Who Else Want to Know How to Achieve Success and Create Wealth

2006-10-24T08:13:00.000-07:00

Copyright © 2006 Jason Chew

Many people want to achieve success or want to be rich. But, they do not know how to achieve their dreams or how to start on their journey to success. They do not have the will to make the first step. People who has attained certain level of success in life like become rich and achieve their dreams has certain secrets to their success. Have you ever wonder what are the secrets that separate these people from those who are less succesful? I am going to share with you the 5 secrets that I find from doing research on them. These are the secrets that are used by people who make it big in the world. These are their secrets of success.

Secret of Success #1 - Have Big Goals

Many of the successful people often have big goals to achieve in their life. Robert Kiyosaki's goal is to bring financial literacy to world. The bigger the goals are the more it will motivate you to achieve them. If you know what your goals or things that you really want to do, you will more motivated to achieve them. Often, in the process of finding the goals you will be able to learn more about yourself and find meaning in life. After you have gather enough information, you can decide the things that you really want to do. You must write these things down as specific as possible. For example, if you want to get rich, just plainly state get rich is not good enough. You need to be as specific and clear as possible as is to be a multi-millionaire who owns some corporation.

Secret of Success #2 - Never Say Die When Face with Adversities or Failures

Many rich people have encountered lots of failures before achieving their dreams or attain enormous wealth. One example is Walt Disney. He has bankrupted a number of times before he finally built his first Disneyland. Robert Kiyosaki has failed multiple times before his books achieve phenominal success. When you are facing difficulties, you need to use your beliefs and values to motivate you to overcome them. Only when you truly believe in your dreams and yourself, will you not be detered by adversities, and overcome the short challenges in your way to success. Dr. John Gray, the world number 1 relationship author, uses a river journey towards the sea as analogy to a person journey to success. He said that a river always encounter stones and rocks in its path to the sea. When the river encounters stones and rocks, it always splashes the water on them and stop. But, it will step back after the splashes and the water will turn around them to continue its journey towards the seas. So, be like the river, when you encounter failures, do not cry over them. But, learn from the mistakes and move on towards your goals. You need to "burn your ships" and leave no room for retreat. When you throw yourself to the den, you will be more hunger to succeed.

Secret of Success #3 - Have Mentors and Mastermind group

Napolean Hill said that mentor and mastermind group is very important if a person would to attain riches. If you want to achieve success, you need to learn from mentors. Since birth, there are always mentors in your life to guide you along. When you are young, when you fell down, your parents and friends will always encourage you to stand up and walk again. In your journey to success, you need to have mentors to guide you along to always been inspired, motivated and strife towards your goals. Mentors can teach and guide you to towards your goals faster. Mastermind groups are strategic groups that are formed together by people with common goals. When you formed mastermind groups with equal minded people, the synergy of the mastermind groups can help you to ourcome obstacles easily and motivate you along the journey to success.

Secret of Success #4 - Have Clear Plan and Priorities

Rome is not build in a day; Success Too. Success requires clear plan, clear priorities and commitment. You have to eliminate all the bad habits that you have acquire in your life. You need to stop procastinate and eliminate excuses and be accountable for the things that you do. You remove distractions that stop you from reaching your goals. By having measurable and specific goals that are specified precisely and clearly and in advance. Divide your the goals in sub-goals if they are too big and set milestones and timeline to achieve you them. When you have a clear plan of what and how to achieve your goals, strive to attain them one by one. Eventually, success will come to you.

Secret of Success #5 - Leverage on People and System

Many successful people are able to do more by leveraging on others and systems. Paul Allen, the World 4th richest man, is able to go fishing and work much lesser than his business partner Bill Gates. This is because he able to leverage on Bill Gates to make more money for him. Leverage on the knowledge of masses to solve your daily problems. In today's information age, the speed of information processsing is more important than the amount of information. It's not how much information you know but how fast you learn them that determine whether we will succeed. Only when you know how and when to leverage others can you be able to move faster and see opportunities faster. They are now more millionaires in this century than the last because these people are able to leverage on others and systems to make more money. On such systems is the Internet. Google and yahoo are able to become multi-billon companies because there able to help people process and filter information at ease and faster. So, if there are some sound systems or processes that can do your job faster, use them. They will able to help you attain your goal faster and easier.

After you have acquired the secrets of success, I hope you are motivated towards your journey to success. Find some time to do some soul-searching to find your big goals that you want to achieve in life. Only when you are highly motivated and passionate about the goals that you want to achieve, can you achieve them. Success is not just an achievement but more of a journey that has many lessons along its way!

The Key to Niche Marketing is the Right Product

2006-08-19T07:53:00.000-07:00

by Mark Nenadic

When you become experienced with niche marketing, you
quickly learn that there is one extremely important factor
that plays the most important role in determining whether
your business will be successful or not. This factor is
the original concept of the business itself. It begins
with the product that you have selected, as well as your
target market niche, and then your unique selling
proposition (USP) – as well as the implementation of these
elements. If your business idea – primarily, your product –
is a good one, and you have applied your techniques
properly for the development of your business, then you
will be much more likely to be successful in your venture.
It’s all a matter of getting off on the right foot.

But just because you know this doesn’t mean that the
process will be easy. After all, anybody can recognize
that they need a good product in order to build a company
to be successful, however, not everybody knows what a good
product or business idea really looks like. Let’s look a
little bit closer at what a business idea is, and how to
recognize if it is a good one.

Naturally, the word “product” is rather self explanatory –
it’s either the goods or the services that you will be
selling. Equally, the term “target market niche” is
becoming more familiar in the business world, referring to
the little corner of the marketplace where a particular
business places its focus. However, not as well known is
the term “USP”, which stands for unique selling
proposition. This last term, which is essentially your
individual marketing strategy, is what is often lacking in
businesses that fail.

The product itself is what you’re attempting to sell. It
can consist either of something tangible, such as
computers, construction equipment, paper, or shampoo, or
something electronic, such as downloadable software, an
e-book or e-newsletter, or anything else that can be
downloaded or sent over the internet. Even websites can be
considered intangible products. Or, your product can be
something you provide, such as a membership, a professional
service, or anything else that you can do for a customer
that you can charge money for. All of these are considered
a product, even though they are vastly different. The most
defining feature of them all is their value in order to
make them sellable. Value is given to a product when it
can solve a customers problems, fulfill their desires, or
simply make them happier in some way or another.

Your target market niche consists of the people who will
potentially become customers and buy your product. When
defining your target market niche, you need to make sure
that you are working with a size that you can manage, but
will still bring in enough income that you will be
profitable. For example, if you are running a small
business, you need to select a niche that fits your size,
and doesn’t put you up against large corporations in
competition. Your target market niche also needs to be a
group of people that is easily accessible to you. This may
be though specialized websites, mailing lists, online
forums, or other straight-forward and achievable marketing
strategies.

