4 Ways to Boost Your Profits By Building A Huge Email List

July 25th, 2008
by Daniel Hatcher

The value of a large opt-in list is usually grossly understated. It is never good enough to simply be making sales from your affiliate products. Failing to compile a fresh mailing list will result in lack luster or stagnant sales.

Having a list allows you to keep in touch with your site’s visitors and slowly build a relationship with them. If done properly, you can then convert a high percentage of otherwise lukewarm prospects into paying customers. So exactly what does it take to build a great opt-in list quickly and easily? Here are some useful tactics:

* Offer incentives when possible for people to leave their name and email address. Having an incentive program is an effective way to get people to opt into your list. Offering a special report or free e-book is a very effective and easy to implement. To get the best results, it is always helpful to give them something for signing into your list. This tip alone can easily double the number of sign ups you have.

Many people try to accomplish their list building without offering any kind of incentive for signing up which can be a huge mistake. Finding quality incentives is so easy it only makes sense to offer one.

* Include a privacy policy. One of the main reasons people do not opt-in is because they are afraid they will be spammed. This has been a major problem on the Internet for years. Everyone abhors spam. If a prospect has any reason to suspect that you will sell their email address to others they will simply not sign in. Give them a guarantee that you will not share their email address with anyone whatsoever. This will end the worries of people who are concerned about that. After I added one I saw over a 60% increase in the number of sign-ups I was receiving. It’s amazing that a simple thing like this can make that much difference.

* Create multiple, tightly targeted lists. Very few comprehend the power of this tactic. By offering multiple lists on one site you drastically increase the chances of people finding something that interests them enough to sign up for. One of the lists could be for general updates, another could include tips your market would find useful, while another could be a monthly newsletter. No matter which option they choose you get their email address.

Think about things that your market might be most interested in and offer that information on that topic or, at a minimum, access to it on your site. If you do not provided several options that person would have signed up for nothing. Two or three options are plenty.

* Make all your lists double opt-in. Double opt-in allows people to first sign up on your site, and then activate their subscription via a confirmation email. There are plenty of good reasons to have the double opt-in format. Number one, it will take away any chance of being labeled a spammer and secondly, you can show proof that people actually did request your emails.

Also, a double opt-in list will generally have higher quality readers, rather than those from a singe opt-in list. The reason for this is because since these subscribers are interested in your messages enough to reply to the confirmation email, they are much more serious about what you offer. Therefore, they will be more responsive to what you have to offer when compared to those who half-heartedly sign up for your list without a lot of interest. Having a high quality list is absolutely critical to making substantial sales.

By putting the above tips into use you will be able to build a massive, high quality list in the shortest amount of time possible. I have personally tested all of these methods and they work marvelously. They will work for you too.

Unique Article Wizard Review - Article Marketer

Unique Article Wizard Review

This weeks review in on an article submitter called Unique Article Wizard. UAW is a submitter that is a web based application. At first use the site is very user friendly. Someone with minimal computer skill and knowledge and easily navigate through the site and accomplish the required tasks needed to submit articles.

The unique feature of this article submitter wizard is that it will take an article that you write and turn it into hundreds if not thousands of unique articles. I know it sounds too good to be true, so let me explain how it works. First you write your article. Then you load it into the website. The more paragraphs the better, the system suggests 8 paragraphs.

Once you have the article loaded. The wizard will walk you through rewriting each paragraph 2 times. This gives you 3 different versions of each paragraph. This is how they create all the unique articles form just one. It mixes each of the different versions of each paragraph together to give you the same story but presented many different ways. It really works amazingly well. The new article versions still read very well and do not have a persona of being auto generated.

After rewriting all of the paragraphs you can add multiple reference boxes to each article. You can include back links with keyword anchor text to help your site achieve higher page rankings.

Once all the versions are created UAW takes and automatically submits these articles all over the web for you. To thousands of article sites. This entire process is hands off. You can choose to submit to all of them at once or to just a few a day, it’s up to you. The end result is tons of articles submitted all over the web.

When this review was written, I had 3 days prior written an article on Global Resorts Network vs EDC Gold and Carbon Copy Pro. Just 3 days later I held the number 1 spot on Google for the search term. “Global Resorts Network vs Carbon Copy Pro”. I would say it works very well.

