EMAIL MARKETING - ADVERTISE, DON'T SPAM

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:11:00 +0000

There is a fine line between advertising and spam and unfortunately many business owners do not understand the difference between the two. This is important because while a clever, well planted internet marketing campaign can help to attract new customers and keep existing customers loyal, spam is likely to alienate both new customers and existing customers.

This can be extremely damaging to profit margins for the business owners. This article will take a look at a few basic Internet marketing strategies such as banner ads, email campaign and message board posts and describe how each can quickly cross the line from clever advertising, to spam...........

Email Marketing - Why Not Use Email marketing?

If you are currently participating in other types of Internet marketing but not email marketing you should seriously consider why you are avoiding this type of advertising. This is important because email marketing can be a very important part of an Internet marketing campaign. Many business owners avoid email marketing for fear of being accused of spamming. Internet markets may not have a clear understanding of what is spam and what is not so they avoid participation in email marketing campaigns to avoid the potential for being labeled a spammer.

Spamming

Why are Internet marketers so afraid of being accused of being purveyors of spam? This is a common fear for a number of reasons. First of all there may be harsh penalties associated with sending spam emails. Recipients of spam have the option of reporting the spam to their Internet service provider who will investigate the validity of the claim. If the originator of the email is determined to be a spammer there can be harsh consequences. Internet marketers are also afraid of email marketing because they believe it will not be well received by potential customers. This is an important concept because Internet users are bombarded with spam each day. Receiving this quantity of spam each day can be frustrating and can anger some Internet users. These Internet users are not likely to be receptive to email marketing. The fear that these potential customers will view email marketing and stray to competitors keeps many Internet marketers from taking advantage of this type of marketing strategy. However, it is important to note that despite the prevalent problem with spam, many Internet users are quite receptive to email marketing. This is especially true in situations where they specifically requested to receive more information from the business owner regarding his products and services. Potential clients are particularly receptive to email marketing which provides something of value to the recipient of the email. Emails which contain in depth articles, useful tips or product reviews may be appreciated by consumers.

E-Newsletters and Correspondance Courses

Additionally, items such as e-newsletters and correspondence courses offered via email can be of particular interest to potential customers. E-newsletters are typically longer documents than traditional email marketing pieces and can provide a great deal of additional information to the email recipient. Email correspondence courses may be offered in short segments and typically amount to a significant amount of information which is likely to be greatly appreciated by the email recipients. One final way to prevent email recipients from viewing your email marketing efforts as spam is to only send the emails to recipients who register with your website and specifically request for you to send them additional information and promotional materials. This opt in formula is ideal because it ensures you are not wasting your email marketing efforts on recipients who are not interested in your products or services. It also ensures the recipients of the email marketing campaign do not view the informative and promotional materials they are receiving as spam. This technique for compiling an email distribution list is quite effective but it is important to remember you should always include information on how recipients can opt out of receiving future emails, www.Aweber.com is a great service to help with this. This is important because the email recipients may have once been interested in receiving marketing emails but over time this may change. If they are no longer interested in these emails, they may begin to view the emails as spam if they are not given the option of being removed from the distribution list.

Big Ticket Depot Latest Update

Big Ticket Depot Latest Update....

This is a BIG week for BIG TICKET DEPOT!

This week we release all FINAL websites to each of you on the pre-launch team and you will all have your Big Ticket Depot affiliate back offices so you can track your sales/commissions and many other things!

This week you will see WHY it took a bit longer than we expected to make this happen. We made some enhancements during this time and with every change comes more time and expense with programming. We felt it was better to exit the starting gate with more benefits for you thanto add them as we go. We want to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars a week in commissions and decided to add these enhancements during PHASE 1 of the
Big Ticket Launch.

Phase 1 is the launch of the affiliate side of the program and with that launch will come the opportunity for you to invite and enroll as many people as you can into Big Ticket Depot's lucrative affiliate program.

We WILL pay commissions during this 2-3 week time frame that Phase 1 will eventually lead into Phase 2 which will be the opening of our CLIENT SIDE of Big Ticket Depot. This will be a time when youwill be able to enroll CLIENTS to list their big ticket items on the site and will earn 50% of their monthly fee!

All of this will be automated of course and you will NOT have to be a "sales person."

Our system will do the marketing for you!

I Want This To Happen Just As Much As You Do.. It Was My Idea After All!

I am a person who needs to improve in the area of "patience" and I can tell you that for the past few weeks I have gritted my teeth at the programmers who have been working on making this happen. Things do not always move as fast as I want them to however, they are specialists in their field of expertise and they are taking my idea of creating an outlet for people to market big ticket items online and making it into reality.

I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that this program is going to work and is a NICHE market right now. You do not know how many emails I get and people that I PERSONALLY know that want to list their items already as CLIENTS not to mention all the people who want to sign up as affiliates!

We have TWO winners now. MaxLifeResearch.com is about to launch the world wide TV and Internet marketing campaign and we have 3 videos online that will be released this week that arein both ENGLISH and SPANISH.

