by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Want to use your business to get rich? Of course you do! Then why aren't you giving away more?
Counter intuitive though this thought may appear, it contains the key truth of business success: the more you GIVE AWAY, the richer you get!
How much did you give away yesterday? How much the day before?
Right this minute, with the worldwide economy in the doldrums and likely to remain so for some time, millions of business owners are scratching their heads for ideas on how to spur crucial sales. All sorts of ideas, from the daft to the expensive, are being advanced.
Yet the solution to getting more sales is plain: Don't just sell your customers something, dazzle them with everything you will give them in addition to the actual product or service they pay for.
Focus the customer on an absolutely stunning offer
Look at everything you sold in the last few days. Were your customers buying products... or were they motivated by offers packed with additional benefits, benefits you were giving away as inducements to motivate faster sales?
In other words, did you make sales because you gave away one thing after another, which made purchasing the items in question an absolute no-brainer?
Start by brain storming what you can give away
Most businesses have NEVER made a systematic effort to determine just what they can give away to induce more sales faster. This, however, is key and must be done at once.
Go through every single product and service you offer. What can you give away:
* more of the product or service * free delivery * free shipping * discount coupons for future sales * a special limited time offer * service and support
Get the picture? Before you can fashion high-octane offers, you must develop a list of EVERYTHING you've got and can give away to motivate more present and future sales.
Study other people's offers and give-aways
The great thing about being in business is that paying attention to what other businesses are doing (and not just competitors either) can benefit you every single day. Thus, wherever you go, review what companies are doing to get your business; can you use or adapt them to your business success?
Develop a "give-away" mentality.
Business, you have been told, is all about closing sales, in other words about "working" the customer. If you buy into this point of view, you're in for a lifetime of drudgery and hard work. STOP IT!
Instead, consider yourself in the business of crafting spectacular bonus offers that enable you to make sales the very easiest way: by so exciting customers about the freebies and great offers they get that they'll do anything to get them! Doesn't this sound a whole lot easier and more fun that "closing sales"?
Start today, review today, improve today
Right now you're probably still trying to get your head around the concept that the more you give away the richer you'll get. Fair enough. But don't wait because of that to get started.
Today is the perfect day to start... as well as the perfect day to review what occurred AND to make improvements (like giving away even more).
You see, as long as your objective is maximizing your wealth... you're in the business of increasing the amount you give away and enhancing customer motivation. And if wealth is your goal, you must do what it takes to become a world-class expert in giving away, giving away, giving away. Because that is the sure-fire way to get wealthy.

What You Can Do To Become Successful At Internet Marketing
As you gain more experience in the realm of internet marketing, you will find out that the methods and techniques used by the experts aren't that complicated at all. With articles like these, containing good information and tips on how to succeed, you can formulate a plan and experience true success via internet marketing.
One of the most important and least expensive things you can do to get your web site seen, is to rank high for your keywords on the major search engines. They should be ranked high in natural searches, not ads. This strategy is called search engine optimization, often abbreviated SEO.
Learn to mine for data if you want to have a successful internet marketing campaign. Data mining will require a lot of research from different angles and there is software that can assist you in the process, especially in terms of making sense of the data. But you'll have to become an efficient miner, if you want to see where you're succeeding and where you're going wrong.
Spend money on professional design services if you intend to make a logo part of your internet marketing strategy. While logos can be bold, memorable symbols for your business, designing them is trickier than you can imagine. It is not a job to be turned over to your teenage nephew who is "a real Photoshop wiz." Pay for a real graphic designer if you want a really impressive logo.
To reach out to your audience, create a series of podcasts about a specific topic. Once you have built up an audience that listens to your podcasts regularly, start mentioning your products. Make it sound as if you are giving your audience advice about products related to the topic of your podcasts.
Post your opinions on current events and discuss how these events affect your readers. When something major happens in the world, it becomes a hot topic that many people search for. If you are one of the first websites to write about a recent issue, then you are a valuable resource to readers who desire immediate updates. Search engines crawling for information will also add your relevant articles to their index for that keyword.
Find your readers on other websites and lead them to yours. Accomplish this by making guests postings on other people's blogs, leaving comments on relevant sites using your web address as your name, and providing articles to other sites, as long as you get a byline and can add a link.
A fast customer service department can have a huge positive impact on an internet marketing strategy. Online business moves quickly and online customers are quick to grow dissatisfied. By addressing their concerns as rapidly as possible, successful business websites maintain a positive online reputation that can preserve and even expand their customer base.
