  2. The Internet is a new tool in which making money

    is a very real thing. People have been told that the Internet is a place where they can make money without working to hard and without spending much money. Your will need your own PC, a telephone line and Internet access account from your local Internet Service Provider. One prevailing Internet myth--now soundly debunked has been that once people discover your website, the money rolls in. One thing you can count on is that you won't become a millionaire overnight, unless you have an idea for the next super site like eBay or Google that takes cyber space by storm. Links are the way to do this, and the theory is not complicated; the more links that you have to your site with keywords relating to your site, the better your ranking. So, rather than competing with companies that have been around for many years and may have greater advertising and financial resources than you have, you will want to dig a little deeper and find a niche that you can focus on while building your business. There are tons of ways to make money online; home business opportunities, telecommute positions, becoming a webmaster, promoting affiliate programs, taking surveys for cash, playing poker and the list goes on. If you can create a product, an e-book, software, any other digital products, you can create a website, write a good sales copy and market it. Market the products and keep trying until the sales are directly dependent on the free search engine rankings. The internet is loaded with get rich quick schemes and marketing tactics that lead you to believe that you can make thousands per month for doing nothing don't believe them. If you search the internet you will find many gurus that say they have made $20,000 in 3 weeks, use my method. You buy their e-book for $30, 40 or $50 and there is no real method on how they actually did it. They give a couple of good suggestion but nothing real. Find the sites or forums that show you the correct way of marketing a site, look for e-books that cost $4-$7 this way you are spending a minimal amount of money. There are mentors and coaches that specialize in building websites and the marketing training to teach you what to do to get traffic to your site. There are many different work at home online which are scams so when searching be careful when choosing the program. Make your own dream job, use your mind and think up a new business.

  4. There are a number of legal ways to make money

    online. Some are short term with limited gains and other are long term with big payoffs. If you are good at writing, you can make money writing a blog. A number of sites provide free blogs and will pay you, depending on the number of people viewing your blog. The best bit is you do not need a dime to start and you don't need any web design skills. The beauty of blogging is that there is no set topic and you can write about whatever is closest to your heart or what ever you have a good grasp of. Some people find blogging very therapeutic and some sites allow you to add Google Adwords, so you would be able to earn more money from people clicking on them. Submitting articles for money is another legal way of making money online. There are a number of sites where you can submit your articles and they will happily pay you for them. A number of auction sites are available. Take eBay, for example, you can make money by selling your unwanted stuff and using the money to buy some more stuff that you can sell off at a profit. Answering surveys online is a great way of making money online. You can answer questionnaires for market research companies and they pay you for it. Although answering surveys is an easy and interesting way to make money online, one should make sure that the company is reputable since there are a number of rogue companies that will have you answer surveys and not pay you. Working for others online is a great legal way of earning money. The number of people telecommuting has increased and companies find it more acceptable to employ telecommuting employees. A number of forum owners need people to post and make conversation to keep the forums busy to make them attractive to more visitors, so you could get paid to chat and facilitate conversation. You could be employed as a moderator, making sure all posts are under the right topics as well as removing any obscene posts. Being a virtual assistant is another legal way of making money. A number of companies get a lot of emails so you could be involved in selecting which mail goes to who as well as answering some simple questions. You will be the first line of support for a company. You could be answering live help and dealing with simple problems and referring more complex ones to someone else for closer scrutiny.

  5. Researching could be a legal way of making money online.

    A number of companies employ people to compile certain chunks of information for them. Certain busy people could employ you to find certain things for them. A busy executive might want to know where to get a certain dress for her daughters play, you would look for which site has them and pass on such information. This saves them time and they, in turn, pay you for the service. Page 4
  6. Making a Fortune on the Net with Affiliate Programs The

    World Wide Web could be considered a synonym for opportunity. Millions of Internet entrepreneurs are finding new ways to make money online, as the opportunities for building home based businesses online are growing everyday. Existing businesses are using the Internet as a vehicle for marketing their products and services online while at the same time brand new businesses are getting started with only a home computer and a determination to succeed. The general landscape of commerce has changed forever. One of the most exciting developments of Internet marketing that is making many entrepreneurs rich is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing could be the future of marketing and replacement for much of traditional paid advertising because affiliate marketing only cost the advertiser when the advertising is effective. In any affiliate program there is a host web site and affiliates. Affiliates advertise for the host web site using banners, text links, and e-mails with embedded text links and when a web search surfer clicks through from an affiliate link to the host site and makes a purchase the affiliate is paid either a set fee or a commission based on the affiliate agreement. According to John Crestani of "How To Earn A Six-Figure Side-Income Online" Affiliate marketing has proven to be so profitable that some people are making a fortune on the net solely through affiliate programs." These affiliates are basically advertising agents earning profits by selling other people's products and services. This means that the affiliate can concentrate on the primary object of generating targeted traffic and promoting affiliate products. Making a Fortune on the Net with Affiliate Making a Fortune on the Net with Affiliate Programs Programs Page 5
  7. The potential for making money in affiliate programs is virtually

