Do you have an under performing website? And it is okay if this is the case, believe me I have struggled with this problem all too often. I’ll let you in on a true secret about making money online. Are you ready? Here you go…
If you are willing to fail and learn from that failure you can go on to doing fantastic things online. And just like the title to this article states, I can show you how to find easy ways to make money. The trouble many people run into right away is becoming discouraged over their slow progress. My best advice to you is not to be in a rush. Study your mistakes, make small adjustments and try again.
While doing these adjustments be sure to keep good notes on what you do differently. You will do this in order to track your results. This is the only way to truly discover what is working and what isn’t. I wish I had a magic pill I could send you that would make you a pro marketer but I don’t. You are going to have to do the lions share yourself.
It is kind of like the dating process. You must make mental notes of what you did wrong on the date that turned the other person off. If you are married then you can relate to the fact eventually you got the dating ritual down pretty darn good. It’s the same with selling online. No tricks, no deceit just straight forward communication wins out every time.
In fact, the easiest way you will ever find to making money is to be straight with people. This way they no you can be trusted. Again, just like dating. This goes for business whether online or off, people are people. Keep that in mind and you will do well.
Another thing you can do while working to overcome your mistakes is to study websites of other marketers. Be darn sure though that these websites are making their owners money. Don’t waste your time on sites not performing well. It isn’t hard to find these sites either, start with the recognizable names of both marketers and well known websites.
Compare these sites to one another and look for the similarities. You will notice quite a bit of hype on many sites. Particularly in the “make money” circles. I don’t recommend studying hype but for discovering the triggers which make people buy. Once you have found these triggers give them a test with your own sites. Incorporate them into you design and sales copy. Be sure to do this slowly making just one change at time. You want to be able to easily discover if the changes that work. That is, makes more money. If some change actually makes your site less productive waste no time in changing back to your original design.
This isn’t rocket science by any stretch of the imagination. You can be successful finding these easy ways to make money with your website. It’s work but well worth the efforts. Another bit of advice as I end this article, find one person to follow. That is, don’t listen to the masses, ever. Trust me when I tell you they do not know what the are talking about. Find an expert, emulate their success by using of theirs which works for you.

Make Money, Online Business
Make money, online business. Hardly anyone likes their crappy day jobs. I bet you hate yours! If you randomly ask 500 ordinary people how they feel about their jobs, you would maybe get one or two who say they love it. Now go and ask 500 internet marketers the same question and almost all of them would love what they do for a living. The reason is because they make money with their own online business. If you think about it, how could you hate sitting at your home computer making money as the owner of an online business?!
In my case, this blog was created for that very purpose. I love to make money and doing it from my online business makes it even more enjoyable for me.
But there’s no point in showing people how to go about achieving success, when they are too blind to see get the message when it’s staring right at them. That’s why we have the horrible statistic of only 5% of all online business people are actually able to make money and a whopping 95% fail to make it.
Those aren’t made up numbers, they are facts! You can go ask huge internet marketers like John Reese or Willie Crawford if you don’t want to take my word for it. But I guess if you don’t believe what I tell you, why are you wasting your time reading this?
Well, if you are still reading this after that last sentence then I am going to assume you are one of the few who really do want to have a successful make money online business, so I will keep going for you.
There is one highly successful internet marketer who you have probably heard of. He’s called, “The Rick Jerk” and he is a very well-known success story in the online business world. He makes a lot of money online and he is certainly one of the most arrogant marketers in the world. But he can be because he does exactly what we all aspire to do: make money, online business. The Rich Jerk is not shy about telling us that he is a winner and we are losers. How can he get away with that?
Because he knows for a fact that he is almost 100% correct!
The Rich Jerk is an online winner and he is simply telling us flat out that 95% of us are losers. For him, that makes plenty of people angry enough to find out what he does to make money, which means they will buy his stuff and he will make money from them! He also gets a lot of people talking about him, usually in a negative way, but it still brings in a lot of traffic to his website, which brings in even more sales and money. It’s a perfect cycle for him.
Then you have people like John Chow who makes more money in a month from one blog than most of us will ever make. His online business blog is supposed to teach people how to make money online. However, he gets slammed on a daily basis for just about everything under the sun and one of them is that he rarely actually teaches anything about making money online.
Do you think he cares? No! He rarely even responds to the criticism and you never see him arguing back. The reason for that is because he makes money. Why should he care about what everyone is saying about him when he is the one laughing all the way to the bank?
So why do so many people fail in their make money, online business ventures?
One of the biggest reasons is that they listen to all the hype about making money in online business and believe that all they have to do is sign up for a program or buy some ebook, then sit back and watch the money pour into their bank accounts. When that doesn’t happen they quit and go tell everyone how they got scammed. They fail to realize that making money has never been easy. Just because you have an online business that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do anything. It’s still a business and you won’t make money unless you work at it.
Another reason so many people fail is simply that they give up. Most people decide they want to start an online business to make money and when they haven’t gotten rich in the first month, or even the first year, they give up. When you quit, you fail. The fact is that many of these same people would have gone on to build very successful online businesses and would be making much more money than they do right now if they wouldn’t have given up so easily.
I’ll tell you the honest truth right now if you are willing to listen… It is NOT easy to make money on the internet. In fact, it’s not even close to being easy. If you want to make easy money then don’t start an online business, instead go get another job. But it is very much possible to make money online if you are willing to put in the time and work, and are open to learning a few things.
