Google

There is an ongoing buzz in the Internet Marketing community regarding Google’s new algorithm changes which affected lots of webmasters and bloggers worldwide.

I think this latest development from Google raise the necessity for all of us to Google-proof our online business.  In my honest assessment, Google seems to be moving from being everyone’s favorite search engine into some vindictive unit which changes the rules whenever it feels to. Google is now a monolith not attuned to the real needs and voices of the people it is supposedly serving.

One of the best ways to Google-proof your business is to create products. As usual, when people think of product creation they think of the big guru launches where products are sold for thousands of dollars. Actually, product creation needn’t be like that.

Another misconception is that you need a big list to make your product successful. You don’t. Everyday people like you are making thousands of dollars from small, simple quick to produce products. There is no need to complicate matters. In fact, the simpler your product to understand and follow, the better it has chances of getting accepted by the market.

It may seem a little bit strange but even a free giveaway product that takes a few hours to create can generate thousands of dollars for you.  Best of all it is distancing itself a little bit away from Google.

One of my successful friends Google-proof his business and concentrate on creating and launching products. He moved his business beyond relying on Google for listings, beyond relying on Adsense, beyond relying on commission-based income. If Google shut down tomorrow he does not care because his business is not dependent on it.

It is time to learn to research, create and launch your own products. The time is now to gradually move away from commission-based online marketing techniques to finally have your own product to market. Google proofing your business is something you have think seriously.

(http://success-freeways NULL.info/the-power-called-facebook/facebook-vs-google)Right now, it is very safe to make a guess that all people who know the internet also knows the gigantic social media site called Facebook.

Do you know that people are spending as much as three times in Facebook compared to the current King of the Net called Google? The social media revolution is really upon us and it is creating havoc to platforms not in consonance with it.

With members all over the world, it has more than 500 million active users. And with this huge pool of people, online marketers are now looking at Facebook as a virtual goldmine that could someday even surpass the power of Google.

In summary, here are some interesting and lucrative facts with Facebook:

• Facebook now has over 500 million active users coming from all over the world.

• If Facebook members were grouped like a country, it can be considered to be the 5th largest in the world.

• Users are spending an average of 5 hours, 46 minutes per month on Facebook.

• The average user is connected to around 134 friends.

• All over the site, there are over 900 million objects that people can easily and openly interact with.

• On average, a user is associated to 80 community pages, groups, events, etc.

Facebook is not yet nearing its peak of supremacy. In fact, I would dare to bet that this is only the beginning of Facebook’s unstoppable ascent to the throne soon to be vacated by King G. If you are an online marketer, the time to position yourself to harvest the benefits Facebook can potentially give you is NOW!

Successful Online Marketer

Are you planning to take your own place in online marketing? There is an easy method that you can use as your gateway. I am talking about bum marketing. Now you may be wondering what that is — considering the sound of the term. It’s quite simple actually. Bum marketing is a slight variation of article marketing that doesn’t involve you spending any money to begin with. And as a joke, people say that, “It’s so easy a bum could it!”

Sounds something interesting, right? One thing that’s for sure is that bum marketing can definitely prove to be a good for your bank account. Most people use bum marketing to jumpstart their affiliate product promotion efforts, and for more than most, it works quite well. The method in itself is not complicated, but it does involve a little bit of your time.

The first thing that you want to do is choose a niche, and not one that’s overly saturated with competition. In other words, the less competition, the better for you. Once you’ve decided on a niche, you need to pick an affiliate program that offers a related product with a decent commission payout to promote. Now, comes the hard part…you have to do some research — keyword research is what I mean. You will need to pick low competition keywords to use as the topics of your articles.

After you’ve collected a list of several good keywords, your writing should begin. It’s best to write several short articles based around a single keyword, and you should do this for each of your keywords. When your articles are complete, you will begin submitting them to popular article directories — this will help your articles to get picked up by the search engines, and most times, your articles will rank first or second for your chosen keywords. As a result, your articles get traffic and you will begin making affiliate sales, all done with no money spent.

Online Marketing

As was originally designed, the internet or the World Wide Web was intended to be a colossal hub of information where people all over the world can find the answers to their queries. And it is but there is more – definitely much, much more.

In its initial period of growth, nobody could have predicted that it would affect the way we conduct business. With a massive infrastructure to communicate and connect, the internet’s potential for business is now clearly taken advantage by entrepreneurs and big conglomerates. We are now moving into the cyberspace. The internet can be considered as the most important game changer especially for the small players. Today, even the smallest of businesses is given the same level playing field to capture the global market just like the big global corporations.