Try to refrain from including music on your site if you want to hold your reader's attention. When you are running a business, you will want to keep things as professional as possible. Music will shift your customer's focus, and may hurt your online sales over the course of the year.
While it is true that a lot of Internet marketers are able to advertise their sites and products without spending money at all, this is something that is incredibly rare. Blog businesses hosted on free sites that make 50k a year are pretty much dying off. You will need to invest some money, if only for a legitimate website and some keyword campaigns.
Marketing isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, obviously, but the good news is that you can market just like the experts once you learn the ropes. Use these tips to guide you along your path and you may just find that a successful business is much more obtainable than you once thought.

Seven things you must NEVER say to yourself if you want MAXIMUM business and personal success
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
You've heard it and said it since you were a kid: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." That's definitely true if you are the recipient of the words... but absolutely wrong if you are the sender. You see, language completely defines who you are, what you will do, and the level of success you can achieve. If "you are what you eat," it is also absolutely true "You are what you say."
That's why I've identified 7 key phrases that are holding you back, 7 phrases which you must IMMEDIATELY eradicate from your speech as they threaten your success!
1) "I'll do it tomorrow."
Want success? Then understand that "tomorrow" is the enemy of "today." How many people do you know who have a "manana" mentality, always willing to put off until tomorrow that which could so easily be done today.
People who succeed in life are people who do today what can be done today, never allowing themselves the luxury of postponement. These words, then, must be the first to expunge ... and never allow your brain to think. "Carpe diem" must forever be your guide.
2) "I'll make do."
Now hear this: successful people never "make do." Making do is for people who have convinced themselves that they will be happy with less. This, of course, is the direct opposite of what truly successful people think, say, and do.
To the successful, "making do" means imposing restrictions on who you are and what you could achieve if you made achievement, rather than its opposite, your objective. No great thing, no worthy thing, no meaningful or awesome thing has ever emerged when the person in charge said these words. So banish them at once from your vocabulary; if you keep them you will surely get the less you say satisfies and nothing more. Is that what you want?
3) "I'm a survivor."
Initially this may seem positive, but upon further thought you will come to see how invidious this phrase really is. No successful person is merely a survivor; such people do not merely continue to exist (which is what survival means). Instead, they ascend beyond mere existence to the superior state of flourishing.
Thus, instead of touting the mere ability to get by, give yourself a better objective by saying: "I am not merely a survivor. Instead I flourish." (Note: Floreat Etona is the motto of England's most prestigious and influential school, the school that has provided generations of leaders. Let the slogan work its magic for you, too.)
4) "I'm fixing to do it."
Take a close look at these words.
They do not say "I am doing it."
They say "I'm thinking about getting around to doing it."
Now, it should be obvious that truly successful people don't brag about how they are "about" to do something. No, indeed. These people, the people we want to be like and emulate, are people who are masters of "do". And you must be, too. Drop "fixin" from your vocabulary forthwith.
5) "Working on it."
Here's another deceptive phrase which makes non English speakers scratch their heads in bafflement. The phrase, you see, seems to mean one thing, but actually means quite another.
"Working on it" means the complete reverse. It does not mean that a thing is being attended to, completion in sight. It means, instead, that the thing in question is not being attended to, has not been started, and that no completion date can be seen because none has been set. Oh, my!
"Working on it" is a phrase beloved of procrastinators, the slothful and slow-walkers worldwide because it gives them cover for the work they are assuredly are not doing and the success they will not achieve because of it.
6) "It's good enough for me."
This potent phrase has destroyed success for millions worldwide, generation after generation. Success means constant application, work, a vivid striving after success and the thrill that comes from having achieved it.
By contrast, the minute you utter the word "enough" you have signaled an end to absolutely everything necessary to achieve success, including success itself.
"It's good enough" could hardly be worse for your aspirations, strangling success in its cradle and leaving you with crumbs. "There is nothing quite so bad," wrote the insightful Oscar Wilde, "as that which is good enough." This is why you must banish this corrosive phrase at once. Only the good can be good enough for you!
*7) "I could never do that."
Are you one of the legions of people who use these killer words? Be advised: success cannot flourish in this inhospitable terrain.
People who demand success empower themselves by creating an environment where the goal of success is never undercut by the words they use and the thoughts they think. For such people, the keynote is positive potential, not instantaneous death by your own hand.
