You can do this at pingoatic.com &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This tells the search engines to come by and check out your new content.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your blog post should also be use any "hyperlinking" tool provided in &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the html symbol area. This helps you get "backlinks" for the keywords&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you want to "rank" for in the search engines. And you shoud be&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;targeting "long tail keywords" like "powerful blog post" vs just "blog"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why? There is a lot of competition for the keyword "blog" and your chances &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;of showing up on the 1st page of google is slim to none.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The symbol you are looking for is that blue ball with an inverted or &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;horizontal 8 below it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You first hi-lite the phrase or keyword you wish to target. Then click on that&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;blue ball with the horizontal 8 below it and a new screen will come up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then insert the URL of the website you want associated with that keyword&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to come up in the seach engines and get the backlink to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And last but not least, the subject or subjects you choose are important to whether you&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;will gain a following who constantly come back to your blog or forget it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You achieve this by giving them valuable and useful information they can use to &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;make their business successful. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;DO NOT something like "My XYZ Company is the best MLM company, It has the greates products &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and it pays commissions that are higher than any other company. These types of posts are &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;very common and do not provide real value to the reader. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;An effective blog post must provide valuable information to the reader so as to insure loyalty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The objective is to become an authority "figure" in your field of endeavor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You want your Blog "TO BE THE PLACE" where people go to get answers on the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;subject you are an authority on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-4443120569529546844?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/08/thetraffichut-how-to-make-effective.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-5900126882679335709</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-01T07:05:09.419-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blogger</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">absurd marketing tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">web content</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Larry Potter</category><title>How to get people to your blog</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); "&gt;Here's a secret you should know, people will only come to read your blog and continue to receive your posts IF you provide value.  You have to provide content that is either interesting, funny, or well-written, thought-provoking CONTENT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's that word again... CONTENT.  Your sales page is NOT content.  It's a sales page.  You can find sales pages everywhere you turn.  You don't want a sales page.  You want to know ME.  You want to know who I am, what makes me special, and why you should stay connected with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you figure those things out, you MIGHT want to see what opportunity I'm working or maybe you don't.  But the truth is, you're not going to buy from me if all you see is a sales page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry if that seems harsh.  But you've been told (were you listening?) that people do business with people they know, like and trust.  A sales page isn't enough to make me know those things, but it is enough to make me know that if you don't give me more, I WON'T do business with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've got to build your list.  With a list, you build trust.  With trust between us, you can show me what you're doing and I just might want to try it too.... because I know, like and trust you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); "&gt;Larry Potter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); "&gt;Zurich Management Group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); "&gt;Zurich Planners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-5900126882679335709?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-get-people-to-your-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-8482211619420347875</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-07-06T06:14:54.448-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">sales copy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing</category><title>Read It Out Loud</title><description>&lt;div&gt;I don't know what it is about reading sales copy out loud, but it gives you lots and lots of insight into how good (or bad) it really is. All the bumps and rough spots jump out at you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even better than reading it out loud yourself is to have someone else read it to you while you take notes on a printout of the copy. One big advantage of this is that he is completely impartial. He won't stress certain words to make the meaning clearer. And if he stumbles over a phrase or sentence or paragraph, you know that's an area you need to rework.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another thing I do during this editing phase is make sure the copy is geared to the prospect's benefit. I do it by changing some of the "I's," "We's," and "Me's" to "You's" - e.g., changing "We are giving you 6 must-have bonuses" to "You'll get 6 must-have bonuses."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Much stronger that way. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pres, KIM-LAR INC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-8482211619420347875?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/07/read-it-out-loud.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-335258348161845777</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jun 2010 16:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-13T10:20:10.973-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">subscriber list</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">social media</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">article marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">list</category><title>Tracking + Tweaking = Increased Profits</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Your Subscriber List Is The Only&lt;br /&gt;Reliable "Traffic Machine" That You Have Full Control Over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;And everyone knows the money's in the list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;The problem is that 99% of marketers don't know how to build their lists quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Everywhere you look online right now, every "expert" has something different&lt;br /&gt;to say about online marketing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;There's Article Marketing, Video Marketing, Social Media, Postcards, Webinars,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Pay Per Click,  Phone Broadcasting, etc...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;There are so many different and unique ways of creating and sustaining traffic&lt;br /&gt;it's enough to drive an elephant bonkers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;And why we do WANT / NEED this traffic?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Is it to make sales?