One of the first and most important things you need to learn is that without traffic your online business is dead. Traffic is vital and search engines are your best friend when it comes to getting traffic. You can spend every minute of your life creating the best blog or website in the world but you won’t make money unless people visit your site and make a purchase, click on an ad, or do whatever else you need them to do in order to make money.
They won’t do anything that makes you money if they can’t find you in the first place!
So why did I say search engines are your best friends?
Because I know first hand that search engine traffic is the best kind of traffic if you really want your online business to make money. I have blogs with lots of regular readers and they get hundreds of visitors per day but they are not from search engines, so I don’t make squat from those blogs. I have other blogs with hardly any regular readers but plenty of traffic from search engines and they are where most of my money is made.
Same with my non-blog websites. I only make money from my online business websites that get a lot of search engine traffic. The other sites don’t make crap even if they do have a high amount of traffic from other sources.
The sites with all the regular readers contain tons of quality, unique content that I have been building up for years. Within those pages you can find everything you could ever want to know about make money, online business. Yet if they were my only internet income sources I would be one of the 95% of internet marketers who never make money online.
That’s right, all the information those blogs contain is all you would ever need to become a successful internet marketer with a make money online business. But blogs with a huge following of regular readers and lots of quality content are not the blogs that actually make money. Sure there are a few A-list bloggers who easily make money from their blogs through paid advertising and paid reviews. But most blogs of this kind are a lesson on how NOT to easy make money online. You have to word hard at it everyday, build up a huge following of regular readers, always be on the cutting edge of the internet marketing world, never take a break, etc… It’s not easy money!
This is the way it really works…
To make money, online business and actually find a way to easy make money, you need to look at the entire process from a different perspective. Yeah, you can still have your reader friendly blogs where you build up an army of followers while making a bunch of blogging friends along. That’s wonderful. But you also need to massively diversify your online business portfolio and set up blogs that are purely to make money, because I can almost guarantee you that your “reader friendly” blogs will not.
At this point you might be asking yourself why a reader friendly blog with a bunch of followers won’t make money.
Here is the answer…
When you create a blog that you want to make money from then you will have ads, affiliate links, or something else for them to click on that you earn money from based on their actions. If you write great content on a frequent basis and people are learning a lot from your posts or enjoy reading them for whatever reason, they will probably come back to your blog again and again to read your posts. If you are answering everything for them they have no reason to click on your ads to find the information elsewhere.
If you plan to make easy money from people clicking on your ads, you need to give them a good reason to click. One of the best ways to do this is to write your posts around what your visitors are looking for but don’t actually specifically answer any of their questions them. I know that sounds stupid and might upset your visitors, but you are not doing it to make friends, you are doing it to make money. Would you rather have a lot of happy readers or would you like to make money, online business?
One more good way to get visitors to click away on your ads is to have a blog design that is very unappealing to look at. If they can’t stand to look at your blog then they won’t stick around too long. In order to get out of there and find the information they want from another site, they will most likely click your ads. When they do that you will make money!
Another big reason regular readers will not click on your ads is because they see them all the time. If they come to your online business blog frequently to read your posts then they see the ads every time. It gets to the point where they don’t even notice them anymore so they certainly aren’t going to click on them. That’s not good for your make money online business.
If you really want to make money, then you have to separate your friends from your online business. You can’t try to make everyone happy all the time or you will go broke and have to stay at your day job for the rest of your life. If you are blogging for friends while trying to make money at the same time, you will quickly join the large percentage of online failures.
As I said earlier in this post, you need to attract highly targeted traffic from search engines.
And the main search engine that you want to get that traffic from is Google. That’s because Google is the top dog of all search engines. More people use them than all the other search engines combined. Their popularity brings in the most traffic, which turns into more people who will be searching for something and if your site is at the top of Google for that search then you will get many more targeted visitors.
Someone searches for make money online business because they want to know how to make money with an online business and they want to read how to do it on a website that Google will find for them. When they type in the keywords Google presents them with a bunch of pages full of websites that are relevant to their search term, make money online business. By the way, if you think that make money online business is a strange search you shouldn’t because it is searched for thousands of times every month.
When the listings come up they will probably click on the first site (or any of the sites on the first page of results) on the list and see what it’s all about. If they find what they are looking for they will close the site and go on with their happy lives. But if they don’t find it, they will probably click on an ad that promises to show them how to make money online and leave through that. And that, my friend, is how that website makes money! This is exactly the point I am trying to get you to understand. When thousands of people visit that site every month and even a small percentage of them click the ads, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that site owner is earning a nice income from their ads.
So what you want to do is get on the first page of Google results and get your share of those earnings!
The only way to do that is to show them that your site is a top authority on that keyword phrase. I encourage you to stay away from the make money online niche because it is way too competitive and almost impossible to break into the top of the search results. So if you are in a niche outside of the make money niche then keyword research is very important so you can quickly rank at the top of the search engines (mainly Google) and start bringing in some good profits.
Google only wants to return relevant sites in its searches so you have to have a lot of specific content on your website that is relevant to the keywords you want to rank for so they will find that your site is one of the best options to show in the results. Like I said earlier you want to give away as much of the information as you need to in order to get the search engine rankings, but not enough to satisfy the reader to the point where they won’t click on your ads. That’s how you make money from your content!
When you write really long posts you can repeat your keywords numerous times throughout the post without having to actually stuff them in there. This will help a lot with increasing your search engine rankings for those keywords. This also helps to make sure you only keep a few hardcore readers all the way to the end where they actually find the good make money, online business secrets and all the impatient readers will give up early in the post and click one of your ads to get out of there. Which will make easy money for you!
