Not Making Money Online - Go To Online Auction.

Want to make money online? So you decided to start a small online business. Most entrepreneurs can’t wait to get their online business started and begin to rake in the cash. Entrepreneurs interested in an online business usually pick between two major revenue streams- auction sites such as Ebay, Bidville and Amazon’s Marketplace and an independently owned website.

There are many positives and a few negatives to both of these revenue streams. However, for many entrepreneurs with little or no web development experience auction sites such as Ebay are the perfect venue to get there feet wet selling online. Here are some of the positives of starting a business online using auctions sites:

•Extremely basic computer experience needed. Most people know the basics of surfing the internet, but not much else. Auction sites are the perfect place to list their items for sale. It is extremely user friendly, just name your product with a title, add a picture, description and list the price. There is no computer programming knowledge needed. All of the well known auctions sites are point and click

•Automatic traffic. With an independent website, you must worry about drawing traffic. Auction sites like EBay have millions of visitors ready and willing to buy your items for sale. Whatever you have for sale from the most common mp3 player to some of the rarest items can be found on EBay.

•Easy payment options. Most auction sites allow sellers to use a variety of web based payment services. The most common of course being Pay pal. Lesser known payment services are Western Union and Storm pay. There are millions of buyers and sellers that have web based payment accounts. This allows the seller to receive payments from the buyer fast, secure and efficiently. No more waiting for weeks for a money order to arrive in the mail.

So if you’re thinking of starting an online business and have relatively little experience with computing, your best solution would be to look into selling your items on an auction site.

If you are serious about making money online go automated cash.
Happy Selling!

Would you love to get into your own business but you’re afraid of the risk? Well the fears of risk are nothing to be laughed at. The vast majority of small businesses fail within the first year. There are a variety of reasons but the financial risk is incredibly high. To minimize the risk many look into the field of affiliate marketing. This takes about 90% percent of the risk factor away and allows you to set up a business for yourself.

As an affiliate, you do actually work for another company or merchant. You sell either products or services depending on your particular skills and talents. Affiliate program are great for those that are creative, self motivated and not afraid of hard work. When you become an affiliate, the corporation takes on the risk. You can sign on to sell products or you can sell services. You can work to increase website traffic to other sites and receive referral payments, or you can create your own sites ad make money through ad revenue. The choice is entirely yours.

IF you are just starting out, you may want to join and affiliate program that has been established. You won’t be competing with other internet giants and you’ll gain some necessary skills and experience. One well known affiliate partnership is the one that exists between Bizrate and Shopzilla.

Both of these two sites exist as separate entities. However they have combines their resources to make an excellent affiliate program. Bizrate functions as a comparison shopping site. If someone wants a certain item they can search for it via Bizrate. The site will tell you where to purchase it and how much it charges. They will give you a complete item description as well. Bizrate also lets the consumers know who is offering particular items for the lowest price and who offers the best value for money. Bizrate gives consumers a chance to check out merchant reviews as well.

Shopzilla functions as an internet shopping site. They sell goods in several different categories and promise low prices with quality service. You can purchase nearly anything you like via the shopzilla site. If you have a credit or debit card the item will be delivered directly to you.

Shopzilla offers people the chance to join there affiliate marketing program. As one of their affiliates you are welcome to place sales content onto their site.

Each method can result in sales commission and more money for you.

One great advantage of the shopzilla affiliate marketing program is that it works with the bizrate site. Even though shopzilla runs the affiliate program it has the support and backing of another major retail site. Your content can be posted on shopzilla and then reviewed on bizrate.

Not Making Money Online - Affiliate Marketing: Staying Away From Scams

Many of us are upset and frustrated with our current jobs. The low pay and sense of being undervalued drive many of us to dream of our own businesses. However, the costs combines with the risk factors stops most of us in our tracks. Affiliate marketing is a way for people to work for themselves with no risk. There is no cost to you and you’re paid on performance. However, today one has to be careful. There are plenty of scammers and con artists out there that are more than happy to take you money and hard work off of you. Unfortunately, affiliate marketing is not immune to these scammers. Daily, people are taken in by promises of big money with relatively little effort. In this article we will teach you some of the signs to look for and tell you how to spot a scam.

When you join an affiliate marketing scheme, you either going to sell a product or a service. With products, you usually have a choice and range to sell. How you decide to do this is largely up to you. You could also sell a service. Web page designs as well as increasing sales and internet traffic are all examples of services offered by affiliate marketing programs.

How many times have you seen as ad on the internet promising huge earnings? Things like “Earn 1000$ a day” or Join our program now and become a millionaire. If your look closely at these ads they are not actually selling anything. Any company that is just selling the opportunity to make money is likely a scam. True, some affiliate marketing companies will have attention grabbing headlines like the ones mentioned above. However, if you go on to read the ad and information, there will likely be a detailed description of what they company sells. They will also have a disclaimer and terms and conditions listed.

