How To Convert Your Visitors From Curious To Serious In 4 Steps

Traffic generation is only one part of the equation. The second part of the equation are effective copywriting strategies for converting visitors. Important point to keep in mind is that there are millions of other website you visitors or readers could be reading right now.

To get customer to your website takes time and effort. But we don't want our efforts to be wasted! Do we? That's why it is important to use these effective copywriting strategies to convert curious visitors into serious buyers. It all starts with...

  
1. First Impression

An average time spent on the web site is 4 seconds. So yo have only about 4 seconds to give good enough reason to the visitor to stick around. One of the biggest mistakes people make on their websites and blogs is to have a huge logo on the top of their site.

If your site is designed for branding purposes then this is fine. But most websites are direct response websites, which means that the owner hopes to get some kind of response from the visitor. For example: subscribing to the mailing list, making a purchase and so on...

If your logo or another non-selling feature takes half of the screen, then not many people will scroll down to see what kind of content you have on your site. People do not read on the web, they scan! So scanning web pages is not the same as scanning newspaper ads. If there is a big ad in the newspaper and below it is some kind of article, then you can clearly see it. This is because the article is in your vision field.

But on the website people make their decision about the worthiness of the web page  based on what they see first when they land on it. So what should you include at the top.

2. Emotional Headline

95% of success depends on your headline. Headline is something that is vitally important for the success of your site of sales letter. Headline must be designed in such a way that it touches emotions of readers. To be able to do this we need to know what readers want. To find out what our targeted audience wants we need to ask these questions:
  • What do they rally want?
  • What will make their lives better, easier, less painful?
  • What part of my product or service will make them feel sexier, younger, healthier?
Reader doesn't care about anything else other then how what you have to say benefits him/her. They want answer on the question: "What is in for me?" Remember people do not care about product's features. Features do not sell. You must point out benefits of your offer in a such a way that it creates emotional image.

3. Make Your Body Copy Easy To Read

No one wants to read dense text. As I mentioned earlier, people do not read web pages they scan. Here are some useful tips on how to write scannable copy:
  • Use bullet points
  • Highlight keywords
  • Write only short paragraphs 
  • Divide your copy using sub-heads
Using sub-headings is very important! Sub-heads have two purposes: to divide copy into meaningful chunks and to highlight benefits. Flow of benefit in the copy should start with the most important benefit in the headline and the less important benefits included in the subsequent headings.

4. Tell Them What They Should Do Next

Writing a killer copy is not enough! You must tell your reader what to do next. People are much more likely to do something if you give them reason to do it. So what ever you ask them to do (subscribing to your newsletter, making a purchase) make it very clear!

Search Engine Optimisation - DIY in 3 Steps

Search engine optimisation is one of the best traffic generation techniques there is. If you do it the wrong way you've wasted your time, but if you do it the right way - you get thousands of visitors to your web site monthly.
I'm sure you know all this already, so the question is: "Where do I start?" Ok, so the first and the most important step is...

SEO Step 1: Keyword Research

There is many tools to do this out there. But the best and the cheapest tool is Google Keyword Tool.Don't use any paid tools. You don't have to! Google (at the time of writing) is the biggest search engine so why not take an advice from the giant of the search.

So what do you do next? You simply enter search terms of your market into the search box. There is one thing to keep in mind! Google can give you only as good keyword suggestions as good is your input. It's second level thinking machine.

So where do you get good keyword ideas to put in? Brainstorm! Think of everything that your potential customers may be looking for. Once you have a list of ideas then use the tool. Here is how it looks...

SEO Step 2: Analyse Your Competitors

One of the great things about making money online is that you can model success of your competitors - FAST! All you need to do is type in your keyword you want to optimise your site for and see who comes at the top of the SERP.

See what keyword is your competition using and add them to your list if you don't have them yet. This way you can find new wonderful keyword combinations, you probably didn't even know that existed. That's modeling success.

