Viral Videos For List Building !

2009-07-06T19:14:00.000-07:00

All experience marketers know the old adage that “the money is in the list “.Network marketers have developed contact lists in many different ways over the years. Generally a sign up form is offered with a free giveaway. Someone simply fills out the form with a name and e-mail address to “opt in” to the autoresponder and the free giveaway is provided to them. In return for that, they generally understand that they have granted permission for whoever made the offer to follow up with other e-mails with other offers.

Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when software was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.

The Web 2.0 World
Of course the latest to trend in the network and internet marketing community is the Web 2.0 world of blogs, YouTube, Twitter and the like. The use of videos in various social networks in order to communicate and establish a following with the subscribers has become ubiquitous. The net result of all this is that seemingly the most effective way to communicate with potential subscribers, or even to acquire subscribers and customers these days is probably through the use of videos.

Videos have a number of advantages, including the ability to present yourself as a sincere and a knowledgeable person in a face-to-face way. A potential subscriber or customer is more likely to buy from someone they they feel like they know. Soconsequently, it’s almost imperative these days that you use the video medium in order to communicate with potential prospects to turn them into eventual customers.

The New Viral Video World

Interestingly, a new video software system to build a contact list and potentialcustomer list virally has been introduced. Internet guru Joel Therien, CEO ofKiosk.ws, is in the process of launching very easy to use video building software called Easy Video Producer that has the potential to be a very effective way of generating contacts in a viral manner. This system is unique because the software itself is being offered as the free giveaway for this video “tell-a-friend” system. Essentially, the system will offer you free and extraordinarily easy to use video generating software that builds and posts your personally produced video and information capture form on a website or blog. A contact management system is included with the free offer as well.

The viral concept is that you would then attract traffic to introduce yourself to the prospect in a more personal way, offering them the opportunity to opt in and use the same free software that you used to prepare the video. The prospect and new contact would in turn use his free new system to attract even more potential contacts for his list and yours as well.

As in the earlier e-mail systems, the originator of the viral distribution of the free software would have access to every subscriber in the levels below him. So, what is offered is a system that provides a free and very simple (even a cave man coulddo it) method of posting videos to the internet that have a specific purpose of giving away additional software in a viral manner to capture a fast growing network of contacts with whom you can continue to build a relationship.

The Issues I See

The problems with this system are not dissimilar from those in other earlier systems of using free giveaways to build a list. . You first must be able to get your video in front of an audience and in order for them to subscribe, and they in turn must have an audience to subscribe in order for the system to work effectively. It can probably be most effectively used by someone who already has a subscriber list and wants to expand it rapidly.Another potential negative is that the the new contacts you generate with this list, both directly and indirectly, are not yet buyers and it’s likely that many of them will have no interest in your particular marketing niche. Proper strategy of course is to build credibility over time through a series of value adding free offers that are designed to help categorize their interests. Only then should you move on to the stage of offering them the opportunity to buy your stuff.

This new easy video producer software system appears to offer a simple and easy, no cost way for the experienced, and particularly the relatively inexperienced non-technical networker to make effective use of videos for viral list building, and business promotion.

How To Choose The Best Online MLM Program

2009-05-21T02:46:00.000-07:00

Multi-level marketing (MLM) programs can promise amazing income streams for anyone who would decide to join their ranks. These MLM programs have become very popular earning opportunities in recent years, given the success they could share for their enrollees. With the advent of online MLM companies, the industry has flourished even further. Nowadays, countless people can earn through their MLM efforts from the comforts of their own homes.

But first thing’s first. To be able to make the most out of an online MLM campaign, you must first enroll with the right MLM program. Here are 7 tips to help you find the MLM program that would work best for you.

Determine the credibility of the online program you wish to join. Is it a reputable company with years of experience tucked under its belt? You wouldn’t want to work hard for an entity that would later on turn out to be a scam, right? Due diligence is the key. Do your research before signing up. All the information you need is right in front of you, and all you need to do is to turn the pages.

How sellable are the MLM program’s products? Indeed, you’d act as a representative of the program, and you’d be its direct agent. You could master and employ all the marketing tactics in the world, but if the program’s products are hardly sellable, you won’t be able to realize some profit from the same. You have to choose a program that sells proven products for a proven market.

How much is the selling point for the MLM program’s products? You would want a price range that is accessible for many people. Success with MLM programs does not merely depend on the number of sales you will be able to get, but also the number of recruits you’d be able to invite. The latter is more important for you, in the long run, as they’d become members of your down line from whom you could derive some residual income.

Do you believe in the MLM program’s products? Donald Trump said in his book, The Art Of The Deal, that you have to believe in your own products if you hope to sell them. Your belief in your own goods would show with in you will market the same. If your prospects would find you lacking in confidence with your products, then the deal is as good as dead. As an affiliate of the MLM program, the manufacturer’s products will be your products as well. If you wish to sell them efficiently, you’d have to believe in them from the get go.

How competitive is the market that the MLM program is catering to? A hungry market would be best for your MLM endeavors. It’s the law of supply and demand at work.

How deep is the tier system for the MLM program? Eventually, with some solid efforts invested, you’d be able to earn some residual income from the MLM program through the down line you will be able to establish. You could earn some commissions from the sales that the members of your down line would be able to effectuate. Usually, this goes down up to the third tier, meaning, you could earn from the sales generated by the members of the down line of the members of your down line. But the deeper the tier system is, the more profitable the MLM program can be for you.

How much is the commission rate being offered? Instinctively, you’d want to determine this before anything else. I’d suggest against it. Your commission rate should not be the sole factor that would aid your decision. An MLM program may offer astronomic commission rates, but if the other factors are non-existent (i.e. highly sellable products, a hungry market, etc.), you won’t be able to realize your profits.

A great online MLM program would score favorably in all of the tips we have enumerated in this article. When confronted with several choices, give yourself some time to study them vis a vis what you have learned above. Evaluate your options and choose the one that best complies with the factors we have discussed.

Best Forex Guides Review

FOREX Auto Pilot System Review

DOWNLOAD NOW!

In FOREX trading, one of the disadvantage is that you are human. You need to sleep and eat. Unfortunately, the very thing which makes us human, emotions, can also cause us trouble when trading in the FOREX markets. Greed has been known to destroy quite a few trading accounts. In fact, that's exactly what happened to a man named Marcus Leary.

He was working as a FOREX Trader for a very wealthy song writer. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality clauses can't be mentioned by name. One day Marcus was trading with a technique known as intraday trading. It just means he was in and out in short time periods. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, etc...After 7 hours of trading he was up $19,000. Then astonishingly after 11 hours he was up $27,500!

He figured he'd keep pushing himself. He wanted to make the big score of $50,000 in under 24 hours. He invested it all into a trade that looked really good. Being human cost him all of his gains, he lost it all. His eyes became too heavy
after 12 straight hours of trading and not taking a break to eat or drink. After he invested the money, he fell asleep. When he awoke, he was horrified to see that he missed the profitable exit point, and the trade was now in red and bottoming
out!

Despite this cruel twist of fate, instead of discouraging him, it only encouraged him. He realized there has to be a better way. He contacted a programming friend and asked him to come up with a "robot" that will make smart trading decisions. It took his friend 3 months of labor intensive programming, but he succeeded. Anxious to put this trading robot to the test, they invested $500 and let the robot go to work. Within one week of allowing the trading robot to run they were up to over $3,089!

Marcus decided to call this invention the: "FOREX Auto Pilot System." This little trading robot can make profitable trades 24 hours a day. It doesn't need rest, it doesn't need food or drink. Most important, it trades on strict facts and figures not emotions! Marcus will be the first one to tell you that if you're looking for instant mega-riches by using this product, you need to look somewhere else. This tool has allowed many of his clients to earn a comfortable consistent, daily income. Many have been able to earn a six figure income every year. A few have been able to become millionaires over some time, not over-night.

Here's a good example of someone who wrote Marcus and got positive results:

“I Increased My Investment by Over 140% in Just 3 Days”

“What can I say? After investing just $200 into the FOREX Market your auto-pilot software netted me a clear profit of $489.75 in the first 72 Hours! I couldn’t believe how user-friendly it was. Within a month of using the system I only had to work part-time, allowing me to spend more time with my daughter Lauren. Thanks Marcus you’re a real life saver.”

As you can see, going from $200 to $489.75 over 3 days won't make you wealthy instantly. However, small, consistent gains do add up and the extra money probably sure would come in handy, wouldn't it?

Here's another great result a medical student had from using the Forex Auto Pilot System:

“I No Longer Worry About Having To Work My Way Through College”

“Being a full-time student, studying for a medical degree I have very little time to earn extra cash to help subsidize my tuition. That is, until I found FOREX Auto Pilot. Now I just check my Trading account before and after class and watch my
investments continue to grow. I’ve yet to see a losing trade. I can’t begin to thank you enough for taking the pressure of debt off my shoulders. I can finally start to enjoy college life - just like the rich kids!”

These are good examples of the types of people who had positive results. There are many more such examples at the site, including quite a few video testimonials. It's a lot of work to record a video testimonial for someone. Unless they got genuinely astounding results, they probably wouldn't go through the time and trouble to do so.

Here are some of the benefits using the FOREX Auto Pilot System:

Automated FOREX Robots that analyze the market - giving you an ‘unfair advantage’ by placing the odds in your favor. After all, there’s no fun in gambling if you can’t win.

Remember ‘trend is your friend’ – FOREX Auto Pilot knows EXACTLY when to trade in order to maximize your profits.

State-of-the-art money management programming that allows the individual trader to turn a profit even under unfavorable conditions on the market.

The system never gets angry or greedy allowing trader investment to operate at 100% efficiency. There are more listed at the site.

There are quite a few people who have bought this system and were able to quit their day jobs and no longer have money worries.

Setting Up a Professional Affiliate Program

2009-02-14T07:15:00.001-08:00

Clickbank has an automatic set up for giving you a URL to give to your affiliates. They pay the affiliate when it is time to be paid, and do your bookwork for you.
This URL you are going to give to your affiliates for them to send the visitors to your site will look like:
http://hop.clickbank.net/hop.cgi?AffiliateNickname/YourNickname However, giving someone a URL is not the best way to manage your affiliate programs. When you are serious about helping your affiliates make you money, then it is time to consider the following: Have a web page that they can market, have some banners and some sales copy that they can use, and have a way to reach them. One way to begin that professional way to go about your business is to purchase an easy to install replica script which allows your affiliates to sign in and get their own sales page, that is personalized for them. After they sign in, then you can direct them to where to sign up so you can reach them, and where to go to get their sales material.

