AdWords Management - Using E-Mails

By Kirt Christensen

If you utilize e-mail well, you can keep your customers with you 3 times as long. What is the most personal way to contact someone on the internet? Email is the answer. By using email you can sell to your customers over and over again, by forging a trusting relationship and making a business opportunity based on your individual personality.

Discussions about AdWords are not complete without talking about how to make a lasting relationship out of that costly fraction-of-a-second click. When a person clicks on your Google ad, you are charged fifty cents no matter what happens next. If that person stays on your page less than 5 seconds, he is out of there and you most likely won't see him again without another costly click.

Fifty cents for five seconds of someone's attention-dang, that's $600 an hour! Kind of depressing if you look at it that way. On the other hand, if that person gives you her e-mail address, you can communicate with her on a regular basis for little or no cost. If you're trying to sell a $1,000 product, which is easier to get from your prospects: a $1,000 order or their e-mail address?

With a more complicated sales procedure, it is even more important to divide it into smaller steps.

The Strength Of Your E-Mails Is Centered On Being Personal.

Run-of-the-mill advertisers have little respect for the personal nature of e-mail. They don't realize how easy it is to turn off otherwise receptive prospects to their message, just by violating that.

You need to write to the person as one person. Unless the person you're writing to is part of a group where he or she personally knows each of the other members, then the last thing you want to do is write as though you're talking to a crowd. Talk to your customer, an individual.

1. A "From" Field that Shows You're a Real Person

Consider that if speaking to an individual in the text of your message is working than think how to apply that to other areas of the email. How about your "from" field. Look at the different impressions that these "from" lines make:

Bill Kastl

William Kastl

William D. Kastl

Nakatomi Corporation

William D. Kastl, Nakatomi Corporation

Nakatomi Sales Department

Bill Kastl, Nakatomi Sales

You want to be warm and personal without looking like spam. This is a challenge because spammers are themselves always trying to make their messages look like they're from some forgotten old friend. The key is to say something that is so specific to their particular interests they know no spammer would ever come up with it.

Select a "from" field that will cement your customers to you.

2. A Provocative Subject Line

The context of your email is what will spell success or failure for your email. The subject line will work, not because of a standardized copywriters rule, but because they say something about what a targeted group of people are interested in at that moment.

If I were to show you ordinary samples of email subject lines, it would be virtually impossible for them not to sound like spam. So lets get a specific subject that you will understand: Google AdWords

Passive Income is Financial Freedom

By Troy Smith

Would you rather work 40 hours a week to achieve the same amount of income as someone else makes working an hour a week? The answer to this question is pretty obvious, yet many people do not know to make this happen. A great financial legend, James D. Rockefeller, once said that he would rather earn from 1% of 100 people's efforts than 100% of his own. He couldn't have put it any better. Do you find it hard to make enough to get by?

The solution to this problem is the idea of a passive income. Passive income is the money-making principle that separates your time from your work. Once you set up a stream of passive income, it is on autopilot and you will have the opportunity to make money while working on other interesting projects.

Even if your financial situation seems like it cannot get any worst, it will if you continue to work harder and not smarter. Inflation tells us that we need to earn about $225,000 a year just to earn what the average household did in 1968! That trend does not seem to be stopping anytime soon, so now is the time to start thinking about a passive income.

The idea of residual income is a form of passive income that relies on making money off of a product that you only work on once. After you create this product, you establish an automated service to deliver and receive payment for this product.

A way to establish this residual income is through e-books and PayPal. You can even purchase the resell rights to pre-existing e-books and simply buy the rights from there. However, this is not the best and most efficient way to have a passive income. You need to apply leverage to have this automated income perform at its best.

The idea of leverage is exactly as Mr. Rockefeller put it - have other people do your work for you. You can pay people a respectable income to create you more income. You will need to invest money to make this happen, but it is much more powerful and effective if you can successfully apply labor income. This approach can easily double your earning potential.

Another type of leverage is active leveraged income. This type does involve your efforts, but by getting more people involved in your project, you can earn even more money. You do not have to hire someone because your recruits will want to do this for you. This can greatly enhance the return and get you closer to your financial freedom.

It is not easy to have the life that you deserve; however, it is entirely possible. With the internet, there are tons of money making opportunities available. A lot of these programs are scams, but there are a few diamonds in the ruff. There are legitimate passive income opportunities online that will allow you to achieve financial freedom and a successful, fulfilled life.

All the Clients You Can Handle

By Ray Edwards

I often speak at seminars and conventions. One of the most common questions I am asked by copywriters is, "How can I find clients?" It's a question that plagues many copywriters.

It seems strange that copywriters and marketers, experts in their field, would have problems finding clients. Still, the biggest problem facing copywriters, both new and experienced, is lack of customers.

There is good news. You can find all the clients you can handle. It's easy. However, you may have to acquire new skills, skills that we usually don't use. Don't beat yourself up - I can help you gain these skills.

As copywriters, our skill is writing good copy that sells. It is a different thing altogether to have the personal, selling and business skills to attract clients.

The most important skill to develop is your sales skills. If you learn how to sell, you will attract more clients. Jeffrey Gitomer is the premier sales trainer in America. Through his website, www.Gitomer.com, you too can learn how to sell effectively, attracting more clients.

Now, here is a 5 Step System For Getting Copy Clients:

1. Develop your marketing site. Your website needs to market you. Write some copy that sells you. Don't make your own copy your lowest priority, like most copywriters. Take some time and make it the best copy you can possibly write. After all, you are your most important client!

2. Use a sales process. There are several tools at your disposal: use a lead generation page - like a forced opt-in page, an autoresponder, opt-in (ethical, of course) bribes to get potential clients to sign up. There should be a plan that will lead the client to the point of asking for, in our case, a quote on copy writing services. Do the sales process as if you were doing it for a client.

3. Screen your clients carefully. I use several techniques to do this. One of the most effective is sticker shock. I post some of my actual rates on my site. A lot of clients gasp and don't return my calls when they see my prices. This isn't because I don't like them, or I don't want to work with people, it just weeds out those who should go somewhere else. I don't say this to be arrogant, but as your copywriting skills improve, you will be deluged with work. You will then need to either politely refuse jobs, or raise your rates accordingly, so you are doing fewer jobs for more qualified clients. This presumes, of course, that your work is good enough to give a good return on investment for your clients. (which will be the subject of a different article).

4. Use follow-up marketing. Use it every single time. Your autoresponder sequence should theoretically have no end.

5. Attend seminars and network. Attending seminars and networking (and doing so in a professional manner) is the best thing that you can do for your business. I created a product that was 10 hours of audio teaching how to do this very thing. (And I'm not trying to sell this product here; in fact, it's not even available for sale, at all.) Last year, I spent about $50,000 on travel to seminars. You don't need to spend this much, but find a few key events that you know will be full of potential clients and make it a priority to get there. One of those that is helpful to a lot of people is Armand Morin's Big Seminar. Here's the link www.NewBigSeminar.com. It's a great place for copywriters to network and find new clients.

Whatever your profession - web designer, marketing consultant, copywriter - you need clients to succeed. This simple 5-step program will help you to attract more clients and ensure the health of your business.

How to get your share of the Video Traffic Boom

By Andrew S. Paxton

Did you know there are over 100 million people online right now viewing videos and that YouTube, the top Video hosting site accounts for over 100 million views per day ? Is that the kind of traffic your marketing efforts can afford to ignore?

Websites without video are slowly becoming a dying breed. No one can dispute the fact that marketing videos produce traffic and more sales. Video has become the rule rather than the exception and our online success depends to a large extent on the marketing videos we produce and add to our sites.

Multimedia traffic has become increasingly important in the Web 2.0 environment that we, as internet marketers, find ourselves competing for.

Over and above the effectiveness of video generated traffic, traditional traffic sources such as PPC, are becoming more and more expensive, to the point were campaigns need to be touching double digit CTR's to stand any chance of being profitable.

Don't get me wrong here. I still use PPC and will continue to drive traffic to my sites using PPC for the foreseeable future. The net is changing though and if we don't want to go the way of T-Rex, we need to evolve our marketing strategies.

Producing a marketing video isn't in itself a complicated procedure or one that requires hugely complex and expensive software applications. The various software components required for video production shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars in total.

What can be complicated and leave us open to costly errors is the way we go about marketing our videos. One way is to produce a marketing video for our product or the affiliate product we promote and simply submit this to the various video hosting sites such as Revver, YouTube or Metaface to name just a few.

We can then use the codes from the video hosting sites to add these videos to our own websites, without needing any other video conversion software. This is a cost effective and quick solution, but not one I recommend to the serious internet marketer.

The reason I say this is that the embed codes from the video sites, such as Revver for example, also include embedded videos from other users.

Since all videos are in specific categories, we could well end up providing free advertising and web space to one of our competitors, which might well result in lost sales, particularly if our competitor's video has been rated and viewed more times than our own.

The best way is to convert our videos to flash and to add this flash video to our websites. To do this we need effective and reliable video conversion software.

Videos generally include large volumes of information and tend to be large files. YouTube has a 10 minute and 100 MB maximum for any video submitted to the site, so this gives a good indication of the kind of file sizes I'm talking about.

Video conversion takes time and if the converter we use hogs too much of our available computer resource, then we are effectively blocking any other activity we might need to do on our computer while the converter eats away at the video.

Time is a valuable commodity and not something we can afford to waste. Video is a valuable marketing tool and not something we can afford to ignore. Get the best combination of time and result and your online marketing efforts can be that much more profitable.

I've seen too many of my fellow marketers invest big money in the latest and most complex video production software and then skimp when it came to the converter. The result ? Great looking videos that nobody ever saw simply because their conversion software wasn't up to the task.

The top class converters I use cost less than $100. Low quality converters come in at around $70. Does that price difference merit time and frustration? Not for me and neither should it for you.

Niche Affiliate Marketing - The Best Way to Get Started

By Ginger Coleen

When you finally make the decision to become an online marketer, you're going to be bombarded with all sorts of terminology regarding different types of marketing. One of the most lucrative of those terms is Niche Affiliate Marketing.

Niche affiliate marketing is the greatest way to get started online and one of the quickest and easiest things you can do. Let me show you why.

You may already know what affiliate marketing is, but if not, just type that term into any search engine and you'll find many answers. Affiliate marketing is just marketing somebody else's products and profiting from each sale. Many affiliate programs will also pay a fee for each click to their website from your link or banner.

Niche affiliate marketing is affiliate marketing while targeting a specific niche or target market. In other words, you might be interested in sports, but that's a really broad niche. You would be better to consider a niche market a bit more specific like golf, or tennis.

