As the author of Advanced Twitter Marketing (now called Advanced Marketing on Twitter for legal reasons) and owner of the Advanced Twitter Marketing blog and the Road To Twitter Success website, it’s only natural that most people bringing out a new tool for Twitter users usually contact me for my opinion of their product and to see if I’ll feature it in our e-zine or on our blog.

Major List Building Breakthrough Secrets Revealed In Free Video

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:40:05 +0000

List building is one of the most important aspects of Internet marketing and affiliate marketing success, yet there is little published on it lately since most of the formerly-effective methods of list-building have lost a lot of their ‘oomph’. That’s not a surprising result when you think about it though – most strategies to date either keep inbreeding marketers opt-in lists through giveaways only promoted by fellow marketers, or are prohibitively expensive for most Internet marketers, especially new marketers just starting out and affiliate marketers who haven’t yet reached super-affiliate status.

So it’s both vitally important and major breaking news when someone comes up with a new system to build opt-in lists fast from outside the existing Internet marketing structure, providing the subscribers are still targeted leads and the system is either reasonably affordable by all or better still, free. And just such a system has just been revealed by well-known Internet marketer Socrates Socratous.

Those of you who were present for my speech on Maximizing Monetization at the Internet Marketing Summit in Sandusky Ohio will already know Socrates – he was co-host for the event with Henry Gold and Gina Gaudio-Graves. In the two years since then, Socrates has been experimenting with various list-building concepts to find workarounds that solve the problems faced by online marketers trying to build opt-in lists.

He’s found a few that work, and now has over 200,000 people on his list – 200,000 targeted leads for his websites, blogs and affiliate links. Gee, think he’s making an income online?

But the main thing is, Socrates has agreed to share his success, beginning with a free video that teaches one of the most innovative systems of list-building I’ve seen in my 12+ years online full-time. This one has it all for you – it’s powerful, it’s ’set-and-forget’, it’s repeatable as often as you want to use it, and both the video teaching the system and the methods you’ll learn are free.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’ve seen this before – unless you were paying a fortune to be in on Socrates private coaching, you won’t have seen this system anywhere. And don’t think that because it’s free it’s not powerful – just one of these little ‘list-building engines’ has brought in over 3,000 subscribers from the original two hours it took to set up.

There’s no pitch in the video to try and get you to buy anything, no forced continuity, no hidden catches – you just watch the video and decide if it’s for you or not, and by then you’ll already have seen why it’s free to use this system yourself.

So take a few minutes now and watch the free List-Building Video Tutorial from Socrates Socratous… You’ll be blown away by it’s simplicity and power – I know that because I was too!

Article Marketing For Making Money Online

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:11:32 +0000

If you are not already using article marketing for your business, you are missing out on sales and signups that could be garnered from this time tested method of marketing a business online. Anyone who isn’t already marketing their business with articles should get started on it right away.

Remember, your article marketing efforts of today will continue to pay off for years to come. You can’t say that about any other type of marketing that exists. For the future of your business, this is an area of marketing that you need to learn – and you need to learn every aspect of it as soon as possible.

You may shy away from article marketing because you can’t write well, or because you don’t think that article marketing is right for your niche. These are valid reasons – but they are wrong. Even if you can’t write well, you can pay someone who does. Having articles written is surprisingly cheap. In fact, you can have one article written each and every week for less than ten dollars.

You can also take one of the many free writing courses online to learn how to write articles. Once you get the hang of writing articles, you will find that you can write a short article in less than half an hour. If you are slow at typing, or your article will require more research, you can knock one out in about an hour.

As for article marketing not being right for your niche – wrong again. Article marketing works for all niches. Have you been to a search engine lately? No matter what you think of to type in, you will find web pages on that topic. Where there are webpages, there are readers, and where there are readers, there is a need for articles.

Go ahead – try it. Visit your favorite search engine and try to think up something off the wall and type it in. Bet you find webpages that have content – articles – on them! Web content comes from articles – whether they are articles that were written specifically for that website, or articles that were found in the article banks.

You have everything to gain from article marketing, and nothing to lose – as long as you are doing your article marketing in the right way. Even if you did it in the wrong way, the most you stand to lose is your time. Frankly, article marketing is something that is hard to fail at.

