A Sneaky Affiliate Cheat . . . To Avoid

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:45:29 PST

One of the best ways of getting a profitable portfolio is recognizing when other affiliate
marketers are trying to cheat YOU out of your commissions.
Always make a habit of looking at the sales page of a product before you add it to your
portfolio. If you find any squeeze pages or any offers where your customer has to enter
their e-mail address, then avoid that product. Another sneaky cheat to avoid is through
affiliate links. If you find an affiliate link at the end of the sales page for a product, avoid
that product.
These are the techniques used by affiliate gurus to compile their opt-in lists and attract
more affiliates. And they’ll take customers from you, and in the process strip you of your
commissions.
How do they do this?
Let’s look at an example. If you send 100 customers to a product site or sales page and
2 or 3 customers purchase that product, you will receive the commission for it. But what
about the remaining 98 prospects?
There’s a good chance that they followed the pop-up window, entered their e-mail
address, or clicked the affiliate link for more information. This led them straight to the
affiliate guru, who used this information to bombard them with more advertising, free
offers, and product discounts, all of which are designed to get them to buy through
THEIR site, and not YOURS.
As a result, even though all of those 98 people were led to the product because of you,
you won’t receive a dime for it. This is how vendors – if they’re also affiliate gurus –
cheat other affiliate marketers. Choosing a new product with a clean and professionally
written sales page is your best bet.

How To Build Your Product Portfolio

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 08:36:03 PST

Whether you’re a “newbie” or an experienced affiliate marketer, I’d like to start by asking
you a simple question:
How many affiliate products are you marketing right now?
If your answer is that you’re trying one or two affiliate products, waiting to see if they’re
lucrative, and dumping them to move on to the next few if they’re not, then that’s the
wrong answer. Small portfolios with high turnover won’t generate income unless you’re
very lucky.
This method of product promotion is one of the biggest mistakes most newbies – and
even some of the experienced affiliate marketers – make. They’re managing their
portfolios like zombies, doing the same things over and over.

Unless you’re creating and promoting your own, original product, the best strategy is
usually finding and following the affiliate guru who is promoting a particular product and
earning more than $300/per day, and using their methods. Unfortunately, the super
affiliates won’t part with their secrets and share their success.

let me first clear up some
of the misconceptions about portfolio management. I’d like to also offer some advice
regarding the selection of affiliate products.

You should always have at least five to ten affiliate products in your portfolio. Your
portfolio should be in a dynamic phase. It should change constantly. Whenever you find
a good product, add it to your portfolio. Similarly, whenever you find that a particular
product has sold well but the demand for it is decreasing steadily, remove that product
from your portfolio. If you love your portfolio as it is, then you’re destined to never make
any significant money with it. Constantly watch the performance of all of the products in
your portfolio and don’t hesitate to add or remove products as necessary.

Selecting Your Products
Most affiliates start hunting for products in Clickbank. It’s a good place to start, because
Clickbank presents product data very systematically. There are 5 variables attached to
every single product: $/sale, Total $/sale, %/sale, %refd, and gravity. Many affiliates
think that the products with high gravity are always the best product to start with. That
couldn’t be further from the truth.
Let’s say you want to promote a “forex” product. Browse the marketplace using “forex”
as a keyword, and you’ll get the following results, with different variables attached to
every product:

Here’s what the product variables mean, according to Clickbank:
Dollars Per Sale ($/sale). The average net amount earned per affiliate per
actual referred sale (affected by refunds, charge backs, and sales taxes, but not
unfunded sales like returned checks).
Total Dollars Per Sale (Total $/sale). The sum of all initial sales and re-bills
divided by the number of initial sales.
Commission Per Sale (%/sale). The average percentage commission earned
per affiliate per referred sale; this number will not vary unless the publisher
changes the payout percentage over time.
Referred Percentage (%refd). The percentage of the publisher’s total sales that
are referred by affiliates.
Gravity (grav). The number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by
referring a paying customer to the publisher’s products (weighted, not actual).
All of the factors are combined and adjusted so that more recent sales activity is given
greater weight.
To improve their marketplace ranking, products must show a history of reliably
converting referred traffic to paying customers over the previous eight weeks. Products
that maintain a higher ranking naturally attract more affiliates, and thus make more
sales overall.
If you select a product considering only one of these factors, then you won’t get the true
picture of that particular product in the marketplace. Let’s use our previous example,
where we typed “forex” in the keyword box and sorted the database to show the
products with the highest gravity.
The product that came up at the top of the list is Forex Trading Machine. Looks pretty
good, doesn’t it? But if you select this product for your portfolio, then you’re making a
big mistake. I’ll show you why, and explain how you can find out about these products
that may look good on the surface, but which won’t hold up your portfolio in the end.