When choosing a target or niche market, you need to strike a happy medium. If you get into too small of a niche, you might find there isn't much to market. For example, if your niche were golf tees, rather than golf in general, you might be limiting your topics and affiliate choices too narrowly.

It might be better to choose the entire golf niche. That way you can sell information about golf resorts, golf balls, golf shoes, and even target specific golfer products -- like Tiger Woods products. By the way, it is, in fact, a very popular niche to be in but be careful, there is also a lot of competition.

When the Internet was a new medium and people were just learning to market online, each one of us had to basically create everything from scratch. We had to figure out what the best keywords were, how to use them and then build the website, design the graphics, and drive the traffic. Heck, traffic is a whole major niche of it's own and I don't mean the freeway kind!

A lot of things have changed since I started online. Today, you can buy packages for niche affiliate marketing that contain prewritten niche websites with everything included. All you need to do is FTP them up to a web host and market them.

Some of these packages contain articles and bonus materials to tempt your prospects into signing up for a list and purchasing your products. A word of caution however, be very careful when purchasing these packages.

The amazing thing to me is that many of them are very reasonable in price. And some of these niche affiliate marketing packages also include training to teach you how to promote them. The marketer who created the package will also grow from your efforts when you promote the package, so the training is in their best interest.

I recommend that when you're starting out, it will save you a lot of time to find a package that includes training. Some have high price tags but that doesn't ensure you're getting a great product.

Because of the competitive market today, the prices have gone down while still retaining a great deal of quality.

So, find a really good product that includes a website you can put up quickly and good training to show you how to drive traffic to the site. Then, if you like, you can build a small niche affiliate marketing empire around it.

Just do it once and repeat over and over. And, over time, your profits will get bigger and bigger. You get the picture!

The first step is choosing something that you want to do and can do from the comfort of your home. It is becoming more and more popular to use the internet to do this.

After you have decided what you desire to do, put your business plan into action. The more comfortable way to earn quick income from home is offering customer service through home telephone or internet.

Often, you come across ads in the routine newspapers, by a firm asking you to answer their client service calls, at comfort of your home using certain techniques that the firm uses to assist their clients. This is an easy job and in many cases, such job opportunities are available close to you. Once, you are familiar with such companies and their procedures. You can probably answer their customer calls or queries on a handy telephone or online computer, while earning good amount of money.

Benefits of Making Money At Home Online:

There are a quite a few benefits of working from home and using the internet such as:

Where The Money Is Online And How To Get It

By John Anghelache

The first three steps to Internet business success are: (1) choose the right market... (2) choose the right product... and... (3) choose the right marketing process.

The next step is getting website visitors and getting them to join your list.

You may have heard that the money is in the list. Absolutely true. The problem is less than 10% of Internet marketers know how to build their list. So let's discuss this all important topic.

My belief is that 90% of your success online depends on your ability to drive traffic to your site... and then... to get visitors to opt in to your email list. Making that happen is simple enough if you follow these steps...

First, you've got to put your focus on building a list. Nothing else should be more important to you. All your marketing efforts should result in getting people on your list.

The second part of the process is to put up a landing page with an opt in web form. The reason you give website visitors for opting in is to get a free information product (like report or audio or ezine subscription) they want.

STEP THREE: Drive traffic to this lead capture page almost exclusively. Of course, how you drive traffic is also critical. Let's talk about traffic generation methods.

What I rely on to get more website traffic is joint ventures with ezine publishers, ezine ads and targeted articles.

Article marketing is simple. You write up a 500 to 600 word article about a topic your market is interested in. At the end of the article you include a resource box with a link to your lead capture page.

My suggestion is that you write up and submit one to three articles per week. The more the better. Don't do manual submission because it's tedious and you won't reach all the directories. Get some kind of submission service or software to do this for you.

Publishers of ezines tend to accept advertising in the form of classifieds or solo emails. Contact the ezine publishers in your market and find out which ones you can advertise in.

Since you are building a list, use ezine ads to get people to the opt in page. That's the whole point. The more people you get there the more will opt in and the bigger the list will grow.

Joint ventures are a little more tricky. The idea is to find people in your market with lists who are not direct competitors. Then ask them to promote your free offer to their list. And, of course, you'll do the same for them.

Joint ventures work when there is reciprocation. In most cases, you can't expect a joint venture partner to promote your free offer if you can't promote something for them in return.

Another huge point: Do something every day to drive traffic to your lead capture page. Consistency is the big key to growing your list. The more you focus on traffic generation the bigger your list will get.

In the next article in this series, we'll discuss how to make money from your list.

Whatever you do you must be cautious of businesses that want your credit card information as well as the companies that want to make a substantial financial investment. These businesses will often be there to take your money and then you won't see them again. Unfortunately it is a fact that many fraudulent businesses prey on people online; if something sounds suspicious you may want to move on.

How To Make Money Online - Start with the basics

By Mark Thompson

If you have been online for more than a few days I am sure you've been tempted by the adverts for those programs that guarantee you a millionaire lifestyle. You know the ones with the Villas, Yachts and Ferrari's. Tempting aren't they but I am sure you've thought that they are too good to be true, you are right. The only people getting rich is the creator and maybe a small percentage of his affiliates.

Making money online is not as simple as these ads make it seem. Unfortunately there are no short cuts you need to not only learn the basics of creating a profitable website but master them as well. You've probably had friends or acquaintances recommend a product to you after it helped them to make lots of money. Thats doesn't mean it will work for you. No doubt they have experience and know how internet marketing works.

What type of car did you learn to drive in? An easy to drive small car or a hard to handle Ferrari? What did you learn to cycle on a bike with training wheels or a racing bike? I am sure the answer is obvious as is the reason why. If you try to learn on something that is not suitable you lose confidence and never try it again.

How many times do you think you would have fallen of a race bike when you small before you decided that you would never be able to ride a bike ? Unfortunately Internet Marketing is very similar. If you have too many failures too early in your career then you'll lose faith in yourself and give up.

Thats the end of the negative stuff! Now lets see how you should start your internet marketing career.

You are going to have to get the basics right before you start. Do some research into what other people are doing, learn about niches and keywords. When you are ready to start create a plan of action. I know you'll be keen to get started but build a firm foundation first. Don't forget the story of the 3 little pigs! Persevere and soon you'll start to see your income increase.

Try to resist buying every tool you see advertised until you have a firm grasp of what you want to do. There are far more free resources online than you probably realize. Make use of them, every cent you save now is a cent closer you get to making a profit.

I strongly believe that knowledge should be shared. I am lucky enough to make a full time income working online so I've set up a free site where I give away my e-books, videos and guides. It's called Profitable Website Guides. I intend to give away a free guide or video every 10 days or so. You can read more below this article.

Use Affiliate Marketing Advertising Free Methods To Build List

By Trisha Frauenhofer

When you want to build your online business, it's in fact important to build your list as well. In fact, this might be the most important element to your online business's success. Simply put, you need a good contact list so that your online business will be successful. Your list is what keeps your business's essence alive. If your list shrinks or disappears altogether, it's likely that your business is going to disappear, too. There are two ways you can build a strong list and keep your business going strong as well. When you put these two things in place, you'll see that your list growth will increase, sometimes quite markedly.

Of course, you could be asking yourself, "Why should I do anything differently?" Maybe your list is doing fine by your standards. It might be growing slowly, true, and it might take all of your time to build a, but it's still growing. However, remember that list building is absolutely necessary if you want to build relationships with customers to come to your site. You can use this list to generate sales and leads, and traffic. These things will ultimately help your business grow, and will have a positive impact on it.

Do you really want to waste time and effort you could best be putting to other uses, instead of putting these two elements into practice so that you can begin building your list exponentially? If you are working hard in affiliate marketing advertising, these two steps can help you if you want to build a killer list.

The first of the two major key elements to consider is value. This is perhaps number one when it comes to building a quality list. If you offer something that's valuable to someone subscribing to your list, you will build a relationship with that subscriber. In addition, though, that subscriber is also likely to pass on the information to someone else and bring more subscribers to you. What you need to give subscribers, then, is important information, discounts, quality content and a connection to you as an expert in the field. This will be invaluable to you as you increase the number of members on your list.

For the most part, people do something because it's going to benefit them. Period. People simply want to know they got something for free or at a greatly reduced price. Therefore, find free "giveaways" to give to people on your list, so that you'll draw more subscribers to you. For example, you could give product discounts or content that subscribers can't find anywhere else. You also need to make sure your subscribers know that they've gotten this free gift or content, etc., from you and that they couldn't have gotten it from anywhere else. Simply put, subscribers need to know that they've gotten value by joining your list.

Make a list for yourself of all the benefits you give your members. For example, you can list "freebies" or other valuable things you give your subscribers. Make these things your main selling points as you build your list. When you offer someone something to join your list, you'll discover that it's much easier to find to do want to scratch your list.

Another way to quickly build a good list is to make sure that what you offer is truly free. Almost everyone likes to get something for nothing. This makes people feel smart and thrifty. If you are a good negotiator, you can draw people to your free giveaway. With affiliate marketing advertising, a free giveaway is very important when you want to build your list. Free valuable content or another type of gift is one of the best ways to build any list. You can offer free reports, videos, e-books, prizes or discounts. Most people cannot refuse these types of offers.

If you give away something for free, you'll be building relationships with your list members that you'll find in valuable to keep your business going strong. Once you've done this, you'll see that your subscribers will come back to you time and again for anything they need online that you can fill. Providing something of value and for free to subscribers can usually positively impact your list building. Try implementing these two elements into your list building strategy and you should see your list grow by leaps and bounds.

The Blueprint To Internet Success

By John Anghelache

Becoming a successful Internet entrepreneur is a lot easier than you might think.

In fact, it's as easy as following a simple blueprint. In this article, I'm going to give you the first part of the blueprint. Before I do that, I think it's important that I take out some of the mystery behind making a living online.

Here's why...

Producing money online is like any other profit-making endevour. Whether you want a part time or full time income makes no difference. All you really have to understand is that the technology available today can put you on the fast track to online profits.

Gone are the days of having to learn the computer geek stuff. Simple software allows even the most non-technical person to launch a money making website within hours. It's amazing.

With that being said, let's get down to business.

Let me share with you a good model for succeeding online. Even though many such models exist that work well, this one is perfect for beginners.

1. Target a customer group - or market - made up of people who love to buy stuff related to their passions. For instance, golfers love to buy golf stuff. Health "nuts" love to buy gym memberships and supplements. Etc.

Make sure the market is both deep and wide. Meaning that there are plenty of people in it and you can niche.

The point is to go after a market where you will always have customers.

2. Pick a product that sells online. When you think about what people are after online - information - that lets you know what you should sell them.

What I'm saying is that information products are perfect to sell online. Anything that shows people how to solve a particular issue can be packaged into an information product. That's why people love ebooks.

