Automated systems work well if your product is digital and costs less than $99. The seller will attain better results when the sales page is formulated with a personalized video explaining the product and showing proof of training resources, or the product or their earnings. But what if you are selling a higher end network marketing product ... what are some of the best steps to take to build enough trust or reasons for a buyer to purchase the product sight unseen?

Here Are My 5 Top Tips:

1. Building A Web Presence

It is necessary to have a web presence to market your product. The latest web 2.0 techniques covering the umbrella of social book marking sites, like blogs and video lure search engine spiders like flies to a web. The latest marketing techniques level the paying field, making it no longer necessary to have a huge advertising budget to have your website ranked high in the search engines. Utilizing a selection of varied marketing methods on a regular basis will attract traffic to your website.

2. Building relationships

Showing your face, recording your voice and adding testimonials to your site all increase the connection between you and your web visitors. Your new clients should feel as if they know you and can trust you and can contact you at any time without feeling like they are a burden to you.

3. Giving advice

Writing articles with useful materials will result in increased free traffic to your website and will establish you as an authority in your niche. Offering free reports, free downloads and adding web content will keep the internet seekers coming back to your site.

4. Adding Bonuses

Using competitions and time sensitive bonuses will add to the sense of urgency. Seekers will become buyers if they have a reason to purchase today. The one time offer strategy has become a huge success with internet marketers.

5. Care after the sale

Once the sale is done, many marketers feel that their job is over, in reality this is the most important aspect to any sale. Taking time to market and establish rapport with a client only to drop them after the purchase will lead to discontented members and complaints. Establishing a regimen of regular contact and training is essential for the success of your business and growth of your down-line.

Raster graphics creates images from simple line arrangements and usually has a bitmap format, where the image is pixelized (those visible squares that appear when you enlarge a photo).

Some examples of raster graphics include Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, and Adobe Photoshop. Vector graphics on the other hand, uses mathematical formulas in creating geometric figures, polygons, and lines. It can create and resize images to infinite proportions without losing the image quality. It can also be used to create interactive and animated images, as well as games and advanced web designs.

As we enter our mid-life years, the application and make up tricks for women 40 yrs plus become more necessary. We want to take years off our age as well as ensuring that our appearance portrays the smart, confident, savvy woman that we are.

Discover how to use make up tricks to make the most of your face, and also get the most out of your cosmetic bag.

Ensure you face is prepared with cleansing and moisturizing.

Dark circles under eyes Mix concealer with your light foundation and gently pat then spread over the darker areas.

Dark shadows on the inside of the nose bone dot then smooth concealer there will take 5 years off your age.

Eye bags dot concealer and smooth underneath the bags to disguise the shadow. Use a lighter foundation over the puffy bags themselves.

Double chin dust bronzing powder under the chin with a large soft brush. This works wonders in concealing double chins and jowls that occur as we age.

Lack of eyebrows use a matte finish, waterproof brow or eye pencil that matches your hair colour to draw on the sparse portion of your natural brow. Never use black eyebrow pencil.

Dull eyes Before applying cosmetics, get out a bottle of Visine. A few drops will restore the whites of your eyes that often lose their brilliance as we age. Removing redness from the eyes instantly freshens up the whole face. Use a glossy acrylic-based mascara to add shine.

Tired eyes use softer shades of eye shadow in peach tones (not pink) and add blusher to move the focus away. Lightly shade the area just above the arch of your brow with a nude liner and blend, to subtly light up your face and create the illusion of higher brows and lids.

Puffy eyes place cold compress on eyes for a few minutes prior to adding make up. Use softer shades on eyelids with a little darker tone in the crease of the eyelid.

Small eyes use a lash curler after applying mascara to give the appearance of bigger eyes.

Thin lips Use a lip plumping primer before applying lipstick to add volume. Do not use a pencil outside the natural line of your lips as close-up it shows and is not attractive. Soft matte lip colours in pink, berry, coral or peach shades will make your lips fuller. Dab the middle of your lower lip with a bit of silver or gold lip gloss for creating the illusion of fullness.

Bleeding lipstick outline lips with a lip pencil or preferably use a stiff bristled brush and blush to line the lips before applying a non waxy or semi matte lipstick.

Colour choices - be soft and subtle in the choice of makeup and colours for the youthful look. To ensure foundation is the correct colour for your face, test on the inside of your wrist.

The above make up tricks for women 40 yrs plus will help conceal their age effectively and look young forever. Choose colours wisely, apply confidently and discreetly and you will be gorgeous.

Do you utilize direct mail techniques to increase business or are you still stuck in the ad agency train of thought that says direct response mail doesnt work?

Dollar for dollar direct mail outperforms and out delivers many traditional media outlets. However, there is a method to the madness and reasons why some DR techniques fail.

Recently a direct mail piece was sent to my list and Ive received fantastic feedback. I know there are some people shaking their heads and wondering why I would invest in direct mail with typical response rates of 1 to 2%. Let me explain.

Direct mail when implemented properly does produce results. There was certainly a time, back in the day when I worked for ad agencies, that I questioned direct mail too. I trusted the statistics and previous mentors who had experienced direct mail results that were less than favorable. Then I started studying the masters of direct response copy and mail. My tune has changed and I am sure a lot of that has to do with exposure to Dan Kennedy and Glazer Kennedy Inner Circle (among others).

Here are some tactics I use to make my direct mail stand out. My direct mail is well branded, lumpy and provokes thought. Not only that, its personalized with a call to action.

You can experience DR success by implementing the following techniques.

1. Have a purpose. Clearly define what you want your direct marketing piece to achieve.

2. Know who you are talking to and speak in a language that reaches them.

3. Personalize the piece by using your customers name.

4. Re-educate clients on your value.

5. Ask your reader to take action.

6. Include a promotional item that adds dimension to your mail piece and value to the recipient.

7. Timing - schedule local market delivery to coincide with networking events and national delivery to coincide with something timely on your blog or in your ezine.

This list may seem simple and it really is a quick highlight of what you need to incorporate. However, it works. Heres what I did to make the most out of my mailing.

I sent a personal letter to my list to ask them to hire me for future copywriting projects.

Each letter was addressed to the individual by name.

I included a brochure that re-educates clients on the value of copywriting and made sure all materials were branded.

I asked recipients to not only hire me in the future but to do something for themselves in the interim.

I included a promotional pen and suggested it be used for personal correspondence and that I should be hired to write copy.

Locally, I mailed this right before a Chamber of Commerce networking event. Key people at the event received my mailing the day before or the day of the event. Buzz was created and others wanted to know more about the mailing.

The ultimate outcomeseveral new leads including requests to develop training for a program via the local college providing customized employer training in the workplace. Oh and an increase of my list because the buzz made others so curious they requested a copy of the mailing.

Finally, about the cost effectiveness of direct mail~ with only one of the leads converting to a sale (and I am sure there will be more), I have more than paid for the mailing.