Use text ads as affilate program

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 07:22:12 PST

source http://midomssh.rab7net.org/2008/01/24/if-selling-text-ads-a-problem-use-it-as-affilate-program/

I joined TLA to see how it works. I have found that Text-Link-Ads actually makes for a great affiliate program regardless of how their ads perform.My friend Jake Rinard

mentioned before in his blog that TLA is a great site he also test it i really don’t remember the post link of his blog but it was from few months &he was testing this program myself as newbie compare to him didn’t apply it to make it work as i noticed that selling text ads reducing your page rank with Google so how to fix this then ?

You should definitely consider joining them if for no other reason than to get some affiliates to join under you and here’s why TLA affiliate program allows you to get other publishers to join (for free) and immediately pays you $25.00 flat fee for a referral. When ’s the last time you earned $25.00 just for getting someone to sign up for something that they get for free? Imagine if you signed up 100 people this month. do you see the potential? Even if you only sign up 5 referrals. You are making a nice chunk of change for doing nothing more than getting people to join a network that offers them the ability to make money by selling ads on their website or blog, and make money by referring others.

In July 2007 John Chow signed up 87 new TLA publishers and made $2,175 USD from Text Ads Link affiliate program.

How can you get paid using Text Link Ads?

If you are a publisher TLA will find advertisers that wish to place ads on your site. It’ll take a while until you build up enough traffic, incoming links, etc; but as soon as you get a bite, they’ll let you know. You can choose to auto-accept any advertisers, or you can hand select the advertisers based on what you think might be the most relevant. Be patient though, it takes a while to make your blog big enough to appeal to advertisers.

The second way to make some sweet cash from TLA is to join the affiliate program.
It works the same way all around. You sign up through me and I make $25. Your readers sign up through you and you get $25. YOU NEVER SPEND A DIME!
On top of getting a FREE $25 bucks, keeping the code pasted on your page may gain you some advertising dollars when TLA finds advertisers for your site

Ideas for starting business

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 11:10:58 PST

Sometimes the hardest part of starting a business is coming up with a business idea, whether a small business is a part-time one person operation run out of someone’s home or a multi-million dollar.

Many of the small business ideas articles will work as home based businesses. But if you’re specifically looking for a business you can start and run at home,

The personal computer. The hula hoop. Every successful business started with someone coming up with the right business idea at the right time. How do you do it? It doesn’t really take any huge feats of mental gymnastics; you just have to be alert to the business ideas that are all around you.

As i know most of people are thinking about blogging &write articles , it is ok if you know what you are talking about as a second way to increase your income beside your real work.

But if you don’t& you want use technology to make my new business work more.

Here is a few question you should ask yourself about.

what special service could I offer my customers?

How could I simplify contact with customers in my new business?

Have you had a difficult time with a project lately? Maybe other people have too. That
could help you identify a great new business idea.

Is there any way I can set up a trading system to help buyers
access these values before they expire?
Sometimes, a product reaches the market before production is increasing

Can I create an early-warning system to alert me to products that
seem to be in high demand, with limited inventory? Do I have access to resources for
shopping that other people could benefit from?

This one is pretty good if you join affiliate market

Every day, there are great new business ideas created by local and world events

It’s almost impossible to believe that the Internet is only about 20 years old. In
that short time, the Internet has revolutionized the way business is organized and
conducted:
• more people, in more locations, have more access to products and services.
• geographic distance is irrelevant.
• prices are up for bid; auctions are common; sales are rising; inventory is moving faster than ever.

Many products can be made or bought in other countries and sold to U.S. customers

U.S. goods can be shipped and sold in foreign countries.

Think of these categories

Food,Home Furnishings,Fabrics,Clothing,Sporting Goods,Building Supplies,Computer Equipment,Audio/Video Equipment

In other hand you can promote your real job online that what you really know & you do it every day & no one else can do it better than you i hope you got my point.

What smart strategies do I want to include in my new business plan?

Sometimes, it helps to think about ideas you can provide to other businesses at different stages.

For example

what resources or ideas can you use to help other businesses reach
customers more efficiently, manage finances, purchase inventory, develop fact sheets or
catalogs, and train staff?

You can create a company that helps install, teach, and create new users of
software? Can you write a newsletter to keep companies up-to-date on new advances or
uses for the software? Can you become a preferred vendor
In business, the term means a carefully defined target
audience for a product or service. Some examples: A shop that only sells black and
white clothes; a costume jewelry store that specializes in earrings; an accountant whose
customers are all in theater.
Niche marketing is very popular. Maybe it’s because people are so busy. Niche stores

how to add meta tag to your blog spot blog

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:47:54 PST

In fact adding meta tag or meta keyword to your website /blog is important for search engine as we can named optimize your blog for search engine or in popular name seo ( search engine optimization) seo is not a tool or programs it is a policy in how to do this.
‘meta tags’ are information inserted into the ‘head’ area of your web page. The information that you insert within the ‘meta tags’ are not seen by those viewing your site in a browser, but rather, for search engine crawlers. For example, meta tags can communicate to browsers on what character set to use

& this meta tag will probably increase your traffic if it is well written

Then the question is how to add it to my blog

another question after adding meta tag code which keyword i should use & how to select it ?

another question is how to test my work because i am afraid of different results ?

