How To Use QR Codes in Online Marketing

The Correct Way To Use QR Codes For Online Marketing

Avoid Three BIG Mistakes for Maximum Mobile Marketing Results

Did you know that over 50% of web visitors are using NOW using mobile devices, including smart phones?

Online marketing MUST now be optimized for mobile devices. More than half of ALL Internet searches are now made using mobile devices, including “smart phones”!

It is NO LONGER sufficient to just have a website. Your website MUST be configured to take advantage of this mobile traffic.

Following are THREE essential concepts that MUST be included in ALL of your marketing efforts:

 

Number 1. Do NOT advertise the home page of your website.

 

Your web visitors are EXTREMELY impatient. Internet “surfers” have attention spans measured in ONLY seconds!

The days are GONE when it is sufficient to advertise a product or service and include your website home page web address. IF ad viewers take EXTRA effort and actually visit your website, they DO NOT want to navigate from page to page looking for specific information on the ONE product (or service) that interests them.

In other words, web visitors are TURNED OFF by fancy landing pages with auto run videos, flash graphics, and dazzling images of models using your products. In fact, most large graphics and animations are NOT even visible on smart phone browsers! These fancy visuals are DESIGNED for desktop computers.

(Did you know that super fast “4G” mobile Internet is ONLY ONE-FOURTH as fast as old-fashioned dial-up connections?)

To repeat: do NOT advertise the home page of your website. Instead, display a link to a SPECIFIC page on your website for the product advertised.

You need to be promoting specific products and services, NOT your company as a whole. People are interested in solving problems and NOT learning about your company history. So don’t send prospects who are interested in one specific product to your boring generic home page. Don’t force them to navigate multiple pages to find more information.

If you DON’T, you will lose over 50% of your visitors who want INSTANT access to information. You will also lose visitors who are unable to view the desired information with their mobile devices.
Remember – it MUCH easier for the visitor to click “BACK” and search for another source for similar products than click from page to page on your cumbersome website.

For example, a realtor should provide links to the specific listing for EACH property – NOT their personal home page.

Why force the interested prospect to navigate multiple pages when they are only interested in one product or service (or property listing, in this example.) You will just lose the visitor to a competitor that values their time!

Number 2. Do NOT print the home page of your website on flyers or brochures – or business cards or stationery.

 

Printed literature needs to link to one exact web page for your specialty (product or service.) A brochure for one product should include a link to the web page for the EXACT product.
Likewise, your business cards and stationery need to link directly to the “Contact Us” page of your website.

For the same reasons listed above, don’t force Internet visitors to take multiple steps to navigate from your business home page through multiple other pages to reach the ONE page that they are interested in.

If you offer multiple categories of products you MUST provide multiple links.
If you provide multiple services you MUST provide multiple links – or use multiple business cards for widely different specialties.
Unfortunately, these individual webpages are typically “sub-domains” on your website, which means that each web address is often long, hard to remember and even harder to type on a tiny phone screen. (For example, www.myrealeastatebusiness.com/listings/singlefamily/waterfront/htm…)

Number 3. Do NOT print email addresses or phone numbers.

 

You must NOT expect your customer to take any extra effort to contact you. Remember, more than half of web visitors are using mobile devices. They probably don’t have a pen and paper handy!

Don’t take a chance that the prospect will write down your phone number or email address incorrectly. Even worse, don’t expect them to type in long strings of characters into their phones. If they make a mistake and get just ONE number or letter wrong they will have their email or phone call rejected.

You need to make it VERY easy for the prospect to contact you. You may not get a second chance! If frustrated, your prospect will just contact another competitor – with a single click that is LOTS easier than searching for your correct email or phone number. Frustration equals a lost sale, and maybe negative reviews and Internet publicity.

You MUST make contacting you as easy (and fool-proof) as touching a button on their phone!

How can you accomplish all these goals? How can you avoid all these pitfalls?
The best and easiest way to do ALL of this is with QR codes – the little black and white graphics with embedded links.

1. Your prospect does not need to write down or type a complicated web address.
2. They don’t need to type your email address.
3. They don’t need to enter your contact info in their phones!

All they need to do is scan the QR code with their phone and they are connected directly to a specific page on your website. Or add your contact info to their phone. Or place a phone call by just tapping a button!

The Residual Income Opportunity For Everyone Who Hates Network Marketing

 

Welcome back! We are going to get right to the point…

 

But first it important to review one of the key faults of traditional network marketing opportunities, and that is the PRODUCTS!

 

As we previously discussed, the worst feature of network marketing is called “auto-ship”.

