Monetize Your Traffic

June 18, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Residual Income

Establishing your own E-commerce site is not like what it used to be. There are thousands of competition that is all too willing to get a bigger share of the pie. Every scheme and method you can find to augment your sales would be very beneficial.

We have got to admit to ourselves. Most of us are into it for the money. We are not going to waste our time and effort just for the fun of it. Many sites would not wait until hell freezes over just to see their profits. While there are some who takes things lightly there are always those who would rather see profit any given day.

It is common knowledge that without traffic we have no business. Like any business, without any customers you don’t get sales. Traffic represents all the people that gets a chance to see what you have to offer. The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them.

Nobody puts up an E-commerce site that doesn’t expect profit. We have a startup capital that needs to be regained. With a consistent traffic, we at least have a fighting chance to achieve that probability. Monetizing your traffic would optimize your chances of making the best out of it.

Making Money out of your Traffic
The best and most proven method of making a profit out of your traffic is using advertising. The internet generates hundreds of thousands upon hundred of thousands of traffic everyday. Most of them are searching for something. While some are just looking for information there is also a good percentage that is looking for something that they need.

The internet has proven to be a very reliable source in finding what was deemed to be a very unsearchable product. The internet has made the world a smaller place; you can advertise a product from the depths of Istanbul and still find a buyer from the center of Philadelphia.

Generating traffic is not an easy task. You have to contend with a great number of sites to generate a good number of traffic flow. But if done successfully this could open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities. One of the benefits is monetizing your traffic flow.

So, to get to the core of it the more traffic you generate the more likely you are considered as a desirable, desirable, in a sense that a good traffic flowing site is easily convertible to profit. Basically traffic equals profit. Advertising is the name of the game; with the good advertising scheme you can use your traffic flow to your advantage.

When you have good traffic you have a good number of potential customers, customers that are willing to pour money into your coffers. Other than that these are also traffic that can be redirected to sponsored links that are willing to pay you for a sizeable portion of the traffic that you have generated.

This scheme is called “pay-per-click”. With every click a visitor of your site makes on an advertised link you will be paid. The more traffic you generate and the more clicks that happens would spell to more profits.

Affiliate Programs
Another method of monetizing your traffic are affiliate programs. You can link up with other tried and tested sites and online companies and monetize your traffic by having a percentage of sales generated by traffic coming from your site.

The basic idea is, traffic generated from your site will go to another site that can offer a product that you do not carry. Many programs can keep track and make records of transactions that was made possible because of site linkage.

When purchases are made by customers that was led by your site to their site you get a percentage of that sale. Affiliate programs would give you the benefit of monetizing your traffic without the actual need of carrying or promoting a certain product.

There are so many ways and methods to monetize your traffic. All it takes is a bit of hard work and the desire to successfully launch a profit-earning site. The internet is a veritable source of information, many tips and guides are offered everywhere in how to monetize your traffic and make your site a good profit earner.

Advertising Your Videos

June 15, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Residual Income, Uncategorized

Affiliate programs are marketing tools used by vendor sites such as amazon.com. Basically, you need to sign-up for the program and they will give you an affiliate ID number. You will receive instructions on how to create links to their website from your own website or written article. You can even create links to specific products on their website. When a person clicks on the link you made, the vendor site takes note of the reference number and your ID number. If the customer buys from the vendor, you are given a commission.

In short, you promote their website and products. Once you have it set up, you just wait for the money to come in. Also, affiliates get discounts and bonuses based in the quantity of traffic that they are able to direct to the vendor site.

Autoresponders are the answering machines of the internet. Say, you have a number of products on the internet up for sale. These products are technologically challenging to most people so you will need to provide detailed information on how to operate and maintain the devices.

If you do this on your website, chances are you will have a design problem since this will require large amounts of space on the webpage. With autoresponders, you can place a link for all the nitty-gritty stuff and a pre-composed email message will be sent to the one who requested it. You can place a form where they can write down their email address and place the link below it. You will need to do the pre-composing of those automatic replies too.

Autoresponders can be used in many ways. Aside from answering queries for detailed information requests, autoresponders can also be used as correspondence trackers. Different websites offer autoresponders with different functions. Some of these sites offer autoresponder services for free.

