The 60 Second Weekly Tip
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Here is a handy script that allows you to redirect your
visitors from one page to another.

Simply place the below script in between the HEAD tags of your
web page and alter the “5″ to whatever timeframe in seconds
you chose…
(just make sure to delete the space between < and meta or it
won’t work)

< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5";url=http://www.YOURPAGE URL.com">

Why would you need to do this?

Suppose you initially send your visitors to a page that
promotes your ezine, with the specific purpose of capturing
your visitors contact details (which I hope you already
have). Once your visitor completes and submits this form
you should thank them for subscribing, as well as provide
any additional details they may need to know.

However, you should also forward them to your home page
so that you can provide them with additional resources or
products for their enjoyment or information.

This is were a refresh script is handy. It allows you to
initially forward them to one page… and then
automatically redirect them to another page, after a pre-
determined time, without them having to lift a finger.

Are You Really Ready to Build an Online Business?

Regardless of what you may have heard or believe, creating
an online business is without question one of the best ways
the average person can earn extra income.

You could say that it’s the perfect way for you to create
an additional stream of income or to replace your existing
income, while still having the flexibility of spending
quality time at home with your family or loved ones.

How much money you make depends on how much you are
committed to making it happen.

If you just want to make a few extra bucks to supplement
your existing income, so that you can pay the bills or
take the family on holidays, then you don’t need to commit
as much time as someone who wants to earn a full-time
income.

But I’ll be perfectly honest with you… in the initial stages,
creating the foundations for a solid and successful online
business can be down right difficult, time consuming and
frustrating.

Most people give up well before the point of breakeven and
as a result only a small percentage of people are able to
convert their enthusiasm into REAL profits.

However, if you put in the hard yards early and you’re
prepared to persevere until you reach your goals of
creating a solid online business for yourself, the booty
can be very significant and rewarding!

So that begs the question…

Why is it that some people are able to make more money
than they’ll ever need virtually on demand, while others
try for years with little or no reward?

What is it that gives these “winners” the edge over
others? What is it that they do differently that turns them
into towering successes rather than plunging them into the
depths of despair?

This is one of the most asked questions I receive and
surprisingly there is a very simple answer - and it’s not
what you think.

If you think that all you need to do is join the latest
“hands-free” magical program that is being promoted and
then laze back in your favorite chair and do nothing
except count the moolah that’s piling up in you bank
account, then you’re going to be bitterly disappointed.

This is one of the biggest myths online and hundreds of
people get caught with this trap and loose their money
every single day. In the end these people finally realize
that they’ve been duped and a short time later they give up
their foray into creating an online business.

But most importantly, sadly the hopes and dreams of
average hard working honest people are shattered forever -
and this is the real travesty!

The truth is that there is no such thing as “magic bullet”
programs where you don’t have to do anything to make
money. If it were this easy we’d all be living the life of
luxury.

But there’s no need to panic. All is not lost…

If you follow one simple rule that you’re about to
discover… You CAN make money online!

This rule is not a “secret” scientific breakthrough that
will be chronicled forever in the archives of time. Nor is
it an exclusive breaking story that will make the prime
time news and win someone a Pulitzer Prize.

However it IS the most important rule you will ever learn,
regardless of the endeavours you are involved in.

Basically the gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots”
is not as great as you may think and creating an unlimited
amount of success is purely a matter of implementing one
simple thing…

The key to achieving real success in ANY venture is simply
a matter of…

… TAKING ACTION!

I personally know people who spend up to 40 hours per week
(over and above their day job), and many hundreds of
dollars per year, learning new methods and strategies to
build/create their businesses - yet they still struggle to
make any decent money online.

On the other hand, I know others who only spend a few
hours a day on their business, yet they’re super successful
and living the life that others only dream of.

The difference is that the first group are procrastinators
that have Analysis Paralysis. While they have all the
information they will every need to build an online
business, they are unable to mentally “pull the trigger”.

All they concentrate on is analyzing the information they
have and thinking of reasons why they can’t make a go of it
or waiting for just the right moment… instead of just
doing it!

The second group on the other hand are in complete
contrast to the first group.

They have quickly realized that if you’re serious about
creating an online income you have to be prepared to spend
a bit of time to focus on what you need to do to achieve
your goals… and then DO IT by taking action to implement
what you have learned.

The secret to this approach is to take small baby-steps by
breaking your goals into smaller puzzle like pieces and
then focusing on one piece of the puzzle at a time to
eventually fit all the pieces together to create the bigger
picture.

Think of it like trying to eat and elephant. It’s physically
impossible to eat an elephant in one sitting. So you need to
cut it into smaller bite size pieces and then start eating it one
bite at a time.

It’s then just a matter of COMMITTING yourself to a course
of ACTION to achieve the desired outcome for each smaller
piece of the puzzle.

If you’re deadly serious and willing to spend time (and
money) to implement the strategies you learn to build your
business you WILL make money online!

But don’t start from scratch. Get your automated Online Business
today and customize it to perfectly match your needs. This is the
best way to get started.

