Internet marketing is a BIG marketplace. There are many ways to make profits, many things to sell, and many individuals to deal with. If you do not have a definite marketing plan, you will be lost in it’s depths, and probably, will not find your way back on the track, resulting to the capsizing of your business.

Even formulating a definite internet marketing plan is also as huge as the marketplace itself. There are plenty of things to consider – create a website, how to develop your website, how to market your website, and so on.

Furthermore, it is on the website aspect alone. It does not include market movements, relationship with your clients, potential clients, and site visitors, and others. With so many considerations, what will you think of first and foremost?

This is where strategic internet marketing takes the action. It is used to define your potential market. Before you even plan to create a website and start your internet marketing business, you need to study your potential clients, evaluate the competition when you decide to cater to a particular market, and explore every existing opportunity for the success of your online business.

When you start without thinking a strategic internet marketing first, expect that you are on the track towards failure.

What is the concept that surrounds strategic internet marketing? It helps you define your business goals clearly and lets you set your objectives. With a concrete yet flexible plan to consider along your internet marketing business, you will be able to gear up a good start on your internet marketing career and proceed to success.

How will you start in your strategic internet marketing? There are 6 points that you need to consider. This will help you define your plan and what you must do to keep your online business afloat along the course of your online career.

1) You start by defining your target market.

There are certain questions that you need to answer to clearly define your target market.

What type of individuals will be your most valuable clients? What class of society they will come from? What age group they belong to? What are their discretionary incomes?

The answers that you will get out of these questions will help you define who you will cater to when you start your online business.

2) Strategic internet marketing is not just defining who your customers are.

You also need to figure out who your potential competitors are and their strengths and weaknesses in the market. From this, you will know how you will serve your potential market in way different from your competitors.

Give your potential clients a choice between you and your competitors.

3) Your online business is useless if your target market is not shopping on the Internet.

It is understood since there are individuals who are wary in making purchases over the web. Formulate payment alternatives and assure your potential clients that the transaction will flow smoothly and with utmost security.

4) Do you have a searchable product? Are the products considered to be a major click to your clients?

Although you will determine the marketability of your product when you already started your business, you can still determine its marketability based on other marketers offering similar product.

5) Do you have the ability of creating “a community of raving fans”?

Your online business must turn your clients into repeat buyers, which will provide you a continuous stream of income over the years. What are the possible ways of turning your clients into long-term product evangelizers?

6) Are you ready to take the criticisms that you may receive from your unsatisfied clients?

It is true that you cannot please everybody, thus you need to have a plan to compensate your unsatisfied clients. Are you willing to give out a “100%, unconditional money-back-guarantee” feature?

Getting your potential market through strategic internet marketing is just like joining an expedition of fish observers to track a particular fish specie. If you know how to look for them and where to look for them, you will find them easily.

Moreover, there are also internet buyers who are just waiting to be discovered by the right internet marketers. Do not just expect them to come looking for you. Be the one to look for them through a strategic internet marketing hunt.

Keep in mind that internet marketing is the “pot of gold” you are looking for, yet needs to be applied with effective strategies that will help you grab that pot of gold and enjoy its benefits in the long term.

I am about to shock you with a cold hard truth. Making money online is easy. And especially… making money from Clickbank is extremely easy – of course if you know how to do things right.

Keep reading, but first…

There was a LOT of product launches on this March, 2010 and the internet marketing people are already heating up. A full-range of money-making strategies have been released – some of you guys are aware of that.

From where I am sitting, the hottest money-making area seems to be Clickbank… at least, judging by the response I get so far.

Now, a quick story about an online money-maker who I met online a while back. This guy has taken Clickbank strategies to a whole new level. Not an easy task…

And what I like about his new product is the way he silently release it. To be honest, any new product launch announced with so many bells and whistles get me “sick”.

Paul Walker isn’t that type of guy. If you’ve never heard of Paul before, let me tell you: Paul’s truly the guy under the radar. But he made $782,940 as a Clickbank’s affiliate and publisher last year alone… all from FREE website traffic.

But Paul will be the last person to call himself a guru. A few years ago, he was flat broke! Frustrated making no red cents month after month. He was once in your shoes – no BS-ing you!

However, his life has completely changed since the day he discovered a cool system to make money with Clickbank, which now he calls as “Clickbank Cash Supreme“.

