This article concerns your legal obligations and rights concerning the
maintenance of a mailing list and in particular the sending of
commercial email. It is a tricky subject. You might even think that it
is something which does not affect you, but if you have seen what is
currently happening on the internet, and what is going to happen in the
not so distant future, then you will also know that to ignore these
developments would be to put yourself at unnecessary risk.
In the United States of America, the Federal Trade Commission has
already prosecuted a number of well known internet marketers for non
compliance of internet law, and these actions are bound to spread
worldwide.
In January 2004, the Draconian California email laws came into force
which immediately started to shake up the online business community, and
in early December 2003 similar laws were introduced in England and
elsewhere in the European Union.
Does any of this mean anything to you so far? If it doesn't then we've
got news for you. Saying that you know nothing about these laws will not
protect you. Just as with all other types of law, ignorance is no
defence.
Here are a couple of questions to ponder:
Do you have your own website, whether personal or commercial?
Do you operate an online magazine (ezine) or mailing list?
Do you have a list of contacts that you send messages to periodically?
If you manage a website do you:
* have a Privacy Policy in place?
* have a Terms of Use document in place?
* have a Purchase Agreement in place for every item you sell (for commercial sites)?
* have an Affiliate Agreement in place (if you run an Affiliate Programme)?
If you operate an ezine or mailing list of any kind:
* do you send messages containing advertisements, whether promoting your products or services, or those of third parties?
If yes, do you have the direct consent of your subscribers to send such messages?
I realise that is a lot to be thinking about. But you should be thinking
about it, because the world of internet commerce is going through a BIG
shake-up. The authorities say it is all to do with clamping down on
spammers and scamsters, but if you are otherwise honest and scrupulous
in your dealings you could still fall foul of these new laws simply by
not being seen to comply. So what can you do to comply?
You can start off by taking a serious look at the way you run your
mailing list. Are you absolutely sure that each and every subscriber has
given their direct consent for you to send them commercial email
messages? What do we mean by direct consent?
Let's tackle this by looking at what direct consent is NOT.
For example, you operate a mailing list for subscribers who want to know
about updates to your site and/or products. On occasion you send these
people a message advertising a product or service for which you are an
affiliate.
Just because these people are on your mailing list does not give you the
express right to send them an advertisement. What you would need to do
would be to make it clear, at the time they subscribe, that they will be
receiving commercial messages from time to time. And having your
subscribers simply click a check box does NOT amount to them giving
their direct consent.
You may run an ezine that includes advertisements. But have the
subscribers given their direct consent for you to send them ads from
third parties? Yes, it really is getting that nit-picky and you will
have to work out how to go about getting their consent. Perhaps the most
efficient way would be to adopt a double optin policy and be totally
upfront from the outset regarding the kind of material you are likely to
be sending your subscribers.
As for your website, you will need more detailed documents in place in
order to cover yourself legally. As stated earlier, these MUST include a
Privacy Policy and a Terms of Use to cover you for the use and content
of your site, whether it is just a simple personal home page or a full
blooded online store.
If you run a commercial site, you will need a Purchase Agreement for
every separate product or service you offer, in addition to the other
two pages already mentioned.

How To Attract Prospects To Your Business Magnetically
A magnet has the properties to attract certain metals, and a magnetic
person has the qualities, talents, or skills to attract others in a
magnetic like manner.
In the world of network marketing, how can someone acquire that type of personality, how can someone become a magnetic sponsor, and develop a large base of customers using magnetic like attributes?
Before I answer that question, read this quote:
"Nobody who bought a drill actually wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. Therefore, if you want to sell drills, you should advertise information about making holes - NOT information about drills!" - Perry Marshall
There is a lot of meaning behing this quote, but in a few words it contains the secret to becoming a highly successfull magnetic sponsor.
Would you rather spend $200 bucks on a drill, or first get free or inexpensive information to learn how to operate that drill properly and effectively? If you are like me, I am sure you would first learn more about how you can make a good hole with this tool before making that kind of purchase.
Would you rather buy from a salesperson who insists that his/her drill is the best tool for what you want to do? I wouldn't. Because I don't like to be sold, and I don't like people to pitch their sales number on me.
Would you rather buy from a person who gave you free information or inexpensive information on how to properly operate, and get the best results from that tool, and who did not try to pitch a drill on you?
Again, if you are like me, you would buy from a person who first took the time to educate you on how to make that hole proper. In your mind, this person is an expert in his/her field, he/she knows what he/she is talking about. So you sell yourself on buying that drill from him/her.
This is what many network marketers keep doing, they keep pitching their opportunities on their family, friends, relatives, and get all hyped up on the net, on their ads, and every one they encounter. But guess what? People do not care about your business opportunity, what they care about is a solution to their problems. In other words, you did not buy a business opportunity (drill) because you wanted one. You wanted a solution (hole) for more free time to spend with your family, be your own boss, earn a living online, or get rich, etc..
So, what you need to do instead of pitching your opportunity to your prospects, is to sell them inexpensive or give away free information that shows how to solve problems - how to drill that "hole."
If you can show them how to make that "hole", your prospects will come to the conclusion on their own without you pounding hard on them that they need a drill from you. Why? Because you gave them free knowledge or inexpensive information on how to accomplish their goal, and therefore earning their trust in you.