I Hate Writing Articles - Isn’t There An Easier Way?

July 24th, 2008
by Ginger Coleen

Owning and maintaining an internet business requires that you have fresh content articles on a regular basis — preferably daily. Articles quench the thirst for information and knowledge that lures your prospects to your site.

But, what are you to do if you don’t want to write or simply don’t know how?

First of all, if you just don’t like writing and you don’t want to hire someone to write for you, you can get a lot of free articles online. One place to look is at public domain articles. Copyright infringement is not an issue with public domain articles.

Public domain writings are simply expired copyrights. When a work is originally copyrighted, the copyright only lasts for a specified period of time. If the copyright isn’t extended, usually when an author dies, then it simply expires. Then the writing is placed in the public domain. These are articles or writings that were once published works and so the English and grammar should be very good. You may need to check copyright laws in the country in which you reside for more information.

The flipside of using public domain articles is that your competition may also be using them. But you should be able to verify this easily enough in the search engines. You may have to edit them a little in order to put your keywords and phrases in appropriately. Additionally, be sure that they pertain to your niche topic.

You can also let other websites with similar content submit articles and post them on your site. Many bloggers today do what is known as “utility posting” in which they post an intro to a post on another site and link to it. They are using content from other blogs to fill their content needs and linking to the other blog.

Now, some people might think WAIT A MINUTE - I don’t want to put links to other sites on my site! But, if that’s what you’re thinking, you’re a bit behind the times, I’m afraid. If you’ve ever heard the term Web 2.0 that’s really what it’s all about. Even Google knows this and is now serving up pages with the most popularity based on the number of links to and from a site and, of course, a lot of other things too. But social populariaty is REALLY important!!!

So, start sharing as much as you can and forget about keeping all the links to yourself.

But, here’s the gold nugget in all of this and why I’m writing to you today. There are also a lot of article sharing services popping up online. I recently joined one and not only do they send my “unique” articles to about 700 sites each time I submit one, but I also subscribe to the service and get as many unique articles each day as I need. And, you don’t have to write articles if you only want to receive articles.

It’s not expensive and well worth the small monthly fee for the number of links I’m seeing in Google on a daily basis. It’s absolutely the greatest method Im aware of to help share links and obtain unique content regularly. It’s very easy to post to all of my blog sites now. I choose how many articles to receive each day as well as the categories, and, I choose whether or not to put them on my blog. After all, not everyone can write good content! Cruddy writing gets deleted.

And, one more thing I would also like to point out. There are many sites on the Internet that offer Private Label Rights Articles that can published on your site. Some of them are free or have free starter memberships. You can also take credit for writing these articles yourself. If you like, you can rewrite them too. That’s how I wrote this article. I’m pretty good at writing, but the ideas don’t always come quickly. When I start with a PLR article, the ideas flow easier and I don’t have to create all of the original content.

Using Article Directories To Increase Traffic To Your Website

July 24th, 2008
by James Conner

There is a lot of information on the internet with much of it being archived in text form. As the search engines are looking for sites with good content, what matters to them is text. If your site is light on the text side, it likely will not earn a high ranking amongst other sites of the same subject. Equally, if your site is abundant in textual content, but it’s just thrown together, you will probably suffer in the rankings, also.

This is where private label articles come into the picture. PLA’s are groups of articles consisting of wide categories which you can purchase from someone who wholesales articles. Quite often, you have a choice of either buying a monthly subscription and having large amounts of these articles emailed to you, or you are provided a link where you can go to download the articles, usually in zip format. You can also do a one-off purchase of groups of articles.

Usually, the articles you will receive are made search engine friendly with relevant keywords and arranged well. The articles will have been written using proper grammar, corret spelling, and very focused on the subject matter at hand. Mainly, the articles are yours to do with as you want to. You have purchased complete rights to use the articles. You are allowed to add or remove content and put your name to them as the writer.

Following the picking of the ideal keywords for your website, and method of sales- you can spread the private label articles throughout your website. If you use well-chosen keywords in the right places, your pages will climb high in the search engines.

Would You Like to Use Free Articles?

