Learn The “Why” Behind Internet Marketing

If you are not having much success online, I want you to answer ONE simple question.

Here is the question:

WHY DO PEOPLE WANT…?

…sorry, for the incomplete question, but that is the point. Now apply this question to your niche.

Why do people want to lose weight, make additional income, quit smoking, get a new car, go on vacation…

If you can answer the “WHY” behind marketing any industry, I can assure you will have given it enough thought to succeed with any campaign you launch. I think that you will also discover that there are several answers to this question within any specific industry, and this is where you can start catering to smaller niches.

Let’s just take a look at a couple examples:

**Weight Loss

Why do people want to lose weight? I am sure there are several reasons. 

(1) To promote Good Health may be the primary reason.

(2) They may want to fit into a bathing suit for the upcoming summer weather.

(3) They may want to improve their dating life and or impress someone special.

(4) New years may have just passed and losing weight could be their resolution. 

And this list could go on and on……

If you read into this industry,  things that may not seem so apparent initially, but will become quite obvious fairly quickly. You could easily promote this industry using these four reasons with very targeted campaigns. I can assure that a campaign based on the reasons mentioned would be much more effective than trying promote to people under a general keyword term like “DIETING”!!!!!

**Making Additional Income

Why do people want to make an additional income? Well, the obvious reasons would be so that they can have more freedom, and spend more. Eventhough may be true, are we answering the real question here?

People may want to make additional income because they have just lost their job. People want additonal income because they may need to get out of debt. People may want more money because they hate their day jobs. People want more money because they don’t want to work forever. People want to make money so when they retire they do not need to depend on social security. People want to make money to help with tuition fees or for extra money while they go to school.

If you promote the term “make money” in Google, you are not targeting an audience…you are targeting a market. You need to target a specific audience if you plan to be a successful Internet Marketer. People typing in a term like “make money” will not reveal which audience they represent. A college student might Google a keyword phrase like “easy way to pay tuition bills” or “earn money while going to school”. If you can construct a targeted site for college students, you could really tap into this niche market…

If anyone is having difficulty creating a successful campaign, they should think about the “why” before promoting to the audience. If you cannot figure this out, then chances are that you will not be able to deliver the right information to the right people. If this is the case, stop what you are doing and move on to the next industry!

“Forced Money” System Just Released! Taking Web By Storm

Dr. Jon Cohen II has created a new system that will work in unison with his “Get Google Ads Free” masterpiece, that is destined to pour heavy streams of cash to his affiliates that get on board early enough. He has devised a “new” kind of website. One that “FORCES” M0NEY into your pocket! And it’s taking the web by storm.

The great Doctor has eliminated the days where you were left with just a “chance” on
your side when it came to making M0NEY on the Internet. You can rest assure that this system will generate large income streams right into your bank account.

A brand new “technology” has been developed that guarantees you that websites will pay you by “F0RCE!” Other than putting a gun to people’s heads and making them take their
money out of their wallets and pay you without choice, this new technology has the same impact. With exception of you going to jail for a very long time…

A spokesperson for the Doctors NYC based firm boasted proudly:

“Imagine the Worldwide-Web as an ocean of M0NEY … our new technology merely makes a way for YOU to be able to dig a big trench from that ‘cash-sea’ directly into your backyard!”

And that’s obviously a pretty amazing feat to say the very least!

This system provides people with a webpage that’s NOT ordinary by any means! The webpage “captures” a huge segment of the daily visitors it receives and winds up upselling them repeatedly with a predictable conversion each and every time! In addition, the webpage has a “built-in” device that allows it to generate “free traffic” without end! So to sum it all up, you get free traffic, along with a predictable steady stream of sales conversions. In a nutshell you get a guaranteed source of endless income!

Additionally, the webpage you get already contains a PROVEN digital product that no online marketer can live without, and one that is delivered where all your orders are filled automatically by another firm on your behalf. (*All at no costs!). A video feature has been added to your webpage which assists you in making a visual illustration of the product to your visitors, creating an irresistible offer so that people will surrender their contact
information, and which also becomes a VAST double-optin list!

This list is maintained by yet another separate online firm on your behalf, and that has the HIGHEST track record for getting over 98% deliverability for follow-up emailings (the same that convert another 378% more sales for you!)

Let’s itemize all of this information. You get the following:

o An amazing website!
o A website that converts sales automatically!
o A website that puts “forced” money directly into your
pocket!
o A website that’s run by another firm for you (at N0 charge!)
o A website that continues to promote for you over & over!
o A website that grows & cultivates a proven list!
o A website that functions automatically (so you never run
it!)
o And a website that you get Free H0STING for!

Is there anything else you can think of that should have been included?

Here are just a few examples of the successes people are having using this “Forced Money” breakthrough system:

—> “Lisa C.” Got $44,047 In Just 97 Days

—> “Jay R.” Got $102,033 In Just 32 Days

—> “Cal W.” Got $317,951 In Just 17 Days

I’m sorry! But these numbers looked like there were selling a pipe dream. I needed to see this for myself. That is why I purchased the system, and after seeing the blueprint I am convinced that anybody can do this!

