What if You’re NOT There Yet?
What if You’re NOT There Yet?
• Simple – TRY AGAIN• Go back to the beginning• ALWAYS about the product and the audience• Study the Ultra Sales Success Quadrant!• TEST until you find a winner!!• This works time and time and time again• SO…it WILL work for you – even if not the first
few times you try• ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WHO IS SUCCESSFUL
HAS BEEN RIGHT HERE
Where to go From Here
Get the MOST Out of Ultra!
• Do NOT rest• FOLLOW the routine• People are achieving as much as 300k per year in
profits with JUST one site and following the EXACT routine and plan
• Do NOT settle for less• Do this before moving on• Outsourcing!!!• I would say 2-3 sites is expansion enough – 100-
500k in profit, then expand in other ways
Evaluate Moving Fulfillment
• Can you cut down on product costs by buying in bulk?
• Can you get a US supplier?
• Can you increase customer satisfaction with faster shipping?
• Use Amazon FBA or any other fulfillment center or roll your own
Expand to White Label
• Built in market intelligence
• Built in promotional resource – R. had over 3k names on his email list in SHORT order!
• All models have pros and cons
• Key is diversification
• Cross selling
• etc
Expand to Information Products
• Built in market intelligence
• Built in marketing channel with FB likes and email addresses
• Have to have a passion here
• OR…get partners
Expand to Affiliate Marketing

• Leverage 5-10x per year
• ”free” money from the resource you’re already building
Expand Traffic Sources