    unlimited but affiliates need to choose the right programs to maximize the chances of success. One of the most important aspects of choosing affiliate programs to promote is to choose products and services that would be of interest to the affiliate's current traffic base. For example, a webmaster operating a web design firm is going to be most successful promoting affiliate programs for products that would interest those who are building new web sites. Potential products and services to promote might include search engine optimization services, blog template design and implementation services, Internet marketing, web content and merchant account services. There is a much greater chance of making sales when the affiliate links are relevant to the market of the affiliate web site. A web designer is not going to have much success promoting affiliate links for vitamins or other unrelated products. It is all about targeting qualified prospects. There is no doubt that affiliate marketing will continue to grow in the future creating even greater opportunities for entrepreneurs all over the Internet. Page 6
  8. A keyword is a word or concept with special significance

    which describes a concept used to organize webpages and objects on the Internet. In today's world, more and more people use the Internet as a tool to get or sell specific product, service or information. Compared to previous model- directory search, keywords search has specific advantage, convenient, fast and also exact. The trend is that most of those users use keywords to search. The search engine giant Google holds the half market of keywords search. Meanwhile, PPC (pay per click) campaign has hit the web like a storm. Pay per click campaign attracts much more interest from both advertisers and webmasters. Keywords or key phrases are terms that a possible client would use to find your product or service. It is important to have a large number of top paying targeted keywords - but it is equally important that these top paying targeted keywords be specific relevant to your website. Keywords research is a continuous never-ending process that can help increase traffic and attract targeted visitors. This is the most important for you to make money online. Top paying targeted keywords are the best keywords among searches. They have targeted function and high ROI. You should remember that top paying keywords will change. To make money with targeted keywords, you need to know much more top paying targeted keywords. For advertisers, it is very important to control budget and get a high ROI. Some top paying keywords have a low bid price but the function of target is same to other high paying keywords. It is better to replace these high paying keywords. A common mistake is to target the wrong keywords or worse, even no particular keywords at all. When you optimize your website, you are optimizing your targeted keywords. It means you create a list of specific words and phrases which you know users will search for. To make money online with targeted keywords, you should often ask yourself these questions: 1. First of all, will people actually search for the things you have at your website? 2. Second, which keywords will they use to search for? 3. Third but not the last, how competitive are your targeted keywords? M ake M oney Online Wit h Target ed Keywords M ake M oney Online Wit h Target ed Keywords Page 7
  9. Be realistic about targeting highly competitive keywords - you may

    be better off targeting less popular ones. The more popular, the more cost. So it is not always right to focus on popular keywords. It is important to focus on targeted keywords which will bring sales to you. For webmasters, your content is always the king but if you can design your website based on top paying keywords, then the targeted Ads have the high value, your website will make more money with these high paying targeted keywords. Top paying keywords will increase your Google AdSense's revenue. With the top paying targeted keywords for maximizing GoogleAdsense, you can exactly target your site's content with the top paying or high paying keywords. It means you use top paying keywords to express your meaning on your website to attract high paying AdWords Ads. However, keywords are the same important to users. Whenever users want to search something, the first thing is entering keywords which are relevant to search item. The more the keywords relevant, the easier the item found. Top paying targeted keywords are the backbone to every successful pay per click campaign. The opportunities of PPC are endless, but you need the right tools to be successful. Keywords success doesn't just happen, it's created. Top paying targeted keywords is the key for your success. Page 8
  10. Internet experts all agree, for real Internet success and to

