Before you join an affiliate program, research the ones you’re considering, ask questions. The answers will be the determining factor.

Will it cost you anything to join?
You can join most affiliate programs free of charge, so why settle for those that charge an upfront fee?

When are commission checks issued?
Every program is different. Select the one that suits you best. Many affiliate programs set a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio?
This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from a sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked, and how long do they remain in the system?
This is the only way that you can get credit for a sale. The time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it takes place months later.

What kinds of affiliate stats are available?
Your affiliate program should offer detailed stats. Stats should be available online anytime you decide to check them. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the actual click on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales?
It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to your earnings. This is especially important if the program you’re in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer?
Find out who you are doing business with to know if it’s really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program?
A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor, like a recruitment fee.

What is the amount of commission paid?
Five percent - 20% is the commission paid by most programs. A .01% - .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. That’s why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

These are just some of the questions you should have answers to before you enter into an affiliate program. Know these aspects before deciding on an affiliate program and incorporating it into your website.

Three Things You Must Do Before Submitting To Article Directories

Information-based marketing is one of the oldest and most effective techniques used to get targeted prospects and to convert them into buyers. That’s why article writing, submissions and publications are also becoming more popular. Following are some things to be considered before submitting content to article directories.

1. You must be clear about why you’re writing an article.

There are three key benefits from writing articles; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your marketing optimization effort.

But there is really only one reason to write an article, and that is to enlighten your audience. If you don’t focus on this purpose and write interesting helpful information, you’ll fail to achieve the promotional benefits, because no one will be interested in reading it. If the article is good quality people will read it and be more likely to click on your resource box at the end of the piece.

2. You must maximize the promotional opportunity of article marketing.

You may already know that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But, do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that article with keyword optimization? Place keywords in strategic places, but don’t overdo it.

You want to get picked up by publishers with a large number of readers and gain leverage because of the quality of your work. This can make for profitable marketing. Start with a plan and focal point. Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content. It must meet certain guidelines.

3. You must publish content that helps your readers

Maybe all you’re thinking is that you want links back to your site and any visitors you can generate are fine. But, if you write content that publishers want, your article marketing will be more effective and it will be something that people will want to read. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell check, do research on good topics and in some cases, even hire a writer to produce good content on your behalf.

Impossible Is Just A Word

Just about everyone has dreamed of being somebody “special,” somebody “big.” Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich or successful or happy with our relationships? Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, too often our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations vanish.

How sad. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day and just barely existing. If we learn to aim higher, life could be so much better.

One of the most challenging dilemmas in moving forward and setting goals is thinking we can’t do. Now, if everyone thought that way, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled that the bumblebee could fly. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible. Fortunately, the bee didn’t know any different.

If you’re consumed with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you’ll never be able to get past what you think is impossible. On the other hand, in reaching too far, you can find yourself clinging to that impossible dream at the expense of something achievable.

Try this exercise. On a sheet of paper make three columns. Label the first “things you know you can do,” the second “things you might be able to do,” and the last one “things that are impossible for you to do.” Then make a list under each heading.

Now, strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under “things you know you can do.” Check them off as you accomplish them. Once you do all the things under the first heading, take the things from the second heading – “things you might be able to do” – and list them under the first heading. Now they become the “things you know you can do.” Take the items under the third heading and move them to the second column. They are now the “things you might be able to do.” Once you finish the things you’ve moved to the “things you might be able to do” column, there are no impossibilities left.

As you move through this process, you’ll find that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begins to seem doable after all.

The whole point here is not to limit your imagination. The objective is to aim high, and start working toward a goal little by little. Remember also, to set goals that are truly realistic, so you won’t become discouraged. Those who just daydream about things and never set goals or work to accomplish goals, end up disappointed and disillusioned.

If you had told people a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would’ve laughed. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would’ve said you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these seemingly impossible dreams are now realities.

‘Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.’ But note that the 1% has to be a think-big dream. Mind you, change will not happen over night. But, remain focused and work through what is necessary to accomplish what you want.

