Keys To Pay Per Click Management

What is PPC?
PPC stands for Pay Per Click. Effective pay per click management can be used to increase traffic, reduce cost per click and boost profit. A well managed pay per click campaign can, in fact, make the difference between profitability and loss.

Pay per click advertising on search engines allows you choose keywords you would like your site to appear for when a search is performed. You decide how much you are willing to pay each time a person clicks on the search results. The more you are willing to pay per click, the higher your site will appear in the results for the keywords you choose.

The search engines are primarily one of the best sources for targeted traffic to your website. With PPC advertising, your website can appear on the search results for as many keywords and key phrases of your choice. It allows you to get more targeted site traffic instantly. But Pay Per Click needs effective management as well. Without proper PPC management, you might just be wasting time and money.

Before spending any money with a pay per click search engine, be sure they can answer the following questions:

• How many searches a month are performed at the search engine?
• What major search partners or affiliates does the search engine have?
• How many searches are generated each month by the search partners or affiliates?
• Is it possible to opt out of having your listing appear in the results of the affiliate sites?
• What fraud prevention mechanisms are in place?

This form of advertising has become so popular on Google that it can now be difficult to find keywords that are useful and related to your content without spending a fortune. There are however, some things to keep in mind that will help you to become more profitable with pay per click advertising.

A growing problem among PPC advertisers is that their competition has been known to click on their ads in order to up their bill with Google. This is not always the case, but bewares of this practice. The real goal you have here is to convert the clicks to sales.

For the future of pay per click management agencies, consider this:

• It should now be easier to earn large commissions on pay per click ad spend
• Returns are more easily guaranteed to clients with PPC
• SEO is perceived to be more difficult and less rewarding
• Google themselves intend to drive SEO agencies out of business if they stick to SEO, and they are providing lower hanging fruit to agencies so that they consider switching more clients to pay per click advertising.

Pay Per Click management can bring success to PPC campaigns when done accordingly. Pay per click advertising is based on the auctioning of keywords. The more popular the keyword, the more money a company will pay to use it.

Often PPC advertising generates results immediately, so don't put off upgrading your system if necessary. Always make sure that your site is in top shape before you advertise as well. Sending someone to a site that is incomplete or not in top form will set a bad first impression and you will lose a potential sale.

PPC advertising is a very tricky thing. Pay careful attention to your pay per click campaigns. In many cases the network through which you advertised with freeze your ads for different reasons.

When using pay per click advertising, avoid the top three slots. Top three sites receive a lot of accident clicks and 'test' clicks. You definitely do not want these most of the time, as these searchers wont be as interested in your site as someone who actually read your advertisement and decided to check out your website.

Ways to Obtain Unique Content and Articles for Your Money Making Blog (Part 1)

The most important thing for a blogger is having unique content. With the number of blogs out there, the need for quality content is increasing. The success of a blog depends on the originality and quality in the information provided. The blogs that boast of repeat visitors are blogs that have something special for their visitors. The bottom line is that search engines simply love content.

There are several ways of generating fresh and unique content with minimal effort and time.

Here are some conventional and time-tested methods of getting fresh content.

Write from the heart
A bog is where you are interacting with your visitors and a personal touch will attract more people that you would think. Write a 500 word article each day for your blog.

If you are not a writer yourself or you would rather concentrate on getting traffic to your blogs or creating new blogs, then pay for the articles and get them written. There are some article writers out there that work for cheap rates and are good.

The tough part of maintaining a blog is certainly not writing content, it is getting new content ideas.

Content through researching
Researching other blogs may be time taking but a necessary evil. To be above your competition, you first need to know what they have to offer. Some blogs may have great ideas but their presentation of those ideas may be lacking, while others have unique presentation styles but lack ideas. Combining the best of other blogs and adding valuable information is the key to keeping your blog fresh and a step above the others.

Let us take a look at some unconventional and less used methods of obtaining unique ideas, which can then be transformed into unique content:

1. Google provides lots of other tools other than web searches, which can be used on the blogs, depending on the niche. News with http://news.google.com and a lot of latest up-to-date information can be retrieved and made summary of to create your own content.

2. Google ‘groups.’ (http://grous.google.com/). Here people discuss various subjects and is the best place to see what people are truly interested in, in a given niche.

3. Alexa.com, when you do a search on your subject comes up with the same results as Google as it is powered by Google. You may be wondering why you need to look at it then? Because it does provide value added information. When you do a search, click on the ‘site info’ link and not on the link that takes one to the listed site. You will be taken to a section, ‘People who visit this page also visit,’ and this is where you would be going, as this place shows what the marketplace is interested in.

4. Encouraging readers to ask questions and answering them on the blog is a great interactive way of attracting return visitors as well as obtaining useful content. The blogs that gets tons of comments get crawled by search engines more frequently, as a comment is almost like updating the page.

5. Check out the forums in the niche and pick out questions and talk about them on your blog.

6. Talk about the 'common misconceptions' in your niche and try to explain why it is a misconception in your blog.

7. Interview experts in the field, and this gets valuable information to your blog as well as helps with marketing.

Ways to Obtain Unique Content and Articles for Your Money Making Blog (Part 2)

Re-writing private label articles (PLR)
For a small fee monthly, you get a set of PLR quality articles of different niches every month in http://www.yourownarticles.com. Some of the PLR articles may be suitable for your blog. But these PLR articles aren't unique because they will be published by other people who buy them as well. So what you can do is re-write these PLR articles into unique articles and post them on your blog. You can either re-write them by yourself or by using an article writing software.

Article writing software will turn a PLR article into unique content in less than 10 minutes. But you cannot publish unique articles written by software straight forward on your blog. Some editing works are needed to improve the software-generated articles so that they sound ok when reading by humans.

Hiring blog writers
Outsourcing the content creation process to others will save you a lot of work and give you more free time. There are 2 choices when hiring writers for your blog. You can either look for a blogger that will in charge your blog content creation work entirely and pay the blogger a flat fee monthly. Or you can request freelance writers from freelance sites to write a number of articles for you and pay them anywhere $15 and $30 per article.

Guest blogging
When you are out of content ideas, you can invite other bloggers to write for your blog. This is known as guest blogging. The agreement usually is pretty simple. You invite someone to become a guest blogger and the guest blogger will write unique content for publication on your blog. In return, the guest blogger will get one or two free link back from your blog. You are getting free unique content this way and the guest blogger is benefited by getting free exposure and link back from your blog.

Automated content with Wordpress rewriter
Wordpress rewriter is a plugin for wordpress blogs, and this turns the articles into unique content. All pages will be 100% unique written content. You will be able to copy and paste, import posts through RSS feeds, place content from any source you want to, and everything will be transformed into unique content. I may not opt for this, but it certainly could be an option for someone hard pressed for time and looking for some easy content.

