10 Ways To Raise An Entrepreneur

10 Ways To Raise An Entrepreneur
Do you look at your children and want more for them than
living paycheck to paycheck? What does it take to raise
kids to have the entrepreneurial spirit? Here are 10 steps
to raise a leader.

1) START EARLY. Have conversations with your children
about what is exciting to them. What sort of things are
they interested in? Develop their genius at an early age by
finding out what they are passionate about.

2) TALK ABOUT VALUES. Discuss with your kids what's
important in life. You'll be encouraged by what values they
already know: share, give someone else a turn, play fair,
listen. When you have all of their values, write them down
on a board. Your kids have just described their corporate
values.

3) WHAT LEADERSHIP STYLE DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE. Whether
you think so or not, every child is a leader. Some are more
natural and others are developed. Use your individual
child's assets to build their leadership platform.

4) TRY SOME THINGS OUT. Encourage your children to try
different things out. It will take some trial and error to
find a plan or product that throws them into
entrepreneurship.

5) ASK SOME BUSINESS QUESTIONS. Once you've decided on a
product, where do you go from there? Ask your kids to think
through the next steps. What materials are needed? What
about inventory? Where will your products come from
(suppliers and vendors)? How will you pay for these
products (raising capital and managing budgets)?

6) DEVISE A BUSINESS PLAN. Have your kids write a one to
two page plan that answers some vital questions: What
business are they in? Who will their customers be? How will
the customers find out about their company? How am I
different? By defining specifics about their product,
customers, and competition, your kids will learn more about
their strengths.

7) SOUND THE ALARMS. Develop a marketing plan with your
kids. Get them involved in the sales. Let them feel as if
there are no limits.

8) MAKE A COMMERCIAL. Your kids watch TV and they are
fully aware what commercials are. They know how to sell. So
get the camcorder rolling and film a video commercial.
Whether or not you use it is of little importance. It's a
fun sales technique for your kids and also builds their
confidence.

9) UTILIZE THE INTERNET. Kids are very internet savvy
these days. They learn how to be online at a young age.
Help them build a website, send out press releases
announcing their new company, and teach them internet
marketing strategies.

10) GIVE BACK. Teach you kids about social responsibility
and how they envision themselves giving back. Discuss
things such as whether they give a percentage of sales from
their business to charity or volunteer their free time.
This is ultimately what is the most important thing:
Developing a good human being.

How To Build Monster List Through Joint Venture Marketing

How To Build Monster List Through Joint Venture Marketing
The old cliche about two heads being better than one gets
added respect when it comes to internet marketing. There
are many advantages to teaming up with another marketer
that has a product or service similar to your own by which
you can combine your efforts to increase your mutual
businesses.

It is a good way to help build a mailing list of potential
customers as well as expand the number of opt-in contacts
for future marketing. A 2005 consumer marketing report
showed that statistically around 25% of all marketing is
done jointly between related companies.

An example of joint venture marketing would be for a
software company to team up with a computer manufacturer to
advertise a special deal on computers that include said
software or vice versa.

The end result is that the customer gets both a good
computer and a good software program already on it for a
special price and both companies would have another
customer to contact with future offers. Joint venture
marketing has been described as a win-win-win situation.

There are variations on this theme. One company which is
already well known may be convinced to merely provide an
endorsement for the new product you have for a cut of the
profits and contacts.

They may provide their own mailing list for a joint venture
with you for such compensation. While some joint venture
deals may not always make you a fortune, they do help set
up the potential for greater income in the future.

When comparing the advantages of joint venture marketing
against the possible disadvantages it is easy to see why so
many people utilize this trend. Together you can share the
expenditure of time and money on the advertisement creation
and distribution.

You can use the venture to increase your market base and
find new ways to direct your business focus. You can learn
from each other. Even successful businesses can profit from
the ideas of new people to the field.

At the worst you have wasted some time and a bit of money
on the venture, but shared loss will also protect you from
being totally bankrupted by a failed venture.

Loss of reputation by partnering with someone who proves a
bad business practice can also set you back. It is
advisable to study a company and its practices before
proposing a joint venture with them.

Joint venture undertakings can be one-off events to help
solidify one's place in the market and if successful can
then be expanded and made more permanent if it is to the
mutual advantage of both parties.

Joint venture marketing should not be confused with
strategic alliances. These types of mergers are more along
the order of creating one company from two, whereas the
joint venture partners are still separate corporate
entities.

Make sure you have a product or service worthy to partner
with other successful people and you can use joint venture
endeavors to create additional income streams that are
profitable for everyone involved.

into the lens, smile and be warm and inviting. That will go

7 Secrets to becoming an online Wealthy Marketer

7 Secrets to becoming an online Wealthy Marketer
Do you want to have a successful internet business? There
are plenty of proven products and services out there to
offer. The key is choosing one that makes your life easy.
The greatest thing about the internet, is that it has the
ability to automate almost everything. Computer software
and downloadable E-books offer the most promising results.
There is no shipping, no inventory, and virtually no cost
to duplicate software. This means 100% profit when it
comes to your product.

Another important factor is that software can be downloaded
instantly. In todays society of instant gratification, many
solutions are possible for getting what you want, when you
want it. Nothing is easier than clicking a button and
receiving an instant download. Some of the most successful
internet marketers have made it to the top by selling
software. Let's identify and expand on the 7 secrets of
becoming a wealthy marketer using the internet.

