Is Your Blog Better Than Wikipedia?

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 3:08 pm

by
How do you beat Wikipedia, the world’s number one free online encyclopedia, managed by thousands of passionate (and unpaid) editors, and a darling of Google?

In case you didn’t realize, Wikipedia already ranks top 10 for almost all popular search engine queries and keywords. Wikipedia’s main page has a PR (PageRank) of 8 and the English home page has a PR of 9.

Almost every topic and keyword imaginable has been covered (or will soon be covered) by this digital encyclopedia of sorts. The fact is they have more in-depth and complete content compared to your website or blog, and the people writing this content don’t ask for payment. Tying to match Wikipedia in terms of content integrity and completeness is suicide.

So how do you beat a giant like this?

The answer is to NOT become another Wikipedia yourself.

Look at it this way - how many people actually read an encyclopedia?

Are you telling me that just because encyclopedias exist, no one sells a book? Not in the real world. In the real world people put encyclopedias in a dusty bookshelf and use them only a handful of times in a year. But they read magazines, they buy books, they attend events and they most certainly read blogs.

The only time you should be looking at an encyclopedia is when you need a point of reference when writing a serious publication or thesis. Encyclopedias are boring, and so is Wikipedia.

So here’s Gobala Krishnan’s 5-step process to beating Wikipedia:

1) Improve your writing style

You must improve your writing. If your writing is similar to the boring (although concise) Wikipedia text, you’re doomed. Inject your personality and develop your own style of writing. My style of writing is very plain, direct and personal. Some people choose to write in a more poetic / scholarly way. Some people inject humor or use harsh words. No matter what, improving your writing style will set you apart and attract loyal readers to your blog.

2) Become more opinionated

People sitting on the fence sooner or later fall over. You either like something or hate it. If you’re neutral, you’re Wikipedia. Don’t become the best encyclopedia around; become the most dramatic blogger or writer.

Express your feelings for a certain product or service you’ve tried, even if it means you may lose some affiliate commissions from your honesty. It’s ok if some people hate the way you completely flamed a product or service. In the long run people will still prefer to read what you have to say then read a neutral page on Wikipedia.

3) Stay current and relevant

Read up on your industry, and put yourself in a position where you understand not only the past, but also the present and future of certain topics in your market. Wikipedia can’t beat you if you can (based on your established position of an expert in a focused market) foretell the future and influence others to accept your views.

As valuable as history is, people care mostly about today and tomorrow. If you are ahead of the market, or at least up-to-date with the latest developments, write about it and let people know.

4) Perfect your personal brand

Make everything you write, everything you sell, your sites and your design smell, taste and feel like YOU. It must be consistent enough so that people don’t even need to read a site to know that it belongs to you. Don’t brand yourself as a know-it-all; brand yourself as a true expert inn a niche market, and everyone will love you for it.

Wikipedia goes a mile wide and an inch deep. You on the other hand should go just an inch wide, but a mile deep.

You are a brand. Market that brand, and your online business will take a turn for the better. Unique branding, as history has proven, adds incredible power to any business.

5) Don’t put all your eggs in SEO

Search engine optimization is great and all, but it only takes another 9 more Wikipedia type of sites to completely dominate the first page of Google. There’s absolutely no way you’re going to beat sites like that in terms of pure SEO.

Focus more on social networking, making friends, finding new business partners, and creating more non-SEO-dependent sites. There are other ways to get traffic to your blogs than just search engines, so get creative. If you’re stuck with the idea of “Write great content and the traffic will come”, you’re in for a big surprise.

The bottom line is that you can’t beat Wikipedia at their own game. Thousands have tried and failed miserably. But if you change your game, as far as your online business is concerned, you’ll always win.

Why your online business needs an autoresponder

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 3:08 pm

by Matt Cook
The importance of an professional autoreponder comes in its ability to capture leads and send them to the affiliates sales page you are promoting.

Once your autoreponder is set up with a sequence of messages you autoreponder will automatically send the messages straight to your subscribers email inbox. For example message one will be sent as soon as your lead subscribes. Message two could be 3 days after they subscribe and message 3 could be 5 days after message 2.

The messages can even be customized with there names in the email, so each email you send seems personal.

The problem with sending your lead directly to the merchants sales page is that if that customer leaves, you’ve lost a sale. There is no way you will likely ever come in contact that person again.

