*Most* Online Entrepreneurs Are Failing!<br />

... Simply Because They Don’t Do THIS:<br />

People always ask me, "Which ads make the most money’" And "What<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> webpage presentations work best’" "Which press releases<br />

generate the most traffic’" "How do I go about making the best<br />

banner, the best link title’"<br />

I always answer, "The ones written backwards." They always<br />

scream at me.<br />

"What the hell does that mean!?!"<br />

I try to calm them down and explain:<br />

First, you need to find a large group <strong>of</strong> people that you know<br />

you can get your webpage, ad, banner, link, press release,<br />

whatever in front <strong>of</strong> ... repeatedly ... for very low cost.<br />

They’re all over the place; just pick one.<br />

(Tip: Pick an audience that --out <strong>of</strong> interest-- you are already<br />

a part <strong>of</strong>. For instance, maybe you’re a Star Wars fan or a baby<br />

boomer. Sample groups include any forums, newsgroups, and<br />

egroups you may subscribe to, and the visitors to your favorite<br />

special-interest website.)<br />

Now, consider this group <strong>of</strong> people. What are they like’ What<br />

are their fears, desires, hopes’ In short, what do they want’<br />

Next, even if you don’t need an ad, write an ad for it.<br />

"An ad about what’!"<br />

Telling them what they want.<br />

"They already know what they want!"<br />

Well, then, this is going to be easy, isn’t it: All you have to<br />

do is tell them that you’ve got it!<br />

"Got what? Where did I get it? I’m not even sure exactly<br />

what it IS!"<br />