1. You need to market real products. When you also have a
product that provides real value, it can create referrals
like wildfire. You definitely want people talking about
your product. They say bad publicity is better than no
publicity, but why not have a positive light shed on your
product? If you are going to take the time to set up a
business, you might as well do a little research finding
and choosing a good product to offer the marketplace.

2. You need the ability to get paid immediately on all of
your sales. It is always best when you are in control of
the money. If you have to wait around to get paid by some
middleman company, it can put you out of business
overnight. Imagine if you rack up a ton of sales and the
middleman suddenly goes out of business. There goes all of
your profits, and you might be up the creek. It's happened
to myself twice. Steady cash flow is vital to any
successful business. It's not only vital to keep your bills
current, but expansion capital can be the difference
between survival and success.

3. You need a way to effectively advertise, that also
doesn't break your bank in the process. Advertising is the
key to any successful business. Some people put all of
their eggs into one basket. They buy a years worth of
advertising from some company before they even test it.
This is crazy. Advertising should always be tested on the
smallest possible scale to see if it proves profitable. The
best advertising is FREE advertising. And there are many
effective ways to advertise on the internet for free. Cost
or no cost, the bottom line is how much do you spend and
how much do you make. If you spend $10 to make $9 you are
in big trouble. Every penny counts. Don't let yourself get
nickled and dimed.

4. You need the right tools to automate your marketing
process, to increase your daily sales consistently.
The internet offers many tools to automate any business.
Look at auto responders. They are essential. Imagine if you
had 1,000 new customers a week. Can you imagine the
manpower and time it would take to contact each one of them
individually? Utilizing FAQ (frequently asked question)
pages and offering an informative website are two things
you can do to keep your phone from ringing off the hook.

5. You need a way to leverage yourself, so those you sign
up become a sales team for you... to create more income for
yourself... and have a system in place so your sales team
never slows down. Creating an affiliate program or
duplicating your marketing system for others is the key to
big money. You can help put someone in business, and help
them do the same thing you do. You are on your way to big
bucks if you can build in a small profit percentage.

6. You need training and support from real-life mentors who
are already successful. Mentors who are making multiple
six-figure incomes now. It is so much easier to succeed at
something when you have a proven model. When someone else
has succeeded before you, you truly know it's possible.
There is no reason to reinvent the wheel. We live in a
world with almost 7 billion people. If every person in the
world gave you just one cent, you would have almost $70
million dollars.

7. You should consider working from home. Starting a home
based business is a lot easier these days due to the power
of the internet. When you start a business from home, your
chances of succeeding are tripled. The reason is that you
don't have to incur the additional overhead of an office or
retail store, phone lines, furniture, etc.

There are proven programs and home businesses out there
that work. There are some internet businesses that are
highly automated. It takes work to start and succeed with
any business, so don't be fooled by companies who claim to
do all of the work for you. Do your research. Seek and you
shall find. The only shortcut in life is to know that there
are NO shortcuts. Put everything into what you do, and you
too can become a wealthy marketer.

----------------------------------------------------
There are real opportunities for the taking. None are ever
lost. Someone else just seizes the ones you miss. =>

Work At Home - Live Your Dreams Or Someone Else Will

Work At Home - Live Your Dreams Or Someone Else Will
I found myself scouring through my email account searching
through the subject lines for anything that was catchy
enough to capture my attention and entice me to plunge
into, commit my time, and read. Yes, I found it! I opened
up the email, read it, and then clicked on the link toward
the bottom of the page. This link took me to a mans site,
who was testifying of his beginnings as an Internet
Entrepreneur. His story was long, and to my amazement I had
been listening for over five minutes before I thought twice
about it.

I quickly rushed from top to bottom of this site many times
looking for pictures, or a text which would grab my
attention. I found it. PICTURES...This guy who has being
discussed by the site owner was privileged to have been
afforded a brand new Phantom Rolls Royce, a Ferrari 360
Spider, a 13,000 plus square foot home, that is situated on
an outstanding piece of property, with health club, and
amusement park amenities. Just an incredible site to
behold. All this purchased by his Online Business. He had
started his business 24 months ago. However, within six
months of him starting his business, he was able to retire.

This gent is living my dream I thought. I got excited, ran
to bring my wife to the computer. She sat down, and we both
began to get extremely excited about what the future held
for us and our strong desire for a multi-million dollar
Home Business Enterprise.

You must understand, my wife and I have discussed on
numerous occasions our dream of owning 100 acres, with a
14,500 square foot home, tennis court, basket ball court,
go cart race track, huge lap swimming pool, a pool hole, a
huge man made lake with wave effects, to bring us as close
to the beach as possible without being there. The dream
cars, dream vacations, being able to give over 1.2 million
dollars a year as tithes, and pour financial blessing into
the lives of the needy round about us. This goes on and on.

I want you to notice however...how close my dreams are with
the man who was being discussed on the web page that I
visited that day. He and I are close to the same age. The
guy being discussed on this site is a young man by anyone's
standards.

What have you Dreamed?

What have you Dreamed and then deemed impossible?

