As you may already know, Classifieds website are essential these days and even more so than they were 15 years ago when the Internet became mainstream for advertising. Today, Internet users are accustomed and comfortable with paying online; they also rely on the internet for their shopping needs more now then ever before.

Be a visionary! Be the owner of your own Online Classified Outlet!

The old traditions of looking through or waiting for a newspaper are gone and with local online classifieds being the major means of advertising and shopping, the demand for advertising is shifting to online outlets!

This is very evident with many newspapers closing or going bankrupt and the push to be environmentally friendly is eliminating the use and effectiveness of flyers and mail outs.

It's a stress free - high potential income opportunity!

An extensive, tangible business where you have the presence of a virtual service that can be seen by anyone and all you do is promote and collect the revenue you generate. You don't deal with technical issues! Your customers enter their own ads and make their purchases with a secured online service. Their questions are handled for you because you get 100% coverage with Adlandpro's Client Support and Customer Service to answer their questions.

A Business Model made for you!

You want some control like any business owner wants. You get it. You can access the things important to you, for example; you have the contact information for your customers allowing you to follow up with special offers, you specify what pricing level you want, and you can place your own ads or give your own loyal customer a freebie! You can brand the look of your classifieds site and use your own logo, select the available color modes and redirect traffic back to your own business, after placing ads.

It's not complicated and it generates revenue!

The good people at Adlandpro will assist you with the set up, the maintenance; provide the support and handle the technical details. They have been doing this for over 12 years, delivering quality online advertising solutions to tens of thousands of satisfied customers and because they have just released this brand new service, now is the time to be the first in line to access to a brand new business opportunity based on a proven classified site's software!

Basic Internet Training can cost you!

2010-06-27T09:19:00.000-07:00

Bright Builders is a company that offers several different services to people in need of an online business. Primarily, they focus on building an commerce or store front website that will allow you to sell a multitude of products.

Another side to Bright Builders is eBay tools, they offer training and support in getting your products on the popular auction site. They claim that with their services and expertise anyone can have a booming Internet business.

The prices that they charge for a website and, some seemingly, basic Internet marketing training are in the Thousands.

BrightBuilders I’m sure face some customer complaints having customers complain having not seen any profits from their websites.

With these types of complaints it’s hard to know whether the person failed due to a lack of effort, or because the system itself is flawed. Regardless of what advertisements may claim developing an online business takes time, hard work, and perseverance whether you’re on your own or working with Bright Builders.

The fact of the matter still is that paying thousands of dollars for an online business is way to much. ( hind Sight )

Being a beginner at that time with very little knowledge on Marketing or computer skills I new I was sunk and had a large charge on my credit Card!

The sale person was good at his job and just happen to catch me at the right time.

We talked for probably an hour plus he had me visit the company web page and see some of the staff etc. on the web while he spoke of their fantastic services.

It was a Hard lesson for me!

I was fortunate enough after a few short months after that I found something that has quality and support training that exceeded my expectation.

The highest converting traffic I've ever seen...

2010-05-02T04:59:00.001-07:00

Viral Link Blaster is a new site that says it guarantees more web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. More importantly, it promises higher CONVERSIONS--signups and sales. So I decided to put it to the test...

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Viral Link Blaster" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Viral Link Blaster Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!

After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Viral Link Blaster link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Viral Link Blaster link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Viral Link Blaster. So if anyone clicks the Viral Link Blaster image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Viral Link Blaster links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Viral Link Blaster (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Viral Link Blaster image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Viral Link Blaster also.

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Viral Link Blaster even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Viral Link Blaster really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Viral Link Blaster. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

TAKE YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS SERIOUSLY

Some people have the habit of joining an MLM business because they think that they can get rich without having to put any effort into it. They skip around from business to business, sometimes even joining several in the span of one month.

But they never really get anywhere with them.

The truth of the matter is, there is no business that grows by itself.
The ideal business is one that you only have to build once, and once you build it, it will continue to produce income for you for a lifetime, but you still have to put your effort and energy into it to make it grow.

Imagine that your business is like a garden. If you want to get anything out of a garden, you first have to till the soil, then you have to plant the seeds, then you have to water the seeds, and then you have to tend to your garden all throughout the season so that it stays free of weeds and so that your plants can grow properly, only then can you reap the rewards of what your garden has to offer.
If you just stand back and expect your garden to grow all by itself, you will get nothing but rocks and weeds, or nothing at all.

This same principle can be applied to any business, MLM or otherwise.
If you feel that you can't commit the hours or the effort that it takes to make your business grow, then you have no business being in any business at all.

This Product Sells Itself!