3. Use a proven marketing system. Internet marketing is a big mystery to people who are new to online commerce. Don't guess about what works. You don't have to.

So, savvy Internet marketers create free reports, free audios, free videos and free mini-courses. They use a lead capture page to entice prospects to give them their email address. Then the free product is sent along with a link to a sales page.

If the prospect does not buy at first that's okay. The marketer simply keeps delivering good content (information) about that topic with a link in each email to a sales page.

This is how you get as many people to buy as possible.

Remeber this: The money is in the list. The bigger and more responsive it is the better.

List building will be discussed in another article.

Herbalife MLM Home Business Review

By Gordon Garza

Herbalife is a health based company. It has its headquarters in California and Los Angeles. Mark Hughes with the support of Dr. Richard Marconi, a PhD and nutritional expert, established Herbalife International.

Mark Hughes wished to create and market certain weight loss products easily and successfully. Hence, the Herbalife sell and market their products through multi level marketing or MLM. Initially, Herbalife International marketed their products via cable TV programs with huge testimonials. They also used bumper sticker and buttons for the effective marketing.

The Products:

Herbalife International offers health, wellness, fitness and several herbs, weight management products, personal care products, skin care products and dietary supplements. Most of the products are toxic free.

There are no adverse side affects and Herbalife products help with effective weight loss. Herbalife weight loss line consists of three main products: Formulas #1, #2 and #3.

Consisting of a protein rich drink, Formula #1 is a meal replacement product. An herbal tablet makes up Formula #2 and a multivitamin and mineral tablet is Formula #3.

In the beginning Herbalife weight loss line was marketed with the name of the Slim and Trim Program, today this same line is marketed at Herbalife Cellular Nutrition Health and Weight Management Program. Both programs are virtually alike and include Thremojetic system to control weight.

Customer testimonials report that the Herbalife products are helpful in enhancing stamina and energy level and are very effective in weight loss. They testify that the products also relieve ailments such as arthritis, headaches and heartburn.

Explanation of the Stair Step Compensation Plan:

Herbalife offers stair step breakaway compensation plan. It is difficult to explain this plan. The main principle of this compensation plan is that the distributors have to breach from the original sponsor as soon as they achieve a particular qualifying point.

Once they break away the original sponsor will receive a portion of the total volume of the distributor's collection. Although difficult to explain, Herbalife compensation plan is considered to be one of the best plans in the marketplace.

However, to succeed in this business, you have to recruit people. Herbalife is a great opportunities for those, who have the ability to build a team of 100 to 200 members and draw around $1000 residual income per month.

Herbalife is a great fit for every one. It has a good product line and fair compensation plan according to the internet marketing industry standards.

Reach for the Stars

By Healthy Wealthy nWise

President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., Dr. Joe Vitale is expert in the Law of Attraction, and has been featured in "The Secret". He has written books including, "The Attractor Factor, 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) from the Inside Out", "Life's Missing Instruction Manual: The Guidebook You Should Have Been Given at Birth", and "Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More".

Along with his books, Joe Vitale has a number-one bestselling audio program called "The Power of Outrageous Marketing". As the world's first hypnotic marketer, Joe has made millionaires and changed lives all over the internet and all over the world.

Writing has been a passion for Joe since he was a teenager. His inspiration first came from the "Twilight Zone" series. He just knew the writer behind such a phenomenon must be a god-like creature. He was a bit disappointed when he met Rod Serling in person and realized he was only a human. The disappointment didn't last long, though. If Serling could write, so could Vitale!

So, what makes Joe Vitale so successful? He gets that question a lot and always responds in the same way: he follows his driving enthusiasm. It doesn't matter what his interest is at the time, he follows it to the end of the Earth. Person, place or thing, he knows he's following his heart.

One of the pursuits Joe chased early in his career was to learn as much as possible about a man named Bruce Barton who was the founder of BBDO. After two long years of research, Joe wrote "The Seven Lost Secrets of Success". The book has been such a success that it has been reprinted approximately 20 times. He followed his passion down the road it led him, not knowing at the time it would end in a successful book.

"Follow your passions and make a million bucks this year?" No. It doesn't usually work that way. Joe Vitale is no exception to that rule. He, like most people, had to struggle a great deal in the beginning. For a while, he even became homeless. He took whatever job he could find just to feed his wife and himself. Never did he give up his passion for writing, though.

The key to coming out of your moneyless rut is to figure out what's holding you back. For Joe, it was an inward struggle. No one in his family was a writer (or a reader, for that matter). No one understood his drive for the printed word. He left his family and traveled 2,000 miles away to regain his self worth and overcome his issues with poverty.

Even if you're making money, perhaps you've hit an income ceiling like Joe did. Again, you have to figure out why. There is something hidden in your subconscious that's holding you back. For Joe, it was a struggle knowing he could make more money than his father and do it with a lot less effort than working on his father's railroad job. Overcoming this obstacle was the turning point for Joe. Find yours!

By Gordon Garza

The internet home based business is an easy and inexpensive industry to get into.

You will want to conduct proper research to avoid any potential barriers that will come between you and your success.

Initially you will build a successful internet site to house the products you wish to market. The products that are in the highest demand today are electronics and gadgets as well as electronic materials that are easily delivered through the internet.

These can be in the form of audio, video, software or even an e-book. To increase your potential earnings you will want to make sure you have a unique and impressive product that will effectually grab the attention of your audience.

Additionally you can choose to market an already existing well known product that has sufficiently gained popularity among the marketplace.

Web Sites: What you need to know

Once you have chose the product you wish to market you will want to develop a website to market the product online. It is this website that will play an important role in the success of your internet home based business.

Registering a domain name that is descriptive of the product you are marketing is optimal. Finding a dependable as well as reputable web host with easy management for your website too will prove to be beneficial. If you happen to be a talented web designer you can make a site that is professional looking and not too flashy. A website that is too busy or navigates like a hidden puzzle will frustrate the potential customer to the point where they will often seek another website.

Ensure that every aspect of your website is swift and friendly to use. The payment processor needs to be assigned in place, go for payment mediums such as Pay Pal, since it is free to use and easy to set up.

Likewise, your internet marketing home based business site needs to feature an instant and automatic product delivery. This is not only good for your customers, but it also saves time.

Finally, remember that the success of any internet marketing home based business is far beyond its convenience to its target customers. Hence, choose a good product and market it efficiently.

My Internet Business Basics: Selling To Where Online

By Trisha Frauenhofer

Before you launch your own webpage, there are a few options that you could try first. These options will give you a better feel for the internet in regards to buying and selling. These are a few of the website options and assistance with how to decide what to sell such as eBay and Etsy.

My internet business recommends that you start out small. There are three major venues for selling things on the internet before you take the plunge on your own web shop: eBay, Amazon Shops and Caf Press. We're going to explore all three to give you a baseline for comparison.

EBay offers options to having your own store or just your own auction site. You can personalize it however you want. You decide the price, shipping price, descriptions, and pictures. It is relatively simple to figure out and there is already a customer base. People from all over the globe recognize and use eBay. If you are going to venture here, avoid the places that will help you sell your things on eBay. They charge up to 30% of the purchase price. Doing this also will not help you reach your goal of launching your own webpage.

The next step up from Caf Press is Amazon Shops. Amazon Shops lets you print books on their Booksurge service, or just sell used books online. My internet business is not limited solely to books - we've sold tee shirts, cookwear and electronics on ours. Amazon Shops charges $40 per month as a listing fee and takes anywhere from 10% to 25% of the sale price of the item. The advantage is that it's a natural destination for selling things online. Millions of customers go to Amazon every day. The setup is more involved than Caf Press is, but the reduced fees probably make it worthwhile once your business grows.

Once you figure out what you want to buy, make sure it is selling and check out the competition. You can research similar products that are on eBay and read the customer reviews. These customer reviews are also another advantage to using eBay as a precursor to your own webpage. You can later state your rating and quote some customer reviews that you received from eBay.

The second option is to buy things locally and resell them at a higher price. Something that might be widely available in your area might be very hard to find other places. Some ideas for this are to collect used items to sell. It is good to find a particular product and make it your trade. One man that lives in my city makes a good living doing this kind of selling. He travels around town finding unique ties. He goes to garage sales and thrift stores. These are the two best places to find a large array of unique items to sell. He also finds out when local churches are having clothing drives so he can pick up some ties. Buying used items is a fun way to sell.

Checking out the sales niche means checking out the competition. Unless it's a really popular item (like, say, an iPhone), you're going to want to narrowcast your sales items. Always search for the item you intend to sell and look for other people selling the same thing or similar items. Watch how their auctions and sales options run.

A variation on buy wholesale and sell direct is to find something that's locally available and sell it for more money on eBay nationwide. This is a surprisingly effective avenue for all kinds of things, from rubber floor mats for automobiles to satellite dishes. Look for something that's being liquidated locally and work from there.

Unique Content - The key To Article Marketing

By Mark Thompson

Unless you're completely brand new to doing business on the internet, you'll have heard about article marketing. Article marketing is how a regular person like you or me can gain a foothold into niche markets and target interested and motivated visitors and turn them into interested and motivated buyers.

Article marketing without any shadow of a doubt is a very powerful tool for using to promote a website. Certainly, if done properly it is an extremely effective method of getting targeted traffic to your site and building backlinks. By using informative articles that are short to promote your site may seem a waste of time, but the actual return on the time you investment can be astounding. But just how does article marketing work?

To start with, for little or no cost, you can write articles and submit them to various article directories and other websites. In turn, these directories and websites publish your articles on their sites. The cumulative affect of this is that your site's search engine rankings will naturally rise due to all the backlinks you've gained from other sites using your content.

Article marketing is extremely viral. As you will find it only takes one well written article using the appropriate targeting keywords will allow you to generate numerous links back to your site or to some other designated landing page.

Article marketing also provides the added benefit allowing even a new website owner or author to develop a reputation as an authority in a niche. When a reader comes across your article through an article directory and is interested enough to click through your links and visit your site, you've been handed the opportunity to develop a relationship with that reader. It's up to you to cultivate that relationship by offering even more relevant content for your readers that addresses their questions, needs or wants.

Sometimes you may hear from others that article marketing is not longer effective or that by submitting your article to numerous article directories only results in duplicate content, and which may put your site at risk of being de-indexed by search engines.

However let us put aside the arguments in relation to duplicate just for now. Article marketing is still every bit as effective as other traffic or promotional tools being touted today. Different strategies for promoting business are coming and going all the time, however with article marketing it strength lies in the fact that the World Wide Web relies on it. There is a constant need for fresh and relevant content to be available for people to read and use.