You see, if you say you cannot do the thing in question, then most assuredly you will not achieve that thing. As Henry Ford, master of the practical, the richest man of his time, rightly said: "You think you can. You think you can't. Either way you're right."
Last Words
Success at the best of times is generally difficult to achieve. Why, then, make it even more difficult by sabotaging yourself, diminishing success by empowering failure? Your thoughts, your words are your realities. Negative words, restricting words, words that sabotage rather than improve and inspire must be rooted out and destroyed.
YOU must create for yourself an environment where the total focus, including every word you utter, facilitates achievement and does not handicap it. Start by eradicating these 7 invidious phrases, replacing them with those that enrich, improve... and never impede. At once, your trek to success becomes decidedly easier. Yes, you are on your way!
This astonishing phrase is dynamite, a sure-fire indicator that the person who thinks and utters it will have the most meager portion of success. In short, it undermines, sabotages and otherwise strangles the very possibility of success.
What stimulates success is the keen desire to be better, to have better, to live better.

Were You Furloughed Too? Really Makes You Think!!! Create a Furlough-Proof Future and Never Worry Again!!!
Like many Americans, I was told to take a few days off because of the government shut-down. Being a single working mom of two girls in sports, I definitely stopped to contemplate my future and I did not like that I could not control this. Never do I want to feel insecure again about whether I am going to have a job or not. I especially did not like the fact that my fate was in the hands of our politicians who do not seem to have a sense urgency to resolve this mess.
For those of you in a similar circumstance, it is time to invest in your own future and create your own success. How is exactly do you do that? Well, if you do a little research, you will find all kinds of "get rich quick" schemes online, but if you are looking for an opportunity to have a an online business you will need to work with a reputable company with a proven track record.
I also believe that you must diversify your income streams. After a ton of trial and error, there are two places that I have actually made money:
Worldprofit
Adhitprofits
If you are looking for a way to earn more money or change your future, Worldprofit and Adhitprofits are a great start.
If you have an honest money-making online opportunity, I would love to hear from you.
Wishing you well in your success,

A Shrewd Way To Get Targeted Online Traffic
If you are not able to bring the targeted online traffic to your website,
there is no meaning in having a website at all. Hence this should be your top
priority. You should view your website through the eyes of your potential
customers and then only you can get an unbiased opinion about it.
In addition to improving the quality of your website, there are several techniques by adopting which you can achieve a good targeted traffic to your website. Instead of getting a very high number of visitors to your site, you should aim to get a good targeted traffic. Then only you can convert the traffic into more sales.
Online blogging is one of the techniques that is adopted by many marketeers. This truly has a potential to get you traffic to your website. When you write blogs, you should remember that they must be relevant to the niche of the product you handle. You can post these blogs on your web page or on article directories or on social networking sites. There are several free blogging sites available on which you can post your blogs also.
But you will be able to sustain the interest of the targeted traffic in your articles only if your contents are interesting as well as informative. But if you beat around the bush or if your contents are dull, boring and without substance, gradually these fans will wither away. You can also make your blogs dynamic and participative allowing the readers to share their ideas on your blogs so that you may benefit immensely when you contemplate improving your products or services. This may be a good feed-back for your business also.
The secret of writing informative blogs lies in updating your personal knowledge in the niche you are handling. If you study deep into your niche, you may be surprised to gain knowledge of many unknown and fascinating things about the product you are handling. Research is taking place throughout the world on a continuous basis and several innovations are being made. By keeping abreast of all these things, you can make your blogs as interesting as possible. Such blogs and articles that are posted on directories will definitely lift your place in the search engine rankings so that more and more targeted traffic will visit your website.
Apart from writing such blogs, you should ensure that your website also has content of superior quality. You should keep on changing, modifying and improving the content periodically so that the visiting traffic will find it interesting and will be motivated to visit it repeatedly. This will pave way for repeat-sales from such targeted traffic. Even the search engines weigh the quality of the website content to decide the ranking of your website.
If the contents of your blogs and website evoke such a good interest in your targeted online traffic, you can be sure of achieving phenomenal success in your business.

Helpful Tips For Starting Out In Internet Marketing
Internet marketing refers to techniques of advertising and improving brand recognition through various techniques on the web. Many are as simple as the use of blogs or search engine optimization. This article can help you to understand these techniques and how they work. Then you can put them to work for your business.
