Michael Hemmins asked:


an online business is not as difficult, or expensive as you would perhaps think. You can use the same resources that most (if not all) top Internet Marketers use to promote their businesses online, and best of all, they’re all free!

Resource #1 - Wordpress:

Wordpress started life as a blogging platform, but has since developed into one of, if not the best Content Management Systems (CMS) there is. Wordpress is a collaboration of hundreds of programmers worldwide, with no one person actually owning it, which is why it’s so good. However many internet marketers use it because it fully complies with what’s known as Web 2.0, which in other words is the ability to interact with your visitors in such things as leaving comments, or participating in polls etc…

Wordpress can easily be enhanced by plug-ins, which can add the functionality of a professional looking contact form, advertising manager, search engine optimization program, subscription form and much, much more, with most simply requiring you to fill in a few boxes with your website information, then click OK, and the plug-in does everything it needs to automatically. And, as I said previously, by using Wordpress’ own hosting, it’s free.

Better still, if you’ve ever had your own website before and decided it needed freshening up, or you simply had enough of it, then you’ll remember how arduous it could be to change it all. Not a problem with Wordpress as you just pick a new theme and change your entire web site automatically!

Resource #2 - Forum Posting:

For the major search engines to rank your website high, you need to get one-way backward links to your website. One of the best and quickest ways is to participate in forums related to your web site topic. Try to find quality forums to post your questions or comments. Look for sites with a minimum Pagerank of 3 if possible. So-called authority sites with a Google Pagerank of 5 plus are the forum sites to go for if you can. Any backlinks from these sites will add more weight!

Resource #3 - Article Writing:

Even better than forum posting is article writing. You see the search engines don’t like stale, old content. What they do want, is high quality, up-to-date information that is highly relevant to a searcher’s query. The more relevant content a search engine provides, the more people will use it and the more advertising revenue the search engine can generate - and you thought you were simply writing an article!

If you are able to author a document that is relevant to your chosen topic, and then publish the document with a reputable article directory, the chances are that not only will it rank in search engine results way ahead of your own website, but actually persuade the reader to click on your resource box to visit your website or sign-up for your newsletter. Not forgetting that’s on top of building good links back to your web site. In most cases, article writing is totally free and is one of the best ways to market any online business.

Even if you do feel that you need to use paid for marketing such as Pay Per Click, you’re still going to need to have a website that conforms to (specifically) Google’s requirements, and whether it’s a one page site or a multi-page site, published articles not only convince Google that you have read the rules so to speak, but add authority to your website. Bottom line - your PPC costs will be lower and you may well rank higher than your competition for less cost.

Adam Price asked:


ness owners are in some form of business network or even multiple business networking hubs both locally and online. However the one problem at the forefront of many of these network hubs is they don’t actively stimulate daily participation, nor is there any kind of reward associated to referring new members to do business with, which is what referral network are all about right?

The main thing with a lot of online networking programs (while they can be extremely effective, if your strategy is right) is firstly:

1. They are somewhat difficult and rather confusing to setup and find your way around.

2. They aren’t all that effective for the untrained or those left to their own devices to set them up and utilize them. I.e. they lack backup step-by-step support on “how” to get the most out of them.

3. A lot of people are using them for multi-level marketing recruitment, which causes a lot of business owners to steer clear of them.

4. To get the true power of the service you need to upgrade your service level, where you’re supposed to get more exposure and tools to use for your business networking communications, and sometimes even then you don’t get the most out of it.

5. There is no real money to be made by joining their program that would amount to any real income from affiliate commissions.

6. They don’t seem to grow under their own steam, meaning that new online business members don’t approach you to learn more about your business, because they lack “Viral” mechanisms to help you grow your business.

All the above and much more, really stunts your business growth from online business network sources. If you’re lucky enough to know how to really work these online hubs however, you’re going to make some very good contacts that will be extremely valuable to your business over the long term.

The above that I’ve just explained are how a typical online network for business works. Now I’m going to cover how to take the above and re-work them so you have the advantage in using such business networks online.

I’ve found that there are online business marketing programs that you can take part in and will steadily feed leads to your business once you set them up, even if you don’t visit such networking hubs on a daily basis.

Some of these hubs also have a very simple, yet extremely powerful interface for managing your business network and the contacts you come in touch with over time.

I’ve found that while some “paid for” online business network services only costs from $10 to $50’s per month to be part of, you can very quickly get your membership costs for free. And to take this a step further, the affiliate referral programs some of them offer, allows you an additional layer of income on top of building your existing business.