Auto-ship requires every independent representative to ALSO be a customer. You are REQUIRED to buy a certain amount of products – automatically billed and shipped to you – EVERY month.

Very few companies allow you to promote the product line without also being a paying customer. Network marketing is not the same as being an “outside sales rep” for a company. You are REQUIRED to buy and use all the products AND pay for the next shipment every month or you will not qualify for commissions.

In addition, if you want to move up to higher commission levels you are REQUIRED to buy more and more.

Even worse, your commissions are calculated on an artificial value called “business volume” that is often 20% to 30% less than the actual retail price. It is a fact that most companies short-change you by paying commissions on a sales number that is less than your true retail volume.

You usually start at about $100.00 in auto-ship product purchases per month. You will feel pressure to buy more and more, even if you are selling nothing and can’t use the products fast enough. You will put more pressure on friends and family, and eventually spam everyone on Facebook to try to sell something. And you need to keep recruiting more and more to fill the holes in your organization or downline or you won’t get paid this month.

 

But the fact remains that in every network marketing company, you are trying to get people to buy something new – often at a premium price. This is like always pushing a huge boulder uphill. It is hard, painful and ultimately not worth it.

All of this gives network marketing a deservedly bad name. So let’s eliminate ALL these negatives.

 

Here is how we are going to turn a negative into a POSITIVE. In our company:

1. We are going to ONLY offer our products to people who are already buying. They don’t need to do anything different.

2. We are going to ONLY offer our products to people who are spending MORE than our products cost. We will save them money.

3. In addition, we are going to offer products that generate income. That means our customers will happily use our products month after month, year after year. Stopping our product buys will cut off their income streams. And, of course, this means that you get paid every month, year after year, for the work you did just ONCE!

4. We are going to pay you for referring others who are also looking for a residual income opportunity. There are no monthly quotas. No purchase requirements. No “breakage” because of unbalanced downline legs, etc. Instead, you get paid an immediate bonus, and then you get paid a recurring, residual monthly commission on THEIR sales volume for life!

How can we do all this? Sound too good to be true?

It’s true! And the reason ALL of this is possible is because we DON”T sell consumer products – we sell to businesses, also called business-to-business or B2B

Businesses have a built-in profit motive. (I admit that while all businesses are prospects, all business owners aren’t tech savvy. Sadly, some business OWNERS are not sharp business MANAGERS…)

Secondly, almost every business – regardless of what kind of business – is already spending money on marketing and advertising. Some of this money is spent on their website. But most websites are like billboards in the desert that no one will ever see.

Everyone knows how to search the web using Google. But 99.5% of businesses do not have a website that is optimized to take advantage of Google search requirements.

a. They don’t know, or haven’t taken the time to optimize their website for the terms their prospective customers type into Google.
b. If they search Google, their company’s website doesn’t appear on the first page of the results.

 

People are searching Google and wanting to buy. But their website is invisible. We fix this! We GUARANTEE FIRST PAGE placement in the organic search results for the keywords they specify.

Help Businesses Work WITH Google!

* And NO ONE does what we do for the same low price. Our price is FAR LESS than what they are currently spending on Yellow Pages advertising, pay-per-click, or other web services. We GUARANTEE FIRST PAGE placement in Google – and that is over 90% of the search market and is making most other advertising obsolete and a complete waste.

Even better, search engine optimization (SEO) is an ongoing process. This is a monthly subscription service that the customer NEEDS to continue – and that means you get paid Residual Income EVERY month!

** We also limit this service to ONE business per category per ZIP code. This means you have all the businesses in that sector competing to see who will receive our exclusive, guaranteed local SEO program.

*** If the business is one of the few that doesn’t yet have a website, we will build a simple one-page website and place THAT on the first page of Google!

Next, at least 50% of websites are not optimized for viewing and usage on mobile devices including tablets and smart phones. This is a HUGE issue because starting in 2013 the number of Google searches from mobile devices EXCEEDED searches from computers for the first time – and this proportion is growing beyond 50% rapidly.

Most websites appear on smart phones as a miniature version of the desktop version. You have to “pinch and squeeze” to read the text and view the graphics. Videos don’t play. Hyperlinks don’t work. Directions are unreadable. Phone calls to the business are not possible.

When people do a search and then select a result, if the website doesn’t load quickly and isn’t visible from their phone, they click away in a few seconds. This is a disaster for businesses because mobile searches are followed by either a visit or a phone call – assuming that the website is mobile-friendly.