Simple Ways to Get Your Site Spidered Fast

The world of Internet marketing is a highly competitive
place. As a beginning Internet marketer there are some
basic rules you should learn about how search engines
spider and index your web site.

Firstly, unless the search engines are able to find your
web site, there is no way the general public will ever know
that it even exists.

So your first priority after you have created your web
site and chosen the products or services you want to
provide is to get your site listed with the search engines.

So as part of your overall marketing strategy it is important
to include a plan to get your website spidered and indexed
as quickly as you can.

Obviously in order to get your site indexed you must first
let the search engine spiders know you are there.

So how can you lure the spiders to your site other than
using manual submitting to the search engines, which is not
a preferred method as this can actually harm your chances
of getting listed quickly.

The good news is that the following methods are much more
successful than submitting your pages directly to the
search engines…

The fastest method of getting your site indexed in super
quick time is to link your web site to another site that is
already indexed, is related to your site and is spidered
frequently.

As a rule of thumb, if a website has a Google Page Rank of
4 or above (the higher the better), the search engine
spiders visit these site on a regular basis, oftentimes
daily. So if you can get a link to your site from one of
these pages it will vastly increase your chances of getting
spidered and indexed quickly.

The best method to get a link from these sites is to
simply approach the site owner to create a reciprocal link
exchange with them.

It is recommend that you first place a link to their site
on your site and then send them a quick message requesting
a link exchange, advising them that you have already added
their link to your page.

If the owner of the site is pro-active in building links
they will generally agree to your request, provided your
site is complimentary or relevant to their own.

Another excellent method of getting the spiders to visit
is to create a blog that is relevant to the topic of your
site and then place a link on the blog back to your home
page so that the spiders have a direct path to follow.

If you do this and then use the “tag and ping” technique
each time you post content to your blog, your site can be
spidered very quickly… in as little as 48 hours!

Other alternative methods you can use to get spidered
include more traditional proven methods such as writing
articles for the various article directories or submitting
posts in popular forums.

Both these strategies have proven to be a very successful
way of not only getting indexed, but also in generating
quality traffic to your site.

Writing and submitting articles is without question the
number one method of generating hundreds of links back to
your site and it should definitely be part of your overall
marketing plan.

If you choose to post on forums, do not to spam. Find a
forum that is highly relevant to your site topic, follow
the forum posting rules, posts regularly with helpful
advice and do not go overboard on your “sig file”.

But just a word of warning… some forums are not that
popular which will have a major impact on how often the
search engine spiders visit their pages, so make certain
that the forums where you post have plenty of activity.

Once you have been able to get your home page spidered,
you will need a good site map that lists the links to every
page on your site to allow the spiders a clear path to find
and index all your pages.

If your site consists of over one hundred pages, consider
using a multi-page site map and make certain that every
site map page links to each of the other site map pages.

But most importantly, make sure that your pages are simple
and free of useless clutter and comply with standard HTML
coding standards, especially your home page. Before putting
your site up you should always make sure that your HTML
validates at… http://validator.w3.org

Getting your website spidered and indexed quickly is the
most important thing you can do to achieve success as an
Internet marketer and using the methods suggested above can
be very helpful in getting your website listed in ultra
fast time.

One-Time Offers are a very fantastic way of boosting your sales as well as increase them. If you sell an ezine or an ebook, this strategy is a very excellent way of attracting and catching the attention of your customers and clients. This would most likely have an impact on your website and also allow you to promote and advertise it as well. Plus, you will have a wider circle of affiliates and associates.

Who knows, your potential partners may just be waiting for you at any instant. So it is a must that you are prepared ahead of time. With this, you can offer your customers these special offers. You can offer them a real time offer and this will increase your online business’ sales and products as well.

However, you want each client to buy the offer right away so as to compensate and go with the marketing strategy as planned. So the customer should have a real one-time offer so that she will be obliged to buy the special offer. In addition, she would have the interest in checking and visiting your web site again and again.

These forms of special offers could be in discounts, packages, and many other forms. Like for example you, sell an ebook for $50. You could give a very special discount of lets say, $14. So the tendency of your visitors and customers would be to buy the ebook as soon as possible.

This is just one of the special offers you could formulate. And all of these special and one-time offers can be found and created in one script. This is none other than OTO or One Time Offer.

What it only needs to be able to run on your server is a PHP script and a MySQL database. There are so many things and benefits you can get from this wonderful script. You can create as many special one-time offers as you want and you can show, display, and run them on any server.

Moreover, you can also offer a recommendation option for every One-Time Offer so your visitors and clients can advocate and advise your special offer to their group of friends and acquaintances.

Moreover, you can use your one-time offer in a page or note by means of a javascript code. As a result, you will be able to incorporate and include any HTML code or script to show and display your special one-time offers. Moreover, you can also assign and allocate a URL to a OTO whenever you want to.

In this way, your visitors and clients can click on that one-time offer only once and that’s it. Furthermore, the actual or real URL of that link will be hidden and not shown. Also, you will be able to see how many instances and times that your special offer has been displayed.

Additionally, this can serve as a visitor’s counter. This would eventually count the number of customers or potential clients that have visited your web site. OTO does the job for you without any effort. It automatically gives you the order ratio as well as the number of sales that is predicted and estimated to come out.

