Successful Affiliate Marketing? You Need Your Links to Be Found!

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:27:00 +0000

By Shawn Baune

So you're trying to make a little extra cash online, maybe help catch up on some bills in this struggling economy? I understand, I'm doing the exact same thing. I even spent some money on so-called "guaranteed" programs that pretty much wanted me to use deceitful practices to basically sell the same crappy program that I had just bought from them. This was very discouraging, so I decided to take a new approach.

I thought to myself, "okay, what do I know that I would be comfortable promoting?". The answer to that was simple for me, basketball...basketball and basketball training equipment. You see, I've played basketball for quite some time, and used quite a few things that were out on the market that I saw results with. So, instead of becoming an affiliate for work-at-home programs, I started looking for basketball affiliate programs. Even if I hadn't used the products, I knew enough about basketball and fitness to decide if I could legitimately tell others that I think they should get that product. Now I just had to figure out how to have my recommendations and affiliate links found.

The answer was simple, I had to target basketball players and other athletes with a basketball website. That way I could put my affiliate links in front of my target audience, those most likely to click on them and use the products, without having to spend a lot of money on pay-per-click advertising. The website gives basketball players free tips and training advice, and may recommend a product that could enhance their game or training. Not only that, but I could be more passionate about why something might work and hopefully be a little more convincing to get that commission off of a sale.

What's the point of all this? To be successful as an affiliate, you have to get your links clicked on right? But as I said, PPC advertising can be very costly. Another option is "legal" bulk-email lists in which people agree to receive e-mails for products so that it's not considered spam. The truth is, though, that most of these people are just like you in the sense that they agreed to do so so that they could send out their links as well.

So, what's the next choice? You need to have a website willing to let you put affiliate links onto it (rare if at all existent). I decided I would be the only one willing to do so, so I would need to create my own website. That's not good enough, though, you also need to get traffic to that site. I have been able to do that through some hard work, and want to emphasize that affiliate marketing isn't as easy as signing up for a program and then making money over night. You have to get people to click on your links, and in order to do so, they must be able to find them. My answer was to build a website of my own.

To summarize in very few words, there are only a couple of things that you need to be successful:

1. A place to place your affiliate links so that they can be found.
2. A decent amount of traffic to the area(s) where your affiliate links are available so that there is a better chance for conversion.

I found the answer in building my own website about my passion, basketball, and did so with no knowledge about website development to begin with. I also used a number of tips to improve my website's page rankings so that more traffic was exposed to my links.

I'm not going to go into the details of the help I found through SBI (Site Build It), but you can check out the about section of my website if you want to hear more: http://www.basketball-tips-and-training.com/affiliate-marketing-and-SBI.html

Earn Money on the Internet Promoting Your Affiliate Programs Through Article Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:53:00 +0000

By Omar Negron Platinum Quality Author

If you have been trying to earn money on the Internet promoting your affiliate programs and have not had success trust me I have been in your position also. Affiliate programs are a great way to do business but if you're not bringing highly targeted traffic to your website on a daily basis then you will find it hard to make sales.

But how can you bring more traffic to your website with people who are ready to buy?

The best way that I have found to bring targeted traffic to my website would be though article marketing. If you're not familiar with what article marketing is it is basically writing and distributing articles to article directories and getting people to see your articles, view them, and hopefully they visit your website. Now will everyone who visits your article in go on to see your website? The simple answer is no it is not going to happen!

But you will notice that the more articles you write the more traffic your website will begin to generate and the more leads you will get and of course the more sales you will make. Article marketing is very powerful if you truly understand how to make it work for you. The great thing is that you do not have to be a master at it at all when you first start, but the key is to start. When I first heard of article marketing I did not want to try it because I thought it was "hard".

This is a big mistake and I suggest you don't make it as well, because you can be losing out on a lot of money. Writing articles doesn't make you money; the traffic that you be generating does.

The person who writes the most articles and is the most aggressive about this type of marketing medium will see the best results.

Four Free Ways to Make Extra Money From Marketing Affiliate Products

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:47:00 +0000

By Dennis Jones

Here are four ways that you can make extra money from marketing. There are numerous ways to make extra money from marketing, but this is four ways that won't cost you anything, and I think everyone loves free stuff.

First for those of you that might not know what affiliate marketing is; here is a basic, rough example. A rough idea of affiliate marketing that we probably all know about and can relate to, especially if we went to public schools or have kids in public schools, is fund raisers. You go out and sell other people's products like candy bars and other products like that. The goal, to make money from marketing these products for whatever the school activity might be. Now this is a very rough example, but I think it helps you to understand the basic idea of affiliate marketing. Your goal: to make money selling other people's products. Yes it can be a pain selling products like this, but think how much harder it would be if you had to make a product to sell first, before you could sell for these fundraisers. Fundraisers are proof that you can make money from marketing other peoples products, otherwise know as affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is the best way I know to make extra money from marketing.

