Advice You - Internet and Businesses Online

There are many ways to build a profitable website. You can offer a service, sell a product directly, sell something indirectly, sell advertising space, sell affiliate products, and everything in-between.

There are a number of methods you can use to improve your site. Follow these steps and you too can have a moneymaking site that will practically run on autopilot. These sites make money in many different ways.

I don't say this idly. I, and a thousand of other marketers do exactly this. It's a

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

guaranteed blueprint if everything is set up correctly. And it's not difficult.

The type of site discussed here is the "free" site - one that offers a valuable product at no cost upfront. These are powerful ways of generating income.

Here are the top 7 elements that make a website into a cash-cow...

1. The Copy

"Copy" is basically the text on your website. It will take up most of the page, apart from the graphics and interactive elements (e.g. forms or buttons). In fact, you shouldn't use

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

too many graphics and focus on the wording instead. A header image, a cover image, and a screenshot are usually sufficient.

Copywriting is a skill that can be worked on and the subject is far too big to go into detail here. However one of the worst things you do is to endlessly tweak the page. You should get *something* up as soon as you can and edit it over time. Copywriting is one of two of the most important tasks for a website (the other is promotion) and it's an ongoing process.

There ar

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

a number of factors to be taken into consideration.

First, and foremost, you need a strong headline. This should attract the visitors attention and get them to read more. A number of `tricks` top copywriters use are "How To..." headlines, "x Ways To..." headlines, and question headlines. You can also have sub-headline and even sub-sub-headlines. It makes sense to establish the point of your site right here at the start.

The body text can be thought of as a letter to your prospective custome

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

r. It's best to write in a friendly way, focusing on their needs and wants and providing the solution. Above all remember that point of this page is to get the visitor to take action, such as fill in a form, click a link, make a payment etc. Anything else such as "multimedia overload" or links away from the page can prove to be a distraction.

You can jazz the copy up with judicious use of Bold, Italics, Underline, boxed areas, highlighted text and coloured text (usually red, but whatever you u

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

e keep the colours to a minimum).

Certain words and phrases can elicit an emotional response (e.g. "Free", "Secret", "Hot", "Important" etc), and curiosity is allways a good way to keep your prospect interested.

Because some people tend to just scan a webpage the use of sub-headlines throught the text and bullets can help catch their attention. Here we use a tick-graphic as we list the content.

Finally, testimonials can help provide proof on your website. You can get these easily by asking f

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

or them after a few sales, or by providing free pre-copies in exchange for a review/testimonial. You can also show proof in other ways, such as images of your income (paypal account, cheque scan, etc) if you are running a online business site.

(Tip: If all this seems a little confusing just view existing sales-letters on the web. You'll soon get a feel for it. All top Marketers `copy` and have a "swipe file" of great ads.)

Google Adsense is an easy way to a monetise a website and would be you

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

first income stream (see point 3). However don't just jump the gun and place ads everywhere, as they can take your visitor away from your site.

Everyone seems to use Google Adsense these days so it's also important to know there ARE alternatives, which are reported to have varying degrees of success. AdSense provides context-targeted ads (they automatically relate to your site), some of the others don't. If you're interested look into Chikita MiniMalls, Yahoo Ads, or the clickbank-based Affil

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

2. The Form

Some sites are not interested in selling upfront. The point of these pages are to capture the visitors name and e-mail address.

After we do this we provide the download. It's a quick and easy process and most interested prospects are happy to do this. It's a win/win situation. The webmaster get the new subscriber, they get a quality ebook bundle.

You create a form easily as most autoresponders (whether you use a third-party or a script on your site) will build on

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

for you.

Getting a new subscriber is very important, as they could be a customer for a long time to come. Just don't abuse the relationship.

3. The One Time Offer

This is the first income-stream on a "free" site. It's an `upsell`, even though there is no real sale on the first page (just a subscribe action).

Income-Streams are simply the various ways you can make money. For example, if you are an online businessperson you could be selling software, using ebay, consulting, designing website

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

s, copywriting, promoting sites and more. Each of these would be an income stream. If you also work in a regular job that too would be an income stream, possibly your primary one. It's far easier to `get rich` if you have a number of options working for you.

The One Time Offer here will show another related product, in this case a premium bundle of marketing-related software and books. For a One Time Offer to work you should price it low and over-deliver on the contents.

4. The Product

Following aspects would a

main product should provide whatever you promise. That is a given. It could also be working for you in many more ways and act as your ambassador on the web.

First, provide giveaway, resell, master-resell rights or all three. This means the product can be passed on and provide a viral effect. It's up to you whether you charge for your product or not. If you do then these sales are your second income stream.

Sometimes the product will spread further if it's a sold item as the prospect of making

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

sales will encourage other marketers to promote it. You can provide a website and sales-materials such as pre-written ads to make the task easier for them.

Within the product include links to your main site(s). If you have many sites then there should be a web of links connecting them all to each other. You can also provide ads to affiliate programs or other products you sell / giveaway but don't overdo it and don't do it at the expense of the product itself. Always deliver what you promised!

5. The E-Course

Since you've captured the prospects e-mail address it's worth your time setting up an e-course to be delivered over a period of days, and it can both provide valuable information to them and keep on plugging your product (or an upsell).

Make sure you tell the customer that they will receive this information.

Each e-mail in the course can also promote another product, so even after the free software is downloaded the e-mails will continue to make sales.

It's usually consider

d ok to keep the subscriber past the course as long as they are aware of this fact and can unsubscribe at any time (a legal requirement). Automated un-subscribe links are usually available from your Autoresponder, or you allow them to contact you manually - the usual ways is by replying to the message with `Remove` or similar. I prefer the latter as I have had many, many subscribers who report clicking the automatic link by mistake.

6. The Upgrade

This is the third and main income stream at t

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

he "free" site. There are many ways a visitor could get here, from clicking directly, from the links in the free ebook, from the links in the e-course, or from links from affiliates.

The entire website could have easily been more traditional, and just offered a sales page for this package (as most do). However the techniques described above provide far more scope for sales as I hope you can see.

This premium package is again priced realistically and over-delivers on it's content. There are al

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

o other benefits included that can help promote the site, and as above they are a win/win situation.

First the package comes with a 50% Affiliate Program, paid instantly. This turns all your customers into a potential affiliate. It's a fair system used across countless sites on the internet, since any profits are split equally.

Secondly there is a brandable version of the giveaway and a copy of the website. This gives the customer the power to be a copy of your "free" site themselves. It allo

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

ws them to give away the product, as before, but now with potential of making an income from it.

Sometimes branding rights are given with the product as an incentive to purchase. In our case, the main product is free, so the upgrade provides those rights. However you do it branding can create a massive viral effect.

7. The Future

To summarise the action of a visitor so far: He/she arrives at the website, fills in the form, is offered a one-time-offer, downloads the ebook, starts receiving th

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

e-course. The book and course link back to the upgrade page. That is the "visitor path".

The income streams are: Sales of the one time offer, affiliate program links in branded books, sales of the upgrade.

So what now?

Even though you could have made money in three or more ways by this point an actual e-mail address of a happy customer is perhaps the most lucrative. If they stay with you, you could keep in contact with carefully choosen and relevant content for years to come.

You could pro

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

vide an e-zine, periodical free downloads (perhaps branded to earn you commissions), articles, and affiliate offers. This is technically an income stream in itself for a well-built subscriber list will literally allow you generate cash on demand - all you do is press a `send` button!

After you've built your site and it's working correctly all you need to do is promote it. This is a subject unto itself but remember: a well designed site with interested visitors is almost guaranteed to succeed..
