Why Great Content is the Best Online Marketing Strategy by T. J. Philpott
Although publishing content on the internet is a great online marketing strategy some people tend to shy away from it since it is somewhat labor intensive. On the other hand if these people were aware of what an effective advertising strategy circulating useful information was they may reconsider their reluctance to using it.
Take a look at how content marketing offers 3 compelling reasons why more people should use it to promote their online interests.
Attracts Targeted Traffic
Any content that you publish or circulate on line will of course be relevant to what it is you are promoting. The people who read your work and find it interesting will likely follow the link you have placed within your content back to your site. It is therefore safe to assume these same people will also have an interest in what it is you are promoting.
Branding Your Name
If you devote yourself to the same topic or niche when publishing content people will tend to associate your name and/or business with the topic you are writing about. This continual 'reinforcement' will in turn make you more or less synonymous with the subject matter. Over time this will tend to brand you and/or your business with the subject matter contained in the content you are circulating. All this will be based upon the consistency and longevity of your content marketing campaign.
Leverage Your Efforts
The content you produce can be put to work for you in a variety of ways allowing you to leverage the efforts you invest in the development of it. For instance an article can also be used for a newsletter or perhaps an ezine. A blog post can be expanded upon to create an article or even a series of articles. Any of the content you develop can also be 'pulled' together to produce an informational product for sale or to be given away as a free gift.
Producing content does involve an investment of time and effort but there is no reason not to take a 'one time effort' and let it serve multiple uses. The only thing that is limiting you here is your own imagination.
Producing and circulating content is an online marketing strategy that offers deep rooted benefits and at no cost. Publishing content on the internet can be a very effective advertising strategy as long as it contains useful information from which readers can benefit. Understandably however many choose not to employ this approach due to the labor intensity associated with it. Upon reviewing the 3 undeniable benefits of content marketing as we did above it would seem that this extra effort is well worth it.

Are You Looking at Internet Marketing Backwards? by Jason Lane
in Online Promotion (submitted 2009-12-07)
If you love guitars, stay away from Guitar Center! I accidentally went into one yesterday and the next thing I knew, 4 hours had passed. I played with their guitars all day! Suddenly my old beat up guitar doesn't seem so special anymore! I have a feeling that I'm going to sneak back over there today and buy a couple new ones....*ugh*
In this article I want to talk to you about products and how to pick the ones guaranteed to sell like mad...
So I was being interviewed for a book or magazine article or something last week and one of the questions asked was this:
If you had to start over tomorrow... what product would you choose to market?
....or something like that. That question got me to thinking. Most people look at things backwards when it comes to marketing. And it gets them into trouble, huge, massive, horrible, end of the world type trouble.
Let me explain....
You should never ask yourself "what product should I market" instead you should look at a group of people (a market) and ask yourself...what product are they desperate for.
You look at a group of people and determine what they all want or need....that's how you decide what to sell. That's the ONLY way you should ever decide which products to sell online.
Marketing isn't about products...it's about people and their wants and needs....find out what those are, and everything else drops into place as easy as pie!
Yet too many people look at it the other way around...they come up with a great "new idea" for a product...they plunk down a lot of money to develop it...they spend a lot of money building a web site and putting in shopping cart functions etc...
And then they look around and say "Now, how do I market this product?".
They've got it all completely and totally backwards!!
More often than not...they've sunk all that money into developing the product and then they start spending money on advertising and promotion, only to find that there's no need or desire for the product they've created!
So if you want to be assured of success at marketing (both online and off), you should always find an eager market, determine what they want and need....and then simply give it to them.
Heck, I'll often advertise a product BEFORE I build it. If enough people order from the advertisement, I'll then rush to develop the product (as long as you get it to them in less than a month, you're ok).
If not enough people order to justify building the product, I just contact the few people that did buy it and explain that the product is no longer available and let them know that they won't be charged.

A Review of ViralURL
So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.
Whether you’re promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products – that doesn’t matter because, after all, it’s nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whatever the case, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.
Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive, if you’re cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.
Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure, and they take security measures and understand the importance.
Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you don’t adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important ways to be secure is to protect your affiliate links. Don’t take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part could cost you a lot of dollars.
Do you know that the long complicated links you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems? If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link doesn’t function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which is a definite put off.
Furthermore, you could create an even a worse situation. Some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with their own. When they do, you get no commission at all.

The Growth of Mobile Social Networking Applications by Tony Knapp
With the simplicity of connectivity on cell phones, online social communities are becoming extremely popular. Facebook, Twitter and MySpace understand that the quicker it is for their users to stay connected throughout the day, the more interesting they will find their online social community.
These online social sites have partnered together with mobile phone carriers to ensure that their platforms work properly across all web-ready phones and actively advertise how simple it is to stay connected to various online communities directly from mobile devices.
Online social communities are reaching a broader audience. Some schools are allowing their community to {create|develop|use[/spin private groups on networking sites that allow students to get help from each other on homework assignments. Schools are also realizing that social networking communities are a great way to stay in touch with the activities of alumnus as they leave the school. Being able to quickly post comments and upload photos with a mobile device is becoming very popular as more students try to take advantage of these groups.
In addition to traditional schools, the home schooling community is also discovering social networking communities a great way to not only keep in touch but to help each other with ideas, lesson plans and problem solving discussions. Again, being able to update these communities with a mobile device makes it simple to keep these connections current.
Those that work from home and stay at home moms have also realized online social communities are a way to share ideas and stay connected. Families that have relatives spread throughout the world can use online communities to share experiences and photos almost immediately since, as long as you have your mobile device with you, you can easily post a note and a photograph without having to wait until you get back home and have time in front of the computer. Grandparents will love this!
Mobile social networking communities that have only mobile applications, in some ways, have an advantage over the larger web based sites since they do not have the expense of a web site. These mobile applications have viral growth as users share the word about their service.
Technology continues to make mobile social networking easier and less limiting. All of the features available on the computer will be offered on mobile devices, from photo editing to video, even word processing. As these advanced cell phones become more affordable, more consumers will be able to take advantage of these mobile applications. Even old cell phones with web connectivity will be able to use enough of the basic tools to keep active with all of the social communities the user chooses.
The simpler an application is to access and use, the broader the user base is going to be. As Facebook, with a user base nearly as large as the population of the United States, would surely agree, the more users the social community has, the more valuable it will be to each individual user. Members are sure to find friends and groups within the community that relate to them, and that will keep them returning.