Without wasting another moment of your time, why not go to the new site that shows you how you can get this system for yourself for next to nothing..

*WARNING*

They are only giving away a very limited number of these “forced money” websites. So do not hesitate. Time is of the essence.

Month End Recap- Just My Thoughts and Progress!

As you can see, last month was pretty slow on the POSTING end of things. Becoming a new Internet Marketer, Affiliate Marketer, Blogger, Website Builder, is not an easy thing. Even though I would love to see this blog flourish and grow into a PR7 Blog site one day, I would be happy with a PR 2 level rating right now. At least it would be a step in the right direction. So much of my day is spent just trying to educate myself with all the keys to Internet Marketing, and then trying to implement what I am learning. After a while you start feeling like I your spinning around in circles making no progress because of the inability to execute all of tasks that need to be completed as quickly as you would like. It dawned on me today that the end of May came and I only contributed two posts during the month. So I said to myself I need to be more consistent with my writing. While trying to decide on a topic is not easy at times, I found myself surfing some of the major on-line money blogs (e.g www.JohnCow.com) to see if I could get any ideas for this fetus of a blog that really has not even been born yet. It is my intent to continue on this quest of education and task completion until I have achieved satisfactory results. So that being said; I decided to just share last months progress. Going forward I will dedicate the first post of the month to recap my progress or any milestones obtained. At least I will not have to search for a worthy topic to write about once out of the month.

Most of May 2008 has been spent learning to use Squidoo as a marketing tool. As you can see I dedicated a post this month, solely on optimizing a Squidoo lens, and I am glad to say that I accomplished what I set out to do. Squidoo lenses are is going to play a major role with my marketing efforts. They are fairly easy to put together and they are FREE. I don’t need to purchase any domain names nor hosting accounts, and I can take advantage of the SEO favor granted to Squidoo from the search engines to generate high ranking pages. So far this month I generated two lenses that got indexed on the first page of Googles organic listings.

The key going into the month of June, is going to be based on searching for Niches. To become successful at this game we all need Niches to promote, and lots of them. Find out what people want, and find out where they are looking for those products. In layman terms what keyword tags are being used. If you can achieve a certain degree of success at finding HOT Niches and then create a powerful platform to offer the product in demand to your Niche, then we have done the hardest work.

Remember we have a choice of various arena’s that we can set up our promotion platforms. Your own website or blog is nice to have but you can definitely exploit other powerful platforms such as Squidoo, Ebay and PayPerClick advertising. I tend to prefer the FREE methods available to me especially if I am experimenting with something new. Paid advertising can get pretty expensive especially if you do not now if your sales are going to convert. Therefore, you can use article marketing to help promote your Niche and take full advantage of highly targeted FREE traffic that would be generated from your platform. Now we can just gauge and measure how to close the deal. So I’m going to be hitting the trenches, and I will be sure to share what I find with you. Until my next writing! Happy Marketing .

Optimizing Your Squidoo Lens

Introduction

Advertising to your Niche doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg in Pay Per Click costs. Not when we have a monster of a tool like Squidoo, that provides you with a free registration, and the ability to pump out lens after lens without fees or costs attached. What else can an Internet Marketer ask for, with a tool like Squidoo at their disposal. Let me tell you something! The Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN love Squidoo’s ability to provide their customers with highly relevant results for their search efforts. They are highly ranked as a PR7 blog site, which means you have the opportunity to get exposure to anything imaginable if you know how to get your lens recognized.

What is a lens? A lens is simply your personalized landing page provided by Squidoo. You can add whatever content you please to the lens and tag it with keywords that identify what the lens is about. Remember that word RELEVANCE, it is very important. If your tags are not highly relevant to your content, then your lens will be less likely recognized by traffic, and therefore you can write off the chance of any search engine ranking. It just ain’t gonna happen. To put it in a nutshell, all we need to do is learn how to become efficient article marketers using Squidoo. Article marketing with Squidoo is a great starting point for any Internet marketers. It can help you earn the seed money that will allow to invest in other components of your business, or allow you to earn a continual stream of income from your articles.

Optimization

Optimizing your Squidoo Lens is no different than optimizing a standard landing page.

The Rule of Thumb is as follows:

1. Relevant Headlines for each Module

2. “Call to Action” links using your Affiliate links or personal website links.

3. Break up text with relevant images

4. AVOID using long paragraphs of text without links or images, or breaks in between.

5. Un-Max your lens so that your article content is the focus of your page.

6. Add fresh content to page by adding an RSS feed module.

Tags

Tags to your lens are just as important as adwords are to your PPC campaigns. As I mentioned before, tags describe what your lens is about. This is the main reason why Squidoo articles get picked up by the Search engines under the keywords that you choose to write the article about.

Maxing Your Lens

Is it a good idea? There is a debate about “Maxing” your lens. Maxing lenses does nothing for your marketing efforts. It will create other links to appear throughout your lens that are related to your lens topic and work as a distraction to your lens traffic to click out and go to someone else’s link. I hate to sound greedy, but I want all my traffic to myself as possible. Therefore, I recommend you scroll down the right hand side of the page under “Lens Stats” and un-check the “Maxed” box. If you see “Why Max” then leave it alone.

