Knowing What Makes People Buy is Important for Making Money with Internet Marketing - Part 1

You have numerous choices of making money with Internet marketing. You can set up you own e-commerce store, promote other people products through affiliate programs, auction your items on eBay, provide freelance services, run content blog and site for Google AdSense and direct ads selling, run paid membership website, write and market your own e-books and many other Internet marketing profit methods.

Most of these methods of making money online have one thing in common. They involve products or services marketing. To be able to effectively market and sell your products to your target prospects, you will need to know the facts of what make people take action to purchase a product or service.

Knowing what make people buy will help you a lot in creating successful marketing campaigns consistently.

Now, let us examine some such ways that make people buy.

Fast Action
One such word is “fast”. Humans are basically very restless in nature and don’t like waiting for something that can be done now. Why do you think we go to fast food restaurants, definitely not because the food is great. We all know why microwave is so popular. Because of busy lifestyles, people don’t have the time to do things leisurely. The word “fast” becomes very relevant in the above examples. Let the customer know that your product increases their productivity and speed. It saves them time.

Money-back Guarantee
People need reassurance. They need to know that they don’t have to worry. That is why a product should be sold with a money-back guarantee, to address this concern in customers. The fact that they have nothing to lose even if they try the product, should be made clear to them and this will make them buy. That is the reason all products in Clickbank come with an unconditional 60-day money back guarantee. If anyone is not happy with the product, they can get a refund. The word ‘guarantee’ packs a whole lot of punch. You don’t have to be afraid giving a guarantee as long as your product is good, because the number of sales will increase dramatically.

Limited quantity
When we say limited, it means the supply is less, which means that you are not selling many of the same products. Psychology states that when people see that there is less supply of a certain product and it may get over soon, they tend to buy that immediately so that they don’t miss that product. They may not care if they actually need it right now. They will buy it hoping they would need it in the future and when they do, there will not be any left. This is called the fear of loss.

Knowing What Makes People Buy is Important for Making Money with Internet Marketing - Part 2

In case you haven't read part 1 of this article, Please read here.

Easy and Simple

Everybody wants things to be easy and simple. People are tired of running through life. Life has become so fast-paced, that nobody has the patience to do things manually and want products that can help them complete a job as fast and with as much ease as possible. That’s the reason all these advertising services are so successful. They provide you submission to 100s of directories with just a push of a button. That’s the kind of service people are looking for, something that makes their life easy.

So, if you wish to increase your business, keep whatever you are selling easy and simple. If you are selling an e-book, keep it simple to read and if possible give step-by-step instructions. Just keeping the words ‘easy and simple’ in mind will help you create a product that is user-friendly.

Testimonials
On the internet, day-in and day-out you keep hearing stories about being ripped off by some cheat or the other. It has reached such a stage that the first reaction when something new crops up, is that of being wary and wondering if it is ‘legit’. The fact is, it has become very difficult to understand what is legit and what is not.

This is where testimonials come in. If you can get some respected internet marketers to testify for your product, it shows to people that there are other, that too top marketers that do use your product. This lessens their fear of buying something they know nothing about. It gives you credibility and it’s not only your product that people will trust, but also you.

But then it isn’t all that easy getting testimonials from the big wigs if you are new. You will have to earn them. You will have to contact all the big names in your niche by writing to them and telling them about your product. You can tell them that you would send them a complimentary copy if they are willing to review it. Tell them to give a testimonial only if they feel the product is of value. Although, there will be many people who will turn you down, there will be others who will accept.

Discounts and Sales
If you have just come up with a new product and are planning on selling it, before setting a price, think about the value of your product and look at the competitor’s pricing for a similar product. Then decide on the price and fix that as the ‘normal’ price for your product. Think about what you would be willing to pay for it, if you were the buyer. Make a note of that price and this is your discount price. Include the original price on your website and tell people you are giving a discount for a limited time only. Customers love discounts and sales. Who knows, you may end up making more sales this way.

These are just some of the psychological triggers that make people buy. There are several other and I could go on and on, that you need to master. Some of them are easy to implement and some may take some practice.

Do not be under the impression that internet marketing is just a numbers game, like some people say. They are real people out there, like you and me, buying stuff from us. You would want to feel good about selling to them, about being able to relate to them.

You can make people buy by using any trigger, as long as your conscience is clear that you are giving your customers value for money.

eBay Auction Titles are Important for Making Money on eBay

When it comes to selling items on eBay, the buyers first impression on your product is the title of your auction listing. The listing title is your first chance to really draw the potential buyers attention and entice them to click the title link to find out more about your offer. A good auction listing title can attract more people to view on it and possibly generate more sale and profit for you. But if the title is bad, it can get your auction ignored – or even removed.