So dream! Don’t be seduced by your perceived limitations. Think big, work hard, stay focused and watch the seemingly impossible become a bit more achievable.

Advertising On The Internet

Since the advent of the Internet, advertising on the World Wide Web has been very popular. Many corporations, companies and businesses have taken advantage of this. You see ads on any web page you visit. Consumers can use any search engine and type a keyword relating to what they’re looking for, hit search and they’ll be provided with a huge list from which they can make a selection. This is a very cost effective and time saving method of advertising.

It’s become really easy for any business to have a personalized website by which they can advertise, directly interact with the customer and provide details about their products and services. Regular newsletters, offers and discounts can be placed on a site to increase visitor interest.

Internet advertising is classified into two categories, legal online advertising and illegal online advertising. Legal online advertising includes online advertising directories, search engine advertising, e-mail advertising and desktop advertising. Illegal advertising is more commonly known as spam. This is usually done by altering some system settings with the help of external applications after which pop-ups are sent to a particular network or computer. These applications are adware or spyware. Some are really harmful, the most notorious being Trojans, which are very hard to uninstall and remove from a system.

As technology improves, special effects such as vivid colors, multi-colors, various fonts and imaginative page layouts are used. Typically, Adobe Flash is used for ad designs.

The main types of advertising are banners and pop-up and pop-under ads. Banner ads are animations displayed on the website usually created in HTML or Eudora. There is a range of type and sizes of the ads. There are also trick banner ads that have an extra functionality of dialog boxes and buttons and are displayed as an alert or error message.

A pop-up is an advertisement displayed in a new window that covers up the active web page. A pop-under advertisement opens in another window that is under the active web page and can be seen after the present window is either closed or minimized.

Other types are:
Interstitial—displayed before directing you over to the desired page
Floating—floats across the page
Polite—downloads slowly without interrupting the normal functioning of the website
Expanding—enlarges and changes the contents of the page being displayed
Video—actual video on a site

There are a number of ways to pay for advertising. They include:

CPM (cost per mil)—advertiser pays for a particular number of people to whom the advertisement will be exposed
CPV (cost per visitor)—advertiser pays for the people to whom the advertisement was delivered
CPC (cost per click)—advertiser pays for the number of clicks made on the advertisement by the visitors
CPA (cost per action)—advertisement publisher bares all the charges of ad, but gets paid only if the visitor clicks on the advertisement and purchases a product or signs-up for a service
CPL (cost per lead)—similar to CPA, visitor doesn’t have to necessarily buy anything, but can simply apply to get regular newsletters and special offers
CPO (cost per order)—advertiser pays each time an order is placed

Online advertising is not only for products and services, but can also be used to promote charities and for education.

How To Generate Traffic Using Only Free Methods

Starting a company requires a lot of things, the main one being capital. However, the internet offers many ways to generate traffic and optimize your site or business without spending money. You must have the proper mindset, drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate traffic for your site.

Many sites have articles that offer tips and guidance in generating traffic using only free methods. While this is possible, you get better results by paying for your advertisements, but at least you have a fighting chance with some free methods.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the demographic or niche you’re seeking and you can get lots of information about what you have to offer, and you’ll be better prepared and have a sense of what to expect going forward. Online communities and forums can be used to build a reputation for your company, show your expertise and build trust.

Newsletters are also a great advertising tool. Use them to provide people a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles, so people will subscribe and recommend it to others. The more subscribers you have the better the opportunity for visitors to your site.

Another idea is link trading with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. Exchanging links affords a win-win situation that benefits both parties especially when if the niches are similar.

Write articles that get the attention of people interested in your product; articles that provide tips and guidance. Many sites and ezines offer free submission and posting of your original copyrighted articles that others can use. Include a link or a brief description of your company at the end of the article so people can follow it back to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track the keywords and keyword phrases on your site and how they’re used. Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they’re looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in their search results.

So, if you have a limited advertising budget, using these methods can help you. But, you must be dedicated and know that it’s time consuming.