These companies that offer, the opportunity to make money are likely pyramid schemes. The only people paying money in are the ones actually joining. There is no income being created, just money being passed from person to person. Not only are these scams and you’ll loose what you invested, they are also illegal and you can face prosecution.

Another thing to watch out for is no free participation. If you have to pay to join then you may have stumbled upon a scam or what is known as a multilevel marketing program. Multi-level marketing programs are completely legal and some people make good livings out of them. However, if you’re not successful you may end up purchasing a bunch of products that you cannot sell.

True affiliate programs are free. That is part of their attraction. There are no costs to you and they should also be risk free. Any Affiliate marketing programs that demands your money is not an affiliate program. You should ask yourself why they are misrepresenting themselves this way if they are legitimate.

Many of us dream of being our own bosses. We would love to be able to take control of our lives and careers. The attraction of answering only to you combined with setting your own working hours and committing what your choose bring loads of people into the affiliate marketing schemes. Affilaite marketing can be an excellent way for a highly motivated, creative person to make an excellent living. There are some wonderful programs out there just waiting to be joined. However, for every great program there is likely one that is fraudulent. Con artists operate in many areas and unfortunate affiliate marketing is not immune.

Before joining, check to see what the company is selling. If they are not selling goods or services then they are likely an illegal pyramid scheme. If they require your own money to get started then they are what are known as a multi level marketing program. Affiliate marketing can be a great opportunity but you need to do your homework.

NOT MAKING MONEY - MARKETING TRENDS…INTERNET ADVERTISING






I always wondered why they called it jumping on the bandwagon. As a matter of fact, I looked it up and it seems that back in the 19th century, there were bandwagons that were used in the pre circus parades. The members of the circus would ride on top of these colorful bandwagons. As they passed by, spectators would notice and join the procession. The circus promoters would hope that this would encourage the followers to actually become paying spectators of the circus itself. That is how the term jumping on the bandwagon got started.

What does this have to do with marketing trends and Internet advertising? Everything. See, whenever somebody comes up with a new way of "getting the word out" everybody and their grandmother jumps on the bandwagon and uses that method of advertising to promote their product or service. It doesn't matter if the method has been proven or not. Once somebody sees another person using it, the bandwagon jumping begins because nobody wants to be left out of the "in crowd."










So, what are the top marketing trends for Internet advertising today?

Probably the most widely used method of advertising is, and will probably be for a long time, Google Adwords. This is a relatively inexpensive and effective form of marketing that precisely targets the people who you want to reach. That is of course assuming that you set your Adwords campaign up properly. Many have gone broke because of poor keyword selection, poor choice of bid amounts and just plain awfully worded ads. Google Adwords is by no means a sure thing if you don't know what to do with it.

Another form of marketing that seems to have created a buzz these days is Butterfly Marketing. This is really just another form of viral marketing where a friend tells another friend and so on. It's word of mouth with a few twists to it. Many Butterfly Marketing sites have shown incredible success, again if you set them up correctly.

Another big buzz around town is Bum Marketing. This is basically the practice of writing articles after doing careful keyword research on the topic of your choice, and then submitting those articles to article directories. The key is to make sure you have a resource box that contains a way for people to get more information through your website, much like this very article. It's actually very effective.

Of course aside from the "new wave" of marketing trends, there are still the tried and true methods like SEO, E-zine Ads and a host of other things that have worked since I can remember. The thing about trends is that many of them are really just reworked ideas of old methods. The ones that aren't, usually don't last very long because when all is said and done, the most effective forms of marketing have probably already been invented.











So, if you're looking for the "new" thing under the big top, you may not have to look any farther than optimizing your website for the search engines and taking out a few good solo ads in the better E-zines. Of course writing an article every now and then can't hurt.

It certainly hasn't hurt me any.

Not Making Money Online - Try Ebay - Part 1

If you were to take a poll on what was the most popular form of making money on the Internet, you’d probably get about a 50-50 split between affiliate marketing and selling on Ebay. From the people I have spoken to, Ebay seems to give them more of a feeling of really running their own business. I didn’t really get that feeling because I’d already created my own products to sell online. But I can understand their feeling of excitement. They had to jump through a lot of hoops to sell on Ebay, especially if they were into drop shipping.

Make no mistake about it. Selling on Ebay is a real rush. There power trip of being totally in control of everything is far beyond the rush you get from selling an affiliate product where you have no control over the commission structure, website or anything. With Ebay, you make or break it on every level.

