The first strategy to make money online is building a list.

This strategy is the most important step to continue to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of autoreponder system you need to get one. Don’t be cheap here either because your entire business will hinge on this one piece of software.

You can build your list many different ways. You can buy leads from reputable list building companies and get them into your autoresponder. Most good list building companies will have an option to send an email to your autoresponder so you don’t have to manually input the lead’s information.

Another effective way of building your list is from the traffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective, does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service then you can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I don’t recommend it as you will usually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.

To make the most of your opt-in form and get the most signups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should be strategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The title of your autoresponder email series should address the problem by offering a solution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hosting package and I want opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.

Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build your own. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you how easy it really is. Take my 10 day email course “Build a Website with Ease” [signup form here].

The second strategy to make money online is driving traffic to your website.

When I say traffic, I don’t just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords, bloging, article writing and linking to drive targeted traffic to your website.

Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can pay for your site to be show when certain keywords are queried in their search engine. The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead, what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allow you to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bang for your buck. You can use this handy little tool to find similar keywords: inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

Bloging is another great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this technique the blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page witch links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blog with good quality content.

I recommend writing your own content which specifically relates to your affiliate program and or products. Once you have some content you will need to submit your RSS feed to the as many blog search engines as you can. This will put your blog out there for other webmasters to use as content feeds on their websites.

This win-win situation allows webmasters to have quality content on their website, which increases the value of that website while driving targeted traffic directly to you. This is done by the URL link that you conveniently placed under your name after the blog was written.

That means that your link is on a blog feed that is on thousands of websites. Not only do people click those links but Google sees these links pointing back to you and thinks that you’re popular and you are rewarded with a higher page rank.

Article writing is basically the same as bloging except the information in an article will need to have more useful content and be peppered with keywords that the webmasters are looking for. After completing your article you will submit (syndicate) it to content sites as opposed to blog search engines.

Content sites are places where webmasters go to find specific content to offer their readers. If you are a good writer you may at some point build up a name for yourself and finagle a deal with a webmaster to write exclusives for his site. His readers get great exclusive content and you get highly motivated targeted traffic.

Linking is perhaps the most widely used form of increasing traffic and page rank. However, if done incorrectly you could end up hurting your Google page rank and ultimately loosing potential buyers. You will need your own website for this technique as you will need a ‘links’ page to place your reciprocal links on.

Many people go and submit their URL links to link farms in an attempt to trick Google into giving them a better page rank. This does NOT work; in fact Google has been known to penalize websites for engaging in these activities.

The secret to linking is to find websites in your niche market which have a Google page rank of 4 or above and enticing the webmaster to list your link on their website. You may think that you would be helping your competition, well you would be. But your competition would be helping you as well. It’s better to send leaving traffic to a partner than just having them close their browser window, and remember that works both ways.

The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase you sales and residuals it done correctly. Reciprocal linking, Bloging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. Those strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar to new heights. You can and will make money with this system, Guaranteed!

One of the biggest mistakes new home-based business owners make is trying to do everything from square one.

You can rest assured that whatever you are attempting to do or build, it has already been done.

Sure, it probably won’t be a mirror image of what you’re doing, but it will have many of the same basic ingredients.

The fastest and easiest way to get your business going and growing is by finding others who have already done what you want to do and learning and benefiting from their efforts.

A local business person recently told me he was in the process of building an autoresponder. Of course, this wouldn’t be a strange thing to be doing if it was a service he plans to sell, but it has nothing to do with his business!

Instead of investing a few hours to explore those autoresponders already in existence, he is investing well more than a hundred hours trying to build one on his own so he can communicate with his customers.

By conducting only a couple of hours research, he would have discovered a variety of outstanding, affordable autoresponder services that are highly sophisticated and subject to continual upgrading and improvement to keep up with ever-changing technology and consumer needs.

Imagine the kind of business he could have generated for himself if he focused those one hundred plus hours acquiring new customers for his business and expanding and improving on his products and services!

Unfortunately, like him, many new home business owners are still of the employee mindset — that they have to work relentlessly and do everything alone.

They haven’t yet developed the entrepreneurial mindset that understands you have to work smarter, not harder.

Another time-consuming task many new business owners take on is spending hours, even days, trying to design the perfect logo. I’m embarrassed to say I spent DAYS searching the Internet for sample logos, looking for ideas, then sitting and drawing possible logo after logo.