We have seen growth in BOTH markets and I expect the same to happen with Big Ticket Depot.

BigTicketDepot.com is a NON-MLM program that will catch the interest of a broad spectrum of people and if you are in Max Life, you will be able to eventually introduce them to Max Life.

They will be more OPEN to joining Max Life since you will have built a relationship with them. This creates the PERFECT tag-team system. You use the VORTEX system to introduce people to internet marketing and THEY choose (NOT YOU) which program they want to focus what they have learned in Vortex to build. Keep in mind that MANY of these people who activate Vortex vouchers will choose BOTH Max Life and Big Ticket Depot!

This will mean great things for you and we will see everything we do online grow in popularity.

***Special Something***

I have been experimenting with 3 tools that are email marketing based over the past month.

These are tools that are SOFTWARE that are blowing my mind. Without getting into much detail ( I will later), here is what they are doing..

I am able to pull THOUSANDS of "TARGETED EMAILS" from places like CraigsList, AdLand Pro and MANY other online selling/classifieds sites.

*For Example*

I can find thousands of people who are selling CARS (big ticket item right?). I can then send them an email that PIQUES their interest in selling their item on BigTicket Depot. This email has ALL the can-spam compliance features in them and they can either OPT OUT of the email list or they can request more information!

Now think about this...How many people post NEW big ticket items on these sites everyday? Answer? Could be hundreds of thousands world wide! Who is our market for clients AND for potential affiliates? THEY ARE!

I am one week away from completing this test with this software and am piecing it together. It is NOT THAT technical however it would be something people would have to have some one on one training over the phone on or even in person HOWEVER once you KNOW how to use it, you will find a THOUSAND ways to use it to build Max Life, Big Ticket Depot and ANY other program you build.

**A Test**

I ran a 2 day test sending out some emails to TARGETED emails I had gotten from this program...The result?

Over 100 people activated a Vortex Voucher by way of "Presidents Team System" as their sponsor! It proved to me that it is a VERY effective avenue to move fast with going thru the numbers. Remember, marketing is all about statistics..

How MANY people can we get our programs in front of an what is the RATIO of people who say YES?

That is key...By the beginning of next week, I will allow a group of about 30 people to link up with a couple of people I have been training with this software and you will be given the opportunity to learn how to use these programs.

It will be optional of course and only for you who want to use email marketing as a MAIN means of building your businesses. We still have the campaigns we are running that will benefit you and many other things that you will be able to do to build your business so do not worry if the email marketing themed method is not for you..

As you can see, I NEVER sit "IDLE."..I am ALWAYS working and looking for ways to make our programsgrow. Now that the programmers are just about finished with what I have asked them for to get Big Ticket off the ground, you are now hearing from me. I prefer not to send a bunch of "HYPE" "ANNOUNCEMENTS" everyday in an effort to respect your time. Now that we are ready, I am ready to get into action to get this ship sailing where it needs to sail!

This week keep an eye open for instructional emails that will lead you to your back office for Big TicketDepot. If your in Max Life, you will want to look out for some great announcements this week as well. This week will be a big week and since many of you have children going back to school this week, this will be the perfect time to start putting forth the time and energy to make these programs pay off for you.

I look forward to sharing GREAT news with you this week...

For you who got into the Big Ticket campaigns, get ready! You will begin to see how we will drive the people too you and we will show you what you must do to complete the process!Have a great day and great week!

Regards,

Putting The "SERVICE" back in "CUSTOMER SERVICE"

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:54:00 +0000

The future of customer service is here.

Technology has made seeking out support faster and easier than ever.

But, has your digital age company sacrificed true service in the name of automation?

Today, finding customer support is as simple as writing an e-mail or picking up the phone.

But, even though you’re not face-to-face with your customers, you still leave a lasting impression. Do you come across as caring and competent, or menacing and mechanical?

Offering stand-out service on the Internet isn’t as hard as it is rare.

Take these simple steps towards old-style service in the digital age:

Give Each Customer a Personal Response

Be Clear, But Sincere

Offer Live Customer Support

Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All the Answers

Give Each Customer a Personal Response

When a customer sits down to e-mail your company, it’s because he needs help.

He chooses e-mail because it’s quick, but his request still warrants a satisfying and personal response!

Companies eager to save time and money often take automation too far in their customer support. Each customer has a unique question, and deserves a unique answer.

Even if you save time by copying and pasting stock replies, change the opening and closing to make the message sound less robotic.

Be Clear, But Sincere

When responding to customers’ e-mail, be sincere and to the point. Before sending a message, try turning the tables. Ask yourself, “Would this answer satisfy me if I were the customer?”

Take that extra moment to give your customer the help he deserves. It might mean the difference between a satisfied customer and a credit card chargeback!

Offer Live Customer Support

E-mail has become an acceptable form of communication. But, live customer support is still necessary. The plethora of information available online can be overwhelming to customers, especially those new to the Internet!

Single your company out from the crowd by providing customers with a real person to talk to. Live phone support is an invaluable way to foster trust. When your customer has reached the end of his Internet rope, and just needs help, your toll free number is the answer he’s looking for.