Just think outside the box and look for ways of getting the latest ideas for the niche you are in and content for your blog can be created in a matter of minutes. The only way to stay in the race is making your blogs content rich and driving traffic.

Finding Your Niche In The Affiliate Program Maze

Every person who comes to the internet with the idea of making money soon discovers that their choices are almost limitless. Indeed, the very first step is to make the choice between starting one's own website or locating the perfect affiliate program to join.

Finding an affiliate program is easy; finding the right affiliate program is much more difficult.


To get yourself on the right track, make a list - or business plan if you will - and be sure to ask yourself the most obvious question, "What am I going to sell?"

Here are some factors to consider when deciding the answer to that question:

o Should I choose a physical or digital product?

If you choose to get into the "shipping business" (and there are affiliate programs out there with real physical products), one factor to consider is who covers the costs? Traditionally, the affiliate program owner takes the full brunt of all costs. You, in return, receive a commission for sending a customer to that program (or physical products website).

No fuss, no muss.

However, a majority of the affiliate programs deal with intangibles, so called because the product is received over the internet in a "virtual" form. Digital ebooks, videos, training materials, and more are offered through various affiliate programs online.

This choice, too, offers very little hands on - your job will be to find others to tell about the program and get them to your affiliate program website.

Which leads us to...

o How hard do I want to work?

Investigative research is critical to successfully choosing the proper program online from which to make money. Choosing a physical product in high demand but with little competition means more commission checks in your bank account. Picking an intangible affiliate program with high demand but smaller competition (known as a "niche") may mean the difference to successfully making money online... or not. Choose a program with too many variables, too much competition, and the going is going to be rough. Research is critical.

o Will funding (your own) be an issue?

Regardless of the type of affiliate program (physical or intangible), you will need to factor in the cost of doing business online. Word of mouth, or viral marketing, will only get you so far. Some affiliate programs have a group buying power - more or less - and help you offset your advertising costs. Other affiliate programs require you to have the funds on hand to spread the word about your chosen venture. Be sure to add in advertising and marketing costs on top of any fees it may cost you to join your chosen affiliate program.

o More about your competition

If you have a special interest in some product add the words "niche marketing" to your vocabulary. Also note that you are headed in the right direction. Find a niche. Niche affiliate programs mean you will be searching out spots where very specific groups of individuals hang - in order to tell them about your chosen online business.

Instead of trying to persuade (and reach) millions, choosing a niche-type approach means locating individuals already looking for what you have found - then just telling them about it.

In theory, making money online sounds easy. Do not be misled, it is a business like any other business and requires planning. But, if you have the wherewithal and desire to truly make money online, choosing the best affiliate program is an ideal first option.

How to Set Up an Article Directory to Make Money Online - Part 1

The best part about having an article directory is that one can print their views on anything, although that’s not reason enough to set up an article directory. The main reason is to get the articles published without any restrictions, like other article directories demand. Like, there should be no ‘affiliate links’.

It’s not very difficult setting up an article directory and is cheap as chips. The script for an article directory is free, the only expenses involved are buying the domain name and hosting.

Generic domain name
When buying a domain name, it is advisable to buy something generic and something short, may be a five or six letter domain like Google or Yahoo. You could buy the domain name from GoDaddy or Namecheap but since the domain names would be brand new, they will not have any PR attached to them. It is wise to buy a domain with an already good PR. These domains are available for sale in the ‘services’ section of any marketing forum, like Digital Point Forum. It is not required to spend more than $100, in fact a great deal may be found for around $50 for a PR4 or PR5 domain name.

Installation of Script
Once the domain is decided upon, the next thing to be done would be to find an article directory script and hosting. There are two free article directory scripts available. One is called the Article Dashboard and the other is EvoArticles. Article Dashboard is free but slightly difficult to install for beginners, whereas EvoArticle is easier to install.

If you find it difficult installing the scripts, hiring someone to do this would be the best way out and it is not expensive at all. Modification of the template is required to make it more presentable.

Once you have installed and uploaded the article script to your web host. Your article directory is launched on the Internet and ready to be visited by others. There are a few things that need to be done to get the directory going online.

Get Free Content for Your Article Directory
The first thing to do is to promote your articles to invite people to sign up as an author and submit articles for publication on your article directory. You can get some people to become authors and contribute to your directory but announcing your article directory in Internet marketing forum like Digital Point and V7n forum. To find more authors and writers, you may try using article marketing techniques. Write a series of articles related to article marketing and submit them to a list of top articles directories. Make sure you introduce your article directory in your author bio and invite the readers to become authors.

Pay-per-click (PPC) search engine like Google and Yahoo can also send you some author sign up. The costs of using PPC search engines are pretty affordable as there are only a few people bidding for keywords like article directory, submit articles and other closely related keywords for PPC traffic.

Directories submission and social bookmarketing may also give some help in increase your article directory authors as well .

If you use the above mentioned marketing techniques and used them for some months. Your article directory will gain some Google page rank (PR), probably PR3 to PR4. And also the search engines may start sending your some traffic since your directory is updated with quality content frequently and has got a number of backlinks.

Monitize Your Article Directory
Google AdSense works well in quality content and it is the biggest money maker for the majority article directories on the Internet. So AdSense is the first money making program you should consider using it on your article site. Learn some AdSense optimization techniques and place your AdSense to the right positions to maximize your AdSense earning. The first place to start learning AdSense optimization perhaps is Google AdSense Help Center.


Article directory can also be used to promote affiliate products. Placing some of your Clickbank and Amazon affiliate banners and links may generate some sales for you.

Selling advertising space directly is another way to make money. Advertising packages people usually interested are banner ads and text links. So you may offer these advertising packages on your directory.

Build in Traffic for Your Article Directory
You will want your article directory to get as much traffic as possible. Just like websites and blogs, the more visitors and readers you can drive to your article directory, the more revenue your directory will generate possibly.

You are going to learn the various effective Internet marketing methods and use them to get consistent traffic for your article directory. Some traffic generating-techniques that are good to article directory are:

• Social bookmarking - bookmark your top articles on Digg, del.icio.us ,StumbleUpon and other large traffic social sites.
• Forum posting - Actively participate in forum discussion and send traffic from the forums to your directory using the signature section.
• Search engine optimization (SEO) - SEO works are tedious but your efforts are paid off when your directory achieve top ranks in Google.
• Squidoo - Create a Squidoo len (web page) to market and promote your article directory.
  

