Important Lesson You Need To Learn About Affiliate Marketing
October 21, 2009 by Stacy42 · 11 Comments
It would be true to state that most people make little to no money with internet marketing. This may be so for a wide range of reasons, but the underlining factor for most resons would be faulty thinking and reasoning.
My advice would be to explore your current situation, determine what are the major problems that you encounter and see if your mindset supports your goals and objectives, or if it sabotages you on each step of the way.
A big mistake that I see new affiliate marketers make is when they get into a new niche market. They either choose the wrong market, with low earning capacity, or they miscalculate the time, effort and money that needs to be invested in order for them to turn a profit.
For example, people sometimes choose a market that doesn’t have many products in demand, where people mostly search for free fixes to their problems. One way to see if a market is profitable is by searching for products in that market and seeing if th product names get any search engine traffic. If they do, then that market is something to consider.
Another point that I would like to make is that you need to choose the right monetization method when entering a niche market. If a lot of people search for actual products, then affiliate links are the way to go. On the other hand, if they are searching for more generic terms, then I would recommend considering Adsense as an alternative.
I could go on for days talking about why people fail at internet affiliate marketing, but I will point out once again that mindset, in my opinion, is the most important thing. Mindset dictates your actions and even your thoughts. They are what determine how successful you’ll be in the end.

How to buy Website Marketing Services
September 14, 2009 by Stacy42 · 2 Comments
Internet marketing is about utility. It’s not enough to build a pretty website; you must also build one that’s engaging and easy to use. Internet Marketingand geo marketing places an emphasis on marketing that appeals to a specific behaviour or interest, rather than reaching out to a broadly-defined demographic. Marketers have the luxury of targeting by activity and geolocation . Website Marketing is vital to your online website. It can be the answer to getting some sales. Internet marketing advertising has never been better! Internet marketing is hard, technical, detailed work, but we offer everything you need to succeed. Website Advertising resource, online marketing resource, and promotion tools. Web promotion and traffic tools.
Search Engine rankings are just the result of modifying web pages. The difference between Winners and losers is very subtle. Search engines decide this based on extensive user studies so you’re really benefiting your visitor by having this done for your site. This is more complicated than most local designers or IT guys think and the information on the web is often outdated – even 1 year ago could be outdated, and there is so much speculation as to what actually matters. Search engines love social bookmarking sites so I am taking advantage on them. Search engines rank website’s based on a couple major factors: Unique content, keywords in the body, keyword density, website structure and link popularity (the number of quality incoming links to your website). Other important algorithm factors that determine your placement with search engine results is the architecture of the site, visibility of your content, underlying code and how natural your site appears to the engines.
Website submission services can be very beneficial for promotion. If you have a webpage or online business, it is key that you get the online promotion you need to bring the visitors to your site. Website analytics combined with traffic report statistics define client’s increased ROI, ROAS & profitability. Web design is very easy now thanks to many companies that are now offering templates of web pages that are ready to use. Ready made banners, advertisements, music and animation can all be added to your web page too. Website marketing is as equally important as website design itself. But, what good is an innovative, well-designed website if people don’t even know it exists? Web sites that had higher PageRank would have an advantage and would in most cases rank higher than similar pages that were not as popular.
Numis Network – Business Opportunity
September 12, 2009 by Stacy42 · 2 Comments
Why did I choose to get involved with Numis Network?
It is a great question and one that everyone will ask themselves. I had never been involved, nor did I think I ever would get involved, with a network marketing company otherwise known as MLM (Multilevel Marketing). It conjured up horrible images of Amway reps hounding all their friends and family to buy stuff from them. But, I have never known an Amway rep, nor do I know anything about the company, so it is not fair to critique them in this manner, but for some reason these are the images that popped into my mind and I’m sure they are the same thoughts that may run through yours.
So the reason I decided to get involved with this company comes down to opportunity!
I think I am at the right place at the right time to get involved with a company that only started their business 6 weeks ago. With that being said, the owners are not new to this game, in fact, they are industry veterans with over 40 years experience in starting and running successful network marketing companies.
For me, it was about ease of use with a complete turn key set up. I did not want to have to buy a website or set up any merchant accounts. I wanted a complete solution, whereby I could focus on the internet marketing portion of my business plan. Anyways, a friend of mine introduced me to Numis Network which is basically buying and selling collectible silver and gold coins through network marketing. The owners who started the company are all successful business owners from Tampa with backgrounds in internet marketing, MLM marketing and the (HSN) home shopping network. – you can read their bios on my website www.numisnetwork.com/jwotsch. This is a ground floor opportunity with little up front cost ($299) which included my website, tracking software, training and national marketing support along with your first “2009 MS 70 ANACS Silver American Eagle” which is valued on the internet at $125 – $299.
