Ordinary
People Making Extraordinary Incomes - Could This Be
You?
Have you ever wondered
whether or not people are *really* profiting from the tons and tons of
information, software, and resources that we provide you with? If you
have, then I think that this issue is not only going to satisfy your
curiosity
its going to give you a little inspirational
boost.
You may recall that in
our Special Quarterly Edition of the newsletter earlier this month, we announced
our Success Story Draw. All of our subscribers were invited to send
us their success stories to be entered in a draw for their choice of one
of the following three fabulous prizes:
Prize #1 --
Mailloop
e-Business Automation Software
Prize #2 --
The
Internet Profit Maker Seminar Videos
Prize #3 --
How
To Profit With A Direct Sales Web Site
Well, to be honest, we
were a little shocked by the sheer volume of entries we received. Literally
hundreds of you sat down and poured your hearts out, e-mailing us stories
of your Internet successes
It was pretty overwhelming.
I spent hours reading
about people from Germany
Singapore
England
Canada
the United States
Australia
People from all over the world
sent me stories about how they dreamed of something better for themselves
and their families -- financial freedom and security -- and started their
own Internet businesses
often from practically nothing.
Honestly, I could spend
hours and hours telling you about the stories Ive read over the past
few weeks
but I think its important that you become acquainted
with some of these people yourself. I think youll learn
something
and maybe youll find the inspiration you
need to make a life-changing decision today.
Here are the success stories
of the 10 people who were randomly chosen in our draw
SUCCESS STORY
#1
First, I should
point out I'm a lazy Internet Marketer. I only made it to tip three
in the Internet Marketing Course. Creating killer copy. I redid my
copy and that doubled sales. I did that 15 months ago. My sales were
$1000 per month and for the last 15 months they've been $2000. That
extra $15,000 helped a lot. I keep thinking I'll move on to another
tip to see if I can do it again.

SUCCESS STORY #2
Looking back, the
mistakes that we were making with our site seem so obvious now that our site
is set-up differently after studying the newsletters and the course that
showed us what we were doing wrong. Here is a sample of what we were
doing wrong with our site that we thought we were doing right:
-
We wanted our clients
to know that we were a company who knew what we were talking about...so we
talked big talk explaining all of the details that we now know turned our
visitors away. They couldn't understand, so instead of captivating
them with our knowledge we actually ran them out the door!
-
We were guilty at first
of using some graphic animation...just a little, but it still gave the impression
of a weak page. It drew away from the content and made it appear
amateurish.
-
Though most of our pages
were designed the same to give a uniformed appearance, we had the page set
up to where the exact same image was actually being called from different
folders, this increased download time since it was a "new" image being drawn
upon each time---stupid mistake!
-
When visitors attempted
to become clients, they may have changed their mind while going through our
ordering process. Even though we accepted credit cards, we didn't elaborate
on the safety and ease they would experience during the order. We found
that explaining the details of the order reassures the customer and allows
them to proceed without much hesitation.
We had many other boo
boos that we had to apply the course to as well, but I don't want to make
this into a novel.
When we first started using Corey's newsletters and eventually his
course, our client base was practically non-existent. After discovering
many things that his course pointed out that we had overlooked, we made a
few changes and our business began to pick up. Now, every time we do
some advertising, we use some of the tips he provides in the course and we
get about 270% more responses than we used to!
Once we started working
the bugs out of our website's text and ads, the results were almost
immediate. The more we use from his course the more results we get!
We just keep learning from mistakes and test new things.
I recommend Corey's course
to anyone who has a website, no matter what their site is about or how much
money they currently make. The course is full of information that can
help anyone, even if you don't have a site or don't know what to sell.
It's all there, and best of all, it can be understood. It is written
in plain understandable English and everything he says makes alot of sense,
no matter how difficult the subject is.
Other so-called "Internet
Marketers" that I have tried to learn from usually don't have a clue as to
what they are talking about. They know people who are trying to learn
how to market successfully are a great target market for themselves!
I have found some that provide decent information, but none to the extent
that Corey's website and course does. His Free Newsletter is more
beneficial than what many others try to charge hundreds for!
Thank you for offering
all of the valuable information that you do, it really makes a difference
in profits for all of us out here in the virtual world.

SUCCESS STORY #3
I bought the Insider
Secrets training course, and tried out the `can you comment on my new
website strategy.
I did not expect many
replies, being English and working in possibly a less responsive marketplace,
but to my amazement, over 50% of my clients either emailed me straight back
or telephoned me to say how flattered they were that I had asked them for
their input, praised the site, and then proceeded to give me more
business. One of them even uses my home page as his
screensaver!! Your course was worth every penny.

