Exploring the Online Marketing Network

The internet and the World Wide Web (www) have attracted much attention since its appearance. The positive aspect of the internet is that businesses of all sizes have the same amount of exposure. Small business can now compete with the larger business in this relatively new environment. The internet is the most inexpensive marketing tool available in today’s business world, as well as the most cost-effective. The internet is essentially a sales channel, directed towards the consumer.

Placing a business on the internet, will give it incredible exposure, and let a business owner reach millions of users. This opportunity includes the online marketing networker as well. The internet is so much less expensive, compared to other forms of advertising. The online marketing networker could have a website built and up and running for a whole year for the same cost as one day's advertising in the classified section of a local newspaper. The online marketing networker’s message could be seen by people, from around the country and the world, for a fraction of the cost of any other marketing method. The online marketing networker will get more attention from the online prospect than any other method. The personal interaction is present which produces a very intimate selling situation.

Some people are uncomfortable with the internet, due to high tech phobias or to not understanding the associated jargon. The technology is not the relevant issue to the online marketing network. The relevant issue is that the internet represents a “high touch.” The internet provides the online marketing networker a one-to-one relationship with prospects and builds lasting relationships with consumers in a very personal and individualized manner.

The internet is a different marketing medium that requires its own rules and regulations for doing online marketing effectively. Instead of the advertisers sending a message to a targeted audience that acts or dismisses the call to action, online consumers seek out information and advertising. The consumers are the initiators of communication. Yet the internet is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Success on the internet requires full understanding of the concept, hard work, attention to detail, and constant promotional activity. The internet as a marketing tool is not about fancy graphics only; it's also about valuable industry information, professional marketing efforts and reliable hosting service, making it fast and easy to download information.

The online marketing networker requires a different approach for development of online marketing network website. The following are four tips for the online marketing networker:

1. Building a professional online marketing network website with compelling copy, with the sole objective of obtaining more leads, more sales, and increased profitability, using fine, yet reasonable graphics and scripts to make it rich and appealing to the site visitors.

2. Use powerful, proven marketing strategies and techniques that allow your website to recognize excellent results and concurrently cutting online marketing network costs.

3. Improve the performance of the online marketing network website and transform it into a persuasive money making vehicle.

4. Employ customized and innovative marketing campaigns to increase online marketing network exposure and secure consistently superior results from the sales and marketing efforts.

How Much Does an Online Business Really Cost?

One of the big reasons people seem to think that having an online business should lead to easy success is that it is perceived as being a cheap business. And it's true; an online business costs far, far less than a brick and mortar business. But to really start off well, spending some money is a good plan.

For this, I'm assuming you already have a working computer and internet service. If not, add those to your expenses. It's much better than trying to run a business from a public library computer.

Expenses I Strongly Recommend:

1. Paid hosting.

Yes, there are free options such as hosting a blog with Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. But these are limiting in so many ways.

You have less control over them is perhaps wise for a business. I've seen many people get their blogs deleted with little or no warning from both those services. Wordpress.com has often been quite particular about their free blogs having any association with earning money. But if you host your own Wordpress blog you can do as you like with it.

And of course you may not want the blog format anyhow. If a standard website is more your style, there aren't too many good free hosts about, and you still have that control lost. Most companies, if they give you free hosting, do it because they can run ads on your site. It looks terribly unprofessional.

2. Your own domain name(s).

A domain name of your own, in the long run, will be far easier for people to remember than one given by one of the free hosting companies. Domain names are particularly cheap too, at $10 or less per year at most registrars.

Having a real domain name also makes you look more professional. It says you're willing to do some of the most basic things to look like a serious online business rather than a mere hobbyist.

3. Time (and lots of it).

Succeeding as an online businessperson requires a lot of time, even if you hire help for those things you just can't do on your own.

You'll need to come up with articles, product descriptions, blog posts, keep up with what's happening in your industry... all kinds of things. What all you have to do depends on your business model.

You may have heard of the book out now about a 4 hour work week. And yes, some people succeed on that. But far more likely is that they worked hard for years to reach a point where that was possible for them. It's not a solid plan for when you're just starting out.

Overall Strongly Recommended Costs: Anywhere from under $10/month to a few thousand. Most will begin on the ~$10/month range of this, as most sites don't need a few thousand dollars' worth of hosting expenses. Many hosting plans have annual plans available that reduce the monthly cost, but you have to pay the entire amount once a year.

Potential Other Costs:

1. Website or graphic designers.

Sure, anyone can throw up a website if they have the right tools. Thrown up is probably what it will look like too, unless you have some design experience. If you want to be taken seriously, make sure your site shows it.

Wordpress bloggers have some advantages in this area, in that there are so many free themes available for Wordpress blogs. You'll still need to choose carefully to find a theme that reflects your business and functions correctly, and hopefully doesn't look exactly like 10,000 competing sites in your niche.

2. Advertising/marketing.

How are you going to get the word out about your business? There are free ways to do this, such as writing articles about your topic and allowing other websites to publish them, but as a rule the free marketing options take time.

Well-done pay per click advertising can be highly effective, as can other forms of advertising. This is an area where knowing whether or not you are getting a good ROI is vital. It's easy to spend your money on ineffective sources if you aren't paying attention and testing your ads.

Overall Potential Costs: Generally more than the strongly recommended costs. If you aren't spending money on any of these, it's $0, but could go into many $1000s/month or year if that's your business model. What matters is that you make a maximum profit, however much you spend.

Of course, with all this money spent there's still no guarantee that your business will go anywhere. It's really up to you and how hard you work on it, as well as whether or not you've made the right choices for your online business.