You'll need to put a lot of effort and time to generate traffic. You'll have to test what techniques works and which aren't work. Then focus on the effective techniques for traffic generation. You'll be repeating what your doing daily, weekly or may be monthly to get continuous traffic for your article directory and generate lucrative income.

The Rebirth Of Adsense?

First lets put the myth to bed Adsense was never dead or even seriously ill. It was just that advertisers were not happy with the returns they were getting from the content network. Many stopped advertising and the revenue dropped for publishers. This was partly due to poor quality sites and click fraud. I used to have hundreds of Adsense sites but I've got rid of almost all of them now and started to create very high quality sites that are designed to make over $10 per day.

So why I am starting to focus on Adsense again?


Very recently Google have made changes to the clickable parts of the ads. Whereas before the complete ad was clickable now just the URL and the title are able to be clicked. If you have sites where you blend the ads into your content in the hope of accidental clicks you will have found a big drop in your income.

I believe that Google's long term plan has been to make the content network a much better place for advertisers to place their ads. These changes to the ads will ensure that there are fewer accidental clicks so advertisers will make more profits from the ads. Greater profits mean more adverts.

Over the next few months I believe that the amount per click for Adsense will rise as smart pricing starts to take a back seat. Quality sites with quality content will be rewarded with more advertisers vying to place ads on sites and therefore higher clicks.

If you have an Adwords account you'll have noticed that many of the recent changes have been targeted at getting people to advertise on the content network. The more that do the better it will be for quality publishers.

To take advantage of this coming upsurge in Adsense you should start to build good quality sites with unique content. Start with finding niches that have lots of competing advertisers and good traffic. Then find a good quality domain name with no hyphens and make sure it's a dot com.

Using free tools like The Google Adwords External tool and Wordtrackers Gtrends Tool and bulk domain availability checkers you should be able to find some great niches and Domain names. These niches will have traffic from the time you build them which will give you a head start.

You next need to create content for both the site and to distribute to generate traffic. I am not going to pretend that it's easy but by spending time on each site and making sure that you build the traffic up you can soon start to generate a decent income from each site. Set yourself a target figure for each site that can either be visitors per day or daily income and focus until you reach it.

Don't be tempted to place lots of ad blocks on your page. This will only have the effect of reducing your income. Google displays the highest paying ads first down to the lowest. so you may have a $2.50 ad and also 3 $0.05 showing. But by just having 1 ad block displayed in the right place you ensure that the highest paying ads are displayed.

If all this sounds like too much work for $10 a day then you are missing one important fact. Good quality AdSense sites have a high resale value. Usually 6 to 10 times the monthly income. After a few months it is possible that you will have a site that you can sell for over $1000 dollars. Consider creating sites with the sole intention of selling them along with ones you intend keeping.

Adsense is most certainly not dead in fact I believe it's about to make the finest comeback since Lazarus!

Adsense Reborn?

Many people have said that AdSense was dead, I personally disagreed with this although I have severely cut back on the number of AdSense site I have. Less than 18 months ago I had in excess of 1.5 million pages indexed all with AdSense on them. I was earning almost $5000 per month. Now I have less than 20 sites. This was partly because my income per 1000 clicks from Clickbank is 20 times more than I get for AdSense clicks.

So why I am starting to focus on AdSense again?

In the past few days Google AdSense have changed the clickable area of the ads, you will now find that just the title and the URL are clickable and the background and description aren't. This will have a negative effect on your CTR if you have your ads blended into your site as you'll get far fewer accidental clicks.

On the other hand this might mean that more advertisers will feel that the content network is now a better place to advertise. I am sure that this is what Google are thinking and that over the next few months the revenue from ads will go up. Google wouldn't introduce something that was going to make a long term dent in their profits.

Over the next few months I believe that the amount per click for AdSense will rise as smart pricing starts to take a back seat. Quality sites with quality content will be rewarded with more advertisers vying to place ads on sites and therefore higher clicks.

If you have an Adwords account you will have noticed that many of the recent changes have been targeted at getting people to advertise on the content network. The more that do the better it will be for quality publishers.

To take advantage of this coming upsurge in AdSense you should start to build good quality sites with unique content. Start with finding niches that have lots of competing advertisers and good traffic. Then find a good quality domain name with no hyphens and make sure it's a dot com.

Using free tools like The Google Adwords External tool and Wordtracker's Gtrends Tool and bulk domain availability checkers you should be able to find some great niches and Domain names. These niches will have traffic from the time you build them which will give you a head start.

You next need to create content for both the site and to distribute to generate traffic. I am not going to pretend that it's easy but by spending time on each site and making sure that you build the traffic up you can soon start to generate a decent income from each site. Set yourself a target figure for each site that can either be visitors per day or daily income and focus until you reach it.

Restrict the number of ads on the page, Google will display the highest value ads first If you are displaying 12 ads on the page the first may pay $1.50 but the last might be paying 10cents. By restricting the ads to 1 set of 4 you will be certain of getting paid the highest possible amount.

One thing that most people fail to take into account about AdSense sites are their value when sold. A site earning $200 per month will be sold for between $1500 and $2000 depending on the amount of traffic. If the site is poorly monetized then the new owner may even pay more if the amount of traffic is high.

AdSense is most certainly not dead in fact I believe it's about to make the finest comeback since Lazarus!

6 Website Mistakes You must Avoid when Making Money Online

Have you ever heard from website owners that their websites getting thousands of visitors every day but making only a few buck daily? Something must be no right to their websites. They must have made some sort of website mistakes or they will not make that little with the massive number of visitors they get daily. I'm sure you don't want to become one of them that have spent a hard time on generating traffic but only earning little from the large amount of traffic they generated.

To make you money making website work, you must properly optimize your site and avoid making mistakes in your website. Speaking about website mistakes, below are some of mistakes you must avoid:

1) Too many outdated content - You should remove information and content that already outdated or no longer useful to your site visitors. And update your website when you have found latest information that your visitors like to read and know. Both, the search engines and visitors like fresh content. So you should consider publishing new quality articles on an ongoing basis. Publishing fresh and quality articles not only will help in keeping your traffic growing but also will increase your pay-per-click (PPC) advertising revenue as PPC ads work best with quality content.

2) JavaScript pop ups- A JavaScript pop up is a notification window that automatically opens when you visit a website that states and message ; and has an “ok” button at the end. This was very popular during the website boom, but quickly become a no-no because JavaScript pop up is annoying to many visitors and it has been over used by webmasters. Usually these pop ups aren't seen as important by the visitors. In most cases these pop ups do nothing but disturbing visitors thus easily annoying them. However, if you have a message that need to display to your visitors before they can go further on your website, then a JavaScript pop up may still be a good idea, but I strongly caution you to not overuse it, if you use it at all.