What have you started out to accomplish, only to be ravaged
by discouragement, or others opinion of who you should be?

Have you labored only to purchase the false opinion of
others who would rather not see you successful?

Have you sold your dream for currency which later betrayed
you?

Have you silenced the Dreamer within?

Can you still hear the faint beckoning cry for another
opportunity to be afforded to the Dreamer on the inside?

How many times have you in your day to day witnessed others
as they enjoyed family relationships, personal and business
success, cars, homes, boats, life style that you so long
for?

You see friend a Dream never dies. It simply seeks another
vessel to express itself through. No matter how great the
dream...if you can dream it, then you can live it. Also, if
you can dream it then someone else can live it. Anytime you
or I lay our dreams down for whatever reason, someone in
life's passing captures the vision which was once ours,
picks it up and dashes for the finish line. In time,
creating a dream that belongs to us for them and their
family. After all the energy spent in the creation of your
Dreams, why will you willingly choose to lay them at the
feet of someone else (who labored not for them) to benefit
from.

Today is your day! You need to live your dreams starting
today, and you can do it no matter how many times that you
feel that you have failed in the past. Success is again at
your door...answer, and join us at The Top!

How to Drink Beer and Make Money

How to Drink Beer and Make Money
I've always wondered if there was a way to earn income from
the comfort of my couch with a beer in hand. I told myself
if this opportunity ever arose I would jump all over it.
It's not that I'm lazy or looking for the easy way out. In
fact it's just the opposite. If anybody tells me that
something is not possible, I work hard to find a way to
make it happen. Is it possible to drink beer and make
money? Yes it is...follow me.

First of all, after years of research and study, I have
come to the conclusion that beer drinking in and of itself
will not result in any sustainable income. I did once make
$20 for drinking a beer diluted with cigarette butts, it
wasn't a pleasant experience and I don't recommend it to
anyone...for less than $40. However, with age comes
responsibility and a more fresh and realistic approach to
earning income and drinking beer. The internet has made it
all possible. Let me explain how.

The internet is full of information, most of it is useless.
However, if you are seriously looking for an extra source
of income. One that has unlimited potential and allows you
to work from your couch with a beer...this may be the most
important information that you'll ever read. You can earn
an income online with the right tools and training, a good
amount of research, a solid business plan and budget, and a
call to action.

I know most of you don't have the slightest clue where to
start or what to do. No worries, there are plenty of free
affiliate programs that provide all the training, tools,
and products we need. All you have to do is a little
research and studying to figure out which ones best fit
your business style.

Once you have your affiliates all set up, your going to
have to figure out how to convert people to sign up under
you. You'll be pitched many ways to do this. Most of the
ways cost nothing but the time you invest, others can cost
a good amount of money. It is important to draw up a clear
business plan and budget and to stick to the plan. It is a
real business and you must treat it as so if you plan on
earning any substantial income.

Last and definitely not least, you must take action. The
internet has presented itself as a very lucrative
opportunity to make real income. Use this article as the
first step to making your life better. I really believe
that everything in life happens for a reason. It is no
accident that you are reading this article. You are
looking for a change and the internet can provide that
change. Why sit back and watch everyone else get rich off
of it. You CAN earn income online. So grab a cold one,
sit back, get online, and start making that money!

"Take the first step in faith you don't have to see the
whole staircase just take the first step" - Martin Luther
King Jr.

Network Marketing Secrets For Massive Downline Growth

Network Marketing Secrets For Massive Downline Growth
To build a massive downline in any network marketing
business model it's all about helping people. Or in other
words, it's all about relationships.

The best way to build a relationship is to help others.
When you truly help someone, you are building a real
relationship of trust and when people trust you, they will
follow you because they know that you really care about
their success.

Everyone who has become a millionaire in any network
marketing or Multi Level Marketing business has acquired
the necessary skills of how to build relationships with the
right people that will also be able to follow suit and
build more relationships by helping more people and thus
building you a massive downline in a matter of a few short
weeks or months.

Within you now is the power to become a millionaire in
network marketing in just a matter of months as long as you
commit yourself to acquiring the marketing skills of
finding the right people, then helping the right people and
then building a relationship of trust with the right people
who will in turn follow you and join your team or connect
you with other leaders who will be beneficial to helping
you find the right people to build your massive downline.

How Do You Help Someone?

The easiest way to help someone is to offer the value that
you possess as a human being that will help them get
results. The best way to offer real value to someone else
is to increase your knowledge and then give that knowledge
to others, allowing them to get the results they're looking
for and thus be appreciative of your help and thus want to
follow you or expand your network of relationships with
others that will follow you.

Who Is The Right Person To Help?

You don't want to wasting your time helping someone if they
are not right for your business. Remember, you are not a
salesman, you are a business builder. You are not looking
for people to baby sit. You are looking for leaders who
will expand your downline. Simply put you are looking for
champions.

You want to work with champions on your team because
champions have made the decision that they are going to
achieve their goals no matter what. A champion has decided
that they will triumph, that they will be victorious, that
they will win no matter how long or vast the desert or the
ocean or how high the mountain may seem.

A champion is unstoppable and will continue to be
persistent and acquire the marketing skills to build their
business and at the same time, to build your downline and
your business.