Most people have more creative flair in their big toe than I have in my entire body, yet I thought that if I put enough time into it, even though it meant not focusing on increasing business, the perfect logo would reveal itself.

I eventually abandoned the obsession and as soon as I handed the project over to my web designer, I had a new, effective and eye-catching logo within 24 hours.

It was a costly mistake. I had spent so many years working in a support capacity that I didn’t know how to make the shift to a leader capacity and delegate the task.

(Even more important, I later realized, having a logo is waaaay down on the priority scale and doesn’t even have to be considered during the start-up period.)

As you are starting your business, consider the following tasks and ask yourself if someone else could be doing them while you focus on building:

designing brochures and marketing materials

creating your web site

setting up your voice mail and e-mail

purchasing supplies and equipment

stuffing envelopes and taking them to the post office, or delivering flyers

market research

hooking up your new computer, modem, fax and installing software

trouble shooting computer problems

writing articles, reports or white papers

These are not revenue generating activities and if you find them challenging or time-consuming, delegate these tasks to someone else like a family member, co-op student or part-time assistant.

For the more specialized items, seek the input of a mastermind member or business colleague on how they handle those responsibilities. Also, hire or barter with experts in marketing, web design and technology.

Another wheel you don’t need to re-invent is that of processes, particularly in the area of marketing.

Marketing may not be your forte, yet it is the most important element of your business, and this is where many new home business owners bury themselves.

The good news is you don’t have to develop your marketing process by trial and error. Commit several days to studying other businesses both in and outside of your industry. How do they promote themselves? How do they collect leads? How do they convert leads?

In other words, how do they catch the attention of potential customers, get them to express an interest to learn more, and how do they get them to ultimately pull out their wallets and buy?

The quickest and easiest way to create winning processes is to study already successful businesses, then model what they do. Sign up for their newsletters and request additional information. Let them begin a courtship with you and pay attention to what they’re doing. Buy a product or two and see what tools they use to keep inviting you back for more.

This doesn’t mean copy them word for word or action by action, but assimilate what works, mould it to your specific business and add the essential ingredient of uniqueness that allows you to stand out from the crowd.

These are just three simple strategies you can start with today to get on the fast-track to home business success.

Again, here they are in a nutshell:

Uncover what has already been created or invented, then implement or install. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Think like a business owner, not an employee. Delegate, hire or trade.

Model the processes of others who have already achieved the level of success you’re seeking. They’ve already made the mistakes for you and know what works.

Incorporate these strategies and you will shave hours and dollars from your start-up curve and begin reaping the rewards faster than you ever thought possible.

Article Marketing is by far the most reliable long term internet marketing strategy for one primary reason. It provides web content which is the reason millions of users worldwide surf the internet daily. They seek for information.

Articles are the core of information on the net, whether they are objective or subjective about any issue. Search engines were built to provide content and actually the struggle was to provide the most relevant web content according to the search terms the user provides.

Article Marketing is a relative new internet marketing industry with great potential. However many pitfalls and misunderstandings have been released lately. That was expected because it’s a market principal, whenever there is growth and opportunity, “opportunists” and “scammers” step in.

The first subject is the article Submission Software and article automation procedures of any kind. The promises sound great. Massive submissions to article directories with push button software solutions. As tempting as it may seem, it is too good to be true. That happens because the algorithms the huge search engines corporations developed are so advanced that they detect any instant massive growth of links of any website. They are programmed to consider this “growth” as unnatural and then take precautions. These precautions could be a downgrade on search engine results for the spamming website or ban it completely form the search engines.

In simple words do not try to fool search engines giants like Google for example. Their spam filters are extremely advanced. Even if you succeed the spamming temporarily you will be discovered sooner or later and if you have a serious online business you jeopardize it.

The same applies to instant and massive web content growth of the website. For example if you had a website with five sub WebPages and after 3 days you have 2000 web pages. Google spam filters will detect it again as an unnatural web content growth of your website and proceed to the according measures. You must realize that search engines will do anything to protect the quality of their search results because this will bring targeted traffic and consequently the advertisers. You must grow your website and internet exposure step by step. This way you will gain long turn results and you will not be afraid of Google’s frequently algorithm’s alterations because you follow the rules.

The next subject is the PLR industry (Private Label Articles). Since most of the people are not writers or they despise writing, there comes the PLR solution which is monthly service (most of the cases) providing a number of articles each month to the subscriber. These articles are written by ghost writers and provided to hundreds of paying subscribers. It seems ideal but it’s not.