Alternatives To Spam
"If you’re like me, you’re probably sick to death of opening you’re e-mail inbox only to be overwhelmed by a deluge of spam ads that of no interest to me. It seems like everyone is in a rush to take up the e-marketing banner without a lot of thought how effective or ineffective it is. You can reach a large audience, but what good is that doing if you’re advertising isn’t targeted at the kinds of people who would realistically buy your product. Another big draw is that its comparatively inexpensive as advertising goes. There are better alternatives out there, though.
If you’re willing to forgo the bright lights and over inflated promises of e-marketing, though, you’ll find that good old fashioned marketing the low tech way is just as inexpensive and delivers more tangible results for your money. Let’s take a look at a comparable print marketing tool, like postcard marketing, and what it brings to the table, then.
Compared to e-mail based ads, postcards are quite simply less annoying than their web based counterpoint. Consumers can receive dozens upon dozens of ads in their e-mail boxes daily. Chances are, if the sender isn’t a friend or family member, that e-mail is going to get moved to their trash folder. The direct mail market is far less crowded, though, so there’s less chance of your advertising message getting lost in the crowd. Also, unlike e-mails, there’s nothing for consumers to click on to open and read and no threats of computer viruses to scare them off. All they have to do is open the mail box, and they were going to do that anyway.
Still not sold on the idea? Consider some of the other plus sides of postcard printing:
Eye Catching: The front of your postcard is going to be a one big image. While sorting the bills, your recipient is almost certainly going to not only notice your image, but will turn the post card over to see what’s on the other side.
Simple: You don’t have to have a long sales pitch to make an impact. Your image is already prominently displayed on one side, leaving you the reverse side for a clever catch phrase and your offer.
Versatile: Post cards can be used for more than sales pitches. You can also include discounts or promotional offers. You can also use your post cards to keep your customers up to date on things like new services, new business hours, seasonal sales, service appointments, or anything else you might need to relate.
Don’t let your message get lost in a sea of fruitless marketing e-mails. Instead of following the fad, go with a time proven marketing tool, go with postcards."

Don’t let your message get lost in a sea of fruitless marketing e-mails. Instead of following the fad, go with a time proven marketing tool, go with postcards."

As An Entrepreneur/Home Business Owner What Do You Do When…?

As an entrepreneur/home business owner, what do you do when everything seems to be falling apart at the same time?
• When your PC becomes infected with a virus, even though you have virus protection
• When you move and the heat index is 105º and you’re short a person to help
• When you’re relegated to using dialup to surf the Internet, due to miscommunication with the telephone company and service is interrupted for over a week
• When the car won’t start and you’re supposed to be at your job
• When your laptop becomes infected with viruses
• When… all within the same three to four week period
This circumstance has been a real test of my patience as well as my perseverance and determination to succeed at working from home. As a not-so-young entrepreneur, I’ve had lots of practice dealing with challenges. Well, that’s the human condition.
Anyway, my PC has been inoperable for about three months, so I started using my laptop for my home business until I could get more money to get the PC wiped and restored without busting my budget. Since moving from my temporary place a month ago (on the 105º heat index day), I had been using the laptop—for all of about two weeks—after the telephone situation was straightened out, when I got these flashing messages and other strange looking things while on line that are indicative of aliens taking over—viruses.
I called my computer techie friends in Arizona and told them what was happening. They said that they had experienced the same thing, and gave me a site for downloading PC tools and virus protection. Although I have virus protection I needed an additional one for a different type of virus; VERY malicious and aggressive kind. I wish I had known about it when my PC was first attacked. With the PC I couldn’t tell until it was too late! We live and learn, and I’ve gained a great deal of knowledge over the past very few years of attempting to run a home business.
I panicked a little at the thought of being without a computer to work my home business, and decided to take the PC to the shop. During that trip the car, which was starting then, began to run hot, and I was almost stranded on the highway. I was able to maneuver out of traffic, drop off the PC, get the car started again only to get lost on the way back home. The car shut off again at a stop light, but I managed to start it one more time to get 15 yards around the corner and up an incline out of traffic with steam coming from under the hood. Long story short, getting lost was a good thing-- I’ve been here less than two years-- as someone walked up at that moment, taped the radiator hose, filled the radiator with water and rode with me to the auto parts place a few blocks away to get a new hose and more coolant, and he made the repair for a nominal fee, and pointed me in the right direction home. I told him he was my angel! He saved me towing and mechanic fees.
I also had a DSL problem which prevented me from being able to be online and on the telephone simultaneously. I had talked to the phone company about it, but there was a glitch that didn’t make sense to me. So I just let it go. I resolved that problem a few minutes ago myself. I’m not a techie in any sense of the word, but I do eventually figure out some things, when I’m focused and feel relatively unstressed so I can determine where to begin. There comes a point when “dealing” needs to come to a halt!
By the way, yesterday (Friday) I called the computer shop to check on my PC, in case they had been trying to call me, and they hadn’t even looked at it. I dropped it off two weeks ago.
So, sometimes we just have to step back and things workout. That’s what I’ve learned in my lifetime and have to remind myself of often, especially while trying to operate a home business. There must be balance.