The secret to building a massive downline in any network
marketing or Multi Level Marketing organization is helping
others and caring for their success. Then and only then
will you find the champions that will either join your team
or open new paths and doors to you to find other champions
that will build your downline, that will build your
business and that will give you the freedom that you have
given to them.

The New Trend for DVDs On Demand

The New Trend for DVDs On Demand
A new trend has surfaced for business people and consumers
who are selling downloadable content on the Internet, such
as digital books, exercize DVDs, films, music or even
custom business presentations. It's called "On Demand
Production" and allows manufacturing of CDs and DVDs on an
as needed basis, eliminating the up-front costs of
producing multiple titles normally associated with CD/DVD
production. This is a cost effective and complete turnkey
solution that can include packaging, fulfillment and
inventory storage.

This trend is of particular interest after the announcement
by the DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA) on September
19, 2007 which approved a final copy-protection
specification for on-demand disc burning.

The On Demand DVD Production module allows for the DVD
replication services, or the manufacture of CD/DVD products
upon purchase with zero inventory, allowing customers to
focus their efforts on marketing products, rather than
producing and storing them.

Technically, CD and DVD On Demand Production technology is
a system that even provides short run cd duplication
options to manufacture CDs & DVDs, package and ship them
worldwide, and then track the orders. On Demand helps
customers sell download-able content over the Internet by
offering content optionally on CDs or DVDs. Products can
even be branded with custom artwork on the CD/DVD covers
and sleeves. People can order only as they sell and avoid
the hassle of inventory, packaging and fulfillment. Plus
there is an automated ordering and tracking process.

The entire process helps reduce the up-front cost of
producing multiple quantities which eliminates inventory
and obsolescence costs of pre-produced inventory.

"With traditional CD/DVD replication services significant
quantity orders are required at one time and customers need
a method to distribute them to the end user. However, there
are many situations when this does not work," said
Acutrack, Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer Raj
Barman.

"For instance, if a training company requires courses to be
distributed on CD/DVD and they are not sure how many
students are registering for the training, then On Demand
Production is the ideal solution," he continued.

People no have to worry about DVD projects because of these
new On Demand expert DVD manufacturing services. They
typically support DVD-5, DVD-9, DVD-10 and DualDisc
formats, and comply with IRMA's anti-piracy compliance.

Other situations where On Demand Production benefits
customers include companies who want to tailor their
content to meet their customer's specific needs. A software
company has frequent changes in their software and wants to
always ship the latest version, or others who wish to
convert more of their sales to the downloadable version of
their product, yet they still want to offer their customers
the option to order their software on CD or to order a
backup CD.

----------------------------------------------------
Acutrack, Inc. (http://www.acutrack.com ) enables customers
to create, publish and deliver custom content for DVD and
CD distribution worldwide. The company provides fast,
high-quality On Demand CD and DVD production plus video
editing, DVD authoring, graphic design, photo realistic and
silkscreen printing, and a variety of packaging, copy
protection and fulfillment services. Ideal for customer's
who are selling downloadable content and are not sure how
many units to produce; On Demand takes care of inventory,
packaging and fulfillment.

Master Time Management with One Question

Master Time Management with One Question
Time management advice is found in great abundance on the
Internet. You can determine how to schedule your day, how
to set your priorities, how to delegate, and how to tackle
your to-do list.

As a service business owner, you face an enormous number of
tasks and responsibilities each and every day. What I've
come to realize in my years of self-employment that my most
valuable asset isn't my contact database or my marketing
materials or my business plan.

It's my time.

Most entrepreneurs are time-starved. It seems everyone
wants a piece of you -- your clients, your family, your
prospective customers, your friends, your employees or
subcontractors. For most service business owners, there
always seems to be too much stuff to fit into too little
day.

The most valuable time management question that
time-starved entrepreneurs need to ask themselves before
agreeing to do something is, "How will this serve me?" A
business coaching colleague asks the same question a little
differently, "Is what I'm about to do going to increase the
confusion/complexity in my life?"

That's it -- pretty simple, isn't it? So, before I'm about
to embark on joining a new organization or committee, or
before I'm about to think of another sideline path for my
business, I just ask myself this one simple question.

The answer leads me to my next step.

Now, a word of caution here---don't get caught in the "but
crack". If your answer is, "Well, yes, it'll be good for my
business but it's.....", you've just fallen into the "but
crack", which means that you've negated everything that
came before the "but" in your thinking. If there's a "but"
attached to your sentence, more than likely what you really
need to do is the opposite of what you're saying.

So, in the example above, "Well, yes, it'll serve my
business well but it's going to take the next 8 weekends to
pull it off," it may not be the great opportunity you think
if you already are concerned about the havoc it might bring
to your life.

What if you're unsure of how this opportunity/task/chance
will serve you? How do you make that determination?

I borrow a page from life coach Cheryl Richardson's book,
Take Time for Your Life, and create what she refers to as
an "Absolute Yes List." This is your list of the top 5
priorities in your life. For most of us that would include
spouse/significant other, family, work or business, hobby,
volunteer effort, and yourself. You did remember to
include yourself, didn't you?