So you now know that having tons of relevant content with a bunch of keywords sprinkled throughout each article is part of the equation for getting high rankings in Google, but that is not all you have to do. For some really small niches that might work but for the bigger ones like make money, online business or any other more competitive niches you need to do more.
One of the best ways to get to the top of Google is by getting lots of keyword rich inbound links to your website. The ultimate inbound links are those that are from quality, high ranking sites that are closely related to yours. When it comes to back links the more relevant, the better. When the link comes from an unrelated or low quality site then the link juice you get from it is not worth nearly as much.
For this particular site, I need lots of sites related to online business, make money online, home business, and work at home to link to me. I would want the anchor text to be either make money, online business or something very close.
Also when you have more than one site in the same or similar niches, you can help yourself out by giving your other sites some keyword rich text links. In fact, I am going to do that for another one of my online business websites right now because I want it to rank for the keyword phrase make money online.
Basically if I were to sum up this entire post into a few brief sentences I would tell you that it is not easy to make money online. And the thing about make money, online business pretty much comes down to getting to the first page of the Google search results so you can get targeted traffic. Then in order to actually make money from that traffic you want to be sure not to give them all the online business information they are looking for or they won’t click on your ads to make you easy money.
That’s it for this make money online business post.

Internet Marketing Trends in Advertising
I’ve always heard the phrase “jumping on the bandwagon” and sometimes wondered why they called it that. So, I decided to look it up and it seems that back in the 19th century, there were bandwagons that were used in the pre-circus parades. The members of the circus would ride on these colorful bandwagons and as they passed by, spectators would notice and join the procession. The circus promoters hoped that this would encourage the followers to actually become paying spectators of the circus itself. That is how the phrase jumping on the bandwagon got started.
What does this have to do with internet marketing trends in advertising? Pretty much everything! See, any time an internet marketer finds or creates a new form online advertising everybody and their dog jumps on the bandwagon and uses that method of advertising to promote their products or services. It doesn’t matter if the method has been tested and proven to work or not. As soon as one internet marketer sees another one using it, the bandwagon jumping begins because nobody wants to be left out of the “it crowd.”
So, what have been the top internet marketing trends for online advertising lately?
Probably the most widely used method of advertising is, and will probably be for a long time, Google Adwords. This is a relatively inexpensive and effective form of internet marketing that precisely targets the people who you want to reach. That is of course assuming that you set your Adwords campaign up properly. Many have gone broke because of poor keyword selection, poor choice of bid amounts and just plain awfully worded ads. Google Adwords is by no means a sure thing if you don’t know what to do with it.
Another form of marketing that created a huge buzz recently is Butterfly Marketing. This is basically just another form of viral marketing where a friend tells another friend and so on. It’s word of mouth with a few twists to it. Many Butterfly Marketing sites have shown incredible success, again if you set them up correctly.
Another marketing trend that has taken the internet marketing world by storm is Bum Marketing. This is basically the practice of writing articles after doing careful keyword research on the topic of your choice, and then submitting those articles to article directories. The key is to make sure you have a resource box that contains a way for people to get more information through your website. It’s actually very effective.
And let’s not forget about social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook, or social bookmarking sites like Digg and Technorati. These are all the craze right now. In fact, they are being used so much as an advertising method by internet marketers that it’s getting to the point where some of the sites quality has declined drastically. They can be a great marketing tool but they can also be ruined by marketers.
Of course aside from the “new wave” of marketing trends, there are still the tried and true methods like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), E-zine Ads and a few other things that have worked since I can remember. The thing about trends is that many of them are really just reworked ideas of old methods. The ones that aren’t, usually don’t last very long because when all is said and done, the most effective forms of marketing have probably already been invented.
So, if you’re looking for a tied and true advertising method in the internet marketing world, you may not have to look any farther than optimizing your website for the search engines and taking out a few good solo ads in the better E-zines. Of course writing and submitting an article every now and then can’t hurt.
Internet marketing trends come and go but the tested and proven advertising methods will never die!
What does this have to do with internet marketing trends in advertising? Pretty much everything! See, any time an internet marketer finds or creates a new form online advertising everybody and their dog jumps on the bandwagon and uses that method of advertising to promote their products or services. It doesn’t matter if the method has been tested and proven to work or not. As soon as one internet marketer sees another one using it, the bandwagon jumping begins because nobody wants to be left out of the “it crowd.”
So, what have been the top internet marketing trends for online advertising lately?
Probably the most widely used method of advertising is, and will probably be for a long time, Google Adwords. This is a relatively inexpensive and effective form of internet marketing that precisely targets the people who you want to reach. That is of course assuming that you set your Adwords campaign up properly. Many have gone broke because of poor keyword selection, poor choice of bid amounts and just plain awfully worded ads. Google Adwords is by no means a sure thing if you don’t know what to do with it.
Another form of marketing that created a huge buzz recently is Butterfly Marketing. This is basically just another form of viral marketing where a friend tells another friend and so on. It’s word of mouth with a few twists to it. Many Butterfly Marketing sites have shown incredible success, again if you set them up correctly.
Another marketing trend that has taken the internet marketing world by storm is Bum Marketing. This is basically the practice of writing articles after doing careful keyword research on the topic of your choice, and then submitting those articles to article directories. The key is to make sure you have a resource box that contains a way for people to get more information through your website. It’s actually very effective.
