Consider this:

You are making $1000/month from selling an eBook on your blog.

To make $3000/month, you could release two new eBooks.

But is that the best way to spend your time? Will that give you the best ROI? There is no doubt more products will mean more money, but in most people’s cases, you can make more money quicker, if you focus on what’s already making your money.

Improving our checkout page doubled our sales.

Adding a popup opt-in doubled the amount of people that signed up for our list. Our sales come from emails, so again, this doubled how much we were making.

When we significantly increased our page speed, our search engine traffic went up, people spent more time on our site and conversions went up too. All we had to do was spend 5 minutes hiring a page speed expert.

There are opportunities all around us. If you’re not satisfied with where you are right now, perhaps you should ask yourself, what isn’t working as well as it could.

Start here:

Our 9 Favorite Tips To Increase Sales and Conversions

#1. Increase Sales By Adding Upsells to Current Products

Most decent online marketers make as much money on the back end as they do on the front end.

By that I mean, if they sell a $97 product, when a customer goes through the checkout process, they spend at least another $97 on other products before they complete their purchase.

When I first heard about this, I thought it was an unbelievable statistic. Surely you can’t increase sales by 100% by doing something so simple.

We couldn’t ignore something that sounded so promising.

The first upsell we ever created was for PopUp Domination. Customers would buy our software, then during the checkout process, get offered purchasing options for multi-site licenses and additional popup designs. Incredibly, over night we were able to increase sales by 2x!

It makes perfect sense. The customer is already in buy-mode, they have already got their credit card out and ready to buy something. It’s impulse. They see something else they like that’s related and all they have to do is click one extra button.

Our good friend Yanik Silver had a rule of thumb I like to quote:

“60% of people should take your first upsell if it is priced at 60% of the front-end product price.”

That would be a good place to start for most people.

So for example; if your front end product sells at $49, an upsell priced at $27 should convert well.

The only problem we have ever had with creating upsells is the technical side of things. The first time we did it, we had to ask customers to re-enter their credit card details for every upsell they wanted to buy.

No doubt this had a negative effect on conversion. Although we were still able to achieve that industry standard of making just as much from our upsells as the front end offer.

We are not tech guys and even asking a programmer to set something up like this can be a pain because it’s just not something people have much experience with.

However things have moved along quite a lot since we first played with setting up upsells.

Our current checkout software SamCart, allows you to create upsells in seconds. All you have to do is insert the sales video code, set the price and it’s done.

Customers go from purchasing a product, to upsell page 1, upsell page 2 and finally the download page.

Here’s how we setup our upsells:

1. Click upsells on the left hand side of your SamCart dashboard and then select funnels from the drop down menu.
2. Click “new funnel”, add your funnel name and a short description, then click “create funnel”.
3. Select how many upsell offers you’d like to add from your product list and then select “enabled.” You’ll have the option to add up to 5 upsells and 5 downsells.

#2. Double Sales By Improving Your Checkout Page

The checkout page is a huge part of the sales funnel process, and is often forgotten or brushed off.

I remember 6 years ago reading a forum thread about the beta stage of Clickbank checkout page design. They allowed premier users (top earners) to customize the design of their checkout page from the default 1 style design. Users saw as much as 3x higher conversions by simply matching the header and background color to the one used on their sales page.

Checkout pages should have the following characteristics:

• Sales copy reminding customers of exactly what they’re getting.
• Branding that matches your main site.
  
• Product image.
• Clear instructions.
• Satisfaction Guarantee.

Another top tip to increase sales is to remove any checkout fields that are not 100% required. The easier it is to sign up and pay, the higher your conversions will be.

Our checkout pages are hosted and setup with SamCart, which makes the process incredibly easy.

#3. Add a PopUp Opt-in Box

If you make money from email marketing, then I would be surprised if you didn’t at least see a significant increase in sales by adding a PopUp to your websites.

Within the first 24 hours of promoting our free giveaway on our site using a popup, our subscriber rate increased by 524%

After seeing just how powerful it was at increasing sales and conversions, we developed it into the first WordPress plugin of it’s kind. When we released it, a lot of the top bloggers and gurus did not like it and even spoke publicly about not liking the plugin. In 2017, all of them have popups on their sites.

Here are 10 different ways we use PopUps on IncomeDiary.

#4. Launch an Affiliate Program

Having an affiliate program has allowed us to do $x,xxx,xxx in sales with zero advertising budget.

Affiliate programs give you the ability to track and pay people on commission for selling your products. Take PopUp Domination as an example. We let customers promote our sales page with a special tracking link. If they convince someone to click the link and they end up buying from us, we give that person a cut of the money for bringing us the business. This is all handled effortlessly by our merchant.