Make Sure Your Support Reps Have All The Answers

The presence of phone support will do no good if your staff doesn’t know your product! Customer support reps should be warm and friendly, and willing to help with any aspect of your product.

What a good feeling it is to talk to someone who feels confident in his product. It’s even better if he’s knowledgeable enough to solve your problem without transferring you all around the company!

Provide Stand-Out Service; Gain Lifelong Customers

Too many e-businesses skimp on customer service, hiding behind web sites and message boards. Customer support is an integral part of every company, even those operating solely online. Be one of the few to offer stellar service, and gain customers for life!

BIG TICKET DEPOT-BIG TICKET DEPOT REVIEW-WHAT IS BIG TICKET DEPOT?

What is Big Ticket Depot?

Big Ticket Depot is a brand new way of making money online with your own

home based business at a very affordable price.

It is quite simply: "The answer to our economic times"

Right now the whole world seems to be suffering from an economic crisis.

People are losing their homes or facing bankruptcy.

Gas/Petrol prices have gone through the roof and the price of oil has gone crazy.

There are now lots of people trying to sell the things that they own.

We have rich people selling their yachts and fast cars,and we have everYday people selling their smaller items such as watches and electronic equipment etc.

Now, the trouble that most people are facing when it comes to selling their items is that the market place is saturated with these products. Take a look at Ebay or Craigs List and you will see thousands of items for sale that are all the same.

This is where Big Ticket Depot comes in:

Big Ticket Depot is offering a service for people (clients) who need to sell their items.

Except Big Ticket Depot will do all of the advertising for you, and in places you probably didn't even know existed.

Big Ticket Depot will find people who want to sell their products. Then the advertiser (client) will pay you for posting ads for their item on classified sites across the internet.

In other words, you post ads for people, and get paid for doing it.

What will it cost?

To become a member of Big Ticket Marketing it will cost you less than $100
Thats right, you will be set up with your own genuine home based business for $99.

This will be a one-time payment.

For your $99 you will get approximately 10 different websites that you can use

to sign up new clients or affiliates.

The websites are fantastic and are very pleasing on the eye.

Big Ticket Depot will also supply you with all the pre-written ads you will need to use in order to sign these people up to the business.

After this is will cost $39 per month.

For your $39 per month you will get your own "Back Office"

This Back Office will give you all of your real-time stats, it will list all of the commissions that you have earned and it will contain all of the tools you will need for your business,

such as: pre-written emails and correspondence.

You will also have access to You Tube videos that will be created for you to advertise your business with. Your link will be built into the video and you will recieve the credit for anyone signing up via the video.

Now, everytime you recruit a new affiliate they will also pay a joining fee of $99. You will recieve 50% of this payment instantly ($50)

How can i make money with Big Ticket Depot?

There are many ways to make money with Big Ticket marketing. Let me explain.

I have already explained how you can generate a substantial income

by becoming a Big Ticket Depot Affiliate

$50 per sign up will soon amount to a great deal of money,

especially as this business just sells itself.

Just post ads on classified sites across the internet to recruit new affiliates and you will be swamped with people falling over themselves to get in on this opportunity.

The next way to make money with Big Ticket Depot is with the clients who are selling their items. You can visit your own website and see all of the items for sale.

Then all you need to do is decide what you would like to sell.

You get to pick!

Then by using the pre-written ads ( you don't need experience in sales) spend your time posting free ads on all the classified sites on the internet.

Big Ticket Depot will tell you where to post these ads for optimum reults.

That is their "little secret" after being in this arena for so long.

You can spend 30 minutes per day posting ads or you can spend hours doing it. It all depends how much money you would like to make. Each client will also be asked to select a bonus that they are prepared to pay upon the sale of the item.

This will be between 1-20%

Then if one of your ads results in a sale you will recieve the bonus from the client.

eg. A yacht is sold for $1000,000 A bonus of 10% was agreed for the sale.The yacht is sold via one of your ads = You recieve $10,000 commission.

Now, that's alot of money and from just one sale.

What does it cost the client to sell an item?

For items priced between $1 - $500,000

The clients/advertisers will pay $150 per month

to have our entire team posting ads and selling their item for them.

If you have referred this client then you will also recieve 50% of this payment.

($75 per month, every month until the item is sold.)

Now using the example i gave about the sale of a $1m yacht.

The client would pay $300 per month, as it is over the $500,000 limit.

Therefore you would recieve $150 per month from this client until the yacht was sold.

And if your ad resulted in the sale of the boat,

you will also get the bonus commission for the sale ($100,000)

Not bad for item eh?

Think of what you could do with all those extra, regular commissions...

How To Use Internet Marketing To Build Your Business

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:42:00 +0000

How to Use Internet Marketing

to Build Your Business

No matter what business in you're in, you can put the Internet to use for you and use it to help you build your business and rake in more sales.

The statistics on how many people are online now are mind-blowing. As of November of last year, there are over One Billion people online. This gives all of us an incredible opportunity to grow our businesses – to global proportions, if that's what we want.