New Google Blog Search is Great Marketing News for Business Podcasts, Blogs and RSS Feed Publishers
Google just introduced Blog Search in beta yesterday. This new search
function allows for you to search the internet for Blogs, Podcasts and
RSS feeds. You simply type in your keywords and it will show you results
that have come from these sources.
The results they display are not showing any preferences to Blogs that are published on Blogger. We are seeing results for all Blogging platforms. Actually Google Blog Search is not just looking at Blogs. They are looking for any RSS feed, which might be from a Blog, Podcast, or any other XML feed. It appears that the search tool is pretty responsive and we are seeing results show up in a matter of hours after a new post is made to the RSS Blog and Podcast Feed. This is another way that you can create online visibility for your business.
The organic results are sorted by relevancy, but you have the option to sort them by date as well. This is especially nice if you want to locate the latest post for a fast breaking news topic and want to find it quickly in the blogosphere. The other thing that Google has done is to try to eliminate some of the "noise" and Spam of the blogosphere. They are looking at high quality Blogs and show them at the top of the page under what is called "Related Blogs". This is prime real estate for your Blog to be listed in.
As an example: Go to the new Google Blog search ( http://blogsearch.google.com ) and type in podcasting tips. The results that are shown at the top 2 of the 3 Related Blogs happen to be authored by me. You will also see over 1600 results and we have several additional results on the front page. This is because we are writing 6 quality Blogs and publishing quality content frequently to these Blogs. http://blog.podblaze.com
Google currently does not support a manual submission for your Blog feed. I think this is smart, since it keeps the unethical people out of the picture. If you are Blogging or Podcasting properly and following best practices; your feed will be found by Google. Make sure that you are also following best practices for pinging after your feed is updated. This will ensure that your feed is updated by Google.
It looks like Google started to index Blogs, Podcasts and RSS feeds in June of 2005. They are currently not showing posts that were made previous to this. They may change this in the future. Google has found a way to somewhat keep the black hat SEO and unethical Bloggers out of the results. We can all celebrate this; because this means quality and relevant results for searchers.
Podcasters should also take note that individual podcast shows are also being listed in the results. This is a great way for users find your podcasts and individual podcast shows, based upon specific topics and content.
If you are serious about improving your marketing and the online visibility for your business website; then you need to be creating quality content with a quality Blog or Podcast. If your business wants to get maximum exposure in this important new area of Google you should work with professionals that truly understand this technology. You can look at www.leveragedpromotion.com as they have experience with many Blogging, RSS and Podcasting Solutions.

13 Steps to Successful Blogging
Blogs can be a very marketable and very profitable tool if used
correctly. Profiting from blogs is just a matter of grabbing the
attention of an audience and not doing any actual salesmen selling. In
this article you will learn the 13 most essential steps to successful
blogging.
1) Where to start?
You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as Journal Home. I don't say that because I'm the owner, but a free blog host is very rewarding for a new blog. Starting with a free blog hosting service allows you to begin blogging instantly without having any advance knowledge of scripts, hosting, or programming. It allows you to build an audience and buzz for your blog. It allows you to focus on your content and not the internal maintenance of the blog. The best benefit of starting with a free service, is in the case your blog doesn't become successful you do not lose any money or are you left holding the bill. The great thing about a blog is that they are organized in chronological order, your latest entry is displayed first. When your blog traffic grows greatly and you are ready to upgrade to your own domain then you can simply make your last blog entry the announcement of your "move". Simply add a last entry stating that your blog has "moved" and type the new blog URL address. Which directs visitors to your new blog site, keeping your following, without a major inconvenience to anyone. Upgrade as you need to...but only when you need to!
2) Niche
A niche is a targeted product, service, or topic. You should first decide on a product, service, or topic which interest you. Choose an area which you can enthusiastically write about on a daily basis. You can use keyword research services like Google Zeitgeist or Yahoo! Buzz Index to find popular searched topics. It does NOT matter if your topic is popular as long as there is a audience for your topic and the topic is precisely focused then your blog should be successful. Anything can be considered a niche as long as it has a target audience no matter how large or how small the audience is. A blog about your cat can be a niche or a blog about the species of the cat family can be a larger niche market, if there are people who are interested in hearing about your cat or the species of the cat family, then you have a niche...you can even choose to build your audience for a market which an audience does not exist, but first you must build your blog.
3) Update Daily (nothing less)
This step is a must and not a suggestion. Updating your blog daily not only keeps your blog more interesting to readers, but it also gives your blog fresh content on a day to day making it more appealing to search engines. Not updating your blog on an occasional holiday or one day here and there is understandable to most, but missing days at a time or weeks is unacceptable and will most likely result in your blog being unsuccessful. To keep your blog traffic and retain your visitors interest it is a must to update your blog daily with multiple entries. Though, I am seeing a growing trend of successful blogs that are not being updated daily, but they are successful and have a stable audience who continue to visit their blog daily. Regardless, these blogs are still updated weekly with multiple entries. Until you have a steady audience you should try to update your blog everyday with at least 3 or more daily entries. The best way to accomplish this is to set aside 1-2 hours a day for tending to your blog and adding new entries. It may even be wise to schedule a set time which you dedicate to your blog each day. Give yourself work hours and treat your blog as a job, what happens if you don't come to work for days or weeks...you lose money or worse you get fired! Same applies here...if you don't update your blog for days or weeks you'll lose visitors.
4) Traffic
It's no secret. You must have traffic to profit from blogs. There are numerous ways to build traffic. Paid advertising, free advertising, viral marketing, search engine marketing, RSS/XML feeds, and word-of-mouth. You should always use your blog URL address in the signature of your email, forum discussions, message boards, or any other communication media. You should submit your blog URL address to search engines and blog directories. You should submit your RSS/XML URL feed to blog ping services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic, and Blogdigger. You should confidently share your blog with family, friends, co-workers, associates, and business professionals when it relates. Many blogs can be considered as a collection of articles, for this purpose you should submit your blog entries (those that are valuable and lengthy articles) to content syndicators like GoArticles.com or ArticleCity.com. Once submitted your articles can be picked up and published by others. The trick is to make sure you include your Blog URL address in the "About the Author" passage. What this does is create link popularity and backlinks for your blog, when someone picks up your article from the syndication then publish the article on their website the "About the Author" passage is included with each publication and the link you included is followed, crawled, and indexed by search engines. Imagine if your article is popular enough or controversial enough to produce 10,000 publications across the web. The search engines is bound to find your blog in no time with that many publications and credit you a authority on the topic, in return increasing your rank on search engines. The small effort of writing a well written article is rewarding. You should try to write at least 1 full length article every week for syndication and submit your article to at least 10 article syndicators.
5) Track Your Blog
How do you know if your blog has traffic? Just because no one is leaving comments doesn't mean your blog isn't growing. Many visitors do not leave comments but they are returning visitors. I know it sounds crazy but with blogs people are more interested in what "you" have to say! Many visitors do not comment their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time. Some do not comment at all, but are active daily visitors.
Tracking your blog does not have to be overly sophisticated usually a simple free page counter like StatCounter.com or Active Meter will do the trick. Install (copy/paste) the code into the html of your blog template and start tracking your visitors. Its better to use a service which gives you advanced traffic analysis, such as keyword tracking information, referral information, and search engine information. Visitors, returning visitors, and unique visitors should be standard for any page counter service you choose.
6) Listen to Your Audience
When using the proper page counter you should begin to see how others are finding your blog and if through search engines then which keywords are being used to find your blog. If constantly your blog is being found by 1 or more keywords then focus your blog around those keywords to make it even more powerful. When writing entry titles and entries use the keywords as often as possible while keeping the blog legible and interesting.
7) Multiple blogs
Use multiple blogging accounts (free) to attract more people. This means you should have a blog with JournalHome.com and others. The more blog accounts the better (be sure to read and adhere to the Terms of Service for each site). You can copy/paste from 1 blog to all others. Having different blog accounts is like having a publication in different newspapers. This enables you to attract more visitors and this also increases the chance that 1 of your blogs will be in the search engine results for your focused keywords.