This is a great, low risk way to drive traffic to your sales pages. You only have to pay for the traffic that converts.

Affiliate programs are among the best ways to incorporate passive income streams into your business. Once your sales page is setup and you have affiliates promoting your products, you don’t have to do anything to drive traffic and make sales.

#5. Setup Autoresponders

One of the best ways to increase sales (and passive income), is to have an autoresponder.

An autoresponder automatically sends emails to subscribers that you have setup before hand. We use them for all of our mailing lists. When you subscribe to our list, you will automatically receive an email from us. Then again the next day and again two days later and so on, until all 30 emails have been sent. This means you can write a sales email today, then in the weeks to come when someone subscribes, they’ll get that email automatically, read it and hopefully buy whatever you are selling.

As far as we are concerned, the more autoresponder emails the better. We regularly look back over past emails we’ve sent to our lists, copy our most successful ones and add them to our autoresponder.

Autoresponders have been one of the most powerful passive income streams we have ever used. Everyone should have a mailing list and everyone should be sending emails. It doesn’t matter if you are a blogger, software owner, if you sell eBooks or want more clients.

To get started, we recommend and use Aweber for our email marketing! They currently have a $1 trial.

#6. Increase Sales By Increasing Page Speed

Speeding up your website is a guaranteed way to get more traffic and increase sales.

Google openly states that page speed is part of their search algorithm. Which makes sense because they want to connect their users with the best match. The best match is not a slow loading website that infuriates you.

We do a combination of things to increase our page speed. You can read more about it here.

The most important being:

1. Perfect code. Be careful which WordPress theme you are using.

2. Minimize page load by not having things slow the site down. One thing a lot of people do is have far to many WordPress plugins.

3. Pick the right host.

4. Use caching software. We use MaxCDN to significantly speed up our site & decrease server load. MaxCDN duplicates your website content across several servers globally, which presents your visitors with website content from whichever server is closest to their location. This increased proximity decreases page load time.

#7. Make Your Site Mobile Responsive

One in every three minutes spent online, is via a mobile device. If your website isn’t responsive, you’re losing money. Our websites are made with Genesis framework and all of our sales pages are created with OptimizePress. Both platforms are 100% mobile responsive!

Check out 15 best practices for responsible responsive web design.

#8. Increase Sales Page Conversions With Split Testing

Split testing is crucial for making money online and is something all successful marketers do on a regular basis. Most have tests continually running.

A split test is when you split your web traffic between multiple pages to see which one converts higher. For example, think of any sales page, now duplicate it, so you have two exact same versions of this page. Change one of the pages so that the buy button is a different colour. Now send 50% of your traffic to each of these two pages. After 100 sales, see which one made the most money.

There is a lot you can test. And you would be surprised how much small things can add up. Here is a list of things to start testing:

• Headlines text, colour, font, size
• Background colours
• Images
• Videos
• Videos Vs Images
• Video Vs Text
• Short Vs Long
• Price
• Scarcity
• What you are offering
• Name of your product
• Testimonials
• Guarantee

I could go on for quite some time… you can test EVERYTHING!

Both SamCart and OptimizePress allow us to split test our checkout pages as well as sales pages to ensure the highest possible conversions regardless of the product.

#9. Don’t Keep All Your Eggs In One Basket.

There are quite a few reasons why this saying is true for online business.

Firstly, if you only have one income stream, then you are screwed if for whatever reason it disappears. And don’t think that’s impossible because it’s happened thousands of times, to people far smarter then you or I. Let me give you an example:

Say you are a blogger and have 5 different income streams for your blog. You are making a lot of money. You should feel safe right?

NOPE.

Not if all your traffic comes from one source. Often I’ve heard horror stories of top bloggers being slapped by Google and losing all their traffic, therefor losing all their income.

You can’t set and forget about a business if it has a foundation like this. Diversify and make sure you have multiple traffic sources such as Search Engines, Social Media, Podcasting, Email Marketing and so on.

Ok, let’s put traffic aside and focus on blog monetization techniques.

Say your site is getting great traffic and it’s all good, but you only make money from Google Adsense.

Well Google can come along and ban you for 1 of a million terms violations. Again you are screwed.

Ok, it’s 2017, not many people do that. How about you sell an eBook online and all your income comes from that. You are doing great, in fact this month is your best month ever, you made $30,000!

Perfect, no troubles, right?

WRONG!

Your merchant shuts you down or puts you on hold because it’s worried you may be doing something fraudulent. Countless times I’ve heard online marketers moan about how their PayPal accounts have been put on hold for months and they can’t withdraw money. Why? Because PayPal would rather be safe than sorry. Although in most cases, PayPal eventually took these people off hold, how would you deal with not being able to access your money for months on end?