SEO Step 3: Optimise Your Body Copy

Now you need to place or map your important keywords (those you want to rank for) into your pages. Search engine uses very complicated algorithm to determine which page will be in which position in the Search Engine Result Page (SERP). Nobody knows how exactly search engine's algorithm works. But you can increase your chances of showing up on the firts page of Google by placing your important keywords in following sections:
  • title tag - this is the most important tag. Make sure you include your important keyword first.
  • meta description - even if you don't supply meta description, Google will extract description from your text. But you should supply your own description because Google's one may not always be the best
  • header tags - - include keywords in header tags. h1 has the highest importance, h2 lower, h3 even lower and so on...
  • anchor text - make sure to include keywords in your anchor text, but don't over do it! Use keyword rich anchor text to link to your internal pages within your own site and to your own site from another sites such as article directories
  • include keyword in the body copy - the optimal keyword density is 3%. Which means that if you have 100 words text you should not have more then 3 keywords in it

List of Top Article Directories

Here is a complete list of top article directories that you can use to submit your articles - top 50 article directories.

How To Build Mailing Lists Using Articles

Article marketing and list building are still the two most effective marketing methods you can use. As an Internet marketer you absolutely need to concentrate your efforts on building mailing list. The easiest way to do that is to use articles marketing.

How does it work?

Its simple! You start by submitting articles to the article directories. There is a countless number of article directories you can use. Here is a list of top 50 article directories. Before submitting, you should always make yourself familiar with the "rules" for submitting. This is because some article directories review your article before it's published on the Net.

Playing by rules will save you time and energy you would have to otherwise use by correcting and re-submitting your article. You can write articles on any topic you like. This of course depends on the nature of your business.

The next step in building mailing lists using articles is creating opt-in form that will collect contact details. Your article provides link (in the resource box) that directly links to your opt-in page. The key is to provide reader with a compelling reason to click through to opt-in page from your article.

Once opt-in page visitor enters details and submits them ,he/she will then be redirected to either a free report or to your affiliate page. Now, when you have subscribers in your mailing list, the key question to ask is: What do I do with them? The answer is -BUILD TRUST!

Remember! The key to making huge profits from your mailing list is to build relationship. You can't simply bombard them with constant offers. When you're building mailing lists using article marketing, you have to remember that article reader was looking for information. That's why you need to first build trust by sending quality, rock-solid content to your list.

Your subscribers don't know you! That's why you can't start bombarding them with offers and promotions. Because if you do, you'll loose them. They simply unsubscribe from your list. Every email you send must have un-subscribe link in it (legal requirement). And to click it is not a rocket science. Your subscriber knows this!

List Building - 3 Surefire Tactics For Building Huge Lists of Hungry Buyers

As you already know mailing list is the most powerful weapon in your marketing arsenal. It's basically your very own money printing machine. There is many strategies out there teaching you how to build huge mailing lists, but how many of them are really effective.

in the next few paragraph I'm going to reveal surefire strategies for building a super massive mailing list with very little effort. So, here is what you need to build monster lists:

1. Auto-Responder Software 

Put is simply, without auto-responder software you can hardly build any list. So auto-responders are absolutely "must have" tool. As you know there are many softwares available out there, but frankly 98% of them are not that good. The best (and cheapest) software available on the market today is Aweber. It's very easy to use and it won't cost you an arm and leg.
Click on the picture bellow to get your auto-responder (Aweber) software now:


 2. Opt-In Form

Opt-in forms are also called squeeze pages. Why? Because they are designed to squeeze names and e-mail addresses of visitors. Here is an interesting fact. According to the recent research only 5% visitors will buy first time. The rest - 95% will leave and you may never see them again. This is exactly reason why you simply can't afford to be without opt-in form.

Always place your opt-in page in the left upper corner of your website. Why? Because it needs to be visible. Another interesting fact is that you have only 8 seconds (and this includes click and load time) to get visitors attention. And this leads us to the next important tool...

3. Offer That Cannot Be Refused

Just because you have an opt-in page on your site doesn't mean that you'll get any subscriber. You must present them with offer that simply cannot be refused. People these days (especially people online) are not exactly excited with giving away their contact details. This is mainly due to the SPAM problems.