Paul’s course is ALL about Clickbank promotions. You’ll get the main CB Blueprint containing 73 pages, and over 15 videos with lots of details.

Walker explains everything in very gentle words, so if you haven’t been entailed in totally with internet marketing thing before, you’ll be surprised with this easy to follow blueprint.

With Clickbank Cash Supreme, you will get a complete picture about making money online business as an affiliate or as an information product publisher. And learn EXACTLY how to start from nothing and launch a successful six-figure online business in only a matter of days.

This system WORKS for everyone, because:

- You don’t have to have any previous marketing experience (or any technical skills at all!)

Clickbank Cash Supreme is a complete course that teaches you the best, the supreme and the fastest methods to make money online from Clickbank… with NO costs!

With this simple yet powerful effective system, it’s like you have someone looking over your shoulder, leading your steps, and hand-holding you down the quickest path to making your way to online success.

You see, it’s hard to convince me that any internet marketing course is actually good… and that the course deserve to be recommended to my valued readers. But Clickbank Cash Supreme really stands out.

If you haven’t yet grabbed your copy, here’s a sneak peak at what’s inside…

- How to sell someone else’s products and rake in your thousands of dollar paydays over and over.

- How to get a massive list of buyers who are eager to hand over you the money without effort!

- How to ‘Xray’ the thousands of ClickBank products to determine which ones will generate more profits and which will leave you
flat broke.

- How to find the next big things in the Clickbank marketplace.

- How to create squeeze pages that convert at 67% rate!

- How to humiliate the gurus with big lists by making more sales than them

- How to quickly see yourself among top 1% of Clickbank marketers!

- The Key To Bigger Success… autopilot income pouring into your pocket every month without lifting a finger!

- And much more…

Look, I know you’re CURIOUS about what these strategies are. I know I was. So grab your copy, and if you’re not 100% blown away at how dead-simple and super-profitable these techniques are, then use the guarantee.

You risk NOTHING by grabbing a copy. By NOT grabbing a copy, however, you can ensure yourself of continuing to work long and hard to make little or nothing from Clickbank!

Until next time,

Val

P.S. I know it can be hard to get motivated and start something new. I don’t know how much money you can make with Clickbank. For some, it might only be a few hundred dollars a week or a month.

For others, it could be that million dollar Paul talks about (because he was doing that!). For most of us, it’s no doubt somewhere in the middle.

But you’ll be hard pressed to find ANYTHING online that is as EASY and enjoyable as Clickbank Cash Supreme. And when you can make good money doing something you enjoy, that only takes a few hours a week… a person would have to be crazy not to say yes.

Get Clickbank Cash Supreme now before it’s price goes up to $147!

5. Steps to Publishing Success and Profits

2009 was a hard year for me and based on the things I learned I want to give you an input on how to make 2010 your best business year ever.

But first try to answer the following questions before continuing to read:

- Do you have an online business that you just completed making with all the links and key performing properly and have an affiliate program but you need to jump-start it with no cash for promotion?

- Do you want your goods or services in front of thousands of customers within hours without spending a single penny for the offer?

- Do you want to make more money WITHOUT your own products/services or mailing lists?

Joint venture is right for you if you answered “yes” to one of these questions. Joint ventures can give you FREE advertising and also targeted traffic.

Before getting eager, you should first know that joint ventures have advantages and disadvantages as it is with everything in life!

Firstly, you have to know what joint venture is. A joint venture is a collaboration or partnership by two or more companies for mutual gain, usually profit sharing. It’s that simple. You might ask what makes a joint venture very advantageous. Joint ventures allow you to use other people’s web assets, like targeted web traffic.

Another is that you can expand your credibility by joining up with different reputable, branded business.

With joint venture you can obtain new leads to customers, get discounts on products and services, save money on business management expenses, you can have an advantage over your competition, get referrals from other businesses, save lots of time and money on advertising, gain valuable skills and knowledge, safeguard your cash flow, get rid of extra inventory of your products. Also, by saving money, you can get out of debts much quicker.

With joint ventures, you can discover hidden income streams, trade unproductive products for money making ones to your partners, increase sales and profits, learn new information from experts for free, increase income by more affiliates wanting you to sign up for their company, you can offer your products at a much lower rate than that of your competitions.