However, the Internet is not without pitfalls and obstacles. In fact, if you make the wrong move, you can find yourself in very real danger of losing everything you've worked so hard to build.
Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to using the Internet to market your business:

Create a professional-looking Web presence. These days with all the readily available

Website templates, blogs and highly affordable Website designers who can be hired to design a custom Website, there just isn't any excuse for amateurish or poorly built Websites these days.

Even when you add the cost of Internet access, hosting, buying the right domain name and the cost of having a Website built, starting an online business is affordable to almost anyone – and so even if you run your business from your home, it doesn't have to look that way!

Make sure that you've done your research. Find a hungry market that is already buying in your chosen niche. Choose a product that your target market wants to buy – the best way to do this is to choose a product or service that meets a need, takes away a pain or solves a problem. Competition is good – but make sure you choose something where you've got a good chance of getting close to the top.

Write a business plan. Even if your business is completely online, a business plan is your roadmap that helps guide you from where you are right now to where you want to end up. Business plans aren't just for people who are looking for venture capital or business loans. Include your plans for marketing and selling on the Internet in your plan. Be flexible and willing to adjust those plans as needed.

Start with the end in mind. Do you know where you want to end up? What are you going into business for? To make a little extra money? To build a business that you can later sell and live on the proceeds? Whatever your reason for going into business for yourself, decide what your ultimate goal is. That way you'll be able to direct your actions towards achieving it.

Brainstorm as many different ways as possible that the Internet can

help you to achieve your goals.

Create a vision board. Although some people call them hokey or old fashioned, having a vision for your business can help you to stay focused and moving towards what you want. Whether you believe in them or not, a vision board can keep you excited and motivated. If you do a Google Search, you'll find several companies that let you build a vision board online – and will even let you send it to your team, your mentors or other people who matter to you.

Have an action plan. Once you know your long-term plan for your business, it's easier to chunk it down and create shorter, medium and long term goals that will help you to achieve them.

Write down your plan for marketing on the Internet and make sure that you take at least one or two actions towards those goals every single day,Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who will hold you accountable when you need it, give you encouragement and keep you on your toes and stretching beyond where you think you can go.

Thanks to the Internet, the people on your team no longer have to live in your town,

your region or even your country!

Test, test, test. Whatever you're doing – whether it's banner advertising, using a newsletter, trying an AdWords campaign – or any other form of Internet marketing or advertising – keep testing your results.

(But here's a hint – when it comes to your copy, don't waste your time on unimportant elements – only test the ones that are going to give you the biggest return on your investment.)

Spend your time where it's going to do the most good – making money. There's so much information available – and so much to do online, that it's easy to get sidetracked and involved in activities that waste your time. If you find yourself with lots of plans for what you're going to accomplish in the morning, but suddenly the entire day's gone by – and you wonder what happened – then chances are you're wasting too much time online.

You can find some great time-tracking programs online – monitor yourself for a few weeks and you'll be amazed at all the ways you can find to turn things around and become more productive.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Develop a marketing plan where you're using offline as well as online marketing methods to grow your business.

Follow these simple rules for being online and marketing your business,

and you'll end up exactly where you want to go.

As you know I have tried a lot of things both online and offline and some have worked out and some have not.

I am not and never will claim to be a PERFECT judge of opportunities but....

In a NUTSHELL you and I can make money helping rich people sell their stuff online...Some of the people are people who WERE rich and are liquidating but read on..

This is intriguing. It definitely caught MY attention!

I have a real strong gut feeling about a project that an internet marketing mentor of mine (Joel) has started. It is called "Big Ticket Depot".

I have looked into it and read part of his business plan and it is something I can finally see myself doing online to make money. What I like about it is it is a CLIENT DRIVEN program. We are not out "recruiting" people but rather offering MILLIONS of people ( I will prove it) a way to convert their boats, cars, jewelery and other luxury NON essentials into cash.

People are hurting right now (even people with a lot of assets) and they are trying to find ways to sell off the things they bought when times were good. All you have to do is go to Craigs List or Ebay and their are millions of people struggling to sell this stuff. The other thing that makes what I am going to show you a winner is this...MOST banks are TIGHT right now on lending people money on these things because of the following reasons:

1. Most people have poor credit (even rich people)

AND

2. Most banks are not lending ENOUGH on these items so people are simply trying to LIQUIDATE (or sell) these things.

It is a total mess out there but I believe we offer a solution...

Sort of like offering cold water on a hot day.

This is where we step in. My Internet marketing friend (yes he is a friend) and mentor has created a program where you and I can help these people and make money doing it. It is wonderful and I cannot thank him enough for allowing me to be part of a "test group" that he started called the "100 Team."

At the end of July the programming will be completed and this project is going to take off. He is giving us generous referral commissions and bonuses and giving us several sites we will be able to use in promoting this to both potential clients and potential affiliates.

This program is a win/win and I see no downside to it. The entry is minor and when you find 3 affiliates to participate (and this is easier than other programs) you pay nothing each month to maintain your sites etc. Your literally in business for free with all the benefits.