This person’s primary goal is to just go through life as comfortably as possible. They don’t want stress. They don’t want to be pushed or challenged. They don’t like conflict. The just want to go through life on cruise control, hanging out with their friends, and having a good time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Everything they do like buy sell is designed to support their pursuit of comfort. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is your average, life-long employee who’s more than happy to have a safe, stable, comfortable job. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you push this person away from that goal, and challenge them or their routine lifestyle, watch out. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2: You win by being liked. This person’s primary goal in life is to be liked by others. They want acceptance from everyone, and will do just about anything to reach that goal. They’d rather be liked, than be right or wrong and that is not something they can purchase.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you put someone like this in a leadership role, the business will usually fail because they won’t be willing to make hard decisions that would anger someone. They would try to please everyone all the time because their ultimate motivation is to be liked by others. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3: You win by being right. This person is usually an expert in a specific field like a professor, lawyer, or a wife. (Just kidding ladies! ?). People who win by being right, don’t accept criticism and aren’t open to new ideas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They tend to reach a glass ceiling when it comes to money, their career, and relationships, because they can’t accept their short-comings in order to move past them and achieve personal growth. Arguing with this person never works because they’ll always find a way to prove you wrong, even if it means sabotaging your company in the process. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In order to win, this person must be right. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4: You win by winning. This person is an achiever. Their primary motivation is to win. They are very competitive, and will do whatever it takes to win. They won’t quit, and they’ll constantly push themselves to gain the edge they need.  And they know there is no rebate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This category describes all successful entrepreneurs and athletes. Winning is their reward, and on the dark side, some of them will go too far and compromise their integrity in order to do so. Key Lay of Enron is a great example. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This type of person doesn’t care if others don’t like them, and they welcome discomfort because it provides them with new opportunities to win. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5: You win by losing. This person wins by being a victim. They want sympathy from others or their spouse. Just when things start to get better, they will sabotage themselves, and say, “I knew it wouldn’t work”, giving them their victory once again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There lives are always filled with problems because they don’t win unless they lose, so they create circumstances and excuses that help them fulfill that destiny like, “Your book won’t teach me anything new. I don’t have the money. This is just another scam. I’ll give it a try…”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Are you taking a long hard look at your life right now?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are people who are not wealthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are not healthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are stuck in the same job without a promotion for 10 years because they want to be liked. There are people who are addicted to struggle because they win by losing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And most likely, you see a little of yourself in each of these categories.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But what’s important to remember, is that winning is a continuous process that is brought to an end once you’ve won, which is an event. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As soon as you’ve “won”, the process starts all over again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is why you tend to feel lost or unfulfilled after you achieve a goal. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don’t know where you are at this moment in your life, but I do know this… Entrepreneurs win by winning, and they’ll do whatever it takes to fulfill that subconscious desire. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If your subconscious’ desire is to REALLY “win” in networking or your home business right now, then you should already have http://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut on your desktop because it is what the heavy hitters use to get their sites noticed, over and over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you don’t, then you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why? Do you really want to “win” in this industry, or are you after something else…?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you REALLY want to “win” in this industry, but have recognized that you’re not where you need to be today, the choice is yours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You are not a victim or a prisoner of your subconscious. You can control it. You can train it to achieve new goals. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You have complete power over every aspect of your life and you can reinvent yourself, and the way you win at any time, but it’s a process that will require complete dedication&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Larry Potter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pres, KIM-LAR INC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-2431272298215876408?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/06/5-ways-for-you-to-win-when-you-buy-sell.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-2164936521964153866</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 May 2010 22:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-17T15:08:37.228-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">affiliate marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">autoresponder</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">affiliate program</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">affiliates</category><title>One of the biggest mistakes affiliates make....