Websites Generate Cash Flow

Balanced Businesses Use The Internet

A balanced business takes advantage of every opportunity available to create cash flow. Your network marketing website can be a cash generator. If your company has affiliate websites and you do not have one, you are missing a big cash-generating opportunity. The internet can create huge cash flow when you market it. As a networking entrepreneur you should be maintaining a balanced business, and internet sales can provide an additional stream of income into your home business.

Now is the Internet Shopping Season

November and December are the biggest shopping months of the year and the internet is included in that spending. The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday and the following Monday is referred to as Cyber Monday for the same reason. People go into a spending frenzy at the physical stores on Black Friday and at the cyber stores on Cyber Monday. The majority of internet shopping is usually done “on the job”, hence Cyber Monday.

Marketing vs Advertising

Advertising is making announcements and hoping people will come. Examples of advertising are billboards or display ads. Marketing is creating more and more desire for your product, services or opportunity and attracting those people to you and your website. Be sure to test all web links to make certain that they work.

You can advertise your website through various mediums:

• Put your web address on your self-inking stamp and stamp all your materials, including catalogs, outgoing mail and every note that leaves your office
• Put it on your business card
• Announce it at your shows
• Put it in your email signature
• Announce it in your monthly newsletter
• Etc.

Marketing is giving people reasons to come to your site:

• Free expert advice
• Free gifts
• Interesting or valuable information
• Easy hassle-free purchasing
• Fun
• Great value in general

Online Purchasers Always Buy Again

You can advertise your business and get customers to the site but if the value is not there, they will not buy or return. Effective website promotion uses advertising and marketing to get the client there the first time and the marketing program keeps them coming back. When someone makes a purchase on your web site once, they will always purchase again.

Tips to Keep Customers Coming Back

• Keep the website current and updated: Include your picture and change the picture monthly to be seasonally appropriate; change the site monthly so that it has a new look for returning customers.

• Keep the value up: Write informative articles; give free advice, recipes or tips appropriate for your business.

• Use every resource available: Fill the calendar; use the news section; enter all shows onto the site if the resource is there; use the web e-vites, etc.

• Fill every section of the web site with value: I have visited many affiliate web sites and frequently find them to be almost an empty shell. The reps do not take the time to fill in all the pages available to them. Make the site full and interesting.

Market to Those Holiday Shoppers

Now is the time to think about your marketing program for the upcoming holiday season. Hopefully, you have been doing your advertising year-round. With an effective strategy you could expect to make some gravy cash over the last couple months of the year.

Some suggestions to attract Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping to your web site:
• Write an email blast for your data base to send out the week before Thanksgiving reminding them of holiday shopping
• Plan a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale
• Announce your sale or internet shopping in advance
• Blast them again on Thanksgiving eve
• Blast them again the morning of the sale
• Do a reminder the first of December: “Avoid the crowds; shop from your home or office.”
• December 15th another blast and reminder
• December 20th reminder for last minute gifts (assuming your company has 2-day or overnight shipping)

Balanced Businesses Use All Resources

With the approaching holiday shopping season and the proper marketing approach, you can expect to generate some easy cash on your website with product purchases. It is hard to have your affiliate site rank high in the search engines because it is a sub-site of the home office site, yet with proper contact to your client base throughout the year and a little special attention over the next few weeks, you can create some extra cash for your family over the holidays. A balanced business utilizes all available resources to create income into the business. Internet sales are available year-round and can be huge in the last two months of the year, providing you with an additional stream of income and a balanced business. Take time to plan your marketing blitz to generate internet sales.