I do not want to pressure you and do not need to because I have several people looking at this right now but I felt you needed to at least KNOW what I am doing here. If you want to be part of this, the company is allowing me to bring up to 10 people on board before the launch in July. This is something that is going to be big and believe it or not, people are already contacting my mentor to list their items and the site/system is not even programmed yet.

We would not be in this alone..we have lots of help from my mentor..

My mentor is busy creating emails for me (I will let YOU use them also) that I can send to people who are selling on various online classifieds and they are effective.

Think about this...If a person is selling a $1,000,000 YACHT, do you think they would pay $300 per month to list it on this engine that my mentor has created.

This engine is going to take their big ticket item create an incredible display that we will in turn post to a host of online classifieds for them as a service. The great news is I (and you also) will make $150 per month of that $300. Now some items will cost $100 per month to list with us so we will make $50 per month but that's great also! That pays for a tank of gas for some people! That is another dinner at Outback Steak House!

I know this posting is long but you need to look at this. Go to this page and review the details. Take the time to read it and really absorb where we are coming from. You will begin to see this project materialize and you can be a part of it in the very beginning...

Here is the link..

Be SURE and use

Go here: http://www.bigticketdepot.com/

(click ANYWHERE on the page..)

I hope you see what I see. It cost me less than what a dinner for 4 at Out Back Steak House would cost,to start this business..It is nickels and dimes compared to what can happen with this ( I like those kind of odds and I know you do also!). Also, my mentor (Joel) has a program that shows you how to post ads online to find affiliates and potential clients and it is free...Cost NOTHING...thats what I like about this.

Is Your Blog Building Your List?

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:54:00 +0000

Using your blogs to build an email list is very powerful strategy.
But are you using your blog to it's full potential?

Most people just add their opt-in format the top of their blog's sidebar
and never pay attention to it again - sure it will catch the odd new subscriber but...

Why are blogs so effective?

Because it's easy to get ranked in the search engines and because you can get
a ton of targeted traffic from all the new web 2.0 sites.

But...

what happens when they get to your blog?

They start reading your post. If you are lucky they will like it and read more
than one and maybe click on of you links.
But while that is going on they have long since scrolled past that first opt-in form
and chances are they will never see it again.

Wouldn't in be far more effective if your opt-in form would follow them.
Float down the page with them and be ready to grab the new subscriber at the instant
they decide that they like your writing?

Of course it would and that's why our friends John Merrick and Soren Jordansen
created the "Floating Action Button".

Check out the site, watch the video and see all the cool things this brand new
technology can do for your blog.

A Review of ViralUrl

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:12:00 +0000

So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online.
You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs.
Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money
with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do
some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products.
So far so good.

Whether you are promoting other people’s products
or promoting your own products - that doesn’t matter because after all
it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money.
So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money
on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.

Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive
but if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then
it could be very profitable for you.
Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into
affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room
for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance.

Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing.
If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business
will be at high risk.
One of the most important way to restore security
is to protect your affiliate links.
Do not take them for granted.
A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links
may cost you a lot of dollars.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your
prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can
create a lot of problems too!
If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will
definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they
would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function
then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser,
which will definitely put him or her off.

You could be a victim of even a worse situation.
What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace
them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.

Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities?
Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes
and state facts that actually happen in the world of Internet.

It happened with me until I came across ViralURL , that brought a revolution
to my online ventures.

So, if you are not getting the desired results out of
your affiliate marketing, don’t lose hope.
There’s definitely a remedy to this problem and that is ViralURL.com

Do I hear you asking, what is it and how can it help in averting
any adverse situation for an affiliate marketer like me?
Be patient and read on, if you love your business.

ViralURL is a link cloaker that protects you in the truest sense.
There may be many unethical people lurking around, who might play
with your affiliate links by cutting them off or replacing them with
their own etc. How much effort you put in towards building your business
and advertising your business, if your links are tampered with, then all your
hard work will be rendered useless.

In order to avoid such a rip off,
ViralURL gives you full protection and sees to it that your affiliate links
never get exposed to others.
So save yourself from getting ripped.
Get all the commissions to your account that you rightfully deserve.
All this is made possible by ViralURL.com

It is a blessing for every affiliate marketer like you and me,
who wants to achieve success in their endeavor.
Is ViralURL limited to only link protection?
NO!

It does much much more than that. Let’s see what ViralURL can do for us:

ViralURL helps in protecting commission.
ViralURL helps in building mailing lists.
ViralURL helps in tracking statistics.
ViralURL helps in earning extra ad credits.

In short, ViralURL allows us to create massive business leverage.
I don’t see any negative aspect associated with ViralURL.
All you have to do is join it for free, then cloak your links, promote them
and see your business soaring higher and higher.

You can get all detailed information about the program
from the site www.ViralURL.com .
There, you can find several unsolicited testimonials from
various users of ViralURL.

So if you want to protect your business and see your earnings grow,
try ViralURL. You have nothing to lose with it.

"Email Promos Exposed" Video Series: How to Write Killer Email Promos That Get Results!

