There is a squeeze page. The idea is for you to enter
the email address you actually READ! I'll send out a version
later where you can bypass the squeeze if it bugs you.

C. Main Article

Billy Jean Ain't Seen No Marketing Machine Like This
Subtitle: 15 Steps To Make Your Marketing Machine Rock and Roll
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm going to date this article. But whether you liked,
hated or were indifferent about Michael Jackson as a
person, you just about had to love his song Billy Jean.

Just like I'm the King of Step-By-Step Internet Marketing,
he really was the King of Pop.

The reason I used that title is what I have to write about
today is very important. So I wanted to make certain I got
your attention.

See, just as Michael Jackson built his marketing and sales
machine on the back of that song, even so you can build
your marketing and sales machine on the back of 15
sub-systems.

A system is a sequential series of steps that results in
an outcome. You can think of it like an assembly line
machine and at the end is a product that is sold
successfully.

Just like Michael's Billy Jean CD's that set all kinds of
sales records. So without further ado, here are the steps
in your marketing machine.

If you're NEW to this Game of selling online, then keep
reading my ezines and you'll learn more about all these
steps. They aren't as many as it seems.

You can actually assemble one of these complete machines
in under a week — or even faster — once you get all your
systems in place.

At first, you just want to make sure you have all 15
elements in place. Then you want to start spending time
every day working on 1 of the 15 elements, testing and
tracking.

You do NOT need your own product to use these 15 steps and
I'll explain why later on.

I want to ask you one thing:

Before I give you these steps, will you COMMIT to working
a little bit each day to ONE of them?

If you will, then say out loud: “I commit to working on
one of these 15 steps daily.” If you say that out loud,
it'll register in your brain. Now, write it down.

As PROOF of how potent my strategies are, yesterday I had
a chat with my long term friend Simon from
Getresponse.com.

Here's a snippet from the Skype:

i owe a lot to u

Simon 7/10/09 8:41 PM

that's the truth marlon 7/10/09 8:42 PM

thanks Simon 7/10/09 8:42 PM

i'll never forget that

END CHAT

Like I said, what I teach works. I first met Simon back
when he was 19. He's 27 now. You think this stuff works?

OK, let's go….

1. Traffic sources

Eyeballs on your website are your lifeblood. So you gotta
get traffic. Last week I did the most incredible interview
with Sean Mize who built a whole traffic machine ONLY
around writing articles and submitting them to ONE
directory.

So that's a traffic source. I spent time explaining to him
how to add on affiliate programs as another traffic
source. Because you always want to turn every customer
into an affiliate.

It's a no brainer. Anyway, Sean originally tested and
tried many traffic sources, and that's how he ended up
with article marketing as his #1. If you have almost NO
money to spend, this is for you.

If you snag my Cash Like Clockwork System today, I'm
throwing in the very in-depth interview with Sean. He
almost regrets sharing so MUCH. It's his whole machine
broken down.

Anyway, you gotta test different traffic sources and start
with ONE that works for you. And the you work it up, down,
sideways and every which way but loose.

This is what I do with my traffic source which is
affiliate programs and you can see my handiwork at
http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=getyourprofits.

I've been teaching and preaching affiliate programs for traffic
since 2001 in “Gimme My Money Now.”

The other day at the bookstore I ran into one of my
customers. He told me the reason I was about the only
person he followed was because of the consistency of what
I teach.

2. Freebie offered

What is the BAIT you offer to get someone to bite your
hook which is your subscriber form on your squeeze page?
I'll talk about squeeze pages in just a second.

But you need a freebie. I taught this back in 1999 in
Amazing Formula. And it's Evergreen. Still works.

You can see one of mine at:
http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=designdashtop10

Try different freebies, titles and offers until ONE works!

Here is the freebie Sean Mize has:
http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=7_7_09mize

By the way, Sean told me the other day that Amazing
Formula was the one product that had a huge influence on
his career early on.

3. Tools that offer freebie

Try banner ads, ezine solo mailings, thank you page
graphics you give to affiliates and so forth. Test and
track until you find a few that work for you.

To get people ON your email list, you have to give them a
big carrot to subscribe. This is your freebie.

There's ONE tool that hands down is better than any others
and in another ezine or an Ateam call, I'll go into it.
It's a whole ezine issue or two in and of itself.

4. Squeeze page

See my page at:
http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=designdashtop10

Here is Sean Mize's squeeze page that converts 40% of
visitors into subscribers from article traffic:

http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=7_7_09mize

You need to split test different squeeze pages. Split
testing means that you test one version vs. another. The
program to use for this is:

http://www.google.com/websiteoptimizer

It makes setting up a split test a piece of cake.