That's why you need to offer them something that is of very high perceived value to them (free report, free e-book, free videos...). Also, use compelling headline. What type of headline you should use depends on your market. They must want to give you your details. Make sure too assure them that their details are safe in your hands.

Word of warning! It's a good idea to get yourself familiar with the Data Protection Act creating  your mailing list. It doesn't mean to study it... I only advice you to do this so you won't get into any trouble.

3 Article Marketing Secrets You Must Know!

Article marketing is one of the most effective way to drive traffic to your web site. The reasons for this are simple.People look for solution to their problems. They are not necessarily looking to buy something because most of the time they are looking for solid content.

Quality content is one of the best ways to build trust and relationship with your prospective customers, which leads to sales. When writing articles keep in mind these 3 simple but very powerful secrets:

1) Write in Editorial Style - No Selling!
Research shows that an average person is exposed to around 2000 - 4000 advertising messages a day. So the last thing people want to see is another ad. The key to article success is quality content that provides value to your visitors.

Many article directories do review articles before they are approved. So by writing proper content, instead of sales pitch, you save yourself time and hassle.

Whether your trying to promote your own site or an affiliate site you should not include any links in actual article body. You need to include reason to click through to your site, alongside with a link, in bio box. Bio box is placed at the bottom of the article where people can read information about you. This is the most important part of article writing where you need to concentrate all your efforts.

2) Make it Easy for Reader to Read Your Article!
The problem with Internet is that you have only very little time available to capture some one's attention. Depending on the source you have only about 5-8 seconds (and this includes click and load time) to get some one's attention.

First step towards harvesting attention is headline. Yo need to construct headline than captures attention. If the headline is not compelling, than no one will read it. People make decision whether to read something or not depending on the headline.

Reading web pages is different from reading newspaper. This means that you need to make your article scanable. People do not read on the web they scan. So to make your article scanable follow these tips:
  • Use bullet points 
  • Higlight keywords
  • Write only one idea per paragraph 
  • Don't write more than 2 or 3 sentences in one paragraph
3) Include Keywords  
There are two possible ways for people to read your article. Find it through article directory, or find it through search engine. Article directories are highly ranked sites, so this means that they are frequently indexed by search engines.

Keyword optimising your articles can make difference between getting few visitors a month to getting few hundred visitors a day. Including keywords is not a rocket  science. All you need to do is this:
  • Include main keyword in article title
  • Include keyword in the first paragraph and highlight it. This is important because search engine gives importance to keywords at the beginning of the article and at the end. The reason for this is that search engine emulates human behaviour. Since people don't read web pages but they scan, they are most likely to read first and last paragraph of your article. 
  • Include keywords in links. This is called anchor text and it's very important. Don't just link somewhere saying click here! That's of no value to visitors.
  • Don't overdo it with keywords. Including too many keywords is not good. Search engines don't like it. 
There you have it! 3 simple article marketing secrets. So to recap... Write quality content, make your article scanable and include keywords.

Want to Join Affiliate Program? Here is 10 Reasons Why You Should!

Joining an affiliate program is the best way to start making money online. I'm sure you already know this. But just in case you're still not sure why is joining affiliate programs best choice to make fortune online, here are some reasons that will help you to make decision:


Affiliate Marketing Means NO PRODUCTION COSTS
Good news is that you don't have to develop any products. It's all done for you. All you need to do is to promote affiliate products. And bad news is ...Well.. there isn't any bad news! Just in case you don't know production cost of products can run up to thousands of dollars. And this doesn't mean that the product will make any many!

There is NO CHARGE to Get Started in Affiliate Marketing
Think about it! Why would you spend thousands of dollars (which is normal set-up cost) for brick-and-mortar business if you can do it for free. Yeah! That's right! It doesn't cost any money to get started in affiliate marketing. And if someone is asking you for money to get started...Leave it and never come back! There may be companies that will want some money from you, but you don't need to pay for it. Most of the affiliate programs (99.3%) are free of charge!

As and Affiliate You Can Sell Anything That Can be Sold
By now, anything that can be sold through affiliate networks is being sold already. And if something is not selling it means only one thing - You can make money out of it! The easiest way to do a quick check if you can make money out of potential affiliate program is to type mane of the product into the Google and see if there are any sponsored links (AdWords). If so it means that other affiliates are making money.