It divides the number of visitors with the completed sales and actually computes your order ratio. No other solution can be found for you except for OTO. All of these are simply and wonderfully done by one package.

Plus, it gives you a guarantee. You will be given 30 days to test the script yourself. However, if you are not satisfied with the product, you can simply log a refund ticket and you will instantly get your money back. It is that simple.

So if you are planning to have an online business, you can purchase this to further increase your sales in no time. In addition, those who already have their online business going are still advised and recommended that you get this product right away to boost your marketing sales and further promote your deals online immediately.

It does not matter whether you are a newbie or a professional. This can be easily installed. Even a person who does not know much about computers and stuff can install this. The step-by-step instruction allows you to set up the One Time Offer script right away.

Content is the most important factor in drawing traffic to your web site. Internet marketing requires more than just developing a web site and hoping for the best.

Providing useful content is imperative to the success of your Internet marketing endeavors. There are several ways content can boost your sales, bring visitors to your web site, and increase your profits.

Internet marketers must place the appropriate keywords on their web sites if they expect a high ranking in the search engines. Depending on the nature of your business, finding the most searched for terms on a particular topic will bring visitors to your site.

You must provide fresh content on a regular basis if you expect the search engines to find you. You can also increase your subscriptions and your clientele by regularly updating the content on your web site.

By offering free reports or informational publications you will increase your customer base. People love to receive free bonuses, and by offering them to new subscribers or clients you will surely attract new business.

You can create additional cash flow by using an auto responder to send out multi-part newsletters containing links to affiliate programs or web sites. Your subscribers will love the constant information and they will be drawn to the links you provide.

Training courses and multi-part newsletters serve as excellent freebies for prospective clients. Simply having a mailing list is not enough to find success in the Internet marketing industry. You must build a relationship with your subscribers and actively seek out new subscribers.

As an Internet marketer, sending out new content in the form of informational articles will establish your expertise in your particular area of business and will allow you to gain the trust of your subscribers.

The result will be that your subscribers will be anxious to pay for the services or products you offer. Make sure to not take advantage of this trust by offering low quality products. You will quickly lose the trust you have gained if you do not offer the best your business has to offer.

Internet marketing has one constant rule. A list of subscribers is money in the bank. Cultivate your list with new content and special offers. Affiliate programs and link sharing are excellent money making tools for Internet marketers.

By providing new content on a regular basis, you can keep the interest of your subscribers and gain their trust as an expert in your field. Keep your mailing list up to date and offer special promotions and freebies to your subscribers.

Success in Internet marketing consists of more than developing web sites and waiting for the traffic to flow. You must offer unique content and attractive incentives if you want your business to profit.

Many Internet marketing businesses have failed due to lack of updated content. Your web sites must be constantly updated with new content in order to draw the attention of the major search engines. Keep this in mind when cultivating your mailing list.

You can keep the interest of your subscribers by offering free information and offers of free training courses. Your subscribers will love the attention and the expertise you share with them. Internet marketing is a great way to put money in the bank.

Just be certain you are providing valuable, new information to keep your subscribers interested.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Why Using Bulk Emails Will Destroy Your Online Business

I am sure that you have definitely come across ads that
read: “1,000,000 email contacts for just $29.99″. And they
may even off to deliver the names in a CD directly to your
doorstep.

This is a trap for the newbie. You know that you need to
get a big list to make it online, so rather than using more
conventional methods that can take many months, you decide
to take a shortcut to build you list.

Stop!

Whatever you do, DO NOT be conned into grabbing these
emails. Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best
thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer - but
as the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, then
it often is.

What many beginning marketers do not understand is that
bulk email companies harvest the contact details of
unsuspecting people using robots that steal this
information without the webmasters knowledge. This is the
only way they are able to get this huge number of emails
for such a low price - and it’s unlawful.

And the sad part is that if you purchase these so-called
1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste
of money, you are also risk being accused of spamming.

Even if they provide a time and date stamp of when that
the person has opted into someone else’s list, this is
worthless. This is because not a single person on this list
has personally subscribing to YOUR list and given you
permission to send them emails.

So in affect, when you send them your offer by way of
email you are breaking the law and you can be prosecuted or
have your website shutdown by your host indefinitely.

Not only this, but you don’t even know if the people on
the list are real or whether they are even contactable. For
all you know (and this is more than likely the case) these
emails are non-existent and therefore can’t be delivered.

So the next time you read an offer like this, run for the
hills and save your money. There is no substitute for the
real thing, so your best option is to collect your own
email addresses legitimately using proven strategies to
build your own responsive list.

A Day in the Life of an Affiliate Marketer

Being a full-time affiliate marketer is much easier now
compared to the days when people had to make use of the
telephones, bulk mail and other mediums of information just
to contact their readers with their latest content or
promotion.

So with technology at hand, and assuming your are an
affiliate marketer working from home, a day in your life
would sound something like this…

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is
turned on to check out new developments in your niche
markets and to check your emails for important tasks. There
may be new things to update and statistics to keep track of.