They really acknowledge how important it is to integrate other business networks and they basically engulf all the other networks out there and include them as an opportunity to join them from within their own circle of reference, which is very powerful for your research of such networking hubs to be part of.

Everybody in business refers the services of those people they have used, gained confidence in and trust. Therefore, being able to formalize this network and monetize from many different angles makes online networking a beautiful multi-dimensional profit strategy for any new, or mature business.

It’s truly worth checking out, do a search within any popular online search engine on the term “X online networking” and you’ll find many different online networking hubs waiting for you to investigate.

I hope the outlines above have armed you with some extra knowledge on what to look for and what to steer clear of in your quest to expanding your business online.

Hi, and welcome back.

My name is George Collins and I know that there are a lot of people out there that are looking for ways to really get more people to look at their site. So I wrote some articles and I’m going to share them with you. I know they will give you some ideas. So let’s get started.

Target Market Online With Your Own Home Based Business

When you have your own home based business and you learn how to target market online properly, you have the right sales process to close them to a sale of the product that you are selling, you can virtually write whatever amount of money you want. You want more money that month, you are already making ten thousand, you want to make more money, increase your traffic, get your sales process down pat you can increase your traffic. And like I said before, if you know in your sales process that one out of every twenty opt-ins converts to a sale, you want to make more money and you are already making ten thousand a month, you just increase the amount of opt-ins. Increase the marketing, increase the amount of opt-ins and you have more sales.

So that is real control of your life. When you can market online you know you can go out anytime you want no matter what happens, no matter if a company goes down, because you always hear of network marketing companies going down, nothing is forever. If the company goes down you are self sufficient, you can be back next week once you find another product to market, an affiliate product, another network marketing company, another cash program, you can go in there and make money from day one. If you are wondering why you see all the top earners, the heavy hitters, if a company goes down they go to another program and they are making money instantly, a decent income the first month, the first week. That is because they have the process down pat.

I am a student of marketing. I never will know everything, I know a lot, I can do very well, but I am always learning. A person that thinks that they know everything will never progress beyond where they are at right now. They think they know everything, that is it. But when you have control of your life and you know how to market, it feels good. You know what you are doing. Now, here is something to think about. In the world people say you should go to college, and I am not against education, I believe in it, everybody should have an education.

The people in the world routinely say you should go and get a college education, graduate and get a good secure job, and I already described or explained about what I think about a job. This is just my opinion. But people routinely come into this industry and expect to make a lot of money and never learn a single thing. And some of it is their fault and some of it is not. Some of it is in the marketing of companies or people or distributors that say come in, it is easy, you will make a thousand dollars a day from day one, right now. Today you will make a thousand dollars. I will show you how you will make three thousand in the next fifteen days.

That right there, brands people to say that it is easy, we have a movie that will do all the selling for you, and the system will do all the selling for you, you do not have to do a single thing, you do not have to talk to a single person, all you have to do is get the system and do nothing, you pay for it and you are going to make money. That is the message that some people give out. And then they have your money and then you do not make any money. And then you sit there saying this is a scam. Things do not work without people. You still have to get people in the system in order for the system to convert them.

But my system will teach you on the left side of the equation how to get targeted traffic to you site. They might have solved the problem with a targeted sales page and a targeted landing page, but they never showed you how to get targeted traffic. Or they told you to do one thing or another and that does not work and is based on theory, because they only do it themselves and know how to do it, or is general, or they are not sharing the truth in what they actually do. So it is sad, but that happens, people come into this industry expecting to make money and not learn anything.

Hi, and welcome back.

My name is George Collins and I know that there are a lot of people out there that are looking for ways to really get more people to look at their site. So I wrote some articles and I’m going to share it with you, and it will give you some ideas. So let’s get started.

Help Me Market Online – How Do I Market Online

Competition forces people to bring out the best in themselves because they always have to come up with something better. We probably would not have the internet now, we probably would not have the advances that we have, probably would not have audio online. So competition does bring out the best in people. We use to use another audio company online, that was the first audio company that we used to put audio on a website.

And back then we thought that they were the only ones and they charged us about thirty dollars a month. There were quite a few things that we wanted that they did not offer and one was to record conference calls. Well, one day we just got tired of not being able to do that because we would want to go on and listen to the conference calls of other people and we would want to record it so that we could listen to it over and over again, so we could listen to everything and memorize the information. We do listen to the information over and over again and also read information over and over again, usually two, three or four times. Every time you go over information you will pick up something new that you did not pick up the first time around when you listened to the information or read it.

