Your web visitors and customers are more than faceless names with credit card numbers… they’re real people.
Imagine what you could learn if you actually chatted with them! You could find out what their questions are, why they’re buying or not buying, what they would like to see on your site, what products they want to purchase, etc.
In traditional Internet marketing, we’re all about putting up a salespage and driving traffic to it.
But how much better would our conversion rate be if our customers could actually chat with a real live breathing human being?
I think it might be interesting to find out.
Mind you, I’m not ready to have operators manning my sites 24/7.
But once in awhile, when I’m rolling out a new campaign, it might be highly educational to speak with some of my visitors.
Imagine their surprise when they hit the chat button and actually get the creator of the product they’re thinking of buying.
If you’re interested, you can chat with website visitors for free

I have been working on a new project that uses WordPress to create instant membership sites which can also be integrated with both PayPal and Clickbank recurring payment systems.
This is a major breakthrough because it’s incredibly easy to setup and create totally automatic membership site(s) that collects payments and manages members on it’s own while you create awesome content.
But what’s really cool is the ability of this system to ‘hide’ parts of an article or content behind the ‘membership’ curtain so that only members can access it while at the same time keyword rich paragraphs and long tail phrases are exposed to search engine bots for great indexing in much the same way (but not the same method) that membergate does.
Here’s a site I have been working on for this project:

Although I just finished it, I got my first 2 members yesterday and it is being aggressively indexed

Collin LaHay, the founder of WordHugger, has a great idea:
Help bloggers get the word out about their sites…
Help readers find new blogs they’ll love…
…and pay for his entire college tuition at the same time!
http://www.rsshugger.com is his new site dedicated to doing exactly that.
For $20 for ten years, blog owners get their own profile on the site, including info about them, their blog and their RSS feeds.
If a blog owner helps spread the word about RSS Hugger

When you’re in business for yourself, WHO you know can sometimes be far more important than what you know.
Want to sell your products abroad?
Make new business alliances?
Outsource?
Find an investor?
http://www.foundercontact.com/ is a new site devoted to connecting you with other business owners, entrepreneurs and investors around the globe.
You can also broadcast your video message on their site.
And while they have 8000 actual business members and 3500 investors, their real traffic numbers are much higher.
When I visited the site, I was just one of 157 guests online at the time.
This is a good place to meet your next business contact who might open new doors of opportunity for you.

Have you noticed the PRICE TAGS on some of the Internet marketing launches this week?
Like:
John Reese’s – $2,495 webinar @ income.com
Frank Kern’s – $1,997 Mass Control product?
A ‘webinar’ for $2,495?
Absoluletly! They been doing that in other markets (Stock Trading, for example) for a long time, why not Internet marketing?
So, what’s behind this price trend?
Here’s my take:
1) The guru’s KNOW that there is a HUGE demand for Internet marketing information.
2) The higher price points will attract the highest quality customers.
3) The fewer customers the fewer customer service issues.
4) The customers paying the highest prices feel as if they are in an exclusive club and they like it that way.
What does this mean for the average guy or gal in Internet marketing?
The very first DAVE VALLIERES’ PRINCIPLE of HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE WHEN YOU’RE A TOTAL NEWBIE states:
“Do not do as they say, DO as they DO.”
Watch the people who are making big money online and get on their email lists, read their blogs and watch them like a hawk.
“WATCHING WHAT THEY DO” is how you will learn how to transform your online business