Finally, your USP – unique selling proposition – is the
element of your business that connects your product with
your target market niche audience. This is the very core
of your business concept. To make sure that you’re
applying it properly, you need to define it, either in your
marketing strategy or your business mission. It is the USP
that brings your product out to the people who may
potentially buy it, illustrating it as not just an item,
but a solution to a problem, or a way to be happier in
life. Your USP needs to make your product stand out beyond
the rest of the similar products out there, persuading
potential customers that your product is the only one that
will provide the solution that they’re looking for.

By working all of these three main parts into your business
strategy, then you will dramatically increase your chances
of having a successful business. So start brainstorming
today for the product that you will be able to use on all
three of these levels, and you’ll be ready for your
successes tomorrow.

Google Adsense: Tips for Using Google Adsense

2006-08-13T10:28:00.000-07:00

Like anything else, you’ll get out of Google Adsense what you put into it. The following optimization tips can help you grow your Google Adsense dollars:

Write interesting content and write every day. Have more than one site. The more sites you have, the more ads have the potentialto get clicked.

Set up channels and monitor your statistics across all sites. If one site is performingpoorly, consider changing the content or the ad layout. Experiment!

Change the ad layout and notice which layout works the best for you. There aremany different layout options and there’s no way you can know going in whichone will perform the best.
If you’re blogging, writingup.com has a list of profitable topics. They state thatyou don’t have to write on those topics but you might give it a try or at least plugsome of them in to the search engines.

Google different key words and phrases and notice how much and what kinds of content and ads you see.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Google Adsense: Why Do I Need Google Adsense?

2006-08-13T10:26:00.000-07:00

Because it’s there, it’s fun and it’s free. If you’re reading this, you obviously have some interest in the internet. You don’t even have to have your own site, although the more sites you use Google Adsense on, the more money you will make. For example, anyone can write a blog even if it’s just your own opinion on something.

You can also make money referring other people to Google Adsense. By placing a referral button on your site you increase your earnings potential. When a publisher that you referred makes their initial $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up and is eligible for payout, your account will also be credited $100.00. Additionally, they must never have registered for a Google Adsense account before.

Don’t be intimidated by the html code. It’s already formatted. All you have to do is choose the language and kind of button you would like, and copy and paste the html code to your site. Look for the referral code and more information under Adsense support.

Review of Ewen Chia's Secret Affiliate weapon (SAW)

2006-07-28T22:56:00.000-07:00

IMPORTANT: Read the following before you buy it.

So What so good about Ewen Chia's Secret Affiliate weapon? The man, Ewen Chia is widely respected and one of the most successful affliate marketers.He constantly achieved huge cash sales for his JV's and affiliate programs. Ewen also won top in some of the online affiliate marketing challenges. He create a system, the Secret Affiliate Weapon which is a smple membership site to help affiliate marketers make money.

1. The Sales Letters
Before we go into details let see what his sales letters. Ewen is going to reveal some of his most effective affiliate marketing strategies if you sign up for his membership site. In addition, he promises to provide You with proven "Copy & Paste" style promotions that I can simply plug-in to my existing marketing campaigns to make some easy profits. His sales letter also says that if you pay $9.97 to join right now, I'll get 500 free visitors to any website I choose.Additionally, Ewen says that the next 100 members receive a "Quick-Start Affiliate Profits" training guide as a bonus. I personally doubt that bonus is actually reserved for the next 100 members only. In most cases, marketers say something like this to create a sense of urgency, but the bonus usually lasts forever... I can't confirm this is the case with Ewen though. He might be telling the truth.

2. Low Enrollment of $9.97 to SAWWe pay $9.97 to enroll to SAW
But, What do we actually get? Ewen's reason for the low $9.97 enrollment price is so that he can collect "Success Stories" and that once he has enough of these, he will convert the site into a monthly recurring membership site. That sounds reasonable enough.

I personally tried out to test his claims. Ewen actually laid out his weapons in a nice neat step by step package. Ewen's way of tackling a competitive market profitably was the huge mindshift I needed. Suddenly, it became clear to me that every thing that I had been doing previously is incorrect. To achieve results, I need to throw away all those bad "habits" of marketing and do more of the "good habits" that is revealed by Ewen.

By using Ewen's method to conquer the competitive markets where the real cash lies I have been able to achieve some results. If you are new affiliate marketing, I would not recommend the Secret Affiliate Weapon. It is assumed that you are already doing some affiliate marketing.But, then if you want to find out Ewen's Secret Affilate Weapon, $9.97 is a good starting point.

2006-05-28T18:51:00.000-07:00

How to Target a Market with Pinpoint Accuracy:
"The biggest mistake beginning marketers (and some veterans) make is to try to sell something to a market that doesn't want what they are selling. The second biggest mistake they make is to believe that their product and service appeals to everyone under the sun.

The truth of the matter is...you can make more money selling to a small niche market who is dying for what you have to offer and will pay any amount of money for it than to try to sell a specialized item to everyone!"

This is a great article on how to find your rabid niche market. It's better to sell something that a small group of people that is dying for it than to everyone who might not be interested.

In this article, the author, Marc Goldman, used the example of his cousin passion for 1976 Mercury Capri's automobile to illustrate his points. The author stressed that it is good to start with something you know preferably your interest and niche you in; and the important of selling to people solutions to problems that they are dying to solve. Sometimes, it is also good to compliment the market with related products that already have some die-hard fans.

Learning How to Make Money Blogging

2006-05-09T09:34:00.000-07:00

There are two major types of business models thatentrepreneurs use to make money blogging. The firstand most common way to turn a blog into a profitmaking machine is to sell advertising to differentcompanies and brands who want to reach that blog'sreaders. The second kind of money making blog is onethat helps a single brand improve its image by creatingpositive associations between the blog and the productin the mind of consumers. Both kinds of blogs canmake a lot of money, especially if the creator has a keenmind for marketing.

If you are blogging with the goal of selling advertising,there are two basic ways that you can go aboutrecruiting sponsors who want to put ads on your site;you can let someone else do all of the legwork, or youcan do the work yourself and keep all of the revenue.Within the first group, many people make moneyblogging by selling space through Google's AdSenseprogram. The advantages of this program are numerous,as it requires very little effort on the part of the bloggeror webmaster to begin raking in profits. However, mostpeople discover that they make less money through thismethod than they had hoped that their blog would earn.

Selling advertising directly to companies who want toput banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can takequite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative. If youhave a lot of contacts in industries that are related to thetopic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route.People who have a strong background in sales and areexperienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bitof money by renting blog space to interested companies.The most serious problem with this model is that youoften have to build quite a sizable readership before youcan attract advertisers, which can mean that you have todo several months of work before you start to makemoney blogging.