The reason affiliate marketing is the best for beginners is because you do not have to have your own product to sell. From my experience the hardest part is coming up with a product to sell. Once you decide what product you are going to market, the next step is to figure out what method you are going to use to promote it. That's where these four ways come in:

* The first way is using blogs to make extra money from marketing selling affiliate products. With the popularity of blogs increasing everyday it is an easy way to get started. You can actually set up blogs for free on Blogger.com you can't get much cheaper than that.
* You can also use Myspace.com to promote your affiliate products. You network with friends, make new friends that share your interests, or even buy advertising on Myspace; all of which allow you to make extra money from marketing to them. There are numerous possibilities with just this one resource.
* Squidoo.com is another excellent choice to use to make extra money from marketing. When using Squidoo you basically make a mini-website centered around your affiliate product. Making extra money from marketing gets easier if you are advertising your affiliate products for free.
* Twitter.com is another free way to make extra money from marketing. If you have a large list of followers, every time you tweet you can be adding to your list of possible customers.

he more places you find to promote, the more extra money from marketing that can be made. Now I didn't go into great detail on each way, but they all deserve their own book to explain the hows and whys. I just wanted to let you know four ways to make extra money from marketing affiliate products.

D. Jones has turned to affiliate marketing and using the internet as a way to make extra money from marketing.

The Best Approach to Making a Real Income on the Internet Legally

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:18:00 +0000

By Willox Perez

When it comes to making a real income on the Internet legally the best approach is going to be to find a legit and affordable home based business that offers a valuable service on the Internet. Many people think that this does not exist but the truth is that it does and there are many of them for you to choose from. The one thing that you're going to have to sacrifice and dedicate is going to be your time into researching to see the different businesses that fit this criteria.

The way that you know if the business is legit is to see how long it has been around and if has been around for at least five years you definitely know that is a legit business. Most of these businesses actually offer a free trial for you to check it out and this is how you can test out how valuable their service actually is.

By getting involved in a free trial you're not going to have to worry about them charging you any money and even after the free trial is over it is a very affordable cost. The more information you are able to gather and the more people you are able to talk to that are familiar with the company that you're looking into the better and it is going to be when having to make a decision.

Besides the business being affordable and having a valuable service to offer to people you have to make sure that you're comfortable with what you're offering. The reason this is very important is because if you're not comfortable promoting the business that you are in you will not be successful because of the type of mindset that you have about it.

Do One Thing Every Day For Your Online Business

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:21:00 +0000

By Eileen Bowley

There are many people who are trying to get an online business up and running as well as holding down a full time job, bringing up a family, and looking after elderly parents.

There may be times when you just feel too overwhelmed with other things going on in your life and you just can't find time for any of your online business - and things easily begin to slip once its been left a day or two - and then it's a week since you have done anything. Then maybe 2 weeks have gone by and a bit of panic sets in so you do loads in one go - then it gets left again. And so a pattern is set. It maybe that some people think they just don't have time to fit it all in... so just drop the online business and their dreams of financial freedom and get back to what they were doing before. This is very common but it doesn't have to be like this.

One thing everyone who is setting up an online business should do, is sit down and work out how much time they can give on a daily basis. Don't worry about what anyone else is doing or achieving - you need to set what is right for you and what fits in with your lifestyle. It's a bit like running a race. Do it at your own pace and you will get to the finishing line? Some people will be in front and some will be behind (apart from if you are first or last of course!) but it doesn't matter so long as you get there in a time that suits you. Next time you can make improvements.

However, if you want your online business to work, you need to find regular time to do it as it won't happen by itself. It will take work and effort on your part - that is just the fact of the matter. We all have 24 hours in a day and sometimes we need to look at how we spend our time - much like how we spend money. Is it spent wisely or is it wasted? Look at your time and see how you can fit in at least one hour a day. If you can do more then great!

It may mean:
* getting up earlier each day
* watching less TV
* doing less housework (get someone else to do it, or just don't do so much)
* not popping into the pub after work
* not doing whatever you feel is not achieving your goals - whatever that may be

Doing one thing (at least) every day may not seem much, but think about it this way. In one years time you will have done 365 more "things" (at least).

If you do nothing...

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

How to Start Your Internet Business With Zero Capital

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:25:00 +0000

By Robert Paul Johnson

With all the social forums out there today I often meet new marketers that really want to break into the internet marketing business but don't have any start up capital. They all want to work from home making the big bucks that the pros do but don't know where to start. This article will give the beginners some useful start up tips that will get your business up and running with zero capital.

What are you good at?

Write out a list of your best skills. Your best skills can be anything. Try taking your skills from your daily routine (for example how to feed a family of five for under $10) or through your job (hands on knowledge of a specific task that you perform at work) or a hobby (bowling, making jewelry, guitar, gardening) any one of these will qualify as skills to be written on your list. Now narrow your list down to a more specific niche that you really feel there is a demand for and one you can help people with. Let's say you play guitar on a regular basis. You can build an internet business around this: write an instructional guide, how to buy a guitar that's right for you, how to practice scales and modes, you can give advice on real life experiences they don't write about in text books, etc. The best part is that you've found your niche, you already know about what you're doing, and you didn't have to spend any money to acquire this knowledge.

Now the second step, if you have no money to start your online business, is to earn some capital buy using the skills you listed.

It is almost impossible to start any business without spending some money. For an online business you will at least need to get a domain name and web hosting. With a little research you can accomplish this for less than $100.

Most social networking is free and can be used to meet people that are willing to barter with you in exchange for the things you need.