Keys to a Successful Network Marketing Business
by Michael E Friedman
The keys to success in any business whether it be online or offline are mindset, education, resources and most importantly unique selling proposition (USP).
Mindset is your internal motivator. If you are not 110% confident in the business opportunity you will most likely fail. If you don't believe you can become a leader in your field and take this knowledge to train others the likelihood for success is dismal.
You must have goals and a plan to reach them. Not necessarily monetary goals because we all want more money. Perhaps you goal is spending more time with your family and friends. Your method of achieving this could be a home business. Maybe you want a brand new custom 6,000 square foot home, a new luxury car, boat, exotic vacations, etc. How are you going to achieve this? The obvious answer is money. However, the right answer should be what method or plan is going to allow me to have these dreams and goals turn into reality.
The following factors should be in place and offer you a solution to simplify your search in discovering the right network marketing partner giving you the greatest likelihood to succeed in achieving your dreams:
System: * A fully integrated and personalized online marketing and customer management system * Detailed traffic, lead and sales tracking capabilities * Professional live call center to assist in closing member product sales * International availability * Multiple language platforms
Training * Extensive and comprehensive audio/video library * Comprehensive Marketing Program that teaches a combination of traditional and contemporary marketing strategies * Frequent educational webinars and tele-seminars * Daily personal development training * Business leadership programs * Live events to meet with your peers, mentors and experts in your industry+
Support * Email, phone, and live chat * Professional outsourcing and virtual assistant * Personal marketing mentors
Look for a proven system, plan and template that you can emulate and copy the success of proven leaders in their industry. Discover a system that is built on leadership, communication and integrity, a system that provides its associates with the tools to virtually copy proven success tactics by means of ongoing training and personal support.
Remember, there are no get rich quick businesses without any financial or time commitment. If there were, everyone would be wealthy. Always remember nothing is achieved whether personally or financially without a positive mindset, dedication, perseverance, and just plain old hard work. You can be provided with all the tools, support and resources to market anything to anyone, anywhere in the world, regardless of experience or technical expertise but only you can make it a reality by focus, dedication, perseverance and again just plain old hard work. Only you can empower yourself. Don't identify problems instead find solutions. Don't move around your solutions but move through them.
http://financialfreedomleaders.com/?t=goarticles1 can give you the benefit of the experience of someone who has experienced the pitfalls of MLM, and dramatically shorten the sometimes long and painful learning curve associated with Internet marketing and provide you with attainable, profitable, overwhelming results.

What Is Twitter? by Stephen Pierce
Do you know what Twitter is about? Twitter is a free social networking service in which people can post quick updates on their Twitter site. Many people are taking advantage of this because it's a way to get to know other people that have the same interests as you.
In order to start, you have to sign up for a free account. It is simple to do and only takes a few minutes to set up. In order to get traffic to your Twitter website, you have to send "tweets".
Tweets are short posts that you send to your account for others to see. You are only allowed to write your tweets with using 140 characters. Other people that see your tweets are called followers. If they are interested in what you have to say, they in turn, will tweet back to you.
You can tweet on Twitter about different things. Some of the topics include sports, advertising, cooking, weight loss and the list goes on and on. There is no set way as to how you should tweet.
However, when you do tweet, it's better if your posts are meaningful and have substance. People like to read about things that interest them. With 140 characters to work with for each tweet, you are hard pressed to send something that will peak your follower's interest.
Twitter can also be used for marketing and promoting of your business. However, you must be subtle about it when you are doing this. You don't want to start out promoting your business as soon as you sign up for an account.
Your motives will be easily discovered and you won't have many followers. It's better if you establish a relationship with your followers and then promote your business. They will appreciate that you thought that much of them not to take advantage of the situation.
With Twitter, everyone is not going to reciprocate when you send out a tweet. Whenever you are tweeting, it's important not to complain or gripe about other people to your followers. They get turned off very quickly and will not come back to your site.
Twitter is a good tool for networking and cultivating relationships. People like it because they are able to connect with others in ways that they may not be able to do otherwise. You will be able to make connections all around the world by continuing to tweet posts that are of interest to others. It has become the new way of effectively communicating through social networking.

The Benefits Of Grabbing That Residual Income Opportunity by Ewen Chia
One of the key points of finding success with residual income is to grab a good residual income opportunity. While opportunities are available everywhere on the globe, not all will be necessarily good. In fact, some will only result in frustration and additional expenses that you definitely don't want. In general, generating residual income is never a bad thing. Who wouldn't want to earn considerable amounts of money in a very short span of time? While you're continuing your usual job, you will carry on earning additional amounts of money. There are so many advantages to grabbing a good residual income opportunity.
Taking The Residual Income Opportunity
The World Wide Web is the most potent marketing means in the modern world. Network marketing is an industry that generates more millionaires than any other in the world. So how did these millionaires get started? Believe it or not, we all start small. They may have started out researching online on "how to create residual income" and following through e-books and online guides as part of their training and experience. Even as a novice, you can see great results immediately. Almost everyone these days use the internet-what other place is there to make as an investment playground?
The Advantages Of Taking The Residual Income Opportunity
When you choose the residual income opportunity over those of the usual job or conventional business opportunity, you can quite see why some individuals opt for residual income activities or "work at home" activities. Unlike the usual job where you have a fixed schedule, this is not so with residual income benefits. Of course, you'll need to spend time designing and developing the network/business model but once you've accomplished all preparations, you'll be able to generate money even when you're on holiday or sitting in front of the TV. Evidently, it's not really a "piece of cake" to achieve that level, but once you've done that, your path to success will be paved in concrete. All it takes is determination and more importantly, action.
Some residual income plans provide transference of your residuals in the occurrence of your death. This means that once you've accomplished what's called for involving residual income, it will transfer to your family when you pass away. Rather than your wife or husband having to fret over how they're going to settle the bills, the network you've developed will do all the rest for them. Not all plans provide this advantage, but you can try looking, as they do exist.
There are many other advantages. For instance you can be certain that your income will rise with inflation when it comes to creating residual income. You'll also no longer have to fret over things like promotions or increases. Your residual income business will be producing the big bucks for you even while you're in bed.
What Makes Residual Income Opportunities So Great
They are incredibly easy to learn, considering you have the right tools to help you out. Learning from what others have already gather through years of experience will always put you in a better position as a novice compared to having to learn from your own mistakes. With the right tools, you can easily start making use of the residual income opportunity and making money almost immediately!