Put graphics on your page that will give users an idea of what to expect from your products. You can include pictures of your product in the hands of smiling people. If it is a product that was made to sculpt the body or to improve the appearance of anything, you should have before and after pictures.
Give your website visitors an incentive to buy your product or service immediately. On-site marketing campaigns, such as free shipping for the first 100 orders or a free gift with every order placed before a certain date, can increase the number of visitors you turn into buyers. If your visitors have no incentive to purchase a product or service quickly, they will probably just bookmark your website and forget about it and you will have lost a sale.
If you want to be successful at Internet marketing, make sure your customers can contact you easily. Your website should have a Contact Us page. This needs to include an email address and a phone number. You may also want to add a snail mail address. In general, people would much rather contact you directly rather than fill out a contact form.
An important tip regarding Internet marketing is to devote a section of your site's home page either suggesting that visitors bookmark your site, or provide a button that will automatically add it to their browser. This is important in case you have a URL that is difficult to remember, and to increase your visitation return rate.
A great tip for internet marketing, is to collaborate with someone else. We can pursue many avenues online, but we can only do so much on our own. If you're a filmmaker, for instance, you can get in touch with a storyboard artist. That's just one example of a collaboration.
Giving something away for free is a great way to encourage visitors to sign up for your mailing list. Email marketing has high profit potential and one of your top priorities as an internet marketer, should be to build a list. An easy way to do this is by writing a report or ebook and then offering it for free to your visitors, in exchange for them signing up for your mailing list.
You may have thought up a clever or catchy phrase for your domain name or title tags. This may help, or it may be misleading. If it is clever but does not really express what your business site is about, it will only cause the prospective customer to be disappointed and not return.
Track and analyze your site to keep a finger on the pulse of success. Tracking will tell you all you need to know about who is visiting your site, where they come from and how long they stay. If your analytics indicate infrequent hits or very short visits you will know a change is in order. Analytics are an invaluable tool for your Internet success.
To boost your traffic and your authority and gain more visibility on the Internet, offer some products for free. Free products, as long as they're high quality, always generate talk, and they're great for building a positive reputation. Be smart about it, of course -- don't bankrupt yourself because you're giving everything away and not building in a way to make money.
It is always wise to include keywords in all HTML title tags. By doing this, search engines will be more apt to factor them into search result calculations, thus facilitating higher page rankings for your content. In keeping with this theory, it is also important to include effective keywords in tags, titles and descriptors relating to videos you place online.
As introduced in the beginning of this article, Internet marketing can be an extremely effective method of business marketing. The web opens up a world of possibilities for marketing worldwide. By following the advice in this article and implementing strategies, you can help your business to increase profits and visibility.
Put graphics on your page that will give users an idea of what to expect from your products. You can include pictures of your product in the hands of smiling people. If it is a product that was made to sculpt the body or to improve the appearance of anything, you should have before and after pictures.
Give your website visitors an incentive to buy your product or service immediately. On-site marketing campaigns, such as free shipping for the first 100 orders or a free gift with every order placed before a certain date, can increase the number of visitors you turn into buyers. If your visitors have no incentive to purchase a product or service quickly, they will probably just bookmark your website and forget about it and you will have lost a sale.
If you want to be successful at Internet marketing, make sure your customers can contact you easily. Your website should have a Contact Us page. This needs to include an email address and a phone number. You may also want to add a snail mail address. In general, people would much rather contact you directly rather than fill out a contact form.
An important tip regarding Internet marketing is to devote a section of your site's home page either suggesting that visitors bookmark your site, or provide a button that will automatically add it to their browser. This is important in case you have a URL that is difficult to remember, and to increase your visitation return rate.
A great tip for internet marketing, is to collaborate with someone else. We can pursue many avenues online, but we can only do so much on our own. If you're a filmmaker, for instance, you can get in touch with a storyboard artist. That's just one example of a collaboration.
Giving something away for free is a great way to encourage visitors to sign up for your mailing list. Email marketing has high profit potential and one of your top priorities as an internet marketer, should be to build a list. An easy way to do this is by writing a report or ebook and then offering it for free to your visitors, in exchange for them signing up for your mailing list.
You may have thought up a clever or catchy phrase for your domain name or title tags. This may help, or it may be misleading. If it is clever but does not really express what your business site is about, it will only cause the prospective customer to be disappointed and not return.