The spam filters are here too and focus on duplicated content. The same article by dozens of websites will not give you any advantage. What you can do is to modify them or by hand (which is time consuming) or with using some of the anti-duplicate content software titles. But there relies a problem. Most of these software titles do modify the articles for search engines but it’s not readable by the users. So you must be careful and check constantly what the PLR software provides and how alters the article.

The last subject relates with the article directories which have been increased massively the last two years. Should you consider submitting your article to 500 article directories without examining the quality of each one, or you should improve the quality of your article and submit it to qualitative ones?

The second case is more effective in the long run because you maximize your possibilities to have your article published to a huge online publication with thousands of unique visitors daily. In that way you gain massive exposure and most important credibility to your industry.

Finally the conclusion of the above is that shortcuts will not help you. The future on web content industry belongs to people who are not afraid to write (they don’t have to be novelists) and produce Unique content. The entrepreneurs who grasp the value of unique content and apply it to their marketing efforts will definitely gain the advantage.

So you now have proof that a starting a wholesale business could make perfect sense to your financial situation. You have potentially found that eBay as of 2006 more than 700,000 regular people like you and me are making a part-time income and nearly 80,000 as of today are making a full time income from eBay and online auctions alone. What should be the first step you should take, even before putting some sweat into a business action plan??

The most important concept and fact to understand when starting any kind of business online is initial research. When you schedule part of your day regimen activities for research, you will discover how profitable your business idea really is. You will get to understand if the business niche that you want to start, is in-demand.

You will get to confirm to yourself if the cost for starting a wholesale business is executable according to your financial responsibilities. Better yet, you could know if the wholesale business e-commerce niche that you have dazzled your mind for weeks- makes sense for an effort in your first and foremost important asset of all when starting an e-commerce store- your time.

One of the greatest paid tools you can search in Yahoo, Google or MSN is called: Keyword Elite. Such paid tool is one of the greatest tool to harvest thousands of potential targeted keywords for getting to confirm yourself if the business is indeed worth your time. The tool was made by Brad Callen.

The Keyword Elite software tool if starting with it, should gather you more than niche analysis. It can even tell you what your competitors are actually bidding on the search engines on a persistent basis.

This would help any small business owner predict behavior in keyword advertising, therefore, giving you more than enough room to clarify if the niche should need more of your time for further final conclusions if your wholesale e-commerce business is or not worth it.

What goes around cheap comes the very next day costly in many investments and business steps taken. While free tools can give you hints and outstanding information for getting to know some of your potential e-commerce store facts, getting only hints without confirming it in more accurate ways could mean the difference between getting eaten alive by bad financial moves and great initial investments.

When starting a wholesale business, always do whatever it takes to get every fact you can gather to make favorable business conclusions for getting your e-commerce mini-mall with the right action plan now and in following years.

Which Programs Offer You Success
Find the best affiliate programs and products to market. Knowing which products and programs will help you achieve sales with less work is vital. Would you rather sell 100 memberships at $5.00 affiliate commissions or $50 commissions per sale? Higher commissions of course!

There are various factors to consider in selecting such a affiliate program or product to promote.

Of course you will want to market products that fit in with your target audience. You will also want to affiliate yourself with a reputable company that pays their affiliates on time. If after 6 months you have not seen any more commissions comming in, than dump that program and search for another.

There is such an abundance of affiliate programs online, that you can afford to be picky when searching for the perfect one. Take some time and scan affiliate forums to find feedback about various programs from the people that are promoting them.

Write free reports or ebooks
This type of marketing is called viral marketing and is highly effective. You have to options here. You can load up your autoresponder with a series of short reports that offer the prospective customer, the benefits of using your service or product.

The other option is to use an ebook composing software and write an e-book, about your experiences with the product or service that you are using. Or your ebook could be on a topic related to affiliate marketing, internet marketing, etc., etc.

How to Keep Your Affiliate Marketing Business Organized ©
Copyright Rosalind Gardner, All Rights Reserved.

I’m fairly anal about keeping my business, and almost all
aspects of my life, well-organized.

For example, open my closet and you’ll see my clothes sorted by
garment type and color (according to the spectrum from white to
black).

Sick, eh?

How about a food cupboard sorted into soups, veggies, snacks,
sauce mixes, pasta and rice, etc? Oh ya, and the labels ARE
turned out.

Are you ready to have me committed yet?

