The Guaranteed Way to Not Make Money Online

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:20:00 +0000

Bold Statement?

You bet, but after a boatload of frustration experienced by hopeful and would-be internet marketers it is about time someone laid out, in simple terms, exactly what needs to be in place to actually make money online.

There are SO many programs and courses out there that promise to teach you what it takes to make money online - for a small/large fee of course - and many times those courses end up costing you hours upon hours of time to implement, not to mention more money for the 'secret sauce to really make it work', and often you end up with a sale or 2 for all your laborious work.

Ridiculous!

In actuality it is not that difficult to make money online, although that piece of advice doesn't sell many products on Clickbank, does it? (sorry, no affiliate program for the previous statement)

Making a decent chunk of change online first and foremost comes down to one simple principle, yet so many marketers neglect to follow it - and end up broke and frustrated.

Here is the conventional approach:

1) Go to Clickbank, CJ, etc. and choose a product in a market you know a bit about

2) Get your affiliate link

3) Start a free blog at Blogger or Wordpress and post a few review-style articles on it with your affiliate link craftily inserted in the article(s)

4) Write keyword-focused articles and press releases until your cuticles bleed and submit them to the major directories with your blog link in the bio box

5) Watch the sales roll in and cash the checks

CAN this approach work? Yes. DOES this approach work for most people? Hell no!

The poor marketer that spent hours setting all this up is left with zippo except an empty wallet and sleep-deprivation.

Meanwhile the product owner (that contributes little during the attempted sales process) has a few 'super-affiliates' pushing the product and does in fact sit back, builds his list on auto-pilot, and cashes the checks - making sure to put Clickbank screen captures on the affiliate sales page to show you how 'easy' it is to make money online with the product.

Infuriating, isn't it?

This procedure happens daily, with new products launching all the time and affiliate programs attached to them informing marketers how they can make a killing promoting the product.

The fact is, the only ones 'raking it in' are the product owners and the people with huge lists they pummel relentlessly with new offers. Sickening...

This is, for the average online marketer, the Guaranteed Way to NOT Make Money Online - without a doubt. Unless you're happy with a 21.00 commission here and there.

So what is the answer? You need to build your OWN online empire - not the business of someone else! This is critical!!!

How should you go about doing that?

First off, select a market where people are actively looking to buy information or products. It does you no good to enter a barren market, does it?

MAJOR HINT: Go to Amazon.com or the local bookstore and check out the magazine section. Every magazine you see is a potential market, isn't it? If advertisers are willing to put up serious money to place ads in those magazines, you can bet there is some pretty good ROI.

Next, either create a product in that market or purchase the resale rights to an existing one. Many times they'll even include the sales copy that you can upload to your preferred web host. Now you OWN the product and the sales website - that's more like it, right?

Then you simply use all those promotional tactics you were told to use in your affiliate marketing efforts and apply them to promoting your OWN product(s), and you keep all the commission.

That's effective internet marketing - especially when it comes to actually turning a profit.

It may be easier to think of it this way. Create content - in any format you wish - that (preferably) promotes some type of free guide or mini-course, which in turn promotes a product that you either own outright or have acquired the rights to re-sell.

Don't make the deadly mistake of becoming a pawn and a pauper...be the King and own the process. Your sanity, and your bank balance, will appreciate it.

Free Traffic Generators - How to Get Free One Way Backlinks

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:48:00 +0000

One way backlinks are one of the best and most effective ways to get high positions in search engines and milk these positions for targeted traffic. But getting quality one way links is a big job.

Free Traffic System is a new project that helps you to get top quality one way links for free - unlimited number of one way links, because you build as many as you need. Moreover, Free Traffic System has integrated a brand new concept of viral marketing, rewarding its members with bonus one way links.

Before getting to the viral part of the project, it is important to explain where exactly you are getting these backlinks. The backlinks are built inside real blog posts, not in the footer or blogroll - in the very body of the real, unique blog post. This is the most safe way to build one way links, because you give real unique content to the visitors in the blog posts and search engines will always welcome it - search engines were created to help people in finding quality information in the Internet.

You get backlinks from relevant sites that belong to real people in different niches. Natural, safe and smart way to build backlinks for free. You submit one article to Free Traffic System and it converts into up to 60 top quality one way backlinks! And - unlike traditional article marketing - no one will delete your backlinks from the article, like they do when stealing your content from article directories.