The site design has to be revised. You know that a well-
designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can
also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.

That done, it is now time to submit your affiliate program
and an article you have written to the relevant online
directories. These directories are a means of attracting
people in join your list or affiliate program.

Time to track down the sales you are getting from your
promotions. There are orders and emails to track down. See
if there are new clients checking the products out and to
take note of contact information that might be a viable
source in the future.

There are lots of resources to sort out and new products
to review. You need to develop solo ads, or write an honest
product recommendation for your next promotions, as you
know that this is a proven way of ensuring more sales. It
is always best to stay visible and accessible.

You suddenly remember that there are questions to answer
from your visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing
can turn off a customer more than an unanswered email or
slack support responses.

Product inquiries have to be paid more attention. Nobody
wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most
patient of all people. Quick answer should appear professional,
yet personal.

In the process of doing all the necessities, you log into
a forum where you interact with other affiliates or those
who just need help in getting started. This is where you
can discuss things on how to best promote your products,
network with like-minded marketers or brand yourself to
other readers.

Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support.
There may be others out there wanting to join and may be
enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no
harm in taking advantage of these opportunities in forums
if it is done correctly and ethically.

The newsletters and ezines were updated yesterday, so it
is time to see if there are some new developments happening
in the market that you can update your list on. This will
be written as new content, which will be distributed to
your customers tomorrow.

This same content is also an important tool in keeping up
to date with the newly introduced products or strategies
that are working so as to keep your list informed of recent
developments. This helps to build trust and credibility
with your readers.

It is time to show some appreciation to those who have
helped you in your promotions or sales. Nothing like
mentioning a person, their sites and the process they used
to get real results. As they say, the proof is in the
pudding, so it helps credibility if you can prove what you
are teaching actually works by using real life examples.

Of course, this will be published in the next newsletter -
among the more important information that you have written
already.

The marketer still has time to write out recommendations
to those who want credible sources for the products being
promoted, ie a testimonial. (Only do this if you actually
found it beneficial).

There is also time to post some comments on how to be a
successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are
lots of people looking for help, such as popular forums or
blogs, etc.

Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to
promote the product, as well as the program they are in.
Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.

Time flies. You just missed lunch, but you are quite
contented with the tasks done. You’re work is done for the
day. Now it’s time to play. You take the rest of the day
off to relax or spend some time with their loved ones. Take
them out to see a movie or to the park. You’ve earned the
rest.

Ok, so this may not be exactly what most marketers do each
day, but it gives you an idea of how a successful affiliate
marketer spends their time.

All you need do to be in this position is to find a
successful online marketer who has “been there, done that”
and then learn from what they have to teach. But most
importantly you MUST IMPLEMENT what you learn.
think, so give yourself a bit of flexibility to reach your
goals. But if you’re deadly serious and take action, there
is no reason why you too can’t live the lifestyle of an
online marketer.

Is that success looming in the distance?

7 Must Know Landing Page Success Tips

Without question, the best way to grow your own subscriber
list is to convince your visitors to join your subscriber
list through the use of a landing page. Using this method
you can build a very sizable list.

Also known as the “name squeeze page” or “lead capture
page”, you can build your mailing list by funneling all of
your would-be subscribers through the creation of a landing
page. Not only do you do the work just once, your traffic
driving efforts can be focused onto just one effective
method.

The following are tips in creating a successful landing
page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge
percentage.

Success Tip 1: Offer a freebie of perceivable value 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 visitor joining your list.

Success Tip 2: The landing page must be written in a
professional manner. When writing your page, treat it as if
you are writing a sales letter for a paid product. While
you are not necessarily trying to make a hard sale or
trying to get someone to buy your product upfront, enticing
your visitors to give you their is just as important as
selling.

Success Tip 3: Other than your opt-in form and perhaps
important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any
other links on your landing page to distract them from
taking the action you want them to take, which should be to
optin to your list.

Success Tip 4: Rub in the benefits of what 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 and how they can benefit from doing this. 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.

Success Tip 5: As a final reminder and conclusion, in
order 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.

Success Tip 6: After your visitor subscribes to your list,
have them redirected to a thank you page that explains that
they will be receiving a confirmation email where they need
to click on the link in this email to confirm that they
agree to receive further emails from you. (this is called
“double optin and protects you again future spam complaints)

Success Tip 7: On your thank you page, also provide a
special “one time only” discounted offer for a product your
own or are promoting. Explain that if they pass on this
offer they will never see again - and mean it.

You’d be surprise at how responsive people can be if you
can provide them with a solution to their needs, while
creating a sense of trust and enough urgency to convince
them to take action.

Search Engine Optimization can be the difference between a small, barely profitable or visible website and a traffic magnet website.

There are so many ways, both good and bad, to acquire links to be able to drag traffic to your sites. Some sites react to certain strategies better than others.

Some even have conflicting strategies that they react to. To document all of these things would require a significant number of pages and research that goes beyond the scope of this article. So we have just listed below some legal ways to be able to acquire good traffic to your site.