Take some time to review your auction titles. Are they really telling the viewers about your item in exciting terms? It is very important that you can convince the interested buyers to click on your listing title to check out your auction. The auction title shouldn’t be filled with too many punctuation and special characters as viewers often ignore these auction titles. The buyers will not be able to understand what your auction is actually offering on their first glance if the title is full of gibberish. They will look for another more readable auction title from your competitor. So, you will want to make sure the titles of all your auctions are compelling and clear enough to push your potential buyers to check out what you are offering.

A good way to learn how to write good listing title is by reviewing the previous completed auctions that sold the similar items with your. When you read these auction titles, you will discover that most of the completed auctions were written well and included specific item information. If your item has a brand name, mention it in the title. If you are listing a new (never been used) and original item, say it in title also. Details make the difference between viewers clicking on your auction or someone else’s.

In addition to that, you should also use alternate spelling. For instance, if you are listing a computer for sale on eBay, you might mention that it has a 40 gig hard drive, a 40GB HD, a 40GB disk, and etc. Try to think of the terms that the potential buyers will use to search on your items on eBay and use some of these terms. This could help increase your auction page views.

Some terrible listing titles aren’t allowed in eBay.

What sorts of auction listing titles that get removed by eBay?

It is those titles that fill with too many keywords which will show up often in searches, but which have no relevance to the actual product. This practice is called keyword stuffing. For instance, a seller is selling a Manchester United soccer jersey. In the auction listing title, the seller also put the names of ten other related soccer teams because this could make the auction show up in more searches and get more people to view on it. However, buyers who search for an Arsenal Soccer jersey will be frustrated when they find the keyword-stuffed listing and read that the auction actually not offering what they were searching for. Thus, keyword stuffing isn’t working. And it can get your eBay seller account disabled by eBay.

Auction listing titles are the very first layer of promoting your items on eBay. Of course, the good quality of your items and excellent customer service will keep customers buying from you again, but you need to have a good title to draw their attention in the first place.

Money Maker Info Blog Lost Google Rankings about 24 Hours

When I checked my AdSense stat yesterday, I found that my page view and AdSense earning dropped dramatically. So, my first guest was that, this blog must have been experienced a serious drop of traffic. I then went to Google to check the keyword rankings for this blog and found that I lost my no.1 rankings for most of my targeted keywords. Oh my god, Google must have penalized my blog, I said.

But, fortunately today Google sent my blog back to the original top rankings which makes me excited but a little confuse now.

It is so true that Google's ranking Algorithm is very complicated. I have learned and experienced Google search engine optimization for more than a year. I still know not much about how Google is ranking websites. Yes, getting top on Google is about building relevant and quality backlinks; and proper keyword optimizations on your webpage such as Meta title and Meta description tags.

A website that has done well on these things may achieve first page on Google for the main keywords the site has targeted. But Google is smart and monitoring websites closely. A website that reaches top rankings isn't always staying top for long. Google will keep on changing their ranking algorithm, evaluating websites on a regular basis (possible daily) and doing updates. As a result, many webmasters and bloggers have a hard time maintaining their top rankings. Even, some of them have built their backlinks consistently and updated their sites with fresh content, but they still fail to maintain their site rankings when their sites reach certain ages. All these make Google a unique search engine that is unpredictable.

Ranking Drop is My Nightmare
When I first found that my site disappeared on Google's first page for most of the major keywords. I didn't shock at all as I have often seen Google drop websites and got the idea that it could happen to any website. But I feel sad and uncomfortable on this sudden drop; and didn't sleep well yesterday night. Now, I have not idea if this is a warning to Money Maker Info that Google will soon penalize it or is just another Google update that causes temporarily disappear. But one thing for sure is that I will always work on it to keep my Google rankings. Google has sent tons of free traffic to my blog and helped me make good money online.

Google always Did the Right Thing
I personally think that Google has done well in providing quality search result to the users and searchers. I’m sure one of the purposes of Google on changing their ranking algorithm regularly is to provide the best search result (relevant and quality) to the users. Their choose what sites to rank on their first result pages for best keeping and growing their user base and improving the business performance. I have nothing to blame if Google really throws my blog out of top 10.

All Advertisers are Refunded
When my blog disappeared on Google, I have thought about the traffic that I can send to my sponsors who display 125x125 banner ad on my blog. I thought I'm going to be out of top for weeks and not able to generate the amount of traffic (few hundreds of targeted visitors monthly) that I used to generate for them. One of my sponsors has advertised on my blog for more than 4 months. I don’t want to disappoint them, so I made a partial refund to all of them and taken their ads down.

Watch out for Scams
You need to be very careful when searching data entry opportunities on the Internet as there so many data entry scams programs out there. These scams programs typically have their own website and sale page set up to lure people into paying money to join their programs. They will promise that you can get rich with little effort in data entry. But once you have paid and accessed to their program, you will find that all that they describe in their sale pages aren’t true and become very disappointed.