The viral part of Free Traffic System is simple - they reward people for bringing others into this free project. You are receiving a BONUS backlink on every 3rd post that people whom you referred to Free Traffic System are making. This means you get bonus backlink on article No 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, etc. of all people who got into the system via the affiliate link.

As every article can be republished on up to 30 sites in Free Traffic System, this means that one article with your bonus link equals to 30 backlinks from Free Traffic System. 2 articles = 60 bonus backlinks, 3 articles = 90 bonus backlinks. And this is in addition to the unlimited backlinks that you can build inside Free Traffic System yourself.

And the final perk of the viral strategy. If you add at least one WordPress blog to Free Traffic System, they instantly increase the number of bonus backlinks by 7%.

So, in Free Traffic System you get:

- free backlinks that you build yourself
- viral bonus backlinks for affiliating people into the project
- viral bonus backlinks for adding your blog(s) to Free Traffic System

With this free backlink building power targeted traffic from search engines becomes just a matter of time.

Need Some Online Marketing Help?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:47:00 +0000

Especially when just starting out in the world of online marketing, most people run into the same common problem:

How the heck do I _____ (fill in the blank)?

It can be not only frustrating but very time consuming to figure out the answers to these types of questions. I know that in my case it was also very expensive trying to 'figure it out'.

Yes, there are many ebooks out there - just Google 'internet marketing' if you don't believe me - but many of them leave out the critical information you need to get actual, measurable results.

Another option is to seek out professional counseling in your attempt to get online marketing help. This is normally a pay-by-the-hour setup or possibly an email or 2 of instruction per week.

While it certainly helps to get pointed in the right direction by an internet marketing 'guru' - provided their motives are honest - it can also be extremely expensive online marketing help when all is said and done.

But there is another option that has recently become available in the marketplace...

What if you had access to the best ebooks on the market, authored by proven experts with proven results and a mountain of 'in the trenches' knowledge?

What if you had PERSONAL access to these experts in an environment where you could ask them any question you needed answered, right online, and the answer would be directed at you PERSONALLY in the form of an audio clip and a link to further downloadable information?

Would that be valuable online marketing help?

Certainly it would...

That service is here, right now, and available to you at a fraction of it's real-market value.

I'm talking pocket change here...

If you're really serious about succeeding online and getting the personalized online marketing help you need to cut through all the crap and save loads of time and money, then you need to visit this link immediately.

It's by far the best investment in my online marketing future that I've ever made, bar none.

Say Goodbye To Google?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:00:00 +0000

by Harvey Segal

You read that right.

I've told Google to push off.

Stop spidering me.

I no longer want my online business to depend on its ever
changing whims as to what makes a good or bad ranking.

I don't want to spend time collecting thousands of
backward links then find that they are probably worthless
because the anchor text does not contain a suitable
keyword, or the site does not have sufficient page rank,
or whatever the latest algorithm is.

I don't want to buy expensive cloaking tools and run the
risk of penalization.

I don't want to be bothered about whether a domain has a
static or dynamic IP address or have to use different
hosts to make a network of minisites.

What's that you say? You don't need fancy tricks - just
provide good relevant content.

My answer?

Nonsense.

I have a huge content site devoted solely to ClickBank,
the only one of its kind.

If you wanted to find the most relevant content for a
search on the keyword 'ClickBank' don't you think that
would be at the top?

Well Google used to agree with you.

It was ranked number 2, with only ClickBank.com itself at
number one.

Today it is ranked ... wait for it ... number 426.

It is beaten out of sight by sites which have nothing to
do with ClickBank but happen to mention that keyword once.

I asked a search engine expert about this and he suggested
that it was due to keyword density, in other words too
many mentions of the word ClickBank.

Well that has to be the case - the site is after all a
'Complete Guide to ClickBank'

His advice - try replacing the word ClickBank occasionally
e.g. use 'CB'.

No way.

That was the last straw and became the inspiration for me
to develop a revolutionary approach to getting traffic.

It led to me being called 'The Guru who said goodbye to
Google' in the marketing forums.

And this new approach?

It uses some of the fundamental pillars of Internet
marketing that you already know - techniques which will
never become obsolete.

But they are combined together in a new way and with a
viral twist that you won't have seen before.

It includes giving out free information in a certain way
and I show you how exactly in my book, The Ultimate
SuperTip.

