One of the best is Squidoo. What is Squidoo? by mamta

Hosting can cost from $1 to over $100, though the average price is usually less than $20. Sound cheap? Well, it is until you multiply that number by 100 or even 1,000. And, if you're going to be a serious Internet marketer, eventually, you will have that many sites in your repertoire. This is why it's important to consider free hosting alternatives. One of the best is Squidoo. What is Squidoo? Squidoo is a powerful Web 2.0 site that allows people to create their own blogs, (also known as lenses). There is no charge for hosting, and virtually no limit to how many lenses can be created. Additionally, Squidoo participates in Adsense revenue-sharing. This means that they will allow you to keep revenue from your Adsense clicks a certain percentage of the time. The exact percentage will depend on what is being promoted. So, what's the best way to create a money-making Squidoo lens? Well, first make sure you can write solid articles surrounding whatever your official website or affiliate program is about. Don't fall into the temptation to just post a bunch of advertisements on your lens. Readers will only be put off by your lens and not click on any ads, whether they are your own links or Adsense. It's much better to provide valuable information that will build up interest to your product or service rather than advertise it outright. Anyway, as you are writing your articles, don't forget that you want to try and make secondary income from Adsense, should your reader not click on any of your links. To do this you will need to incorporate keywords that Adsense bots will pick up. Try to use more popular keywords, since this will net you more money. In fact, if you can, consider buying a list containing the most expensive Adsense keywords. You should be able to find these easily by doing a basic search on Google or another search engine. Once you get it, find the keywords that best match what you're talking about and use them 2 to 6 percent of the time throughout your text. If you do things right, the more expensive keywords will get integrated into your lens. Granted, you won't always get the revenue, but at least when you do, you can be assured that it will be high. Okay now, at this point many Adsense gurus might feel uncomfortable at the thought of sharing any revenue with another company. They may feel that it's better to just get a regular hosting account for their blogs than to go that route. Well, again, there's still the issue of the numbers game if you do massive Internet marketing. But there's another issue at stake presence. Squidoo is already indexed by search engines, and has a high page rank. This means that any lenses produced on their network are more likely to get noticed by search engines than a new, no-name website. And for newbies who may not know how to rank high on their own, this is a major advantage that can't be overlooked. In conclusion, Squidoo is the best place to turn if you're looking for an affordable way to create a blog or series of blogs. There are no recurring charges, but you will have to share any Adsense revenue you make. This is a disadvantage, but Squidoo's popularity in search engine listings should overcome it at least for the newbie.

The resource by Mike filsaime

In the beginning there was the marketer. There are certain truths you come to understand the more time you spend making money online - or trying to. Witness the evolution of marketing online. Whether you are new to the net game or an experienced pro, there is one thing you will have in common if you are moving towards entrepreneurial success. As you read this article you will realize what you have in common with all the other million dollar earners online, and what you're missing that can take you from where you are to where you want to be. So let's get started shall we? J I will begin with a bullet point list and short explanation of the marketing necessities you want to have: For starters, most established markets will already be using this by default: - A Domain: something specific to what you want to promote like (ex.www.mysite.com)
- Hosting: a place to put your site, if you're planning on making money - find a paid solution so you look like a credible business and you cut back on high traffic crashes.

- A website: your image your presence and your marketing message, don't get pulled into the trap I see everywhere of trying to put too many choices on your website. Maximize on the effectiveness by only giving one purpose to a page. For example if you want to build a list - focus all your efforts and copy on that singular focus, if you want your site to sell a product, then only put that focus on your site. You'll also need a good editing program, and an ftp software to get this up and moving.

- A merchant account: If you have something to sell, people will need a way to pay you. There are a ton of great providers out there, but there are a specific few that give your visitors the security to pull out a credit card with assurance.

- An Autoresponder: This is a real necessity if you want a business and not just a hobby. When you have a family to support this is a real no brainer. This is your email follow up service. You get a name added to your list and this is where they go. You will use this to stay in touch and build relationships with your customers and soon-to-be customers.

- A helpdesk: in the beginning when your business and sales are small you can handle all the little questions and emails yourself. One of the things that will keep a small business is small is thinking "I can do that myself" if you want to truly grow; you need to share the workload (petty tasks) and focus on what you truly want to do creatively for your business.