Make Money on the Internet Selling Other People’s Products

A lot of people are now getting into online businesses and online marketing either to supplement their “real world” income or for it to become their primary source of income. Why? Because online marketing just provides them a lot of benefits!

First, you can reach just about anybody in the world who has Internet access if you market your products online. That means a wider market for you, which can translate to larger profits. Second, setting up an online business requires only a fraction of the cost required to set up an actual business establishment, which means a lot of savings for the business owner.

Another aspect that has attracted a lot of people towards online marketing is the fact that one doesn’t have to have his own products to get started. In online marketing, one can start to make a lot of money on the internet just by selling, or even by just trying to sell, other people’s products. And getting started with this kind of marketing strategy is actually quite easy. All that one needs to do is to set up an agreement with an online retailer or merchant, and after everything is settled, one can immediately start to make money on the internet by selling the merchant’s or the retailer’s products.

Incidentally, the most popular and the fastest growing method of selling other people’s products online is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing, in its simplest definition, is a relationship between an online merchant or retailer, who has products to sell, and his affiliates, who are willing to promote the merchant’s product on their website.

In a typical affiliate marketing set up, the merchant provides his affiliates with banners and text ads that links to his site. The affiliates will then get these ads posted on their website and they get paid whenever traffic or sales is directed to the merchant’s website. Affiliates often make money on commission basis, although other online merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee for the affiliate’s compensation.

Starting to make money on the internet with affiliate marketing is relatively quick and easy. All that one has to do is to sign up as an affiliate for an online company that offers affiliate programs. An alternative method, and usually an easier one, is to sign up as a member of an affiliate network—a network that hosts a variety of affiliate programs for different online merchants or retailers. Signing up is usually free, although other companies and networks may require you to pay a particular fee. Such fees, however, are made as payment for additional services that the company may render, like providing you with tools and assistance to jumpstart your internet business.

When you sign up with an affiliate marketing program, you are usually required to fill out a form containing information about yourself. Some affiliate programs may also require you to present the URL of your website and describe its contents. This will allow the retailers to verify that you actually have a website with contents that are relevant to their products. Some affiliate programs, however, won’t require you to have a website. After filling out the form and all, you are then allowed to choose the affiliate programs you want to promote on or off the internet.

After signing up with an affiliate program and being an actual affiliate, you are now ready to make a lot of money by selling other people’s product on the internet. How do you make money on the internet? There are actually a number of ways for you to earn money as an affiliate, and most of these ways depends on the type of affiliate marketing program you’ve gotten into.

Many affiliate marketing programs compensate their affiliates in either of three ways: pay-per-click (PPC), pay-per-sale (PPS), or pay-per-lead (PPL). In pay-per-click affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever he directs traffic to the merchant’s site. PPS and PPL affiliate marketing programs work rather differently. In PPS, the affiliate only gets paid when his referral converts into an actual sale. In typical PPS affiliate programs, the affiliate would usually get 15% to 20% commission for each conversion. PPL affiliate programs work the same way, although affiliates are paid a fixed fee whenever his referral converts into a lead for the company.

Some affiliate marketing programs are two-tier programs, wherein the affiliate is also allowed to recommend other affiliates to the merchant. In such affiliate programs, the affiliate would not only make money on the internet for the traffic or sales that he would direct to the merchant’s site but also for the traffic or sales directed by the affiliates who signed up with the program through his recommendation.

Yet another way to make money on the internet with affiliate marketing is through residual affiliate programs. Residual affiliate programs are affiliate programs where the affiliate gets paid a number of times for as long as the merchant keeps the customer the affiliate has referred to his site. One form of residual program gets the affiliate paid a commission every time the referred customer purchases something on the merchant’s site. Another form of residual affiliate program gets the affiliate paid a percentage every month for as long as the company keeps the referred customer.

With a lot of options available and a lot of ways to make money on the internet, affiliate marketing is undoubtedly the most popular and the easiest way to make money by selling other people’s products on the internet. As to how much money one can get from affiliate marketing actually depends on the affiliate. A dedicated and hardworking affiliate would certainly get more from the program compared to those affiliates who would simply sign up and forget about the program later.

Keep Your Web Copy Short and Sweet to Attract Web Visitors

As a webmaster, you are looking to keep visitors coming to your website and also get them to return often. Besides web promotion and Internet marketing, your web copy (text and content inside your website) will play an important role in attracting new and returned visitors to your website. There are several points you need to think about when writing web copy.

Keep your copy short and simple
What you need to know and remember is that unless a visitor has been sent to a particular web page on a site, more often than not, they will only read 1 or 2 sentences of the text. So the longer your text is, the less likely they will want to read it. So if you can, do not add any long copy to any pages where visitors are not expecting it to be.

Also use as many simple words as possible for your copy. It is important that your visitors are able to understand what has been written on their first reading. They do not want to have to spend time thinking about what you have written.

In most cases, you should be able to convey one key idea effectively in just one or two lines of writing. By writing any more then that, you are likely to ruin the chance of the first idea you are providing to get through to them.

So by anticipating that your visitors will be willing to learn more about something, then they will look for the page that has more copy on it. So provide them with a link to another page of your site where they can get hold of the information that they need.

What if you do need to write long copy?
If you do need to include some longer copy, then organize it. Even if your visitors are expecting to find a page heavy with text, they may not actually be willing to read it. So in order to help them, divide any distinct ideas you have into separate paragraphs. Provide them with useful headings, sub headings and bulleted lists. This is a great way of introducing key ideas to them deliberately.