In fact, having an internet based business may not be necessary to gain benefits from online marketing as the web has induced many traditional or brick and mortar businesses to have online presence. As Bill Gates had said at the pioneering stage of the internet, “When you are not in the internet, you are not doing business.” For example, a small producer of a local wine or beverage can easily have its own internet facility as a way of expanding its market reach.

Online advertising is all around us on every website you visit there is some sort of tactic to coach us into buying something or some service. At first this is not always apparent and there is a lot of carrot dangling going on as you are gently coached into taking the bait.

Some of the tools that people market through were not essentially designed for marketing. Facebook was established as a social networking site but it is now a great business tool sucking away huge traffic from the Google search engine. The people behind different social media sites are making a killing by selling advertising space and business-wise this probably was their primary objective. This is giving away free services and publishing platforms yet raking in huge returns in the process.

You can indeed be sharing something free with the purpose of generating revenues. As a marketer, you can get involved with article marketing – publishing useful information in different article directories in exchange for the chance to link your sites in the author’s box.

It is always a great challenge in utilizing the power of online marketing. Why is this so? It is because of the changing and evolving nature of doing business in the web. What works today may not be the “in” thing tomorrow. Consider the fact that once a new idea comes into play or a new niche is discerned it is competition could be literally rushing into the highway to snatch a slice of the market pie.

In online marketing, aside from the product or service you are promoting, you must also know what niche you are targeting to as you could not adopt a one-for-all scheme.  Discovering a specific want or need can be your gold mine but know for sure that other marketers will eventually find out about the niche and quickly snatch their own stake on the market. This is actually true in both offline and online marketing.

Remember the days of the acai berry. This product was positioned as a new product that could bring on many health benefits. No one had heard much about it so the competition was relatively small, then every online marketer in the world with any know how jumped on the product as quickly as it became popular. All of a sudden, the product was flooded with the same product just bearing different brands. Right now, it would be difficult to make money from it anymore. This kind of commotion is transpiring everyday in online marketing – well, just like the traditional business landscape. New niches are found and filled up and then a month or two later they are already teeming with marketers.

The landscape of the cyberspace is changing everyday just like a moving and forming clouds. But one thing that will never change is the fact that doing business in today’s environment means you must have a felt presence in the web.

Article Marketing

One of the most important elements to make a website or blog successful is the amount of targeted traffic it could generate. Without the right type of visitors, even a very attractive site with good contents can mean nothing. You have to promote your site and writing and publishing articles online is one of the most effective techniques in promoting your site and ensure that it gets in front of your target market.

People are always searching the internet for information. And when you offer great quality content in your articles, it gives people a reason to come to your site. We will discuss here at least three major article marketing techniques which are all proven to be working for majority of online marketers.

The first thing that you need to keep in mind with article marketing is to create great and attention-getting titles. The title should grab your reader even by just a mere look and should effectively arouse the viewer’s curiosity enough to get read at all. You don’t really need to be a Pulitzer winner or very witty when creating your articles. Your articles should be concise and packed with enough information yet still leave some room to whet your readers’ appetite for more. In short, you have to appeal to curiosity in your reader’s mind and at the same time tell them what the article is about. After all, you don’t want anybody guessing whatever message you want to convey.

The next thing to consider is that the resource box below your article is actually the most important part of your entire article marketing campaign. The most effective way to get people to respond to your resource box is to sell your product or website in a way that gets readers to click to it. When creating your resource box, make sure you leave out who you are and what you do, as that’s a common mistake that never works. If your resource box doesn’t include a call to action, most people won’t click on your link. If you are asking people to click on your link, you must let them know exactly what they’re going to find on the other side

Now most of your traffic is going to come from the major search engines like Google. So before you even start writing your articles, you need to do proper keyword research so that you’re able to get good rankings in the search engines.

Despite the fact that there are self-proclaimed “gurus” announcing that article marketing is outdated, experts in this field see no end in sight. For as long as people are looking for information with the use of the internet, then article marketing is here to stay. Take advantage of it now as your competition is definitely utilizing its power.

The best aspects of article marketing are that the results are direct and targeted plus it requires no capital outlay at all. You just have to learn to create great articles if you want to bring in as much traffic as possible to your websites. So go ahead and start publishing articles using the tips above and success can be yours in no time at all.

eZine Marketing

Do you have hundreds, even thousands, of opt-in subscribers eagerly waiting for your regular online newsletter? You most likely are sending out copies of your eZine on a consistent basis. By now, you must have realized that it consumes so much of your time and effort to come up with helpful content for your subscribers to read.

On this scenario, maybe you have been speculating  on how could you monetize or earn money from your eZine investment.

It is true that eZines were not invented just for you to get nothing out of it or else it could become a losing proposition. Definitely, you can earn money here – a lot of money at that – from creating your own eZine and promoting your subscriber base.