Affiliate Marketing Tips

Copyright © Rahimah Sultan

Affiliate marketing is all about getting paid for selling products you don't own and not going to jail for it. Someone else develops software programs, service, or digital content products that you sell for a commission.

Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing arrangement between the product developer, known as the affiliate merchant, and the affiliate marketer who is anyone that's willing to promote the sale of product by advertising the product using any legal means available.

The relationship allows the affiliate merchant to grow revenue by paying only for the advertising that results in a sale. The affiliate marketer profits by making a percentage on a sale that he doesn’t have to manage after the sale.

Getting paid

Payment is dependent upon the program set up. Some merchants will run their own affiliate program. They'll have special types of software that assign each affiliate marketer a special link that's used in promoting the product. The software will track sales of every marketer and the merchant pays commissions on a periodic basis, using either PayPal or another method of payment.

Selecting products or services

Your income is directly tied to sales of the product or service and the amount of commission you earn, which makes your selection of affiliate merchant(s) you’ll be partnering with very important.

Choose programs that you aren't embarrassed to promote and ones that you would feel comfortable recommending to your family and friends if they were to ask you about it.

You'll do much better if you promote products that you fully understand and are familiar with. Then, you'll be able to write better ads without having to spend a lot of time deciding what to say.

You should only promote products and services for companies who have provided you with training programs and sales aids such as banners and other marketing materials that you can either use directly or model.

Look for the best commission rates—50% or more. Choose programs that pay commission on multiple levels, so you'll also earn commissions on sales made by people who buy the products through your link and in turn become affiliates themselves.

MLM Personal Financial Success

Having the right skills will get you far in this business. But with the wrong attitude, how long do you think you’ll keep your personal financial success in MLM ? As with anything in life, skill isn’t everything. So it’s not really surprising that in the world of MLM, attitude is the strongest determinant of your personal financial success.

Business structure, compensation plan, product and training systems are all important. But without the right attitude, those things are just unused tools that don’t build any real-time personal finance in MLM. So what kind of attitude should you have?

Be coachable.

A quick way to fail in MLM is assuming that you already know what will and will not work. It’s true that different people have different strengths and some methods work better for some than others. But it’s important that you not forget people have made great profits in MLM.

Check in with your successful upline and get their suggestions on how to make your business work, and then follow through on them. If something doesn’t seem to be working, check with them again. Ask what you could be doing differently, rather than assuming the concept itself is flawed.

Understand your purpose.

While there may well be people who get into MLM , because they genuinely enjoy the challenges of the sales process, most sign up in this business because there is the potential to help then achieve something big in their personal finance and in their lives. It could be to provide for their families, create a financially secure future for themselves, or just to be debt-free. There is something in the original opportunity that inspired them to get involved. Keeping your focus on your “why” or reason for doing MLM is the motivating factor. If you want to get there, you’ll stay focused and do what it takes.

Remain positive.

Staying positive is crucial to achieving MLM success. As with anything, you’ll have ups and downs along the way. Having a good attitude helps you through the tough times.

So, be coachable, know your purpose (your “why” for doing the business) and remain focused and positive for MLM financial success. You may not be able to do anything to change your company’s business structure, compensation plan, product or training systems, but you can always change your attitude. Make a commitment to yourself, learn what you need to change what you can, as MLM personal financial success depends on it.

3 Reasons Adsense Is Essential For Content Sites

Copyright © Rahimah Sultan

http://www.NewRichReport.com/rahimah

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a java script into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script pulls advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should be related to the content that is on the webpage serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster providing the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying via the search engine for the click.

All the tracking and payments are processed through the search engine, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content- sensitive and -targeted ads without the hassle of soliciting advertisers, collecting funds, monitoring clicks and statistics which is a time-consuming task. There seems to be no shortage of advertisers in the program from which the search engine pulls the Adsense ads. Also webmasters are less concerned with the lack of information search engines are providing and are more focused on making cash from these search engines.