3) Too many graphics and pictures - Adding too many graphics and photos to your site can lower your website loading speed. Visitors don't like to wait too long to get into a site, many of them will choose to leave your site and look for another. Also a percentage of web visitors are still in dial-up connection, which means they will have trouble downloading websites that have large number of graphics. Unless your website is in flash, I would try to avoid using any type of animated graphic, since they typically have large file sizes.

4) Using heavy, high contracting colors- High contracting colors would grab the visitors attention but they can also hurt the users eyes, making them uncomfortable and swaying them away from the website. So you need to limit the use of high contracting colors. Areas that you shouldn't use these colors are your website background, the text areas and the navigation sidebar. For title and headline, using high contracting colors is a good idea to get your visitors attention.

5) Clutter up pages - If your website seems be cluttered visitors will be less likely to view further into your website, especially if they think they will have to weed out the information they need from the information that is useless to them. You do not want to have too much information and content in each page, and you don't want more then one topic on each. A good navigation system will eliminate any problem you have.

6) Too many ads appear on your site - Users usually visit website for information and not ads, so a website that has more ads than content will definitely drive people away. Visitors do not want to have to weed though the ads to find the content that they are looking for. You need to maintain a balance between ads and content that show on on your site. The irony of the situation is: A visitor is more likely to click on an advertisement link if they do not feel that they are being bombarded by them. This is defiantly a situation where the saying “less is more” is true.

Tips For Online Business Success

Everyone wants to break away from the 9-5 job and the scrutiny of their boss. In fact, unless your self-employed you can always be sure that you'll have someone watching over you ready to sack you as soon as you step out of line. When your the boss, and the owner, things change. Not only do you truly want your business to succeed, you can become filthy rich from the work that you put in to get there. So yes, everyone wants to be their own boss and experience true financial independence. However, the question is, how do you get there?

Think Outside The Box – Too many people fail to think outside the box. For example, they'll see that some websites are successful and they'll try to replicate exactly what they do. This can sometimes work, however more often that not it won't. Rather than copy a successful idea like-for-like, why not see if you can apply the successful elements of that website to your own?

Capitalize on Opportunity – If you spot a great idea then be sure to capitalize before everyone catches on. That means you shouldn't wait around for everyone else to spot the opportunity that's available: scale up fast, and grab as much market share as you can. For example, if you spot a great affiliate offer that's doing well and converting for you then don't hold back. If you go for it straight away you can start to dominate the organic SERPs for that product, and buy up all the advertising inventory you can find that converts. When you do this you'll be able to negotiate better rates with the merchant, thanks to the volume you provide, which means that any new comers simply can't compete with your dominance.

Execute – In the business world everyone talks about the importance of planning. It's true, planning is really important. However, what good is a plan, if you can't execute? When you come up with an idea, the best advice you can get is to go for it. If it doesn't work then accept it and move on. However, at least you can say you've tried. Each time you try a new idea you equip yourself with more knowledge you can apply to your next venture. Just remember that you'll never know if an idea works until you've went with it.

Swallow Your Pride and Move On – If you have an idea that doesn't work then the worst thing you can do is spend too long trying to rescue it. That doesn't mean you should give up prematurely – far from it. However, if you have an idea which doesn't seem to be working then don't spend the next few years obsessed with it. Why not move onto your next idea? The best products are made by people who are obsessed with them, however the best entrepreneurs are often those that are obsessed with the end results rather than the product that'll get them there.

Ways To Improve Sales Revenue Through Your Website

Anyone who has been marketing online knows that the lifeblood of a business is the traffic of a site. More visitors equal more sales. However, here are some ways that you can tweak your sites with to improve sales without the need to get more visitors.

The first method is to weave in your personal touch in your sales message. Nobody wants to be sold to by a total stranger, but many people will buy what their close friends recommend to them. If you can convince your audience that you are a personal friend who has their best interest at heart, they will be convinced to buy your products. Remember to speak to an individual in your sales letter, not to your whole audience.

The second method is to publish testimonials and comments from your customers. A good idea would be to publish both good and bad comments; that way prospects will be really convinced that these testimonials are real. When prospects see testimonials on your website, they will have the confidence to buy from you because human beings follow the herd mentality; when others have bought and proven it authentic, they will jump on the bandwagon and buy too.

Use visual representations for the problems and solutions that your product offers. Not everyone will read your text copy from the head to the tail, but most people will pay attention to images on your website.

Offer quality bonuses to accompany the product. When you offer bonuses that complement your product, your prospects will feel it's a very good deal and it would be stupid to miss it. Be sure to state the monetary value of your bonuses so that people will be even more compelled to grab your good bargain.

Lastly, ask for the sale! Many people entice their prospects with the benefits of their product, sell to them with stories of how it has solved many problems, even offered killer bonuses but forget to ask for the sale. Give a clear instruction on how to buy your product (e.g. "click the button to buy now!").

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Drop Ship Wholesalers for Your Online Business

Drop shipper is a wholesale company that will ship your product directly to your customer for you right from their warehouse. You don't pay until you sold the item.

Although drop shipping today is a hot topic being discussed among many online business owners, and it does have many benefits, it may not be the best option for every business. However, in this article we will take a closer look at some of the advantages, as well as disadvantages to be had from running an online drop shipping business.

First, if you are just starting out in setting up an online business to earn money online, and do not have much operating capital, then this may be the best option for you to go with. The great thing about this particular type of business is that you do not need to hold vast stocks of the products that you are selling. Instead, this is all done for you by the drop shipping supplier you have gone into partnership with. This results in you eliminating a significant cost in order for your business to be set up and to get it running.

The site you set up can be produced very quickly, and so be providing the product to those people you are targeting.

As you are getting the customers orders before you actually order the goods from the drop ship supplier, this means that you have little or no initial investment to make.

Because you are not actually holding any of the inventories yourself, then you do not need to pay either for storage facilities, or having to invest in expensive merchandise which you may not in fact sell.

Setting up an online drop shipping business provides you with the chance to diversify what you are actually offering to your customers. In fact, you will only be limited by not being able to find the right drop shipper for the product or items that you wish to sell.

Although there are plenty of advantages to setting up a drop shipping business, there are many disadvantages as well.

First, as you do not own the inventory that you are selling, then you will usually find that you have no control on how the product is packaged. Also, you will not be able to include any coupons or offers in to the package which can help in increasing the amount of return business you get.

Every company which offers their drop shipping services will have a different fee structure, so carry out as much in depth research as possible. In fact, you do not want to end up with high shipping costs, as this will only make people less reluctant to purchase their goods from you.