No EXPERIENCE Necessary
Good thing about affiliate programs is that you don't need to be a sales pro. With traditional business you need to know stuff, such as, how to setup stock control, how to hire stuff plus all the legal requirements...Here is what I'm trying to say.. I can't promise you that with affiliate marketing you'll make lots of money fast, but I can promise you one thing about traditional business. You'll have hart aches, headaches and if you don't know what your doing your out of business and out of money faster than you think! If you don't believe me go and try and come back here to write comment about your experience.

On this blog there is more info than you'll ever need to become a successful affiliate. So take your time and keep exploring. I'm only going to add more and more of quality content (daily if all goes well)... so, keep reading!

No STAFF to Employ and NO HUGE Bills to Pay
Once again traditional business requires you to pay bills - big ones. Something like this is not going to happen with affiliate marketing. You join program you want, you choose to work as much as you want, you make as much money as you want... And when you'll become super successful affiliate superstar than you can find a few helpers to help you out with something you don't want to do (this is called outsourcing).

As an affiliate marketer you don't need any premises. All you will need is already there. Sounds too good to be true. Well, you have computer and Internet connection. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Yo have skills to read this post...so it isn't nuclear science after all!

No PAYMENT PROCESSING Nightmares!
This is good one! I don't know if you know how to set-up payment processing. If you know...well done to you! If not you have two options:
  • you'll learn how to do it yourself (good luck with that)...
  • or you 'll join affiliate program and you'll spend your valuable time doing something better- like counting money!
NO SHIPPING, NO HANDLING, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE of Any Kind
Because products are made by someone else, remember your job is to only promote them, you don't have to worry about anything else. The person who created products already worked out how to handle products, how to handle customer service... Just imagine what Thai means! How would you like to handle 100 phone calls a day from your customers?


So in summary... affiliate programs are a great way to make money online because you don't have to do many things you would have to do if you had traditional business. This means that you can concentrate on marketing your products. Because of this there is huge income potential and freedom. Of course there is downside to this. Affiliate marketing work on commission (percentage from sale) basis, so you get paid portion of the sale. Some commissions are huge, some are extremely small, even insulting! But hey! All you need to do is to do some research around. Tip of the day - don't jump to the first affiliate scheme you find!

Terrifying Truth About Fear Of Success

As you already know some people fail to achieve their dreams or goals because they're afraid of failure. This is very common amongst many people. Fear of failure powers self-development industry. But did you know that some people fear of success. Now this is shocking fact. In this article I'm going to share with you symptoms of fear of success and I'm going to give you powerful solution to overcome this fear. So lets begin.

Here are the symptoms or fear of success:
  1. Trying to study every possible book or material on self -development. Trying to implement different tools, but there is no result and in many cases life gets even worst than before.
     2.  Buying different money making schemes.You are full of enthusiasm, but you never persist to the end and as a result you never make any money. You think that particular scheme doesn't work and you buy another one - cycle continues...
   
     3. You are always expecting things to go wrong even if you are studying money making and using good  money making programs.
   
     4. You are always happy with little. You never try to reach your full potential

Does this sound familiar to you? Can you Identify yourself with above statements?

There is many reasons why people fear of failure. For example, maybe now you are not making a lots of money. People around you, your friends or your family are too not making lots of money. So here is the thing. You want to make money, yo imagine yourself in possession of all the money you want, you see all the things you would buy, once you have the money. But than terrible question emerges from back of your mind: "How is my family going to react to me? How my friends will react once I make lots of money?" Yes this is one of the questions that can stop you from being successful. But yo must combat this fear as soon as you can. Remember you have only one life, only one opportunity.  Your friends and your family have exactly the same ability and opportunity to make their life different. They too can be successful, but the choose not to.

There is no reason why you can't have that car you want. There is no reason why you need to struggle-financially. At some point in your life you'll regret that you didn't take the action. I personally think that there is nothing more humiliating than being financially dependant on someone. Just think about this. Once you get old, you'll no longer be able to do something, you'll no longer be able to make difference in your life. You'll  depend on someone else. Yes my friend these terrifying thoughts made me to drop my fear of success, because I too was afraid.