And just to illustrate the principle: the book is free
and you can reproduce this article and change the URL to
point to your own rebranded version.

Read the amazing book which took the Internet by storm at The Ultimate SuperTip resource center.

Internet Marketing Tips - Review of James Martell's Backlinks Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:53:00 +0000

Top 10 rankings in Google are a pipe dream to most webmasters, me included. I had no idea where to begin learning, and I know I'm not alone. The seemingly impossible and daunting task of figuring out how to earn those high search engines rankings, requires an understanding of how search engines work, and I didn't have it.

James Martell does though. He is the author of the Affiliate Marketers Handbook and Online Success for NON-TECHIES - How to Take Your Business, Hobby or Profession to the Internet. He's more then a successful entrepreneur; he's creator of 'Coffee Talk', an ongoing series of interviews with industry experts, that he shares with his students during his SUPER BootCamp, which may be the most comprehensive affiliate marketing training available. So, it should be no surprise that his Backlinks Workshop, is leading the way again and helping site owners like myself.

To understand why Martell developed this workshop, consider his assessment as an industry expert: "Most website owners are confused or misinformed about the techniques that drive free traffic from the search engines to their websites. This is because they lack the critical understanding of what it takes to earn those top rankings; legitimate, non-'spammy' techniques."

As he explains in the workshop, the search engines give the highest ranking to the sites that are linked to the most by other search engine trusted sites. In other words, when a website has a link back to your website (hence the term Backlink), Google counts this as a 'vote', if you will. The more backlinks your site has, the more votes it has, and that's the key to high rankings. "In short", says Martell, "There's just no other way". He's referring to climbing ranks of Google; I say the same applies to learning from Martell.

James has released his latest training targeted at helping webmasters increase their rankings on Google by learning everything you need to know about backlinks. Through a unique blend of video and live training, Martell walks site owners step by step through process, with weekly lessons teaching each step of Martell's proven inbound link campaign. Dan Maynard, Manager of Marketing Tactics and the owner of www.piano-keyboard-reviews.com summarizes his experience by telling James, "I tried other methods taught by credible and well noted authorities but by far your knowledge surpassed them all! Thank you for teaching us the "real" nuts and bolts".

In the same down to earth, applicable teaching style used in his other trainings, James makes good on his promise to deliver and this is how it's done.

How Training Works

In a teaching style similar to a correspondence course, using a unique blend of weekly video lessons and scheduled LIVE online events, (to dramatically decrease the learning curve), you'll experience the following effective teaching and learning opportunities:

Weekly Video Lessons – delivered automatically each week; watch Martell, recorded live from his conference room, from your own computer on your own schedule.

Internet Marketing Tips - Website Traffic Series #2

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:07:00 +0000

Welcome to the 2nd installment of the website traffic series.

In the last installment we spoke about providing high quality, unique content that is of value to your website visitors. Today's website traffic tip expands on that thought a bit:

Increase Website Traffic - Method #2 -- KEEP ADDING High Quality, Unique Content

In a study recently performed by the top search engine online today (any guesses? think "big G"), roughly half of the 2.5 billion searches performed daily are for unique, one-off phrases. You need to keep creating quality content based around relevent keywords to your niche in order to better the chances that your site will come up in the search engine results.

(Linking is the second part of this equation, and we'll get to that in another website traffic series installment)

When researching keywords, think "long tail". For instance, instead of targeting a keyword such as "golf swing", target a long-tail such as "how to improve your golf swing quickly". Can you see how many more variables of the long-tail could come up in the search engine results?

For my keyword research, I always start off by using the SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool.

If you work at it, you can easily come up with a handful of good, long-tail keywords to target within your niche, then write quality content built around those phrases. In doing so, you may (over time) "hit" on hundreds of keyword variations.

You can then direct that website traffic to affiliate offers, a newsletter sign-up page, other helpful websites within your niche (remember, you're trying to add value for your visitor?) - wherever you'd like. You can also monetize that traffic with on-site ad programs such as Google Adsense.

Please keep in mind that search engines prefer websites that keep adding new
content gradually. Therefore - don't let your site go stale - regularly add fresh, unique and helpful content.

In the words of Super Affiliate James Martell:
"My own rule of thumb is this: Add a minimum of 1 article per week, 2 preferably. Adding an article daily is euphoria and adding 1 every six hours, well, that's the best."

See you soon with another tip to help you increase your website traffic.