So, you should avoid any program that asks you to pay a fee so that you can start working for them immediately. Keep away also from those websites claiming that you can make $500 with data entry job, make easy money by posting ads, email processing and etc.

As a data entry freelancer, you should always deliver the final output as per the instructions without mistake and within the specified time.

A good profile will help you get more freelance projects and make more money.

Is Making Money Online Easy?

The decision is taken, you wish to start a home business. So, is this an adventure which is going to create income? Is it going to be tough? Find out in this article.

You will probably love me for answering sure, piece of cake! Making easy money is buying a lottery ticket, waiting, praying and winning the Jackpot. Easy, but it only happens to an extremely reduced number of people.

A home business is like any other business, you have to work hard, create and be organized. And then, there are some attitudes and choices that can make things easier and more successful.

1. Positive Thinking.
As you think, so you become. Believe in yourself; know your strength and capacities. You have found the best Internet Marketing Opportunity for you and are set to earn a second income or to make a full time job out of it. Great, this is your goal; this is what you will achieve. There is no doubt about it. You have it blueprinted in your mind. Every day when you switch on your PC, just say for yourself "I am a successful affiliate marketer". Use this affirmation over and over again. If you have complete faith nothing is impossible.

2. Read.
There are thousands of articles, blog notes, interviews and comments from entrepreneurs who have succeeded and are at the Top. Learn from them; accept their tips and suggestions. Use them as you Mentors. There are explicit affiliate marketing strategies to be followed to become successful. Follow them; rely on the expertise of those before you. Assimilate all the knowledge you can find, then put it into practice for your own business and become creative.

3. Persistence.
You will be overwhelmed with information, your mind will be filled with doubts, and there will contradictory opinions. For a slight moment you will think, "how about giving up". No, you know you will achieve your goal; you have your daily affirmation and your positive thinking. At this precise moment step back, go for a walk and let go. Make a full analyze of where you stand in your learning process, be still for a while and come back stronger and more determined than before. Please allow me to quote my Yoga Master, Sri Swami Satchidananda: "If you make a vow, no matter what it is, stick to it. Sticking to it is a very difficult thing to do. You will have to face a lot of tests, but be persistent. The ability to persevere will prove that you are the master of your own mind."

4. Ask for Help.
The big advantage of being a so-called newbie is that you are not afraid to ask for help. Why should you? Don’t forget that those who are right now Leaders and Top Sponsors started with the same doubts and anxiety as you. They were the new kids on the block a few years ago. Nobody is born with all the knowledge, and luckily so, there is nothing more challenging and exiting than to learn and make your brain function. From my own experience, I can gladly tell you that people have been and continue to be extremely helpful and kind to me.

So, is making money online easy? Yes, but don’t push you luck! Don’t sign up for an affiliate program, sit down, switch on the TV and wait for the money to fall from the sky. Work hard, believe in yourself and be persistent, experience new ideas, create, get involved with those who know more than you; set your goals and enjoy the ride.

Can I Make Money Online on eBay (Part 1)

There are many eBay business success stories published on the internet. You may have read some of them. But for every success story, there are actually thousand failures. People use their selling ideas and list all kinds of items on eBay for sales. But, the sad news is that not many of them sell their items well. So, you may want to know can I really make money selling on eBay. The answer is yes, you can.

eBay isn't a marketplace that can help people get rich quick. You will be disappointed if you jump on to eBay and expect fast profit. Building a successful eBay business needs three ingredients: time, money and hard effort. With these ingredients, you can make good money.

Three Important Questions You Have to Ask Yourself
You need to ask yourself these questions before getting into eBay selling. How much capital do I have for inventory investment, eBay fees, and unforeseen expenses? How much time do I need to put into this eBay business? Do I possess the necessary energy and drive to build up this business? Once you have answered these questions, you will know exactly what course of action to take. If you have limited time and energy, you can begin by selling part-time on eBay. This is ok; many people who own a day job is doing fine in their part-time selling on eBay. There are monthly bills you have to pay; a new eBay business can't replace your income right away. It may take years of time.

Money can be a Problem
Money is another thing you have to think about. Do you have sufficient capital to build your business? If you have saved money for years, then money shouldn't be a problem that will obstruct you from building and growing your eBay business. But, if you don't have the available start-up fund, you can try to sell unwanted items from your home. This is a way to obtain some capital.

What You are Going to Sell
The three issues: money, time and energy have all been discussed, now it is time to find out what products to sell on eBay. You can sell almost anything on eBay but not everything sells well on eBay. Some items never sell because there are 100 other eBay sellers are listing the very same thing. Before you start an auction to list your item, do some market research. eBay offers a number of free resources for eBay sellers. Take advantage of all of them before listing your first item. Effective use of these free marketing tools and resources will give you an edge that others did not bother to look at. The information you obtain from your research will give you clear insight of what items to list in the eBay marketplace.

