		<description>A Risk Free Upsell allows you to offer your customer, that have purchased from you, the ability to purchase more products from you. This is great because you can catch them in the buying mode. Typically upsells can convert at a rate between 10-15 percent</description>

		<description>LOL quite right Rachel, I'll edit it a bit. I used to write like that when I started the Blog and I think this is one that I moved as &lt;a href="http://www.directsaleswebmarketing.com/restructuring-blog-articles/" rel="nofollow"&gt;described here&lt;/a&gt;.

I'll try to catch the rest. :-)

		<description>More great information Dennis. 

By the way, I wouldn't bother apologizing for the long posts. Those that recognize it as good info don't mind. And those that don't won't make it to the end anyway.

		<description>Hey Mark,

In pure IM (digital downloads, etc) the pre-sell is much more important then the up-sell, if I had to choose one.

There really isn't pure up-selling in IM as far as I can see...you have the OTO's and possibly piggy-backing affiliate offers that compliment each other, but in my opinion that's not really the same.

In DS (direct sales) however, there is limitless opportunities. That's who my primary target readers are.

I'm not up-selling anything here. it's purely informational with normal IM sales methods to make money (affiliates, advertisements, etc).

THIS blog is the headliner for a network I'm creating as I described somewhat here...

http://www.directsaleswebmarketing.com/a-huge-undertaking-is-underway/

DennisEdell.com (once it's finished), will be the OVERALL hub site. In itself, it will be my personal/business blog AND link out to this network I'm devising.

If i do this just right (as I have it in my head), DE.com will be the only one i will need to advertise...effectively advertising them all at the same time :-)

That's the gist anyway...so be sure to follow along ;)

The eBook is a fantastic idea. Make it a viral freebie, possibly brandable, with all your links, and you got a winner! (Of course it has to be interesting too :-))

I like Sphinn. You just need to be sure to place each article in the correct category and I've been told a pic/logo/avatar thingy next to you helps greatly in being noticed and re-sphunn.

Thanks for the Stumble! I haven't stumbled yet due to time and toolbar issues, but I know I'm waaaaay behind lol.

I don't like Digg. far too much time wasting drama to deal with when there are so many other sites to choose from.....from what I read and understand, Digg may be on its way out if they don't clean up some things.</description>

		<description>Hey Dennis. I need to work on my upsell. Heck, I need to work on my pre-sell, as well. 

So, what are you upselling from this blog? The banner says it's a small branch of dennisedell.com, but it looks like directsaleswebmarketing is now your main (public) project?

We need to figure out our business model - we've dabbled in a few areas, but I think we need to get more focused. Then write an (e)book about our success. 

(By the way, how do you like sphinn? We stumbled your post, and we're experimenting with digg, but we haven't really gotten into sphinning yet. Any ideas?)

		<description>So true so true. As long as it's done in an "up-front, above board" manner.

This is also one area where Internet marketing and Direct Sales can differ greatly. 

In Direct Sales, the up-sell is usually a product or 2 directly related to the sale product, ie:candle/candle holder.

In Internet marketing, probably the biggest up-sell technique is the "OTO" (one-time offer), shown to you on the page (or 3) after purchase.

It has become way over-used and in a lot of cases, totally silly.....50 products for 10 bucks, grab it now! whether they have anything to do with the original sale product or not LOL.</description>