But, if you capture that person email address you can keep in contact with this and promote products related to your niche that they may find useful.

How do you get people to sign up for your mailing list? Most affiliate marketers offer a free downloadable eBook report, videos, software or something of value for the niche you are pursuing.

Promote your new squeeze page the same as you would your affiliate marketing merchants sales page.

It is very import to use a professional auto responder. While you can get them for free it is far better to use a paid service such as Aweber. Aweber’s easy to use interface will allow you to create your follow up messages, opt-in boxes and anything else you need quickly and easily.

Free auto responders are in my experience very difficult and annoying to use. Also, in the messages most free autoreponder services have their own advertisements in the emails you send. You do not want your autoreponder to make someone else money.

If you are looking to get a high quality autoreponder I suggest you checkout Aweber.

Good luck with your new affiliate marketing business.

How to Get Rich Building a LAZY Downline?

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 2:08 pm

by crescentcorp
If you haven’t heard yet… James Grandstaff has released “Part 2″ of his “Downline Secrets.”

Before I get to my review, I thought I should play a little catch-up in case you have no clue as to what ownline Secrets “Part 1″ is about. Basically, with Downline Secrets part 1 you get free access to a recorded call between Mike Filsaime and James Grandstaff. Mike asks James questions about the success he had using InstantBuzz.com (a free advertising resource) to grow his downline. You get access to the MP3 and PDF transcript of the call (which is nice because I don’t always like to sit in front of my PC to read or listen to content.)

During the call James reveals how he used his free Instant Buzz traffic along with his (now proven) 3 step strategy to explode his downline into the thousands on complete auto pilot. The cool part is he did it while maintaining his full time job as a PC support technician in Michigan. And from there you have the opportunity to buy the same software that James developed to grow his downline and use it to grow your downline in any program you happen to be involved in.

So all-in-all DownlineSecrets.com is a great site and offers a lot of great info for free on how to build your downline using the web. What makes Downline Secrets “Part 2″ so much better is that it takes over where Downline Secrets 1 left off. What I mean is this… With Downline Secrets 1 you were left to figure out all the technical stuff in order to duplicate James’ results for your MLM business. The software and detailed videos are fantastic but you still have to come up with the web copy, the hosting, the HTML page design and so on… The yucky stuff.

Let’s just say his target market is much smaller because if you don’t have the much needed technical skills or the money to hire those with the skills, you are pretty much out of luck and can’t fully benefit from the entire system he is teaching. This time around you get access to a call between James Grandstaff and Chris Zavadowski who is also very successful in the MLM scene. He grills James for over an hour and gets all the must know secrets out of him.

The system James is offering this time is over the top! He covers all the technical stuff for us this time and everything is completely set-up. All the technical issues have been removed. This is great because more people can now truly benefit from his teachings and proven system.

Now, I want to let you in on something… Once you register for the call below you will see an offer for James’ Elite upgrade membership. All I can say is ==> TAKE IT! It’s only $47 bucks and for what you get it’s simply mind blowing!

In a nut shell… he’s offering you a professional designed lead capture page that gives away a customized version of his new manuscript called ‘How to Get Rich Building a LAZY Downline!’ This PDF is first customized with your affiliate links to several “generic” MLM training resources. As you give this thing away you will earn commissions from those you refer who upgrade in any of the programs. And since they’re all MLM related, the conversion rates should be extremely high! All you do is simply advertise the lead capture page via the special link you get and James’ software sends an email to your prospects (with a link to your customized PDF), everything is on auto-pilot!

Oh, and don’t worry, the traffic aspect is even handled for you. Be sure to check out the bonus that’s included :-) See, I told you this thing was awesome. As you can see, I’m totally excited about this because it’s refreshing to see a great product come along that is truly capable of changing the lives of others.

So yes, Downline Secrets 2 gets my highest recommendation!

Sign up below and buy everything ;)

Starting a Website- Do it Right the First Time

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 11:08 am

by tom counts
It used to be in the “olden days” of the Internet, 1995 and 1996, that even a basic web site could cost you thousands of dollars. The common saying among business owners when talking to their designer would be, “I don’t want to know anything about it. Just go make me a million bucks on the Internet.”

Well, that model didn’t work because every change and addition would cost a small fortune to implement…

Then in 1997-2000, the hottest trend around was to hear CEO’s of multi-million dollar corporations bragging in the boardroom how they paid their 14-year old $50 to produce their web site.