This company has created a turn-key web solution and the product is selling numismatic coins through your MLM network or over the internet. Coins are all ANACS certified coins that you get to keep, so there is actual real long-term value in the product that I am buying and selling. Payouts are very lucrative and I can work as little or as much as I want. I was really excited when I got introduced to the opportunity because one of our friends who just got in 5 weeks ago has only signed up 6 of his friends, but already has 235 people underneath him and he is getting paid on everyone that continues to join the network.
There are only 1,500 people signed up so far and the company is doing a national launch on Aug. 15th. One of the guys (Mike Mezack) involved with Numis Network is on the Home Shopping Network and responsible for selling over $1billion in coins. This is the first time ever that numismatic coins will be sold through a network marketing approach so getting in on the ground floor was a huge selling point for me since I will continue to get paid out on everyone beneath me – indefinitely. The websites are completely hands off as the software tracks everything for me, but I have total control of the back-end software to monitor my network base and all my commissions.
Here is a video with one of the founders talking about the opportunity.

The Ethics Of Keeping A Secret
August 5, 2009 by Stacy42 · 6 Comments
Most people don’t know how to keep a secret, but how many honestly value the true integrity behind staying true to their word? It becomes a serious matter of the level of values that a person holds. If someone’s values are not aligned with the secret bestowed on them, then they are most likely going to dishonor the promise of keeping it quiet. Trust it to a friend and next thing you can download the secret online or maybe it is being marketed to the world online. Maybe be a little bit more careful who you share that precious information with next time or you never know where it will end up.
Perfect Online Vision
It’s hard to have 20/20 vision all the time and understand the real value of something that is trusted to you. What is currently your most valued secret could be somebody else’s loose lips. It is extremely hard to value something that you didn’t have to work for first time around. Maybe you won’t feel the consequences if any damage is done. One day you could realize that perfect vision is something that we all have but we need to discover our own little secrets first. And that is our very own secret ability to keep true to others with understanding and integrity.
Australian Online Marketing
Online marketing is an area that doesn’t have many well kept secrets. It is all published somewhere online. It has been shared and shared to death. Australian Internet Marketing is growing rapidly and gaining speed to catch up with their American counterparts. Although the best secrets are kept under wraps, mainly all the tricks are in the marketing itself. Of course, marketing the selling strategies is always going to be the big ticket item online. But the real secret behind their marketing is keeping the information close to their chest. Even when it isn’t much of a strategy at all!
Make sure when you are given a precious secret to keep, that you seriously consider the real value behind it and truly honor the trust bestowed on you. Treat it like you never had it in the first place and then you wont have a problem with getting into trouble for sharing other people’s confidential information.
Profiting Online From a Few Simple Strategies
One of the simplest and most overlooked aspects of online marketing is that it’s not complicated. Or more to the point,, there are a lot of “experts” who try to make it complicated. Aside from whatever motivation they might have to do that online profits occur from one simple equation –
Traffic + Conversion = Sales
– performed over & over again
There are MANY ways to get traffic (visitors) to your site and cause them to take some action or “convert,” which will either result in more leads or (less frequently) result directly in more sales to your business.
So here’s the other simple rule — you only need to master 1 or 2 traffic methods and 1 or 2 conversion methods, and you will make money. When you drive you only need to know two pedals, and you don’t need to know EVERYTHING about internet marketing in order to add revenue to your business.
With that in mind, there are a few basic traffic techniques I’ve implemented in some of my sites and client sites that have universally and consistently WORKED. Here are a few of those methods — but remember, you only need to pick one or two:
Traffic Generation
1) Twitter is a highly effective means of targeting your niche and developing the conversation with your customers and prospects. In fact, it is second to none. However, most businesses don’t know how to use Twitter effectively. They spam with “sales tweets” — “Look at the cool new thing I’m selling.” The 80/20 rule is highly effective — 80% of your tweets should be about something interesting, funny or otherwise engaging… a question of the day like “What’s for lunch?”… anything to get people talking, laughing, thinking… Also, keep it consistent and be generous with re-tweets. A few tweets a day go a long way toward establishing a rabid list of followers. The wrong thing to do is to Tweet like a madman for a day or two and then disappear for a month. Or worse, don’t reply when someone direct messages you or @messages you. That’s like ignoring someone at a dinner party when they ask you to pass the gravy. You WON’T get any dessert.
2) Video marketing is a very fast way to rank your site and get lots of inbound traffic. Keep your videos consistent — don’t show up one day in a baseball cap and dark lighting, talking about the rain, and another day bouncing in a jungle gym screaming about business leads. Consistent message, consistent tone, consistent look & feel. Also, be sure to put a call to action in your video’s description, as well as the full URL of your website’s landing page, and use appropriate keywords.