This is why joint venture is a great method to jump-start your business, especially if you signed up as an affiliate.

What is the best joint venture partner?

The best joint venture partner would be newsletter owners and website owners that are related to your website product and services.

These are the advantages of a joint venture.

What about the disadvantages?

Well, the first one would be locating newsletter and website owners that are related to your product or services and getting them to accept your proposal.

This can be quite a task for someone who’s new to joint ventures. This is because the Internet is a very big place. And finding a newsletter or website owner can be difficult for a beginner.

This can also be difficult for someone who doesn’t spend much time in the Internet and only has an online business for making some extra bucks.

To find a responsive joint venture partners try to consider these following guides…

Since finding a joint venture can be difficult, you should do what most people do: use search engines, type in keywords that is relevant to the products or services you are selling.

After you typed in your search, you will get a list of results. Click on a link that you think would make a good potential joint venture partner. If it doesn’t accept your proposal then move on to the other sites.

Try to focus your search on the first two pages of the results, if you come up with no results, try using different keywords. If you see a potential joint venture partner, contact them by locating their contact information in their website (email address, phone number, fax, etcetera).

If you don’t find anything on your search results, you can find some potential joint venture partners in forums, newsletter directories, social networks and membership sites.

Write an article about your product and services and post them in article publishing websites, include a sentence that you are looking for joint venture partners. This way, a business will seek you out and not the other way around.

Once you find a business, email them about your joint venture proposal, tell the business owner the benefits of joint venturing with you.

Explain to the business owner why it would be a win-win situation for both of your business. Also, people like to be complimented, do this on their business, website, products, articles and others.

OK folks, this is for today. More tips on how to joint ventures in the next coming posts.

5. Boost Profits Using Nothing More Than Your Email List

Over the past years, website hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for website hosting has never been higher.

These seem to be the trend of today. And to think, majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.

This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right website host for your application. The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones will suffer (trust me, I know a few “dudes”! They suck my brain for the last two days… but I don’t want to give names).

Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a website host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the website host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.

Speaking about customer support, here’s an email I receive this morning just when I was writing this article:

**********

Dear Valeriu,

In May of 2007 you placed a ticket with SiteName.com about
affiliate payments due to you. We recently found your ticket and
realized that we never completed this.

We audited your affiliate account and found that we owe you $xxx
for payments that were made to your Paypal account before it was
created, that were subsequently returned.

We have just made a payment to your Paypal account YYY for $xxx.

Let us know if you have any further questions on this.

[First Name Customer Support]
SiteName.com

P.S. If you have additional comments/questions about this issue,
please don’t hesitate to reply to this ticket which will reopen
it. If you have another issue you would like to talk to us about,
please open a new ticket.

**********

Can you believe THIS??! It was more than two years ago… they found my email… and send me the money. To be totally honest, I completely forgot about this issue. Now this is what I call a superb company with EXCELLENT customers service. I give them 10 out of 10!

So always remember that when choosing a website host, choose the one that is known for its fantastic customer support. But don’t limit ONLY to this. Check my Everything You’ve Been Taught About Web Site Hosting Is All Dead Wrong — The Shocking Truth Is Finally Revealed! report and you’ll discover 14 critical elements of a reliable hosting service.

This business is a great opportunity for website hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There are hundreds of website hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.

How does one become a successful joint venture marketer in the niche markets using website hosting?

If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a website hosting services.

With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.

When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.

As competition is getting a bit bigger, you may need some ways to distinguish yourself from the rest of the online marketers. For the major reason that many of your competitors including you are promoting the exact same program, in the exact same zone or on the exact same websites perhaps.

Now here are some tips that you may consider in order for you to stay in this business and have the chance to outwit and outplay other competitors of yours.

The first thing is for you to have your own website. It is very essential for you to have your own website in considering JV marketing on website hosting. Secondly, potential customers primarily go to websites in order for them to search and sometimes purchase items they were looking for.

For the same reason that it is much easier to remember than a certain URL that you may be using and you can just point to your visitors the JV page in your website. Besides, having your own website nowadays is very cheap.

Another thing to remember is to have your own promo ads. A lot of times online marketers have published the same ad made by advertisers (hosting companies). In this case, you may email company asking to allow you make your own ads.