</title><description>The biggest mistake many affiliates make is not setting up a list. They will often direct traffic that they generated to their affiliate links, instead of a list. When this occurs, they may not know it, but they are wagering that their visitor will purchase on first contact. Unfortunately for the affiliate marketer, this is usually not the case. Visitors many times need to be warmed up to the product with several visits and more information before they decide they may wish to buy from a business or person (you). This is where building a list become effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you build a list, you, the affiliate, can remedy this problem. In addition, you can keep traffic and then proceed to warm it up, and then point it to different purchases down the line. What this means is that it is not a one-shot deal. You can make the effort to sell the same person other products over the course of time and you use you existing traffic instead of going out and finding new prospects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, to pull this off with success, you the affiliate in question must purchase the required tools. We personally suggest using the autoresponder service listed at the bottom. It is relatively inexpensive ($18/mo.) and comes with a large range of services, including macros and spam checkers and macros. I believe it is also whitelisted by many email clients and boasts a near 100% delivery rate. This autoreponder service will not only manage your list, but it will also help you grow it. It comes with many free tools that enable you to create hover-ins, web forms and pop-ups, all of which can be employed to maximize your opt-in rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides buying the autoresponder service, you should also setup your own site if you do not already own one. I often use Yola to create one in minutes, give it a try. The first five you set up don't cost a thing! Of course if you already have a related site, you can simply add your opt-in form to a page on your existing site. This applies to blogs too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you have your site and your autoresponder setup, you only have two steps remaining: the first is creating a course or several articles that are related to the affiliate products you will sell; and the second is creating an opt-in form for you site or blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first part is rather easy. Begin by figuring out what your topic will be and then outline it over a period of five to seven days. Write everything as if you are talking to a person, you don't want it to look like a formal article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't want to write the articles yourself, hire a ghostwriter at elance for $5-15 per issue, depending on the size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you have created your autoresponder articles, load it into your autoresponder with advertisements in the text for the affiliate product you are going to sell, and then create an opt-in box for your list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The opt-in box is very important. Most marketers often neglect this which is strange since they have spent the time to create a good course, inserted affiliate links that don't look too obvious and decided on the delivery dates on all of the emails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to make your opt-in page convert...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, remember that the main purpose of an opt-in page is simply to collect opt-in email addresses and/or phone numbers. You don't want Google Adsense ads all over them and you definitely will not include a navigational menu that readers can use to browse your site. Why? Because they detract from your main purpose which is to get visitors to opt-in to your list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally suggest what is called a “squeeze page” which will “squeeze” new visitors for their email addresses and names. Here's a few things an effective squeeze page should include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. A nice graphic header. Make sure it's not a blurry header created from using using terrible templates. I suggest you visit BZ9 (see below)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. A grabbing headline. Before you request someone to opt-in to your list, you must reach out and GET their attention with a red headline in large font. Make sure your headline is clear and very COMPELLING. No fluff, keep it simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Use compact text that is two paragraphs at most. All you want to do is basically tell them “Look! Here's a really great reason to opt in to my list. Did I mention it is free? Please opt in now”. Consider also giving them a free report for opting into your list, which can be downloaded as soon as they opt-in. Nothing like a good incentive that will push them to join.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Your call to action. Tell them to stop kicking the tires and join now. Tell them their future hangs on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Your signature. It will immediately provide you with credibility. People want to see one, so write yours down, scan it; and add it to your squeeze page or use the below tool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. A no spam clause. Let them know that you will not spam them or sell their information. Telling them that will make them far more likely to opt-in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have your opt-in form set, the only thing left is to drive traffic sources to your opt-in list (see resource box) collect their email addresses – and then wait for the money to roll in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;br /&gt;Pres, KIM-LAR INC.&lt;br /&gt;Good Autoresponder: http://budurl.com/FastAutoResponder&lt;br /&gt;Squeeze Pages: http://budurl.com/InstantOptinPages&lt;br /&gt;Signatures: http://www.vletter.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-2164936521964153866?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-of-biggest-mistakes-affiliates-make.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-8975771214634521513</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 May 2010 12:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-15T05:50:20.435-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">affiliate marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">safelists</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">spam</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">affiliate program</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Yola</category><title>3 Things To Avoid With Online Affiliate Marketing</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;#1 Avoid Spammy Mediums Like the Plague They Are&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As an affiliate marketer, your reputation is very important. Never develop a reputation as someone who is a spammer or a really desperate individual, otherwise people aren't going to follow your advice. Let's say you recommend a product to people – either through a free ebook, your list, or anything like that – and they perceive you as somewhat of a desperate person who spams, more than likely, they will not pay attention to what you say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why would anybody take your advice on purchasing some product like an ebook, if you get your traffic through spam? Clearly you haven't been successful with what you've read in the book, so why should they heed your advice?