Guest post by Roxanne Manning

There has been tons of talk the last few years in internet marketing circles concerning flipping websites and for good reason. Flipping websites is a really simple way to earn money online. With so many grand promises of big money with minimal work, flipping websites really is a very straight forward and fairly easy way to make money. If you can write a few articles, create a Wordpress blog on your own domain name, then you are on your way. Add content to your site, monetize it and then flip it. The more money you can generate prior to selling it, the higher your asking price will be.

But what about people who can handle content creation but know absolutely nothing about website development and who aren’t comfortable with Wordpress? Is there a way for them to successfully flip websites? The answer is a resounding yes. They can write the content themselves and then read the free Wordpress blog installation tutorials available on the Internet. One blog tutorial site that is very useful for beginner is becomeablogger.com. It provides 10 free tutorials that teach you everything you need to know to set up a Wordpress blog successfully.

You can change the look and design of your Wordpress blog any time without paying a single dime. There are many free Wordpress templates online that have very attractive designs and are appropriate for a number of subjects. Simply download the blog template and upload it to your blog and your blog will have a new look.

If you still need help in the technical aspect, consider using some of the top freelance websites to find freelancer to assist you. Internet marketing forums are another great place to find people that can help you with your Wordpress blog.

It is suggested that you do some research about the best plugins to use for your blog. If you commit a couple of hours to researching the best way to build your blogs, this will be a skill set that you can use for a long time.

Next, make sure that you have your blog monetized. Go to Clickbank and find a few hot affiliate products and copy their banner codes to your blog. If someone else is managing your blog, then send them the code. You may also want to use text links in lieu of a banner. Add Adsense in strategic spots for an additional source of income.

Advertise your blog using traditional internet marketing methods such as press releases, articles, pay-per-click and social networking websites to build traffic and incoming links for your blog. Then sell it for about 6-9 months revenue. If you create several blogs, you can sell them in bulk and make a good amount of money.

There is a lot of money to be made in flipping blogs. That’s it. With this information, you can start making money with Wordpress blogs immediately. Remember, it will require that you be able to generate some traffic and income. However, once you do that, you may start selling it to a buyer who wants to purchase a website that is already making money.

How to Use Social Bookmarks for Internet Marketing

Guest Post by Chester Chen

There are millions of sites out there and it is impossible to remember all of them. But who says you have to remember them. But who says you have to remember them? You can bookmark it using Del.icio.us and come back later.

Social bookmark is an excellent way to share any blog post or videos that you find interesting. Internet marketers and search engine specialists know this very well and they have spent a considerable amount of time to leverage the system for their business.

There are hundreds of social bookmarking sites available out there and it would probably take more than a few hours just to submit them to 100 of social bookmarking sites. You might not have the time to do it yourself so how do you still get the backlinks for your sites? Simple, just outsource it to specialist who is providing social bookmarketing service. They might have the network of friends who will like your story and help to increase your rating.

A backlink from social bookmark is considered as a do-follow link and this increase your ranking score on search engines. If done correctly, you target audiences will bookmark your website too and your backlinks will increase exponentially.

You can take advantage of social bookmarks by using your targeted keyword for the bookmarks title. This is an excellent way for you to increase your link popularity.

You need to be creative with your title and tag your website with your targeted keywords. So this will lead other to your website when they type in your keywords. This can be the difference of having a number of backlinks from your own bookmarks o massive and instant traffic to your sites. This can help you to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars from paying for PPC campaigns just to get targeted traffic to your sites.

But you will have to make sure your submission is relevant. Don't even think of spamming your own links because that might be counter-productive. You are given about 100 words in the description section but that doesn't mean your should include your keywords more that once on it.

Other members might not be happy with what you're doing and flag your submission. You don't want that to happen because it could be getting your account suspended.

Internet marketers understand the power of social bookmarks and they will not hesitate to outsource the dirty job of building backlinks from these sites. After all, it is impossible to do it by yourself when you have 20 blogs that you update on daily basis.

Social bookmarks can also be a great source for you to find relevant information that you can use to grow your business. Who knows you might stumble upon a site that provides WordPress olugin that you don't even know for your search engine optimization campaign.

Duplicatable Systems Are a Must Have For Network Marketers

Guest Post by Greg Mangin

It's an unfortunate truth that a person cannot be duplicated. Your unique blend of personality, skill, expertise, and persuasion makes you a successful salesperson. But you can't clone your traits and pass them on to your protégés. Instead, you have to find or develop a duplicatable system that can be used again and again for repeated success for all of the network marketers in your downline.

Why is a duplicatable system so important? Think of the outdated network marketing model that began with your friends and family. Marketers were advised to recruit the people they knew and loved. But this made for some awkward and uncomfortable moments on both sides. What if the marketer's friends and family weren't interested in the venture? Would they cause tension by saying, "Thanks, but no thanks"? What if they signed on because they felt obligated, but their hearts weren't in it? Plus, this system is very limited. Once you run out of friends and family, what do you do? Become a salesperson making cold calls, that's what.

Now let's compare that model to a duplicatable system of the past. It used to be a popular strategy to hand out audio tapes at network marketing seminars. Why? Because that approach took advantage of targeted marketing; that is, the people who were being marketed to already had a proven interest in network marketing, or else they wouldn't have been at the seminar. Targeted marketing has a proven advantage over cold calling or other non-targeted approaches.

Secondly, the audio tape tactic was duplicatable. Anyone could record an audio tape full of useful information to be distributed. And anyone could accept such a tape, listen to it, and decide to join in on the action. It was a convenient strategy that didn't turn marketers into uncomfortable salespeople. It worked.

Fast forward to the era of Web 2.0 marketing. If you want to be a success, you've got to have a system with a proven success rate. It's not enough to build a web site and hope that people will visit it; you've got to entice them into stopping by, browsing around, and, eventually, signing up. If readers see valuable content on your site, they'll spend more time there and they will return - with friends. So be sure to give them something valuable as a reward. One popular duplicatable system involves e-book downloads.

Picture it: a reader stops by your site and sees a link to a free download. They read through a quick preview of the e-book's contents and decide that it sounds like a good way to spend their time. They download the e-book, read it, and get blown away by the specific helpful advice they find inside. Hyped up by what they read, they return to your site and leave comments, ask questions in the message forum, or share helpful information of their own. Now you've got a lead on someone who really wants the help you have to offer. Get a dialogue going, get them recruited, and share your system with them.

Doesn't that sound a lot better than hitting up friends and family members? Not everyone can work up the courage to tap a cold market, but anyone can post a link to an e-book on their blog or web site. Your recruits will use the same system to recruit others, building your downline and theirs in a replicating system of income. That's the beauty of a duplicatable system in action, and that's why you need one now.