The first reason Adsense is essential for content sites is that its progression now meets the needs of publishers and webmasters both in appearance and with a more advanced system that allows full ad customization. There are many different types of text ad formats that better compliment websites and fit webpage layouts.

Choice of formatting enables site owners to get more click throughs from visitors, as it’s more appealing to people and makes it more likely that they’ll take that next step of actually looking at what is offered, thus, paving the way for profits.

Secondly, publishers and webmasters have the ability to track not only the progression of their sites, but also earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels. Recent improvements in search engines give webmasters the capability of monitoring their ads for performance and using customizable reports to determine the number of page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website and spot trends.

With the real-time reporting, effectiveness of changes can be assessed quickly. The more flexible tools allow webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which provides them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.

Finally, advertisers have realized the benefits of having their ads on targeted websites, which translates into targeted visitors, which in turn generates more income. The operative word here is “targeted.” If you cater to a certain niche, those are the ones who are ready to purchase what you offer.

How to Fail in MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)

Following are a few MLM problems that some new people have.

1. No upline support

Once a person joins a new MLM program, s/he is in a vulnerable position and needs a lot of help.

In many cases, the uplines are not actively helping the new people, because they (uplines) are simply sponsoring as many people as they can with no regard to what happens to the new associates who are viewing the opportunity as a home business.

In most standard MLM programs, it is important that the new person gets immediate assistance and tools in order to be successful.

2. New marketers cannot sell.

This is probably the main reason most people don’t make it in MLM. Using standard MLM techniques, you’ve got to sell and learn how to speak at opportunity meetings and the like.

3. The MLMer cannot generate good Leads.

The next greatest reason for failure is lack of lead generation.

The scenario is one in which the new person has just signed up in an exciting MLM program. S/he is taught by manuals, meetings and so forth, how to "share" the product with friends, neighbors and relatives.

This is very uncomfortable, and typically the new person will spend many sleepless nights at the thought of imposing on people who are close. It would be easier presenting the opportunity to strangers. This is very discouraging when considering a home-based business.

4. A method that can't be duplicated.

If the MLM company has to be promoted through expensive methods, it’s not feasible, and learning how to sell, or to speak and conduct an opportunity meeting is just not something that can be duplicated consistently.

5. Selling by mail using standard MLM techniques.

The traditional way of marketing involves spending all your spare time calling and traveling to get prospects. A lot of people already have a full time job, so this is not feasible.

6. The marketer is not sure about the MLM company or service.

Often a person will sign up in a MLM program during a moment of excitement, and later the reality of conducting business sets in.

Pick an established and financially sound MLM company that is at least two years old with unquestionable products and/or services. That way, you can feel good about what you’re promoting. There is nothing quite like being able to "tell the complete truth" to your prospective customers and grow your business.

7. They do not stick with it long enough.

Starting any company or home business takes time, and this is certainly true of a MLM program. By the time you study the program, the accompanying literature, etc., you’ve already invested a lot of time, and still must generate leads.

Although some people are successful after a short time, you should be prepared to stay with it for a while. Don’t give up too soon. At least allow a few months for consistent success.

Domain Names 101

Copyright © Rahimah Sultan

Without a domain name, websites are specified by an IP address. An IP address is an identifier that is used by computers or humans to determine the location of a server or website. However, for people, an IP address, (which is expressed in a numerical format), can be difficult to remember. That’s why domain names were invented. With a domain name, a person can locate a website through more user-friendly words or phrases. Although numbers can be part of a domain, they are usually not used to make up the entire name, like an IP address. If you intend to use the Internet for advertising, your domain name should reflect the purpose of your home-based business endeavor.

Domain names have several parts. The first is known as the URL, (Uniform Resource Locator). The URL tells the browser what the domain name is going to point to. This will usually be 'http', which means the browser can expect to locate a hypertext document--the webpage. In the rare cases the URL is not 'http' it may be 'ftp', which means file transfer protocol. Webmasters would opt to use ftp for visitors to download files from their server.

