Serious Marketing Guide

If you are new to the net and interested in making money ethically then this article will educate you in the various methods of making money online. It uses a blog as an example of various types money making paths. Blogs cost nothing and are provided free to build a community on the internet. First of all you can sell a product directly. Have a website and sell as you would have in a mail order catalogue, except thanks to the internet you can automate most of the process, other than shipping and handling.

You also still have to stock a product. However this becomes limited when compared to your traditional shoppping mall because while Wal-mart, K-mart, Big-W or whatever can have thousands of products on display, attempting the same on one website becomes very difficult. This is why most people to sell products direct online have a limited number of products for sale. I do participate in a variation of this same theme and you probably have as well, selling on auction on ebay is a type of direct product selling, courteousy of a third party provider. Next go to the resource box and you will see examples of all the rest of the things I am going to be talking about. (just copy and paste the address to your URL – thats the address bar) Firstly, you will note that there are no direct products for sale. I don’t want to ship hundreds of items, I want to leverage my time, so the first thing for sale is a product available through an affliliate. At this stage it doesn’t matter who it is for, its the concept that is important here. You don’t have to sell a product directly to make money on the internet. You can become an affliliate member which gives you the right to advertise a product and if a sale is made you get a commission – kind of like your old door to door salesperson, but this time the door is via the customers internet.

In order to succeed here you need traffic to your website, the more targeted traffic the better.

(by targeted I mean something that the customer is looking for, you don’t want someone who wants to buy a dog to come to your cat website, as its unlikely to result in a sale). Eventually given enough traffic the sales will come. Remember the higher the cost of the product the less sales are likely, most people are on a restricted budget, but the higher the cost or the product normally the large commission payout. This is a balancing act, if one thing pays out $500 dollars you would only have to sell one a week, if another paids you a $5 commission then you would have to sell hundred to make the same money. It is important to understand that as an affliliate you are provided with a code embedded into your links which tracks you are being responsible for bringing the company the sale. Hence in any banner, links, code to put in, make sure its your own. The second item for sale is a viral type of product or similiar to the old MLM’s. In this case GDI – Global domains International, which has the rights over the .ws web address ending (in this case .ws is advertised as standing for website). What they are selling is a hosting service provider as well as a domain name and a variety of other internet services, quite cheaply really considering what your getting. But the real money making deal here is that by signing up others you make a $1 per person per month, and you make another $1 for each person they sign up and so on to five levels deep.

Why would a company do this. Because its cheap advertising for them and explodes their growth. In the case of GDI they have made it very clear that they want be the dominant website address .ws, in order to accomplish this they are willing to share money with anyone who helps them grow. By clicking this link the company knows you brought them another customer and your share in the profits. I call it viral because like a virus it catching from one person to a few more to many more, to hundreds, well you get the idea. $1 dollars is not alot, but $1 times 5000 is. Once again you are not selling a product, you are as an agent, and you are not selling a tradtitional goods but in this case a service. This is a viral type or MLM type of system. Often MLM gets a bad rap, but I believe it is because people buy the SYSTEM, instead of buying the PRODUCT, whatever you buy make sure you are happy with the PRODUCT. The third one is an ebay link. Once again this earns money through affliliate program. It is easy to sign as an affliliate, just look on any web home page and your will normally find a link to «affiliates» In this case the affliliate it run through a third party – commission junction, who acts as an independant company to make sure affliliates are not ripped off, paid on time, etc. This isn’t even directly selling a service – its straight out promoting another website. The four one is EPI – Emerald passport Inc. which is a total online product, namely financial education materials, self improvement, hours of video and audio, information store on line. Its an example of selling INFORMATION online. Don’t think information is valuable consider this short piece of information for anyone who has sold on ebay. Do you list a product at $20 or $19.99. Which will make you the most money? The $19.99! how you ask, because the listing fee difference between $20 and $19.99 is 25 cents (don’t tell ebay I told you this, that might lose some of your money).