However, with that kind of rush comes a great deal of responsibility. There’s nobody to lean on when you’re selling on Ebay. You are your own boss and everything falls on your shoulders. There’s no Clickbank to turn to for refunds. All refunds come out of your pocket and if there are enough customer complaints, you can be shut down in an instant. So you better make sure that you run a tight ship.

So, you want to sell on Ebay. Okay, if that’s the case, you better have a solid game plan. I don’t mean just what products you’re going to sell. I mean how you’re going to advertise, how you’re going to price, where you’re going to get the products from and a lot more. Everything will have to be in place and ready to go before you even place your first Ebay ad. Just one thing not taken care of and the whole operation falls apart.

If you’re really efficient and a quick worker, you can probably get an Ebay campaign going, depending on how complex it is, in about a week. Some take a month or longer to put together. My particular campaign, when I first started, was simple and took me a week. If I knew what I was doing back then, it probably wouldn’t have taken me as long, but everybody starts out somewhere.

One word of caution before you even venture into this territory. You’re going to have to be very careful about regulations. Ebay has a ton of them as does PayPal. They’re not going to care about your email to them that says “I didn’t know.” That’s why Ebay and PayPal have all these terms of service. They expect people to read them, even though they may take a year and a day to do so.

Having said that, it is not the purpose of this tutorial to teach you Ebay and PayPal regulations. That I am leaving in YOUR hands. This tutorial is simply to help you set up a business for the purpose of selling on Ebay.

In our next installment, we’ll get to the actual instruction itself.

See you then.

Not Making Money Online - Internet Promotions - Advantages and Disadvantages


Internet Promotion - Advantages and Disadvantages



Internet Promotion - Advantages and Disadvantages
By Carla Lendor




The emergence of globalise trade, increase in foreign investment and cross-border transactions have put many small businesses under pressure to find innovative ways to continue to market their products and services. This is especially difficult given that they often operate on tight marketing budgets.



In the quest for cheap marketing alternatives, these small businesses continue to use conventional marketing tools such as newspaper, magazine, radio and television advertisements, unaware of the advantages that Internet Promotion offers. All too often, these entrepreneurs focus on the disadvantages of Internet Promotion and fail to adequately take advantage of the opportunities that it presents. Moreover, their preoccupation with conventional marketing strategies is driven by a misconception that these are cheaper than Internet Promotion.



To most small business entrepreneurs, marketing or promoting their products or services via the Internet can be a daunting task. However, with adequate information small businesses can benefit significantly from Internet Promotion while minimising the disadvantages that it presents. In fact, it may prove to be the marketing strategy that generates the highest return on investment.



The Advantages



Cost Effective and Enduring Marketing Strategies



The Internet has become the information superhighway for the buying public. Most persons prefer the hassle free transactions that Internet shopping can offer. As a result, the Internet has become the most powerful selling tool. Internet Promotion offers cost effective ways for small businesses to enhance their product or service distribution networks. For example, the use of portals can help create new marketing channels and logistics, or provide better or faster product access for customers.



In comparison to other forms of marketing, Internet Promotion presents the advantage of reduced budget and storage costs, when compared with printing brochures, producing television or radio advertisements or managing a call centre. It presents a fast and cost effective option for penetrating new markets.



Market Penetration



With millions of person using the Internet to search for products and services, small businesses can penetrate other markets at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing methods.



Websites act as virtual storefronts, allowing businesses to stay open 24/7. Internet Promotion gives a business greater visibility, thereby creating more opportunities for increasing its customers at relatively low cost. Never before has it been easier for an upstart business to be able to reach out to literally millions of potential customers and to position themselves for success, without the need for costly infrastructure and overwhelming marketing costs. Thanks to the Internet, new businesses can become popular almost overnight.



Low Cost, Instant Communication



Email makes business communications instant, whether the customer or business affiliate is across the street or across the globe. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact and readily facilitates repeat purchasing. An effective online strategy can therefore turn a small web business into a virtual cost saver and income-generating machine. The net result is that the small business can gain significant competitive advantage in a given market.



Many online businesses have therefore resorted to the use of ezines, blogs, pop-up ads and other online marketing tools to let customers know about new products or services as well as provide information relevant to their respective industry. The benefits of this strategy are two fold. Marketers can effectively heighten brand awareness for relatively new products on the market whilst strengthening customer relationships, with shorter time frames.



Content is Timeless



Internet Promotion also provides the advantage of being enduring. Whereas participation at a trade fair or conference loses sales impact, once it is over, and an advertisement in a newspaper or business magazine may quickly lose its sales generating value within a day or two or as soon as the next issue is released; Internet Promotion is often timeless. Apart from the dates and sometimes prices, much of your website content remains valid years after.



