Having a website is very important. Using the online technology available to us can really boost your website statistics. The better your website statistics, the money money you should be making with your website.

Don’t use technology for bad business practices. There is a lot of technology out there to use for your advantage. Don’t over do it. Some companies go as far as; using a computer program to profile guests. If a guest is good or bad. This way the company will know who they are dealing with up front. In my opinion, this is taking technology a bit too far.

As I have said before, use mobile technology. Especially if you don’t have the time to spend in front of your computer all day. Most business people can’t afford to be at the office all day. Their job requires them to always be on the run. Some people work two or more jobs. You need to have a mobile device, whether it be laptop, PDA, cell phone or whatever you are comfortable with using. You will be able to send and receive email, faxes, files, and important messages. There should be no excuse for you telling a customer you need to get back to the office and you get back to them. Although, even I have done this recently. We have to break the bad habit of not being mobile. Today’s technology thrives on our businesses being mobile.

Use web 2.0, it’s very beneficial. Use social media networks to improve your businesses database of customers. Myspace, facebook, delicious, digg, so many more social networks to make you and your business well known. You can post comments, messages, vidoes, and blogs. Web 2.0 is all about making friends. You make friends and your friends trust you more. Then they are more likely to buy your products or service. People tend to buy from who they trust. Then it’s all about word of mouth through the social community. It works great!

Make sure you have an easily navigated website. Don’t use anything on your website that will contradict what you are selling. Make sure all the information; including ad space is something you would use and recommend. Make sure you have good, quality content on your website. You need to have something to draw people in. Try and offer them a reason to visit your website.

A blog about you and your business will really help shape your business. A blog can make your page rank higher. A Blog will also be more likely to raise your rank in search engines. Search engines find new content. So the more you blog, the more likely people will find your website. Create a newsletter you send out by email. Your customer base will be more likely to return if you have a newsletter.

Spend money on technology to upgrade, not waste. You spend money on all kinds of important things to keep your business going. Don’t upgrade with technology only when it is necessary. Upgrade with technology whenever you can. A business just starting out should be overwhelmed with technology. People seem to have the attitude that they don’t need anything new. The truth is, everyday new products come out to make our lives easier.

When you spend money on your business, don’t think of it as losing money. Every bit of money you spend on new technology is money well spent. The more technology your business has, the faster it will grow. The more likely your business will succeed and keep up with the competition. When McDonald’s came out with the Happy Meal; Burger King didn’t sit around twiddling their thumbs, they invented the kids meal.

Be smart about where you spend your money. Some technology is an obvious ripoff. Spend your money on technology that will help you in the future as well as right now. Technology is here to save us money and time. Don’t overwork yourself. Work Smarter, Not Harder. You can get more work accomplished thanks to technology. Most businesses can more than double the workload because of technological gadgets.

One of the reasons I love the business model I teach is because it effortlessly PULLS clients to me. I never have to chase them or worry about having as full a roaster as I want. The first step in making this happen is creating what I call your CFO - Compelling Free Offer. The problem is that very few solo-preneurs actually utilize this simple method of attracting all the clients they want.

Your Compelling F.r.e.e. Offer (CFO) is what entices people to want to find out more about you and what it is that you\’re offering. When you make your complimentary offer compelling enough, more people will be interested in taking advantage of it, which increase the audience to which you can then market to.

Your CFO can be packaged in a variety of ways: a mini e-course, a checklist, a CD, an audio download, a special report, a free teleseminar, etc. I offer a few different CFOs - a mini ecourse, an audio download, and for joint ventures I offer one of my paid products for free as a bonus to their paid offering.

The content of your CFO should be broad in scope, yet address a particular problem your target market is struggling with, something that they\’d pay to have a solution to. That\’s what makes your offer compelling in the first place, and it\’s what attracts them into your Marketing & Product Funnel. Your CFO should be loaded with valuable content, so much so that you leave your prospect thinking, “wow, if this is what he/she gives away, imagine what his/her paid stuff must be like!”

