This strategy of how to win $200,000 in 10 easy steps requires some explanation. Once you understand the concept, you’ll have a formula for success that you can repeat.
Ok, let’s say there are about 50 people outside your adventure tent. You want everyone to come in and hang out. So you offer pizza, drinks, music, games, and great social company for $5 each. Once you have a group of people inside the shop and they’re having fun, you offer them a one-day local weekend retreat to introduce them to rock climbing at a nearby, easily accessible location for a modest fee of $50. This is the first step of your plan.
For step two, continue to sell to the same group of people on the weekend trip. This time you offer a full weekend adventure to a National Park to rock climb for $500.
Now we are ready for our third and final sales pitch. On the weekend during the National Park adventure, he offers to plan a 2-week adventure in Thailand to climb the Adaman Sea for $5,000 each.
The above is a basic strategy to increase the sales of a single group. Okay, now let’s assume that your cult of personality combined with your brilliant sales skills combined to guarantee you 10% of almost any audience you sell to. And let’s also assume that your initial big party had 1000 attendees. Here’s a breakdown:
10% of 1000 = 100 x $005 = 500
10% of 0100 = 010 x $050 = 500
10% of 0010 = 001 x $500 = 500
Total $1,500
That’s not enough money to motivate us. So what we need to do is improve our promotions and find a way to attract 10,000 people to our kickoff party. For this to work at 10% we would need 10,000 people to start or 10 groups of 1000 people. But look at the difference with 10,000.
10% of 10,000 = 1,000 x $005 = 5,000
10% of 01000 = 0100 x $050 = 5000
10% of 00100 = 0010 x $500 = 5000
10% of 00010 = 0001 x $5000 = 5000
Total $20,000
However, you can hardly run an adventure program in Thailand with just 1 person. There should be at least a small group of 5, but 10 is easier to work with as many may adjust their schedule or cancel. So for this formula to be a guaranteed success, there must be at least 100,000 people to start with. But look at how this drastically changes the formula:
10% of 100,000 = 10,000 x $005 = 50,000
10% of 010,000 = 001000 x $050 = 50,000
10% of 01000, = 00100 x $500 = 50,000
10% of 00100 = 0010 x $5000 = 50000
Total $200,000
Now you might be telling yourself. Wait a second. There is NO WAY I am going to attract 1000 people to my house or store, let alone 100,000. But that is only a limited view. What if your house or store were on the Internet? Can you attract 1,000 people on the Internet? If you can attract 1 person, you should have a system to attract 1 million (theoretically).
So if you can drive traffic to a website for a particular program or offer and convert 10% of them and continue to convert 10% of each, then the idea is pretty simple. This can be done with 1 website that generates 100,000 visits per YEAR or 10 websites that generate 10,000 visits per year.
To be a pessimist, one could say that what would happen if you only received 50% success from this formula. That’s still an internet-based income of $100,000. Getting 10,000 visits to a website may seem like the real challenge, but with time invested in content, content, content, external and internal, a solid force could be built. It might be possible to get 100,000 views per MONTH, which should be the goal. I like both, so I think we should have a goal of getting 200,000 visits per month to your MAIN website to focus on conversions. The plan is that we have to do the math on traffic generation.
For example, if we ship 1 article and it generates 10 hits, we know that 1 = 10 in the articles department per month. So, 10 articles = 100 visits and 100 articles = 1000 visits. Naturally, writing 1000 articles is a challenge, so it would be better to write 100 articles to get our base of 1000 views and then focus on sending these articles to 10 key locations that would get us 1000 views out of 100 articles. Naturally, this number would be closer to 10,000, but we have to think with a plan for the worst: hope for the best attitude.
So we have 1 tool to get 10,000 new visits per month.
With the above and at least 10 (shoot 20) other strategies to reach our challenge of 200,000 visits per month. Here are a few:
01 shipment of articles
02 blogs
03 SEO for websites (you should have as many as possible)
04 affiliates (100 sites promoting your site)
05 Pay Per Click Advertising Like – AdWords
06 YouTube Video Popularity Contests
07 Community sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc.
08 Advertising in related magazines
09 Banners and promotions on related websites
10 Links to other sites
I think it would take a minimum of 1 month to really implement and focus on each of these strategies to get the most out of them. Do the easiest and fastest ones FIRST. Make proper use of Google Analytics and DO NOT stop until you reach 200,000 visits. Yes, this is a THINK BIG strategy, but keep in mind that if you only reach 25% of this goal, you are still on the road to success.