Hence if you list and sell at $20 you earn 24 cents less than the person who listed and sold at $19.99. How much is this information worth – well at least 24 cents, but to those who sell hundreds of items, much more if they are making this basic mistake and costing themselves money. Obviously quality information that saves money, creates money or increases your knowledge is important. Finally you see an short article on clickbank. Like comission junction they act as an afflitate provider and users. This link sells NOTHING yet still makes money. HOW? because anyone who travels down your link to clickbank and joins in makes you a small commission. Once again its a company paying you to advertise, in this case to help them advertise. A similar thing is google adwords where you are paid to advertise and then pay a small amount per ad click through. Some other links are included as examples, but you get the picture. Some links make NO money but are their to try and generate traffic, see instantBuzz.com, traffic swarm, etc. Not everyone can be listed in the first pages of a search engine, so you can either accept that fact, be in constant competition to optimise and re-optimise your web page to stay near the top. There are people willing to do this. Why you may ask? Because the free advertising generated by being in the number one spot is a virtual goldmine and drives huge quantity of traffic to your site, especially if you are listed with a big search engine like google or yahoo. However if you aren’t going to be listed high on one of these search engines (in fact sometimes its even hard to be found and cache by these engines) then you are going to need alternative ways to bring traffic to your website. Another option to marketing is to pay for it, like with google ads word.

Another is to advertise offline in a variety of traditional media, magazines, newspaper, radio and TV. I hope this article and the website at have helped you increase your knowledge of how business takes place on the internet. There may be other ways I haven’t yet covered, but this is a good base for you to start.

Alicia M Forest and ClientAbundance.com Did you know that joint ventures can dramatically increase your income in very little time? And, if they are done right, they can even be fun?
What’s a joint venture? In a nutshell, it’s a partnership between two (or more) businesses that creates a win-win scenario for all. For example, joining together to offer a conference to your target market, or collaborating on a teleseminar series to offer to both your audiences. It could be something as simple as a cross-promotion of products, where each of your products complements the other. There are three key benefits to pursuing joint ventures: 1. You can strengthen your relationship with your current clients and customers by offering them something new and of value. 2. You can leverage your time and talent by promoting someone else’s offerings (while they promote yours) while still adding to your bottom line. 3. You can leave the lone ranger behind and add to your own body of knowledge and expertise by learning new ways to create and deliver your material by working with a partner. Approach potential joint venture partners only after you’ve gotten to know them a bit through their work. Once you’ve been able to discern that a win-win relationship could be created, make certain you have an idea to offer to them that answers the question of «what’s in it for them?» Then once you’ve narrowed your list to a couple of people and have developed an idea that benefits both your businesses, contact them either by phone or email.

Be brief, polite, and authentic. Don’t push, just tell them in casual friendly terms what your idea is and see what kind of response you get. You might be pleasantly surprised. After you and your partner have decided to work together, make sure that the terms of the agreement are spelled out in writing. Depending on the size and scope of the project, the agreement can be something as simple as a signed letter stating who will do what and how any proceeds will be split, to a more formal agreement involving your attorney’s input. But to give the idea of a joint venture a try, just start out small. Connect with someone you admire in your niche, whose offerings complement yours, and see if you can’t come up with something simple to do within the next month or two. Consider writing a short ebook or offering a one-topic teleseminar. You’ll each increase the size of your email list as well as add to your bottom line.

Now that’s a win-win!

Shelly Leroux A new novelty site has arrived on the internet scene with full expectation of making a name for itself.

A unique name. A brand name. Your name! The web site is called YourUniqueBrand.com It is the first site of its kind to offer you a place to make your mark on the internet scene especially if you are an internet novice. The sites purpose is to help you to create and claim your own unique brand phrase. A phrase that will separate you from all others, who may happen to have your exact same name, on the internet. It is a little more involved than just leaving your signature. If you have done business online for any length of time you will notice a trend towards branding yourself. The most successful internet marketers have a brand phrase associated with their name or in their signature which is usually associated with the style, product, or service that allowed them to make their mark. However, most new internet marketers do not have a brand phrase that separates them from the pack. In order to be successful online you must break away from the pack. For that reason the site features an easy to follow tutorial on how to go about creating your unique branding phrase so that you can immediately make your name stand out. Then you can conveniently claim it as your own if it is not already taken. If you already have a brand that you use, you may want to rush over to the site and claim it before someone else does. You can then link it back to your personal or main web site. Once your unique brand phrase is claimed it is yours permanently. No one else can use it and it does not expire. Another unique twist to the site is that the script shuffles the registered names around each time the browser is refreshed making sure that each name gets a turn at the top of the page where it will be seen. This could mean traffic to your web site as people go there to browse the list of names already claimed. At the very least YourUniqueBrand.com could become a type of “internet yearbook” for online marketers. A few years from now we can all look back and see who was part of the class.

Won’t that be fun? A novelty for certain.