How To Attract Prospects To Your Business Magnetically
A magnet has the properties to attract certain metals, and a magnetic

In the world of network marketing, how can someone acquire that type of personality, how can someone become a magnetic sponsor, and develop a large base of customers using magnetic like attributes?

Would you rather buy from a salesperson who insists that his/her drill is the best tool for what you want to do? I wouldn't. Because I don't like to be sold, and I don't like people to pitch their sales number on me.
Would you rather buy from a person who gave you free information or inexpensive information on how to properly operate, and get the best results from that tool, and who did not try to pitch a drill on you?

This is what many network marketers keep doing, they keep pitching their opportunities on their family, friends, relatives, and get all hyped up on the net, on their ads, and every one they encounter.

You wanted a solution (hole) for more free time to spend with your family, be your own boss, earn a living online, or get rich, etc..
So, what you need to do instead of pitching your opportunity to your prospects, is to sell them inexpensive or give away free information that shows how to solve problems - how to drill that "hole."
If you can show them how to make that "hole", your prospects will come to the conclusion on their own without you pounding hard on them that they need a drill from you. Why? Because you gave them free knowledge or inexpensive information on how to accomplish their goal, and therefore earning their trust in you.

Creating A Blog To Promote An Existing Business
If you belong to any of the following groups, then this article is for you.
Success in these fields depends on one essential principle which you
might have already realized: traffic is the key to your online business
thriving.
You may have in your digital inventory the best products in the world, but they won't mean squat if no one would get to see them. This is why each and every online businessman will fight tooth and nail just to have a piece of the Internet traffic. After all, the more visitors who get to visit your site, the more potential clients you have.
And blogs can most definitely help you drive visitors to your pages. Here is how you could use them to achieve such a purpose:
1. Download the Wordpress blogging software, which is available for free at www.wordpress.com . An alternative is to go with blogger.com. I have posted instructions for setting up a Blogger blog at your own server in this PDF file:
www.pluginprofitstraining.com/blogsetup.pdf
2. Remember that good content is always at the heart of a progressive online traffic stream. People are always looking for information, and if you will give them that, they would read what you have to offer. Dedicate your blog to the subject of your main website. Publish informative entries that would hook your readers and make them come back for updates. In between purely educational entries, strategically include a link to your site by suggesting their importance to your readers.
3. Using the above mentioned strategy, you could also include your affiliate links to pre-sell your affiliate products. The more traffic you drive to your affiliate merchant's site or sales page, the more chances you will have of effectuating a successful sale and bigger commissions.
4. Links from blogs are unilateral, meaning, they are one way links to your websites. The more traffic a unilateral link generates, the more it becomes prominent in online searches. Avoid reciprocal links at all costs! Do not include a link to your blog from your website. Search engines abhor reciprocal linking.
5. 80% of your traffic will come from the search engines. You have to tweak your blog to attract the attention of the search engine spiders. Now, blogs are already search engine friendly. However, there is a very big possibility that you would be competing with other blogs on the same subject. You have to make sure that once you upload your blog, it is able to outperform its competitors in the search engine rankings.
One way you can do this is by using the title of your post to match the keyword phrases you are targeting, plus put a sprinkling of your keyword phrase in the post itself. I am doing this with great results.
6. Check your blog offline. It should be as readable and as navigable as possible for your prospective readers. Make appropriate adjustments if necessary.
7. Upload your blog to a reliable server that has enough bandwidth to accommodate many viewers.
8. Constantly update your blog. Search engines love regularly updated content, so publishing new entries will greatly increase your blog's page rank, and consequently, your main website's traffic.
9. Accepting links from other related blogs will also bring to your site some traffic from sources other then search engines. The way that a blog is designed fosters the building of a community of blog sites, and this will provide for an added stream of visitors for you.
10. You could also decide to enroll your blog site in the Google AdSense advertising program. This will give you an additional income stream. We will discuss this in future articles.
Blogs are excellent promotional tools for your existing business. Use them well and you will harvest the rewards in a matter of weeks.