This way people may not become “immune” to ads, because sometimes seeing the same ads over and over again may just make your potential customers to just skip it all together. Besides, your primarily purpose is to attract or encourage people to click and read your ads and be curios enough to click through your website.

Step three, have some products of your own which are only available through your website. For example, you can have a special report about the good and bad things on website hosting.

Once you have your website going, it is very important to have some products/services that your customers can’t find with other affiliate’s site. You want your customers to keep coming to your site and the best way to do that is to have something on your site that they can’t find on others.

Being a hosting JV marketer, you must then choose a certain market segment where you can have a potential leadership or at least a strong challenger role!

The fourth step is to build a strong relationship with people who already buy your product/service. Now, in order for you as a joint venture marketer to fully answer the query of your potential customers, it is best to try and buy the hosting package you recommend for yourself. With this particular action you can better sell the hosting that you are trying to market.

You can share to your potential customers what a great experience you had with the hosting company, and this can make them interested enough to buy the package. You may also be able to provide a support if necessary or you may provide a confident tutorial or steps on how to use the hosting that you are trying to market based on your personal experience.

Entailing this idea is to be totally honest about the package that you are trying to market. If you find out that the hosting program you were promoting is a scam, stop promoting it and inform your readers about it. This will help you build credibility with your lists! We all make mistakes and admitting your mistake will boost your reader’s confidence in you.

A fair warning: don’t try to market everything you see. With so many offers on the market, it is easy to become overwhelmed and try to market everything, to everyone, on the same place (your website). That is not a good idea. It’s better to focus on one market, with “hungry” buyers and market a webhosting product that they would want. After all, that’s why we call it niche marketing.

Lastly, try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your website host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around: let them paying you!

The process can be as easy as putting a small “Powered by” or “Hosted by” link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business. Why choose paying for your for your website hosting when you do not have to? Try to get paid by letting people know you like your website host.

There are many hosting affiliate programs on the Net. Some are offering you a residual affiliate program. This is the program wherein you get paid a percentage every month for a customer that you refer. This can allow you to have a steady monthly source of income. With perseverance, you can even be quite successful in this field.

Want to know more ways to set apart from the crowd?

Consider offering coupons!

As customers, we’re more likely to return and do business with people who give us freebies (or coupons) and we’re more likely to tell other people about our positive experience.

The Law of Reciprocity states that “If you give someone something or do something for them – they will want to repay you, to give you something back“.

Why don’t you think of some little unexpected coupons you can offer your customers that’ll encourage them to accept your hosting offer and also tell others about their positive experience? And while we’re at it – why not try the same thing with members of your staff (if you have)?

A few hosting companies gives you coupon codes that entitled new customers to reduce prices for hosting. Why not offer an extra $20 if they buy from you? Let’s face it, if they will buy and the hosting is great, they will remain clients for many years.

Search customers offline!

Most of the internet marketers seem to think of website promotion as just submitting to search engines, directories, link building and advertising in ezines or banner exchanges.

It is a known fact that most people in the world use most of their time offline. They read newspapers, magazines, listen to radio and watch TV, talk with their friends, neighbors and family. Not all the time is spent surfing on the Internet. To ignore the value of offline marketing is to leave 65-70% of the money to be made from your websites on the table.

I am sure you can think of many ways to use offline marketing, other than sticking notes on lamp-posts to create an awareness of your hosting offer. Think about: your competitors are missing out on something… always! Dig around until you discover what it is, and get a corner on that market niche.

You can check out offline venues for free advertisement like local newspapers, television stations, radio stations and the like. Often times these mediums are looking for new local businesses to highlight in their business sections and/or discussions. This is free advertisement and something you should take advantage of immediately.

Use Web 2.0 social marketing strategies!

According to Courtney Holt, head of new media and strategic marketing at Interscope Records, “This generation is growing up without having ever watched programmed media. They don’t think in terms of the album, and they don’t think in terms of a TV schedule. They think in terms of TiVo, P2P, AOL, and of course MySpace“.

Let’s see how your business could grow…  you create an account on multiple social networks and start to talk about your product/service or hosting offer. You blog about it and search for others that may share your interests.

You then invite them to be your friend. When they become a friend you start your “soft sell” pitching your offer to them. As they grow to appreciate it, they start blogging and sharing it. If done correctly, soon hundreds or even thousand of people are talking about you.