The process is incredibly simple: write an informative article, include a resource box that has a call to action, distribute the article, and reap the benefits for years to come. That’s all there is to it – and this is a marketing method that is available to everyone – even if they are new to Internet Business. You don’t have to be a guru to write articles. You become a guru by writing articles.

You don’t even have to own a business to start writing articles and profiting from them. Affiliate marketing, where you promote other peoples products and services for a percentage of each sale, can easily be done through article marketing – and this is where many gurus got their start.

If you aren’t article marketing, you are leaving money on the table. It is as simple as that – and you can start article marketing today. Right now. If you can write, write. If you can’t, hire a ghostwriter, pay eight to ten bucks for the article, and start distributing it. All of that can be done now – TODAY.

Don’t let another day go by that you are not benefiting from the uncontested and unrivaled effectiveness of article marketing! The future of your business, as well as your own financial future, could depend on it.

Most Profitable Part Of Internet Marketing Systems

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:00:52 +0000

Hope you had a super weekend, and are ready to dive into the week full of vim and vigour, demolishing the obstacles and gaining major ground in your online biz! If you missed it over the weekend, get over right now and get in on this new free service from Jeff Dedrick!

If you did get in already, go back and get your bonus pages and links set up now – it only takes a few minutes and there’s no cash outlay required, so there’s no valid excuses why you shouldn’t, either!

Why is it so important that you do? The simple answer is that you can make more, possibly a lot more, just from the effort you already put in, from the traffic you already have coming to your sites or your blogs. But there’s more to it than that…

You see, last year Teri & I made an extra 5-figures from our automated back-end system – but it was only maybe 10% of what we made overall for 2008. Still, who turns down an extra 10% for no extra effort or outlay? We were happy with it til I talked to a friend last week, one that makes 10 times what we do online, and found out his back-end provides over 75% of his total each year – and the same for all the others at his level!

Turns out his back-end is a funnel that leads to a coaching program that runs $5k – $20k, with smaller amounts before you get to that level. Ours is nowhere near that sophisticated, but it definitely gave me some ideas to improve what we make in 2009!

And that’s why this site is so important to you and to your online biz. It won’t have you bringing in over a million a year like he is, but it WILL start you on the path to making more than you are now, and start adding those extra bucks to your bottom line too.

How far you take it from there depends on the time and outlay you want to make setting up a more sophisticated back-end as time progresses, but for now jump on the stuff on Jeff’s site and get your back-end system started while you can do it for free – and with so very little effort!

Jeff Dedrick’s Free Instant Bonus Pages

Empowering YOU To Dominate 2009…

Doug Champigny,
The Internet Marketing Blog

PS – Unless you have great heaping gobs of extra bucks to throw at your biz, or 25 years in marketing and a full knowledge of programming, nothing is as likely to add as much to your bottom line this year as setting up back-end offers – so don’t mess around – get yours started now!

Helping you succeed… DC.

Your Most Powerful Free Traffic Tool

admin — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:00:31 +0000

Are you using article marketing to drive targeted traffic to your sites? If not, you certainly should be. As has been demonstrated time and time again, article marketing is the single most powerful tool for driving targeted traffic to your Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and niche marketing websites, blogs and affiliate links.

Now there’s even more reason to start article marketing – a new article directory with a difference has opened up, and you can make affiliate commissions, Adsense money and even earn advertising credits from referring others, submitting articles and even from the articles submitted by those you referred.

And, of course, that’s all on top of the targeted traffic you drive to your sites with the links in your articles’ ‘About The Author’ box. So you get all the article marketing benefits of the traditional article directories, PLUS earn money and get additional traffic through the advertising you earn – sweet or what?

Just some of the articles I’ve submitted there in the last week include:

Affiliate Marketing Domination – Winning The Affiliate Wars

Article Marketing Meets Search Engine Optimization

Internet Marketing 2.0 – Woofers Becoming Tweeters

Internet Marketing Blogging Tips

PLR, MRR, RR… What Are Your Rights?

