God Has Humor

On the first day, God created the dog and said, sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this I will give you a life span of twenty years. The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How

about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?” And God said that it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?”
And God again said that it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?”
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.”
But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God, “You asked for it.”
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it as a public service. If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.

EZ Money Method is a good Sales Funnel to assist you in building your list, make money so you can pay for your advertising (rather than only using poorly producing free methods), make money off the 95% of people who have no interest in joining your primary MLM opportunity or affiliate program and build your business online. This works well because you are able to build your list and build relationships with people that can eventually lead to bringing them into your primary business opportunity.
An effective online sales funnel costs less than $50 and EZMM comes in (when you sign up for the 3 programs in the funnel) at a very affordable $41.92. You can actually join for less than that but it’s not recommended if you want to get the best bang for your buck. Most people recommend that you join all 3 programs to maximize your income potential and get the full benefit of each program which enhance each other well.
You get the following 3 programs in your sales funnel to help you earn income:
1. My PC Backup: this is pc back up software that we all need which has a very rating. For $6.95/month (less if pay for the year up front) you receive an upfront commission of $50. Not bad ha?
2. you get GVO. GVO is an autoresponder that everyone in online or Internet marketing needs. Difference is GVO is half the price of Aweber or Getresponse. Its’ only $10 a month for the basic package. This is very easy to integrate for your system to be on autopilot.
3. Empower Network: Empower Network is one of the most popular online income opportunities on the internet right now and is getting very well known. They pay 100% commissions. There are many people making a living with it when they were not successful with anything else before. The advantage of having this program in the EZMM sales funnel is two-fold. First, EN is a authority blogging platform to help you generate FREE search engine traffic to promote any business or product you want. You will have a huge advantage over your own blog because they are an authority site around the world and can get your on the front page of Google very easily.
Second, Empower Network pays you a residual income per person you sign up at the basic $25 level per month and the $100 Inner Circle level (recommended for the excellent training you get). There’s also a $500 one time sale product and $1000 one time sale product so there’s the opportunity for 1-Time HUGE-TICKET Commissions! Imagine selling a few $1500 a week! This can add up very fast (much quicker than traditional MLM income). Plus, it is very attractive to be able to bring people in for just $25 which will generate you many more sign-ups because of the low price point and all the while you are building a good size list with EZMM and Empower Network!
A no brainer for sure! Imagine this for a minute. With only 80 Inner Circle members direct to you that is worth $10,000 a month residual income to you! The lead capture page that you get for FREE with your EZMM System converts really well and inside the system they provide you with STEP-BY-STEP training in the back office if you are a newer marketer. Anybody can make money with EZMM and build a nice size list over time if they follow the EZ free training. It’s very simple, “NEWBIE FRIENDLY” and can be set up in less than an hour which is why I like this one so much. There is no need to have to spend hours helping people get set up and coaching them on different marketing strategies.
I highly recommend you try this. I saw this for a long time and wondered why so many people are using this and now I see how easy it is and how easy it is to set up. The name really fits it well. EZ Money Method! It is an E-Z Method to Make Money!

EZ Money Method Funnel System

This is an up to date review of the EZ Money Method Funnel System I am updating this on 2nd November 2012. So if you don’t know anything about EZ Money Method read on for the details.
The system is set up so you can make upfront cash in the form of $50 payments that can be used for advertising for your main business. To earn the $50 all you need to do is introduce people to a product that every person on the planet with a computer needs, namely computer back up.
The beauty of this is that the My PC Backup product only costs around $10 a month. That’s right, you are trying to get people to purchase a $10 product and you get paid $50 it’s crazy I know. Do you think people would be willing to purchase a product that gives them peace of mind that they are covered if their computer crashes and they lose all their data? I think so. See what John has to say about EZ Money Method in this video.

It gets better though when you tell people who sign up that they can also earn $50 commissions doing the same thing. Do you think they would be interested in joining you in EZ Money Method? For sure they will. How can My PC Backup pay $50 on a $10 product you may ask? My PC Backup have worked out how much each customer is worth to them and can afford to pay out the $50 based on these numbers.

Now the EZ Money Method has 2 residual income products built into the back office so you can make even more money. If you are not sure what residual is it is income you get paid month after month for something you done once. How does that sound? You get people to purchase a product that has a monthly recurring payment and you get a percentage of that payment each month that they stay as a paying customer.

The first product is a set of tools that most marketers need. Hosting for their website, an auto responder to follow up with leads, a video producer and various other tools. The company that provides these tools is GVO which stands for Global Virtual Opportunities. The cost of these products are just $9.97 a month which I think is an absolute bargain. If you have an Aweber autoresponder that costs $19 a month just for the autoresponder alone.
The people you sign up would be getting a handy set of tools at a great price and you would get a percentage of their payment each month.

The other product in the back office is Empower Network which is a blogging platform which cost $25 a month for the basic version. The beauty of Empower Network is that you receive 100% commissions so each month you would receive $25 for each paying customer. There are also other products in the Empower Network back office that you can earn 100% commissions on as long as you have purchased those products too.

So work it out for an initial payout from you of about $45 money you will make back and more on your first sale of My PC Backup. Even getting just one sale a month would cover your costs from then on. Do you think you could do that?

Think about it for your $45 you get your PC backed up, a ready made blogging system with massive potential to make a lot of money, hosting and auto responder and all the other goodies they have in GVO. I think this is a no brain-er deal.

Plus once you become a member Of EZ Money Method by purchasing My PC Backup you then get access to comprehensive free training with a daily plan that shows you how to start getting sales. See what Justin has to say about EZ Money Method in this video.

Have you seen enough yet? As an added bonus for also joining me in Empower Network I will get you access to training within our “Prosperity Team”. This training is worth well over $2000 and will get you off to a flying start.
So what are you waiting for? Hit the join now button and join me in EZ Money Method today and you can make your money back by tonight.

Internet Marketing Explained In 5 Minutes Or Less

2012-11-16T12:42:00.000-08:00

Internet marketing is still a complete mystery to a large

majority of Internet users. For many net users, online

marketing is seen as some foreign area of the web, populated

with silly get-rich-quick schemes and unsavory characters

ready to rip off the innocent and uninformed consumer at

the click of a mouse.

In fact, Internet marketing could not be further removed

from this unfaltering picture. In reality, Internet marketing

is populated mainly with hard working professionals promoting

and selling high quality brand products by many of the world's

Top 500 companies.

Worldwide there are now over a billion Internet users,

representing one large global consumer base or marketplace.

The total amount of goods sold online has been steadily

increasing each year as the Internet gains in both popularity and

familiarity. Studies have shown people shop online because of

lower prices, a wider selection of products, easier comparison

shopping, and many just prefer not having to travel to stores

to make a purchase.

Handling all this online e-commerce is a whole sector of

companies, hosting providers, web designers, advertising

agencies... and so on. All this online commerce has also

given rise to a relatively new creature --- the professional

Internet marketer. Someone who makes a lucrative living

helping facilitate, in one form or another, all this online

activity.

Still Internet marketing has gotten a raw deal.

If you mention to any group of professionals that you're

an Internet Marketer and that you work full time on the Internet;

you will receive some very skeptical looks and more than one

arched eyebrow of disbelief.

Regardless of this lingering skepticism, Internet marketing

has become a viable alternative for many disgruntled professionals

dissatisfied with their working hours or conditions. It has become

a viable alternative for many people from all walks of life, from

the college student to the bored housewife to the retired doctor...

all are enjoying a part time or full time income from the comfort

of their homes.

And since the Internet is now practically available to everyone,

anywhere in the world --- Internet marketing is a level playing field.

Anyone can make a full time or part time income from the web if

they truly desire it.

There are many forms of Internet marketing. There are many online

business models you can follow. There are countless ways to earn

a good honest income from the Internet. Which path you take

will be largely determined by your own work habits, your background

and what marketing style you're most comfortable with.

Here's a quick rundown of the most popular forms of Internet

Marketing:

1. The Brick and Mortar Store Online

Most major companies and retail stores have created online

versions of their brick and mortar businesses. Even if

consumers don't buy online, many use these sites for

gathering product information before buying in the

real world. A factor many savvy businesses are exploiting

in their overall marketing strategies.

2. Online Services

Many service industries have moved online, everything

from travel to banking to dating! Again, the Internet

can be a profitable extension for any service company.

3. Internet Products/Internet Gurus

Internet marketing has a whole history of pioneers who

have forged the methods and techniques of marketing online -

opt-in lists, mini-sites, article marketing, pay-per-click

advertising, joint ventures... a brief history populated with

such names as John Reese, Marlon Sanders, Ralph Wilson,

Yanik Silver, Corey Rudl, Ken Evoy and countless others.

A whole new industry has grown around 'How-to' market online,

info products, workshops and web seminars --- teaching

people how to market on the Internet. A marketer creating

his own product can prove very productive; as seen

by John Reese's 2004 launch of Traffic Secrets, which earned

over a million dollars in one day. (Without a penny of paid

advertising!)

4. Online Advertising and Promotion

Pay-Per-Click advertising such as those offered by Google

AdWords and other companies presents another viable marketing

route. Keywords (the exact words typed into a search engine)

fuel a large portion of the web's activity, keyword marketing

has become a major driving force behind most of the economic

transactions on the web. This is a very lucrative sector for

those Internet marketers who know exactly what they're doing.

Then there is the whole section of SEO experts and consultants

who command high prices for positioning companies or products

in the top positions on the major search engines. Acquiring

organic Top 10 search results (SERPs) will greatly determine the

profitability of your online product or company.

5. Affiliate Marketing

One of the least understood, yet one of the most profitable

forms of Internet marketing is affiliate marketing. An online

marketer can join any affiliate program and promote its products

or services on the Internet. You market the products, find

customers for the company and receive a cut or commission

for each sale you make from your marketing efforts. These

commissions can run anywhere from 2% to over 50%. One affiliate

click can earn you anywhere from a few cents to several

hundreds of dollars.

