14. April 2018 · Comments Off on Five Most Effective Internet Marketing Tools · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Titus Hoskins Like any industry, Internet Marketing has its own special marketing tools and methods. Many of these marketing tools may already be familiar to you: autoresponders, SEO software, link-building systems, content management programs, affiliate software… and the list goes on. However, Internet Marketing has other more effective, non-traditional marketing tools every marketer should know about if they want to reach their full potential as online marketers. Some of these marketing tools come cleverly disguised or camouflaged, with many surfers or customers completely unaware that they’re receiving a sales-pitch.

Yet, these innocent and simple sales techniques are some of the most effective marketing tools on the web. For anyone involved in Internet Marketing or for anyone wishing to become involved, a quick rundown of these marketing tools may prove helpful. Here’s a brief list and a few pointers on how to effectively use these marketing tools. 1. Domain Name Lets start at the very beginning. Your domain name should be considered your first Internet marketing tool. Pick it right and your domain name can also be your most effective marketing tool. Get it wrong and it may spell game over. Most marketers agree you should pick a short memorable keyword-related domain name. For example, www.hotels.com, it’s easy to remember/spell and it tells you exactly what the site is about. Picking a domain directly related to the keyword or keywords of your site will help greatly in obtaining a high ranking for your site with the search engines. Not to mention, it will be a great marketing and promotional tool, telling your potential customers exactly what your site is promoting and displaying. On the other hand, some marketers suggest you opt for a short jazzy name that can be easily remembered by your visitors. Ebay, Google, Napster, Yahoo… regardless of which route you take, make sure you examine all the marketing potential before you pick your domain name. The right domain name can be one of your most effective marketing tools on the world wide web. Many experts also suggest you only set up a dedicated server for your domain or domains. A dedicated server only carries one domain. Most hosting companies (for economic reasons) often share hosting servers, i.e. your domain is co-hosted with hundreds of other domains on the same server. Since you will be using the same IP address this may have dire consequences if one of the domains is accused of spamming or some other unscrupulous behavior. Even if you can’t afford a dedicated server, it would be wise (for SEO purposes) to have a separate IP address for each domain you own. Most hosting companies provide this service for a small fee. 2. Keywords Keywords, what surfers type into search engines to find what they’re looking for, are the real building blocks of the web. They are the single most important element in any online marketing venture. Pick the right keywords and you’re in business, pick the wrong keywords and again, it’s game over. Therefore, you must have special keyword software or use some online sites or services to help you pick the right keywords. Many top marketers use WordTracker.

com, GoodKeywords.com, or the new Keyword Elite by Brad Callen. A superior keyword research product will supply valuable information: number of searches made each month, amount of competition and the top sites targeting your keywords. Remember, you must target the right keywords with your site or online marketing. Targeted keywords draw targeted traffic (customers) to your sites or products. The right keyword software or program will have a direct correlation to the success or failure of your online marketing efforts. So choose wisely! 3. Articles Many marketers believe in and rely upon purely organic SEO techniques for marketing their sites. One simple method of organic SEO is writing and submitting keyword related articles around the topic of your website with links back to your site. As other sites display your articles you gain valuable one-way links back to your site. Search engines then follow all of these links and rank your site highly for the keywords in these articles. For this reason the modest article may prove to be the single most important marketing tool you have in your arsenal. As your site becomes highly ranked for these keywords, other sites will want to link to your site in order to become optimized for those same keywords… article keyword marketing is one of the most effective Internet marketing tools at your disposal. Used properly if can position your site in the search engines and bring in all that highly prized targeted traffic. Keep in mind, many Internet marketers have side-stepped the whole SEO optimization process by going directly to search engines and buying their traffic with PPC pay-per-click advertising.

Overture and Google Adwords program are good examples of this method. Marketers bid on clicks to their site’s keywords and bring in targeted customers. In knowledgeable hands, PPC marketing is an extremely effective and lucrative marketing tool. 4. Lists The backbone of any Internet marketing system is the list. It is another marketing tool you can’t do without. The list is simply a large database of contacts, people who have given you permission to email or contact them. These are subscribers who have opted-in to your ezine or newsletter. Most successful marketers keep countless different databases for each product or topic they’re targeting with their marketing. Ezines or newsletters are vital Internet Marketing tools that no online business should ignore. It is essential you keep in contact/touch with your past and future customers. You must build an ongoing relationship and connection with your customers. Besides your ezine or newsletter, many marketers also set up lists of affiliates to help promote and sell their products. Never underestimate the power of an affiliate system as an effective marketing tool. It is the stuff Empires are made of! Once a marketer has acquired a large list of loyal contacts or affiliates – the flood waters open up. Opportunities for JVs or Joint Ventures with other online marketers make for serious cash flow. 5. Blogs And RSS Feeds Blogging and RSS feeds have become essential marketing tools for savvy online marketers. Online journals or blogs are all the rage, especially in the marketing field.

These blogging systems such as WordPress are great content management tools that will quickly build a content-rich site, pulling in targeted traffic from the search engines.

Search engines are enamored with blogs and RSS feeds mainly because blogs provide fresh content, the main lifeblood of every good search engine. For this reason no site should be without a blog and RSS feed, it will keep your content regularly visited and indexed by the search engines. In addition, all that information and content is a perfect tool for drawing potential customers to your products and services. Along with your domains, lists, keywords, and articles – blogs are effective marketing tools that will play an important role in the success of your online marketing. In the right hands, these Internet marketing tools can work magic on any company’s bottom line. They are some of Internet Marketing’s most effective tools. You don’t have to think outside of the box, you just have to know what makes up the box!

14. April 2012 · Comments Off on Web Design – Why Is Content So Important? · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

What a strange title.

Of course content is important! Why bring it up? That is a good question.

The reason I bring it up is because for many web designers there seems to be the attitude that they should simply provide several areas of fixed content that may appeal to search engines. For most web designers this is a time saving tactic that bows to the notion that a site MUST be Search Engine optimized (SEO) without thinking about the life of the website post-launch. Sometimes the online business owner does not fully understand the role of fresh content to the improved status of their website. In most cases the business owner is simply anxious to get the site developed and launched and hasn’t taken the time to wonder what happens after it goes live. The web designer may not bring this up either. It is not that the web designer may not want the best for you, but they also know it may be labor intensive thus time consuming for them. They may also realize you might not have significant new data to include. Fresh content can be culled from a variety of locations. You can develop fresh content on your own or you can ask vendors for content that they may have that could be dropped into the website as needed. One of the best tools for gaining fresh, topic-specific content is through a free articles directory. This can solve some of the issues surrounding the need for content, but it may not address the ease with which you may want to see when it comes to placement of the content. What I mean by that is that your web designer may be the one responsible for alterations to your site, but they may also be busy enough that your request may not gain first priority. Some site owners report requested changes to their website can take days, weeks and sometimes months for their web designer to manage.

In some cases it seems to online business owners that the web designer is only interested in getting you up and running, but does not care as deeply for the day to day changes you may need. While there are some very responsive web designers available there is also a more personal solution to making content alterations to your website that functions on a timetable of your choosing. Web builder technology allows you to develop and maintain your website when and how you want without the need for a third party designer. In a world where SEO is so important to online business it is important to be able to keep your site fresh. If a web designer is not able to keep up with your needs it may be important to explore the possibility of web builder technology. In many cases you can develop multiple articles for release and place an embargo on the content until a certain day and time. What this means is you can develop a months worth of articles and instruct the software when you want it to place the content online. Imagine being on a business trip and still having new content placed on your site in your absence. You can be your own web designer. The results are positive, the responsiveness is immediate and the costs are significantly less than other alternatives.

14. April 2012 · Comments Off on Product Launching – The Tale Of Two Products · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

One of the key questions you will need to ask when it comes to product launching is an important one in relation to how you market the product. The question is this – what is the sales potential of the item you will be selling? In our tale of two products we look first at a hand crafted wooden box. This box has hand carved accents on the top and comes with a velvet-lined interior. These boxes are also the work of one recognized wood artisan. Several movie stars and even a few well-known politicians have commissioned special editions of these wooden boxes. When these special editions are ordered it typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete and orders must be insured when shipped.

The second product is also a wooden box.

It is machine tooled. It has a felt lining that is placed on an assembly line. Thousands of these boxes can be assembled each day and orders are often shipped out overnight. These boxes can be customized for corporate giving and artwork can be laser engraved with names and company logos. The box is designed to hold other specialty gift items from the company catalogue. It doesn’t take long to see that the primary difference between these two similar products might be the difference between a Rolex and a Timex. The first product is a product of luxury, an item designed to be an heirloom and one that will not be found in most homes. The second product will likely be a tasteful gift presented at company Christmas parties and as a cherished gift among friends and family. It is both a deluxe carrying case for other products and a keepsake for other bits of memorabilia. This tale of two products looks at the law of supply and demand. In the first case the supply is limited and the demand is generally slightly higher than available stock. What this means is that the consumer places a higher premium on the product and is more than willing to compensate the artisan for their one of a kind work. In the end fewer units will be sold, but the price per unit will be significantly higher than other wooden box manufacturers. The second scenario will typically find a ready supply of the assembly line boxes with quick turn around on customized boxes. While this will not be an inexpensive gift it will be an affordable gift. The business owner will accept a lower profit margin simply because they believe they can sell enough units to improve their overall bottom line profits.

Which company will succeed? Perhaps both. The move toward product launching will likely have you seeking to identify if this is a highly specialized product or something that has mass appeal and is easy to manufacture. Once that is determined it is possible to develop a marketing strategy that is in concert with your actual business needs. This is an important step when moving toward the launching of any new product in your online store.

13. April 2012 · Comments Off on Managing Customer Complaints With Your Business · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Part of owning a home business is providing customer service to your clients.

There is a great deal of information that can be helpful when providing customer service. One issue that should be addressed is managing customer complaints for your home business. There is no way to keep everyone happy all of the time. When you market products and services, there is sure to be someone that is going to have a complaint. Complaints are fine for a home business as long as you manage them well and turn the experience into a good one. A customer may be in a bad mood and end up taking it out on you. No matter how belligerent, rude or nasty the customer may be to you, it is important to not take it personally. You have no idea what happened in that person’s life that day or even week. Unfortunately, for whatever reason they may end up taking their anger and frustration with life out on you without even realizing it. Even if you know that they realize it, you still cannot take it personally. Taking customer complaints personally will create a volatile situation that you want to completely avoid. Remember that no matter what the complaint, it is not personal toward you specifically. After the customer has calmed down, try and ascertain what the exact problem is that has upset them. Was the product different than they expected? Was the shipping delayed? Find out what the actual problem is that has upset the customer and caused them to complain. Immediately apologize to the customer. The best way to apologize is to tell the customer that you are sorry that they feel blank. For example, if the shipping took too long. You can say to the customer that you are sorry that they feel the shipping took too long to get the product to their house. This is not admitting fault because you are simply acknowledging their feelings. For a complaint that there is no solution try and offer something to the customer. For example, if the shipping took too long in the customer’s eyes, offer a discount on their next purchase. Offer to provide them with free shipping next time if you charge shipping for your wellness products. As the last resort, you can give them a partial refund for their product. When determining a refund, calculate how much the product cost you. Make certain that the product is cost is covered and refund the profit. This will enable you to refund them a bit without losing a great deal of money or completely giving the items away for free.

For a complaint that there is a solution, fix the problem immediately. For example, if the product arrived in poor condition. Go ahead and ship another product to the customer and ask them to ship the poor condition product back to you. Don’t wait until you receive their item to replace it. The majority of time people will not keep both products. Let the customer know what solution you offer for fixing the situation immediately. This will let them know that you care about their happiness with your wellness products and services. If the customer cannot be satisfied with any solution that you offer for the problem, ask them to give you a suggestion. In a calm voice ask them what they recommend that you do to rectify the situation for them. Often if they don’t have a solution they will be more willing to accept one of your previous suggestions. Remember that a happy customer is going to repeat sales and spread the word about your products and services for your new home business.

Stopping thieves start with you and starts with me. As a retailer, you are responsible for also protecting your clients and consumers. Learn how to stop one of the quickest growing crimes in America – identity theft. According to a recent study complied by Javelin Strategy & Research, in the last two year alone, identity theft has struck almost 20 million people. Identity theft has also cost over $56 billion in the last year alone. That averages out to $6,381 per person victimized by this crime. There is the chance you will be the victim of identity theft with a new victim being struck every 3.4 seconds. Just for the record, even drug trafficking is not as prolific. According to the report released by the Justice Department, identity theft is now the number 1 crime in America. There are ways to protect yourself as well as your consumer base. With cyber-Monday seeing a profit raise of 37%, it is vital that you protect yourself and offer your consumers the ability to stay protected as well. 1.

Anti-virus software is an ideal way of insuring there are no viruses on the computer that will record your keystrokes and transmit your personal data to an identity thief.

2. Teach your consumer how to always look for a lock icon on the status bar of any given website where private and/or financial information is given. The lock icon shows that the site is transmitting secure data that cannot be easily translated by a hacker or identity thief. 3. If you send out newsletters or e-mails, keep a generic copy on your website as an image. This will allow your consumers to investigate the validity of the latest information you sent to your consumer base. 4. Never ask for private or personal information to be transmitted via an e-mail sent from your consumer’s computer to your database. In other words, you may have links to forms, but do not have those forms in the e-mail itself. 5. Encourage your consumer to make purchases only via secured web pages, or web pages with the lock icon in the browser status bar. 6. Have a telephone number available for purchases as well as your online ordering form. Let the consumer know “you” are there to protect his or her assets. 7. Strongly encourage and remind your consumers to investigate their credit card statements especially after the holidays. In fact, as a retailer, you should do the same thing. If something looks awry, take appropriate steps to insure you verify the information is correct. 8. If you are a victim of identity theft, or if you are a retailer who has a consumer that is the victim of identity theft, prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Stopping identity theft will only succeed if each case is handled professionally. As a retailer and as a consumer, you have the responsibility as well as the ability to lower the number of cases of identity theft. You also have the power to reduce the damage of identity fraud. Each step you take insured someone else is protected. What are you doing to stop identity fraud for yourself as well as your consumer?

13. April 2012 · Comments Off on Providing Customer Service For Your Business · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

No matter what your home business is about, providing customer service is the key to gaining new customers and building a strong customer base. The larger and stronger your customer base is the more sales you will get for your home business. Often when new entrepreneurs start working on the Internet, they do not realize the importance of customer service. After several months or even years in the business, they have a much weaker customer base than they potentially could have because of the lack of customer service. Just because you sell on the Internet does not mean that you forgo customer service to your visitors and buyers. People do not like feeling as if they are just another number, statistic or ATM for your home business. Individual attention and meeting the needs of your customer will increase your customer sales and make a stronger customer service area of your home business.

One of the starting places to provide customer service is to put a physical address on your web store and a contact phone number.

Many new entrepreneurs are nervous about doing this but you can obtain a street address post office box and order an 800 number to use for your business. This will protect your personal information but will provide your customers with a way to reach you. They will feel more confident in purchasing your wellness products and services. Automated emails are handy and useful but at the same time they can be impersonal. If your new wellness store comes with an automated email to thank customers for their orders, have someone edit the email to make it more personal and friendly. If there is no automated email, make certain that all confirmed orders have a personal thank you note sent to the customer. It is even nice to thank customers with a quick postcard that is hand written to let them know that they’re order is being processed and shipped to them. Customers will know that you take the time to meet their needs and to treat them as valuable people instead of just another wallet to empty. They will remember your company and be more likely to give you repeat sales because you took the time to give them a personal thank you instead of a computer generated thanks. You will be surprised at how many companies do not thank customers for their orders. Follow up with your customers. Find out if the shipment arrived on time. Take a short survey of how they felt about shopping at your wellness web store. This is a great way to get feedback and it lets your customers know that you care about their opinion and their experience with you. Should you receive negative feedback, take the time to correct whatever problem there was and address any unresolved issues.

It is much better to leave the customer feeling satisfied and happy about the situation than to never have followed up. The majority of unhappy customers will never complain unless there is a follow-up and feedback opportunity. Instead, they will never shop with you again and will complain to friends, relatives and co-workers. Feedback and follow-up is a great method to help grow your business and to thank your customer again for their purchases. The personal attention that you provide customers through customer service will make your wellness home business stand out above all the competing entrepreneurs.

13. April 2012 · Comments Off on Offline Lead Generation Techniques For Online Marketers · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Do not forget to advertise your business offline. Offline lead generation does not have to break your budget. You may even find that there is less competition because everyone is so concentrated on online lead generation. One old fashioned method of generating offline leads is cold calling. I know it sounds scary but it is a direct as it gets and it works. Try simply calling everyone you know and ask them if they know anyone who might be interested in what you have to offer. This way you are not just trying to sell one person but everyone your one contact knows. It is also a softer approach. Try using direct mail. Direct mail is the third largest advertising method used after TV and newspapers. Try using postcards which really grab the attention of your readers. Also, try to target your market as much as possible. Do you have a product or service which appeal to a certain niche market? Try advertising in publications which specifically appeal to this market. This is much more effective than using a scattershot approach of trying to generate leads from popular general publications. You will be surprised at the quality of your lead generation efforts when you target your lead generation method.

Giving free seminars is a great way to generate sales leads. You will be surprised how many groups are looking for speakers. You might even consider joining a public speaking organization. You will be considered an expert in your industry and this will give you instant creditability for your audience. Try writing articles in your niche and get them published in niche publications. This «soft» approach is quite an effective method of lead generation. You are not trying to directly sell anyone. You are providing valuable information and presenting yourself as an expert in your field. Do you have satisfied customers already? Ask them for testimonials and for referrals. This is probably the best lead generation ever! Your potential customers want to know other people have worked with you and were satisfied. Give everyone of your customers a comment card and keep a notebook with all the comment cards so that you can show them to those who are considering your product or service. Good word of mouth is the best lead generation method. Bad word of mouth can also be your downfall so make sure you take care of your customers. Make sure you have tons of testimonials from satisfied customers can easily be the best lead generation technique of all. Listen to your customers. Take notes. Never interrupt them or take criticism personally. You should welcome criticism as a chance to improve your business. This attitude can put you light years ahead of your competition and generate many pre sold quality leads for years to come.