Write articles for others to use in their newsletters or as content for their sites. You can dramatically increase your visibility when you write articles in your area of expertise and distribute them to editors as free content. Just ask for a visible link to your website and include it in the lower end of the article. This is an effective viral approach that can produce hundreds of links to your site over time.

Another good way to bring traffic to your site is to issue press releases. This is one linking strategy that really works; just like articles, you have to find newsworthy events such as launching your free services. You then send a news release to print and web periodicals in your industry.

The links to your site in online news databases may remain for years and have some clout with link popularity. However, opening or redesigning a website is seldom newsworthy these days. You may want to use a Web news release service such as PR Web.

Placing your website URL in online copies of your press release may increase link popularity some. Issuing press releases is a traditional promotional strategy, but there are other traditional approaches that can help you as well.

Blogs have gone a long way when it comes to marketing strategies. This tool is the latest buzz in the SEO industry. If you want quality links to your site, then start a business blog.

Begin a business blog on your website. If you offer excellent content and regular industry news, people are likely to link to it, increasing your site’s PageRank.

Always make sure when you are sending e-mails to include your site’s URL with your signature, as this helps potential customers to keep in touch with you.

Most e-mail programs such as AOL, Netscape, and Outlook allow you to designate a “signature” to appear at the end of each message you send. Limit it to 6 to 8 lines: Company name, address, phone number, URL, e-mail address, and a one-phrase description of your unique business offering. Look for examples in e-mail messages sent to you.

Buying text ads in Ezines is also a good way to gain exposure. Some of the best buys are small text ads in e-mail newsletters targeted at audiences likely to be interested in the same or similar fields. Many small publishers don’t have sophisticated advertising and offer attractive rates.

Purchase pay-per-click ads. The top ads appear as featured links to the right of “natural” search engine results for your keywords. Your ranking is determined by how much you’ve bid for a particular search word compared to other businesses. This can be a cost-effective way to get targeted traffic, since you only pay when someone actually clicks on the link.

List Your Products on Shopping Comparison Bots and Auction Sites. Shopping bots compare your products and prices to others. Google’s Froogle is free, so be sure to list your products there. A Froogle listing also helps your product page’s ranking on Google.

Advertising in Froogle is cost effective as well. Listing your products in Froogle is a MUST-DO free way to market to thousands of customers. Reaching these customers otherwise might cost you billions of dollars. By listing in Froogle, you save a huge portion of this money.

A key consumer benefit of these sites is the convenience factor whereby consumers can easily assess different product options from different retailers all at once on a single web site.

Froogle provides very specific results. They’ve even taken the time to display the images of the products they’re listing, giving it all a very shop-search-like feel.

Your site may be a virtual masterpiece, but if people don’t know about it and can’t see it, then the money and time that you have invested into it are worthless. Building a powerful online presence is much more than substantial web designs.

Being popular on the Internet is much more than basic web knowledge, it has a great deal to do with search engines and effective linking methods. And speaking of linking methods, there are so many ways to get them, which luckily for you, we have listed in this article.

One of the ways to get links that will bring traffic to your site is by submitting your site to search engines. Submit them to reliable and important search engines that automatically and robotically spider the web. Look for a link on the search engine that says “ADD YOUR URL.”

In the US, the most used search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL Search, and AskJeeves. If you submit and get listed on these sites, there is no doubt that these will feed other search engines with your site, especially in the local area. For Europe and other areas, it is advisable to submit to local listings.

Always remember that it is a waste of time to pay someone to do the submissions for you. Avoid registering on FFA sites, or Free For All pages, and other link farms. Always make sure to check the credibility of the search engine before registering your page into it.

Free sites don’t work well; instead they just bring you lots of spam e-mails and can cause you to be penalized by search engines. If your search engine is already indexed in a certain search engine, don’t resubmit it unless there are significant changes; the search engine spider will come back and revisit it soon anyway.

Since linking from a directory will help your ranking and get you more traffic, be sure to list them in free Open Directory Projects like DMOZ, which is overlooked by human editors.

This hierarchical directory provides content feeds to all the major search engines. Plus, it provides a link to your site from an information hub that Google deems important.

Yahoo! Directory is another important directory to be listed in, though their search results recently haven’t been featuring their own directory as prominently. Real humans will read and too often, pare down your 200-character sentence, so be very careful and follow their instructions.

Somewhat use less than the maximum number of characters allowable, so you don’t have wordy text that will tempt the Yahoo! editor to begin chopping.

You may find some directories focused on particular industries, such as education or finance. Be sure to register with these. You probably belong to various trade associations that feature member sites.

Ask for a link. Even if you have to pay something for a link, it may bring you the kind of targeted traffic from an info hub you need.

Beware of directories that solicit you for “upgraded listings.” Unless a directory is widely used in your field, your premium ad won’t help, but the link itself will help boost your PageRank and hence your search engine ranking. Marginal directories come and go very quickly, making it hard to keep up. Don’t try to be exhaustive here.

Practice reciprocal linking. Find complementary websites and request a reciprocal link to your site, especially to your free service, if you offer one. Develop an out-of-the way page where you put links to other sites, so you don’t send people out the back door as fast as you bring them in the front door.