7 Tips For Affiliate Marketing Stardom

Now obviously, as soon as you can afford it, you want to go with a professional article marketing distribution service like Article Marketer. But until then, whenever you write an article, even if you’re using it your e-zine or on your blog, be sure to submit it to the AffSphere Article Directory too.

Note that I said an ‘article’, not a ’salespitch’ – while you can embed links in the body of your article at AffSphere, it does you no good if your writing sounds ‘pitchy’. People go to article directories to learn about various areas or to look for good articles to place on their sites or in their blogs. Obviously, no one is going to post your link-laden salespitch on their web properties, and those looking for info won’t be clicking your links either – they’ll be off to other articles in the directory. Since the reason you’re doing your article marketing is to draw targeted traffic to your sites, you have to be sure you have good, solid content in each and every article you submit.

So start by signing up to AffSphere, then search your hard drive for any articles you’ve already written and load them up. Post a link to the site on your blog, let your list know about the new directory, and away you go – your article marketing just got that much stronger. And along with all that targeted traffic, your article marketing activities is also now making you money directly – a very pleasant twist indeed!

Web 2.0 Targeted Traffic From PLR Products

admin — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:04:26 +0000

Web 2.0 Targeted Traffic From PLR Products

Once in a while a great PLR package comes available, like the one that Aurelius Tjin released this morning at www.PLRForSale.com. This package is a perfect example of Private Label Rights packages that can be used to generate targeted traffic from Web 2.0 sites without much effort, and still be used to make money online – and lots of it!

First up, there are only 100 non-transferrable PLR copies ever to be made available – and that scarcity helps your SEO efforts, your targeted traffic generation, and your sales. With so few people able to compete with you on this product, it’s much easier to get the upper hand than it is with most Master Resell Rights products – and since you have Private label rights to the package, you’re branding yourself heavily with it, which can then boost your other targeted traffic generation efforts by adding the power of name recognition.

But the real key here is that you’re getting both the PLR e-book AND the PLR audio e-book…

As always, start by revising, editing and branding the e-book – if you’re not up to speed yet on using PLR e-books, download my PLR Tutorial Videos and simply follow along with the step-by-step do-it-yourself video lessons. Edit the graphics and salespage (also covered in the videos), and get them ready to go online.

Next, create an upsell page to go between the salespage and the payment processor, where you offer the audio e-book as well for $10 or $20 more – give them both options, the e-book alone or the e-book and audio e-book. Create the two download pages, add it to your affiliate program if you’re using Hosting4Marketers.com, hook up your payment buttons and take the site live.

Now it’s time to drive targeted traffic to it from the Web 2.0 sites and technologies. Always start by doing a blog post announcing the new product, and then ping the blog directories – especially Technorati . Give it a couple of moments, then make sure it’s also showing up in your MyBlogLog listings – Technorati and MyBlogLog are the two most important Web 2.0 sites to any Internet marketer, niche marketer or affiliate marketer in terms of promoting their blog posts.

Here’s where the power of Private Label Rights, or PLR, comes into your Web 2.0 targeted traffic generation strategies… Take a look through the e-book and see if you can find a good passage of about 600-800 words that either sums up the contents of the e-book or gives some great tips without revealing the most powerful tips in the PLR package. Copy & paste that part into a notepad file and edit it as necessary to make it into a powerful Squidoo lens. Write a summary or ’signature box’ to put at the end of it, pointing out that it’s an exerpt from your book, and recommend they download the full version for more info – and be sure to link to your salespage. Add the lens to Squidoo and as soon as it’s published, bookmark it at all the popular Web 2.0 bookmarking sites using the OnlyWire site.

Next pick 3 or 4 good tips from the e-book, and copy & paste 300-400 word passages about each of those tips into separate notepad files. Touch up anything that doesn’t flow til you have four good articles, add an ‘About the Author’ box that’s similar to the one on your Squidoo lens, and submit all 4 articles to the ten or twelve top article directories online. This is the fastest way to get a number of high-quality one-way backlinks to your new site, getting it quickly spidered in Google, Yahoo!, Live Search, SearchMe, etc.