Do not forget the basics when it comes to lead generation.

Offline lead generation has been working for much longer than online lead generation.

Do not forget to use these methods as well! Here is just a review: 1. Satisfy your customers and ask for referrals. 2.cold call and ask everyone you know if they know someone interested in what you offer. 3. Give free seminars and speeches are your business. 5. Write articles for niche publications about your business. Do all the above lead generation techniques and you should have tons of quality leads!

13. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Guide For Business Empires Today · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Everyone dreams of putting up his own empire someday.

While many would feel that this would take time, with the proper approach and resources, you can put up any business venture in no time at all. All it needs is the proper approach and resourcefulness and you are on your way towards joining the elite members of businessmen spread all over the world today. They say that ninety five percent of people trying to get a business up and running on the internet will fail. That does not sound too promising does it? Why such a high percentage? Most likely it is because those 95 percent quit before they give themselves a chance to become successful. Some people may think that when they start an internet marketing business that they can just throw a website up and let the internet do the rest. That can not be further from the truth. Just like any other job or career out there, it takes a lot of hours and hard work to get the business up and running at a good pace. The advantage of a business on the internet is that it is usually a lot cheaper than a brick and mortar business. You can stay home and work instead of having to go out and travel back and forth to a business out side the home. If you still have a job outside the home, an internet marketing business can be worked in around your schedule. Working on it part time may take a little longer to become profitable, but it is still possible. You do not have to spend money on advertising if you do not want to or can not afford to. Sure it may take longer but in the end it will be worth it. So the next time you feel like giving up on your internet marketing business, remember it does not have to be expensive to run nor does it have to become a success over night. Remember the ninety five percent and try to aim for that five percent that make their internet marketing business successful and enjoy the life that comes with it. Staying home with family and making your own schedule. What about training. Not everyone has that much experience. People fail because they are not given the training they need to succeed. Some opportunities assume someone will know how to do certain tasks when to someone new to marketing online doesn’t have a clue. A person needs to have some training in order to succeed online. Even one with some experience could use a little guidance. Plus Duplication. If a system cannot be duplicated by anyone who tries it with all there effort.

Then it is bound for failure. Many programs out there are great for an experienced marketer to go out and succeed, but it is not easily duplicated by anyone who tries it. A system must to be able to be duplicated in order for someone to succeed with it.

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on Starting A Small Business From The Ground Up · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

From the housemaid in a small Texas town near the Mexico border to the CEO of a multi million dollar corporation in the middle of Silicon Valley, all of us at one time or another has dreamed of opening our own business and making ourselves rich, rather than helping someone else get there. What’s great about today’s business climate is the relative ease with which young and old Americans alike, foreigners and natives, college educated and non, can start their own small businesses. If you’ve been dreaming of dropping out of the corporate grind, the minimum wage slavery, or just want to have more control over your destiny, read on for a look at how you too can become a sterling example of the American dream gone right.

You may be thinking: but I have no money.

It takes money to start your own business. This is true, but seldom to people open their small business with their own money. Fortunately, we live in a country that encourages the entrepreneur, as long as he or she can demonstrate that they know what they’re doing. Banks are perhaps more eager to hand out small business loans than any other type. There are plenty of government agencies that can also be counted upon to give money to the aspiring small businessman. And then there are venture capitalists and angel investors who make their entire living putting money into startup companies in the calculated risk that they will see a positive return on their investment strategy. All you need is a great idea, a solid and complete business plan, and the type of personality that can convince those with money to hand it over. If the business you’re planning to open is in the same field you’ve already been working in, you probably have a list of contacts already in the field. Now, there are ethical and legal considerations here. You can’t simply steal clients using inside information you have from working at another company. You can, however, use you contacts in the manufacturing and vending fields to help you get started. If you have personal relationships with your customers, there’s nothing wrong with letting them know you’ll soon be going into business for yourself. If they choose to give your company a shot, you should be in the clear. On the whole, however, it may be best not to go into direct competition with the company you’ve worked for. You can then use your coworkers and managers for help in getting off on the right foot. If your new business is at right angles with the company you’re leaving, you may be able to help each other.

Your next step is to research the marketplace. This should be done before anything else. You have to know what has worked in your chosen field and what hasn’t. What has been tried before and what might make a big splash in the industry. Don’t come to the dance with nothing new to offer. You can compete on prices, and you can compete on service. But the best form of competition comes in exciting innovation. Think of at least one great idea before you open your own business. Something no one else has tried. You will set yourself apart right from the start, and sometimes that’s all you need.

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on Why Start An Internet Home Business Instead Of Getting A Second Job? · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Money is tight or perhaps you are facing some expenses in the future you want to save up for.

These are usually the reasons why people choose to take on the challenge and responsibility of a second job. People rarely take on a second job purely for the pleasure of it. However, many of the people considering a second job rarely think about another option — starting an internet home business. Yet they should consider doing so as an internet home business offers three benefits that the usual array of second jobs do not. The first benefit that an internet home business offers over most of the second jobs you could find is that is easily available, easily accessible, and extremely flexible which makes it easy to work around your existing job and family commitments. Few second jobs offer the flexibility that an internet home business can offer. An internet home business can literally be run when and where you like. In fact, you could do it during your lunch hour at your regular job if you want. And unlike a second job, it is easy to get time off for holidays and vacations because you are the boss. Second, an internet home business can be anything you wish it to be. You can capitalize on your unique interests and skills which is not something that most second jobs will be able to offer. And the likelihood of finding a second job that does that as well as fit in your schedule is even smaller. Remember that the internet is a tremendous clearing house of information on every conceivable topic of interest. Surely that means that there is a niche out there for you? Finally, an internet home business offers on-the-job training that is easily available and accessible from a variety of experts in the field. No matter what you decide to pursue with your own internet home business there is a wealth of information on the internet to help you start your business, run your business, and market your business so you can make your second job both profitable and rewarding. I would suggest that when you begin your search you use the free articles and forums that abound before investing in any paid books or programs. While some of those may well be worth investing in, there are a great many scams out there and it is silly to pay for information you can find for free. There are many wealth internet gurus who are still willing to share their hard-earned lessons for free in a variety of forums and articles. I know from first-hand experience that an internet home business can be a great extra way to make money.

While I first started my internet home business as a creative outlet, I have since used it to replace all my freelance income and then some. I heartily recommend starting your own internet home business rather than taking a second job if you need extra income because an internet home business offers the advantages of flexibility, creativity, and support that many second jobs cannot give you.

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on Adsense, The Great Secret · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Karl Stadler What is the great secret to huge earnings with Adsense? The truth is, there is no great secret. Let us look at adsense from the top. Adsense pays you a percentage of money for each click that you generate on your website. Which brings us to two very important facts that few seem to realize when building their adsense websites. You need traffic to click on your adsense ads. Your ads must be relevant to the search of the visitor. Lets dissect them one at a time. Traffic. You can create adsense sites with software, buy pre-built sites, use PLR and so on. This is a nice quick fix to solve your problem of generating adsense income, or so many seem to think. Most of the time you will have wasted your time and money. It would have been much better spent taking the dog for a walk or doing the dishes. For an adsense site to be successful it needs visitors, many visitors. If you have just put up a new site it will mean you have not been indexed neither do you have any page ranking. Your 2000 page pre-built website at this moment in time means nothing. Don’t forget that a thousand or so others have followed the same route as you, some before and some after, quite a bit of duplicate content don’t you think? Lets move on. The search engines have come by and your pages are now indexed after two or three months. Suddenly to your great surprise for the next month you have a total of two clicks, or worse none whatsoever.

Four months down the line becomes six and still the results remain the same. Fortunately you do not need to feel alone, there are many who have done exactly the same thing with the same results. But from your perspective the internet sucks and there are only a few who will make money and the multitudes of others will buy their products. Sorry to tell you the truth, you are wrong. If you went about building your adsense empire with a plan, and not a quick fix, things would be quite different. But we all still love quick fixes and buy them, so there is no need to feel bad. Building your adsense site takes careful planning. You can do it as a new site, subdirectory or implement it on your current site. The very first thing that you must do, and I cannot stress this enough, is keyword research. It is a long and arduous task and does take a lot of time and thinking to get to the right keywords. It is the life or death of your site. You can have the best optimized pages around, but if you chose the wrong keywords you will never be seen. The wrong choices would be keywords that are never searched for or the competition is so high that you will be competing against many high ranking websites, and your pages will just get lost in the maze. Only when you have your keywords in place is it time to develop your content. You should try to create as many of these pages yourself. Now you are not able to write one thousand pages all by yourself but if you write one page a week, by the end of the year you will have 52 unique pages, that is what the search engines are looking for. Your pages need not be long 400 to 600 words are fine as long as the content is relevant, but we will get to that now. If you are just starting your site you can mix up your pages with articles, PLR content and your own, but do create your own unique content as often as you can. Now lets look at relevance. If a visitor lands on your page from a search engine result he must find your content relevant to his search, otherwise he will leave as quickly as he came. He will not be clicking one of your adsense ads either to his next destination. Why not? Your adsense ads on your page will be reflective of your content, not his search, which means they will have no meaning to him whatsoever. That is why it is so important to have relevant content to your keywords, that is what brings the visitor, keeps him on the site and gets him to click an adsense ad when he leaves.

Placement of ads and the way they appear have been proven to increase or decrease CTR. Unfortunately this information is only obtainable through research over a period of time. You have to use different formats and placements on different pages and track each ad separately to establish which work best. But the internet is constantly changing, and what is working now will not necessarily be working in six months to a year, so unless you have been doing the research yourself over a period of time and finding the right information at the right time, you will have to pay to get your adsense working effectively and profitably. This is the great secret to successful adsense pages, it is nothing more than research information as to what is working best at this time. The information is gathered through persistent testing, tracking, more testing and tracking until the right combinations are found and then doing it all over again. The secret is finding and using the information first.

The Lasso For Business Opportunities

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Lasso For Business Opportunities · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

The first online job resource that aerospace professionals should use is the aerospace firm that they want to work with. This may seem like an obvious statement, but many young professionals decide to find vacancies on third party sites where they can apply en masse to various positions. However, there is no substitute for going straight to the source of vacancies if an applicant knows what aerospace firm they want to work for. Many companies in the United Kingdom are expanding their career pages to include the basic list of vacancies, online application materials, a look at daily life for various professionals, and other information necessary to make a career choice.

After perusing company websites, aerospace workers should expand their hunt for vacancies to sites for recruiting firms. The reason why recruiting firms are the logical second step is that they have strong relationships with aerospace firms, including exclusivity agreements that allow recruiters the first chance to fill a vacancy. Professionals of all experience levels should use recruiting firm websites on a regular basis because they have constantly updated job listings and information on professional development that is the key to long term success. Since recruiting firms are in the business of filling the most positions possible in the shortest period, their sites are updated daily. Media graduates looking for jobs with television stations should look to smaller stations first before heading to major outlets. Small local television stations often have jobs or internships in a variety of departments that can help a media graduate gain experience and a living. While these stations don’t pay as well as major television networks, they do allow a media graduate to learn what it takes to work in front and behind the camera. For media graduates looking at the radio business, there are plenty of graduate jobs available for the right candidates. Many media graduates veer away from their academic focus on broadcasting or reporting to work in advertising, management, or technical aspects of the industry. Radio stations often employ graduates who are interested in the general industry and have enough determination and skill to learn multiple positions at a station.

However, choosing a position at a radio station is not set in stone.

Media professionals interested in other positions can make the leap after gaining experience in the radio industry. That’s all changed now and it is very easy to start making some serious money from your online ventures. When it first came out I immediately signed up for google adsense and started placing the ads on a couple of sites I had. Within a few short weeks I was making steady money from google and it has only gotten better. When the affiliate program became available from ClickBank I jumped on the first chance I got. I was happy I did, with the ClickBank affiliate programs you can go from zero dollars to earning several hundred or even several thousand dollars a month. Since implementing the ClickBank program I have been very successful with using a variety of affiliate products. All of the necessary tools are provided so the only real way you will fail is if you do nothing.

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on Work From Home, It’s That Easy · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

You can start a work from home business as a distributor. You will be amazed at how quickly you can learn the business and sales skills that you will need to be a successful distributor. You can be the boss when you work from home as a distributor. You determine what hours you work, when you take a vacation and even how many hours a week you will work. Virtually anyone that has dedication and time can become a successful distributor in the wellness industry. The easiest way to become a distributor is to find a company that is looking for distributors. Learn about the products that the company offers. Find out what type of training is given by the company to help you become successful.

There are some excellent companies on the Internet that need distributors that can work from home.

It is easiest to start small and let your distributorship grow over time. You can spend an hour or two in the evenings and perhaps one whole day on the weekend to start your home business as a distributor. Once the income is fairly steady and you have saved some money, you can switch to working full time as a distributor. If you are laid off of work or need to stay home for family responsibilities, you can work from home as a distributor. You will have the freedom to set your hours around the needs and responsibilities that you have in the home. For example, if you have small children that need naps, lunch and even play time you can work between activities with the kids. This enables you to make a supplemental income without leaving the home and paying for expensive daycare or having a nanny come to your home. The majority of companies do not require an investment of money to become a distributor. The key is to have the time to promote the products and services that you distribute. You will need to build a strong customer base that will come back to you for replacement wellness and health products that you initially sold to them. Since the products are consumable, it is an excellent home business because the majority of sales will result in return customers. You will begin to get a feel for how often certain customers order from you and be able to determine roughly how much each week you will potentially make as your supplemental income for your new home business. Form social networks with other people through internet forums, discussion boards and even other distributors for the parent company. You can form a network of very supportive and helpful people to enable your new home business to be a success.

There are many health and wellness trade shows and seminars in your local community or communities near you that you can attend. Everyone is under the same roof for the same purpose. This is a terrific way to network with other people that are also distributors or interested in the types of health and wellness products and services from your new home business.

12. April 2012 · Comments Off on There Is More To Working From Home Than Doing What You Love · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

While the old adage that strongly urges to do what you love and the money will follow is indeed correct for the overwhelming majority of the time, there are those times when you need to reevaluate and consider that there is more to working from home than doing what you love.

For example: just because you enjoy baking dog biscuits, it does not mean that after a week long blitz of making enough batches to fill your garage, you will have customers breaking down the door to buy them. Instead, commercial success or failure when working from home quite frequently transcends that notion and requires some coolheaded calculations to boot: 1. No matter which kind of business you start, make sure you have an exit strategy. Even though it may be a bit of a morbid thought to plan for your business’ failure, the fact that knowing how to get out from under a potentially financial burden is well worth overcoming awkwardness. This holds true most especially if your home business involves the purchase of machinery or copious amounts of inventory. Knowing in advance where to unload the goods in case of failure – in an effort to recoup any financial losses or at least offset the bath you took when buying the machinery – offers the potential for freedom and also risk taking you otherwise might not dare to even consider. 2. Even if you love something very much you must be prepared to not pursue it if the market is simply not ready. Back to the dog biscuit example: if you live in a rural area where next to nobody has a dog, or you live in a part of the country where dogs are not generally kept as pets, then this might not be the niche you want to go after. Find other outlets for your baking creativity, such as carving out a niche for dog biscuits made for those animals with severe allergies. Just because you most likely will not have a clientиle locally, your ability to provide this highly specialized good puts you in an excellent position to take the online marketplace by storm! 3. Go with your second impulse rather than your first one! Sure, while the first impulse may have you deciding on a home based business that makes a lot of sense, has a good chance of translating into a monetarily rewarding career, and may actually present a decent niche appeal, it is your second impulse that might send you over the top! This might be the idea you consider too wild to be feasible, too far out to find an interested buyer, or too odd to get anyone to even look at. It is this very impulse that might lead to the creation of a home based business which will succeed because it caters to an under served market, while the first impulse idea may have been moderately successful but would never be able to rival the second for the simple fact that the market is all but saturated with others who are thinking in exactly the same way.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Make Your Website Popular With Link Building · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Webmasters know that it takes more than putting a website online to call it a success. You need to build links to achieve popularity and search engine rankings. Link popularity is achieved through link building and is an essential part of search engine optimization.

If you have a passion to put forth the effort to build quality inbound links to your site, it will in turn achieve higher rankings in the search engines.

If your website is marketing products or services you need the traffic this will bring for success. By consistently earning more quality inbound links to your web site your search engine rankings will improve. Links from the more popular websites definitely are more potent and effective than links from less popular sites and can carry your site to the top of the search engines. Link popularity plays a vital role in popularizing and categorizing the internet. The more websites you have that link to yours, the more traffic you will receive. We all know that it takes visitors to your site to achieve sales and success for your business. There are various methods for link building including quality directory submissions, reciprocal linking, link baiting and newsletters. Link building is a part of search engine optimization that every webmaster takes part in by attempting to build quality, relevant inbound links to their website. The three basic types of link building consist of reciprocal, one way and three way link building. Reciprocal link building has been decreasing in popularity due to search engines getting better at detecting them and discounting the value of those links. The method basically involves you linking to a related site and them in return linking back. One way link building efforts are still going strong as this is where you can get the most value from your linking efforts. It is a great way to improve your search engine rankings, but the links are much more difficult to obtain. You can achieve these links through submissions for directory review, providing unique article content and blogs. Links should be used properly in pointing surfers looking for content relevant to you site.

The key factor in link building should be to achieve an easy way for web traffic to find the content on your site that is relevant to their searches. Web sites and their promotion should be done with the visitor in mind. Relevancy of the site linking to yours is a determining factor in how much weight that link will be given in the search engines. A site that is within the same niche will help you achieve better results than a link from a site that has no relevance to your niche. The web exists for links between web content. Employing a strategic link building effort to achieve good exposure within that environment is essential to your businesses success. When done properly it can bring relevant traffic to your website to view the products or services offered there. This will help to reach new heights in your business.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Wholesale Jeans Market On The Internet · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Like other items of clothing, jeans are supplied by wholesalers to small businesses in bulk quantities.