Another reason not to keep all your eggs in one basket is it just isn’t a smart business decision.

Take IncomeDiary for example. Say you are coming to the site today and the only adverts we have up are for our PopUp Domination software. If you already have a copy of it, then you can’t buy anything. These adverts are irrelevant. People love choice and you need to be able to show them multiple things they can buy to have the best chance of making a sale.

Like life, variety is key to business.

You must diversify.

There is so much you can do.

So many opportunities you are not taking advantage of yet.

I hope today’s post has shown you that.

There you have it, our 9 top ways to improve your website, to increase sales and conversions. Enjoy.

I’m really excited to share this with you guys, it’s my very first WordPress Plugin which has done wonders for 100’s of people already and it can do the same for you. I have heard from users that they have had increases in conversions from anywhere between 150% and 1100%! It’s called Popup Domination and in today’s post, I will be showing you around the Plugin and you will be able to see for yourself just how easy it is and the results you can get.

Most of you will know that email marketing is a big part of my income, without it I wouldn’t be where I am today. This is how it works: You get people to opt-in > Promote Something On ThankYou Page > Sell Affiliate Products in Autoresponder > Email List at Any Time Promotions and Updates! I personally believe that anyone who has a mailing list should be giving something away to entice people into signing up, in my case I created a 7 day free eCourse to creating your first profitable blog. I then set up an autoresponder in Aweber so that every day for 7 days they get lessons, then after that I switch to weekly and in between weeks I send out promotions.

Having a mailing list can be quite simply and it really is the biggest game changer you can have for your business, ask any guru or big internet entrepreneur and they will say the power is in the list and this is because they can keep sending back visitors time after time to their sites promoting new offers and content. Take a look at this post for example, over 75% of the people who will read this article will of read it because they are on my list. Now it’s time to not just create a list, but to super charge it so that you can play catch up and get a lot of subscribers from DAY 1!

How To Grow Your Email List Fast!

Building Your Mailing List and Making Money From It

In case after that you are still not convinced, check this screenshot out, literally 2 months ago I had more traffic and was only getting around 15 opt-ins a day, now I’m in the 100’s!

If you are a regular reader of IncomeSup, you would know that we spend a lot of time working on our email marketing. Why? Because, it brings us so much traffic and makes us a lot of money.

When we first started trying to build our mailing list, we would get only a few opt-ins a day. Over time, it went up to around 25 new subscribers a day.

One day, we heard about how one of the biggest sites in our industry were using a popup and that it was by far the best technique they use to get subscribers.

So, we decided to add a popup to our site.

We started by looking for a WordPress plugin to do this for us, but quickly we found that there was no such plugin that would do what we wanted.

So we designed our own popup and got our developer to code it for us. That first day, we got over 100 new subscribers. Our conversion rate went up by over 500%!

So we went back to our developer and asked him to make it into a WordPress plugin that everyone could use. We called it PopUp Domination.

The week we launched, we sold over 500 copies.

That was back in 2010.

In 2016, after 6 years of being in business, we finally finished working on version 4, which is a web app.

Below, I share 20 of my favourite features:

20 Reasons Why PopUp Domination Is The Best In Industry

Email Themes

Collect email subscribers by using one of their many email popup designs. With dozens of different themes and every colour available, you can find a theme not only to convert well, but to perfectly match your current site design.

Redirect Themes

You can use these themes to redirect users to different pages on your site, or perhaps even an affiliate page. Consider this, you are reading this post and then as you go to leave, a popup appears, promoting this tool. From experience, this converts well!

Countdown Themes

Create a scarcity by showing countdowns. When a visitor knows they only have a set amount of time to decide, conversions go up.

Exit PopUps

Show the popup when visitors are going to leave your website. This works well because it gives you one more chance to convert them.

On Click PopUps

Show a popup when somebody clicks on an object, text, image or another website area. Great if you want to offer a free eBook or a coupon code in a blog post, in exchange for their email address.

PopUp Triggers

Trigger popups based on total time spent on the website, object mouse over, page scroll, on idle, page views or use query strings to target specific audiences.

A/B Testing

Split test your popups against each other, find the best converting popup for your page and boost your subscriber list.

Analytics

It’s important to see how well your popups are converting, so that you can see how you can improve. Stats include, highest converting pages, conversion rate, impressions and much more.

Super Fast

PopUp Domination host everything so your website won’t be slowed down and you can integrate it easily. This is one of the main reasons it’s not a WordPress plugin, because the service provided can be a lot better.