Internet Marketing Tips - How Do I Start Blogging?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:06:00 +0000

So, you ask - how do I start blogging?

First a bit of history is in order. Blogs were first introduced as weblogs that refer to a “server’s log file.” Web logging has, over time, basically saturated the virtual community, which has made the Internet an extremely good source of information on countless numbers of topics.

The drawback with web logging is that you will need a web site and domain name. However, all you'll need to begin your blogging activities is a blog hosting account at a blogging provider, and quite often your account setup is free of charge.

More often than not, blogs are setup by individuals for there own personal use. They write about the goings on in their lives, activities, or perhaps base their blog around a specific issue or cause that is important to them.

However, over time businesses have moved some of their operations online, and blogging has become a way for them to increase their exposure, both of their brand name as well as their product offerings.

This increased exposure is designed to improve product sales as well profit margins, since blogging has such a low cost involved as compared to the costs of traditional retail channels. Blogging has become one of the best free ways to make money online.

Using blogs, businesses are able to provide useful information to their online visitors (potential customers) that is of immediate value to them.

Once this relationship has been established, the blog can then be "monetized" simply by directing the visitor to the company's website via a hyperlink.

If you are thinking of creating a blog, either for personal or business use, here are a few tips to get you going that should help differentiate you online from the other blogs within your category.

Here’s how:

1. Determine who your visitors are

The primary purpose of your blog, even if it is a personal one, is to give voice to your message - to be heard. Therefore, keep your visitors in mind and be sure to create content that is of interest to them.

2. Dress it up

Nothing makes a blog more visually applealing than a bit of intersting grahics. If it's apersonal blog, add some pictures that you can identify with in some way - this shares your personality with readers. If it's a business blog, add some product pictures, and of course your company logo.

3. QUALITY CONTENT

The purpose of your blog is to share useful insights and information, not just ramble endlessly with drivel. Always be sure your content will in some way be of value to your visitor.

4. Don't make complicated posts

Do not try and impress your visitors with your knowledge of the dictionary. Write in straightforward language that the masses can understand. This is not a college thesis - just a simple transfer of information.

Remember, many of your visitors will simply be browsing the web, and you do not want your posts to be difficult to read.

5. Involve audio or video to enhance interactivity

If your provider allows it, add some audio or video. This will enhance your blog by having your readers watch and/or listen rather than just read.

Additionally, allow your readers to comment or give you feedback. This gives your blog more of a community feel, and you'll gain insight into exactly what your visitors are looking for from your blog.

So, whether for personal or business use, blogs can be a great way to share information, get your message heard and build your network. Enjoy!

Internet Marketing Tips - Website Traffic Series #1

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:39:00 +0000

Welcome to the first installment of the website traffic series.

I've decided to begin a series of posts that will address the issue
of generating targeted website traffic, which we all know is THE
key factor facing not only internet marketers, but anyone doing
business on the web.

If you don't have the knowledge and ability to drive lots of visitors
to your website, it doesn't really matter how great your content,
pricing, etc. is......nobody will get the opportunity to see it.

Consequently, if nobody is visiting your website it will be virtually impossible for you to make money online.

Can you imagine a standard brick and mortar business opening up and doing no advertising to drive potential customers to their store?

Of course not...

That is essentially what traffic generation methods accomplish. The methods you use are forms of advertising that drive visitors to your website, which then gives you the opportunity to present your offer(s), whatever they may be.

So let's begin exploring the many options you have of driving targeted website traffic to your particular site on the web.

Increase Website Traffic - Method #1 -- Provide High Quality, Unique Content

This may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many marketers forget this critical element.

The web is cluttered with low-quality, "also-ran" websites that provide little, if any, useful information to the visitor.

Set yourself apart by creating high-quality, useful, keyword-rich content that will be easy for web surfers, and more importantly the search engines, to find.

As you progress, the search engines will consider you a more valued and trusted site, as compared to others in your niche or category.

Also, as visitors come to value the content you produce they will naturally want to share the information with their friends and business audience. This will lead to those highly valuable one-way links to your site, and they'll often do this without being prompted to do so - they simply want to share a valuable resource.

Keep in mind as you create your content that if you can in some way solve some type of problem or situation that someone else has, they will love you for it, return again, and share your website with others.

See you soon with another tip to help you increase your website traffic.

Internet Marketing Tips - What Is Bum Marketing?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:35:00 +0000

Have you heard about the latest buzz called bum marketing?