5. Tracking links for clicks, subscribers and sales

You will notice my above link that uses the
turboprofits.com domain. That is a special tracking link.
Automateyourwebsite.com has tracking links built in.

Whatever program you use, you need a way to track your
clicks, subscribe rate and sales. Theoretically, you can
do it with Google Analytics but I've never had great
success using it for tracking.

My friend Simon has a program I've used a lot called
Hypertracker.

6. Thank you page

So people go to your squeeze page. They type in their name
and email. What is the NEXT page they go to and what's on
it?

You need to split test this a lot. What you put on this
page is EXTREMELY important.

7. Confirmation email

The email that you send out asking people to click the
link to CONFIRM that they want to receive email from you
is also extremely important.

Most autoresponder programs let you try different wording
and create CUSTOM confirmation emails. This is what you
want. Customize the wording.

8. Post confirmation page

After they click that link, what page do they go to? Since
everyone who subscribes to your lists will go to this
page, it's a very, very important page.

This is a “money” page.

You want to test different price points here.

9. Welcome email

What email do you send them AFTER they subscribe? Again,
this email is very critical. You need to try different
ones.

I could write a whole ezine issue or do a whole session
just on that welcome email. You set the tone for the whole
subscriber relationship in this email.

10. Email 2

After someone JUST joins your list, what is the second
email they get after your welcome email? You need to try
different emails and see what gets the biggest bang for
you.

11. Sales pages

When you send out emails, you'll send people to posts on
your blog and to sales letters. Whether you use videos,
audio or sales letters, you need to try different things
and track the results.

One of the critical methods I use here is the “Johnson
box” strategy. I talk in other ezines about the use of the
Johnson box.

I think that your countdown deadline script is vital. I'm
right now testing a number of scripts and I'll probably
talk about which one won in a future ezine issue.

You will hardly see any marketers using Johnson boxes. The
reason I use them is because of my “old school” past in
direct mail. All the Johnny come lately's don't have the
benefit of old school experience.

12. Order page

When people click to order, what's on that page? For
example, does your page have a video guarantee? Mine
doesn't — yet. But I will be testing it and I expect it
to work.

13. Upsell 1

After they order product one, you offer something
additional. This is called an upsell. “Do you want fries
with that order?” That's what an upsell is.

Do you start at a high or low price point? Do you pitch
something like a membership site that is continuity or
recurring billing? Do you use a sales letter, video or
audio?

Test starting with your most expensive item first vs.
starting with continuity (something that is a recurring
billing item like a membership site).

Perry Belcher uses a “bucket” upsell which is a bundle
of stuff. That's as good as any if you're stuck for something.

14. Upsell 2

You normally have a second upsell AFTER the first one.

15. Downsell

If they don't buy upsell 1 and 2, you downsell to
something cheaper.

I've laid out all 15 steps. Will you do a small favor for
me now? Will you tell 2 people about this ezine issue?
Just 2.

I'm posting it on my blog at:
http://www.TurboProfits.com/tracking/go.php?c=marlonsnews

Also, I'm thinking about doing a webinar where we walk
through all these 15 steps. I can't think of anything more
critical in your business than these steps.

Now, if you don't have your own products, you don't
control the order page or the upsells. But you CAN load up
a few upsells in your autoresponder and send them out in
the days following the order.

That's it for the 15 steps. Hit me back on my blog.

And if I decide to do this webinar, I hope you'll join me.

See, no one else does SYSTEMS thinking about marketing
like this. Not really. You have people who say they do.
But they teach really general, generic systems. Which are
all well and good.

But you have to chunk down into sub systems and sub
systems of sub systems. My Systems approach to marketing
is very powerful.

No one really does it. It's all about the gimmick of the
day.

This is why I'm dubbed as the King of Step-By-Step
marketing. Because in my Dashboards and products, and even
in my ezine here, I chunk down into sub systems.

I've talked before about the autopilot bank deposit system.
See, once you get people INTO your email funnel, the money
comes in like clockwork because you load up the emails in
your autoresponder.

This is like “old school” marketing 101 and in all the
excitement about web 2.0 people have forgotten you still
gotta monetize.

It STILL is a “list game.”

Know the Game you're playing and the rules. Otherwise,
how will you win?

Oh, while you're at it have an advantage in the Game.
Your advantage is Systems Thinking — and I'm the only
one teaching it in our arena in a sub-systems, chunked
down way.

Man, some people claim they got systems but wouldn't
recognize one if it ran over them in a big truck.