As blogging becomes a more and more lucrativebusiness, a lot of established companies are consideringhow they can get into the action. One way thatcompanies are capitalizing on the blog movement is byhaving blogs that provide a kind of friendly face fortheir corporation. Often, a company will employ anestablished blogger to create a weblog designedspecifically to appeal to that company's customers andto create positive associations with the brand inconsumers' minds. More than one writer who nevereven dreamed that he or she could make moneyblogging has been approached by a company andoffered quite a pretty penny for this kind of gig.

7 Ways To Make Money Using Nothing More Than Your List

2006-05-02T09:51:00.000-07:00

An opt-in list can be quite crucial to any site or internet based company. Even for a small venture such as a niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world of difference and also add some extra income for your pocket. Rarely would you see an e-commerce site, big or small, that is without an opt-in list.

An opt-in list allows for a company to market their wares and site via an e-mail. With an opt-in list, a site and a subscriber consents to sending and receiving a newsletter from your company. Through this, you can keep your subscribers abreast of what is currently available in your site as well as whatever is coming out.

And because there is mutual consent between the two parties, any mail sent to the list is not considered as spam mail. There is a great number of successfully read promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters and such that are sent because the subscribers themselves have signed up for them, meaning, they do want to be sent those items.

Building a list is crucial, only a small percentage actually subscribes for an opt-in list. Many people find promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good newsletter or promotional material, you will see your list build up and grow. You can also achieve this by having good content on your site. If people like what they see and read on your site, then they surely would want more. Newsletters would be a way to attract them back to your site. A little teaser or appetizer if you will.

But other than marketing your wares and your services, an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra profit. Not all lists can be used though. It would be good to first build a successful list with a huge number of subscribers. The more subscribers you have, the more money you can get. Here are seven ways to make money using nothing more than your list.

1) Place advertisements. There are many corporations who will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many subscribers. Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base. Your newsletter could be placed with many ads and each one spells money.

2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to what your site is about. Here other companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what they offer, products and services. With every click made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you. This P4P or pay for performance.

3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of sales done through your list. With every sale done by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales. The more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get.

4) You may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via your newsletter. Place descriptions, articles and photos of the product in your newsletter. There will be those who will buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer.

5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your list. Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand. Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject. With your existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book could be offered and sold or used as an incentive.

6) Create a network out of your list. Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your list. The larger your list is, the more people will be able to click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your advertisement rates higher.

7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon. Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as browse your site. Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making them your partners. Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase.

How to use Autoresponders to Generate Lead

2006-05-02T08:17:00.000-07:00

Autoresponders are one of the most important marketing tools that you can have if you are doing business online. In fact, the only thing more important that the autoresponder is your opt-in list! But all autoresponders start out without a list – the list doesn’t exist until your autoresponder mailing list starts filling up with names and email addresses!

The easiest and fastest way to build up an email list is to give things away for free. Some marketers will tell you that this is a waste of time – and if you already have a list of one hundred thousand people that you can market to, then it probably is. But for those who do not already have a list, this is the way that it gets built! You simply pay for advertisement to promote your freebie. Don’t think of this as lost money, think of it as an investment in future earnings.

Give away an ezine, free reports, free ebooks, free access to private websites, or anything else that you can think of. The object is to get people to sign up to receive that freebie, and to agree to receive email from you in the future! It is a win-win situation for everyone, but you get more than anyone else in the deal. The person gets a freebie. You get their name and email address, and permission to email them in the future.

But if you do it right, you get even more than that. The freebie that you give away should also be used to promote your products or services. Even if it just has affiliate links for products or services that are related to the topic of the freebie, it is a way to generate extra revenue. Then, when you send email in the future, you can again promote your products or services. Just be sure to include valuable information in the email as well, or you will have people dropping off of your autoresponder mailing list like flies!

Using every opportunity that is presented to you in the world of Internet Marketing is vital to your success. You have the opportunity to earn money in the freebie that you create, you have the opportunity to earn money when you send the ‘thank you’ email after a person has requested your freebie, and you have the opportunity to earn money every time an autoresponder message is sent out to that list in the future! Don’t waste those opportunities, and put it all in automatic mode with the use of an autoresponder.

Free Marketing Article: More Powerful Than A Mini-site

2006-04-18T18:56:00.000-07:00

By Christopher Kyalo

Many people do not know it but a free marketing article can be much more powerful than a mini site and can also do a lot more to drive valuable targeted traffic to a targeted site.

Used properly a free marketing article can accomplish much more and penetrate much deeper than a minis site can ever do. What are mini sites? Marketers to capture several niche markets and redirect all the traffic to one main site usually use mini sites. Mini sites are mostly frowned on by search engines because of all sorts of things many webmasters get up to when promoting their mini sites and main site, some of which leading search engines consider to be unethical and against the rules.

Instead of all the headaches and extra work that has to go into mini sites, many smart online entrepreneurs use free marketing articles. They generate hundreds of them and post them both at their blogs and at selected leading search engines. Search engines love keyword rich articles and usually reward sites that generate them with good rankings and the sort of visibility that will usually generate even more traffic.

These hundreds of keyword-rich free marketing articles, carefully distributed are usually much more powerful and effective than any mini site can ever hope to be. The free marketing articles will tend to virally spread all over the net and they will also capture more targeted traffic than any mini site is capable of doing.

The Top Ways To Increase Traffic

2006-04-17T22:38:00.000-07:00

by David Hennebery

1. Search Engines Optimize your website to be search-engine friendly. Submit it to various search engines and directories. In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN, it's worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well.

2. Affiliate Program Set up an affiliate program where you pay people a percentage of each sale for referring customers to you. Spread the word about your affiliate program by submitting it to affiliate program directories and contacting the owners of related websites.

3. Link Exchanges Create a links page that will contain the links to other non-competing websites in the same industry. Contact the owners of other websites with your proposal to exchange links. You will add their link to your links page, and they will link to your website in return.

4. Post In Forums Visit the online discussion forums where people in your target market like to gather. Post useful responses to people's questions, and include a link to your website at the end of your post next to your name.

5. Comment On Blogs Visit other people's blogs on the topic related to your website. Most blogs allow you to add comments about the issues being discussed. Add insightful comments about the blog topics, and leave your website link. Your comment and your link will permanently remain on the blog website.

6. E-Mail Signatures Create an e-mail "signature" - your name, your website address and a short tagline describing the main benefit of your site. Set your e-mail program to automatically add your signature to every e-mail that you send.

7. Traffic Exchanges There are many times of traffic exchanges but the idea is the same - you team up with other webmasters, and they send you traffic in exchange for you sending them traffic. Search the web for "traffic exchange" to find those services.