How can it be possible? Here, let us talk on at least ten ways by which you could possibly earn money from your eZine.

1. Market your own products. Your mailing list at your hand means you have a very powerful tool to follow up on your subscribers to pre-sell some offers. You could try to win their trust by establishing good relationship and regular contact, and then in time sell them your products.

2. Promote affiliate products. In online marketing, you are not required to have your own products to be able to sell anything to your subscribers. In fact, the most online marketers are not just marketing their own products but they are also promoting products of other marketers whom they trust. You could join any of the myriad affiliate programs on the net today.  You’d be paid a commission for every sale a subscriber of yours buys a product from the affiliate merchant.

3. Directly sell solo ads. This means you allow another internet marketer to promote his products on your eZine by giving him a space in one of your issues where he could talk whatever he is offering. Naturally, this is a paid advertising. However, just be careful that you are dealing with reputable marketers so you can possibly annoy some of your subscribers. For instance, never allow scam type of products to be marketed on your ezine.

4. Paid recommendatory ads. You could also offer to recommend another marketer’s products to your subscribers for a fee. You could do this by writing reviews or recommendations embedded in one of your value-packed content messages.

5. Establish partnerships. Joint ventures can tremendously increase your profits tremendously. However, the established online businessmen would take into consideration your standing in the industry before they could consider you for the partnership. So if you have a mailing list with thousands of subscribers, most likely, they will take you in an instant.

6. Paid subscription. Once your eZine has built an excellent reputation for itself as genuine information and demand for subscription is at an all time high, you could start charging for subscription fees. You can earn money every time new user would subscribe to your eZine service as well in subscription renewal. This could give you great income for many years to come.

7. Build your people or affiliates. The best way to promote your own products is to get some people to help you advertise the same to ever corner of the World Wide Web. Indeed, we are talking about establishing your own affiliate program. And the best source for affiliates is, and will always be, your mailing list.

8. Use your repeat traffic. If you’re engaged in a Pay-Per-click (PPC) program like Google AdSense, then page impressions count. Page impressions are not dependent on unique visitors alone. Repeat visitors are crucial to your sustainable success. Your eZine can help you secure repeat visitors as you’ll have a platform to constantly remind your subscribers about your website.

9. Link your sales page. A lot of online marketers have different websites for each of their products. How would people know where to go? Aside from the organic traffic from the search engines, you could lead the members of your mailing list to your various sales pages by simply including a link on your eZine.

10. Leveraging power. This could be useful by the time you want to sell your website. A website with a mailing list of 10,000 subscribers can command a higher price than a mere website with no mailing list at all. However, you must tell the buyer of some predicaments here. The website and the eZine should be maintained by the buyer. The buyer cannot change everything and expect the existing subscribers to continue their subscription for something totally different from what they have signed up for.

SEO

We all know that King Google is looking at your content based on quality and of course optimization. Therefore, we could conclude that there’s a lot more to spinning a good article than just coming up with new ways to say the same old thing. There’s a technique.

There is a certain method that we could utilize to create a search engine friendly article —- using good grammar and appropriate SEO method. And a good writer knows this.

Search engine optimization is very vital to rank in the many search engines. It needs to be present in everything published on your site. You need to make sure you are utilizing the right keywords or you are risking your site to be indexed in the wrong place.

Failure to understand and implement SEO techniques would ensure that the vast wilderness of the internet is going to swallow you whole. At the end, you could have wasted all the time you spent trying to put together the perfect online marketing campaign for your site or business.

What is definitely easy to remember is maximizing keyword density within reasonable bounds when you are writing the original article. However, it not the same when you’re creating your spun variations of various sentences. There are times when a perfectly optimized article – even if spun the right way — doesn’t even contain the keywords you are working for. From a marketing perspective, this is completely unacceptable.

SEO is not all and be all though — which is where a lot of rookie marketers commit some mistakes. Take note that Google is very much interested in relevancy together with keyword focus. Stuffing spun articles with keywords, using keywords completely unrelated to the topic they’re writing about and creating variations that are too similar could raise the Google’s high brows and as a result could get you kicked off the Google index.

Imagine a world where 99% of the Internet community doesn’t even know you exist and it’s easy to see why it’s so important to know good writing and SEO or at least hire a professional writer and SEO marketer at the helm when using spun articles.

You can succeed in article marketing!

Make It Online

And so earlier today I was browsing for some little news and what I found is yet another of those doom-and-gloom piece predicting how we might be in for a “double dip” type of countrywide economic recession.

Double dip recession basically means that the first recession we just went through could generate another round of recession due to inability of things to pick up quickly as they should be.

To say it in a nutshell, the consuming public is not adequately confident that the economy is in good and robust shape and so people are expecting the economy to go into a tailspin.  Good but not funny stuff!