Wholesalers buy the stock directly from the manufacturers and sell them to the retailers. This is how flea market vendors and small shop owners buy jeans, get significant discounts on them and make good profits by selling them to end-users. This is a very lucrative business; prospective entrepreneurs can set up small stores and sell jeans bought from wholesalers. Even private individuals can take advantage of the wholesale concept; if you have a few friends who all want the same type of jeans, you can pool your buying resources and buy in bulk from the wholesaler.

Wholesale jeans are available in cases or packs, with the number of pieces ranging from as low as nine to as high as two hundred. Both mens and womens jeans, and even children’s jeans sets, are available wholesale. A case of wholesale jeans usually contains jeans of various waist-sizes and lengths. It may have jeans of one particular color/wash, or of assorted colors. Jeans of the leading brands are often available wholesale. Used and recycled jeans are also available wholesale.

Consumers can also buy wholesale jeans and get outrageous discounts. More and more wholesalers are reaching out directly to the customers through the online auctions. Though wholesale jeans don’t have that guarantee of quality that comes with jeans that are sold in exclusive retail outlets of top brands, but considering the amount of that is saved, they usually fetch a good bargain.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Spam Blockers And A Kinder And Gentler Marketing Approach · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

An advance in spam blocking is another really good reason to take list building seriously.

The status quo in list building had been to lease a list and flood thousands of inboxes with your message. This cold call approach may result in some sales, but more often it results in angry recipients who reported your email marketing effort as spam. As spam blockers became more prominent in almost every email system this approach to email marketing has often implode on itself. The email marketing message itself may have been solid and even useful. The intent may not have been to spam. In fact, I believe there are some well-meaning online businesses that simply view mass email marketing campaigns in the same way they might have in direct mail for a brick and mortar counterpart. The problem is with spam blockers most of these messages are never making it to their intended recipient. In essence the use of a leased list is a bit like flushing money down a commode. Spam blocking software makes it more important than ever for online businesses to ensure recipients the only emails they will receive are the ones that they either ask for or are designed to confirm their order and shipping information once a sale has been completed. To put this in perspective imagine if individuals had their own ‘mail guard’. These individuals would be hired to follow you to the mailbox and sort through your mail making sure you only received personal correspondence from people you knew along with pertinent banking and billing mailings. They would eliminate certain mail order catalogues you have never ordered from and are not sure how you made it on their list.

No more sweepstakes entries of magazine offers.

No more sales flyers from businesses you’ve never heard of and postcards trying to sell a new satellite television system. You might be thinking that this would be a great service to have. However, in an online environment it is a reality. Spam blockers are constantly upgraded in an effort to reduce ‘junk mail’ from hitting your inbox. Most of the time the mail is diverted to the spam folder where you can look at it if you want. In most cases it is automatically deleted from your account in about a month. Because the online world is insisting on protection from unwanted emails this should cause online businesses to learn what they can about email marketing and transform their strategies to meet the needs of actual customers and prospects instead of pounding on doors that read, “No Admittance.” The use of spam blockers is a benefit to consumers and a challenge to online business. The role of business is becoming strongly geared toward meeting the needs of consumers. In fact online business may be more responsive to the actual and perceived needs of the consumer than brick and mortar counterparts. The reason is that spam blockers along with other online consumer benefits have led business away from the blitz and toward a consumer-centric approach to doing business before, during and after the sale.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Mobile Advertising For Companies With Small Budgets · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

When companies are trying to advertise on the cheap one approach that might come to mind is mobile advertising. This type of marketing is great for cross country advertising as well as local advertising. When you compare other forms of media to mobile advertising it is clear that the cost is much less expensive and the retention rate is higher. It also is the form of marketing that has shown the most recent growth. The benefits for mobile marketing are great and offer fantastic visibility and impact along with very high exposure. Mobile advertising, especially when compared to that of other types of advertising includes greater benefits such as the fact that they offer high exposure, they send messages to the consumer that are consistently reinforced, it can be as targeted as you want it to be. This could be narrowed down to an area as small as a zip code. Think about it, mobile advertising covers a much bigger territory than stationary billboards. When you think about the potential exposure that mobile marketing brings, it truly is amazing however you have to use this form of marketing in various channels. Mobile advertising is used in the form of vinyl magnetic signs to giant billboards that busses are wrapped in. Semi trucks that travel cross country are also used for mobile marketing, especially for big companies that want nationwide exposure. Consider the auto racing industry and how much advertisement they offer, that too is a form of mobile advertising. Statistics have proven that most people do read the advertisements that are on any type of vehicle, consumers also find these types of advertisements to be favorable, and many also say that they would strongly consider a purchase based on these advertisements. Other types of advertising which include newspaper print advertisements, spot TV, magazine, radio, billboards, and mobile advertisements all have very different price tags on them in regards to cost per thousand with a half page newspaper advertisement running about $20 cost per thousand and mobile advertising is under $1 cost per thousand.

That is quite a difference in price and can be just as effective. Mobile advertising is relatively newer but is also become very sophisticated and will continue to grow as an effective vehicle for advertising on the cheap. And as you have discovered, this type of advertising has its advantages. For one, mobile advertising can not be ignored, it is an in your face approach to marketing. You can not throw this away and there is no way that you can not notice it which is what makes it so effective and what makes it so appealing is the cost and the ROI. This is marketing and advertising that generate results. Perhaps this is why it is really creating a marketing buzz and more and more people are using this as part of their marketing and advertising campaigns. The options are endless when it comes to mobile advertising and new ideas are pouring in each and every day that are off the hook but the key is that these ideas are working, and that is what counts.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Watch Out For The Red Fraud Alert Flags · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

When considering any online business venture there are certain flags that fly freely, warning you that your money could be wasted and there are a few other flags that may not be as prominently displayed. Of course, as more people begin to recognize the warning signs of fraudulent business practices, the designers of these sites are become more adept of shielding them from view until it is too late. One of the most prominent of the warning signs is contact information. Names and email addresses are usually dominant in online advertisements, but if you call the number during normal business hours and the phone is answered by a six-year-old there’s a good chance the owner of the business does look at it as a professional operation. How the person answers the phone can be a good clue as to how they operate and whether or not it is a legitimate business.

Now, everyone knows that home-based businesses run the risk of having a child answer the phone, during normal business hours that is typically taboo among true professionals. You may want to have website in front of you when you do call the person listed on the site, and focus your queries on the business, attempting to determine how prolific they are. After all, they will be the one training you to operate the business. If there is no phone number or physical address, it is best just to close the ad and move on to the next one. If there is a physical address, you can verify its authenticity through the postal service’s online service and quickly determine if it is a legitimate business address or something someone made up just to make people think they have an address. You may then through the online phone book, attempt to find the phone number for the address and if it is not listed on purpose, you will want to ask why they do want to be contacted. If there are different program levels to choose from, with the higher costing levels paying high commission rates, you have to wonder why you have to pay a monthly fee in order to work for them. Sure, many companies charge a franchise fee, but what do you get for that fee? Training by the person who let their six-year-old answer the phone? Any support in advertising the site that does not make you sign up and pay for another service? After reading the entire site, if you do not know what it is you will be doing, chances are it is not a legitimate business. Most real businesses will be up front about their product or service and won’t make you buy it in order to become a distributor. You may also want to consider the legalities of requiring someone to stock merchandise in order to earn sales commissions as well as having to pay a recurring membership fee in order to be eligible to earn an income. The higher membership fee may earn more money, but probably will not be returned in the form of more sales.

11. April 2012 · Comments Off on Finding and Promoting a Residual Income Program · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Andrew Saari So, you’ve had some success with Internet marketing, and you’re looking to take it to the next level.

Or, are you new to it and still searching for the ultimate product? A residual income program may be just what you’re looking for. What is residual income? Let’s start with a brick and mortar example: Say you’re a car salesman. You sell a car. You get a commission, right? Nice, but to get another commission, you have to sell another car. Sounds like a job to me, doesn’t it? Now, that car you sold needs to have insurance, right? The insurance agent sells the same customer insurance. The agent gets a commission check, too. But, the difference is every time another insurance payment is due, the insurance agent gets another commission check. Nice, huh? Make one sale, get commissions forever! This is what is known as residual income. Now, the insurance agent can concentrate on making another sale, which will give him even more and more residual income, year after year. The car salesman has to sell another car to get another check. Which sounds better to you? Before you rush out and become an insurance agent, let’s see how to apply this principle to online marketing. Now, let’s say you have a product that you’re selling. It sells for $50. Your marketing efforts cost you $25. That leaves $25 for you. Nice. Now, Imagine you found a product that has a residual income of $50 a month. It costs you the same $25 to market and make one sale. After 1 year, the total income is $600, of which $575 is pure profit from one sale! Keep making sales, and the profits would keep compounding. Making just one sale a day for 3 months, your monthly income could be over $3750! After a year, your montly income could become quite staggering-even if you quit advertising. Ok, now the big question. How do I find a residual income program for me? There are a few options here. Create your own. Some ideas include: Start a newsletter. Getting paid subscribers to a newsletter you write on your area of expertise is one. Web hosting is an option. Starting a web hosting business where you collect a monthly fee would be another excellent idea. Maybe you don’t want to go through the hassles of creating your own newsletter week after week, or whatever your time frame would be. Perhaps you don’t have the ability to write the sales letter to sell it yourself. Or, you don’t have the technical knowledge required for web hosting.

Then, an affiliate program may be what you are looking for. This means you get a commission off of someone else’s existing product. You may even use their marketing materials. All you do is promote the product and send visitors to their site using your ID.Then, you get a piece of the profit. Sounds even better, huh? There are hundreds of these opportunities to be found online. Take a little time, and find the one that’s right for you. A couple of things to keep in mind: Your product should provide a value to your customers. People buy because they feel they’re going to recieve something of value. You get what you want by helping people get what they want. Offer an inferior product, and customers will not buy, or they’ll cancel their monthly subscription and take your profit with them. Use the product yourself. If you’re trying to sell your customers a product they don’t believe in, they will sense it, and not buy from you. If you don’t believe in your product, who will? Some affiliate programs pay on more than one level. Much like MLM, you can get paid on other people’s sales, too. Getting any ideas yet? Do a search on residual income affiliate programs. Find one that appeals to you. Now, you’ve found your product. How do you promote it? Use the same techniques that have proven effective for other online products. We’ll go through the basics: PPC-or pay per click. Probably the fastest way to get a new product in front of the customers who are searching for it. All the major search engines have their version.

Visit their advertising center and check out your optiions.

You may need to play around with keywords and bids, as well as advertising copy, to find which converts best. ezines-There are thousands of ezine publications online. Practically every niche has dozens (or more). Find one that accepts advertising, or maybe even start your own! Find one that your product would appeal to. Your own opt-in mail list. If you’ve been successfully building your business and have built up an opt-in list, send your offer to your list. If they’ve already bought from you, they likely will again, if what you’re offering is similar. Other people’s opt-in mailing lists. Some lists accept advertisements for a fee or a cut of the commission. Warning: Never send spam or bulk email to anyone who has not opted in to a list. This can get you in trouble with the law, as well as alienate the customers you’re trying to reach. Write an article such as this one. Make it informative, not a sales letter. You’re allowed to put a tag line at the end with a link to your url. There are dozens of services to submit them to, and web publishers who are constantly looking for new content use them. They publish them on their websites, and you get links to your site, which send you free traffic. Everybody wins and it’s very effective. (And cheap!) If you don’t have the knowledge, or the time to write an article yourself, hire a ghostwriter to do it for you. By now you should have gotten some great ideas on what you would like to promote, and how to do it. All that’s left is to go out and do it! Find the right one, and you may just become the next Internet millionaire.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on Staying In Touch With Friends And Family Members Is Finally Affordable · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

A number of years ago I was visiting with a friend whose family was from Sicily. His parents and siblings were here in the US, but the extended family lived in Italy, Argentina and Canada.

Though time and distance were important separators, I learned during my visit that the telephone was the chief way for his far flung family members to stay in touch.

It also regularly resulted in phone bills approaching $500 each month! Thanks to important advancements in communication technology – namely, the rise of internet telephony – calling friends and family members around the world is finally affordable. My friend’s family discovered the way to reduce calling charges by as much as 90%, helping to make “staying in touch” a financially viable reality. Fortunately, these new options are available to you – if you know where to look. Say Good-Bye To Costly International Calling The days of budget busting phone bills are over. Consumers, who used to be faced with calls costing 25 to 50 cents per minute, even more, have a choice when placing international calls. And, unlike some phone providers, no calling cards or PIN codes are required. Today, there are phone service providers who have built their modern networks on the back of the internet by developing a way for calls to be transferred over less costly internet lines. These new networks, which got their start over the past decade, have matured to the point where calls are clear, cheap, and easy to place. No operators are needed to handle your calls – if you have one of the many compatible phones available and an internet connection, then dialing your way to savings can begin right away. Say Hello To Friends and Family Members So, just how low can rates get to the countries you want to call? Very low! Without naming specific internet telephony providers, I’ve seen rates as low as two cents per minute to the United Kingdom and sixteen cents per minute to the Philippines. Calls to Mexico, Canada, Germany, China, India, and Australia can be made for just pennies per minute making it easy for you to stay in touch with your Uncle Sal or Aunt Emelina.

Maintaining contact with the Patel family back home is possible without having to make calls at odd hours or on weekends in a bid to save money. Internet telephony rates are the same no matter what the hour, day or time of the year you place your call, allowing you spend quality time talking to your loved ones without worrying about running up a huge phone bill. Make Those Important Business Calls Too Even businesses are getting into the internet telephony game and saving thousands annually in international calling costs. With so much business these days conducted across national borders, calls from California to France or Illinois to Japan are no longer prohibitive. Email doesn’t cut it and flying there isn’t always practical and talking to your business partners at rates that won’t bleed you dry is appealing to any savvy business owner. Shop Around For The Best Plan Finally, shop around for an internet telephony provider who has the best plan for your needs. Look for a company that is well established, offers top notch customer support, and has a rate structure that is easy to understand. In most cases you can get started right away, connecting you to family, friends, and business partners at costs the phone company cannot possibly match.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on Where You Sell Determines How You Sell · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

There are many strategies that you can use to promote and sell your products to consumers. The challenge is choosing the best method for your particular merchandise or service. Where you decide to market your goods will determine the process you need to implement for success. There are a variety of ideas you can apply to advertise your business. The promotional method you develop is dependent upon the industry where you are competing. Take the example of a manufacturing business. If your enterprise is concentrated in producing goods that do not focus on selling to the end-user, then joining fairs and product showcases would be helpful. This will enable you to expose your goods to the clients that matter most, the wholesalers and the retailers. After these organizations have agreed to carry your merchandise, you will need to supply them with the necessary quantity they want. It is important to understand that there are different terms for reimbursement. Some establishments will take up to 120 days before the payment for your products is made. Another way to promote and sell your goods to your target customers is through direct selling. While this may involve more effort on your part, this method is nonetheless very effective. If you are interested in selling your merchandise this way, then it is essential for you to find a dedicated and reliable staff who will concentrate on marketing your goods or services to your potential customers. There are actually several ways for you to motivate your staff but the most popular is giving them a commission for every product that they sell. If you do not have the time to hire and train your own staff, you might consider retaining the services of an external company that is responsible for your sales. This organization will be the one to promote and sell the merchandise on your behalf. This will allow you to concentrate on the core of your business which is manufacturing and improving your existing product lines. However, like direct selling where you need to give your agents certain commissions to keep them motivated, you will need to offer high commission rates to this company.

Selling your products online maybe the best opportunity for the individual who is just starting or a small business. There are many organizations already involved with making money online because an internet presence allows you to reach more customers with a smaller overhead. And while you might not derive as much profit as an offline business, establishing a presence online today may yield a huge reward in the future as more clients become connected to the wireless world. A home business or a manufacturing industry require the same approach: you must find customers that will bring success to your enterprise. The key ingredient is your marketing plan. For those of us who choose to develop a work from home venture, our challenges are far different than those of a manufacturing company. But both industries require that you research and apply the concepts that will target your consumer audience. The success or failure of your home based business is dependent on knowing who your customers are and developing a plan that will bring them to you. If you sell on the internet, at your home or in a brick and mortar store, your strategy will be different. But there is a formula that will work if you are willing to learn and apply the principles. “With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.”

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on Tips And Tricks For Binding Thermal Documents · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Perhaps you have recently purchased a thermal book binding machine or are thinking about experimenting with a thermal book binding machine. Either way, there are a few things that you can do to make thermal book binding a little bit easier and to ensure a better finished product. Here are a couple of things to remember: 1. Make sure that your thermal binding cover is properly sized for your document. If you try to fit too many pages into your cover you will find that the first and last pages will not bind securely. If you don’t have a cover that is the exact size for your proposal, it is best to go a little bit larger and not smaller. 2. Carefully square up your pages in your cover before book binding.

Before putting your cover into the binding machine, fan out the pages in your document to be sure that none of the pages are stuck together. Then make sure that your pages are squared up neatly and that the front and back pages come in contact with the glue in the spine. If using a thermal cover with a clear front be especially careful with the front page of your document. Static electricity can sometimes cause the front page of the document to stick to the clear cover preventing it from coming into contact with the glue. Taking an extra moment at this point in the binding process will help to ensure that you have a better finished product. 3. After your book binding machine has finished its cycle take your document out and firmly tap the cover on a hard surface. This action will help to ensure that the pages are securely seated in the hot thermal glue and that the binding will be secure for years to come. 4. Be sure not to open the book until the document has completely cooled and the glue has set. This usually takes between three and five minutes and it is important that the book be given this time for the glue to harden so the binding will be secure. 5. Remember that you are not limited to binding one book at a time. Thermal book binding machines are able to bind multiple books at one time up to total capacity of your book binding machine. Binding multiple books at one time will help to increase productivity and get the job done faster. 6. If you are binding documents with high gloss paper or photo paper it is often best to staple the book block together before binding.