It is best to assume that not all the visitors to your site will read longer pieces in their entirety. So write copy that they will be able to skim through and lets them read the parts that they are only interested in.

Although longer copy does not need as direct as short copy is, it should still be easy to read. You will find that those visitors to your site who have difficulty understanding what has been written, will stop reading it.

Make your copy lively
Keep your copywriting clear and write vividly. You should be aiming to write in a light, unassuming tone of voice. If what you have written is boring or overbearing, this will in turn affect the reader, and what you are trying to convey will not get through to them.

So use a consistent voice throughout your copy. By doing this, visitors will more quickly recognize it and so become familiar with it. The more familiar a site or subject is to them, the more effective it will be.

Affiliate Money – How to Keep Them Coming to You

Rereading my previous article "Affiliate Money – How to make them coming to you" in which I discuss some of the rudimental options on creating a valid home based business using nothing but Affiliate Programs, I have asked myself a question. A question so simple and yet so important that I knew – answer this one right and I’m set for life! A question, which everyone who is looking for proven income opportunities in Affiliate Programs should ask himself.

I have pounded out some thoughts and some basics that I know will work well as they work for me day after day. Just please remember these are only basics as I’m not a self-proclaimed “guru” but a simple man who managed to learn and implement the techniques discussed bellow.

Making an initial sale is great and exciting and a feeling familiar to anyone involved into Affiliate Programs marketing. But as every successful affiliate knows – it’s a lot easier to sell to a person who already bought from you or based on your advice and marketing efforts necessary for that sale are a lot less. So how do you repeat a sale?

Give away free stuff. Be it an ebook or a report but give it away for free. The key here is to find a material that allows you to rebrand links inside that ebook or report with your own affiliate links. Many programs provide you with such materials and they do the wanders. Even if person didn’t buy from you this time, they WILL download a free ebook and if it answers their questions or provide them with information they were looking for, they will click on YOUR affiliate link. Caching! Do you hear cash register ringing? I do.

Give away more free stuff! But now use a slightly different technique – auto responders. It’s an income maker on autopilot! And all you have to do is give something away and setup auto responder messages. Find an ebook with resale rights that give you an option to give away to members or through subscriptions. A good place to look for these type of materials are a manual click traffic exchanges, such as TrafficSwarm, as people give away a lots of free stuff there for simple newsletter signup. Just get one of the free auto responders. Much better option is to use auto responder that comes with your hosting account. That way you will not have to deal with third party advertisement. Make sure that your emails are precise to the point and something that interest your readers. Never used auto responder or don’t know how to write a winning email? It’s not a problem. There is a wealth of ebooks written on the subject and better once have the sample e-mail where all you have to do is customize them to fit your needs

Using auto responders is a bliss when done right. I do recommend couple things if you decide to utilize them:

Always use a subscription model where users have to confirm their intention to subscribe. Don’t try to force people into your subscription! This will eliminate possibility of invalid e-mail addresses and prevent you from been reported as a spammer – a sure kill to your business. Double-check your e-mails for possibility of been filtered as spam, explain people to setup white listing options for your e-mails. Use a freely available Internet tools to check your e-mails for spam filtering, before you send them. After all it’s your money making tool, so make an extra effort.

The techniques above are extremely simple and yet overlooked by great many people or not utilized to the full extent. Hard to imagine any good reasons why. Successfully implementing them will not just assist you but put your efforts into overdrive.

And really it’s that important. Residual income and new income from previously sold customers is the ultimate goal of any affiliate marketer and if it’s not your goal yet – make it!

Free Marketing for Your Product: Recruit an Army of Affiliates

If you have done good online research on a niche and developed a new product that will meet a need or solve a problem of a group of people, then probably your product will be selling well on the Internet. But to successfully sell your product, you first need to get it into the public eye which will require Internet marketing knowledge, talent and experience. If you lack of that, don't worry you can get some support free on the net.

There are many professional or experienced Internet marketing experts ready to help you out and to promote your product to thousands of targeted prospects. They will work on commission basis, giving them an added incentive to market your product as efficient as possible.

We are talking about affiliate marketing, of course. The affiliate marketing method, in its most basic form consists of a merchant or seller (in this case you), affiliates (the sales force, who will market the merchant product on to earn sales commission), and the customers or buyers (located and referred by the affiliates).

What you need to recruit a team of affiliates?

One of the good ways is to create a merchant’s account at Clickbank or other affiliate programs network sites. Alternatively, You may set your own affiliate program without joining a affiliate network, but Clickbank and other like sites work well for many sellers. You’ll pay a one-time fee, and in return, you can list your product, along with a sales page and a “thank you page.” Once approved, your affiliate program will be created and anyone can join your program to market your product.

There are a few ways to make your affiliate program work.

You need to have a professional written sales page, a good product and offer an attractive commission.

You may think about offering 50% or more sale commission per sale to your affiliates. This may sound harsh to you, but it is the high commission ratio that will motivates them to market your product on the net.

Your affiliate payments management will depend on the system provided by your affiliate network. Some can be set automatically to pay your affiliates who make sales for you. Others will require you to manually manage your affiliate payouts. Make sure you are familiar to your affiliates payment system and send payment to your affiliate accurately on time.

Why not I market my product without recruiting affiliates?

Sure, you don't share any profit that way, but you could be selling more and more of your products by recruiting a group of experience affiliates who are willing to promote your product on the Internet in different effective ways.

If you have a product and want to have a massive promotion for it, think about starting an affiliate program. The commissioned affiliates can provide you a steady stream of potential customers to you.

