Easy Profit Increase

Want to increase your profits by 20% to 50% today?

It’s easy.

Simply add an offer to the thank you page of anything you give away or sell.

When someone subscribes to your list, offer something on the thank you page. You could even set it up as a one time offer or limited time offer.

The easiest method for limited offers is through setting cookies although that method most definitely isn’t perfect as some people delete cookies. See here for a simple free script… You can also find more advanced scripts out there that work off IP addresses and databases.

When they buy any of your products, your thank you page is prime real estate for the next offer.

Every thank you page should have an offer for another related item.

What happens after they buy the next item? It’s another thank you page with an offer.

What if you don’t have any other related products? That’s simple. Find someone who does…and offer their product on your thank you page. If you have a large number of sales coming through on your item you can easily setup a special joint venture with someone else to sell their product on your thank you page. If any of my products would be a good fit and you have a lot of sales coming through, I’m sure we could work something out.

If you’re just getting started in the market or your item isn’t producing a lot of sales, you can easily join an affiliate program. Write a recommendation for the product and post that to your thank you page along with your affiliate link.

You might say, “But I don’t want to be seen as a pushy salesperson!”

You could even do these thank you sales messages very gentle. For example, look at how gentle this one is after someone buys the Internet Lifestyle Retirement System: http://www.internetlifestylesystem.com/thankyou.html

All I do on that page is thank you for your order and then say, “You may also be interested in Blogging Mastery – setting up and profiting from your own blog…”

Talk about being gentle! That’s much more gentle than the majority of my thank you pages, but it is still convincing 18% of customers to buy the next product (being more aggressive on some of my other sites has higher rates).

You might say to me, “Terry, this is all just too simple. I was expecting a deep secret.”

Often it’s the basics we end up forgetting. While writing this post I reprimanded myself for forgetting this on several of my products! And if I’m forgetting to do it at times, it’s pretty likely many of my readers are as well.

    Terry-love you blog and the advice you give.

    Anyone who is afraid to ask someone to buy needs to reevaluate their business approach. If you are in business to add value to your customer you are doing them a favor by offering them something else to buy.

    You know Terry, this gave me a great idea which might increase my sales.

    I have an email opt in form on my website that people can subscribe to it. My “THANK YOU” page is all about telling the person that I am thanking them personally for subscribing to my email newletter.

    The page really tells a person stuff like:
    _______________
    “However, there is a chance that you won’t get these emails from us!

    According to a recent Time Magazine article, over 70% of all email sent is deleted at the server by some ISPs. They don’t even give you a choice but there are things you can do!

    To ensure that you get your newsletter, we need for you to do this right away:

    1) Please add the following to your email address book
    _____________”

    I need to put in some offers there to see if this really would work. I think that it will.

    This is great info Terry and I am so happy to be a part of your newsletter.

    All this info that you are giving out is very valueable to me and hopefully others.

    Thanks,

    Tal

    -This post is for Neil McPherson-

    It’s actually pretty simple Neil. Terry is just saying that whenever you have a Thank-You page, putting in an advertisement about another one of your related products can increase your amount of sales.

    For example…

    Let’s say that I have an e-book that I’m selling, and so I create a capture/squeeze page, and a thank you page that just said,

    “Thanks for your purchase, you can download your E-book here.”

    If someone were to buy the product, they would just be sent to a thank-you page that just says thanks.

    But if you were to insert an advertisement about another one of your products, than your customer will read that as well.

    So instead of your customers seeing a page that says,

    “Thanks for your purchase, you download your E-book here.”

    They’ll see one that says-

    “Thanks for your purchase, you can download your E-book here.

    Before you leave this page, I’m offering a special promotion on one of my products called…”

    Now you’ll be marketing on your thank-you page as well.

    It’s prime marketing space, and can help pick up some extra income from your customers and start building a back-end income.

    I’ve been using the same method for years, and it does work. Thanks for putting the information out there Terry!

    Great quick tip to get extra money. You already have your visitor doing, something… subscribing. Or, you customer has already bought something. So, to get them to take one extra step and buy something or take you up on another high value offer is not that hard to do.

    I like to apply this and about 10 other tactics to free report give aways. Works great. Thanks for reminding me to keep up on these little but profitable trick… I sometimes forget when I get busy.

    I have posted on June 5th that I was going to give this a try. I was going to add some offers to my “Thank You For Subscribing” to my work at home newsletter page.

    I must add that my sales did go up somewhat and what Terry said did work for me. You should try it too.

    Terry, thanks a lot man.