- Membership Site software: once you're addicted to the internet marketing lifestyle, you will realize this oh-so-simple fact, it's great to make a sale, but it's even better to make a sale once and get paid for it every month. Continuity is king.

- Teleconferencing software: If you want an easy way to create and crank out high ticket products, audios and a transcript is an easy to make, high-value product.

Of course everything we've touched on so far only scratches the surface, but these are the necessities that not only get you started but will make you above average. Keep your eyes peeled for more articles that will take you from beginner to winner. We'll cover resources that will help you stay organized and expand your business to make you truly prosperous such as: -PDF creators and converters - Mind mapping software - Site tools to make your business a set and forget it - money magnet - Internet video and audio creating software - And the how-to's of outsourcing Keep learning, and most important: be persistent - it will be a quality you share with the biggest money makers online today...

Change can be one of the biggest benefits for your MLM business. by Jason Fackrell

I've seen people who have been stuck in the same Network Marketing company for years and still haven't made a dime. But day after day -month after month they continue to push and pull themselves along.
I wonder to myself "what's going on in their minds?" and I wonder why on earth they would stay with the same company or the same people if they're not seeing any progress.

While I'm 100% against quitting. Obviously you're guaranteed to fail if you quit. I believe change can be one of the biggest benefits of your life.

Here's why:

The thing about change: while many people fear it, it's actually something you should WELCOME, because it's usually the BEST thing that can happen to your business.

Change can provide you with a much-needed "kick in the butt," bringing energy and excitement back into a business that may be getting predictable (and suffering as a result).

And when you learn to accept change, you'll be able to bring a fresh and exciting vision to your Network Marketing business, and open yourself up to brand-new opportunities.

Best of all, when you're open to change, you become a much more confident entrepreneur, and you also become more flexible, which will allow you to evolve along with a changing market.

So I'd like to encourage all of you, not just to grudgingly accept or tolerate change, but to EMBRACE it, even SEEK IT OUT!

Sure it's hard to mess with something that's working well and I still advocate change anyway BUT if you're not seeing success or the results that you want then by all means push-force yourself forward to make the necessary changes to turn your life and business around. If your business is not moving forward every single day then you've got a serious problem.

You should be seeing some if only a little progress in your Network Marketing business EVERY SINGLE DAY.

If you're business is at a stand still or even worse - going backwards just like today's economy then you must make some changes either in your business or your life. It could be your mindset, the people you associate with everyday, your upline or simply the way you're conducting your business.

I've noticed in my life when things are not going the way I'd like them to go, 99% of the time it's my fault and fixing it is simply a matter of CHANGING whatever it is that's causing me pain or causing me to stay in the same place.

I like to think that it's that willingness to make changes that has allowed me and BreakOut Sponsoring to grow into the company we are today!

So I know that change can seem intimidating, and down right scary sometimes, but to paraphrase that pop song from a few years ago, a change really will do you good!

Dedicated To Your Success

Three Reasons Why You Might Want to Use a Landing Page   by MattE

As an affiliate marketer you know full well that the quickest way to get your sale and your commissions is to get your prospect to their target as fast as possible with as few of clicks as possible.
The fastest way to do that, of course, is to link directly to the pay page. Unfortunately, due to the terms and conditions of some affiliate programs this may not be a possibility. That's where the landing page comes in.

One of the reasons to use a landing page then, is to stay within the terms of the affiliate agreement you agreed to when you signed up for the program you're promoting. Most programs will offer you some sort of tool in the form of a banner or premade landing page that you can use for this purpose, however, using something a little more unique than what thousands of other marketers are using typically increases conversions exponentially.

Many people use PPC marketing strategies to generate traffic to their affiliate campaigns, this is the second reason why you may want to consider using a landing page. Some PPC search engines no longer allow direct linking to the merchant so, if you want to advertise using their services you have to link to a domain or site that you own. Of course, this is where your landing page will be.

The third reason you might want to use one is to give yourself more control over your campaigns. Maybe one program or product isn't converting as well as you would like. If you're using a landing page all you simply need to do is swap the links from one program to another, or, change the landing page itself to an entirely different one.

Of course, these are three simple and quick reasons why you would want to use a landing page for your affiliate marketing but you can quickly see how great of a tool they really can be.