Opportunities for Retirees in Affiliate Marketing

Many people view retirement as a time to seek fresh directions and find new challenges. They search for meaningful ways to use their time and/or earn extra cash. But quite often they are unaware of opportunities in affiliate marketing. So for those retirees looking for a stimulating money-making activity that involves helping others, I highly recommend that they consider starting a home-based affiliate marketing business.

The increasing use of the internet has created tremendous opportunities for home-based internet marketing entrepreneurs. In fact, when the right strategies are employed, internet marketing businesses can be quite profitable. Many people who have found success as internet entrepreneurs had no previous business training or experience when they began. And affiliate marketing happens to be one of the most popular businesses chosen by people starting a home-based online business.

Affiliate marketing is a business model that involves promoting a product owned by another merchant in return for a commission. The affiliates don’t have to deal with activities relating to things such as order fulfillment, shipping, or keeping an inventory. The merchant takes care of all those details. So affiliates are only concerned with promoting the products. That means they don’t have to spend a huge sum of money to set up the business. Another thing that makes affiliate marketing so appealing is its flexibility – affiliates can work anytime that they wish. The business can be a full-time or part-time endeavor.

Nevertheless, don’t assume that making big bucks in affiliate marketing is an easy task. It requires lots of hard work and persistence. To be successful you need to learn how to find the best companies and products to promote, and gain a clear understanding of effective techniques for promoting the products. Fortunately, however, there are some very good resources available to help you figure out how to start your business and what to do in order to succeed.

Many, many different types of companies that do business on the Web rely on internet marketing to increase sales. Big brand-name companies like Dell, Discover Card, Sony and the New York Times use affiliate programs to promote their products online. For any product you can think of there's probably an affiliate program where you can earn commissions. So you’re sure to find an affiliate program that’s in line with your personal interests.

Once you join an affiliate program you must think of yourself as a problem solver. That’s because your task is to help people who want the product you’re promoting find the answers they are looking for. Affiliate marketers must leverage the strengths of the internet to provide people with useful information about something they are searching for. They’re simply helping people meet their specific consumer needs.

Retirees possess valuable communication and problem solving skills from years of experience in the workforce. Now they can put those skills and experience to effective use by starting a home-based online business and take advantage of the exciting opportunities in affiliate marketing.

Earn More Money from Your Adsense Website

So you’ve decided to use Adsense to help you make money online. You’re in good company – there are thousands of people around the world that earn a substantial income from Adsense ads, and some that are even able to make a full time living with Adsense. One of the things that separates website owners who make a little money, and website owners who make a lot of money, is the Adsense ad placement within their web pages.

It might not seem important to you to consider Adsense ad placement – after all, when people visit your website, they will naturally see the ads, right? Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, this is not true. Where you place your ads on your web page is just as important as the content of the page itself. Here are a couple of ways to make sure your Adsense ad placement helps make sure you earn as much as possible.

One thing that you should do when considering your Adsense ad placement is to avoid putting the ads in a horizontal block along the top of the page, if possible. Placing your ads here usually ensures that the Adsense ads won’t get noticed.
Why? Well, think about how many web pages you have visited that display banner ads at the top of the page. How often do you even look at these banners, let alone click on them? If you’re like most people, probably not very often. We have become so accustomed to seeing these ads at the top of web pages that we don’t even notice them.

The same is true with this Adsense ad placement. People will typically skip over your ads and go directly to your page content.
Another thing you should consider when determining Adsense ad placement is to try to integrate the ads into your content. If you place the ads between paragraphs, or place a block of ads to the right of a section of text, they will be visible to your viewers.
They will also seem more relevant to your content, so people will be more likely to click on the ads.
Let’s say you are writing a web page about how to pair wines with certain foods. In one paragraph, you list several dishes that go well with Riesling wine. If you place a block of ads after that paragraph, the ads will most likely link to websites where visitors can buy fine Riesling wines.

This Adsense ad placement could work very well for you, because after your reader learns how to pair Riesling wine with food, the next question in the reader’s mind will likely be, “Where do I find a good Riesling wine?”
The Adsense ads that follow the paragraph give your reader an immediate answer. This will result in more clicks, and more money in your pocket.

My First Wordpress Blog Launched

After about 20 hours of hard learning and work, I finally completed the setting up process for my Wordpress blog and published it on the Internet. The URL of my new blog is:

http://www.home-business-info-online.com

This new blog is about home business. I will post everything related to home business in this blog. So if you are interested to start a home business or find some ways to make money at home. You can check out this new blog often, you might find some info and content helpful for your home business start-up and growth.

My goal is to achieve financial freedom through blog marketing and SEO. My existing blog, Money Maker Info has made a living for me but still a long way to reach financial freedom. So, I will use this new blog to help me make more money online in order to achieve financial freedom faster. Right now I just added two money making programs into this new blog, which are Google AdSense and a banner ad from CJ affiliate network. I will be adding a few more money makers into it once I get a good amount of daily traffic.

Installing and setting a Wordpress blog up isn't easy as I thought. I did read a few free Wordpress tutorial I found from Google search engine. There are helpful but unfortunately they don't cover everything. I know that it is not possible to cover everything in one article or one video tutorial. These people are kind enough to provide free Wordpress tutorial, I understand I cannot expect them to tell me specifically from A to Z.

Anyway, If you too are now learning how to set up a Wordpress blog now, you may try this link.

