Article Marketing - Three Tips To Using Articles To Promote Your Online Business
By: Angela Booth

If you've started an online business, you know that you need to promote consistently to get traffic and sales. Although there are many ways you can promote, article marketing delivers great, on-going results at minimal cost. In this article we'll look at the top three tips for using articles to market your business.Here they are:1. Post articles on article directoriesNot familiar with article marketing? Marketing using articles means offering free information as a form of advertising. Not only will your business become more widely known, it will also gain respect and credibility.Article marketing is a form of advertising, but it's much more effective than advertising, because when you stop paying for an ad, you lose traffic. Your articles stay online, and will bring traffic to your Web site for years.Once you've written an article, post it to article directories online. You can choose a general directory, or one which is more targeted to your audience.Over time, your articles will spread across the Web, bringing a flow of traffic. You won't see the full effects of your article publishing push for months, so it's important that when you start article marketing, you keep creating and publishing them - their effect on your site's traffic is cumulative.2. Post articles to your own Web sites and blogsIn addition to posting articles on article directories, post them to your site as well. This increases your site's content, and will boost your site in the search engine rankings.Before you start publishing your articles to your site, create a structure, so that your articles form a real resource for your site's visitors. Although you'll still get traffic if you just dump all your articles into an "Articles" directory, you'll get better results if you think about leading your site's visitors around your site to make a purchase or take other action when they arrive at one of your articles.After you've published an article on your site, don't move it elsewhere on your site unless it's absolutely necessary, because if you do, you'll break links which other sites have created to reference specific articles.3. Post article collections to sites like Squidoo and ScribdThe more backlinks (links pointing to your site) the better. There are many ways you can get more backlinks. One of the easiest ways is to post your articles on sites like Squidoo and Scribd.Squidoo allows you to create "lenses", one-page topic sites. Create several lenses on topics relevant to your site, and post article collections to these lenses, pointing back to your site. Not only are your lenses a source of backlinks, they're also a source of traffic.Squidoo is very popular; you can build a real community there, providing further support to your site.The Scribd site lets you put documents online, and make them public. Think of Scribd as YouTube for documents. Collect your articles into collections, and post them to Scribd. You can post your articles in a variety of formats: text, HTML, Adobe PDF, and more.As with Squidoo, you can build a community at Scribd when people make your documents favorites. Scribd will bring your site traffic, and will increase your backlinks too.So there you are - you now have three powerful ways in which you can use article marketing to promote your online business.

Internet Marketing – Things You Don't Need To Know

By: Gordon McAlpine

For some time now I have become disillusioned with running my own traditional style business. You know the one where you have to rent premises, pay rates, employ staff, keep large amounts of stock and a million of other time and financially consuming things. Anyway, a couple of months ago, I decided to investigate the possibility of starting my own internet business or as they say in the trade, become an internet marketer.

During my search of the net and on my many visits to literally hundreds of sites, I was cordially invited to join the many free courses and obtain numerous free newsletters. This was great, all this information was soon winging its way to me. However, it was only on further investigation that I realised that the newsletters were only telling me so much but to get the really important stuff I had to send money. Now don’t get me wrong, I am a realist, I know there is no such thing as a free lunch, but hey, if I was to buy everything that everyone suggested I must have and really needed, not to mention the $5,000 courses and seminars that only a true internet marketer should attend then a remortgage of the family home was inevitable. Not being the impulsive type I refrained from enrolling for every must have marketing item. And I am glad I did as you will discover later.

What I did find most interesting and very amusing was some of the Headlines of the many automated emails I received and I thought I would share some of these with you.

So here goes.

What if?

However, and what I mentioned earlier that you would discover later was during my investigations, I accidentally came across an excellent FREE eBook titled “Perpetual Profits” by Brian Campbell. This contained information which others were selling for $79 and upwards. I was so impressed with the content of the book I contacted Brian who kindly gave me his permission to distribute it. You can get your copy by visiting my website and I have attached a link below. Oh! and whilst you are there, sign up for my Newsletter. Only joking……

Happy marketing.

Succeed slowly at network marketing.
By: Daegan Smith

The common perception is that the hierarchical structure of network marketing looks like a pyramid scheme. And while pyramid schemes are illegal. To equate this to network marketing is simply not fair. The way the company is structured doesnít decide the organizationís legality. If at all the federal government would be like a pyramid.

The right kind of network marketing is legal since it entails marketing a product and the volume of products sold is what determines just how much amount of money the company (and consequently the distributor) makes.

In order to succeed in the network marketing business, you need to know what youíre getting into and have an idea of how much work it will entail to meet your goals. It may take a while, but starting slowly but surely will translate a much higher success rate than just plunging head first without prior thought whatsoever.