Each and every day millions of potential customers are going online searching for information. By giving these potential customers the information they want you are placing yourself in a position from which you can profit. By writing many articles you will soon attact a steady stream of traffic to your websites. It's then just down to your site whether you convert that traffic into sales.

Article marketing today remains the one free or almost free way of being able to promote your website or product. It is the best way of being able to bring targeted traffic to you, as long as you are willing to work at it and produce consistent good quality articles over the long term.

Through writing articles which are informative and where well researched keywords have been used you will gain more exposure and your rankings in search engines will increase. But, if you just submit the same article to hundreds of article repositories or niche websites over and over again this will actually will reduce the effectiveness of your article marketing.

For your article marketing to succeed you should be aiming to submit unique versions of articles that you write to directories and websites. This may seem somewhat of a daunting task initially but the results you get back will be worth all the effort in the end. Gone are the risks of you producing duplicate content and slipping in search engine rankings. Yet whilst the definition of what actually constitutes duplicate content continues to be a subject for discussion, the majority of experienced webmasters are happy for around 30% difference in each article written.

Of course, the greater the difference between versions, the better, but keep in mind that the top search engines spiders review a webpage in its entirety and take other elements of the page into consideration. Even a seemingly small 30% change can be quite sufficient to avoid being "sandboxed".

The smartest way when it comes to article marketing is to ensure that you submit unique versions of your articles. Not only will you gain more targeted traffic, but the increase in the rankings tends to last for much longer because of the backlinks you have built through the marketing of unique articles.

This internet business has made me a lot of money

By John Wallen

There was a time I had to get up at four to make it to work by six. When I pulled in the drive way getting home, I was lucky to have two hours left before having to go to bed. It was like a revolving door week after week. Thank god those days are over, I can tune into the late shows and still get enough hours of rest.

Most of the time I could forget about sleeping in on weekends, cause I was always doing side jobs to help make it by. It never fails, you fix or replace something and something else goes wrong. Then I found this excellent opportunity on the internet that in a few weeks, even though I didn't have that much time to spend with it at first, made be some real good money!

The guys that started this company came up with something really good and are spending weekdays training people themselves over the internet on how to make money with this. I was spending half the time they were recommending and was doing great. It's a amazing how fast you can get going and it's very affordable, I have searched the web and found nothing like it.

With all the millions of people on the internet and the number is growing each day, it's great to have such a business you can jump into and turn the key to get started. You have to do nothing but use the tools in your back office to market quickly, and there is a lot more training archived there as well. It's unbelievable what they do for you. It's hard to fail when a business is put together this good!

You don't have to worry about sales material, marketing tools, capture pages, it's unbelievable the amount of tools waiting for you use, so you can get going quickly.

Learn the secrets of Affiliate Marketing

By Arvind Roy

There are no great secrets to affiliate marketing, just create a website for each product you are promoting. How many other businesses could you start up from scratch that can provide a health income like affiliate marketing? Of course the simplest way is often the best especially for beginners and a single page website can achieve the same results as a multi page site. What other business can you choose which company you want to sell a product for without an interview?

It is obvious, tha the very first task will be to decide for a product that could sell and there have been a lot of ways using which you can actually find a product. Each company has a terms and cond itions page for their affiliates which you should always check before you start selling for them. This is your chance to safeguard your earnings before you lose anything for a misunderstanding of their objectives. It is quite normal for certain companies that cannot send items to other countries to restrict where their members can live.

Unless you intend to have a massive turnover with a product, steer clear of affiliate programs with less than 50 percent commission payments. If you have never researched affiliate marketing before you can try to free web resources to find products and they are: google.com/trends/hottrends and Clickbank.com where you can also sign up for the programs using their own payment gateway.

You should always be wary of affiliate programs that require a registration or administration fee as they probably earn their income from the large number of people that sign up with them. The majority of programs will use Paypal or Clickbank and both are trustworthy so to ensure you are covered, register with both systems as it is free. At a later stage, trying different companies to handle payments will be fine but your inexperience in affiliate marketing at this point could lead you to making mistakes that are unnecessary.

The biggest problem when you are new at marketing affiliate products is finding good online help; care must be taken because it is easy to get information overload but there are sites and ebooks to help you. Do not concern yourself about the number of url's you see in ebooks, some but not all, have affiliate links for the author; you are unde no obligation to buy anything.

It is easy to spend a great deal of money when you start before you have made your first dollar if you are not careful; start by using whatever free resources you can at first. For a beginner this is a way to see if something works and to then trust the person who supplied it and buy from them at some point in the future.

Some people forget that not everyone searches for things online and to increase exposure to your website you need to consider other forms of advertising to succeed at affiliate marketing. The advertising only needs to direct people to your website where if it has been designed correctly, will do the work for you. A good way to find where all the traffic is being directed from is by using tracking, something that all professional affiliate marketers use regularly.

There is a great deal of money to be made with affiliate marketing because you are not restricted to just one product or company. A final warning is about just how easy it is to be sent off in the wrong direction because there is so much information to digest.

Earn Money Online With Low Maintenance Sites

By Mark Thompson

It can be very difficult to try to make money online while you are still working in full time employment. Family responsibilities and work related problems often eat into the time you have available for building your online business. One option would be to outsource some of the work but this then means you need to make much more money in order to start making a profit. It doesn't help that many guru's assume that you have all day to follow their programs.

I have lost count of the times we've had new members sign up who have spent hundreds of dollars on e-books and programs but have put none of it into practice because of lack of time. Or even worse have put it into practice but haven't had the necessary knowledge to take it any further and make a profit.

I talked to several people who have already spent over $1500 and don't know why they haven't made any money. What they haven't realized is that no matter what the program you are going to need to promote it.

In one of the forums i visit recently one of the members was telling everyone how he planned to start off by building 30 sites then leaving them for a few weeks and then seeing which ones were making money. He failed to grasp the fact that having bought 30 domains he would need to make over $300 before he broke even. Despite my best efforts he maintained that he had more chance of making money with 30 sites as he did by concentrating on one or 2 sites. He completely failed to take into account that he would need to promote all 30 sites and that would take 30 times more work that on 1 sites.

Try to find yourself some sites that don't take long to build and have a minimum amount of maintenance required. This will free up more of your time to promote these sites. Once you have made some profit you can then look at outsourcing. it's also a lot easier to make mistakes on 1 or 2 small sites than it is on 30 sites that you've just put up.

Before I moved onto my current projects I chose to build a number of Adsense sites. These took up very little time once they were built and I was able to promote them and update them on a regular basis. As soon as I was getting a good Income from them I was able to move on to other projects. I knew that whatever happened I had the income from the Adsense sites to fall back on.

If you are starting out or have yet to be successful take advantage of the free resources around you. Earlier in the year I combined 2 free resources with 2 monetization methods on a domain that cost me $8. This site takes less than 10 minutes a week to update. So far it's earned me in excess of $300. This isn't a huge amount but it's a regular income that could help you to move on to bigger things plus it costs me nothing and it only takes 10 minutes a week. All I used was Wordpress and Google alerts and Adsense and a Data Feed.

Use as many free resources as you can find. The less money you spend creating your sites the quicker you'll be in profit.

This is just one very simple method of creating low maintenance income there are many more available to you. You don't need to spend money to get started. If you would like more information on similar methods which won't cost you a fortune then please visit The Income Academy You'll find details below.

See How Easily You Can Get Links and Traffic to Your Site

By Brian Paul

To keep the costs of your internet business down but at the same time improve the number of visitors your get to your site you need to seriously consider article marketing. While the article should have value in itself for the person reading it, there should also be one or more back links to where they will find more information.

It shouldn't be too long before your site starts to receive traffic from this. Top sites are also viewed by search engines as authority sites so it is to your benefit in many ways to have your content accepted. You will become a 'trusted' person which means a great deal in the virtual world.

This method of article marketing needs to be done almost every day if you want your name to be associated as an expert so people look for your work. This is why it is so important to show people that you know what you are talking about so they trust the content you provide in the area you write about.

Over time the number of links you receive from other high ranking or authority sites will increase your own ranking with Google. As your ranking grows, there will be even more visitors to your site. Links from other sites (especially if they are popular) just improves your ranking and exposure; all at no charge, so free advertising is possible.

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page. Your article must have good content if you want it placed in many websites because this in turn will link back to your own website which of course will increase the website ranking.

The speed at which websites get visited and registered by search engines can be 'hit and miss'. During this period, the best thing to do is continue submitting your articles to a many popular sites as possible and write more because this can speed the process up.

Adding fresh and unique content to your site regularly will boost your article marketing campaign and help its ranking. The visitors you attract have no idea most of the time you are trying to sell them something. There is n reason why you cannot be truthful about what you are doing once they reach your website provided they have useful information.

This is the ideal time to highlight the benefits of the product or service to the visitor. This a little like taking them by the hand so they know what they are buying and most importantly, why. By doing this you are securing any order you make and will receive less refund requests.

Article marketing this way will ensure you will always get new visitors and retain existing ones; regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. The aim is to have other website owners link their site to yours in addition to using your content as well.

Your content or article will have information that other people are seeking. Never underestimate how easy it is to increase your site traffic at no cost. All you have to do is ensure your content is 'on topic' and unique to have constant visitors.

Here are 2 Quick Ways to Get Started Making Money Online

By Bryon Wenrich

The stress of a daily commute and working in a routine nine to five job is affecting increasing numbers of people who are turning their hands at making money online as a means to escape this drudgery. Each person that makes this decision wants to know what method contains the magic formula but this is different for everyone.

The information detailed here is about the most commonly used methods of earning money online but you need to work out what skills you can use for your new venture. Selling on the Internet is all about discovering what people desire and supplying it - simple isn't it!

One of the most popular methods of making money online is by affiliate marketing where a person becomes an unpaid (commissions only) salesperson for a company, internet or otherwise and is paid for sales, or on occasion leads. Affiliates don't have to endure the stresses and strains of running that company but still have the opportunity to earn a cut of it.

The hardest part of this is finding a company you know will be there in years to come so you can enjoy a good relationship with them and not have to keep swapping companies. Huge sums can be earned from a single sale depending on the product but you can expect anything up to seventy five percent or more for some programs.

The benefit for the affiliate is that he or she can make money online without having a product of their own to sell. This makes it very easy to get started, with little or no expense.

The second main method of making money online is Google with their adsense program, where adverts generated by them are placed on sites etc. and are keyword related to the content of that site. This is a simple system whereby Google pays each person who has an account with them (it's free) for every time the adverts are clicked, although this is a very small amount.

This particular system requires a very busy website or number of websites to get enough clicks to pay a decent income. Google are very strict regarding their terms for the adverts placed on any site and can easily stop payment so check their terms and conditions regularly.

