Should You or Shouldn't You?
Have you been satisfied with the returns on your low-dollar products you've been offering? Have you ever considered marketing high ticket items? Here's Why You Should
Stop the Spinning; I Want to Get Off
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
You know the feeling. All you have to do is remember back to the last time you visited a theme park, amusement park or local carnival. You'd only eaten one corn dog, one smoked turkey leg and one cotton candy. Then you decided to ride a fast spinning ride. Was it the Tilt-a-Whirl? The Swing Around? Or maybe the Top Spin. Omigosh! Spinning and spinning round and round. You thought the ride would never end.Remember how long it took for your knees to stop buckling? For the world to stop spinning? For your stomach to stop churning? Or did it? Perhaps it simply refused to hold down what you'd so kindly fed it forty-five minutes earlier. So how long did it take you to find the nearest... Well, let's don't go there.
My point is, this is the same feeling that people tell me they get when searching online for ways to earn an income. It's the endless, often pointless, more often productive-less going-around-in-circles searching and searching. That nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Is this program the right one? No, maybe this is the right one! Well, what about this one over at this site - is it a scam? Could that product ever really sell? Do I have the marketing savvy to make this fly? Or will I be spending hours promoting it and ultimately it will bomb? Maybe I should just grab half a dozen programs and work them all at once. If one crashes, one of the others might come through.
Start Small? Says Who?
Small is For Ants
Is this how you're choosing the online business you're hoping will make you wealthy? If so, you may want to think about devising a better plan.First of all, as a mentor, I tell people to decide early on what you are going to promote. Do have your own product? Are you going with affiliate marketing? Is Ebay your thing? What about direct sales? Decide your direction as soon as possible.
But just as important, and perhaps even more important, are you going to deal in peanuts - $20 to $75 products? Or are you going after the high ticket items?
"Well," you might be saying, "it's best to start small and work up, isn't it? Plus the fact that I'm really an internet marking newbie. What would I know about marketing high-dollar items?"
Let's take first things first. Is it really best to start small? If so, why so? Small might be good in some instances - like if you're an ant and you want to go home. But is dealing with smaller-priced products the best way to begin your online business?
Bad Math!
Can You Say Exponential?
Let's do the math. You have a product that sells for $20 each. You've worked darn hard to set up your marketing system. After months of work you're finally selling about ten a week. You're thrilled. Wow! Two hundred extra bucks in your pocket.I'm not knocking that. In fact, I applaud your diligence and your hard work. But consider this. What if from the very outset, you had been marketing a high ticket product or service priced at $1,000? Hey, let's get really daring and say it's a $3,000 product.
You do the same amount of marketing. You apply the same marketing principles. You're learning the same skills. You grow your business with the same amount of diligence and perseverance, and now you're up to (let's be conservative) five sales a week. Now instead of earning $200 a week, you are earning $15,000 a week. Whoa! Now that's a big difference!
Good marketing will never override bad math. And in my opinion, hanging around the smaller-priced products and spending all your time, attention and energy marketing them is just bad math.
Change Your Mind; Change Your Life
How Many Zeroes Does It Take To Scare You?
Now ask yourself a serious question, and be brutally honest. Are you starting out with the $20 products simply because you're more comfortable in that price range?Think about it. If you're so strapped for cash that you're barely making it from paycheck to paycheck, it may be difficult for you to imagine that there are people out there willing to plunk down $3,000 for a product or service. But I assure you, they are out there.
What this means is that you will need to change your mindset. Set your sites higher. How many zeroes does it take to scare you?
What I am about to share with you will change your mindset, change your outlook and change your life.

High Ticket Items AND a System
All the Help You'll Ever Need
Not only can you begin with high ticket products, but you can latch onto a system that will walk you through the most successful marketing techniques without having to learn them from scratch all by yourself. You can finally get off that dizzying Tilt-a-Whirl of chasing other businesses, and clear your fogged mind.Several years ago, internet marketer, Jay Kubassek, and several of his top producers decided to create a business that addressed the concerns of those who have little or no online marketing skills. He then created a clear path to success by putting systems in place that help people automatically clear the hurdles in front of them.
This idea led Jay to the create Carbon Copy Pro, an internet marketing "business in a box" that gives average people the marketing power of an internet powerhouse. This product enables any online newbie to go toe-to-toe with veteran networkers and puts them in a position to earn a six-figure income without any background knowledge or prior marketing experience.
And guess what? They deal ONLY in high ticket products and services.
Here's another quote from the co-founder of Carbon Copy Pro:
"Everything else out there requires the new marketer to go out, learn the techniques of marketing, of sales, and then identify an opportunity and give it their best shot," he adds. "You look at years of trial and error and long, frustrating learning curves. Carbon Copy Pro is different in the sense that we do over 90 percent of the marketing and selling for you. The difficult stuff-selling, telling, explaining, closing, and recruiting-is done for you by trained professionals."
And did I mention CCPro ONLY promotes high ticket items?
Instead of spending your time and energy on twenty bucks a pop, with CCPro, you will be earning thousands at a pop. Now your income will grow exponentially greater with a snowball effect. And CCPro will work with you every step of the way.