SUCCESS STORY #4
My name is Ryan
Seeds. I was first introduced to The Internet Marketing Center about
3 years ago. I bought the guide and it sparked in me a passion for
internet marketing. Since then I've been involved in 3 internet
businesses. One of them is making me about $20,000 a year - that's
almost as much as I make at my full time job!
My most recent involvement
has been with www.gomovietrailers.com - a high-quality movie trailers and
media website. Through the use of your marketing guide and WebPosition Gold
(which you recommended) we have been able to triple our traffic every few
months! I expect this will become
another profitable
venture!

SUCCESS STORY #5
I am from Singapore.
I wanted to start a home business in 1999, but have no idea how to get started.
Still having the "old economy" mindset, I wrote a business plan that needed
almost S$30,000 [$16,500 US] for start-up cost.
I also calculated that
my monthly operating cost & marketing cost to be around S$5,000 to S$10,000
[$2,800 to $5,500 US]. At that time, I only have S$5,000 [$2,800] in my account.
How can I ever be able to start my business?
Thank God I found Corey's
"The Insider Secrets to Marketing your Business on the Internet". Initially,
I was not willing to pay nearly $200 for the course because I am not sure
whether this course will help me at all. My husband encouraged me to give
it a try. Boy, am I glad I took his advice.
After reading the course,
I re-wrote my whole business plan and slash my start-up cost to less than
S$5,000 [$2,800 US]. I have decided to use most of the software he recommended
and therefore slash another 80% off my monthly operating & marketing
cost. Even before starting my business, I have already taken back all my
investment in the course!
I wanted to fully automate
my business since day one. Before I launched my site, I have already set
up mailloop. Now, I have launched my site for 2 weeks. Mailloop had helped
me captured my new members' data, send a welcome letter to them automatically
without me lifting a finger. I have a few free reports for my visitors. Even
without them signing as member, I have their particulars captured by Mailloop
when they request for the reports. I am planning to start my newsletter soon,
of course, I will be using Mailloop again!
I highly recommend both
the course, mailloop & the other software recommended by Corey in the
course. If you are just starting out, don't waste your time shopping
around for courses & software that do not work. The course contains
everything you needed to succeed. Corey, you are truly my business
mentor!

SUCCESS STORY #6
About six years
ago a friend of mine introduced me to the Internet. At first I was skeptical.
It amazed me but I was skeptical. This is great for techno-geeks but Im
not sure about the general public. My friend, Michael Markey (owner of
http://bumpercovers.com) challenged me to learn html. So I took his challenge
and iNet iMage Developers was born. Michael went to businesses and sold them
websites, I designed them.
We tried this for a while
but there just wasnt enough interest in the Internet at that time for
us to make a living. Michael went on to pursue a different career. I was
determined that the Internet was going to make me a fortune or at least a
living. I pushed and struggled for years barely getting by. When I got to
the point of absolute frustration and envisioned the end of iNet iMage
Developers, I discovered the TRUTH about Internet success.
Without the proper marketing
skills, my dream and I were doomed. I had put together a great business model,
I had invested every penny of money that I could scrap up, I new that my
products (hosting and website design) were absolute necessities on the Internet.
My fate rested with digging in and learning to market my skills.
I began researching every
spec of marketing material I could find. I began applying what I was learning
and to my surprise, the waters began to stir. Traffic to my site began to
increase slowly until I reached a plateau. Much to my happiness I discovered
The Internet Marketing Center. I found not only the meat but also the
potatoes. I chewed this site up.
At first I couldnt
afford the books and courses but I was amazed at the amount of information
that I was getting from the sites newsletter. I read and re-read every issue
that came. They were loaded with tasty tidbits of useful information that,
when I applied them, began to catapult my sales. I was so impressed (and
a little bit better off financially) that I bought ALL of the books and courses.
What a wealth of USEFUL marketing knowledge. No BS just good stuff!
I am happy to share with
you that now iNet iMage Developers is a big fish in an ever-growing pond.
We have moved Globally and our sales in the last year alone have increased
by over 800%. (Jan 2000 to Jan 2001 sales increased 817% from Jan 1999 to
Jan 2000). I must say that I owe the success of my business to my discovery
of The Internet Marketing Center and my willingness to IMPLEMENT what I was
learning.
I am so very happy with
the expert tutelage of the Internet Marketing Center that I recommend it
to anyone who truly wants to succeed. Please, feel free to share this Success
Story with your readers.