With drop shipping, because you are only ordering one item at the time rather than bulk amounts, then you will not expect to get the same kinds of discounts.

If you decide to sell multiple products that are supplied by multiple drop shipping companies, then you will also see a significant increase in the fees that you pay to the drop shippers, which, in turn, will need to be passed onto your customer in order for you to make a profit.

There are many suppliers who will be able to provide you with drop shipping services that you can use to integrate their products into your website. However, you may find that you will be charged a fee for using a particular service through them, so be sure that you carry out your research thoroughly before opting for one particular drop ship supplier.

One major drawback to be had from setting up a drop shipping business is that not all manufacturers allow for drop shipping. This is because they will need to employ more staff (extra costs) in order for them to process these individual orders, and could result in delays in their normal shipping and receiving system. There are other companies who will only supply in bulk, so this means that it is impossible for smaller outlets to get custom orders provided for them for select numbers of items.

However, when drop shipping is available, certainly many small as well as internet based businesses find that it can solve many more problems than those it may create.

How To Achieve Success With Your Own Money Making Newsletter

Writing and publishing a successful newsletter is perhaps the most competitive of all the different areas of mail order and direct marketing. You can still publish newsletter through regular mail. With Internet's help, you can publish your newsletter online. You can reach hundreds of subcribers without costing any postage - it is called eZine publishing.

Writing and publishing a successful newsletter is perhaps the most competitive of all the different areas of mail order and direct marketing. You can still publish newsletter through regular mail. With Internet's help, you can publish your newsletter online. You can reach hundreds of subcribers without costing any postage - it is called eZine publishing.

Five years ago, there were 1500 different newsletters in this country. Today there are well over 10,000 with new ones being started every day. It's also interesting to note that for every new one that's started, some disappear just as quickly as they are started...lack of operating capital and marketing know how being the principal causes of failure.

To be successful with newsletter, you have to specialize. Your best bet will be with new information on a subject not already covered by an established newsletter.

Regardless of the frustrations involved in launching your own newsletter, never forget this truth; There are people from all walks of life, in all parts of this country, many of them with no writing ability what so ever, who are making incredible profits with simple two-four- and six page newsletters.

Your first step should be to subscribe to as many different newsletters and mail order publications as you can afford. Analyze and study how the others are doing it. Attend as many workshops and seminars on your subject as possible. Learn from the pros. Learn how the successful newsletter publishers are doing it, and why they are making money. Adapt their success methods to your own newsletter, but determine to recognize where they are weak, and make yours better in every way.

Plan your newsletter before launching it. Know the basic premise for its being, your editorial position, the layout, art work, type style, subscription price, distribution methods, and every other detail necessary to make it look, sound and feel like the end result you have envisioned.

Lay out your start up needs; detail the length of time it's going to take to become established, and what will be involved in becoming established. Set a date as a milestone of accomplishment for each phase of your development; A date for breaking even, a date attaining a certain paid subscription figure, and a monetary goal for each of your first five years in business. And all this must be done before publishing your first issue.

Most newsletter publishers do all the work themselves, and are impatient to get the first issue into print. As a result, they neglect to devote the proper amount of time to the market research and distribution. Don't start your newsletter without first having accomplished this task!

Market research is simply determining who the people are who will be interested in buying and reading your newsletter, and the kind of information these people want to see in your newsletter as a reason for continuing to buy it. You have to determine what it is they want form your newsletter.

Your market research must give you unbiased answers about your newsletter's capabilities of fulfilling your prospective buyer's need for information; how much he's willing to pay for it, and an overall profile of his status in life. The questions of why he needs your information, and how he'll use it should be answered. Make sure you have the answers to these questions, publish you newsletter as a vehicle of fulfilment to these needs, and you're on your way!

You're going to be in trouble unless your newsletter has a real point of difference that can easily be perceived by your prospective buyer. The design and graphics of your newsletter, plus what you say and how you say it, will help in giving your newsletter this vital difference.

Be sure your newsletter works with the personality you're trying to build for it. Make sure it reflects the wants of your subscribers. Include your advertising promise within the heading, on the title page, and in the same words your advertising uses. And above all else, don't skimp on design or graphics!

The name of your newsletter should also help to set it apart form similar newsletters, and spell out its advertising promise. A good name reinforces your advertising. Choose a name that defines the direction and scope of your newsletter.

Opportunity Knocking, Money Making Magic, Extra Income Tip Sheet, and Mail Order Up Date are prime examples of this type of philosophy...as opposed to the Johnson Report, The Association Newsletter, or Clubhouse Confidential.

Try to make your newsletter's name memorable...one that flows automatically. Don't pick a name that's so vague it could apply to almost anything. The name should identify your newsletter and its subject quickly and positively.

Pricing your newsletter should be consistent with the image you're trying to build. If you're starting a "Me-too" newsletter, never price it above the competition. In most instances, the consumer associates higher prices with quality, so if you give your readers better quality information in an expensive looking package, don't hesitate to ask for a premium price. However, if your information is gathered from most of the other newsletters on the subject, you will do well to keep your prices in line with theirs.


One of the best selling points of a newsletter is in the degree of audience involvement instance, how much it talks about, and uses the names of its readers.

People like to see things written about themselves. They resort to all kinds of things to get their names in print, and they pay big money to read what's been written about them. You should understand this fact of human nature, and decide if and how you want to capitalize upon it-- then plan your newsletter accordingly.

Almost as important as names in your newsletter are pictures. The readers will generally accept a newsletter faster if the publisher's picture is presented or included as part of the newsletter. Whether you use pictures of the people, events, locations or products you write about is a policy decision; but the use of pictures will set your publication apart from the others and give it an individual image, which is precisely what you want.

The decision as to whether to carry paid advertising, and if so, how much, is another policy decision that should be made while your newsletter is still in the planning stages. Some purists feel that advertising corrupts the image of the newsletter and may influence editorial policy. Most people accept advertising as a part of everyday life, and don't care one way or the other.

Many newsletter publishers,faced with rising production costs, and viewing advertising as a means of offsetting those costs, welcome paid advertising. Generally the advertisers see the newsletter as a vehicle to captive audience, and well worth the costs.

The only problem with accepting advertising in your newsletter would appear to be that as your circulation grows, so will the number of advertisers, until you'll have to increase the size of your newsletter to accommodate the advertisers. At this point, the basic premise or philosophy of the newsletter often changes from news and practical information to one of an advertiser's showcase.

Promoting your newsletter, finding prospective buyers and converting these prospects into loyal subscribers, will be the most difficult task of your entire undertaking. It takes detailed planning, persistence and patience.