Major third party affiliate programs or companies such as

Commission Junction, LinkShare, Amazon, Shareasale...

acts as a brokerage or go-between representing thousands of

Top Brand companies such as Sony, Apple, Dell... to online

affiliate marketers. Marketers can join a program such as

Commission Junction or LinkShare and be able to promote and

market hundred of top quality products or services online. They

can consolidate their affiliate marketing through these

third party programs.

Perhaps the most common business model for the majority

of online marketers is the last example, or a combination

of advertising and affiliate sales. Many work-from-home

professionals have adopted this business model. They have

created site or sites on the topic that interests them and

of which they have or have gained some expert knowledge.

Once these sites become established and gathering a large

amount of targeted web traffic each day, making a nice income

can only be a matter of putting the Google AdSense code on

their pages and placing a few appropriate affiliate

links on their sites.

The more traffic these marketers deliver to their sites,

the more income they earn. The more unique content they create,

the more income they earn. The more web sites they design,

the more income they earn.

What many people outside of the web marketing field fail

to realize, the Internet is a 24/7/365 business. The Internet

is always on and working for you. It is automatically producing

income for you 24 hours of the day, while you're sleeping, while

you're enjoying a nice meal with friends, or even while you're

on vacation.

Internet marketing can provide you with a lifestyle that is totally

liberating --- you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can

be your own boss, set your own hours and work from the comfort

of your own home. Plus your whole online Internet business can be

automated so it basically runs itself.

Internet marketing is totally flexible. You can adjust your workload to

suit your own work habits. Internet marketing is scalable, once

you have learned how to make your first dollar, it is only

a simple matter of repeating and scaling up what you did to

earn that dollar. Computers and the Internet makes it just as

easy to handle a thousand sales as it is to handle one sale.

As Internet marketing becomes better known, it will gradually earn

more and more respect. It will become a well recognized profession

that many will aspire to and follow as a life long career. Mainly because

Internet marketing will give you the freedom rarely seen in any other

profession.

It offers you mobility, a high standard of living, and a working

environment that can't be beat. It gives you the freedom to follow

your own interests and hobbies; all the while turning those interests

into viable revenue streams that supports the lifestyle of your

own choosing. When it is all said and done, earning a living just

doesn't get any better than this.

3. Better work-life balance. Do you know how enslaving it is to be stuck with your 9-5 job that does not pay you anywhere near what you actually need to make ends meet. With internet marketing, you get a better work-life balance since you can work from home and set your own goals. You just have to set down your goals of how much you want to earn with your online business and go for it! You can work from home and spend more time with your beloved ones.

4. You can start building your internet marketing business while working part time, until you are ready to get into it full time. You can still keep your job that pays the bills while you are building your internet marketing "empire". No pressure - you set your targets and you go from there! With an internet marketing business, you can work on it around your current job or commitments. It's unlike other types of businesses where if you start, you have to be involved 'hands-on' full time straight away.

5. Small initial capital outlay. Most businesses require you to have a huge amount of savings to get started. With internet marketing, you can start on any shoe string budget and gradually build your business. You can start an internet marketing business by joining an affiliate program for free and market it using the free or cheap advertising methods and start getting some checks coming in.

6. Low operating costs. With other businesses, you will be looking at high monthly bills to cover personnel, rent etc. With internet marketing type of a business, you have no huge operating costs. Your main costs will be advertising, hosting fees and merchant accounts, among others.

8. You can AUTOMATE your business! This is one of the very attractive aspects of running an internet marketing business. You have heard it before - you can make money while you are asleep or on holiday. You can not do this with other types of businesses. In internet marketing, you can use various tools to automate your business - auto responder email system, payments and credit card processing systems. You just need to set these things up and you are ready to go. Nothing beats having financial security on autopilot. Your website will do the work for your 24 hours every day of the year. This leaves you more time to do other things like marketing or expanding your internet marketing business.

9. Unlimited Market Potential. Your internet marketing business can be as far reaching as you want it to be. Other business will tend to be 'local', but with internet marketing, your market could be world wide. This increases the potential market size you can capture. Access to and use of the internet will continue to grow in the future, so your market will also potentially grow.

10. You do not need your own product. There are various internet marketing business models. You can start making money online without a product, for example, with affiliate marketing. You can market other people's products and earn huge commissions.

11. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Internet marketing is one type of a business where you can simple model yourself on a proven business that works, hence shortening your learning curve. With other types of businesses, you will have to learn as you go, doing 'trial and error', which is costly and frustrating. You do not have to waste time and time figuring it out. There are established experts who have made it in the internet marketing business - just get the blue prints and duplicate it!

12. Free Resources. With other businesses - whatever resource you need, you have to pay for it. In internet marketing, you can get ezines or forums with invaluable tips. If you have pay for something, it's not normally hugely expensive.

Top Ten Internet Marketing Mistakes

2012-11-11T21:12:00.000-08:00

Every Internet Marketer makes mistakes, and those mistakes usually cost you money! It's important that we learn from the mistakes that we make so that we do not make them again, and so that we can gain insight into where we went wrong. I have compiled a list of the 10 most common mistakes Internet Marketers make. My goal is to help you steer clear of these mistakes in the hope that I can save you some money, and time!

=>Mistake #1 - Using the Content Network

When you start a Google PPC campaign you should always remember to turn the content network off. The reason for this is because you do not want to receive traffic from pages with Google AdSense on them as these pages are many times plagued with click fraud and non targeted traffic. If you are not an expert, you should not be using the content network. I do not use the content network because it can cost you an arm and a leg and produce absolutely zero positive results.

To turn the content network off, log into your AdWords account, click on a campaign, then click the "Edit Campaign Settings" button. On the right of the screen "uncheck" the box that says "Content Network". You can leave "Google Search" and "Search Network" checked.

=>Mistake #2 - Too Many Keywords per Ad Group

Limit the amount of keywords per Ad Group to less than 25 keyword (75 if using broad, phrase, and exact match types). Having more than 25 keywords can negatively affect your Quality Score as the more keywords you have, the less relevant they are to the ad. DO NOT put more than 25 keywords in an ad group unless all keywords are very highly relevant.

=>Mistake #3 - Keyword Grouping

When you put your keywords into an Ad Group you need to make sure that they are all very similar and have at least one common keyword. You will want to use the keyword(s) within the ad title and description as much as you can. Here is an example:

Ad Group Name: Internet Marketing

Common Keyword: Internet Marketing

Keywords: internet marketing, internet marketing book, internet marketing resource, internet marketing guide, best internet marketing book, internet marketing ebook, internet marketing help.

AD:

Internet Marketing e-Book

Learn How to Make Money Online

Top Internet Marketing eBook Review

YourSiteName.com

You can see that the common word has been use in the adcopy and that all keywords have the common word Internet Marketing. This is how to properly set up an ad Group.

=>Mistake #4 - Using only Broad Match Type

To optimize your keywords for best performance and highest CTR you need to use Broad, Phrase and Exact Match Type Options. A common mistake is to only use the Broad Match Type as many people are not aware of the other match types.

Broad Keyword: Internet Marketing

Phrase Keyword: "Internet Marketing"

Exact Keyword: [Internet Marketing]

Use all three keywords within your Ad Groups.

=>Mistake #5 - Low Daily Budget

If you are wanting to achieve high amounts of traffic you cannot expect to do so with a low daily budget. If your budget is $5 / day and you set your campaign to reflect this budget, chance are that you will not achieve much traffic at all. Google displays your ads based on a number of factors including daily budget. If your budget is set too low your ads will barely be displayed at all. We recommend setting your daily budget slightly higher than you are actually prepared to pay, then monitor your costs. It's very difficult to get any kind of traffic with a very low daily budget.

=>Mistake #6 - Duplicate URL's

Google only allows one url to be displayed in their search results per keyword and advertiser. If you are advertising the url: http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com, and another advertiser is advertising the same url, only one ad will be displayed. When coming into a new market there is often another advertiser already advertising the url that you would like to. In this case you need to either raise your CPC in order to outbid the competitor, or, create a landing page. Landing pages always convert into sales better as web surfers like to read reviews, comparisons, and opinions about products prior to making a purchase. If you are not getting impressions for some of your Ad Groups, this could be one of the reasons why.

=>Mistake #7 - Keyword Bid Price too High

When you set your bid prices you need to have a limit, and unless you are an experienced marketer and know that your Ad Group / keyword / ad combinations make you sales you shouldn't bid too high. I know that you are anxious to get some traffic, but paying $5.00 per click is much too high. On that note, paying $1.00 is many times too high. Try to keep your bid prices as low as possible while achieving the best position you can. Do not try to get traffic by simply out bidding your competitors. The idea is to outsmart competitors using relevant keyword groups and in turn you will pay less and see better results.

=>Mistake #8 - Ad Positions are Too Low

When trying to get traffic to your site you need to use the Google Traffic Estimator to help you determine how much you should bid per keyword. Many times if your CPC (cost per click) is too low, your position will be greater than 10 and you will not be on the first page of search results. For best traffic try to be in position 2-9 (on the first page of search results in Google). With this being said, it is sometimes very expensive to be on the first page and you may be forced to be in page 2. This is OK because as your Quality Score goes up, so will your positioning. Try to get on the first page, but if you cannot because of the bid price being too high, don't worry, you'll eventually get there by using our techniques to get a better Quality Score.

=>Mistake #9 - Non-Targeted Keywords

If you are advertising a product like WealthyAffiliate.com or Beating Adwords, you may be inclined to use keywords such as:

Marketing, ebook, Affiliate, Money.

The problem with these keywords is that they receive a lot of traffic, which costs you an arm and a leg, but the traffic does not convert into sales. The reason is because the keywords are not targeted enough. If you are selling Beating Adwords, our new Internet Marketing ebook, using the above keywords, the visitors are not necessarily looking for an IM ebook. If someone types in the keyword "Money" they could be looking for help with Microsoft Money, or Currency Exchange Rates. Same with the keyword "ebook". Someone could be looking for a golfing ebook, or how to create an ebook.