One good thing about Wordpress is that you can optimize your blog in almost any way you like by modifying the code of your Wordpress theme. If you know not much about editing your theme, you still manage to optimize your blog to the way you like by installing different types of Wordpress plugins. Here's is a link to a list of plugins (or at least a few of the plugins in the list) that most bloggers need for their blogs:

A Guide to the Wordpress Plugins Used on Our Blog

To me, it is fun to install plugins because my blog's look will change exactly according to my preference after activated my plugins. There are so many useful plugins available free on the Internet, but for now I only installed 3 plugins. I will be using more plugins in future.

The 3 plugins I currently use are:

All in One SEO Pack - This plugin has been suggested by many well known bloggers. I tested it on my blog, it is really good for blog on-page search engine optimization. It provides most of the things you need for on-page SEO. You can add title tag, write a long meta description for on your home page. And also you can have a unique title tag and meta description for each of your pages. However, All in One SEO doesn’t work on all Wordpress theme.

Akismet - This plugin was included in Wordpress 2.3.2. It helps reduce spam comments. You'll need a WordPress.com API key to use it.

Mighty AdSense - It lets you insert your AdSense ads within your post entries and increase your AdSense CTR.

I will be testing different features of Wordpress in the coming weeks and will post it here again when I find something good about Wordpress.

Avoid These 3 Affiliate Mistakes and Create A Successful Home Business

New affiliate marketers start out with a gleam in their eyes and visions of earning big bucks from the Internet. However, without proper preparations these dreams can soon turn to dust. Learn how to avoid these 3 common mistakes that online marketers make and put more money into your pocket in the process.

If you are looking to create a successful home business, you already know that affiliate marketing is touted as the best way to do this. That is true somewhat, as you do not require much, if any money to get started. However, some marketers make costly mistakes before the learn how to properly promote affiliate programs. Avoiding these common mistakes will help you to find success online much faster.

Avoid Mistake number 1: Do Not Choose The Wrong Affiliate

Most affiliates want to start making money as quickly as possible. In their rush to do so, they tend to choose hastily and end up selling the wrong program or product. Often, this is the kind of product that most marketers think is "hot". They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals to them or it is even worth promoting. Instead of jumping on the supposedly "hot" product, try to choose a product in which you are truly interested and for which there is reasonable demand.

For your new home business to succeed, you now need to take some time to prepare a marketing plan. Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one just for the money it brings..

Avoid Mistake number 2: Do Not Join Too Many Affiliate Programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.

True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and then trying to promote all of them at the same time will seriously dilute your efforts so that you cannot give any one program your full attention. The result of this is that it becomes impossible to maximize your potential with each program you promote.

The best way to create a great part time income from your affiliate promotion effort is to join just one program that pays at least 45% commission, and then give it your best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. Once you recognize that you are making a reasonable profit, you can then go ahead and another affiliate program.

Avoid Mistake number 3: Not buying the Product or Using the Service.

As an affiliate, your main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service and to place your offers in front of the right customers. To achieve this, you must be able to impress your customers about the benefits they will get from the products and how it will help them to solve their problems.

You will become a better ambassador for a product or service when you are using the service yourself. Take GDI for example. True, you cannot represent them if you are not an owner of one of their websites, but by having a global domain website, you can show by example how you use the site, how you promote it, what tools are available to help you, and how well the affiliate program is working for you.

So then, you should try to purchase the product you are promoting so that you can speak from a position of strength and credibility. Finally, by avoiding these three common affiliate mistakes, you can ensure that your new home business will get off to a great start and actually become a successful home business.

How to Make Money Online by Selling Domain Names - Part 1

Many webmasters have found that it is quite profitable to sell domain names. If a domain name has built in with a line of traffic, it will be much profitable. Some domain names have generated thousands of dollars to webmasters. A few good domain names have even went as high as a million or more dollars, making the webmaster an instant millionaire. You too can start selling domain names and profit from your domain names business. Here’s a few basic steps you can follow to begin:

Step 1 – Do keyword research
First, you will need to do some keyword research to find a keyword that is highly searched but not used very often by other websites. A good keyword analyzer tool can do this for you. Word Tracker and Keyword Analyzer are two of the good tools you can use to research keywords but there is a cost involved for using them. If you don’t want to pay for a keyword analyzer tool. You may use the free ones to conduct keyword research. But the free ones only tell you how many times the keyword has been searched for the last month, they don’t let you know how much competition there is with a potential keyword like the paid keyword tools did. I would suggest you use paid keyword tools because they provide in-depth detail on the keywords you are researching. If money is an issue, you may find a keyword analyzer that offers a free trial, like Word Tracker does. You can always upgrade to the paid version once you use it to profit from selling a domain name.

Step 2 – Get a domain name
Once you have chosen your keyword, you need to buy a domain name and a good web hosting package. You might think you don’t need hosting since you are just going to sell the domain, but in order to sell it for big money, you need to create a website for your domain name and do some web promotion work to build in consistent traffic for your domain. Traffic is what sells a domain name for the higher dollar amounts. To be profitable your domain name needs a good flow of traffic.

Anyway, try to find a hosting package that will include both a web hosting service and a domain name. Because you don’t need to worry about transferring anything later.

When choosing the domain name, make sure your keyword is included. If your keyword has been registered by other as domain name, try adding a series of numbers or other letters with your keyword. If you wanted the keyword for your domain name to be “dogs” but it has been taken, you could try getting “dogs101” or “A1dogs”. Alternatively, you may try looking for a relevant keyword that isn't taken as a domain name. Either way, keep finding until you get an easy-to-remember yet keyword-rich domain name that still has a .com extension.