Real Time Statistics For Measuring Success of Promotion Campaign



One of the most significant advantages of Internet Promotion is that its success is measurable. Marketers can use tools that provide real time statistics, on unique visitors, repeat visitors, click through rates (CTR) on advertisements, thereby allowing them to evaluate the effectiveness of a promotion campaign. This enables marketers to determine what works for their particular market and to make timely changes in their marketing strategies.



Time Saving



Another important advantage of Internet Promotion is that it saves time since it generally does away with counselling on product uses and benefits, service information and sales administration. Visitors can access "frequently asked questions" to help themselves, and can buy online, without the involvement of staff. This saves time and money. So, whether 10 or 10,000 visitors visit the site, the increased cost is marginal whilst the savings can be immense.



But like any business approach, Internet Promotion is not without its risks and weaknesses.



Disadvantages



Difficulty in Attracting Customers



Small business may not have the resources to pay for paid directory inclusion, pay per click inclusions and often have to rely solely on search engine optimisation or word of mouth to drive traffic to their sites. With millions of businesses selling the same product and services, competing with more established businesses can be frustrating and costly venture for small business.



On the other hand, larger companies can offer promotions, pay for directory inclusions, implement pay per click campaigns as well as employ the “who is who” in internet marketing to develop campaigns that generate traffic and leads.



Difficulty in Evaluating Legitimacy of Transaction



Another notable disadvantage of doing promoting businesses online is that it may be difficult for the businesspersons and consumers to thoroughly evaluate the legitimacy of a transaction. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to thieves using stolen credit cards and stolen information to do online transaction.



With Internet credit card and identity fraud on the rise, small businesses are forced to finance costly security measures to reduce their vulnerability to fraudulent transactions.



Salespersons and Customers are Isolated



Another disadvantage of promotion via the Internet is that the customers and businesspersons are isolated. There is little personal contact between customer and salesperson prior to and after the sales is closed. Thus, the prospect for repeat sales may thus be diminished. Entrepreneurs are therefore compelled to adopt marketing strategies to drive online users back to their site.



From all indications, it appears that the advantages of Internet promotion, far exceed the disadvantages. With adequate knowledge, entrepreneur can benefit significantly from Internet promotion, especially small business owners.



More and more, the growth and outreach of the Internet’s, its ease and accessibility for customers is becoming inevitable. Small business would therefore be well advised to start their web advertising function in order to improve their competitiveness online.

Not Making Money Online - Search Engine Friendly Ways to Build Link Popularity

Search Engine Friendly Ways to Build Link Popularity

Search Engine Friendly Ways to Build Link Popularity
By Michael Lawrence


Acquiring relevant backlinks to your website is one of the most important parts of any Search Engine Optimization campaign. The search engine's and especially Google value backlinks to your website as an indicator of your website's importance. If a large number of webmaster's have decided to link to your content then you must be an important information hub in your target keyword marketplace.


Link Popularity Checker

www.uptimebot.com – lists link popularity for all major search engines.
If you can manage to get a large number of links from similar or complimentary websites that are ranked high by the search engine's then your website should also start to climb the search engine rankings and increase the traffic to your site. Of course the quality of links, the anchor text of the links, the total number of links, the content of the page your link is on, how many outbound links are on the page, and the ranking of the page your link is on are all extremely important factors to consider when developing a linking strategy for your business.


When adding your links to resource directories where you have control over your link remember to utilize all the tools you have available to you to get the most out of the backlink to your site.


Place your keywords in img “alt” tags (if you have an image with your link), link “title” tag, and in the anchor text for your link. You have to remember that when a search engine visits a site that has a backlink to you that they have no idea what your website is about yet. Of course the search engine spider will make decisions based on it's evaluation of the webpage but you can help them (and yourself) out by applying these simple principles to all backlinks you have control over. If you are submitting to a directory make sure you place your link under a category that has your keywords in the title of the category if possible.


You also have the option of “buying” links to your website, a strategy that has worked and continues to work now, but the search engine's frown on this practice and have a tendency to black hole websites involved in “link farming” techniques. It's ok to purchase advertising or to seek out strategic partnerships for reciprocal linking of course but purchasing links for the sole purposes of boosting your search rankings is against Google's Terms of Service.


Trust me when I say Google can tell with pretty good accuracy who is buying their links and who is not. It really isn't that hard to tell and does not require that much analysis to figure out. You can perform this type of analysis for yourself, and you should do this to see what the competition in your market is doing. If you do purchase links make sure these are not the only links back to your site. The search engine's like to see a “natural” growth to the number and quality of your backlinks. Having a couple of high ranking links and no others is a big red flag. Any site that grows naturally will have a pyramidal distribution of links with the greatest number of links at or near the bottom of the ranking ladder.