For blog spot

in blog spot you will insert a code manually after you login to your account head to layout then to edit html mark the small box then you should focus carefully with me.

look for first character(< head >)in the first few lines

Then after it you will add 2 code

(< meta name="”description”" content="”description" of="" page="" goes="" >)
(< meta name="”keywords”" content="”keywords" go="" >)

Then save your setting you didn’t done yet but to be sure you didn’t made a mistake in putting your code.

Then after saving successfully you back & type your description & your keywords, try not more than 8 keywords. The area in black( what you will edit) if you look at code check this web site for more details http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/chap15.shtml

After you type then you already do something.

Second after adding meta tag code which keyword i should use & how to select it ?

Simply use Google ad word tool for free make the tool check your website there is an option to let ad word check your whole blog &give you allot of idea to advertise with you have the option to apply for advertising or you take the keywords ideas from it then use those keywords for free .

Finally how to test my work because i am afraid of different results ?

There are allot of sites can give you that test for free just search for meta tag analysis for example this http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html

this is final tuning testing how are your keywords , description match your blog for keywords you must above 85% & for description you must be above 90% that if you want a better performance if you found your results too low change the keywords it must match your content

How to invest small earning

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 00:54:23 PST

source http://midomssh.rab7net.org/?p=33

I am going to say a true story here or in another word my own financial plan & how i improved my self.

then i will show how.

In fact you will be amazed or you may say i am kidding you but honestly it is true.

I started to think is that a way to earn from internet i have my own pc & i have much time 3 hours every day so is there a way to have extra income to improve myself

n last year exactly at January i start to make a research . I found there is paid to click or paid to sign up sites it allow you to sign up for free then they will give you money for every click you click sites it was .001 cent imagine & the paid to sign up section was minimum 5 cent sometimes you may earn more up to 25 cent &if you are from usa you will find some offers pay you up to 15 $ . i was shocked &i gave it a chance after working for month i found all i earn was 2.5 $

&i withdraw them then start to say it is useless the site was

it is really pay but &the minimum to withdraw was 10 cent up till now i was so sad then in February i found something say

3 referral levels - earn a commission from the earnings of members you refer:
-> level 1: 15%
-> level 2: 3%
-> level 3: 2%
so i check it out &i told myself if i invite my friends &convince them to work &they sign up from my link then the site will give me 15% from them work, so why not we make a team work &i find that my friend when he earn 10 cent he got all of them &me got 15% so no harm to anyone but i don’t have that much friends &in simple calculation if you invite 100 person &every one earn daily 10 cent &in a month my 15% will be 45 $ so i was happy there is a way to start from &all of them extra to me then i found it is hard to have that amount in month or to make all of them work daily &for example i have now in my down line about 300 &the monthly commission is 12$ in average so it is hard and to got all those 300 wasn’t easy

so in that time i got 2 & one of them was my brother funny huh ? &become sad again then i found something there a level of upgrading your membership i found it say

Gold Member
Free Referrals!
You will have 10x the chance to have your account be the referral of those members who have no referral.
10% Discount!
Receive a 10% discount off any item purchased through our Shopping Cart.
Only $9.95!

So i told myself that i will use my earning to upgrade my membership &it will be auto referral then after i done that i found that i get 40 referral in monthly average maybe more maybe less not fixed &i told myself to forgot about &keep it as it is & to look for something else so i looked for many other sites that is really pay to me &then test it from free member & then upgrade my membership there also, then if i have 12 $ from every site i assumed 10 sites it will be 120$ that is ok as i start from trash with nothing then found that is not ok to make a living from.

Up till last 2 month’s i was in that silly mistake till i found i could use them as

1- To pay for hosting or even buy a domain name so i can start from trash to have my own website or blog.

2-I said before the best way is affiliate marketing to have a real descent income .

3- I can use the 12$ i earn in a month for advertising my affiliate link or associated store. so i loved this idea i didn’t pay anything & i will sell real something in other hand if you earn 12 $ every month you can simply sell a 4000$ 60 inch lcd tv&your cut out is 4% will be 160 $ just from one sale

you will say none there will buy i say do u imagine that the site i mention above have up till now 63,243 member in it & you can from your earning there to advertise for a 30 days of Side Panel exposure for $5.95. beside your store link will have a good traffic .

so a good tactic that is you do a research in your store for what people buy this month much &simply put a link from your store to that product to make people check out then you are going to make a real cash then.

From all above i understand one simple thing if you could earn 1 cent you simply could earn 1000$ it is now my golden rule ,but it depend on how you think &how you use your brain to invest your little cash earning from the same site am i right .