Really want to maximize your targeted traffic from the Web 2.0 sites? Go back now to the PLR Audio, listen to it right through a couple of times, making note of any 3-5 minute passages that seem particularly crammed with great information. Once you’ve picked a couple, use your audio editing program of choice to copy and paste the two or three best passages into their own audio files. Record a quick intro pointing out that the info is exerpted from your audio e-book, and a quick exit for the audios recommending people download the entire audio from your site – be sure to both say and spell out your salespage URL! Now go back to the e-book and do the same with those exact same passages, creating a transcript for each of your new audio files.

Over the course of the next few days, add one of the transcripts to your blog as a new post, embed the audio in a player with the post, and ping the usual blog directories AND the podcast directories – after all, your new audio files ARE podcasts as soon as you add them to your blog! This is an easy process if you use a podcast plugin like PodPress – and it will let you upload your podcast to the massive iTunes directory as well! Since every audio file has your URL listed at the end of the podcast, each listener at ANY source is now part of your potential traffic. And since they were interested enough to listen to the podcast, you know they’re TARGETED traffic as well!

That looks after using your new PLR for targeted web 2.0 traffic generation – assuming you remeber to grab your copy from www.PLRForSale.com before all 100 copies are gone. If you’re too late, either write and record your own product to use this way, or watch for other PLR sales that include both PLR e-books and PLR audio e-books.

Done right, this can be one of the most powerful targeted traffic producing machines you can put online right now – use the Web 2.0 sites and Web 2.0 technologies to your own massive advantage while they’re still the hottest traffic-generating resources around!

To your successsful targeted traffic generation…

Using Video To Build Opt-In Lists

admin — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:17:30 +0000

Using Video To Build Opt-In Lists

More and more video is appearing online – both personal videos people share with friends and videos marketers are using to sell their products, build traffic to their web sites, as products themselves, and to build their lists.

When you talk about using video for list-building, most people immediately think of offering downloadable videos as bait to get people to opt-in – and that’s a very good use of video. But there’s an even better way to use video for building your list – Video Squeeze Pages!

Still fairly new online, the initial results from video opt-in pages are extremely encouraging – people are reporting much higher opt-in rates with video squeeze pages than the standard HTML pages that were there before. And that’s not really surprising, if you think about live in the offline world.

It’s human nature that we prefer doing business with people we know, as opposed to big, faceless corporations. You like dealing with Bob the grocer, Mary the hairdresser, Donna the newspaper girl and Billy the pool boy. But what emotion is called up by thinking about the government, the banks, the telephone and cable companies or an oil company? Which of those two groups would you rather your money was going to?

The same will most likely prove to be the case online, based on the results we’re seeing from video. When you do a quick video inviting people to sign up and telling them about your e-zine and your incentive, they’re doing business with YOU – a real, live human being they can probably relate to, as opposed to a big faceless website.

You’ve been to a number of the huge websites – from corporate sites to the search engines. Feel any emotional attachments to them? Would you care if they disappeared tomorrow and were replaced by another? Would you even notice?

But if you frequent a marketer’s site, one that presents themselves in videos for you, the connection is stronger. Not as strong as if you’d met them in person, perhaps, but MUCH more so than a corporate site.

And THAT’S the reason emerging for the fact that video squeeze pages are getting better results. And like anything in the realm of marketing, better results means more profit – and that more and more people will be following suit until the market is saturated – if that level CAN be reached online.

But don’t wait til video squeeze pages are as common as blogs are today – get your own video squeeze page online now while they’re fairly new, and enjoy the extra returns it brings. Simply put your short video on a page with your opt-in form beside it, and invite people to fill out the information and download your gift.

==================================
Web 2.0 targeted traffic expert Doug Champigny was one of the first to put a major audio-video toolset for Internet Marketers online, and uses video for a number of marketing tasks online. His Building Your Opt-In List PLR Bundle is now available to the first 200 buyers only.
==================================

And enjoy all the extra opt-ins your video squeeze page will bring you!

Article Marketing Meets Search Engine Optimization!

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:40:55 +0000

Article Marketing Meets Search Engine Optimization!