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;With that said, here's a list of some important sources to FORGET:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. FFAs or "free for alls." FFAs are just forums or email lists that permit needy people to throw garbage at each other's wall to see if any of it sticks. Do we really want to accept 100 messages a day from other online affiliate marketers? Will you buy any of their products? Me thinks not!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And guess what? They don't want to buy your stuff either. They all want to sell items. The best advice I can give you is to avoid these email lists and forums. The only people using them are spammers who are in dire straights to sell you something. Do you think actual buyers want to wade into these trash heaps (FFAs) in order to buy something when they can just do a Google search?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Safelists. They are fine if you enjoy getting hit with spammy garbage everyday. They are just a list of those who agreed to join a list, so they could blast out their offers. All those on the list want to send out their offers, but they don't want to really get offers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As an affiliate markter, you mindset must be to find places where people want to purchase stuff – not where they want to sell products. What good is a marketplace if they are all sellers? It is pretty useless – especially considering that all of them have failed virtually every other place they have tried.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not only are these a waste of time, but they could damage your credibility. Don't do it. Keep away from spammy lists of all types. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;#2 Adopt the “Successful Affiliate's Mindset”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Most people who become successful in all areas of life tend to mention mindset the most. For the most part, this is the vital bit of information that people who haven't yet experienced any success want to hear about the least. They want meat and potatoes information, just the facts and exact procedures, sir. They don't want this mindset stuff that appears more self-glorifying than helpful.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They don't realize that this information is very important. If you wish to make a lot of money as someone who is self-employed, you most definitely cannot do so without first taking full responsibility for your success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why? Because no other individual is responsible for your success (or lack of) other than you. That's right: the person you bought that last ebook from is not responsible for your success or failure. If you return to them after 30 days and say “Hey, you! This doesn't work, I'm not a millionaire yet, as you said I would...” he'll gladly refund your money and be on his way. What they won't do is make you money. That part rests entirely with you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, you ask "how can I do it?" You must develope the right mindset – by realizing that no matter what occurs, you are 100% responsible. You no longer have a boss watching you. You can't say “I tried really hard; therefore, I still should get paid.” Nope, it doesn't work that way, you only receive pay as an affiliate marketer after you have made sales.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You MUST adopt that mindset and avoid self-pity and the temptation to blame other people for your failure, no matter how appealing that is. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;#3 Create Your Own Website (one good site is Yola, and it only takes minutes)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The majority of online affiliate marketers begin by referring all of their PAYING clients to affiliate links, instead of their own site. This might assist in short term commissions, but could reduce future profit opportunities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you have someone who has enough money burning a hole in their pocket to buy, then try to get them on one of your email lists. Send him to YOUR own website; and get him to optin for a course you've created or some other no cost product. Only once he's on your email list should you begin marketing affiliate products to them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you don't yet have a list, you can create one with the tool at the following URL: http://budurl.com/FastAutoResponder    You can sign up for their trial.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you send BUYING customers to your affiliate link, that product owner benefits more than you do. If you send them to a website that is yours, you will not only get the sale from that one interaction, but you also get the chance to make future offers to them. Most product owners will tell you that, but I want YOU to gain the most out of http://www.CompleteGreenProfits.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You now know the 3 most VITAL things to avoid online affiliate marketing.

An excellent article title is the right length--not too long and not too short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how short is too short? I'd say one word. Always make sure your title is at least two words long. You want to have a title that lets the reader know exactly what your  article is concerned with. So, you might have to use more than 2 words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you are probably wondering how long is too long? Length requirements are not the same for all publishers, so we've found a good rule of thumb is not to above 100 characters with your title for the best response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G Potter, Pres.&lt;br /&gt;www.CompleteGreenProfits.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-4724568242452968588?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/05/not-too-long-and-not-too-shortarticle.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-705495171059113284</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-28T08:30:19.106-07:00</atom:updated><title>New Approach to Email Marketing</title><description>There’s a change going through the marketing world where customer service is “the new marketing“.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you take care of your clients, they like you. When they like you, they remain with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new approach is to locate those who make more sense. Begin relationships with them before you try to sell them something. Learn what you can about them, then make the your offer – if it is something they can use. You want to be sure your products are something your audience wants. Then, prepare them for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must build a two-way, trusting relationship with your readers. To obtain their purchases, you need their word-of-mouth support and you must listen to their thoughts/ideas and their goodwill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you cannot overcome their resistance, you'll never make the sale.