While almost anyone can join Google's program, care is needed as they are continually updating and amending their terms and conditions which will affect your revenue. There are many reasons why people desire to make money online; it maybe for earning extra income or just to making a living from working at home.

Right from the start you need to learn how to get people to visit your site, called traffic so it is worthwhile doing some research on how this is done. While I could supply many online places to go, your first port of call is joining the www.warriorforum.com and get yourself known to the other members. This place is full of every type of information used by internet marketers.

Find a path that appeals to you, and stick to it, without getting distracted by all the other offers for get rich methods that you will see. Persevere and you will begin to see results that will give you more motivation to continue until you are successful.

Explode your Online Business with Article Marketing

By Mark Hall

New methods of getting traffic to your site are being devised constantly but article marketing is still the best way to drive visitors without having to pay anything out. Articles can be used for almost anything on the Internet from social networking sites to blogs and each one can contain a one or more links to your main website. The best place to submit articles is site where you know they have a great deal of traffic every day; an increase in visitors to your site should happen quite quickly. Top sites are also viewed by search engines as authority sites so it is to your benefit in many ways to have your content accepted; you will become a 'trusted' person which means a great deal in the virtual world.

Article marketing carried out regularly can bring fantastic rewards as people begin to see you as an expert in your field. Showing people you are knowledgeable on certain topics means they will trust whatever you write and bookmark your site. Incoming links to your site from people that trust your work will boost your ranking with the various search engines; the benefit of this is there will be an increase in people that find you through the search engines. Links from other sites (especially if they are popular) just improves your ranking and exposure; the greatest benefit of this is none of it is costing you a single dollar!

A number of links to other relevant sites can be placed in the body text (not too many) when using article marketing. When your articles are good, they get spread around the internet and of course each version will have links back to your own so the more links you have, the more your ranking will grow. It is not unusual for Google and other search engines to take months before they start to list a website. Although you cannot rush the search engines directly, submitting more articles and using the authority sites will help enormously.

To increase your website ranking further, you need to be adding more content (preferably unique) to your website (or blog) all the time if you want your article marketing to work. Remember that visitors do not know that your website is trying to get them to buy something. Visitors are searching for information so the more precise and truthful you can be about whatever it is you are promoting the better. This is the ideal time to highlight the benefits of the product or service to the visitor. This procedure is almost like a safety net because you are explaining the process to them so they will not misunderstand. It is this approach that prevents a good many refunds form taking place.

If you want visitors to your websites then you must continue your article marketing this way; this does require you to understand that all of this cannot be achieved with just one article. Remember, if you have an interesting site you will also receive links from other website owners who may also use your article as well; your content or article will have information that other people are seeking. You cannot dismiss just how effective article marketing is at getting people to your site for free; provided you keep adding unique, but relevant, content to your site, visitors will return.

Web Marketing Strategies - Designing Savvy Web Pages That Produce

By Trisha Frauenhofer

You don't have to be an expert at design to follow these simple tips to making your web page more appealing. The first thing people notice when they click into your page are the colors. When putting together your color scheme, make sure it is consistent throughout each page of the website. When deciding on colors, consider how they make you feel. If someone has visited your page, you don't need to go bright, they are already there. Too much color might be overwhelming. Try to keep the colors nice but not forefront over your product. Choose colors that highlight your products, and go along with the theme of what you are selling.

First, people will notice your site's color scheme before they see anything else. When assembling your site, put some thought into your colors and how they'll be used to set your company's thematic presence; make sure they're consistently applied, and reflect on how the colors resonate with you emotionally. Choose colors that highlight your products, and don't overwhelm.

Building off of a consistent color scheme, make sure the theme and layout are consistent throughout your site. It's a part of your image, and it's a part of what people will remember about your site. Put the navigational tools in the same place on every page, and consider using server side includes to make sure that they're present on all pages.

Another thing to avoid is the overuse of effects and images. Some sites use fade in and out, fancy page switchers and graphics. Although pretty, they can slow down the navigation significantly.

Your theme choice and color scheme will compensate for missing out on the snazzy gee whiz options. It will do you more good in the long run to focus on the message, on the content, within a decent framework that won't cause your readers to stick their eye out with a fork.

When designing your site, it is important to let people know what your contents are right away. Have a good site index and clear intentions. Your messages need to be conveyed in a clear way without using jargon that most people would not understand.

While you're investigating what your site is going to look like, remember that people read at 400 words per minute; they listen at 100 words per minute. Keep this in mind when putting content out - anything that has to be clicked on and listened to is an invitation to use the back button.

Maximize your audience potential. Focus on clarity of communication above all else, and focus on human readable web pages. A lot of internet sites focus on Search Engine Optimization to the extent that while web spiders get lured in, human readers hit the back button fast. It's your information that's pulling people in and making them read the site. Cater to that. Lastly, update, update, update. Remember the mention of a content management system? The purpose of that is to make sure that you can update the site painlessly and easily, and give people a reason to come back. Always be on the look out for a new informational value add for your site which is one of the top web marketing strategies.

XanGo Scam or Real Business Opportunity

By Gordon Garza

A multi-level, international company known as Xango, LLC (Limited Liability Company) was launched in 2002. It is located in the United States in Lehi, Utah. A dietary supplement in the form of a dual-fruit infusion known as Xango Juice is the principle product promoted by the company. For around $37.50, you can get a bottle of the mysterious juice which contains an unknown amount of mangosteen juice.

Over the past few years, the success of the Xango company has been exposed to the public by the triumphs of the product. Amplified energy and improved health are a couple of the benefits claimed in the many user testimonials after drinking Xango Juice. There are some individuals who were so pleased with their success using the product that they became distributors with Xango.

Xango products reveal the success of the company in the past few years. There are several testimonials and stories out there, to state that people have experienced enhanced health condition and increased energy by consuming Xango mango juice. In addition, there are individuals who have pleasured to become distributor of Xango product.

In May 2004, XanGo received a patent from the United States government. As a product of XanGo Goodness, a charitable program formed by XanGo in 2007, a "XanGo Goodness Meal Pack" was born. This meal pack contains several nutrients in the form of a soluble powder. However, there is no portion of mangosteen in this product. This charity was made possible by XanGo's yearly income of around $360,000,000.

The firm exports mangosteen pulp from South East Asia to the United States in its manufacturing house to produce the juice. After that, the company sells it in the U.S. and exports it to Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Australia, and Malaysia.

In 2004, sales of Xango Juice were $150 million, which just about triples the sales from the previous year which fell in at around $40 million.

Distribution

The July 2007 declared that, it had around 5,000 distributors in Malaysia in its very first month and, hence is proposing to launch its network in other Asian countries such as Pakistan, India, Brunei, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Of late in October 2007, the company inaugurated its network in Taiwan.

Usually, the firm trades Xango Juice hugely with a nine layer multi marketing procedure. The company stated that, it had 350,000 distributors worldwide in June 2006. Later on, in July 2006, the firm once again stated to the Federal Trade Commission that, it had around 500,000 independent distributors globally, which boosted around 700,000 in 2007. Same year in November, the company reported of having 600 personnel at its Lehi headquarters. Xango issued a single serving pouch that was accessible for purchase through distributors in 2008.

Using Audio to Boost Conversions

By Ray Edwards

In a previous article, I discussed using audio to get more testimonials on your site. There are other great reasons to use audio, as well. Audio is a "secret weapon" that can boost your conversions. If you do it right, it will increase your sales.

Spend an hour adding audio to three key parts of your website and watch conversions soar.

I believe the best tool on the market for putting audio on your website is Audio Generator. Here's the site: http://newaudiomarketing.com. It is extremely easy to use. In fact, I find that most people end up putting more audio on their site once they have an Audio Generator account just because it is so easy to use.

Add audio to these three areas, and start boosting your conversions right away:

Your squeeze page. Just record the copy that is already on your squeeze page. You can try something like, "Hi, this is Ray Edwards, and welcome to my site. I can't wait to tell you all about my copywriting services, and how I can increase your sales, reduce returns, and help you build your business. To find out more, just fill in your name and e-mail address below, then click the submit button." That's a quick example off the top of my head, to give you an idea of how it should sound. Make your audio play automatically on this page. You may annoy a few people, but you will sell to a whole lot more. I've personally tested this for my clients' websites - clients like Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Alex Mandossian. In almost every case, autoplay leads to higher opt-in rates.

The sales page, right in your guarantee. Add a press-to-play button in the guarantee area of your sales page. Test data shows that this gives a bigger boost in conversions. People are reassured to hear a guarantee spoken - text just isn't that comforting, sometimes.

The order page. This is another area where autoplay works wonders! After customers click the "buy" button, leading to the shopping cart or order page, they hear a message that gives them a boost: "Congratulations on a smart decision. You get great benefits by signing up now, benefits like (fill in the blank). Simply fill out your name and complete the billing information below. After you double-check your information, simply click the submit button." This audio feed will give you more completed orders - your customers will have a great reason to complete their sale.

How to Get Endless Testimonials on Autopilot

By Ray Edwards

Most marketers struggle to get a large number of good testimonials they can use on their website. I'm talking about great testimonials - audio and video testimonials that really convince people!

How can you get great testimonials? Well, doing great work is a start! Your fans will want to help you spread the word. However, even your biggest fans may need a little push to get those testimonials flooding in.

So, how can you get those testimonials flowing in? There are three simple steps that you can follow, steps that can result in a flood of testimonials.

Take some time to set up audio on your site - it is a powerful promotional tool. The easiest and best way, in my opinion, is to use the Audio Generator at www.NewAudioMarketing.com. It is easy to use, and works wonders.

There are three ways to increase your testimonials today:

Ask for them. If you have provided any kind of service to your list at all, you can e-mail them asking for testimonials. Your e-mail could say something like this: "Dear Ray, In the past you purchased product X from us. Could you take a few minutes and tell us how you like it and what you thought of your experience with our company. If you have positive comments, we might even use it in our marketing. Thanks so much for your cooperation." Of course, you can word it differently, so they know it's from you, and not me. Just asking for the testimonials will produce a great response.

Create an ATM (Automated Testimonial Machine). This great machine works all day, every day. I have one on my website, and it works wonders! This Audio Generator feature can be found at: http://rayedwards.com/feedback to see "Ray's Automated Testimonial Machine".

Ask for them repeatedly (in your autoresponders). Set this on autopilot! Put the testimonial request e-mails into your autoresponder sequence. Over a period of days or weeks (whatever you feel comfortable with), you will ask, more than once, for your readers, subscribers, customers and prospects to give you their testimonials. And, of course, you will send them to your Automated Testimonial Machine!

If you put these techniques into practice, as I do, you'll find you have an automated stream of testimonials that take on a life of their own. Wouldn't that be a great thing?