So you don't want your site to get black holed but you do want to accelerate the rate at which your website climbs the search engine rankings and hence see the benefits of free targeted traffic to your website. The good news is there are several Search Engine friendly ways to improve your link popularity:


1. Write Articles and have them published


The search engine's love content filled web pages since these pages are providing information not just advertising. Writing articles related to your website topic and having them published on high ranking websites is a great first step to building your link popularity.


You may not have traffic coming to your site yet, but these article sites sure do. If someone likes your article a number of these article publishing sites will allow the user to download the article for use on their site. You are allowed to include a resource box with your article which you would obviously use to place a link to your website. Submit your articles to as many article submission sites as you can, they are hungry for your content.

http://goarticles.com


http://searchwarp.com


http://www.ideamarketers.com/


2. Publish a Blog


This is a similar idea to writing articles except that you will have total editorial control of your Blog content. Feel free to weave in a few product and affiliate links where appropriate in your Blog content (something many article sites frown upon). Submit your blog to Blog and Web directories to help build the link popularity for your blog. Make sure you link your blog to your main website so anyone reading your Blog will be able to find you. You can also have your Blog syndicated via RSS to really explode your exposure. Be sure to add a resource box to the end of each article with a link to your website so that anyone syndicating your article via RSS will be able to find you.


http://www.blogger.com – the internet's most popular blogging service


http://www.geeklog.net – run your own blog on your own website with this free php-mysql package


http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/ - great listing of sites accepting RSS/Atom feeds, or Blog submissions.


3. Submit to Web Directories


There are literally thousands of Web Directories on the internet that will provide you a link to your site either for free, free with a reciprocal link, or for a fee. The most useful listing to have would be in the DMOZ.org directory which is the largest and most respected web directory on the internet. Getting listed can take 6-9 months if at all so you will definitely have to add some other directory targets to your short term plans.


Yahoo! offers an express paid directory listing for $299 USD a year which may be worth the price for your particular website. There are also a number of Quality Free Web Directories that should be on your to do list.

4. Purchase links or seek out Link Partners


As long as you are continuing to build your links naturally utilizing the techniques above you can supplement your backlink count with a few carefully purchased links on high traffic sites. This can give you a double benefit of helping you boost your link popularity and also provide you a stream of traffic from the website itself if you have targeted your purchase correctly. If your site is about real estate, consider purchasing links in a real estate directory that has a large amount of traffic.


5. Post in relevant Forums


Search engine's love forums because they are moderated by humans and have a lot of ever-changing content on them. These types of sites are indexed regularly and can be a great place to spread the word about your site and gain link popularity. Every time you post your “signature” is attached to your posting which should contain a link to your site if you have set it up correctly.


6. Provide valuable original content or tools on your website


Writing articles or having unique tools that people would find valuable on your website are great ways to build up backlinks without having to expend effort. If you provide a great tool on your site for free other webmasters will link up to your site without you having to solicit them. The internet is an information source for most people, so give them what they want.


7. Seek Out Complimentary Link Partners


If you find resources that compliment the services you offer on your website, consider contacting the owner's of these websites and trading links with them. Do not make these judgments based on the site's page rank but rather focus on how relevant the other site's content is to yours.

Not Making Money Online - Create Product for Long Term Income

Internet marketing is comprised of two types of marketers - those who create value and develop long term futures, and those who ride on the tides of fads, and are only strong when they pick good fads.

What are some recent fads?

How about banner ads, SPAM, web rings, FFA sites, linking scams, and perhaps even now mass article marketing. As of late, it seems there is a new Adsense fad every other month.

So what does it take to be a long-term player online?

I think you just have to look at the internet marketers who have achieved long run success. I choose not to name names, but if you have been around for awhile, you know who they are. And run the list in your mind. Is there a single one who is still successful, that has not created products and continued to create products long-term? Is there a single fad-rider who is still in the game, unless he has chosen to convert to creating products?

By creating your own products, you develop name recognition and buyer loyalty.

Why? I have to think that it is your own subscriber loyalty - and they may have never purchased a product directly from you. Everything they have read of yours may have been a free product. Anything they have bought from you may have been an affiliate product or a private label resale product.

Create products or die.

Not Making Money Online - Make Money Through Your Own Product Part 2.

Perhaps you have written several ebooks, and are thinking about writing another, but are hesitating because you remember the time it took to write the first one. Or maybe you have never written an ebook because you feel overwhelmed by the task. You think it would takes months or years, and you simply aren’t sure where to begin.

Regardless of the category you fall into, I challenge you to try this method. It will quickly and easily produce for you a quality product in an amazingly short period of time.

Follow these steps:

1) Decide on your topic. If you already know, skip this step. If not, write down a list of all the things you know enough about to teach someone else, and that you have the willingness to learn some more about. Take that list to a keyword inventory tool like the one Overture uses, and find out which of your topics gets a high number of keyword searches online. Narrow this list down to about two or three possible topics that get a lot of searches. Next, search for forums online that are related to these topics and spend some time reading the posts. You should very quickly be able to discern where the most interest lies. Then, make a decision! You can always write the other ebook later! Indecision is one of the great limiting factors online.