Don’t think this will work? Let me give you an extreme example. There are many bands who have gotten their start on MySpace. Simply by hosting some of their music online and blogging about themselves they developed a following. Soon they had record deals and contracts lined up.

Of course to use services like MySpace you need to come up with something this target market needs. If you don’t, then you probably shouldn’t put too much effort into MySpace. But that doesn’t mean other social networking opportunities should be overlooked. LinkedIn is more of a professional introduction service. If your product or service fits here then by all means explore it further.

And there are others as well. Services such as Yahoo!s MyWeb, Flickr, Facebook, Delicious, Technorati, Twitter, StumbleUpon, and more… ALL can give your business a boost!

So if you’ve ever wondered what other online opportunities could be out there, consider social marketing.

It is the greatest online marketing channel of the moment.

But if you feel uncertain about social marketing, help is at hand. My book called “Web 2.0 Joint Venture Secrets EXPOSED” includes hundreds of practical, nitty-gritty tips, tricks and techniques.

You’ll discover things like:

* How to start your joint venture business right now
* The biggest and most profitable JV opportunities
* Write an email proposal that get read and responded to

Conclusion

There are a lot of niche markets out there just waiting for the right JV marketer to penetrate to them and make that dollars dream come true. Knowing which one to get into is being confident enough of your potentials and the good results you will be getting.

5. Ewen Chia, Internet Wealth and Your Marketing

It’s been quite some time since my last post here and even more since I host a guest writer. But I was really busy with my new product launch.

Anyway, here’s a great article…

Last night I had dinner with Joe Vitale and Pat O’brien.

Pat wrote “The Portable Empire” book published by Wiley Press. Joe has written 30 best sellers and, most recently, took his fame to another level by being featured in “The Secret.”

Joe’s one of those guys who could have an ego bigger than New York, but doesn’t. He’s one of brightest, most giving individuals you’ll meet. And puffs on a mean, Cuban cigar.

I won’t reveal his secret here.

But Joe has banged out 30 books and he literally can’t type! He hacks away at the keyboard. Joe turned his “cant’s” into “dones”. He didn’t let excuses stop him.

Pat used to be a blues musician. He toured Europe a lot and had a nice following.

But all that changed when he bartered guitar lessons with Joe Vitale in exchange for a ticket to his Spiritual Marketing seminar.

Pat got inspired.

In one weekend, he created his first product.

I tell people this all the time. Creating a product doesn’t need to take forever. 99% of creating a product is in your head. It’s in the decision to do it.

Pat sold more copies of his first product in a few days than he did CD’s all month long on his tours. And he could stay at home and not have the grind of travel.

So Pat got into this business.

Later, he penned his book Portable Empire that has been a big hit. He also holds “unseminar” seminars on marketing. Which are his own laid back version of seminars.

One of the things we did last night was brainstorm a new USP or big promise for Pat.

I explained to him that you can break sales letters down into direct and indirect leads or formulas, a tidbit I learned from Michael Masterson at awaionline.com.

Anyway, we figured a direct lead would be best for Pat. The two direct leads you use most often are problem/solution and big promise.

Neither Joe nor I really like or specialize in the problem/solution lead. So we use the big promise.

I reckon we spent 20 or 30 minutes noodling around, fishing for a big idea or promise for Pat’s product.

See, the concept of the portable empire is to create digital products and sell them over the Internet. But lots of people teach that. What I explained to Pat is that he needs to have a specific promise.

Then take that promise and carry it through his blog, boot tiles and everything else.

We finally came up with a pretty good idea for Pat.

So here you are.

If you’ve been following me, you’ve broken down your bills into daily amounts. You know you need to generate leads via ppc, seo or an affiliate program.

What’s all this talk ’bout Pat and Joe got to do with YOUR bills? Or what does it have to do with all this Twitter talk I’ve been dishin’ out?

TWITTER: This is how I reconnected with Pat and Joe. I’m met both a year ago at Pat’s UnSeminar. But we lost touch.

On Twitter, within a week, we reconnected. And that’s how we ended up doing dinner.

Here’s my video on Tweet Deck if you haven’t seen it yet!

BILLS: I told in the story above how Pat created his first product in a weekend. And he sold more of it in a few days than he normally did CDs in a whole month of touring as a blues musician.

What about YOU?