Passport to Wealth - Scam or Real Business - Overview

By Gordon Garza

Home business opportunities have increased with the launching of a new company. Passport to Wealth uses direct marketing to promote and sell products and has a number of software programs on the internet.

This software allows you to receive $75,000 worth of product for only $997 along with the rights of resale. This is a grand concept that can build your fortune.

It is important; however, to fully understand the product line as well as its potential for resale. You will also want to explore the products from shareware sites and if the products of Passport to Wealth utilizes the latest technology as well as finding out the date of production.

2-Up & 2-Down Compensation Plan: Review

Passport to Wealth adopts "aussie two up" plan. It is a famous marketing plan. Passport to Wealth allows you to pay sign up charges and get the product for $997. Then, you have to work and try to make the first sale. After the first sale, you get a check of $1000. However, this goes to the sponsor who helped you to sign up in the Passport to Wealth.

Next you will prepare to make the second sale. Often the first two sales in online marketing are the most difficult. Once you have made the second sale you will receive another check that again will go to your sponsor. This is the reason for the term 2-Up plan.

So when do you actually make money? After the third sale you keep that money and you will also get money from the first two sales of anyone in which you sponsor. After a recruit pays you for their first two sales you are no longer eligible to receive money from them.

Once you are in the 2-Down portion of the plan you make money for yourself. You have paid your 2-UP to your sponsor and you are on the same page as competitors. This is true for your recruits as well. This will all be with sufficient support from the system.

Right Internet Marketing Concept:

An essential element to promoting genuine products is in right marketing. It matters little how genuine or great the products are you need to effectively promote them to boost your sales. This will more than likely come by way of advertising online.

With a little skill in internet marketing and a level of understanding the ins and outs of marketing your product you will be on your way to wealth with the Passport to Wealth program.

Copywriting Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them

By Ray Edwards

There are three common mistakes copywriters make which hurt sales and reduce the number of opt-ins. The aim of direct-response copywriters is to get a response, but these simple mistakes can render your written copy ineffective.

By eliminating these mistakes, your copy will demand attention, with more sales and more opt-ins than before.

Today's resource is www.WebCopyWritingExplained.com where you can download some free copywriting videos. This is, of course, my site.

What are these common mistakes? I don't mean syntax errors or spelling mistakes. I'm talking about problems in your mindset, errors that can have major effects on your copy.

Here are three common mistakes you should avoid:

Not writing to the reader. Robert Collier, a direct-response genius, tells writers that they must join a conversation with the reader, one that is already going on in the reader's mind. You don't have to become a mind-reader. Just get to know your audience - what they want, need, and desire. Use words that echo their thoughts and emotions. That is the only way to get their attention. In his book Breakthrough Advertising, Eugene Schwartz says, "You cannot, with your copy, create desire. You can only channel desire that already exists."

Copy that sounds like advertising. Many copywriters are guilty of this - they see truly inspiring copy, and want to follow the same style. But is that style appropriate for the product you are selling, and the readers to whom you are selling it? There's nothing wrong with finding inspiration, but you must write to your reader. Writing to impress other copywriters won't sell products or services. It's a sure promotion-killer!

Not knowing the product. Eugene Schwartz often wrote book promotions. He would actually read the book. He wouldn't just read it once, either - he would read it three or four times, and make pages and pages of notes while he read. Only then would he write the sales copy. Writing copy for a product you know nothing about is a terrible disservice to your customers. If you know your product intimately, your copy will improve dramatically. Better sales will follow.

Cash In With the Power of Niche Marketing

By Ray Edwards

Today's topic is all about using niche marketing to improve the bottom line of your business.

Fred Kerr and Ed Dale made niche marketing popular with their course, "Underachiever". With the demise of the course, people thought that niche marketing was also dead. The rumor persists that you can't make a profit with this technique.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Niche marketing still works and you can still make A LOT of money doing it. In fact, I have a friend who has some niche websites in obscure markets that make him about $8000 a month, and his business is growing every month because he uses the principles of good marketing. Basic things you can learn from various Internet marketing teachers.

I have another friend, Dr. Andrew Jones, who started as a client, then a coaching student and now a friend. He started with a little $27 e-book in a niche market, and has grown it into a $15,000/month business. And it's still growing!

Want to know how it works? Through my coaching program, I can teach you how you can draw on niche markets. There are still spaces available for the next course. Visit this site at www.rayedwards.com/letmein, 5k In 30 Days, for more information. I can't wait to see you there!

The purpose of my article, though, is not to sell you my coaching program. What I want to do is sell you the idea that niche marketing works and is still quite a profitable option. In fact, I'd like to give you 5 steps to building your niche market empire fast and easy. Admittedly this is a broad overview. But, these are steps you can do yourself, without giving me any money or finding the information yourself! They will require some work, but you already know that, right? You know that you aren't going to just push a button and have money come spewing out of your CD Rom drive.

Here are those 5 steps:

Locate a product. I say "locate", not "create", because a lot of people are intimidated by product creation (even though product creation is the easiest thing in the world to do!). The easiest thing that you can do is locate products by finding private label rights packages that give you the right to re-publish product that has already been created. Now, you may think that these products are not worth your time, because everyone's already seen them, or they don't work, or, or, or The startling truth is that while many people are on private label rights sites, very few actually use those products. So, if you do a good job re-packaging the product, change the title, change the graphics, and you can have a ready-made product in a very short time. I promise you can do this in less than an hour. Just pick one, don't look for the perfect one! Less than an hour!

Set up your sales page and testing software. Most private label rights packages come with a pre-written sales page. Ideally, you don't want to use this forever, but it's a good place to start; then you can test it using Google's Website Optimizer and tweak it to improve your sales.

Link payment pages to Clickbank or Paypal. Both of these sites will process your payment for a nominal fee, which saves you the hassle of setting your site up to process credit cards.

Use Adwords to drive traffic. Set up an Adwords account with Google and go through the great tutorials Google provides to learn how to use it. It's easy!

Go back, Jack, and do it again!

I have one last piece of advice for you. Many people have picked "How to make money online" as their niche market. While a lot of people make money with this approach, the competition is fierce! Try to pick a less-competitive market to begin with - you won't have to deal with sophisticated competition, and your hard work will pay off in better rewards.

How to Turbo-Charge Your Product Launch

By Ray Edwards

Many marketers wonder if product launches still work. We all know the techniques, we all see it coming. Could this formula still work? Why do a product launch, anyway?

It's true that "standard" product launches are not as effective as they were a year ago. Despite that, product launches are as strong as ever.

You need to accept that all the easy pickings are gone. In order to create a successful product launch today, there are steps you need to take. Follow the formula created by Jeff Walker - it works beautifully!

You may have heard of the Membership Site Bootcamp launch. Jeff was the quarterback for that launch (for which I wrote the copy), which created $1.7 million in the first week! So, yes, product launches are still an effective way to create a profit windfall!

Jeff's original Product Launch Formula is at www.TheProductLaunchFormula.com. I encourage you to check it out. Even if you don't plan on buying Jeff's wonderful course, he gives away great information. Don't miss it.

Use the following tactics to add punch to your product launch:

Use a "reverse squeeze page". This term was created by John Reese, I believe, and not too long ago at that. In this case, you offer free content before you ask for their opt-in information. As an example, you offer them a free article or video. At the end, advise clients that you will be creating more of the same. "If you'd like to get more videos absolutely free, fill in your name and e-mail address." In this case, you give something to get something.

Give them your best material up front, for free. No, I'm not crazy. When I suggest this, the most common response is, "But if I give them my best stuff for free, there won't be anything to sell them!" In fact, this is not a problem. The great copywriter Eugene Schwartz, author of Breakthrough Advertising, pioneered this method, and it works! He found that when you gave away something terrific, people's perceived value of your other products increases. Readers think, "WOW! If this is what they give away for free, their other stuff must be incredible!" So what happens if they get into your site and find that your product isn't as good as the stuff you gave away free? That's when you benefit from the "Halo Effect". People will be amazed by your great freebies, and so credit your saleable material as being better than it may actually be. It takes no manipulation on your part.

Share your story with your sublist. Don't e-mail them to tell them that you're going to sell to them. That's not a story - it's a statement. People love stories. Offer them personal insights into the business, tell them how the launch is progressing, or take them to blog posts. Use all the principals of influence that Jeff teaches in his course. It's worth it!

I highly recommend Jeff's Product Launch Formula, and think it's a wise investment. If you can't get it right now, use these three tips for your next product launch. You'll improve your conversions and get more business.

Just Plain Talk - Copywriting Without Hype

By Ray Edwards

Every day, I see online copy filled with hype. Despite the fact that hype turns off readers, clients, and even other copywriters, it is still with us. Truth be known, I've been guilty of writing hype myself, probably more than once. So how can we get away from writing hype instead of great copy?

Today's site, http://thecopydoctoronline.com - The Copy Doctor, will help you to fine-tune your copy, avoiding hype while maximizing its impact.

These three simple steps can help eliminate hype from your copy:

Feel your reader's pain. Your reader's pain is the focus of their awareness. Empathize with them. Use language that tells the reader you understand and you have a solution to offer. Even if you make other extraordinary claims about your product, your reader won't see it as hype when it is relevant to their problems and their life.

Tell Stories. Your copy shouldn't be just about facts and figures. Tell your readers a story. Politicians are masters at this. Ask any politician a question, and chances are you will get a story: "Well, I'm glad you asked me that. Just last week, I was chatting with Millie Pye, who also lives on Social Security, and she ". Off they go, into a story. Of course they rehearsed it, were waiting for this very question so they could tell their tale. Story-telling works because it draws you in (whether you like it or not). It's pretty hard to argue with a story!

Detail over description! Too many adverbs and adjectives can make your copy look like hype. Don't believe me? Look at this phrase: "We have the greatest company in the world! Our boss is fantastic!" Sounds like a load of bull, doesn't it? With a bit of work, it can change to this: "Our CEO, Bob Smith, graduated from the Harvard School of Business. Over the past ten years, he has increased the profitability of this company by over 15% every year." While the first example is full of hype (and not much else!), the second example offers simple details of Bob Smith's education and career all hype-free.

Read Your Way to Better Sales

By Ray Edwards

If you want to make a quick boost in the results your copy brings home, take a look at some of the better books on the subject of copywriting, and marketing in general. Some of the very best learning you can do about writing copy comes from inexpensive books on the subject - and even books off the subject.

Great writers improve their writing by reading books. This is a great way to improve your skills in the copywriting field, too. Today, I'll offer you a few suggestions for books that will quickly boost your copywriting results.

Three of these books are about copywriting. A fourth book is off-topic, but still valuable for learning.