If you happen to have an existing website, you can correspond with another website to have your banner placed on their site. In exchange, you will need to accommodate their banner on your site. The same is true for links. You can place a link to another site while the webmaster of that site can place a link to your site. If you don’t have a banner, you can search for free or paid banner maker utilities in the web.

Internet classified adds are an available option for promoting your website. Some classified ads websites give away their services for free.

If you want to become a big vendor site, the way to go about it is through e-commerce. This entails setting up shopping carts for your customers so they can note down their orders. You will also need to analyze your payment system. Of course, you will need to accept payments from major credit cards but you can allow or deny payments made by check, paypal or money order.

Electronic magazine or E-zines are newsletters that get sent regularly to a list of e-mail recipients. These recipients are subscribed to the E-zine so spamming is not an issue. You need to have an article about your product handy and several links embedded within it just in case the subscriber decides he wants your pocket knife.

With mailing lists, you send out a bunch of emails to a target audience. This is where spam usually comes from. One form of mailing list let’s the consumer decide whether he/she wants to be in your mailing list. This is called the opt-in mailing list. I like this list.

There are still a number of money making ideas and utilities that have not been covered here. To tell you frankly, there are just too many of them to mention. Why not browse around and take a look for yourself. Researching and reading material can be a tedious a process, but the knowledge that you gain it from it might be just what you need to set-up or improve your own internet business.

While there are many money makers out there, beware of those that claim to be able to teach you how to earn yourself thousands in a single week. For one thing, they charge you for it before you can even try.

Educating Through Video

June 15, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Residual Income

People from third-world or developing countries who want to get updated or advanced education from industrialized nations are having a hard time, mostly because of immigration or visa requirements.

This is much is true in countries like Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom, whose immigration qualifications are very stringent. In some countries, the United States requires that a certain amount be placed in trust as a bond to ensure that visitors do return to their countries of origin.

Educators in these developed countries recognize the desire of foreign students to avail themselves of superior standards in education. This is where the internet becomes a central tool in global, quality education.

If you go online today, you will find plenty of colleges, universities and even Ivy League institutions offering online education ranging from certification, degree, post graduate and doctorate level courses. These online schools and universities are certainly convenient for those who cannot enter developed countries due to lack of qualifications for visa approval requirements.

In the domestic front, these online schools become an alternative to the physically handicapped or mentally ill. For people with motor dysfunctions such as Parkinson’s disease, online education becomes a saving grace in their lives. It not only becomes convenient, but it also provides these people with a connection to the world right in their own homes.

Having the burden of education addressed by the internet is a convenience for the operators of care facilities as they can exclusively use these online schools for the education of their patients or as extra sources and materials used in their curriculum.

With all of these in mind, new materials and tools for online instruction need to be developed. Foremost among these necessary tools is audio and video streaming through the internet. Audio-video streaming allows for two people to instantly communicate from distinctly separate locations. An instructor can use the internet to talk to his or her student face to face, so to speak.

One thing our educators agree upon is that there is no better teacher than experience. In recent years, companies started manufacturing educational videos for use by infants. By using these video, infants are projected to start learning at an earlier age than before.

Because of the audio-video experience, the attention given to these videos by an infant is considerably more than they would give to a children’s book. In being able to grab attention and interest, the video succeeds in educating the mind of the child.

In the same manner, the use of audio and video in the education of older children, juveniles and adults is a more interesting and entertaining experience than a plain chemistry book. With a person actually able to see the animated structure of an atom, the curiosity of that individual is stimulated. When people become curious, their imagination becomes active and they strive to gather more information about the subject.

This is where the importance of education through video lies. The content (assuming that it is interesting) grabs the viewers’ attention and stirs their curiosity, thereby stimulating a thirst for knowledge.

As internet audio-video streaming technology improves, the more use they will become to online educational institutions. People who have knowledge of how to install and use these utilities are quickly becoming assets to many entrepreneurs, especially those businesses that are situated in the internet.

The use of video streaming technology by websites has ballooned significantly. Even websites designed by amateurs and those people who have their own blog sites are starting to sprout videos. Video streaming is starting to grow. You might want to grow with it.

Internet Marketing is a Breeze

June 15, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Marlon Sanders

If you’ve been following Internet marketing for any period of time you’ve noticed that the rate at which new products come out is almost like a fireworks show.

Everyone sits back and goes “ooh and aah” and buys the latest, hottest and greatest new products, but it’s easy to feel confused or overwhelmed — and in the end you can’t decide which model to follow, or what the heck to do!