And let’s not forget about social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook, or social bookmarking sites like Digg and Technorati. These are all the craze right now. In fact, they are being used so much as an advertising method by internet marketers that it’s getting to the point where some of the sites quality has declined drastically. They can be a great marketing tool but they can also be ruined by marketers.
Of course aside from the “new wave” of marketing trends, there are still the tried and true methods like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), E-zine Ads and a few other things that have worked since I can remember. The thing about trends is that many of them are really just reworked ideas of old methods. The ones that aren’t, usually don’t last very long because when all is said and done, the most effective forms of marketing have probably already been invented.
So, if you’re looking for a tied and true advertising method in the internet marketing world, you may not have to look any farther than optimizing your website for the search engines and taking out a few good solo ads in the better E-zines. Of course writing and submitting an article every now and then can’t hurt.
Internet marketing trends come and go but the tested and proven advertising methods will never die!

If Content Is King, Demand Is Emperor!
If you have an online business or do anything dealing with internet marketing then you have heard the saying, “Content Is King.” Basically this means whoever produces the most content on a certain topic will make the most money online.
When you see all the people out there who are constantly writing content or finding places where they can get content written for them cheaply, you would tend to believe that this statement is definitely true. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not minimizing how important content is, but you know what? I am not stupid enough to believe that content is all that you need to make money online.
You see, while content may be leader of one kingdom, demand is the ruler of an entire empire. That’s why if content is king then demand is emperor! To make money online you need both of these monarchs.
There are economic laws of supply and demand, and as you can see demand is one half of the equation. If you’ve never taken a course in economics, then here’s brief little explanation to help you understand the concept…
Supply and demand is a really basic economic concept. But in order to really make it as easy as possible for you to understand, I’m going to give you an example of how powerful supply and demand really is. This will help you understand it much better than a long and boring explanation.
Let’s say John Smith has a widget, but he only has one widget. It turns out that this widget will earn anyone who owns it $100,000 per year. Everybody wants this widget. But there is only one. So John Smith decides to put it up for bidding at an auction. The bidding goes out of control. People are bidding this widget up to $500,000 because they realize that they can use this widget for many years, so paying $500,000 for it now will be more than worth it.
Suddenly, in the middle of the bidding war, Jim Jones comes out with an almost identical widget but has 1000 of them available. He sees the current bid for John’s is $500,000 so he decides to sell his widgets for $250,000 each. Well guess what? All of a sudden, John Smith’s widget isn’t as much in demand because there are 1000 other widgets that are just as good and for a lot cheaper.
So the demand for John Smith’s widget goes down. Now he has two choices… He can stick to his guns and try to still sell the widget for $500,000 by somehow convincing buyers that his is better, or he can lower his price and try to undercut the competition. But the problem is he knows that if he just uses his widget for a year he’ll make at least $100,000 so he can’t lower it too much or he won’t really be making any money and he could even end up losing money.
So now you see, if the supply is high and the demand is low, then you won’t be able to sell the item for as high a price as if the supply were low and the demand were high. However, even if the supply is high, if the demand is still high, you can still sell at a fairly high price. You may not be able to sell it at as high of a price if the supply is low, but still, demand is that powerful.
The point I am trying to make is this; if you put out tons of content to promote an item, but there is no demand for that item, or very little demand, you won’t be able to sell it for much and you probably won’t make very many sales to begin with. Therefore, you will not make money and your online business will fail.
Now you know that all the content in the world can’t overcome a low demand. This holds especially true if you wanted to sell your content. It doesn’t matter if you only wrote a few articles on a subject or many articles. If there is no demand for what you are selling, you’d be lucky to be able to give those articles away, let alone make money from them.
So when it comes to online business content may be king, but demand is the emperor!

What Is The "X" Factor In Business?
I’m willing to bet you have heard the phrase before. Something like, “You need to find the X factor that will take your business to the next level,” or maybe it was, “We have an X factor that makes our business opportunity better than any other of its kind,” or it could have been, “Such and such internet marketer has that X factor that makes him so successful.”
Whatever the exact phrase was isn’t really important. What I am trying to get at here is that we have all hear of this mysterious “X factor” that will take our businesses to the next level.
We hear so much about this X factor, but if you were to stop somebody on the street and ask them what the X factor is, they wouldn’t have a clue. They’d make something up or just stand there with an empty look on their face not knowing what to say.
Some people say that the X factor is what that person or business does best. But can’t that just be called a skill we all have? For example, if a company said that their X factor was that they wrote fantastic sales copy, we could say that isn’t something so unusual. Tons of people write spectacular sales copy. So, how is this an X factor? Isn’t that just somebody who writes excellent sales copy?
After racking my brain for hours to find an answer to this question, without reading a bunch of philosophy books to get interpretation of what the X factor is, I decided that ultimately the X factor is something that you really can’t pinpoint, yet you know it exists.
Let me give you a few examples of what I see as the X factor…
You walk into a room filled with gorgeous women. There isn’t an ugly one to be found. Each one could easily win a top beauty pageant. But there is one woman you see who has an aura surrounding her. You can’t quite describe it. You just feel it. She stands out, even if she is not the best looking of them all. It’s the way she carries herself. It’s the confidence she displays without coming off as arrogant. She doesn’t seem unapproachable like some of the others. There’s almost a down to earth quality about her. She has the X factor that separates her from the others.
Here’s another example, you walk into a room full of businessmen. All of them earn at least $1,000,000 per year. They’re all at the top of their profession. They all dress for success and all look the part, right from their hairstyle down to the shine on their shoes. And then into the room walks Donald Trump. All of a sudden, all these very successful men look quite small in comparison. They seem like a bunch of nobody’s. The presence of Mr. Trump is just something that nobody else has… The X factor!