8. "Pass-Around" Strategy Create something of value that people will pass around. It can be a report with useful information that you allow people to give away. It can also be some kind of cool and unusual webpage that people will want to e-mail to all their friends. Of course, the pass-around item will include your advertisement and your link, spreading the word about your website.

9. Writing Articles Write articles on the topic related to your website, and include a link to your site in your author bio. Submit your articles to article directories, and allow people to publish your article in their newsletters and websites. Your articles will spread around the web like wildfire. People will read them and visit your website.
The best part is that people who read your articles will regard you as an expert, and they will be much more likely to buy from you when they go to your website. How's that for a free publicity?

Promoting a website through search engines

2006-04-17T22:36:00.000-07:00

by Dustin Cannon

Any website owner knows that promoting their website is key to making successful. Promoting a website is a lot of work, but without promotion the website will not get any traffic. There is a lot of competition on the internet between website owners. Getting the URL of a website out into the public is often times very difficult. The main way of promoting a website is to get it listed on the search engines. Promoting a website through search engines is the best way to get traffic to a website.

Using search engines to find websites is the number one way internet users find websites to visit. Getting ranked high on a search engine takes a lot of effort and a little know how. Search engines use certain criteria for ranking websites that come up in searches. Some of the main points of getting a high ranking are keywords, links and content.

Keywords are the words or phrase a user types into a search engine to find websites. A website owner should have a solid knowledge of their websites keywords. Optimizing a website for keywords is a good idea. There are software programs and services that can help a website owner develop the keywords and optimize their website.

Links are becoming one of the best ways to get a website ranked high by search engines. It is actually very easy to add links to a website. The links added should be popular websites that are related to the website owners website in some way. They should not be competing sites, but rather compliment the websites content. To find these websites the web site owner should do a search at the search engines where they want to be listed. The websites listed on the first page are ones the owner should try to link their site to.

Content is becoming more important in how search engines rank websites. In the past a web site owner could fill their site with keywords and coding to get a high ranking. Now more and more search engines are looking at the quality of content on a site. The reason being is that internet users want websites that are interesting and not filled with needless jumbles of words.
Once a web site owner has their website set up for submission they need to actually submit their site to the search engines. The process usually involves filling out a short application. The web site owner should also have a brief description of their website and a list of keywords as this may be part of the application process.

When a website is accepted by a search engine it is up to the website owner to track their sites ranking. In order to maintain a good ranking it is important to keep up to date on what is making sites rank high. It is also important to make sure links work and that the sites linked to are still ranking high. Maintaining a good search engine ranking is very important to promoting a website, so it is well worth the work.

Turn eBay into your Personal Salesman

2006-04-17T22:29:00.000-07:00

by Niall Mehaffey

Yes, that's right, you can turn eBay into your own personal salesman. Now the question is how. If you have a look on eBay for ebooks, you will see thousands of them being sold and quite a lot of them are even being sold for as little as 1p. You can take advantage of this and I'm going to show you how.

The authours of a lot of those particular ebooks that are being sold on eBay for such ridiculous prices are actually very happy about it. You see most of those ebooks will have a link inside it leading back to the authors website, therefore generating visitors to the site and hopefully some sales for higher priced items. Another way you can make money from those ebooks is to put a few afiliate links in them and jope that people reading them will buy through your link, therefore gaining the author a percentage of the sale.

This is a type of residual income as you only have to produce the ebook once and it can make you money for years to come. Now if only one ebook can do this for you, then two ebooks could potentially double your profits and three ebooks means yet even more money to be earned. However you must create a well presented, informatice ebook and grant master resale rights to it, as nobody will want to sell your ebook for you if it is no good. If you create a good quality ebook and grant master resale rights to it, you will find many people selling your ebook and generating you website visitors and revenue. This is called viral marketing as your ebook will spread through eBay like a virus.

Dynamic Marketing With RSS Feeds

2006-04-17T22:26:00.000-07:00

by Marige O'Brien

When RSS Feeds first came out only the larger news services and web servers invested in them. But, as more and more webmasters and marketers discover their positive effects on page rankings and realize each feed is considered an inbound (often permanent) link, they are being embraced on a much wider scale.

For the end user, their greatest advantage is the instantaneous transmission of information, which is delivered directly to anyone who has the feed in their feed reader. This offers users up-to-the-minute information. But, as a marketing tool, many are just now discovering that, with each new feed set up, another inbound link is created, one that, with promotion, will build a page's rankings and site traffic significantly. Plus, with email becoming increasingly uncertain as a form of communication, newsletters have also discovered this to be an excellent alternative, one that has wide appeal because of its anonymity.

And, too, authors are discovering the advantages of creating RSS feeds for their articles, since it can save them what is an otherwise arduous task of submitting their work to a multitude of submission sites. In fact, with this option, end users and newsletters can directly feed into their favorite authors, bypassing the submission sites altogether. Not good news for the submission sites-- unless THEY pick up the feeds, too. And many are doing just that.
While some hesitate to take on this new form of communication, the fact is, it is easy to create and maintain an RSS Feed and, at the time of this writing, the software is still available for free. In fact the only real barrier to Feeds becoming more wide-spread seems to be the lack of straight-forward instruction in setting them up. This has stopped many from pursuing this new, dynamic type of communication. (For instruction, see below.*)

And, too, some feel that there is less control with this new medium since, unlike email marketing, the recipient's remain anonymous. But with spam filters that block even those that have "opted-in" and regular, private email being erroneously blocked more and more often, the email marketer begins to wonder about the validity of their efforts.

While this does pose a serious question about the future of email marketing, it also provides an answer to those who use email to circulate newsletters or news about relevant site updates. By simply providing an RSS Feed, this information can be obtained.
Most of all, RSS Feeds keep marketers on their toes, since only those sites that are regularly updated, will benefit the most.--mo

The Conversion Rate: A Must on the Road to Fortune

2006-04-17T22:21:00.000-07:00

by David Mclauchlan

What is the Conversion Rate? The Conversion Rate is the percentage of visitors who become your customers. Here's how that happens....visitors arrive on your site, read, enjoy and absorb your site content, come to the decision that your information and recommendations are credible, click through for further information, are impressed by what they see and finally buy. They are now your customer - you've just increased your conversion rate. Just as important as having a new customer you also have a potential referrer or affiliate. Your online business has just been kick started! Great content, leads to traffic, to click throughs, to conversion, to sales/contracts, to income... this is the road to fortune on the net. The higher your conversion rate the higher your income. It takes a lot of hard work, determination and commitment to travel on the road of fortune. That hard work can lead to a road paved of gold. Becoming rich via the net is becoming more difficult but it's fun and rewarding and still the easiest way to get rich or to earn a part time of full time income. To illustrate the importance of the conversion rate lets look at how it unfolds with an affiliate business. For this specific case the conversion rate can be defined as the percentage of visitors to the merchant-partner's site who deliver the response for which the merchant pays, be that a click, a lead or a sale. The greater the traffic to your site the greater the chance of increasing your Conversion Rate. If for example, you refer 100 visitors per day to a merchant-partner and 1% buy, you will be paid for that one purchase. If, however, you refer 1,000 visitors per day to the merchant-partner and 3% buy, you will get paid for a total of thirty purchases!! By maximizing both traffic and Conversion Rates, profits grow geometrically. Great content will accomplish traffic and a good Conversion Rate.