The thing is we found a better company by doing a search on Google, and guess what, they had not only the features that we wanted but they had more. We were impressed with them, not only that, but they were ten dollars less. So we got our membership with that audio site and cancelled the other one and never looked back. That is competition. They made a better product, we chose to use it. They distinguished themselves in that market place, in that niche. Same thing when you are in a program opportunity, a product that you are selling and you are in competition with other people selling the same product, whether it is pay per click, or you are sending out to another person’s list, or press releases, articles or any other marketing method that you are using.

Going back to pay per click, all you have to do is set yourself apart, make yours a better ad, change your ad periodically. Change your lead capture page and landing page that your ad goes to. When you are doing pay per click, and you pay for each click, it is not like a classified ad in a magazine or an article in a newspaper where it is just there and you only pay a one time fee, you pay per click. Your competition, other people’s ads in the same keywords that you are marketing under, will click on your ad just to see what you are doing. A lot of times you will actually end up signing up your competition, they look and they like your information, they end up signing up with you. These are people that you are competing with under the keywords of other opportunity programs that you are in. But a lot of times you will sign them up.

You have to make yourself different, it is like in the coffee business, each one is different. Computers, cars, they are all different, they are all in the same market place and yet it does not mean that the car market is saturated, it just means that you have to make a different product. Why is yours better, why should I go with you, why should I use your product. If you are among other competition, it is just a myth that there is saturation, if you are among other competition you have to make yourself better, have a better ad, make a better landing page or sales page, something different. Get some new graphics, I am sure you have some graphics and it is not pulling as good a couple of months later, get some new graphics, change your headline, change your landing page around, get some new news.

The internet is made up to give people news or information, the latest information. That is why Google, for instance, or search engines love sites and rank them higher for the frequency of content that is added to the site. The spiders come back to crawl the site more often and you get better ranking to the frequency of the content added to the site. It also gives value to the sites that have other sites linking to them, because it thinks that they are important because a lot of other people are looking at them. This is how the internet works, and that is the reason for updating your site. We are always updating different things that we do with our company, things are always changing. If you were with us from the beginning you would notice that things were changing every couple of weeks or every week depending on the time frame.

Target Marketing Online For Moms Working At Home

Hi, and welcome back to my site.

My name is George Collins and I want to give you some information that will provide you with a clear understanding of exactly what you need to do to promote your business online. So let’s get started.

So on to the next section in target marketing. So you have your prospect, you targeted them, they click into your ad, they are on your landing page or your lead capture page. Next what do people do, they try to target too many people at one time. They try to target and here let us just say somebody is trying to target mlm, 1 ups 2 ups, cash programs, courses, you name it, anything and everything that has to do with this industry all on one lead capture page. I am not saying you will not get any opt-ins, I am not saying that. But how do we set that up. It needs a better ad.

If you are talking an ad like tired of failing because you do not know how to market in the ad, and the person clicks on your ad, what are they thinking, they are looking for a solution, more information about the ad on your landing page. And the people go off and talk about different things on the landing page. When I come to a landing page I am looking for you to talk more about why I am failing in marketing and what is my solution, what do I have to do. Well, the solution is I am going to share this niche with you, but you need to put your name and email address in here.

You want to give enough information where you are giving them more than what you have in that little tiny ad, but not enough to where you share the whole table of food. You want them to opt-in if they are interested, they need a solution to their problem, it this problem fits them, they need to opt-in so they can get more information to solve their problem. And then what is next, you send them a thank you page or a sales page of the product that you are selling and you are going to follow up with them with targeted auto responder series, again, talking more about the problem that they have and the solution.

Now, are you going to share more information with them in the auto responder series, yes. I mean you have to teach them something, that is the idea to provide some quality content. Are you going to give away the entire business, no. The solution, every auto responder series, the solution after that page always comes back to the product that you are selling. In my company we have a product that teaches you how to market from a marketing videos to all our ebook selections. We also have ebooks that share ways with you on how to make more money online. We also have ebooks that will help you in self improvement from procrastination to other things.

But the solution to this person’s problem is always going to come back to your product. Let’s face it, this whole process of hitting your target market, getting them to come to your page, getting them to op-in in your auto responder series and following up is to sell them on your product. I am going to say that this is a sales industry, this is what this is, sales. It can be a sales process, but you can also look at it as providing a solution for people that are having problems. They choose to buy it, I just provide the solution and the product, and that is how it goes.