    make serious money online, you need to create your own product. But what if you are a newbie? You are not an Internet expert yet. So what have you got to say? You don't have to write about the Net. There are already loads of books about all aspects of Internet marketing, and more are coming online every day. You probably will not want to compete in this area. Write about something you are passionate about. When I was on a postgraduate creative writing course, one of my fellow students told me she wanted to be told what to write about. I thought that was weird. Don't you know what you care about? Write about your passion, your hobby. Your readers will pick up on your enthusiasm. You could also write about something you hate. Maybe you can't stand to do the dishes. Or you hate paying bills at the end of every month (who doesn't?). You can attract many readers who share your pet hates and you can share with them your strategies for getting around these chores. Or maybe you just want to get away from it all. Produce an eBook about your recent vacation, complete with photographs. There will probably be loads of other people who are considering vacationing there, or who are looking for a new holiday destination. If you don't think you have useful or valuable things to say, you can always interview other people whom you admire and who you think are contributing to people's lives. Like Isaac Dweben, an accountant who did not come from a medical or scientific background. But when his brother died of cancer, he realised there was a need that was not being met. People of African heritage needed somewhere to go where they could get help, advice and support about cancer, both for themselves and for their family members. So even though he had a full-time job, he took time out to set up Cancer Black Care. I was honoured to be able to interview him for my book Black Success Stories Volume 1. One of the great things about conducting interviews is that I get to meet people who are contributing to our community, making a real difference in people's lives. The Best Content For Your Ebook The Best Content For Your Ebook Page 9
  11. Another great thing about interviewing people is that I have

    learned so much. For example, when I interviewed coach and speaker Shola Arewa, she told me her method for helping people to find the money to attend her courses and trainings. People would approach her and ask her for a discount and, at first, she would give discounts. But once she realised that her business was suffering because she was losing income, she found a different strategy which helped everyone to win. You can get cheap or free software to produce your eBook. Pixel Studio Fx lets you produce 5,326 professional e-covers, for a one-time payment. Be sure to include links to your products in the eBook to help you bring targeted traffic to your site. Your readers already have an interest in your products so this is an effective way of attracting customers within a niche market. If you are an affiliate marketer, you can also include links to your affiliate programs. It's important that you include fresh, original content from your own personal experience. This is what will keep your readers' interest and make them want to come back for more. If you have used affiliate marketing strategies that work, write about that. If your strategies have produced results that you were not happy about, you can write about that too. What mistakes have you made, and what have you learned from them? What would you do differently next time? Your readers may learn the most from your descriptions of what has not gone exactly to plan. Once you have completed your eBook, you will need to advertise it. There are many eBook directories where you can list your products. You will need to decide whether you want to sell your eBook or give it away for free. Free eBooks are brilliant for viral marketing because website owners can give away your eBooks from their sites or send them to their list. So ultimately, millions of people all over the world may read your eBook and click on your links. If you attract advertisers for your product, you can give it away for free and still make money. For example, if you wrote about your vacation, you may be able to get a travel company to advertise in or sponsor your eBook. Publishing eBooks is an easy and effective way to bring target traffic to your website and increase your sales. Page 10
  12. Its no secret that Google gets most of the traffic

    on the internet,followed closely by Yahoo and MSN back in third place.So if we're going to beat the next guy at getting some free search engine traffic what is required and where would you start? Well first of all you have to realise that you aren't likely to rank at the top of most keywords overnight,infact it can take months of hard work to rank for high traffic keywords so the key here is to start with keywords you can target that don't have a lot of competition.This makes your job 50% easier before you even load a page to the internet. Next lets look at the specific engines,google takes the longest to rank for out of the top 3 so I like to look closely at MSN search because my experience tells me that even though they dont get anywhere the same amount of traffic I can rank higher and faster here.So my first port of call is to do keyword research specifically with MSN in mind.I use a few tools here but by far the easiest way to do this is to use the free keyword reseach tool at digitalpoint.com .Here you can check keyword patterns and traffic patterns for your desired keywords to see how many searches are performed in the major engines,and also to find spin off keywords you probably would'nt have considered before.You can also check both Overture and Wordtrackers results against each other here to get a feel for how the traffic patterns are going to be for a top rank with your selected keyword. A rule of thumb I use for MSN is that the traffic for any keyword I search in digital points tool is divided by approx 3-4 to give me an idea of the traffic in MSN.So if my desired keyword had 1000 searches per day according to both Wordtracker and Overture then I can confidently say a number 1 rank in MSN should provide about 300 searches.This doesnt mesn you will get 300 hits ,in fact you may only get about half the searchers hit your site through MSN or any search engines for that matter even if you rank # 1. So now I can confidently say a top rank for that keyword will provide approx 150 hits or visitors per day.So now we have chosen a keyword that looks good whats next?