A number of things will happen if the audience likes what they read when they come to your site. First, they will begin to trust you and will be eager to see what you have to offer. From there they will either buy or recommend or both. The greatest asset of the net is word of mouth. Thousands of people can be reached in less than a second through emails or blogs. Ensure that your content is always genuine and sincere... if it is, your success is only a click away.

10 High-Impact Viral Marketing Strategies

2006-04-17T20:59:00.000-07:00

by Robert Bercume

Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and use your free product or service in order to multiply your marketing quickly over the internet. The idea behind viral marketing is that you include your ad with the freebie people giveaway or use. Below are ten high impact viral marketing strategies:

1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their web site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.

2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as f.ree bonuses for products or services they sell. Include your ad on all your freebies.

3. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own web site. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.

4. Allow people to sign up for a f.ree web site on your server. Since you are giving away the space, require them to include your banner ad at the top of the site.

5. Allow people to add their link to your f.ree web site directory. Just require that they return a link back to your web site, advertising your directory.

6. Allow people to provide your f.ree online service to their web site, visitors, or e-zine subscribers. They could be free e-mail, e-mail consulting, search engine submissions, etc.

7. Allow people to give away your f.ree software. Just include your business advertisement inside the software program.

8. Allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site.

9. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free ebook if, in exchange, they give away the ebook to their web visitors or e-zine subscribers.

10. Allow people to give away your free ebook to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the internet.

Niche Marketing is the Simple and Proven Secret to Making Money Online

2006-04-16T11:49:00.000-07:00

By E. Kinton, Jr.

Niche markets, or specialized areas of demand for a product or service, are key to generating an income whether it be an online or offline business. We are going to discuss a very simple concept that will allow you to identify a niche and how you can then use that niche to generate more income.

Let's start with a very basic category of pets. If you decided to sell pet products on the internet, this category would be very broad and would immediately put you in competition with extremely large vendors like pets.com for example. So, rather than competing with companies that have been around for many years and may have greater advertising and financial resources than you have, you will want to dig a little deeper and find a niche that you can focus on while building your business.

Some people immediately think that by focusing on a smaller niche that they are limiting their number of potential customers. That is true to a certain degree. However, it is often far more profitable to have a smaller group of customers that truly want what you have to offer than a larger group that is being bombarded by hundreds of your competitors.
So, let's get back to the category of pets. We have already determined that this group is very large and that you will need to be more specific. Here are some possibilities...

Level 1-Pets
Level 2-Dogs
Level 3-German Shepherds
Level 4-Puppies
Level 5-Training Puppies

Potential niche: "Best Way to Train German Shepherd Puppies"
Once this niche is chosen, it will do two things for you. First, it will give you a greater focus and allow you to promote your service to a targeted market segment. Secondly, it will bring you potential customers that already know exactly what you have to offer. In return, they will be far more likely to purchase from you.

This basic concept can be applied to literally any category of business and anyone can use it to select a niche. Let's look at one more that you have probably seen online many times.

Level 1-People
Level 2-Women
Level 3-Women Entrepreneurs
Level 4-Women Entrepreneurs Working at Home
Level 5-Women Entrepreneurs Working at Home with Children

Most experts will tell you to choose a niche that you enjoy or one that you have experience with in life. However, if you do a little research, you will find out that some marketers have been able to capitalize on various niches even with little to no experience in that specific area.
In the long run, niche markets have been proven to work for anyone taking the time to study them. Have some fun and use the technique shown above to find a niche that you will not only enjoy but one that will allow you to profit as well.

Viral Marketing

2006-04-16T11:45:00.000-07:00

By Nick Maise

Do you have a website but having a hard time generating traffic? Don't you wish you could just sit back and let someone else do the promoting for you? Well you can! And they'll do it for you for FREE. That's right, we're not talking about paid advertising here. What we're talking about works better than paid advertising and doesn't cost you a thing! We're talking about article submissions.

Submitting an article to an article directory is a great way of generating traffic for your website, whether you're just starting out or just trying to increase the traffic to your site. All you have to do is write an article that would be useful to your prospects, and put a resource box at the end of the article with a link to your website. A resource box is just a small statement about yourself with a link to your site for them to find out more information. Then you submit it to a few article directories. That's it. Other people take over from this point.

So what exactly happens when you post articles on an article directory? Well your article gets posted on their website. A lot of other website owners check these article directories for articles they can use as content for their website or newsletter. But when they use your article, they agree to not change the article and to leave YOUR resource box on it. They advertise your website for you! You don't have to do anything.
I can hear you now, this all sounds great but I'm not that great at writing. Well you don't have to be! You're not trying to sell a novel here. All you are doing is writing something that you think would be useful for someone else to know. As long as it is helpful I'm sure there will be plenty of people who WANT to read it. And the more you write, the better your writing is going to get. So don't sit around procrastinating because you don't feel you can write good enough. Just do it. You'll get better.

This looks good but is it really better than paid advertising? I would say yes and there are several reasons for this. First of all it is FREE. Second, it's viral. Take a look at this scenario. If you post an article on a couple article directories and only 10 people decide to use it in their newsletter. Each of these people has 2,000 people on their list. This advertises your site to 20,000 people. Now imagine if 100 people used your article or if they had 20,000 people each on their list. This stuff is powerful. Third, it establishes you as an expert in that field. People will trust you more and will be more willing to by your product if you've already given them useful information. Forth, after you've written a lot of article you can compile them into your own ebook and give it away for free (with links to your site of course) or sell it. Paid advertising doesn't even compare to this. Don't waste any more time. Start writing articles now!

Internet Marketing on a Budget

2006-04-16T11:36:00.000-07:00

By Scott Oliver

Many think that a profitable home-based business requires tons of high-tech supplies, and a never-ending stream of cash. Fortunately, that is not the case. Internet marketing can now be executed easily and successfully on a limited budget. The desire for home business enterprises is at a high point, and affordable marketing options are endless. With a bit of effort and commitment, your internet marketing campaign can work with practical and useful advertising options.