Know Your Competition

Competition is another thing you need to study. Avoid selling items that are in direct competition with those eBay power sellers. eBay power sellers generally have good feedback rating, probably people will prefer to buy from them. Also you will not want to become a rival of Wal-Mart as it is just too hard to profit with items that are selling on Wal-Mart. As a new eBay seller, you should sell something that has demand and the competition isn’t that tough. There is a good e-book that can help you find profitable items to list on eBay. The e-book is called overlooked treasure. It let you know 91 high demand every day items that you can sell for good profit. And the good news is many of these hot every day items aren’t in tough competition condition in eBay.

eBay Reputation
Your reputation and feedback ratings are very important for your eBay business success. Good customer service and fast delivery service will help you build your positive image on eBay.

Make Money Online with the Newbie Cash Machine

My first impression of Ewen Chia’s Newbie Cash Machine was one of scepticism. I thought it was another how-to internet marketing product aimed at unsuspected newbies…I bet this same thought is going through your head. I have tried many of online marketing programs and none of them seem to work out in the long run. I have to admit that my initial negative preceptions were misplaced. Yes I bought the product, I downloaded it, opened it up, and started reading it.
I was absolutely blown away!!
I have never seen such a product that goes step by step, and goes into so much detail.
And the things is, the report will not help only newbies, but intermediate level marketers as well. It is very rare that I recommend a product as being a good buy for the majority of the people out there. But this product, I am willing to go out on a limb and say that the Newbie Cash Machine is an excellent investment for nearly anyone who wants to make money with their very own internet business.
You will also learn a lot about the core principles of affiliate marketing in this program. Probably one of the best and biggest secrets I picked up on was how to promote products without using so much hype, and I have always wanted to know how to sell without appearing to sell.
Oh and newbies will also learn how to design opt-in landing pages. That is not something you often see in a introduction to internet affiliate marketing.
What do I not like about the product?
The only thing I can complain about is that it is in PDF format. With it being 141 pages of information you almost have to print it out and it will take up some of your printer cartriges. But the information enclosed in the program is well worth the ink. I promise.
That being said, this program is not a sign up and make money automatically program. You must put in a little work and learning how to become an affiliate marketer. But I can assure you that this is real and if you want to make REAL MONEY ONLINE it is an investment you cannot pass on.
If you are looking for the ultimate money-making blueprint to generate income online, look no further, THE NEWBIE CASH MACHINE is your program. It really does deliver what is promised and it is fairly priced. In my opinion, it is underpriced considering the wealth of information included.
Also, there is a dozen or so step by step video tutorials, website templates and website graphics packaged that go along with it if you look out for it.

Verdict: Highly recommended. Check it out. It will change your life. It cannot hurt to look. “Don't wait. The time will never be just right.” Napolean Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich.

The Tao of Making Money Online

"Be in harmony with yourself and let things take a natural course"

Now when Lao Tsu was writing many hundreds of years ago, I bet he wasn't struggling with concerns about whether to make money online by filling in surveys or contemplating what the merits of affiliate marketing were. In fact, I bet most of you guys reading this who have tried to make money online have found it anything but a harmonious occupation.

Now, I am a guy who decided to make a living online a couple of years ago and I am pleased to say that I now make a fabulous living and without leaving my home. To start with though, I just kept failing. Whatever I did resulted in failure. I actually thought it was me being stupid or something. Surely I was the only person in the world that wasn't making big bucks with a computer and a connection to the internet! Then I made a discovery about myself that turned things around. And what was this moment of enlightenment you ask in excitement? Well it was this - if I just slowed down a bit and lowered my expectations I felt a whole lot better about things in general and making money online in particular.

You can call this the Tortoise and the Hare syndrome if you wish, but no sooner than I slowed down than the sales went up. How so? Well, I took some of my own advice that I gave to my son when he was struggling with his school homework, "get your course work out and read it again without skimming through the pages". Now over the years I had accumulated a virtual library of e-books all instructing me how to become a millionaire before the sun would set. Every book had a different cover but they all had pretty much the same messages. Dusting of the one that was easiest to read (the one not written by a practicing megalomaniac) I started again but this time a little slower, trying to perfect each technique as I went. When things weren't happening, I walked away for a day and then started again. Money targets went out of the window and I settled for whatever happened with a happy heart.

What happened folks, is that I expected nothing, my family expected nothing and my friends expected nothing. And so when things started to take off, everybody was thrilled. I had achieved in six months what I had set off to do in the beginning but without the stress to go with it.

How To Turn Your Blog Into A Profitable Business

There are many ways to make money online and one of the easiest method is to make money through blogging. Most people make money through recommending affiliate products. In this article, I'm going to show you two other rarely known yet lucrative types of business models that you can use to make money through blogging.

The first and most widely used method to convert your blog into a profit generator is to sell advertising to various companies and brands who wish to reach your blog's readers.