About Clickbank

2009-02-14T07:09:00.000-08:00

Accept Credit Cards with No Monthly Fee.
ClickBank is the ecommerce solution for thousands of web businesses that deliver unique products and services over the Internet itself (via web pages, files, or email).
ClickBank's payment technology lets any web business (a seller) automatically pay sales commissions to any other web business (an affiliate) that links a paying customer to the seller. Clickbank bills the customer, pays the seller, and pays the affiliate.
By acting as the trusted intermediary, ClickBank maintains complete security and quality control in every transaction. ClickBank offers significant advantages over any stand-alone solutions for billing, marketing, or affiliate management:
Affiliates can freely link to any seller and be assured that they will be paid for every sale they generate. Sellers can freely accept new affiliates without fear of fraud or misrepresentation.
For sophisticated international fraud control, ClickBank uses ccScansm to screen all purchases. For maximum card security, all orders are sent directly to the banking network for immediate authorization. We do not store card numbers.
Since sellers only pay commissions to affiliates when the customer makes a purchase, the seller's advertising expenditure is 100% effective.
ClickBank's services are underpinned by exclusive licenses to four patents and patents pending that protect various aspects of the system including the linking of the payment transaction with the distribution of commissions.
We have been using the services provided by ClickBank for a year and half now. We are extremely happy with the services we received from them. To open your account as an affiliate at ClickBank is free. If you would like to sell your own products, then they charge a one time fee of $49.95 to activate your seller's account and 7.5% + $1.00 for each sale. The best thing about ClickBank is that they offer the best plug-in affiliate facility in the industry. You will be able to set up your own affiliate program in no time. In the long term that $49.95 fee is definitely a wise investment.
We highly recommend ClickBank to everyone

Commisson Blueprint

2008-08-26T18:41:00.000-07:00

My dearest visitor, your Clickbank commissions (??)

Hi My Blog visitors

There's been a ton of buzz around this system
over the past few days and if you haven't heard
about it yet, let me just fill you in...

It's called the "Commission Blueprint" - a
radical formula created by Tim Godfrey and Steven
Clayton that exploits Clickbank and Google in
such a devious way that the resulting profits
are in the realms of the *insane*.

==> Get Commission Blueprint Here

Of course, you will have heard this kinda' thing a
gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so
have I...

But after checking this out, I can give you rock
solid confirmation that this is the real deal,
especially if you want to replicate a simple system
that generates MASSIVE Clickbank commissions.

Let me just throw some figures your way...

- $6,513.04 in one day

- $153,426.72 in 6 weeks

- $526,422.83 in 7 months.

...and the crazy thing is, these numbers were
generated by promoting ONE Clickbank product,
bidding on just ONE keyword...and without ANY
help from JV partners or even an email list!

...not to mention the fact that this simple
affiliate campaign took just a few minutes to
set up.

How was it done?

Check out the story here:

==> Get Commission Blueprint Here

This is a VERY VERY different ball game...

In fact, if you've ever wondered why most affiliates
struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst
others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank
commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind
their back, then sit up and take note, because you're
about to find out why.

----------------
The Best Thing?
----------------

You need no experience at all because they take you
through the entire process on screen AND give you
all the tools to actually make it happen.

----------------
The Weird Thing?
----------------

It's frankly bizarre that they're revealing this stuff.
If it were me, I would've kept my mouth FIRMLY shut
for sure.

These guys do 7 figures a year with Clickbank
consistently and generate far bigger numbers than
virtually anyone else on the planet.

Point being...if you're a suffering affiliate, you
NEED this material. Badly.

----------------
The Bad News...
----------------

There are only very limited spots available
and judging by how fast this has spread around
the net, they'll go ultra fast... possibly
in the next few hours.

It has literally just gone live though
so you should be in time...

End result?

Affiliates who FAIL to get hold of this
information will be left fighting for
scraps and ultimately will be in a world of
hurt from now on; that much I can assure you...

You can't afford to be left out of the loop with
this one...

Happy as You Want to Be

2008-08-12T20:06:00.000-07:00

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also more healthy.

To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.

Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. Being part of a religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'.

Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.

Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Life Mapping: A Vision of Success

2008-08-12T20:03:00.000-07:00

Success is more than economic gains, titles, and degrees. Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.

Origin: Who you are

A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now. Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, “Hi, I’m Jean and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.” It does not tell you about who Jean is; it only tells you her present preoccupation. To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. Upon introspection, Jean realized that she was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient. Her inclination was in the biological-medical field. Furthermore, she believed that life must serve a purpose, and that wars were destructive to human dignity.

Destination: A vision of who you want to be

“Who do want to be?” this is your vision. Now it is important that you know yourself so that you would have a clearer idea of who you want to be; and the things you want to change whether they are attitudes, habits, or points of view. If you hardly know yourself, then your vision and targets for the future would also be unclear. Your destination should cover all the aspects of your being: the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Continuing Jean’s story, after she defined her beliefs, values, and principles in life, she decided that she wanted to have a life dedicated in serving her fellowmen.

Vehicle: Your Mission

A vehicle is the means by which you can reach your destination. It can be analogized to your mission or vocation in life. To a great extent, your mission would depend on what you know about yourself. Bases on Jean’s self-assessment, she decided that she was suited to become a doctor, and that she wanted to become one. Her chosen vocation was a medical doctor. Describing her vision-mission fully: it was to live a life dedicated to serving her fellowmen as a doctor in conflict-areas.

Travel Bag: Your knowledge, skills, and attitude

Food, drinks, medicines, and other travelling necessities are contained in a bag. Applying this concept to your life map, you also bring with you certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These determine your competence and help you in attaining your vision. Given such, there is a need for you to assess what knowledge, skills, and attitudes you have at present and what you need to gain along the way. This two-fold assessment will give you insights on your landmarks or measures of success. Jean realized that she needed to gain professional knowledge and skills on medicine so that she could become a doctor. She knew that she was a bit impatient with people so she realized that this was something she wanted to change.

Landmarks and Route: S.M.A.R.T. objectives

Landmarks confirm if you are on the right track while the route determines the travel time. Thus, in planning out your life, you also need to have landmarks and a route. These landmarks are your measures of success. These measures must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. Thus you cannot set two major landmarks such as earning a master’s degree and a doctorate degree within a period of three years, since the minimum number of years to complete a master’s degree is two years. Going back to Jean as an example, she identified the following landmarks in her life map: completing a bachelor’s degree in biology by the age of 21; completing medicine by the age of 27; earning her specialization in infectious diseases by the age of 30; getting deployed in local public hospitals of their town by the age of 32; and serving as doctor in war-torn areas by the age of 35.

Anticipate Turns, Detours, and Potholes

The purpose of your life map is to minimize hasty and spur-of-the-moment decisions that can make you lose your way. But oftentimes our plans are modified along the way due to some inconveniences, delays, and other situations beyond our control. Like in any path, there are turns, detours, and potholes thus; we must anticipate them and adjust accordingly.

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

2008-07-29T19:21:00.001-07:00

Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo’s takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.

To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company’s ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted.

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company.

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company’s goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google’s Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don’t need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.

While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.

Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It’s a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit.

It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don’t be counted with them.

New Breakthrough "Magic Code" Makes Your Site Money!