Affiliate Marketing: The Easiest Way to Start Earning Online by Paul Kinder
The current economic situation around the world stole the hope of a lot of people. When major businesses closed or retrenched workers, a lot of families suffered. For this reason, there are a lot of people looking for additional sources of income, and even ways to have their own business at a minimal cost. One solution to this is through affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is about selling or promoting affiliate products online. There is no need to look for products to sell, buy and store stocks, and take care of shipping the goods to the customers. It simply involves endorsing other people’s products or services and getting the allotted commission per sale. In this industry, the highest aim is to be a super affiliate.
Being a super affiliate means doing an extra mile for the business and earning a lot of cash from it. The title itself is very extravagant, and it is not simple to reach that stage. However, it is always possible when enough time and effort is given to it. Who would not like to earn maximum profits in the comforts of home, with just a simple website and affiliate products?
Affiliate marketing is a very exciting venture. It is not easy money but it is worth the effort. The first thing to identify is the niche market or the target market. Find a group of people that has a common problem or concern, and then offer them a solution. This is far better than finding a product then looking for people who would buy it. Finding the market is the better way as they are already looking for solutions to their current concerns.
Next thing to consider is to capture leads, and keep in touch with the potential customers through emails, forums, and social media. Establish the credibility and build good relationships. While creating a foundation and maintaining this status, the products must be marketed in the most unique way that is possible. Develop sales copy and fix the web page design to surely entice web viewers.
The site’s content must be a good source of information. This makes visitors stay on the site and choose to learn more about the business. Such information to add to the site are reviews, tips, contests, polls, newsletters, and articles that are very interesting. These can be one of the reasons to make people go back to the site.
Furthermore, every internet marketing strategy must be tested. This is to make sure that the business, product, or service is being promoted properly. It is best to continuously look for ways to attract people or to direct people to the site. It is important to grab the viewers’ attention and hook them on to the site or webpage or sales page.
When the target market is famished to take the solution to their concern, it is just a proper time to promote an affiliate product that would help them out. People who know and feel that their needs will be met by a certain business will surely make a purchase and be the loyal buying customer. Having a lot of these types of buyers will surely mold an online entrepreneur to be a recognized super affiliate. It also requires hard work but far less than building one’s own product.

The current economic situation around the world stole the hope of a lot of people. When major businesses closed or retrenched workers, a lot of families suffered. For this reason, there are a lot of people looking for additional sources of income, and even ways to have their own business at a minimal cost. One solution to this is through affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is about selling or promoting affiliate products online. There is no need to look for products to sell, buy and store stocks, and take care of shipping the goods to the customers. It simply involves endorsing other people’s products or services and getting the allotted commission per sale. In this industry, the highest aim is to be a super affiliate.
Being a super affiliate means doing an extra mile for the business and earning a lot of cash from it. The title itself is very extravagant, and it is not simple to reach that stage. However, it is always possible when enough time and effort is given to it. Who would not like to earn maximum profits in the comforts of home, with just a simple website and affiliate products?
Affiliate marketing is a very exciting venture. It is not easy money but it is worth the effort. The first thing to identify is the niche market or the target market. Find a group of people that has a common problem or concern, and then offer them a solution. This is far better than finding a product then looking for people who would buy it. Finding the market is the better way as they are already looking for solutions to their current concerns.
Next thing to consider is to capture leads, and keep in touch with the potential customers through emails, forums, and social media. Establish the credibility and build good relationships. While creating a foundation and maintaining this status, the products must be marketed in the most unique way that is possible.

Twitter Basics – What You Need To Know About Web 2.0’s Newest And Most Popular Social Tool
Why are many people looking for information regarding Twitter basics? What is this thing called Twitter, in the first place? More importantly, what is the marketing significance of this funny sounding word?
Twitter is the newest of the Web 2.0 technologies that has swept the nation – and the world – in such a short time. Twitter is also the newest darling of the internet marketing crowd as online businessmen have realized the sheer potential of this one-of-a-kind messaging platform.
Want is Twitter? Twitter, with its official website at www.twitter.com, is a new kind of online tool for interconnection. Basically, you can opt to “follow” and be “followed” by other users. When you post a message on your Twitter page, everyone who’s following you will be able to see your message, called a “tweet.” Whenever someone you’re following posts a message, you – together with the subject’s other followers – will be able to see the said message or “tweet.” This, in a nutshell, is how Twitter works.
Sounds pretty simple?
Well, no really. Aside from being able to send and read messages via your Twitter page, you can also send and receive messages via SMS. With Twitter, you can keep literally keep in touch with your followers wherever they may be, and wherever you may be. You don’t have to be in front of the PC. Your cellular phone is more than enough for you to send some “tweets.”
Here are some very interesting Twitter basics that you must know:
The philosophy behind Twitter is for it to become the “SMS of the internet.” Each tweet has a maximum of 140 characters. Tweeters are compelled to shorten their messages, and readers are given a message that’s easier to read because of its brevity.
Twitter is the 3rd most popular – and most utilized – Web 2.0 website, next only to Facebook and Myspace. Expertes estimate Twitter’s number of members to be within the 4 million to 5 million range.
Twitter is dubbed as the fastest growing website on the internet as of this writing. Its growth rate as of February, 2009, has reached almost 1,400%.
The LA Fire Department, NASA, and even Barrack Obama’s presidential campaign utilized Twitter as a tool that can easily disseminate information across a wide audience.
Want more Twitter basics?
Did you know that people are just beginning to realize the full potentials of Twitter? Imagine these…
The Cleveland Cavaliers updating the events of its games via Twitter. Scores can be broadcasted in real time. Player updates can be published as they happen. News can be conveyed as quickly as they transpire.
Corporate meetings transmitting their minutes to stockholders all over the world, again in real time.
Software developers providing updates of a digital product in development, yet again in real time.
Twitter can be as prominent and as ubiquitous as emails, instant messaging systems, and even SMS. This is what makes it a great tool that internet marketers are just beginning to exploit.