You need to make sure that your keywords are highly targeted to what you are selling. For example: Internet Marketing ebook, or Make Money Online would be better choices to replace the keywords mentioned above. The more targeted your keywords are to your product, the better conversions you will see.

=>Mistake #10 - Too Many Ads when Split Testing

Split testing allow you to run more than one ad for an ad group to see which adcopy (the text of the ad) creates a higher CTR. In other words, which ad entices searchers to click more frequently. Split testing should only be done using two ads and no more. This way you can determine which ad performs better. You want to treat split testing as a contest, or even a competition. The better performing ad gets to move on to the next round, while the lower gets replaced by a new competitor.

Limit the number of ads you are running per Ad Group to 2 ads when split testing.

On a final note: Expensive mistakes can be made easily in the world of internet marketing and there is risk as we learn and take on competitive markets. Having mentors and a strong network of supportive colleagues is important, if not imperative for success. There are more and more poeple logging on every day, and the market continues to grow. However, unless you approach internet marketing with an understanding of the pitfalls and a plan for success, it will be difficult to foster lasting success. Internet marketing, in all its hype, is only a business (not a get rich quick scheme.) All successful businesses must begin with a plan.

Law Firm Internet Marketing An Executive Summary Using the Q&A Format - Part I

2012-11-09T02:47:00.000-08:00

What do I need to know first about law firm Internet marketing?

"In modern business, it is not the crook who is feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing." Pablo Casals

There are tons of vendors out there who want to sell you websites and law firm Internet marketing services. Most are honest people who simply don't know what they are doing. In many cases, they are attempting to sell you something that is overpriced and that won't produce you any new clients at all, let alone good clients. The attorneys I have worked with report to me that the whole Internet marketing process confuses them. They don't know who to believe. Some have spent considerable sums already on websites with little or no results. I aim to stop all that. So keep reading.

Do I need law firm Internet marketing?

Yes. According to Reuters News Services by 2007 there will be over nine million legal services searches done online each month. Additionally, prospective clients and clients expect you to have at least a website or think you may be behind the times if you do not. Finally, while the yellow pages are not a good attorney marketing vehicle today they are going away since people are searching the Internet and not going to the yellow pages.

What is/is not law firm Internet marketing?

Having a website is not law firm Internet marketing. At a minimum you do need at least a "brochure website" of a few pages, however, that website is unlikely to get you new business and is definitely not Internet marketing. The rest of this article (in four parts) is going to help you get clear on what Internet marketing is all about.

Where does Internet marketing begin?

Law firm Internet marketing begins with you becoming an educated consumer and then keyword research. Researching your practice's best keywords will tell us what words your prospective clients are using to search for legal services on search engines, what legal services your prospective clients are the most interested in, what your prospective client is thinking, how to attract these prospective clients to your site at the search engine instead of going to your competitors site, what your competitors are doing/not doing, what content to write for each of your top keywords (recommend writing a page each to at least the top 20 keywords), what are the words to use for PPC law firm advertising and how to begin search engine optimization. If you have not adequately completed keyword research using software tools like Wordtracker you have not done adequate keyword research and are likely to fail at your law firm Internet marketing.

You mentioned, "...what content to write for each of your top keywords...". What are you talking about exactly?

I am talking about what is known as the CTPM model of Internet marketing developed by Ken Evoy M.D. in 1997. This model works because it is in total alignment with how the Internet works. The C is the first part of the model and it stands for Content - create in demand content (you determine what is in demand from the keyword research). The T is Traffic - attract targeted traffic. The P is for pre-sell - pre-sell the targeted traffic (using such things as newsletters, RSS feeds, free downloads, e-books, auto responders, audio, video, and teleclasses). The M is Monetize - this is where you convert these pre-sold prospective clients to clients easily.

You mentioned, "...tools like Wordtracker..." with respect to keyword research in law firm Internet marketing. What is Wordtracker?

Wordtracker is a software tool that can be used to thoroughly research your keywords. Wordtracker is at least arguably the best keyword research tool in the marketplace and there are others. You can go to http://www.Wordtracker.com to get all the details. Your vendor can use this tool easily and should use it for keyword research to put your law firm Internet marketing on the right track from the beginning if at all possible.

You also mentioned "...how to begin search engine optimization." What is meant by search engine optimization (SEO) and exactly what is it and how does it fit into law firm Internet marketing?

There is no mystery in SEO in particular and law firm Internet marketing in general so don't let anyone bamboozle you on that one. As I said earlier SEO begins with appropriate keyword research. If you have not done that you are dead in the water since this is the foundation of everything that comes after in law firm Internet marketing. The next step is the "C" or content mentioned earlier in the CTPM model. You will need to write "keyword optimized" content to each of your top 20 keywords or another way to say this is writing your content in the way that search engines want to see it so they rank you higher than your competitors. Your content needs to fit together in a site plan (the term site plan refers to in what order your pages will appear and how they link to one another) that has an appropriate pyramid type structure. This pyramid type structure includes your home page (the peak of the pyramid) themed keyword phrase being supported by all the tier two pages (the next layer of the pyramid) and their tier three pages (usually the base of your pyramid although you could go deeper) support them resulting in higher rankings for all of your pages. There are some technical aspects to SEO as well like the use of clean HTML, heading text, meta tags, alt tags, site map, etc., however, mercifully I won't go into those since they should be known to your technical person. The bottom line is put nothing in the way of the search engines spiders (spiders are sent out from the search engine to "read" the sites on the Internet) being able to "read" your site like fancy flash pages get in the way big time for instance. To know more in depth about keyword optimization you can go to Wordtracker.com where they have a really fine Keyword Research Guide if you want to know more of the details. All of what I just told you is known as "on site optimization" strategies for law firm Internet marketing. There is also "off site" optimization as well involved in SEO. Off site optimization means getting one-way links from high-ranking pages of other sites that are related to your top 20 keywords (there we are again with that keyword research being vital) that link to your site. Search engines see these links like a "vote" for your site. The more high quality "votes" you have the higher they will rank your site. The term "link popularity" is used to describe this process in law firm Internet marketing. The royal road to high quality links is having (here he goes again) keyword researched and keyword optimized quality content on your website. You get these links from website directories, article directories, online forums, press releases, etc. I left out reciprocal links because most SEO authorities think they are no longer worth the effort since they are difficult to get and don't really contribute much (or can even hurt) to your page ranking.

We have completed the first part of law firm Internet marketing at this point. In part two we will go into Google Page Ranking, dealing with your competitors, RSS, the factors surrounding costs of law firm Internet marketing and more. I am committed to you being a master of law firm Internet marketing at least to the point you will get new clients from your efforts and not get taken to the cleaners by vendors who may not know any better.

Can You Become a Professional Internet Marketing Consultant?

2012-11-06T14:11:00.000-08:00

Becoming a professional internet marketing consultant is a
business opportunity that individuals who are well-versed in e-
business and internet marketing may be interested in pursuing. If
you are new to internet marketing, you could certainly become a
professional internet marketing consultant; however, a lot of
preparation is needed because providing professional services as
an internet marketing consultant requires knowledge and
experience with a variety of different types of internet
marketing.

If you are interested in become a professional internet marketing
consultant you should analyze your internet marketing skills,
identify your strengths and weaknesses, and craft a plan for
educating yourself and strengthening your internet marketing
skills in areas that are lacking. Developing your expertise in
the field of internet marketing prior to offering services as an
internet marketing consultant is crucial.

As an internet marketing consultant you will come in contact with
a variety of clients with varying levels of knowledge about
business and internet marketing. Some will be completely new to
business and will need basic guidance from their internet
marketing consultant in regard to basic business matters as well
as entry-level internet marketing concepts. On the other hand,
you may have business professionals who are seasoned in business
and marketing but are clueless about internet marketing. Last but
not least are the e-business professionals who commission an
internet marketing consultant for research, planning and internet
marketing services including management of marketing campaigns.

As an internet marketing consultant you can provide full-service
consultations, or you can target specific internet marketing
areas in which you have gained expertise. Sometimes the latter is
best because not only is there less for you to learn which
enables you to truly provide expert services, but a narrowed
scope of services can also provide a niche market which gives you
potential for developing a thriving practice as an internet
marketing consultant.

Niche areas you may wish to pursue as an internet marketing
consultant include:

1. Market research

2. Preparation of marketing plans and/or business plans

3. Search engine optimization

4. Pay-per-click campaign management

5. Email marketing

6. Viral marketing

7. Link campaign management

8. Ezine advertising

9. Newsletter publishing

10. Distribution of expert articles

11. Media campaigns

12. Copywriting

13. Website development

14. Web hosting

15. Coaching services

16. Training and education

17. Publication of internet marketing books

18. Operation of a subscription service with

information about internet marketing

These are all services that an internet marketing consultant may
offer. The service menu for an internet marketing consultant may
focus on one specific type of internet marketing, a few different
types of services, or full-service internet marketing
consultation that includes all of the suggested services and even
more. While providing some of the service offerings would require
an internet marketing consultant to pursue self-development
opportunities through continuing education and experience, some
areas are easy to master without extensive experience or
training.

When you specialize in a specific area of internet marketing, the
fact that you are specialized can actually build your credibility
as a professional internet marketing consultant. You can also
participate in online forums about internet marketing or publish
expert articles about internet marketing which can position you
as an expert in internet marketing consultant further building
trust and credibility which will enhance your business through
word of mouth referrals.

With the exception of web hosting, no expensive equipment is
needed to provide services as an internet marketing consultant.
To provide services as an internet marketing consultant you will
need access to various resources and publications which will keep
you abreast of changes in the internet marketing industry. Basic
computer equipment and some specialized software may also be
necessary. The most important factor to remember is - to be a
professional and credible internet marketing consultant you must
develop expertise in whichever area of internet marketing you
wish to consult in.