If you like this idea whatever you earn zero cash or 10000 in month you use this & you will find it is really working it work with me &i will give you another great site you can apply for

Business events can be daunting

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 11:57:48 PST

As a small business owner, have you ever returned from a business event wondering why you bothered going, since you never seem to get any new business?

You’re not alone. Business events can be daunting. It can be downright intimidating to enter a room filled with strangers, break into a crowd where you don’t know a soul, and make small talk with people you hardly know.

Studies show that over 40 percent of adults feel nervous about meeting new people. One survey showed that about 75 percent of people feel uncomfortable at business and social events. Perhaps this is because our parents always told us not to talk to strangers when we were young.

It’s important to gain skills in networking, however, because networking gives you opportunities to meet prospective clients. Once you’ve met, they are a warm contact instead of a cold call. Here are some tips to remember:

Business networking tips for small business owners
1. Networking isn’t hit and run - meeting someone, exchanging business cards, and dashing off to the next person. It’s about building sincere, honest relationships. It’s an ongoing process that connects you to people in all areas of your life.

2. You don’t have to be outgoing to feel self-assured. Learn how to introduce yourself, and have a few conversation topics ready. They will help you build sustained relationships that benefit you and the people you meet.

3. Your goal at a networking event is to make contacts - not to make sales. Networking is for gathering information. When you connect with someone who has business potential for you, arrange to meet at one of your offices, or for lunch.

4. Business events are golden opportunities for making new connections and building relationships. Don’t squander these opportunities by talking to a buddy. Take small steps out of your comfort zone.

5. Always follow up after you meet someone. Send them a card or an email. Call and invite them for lunch or coffee. Ask how you can help them. Nurture your network, and it will support you.

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:52:38 PST

Unless you are already famous, chances are, only your Mom and close friends are reading your blog.

Also be sure to include a signature in every email you send, to anyone, with a link to your blog.

Blogging and Internet Marketing-Subscriptions - An easy way to build your blogging audience, which in turn increases your market share, is to offer readers a . As a subscriber, they can receive email notifications when you update your blog, or when you have “special” offerings for subscribers only. It is very important though, to be responsible with your subscribers email addresses. The last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

Your readers will also appreciate the fact that you care, and you are willing to listen to them, especially when you implement things on your blog specific to their feedback.

Join a blog network – Be active and productively participate in a that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. The links back from these relative blogs will improve your search engine optimization and at the same time, help build even stronger credibility for you with your blogging audience.

Use RSS Feeds - RSS feeds are the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site and offer your readers the ability to zero in on the exact information that is of most interest to them.

Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

Put your blog readers needs first, build a strong, credible base and become the authority in your niche and the profits will naturally follow.

How much can I make per day online

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:52:38 PST

This is a loaded question and impossible to answer in a short thread.

You should first think about what it is you are interested in, do you have a hobby. It is often best to start a business on the internet based on a hobby or interest as you know something about the subject all ready and you have an interest in that subject so it will make earning a living in the field easier.

It's not really how much you can make in a day. You have to set short term and long term goals to make money online.

Also you have to decide what you would like to do because there are many ways to make money online.

There are various factors to look at to determine how much money you can make a day so just don't look at it on a daily basis.

It Depends on the industry and type of job you're doing... there are some affiliate programs that who are paying up to $200 per sale so with good traffic and good website is possible to get a sale per day or two.

If you are going to use Get-Paid-To programs, which I don't advise, then it will take you a lot of time before you can earn decent amount of money, unless you know a lot of people online who can sign up under you and earn through their referral programs.

If you are going to use blogging to earn money from ads like Google AdSense or Text-Link-Ads, depending on your blog's niche, how well you write and how you promote your blog, it will also take a few months before you can earn decent amount of money.

How to Promote your Business

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:50:02 PST

You may not have the budget to build a brand awareness campaign ,but you certainly should practice advertising strategies that are built around your own business .
Home based businesses are rapidly gaining in popularity. Not only do they offer you the opportunity for freedom and the flexibility to set your own work terms, but you also have control over your financial independence.

1- Research Your Market

Research your intended market first, then create a product or service to fit that market
You must set aside approximately 3-4 hours a week (which is nothing compared to how much time most online business owners spend) and stick to the plan

2- Create a simple 2-5 page web site. Use an easy-to-use web page editor.and use other pages for information about you, your other products and whatever else you would like your visitors to see

3- A branded business has a memorable logo
Your logo is the visual component of your brand.

4-Give Away Your Knowledge

Writing articles and making them available for reprint is an especially powerful method of spreading your name. Published articles often remain in the public eye for years.

5-Have a Contingency Plan

Businesses go through rough times. Sometimes it will appear to happen "all of a sudden", but there are always warning signs. Learn to recognize the signs of trouble.

6- Make it easy for people to tell their friends and family about your product or service.There's nothing more powerful than a personal endorsement from a satisfied customer.

7- Do Something You Love

Find something that you're passionate about, and will enjoy doing. Business doesn't have to be a daily grind; it can be a true pleasure

8-Offer something free on your web site via an auto responder. Use get response.com to be able to automatically follow up with people who download your free gift.