For example, look for a website designer that wants to learn to play guitar. There are people all over the internet searching for information that you already have. Just ask them to share. Soon, you just might find what you know is more valuable than you realized.

Three Top Work at Home Businesses

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Fri, 22 May 2009 08:57:00 +0000

By Megan Freed

Every day thousands of people throw money away on work at home businesses that, in reality, are a complete waste of time, effort, and money. So many of the work at home businesses out there are complete scams. The owners of these businesses take your money, which makes them rich, and then leave you hanging. You end up not making a dime.
Sometimes it is hard to tell which work at home businesses out there are real and which ones are scams, which is why so many people fall victim to the scams. Most assuredly, if a business is claiming you'll become rich overnight, it is a scam. The only way you'll get rich overnight is if you win the lottery. Also, keep in mind that just because you may be asked to pay for the information about the business does not mean that it is a scam.
A real, legitimate work at home business will give you the key steps to take to earn a real income. They will guide you through from start to finish until you are well on your way to earning a stable income. They will also share their secrets with you on how they became so successful with their business.
After much trial and error, I have come across three wonderful and informative work at home businesses. They give you step-by-step instructions on how to build your business, how to advertise your business, and how to continue to grow your business. Granted, you won't get rich overnight and you won't be able to just sit back and watch the money roll in without doing anything-at least not at first, but with a little effort and determination you can be assured that you will make money.
The first one is called My Online Income System. This is the number 1 work at home business choice. It is an extensive system for creating an internet business from home. My Online Income System was created by Kimberley Hoffman and has already shown many the path to online success.
With this program you will receive a free website already set up and ready to go. You will receive a guide that gives you step-by-step information on how to start making money, from advertising to cashing your paychecks.
The second one is called Home Cash Course. The program was created by Mackinzie Lee. This program will show you how to create a fully automated home business that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a great introduction and business plan for making money on the internet and getting your home business off the ground.
This program will also give you a free website, and gives you the secrets of success that will allow you to start bringing in a quite substantial income.
The third one is called Commission Blueprint. This program will show you how to use Clickbank to promote products to make more money than you'd ever dreamed you would make.
All three of these programs have been proven to work and all of them give you the guidance and support needed to make your business take off and start earning you money.

How to Start a Home Based Business Extremely Fast - 2 Wildly Profitable Tips You Shouldn't Miss

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:15:00 +0000

By Ian Ross Hollander

In this article we are going to talk about how to start a home based business extremely fast. Why is this such a popular topic these days? Well, in ORDINARY times, home based business tips are a popular topic, but with todays financial meltdown seemingly getting uglier on a daily basis, many of you don't have a choice, right? Layoffs are up, 401k's are down, and the growing chorus of desperate people is getting louder with each passing day.

So what is the very best way to start a home based business that makes real money?

I'll give you two ideas that work like magic, especially if you are willing to work hard, smart and get started today.

Affiliate Marketing
Selling Your Own Expertise

Why are these such easy things to start from home? Very simple. You can literally pick an affiliate market to enter in the morning,and by late day be making sales with reasonably effortless ease. How would you do it? Writing and distributing articles (like this one) for example is an extremely effective weapon, is FREE to do, and for many markets, will make you dead simple sales in 24 hours or less.

How about selling information or your own expertise? The very same process applies, and I don't care what you know.....if you are able to codify your passion into an ebook, audio podcast, digital download or any other consumable form, you can be making real money and building a TRUE home based business in 30 days or less, guaranteed.

The real secret to using either one of the above approaches is to map out all of the marketing before you begin. Why? In my experience, many a great idea has failed simply because while the vision may be great, the strategy (and system) to getting it done falls well short. But no worries - it's easy to do, and once you get a good system in place, scaling it UP and out is simple, fast....and fun as well!

Affiliate Marketing - Great Way to Earn an Income During the Financial Crisis

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:09:00 +0000

By Amanda Isbitt

Given the shaky state of the economy at present, many people are trying to find ways to increase their income and protect themselves in case their job is subject to a round of layoffs or outright elimination by companies looking to cut labor costs. You're most likely one of these people yourself and you want to find a way to earn an income in your spare time where you can work from the comfort and privacy of your own home - if you're already working full time, you certainly don't want to take on another job and another commute. Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and most reliable types of online business to become involved in.

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between you (the affiliate) and a business which has a product or service to sell (the merchant). You promote the merchant's wares, usually by means of a link or a banner ad on your website and you are paid on a commission basis for the paying customers you refer to the merchant.

Every time that you refer someone to their site and they make a purchase, you will earn money! Commissions are usually paid on a bi-weekly or a monthly basis and if you choose the right product and market it well, you can generate a substantial income as an affiliate marketer.

While you can make good money in affiliate marketing without spending too much time on it, it's important to remember that you can't simply throw the merchant's link on your website and expect to make a lot of money with no further effort. You should make sure that your website provides well written content which people will want to read and revisit - and your content should be relevant to the product or service you are marketing. This will make your audience one which is a lot more receptive to the idea of buying the merchant's product or service.