But how do I find sponsors for my blog?

I'm glad you ask. Here's how.

If you are blogging with the objective of selling your ad space, there are two essential methods that you can use to recruit sponsors who are willing to advertise on your site.

The first method is the easiest method. You can make money blogging by selling your advertising space through Google's Adsense program. The benefit of Adsense program is that it requires relatively little effort on your part to set up the ad and start making money. However, the disadvantage is the earning potential may be lesser. Many bloggers have reported that they make less money through this method.

The second method is to sell advertising directly to companies who are interested in putting banner ads or sponsored links on your blog. This method can be time consuming and it requires your effort to look for these sponsors. But it is often fairly lucrative. If you have a lot of contacts in the industry related to your blog, you can contact these people and strike a deal with them.

The most severe setback with this model is that you frequently have to attract quite a sizable readership before you can catch the attention of corporate advertisers. This can mean you have to do many months of work before you can start making money this way. During this period, using Google Adsense is a side income for you.

The second type of money making blog is one that assists one single brand to improve its image by forming positive associations between the blog and the brand in the mind of blog's readers. Both business models can make a lot of money, especially if you have a devoted mind for marketing.

As blogging develops into a more and more profitable business, many well-known companies are considering how they can be part of this movement. One way that companies are leveraging on the blog movement is by having blogs that represent something like a friendly face for their corporation. Often, a company will engage an reputable blogger to build a blog designed exclusively to appeal to that company's customers and to form positive associations with the brand in consumers' minds. Many bloggers have been approached by companies and are offered quite a large sum of money for this kind of engagement.

Make Money Online with Affiliate Marketing Through an Effective Newsletter

Publishing newsletter is a powerful method for building an email opt-in list and marketing your affiliate products or services to earn consistent affiliate commissions. Many affiliates will create a website and a squeeze page to invite targeted visitors to sign up for their newsletters.

The affiliates will obtain the email address of their targeted visitors during the sign up process. The affiliates will then publish and send their newsletters to the members in their mailing list on weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.

Newsletters have helped a lot of affiliates achieve success in affiliate marketing. As many people realized that newsletter is a power tool for increasing affiliate commission, so many of them who do affiliate marketing started to create a newsletter of their own. As a result, there are now thousands of free email newsletters available on the Internet. But, the sad news is, many of these newsletters aren't making any reasonable money for the affiliates.

To really improve the performance of your affiliate marketing business through a newsletter, you need to create an effective newsletter. And below are some helpful tips for creating and running a newsletter successfully:

1. The Newsletter's content should be Targeted to Your Niche
If you want to have a newsletter that can brings in decent of affiliate commission for you, then the articles and information of your newsletter need to be directly related to your niche. If your niche is Internet marketing, avoid sending content about weight loss. Your subscribers will want information and content highly and directly relevant to the topic

2. Create the Content Yourself
The newsletter will help you build your own reputation. You need to let your subscribers know that you are an expert in the topic. So, you need be creative. Try to put in more original ideas and write all the articles and content yourself. If you copy and paste other people content onto your newsletter, subscribers who read your newsletter will not see your own work. Then this will mean you are promoting others instead of yourself. If the subscribers appreciate the content inside your newsletter, then they are actually appreciating the original author who writes the content, not you.

But, sometimes, if you see some excellent articles, you can include one or two of them into your newsletter. But you should write your own introduction in the beginning of the article and also let the readers know why you are including the article.

3. Make Your Newsletter Publication on a Weekly Basis
If possible, send your newsletter once a week to your subscribers or once in every two weeks. Avoid monthly newsletters as they are not that effective. Publishing your newsletter weekly is probably the best practice. But avoid sending more than once a week, as subscribers want to hear from you but not so often.

4. Short Articles and Straight to the Point
The ideal length for the articles inside your newsletter is 250 to 800 words. If your articles are longer than that, you can break them into two to three parts. Use more simple words and sentences to make your articles easy to read and understand.

5. Promote One Affiliate Product or Service Each Month
Every month, choose and focus one affiliate product or service that you want to market during that particular month. Make sure the affiliate product you selected is relevant to your newsletter topics. This way your subscribers will also focus on receiving one product offer in every month and they may turn into buyers.

6. Offer Incentives
You may offer free gift or downloadable materials (e-books, software, report, etc) to your subscribers occasionally. This could make your subscribers happy and help establish good relationship. If the subscribers like you, they will stay as a subscriber of your newsletter for long.

Applying these six tips can help you build a revenue-generating newsletter. Just be focused on what you are doing and send your newsletters at least twice in a month.

Tips for Starting a Firesale for Quick Online Profit

The term of 'firesale' in Internet marketing means a sales promotion where a product is sold at an extremely low price and then for every few days, the seller will set a higher price for the product. A firesale promotion often lasts for 7 days and after that period the offer will be terminated forever.