This same thing applies to everything you do online. If you are going to be an affiliate marketer online, same thing, if you are trying to sell something that is going to cure a particular disease, you are not going to go out and sell it to the whole world if they do not have that particular disease, one does not have anything to do with the other. So you have to find the keywords of the people that have that particular disease, who are looking for that particular keyword to solve their problem.

And the beautiful thing is when people have an agitation, they are coming and looking, whether they are looking online in the search engines, they are on websites and you have you ads out there on the websites, however you market online, however you are marketing off line, in newspapers, magazines, billboards, however else you market off line. When people see the ad, when they come looking for the solution after looking up something, they are looking in a magazine for their particular problems and they see your ad or they are looking online, searching under their problem, they are all coming for a solution.

Thanks for you time. I hope this information will assist you in building your business. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime at georgecollins.com.

Michael Goudelock asked:


If you are really serious about internet marketing, there is a technique that can get you a top spot in a “sponsored” search results in just a matter of a few minutes! This technique is called pay-per-click advertising. Believe me any amount of money that you will spend for pay-per-click is well worth it.

Here are the reasons why PPC or pay-per-click is worth your money’s value. First, PPC ads appear immediately resulting in more traffic to your site. There is no need for your site to be indexed by any search engine, traffic just happens to go to your site because of PPC.

Another great thing with PPC is you don’t need to pay for any other fees except for the results. And no matter how many times your ad appears on somebody’s website, you only get to pay when someone clicks on your ads. If you observe and look closely at the results, you should be able to find out how well each of your ads is doing. This can also be your basis to continue that ad or not.

This unique internet marketing tool is so wonderful that you can run multiple ads all at the same time. You can even split test different ads, so that you can determine easily which ones work well which ones don’t. This way you can ditch the not-so-profitable ads. In addition, you can also try testing your keywords and use the very best of these to boost your site’s ranking in the search results.

Truth is, you can use the pay-per-click technique to check out everything from your products, price points as well as your ads and sales copy. These are excellent factors to make your ads more appealing to your target market.

And if you can do it properly, you will discover that PPC advertising can also become very affordable. Truth is by learning to do it right, you can even make profit while you are in the process of boosting your site’s traffic as well as visibility. A great deal indeed!

To really make sure that your target market can find your website, all you need is a combination of PPC and SEO. Now that’s what you call an effective internet marketing.

There is no other online technique or strategy that can offer you as much scope as pay-per-click. With PPC, you can improve your website’s search engine ranking and attract more traffic to your website dramatically without spending so much money.

There are so many techniques to do some great internet marketing online. And if you can really get those especially PPC to work right, you really get a competitive advantage. The only thing is some of these online strategies or techniques can disappear overnight. These may work magic for you but can disappear right before your very eyes. So it would also be to your advantage if you continue to look for other great internet marketing online advertising aside from PPC.

Hi, and welcome back.

My name is George Collins and I know that there are a lot of people out there that are looking for ways to really get more people to look at their site. So I wrote some articles and I’m going to share it with you, and it will give you some ideas. So let’s get started.

Where Do I Get Help, How Do I Market Online

When you find the top person to teach you they are usually on the next topic of teaching you before you have even grasped that first topic. But just hang in there and do not expect to come into this industry and become an overnight success without knowing anything. I guarantee you that any top earner you interview or ask, did they just automatically come in one day and start making thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars, I guarantee not. I guarantee if you ask them if they bought any courses that were worthless, they will say yes. Have you found the cream of the crop in the industry that you are in now in order to learn what you know to market, most will say yes. You ask them did it take you months or years to learn what you did to get to where you are. Did it take you six months or a year to make ten thousand dollars, did you make it in two months. Some will say two months, some will say ten months. Everyone of us is different.

That is the unique thing about us as humans is that we were all created different, we are all unique, we all learn at different paces, we all learn differently. Some of us love to read and can read and learn just fine. Others need to look at something visually just to understand it. We all learn different ways and different paces. Look at how you learn, if you learn a little bit slower, you learn a different method, try to find that method of learning from your mentor to teach you that and get it. Do not rush things, I know some people, whether you are trying to do affiliate marketing or you are just starting your home based business, some people are under pressure because of debts, or loss of a job or other life problems.

It just does not happen overnight. If you expect that, than you are really just setting yourself up for failure and when it does not happen you get all upset and think this stuff does not work, when you actually never give it enough time. Or if you did not do any marketing you might not have hung around long enough to see the fruits of your labor. When we first started network marketing and when we found the cream of the crop, he said go recruit from within the industry, and we said how do you do this. He said you need to call other people in the industry. So we started calling people, we did not know much about the internet, but we did call to generate the traffic, it is part of the formula, it is targeted traffic because we are recruiting from the industry which is the target market, we are just using the telephone to generate the traffic.