The first suggestion I have is The Robert Collier Letter Book by Robert Collier. This is a classic in the marketing & copywriting industry. Much of the book consists of ads that Collier himself wrote. The language is a little dated, giving it kind of an early-last-century feel, but the principles hold true.

John E. Kennedy's Reason Why Advertising is a fantastic book. It is harder to find than the others. At the end of this article, I will provide you with resources to find books like this.

My final choice may raise a few eyebrows, but it's not as silly as it seems. Green Eggs and Ham is not about copywriting, true. But it IS about selling! Enjoy this Dr. Seuss book at any time - with a fox, in a box or with a mouse, in a house.

It may seem silly to read a children's book to improve your business, but this book is all about persistence in making a sale. Dr. Seuss teaches us valuable marketing lessons which we can apply to our advertising strategy. Convert more clients into buyers - read Dr. Seuss!

As promised, I have a good resource for you, and here it is: www.SFSBookstore.com. This site is run by a friend of mine named Bret Ridgeway of Speaker Fulfillment Services. He specializes in hard-to-find books on marketing and copywriting. It's well worth taking a look there.

One of the best investments you can make in your business is information. The books I have recommended will be a valuable addition to any marketing and copywriting library. They won't cost a fortune, and the money you invest will provide you with great returns. They are truly valuable to improve your copywriting skills.

Stamp Out Writer's Block

By Ray Edwards

Up front, I have to say one thing: I don't think Writer's Block exists. It is a fantasy that we have made up, a mythical fairy tale. In the real world, you are either "writing" or "not writing".

Can you imagine seeking medical assistance, only to be told by the doctor, "I can't help you today, because I've got a terrible case of Doctor's Block"? Of course not. It would be silly. Writers are no different - you just may not feel like writing today.

Writer's block is really only a resistance to writing. Today, I'll recommend a great resource. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is a highly-recommended and very powerful book that can help you break through the myths of writer's block.

So how can you smash through those barriers to stamp out writer's block? Are there any practical tips to get through this?

Use these three tips to break through writer's block:

Sit down and write SOMETHING! Anything, it doesn't matter what. Fill out a card, send a note to a friend, or write really awful poetry - anything to break through the barrier. Suddenly, you realize that your writer's block has magically dissolved, like the myth that it is.

Change your emotional state using tips from Tony Robbins. Pay attention to your focus, physiology, and language.

Since Focus is what you choose to put your attention on, don't focus on your Writer's Block. Focus on something else. Focus on writing something different, like we mentioned before, or focus on the state of your health, and how great you feel. Focus on reading through the notes you have on your project - even though you're not going to write - just read them.

Physiology - How you use your body. I promise you, if you sit at your computer, slumped over, eyes down, with your chin in your hands, you're not going to be in the most resourceful state to write. So sit up straight, take some deep breaths, clap your hands together, poise your fingers over the keyboard and get ready to fire off some copywriting brilliance. I know that sounds corny, but try it!

Language - The meaning you give to the situation. If, internally, you are thinking that Writer's Block means, "I'm lazy; I can never sit down and write; I don't have the discipline; this proves how lazy I am." If these are the signals you are sending to your brain, change your language! Talk to yourself in a way that encourages yourself to write. Understand that the fact that you are experiencing so-called Writer's Block doesn't mean you are lazy, it just means you are encountering resistance. Now you've learned some techniques in this article to overcome this resistance. Rejoice! You know how to overcome it now!

Jot down all those reasons why you aren't writing. Grab a pen and paper, or sit at your keyboard, and write down all the excuses you use to get out of writing. Perhaps you don't feel like writing because you are tired, or perhaps you argued with your friend. Whatever it is, write it down. Then look honestly at those reasons. Don't they look kind of silly? Often, when I perform this exercise, I have to laugh at all those reasons - they seem so logical in my head, and yet on paper they look ridiculous! I start to laugh, and my writing flows again.

Why do these tips work? Because in my opinion - and in my experience - your "Writer's Block" never existed to begin with!

How to Increase Opt-In Page Conversions

By Ray Edwards

Lately, I hear a lot of complaints from Internet marketers. They complain that people just don't opt-in to squeeze pages any more.

Thanks to spam, fear, and paranoia, it's now harder than ever to get an opt-in. Used to be you could put a form on your web page that said, "Sign up here to get e-mails." Literally, you could use those exact words.

People would opt-in like crazy! E-mails, e-newsletters -- everything was so new and exciting. My, how things have changed. Today, we are deluged with e-mails. People are constantly changing e-mail addresses. People have multiple e-mail addresses - heck, some people even have a fake e-mail address that they never check, just to deal with all the spam.

Finding genuine opt-ins is challenging. Is there a way that you can ensure your opt-ins are from real people who will actually read your e-mails?

The good news is that you can increase your opt-ins, using simple proven methods that need little work.

Here are three tactics you can use to get more opt-ins:

Make a stronger offer. We all know you have to give an ethical bribe to get people to opt-in - a special report, an audio, a video, a piece of software. If you just say, "Sign up to get my newsletter", to the average reader that means, "Sign up so I can spam you." You need to be more creative. Work harder to create a better premium to offer your subscribers. If you're offering a special report, it better be a killer special report, and not the same old crap that everybody else is offering. You need to come up with a unique angle, it needs to be well-written. Same is true of audio, video or software - it needs to be well-done, it needs to be unique - something obtainable only through you, and it needs to address a need that is in line with the desires of your readers.

Try a BIG, responsive HTML button. Before we go further, check out my website at www.RayEdwardsCopy.com. Do you see anything interesting about the opt-in button? For one thing, it's really big! You can't miss it. This button isn't just large, though - the color changes from red to green as your cursor slides over it. This is a subtle psychological technique to bring the customer from "Stop" to "GO!" Sure, it may sound a bit silly, but it really works to increase conversions. And it's not just me saying that. My colleagues - Armand Morin, Michel Fortin, even Eric Graham, The Conversion Doctor -- have noticed the same thing. I highly recommend these larger buttons to you, too.

Keep all distractions off your opt-in pages. Look at my page again. You'll notice there are no distractions available. I have some legal notices at the bottom of the page, but they are required to be there (You should have legal notices at the bottom of your pages, too). But notice that I display them in subtle fashion, and when you click on them, they open in smaller pop-up windows, and don't lead people away from my opt-in page.

While these tactics seem simplistic, they really work. Try them, and increase your opt-in page conversions today.

Build your List the Fast and Easy Way

By Ray Edwards

My subject today is a popular one: Rapid list building made easy. I get a lot of questions asking how to build a list and do it quickly.

Building a list is easier than you think.

There are very simple techniques used to build your list.

Here are three tactics you can use to build your list fast:

Use a "squeeze page". I find that, while everyone seems to know about the effectiveness of a squeeze page, few are actually doing it, or if they are, they're not using a true squeeze page. You must admit, it takes a little bit of backbone to say, "You don't get to see anything until you give me your e-mail address!" I promise you, though, use a squeeze page and you'll get subscribers, and you'll build your list. If you look at my squeeze page at www.rayedwardscopy.com, you'll see that I don't even offer an ethical bribe to get people to opt-in, yet my conversion rate for this page is about 38%.

Do "ad swaps" with other list owners. Look for people with ads in their e-zines, contact them and say, "Hey, I have an e-zine, too! How about we trade ads?" Then, you run an ad for their list and they run an ad for your list. Or, if they don't offer ads (or you don't offer ads), simply contact them and say, "I would like to promote your email newsletter to my subscribers, would you do the same for me?" In your e-mail newsletter, then, you just write a little paragraph that says, "I've discovered a great newsletter that I think you'd enjoy. Here's the link." This, by the way, is one of the best and fastest ways to build your list. I know, I know, it's too easy. But, it works.

Get opt-ins from forum postings. Do you have an ethical bribe for your customers - a special report or article, a .pdf, piece of software, or audio clip? Most forums will let you add (as an example) "To get my 'Seven Tips on Building Your List', click here." The link takes them directly to your opt-in page. Don't put blatant ads on forums, as it is frowned upon. However, if you could spend twenty minutes a day visiting ten forums, answering questions along the way, and providing good content, you can build your list like crazy. Does this really work? Of course! Every day, I get new subscribers from this tactic - so many that I hardly have time to post anymore!

How to Destroy Your Competition

By Ray Edwards

I've titled this article in a sensational way. I hope I don't offend you, but I wanted to provoke your interest.

Despite the title, I'm really not a cut-throat kind of guy. I know there is enough wealth and opportunities for everyone. I really want everyone to succeed. I just want YOU to do better! I know you can.

Marketers battle to stay ahead of the competition. Despite their efforts, they struggle to just stay even with their competitors. In truth, these marketers are only 2 mm away from greatness. Allow me to explain:

Recently, I attended an event with Tony Robbins - you know, the one where participants walk over hot coals in bare feet? It changed my life! I don't mention that to brag about walking on fire (though you must admit that it sounds pretty cool!). I only mention it to share with you one of the most important lessons I learned there - that the difference between good and great is only 2 mm.

Pilots must navigate accurately. What happens if they start off 2mm off-course? Over time, they could end up miles away from their destination, maybe even miss the airport altogether!

Another example Tony gave is of a world-class plastic surgeon who is considered the master of his craft at making faces more attractive. The documentation he has produced, from all of the surgeries he has performed, shows that almost all of his surgeries require only about 2mm of change or less to effect a dramatic improvement in a person's looks.

So how can this help your business? Well, the difference between simply keeping up with the competition and leaving them in the dust is only about 2 mm. This is a metaphor, but it does show that you only need a small effort to make a huge difference.

My recommendation is that if you can beat your competition by "2mm" in at least three of these categories that matter to your customers, you will win.

Check out these five "2 mm Differences" that can make a huge difference to your business. If you pick three, only three, and work hard at those three, you will destroy your competition. Here they are:

1. Look and feel. Improving the look and feel of your website will give you an initial edge over your competition.

2. Follow-Up marketing. Follow up with customers. It makes them feel as though you value their business, and can have a big impact on repeat clients.

3. Testing and Tracking. You might think your customers don't care about this, because they don't even know about it. But whether they're conscious of it or not, it does matter to them, because it's all about finding the language your customers respond to the most.

4. Adwords Campaigns. Most online marketers don't spend any time on their Adwords marketing. I've been guilty of this myself! We need to change this, because becoming 2mm better in your Adwords campaign, combined with 2 of these other 5 differences will give you the potential to slaughter your competitors!

5. Backend Sales. Why stop with just one sale, when you can provide ongoing sales to clients? Look for ways to provide more products or services to customers after their first purchase.

Of course, these aren't the only 5 categories for improvement - you could come up with many more - but I would encourage you to pick three of these categories and improve them by "2mm". See if it doesn't give you a boost over your competition.