1.First you need to research on the company thatís recruiting you or you plan on joining. Since more than 90% of network marketing companies fail within a span of 2 years, it is only smart to avoid untested companies. Donít worry, there are plenty still to choose from since about 1 in 1000 network marketing companies are still standing after more than 5 years.

So in looking at a prospective network to join, youíre better off going with one that has a proven track record. Donít get swayed with the pitch new companies throw at you saying as one of the first people in the network, youíll achieve your financial goals in no time. Itís ok to be slow and steady so long as you know, your network wonít fold up on you at breakneck speed. Research resources in check out these companies can be found from the FTC (http://www.ftc.gov/) and several other online consumer resources.

2. It is important that your sponsor is someone you respect and trust. This person will be your trainer and coach. Even if youíre part of a good organization that offers good products, if your sponsor is someone you donít necessarily trust, being able to succeed may prove difficult. The sponsor is there to take care of you as you help the company grow. If you feel he is recruiting you simply to gain numbers for himself, then it may be wise to think twice about the venture. Besides, as you plan on building something long-term with this network, you might as well work with someone whom you like.

3. Check to see it you are required to secure permits. Although most companies will take care of sales tax and other similar matters, it is only smart to know for sure to be on the safe side.

4. Upon joining and receiving you kit, you are part of the network and of the business. So as part of the organization, make sure you know your products and can answer any questions about them. Best way to do this is to use them. Get to know the features but more importantly, the benefits it brings to the consumers. The most successful distributors are the ones who know everything about their products and are genuinely excited about them.

5. Listen to your sponsor and upline. Theyíve been at this business longer than you have and may know something that you donít right now. Great thing about network marketing is that the plans for success have already been paved. Although it doesnít mean you canít try out new ways and ideas, but if something works, why not start from that?

6. In starting off any venture, go out with a set of goals you want to achieve over a specific period of time. This will help pace yourself on how much effort you need to put in and it gives you a gauge to measure your work against.

7. Start forming you network by making a list of people you know. Include even those whom you feel you could ever go up to. If the company hosts party-style, youíd likely host an opening that will introduce your business to people. Other methods to promote your business are through printed collaterals like flyers and classified ads. Be ready to talk to people about your business. As you do your rounds, ask for referrals from clients and friends and if possible, participate in trade shows.

8. Finally, even if you can work from your home, treat this business as just that - a business. If you go out thinking this is just some hobby, the attitude will reflect in how you are seen by your clients and your downline. Remember, you are running a business backed by a reputable corporation so feel confident about this and that attitude will take you further.

While some will go for the get-rich-quick way, chances are very great that these will explode in their faces at the same pace that they went for it. Going slow may seem a lot of work but itís the smarter way to go. In time, as you build on your network and look after your downline as well as your clients, the benefits that network marketing brings will come to you with greater satisfaction.

Niche Marketing is About Less Traffic More Business
By Mark Kimathi

Imagine two shops that receives 100 customer each every day. Of these hundred customers 40 always find and buy what they need in each of these two shop. Of these 40 that buy 30 come from across the road where fewer people live. Imagine that one of these shops decides to relocate across the road to the smaller population to be nearer to her customers and serve them better. Obviously because of fewer people she attracts less customers to her shop. However because of the closer relationships the customers can now request for what they want stocked. As a result not only do all the customers to her shop buy, they buy more often. This is the power of niche-marketing.

Remember 'Differentiate or Die', a noble concept peddled not so long ago for survival of corporations? Online it is 'Niche or Die'. This is becoming increasingly critical for the small internet businesses.

Niche marketing is a simple concept that involves targeting very specific keywords and optimizing your website and internet marketing for those specific terms. This practice can help a business, even one in a very competitive online category, to gain an advantage in the search listings.

You probably have heard that the internet has leveled the playing field for businesses small or large; those with huge budgets and those with shoe string budgets. As much as this is true, you will quickly discover that no sooner than you have rolled out a Pay per Click campaign, that your moneyed competitors are willing to bid 10 times more than you can even afford - a strategy called loss leader. As an online business person you are ill-equipped to market to the high traffic keywords - read huge markets- both monetarily and capacity wise. Unless you like the feeling of your head cramped in a vice, you are better of targeting more low-traffic yet closely related keywords. Though the internet does give you access to these huge markets theoretically, you will be quickly overwhelmed trying to satisfy it.

As a small business, trying to fight for the same market as itunes.com or amazon.com is often suicidal. However you could provide exclusively East-African Music and compete very effectively with itunes or sell specifically motivational books and compete effectively with amazon. These smaller markets provide niches which as a small internet business you can not only satisfy but easily over-deliver. Niche markets may provide less traffic but when well structure they give you more business.

5 Steps to Start Making $1 a Day From Your Blog
By Thomas Sinfield

The hardest part about making money from your blog is actually to start making money.