Track and analyze your site to keep a finger on the pulse of success. Tracking will tell you all you need to know about who is visiting your site, where they come from and how long they stay. If your analytics indicate infrequent hits or very short visits you will know a change is in order. Analytics are an invaluable tool for your Internet success.
To boost your traffic and your authority and gain more visibility on the Internet, offer some products for free. Free products, as long as they're high quality, always generate talk, and they're great for building a positive reputation. Be smart about it, of course -- don't bankrupt yourself because you're giving everything away and not building in a way to make money.
It is always wise to include keywords in all HTML title tags. By doing this, search engines will be more apt to factor them into search result calculations, thus facilitating higher page rankings for your content. In keeping with this theory, it is also important to include effective keywords in tags, titles and descriptors relating to videos you place online.
As introduced in the beginning of this article, Internet marketing can be an extremely effective method of business marketing. The web opens up a world of possibilities for marketing worldwide. By following the advice in this article and implementing strategies, you can help your business to increase profits and visibility.

Easy Ways To Promote Your Business Online
The internet is the future. If you have or will have a business, whether it be local or online, having a presence on the web is essential to survival. Marketing your website and business on the web is confusing and difficult for most average business owners. This article will give you some pointers on ways that you too can effectively promote your business online.
When designing a website to market a product or service online, include a "resources" section. Adding a resources section attracts potential clients to your site by increasing your search engine ranking. It also means that viewers of your site are more likely to return to view those resources, and might end up buying your product later.
A very good marketing tool is placing ads for your business on Craigslist. You have to be careful though because ads placed in separate cities that have the same info will not be accepted. Try saying the same thing, but wording it in a much different way that may be specific to each city you are targeting.
Keep track of the load speed on every single page on your website. If it takes longer than 10 seconds to load, you need to fix this immediately. You can find page load testers online. People will not wait wait long for a page to load, and this will put them in your competitors hands.
Make your internet marketing efforts distinctive and stand out from your competitors. The world of online marketing is not so big that someone out there is not selling a similar product using similar tactics to yours. Research these competitors carefully and see what you can do to differentiate your services from theirs. A potential customer presented with multiple similar pitches is going to select the one that stands out.
Keep banner ads to a minimum on your own website; instead, increase the usage of buttons. Buttons are significantly smaller and take up only a small amount of space and bandwidth. You can also incorporate text links into the site design; the links are easy for users to find and can be configured so that the link opens in a new window. This will also make the site load faster, which is very important to the average consumer.
Youtube is quickly becoming one of the fastest ways to provide ads to the public for your internet marketing. The user generated network allows for you to create your ad that is thrown onto a youtube video only if it has reached a certain demographic and level of popularity
To make sure your internet marketing works well with search engines, minimize your use of site-wide links. These kinds of links are low on the totem pole of search algorithm rankings and can move your links to the end of the line in relevance. This means you fall off the first search page and get less traffic.
If you are going to use other languages than English during Internet marketing, make sure you know what the word means. Just doing an online translation of an English word will produce poor results. Ask an expert, you may have to pay for services yet it will be worth it. Look at it this way: they speak a different form of Spanish in Spain and in Mexico. You want to target the right people with the right words.
As stated in the beginning, having an active presence for your business online is essential in today's business economy and market. Consumers want to find you in search results and check you out online before they visit your physical location. Now that you have a better understanding of what you can do, your business should see the benefits in no time.

Best Internet Marketing Tips To Improve Your Business
Internet marketing is not a field that will be going away,
any time soon. The benefits available to any company that courts business
online have been well-proven. Yet a successful internet marketing strategy is
not hard to put together; a business owner can gather plenty of helpful advice
on the subject without spending any money. Here are just a few internet
marketing tips that just might make a difference in your life.
One way to leverage internet marketing is to use blogging
techniques on your site. If your company has a blog, this provides a great way
to share news or information with your visitors in a friendly and approachable
way. If you have a personal blog, consider cross-linking it with your site and
referencing your site in your blog posts if appropriate. Visitors to your blog
may then visit your company site as well.
Online security is important to almost everyone on the
internet. Assure your customers that your website is secure, and the
transactions that are done on it are safe. Try to reassure your customers that
you care about their safety and that you will protect their information. Make
sure they know what you do to protect them and keep them safe.