To lead them further down your funnel, you\’ll want to be sure to not give away the store in your CFO, but share what the problem is, what your solution to the problem is, giving them a taste of how you can solve it for them. But what\’s key to making your CFO successful is to not just give great content, but to leave them with wanted more. The \’more\’ comes by way of your paid products and services.

The results of having a CFO are three-fold: you build your credibility and become known as an expert in your niche, your word-of-mouth marketing catches fire, and you\’re approached to share your CFO with even more people through joint ventures and strategic partnerships.

The mistake I made when I first started my consulting business was trying to pitch my services to people who didn\’t even know me (I cringed when I remember all those wasted early morning networking breakfasts). We all know that it\’s much easier to get business by referral, right? Because the person referring you has a relationship with you, and they have come to know, like and trust you well enough to pass your name along to their friends and colleagues.

That\’s what this method of marketing does for you. Your CFO is the start of building that critical know, like and trust factor with your prospects so that when they are ready to invest some money in a solution to their problem - whether via a product or service - your name is at the top of the list.

And the best part? You NEVER have to sell them on what you\’re offering. It\’s brilliant, really.

So, start researching what it is that your target market wants most, what problem is keeping them up at night. Then create your solution and offer it to them as your CFO. to get them into your Marketing & Product Funnel. It\’s a winning formula every time!

Online business is operated so differently from brick and mortar businesses in some ways, but customers tend to respond the same no matter where they are shopping. Everyone should understand the customers mentality because everyone has been a consumer at least a few times in just the past couple of days.

Product that appeals to the masses may seem like your safest bet in making big sales. Though it sounds like a fool proof plan, it is flawed in so many ways. In today\’s day and age not many people have time to buy something, we\’ll say software, that was developed for the masses. Then sit around for hours sifting through all of the information that does not apply to them. It wastes time and frustrates the buyer.

The generic product is the Vanilla Wafer of merchandise. No matter who you know, how old they may be, or where they are from, everyone will eat a Vanilla Wafer. Is it their favorite cookie ever? Most likely not. If you could choose between a Vanilla Wafer or a triple chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, 99 out or 100 people are going to choose the triple chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. It\’s not because the Vanilla Wafer isn\’t good, but it\’s so generic, there is not much attraction to the cookie, it was made to appeal to the masses. The height of it\’s popularity is in Daycares, and even that position is getting taken over by the animal cracker. Let\’s face it, there just isn\’t anything specialized about the vanilla wafer.

Just like cookies, consumers want specialized product. When people go shopping they want the software that deals with their needs. If are developing a program for authors, make the content relevant to them, do not try and squish in information for bloggers. Be your niche markets triple chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, do not settle for a vanilla wafer existence.

After you have chosen your special market, and zoomed in on the consumer base you will focus on, you then pick a side. Just like the Vanilla Wafer, you will want everyone to like you, but to sale you have to have a bit of controversy. You will need to let it be known why things should be done the way you are selling it. You cannot agree with your 10 competitors, and expect people to buy your product. If you are going to blend in with the other \’boxes of cookies\’ don\’t expect the client to choose your box. Your product needs to have a bias. Controversy sells, and that is your ultimate goal. By having your own point of view on what is the best product, and how to use it, means some people will love your product, and they will tell their friends about it.

Others will absolutely hate your product and they will tell their friends. This may sound bad, but that is not so. Their friends may have different needs than the haters, they may think your product a perfect fit for them. The fact is, your product is getting spread by word of mouth and that is the best advertisement you can have. Your product will be the triple chocolate chip cookie of the online marketing business.

Keep in mind that the Vanilla Wafer never started a controversy, it is not sold in the specialty cookie stores, nor is it served at special dinners. Though generic has an appealing safety net ring to it, does not make it the best. Be the gourmet of your chosen niche product. Make peoples mouths water when they see your product, the perfect unique fit for their needs.

1. When Starting Anything New - Start With A Small Investment.

There\’s always the risk of losing money. Even top level copywriters don\’t have winning ads every time. Sometimes just a simple change, a word or two, makes all the difference to get the results you want. Your marketing audience is not perfect so there is no such thing as a perfect ad. That\’s why it\’s prudent to limit your risk when starting any new marketing campaign.