Wait just a moment, please. There’s method in my madness…
really and truly.

Surely you know people who can’t organize their way out of a
paper bag. They come home and leave their keys in a different
place each time. Then whenever they want to go out, they need to
spend 5 minutes searching for their keys… and/or shoes, or
jacket, or paperwork…

What a huge a waste of life!

I use the term ‘life’ because life is comprised of, and measured
by, time.

Nothing is more precious than time and making each of your
moments count. Spending time on trivial matters like looking for
keys when you could be having fun with friends and family,
helping others through your business, saving the planet, or even
taking a nap - is a waste of time.

Likewise, looking for a merchant’s affiiliate interface login
and password when you want to install one of their links on your
site, is a waste of time.

Scrap that… it’s a waste of time to have to look for the link
itself.

All the details relating to your affiliate marketing business
need to be at right at your fingertips.

I stay organized by keeping everything in one big Excel file
accessed from my desktop.

The file has a number of worksheets, each with its own set of
information.

All the programs I’m affiliated with are listed on one
worksheet, with headings for program name, username/login,
password, network association (if any), primary links, my own
redirect links, broker (2nd tier) links, link for the affiliate
interface, manager’s name and contact info, commission rate and
other important info.

Another sheet logs all monies owed and received, and tallies
income by program and category, as well as by month and year.

On another worksheet I’ve listed software information including
purchase date, registration numbers and login details.

Still another keeps track of information for subscriptions such
as forums and membership sites.

Everytime I come up with an article idea, it gets entered on the
‘Article Ideas’ worksheet. There’s yet another sheet with a list
of article submission sites.

I log interview, presentation, and teleconference dates and
details in that file.

Testimonials and success stories have their own separate sheets.

The Net Profits Today newsletter is laid out in advance on
another sheet, with suggestions for topics and articles.

Last but not least, my project (to-do) list is on another
worksheet, filed by domain name and sorted by date due.

The ‘Big File’ is always open.

When I join a program, the details get entered right away. While
reading my email, I cut and paste testimonials right into the
file, and jot ideas for future NPT topics … as they pop up.

My site files are organized by domain name - not generic terms
like ‘dating site’, or ‘book site’, as I’ve seen some webmasters
do.

As soon as I join a program I enter all the details on the
relevant sheet, and create a redirect link, which I know I’ll
use if I promote the product via email.

I create email filters for every webmaster I do business with,
and messages go straight into their personal folder. One quick
filter - no more filing.

Setting up - and keeping up with - such a system may seem like a
lot of work.

It’s not.

Do it often enough and it becomes second nature.

Staying organized sure beats the heck out of wasting five
minutes trying to find the email with that merchant’s affiliate
program login information just so you find your affiliate links.

What other strategy provides the benefit of increasing your Website page rank through the numerous inbound links it produces? What other strategy can effectively generate interested visitors to your URL? What is my top marketing strategy and the top marketing strategy for the vast majority of marketers to drive targeted visitors to their sites? Article Marketing, of course!

Oh but wait, the key to a successful article marketing campaign is to produce unique articles each filled with unique content. The effectiveness of article marketing has been declining for several years, until now. What had happened was that Google started to recognize articles that were being submitted everywhere containing duplicate content. They soon instituted a filter that so called “weeded out” these duplicate content articles and therefore stripping the inbound links generated from your pages or article submissions. The result was that about one in 19 inbound links counted positively towards your page ranking.

What is our solution? As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, submitting articles with unique content! Submitting to thousands of publishers as I do, you need an article submission software that can handle this daunting task.

So, how do you overcome this duplicate tragedy? By using the best and most powerful article marketing tool that I can recommend is Article Pro Software. It can randomly select paragraphs from the three different articles you write and compile them into hundreds and thousands of unique articles. That’s right, only three different articles you need to write, not hundreds or even thousands!

Allow me to explain…You actually write one original article and then rewrite it again twice keeping the same paragraph structure. If you have a 5 paragraph article with three different versions it actually randomly creates what looks like 125 different article you are submitting. If you have a 6 paragraph article with three different versions it randomly creates what looks 216 different articles. Remember, Google’s duplicate filter would catch about 17 in about 18 duplicate articles. But now, by submitting unique articles you can effectively have most all of your articles accepted and listed in Google. Through testing, it has been proven that 300 duplicate articles shrink to about 16 or 17 that count as inbound links toward your page rank. By submitting unique articles and retaining those inbound links, you would end up with 18.75 times more effectiveness or 1875% more effectiveness as a percentage figure. Eureka!