Make sure to pay attention to your website's statistics and
analytics. Use established site analytics tools, such as IndexTool or Google
Analytics. You should pay a lot of attention to the number of total users and
visits, since they are a good estimate of how much traffic your site is
attracting. Try to go deeper and analyze the navigation patterns, entry/exit
rates and pages, and the new /returning visitors ratio etc.
Make use of using the word "fast" for your
products on your site and in your ads. People love to know that they can get
something fast without hassle. This can include items such as fast check-out,
fast shipping, or even that you have a fast product that is for sale.
If you plan on changing something drastic in your website,
warn your current subscribers. There is never anything as frustrating for a
consumer as visiting a favorite page just to have to relearn how to navigate
it. Plan ahead for changes, and allow your readers to do so as well.
Create your URLs, directory paths and file names with
keywords to improve you SEO. Search engines place more weight on URLs with
keywords in them. Likewise, if a keyword-rich URL is not possible, use keywords
to name your directory paths and file names. If your keyword is long, use
hyphens between the words, not underscores. Your rankings in searches for those
keywords will improve.
Find ways to improve your marketing strategies by using
software that analyzes the statistics of your website. Choose an analytics
program that tracks details such as how customers navigate your website, how
many new and return customers are visiting your pages, and which product
categories are most often viewed. Programs such as Yahoo! Web Analytics can
even provide you with real-time data so you can quickly gauge the effectiveness
of sales, promotions and new products.
Avoid being pushy about your products or services. Being
pushy is definitely a way to make customers avoid your business all together.
You should explain your products or services on your website in a way that
draws your potential customers in without pushing them away. Avoid saying
things like "buy this now!"
The most important aspect of your site is your content. You
need excellent content or readers won't come to your site. Spend the most
amount of effort on providing great, relevant, and helpful content and worry
about the affiliate ads afterwards. Don't compromise your readers with articles
that promote ads. Traffic naturally follows such a site and word will spread,
generating more money in the future.
Think about what sets you apart from the other marketers in
your area. This is considered your unique selling proposition. If there are
other marketers doing the same thing that you are doing, think about how you
could improve that thing that you do and make it better than the other
marketers have.
It can seem like every business needs an internet marketing
strategy. This is good for increased exposure and a wider potential customer
base. Ideas like the ones that have been shared in this article, can help any
business, leverage its internet marketing efforts and share in the vast
potential profits available online.

Use These Tips For A Dynamic Internet Marketing Campaign
If you knew a secret that would make your Internet business an overnight success, would you share it? One of the real secrets of successful Internet marketing is sharing your knowledge with others. This establishes you as an expert in your field, and contrary to belief, does not take away from your sales.
To effectively market anything on the Internet, show your potential customers exactly what value your product offers them. Don't assume that your product's value is obvious or self-explanatory. People don't usually have any reason to put a lot of thought or effort into making themselves interested in your product -- it's your job to show them why they should be interested. Be specific and believable and present the benefits of your product to people right up front to catch their attention.
Write and send a professional, original press release about your website to journalists that work for online magazines or newspapers. If you send a journalist an interesting press release, you increase the chances of it being published. Once a press release is published, you should get a lot of new, potential customers visiting your website.
Internet marketing does not start with just a nice-looking website. Too many people set up a new site, then wonder why they get no traffic. Internet marketing starts with your identification of your target niche, and exactly what product you are selling to them. Focus on making the meat of your site explain how your product solves your visitors' problems and provides them with many benefits.
When advertising a product, don't be shy about mentioning its flaws. If you try and make your product seem perfect and people buy it and find major flaws, they won't be too happy with you. But if you admit things your product isn't great for up front, they're more likely to appreciate your honesty.
Provide a free download, free quote, or other free product. A free download or free quote builds credibility for your business by showing the customer that your business is knowledgeable in the field. The customer will feel like they got something for free, and that feeling will build goodwill towards your business.
Out there in the real world, networking with other businesses is how start-ups increase their profile and customer base. Use these same principles with Internet marketing. You need to network effectively in order to increase your overall profile. An increase in profile equals an increase in profits, so network frequently.
One way to help get traffic to your site is to create a mirror site or sites that are similar to your niche. Use these niche sites to brand your product and send traffic to your primary site. Make sure the quality is good on these niche sites so you can get that good targeted traffic.
As you can see, a little effort can go a long way when it comes to Internet marketing tactics. One of the keys is consistency; keep up your efforts on a consistent schedule over time and you are sure to see results improve and continue to ramp up over the long run.