You'll probably want to do a little market research ahead of time to find out what products are in demand. You could have the best website and the best marketing campaign ever; but without a product which people actually want, you won't find yourself making a lot of money as an affiliate. You can research on message boards and forums to see what people are interested in and try to find a product or service which caters to this. When you have a product which fills a genuine need in the market, you'll have a much easier time selling it.

Most of the work involved in affiliate marketing is getting people to your website, so that they can have an opportunity to click on the merchant's link and allow you to start earning commissions. There are a lot of different ways to promote your website, but it all starts with quality content. Put yourself in your target market's shoes and try to produce content of your site that you would be excited to read if you were them.

Legitimate Work From Home Business - Everything That Glitters Ain't Gold!

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:59:00 +0000

by Kylon Trower

Everybody is looking at at home businesses on and off the internet but the reality is to find a legitimate work from home business is a not as easy as it may seem . With so many options to choose from I recommend taking caution before you decide to throw your hat in the ring or your money and reputation could soon follow.

Now this isn't meant to be a deterrent from your work from home opportunity seeking efforts, however, it is meant to serve the role of giving ample direction as you seek out a legitimate work from home business. In a nutshell, everything that glitters ain't gold!

Many websites and advertisements all over promise instant wealth, big houses and cars and the idea that fortune is right around the corner. Very few talk about long term commitments, hard work and the sacrifice required to achieve these things. Even fewer really talk about the real tools and training or as I call it "The ghost in the machine" that is hidden behind the flash and the video of the trip to the Caribbean you see in many marketing materials.

Now I'm not opposed to showing people the success that hard work has afforded me and my family, however, for that to be the only message can really cause people to get the wrong impression and make bad decisions to join even the most legitimate work from home business. Setting proper expectations for people is critically important and should not be taken lightly. I speak more about this in detail on my website if you are interested in getting more information.

of what opportunity you pursue, remember that marketing will be the most critical factor in your ultimate success or failure. For more details on marketing visit our website for free information and training.

Top 3 SEO Tips of 2008

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:09:00 +0000

by: Scott Jason

Since 1998 I've spent the first several months of each year looking for the very best search engine optimization (SEO) tips of the previous year's end. This year I've come across the best SEO tips yet.

SEO Tip #1: Make Google Alerts Your Personal Online Spy

Google Alerts is a great way to let the world's biggest search engine be your personal online spy. This takes search engine optimization insider info to whole new level. Here's an excerpt straight from Google....

"Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

* monitoring a developing news story
* keeping current on a competitor or industry
* getting the latest on a celebrity or event
* keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams"

As you probably guessed, it's the second one we care about most, "keeping current on a competitor or industry."

Here's how it works... Each time Google finds a reference to the query or topic you request you will be sent an email with the details. This is like having an online spy to make sure competitors are not using your protected keywords (trademarked names, company names, etc.) It's also an instant identifier to know when your site or product is mentioned in a news story or even when a topic is hot so you can take advantage of the situation. It's the easiest way in the world to stop competitors' dirty tricks and identify trends that you can take instant advantage of.

It's fast, free and works every minute of every day. Let Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) do your most time consuming legwork while you reap the rewards!

SEO Tip #2: Optimize Your 404 Page and Always Be Found

"Error 404: Page Not Found" is a blessing that most Webmasters curse. Why? Getting a visitor on any page of your site is fantastic! Don't blow the opportunity. Not only can you make your "404" page a valuable sales tool, you can use the following search engine optimization techniques to attract customers in droves.

A.) Use your main keyword in your title, add a "pipe" (usually above the Enter key) and then use your secondary keyword. Here's as example for an SEO site "SEO - Search Engine Optimization Tips"

B.) Add some keyword rich content using one to two keywords for the page. If you have less than 250 words on the page, just use one keyword and use it no more than three times total. Bold the first use and italicize the second or third use. Keep in mind this is an "inactive" page so simply tell the visitor what your site is about and whet their appetite with a good description. Something like this works well... "Thank you for visiting SEO (bold) Group, Inc. We are sorry you landed on a missing page but don't worry, if you're looking for the very best search engine optimizations tips (bold), you're at the right place..." This will go on for a couple paragraphs or as long as you'd like then end it with something to the effect of "Please Click Here (link) to visit our site map or click any link to the left."

C.) Add your site's standard navigation system (bar, column, etc.) as mentioned above.

D.) Make the look and feel of the customized 404 page match your main site as closely as possible with a template, matched palette, cascading style sheets, etc.

E.) Create a link to the site map page if available, and make the link easy to find. You want your visitor off the 404 page and into your main content as quickly as possible.

Setting up a custom 404 page link usually takes less than five minutes on most major Web hosting companies like Godaddy.com. But whatever it takes, it's worth the effort.

SEO Tip #3: Get (Even More) Serious About Linking

I saved the most important for last. If you want to do well on any search engine, especially Google, linking is THE single MOST important thing you can do. It's that simple.

Here are the five things you MUST do to make your site #1 on Google:

A.) Find the highest page rank sites linking to your site AND your competitors' sites.

B.) Run monthly link campaigns and snatch up the best of the above identified Web sites.

C.) Run regular checks on what pages are still linking back to your site. Alsomake sure they did not move you from a high page rank page to a lower one (don't get cheated!)

D.) Eliminate any penalized sites you link to; ASAP!