Greatest Truth Ever Told About Making Money Online

If you want to make a lots of money on the Internet you need to understand some very important concepts about generating income. You see most people work 30-60 hours every week and most of them live from salary to salary. What is the problem with this? Nothing! It's every one's choice to work as much as he/ she wishes. But you are here reading this article, because you're sick of rat racing. You see there is no reason why you couldn't make lots of money online. Most people create limitations in their own minds why they can't make money on the Internet. They think that you need to have masters degree in business or years of experience.Well, this is not true. Read this article word by word, and if necessary read it many times until you get the message it communicates.

You want to make money.Right? But so want hundreds of thousands of other people to make money too.These people don't know anything about making money online. All what you need to do is to show them that you're the one who knows how to make money. These people are looking for information. Your job is to educate them. They don't know anything. Making money online is a multi-billion business. And you can get share of this if you follow these simple , but extremely powerful advice.

The fact is that most people make money by working a job 40 to 60 hours a week. This is called generating active income. But what about generating passive income? I'm going to explain to you complete cycle of how money is made in business opportunity industry online or offline.This cycle will start with YOU. What psychologists discovered is that human mind goes through 4 stages of learning and development. Here is what I mean by this. You are now probably at the first or second stage of your development. You either don't know how to make money online or you know that there is opportunity to make money online, you know something about it, but you can not put your knowledge into working model. Now pay attention if you don't get what I'm saying in this article you'll not make any money.Why?

Before I answer this question let me tell you something else. Number one reason why people fail is because they do not have any mentor. They have no one who can pass specific knowledge on to them how to do specific thing, that is make money online. It doesn't matter how money websites you visit it doesn't matter how many books you'll read, you'll always end up at the same point. You'll walk in the circle. But the price of this is that if you had mentor lets say 4 months ago you wouldn't read this article but you would  be teaching others these facts. Why is that? Because when you have your own mentor he can give you specific knowledge this will result in taking actions from your site. You'll trial and fail. But you're failure will be starting point for powerful development. You'll be backed up by you r mentor who will feedback you and motivate you. You'll build confidence, so instead of fear from failure, number one reason why people don't do anything when they buy any sort of business opportunity. Not only you'll be confident you'll also face failure and you'll be ready top kick her ass.

So once you have a working model and back up(your mentor) you'll be stepping into the 3rd stage of intellectual development. This is the point where student outperforms teacher.Becasue you know what to do now you can that read books and absorb knowledge from all directions. You'll become unstoppable machine that generates money without effort. Your mind will turn into sponge absorbing everything but only those facts that are related to your goal-that is to make money. My friend you are about to wake up, very soon with so much money that you'll not know what to do with yourself. From this point on you'll be making money effortlessly and automatically, without even thinking about it.

Here is a summary of psychological cycle you must understand:

Stage1: Unconscious Incompetence

You have absolutely now idea about making money online. You do know that interenet exists and that you can look up 'stuff' on it, but that's you knowledge.

Stage 2:Conscious Incompetence 

Yo know that you can make money online, because maybe you accidentally found web site talking about this, or you heared it somewhere from someone, but you don't know how to do it yet. If you are at this stage get yourself mentor, because your mind is clear. Don't read any books. Stop searching for info. This is dangerous stage because if you buy any scheme on making money and you fail your confidence will drop.If you fail two or free times your mind will switch itself into self-destrucion mode. Your conscious mind will tell you that you are looser that you can't do it and you'll be forced by your own mind to quit trying to make money online. And this would mean that you missed out on opportunity to change your life- forever. You are going to make money, becasue I'll teach you how. I'll be your success mentor.

Stage 3:Conscious Competence

At this stage your behaviour (making money online) because you are following model, you are  modelling your mentor, you are modelling success.You know what to do, when to do it. You are staring to make money. You are becomming an addict - you want more. Strange force took over your body and mind. You knowledge advances every day, because you are searching for facts. You're extracting fractions of knowledge from other successful people and you are plugging them into your own model.  Your brain sets up new connections, you are making lots of money, but you need to think about how to make them.