Remember, your time is your most valuable asset. If you
don't create time for yourself and make that your #1
priority, I will guarantee you that no one else will do
that for you. When I used to deliver my work/life balance
speech to various women's professional organizations, I
would have the participants create their "absolute yes"
list and then take a survey of hands to see how many had
included themselves on the list. Typically less than
one-third of any group put themselves on their list, and
less than 5% of that number listed themselves first.

If what you're considering doesn't fit on your "absolute
yes" list, then it's an "absolute no." If it does match
your top 5 priorities, then give it the, "How will this
serve me?" test.

Creating your list of your top 5 priorities and applying
the "how will it serve me" question are the two best tools
at your disposal as a service based business owner to
regain control of your most valuable asset -- your time.

taking your business to the web is going to offer you some
spectacular enhancements. When you build your website, you
are offering a convenient alternative to your customers
that they will certainly appreciate. When they don't have
the time to make it to your location, they can go to your
site and do many of the same things they would do in
person. You can also collect e-mail contact information
from your customers and clients and use this as a cheaper,
faster means of contacting them and delivering important
information.

Businesses existing primarily on the internet can make
money in a variety of ways. Large or small, these
businesses can take the form of retail, wholesale, auction,
clearing houses, affiliate marketers, specialized
marketers, banks and other service firms, publishers,
weblogs (blogs), and innumerable other forms. Whatever you
can possibly imagine a market for, you can make a business
online for it. Interestingly, the internet has even allowed
for the creation of never before seen markets with a
voracious consumer appetite.The individual can also benefit
tremendously from internet marketing. If you're not looking
to start a business, per se, you have many other options.
Many sites offer you the opportunity to market your skills
as an independent programmer, web designer, writer, and
many other disciplines. Many have chosen this path, while
others have chosen to either market their own products, or
to market products with resale rights, on web auction
sites. Authors can now publish their own books and market
them online, retaining much of the profit lost otherwise to
a publisher. The point is, whatever skill or interest you
have, there is probably a market for it on the internet.
And where there is a market, there is an opportunity to
make money.

The chances for making money online will depend on many
factors, but the most important of those factors is you.
Knowing what you want to do, how you want to do it, and
what obstacles you will face are important. Drive,
determination, and an attitude of success will serve you
well online. While the innovations of the internet provide
new paths to success, the values that achieve success are
still the same.

How To Get Proper Internet Marketing Training

How To Get Proper Internet Marketing Training
There are numerous Internet Marketing Training courses to
be found on the World Wide Web! The challenge is
determining the best one for you. With many claiming to be
the "only" training you'll ever need, it makes it even more
difficult to know who's really on the up and up.

I'm guilty of spending unnecessary amounts of money, just
to learn one more technique or "secret", that may take my
Internet Marketing Training experience to another level.
It's always been a bit tempting to jump into someone's
sure-fire training course when it's offered at a "limited
time only" or super-duper reduced price! All of which is
usually a tactic used to get you "in" and on board, with
another series of emails asking you to upgrade.

Truth is, that's really part of Internet Marketing
Training. You want to get your prospects attention with
some catchy phrase or introductory offer, which causes them
to want to learn more from you. It's part of the process
that aids in growing your business and developing others
ventures as well.

Internet Marketing Training is a never-ending process. I
personally don't believe you're ever "done" when it comes
to marketing over the Internet and creating a long-term
business. I've adopted the phrase: Leaders are Readers,
Readers are Leaders, so read, lead and succeed! You have
to make learning fun or else you will get bored and/or
burned out during the learning curve. No matter who's
training course you follow or what webinar you tap into,
there's always going to be more required to stay on top.

If you've read some of my other articles like, Home
Business Success or Home Based Work, I stress quite
thoroughly the need for finding a mentor. Find someone who
has accomplished what you wish to achieve and pick his or
her brain. Learn from someone that can teach you "how" to
do it and can inform you of what NOT to do. True Internet
Marketing Training will make you aware of what NOT to do,
in order to keep from hindering your desired outcome. You
will need to do some solid research within your field, if
you don't already know of an individual that can help you.

The absolute best Internet Marketing Training is to get
"hands on" experience! With all the tools available to us
as marketers (and trainers), you can sit in the comfort of
your own home or office and receive state-of-the-art
training using your computer. I've learned a great deal
watching videos made by people creating them right from
their bedroom! Cool thing is, once you learn you can do it
too!!

You will want to take the time and seek out the proper
training for you. Not doing so is like attempting to drive
from New York to Los Angeles without a map. Now if you've
done it before, chances are you don't need a map but if
it's your first time to make the trek, you'll want some
guidelines to follow. And maybe some "coaching" from
someone who's driven it successfully before that can inform
you of the best routes to take in order to enjoy the
journey! Enjoying the journey is what adds to making your
Internet Training a fun trip!

Domain Name Owners Be Warned! - Someone Else May be Pocketing Your Profits

Domain Name Owners Be Warned! - Someone Else May be Pocketing Your Profits
If you have a domain name parked by your registration
service, there's a good chance they're making money from
it. Imagine that - profits you will never see, and from
your own domain name! It's no wonder they're so good about
sending renewal reminders. Forget the eight dollar
registration fee. They want the hundred plus dollars your
domain name makes them each and every month!

It was happening to me until a few weeks ago. Now I get an
average of $3.50 per day, per domain name - completely on
auto-pilot. It's not a fortune to be sure, but that's over
$100 per month that I get for doing about fifteen minutes
work - just one time.