Your best results will be from sites that get a similar amount of traffic to your site. High-traffic site webmasters are too busy to answer your requests for a link and don’t have anything to gain. Look for smaller sites that may have linking pages.

Only do reciprocal linking with sites that you think are consistent; do not do reciprocal linking with spam sites because this will naturally damage your site’s reputation. There are also directories that ask for reciprocal linking in return for your listing.

You can also make a trade of benefits in your reciprocal linking. If a site is really in theme with your site, ask for a front page – top page listing and have it done for them too. This way you will generate more traffic for each other.

How to Create Your Own Hot in Demand Product

“I’ve heard and read many times that owning your own
product is the key to making huge money online. But how do
you know what product to create? How do you know if it will
sell?”

Does this sound like something you’ve often thought about?

Well here’s the answer that may well shock you…

“Ask your potential customers.”

It’s that simple!

If you have a list, send out a questionnaire or a survey to
find out what it is they find most difficult about a
certain topic. Then compile the results and create a
product that fixes their biggest problem.

If you don’t yet have a list, think of the problems you
are facing and then create a product based on this. The
chances are that others have the same problem.

This answer is so simple that most people overlook it
because it’s seems just too easy. They believe that it
can’t possibly be this simple, so they dismiss it and
continue looking for a more complicated answer.

Bad move!

Regardless of what you believe, Internet marketing is a
very simple process. It’s only when you try to read into it
things that are there does it become complicated.

So keep it simple by creating a survey and find out what
it is the market wants… and then give it to them. All
you need is a very simple one-page survey and a method to
obtain and compile the responses.

Once it is clear what the biggest problem your potential
customers face, start creating your product.

If you can’t or don’t want to write or create your own
content, you have 2 options…

1. Go to any of the service auction sites, such as
Elance or Rentacoder, and then hire someone else to do
the research and write or create your product for you
(the Outsourcing Survival Kit will answer your questions
about freelancers).

2. Find products with rebranding and editing rights
targeted to your niche and then use this content to
compile your own product.

Either way, you can virtually become an instant author
overnight, without the headaches or sleepness nights. So
there really is no excuse as to why you can’t start
generating an online income.

In the end, you’re really only limited to your own
imagination… and you own self-belief. If you’re motivated
and you’re willing to take action… you WILL find a way to
succeed!

Learning From The Most Common Affiliate Mistake

Have you received any emails lately about a brand new niche
product or program that’s really taking the net by storm?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got an inbox
full of emails from heaps of people promoting new sites or
programs.

But have you noticed how all the emails are virtually a
carbon copy of each other?

There’s a huge chance that all they’ve done is simply used
the same sales copy provided by the owner of the site
and they’re just repeating the same message over and over
and over again. The only difference is the affiliate link!

Annoying isn’t it?

This is a BIG mistake that many people make and it’s a
prime example of a basic rules that is commonly broken by
less experienced marketers.

There is a great lesson to be learned from this.

If you’re promoting an affiliate product or program, then
it is imperative that you DO NOT simply cut and paste the
ad copy that is provided to you as an affiliate.

With the number of people promoting products online, this
just doesn’t cut it anymore. The competition is just to
great, so you have to be different… or pay the price!

Just imagine what your subscribers would think if they
received 5 emails promoting the same program… and your
ad copy was exactly the same as everybody else’s.

Do you see where we’re going?

Your subscribers will more than likely think… oh no, not
ANOTHER one!

You know what will happen next don’t you? Yep that’s
right. Your email will immediately be sent where it
deserves to go - straight to the trash bin.

If you’re going to promote an affiliate product (which by
the way can be very profitable) you need to review the
product and then tell your subscribers in your own words
what you thought of it so that you can give them an honest
and informed opinion.

This will also allow you to include a more personal touch
so that it stands out from all the other messages promoting
the same thing. Not to mention gaining the trust and respect
of your subscribers.

Think about it.

If you received multiple emails promoting the same thing and
all but one were just a rehash of each other, which one
would you place your trust in?

The same old bland emails that are obviously a blatant copy
of the ad copy provided by the product owner, which shows
they haven’t even bothered to check out the product, let
alone use it…

… or a recommendation from someone who appears to have
actually used the product and provided a personal and
informed opinion?

Well it’s not really much of a decision is it!

Savvy marketers know this and earn huge commissions by
implementing this strategy. Do you think they would continue
to do this if they weren’t?

You need to play it smart and take note of what the “big
dogs” are doing… and then follow in their footsteps. In
other words, you need to copy what they DO.

And no. We don’t mean copy their work. We mean copy their
IDEAS by creating your OWN ad copy!

If you do this you will definitely see an improvement in
your results. After this it’s just a matter of letting the
sales page do its magic.

If the product has a good sales page and a good conversion
rate, then you’ll definitely see a increase in your profits.

Once you understand the importance of using this technique,
all that’s left to do is to build your subscribers optin
list so that you can increase the amount of targeted
traffic you’re able to drive to your affiliate sites.

It goes without saying that the more eyes you have looking
at your offer, the more profits you’re going to earn!

Yes it sounds like very simple and basic stuff…
that’s because it is! Marketing is not complicated. It’s
only when you try to read too much into it does it become
over complicated and frustrating.