We fix this, too! Without changing a word or a single image on the customer’s website, we create a mobile version that is detected if the search originates from a mobile device – automatically. Images are resized, and the text font is increased with fewer words per line. The viewer only needs to scroll down, not side to side. Links are converted to buttons.

Before Mobile optimization

After Mobile optimization

 

 * This is a low, one-time charge for the customer. Just one lost sale will pay for this mobile website optimization FOREVER! And every future update to the customer’s desktop website will automatically be reflected in the mobile version.

But we don’t stop there. We also create customer mobile “apps” for the customer. This is essentially a stand-alone, mini-mobile website that the customer can use for special promotions, loyalty programs, VIP clubs, etc.

Everyone wants exclusive offers. Businesses give these apps to their customers. Customers download these to their phones and then receive “insider” special offers. The app allows the customer to tap for directions, tap to call, tap to view the latest specials, etc.

With the mobile app, the business is also provided with UNLIMITED free access to our text messaging service. They can send (FREE in the U.S.) text messages to their entire base of customers daily, if they choose, with coupons, specials, and new product offers. And you know that text messages get opened right away – typically within five minutes or less. This blows away direct mail and even email!

Local Marketing Phone Apps

Customers and website visitors download these apps simply by viewing a QR code provided to the business. There is a second QR code to register for the special offers – and opt-in to the text messages.

But QR codes can be used for many other marketing efforts. So we provide our customers with unlimited free QR codes for any website page or link.

 

Unlimited FREE QR Codes

Finally, most business owners have enough to do with daily operations. They not only don’t have time to mess with SEO, they can’t be wasting time on Facebook – even though Facebook is where their customers hang out.

So we also offer a Facebook Management service. Our software scours the web for articles and videos related to their business niche. Then it makes up to 10 posts per day to their Facebook page to keep their audience engaged. Like all marketing, Facebook helps build familiarity and trust, and that leads to increased sales. When we increase sales, we create a very satisfied and loyal customer!

Facebook Page Management

 * Like SEO, Facebook Management is an ongoing process. This requires a monthly subscription, meaning you also get paid residual income EVERY month!

 

I hope you agree that you could generate a sizable income promoting any ONE of these services. After all, you have NO territory restrictions – nationwide (and even into Canada). But when you can offer a business a whole menu of profit-generating services and products you have an unlimited income potential! And most of your income comes from residual commissions, some on sales completed years ago.

There are other ways we are paid, but that’s enough for now. And we haven’t even discussed the referral bonuses that are paid if and when you introduce others to this opportunity – because there is room for everyone, even in the same town!

Have questions? Add a comment and I will contact you to answer your questions.

I am a real person and I will be happy to call you back. I sell these same services. I use the company’s resources for marketing, plus I have developed many more that are based on over 30 years of sales experience. I can train you and help you get started fast, if that’s what you want. Or you can build this business slowly. No pressure.

Your next steps:

1. Follow this link to the company website with more details about the independent rep opportunity, and the residual income compensation plan. Don’t get bogged down. You already know the key points. Go to http://www.randyreek.biz

2. While you are on the website, go back to the Home screen and then look through the other tabs as if you are a prospective customer. See my name at the top of the page. When you become a rep, you will get this same website – and YOUR NAME will be at the top of every page. (If you join as a Founder, this marketing tool is free to you for LIFE! Otherwise, it costs $29.95 for monthly maintenance and updates, which is a necessary business expense. All reps also get a FREE mobile app and unlimited QR codes).

3. After you have looked at all the pages, give me a call. I won’t push you – I will wait for you to call me if you are interested. I have a business to run, too. I only carve out time to work with new reps that show some initiative. I will answer all your questions and help you decide which level (IR, SIR or Founder) makes sense for you. (You can always upgrade later, if you wish. But I may be able to keep you from making any mistakes upfront).

#1 Residual Income Opportunity For Everyone Who Hates MLM

Six Reasons To Run Away From Network Marketing – And A Very Profitable Alternative
You will never get rich working for someone else!

Your employer “buys you” at wholesale and “sells you” at retail. After paying you and all the other operating expenses, he hopes to have a little profit left over…

So why not start your own business? Well, that’s really expensive and often complicated and slow. Many, many people have invested in expensive franchises to escape the corporate world. But most soon discover that they have spent thousands (often HUNDREDS of thousands) and only bought themselves a new JOB. Many end up making less and the failure rate is very high, costing the franchisees everything.

Business to Business Sales

Network marketing is a concept that has promised to level the playing field.