Promoting Your Affiliate Products
Once you have your affiliate link, you're ready to go!
All you have to do, as we've discussed earlier, is to pre-sell your affiliate's products by marketing the same through your affiliate link. An affiliate link leads the would-be buyer to the affiliate merchant's payment processing page. Once you have managed to do that, your job is done, and the affiliate merchant will take care of the rest. This system makes affiliate marketing a very convenient home based business for anyone!
Pre-selling, however, should be carried out through effective marketing strategies to make this venture really profitable for you. These marketing strategies should be able to ensure a high conversion rate, or the power to convert the people who would be exposed to your affiliate link into successful sales.
Here are some of the more popular types of marketing campaigns being used as promotional tools in this home based business:

These marketing strategies should be able to ensure a high conversion rate, or the power to convert the people who would be exposed to your affiliate link into successful sales.
Here are some of the more popular types of marketing campaigns being used as promotional tools in this home based business:
- Promoting your affiliate links through viral marketing. Viral marketing is a very powerful strategy that would rapidly expose your business message, or your affiliate links in this case, in just a short period of time. Viral marketing tools usually involve eBooks, special reports and other information products. We will discuss this effective promotional tactic for your home based business in the succeeding lesson.
- Marketing your affiliate links through forums. As we've discussed in a previous articles, promotion in online communities is an affordable and efficient way in spreading the word about your products or website, including your affiliate links. You could try to be active in these forums, befriend other members if you have to, and before you know it, you'll have more traffic for your site and more referrals that could rake in some good commissions for your home based business.
- Article marketing. As we've likewise discussed in a prior article, writing articles and submitting them in various venues, with your resource box firmly attached at the end of each piece, is a magnificent way of promotions. People would scour the Internet for information, and if you write something about what they're looking for, you'll win their favor and expose your affiliate links to them aswel. This could only redound to the benefit of your home based business.
- Search engine optimization. As we've mentioned earlier in these lessons, having your own website would help a lot in marketing your affiliate links. If your website carries your affiliate links, you could always optimize the same for the search engines and drive a humongous amount of traffic to your pages. Every visitor you'll have would always carry with him the chance of clicking on your affiliate links.
- Create your own mailing list. With a mailing list in place for your home business, you won't have to lose any visitors. You could always "capture" them, warm them up for an offer later on, or present to them new packages that they might be interested with in the future. Most successful affiliates make a killing with their mailing lists alone! We will discuss this in detail in one of the the forthcoming lessons.

How To Attract Prospects To Your Business Magnetically
A magnet has the properties to attract certain metals, and a magnetic
person has the qualities, talents, or skills to attract others in a
magnetic like manner.
In the world of network marketing, how can someone acquire that type of personality, how can someone become a magnetic sponsor, and develop a large base of customers using magnetic like attributes?
Before I answer that question, read this quote:
"Nobody who bought a drill actually wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. Therefore, if you want to sell drills, you should advertise information about making holes - NOT information about drills!" - Perry Marshall
There is a lot of meaning behing this quote, but in a few words it contains the secret to becoming a highly successfull magnetic sponsor.
Would you rather spend $200 bucks on a drill, or first get free or inexpensive information to learn how to operate that drill properly and effectively? If you are like me, I am sure you would first learn more about how you can make a good hole with this tool before making that kind of purchase.
Would you rather buy from a salesperson who insists that his/her drill is the best tool for what you want to do? I wouldn't. Because I don't like to be sold, and I don't like people to pitch their sales number on me.
Would you rather buy from a person who gave you free information or inexpensive information on how to properly operate, and get the best results from that tool, and who did not try to pitch a drill on you?
Again, if you are like me, you would buy from a person who first took the time to educate you on how to make that hole proper. In your mind, this person is an expert in his/her field, he/she knows what he/she is talking about. So you sell yourself on buying that drill from him/her.
This is what many network marketers keep doing, they keep pitching their opportunities on their family, friends, relatives, and get all hyped up on the net, on their ads, and every one they encounter. But guess what? People do not care about your business opportunity, what they care about is a solution to their problems. In other words, you did not buy a business opportunity (drill) because you wanted one. You wanted a solution (hole) for more free time to spend with your family, be your own boss, earn a living online, or get rich, etc..
So, what you need to do instead of pitching your opportunity to your prospects, is to sell them inexpensive or give away free information that shows how to solve problems - how to drill that "hole."
If you can show them how to make that "hole", your prospects will come to the conclusion on their own without you pounding hard on them that they need a drill from you. Why?