2008-07-29T18:51:00.000-07:00

Just Released: A New "Magic Code" that when added to any site you have causes your site (or even any site) to magically start making money.
No joke. This discovery was made by a New York doctor who for the last 10 years used it secretly to do everything from offset his advertising costs, to just adding it to 1,000's of webpages and amass a personal wealth now of nearly $100 million cash!
And now he's decided to allow you and everyone else to share in it (and since he stands nothing more to gain by keeping "you" in the dark about it).
As it turns out, a number of the largest online firms such as Alexa, and even a good number of the top 100 sites ranked on the entire Web are already using this amazing, but very simple secret.
Alexa, for instance, adds this code to a number of their webpages and it allows them to automatically generate an "extra" $90,000 a month in profits - and that for just a single webpage!
If you had 10 such pages that each did likewise, you'd "magically" get $900,000 every 30 days just poured into your pocket!
And most important: You should instantly recognize the fact that since a firm like Alexa (as well as about 34% of the Web's top 100 sites) is using this, then you too should be using it.
But here's what may SHOCK you the absolute very most ...
o It takes you just 45 seconds to add this code to any webpage
o Once added you do NOTHING further - but money just starts pouring in!
And remember ...
Just in case you think this isn't for real, firms like Alexa and others in the top 100 wouldn't be using it (but they are; so what does that tell you?)
If you are wise and want to make your webpages pay you money automatically simply by adding just a simple string of 1-line code to any webpage, then you had best go here immediately:
~~~> http://citiroz63.magiccode.hop.clickbank.net/
Why the need to RUSH? ... Simple:
The guy giving this out is letting just about another 500 to maybe 600 people at best find out about this, and then he's deliberately going to "pull the rug out from underneath" anyone else trying to get it!
I know, I know ... That sounds very cruel and unfair.
But that's his doing; so rather than argue with him it would probably just be a better idea to just go there and grab it so that at least "you" don't get left out in the rain, right?
But fair warning, in case you stumble upon this too late, just don't be shocked to see it's no longer available.

Can You Really Use Articles To Build Your List?

2008-07-29T11:30:00.000-07:00

Getting customers in your site should always be ranked as high as the importance of the quality and the excellence of the product and the services you provide. They should go hand in hand in providing your customers the satisfaction they get in exchange for the money they have paid for them. Customer service should as well be as fantastic so that the customers are provided with the same satisfaction.

One of the ways you can combine marketing and customer service is through opt-in marketing. With an opt-in list you get the opportunity to introduce your site and products on a good time basis. Opt-in marketing strategy is a marketing strategy that is virtually low cost and not time consuming. Here, you get the consent of your website visitors to subscribe to your newsletters and other promotional materials such as catalogs and free promotions.

Opt-in marketing uses your list of subscribers to send e-mail to. These e-mails will contain the materials you will send to your subscribers. It is essential that you present your promotional items in a manner that will catch the interest and the eye of your subscribers to keep them wanting for more. The best way to do this is to provide fun, entertaining and informational articles.

Well written articles full of content and useful information will help in building your list as more subscribers will be enticed your list. When they have read the samples of your contents in your sites, they will be intrigued as to what will come next. Subscribing to your newsletter will offer them a glimpse of what you have to offer next.

Many sites and companies have captured the importance of articles and this also aids in search engine optimization. As more people are heading towards the internet for their information needs, serving the right information to them via articles in your site will increase the flow of your website traffic. With more traffic, the percentage of your sales will grow. More sales turn into more profit.

There have been the rise for the importance of well written, information enriched and keyword packed articles for the content of their site as well as for newsletters. These articles provide the information many are seeking in the internet. If your site has them, more people will be going to your site for information and research.

Well written articles would also boost your sites reputation. If they are filled with many information you will be regarded as well informed and an expert on the subjects that you tackle. Your articles must be well researched so that the people will trust you. When you have gained their trust, they will always come for you for their needs on that subject.

In connection, you must write articles or commission them to tackle subjects that are closely connected with your type of business. If you have a site for a medicine tackling a certain disease, your articles must be about the diseases. Or if you sell materials for home improvements provide articles with those themes. Most articles searched for are tips, guidelines, methods, manuals and such. If you provide these articles to your customers and you have their trust, they will always go to your site for help and advice as well as for your products.

With the loyalty of these customers, they may subscribe to your opt-in list to receive all the information you have. If you provide them with the answers for that need, they will be happy to be receiving your newsletters as well as other promotional materials to keep them well informed. Others may even forward your newsletters to other people when they find a certain article interesting.

You should provide links in your newsletter so that when other people are reading it and wants to read more, they may click on the link and go to your site. With the articles you have in your site that are good, they may decide to sign up as well for your opt-in list. This will build your list and make it bigger.

Make sure to keep your subscribers happy and interested in your newsletters and promotional materials. Keep on posting and writing good articles for your site and newsletter. If you are not interested in writing them or if you just don’t have the time, there are many available well experienced and knowledgeable writers available to help you out. This is an investment that will pay for itself in time.

How to Go About Putting the Finished Video Product on Your Website

2008-07-29T11:23:00.001-07:00

So you have now made your video, but just how do you go about putting it on to your website? For many people, they have now found that using an eye catching video on their website has increased the chances that they will capture the interest of those that are visiting their site. Also, if you include video products within your web pages, then search engines will love it also. This will often result in your site being pushed up their search engine results.

There are number of ways in which you can use videos on your website, and below we discuss just some basic issues.

There are 2 options that are available to you when you are considering putting a video product on to your website. You can either let your visitors wait for the video to download completely before viewing, or you can use streaming techniques instead. The benefit to be had from using streaming techniques is that they video can be viewed while it is still downloading. In fact, streaming video products are becoming more and more popular on the internet today.

Although many of us think that the process of creating, editing and then uploading a video product to a website is difficult. If the truth be told, it does not take much time to do, and it is not that complicated at all.

But when making a video product you should pay attention to your bandwidth usage. The problem with making a video product is that they will eat up your bandwidth. Also, there are problems which can arise of a legal nature if you use video files which do not belong to you.

So when you are deciding about putting a video on to your website you should first think about if the value of the video will justify the time that you spend on preparing and then implementing it to your website. You will need to ask yourself the following questions.

1. Will the video that I am producing be of help to visitors to my website?

2. What technique will I want to use when it actually comes to implementing the video on to my website?

So, for example, if a person has a slow internet connection, then normally a 1mb video file will take approximately 5 minutes for them to download. So is the value of the information provided in your video product of a quality that a visitor to your site with a slow internet connection will be happy to wait for the product to download?

When ever you put a video on to your website, ensure that it is of the highest quality possible. It is important that it will not only add real value to your site, but also to those who will be looking at it also.

How to Create a Video Tutorial for Your Customers

2008-07-29T11:21:00.000-07:00

Often, creating a video product can be labor intensive. But in this chapter, we will look at way you can produce a video product fast in order to have it ready for the market almost immediately; it is known as a video tutorial.

A video tutorial can be created in a very short amount of time (it can take as little as an hour to do). It can also be done on any topic you want. Not only are they are easy to make, but they can be fun as well.

Below, we provide you with a number of steps that you should follow in order to make a video tutorial product.

1. Define Your Topic

What you should first do is decide on what your video tutorial is going to be about. Say, for example, you want to show people how to use Microsoft Word. This is likely to be a very long tutorial. So the first thing you should do before making the whole tutorial is break it up into smaller tasks. So if you happen to be producing a more comprehensive product for your customers, you can provide them with lessons that then build on one another, until the whole topic has been covered.

You may decide that the first tutorial will be on the “Basic terminology of Word”, then you might do one on “How to Format a Paragraph” and a third one can be on “Insertion of Tables”.

So what you need to do next is outline each step, in detail, that you are going to work on through out each tutorial. But what you must remember is that the key to an effective tutorial is the detail contained within. So it’s important that you create your video tutorial with every little step in place, and never assume that your students (customers) know anything. By creating a clear step by step outline, this will keep you on track and will also help you avoid those steps which might be unclear.

2. Get the Software

Now you need to download a good software program that you can use for recording. One such program is Camtasia.

This allows you to create a film with audio and video of a section on your computer. This then allows you to make the video in to either a Flash video, mpeg or streaming video available from your website.

3. Now to record the Tutorial

What you need to do now is turn off the phone (unplug it if you have to), go into a quiet room, or if not, tell everyone that you need quiet and need to be left alone. Then all you need to do is follow the instructions provided by your video recording software program (Camtasia) on your computer. Then all you need to do is record your video product and save it.

4. Do not forget any supporting material

This unfortunately is an important part of any video product and is often overlooked. By having good quality written material to support your video product will change it from being a mediocre one to a great one instead.

How to Edit Your Video Product

2008-07-29T11:19:00.000-07:00

So you have done a good job of planning your video product project and you have also recorded it. Now we get on to the editing part of this book. But ensuring that you have a good computer with lots of hard drive space, as well as a good software editing program will help also.

There are plenty of editing programs available which allow you to name each individual clip, either as you bring it in, or when it is in the clip library.

If you can, be generous as to what you import on to your computer. Remember, you can throw anything away that you do not need, and it is much easier than when you import in the first place.

Remember to keep a fast pace during the production of your video, as it keeps the people looking at it interested. If you need to, make sure that your clips are in the right order and rearrange them as needed. Most of the editing software programs allow the user to click and drag their clips in to the right place.

If you can, adjust the amount of footage that you show at the start, and end, of each clip in order to create a smooth transition between your scenes or instructions. If you want, try inserting some black space between each section, and also use a fade transition.

Titles and Captions

As with special effects, the way in which a person uses titles and captions in their video product can either enhance or ruin it. So use them sparingly, and instead let your video and sound tell the story for you.

However, it is important that you make the text large enough to be seen, and then choose a color which can easily be viewed in the background of your video. Also leave it on the screen long enough in order for your viewers to read it.

Music and Sound

Even silent movies used sound. They were often accompanied by background music, which helps to enhance the mood of the film. So by choosing the right sort of music and providing well placed narration, it will help to make your video product even better.

We will now look more closely at other editing issues, in case you are looking to produce a high quality video product.

1. You can decrease the size of the clip. By reducing the resolution, you are then able to reduce the size of the files that you have on your computer.

2. You can compress the video. Today you will find that most video files allow for some form of compression, and it is not far from the techniques used to compress still images. But if you compress them too much, the picture quality will deteriorate.

3. You may decide that you want to drop the frame rate. This is all well and good, but below 15 fps and then the motion in the video starts to appear jerky.

4. If you want, you can stream your video. This means that, unlike normal video files where you need to download them before they are played, you are able to see the video on demand (it plays as it is being downloaded). So what you will need to do is download part of the video to act as a buffer. Then, once it commences playing the video from the buffer, it will continue to download, topping up the buffer as it carries on downloading. But if you do use this, you may need a special server in order to stream your video products from.

However, most video editing programs are geared to the user making web clips, and will enable the user to do at least 3 tasks. Often many of these programs come with a video capture device or camera.

But now let us have a look at the various video file types that are most commonly used on the web today.

1. .avi

This is short for audio/video interleaved. It can use several compression schemes, and is becoming increasingly more popular with those producing video products on the web. You will also find that most digital video cameras shoot in the .avi format.

2. .mov (Quicktime)

These files are based on the Quicktime system. Although it was initially designed for the Mac Platform, it can now be used with most other operating systems via a plug in and helper application. The standard Quicktime player can be downloaded from Apple for free, and it will also provide you with access to many other resources as well. It has some great compression schemes, which often make these files smaller without them losing any of their quality.

3. .mpeg

This format has taken its name for the group which developed it, namely Motion Pictures Expert Group. This remains one of the most important web video files around today because of the range of compression that can be applied to it. Also, unlike .avi and .mov (Quicktime), it has not been developed for any particular operating system.

4. .wmv (Windows Media Video)

This is part of the Microsoft Windows Media Format and is comparatively new. It is an all singing, all dancing media format, but comes with the added bonus of having Microsoft resources backing it up. Not only does it provide better compression technology, but these files can either be downloaded or streamed. There are plenty of other Microsoft resources to go with it, many of which can be downloaded for free.

Plan Before You Commence Shooting Your Video Product

2008-07-29T11:18:00.001-07:00