Search engine optimization (SEO) is important on your web site – but you already knew that, right? But did you know that search engine optimization is also an important part of your article marketing, vis-à-vis the articles that you will distribute and submit to the various article directories too? You must keep SEO in mind during all of your article marketing efforts…

You may think that the only part that article marketing plays in search engine optimization is that it provides numerous one-way back links to your websites, blogs and affiliate promotions. While this does help in the optimization of your own sites to an extent, there is more to it than that. You want your articles to become as viral as possible – and performing search engines optimization on your articles accomplishes this feat in two very important ways.

First, when your article is search engine friendly, using keywords that you hope to target in the search engines, it is more likely to appear higher up in the search engine results when those keywords are searched. Furthermore, when people do searches at the article directories using your keywords, your articles should come up better in those results as well. Search engine optimization and article marketing really must go hand-in-hand at all times!

Second, there are hundreds of thousands of people building AdSense sites. They want articles that cause specific types of AdSense ads to appear on their site. An article with the right search engine optimization accomplishes this, which means that more of these publishers will want to use your articles on their site – and that wider exposure can boost your article marketing results significantly.

Unfortunately, most online marketers don’t understand the importance of making their articles search engine friendly – and even if they do, they aren’t sure how to achieve sufficient search engine optimization in their article marketing efforts. Many sites and e-books go into long, complicated explanations, but it is really quite simple.

First, use your keyword phrase in the title of your article. This is extremely important. Next determine the keyword density that you want to use. Experts say that a keyword density of 2% – 5% is good. This means that 2% or more of your article should contain your keyword phrase. So if your article is 500 words long, your keyword phrase should appear at least 10 times (500 x 2% = 10). So your keyword phrase should be used twice in the first paragraph, six times in the body of the article, and twice in the last paragraph.

Article marketing is one of the most powerful ways to promote your web sites and your blogs, and to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing links. Hopefully your on-site search engine optimization is already bringing you in solid levels of targeted traffic from the major search engines, and now you know to keep off-site search engine optimization foremost in your mind when you next sit down to your article marketing tasks!

====================
Since starting out online in 1996, Internet marketer Doug Champigny has become a recognized search engine optimization expert, and has generated millions of page-views for his 100+ websites & blogs. He shares a lot of what he’s discovered at the Internet Marketing with Doug Champigny blog.

Viral Marketing Basics

Viral Marketing is one of the best ways for you to sell a product or service – in fact, it’s one of the best ways to make a lot of sales.

How? Because thanks to the way that viral marketing works, you don’t need to have a big list, or a lot of money to put into an advertising campaign – but you can still have a huge impact.

First of all, let’s go over exactly what viral marketing is. (According to Wikipedia, “Viral Marketing refers to marketing techniques that use preexisting social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet. Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message voluntarily. Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, images, or even text messages.”)

But that sounds a little complicated, don’t you think? To break it down into plain English, basically Viral Marketing is just a way of getting a bunch of people to tell other people about something you’ve created to build a buzz about your product or service. And by passing it around to other people, it builds social proof – (because there’s a kind of implied endorsement when you send something to someone else.) Sometimes you get lucky and the more it’s passed around the more it takes on a life of its own.

A perfect example is the “Free Hugs” video on YouTube. It has been viewed by millions of people, and the music – a song written by a group called the “Sick Puppies.” That video was responsible for launching their singing career – even though that was not the original intention. That video – and the story behind it went viral and caught the attention – and the hearts – of people all over the world. It even spawned a movement that is still going on.

Although you might not be able to pull off a viral marketing campaign that does as well as the “Free Hugs” video, if you are willing to spend a little time researching your market and your target audience, and can think outside the box, you can create a very successful viral marketing campaign of your own.

What kind of things can go viral? Obviously videos. (In fact, if you look at most of the “gurus” in the Internet Marketing field right now, you’ll see they’re all heavily using videos to promote their launches and create marketing campaigns that go viral. However, if you don’t have the desire to do videos, you can go with that old standby – the “Special Report.” Podcasts, white papers, even case studies all have the ability to “go viral” and get a lot of people very interested in what you have to say – and sell.

To create a successful viral marketing campaign, it’s very important that you find the right mix of media, marketing and audience. Make sure that your target audience is going to be interested in what you have to say, the way you’re saying it and how you’re bringing it to their attention. If you get these three things right, chances are, you’ll have a winner on your hands, and your next marketing campaign will go viral too.