Your Downline's Success Is Your Success
By: Tsuyoshi E. Suzuki
Network marketing is not by any means a get rich quick scheme. If you're looking for a way to make vast amounts of money in a very short time then you should probably consider crime or gambling, but I wouldn't advise either! It is an amazing industry and it has changed so many lives. It is a business that combines direct selling of products and/or services with recruiting of sales representatives. Network marketing businesses function by recruiting salespeople to sell a product or service and then offer additional commissions based on the sales of people recruited into a downline (a team of people that includes direct recruits as well as the recruits of those recruits, etc.).
Network marketing Businesses can help you achieve your goals. But you have to have the desire and commitment to your business if you want to succeed. Business cards are always a good method and more inexpensive than one realizes.
MLM has a bad reputation - it’s a fact. It operators claim they're not operating a pyramid scheme. It is an industry with tremendous power, a bright future and excellent earning posiblities. It also creates a lot of jobs and employment. Your prospect will want to be assured that they will be representing a good product that people want. Products and services are passed directly from the manufacturer to the consumer, bypassing all the middlemen. The savings are paid to teams of distributors in the form of bonuses and retail profit.
MLM is business where you can earn two ways. You can promote the product or the service that is directly linked to your business. It is very attractive, however, because it sells hope and appears to be outside the mainstream of business as usual. It promises wealth and independence to all.
Remember the team concept, your downline's success is your success, you will all profit together. If something has been successful with you share, and encourage your team members to share their successes with their downline. Internet and network marketing are inseparably related today. The phenomenal growth of the Internet has been a great boost for those trying to establish a network marketing business of their own.
Success requires a business owner to build a large network of people who buy and sell products/services and recruit others who'll do the same. The internet now enables network marketers to build national and international businesses from the comfort of their home. Successful individuals are those who have learned to swim against the current, to do the things that others refuse to do. They have learned how to work together for the benefit of the entire group. Success in sales makes use of all the abilities one is born with, plus all those acquired through education and experience.

3 Tips to improve your RSS marketing
by Allan Burns
You have created an RSS feed, or maybe you have several feeds and you post at least once a week to keep your RSS subscribers interested. So now you can sit back and watch your hit counter tally up all those extra visitors. Well you may think you have finished but there are a few things you can do to improve things still further.
1. Let browsers and search engines know you have an RSS available.
To do this you need to add a line of HTML to every page that has a link to your RSS feed. The link will be:
link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="title" href="http://www.site.com/rss.xml"
This line will need to be enclosed by angled brackets and placed between your HEAD tags of your page. Once you have done this some search engine bots and web browsers such as Firefox will know you have an RSS feed available.
2. Submit your RSS feed to the RSS and Blog directories.
Like you would submit your site to search engines you can submit your site to RSS specific directories. This will give your RSS greater exposure to an audience that is already interested and educated about the benefits of RSS. This is a list of Alexa ranked RSS directories and another can be found here.
3. Announce that your RSS feed has been updated.
Every time you add a new item to your RSS feed you can announce it to the world, or at least many of the RSS directories. To do this you need to ping each service. If you are using Blogging software your software is probably already doing this for you , check your documentation.
For those of you who do not have software set up to automatically ping for you there is no need to worry. There is a free service at Ping-o-matic that will do this for you.

How To Use Your Blog to Market Your Business
By: Biana Babinsky
Have you just started blogging? Or have you been blogging for a while? As you may already know, a blog is an excellent tool to let the world know about your business or your product, to connect with potential customers and promote your expertise. But how can you maximize your blog's impact? Here are five tips to do just that:
- Blog Consistently. Many business owners get excited about blogging, post 3-6 times, and then promptly forget about the blog. I have seen many blogs that were started a year or two ago, have a grand total of five posts, and haven't been updated since sometime last year.
To get the desired effect (search engine and human traffic), you need to update your blog on a regular basis. Search engines love new content and keep coming back to index it. Potential customers also like new content; it's what keeps them coming back to read your blog.
- Use Your Blog For Branding. Your blog is an extension of your business, so make your blog have a look and feel that mirrors that of your business web site.
If your blog is hosted on the same domain as your web site, you should match the look and feel of your web site exactly. This will be more difficult to achieve if a third party provider hosts your blog. However, you should still aim to present the same brand image.
- Use Search Engine Optimization To Optimize Each Blog Post. The purpose of your blog is to get people who are in your target market to read your posts and enter your sphere of influence. Traffic from search engines does not cost any money, and it is a great way to get potential customers to your blog.
Treat each one of your blog posts as a separate file to be optimized for search engines. Use a keyword research tool to find phrases that are related to the main subject of the post, and weave them into the content of the post.
- Have A Special Offer On Your Blog. Do you offer a free special report? Do you offer a mini course as a bonus for new newsletter subscribers? Add the offer to your blog. This will transform people from casual surfers who just happened to find your blog to newsletter subscribers.
- Share Information About Your Events, Products and Seminars. You might think that everyone has already heard about your upcoming teleclass on life and work balance or your e-book about achieving financial success. Not so! The person reading your blog might be hearing about you for the very first time, so they have no idea about your teleseminars or products unless you specifically tell them.
Avoid overselling, as it will dramatically reduce the number of your blog readers. Do, however, let your blog readers know about your seminars and products. If you don't tell them, nobody will.
A blog is an excellent tool to generate additional web site traffic, get new newsletter subscribers and sell more products. Use your blog to introduce potential customers to your business.