Bum marketing has been all the rage in the last few months and
there is a good reason.

So what is bum marketing?

Bum marketing is a very focused method of Internet Marketing with no advertising cost at all.

Bum marketing is basically writing and submitting highly focused
articles that contain keywords on a certain topic.

Just like the article you are reading right now.

Say you have a product that shows someone how to make quilts and
you want to promote the product, but you just do not have the
money to do so.

All you do is go to http://google.com and do a search for little
used keyword terms for quilting.

You want to put quotes around your search term so you can get
exact phrase matching results.

For instance, you could seach for the keyword "free quilting tips"
and you will see how many times that keyword was searched for.

The heart of bum marketing lies when you find a keyword that has
a good search results and few if any google adwords.

Then using bum marketing you can write up short 250-300 word articles that contain the search phrase.

When writing your articles for bum marketing you should try and use
the keyword phrase in the first and second paragraphs and then about
5-7 more times througout the article.

In the resource box at the end of your article, you will put a link
to your website so the readers will click onto your product page.

After you submit your bum marketing articles to a few article directories the search engines will index your article on keyword density and rank you high in the searches for your keywords.

Bum marketing is a great no cost way to make money on the internet. Give it a try.

Internet Marketing Tips - Three Simple Rules For Profiting From Internet Marketing Forums

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:16:00 +0000

A rarely used method for profiting online is by using
internet marketing forums.

Forums should be an integral part of your business marketing
plan. Internet marketing forums are a great way to drive traffic
to your product website and here's how to do it.

Internet Marketing Forums Rule #1 - Ask questions.

When joining a few internet marketing forums, one the best
ways to introduce yourself is to ask questions of fellow
posters.

Make your questions relevant. Be polite. Look at other
posts and determine the forums posting rules.

Don't ask questions just for the sake of making a post.

Get involved with the members and make sure to post only
those questions that pertain to the subject matter.

Internet Marketing Forums Rule #2 - Answer questions.

Here's where the biggest impact will be made with internet
marketing forums.

By anwering other forum members questions, you create a
good relationship.

Never post an answer unless you really know how to help
the person out.

Many times you'll find internet marketing forums being
abused by people who just post irrelevant comments for
the sake of advertising a product.

This is spam and will get you banned from the forums.

Internet Marketing Forums Rule #3 - Use a signature file.

This is a powerful method of using internet marketing
forums to drive traffic to your website.

Your signature file is simply an ad for your website.

You always place this at the end of your post when using
internet marketing forums.

Never just use a signature file without giving actual
help and useful information.

Again, you will build trust by helping others, and in
return they will visit your website and hopefully
become paying customers or subscribers.

Put these rules to good use when using internet marketing
forums for maximum results.

Internet Marketing Tips - Three Quick Tips For Internet Marketing Success

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:46:00 +0000

Making a living with internet marketing isn't hard, but
it does require a bit of knowledge to make the maximum
return on your investment.

The following is a beginners guide to making the most
out of your internet marketing business idea.

#1 - You need your own product or access to a product
that you can make sales from.

Ideally, you want to create your own product.

The best money making products for internet marketing
are information type ebooks, reports, etc.

If you've got a great amount of knowledge or expertise
on a certain subject, then you can create an ebook or
report on the topic.

If for some reason you can't think of anything for a
product of your own, then you can find many products
that you can sell by becoming an affiliate and earning
a percentage of each sale.

To find these products, simply take a look at this
website: http://clickbank.com

It's free to sign up and use.

#2 - Once you've created or found a product you'll
want to get the word out about it as soon as possible.

There are many proven ways to do this.

For example, you can go to http://google.com and use
what is called Pay Per Click advertising.

This is where you pay for actual clicks on an ad you
create for your product.

You do this by compiling a list keywords that are
targeted to your product.

Keywords are basically search terms you use to find
information on the topic of your choice.

Once you have a list of keywords, you can then place
bids on each one.

If someone searches for your keyword, clicks on your
ad, then you're charged.

The person who clicks is sent to your website for the
product.

If they buy, you make a sale!

So, it's a fairly simple process to make money with pay per click. That's why so many internet marketers use it.

#3 - A great no cost way of getting traffic to your
website is to write and submit articles just like the
one you're reading now.

All you need to do is write up a 300-500 word article
on your product topic.

You can also write a review or a how-to style article.