Becoming a Successful Internet Marketing Company Affiliate

2012-11-04T05:27:00.000-08:00

Participating in affiliate programs as an internet marketing
company affiliate is a viable way to make money on the internet
without having your own products and services for sale. In
essence, as an internet marketing company affiliate, you market
other companies' products and services for a fee.

Generally affiliate programs are either one-tier or two-tier
programs which means if you participate in a one-tier program,
you get paid for referrals that you send to the company for which
you are an internet marketing company affiliate. If you
participate in a two-tier program, you also get paid for
referring other affiliates to the program.

In most affiliate programs, an internet marketing company
affiliate gets paid either a percentage of sales that result from
their referrals, or a flat fee per lead or click-through that
result from their internet marketing efforts.

The defective line of thinking that leads an internet marketing
company affiliate to failure and disappointment is the thought
that being an internet marketing company affiliate is an easy,
get-rich-quick business opportunity. Unsuccessful internet
marketing company affiliates are those who don't realize that in
order to make money with affiliate programs you have to actively
market them.

The error that is common to a new internet marketing company
affiliate is that they launch a website to display links, or even
pages, for the purpose of promoting various affiliate programs
for which they are an internet marketing company affiliate for,
but they don't actively market their website or their affiliate
products. As a result, their website doesn't generate any revenue
or generates very little revenue.

To be a successful internet marketing company affiliate you
absolutely have to market your affiliate products and services.
You can actually make loads of money as an internet marketing
company affiliate, but affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-
quick scheme. It is a business opportunity that must be taken
seriously and it does require work, some internet marketing
knowledge, and some funding for launching an aggressive internet
marketing campaign.

Because you don't have to put out money for product development
or inventory, starting an internet business as an internet
marketing company affiliate may not require as much of an
investment as other types of internet businesses, but assuming
that it is a zero-investment venture is flawed thinking.

For most programs, as an internet marketing company affiliate you
have to have a website through which you market your affiliate
programs because some affiliate programs view your website as
part of their approval process and some only allow you to use
affiliate links to them on a website. In addition to the
investment involved with website development an internet
marketing company affiliate also needs funding for internet
marketing of the affiliate programs.

Common internet marketing methods used by an internet marketing
company affiliate to promote affiliate programs include search
engine marketing, email marketing, linking campaigns,
distribution of expert articles, viral marketing, and
participation in online newsgroups and forums.

Purchasing advertising through pay-per-click search engines,
ezines, directories and so forth is also a method of internet
marketing that is conducive to promoting affiliate products and
services as an internet marketing company affiliate.

One thing is for certain. In order to make serious money as an
internet marketing company affiliate, you simply have to market
the products and services of your affiliate programs.

Some website operators join affiliate programs and become an
internet marketing company affiliates for the purpose of
supplementing their income a little while providing their website
visitors with easy access to products and services that may be
beneficial to them. For them, actively marketing affiliate
programs may not be a necessity because the affiliate programs
are not their primary source of income.

However, if you desire to be an internet marketing company
affiliate who generates revenue solely from affiliate programs,
you must be an active internet marketer.

Internet Marketing: A Reflection after One Year in the Business

2012-11-01T06:39:00.000-07:00

As autumn and cold crawl their way into Canada and the sun sets before 4 p.m., this darkness and quietness bring along a time of reflection for all of us. The assessment I want to share with you is about internet marketing. Although my list of things to do seams never-ending, I am very happy to realize all I have accomplished in less than a year ( over 40 active web sites, a hypnosis for childbirth program that already got international recognition, over 100 published articles on the net, etc)

I have been in internet marketing for a little less than a year and I have attended ten internet marketing seminars in 2006. I am the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things. I want to share my findings with people who are starting, thinking of starting or even stalling in the internet marketing business.

The ten biggest pieces of wisdom I want to share with you about internet marketing I have learned are:

1)The price of Internet Marketing products is highly exaggerated. Many marketers are comfortable taking hundreds of dollars for useless e-books or software. They are able to overcharge such big money for two main reasons: their customers believe their well-written sales letter promising them to become a millionaire by working only two hours per day. The second reason is that since other people have raised the bar before them, they feel comfortable with overcharging for their products.

I encourage everyone who is about to purchase any internet marketing product to take a deep breath, back up and do an internet search. Most probably, the product or its equivalent is already available for a fraction of the price on the internet.

My opinion is that no e-book is worth that much unless it provides me with the code of the safe at the bank for this internet marketer.

2)In the internet marketing business there are dreamers and there are doers. I have repeatedly met some people at internet marketing seminars who have not taken action and just keep buying the next product promising them a fast an effortless income. My experience is that it takes work (but then again I don't see it as work as I enjoy it very much) at least in the beginning to secure a decent income in the internet marketing business.

3)Many internet marketers made their fortunes by selling products to people who want to make a fortune in the internet marketing business. Willie Crawford draws the parallel that the people who got the richest during the gold rush were the ones selling shovels and sticks to the gold diggers.

Anyone interested in internet marketing has to ask themselves if they have just been enriching the people selling them promises to make millions in the internet business.

4)There are basically three categories of internet marketers out there: the ones who just want your money, the ones who give you a good deal for your money and the ones that genuinely care about helping you making good money by sharing their efficient tactics.

I will, of course, not name any names here and I think that deep deep down people know what kind of marketers they are. I can tell you that upon trying to do a mental list of the genuine, caring ones, I had enough of my ten fingers to do the complete list.

5)The real successful internet marketers are often not on stage at seminars. I have met some very successful and knowledgeable people by talking to the person sitting next to me at seminars. I highly recommend you get to know the attendees at any given seminar; you will be surprised to sometimes find out that they know more than the speaker upfront and wiling to share everything with you...for free.

6)A masterminding group is a great resource to learn and share tricks and tips about internet marketing. The rule is to be part of a group that is about (or even better, a little above) your level of knowledge and accomplishments in internet marketing.

7)Action is power. Whatever piece of gold nugget you learn is useless if you do not take action on it. Many people are eternal course takers but have yet to get their first web site up. Even the best intended internet marketer will not make a penny if he doesn't get his product out there. I have heard numerous times the advice to put out your product and fix the fine details later. It has been a little challenging for a perfectionist like me but, honestly, it works great. Often, customer comments allow me to go back and improve my product in ways that I would have never thought of.

8)Internet marketing is a number's game. If you put all your eggs in one basket, you might rise very fast very high and then tumble down as fast. Diversity is the foundation for a solid business.

9)There will always be new things to learn. One cannot stay in their basement and hope that the world will not change. The internet marketing world is one that changes at the speed of light and one has to keep informed of the new trends and developments.

10)The Internet is here to stay. Internet has been growing at an astonishing rate and those who got in the game will be ahead of the pack in this exciting and powerful window to the world. The possibilities are infinite.

Law Firm Internet Marketing - An Executive Summary Using the Q&A Format - Part II

2012-10-30T05:18:00.000-07:00

You mentioned "...your page ranking." What is page ranking and how do I get my pages ranked in law firm Internet marketing?

You don't have to do anything to get your web pages ranked in law firm Internet marketing. It happens when the search engines send their spiders out to read your site. Google Page Rank is the standard on the Internet for success since 47% of the people on the Internet go to Google to do their searching and the other major search engines (Yahoo and MSN) use similar models as Google. If you rank high at Google you will rank high anywhere. The Google Page Rank system is from 0 to 10 with 10 being high and 0 being low. Probably more than 98% of sites on the Internet are ranked 0, 1, or 2. I do recommend you go to Google and get a Google Tool Bar since then you can see the Google Page Rank they have given you and every other web page you ever visit. This is a very useful tool in law firm Internet marketing. First it tells you how you are doing with your website. Next it tells you how well your competitors are doing with their websites, which tells you what you need to do to get a higher Google Page Rank so you are above them in the search engine results. Finally, it tells you how well your vendor has done for you in law firm Internet marketing and if you are searching for a new vendor it can tell you if they know what they are doing since they should show you sites they have built that have good Google Page Ranks. For sure that vendor's site should have a good Google Page Rank don't you think? There is another ranking system called Alexa that is not one you need to be as aware of based on Alexa toolbar users (well over 10 million of them last I knew) and where they are going. You can get their toolbar at Alexa.com. Alexa ranking is based on the lowest number being the best and the highest number being the worst. A low number is under 500,000 thus indicating a website that is in the top 1% of all websites in the world in terms of the traffic that comes to their site. For example CNN.com is #26, GE.com is 4,719, Google is #3, Yahoo is #1 and MSN is #2. The poor Alexa ranks are in the millions with most websites on the Internet being Alexa ranked "no data" not being at all unusual. You site is likely to be "no data" ranked, as are most lawyer sites by far. So be more concerned about your Google Rank.

You have been talking about "competitors" a lot in. Who are my competitors in law firm Internet marketing?

Your competitors in law firm Internet marketing are those people who are trying to rank high at the search engines for the same keywords as you are trying to rank high on. If your down the street lawyer competitor knows nothing about keyword research and how to build a law firm Internet marketing system then he will not be much of a competitor for you on the Internet. Fortunately or unfortunately most lawyers are doing it all wrong with vendors who are over charging and under delivering. You have a great opportunity to get out in front of the pack and stay there because by the time they wake up you will be so far out in front they almost certainly won't be able to catch you in law firm Internet marketing.

Some way back you mentioned "RSS". What is RSS in law firm Internet marketing?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". Trying to stay up with all the new information on the Internet is clearly difficult given the size and growth of the Internet. What if you had a really simple way to get the new information posted at your favorite websites or get their newsletters without them getting caught in spam filters? That is what RSS is designed to do. You sign up on the web site of one of your favorites for RSS and they will send information (text, audio or video) to your RSS news reader on your computer or to your web based news reader (I use Yahoo.com). Where can you get these news readers? Here are some options:

For Windows

Newzcrawler.com

newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdId=FeedDemon

awasu.com/

For Mac OS X

newsfirerss.com/

newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=NetNewsWire

For Web Based

bloglines.com/

http://my.yahoo.com/

newsgator.com/ngs/default.aspx

While this technology is still new it is growing. Some Internet marketing experts think it will overtake email as the "killer application" on the Internet in a few years since it fixes the spam problem and reduces the number of newsletters coming to people's in boxes. It is good but probably not that good. Right now I would put it on your site as a useful tool in law firm Internet marketing if you offer a newsletter or add content regularly since people who use RSS are going to be very interested prospects if they sign up on your site using RSS.