I’m sure most people are getting crazy just to think of another recession yet alone losing jobs … but as for me I am not even at least concerned.

Why? Because another round of recession could spell good news for some people…

Yes…I said good news. And it could be good news to you and me.

I know…I know that a lot of people will struggle more if we will have a second recession — and more people are going to lose their jobs… and no I am not really thrilled about that.

Losing jobs is definitely not good news especially if you have your own family and expenses to attend to!

The reason a “double dip” recession could be a good news for some people including me is for one plain reason …

Recession means there will be lots of local businesses — the brick and mortar types — who are looking for additional leads, clients and sales and these businesses are so willing to pay big money to the people who can assist them in that goal.

In fact, you could earn thousands of dollars a month even from just one individual client if you have the correct knowledge and are willing to utilize it.

Local business owners wish to find the bigger market online but are hindered because almost none of them have the idea where to start much more maintaining it.

They don’t know the right ways to get a first page rank on Google for their specific stores or the intricacies of running an effective local lead generation campaign.

And these businesses don’t have the willingness and time to learn how to do these things online.
The best option these offline businesses want to take is to get someone to do that stuff for them. And, of course, they are willing to pay a lot of money.

This is an opportunity that many are describing as the “next gold rush” and although I’ve heard and doubt that before…I am a firm of it this time.

Advertising dollars and clients’ attentions are moving to the Internet — away from the traditional Yellow Pages, magazine ads, and newspapers.

That’s equivalent to billions of dollars jumping away from the conventional type advertising and hopefully towards people like you and me.

Or to put it into another words, these billions of dollars “could” be moving to people like you…if we have the knowledge and some expertise on how to get our share of the money pie.

Let’s prepare ourselves now for the explosion of the online business in response to the coming recession!

Bryan Abarecio Internet Marketing Entrepreneur

One of my closest buddies Bryan Abarecio who is now living in Australia contacted me last month. I just learned that he is now a very successful internet marketer. Last week, I asked him to share simple tips on building wealth online – especially for a newbie. I am then sharing below the tips that he emailed to me.

Tip 1: Select a niche that you are familiar with, passionate about and that you enjoy spending time on. The more specific the niche, the better and the more chances you have of success. As an illustration, if you want to make a blog on health, it is better to focus on a niche under it like breast cancer.

Tip 2: Buy and manage your own domain names. A domain name is your business online address. Investing a little money in domains is one of the most important steps if you want to make it in the world of internet marketing. For purpose of creating your own online brand, you must keep it memorable, short, plus stay away from hyphenated words.

Tip 3: Get a webhost as it is vital. Now, your hosting service provider must be reliable and must offer Linux, Cpanel and Fantastico especially if you are planning to put up a blog. Except if you want ecommerce shopping carts or expect to generate 100,000 visitors a day, the cost won’t be more than $10 monthly.

Tip 4: Choose the popular WordPress as the blog platform or content management system. WordPress is the preferred choice of millions of bloggers and webmasters. It’s quick and easy to master and has a big advantage of limitless flexibility. There are literally 100′s of free and premium blog templates available all over the net – which can help build a beautiful and professional-looking site just within minutes. In addition, with WordPress you can avail of thousands of free plug-ins necessary to make your blog functional and adept with trends.

Tip 5: Set up your own mailing list of subscribers and prospective customers. This is a single most important secret of all successful marketers. Write up a free report with the best of your knowledge and give it away as an incentive to people to join your list. Get an autoresponder service – you can choose either paid (like Aweber or TrafficWave) or free (search on Google).  Then create an autoresponder series.

Tip 6: Always produce high-value original content for your site. If you can write an email or a forum post, you can write original content for your webpage. Produce content which offers solutions to your prospective audience’s problems. In case your time is very much limited, then the remaining choice is for you to outsource this task you want to accomplish.

Tip 7: Invest time to discover even the basics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO both on-site and off-site is the cornerstone to generate free organic traffic from different search engines.

Tip 8: Create high-quality backlinks for your site. Backlinks are just like votes of popularity for your site. The more backlinks your site has, the better it could rank with search engines especially Google.

Tip 9: Study and learn from the top successful Internet Marketers. As much as possible, you should learn the basics on copywriting, webdesign, contextual ad placement, lead generation techniques — simply by observing and taking notes of what the top experts are implementing on their webpages and mailing lists.

Tip 10: Plan a doable strategy and act on the plan. If you want to be successful, you must stick to it. To help me remind myself, I keep a small pad on my desk and each day I write down everything I need to accomplish as well as daily tasks. Be responsible and hold yourself liable for achieving them.

With all of these tips, my friend and I are hoping that you are on your way to the success haven we all dream of.

Have a nice marketing day to everyone!