You'll need a sales letter. Check the sales letter you receive in the mail; analyze how these are written and pattern yours along the same lines. You'll find all of them---all those worthy of being called sales letters---following the same formula: Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action on the part of the reader---AIDA.

Jump right in at beginning and tell the reader how he's going to benefit from your newsletter, and keep emphasizing right on thru your "PS", the many and different benefits he'll gain from subscribing to your newsletter. Elaborate on your listing of benefits with examples of what you have, or you intend to include, in your newsletter.

Follow these examples with endorsements or testimonials from reviewers and satisfied subscribers. Make the recipient of your sales letter feel that you're offering him the answer to all his problems on the subject of your newsletter.

You have to make your prospect feel that "this is the insider's secret" to the success he wants. Present it to him as his own personal key to success, and then tell him how far behind his contemporaries he is going to be if he doesn't act upon your offer immediately.

Always include a "PS' in your sales letter. This should quickly restate to the reader that he can start enjoying the benefits of your newsletter by acting immediately, and very subtly suggesting that he may not get another chance to get the kind of "success help" you're offering him with this sales letter.

Don't worry about the length of your sales letter---most are four pages or more; however, it must flow logically and smoothly. Use short sentences, short paragraphs, indented paragraphs, and lots of sub-heads for the people who will be "scanning thru" your sales letter.

In addition to the sales letter, your promotion package should include a return reply order card or coupon. This can be either a self addresses business reply postcard, or a separate coupon, in which case you'll have to include a self-addressed return reply envelope. In every mailing piece you send out, always include one or the other; either a self-addressed business reply postcard or a self-addressed return reply envelope for the recipient to use to send your order form and his remittance back to you.

Your best response will come from a business reply postcard on which you allow your prospect to charge the subscription to his credit card, request that you bill him, or send his payment with the subscription start order.

For makeup of this subscription order card or coupon, simply start saving all the order cards and coupons you receive during the next month or so. Choose the one you like best, modify according to your needs, and have it typeset, pasted up and border fit.

Next, you'll need a Subscription Order Acknowledgment card or letter. This is simply a short note thanking your new subscriber for his order, and promising to keep him up to date with everything relating to the subject of your newsletter.

An acknowledgment letter, in an envelope, will cost more postage to mail than an simple postcard; however when you send the letter you have the opportunity to enclose additional material. A circular listing items available through you will produce additional orders.

Thus far, you've prepared the layout and copy for your newsletter. Go ahead and have a hundred copies printed, undated. You've written a sales letter and prepared a return reply subscription order card or coupon; go ahead and have a hundred of these printed, also undated, of course. You'll need letterhead mailing envelopes, and don't forget the return reply envelopes if you choose to use the coupons instead of the business reply postcard. Go ahead and have a thousand mailing envelopes printed. You also need subscription order acknowledgement cards or notes; have a hundred of these printed, and of course don't forget the imprinted reply envelopes if you're going along with the idea of using a note instead of a postcard. This will be a basic supply for "testing" your material so far.

Now you're ready for the big move... The Advertising Campaign.

Start by placing a small classified ad in one of your local newspaper. You should place your ad in an weekend or Sunday paper that will reach as many people as possible, and of course, do everything you can to keep your costs as low as possible. However, do not skimp on your advertising budget. To be successful--- to make as much money as is possible with your idea--- you'll have to reach as many people as you can afford, and as often as you can.

Over the years we have launched several hundred advertising campaigns. We always ran new ads for a minimum of three issues and kept close tabs on the returns. So long as the returns kept coming in, we continued running that ad in that publication, while adding a new publication to test for results. To our way of thinking, this is the best way to go, regardless of the product, to successfully multiply your customer list.

Move slowly. Start with a local, far-reaching and widely read paper, and with the profits or returns from that ad, go to the regional magazines, or one of the smaller national magazines, and continue plowing your returns into more advertising in different publications. By taking your time, and building your acceptance in this manner, you won't lose too much if one of your ads should prove to be a dud. Stay with the advertising. Do not abandon it in favor of direct mail. We would not recommend direct mail until you are well established, and your national classified advertising program is bringing in a healthy profit for you.

Do not become overly ambitious and go out on a limb with expensive full page advertising until you're very well established. When you do buy full page advertising, start with the smaller publications, and build from those results. Have patience keep close tabs on your costs per subscriber, and build from the profits of your advertising. Always test the advertising medium you want to use with a classified ad, and if it pulls well for you, go on to a larger display type ad.

Classified advertising is the least expensive way to go, so long as you use the "inquiry method". You can easily and quickly build your subscriber list with this type of advertisement.

We would not recommend any attempts to sell subscriptions, or any product from classified ads, or even from small display ads. There just isn't enough space to describe the product adequately, and seeing the cost of your item, many possible subscribers will not bother to inquire for the full story.

When you do expand your efforts into direct mail, go straight to a national list broker. You can find their names and addresses in the yellow pages section of your local telephone directory. Show the list broker your product and your mailing piece, and explain what type people you want to reach, and allow them to help you.

Once you've decided on a list to use, go slowly. Start with a sampling of 5,00 names. If the returns are favorable, go to 10,000 names, and then 15,000 and so on through the entire list.

Never rent the entire list based upon the returns from your first couple of samplings. The variables are just too many, and too complicated, and too conductive to your losing your shirt when you "roll out an entire list" based upon returns from a controlled sampling.

There are a number of other methods for finding new subscribers, which we'll explore for you here, detailing the good and the bad as we have researched them.

One method is that of contracting with what is known as a "cash field" agency. These are soliciting agencies who hire people to sell door-to-door and via the phone, almost always using a high pressure sales approach. The publishers usually makes only about 5% from each subscription sold by one of these agencies. That speaks for itself.

Then, there are several major catalog sales companies that sell subscriptions to school libraries, government agencies and large corporations. These people usually buy through these catalog sales companies rather than direct form the publisher. The publisher makes about 10% on each subscription sold for him by one of these agencies.

Co-Op Mailings are generally piggy-back mailings of your subscription offer along with numerous other business offers in the same envelope. Smaller mail order entrepreneurs do this under the name of Big Mail Offers. Coming into vogue now are the Postcard Mailers. You submit your offer on a business reply postcard; the packager then prints and mails your postcard in a package with 40 or 50 similar postcards via third class mail to a mailing list that could number 100,00 or more. You pay a premium price for this type of mailing---usually $1000 To $1500 per mailing, but the returns are very good and you keep all the incoming money.

Another form of co-op mailing is that where you supply a charge card company or department store with your subscription offer as a "statement mailing stuffer". Your offer goes out with the monthly statements; new subscriptions are returned to the mailer and billed to the customer's charge card. The publisher usually makes about 50% on each subscription. This is one of the most lucrative, but expensive methods of bringing in new customers.