Most article directories allow you to download as much content for use on your website as you’d like. The only thing that is required of you is that you keep the resource box including the author’s website link and other information completely intact.

These articles are free for your use, atleast monetarily, but they will cost you in other ways. You may lose prestige, sales and customers. Just a couple of these articles, especially if you use articles from subject matter experts everything should be alright. If you pack your site with nothing but free articles, you are sending the wrong message. Particularly you are sending the message to your customers that you aren’t very knowledgeable in the subject to write your own articles.

You are also providing all who visit your website a fast way out and onto your competitor’s website. They only need to click that link in the resource box to go onto the author’s website. If the article is written well enough to garner your attention, it most likely will capture the attention of your customer as well. It’s likely that they will go on to search for that same author.

Those author’s resources boxes sometimes steal your sales and along with them, your customers. You won’t even know it’s happening.

Improving Your Rankings In The Search Engines Using Other Things

Using the article directory method combined with the private label articles should increase your ranking in the search engines. This is the way that others use. The vast majority of articles which are submitted to article directories will be accepted if they are written competently by those who have followed the guidelines of the article directories. Make sure to give the private label articles that you have written under your own name- including your resource box, to the article directories also.

The first thing this does is set up another link to your website from the article directory. Every time someone links to your website, your ranking goes up just a little bit. This works especially well if the link includes your chosen keywords as well. Since the resource box is yours to set up, you can ensure that the keywords used are exactly what you want.

Muscle Building Supplements Help Build Muscle

July 23rd, 2008

Serious bodybuilders know that males at least 18 years old can build muscle using prohormones. These are legal steroids and an important part of a bodybuilder’s bodybuilding supplement regimen.

The fact is muscles enlarge when you’re resting not while exercising. Body building supplements exploit this natural process of muscle building. Vitamins generally improve the ability of protein to do their job as they build muscle, burn fat, and produce energy. Minerals also aid in the creation of energy and in bone and muscle building.

The Truth About EDC Gold

July 23rd, 2008
by Joe Marquez

If you’ve recently come across the EDC business opportunity and you’re looking for some facts, I’d like to briefly review the business and maybe point out some things you may have overlooked or simply didn’t notice.

Let’s start at the beginning. EDC is a direct sales company whose products consist of numerous eBooks and computer software. They claim that these products have a value of more than $100,000, and they serve as EDC’s “back bone”. As a business owner, most of your success has little to do with these products. You can’t really find a use for all of them, and most of the products are outdated and irrelevant to today’s market.

The reality is that most of the monies earned with EDC are from getting others to join the business. Your main job will simply be RESELLING THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. Almost nobody in EDC is making big money from selling the “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of software. Not that it isn’t possible, that’s just how things work. That’s the reason why EDC’s sales page does a GREAT job of painting a “you can be rich too” picture. There’s very little focus on promoting the products. Instead they promote the business and when you break it down, that’s what you will be doing as well.

The real money is in learning to market online, and truly knowing how to use the internet to your advantage. I’d like to switch gears for a moment and talk about a different opportunity that holds the same principles as EDC but focuses on EDUCATION, not hype. It’s called the wealth funnel system, and it offers the very same opportunity for a substantial income, but the actual “product” is MUCH more valuable. The wealth funnel system offers only 7 different streams of income, with the first being focused on teaching members how to PROPERLY market online. If you know how to use the internet like the professionals do, your success is guaranteed no matter what you’re selling. The fortune is in the skill set.

Before assuming you’re going to make all of this money and starting to think of all the things you’re gonna buy, take a step back to think logically. If your plan is financial freedom, this EDC thing is going to have to last for the next 20, 30, maybe 50 years. Will the products be of any value by that time? Can EDC adapt to the changes that are to come in the future? What’s going to happen over time. If you can learn to market online, it’s as easy as going on to the next opportunity, or maybe even coming up with your own product to sell. The Wealth Funnel System can help you with that.

Follow my links for more information about the Wealth Funnel System by Derrick Harper. I hope this article is of some type of value to you in your search for the right home based business, and more importantly your financial freedom.

