			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I received a quarter for every time someone told me that it&#8217;s absolutely impossible to convert 30% of the subscribers  on your list, I&#8217;d have an extra million dollars sitting in  my bank account.</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m here to tell you that it can be done ONLY by using a systematic approach to converting your list.  How is this  done, and is it difficult you ask? If done correctly, it&#8217;s possible you may even convert  more than 30 percent.</p>

<p>Using the traditional permissions email marketing strategies that most internet marketers use simply isn&#8217;t good enough anymore.</p>
<p>People are getting pitched to for products that they&#8217;re not even interested in eventually they become desensitized to  the offer. Yes, SPAM has hurt the email marketing industry  but it hasn&#8217;t killed it&#8230;it&#8217;s simply forced some of us to  develop alternative strategies to be successful.</p>
<p>In order to be successful, you simply need to create highly targeted sublists and then pitch them an offer they cannot  refuse.  Now, at this point you may be thinking it&#8217;s very  difficult, however; it&#8217;s not, so let me show you exactly how  you should do it.</p>
<p>Example: Let&#8217;s assume that my ideal leads/market are stock market traders/investors.  He&#8217;re how I would set it up.</p>
<p>I would create a optin-page offering someone a unique and free ecourse or report which the website visitor needs to  subscribe to receive. Now, asking them for an email address  and first name IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH anymore, and this is where  most marketers get it wrong.  You need more information to  know exactly who they are and what they&#8217;re interested in.</p>
<p>In this example, I would ask for the first name, email address, Trading Experience (drop down selection list which  includes &#8220;beginner&#8221;, &#8220;intermediate&#8221; and &#8220;advanced&#8221; then,  what do you trade (drop down list &#8220;Stock&#8221;,  &#8220;Futures&#8221;,&#8221;Forex&#8221;) and Trading Style(drop down list &#8220;Swing&#8221;,  &#8220;Day&#8221;,&#8221;investor&#8221;). by having them provide this info to you  before subscribing you have now created a pre-qualified,  laser targetted subscriber database list.</p>
<p>You know exactly who they are and what they would be interested in and that&#8217;s invaluable information when you&#8217;re  trying to sell them a product.  If you&#8217;re trying to sell  them a Swing Trading product for beginners, let&#8217;s say for  example, you know exactly which subscribers on your list  would be interested in your offer. When you go to send an  email to that list, provided that you&#8217;re using a good auto responder system, you can query your list and find only  the people that fit that description and then send them an  email with your offer&#8230;.and since you&#8217;ve captured their  email address you can do this over and over and over again.</p>
<p>Your conversion will skyrocket!..particularly if you first cultivate a good relationship with that list by providing  good quality content/information which is very important, in  other words, don&#8217;t try to sell to them immediately, first  offer them quality information and PLEASE, when you  recommend a product, make sure you&#8217;ve tried it yourself  before recommending it. To me, anyone that recommends a  product they haven&#8217;t tried themselves is unethical, so don&#8217;t  do this. Be helpful and honest to your subscribers and  they&#8217;ll reward you for it.</p>
<p><div style="display:block;float:right;padding:5px;">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-6406669880150119";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "300x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "FDFBF8";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "333333";

</div></p>
<p>As I already mentioned, your conversion percentage will increase dramatically simply by prequalifying and  cultivating your subscriber before offering a product to  them, however; if you really want to absolutely skyrocket  your conversion you have to structure your product offer to  subscribers using a a very unique and systematic approach  which I&#8217;ve perfected over the last couple of years&#8230;</p>
<p>..and these are the same advanced conversion strategies I talk about in my in my coaching program over at  http:www.intelligentmarketer.com where I&#8217;ll show you how to  launch a product with the force of an atom bomb and make 30  times more sales than you normally would.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more online businesses and internet marketers are recognizing the tremendous benefits and responsiveness that  multimedia generates when used as an advertising medium and  marketing strategy.</p>
<p>For those that utilize multimedia effectively, significant increases in buy rates, conversion rates and subscription  rates have been experienced and all within a very short  period of time. However, many believe that just adding any  old media content, such as video and audio onto their  website will generate significant increases in visitor  responsiveness regardless of content presentation, quality,  and other attributes that contribute to a positive  experience for the website visitor. Just so that we are  clear, this assertion is very wrong and can have potentially  negative consequences from a marketing and/or advertising  standpoint.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p>My philosophy is quite simple. Using multimedia to advertise your product or service needs to follow the same basic rules  and principles as would apply to any other strategy or  medium that can be used to convert prospects into  subscribers and buyers. Yes, multimedia does improve  conversion rates but it has to be done right and convey  professionalism. This is absolutely essential.</p>
<p>When it comes to video and audio content online, what&#8217;s often been the case is that those who have tried to add this  type of media content to their websites have unfortunately  had disastrous results. For example, with video content,  many have added videos to their webpages that are of  extremely poor quality, small and ugly. The overall  experience for the viewer &#8211; Poor. One of the biggest  problems has been the fact that the videos load very slowly.  Visitors are turned off completely by the fact that they  have to wait for minutes, even longer sometimes in order for  the video or audio file to start playing. This,  unfortunately, is a result of these webmasters using cookie- cutter solutions to add video or audio content to their site  without really knowing the implications and limitations. As  I said, with multimedia&#8230;either do it right or don&#8217;t do it  at all. For those who do their research and take a little  time to produce video and audio content that is of good  quality, the results have been tremendous.</p>
<p>Bottom Line: If you want to capture the attention of your visitors,you need to use top notch technology to bring your  message to that person and provides the viewer with a  positive experience.</p>
<p>If you do plan on adding video and audio content to your website, here are a few simple guidelines to follow when  determining what the best multimedia solution is for you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cost Effective: You need a solution that doesn&#8217;t cost an arm and a leg and leaves you with great video and/or audio  content on your website but flat broke.</li>
<li>Fast loading Media Content (Video/Audio) that can play almost immediately. Website visitors are fickle and impatient so its not wise to keep them waiting when trying to view your video advertisement or listen to your audio  message.</li>
<li>Superior Website Integration: Video and Audio Content that can appear to be seamlessly Integrated into your  websites and emails. Viewers don&#8217;t have to view video and  audio ads with media player&#8217;s that annoyingly pop-up on top  of their internet browsers and distract them from the rest  of your website.</li>
<li>Superior Customization: Video and Audio Advertisements that can be customized for your websites and emails based on  your specific requirements.</li>
<li>The ability to handle a large volume of simultaneous visitors.</li>
<li>Large-Scale Playability: Viewing/Listening DOES NOT require the download of additional plug-ins. Don&#8217;t make your  visitors have to download any special software to view or  listen to the video and audio content on your website.</li>
<li>The media content needs to be of reasonably good quality and resolution. Don&#8217;t worry, you don&#8217;t need Lord of the  Rings quality to provide your website visitors with a  positive experience. They won&#8217;t expect perfect quality but  you need to make sure that the content is of good quality.</li>
</ol>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p>Of course, we can get into specific details about each one of these things but we won&#8217;t get into that in this article.  These are just high-level, general guidelines that you can  follow when shopping around for a good multimedia solution  for your business.</p>
<p>Multimedia does have impressive results from a marketing perspective. That&#8217;s why the big companies and brand names  are utilizing multimedia content to sell their products and  services. However, not everyone has the exact same budget  and requirements and if you are looking for a multimedia  solution you need to spend some time shopping around to find  a solution that offers the best bang for the buck.</p>