The second part of the domain name will be "www," which stands for "World Wide Web." This phrase lets computers and people know the site the domain name is pointing to is actually from the Internet. It is followed by the actual domain name, which can be a combination of letters, numbers or phrases. A good domain name will be short, memorable and most importantly, search-engine friendly. In fact, good webmasters tend to concentrate more on a domain name's effectiveness with SEO, (or Search Engine Optimization), than they do its creativity. To do this they make sure to choose a domain name that has a widely searched keyword reflective of their business objective.

The final portion of the domain name has what is known as an extension. This lets a person know a little bit more about a website's origins. For example, take .com, the most common domain name extension, stands for 'commercial', and was originally intended for business organizations. However, now the extension is used by virtually anyone creating a website. This is for good reason, since most web surfers will think about the .com before they would think about .org, .biz or .net. Yet, other extensions can become memorable. Consider Wikipedia.org which is a wildly popular website despite its .org extension.

Domain name extensions can also specify things on a geographical level. An example is country-based extensions such as .fr, (which stands for France), or .jp, (which stands for Japan). They can also be state-based, such as .ca, (which stands for California). Both can serve as excellent tools for localized Internet marketing of your home-based business.

To get a domain name, you can either: 1) get one from their web hosting company, provided they offer that service or 2) get one from a separate domain name company. Prices will vary with both options, though typically the cost will range from $6.50 to $35.

The idea of being a mere passenger on a ship sailing to the farthest points doesn’t appeal to people who like to take charge of their destiny. They want to steer the ship themselves and go where they want. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each of them dreams of, and knowing that they have the capacity to steer it themselves makes them actually want to.

Maybe this is the reason more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular home businesses around – affiliate marketing; a business with no bosses to order them around. There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to. You only need to have the tools to succeed in a business such as this, and you are bound to get your heart’s desires.

Just what do you need to succeed in affiliate marketing or any home business? What must you have within yourself to be able to do well in this industry? There is a lot of competition, and to be able to rise above the norm, you must be properly equipped to move forward. There are five things that are a must for achieving success and to stand out in this business.

The very first quality one must have is the willingness to learn and be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary if you’re not properly equipped, and therefore you might get lost. Learning the tricks of the trade is an important aspect of the game, and one’s willingness to know as much as possible will provide a far better advantage.

The second is having the willingness to invest time and effort even if you don’t see direct results immediately. Although several months may pass without any apparent success, it is important to hold on once you’ve started your affiliate marketing business.

The third thing one must possess is self-determination. If you want to conquer the affiliate marketing world, you must have the ability to push yourself forward. Never giving up is an attitude every affiliate marketer should have, as this ability to motivate one’s self keeps you from giving up before you have the opportunity to succeed.

And fourth is discipline. If you work energetically everyday doing something constructive for your business, you come closer and closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Fifth, but not least, is optimism. Negative attitudes and hearsays should not discourage an affiliate marketer from pursuing what s/he has to do for that better life. Don’t allow anyone to influence your attitude toward the business you’ve chosen. You must remain in charge, the captain of your own ship.

Affiliate marketing is all about taking charge. For your success, be willing to learn, invest time and effort, be determined and disciplined, and remain optimistic in your home-based business endeavors and stay on course.

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

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money
online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you've got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?
The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?
The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.
If you've been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more
about that later. First, let's talk about the videos
themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

http://vur.me/rasbiz/minisites

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.
He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll
agree that he has succeeded.
Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

http://vur.me/rasbiz/minisites

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION
This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it's structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it's important to
pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create
the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so
they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who over delivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.


VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you've been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it's that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you're going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you
can't just have a single front end product, and you'll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn
all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your
mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!
By the time you're done with this video, you'll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

Wow, you get all those videos for free? Click

course for yourself:

*************************************************
DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it's free?

If you decide that you want to continue your
education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you
can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee.
The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here's a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you're out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.

This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAKE YOU MONEY
*************************************************

When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you
should focus on first. This video will walk you
through the four most important marketing activities
you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.