To me, the above examples are what I call the “true” X factor. The reason it IS an X factor is because you really DON’T know what it is. That’s what truly separates the very exceptional people and opportunities in the world.
How does this apply to an internet marketing business? Lots of people are trying to find that elusive X factor to take their online business to the top, but never find it. What’s even worse is that they never will. It’s not something you can just find. It’s something that you know is there. You can feel it. When you hook up with a company or internet marketer that has that X factor you just know it. It’s a feeling that you can’t describe.
So the next time you sit down and try to figure out what your businesses X factor is, don’t beat your brains out looking for an answer. You will know when it comes to you!

Making Money Online Isn’t All That Difficult
Everyone in the world wants to make money. How else are you going to live? And the easier it is to get that money, the better!
I have been making money online for years. I’ve built home business websites that make me a lot of money each year, and I never have a problem building a large network marketing downline. Basically what I am trying to say is that my online home business is very profitable and I pretty much write my own checks.
However, I am not telling you this to boost my own ego. Exactly the opposite really. It wasn’t easy getting to where I am now, not even close, and I wouldn’t wish the path I had to take on my worst enemy. I want you to know that I endured years of failures, scams, schemes, and losses before I ever got to where I am now. But I made it. And you can too! That’s why you should listen to what I am about to tell you…
I started my online business years ago when there weren’t nearly as many money making systems and home business programs available. In fact, there were hardly any at that time. I hear people complaining all the time about how hard it is to make money online these days. But the reality is that this is the easiest time I have ever seen for people to start an online home business. Believe it or not, but you have it easy!
Quite honestly I get asked to review and promote numerous programs, websites, products, and services on a weekly basis. To date I would guess I have had at least 1000 legitimate requests from people to take a look at their businesses and thousands more from everybody and their dog.
So many things come across my desk each day that it is impossible for me to look at everything and those that I do check out rarely ever live up to my high standards. But every so often something does. Even when they do I still don’t have the time to recommend them. I only recommend a money making product or service if it is of the highest quality and there is nothing else like it on the internet.
One of the best programs I have ever seen for starting an online home business and making money online is the SFI (Strong Future International). Just looking at the name will tell you all you really need to know. This program is loaded with true, legitimate, and honest ways to make money online. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this program.
The SFI program does work and as soon as I looked at it I knew it was a diamond in the rough. I am not going to write another 15,000 words explaining to you how great the SFI program is or what is contained in it. I think the website tells you everything you need to know.
I will tell that what the author says is true and his program will work. If you follow it you will make money. There is no doubt about that!
Oh and just to ease your mind a little more, I will assure you that the creator of the SFI program, Gerry Carson, is one of the most honest, knowledgeable, sincere, and helpful internet marketers you will ever come across. I have worked with him on many projects over the years and all I can say is that he is amazing.
My highest recommendation goes to the SFI Program.

Seven Internet Marketing Options for Your Online Home Business
If you own an online home business then you definitely need to know the most effective internet marketing and promotion options. Below I have outlined seven of the most popular and effective methods of promoting, marketing, and advertising your online home business.
1. Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising
This is one of the most popular and highly effective forms of online business advertising. Basically you pay for rankings on the keywords your target market is searching for. The cost depends on how popular the keyword is and how many people are bidding on it. The more you pay, the higher your ad will appear. Then, when someone searches for any of those keywords, your ad will appear in the results. However, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. No matter how many times your ad is displayed, you only pay when someone actually clicks on it. This advertising method works very well because you get a targeted visitor on almost every click.
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Optimizing your website for high search engine rankings is the most cost effective method of advertising your online home business and it’s also the most long term. But it also takes the longest to get any results, and is never guaranteed. Many people are afraid of SEO because they have heard how difficult it can be. However, it’s not as hard to do as it sounds. It mainly involves getting a lot of quality inbound links, continually updating with relevant content, and effective use of keywords. That’s really all there is to it.
3. Article Marketing
Becoming an “authority” on a subject is one of the best ways to market online. When you are recognized as someone with specialized knowledge and expertise on a subject, you quickly become the person everyone turns to. Most people are searching for information rather than for specific products and services. So, one of the best ways to market your online home business is to publish informational material and become an authority on the subject by doing so.Writing and submitting articles (article marketing) to online article directories and related websites is one of the best ways to do this. Plus, you get inbound links from each article which will help with your SEO discussed above.
4. Online Forums
Forums are an incredible way to build a strong reputation for yourself by helping others and freely giving your knowledge to the world. Find active forums in your online home business niche and start participating in them regularly. It doesn’t take a lot of time, just a few moments to read something another person wrote and comment briefly on it. Enough for them to know that you paid attention to what they wrote and that it inspired a thought in you that you’d like to share. Don’t make the mistake of clogging online forums with advertising though. That’s the quickest way to get banned and ruin your reputation. Instead, you should write meaningful and helpful posts that actually contribute legitimate knowledge. The more you help, the more it comes back to you in a positive way!
5. Blogging
Blogs are great online business marketing tool for many reasons. One of the big benefits of blogs is that they’re frequently update so the search engines love them and so do readers. They can build up a loyal following fairly quickly. Another great benefit of blogging is that people can subscribe to your blog and receive your updated postings in their email inbox, on their own website, or as an RSS feed. Blogs can really bring in some considerable traffic and are a super online money making resource.
