Jeff Paul's Short Cuts to Internet Millions

Jeff Paul's Short Cuts to Internet Millions
Jeff Paul is I have to tell the truth the man that got me
interested in Internet Marketing. I kept seeing that dumb
infomercial (sorry Jeff, I know you make a killing) on T.V.
every morning with those two girls that are sort of busting
out a little to say the least. They seemed to be doing
great with the program why can't I do it too? I know it is
just television.

Any way, I went right to my computer and did a search for
Jeff Paul's Short Cuts to Internet Millions. My point here
is this; his commercials got me interested so I began my
search for a home based online business that was
legitimate. Not my first search by any means but my first
search for a internet only based program.

There is no way in today's seen that you can make money
online with "absolutely no computer skills" for $39.95.
What about at the very least setting up your own individual
URL domain names? I mean maybe that sounds easy for some
but you better at least know how to do that. You can not
advertise a website when the address is two miles long with
question marks and slashes all through it.

The Jeff Paul story is actually a very interesting success
story. He pulled himself out of huge debt to build this
giant marketing empire. A lot of his techniques come from
some great oldies marketing exports. His program was very
good in the past yet in my opinion for current times is
just a little played out.

I am sure there are a lot of people that are making it work
or he would be out of business. I never like to offend
people with my reviews. It's not worth the hate mail.

Again though I have to admit his infomercial draws you in
like a vacuum. It wasn't until I really began to research
different programs and Online Marketing that I was able to
see through some of the smoke.

Jeff Paul makes me think of good old Don Lapre for those of
you that remember his infomercials back in the mid 90's
"you can make so much money…" I guess in a lot of ways
that is a real compliment to Jeff.

Jeff Paul's Short Cuts to Internet Millions are possibly a
way to get your feet wet. Just don't be too surprised If
you are solicited for multiple expensive upgrades, paid
training and costly mentoring. Most programs do that by the
way and I know it is taught as a tactic when learning
marketing, (up sells and backend sales and such.)

If you know very little about Internet Marketing having ten
web sites does you absolutely no good. People can only buy
something if they can first get to the store. This is the
part that less than 1% of people getting started online
ever learn. How to create massive, effective, and a lot of
times free advertising. I can tell you it takes a lot of
hard, honest, well spent time investigating, researching
and learning from others.

Three Simple Steps to Making Your Website User Friendly

Three Simple Steps to Making Your Website User Friendly
If you were to walk into a business establishment, but you
couldn't find the products that were being offered for sale
or someone that could help you, chances are pretty good
that you would leave, right? When you look at a website
that's poorly designed, the same things happened. Visitors
who can't immediately figure out a website are more than
likely going to go back to the web search page to see what
other sites are available. It's a matter of creating a user
friendly site - and here's how you can do it.

Step #1: Think Less is More

Many businesses think that adding a lot of bells and
whistles to a website is the way to increase their customer
traffic. When you have a lot of graphics, Java
applications, and other add-ons, you're not only going to
confuse your visitor, but you are also going to overwhelm
them. These are distractions that will make your website
load slowly and, for some visitors, it may not load at all.

You need to start thinking about creating a website where
less is more. You want to include the things that your
customer needs in order to learn more about your business
and to buy products or schedule services. Everything else
is taking away from the basic goals of your business -
which is also taking away your ability to make money.

Here are some things that you will want to remove from your
website, or at least from the home page. Visitors make
their decisions about your website from the first page they
see, so this is where you need to quickly establish a
professional impression.

Remove bright colors. Remove flashing words. Remove video
clips (unless that's your business). Remove animated
graphics.

Step #2: Remember the Basic Things Your Customer Needs

Like the first step, you need to realize that less is more.
There are only a few things that a customer needs when
they enter your site:

A home page that identifies who you are and what you sell.
An About Us page that talks about the company. A list of
products. A way to pay for things. A place to get help or
contact information.

Try to look at this list as a check list of the things you
absolutely have to include in order to be user friendly.
These are things that a website visitor is going to look
for, so when you don't include them, you will confuse them
and often make them look for another website that is more
accessible in terms of their needs.

Step #3: Make Sure Contact Information/Help is Available

A way to contact you can be as simple as an email address,
while other websites have 'live' support desks. In most
cases, as long as there is a way for a customer to get
help, this will help them in their experience with you.
You might want to include a FAQ or frequently asked
questions section that will help them with basic queries,
while offering an email address for more complicated
questions. A phone number is another easy way for
customers to contact you and for them to feel like you are
always available for their needs.

Extra Credit: Look to Other Successful Websites

If you still aren't sure what to include and what not to
include on your website, look at other websites that you
frequent. You will notice this formula is the same. They
offer simple ways to access different features, without
being confusing or too energetic.

