Create a Jump in Sales as You Go Into 2011

Jumping into the fray of the first month of the new year and trying to make money at it is usually a tough task.
There is a way to get a good start, as long as you put some thought and planning into it.

The "normal" January is a time when people has less to spend, due to possible overspending during the holidays.  That lack of funds can deter the average marketer, but you are not average, are you?

Here are a few ideas of things you can easily do to get and keep some cash flow going in your online business during this "slow" month:


1.  Go through your desktop files to locate any Private Label Rights or Master Resale Rights products that are idle and collecting virtual dust.  Brainstorm how you could take some of that material and either create a unique product from it, or bundle it for a "dime sale" type of promotion.  As long as you have a subscriber list and keep the pricing and value inline with your list's financial perspective, you will make sales and cash flow--while your fellow marketers are wringing their hands complaining how "no one has any money".
2.  Create at least one little 3-5 page e-book that tutors/teaches a specific  technique or solves a very specific issue.  Price the creation at $2.  Anyone on your list can afford that---and there's no telling how many you can sell.  Post the link in your social sites, mention it in your blog postings and you will create a cash flow---you won't get rich, but you will be able to pay the expenses of running your online business with this tactic.
3.  Go through your past customer lists---anyone who has purchased from you over the last year----and create a product bundle just for your past customers.  The bundle could be PLR, MRR, or anything you have that can quickly and easily be set up.  Contact all your past customer by email, then make your offer.  People who have purchased from you previously are more apt to buy from you again---so here is a great way to show them how much they are appreciated by having a "customers only" promotion.

Those are just 3 ideas---if you put your brain to it, you will come up with more.
January doesn't have to be a "slow" month.  Put some thought into your mission and you can make things happen!