You said earlier "over charging and under delivering." What should I expect to spend on an Internet marketing site with a vendor that can deliver excellent results?

You may or may not have to "start over" if you have a site now. Also know some vendors charge by the hour, some by the project and some a mixture of the two. If you are looking for a "value vendor" (one who is not the cheapest but also not the most expensive) to build a new website with all of the factors I have spoken about in place you will need to expect to spend from $8,000 to $12,000 for the new website. At this level of spending the website should have 20 pages or maybe a few more in total with the entire "on site" SEO in place. The fee for the site should include the services of a Webmaster (think of this person as being much like a "general contractor" who is building your dream house), keyword researcher, web designer, technician, and website copywriter. If you are looking for someone who is going to do the ongoing webmaster role (think here of having a professional Internet marketer on you team) taking you from where you are now with an existing site to excellent results then work with you ongoing to assess your current website circumstances in detail, make a plan for how to improve your circumstances via your current vendor, manage your current vendor so they implement that plan (or if necessary make the recommendation to you to leave your current vendor as well as find you another more appropriate vendor) you can expect to pay around $70 to $90 per hour to get a quality USA based person to do the job for you.

If you want to view his in depth "Internet Marketing Guide" you can go to http://www.CannonFireMarketing.com. Richard's guide will take you much, much deeper than this executive briefing can. Richard is one of twenty-five SBI Certified Webmasters that you could "shop" if you desire at: http://directory.sitesell.com/certified/index.html. In the interest of full disclosure Richard built my medium size site (and growing) and has been a valuable addition to my team. Ken Evoy, MD, that I mentioned earlier, developed the CTPM model of Internet marketing that currently serves over 30,000 primarily small businesses with their Internet marketing needs, founded and owns the SBI system.

That is more than I expected to spend on law firm Internet marketing. Are there other options?

Yes. If you don't currently want to budget for $8,000 to $12,000 you could begin with a 10 to 15 page site but be sure to do the keyword research (Richard Cannon can do this for you and is a master at it, one of the other SBI Certified Webmasters or maybe your current vendor). The lower number of pages would bring the cost down considerably. Later you can add pages (a must in law firm Internet marketing - like a page per month for solo and small firms). You could also go to guru.com (a virtual marketplace complete with a mediated process) where you can find cheap vendors (think India, Singapore, New Zealand, South Africa and Europeans here at $12 to $50 per hour) as well as value vendors (think $50 to $100 per hour in the USA). If all you want is a "brochure holder" type of site (so you don't look behind the times) you can get one of those built without the keyword research for maybe as little as $800 to $1,000 by a value vendor or half that or less by a "cheap vendor", however, you will likely "throw that away" when you decide to move up to law firm Internet marketing type site. If you really, really want to go inexpensive you could go to Yahoo.com's home page and scroll down on the left side of the page to "small business" and click on that where you can buy something as a decent brochure holder type of site at a cheap price per month.

OK friends, we have completed part two on law firm Internet marketing. In part three we will cover should you have a vendor that has done lawyers websites in the past over a "plain" vendor, why do I keep mentioning the number of pages on a site, how to avoid overpriced vendors, what your domain name should be, intellectual property issues to consider and more. So keep on reading with part three to learn more on law firm Internet marketing.

Innovative Internet Marketing Ideas - Advantages and Disadvantages

2012-10-27T08:23:00.000-07:00

If you are a business owner or even if you are about to become one, there is a good chance that you have heard of innovative internet marketing ideas before. Although you may have heard of these ideas before, do you know what they are? Do you know what they can do for you and your business? Are you using the same old marketing techniques used by everyone else in the industry and struggling for traffic and business? Lets examine the advantages and disadvantages of using innovative internet marketing ideas to promote your business.

Before you start to examine the advantages and disadvantages of innovative Internet marketing, it may be a good idea to examine exactly what it is. As a business owner or a soon to be business owner, you likely already know what Internet marketing is. Marketing is getting your business out into the general public; it is done by targeting your intended audience, your customers. That targeting is done by way of the internet; thus the title, internet marketing. It is also important to understand how to be innovative and how that ties into internet marketing. Innovation is another word that is often used to describe something new; therefore, innovative Internet marketing ideas are relatively new ideas, particularly ideas that have just recently been developed.

When it comes to innovative internet marketing ideas and your business, you will find that there are a number of benefits. One of those benefits is the ease of use. Even if you do not have a large amount of computer experience, you will often find the internet easy to use. Whether you are interested in making your business an online website, starting a business newsletter, or conducting a demographic analysis online, you should easily be able to do so. Even if you do not know how to start up your own newsletter, do an online poll, or make your own website, you should be able to learn, often in no time at all. The internet offers information on starting all kinds of businesses.

Once you have chosen your niche, or specific area or product that you would like to promote or sell, try searching the internet for similar products or services. In this way, you can determine any potential competition. If competition exists, you can decide if you want to compete, or find a complimentary product or service to promote. If competition doesn't exist, and there is a market looking for answers to a question, this would be a perfect niche market to begin a business in.

In addition to using the Internet to put your innovative marketing ideas to into motion, you can also use the Internet to find those ideas. Using the Internet to find innovative Internet marketing ideas is a relatively quick and easy process. By staying up-to-date on the latest business and marketing news or by performing a standard Internet search, you can easily be kept in the loop, when it comes to Internet marketing ideas, particularly new ones. If you have a niche that you are interested in, often signing up for related newsletters or chat rooms can lead to the discovery of a new business idea or marketing technique. If you put those ideas into motion, as soon as you hear about them, your business may be given an edge above the rest of its competition. In fact, a new innovative Internet marketing idea may be just what you need to get your business up and running.

What is also nice about innovative Internet marketing is that, although it is relatively easy to develop your own marketing ideas and execute them, you don't necessarily have to. For example, there are a large number of individuals who specialize in Internet marketing. Those individuals, who are often referred to as internet marketing specialists, can be found online. An internet marketing specialist is a trained professional who can not only come up with new ways to market your internet business online, but they can also execute those ideas for you, for a reasonable fee. Whether you don't have the time to develop an effective marketing plan or if you want to avoid the hassle of doing so, an internet marketing specialist may be able to offer you assistance.

Although there are a large number of advantages to using innovative marketing ideas to promote your business, there are also a few disadvantages to doing so as well. One of those disadvantages is the fact that innovative marketing ideas are new. With new marketing ideas, they have sometimes yet to be tested or proven; therefore, you are really given no guarantees that a new, innovative Internet marketing idea really will work. Of course, it is important to remember that with business, there are always risks. Trying a new innovative internet marketing idea may not work out to your advantage, but it may also be the best thing that has ever happened to your business.

Internet Marketing Through Partnerships

2012-10-24T09:17:00.000-07:00

In the cyberspace business world it is easy to
get lost. Therefore the term Internet
marketing has become the hottest of topics.
There are a thousand different Internet
marketing strategies, but what Internet
marketing strategies are the ones that truly
work? Look up Internet marketing on the
Internet and you will be bombarded with terms
like blog posting, article directory
submission and affiliate marketing. With so
much out there it's easy to feel you're in an
Internet marketing avalanche. You just want an
Internet marketing tool that's going to be
effective. Why is that so hard to find?

Perhaps the solution to your Internet
marketing frustrations is something called
joint venture marketing. How can joint venture
marketing solve your Internet marketing
dilemmas? Allow me to draw you a picture.

Imagine two conventional stores, one a
clothing store the other a shoe store. Can you
tell where this Internet marketing metaphor is
going? A client for either store is running a
high probability of needing the other store's
services as well. The same principle can be
applied to your Internet marketing needs. The
clothing store promotes the shoe store to
their clients; the shoe store does likewise,
both business benefit. If it will work in
conventional business then chances are it will
work for Internet marketing purposes as well.

What kinds of other online businesses would
compliment yours? That is the first question
to ask in determining how to use partnerships
to expand your Internet marketing. Ask
yourself why your clients buy from you.

Successful Internet marketing can only happen
when you understand your client. Then ask
yourself what associated needs your client may
have. Now your Internet marketing journey is
well on its way.

As soon as you find a successful online
business that can compliment the needs of your
client then your Internet marketing search is
nearing fruition. Now you can build a
relationship with that business that will see
Internet marketing success for both of you.

But be prepared to work on it. Successful
Internet marketing is more than just carrying
links to each other's sites. It needs to be a
well thought out Internet marketing strategy
that will drive people to both businesses.

When that is working on both ends of the
Internet marketing partnership both businesses
will prosper. Both businesses will succeed
because the Internet marketing campaign
combines the strength of both businesses into
one Internet marketing whole. The result is a
beneficial Internet marketing campaign for
both parties.

An additional word of advice: Once you have
found a potential Internet marketing partner,
do your best to make the initial meeting a
personal one. Given the global nature of the
Internet, a face-to-face meeting may not be
possible, but there is always the phone. Your
Internet marketing search has taken a lot of
work so that now that you have made a choice
in an Internet marketing partner you need to
give that choice the best chance of responding
favorably to you. The more personal the
initial contact the better the chance that you
will solidify an Internet marketing partner.

Internet Marketing Strategies - Generating Maximum Customer Acquisition

2012-10-22T00:19:00.000-07:00

Marketing strategies are applicable to all types of investment, with an emphasis on Internet marketing. This is because the Internet has become a highly successful marketplace, filled with endless opportunities of creating each individual's niche, while maximizing any profit that can be earned from it. However, to achieve this successful niche, individuals need to have effective marketing strategies that will help achieve their successful goal of earning more and staying there. Also, always keep in mind there are millions of websites in the world who are competing for success in the same marketing area as we are. To stay successful and to grow, Internet marketing businesses must each stay afloat amidst this tight competition on a continuous basis.