How to Make Money Online by Selling Domain Names - Part 2

Step 3 – Create a website
Now, you have your domain name and are ready to move on to the next step which is creating a website. It doesn’t have to be the biggest website ever built, as a matter of fact, it could be just 5 to 10 page site. Write several keyword rich articles and create a simple site using a program like Microsoft Word. Just be sure you save them as a .html file.

Go ahead and sign up for Adsense or add a few affiliates to the page so that it looks like a resourceful website for your visitors. Any sales made or AdSense revenue generated from your site will be an added bonus.

Step 4 - Drive traffic to your website and grow your backlinks
Once you have uploaded your website, focusing on traffic is next. You can start out with purchased visitors as long as they are coming from quality websites like Google search engine, content blogs and etc; and not a form of incentive traffic (like paid emails) or a bot. After getting paid traffic for a while, you should start building backlinks / inbound links for your site. There are many free places you can post your url to get backlinks pointing to your site like directories, forums, and online classified ads. You can also write a few good articles related to your website’s topic and post them on article directories to get free quality backlinks and traffic. Furthermore, social marketing can also be used to generate traffic and build links.

Keep growing inbound links until you have a regular flow of traffic to your site. If you can get sufficient visitors, you will get an Alexa rating. If the rating is pleasing, look for a domain name appraisal to see how much roughly you can sell your domain name. This will give you a good idea of how much you can expect to make from selling the domain name. If the numbers aren’t as high as you like, don’t worry there will still be someone willing to give you a higher dollar amount because of the traffic you have built up already.

Step 5 – Sell your domain name
When you are satisfied with your website and the amount of traffic it receives, it’s time to put it on the domain name market for sale. You may want to sell it with your website on it, although it is not necessary. Once you have sold your domain name, you will simply transfer it over to the buyer’s account. Most of the time it is free to push a domain name from one account to another as long as the both of you have accounts with the domain name registrar.

When you have seen a profit from selling domain names, you can reinvest your earnings into another domain name, and possibly try getting an expired domain name this time that already has a nice flow of traffic to save you some time. This can be done over and over to create a nice income from selling domain names.

Conversion rate, key for success!

Being successful takes lot of planning and decisive skills. And one of the most important reasons of success is the conversion rate of your ideas, which you have implemented in your site. Leaving no stone unturned is now the approach of every business houses and instead of waiting for long search engine optimization process you go for paid advertising. But the success truth lies in conversion rate.

If you are not getting conversion through your site, then you are not probably meeting the customer demands and expectations. By getting as many visitors on your site and not converting them doesn’t solve your purpose. So when you are targeting heavy traffic to your site only one reason i.e. paid advertising is not the only way to get high traffics to your site. Quality web site design & development contributes to the cause very much.

Combining your site structure and conversion rate together, you site should be very much informative and friendly for both user and crawlers. Updates are needed on the site on continuous basis as search engines loves unique and fresh content. Inclusion of testimonials from clients, easy contact details and better navigation incrases the chances of better conversion rate.

Your website should be relevant to your domain and should not content irrelevant stuff. And for all these things a good web development company will help you. A company which can understand your needs, visualize them and properly crafts them to give you the desired result. so Before thinking of paid adverstising as a best media for increasing your conversion rate, make a brief analysis of your present web site design and development issue also.

Work At Home - Make Money On The Internet

If you take the time to learn new skills and knowledge to enable you to succeed online, you will be able to make money on the internet.
Increasingly, people are looking for ways to make money on the internet and work from home. There are enormous benefits that can be enjoyed when you operate an online business from home. Firstly, you are able to have more flexibility and create a better balance between your work and the rest of your life. Secondly, your business is portable. Your physical address is irrelevant. As long as you have power, a computer and an internet connection, you can run your business from anywhere in the world.

However, an online business doesn’t just happen. If you want to make money on the internet, you will need to have products or skills you can sell online. Make a list of your skills. Would enough people be prepared to pay you for them? If not, do you have an interest in a particular area that you could market products to? What sort of products would be most in demand? How will you acquire these products? Do you want to go to the expense of creating your own or would you prefer to resell other people’s products and simply make a profit from the sales? Once you have decided on this, you will need to spend quite a lot of time researching sources, affiliate programs and other options.

Unfortunately, there are countless advertised opportunities to make money on the internet but many of them are not genuine. Of those that are genuine, many are difficult to succeed at. The vast majority of all new online businesses fail because people jump into them without taking the time to properly plan their business and evaluate opportunities. It is easier to get started if you are selling personal services online, it takes longer if you have to choose the right products.

As well as salable skills or products, to make money on the internet you need a professional website. A blog is also beneficial. With improvements in technology and a competitive global marketplace for outsourcing purposes, everyone can afford to establish a website without spending thousands (or even hundreds) or dollars.

You can use a website creation program or pay someone to create and upload a website for you. Make sure you choose a business and domain name that says what you do and is easy for people to remember. Also ensure that your website is not too busy, has all the information visitors need and is easy to navigate. It should be very easy for people to pay you!

Without website traffic you cannot make money on the internet. You need to implement effective strategies to attract visitors to your site. Make sure your web pages and blog posts are optimized for search engines so that they get indexed and appear in search engine results.

Update your content regularly to keep the search engines interested and actively market your website using free strategies like article marketing and paid strategies like pay-per-click. Consistency and quality are very important if you want to get visitors to your website.

Any new business takes a lot of time and effort to initially establish. However, if you take the time to learn new skills and knowledge to enable you to succeed online, you will be able to make money on the internet.