  13. Check out the competition on MSN.Theres no point choosing words

    that you realistically will never rank for .The competition pays big money to be at the top so unless you have the same budget stay away from that game.Those so called gurus of the internet will squash you .My reccommendation is to rank for terms that have less traffic and thats easier to get to #1,especially in MSN. So what am I looking for when it it comes to my competition ? well we all know that relevant ,theme related inbound, 1 way links from authority sites are the easiest way to rank # 1 or top 10. In fact it doesnt take too many high quality inbound links to rank for thousands upon thousands of terms.So here is where the fun begins,After you have uploaded your site and optimised the page with all the relevant html tags etc then gathering links to your page is the single most important task you can undertake to rank.I am not an authority on link gathering but here are a few suggestions. Write high quality articles about your chosen subject or pay someone to write articles ,then submit them to the free article directories,here your article will be picked up by other webmasters and placed on their site with your link on them,This can create many many 1 way links very quickly for your page. Approach other webmasters in your chosen topic and request link exchange(I personally dont do this as its boring and outdated and honestly is very time consuming) Use social bookmark sites like del.ici.us to get your content out there and also to get you links from your tags.The search engines love social bookmark sites,I use about 25 of them and they always provide high quality 1 way links,and often with very high PR. Write a blog about your site and link to it then feed that blog using rss or other syndication methods.this can also provide 1 way links and better results in the search engines. Buy links. Yes buy them , a few high quality , related links with good Google Page Rank will help massively. These few ideas I use every day and many more to get traffic and beat the next guy in the engines, especially MSN. Page 12
  14. So there you have it a few small ideas to

    get you moving so go forth and "make money". So the only thing left to do after you have achieved a top rank for a number of keyword terms is to make money from them and here are my top two ideas for making money that I use everyday. 1) Google adsense, Sign up free and place the ad code on your page and you will earn a share of each and every click visitors make from those ad blocks. There are dozens of other places you can earn on a "pay per click " basis but Google stands out head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. 2) Affiliate marketing, If your site or page is about losing weight, then sign up free as an affiliate to any one of hundreds of sites that sell these type of products .Then place a link on your page which has your personal code embedded into it and if a visitor clicks on your link and decides to buy then you will recieve a share of that sale.Sometimes as high 70% of that sale. So there you have it,now go out there and make some money online, because if you dont I will do it for you. Page 13
  15. Are you one of those people who have always dreamed

    of being able to make money online and work at home? If so, you are not alone. You are also not alone in your attempts and even your frustration to find a legitimate way that money can be made. There are websites, as well as emails and advertisements, all over the internet that promise to make you a millionaire in record time. If you have tried many of them, you realize that they don't work out, or you wouldn't be reading this! If you are tired of hopping from scam to scheme without making any money, you are probably wary of any business that claims it is the real thing. This is natural, and better than falling for another testimonial or grandiose business plan. Taking caution is a good idea, but every once in awhile you have to take a chance and hope that things will work out. Starting a new business is all about taking chances, so you have to learn to temper your fears with some hope that you can realize your dream of staying home to work. Always keep your eyes open for new opportunities, you never know when something legitimate will pass by you. Some of the things you may want to look for when looking for a new business are inflated promises, such as those promises that you will become a millionaire in short order. You have to ask yourself how anyone can promise you that before they know you, your personality, or your past and present experience. Unless the income they promise is based on the services or products they sell and a proven method for selling them, you'll generally want to stay away from businesses that can promise you income, and always stay away from those that promise unreasonable incomes. You may also want to stand clear of multi-level marketing businesses. Many people will tell you that you cannot make any money with these businesses, but that is not true. The problem is that you will have to work very hard for a little bit of money while you are putting a lot of money into the pockets of other people. MLM's can earn you money, but you should be aware that they often do not last very long and, unless you get in on the ground level, you may work much harder than you need to for the money you will earn.

  17. Affiliate Marketing is one of the best ways to make

    money from home and affiliate programs provide anyone with internet access a chance to make a living on the internet. Affiliate programs are usually free or very cheap to join, easy to get started and typically pay commissions on a regular basis, so more and more people are turning to them as a means to start a home based business. However, there are a few mistakes affiliate marketers tend to make that hurts their business tremendously. Avoiding some of these common mistakes made by affiliate marketers should quickly and easily improve your chances of making sales and increase your affiliate commissions. Here are five of the top mistakes made by affiliate marketers: 1) Not researching the affiliate program before your start promoting it It really is amazing just how many affiliates grab the first affiliate program that comes there way or signup simply because it has a high commission rate or promote it just because every other marketer is promoting it. If the program does not compliment the overall theme of your site, you will find it difficult to convince your visitors and subscribers to purchase the product. Why would they want it if it does not have anything to do with the area you are targeting? 2) Not using your signature file correctly Many affiliates add a signature file to all of their out-going email messages and forum posts but they do not do it correctly. Twenty lines of text full of affiliate links to a bunch of different products is not considered a good signature file! In fact, it can very easily be considered spam. Try keeping your signature file under five lines with an attention grabbing or intriguing first line and overdo it on the links. 3) Not writing your own ad copy There's nothing worse than seeing the exact same advertisement all over the internet or in email messages from ten different marketers. How much perceived value will your message have when it arrives and the reader is seeing it for the tenth time? Take the time to tweak the ad to suit your target audience and subscribers before sending it out. Personalize it to make the ad your own so it doesn't even seem like an advertisement anymore. 5 Affiliat e M ist akes t o Avoid t hat will Increase Your Sales 5 Affiliat e M ist akes t o Avoid t hat will Increase Your Sales Page 16
  18. 4) Not paying for your own domain name and hosting