When working with a limited amount of means, you must first construct a workable internet marketing plan. It must be decided what types of advertising and promotion will be used, and how much money will be allowed for each part of your marketing budget. Always be aware of your financial situation. There are several creative and unique promotional techniques that can be used in your internet marketing plan, which will not break your bank. Ironically, many have discovered that several of the low-cost marketing methods are just as useful as the more expensive ones.

Message boards and forums have taken over cyberspace. Joining these forums and discussion groups is another excellent way to market on a budget. Engage in groups related to your chosen service or program. Frequently posting questions and answers will build your reputation in the business community, while at the same time, advertising your services. This form of internet marketing has grown to be one of the most effective methods.

E-mail marketing has been coined as one of the most cost-efficient internet marketing methods. To utilize this marketing technique to the fullest, you must first establish a broad e-mail or newsletter list. This list will keep your customers up to date with all of your programs and services. The only problem with this form of marketing is the issue of SPAM. Be sure that each person on your list has requested to receive e-mails from you. If too many complaints are received, your web site could be closed down, and your business could be in danger.

Internet Marketing 101

2006-04-16T11:33:00.000-07:00

By Greg Cesar

Starting an online business does not have to be difficult. Mostly, it is a matter of knowing where to go to get the information needed to get started. Internet Marketing is the term used for marketing your business effectively on the Internet.

Many online businesses fail not due to lack of knowledge or resources, but because they aren't marketed properly. The Internet does not respond to traditional marketing methods the way a brick and mortar business would. The bottom line is, if you don't know Internet Marketing, then you need to hire someone that does. This is true because it's better to start your Internet Marketing campaign off right in the first place than to try to go back and correct it once you already have a viable web presence. This can be both costly and time consuming, and, as is the case with most Internet Marketers, you are probably short on both time and money. To start your online business, you must do the following:

* Decide what products or services you want to offer
* Get a reliable, knowledgeable web hosting company
* Design and build your website
* Develop an Internet Marketing Plan
* Implement the Internet Marketing Plan

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, it is if you have someone to do all that work for you, and the money to pay them. However, if you are short on money, you will need to do some of the work yourself. The fact is that a majority of Internet Marketers do most of the work for their sites themselves, unless it is too technical and out of their realm. Below are some of the steps involved in basic Internet Marketing:

* Optimizing your Website
* Getting Reciprocal Links from other, relevant sites

Niche Web Directories

2006-04-16T11:25:00.000-07:00

By Adrian Lawrence

Niche web directories are a great way for small online business owners to list their information in a place where others in the industry and potential customers can easily find them. Directories group sites that are all related to one theme or subject. What niche web directories would best suit your business?

Niche Web Directories Versus Search Engines
Niche web directories are different from search engines in that they are highly specialized. Go to a craft directory, for example, and type in the words 'space travel' and you'll probably come up with craft supplies to make planetary systems. Very specific! You won't find NASA's website or scientific analyzes of recent space shuttle flights in an arts and crafts niche web directory. But go to space or science niche web directory and you may find a link to the craft site that specializes in making model space shuttles.

Niche web directories do relate to search engines in that search engines rank them highly. Due to the intensity of filtering that most directories apply to the sites that they include, search engines highly respect them. This level of respect is good for the page rankings of all the sites listed in the directories. Getting your site listed in appropriate niche web directories provides you with a one way link from a reputable, highly ranked site and that's one of the most important aspects of the page ranking formula for search engines.

Traffic
When you get web traffic through listings on search engines, you may or may not be what the web surfer was looking for. Yes, there is the chance that the person didn't know that you existed and, now that she does, will bookmark your site to return for purchases at a later date. However, this is a big 'if.' Traffic that you receive as a result of niche web directories will generally be more apt to buy because a higher percentage of them were looking specifically for you and what you have to offer.

Partners and Competitors
Because niche web directories are based around themes or industries, the editors are usually experts in the chosen theme. This helps them to choose neighbor listings that are relevant and high quality, minimizing spam entries and putting you in good company. Just as a customer may search these listings in hopes of finding everything he or she needs to, you, too, can search them to check out your competition. What else is out there? Who is competing for your target audience? Perhaps you will see a niche within a niche that needs attention and fill it.
Also, because links raise your page ranking with search engines, niche web directories are a great way to find companies who sell complimentary products and services with whom you can trade links. If you sell antique car parts, you may want to have a link page that includes links to antique car show sites or fan sites for antique cars. Building up your links to other relevant sites in your industry will help increase your page ranking in search engines and will increase your traffic as well.

Niche Web Directory Options
Some niche web directories are so focused on attracting the most qualified sites that they will pay to list if you apply and qualify. This is always a great sign of a specific, reputable niche web directory. Some will also offer you highlighting options like placing your website listing in bold, brackets, or highlighting it for optimum visibility.
It's important that webmasters do not ignore the opportunities that niche web directories provide. Exposure, especially in this form, can do nothing but boost your traffic, boost your sales, and boost your profits.

Internet Marketing Tips for Beginners

2006-04-16T11:20:00.000-07:00

By Waller Jamison

If you are just starting out online, you will be constantly on the lookout for internet marketing tips. You want to know the quickest way to get your business going and you don’t want to have to buy hundreds of e-books to get the information you need.

The problem is that your search for tips can leave you overloaded with information. You’ve probably already signed up for every newsletter out there. Although there are many good free email newsletters available, you’ll soon find yourself swamped with advice – some of it conflicting.
And you’ll find that every marketer and his dog is offering you the best product and in fact you may open your inbox to find that 20 people are trying to sell you the same thing at the same time!
So how can you choose the best way forward? The secret is to focus. Find something which is not too complicated – something which you feel comfortable doing. Look for a method which is working for other people and then concentrate your efforts on that, until you have achieved your first goal, which could be something fairly modest like $200 a week.

Some areas in which other people are making money are: creating and selling digital products, selling goods on E-bay and affiliate marketing.

E-books, audios and videos can be created easily and cheaply and once they are set up online, can be downloaded automatically as soon as the customer pays. The downside is that they take time to produce and you’ll need to do a fair bit of market research beforehand to make sure your product will sell.

E-bay is an increasingly popular way of making an extra income, but does require buying products and then posting them once they have been sold.
Affiliate marketing is probably the easiest starting point for anyone who is new to the internet. Someone else has done the market research and produced the product, the sales letter and the marketing materials. One of the best internet marketing tips is to focus on someone who is successful, learn from them and track your results. Once you are successful with someone else’s product, you can apply the same internet marketing tips to your own digital products.

Market Your Business Using Practical Small Business Internet Marketing Tips and Tricks

2006-04-16T11:17:00.000-07:00

By Lonnie Pacelli

Got a website but no traffic? Is your small business internet marketing ineffective? Consider these small business internet marketing tips and tricks to help drive traffic to your website:
* Get an automated eCommerce system - These can be really good, very comprehensive and very inexpensive. The good ones can do everything from customer base management to product management to shopping cart to newsletter broadcasts.