The first major hurdle you need to jump is the $1 a day hurdle. Making that elusive $1 a day is much harder than people think, but I believe if you take these few simple steps you will be well on your way to making $1 a day.

1. Make Sure Your Niche Is Something You Enjoy
Personally I have found it so much easier making money from blogs that I enjoy writing for. I know a lot of experts are telling people to pick the high paying keywords to target, I think it is a whole lot easier - and enjoyable to make money from a blog that is based on a topic you are interested it.

Blogging in a niche you are interested in and enjoy means that you will be more committed, write more content and be much more diligent with your promotion techniques.

2. Write, Write, and Write Some More
If you want to start making money quickly, you need to have a reason for people to visit your website. The more content you have, the more reasons you are giving people to visit your blog. Make sure you content is keyword targeted. A Fantastic product I use to find traffic driving, targeted keywords is Micro Niche Finder, it's not free but pays itself off very quickly.

Micro Niche Finder lets you find the keywords that are not only have high search counts, but also low competition.

3. Promote Your Content
Notice how I said 'Promote Your Content' NOT 'Promote Your Blog'?

This is because we are looking for high traffic quantities - that are targeted. Let me ask you a question: When you are looking to find out something on the internet what do you search for?

The Keyword or Phrase

Most people don't necessarily look for a website when searching the internet, they search for content. So what we need to do is make sure our now keyword targeted content is being promoted effectively. This is best done through article marketing.

Article submission is highly effective. I have had one of my articles receive over 10,000 views and 1,600 clicks!

4. Monetize Your Blog

This is where a lot of bloggers fail. They don't know how to monetize a new blog properly. Most start by trying to sell their 125×125 ad spaces or text link ads, but who wants to buy an ad spot on a brand new blog that has no traffic history?

I have tested a fair few different methods on new blogs and my current favourite way to monetize a new blog is Google Adsense. The reason I have recently started loving Adsense is:

* You don't have to go looking for advertisers

* You get paid per click (Don't have to wait for sales)

* Easy to get accepted into Adsense

* Reasonable Payout Leves

5. Optimize Ad Placement
I think the reason that most people do not make money from Adsense is because they have choose the wrong ad sizes and put them in the wrong spot. I am not saying my ad placement is perfect, as I know there are still ways to improve on the ad placement, but there are a few simple ways that you can improve your CTR to over 10%.

I think if you put these 5 steps into motion you will be well on your way to earning atleast $1 a day from your blog. You can then start pushing for $5 a day, then $10, and building it up until you are making a full-time income online.

The Quick and Easy Way To Write Free Reprint Articles by Daegan Smith

Publication of these articles is a way to help the writers, advertisers, publishers and webmasters as they go about their business in the Internet.

Free reprint article means you are allowing publishers to publish your articles on their site, newsletters and ezines provided that they follow your Terms of Reprint. If they do not, you are in the position to ask for a cash payment for your article used. The Terms of Reprint is found on the top of the article.

One thing you have to guard yourself of, as a writer, is the illegal use of your article. This is why your Terms of Reprint is very important. This protects you as a writer and sole owner of the article from plagiarists and those who illegally posts or use your articles. It ensures that you will enjoy your pay for all the hard work, not monetarily speaking though, but through promotional ways like the ìresource boxî attached at the very end of your article. This helps in generating traffic to the authorís website and a probable increase in sales for his own online business.

The Terms of Reprint are often very liberal in nature so anybody in his right mind can follow through. Remember, you were the one who sweat it out on your article, spend 12 hours doing it only to find out you cannot benefit a single from it. Hmmm!!!

Aside from the cash payment you may get from those who have improperly used your article, you can also call the attention of the webhost carrying the site where your article is illegally posted. The Terms of Service of most webhost have policies that prohibit plagiarism or contents obtained illegally. The webhost has the authority to officially shut down that site.

Who benefits from your articles?

ï WRITER. You as a writer benefit from your articles through the resource box you provide at the end of each article. Plus all benefits including getting published, free publicity, image as an expert, establish lasting contacts and increase traffic.
ï WEBMASTER. Free content to build strong keywords for ratings is what webmasters are looking for. Thus, it is very important for them that articles are informative and useful.

ï ADVERTISER. These people are on the lookout for websites with good, steady flow traffic where they can advertise their products. Free content and articles can provide them with these through the links attached at the bottom of each. If advertisers see that articles are posted to several good sites then they will advertise on these sites and yours. This is a way to have a good return of investment for advertisers.

ï EZINE PUBLISHER. Of course, any publisher would want good quality articles in his newsletter or publication to drive in more visitors and maintain the regulars.

ï END USER/READERS. Internet surfers come in categories ñ students, internet marketers, online businessmen, educators, etc. All of these people have reasons why they need information about certain topics but everyone has one common reason why ñ to learn.