In order for you to create a good quality video product, you need to have a good solid plan in place. This will not only save you time, but it will also minimize the frustration, and you will end up producing a much better final video product.

So you will need to spend time researching your subject, writing a script (if you need one) and then layout the video production plan before you beginning recording.

When producing any video product, it is best to start at the end. It is important that you know what you are going to do with the video product once it has been produced. Are you just going to use it on your website or are you going to burn it to a CD or DVD for your customers? Or are you going to allow them to download it directly as part of an offer with the product that you are promoting?

If you need to, create a storyboard before you beginning shooting. This will provide you with a good idea of the shoots that you will need.

If you have the chance, clean up the hard drive on your computer. Unfortunately, video takes up huge amounts of space. In fact 1 minute of video can require up to 100mb or more of a computers hard drive (this all depends on several different factors). So therefore, the more room you have, the more flexibility you will have for the actual editing process. If you will be producing either large or multiple projects then it may well be worth considering investing in a FireWire Hard Drive.

So with a good plan to hand, the actual recording of the video should go smoothly and provide you with plenty of material for the editing process.

Remember, the better the quality of the original material produced then the better the quality your final video product will be.

Creation and Editing Software for a Video Product

2008-07-29T11:16:00.000-07:00

Today it is easier than ever for a person to create and edit their own digital video products on their computers using one of the many software products that are available. But in this chapter of the book, we will look more closely at the Adobe products which are readily available. So whether you want your video to inspire, instruct or just entertain your customers, there is an Adobe product which can help you to achieve this.

Adobe Premiere 6.5

This software is the most adaptable DV-editing tool on the market today. With it, you have the sophisticated Adobe Title Designer, MPEG-2 Export facility, DVD authoring as well as powerful audio tools in order for you to create the most extraordinary video products possible.

Adobe After Effects 5.5

This software delivers a comprehensive set of tools in order for you to efficiently produce motion graphics and visual effects for your video production. You can explore unlimited creative possibilities while having precise control over what you are doing. It also allows you to work in either a 2D or 3D composite environment. It also allows unparalleled integration with many of the other Adobe software products that are available.

Adobe Digital Video Collection

Version 8.0 of this includes Photoshop 7.0, Illustrator 10, After Effects 5.5 and Premiere 6.5. By purchasing this complete package, you could be saving yourself money instead of buying each package separately.

How to Choose the Right Web Cam

2008-07-29T11:14:00.000-07:00

When looking for a web cam or digital camera in order to produce a good quality video product, you will need one that is USB based or has firewire capabilities (preferred). That is, one which can be connected to your desktop or notebook computer. Then you have the ability to run different software applications that you wish to use, for example, video conferencing, and surveillance monitoring or even just for your own entertainment.

When looking for a good web cam, you may want to take a closer look at those produced by Creative Web Cam or Logitech Quick Cam. These companies offer a variety of different types of cameras, all of which are readily available. They offer low resolution instant messaging ones through higher resolution devices. They start at around $30 and can go up to as much as $150 for those with a pan and tilt control.

However, there are some things which you should consider before you purchase your web cam.

Basic Design

These web cams are specifically designed for use with your desktop or notebook computer. They can either sit on the table or rest on a monitor. There are even some which can clamp on to your portable notebook screen, while others offer an adjustable base so that they can be used with both kinds of cameras.

Image and Resolution

The more simple types of web cam have a resolution of 352 x 288. This is good enough for basic video conferencing. Also, most web cams offer the user basic live video and still image capture at up to VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. But there are some which use 1.3 megapixel image sensors, which offers higher quality and sharpness (this is extremely useful for still image grabs). There are also others which are “software enhanced” in order to provide you with the highest resolution possible. However, most web cams offer full rate video capture at 30 frames per second. So this should be no problem for many computers today which come with a USB 2.0 interface. While there are others which offer you better sensitivity in low light and these are particularly good for video conferencing when sitting in a dark room or for use as a surveillance tool in the evening.

Lens and Focus

There are some web cams which come with fixed focus, while others will offer the user a manual focus ring. These are particularly good for focusing on a person’s face, for video conferencing or to focus on something in the distance. There are others which can offer the user a wider angle lens (around about 76^o). This is great if you want to get a large group of people in to the frame or you want to see the full vista of the scenery outside your window.

Audio Capture

There are some web cams which come with a built in microphone (so you will need no other equipment).

USB Interface

In order to produce higher quality video, you will need to purchase a camera which supports the faster USB 2.0 high speed interface. Most web cams and digital cameras today will also support the much slower USB 1.1 interface, but the resolution provided by this is much lower.

Motorized Pan and Tilt

Normally the more expensive types of web cam which cost around $130 come with a motorized pan and tilt.

Digital Zoom

Unfortunately consumer web cams do not have an optical zoom lens, but they do offer digital zoom (up to 4x) in order for you to enlarge an area of the captured frames. This is especially useful for remote viewing. Say, for example, when the video being transmitted over the internet is actually of a lower resolution than the captured video frames.

Web Cam Software

You will often find that most web cams will include a Windows driver that supports the standard Windows video interface. These are compatible with most Windows applications.

But apart from the driver software, these cameras will also be provided with other software bundles. They may well include video monitoring and capture, video instant messaging, video e-mail, video editing, video conferencing and video surveillance.

The Tools That You Will Need For Video Production

2008-07-29T11:09:00.000-07:00

In order to produce good quality video products, you will need to invest in a good quality web camera or digital camera (or both). Remember that the higher the resolution it has, the better the output it provides will be. So if you are looking to present your product/service in the best possible way, you need to get the best.

Sound

If you require sound for your video, then you need a microphone. By recording your voice as a voice over to the video, you are actually providing an additional benefit to your customers. As the sound, as well as the picture, is important when making a video product, you should ensure that the sound effects are as enticing as the video itself.

Lighting

It is important that the area is well lit, and that the entire area that you are going to use for making your video product. The more light you have in the area, the crisper the video pictures will be. You may also decide to use lighting effects in order to add further appeal to your video presentation.

Video Editing Software

This can be any program, but you do need this in order to finalize your work. It can help you to add further sounds, delete some bad angles or help you to insert some still pictures as well. There are some programs available which are user friendly (we will look at these in another chapter) without you having any knowledge with regard to video editing. Even the simplest video editing programs should help you to achieve your goal of producing a good quality video product. It is vital when doing your editing you choose the right background for your video. As the light will effect the video presentation, it is important that you choose a background which will complement the lighting.

Why Video Marketig?

2008-07-29T11:01:00.000-07:00

Today, people are looking for something that they can actually respond to in place of the usual Ebooks and special reports being provided across the net. Now, more than ever, there is a challenge for the internet marketer to come up with a novel way to entice people into buying a particular product or service.

Certainly the product which seems to be able to do this is the video product. Video is becoming one of the biggest marketing tools around today.

There are many reasons as to why the video product is now starting to surpass the written word, and below are just a number of reasons.

1. You will find that people respond better to what they can see and hear, rather than what they can just read.

2. People are more stimulated when they watch something that they will enjoy.

3. It is a great way of conveying information more clearly and demonstrating the product more effective using a video rather than with the written word.

4. Using this method you are able to present the information in a clearer, and certainly more often than not, in a concise manner.

5. These are often viewed as being more professional than their counterparts, such as E books.

In fact, for many people today, the video product is easily the better option compared to the more conventional options available. But there is one problem that most internet marketers seem to face when using this medium, in that it seems to be a complicated process to actually create one. However, as long as you have the right knowledge on how to proceed, then this should not be the case. In fact, creating a video product should be as easy as making a cake.

But first of all, we need to take a look at the steps that are essential in order for you to produce a good quality video product.

1. Select a subject. It is best that you choose one with which you are already familiar.

2. Select a particular aspect of the subject that you want to discuss in your video. Remember, it must be both engaging and helpful to all your future customers.

3. Prepare an outline on how you will discuss this part of the subject.

4. Carry out any research you need in order to make sure that you have everything at hand.

5. If you are producing a video on a subject that involves a certain niche, then get yourself a digital camcorder in order to record the appropriate material. You can then decide whether you want to add audio during real time (when actually filming) or during the editing process.

6. If your video involves online affairs, then you need to get yourself a screen capture program. You can download one from many sites, such as camtasia.com. This allows you to capture your computer screen movements in .avi format. Plus, it allows you to record the audio in real time, or you may prepare a different audio file by using Windows Sound Recorder and then synchronizing the two formats later on.

7. You will now need to edit the product using a video editing software program (which we will look at in more detail later on in this book). There are certainly plenty of these software programs available for sale, but Windows XP comes with a movie maker program already.

8. Should you be choosing to offer this product as a download to your customers, you will then need to convert the file into a .wmv format in order to compress its size.

9. However, if you decide to physically deliver this video product to your customers, you will need to burn it on to a CD or DVD and then prepare to ship them.

10. Once all the above stages have been completed, your video product is now ready to be marketed.

In fact, as you can see from the above, there is nothing really complicated about producing your own video product. To be honest, anyone could do it, if they tried. There are plenty of applications around that will help you to achieve your goal of making a good quality video product for the internet.

If you want, you could do the following:-

1. You could add a video component to your sales page in order to increase your response rate.

2. You could offer your customers downloadable video lessons, which will result in a boost in their confidence of your abilities and knowledge on the subject.

3. You can demonstrate what needs to be done with a particular software product that you are offering by producing a series of videos which can be included as part of the package you are offering to your customers.

As you can see, the possibilities of using video products are endless, and the examples shown above are just a few of the great ways for using video products. So if you want to be seen in a more favorable light in the online marketing fields, then consider creating your own video products as soon as you can.

A Video Product Can Help Boost Traffic and Sales to Your Website

2008-07-29T10:59:00.001-07:00

There are many reasons why, today, the savvier internet marketers around you claim that video is the next big thing without being told either by YouTube or Time Magazine. They have already been using and benefiting from online videos well before either Time Magazine or others had noticed that both video, and self generated content, would be having a profound impact on people’s daily lives.

You will find that, for many years, online marketers have been using videos as a way to promote and sell their products. Often, they mainly use the video as a marketing tool, as it is both cost effective and a simple way to market. In fact, the video is one marketing trend that should not be ignored by any online marketer. Not only are they playing a huge role in online marketing now, but they will be playing an even bigger role in the future.

Today, more and more well known internet marketers are now using videos in order to not just promote and sell their products, but also to create a buzz in the market place.

Many online marketers are now beginning to exploit the immediate connection and effectiveness of using video products for marketing purposes. They can not only be used to inform potential customers regarding different products or services, but they can also be used for promoting offers. Many internet marketers know that building a solid relationship with their customers is the main way to boost their sales. So by using a video product, they can have an effective but simple way of making this connection with their customers.

In fact, today you will find that most internet marketers are also using blogs in order to update and contact any potential customers. Both Blog and RSS feeds are now becoming the most important marketing tools around, which gives any video products a marketer produces unlimited potential for them to earn more traffic and sales to their sites. Plus, with the introduction of the RSS empowered Microsoft Windows program “Vista”, we should expect to see Blogs and RSS playing an even greater role in the internet marketing field. So as you can see, video products have truly arrived in the world of online marketing.

Most likely what will happen is that we will see many websites on the internet becoming their own broadcasting system. Sites will soon have their own television channel, which will cater to a specific niche or a broader subject, depending on what the subject matter is that is covered by a particular site.

But the best thing about this is that you do not need to be a big player in order to get involved in this form of marketing. No matter how big or small a marketer you are, you can use and benefit from creating and producing your own video products.

How to Build Your Mailing List

2008-07-29T10:55:00.000-07:00

Once you have finished setting up your eZine and creating its contents in advance, now is the time to build your subscriber base.

First Thing’s First

====================

If you own a website (especially if it is content-based), the quickest way to get subscribers is to turn as many visitors to your web pages into your subscribers as possible.

This can be quickly done by converting each and every frequented webpage on your website into subscriber-pulling devices.

You can create a pop up window to appear during or after your visitor goes to the webpage asking him or her for his email address and subscribe to your newsletter.

Alternatively, you can make some space in your web pages to include an opt-in form for your interested visitors to subscribe to your eZine.

Why Convert Visitors Into Subscribers?