We would do like a hundred to two hundred calls a day, it would take us about two and a half hours or so. It took us a little longer in the beginning but you get better at what you do over time. Contrary to what people said about using this method, they would sponsor one person after calling a hundred people, we did not sponsor one single person until after many hundreds of calls. When we first started it was not even a hundred calls a day, it was more like fifty or less until we were use to using the phone that much. You have to work up to calling that many people in one day. So it took us many weeks and many hundreds of calls to sponsor one person.

If you try to gauge yourself on what other people are doing, like sign up one person for every hundred calls, that may work for them but do not think it is going to work for you. Maybe they have been doing it for a long time and they mastered that skill. You may have a long way to go before you can be as competent as they are and perfect that technique. We did not have that when we first started. It took us weeks to even get close to that. If we just listened to what they said and what they did and we did twenty calls the first day and say we got to a hundred calls my fourth or fifth day, we called a hundred people by that time combined and did not sponsor one person.

If we just listened to that, we would have stopped at that point. But we knew that they had been doing the calls for quite a while, they know exactly what they are doing, they put their time in already, just like we are doing now to perfect this and to become a master at what we were doing. And soon after we made that first sale, after hundreds and hundreds of phone calls, we soon mastered it where we were recruiting one person out of every hundred or two hundred calls, and because of the voice message that we left we would sponsor one person every two or three days from the voice messages that we had left.

You have to perfect all aspects of the techniques that you going to be using. After you become a master at one of the techniques, then you can go on to teach any of the people that you work with. You can tell people that they cannot use the method and expect to get the results that a person who mastered that technique is getting, it just will not happen. You cannot start cold and make two hundred calls a day and sign up two people like someone who has been at it for a year or so. So that is just an example on branding.

Affiliate marketers are always looking for that ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow. Sometimes they think that they just have to join and some magic formula will make them successful. But, of course, it is a bit more complicated than that

Winning at affiliate marketing is not really that difficult. It simply comes down to good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work, dedication and commitment. If you stick to the tried-and-tested methods that have worked for many years and still continue to work well in the online affiliate marketing world of today - you will win!

With the top three marketing tips given here, you will be in a very good position to increase your sales and be successful in the amazingly profitable sphere of today’s affiliate marketing programs online.

So - what are these three Tips For Affiliate Marketers’ Online Success?

1. Having unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not just throw them all in ‘en masse’ to save a little money on web hosting.

It is desirable to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more. Actually, having said that, there are quite a few web hosting companies that will allow you to host Unlimited Domains on your account - so hosting charges should not be a problem if you go down that road.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial appreciation on what the products can do for those who purchase them.

Try to include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure, however, that these customers are willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles displaying the uses of the product and include them on the website as additional pages. Try to make the pages attractive and compelling. Also, don’t forget to include a few requests for them to act on the information.

Each headline should attract the readers and encourage them to try and discover more, possibly even to contact you. Draw attention to your product’s special points. This will help your readers to learn what your page is about and will possibly make them want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible, locate them at the very top of your page so they simply cannot be missed.

Try to create personal-type auto responder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign-up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospective client.

Only one of two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: a) a closed sale or b) the prospect leaving the web page never to return again.

By placing useful information into their in-boxes at certain specified periods, you will later remind them of the product they were interested in and may find out that the sale is soon closed. Do make sure that the content of your messages is directed toward specific reasons for buying the product. Never ever make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points showing how your product can make life easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid having the word “free” in there because some of the earlier spam filters dump those kind of contents straight into the junk so no-one even gets the chance to read them beforehand.

Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing out on something big if they do not take advantage of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are promoting, they will be among those who move on and never come again.

Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that are focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always try to remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or subscribe to your services. If you can generate as many as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, this means that you can make 10 sales, based on the average statistics.

The methods defined above are not really difficult at all to do, if you think about it. It just involves a small amount of time and a definite plan of action on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end up doing something that not every affiliate marketer can do and that is, maintaining a really good source of income and being successful in this business.

Besides, when you become successful, think of those regular massive pay-checks you will be receiving !!

John Baril asked:


Many people worldwide are earning great incomes through internet affiliate marketing programs. Why not be one of them, as it is very easy to start your own affiliate marketing online business. To get properly set up as an affiliate marketer, you will need to do the things outlined in this article.