If you do not staple the book block these glossy heavy papers can sometimes work themselves out of the binding.

Stapling the book block will make it nearly impossible for a page to ever work its way out of your document. If you do not have a stapler that is large enough to staple the book block or don’t want to use staples you can try using a piece of sandpaper to roughen the edge of book block to help it adhere better to the glue. Following these simple tips will ensure a better finished product and save you time and money. Thermal book binding is the fastest book binding method available and when done right provides a finished product that is professional and will make the impression that you want.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on Elements Articles Must Have To Drive Traffic to Your Web Site! · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

The importance of articles in the success of today’s internet based companies is immeasurable. They are the life blood of product promotion and drive traffic to commercial web sites. Articles are key elements in making web sites produce profits. And business owners must include them in their marketing campaigns in order to create credibility for themselves and their product or service. Submitting articles for publication creates links to your web site resulting in higher ranking on the search engine result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie they receive. With increase traffic to your web site comes more profit and potential for producing other income streams as well.

It is not enough to just stuff your site with articles; there are other elements to be considered as well. You need these additional elements to obtain the maximum benefit articles can provide. A well written article will peak the interest of site visitors and keep them coming back for more. These added elements can also prompt visitors to recommend your site to others. Here are four tips to help you spice up your articles to produce more traffic that will result in increased attention to your site. 1. Keywords and Keyword Phrases. An article must be centered on keywords and keyword phrases. Visitors to your site are looking for something specific. Their at your site because they may have been sent there via a search engine as a result of typing in a keyword or phrase they were looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Tax Lawyer etc). You need content on your web site that has the keywords that are related to what visitor’s are searching for. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must have the auto parts listed in your article. Look for tools on the internet that can help you determine what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought after. You can use these tools to determine what keywords to use and write about. 2. Keyword Density You must use the keywords and keyword phrases you choose throughout your web site content. Keyword density is important for search engines to «feel» their way to your site. Web site content should have at least ten to fifteen percent keyword density for search engines to rank them high in their results. Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used in an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as search engines. It comes off as overeager, and a low number may be ignored by the search engines. 3. Good Article Content Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading material. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make sure your writing is well thought out.

People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products. 4. Linking Articles Here’s another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to e-zines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description about you and your site should always be placed right after the articles you submit. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Fifth Key To Having Fun In Your Home Business Is Facts You Should Know · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

The basic need for a home-based business to succeed includes a decent computer, a high-speed Internet connection, and a desire to be successful. These are things that most people already have and can capitalize on. Many companies involved in network marketing have spent tons of money learning the ropes of network marketing and have slowly become proficient at it and are now seeking others to help their business continue to grow. Some may cite noble reasons to wanting to share their methods and a few may simply say they want to grow bigger and make more money and need your help to do so, but the bottom line is their methods have been proven to work and if you follow their lead, you can be successful as well. All you need is time, the desire to be successful and the patience to stay with it and work hard. Home-based businesses are an excellent source of extra income as long as the facts of such businesses are known. In addition, there are certain aspects the Home-based business owner or the member of this type of business needs to examine from time to time. The Home-based business owner or the team member should initially examine the Home-based business statistics available on the Internet as well as to gain a better understanding of this type of business. The following is a detailed examination of those evaluation aspects concerning a Home-based business: 1. Denial – Most of the people involved with Home-based businesses lose money.

This is a simple fact. If a team member or owner is spending more money than their producing on the Home-based business, the venture is a failure. This evaluation aspect takes into account that there are advertising, start-up, and other expenses as well. 2. Line Duplication – Certain members of an up-line have success placing an Internet wanted ad for distributors. This particular action cannot be duplicated in that it would not be effective for the entire Home-based business team to perform the same action. 3. Numbers – Most Home-based business owners or members don’t closely look at the numbers of their businesses. Pay particular attention to the various parts of the Home-based business (i.e. time value, sponsorship, down-line members, etc.). 4. Run it like a Ministry – Some people that run Home-based businesses believe their products depend on the world’s survival. This is an excellent mindset to possess for a Home-based business. All of these evaluation aspects must be positively confirmed to have the success and profits for a Home-based business. There are many MLM home-based business opportunities on the Internet and in paper publications as well. An interested person should carefully research a chosen Home-based business, and apply these evaluation aspects to it after a time experiencing the Home-based business. Additionally, the interested person should find the Home-based business that allows personal time investment, instead of large amounts of money for the venture. Essentially, a Home-based business idea that requires a person to utilize free time as capital along with a small monetary investment is a venture that’s less risky but has lots of potential for providing generous earnings.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Dilemma Of Public Speaking · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Public speaking is not an experience that every one enjoys, however in our life there are many such occasions when we are forced to go up to the stage and speak to hundreds or even thousands of people. When a person is speaking in public he should carry himself with a lot of confidence in order to be able to speak in front of the masses. The only problem that a person has at the time of speaking in public is that he fears that his speech or conversation might not be acceptable by the masses, creating fear it starts making you nervous on the stage.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on Tips On Renting Audio Visual Equipment · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

One major key to success of an event where presentations are made is having the right audio visual equipment available.

The right equipment does wonders in enhancing the presentation experience, especially when your audience numbers in the hundreds.

For this, you have two options: invest in the equipment and personnel needed; or, if your events are far and in-between, of variable audience and venue size, rent the audio visual equipment you will need for your event from a supplier (who also provides the technicians). Renting is always a good option so that you can focus on the real purpose of your event (i.e., the presentation) and not worry about such details before, during, and after your event. Finding suppliers who offer rentals is not a difficult task since there are many to choose from. However, especially for major events, finding the right supplier does take some doing, unless the sky’s the limit as far your budget is concerned (which is most likely not the case). The trick is to be able to find a good balance between achieving your ideal presentation experience and making the dollars and cents make sense. Here are a few tips you might want to consider in renting audio visual equipment:

• Ask the venue administrator for referrals. When you have chosen the venue you want to hold your event in, ask for referrals of audio video equipment rental suppliers who have actually worked there. These suppliers already know more or less the kind of equipment that will work well in the venue and will most likely be able to give you the ideal rental price considering their experience there.

• Make sure your supplier is flexible to handle unforeseen circumstances. If there is one “law” that is appropriate for any event, it is Murphy’s. Your supplier needs to be able to quickly respond to all minor (and some major) mishaps that might occur during the event proper, e.g., having spare bulbs for the projectors, standby speakers and amplifier equipment to handle a bigger crowd, etc.

This “insurance” might cost you a bit more but it is going to be worth it, if only for the comfort of knowing that your event will not be jeopardized.

• Be upfront with your budget. Remember that it is your money after all, so the less you spend the better! If your potential supplier knows what your budget it, he will adjust without sacrificing much of the quality of service that you require from the audio visual equipment you will rent. Sometimes it might mean that you will have to settle for less projector screens or wired microphones instead of lapel mikes, but as long as you are happy with that your budget brings you quality that meets your minimal expectations, then that is really what matters. Following these tips will help you in finding the right supplier or suppliers for rentals of the audio video equipment and maintenance/operations personnel that you will need to help make sure that what your audience sees and hears gets enhanced for a pleasant overall event experience.

10. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Top 5 Tips For Beginning To Sell On EBay · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

You’ve heard the stories of eBay success and probably even deemed some of them unbelievable. EBay has taken internet sales by storm and many people around the world are now making a great full time living from eBay alone.

I began selling on eBay in April of 2006 and quickly found just how profitable eBay can be. EBay became my primary income only 3 months after my first sale. I now make a 6 figure full time income generated only by my eBay Powerseller accounts. Here are a few tips to follow to help you get started on the road to financial freedom for yourself. Start selling items from around your home Go through your closets, garage, cupboards, attic and basement and look for things you don’t use or no longer need. Remember, trash is trash, but things you might think of as trash actually can be sold on eBay very easily. Selling items that you no longer need or want will help increase your feedback and allow you to build your reputation on eBay. You probably won’t get rich selling the stuff you don’t want, but it sure is a great way to remove clutter from your home and make you some extra cash. The Feedback Score is Very Important As mentioned above, you want to build your feedback. Shoot to get your feedback score up in the double or triple digits as quickly as possible. This will make a huge difference to your potential customers. Feedback scores are grouped together into one category whether you are buying or selling. If people want to view your feedback score (your reputation) they can visit your feedback profile area and read the comments that are left by previous buyers and sellers that you dealt with. Do people really do that? YES they do. Sign Up With PayPal 95% of all payments I receive are made to me through PayPal. PayPal accepts credit card payments and electronic checks so you don’t even need to get a merchant account to sell on eBay or anywhere else online. PayPal is set up to be a simple and fast funding source for eBay customers and is quickly becoming one of the primary payment sources all over the internet.

Communication is very important! EBay is all about how well you can communicate.

Your item description is one of the most important factors in whether or not your item sells. Your description should tell the buyer everything about the item you are selling. Lots of quality pictures are also a very important factor to determine whether or not you make a sale. Once again look at what the other sellers are doing and take note of why some sellers just seem more credible than others. It is OK if you are selling something that is flawed or scratched as long as you tell the buyers about it in your ad. Do not be afraid to point out the condition of the item. If it is not working it can still sell. There are people looking for what you are selling. It all comes down to price and whether or not they find you a credible seller. Be sure to communicate with the buyer before, during and after the sale. Messages sent letting customers know what is going on at all points in the process will help assure you receive a positive feedback. Be sure to send a thank you message when the item is won or purchased and additional messages when you receive payment and ship their item. In all your communications be polite and courteous. When you do this you will build an incredible reputation and people will be spreading the word about you as a great eBay seller. Don’t get discouraged It is likely that it will take a while to become accustom to selling on eBay and build your reputation to the point that you see regular sales. People are bargain hunting on eBay, so find items you can afford to sell, and price them so you can make the profit you want. If you have items that are hand crafted or homemade, decide if the price you can sell them at is going to be worth your time and effort.

Search eBay for items similar to your own and get an idea of the price things sell for. Check your competition. Find out if hundreds of people selling the same item? Can you compete with them? Are your suppliers selling the same products on eBay? Millions of items sell on eBay daily so don’t limit yourself or get your heart set on selling one specific thing. You can make great money selling on eBay just like the millions of eBay sellers all over the world. Whether you want to be an EBay seller part time as a hobby, or turn it into a full time business will be up to you. These 5 basic tips will help you set the foundation to build a profit producing eBay business of your own.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on Product Launching And The Emotional Investment · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Product launching can be a bit of an unnerving experience.

Imagine what it was like for executives to roll out products like the wii, iPhone and Xbox? The manufacturer wanted to get everything right and if the buzz was significant (and it was with the three products listed), public scrutiny would likely be intense.

Your product may or may not be as publicly visible as these products, but it does bear your individual stamp. Your reputation is represented when you unveil a new product. While nothing can compare with the joy of childbirth the development and launch of an all-new product can be a similar personal experience. The reason this is true is that there may be very little that is more personal and potentially satisfying than being able to pursue and fulfill a dream. Once you reach the point of product lunch there is not turning back. The public will be able to view the product and they will formulate opinions about that product. They will share their opinions with others, and as unfair as it may seem they may form their opinions without actually making a purchase. It can be hard watching potential consumers form negative opinions about a product they have not purchased, but they will do so. They will also compare it to other products that may be similar and conclude that the product is simply a rip-off of the existing, more established, product. People in general are prone to comparisons. Even online search engines are designed to assist the consumer in comparison-shopping so it’s possible your product will be generally lumped into a category and listed with other similar products when a comparison shopping search engine is applied. You may want to rail against the system and fight against the tide of conformity, or you can simply work to establish the differences in your product and help set it apart both in description and product understanding. As the facilitator and/or creator of your product you know what is unique about it. This is the arena of separation.

This is where you can take that product and make it unique. Once the product is more firmly established work at establishing brand loyalty through a wide variety of means not the least of which is identifying the emotional attachment existing customers may have with the product. Every product you see on store shelves had a designer. Hours were spent developing the product and a steep emotional investment was made to move it from what one person could see in the back of their mind to a product that is useful and enjoyable by many. These product pioneers essentially worked very hard so that in the end you could take their product for granted. Where the product creator meant to or not their desire is that you come to enjoy the product enough that in the end you simply grab it from the shelf or order it online because it is a product you regularly use and know you need. Yes, product launching is personal, but it is also something that in a best-case scenario results in a purchase based on a common need.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on Niche Preservation: How To Carve Yours And Make A Profitable Membership Site · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Membership marketing is the dream of several web entrepreneurs.

Ideally, you want to do something, or find something regularly enough, that people will pay you money to tell them about it, or provide a service that they will pay money to get access to.

Membership sites, done right, can bring in multiple income streams. Doing them right means doing targeted marketing and services and content. Targeting your market properly is a three step process. Identify. If you already have a market in mind, great. You’re ahead of the game. Now, the next step is to see if it’s a market that will generate income. While generating a membership web site that just has members and no income is great ego boosting, it’s not good for the wallet. The key to identifying your niche is slicing it as fine as possible. For example, if your passion is classic cars, and passing on information about parts and refurb shops, that’s one thing – if you make it classic Camaros, you’ll target only those people with a passion for that make and model of car, and given the volumes of information pouring in to them every day, getting information targeted to what they want is worth more money. The basic equation of content is that paying you money saves your customer the time of trying to find the things you’re finding for them. Brainstorming targeted niches needn’t be focused on a particular product. It also works to target a particular demographic, or a geographical area. Talk to your family, your friends, and business associates, and see if you can find that winning combination of membership niche and focus to get a nice stable business. If you don’t have a market in mind already, focus on what you have a passion to research and what you have a passion to do. Determine Demand. There are a number of ways to determine the demand of a niche. Start out old school – go the library and go to the book store. Look for what’s on the best seller list, look for topic areas of the library getting lots of traffic and look for sections of the book store, like cooking or religion or home repair, where an adjunct web site can provide timely information Next, do keyword research for AdWords on Google, and look for things that got «missed».

Start from the general and work to the more specific, and again, focus on topics that you enjoy researching and have a passion about. This can help find several nice possibilities for profitable niches. Keyword searches are great metrics for determining demand. Research The Subject And Customer Demands. Go beyond keyword research to isolate and identify your target market. If your aim is off, your profits will be too. Look on forums and chat rooms; they’re a fascinating cross section of your potential market. The people who hang there are the most dedicated of your customers, and you can observe them anonymously. Look for the things they’re searching for and provide it. If you’re feeling bold, register for the forum and talk to them. Ask questions. Look at the answers. You don’t want to give away the store, but a little Q&A is a good thing for identifying your customer base, and locking in on their needs. You should also dig in to relevant web sites. Look at what sites are serving the niche you’re targeting and ask yourself what you can do better. Look at the products they’re offering, look at the advertisers on their sites as well; visit the sponsored sites and learn, learn, learn. Back up your online research with another library visit. Read the specialist magazines devoted to your topic. Look at what products are being advertised, look at their editorial guidelines and look at their article submissions. Remember that magazine advertising costs anywhere from $800 per page to $5,000 per page – any company advertising here is probably worth approaching about advertising or affiliate marketing from your web site. Research other informational sites – start with article directories, like ezinearticles.com Dig deep into them, and see what demand there is for the information. Look at the sites of the people posting articles and take notes about what they’re doing right that you can copy, and what you can do better to get an edge.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on Making Money Through Crafting · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Crafting is an art that is often underappreciated in the job force.

The few crafting opportunities available in a 9-to-5 setting tend to be in factories offering extremely low wages. Yet, this is not the only legitimate way of using crafting talents for making money. The other option for making money through crafting is by taking a work-at-home crafting job. Making money through this venue is much more profitable both financially and emotionally for crafters. The only problem is sifting through the scams from genuine opportunities. There will be some trial and error in this process as unfortunately sometimes real crafting companies will do things in a way that on the surface may appear to be a scam. This article will explain in detail what is involved when you do go about making money with a bona fide crafting company. With the knowledge you’re about to gain, hopefully you’ll be in a better position when finding at-home crafting jobs. First, you need to understand that the rule that you’re not supposed to pay for a job doesn’t apply when you’re making money through crafting at home. One of the reasons why is because most at-home crafting jobs are considered business opportunities, which means you are ‘hired’ as an independent contractor. And as an independent contractor, it is not unusual that you will have to pay for the materials needed to do your job. In the case of at-home crafting opportunities, you will usually have to pay for training materials and/or a starter kit. Most legitimate crafting companies will reimburse your fee if you can properly assemble what is contained in your starter kit. Secondly, when you go about making money through an at-home crafting job, expect that you will have to go through a rigorous inspection process. What happens is the crafting company will send you a model that is a ‘perfect’ sample of whatever craft you are working on. This model serves as a guide for what your craft needs to look like when it’s complete. However, you are not allowed to keep the model, as you must return it with your craft. The inspector will compare the model with your craft. If it does not look similar, your craft will be returned to you along with a list of things you did incorrectly. You must correct your craft in order to receive payment for your starter kit and move on to a larger set of crafts. Most craft companies will allow you to keep trying to redo your craft several times until you get it right. Some, (such as New England Crafters), may even give you unlimited tries without charging you for an extra kit. Once you do get your craft approved, the inspection process may be a bit more lenient since you have already proven yourself, but it doesn’t go away.

Finally, you should know that making money through crafting is not easy even with companies that are legitimate. Most crafting projects will require sewing, precision with a glue gun, working with clay, beading and much more. And while these things may sound easy, actually doing them especially on items that tend to be intricate can be extremely difficult. However, if you are already a crafter with intermediate or advanced skills, you should have no problem making money with an at-home crafting job.

Sounds like an easy way to make money, doesn’t it? Compared to other offline small business ventures, it is. Yet internet marketing failures still vastly outnumber those who have succeeded in internet marketing. For every story you hear of someone making $10,000 a month at internet marketing there are hundreds of untold stories of those who failed to make a profit or only made a few dollars and then quit. Why do so many fail when the potential to succeed is high? 1. Failure to plan – No matter what type of business you are running you need a business plan with well-defined goals.