Simple Ways To Make Money Online

Are you one of those people who try and try but some how can’t seem to make any money online? If you are keep reading.
I decided to go on a quest to find out how some of the Internet Marketing Gurus made there first buck. I mean they were not born with this gift; they had to have started out somewhere.
I asked the question “What was the first thing you did to consistently produce a profit Online?” These were some of the answers I got.

I would not call myself a Guru per say , but the first thing I did on the Internet - and still doing, actually - is being a ghostwriter and write articles. It may not be the most profitable thing you can do on the Internet, but it's easy to get started (that is as long as you have some research and writing skills). I also wrote and sold a public speaking course using a basic model.

My first income came by selling my affiliate products on my site. It didn't make much money at first though, but after I learned about Pre-selling strategies and started my own newsletter, I started to see some results. I made real money when I started working on building a list and building relationships with my subscribers. After that, I tailor made several products based on what I found my subscribers were interested in. As you can guess, when you have a great list and a product that your subscribers want, success will just come.

The first money I made on the web was in graphic designing. I had the option to continue with it but decided I wanted to concentrate more on Affiliate Marketing and others Ventures. I also tried adsense for a couple months, did not make much money with it only a couple of dollars a day, got a bit frustrated with it and then got back into Affiliate Marketing. And now, I sell my own products and still do affiliate marketing.

I remember my first profits like they where yesterday... It was from a sale of one of my affiliate programs. My Commission was $25.46 and came through to my bank account thru paypal. It took me almost 1 year to make that first sale...mainly that long because I never focused on my strengths and always jumped around looking for the "overnight get rich quick secret". Things have changed a lot since then, and very soon I will be 100% independent from a day job thanks to Internet Marketing. Remember what ever you get into will always take time and effort.

Well, it took me some time to turnaround that first profit, not to mention a decent amount of hard work. I tried just about everything that an Internet Marketer can think of...well almost everything. First thing I did was write an e-book to sell. I'm still a huge fan of selling information to this day, I also sold Action figures on eBay and thought: “great this is a nice way to make money”, what else can I do? Then I got into affiliate marketing and that has paid well.

These were just some of the comments I got. Personally In my experience, what I found was that my failure or success had nothing to do with whether or not the method actually worked, but whether I belonged in what I was promoting. Some of us will never be good in some areas so don’t be afraid to move around and try different things until you find what works for you. Remember to be successful in anything it takes time and effort so be patient and work hard and you will get results.

Oh I made my first profit in Google Adsence and still making money with it and now I am into Affiliate Marketing.

How to Use Google to Find a Profitable Niche Market

Google is the biggest search engine you may have used when searching for information on the Internet. But have you ever used Google for more than just finding information you need? If not, then you are missing out on some very good tools provided that can make searching the Internet not only more effective, but also fun.

One of the best places to begin is by finding out which products are popular today. On Google’s homepage, click ‘more’ located in left-hand corner. Click ‘products’ and you will see a list of products. You can begin your search for niche markets here. Compare what’s on your list to see if there are any categories that match. If not, don’t give up; hold on to your list as you can use these topics in other searches. Begin by clicking on topics that interest you. These topics may also be easier to create products for later on because you have an interest in them.

Keep in mind that for now, you are simply browsing the Internet looking for popular items that people are searching for. Listed below are other tools to use when searching for niche markets.

Google Directory
When you want to narrow down a topic, the Google directory is a good place to begin. To get to the directory, go to http://www.google.com/dirhp. You will be given a list of popular categories to search that will help you narrow down your topic. Pull out your list and begin your search. Each category has sub-categories to search. Eventually, you will reach a page that contains a list of websites where you can find additional information. If there are few websites listed, this is a good indication that you have found a profitable niche because the niches needs are not being met.

Google Sets
If you are having difficulty narrowing down your topic or you want to generate more categories from a larger topic, use Google sets. This is a tool that allows you to create a set of like items that you can search from. Visit http://labs.google.com/sets to use this tool.

This is a good tool to use when brainstorming for niche markets as well. After a set has been created, you can search through websites that contain the information.

Google Zeitgeist
This tool is used to help you generate niche ideas or to see how popular the topics on your list are. You can search in the US or around the world if you choose. While this is tool will only give you an idea of how popular a trend is becoming, it is handy when beginning your research.

Google Trends
If you have a few topics that have gained exposure in the past few months, you will want to check out their popularity to see if it will continue to be popular a few weeks or months from now. Google trends is a tool that can give you a better idea of how many people have been searching for a topic over a certain amount of time. You can track the progress of any topic you like to see if the trend will continue of if it will die down. Trends on the downside are usually not worth pursuing.

Visit Google Labs, http://labs.google.com/, to see more search options and tools that are available. While some of the tools are experiments at the moment, you will find some that are very useful in your search for profitable niche markets.

MY Google Rankings Drop Gradually

This blog, MoneyMakerInfo.blogspot.com uses to rank #1 for a numbers of my primary keyword phrases in Google below:

• Make Money Online
• Making Money Online
• Make Money
• Making Money
  
• How to Make Money
• Earn Money Online
• Money Maker
• How to Earn Money Online

But, for the past 3 months I have experienced several times my Google rankings drop. The keyword phrases 'earn money online' was first taken down from no.1 to no.2 and it never go back to no.1.

And then the same happened to my other keyword phrases 'make money online' as well. It fell from no.1 to no.2 also. The drop didn't affect my traffic level since I still no.1 for this keyword phrases in Google other countries such Google.ca, Google.in, Google.com.au and etc.

My Google rankings didn't stop here. Today when I check my Google positions, I found that my Google rankings in a few of other keywords went down also. The keywords phrases are 'how to make money' and 'money maker'. Both rankings went down from #1 to #2. Besides that my top positions in Google other countries have got busted too. What a bad day I have.

