24 Streams of Extra Income, part 1

In this series of articles, we’re going to give you some ideas about how to squeeze extra income out of the products that you’re already selling. Hopefully you’ll gain a few ah-ha ideas out of these.

So let’s start…

1. Offer an Order-Form Upsell

One of the first places you can pull in extra money is right there on the order form. All you have to do is promote a related product, which can be your own product or an affiliate offer.

For example, if you’re selling a weight-loss signature product, then you might offer a set of exercise videos and low-calorie cookbooks as an upsell. Better yet, offer a discount on this upsell that’s ONLY available right there on the order form. So if the customer doesn’t purchase the offer now but they want it later, they’ll have to pay more money.

Here are tips for maximizing this strategy…

The Real Truth About the Law of Reciprocity

Hello, Jason Fladlien here from DailySeminar.com, and today I’m going to discuss with you the law of reciprocity.  It is one of the laws of psychological influence of persuasion.

It really is cool because it can get people to do things that are in their best interest and actually increase their satisfaction based on at least the scientific studies and motivate them to take action on your offers and purchase them.

And so I’ll tell you why you want to use the law of reciprocity with an example here.  I call this the Coke experiment.  This was a psychology experiment done in the 60s or 70s, I think, in Cornell. And basically it worked like this:

The subject — he had to rate the quality of paintings.  So the subject came in — the test subject in this case — he thought he was rating art appreciation.  He thought he was part of an art appreciation study, when really he didn’t understand he was actually part of a study on the law of reciprocity and how it affects people and their decisions they make.

And so supposedly the subject, he comes in to rate the quality of the paintings which is inconsequential to the study.  And there’s an assistant to the study of the professor performing the experiment, who’s posing as a fellow subject so there’s two subjects at a time.  One of them’s the actual subject, and one is really the assistant who’s trained to do certain things to see how the subject responds.