In&lt;br /&gt;fact, the Asian continent ranks first worldwide for the number of&lt;br /&gt;Internet users—578 MILLION and growing. And they're just getting&lt;br /&gt;started!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's Africa and the Middle East that since 2000 have witnessed&lt;br /&gt;what can only be described as a phenomenal increase of online users:&lt;br /&gt;a cumulative, eight-year 1,031% and 1,177% growth rate, respectively!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is all this important?

It's that simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Internet marketers make a very big error. They wrongly assume that "knowing more" is more better than "thinking better."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they spend a large amount of their time learning more instead of trying to think more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which do you do? Are you spending more time thinking or learning?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd hazzad a guess that you have spent most of your time grasping many facts pertaining to online marketing and enlarging &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;your home business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not say that is wrong, but unless you did some laser thinking first, chances are high that you've discovered many things &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that aren't really needed for expanding your business immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the difference between "just-in-time" learning and what is called "just-in-case" learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I want you to consider your business for 40 minutes -- and I guarantee you... it will require effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the approach to take:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Spend 10 minutes finding all the barriers presently blocking your business goals. What is one that will payoff the biggest &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you get rid of it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Then take 10 minutes trying to discover the main reason for that obstacle. You can accomplish that by thinking about the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;roadblock and asking yourself, "Why do I have this roadblock?" When you get an answer to that problem, ask yourself WHY. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wash, rinse and repeat this method until you've gotten down to the main reason for the roadblock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Next, use 10 minutes for coming up with as many solutions as you can for handling the root cause of the problem. Choose &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the alternative you believe is the best solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Now, during the last ten minutes, consider all the actions you'd need to take to implement the solution you just came up &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then... get to work on it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, do something immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You want minimize the time from the formation of your plan to its end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winners do this. They first spend time going through new approaches to their roadblocks. And when a new approach works, they &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not only get an immediate results, they also have new ideas they can use (and often sell) repeatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do this today, then let us know how it worked for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;br /&gt;Pres, KIM-LAR INC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;CompleteGreenProfits.com&lt;a href="http://www.CompleteGreenProfits.com"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-4983038705948431094?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/04/winners-vs-losers.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-790300141544208582</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-19T18:49:09.602-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">absurd marketing tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">advertising</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">product</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">websites</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">prospect</category><title>Three Easy Steps To Make More Sales</title><description>1. Begin talking about what your prospect will get if they do what you want them to do. Simply put, let them know what's in it for them? Don't tell your story before you tell them what's in it for them. Talk about them first. Do this in all of your selling communications first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Quit talking about what your product does. You can talk about what it does for them, not what it does techically. What it does for them is very important, what it does, is irrelevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Let them know specifically what to do next. Tell them. You cannot be vague about what they are to do next. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you integrate these three simple steps into your marketing today?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Review some top websites and see how they do it. See how they start out their sales letters. What words and phrases do they use? What do they accomplish with first few words of their paragraphs? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great "back end" product to sell is YOU! As you become more of an established "expert" in your niche your time and advice become invaluable. Your most valuable product is YOU and YOUR TIME. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Review your advertising. Make sure it comes from the angle of telling the prospect what's in it for them. If it doesn't, be sure to change it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Change what needs to be changed.