For instance, if you are arranging a firesale for your software and set the promotion period for a week. The price structure for your firesale could be like this:

Day Today Lowest Price
Day 1 - 2 $15
Day 3 - 4 $20
Day 1 - 2 $25
Sale ends $35

Firesale works because the great price it offers on a limited time. Customers generally want things at a discounted price and firesales are target on this instinct specifically. So, even though they don't need the product immediately, they still will rush to buy it as they can only enjoy the low price once only.

After the customers bought your product through a firesale, some of them will spread the word out. They will let other people know about your great deal and thus, referring free potential customers to you.

Firesale often used by Internet marketers who sell info-products. They did this not just for increasing their sales but also to create a good market for info-products.

A firesale needs to be:

Time Limited: The sale promotion can only be categorized as a firesale if it bound by a time span. It can be one week, 10 days or other short periods. A firesale cannot keep on indefinitely.

Low Prices: A firesale is set up to earn quick profit and dispose your stocks quickly, so the sales promotion has to be offering a great discount prices so that it can effectively draw people attention and entice people pick up something they like, for a discount.

Strong Purpose: There must be a clear purpose for a firesale. For example, if you want to fund your children’s education, or if you want to buy a car, you may set up such a sale and earn some extra income.

When you are establishing an Internet firesale to push your products, you need to keep in mind a few things:

Product awareness - You need to determine how far your sale promotion has spread across the Internet; how wide the details of your products are known. Through several Internet marketing methods, you can reach out to your target group worldwide. There is also a need to know whether the people who ask about your product are actually interested.

Pricing: Pricing is a powerful marketing method. Keeping the prices low will increase both your products popularity and the demand. A firesale will raise product price every few day, but the customers will still purchase the product as it is actually still being offered at a discount. This is how the seller gains a great deal of fast profit.

Making Money Online with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or client brought by the affiliate’s efforts.

Affiliate marketing is very effective solution, because it allows you to advertise on a pay-per-performance model. Unlike other types of online marketing, such as pay-per-click and banner advertising, that require you to risk money upfront, affiliate marketing is strictly pay-for-performance.

Affiliate Marketing is the most promising and lucrative business model on the internet. There are millions of affiliate marketers but there is more than sufficient money for everyone out there.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. It is one of the few areas where you can start your online business with no money.

Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different types of companies and individuals are performing this form of internet marketing, including affiliate networks and affiliate programs.

One of the oldest ways to make money online, affiliate marketing programs continue to be one of the most effective methods; there are thousands of programs to choose from.

Affiliate marketing programs are frequently neglected, despite being one of the most cost-effective forms of marketing. Unlike other online marketing tactics, affiliate marketing isn't just about creative ideas, technology, and analytics. Affiliate marketing programs create and leverage a network of complementary Web sites -- targeting the same demographic -- to generate customer leads or sales on a commission basis.

In the other part, Affiliate Marketing Networks are one of the most interesting and highly popular concepts in online business. We can understand Affiliate Marketing Network as an intermediary body between affiliates and affiliate programs.

Affiliate Marketing Network is a third party that provides such services as aggregation and tracking to the affiliates as well as the affiliate program. It consists of of a group of merchants and affiliates where the affiliates promote the products from the merchants in exchange of a commission.

Affiliate Marketing Networks are companies that manage affiliate programs for hundreds and thousands of merchants.

Affiliate Marketing Networks are generally free to join. However, there are certain requirements you must have, such as having your own website or newsletter.

Affiliate Marketing Networks are also great sources to find good affiliate programs and can help you get payments from different merchants through a single check.

4 Powerful Ways to do Market Research and Uncover a Profitable Niche for Free

Aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners are often misled or misguided on the topic of how to properly conduct market research that uncovers a profitable niche.

The path most unsuspecting entrepreneurs take is by ending up at keyword tool or database to begin their search.

As a keyword research expert and founder of one of the leading keyword research services on the internet, I can say with firsthand experience that keyword databases are not the first place to look nor should be even considered. Here’s why.

The primary keyword databases that are currently available to the general public only give search counts on a limited amount of data that accounts for 1% - 2% of the actual searches people do around the entire world. They can only predict (emphasis added) the real majority of searches that are being done on the big five search engines such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, AOL and Ask.com which hold 97%-98% of the keyword data.

Most importantly, keyword research only shows what keyword phrases people are using in the search engines to search for answers, not what people actually buy on the internet. Just because a group of people search for specific terms or brand names does not mean that’s what they purchase. That’s a key distinction many entrepreneurs and business owners tend to gloss over.

When looking for a profitable niche marketplace, your primary focus should be looking for proof of a group of hungry and rabid buyers that want to exchange their money for a service or product (information, physical or digital). Without this crucial qualifier, you may have the greatest product in the world, but you may be lacking a market to sell it to.