Solid Tips For Becoming A Better Email Marketer
If you want to learn what it takes to become successful with a subject like email marketing, then the tips from this article are going to help you a lot. You want to read through this article with care and see what tips from it, you can use to help to market your site or sites.
Your email marketing efforts will give you the best results when you coordinate them with the rest of your marketing campaign. Do not work against yourself by unnecessarily duplicating your efforts in several different marketing channels. Make sure that your use of email, social media, and traditional venues are all designed to work well together.
Create an unsubscribe link that works immediately. If a customer unsubscribes from your list, that should be the last mailing they receive from you. In today's computerized world, there's no excuse for unscriptions not to be immediate. Customers who continue to receive mailings after they unsubscribe are likely to treat those emails as spam, and respond accordingly.
Use your readers to get content for your emails. When your readers ask you question, it makes great fodder for a future email. Answering reader questions in newsletters in this fashion also makes your customers feel more important, because you dedicate part of your newsletter just to them. You can use a traditional Q & A format, or simply state that a user asked you that question and give the answer.
If you use images in your email newsletters, put text to the right of the images. Research shows that customers are far more likely to click on a link or button that is placed to the left of an image than one that is placed anywhere else on the page.
Everyone knows that email filters are getting more and more strict. Graphics and other things included in emails are blocked out, so a reader might not even see what you are trying to say. Therefore, a good piece of advice is to use plain text with a hyperlink to your site.
To get a better response with your email marketing efforts, you want to create emails that look professional. An email that is not professionally done will come across as spam. If your messages are viewed as spam, that is the quickest way to lose potential customers from your subscriber list.
Personalize the Campaign, your emails should address their recipient by name. Software can personalize each email so that it is addressed individually to the recipient. Emails are much more likely to be opened and read when you use the actual name of the recipient rather than "Dear Valued Customer." So take the time to use your customer's name, so they don't just feel as though your letter is simply spam.
You should now start to feel more confident when it comes to seeing success with your site or sites. You want to be sure that you apply all the knowledge you gained today with confidence because when you do that you have fun and just become successful with ease as you progress.

Marketing Online Success
In order to achieve the highest level of marketing online success, you need a few basics. These "tools" will make it possible for you to make money and build a real business online. It isn't a high cost, but it will take some time to find all the tools you need and to learn the skills.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Get an education. It doesn't have to be at your local college, there are many training resources available right online for minimal cost. Also, since these online courses can be accessed any time of the day or night, it is easier for working adults to find the time to complete them. You don't have to accommodate someone else's schedule.
Many of these courses can be completed in just a few weeks, and you may be able to actually start making some money while you are going through the course.
Whatever options you choose just make sure you get educated on how the various parts of marketing online fit together.
2. Check your delusion at the door. Hype seems to be rampant online and if you really want to have any success, you must get, and keep, your expectations in line. If you believe the hype, you will waste a lot of time and money chasing some new "sure thing" after another.
To be honest, that is exactly what I did. I was so convinced that my success would happen virtually overnight that when it didn't I thought I was just doing the wrong thing. It never occurred to me, in the early days at least, that it wasn't what I was doing that was the problem it was my unrealistic expectations that was causing me so much trouble.
Once I accepted that building a business online would require time and attention from me and I started investing those things in my business I started having success.
3. Be consistent in your time. Even if you can only put a few hours a week to working on your business, you can make it work just as long as you invest that few hours a week every single week.
Of course, the more time you can put into building your business the sooner you may be able to start earning consistent money, but even with small amounts of time you can still build a business as long as you do it on a consistent basis.
Marketing online success hinges on these things. Follow them and you will greatly increase your odds of success.

E A S Y Ways To Promote Your Business Online
The internet is the future. If you have or will have a business, whether it be local or online, having a presence on the web is essential to survival. Marketing your website and business on the web is confusing and difficult for most average business owners. This article will give you some pointers on ways that you too can effectively promote your business online.
When designing a website to market a product or service online, include a "resources" section. Adding a resources section attracts potential clients to your site by increasing your search engine ranking. It also means that viewers of your site are more likely to return to view those resources, and might end up buying your product later.
A very good marketing tool is placing ads for your business on Craigslist. You have to be careful though because ads placed in separate cities that have the same info will not be accepted. Try saying the same thing, but wording it in a much different way that may be specific to each city you are targeting.