9-Add TITLE and META tags to your web pages and submit them to major Search Engines. Make sure these tags are short and mention only what's relevant. Ask yourself, what word or phrase would I type in the Search Engine if I was looking for

How to start a Financial Plan

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:50:02 PST

The financial plan consists of a 12-month profit and loss projection, a four-year profit and loss projection (optional), a cash-flow projection, a projected balance sheet, and a break-even calculation. Together they constitute a reasonable estimate of your company's financial future. More important, the process of thinking through the financial plan will improve your insight into the inner financial workings of your company.

12-Month Profit and Loss Projection

Many business owners think of the 12-month profit and loss projection as the centerpiece of their plan. This is where you put it all together in numbers and get an idea of what it will take to make a profit and be successful.

Your sales projections will come from a sales forecast in which you forecast sales, cost of goods sold, expenses, and profit month-by-month for one year.

Profit projections should be accompanied by a narrative explaining the major assumptions used to estimate company income and expenses.

Research Notes: Keep careful notes on your research and assumptions, so that you can explain them later if necessary, and also so that you can go back to your sources when it’s time to revise your plan.

Projected Cash Flow

If the profit projection is the heart of your business plan, cash flow is the blood. Businesses fail because they cannot pay their bills. Every part of your business plan is important, but none of it means a thing if you run out of cash.

The point of this worksheet is to plan how much you need before startup, for preliminary expenses, operating expenses, and reserves. You should keep updating it and using it afterward. It will enable you to foresee shortages in time to do something

about them—perhaps cut expenses, or perhaps negotiate a loan. But foremost, you shouldn’t be taken by surprise.

There is no great trick to preparing it: The cash-flow projection is just a forward look at your checking account.

For each item, determine when you actually expect to receive cash (for sales) or when you will actually have to write a check (for expense items).

You should track essential operating data, which is not necessarily part of cash flow but allows you to track items that have a heavy impact on cash flow, such as sales and inventory purchases.

You should also track cash outlays prior to opening in a pre-startup column. You should have already researched those for your startup expenses plan.

Your cash flow will show you whether your working capital is adequate. Clearly, if your projected cash balance ever goes negative, you will need more start-up capital. This plan will also predict just when and how much you will need to borrow.

Explain your major assumptions, especially those that make the cash flow differ from the Profit and Loss Projection. For example, if you make a sale in month one, when do you actually collect the cash? When you buy inventory or materials, do you pay in advance, upon delivery, or much later? How will this affect cash flow?

Are some expenses payable in advance? When?

Are there irregular expenses, such as quarterly tax payments, maintenance and repairs, or seasonal inventory buildup, that should be budgeted?

Loan payments, equipment purchases, and owner's draws usually do not show on profit and loss statements but definitely do take cash out. Be sure to include them.

And of course, depreciation does not appear in the cash flow at all because you never write a check for it.

Day Balance Sheet

A balance sheet is one of the fundamental financial reports that any business needs for reporting and financial management. A balance sheet shows what items of value are held by the company (assets), and what its debts are (liabilities). When liabilities are subtracted from assets, the remainder is owners’ equity.

Use a startup expenses and capitalization spreadsheet as a guide to preparing a balance sheet as of opening day. Then detail how you calculated the account balances on your opening day balance sheet.

Analysis

predicts the sales volume, at a given price, required to recover total costs. In other words, it’s the sales level that is the dividing line between operating at a loss and operating at a profit.

Expressed as a formula, break-even is:


Break-Even Sales =	Fixed Costs
Break-Even Sales =	1- Variable Costs

(Where fixed costs are expressed in dollars, but variable costs are expressed as a percent of total sales.)

Include all assumptions upon which your break-even calculation is based.

online Business Strategy

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:47:59 PST

Some of the biggest mistakes in business strategy arise when the manager is unable to see past his own nose - for instance, when Detroit's car giants didn't spot the trend of smaller cars, unlike the Japanese companies; or when IBM similarly overlooked smaller computers.

Business strategy experts like Faith Popcorn of BrainReserve reached conclusions by careful observation of the present rather than looking at the past. But no wild estimates are made about the future, in which absolutely anything can happen.

The Popcorn Report, Faith's book, contains predicted big trends that are difficult to argue with because they are already happening. For instance:

'Cocooning' - people using their homes for activities more commonly done away from the home in the past, an example being internet shopping.

A great many entrepreneurs have already built their business strategy around these ever growing trends and are reaping the benefits. To join their ranks, you have to emulate Popcorn and keep your eyes and ears peeled to spot the present trends and gain a full understanding of them. Observe the business strategies used by the big companies - they don't get it wrong very often.

But rather than jump on any bandwagon, you have to create your very own business strategy from the current trends.

Understand why people buy to success your business

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:50:02 PST

People buy is a solution to a problem.