E.) Check your search engine ranking AND your competitor's for each of your keywords every week. Do this, at the minimum, for Google, Yahoo, MSN and Alta Vista.

Inside Tip: Keeping up can be a lot of work so a lot of SEO Consultants (myself included) use SEO Elite (http://www.SEOeliteWeb.com) to do all the most difficult and time consuming work.

One last thing to know is that Google was originally a college student's project created for the sole purpose of defining a Web site's value by the sites that link to it. Twelve years later this is still it's main job. Linking is EVERYTHING to Google.

These few SEO tips are the very best of the best so use them wisely. Best of luck!

This means free traffic and revenue, but when you get it wrong; you are lost forever.

HOW DO YOU START YOUR KEYWORD RESEARCH?

For you to have successful keyword research, start by seeing yourself as one of those people your product will serve and then proceed to the search engine to use those words that they are likely going to use when looking for service your site providing. When the result appears, I recommend you take a look at the first two website, peep into their keyword meta tag, this will help you see other keywords they are using, bearing in mind that they are the competition you will face.Then go back to google put this your keyword in quote to help you know your exact competition.Also using the title before the quotes returns the exact number of sites that use the keywords on their title page as this is also important factor in your online business website optimization.

EXPAND YOUR KEYWORD

Now you have your keywords that are related to your online business, is time to find other words or phrase that people are also using when the search for the service or product you are providing.

Here you will need keyword tools provided by google adword keyword tool

You will see that some of these keywords are not related to your business, those with much competition and low conversion rate drop them and choose those words that you have content for, check how many result google returned for each of the keywords, remove those with more than 10000 results, broad terms and focuse on longtail keywords that will bring quality traffic to your website; you don’t need people who search for words, what you need is people who are searching for your service.

How to Avoid Getting Your Ads Deleted on Craigslist

How to Avoid Getting Your Ads Deleted on Craigslist

The Immense traffic and loyal following of Craigslist makes it an ideal place to put advertisements for your products or business opportunity. Yet anyone who has ever tried Craigslist has no doubt experienced the dismay of the following situation:

After typing out your carefully-worded ad, you insert your product picture, preview it, hit Submit, and sit back. You wait on the edge of your seat for the confirmation, and five minutes later there rolls in an email saying, 'YOUR POST HAS BEEN FLAGGED AND DELETED.’

GAH!

How and why does this happen?

In this article I am going to teach you two important tips for how to avoid this. To begin with, let's look at the two questions we asked above:

Why does this happen? In the words of the great Jim Rohn, "I wouldn't register for that class." Don't spend your time pondering WHY Craigslist operates this way, "It's just the way it is." Instead, consider,

HOW does this happen? In order to serve its readers Craigslist strives to offer as much content that is

a) UNIQUE, and
b) RELEVANT to its readers' interests.
c) NOT SATURATING the same market

If you can submit your ads in a fashion that fulfills these three criteria, you will be able to successfully post Craigslist ads every day. Let's go through each of the three so that you can learn how.

I. UNIQUE CONTENT

Submitting the exact same ad will get your pitch tossed out faster than a strip-club advertisement on an elementary school bulletin board. In fact, it may be bounced as soon as you hit Submit, if the Craigslist database can match it to an existing ad you already have out there. How to Generate ‘Unique’ Content for Craigslist Purposes Without Having to Write Lots of Ads

1) Start a Word Document
2) Copy and paste in any ads that you already have
3) Go to your back office and copy any and all sample classified ads, AND sales letters, and paste these into the document
4) Have your sponsor email you all of his/her classified ads and sales letters, and paste these into the document too.
5) If anyone else’s names or contact info is on any of these ads, Hit CTRL-H to Find and Replace. Type in their info in Find, and Your Info in Replace. This will automatically take out the other person’s info and populate the document with yours instead. Example: If my website is http://YourWealthBeginsHere.com and the ad shows http://PassportMentors.com, I would fill in the Passport Mentors site in Find and fill in my Wealth Begins Here site in Replace.
6) Go over all the ads in your document and double-check that each has your name, phone number, website, email, or whatever business contact information you want to provide.
7) Add to this list whenever you feel inspiration to write an ad, or when you see one you like and want to copy!

You now have a veritable DATABASE of ‘Unique’ (and by Unique, I mean Different) advertisements that you can post to Craigslist! You will want to build up a list of at least 30, all with different catchy titles.

Now you will want to start posting ONE per day. Start at the top, and do a different ad each day. That should take you through the month, and at the end, you can just start over at the top!

That’s right. It varies, but generally 30 days is a safe enough period of time for Craigslist to have ‘forgotten’ your ad. If you want to be extra cautious, you can also make a few minor changes, like adding an extra link, putting in a different picture, etc.

VOILA! You now have a source of endless daily Craigslist ads that you can use over and over again instead of having to sit and wrack your brain for a new ad every time you want to post one!

Question?

BUT BUT ROB…I did what you said, I compiled a whole mess of ads, but Craigslist is still deleting them!!

That’s because you just went and started posting instead of reading about the other reasons that Craigslist deletes your posts! Congratulations for those of you who exerted the patience to keep learning instead of running off like that trigger-happy marketer.