=======================================

This is reasonable, because your visitors may or MAY NOT come back to your web site again.

But if you ask your visitor for permission to follow up with him or her via opting into your mailing list, there is a good chance that he or she will come back to your web site again let alone converting him or her into your customer.

Another Subscriber-Snatching Method

====================================

You can also create a landing page for your visitors to download a free gift or report from you in exchange for their email addresses.

Top marketers often use this simple-but-profound method in converting the most subscribers out of visitors possible.

This is an encouraged method, because not only do you just focus on driving targeted traffic into a web page you have to do only once, you are proving your worth upfront by providing a free report written by you in exchange for their valuable contact, i.e. email addresses.

Choosing Your eZine Topic

2008-07-29T10:52:00.000-07:00

When choosing a topic to publish your online newsletter on, you must consider the following crucial factors, so much so they can actually determine your future success in eZine publishing and marketing.

Factor #1: Non-time Sensitive Content

======================================

Look, you want to create content in advance so that you can relax later on and dispense to your subscribers at your own convenience.

Obviously, the latest news on TV and football scores count out of this. You want to be able to compile weeks of content ahead in a day or two.

Therefore, non-time sensitive information such as facts, articles and case studies make good content for your eZine publishing.

Factor #2: Starving Demand

===========================

While there are a variety of newsletters published on the Internet (some of them being the insults and jokes eZine), you will do well to cater to a starving market that will always be on demand for the kind of content you offer.

Examples include Internet Marketing niches such as Resell Rights and Affiliate Marketing, Relationship niches such as dating and building relationships, and Food niches such as recipes.

Factor #3: Products You Can Endorse

====================================

Having said that, you also want to have a steady stream of products or services you can endorse as your own or as an affiliate to your mailing list for profits.

This is otherwise impossible if you would have run an eZine on obscure topics or subjects where products are created rather less.

Factor #4: Advertisers

=======================

Today, advertisers are getting more and more savvy. In other words, advertisers would rather advertise in “focused” eZines where their prospects are than to go all out blindly in a general eZine.

For example, an advertiser who sells products on relationships would find it wiser to advertise in a “relationships” eZine rather than the “jokes” eZine, regardless if the “jokes” eZine has more readers or not.

List Building Methods You Should Refrain From Using

2008-07-29T10:47:00.000-07:00

This happens every day (and maybe every hour, too). And when this happens, I can almost say: “Bad move!” or “Money down the drain!”

These are methods you definitely won’t have my endorsement – or even your own, for that matter, when you discover how flawed these list building methods can really be.

Buying Bulk Mails

==================

Sure, you have definitely come across ads that read: “1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99”. And these bulk mail companies can even offer you these names in a CD at your doorstep.

Sure, having 1,000,000 email addresses of subscribers is cool and often sounds too good to be true. Well, that’s TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE alright!

What many do not really know is that these bulk companies harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the Internet. That’s how the 1,000,000 email addresses come about, whatever the amount is.

Now, the really awful part is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming.

That is so possible, because of the 1,000,000 names, no one knows you or even ask to be subscribed to your mailing list.

On top of that, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really in use because a portion of them can either be own by the same owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or are obsolete.

When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it’s a waste of money.

Free-For-All (FFA)

==================

This used to be the hip and happening in the early 2000s, but FFAs no longer work today, since FFA businesses are no longer viable and are solely set up to benefit their operators.

Thus when you hear of FFA, you will do well to refrain from it, because apart from submitting your ad or message to so-called 1000s of sites for FREE, you have unknowingly signed up to be on the operator’s “spam list”.

Guaranteed Traffic

===================

This is yet another tempting offer that sounds too good to be true. I won’t go into the details of how guaranteed traffic really works, but do remember that it’s a rather tricky offer.

Guaranteed traffic offers can go like “100,000 visitors for $29.99”. While it is true that you can get 100,000 visitors to your website, ultimately you won’t be getting any sale or even decent subscribers.

This is because the traffic operator gets your traffic by popping up windows on other web sites, and loading your web site into these windows.

These windows containing your web site will sit below the current window of an Internet surfer who is looking at another web site in his window above yours, therefore the window containing your web site is in a pop-under window.

Remember that you will also be getting untargeted traffic, people who are not willing to buy either.

Creating a Landing Page that Converts

2008-07-29T10:43:00.000-07:00

The truth is that you can rely to only one sole way to pull in subscribers into your mailing list – by creating a landing page.

It makes sense, anyway, because not only do you do the work just once, your traffic driving efforts can be focused onto just one place rather than everywhere.

The Criteria of a Good Landing Page

====================================

** Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address.

I very much endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address.

It is also a good method to prove your worth and show that you are an expert of your own domain or topic.

** The landing page must be written professionally.

When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.

Your landing page need not be long – a short letter will do. As long as you write an attention grabbing headline followed by your brief introduction and offer, you have scored much of a chance to convert more than 60 to 80 percent of your visitors into subscribers.

** No other links included.

Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page – not even a Google Adsense, either!

** Rub in the benefits of the freebie you are offering more than a mere subscription to your newsletter.

You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer.

Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie. He or she may choose to unsubscribe at any time.

Additional Tips

================

** Get an eCover for your free product on offer. It doesn’t sell, but it HELPS your landing page sell the benefit of opting into your mailing list across to your visitor.

** Write black text over white layout. This is standard practice in writing letters even online. No other exceptions.

** To build trust, you can include your hand-written signature or a photo of yourself explaining where you are coming from and how you can help your visitor through your free report on offer.

Your Auto Responder Your Asset

2008-07-29T10:38:00.000-07:00

We’ll discuss here about how you can use an auto responder to your marketing advantage and profits favor.

To learn why this is the case, see below:

The Most Important Asset

==========================

Regardless of what niche market you cater to, your auto responder is your asset and in most cases, your best friend, too.

It’s not a surprise that Internet Marketing and auto responders do go hand-in-hand. Today, online marketing success is miles away without the use of auto responders.

Having said that, the question as to whether one should invest in a paid, sophisticated auto responder service is now answered with a resounding YES!

As a matter of fact, it’s the wisest investment any Internet Marketer could make.

Using Auto Responders

======================

Whether you do affiliate marketing or market your own products, an auto responder is a big part of your marketing arsenal.

Auto responders are used to keep in contact and follow up with your customers, and to develop a relationship with your subscribers, affiliates and prospects.

An auto responder can be used to deliver sales messages and endorsement letters to your mailing list.

It can be used to deliver eCourses, reminders, and even offers that make you money. There are many creative ways you can use your auto responder to make more sales and to build customer relations.

Any savvy marketer will tell you that there are two tools vital to any type of online marketing success.

Namely:

* A mailing list, and

* An auto responder, equipped with broadcast feature!

In fact, most marketers will agree that you could take away all of their other marketing tools, but they would fight to the death to keep the list and the auto responder!

Why? Because the money is in the list!

A Good Reason to Start Your Own Online Newsletter

2008-07-29T10:37:00.000-07:00

Also known as eZine, publishing your own periodical newsletters can be one of the most profitable businesses you can do online without incurring such a high cost.

An ordinary individual like yourself can easily start and run your own online newsletter. And in ways more than one, you have advantages a conventional business which publishes your daily paper does not have.

For starters, you save a lot of costs in printing your own papers and a whole lot more of trees in the process. Secondly, all you really need to start your own eZine are an auto responder equipped with broadcast feature and some contents!

It Cannot Get Any Better, Can It?

==================================

Now, here is yet another undisputed fact: the truth is that owning a mailing list is more important than the product.

Why is that?

Quite simply, if you do not own a mailing list then you do NOT own a business. Since businesses, regardless of any kind, involve people, your prospects are none other than people themselves (who else on Earth uses money to spend?).

If you would frequent Joint Venture clubs and forums often, you will come to notice that product owners often want to cooperate with mailing list owners who have the list of prospects they want.

While some product owners offer attractive incentives and commissions to mailing list owners, the point I want to drive home is that product owners are, most of the time, needing the mailing list owner more than the other way round.

And mailing list owners are much rarer than product owners, since products (even great ones) are created almost everyday – great mailing list owners don’t come by on the same frequency.

Therefore, you will do well to consider to make your own Internet Marketing “checkmate” and cash your profits in by becoming the next power mailing list owner!

Once you start to build your own mailing list, you will find yourself flooded with lots of offers from product and service owners waiting to have you as their partner in success.

How To Build A List Of Eager Subscribers

2008-07-29T10:28:00.000-07:00

Every online business provides great service to generate satisfaction among their customers. As each and every customer receives satisfaction over their products or the services they get, there is a great chance that they will become a return customer and buy again. Better yet, they will recommend you to other people that could generate more business for you and your site.

As more traffic is driven to your site, you can entice many of them to subscribe to your mailing list or opt-in list. This is a list where in website visitors agree to be sent promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and such that could keep them updated about your site or the niche of your site. These promotional materials are sent via e-mail to the members of the list in different time intervals.

When using e-mail as the media of your marketing and advertisements, you eliminate the need for high costs. Email is free and if you can manage to make your own promotional advertisements you can also save a bundle there. With an opt-in subscribers list, you are pretty sure that what you are sending out is received, viewed and read by the subscribers and not simply being deleted. They have signed up for service and have consented in receiving it.

This means that there are constant reminders to your subscribers about all your products, new products and services as well as any promotions and special deals you are having. There is also the chance that they can be forwarded to other potential customers as they tell their friends and families about you and your site.

Of course you should be also aware that a subscriber may unsubscribe when they feel that they are not getting what they want or expected. Make sure that they are satisfied with your opt-in marketing strategies and keep them excited in receiving your newsletters and catalogs. Here are some tips that can help you build a list of eager subscribers.

Make your promotional materials interesting and fun. Try to use a little creativity but not too over artsy. Build around what your product or service is about. For example; if you are selling car parts, put some pictures of what is new in the auto parts world, a new wing door possibly that can fit any car and make it look like a Lamborghini.

Try to research what people are looking for, these way, you stay one step ahead of them all the time and you will be their bearer of new tidings. They will be eager to receive what you are sending them because they new you always have fresh and new things to share with them.

Write good articles that can be very informational but light at the same time. If your subscribers enjoy your articles, they will go to your site by clicking the links that you will be putting on your newsletter to read some more. You can provide articles that can connect to many people. Be diverse in your articles. Put something humorous, then put something informational, then put something that has both.

Are you wary about this because you don’t like writing? No problem, there are many professional and experienced article writers that can do the job for you for minimal fees. They know what they are doing and can provide the need that you have for your newsletters, the money that you pay for your articles are going to be met by the many sign-ups and the potential profit from the sales that you will get.

Create and send an E-book to your customers about anything that is related to your business or site. Use your knowledge and expertise in the field you have chosen to help other people who are similarly interested. Offer this e-book for free. You can write about anything informational and helpful to your subscribers. For example; you can do manuals and guides in so many things. This e-book could be used as a reference for many people.

Add e-coupons in your newsletters that will help them avail to special discounts. Put a control number in your e-coupon so that they can only be used once. When people get discounts that can be found in your newsletters, they will be eager to receive your newsletter in anticipation of what you are promoting next.

If your subscribers can get benefits from your newsletters, they will be very eager to receive them. Just don’t flood your mailing list with mails so that you don’t annoy your subscribers.

The 3 Things To Avoid When Emailing Your List

2008-07-29T10:27:00.000-07:00

While there are so many ways you can make people subscribe to your list, there are also some things you must do to avoid subscribers from wanting to get off from your list.

Aside from that, you also want to avoid any problems with the law and your Internet service provider or ISP. There are now many laws and rules that are applied to help protect the privacy of the Internet users from spamming and unwanted mails. With the popularity of the electronic mail as a medium for marketing because of the low cost, many company’s have seized the opportunity and have flooded many people’s e-mail accounts with promotional mail.

But, with an opt-in list, you avoid this annoyance because people subscribe to the list; they want to receive the newsletters and promotional materials. They have consented to being on the list by subscribing themselves, just don’t forget to put an unsubscribe feature every time in your opt-in list so that you avoid any confusion. There may be times when an email account was provided when the real owner didn’t want to subscribe.

It is essential that you keep your list clean and manageable. Arrange it by using the many tools and technologies available for your opt-in list. Do not worry; your investment in this marketing strategy is well worth it with all the coverage you will get which will likely be converted into sales then to profit.