If you want in on the action but don't have any parked
domains, think about buying a $2 domain on Yahoo.

The process is really simple. You can use the services of
several companies. I'll use Google because I'm showing you
exactly how I did it. But feel free to use any service you
like.

First, sign up for a free Adsense account at
http://www.google.com/adsense - if you don't already have
one. But DON'T get your ad code yet. I have some tips that
can triple your response rates - and income. By the way,
'Yahoo Publisher', another income generating ad resource,
is in Beta but also looks good so far -
http://publisher.yahoo.com/.

Now, if you want killer free information about your
visitors and some really nice metrics information, get your
free Google Analytics account at
http://www.google.com/analytics/. If you'd rather not use
Google, give http://www.statcounter.com/ a try. It's also
free.

Now for the frosting on the cake; hosting. You can go a
couple different ways with this. One is to use a revenue
share like CashParking, the one offered by
http://www.Godaddy.com. In short, you pay a monthly fee,
and they share a percentage of the income generated from
the ads on your web page. I love Godaddy, but I had to pass
on this one. Without content on the pages or automated
search engine optimization freebies I think the odds of
getting visitors seem pretty slim. Besides that, the idea
of paying a monthly fee, just to get back part of my own
profits is not really for me.

After some digging, I went with http://www.WhyParkWeb.com.
It works out to be a lot less expensive for me, gives me
loads of control and builds a full website for me in just a
few minutes. Best of all, I got ranked on Google in just
three days - using one of their free automated tools.

That's it for the main article. If you go with a service
like http://www.WhyParkWeb.com however, you might want to
stick around for a few more minutes. Since they give you so
much control (without anything complicated on your part) I
can give you a few insider tips to triple your income.
Really!

If you'd like to check out an actual site I have setup,
feel free to visit http://www.mysearchengineplacement.com/
(but please don't click any ads unless you really want to
see the product.)

Okay, let's do this by the numbers...

#1 How to find the best keywords

It's easier than ever to find the best keywords. Let's
start with Overture's Web-based tool. It's amazing. Give it
a try at http://inventory.overture.com. Just type in a word
or phrase that has to do with your domain name and get the
actual searches done within a given month.

(Please Note: This link was accurate at the time of this
writing but has been known to change.)

There's also a free piece of software that's getting great
reviews. It's called Good Keywords version 2. It's a
freeware product available for instant download from
http://www.GoodKeywords.com.

#2 How to write a killer Website title that search engine
like Google love.

Let's do a real project, shall we? Let's say we have a
domain name to do with custom cakes. If we enter the word
'cake' into the Overture search, we'll get a ton of
results. Let's just look at the first few:

wedding cake - 307,975 (searches performed for this
keyword/phrase in just one month) cake - 225,183 (same
deal..) birthday cake - 185,054 baby shower cake - 45,287

Take your most important specific and general keyword
phrases and put them together, specific first; general
second. Let's use "wedding cake" and "cake". Now separate
the keywords or phrases by a pipe (that vertical key over
the Enter/Return key). We now have "wedding cake | cake".
Now go back and grab one or two more relevant keywords like
"birthday cake" and "baby shower cake" and combine them
like this "wedding cake | cakes for birthdays, baby showers
and more".

Now you've covered all your bases and build a fantastic
keyword rich title that won't look like keyword spamming.
More importantly it's one that people will actually read.
You have singular and plural versions of "cake(s)", which
will also help - a lot.

#3 How to write a META description that will really get you
noticed.

This is important. Not only can this tip alone get you
ahead of most competitors, but it's also what readers see
of your site before they decide to visit. You need to write
something for people, but that search engines will like.
Don't worry. It's a lot easier than it sounds.

Take all of your keywords and line them up in order of
importance. Since "wedding cake" gets more searches than
any other, let's start there and use the same logic for the
rest. Now we have, in order, "wedding cake", "cake",
"birthday cake", and "baby shower cake." Be sure to improve
your keyword prominence (relevance based on position) by
using your best keyword within the first few words of the
description, like this: "Wedding cakes made easy! Get great
articles, recipes and decorating tips to make cakes for
your special occasion. From triple-layer double chocolate
birthday cakes to baby shower cup cake buffets; we have
tips to make your special occasion delicious."

As you can see, we used all of our keywords without
overloading the text and broke it up a little by adding
some detail. It works great! Just try to keep the
description at or under 250 characters (including spaces).

#4 How to add great content

Why Park (http://www.WhyParkWeb.com) does 99.9% of the work
for you. All you have to do is enter your keywords into the
article finder provided by the "Research Your Keywords"
link (located beside the keywords box.)

Without using any imagination at all, I found 121 articles
in a few seconds...

cake - 98 (articles) wedding cake - 11 birthday cake - 9
baby shower cake - 3

Total Articles: 121

Add "wedding" and get another 788! That's 909 articles in
10 seconds. You get the idea - more general related
keywords can take you over the top and give you a huge,
content-rich search engine friendly site, in seconds!

#5 How to get the best-pulling Adsense ad style and color
combination

My click-through rate (CTR) tripled when I switched to this
format.