A Strong Business History

Laziest Way To Make Real Money Online. I'm Not Kidding You - See Proof Here! http://tinyurl.com/ynmrk7
Businesses that have made a difference are the ones that have been able to stand the test of time. Even though you’re just starting your business/home business, there are some things you can do to build a strong business history with a positive image and secure future success. First, you must do things correctly and legally, following all the rules, and don’t cut corners in order to give yourself the upper hand or to make quick money.
Organization is a key to success, so keep things structured in your home business and maintain detailed records. There are many important aspects of keeping precise records of your financial dealings, not the least of which is avoiding a major pain at tax time and keeping yourself clear of IRS audits. It can be difficult if not impossible to claim some of the tax breaks your company is entitled to if you don’t keep clean financial records. Some companies stay so close to the black line, that it can be those tax deductions that help turn a profit for the year. Business experts advise keeping your records for a minimum of three years.
Keeping track of your business transactions doesn’t have to be complicated or terribly technical. For many years, businesses have managed record keeping through a simple system of writing down all transactions and putting them into some sort of file. You can do the same, or if you’re more comfortable with using a computer and software then you can use that to make your record keeping for your home business even easier. As computer files can be lost in a system crash or even accidentally erased, take the time once a month or so, to make backup files of all your important records. If you are in charge of more than one business, be sure to keep separate records for each.
And, don’t count totally on your account, although at times it’s unavoidable. It is in your best interest, as a business owner, to at least have a working knowledge of the books as anyone could fall victim to a less-than-scrupulous accountant. The more you know about your business’s records, the less likely you are to become someone’s prey. Besides, with the knowledge and ability to take care of your books, you can cut back on what is oftentimes a very expensive bit of payroll. Always act in a professional manner, no matter the situation and create skilled business ties at the beginning of your venture, so that inquiries regarding your home-based business operation can be answered in a positive light.
Day to day operations can create a “can’t see the forest for the trees” mentality. So, if you have the records and an easy system with which to look back over your numbers, you’ll never have to rely on your feelings or memory to gage how well your business or home-based business is doing.

Laziest Way To Make Real Money Online. I'm Not Kidding You - See Proof Here! http://tinyurl.com/ynmrk7
Businesses that have made a difference are the ones that have been able to stand the test of time. Even though you’re just starting your business/home business, there are some things you can do to build a strong business history with a positive image and secure future success. First, you must do things correctly and legally, following all the rules, and don’t cut corners in order to give yourself the upper hand or to make quick money.
Organization is a key to success, so keep things structured in your home business and maintain detailed records. There are many important aspects of keeping precise records of your financial dealings, not the least of which is avoiding a major pain at tax time and keeping yourself clear of IRS audits. It can be difficult if not impossible to claim some of the tax breaks your company is entitled to if you don’t keep clean financial records. Some companies stay so close to the black line, that it can be those tax deductions that help turn a profit for the year. Business experts advise keeping your records for a minimum of three years.
Keeping track of your business transactions doesn’t have to be complicated or terribly technical. For many years, businesses have managed record keeping through a simple system of writing down all transactions and putting them into some sort of file. You can do the same, or if you’re more comfortable with using a computer and software then you can use that to make your record keeping for your home business even easier. As computer files can be lost in a system crash or even accidentally erased, take the time once a month or so, to make backup files of all your important records. If you are in charge of more than one business, be sure to keep separate records for each.
And, don’t count totally on your account, although at times it’s unavoidable. It is in your best interest, as a business owner, to at least have a working knowledge of the books as anyone could fall victim to a less-than-scrupulous accountant. The more you know about your business’s records, the less likely you are to become someone’s prey. Besides, with the knowledge and ability to take care of your books, you can cut back on what is oftentimes a very expensive bit of payroll. Always act in a professional manner, no matter the situation and create skilled business ties at the beginning of your venture, so that inquiries regarding your home-based business operation can be answered in a positive light.

Affiliate Internet Marketing - Finding Profitable Niches
The first step to take, is to find a lucrative market that is suitable for affiliate marketing. More experienced marketers know how to spot the right markets to go into. This ability doesn't come overnight. Expert marketers spend lots of time testing things out, and honing their ability to find good markets.
Affiliate marketing can help you target profitable markets with laser like accuracy. Make full use of affiliate marketing to promote products that you don't own. When a sale is completed, you earn a percentage of sale amount. If the traffic that you send doesn't convert, you earn nothing.
You don't risk much when you get involved with affiliate marketing. You usually start by generating traffic for the offer. All you need is a couple hundred visitors to determine whether the offer will convert well enough or not.
This is the best way to test a market. You don't need to spend a single cent on product development. If you find that an offer is converting strongly, simply swap the offer with a better one by developing your own product.
It all begins with affiliate marketing. If you like, you may even test different markets at one go. Very soon, you will be able to see for yourself, some concrete results - which market is lucrative with rapid buyers, and which market appears to be just luke warm.
Once that is over, just keep your eye on the profitable opportunities. Repeat the cycle again to make more profits.
Here is how you can scale your business - build a list of customers and sell to them again and again. Even though it sounds simple, some marketers are still not building a list.
Here is an example. Let's say you start off with just one product, and you sell it for $47. When you make a sale, you earn 47 bucks. If you make 10 sales, you make $470. To make more money, you have to acquire more customers. If you don't, you can't grow your business.
Make a quick assumption - you don't get any more new customers. Can you still grow your affiliate business? You can continue to develop more backend products. That means making more sales from your customer database. Each customer is worth more to you now.
A customer lifetime value is the amount of profits that you make from the same customer. For instance, an individual who spends $10,000 with you over the next 10 years has a lifetime value of $10,000.
Here is where it gets interesting. Now if you know that for every customer you acquire, you will earn an average of $2,000 during a customer's lifetime, how much would you spend to acquire that customer?
This is what many affiliate marketers are not doing enough of. They make one sale, then forget all about the customer. Think of ways to serve the same customer several times over. It's a downhill ride when you sell to people who already know who you are, and trust that you deliver.
Setup a simple squeeze page to capture the contact information and keep in contact with your customers. You will be making 3-4 times more than what you are earning now.