    account Even novice internet users can tell a free hosted site when they see one. It's very unprofessional and suggests to your visitors that you haven't made any money online and probably don't know what you're doing. If you haven't even taken the small step towards setting up your business properly then how can your visitors trust you? Less than $10 a year for a domain name at GoDaddy.com and maybe $5 per month for a small hosting account won't break your bank account. In fact, it will probably help to add to your account in the long run. 5) Not capturing your leads before you send them on to the affiliate product site If you spend your time and money marketing to get someone to click on one of your affiliate links then they leave the product site without purchasing, what have you gained? Nothing! You have just lost the time and money it took to get that one click-through in the first place. Set up a squeeze page so you can capture your lead's email address before you send them on to the product site. That way if they don't buy you can follow up with them later and try again (and again and again and again). This can be priceless! Now that you know these five affiliate mistakes to avoid you should be able to make more sales and increase your affiliate commissions by a significant amount. So get out there and become the super affiliate marketer you always knew you could be! Page 17
  19. Maybe you've had your own "Aha" moment with Google Adsense.

    I had mine earlier this year when I realized I could make more than just pocket change by featuring those now familiar ad blocks on my websites. I had worked hard building my content oriented niche sites and had expected to make decent affiliate income-which never materialized. You see, most people online (including you and me), are looking for information. I call them "lookey-loos." They want to gather information before making a purchasing decision. This is normal behavior. However, if you are looking to earn or make online money via a web site affiliate program, you'll quickly realize that it takes a lot more than slapping banner ads and links on your site. Although, I've made a modest amount of affiliate income, it didn't seem enough to make it worth my while, in spite of what the affiliate marketing ebook gurus said. That's the point where I decided to put Adsense on my sites. Got nothing to lose, right? At first I was like "Cool. A few pennies a day in the piggy bank." I didn't have to do anything extra for it, so it was kind of an easy way to make some "spare change." I didn't care how much I made each day. Anything was better than looking at a big fat zero. Then something changed. The money accumulating in my Adsense account began to grow. Hmmm. Maybe there's something more to this Google Adsense thing than I realized. Adsense seemed like a pretty decent opportunity to make money online. This is when I got serious about the potential to make money with Google Adsense. I know I'm just one of thousands of website publishers that has recently discovered that this is one of several ways to make extra money. So here many of us sit, anxiously checking our stats to see how much money we've made today. What is our CTR (click through rate)? How much are we getting paid per click? And so forth. While we all hear the tales about those making thousands per day or month with Adsense, most of us web publishers, here in the trenches, are not blessed with having a gazillion visitors that produce big fat checks. We are trying to steadily grow our modest Adsense income fairly and honestly. But what is the secret to doing that?

  20. **WARNING: If you're interested in information on how to make

    lots of money quick and easy using black hat techniques or using SPAM website generators, you can stop reading now** I believe that slow and steady wins the race-and, you'll get to keep your Adsense account for the long run. Let me give you some perspective. Google is worth $120 billion. Google stock is now valued at over $400 per share. A good portion of their profit comes from pay-per-click advertising (Adwords). Yet, online advertising is still a relatively small percentage of total (U.S.) advertising dollars spent. However, things are rapidly changing. Online advertising will see steady growth for many years to come. The potential windfall for online web publishers is enormous. A web publisher making $30 a month today, could be making $300-$500 per day in a few short years. Those who go for the quick, unethical profits now, but lose their Adsense accounts because of it, may be kicking themselves in the future. To me, it's just not worth it. Anyway, for those of you who think that you'll never make it to that coveted $100 per month mark so that you can join the Google monthly check club, take heart. There's still plenty of time for you to get there. However, you must get serious. You won't make the big money if you're treating your websites like a hobby. Ok. So, here's some quick tips on what you can do to grow your Adsense profits (I'm currently making over $300 per month with Adsense by following this very strategy): => BUILD QUALITY CONTENT SITES Content is King. You will not see good CTR without quality content. Put yourself in the visitor's shoes. What's the first thing you'll want to do when you visit a crap website? Yeah, that's right. Leave. Some web publishers believe that quality content doesn't matter. That people will be less likely to click if they get good information at a site. This is not my experience. Some also believe that a crappy content site will cause visitors to click on Adsense ads to "escape" a bad site. I think this is B.S. When's the last time you clicked on an ad to escape someone's site? It's too easy to hit the "back" button or close the browser. Page 19
  21. Your job as an online web publisher is to give