You can also include a comments section for visitors to
tell you about their website experience so that you can
make adjustments as necessary too.

Review of Wealthy Marketer

Review of Wealthy Marketer
Back in May 2007, I started looking for an online business
to help supplement my monthly income. My criteria were
that the business be easy to learn, inexpensive, provide
good training, and deliver a substantial enough income to
make any time commitment worth the effort. In this
article, I will describe the Wealthy Marketer program,
which is one of the more favorable businesses I found.

Wealthy Marketer is an online network marketing business
that is relatively new, started by Alex Hunter. Here's how
it works. When a person joins, they receive their own
Wealthy Marketer website used to promote the business. In
addition, they receive the "$900-a-Day" e-book, which walks
them through all of the setup and marketing techniques
used, along with lots of other training and software to
help market the business. Each sale in the Wealthy
Marketer program pays its owner a $900 commission
immediately, and starting with the first sale.
Additionally, a $200 commission goes to the owner's
sponsor, and another $100 goes up one more level.

In evaluating the potential monthly income, I ran a quick
calculation. Assuming a new member and everyone on his or
her team made one sale a month, the income for the year for
that member would be $14,000. At two a month, the annual
number jumps to $38,400. At three a month, the amount
balloons to $79,200.

The initial start-up cost for Wealthy Marketer is $1,497.
The distribution of this fee is as follows: - $900 goes
to the immediate sponsor - $200 goes to the sponsors'
sponsor (sometimes called 1-up) - $100 goes to the next
level up sponsor (sometimes called 2-up) - $297 goes to
Wealthy Marketer corporate, for administration and future
growth

One of the main aspects that I found attractive about this
system is the idea receiving commissions for sales made by
the newest members, namely the $200 and $100 payments. The
reason is simple; it behooves current owners to help those
that join with them to make as many sales as possible,
since it has a direct effect on their own income stream.

Another favorable aspect is that the ownership team is
showing a high degree of dedication to the training
material provided. Each time I have spoken with the
owners, they are putting a new document or training video
together.

The Realistic Approach

Any network marketing business out there will promote
itself showing how the potential achievable income is
immeasurable. However, it is in everyone's best interest
to keep expectations reasonable. Most businesses promise
large sums of money returned within hours. In some cases,
this does actually occur, but this is not the norm. It
depends largely on the experience and time commitment. You
rarely (if ever) read that many people never make a dime,
but that happens as well. In other words, people brand new
to this business should not realistically expect to be rich
in a matter of months with no effort.

A more realistic approach to this business is to apply
persistence and patience, be ready to spend money on
advertising prior to making any sales, and be open to
learning as much as possible. Establishing a persistent
web presence is crucial. This is true with Wealthy
Marketer and any other marketing business.

That said, once the system is in place, and the first
breakthrough sales have occurred, the system does require
less and less of a time and money commitment, and will
provide a greater and greater income.

How To Generate Free Website Traffic

How To Generate Free Website Traffic
Do you want to know what the best quality website traffic
is? That would be free or nearly free targeted traffic, of
course. Let's see what you can do to get as much free
website traffic as you want.

Pay per click is the fastest way to get targeted traffic,
but many webmasters just can not afford it. The nice thing
about ppc traffic is you can get on page one of a search
engine like Google or Yahoo in a matter of minutes once
your campaign is set up. The downside is the cost which
eliminates many of us from doing it.

You can still get quality targeted traffic if you do it
right. One place to start is doing that I call forum
marketing. Joining online forum discussion groups can be a
tremendous source of quality traffic. In this type of
marketing you want to join a forum that relates to the
theme of your website. Join in the discussion and offer
something to the group. As your reputation grows so does
the trust people naturally have in you. Most forums will
let you have a signature file containing a little
classified ad about you or your business. You can include
the url to your website and this is how you get traffic
from forum marketing. There are people who lurk in the
shadows of forums and get all of their ideas just from the
links in the profile or signature file of the members
posting. Some of those people may become your best traffic
and it only cost you the time to be involved.

Article marketing is another excellent form of free
traffic. If you can develop a style in your articles that
is both informative and entertaining your readers will want
to learn more about you. In your articles you are allowed
to include a resource box. This is a chance for you to
direct the readers to your website or blog. By telling them
to check you out after they have read your article you will
get some free traffic. Knowing where to submit your
articles to get the greatest number of readers is important
as well. Generally directories such as EzineArticles.com
and IdeaMarketers.com are two of the best, but there are
literally thousands of directories you can submit to. Using
an article submission service such as SubmitYourArticle.com
is a great way to get your articles out to hundreds of
directories with one click. They offer a great program
called Article Leverage that allows you to re-write one
article into hundreds of unique versions. This helps you
avoid any duplicate content penalty if you feel there is
one.