What are your short-term and long-term goals? What steps do you need to take to meet those goals? Write out your plan and review it frequently.

You are running a small business. Treat it as one. 2. Failure to work the plan – So you already have a business plan? Are the following it? A plan means nothing if you don’t follow it. Work the plan every single day. Revise it if necessary but don’t detract from it. 3. Making goals too big early on – Many internet marketing failures try to do too much too fast. You are not going to create the ultimate web site for dog lovers overnight. Start small with dog training tips and add content daily. Those 1,000+ page web sites took months or years to build, so will yours. 4. Lack of knowledge – Would you be a successful plumber without knowing anything about plumbing? No. Then to be a successful internet marketer you need to learn internet marketing. Find a successful mentor willing to help you and you will be way ahead of the crowd. 5. Not investing in your business – You won’t get any support or very much web traffic on with a free web host. Many times, the best ebooks, scripts, and tools are the ones that cost money. You can run an online business for next to nothing but you’ll achieve faster and more profitable results by investing in the right tools. 6. «If I build it, they will come» – You can have the most comprehensive and informative website on natural healing in the world but if you don’t promote your site and work to drive traffic to it no one will know about it. There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. You should be using several of them. 7. Lack of patience – You will not be making $10,000 a month when you start. Internet marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes time and testing to build your web traffic and increase your conversion rate. In the beginning you might actually lose money and this is when too many people give up without giving their business time to grow.

8. Wrong niche – So you wrote that ebook on underwater basket weaving and you’re wondering why nobody is buying it? Find a niche but make sure it’s profitable first. Too many times people create the product first then try to figure out how to sell it. Find out what the people want then give or sell it to them. 9. No Uniqueness – There are a million low carb diet books out there, what makes yours so unique? Why should I buy your widget when Bob’s widgets are just as good and he’s been selling widgets a lot longer than you? Stand out from the crowd and get noticed. Know your competition and do what they do better or do something totally different. 10. Lack of commitment – To be successful, you must be committed to success. Behind every success story there are many hours of work and dedication. You’ll need drive and determination if you want to be the next internet success story everyone is talking about. Print out these ten reasons for failure and post it next to your computer monitor or tape them to your bathroom mirror. Everyday review your online business and make sure you are not making any of these mistakes. Do this and you are well on your way to being an internet marketing success.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on Traffic Generation And Affordable SEO Services · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Traffic generation is of extreme importance to your online business, and affordable SEO services are equally important in securing that website traffic. In order to help you achieve the type of traffic you need to make your online business a success, we shall look at each of these statements separately and discuss what options are available to enable you to attract the visitors that are essential to your online future. Although there are ways to attract traffic other than through search engine optimization, it is definitely to your benefit if you can secure traffic by means of the free advertising that a high listing in search engines such as Google and Yahoo can provide you with.

There are many ways in which you can make your website as search engine friendly as possible and improve its capacity for traffic generation. Did you notice the mistake I just made there? I mentioned websites in the same sentence as search engine. True search engines look at web pages, not web sites. More on that in a minute. In order to make it easier for me (and you) I am going to apply the name Google whenever I write about ‘search engine’, since although Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, Ask, etc are important, no one can deny that Google is the biggest search engine. Not only that, but it was the first true search engine. Yahoo started life off as a web directory, and if your site was not in the Yahoo directory, it would not be listed in a search. Now, however, in addition to being a website directory, Yahoo, MSN and Ask are true web search engines, the same as Google. I will explain the difference later from my website that you can access from the link in my Resource Box. For the moment, accept the fact that Google and the other true search engines crawl the whole World Wide Web for the web pages that are most relevant to the search term that your customers are using to find the information they are seeking. Did you notice what I just wrote there? ‘Web pages’? Not ‘web sites’ but web pages, as I mentioned earlier. Google and the rest list individual web pages in order of relevance to its interpretation of the words that your potential visitors use to find their information. That is very important to keep in mind. How do they do that? How do the search engines decide what is relevant and what is not to a character string – that is all that your search term is. That is another story really, but it is connected with what is commonly termed ‘Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)’, a misnomer for a mathematical statistical analysis of the vocabulary on each of your web pages. I say misnomer, because LSI is not an indexing technique, but an analysis method that uses character strings and known juxtaposition of characters, to determine what you are writing about through the use of contextual relevance of the whole passage of your text to the keyword, or theme, that you have highlighted by means of the search engine optimization techniques available to you. Nobody can make a web page LSI compliant, or ‘use’ LSI on a website. It is akin to saying that you can use probability equations to write an article on fly fishing. It is a nonsense that even the best known internet gurus believe, unless they are lying to us and I sure that they would not do that. They must therefore be more ignorant than we believed them to be, which explains quite a lot all things considered.

Which of the two options would they admit to I wonder. You no longer need the oft-quoted 1% – 3% keyword density on your web page, but instead more vocabulary and content on your page that makes the topic of that page clear, without any doubt, to software that parses our page for its meaning in additional to human readers who can tell that at a glance. You have to use more vocabulary than just repeat the keyword or Google and the rest of the search engines will not list your page. The most affordable SEO services will provide you with the small things that you do to your individual web pages to improve your listing position and traffic generation capability. Such services need not be expensive, although the sites you find online that offer them tend to charge high prices since they are targeting large companies rather than individuals with single small websites of a hundred pages or less. One technique that they all mention, however, is the use of meta tags. Many get it wrong! The only important meta tags are the Title and Description tags. You should also point out to the spiders what your more important vocabulary is by use of H tags, bold text, italics and underlining. Google appreciates that, but while you might be rewarded for doing so, you will not be punished for not doing so. There is a massive difference between breaking the rules and failing to give a helping hand. Your linking strategy is of critical importance, and you must have a good number of links back to your web page from other relevant web pages. Take note of the two important words I have used there: ‘pages’ and ‘relevant’. I could write 10 pages on Google PageRank without doing it justice, so won’t start now. Just believe me that you get a share of the Google PageRank of a page linking to yours (not of the home page of that site), and since most linking pages are designed only to hold URL links and consequently contain masses of other links on them, then your share is practically zilch. Do not therefore give a website a link from your home page that reciprocates with one from deep inside the directory structure that provides you with absolutely no benefit. You cannot lose PageRank by providing a link, but why should you give more than you get. Come to an arrangement: you will provide a link from your PR 5 page if the other party reciprocates.

Not if their link is from a PR 0 page. There are many more ways in which you can legally attract search engines to your website and achieve high listings and to generate loads of traffic. There are also many illegal methods of doing so. It is the end result that counts, but before you can even begin to understand what the term ‘black hat’ means, you must first understand what SEO means! Traffic generation is critical to your success, and if you can find affordable SEO services to help you to achieve that, then you are most of the way there. The effect that good search engine optimization has on the generation of traffic to selected pages within your website cannot be over-estimated and will likely determine your future over the next year.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on Trend Or Fad? What To Ask Before Choosing Your Product Line · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

While it’s important for every online seller to keep their eyes on consumer buying developments in their product market, it’s equally important for them to understand whether those development are trends, or merely fads. It’s easy to confuse the two; but to source the right products for your E-Biz customers, you need to be able distinguish between them.

Short-term Thinking “Fads are random sparks that catch on with a group of people,” explains Lisa Suttora, founder of trending site http://WhatDoISell.com. “They come out of nowhere, burst into a full-blown buying frenzy, and then quickly fizzle out.” The problem occurs when you mistake a fad for a trend. By the time you recognize a fad product’s popularity and begin sourcing and selling it, that product is already on its way out. Prices spiral downward, and you end up holding a lot of inventory no one wants. Selling fads is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Because fads aren’t fueled by consumer wants or needs, there’s no repeat group of customers to whom you can continually market. You may successfully supplement your regular sales with fad merchandise on occasion, but jumping from fad to fad is not a good long-term business strategy. A Stable Approach Trends, on the other hand, are usually the result of other past trends that have merged and developed. Based on buyer lifestyles, trends move with rhyme and reason, and tend to progress and morph over time, rather than abruptly disappear. Upcoming trends are shaped primarily by consumer values. If you monitor the things that matter to your target market – the issues they’re talking about, and the things on their minds – you’ll see those ideals reflected in current trends. Following are just a few examples: • Recent concern for the environment has resulted in a surge of “green” products in nearly every product category. • An enduring demand for the best of everything has given rise to luxury or “premium” offerings in markets from food and beverages to baby strollers to laundry detergents to RV accessories. The advantage of working with trends is that they can be tracked and predicted. If you’re carefully following the trends in your market, you’re going to have a good idea of where they’re going next and what products you should begin sourcing now. Because you’re dealing with a target group of consumers to whom you can repeatedly sell a diverse array of products that relate to a common need or interest, you can achieve sustainable selling success. Which is Which? To determine whether you’re looking at a trend or a fad, simply ask yourself what the reason is behind this buying development: Is there a consumer desire or need? A lifestyle change? Can you identify a trend or multiple trends out of which it has grown? If so, you’re dealing with a trend. If there’s no rhyme or reason (think of the pet rock), then you’ve pinpointed a fad and should think very carefully before investing your inventory dollars. Understanding the difference between fads and trends is critical to your product sourcing.

Following fads won’t get you to your long-term goals, but you can and should build a successful e-tail business around market trends. Advises Suttora, “Study the trends in your product niche. That’s how you’re going to continually bring your buyers the products that resonate with their current concerns and priorities, and stay relevant to your customer base.”

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Rise And Fall Of The Multimedia Projector · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

One of the staple activities that any business entity undertakes on a regular basis is the holding of a meeting. The reasons for meetings vary; e.g., discussion of reports, presentation of concepts, issue resolution, etc. Invariably, these meetings require the use of documents to assist in the discussion. When the meeting is between 2 to 3 people, hard copy documents will suffice, but when there are more participants, it is more effective to have everyone viewing just one document so that the interaction is specific to one part of the document.

Huddling around a document is one way to do this. However, it does become quite a task. That is why the multimedia projector is fast becoming part of the standard office equipment of most businesses, large and small. Having a multimedia projector in the office did not use to be so common a few years ago. In fact, it was even considered to be excessive to have one. The early versions were very bulky (some were big enough to fit into a standard check-in suitcase. Some actually even came with one!), difficult to set-up (fickle mindedness seemed to be a design consideration, i.e., you could not just connect it to any medium), required that the venue be completely dark, and cost as much as your boss’s annual salary in terms of acquisition as well as maintenance. The bulb alone, which is almost guaranteed to get busted when the number of hours stated in the manual occurs, probably costs more than all your lights in the office! As a result, only large organizations could actually afford the investment. Smaller organizations had to content themselves with primitive devices like the whiteboard marker, or the traditional overhead projector (a device that projects the content of a hardcopy document printed on transparent film (modern versions can now display documents printed on plain paper). The use of multimedia projectors then was not really considered cost-effective. The days of the prehistoric multimedia projector, however, are over. Thanks to the new technologies used in designing and manufacturing them, multimedia projectors are now much, much smaller, lighter, project brighter, media-friendlier, (you can connect it to almost any computer or media player. There are even models that do not even require separate equipment! All you need is your disc or flash drive), easier (and, of course, cheaper) to maintain and, most importantly, cost a mere fraction of what their ancestors used to cost. This rise in technological superiority and fall in investment has accelerated the availability of a multimedia projector in almost every business, both large and small which, as a result, has made interaction in meetings more focused, efficient and productive. There are several suppliers of multimedia projectors (both in brick-and-mortar and online stores) that you can choose from so be sure that before you purchase one, you check out a few of them and ask as many questions as you want so that your purchase is an informed one. They will only be too happy to assist you.

09. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Business Planning Process: Launch Your Small Business Startup With Success · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Business planning is one of the most important steps towards building a successful startup business, and you can use some specific strategies to create a comprehensive outline. An effective business plan will help you determine your goals and help you organize all of your small business ideas with ease. If you’ve ever been stuck with too many ideas and not knowing where to start, business planning will help take the pressure off. Understanding the business planning process is important for creating something that works, and something that will help you reach your goals. Launching your small business startup is much easier with a clear, step-by-step outline; here’s what you need to know: Step 1: Organize your table of contents. This will help you outline each area of your business to include your mission statement, products and services, number of employees, and any basic market research information. Step 2: Collect attachments and appendix materials. These are especially important if your business plan will be reviewed by potential investors or business partners, and can also help with your online business planning strategy. Step 3: Create a list of key topics and sections.

Not only will this create a cohesive document, but you’ll also be able to jumpstart your business planning process with a clear ‘map’ or guide of all your strategies. This list is especially helpful if you’re not sure where to begin, since you can just put each item down on paper and organize it accordingly. Step 4: Assign projects and tasks for each area. This is an effective business planning strategy as it helps you break down each goal into actions steps. Assigning tasks and objectives in this way makes it much easier to stay on track during each step. Step 5: Check for grammar, spelling, and even factual errors. Making sure your plan and notes are clear of mistakes is especially important if you’ll be presenting it to others. Doing a quick check will also help you determine if you missed any pieces of critical information and help you fine tune the final draft. Step 6: Write up an executive summary for your small business startup. This is an important step for all business owners, and can help you pull together the entire plan in a few short pages. Many business owners turn to this summary when they need a briefing on objectives during the course of business, and you can include basic points and topics as if you were presenting it to a board or audience. Step 7: Get an outsider’s perspective. While you need to keep your business planning strategy and ideas as confidential as possible, sharing your plan with a trustworthy person can help you catch a few key elements of your project. Get an objective view of your plan and notes so you have everything in well-organized and presented in a logical way. Business planning doesn’t have to be difficult, but many startup business owners are intimidated by the process. Take the time to organize the critical areas of your business and put them in a logical order. Then, break them down into specific objectives and tasks so you have a strong idea of how you can be successful in each area. The time and effort you put into business planning will pay off for the long run, and help you launch your small business startup with success.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on What Type Of Home Based Business Will You Choose? · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Many people dream of having a financially secure future that they control.

There are many keys that will determine if you are able to find this type of destiny for yourself or not. Some of the things that you need to consider whenever you are choosing what kind of business opportunity to get into are, will your business be online or off-line, how much time will this business take to start, run and maintain and, of course, how much startup cost is involved. Finding the correct home based business that will fit into your lifestyle is critical if you are going to be successful with it. There is no reason to start a busines that is not a fit with your lifestyle and experience. The first thing that you need to consider is if you are going to have an online business or an off-line business. For many years, people that have an entrepreneur spirit and have wanted to work on their own in order to build financial wealth, have looked to brick and mortar businesses. Within the past 10 years or so, however, a major shift has taken place in which the Internet has provided a quick and easy way for people to set up shop online. Although brick and mortar businesses will always have their places, online businesses are certainly the wave of the future. Online businesses offer both a low startup cost and low risk so you can certainly test the waters and know if an online business is right for you quickly. This gives you a chance to see if this is a business that you can be sucessful at and also enjoy without investing all of your money in one place. The next thing that you have to consider is how much time your new business is going to take you to start up, run and maintain. There is certainly a lot of variety as far as these three factors are concerned in any good business. Most people, however, simply do not have the time and resources necessary to be able to start a business while still maintaining the lifestyle that they are now enjoying. For that reason, a turnkey business is an absolute must for people that are simply too busy to be able to start a business that will take them hours upon hours to start and maintain. There are certainly plenty of these types of turnkey businesses online that offer you the opportunity to be able to start and run your business with minimal time investment, until you are able to devote yourself fully to it. The final thing that should be considered is the cost that is involved in starting up a business. Traditional brick and mortar businesses require a huge investment of both time and money. The Internet provides you with the opportunity to test businesses and to become successful with a minimal amount of time and money spent. Not only that, the audience that you will be reaching online far outnumbers those that you can reach by setting up shop in your local community.

That is why many people have turned to online businesses to help them to gain success quickly when entering the entrepreneurial marketplace.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Lowdown On Finding The Perfect Keywords · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Whenever I teach a class on Internet marketing, it’s inevitable that the term «keyword» comes up. Keywords tend to confuse people, mostly because there are numerous ways of figuring them out; not all of them are correct. Let me explain. When we think of keywords related to our topic, we often go to «root» keywords or, in layman’s terms: the first word that pops into our mind.

For example, if someone were to say: «Give me a keyword for books» you might say: «publishing.

» That’s a root keyword. It may seem like the right word to you, but it may not be a word that your reader or customer is searching on. Therein lies the key. You want to find relevant keywords in your market that people are actually searching for. Another example of this is the word: auto loan. If you’ve written a book on saving money you may think that drawing attention to your chapter on getting the best auto loan is a great idea. But what if your consumer searches on the term: car loan instead? Your keyword (auto loan) will go unnoticed. There are some commonalities in keywords; for example, the best keywords have a strong relevance to your topic and a high search volume. What this means is that as you’re trying to get away from ‘root’ words, you don’t want to get uber-creative and use words no one is searching on. The other piece to remember is the age-old marketing term: supply and demand. Whatever your search term you want to make sure that there’s a lot of demand, but very little supply. If you’re ready to start your search, here are a few sites that should help you. The first is the Google Adwords keyword search tool. What this tool will show you is a general overview of how popular a word is vs. how much supply there is for this word. While this site doesn’t give you actual search numbers, it’s a pretty thorough overview of search patters: adwords dot google dot com. The second is a version of Overture (more on that in a minute) that will show you how many searches have happened across Yahoo and MSN for a particular search term in the last 30 days: yooter dot com/keyword/overture.php Finally we have Overture. While this site will give you actual data, the numbers they give you aren’t updated daily, in fact they’re not even updated monthly.