In networking, you earn a commission on what you sell plus an override commission on the sales of the new reps that you “sponsor”. This is the double promise of direct sales commission income and residual income from the efforts of others. Plus, these residual commissions can accumulate from sales reps many levels deep, and this is why network marketing is also accurately called multi-level marketing (or MLM). Anyone can join a network marketing company and let the company take care of the operational details like product production and labeling, order processing, product shipping, accounting, and commission payments.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, reality doesn’t often match with the promises of network marketing.

First, nobody gets paid until someone sells something! Despite the claim, “You don’t have to sell anything, just share the products,” selling is REQUIRED! You NEED to convince people to STOP buying what they are now getting from WalMart, Target, or Amazon and buy from YOU. Or you need to convince people to START buying something in addition to what they are now buying

In truth, you need to do some HARD SELLING to get people to change their buying habits. In addition, you NEED to sell others on the opportunity to also spend money to do the same thing and become sales reps, too.

Network marketing has been correctly called the SALES BUSINESS for people with no SALES or BUSINESS experience. Is it any wonder that most people in MLM never make a dime, and ruin their relationships with friends and neighbors?

Other problems with most MLM opportunities lie deep in the details. Look carefully at the “compensation plan” of your chosen company. Beware of these gotcha’s:

1. Having to recruit a number of people BEFORE you qualify for any commissions. This may also be seen as having to “pass up” the first few sales to your sponsor, or every other sale, etc. In either case, you don’t get paid for everything you do.

2. Having to achieve and maintain a certain volume of sales before you qualify for commissions. Miss your quota and you earn nothing. And since the reps you recruit and the customers that you accumulate are continually cancelling, you need to fill these slots first to get paid every month. Only a few “super-salesmen” can sustain this constant sales pressure, and even these don’t succeed because they never create any depth in their downline.

3. Having a limit on how many people you can sponsor. This is described as “width”. Some companies force “break-aways” or other methods to push recruits to lower commission levels. If you have any limits your earning potential is also limited.

4. Being required to build a downline with a number of “legs”. In other words, any diagram with right, left, center, etc. positions for the reps you sponsor and the reps that they sponsor. The ONLY reason for these legs is that most companies require that you balance these legs – or they only pay commissions on the sales of the SMALLER leg. This means that only get paid on less than half of your sales that month (even if the sales volume of the other leg gets carried over sometime into the future).

5. Having to increase sales and the numbers of recruits in order to move up in the commission payout scheme. Obviously, the first in are buoyed by everyone that joins after them. These are the “gurus” that are featured on stage at the glitzy events you are forced to pay to attend. They have achieved their success largely on the efforts of wannabees way down the line. In reality, it is next to impossible to catch them much less pass them. Most people never make it past the second or third level in any organization. Actually, as many as 90% of people will quit without making any money or even making it past the second level.

Just like in a casino, the “house” always wins as long as people are playing.

Do you also understand why network marketing “gurus” are continually jumping to new companies, just so they can start the recruiting process (and bonus payments) over again with a new crop of suckers?

 

6. But the worst feature of network marketing is called “auto-ship”. This requires every independent representative to ALSO be a customer. You are REQUIRED to buy a certain amount of products – automatically billed and shipped to you – EVERY month. (Very few companies allow you to promote the product line without also being a paying customer). 

You better find a way to use all the products and pay for the next shipment every month or you will not qualify for commissions. In addition, to move up to higher commission levels you are REQUIRED to buy more and more. Even worse, commissions are calculated on an artificial value called “business volume” that is often 20% to 30% less than the actual retail price you paid. (This is just another way the company short-changes you on the sales you make.)

Of course, you are encouraged to buy and use ALL the products of the company. The auto-ship is typically about $100.00 per month of products. But you could easily buy hundreds of dollars per month. Now if your products are so beneficial, why wouldn’t you want everyone in your family to participate. Why should only one person be healthy, happy, trim and youthful? So now a family of four needs to spend at least $400.00 per month. Where does this money come from if you aren’t earning commissions? How long will you keep this up?

For all the reasons above, most people quit their MLM within 90 days, often less.

What’s worse, most blame the company or the product or their sponsor – instead of the built-in MLM deficiencies. They look for a new pre-launch opportunity, or they are recruited by their prior sponsor who has already jumped to a new life raft…

Sound familiar? Are you squirming as you read this? If you are like me, you have been unsuccessful in network marketing in the past despite expensive and sincere efforts. Ready for a change? Ready for a residual income opportunity that has NONE of the structural defects of traditional network marketing companies?

Learn how to get paid four (or five or six!) ways, including weekly bonuses for referring new reps plus residual commissions on their sales – for life with NO quotas, forced matrix, or legs to balance.