If an ex blues musician can create a product in a weekend, don’t you think YOU might be able to?

And if you DO that, now what kind of impact do you think that’d have on you paying your bills?

Let’s say you sell your product for $50. And you sell one a week. That’s a $200 bill erased.

Let’s say that you promote affiliate products to the people who buy your main product. That might be another $50 or $100 a month there. So you erase another bill or two.

And what happens if instead of selling 2 a week, you sell one a day.

If you convert 1% of visitors to buyers, to sell one a day, you need 100 visitors a day.

If you were on my Ateam call last week, you know how to use Twitter to get a lot more than 100 visitors a day.

If you follow the system for converting leads to sales in rows 4 and 5 of Promo Dashboard, you’ve got a good shot at turning 10% of your leads to sales.

That would mean you only need 10 or 20 visitors a day to get the sale a day.

Or, if you bid on keywords on Google that have LESS than 7 ads, you’ll get clicks for whatever the minimum bid is. With a great quality score, you can get clicks for a penny to a nickel. It’s possible. People do it. I won’t say getting a great QS on Google is easy.

It isn’t.

But it can be done if you focus on it.

At dinner last night, I told Joe I thought you could get good at about anything you put your mind to. He being big into the law of attraction and such agreed.

One of the things I noticed last night is that I kept bouncing around from idea to idea as I’m prone to do. Joe kept coming back to the point we were discussing.

Focus.

It’s why I created Ockham’s Razor. You can’t see, move and finish unless you focus. You can’t focus unless you simplify.

Once you simplify, you can document your systems and outsource to the Philippines as John Jonas teaches.

Or, if you only want to do the SEO Lies method, Justin Brooke can teach you how to outsource that.

Do you see how all this fits together? That’s why I call it Marlon’s Master Plan. It all fits together.

Need to pay your bills? How ’bout following the steps in Ockham’s Razor to start? How about using Product Dashboard to create your own product and Promo Dashboard to promote it?

Just a thought.

People say, “Marlon, I don’t have money. I can’t afford to buy what you’re selling.”

But the people who post to my blog who DO have money, all have their own products! They DO what I teach.

Watch that. Notice the difference in the blog posts between the people who HAVE money and the people who don’t.

You’ll find most of the “haves” have because they HAVE their own products. And that’s why they have.

Now, nothing wrong with building your list to start and promoting affiliate products. Nothing wrong with that at all. But eventually you wanna fall in the “have” category.

It’s interesting to see the number of people coming back to my blog saying, “Marlon, I strayed. I followed the bright shiny objects. I tried to take the easy route. But I’ve come back to your teachings and wish I’d never left.”

Read the blog. You’ll see those comments.

This is the straight and narrow path. It isn’t always the easiest. My Ateamers, my folks, they follow the path less taken. Let me hear YOUR feedback on my blog

These days, autoresponders are EXCELLENT follow-up tools. You can set them up to your liking, as they are easy to setup and will hold a lot of preset messages. Although they are very popular, a lot of people fail to see the power they hold and therefore never use them.

If you’ve been looking to make more PROFITS, the tips below will show you how you can EASILY make extra money using an autoresponder.

The first thing to do, is ensure that your site has a signup form. A signup form is an obvious way to use an autoresponder, yet a lot of people don’t think about it.

Each and every day your website attracts visitors, many of us come back. If you put a signup form on your site, they can signup and become a contact.

This way, your subscriber/customer base will grow with each passing day. You can stay in close contact with your people this way, and even increase your audience over time as well.

You can also give out free reports or ebooks as well. It’s actually an easy task to exchange reports or ebooks for someone’s email address.

Even though you may not have a website, you can still make the free report or ebook available by having people send blank emails to your autoresponder. In doing so, you will build a client list and get your report out there – which can help you make money.

You can also choose to publish an ezine. To do so, you’ll need to load your autoresponder will a course that contains several parts.

This way, your clients will receive your reports and material in sections. You can also build a customer base this way, and eventually recommend you to their family and friends. Once you have a relationship and your clients start to trust you, you can send them information for other products.

You can also use autoresponders as couriers as well. When you send an email out, ask the recipient to pass your email along to family and friends.

As they pass your emails along, you’ll gain more subscribers. Although you’ll have to start out small when you first begin, you’ll find that your client list will grow in little to no time at all.