1. Firstly, you will need to pick a target market and a niche within that market that you want to specialize in.

It is a much better idea to identify a niche market as a first step before deciding on a product to sell, because your first priority is to discover a niche market that is popular and dynamic enough for you to make money out of. Also, it will be much easier to find some good products once you have chosen your niche as it will help you to concentrate and narrow down the huge choice of products. In that way, it is much more likely that you will uncover a great product for your market.

I suggest that you should try to work in a niche market which you are deeply interested in, or where you have some expertise

2. Now you have found your niche, the search for the best products to sell within that particular market can begin. Make use of online directories such as CJ.com or AssociatePrograms.com in order to seek out products to sell in your chosen market.

Select a handful of products that you like and then choose which one of these would be the better product to market. I recommend that you actually purchase the product so that you can try it out and learn all about it.

3. The next step is to write a series of promotional messages about the product, subscribe to an autoresponder service and plug the messages into it. It will help you to write your newsletters if you look at the promotional material that the affiliate merchant gives you. You could also request more information by contacting the merchant.

The easiest way to write your copy is to describe the detailed product information you received from the affiliate merchant and show how it will benefit your readers. If the affiliate merchant has some pre-written messages, you could simply load them straight into your autoresponder or edit and rewrite them so that they suit your own campaign requirements. If you buy the product as I recommended earlier, you will be able to write about it from the customer’s point of view as someone who has the experience of using it.

4. The most successful affiliate marketing online business campaigns do not send prospects straight to the affiliate sales page. Prospects are first directed to a lead capture page. After prospects have gone through your lead capture page and signed up to your newsletter you can send them to your affiliate sales page. They will now begin to receive your newsletter and in each newsletter you can gently present them with your offer while at the same time offering them a lot of useful and interesting information to maintain their interest in receiving messages from you.

Remember that people will typically not buy a product the first time that they see it. You will need to warm them up to the benefits of the product before you can expect them to purchase. That is why it is so important that you get them to agree to give your their email address. If they give you their permission to contact them you will be able to send them several posts about the product over a period of time. It may take several posts to generate a sale, but the fact is that repeated messages work. In many cases they lead to a higher percentage of sales conversions.

5. Now you need to set up a website and place your landing pages and squeeze pages on it. You can start a blog to post your sales page and this will act as a free alternative to a website.

6. Steps 1-5 were really the preliminary set up stage. The sixth step is the one you should spend most of your time on. Step six involves driving traffic to your lead capture page. In order to market your product effectively you will need to generate traffic. To do that you’ll want to learn a little bit about the various forms of traffic generation such as article marketing, pay per click, blogging, advertising on ezines, press releases, traffic exchanges, and so on.

It is probably a good idea to concentrate on one form of traffic generation at a time until you are able to generate a large flow of prospects with it. Following the six steps I have briefly outlined is the best way to start an affiliate marketing online business if you want to succeed.

It never fails. Find a good thing that everyone can benefit from and watch some people go out of their way to ruin it. SEO Marketing is one of those things.

Since the majority of website traffic comes from places like The Google and Yahoo, it was only a matter of time before the people who dwell in moral twilight figured out some techniques to cheat their way to a better ranking for their website The problem is these people lose track of the real objective. Wendy Boswell at About.com writes, “Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted solution to a long-term problem.”

Yes blackhatters get a quick boost in site ranking and more than likely make a fast buck (their goal anyway) but over the long term they run the risk of being banned by the very search engines that could really grow their business into a traffic generating, money making dynamo that last for years.

Want to play Russian roulette with the search engines? Try these techniques:

1. Link Farming

You have probably seen those sites with a directory page that contains hundreds of links. The trouble is they have no relation to the website theme. Putting up links about mortgage loans, acne, the history of wastebaskets etc when your site is about the quality of fishing in Great Falls Montana would be an example of link farming. There was a time when the search engines were okay with this but as is usually the case, people went overboard with it.

Make sure the links on your directory page relate directly or indirectly to the content on your website. In fact save yourself the time and effort by focusing on getting one way links to your site. A couple of quality one way links are worth way more than thousands of links unrelated to your niche.

2. The Sybil Attack

One of the most famous TV movies of all time is Sybil: The Girl with 16 Different Personalities starring Sally Field. This is the blackhat foundation for setting up mirror sites.

By creating multiple web sites with the exact same content but different domain addresses, blackhatters are able to trick the search engines into ranking their main website higher. Sybil attacks can also turn quite nasty and take control of large scale computer networks including peer to peer systems which are quite vulnerable.