II. Content RELEVANT to Channel Posted

Craigslist has many different channels in which to post your advertisements. If you are posting ads for your business opportunity in Beauty Services or Clothing, then Craigslist will deem them irrelevant to the reader and delete them. So not only must you be posting different advertisements, but you must be posting them in the proper channel.

How do I know what the proper channel is?

Let your common sense guide you. If you are trying to sell a sofa, then post your ad in the furniture channel. If you are trying to sell a business opportunity, then post it in the For Sale: Business of Services: Small Biz Ads channels. I alter back and forth between the two and get good results from both.

If it isn’t clear-cut where your ad should go (and it usually IS), just give it your best estimate of what channel interested readers would most likely be found.

OK, I DID THAT, I’M POSTING IN THE RIGHT CHANNELS, I’M DOING EVERYTHING YOU SAID, BUT CRAIGSLIST IS STILL DELETING MY POSTS, ROB YOU @%@!

Calm down, Beavis. Read on for the final secret to finding love on Craigslist (and by love, I mean tons of sales).

III. Content that is Not Saturating the SAME MARKET

Craigslist gives us the option of posting our ads in every major US city and several other countries as well. But, if you keep posting your advertisements in the same city, they will be deleted. Craigslist does not want their readers to have to see the ‘same thing’, even if it is a different ad. So if posting day after day in the same city is out, how do you decide where to post?

Do a little demographic research. A quick Google search should help you. For example, if you are selling weight-loss products, then Google “America’s Most Obese Cities”. If you are selling a business opportunity, then Google “Top US Cities for Entrepeneurs”, or something similar.

Write yourself a list with the top ten or fifteen cities. This will accomplish two things:

a) You will be getting your advertisement in front of a targeted audience
b) Craigslist won’t be deleting your ads!

Post a different ad in a different city every day. When you reach the end of your targeted cities, restart at the top, rinse and repeat!

So, to recap: the secret to success with Craigslist is as follows:

Post UNIQUE content in the APPROPRIATE CHANNELS and don’t saturate the SAME city.

I wish you much success with the incredible marketing tool that is Craigslist. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to reply.

Kindest Regards,

8 Proven Points To Make A Home Business Website Profitable

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:01:00 +0000

by: Juhani Tontti

It is a miracle how the most successful home business websites have so much in common, despite of the fact that they look so different. This cannot be a co-incident.

One common feature is that these successful sites are likable and somehow easy to use. Everything looks so clear, so it is easy to judge whether you like it or not.

They look so simple, that I often ask, what special they have and how they have become so successful? It seems that the simpler and the more user friendly the site is, the better chances it has to create big sales.

Very clearly one big success factor is that the finetuning work should concentrate to take away all the unnecessary elements and non-selling links.

1. Winning Element: Attention Grabbing Title.

The title is absolutely the most important element of the site. It should contain the promise and to describe the content of the site.

A Great Title informs in a catchy way that this website includes the benefits about this topic.

The headline should be written well and it should stand out from the rest of the copy. It also should be the first element, which catches the visitor attention in seconds, because if it does not do that, the visitor continues the surfing.

2. Winning Element: Well Written Copy.

The Internet is the information highway, so the role of the copy is very important, this is the world of the words. The copy should draw the readers attention immediately to the benefits your offer give to him.

The style is important and the target is to build up the trust from the first contact. The copy should make the reader enthusiastic about the benefits but it should not use hype style overpromises, because they will destroy the trust.

3. Winning Element: Easy Site Navigation.

This is the technical must, because nothing drives the visitors away faster than the bad navigation. The site structure should be clear and logical, so that the visitor knows all the time, where he is and to where he could go from here.

The menu should be the same on every page and clearly accessible and also easy to understand. The terms should be clear, despite of the fact that you may want to use internet home business keyphrases.

4. Winning Element: Call To Action.

After the copy has presented the main benefits it is the time to call the reader into action. The clearnes is important. The visitor hates the situation, when he does not know, what to do next so it is better to call him to action and not to leave him guessing? Action is everything and we have to call the reader to do that.

One good way is to lower the bar, i.e. to offer a cheap or free trial opportunity for some weeks, before the reader will buy the product. The efficiency is the better, the more often you call the reader into action.

5. Winning Element: Images.

One picture tells more than thousand words. You should include photos of every product you sell, because they make the products more real, than the copy alone.

To make the navigation easier, you can use thumbnails instead of big images, which link to larger images. This speed up the page loadings.

6. Winning Element: Optin Form.

Most of the internet home business visitors needs at least five contacts before they will buy. It is important to get the website visitor`s name and email address in the early stage, because otherwise they can leave the site and you will never see them again.

In this process you have to give them a gift, an email course, a free e-book or something like that, which again will sell your offer later on. Now you can send them messages during a long period of time, which clearly makes the process more productive.

7. Winning Element: About Us Section.

The idea of every internet home business site is to build trust over a long period of time. This requires that you tell enough about yourself and give your contact information for further questions.

All big home business brands are build by stories, so can you also do. The idea of the story is to give enough information about you and to show that there is a real person working for the customers. This shows people that there is a real people behind the business.

8. Winning Element: Site Freshness.

People and search engines love unique, fresh information. A successful home business website goes through regular changes and additions. The visitor sees immediately that it is up to date.