Some of the stats you see will be three or more months old. But data is data and unless you’re sitting in a market that has heavy fluctuation, this should give you a good start: inventory dot overture dot com. Now that you’ve zeroed in on your perfect keywords, where will you use them? Well, adding them to your web site copy is a great idea but the ideal place to use these is in your press release. Why? Because it’s likely that you’re sending your press release out online (if you’re not, you should be) and with all the clutter on the ‘Net you’ll need these keywords to get noticed. Here’s a quick rundown of where and how you should use them:

• Use these words in the headline and first 50 words of your release

• Keep your release to no more than 600 words

• Use keywords for hyperlinking: what I mean by this is that anytime you link to a page on your site or some other external reference, you’ll want to use these keywords to help increase exposure to your press release. In order to maximize what you’re doing online, you’ve got to become very focused on your market and what your market wants. Figuring out the keywords and search terms your readers/consumers use will go a long way helping your message rise above the noise!

Just as there are great opportunities to work at home, there are also work from home scams that you need to avoid. The Internet has given way to a wide variety of opportunities, which include the chance of being able to work at home and earn good pay.

However, the Internet has also given way to a lot of opportunities to dishonest people and fraudulent companies.

There are now a lot of work at home scams, in particular, so you need to be more careful when choosing which ones to work on. The key to avoiding work at home scams is to recognize them right away even before considering joining in. Be very wary of those that offer you easy money, with ads telling you that you can earn thousands of dollars a month working part time in the comfort of your very own home. If the site promises this much but are hazy in providing details of the nature of the job they are offering, then start getting suspicious. If it sounds way too good to be true, then it probably is, right? One of the most important rules you need to follow if you want to maximize profits online is to steer clear of pyramid work at home scheme. There are so many forms out there right now, and a good number of them are disguised in one form or another. There are those that may actually work, but the chances that you may not be able to recover your invested cash are very high. Another potential work at home scams are those businesses that require you to recruit others first before you can start earning. Legitimate work at home opportunities must be focused more on the advertising and actual selling of products and services, and definitely not on recruiting others to follow suit. Some of the most common work at home scams are as follows:

• Envelope stuffing. This is not as simple as stuffing envelopes. They will usually ask you to do something more such as placing the ad in newspapers and magazines.

• Craft work or assembly. You will need to pay a lot of many for your equipment and materials. Some even require you to buy sewing machines, only to find out that the company never really buy your assembled craft as they are sub-standard in their eyes.

• Computer work requiring sign-up fees. These generally gets you some good to nothing guide with the most generic information on running a online business and list of companies you can contact to get started. These contacts are usually either not interested or pay too little to be worth your time.

• Medical billing. You are usually required to pay thousands of dollars to invest in software, in training and for technical support. You buy these without the assurance of getting any clients at the end of the day. Work at home scams are simply intent at taking your money without actually leaving you a job to do or any return of investment. Remember that legitimate business opportunities, be they work at home or otherwise, will not require you to pay unreasonable fees just to get more information. More so, genuine companies will not resort to pressuring tactics to force you to work with them. Make sure that you use your intuition and follow what your instincts tell you.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on Plans For A Home Business Should Be Kept Simple · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Businesses can carry complications within the internal workings. Because of this you should keep plans for a home business as simple as possible. Choose a business that is not overly complex. Choosing a business area that you already have knowledge or skills in. Taking a hobby or past time and creating a home business from that is one easy way to begin on the path to a simple home business. An example of this is a person who knits, can knit hats, gloves, scarves and so on and sell those items for a profit. Likely this person already has materials, tools and other business needs on hand. This is keeping your home business simple and easy. On Hand Equipment As in the example above you should try to use tools and other items that you already have on hand. Computers, phone lines, copiers, fax machines, sewing machines, childcare equipment and so on. Take a look around your home for inspiration. In the time that it takes for you to do a walk through of your home you may find this is all of the time it will take to know which direction you will go to pursue your home business. By doing so you are already calculating what items you need to buy and how much funding it may require to do so. Completing two tasks at one time is keeping business simple. Prepared Workspace Using a workspace that is readily available for you to begin working in is another way to keep your home business easy. A home office can be used for data entry positions or accounting services. A basement or garage can be used to perform woodworking or pottery sculpting. Your living room can be used to relaxingly knit clothing or your sewing room for quilting sellable items. Using a space that is already prepared for your business can shave off preparation time and save money as well.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Ultimate Guide To Starting A Home Based Businesses · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Are you dissatisfied with your current job? Maybe you don’t like the salary you are getting… being forced to work long hours with little monetary compensation.

Or, maybe it’s the environment itself, since many Corporate offices may have a dog-eat-dog mentality. Maybe you are saddened because you are missing out on your baby’s ‘firsts’. Whatever the problem is, you can change your destiny by starting a home based business. If you don’t know where to start when it comes to creating a home based business, read on as this article will explain how. The first thing you need to do to establish a home based business is to think about what your credentials and how you are going to use them to make money. If you type fast and have excellent word processing skills, you can start a data entry/word processing business. If you’re good with children you can open a daycare. If you are talented in the area of writing you can write articles and books for a living. The possibilities for what you can do through your home based business are endless once you start the process of brainstorming. Next, you will need to establish the legal presence of your home based business. The best way to do this is to get a business license and a trade name. You can do both through your local court system. If you want the specific websites for your state, you can research the Small Business Administration. Once you have done these things, you may want to consider branching out as a limited liability company or a corporation. By doing so you are allowing tax advantages for your home based business. Now, you will need to advertise your home based business. You can start by building a website.

Companies like Geocities allow you to make websites for home based businesses for free.

However, you will want to at least pay for your domain name, since most free websites have long, complicated URLs that people will not be able to easily remember. If you want you can make some extra money on the side by selling advertising space on your website and/or joining affiliate programs. This is a great income stream you can have in addition to whatever is generated from your home based business. Once the website for your home based business is up, you can begin advertising in various venues. Free advertising can be done by submitting your site to search engines, passing out flyers, writing articles to free article directories, writing press releases and networking through friends and family. Paid advertising can be done through pay-per-click programs such as Adwords, direct mail campaigns, newspapers and cable television. In conclusion, the process of starting a home based business is not really that hard. The only real difficult you will have in determining what you’re going to do and how you’re going to get clients. Once you have addressed these issues, eventually your home based business will become successful enough that you will never again have to worry about the drudgery of a 9-to-5 job.

There is more to leadership than just position, and people with such titles have to work extra hard to really deserve such positions. There is an extra load on their shoulders and that is the weight of proving themselves efficient leaders. An effective leader has to prove himself worthy of the position. You must prove that you can lead, which means you have to go the extra mile, exert the extra effort, put in that extra hour. When in a position of leadership, it is no longer about time you clocked in or effort that went into your work; but the results you are able to achieve. You have to show you can get the job done, get the results needed, regardless of how. This drums up your credibility as an effective leader. A person without a goal is like a ship without a destination. You might wander aimlessly, going where the wind and tide will take you.

You have to take control and map our your destination in a clear goal. The best goals are formulated with the SMART principle. A great goal has to have these characteristics. S for specific, M for measurable, A for attainable, R for realistic and T for time-bound. Fear may be a weapon of choice wielded by some leaders, but this causes limitations in performance of the individual or team. You can only bring out the best in people when they are in an environment of mutual respect and not fear. A member of your team does what you tell them to, simply fearing a scolding or reprimand if they do not do as told, and they only produce so little. A member of your team who respects you will not only do what they are told, they may even surprise you by delivering more than what you expected of them. They are willing to work harder to achieve the team’s goals. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but you do not want to go with the most inexpensive host you can find. If you site comes up quickly, presents itself well and you take your potential customer to exactly what they are looking for you will have a much higher chance for success. We will talk more about the importance of having the right keyword, landing page and affiliate programs on your site. It took me awhile to understand how much of a impact these seemingly small things can have on your conversion rate. Well that’s it for this time. For the same reason it is possible to open a shop in your town. People buy things, and the Internet has gained the needed popularity and trust of an every day consumer. In our century people will buy anything online; from the most useless items priced at $0.01 to beautiful mansions somewhere in Beverly Hills that goes for $5 M. About making a dishonest buck – well most scams and dishonest money making opportunities are often monitored and stopped in quick manners. Regular Internet users care and report «fishy» deals offers and businesses. Unfortunately there are still people who earn money online in dishonest manners – but these kinds of people exist in our every day life – not only the Internet. There are millions of very honest and legal ways to earn money on the internet.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on Product Creation And The Midnight Stroll · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Imagine being asked to climb a mountain.

You gaze at the snow-capped peak and you are excited to undertake the adventure. Your instructor tells you there is a reward for reaching the summit. This only fuels your desire to get on the trail. You gather all the supplies you will need for travel and you place the burden on your back as you prepare to take the first step in your journey. You grab your walking stick and begin to take a step. “Hold on,” your instructor says. “I forget to mention the most important part of this journey. You can only walk in the dark and the only light you can use is a flashlight. You will also walk alone.” What? This has to be the strangest journey you have ever considered, but there is that reward waiting at the top. So what do you do while you wait for darkness to descend? If you’re smart you work to burn into your mind what that mountain looks like and you try to pick out where you need to go on your way to getting your reward. You do this so that when darkness comes you still have a picture of the mountain even though the only thing you can see is the next step in front of you. Each step guides you closer to your reward, but the only clear picture you can rely on is the one that is burned into your mind from the valley below. This is a fairly accurate picture of what it is like to engage in product creation. The reward waiting is the actual product available for sale, but the only clear picture you have of the end result is a dream you believed in prior to the journey from thought to actual product. You can research all you want to help you see where to take the next step, but that step may lead to another location where more research is needed before taking another step forward.

This process is very much like trying to climb a mountain in the dark; you know where you want to go you just can’t see clearly how to get there.

Product creation is not for the faint of heart and it’s not for the weak of will because no matter how much research and work you put into the product the end result provides no assurances that the product will be a best seller. The reward may simply be in proving to yourself that you were strong enough to follow through with something enormously difficult and at the conclusion you tangibly held what had once been a dream. For most this moment opens doors that are more important long-term than our ability to engage in product creation because this act says a lot about our ability, tenacity and follow through. After all, anyone can have a dream, but very few do something about it. If you are in the midst of product creation you have undertaken a noble endeavor and one that perhaps only you were destined to accomplish.

08. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Wrong Type Of Advertising Will Cost Your Home Based Businesses Big Bucks · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Many people running home based businesses are using the wrong types of advertising to advertise their businesses. This is the main reason most people are failing to earn any type of money online or offline.

Most people have no clue how to market for their business. They end up using ineffective advertising techniques and end up quitting due to no money being made. Many companies have poor training and teach no solid marketing techniques. Many people are left out to hang and end up losing money, due to not having any marketing skills or training. This is the fundamental flaw with all businesses, a majority of business owners have no idea how to get more customers in their front door. Many home based business owners are using ineffective advertising techniques. Many of these advertising techniques will end up costing them money and will end up giving them very few results, if any. Let’s take a look at some of the advertising techniques which are truly ineffective. First many people are using classified ads to try and build their businesses. This is very ineffective and this form of advertising can end up costing you big bucks. Everyone and I mean everyone is posting their business opportunities to classified ad sites. Why does everyone post to these sites? Simple, it is simple to post to these sites and hope someone sees your ad amongst the other thousand of business opportunity ads there. Next people are using traffic exchanges to try and advertise for their home based businesses. Traffic exchanges are even worse places to use than classified ad sites. Traffic exchanges are a complete waste of time and are not worth your time or money. Lastly many people are trying to use banners to advertise their business.

This is also another ineffective way to build your business.

Banner ads rarely get clicked on.

Using banner ads is just another example of your money going down the drain. What you will find in common with all of these forms of advertising is they do not work and they are highly oversaturated. You will find many people using these techniques to try and build their businesses. You will also find about 99 percent of all people trying to advertise using these methods, have no marketing experience what so ever. Now if you are truly looking to build a business, you will have to work or have the bankroll to hire specialists to run your business for you. There is no quick fix, building a business will either cost you money or time. Here are a couple of suggestions on advertising anyone can use to build their business. First writing articles and press releases is a highly effective way to build your business. This is free advertising. The key when writing articles and press releases is to write daily. Many people will write one or two articles a month and give up thinking it doesn’t work. But you must at least write 7 to 10 articles a week to be effective. Using Pay Per Click advertising is also an effective way to advertise your business. But you must at least have a budget of $1,000 per month to be effective. It also helps if you or someone you know, knows what they are doing. It can get a little tricky when first starting out. If you take anything out of this article you must remember your marketing campaign is the life of your business. Without solid advertising you are doomed to fail. With solid advertising for your home based businesses you can and will make a lot of money.

07. April 2012 · Comments Off on You Make The Money – Let Someone Else Sweat The Small Stuff · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Most people with an entrepreneurial spirit are looking for the right opportunity for them. Many of them end up jumping from opportunity to opportunity, never really settling in on the system that will work good for them in their own particular circumstances. One of the main problems with these types of opportunities is that they look good on the outside but on the inside they are full of unrealistic dreams and just far too much work for the average person to be able to do.

That is why in order for you to actually make money realistically in today’s marketplace, it is necessary for you to be able to start up a business and let somebody else take care of most of the work for you. It truly turns into a win-win situation. But does such an opportunity actually exist? 15 years ago, nobody would’ve thought that you could sit at home, behind your own personal computer and reach an audience that was almost unlimited in size. Most people that do have a basic understanding of how business and the Internet work, realize that it is not only a possibility, it is truly a reality. Any good business opportunity is going to make use of the Internet but not in the same way as many of the opportunity hopping systems make use of it. The Internet is commercial in nature, and it certainly is possible for you to build a successful, long term business by using it. By going with the proper system, you will be able to build your business by piggybacking on the strengths of those who both started and maintain the system to the benefit of everyone involved. Automation is really the key when it comes to Internet marketing. Although there is some work involved, any good online home based business opportunity will take on the bulk of the work involved. There are so many different scripts and automated systems that can not only help you to understand how the business works, it can also put it on autopilot for you. The true leaders in these businesses know that they must take on the bulk of the work in order for their members to be successful. That helps you to be able to start your business and to maintain it in the time frame that you have available. They will be able to take care of everything from getting new leads to selling to those leads for you. Once you are in the system, the entire process should be fully automated. Don’t fall for the marketing tactics of fly-by-night online business opportunities. Success can certainly be yours by choosing an opportunity that will not only fit in with your lifestyle, it will be able to help you with the process as you need it. In this way, you will be able to build yourself a successful business and to progressively grow it around your own existing schedule. Small successes feel good, large successes feel great and build you a future that you can actually see.

More and more people are catching on to the wonderful opportunities that exist through the internet to work at home making money being creative, selling junk they have lying around the house, and doing a myriad of other things that can bring in extra income. While few of these work at home internet businesses will bring in enough cash to let you quit your day job, they are perfect if you would like a little moremoney to supplement your salary. Best of all, the range of internet based jobs is so vast, virtually anyone can find a work at home business that caters to their talents and/or interests. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the more popular ways people are making more money working at home. The internet has created a demand for well written content. If you have always wanted to make money writing articles, this may be your chance to jump in and test the waters. Websites need a consistent flow of new content in order to rank well in the search engines and bring visitors back to their sites. They are willing to pay for this content, if you are willing to supply it. There are several ways to go about getting into this burgeoning industry. One way is to get an account at a freelancer job board and browse the listings. Website owners will place job needs on these websites and freelancers will bid for the job. There are also specific content websites that allow you to post your content, and webmasters will then purchase it directly from the site itself. If writing isn’t your thing, but you are creative-minded, you might give some of the T-Shirt and crafts websites a try. These websites let you use Photoshop to create designs and logos, which you can then sell on a variety of products, from coffee mugs to hats to shirts. These sites usually take the majority of each sale, but they are also covering the costs of production, so it’s only fair. And then of course there are the auction sites. Plenty has been written about how to make money with these sites, to the point where a rehash would be superfluous and beyond the scope of this article. The best way to start is to simply find things around your own house that you no longer want or need.

Instead of letting these things collect dust or throwing them out with the trash, list them at the auction sites and see what you can get out of them. You may be surprised. If you find you like the process, read up on the selling strategies of those who have been successful and follow in kind. The internet is constantly opening up new avenues for those who want to make money working at home. If you don’t like any of the existing models, nothing is stopping you from creating your own. The owners of eBay are making more than any seller, so if you have a great idea for a money making website, jump in with both feet and make it happen. Copyright © Brenda Chedester

07. April 2012 · Comments Off on Self Employment Tax Rules For Fiscally Challenged · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Even as your enthusiasm about finally making some money in your home based business is beginning to build, in the back of your mind the nagging worry about the tax ramifications that your sudden income will generate cannot be denied. Sure, you probably read up on tax liabilities, but more than likely with an eye to tax deductions rather than self-employment tax. Self-employment tax rules for the fiscally challenged are by no means all-inclusive, but they do provide a good rule of thumb that helps you understand how much of a hit you can expect Uncle Sam to take. When you are in business for yourself this is very important information to have and understand. Many a myth has sprung up around self-employment taxes, but in essence they are little more than your paying into the social security and also Medicare funds. In the past, you saw these deductions on your paychecks. At this point in time, your self-employment tax rate – regardless of income below $94,200 – is set at 15.3%. A much-overlooked rule dictates that you are supposed to pay your estimated self-employment tax throughout the year. This is true especially when you find at the end of the last year that you owed taxes – of any kind – exceeding $999. Estimated tax payments may be made during the year and thus will ease the hit you may take at the end of the year. Interestingly, if you just started out with your home base business, you might be able to get away with not paying self-employment tax, if your net income was at or below $399.

At this point it is still considered hobby income and will not be subject to the tax. If in doubt, you will be wise to invest some time and money and visit with your friendly neighborhood accountant who should be able to give you some tips as to what you might have to look forward to when the taxes come due. In addition to the foregoing, investing the time now and discussing monies owed as well as allowable expenses with your tax professional will prevent you from claiming – or attempting to claim – deductions for which you either do not qualify or only have a limited and conditional claim. Those who are truly fiscally challenged usually opt to have a tax preparer handle their business taxes at least during the first year so as to ensure that each and every schedule is included, the majority of deductions makes it into the return, and a good starting record is established that may serve as an example for the coming year when the entrepreneur might try to go it alone. Since the money you spend on a professional tax preparer is deductible, it is indeed a wise expense! As you can see, the self employment tax is not really something to be dreaded and feared, but it is a tax that must be paid and when you fail to make estimated payments throughout the year, you will find that the end of the year hit may be especially hard to take.