Believe it or not, no one actually buys your service. No one buys coaching. No one buys consulting. No one buys financial planning. So why people buy?

People buy a service only because they believe it will solve certain problems and give them certain results। They are not buying the "how" of a service. Your service is simply the "how" you do it.
Your service is the tool or method you use to solve problems and deliver results।

Do you buy a car because you just want a car? Do you go to the dentist because you happen to feel like being drilled? These examples show you that you are buying a solution to a problem; you are buying a result। You would not buy a car or go to the dentist unless they all solved problems and delivered results.

If people do not know what problems you will solve for them and the results you will deliver, it is highly unlikely that they will buy your service। If however you focus on understanding their problems and the results they will get, you will be focusing on what people are buying and your chances of success will be dramatically increased.

Once someone has decided they have a problem they want solved, they then make a decision as to who will solve it for them। If you have focused the conversation on telling them all about your "how" and what your service is, they will feel that you are focused on yourself and your needs. When the focus is on you, people get the sense that you have your own best interest at heart and don't really care about them. They will start to think you are simply trying to sell them something, and all sorts of sales resistance will surface.

So in summary, don't focus on selling your services. Instead, have conversations where you focus on understanding problems and then people will assume you know "how" to deliver results. The more you focus on understanding their problems, the more they will trust that you are the one they should be working with.

Few ways to advertise

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 07:14:18 PST

Here are just a few ways to advertise on the internet:

Traffic Exchanges- are a free way to advertise on the Internet. Although traffic exchanges are effective, they are a very time consuming way of getting free advertising. If you are on a budget, they are a good option.

Blogging- is one of the most powerful ways to advertise on the Internet-and it's free. Using RSS feed or pinging, you can get your new blog site listed on many search engines in a very short period of time. The more blogs that you set up, the more your sit will get noticed. Most blog sites are free to use, but some do charge a fee.
Write Articles- and submit them to as many free article submission sites as possible. This is a very effective way of getting an unstoppable flow of traffic to your website. Make sure that your articles are well written, and contain information that your readers will enjoy and find useful. Be careful not to post an advertisement that will not produce any results. Take the time to write an impressive article about your business, hobby, or whatever else you are trying to promote, then attach your signature file and the link pointing back to your site. You can find many sites that will automatically submit your article for you.

Post in Forums- by creating a new post or by replying to topics already in existence within forums and attaching your signature file to them. This is another affective way to advertise for free. In addition, offer people good ideas or quality answers to their questions. If you are unsure of the answers to certain questions, use the internet to find and post your answers. This may take some time, but it is well worth the effort. They key is to post on many different forums on a regular basis

Tips To Increase Conversion Rates

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:28:40 PST

i found this in dtm forum
Site owners spend so much time and money on search engine optimization that they often leave conversion optimization to chance. They’re happy with a 1% - 2% conversion rate, the typical rate for smaller sites. Converting visitors to buyers is part science, part art. No one formula fits all sites but here are 25 tips that will boost conversion rates on most commercial sites.

1. Keep it simple. The simpler it is for visitors to complete a purchase the more purchases (and fewer shopping cart abandonments) you’ll see. Make it simple to find the product and go through the checkout process.

2. Provide complete contact information including a telephone number. Buyers want to know you’re real and they want to know how to reach you in case of a problem.

3. Provide encouragement throughout the checkout process. The best way to do this is to let buyers know what stage of checkout they’ve reached, and to provide them with highlighted signage to let them know what to do next.

4. Use product pictures in shopping carts. This reminds visitors what’s in their carts. It also reinforces, in the visitor’s mind, the reason(s) for the purchase.

5. Link back to the product page. After an item has been placed in the shopping cart, the visitor should be able to click on the item and be directed back to the product page in a new window for example. This makes buying comparisons easier and ensures the visitor has the right item for his/her needs without leaving the shopping cart.

6. Don’t keep shipping costs a secret. Nothing kills a conversion faster than a $19.95 shipping and handling charge on a $10 item. Provide shipping cost information on the first page of the checkout.

7. Is it backordered? The visitor finally reaches the end of the checkout only to discover that the item isn’t in stock. Do you think they’ll come back when the item comes in? They won’t.

8. Provide complete product information including sizes, colors, styles and other product descriptors. This will cut down on product returns because buyers will know what they’re actually purchasing. Avoid hyping products for the same reason.

9. Keep terms of service (TOS) simple and unambiguous. What’s your guarantee? What’s your return policy? Eliminate the boilerplate and give them the facts.

10. Provide a menu of payment gateways. Not all buyers want to pay by credit card. Some don’t even have a credit card. Buyers should be given the option to pay by debit card, personal check (snail mail), PayPal and other similar services, bank transfer and, if the want to stop by to pick it up, you’ll even take cash.

11. Never blame the buyer. When a potential buyer clicks on the wrong link, or forgets to enter all data fields, put up a message explaining the problem and how to fix it. The customer is always right and it’s always your fault. Period.