Just make sure the article is not an ad but gives out
useful information on your subject.

At the end of your article, you'll create a resource
box.

This is nothing more than a small ad for the website
that features your product.

You readers will click on the link and be taken to
your saleletter.

You can submit your articles to a great directory at
http://ezinearticles.com

These three tips should help you make the most out of
your internet marketing endeavors.

The Value Of Article Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:25:00 +0000

The value of article marketing is several fold, in that
it performs several different functions for the marketer
simultaneously that all work together to achieve the
common purposes of positioning and profitability.

The positioning is two-fold. Search engine listing positions
can be influential in determining the amount of traffic received
to the article and the corresponding sales page.

This is located on the other side of the link in the resource
box just below the conclusion of the article.

Also, the positioning as to how the marketing article effectively
pre-sells and qualifies the visitor to the website by
placing content that is niche related to the website, with
the product and/or service directly in front of the viewer
so that the viewer may then decide to become a targeted
website visitor or simply leave the article with the new
content retained.

Both of these positioning abilities of articles in marketing
make article marketing a very viable strategy in extending
market reach, web presence and even sales conversions in the
long run.

A well written article such as this one, or one that might be
created by the world's best article marketing service,
ArticlesInMyInbox, will be effective in search engine rankings
as well as delivering fresh, original, unique and interesting
content that keeps the reader captivated and longing to see
just what awaits them at the web site prepared expressly and
exclusively for their enjoyment and service to them.

Sometimes the most helpful advice can be found in that very
resource box where an ebook containing steps on how to build
a list or write an article would be.

Yes, sometimes, it's just simple to see the straightforward
effectiveness of caring for your customer.

After all, they are always going to be number one to you.

Internet Marketing Success - The True Secret To Internet Marketing Success

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:10:00 +0000

For many, internet marketing success is hundreds of miles away and
seemingly unattainable.

But in reality there is a real secret to internet marketing success
that many use - but few understand how to harness.

See, with todays' "download and go" mentality you have put
something on the back burner that was taught to you at an early age.

And that is patience. Patience is the true secret to not only internet
marketing success, but success with any type of venture in your life.

Yep, this little word conjures up quite a few emotions in you.

And now I want to put patience into context with your internet marketing success.

You must never think or believe that if you start your business on a
Monday, by Friday you should be able to quit your day job.

This is just not going to happen. You need have patience.

If you think that getting in on a "get rich" quick plan is going to earn
you $100,000 in thirty days by sending a dollar to five people on a list, then I suggest you go and flush your hard earned five dollars down the toilet.

You need to have patience.

Now, if you are willing to put in some hard work, and are willing to go
that extra mile, and have patience then you will achieve internet
marketing success.

Take your time with your internet business.

You obviously chose to start your own business to live a better and more fulfilling life for yourself and family.

Why would you want to rush in and take the risk of a failure, just because you did not have patience.

I will leave you all with this little thought that I have used over and
over again, and it has worked for me every time.

"Keep it fun, and the money will come." Just remember to never ever give up on your dreams!

You must have patience.

Internet Marketing Tips - The Top 3 Ways To Make Money With Internet Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:07:00 +0000

Yes, you really can earn a really good living and make money online with internet marketing and here are a few of the best ways to do it.

#1 - Sell your own product.

It goes without saying that you will make the most money with internet
marketing if you have your own product to sell.

This way, you get to keep all profits and set yourself up as a real
expert in your field.

The best type of product to sell with internet marketing is information
products.

Information products can be in the form of an ebook, report, cd, audio
etc.

Having your own product will make you the most money with internet
marketing - hands down.

#2 - Sell affiliate products.

You can also make good money with internet marketing by becoming an
affiliate for products that you do not own.

You get paid a percentage on each sale you make as an affiliate, and
you can find hundreds of affiliate products by going to click bank
at http://clickbank.com

You can sign up for free and you are paid every two weeks on all
sales.

This form of internet marketing is easy because you do not need your
own product or website.

#3 - Start a newsletter.

Without a doubt a great way to make money with internet
marketing is by starting your own newsletter.

Having your own newsletter is a must if you intend on making any
real long-term income from internet marketing.

You need to have a newsletter to keep in constant contact with
people who are interested in what you are selling.

The easiest way to do this is to start a newsletter and send out
useful content in the form of short articles.

Then mix in product promotions.