3) Article marketing is an evergreen method for outstanding traffic generation, with one HUGE caveat — mix it up! Putting the same article on 400 article directories will get you nowhere fast. You will get a bump in traffic from all the inbound links until Google figures out they’re all the same article and basically count it as one link. There are content spinners out there that alter the content of your articles automatically, but you have to be very careful here as well. Most content spinners change a word or two to replace it with a synonym, or they mash up the article randomly so the output is basically junk that cannot be read. It has to pass human review. So if you’re looking for a quality content spinner, ideally you want to be able to change the entire sentence many times throughout the article, and then have it spin those into hundreds of different articles. That’s the professional way to do it. At the bottom of your article, have a call to action in the information field; a blurb about you (the author) and a link to a free guide the reader can pick up at your website.
Conversion
1) Keep it simple. The landing page has to do ONE thing — get people to ACT. For this reason, it’s been called a SINGLE ACTION PAGE. Pear it down to the bare essence of what you need the visitor to do. Consider placing a video on the page with a very simple message, “Hey thanks for stopping by for my free whizbang. Just type in your first name and e-mail address and I will rush it right over to you. In just a moment after you send your information, you’ll get an e-mail with a confirmation link. Click that link and I will instantly send your free whizbang.”
2) Direct, direct, direct. Notice the video script in #1 above — see how we instructed the user on exactly what they need to do? And then we told them what to expect next, and what they would then need to do. And we closed with a reminder of the benefit — the free whizbang.
If you have trademarked the term “whizbang,” then I apologize in advance. ![]()
3) Test, test, test. ALWAYS have two versions of your landing page operating at one time. You can optimize your landing page using freely available Google tools in the Web Optimizer toolbox. You really can’t go on “gut” here — the data will be you every single time. Even on PPC ads, we have literally seen the addition of a question mark in the ad increase conversion by 16.8% So test, test, test.
Conclusion
These methods work on any business in any industry. Here is some social proof –
Local landscape designer increased her traffic by 7,342% (yes seven thousand percent)
- Local artist went from three visitors a day to an average of 41 visitors a day
- International digital publisher had zero e-commerce and started converting 16% of all traffic to revenue within 72 hours of implementing one traffic strategy and one conversion strategy
- Changing a landing page to a simple design on an e-book site turned conversion from an anemic two sales per week to eight sales a day — on the same traffic.
I hope this helps your business. The average business fails to do what it takes to drive traffic or achieve conversions to their website. While they exercise 20-30 traffic methods on average, they don’t do a single one effectively. There are many sources online to learn about effective marketing strategies, including free resources and some almost-free, like the definitive guidebook 750 Ways to Get a Visitor to Click on You.
Do-it-for-you solutions are also available; experience guides the appropriate strategy for the website and market. The biggest challenge business owners face is knowing which strategy to implement. Experimentation can be very costly in terms of time and lost sales… The key is to find a reputable marketing firm that offers a full range of customized services as well as downloadable products and courses to assist every website owner at every budget level.

Internet Marketing Tools
April 9, 2009 by Stacy42 · 2 Comments
The huge number of Internet marketing tools often scares the aspirants to developing a business online. Lots of people who take up an Internet business don’t have the experience and knowledge necessary to cover the technical details of web support, and therefore they have to invest in consultancy, strategies and tools in order to achieve a good return on investment, well-targeted visitors and quality traffic. In order to understand the way Internet marketing tools work, a plan of the online marketing campaigns is necessary. The purpose of the campaigns is more than obvious but the procedure that attracts more customers takes a lot of time and work to implement.
Some Internet marketing tools are available free of charge, while others can be downloaded after paying a fee. Consider for instance the Google Website Optimizer, a software that improves the search engine performance and the ranking of the pages. Such a tool enhances the results provided by programs that analyze the visitor access to the webs site, thus making possible a statistical monitoring of the results. This kind of Internet marketing tools are available in more or less costly formats.
Other Internet marketing tools allow better management and higher optimization possibilities for the promotion campaigns launched on the search engines. Without such analytic items, the analysis of all the data concerning the market response to one action or another could not be possible given the huge amount of information. Priorities will be spotted out much more easily not to mention that the creation of new plans of actions is seriously increased by the use of the appropriate Internet marketing tools. Whether it’s about advanced searches or the determination of the most suitable keywords, web site maintenance and promotion are more complex than you’ve ever imagined.
When choosing Internet marketing tools consider asking for professional assistance, as you may often get to pay for a software or tool that is available for free with other service providers. Therefore, contracting a web site consultancy agency to cover all the marketing issues related to the business promotion online is a wise investment. Unfortunately, people who imagine that they can discover the Internet marketing tools while expanding their business are more prone to losing their investment and ruining the business opportunities than those who accept their limits and start from the premise that they need professional help to keep the business profitable.