12. Offer gift cards. Some buyers just don’t know what to buy as a gift. A gift card solves the problem.

13. Use real testimonials. If you’re doing it right, you’ve gotten good feedback from some buyers. Ask permission to use their testimonials. Don’t use fake testimonials signed by Diane E., California. It’s an obvious fake testimonial.

14. Provide a customer service line. Outsource it if it isn’t part of the budget but buyers want to know there’s help in setting it up, whatever “it” is.

15. Avoid distracting links. If your home page is crammed with PPC ads and links to other sites, it’s distracting and you’ll see a lot more bounces (visitors who never get past the home page).

16. Offer incentives. Free shipping encourages buyers. So do upgrades, i.e. “Spend at least $50 and receive 10% off your entire purchase.” Some buyers will do the math and figure out they’re getting something for half price.

17. Welcome repeat visitors by name. Your customer data base is filled with solid gold information including names, purchase amounts, items purchased and so on. First, welcome a return buyer by name. Then, offer suggestions for purchase based on individual buying histories. (See Amazon.com for examples of using data base information to boost conversion ratios.)

18. Provide a currency converter. Not all buyers will be using your country’s currency. Make it easy to convert from euros to drachmas to dollars.

19. Offer a free newsletter. Your regular buyers will appreciate it when they’re notified ahead of time of upcoming specials, new product launches and other site related information.

20. Add a forum. This is a great way for buyers to share information, make recommendations and complain. It’s also a great way for you to handle complaints quickly, with the resolution posted right there on the complaint thread.

21. Provide informational content on your site. This establishes your credentials and credibility as an authority, whether you’re selling kayaks or bake ware.

22. Learn from your competitors. Visit the sites of more-established competitors to see what they’re doing to convert. How is the homepage designed? Navigation? Checkout? You can’t copyright an idea so you might as well “borrow” from the best.

23. Improve site stickiness. In other words, give buyers a reason to return. Some suggestions? The Sale of the Day, Tip of the Day, Your Horoscope, This Day in History, etc. This keeps your site green and visitors returning.

24. Let buyers post product reviews. Nothing sells better than a positive review from another buyer. Of course, the converse is true, too. Nothing will kill a sale faster than a bad review. And if a product receives lots of bad reviews, drop it from your product line.

25. Target your site’s skin to your demographic. If you’re selling collectible knives, your site should have a certain “look” and that look doesn’t include pastels and prissy type. Big, bold and manly – that’s the way to go. On the other hand, if you’re selling needlepoint patterns, a nice pastel background with little flowers works perfectly.

Search engine optimization is designed to attract search engine spiders. It’s also intended to ensure that your site is accurately and completely optimized. But, once traffic arrives on site, conversion optimization takes over.

Keep it simple. Keep it easy. Keep it honest. Not only will you see a boost in conversion ratio, you’ll also see a nice pop in return buyers. And they’re the best buyers any web site owner could ask for.

how to avoid the top SEO Mistakes

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:53:29 PST

u can see many Companies providing SEO services. Some SEO guys use purely ethical SEO techniques, while others use unethical SEO. Even the person who hired the SEO guy do not know about this. When his site get punished that time he came to know.
So the conclusion is, if you want to hire SEO, choose a reputable SEO consultant, one who will keep in regular contact with progess reports and updates.

.Use of black-hat techniques :
Same as i mentions above, techniques such as doorway pages, stuffing keywords, hidden text etc are the examples of black-hat tech. So if you want long term success, avoid such techniques.

Expecting Immediate Results :
you wil never get immediate results in SEO. You must have patience in you. Succesful SEO requires good link building which takes time. SO you must agree to spend lots of time with good patience.

house optimization :
In past even now also many people think, they can do SEo their own. They feel SEO is an easy task to do.
But SEO is not that much easy. It involves undrstanding google's complicated algo. and according to that they have to optimize the site to rank well in SEs.

Untargeted keywords :
Many times some SEO ignore main keywords and only work for untargeted keywords. After getting good rankings, if they dont get enough traffic, they complain about that.
So they have to choose right keywords for optimization which give them good traffic.

Unneccessary graphics and flash :
Many webdesigners, just for good looking of sits put heavy graphics and flash in site. As you know crawlers dont crawl graphics or flash. So avoid putting havy flash or graphics on site instead put combination of small graphics / flash with good amount of unique content.

non-relevant link :
As you know if you have more backlinks, chances of getting good ranking in google increased. But many SEOs just count irrelevant links as a backlinks. They dont care whether the backlinks coming from are relevant with their site or not. Google dont consider such links.

Multiple SE submission :
Nowadays search engine submission is not necessary. Sites get indexed and ranked naturally if they have related backlinks with them. Multiple submissions may consider as an attempt to spam the search engines.

Title tag :
We can see many title tags of different sites have their company or product name. But recommended is you shoud place your main keywords or keyphrases in title tag. Also keep title tag less than 65 character long.