2) Write a list of twenty topics that are related to your main topic. These will be your chapters.

3) Write a list of 10 ideas related to each of your topics (so you will have a total of 200 ideas, 10 for each topic).

4) Begin writing. Simply write 1-3 paragraphs about each of the ideas you listed in step 3.

5) When you are finished writing on each of these topics, organize them and make sure that they flow naturally from one idea to another.

6) Write an introductory chapter, briefly touching on some of the main topics about which you have already written.

7) Write a closing chapter, giving your readers reminders about the practical things you have taught that they can go out and apply in their own lives.

8) Proof read your ebook. Have at least 2 other people read it, and take their suggestions seriously enough to read over what they question, but not seriously enough to rewrite significant portions of the book. There has to be balance here. You see, you want a readable, easy to understand book with no grammar and spelling errors, but if you try to make the book all things to all people, you will never publish it.

9) Go to adobe’s web site and upload it to a PDF for free. They give you 5 free trial conversions, so take advantage of the service.

Now you have your first (or next) ebook!

Not Making Money Online - Make Money Through Your Own Product.

If you have never written a book or developed a product before, creating a brand-new information product may seem downright daunting to you today. In this article, I will break down the steps to creating your own product to their rawest elements.

What is an information product? An information product teaches someone else how to do something you can do well. It can be in the form of a book, an ebook, an audio (CD) series, or a video series.

1) What can you do well, or know a lot about? You must first determine a topic for your product. Are you a fisherman, a good dog trainer, or do you know how to shop using coupons and save money every week? Anything you can do well that could benefit others if they could too, is a great product.

2) Write down an outline of all the things you know about your topic. Literally everything.

3) Organize all the things from 2) into categories of information. For example, in the fishing example, list ten different types of fishing.

4) Under each category, list everything you know about those categories.

5) Start writing what you know. Do not worry about grammar or even spelling. You will catch all of that when you proof read. You want to write from your heart, sharing all the information you can. If you are constantly correcting yourself, you will find it difficult to keep writing as effectively.

6) If you really have a hard time starting the process of writing, think of each topic as an article. So write an article on each topic. When you have written an article on each topic, put them all together and you have your book.

7) You can use this same process for an audio or video---you will just be talking instead of writing. But you still need to write out the categories and topics, and write good notes so you cover everything.

8) Be sure and proof whatever you do, and have at least one other person read it. There is nothing more embarrassing than seeing your own mistake in print.

9) Pull it all together, find a publisher, create a PDF file, or record your product. Once you are satisfied with it, the hard work begins! Marketing!

Not Making Money Online - Internet Marketing is Easy Entry Business

Internet marketing is what we call in business school, an easy-entry business. Anybody can do it, with less than 100 dollars.

The problem with easy-entry businesses is that because everyone can get it, most people fail.

People don’t think before they make decisions. In their head somewhere, they feel that just because they have only invested 100, that the returns on the business are low. And they somehow manage to match their expectations.

If they do make a few hundred dollars, they manage to take it all and buy a few nice dinners, to compensate themselves for their time.

The serious internet marketer, on the other hand, will think himself grateful to be able to go into business for himself for less than 100 dollars, and reinvest every dollar that comes in.

The most expensive part of getting started online is traffic generation.

Traffic generation is either expensive in time, or expensive in money. But it has to be spent.

So how do you make the campaign profitable? There is only one way: measure everything.

Just like running a science or economics experiment, every input must be measured, every output must be measured.

The outputs on every campaign must be greater than the inputs on those very campaigns. There is no other way about it. Anything else is gamble. You must remember, you are building a business, not managing a night out in Vegas.

You must measure every dollar you spend in terms of the visitor, subscriber or sale made, and you must do the same thing for revenue. In every match, in every campaign, the revenues must exceed the costs. You cannot cheat here.

Measure everything.

Sometimes we find it difficult to come up with niches that we are passionate about and which can make us money and benefit others. We fall into this trap that every niche has to be complicated, but there are niches all around us that we can profit from. Look at your hobbies, look around you whiles you drive, whiles you are going to work, whiles you at work, look around your house and offices. Tons of money is all around us but we are thinking too hard. All we have to do is be creative and see what great profitable niches we can come up with.

Making money Online - Through Forum Traffic

Forum advertising is one of my least favorite, not because of the response rate, but because it is just downright boring to me. But I felt it was only fair to talk about it here; you can choose to use it or not!

Basically, forums are online information exchanges where many people who have an interest in a similar topic will gather to talk online and ask questions.