Once you master these four, you'll never have to
wonder what you should do when you start a new mini
site. You'll have an easy-to-follow road map for
driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

*************************************************
VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE
*************************************************

In this final deluxe video, Michael will reveal his
best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you'd want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you'll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could
double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your
average order (which puts more money into your
pocket).

- The one thing you must add to your 'download page'
that will instantly increase your income (with no
extra work, once this thing is put into place).

- How to turn your actual product into a money making
machine!

*************************************************
CONCLUSION

Are You Ready For Your Own Home Business?

Network marketing is one way to earn residual income. You can start part time, while working for that linear income, with little investment of time and money. Many people are afraid to take the leap from the outside office to the home business office. Leaving the corporate world is a pretty scary thought. So, starting your own business by putting in a few hours a week is a good idea. You'll still have your benefits in place while working on your passion. The most time consuming part of network marketing, as with any endeavor, is getting started. It may take a few weeks or even months to get everything set up and functioning. And that is the way it should be. Take time to decide the direction in which you want to go, be passionate and properly set up your home-based business and start generating income to build on so you can eventually fire your boss.

With some of them you may even make a little money, provided you can get some visitors to your virtual front door. So you sign up, probably pay a small fee to get started, and in many cases agree to a monthly charge that amounts to a franchise fee. There are numerous options to choose from for your own Internet business and many require you to have your own Web site and some opportunities will offer you a site containing everything you need to begin making money online.

Of course, you consider this part of the cost of doing business, and besides the owner is a multi-millionaire who has introduced you to others well on their way to independent wealth and has promised the same for you. So, you enter your credit card number then sit back, and wait for the money to come rolling in from your home business.

As the first couple of months go by, and you have not seen any income from your investment, you may start thinking scam or thief and begin looking for the information about the money back guarantee. Your aha moment comes when you find a previously ignored suggestion that you promote your site so people can find it and start doing business with you online.

If you look into some of the Internet business success stories and then look at those sites, you will find that the people who are marketing these sites have used their knowledge of advertising and they have promoted their Internet/home business either through paid sources or free avenues such as blogs, newsletters or how-to informational ezines. You can use these avenues and/or come up with similar ways to get the word out about your home-based business so that you can join the list of those who are successful.

Add CPA Marketing To Your Home-based Business

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

I’m adding something to my home-based business marketing efforts that is rather new to me—CPA marketing. As cost-per-action (CPA) marketing has been around a while, it’s not new to me, but I’ve been too busy trying to learn and make other types of marketing work. Anytime you start something new, it takes a while to familiarize yourself with it.

Cost-per-action marketing, also known as PPA (pay-per-action), takes less effort than other forms of affiliate marketing, but it’s more difficult to get into. CPA affiliate marketers are known as Publishers. The publisher takes most of the advertising risk, because commissions are dependant on good conversion rates from the advertiser's creative units and Web site.

Merchants/advertisers determine what actions they want to reward and how much they are willing to pay. As the term implies, prospects need to take action by filling out a form, signing up for a limited time trial offer or making a purchase. The action can be as simple as giving an email address, or a zip code. Once a prospect has taken the required action, the publisher is paid. Pay can be per lead, trial or a part of the purchase price.

For his type of affiliate marketing, you can choose products that fit your niche market or any offers provided by companies involved in CPA marketing. You can promote as few or as many as you like. It’s great for entrepreneurs working from home.

When I applied for this kind of affiliate marketing, I was contacted by phone for verification/confirmation of my application. The company wanted to know that I was an established marketer with a Web site. Of course, this made sense, as the companies want
experienced marketers who can convert offers.

Driving Traffic To Your Web Site - 7 Effective Reasons Why Articles Are The Best way by Tom F Wilson

Of all the tools there are on the internet web articles still remain the best strategy to use to increase website traffic. Writing and submitting articles can be a bit of a daunting looking task, but when you get used to writing them it is very easy for most people. You do have to remember that there are some different techniques and strategies that you have to use compared to ordinary English type literature.