How To Build Web Site Traffic In 4 Easy Steps



Very important part of making money is getting traffic to your web site. What is the point of web design web site if no one knows that your site exists. How can you make money if you haven't got any visitors.Most people spend so much time building a web site or blog, but they neglect traffic generation completely, This is a big mistake and you need to plan ahead how you're going to get traffic to your web site. In this article I'm going to teach you 4 very powerful strategies to get traffic to your web site.

1.Build Interesting Web Site

You need to create content that provides value to your visitors. You need to give them solution to their problems. If you do you make a lots of money. If you don't give them any solution you make nothing. So try to think what problems your audience may be having. Ask your self:

  • What is their problem?
  • What are they worry about?
  • What would make them happy or satisfied?
  • How can I help them to solve their problems?

Than you need to transform answers to these questions to your content. Tell them tat you do understand their problems. Show them that your site is the only site they'll ever need. If you give them what they want they'll come back and you make money. If you're site doesn't provide good content they'll click away and you'll never see them again-ever. Remember on the Internet there are millions if not billions of pages so your site or blog must compete with this volume of pages. Make your site or blog stand out of the crowd.

2.Contribute With Quality Content On Other Sites

Another good technique to build traffic is to contribute with good content on other sites. For example, you can go to another blogs and comment posts. You'll be linking to your site and people reading comments will see that you know what you're talking about so they'll check out your site. You should always try to add comments to site that have higher page rank than your site. This will also boost your page rank.

3.Write Articles

Even better traffic generation tactics is to write articles. You can specialize on specific topic. You can than submit your article to number of article directories such as: ezine articles. Once again this will generate traffic to your web site plus you'll become expert in specific niche. I know what you think: "Writing Articles....?" But trust me, article marketing is very powerful method to generate traffic to your site. The beauty of this is that you can include links to your web site. These articles can be used by other people as a content for their own sites, but the condition is that they must leave links in the article untouched. So imagine this: if only ten people take your article and if each of these people will get 100 visitors to their site and if these visitors will click to your site...Can you see the power of article marketing?

4. Optimise Your Site

Site optimisation has two stages: on-page optimisation and off-page optimisation. On-page means that you include keywords in your content.Off-page optimisation means that you get links from other sites to your site. Once again make sure you are linking from those site that have higher page rank than your site. One of the methods to do this is to leave comments on regular basis on other blogs.

As you can see getting traffic to your site is not so difficult after all. All you need to do is to put some effort into it. Think of all the money you'll make when your site receives regular traffic.

4 Most Effective WaysTo Grow Your Business Using Blogs



Blogs are very powerful tools you can use to grow your business. And it costs nothing, so if you don't blog, you are missing on huge opportunity to grow your business exponentially. Many people talk about blogging, but they don't really understand how to use blogs to expand their business. I'm going to hell you why exactly you need to use blogs.

I told you before, blogging is about getting people to know you. Your reader will feel after some time, like :"Hey I know this guy!" So you must write as you would talk to your customers in real life. Talk to them, let them know that you care about their problems.

2.Blog Allows You To Attract New Customers

Yes, blogs are very easily indexed by search engines. This is because the way blogs are designed. You know Blogs are Web 2.0 tools. Users and readers generate content, because they want to let others to know something. So imagine if blogs are not indexed quickly, information would be too old. Search engine discovers blogs and sites through links. Search engine uses spider (robot) to crawl the web. This spider follows links from one site to another site. And this is exactly how your blog gets found. But you must let search engine know what is your blog about. That's why you need to use keywords and titles and descriptions and tags...So when the search engine knows what is your blog about it can than match query that search engine user types in.

3.Blogs Allow You To Become An Expert In Your Field

To understand how this is possible let me explain to you something. I'm going to tell you whole process of making sale using blogs. Pay attention, because this is a complete model you can use. So someone types in query, lets say, how to make money online. OK, you blog comes up. Now remember that person wants to know how to make money online, he/she may not want to buy anything.