Enough of the benefits, you may know all the good it will do to you but you got to start somewhere, right? What you need to know is how to do it. Here are quick, easy, anyone-can-do-it-ways you need to follow to start your pen writing now.

1. Gather your ideas, establish the main idea and focus. Articles that you will produce must have strong relevance to your website because this will direct readers, potential visitors, to your site. This is why you should create informative articles to which everybody can learn from.

Make your articles to two parts. Put the first part on other sites with the NEXT link at the bottom. The second part will be on your own site.

2. List down five or more key points and provide explanation for each. These points should give the core information you think needed by readers. How-to articles most often use this method to explain steps in doing something.

3. Simple introduction that captures and summarizes what you will cover in your article is required. Readers will know instantly if the information they need is included in the article then they would continue reading.

4. After a capturing introduction, end your article with a blast. Summarize all the main points and bring your article to a natural close. A tip would be to review some articles in an article directory and study how authors end their articles.

5. After you have formed the body of your article, except with some minor revisions perhaps, you can now add a catchy, attention grabbing title. The formulation of a good title is important because this is where you can generate visitors to your site. Publishers scan titles of articles, choose several that grab their attention and post it on their publications and ezines.

6. Be conscious of the length of your articles. Usually, most publishers accept 500-700 words with a ceiling of 1,000 words. An articleís quality is not dependent on the number of words but on the content and information it provides.

7. Have your own resource box. This is the reason why you wrote your article in the first place ñ to promote your site, products or services. Do not waste it. This is the only pay you will get from your article. See to it that you make it simple, devoid of any promotional words, avoid an obvious advert and include only one link to avoid confusion.

A resource box is a bio information, you state your name, contact details, perhaps a sentence about that presents yourself as an expert to establish credibility and a sentence about your site with the link.

Do all these and you are ready to go on your way to being popular even just in the web.

Tips For Decorating Your Home Office

Finally, Even Newbies Can Be Successful! Free Information, Tools And Resources. http://tinyurl.com32obsu

Laziest Way To Make Real Money Online. I'm Not Kidding You - See Proof Here! http://tinyurl.com/ynmrk7


Because of the other expenses involved in operating a business, those who are just starting a home-based business may feel that decorating the office seems like an unaffordable extravagance that can wait until you become rich from your business. However, your home office is where you will be spending an inordinate amount of time and, the way you feel when you’re working can make a difference in productivity.

Most will not be able to afford a professional decorator or organizer to come into their home office and put everything in its place, creating a friendly, inviting atmosphere. A vast majority of home business owners will be doing the work themselves or with the help of a spouse or children. For the fortunate ones that have a separate room in which to set up their office, the task is much easier. Others will have to carve out a space from the family living area in which to work privately and without interruption.

The ones with a separate room for their home-based business can start from scratch by emptying the room of all items, including furniture and pictures. You may decide to paint the walls to create an atmosphere more conducive for work and, the color will be an individual choice. However, light colors or earth tones have been shown to provide a better work environment and to reduce stress and spark creativity.

You can then make a floor plan on a plain piece of paper to determine where each item and piece of furniture will go so that your home-based business office is organized and everything is easily accessible, including your office chair. You can also create a materials flow chart to help with placement of the office equipment. Then follow the plan when you put the furniture back into the room. There may be some pieces that won’t fit, such as beds or dressers that were in a former bedroom, but they don’t belong in your office. So, consider storing these pieces in your basement, garage or a storage unit or selling them or giving them to charity.

You may need a file cabinet and the top can be used to hold your phone, fax machine or copier and if you have one machine that performs all these functions, the top of a file cabinet can be an ideal spot and space saver. You can use an open book case for storage of office supplies as well as books concerning your business. Be sure nothing unrelated to your home business is allowed on the shelves in your work space. Consider a traditional office when deciding what to place in your home-based business office. Keep it professional. A few favorite pictures on the wall can improve the working environment as well as a potted plant, just to add some ambience to an otherwise sterile work center.

If you don’t know much about online internet business opportunities, you’re not alone, as there are many people who don’t understand how to make money online. If you have a computer and an internet connection, you can run your own home-based business. Since so many people are already set up, the cost of buying a computer and getting an internet connection is eliminated.

There are countless opportunities for those who want to work from home by using their computer. While some of these may not be legitimate, there are many that will allow you to run your own business and set your own work hours. As more and more people begin to use the internet to purchase goods, locate information and to find entertainment, the growth of internet business will continue. New online, internet business opportunities are always available to those who are willing to research, market, and supply quality goods and services to those who need them.

If you have always wanted to open a store, but you don’t have the money to pay for a retail space, equipment, and employees, you can open an online virtual store and sell your goods. All you need to do is take orders and ship them on time. If you have a spare room or garage, you will be able to store items until they need to go out. Many people support themselves by selling items online through their web sites. Setting up a site is not difficult and you can begin to make money very quickly. If you don’t know how to set up a site, you can hire someone to do it for you. You’ll need to advertise your business in order for people to be able to find your web site, and once you have a solid customer base, you can make money every month. If you don’t want to store items, there are companies you can associate with that drop ship for you.