Keep yourself and your business out of trouble and potential run-ins with the law and the internet service providers. Keep your operation legit and clean. Your reputation as a legitimate businessman and a legitimate site depends on your being a straight and true marketing strategist. As a tip, here are three things to avoid when emailing your list.

1) Take notice of your unsuccessful sends.

These are the e-mails that bounce. Bounced emails, also known as undeliverable messages, are those messages that, for whatever reason, were not successfully received by the intended recipient.

There are bounces that happen or occur because the server was busy at that time but can still be delivered in another time. There are also bounces because the inbox of the recipient is full at that time. There are those bounce messages that are simply undeliverable ever. The reason for this is that it may be an invalid email address, a misspelled email address, or an email address that was abandoned and erased already.

Manage your list by putting markings on those that bounce. Erase an email account from your list so that you have an accurate statistics and records as to how many are actually receiving your mail. You may also want to check the spellings of your email addresses in your list. One common mistake is when an N instead of an M is placed in the .com area.

2) Always provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in your mails.

When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, always take that request seriously. If you don’t take them off your list and keep sending them your e-mails, you are now sending them spam mail.

When you are reported as a spammer, you and your business can get into a lot of trouble. You can be reported to the authorities and maybe blacklisted by many internet service providers. You will lose a lot of subscribers this way and many more in potential subscribers.

3) Do not provide pornographic or shocking and disturbing content in your newsletters.

It is hard to decipher the age of the recipient and many complaints may stem from these. Controversial issues also are to be avoided to not be branded by your subscribers. Stick to the nature of your site and business.

Always remember these tips in this article so that you can have a healthy relationship with your subscribers as well as be kept within the boundaries of what is allowed in sending mails to an opt-in list.

How to Make Money Using Nothing More Than Your List

2008-07-29T10:25:00.000-07:00

The more RESPONSIVE subscribers you have, the more money you can make. Here are seven ways to make money using nothing more than your list.

1) Place advertisements.

There are many corporations who will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many subscribers. Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be placed with many ads and each one spells money.

2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to what your site is about.

Here other companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what they offer, products and services. With every click made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you. This P4P or pay for performance.

3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of sales done through your list.

With every sale done by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales. The more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get.

4) You may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via your newsletter.

Place descriptions, articles and photos of the product in your newsletter. There will be those who will buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer.

5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your list.

Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand. Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book could be offered and sold or used as an incentive.

6) Create a network out of your list.

Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your list. The larger your list is, the more people will be able to click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your advertisement rates higher.

7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon.

Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making them your partners. Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase.

4 Ways To Get Your Opt In Subscribers To Trust You Quickly

2008-07-29T10:24:00.000-07:00

While the rest of the world have developed many barriers and protections to keep their e-mail accounts spam-free, there are also those that subscribe to mails that promotes their products, services and their site. This is mainly because these subscribes wants to know more about what these sites are offering and can be beneficial for them. They expect to get be kept posted on what they are interested in and what are new in the market or field they have chosen.

Businesses would be so lucky to have these kinds of customers; the basic element needed to get these types of people is trust. When your customers trust you they will reward you with their loyalty. Many Internet users have gone to great lengths in protecting their email accounts from spam mail. Some free-mail Internet providers and Internet service providers offer spam protection while there are also some Internet based companies that screen your mails for you.

With an opt-in mail list, the mails you send containing your promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and marketing media will go through. Your intended recipient will be able to read and view what you have sent making it a successful transfer of information. To be able to be allowed to do so, you will need permission from your recipient, to get this permission; you need to be able to get their trust. With the great lack of disregard for privacy in the Internet, getting the trust of an internet user you don’t personally know is a big achievement.

To build a good opt-in list you need people to trust you, for a faster and quicker build up, you need to get your opt-in subscribers to trust you quickly. The faster you build your opt-in list the faster word about your site and company gets to be spread. The bigger the scope of your opt-in list the more traffic you get spelling more profits. Its easy math if you thin about it. Getting the numbers is not that simple though, or maybe it is?

Getting the trust of your clientele shouldn’t be so hard especially if you do have a legitimate business. Getting your customers trust should be based upon your expertise. People rely on other people who know what they are talking about. Garner all the knowledge and information about your business. Ell, frankly if you decide to go into a business most probably you have an interest in it. Like how many basketball payers become coaches, you don’t really venture into something you don’t have any interest in.

Show your clients that you know what you are talking about. Provide them with helpful hints and guidelines that pertain to what you are selling. Talk about how to install a roof if your into hardware products or provide articles on insurance settlements if you’re a settlement lawyer. You don’t have to be a big corporation to make use of an opt-in list. If your customers see you as someone who knows what he is doing and saying, they will trust you quickly.

Be true to your customers, if you want to hype up your products and services, provide guarantees. The more satisfied customers you get, the bigger probability there is that they will recommend you. Generally, people will trust someone they know, when that someone recommends you then you’re a shoo-in. They will go to your site and check it for themselves and be given a chance to experience what the other shave experienced from you, so make sure to be consistent in the service you provide.

Another tip in getting a customer to trust you quickly is to provide them an escape hatch. Show them that you are not there to trap them. Keep a clean list that would enable them to unsubscribe anytime they want. Elaborate your web form by providing information on how to unsubscribe from the list. Guarantee them that they can let go of the service whenever they want to. Many are wary that they may be stuck for life and would have to abandon their email accounts when they get pestered with spam.

Remember that when you get the trust of your clients don’t lose that trust. Because if you do anything with their email addresses like sell them or give them out, you will lose many members of your list as ell as potential members. The true quickest way to gain the trust of your subscribers is when you are recommended by someone they trust.

3 Quick And Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List

2008-07-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list:

1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first.

Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need.

Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users.

This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the Internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Important! Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

Not a lot of people use email

Email marketing is one of the most effective marketing methods nowadays simply because virtually almost all people use email. Check on those email fields or blanks required to be filled up on various forms needed in processing different transactions. A person without an email address is tantamount to a person without an online home, which is one big shameful truth for this generation.

Email marketing campaigns can offend a lot of people

Techniques like offering account updates and special programs through email can easily land you those lists of valuable visitors.

Forms for signup located at cash registers and other high-traffic and highly visible spots can be very excellent venues for your business to collect email addresses. Notification of upcoming sales through their email addresses and names can coax them to supply you with the information you need.

Elements of a Good Newsletter

2008-07-29T09:52:00.000-07:00

A good newsletter is a special timely report on a single subject; with high-quality content and a humble resource box at the end.

It is a personalized, concise statement from an expert or person thoroughly familiar with a specialized field. High quality, content-rich material with virtually no advertising is the key.

The specialized information in newsletters is current, and ideally cannot be found elsewhere. They are a logical extension to a trade or hobby.

Aimed at a select group, they often contain inside information in the field, hot tips, humorous anecdotes or news scoops.

Newsletters are not meant for the mass market. In fact, the average number of potential readers of newsletters in any one field is relatively small.

With all the print media and visual communications in this country, you might think there is a saturated market. And that is true when it comes to general interest mass market publications.

However, the need for specific information in highly specialized interests or fields is constantly increasing.

The focus of a good newsletter is success:

➢ Success in business;

➢ Success in hobbies;

➢ Success in health and happiness...

The information contained in the newsletters should enthusiastically motivate readers to follow the advice.

Since there is a high standard of competition within every aspect of our modern life; people search for ways to be in the know, and use enjoy using that information effectively.

One of the reasons subscribers remain loyal is because they are receiving superior knowledge and what can be gained by it. If a newsletter saves a subscriber thousands of dollars via excellent advice, then it is well worth the subscriber to purchase from you!

People tend to go with what they know.

So if you win the trust of your subscribers by constantly delivering outstanding value, they will naturally equate that to your offerings and business ethics, as well.

Writing Your Sales Letter

2008-07-29T09:40:00.000-07:00

Your sales letter must contain content that will take the prospect on an emotional journey. This is more of an art than a science because your sales letter has to hold the prospect’s attention long enough until he reads till the end of the page and makes a decision or else you will have no new sign ups.

THE KEY POINT to remember is that in network marketing, there are millions of distributors in the same company. What differentiates YOU from other distributors? Why should the prospect join YOU instead of others? This is where the sales letter comes in. YOUR sales letter will differentiate you from the rest.

As a rule of thumb, your sales letter must have relevant content and write as much relevant information needed. Generally, longer sales letters are better than shorter ones because you are GIVING information away freely and you want the prospects to make a well informed decision.

Remember this KEY POINT as it will make or break your business.

You are NOT selling PRODUCTS or OPPORTUNITIES; you are selling SOLUTIONS to a problem or helping others to GAIN or PREVENT LOSS.

Here are 4 principles to remember as outlined by most top copywriters:

(1) WHY SHOULD OR DO I WANT TO BUY YOUR PRODUCT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Expose his pain or concern. If you can’t even answer this question, your chance of procuring the sale is ZERO.

(2) EVEN IF I DO WANT TO BUY IT – WHY SHOULD I BUY IT FROM YOU, AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE?

Over here you may outline some of the benefits of joining the COMPANY, but most important of all, you should never forget to promote YOU. People join YOU and not the company. You must show him that you have the right credentials.

(3) OKAY, SO IF I DO WANT TO BUY IT FROM YOU, WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU AT THE PRICE YOU’RE ASKING?

You must justify why the customer should pay you the price you are asking then you will have a good chance of a sign up. Try to show him that actually what you are asking for is much less than its actual value. (e.g would you rather spend less on supplements or pay more for dialysis or heart transplant?)

(4) WHY SHOULD I BUY IT NOW – AND NOT LATER?

Is there a good reason for your prospect to buy the product NOW instead of later? Chances are if he does not buy from you now, he will never buy it later. One way is to his immediate response is to provide him with bonuses or free training materials.

Once you have answered all these questions, you will have a high chance to get a new customer or a new distributor. Then you can follow-up with him off-line and build the relationship with him and train him.

Buying Versus Selling

2008-07-29T09:34:00.000-07:00

The Internet is designed more for the buyer’s mentality. Why do I say that? The Internet gives its users privacy. They usually surf whatever they want by themselves and they can purchase their own goods without the need to meet with other people like in a supermarket.

Take the example of door-to-door salesmen or salesmen who go table-to-table. THEY approach you and you normally wouldn’t want to buy from them. You would be thinking in your heart, “Why are you selling me something? If I wanted what you are selling, I would have bought it MYSELF already!” See the difference between buying and selling?

People love to buy. They don’t like to be sold to.

On the Internet, don’t focus on pitching the opportunity. Rather, pitch information on HOW TO or arouse the curiosity of the buyer. People will look for something to buy so they can SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS. By understanding this key point, you will see how to funnel targeted traffic or good quality prospects for your opportunity.

After a while, they will request more information or look in deeper on how to solve their problems. How do you work this out?

Take these two scenarios for instance:

SCENARIO 1

Distributor: Hi, I’m from ABC Company. We specialize in health supplements. Do you value your health in general?

Prospect: Of course I do (What kind of no-brainer question is that? Of course health is important to me).

Distributor: Great! Now our range of products help to solve high blood pressure, lose weight, relieve constipation, etc. Do you have any particular area of concern in these health areas?

Prospect: Err… yeah, kind off but not really a big concern. (What? Do you want me to imply that I am sick or something? I do have these problems but I don’t think I want to share these with you because I don’t really know you so well.)

Distributor: Here is our catalogue. You will be able to find it will solve all kinds of health problems. My contact number is here and you can also check out their website. You can really make lots of money in the health industry through this fantastic opportunity!

Prospect: Okay. Thanks. I’ll give you a call once I look at it. I really gotta go now, see ya. (Trying to get rid of the distributor and the catalogue goes into the bin or somewhere he won’t bother to look at it again.)

Note: The prospect is being sold to. I am not saying the distributor is not doing a good job. Maybe the prospect may be having a bad day or he had an argument with his wife. Now, let us turn the tables on him.