Monetizing Your Writing Skills On The Internet

Monetizing Your Writing Skills On The Internet

If you have a flair for writing and you want to make tons of money online, then you have a match made in Heaven!

Writers are considered to be a great asset. The Chinese have a saying called the “Iron Rice Bowl” which is used to refer to an occupation with a guaranteed job security and a good income.

Once you learn to monetize your writing skills, you can definitely guarantee yourself a “Rice Bowl” made of granite!

There are many areas that you can apply with your writing skills.

(1) Article marketing – just write one good article and have them submitted to a couple of article directories (e.g. E-zine Articles). It will give you a boost in search engine ranking and most important of all, tons of targeted traffic!

(2) E-product creation – there are thousands of E-books sold on the Internet on a daily basis. When you take a closer look at the info product creation market, you will find an inexhaustible demand for quality E-books and unique content.

(3) Blog marketing – writing professionally written blog posts and profiles is a market in itself. There is a growing need for personal and corporate blogs, and there are many out there who can’t write their way out of a grade school English test. Combined with blog template setup and header/banner creation, you have a huge market waiting for you.

(4) Copywriting – salesmanship in print! Having sales skills combined with good writing is an unstoppable synergy. And bear in mind, copywriting isn’t just about writing sales letters. The direct marketing industry is your goldmine.

(5) Viral marketing – This is similar to article marketing except that unlike articles, E-books or special reports created with master resell rights or private label rights will easily spread like wild-fire. Who needs search engines when your book and solo ads are read by hundreds of people each day?

These are just some examples. You just need to market yourself as a brand and familiarize yourself with the industry. After all, any good marketer knows that having writers in your team is a great asset to their business.

Good writers are hard to find. Finding great writers who are willing to ghostwrite for you without taking the credit is even harder.

Viral Marketing List Building

admin — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 08:17:18 +0000

Are You Using Viral Marketing To Build Your List To Guru Status?

I hear it all the time. “The money is in the list!” Do I believe it? You bet I do! How do you think the gurus became gurus? By having a large list of people who know who they are and buy from them. It’s common sense! If you build a big list, give that list content, promote products to that list, and you will make money. The bigger your list the more you’ll make. It’s a simple concept, but it does take some work.

I have been using one tactic that has built my list very quickly and has made my list very diversified. I have people on my list that are interested in earning money with Google Adsense, List Building, Income Systems, Viral Marketing, and just about any other topic related to Internet marketing.

So, I bet your asking me how I did this?

Two words – Viral Marketing

That’s right, I took the power of viral marketing and watched it build my list on auto pilot day after day, and I continually use it to build my lists even today.

Whenever I want to add a few thousand subscribers to my list, I simply find a few products that come with resale rights that I can use as giveaway bonuses. These products are usually on the same topic. I then create a mini guide talking about these products and about the topic of the products. I then put the links inside this mine guide to the resale rights products.

The guides range from 15-30 pages, and cover the topic of the resale rights products that I chose. For example, if my resale rights products are on List Building, then my guide will also be on List Building. You can either create your own content for the guide, pay someone to write it for you, or use private label content.

After your guide is all created, put a small ad on the first page of the guide for your list’s sign up page. Package it all up and start giving it away to everyone that you can, and tell them they can give it away or sell it. By doing this, you are starting a viral marketing campaign that could go on for months or even years! Every time a new person gets your guide, the first thing they see is the ad for your list’s sign up page. If they pass it on, all of those people see your ad too, and it just keeps going on and on.

Getting people to give things away is getting harder and harder, so to make it beneficial for people to give your guide away throw in a few affiliate links to resources and allow people to brand those affiliate links. That way people can give your guides away with your list’s sign up page in them, and when someone buys through the affiliate links the person giving the guide away gets paid! It’s a win-win situation.

You could use this one tactic alone and put out a new guide that others can give away every other week, and you’ll be amazed at how fast you build your list.

Don’t be fooled though, you have to work your list. You must give good content, and treat them all like they are your customers. Even if they have never bought from you before, there’s always the chance they will buy from you in the future!

I wish you much success on your list building journey!