Internet business opportunities are not limited to selling items online. You can offer content and join affiliate programs and more without having to sell anything. If you don’t want to be responsible for shipping items, you can offer your services. If you have writing, editing, design, or computer programming skills, you can start an online business. This is an exciting opportunity to use your skills and make money doing so. Since the internet is not gong to disappear any time soon, you have the opportunity to make money for a long time. If you grow tired of running your own business, you can just shut it down and do something else. This is a very good opportunity for retirees and those who don’t have a lot of money for start up costs.

Retaining A Business Lawyer Is A Good Idea

Some people who start their own company think they can save money by not having a business lawyer on hand. This is not a good practice, because you could end up in a situation that requires law expertise, and you could be pushed into making a hasty decision regarding an attorney, and that could be more costly in the long run.

A good business lawyer will know all the legalities related to owning and operating a company or home-based business in your state and, s/he will be able to assist you in making the correct decisions for your enterprise.

You should acquire a lawyer with whom you’re comfortable as early into your business endeavor as possible. Having an attorney that you know and trust will give you piece of mind should anything occur that requires legal assistance.

A business-minded lawyer is going to consider the size of your company, the most cost effective procedures to take and timing in regard to certain issues, as well as negotiate deal points, give you recommendations for structural changes to better serve your needs and work with you regarding any changes to your business plan.

Your lawyer should always be available to you, and if at any time you don’t feel that person has your best interest at heart, you should find someone else. Your attorney and his or her staff should return phone calls, be completely forthright with all documents prepared for you and provide you with copies, be prompt in their actions and they must do what they say in a timely manner within the laid out timeline.

Following are a few questions to pose before retaining an attorney:
1. How long have you been practicing law?
2. Have you represented companies like mine?
3. How do you charge legal fees, and exactly what expenses am I charged for?
4. What experience do you have with tax matters?
5. What advice do you give to lessen the chance of litigation?

Having a business lawyer on hand can save you time and money and afford you a better outcome with possible litigation issues.

Best Article Marketing - Latest 4 Simple Steps to Jumpstart Your Article Marketing

Sean R Mize

If you are just starting out in internet marketing and currently looking for the best marketing and product promotional tool, I highly recommend article marketing. This is an effective internet tool that can help you drive quality traffic to your website, pull up your search engine ranking, and boost your sales and revenue without burning your pockets. You just have to write and submit articles to publishing sites to inform or educate online users so they will know that you are an expert on your chosen niche.

Here are the latest 4 simple steps to jumpstart your article marketing:

1. Choose the most appropriate topics for your articles. You need to write about topics that can attract the people who are most likely to get interested on what you offer. So, if you are selling sunglasses, you must focus on writing articles about sunglasses. To obtain great topic ideas, you may use a keyword suggestion tool that can help you identify the keywords that are usually being used by your potential clients when looking for information about sunglasses. These could be replica sunglasses, designer sunglasses, cheap sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, etc. Write articles around these keywords so you can give your potential clients with that they truly need - information and drive them to your website afterwards.

2. Register on all major article submission sites. To give your articles the exposure they need and to augment the number of your inbound links, take advantage of all the leading article submission sites and post your article on them. Make sure that you follow all the rules set by the publishers so you can minimize or eliminate the chances of your articles being rejected.

3. Learn the ropes of creating a killer resource box. To easily compel your readers to check on your website, make sure that you use a resource box that is truly enticing and attention-grabbing. It must contain your information such as your name, your website's URL, your expertise, and the problems that you solve. It must also contain a powerful call to action and a compelling elevator pitch.

4. Write more. In order to excel in this marketing technique, you have to understand that article marketing is a game of numbers. You can easily set yourself apart from the rest by multiplying the number of your articles and submissions so you can strengthen your online presence and boost the number of your inbound links.

List Building - How To Amass An Overflowing List Of Subscribers From Coregistrations

By Fabian Tan


Coregistrations are not really a new strategy in the Internet marketing and list building arena. It has been around for some time.

Have you ever signed up for Hotmail? Did they offer you additional newsletters to sign up for during the sign up process? That's coregistration at work. Companies place their ads there to get more subscribers for their newsletters.

You can also use coregistrations in your own business to generate tons of subscribers. There are a few types of coregistrations:

1. Bulk Coregistration Leads

Bulk coregistration leads are the least responsive of all. They are usually a bunch of general leads compiled by lead brokers and sold at what seem like unbelievable prices of $0.01 each. They are that cheap because the leads are often unresponsive. I'd avoid these whenever I can because they can also lead to tons of spam complaints.

