22 Jan 09 How you can make money with PPC (Pay Per Click Ads)
Pay per Click Explained
Make money online with Pay per Click Ads
Search engines and advertising networks such as Google, Yahoo, MSN Pay-per-click advertising, or PPC, is pretty simple. Search engines and services, such as Google or Yahoo!, provide sponsored listings on a per-bid basis. Advertisers pay a fee for each time a visitor clicks on their advertisement and enters their website. This is in addition to their ‘organic’ search results, which are still powered by a combination of keywords found on a site, link popularity and other formulae. Anyone who has a website can also make money from “pay per click” programs as a publisher by displaying advertisements and collecting a commission for each pay per click.
The Advantages of PPC
Pay per click programs are usually easy to set up and maintain. The other advantage of “pay per click” is that they pay a commission even if the visitor doesn’t make a purchase.
The Disadvantages of PPC
Pay per click ads may distract visitors from your products.
PPC only pay a few cents per click. You need to send a lot of clicks to earn a considerable amount.
eBay, YouTube use them so I believe they work.
Other popular pay per click programs to look into include: overture.com, google adwords and goclick.com
I believe the most popular one is Google Ads Have a look to an alternative to Google Ad Sense: There is an alternative to Google Ads

22 Jan 09 Publishing Articles with a Business Mind to Make Money
Take advantage of every opportunity to advertise your business
I always say that through valuable content you will get more visitors to your site and ultimately sell online, get more clients, get more clicks, etc. but you have to keep in mind that your content should also promote your business.
For example:
Your business is selling web hosting so you publish an article about the 5 things you should consider when selecting a web hosting provider.
You can just list:
-Price
-Customer Service
-Reliability
-Additional Services
-Location
Or you can have a selling approach and say:
Webhosting prices start from $3.95 to $100+ per month.
Normally prices depend on what the Hosting company decides to charge.
Company A and Company B can charge you $ 10 and $100 for the same product.
At http://www.v10domains.com you can find web hosting for under $4 per month for a service that is worth more than $100. They offer this price because they are a big organization that prefers to have 100 customers happy rather than 1 unhappy customer paying $100.
As you can see here the advertiser is taking advantage of the opportunity to promote http://www.v10domains.com - Reliable webhosting and cheap domain names.
22 Jan 09 To make money consistent follow up is a most
 Do you potential customers forget about you?Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person’s need for information quickly! But, after you’ve delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?
If you are like most Internet marketers, you don’t. When you don’t follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him. Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn’t receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere. Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?Following up with leads is more than just a process - it’s an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don’t follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process. Consistent follow up gets results!When I first started marketing and following up with prospects, I used a follow up method that I now call the “List Technique.” I had a large database containing the names and e-mail addresses of people who had specifically requested information about my products and services. These prospects had already received my first letter by the time they requested more information, so I used the company’s latest news as a follow up piece.I would write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information from me. While this probably did help me win a few additional orders, it wasn’t a very good follow up method. Why isn’t the “List Technique” very effective?
What follow up method really works?Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning. First, you’ll need to develop your follow up messages. If you’ve been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter. Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn’t have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services! Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services. Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message. The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect’s mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately! Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn’t yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn’t the right color or doesn’t have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it’s unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.) The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don’t want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up! Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions! Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors’. You will make the sale! Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don’t want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart. Following up effectively seems complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! So many potential customers are lost because of poor follow up - don’t you want to be one of the few to get it right?

Another good way to promote your business is through posters and business cards. Put up posters where your niche market is. Leave some flyers or postcards where your potential consumers may go. For example: If you are an expert in children consider leaving postcards at children doctors’ practices, schools, children activities centers.