Select ad size 336 x 280. If that's too big, try 300 x 250.
And try to make your ad border and ad background colors the
same as your Website's background color. It helps it blend
in and take away some of the "advertisement" feel. It's
also usually best to go with the standard blue hyperlink
color for the actual links.

But with all that said, don't be afraid to experiment. This
might be the cheapest controlled research you ever come
across, so enjoy it. I change my ad colors (but not size)
every so often to see what works best - but the above
method has worked best to date.

#6 How to get submitted to major search engines fast and
free

I use this place all the time. They are great. They submit
your site to 40 search engines instantly, for free -
http://www.submitexpress.com/.

There's another great little trick that will help get your
site noticed by Google FAST, Google Sitemaps -
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools. You won't need this
when setting up your site but you can add it right after
(from the Edit option) - and its well worth the five
minutes it will take. It's free search engine submission
directly into Google's pipeline.

Now you're ready!

You can do this with no problem. Take back control of your
domain names and pocket your own profits. Good luck!

Why Article Marketing Is Still The Best Internet Advertising

Why Article Marketing Is Still The Best Internet Advertising
Let's talk about article marketing for a minute. I want to
discuss a question I have all of the time. What is the best
internet advertising? We all only have so much time and
money to put into our internet businesses. Internet newbies
have it even tougher. Remember this, we were all new to
internet marketing at one time or another.

When a new person first gets started trying to make money
online the learning curve is almost overwhelming. This is
especially true if you work a full time job and have other
things going on in your life. Prioritizing what you do in
your business can be the difference between sticking with
it or quitting.

This is probably the single most important thing a new
person must conquer if they are to stick with internet
marketing. I had the same problem myself when I was part
time for 4 years. So what I did was focus on learning and
mastering one aspect of marketing my business.

I chose building my list because I read that the money was
in the list. I also read that people primarily use the
internet for sending and receiving email and for
researching information.

So I concentrated on article marketing and driving traffic
to my home page. Then I would capture contact info and
follow up via my Aweber autoresponder. This is the same
system I use today, except that my article marketing
efforts are even more intense.

Learning to write is the most important skill you can have
because you or someone in your company will be doing a lot
of writing.

If you can not, or will not write, then hire a quality
ghost writer to do it for you. We started our article
writer service for people like you. We have even began to
develop it into a service I call "Hands Off Article
Marketing" which really covers not only writing your
article, but also getting it out where people can see it.

This is the best internet advertising in my opinion. I do
all kinds of things now. Most of them are free, or nearly
free, and are designed to provide search engine bait, and
potential long term traffic. That is why I do not do pay
per click advertising. PPC is great for immediate traffic,
but you always have to do it to get traffic tomorrow and
beyond.

Same thing with traffic exchanges and safelists. You are
trying to brand yourself and build a list if you do it
right. But the minute you do not buy credits or surf pages
you have no advertising. I have learned that when it comes
to internet advertising if you are standing still you are
really going backwards.

Blogging is great use of articles. Social bookmarking is as
well. You can get excellent traffic from your blog. Blog
Rush is one way to do that. Just putting their widget on
your blog in a prominent place can get you traffic when
your blog posts are shown on other people's blogs.

But you still have to write blog articles, post them, ping
your post, and social bookmark your articles to get traffic
from a blog.

Here is my own 4 step system for article marketing.

1. Write an article of 400 words or so.

2. Post it in my WordPress blog which will ping for me and
contains a nice plugin for social bookmarking my article.

3. Bookmark my post to OnlyWire.com, Google Bookmarks,
Yahoo, Digg, Stumbleupon, Netscape, and a couple of others
if I have time.

4. Submit an article several times a month to Submit Your
Article where I rewrite it in 20 minutes into hundreds of
unique versions. Each one is then submitted for me to
hundreds of directories who all get a unique version of it.

This is a very well rounded approach to article marketing.
Of course learning to write the articles to target specific
keyword phrases is a big key and that is where an article
marketing company can help. They can write targeted
articles for you and even do the marketing so you get the
full benefit from them.

You get all of the glory because you get 100% copyright for
that article. Put your name on it as your own and start
branding yourself as an expert in your niche.

So whether you like article marketing, email marketing,
forum marketing, traffic exchanges, safelists, pay per
click, classified ads, ezine advertising, blogging, social
bookmarking, etc. pick one and focus on it until you are
having success.

I suggest you choose article marketing!

How To Hide Your Affiliate Link With This Simple One Line Code

How To Hide Your Affiliate Link With This Simple One Line Code
A significant problem affiliate marketers have in
generating sales from their websites has to do with the
affiliate identifier code that shows up in the status bar
url of a hyperlink.

There are those who, once noticing that a link is for an
affiliate, will determine that the website they are on has
a vested interest in selling rather than providing honest
information. Others will merely copy out the site and buy
directly rather than use the affiliate link mistakenly
thinking they will get it cheaper that way.

Why potential customers do such things is irrational but
still loses you a sale and commission. There are several
ways to circumvent this dilemma.

There are various programs and processes that can disguise
or encrypt the affiliate identifier url address. Some
programs will replace the link with ascii straight code
and produce the address in a block of seemingly random
characters.

Its only major drawback is that the browser status bar will
often translate it back into its original readable form.