2. Test, Test, Test!!

Stop blindly following gurus. You are the only expert in your test results. Try different headlines; shorter, longer, different content. Sometimes the length of your ad copy makes a big difference. Test short concise against longer more descriptive ads. Try something besides the written ad like audio or video or all three together. The more ways you can reach a persons mind the better. Test different squeeze pages. For every ad group always run 2 ads on Adwords. Test different offers, like “try before you buy”. You may also want to test telephone follow-up. Just test everything you do!

3. Do Something Different!

Look at everyone and everything in your marketplace. Don\’t be a “business as usual” kind of person. Look for something that makes you unique from the rest. Compare the benefits and services of your product with theirs, cross off all that are the same and see what\’s left. If there\’s nothing left, then you may need to brainstorm with ideas to add to yours to make if better/different for your market.

4. Buyers Only Ads!

Write your ads to your niche audience and not to everyone who visits your site. A 100% buying rate is not achievable! Most of the time a 1% conversion rate is acceptable. Sometimes if you hit a really hot market it can be up to 10%, which is very good. So writing to the 90% who are just lookers is not what you want to do. Even if those 90% don\’t like what you write, it doesn\’t matter, as long as the 1%-10% DO like it and take action.

5. Start At The End!

Not really! But try to have your next offer - your backend offer - ready before your first one is ready. Are you starting with a CD or an ebook? Think about affiliate offers or joint ventures with others as a backend offer. Repeat business and backend sales is where the real money is. If you HAVE to make money from one product, it destroys your marketing ability. How can you compete with a competitor who is breaking even or losing money on his advertising and still make a living with the same offer?

6. Your Net Worth Is Determined By Your Network.

Credit Mark Victor Hansen with this phrase. Some of the keys to your online business are: viral marketing, referrals, social networking, strategic alliances, etc. Most of the time trying to “go it alone” won\’t work. Affiliates make up 50% -75% of sales in most businesses. The keys to SEO are the links coming in from other sites. Form alliances with other top marketers, help them and they will help you. Brainstorm, network, whatever it takes to make contacts.

7. Your Business Is NOT Internet ONLY.

Your business is internet based, but not necessarily only on the internet. When developing your business model, do so for both internet and offline. Phone follow-up is a good idea. Some have increased their profits by 40% just by calling people who have just purchased to thank them and offer them something else at a discount price right away. You can generate leads by renting a targeted list and send postcards (direct mail) to get people to sign up to your list, and also offline publicity and networking works.

8. Educate your lists.

Educate your list members about your products/services and good content. Use direct mail as well as email as follow-up methods. Sending thank you cards to customers and JV partners is a good follow-up method. To meet with your customers/prospects try a teleconference. Try creating a blog. You need to let them get to know you as a person. Put a face with a name.

9. Focus On What YOU Are Good At.

Find what you\’re best at and focus your time and attention on it. There are so many ways to market your site, so concentrate on the ones that fit what you\’re good at. If you don\’t like doing a certain skill, hire it out, it will save you time, money and frustration. You are good at something! You just need to focus on that.

10. Don\’t Expect Overnight Riches.

Focus on your thing. Give it all your attention and watch it grow. If you jump on every “new thing”, you\’re spreading yourself too thin. As with anything, just start! Everything is not going to work, so you\’ve just found one way NOT to do it again. Modify yourself, your thinking, your work until it does work. Plan where you want to be in a year and work backwards from there; where you want to be in 6 month, 3 months, 1 month, 1 week and tomorrow. Do something every day to meet that goal. It\’s hard at first, but it will get easier with each day/goal you attain.

Video is king and it\’s here to stay. Did you know that YouTube just vaulted to number 2 on the Alexa hit parade? Yes, it\’s true. If you\’re an Internet marketer, you need to make a note of this because video isn\’t going to go away any time soon and if you want to be in on the craze and make the most out of your marketing efforts, you might want to pay attention to some of these cool tips. They will make your videos that much more effective.