Autoresponders are also great to use with customer response as well. Autoresponders are very handy, and they can answer a large portion of your technical questions.

Whenever someone sends you an email needing customer support, simply answer with an autoresponder message that entails a lot of the most common problems. A lot of customers find this to be very helpful, as chances are it will cover the issue they are experiencing.

Autoresponders are also handy with site updates as well. If you update your site on a regular basis, you may want to use an autoresponder with individuals who want to be informed when your site is updated. With an autoresponder, all you have to do is send out a broadcast email and everyone will be informed at the same time.

No matter how you look at it, an autoresponder can help you bring in MORE profits – as well as make your life a lot easier. They are easy to use, and will work great with your website.

If you operate several websites, you simply must have one of these. Once you use an autoresponder – you’ll never want to find yourself without one again. If you’re interested in finding out how easy they can make your life, all you need to do is give one a try.

Personally, I’ve been using AWeber (the BESt online autoresponder service) and Mailloop (the MOST advanced desktop autoresponder software) to handle my autoresponder, newsletter, and other email tasks.

As a matter of fact, I love my AWeber autoresponder… Heck, I try to capture your email using an AWeber popup right now!!

But, I have to admit, it does have one major flaw though…. In fact, all the autoresponders seem to have this “one flaw”!

Luckily, there is a quick plugin that might fix the flaw and triple it’s money sucking power.

Just watch this amazing short video…

This is a roadmap to success!

Jack Humphrey recently conducted a case study interview with Rusty Moore. Rusty is one of Jack’s members and needless to say he has taken the ball and hasn’t stopped running with it.

Rusty Moore has been with Jack since May 2007.

His site, FitnessBlackBook, gets around 3000 unique visitors per day. Just one of his pages makes him over $300 per month. Other pages and posts more or less than that.

He attributes his success to the training and examples he’s gotten with Jack, the people he’s met because of his powerful presence and following in the fitness niche, and the content he puts up on his blog.

In this short interview he outlines how he is doing with his blog, what has made the difference for him in building the blog, and his plans for future growth.

This is a must-hear interview for anyone wanting to generate free traffic using a blog!

Even if your best friend owns a top publishing company, giving you an immediate “in,” this does not guarantee publishing success.

First, you have to write a quality book that has a clear target audience. And your book must answer a common problem or need that audience shares. Then you have to develop a marketing plan, and stick to it for at least two years.

Let’s begin with the process that should commence before you write your first word. Begin by reading A LOT. Read both books you passionately love and books you can’t seem to make it past page five. Then figure out what the author did in the book you loved, and what was wrong with in the book you couldn’t finish.

Write down these points so they are crystal clear to you. Read other people’s books for inspiration and to discover what you should avoid as a writer.

The next step is to plan out your book. Narrow down your subject, and then divide it into chapters. Each chapter should address a specific aspect of the problem your book is going to solve. In each chapter, break the specific aspect down into several parts. 

This will help your readers take in you information a bit at a time instead of overwhelming them with every bit of information clogging up the pages until they feel like they’re about to go blind. It’s not quite spoon-feeding the information to your readers, but it’s close.

The next two steps are obvious. Write your book and then revise it. And then revise it again. And perhaps again. Of course, writing is extremely hard, and writing a book can seem like an impossible task.

There are many books out there that give you guidelines to help you become familiar – and even love – the process of writing and revision. Find a number of books about writing. Better yet, find a number of books about writing the specific type of book you aspire to write.

These can serve as roadmaps on your writing journey. 

Once you’ve written your ebook and revised it at least twice, show it to someone else whose opinion you respect. If you’re lucky enough to know a good editor, see if you have something to barter for him or her to go through your manuscript. Or join a writing group and let the other members critique your work.

Then take all these ideas from other people, and revise your manuscript one last time. And then stop! Put down that pen! Get your hands off the keyboard!

One of the most important steps to actually producing a book is to know when to stop writing and tinkering with it.

You’ve finally written your ebook! Pop open the bubbly! Give yourself a night out on the town!

Okay, now that this necessary celebration is out of your system, what do you do next?

How to turn your ebook into Profits

Ebooks are a revolutionary way to publish your bookwithout incurring the costs of print production. All you need is a relevant and targeted subject and some inexpensive software, and you can transform your manuscript into a book.