Keep track of the load speed on every single page on your website. If it takes longer than 10 seconds to load, you need to fix this immediately. You can find page load testers online. People will not wait wait long for a page to load, and this will put them in your competitors hands.
Make your internet marketing efforts distinctive and stand out from your competitors. The world of online marketing is not so big that someone out there is not selling a similar product using similar tactics to yours. Research these competitors carefully and see what you can do to differentiate your services from theirs. A potential customer presented with multiple similar pitches is going to select the one that stands out.
Keep banner ads to a minimum on your own website; instead, increase the usage of buttons. Buttons are significantly smaller and take up only a small amount of space and bandwidth. You can also incorporate text links into the site design; the links are easy for users to find and can be configured so that the link opens in a new window. This will also make the site load faster, which is very important to the average consumer.
Youtube is quickly becoming one of the fastest ways to provide ads to the public for your internet marketing. The user generated network allows for you to create your ad that is thrown onto a youtube video only if it has reached a certain demographic and level of popularity
To make sure your internet marketing works well with search engines, minimize your use of site-wide links. These kinds of links are low on the totem pole of search algorithm rankings and can move your links to the end of the line in relevance. This means you fall off the first search page and get less traffic.
If you are going to use other languages than English during Internet marketing, make sure you know what the word means. Just doing an online translation of an English word will produce poor results. Ask an expert, you may have to pay for services yet it will be worth it. Look at it this way: they speak a different form of Spanish in Spain and in Mexico. You want to target the right people with the right words.
As stated in the beginning, having an active presence for your business online is essential in today's business economy and market. Consumers want to find you in search results and check you out online before they visit your physical location. Now that you have a better understanding of what you can do, your business should see the benefits in no time.

Welcome...my very first post
Hi!
My name is Natalie Braverman. About a year ago, I became suddenly single after 21 years of marriage. Never thinking I would be in this position (You just think after 21 years, your marriage is good to go, right?), I was out on my own and feeling nervous about having all the financial responsibility. I had/have a great job and make decent money however while I was able to pay my bills, there was just not enough for anything else. I wanted to take my girls on vacation or just hand them some money to go to the movies, but I just did not have it. Even my food budget was tight.
I work full-time, but was looking for a way to earn extra income. I sat down with my wise old father and discussed this issue with him. His suggestion was to try to find a way to use my Web Developer skills (daytime job) to supplement my income. I gave this some serious thought and realized that God gave me this brain for a reason.
I knew how to build websites, but did not really have the clients for this except for the occasional friend that would ask me for help creating a website for free. I did a ton of research. There seemed to be a plethora of online business opportunities out there. In fact, it was extremely overwhelming once I started looking at the different options. I bought several "Make Money Online" programs, but I did not make any money until I went to this great site called Warrior Forum which had product reviews of everything. I found this truly helpful. I do not make one penny promoting this site. It is just a great place to start to research products that you might be considering. I felt like I hit the lottery when I FINALLY made some actual money.
I am not a one-trick pony so I decided to try several things at the same time. Here are the places I actually made money:
http://onlinewealth101.com
This leads to a site called World Profit. This site will show you anything and everything you ever needed to know about making money online. This takes time to build, but there is no “truly” get rich quick thing that I have come across. Once you get going and put some work into it, you WILL see results…BIG RESULTS.
http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com
This is an absolutely AMAZING site. It has a step-by-step program to show you how to have online success. Wealthy Affiliate is the #1 ranked affiliate community in the world! According to WA, there are over two billion people on the internet and WA will teach you how to connect with them.
http://instantpaydaynetwork.com This is probably one of the fastest ways to earn quick pocket money. You sign-up and try corporate offers then you share the link with other people. Once they sign-up and try the corporate offers, you make money. I just started this one and I am making about $100 a day. There are resources to show you how to promote the site. This is extremely EASY.
https://adhitprofits.com
This is a revenue sharing advertising site. You can setup an advertising campaign to promote your site. Here is the cool thing about this site, you make money while promoting your site. If the site brings in revenue from advertising then it is shared with all of its members. Well that is it for now. I will be posting articles on Internet Marketing on a regular basis. I just wanted to share my experience and what actually worked for me.
If you are just starting out, take a deep breath and realize that you need to sort out the true opportunities from the shams. The above information is a great starting place.
I wish you all great success!