This article will present a number of great sources to look at which will give you a running start to uncover a truly, profitable marketplace exists before you go for the gold and put all your resources into a website, product creation or expenditures toward some sort of online property.

Once you establish that you have located a market that contains signs of adequate commerce moving through it, you then have a worthy reason to look further into a keyword research service to find out what keyword phrases people use to find the market you have chosen.

Let’s begin looking at how to identify a profitable market.

MAGAZINES

One of the best ways to find signs of a truly profitable marketplace is looking for a magazine in that industry. If a publisher has enough money to print and circulate a full color magazine, there are most likely advertisers that support the funding of the magazine’s ability to circulate all the copies which most likely means there are sales being made by those advertisers.

Now, this may bring you to question whether there is too much competition in a marketplace with so many advertisers selling in a magazine.

In fact, it’s a great sign to have competition which means there is an adequate amount of customers to sell to and a portion of a sizable pie to be had in that marketplace. If there is very little competition, you may (1) not have adequate product being sold in that space; or (2) not have a marketplace to begin with. The larger the competition is, the larger the piece of revenues you will be able to grab.

Without having to leave your seat, you can hop on over to Magazines.com and looking through the number of different categories to find a profitable topic or industry in which to start an online concern.

One of the things you’ll want to focus in on is the number of subscribers each magazine has and how long the magazine has been in print for stability purposes.

Make a list of magazines you want to look into and then go hunting for them at one of those large dedicated newsstands that covers just about every magazine on every topic.

To get a better look at what people are buying in the online world, you will need to ultimately decide whether you wish to represent physical or digital products.

PHYSICAL PRODUCTS

There are two incredibly huge marketplaces that are massively trafficked, move a lot of product and are great places to find what people are really buying.

Let’s start with the first huge marketplace…

eBay

At eBay, you can look through a list of the most popular products people are buying through auctions or from eBay stores that vendors have setup. To see a visual path on how to locate the most popular products, please use the reference below to view the extended version of this article.

Amazon.com

Another really big marketplace is Amazon and it’s not just for books. You can find just about any product and name brand that is a mover and shaker. Again, look at the most popular products in those categories that catch your attention.

DIGITAL PRODUCTS

If you wish to sell products of the digital nature which does not require inventory and which usually carries high profit margins for affiliates, you’ll want to check out the Clickbank digital marketplace that ranks product sales from highest to lowest sellers in each category.

Just browse through categories at Clickbank.com and you’ll instantly find the top sellers of digital info products, software and subscription services which are located right at the top listings. See also reference section below for a link to the extended version of this article for visual aids and more detailed guidance.

Once you gather the adequate market research, you can do one of the following:

• Create an online store that ships out physical products and merchandise (requires inventory)
• Sell merchandise through eBay auctions or their online stores (requires inventory)
• Create a site that represents vendors as an affiliate (requires no inventory)
• Create your own product, service or software for a digital product (requires no inventory)

Having used at least two of the four places above, you can be assured that you have conducted proper market research to uncover “proof positive” what people are buying and, thus, a profitable niche market.

You can then quickly build out a non-complex site with a simple product offering, find some low cost keywords to use in a Google Adwords Pay-Per-Click campaign with a minimal spend of $50 to test the market and see if you have a winner.

If the initial test results pan out, meaning that you pulled a profit from your test, you can invest more energies, conduct more extensive keyword research and expend more advertising dollars. If the test results do not pan out, find another market until something sticks.

I believe this should arm you with enough information to get you moving toward finding a market with bottomless profits.

3 Ways to Generate more Profits From Your Subscribers

It is easy to make money from your subscribers. Unfortunately, lots of email marketers are not getting much response. The number one question asked by most email marketers is “How do I get more response from my lists?” This question is about the easiest solved. It is just that people are always looking for the harder ways because they think “the harder the technique, the more profits I’ll make”. Wrong. Remember Occam’s razor? You would if you have read the One Minute Millionaire by Robert. G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen. It simply states that when you have varying solutions to a problem, the simplest solution is always the best. This is simple isn’t it? But most people think it is not possible. So they keep searching for the wrong solutions. In this article, I’ll explain three simple steps that will increase the profits you make from your list(s).

1. Provide value. Don’t give your subscribers trash. Provide them with high quality content. The reason they subscribed to you is because you know something they don’t and they want to benefit from that. So, fill their needs. While it is good to have a guest writer occasionally, let your voice be heard. Let people realise the import of what they are learning from you. Give them YOUR own tips, YOUR own advice. You have experience. Share it with them. Make sure your content is practical. Think “what do I want them to do after reading this?” Your subscribers should be able to come away from the computer thinking about what you said and the possible applications. If you keep offering them quality content, you are bound to have them waiting for your next edition. The reason subscribers unsubscribe from any list is because they are not getting any value from the marketer. So make it an important factor in your marketing. You don’t have to send them emails daily. If you do it biweekly, weekly or monthly and offer high quality content, you are bound to get astonishing results.