3. Cloaking

Cloaking software was an underground rage a few years back. The concept is to present two types of content: One for the actual visitors to your website, the other was for the search engine spiders that crawl your web pages looking for updating content that has been keyword optimized. This was an elaborate way of getting the search engines to show a page they normally would not.

All of this may sound ridiculous and totally unnecessary. Yes on both counts. The easiest way to stay on the good side of the search engines is to give them exactly what they want; namely a website with good content (preferably unique) that grows at a more natural pace.

This maybe a slow way to success for some people but it’s safe and it works. You are growing a business which you hope will be prosperous for years to come. Do not let anyone talk you into putting it at risk by using blackhat techniques.

A discussion of some of the software programs and tools that can help optimize your SEO as well as bring more targeted visitors to your website.

There are definitely some SEO marketing tools on the market that can help your homegrown web site earn more money. For instance you might want to consider getting an opt-in list builder. This type of program helps you install an opt in request feature on your website so that you can build your own mailing list. There are some out there on the market that promise that you can have a list with as many as thirty thousand people on it in just three months.

Another tool that you might want to consider getting is a link manager. Sometimes they are referred to as hoplink managers. This is a great Internet business gizmo that allows affiliates to promote multiple websites using only one ClickBank account. The result is often an increase in profits thanks to a raise in your page rankings on both Google and Clickbank.

Programs that can assist you with your SEO are ones like the Article Page Machine, the Article Site Builder and the Quick Page generator. These programs assist people who can’t write in taking articles and replicating them. This is one way to building an informational site that is original and unique, however be forewarned. Make too many pages like these and you could be accused of spamming. Article page machines are writing tools that allow you to take an article and automatically maximize it with keywords. Article site builder helps you earn money by drawing targeted visitors to your informational site.

Quick page generators are advertised as being able you to create hundreds of pages of unique public domain content without spamming. However the drawback is that usually these articles are not of a high enough quality to submit to article and ezine directories as these directories do detect this type of artificially generated piece as spam sooner or later.

An SEO marketing career is not for everyone. For one thing there are risks to being an SEO affiliate marketer as there are no guarantee that you will have sales. No business is foolproof and the same goes for an SEO business that is based on affiliate marketing.

In order to succeed at SEO marketing you must have an entrepreneurial. An entrepreneurial spirit is one that likes what they do, is turned on by the risk of freelancing and that is competitive and ambitious (even if the odds seem stacked against them). If you are the type that yearns for other people’s approval, security and frequent pets on the head for a job well done then this career is not for you.

Individuals who have an entrepreneurial spirit are good at multi-tasking. They learn from their mistakes and are not overwhelmed by what to other people would seem to be catastrophes. They are also curious and looking for the next wave or new thing. They also know how to take the latest trend and turn it into an SEO website. A great SEO marketer can turn a single word into massive profits in just under a month by utilizing clever keywords.

Successful entrepreneurs also tend to have very good gut instincts. If you don’t feel that you are naturally a lucky person then it could be that your gut instincts are off and that you would not be a great judge of what sells or what is would be hot in the SEO market.

You always need to have a system. The system that works for you is worked out according to what your talents are, what you have to offer and what is in demand on the Internet. To a real entrepreneur, chaos is just an opportunity to make more money and not an occasion to have a nervous breakdown. If you don’t enjoy unpredictability then don’t consider an SEO marketing career.

In the Internet, SEO marketing is the way to go if you want your business to be seen and heard. There is such a thing as an SEO marketing specialist who aids clients and website owners in their quest to have bigger sales and more traffic to the site.

The Aim of SEO Marketing

SEO marketing has only one aim and that is to bring traffic to a certain site. Traffic is seen as prospective buyers and clients of the site owner. Therefore, traffic is a much needed “commodity”. Many Internet users visit sites that they have been redirected to or sites that have been presented by search engine results, and they get hooked into these sites. In other words, some users do not specifically seek out that particular site but they might have been led to it by it being in the top ten high ranking sites presented during a search conducted via a search engine.

Now you see how important getting high ranking is during searches. Sites that rank in the top ten are most likely visited by more users than those that are ranked lower. Many users do not bother to look for more sites if they find what they are looking for in the first few sites presented in a search. This is why many sites employ search engine optimization methods to encourage higher ranking and to achieve successful SEO marketing.

The Value of SEO Marketing

The value of SEO marketing is that people who work to market your site know what they are doing and may be objective about what your site requires. SEO marketing is also a way of fully understanding how the search engines work and what is needed to meet the requirements of being in the top ten pages of a search engine.