Yes, you can really get hundreds or thousands of inbound links coming to your site! Links that search engines love to see, links that are driving you interested traffic, links that blast your page rank higher with each article submission. What other strategy has the dynamics to generate that amount of inbound links in such a minimal amount of time?

What are you waiting for? Lets get submitting those unique articles. Article Pro Software will take care of submitting all those unique articles for you at the click of your mouse so you don’t have to sit there and write hundreds, if not thousands, of unique articles. It would take you years to accomplish what can be done in a matter of hours. Now that is an amazing marketing tool that every article marketer should have!

If your not ready to purchase this article Submission Software yet, then you must submit unique articles to be effective. Try and make them as unique as possible manually by hand. This is the best way, and my #1 strategy for generating huge amounts of URL traffic.

If you have been looking for a way to get visitors to your website that are interested in you product or information I can show you three steps that can help get you the customers you need.

What you need is targeted traffic and I’m going to show you one way you can get that.It is possible to organize you website in a manner that will cause only the people that are interested in what you have to offer to come stop by. First off when most people first start out on the Internet they usually make some huge website with no niche and then go out and use some FFA’s to post an ad, then they sit back and wonder why no one is coming to there website.

To keep this simple we will break it down into three steps. Step one, find one and only one keyword and focus you entire attention on that keyword. Some experts will tell you this is wrong that you should mass market and in some cases this is true but if you don’t have any foundation, mentor or lot’s of capitol believe me one keyword at a time is the route to go.

Now don’t just pick any keyword, you must do some keyword research there are many keyword tools out there a couple are keyword locator, keyword elite, good keywords, and many more but if you want to do it the free way you can use the overture keyword tool just type that into the search engine you will find it.

Make sure you do a good job a picking you keyword because you want a keyword that enough people search for a month. Now that you have targeted you keyword you will focus all you efforts to target you traffic at that keyword (ready aim fire!). OK so now we have a keyword now on to step two. Targeted traffic step two,optimize you homepage to that keyword.

Take that keyword and go crazy put it everywhere in you meta tags which break down into meta keywords and meta description if you don’t know what I’m talking about then you should do some quick research on it. Meta tags use to be a big thing for search engines but since most people started stuffing hundreds of keywords into there meta tags it became a problem. For the keywords portion use you targeted keyword in different ways like say your keyword is targeted traffic then you would use (targeted traffic,how to get targeted traffic,buy targeted traffic) and more but you focus is still on you main keyword the other examples you will focus on afterwords and that is when you start seeing the pay off. When writing the meta description make sure the you use the keyword at least two times unless you description is very short.

OK now I’m going to list all the other places your keyword should be. For targeted traffic you should place the keyword in the headline, title, at least one in every paragraph, alt image tag (this is the words that pop up if you hover the mouse over an image), bold the keyword once or twice if it is a long page, make the keyword a link on you page also have it go to some page on your website.

Now that you have done all that your getting closer to targeted traffic to your website, see how I keep using that word targeted traffic it’s because that’s what I’m targeting this article to because when people look for targeted traffic on a search engine I want them to find me because what I offer they could really use to increase there targeted traffic so at the end of this article I will include a link and it will be targeted traffic highlighted which is getting to the main part of targeting your viewer’s.

Links to your website, as far as search engine rank goes this is the most important part the more links you have pointing back at you with you targeted keyword as the anchor text the higher you are ranked for that word. So how to you get those links pointing back at your website. Targeted Traffic step three, you focus should be on building links this can be done by trading links with other websites or link directory’s,writing press releases, writing articles like this one and then submitting them to an article website, use social bookmarking and tag you site as your keyword, leave posts in forums (make sure what you writing is relevant) then put you link in your signature or in the post,and then there are many more ways to promote your website which are very good but right now I’m focusing on raising you up the search engines.

Targeted Traffic is not hard to get it just takes some effort and there are many tools that automate this process so that you can spend more time on the fun parts like spending time with loved ones and cashing checks or whatever you like to do, I would go into more detail about these automated software’s and services but then i might as well write an ebook which I think i might.

So that wasn’t so hard find a keyword, put it in all the important places, then get other websites to point at you with that keyword it’s that easy. I hope you enjoyed this if you know something I don’t or see something that I said that is incorrect please email me I am always learning and if you plan on staying on top you should do the same.