In order to create well-sound internet marketing strategies, we do not build it without a strong basis to develop it from. Internet marketing strategies need to be integrated with a corporation's marketing objectives, policies, and tactics into a cohesive whole. Keep in mind that formulating internet marketing strategies need to effectively carry out the corporation's mission, such as providing high-quality products or services at the lowest possible cost, and at the same time not sacrificing the profitability of the investment.

In a board of directors' meeting, it was stated that the revenues, as well as the volume of sales made during the previous month was comparatively lower compared to the revenues and volume of sales made several months ago. This decrease was more than what was expected, and present statistics show that the decreasing trend might continue due to uncontrollable market conditions. Once the problem was not addressed, the revenue of the corporation would suffer, resulting to streamlining the corporate organization, which would affect most of the employees.

As a corporate executive, what can be done to contribute to solve the problem of the corporation? It is a serious responsibility to get the business back on track, as well as ensuring the employees that they still have their job. At this point, what we need is to formulate effective internet marketing strategies that will address the problem of decreasing revenue and sales volume of the corporation.

The object in mind is to keep focus on the purpose of internet marketing strategies -- helping get more potential customers, more earnings out of sales that can be made, and declaring an Internet marketing career to be a successful one. Listed are tips on how these internet marketing strategies will affect an internet marketing business, with emphasis in a positive point of view.

Begin with what is available now, without spending a lot of extra money. What are the possible edges of the marketing product or business as a whole, compared to others? Does it stand out among other businesses with similar products? Being unique is one of the internet marketing strategies that will help get potential clients, eventually making the new business a success. Nothing will beat the expertise of developing a product, safely satisfying the needs of the target market.

Take the product to the internet, giving it a unique image over the web. Use the power of words and images in expressing what the new product offers to the public. Make the description of the product as simple as possible, yet straight to the point.

One of the keys to internet marketing success is the "click through" strategy, where a product's attraction to the customer will cause them to click on the product's new ad, getting them to "find and go to the product". This new product that is being offered must be significant to what the customer is looking for, thus the use of online surveys will help determine the products that are "in" and "out". The utilization of online surveys is one of the most important internet marketing strategies.

These are just a few of the internet marketing strategies that can be used for any new online business. Of course, there are still many internet marketing strategies that are available. Try to stay with the most basic ones at the beginning. All complex internet marketing strategies take their start from the basic, making basic internet marketing strategies just as effective as the complex ones.

Keep in mind the purpose of marketing -- getting close or going beyond the return of investment within the least amount of time - is using the least financial spending possible at all times. These internet marketing strategies will help to achieve the purpose of marketing, as well as address any future problems that may be encountered along the internet marketing career. Such internet marketing strategies will serve as the main foundation of any marketing plan -- it must contain definite actions that will be implemented, addressing the problem of the corporation. For instance, an individual may use the strategy of offering low-cost yet high quality products or services to attract more consumers or convince potential clients to patronize your new product. By using such strategy, there is a high chance that the business can be compensated for any previous losses, getting the online business onto a profitable level.

Anatomy Of An Internet Marketing System

2012-10-19T05:20:00.000-07:00

Please let me tell you about the Internet marketing

systems I use and find helpful. This information may be

of some benefit to you, especially if your goal is to

monetize your site or earn an income from your online

marketing.

My name is Titus Hoskins and I own and operate a very

modest marketing website called http://www.bizwaremagic.com

I have been designing web pages and sites since 1998.

I have an Art/Education background but in the last

couple of years I have been studying online marketing

systems and using them.

Yes, studying them, since I have an art background I like

to examine beneath the surface of things or structures in

order to get a clearer picture. I like to see the whole

picture. The big picture. But the underlying elements behind

these complex systems interests me the most. What's beneath

the surface excites me, the structure holding everything

in place. How they are designed, the methods and tools

used to make these marketing systems work.

Keep in mind, I still feel a bit funny calling myself an

Internet marketer. Last week my marketing efforts make me

around a thousand dollars; don't know if that qualifies me

as an Internet marketer or not. Probably not. Most of the

people I associate and have contact with, usually make that

in a day -- the real smart ones make that in an hour.

A thousand dollars in one hour?

How is that possible? Well, the marketing experts who

earn the big d's -- usually have complex automated marketing

systems set up and operating on the Internet. These systems

start with their own products but quickly expands and builds

with large opt-in lists or ezines, 1000's of affiliates,

large JV networks, multi-sites, viral marketing, membership

forums, brandable ebooks, online marketing tools/resources

and the list goes on...

No doubt you may have stumbled across some of these

marketing systems on the Internet... one of the first

I really encountered was Internet Marketing Center run by

the late Corey Rudl who died tragically in a car crash at

the young age of 34. I made my first affiliate check

through Corey's system and it changed the way I looked

at the Internet forever. And the check was only $5!

What made me earn that $5 was not only my own efforts but

more importantly the whole marketing system behind IMC.

It took an ordinary webmaster and showed him how to market

on the web. It showed me the way. More importantly, it

also taught me Internet marketing is a skill anyone

can learn.

These marketing systems can be good places for the

beginning marketer to learn those skills. There are many

marketing systems quietly working the Internet. Some of

best (in my opinion) are Ken Evoy's whole Site Sell system,

Marlon Sanders Higher Response Marketing, John Reese's

Traffic Secrets, Bryan Winter's PushButton Publishing, Jeff

Mulligan's CBmalls, Nitro Marketing...

These Internet marketing systems are all different, yet

they all have common elements or features that make them

very effective and very powerful marketing systems. A close

examination of the different components or parts might

give you a better understanding of what makes these

Internet marketing systems work.

Here's a list of different parts of an effective Internet

Marketing system:

* Founder or Helm: All these marketing systems have a strong

leader or founder at the helm. A very vocal and forceful

communicator or spokesperson is needed as a focal point.

And like any company, its only as good as the person leading

it. Because the Internet is still a very 'scary' place for

the average user; a friendly outgoing spokesperson is

needed to break those barriers (real or imaginary) down.

* Unique Product or Products: Most of the effective

marketing systems have their own products to market.

These can be digital info products, web building/hosting

packages, or even self-contained marketing systems. Or all

of the above. Some popular products that come to mind would

include Ken Evoy's whole Site Sell and SiteBuildIt line,

or Jeff Mulligan's CBmalls promoting the well known digital

download affiliate site ClickBank.

* Databases or Lists: All these systems collect and keep

large databases or opt-in permission contact lists of

customers and potential customers. The real net value of

any marketing system is in the quantity and more importantly

the quality of its lists. All deliver a weekly or daily ezine

or ezines to these lists. Consider these Databases as the

engines that empowers any Internet marketing system.

* JV Networks: Most have large Joint Venture Networks or

contacts that will kick-start any new product. Momentum and

sales are created with these JV partners. An ideal JV partner

is a well respected online marketer with very responsive and

very large opt-in lists. If Databases are like engines, JV

networks will fill those engines with the fuel they need.

* Affiliates: The best marketing systems use 1000's of

affiliates to promote and market their products. This is

usually done in-house with their own affiliate program or

onsite software set up. Some use third party affiliate

programs like ClickBank, 1ShoppingCart, Commission Junction,

LinkShare, or Shareasale. Your ignition.

* AutoResponders: One of the most effective marketing tool

these systems use, autoresponders are essential for delivering

the sales. A series of follow-up e-mails will increase those

sales dramatically, studies have shown that it takes 6 or

7 follow-ups before someone purchases your product. Consider

the autoresponder like a fuel injection system.

* Tracking and Marketing Resources: All have extensive

tracking and marketing resources, usually located online

within a membership site. An easy to use and accessible

tracking system for affiliates is needed. So too are

marketing resources such as banners, links, coupons,

graphics, seo tactics, landing pages, lead capture pages,

brandable reports, articles and ebooks. Obviously, your toolkit.

* Viral Marketing: All great Internet marketing systems

use viral marketing techniques. This can be as simple a

brandable reports, articles, software or eBooks. Affiliates

can embed their own IDs and pass these viral products along

to their friends and visitors, these useful viral products

then get passed around all over the web. Creating links,

contacts, buzz and funneling prospects back to your

marketing system. Consider it your Turbo Charger.

* Online Forums: Many of the better Internet Marketing

systems will have an online forum where members can network

and interact. Offering workshops and tutorials. This is a

vital community building tool that must not be overlooked

or underestimated. It will greatly enhance the effectiveness

of any marketing system, building a foundation and launch pad

for any new products. Your gas station.

* Cross Promotion: These marketing systems can become very

complex: promoting programs within programs, cross networking

whole systems within systems, joint ventures within joint

ventures... Marketing seminars, conventions and workshops

are other lucrative features these systems use to market

their products and to network with other marketers. Hybrid fuel.

* Corporate Blogs: Most have company blogs or a network of

members' blogs. Realizing the importance of these relatively

new mediums for getting the word out. RSS feeds are also used

to syndicate your sales message and content. That would be

your satellite radio.

* Affiliate Incentives: The better marketing systems have

affiliate incentives and contests to motivate the sales force.

From cruises to Ferraries...

* They Pay Their Affiliates On Time: Might seem trivial, except

for the affiliate. The best Internet marketing systems pay

their affiliate regularly and on time. They are trusted and

respected by affiliates and online marketers. This trust have

been built up over many years of good solid business

relationships. The best marketing systems are the ones that

can harvest and develop those relationships with thousands

or even millions of affiliates. Your accelerator.

* Automation: The one key element that makes all of the above

possible. These Internet marketing systems are automated to

the highest degree possible. Without automation these large

marketing networks could not function. Therefore, almost all

the day to day running of a marketing system is automated and

can run smoothly without much work or maintenance. The grease

that makes everything run.