Direct mail agencies such as Publishers Clearing House can be a very lucrative source of new subscriptions, in that they mail out more than 60 million pieces of mail each year, all of which are built around an opportunity for the recipient to win a gigantic cash sweepstakes. The only problem with this type of subscription agency is the very low percentage of the total subscription price the publisher receives from these subscriptions, plus the fact that the publishers are required to charge a lower subscription rate than they normally charge.

There are also several agencies that offer Introductory, Sample Copy and Trail Subscription offers, such as Select Information Exchange and Publishers Exchange. With this kind of agency, details about your publication are listed along with similar publications, in full page ads inviting the readers to send $10 or $20 for trail subscriptions to those of his choice. The publishers receive no money from these inquires list of names of people interested in receiving trail subscription. How the publisher follows up and is able to convert these into full term, and paying subscribers is entirely dependent upon his own efforts.

Most major newspapers will carry small, lightweight brochures or oversized reply cards as inserts in their Sunday papers. The publisher supplies the total number of inserts, pays the newspaper $20 per thousand for the number of newspapers he wants his order form carried in, and then retains all the money generated. But the high costs of printing the inserts, plus the $20 per thousand for distribution, make this an extremely costly method of obtaining new subscribers.

Schools, civic groups and other fun raising organizations work in about the same manner as the cash-field agencies. They supply the solicitor and the publisher gets 25% or less for each new subscription sold.


Attempting to sell subscriptions via radio or TV is very expensive and works better in generating sales at the news stands than new subscriptions. PI (Per Inquiry) sales is a very popular way of getting radio or TV exposure and advertising for your newsletter or other publication, but again, the number of sales brought in by the broadcast media is very small when compared with the number of times the "invitation commercial" has to be "aired" to elicit a response.

A new idea beginning to surface on the cable TV scene is "Product Shows". This is the kind of show where the originator of the product or his representative appears on TV and gives a complete sales presentation lasting from five minutes to fifteen minutes. Overall, these programs generally run between midnight and 2 AM, with the whole program a series of sales presentations for different products. They operate on the basis of the product owner paying a fee to appear and show his product, and also from an arrangement where the product owner pays a certain percentage from each sale generated from this exposure.

Newsletter publishers often run exchange publicity endorsements with non-competing publishers. Generally, these endorsements invite the reader of newsletter "A" to send for a sample copy of newsletter "B" for a look at what somebody else is doing that might be of especial help etc. This can be very good source of new subscriptions, and certainly the least expensive.

Last, but not least, is the enlistment of your own subscribers to send you names of people they think might be interested in receiving a sample copy of your publication. Some publishers ask their readers to pass along these names out of loyalty, while others offer a monetary incentive or a special bonus for names of people sent in who become subscribers.

By studying and understanding the information in this report, you should encounter fewer serious problems in launching your own successful specialized newsletter that will be the source of on going monetary rewards for you. However, there is an important point to remember about doing business by mail---particularly within the confines of selling information by mail---that is, Mail Order is ONLY another way of doing business. You have to learn all there is to know about this way of doing business, and then keep on learning, changing, observing and adapting to stay on top.

The best way of learning about and keeping up with this field of endeavor is by buying and reading books by the people who have succeeded in making money via the mails; by subscribing to several of the better periodic journals and aids to people in mail order, and by joining some of the mail order trade associations for a free exchange od ideas, advice and help.

3 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Web Site Promotion Marketing

By now you probably understand the importance of getting your own website. It's the command center of building and growing your online business. From capturing visitor contact information to promoting a multitude of products and services, it all starts with establishing your presence online.

Now all you have to do is get the word out and this is where it gets tricky. People are bombarded with so much information today that it becomes easier to tune out a large portion of it. This goes double for advertising, especially on the internet where you are constantly being prodded to buy this or that. The key is to have a plan of action. In this case focus on providing good quality content on your website. People want information and a break from the sales pitch. Providing useful content in your own voice can raise your internet profile considerably.

You are building something long term that will take time so be patient with yourself and your business. In the meantime there are free and cost effective internet web site promotion techniques you can implement right now.

1. Submit to Search Engines and Directories

Normally you only have to submit your website to the Big Three search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN. But there are tons of search engines you can use depending on how much time you want to spend doing this. To automate the process you can always find some free software or online service that will do the work for you.

Unfortunately this is not always the case as far as directories are concerned. There are literally thousands of directories online and most require you to submit your website manually. While this can be a painstaking process, the payoff is you get backlinks to your site (something the search engines love) and your web traffic grows in a more natural way (something the search engines also love). It takes awhile to do this but again you are building a business for the long term.

2. Deal or No Deal

It's hard to do business alone. That's why you should always be on the lookout for webmasters who are willing to reciprocal link or do a joint venture agreement. Make sure that what they are doing is related to your niche without being in direct competition with your web site. Do not trade links just for the sake of getting them. For instance there are websites that are focused on one topic but their link directory contains everything under the sun. Search engines do not look too kindly on this, so do a little research and target the webmasters that complement your business.

3. The Classifieds

There are many classified ad sites online but the two that have become virtual powerhouses are Craig's List and US Free Ads.

Craig's List has taken local classifieds across the country and forums of various topics and placed them all under one roof. Some marketers have used this very effectively to promote their business. As of late however Craig's List has been overshadowed by US Free Ads a classified directory that offers Google friendly pages, a free online html editor so you can place images and links in your ads and the potential to get a lot of traffic to your website. They also offer a premium membership which allows you to place unlimited ads, generate your own product catalog, link to your own shopping cart and much more. As of this writing the premium membership is only nine dollars a year. Definitely worth a look.

Getting your website noticed takes a lot of work. Start with one of the tips above; get it up and running then move to the next. Above all be persistent. Find what works, stick to it and very soon your audience will find you.

Internet Home Business Opportunities: Affiliate Marketing

If you already have a website, then affiliate marketing is the first internet home business opportunity you should think of , if you want to make money online. Affiliate marketing is becoming more and more a huge business part on the internet.

What is affiliate marketing?
According to Wikipedia affiliate marketing is a method of promoting web businesses (merchants/advertisers) in which an affiliate (publisher) is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber or customer, and/or sale provided through his/her efforts.

Based on this definition, the website owner or affiliate (publisher), uses their site for the promotion of the merchant's products by inserting link(s) to the merchant's website. When visitors visit a website and click on a link, which results in a purchase, the merchant will pay a commission to the affiliate. This is based on the pay-per-performance principle, so the merchant will pay the affiliate for every click on the link on the affiliate website which results in a sale.

