Hey there, dear friend,
How\’s it going? I hope you\’re feeling as fantastic as I am today. I\’m bursting with excitement to share some incredibly powerful insights about monetizing your website—a goldmine of information that most web designers won\’t ever reveal. It\’s not because they\’re selfish; it\’s more likely that they lack the precise know-how or skills that I\’m about to divulge.
Over the past few months, during my web design and marketing consultations in Dar es Salaam, I\’ve encountered numerous business owners grappling, some still struggling, to generate online revenue—with little to show for their efforts. In fact, many have reached a point where they doubt the possibility of making tangible profits on the internet. If you\’re nodding in agreement, today\’s your lucky day—your beliefs are about to take a major turn.
Let me rewind to a few years back when I embarked on my first recommendation marketing venture. I was brimming with enthusiasm, motivated, prepared to go the extra mile for success…
That was until my mentor dropped a bombshell—I needed to pitch my family and friends, trying to \”rope them in\” to the business! I was anxious, even scared…
Have you ever been in that spot? It\’s no picnic, especially when you\’re not entirely sure what you\’re talking about. If you\’re anything like me, most of your family and friends probably just chuckled and declined.
They might have said, \”Is this some kind of pyramid scheme?\” or \”Sounds too good to be true, be cautious.\” Ninety-five percent of them declined, and of the 5% that joined, none took action!
Leaving me disheartened, frustrated, and feeling let down. It wasn\’t until a few short years ago that I realized—I didn\’t have to build my business using outdated methods… No more coffee shop presentations… No pestering friends and family… No hosting home parties… No dragging people to hotel meetings… No distributing flyers at the mall…
In fact, today, I don\’t engage in any of that.
The real headache arises when you\’ve \”used up\” your contacts and have bugged everyone you know—you\’re left with no warm leads to approach…
And that\’s a tough spot because people usually only join those they Know, Like, and Trust!
So, what\’s the way out?
You\’ve got to cultivate a NEW warm market or call it quits!
Absolutely!
You could join breakfast clubs, attend meetings, collect business cards from strangers, or start your own meet-up groups…
But here\’s the kicker—you\’ll likely have to leave home, commute, sacrifice family time, and contend with traffic.
And let\’s face it, meeting new folks who might join your business isn\’t a walk in the park, is it?
But guess what?
I\’ve got fantastic news for you…
There\’s a BETTER way…
You can do it ALL online, from the comfort of your home, forging meaningful relationships with brand new prospects!
They come to YOU! You ATTRACT people, rather than chasing after them…
And then you get to cherry-pick who you want to talk to about joining your business!
Sounds like a WIN-WIN, right?
When I talk about making money with your website, I\’m referring to using it as a marketing powerhouse that draws in engaging prospects, leading them to purchase your products or services—whether online or offline. In our Tanzanian setting, it\’s often easier to convert prospects into offline buyers, with your website playing a crucial role in influencing their purchasing decisions.
In the next few minutes, you\’re diving deep into leveraging the internet and your website—for stuffing cash into your pockets, not draining it out. And guess what? You don\’t need prior experience. The strategies I\’m about to lay out are the same ones used by top-notch internet marketers who\’ve built 6 to 7-figure businesses, both online and offline.
The best part? You can replicate these strategies and instantly apply them to your business. No degree, HTML, or computer wizardry required for online success.
So, let\’s roll! To establish a robust online business, you need:
- Money-Making Website
- Understanding of Your Target Market
- Traffic Generation
- Strategic Marketing
- A Team Supporting You
- Your Personalized System
Money-Making Website:
When I say \’money-making website,\’ I mean a site that ticks the following boxes:
1. Attractive Website
Although this is not the most important thing you need in a website, an appealing website that is well designed and can be easily navigated out-performs an ugly un-organized website.
2. Search Engine Friendly
You’re probably sitting here and don’t understand why your website doesn’t rank higher in the search engines as compared to your competitors who don’t have as much content as you do. Well, there might be many reasons but the first thing you need to ask is, “Is Your Website Search Engine Friendly”. Search engines such as Google favor some websites and punishes other according to how well they are structured for them. If you’re a web designer you probably understand how to structure your HTML codes for the search engine. If you’re don’t worry! There’s an easier and better way to own a website that is well structured for the search engine and I’ll be showing you that in a while.
3. Easily Integrate-able with social media
It doesn’t take a smart person to notice that the Internet is getting more social every day and Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter are dominating cyberspace. Facebook alone has 900 Million users. If your website is not integrated with social media, then you’re leaving a lot of money on the table. Your website needs to be structured in such a way that… Whenever you post an article it automatically gets shared on Facebook & Twitter Your readers can share your content on different social networks with a click of a button When your readers comment, their comment can also be seen on Facebook (just like our Facebook comment below) Your audience can easily connect with you via social media just like our Facebook, Twitter & YouTube buttons you see on the left
5. Easy to add new content at any time
One of the biggest challenges I’ve observed while offering consultation in Arusha, Moshi, Dar, and Zanzibar is that clients have been telling me they faced challenges updating their content on time as their web designers were too busy to upload their new content. What most people don’t understand is that you DO NOT NEED A WEB DESIGNER when you need to add new content (that is if you have the right web technology). You just need to have content and fingers to type your content. So it’s very important you tell your web designer to create a web platform in which you can put your own content without having to disturb him.
6. Has a Capture Form
This is probably one of the most important money-making tools you need in your website and it is yet the most ignored. Studies show that more than 80% of your web visitors won’t come back to your website FOREVER! Wouldn’t it be smart if you were able to get their contact and communicate with them in their email inbox? what if you could tell the majority of your visitors about the new offer you’ve posted online? To get more people subscribing to your capture form, you need to give something in exchange for their name, email, and phone number. People don’t like giving away their personal information just like that. In marketing we call it “Marketing Bribe” You can hand them a FREE report, FREE training course, FREE video or audio. A good example of a capture form with a marketing bribe is Our Own Lead Capture Page.
7. Integrated With Email Auto-Responder
Just imagine 10, 20, 50, or even 100 people start subscribing to your capture form. Just imagine after a few years you have a list of 100,000 people. With an email auto responder software like Aweber (which I highly recommend) you can create email campaigns that will be sending emails to all your 100,000 people on autopilot. While you enjoy your coconut drink in Hawaii, Aweber does all the marketing for you. If your website has all the 7 points I just mentioned, then it has positioned itself to make money. If it has not, then I highly recommend you contact your webmaster to do that for you
