How to Make Back-End & Residual Commissions Effortlessly!


What is residual income? Well residual income is the money that an independent contractor or affiliate marketer gets to pocket without effort or doing any work. It surely doesn’t get better than this. Selling back-end products will allow for you to be paid for work that you have to do a number of times. In essence, the bigger picture is for you to work smarter and not harder here.

So you may ask, what are the back-end products? This will be the service or product that you will present to your current customers/clientele. These will be those people that have purchased a front-end aka lead product from you at one point. The most successful of online marketers make the bulk of their money by selling their customers/clientele the second, third, etc. products than they did on that first product. What is the reason for this? Well, if the person has bought something from you in the past, they will be more prone to purchase from you again.

You want to take focus from short-term strategies like the “take the money and run” strategy and use approaches like back-end offers because they are not as in use in the internet world. I’m sure you have seen a fair share of the “take the money and run” websites all over the internet. Their focal point is to get tons of traffic and then sell the visitor an extremely costly product that does not deliver what it is said to deliver. This may allow money to be made in the short run but that will be their only sale to that particular customer. This will then turn into the person having to spend a ton of money on more advertising to try and get more visitors to bamboozle.

The sites that you see that are more successful focus mainly on creating and maintain a solid relationship with the customer. Your main goal is to see to it that your customer is exceptionally satisfied and not just somewhat satisfied. Your customers will be more apt to trust you if you deliver what you say you are going to deliver to them. You can sell them virtually anything if you have their trust. So then whenever you send them an email that will offer them something else you think they may be interested in, they will immediately purchase from you because they now trust in you. In the marketing and sales world, trust is everything.

Much Success,

The 10 Most Stressful Jobs of 2012


Most Stressful Jobs of 2012
Stress. We’ve all experienced it in our working lives. It’s that pressure we feel in response to particular situations, whether real or imagined.
Though our response to stress is an inherent part of our biology and was a key factor to our ancestors’ survival in the wild, we rarely have to worry about being eaten alive these days. The stress we encounter at work is very different and is felt more consistently.
“One of the differences between us and our ancestors is that we can mentally and emotionally live as if the tiger never goes away. It can lead to a nervous system that’s in a near-constant state of arousal,” says Karen Sothers, a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) expert in San Diego. “This is one of the reasons why mediatation is essential because it teaches us to regulate our thoughts and emotions so we can skillfully respond to challenges.”
According to a recent study commissioned by the American Psychological Association, more than one-third (36%) of all workers say they typically feel tense or stressed out during their workdays, with 20% reporting that their average daily level of stress is an 8, 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale.
Sothers is not surprised that most workers feel stressed. She points out that “the level of uncertainty in the workplace increases people’s stress levels exponentially.”
Not all jobs are created equal when determining their level of stress, though. There are many environmental factors that can’t be compared, such as a soldier guarding a base, a police officer chasing a mugger or a firefighter running into a burning building. In our Jobs Rated study, all three professions rank in the top 10 of the nation’s most stressful jobs.
"Being in the military is physically and mentally demanding, and it can be very stressful, especially if you're in combat." says Jack, an enlisted military soldier whose real name is withheld for security reasons. "While being in the military does have its stresses, there are also a few benefits. We have a stable pay check and health care benefits, plus 30 days of paid vacation a year to help combat the stress."
Of course, stress is in the mind of the beholder. “Compared to a soldier, police officer or fireman, there’s no way my job is as stressful,” says Stratis Zervos, an award-winning photojournalist. “My job is not stressful on a day-to-day basis. It can be for an individual story, depending upon the circumstances and the subject you’re shooting, but, for the most part the job isn’t as stressful as other jobs. It is exciting and fun to go to every day!”