2. Joint Venture Coregistrations

This process generates targeted leads. How it works is this: You advertise the squeeze page of your joint venture partners on your Thank You page or Download page, and he does the same on his pages for your offer. The result is you both help each other build a list.

3. Live Coregistration Leads

Live coregistration leads can be responsive as long as you don't send them blatant ads but instead send them quality free information in the beginning. An example of a reputable live coregistration leads provider is Get Subscribers. It has some of the more responsive coregistration leads around. Although it is a little pricey, the leads that are generated are genuine and they do respond to your emails.

When you decide to advertise your business, you need to select the proper medium. You need to be very careful with every dollar, if you have a small business or home-based business. So, choose an advertising method that gives you the most return on your investment. You want an advertising campaign that will translate into greater sales, more profits and a better bottom line.

There are three important aspects you need to consider when selecting an advertising medium—your targeted customers, the best way to reach them, and the affordability of your chosen medium. There is no one method of media advertising that works for all businesses. Consider some of the advantages of the following to determine which method is best for your business or home business.

A universal medium that you can use is radio, which is enjoyed by most people at some point during each day. Since there is a wide array of radio programs you can easily target your advertising campaign to a specific group of consumers or a certain geographic area. Radio allows you to add personality to your advertising campaign with sound and voiceover. You can often get free creative help and you may be able to negotiate your rates to accommodate your business/home business budget. In addition, there has been less inflation in radio rates over the last few years than in other forms of media marketing.

If you want your advertising campaign to reach a large number of people on the national or regional level then television is an excellent medium. With independent stations and cable you have the opportunity to pinpoint your local audiences. You can convey your business message through sight, sound and motion, which gives you an image-building and visual medium in which to advertise your business and services.

With direct mailing you can send messages to your buyer in the forms of catalogs or other literature such as sales letters and brochures. This method allows you to target those who are most likely to use your product or service, and you can personalize your marketing message, which can increase the positive response of your prospective clients. You can easily measure the effectiveness of customer response to your campaign while maintaining complete control over the presentation of your advertising message. Direct mail makes it more difficult for competition to react to your marketing campaign.

Finally, there is telemarketing, which can introduce your company to schedule appointments. This allows you to easily interact with potential customers, answer any questions or concerns they may have, and it allows you to easily connect with people. Compared to direct sales this is a very cost-effective method and the results can be easily measured. If you properly structure you script you can get a lot of information to your prospects. You can outsource in order to minimize your set-up cost, improve customer relations and to maintain contact with your existing customers.

Blog Posts And Links Last Forever: What It Means To You
By: T. Detty

Blogs and links are very closely related to each other. It is the almost natural ability of blogs to rapidly link to one another that has caused these web logs (as they were first called) to quickly rise in prominence to what they are today. As you read this virtually all the growth on the World Wide Web is being driven by blogs.

The other key advantage that links and blogs enjoy is that they both last virtually forever once they are up and running on the web. This is a huge advantage and it is important for every webmaster and blog owner to fully understand the full implications of this.

For starters it means that once your blog or link is up and running, it will continue to generate traffic for you, slaving away on your behalf for many years to come. What’s more, links and blog posts that contain links hardly require any maintenance once they are up and running.

Only those who at one time have had to deal with the endless headaches of offline marketing and referral tools like sales persons or newspaper ads will begin to appreciate the huge plus that links and blogs bring to any online business using them as marketing channels. They will quickly understand the fact that most offline tools usually come with endless complications and a constant need for attention, repeated investment, and endless supervision and maintenance.

The facts are that apart from not requiring most of these things, blogs and links will last for many years on the World Wide Web giving a webmaster continuous service and an endless flow of valuable leads and traffic. This in itself makes them big winners.

Links have an added advantage over blogs. And that is the fact that they can be purchased which means that you can acquire a large number within a short time. You pay once and keep them forever working for you and your site.

Increase Sales to YOUR online business by driving targeted interested visitors to your site who have read your related article. Professionally Written Article distributed to OVER 300+ of the most popular article sites with our exclusive Article Marketing Service adds a boost to your website traffic! Interesting, informative, professionally written content articles also helps improve your search engine ranking in addition to the targeted traffic and high quality permanent web links that you need!

Are You A Workaholic

If people are always commenting on the amount of time you spend working or you find yourself constantly thinking about your work, then you may be a workaholic, and you might need to change the way you approach this dilemma so that you can relax and reduce the stress in your life. Regardless of where you work, from home or not, putting in long hours soon becomes counter productive and emotionally unfulfilling.

Even though you may be extremely behind working ten or twelve hours a day may not help you catch up, since there will always be more for you to accomplish. Learning to break this routine will take time and discipline, although with a little practice, you’ll be able to find a balance between your work and the other components of your life.