    people quality information. The ads are an added benefit to your visitors. If they want more information on a product or service related to your subject matter, then they are more likely to click on an ad. They will trust your site more. And, yes, my sites consistently have really good CTR. That means "high interest." => BUILD MORE THAN ONE WEBSITE While a few lucky web publishers have hit the golden jackpot ($10,000 a month and up) with only one site, most of them had built up a very popular site over several years and already had tons of steady traffic (in the thousands). When they put Adsense on their sites, they saw instant big money, and they continue to reap the rewards. You and I, down here in the trenches with fairly new sites, cannot realistically expect to achieve these lofty heights overnight. It's gonna take a lot of work to get where they are, if we ever do. Even if we don't, we can still make a nice enough income to achieve our desired financial goals. So quit obsessing over what so and so is making and focus on your own web publishing business. Now the truth is, the more quality websites you build, the more money you'll make with Adsense. This goes for blogs too. If one site drops in clicks, then another site often picks up the slack. This is my experience. And these sites don't have to be big money makers on their own, or get lots of traffic. It's a numbers game. The more sites you build, the more opportunities you'll have to reap Adsense profits. How many sites you build is up to you, but it's not uncommon for successful web publishers to have between two and 10 sites, some have many more! Yes, this takes a lot of work. You have to research a niche topic, keywords, popularity potential, design a decent looking site, write or hire someone to write quality content, get your site listed in the search engines, keep monitoring your site, etc. So, you'll be working some long hours in front of your computer. But think of it as building your online empire-one site at a time.

  22. => USE HIGHEST PERFORMING AD BLOCK While you can test

    various Adsense ad block sizes and colors on your website, others have already done the research as to the top performing ad block. It's the 300x250 rectangle. This block should be blended into your web page so that it doesn't look so conspicuously like an ad. People hate ads. They don't like to be sold to. However, if your ad blocks don't scream "advertisement" to them, they're more likely to click. This has been proven. The best positioning for ad blocks is at the top of the page (center position seems to get more clicks). Also, blue link color gets more clicks than any other link colors. But of course, you're free to experiment with ad blocks on your own site. => TWEAK AND UPDATE YOUR WEBSITES No website is perfect. You can always make improvements. Change or add new (relevant) information. If your website is ranking low, try adding new information. Search engines love websites that have fresh information. You don't have to add something new every week, but you can tweak and update your sites periodically. I've had sites move into excellent search engine positions just by doing a little tweaking. BEWARE of auto-generated feeds and content. Google is cracking down on sites that have too much automation. The search engines seem to love organic content that looks and reads like the web publisher put some personal effort into it. => WORK ON GETTING MORE TRAFFIC I know. This is the 100-pound gorilla for all of us. By now you know it's not easy getting web site traffic. Whole ebook empires have been built around this very subject. All I can tell you is that there are some proven techniques, but they take work and time. One of the best ways, and the method I use consistently to get great results is writing articles like this one, and submitting them to article directories and lists. It's also a nice way to get new sites indexed relatively quickly. You MUST keep working on getting more traffic to your websites. Traffic=Clicks=$$$ I know it can be frustrating when your site traffic is in the single digit per day category. Look at it this way, there's nowhere else to go but UP. Page 21
  23. => KEEP LEARNING An important KEY to increasing your Google

    Adsense profits is to learn as much as you can about the business of making money online with your website. Knowledge is power. There are plenty of generous people online offering free advice on how you can improve your Adsense income. One place I frequent is here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php? f=27 I wouldn't be where I am now without taking full advantage of free and paid resources. Remember, you're not alone. There are lots of folks going through the same thing that you are. If you are open to learning, you CAN move forward towards reaching your income goals with Google Adsense. => SET GOALS If you made $30 this month, set a goal to make $40 or $50 next month. If you made $80 this month, set a goal to make $100 next month. Having a monthly goal is a great way to stay motivated while you work on your website business. Trust me, I know. My first month with Adsense I earned a whopping $32.46. It took several months for me to make it into the monthly check club. However, with steady work, and determination to increase my Adsense income, that check has grown bigger every month. => HAVE RESPECT FOR ADWORDS ADVERTISERS Adwords advertisers respect web publishers who understand that the reason they allow their ads to show up on your website pages is so that you can help bring them quality prospects. Adwords advertisers are looking for a decent return on investment (ROI) for their Adwords dollars. They don't have to run their ads on the content network. Google makes it easy for them to turn that option off-and many do. So, keep in mind that it's in YOUR best interest to keep the Adwords advertiser's best interest in mind when you build your websites. Advertisers want to see profits just like we do. They want some of those clicks to produce sales. If they don't make enough sales, they will quit using Adwords. That leads to less money for web publishers. Page 22
  24. There are some greedy, opportunistic web publishers out there who