There’s only 1 product that boils down what you need to do and how you need to do it into a simple “point, click and follow the steps” system.

That product is The Marketing Dashboard

You may actually want to call it the “Money Dashboard”  because what it’s going to do is give you simple steps and actions to take to get products ready to sell, promoted, sold, delivered and the money banked. You can either sit back and watch the fireworks show and keep going “ooh and aah” or pick 1 model proven to work and just do it.

The Marketing Dashboard is built on one of the simplest and oldest models, which is to find out what people want to buy, get it or create it, then promote it and profit from it.

If you’ve been sitting around saying you need to get something done or need to get a product out or you wish that some day the ebooks you bought on Internet marketing would somehow magically turn into money or if you’re frustrated waiting for your search engine pages to finally, maybe, possibly get some darn traffic, then maybe it’s time you stopped making excuses and just get it done.

Here’s the formula: Dashboard = Get It Done

Design Dashboard Q&A

June 14, 2009 By: admin Category: Internet Marketing, Marlon Sanders

Here are some questions you may have about the
Design Dashboard

QUESTION ONE:
Is this just for designing web sites? Or can it help me (or my assistant) do graphics for blogs, landing pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers and
Power Point presentations?

ANSWER:
It’ll help you with anything you need to do
graphics for. Even if you outsource, it’s GREAT to be able to whip something out in a hurry when you don’t have time to wait.

QUESTION TWO:
Is this something I can REALLY do without sweating bullets and going through the learning curve?

ANSWER:
ONLY if you have “The Design Dashboard.” If you don’t, yeah, it’s gonna be a real pain. But with the Design Dashboard, you have step-by-step screen caps that make doing things a breeze. Plus, video where needed.

QUESTION THREE: Why would I need this if I use templates?

ANSWER: 1. A blog header with graphics looks better than a plain one. You have the chance to do a little branding.

2. Templates for Power Point are just backgrounds. What about graphics that illustrate your point?

3. If you buy the SAME templates from the same places everyone else does, will YOU break through the noise?

4. With just a little skill and the right software, you can create some GREAT graphics for affiliate pre-sell pages.

5. There ARE programs that create ebook covers but they don’t do the GRAPHICS FOR the covers in most cases. The Design Dashboard serves many purposes.

QUESTION FOUR: How much is the software gonna ding me for?

ANSWER: $100 or less for the graphics software. If you want to add flash audio buttons to your site, you can spend $27 to $100 for that software, but SAVE $20 a month vs. what most people do.

In other words, if you do just ONE graphic header in 2007 yourself instead of outsourcing it, you paid for it.

QUESTION FIVE: Why learn to do design when I can outsource it?

ANSWER: 1. You may not get the special treatment and same quality that “gurus” receive.

2. Talented designers sometimes get booked up for weeks.
What if you need it sooner rather than later?

3. Once you see how easy it is to do graphics, you’ll probably find yourself doing at least SOME stuff yourself when you’re in a hurry.

4. Outsourcing is great. But you may want to only outsource when you need that special touch and do bread-and-butter stuff yourself.

5. You can have your ASSISTANT use the Design Dashboard and do stuff for you. It can be your training tool for THEM.

QUESTION SIX: What will the Design Dashboard do for me?

ANSWER: 1. You can design GRAPHICS for blogs, landing pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers, power points.

2. Above and beyond that, there are step-by-step instructions for your sales letter (if you need one), ftp, shopping cart and other stuff. This is ONLY for the people who need it. You can use all the design part even if you don’t need THOSE things. But it’s nice to know they’re there if you need them.

3. You will save money.

Other programs use software that isn’t mainstream and may not keep up with the times. Plus, you can’t buy any books on it at the bookstore. Or they use Photoshop CS which is $650 or $750 USD. Then, for html, they use Dreamweaver, which sets you back more. I could go on and on. I’ve stripped out every possible cost.

4. You will save time

I know you have 1,000 things to do. Even watching videos takes TIME. That’s why I’ve used as many screen caps as I can. Learning from them is faster than video. But I’ve used video where it made learning faster.

5. You will avoid a painful, full-blown learning curve

The worse thing about software is the learning curve. I’ve taken out the learning curve and JUST given you the steps you need to know.