What It Takes To Find The Best Network Marketing Company
By: Brian Garvin And Jeff West
It seems that everybody wants to find the best network marketing company. There are countless opportunities to get involved. They all promise they are the best. What grabs each person’s attention is the promise of getting rich. At the very least most promise an above average income with the least effort. Some of these companies expect an investment. These investments can range from under one hundred dollars to thousands and more. Before parting with any money it is necessary to take a hard look at how the company is run.
For the person looking for the best network marketing company it will take some time and effort. Doing some background research is sensible. It is surprising how many people will take claims at face value. What they see is a bright and friendly website. However, it is a fact that as little as ten percent of all companies do not make it over the two year period. Even if a particular company does not ask for a large investment it is going to use up valuable time. This time could rather be spent with the best network marketing company.
It most certainly does help to appreciate the products or services being sold by the best network marketing company. There has got to be a special feature. Something extra that other companies are not already offering. It may come down to offering a lower price. To have to compete for customers with a product or service that is the same as hundreds of others will be very difficult. Make certain that the company has products, services or prices that are unique. It is important to remember that a USA law states commission may not be paid based on recruits. The commission must be paid on the sale of products or services.
It is advisable to only consider as a best networking marketing company an institution that has been in business for at least five years. The company should also be willing to provide adequate training. The purpose of the training would be to get to know exactly how the company systems work. It should also promote all those who make the decision to partner with them. This attitude is good for the company and its partners. Knowing the company in-depth will make it easier to sell products or services. Knowing that a company has the best interest of its partners at heart is a worthwhile motivator.
A company that believes its partners will never experience bad times is perhaps not the most realistic of companies. The best network marketing company will acknowledge that times are tough before they get better. This caliber of company will also make it very clear how payment is made. Knowing the advantages of a reward system that is firmly in place will help any partner get through a difficult period. It can be seen that before any decision can be made there is a need to gather accurate information. The more that is known about a company the greater chance there is of choosing the right one.

Network Marketing Strategy; Generating More Income by Helping Others
By: Diep Tran
Many people and companies have abused the word network marketing in the past years that a lot of people will associate the word with something that is negative. Yet, if you take a look at the nature of network marketing, you will not find anything that is intrinsically bad about this system. Since the first network marketing company was introduced in the United States in the 1940’s, the network marketing strategy of most networking company have been consistent. The strategy is to distribute the products through local channels thereby saving on distribution cost and at the same time providing some alternative income for those people who would like to be an independent distributor of the product. Although there are some variations in the implementation of the network marketing strategy, the basic principles underlying the implementation thereof is still the same.
Distribution through local distributors
Network marketing aims at helping the manufacturers market their products to the end consumers via independent local distributors. By engaging local distributors to market the products of the company, the company is able to generate more income and save on distribution and advertising cost.
Most companies would spend thousands of dollars to promote their products through TV commercials and advertising, billboards and other forms of media. Promoting products and brands could cost the company a lot of money that a good portion of the cost that you pay for a certain product is actually added in to defray the advertising and promotion expenses. In some cases, as much as 20% of the cost of the product you buy goes to advertising and promotions. On the other hand, the distribution cost of the products would eat up to another 30% of the product cost. If you are wondering why a certain product that you buy in the supermarket could cost a lot of money, it is because of the advertising, promotion and distribution cost that is factored into the total product cost.
Since the network marketing strategy will do away the promotion and advertising cost by engaging local distributors to personally promote the products to the their friends, relatives and colleagues, the company will now be able to give the distributors big commissions. In most instances, the network marketing company will give the local distributors direct commissions of up to 30% of the sales generated by a local distributor.
On the other hand, when it comes to expanding the market reach of the product, the network marketing strategy that is employed is the member get member scheme whereby a certain member you is able to recruit a new member will be eligible to earn commissions on the sales generated by the new member that he or she has recruited. The good thing about the member get member scheme is that it does not stop on the person that you have directly recruited. In the event where the person you have recruited will recruit a new member, you will also earn commissions on the sales of that recruit. In most cases, the networking company will allow you to earn commissions up to the 8th level of recruits.

Article Marketing – Attract Millions Of Visitors To Your Site For Free
By: Pete Grundner
If you want to drive millions of people to your website annually without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so, you must become an expert in article marketing. This progressive, low cost marketing revolution is changing the face of advertising and public relations across the U.S., and indeed around the world. Before the dawn of the Internet, only companies with tens of millions of dollars set aside for marketing and advertising could make an impact on the psyche of an entire country. And where did all of those tens of millions of dollars go? To television, radio, newspaper, telemarketing and direct mail campaigns. Yes, these marketing vehicles are still effective, but they are losing their power hold month by month around the globe. Usage of traditional media is decreasing daily.
Article marketing (writing pivotal articles and publishing them online) can help build your site and your company in many significant ways. Not only you will drive astronomical numbers of visitors to your site, but you will also achieve a high level of credibility with your target audience, increase your Google ranking (which in turn will bring you lots of free advertising), and build your name in ways that only expensive PR firms were able to do in the past.
Why you ask? As already mentioned, people are increasingly turning to the Internet for information, entertainment, communication and shopping. According to InternetWorldStats.com, growth of Internet use in North America rose 106.7% from 2000 to 2005 alone.
Mega publishers and media outlets such as newspapers in major cities, network television and large radio syndicates used to have all the power. In the past, they dictated to the populous what we should be interested in. But the rise in consumer media has changed all that. Nowadays, people just want information about the issues that are of most interest to them. And since most people now turn to the Internet for answers, search engines now rule. What is the first thing you do when you want information? You go to your computer and type in your subject in a search engine such as Google, Yahoo or MSN. The goal of article marketing is to get people to click on one of your articles, and that article is hosted on your website of course! Once they are already on your site, your chances of engaging them with the rest of what you have to offer (and ultimately becoming a customer) goes up exponentially. The more you understand the logic behind search engine ranking systems, the more you can tweak your articles to garner the coveted higher positions in search results.
How much will this cost you? The good news is that article marketing is extremely low cost, and in many cases, totally free. You can achieve wide visibility of your articles with very little or no money at all. There are some inexpensive software packages (such as automated article submitters, etc) but these are generally low cost ($70-$300) and are not absolutely essential for success. Article submission software normally comes with a few hundred article "hubs" already installed (websites whose sole purpose is distribution of articles to thousands of other information sites). You can discover these hubs on your own, but it will take you much more time to find, test and learn to navigate each one. A simple rule - what you don't have in resources, you will end up investing in time.
Masterful Article Marketing can accomplish something even more important for you. When people find and are impressed with what you've written, you become an expert in their minds, which translates to a high level of credibility. And let us not forget that this respect is being nurtured in the minds of the exact demographic you seek to reach – you perfect target audience.
Another amazing benefit of publishing articles online is the free publicity that follows beyond the places you post. Well conceived, clearly written and smartly distributed articles can be as effective as press releases by top PR firms. Remember, the goal of successful marketing is increased business and profitability.
Increasing visitors to your site does something more for you – it improves your page ranking with the major search properties, which actually becomes free advertising for you. Search engines can see how much traffic each site has and rewards more highly visited sites with better ranking for articles housed on them. This is only one element in their alga rhythms, but an important one to keep in mind.
I have written extensively about the other secrets to super charging your articles for high positioning in search engines. Just remember, search engines are continually being tweaked to deliver the most relevant results to the information seeker.
In summary, there are many reasons why one should add article marketing to their advertising mix. Among these reasons are that article marketing is free, it drives tons of traffic, is highly valued with search engines and makes you an expert in the field. Bottom line, you can’t afford not use article marketing as part of your advertising.