    only care about filling their pockets with quick cash. They don't care about how much money their SPAM pages cost advertisers when they send unqualified, or barely interested visitors, clicking onto the advertiser's site. Poor quality website traffic may make some web publishers a tidy sum, but they risk being downgraded eventually by Adwords advertisers and Google itself. Google is giving their Adwords advertisers more tools to track clicks and sales conversions. Trust me, you want to be on the good list of web publishers that can be trusted by Adwords advertisers to consistently bring them qualified visitors. That's what they are paying for. And, quit crying over low paying clicks. Google and their advertisers don't owe you a living. If you want to make more Adsense money, then you'll have to work smarter and harder. => BE PATIENT BUT PERSISTENT While Google Adsense is a great way to earn or make online money, it's definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme. It'll take months, maybe even a couple of years before you realize those big check dreams. Meanwhile, keep doing a little bit here and there to build a solid online business. Actually, what we really do is provide a needed service to people-we provide quality information to help them find what they're looking for quickly and easily. We help the "looky-loos" save time and money. We are information providers extraordinaire! What a great way to make a living. Page 23
  25. An email automatic responder or autoresponder is the second most

    important marketing tool I have to make money online. The first would be my hosting company. Without these 2 tools my internet marketing business is dead in the water. In the world of internet marketing, millions of sites are fiercely competing with each other to gain new clients. For any ecommerce site to succeed, it must capture the interest and the trust of its visitors. It is not enough that your site is perfectly designed or has the latest in animation of content. You should focus your efforts not only in attracting visitors but also in leading them to make a purchase. There are dozens of marketing strategies you can use to attract more buyers and pump up your sales. One of them is by establishing an excellent and professional reputation for prompt and efficient response. As more potential customers visit your site, you should expect a flood of inquiries and requests for information. This is an excellent opportunity for you to capture more clients and lead them to buying from your site. Thus, it is important that you carry out an efficient and prompt response to every email you receive. The fastest and most effective way to do this is by utilizing an email automatic responder. Autoresponder services use a computer program that automatically return a prewritten message to anyone who sends an email to your site. It is widely used for responding to consumer inquiries and visitor comments and suggestions. Follow up automatic responders are also used by e-zines in responding to people who subscribe or unsubscribe to their online magazines. Companies, who send out their e-newsletter regularly, also use utoresponders. How can effective autoresponder services help boost your business? The answer lies in its ability to return a prompt response to any e-mail the site receives. By responding rapidly and efficiently, you create a very good impression on your potential customer. Good email autorespondrs help you get important information back to these customers immediately. An effective autoresponder service helps you communicate your message promptly, creating a sense of professionalism and efficiency that your clients will definitely appreciate.

  26. Another very important advantage of email automatic responders is that

    it saves time with multiple marketing tasks. Certainly, you do not have enough time to personally make and send all correspondence. Autoresponder services allows you to send thank you letters, newsletters, product information, brochures, orders etc. to hundreds of clients almost immediately and simultaneously. Autoresponder services are also indispensable in any email marketing campaign. Choosing the right autoresponder is very important. What makes the best automatic responder? First, you should pick an autoresponder that is reliable and can give you 24/7 service. You cannot afford to lose a customer because your autoresponder failed to answer his query or request for information. The ability to respond promptly is the first thing you must look for in any automatic responder. Another key factor you should consider when choosing Autoresponder servcies is flexibility. Good autoresponders allow you to customize unique responses that will have maximum effect on the customer. You should avoid creating an impression that the customer is communicating with a machine instead of a real human being. An excellent email automatic responder lets you provide the information that is specifically targeted for what the potential customers are looking for. Because any email from potential customers essentially represent the customer's intent on getting more information about your product, which can ultimately lead to direct sales, all emails are important. Thus, a top Autoresponder servcie must fulfill all these duties to help you boost your business. For all of our autoresponder needs we prefer GetResponse. They are very reasonably priced and have proved to be reliable and easy to use. Page 25
  27. There are two things that will determine your success or