The first tip is probably the most important. Make sure the quality of your video is as good as you can make it and still make it manageable to work with. YouTube has limits as to how long your video can be and how large it can be. If you go over 10 minutes, your video will be rejected. Also, if you go over 100 meg, your video will also be rejected. By creating your Camtasia video in FLV format instead of AVI or MOV format, this will greatly reduce the size of the finished video. This is also important if you\’re going to upload the video to your own site as bandwidth can get sucked up real fast with large videos.

The second tip is to make sure that your audio source is as clean as possible which means using the best microphones. Camtasia audio has a tendency to be a little scratchy with certain microphones. If you find that your audio quality is less than stellar, you might want to first try recording the audio into Audacity, which is a free program, and then import it into Camtasia. You will find that the quality will be much better if you do this.

The last tip, which is a really cool one, is to use the callout feature in Camtasia to create URLs that the person watching the video can click on. This is done by creating what is called a Flash hot spot and entering in the URL into the hot spot that you want the person to go to. You can either have the URL open in the same window as the video or a different window. This is great for your marketing efforts because this way, the prospect doesn\’t have to write down or remember the URL. He can just go right to the web site from the video itself.

These simple tips will make your Camtasia videos a cut about the competition and ultimately bring you more sales if they\’re marketed correctly.

To YOUR Success,

You don\’t need to publish a website to make money online. If you have your own website and making money I would like to tell you great job. It is a lot of work to have your own product and website to keep up with. The customer service could take you hours a day. All your time should be dedicated to promoting your product or business opportunity.

There are several ways to make money online. A few of them can produce enough money on a monthly basis to live on. You read about it everyday online. I know of one Internet marketer that has produced one million dollars in one hour, and he has did it more than once. I could live off of that kind of money. My point is there is money to be made online and people are doing it more and more everyday with no end.

So back to how to make money without publishing your own website. One of the easiest ways is to become an affiliate with a company like amazon.com. You can find thousands of online businesses that have an affiliate program. Just go to Google and do a search on your niche with the word affiliate for example “Moped affiliate”. Signup as affiliate for the company then start directing traffic to the URL the company gave you to promote. When somebody goes threw your URL address and purchases a product you will make a commission. No website to update, No customer service, just drive traffic and make money.

You could make a free blog and put Google AdSense on it. This will create a few dollars but not much unless you have a lot of traffic. Then on your blog you could also put a lot of affiliate products on it. You could also create a newsletter about your niche and add a opt in form on your blog. This is not much work setting up a blog the real work comes when you test your marketing skills online to direct traffic to that blog.

You could join a business opportunity that gives you a website to promote. Now you have a website with a product to advertise so you can make some money online. There are free businesses online and there are high-ticket business opportunities online that can make you enough money every month to live on. Just remember this, it takes the same amount of time and effort to promote a low cost business or product, as it does to promote a high-ticket business that will put money in your pocket fast.

Whatever route you take to make money online make sure that you do your homework on the business opportunity or product before you signup. The fastest way is on Google type in the business name and product with questions. Look for other people\’s reviews. You will probably find a few bad reviews on some businesses that are a legitimate online business. Most of this is people that are trying to get prospect to look at their business opportunity. Just make sure you don\’t find pages of bad reviews. If you do find a lot of bad reviews it probably is safe to say don\’t join them.

The biggest challenge I have learned over the years is driving traffic to your URL address. This can take a lot of time if you do not know how to leverage your advertising so your marketing keeps bringing you traffic. A few simple skills on Internet marketing are all you need and you can find them all day and night at youtube.com or find yourself a good mentor. The best part about a good mentor is that they have organized a system for you to follow so you can make money online a lot faster.

Creating an online business that is successful is not as easy as many people would have you believe. There are all kinds of programs and promises out there on the Internet today and they all claim to have the secret ingredient to online success. There is an ingredient to success but it isn\’t a magic button that you push or a special SEO tactic. Strategically planning your online business is essential if you want it to be a success.