One thing that is important is that you only use forums that are pretty closely related to your topic. Here are the steps involved in utilizing forums:

1) Find all the forums that pertain to your web site’s topic. Go to a search engine and type in your topic and the word ‘forum’

2) Go to the first forum. If you have never used a forum before, take a few minutes to get a feel for how it works. Basically, members of the forum will share information and answer questions for each other. There are usually different areas of the forum set up for different specific topics.

3) Become a member of the forum. In the process of signing up, you should have the opportunity to create a personalized signature. A signature is a line or block of text that will appear at the end of every post you make. Include your web site address (preferably your squeeze page address) in your forum.

4) Go the introductions section and introduce yourself.

5) Begin to read through the various forums and begin posting. You can either answer questions people have asked to which you have useful information, or you can offer new information. The key here is that every post you create has a link to your site. When people read your posts, they can click through to your site and join your mailing list. One thing that is important here is that the forums are looking for good quality information and posts, not blatant advertising, in exchange for letting you post your link in the signature area. Don’t abuse this, or you will be removed from the forum.

The key with generating traffic with forums is to spend time everyday in all the forums you join. Just like all other forms of traffic generation, this must be an ongoing effort. You cannot simply spend five hours posting to forums one day, and expect to get traffic for the next year.

Making Money Online – Using Web Traffic To Market Products

So now you have a book to sell, a web page to sell it on, and now all you need is some visitors to come see your page.

There are many ways to generate visitors, and generally in this arena, the money you spend will be about proportionate to how good of a lead or visitor they are. By this I mean that this area of web resource is fairly well advanced, and just about everybody that has a web site and is serious about their business is using some form of traffic generation or another.

This is a really broad field, and if you type in “web traffic” to any search engine you will come up with wildly different levels of traffic and qualities of traffic. If you see a ‘deal’ that is too good to be true, it probably is.

With that in mind, I want to briefly cover the types of web traffic that there are. Web traffic ranges from almost worthless to very targeted and productive. For example, on the almost worthless end you have types of traffic like pop-under or exit traffic, guaranteed hits, surf traffic, and banner impression traffic.

Without going into a lot of detail on how each of those forms of traffic work, they all generally work on the principle of very high volume. So for example, maybe it will take 10,000 visitors or more to get one person to buy your book, or even express an interest. If you go into these forms of traffic thinking you will buy 10,000 or 20,000 visitors and wait and see what happens, you will be very disappointed.

This type of traffic is much more effective when purchased in large quantities, and instead of sending them directly to your sales page, you send them to what is generally called a ‘squeeze page’, where they are very quickly offered a free ebook or set of lessons, in exchange for their name and email address. What this allows you to do is capture the person’s information so instead of just having one opportunity to sell them as they look at your sales page, you can begin an email campaign, sending them some informative letters via email every few days. Your intent there will be to direct them to your web site after developing some contact with them. This way you have multiple attempts to present them with your sales offer.

One thing that is extremely important is tracking everything you do, especially with this type of traffic. For example, if you spend $300 on 100,000 hits from one source or one company and you make 10 $30 sales, then you have only broken even. But perhaps from another source or company you spend the same $300 on only 10,000 hits, but you make 20 $30 sales, then you are in profit. It is very important to remember that all visitors are not the same, and just because on average you spend $15 to generate a $30 sale, that doesn’t mean that is your benchmark. You must consistently track everything you do, so you can make adjustments. If you spend $1000 one month and only sell $1000 worth of books, that doesn’t mean you are lost and unable to make money with that book, unless you aren’t tracking things. If you are tracking everything, you will probably realize that you spent $200 on one source that provided almost all of your sales, and $800 on a mixed bag of other sources that barely cleared you $100. So do the math here. On one campaign, you spent $200 and took in $900 and on another you spent $800 and took in $100. So was your month a total loss? No, it was not. Now you know where not to advertise or buy traffic from, and where you can triple up on your spending, and clear a profit the next month. You should be able to see by now how important it is to track every sale and visitor you receive.

Making Money Online -Traffic Generation Continues

Now, going up the list in terms of quality, you will have PPC traffic generation (this isn’t really next long-term, but if you don’t know what you are doing, you can lose your shirt in a hurry with these, so be careful).

There is also ezine advertising, and article marketing, which, when done correctly, can be very profitable.

These are two forms of traffic generation that generally produce a much higher quality visitor than the ones mentioned earlier. Ezine advertising is more costly per visitor, and article marketing, although it can be done on a budget, is time consuming.

Now, everything is relative. You see, you will be spending more per visitor for these visitors, but when they come to your site they already have an interest in your type of product. They are a much more targeted visitor, and as such, are much more likely to purchase from you.