6. Running Your Own Affiliate Program
Creating an affiliate program for your product or service is an amazing way to leverage the resources of many people to sell more products and make more money. An army of affiliates can quickly and easily grow your online home business much faster than you could ever do yourself. All you have to do is give them a percentage of the profits and you will have many people helping you build your business. Two of the best affiliate program managers are clickbank.com and paydotcom.com
7. Joint Ventures (JV)
In this method, you set up an arrangement with someone in your niche who already has a large customer base or email list and you tap into each other’s resources, recommending each other’s products or services on your respective websites, lists, blogs, etc… You help each other and both of your online businesses benefit far more than they would have without the JV.
By utilizing the 7 internet marketing methods above you will be able to attract all the targeted traffic you need to build a highly successful online home business!

Harnessing the Power of PLR
I’ve been thinking about writing on the subject of Private Label Rights (PLR) for quite a while but just haven’t found the words to say until now. You might be thinking, “What the heck are private label rights?” Well they are rights to a product package where you can change the contents of it, sell it for whatever you like, add other items to it and so on… Basically you can do whatever you want with a PLR package.
Let me start by saying that people simply don’t realize the awesome power of creating, or even buying a Private Label Rights package. Most PLR packages give you the right to do just about anything you like and most of them come with a sales page and everything else that you might need. PLR packages are an absolute gold mine if you know what to do with them.
A lot of people wonder what the point of buying a PLR package is. If you’re going to go through all the trouble of modifying the package so much, why not just create your own product from scratch? Well, you certainly can do that if you think you can come up with something on your own that will sell. But there a couple of reasons why buying a PLR package may be something that you want to do.
1. It can be very hard to think of ideas. Let’s face it, not everybody has a creative nature and even if you do you will still have to come up with a lot of content for the product. Now, if you find a PLR package being sold for the same idea that you were thinking of putting together then the work has already been done for you.
At the very least you can buy the PLR package and get lots more ideas from it to add to your own. Maybe you don’t completely like what’s in the package. That’s fine; you now have the right to change whatever you don’t like. This goes for the sales page, the content and the rest of the product package.
2. Even if you are an idea machine and can crank them out one after another, buying an established PLR package will still save you a lot of time. Think of all the hours you would spend writing the content, putting it together, and then creating a sales page for it. With a package that you purchased the private label rights for, all that time can be spent on marketing it to make money. And even if you do decide that there are some things you want to change around, you’re still going to save a lot of time by not having to create the product from scratch.
Okay, are we in agreement that in some cases buying a PLR package to create a product is definitely a good thing to do? I certainly hope so!
But what if you create your own PLR package from scratch to sell to others? Well, this is where you can really harness the power of PLR packages! See, with a PLR package that you bought, there are other people out there that have the same package. So the value of it over time is going to diminish quickly, even if you rewrite it.
This is not to say that it won’t also happen with your own PLR package, but the difference is, when it’s yours and brand new, NOBODY else has it. So at the very beginning, you can sell these packages for an awful lot of money. Today, you will see these packages going for $97, $197, $297, $497 or even more. The price of some of these packages is outrageous. And, if you want to make the package even more desirable, simply sell a limited number of them. You can rack up a few thousand dollars into your bank account very quickly by creating and selling your own PLR package.
The things that you can do with your own PLR package are limitless. You created it so you can do whatever you want with it. You are only limited by your imagination. Search the internet and you will find thousands of PLR packages out there. The reason there are so many is because they sell.
So if you have always thought that you don’t need or want to create your own PLR package or even buy somebody else’s, you might want to reconsider your position. Or if you never knew about PLR packages before, you do now and you should certainly think about using them to your advantage. PLR packages are some of the hottest sellers in the internet marketing community. That’s where a crap load of money is being made.
Let me start by saying that people simply don’t realize the awesome power of creating, or even buying a Private Label Rights package. Most PLR packages give you the right to do just about anything you like and most of them come with a sales page and everything else that you might need. PLR packages are an absolute gold mine if you know what to do with them.
A lot of people wonder what the point of buying a PLR package is. If you’re going to go through all the trouble of modifying the package so much, why not just create your own product from scratch? Well, you certainly can do that if you think you can come up with something on your own that will sell. But there a couple of reasons why buying a PLR package may be something that you want to do.
1. It can be very hard to think of ideas. Let’s face it, not everybody has a creative nature and even if you do you will still have to come up with a lot of content for the product. Now, if you find a PLR package being sold for the same idea that you were thinking of putting together then the work has already been done for you.
At the very least you can buy the PLR package and get lots more ideas from it to add to your own. Maybe you don’t completely like what’s in the package. That’s fine; you now have the right to change whatever you don’t like. This goes for the sales page, the content and the rest of the product package.
2. Even if you are an idea machine and can crank them out one after another, buying an established PLR package will still save you a lot of time. Think of all the hours you would spend writing the content, putting it together, and then creating a sales page for it. With a package that you purchased the private label rights for, all that time can be spent on marketing it to make money. And even if you do decide that there are some things you want to change around, you’re still going to save a lot of time by not having to create the product from scratch.
Okay, are we in agreement that in some cases buying a PLR package to create a product is definitely a good thing to do? I certainly hope so!
But what if you create your own PLR package from scratch to sell to others? Well, this is where you can really harness the power of PLR packages!