SEO Marketing Tools and Strategies

There are many ways of getting your site in front of many Internet users. These strategies are all included in search engine optimization and website optimization. Most sites are optimized to suit the requirements of search engines. Many search engines index and catalog sites in accordance to the data and information that the site owners have submitted and the data and information that the search engine crawlers have gleaned from the web site. The way that the data and information are placed in the site is important and so is the submissions that are given to the search engines. It is the role of the SEO marketing expert to be able to fully recognize the right data and information to supply for the site and submit to the search engines. Many SEO marketing companies hire SEO marketing consultants to accommodate the increasing demand for quality SEO marketing experts that can handle search engine optimization and SEO marketing for various sites

Among the many SEO marketing tools that can propel a site to the first page of a search engine result is content. Content that is relevant to the site is what sites need to make it stand out from others that have irrelevant content and improper web design. This is the importance of keyword or key phrases that are integrated ion to the article used for the site. These articles carry the information that robotic crawlers need in order to properly index a site according to what it contains and what it can offer to users.

SEO marketing strategies also include designing the web site in such a way as to make it easier to use and for the texts and images to load quickly. It is important for the web site to be quick loading in order to hold the attention of the users. Sites that take too long to load or have large images that hinder quick access to the texts will most likely be abandoned by the users in favor for a much faster site. Part of SEO marketing is to meet the demands and needs of the people by providing a web site that has relevance and the information that the users need.

The problem with SEO marketing is that there is a fine line of distinction between black hat and white hat methodologies. Some SEO experts employ underhand methods to gain high ranking for their clients’ sites. Many overzealous SEO experts might integrate a few well placed codes and hidden texts that could raise the ranking of a certain web site. Human users will not be able to see these codes and text but the robotic spiders and crawlers used by the search engines to help index a site will be able to read these and gather these as relevant information regarding the site. The results of these actions will lead to the site being banned from the search engine and the SEO company might be included with this. It is best to practice white hat methods of SEO marketing to have long lasting results.

Becoming an internet network marketing internet guru is not that difficult. Most self-proclaimed experts do not have a clue what they are doing, but by calling themselves an expert and knowing the language leads other to believe they know what they are talking about. Usually, their success is short-lived as people soon realize they are getting to return on their investment.

Some of these folks may have been really good at marketing in the off-line world but have not been able to adapt to the global concept of network marketing for an online business. They are stuck in the old days and as such, their marketing ideas are only working for businesses stuck in the old ways as well. Being able to make that leap is a genuine need to be successful in today’s internet marketing world.

When they went to college to learn marketing, in the days before the internet, they learned valuable information on the best ways to promote a company’s name. Advertising promoted specific products and marketing promoted the company’s brand. In today’s internet marketing you have to be able to do both at the same time and it takes a different type of expertise to pull it off.

Becoming involved in internet network marketing is more than just posting ads on hundreds or thousands of affiliate websites. The message you post must be geared to a diverse audience as it is impossible to know exactly who will be viewing your message. A smart affiliate will not post ads on their site that have no relationship to their own message, still others will post just about any type ad, other than those relating to their business for fear of the extra competition.

Another thought has it that the common web surfer, that is those with no knowledge of or interest in internet marketing may be seeing a different message when they ads on a web site. These folks, commonly referred to as potential customers, only see advertising and do not know or care whether it is paid ads or not. Being an affiliate with well-known businesses may lead them to the conclusion that your site must be pretty good to keep company with such big businesses.

Surrounding yourself with good people has long been an accepted method of helping your business get better, By bringing in the smartest and brightest stars, new and innovative ideas have helped many businesses prosper. The same theory could be applied to network marketing as having your name associated with the biggest and brightest companies can make your site shine even brighter. Perhaps a better name would be success by association.

For example, you run a computer hardware sales company on the internet and become an affiliate of Cisco, many may interpret that as an endorsement of your business by one of the biggest computer network hardware manufacturers, which gives your name a boost.

They also allow these independent distributors to build and manage their own sales force to increase their earnings. Independent distributors do this by recruiting, motivating, supplying, and training others to sell the company’s products on the internet. The distributors’ compensation comes from a percentage of their internet product sales. This percentage is sometimes fixed but more often is dependent on their total sales, with higher earnings percentages resulting from higher sales. Distributors who recruit and train other salespeople will also earn a percentage of the sales of their sales group. The independent representatives that each distributor signs up are often referred to as their ‘downline’.