Everyone is an expert at something. You know about something that the majority of other people on the planet don\’t know that much about. This knowledge makes you an expert and being an expert is the key to online success. If you have an existing product or service that you are looking to sell online, chances are that you know a great deal more about the product that you are selling than the majority of people who may end up as your potential customers.

Many people who begin doing business online will look for information about Internet Marketing in a Search Engine. This opens up a can of worms that if you are not careful can take you straight down the road of Internet failure rather than Internet stardom. You would think that looking for something in a search engine would bring up the most relevant results concerning the topic of interest. Well, maybe that used to be the case, but more and more, with the advent of Social Networking sites, this is no longer the case. Some know it all who actually knows nothing may end up getting the number one position in Google for a couple of days and you as a person who is expecting the Search Engines to bring up the most relevant search results unsuspectfully buy into something that is doomed to failure before it ever got started.

Running a successful business online is just like running a conventional business. You have competition, actually a lot more competition on the Internet. The Internet is different in that content is what drives traffic. This is not the case when you have a traditional store front business. Just as a traditional store front business requires a professional presence, so too does a successful Internet business. The difference is the way that you deliver that professional appeal.

Here is what you need to know before you even get started planning a business online. If you have a business on the internet already and it is failing miserably, forget everything you know because obviously what you know is not working for you. The first fact is that running a business online can be much more effective than any traditional store front business. Instead of opening the doors in the morning to the people who live in your town or city, you are opening the doors and leaving them open 24 hours a day to the entire world. The great thing about the Internet is that once the content is there, it will always be there.

The main difference between a traditional store front and having a business on the Internet is that the Internet usually takes more time. The benefit in having patience is that once you get it up and running, it basically runs on auto-pilot. Remember that there are billions of web pages on the Internet and your website is an insignificant dot on the map when you first put it online. Instead of expecting a flood of traffic, expect that there will not be that much traffic initially.

Instead of sitting around waiting for people to find your website, use the free resources that the Internet provides to let people know that it is there. Where a lot of Internet marketers fail is that they lack focus and direction in their business. They hop from one program to the next looking for that magic button that will give them overnight success. In all reality if they would just spend the time promoting whatever it is that they know by educating people about the benefits of the product or service, they would eventually get the word out about there product; their marketing efforts will become viral in that other people want to share the knowledge that they have because they are considered an expert in their field. Perception is everything when it comes to the Internet. Remember that know it all who actually knows nothing. This happens all of the time because people assume that if someone is at the top and what they say sounds good that they are an expert.

So what is the realistic approach to running a successful online business? Even if you are an affiliate marketer who has no product of your own to sell, you must have a website. I am not talking about a freely hosted website but an actual domain name that is focused on whatever market you are in. this applies to everyone looking to be successful on the internet. There is a false perception that short catchy domain names are better than the long tail keyword type domain names. Let\’s look at this mentality realistically. Chances are that you are not going to build a brand name like Ebay or Amazon.

That being said, your focus must begin with your domain name. If you are selling handbags, make sure handbags is somewhere in the domain name. An example of a long tail keyword domain name would be reallycoolhandbags.com or if that is not available, handbagsforthesophisticatedwoman.com. These domain names are not pretty or catchy, but they are effective and are a base for your online business.

You have to build the foundation before you can build a house. The domain name is the foundation of your online business. This domain name adds relevance to the product that you are selling if you are selling hand bags. The domain name is also one of the key factors in determining search engine position. I would bet that handbags for a sophisticated woman is never searched. I would say that it might have some queries, however probably not many, but lets examine the domain name closer. What about sophisticated handbags or handbags for a woman. I bet those key terms get searched a little more frequently.

After you select a domain name that is relevant to the product that you are selling, it is time to come up with a title for your website. The title is also important to the search engines when determining a sites relevance. I personally would title my site “Handbags for the Sophisticated Woman”. Once again, handbags is the first word in the title, just as it is the first word in the domain name. Just these two steps with related content would probably get your site top ten search results for sophisticated handbags and hand bags for a woman, maybe, but we are only at step two.