You will eventually build trust with your newsletter readers and
begin making sales.

Remember, internet marketing will take patience but the results will
be well worth your time.

The Top 3 Ways For Maximum Traffic Generation

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:45:00 +0000

It goes without saying that if you have a website
then you need to send traffic to it in order to be
effective.

Traffic generation is the life blood of your internet
business.

Without traffic your website would sit in limbo - an
empty unused vessel with no potential at all.

What follows are the best methods of traffic generation.
Some are free others are paid.

Traffic Generation Tip #1 - Write and submit articles.

This is the best free way of traffic generation and you
should write and submit as many articles per day as you
possibly can.

If you can do one per day great. If you can do 10 per
day that is amazing and will produce great results.

Your articles only need to be 250-500 words in length.

Make sure they are relevant to your topic and not an
advertisement or you will not get them published.

Traffic Generation Tip #2 - Post to forums.

Using forums is another great free form of traffic
generation and will send highly targeted visitors to your
website.

You need to post to as many forums as you can each day.

Make it a habit to post to as many forums as you can and
make your posts top notch, relevant, and helpful.

Become a friend to all on the forums. Do not forget to
ask questions also.

Forums have the ability to send a ton of quality traffic
if you use them consistently.

Traffic Generation Tip #3 - Use Pay per click advertising.

This form of traffic generation is not free and to be
honest can be down right expensive.

When you use pay per click for traffic generation, make
sure your key words are highly targeted.

Laser targeted key words are the way to go.

Never use vague key words for your campaign or you will
simply end up spending a ton of money and get little or
no results.

Pay per click advertising has the ability to be a powerful
traffic generator but should be used with the utmost care.

By using all of the above methods of traffic generation, you
should see a big jump in activity at your website.

The Top 3 Must Have Internet Marketing Tools

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:49:00 +0000

To successfully run and profit for your online business
you're going to need the proper internet marketing tools.

Without the proper internet marketing tools, you stand a
good chance of failing.

The following is a very short list of the tools you're
going to need to properly execute your internet business.

#1 - Autoresponders.

Without a doubt having an autoresponder is crucial to
doing business online.

It's one of the most powerful internet marketing tools
you'll have in your arsenal.

An autoresponder will help to automate the entire process
of following up, sending broadcast messages, collecting your
prospects data, etc.

You must have an autoresponder to business online.

Just do a search on google.com for autoresponders and
you'll have your choice of hundreds.

Personally, I have always used aweber.

They are a fantastic company, and their product and service
has never let me down.

#2 - Ad tracking software.

This is another must have of your internet marketing
tools.

Ad tracking software will help you know exactly where
and where not to advertise.

They are also a great help in running email campaigns
to your own list as they track exact clicks, sales,
etc.

This software will become vital to your success so don't
hesitate to get this up and running soon.

For a great, free tracking tool try TrackThatAd.

It's not only a fully-functioning tracking tool, but
also a business-building and educational tool as well. I
highly recommend it.

#3 - Video.

This is probably one of the most underused internet
marketing tools on the internet.

Video will help you gain the trust of your customers
and prospects.

By adding video to your website you can increase the
conversion rate by as much as 100% or more.

It's pretty easy to get set up.

All you need is a video camera and some software.

The best software to use is called FLV Producer and
makes it super easy to add video to any site.

Video can be one of the best internet marketing tools
you'll ever use once you learn how to harness it's
potential.

Using all the above internet marketing tools will help
your business succeed quicker and save you time and
money.

there, and has contributed greatly to the success of many through
his quality products and fantastic content.

Rather than recap the ridiculous, unwarranted attack, I suggest
you head over to his blog (remember I said great content?) and
read his response to it.

It's not only his rebuttal - it's a rally cry for all of us who

Internet Marketing Tips - The Perfect Home Based Business Explained

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:20:00 +0000

One of the most common questions I am asked is this...

"Hey Scott, Just what the heck is the PERFECT type of
home based business".

That is a very good question, and I think it deserves
a thoughtful answer, so here it is in a nutshell.

With all of the hundreds upon hundreds of different
"earn a secondary income" offers that come into your email or snail mail box, there can be what I like to call "option anxiety".

This is where you have 35 offers that all sound and
look super, but for the life of you, you just cannot
seem to be able to pick the one that really stands
apart from the rest.

Not to worry my fine hard working friend.