Monetizing Your Lens

Highly optimized lenses can generate streams of income. With Squidoo the more you have the better. Remember! They are free to create, and not every lens you make is going to generate income. I suggest if you are new to Squidoo, get comfortable with creating a lens and learn how to use the the social networks, forums and even your personal friends to help drive traffic to your lens. Your objective should be to get quality comments in your Guest-book, get your traffic to Favorite your lens, Lensroll it, and Rate it. All of these actions will help make your lens rank soar above the rest. It is also recommended to share your lens on the social networks. Setting up links on sites like Digg.com, and StumbleUpon.com, and the like can help drive backlinks into your lens.

More and more traffic is the bottom line. A consistent traffic flow into your lens will push up your rank and get those income streams to open up. You have the power to turn on those streams as high as you desire.

I hope you found this information useful.

“Traffic Kahuna” Is It The Answer To The IM’s Prayers

I was recently browsing a blog that I normally get some very useful information from, and found a writing that was promoting a traffic network called Traffic Kahuna. After reading this writeup I was very intrigued to say the least. It was stated that Traffic Kahuna would give you the most quality back links and highly targeted traffic you can find with any other solution.

Traffic Kahuna Promises:

1. content submitted to hundreds of relevant blogs and websites (HUGE time saver!!)
2. targeted traffic back to your site
3. very quickly increase search engine rankings
4. improved page rank

It sounds great but does it work? Well it to soon to tell! I just became affiliated but stay tuned and I will let you know of my progress. They opened this membership to only 800 people which looks like it sold it in less than 48 hours. So either I am just one of another 799 other suckers that got sold on another great sales pitch or I may have stumbled upon another great power tool to promote my internet marketing ventures.

About Traffic Kahuna’s Brief History

Traffic Kahuna was “recently released” to the public, but back in Jan 2008 it was released to a small group of 100 people as a test. It was a way to work out any kinks in the system and to ensure it delivered what it promised.

The results were incredible! You can read about the results of this at the Traffic Kahuna site.

Lets Take A Closer Look!

Traffic Kahuna opened the gate to a community of 1268 webmasters and 663 Blog Owners to instantly promote your Websites, sending you unlimited FREE Highly-Targeted Traffic that comes with one-way links at anytime. Publish your articles and videos whenever you want for only $147.00/mo. More than likely it will be a few months before they open the doors again and you can rest assure that the price will be increased.

Facts

Traffic Kahuna represents a network of hundreds of websites and blogs that are begging for your content and ready and willing to provide back links for your site or blog.
Your job is to simply submit an article or smaller snips of content to the network with your back links in place and the Traffic Kahuna people take care of the rest. Each submission is personally reviewed and syndicated out to websites or blogs that are relevant to the content you submitted.

Different From The Rest

The main difference is that the Traffic Kahuna team has done something the others have failed to do. They have done everything on the up and up from an SEO / GOOGLE perspective.

1. NO Black Hat / No Grey Hat techniques
2. All blogs and websites in network are from real individual owners
3. Blogs and websites are spread across the web and NOT on a single IP address (because they are real from real individual owners)
4. The only techniques used are real PURE WHITE HAT techniques that will not get your business in trouble with Google or anyone else.

PRO’s and CON’s

It looks like all PRO’s with no CON’s. If you have a blog or website making even a little bit of money each month then you will probably benefit greatly from this tool. If your traffic were to triple, quadruple or more then you would expect your sales to do the same.
In most cases the issue is clear cut, the increased traffic, and increased sales would more than cover the cost of the service.

Now even if you don’t have sales and are just starting out, I would suggest it as a great way to start on the fast track. It really will save you enormous amounts of time and effort while building traffic.

I guess you will just have to wait for the next opening. Stay tuned! If I hear of any news in the future I will be sure to share it with you. In the mean time I will definitely share my feedback and experience to truly give this power tool my official seal of approval.

Whatever the mind can perceive that you would need for success is at your finger tips at Wealthy Affiliate.  I can’t even touch the tip of the iceberg of what kind of value you get with this membership in this post. But I can tell you is the wealth of information you get in the tutorials they have mapped out for you in their in 8 week action plan and the amount of information you get from their members forums is enough to earn a PHD in Internet Marketing. They really provide you with every tool under sun that one needs to become sucessful as an Affiliate Marketer. The only challenge you face is staying focused and not distracted with all of the information that is literally thrown at you all at the same time. The best way I was able to manage the complexity of my puzzle was to target a specific course that outlined what I needed to do and when in a systematic order. Lets face it! That is all we really need. If you have a resource like Wealthy Affiliate keeping you up to date with all of the changes on the marketing end and a map to get you to your destination, it will only be a matter of time before your hear the sweet sound of your pay pal account ringing and uttering the words ” You Have Arrived At Your Destination“.

Only the strong and highly determined will be standing at the end of the day, because most people get frustrated and give up before they are able to find their niche to success.