So make sure you get yourself some kind of auto responder. There is many of them but the best one is aweber, everybody uses it. It's very easy to use. Make sure you get one, because auto-responder is trully powerfull way to grow your online business.

How To Make Money Blogging In 3 Easy Steps

Blogging is the easiest way to make money online these days. And the really good thing about blogging is that it doesn't cost you any money. So follow these simple techniques and get started today.

What is exactly is Blogging

Blog is a web log. Its where you can post articles or posts so others can read it. It's a bit different from a web site, because blog should provide interested content plus you should inject your personality into it. There was a research done on this topic and results where shocking. Some blogs have higher readership than major newspapers online. Why? Because bloggers write posts that reflect their opinions about some topic. So blogs are written in more personal style.

So remember bogs are user generated content. If you write article/post your readers can read it and that write a comment on that article. So if you are writing about making money online and someone writes a comment asking you something, go ahead and answer their question. Give them solution to their problems. So now when you know what blogs are lets have a look on how you can make money blogging.

1. Write Unique Articles
Now if you don't know what to write about here is a little cheat that will get you started. You don't have to come up with your own content. Most popular technique is to buy PLR (Private Label Right) articles and than you need to rewrite them so they are interesting. Because remember you want your blog readers to come back later. But to do this you need to provide fresh content. And you need to update your blog regularly. Blogs are easily indexed by search engines so make sure you also optimise your articles. Include keywords in your article several times, but don't over do it.

In your articles always include affiliate links to products, but make sure you are promoting products that reflect nature of your article. Example-if you write about making money online don't include links to products about gardening. I mean this is quite obvious, but believe or not, some people do this mistake.

2. Get Rich Writing Product Reviews

Now how about this. All you do is to write product reviews. Maybe you are asking how can I write product review if I don't know the product. All you do is you read sales letter of product and than extract benefits from that sales letter and write article about these benefits in your own words. Make sure you include a link to the product in your article.

3. Plug In Advertising Programs

You see now you already know two ways to make money blogging. But wait You are about to discover third one.Simplest way to make money blogging is to include advertising in your blog so when someone clicks on the ads you get paid.One of the most common form of this advertising is google AdSense. So how does it work? You need to first optimise your articles, which means that you need to include keywords, because if you don't you'll get irrelevant ads displayed on your blog. So for example, if your blog is about making money online and you don't include keywords in your article or post, you may get ads about restaurants. This is not going to make you any money, because people do not look for info about restaurants. They want to know how to make money.

When you get enough stable traffic on your web site you can than display banner ads of other people who will pay you for this. Depending on your traffic volumes you can chagre, I don't know, $500/month.So you how easy is to make money blogging these days. So get started now because sooner than you think you'll be making nice income from home. Another thing. Once you understand these simple techniques you can than duplicate them. You can create another blog and another one...Before you know it you have multiple streams of income.

Money Making Tactics Many Forget To Use

To make any amount of money on the Internet you need at least these 3 things. This is a complete blueprint, and people forget to use it.

Get Traffic To Your Website

How do you expect to make money with your website or blog if you don't get any people to it. Remember people can come to your website from any direction, but the most important thing is that they come in the right state of mind. What do I mean by this is that they must be ready to buy, or to get some info they are looking for. So your job is to give them what they want. For example, if you use Google Adwords to get people to your site you need to design ad in such a way that they'll be ready to buy from you. Never mislead people in your ads, because the only person who'll burn fingers is you.

Or if traffic is coming from search engine people are expecting to get the info they are looking for. Remember yo have only about 8 seconds to get people interested in what you've got to offer. And yes these 8 short seconds include click and load time. So make sure you take your time when designing your website. People search the net or click on the ads because they have got a problem they need to solve. Your job, if you want to make money of course, is to give them solution to their problems. If you do give them solution you are a winner and you'll make some serious money.