Creating Wealth with Affiliate Programs: Getting Rich with No Money Down
The question I am asked the most is, "How can I create additional income
streams if I don't have any money to get started?" This article is
going to teach you exactly that - how to create additional income
streams using the Internet - without requiring any money to get
started...
If you search for Work-at-Home or Make Money Online, you will have literally millions of websites to visit that promise you the next best way to get rich... for a fee...
You can spend hundreds of dollars researching all of the business opportunities on the Internet. But more times than not, the money you spend only supplies information on everything else you need to buy to get started.
Well have no fear! I am going to show you some of the secrets I use to creating income streams with no money down!
I realize that a lot of you are living paycheck to paycheck. Everything coming in, quickly goes right back out. My intention of writing this article is to help you break out of this cycle with Affiliate Programs.
What are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate Programs are used to promote a product or service through a cost-per-action advertising model. Simply put, website owners will pay you a commission for every person you send to their website that either buys their product or service, or perform some other type of action such as filling out a survey...
Amazon.com built a huge following by utilizing Affiliate Programs. A website owner simply put a unique link on their website that Amazon.com provided them. Every time someone clicked on their unique link and ordered a book, the website owner would be paid a commission - usually a percentage of sales.
Banner ads or text ads are used to drive the traffic to the affiliate website. For example, one website might say "Click here to order Sean's Latest Book." When someone clicks on the link, it will go to exactly where they can order the book at Amazon.com.
High traffic websites benefit greatly by this business model since they can drive a lot of people to the affiliate websites which results in a lot of commissions being earned.
But what if I don't have a website?!
I know, you don't have a website, right? Or maybe you do, but you don't get a lot of traffic? I have good news...
BLOGS = FREE TRAFFIC
Over the last couple years, a new type of website has come onto the scene. They are called BLOGS. A blog is like a personal diary of articles that you post that people can read and comment on.
A couple examples:
http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com
http://ulosefast.blogspot.com
You can use a BLOG to drive visitors to affiliate links without having to have a website. If you look at the fortunedreams blog above, you will notice that at the end of every article is a link that says "Click here for FREE Information on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com"
If you click on that link, it will go to an affiliate link which redirects you to a free survey to fill out.
For every person that completes that free survey, I get paid $2.25. Not too bad, eh?
So How Do I Do It?
Step 1: Open a free affiliate account. Go to www.magmoney.com and join the affiliate program there. This affiliate program will allow you to earn $2.25 for every free survey completed.
Step 2: Login to your affiliate account. At the top of the screen, you will see some TABS. Click on the tab that says "CREATE YOUR LINKS." Then click on the link that says "CLICK HERE To get banner and text link code to advertise our three different websites."
The first website listed will allow you to refer other people to join the MagMoney Affiliate Program. For every person that signs up through your link, you will get paid 75 cents for every person THEY get to complete a free survey. (You might not want to promote this one until later - when you have a friend that wants to do what you are doing... You can then get paid on their efforts!)
The second website listed will allow you to send traffic to a weight loss website. If you want to create a blog about weight loss, then you will want to use this for your affiliate link.
The third website listed will allow you to send traffic to a Work at Home website. If you want to create a blog about Working at Home, then you will want to use this for your affiliate link.
Step 3: Decide which website you want to promote from Step #2, and click on the CLICK HERE that is next to it to create your unique affiliate link.
Once you do that, you will get a list with your unique affiliate link along with about 10 banner ads. Disregard the banner ads since we will not be using them on the Blog.
Step 4: Write down the affiliate link that is listed under the heading "Basic Affiliate Url:".
If you are doing a weight loss blog, your link would look something like this:
www.mailorderwork.com/gl/g.o/USERNAME/http://www.ulosefast.com
(Except all on one line.)
Step 5: Go to Blogger.com and create a free Blog account.
Step 6: Go ahead and create your first blog, whether it is for Work at Home or Weight Loss.
Step 7: Post articles to your Blog with your affiliate link posted at the end of every article you post. (Refer back to http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com to get an idea of what to post.)
Do the same thing I did with the "Click here for FREE Information on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com" But make sure you link it back to YOUR unique affiliate link that you wrote down from Step #4.
Where Do I Find Articles?
The easiest way would be to simply copy them from one of my blogs listed in the examples above. Or visit one of the free article websites such as www.SubmitYourArticle.com . There are literally thousands of articles for the taking. You will want to search for articles that fit the topic of the link you are promoting.
For example, if you are promoting the Work at Home link, you would want articles pertaining to Work at Home.
Step 8: Promote your Blog! There are hundreds of Blog Directories and RSS Directories that you can submit to that are free of charge. When you create a blog at www.Blogger.com, you also get a free RSS feed of your Blog. You simply add /atom.xml to the end of your Blog.
For example:
The blog http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/ would be http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/atom.xml as an RSS feed.
This allows you to submit it to all the RSS and Blog Directories that you can find...
Step 9: VERY IMPORTANT: After EVERY article that you post to your blog, go to www.pingomatic.com and submit your blog. Click on ALL the Services to Ping and then submit pings.
This tells many of the popular Blog directories that you have a new article posted. The more articles you post, the higher your ranking (and the more traffic they will send you!)
So be sure to do this after every article you post.
Step 10: Post new articles on your Blog several times a day. Try to post at least a dozen or more new articles on a daily basis to achieve the best results.
So there you have it! A completely, absolutely free way to start generating income with the Internet from the comfort of your own home...
Of course you can repeat the process over and over again creating as many blogs as you want. You can also use this method with any of the hundreds of other affiliate programs on the Internet.
Utilizing this method, you should be able to build up an extra income from several hundred dollars a month to several thousand - depending on how hard you work at it.
Now that you are earning a little bit of pocket money, put $250 aside for a special opportunity to turn it into hundreds of thousands of dollars with the ultimate leverage!
I'll tell you all about it in my next article about my favorite Business Model - Network Marketing...