One step you can take toward reducing the amount of time you spend working is to limit yourself to an eight-hour day, if you work at home. So, create a schedule and stick to it to prevent burnout. If you work for someone else, you may need to restructure your time and prioritize your duties in order to complete things without having to put in longer days. With a demanding job, consider not volunteering to complete tasks that are not your responsibility and delegating to others. This should reduce the amount of time spent at the office.

Another thing you can do is stop taking your work home with you. While some exceptions can be made, as a rule, you should leave all work at the office and forget about it until the next day. If you work at home, shut off your computer, leave your office and close the door, do some household chores or take a walk to unwind after your eight-hour day.

Finally, you can relax when not working by visiting friends, taking up a hobby, or taking a nap. There are plenty of activities you can engage in when not at work. Instead of focusing on what’s left to do, focus on what you’re presently involved in and stay in the moment and enjoy it, as you can never retrieve that time.

Being able to strike a balance between work and other parts of your life will not always come easy, however being a workaholic is very unhealthy emotionally, physically, and intellectually. You will be more productive when you give yourself a chance to relax each evening and on the weekends.

Build A Strong Business History

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 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 a quick buck.

Be organized and keep detailed records, as organization is a key to success. 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. If you don’t keep clean financial records, it can be difficult if not impossible to claim some of the tax breaks your company is entitled to. Some companies ride 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 too technical. For many years, businesses have managed record keeping through a simple system of writing and filing. 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 even easier. However, computer files can be lost in a system crash or even accidentally erased. Be sure to take the time, once a month or so, to make backup files of all your important records. If you are in charge of a second business, make sure you keep those records separate.

Day to day operations can create a “can’t see the forest for the trees” mentality. 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 is doing. 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. 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 operation can be answered in a positive light.

Are You Ready For Your Own Home Business?

Even though starting your own business and setting yourself free from the soul crushing 8-5 workaday world sounds like the perfect thing for you, this might be the time to take a closer look at yourself and make sure you have the tools and resources necessary to make this change. As enticing as it may seem, the simple fact is that not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Before you take the big leap of quitting your job, take the time to soul search and be sure that running a business or home-based business is the right path for you.

You need to have some sense of the amount of money it will take to start your business. Even if your plans are limited to a simple website, you will need capital to produce your product, and you will need money to market the business. And know also that most businesses do not make money in the first year or so of operation. So, you’ll need to have enough money saved to support yourself and your family in the meantime.

Be sure you’re not starting a business for the wrong reason. Some people think that self-employment, particularly when it involves a home business, is like winning the lottery. They picture a world where they work one or two hours a day and then go out and play on the beach or crash on the couch to watch television. This is a huge mistake. If you think you work too many hours now, just wait until you own your own business. Entrepreneurship takes more hours in a week than you put into your day job in two. Now, of course, if your small business consists of something you have a passion for and love doing, you’ll be fine. Just don’t be under the misguided impression that running your own business will free up plenty of time to play video games or whatever, especially in the beginning.

You’ll also have other things to consider before taking that big step into self-employment, like a business plan and advertising money, among others. If you’ve satisfied yourself regarding the aforementioned concerns, you’re probably ready to take the plunge. On the other hand, if you’ve decided it’s not for you, don’t despair. There’s nothing wrong with a steady 8-5 and the benefits that go with it.

One of the questions, found on just about every application for any job in America, is that regarding self-motivation. When you’re thinking of starting your own business, you must decide whether or not you are truly self-motivated, and you must be honest with yourself. If you’re the type that must be gently nudged to do necessary things, then self-employment is not for you. The cultivation and operation of a small business is entirely dependant on the work you put into it. No one is going to hold your hand or tell you what to do. It will all be up to you. Be sure you’re a self-motivator before you take on the task of a home-based business.

Three Common Mistakes Many Authors Make Before Submitting Their Contents to Article Directories

By:

Article writing, submissions, publications and blogs are getting popular because with modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers.

Submission tools abound that authors and marketers can use to make the process of submitting their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, it's only half of the process.

Here are three common mistakes many authors make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits in using them for promotion; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization strategy.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. Your article must be focused on a topic to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them if they aren't.

The first goal is to get people to read your article, the next is to get them to click on your resource box. Providing focused content will help you achieve these goals.

2. Overlooking all the promotional opportunities of article marketing for maximum results.

First of all your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. Most marketers already know this. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from those same articles?

How do you get more visitors and better search engine results?

Mention keywords at strategic places. Just be sure not to overdo them. A keyword density of 3-5% is an optimum percentage. Some directories support anchor texts which is effective. It's important to note as of this writing that majority of the directories are not able to support anchor text links. If you plan on using anchor texts you'll have to determine which directories will accept your submissions. Otherwise use a plain text url such as this. http:///www.yourdomain.com

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work.

Better search engine results also are great benefits. But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings. Not just increase the number of visitors to your site.