Harvest All The Email Addresses


Even the most experienced marketer ,or Internet guru if you wish, really makes better that 5% of conversion rate. So now ask yourself: "What happens to 95% of all visitors?" Well, as you may guess they say "tada" and you never see them again - ever. Now this is something you can not afford to happen, so you better get yourself a auto-responder so you can start pumping your list with some offers and make yourself nice income. So what you need to do is to create some kind of opt-in mechanism. And I hear you to ask another question: "How do I get them to enter their details?" Well, you need to offer them something in return for their details. But Don't offer them any newsletters, because people are sick of these. And they don't want to wait month to get your newsletter, but they want to get stuff now.

So what you want to do is to slap together some kind of e-book which is not difficult. Another thing worth to remember is that people on your mailing list will buy from you over and over again. What this means to you is never ending income. Good isn't it? The reason why people will buy from you over and over again is because they trust you. Because they bought from you before and they were satisfied with your products. Another thing you may want to know about getting people's email addresses is where exactly should you place your opt-in offer. There is no general rule, however make sure you place it somewhere where people can see it.

Build Site That Works


You know, in these days you don't even know how to build one. Technology is so easy that you laugh while building your money making site. But still, you need to put some thoughts into your site design. Many people don't understand that your site is like your shop. It needs to look somehow. You wouldn't send people to dirty shop, would you? And also you need to update your content on regular basis so visitors will come back again. How many visitors do you think you would get to your offline sore if you were selling only 3 cans of beans. Well, I suppose not many. So what you need to do is to give to your visitors a good reason to come back.

Write a good content every day. Don't worry you don't have to be great writer, you just need to write about something- frequently. The easiest way to get started with your site is to build a blog. It's free and it can make you lots of money, so why not? When you set up your blog all you need to do is to go nuts. Just write, let your visitors know that you care about them, that you understand their problems and most importantly show them that you can solve their problems. They'll begin to trust you. And before you know it you are making more money in one day than you use to make in one year.  

Others Are Making Money Online, So Why I Always Fail?


I got so overwhelmed with all the information, that I wanted to pack it in. But I knew people out there are making thousands, even hundreds of thousands pounds every month. So what am I doing wrong? I kept asking myself. In the following paragraphs I’m going to tell you why exactly I could make any money, so please make yourself comfortable and learn from my mistakes.

Focus On Specific Niche Market

I never focused on one specific niche. And this is the fundamental mistake and reason why I couldn’t make any money online. What you need to do is to focus on one area. Do what interests you. This is the easiest way to make money online. If you focus on specific subject, before you know it, you’ll become authority. And people will search your help.

Have a look around you. If you know something others don’t know the whole world will get and knock on your front door. You’ll basically become a leader, people will respect you. They’ll be asking for your help and best of all, you’ll make lots of money. That’s what you want, right?

You see the best way about making money online is that you don’t even have to have your own products. You can sell someone else’s products for commission . How about that? Main thing is to be focused on one specific thing.

Do Some Basic Research

I never made any research when I started. I thought, what are these people talking about? I’m not starting multinational corporation. Well, later on I realized that before you can make any money you need to do some very basic research on the Internet.So you see, doing some market research will help you so much. All what you need to do is to use basic tools, which are free, and believe me, you’ll save yourself lots of money and time.

Simply find out what people want.Once you have determined what they want, if you do not already have a product created to meet their needs create one. Remember what they have told you and use the desires of their hearts as your blueprint to create an excellent information product.

Act As An Expert

Your job as the expert is to provide the answers to the questions that your target market is asking. You answer their questions with your products and you will be seen as an expert by them. You can also become qualified as an expert by creating a blog about your niche market. You can have your readers post their questions on your blog.

Answer their questions on your blog and they will also begin to view you in a different light. This will prove to them that you care about what they have to say. People buy more easily when they trust the person they are buying from. A blog is a great way to create an atmoshpere of trust.

You can also build a great deal of rapport with your market in this way as well. You can get to know your market on your blog and they can get to know you. An excellent method to implement to accomplish this is simply to be open with your life. Talk about your family and life on the blog and you will find that your market is more likely to talk about their family.

So there you go making money online is this simple. But this is just theory, later on I show you how to actually implement this theory into the practise. Don’t Worry I won’t let you wonder around what to do next.