form of moneymaking source that you can use instead of cluttering or
crowding the page with ads. You don't have to make these text links

your site and will also help to promote the rankings of other sites. In
most of the cases you will find these text links placed in the bottom of
the web pages. The best part of this strategy is that the publishers
send and accept links as the market continues to grow. read more articles / http://www.affiliatmarketing2015.blogspot.com |

3 Business Models For Creating Wealth On The Internet
The Internet has the potential to make you rich! I am sure you have
heard it over and over again. Everybody knows you can get rich using the
Internet, but how?
Over the last 8 years, I have researched hundreds of Internet business opportunities. I have purchased dozens of Get-Rich Information packs. I have listened to over 100 audiobooks on how to prosper using the Internet... I've been to countless seminars, some costing as much as $3,400 to attend! And I've tested all the tips, tricks and techniques to find out what works and what doesn't.
What I discovered was that there are three distinct business models that you can use to create wealth with the Internet. I've used all three to create an income stream of over $1 million dollars per year.
And I do it all from the comfort of my home, with no employees.
Would you like to learn how?
In this article I will give a brief overview of each of the three business models. Then, in upcoming articles I will discuss each model in greater detail along with direct links to resources I have used that are working for me RIGHT NOW!
*** ONE SECRET That All 3 Models Have In Common ***
As you learn about all of the models, you will notice one thing that they all have in common. That one thing is called "leverage."
What is leverage?
J. Paul Ghetty once said, "I would rather have 1% of the efforts of 100 men than 100% of my own efforts."
J. Paul understood leverage. Some of the models that I will present will leverage the efforts of hundreds and even thousands of other people to produce an income for you.
In other business models we'll use computers and technology to create leverage.
In either case, leverage allows you to earn money while you sleep, while you vacation, while you spend time with your family.
Leverage is the secret to financial freedom!
*** Business Model #1 - Network Marketing ***
Network Marketing, or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) has bloomed into a multi-billion dollar business. Even with all of this success, we still run into people today that call it a pyramid-scheme.
Network Marketing allows you to start a business at home that is similiar to a franchise. However, there is no franchise fee of millions of dollars. Instead, you pay a small entry fee, some as low as $35 to become a distributor. However, you get the backing of a major corporation to support you and to help you build your own home business.
You also get the opportunity to go International with your home business with some network marketing companies reaching into 60 or more countries!
MLM has come a long way, baby!
The unique thing about Network Marketing is that your upline is actually motivated to help you succeed. (Unlike a BOSS who doesn't want you to know what he knows - or you'd take his job!)
I have been (and still am) involved with 3 different network marketing companies. I will tell you about the good, the bad and the ugly in an upcoming article on Network Marketing.
*** Business Model #2 - Affiliate Programs ***
Affiliate programs have become very successful over the years. In fact, we started our own affiliate program several years ago, and saw it grow to over 3,000 affiliates in less than a year.
Basically, affiliate programs are ways that you can promote somebody else's product or service and get paid for it.
This is usually done by a banner ad, or announcement to a customer or other specialized list.
If you currently have a high traffic website, you should be participating in at least several different affiliate programs. Nowadays, there are networks of affiliate programs that take the threat of not being paid out of the picture. (It used to be a problem when everyone was running thier own.)
If you have a lot of time on your hands, and no money at all to get started in Network Marketing, than this is a great option to start out with.
I will tell you where to find these networks and how to get started in an upcoming article on Affiliate Programs.
*** Business Model #3 - Information Marketing ***
This is the model I am currently using to build my next million dollars, while my business partner spends his time building our Network Marketing businesses.
What is Information Marketing?
Basically it is taking something that you love doing and writing articles, ebooks and even creating teleseminars and live seminars.
It might sound like a lot of work, but you start small and work your way up.
I will be showing you how EVERYBODY has at least one special skill or ability that can be turned into an ebook and sold online. Really!
I recently attended a seminar that cost $3,400 to attend. This 3-day seminar was packed full of hundreds of tips and techniques to build an Information Marketing business.
I will be passing what I learned onto you through several upcoming articles.
All of the business models that I have presented have the power to create six and even seven digit incomes in as little as 9 months!
I will go into *much* greater detail on each of these three business models in upcoming articles on each one. I will also be providing updates of current progress to those of you on my mailing list, so be sure to join!