But fortunately, my traffic level isn't seriously affected. The Google traffic I get today is only a few percent lower than usual and my daily earning from this blog is just slightly lesser than usual.

I have no idea what's the reason causes this drop. May be Google has done another ranking algorithm update causing my blog down or may be it is a little penalization from Google to me for climbing too high. Whatever reason is it, I'm optimistic with my Google positions. I guess this is just another Google ranking fluctuation that happen to many site and blog also. I think I will get back my no.1 rankings when another Google ranking fluctuation occurs.

Five Powerful Keys To Make Money Online

People are making millions on the Internet, people have made millions on the Internet and people will continue to make millions on the Internet. It is quite common for Internet users to begin a business almost by accident. They have an off line hobby, which they research on the Internet and often they find many like-minded people in forums or on blogs. Before they know it, things have progressed and they are drawn to the idea of making some extra money just by doing what they love most is their hobby. Sometimes these people go on to earn a full time income that allows them to quit their day jobs.

There are countless ways to work from home and produce an income from the Internet. Some are easier and quicker to get results, but all take time to learn, practice and perfect before serious results start coming in. There aren't many magic products or systems that will make you rich overnight, so don't spend too much time looking around for them. If you're a beginner in the online business arena, start with a program that requires minimum technical experience.

Many people have a dream to work from home and make money through an online business. While there are many ways to make money from online business, the most common methods for earning online income include:

E-books

If you have a passion for writing, you could write about different topics of your work online in the form of electronic books (e-books). If you can't or don't want to write your own books, you can often buy the resale rights to someone else book and sell it for a profit.

Blogging

Blogs are like online diaries. If you are enthusiastic about a subject, you could start a blog on one of the free blogging service providers. Once you get people visiting your blog, you could then add advertisements on which you get paid when someone clicks on them. You could also advertise your own related e-book to make even more money or advertise other people's products and earn a commission on any sales.

Paid Surveys

Many organizations and website owners will pay you for completing an online survey. You will be asked to provide a personal profile and your likes, dislikes etc. and you will be provided with surveys based on that profile. The best part is, you can sign up. With as many of these companies as you wish. Nowadays there are many websites that, for a fee, will put you in contact with lots of reputable survey companies. This will save you time and effort however if you do not want to pay for these services, you can always use search engines to locate them yourself.

Online Auctions

You really could have cash lying around in your attic. If you have any items, in good condition, that you are no longer using you could sell them online at auction and make almost instant cash. You could also buy items off line to resell online and pocket the difference between what it cost you and the price you sell it for. There are companies around that will store and ship goods for you. This is known as Drop Shipping.

Affiliate Programs

Some merchants allow you to promote their products or services and will pay you a commission each time someone buys that product or service. These are known as Affiliate Programs. They are free to join and commissions vary from around 3% to as much as 80% depending on the product or service.

You can find out more about the above money making methods by using any of the online search engines.

There are many more ways to make money online but before you dive headlong into looking for these opportunities, I have a word of warning. Do not be tempted to give up your regular job until, and unless, your online income exceeds your off line income for at least 4 consecutive months. I say this simply because sometimes your online income can fluctuate and often this income will depend on factors outside your control.

Massive Sales through an affiliate program.

Having hundreds of commission only salesmen can boost your sales immensely. An affiliate program is a fantastic solution for all businesses with a web site.

If you haven’t got your own affiliate program set up already this is going to blow your mind. And if you have an affiliate program I can guarantee that this will be a real eye opener. The majority of affiliate program owners have it set up in a way that is completely wrong.

Encourage People To Sign Up

Here’s where most people go wrong. They set up an affiliate program and have a links that says “click here to sign up” and then that’s it. You need to sell your affiliate program. Have a mini sales letter that explains the benefit of people signing up. Tell them their commissions and how they can earn a living without ever having to create a product or have a web site just by promoting your products.

Provide Affiliates With Marketing Materials

Here’s another big one. Site owners get people to sign up their affiliate program and then just leave them to it. It’s like they’re saying “thanks for signing up, now go and make me some cash”. That’s ridiculous. You need to do all the hard work for your affiliates if you want to start earning the big bucks.

Here’s the thing. You could write an article and submit it to article directories all over the Internet and do very well for yourself. However if you just had one hundred affiliates blasting that article all over the net you’ve just multiplied your marketing power by one hundred. This is the key to making massive mounts online.

If you can’t write articles etc yourself hire someone to do so from www.elance.com but do provide your affiliates with marketing materials or your just setting yourself up for having a very mediocre Internet business

Another great method you can use with this is have a weekly competition. Each week your affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one hundred dollars or whatever you can afford. Mention the winner in a weekly newsletter and say things like “who thinks they can overtake Joe Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I know I’ve got some great marketers signed up as my affiliates prove it and I’ll mention you in next weeks newsletter”.

This is great. Psychologically you are motivating your affiliates to promote your products like crazy to get recognition as being your “top gun”. Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.

Motivate Your Affiliates And Explode Your Profits

I’ve been taking about what you need to do in order to earn a serious living online through having your own affiliate program. Done properly this could earn you more money than you could ever have dreamed of. The methods in this article outline what you need to do to in order to overcome the three barriers of starting an affiliate program.

You need to:

Persuade people to sign up

Make it easy for them to market

Motivate them to market fast and market hard.

Do this and you’ll be able to create a hugely successful affiliate program and you’ll sell a truckload of your products without any real hard work or any costs.