It is useful to look the competing sites in your internet home business niche, because they are a great source of new ideas. Another idea is to make sure your site can stand out from the crowd.

The marketing is very important but the key is still the quality of your internet home business site. It makes the people to come back and it is the real place, where they can reach you and your offers.

5 Essential Ingredients of a Successful Online Work at Home Business

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:25:00 +0000

by: stan tomaszewski

The internet changes daily as far as what works and what doesn't when it comes to making money online.

If you are new to work at home online businesses, your head can spin with all the hype, sales pitches , and outright lies as far as the reality of starting up an online home based business.

There are however a few things to look for in your search for a work at home business that can become some nice additional income, or even better, your "job". Working at home, generating $1000 a day is far from what I call a "job".

To help ease your frustration, and point you in the right direction for what you should be looking for in today's online marketplace, the following summarizes the 5 essential ingredients in a winning work at home online business opportunity.

Later in this brief overview, I will offer a "secret" to online success that is rarely mentioned in the many articles written on the subject.

1. SYSTEM- This may be the most crucial item to your success. You need a System that generates prospects, educates them on your business opportunity, sorts and weeds out those that are not interested in your offer, then closes the sale at a conversion rate that ensures profitability. The System must be as automated as possible so you aren't spending hours cold calling or following up with people that are probably not interested, then trying to use your sales closing skills to make a sale.

Think of the successful off line businesses such as McDonalds, Tim Hortons or Subway. Do you think they could duplicate those businesses all over the country, setting up new franchise owners to run these businesses, without a SYSTEM that works?

2. BIG Profits- This is important as the advertising needed to result in sales can be quite costly. For some $1000 price point business programs, it isn't unusual to spend $200, $400 or even $600 to make that $1000 sale. Of course, there are ways to also spend $0 in advertising, but the reality is advertising is often on the range where to make $1, you may need to spend $0.40. Your profit is still $0.60. Would you do that over and over if you had a automated system in place to make this happen? Big Profits allows enough profit so your advertising cost is well covered by your selling price. You can't do much advertising to make a profit on selling a $20 ebook for example.

3. Hot Products- Yes, the product must be tangible and have use and value. There are many new business opportunities that offer $75,000 or more worth of downloadable products that sell for $1000. That's pretty HOT, and full of value. Having a product that can be downloaded, means NO shipping. Now that is just way too easy.

4. Leads and Traffic- This is probably the most perplexing for most new work at home business owners. An online business will never make any money without a source of leads (prospects). The key to providing leads to an online business is they need to be targeted.

This means you need to advertise to a niche market of people looking for exactly what your offers. Seems so simple a concept, but so may people struggle in building their prospect list.

5. Support and Training- as with any business start up, you need to learn your work at home online business program.Make sure that your business program has ample training and resources so you know exactly what to do to get those prospects to your System. This is not always easy to figure out when doing your due diligence on an offer.

As a suggestion, make sure you ask for examples of where and how you will advertise. Also ask where will you get the wording for the ads,who will write the ad copy and the followup messages, what the conversion rates are for your system. If your sponsor can't provide good answers, then they may not be that successful themselves.

This is just a brief overview of what today's online business programs need to cut through the many offers out there and make your business stand out to others.

Earlier I mentioned I'd offer a "secret" to successful online work at home business programs that is rarely mentioned in the various sales pitches. The true secret just might be you.

Most people do not realize they are starting up a real business. There will be ups and downs, profitability may not come overnight, or you may expect riches in the first few days.

I am sure some people have had such success, but most starting out, very likely start with leads, no prior list of prospects, and a small advertising budget. You then need to make good decisions to leverage your sales to grow your business.

The best way to accomplish an online business start up is with the very best automated SYSTEM. Then you can spend most of your time on advertising and growing your prospect list- leaving the rest to the system to close sales which will deliver you paying customers. Then you can train your new customers to do what you know how to do!

For more information on automated systems, please take a look at our main business review website.

To your success!

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Secret Search Engine Optimization Strategies: How to Turn Keywords into Conversions

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:14:00 +0000

by: Derek Gehl

Are you focusing your search engine optimization efforts on getting tons of traffic from the search engines? If you answered yes, then I am about to tell you something completely different from other Internet Marketers.

Forget about getting tons of traffic from the search engines. Get LESS traffic that converts MORE! The Secret to Turning Keywords into Conversions is to Keep Your Keywords Focused.

For example, if your site sells an all-natural remedy for acid stomach problems...

You start to do your keyword research and you discover that the keyword phrase "natural remedies" has 288 daily searches. But it has over 2,000,000 sites competing for it.

While the phrase, "acid reflux natural remedies" has 67 daily searches with just over 11,000 competing sites. Do you want to spend all your time and effort trying to optimize your website for the first keyword phrase?

You may get more searches, but you'll never know how many of those searchers want to buy your stomach acid remedy. Not to mention the HUGE number of competitors the keyword has!

Or would you go for the second term, which only has 67 people searching for it -- knowing those 67 people are looking for EXACTLY what you offer? And, it has a MUCH lower competition number to boot!

Obviously, the second term is better!