Are Long Copy Sales Letters Dead?

By Ray Edwards

Many people that I speak to think long copy is dead. They say that nobody reads it, it's not effective any more, that long copy is hopelessly old-fashioned and out-of-date. I think that the demise of long copy has been exaggerated. Long copy still works and lives.

There are some very good reasons for creating long sales letters. In my online course, I discuss the differences between long and short copy, and explain how and why long copy really works. Check out my online course at WebCopyWritingExplained.com for more information.

There are three reasons why long copy is effective:

People love to read about what they love. Whatever your passion, don't you love to visit websites or read books that tell you more? There's a certain thrill in finding a great book on your favorite topic. Here in Spokane, my favorite bookstore is Auntie's Bookstore. When I go there to research a topic, I find it irresistible. I don't just buy one book on that topic - I buy ALL the books on that topic! If you could see my office here, you would see hundreds of books on marketing, copywriting, and web conversion. That's my passion. We all love to read about our favorite topics, and that certainly includes sales letters about our favorite topics.

Selling online is different from selling in person. When you deal with a client in person, you aren't only listening to what he says. You are also reading his body language, looking for clues to his thoughts. By contrast, when you sell online, you lose all those valuable visual cues. Instead, you have to define your client's objections in advance, then answer these objections. This can take a lot of words, and lead you directly to long copy!

Long copy tells a story. People love stories. Don't believe me? Check out Seth Godin's book, All Marketers Are Liars. In it, he discusses the power of using stories to sell a product, and how this can help your business.

Interested? Here is a simple formula that will help you write a four-part long copy sales letter. I credit this method to John Carlton - his materials are highly recommended! Try these steps:

Here's what I have to offer. Here you explain exactly what you are offering to people reading your copy.

Here's why it's right for you. Explain your solution to your reader's problems.

Here are some answers for you. Here, you answer any questions that they may have in advance.

Here's what to do now. Buy! Call now! Right now! That's what you want them to do right now!

It is interesting to note that you could use each of these headlines, exactly as written, to start each section in your copy. Try it -- it really works!

How To Create And Online Income

By Mark Thompson

How many of you reading this have seen those ads that tempt you with pictures of Ferrari's, yachts and big houses. Do those programs work? No, not unless you are the owner. You are probably wondering if there is actually a way that you can make an online income

You'll be glad to know that there is a way to make money online but it does require you to do some hard work at the start. When i started I used to work 12 to 18 hours every day until I say an income starting to build. Only then could I start to relax. Part of my problem was that I had no one to guide me or tell me where I was going wrong.

Before you stare spend an hour working out exactly what you want from life. Don't focus on fast cars or big houses but more on the things that matter. The Yachts and Houses are just what we are told that we want and are transient.

What would you really like from life? Not having to set the alarm every morning so that you aren't late for work? Being able to take a day off when you feel like it? How about watching your family grow up before your eyes and being able to spend quality time with them after school. All this and more is possible if you are earning an online income. Focus on what really matter to you and you will achieve it.

I look at building an income the same way I look at building a house. First of all get the strong foundations in place, then work on putting in the walls and finally add the roof to make it all water tight. The foundations should be a really strong income stream that you can rely on and that will provide you an income for a long time.

When I started my foundations were based on 3 types of income that had a long history of paying out on time every month. Amazon, Adsense and Clickbank. I created good quality sites and then focused on driving traffic to them using article marketing. It took a while to get a decent income but when I did I then turned my focus to the walls.

The next part of the strategy involves taking some profit from the foundation sites and investing it other types of sites and programs. These programs can have a bit of more risk attached to them but don't make it too risky. Creating different types of affiliate income and creating mailing lists are just some of the things you can try here.

You now come the the final part of our house. It's time to add the roof. In you case the roof should be your own products such as e-books or video guides. You will have a lot of knowledge that you can share with people who are in the same position you were in only a short while ago. The best way to do this is to create products for them. Only please don't use pictures of Ferrari's or yachts!

The great thing about this strategy is that if you have no spare cash you can start out with very little, in fact it is possible to start out with $0.00 and turn this into a full-time income by clever use of resources. There are enough good quality free resources available to make thi possible.

Be focused and be realistic and you can succeed Online

Here's 5 Reasons That You'll Never Make Money Online

By Mark Thompson

Listening to most of the so called "Guru's" you could be forgiven for thinking that it is easy to make money online. Unfortunately for most people online wealth will prove to be very elusive. Whatever the reasons you choose to try to make an income online it's important that you try to avoid the 5 basic mistakes that most people make.

1. Failing to Plan.

Working online is like any business you need a business plan. You also need to know your strengths and weaknesses. If you don't feel you can write articles and you don't have the funds to pay for a writer then you should avoid anything that needs a steady flow of unique content or articles. Find a source of income that will allow you to use your abilities. Don't be afraid to treat the first 6 months of your online career as an apprenticeship and learn new skills which will help in the long term.

2. Believing the hype

An Internet marketers job is to make you think that you must have whatever product or tool they are promoting this week. I'll let you into a secret here...You don't need it! The best thing you can do when you are starting out is to learn to do things manually. This will give you a greater understanding of how things work and will pay off in the long term.

3. You fail to control your spending

I've met lots of people who have spent thousands of dollars on tools and e-books and have yet to make any money. It's simple economics if you spend $1 you need to make $1 to break even. Before you invest in anything visit forums and see whats working for the members. Ask questions and test their methods yourself, if they make you a profit then consider investing the profit into tools that will help increase your income.

4. Failing to Focus

Earning money online takes time, if it was easy everyone would be doing it and then who would deliver your mail and work in your local stores? Most people tend to forget this and if they don't earn money in a few weeks they convince themselves that the methods don't work and try something else. The methods do work but they take time and you need to learn all the skills required before you can master them.

5. You think you know all you need to know.

It's all to easy to think that you know all you need to know about your business model. Recently I've had newsletters from 3 or 4 well know marketers telling me that I need to join Twitter and Hubpages as these are going to be the next big thing. I've been using both of these resources for the last 9 months. It's vitally important that you try to keep up with the latest sites and technologies and not just wait for an email from some guru, by that time it's generally too late.

Making money online is not easy but that doesn't mean it's overly difficult. If you find you are making some of the mistakes above then now you know what to do to rectify them. Take some time to Annalise what you are doing and where you are going worn and you will find that you'll soon be on the path to a good online income.

Ezine Marketing, It Can Work For You

By Stephen Meyer

Starting a legitimate home based business opportunity can be fun and rewarding. People have lots of different reason for working from home. The one reason that is the most prominent is to make money. To make money from home your business has to be seen by as many people possible.

Although many people claim Ezine marketing is dead and there is no money in it they couldn't be more incorrect. Ezine marketing is alive and well and money is being made by many who are doing it. The simple fact that there are over 300, 000 Ezine's being published is proof enough it is alive and well.

Instead of dying out and becoming irrelevant Ezine's today are experiencing growth in ways they had not experienced before. A lot of Ezine s today have membership list of well over One Hundred Thousand members and those numbers are growing everyday. A large part of this growth is because Ezine' s have widened their markets and are not reaching more of the public and business world.

Because a legitimate home based business owner must get his business offer in front of as many people possible the growth of Ezine publishing is now, just like it has always been, a cost effective means of advertising.

Ezine marketing is simply a Joint Venture (JV) between you the legitimate home based business owner and some one who owns a large subscriber list, in this case the Ezine owner. Another term and the easiest way to describe this Joint Venture is Email marketing.

Most home based business owners have realized the difficulty with building a large subscriber list and the time involved in doing so. This is where the real value in Ezine marketing comes into play. Since Ezine s today are offering quality content to a broader reader base that offers valuable information their subscribers are eagerly waiting for their Ezine to arrive.

Most Ezine s are based on a Niche market and offer information related to specific information categories. This means that their subscribers are looking for a certain type of information and have subscribed to their list because they know they will get it. Having a targeted market to advertise to is exactly what the home based professional needs. Your information is going to people who want to see it.

If a legitimate home based business owner is going to succeed in building his business for the long term a list is extremely important. Most have heard "the money is in the list" and it is a fact. Unfortunately building a list of 100K can take a very long time for most people.

By using Ezine marketing you are able to build trust in your readers. Often people have to see your ad numerous times before they take the desired action. Because your ad has been visible and they are not only a targeted market they are also receptive you are building a trust in them for your offer. This trust is what persuades them to take the action you desire and will not only sell your opportunity it will help build your list quickly. Ezine marketing is today one of the most cost effective ways to promote your business. Not just in the short term through immediate sales but in the long term also through positive relationship building.

Making Money with Your Audio Interviews

By Theo McLanahan

Audio has definitely taken the internet by storm recently, whether it is in the form of a welcome message upon entering a site, audio blogging, a podcast, or even a monthly audio newsletter. People love audio and recent advancements in technology have made it easy for people to download audio files to their Mp3 players and listen wherever they go.

You can take audio files that you had for any interviews you are conducting for information products or articles and make money with them in other ways. You can do this in the following ways:

By offering a product upgrade: If you have already created a written info product (ebook or special report) and have conducted interviews while doing research for the product, you can then offer the audio files as an upgrade to the base product. For instance, if you offer the basic product for $19.99, you can include the audio files to the customer for an upgraded price of $24.95 or higher, depending on how much audio there is to accompany the product.

Product Downgrade: On the opposite side of the above description, you can use audio files as a downgrade to an existing product. If you have a coaching program that includes written guides, audio interviews with experts, and one-on-one or group coaching, you could offer the audio interviews as a downgrade for those who can't afford the whole package. For example, you could price the total package at $199, but offer the audios for those that want to "self-study" for a price of $75. Those that can't afford $199 will feel that they are getting a good bargain, and you will have turned a "non-sell" into a $75 sell.

By offering an audio information product: As well as offering an upgrade and downgrade, you can offer audio files as completely new information products. For instance, invite people who have purchased your product onto a teleconference line for a Q&A session. Record the session, then have it to offer to future customers.

Seminar Series: A great way to generate some traffic for your site, create buzz, and make money is to offer a seminar series. You can approach other business owners that your target market will find interesting and ask if they would like to be a part of your seminar series.

Depending on how much traffic you currently have, you may be able to charge the presenters a fee to have a spot in your seminar as well. You can opt to allow people to dial in on a teleconference line or meet in a web conference room and listen to the live seminar for free, and then charge a fee for access to the recordings of the seminars. Alternatively, you can charge a fee upfront and only give paying customers access to the live seminars.

There are many ways to earn money with your interviews. Your readers will love to hear your voice, as well as the voices of other experts. Recording and selling the audio files of interviews can bring a whole new stream of income to your site.