* Get a cheap and reliable merchant account provider - You can get merchant account providers that do both the merchant account and internet gateway for you. Hint: your bank is probably more expensive than the discount providers out there.

* Put a link back to your website in your email autosignature - This doesn't need to be obnoxious, just a simple link that email recipients can click on to see your website.

* Do selective link trading - Link trade, but make sure the content on the other website is similar to your own. Don't touch "link farms" with a ten-foot pole; search engines hate them.

* Write articles and include your website address - There are a number of article databases out there. Find some article databases which house content similar to yours and write a few articles. You'd be amazed at where your articles show up!

* Write newsletters - Allow for customers and visitors to subscribe to a newsletter to get regular visibility to you and your company.

* Consider using a search engine submission services - These services submit your site to multiple search engines & directories. Can be helpful particularly if your website is new.
* Set up an affiliates program - Allow for others to promote your products on a commission basis. Again a good eCommerce system should already have this built in.

* Download the Google Toolbar - The Google Toolbar has a nifty feature which shows you the page rank (0-10 scale) of every site you visit. The higher your page ranking the higher your placement in search engines.

* Set up multiple websites - Got three services you perform? Set up three different websites with domain names that match your keywords. Super cheap to do and can be very effective.

* Consider setting up a Google AdWords account - You pay on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis to get your website advertised. Can be effective but also can get very expensive.

A Knack For Niches

2006-04-16T11:14:00.000-07:00

By Sally Taylor

If you are attempting to establish yourself as an Internet Marketer you are probably finding much information available about getting into your own niche. Everywhere you turn there are niche products for sale. Forums are chocked with posts talking about niche marketing. Throughout all the talk and advertising, though, the key to one mystery for the beginner seems to be missing. How exactly do you choose a niche?

Choosing a niche to develop is not just a matter of seeing a product that you think will make some quick cash for you. You might like the idea of selling Internet security products, but if you know very little about Internet security, those products won’t take you very far. To fully develop your business, you are going to need to be an authority on your subject. You will need to communicate with people and write about your subject. People are not likely to want to do business with someone who is clueless about their own business field. Despite what you hear about making money without work and overnight millions being made, the truth is you are going to be putting a lot of work into your business, so you need to choose something that you find interesting enough to keep you motivated as well. If you can’t see yourself spending large amounts of time on it – don’t bother with it, it’s not for you.

The easiest way to get started in choosing a niche is to make a list of all the things you are both interested in and good at. If you feel that leaves you out, you aren’t thinking hard enough. I heard a woman moan about being “just a housewife” and having no real skills once. It was true that she was a homebody who didn’t get out much and spent most of her time caring for her home and family, but she had some real talents. This woman could organize a junk yard. There wasn’t anywhere you could look that innovative ideas hadn’t been used in organizing her closets and cupboards. She was also a master at solving tough cleaning problems. No real skill? I don’t think so. Don’t ever discredit yourself. You are very good at some things, even if they seem off-the-wall, make sure to list them.

Once you have your list, mark each item in it in order of your preference for it. Now comes the fun part – research. First you want to search the Internet and find out what is already being done with your subject. Finding out a niche already has numerous businesses does not necessarily mean you want to give up on it. In fact, it can be proof that your subject is in high demand. What you need to do is take a serious look at what is being offered and what angle you have that will make your business stand out from the herd. What can you offer that is missing? If you know your field well enough, you are sure to find something missing.

Next, you need to think about the ways that you can make money in this niche. Are there products available for you to sell or do you have an original one of your own? Will you need to physically handle or ship products and is that feasible for you? Will the cost of doing business be low enough to allow you some profit? Can you earn from organizing a service that other webmasters in your niche will find beneficial? Are there any forums about the subject, and if so, what are people saying about it? What kind of money and supplies will it take to get up and running in this niche? Can you handle it on your own or do you have a partner that can fill in the areas that you are lacking skill in, such as website building and maintenance?

If you don’t see all of the answers to your questions immediately, that doesn’t mean giving up. Great ideas don’t always just pop up instantly. Go down your list and research each item you have listed just as you did the first. Something very good idea may just jump out at you right away in another subject. If the subject proves to be workable for you, than that is where you will want to start. If you do not see a good way to market a niche, resist the temptation to pick one just to get started quickly. Spending time and money on something that just won’t work can quickly become a nightmare. Building new niches will become easier as you gain practice with your first one. So be patient.

Once you have researched all of your subjects, if you still have not found the right niche area for you, the problem may lie in your knowledge of Internet Marketing rather than in the subjects you have chosen. You may just want to do some study or join a group where you can learn more about building businesses on the Net before you attempt to jump into building your own business. Business on the Internet is the same as anything else. You need knowledge and skill to work your trade.

The idea of building businesses and earning staggering income on the Internet has become an overly glamorized idea. The truth is that it takes much learning, work, and time to build a business, so if you are not knocking down millions right away, don’t become discouraged. Many of the top earners will admit they did not get there overnight, even if some of their ventures since becoming successful do explode quickly. If you keep your focus and are willing to go through the necessary steps, you will see results if you have chosen your niches with care.

“How To Crank Out Million Dollar Product Ideas From Scratch”

2006-04-16T10:06:00.000-07:00

(c) Ewen Chia
CEO, Midas Touch Marketing

Are you currently stuck trying to think up ideas for that million dollar product?

I’ve got a surefire formula to get you unstuck and on the road to generating more profitable product ideas than you can handle.

First, let’s talk about the real reason people hit a blank wall when they start brainstorming. The sad fact is that our brains are a bit lazy.

The human mind hates sustained concentration and always seeks the shortest, quickest and easiest path to solving any problem.

When you sit down with pen and paper in hand and ask yourself, “What product do I want to create?”, you’ve just given your brain an overwhelmingly open-ended question...

The problem is that the term ’product” is far too abstract. It includes literally thousands of possibilities. Your mind gets overwhelmed and doesn’t know where to begin.

Think of your mind as a young child on a playground. You want to give him a clear set of boundaries. He can play freely and safely as long as he knows your parameters – but set him loose with the command to “do anything”, and he’s likely to run out of your control.

Fortunately, there’s a formula you can use to take control of the brainstorming process...

This formula gives your mind something it absolutely loves: order and categorization.

When you use this formula, ideas will come to you automatically. The reason is that you are giving your mind a logical map to branch out from, rather than asking it to start in the middle of nowhere.

Are you ready to learn the formula for churning out million dollar product ideas at will?