Today to compete for free traffic you must have a blog.
Even better is a Wordpress blogging platform which helps
you to take complete advantage of social bookmarking.
Getting your blog articles in directories such as Netscape
and Digg can bring you all kinds of free traffic when your
articles are read. A side benefit is that search engines
love social directories. A well written article can end up
on page one of Google in a couple of days bringing you
hundreds or even thousands of free visitors for days,
weeks, months, and even years to come. If you are not
blogging and doing it correctly you need to get going on
that.

This was just a few ways to generate free website traffic.
There are many more ways and you are only limited by the
time you have to explore and implement them. The key is to
do as many as possible. Over time you will save a lot of
money and generate a large base of repeat traffic as well.

The Secret To Get Paid To (GPT) Sites

The Secret To Get Paid To (GPT) Sites
I started investigating get paid to or GPT sites as a
natural extension of paid survey websites. While they are
different, there are also some similarities such as the low
barrier to entry and the fact that some GPT sites also host
surveys. There are a lot of get paid to sites out there
I've found, but some are certainly more reputable than
others, especially those that pioneered the industry like
Cash Crate.

I thought it would be helpful to put together an
introduction to get paid to sites which are a long proven
method for making money online and are especially useful
for those who are unfamiliar with building websites or
selling online.

Introduction to Get Paid to Sites:
You can think of get paid to websites as a middleman
between you and advertisers. The advertising companies pay
GPT sites to generate leads and send potential customers to
them to see their services. The GPT sites then pass along
a portion of their earnings to you when you visit their
advertisers and perform some action. These actions can be
any of the following:

• Visiting a website and registering to take surveys
• Opening a free user account on the website
• Reading email advertisements
• Referring a friend to the website
• Purchasing a refundable trial subscription, service or
product
• Signing up for a newsletter

These are the most common actions, but there can be others
as well. After doing these offers you get paid from the
GPT site once they verify your approval for the offer. For
example, you may get paid $20 for signing up for a free
magazine subscription trial.

As long as you make sure to cancel your subscription before
the trial period is over you get paid $20 for free. You
can make a lot of money with get paid to sites and you can
make substantially more if you have a credit card that you
can use to sign up for free trials.

Of course there are also offers available to those without
credit cards although they generally pay less. These
offers may pay anywhere from $0.50 to $2.00 apiece and with
the more established GPT sites they can really add up.

Why Should I Use Get Paid to Websites?
The main draw of get paid to websites is that you can make
money with them even if you don't have your own website or
any computer related skills. All you need is the
willingness to spend some time completing offers online.

If you have a webpage for referrals and a credit card to
use you can make even more money with GPT sites, but it's
not necessary. It is also helpful to use a spreadsheet of
some kind to keep track of completed offers and payments
due when you are active with GPT sites.

You can make significant money through get paid to
websites. Recent entries on blogs and forums that I've
read indicate $100-200 as a minimum is quite easy and some
people are making in excess of $2000 a month. Judging from
what I already know about get paid to websites these
figures are accurate and you can do the same with a little
effort.

Who Can Use Get Paid To Websites?
Most GPT sites are restricted to U.S. users although
recently there have been some that are opened up to
international users. Even so, there still aren't many
international offers although this is getting better for
people in the U.K. and Australia. Overall your best
chances of making money with GPT sites is if you are in the
U.S.

One way you can get around this restriction is by signing
up and then focusing your efforts on referring other U.S.
based users and earning affiliate commissions based on
their activity.

Are GPT Sites Scams?
You will always find scams on the internet there's no doubt
of that and the get paid to industry is no exception.
However, there are many legitimate and credible GPT sites
out there that are being run by responsible business people
that will listen to your concerns and will pay on time
every month.

My advice would be to stick with the established get paid
to sites because you know their track record of paying
users. As with other areas on the internet be cautious of
new sites and work within the GPT rules and you'll be fine.

Another recommendation is to get a throwaway email address
and phone number to avoid sales calls and junk mail you'll
receive from aggressive marketers.

Wrapping Up Get Paid to Websites
My suggestion would be to stick with one or maybe two of
the major get paid to sites. The reason is that there is
quite a bit of overlap and duplication among the sites and
that could result in your not getting paid for legitimate
offers you've completed.

Aside from that it can become quite difficult and
cumbersome to keep track of multiple sites, offers and
potential payments on an ongoing basis. If you can take
advantage of it then definitely sign up for all the
programs and use their affiliate programs, but stick to
just a few for completing offers.
Most get paid to sites have very generous affiliate
programs and you can make some outstanding recurring
passive income once you build a solid active user base.
These active users will then recruit other users building
your passive income even further.

I receive a nice steady monthly income from GPT sites
without even logging in or using them just based on
referrals. This is something that anyone can duplicate for
themselves to make a steady monthly income online.