I wish you the best success no matter what you choose, Joe Marquez

Effective Affiliate Marketing Tips

July 23rd, 2008
by Bruce Hoover

There are no great secrets to affiliate marketing, just create a website for each product you are promoting. Affiliate marketers can join numerous programs and sell other companies products to earn money every day. Many successful people just use a single page site to create the interest needed for the visitor to click on their link. This type of internet business attracts beginners and experienced marketers because you do not even need your own product to promote.

At this point you my not have a good idea what it is you want to sell but this is not as difficult as it seems. You should not be in a rush at this point because you will need to spend time reading and understand the terms and conditions of the company you want to sell products for. Misunderstandings amongst affiliates are common so do not be one of them as it will affect your earning potential. It is not uncommon for there to be restrictions where you can be located to get paid and there have been instances where people have been accepted to programs and not been paid because they do not live in an approved location.

Most affiliate programs pay well but it does depend on their prices to start with; fifty percent is the norm but if you decide to become an Amazon.com affiliate, expect around 5-10 percent (this is worth checking regularly). The most common place to find information on affiliate marketing and products to sell is Clickbank.com There generally is no need to pay for membership of any affiliate program, be very careful of companies that ask for an up front fee. Although you can find programs almost anywhere you look, those that use Paypal or Clickbank for their payments are he best to use and registering with both does not cost anything. There will be time later to use other payment gateways once you have established your affiliate marketing empire.

When you are new at marketing affiliate products there is a great deal to learn, but take heart as there are a huge number of free resources, ebooks and websites, to help just do not try to take in too much at once. Although some free ebooks contain affiliate links so the author is paid for his work, you do not have to click on these if you do not want to. It is easy to start using the free techniques first in the early days and then stat paying for worthwhile programs etc. when you are making some money. This use of free products works well because it is a way for you to see whether the person who supplied them knows what they are doing.

In Closing

Remember that affiliate marketing does not have to rely only on online advertising methods, others exist. The purpose behind this is to direct traffic to your website where a certain percentage of people will place an order. To find out where your affiliate marketing efforts are best spent you will need to track where the traffic to your site is coming from and stick to those methods. There is a huge amount of freedom associated with affiliate marketing and the potential earnings are massive, but this can take many years to build up. Do not spend too much time learning about this because some people become permanent learners, never actually doing anything to ear money.

Marketing Services for the Internet

July 23rd, 2008
by Gary Terrazas

In order for an Internet business to be successful, first-rate Internet marketing activities need to be drawn-up and implemented.

It can be quite a challenge to find quality Internet marketing services or Internet marketing affiliate programmes. The reason being that there are a multitude of good Internet marketing affiliate programmes as well as many bad ones.

To help you choose the best company to provide you with Internet marketing services, it is best to identify what is a bad and what is a good Internet marketing service programme.

Having the ability of immediately being in the position to identify whether an Internet marketing company you’ve approached is in fact legitimate or simply out to make a buck will be of immense value to you.

A useful online marketing program is known as affiliate marketing. The first thing you should know is that any good Internet marketing service affiliate program will not charge you for membership or for services not rendered. So beware of any Internet marketing affiliate program that asks you for any money upfront to become a member of their specific program.

Search engine marketing opportunities are another valuable tool that you can avail yourself of. Based on your target market it requires that you optimise your website specifically for the most popular search engines. I.e. Google and Yahoo. Although, whichever search engine you decide upon, ensure that they reach your particular target market.

By understanding how the individual search engines operate, you will have a better idea of what search engine techniques will effectively raise your ranking and which techniques are mediocre at best.

PPC is an Internet marketing medium that can also be used for greater exposure. Contact a search engine to work with them on a paid per click programme or otherwise find a website with high traffic and advertise with them.

Be aware that you don’t unnecessarily place your advert on high traffic websites, but that the traffic is of no relevance to your business. For example, it may not be wise to place an advert for flowers on an industrial metals website.

If you decide to use the services of an Internet marketing company or consultant take care to pick the best. Take time to make adequate research into their pedigree and history. Look at past projects they have done. Ask them for their resume, ask if they have existed under any other name in the past and research that too.

It is a good idea to ascertain an Internet marketing firm’s abilities before employing them. Do this by asking them to describe how they intend to help your business grow. A good company is pleased to provide you with all the information you request, a bad company not.

Choose the best from the many Internet marketing companies available to ensure that your business is successful.