Responsive Themes

All designs are fully responsive, which means they will change in size depending on the device they are viewed on. You can display your popups on all devices or target, for example, only smartphone users.

Customizable Designs

You can change the colour and size of all our themes. You can even use custom HTML, CSS and JS!

Blank Theme HTML/CSS/JS

Good new for developers and designers, you can build custom designs and insert scripts.

Geographical Targeting

Show popups only to the countries you want to target. Make sure your popups appears only for the visitors you want to see it.

In case after that, you are still not convinced you should try yourself using the 14 DAY FREE TRIAL. Literally 2 months ago I had more traffic and was only getting around 15 opt-ins a day, now I’m in the 1000’s!

Popup Domination Results!

Just looking at forums, reviews, Twitter, Facebook and personal emails from buyers excites me so much because the results are incredible, this really will make a big difference to everyone who buys it, they will see a big difference in their bottom line. Make sure to visit Popup Domination and buy it today!

The post Popup Domination – How One Simple App Quadrupled My Email List appeared first on How To Make Money Online.

This list contains the obvious ones – but I hope it also contains some things that some people will have forgotten. I was speaking with a friend (who is quite successful) the other day and I was surprised at some of the things they had not considered – in particular Disaster Planning.

I mean he had virtually no back ups (back-ups of websites, back-ups of PC, back-ups of Email Contacts etc). In addition they had never considered having a fireproof safe or an off-site location for back-ups.

Now I know not all of us need these things – but it is too easy when you don’t work in the so called ‘normal’ office environment to miss out on some essential Admin tasks.

Another note — Home Office Insurance – How many of us have it?

Question 1 – What have I missed of this list?

Question 2 – What one item (apart for a computer) could you not do with out?

#2 Business Cards
	Business cards are one of those vital things all entrepreneurs and business people should carry at all times.

	Over the last few years I have had dozens of mouse’s, all pretty much rubbish! Last year I decided to go for a wireless one because the cable always was getting in the way or wasn’t long enough for where I was work. Since using a Logitech Laser mouse I have been so much more productive, it may be such a small thing but it really does make a difference. More Information

#5 GoPro HERO4

Having a mobile with email access is vital people! More Information

#9 Alarm Clock and Phone Charger

The post 20 Things Every Internet Entrepreneur Should Own appeared first on How To Make Money Online.

I live in the UK and while it is far from perfect it is a good place to start a business – registering a new business is pretty straight forward and easy.

That said, many of us like to dream of one day living in a much more Entrepreneur friendly country — not just for business reasons but also for lifestyle reasons (Better weather appears to be one of the top reasons) So for this post I had my VA do some research on Cool Places For Entrepreneurs To Live — I have to say, I was surprised by some of her suggestions. (For Example, the Falklands Islands is a bit too cold for me — but I’m sure the scenery is great)

Let me have you thoughts on the views and suggestions, in particular:

1) Is there a particular country you would like to move to? (if it is not listed, please suggest it)
and
2) What would be your reasons for moving there? Lifestyle? Friendlier Taxation rules for entrepreneurs? Better Climate?
or
3) Are you really happy where you currently live?

On a side note: One question I get asked over and over is for my thoughts on Business Structure? Should you set up a company or trade as an individual for example? Also do I have any views or suggestions on setting up businesses ‘offshore”?

I am quite clear on this — I do not and will not give any advice on Legal or Accounting Matters. For a start I have no professional qualification and therefore I am not qualified and secondly the rules and regulations vary so much from country to country that frankly I would be getting into a minefield if I ever attempted to do this.

Therefore – please contact a relevant Professional in your country and seek advice from them.

Finally — please note, the list below is not exhaustive – clearly you should do your own Due Diligence before moving to another country — not matter how good the weather or taxation rules are

Hello Everyone,

The credit crunch / so-called recession will made some people very rich (look at the history of past recessions to see that) but like it or not it is the case that some established entrepreneurs have lost billions in last year! The list below is of the biggest loss’s in the last year! The main reason for the huge drops in net worth are because their net worth is estimated by the amount of shares they have in their company so when Google’s share price drops, Larry and Sergey’s net worth drops with it. It is also notable that Roman Abramovich lost $2.5 Billion in 2007 when he split with wife, Irina.

Although these huge companys have taken a huge hit in share price, it doesn’t mean that everything is all bad. Google still earns $691.27 a second and is set to have its best year yet! If you want a piece of the pie then you can create you own website by signing up for my 7 day FREE eCourse and checking out my blogging resources.

There is two sides to every equation, its up to you whether or not you make it! Have the end in mind and make sure every day you are working towards it! The other interesting point about these 30 entrepreneurs is that they all remain Billionaires