All search engines are not same :
Many people think all search engines are same. Optimize your content, keywords, links so that there is something for at least one of the three top search engines.

THE BEST WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:50:02 PST

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 1
Make money selling your own product
Yes, you can do this without spending money. This is the path most small business take - and probably the most profitable one.
It is also the most difficult one of the 4 ways to make money without money. It's difficult and time-consuming. If you're forced to do it without a budget, it will be even more time-consuming. But you're determined to build a profitable, long-term Internet business, right? Hard work is not a problem. Right?
The most difficult part of this method is the product development.
What can you make without spending a penny? Something that people will still buy from you?
The answer lies in information products. We all have marketable skills. You're an expert in something.
Do you know a lot about cars?
Write a mini-book on basic engine maintenance.
Know a lot about kids?
Write a book called "101 Ways To Keep 2-year olds entertained" - you've already got your first buyer right here!
This is really doable. There are people who'd pay to know what you know.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 2
Make money selling someone else's product
When you sign up as an affiliate / reseller for someone else's product, you refer people to the "supplier site" and you get a cut each time someone who you referred makes a purchase. It really is that simple. Probably the most doable of the ways to make money without money.
But you will only make money at affiliate programs if you can find a good supplier. One that's honest about tracking of sales and one that will pay on time.
I highly recommend the Biz-Logo.com Logo Design Affiliate Program. It's great if you target small business owners who might be in the market for a business logo or other graphic design work.
You can't believe everything you read about affiliate programs, but they can really make money. A significant portion of my own Internet income is from affiliate programs. There are a couple of things you have to get right though. That book I mentioned above also looks at some of the best ways to make money with affiliate programs.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 3
Make money selling advertising space
The idea behind it is to offer free information from your web site to pull in high volumes of traffic. Once you've achieved that, advertisers would pay you to display their advertisements on your site. This is probably one of the oldest and most hyped ways to make money without money.
It worked really well until the end of 2000. It's how Yahoo became big. With the dotcom bust in 2000, even Yahoo was forced to look to alternative revenue streams. Advertisers began to realize that, in most cases, web advertising is just not cost effective.
Nowadays most people don't click ads right?
Right?
Wrong! There's life in this old machine yet...
Contextual advertising (like Google's AdSense program) offers a real alternative to traditional advertising - and many web site owners are rediscovering this tried and tested way of making money from their web sites.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 4
Make money doing what you already do
This is not for you if you're looking to build a serious small business on the Net. It's the easiest of the ways to make money without money, but because it's easy, it doesn't pay much.
Very little in fact.
It mostly involves getting paid to surf the Internet and getting paid to take surveys. It's like stuffing envelopes for money. If that blows your hair back, type "getting paid to do surveys" into the search box at Google and hit "Enter". Take your pick. Don't expect to get rich though.

How can I make money online?

noreply@blogger.com (freemind) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:50:02 PST

That is a very simple popular question for the newbie who want start his/her online business
let us start from the beginning
1- I am new here. I want to make money online. Can anyone tell me exactly how can I make money online?
2-How i don't spend extra money to start ?
3- I don’t have the exact information where to found?

SO THIS IS VERY STRAIGHT &POPULAR all face it before why we don't make it simple &easy

I will post here simple idea to start from

The answer

1- One simple idea is to start Blogging and gets money from ads

2- start with promotion... You can join in some PTC but is hard to earn money because the money of clicks is 0.01 or 0.0001&pts

3-Create a site it may cost you as low as 20$/year (hosting included). And install a blog or forum write in it. Everything you think it is interesting news, information, articles, video or something that happened to you that day

4- . If you are an expert in at least one of the following areas: writing, data entry, data research, project management, photography, audio and video services, web design, graphic design, web marketing, SEO, programming (PHP, ASP, C/C++, Perl, Java, etc.), you can work completing projects for others as a freelancer. Check out the source below for more information about freelancing. It is completely free way to make money online.

5- You can join some free affiliate programs, set up a web page or a blog, put your affiliate link on your web page/blog, write some description or review and than promote your web page/blog on the Internet. This is relatively easy to do and the toughest part is web promotion. Ad sense ads are also great and you can put them on your web page/blog as you will be paid for every click on those ads from your pages. This can also be free unless you pay for web hosting and domain name of your website.

6- You can also set up a web store where you can sell various products to your visitors. Best selling products online are software products (e books, programs, games etc.) as your customers can download them instantly after they make a purchase and no shipping & handling are required. You can create these products yourself, pay someone to create them for you, or buy already created product with resell rights and then sell them.

7- You can start online trading (stocks or forex), but this is risky as there is possibility of losing money.

There are many more ways to earn money online but basically they all can be put in one of in these categories.

Be very careful of money making scams as Internet is full of them. That there is no easy way to earn money and you will have to make an effort no matter how easy it sounds. Everything that sounds "too easy to be true" most probably is.