How to Use The Power of Affiliate Marketing
What is Affiliate Marketing? Will it lift your business to the next level? Or, is the Gold Rush over?
A wise man once said that the majority of people take their project to the point where it looks impossible and then give up. That is NOT the time to give up, because two more steps could see success!
You get up each morning - rush to your computer - you didn't make any sales! Did you realise what a vast marketplace you were setting up your stall in and unless you tell them you're open for business they won't come?
Your web site looked great (if you had one) but did you, like me in my early days, advertise it in FFAs, Free lists and safe lists? If you did, you now realise these lists only contain others who want to sell what they've got and are not the slightest bit interested in your offer! Don't fall for the "We'll put your ad in front of 2,000,000 people". So, what has all this got to do with the Power of Affiliate Marketing?
Are you creating your own Gold Rush? You've got a great product be it a hard product, a service or a digital product and you have a few visitors, and perhaps you're making a few bob a month. If you add five or six Affiliate products allied to your own, to your site, what have you got? CHOICE. The number of visitors goes up because you've got links back to your site, which means the Search Engines favour you more.
Affiliate Programmes must be in line with your own product, but you'll have a larger range to offer visitors. Imagine the 'wants' of those whom you are trying to interest - NOT the needs. People invariably buy what they want, not what they need.
Even if you haven't got a product of your own, or even a website, you'll make money with Affiliate Programmes. Solve people's problems and you're on to a winner.
Some of the highest paid net-workers don't have a website or a product of their own, but they make a whole stack of money by offering the products of well known companies to a receptive audience. They've created their own Gold Rush via Affiliate Programmes.
What are you doing? Wondering "Where do I find such products?" Well, there are many sources of 'product finders', but you can do a lot worse than look at what Affiliate Programmes there are on Clickbank - some 10,600 products and sites!
But (and yes, I know you should never begin a sentence with a preposition) investigate thoroughly those programmes you think will make you money. Look for a programme that pays at least 50% commission and if you find one with a two-tier commission structure, well, that's great because it means that you'll get commission on sales made by affiliates that you introduce.
So, what are you looking for when you investigate? Look and see how many affiliates each company has. Don't be put off by the fact that there are a lot. Its good. It means the product/s sell well. How much commission is paid out to affiliates? If you've got a Google toolbar (and if you haven't, go to Google and download one - they're free) you can find out a lot about companies by entering their name in the search box., and this will throw up a lot of information including how many backward links there are to that company. Important? I should think so, because search engines like backward links for high ranking.
Proper investigation will take a little time, but you'll find out a lot about these companies. Can you see yourself making money with a product AFTER you've investigated the company. Is the product something people want - not need!
There is no doubt in my mind that Affiliate Programmes is the way to make considerable money on the net, multi income streams from 5/6 Affiliate Progs. Not just one cheque a month, but several.
Nevertheless, you can't just become an Affiliate and expect the money to roll in. If that's your thinking - get another job! But if you are prepared to put in the right effort and look to the future with confidence and determination, you'll win.
Thomas Edison said - "What you are will show in what you do"
Advertising your programmes is easy, but that's the subject of another article - "Don't Pay for Advertising". Finally, let me urge you here NOT to use FFAs, Safe lists and the like. They never worked for me and they won't for you.

Combining Online and Offline Marketing to Build Business Credibility
How to earn new clients for your small business with these brand-boosting suggestions
I hope you enjoyed our recent series of articles and videos focused on what you can do to build your client roster for your business.
New clients are essential to the success of any business so make sure you keep up consistent efforts to draw in new leads you can then turn into paying clients. To quickly recap:
Proper planning
Have you taken the steps to define your ideal client yet? It’s important to have a plan before setting off on a journey.
Ideal clients are just that: ideal. The more of them you have, the less stress you have in keeping any toxic clients who may be more trouble than they’re worth.
Make your presence known
Content marketing, email marketing, and social media marketing all work together when planned properly. Before you start any guess work at how to go about marketing your business online remember our tips on the value of planning it all out right and hiring a professional to get it done properly.
This article talked about the value of organic and paid marketing to drive website traffic in droves and the cost of messy DIY attempts at online marketing.
The importance of referrals
Referral business is a great way to generate leads. The leads are better and the fact that you’re coming by way of a reference goes a long way to securing the client.
We looked at 4 ways to earn referrals so that you can feel more comfortable when approaching existing contacts for referrals.
Offline Marketing is Still Essential
A lot of what we focus on at eVision Media is specific to online efforts. That is essentially because we specialize in professional website development, social media marketing, and search engine optimization.
Your business success can rely on not only online marketing strategies and tactics, but also offline efforts. So remember to keep up some hard and true staples to keep the leads coming in.
Here’s some suggestions to infuse into your overall marketing pie:
• Event or Tradeshow Sponsorship
Sponsoring an event or a tradeshow is a great way to get your business in front of key decision makers within your industry or business sector. Our success with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce in 2016 was not only great for getting our name in front of local businesses over having won a Business Excellence award but the sponsor of our award, Blackwood Building Centre Ltd., also received a lot of recognition.
• Contests Offering Merchandise
Holding a contest is a great way get word out about your business. Watch out for serial contest entrants (yes people have side jobs entering contests all day) and take the construct of the contest seriously. Look for loopholes that could be exploited and carefully plan your contest so it targets your ideal clients.
Offering free samples or credit as a reward is great when you focus on those who need what you have or do. You may get less entries but it’s better to get 10 qualified entries than 1000 entries from people who are really only after a freebie.
• Radio Advertising
Radio ads are still a good tool especially if you deal locally. Many stations are eager to support local businesses so try reaching out to your local radio stations. The cost might be a lot better than you expect!
• Newspaper Mentions
These are great for getting eyes on your business. It’s even better if the newspaper has an online equivalent that publishes the article.
If you are able to get your name in a newspaper editorial and the author is willing to link to your site, then you’re not only getting some amazing exposure but because of the link, you are also telling Google that your website has more value.
Journalists have trust placed in them by their readers so if you can get someone to feature your business in an article you should definitely do it.
*Bonus Pro Tip – if you have key phrases drafted and website pages with them sending the right on-site ranking signals, then try asking the article author to link to your business with an actual term you’re trying to rank for.
• Networking
Never underestimate the power of good networking for your business. Getting yourself out there at events, trade shows, or anywhere else you can find your target audience is a great idea.
Not all events cost money and even if you don’t make a connection you can still have a good time!
Some other quick ideas to boost your brand exposure include:
• Sending postcards to past or prospective clients
• Posting flyers, sending mailers or distributing door hangers
• Goodie bag and door donations at events where your target market will be in attendance
• Merchandizing
• Volunteering
• Even get your car wrapped with your brand messaging!
These methods are good on their own and together they result in you building your credibility and getting more exposure in front of your ideal target market.
The value of credibility is immeasurable for business success and the cost of not having any clients know, like, or trust you is equivalently high.
Understandably, a lot of these tips seem great but are often tough to execute. If you’re having trouble building your client base or simply want some more help on any of the topics covered here, please get in touch.

