Don’t You Hate eBooks?

Guest post written by Michael-John Wolfe

I am so tired of searching for ways to make money online only to stumble upon hundreds of different “sales landing pages” that offer me their fantastic ebook! You’ve seen these websites, they promise you thousands of dollars per month – ONLY after you pay $49 or $99 for their downloadable ebook. If you are like me, you’ve taken the bait on more than just a few of these. Then you get the ebook only to learn that their “system” is way more complicated or difficult then advertised. You wind up giving up and they get your $49. Fun times!

The purpose of this article is to inform you about an ebook that I have found that actually works. (No, I don’t want your $49) The ebook tells you how to write articles that earn some pretty good money on eHow. If you have a good grasp of the English language and you can write fairly well, you can learn how to make a few hundred bucks a month. Are you going to make thousands? No. In fact, I currently make just under $200 every month on eHow from what I learned in this ebook. It hasn’t made me rich – but these earnings pay my cable bill, electric bill and trash bill every month. In this economy, every little bit helps. Without this ebook, these articles would still be generating money – more likely about $25 a month. (The ebook only costs $25 – so you make your money back in one month of eHow earnings.) The best part is that this is true residual income, I did the writing of these articles months ago – and I haven’t written a thing in a months, yet I am still getting paid each month.

So, what’s in it for me? Why I am telling you about this ebook? Because I have created a blog called Residuals and Royalties and I have spent the last year researching legitimate ways to make money online. I am hoping that this article will generate some traffic to my blog. On my Residuals and Royalties blog, you can see actual screen shots of my eHow earnings and if you still don’t believe me you can check out my actual eHow profile. These earnings are a direct result of the tips I learned in this ebook.

How many of you know the power of article marketing? Article marketing is a way that promotes your product or site by writing articles and submitting them to article directories or others' blog. If you just promote your product in your blog, you will only get minimum exposure, but if you promote your product by writing in others' blog or article directories, you could get maximum exposure. I found this quite effective when it comes to promoting product. Guest posting is one of the type of article marketing, just like what I do in this blog.

2) Knowing Your Product Well
You may need to know your product well before promoting it to your visitors. You need to show your readers that you've actually tried the product and found this quite useful, this increases the trust from your readers. So, you need to know what you're trying to sell to your readers, instead of promoting them blindly, it's not working at all. Of course, it's a plus if you could write a full review about the product that you're promoting.

3) Fire Up Your Email List
Many people are trying to build up their email list by using email autoresponder services such as Aweber and RevResponse. They get up to 5 sales out of the 100 emails that they've sent out, that's considered a good conversion. But this might not work if you don't know the technique of building a strong email list, I suggest you to learn some email marketing technique from this blog or others' blog.

4) Choosing The Right Pay Per Lead Program Network
There are many pay per lead program networks out there, so you need to choose it wisely, choosing the wrong network might waste all of your time in promoting them. If you get to know about a pay per lead affiliate program network, try to search their review on Google search engine, you might get some useful review about them, choose the one that someone had their successful story.

How to Make Money With Both Big and Small Websites

Guest Post by SR Connell

One of the greatest implied conflicts in the "make money online" community is the debate whether we should focus on creating small "niche" websites or larger "flagship" websites. As someone who has found success in both niches, I've found the debate to be completely wrong-founded.

This article will introduce you to the two most popular website business models, and will compare them for you to choose.

Small Niche Websites

A small niche website is a website that has just a few dozen articles and is written to rank well for a very specific niche. For example, I built a website that details the basics of information dealing with short term loans.

The website details the basics of student, personal and business short term loans. It isn't amazing. The content isn't breathtaking. But I still make $20 per day.

That website is geared towards the search engines specifically. I focus on content and links -- and that's it. By focusing on writing a good 20-30 articles, you have enough content to rank in Google. By building links, you'll be increasing your ability to rank in Google as well as the other search engines.

The total amount of time to build a website is less than 2 days if you're a fast writer. The time to build links depends, but I usually spend about a month working on a new niche site.

The income is usually limited. I usually make no more than $5-10 per day per website, with the exception of the short-term loan site. But when you build 20 or so small niche websites, you have a relatively easy income stream.

Here are the reasons people like to try small niche websites:

-You don't have to constantly update
-You don't have to constantly manage comments
-You don't have to build links for years
-You can expand as you see fit

Large Flagship Websites

Large websites are different from the small niche websites. They aren't written only for the search engines, but are wired specifically for people. The goal is to get a large following of people to read the website. These readers will give you a huge level of traffic every day.

An example would be my How to Make Money Online website. My biggest money-making page is the affiliate page, where I help others make a few hundred per day who aren't looking to actually create a website.

You make money specifically by selling products, placing ads on the website, etc. You don't make much per visitor, but the theory is that with enough traffic, you can still pull a profit.

The idea is that you generate traffic by writing and publishing fantastic content every single day. Some blogs publish literally 5-10 articles per day, trying to shock and awe the Internet into gathering them a great income and following.

