The only way you can control your own destiny as a marketer is by having a list. I'm 100% behind producing a holistic traffic technique that leverages all the distinct channels we have available to us as digital marketing professionals.  However paid advertisements will commonly be the quickest way to make a sale.

In below an hour I can design my adverts, write copy, build and launch an ad campaign for as little as £10/day. Inside a number of hours my ads will be live and pushing targeted traffic to my internet site. No other digital marketing channel is that easy with such a modest barrier to entry. If you are just getting going with paid ads make sure that you are assessing everything from your creative copy to your landing pages to your targeting.

I've never worked in a niche or vertical that I cannot make paid adverts financially rewarding in after many fine-tuning and testing.

If I had to get an extra sale today I would definitely use my email list and send an email out. It's the easiest approach to make income instantly. Even better, I would method a lot of past advertisers and offer to send out a promotional email to my list if I was genuinely in need of money. But on the whole I like writing affiliate articles, while providing sizeable value and making extra income all through the year.

For me, I would contact an existing client and suggest that I do or resolve something on their site.

I'd give them an hourly estimate and they'd give me the go-ahead. I've been fortunate to never have a marketing challenge for that side of my business. For seven years I have had as much work as I can deal with. The challenge is finding the finest prospects and working on activities that I'm passionate about.

One of the principles that taught me was that should you can't sell something to someone on the street, you cannot sell to them online. The process starts with interviewing past customers to figure out why they paid for, what positive aspects sold the product, and what it would take for them to purchase once again. Then they use that data as the basis for each conversion choice that they make. When we are online we have a tendency to lose sight of the truth that a sale is still a person-to-individual transaction.

Well you can mostly email your list, nevertheless which will inevitably burn them if all you're doing is selling.

If I wanted to sustain my list, while making sales, I'd turn to Facebook Ads. I have a pretty well converting sequence set up, so I'd attempt to spend a couple hundred dollars on ads throughout the day, and make it back plus a little additional within the first 24 hours. I usually see my money back pretty speedily, then the profit comes from the people I sell to later on in the sequence.

If I necessary to get an additional sales and provided my list has already been emailed, I'd write an article with a plug to whatever it is I'm selling. After publishing the post containing links to the product I want to sell, I'd set up Google alerts. They will notify me when anybody enters a keyphrase relating to my feature subject. Then I'll leave a comment answering whatever question the user had, while subtly inserting a link to the feature in my signature. You can also immediately jump on Google search open questions relating to the situation you are remedying. After each question you genuinely answer, leave the link to your money site inside your resource box. In the past, this has speedily driven many sales as well as hundreds of extra visitors to my sites.