07. April 2012 · Comments Off on Vyatta Launches Community Edition 4 · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Vyatta (meaning ‘open’ in ancient Sanskrit), which took the networking world by storm through its introduction of the first commercially supported, open-source router and firewall solution a few years ago, is back in the news once again, this time with its robust and innovative network operating system, Vyatta Community Edition 4 (VC4).

Vyatta, the open source networking company, had announced to the media that they had released Vyatta Community Edition 4 (VC4), the latest version of its already popular, open source based network operating system to users. Over most currently available proprietary network solutions, the VC4 offers significant scalability improvements and expanded application support to its router/firewall/VPN feature set and achieves a 10X price/performance advantage. Pricing has one of the major advantages of Vyatta, which places it as a viable open-source alternative to solutions from majors like Cisco/Juniper. According to Vyatta sources, VC4 now scales from DSL to 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments, offering big and small enterprises and service providers with high-performance networks a robust, open alternative to expensive proprietary network systems. Further, VC4 incorporates new routing technology for enhanced performance and leverages the constant improvement in open-source components and the rapid advances within the x86 ecosystem for a substantial price over performance advantage. A recent Tolly Group analysis on the same showed that Vyatta achieved 2-3 times higher performance in internet routing against a cost saving of over 75% against the performance of Cisco’s 7200 product family. This adds up to 10X price/performance, as the company claims. Similarly, VC4 delivers high-performance 10 Gbps networking for as cost as less as $6,000 against $50,000+ for most competing proprietary products.

Apart from these, the Vyatta Community Edition 4 is designed to accommodate virtually any number of future applications and extensions to existing ones.

Also, much to the relief of managers of smaller networks using DSL or cable connections, VC4 provides support for PPPoE and dynamic interface IP addresses, and WAN load balancing. At the launch of the new product, Vyatta CEO quipped «Customers can now deploy and manage a single network OS, instead of juggling dozens of incompatible versions chasing after different product requirements. Along with a 10X price/performance advantage, the management advantages bring a radically better TCO to customers who embrace open networking. We’re thrilled with Vyatta’s adoption and community development to date, and are looking forward to delivering more advancements at a modern pace of innovation.» Vyatta’s Community Edition software has been downloaded over 150,000 times already by organizations in aerospace and defense, financial services, education, government, technology etc, and the number is increasing by the day. Hopefully, the new Community Edition version VC4 also draws similar interest from industries across all spectrums. Vyatta’s Community Edition 3, the predecessor to VC4, was launched in November 07. Vyatta’s other services include online training (called Vyatta University), worldwide technical support to the buyers of its products, and professional consulting services. Readers could find more about Vyatta products and services from www.vyatta.com. More web hosting review available at www.ixwebhostingreview.org

07. April 2012 · Comments Off on How To Keep Your Articles From Being Deleted From Article Directories · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

B Hopkins Articles are a great way to get added exposure to your website and business, and also a great way to increase your status as an expert in your field. Because of this fact, article writing and article submissions have skyrocketed. It is still an effective form of advertising, but you must be careful not to do things that will waste your time and effort. As an article directory manager, there are some things I see that cause me to delete articles that are submitted to the article directories I manage. These are 80% of the reasons I delete articles, so if you manage to avoid these problems, you will probably have a very good chance of getting your articles accepted by many of the article directories. Submit Articles That are Relevant To the Article Directory Subject Most article directories are general in nature and have a subject in just about every area, but there are now more article directories popping up that have more narrowly focused and specific subjects.

These are called the niche article directories. They are not as large as the general directories, but their subject matter is much more highly relevant to a specific niche. Visitors like to focus on these niche directory sites because they don’t have to wade through thousands of unrelated articles. Article directory managers like to manage these sites because they are much easier to manage. niche directories don’t grow as fast, but when it comes to having a site that is tightly focused, it’s hard to beat for bringing value to the sites visitors. Having said that, it still amazes me to see so many people placing obviously irrelevant articles in these directories. As an article directory manager, these articles get deleted without a second thought. Continuous offenders will get their accounts deleted. It does no good to continue this practice and only promotes bad will. Don’t Submit Articles That Are Taken Unchanged From Reprint Rights Packages The overabundance of private label articles rising out of nowhere, creates a lot of temptation to just take the article, add a new headline and post it willy-nilly to all of the article directories you can find. This tactic is becoming less and less likely to work as article directory managers are now aware of the article redundancy. No one wants to have a site with 10,000 articles only to find that there are really 3,000 unique articles. When I find articles that are like this, I delete both articles from the directory. Remember, most article directory owners are wanting to provide value to their visitors first and foremost (I did say ‘most’ as there are always exceptions). Having someone slog through 10 articles where the only difference is the synonyms used, isn’t providing the reader much value. Article directory managers who care about their visitors will usually delete these types of articles, and sometimes the accounts of the repeated offending article submitter. Link to Decent Sites in Your Resource Box A nice benefit to reading articles is that it allows the reader to go to another site to find more information if they are interested in the subject of the article.

Nothing is more disappointing than clicking the link on the resource box and going to a site that ends up advertising viagra or some other completely unrelated and questionable topic. Look at it this way, if you don’t feel comfortable sending your own mother to the site, then you can probably bet that someone who is reading about gardening tips or home repair isn’t going to be too happy about ending up at a site like that either. I have deleted some, what I thought were good articles, because they went to these sites, or they went to some really crappy software generated site that provided the reader absolutely no additional value. Those article submissions unfortuantely were a wasted effort. Think of it this way, as linking becomes more important, in the eyes of the search engines, do you think people are going to willingly want to link to sites that are sure to get banned, if they haven’t been banned already? Write Articles That Are a Useful Length Articles that are too short (usually less than 350 words) are considered more like blog entries or extended ads. Article directory owners like articles that provide value to their readers, because articles that are higher quality will be picked up by more website and ezine publishers who are looking for quality content. Articles that provide value usually solve a problem, tell a reader where they can find information to solve a problem and why it is a good source to use, give the reader a fresh spin on a particular topic, or just educate the reader about how to do something.

Articles that are only a few paragraphs usually tend to be glorified ads to a product or service.

You will get much more mileage out of writing valuable content, with a link back to your site in the resource box, than by writing 3 or 4 paragraphs as to why someone should use your product or service. Writing and submitting articles to article directories can be a very worthwhile marketing activity, however you can waste a lot of your valuable time if you use the techniques that will get your article deleted. Just use common sense about what you write, how you write it and your submission process, and you can enjoy rewards that article publishing can bring you.

07. April 2012 · Comments Off on Finding Your Online Business Niche · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

strength-training-woman.com I recently gave a seminar to folks interested in starting their own online business. Most of them were looking for information about shopping carts, search engine optimization, hosting, and tech related issues. I believe they were all stunned when I explained that I would not address any of their questions until they told me their niche. It felt as though 5 minutes passed by before any one said a word. I could tell that not one person knew their niche. I expected this. In fact most hopeful net entrepreneurs miss this very important first step.

Choosing your niche. It is so easy to get caught up in technical details, marketing, cash-flow charts and such, but what good is stressing about those concerns when no niche is chosen? It’s like putting the cart before the horse. Step 1 in creating an online business road map to success is defining your niche. Websters.com defines a niche as a situation or activity specially suited to a person’s interests, abilities, or nature. It also says a niche is a special area of demand for a product or service. A niche is a target market. It is focused, not broad. Here are a few examples of niches: golfing for women, hot rods of the 1970’s, Greek desserts, and organic herb gardening. Here are examples of topics that are not niches: golf, cars, food or gardening. Do you see how a niche is focused and a topic is broad? Determining your niche is the first step to producing a successful online business. Your business should be built around 1 niche. Your products or services should provide solutions to problems or concerns within your niche. Your site content should provide information about your niche. Creating an online business around your niche helps you rank better at search engines, positions you as an expert, and creates buzz in your industry. Here are a few simple questions to help define your niche: – What are your hobbies? – What experiences/skills have you collected through school and jobs? – What is your biggest passion in life? – What hobby/experience/skill/passion would you enjoy building a business around? – Have you often been told by people that you should go into business doing a particular thing? For example, sell your famous muffin mix or sell your web design services.

My best advice is to choose a niche that you are passionate about.

Building a business takes effort and patience. You will have a much harder time motivating yourself through the difficult periods of business if you dislike your niche. So choose wisely. Follow your gut and pick the best niche for you. Income will follow where passion and hard work lead. Begin researching your niche industry and then move forward with your plans. A successful online business road map will look something like this: – Choose niche. – Research industry. Find problems people have in that niche. – Brainstorm a service or product to solve people’s problems, or become an affiliate for an existing product/service. – Choose a hosting company that provides everything you need in one low cost price. A good hosting company will provide support, easy page building, traffic analysis, search engine optimization, ability to create a newsletter and RSS feed and much more. Check out my site to see who I use for my online business. – Begin building your site around your niche.

06. April 2012 · Comments Off on Your Own Home Business – 5 Reasons To Bless The Internet · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

The rapid expansion of the Internet has made it possible for more people than ever before to have their own home business.

People who once would have been forced to take low paid employment outside the home (or be unable to find any work at all) are now able to work at home and make money online. Without the Internet few of these people would have been able to start their own home business because the cost of doing so would have been out of their reach. Here are my top five reasons to be grateful for the Internet. 1. Freedom This just has to be the number one reason for practically anybody who has a successful home business. You have complete freedom to come and go as you please. You can work the hours you choose. If you need time off, you don’t have to beg for it. If you want to change your schedule, you can just do it. You can spend quiet moments during the day reflecting upon how lucky you are to have no boss watching your every move. 2. Flexibility Flexibility is a close second with most people who work at home. Many people who work at home, chose a home business because they needed flexible hours to fit in with family commitments. Most of these home business owners are women who chose to stay at home to look after their kids instead of going back to work and entrusting the care of their children to strangers after school and during vacation time. 3. Doing Something You Enjoy Starting your own home business means you get to choose what you work at and you can then do something you enjoy all day long. You can’t run a home business without doing some hard work but, when you are working at something you enjoy, it doesn’t seem like work. There are bound to be some routine tasks that aren’t particularly exciting but, even the odd boring chore, won’t get you down when you are your own boss. You can always look forward to the day your business has grown enough for you to take on an assistant and delegate the routine stuff. 4. Variety When you are a home business owner, you won’t be doing the same tasks day after day. As an employee you would have your own set tasks allocated to you by your manager, but being your own boss means you get to do all manner of different things and learn the new skills you might require as a first time business owner. 5. Being your own boss Being your own boss means you get to do what you like, keep all the profits you earn and take vacations as and when you please, but there is another intangible benefit that you will enjoy: just being your own boss will alter the way you feel about yourself.

Being your own boss will give you extra confidence in your abilities and your self-assurance will increase to the extent that other people will notice it and react towards you accordingly. When you make money online, be grateful for the fact that you live in this technological age and thank the Internet for your chance to start your own home business.

06. April 2012 · Comments Off on Using A Newsletter As A Distributor · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Did you know that a newsletter is a very powerful distributor marketing tool? You don’t even have to be a fantastic writer to create an attractive and promotional newsletter. A newsletter is a great way to increase your sales and build a customer data base for your home business as a distributor. Here are some tips to help you with using a newsletter as a distributor.

One thing that having a newsletter does is enables you to send email to customers that is not considered spam.

From your distributor web site, set up a small space on the opening page for visitors to sign up for a free newsletter. This will give you permission to send them newsletters and also provide you with their email. You can even require that they fill in their personal information such as address and real name when they sign up for the newsletter. Be certain to never ever sell this information or disclose it other parties that are not involved in your home business. The newsletter sign up is an effective way to collect customer information and visitor information. Select a theme for your newsletter. As a wellness and health distributor you should select a topic that is health or wellness related. Name the newsletter something that fits the theme of the products and the wellness niche. For example, if you market skin care products you could name your newsletter The Skin Zones. The topics in your newsletter could cover skin care and health supplements that increase the youthful appearance of your skin. Visitors to your site are already interested in your topics and often your products. The chances that they will sign up for the newsletter is greater if the newsletter title is something that is catchy, easy to remember and related to the health and wellness products of your website. When you create your newsletter, write a short article about a specific topic that relates to the theme of your newsletter. Consumers crave information and handy tips, suggestions or recent news about health and wellness topics are well received by your subscribers. In the margins of your newsletter, you can place product ads for items that you distribute. If you did The Skin Zones as your newsletter, you could do an article on foods that contribute to acne.

The side products could be acne products or other skin care products. Be certain to include direct links to the products so that subscribers can go to them easily from the email that you send to them. Ideally, you should have several small articles in your newsletter that cover the theme. If the newsletter is primarily ads, then people will not be as likely to remain loyal subscribers. People really enjoy useful tips that they can apply in their lives. If you can do one article that is news based, one that is tips and suggestions and another that is informative, you are likely to increase your readership and to keep subscribers a long time. The products on the side margins will sell themselves and increase your distribution automatically without creating a newsletter that is just a huge sales advertisement. Another advantage of a newsletter is that you can advertise because people have subscribed for the newsletter. If you obtain the physical address of your subscribers, you can send them a catalog for your products that you distribute. You can also send them coupons that they can use specifically for your website that has the products that you distribute. If you are not a writer, you can pick up articles from free article directories. Just make certain to agree to the terms of service and follow them from the free article directories.

06. April 2012 · Comments Off on Will Pay-Per-Play (PPP) Work? · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

We have all heard of pay-per-click (PPC) and have seen it rise to become the primary form of online advertising in the space of only a few years. Most webmasters carry PPC ads on their sites these days, be it Google or any of the other PPC providers such as Yahoo or Miva.

But how many people have heard of pay-per-play (PPP) and will it work? As the name suggests, rather than getting paid for each ad-click, webmasters will get paid for each ad-play. A play consists of a five second ad each time a page is loaded that has the PPP code installed. It is a sound based ad that will be based around brand advertising rather than trying to sell a particular product. If the user stays on the page they will not continue to get ads, it is the just the single five second ad, unless they refresh the page. The million dollar question though is, will PPP work? Sound can be really irritating for website visitors, especially when they are not expecting it. This in itself might deter some webmasters as it might scare their visitors away. On the other hand, it is only a five second ad and if enough websites adopt it, maybe it will become the norm and people will just get used to it. As a webmaster myself I can see an immediate opportunity to make some quick cash from PPP via traffic exchanges and in particular, auto traffic exchanges. Most traffic exchanges require a page view for between twenty and thirty seconds and we all know most surfers are simply trying to build up their surfing credits. If I put the code on a page explaining what PPP is, surfers will get an ad alongside an explanation and on an auto traffic exchange that page could easily get hundreds of views per day. Each time an ad plays, I am earning a commission. And there are plenty of traffic exchanges that allow sound, so I can’t imagine this will do anything but earn me some bucks.

However, I will still need to be convinced of the risk/reward of putting the PPP code on all my website pages.

I’d be really interested to see what other webmasters think about the risk/reward of PPP ads. The risk as I see it is that my visitors will be scared off. The reward is a commission for each ad played. While I intend to take the opportunity of earning some money from the traffic exchange concept, I am not yet ready to dive on in and put the code all over my site. And what about the advertisers? Most advertisers looking to promote a brand will be fairly large corporate type advertisers. They will only be attracted by PPP if it is widely adopted by webmasters. They are unlikely to experience the benefit if their ads are primarily being played in traffic exchange type environments. Corporate advertisers will want mainstream coverage. But they will only get mainstream coverage if webmasters are prepared to adopt the concept for the majority of their sites. We seem to have reached a classic catch 22 scenario. So are there any other considerations? The website that is currently signing up webmasters for the PPP launch on 1st February 2008 has an Alexa rating of 25000 but a Google page rank of 0. That means some serious marketing is going on behind this program. The website hasn’t been around for very long as borne out by their page rank but already they have enough traffic to put them in the top 25000 websites on the internet. Sure, a three tier affiliate program will help but nonetheless, there must be some serious money behind them. Further, they claim to be backed by a major search engine, as yet unnamed. In short, I am yet to be convinced by PPP and whether it will work over the longer term. However, on the basis that it might work, I’d like to be a part of it.

I’d also love to hear the views of other webmasters.

06. April 2012 · Comments Off on Starting A Small Home Business On A Budget · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Starting a small home business on a budget is extremely possible. You will be amazed at how quickly you can expand your budget and use your profits to grow your new home business. The key is to select a small home business that offers products that are consumable. This will ensure that you have a continual flow of repeat customers to keep your business operational and profitable. Here are some tips for starting a small home business on a budget. Select a small home business that can be based on a consumable product.

The wellness industry is rapidly growing as more and more consumers are paying attention to their health. You can market and sell a variety of health related products in the wellness industry that will benefit your customers and bring you repeat sales that last for many years. For example, skin care products are extremely popular. When a customer uses up the entire product, they will return to your small home business to order more. This ensures that you have repeat clients on a continual basis to keep your business profitable and growing. Choose a small home business that has no or very little start-up costs. There are many places on the Internet where you can become a distributor for a specific set of wellness related products with no start-up costs at all. This means that as you distribute the product and earn a residual income, you can put the profits back into the business to help it grow and expand rapidly. Before you know it a few sales a week will turn into a many sales per day while you grow and expand your distributorship. Some people select wellness products that are inexpensive or are offered at whole sale prices. This means that you can sell these products or provide a service to others without sinking a fortune in the start-up of the business. Each time that you make a sell or a client uses your service, set aside part of the money to re-invest in your small home business. For example, you can save half of your profit to purchase more products for your inventory.

Or you can use half of the profit to market and advertise your new small home business.