10 Ways To Get Content For Your Blog marketing
Content marketing demands a lot of
attention. You need to pay attention to the latest popular trends,
analyze your competitors’ strategies, and come up with new, original
ideas on a constant basis so you can post regularly and build an
audience that expects—and desires—your consistent material. For some
content marketers, the obstacle is in the core strategy; questions like
“who is my key audience?” or “what mediums do I need to be using?” But
for most content marketers, the biggest problem is creating enough
high-quality, engaging material to keep the engine of your content
strategy running.
If you’re having trouble keeping up a consistent flow of content, try one of these unique strategies to create a higher volume of the same high-quality material your audience has come to expect:
1. Break up your posts. This isn’t about “creating more content” as much as it is about using the content you already have more efficiently. If you’re a fan of writing longer posts, try breaking those posts up into smaller, more niche titles. It will give you more opportunities to post without watering down your content. If you’re already writing short posts, this strategy can still work for you—take your idea for the post and transform it into different permutations. For example, if you write an article about top breakfast foods for young children, write a follow-up about top lunch foods for young children.
2. Experiment with newsjacking. Newsjacking has become a bit of a buzzword, but it’s a viable and easy strategy that anyone can use. Essentially, newsjacking involves finding a relevant trending topic and repurposing it for your own blog. It will take a bit of effort to find the right news story that fits your niche or industry, and some more effort to brainstorm and write a good spin on it, but it can work wonders.
3. Outsource your content creation: internally. Another way to get more content flowing is to rely on your coworkers for a little bit of help. This is especially useful if you work for a large company with multiple departments. Ask around to see who might be interested in writing up a sample blog about their own responsibilities within the company—for example, in a manufacturing company, a niche technician would be able to write a highly detailed post about the pitfalls of certain types of equipment. This way, you can leverage the power of your existing staff to create more—and more unique—content.

Staying On Top Of Blog Marketing News
Blog marketing is something that many take
seriously. However, if you are into blog marketing and make your living off of
your blogs, you are quickly going to realize how important staying on top of
the blogging news is. Blogs are also known as web logs, and are used for many
things. They are used for journaling, promoting things, and just getting your
point across at times. Using a blog to get any of these things done is a great
thing. That is because so many people love to read blogs, and they like to hear
what others have to say. If you are a blog owner, then chances are you read
blogs yourself and often appreciate other’s views on things. Whether it is
something that you are looking to purchase, a hobby, or news. Blogs are loved
by many.
Blog marketing is only as hard as you make
it. You market a blog a lot like you do a website. You are going to find that
blog marketing is somewhat less expensive than owning a website though. For
example, when you buy a domain, you do not buy it for life, you only buy it for
so many years. That can be just one year, or more. Which is a personal
preference. So, starting a blog does not have that cost up front that you are
looking at for a website, nor does it cost anything monthly to host as a
website would. With all of the free blog options that are available to you,
there is no need to pay for one.
When you are blog marketing, it is a great
idea to stay on top of the news for blogging as well. This will ensure that you
are aware of the new things and tools that become available to bloggers.
Whether they are promotion tools, or tracking tools, any of them will allow you
to keep track of your blog and market it better than ever. Whenever a new tool
or technique comes out, you can bet that it will be talked about in the
blogging news. Which is great because that makes you as well as other bloggers
aware of what is going on.
Not only does blog marketing news make you
aware of new things, but it also keeps you up to date on old things that you
all ready use. For example, if pinging your blog no longer was good for a blog,
you would definitely find out about it in the blog marketing news. So, it can
be used for new techniques and tools as well as old ones.
Blog marketing news can be found anywhere
that you would go to find website marketing news. You will see that it is also
blogged about so if there is anything particular in the news that you are
looking for to read about blogging, you will not have to go far. But by reading
other blogs about the new news, you are able to get others views on the tools
and techniques as well.
As you can see, it is very important to
keep up to date on blog marketing and the new things that come out for it. You
never know when the latest thing is going to hit the blogging world again, so
keeping your eyes peeled is great idea.

Let’s check how to use content wisely and effectively in Email Marketing:-
- Start with Subject Line: Subject line that is first seen by the customer and it should be attractive. You can invest some creative time and burn your head here because first impression is the best impression. Add relevancy and fun here. To add relevancy to subject line, write a subject line thinking from customers end and also segment before sending so that you add relevancy to the campaigns. And now to add fun you have a very simple trick here i.e. add emoji and now you can add slightly animated emoji. Emoji helps your campaign to stand out in inbox and save space and look creative and impressive.

- Text Only Creative: In this sort of creative major part of the creative will be filled with text, and mainly informative newsletters prefer this style. Even though the chances of getting inbox placement is high, the chances of getting open rate is low, as the customers don’t get enough time read them, and it would be good if you can get some interesting images into them.
- Text and Graphics: Well here you have the possibility of using as many images as possible along with text. These are mainly used by e-commerce sector as they are the one who needs to have a lot of images to be displayed in a single campaign. The major drawback here is that multiple image based mailers are less likely to get an inbox placement.
- Single Image Campaign: This is a way in which you can send campaigns with image and text. You just need to compile the entire content and images as a single image. Here chances of getting an inbox placement are highand it’s more interactive and impressive.
- GIF Image: Gif images are more interactive as they are more livelyand definitely an eye catcher.Also while using gif images with the help of a single image you can creatively display different products in a single image.
- Video Mailer: Yet another trending content is video mailer, here with a 30 second video content you can really entice customer.