Start out with a plan. Make a list of all the different ways you can put that article to work for you and all the purposes it serves. One guru I know makes his articles work in 20 different ways or he doesn't use it. How many ways can you come up with?


3. Publishing content that is not useful for your readers.

Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site. And any visitors it can generate is just a bonus.

THAT couldn't be farther from the truth. Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Each of them have guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting. You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight.

Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time writing quality useful content.

Free Internet Home-Based Business Concept

Is it possible that there is such a thing as a free home-based Internet business? We are taught all through life that nothing worthwhile is free, that everything costs something, and that holds true of almost everything in life, especially business concepts. That doesn’t mean that a free home-based Internet business doesn’t exist. However, there are other costs involved besides start up capital. In any business, Internet or otherwise, advertising is necessary for public visibility. Of course, there are sites that offer free advertising, but you probably want to choose advertising that is more apparent to prospects, depending on the concept of your home business and what you hope to gain from it.

There are many free home-based Internet business opportunities available, but you must consider more than cash outlay when you use the term “free.” Even if the capital expenditure for start up is non-existent, and you locate some free advertising sites that work well for you, you’re still using your time and energy to develop the marketing plan and to do the advertising. The time you expend performing these tasks is still a part of a monetary contribution although it’s indirect. After all, you’re not making money during the time you spend developing a client base and advertising your business. So even though you are not actually paying fees, this time and energy translates into funds that you’re not earning.

Another thing you want to understand before you embark on a free home-based Internet business is that what is free may not be the business that is going to allow you to earn the kind of money you desire. Keeping in mind that you get what you pay for, if you’re looking for something that is going to provide you with financial freedom, it would probably be worth your time and energy to do some research and find something that suits you, even though it requires some cash outlay, especially if you’re wanting to replace your full-time job.

Make Money - Improve Lives Online
By Don Downes


Creating a successful internet home business can be an undemanding endeavor if you begin with the appropriate marketing tools and some traditional marketing content. Much of discovering how to make money online is conditional on your ability to access vital information about advertising methods, finding the best products to market, and preparation for building a phenomenal opt-in mail list.

Even if you're not aspiring to work full-time at home, the internet offers a feasible source of money which can facilitate your regular income. Two principal incentives are rational motives here: The lucrative possibility of the internet as well as the personal free rein that comes with working without a set schedule or geographic placement.

There are two main ingredients that you will want to focus on so that you too can make money online. You want to generate traffic to your website and you need quality products to establish your credibility and produce incremental revenue. To genuinely advertise products or services you trust, have tested and are involved in, and would be proud to refer to a friend.

If your product can improve the lives of people, it will be easy to be placed in front of people who are looking for it. As you manage to get sustained traffic, you will make money out of it. The fundamental aspect to success is differentiating yourself from the rest; this is of importance in the natural order of search engine traffic. If you aren't looked upon as one who adds value in the online realm then you'll promptly find yourself displaced by someone who is.

To get the lifeblood of your business flowing, targeted traffic, it's a necessity to provide genuine value and quality to your visitors. Other techniques may earn more traffic but your page and website content in general is most valuable when exhibiting an optimum website that will organically build traffic. With an outstanding product, extraordinary presentment and assertive marketing, you will make money online.

Let's anticipate that you've got the focused mindset. You get the picture that the basic cognitive process to make money online is going to take time and you're willing to put the essential time into acquiring skills. You may be a beginner just attempting to comprehend the process of internet marketing. The greatest factor of the internet is that you can simulate and learn from extremely successful people willing to share their knowledge and experience to help you make money and greatly improve your life and other lives online.

There are some basics that you should know before setting up your online home-based business. It’s going to require a lot of time and energy in the beginning and once it’s in place, you must perform continual upkeep. You also have to spend some time making sure that you are getting out your advertising through the right channels so that you are successful and not left behind in the midst of periodic change. You’ll have to build or have a website built that you totally control.

You must check your site(s) and your email daily, to ensure everything is working properly, because even a short downtime of your site can mean financial losses. Your online business is open 24/7, so you have to make sure that it is always accessible to your customers and prospects, even though you have scheduled working hours for yourself; the site is still in full operation.

So, each day that you work you’ll have to deal with anything that occurs during your off time. This means that when you start each morning’s tasks, you must deal with all of the emails and transactions that went on during your down time, which means that your mornings are going to be busy.

Remember that you are competing with other online businesses, just like yours, for customers. Therefore, you must have something special that attracts prospects to your site. Your website also has to be clean and easy to navigate, has to look professional and make you look trustworthy, and you have to make sure that you have done search engine optimization so that your home-based business comes up first on Internet searches in order to make certain that people know your site exists.

If you have performed these basics, then you’re set up for success with your online home-based business. And, remember to treat your online home business like a real company, like any business by seriously observing all the rules that apply to operation and management.