    failure in business. Actually, they will be the source of your rise or fall in life whether or not you choose to make money online. The first success factor will be what you have between your ears. A wise man once said "As you think, so you become." No truer words have ever been spoken. Your mindset is your life and you control it by feeding it health food or junk food. The mind is like a machine that helps to create whatever it focuses on. This happens even if you're not aware of it. Everything in your life today, good or bad, is a product of your past thoughts. If you don't know what you want you're going to keep on not getting what you want. You have to take the time to figure out what you want and then to keep your mind focused on bringing it to you. This isn't some new age philosophy. It's been taught over and over by some of the worlds greatest successes for centuries. Why? Because it works. How do you put your mind to work for what you want? Telling you how is the easy part: Feed your mind with books, tapes, music and movies that inspire you and motivate you to create the life of your dreams Avoid negative input from books, music, movies, TV, news and magazines that have a reputation for being cynical. Surround yourself with positive people and keep "dream stealers" out of your life permanently. Life's too short to spend time with complainers instead of creators. Say affirmations of how you see yourself in the life you want. Be grateful for whatever you have. When you give thanks for what you have you will attract more of what you want. Seek out mentors. Find people who are where you want to be. Read about them, contact them and ask how they got there. The Secret Weapons of Success The Secret Weapons of Success Page 26
  28. Getting you to do these things is the hard part.

    Not because you don't want to. It's because our busy lives can be filled mostly with negative media and negative people. You can get out of this trap if you stay awake and aware to filtering negativity out of your life. This will change your life in ways nothing else will. So it's worth it. The second success factor ties into this. It's ACTION. The single worst enemy of a human being is procrastination. It steals your time and nothing is more valuable than your time. Wasting time is wasting your life. If you are building a business online you need to take action by making a business plan, reading it daily and most importantly - working the plan. Don't just think about it. Even if you can only put in 5 hours a week. Plan out when you will work and what you will do when you work. Then don't let anything keep you from sticking to your plan. By taking repeated actions to build your business you can tell your brain what you value. It will lead you to wake up with breakthrough ideas. You'll start coming into contact with people that think like you and who can help you climb the ladder of success. You'll keep laying one brick at a time and suddenly you'll look back to see you built a road that leads to the success you want. Now you've got the secret weapons for success. Keep your mind focused and clean. Take daily actions to build your dreams. Sounds simple, but it's easier said than done. Just do it. Page 27
  29. You have been told countles times that one of the

    "secrets" to making money online is to own an opt-in list. In fact you know of many people who own opt-in lists and they make fortunes from them, so why is it that after following all the advice you can't make anything from your own list? You dived straight in, picked a topic which seemed a good money earner and started building your list. You probably poured quite a lot of money into your list, and... You haven't made a single cent in profit! After your third or fourth month the realization hit home that you're loosing money, big time. 1500 subscribers and only 20 or so respond to an offer, 30 if you offer a freebie, but nobody ever buys anything. So what's gone wrong? Well, diving straight in, picking a good money earner and thinking others will believe you for starters. Think about it for a bit, you generally only buy from an offer in an email if you know the author is reputable and talking from experience. You trust them and the more the author is known across the internet, the more you trust their judgment. That Ezine you joined the other day because it seemed interesting, do you really trust the editor? Let's face it you've never heard of him before, would you buy anything on his recommendation? Probably not... So why should any of your subscribers buy from your recommendation, after all, the first they heard of you was in the initial email you sent them and it's only three months down the road since then. The truth is, the money's in the list only if your subscribers believe in, and trust you. This platform of trust is like a new building and you will either add a few extra bricks to it, or remove a few bricks from it with very email you send, every forum post you make, every website you post your testimonial to. You don't need the guru's to sing your praises, although they will when you build a responsive list that's big enough to get their financial attention. Big lists don't just happen, they have to be built and they all start small. As you build your list you are building your reputation, so: Build your list and your abilities at the same time. Build your list through your own abilities, not other peoples.

  30. Be honest with yourself and your list. Always provide truthful

    unbiased information. Don't look at your list as a money earner. Treasure your list; your subscribers deserve the best. Always reply promptly to subscriber's correspondence. Don't forget to build your online presence at the same time, the more people hear about you, or read about you, the more your reputation grows: Reply professionally to forum posts. Send honest professional testimonials to product owners. Make friends with other list owners. Conduct joint ventures with other marketers. The bottom line with building profitable lists is if you treat your subscribers with respect and offer honest and true advice, they will in turn respect you and take you up on the offers you make. Remember this - nobody minds paying for information if they know it will help them and it's through your reputation that they will come to trust your judgment. That's a big responsibility; you can't afford to abuse it! Also if you need help to write good email content, check out Inbox Assassin. Page 29