Sure, you might get less traffic -- but the visitors you DO get will be MUCH more likely to buy your product. Why You Will Make More Money with Less Traffic That Converts More...

People search the Internet to find a solution to a problem and not necessarily to buy something. So what problems will they solve by coming to your website? Think of a keyword as a "problem statement" that someone would type into the search engines.

When you can match your keywords to the exact problems they're trying to solve. You'll attract the BEST visitors to your site so you can focus all your optimization efforts on them!

Here are some more keyword research tips that will help you turn keywords into conversions…

Top Search Engine Optimization Tips for Finding Highly Focused Keywords That Will Bring the Absolute Best Buyers to Your Website:

Check your server logs. See what keyword phrases people are actually using to find your site. If there's something relevant that you've overlooked, build a page focused on that keyword phrase.

Also look for keywords that are causing people to leave right away because they're not finding what they're looking for. Ditch those keywords immediately. Look for "intention." Say you sell cross-country ski equipment. People can come to your website looking for different things.

For instance:

*They're looking to buy a specific product
*They're looking for product reviews
*They want information on how to get started in cross-country skiing
*They want used or discount equipment
*They want to know what kind of equipment will be best for them
*They want to know what's new and hot in cross-country ski equipment

Same products -- far different intentions!

If you optimize a page (or pages) for each different problem people are trying to solve, you'll give them what they're looking for…

That means they'll stay on your site longer -- and you'll have a better chance of getting them into the sales process. Check out your competition. What keywords are your competitors optimizing for, and on what pages?

How to Make Free Money Online With Affiliate Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (remyhenry) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:39:00 +0000

By Jonny Andrews

With the economy in dire straits it's no wonder why so many people are flocking to the internet seeking ways to make money. But with the overwhelming prevalence of idiots trying to pedal the American Dream in downloadable form it makes a person wonder just what is or is not real.

If you've spent any time online gazing into the murky depths of the Make Money Online pool you probably have a few questions... one of them being "Is it really possible?"

That's fair. In fact any intelligent person would have to question their sanity after going through another $24million in 24 hours online product launch! It boggles the mind.

But I assure you these things are real. And just as the rewards are real... so are the dangers.

I have been lucky enough to become one of the successful people out there with what some would call an "autopilot" business. And I can tell you, after looking back at it all there are a great many risks involved.

The first one being cost.

For you to see your first online sales you do not need a website, you do not need to buy anything and you most certainly do not need your own product. What you do need is the ability to communicate with other people on an intelligent level and offer a suggestion.

This is the basis for what is called "affiliate marketing". It is very simply selling other peoples products and getting a cut.

Some great places to get started with this are ClickBank, PayDotCom as well as hundreds of other affiliate program merchant locations.

Free. Did I mention how to do it for free?

Here are the tools you will need to make money online for nothing:

#1: A product that you can personally stand behind. Something you can and maybe use and would feel comfortable telling others about.

#2: A method to get your word out to the masses. This could be in the form of article marketing or blogging.

#3: The ability to write not to sell... but to get the person to click your link and see for themselves what this product you're talking about can really do.

That last part, that's the one where most people trip up. You see, everyone seems to want to "sell" to everyone else... but that's not how you make money. You make money when you communicate an idea and when you become a friend to that person.

Remember this above all else: when you promote a product as an affiliate it is not your job to "close the deal". Your job is to get the person to take the next step. That next step is to click your affiliate link and move onto the sales letter.

Leave the closing to those letters... that's why folks like me have them!

Beginners Guide To Blogging

How Do I Start Blogging?

Blogs are one of the hottest things online today. So many people seem to be doing it and loving it. And, even better, making money from it. There is a good chance that you have thought of putting together a blog of your own. If so, you have no doubt asked yourself, "How do I start blogging?"

To those who have never done anything like starting a blog before, it can probably seem like a mysterious and complicated process. But starting a blog is actually much easier than you think. In fact, one of the common comments from new bloggers is, "I can't believe how easy it was."

Here are a few tips that will help you get your blog up and running.

Choose Your Topic or Niche

The first step is to choose your topic. Ask yourself what you want to write about?

The great thing about blogs is that you can write about things you care about and are interested in, and still make money from it. So think about your hobbies and interests. What are the things you like to do? What are the things you are interested in? What are the things you like learning more about? Many of the possibilities on your list would make great topics for your first blog.

Choose Your Platform

One of the most important questions a blogger has to ask themselves is whether they should use a third party blog host, or maintain their blog on their own web host.

If you are new to blogging, you will probably want to use a free, third-party host like Blogger to start out with. With that service, all you have to do is sign up and start posting.

You can also choose to maintain your blog on your own web host. In that case, you can use WordPress, which is free and easy to install. In fact, with most web hosts, you can install it in just a few clicks, and have your blog up and running in less than ten minutes.

Post Daily

When you first start your blog, try to post in it daily for at least a week.

There are two good reasons for this. First, it will give you a good head start, and help to fill up your currently empty site with good content. And, secondly, posting frequently will help you quickly get comfortable with the process of writing posts, and using the blogging software.

If you have been asking yourself, "How do I start blogging?" these are the three easy steps you should follow. As simple as that, you can have your blog up and running. And, once you get your first one off the ground, your second, and third, and fourth will be even easier.