Well conceived, clearly written and smartly distributed articles can be as effective as press releases by top PR firms. Remember, the goal of successful marketing is increased business and profitability.
Increasing visitors to your site does something more for you – it improves your page ranking with the major search properties, which actually becomes free advertising for you. Search engines can see how much traffic each site has and rewards more highly visited sites with better ranking for articles housed on them. This is only one element in their alga rhythms, but an important one to keep in mind.
I have written extensively about the other secrets to super charging your articles for high positioning in search engines. Just remember, search engines are continually being tweaked to deliver the most relevant results to the information seeker.
In summary, there are many reasons why one should add article marketing to their advertising mix. Among these reasons are that article marketing is free, it drives tons of traffic, is highly valued with search engines and makes you an expert in the field. Bottom line, you can’t afford not use article marketing as part of your advertising.

Sponsor More Reps | Magnetic Sponsoring will help you Sponsor more Reps by JM Dawson
Hello my name is Jeff Dawson from Summerville, SC. I am here to tell you exactly how to sponsor more Reps. I have tried a few MLM Companies in the past with not much success. I will be very honest with you..... My downfall was trying to get my downline to duplicate what I was doing. I found that I could always sponsor more reps... But, when it came to duplication it always fell apart. As anyone involved in the MLM industry knows. If you can not teach your downline to duplicate what you are doing and sponsor more reps you business will fail.
I walked away from MLM for many years until I came across a system called Magnetic Sponsoring. Magnetic Sponsoring has changed my life and helped me sponsor more reps than I ever thought possible. Not only did I sponsor more reps.... But, the quality of reps that I was sponsoring were top notch. It is very easy for me to teach my downline how to duplicate what I am doing because all of them were brought into my business through Magnetic Sponsoring.
Magnetic Sponsoring is a system that is so simple and duplicatable that anyone can do it. If you simply follow the guidelines that are set forth and teach your downline to follow those same guidelines it is pretty much impossible not to grow your organization to numbers that you never though possible.
I will make this very clear... I do not consider myself a great recruiter. I am 100% not a sales person. I simply studied and implemented the system that was put in place by Magnetic Sponsoring. I also take great pride in teaching others how to use the Magnetic Sponsoring System... It does not matter what MLM Company that you are involved with. Magnetic Sponsoring will have you Sponsoring more Reps in just a few days.
If you are ready to take your MLM Business to the next level simply go to http://jmdawson.info and sign up for the FREE 7 day video boot camp.

The $50 Billion Ponzi by Jamie Lee Hensley
What goes around comes around. If you are involved in multilevel marketing (MLM) or network marketing over the Internet, you might often hear detractors ridiculing your line of work as a scam or a sham. Certainly over the years there have been many direct marketing opportunities that have been less than legitimate. Many people turn up their noses at the idea of a home-based business and the concept of multilevel or network marketing.
These sentiments are reinforced by the aloofness of the Wall Street tycoons who feel that their brand of investing is the only legitimate form of wealth creation. In light of recent events, this would almost appear to be a humorous scenario except for the fact that millions of people have just lost billions of dollars. This all started with the meltdown of several Wall Street icons and the subsequent $700 billion bailout offer to them by the United States government. All of the economists that weighed in on the matter agree that this was a necessary step to prevent even worse financial conditions, but the small businessperson who is struggling with the economy and declining business revenues can seek no such bailout.
But something else has just come to light that is even more shocking and demonstrative of the true depth of the anarchy on Wall Street. Bernie Madoff, the one-time head of NASDAQ, was recently arrested and charged with massive fraud. It turns out that Mr. Madoff, who supposedly ran a huge and dynamically profitable hedge fund, had in fact constructed what is arguably the world's largest Ponzi scheme ever. In a Ponzi scheme, there is no real investment and no real value. Investors who get in early are paid by investors who come in later.
Such a scheme only works as long as people do not try to take their money out. Once withdrawals start to occur, the Ponzi pyramid collapses and the scam is exposed. In Mr. Madoff's case, he was able to avert this disaster for a number of years and quite illegally collected over $50 billion for his illicit scam. As the economy weakens, his investors became nervous and started withdrawing their funds. And that was the end of Mr. Madoff, as well as retirement savings for thousands of hard-working and honest people. He is now on house arrest--in his $7 million Manhattan apartment--awaiting trial. But the money is long gone.
The take away lesson here is that the only person who you can depend on for your future is you. You alone are responsible to understand your finances, and how they will impact your future, and to take steps to make sure that you will be able to live the life that you want to lead.