21 Jan 09 To Make Money is Crucial to Leverage Your Sales
| Leverage Your Sales is Critical to Your Success |
|
We often talk leverage. In business, how you leverage each function of your business will differentiate whether you just scrape by or make massive profits.
If you can make an advertisement generate 100 leads instead of 20; get clients to purchase 5 times per year instead of 3; upsell clients to a $3,000 ‘package’ instead of the standard $1,500 offer; develop a referral process that generates 1.5 new clients per client.
These are examples of leverage. And this is where massive hidden profits exist in your business. How well you leverage your sales is critical to your success.
Advertising and marketing is one of the biggest cost bases in small business. The money you spend to aquire new clients directly impacts your bottom line profit. If it costs you $1,000 to acquire to new client worth $1,500, you make $500 bottom line profit.
If you can reduce the cost to acquire that client from $1,000 to $500, you have effectively DOUBLED your bottom line net profit.
If you extrapolate that across your business you can effectively double your net income almost immediately. You can easily move from $30,000 income, to $60,000, to $100,000. Simply by improving this one stage in your sales process.
This is the power and importance of selling. Consider the evolution of experts in their field. Think of Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dwyer, Jay Abraham, Stephen Covey and Michael Gerber, for example.
How did these experts become experts? How did they become so successful? What’s their greatest point of distinction? There’s no doubt these experts have high technical competence.
But their technical competence was NOT the driver behind their extraordinary success. They each started at a level of technical competence comparable to their peers. It was their ability to SELL their service that was (and still is) their greatest point of distinction and key business growth driver.
Being highly proficient at selling their services allowed them to:
· Build their client numbers; · Identify the challenges, needs and desires of their clients; · Grow in technical competence in areas desirous to clients; · Develop niche services and products aligned to client needs; · Build brand recognition; · Sell more effectively.
This growth cycle is underpinned by the differentiating ability AND WILLINGNESS to master selling. Only by selling effectively were they able to identify the needs of their niche; expand their technical competence in these areas; and develop highly desirable services and products. You’ll find it very difficult to build a successful business if you attempt to lead business growth with technical competence. Taken from the LCIA e-zine |

21 Jan 09 Make Money Using Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate programs (also referred to as “reseller” or “associate” programs) are a great way to get other people called “affiliates” to promote your product or service for you. For every paying customer your affiliates refer to your web site, you pay them a commission. And since you only pay when you make money - it’s extremely low risk.
Your affiliates send visitors to your web site using banner ads, text links, letters of referral, and so on, while you track these referrals using special software. It’s an extremely powerful way to grow your business because it automates your traffic generation.
To get started with your own affiliate program, you need to:
· Set your commissions. (To keep your affiliates motivated, you should pay them 40% to 50% of your profits per sale.)
· Get software to track the traffic and sales of your affiliates so you know what to pay them.
· Provide your affiliates with tools they can use to promote your products (like e-mails, banners, etc.).
· Recruit your affiliates. (Look for sites that target your market, and invite them to become affiliates.)
· Affiliate programs are an ideal way to automate your traffic generation because other people market your web site for you - and you don’t lift a finger.
· Your sales increase on a daily basis - but they do all the selling for you, and it doesn’t cost you a dime until they send you paying customers.

21 Jan 09 Make Money Reprogramming your Limiting Beliefs
The good news is: we can “reprogram” our mind and replace our negative, limiting beliefs for positive contributing ones.
Positive brainwashing is what I like to call it! This can be done by the use of so called “affirmations”. An affirmation is a positive self talk statement, stated in the present tense that covers a goal you want to achieve and that ‘overrules’ negative beliefs towards that goal. An example is “I easily do 10 sales calls a day”. Or “I am an excellent negotiator”. By stating this affirmation regularly during your day, you will achieve the goal you have set for yourself easier. This positive self talk helps your mind to overcome beliefs that you have about yourself, that limit your success and actions. Compare our mind with a computer: when you change the input, the output will change accordingly. So if you have the limiting belief that you are no good in public speaking (probably because of negative experiences in the past) you can actually reprogram your mind by stating the following affirmation: “ I am an excellent public speaker. I love to speak for huge audiences and people love to hear me talk”. By affirming this belief over and over, you actually start to believe it and your mind will find a way to make this statement a reality. At some stage, you might decide to do a course in public speaking, or someone might ask you to speak at some kind of seminar, which forces you to work on your speaking skills. Somehow, these affirmations help you to reach the ‘goal’ you have set for yourself and open doors for you that would otherwise have been kept closed. And this works for virtually everything. Belief and it will happen.
Imagine standing for a big river, with a heavy stream. You have to cross it, but you don’t think you can actually do it. Your belief is keeping you from crossing, although you physically should be able to do it easily. It just looks too hard! Then someone else comes up from behind you, and without thinking starts crossing the river and gets to the other side. His belief was positive, and he knew he could do it. The interesting thing is that this will probably influence your belief: “if he can do it, I can do it too” and you will then cross the river without any problem at all. Similar things happen when a group of people is introduced to the phenomenon of fire walking. At first a big group of people will say that there is no way they will walk on fire. Until…other people with higher beliefs go first, then all of a sudden everyone else rushes over to do it as well.
So think about YOUR beliefs, and try to discover which belief are actually holding you back from reaching your full potential in your life.
Then, one by one, start eliminating these beliefs from your system. Formulate an affirmation that counters your negative belief, and re affirm it daily. Write them in your diary, on your bathroom mirror, next to your computer; anywhere you see it often and say the affirmation out loud as often as possible. You will be happily surprised by the results!