-It takes a lot more work
-It takes more time to succeed
-The competition is usually worse
-But the payoff can be lucrative

This is where most people earn millions online -- by publishing a flagship website in a competitive and high-paying niche.

Conclusion

There you have it. If you are willing to work harder to get the money, a flagship website might be for you. Of course, if you're just starting out a niche website is probably the best bet. I have used both and both methods work just as well in the long run -- it's really just up to you.

Creating a High Quality Customer Base for Surefire Affiliate Marketing Success

Building up a valuable email list is the very first step on the road to successful affiliate marketing. As an intelligent affiliate marketing, you are not resuming to send out numerous emails to a bunch of ordinary email addresses. It is preferable and more efficient to send emails to targeted prospects. Follow the next 4 tips to professionally build up a high quality email list.

- Build your landing page
A landing page is among the most efficient and successful tools in affiliate marketing. A landing page enables you to gather email addresses of prospects interested in your products or in what you have to offer. One method to get those email addresses is to offer them something for free. Among the things you can offer them for free are for example, online courses, e-books or special reports closely related to the targeted niche market.

- Redirect Subscribers to your Affiliate’s Link
Normally, you are waiting and wishing for your visitors to click on your affiliate links! You could eliminate that by redirecting them via your landing page to your affiliate site. However, this is considered to be a pushy marketing method that many visitors just hate, because they want to decide whether to click on your link or not.

It is preferable to use this method, if your affiliate website has for example related articles that are not considered spam. Instead, if you are marketing a particular niche market, that is well-known for detesting spam, it is recommended to simply place a link to your affiliate website.

- Efficiently manage your follow-up emails
It is essential to know how to distribute the emails you send out in a week, with maximum efficiency. You should not send message to your email list too frequently, as you will just irritate them, being considered spam and put on a blocked list. For best results, it is highly recommended to have a break of three or four days between your messages. It is also wise to have your messages contain something useful and valuable. You will not reach far as an affiliate marketer with clear advertising messages.

- Test your Landing Page’s efficiency
It is recommended to change from time to time the content of your landing page, as they are not normally ranked by the different search engines. You should build a couple of different landing pages and use them in rotation to evaluate how well are the visitors responding to them, which one of them have a higher response rate. Experiment different keywords and visual elements. Affiliate marketing specialists are saying that straightforward landing pages with professional look are producing the best results.

The above tips have to be taken in consideration when planning to build up your very own email list containing a valuable prospects list to use a long time fro now on for your successful long term business. Learn how to use it, apply it in your strategy and you will see the superior results.

Twitter or Blogging for Internet Marketing?

Rather than being faced with the choice of whether to use a blog or social networking to promote your website, service or product there is another solution. You can have both your blog and twitter run simultaneously as twitter is mainly a micro blogging site. Twitter supports tweets of user posts on any topic with a maximum of 140 characters and thus can never replace original blogs. A smart internet marketing strategy is to announce to your followers that your original blog had been updated by tweet and derive SEO benefit from combining the use of both platforms.

Now with a basic understanding of what the site is all about, let’s see what is achievable with twitter. After signing up at twitter, update your profile page with your information and website link. You can start posting posts and make it act like a mini advertising blog. You can post at any minute of the day and your post gets updated instantly. Follow fellow bloggers of your niche, can meet new people, post and Retweet other interesting news that you want to share with you followers. Hence the term social networking where members can use the work of others users to help their own profile and marketing agenda.

A good suggestion is to maintain good relationships with fellow twitter users and use it to improve your communication skills. Not even an internet connection is not necessarily needed because twitter has a feature that enables you receive tweets to your mobile and you can also update your posts through your mobile and even IM.

The most common mistakes people make while using twittering are, using auto DM (direct message) feature in the wrong way, spamming the inbox of followers, mass following, posting tweets only to promote their business, not using real profile pictures or vague profile information. Avoid these errors in order to achieve maximum potential from social networking media like twitter.

Irrespective of the increasing widespread usage of twitter, there are also some limitations to twitter. The 140 characters limited text support in each individual post id is obviously the major one. This does not allow posting of very detailed or descriptive posts and also, you are further restricted to using simple code structure to reply to your tweets.

The key to micro blogging is people learning creativity and to be able to appeal to readers from what is only a summarization of the information they wish to convey. For those that master this skill then twitter is going to be amazingly effective for internet marketing purposes. Write short and catchy posts and you can find people retweeting your posts if it’s interesting. Twitter can also be used with most of the IM clients such as yahoo and Google talk. All you need to do is with the help of a few tools, add the id in your friend list and whenever you send an IM, it gets updated as the post to your twitter account.

After time spent in the building followers stage this will now help provide instant promotion to a highly niche targeted list. Twitter can be used for any purpose but always remember to respond to tweets, update your posts, follow people and make good conversation with followers.
