So how's your talking about technology? You are saying, "get traffic and convert to sales" I think this too broad can you explain further this one for me? -Jan Unfortunately I’m not one the delegates, I wish I was, so I cannot make a comment to you.

One story I recently came across was where a particular consultant created a web page highly optimised around the fact that he WAS NOT Australia's leading web developer. No problems with false promises here. The beauty of this campaign was that in having created such a landing page he could say a whole lot of things about what he was not but as the search engines don't distinguish between what you say you are and what you say your aren't their analysis of the page lead him to being ranked #1 when searching on "Australia's Leading Web developer". This of course attracted a lot of click thru's to his site. So where was the value in it for him? Quite simply, he was in the business of search engine optimisation. Not only had he proven his skills but he had also attracted a market who, though they were looking for web developers, finding a web designer and SEO expert was very much of interest to them. The concept of leveraging off related products and services is not new but is one quite often overlooked by many businesses. In view of the fact that I also am a professional web design and internet marketing consultant living in the same city as this person, I won't bother giving out his name. I do however applaud his ingenuity. It is a different slant on VIRAL Marketing as espoused by Seth Goddin in his book "The Purple Cow" There are no end to marvelous stories of ingenuity around attracting business opportunities through clever internet marketing strategies.

I agree, all is for nothing if you can't drive traffic to your website. Andrew and Daryl will talk about how they drive traffic to their websites. They now have over 100 websites and use a variety of tactics to get lots of traffic including landing pages that capture email addresses, joint ventures, Google, etc. We have Monte Huebsch talking about Google ads - that's 100% about driving traffic. And it's powerful IF you do it right. As well, Matt Clarkson will talk about how businesses can use eBay to get more traffic. There are lots of surprises in this session. We'll also be covering blogging and using social networks to generate more traffic for your sites. And we'll cover how to get better results through organic searches - developing and designing a website that get traffic, using SEO and keywords to increase traffic. Hope that helps. Cheers Gail Geronimos Hi Dan

Thanks and i hope my feedback is of value. Dan Cavalli Hi Gail,
I listened to the audio with great interest and noted the following subjects were mentioned as important:

Sales copy must be right
Web site must be correct
Selling one product per site
Converting sales from visitors
Making money from your customers
Mistakes to avoid
What not to do
Make money with the Internet
Make thousands from a 15 minute email
Internet is automated
How to look after your existing clients
Get your customers to make 8 times more sales
Its more expensive to get a new customer so look after them
Customers add value and are a valuable asset for selling business

And other etc, etc, etc

*All these are very important but none of them will work [and are worth nothing] if you don’t get visitors to your Website.

**I was dissapointed that I didn’t hear anything about learning how to get traffic or how to build a list of prospects.

***Getting email addresses and visitors are important to me Gail, do you cover this in the course?

Thanks and i hope my feedback is of value.

Did you use the Infusion guys from the US? My business is going through issues that demand a system like infusionsoft..ie multiple apps for different things which are not integrated and an automatic system for followup. I'd be interested in what other systems you considered along with infusionsoft. I look forward to the seminar and will be booking shortly. Cheers Edmund Pelgen Hi Gail,

We were slightly hesitant in doing so, as were not sure whether shoes would sell without the customer trying them on! We splashed our website everywhere possible, from all in-store marketing to print advertising. We set up a links page and made contact with third party alliances to swap links. We market our company through Expo's, National wedding magazines, local TV, glossy magazines, our VIP memberships, and yet have been astounded at the response from our online service. Our internet sales have increased 270% this financial year!!! Our shoes have been sent all over Australia, as well as USA, Sweden, NZ and South Africa! Talk about an eye opener! We are now looking at GoogleAds to increase our traffic further. Hi,

Ecommerce is perfect for this product, as cold calling does not bring the desired results, and the people coming onto the site would prequalify themselves.

I was working from a bungalo at the back of the house and he noticed I didn't have a web site (or an email for that matter). A few hours later he had put my business online and I have to say I was a bit skeptical. The following morning after breakfast I turned on my computer and to my surprise there was an email waiting for me. It was from a consultant in Brazil who said he had been trying to track me down for two years after hearing about my Franchise E-Factor Model and he was inviting to bring me to Brazil. I thought it was a joke and went inside chuckling to tell my friend and my wife, Ann. Three months later Ann and I were flying first class to Brazil! It was my first trip out of Australia. When we arrived back (it was a blast of a trip) I told my story at a franchise industry breakfast in Melbourne. I remember the MC of the breakfast saying "Well there you go, it looks like this Internet thing actually works." I've since sold nearly 20,000 copies of my book, Profitable Partnerships, which is sold exclusively through our website and 55% of our sales are international.