Sweeten the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incentives Put The Icing On the Cake&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;An incentive motivates someone who is on the fence about offering up their contact information, and solidifies the fact that they are truly interested in your offer when they press the submit button.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incentives are different from your offer. Combined with your offer, incentives compel subscribers to sign up regardless of any initial hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several things you can do with your incentive:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Provide a free ebook or report in addition to your offer&lt;br /&gt;Hold a drawing for a grand prize&lt;br /&gt;Have an ongoing promotion (like free dessert on your birthday each year)&lt;br /&gt;Offer a free consultation&lt;br /&gt;Provide coupons that offer a percentage off of your products&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-4684295825935569618?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/04/eliminate-doubt.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-4275767605845067125</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-04T09:37:56.115-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">goals</category><title>Don’t set goals</title><description>The conventional wisdom says that extensive career and business planning are crucial, but the richest man in town is more likely to believe that planning inhibits success. Most of these rich men and women don’t plot a course that is more detailed than "get up each morning and do better than the day before."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s wrong with goals and plans? Too often, those who set them feel obliged to stick with them even when changing circumstances render the plans obsolete. Being ready to adapt to changing circumstances is a better policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example: Jim Oelschlager, the richest man in Akron and founder of the investment company Oak Associates, Ltd., says that the only business plan he ever had was "answer the phone if it rang."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, a manager at his employer at the time, Firestone, asked him to manage its pension plan. This experience allowed him to create a series of successful mutual funds later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the challenge of having multiple sclerosis, Oelschlager was able to take advantage of the best opportunities that came his way even when they were not what he expected. Over the years, Oak Associates has profitably expanded -- and Oelschlager also started CyGem, an information technology company, and Oak Air airline charters. Oelschlager believes that if he had moved his company in the direction he wanted to go rather than the direction that client feedback led him, "we would have failed miserably."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.larrygpotter.com"&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-4275767605845067125?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/04/dont-set-goals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-9124634514253776430</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Apr 2010 19:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-03T12:39:03.509-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ezines</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">websites</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ranks</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">articles</category><title>Tips on writing articles.</title><description>The importance of articles in today's websites and internet based&lt;br /&gt;companies are immeasurable. They dictate a lot in the success and&lt;br /&gt;the drive of traffic into one's site. It is a key element&lt;br /&gt;in making a site work and earn a profit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic&lt;br /&gt;to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in&lt;br /&gt;search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the&lt;br /&gt;traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there&lt;br /&gt;are more profits and more potential for other income generating&lt;br /&gt;schemes as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But articles have certain requirements as well. These requirements &lt;br /&gt;must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide &lt;br /&gt;for your site. A well written article will catch the eyes and interest &lt;br /&gt;of your customers and keep them coming back for more.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are four things all articles must have to make them successful &lt;br /&gt;and help in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Keywords and Keyword Phrases&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword&lt;br /&gt;phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who&lt;br /&gt;are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific&lt;br /&gt;something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search&lt;br /&gt;engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota&lt;br /&gt;Camry, Tax Lawyer and etc). It could be anything they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Important thing is that you have an article that has the&lt;br /&gt;keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain&lt;br /&gt;an auto parts site, you must be able to have articles about cars and&lt;br /&gt;their parts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Keyword Density&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase&lt;br /&gt;is used on an article. An article must have good keyword density for a search&lt;br /&gt;engine to "feel" its presence. Articles should at least have ten to&lt;br /&gt;fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search&lt;br /&gt;engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high&lt;br /&gt;rank is what articles do best for a site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Good Article Content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be &lt;br /&gt;regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain &lt;br /&gt;people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. &lt;br /&gt;Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get&lt;br /&gt;great information and as many facts as you can. This will boost your &lt;br /&gt;reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people &lt;br /&gt;believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Linking Articles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit&lt;br /&gt;articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters&lt;br /&gt;and other sites, DON'T ever forget to include a link to your site. A&lt;br /&gt;little resource box with a brief description of your site and you&lt;br /&gt;should always be placed right after your articles that you have&lt;br /&gt;submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click&lt;br /&gt;on the link directing them to your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;br /&gt;http://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-9124634514253776430?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/04/tips-on-writing-articles.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-1583380499827535432</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-31T08:50:28.494-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aweber</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">absurd marketing tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing online</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">home business</category><title>Just Do It!