If you remember to keep it simple at all times, the rest
will look after itself.

Effective Marketing Strategies

Finding Highly Motivated Website Traffic

If you’re relatively new to the net and aren’t yet
receiving a constant flow of traffic to your website, then
you need a method of promoting your products to the world
so that you can start to show some profits.

One of the quickest and most cost effective forms of
online advertising is placing solo ads in ezines. Using
this method you can instantly drive targeted traffic to
your website as opposed to other longer term methods.

If you’re unsure what a solo ad is, it’s an advertisement
that promotes a single product by email to a list of ezine
subscribers. It is normally sent to an opt-in subscriber
list with no other competing advertisements or promotion
contained in the email.

You can purchase solo ads for as little as $10 per issue
and if you have an effective ad copy for the appropriate
audience they can often produce astonishing results.

If you select a high quality ezine that has a responsive
list, is highly targeted to your product and your ad is
personally endorsed by the owner of the ezine, the pulling
power of the ad can increase up to 10 times the normal
response rate.

There just isn’t anywhere else that you can get this kind
of bang for your buck when it comes to spending money on
your marketing.

By testing and tracking your ads and expanding into
different ezines on a progressive basis you could quickly
start reaching thousands of people weekly and earning an
income to match.

So which ezines should you place your solo ad?

Unfortunately due to the thousands of different markets
online there is no easy answer to this question.

However I will outline the following tips to help you
decide which ezine is the best suited to your niche to
advertise in from a money and marketing point of view.

First of all let me tell you something that is fairly
obvious yet I see it happen day after day after day.

It is pointless to advertise your product or service in
an ezine that is totally unrelated to your product!

For example… you should not place your ad promoting a
stockmarket program in an ezine about dog grooming. Sure
you might get some replies. You may even receive an order.
But if you want value for money this is not a good place
to advertise. It’s just not targeted to your potential
customers!

The best thing to do is to find ezines that focus on a
similar niche to that of the products or services you are
selling.

If you were promoting a membership site, your potential
customers are people who are either looking for home based
opportunities, wanting to start an online business owners
or are existing Internet business owners.

So the most obvious place to start is to search for
ezines that focus on these niches.

Of course the best place to advertise is where the
competition is! If your competition is promoting their
products in an ezine you can bet that it is targeted to
their (and your) niche. So do your homework.

What results should you expect from running a solo ad?

There’s no set figure as to the type of response you
should receive with solo ads. It’s just too hard to predict
because of other variables that influence your results,
such as a poorly written ad, type of products being
advertised, timing, etc.

But a general rule of thumb is that if you can get at
least 5% of subscribers to click through to your site to
view your product then this is acceptable. So if an ezine
has a list of 10,000 subscribers you should be aiming for a
response rate of at least 500 visits to your website.

I have known some marketing campaigns to achieve as high
as a 60% response rate. So if you have crafted good ad copy
and marketed to a responsive ezine list you can obtain
tremendous results.

A handy tip is to ask the ezine owner for the details of
other website owners who have advertised with them. Then
you can send them a quick email politely asking them if
they were happy with the results of the solo ad they placed
with this ezine and whether they would recommend you use
them.

Another key factor on the success of your campaign will be
determined by how targeted the email list is. In other
words how did the list owner attract their subscribers. Do
they have an opt in email list or did they simply purchase
bulk subscribers from a third party.

If most of these people did not ask to be placed on the
list, do they really care about reading the ezine when it
is sent to them or do they simply hit the delete button
when it arrives. These people will never see your ad.

So it is important to find out how different ezines get
their subscribers!

Another important factor to consider is how many issues
do they send out each week and what content do they provide.

If the ezine owner sends out 5 issues a week and all it
contains is ezine advertising you can bet your bottom
dollar that very few people will actually read the ezine.
More than likely they delete it as soon as it hits their
inbox.

I recommend you actually subscribe to the ezine so you
can view the contents and get a feel for the ezine to see
if it really does cater to your market. If you wouldn’t
read the ezine yourself then there’s a good chance your
potential customers won’t either.

Which ever ezine you choose to advertise in it is
imperative that you track and monitor your results. Very
rarely do you get it right the first time. You must
continually test and tweak your ad to get the maximum
benefit from your advertising dollar.

Money starts from a small mailing list.

Maximize your profit through a small mailing list! You heard it right… All you need is marketing power!

This good news is brought to us by Charlie Page, the owner of the world’s prominent Directory of Ezines. Charlie Page is a distinguished marketer who owns several profitable websites and publishes his own ezine. And now he has written a report that tells the fact on how to make BIG PROFITS from a small mailing list.

The main thing is that he’s worth listening to, since he has been there. Charlie has worked with thousands of ezine publishers and has carefully analyzed what works and what fails.

Charlie even added his own experiences to his implausible report. He took a straight look inside the real world of making money from a small mailing list. And you won’t just get this type of information from reading blogs, forums, articles, or even surfing the web.