Affiliate marketing has grown significantly on the internet due to enormous reductions of operating costs both for the merchant and the affiliate. It is a win-win situation for both sides, the merchant and the affiliate. There are many benefits for the merchant. The merchant does not need to pay the advertising costs which will be done by the affiliates-, these are a great part of the operating costs, normally. Due to the internet the advertised product or service will get the maximum exposure that it may not get with other traditional advertising techniques.

For the affiliate, there are also many benefits. It is very easy to make money online by inserting an ad or a link to the merchant's site. When visitors click a link on your website, which will be redirected to the merchant's website, and which results in sales, the merchant will pay a commission. These commissions could be between 30 and as much as 80%, depending on the types of products. Your task is primarily to refer customers to the merchant's website. The more referrals, the more profit you can get from the merchant.

Affiliate marketing is ideal to start an internet business working from home. Because the merchant will provide you with a product , which is tested and proven, there are no production costs involved. For most of the affiliate programs, it is free to sign up, so there are very little or no start-up costs. There are literally thousands of products on the internet, so it should be not a problem to find one or more products that suit the content of your site.

To start an internet home business with one or more affiliate programs, you don't need previous internet marketing or sale experience. A good affiliate program will provide you with internet marketing training and support. Many opportunities have a website with product information, sale and marketing materials to help you promote the products on your website. Very often there is also a help desk and a forum, where you can have questions or need help.

In conclusion, affiliate marketing is the first internet home business opportunity you should try when you have a website. It is easy to start, no start-up costs, and it is a great opportunity to increase your income. There is no risk involved and you can start the internet home business next to a full time job. It will take some time and efforts to learn the internet marketing techniques, before you will make some extra money online, but the earning potential is huge. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and most effective home business opportunities online today.

4 Money Making Ideas You can Use to Profit Online (Part 1)

You’ve probably heard this saying before – lather, rinse and repeat – and that’s exactly what you should do. When you find a way to make money that works for you, repeat the process over and over again in different niches and/or with different products.

These methods are not hard to do, but they will require some effort on your part, as does anything else.

With that said, let’s jump right in…

1. Answer a question
That almost sounds too simple, doesn’t it? Here’s what I mean…
Visit forums, Yahoo groups, MySpace or other social networking sites. Find out what kinds of questions people are asking or what kind of information they’re interested in.

Then write a report that answers their questions. Or put together a short web page with reviews of 3 or 4 different products that will answer their questions. (This way they’ll have a choice of which one to buy.) Of course, each product on the web page will contain your affiliate link.

No matter which method you choose, simply add a link to your sales letter or review page in your signature file at the forum or group. (Don’t blatantly advertise, though, because you don’t want to get banned for spamming.) Use an enticing line of text that links to your web page so people will be interested enough to click your link.

Here’s an example:
Let’s say the forum you visit has hundreds of people interested in learning how to make an “old fashioned” craft item of some sort, but they can’t find directions anywhere. The members continuously ask if anyone there has a pattern, so you can see that this is a “hot topic” at this forum and probably at others, too.

You happen to be an expert on making this particular item, or you know where you can find instructions for it, so you simply write a report detailing how to make it. Or you can do some research and locate an ebook (or a couple of them) that is exactly what the forum members are looking for, then create a quick web page reviewing the product(s), using your affiliate links so when they buy you get the commission.

Then take few hours daily to browse and post relevant content in the form of answers to members’ questions or by asking your own questions and posting comments. You’ll have the link to your web page in your signature file and if you use a line of text such as “Let Me Show You How to Make (name of craft item)” people will click your link and you’ll make sales.

2. Find a need for a service, then provide that service
You’ll make money selling the instructions for making that old fashioned craft item I used as an example in quick profit idea #1, but you can also take this a step further… why not locate groups of people who are NOT interested in making the item, but rather, in buying the item?

You’ll have to search out other forums or groups of people who buy antiques or crafts, but again, if you see that they’re asking for that item you’ll know you can have a hot seller.

Simply create the product, have someone create it for you or even find some at local garage sales; write your sales letter and then put your link in your signature file. Remember to use an enticing line of text to make people notice it and click the link.

Here’s an example:
Visit forums where Internet marketers hang out. You may be surprised by some of the questions people ask. For instance, many new marketers don’t know how to upload files to a server so they ask how to do it. Many don’t know how to edit html pages or create/update a website. If you’re good at any of those things, offer your services for a small fee. (Don’t forget to use a link in your signature so you’re not spamming the forum.) or… teach them how to do these things for a small fee!

And services like these aren’t just for new marketers who don’t know how to do them. Other people outsource many of these jobs, too, to save themselves time. You might be surprised at how much money you can make by doing small, odd jobs. Remember the old saying “it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.” People will pay someone to do jobs they dislike or don’t know how to do. You can be the Internet’s version of a “handyman.”

3. Write content for profits
With all the free information available on the Internet it might be hard to believe, but some websites will actually pay you for your content!

Do a search for “get paid for content” or “get paid to write articles” and other similar terms in Google and see what comes up. There are sites available that will pay you to write articles or other types of content such as “how to” do something.

Associated Content (http://www.associatedcontent.com) is one such site, but there are others, too. Just be sure to follow their guidelines for the content you submit to them. Some require that it be exclusive content, while others don’t. Some will require a minimum or maximum word length, while others don’t care how long or short it is.

Another idea in this category – write articles on numerous topics and sell them with Private Label Rights. You can target MANY markets this way…

“One size” doesn’t necessarily fit all here. Instead of targeting all marketers with your niche PLR articles, promote each niche’s articles to marketers in that niche by posting messages at forums within the niche market. You can also find webmasters in the niches you write articles for and contact them by email or phone and let them know you sell PLR articles that they might be interested in.

4. Create Your Own Products
Yea, I know… this is something many people are afraid of, but it’s easy if you purchase products with Private Label Rights and then edit them to make them your own.

Since Private Label Rights means you can edit the ebook and add your name as the author, that’s exactly what you need to do to make it your own product.

Simply use the original product as an outline, changing it as you wish, to add more content and personalize it to “sound” like you. Do research, if need be, to get more information on the topic so that you’re sure you’re giving solid information. Be sure you fix any spelling and grammatical errors, too, for a more polished and professional product.

But how do you pick a topic and where do you sell it? The same way I suggested in quick profit ideas #1 and #2 - forums and online groups are a good place to start. In addition to having your link in your signature file look around for potential joint venture partners, too. A quick email to a few of them offering a 50/50 or 60/40 split of any sales they make could bring you a lot of money.

Of course, if you have your own opt-in list then you can just offer it to them if you’d like. But don’t sell yourself short… visit forums and leave your link in your signature file and find website owners to do joint ventures with.