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sat, 31 May 2008 11:02:00 +0000

Have you ever been faced with the task of having

to write an email promotion to your list, and

then realized that you didn't know what to say or how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen's new video course "Email Promos Exposed"

promises to solve that problem for you by walking you through

the actual process of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

If you're in a hurry, Click here to get instant free access to these videos:

I decided to see if Michael's videos live up to their promise by trying them out myself.

Here's what I found:

******OverallQuality*******

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the first video was the

stunning production quality. He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which is now the industry standard for creating high-quality screen capture video products.

The audio is near studio quality, and the graphics are very professional.

These videos were made by someone who KNOWS what he's doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by section, and then again by sub-section. For example, one video is all about the subject line, and then there are different parts of that video that each cover a certain area of crafting a killer subject line.

Now let's move onto...

****THE ACTUAL VIDEOS****

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, Click here to get instant free access to these videos:

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole course. You get to see a picture of Michael in his every day life, and he establishes his credibility right up front by talking about some of his massive successes online. He even provides proof of credibility by displaying two checks in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove that, when it comes to the subject of making money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever you're teaching people how to do something, it's good to establish your credibility up front, so that there's no doubt about whether or not you're qualified to talk about the subject. Most product developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other marketer has bothered to mention.

You'll learn things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer promo

* The different tools you need before you get started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing email promos... the subject line. The subject line is a confusing topic, because nobody's 100% sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this video, but now I know better

VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when writing their emails. Michael talks about how important it is to create an opening that is conversational, and then reveals techniques and examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email once they've opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY

This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the course, because it reveals techniques that are not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in most eBooks.

He talks about the importance of keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and then reveals how you can do that. You'll also learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body copy easy to read.

* The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to use it in your email promos to force people to keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their email promos. They start out strong, but when it comes time to ask the reader to click the link and take action, they don't know what to say.

Michael talks about some of his favorite techniques for making that happen, and also reveals:

* The "magic question" to ask yourself that will make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the "unanswered question" and why handling this is a surefire way to get people to act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most important parts of the email, because it is often the one thing that gets people to click the link at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use (this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some mistakes that I was making that I wasn't even aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're probably guilty of some of the things that Michael talks about in this video as well, and that's why it's so valuable. I've shaved years off my learning curve, because now I can avoid some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of money. Why? Because I used to only send out one email promo for each affiliate promotion I was doing. Michael showed me in this video how important it is to send a follow-up promotion, and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo's.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make the most money.

* How to overcome readers' objections in your follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL money is on the back end. I'd have to agree with them, but the problem is... most people have no idea how to set up a back end system that makes money. This video will teach you how to set up an automated back end that's loaded with killer promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot. He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back end email promos.

VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the entire package for a lot of people, because most people email their list to promote other people's products as an affiliate. Let's face it, if you only have 3 products, can you really afford to only email your list 3 times a year?

They'll get bored hearing about the same old products over and over again. This video sheds some light on how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than regular promos

(and why ignoring this huge secret could cost you big money).

* Michael's favorite tactics for creating affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your affiliate promos

(this is the most important section of the video, so make sure you watch it over and over again).

****CONCLUSION****

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs a lot of punch!

Most of the courses out there offer only watered down, weak content.

Not this one! These videos are going on my "A-list" for a long time.

I've already watched them twice, and plan on reviewing them every couple months to make sure that I have the principals, techniques and tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your business (and in my opinion, it's the most important part of ANY online business), then you owe it to yourself to check out Michael's exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Top 10 Ways To Reduce Your Business Costs

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Tue, 27 May 2008 09:51:00 +0000

1. Barter

If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter dealsusually require little or no money.

2. Network

Try networking your business with other businesses.You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut down on your marketing and advertising costs. You may also try bartering goods and services with them.

3. Wholesale/Bulk

You'll save money buying your business supplies in bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always running out of.

4. Free Stuff

You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites on the internet before buying your business supplies.You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds, online business services etc.

5. Borrow/Rent

Have you ever purchased business equipment youonly needed for a small period of time? You could have just borrowed the equipment from someone else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.

6. Online/Offline Auctions

You can find lower prices on business supplies and equipment at online and offline auctions. I'm not saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for these items try bidding on them first.

7. Plan Ahead

Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go on sale before you need them.

8. Used Stuff

If your business equipment and supplies don't need to be new, buy them used. You can find used items at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff for sale message boards and newsgroups etc.

9. Negotiate

You should always try negotiate a lower price forany business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a carlot.

10. Search

You can always be searching for new suppliers for your business supplies and equipment. Look for suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don'tjust be satisfied with a few.

Promoting Your Site in Forums

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:09:00 +0000

In todays posting, I'm going to give you some advice on how to promote your article in forums.

Forums are a great way to promote your business and indulge your "social" nature at the same time. Look for forums that are popular with your customers, and then become an active participant in them.

Not only will you boost your reputation as an industry expert, you'll also get some great inbound links pointing back to your site.