For your information, you can actually buy a list of 100,000 subscribers today for about $1000. The question is, are they quality subscribers? Well, Charlie knows that they’re not. In his experience, he bought a list of subscribers from a popular vendor; unfortunately, he made zero sales. He even did exactly what was recommended!

Then, there are also experts who are claiming that you can make money with a small mailing list of 100 subscribers. They even placed some figures to back up their claim. They use these old advertising strategies just to gain customers.

The bottom line here is that, you don’t need to have a huge subscription list if you know what it takes to make profit from a small mailing list.

Starting today, you can create and cultivate your own small mailing list that can bring the automatic profits you want. It is also one way of making your small mailing list highly responsive.

Owning a small mailing list is one of the most profitable things you can do online. Web marketers say that it’s more profitable than writing e-books, getting link partners, and even having the highest Alexa rating.

Building your own small mailing list is an investment that lasts. With a small mailing list, you can make lots of offers and your subscribers will purchase what you recommend. It is also easy to make one, if you know how.

You don’t have to be a guru or spend thousands of dollars to begin profiting from your small mailing list. All you need is to learn how to get subscribers.

That’s exactly what Charlie Page would want to say. According to him, if you’re doing the following, you have the potential for a profitable small mailing list.

1. have your own website
2. generate traffic to your website
3. sell or offer products and services from your site
4. have anyone in your upline
5. have a list of names in your email address book
6. do forum postings
7. send emails

You just need to develop those things for you to be able to make money from your small mailing list.

Your list must be something that you can mail week after week. A list should mean you can advertise your products. Advertising is the life-blood of any mailing list. That is why it is also important that your subscribers know you, like you, and buy from you. But it is recommended that you do not do direct mailings, except to your own subscribers that you have. You can also profit from your list if you know how to schedule your mailings.

Now, would that be possible? Why not? Consider this one fact.

If you get only 100 visitors a day to your web site, and say only 20% of them ask for your information (which means they are subscribing to YOUR mailing list) in a year‘s time, you would have a mailing list of approximately 7000 people!

And if you really exert more effort, you could do much more than this. As marketers say, it takes a little time, money, and dedication to develop and implement a mailing list. But it’s a powerful tool that can pay for itself in just a few months and then keep paying off for years to come.

Got a great idea for an invention but not sure what to do with it? Turn your dream into a marketable product with these easy steps.

The light bulb above your head is glowing so bright that it’s threatening to blind everyone around you. But what should you do with your great invention idea? Before you start blabbing about your invention to the wrong person or run to the first company that offers to buy it, you need to do one thing:

Protect it.
Whether you want to produce and market your invention yourself or license it to another company, the only way to make money from your invention and to guarantee that no one will steal your idea is to file a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This can be an intimidating process, so we’ve broken it down for you in five easy steps.

Document It
Simply having an “idea” is worthless–you need to have proof of when you came up with the idea for your invention. Write down everything you can think of that relates to your invention, from what it is and how it works to how you’ll make and market it. This is the first step to patenting your idea and keeping it from being stolen. You’ve probably heard about the “poor man’s patent”–writing your idea down and mailing it to yourself in a sealed envelope so you have dated proof of your invention’s conception. This is unreliable and unlikely to hold up in court. Write your idea down in a specially designed inventor’s journal and have it signed by a witness. This journal will become your bible throughout the patent process.

Research your market
Sure, your brother thinks your idea for a new lawn sprinkler is a great idea, but that doesn’t mean your neighbor would buy one. More than 95 percent of all patents never make money for the inventor. Before you invest too much time and money into patenting your invention, do some preliminary research of your target market. Is this something people will actually buy? Once you know there’s a market, make sure your product can be manufactured and distributed at a low enough cost so that your retail price is reasonable. You can determine these costs by comparing those of similar products currently on the market. This will also help you size up your competition–which you will have, no matter how unique you think your invention is.

Make a Prototype
Begin with a drawing. Before you begin the prototyping phase, sketch out all of your ideas into your inventor’s journal. Create a concept mockup out of any material that will allow you to create a 3-D model of your design. Once you’re satisfied with the mockup, create a full-working model of your idea.

There are many books and kits that can help you create prototypes. If your invention is something that will cost a lot of money or is unreasonable to prototype (like an oil refinery process or a new pharmaceutical drug,) consider using a computer-animated virtual prototype.

If you thought of anything dealing with software, you also need to make an example and get it to work. You can create codes with the help of tools which are available online.

Market Your Invention
Now it’s time to figure out how you’re going to bring your product to market. Create a business plan: How will you get money? Where will you manufacture the product? How will you sell it? Now is a good time to decide if you will manufacture and sell the product yourself or license it for sale through another company.

When you license your product, you will probably only receive two to five percent in royalty fees. This often scares away inventors who feel they deserve more. But consider the upside: You will not have the financial burden associated with maintaining a business. This could end up making you more money in the long run.

Following these five steps will ensure an easy road to patenting your invention. Just remember that an easy road doesn’t necessarily mean a short one. From the time you conceive your idea to the time you see your product on the shelf is a very long process.

Most inventions take years to come to fruition. Have patience and follow due diligence in your steps to patenting your invention and your years of hard work will finally pay off.