SCENARIO 2

Here the distributor advertises a small ad in the newspaper where it talks about FREE information on health issues and displays the website address. He could even put an ad in Google.

Next the prospect looks up the ad and follows the link. He sees the information online and the LEAD CAPTURE PAGE request him to type in his e-mail address so he can get more ‘expert’ advice.

The autoresponder gives him an e-mail with details or reports of health in general and the prospect becomes more interested. The prospect becomes EDUCATED. Two things can happen here if he is interested.

He decides to purchase a small, detailed health manual to understand more about his body (which becomes a side income for the distributor) or he decides to purchase a trial pack of the actual product.

The prospect gives a call to the distributor who put up the website and asks him questions because he is interested. The distributor then shares the benefits of the product (now the prospect is not being sold to, he is interested in BUYING).

The sale is done and he might even be interested in the OPPORTUNITY because he is so happy with the product.

Note: The prospect is actually the right buyer but he just doesn’t know that this product is for him when he is being SOLD to. By selling to him, the opportunity to gain a new downline or customer might be lost forever.

The other possible thing that can happen is that he is financially constraint at the moment and didn’t have enough time to digest all the information. The sequential autoresponder do the follow-up, giving him a series of e-mails to continually update the prospect. Later on he might either buy the product or contact the distributor for more details.

See how powerful tools can be in Network Marketing? And the best thing of all, you won’t need to pester prospects like a beggar! You will be more like a field expert that is SHARING information rather than SELLING THINGS. This method is actually REJECTION FREE because the prospects come to YOU instead!

Automation: a Networker’s Dream

2008-07-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

In network marketing, people always talk about leverage. But what do we leverage on? People. Since the industrial revolution, people would leverage their efforts on other people. People from the past until now: slaves, serfs, laborers, employees, referrals, affiliates or downline. Everyone has only 24 hours and they use other people’s time in exchange for something else.

Did you know that now you can take this leveraging factor one step further using the Internet?

All because of the simple e-mail.

Notice how a simple e-mail can produce a sale for you without making a phone call, looking for your friends, or driving all the way to Starbucks to buying your prospect a drink.

An AUTORESPONDER is a tool that sends a pre-written e-mail or script, tailored towards the prospect’s details (Name, content, address and message) for him to be pitched about your product or your opportunity. Without getting out of your chair, you can set up a web page and anyone who requires more information can enter his name, email address and phone number.

You can get these leads by setting up a LEAD CAPTURE PAGE. These pages can be written in the form of a sales letter. They will do the selling for you 24-7 even while you are sleeping.

People who purchase your business or product online will be able to use the product IMMEDIATELY if it is a digital product. If it is a physical product, the network marketing company usually arranges shipping or delivery.

If they prospect doesn’t purchase the product but instead enters his details in the webpage, the SEQUESTIAL AUTORESPONDER will send a series of e-mails to the prospect for two purposes: providing additional information and follow up. They will keep receiving these emails until they either BUY something from you or request the system to remove them off their mailing list.

Do you realize how POWERFUL using the INTERNET will help your network marketing business grow LEAPS AND BOUNDS?

Imagine. Most people will only be able to meet a limited number of prospects in a day (traveling takes time and people will only see you at their convenience). On the Internet, your potential clientele is approximately ONE BILLION!

And do you realize that since all the sales pitching, prospecting, and follow-up can be AUTOMATED by a few simple, pre-written emails, it will help save you so much time, you’ll almost laugh yourself silly when you see all the money rolling in!

“This is too good to be true… What’s the catch?”

Well, your networking business doesn’t go on autopilot automatically. You will still need to interact with your downline (they are still your responsibility after all), guide them and most important of all, BEING THEIR FRIEND. No long term business can ever be established without building relationships. People build relationships with their customers (then they will get repeat sales), partners (so their vested interest will always be there), and resellers.

Utilizing the Internet basically takes the heavy load off your back. It is like plowing the field with a tractor instead using animals.

Teaching Downline to Utilize the Internet

2008-07-29T09:24:00.000-07:00

People are normally petrified of change. When new technology pops up people fear becoming obsolete themselves. Let’s face it; there are people who refuse to learn something new. Unfortunately change is inevitable just like death and taxes (or else people would still be riding horses instead of using cars today).

Most people have an e-mail address and you don’t need to be an expert Internet marketer, web-designer or programmer to use all these tools.

The most important thing to do in order to duplicate Internet tools downline (which will help your group expand) is to EMPHASIZE on the COST SAVING and INCREASED SIGN UPS of utilizing the tools.

Most people purchase LEADS or pump their hard earned money into ADVERTISING and drive from place to place spending money on GAS and raking up a huge PHONE BILL. Some of them are already spending so much and they haven’t even made their first check in their BUSINESS!

Internet advertising, emails and forums cost very little to almost NOTHING and you don’t have to drive or make many phone calls. If a person is SERIOUS about building a long term network marketing business, there is no way he would pass up the chance to cut down all these expenses and get the chance to recruit more downline!

Furthermore it is easier to duplicate an online tool than to teach ALL distributors to walk and talk like the leader. Truth be told, not everyone can talk very well, so why not let the Internet do all the ‘talking’ for you?

Rich Media Advertising

2008-07-29T09:20:00.000-07:00

There are many tools available on the Internet that will enhance your network marketing business. For example, you can use live video conferencing to send your message across to your prospects or downline.

One very useful tool that can be used for prospecting is Rich Media Advertising.

How does it work?

Basically, this is a more advanced way of using the Internet to ‘show the plan’. They engage more of the 5 senses rather than focusing on using text and graphics in the sales letter alone.

It displays a video or animation that will take you through as though you are on a journey. The video usually has sounds or someone that will vocally (pre-recorded) explain the benefit of the product or opportunity. Music is also used to give the prospect a very dynamic feeling about the business.

There are usually choices that will strategically funnel the prospect to make a decision towards buying the product or joining the business.

The best thing about this tool is that it has customized features which will allow your newly signed up distributors or downline to DUPLICATE the system EFFORTLESSLY! A good example would be after they sign up, they can send the video to their own prospects but customize the system into changing the name of the prospect or distributor during the presentation (some of them even pronounces your name during the presentation).

Imagine, you won’t need to learn how to be a super salesman or teach that to all your downline. Just learn to utilize the system and you can easily duplicate results in your team!

Top Ten Business Mistakes

2008-07-29T02:30:00.000-07:00

1. Not Enough Capital
Assessing small business start up costs is tricky. Most business owners project operating costs to the point of breakeven. (The breakeven point is when the daily or monthly income from the business equals the daily or monthly expenses to stay in business.) What start up costs should include is all the costs required to open for business, and all the operating costs to the point of profitability. This means instead of figuring start up costs to the ‘breakeven point,’ the point should be when the owner estimates he or she will be able to get paid the minimum salary required.
Estimating start up costs should include these categories:
•Start Up Purchase Costs: Equipment, furniture, insurance, business licenses, etc.

•Reoccurring Services Costs – utilities, telephones, outsourcing, insurance, business licenses, etc. (Notice that some start up costs are also reoccurring costs.)

•Advertising/Marketing Costs – Here are some of the biggest pitfalls for small business owners. Even big businesses often have no idea how much they will need to spend in advertising dollars to bring in enough business. Most can only estimate this based on experience. .

•Product or Inventory Costs
The purchase and/or financing costs of inventory.

•Holding Costs (of Products or Inventory)
if inventory is required, housing, insuring, and handling inventory can become expensive.

2. Spending Too Much
While this seems to be easy to avoid, this is one of the most common start up mistakes. One distinct advantage of the home based business is low overhead, but many of these business owners buy services they don’t really need, or max out their credit cards on equipment, computers, cell phones, PDAs, copiers, printers, and other gadgets
Always be forced into overhead.
Don’t buy anything unless you know you need it.
3. Lack of Knowledge
Most people do not lack the knowledge about the industry they start a business in, but about business in general. Just because you know your stuff at your job, does not necessarily mean you could succeed on your own.
Leaving a job to start a business even in the same industry means:

•You wear all the hats - While on your job you might be responsible for purchasing, in your business you’ll also have to fill all the other roles such as customer service, human resources, management, custodian, delegator, administrator, file clerk, office manager, payroll administrator, consultant, and CEO.

•The buck stops with you – This one is huge. So many people get overwhelmed quickly in their own business because they did not account for the seemingly boundless obligations. At your job, your true responsibilities and liabilities are limited. Mistakes could be another department’s fault, or when a client sues your employer, even if you were involved, you might have no real personal liability. In your own business, the buck stops with you. You have to answer to every dissatisfied customer and deal with every new challenge.
Define what your daily duties will be and make a list of everything you imagine that will be your responsibility.

•Adherence to Law – You need to know what laws your business is subject to. This includes licensing and permits, employees, insurance requirements, tariffs, taxes, payroll withholdings, record keeping, and more.

There is an enormous amount of information required to operate a business.
•Administrative Techniques – including employee, outsourcing, task assignment, prioritizing, and organization.
•Advertising – types, effectiveness, costs, tracking methods, creation,
•Bookkeeping – record keeping
•Financial Analogy and Forecasting – profit and loss statement and balance sheet interpretation
•Law
•Marketing
•Personnel Management
•Product or Service
•Trends

4. Not Adequately Defining the Market
A small business can easily exhaust all capital in advertising. Whether it’s traditional print ads or pay per click, if the target market is not reached, the mistake could be realized too late.

5. Mismanagement
New small business owners often start without a plan or fail to follow their plan. Learning to prioritize, organize, and improvise can be new to people who have not worked in previous management positions.

6. Not Having Contacts and Services in Place
There is nothing worse than needing a contact for a business transaction, and losing the deal before you can find the help. Having no or poor subcontract services can leave you scrambling to find help. This search alone can be enough to hurt a small business.
When in a pressure situation, many owners take shortcuts, make poor decisions, and choose subpar services.

7. Ineffective Marketing
This is mistake can include inefficient marketing, poor content, ill timed advertising, wrong target market, and overspending, and many more.
Learning your market and how to get business could be the most important aspect. Having more than enough business can compensate for mistakes or shortcomings in other areas.

8. Failing to Rectify Mistakes
Sometimes business owners fail to recognize mistakes, but even worse, when they do spot them, they do nothing. This happens for several reasons.
If the business owner has come from an employment position, many times he or she does not fully grasp that the buck now stops with them. They are used to someone else taking the responsibility. These owners often become immobilized in the face of a blunder, and do nothing. This is where a business mentor can be a lifesaver. Every new business owner should have one or more seasoned business owners to turn to in turbulent waters. Preferably, this person should be a home-based business owner who is or has been in the same or a similar industry. Before you go into business, mentor contacts should be established.

9. Refusing to Delegate
Small business owners are usually ‘take charge’ people. They know their businesses better than anyone else and can do most every job. In the beginning and as their business grows, these owners often retain duties and responsibilities far beneath their capabilities and not in the best health of the business. As if the Captain of the ship refused to give up swabbing the deck, because he felt no one could swab a deck like him, these owners hold on to tasks. Many a business ship has run aground with clean decks.
As a small business owner, you must decide which jobs would be better off delegated or outsourced.
Do not hang on to any duty, which would be better delegated.
Some people might do the job differently than you, but effectively reach the same results.

10. Time Management
Time is money. There are so many distractions in today’s world of business and a home based business is no exception. Few people manage their time effectively. All the conveniences such as cell phones, PDA’s, email, RSS News feeds, the Internet, online meetings, software updates, and online bill pay, can consume your time if not used wisely. The home based business can even face additional interruptions from family and chores.
You have to be self motivating.
When you're an employee, you have a job description and someone is usually telling you what to do, directly or indirectly. You will be in charge of your own actions as a small business owner. You can't just wait for business to happen. Becoming self motivated, the kind of discipline need to run a small business, can be a tough adjustment for people coming from long term employment.
Starting a business takes enormous energy. You can't afford to just coast along, go through the motions, or get burnt out. If you feel like quitting, you can’ give a two week notice and leave, without losing your investment and future income. Many new small business owners cannot even afford vacations or holidays for several years.
You have to be aware.
Again, the employee might not be trained to look for new opportunities. As a business owner, this is imperative. The chance to get new customers, move into a new market, offer a new product or service, could be missed if you’re not aware.

You need to adjust to uncertainty.
As an employee you are pretty much guaranteed a regular paycheck. As an entrepreneur, there's no guarantee.
You will deal with the uncertainty of the fluctuations of the economy, slow accounts receivable, surprise expenses, loss of clients, changes in technology, and trends.
So what’s the good news? You can learn or acquire the skills and traits needed to start and run your own business. You will not have a boss; you will be calling the shots. The successes of your business will belong to you. The freedom to earn in relation to your input can be invigorating.

Press Release and SEO

2008-07-29T02:24:00.002-07:00

How to Write a Press Release

2008-07-29T02:22:00.001-07:00

While a professional writer is optimal, you need to know the basic format and important characteristics of a press release. In order to be considered for inclusion in the news, these three characteristics must be present.
Your press release must have:

• News value- Evaluate the news medium where the release will be sent. Make sure that the subject will match the typical content of this particular news outlet.