To find your customers' favorite forum hangouts, simply type your top keyword phrases into a search engine, along with the word, "forum."

Just be aware that there's a RIGHT way to promote your business in public forums... and a WRONG way.

(Remember... forums are places where people gather to chat and exchange FREE information -- they're not interested in being sold to!)

Here are 7 tips to help make sure you get the message out about your business, without annoying or offending anyone:

Forum Tip #1:

Lurk before you leap! Before you start wading into a forum with your opinions and advice, hang out as a silent "lurker" for a while and get to know the "flavor" of posts that are considered acceptable.

Every forum is different, so what might be considered humorous in one could be offensive in another.

Learn who the "regulars" are, what questions are typically asked, and what responses are given.

Then do your best to follow the accepted model.

Forum Tip #2:

Focus on "relationship selling" -- NOT product selling Forum promotions are all about selling YOURSELF as an industry expert, with a wealth of knowledge to share -- they're NOT about selling your actual product!

In a forum, gimmicky sales tactics and hype do NOT work.

Unless you want to enrage the other participants, don't post blatant "buy my product" advertisements. Instead, look for opportunities to respond to questions with the exact information the people asking the questions are looking for.

The trick is to sit back, listen, and wait for legitimate opportunities to share your expertise. This will help you gain the community's respect and develop a solid relationship with your target market.

Forum Tip #3:

Attach a "sig file" to all your postsAn electronic signature -- also referred to as a "sig file" -- is a three- to six-line footer that you can attach to the bottom of your forum postings.

You absolutely MUST make sure your sig file contains your name and site URL as well as a link to an informative article or newsletter subscription article!

For example, your sig file might look something like this:

All the best,

Dick Donlevy.

Not only does this provide a relevant inbound link pointing to your site for every post you publish on the forum, it also encourages other forum participants to check out your site and see what it has to offer.

Forum Tip #4:

Score brownie points by doing the footwork for others If someone asks you a question and you don't know the answer, admit it -- then tell the person you're going to do some research to find the answer, and will get back to them once you do.

It's a great way to prove you're willing to "go the extra mile" for your customers. (Just make sure you follow through on your promise!)

Forum Tip #5:

Encourage visits by announcing site updates Once you're a regular forum participant, invite other participants to visit your site whenever you add something interesting or new to it (such as a new article or a holiday edition of your service).

Just post a short note about the changes you've made then invite them to check out your website themselves.

Forum Tip #6:

Post informative articles that link to your site Article posting is one of our favorite forum promotion strategies -- and it's one for the fastest ways to get instant sales from forums.

The trick is to write an article that's full of valuable information your target market is going to be excited to get their hands on. Then, at the end of your article, include a short biography that plugs your product!

Here's an example...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Donlevy specializes in teaching real people how to start profitable Internet businesses that make $1,000 to $2,000,000 (or more!) per year.

To get instant access to all the most profitable marketing campaigns, strategies, tools, and resources that he's used to generate almost $1 million in online sales, visit: http://www.iwant2makemoney.biz/ ...

If the other forum participants like the information you provide in your article, you can bet they'll click on the link in your "bio" to see what your site has to offer!

Forum Tip #7:

Focus on forums that DON'T accept advertising.

There are two types of forums: ones that accept advertising and ones that don't.

Stick to posting in forums that DON'T accept advertising, because this is where you'll get the best response.(Why? Because there won't be as much competition!)

If you follow these 7 tips, and always remember to be a polite and helpful participant, you'll find that forums are a great place to generate more leads for your business. ...

Plus, you'll have the chance to "hang out" online with people who share your interests -- your future customers!

Are You Using The Four Letter Word?

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:30:00 +0000

The most powerful word in the marketing dictionary is made up of just four letters: F-R-E-E.

It doesn't matter what kind of product or service you're promoting, if you can use the word FREE in your advertising and marketing, then your response rates will shoot up.

People like FREE stuff. In fact, many people simply can't resist the word FREE!

The problem is, you can't use the word FREE unless you actually have something FREE to give, for example:

Click Here To Download The FREE Demo! Contact Us For A Price Quotation - It's FREE!

Take The FREE Tour Of The Member's Area Order Now And Get ***** For FREE!

Subscribe To Our FREE Newsletter!

Your Ad Here

These are all effective ways of introducing the magic word. However, the best FREE idea of all is the FREE ebook. It doesn't matter what kind of product or service you sell, you can use FREE ebooks as a promotional tool to carry your advertising AND build your reputation. By creating an ebook that is related to your product or service, and by giving that ebook away for FREE, you achieve three things in one go:

You give yourself a legitimate reason to use the word FREE in your advertising and promotion.

You generate FREE publicity for yourself by promoting your product or service from inside your FREE ebook,

You build your credibility by making your book useful and relevant to your target market.

To get the most out of this great FREE promotional tool, keep these points in mind:

The ebook must be more than just a blatant ad for your product or service. This could damage your reputation rather than enhance it. Keep your self-promotion present without being 'in your face'.