There is not much to say here about ezine advertising, except to try it out and experiment with various ads in various ezines. Again, it is important to track all your traffic and the source of your sales. You see, if you advertise in 10 ezines and receive 10 sales, it is very unlikely that each ezine produced one sale each. One ezine producing 8 sales, and another producing 2 sales, with the other 8 ezines producing nothing is probably much more realistic. For this reason, you must track, and it is also advisable to advertise in several at one time. For example, with the case just mentioned, if you had only advertised in some of the ones that didn’t produce, you would have a bad feeling for ezine advertising, and if you had gotten lucky and advertised in the one that produced the most sales, you would have become over-zealous regarding ezine advertising. But by purchasing several ads and tracking your results, you have a much more realistic picture of what ezine advertising can do.

Article marketing. This has recently become a very popular area of advertising, although it has probably always been effective.

What it entails is writing short, informative articles on the same topic as your book and including a link to your website at the end of the article. You then submit the articles to the various article submission directories. When they publish the articles, ezine directories pick up your article and use it as content for their ezine or newsletter. So, in a sense, it reaches the same market as the ezine advertising, but with a different cost. I say different, because although you are not paying for the article to appear, you also have no control over where it appears. The idea is that if you write a good article, the ezine editors will include it because they feel it is good information for their readers. It is also time consuming to write articles and submit them to the various article directories.

Now, just like everything on the web, there is an answer to that, but now you are spending money again. There are several article submission services out there that can submit your article to the various directories, for a reasonable fee. The advantage here is that you aren’t spending a ridiculous amount of time submitting the articles, but keep in mind that some of the better article directories won’t accept the automated submissions. The key here is to track what you, and check up on your articles to be sure they appear with all your links intact. This goes for whether you submit them yourself, or you have a submission service do it for you.

Ok, now for PPC click campaigns. These are pay-per-click campaigns that work exactly as the name implies. You pay when someone clicks on your website. They also have their good points and their drawbacks. They are wonderful for testing aspects of your web site, because in some campaigns you can have every other visitor go to a different version of your site, and track the conversion rate of different qualities of your page. They are good at simply bringing targeted visitors to your site. The drawbacks, however, are many, and I am not going to cover them here.

As you can see here, there are many different methods for generating traffic, and in some sense they can probably all fit into your strategy for generating sales. It is important, though, that you tailor each sales page or sales letter or squeeze page to the type of advertising you are running. You can have a great source of traffic but if you are ineffective at capturing either email information or the sale, you will not be productive. And each form of traffic requires a little different approach.

Another point here. Since there are so many different ways to generate traffic, which should you try, and should you try all of them? I suggest you choose a couple or three that you might feel comfortable with, or at least understand how they work. Also, do not try to use 25 different types of traffic the first month or two into this project. It is far better to choose two or three and focus on getting good at selling to that customer. It is so easy to get caught up in trying something new every single week, and never really making any money. Stick with a few, and master them.

Making Money Online -3 Keys to Traffic Generation

If you are just getting started online, you have visions of how much traffic there is, just floating around in the ether of the internet, just waiting for you to send it to your sales page. If you have been online for awhile, you know that there is a lot of traffic out there, but it is certainly not just waiting for you to send it to your sales page. And if you have been online for a long time, you know that it is not how much traffic you have, but what you do with that traffic that counts.

So, if you are a beginner: Build things right from the beginning. It is not just about sending all kinds of traffic to your web site and sitting back and hoping it will buy something. Instead, send traffic somewhere that allows you to develop a relationship with it. Get to know your traffic. What does it want? Let them get to know you. What do you have to offer them?

How do you do it? First build yourself a squeeze page or landing site or add a web form to your existing web pages that allows your visitors to opt in to your mailing list. Once on your mailing list, get to know them. Introduce yourself. Ask questions. Send useful information. Answer their questions.

So how do you get that traffic in the first place?

1) Write articles and submit them to online article directories. This is one of the best places to find quality, targeted traffic. One of the things I like about writing articles is that it gives me an opportunity to show my visitor, even before they are a visitor, what I am made out of. They can see my style, get a feel for my knowledge, without risking a thing. If they like me in the article, they can opt in to my mailing list and learn more from me. If they do not like my style, they can close the article without any further action.

2) Use pay-per-click campaigns like Adsense or Overture. These campaigns allow you to specifically bid on targeted keyword traffic and have it sent directly to your site. You are paying for this traffic, so it is important that you are able to convert a reasonable percentage of it to subscribers. Start slow, and don’t feel like you have to be the highest bidder in the game. It is perfectly OK to be in 6th place while you are developing your program.

3) Ezine advertising. This will be one of the more expensive types of traffic you obtain, especially since you pay once for it rather than as you go with pay-per-click. Start with less expensive ads, and as you test and tweak your ads, and they create more response, then upgrade and use those same ads in more expensive slots.