With the onset of this barage, you have forgotten one
little, simple thing that will always help you decide
which home based business offer is the perfect one
for you.

What is this simple thing?

You simply choose the one offer that makes you feel
comfortable and gets you excited!

Yep, that is it.

See, in order for you to really get behind whatever
home based business offer you decide on, you must
believe in it and feel one hundred percent comfortable
with your choice.

This way you can say for sure that you will be able
to get behind your choice and make it work for the
only person that counts - and that is you.

So, remember no matter how many home based business
offers come onto your plate, choose the one that makes
you feel confident that you can get behind your choice
100% and make it happen!

Article Marketing - The #1 Use For Using Article Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:00:00 +0000

If you're looking for a great free advertising source then
look no further than article marketing.

Article marketing is the best way you are going to find for
free advertising.

Not only is article marketing a great, no cost way of promoting
a product or service but there's another benefit that shouldn't
be over looked.

You also brand yourself as an expert in your field or topic
that your article is about.

To make the most out of your article marketing efforts you
should make your articles between 250-500 words long.

Fill your articles with great, useful content.

Make sure your article is stuffed with a solution to a
problem your reader can relate to.

Just like the article you are reading right now is giving you the
best ways to use article marketing for maximum results.

Don't try to sell anything within the article itself.

You do the selling in your resource box at the end of your
article.

Your resource box is nothing more than an eye catching
advertisement for your product or service.

You should make your resource box ad compelling enough to
make the reader click to your website so you can either
sell them a product or collect their name and email
address for future follow up.

Once you have your article written, spell checked, and ready
to go, you will want to submit it to an article directory.

One of the best directories is http://ezinearticles.com

You will want to write and submit atleast 1 article per day
for the best results when using article marketing.

Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:21:00 +0000

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money
online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you've got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...

*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more
about that later. First, let's talk about the videos
themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

Mini Site Profits

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It's important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll
agree that he has succeeded.

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, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

Mini Site Profits

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it's structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it's important to
pay close attention to this one.

from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as...

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create
the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so
they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of
your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you've been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit'
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it's that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you're going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you
can't just have a single front end product, and you'll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn
all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it's really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your
mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************

Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and
has more content than most 300 dollar home study
courses. And did I mention that it's free?

If you decide that you want to continue your

The deluxe course contains four full-length videos
that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here's a breakdown of each video:

*************************************************
VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END
THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you're out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************
VIDEO 15 - MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT
MAKE YOU MONEY

When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to
drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you
should focus on first. This video will walk you

you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.

Once you master these four, you'll never have to
wonder what you should do when you start a new mini
site. You'll have an easy-to-follow road map for
driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so
you can begin making money ASAP!

best kept secrets for squeezing maximum profit out of
any mini site. These are techniques that you have NOT
seen before, so you'll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it... if you're going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you'd want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you'll learn:

double your profits easily.

average order (which puts more money into your

Internet Marketing Tips - Take Baby Steps To Home Business Success

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Cofer) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:53:00 +0000

Starting, and then running, a successful home business
is a dream and a goal for many of you.

Many times this goal seems to be as unattainable as
you walking on the moon.

With the everyday tasks and responsibilities that are
put upon you, it can be hard enough to just make it
through your day without a headache.

So how in the world are you suppose to be able to
focus some of your energy and time to make your own
home business a success?

Here is how...

We live in such a fast paced society, that we expect
immediate results and affect for most of the goals
that we set and the tasks we perform.

For instance, when you purchase a meal at a fast food
restaurant, you usually get your results back fast.

The result being that you satisfy your hunger right
now!

Well, starting and running a home business is definitely
not like that.

So how do you find the time to achieve home business success
and see results as quickly as possible?

Here is your answer: "Baby Steps"

Yep, take baby steps to make your home based business a
rewarding and profitable success.

Slow down. Do not expect "overnight wealth".

It is just not going to happen that way.

You must have the conviction to stay your course and
have the patience to see your goals come to fruition.

In addition, consider relying on God to give you guidance
and patience during the process of building your home based
business. You may even want to try and find a stable and
solid online Christian business to pursue.

Take baby steps by defining and reaching small tasks
for your business on a daily basis.

You can't do everything at once. It is impossible.

Take your time and enjoy what you are doing.

Remember why you wanted your own home business in the first
place... to have and enjoy the freedom.

Once you understand that taking baby steps can and
will work, only then will you realize the beauty of
home business success.