</title><description>There has never been a better time to start a business — not necessarily a brand-new business - than now in this economy. You could even start something new with an online business that you already have in operation. Perhaps you could add video to your website with a free program like Jing or Photo Story 3 for Windows which is a free download, or create a series of follow-up emails with a service like &lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/?207965"&gt;Aweber&lt;/a&gt; or start placing ads on Backpage, Epage and Adlandpro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the true entrepreneur, now is always the time to make improvements to your business. You want to stop doing things that are not working and do more of what’s working for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how do you know what to focus on first when you have a long list of things you want to try?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not too hard, just put your efforts into the one that will generate the most profits that most closely matches the core purpose of your online (or off) business or your stated conversion goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose your main focus is to build a subscriber list that you want to market products or services to. You need to take a little time and decide what would give you the best return on your investment of money and time. Maybe you need to write more articles, or consider paid search advertising or test your landing pages for an online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've found that the best combination is writing articles that will drive free (organic) search engine traffic to one of your simple landing pages and paid search advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your landing page should offer a free report on your topic of choice. Those who are interested in that topic will sign up. You deliver the report and follow up with ongoing e-mails that deliver more information. That's where services like Aweber come in handy and allow you to automate the process. Always stay on topic though and don't make each mail an ad, provide useful information along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the paid advertising, you could open a Google AdWords account and create a single ad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely, you can give up one hour of watching television or surfing the Web to work on your Internet business. Did you know that in a recent report it was determined that the average American spends almost 1750 hours watching television in a one year. That comes out to 145 hours per month, which is more than six 24-hour days in front of the TV every month. If you are serious about having a successful business you can give up one of those five hours a day spent on television or surfing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have the same 24 hours each day, but how we spend them is very important. Stop right now and figure out how to use some of those hours to make progress on your online business goals. There’s no excuse not to. Do it now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G Potter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.LarryGPotter.com"&gt;www.LarryGPotter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry G.

You will earn percentage commission for every purchase. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Use a blog or create a new one for free at sites such as Blogger.com, and post your review of products, including your affiliate link. Then "ping" your blog at a site such as Pingomatic.com, so it gets picked up quickly by search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If you have an email list of newsletter subscribers or others who have opted in to receive email offers from you, send them an email telling them about your site, and use some text from your homepage in your email. Include your affiliate link at the end of the email. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Write a review of some products, letting people know how good it is. Include your affiliate link at the end of the review. Post your review to multiple free sites usinghttp://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising: Using a PPC account from Google Adwords, Overture, or others, you can easily generate income with affiliate programs. You can either send people directly to sites using your affiliate link in your PPC ads, or you can create your own website in which you have a review of our product, followed by your affiliate tracking link. You can quickly create free sites at Yola&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Every few weeks post a press release at PRweb.com, in which you include your favorable review of your product, along with your affiliate link. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Join popular marketing forums such as WarriorForum.com, and make frequent contributions to popular threads there. Be sure to go into your forum profile and edit your "signature". Make a signature that includes your affiliate link, or a link to your own "review" website of your product. That way, every time you make a post, anyone who sees it will see your signature and potentially click on your affiliate link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From our experience, you will get the best results from writing your own product reviews, even if it's short. You don't have to be a good writer. Just write what you really think about the product. When you publish your product review, use your general affiliate link to send users to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will have much better conversion if you'll put your visitors into pre-sold mood before sending them to your site. This means that you build interest in the product and the visitor has decided to potentially buy it after he reads your product review.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Choose from various types of product descriptions, experiment with short or long, try to find perfect combination with banners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to think like your visitor, when she comes to your page with review or affiliate links, you should draw her attention, build curiosity or feeling that she might need this kind of solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can xperiment with reviews, text links, or different banners. Keep those that bring good results, and change the others. Sometimes only changing a few words or color of link can mean difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using these methods, you can quickly begin to earn money online now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Potter&lt;br /&gt;http://budurl.com/LeadVideos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5197744785967712365-5886850744113418424?l=absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://absurdsmartmarketingtips.blogspot.com/2010/03/ways-to-make-money-with-affiliate.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wallmann)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197744785967712365.post-3826593729094674563</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-23T08:55:46.317-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">hubze</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">facebook</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">twitter</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ning</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">myspace</category><title>Use Hubze To Help Expand Your Network and Increase Your Cash Flow.</title><description>Hubze is a combination of "hub", which is what we will be doing with ALL of your social sites and many other features and the word "zenith" which means the highest point or the pinnacle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that this New Service Platform We are creating and what it is going to do to help people.. will really blow peoples minds to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need More Info.
