Internet Entrepreneurs Master The Self-Funded Proposal – The Home Business of the 21st Century: Part 6
Successful Internet marketers master the strategy of a self-funded proposal, which is a system that funds their marketing efforts. Check out this diagram to fully understand what a self-funded proposal functions.
Successful Internet Entrepreneurs succeed because of many things, but none are more important to their business’s success than a concept called the “Self-Funded Proposal.” The self funded proposal is a strategy which has your prospects pay for your marketing in one way or another, regardless of whether or not they bought from your primary business. It’s a marketing strategy that is focused on offsetting the cost of marketing, which really allows you to leverage the Power of the Internet.
Below is a flowchart to give you a visual (visuals always help me understand things more clearly) of how to drive traffic to your “Nerve Center” (your blog, websites and landing pages) through Internet Marketing techniques. You are sending traffic to your website with the intent that your sales page or website will convert traffic into leads and/or sales. Driving traffic is only half of the battle. Converting that traffic into sales is a whole other ballgame.
So you may be asking from what products or items do you fund your marketing campaign. These are called “self liquidating offers” (SLO) which you sell on the front end. When you give tons of value away for a very small price or even for free, people recognize the amount of value you are giving away with these items and this builds trust in your list/customers. These people start to respect you and become loyal to you. They haven’t joined your primary business yet, but they are on your customer list and are now following you as someone they can trust and learn from.
The key behind offering front end products and services is that your site visitors and new customers are learning a great deal of value everyday from these products, helping them to become more qualified business partners with you and your business. Your prospecting pool is now full of leaders and business builders, and not whiners and tire kickers. This brings a greater momentum to your business as your prospects will join you and learn from you and take off as business people themselves.
Now if you want to build a serious home business for yourself, and find a simple self-funded proposal to create a multiple six-figure income (or more) and are tired of the hype and B.S. out there, then read on to find out how to Write Your Own Paycheck leveraging the power of the Internet.

One of the biggest challenges for the Internet home business owner today is figuring out how to integrate social media into their online portfolio. This can be a very daunting task, but it can pay huge dividends for your business. Social media is the best way to present yourself as an expert to your audience and niche. It handles one of the most important obstacle faced by Internet marketers today…the credibility gap. This simply means that your prospects need “proof” that you are who you say you are and social media is that proof.
But the real question now is “what exactly is social media and what are the best forms of social media that you need to be taking advantage of?”
First, social media lets you communicate with particular communities on the web. The Internet is one “huge” community that consists of tons of mini communities called niche markets and social media allows you to present yourself as a leader or expert in your niche market. And you are going to be able to penetrate these communities with things like blogging, video marketing, article marketing and even social networking. These are all very powerful sources for the home business entrepreneur or any business person for that matter to present themselves as a person of authority. Read More >>

Are you wondering why you aren’t making the sales you think you should even though you’re getting lots of leads every week? It probably has a lot to do with your email autoresponders. After all, they’re what’s doing the selling for you, right?

Google Beware: Bing Is On The Move
Bing is a player in the search game and is fighting and earning market share month over month. In fact, Bing is now the fastest growing search engine.
Back on June 3, 2009, Microsoft officially launched their new search brand, Bing. This was more than just a rebranding of the Microsoft search platform, but rather a repositioning to create a “decision engine.” The goal of Bing is to “provide customers with intelligent search tools to help them simplify tasks and make more informed decisions,” according to a Microsoft spokeperson.
That’s all well and good, but first we must understand that the odds were clearly stacked against Bing since it’s had to go up against the search giant, Google. This is obviously a pretty daunting task for Bing or any search engine for that matter, but they knew what they were getting themselves into and they were clearly up for the challenge. Read More >>
YouTube Statistics: Hold On To Your Pants
You see, we already know that everyone wants to hang out on YouTube, but the most important YouTube statistic to us as marketers is, “Does YouTube actually have an influence on peoples’ desire to take action and buy?” Let me wet your pallet with this YouTube statistic: 45% of all YouTube visitors are seeking information about products or services to purchase.
YouTube has been the talk of the town and it’s old news for me to tell you that there are millions of people taking advantage of the totally unique and unpredictable content that is produced by YouTubers every single day. There are plenty of people that use YouTube as a source of entertainment, comic relief, meditation, or just plain aimless browsing. I know when I’m having a bad day I can always find a funny video of a dog jumping on a trampoline or a baby farting. The global society as a whole has reached it’s arms out and completely embraced YouTube and all that it has to offer. The facts are in the pudding so get your spoon out.
I hopped over to Alexa.com where I searched and found the most up-to-date YouTube statistics. YouTube is the 4th most trafficked site on the entire web. Read More >>