Basic Elements of a Home Based Business Plan
To be honest with you, the following tips actually apply to any business – home based, online, or brick and mortar. However, far too many home based entrepreneurs fail to realize the importance of writing a solid business plan for their home based business. Below I have given you some simple questions to answer in order to outline the essential information you need to know in order to start your home based business the right way.
1. What is your business?
Describe as simply as you can, in no more than one or two sentences, what it is that your business aims to do. You’ll be saying these one or two sentences a lot in your new home business, so spend a bit of time getting it right. Fine-tune it as much as you can, and then go back and adjust it as often as needed to keep it current and accurate. If you cannot describe your business in one or two sentences then there’s a good chance your home business idea itself needs some fine-tuning, because the missions and objectives of all successful businesses can be summarized succinctly.
2. Is there high demand for your business?
Simply put, does the public need what you’re offering? How difficult is it going to be to interest your target market in what you’re business is providing? List the reasons why you think people need what you’re offering; especially if it’s something similar to what they can already get somewhere else. This will also help you clarify for yourself exactly what distinguishes what you’re offering from the similar offerings of other businesses.
3. Who is your target market?
The better you know your potential customer, the better you’ll be able to cater your business to their needs and the more able you’ll be to sell them on your products and services. The sooner you figure this information out, the less time you’ll waste to trial and error. What is their income bracket? What is their household composition? Are they single or married? Do they have kids? How educated? How affluent? How old? What are their other interests? Where do they go to find the things they want or need?
4. Who is your competition?
Who else is offering similar products or services you are? How much competition do you have targeting your market area already? What makes your home based business different from theirs? What can you learn from your competitions successes and failures? How can you emulate what they’re doing and improve upon it? How loyal are their customers? Could you interest their customers in switching loyalties to your home business? How can you interest a niche in the market they’re not reaching yet? In short, knowing who you’re competing against will help you greatly in figuring out how your home business will stay competitive.
5. How do you plan to fund your home business?
Where is your home business start-up capital going to come from? Even with an online home business some amount of start up money is needed to get it going, and it’s better to know ahead of time how you’re going to acquire that capital. Will it come from savings, from credit cards, from a business loan, from a gift or a donation from a family member? Figure this out now and save yourself a lot of headaches later.
One more question you might also want to ask yourself is where you see your home based business in one year’s time? You need to have a vision of where you want to go with your business!
Answering all of these questions will greatly increase your chances of starting your home based business off on the right foot and building it into a highly profitable long term success.
1. What is your business?

10 Tips for Evaluating Online Home Business Opportunities
How do you determine whether an online home business opportunity is legitimate or a scam? And once you do identify legitimate online home business opportunities, how do you know which one is right for you?
Below I have listed 10 simple questions to ask yourself that will give you clear and definitive answers to those two important questions:
1. How many years has the company providing the opportunity been in business? Reputable online home businesses are usually not fly-by-night operations. Most scams eventually get recognized for what they are and get shut down before they are in business very long.
2. Are the income expectations reasonable and unlimited? A legitimate home business opportunity will not usually profess that you can get you rich quick. And a good online home business opportunity will never impose limits on the amount of money you can make until it gets ridiculously high.
3. Is the opportunity free or inexpensive to join? You shouldn’t have to pay a huge amount of money to sign up for an online home business opportunity. There are plenty of legitimate opportunities that are free or cheap so don’t waste your money on one that makes you pay a huge amount to be a member.
4. Does the company have a negative report with any organizations that deal with preventing people from being scammed? Some of these include the Better Business Bureau, Internet Trade Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, Scambusters, and the Direct Sellers Association. There are others but these are some of the most well known. If the business has a bad report with any of these then be very wary of it.
5. Does the company provide good support as well as training and resources to help you succeed in your online home business? Are mentors available to give you one-on-one guidance? You should have all the training, help and guidance you need without having to wait for it or find it on your own.
6. What’s the compensation scale and is the payment system viable? Not all home business opportunities are created equal, and even some legitimate ones will offer a less than attractive payment plan. Look around for the best compensation plan you can find, one that allows you to keep the largest percentage of the revenues you bring in. When all other things are equal, it’s the profit percentage that counts.
7. Does the company permit spamming? If so, then that is a huge red flag if ever there was one! No legitimate company will ever permit spamming. Any online home business opportunity you consider should explicitly warn members against spamming and delete their accounts if they are caught doing it.
8. Do they have a quality product or service to promote? If the company doesn’t have a quality product or service to promote then you won’t be able to make sales, therefore you won’t be able to make any money. Furthermore, if they don’t have any product or service at all and the only way you can make money is by recruiting others then you need to stay far away from it because it’s a pyramid scheme.
9. How big is your “territory”? The only right answer is: the world. Legitimate or not, you may wish to steer clear of business opportunities that restrict you to specific markets (whether geographically or demographically based). Since the advent of the internet, we now live in a global marketplace. You should be able to promote it online. Don’t go backwards in time by unnecessarily restricting yourself and your potential customer-base.
10. Do you have complete control over your activities? In other words – once you begin, is this your home business or simply a work at home job for an employer? Both are valid models, but only one is a business. The other’s just a job. You are much better off building your own online home business!
In conclusion, remember if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. An online business is not a magical solution to your financial future, you still have to work very hard and spend a lot of time to make it profitable. Any company that tells you different is flat out lying. Answer the 10 questions above for each home business opportunity you’re considering, and you’ll have a much better chance of choosing one that works for you.

How to Get Product Testimonials
Because of the natural skepticism most people possess and the growing problem of online scams, many people are hesitant to spend their money on money making products. This is why income proof and product testimonials are very important. In this post, I’m going to cover the latter of the two.