The content of your book must be useful and relevant to your target market. There's no point in giving away a FREE ebook that contains Internet marketing articles written by other people, if you're promoting guitar lessons. You'd be much better off doing a bit of research online and creating a short ebook on the history of guitar playing. After all, the primary aim of the FREE ebook is to build your reputation in the eyes of potential customers.

Encourage other webmasters/e-zine publishers to freely distribute your book to their visitors/readers. Be sure to state this clearly inside the book and anywhere you make the book available for download.

Offer to create customized versions of the ebook for those webmasters who want it. For example, you could place an ad for the webmaster's site on the cover page. This will encourage him/her to work harder at giving it away, thus spreading your message to more people.

Promote your FREE ebook by listing it on shareware sites and in ebook directories as well as on your own website and e-zine. So, get busy. Ask yourself what it is that your target market is interested in.

Make a book that feeds that interest and then start giving it away!

1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a "thank you" email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up every few months.

2. You could upsell to your customers. When they're at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.

3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales.

4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made.

5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product.

6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you.

7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will attract them to buy more products from you.

8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons.

9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.

10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order.

3 Tools For Affiliate Marketing

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:33:00 +0000

What does it take to become a successful Affiliate Marketer?

What are the ingredients of an affiliate marketing success story?

Is there a shortcut to Affiliate Marketing glory?

All these questions play around in the minds of affiliate marketers who want to make it big in this business. Although affiliate marketing is touted as one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, it is not as easy as it sounds.The wise affiliate marketer plans every action and executes it the best way he can.

He should also maximize the potential to earn by utilizing the right tools necessary for a successful Affiliate Marketing business. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are the top three necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.

Important Tool #1:

The most important and indispensable tool in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. The first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase.

Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts in building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to go and buy something. Above all else, make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. People will love articles that are appealing and helpful.

Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content will not only build your credibility, it can also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking.By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible expert in the field, making you a more trustworthy endorser of the product or service you promote. Establishing a good reputation is a good step in building up a loyal consumer base.

Important Tool 2

You must always be one-step ahead of your rivals to ensure that you capture a significant share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine.Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

Important Tool #3:

The importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. The all-important web traffic is at the top of the list of the most important entities in the internet world. Attracting people to your site should be the first step you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a high search engine ranking. Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to determine search engine rankings.

Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.One of the best ways to do this – at no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site.

The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.These are but three of the many tools that an affiliate marketer can use to maximize earning potential.

The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination, creativity, resourcefulness and determination. You can always explore other ideas and adapt other strategies, which you think might help you become a high rolling affiliate marketer.

How To Use Time Sensitive Offers To Turbo Charge Your Sales

iwant2makemoney@blueyonder.co.uk (Richard Donlevy) — Sat, 10 May 2008 15:39:00 +0000

My friend had not had a bath in over three days, there where pizza boxes littered across his apartment, and a funky odor filled the room.

As I walked into his apartment, I quickly became disorientated and started to feel myself losing consciousness. I felt my eyes starting to roll back into my head, and staggered to the window to get a breath of fresh air.

"John," I mumbled to my usually hygienic friend, "what happened to you?" He then gave me a wry smile and his eyes became as large as Bill Gate's bank account. My friend led me over to the TV where he had on "The Home Shopping Network". John needed to take some time off work to relax, but within three short days, had become a 'Home Shopping junkie'.

My normal, levelheaded friend, had become hypnotized by one of marketing's most powerful techniques: Time sensitive offers. If he didn't order "Peppi the singing fish" within the next 15 minutes, the offer would be gone forever. The Yoda phone that exclaimed, "May the force be with you" when it rang would disappear into a galaxy far far away if he didn't act now. They only had 100 left in stock!

As I sat there watching my zombified friend order useless items he would never use, I decided I needed to apply this same technique to my own business. I care deeply about all of my customers, so I wanted to make sure of two things: - My offers would only be for useful products and services. - The offers had to truly be time sensitive. The results where astounding. The first time sensitive offer I brought to my customers almost tripled my sales. I was immediately hooked.

Now I almost never make an offer unless it is time sensitive. For my offers I use a customized script that keeps track of my orders or counts down the time left until the offer expires. When my product is sold out, or the offer has expired, the script then removes the order page. I rarely make exceptions and extend the offer, unless someone had a problem ordering the product. So how can you implement this strategy into your business? To have a successful offer you should generally follow these two simple rules: - Make the offer truly special (give a discount, extra bonuses, etc.) - Make sure the offer is pulled when you say it will be.

I have tested 72, 48 and even 24-hour offers with impressive results. These kinds of offers usually pull much better than if I limit the offer to 20-30 packages. However, each list is different. So don't be afraid to test various offers until you find the right formula for maximum sales. The kiss of death, and quickest way to lose credibility with your customers, is to make an offer that insults their intelligence. Don't make a 48-hour offer, then run it for a week, just to make extra sales.

Your customers will quickly catch on to this, and you will see your response rates fall drastically. Treat your customers with respect, and they will return the favor by making your bank account balloon to new levels. Looking for quality resale rights products?
