Serious Marketing Guide

You really need to begin building a list. Not tomorrow or next year, but now. It is the single most important action you can take for yourself and your internet income. Without a list of responsive, interested people, you will always be scrambling for traffic for your online business. Whether it is pay per click, which you must pay for, or viral marketing that you must develop products for, or articles you must write, there is always something you need to do in order to attain traffic.

You are, in a sense, not in control. Let me give you an illustration. You construct a new website, with a theme which you are knowledgeable about. So, now you have your website up. But where is the traffic? Either from a pay per click campaign, or buying advertising from newsletters could be used. And which are certainly effective. However, this will obviously cost you money. Now, let us imagine you have a fairly large list of ten thousand subscribers, with an interest in a similar area as the brand new website. All you now need to do is send this list an email informing them of this new website, and instant free traffic for you! Once you have the list, it is really this easy. Even if only five percent from this list opened their email and clicked the link you supplied within it, this is five hundred free, immediate visitors to your website. This is what I personally call Directional Email Traffic. And this works for a new website or for any website you want to get traffic. It is the most valuable that exists. Obviously, the closer to the specific zone of interest your list has with website in question, the more likely they are to not only visit, but click links on the website pages and buy whatever products are being sold, whether your own or as an affiliate. And also because these people know you and trust you. So if you ask them to do something, chances are many of them will. Can you see how powerful this is? Instead of having to buy the traffic, it is free.

This is what makes a targeted, responsive list so powerful. Remember, you need to start building this list immediately. Otherwise you will have to pay for more traffic, both with money and your time, than you really should. If you do not have a list building program in place yet, hopefully this article will convince you of the necessity of building your list.   Gary Martin All Rights Reserved.

Chris Connors There was a lot of buzz recently over Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage.

He made a million dollars within 6 months selling pixels for a buck a piece. This feat created a stir within the Internet Marketing Community and people were formulating million dollar ideas of their own. Many tried to replicate Alex’s pixel phenomenon but without much success. Alex made us realize that making a million dollars online is possible and all it requires is some smart, out of the box thinking. In this article, I will try to categorize the ingredients required to formulate your own million dollar idea. The Internet is vast and you can get lost in all the information, unless you have a clear thinking. When you start working on your million dollar idea, you have to answer three essential questions – who will pay you, why will they pay you and how much will they pay you? Answer these basic questions to all your ideas and you will end up with a winner. Let us explore each of these individually. Who Will Pay You? This is the first question you have to ask yourself. From where are you getting your revenue? You can be paid directly by customers, which was the case with Alex’s pixel website. Besides this, the most popular avenues used by Internet Marketers today are affiliate programs and contextual advertising like Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. There are a lot of other methods you can get paid but we will stick with the ones mentioned because they are the most popular. When you want to come up with a million dollar idea, you should be clear about your revenue model. Each one of these methods can be rewarding if your idea is good. Some people may argue that getting paid directly by customers is the best model. But in my experience, you can do equally well with affiliate programs and contextual advertising. Why Will They Pay You? So you have frozen on your revenue model. The next step is to figure out why these guys will pay you. Whether you are getting paid by customers, a merchant running affiliate programs or contextual advertisers, there has to be a strong enough reason for getting paid.

Don’t look at this question at the surface level. Explore deeply the benefits that you are offering for getting paid. If you are getting paid directly by customers, what is it that you are offering to them? Is it worth the money for your customers? If not, you need to make your product or service valuable enough to justify the payment. If your revenue model includes affiliate programs, then what are you offering which will make customers buy through your affiliate links? Ask yourself questions like these and get to the bottom of your offering. The bottom line is that unless you are adding value to your end customers, you won’t make a dime. Your million dollar idea should focus on providing something useful to your customers, something which will make them act the way you want them to. How Much Will They Pay You? The road to a million bucks can be as long or short as you want it to be. If you are getting paid 1 cent at a time for a customer action, you may never see a million dollars in your bank account. Your idea should revolve around a business model which pays you a handsome amount per «action». An action here is defined as that activity which triggers a payment for you. If you use Google Adsense, the action is a website visitor clicking on your Adsense ad. If you are promoting affiliate programs, the action is someone buying through your affiliate link. Each action has a reward associated with it. It can be 5 cents or a $100. I am not saying that the $100 action will make you a millionaire faster than the 5 cents action. The number of times the action is repeated might differ greatly between the two. Your idea should find a good combination of the reward and the frequency of the action. This is the key to making a quick million on the Internet. Conclusion Once you have answered these questions for each of your ideas, a clear picture will start emerging.

You will have an in depth understanding of your ideas and their potential. The idea with the highest potential is one which has a clear revenue model, adds value to the end customers and has a high reward volume and frequency. Your million dollar idea may be worth much more than you think.