Creating a redirect page is another way to mask an
affiliate hyperlink. There are programs that will generate
an encrypted code of your affiliate information.

You would then load this page onto your website and instead
of the affiliate link address, you would use a hyperlink to
the page you created for your advertisement link. When the
customer clicks the link it would take them to your
encrypted page that would connect them with the product or
sales page without your customer knowing they had been
rerouted.

The only potential downside to this method is that you will
have to create a new page for each of your affiliate links
which is somewhat time consuming and subsequently your
website's allotted space might be filled with a multitude
of these small but accumulative files.

It is still cheaper to buy more hosting space than to lose
the extra sales from people who don't want to deal with
affiliates.

There are also solutions that can be written directly into
the html code on your webpage. It is not a safe practice to
frame any of your merchants webpages.

Most of them have strict rules against this as the address
bar would show your site's name and not theirs. They feel
it is misrepresentation and that it could be mistaken as an
endorsement on their part of anything you have on your site.

You can, however, create a fake status bar message. This
rather simple piece of code will still send the user to the
appropriate page with your affiliate ID intact but will
cause the status bar to show only what you enter in for it
to say.

In this example note the "[" and "]" brackets need to be
replaced with proper "less than" and "greater than" symbols
for html tagging.

[a href="affiliate link url here"
onmouseover="window.status='information for status bar
here';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return
true;"]what shows on the page here[/a]

With a few of these necessary variations protecting your
affiliate link information, you should soon see an increase
in sales and commissions from your efforts.

The Perfect Wealth Formula--This Author's View

The Perfect Wealth Formula--This Author's View
Business Opportunities--They are everywhere out there, and
it is very hard to know which ones are legitimate and which
ones are scams. If you are like me you have tried (and
more than likely failed) at many different opportunities,
and you may be skeptical that there is really anything that
can provide you with a substantial monthly income these
days.

Today we will take a look at the Perfect Wealth Formula.
As a person who has evaluated hundreds of different
business oppotunities I will explain the main reasons why I
feel that I have found PWF to be one of the best ways to
make a good income working online today.

First of all, Perfect Wealth Formula offers a REAL product
with REAL value. The easy to follow audios and videos teach
you step by step the secrets to running a very successful
online business. Following and then applying the
information given from PWF creator Jason Pierson can
dramatically cut your learning curve, and save you
countless hours of trying to figure out the steps of
success on your own. It is not an understatement to say
that once you master these techniques you will be in the
top 5% of all the internet marketers online today. It is my
opinion that the value gained is worth much more than the
small investment to get involved. Once you learn this
information you can either use it to market your own
affiliate or MLM program, or you can use it to market the
Perfect Wealth Formula program as well. My recommendation
is to do both. First begin by marketing the Perfect Wealth
Formula until you have built up a nice monthly income, and
then branch out and create multiple income streams with
other programs.

Secondly, I appreciate the fact that once you get your
capture page and auto responders set up this program is
completely automated. You simply invest an hour or two of
your time each day using the techniques that you have
learned and the system does the rest. You can literally
make money while you are at the gym, eating out, at a ball
game, or sleeping! There is no need to make cold calls
any longer. You simply use the techniques that you have
learned to send laser targeted traffic to your site, and
the system does the rest!

Thirdly, I love the fact that you get paid $400-$1000 on
every sale and that is paid to you INSTANTLY!! Cash flow
is very important when trying to run a small business, and
when you receive your payments instantly it allows you to
reinvest your earnings to make even more profit. I also
like the fact that the money that you make is VERY
SIGNIFICANT! My past experiences with MLM and other
companies has taught me that you need to have hundreds or
thousands of people in your group to make the same type of
income that you can make in one day with the Perfect Wealth
Formula, and unfortunatelly most people will never
accomplish this. Additionally, the pay plan pays you an
immediate $100-$200 override on every sale made by the
people that you bring into the program. This is a very nice
feature.

Finally, my favorite feature of the Perfect Wealth Formula
is that you don't have to pass up your first one or two
sales to your sponsor like many similar programs out there
require you to do. This is significant because the first
one or two sales are usually the hardest to obtain,
especially if you are a complete "newbie" to internet
marketing. There is no way to describe the feeling of
excitement that you get when you make your first sale and
put that first cah into your pocket, regardless of which
program you are in. This gets the people that you sponsor
into money quickly as well and keeps them motivated to
continue promoting the program. In the end this means more
profit for you!

The only downside that I see to the Perfect Wealth Formula
is that there is a small ongoing $14.95 monthly fee for you
affiliate web site. However, in my estimation this is a
small price to pay for the substantial income that can be
generated.

One last thing....If you decide to become involved with
Perfect Wealth Formula (or any other program for that
matter) make sure that you search out a strong team that
has a proven system in place. Also, make sure that your
sponsor will actually take the time needed to give you one
on one attention to guide you on the way to success. I have
found this to be very important !

In conclusion, I have found the Perfect Wealth Formula has
more than surpassed my expectations of both the value of
the product as well as the income that can be made. I
highly recommend anyone looking for a way to make a
significant monthly income working online to at least check
it out. You can make very good money with this program, but
of course like anything in life it does take hard work. You
must be willing to invest a few hours every day on a
consistent basis, and those that do will be succesful.