After you pick a title for your website you want to build your websites content around the keyword hand bags. If you have an online store selling handbags, include detailed product descriptions in links off of each product page. Have a couple of senetences explaining the product followed by details linked to another page with details about the specific product. This adds even more relevance to the content of your site. Give your site a clean look without a lot of bells and whistles. Remember that if someone has typed handbags into a search engine, chances are they are looking to buy one or atleast think about it seriously. They don\’t want to see a bunch of silly animations or your favorite song playing in the background. Cute is great for MySpace but not so great when it comes to being taken seriously as a legitimate business online.

Another thing to keep in mind is that breaking your site up into categories will always help with the keyword saturation and getting you listed higher for different keywords and phrases. I am not going to break down an SEO strategy here because this is just basic information but if you use your brain, you will be suprised where the thought takes you. blue handbags, suede handbags, leather handbags, and colorful handbags are some examples of possible categores. Then in each category with the product description every once in a while throw in a this suede handbag or this blue handbag, so on and so forth.

After you have your website built, it is time to get the word out. The internet has provided an endless array of possibilities, the best of which are viral marketing methods. Viral marketing starts with you but it is carried and expanded upon by others. One great way to use viral marketing is by submitting useful content to article directories. This helps build your status as an expert, but it also does something else. If you submit good content that educates people then chances are the content will get picked up by other web masters. Now keep in mind that you do not want to advertise your business directly. Instead you want to educate and in doing so advertise indirectly. Most article directories allow you to include a resource box with the content that you submit. If webmasters want to use your content, they must also include your resource box. This builds your page rank by listing links to your site on other sites throughout the Internet. The higher your page rank and the more incoming links you have to your website, the better you will rank for the keywords specific to your business if they are contained within the content of your site.

If you were to spend two hours a day creating quality unique content and submitting it to article directores for an entire year, you would be amazed with the traffic that this effort would bring to your site. Remember, with the Internet, the effort that you put into it now will keep on working for you for the rest of your life.

Another great way to get the word out about your business is by submitting a press release. This provides a news item for the media and believe it or not, but a well written press release can not only build page rank for the long term, but it can drive immediate traffic to your website. i recommend learning everything that you can about writing an effective press release and taking the time to create a good one.

So many people want instant success and this is only a brief example of what you could do to build an effective online business. Today will turn into next week and next week will turn into next year. If you are serious about building a sky is the limit income using the Internet, develop a plan and follow it with focus and determination. Realize that anything worth while takes time and be patient. when you feel like giving up, take a break and come back to it when you are more motivated. It may take you a year to build the firm foundation of a successful online business, but this effort will pay off for a life time.

There are no easy ways but to make money from our blogs these days ways to make money have been simplified so much that anyone who has a blog will be able to insert something into their blogs in hope of making some money.

Internet marketing gurus have propagated that AdSense remains the best and easiest way to make money despite their sometimes low payout. This is because of the sheer size of the AdSense network that allow them to place very relevant Ads to blogs. A blog with a certain kind of traffic and readers will want to click on Ads that are relevant to their interest. This is what made AdSense such a success when compared to other Advertising companies.

Of course, other than AdSense and contextual Ads, other form of money making methods has sprouted up. Affilliate marketing for one is taking off in a big way and affiliate marketers swears that their income far exceeds what they earned from AdSense. The downside of affiliate marketing is you will need to invest in PPC campaigns in order to bring targeted traffic to your affiliate sites. Sometimes these campaigns can result in a loss when visitors don\’t buy or click on anything, but if a campaigned is successful, their returns will be very rewarding.

The latest money making craze is setting up of niche stores. It is also a kind of affiliate marketing only this time a whole store selling specialized products are set up musing a dedicated site, with good keywords as domain names.

These stores individually alone do not make much, but niche store owners goes to great lengths to start at least 20 to 30 stores and total proceeds can be significant. The beauty of these stores is there is almost no maintenance involved once it has been properly set up. It is was niche site owners call “set and forget”.