2009-06-22T08:22:00.000-07:00

This Product Sells Itself Written By: Denise Lee Porter

I want a nickel for every time that I’ve been told “This product sells itself”. It wouldn’t bother me so much if there weren’t such a proliferation of advertising across the Interwebz about opportunities where the product or service is so necessary to everyday living that , well it just jumps out of the cases in your garage and into the waiting arms of consumers across America.

It got me to thinking , food is a bare necessity but my local supermarket has to send a sales paper to get me in there to make a purchase, so food doesn’t sell itself. Clothing is a necessity,and again if there isn’t a sale on, don’t look for me at the mall. Shelter, now there’s a necessity, and we all know what happened to the US housing market over the past two years or so. So if the bare necessities don’t sell themselves, then obviously nothing else will either.

Everything is about selling. Getting a good job is all about making a sales call on a recruiter or manager and hoping that you close the sale and walk away hired. Keeping a job means selling your personality and skills daily to people that you may or may not even want to be around -but you’ve got to pay the bills for all the crap you’ve been sold on. When you met your spouse you had to sell him or her on You, if you’re single and looking then chances are you are selling every time you go on a date or meet someone new.

Life my friend, is a sales call. What am I really saying though? I am saying that if you want to get into network marketing or internet marketing, by all means do it, there is so much income potential in these two areas. But don’t fall for the okey doke, if someone tells you that you can make 20k a month starting tomorrow, while you sleep and your turnkey system does all the work — well if you believe them that’s on you.

You can become a successful marketer with ease (and that ease is all in your head, it’s your mindset that dictates the level of “ease”), but you can’t become one by being lazy, or waiting for the guy who signed you up to do the work for you, or reading books that teach strategies which you never implement. Nor can you become one if you don’t want your information on the internet and refuse to use social media tools, or are afraid to pick up the phone and actually talk to other humans about your product, service or opportunity.

This product doesn’t sell itself, you do — so get to work.

Solar Wind

2009-04-22T05:47:00.001-07:00

My summer project is to build my first wind combine.
My neighbor is is going to donate the generator from a garden tractor.
I am going to attempt to adapt the charging sytem and power it by a vertical axis with blades. The blades will probably come from large plastic pales. I hope to use a steel pipe with the right diameter to fit through the flywheel assembly and mount it to the original engine block. The engine block I will try to eliminate as much of the casing and use it as a base.
The blades will be perpendicular to the vertical shaft and use at least 4 blades.
Now the one thing that concerns me is that this engine at Idle travels at 1250 rpm and probably does not have a lot of magnets in the flywheel so I am going to have to test it to see what voltage I can get from it at much lower rpm. Thus I might have to scrap the idea or keep the stater windings and make my own magnetic fly wheel. Which is going to be a lot more work and I just might decide to find another source for a generator such as a battery powered drill since it has a nice chuck on the end of it and has its own gear ratio.
The Idea is to come up with at least a 13 volt dc current that can charge 12 volt batteries. From the batteries I can hook up a converter that converts the 12 volt system to ac power.

The Biggest Mistakes

2009-04-21T10:17:00.000-07:00

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways of earning some
money online. This program gives everybody a chance to make a profit through the
Internet. Since these affiliate marketing programs are easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a regular basis, more an more people are now willing in this business.
However, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing business.
Committing some of the most common mistakes will cost the marketers a large portion
taken from the profit they are making everyday. That is why it is better to avoid them than be regretful in the end.

Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate.
Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously.
Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try top choose a product in which you are truly
interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out your actions.
Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings only.
Mistake number 2: Joining too many affiliate programs.
Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate
programs.
True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them.
The result? The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the
income generated will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would. The best way to get excellent result is by joining just one program that pays a 40%
commission at least. Then give it your best effort by promoting your products
enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is already making a reasonable profit, then maybe you can now join another affiliate program.
The technique is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush into things, especially with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real bright and it seems affiliate marketing will be staying for a long time too.
Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.
As an affiliate, you main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service and to find customers. For you to achieve this purpose, you must be able to relay to the customers that certain product and service. It is therefore difficult for you to do
this when you yourself have not tried these things out. Thus, you will fail to promote and recommend them convincingly. You will also fail to create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are offering.
Try the product or service personally first before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it is really delivering what it promises. If you have done so, then you are one of the credible and living testaments aware of its advantages and disadvantages. Your customers will then feel the sincerity and truthfulness in you and this will trigger them to try them out
for themselves.
Many affiliate marketers make these mistakes and are paying dearly for their actions. To not fall into the same situation they have been in, try to do everything to avoid making the same mistakes.

