Hi, I’m Tom Antion. I sell tons of stuff on the Internet. I know you're here because
you're looking for some type of free shopping cart solution. Well, I'm here to tell you
that that’s probably not a good idea.
Let me give you a little bit about my background so you know I’m just not some Joe Schmoe
blowing smoke at you. I had some of the highest level trainers on the Internet. Corey Rudl
was pretty much the grandfather of Internet marketing for small business. John Reese sold
$1 million in 18 hours. These were my teachers. And I also teach people to make lots of money
on the Internet after I started making money on the Internet. So I'm not one of these young
whippersnappers that’s just blowing smoke at you.
I want to tell you about free shopping carts and why it is probably not a good idea for
you. Number one, they require installation by a team of geeks on a web server and they
normally only allow you to have one website running through them while top Internet marketers
don’t survive on one website anymore. They use websites that are inexpensive, hosted
on many different servers around the country running through one eCommerce solution. So
you can have cheap websites selling all kinds of products and services and run them through
one good shopping cart system. Now, you can’t do this with the free one. So that's one bad
thing.
Another thing is that they don't really have the tools that you need to be successful.
A lot of people say, “When I make money then I’ll get the tools.” Well, that is
like saying, “I think I will rent myself out as a charter pilot and then get my pilot’s
license after I get some business.” It is backwards; it doesn’t make sense.
Let me give you an idea of some of the tools you need. Number one is do you have an upsell
module? An upsell module usually makes you between 20% and 50% more on every promotion
you do. I guarantee you the free ones don't have this. Auto responders; this takes care
of your customer service and selling things to people after the sale. Your free ones probably
don't have this. Do you have Email broadcast. Can you personalize the Email? Do you have
tell-a-friend scripts? Do you have all of these kinds of things that really you need
to be successful? The free places don't tell you this. They just want to give it to you
to get your hosting or your merchant account business. They don't tell you that these free
shopping carts are -- I kind of compare them to a dumb cashier at a convenience store.
They sit there with a glazed look on their face and if you’re lucky, you get the right
change. That’s what these free ones are all about. Any one promotion with a good shopping
cart system will pay for it for maybe a couple of years. So don’t be sucked into the free
shopping cart stuff.
If you want to see more about this, I use www.KickstartCart.com. You see it at the bottom
of the screen here. But I want you to go to another place that brings up another good
tip on shopping carts. Go to www.HowToUseAShoppingCart.com/kickstart. You will also see that on the screen right
now. This is a site where you can make money just referring the cart. Not only will you
use it to make money, but you get to use it for free after you recommend it to a few people.
So this is another reason why you shouldn’t have a free piece of junk. This can actually
be a big revenue source for you. At the time of this recording, I have made three quarters
of a million dollars just referring the cart.
So get it out of your mind - free shopping cart. Get a good one that will make money
for you and that you can refer and make money just by referring it. Check out www.KickstartCart.com
and www.HowToUseAShoppingCart.com/kickstart and I don’t think you’ll want a free shopping
cart after that.