The problem, in terms of actually seeing any profits from your ebook, is that the market is overwhelmed with ebooks, and many of them are not worth the time it takes to download them. Just because the ability exists to easily produce an ebook, doesn’t make it good writing.

Make sure your book does not simply rehash old material. You will injure your credibility as an author by claiming to offer valuable new insights and disappointing your audience with material they’ve read a zillion times before.

So spend enough time writing and revising your book to make sure it’s of the highest quality and presents the most current information. A good book will eventually sell itself; false claims about your book will make it extremely difficult to sell any future books you may write.

Assuming you have determined that you do indeed have a quality product that answers some question or need of your target audience with NEW information, how do you know how much to charge for it?

Rule number 1: set a price for your book equal to its value. An under-priced book will only give the impression that your book isn’t worth very much.

To figure out a fair price, estimate how much time you put into creating it and how difficult it was to transform the necessary information into understandable and engaging writing. Figure out how much your time and effort is worth, and then price it accordingly. The goal is for you to be adequately compensated for your talent, your time, and your effort.

Once you’ve figured out a price that is high enough to convey the value of the book, but not so high as to be out of the reach of your target audience’s mean budget, then it’s time to offer it for sale on your website. To attract sales, you will need to develop a promotional campaign, particularly if you are an unknown author.

There are multitudes of books about self-promotion that will guide you in your efforts. Choose a plan that is both creative and professional. Learn how to write a catchy yet informative press release, and send copies of your ebook to sites that specialize in ebook reviews.

Learn how to write powerful sales copy, or hire someone to write it for you. This is an essential. You absolutely need excellent sales copy to sell your book. Make sure the copy includes all the reasons your target audience needs your book, and the benefits they will derive from buying it.

Use graphics in your promotional materials. Beautiful graphics have the power to instantly convey the quality and value of your ebook. Graphics can also convey the amount of valuable information the book contains, and your careful attention to detail. Professional graphics sell professional books. They reassure the customer that the product is what it claims to be.

Consider excerpting chapters for articles. You can offer these tidbits for free on your website as a sort of demo of your book. Include an order form for your ebook at the end of the excerpted articles.

Finally, when you set-up your download link, make sure to simplify the process. It’s a good idea to offer a few bonuses that make your book even more enticing to purchase, but make sure the bonuses are valuable and high quality. Too many bonuses that are basically a load of useless stuff will compromise the impression your audience has of your ebook.

The goal is to convey to your audience that they are getting a quality product for a good deal. That means applying restraint, especially when it comes to adding bonus items. Too much free stuff offered diminishes your credibility.

Make sure your book is a quality product. Make sure it is relevant and current. Develop an effective marketing plan that includes excellent sales copy and excerpted articles. Then offer your book for sale, and wait for your audience to discover you!

And if you want to be a pro-active marketer, let me ask you:

5. Make More Profits With Autoresponders (Part 1)

People always want to follow the latest thing, be it in fashion, sports, that kind of thing. Websites have become a necessity to almost everyone.

Companies, businesses, individuals, even young adults have created personal websites with their respective purposes, be it for profit, or for entertainment.

What one must consider, however, before creating a website, are the factors in which must be put to thought before doing so, such as the cost, maintenance, use, web host and so forth.

Firstly, associating with the cost, we must always try to find an affordable host, not spending too much, nor too little. A cheap host does not exactly symbolize a credible reliability rating, but we must always look for value for money deals.

Also, regarding the efficiency and server/web host reliability, there are many cases of web hosts not providing the service they had assured other people, some had even shut down and were nowhere to be seen.

Keep this note in mind, as if you would like a long-lasting website, this would be the first thing to look for.

Next, would hiring a professional be affordable? Is it the best option? For simple websites, we could always pick up the coding, or even use programs, as it is relatively simple.

However, when it comes to more complex coding, and when you want it to do a tad more than just providing information, hiring help in doing so would be the best way.

Not only in terms of design, but security is also a key factor in assuring a quality website. If the website also acts as a portal for businesses, security would definitely be the issue here.

So, having considered the things to do before building a website, do we actually NEED one? If creating one would boost sales or promote positive implications to oneself, then by all means, go ahead and do what’s best. Yet again, planning is the key to success, in everything we do.

To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the Internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your website or business in generating traffic.