Here it is:
==> Consumer Class + Product Purpose = Winning Idea

Each of the above variable represents a set of questions you must answer.

Your answers do not lock you into anything. Instead, they create a series of sub categories to guide you in your brainstorming sessions. These sub categories enable you to open up new tightly defined niches the farther you go.

(1) Let’s start with the “Consumer Class” variable:
Who is your consumer? Is he/she:
- An individual?
- A small business?
- A large business?
- An end user at home or at work?
- A single product consumer?
- A bulk product consumer?

Also ask the question of what your consumer is interested in, and which market niche he/she belongs to.

(2) Now, let’s look at the “Product Purpose” variable:

What is the purpose of this product? Is it:
- Pure information and education?
- Aimed at solving a problem quickly and efficiently?
- Designed for entertainment?
- Factual or fictional?
- Text only or will it include software, audio or video?
- Complete as is or will it require updates?
- Suitable for download or better off rolled into a membership site?

You can even add additional variables to plug into the formula if you want.

Notice how each variable opens up further room for categorization? Let’s say that you chose “a single product consumer” for your consumer class variable, and “fiction” for your product purpose variable. What you really have is a fictional entertainment product.

At this point, you have a new map to branch off from!

What comes to mind when you think of a single product consumer? E-books come to mind. Maybe the product should be a work of fiction in e-book format?

This sounds good, so now all you have to do is figure out what types of fiction people are actually searching for online.

The next step is to go to overture.com and type in some keywords. In this case, I tried out “e-book”, “fiction” and “stories”. It appears that Harry Potter e-books are popular, but you risk copyright infringement on that topic. The number one niche for “fiction” happens to be “fan fiction”. Fan fiction usually involves new story lines (often of an explicit sexual nature) between popular science fiction characters. We’ll pass on that one as well.

However, the keyword “stories” pulls up something interesting: ghost stories. Here’s an area where you could collect a lot of content from the public domain.

You could also hire a professional fiction writer from Elance.com and have him or her put together some ghost stories or old wives’ tales for you - and voila! Instant niche product.

You can come up with other fun ideas within this one niche by continuing to play with the variables. For example, if you repackage the product purpose in the audio-visual category, you might come up with other ideas like:

- A CD or downloadable set of mp3’s containing “spooky sounds”
- A set of graphics or screensavers for Halloween
- Some novelty software like a virtual ouija board or ghost-hunting game

Now, wasn’t that easy?

Four new ideas generated almost instantly and you didn’t even have to break a sweat...just fill in the blanks of this formula and the product ideas pop out like magic!

A powerful way to reap huge profits here is to act on the right ideas fast. Turn million dollar ideas into million dollar products.

5 Explosive Marketing Strategies For Exponential Business Growth!

2006-04-16T10:03:00.000-07:00

(c) Jo Han MokManaging Director, Midas Touch Marketing

Do you know the answer to this question?
"What can you do now to INSTANTLY increase theprofitability of your business?"
Well, the answer is surprising simple.
Change your strategy.
Your strategy is the master purpose of your business. It'sthe fabric that binds your business systems together andthe bedrock of your business's entire operating approach.
Here are 5 'instantly deployable' strategies that can takeyour business to new heights, regardless of what product orservice you're selling.

Explosive Strategy #1: Big Picture Awareness
Napoleon Hill listed "Accurate Thought" as one of the mostimportant success principles.
Most business owners don't even "think" about theirbusinesses and simply adopt a reactive approach.
The truth is, you can't go anywhere unless you know whereyou're going.
And frankly, this is why so many businesses out there fail,because they 'know not what they're doing'.
Try this simple exercise to cultivate Big PictureAwareness:
Get a whole bunch of colored pencils and a sketchpad, andstart creating a mind map of your business or next project.
You should be able to look at the mind map and instantly tell:
. Who's doing what. (For instance, web-design --> Webmaster) . The possible options your 'prospect' will take, and the outcomes. Points of upsell, downsell, cross-sell
In short, you should have every single piece of the 'puzzle' there.
Objectively, your strategy should bring you the mostresults in the shortest period of time on the mostsustainable basis. Once your master strategy is in place,everything else is merely tactical.

Explosive Strategy #2: Funnel Vision
Always remember: A Buyer, is a buyer, is a buyer.
Every business should capitalize on the lifetime value ofthe customer through expansive repurchases of products andservices.
Have a marketing funnel in place. Introduce ancillaryproducts that you deem to be performance enhancing. Thesecan be other people's products which you can obtain fromjoint venturing.
Most importantly, you'll want to graduate your customer tohigher ticket items as it's high octane fuel for businessgrowth.

Explosive Strategy #3: The "Inner Circle"
You'll find that there are many people who are "belongers".
Such people tend to pride themselves in being a 'part' ofan elite group and highly value membership and association.
The savvy entrepreneur will do well to take advantage ofsuch behavioral traits and cater to this 'select' group.
There is a threefold advantage in doing so. Firstly, it's ahighly efficient way to 'bundle' goods or servicestogether. Secondly, it's a great way to introducecontinuity in your business, and last but not least, itencourages hyper-responsiveness.

Explosive Strategy #4: Identifying Hyper-responsiveness
Have you ever encountered a customer who seems to buyalmost anything you put out? Customers who seem to be on"standby", waiting just to grab just about anything newthat you put out or recommend?
It's a great idea to group such people into an "A-list".
The 'high rollers' if you will.
Usually, such people will come from your own database, andit should be your business priority to encouragehyper-responsive behavior. Make sure hyper-responsivenessis always well rewarded with surprise bonuses, freebies,and nurturing communication.
Remember, because of the Pareto principle, 80% of yourprofits will come from 20% of your customers. Guess whobelongs to the 20%?

Explosive Strategy #5: Multiple Income Sources
You're practically leaving money on the table if yourbusiness is limited to a few channels.
Affiliate Programs have made it possible for almost anybusiness to make money from ancillary products at a fewmouse clicks.
Why go through the hassle of product development and thecosts associated with it. Remember, you're never in the'business' of anything, but you're always in the businessof marketing the 'business'.

And all you have to do as an affiliate is basically market.
Though many affiliate programs are free to join, it wouldalways be a good idea to purchase the product in questionand do a thorough review first before recommending it.
While you don't exactly need 'brass balls', it isimperative to note though, that as an informationfacilitator, you should feel good about recommending aproduct that you sincerely know will benefit your list, andnot be afraid of getting 'flamed' for trying to pitch.
If someone is offended and unsubscribes, then just shrugand say 'next'. You don't need such people on your list.

There you have it, my "Big Five" strategies for optimalbusiness growth and profitability.
Use them, and watch your business take on a new dynamism! A positive side effect may include swelling of your bank account.
Best of all, they don't cost a cent to implement, so don't wait.
The time is now.