2. Check to see if your subscribers get your mails. This can be done though it might entail an amount of work. Simply send them an email and tell them to hit the reply button if they got the mail. This would give you an idea of how many are getting your mails compared to the number of people you sent it to. The idea behind this is simple. Most marketers miss out a lot on the email campaigns because their subscribers are not getting their mails and therefore, they cannot make any money. It is amazing but statistics have shown that about 10% of the total number of people on your list gets your mails. That leaves out 90%! Gross isn’t it?

3. Send offers. Obvious technique; few practitioners. Marketers are usually scared they will lose their subscribers if they send them offers. Wrong. They subscribed because they felt they could get high value from you and trust you over time. If they can trust you, then it means you can provide them with high quality resources. Over 90% are not exploring this avenue. So, if you want to increase your income, explore this avenue. This will put you on the top moneymaking 10%.

Let’s recap:

1. Provide value
2. Check to see they got our mails
3. Send them genuine practicable offers.

Practice these three techniques, and you are bound to smile more frequently to the bank.

Boost Your Online Business With Effective Business Blogging

When you enter into an online business, there is not doubt that you have to set aside a budget for advertising. However, not all forms of advertising are necessarily going to cost you a boat load of money just to get started. If you are seeking a new and improved method of advertising your online business, looking into effective business blogging can bring you the revenue that you would normally spend for advertising.
Statistically speaking, business blogging is the fastest growing form of online advertising, and the key is that there aren’t any catchy words to toss out, no copy and paste data entry to deal with, and no fees for competing with the pay-per-click advertisers that make thousands off of your internet marketing efforts. Effective business blogging is as simple as you want to make it and often more effective than pay-per-click experiences. There are more effective business blogging campaigns out there (80,000 blogs that show up on the internet every twenty four hours and well over 50 blog enthusiasts) which means that you have a wide audience to cast a huge and authentic net.

Effective business blogging allows you the perfect opportunity to open up a dialog with your potential clients or business associates before they invest in your word. Developing trust and authentic relationships can take a little time, but once the trust had been established your business is likely to grow faster than you ever thought possible. Effective business blogging provides a forum for all parties to provide feedback and commentary to help you develop better business skills and offer the services or enhancements that will effectively help your business take off.

Effective business blogging also helps you develop a strong community of supporters. Bloggers are loyal people who tend to run toward their favorites and away from their least favorites, a simple human element that is alive and well in the blogging community. When you treat the blogging world with respect, the bloggers in return recommend your site, product, or services to others.

Effective business blogging means dropping the advertising campaigns. Blogs are the perfect backdrop to talk to potential clients or associates without selling them on your business. Give readers something of value to hold in their brains or their hearts and you will be fully aware of just how much buying power rests in the blogging community.

By combining the power of RRS feeds, keyword phrases, and effective business blogging all on one blog site, your business is placed in the most effective position to reap the benefits and financial rewards associated with the most effective business blogging. Test your blogs in several different venues and make sure that you educate yourself on the basics of effective business blogging. Unfortunately, one poor post can have a residual effect, but one good post is also likely to have a residual effect. Learn all that you can about the rules, as well as the unwritten rules, of effective business blogging in order to play on the same field as everyone else. This simple step can save you thousands in one costly error.

When you are ready to set up your own blog, follow the basic guidelines below in order to promote your business and receive the ultimate benefits of effective business blogging.

Start with interesting topics that allow you to integrate you blog design into your company. This isn’t that hard, just a little forethought (perhaps a template) and some creative help on the side if you choose can bring your new blog into the limelight faster. Always make sure you cover your legal ramifications and post disclaimers that refute your liability for content and the opinions of others and any harm that could come of inappropriate posts. This is a simple step that all effective business blogging should have just to make sure they don’t end up with a silly little legal hang up that can drive you under.

Always set the standard by posting your own terms of use and policies. You are permitted to set up basic limitations and offer content control. You also reserve the right to remove any offensive material.

Use your business blog as a forum, and don’t work too hard on the sales end of effective business blogging. Selling to your readers is an immediate turn off, as we are all bombarded with commercialism way too fast and hard these days.

Always update your business blog on a regular basis and research your new and improved content in order to keep your business blog interesting for your audience. Avoid bland talk about products and the superiority of your business.

If you have people who work for you, encourage or even mandate that all company employees use business blogging to enhance their own sector. For large companies, this can improve business morale and function and for small companies this can effectively help the business grow. Blog the first fifteen to twenty five posts prior to sending your effective business blog out into the marketing end. This makes it look more complete and offers readers a chance to integrate their thoughts on more than just one or two posts.

An effective business blog is not a set and leave it type of element. In fact, effective business blogging requires regular updates and attention in order to make it function well. Never believe that your blog will take care of itself or you will lose the ground you have already covered.
