tool, with a wonderful affiliate program is difficult for the average Joe to promote because they have no clear strategy, and no real idea of what they’re trying to do.

I’ve tried to address this problem several times by developing my own products, but people always ended up promoting my product and not their own business.

Invariably they failed, while I did reasonably well.

It irritated me so much that I put together a re-brandable package that encourages the business owner create their own online presence by providing them with free web-hosting, linked to my re-brandable course and aligned to the one tool that every Internet Marketer needs.

This package has been at least three years in the making and I have sacrificed a certain amount of automation to ensure that the opportunity seeker gets a fully  branded package that makes his/her business their business.

The course contains a clear strategy for targeting a hot market of business opportunity seekers  and can be as labor intensive or as hands free as you wish (according to your budget and time commitments)

How much does it cost? Nothing -only membership at Traffic Wave and by promoting the course you will earn a residual income and fast start bonus’ that will start your business off in fine style.

Nothing happens overnight, but success comes to those who are well prepared.

Give it a go -it’s free and makes common sense

I have to admit that I did not realize what a legitimate exciting home business opportunity Traffic wave represented until I did a little digging recently.
The Internet marketing phenomenon has often been likened to the 1850′s California gold rush in as much as thousands of people are seeking their fortunes chasing that elusive gold nugget that will make their lives so much easier.  Like the 1850′s gold rush most of these people will never find what their looking for, but they will spend a fortune on tools and services that will make their job easier. 
In the 1850′s people bought hardware, like shovels, picks, rope and the like.  Now in the Internet gold rush they buy necessary tools of the trade like autoresponders, web hosting and other software that will enable them to do their job effectively.
Just like the 1850′s it is much easier to make a profit selling tools to treasure seekers then it is to seek treasure – of these the most basic fundamental tool to sell is a quality autoresponder.

An auto responder simply explained is a tool that answers your prospect’s legitimate requests for information automatically, enabling you to send a series of pre written emails explaining the features an benefits of the product that they have requested more information about.  The same autoresponder can allow you to broadcast a targeted message to the same opt in list when and as you need it.

It is a proven fact that on average, website visitors may not purchase a product until they have visited a site five to seven times – the most effective way to get repeat visitors to your site is via an autoresponder.

There are a number of high quality autoresponders on the market – a short review of these is published here and to be honest I have though that there was not that much difference between any of those autoresponders on the key determinant of deliverability of messages.

In fact, if you had of asked me for a recommendation, I would have send that AWeber or Get response are the two pre eminent auto response services and to use one of those.

I was a little surprised then to see the following statistics specifically in relation to deliverability supplied to me by Traffic Wave in a recent email and I quote

“In fact, our Sender Reputation (as verified by SenderScore.org) is among the highest in the industry. The following chart shows a comparison of the available data from SenderScore.org for some of the top AutoResponder companies. Scores range from 0-100 with 0 being the worst and 100 being the best. Volume is an indication of how much mail volume is being processed as compared to other providers. “

Traffic Wave certainly stands up as a viable high quality autoresponder and it should because it has stringent rules in place for email senders.

So OK lets’ say it’s on a par with my up until now preferred autoresponder service – aWeber why would I want to change.

I have been a membetr of Traffic Wave for some time and have not heavily promoted it, in fact if I’m honest I really don’t promote it at all.  

I logged in yesterday to check out their affiliate program and was stunned to find that my affiliate matrix was filling.  I am aware of one person that I have referred directly, but now find that my I have three paying people in my downline.  I’m quite stunned by this, as I haven’t done anything to earn it.

So I dug a little deeper and found that as an Internet Marketer, Traffic Wave offers me an amazing affiliate program that theoretically runs ten levels deep.  Now I’m not going to get all starry eyed and say you can earn thousands of dollars per month with this tool, but I will say that it is possible to earn a couple of hundred dollars very easily by building your list using and recommending Traffic Wave

And of course if you ‘re building a list of Internet Marketers you can quite reasonably expect to make further sales with legitimate recommendations of quality products and services.

Traffic Wave Bonus

DIGNITY & RESPECT

“You don’t hear those words in Internet Marketing anywhere near often enough and it’s a crying shame.”  Mark Hodgetts profitsentinel

People are infinitely more likely to want to do business with you if they like and trust you.

That’s why you must view their email address as a treasured possession and not abuse it or the owner’s intelligence.
Perhaps the most critical element in your long term online success is to build an an email list of prospective repeat clients – your success with those clients depends upon how you treat them.

Email marketing is a wonderful way to do business if the recipient bothers to open the message. otherwise it is a complete waste of time. I personally receive over 200 emails per week from people who have obtained my email address legally. I believe that I would automatically delete 180 of them. The other 20 come from people who have either established a workable business relationship with me or are going about doing so in the right way.

What separates the 20 from the rest?

Honesty

Sincerity

The provision of quality information

Responsiveness

These people treat me with dignity and respect. They are doing email marketing the right way.

Here are my rules for treating your email list with dignity and respect.

Your initial welcome message(s) should focus on building  trust and should informs the recipient that you will be sending them regular  emails containing bonus downloads, product reviews and helpful hints

You must inform them that you will be sending out fortnightly/weekly/monthly messages designed to help them with their on -line marketing activities

You ask them to place you on their “white email list”

You only recommend quality products and services

You respond to any queries promptly and honestly – never bluff. People can tell pretty quickly that you’re doing that and then your credibility is shot to bits. If you don’t know – say so – but find someone who knows.

Keep people in the loop. “Thanks for your question Bob. I’m not exactly sure about the answer, so I’ve emailed my colleague/friend/upline/mentor to confirm several things. I expect an answer within 48 hours” is much better than leaving people hanging for 2 days while you wait for a reply.

If you’re able to, offer free downloads, courses and advice to keep your readership interested

Try and be original with your text, write as if you were talking to somebody in the room with you – let your personality shine through – adapt pre written emails to suit your profile

If you follow these rules you mark yourself as a leader, somebody who can be trusted and respected. If you take nothing else away from this site – FOLLOW THESE RULES they are your long term key to success