Using your profits to build and expand your business will enable you to stay within a budget and have the least amount of risk in your business. Another key factor to staying on a budget with a new small home business is to plan your expenses. Do you really need a new computer to operate your business? Do you really need a new outfit to attend a trade show or informational seminar? There are many times that new business owners feel that they absolutely have to have a certain item to be successful. Stop and think about your purchases and determine if you really must have the new item to operate the business. You can always upgrade your computer or buy that outfit in the future after your business has become stronger Learn the tax deductions that you are entitled with your small home business. For example, you may be able to take off a percentage of your mortgage, internet connection fees and even electricity. You should consult with a financial advisor to find out what types of things you need to save receipts for and enable you to take the highest tax deductions to save you money and help you operate the small home business on a budget.

A new internet gold rush has been taking hold with the emergence of social networking, blogging, podcasting and other web 2.0 experiments. Media companies and Internet giants have reacted promptly by acquiring many of the new players to take advantage of these new advertising vehicles and evolve their endangered models. Yet advertisers themselves have stayed on the sidelines to a great extent. Small businesses especially have reacted cautiously to web 2.0 marketing fearing its hype and its inherent risks and represent a very small portion of the x million blogs. It seems that there are several emerging trends that every small business should be aware of. We thought we would share these trends through examples of small businesses that have been the first to capitalize on web 2.0 and have reaped early benefits.

  • Trend #1: Establish a blog as your primary web presence. Customers value who they do business with sometimes as much as what they buy. Blogging provides you with a more personal environment where you can both promote your product and present a more personal view of your business. Blogging also allows you to initiate an on-going conversation with your customers and build a long term relationship. Blogging is especially important in professional services small businesses where the person is the product and where word of mouth and recommendations are the primary sales driver. Horsefeathers, a restaurant in North Conway, N. H., publishes a blog about food, wine, local events and restaurant news as a way to keep customers connected and loyal (http://www.horsefeathers.com/ ). Patti Thompson is the president of Way-Fil Jewelry, Inc. located in Tupelo, MS. She serves as the appraiser, designer and one of two bench jewelers.(http://www.diamonddivaonline.com/ ). She writes a combination of personal stories, stories about her store and appraisal posts (What is gold sodium thiomalate?). She also links her blog to her EBay store.
  • Trend #2: Take advantage of emerging hyper local blogs. With the number of blogs exploding (a blog is created every second!) and readership skyrocketing, the blogosphere is reaching a sufficient scale to address hyper local content. A similar phenomenon happened in the internet space when readership and websites reached a tipping point to be able to offer relevant content for very small customer segments such as a city and provide local search. This new trend in blogging makes local advertising for small businesses very relevant, for example restaurants, hotels, real estate brokers or accountants.
  • Cornerstone Wealth Advisors (http://www.cornerstone360.com) in Overland Park, KS created a blog about investing and other financial matters and use it as the jumping off point for several practice groups. Blogging Ohio (http://www.bloggingohio.com/ ), which is part of Weblogs (http://www.weblogsinc.com/ ), is a great example of this trend with posts that focus on specific towns in Ohio. Lake County, OH (http://www.lakecountyblog.com/default.asp?item=158547 ) has also started a local community blog and local sponsored links such as local restaurants, hotels or country clubs.
  • Trend #3: Use web 2.0 marketing to market to bloggers. Bloggers have become a growing and influential customer segment with strong economic power. As this customer segment reaches critical mass, some small businesses have understood the opportunity to target them and build marketing approaches that appeal to their tastes and preferences. Bloggersfuel is a great example of this focused marketing (http://www.bloggersfuel.com/blog/?page_id=2 ). Bruce Frcek has developed this blog to keep bloggers up to date on what is happening in the specialty coffee industry and with its online store Boca Java (www.bocajava.com) and to hear directly from bloggers on ideas about blogging and coffee. Daily Greencine (http://daily.greencine.com/ ) publishes a blog around independent and alternative cinema that gets 80 000 visitors each month and helps drive traffic to online rental and video on demand store GreenCine (www.greencine.com). The blog helped double the store’s revenues.
  • Trend #4: Leverage emerging web 2.0 advertising platforms. Web 2.0 start ups are positioning themselves as aggregators of advertising and providing new platforms to market small businesses. AdCandy (http://www.adcandy.com/default.asp ) allows consumers to develop advertising slogans and suggest product improvements for their favorite brands. Pro’tech’d (http://www.protechd.com/company/ ), a small company making iPod covers uses AdCandy to run a contest letting visitors create their ad campaign and slogan, thus helping raise awareness for its brand in its target customer segment. Zixxo (http://www.zixxo.com/cmn/Homepage.aspx ) allows small businesses to create and manage their own online coupons and syndicate them out to local consumers through partner websites and RSS feeds.
  • Trend #5: explore emerging audio and video marketing (podcasting and vloging).

The recent massive growth in these new formats triggered by the Apple IPOD and by new start ups such as You Tube will develop new advertising media that can be particularly appropriate for specific small businesses.

Chaz, a yoga instructor (http://yogamazing.com/ ), has a yoga studio in Louisville, KY and has been using podcasting on itunes for a series of instructional videos that promote his yoga techniques and his studio. Dave Seitter, (http://seminar.midwestconstructionlaw.com) a construction attorney located in Kansas City, Mo has created a monthly expert teleseminar and converted it to a podcast.

05. April 2012 · Comments Off on How 4 Key Elements to Your Web Site Can Multiply Your Profits! · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

John Navata The fact is, even if your web site is full of fabulous sales copy and photos that illustrate all the great features and benefits of your product or service, your potential customers still need to know: What do people who have actually purchased and used your product or service think about it? It’s simple: your readers know that YOU believe in your product, or you wouldn’t be selling it! But what do people with the same problem or need that they have say about your product?

Answering that question is one of the most fundamental tasks your web site needs to accomplish — and it’s as simple to do as it is important. By using testimonials — reviews and comments from your satisfied customers, in text, audio, or video format — on your web site, you not only answer the question, you also transform your sales pitch into a credible, unbiased recommendation for your product. 1) Overcome buyer skepticism with a glowing testimonial As I said before, adding testimonials is probably one of the easiest ways to improve your web site — but a good one can generate more selling power than some of the best salescopy out there! So why are testimonials so effective? Testimonials build trust: Whether your customers are raving about what your product has done for them or about the great service you gave, they are telling your visitors first and foremost that they had a positive experience with your products and company.

Testimonials aren’t «salesy»: Because testimonials aren’t written in your «voice,» they stand out in your copy as candid and unbiased accounts of how well your product works. Testimonials overcome skepticism: A good testimonial has the power to convince even your «tough sell» visitors that your product or service really made a difference in your customer’s life — and can help them, too. For example, let’s say that you’re selling a special lotion designed for dry skin. A visitor finds your web site — a person with dry skin who needs some relief — and reads all about the amazing moisturizing ingredients in your product and how wonderful it smells. Those are two good selling points — things that people would want to know before they decided to buy. But lots of products can make those promises — and many of them don’t work! So why should they purchase your product ahead of all the rest? Then, as they look over the page, a testimonial catches their eye from one of your customers, explaining that your lotion quickly healed a lifelong, agonizing skin condition — something no other product had ever managed to do! That’s the power of an effective testimonial: it can convince your reader that your product DOES work — and that you can be trusted to deliver on your promises. 2) How to choose the right kind of testimonial to turn your visitors into customers When you’re choosing testimonials, there are a few key ingredients to look for that make the difference between an ineffective testimonial — and one that sells. Here’s an example of a glowing, but ultimately ineffective testimonial: «I love this product! I can’t get enough! I’m so glad I bought your stuff and I’ll be back to get more, for sure!» What could be wrong with that? It sounds like you have a happy customer on your hands! But what does this testimonial really tell your visitors? Does it prove that the product works, or explain exactly how your customer benefited from using it? While the feedback is definitely positive, the testimonial does not provide enough detail to have any real impact on your visitors. Here’s an example of the kind of effective, benefits-driven testimonials that we include on our own web sites: «I used the methods you told me to use and for three days my phone’s been ringing! I sold over $3500 in goods and services in three days! It’s the first time in 5 months that anyone had really purchased anything…» Now that’s a great testimonial! But what makes it so powerful? Let’s break down the elements of an effective testimonial in more detail… A good testimonial is filled with benefits: A comment like, «This product is great!» is nice for you to hear, but it doesn’t tell visitors what your product can actually do for them.

You want the benefits of what you offer to be front and center in every testimonial: «This product doubled our profits in a month!» or «This product made the pain in my back disappear completely — and did it fast!» or «We’ve never seen any product that could get the rust off our car without damaging the paint — until now.» A good testimonial substantiates your claims: If you say your product can do something, your testimonials should back up your promises — complete with actual facts and figures. How much money did your customers save by using your product? How much time did they save by using your service? How did it solve their problems or improve their lives? A good testimonial is from someone your audience can relate to: You want your visitors to see that your product helped someone just like them, seeking the solution to the same problem your visitors have. Make sure your testimonials come from someone with whom your target market can identify. If you sell primarily to seniors, for example, ask your customers if you can include their age along with the testimonial. If you are selling to moms with children, ask if you can mention how many kids they have — or include a photo of their family! A good testimonial is credible: Accompany each testimonial with the first name, last name, and hometown of each testimonial-giver to show that your endorsements come from real people. Always try to include a photo as well. And if you can, take it to the next level by including audio or video testimonials for maximum effect! Do anything you can to help your visitors connect with your testimonial-givers on a personal level. A good testimonial endorses the key benefits of your product: Your testimonials should emphasize the key benefits of your product. It’s fun to hear that your super-duper floor cleaner smells nice or that the bottle doesn’t drip — both things that matter to people who would consider using your product in their homes — but have you established that it cleans their floors well? A good testimonial is comparative: Did your customers try another product that didn’t work before they found yours? You want your visitors to know what your product can do that other products can’t. Choose testimonials that set your product apart from your competition! Now that you know what you’re looking for in a testimonial, how do you actually gather the reviews you need from your customers? 3) The secrets to getting great testimonials — even if you haven’t sold a thing yet! If your customers have given you positive feedback on your product already, then you may already have some great testimonials to add to your site.

However, if your customer response is a little scarce — or if you’re just starting out — getting testimonials from your buyers might take a little more effort. So how do you collect the testimonials you need — and keep them coming as you grow your business? One easy way to collect testimonials is to include a link on your site with a form that allows your customers to give you their vote of confidence: «Tell us how this product changed your life!» or «Click here to let us know what you think!» Put this link next to some testimonials that you’ve already gathered to give customers an example of the kind of feedback you’re looking for. A more effective method is to create an autoresponder that contacts your buyers after they’ve purchased your product — even a month later — to ask how they’re enjoying the product, as well as giving them a chance to offer feedback on their experience with your business. And, of course, any time you receive a great letter or e-mail from a customer, ask them if you can use their comments on your web site to recommend your product to others. If they were happy enough to let you know, they’re bound to want to spread the word. If you haven’t yet begun selling your product and have no feedback yet, offer your product or service for free to a select group of
customers in exchange for their thoughts on the product or some details on their experience with your site. The impact that testimonial will have on your bottom line will be well worth the initial expense! As soon as your online business is up and running, make a point of giving every one of your customers a chance to share their experiences with your product or service.

Ask for feedback — good and bad — in your autoresponders, your newsletters, and other spots on your web site.

4) Strategies for using your testimonials as effectively as possible Once you’ve got some testimonials to share with your visitors, you need to make sure that you’re putting them to the best possible use on your site. Always make sure that you… Include your best testimonials front and center on your homepage, like in your sidebars, or even above your headline. Place some testimonials right in the middle of your homepage salescopy to keep your readers focused on your credibility as you outline the features and benefits of your product. Set up a whole page dedicated to your glowing testimonials, as well as including snippets of their comments throughout your site. Be sure to put a link to your testimonial page next to each of those snippets! Include testimonials on each and every page of your web site. No matter where your visitors click, you want them to find a positive customer review of your product or service. Now let’s look at a few mistakes to avoid when using testimonials on your web site… Don’t edit your testimonials to exclude a comment or add information you want to hear! If you can’t post a comment «as is» and feel comfortable with it, it shouldn’t go up. If your testimonials are in your voice and all sound the same, no one is going to trust that they are legitimate.Never use a customer testimonial without permission. Never, ever invent testimonials! This is fraud, plain and simple, and lying never results in a positive impact on your business.

05. April 2012 · Comments Off on Site Promotion And The Tattoo Man · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

There are so many ways you can market a product.

Some of the more unique approaches to traditional advertising came in the form of sandwich board signs and willing men and women who would stand on busy corners and attempt to capture the attention of those passing by.

Magnetic signs were (and still are) used to place a business logo on the side of a vehicle. Some individuals have sold a portion of the space on their head for a tattoo with the promise to leave their head clean-shaven for a year while sporting a tattoo with the business logo. Many businesses have invested in a costumed mascot that will stand outside their businesses and wave to those passing by. All in all creative marketing has been big business and extremely diverse. What about marketing in the 21st century and online? Is that different? If so, how is it different? Online marketing is no less creative than brick and mortar counterparts. Some businesses might solicit customer pictures that include the customer using the product. There might be a contest with a video advertisement being developed with the product as the focal point to the advertisement. The goal is to inject your sales website with a variety of site promotion portals. For instance, if you are announcing a contest on a forum or blog create a link that takes the visitor to the contest page with tastefully placed links to the primary site for customer convenience. Make sure that the winning entries are found only on your primary website. Site promotion isn’t just a strategy of backlinks, Pay Per Click (PPC) and banner advertising. No, it is about a strategy that uses all three skillfully and still finds new ways to create a buzz that may act independently or interdependently of standard Internet advertising. This must act as a separate course of action from Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which should always take precedent over any other strategy you may consider in site promotion. Some businesses might even use products or individual purchases as a way to devise a contest that may further their goals in site promotion.

Imagine a satisfied customer receiving either an email or a notice in their packing box that invites them to return to your website to register for a shopping spree. Make this type of contest exclusive to actual customers when possible. You should already have the customer’s information for list building purposes, but this gives them a positive ‘extra’ experience that can increase what may be a tentative brand loyalty in many first purchase scenarios. You can also create a secondary contest for site visitors with no obligation to purchase. This can aid in list building because registration should be mandatory with a tastefully produced email-marketing plan to follow. This too should provide prospects with a shopping spree or other desired item (i.e. mp3 player, electronic game, etc). Site promotion is an important element in the health and well being of your ecommerce website. By all means develop the primary aspects of site promotion first and then feel free to let your creativity take your site to a whole new place.

05. April 2012 · Comments Off on The Icing On The Cake: Binding Covers · Categories: Reasons To Bless The Internet

Choosing an attractive binding cover is the one of the most important steps in creating impressive bound presentations.

Such presentations can be made for projects done by large corporations, small businesses, home offices, government agencies, schools, churches, and many other establishments. Before you get to the point of deciding on the right binding cover for your presentation, you must first consider several other factors in the binding process. Let’s start at the beginning. First, you must choose what information you want to present and how you want to say it. Typeface, graphics and other visuals should all be considered when putting together any kind of presentation. Once you know what is going into the booklet, you must decide what type of paper you want to use. It can be flimsy or rigid, purple or green. Choose carefully because looks mean everything in these circumstances. You may also want to laminate the pages. This creates a more durable, impressive looking booklet. Colors are brighter and pages are going to stay fresh-looking and clean for a much longer time than paper alone. Once you have your pages printed, organized and stacked, it is time to choose what type of binding style you want to use to finish your reports. There are several options when it comes to binding your reports and presentations:  Plastic Comb Binding: Comb bindings utilize 19 plastic rings that insert into corresponding rectangular holes on the edge of your bound document.  Spiral Coil Binding: Coil bindings consist of a continuous coil that spirals through the holes in the paper. This type of binding is plastic or and is available in more than sixty different colors.  Twin Loop Wire Binding: Also called double loop wire or wire-o, twin loop wire is made from a single piece of wire formed into a double loop.

These wires are shipped in a C shape and are closed into a round shape using a twin loop wire closer.  Velobind: Sometimes called strip binding, Velobind uses a thin plastic binding strip that is applied to the edge of the document. Velobind can be applied using a hot knife Velobind system that rivets the strips in place or using recloseable Velobind strips that snap into place.

Documents bound with plastic comb binding, twin loop wire and spiral coil binding can all open flat. Wire bound and coil bound books can also be folded back, so the front page meets the back page. This is great for convenience and durability. After you have selected the right binding style for your document it is finally time to choose your binding cover. The first step in choosing a binding style is to select the color of cover that you are looking for. Binding covers are available in almost every color that you can imagine including black, blue, green, red, light gray, dark gray, ivory, white, purple, brown and more. It is important to choose the right color of cover that corresponds with the color scheme of your company or the color of your binding element. After you have selected the right color of binding cover it is then important to select the right material for your covers. Binding covers are available in different types of paper, clear plastic, embossed poly, vinyl and more. Certain covers are better for certain applications. For instance, plastic covers are moisture resistant and do not tear. However, paper covers provide a more traditional look and feel. It is important to consider these factors when choosing a binding cover. Finally, it is important to choose the right size of binding cover for your application. The most common sizes of binding covers are 8.5″ x 11″ and 8.75″ x 11.25″ with round corners. However, binding covers are also available in a number of other sizes including 9″ x 11″ for reports with index tabs, 8.

5″ x 14″ for legal sized documents and 11″ x 17″ for large format documents.

From the cover to the binding supplies, you should be able to obtain everything you need from one place. This helps to ensure compatibility between products, as well as making it more convenient to purchase. If you choose, you can even get your hands on the actual machines that bind and laminate materials. This allows you to do it all completely on your own time and budget. The binding cover is truly the icing on the cake when it comes to booklets. It is both the first and last thing a person will see when using a booklet. When creating such materials, keep in mind the importance of first impressions. A professional and polished booklet can take you a long way, regardless of the setting.

Put a little extra time into creating an impressive presentation and you’ll surely wow your audiences.