When writing articles to increase traffic to your website remember that content is the most important aspect of your article. If you are already an expert in your niche then you should be able to write content that is interesting for your readers. If you are not an expert in your niche then do some research about your topic so that you know what you are writing about.

Practice makes perfect, the more you write articles the better you will become. It is well worth remembering this, because the more web articles you write, the more interesting they will become. The more interesting your articles become the more traffic you will drive to your website.

Let us look at why writing and submitting articles is so powerful in driving traffic to your web site:

1. Writing articles helps you to become an expert in your particular niche. You will be able to write unique and interesting content for your readers, in this way you will build trust and confidence in your prospective customers eyes. Your customers will feel confident in buying your product from you.

2. Writing articles is an affordable way to drive targeted traffic to your website. It is better if you can write your own articles, if you do not feel comfortable writing your own articles you can always hire a ghost writer. Ghost writers are not expensive and when you find a good one they are worth their money.

3. Submit your articles to article submission sites, there are many free article submission directories on the internet. Only submit your articles to the best submission sites, this will increase the number of links back to your own website. With these back links comes more exposure for your site on the internet.

4. You will have a resource box at the bottom of your article in which you will insert your web address also known as your URL. Because you have submitted your articles to the most popular directories, and they in turn have published your articles on many other websites and directories, your articles have become viral. This means that your URL will be on thousands of websites, this will increase traffic to your site giving you more opportunities for more customers.

5. Writing and submitting articles will bring long term benefits unlike other forms of advertising where you only get short term benefits. All your articles will be archived in article directories which means anyone can read them and view your website. Your articles now have the ability to create thousands of one way links to your web site for a long time in the future.<

6. By submitting your articles to directories you have a better chance of your website being indexed by the search engines and therefore increasing traffic flow.

7. Include keywords in your articles that are related to your niche, and when people type in those keywords your articles and website will show up on the search engines.This will help you get targeted traffic.

There are many tools and strategies to help you drive traffic to your website, but none as effective as article marketing.

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.

Making money online using Facebook while you work from home by kausarkhan

When Facebook was launched, it was intended for US college students to use it to stay in touch with each other. However, if you are conversant with the current Internet business you will realize that Facebook is not only used as a platform for advertising worldwide but also as a resource to conduct business online. Many people have had the opportunity to start online business is based solely on Facebook and have struck it rich.

Facebook enables users to connect and interact with millions of users worldwide. They can be broadly categorized according to their geographical location, ages, education, political views, interests, professions and workplace among others.

Using your account to make money

Any Facebook user is allowed to have an account. If you have an account, you can connect with other Facebookers and turn a social networking into a business networking. This is because Facebook allows you to use your profile both for personal and business use. Just the mere fact that you can have business associates in your Facebook friends list is enough to enable you conduct business on Facebook.

There are many strategies you can use to make Facebook your income source. Establishing networks with likeminded people and forming groups will allow you to easily share ideas, market and even sell online. To do this, you must conduct your research well and always see what your competitors are offering. By establishing your own network, it ensures that you have a greater influence and following. This way, you will be in a better position to reach many users at an instant.

To promote your business or business ideas in Facebook, one secret you must learn is that focusing on the business and ideals will not gather much audience to whatever you may have to say. Putting in too many links on your promotion page will look more of business minded than the social site it is.

One of the most effective ways to announce your new business developments, events and minor improvements is by making updates on the Facebook promotion page. Many people will be reached instantly and you do not have to pay hefty advertising fees.

There are also other social networking sites other than Facebook that can get you noticed at no charge. Twitter, which has been a hot social networking site for the last 12 months, is another great site. MySpace too has many tools and resources that can enable to reach many clients and business people by social networking.

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.

My intention is not to frighten you, but to just point out some facts about the world of the Internet.

So, if you are not getting the desired results from your affiliate marketing, don’t lose hope. There’s definitely a remedy to this problem and that is ViralURL.com