Testimonials are VERY important to making sales of your product. Having a sales page with a list of real customer testimonials is like having a handful of diamonds! But how do you get these testimonials if you’re just starting out and haven’t made any sales yet? This is one of the biggest dilemmas of internet marketing and it can drive a person crazy. Making that ever elusive first sale may actually be easier than getting your first testimonial, since some people will try new products just to be the first to have it. That doesn’t mean you’re going to get them to sing it praises, especially if the product doesn’t live up to their expectations.
So how do you get testimonials?
Well, hopefully, this short list of suggestions will give you a starting point for getting those first product testimonials. Then as you get more of them, they will be a lot easier to get from that point on.
1. If you’re just starting out and haven’t made any sales yet and want to get testimonials right away, there’s a good way to do this. You can give away a certain number of your product to the first X amount of people who visit your site. You need to make it very clear on your sales page that the conditions of this offer are that they agree to try it and if they find it of good quality, they agree to submit a testimonial for the product.
2. Another thing you can do is contact other marketers in the niche. Ask them if they would like a free copy of your product in exchange for a testimonial, if they like the product. You don’t want testimonials that are forced or paid for. You want honest testimonials! This way, if they have some problems with your product you might get some valuable feedback that you can use to make improvements.
3. One more thing you can do is offer a number of bonuses to your customers. Put information about the bonuses on your online business website sales page so visitors know they are getting a lot of value for their purchase. This may give buyers an incentive to take you up on your offer and give you a testimonial for your product in exchange. Make sure you over deliver on the bonuses and product or this will backfire on you!
4. Still one more thing you can do is go to an internet marketing forum, or a niche specific forum on the topic of your product that has a downloads section and offer the members of that forum your product for free in exchange for a testimonial if they like it. Then in the future you can remove the free download once you start selling it and have a lot of testimonials.
These are just a few things you can do to get your first few testimonials and start selling your product. Then, as you start making more sales, you will be able to gather many more testimonials over time. Certainly, if your product is of high quality, you’re going to find plenty of people who will compliment you on it. If somebody sends you a praise about your product, ask them if you can use it as a testimonial.
There is no doubt that testimonials are critical to launching a successful product online in today’s business climate. While getting them at first might be a little tricky, the above tips will make getting your first few quite a bit easier.

5 Surefire Tips for Mastering Email Marketing
If you haven’t mastered the incredible power of email marketing, then this article will be very profitable for you. Using the tips revealed in this article will drastically increase your email marketing conversion rates and overall internet profits. You can also transform visitors who would have never purchased anything from you into profitable, paying customers.
The multiple communications email marketing allows you to have with your prospects is what makes it so effective. Most people need to be exposed to your message up to 7 or more times before they trust you enough to pull out their credit card. Email marketing gives you this opportunity.
So, let’s discuss exactly what it takes to make your email marketing campaign a huge success:
1) Provide useful information in your messages. This is the top tip and it’s absolutely essential. People opt-in to your mailing list so they can get valuable information. They expect to read something useful. If you fail to give them what they want they will not be happy and they will opt-out of your list. You need to provide your list with informative, helpful emails that will make them look forward to hearing from you.
The key is to make people anticipate your messages and read them fully. The best way to achieve this is to give them something they have a desire for. In this case they may have a desire for quality information that will help them with a problem they have. Provide the info they are after and they will love you for it. This is a great position to be in to make a sale and a long term customer.
2) Personalize the subject of each email. This is also very important. Research has revealed that you will get a much higher conversion rate using personalized subject lines as opposed to non-personalized ones. People respond favorably when they see their name in the subject line of the email you send them. It makes your relationship with them seem more personal. They feel like they are corresponding with an actual person and not a machine. Build a relationship with your mailing list and gain their trust.
It’s also good to use their name in the body of your messages. This will help increase the personalized feel of your emails even further. A good autoresponder program will personalize emails for you using your reader’s first name wherever you choose. I highly recommend the Aweber autoresponder; they are very reliable and the most popular among internet marketers.
3) Make sure the email address you send your messages from is recognizable to your readers. If your readers don’t recognize the email address of where the message is coming from they are much less likely to open it and read it. This puts you at a serious disadvantage to ever get them as a customer.
4) Make the subject line as enticing as possible. The email subject line acts in the same way as the headline on a sales letter. Great headlines capture people’s attention and make them want to continue reading. One of the best ways to do that is to arouse the curiosity of your reader. This will make people want to open your message and check it out. You need to have great subject lines for all of your messages if you want to be successful at email marketing. Strive to increase the percentage of people who open your messages by creating better subject lines each time you broadcast to your list until you have it mastered. You can’t make sales off people who don’t look at the emails you send.
5) Keep your marketing message towards the end of the email. This will let your readers take in all of the valuable information you have given them before you make any attempt to market your product or service. This is important because people will feel more obligated to order from you after you have presented something they thought beneficial. Plus, if you start out with a marketing message they may not read any further because they will think you are just trying to make money off them.
Don’t include anything that sounds like a blatant sales pitch. Simply mention your product or service at the end of the email and include a link to your site. This non-aggressive approach tends to work very well. People hate being pressured into anything. For this reason, only include a brief product offer after you have given them valuable information. This tip works like magic.
There you go, five surefire tips for mastering email marketing. Put the above tactics into practice and you will be able to market your product or service much more effectively than ever before. Email is a great way to keep in contact with a list of current and potential customers, and is essential to your internet marketing success!