* Internet: These marketing systems have taken full advantage

of the world wide web and used it to their benefit. It permits

global marketing with affiliates in every country around the

world. A large multinational marketing force that is made

possible only with the creation of the Internet. Consider it

the clue that connects the whole system.

The computer and the Internet make these whole automated

marketing systems possible. Closely studied and dissected,

these systems are complex, intricate creatures solidly

embedded into the Internet and the lives of millions around

the globe. Enabling lifestyles that offer mobility, freedom

and enrichment never before seen this side of a PowerBall

win!

When you picture these complex marketing systems, don't think

of computers, databases, autoresponders, wires...

Rather, picture a sun drenched tropical beach with a light

breeze and a clear blue sky. Picture a person sitting to one

side, checking daily sales stats on a cool sleek shinny laptop...

don't forget to zoom in real close and you will notice a slight

smug smile. But don't stop there, if you stare really hard and

think about what you have just read, you will have a clear view

of an Internet marketing system.

Although you have an excellent Internet marketing business opportunity, but if you do not have a marketing plan for developing such opportunity, there is a slim chance that you will be successful.

How do you market a small home based business.

Although classified ads is the designated part for such endorsements, you will still find several product and service endorsements on the front page, sports page, and even on the comics section of the newspaper. Structure is an integral part of their being--without it, their being and purpose is not complete.

If you think that the structure is just for physical attributes alone, then you need to think again.

As a matter of fact, abstract things also need structure in order to survive. And Internet marketing does need a specific structure.

In what way? Why is important to get the structure right?

Once the brand is consistently patronized by the people, you will be able to achieve success and your products will certainly have an edge over unbranded products. This will influence the way they patronize your products or services that may even result in the expansion of your clientele base.

There exist wide range of advertising-related and consultancy services based on market conditions, advance sales strategies, and popular culture. As previously mentioned, you do not need to secure necessary permits from city or state governments or find premises for your business. It was a simple idea.

Some merchants run their own affiliate programs while others use third party services provided by intermediaries to track traffic or sales that are referred from affiliates.

It is irrelevant (for the compensation) how often an Ad is displayed.

If you have your mailing list, you must have an auto responder service. If you don't yet you will soon, it's part of internet marketing. Some advertisers however did and still do embrace this behaviour of their affiliates and allow them, even encourage them, to bid on any term they like, including the advertisers trademarks.

Depending on the kind of Internet marketing business you are into as well as your subscriber's level of interest, the appropriate volume for you could be weekly or monthly. SEO, or the search engine optimization, is a proven online advertising method, and presently in-demand. The choice is yours to make.

It is an online-based exchange agency that serves as an intermediary between buyers and sellers in making business transactions (particularly business-to-business transactions, hence the term B2B applies).

All other effective strategies will come in line as long as you stick to the basic yet the best strategies in your Internet marketing venture. Remember that your ultimate goal is to be a successful Internet marketer who continues to generate revenues on an upscale. Many affiliate programs were poorly managed. But don't let that worry you because with time vendors are getting better.

Once the selected brand name is still available, It is a unique system that allows you to collect commissions on your own sales as well as individuals you recruited. Those are the key features that you need to watch out when deciding on which Internet marketing business you will engage into.

Advertising your products or services for sale through the Internet is relatively cheaper than advertising through local newspapers and large billboards. Develop you own product. Or better still you can JV with an established vendor and collect regular commission cheques by promoting their products. One popular method is Pay Per Click search engine traffic. Also known as "google adword" More information can be found by visiting the links below.

Can You Be Your Own Internet Marketing Specialist?

2012-10-09T04:35:00.000-07:00

The role of an internet marketing specialist is to drive traffic
to a website and to assist with the improvement of conversion
rates - converting website visitors to buyers. Some individuals
are good at driving traffic and others are good at creating web
copy that closes sales. In order to be a full-service internet
marketing specialist, you really have to have the skill to do
both because enormous amounts of traffic doesn't matter a bit if
that traffic does not result in revenue.

Even so, different people have different talents and one person's
gifts may complement another's. So, if you have strong skills in
one area and not the other, you may need to work with an internet
marketing specialist whose strengths compensate for your
weaknesses and vice versa. Sometimes an internet marketing team
achieves much more than any internet marketing specialist could
do alone.

Specific tasks that an internet marketing specialist or team of
internet marketers engage in to accomplish the two main purposes
of internet marketing - driving traffic and closing sales -
include:

1. Brainstorming

2. Market research

3. Identification of target markets and niche markets

4. Competitor analysis

5. Development of products and services

6. Creation of a unique selling proposition

7. Keyword research

8. Identification, analysis and selection of marketing

channels

9. Budgeting

10. Strategic planning and setting of milestones

11. Creation of marketing materials including sales copy

12. Website development

13. Administration of the internet marketing plan

14. Analysis of the effectiveness of the marketing program

15. Continual strengthening and improvement of the marketing

plan and marketing program

Effectively addressing all of these tasks that are necessary for
productive internet marketing really requires quite a vast skill
set. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses in various areas of
internet marketing. It is ideal if you have an internet marketing
team made up of individuals that are internet marketing
specialists in all of these areas; however, reality is not always
ideal. Because it is rare for any one individual to be strong in
each of these areas most people need professional assistance from
an internet marketing specialist with one or more of the internet
marketing tasks.

If you work with an internet marketing specialist or a team of
internet marketers, it is vital that everyone on the team
communicates clearly and effectively. With clear communication
the results from specific internet marketing tasks can be
integrated to create a strong, effective internet marketing
program that produces significant results in regard to driving
traffic and generating revenues.

In order to determine whether or not you are capable of being
your own internet marketing expert rather than contracting your
internet marketing tasks to an internet marketing specialist or
an internet marketing firm, do an honest analysis of your skills
as they relate to the fifteen internet marketing tasks mentioned
previously. In reviewing them, you are sure to find some that you
feel confident about and some that cause uncertainty. If you are
not comfortable with your own internet marketing knowledge and
skills, you may choose to hire an internet marketing specialist
to complete the tasks you are uneasy about, or you may choose to
pursue training or education to enhance your knowledge of
internet marketing and strengthen your own skills.

With desire, drive, time and perseverance, just about anyone can
become an internet marketing specialist. To be an effective
internet marketing specialist you must be willing to learn from
others as well as learning from your own mistakes. As you gain
experience in internet marketing, you will naturally develop
expertise and as time marches on you will undoubtedly feel more
comfortable with tasks that seem complex at first and you will
definitely gain self-confidence as you experience the positive
effects of your internet marketing efforts.

The 10 Essential Qualities of a Successfull Internet Marketer

2012-10-06T09:02:00.000-07:00

1) A successful Internet Marketer knows exactly his goals and is focused on attaining them:

Hence, by having clearly defined his objectives, a succesfull Internet Marketer is armed and ready to attain them. This way, he will not get distracted and give in all those hyped salesletters promising a get rich quick scam. It is a known fact that :"If you don't know where you are going, you will end-up somewhere else!"

Action: Take a moment NOW to honestly question yourself if your goals are crystal clear and attainable.

2) A successful Internet Marketer is committed to his success:

Yes! People who made it big in their business (whether on or offline) were ready to put in the effort needed. If you believe that you will become a millionaire by putting in an hour a day, you will just keep buying those " get rich fast gimmicks" and will waste your money.

Action: Ask yourself if you are committed to your online success and if you are willing to do the necessary sacrifices it will need in the beginning.

3) A successful Internet Marketer believes in his success:

The reality is actually way more powerful than this: "For a successful Internet Marketer, failiure is not an option!"
Does this mean that everything runs smoothly and perfectly the first time around for those successful persons? Not at all! Most (if not all) Internet Millionaires encountered multiple set-backs. Their strength comes from the fact that they took these set-backs merely as challenges and got more motivated from them. If you experience doubts at time while pursuing your Web career, allow yourself to be inspired by Thomas Edison who made over a thousand attempts in designing the light bulb. When asked if he ever got discouraged by all those repeated failiures, he simply answered, smiling: " I did not fail, I just discovered a thousand ways that did not work!" Now, that's a winning attitude.

It all comes back to having the proper mind set.

Action: Honestly evaluate if you truly believe in yourself and your success. Are you putting-up excuses? Do you often catch yourself downtalking about your own goals?

4) A successful Internet Marketer honestly cares about his customers:

This one may come as a shocker. It is true though that successful marketers are in business because they care about making a difference and helping their customers.A person may make a good sum of money while selling a low quality service or product once. On the long run though, the customers can see through this person's facade and recurring income is not going to be at the "rendez-vous".

Action: Examine your profond motives in wanting to do Internet Marketing. Are you just "trying" this to get out of a job you do not like? Is helping other people through the products and services you are providing a genuine goal for you?

5) A successful Internet Marketer is persistent:

It is pure utopia to think that everything will run smoothly and perfectly the first time around. Successfull people are persistent people. Success does not come from never falling, it comes from falling and getting back-up successfully. Furthermore, great achievers have the ability to change failiures into learning and creating opportunities. Most great inventions are the results of a need that created a frustration and then triggerred a solution.

Action: Consider how you react when faced with a negative result. Do you crumble down? Do you react vividly saying: "This time, it's personal!"
I like the image of Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky 1 during his fight with Apollo Creed. The more punches he got, the faster he got back up. Ask yourself if challenges are putting you down or, on the opposite, motivating you beyond your wildest dreams.

6) A successful Internet Marketer is a good listener:

Upon creating a strong marketing plan, a successful marketer will consider the needs of his potential customers. He will not assume what their needs are, he will ask the right questions and sincerely listen. A common mistake that new marketers do is provide customers what they think the market needs. One can greatly "bum" in a business in providing a product/service that nobody really wants.

Action: Do an objective research on what your target market wants. Are you on the right track or do you need to change your perspective?

7) A successful Internet Marketer is hard working and efficient:

I am sorry to be the one bringing you the bad news but building a highly successful businness that pays well requires hard work, at least in the beginning. The good news is that if you possess the first six qualities of a successful Internet Marketer, creating your empire will actually be a fun journey! Most very successful Internet Millionaires keep working although they do not need to just because they enjoy doing so. I know I will...