SUCCESS STORY #7
We started our business
in 1996. Before we started marketing our website, we didnt get
a single order because no one knew we existed. In 1998, we purchased
Mailloop from the Internet Marketing Center. As soon as we started
marketing our website, which included using Mailloop, our sales increased
monthly.
Weve been using
Mailloop successfully for 3 years now. Some businesses struggle to
make a profit within the first four-five years. After we started using
Mailloop, our business made its first profit within a year. Within
3 years, our business profit increased by 242%.
We've saved hours and
hours each week because of Mailloop and time is priceless to me, especially
since I work out of my home with a five year old in tow! Mailloop paid for
itself within the first month of using it, there is no doubt in our mind
about that.
We've also used the newsletter
capability to keep in touch with current customers and prospects on our mailing
list - informing about new products, shows, special offers and so forth.
This has been instrumental in bringing customers back for second and third
orders.
The more times a customer
visits our site, the more likely we are to get an order! Just this
one feature has been so valuable to us! For example I test marketed
sending out a Mailloop mailing to previous customers offering them a 10%
discount on their next order. From 10 emailings we received 6
orders. Without Mailloop, the whole procedure would have taken 10 times
as long.
We still haven't taken
advantage of all the features including the scheduling - auto-pilot
capabilities which I know would save us even more time and get us more
organized. Without a doubt, our experience getting our website business
going and working with Mailloop has been very positive.
Good luck with your endeavors
and dont give up!

SUCCESS STORY #8
We bought the Internet
Marketing course last year and this is what got us started. I have
been looking for the right profession for me for a long time. In the meantime
I have tried out Natural Therapies, Real Estate, remedial massage and much
more. I always felt it wasn't for me. I have always been told
that I should have a job in which I can inspire people and I believe I finally
found it.
As I was reading through
the manuals, which are very professionally done, I may add, I was jotting
down ideas as they came to me. One day, I was talking to my partner
about ideas and we finally merged our ideas and dreams and came up with Rainbow
Inspiration. We got started and have now written a 12 week inspiration
course. I have used a number of the tips mentioned in the course and
are still getting involved in more and more activities as a result of
this. We also bought Mailloop and Site Promoter and both of them have
been a great help to our business.
In summary, the course
gave me the incentive to get started. We might otherwise never have
gotten off the ground.
Mailloop has helped
us automate a big part of the business, which might otherwise tie up a big
part of my day.
Site Promoter helped me
launch our web site onto several search engines without working night and
day for a week.
When we can afford
to, we are certainly looking at getting more of the software packages mentioned
in the course to help us promote and maintain our business on the net.
We only just launched
our web site a month ago, so we are not millionaires yet. However,
I still believe that if I had not bought and read the course I might still
be looking for my dream.
Thank you Corey and keep
up the good inspiring work.

SUCCESS STORY #9
We are a small,
new company manufacturing and marketing our own products. We have had a huge
learning curve over the past few months, but believe that we have made a
lot of headway and my knowledge on building a website was next to none. However,
your Marketing Tips newsletters have intrigued me over and over again and
helped me to make decisions more effectively.
I have learned how to
advertise our product on related websites, get the much needed information
as to where our visitors are coming from to our site and I also wrote product
information on one our products using your many tips and your example of
writing techniques.
Keep sending these
newsletters! I print each one I receive, read it and file it in a binder
for reference. I strongly recommend your marketing tips to anyone who wants
to build an effective and efficient website and have fun learning while building
it.

SUCCESS STORY #10
I started my web
site a year ago to resell a portfolio of domain names. It was doing nothing
so I implemented a few of the tricks revealed in the IMC Marketing Tips course
- and provided free information.
The visitors loved it
but I wasn't selling anything. I purchased Mailloop and used it to send an
email sales letter to a large list of potential domain name buyers from a
directory. Within 24 hours, I sold a name for well over £1000 that paid
for my domain portfolio AND Mailloop AND my IMC course.
Now, I own eBookPro and
have written an eBook on search engine placement explaining how I got to
#1 in many search engines. It's selling - only small amounts at present,
but just ONE week ago, this was just an idea!
I have several more planned
and in production. Once I have enough eBook titles, I shall probably get
AssocTrac too.
I am a UK skeptic. I don't
often buy into Internet hype, but
IMC has changed my
view.
