Maximizing your Credit Value

It’s a very safe bet that only about 3 ~ 5% of the people involved in Internet Marketing actually know how to do any effective selling.

The reason so few people make a small fortune on the internet is the very reason so many lose money. If everyone was making money, where would the money come from?

To make money you must stop being one of the people losing money. Quit spending more than you earn. You must “Stop Being a Victim”. You must become a seller instead of a buyer.

I’m not a great salesman. But I do sell ONE THING and I sell it well. I have built my entire business by focusing on selling that one thing. That one thing cost you a measly five bucks. (And there’s a good chance I’m not the one you bought it from.)

The TE Profits system is carefully built to ensure that you start out in PROFIT mode and stay there. The products have all been chosen to allow you to make money without spending more than you make.

You start with a $5 product that you pay for just one time and sell over, and over, and over again. That product itself was selected for two fundamental reasons. First, “Stop Being a Victim” helps you understand how to keep more money in your pocket by educating you on a variety of marketing gimmicks designed to take your money.

The excellent business model described in “Stacked Income” is the second reason. Stacking is what the $5 Franchise is based on, and “stacking” is how we increase your Credit Value without breaking the bank.

For an understanding of what I mean by “Credit Value” please see the post “Show Me the Money!”

OK… Let’s look at book sales.

You make $5 on each sale of your ebook. When you sell four ebooks, you’ve made $20… right?

That is correct if your Credit Value is based only on book sales. But your Credit Value is much higher if you have “funded” your adspace #1 lease.

You can expect that when you sell four books, one of your customers will also lease adspace #1 right away. In my experience, the numbers are better than that. Half of my book customers lease the adspace. Nearly all of the customers who use the TE Profits System soon lease the adspace.

Once you have funded adspace #1 for the one-time payment of $30 (either from sales of the book, or because you could afford to up front) and “passed up” your first lease to your sponsor, you could potentially earn $100 as a result of four book sales. However, you should expect to earn $40 to $60 from four book sales.

Because this is so important for you to understand, I’ll state it again like this…

If none of the four lease the adspace, you’ve earned just $20.

If one of the four leases the adpsace, you’ve earned $40.

If two of the four lease the adspace, you’ve earned $60.

It’s possible that ALL FOUR book sales result in an adspace lease and you would have earned $100.

But as I mentioned, the typical initial response is one or two out of four. As a result of selling four books, you can expect to earn $40 to $60.

So simply by leasing your adspace and fulfilling your lease with one “pass up”, you have doubled or tripled your Credit Value.

What happens after you lease an adspace? The person you leased it to pays you $20 one time, PLUS their first lease. When they “pass up” their first lease, you receive another $20 payment to your account. How much surfing did you do to generate that $20? None. Your lease customer did the surfing and made the sale for you.

What happens when your new customer starts selling books using TrafficWave and the TE Profits system? You generate a personal sale of the autoresponder and earn another $17.95.

A book customer who leases the adspace and pays for their autoresponder earns you $5 plus $20 plus $17.95 plus another $20 when they lease their first adspace. How much did you make on that book sale? $62.95.

How much did it cost your customer? If they funded everything on day one, it would have cost them $5 for the book, $30 for the lease, and $17.95 for the autoresponder… or $52.95. The “pass up” lease did not come out of their pocket at all. It came as a result of their marketing.

At that point, if you are surfing (with effectiveness) on average an hour per day to generate leads and sell books, you should easily be earning more than $20 per hour for the time you spend surfing!

Note: Surfing “with effectiveness” refers to the rate at which you earn your traffic credits, or “Credit Rate”. We’ll be discussing your Credit Rate in another topic.

Keep in mind that if anyone needs to, they can fund ALL of the tools and their adspace lease with sales of the $5 ebooks! Work (surf) hard to quickly generate book sales. Then use that revenue to fund your lease.

But for anyone who can afford to fund their adspace #1 lease up front, I highly recommend it. Here’s why…

Funding the lease from book sales means you need to sell six books to earn the $30 for the lease. In the next four sales you are back in profit mode having earned another $20. By the time you have sold those ten books you have probably had 3 ~ 5 customers lease the adspace simply because they could afford to up front. Meaning you have missed out on roughly $80 in earnings by waiting to fund your lease.

The fact is that many people who purchase the book from you will readily fund the adspace lease and other tools on day one. So the faster you are able to fund those tools, the faster you will start earning more than just five bucks on a sale.

One last thought. If you are struggling financially and on a tight budget, do not spend your hard earned money on anything that is not part of your overall business plan. When you are just starting out, do NOT diversify. Please stop being a victim. Put your energy and focus into selling ONE THING and selling it well. Surf for traffic and leads, sell the book, lease the adspace and your business will grow from there.

In summary, your Credit Value is double or more by leasing your first adspace.

And that is still just the beginning…