Action: Ask yourself if you are committed in providing the necessary effort to create a very successful business. Do you tend to procrastinate and are an artist at creating excuses for not getting the job done? If you honestly feel you sometimes lack the strength to finish what you start, do not despair, there is help.

8) A succesfull Internet Marketer is accountable for his results:

As much as Internet Millionaires are responsible for their great success, as much they take blame and then action for their failiures. When something goes wrong, they do not blame other people or circumstances for the results. Right away, they sit back, analyse and learn from the situation and change whatever needs to be correted.

Action: Honestly analyse how you react when faced with a non-optimal result. Do you blame others? Are you 100% accountable for the results you bring in? If not, how can you manage your business so that your success are the direct results of your actions?

9) A successful Internet Marketer constantly renews his business:
Let's face it what was hot yesterday will be common today and outdated tomorrow. A successful Internet Marketer keeps up to date on the current trends and adapts to the ever changing needs of its clients.

Action: Do you know what your market needs and wants? Ask yourself if you are offering a product that is still popular and in demand TODAY?

10) A successful Internet Marketer knows how to leverage the strength of other successful Internet Marketers:

One cannot do everything alone. Most, if not all, successful Internet Marketers have learned to use the power of joining their force with others. Furthermore, a successful Internet Marketer doesn't try to re-invent the wheel. While creating a successful Internet empire, the busy marketer leverages and uses what others have already created to make work easier and more proficient. A successful Internet Marketer knows and uses the power of joint venturing with other great internet marketers.

Action: Are you slaving alone at your computer trying to figure out the system? What can you do to successfully leverage what other people have created while doing business on the Web?

SERP and Internet Marketing

2012-10-03T14:46:00.000-07:00

When it comes to Internet marketing the
biggest question is always what is effective?
You need an effective Internet marketing
strategy but the last thing you want to do is
waste time on an Internet marketing strategy
that is ineffective. One of the hottest new
Internet marketing terms is search engine
result page or S.E.R.P. People are beginning
to realize that the most important factor in
Internet marketing in the all-important search
page result.

Someone is looking for something, they enter a
few words into a search engine and pages that
match the search words appear. Any intelligent
Internet marketing aficionado is focused on
where their website shows up on that list. The
more effective the company's Internet
marketing strategy the higher up the list they
will appear. Internet marketing studies have
shown that the first page of results of an
Internet search engine is the Promised Land
for an effective Internet marketing scheme.

The first month your Internet marketing
strategy places your business on the first
page of search results can bring you an
increase in traffic to your site of more than
100 percent. The second month of effective
Internet marketing will increase it even more,
sometimes as much as 200 percent. There isn't
a business out there that doesn't wish for
those kinds of results from their Internet
marketing plan.

So what kind of Internet marketing plan will
get you onto that coveted search results first
page? The first Internet marketing tool you
will need is keywords. Keywords, the words
prospective clients enter into search engines
to find what they're looking for are Internet
marketing gems. Creating keyword-rich content
on your website will greatly increase your
ranking on the search engine. Be smart about
it. Search engines can distinguish an Internet
marketing keyword rich approach from someone
who is just being stupid. But an Internet
marketing strategy that fills your site with
the right keywords will make your ranking rise.

Another great Internet marketing tool for
raising search engine ranking is the press
release. There are a great number of companies
now offering optimized press releases to bring
more awareness to your site. An effective
Internet marketing strategy will utilize this.
Choose wisely, but do not ignore this Internet
marketing asset. Check with anyone who is
having success with their Internet marketing
and you are sure to find that they use an
optimized press release service. A well-
crafted article that raises the aware ness of
your Internet marketing keywords will always
be a profitable Internet marketing tool, as
long as you find a service that gets good
exposure for their articles. Again, do your
homework.

Finally, remember that as much as 80% of all
internet traffic goes no further than the
first page of results for their internet
search. Use this to your Internet marketing
advantage. Use every Internet marketing tool
at your disposal to get yourself onto that
page and you will see Internet marketing
success. Everyone says they have an Internet
marketing strategy. Be smart about your
Internet marketing strategy and you will leave
most of them in the dust.

Free Internet Marketing: Replace Your Income Using Only Free Online Strategies

2012-09-28T19:50:00.000-07:00

I started internet marketing in January of this year and, despite earning enough money to allow me to quit my job and do this full time, still feel like a newbie. In this business, you quickly realise how vast and the internet marketing arena really is. Because of the sheer scale of the internet and the number of money-making strategies to reflect this huge amount of opportunity, the average newbie will spend months just getting to grips with most of the general profit avenues internet marketing has to offer, and they will find themselves divulged with offers of brand new internet marketing software, internet marketing books, internet marketing tips etc. However, it is essential that the newbie always bears in mind that the quickest, simplest and easiest way to make money online is via free internet marketing.

There are many free internet marketing methods to make fast money online. For example, a newbie could collate free information about blogging, and then set up a free blog at Blogspot or Wordpress; the newbie could then insert some AdSense for free and get about optimising the pages so the search engines would attract visitors. Or the newbie could try affiliate marketing; the newbie would simply go over to Clickbank, get a free affiliate code, choose a product to affiliate for, and then start hitting free internet forums targeted for their product to promote it in their profile signature. And this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to free internet marketing.

The internet marketing Gods reward those who are innovative. So why not see how creative you can be? You could try and link several free blogs to articles and to forum postings. Create a large network that is earning money for you on autopilot. I know of several individuals who do nothing more than post in forums all day long and earn a small fortune from it. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot replace (and even improve) your full-time job income using simple free internet marketing methods. You do not need the latest internet marketing software to make cash.

Whenever a newbie asks me how to make money online, I strongly urge them to do it through free internet marketing methods. I tell them to research all the free internet marketing methods they can through internet marketing forums, make comprehensive notes, then compile a plan, and then follow through with it. Never allow yourself to get distracted. And here is my golden rule - if you cannot replace your full-time job income through simple free internet marketing methods, then you should not consider moving any further in the internet marketing world. This is basic stuff. Just because they happen to be free methods, don't make the mistake of thinking that somehow limits the amount you can earn, because there is no cap. Some people have become multi-millionaires through using free internet marketing methods.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Don't buy into the hype of aggressive sales letters, don't allow yourself to get magnetised by the latest software releases. Focus on the established free methods of making cash online, take consistent action, be open to constructive criticism, and it's more than likely you will eventually become a very wealthy individual. This is the bread-and-butter of internet marketing and, in time to come, you will realise that the expensive courses only really provide tips, tricks and refinements to the education you gave yourself from free internet marketing methods.

"Internet Marketing" - Not Dead Just In A State Of Coma!

2012-09-26T12:35:00.000-07:00

Internet marketing is feeling down and going through a long period of sickness...

Symptoms:

Puking Product Launches

Joint Venture Vomiting

The Boys Club Biliousness (you give me your testimonial and I'll give you mine!)

Sensationalism Sickness

Not so long ago the internet marketing community were all blasted with "ADSENSE IS DEAD"

Some believed it, some didn't, personally I believed it but only because I wasn't earning from it, but you try telling that to people like Joel Comm and the other internet marketing people, who are still receiving healthy cheques from Google, I think they might have one or two words to the contrary!

Now we are faced with the headline "Internet Marketing Is Dead".

Do we believe it? Is the author just being alarmist or scare mongering or seeking the limelight? Well regarding the latter of those three, and considering the author is internet marketing "Guru", Mike Filsaime, I think not!

Now Mike Filsaime claimed in the report that he was not selling anything, there was no "one time offer" and no "back end product".... I believe him, but considering that the site where the internet marketing report was downloaded, was in the very low hundreds of the most popular web sites, (not only internet marketing but the whole world wide web, and this was confirmed by Mike himself in an E-mail to his existing list) then I think I can safely say that he scraped together one hell of a sizeable internet marketing, mailing list in the last few days!

OK we must not forget that he paid $1 for every name that was referred to his list by some other internet marketer, but you can bet your life that he will be monetizing that list at some time in the future, and I don't think he will publicise the fact when he does!

On the same subject, the internet marketing ace, Scott Boulch collected a list of over 38,000 internet marketing names during the period that he promoted his "Adsense Is Dead" campaign, and now he's promoting the list building software with which he did it!

But Scott never claimed that he wouldn't make any money from it!

All I'm saying is that these internet marketing people at the top, have an awful lot of pulling power! and unfortunately, a large amount of the internet marketing community are desperate to make money, and therefore fall into the "sheep mentality", allowing themselves to be shepherded through the internet marketing fields of the internet, and eventually to the market of monetization or even salesmanship slaughter!

The internet marketing "Gurus" of today have pop star status and tremendous powers to influence their followers.

Just like the top guns in the currency markets have the power to sway markets at will and enough influence to bring a small country to its knees. The sad thing is, they do it with their own interests at heart!

"WHO DO YOU TRUST?"

Let's just think about things for a moment....

When you get a recommendation for an internet marketing product in your inbox, you're dying to find out about it, if, it sounds good, but where are you going to go to get that kind of information?

There isn't one place- there are hundreds of internet marketing forums... discussion boards, etc..

Some people go to internet marketing forums and boards but there's little moderator controls there... the only incentive to post in a forum about an internet marketing product, besides being really helpful, is to place your affiliate link in the signature file so you could get a few sales, and this is important: So there's NO incentive to post a NEGATIVE about a product...

There is no "consumer report" on internet marketing products or people in the internet marketing industry, and even if there was, most people in the internet marketing niche would believe that it was not an 'objective' review anyway, if it came from the publisher of the site...

Skepticism is at an all time high in the internet marketing niche... (and probably other niches too).

So, what's your answer to the question: WHO DO YOU TRUST? When it comes to buying products in the Internet marketing niche? Where do you go for OBJECTIVE advice and reviews before you buy?
