Why Internet Marketing Just WORKS

 :: Posted by Brian Glusman on 10-31-2009

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?

For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.

At its core, internet marketing is about these things:

* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.

My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.

My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers – as we do – and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.

However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.

Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.

Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.

Commission Blueprint On the Watch List For Best System?

 :: Posted by Brian Glusman on 10-30-2009

Does Commission Blueprint teach you how to make money online? Steve Clayton wants your attention and here’s my own story.

When I travel I like to discover and exeperince new things. Despite this horrid recession, people must remember to dedicate themselves to exploring alternate methods of making money.

People are doing serious belt tightening and even the biggest Fortune 500 companies are reeling from the lack of consumer spending so what’s a small business to do?

Small businesses do not share the luxury of having a large marketing budget, but are able to adapt to changes and retool their message much more quickly than the big boys.

By doing this your company’s way more efficient and your marketing dollars are spent on results instead of being wasted continuing to do stuff which once worked but no longer does.

Following a proven blueprint is the fastest way to success so I like a hungry predator hunting in the bushes I beat my way through the Internet to find the best solution.

Lots of people out there and maybe even those you’ve talked to may have told you there’s nothing on the Internet except scams and con men. Unfortunately, the make money market seems to attract the hucksters and snake oil salesman by the millions.

Some of these scams you might have seen:

-Chain mail letters where people send me if I only send them first.

-Some Nigerian scams say a relative I never knew left me million and all I had to do was send them my Social Security Number.

-You can send 5,000,000 emails targeted to people and never get a spam complaint.

This kind of hype and these ridiculous claims are too far gone to be believable.

I was surfing the internet and by accident stumbled upon this blueprint website. I always like blueprints because they’re something which are used to build buildings and if they’re good enough for that I figure there good enough to build other things including an ongoing income.

So I looked around and found this comment from a well known guy who’s making good money from his internet business.

He went on to say:

This is the kind of quality education that you usually find in home study courses that cost three times as much. You guys have done a great job with breaking down the science of affiliate marketing into easy-to-follow steps.

So Michael thanks for the heads up and for all of the rest of you out there on the forums and blogs who were so helpful and instrumental in getting me off my butt and convincing me to take a chance thank you too.

The ball is now in your court; you have to decide. To determine whether Commission Blueprint is best for you right now, read more here.

Can Opting For The Right Ecommerce Templates Increase Your Store’s Revenue?

 :: Posted by Brian Glusman on 10-29-2009

Have you ever wondered why your site’s bounce rate is so high despite the fact that you may have the best package deals on the internet?

The predicament might probably likely rest in your ecommerce template. Many online store entrepreneurs do not afford enough importance on ecommerce templates. They do not realize that ecommerce templates play a significant part in turning a visitor into a customer. The truth is there is a science to this. Everything from colors, fonts and arrangements of elements have a role to play in turning a mere store visitor into someone who purchases your products. In the end, that is what every single store owner wants.

Early impressions are crucial to piquing a visitor’s interest. A site has more or less only 10 seconds to pull this off. Every feature on the page has to work in tandem well to make this happen. Every component on the page must be there for a reason. Nothing should be there simply for aesthetic purposes only. If it’s not playing a part to help you make a sale then it can be considered a waste of both your time and the customer’s as well.   

So just how exactly does a store owner pull off such a feat?

Products, Templates And The Market
Quite a number of ecommerce solution sites offer free ecommerce templates. Alternatively, if you can spare a bit of cash, you could purchase your very own custom designed site that should suit your needs to a T.  

If you do nevertheless opt to use the free templates provided, do make certain it fits your theme or market. For instance, if your store sells flowers, you could do better than to select an ecommerce template that has a dark hue. You would need something more colorful and bright to create an ambiance which  feels just right. 

Prime Location
If you need to make an impact, there’s an area on the first page that is perfect for the job. This is the portion of the page that is popularly known as the first fold area. It is the area where visitors do not have to scroll down to view. It is the very first view visitors have of your site when they land there. This is the spot where most sites use attention grabbing images to get the attention of visitors. But attention grabbing pictures are just part of the whole scheme; that’s just the lure. Keep in mind, visitors would probably only afford a few seconds at most to explore the area near the center of attraction so make sure crucial elements such as text, ads and buy buttons are situated nearby.

Ways In Which You Can Make Money Online

 :: Posted by Brian Glusman on 10-28-2009

People each day replace their usual income and exceed it, or top it up by working part or full time online. There are various ways to do this and today I hope to tell you a few of them. If you make money online, you will be able to pick what type of work best suits you and most of the online ventures require no experience eat all or you can use the experience you already have to create an income that will be the envy of anyone you know.

One way in which people make money online is to complete surveys. A lot of businesses out there want to know what it is the customer wants or opinions on a new product before it is released for sale, which will mean that as well as being able to give your opinion from everything form politics to hairspray you will also be able to make money too. Some sites will offer in the way of money or incentives.

A lot of businesses will benefit from advertising to sell products but as they are working on other things or do not have the expertise they will outsource their advertising so that others like you can do that work for them. You will earn from each person you will bring to their site, or you may earn from each sale that is made from your advertisements. This can also be done by putting relevant search engine advertisements on your web page or blog so you can generate income from advertising your own site. This is how you make money blogging.

You may be one of these people who has to be the first to have all the latest technology or clothing, so how would you feel if you could get these for free, plus get paid for giving your feedback to the site. As well as having the product to keep for no charge you will be able to make the product better or reflect on the price it will be sold for just by doing what you would anyway.

If you like to write then you can make money from this too, writing either articles for businesses and sites, or you can write about pretty much anything. This will also mean that you will be able to expand your knowledge on things you may not have known about before by researching.

Getting paid to write is a brilliant way to generate income, and if you have a second language you may be able to earn even more. A lot of people will want to outsource their work, which is great for both them and you as they do not have to employ someone full time and you will be able to create work on a full time basis from different companies, and as their are so many different subjects what you may write about from one day to another can vary.

As you have seen there are many money making ventures online, and there are too many that I could mention in one article, however which ever one you will choose will give you more freedom than an 8 hour job, plus you know that you will always be able to get back what you put into your work, unlike some jobs where you all receive the same salary for different workloads, you can finally be rewarded for what you do and be able to afford the things you want.