Ways To Boost Your Affliate Program

2009-04-17T10:11:00.000-07:00

The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your won website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.
Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you
would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?
Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions
overnight.
1. Know the best program and products to promote.
Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the
greatest profits in the shortest possible time.
There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target
audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.
There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky.
You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.
Write free reports or short E-Books to distribute from your site. There is a great
possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same
program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.
In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some
recommendations about the products. With E-Books, you get credibility. Customers will
see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free
E-Books.
It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.
This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who
downloaded your reports and E-Books. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to
remind them to make a purchase from you.
Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.
But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them
to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.
Publish an online newsletter or E-zine. It is always best to recommend a product to
someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.
This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales
pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.
3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants.
If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.
If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a
valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.
Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of
advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor
them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in
the shortest of time.

Many Ways You Can Increase Your Earnings

2009-04-09T09:54:00.000-07:00

In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.
If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust your
recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service.Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on
how to make it work effectively and for your advantage.
Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.
Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust.
If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche, they are more
inclined to making that purchase. On the other hand, if you are not exuding any
confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product or service which is more believable. How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. Display prominent testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course.
Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention. Besides, you would not want to sound unprofessional and have that
thinking stick to your potential customers and clients, now would you? Best to appear
cool and self-assured at the same time.
And remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to experts and may
already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard facts and
data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands worth of money to your
promotions. But if you don’t, they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors and what they are offering.
While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional
freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promoting your won products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some information about your products or services.
Before you add recommendations to you product, it is given that you should try and test the product and support. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services.
Just think how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to destroy it is one big mistake on your part.
If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. Test
the product support before you begin to ensure that the people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when a problem suddenly arouse.
Have a look at your affiliate market and look at the strategies you are using. You may not be focusing on the recommendations that your products need to have. You plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program works.
Try product recommendation and be among those few who have proven its worth.

PPC Clicks

2009-04-02T09:48:00.000-07:00

PPC or Pay-Per-Click in full is one of the four basic types of Search Engines. PPC is also one of the most cost-effective ways of targeted Internet advertising. According to Forbes magazine, PPC or Pay Per Click, accounts to 2 billion dollars a year and is expected to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008.
Let us take a quick look at how PPC Search Engines work.
These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the website owner is willing to pay for each click from that search engine. Advertisers bid against each other to receive higher ranking for a specific keyword or phrase.
The highest bidder for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as
number 1 in the PPC Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear prominently on the results pages based on the dollar amount bid you will agree to pay per click.
How do you make money by using PPC into your affiliate marketing business?
Most affiliate programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has clickthrough your site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on the web site content and the traffic market.
The reason why you should incorporate PPC into your affiliate marketing program is that earnings are easier to make than in any other kind of affiliate program not using PPC.
This way, you will be making profit based from the clickthroughs that your visitor will make on the advertiser’s site. Unlike some programs, you are not paid per sale or action.PPC can be very resourceful of your website. With PPC Search Engines incorporated into your affiliate program, you will be able to profit from the visitor’s who are not interested in your products or services. The same ones who leave your site and never comes back.
You will not only get commissions not only from those who are just searching the web
and finding the products and services that they wanted but you will be able to build your site’s recognition as a valuable resource. The visitors who have found what they needed from you site are likely to come back and review what you are offering more closely.
Then they will eventually come back to search the web for other products.
This kind of affiliate program is also an easy way for you to generate some more
additional revenues. For example, when a visitor on your site does a search in the PPC
Search Engine and clicks on the advertiser bided listings, the advertisers’ account will then be deducted because of that click. With this, you will be compensated 30% to 80% of the advertisers’ bid amount.
PPC is not only a source of generating easy profits; it can also help you promote your own site. Most of the programs allow the commissions received to be spent for
advertising with them instantly and with no minimum earning requirement. This is one of the more effective ways to exchange your raw visitors for targeted surfers who has more tendencies to purchase your products and services.
What will happen if you when you integrate PPC into your affiliate program?
PPC usually have ready-to-use affiliate tools that can be easily integrated into your
website. The most common tools are search boxes, banners, text links and some
404-error pages. Most search engines utilize custom solutions and can provide you with a white-label affiliate program. This enables you, using only a few lines of code, to integrate remotely-hosted co-branded search engine into your website.
The key benefits? Not only more money generated but also some extra money on the
side. Plus a lifetime commissions once you have referred some webmaster friends to the engine.
Think about it. Where can you get all these benefits while already generating some
income for your site? Knowing some of the more useful tools you can use for your
affiliate program is not a waste of time. They are rather a means of earning within an earning.
Best know more about how you can use PPC search engines into your affiliate program
than miss out on a great opportunity to earn more profits.