• Journalistic writing style- Your press release needs to be written in the style of a journalist so that it is ready to be published.
• Meet the deadline- If a news outlet has a deadline for receiving content, meet it. Late press releases are not considered.
• Concise: Writing for a press release must be concise and able to be scanned. Use short sentences. Paragraphs should contain only three to four sentences. Use subheads, bulleted lists, make keywords bold, etc. to create an easy-to-read document.

A good press release will use keywords in the title and then repeat them in the opener, the body, and the bio. The body of the text is often written in an inverted pyramid style, so the most important information is at the top. The goal is to answer the who, what, when, where, why, and how.
The format of a press release includes:
• Contact Information- Usually found on the top left-hand corner of the page. Include your complete contact information (name, address, phone, e-mail, and fax) to allow for a reporter to contact you at any time. The reporter might have questions. This allows for easy access to the information that he or she may need to reach you.
• Date- Typically on the right-hand side of the page, one line lower than the end of the contact information.
• Release Date- Directly underneath the date, explain when the information should be released. (Example- “For Immediate Release”)
• Headline- Just like a newspaper article, include a headline. This is typically in all capital letters and underlined.
• Dateline- Include the location of the story. Some choose to include the date here rather than at the top of the page.
• Body- The main paragraphs of the text.
• Call to Action- Include briefly at the end of the text an action that you want the audience to take. It can be as simple as directions to go to a website for further information.
• Bio- A short paragraph describing your company.
• Slug- This is at the bottom of the page and alerts the journalist of the end of the story. If at the bottom of a page, the story continues to a new page, use “-more-" to convey this message. When the story reaches an end, denote it with “-###-" or "-30-".
Every press release must end with a bio. Prepare a short paragraph that generically explains who you are. This paragraph tells your audience what value you give to them. A bio is not about boasting.

You could also direct the reader to resources with a link, to your company’s website in this section. Write a custom bio each press release, tailored to that particular subject.
Always, double check for spelling errors, grammar mistakes, and factual errors. Finally, make sure you send the press release to the appropriate contact.

Starting Your Blog

2008-07-29T02:21:00.001-07:00

Keep your blog organized and attractive.
Who is your audience? Who are your readers? How often will you be posting to your blog? How often will your average reader be visiting your site? Think about the type of content you will be writing and what the best way to organize it will be. Ask yourself if your blog should be more date oriented or category oriented. And make sure you ask these questions from your reader’s point of view.
Keep your blog postings relevant. Your blog should have some kind of theme or topic. Every time you post something on your blog, ask yourself if it’s relevant.
Don’t just fill your blog up with content. Consider who you are trying to attract then stay with your topic and don’t lose focus. Write for the reader, not the writer.
Customize your template and keep your bog organized. Everything you need to know to customize your blog can be found online. To organize by date or to organize by content. If your blog is just a diary, you write about anything and everything, it’s an update, news, or latest goings on of your business or personal life then a date organized blog is usually best. If you are developing your blog into a site of resources or providing content that will be valuable weeks from now, then organize by category. Again, think about how your visitors will use your site and what will be easiest for them. If you think they may find value in your previous posts, make it easy for them to find those posts.
Blogs have easy to plug in categories and calendars, so use them! Set up a handful of categories on your blog and remember you can easily change them as you begin to develop your blog. Also, organize your calendar.
Use a search form. A search form enables your visitors to easily find exactly what they are looking for. You do not want your visitors coming to your site in search of a post they saw and then force them to wade through post after post to find it. Using a search form is easy to use and is default on most blog templates.
Don’t make your visitors blindly click links on your blog to find what they are looking for. Make the categories and titles of your posts as descriptive as you possibly can. Following this single tip will make a huge difference, especially once your site has numerous postings.
Make a clear navigational path for all parts of your blog. Just like a website, you need to make a directory of your blog. You want to make it easy for your visitors to find all the categories, as well as additional pages of your blog.
Left or right side navigation? Placement on either side will work. You can even do both.
Keep your blog simple and to the point. Keep your blog layout focused on what your readers and visitors want it will reflect a layout and organization that fits them.

Blogging

2008-07-29T02:17:00.000-07:00

Bloggers are becoming an important factor to Internet marketing. Bloggers are taking advantage of this communication technique, and some will be rivals and others will be allies. For this reason, it is important to identify the blogs that are capable of spreading a positive image about your business.

Bloggers can be important to your industry; therefore creating a positive relationship could lead to a better outlook on your company or organization. By treating the blogger with respect, it is likely to form a mutually beneficial relationship.

Social Bookmarking

2008-07-29T01:54:00.000-07:00

If you do any blogging then you should be utilizing the power of social bookmarking. Social bookmarks are icon links or links to sites where users are able to save articles for themselves and share them with other users.
Social bookmarking sites store lists of Internet resources users have found useful by category, tags, or randomly. These bookmarked sites and pages can be shared with other people who have similar interests.
These links can also be organized by user defined keywords or tags (called folksonomy). Resources can be rated by users, include email links, have comments added, be sorted by popularity and algorithms that draw inferences from other keyword references, and participate in automated notification systems.
Social bookmarking links can be included in your press section and press releases.
Social bookmarking is a way for people to bookmark and share a web page with others. There are many social bookmarking services which allow users to add web pages to their bookmark list.

As a blog owner you benefit from having someone add a page from your site to their social bookmark list. Your web page then becomes search-able in the entire bookmark directory, which is available to all members of the service. People will also be inclined to share it with others! This is a great way to build your blog’s audience and increase exposure.
By providing a special link, visitors can add a page from your website to their social bookmark list. There are now over fifty different services available to manage social bookmarks.
If you’ve been in the blogosphere you have no doubt seen these images at the end of articles and posts.

There are icon image links to social bookmarking services. Add these icon images to the bottom of your blog posts with links.

Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line

2008-07-22T21:47:00.003-07:00

In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.
If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage.
Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.
Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche, they are more inclined to making that purchase. On the other hand, if you are not exuding any confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product or service which is more believable.
How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. Display prominent testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course.
Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention. Besides, you would not want to sound unprofessional and have that thinking stick to your potential customers and clients, now would you? Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time.
And remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to experts and may already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands worth of money to your promotions. But if you don’t, they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors and what they are offering.
While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promoting your won products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some information about your products or services.
Before you add recommendations to you product, it is given that you should try and test the product and support. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to destroy it is one big mistake on your part.
If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. Test the product support before you begin to ensure that the people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when a problem suddenly arouse.
Have a look at your affiliate market and look at the strategies you are using. You may not be focusing on the recommendations that your products need to have. You plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program works.
Try product recommendation and be among those few who have proven its worth.

Here's How To Avoid The 3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes

2008-07-22T21:47:00.001-07:00

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways of earning some money online. This program gives everybody a chance to make a profit through the Internet. Since these affiliate marketing programs are easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a regular basis, more an more people are now willing in this business.

However, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing business. Committing some of the most common mistakes will cost the marketers a large portion taken from the profit they are making everyday. That is why it is better to avoid them than be regretful in the end.

Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate.

Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try top choose a product in which you are truly interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out your actions.

Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings only.

Mistake number 2: Joining too many affiliate programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.

True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them.

The result? The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the income generated will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would. The best way to get excellent result is by joining just one program that pays a 40% commission at least. Then give it your best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is already making a reasonable profit, then maybe you can now join another affiliate program.

The technique is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush into things, especially with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real bright and it seems affiliate marketing will be staying for a long time too.

Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.

As an affiliate, you main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service and to find customers. For you to achieve this purpose, you must be able to relay to the customers that certain product and service. It is therefore difficult for you to do this when you yourself have not tried these things out. Thus, you will fail to promote and recommend them convincingly. You will also fail to create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are offering.

Try the product or service personally first before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it is really delivering what it promises. If you have done so, then you are one of the credible and living testaments aware of its advantages and disadvantages. Your customers will then feel the sincerity and truthfulness in you and this will trigger them to try them out for themselves.

Many affiliate marketers makes these mistakes and are paying dearly for their actions. To not fall into the same situation they have been in, try to do everything to avoid making the same mistakes.

Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and check if youa re in the right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program and earn higher profits.

Easy Profits Using PPC In Your Affiliate Marketing Business

2008-07-22T21:46:00.003-07:00

PPC is one of the four basic types of Search Engines. PPC is also one of the most cost-effective ways of targeted internet advertising. According to Forbes magazine, PPC or Pay Per Click, accounts to 2 billion dollars a year and is expected to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008.

Let us take a quick look at how PPC Search Engines work.

These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the website owner is willing to pay for each click from that search engine. Advertisers bid against each other to receive higher ranking for a specific keyword or phrase.

The highest bidder for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as number 1 in the PPC Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear prominently on the results pages based on the dollar amount bid you will agree to pay per click.

How do you make money by using PPC into your affiliate marketing business?

Most affiliate programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has clickthrough your site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on the web site content and the traffic market.

The reason why you should incorporate PPC into your affiliate marketing program is that earnings are easier to make than in any other kind of affiliate program not using PPC. This way, you will be making profit based from the clickthroughs that your visitor will make on the advertiser’s site. Unlike some programs, you are not paid per sale or action.

PPC can be very resourceful of your website. With PPC Search Engines incorporated into your affiliate program, you will be able to profit from the visitor’s who are not interested in your products or services. The same ones who leave your site and never comes back.

You will not only get commissions not only from those who are just searching the web and finding the products and services that they wanted but you will be able to build your site’s recognition as a valuable resource. The visitors who have found what they needed from you site are likely to come back and review what you are offering more closely. Then they will eventually come back to search the web for other products.

This kind of affiliate program is also an easy way for you to generate some more additional revenues. For example, when a visitor on your site does a search in the PPC Search Engine and clicks on the advertiser bided listings, the advertisers’ account will then be deducted because of that click. With this, you will be compensated 30% to 80% of the advertisers’ bid amount.

PPC is not only a source of generating easy profits; it can also help you promote your own site. Most of the programs allow the commissions received to be spent for advertising with them instantly and with no minimum earning requirement. This is one of the more effective ways to exchange your raw visitors for targeted surfers who has more tendencies to purchase your products and services.

What will happen if you when you integrate PPC into your affiliate program?

PPC usually have ready-to-use affiliate tools that can be easily integrated into your website. The most common tools are search boxes, banners, text links and some 404-error pages. Most search engines utilize custom solutions and can provide you with a white-label affiliate program. This enables you, using only a few lines of code, to integrate remotely-hosted co-branded search engine into your website.

The key benefits? Not only more money generated but also some extra money on the side. Plus a lifetime commissions once you have referred some webmaster friends to the engine.

Think about it. Where can you get all these benefits while already generating some income for your site? Knowing some of the more useful tools you can use for your affiliate program is not a waste of time. They are rather a means of earning within an earning.

Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.

In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.

This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.

If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.

Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.