That didn’t work either, because most 14-year-olds are not skilled sales people.

Business owners got smarter around 2002 and started demanding more “control” over the content of their web sites. So, “Content Management Systems,” otherwise known as CMS, became more popular. But, after a few months of having the ability to update their web sites without having to know HTML or programming, business owners yet again were stumped.

They began to ask, “Why am I STILL unable to generate the leads or sales I thought I would with my web site?”

Today, there is a NEW TREND in starting a web site and building its effectiveness the first time around…and it starts with YOU.

1) Business owners are wanting to be involved in the process now. This is great news for companies like ours who help businesses use the Internet to its fullest potential. After all, you know your audience better than we do. You know your products and services better than anyone could. You will always have more passion than anyone to want your business to succeed.

Being involved does not mean stopping what you’re good at and spending a year learning how to become a web site designer or going to programming school. But, it does mean investing some time in attending Internet strategy workshops and picking up a book or two to learn the process.

2) Business owners realize that there is much more to it than just “starting a web site.” Gone are the days (were they ever here?) where you can just launch a web site and watch the orders roll in. There needs to be a strategic launch, short-term and long-term marketing plan in place just like any other type of business.

Our favorite saying at HereNextYear is that “a web site is only 10% of what’s available on the Internet to promote your business and search engines are only another 10%.” Business owners (including your competition) are now interested in understanding the many online techniques and utilities available. Not so much so that they can go do all the work, but to give better direction to the Internet promotion providers they’ve contracted.

3) Business owners are learning that success online occurs over time. You hear about people making their millions in a week selling an e-book. Or MySpace that suddenly became an overnight sensation with a gazillion visitors a day.

A real business led with passion has the intent and desire to service its customers over the long-term…for a period of years. More business owners are coming to understand that there is a building process to go through online. And “getting rich quick” isn’t part of that equation.

The point is that if you want to start a web site that earns its keep, you’re going to have to follow a process to make it happen.

Step 1) Decide how involved you really want to be - Do you want to be an advisor to your designer or will you be getting your hands dirty too by maintaining content to the site?

Step 2) Determine how much you are willing to spend - Find a designer or developer that you can trust to walk you through a free consultation to help you arrive at a number to budget. Do NOT attempt to set a budget for your own project if you’ve never been through the web site process before.

Step 3) Choose the right developer - During the consultation process, you might find that your project is not a good fit for their skill set. Make sure that you choose a company that is excited about your project and interested in your industry.

Step 4) Build a web site for your potential customers and not for you - This is the hardest part of starting a web site for the first time. You must know what your visitors expect to see when they get to your web site and provide that to them. Anything more or less will be either a distraction from the sales process or a deterrent.

Step 5) Inspire your visitors to Take Action! - Every page of your web site should be designed to get your visitors to do something next. Offer a phone number or instruction to “visit this page next” or a Buy Now! button. Never leave your visitors hanging and wondering what to do next.

Bonus Step: Stay in Control of Your Project.

The major shortcoming of the Internet is that service providers such as designers and programmers are not taught even basic concepts like those outlined above.

As a business owner, success story after success story has proven that you don’t need to go to design or programming school to make a million dollars online. But you do need to know enough about the process that you can tactfully and confidently instruct your helpers as to what to do first and next.

What to Do Next:

In summary, we’d like to encourage you to take what we’ve talked about in this free informative content page and apply its suggestions in planning for your first web site at no cost to you! That’s fine. It’s our gift to you in hopes that you will have great results in getting your message, products and services to the people who need it most.

Then there will be the readers who are not only inspired, but completely DRIVEN to make a real change in their online efforts.

A Final Thought…

Starting your first web site can be one of the most exhilarating, challenging and rewarding tasks you will perform this year. It’s also much like building a house with a foundation and a division of rooms which require planning and investment of time to do the job right. Please don’t cut too many corners.

Like a house, a web site with a poorly laid foundation or cheap piping can cost you more in the long run. Remember that when your web site is successful and meeting all of your expectations, the last thing you’ll be thinking about is how much you paid someone to help you through the process.

Earn Cash Online By Submitting Articles For Free

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 11:08 am

by LaMarl
We all have heard the term “It Takes Money To Make Money.” The way that the world is systematically run it really appears that the statement is true in all situations. I remember when I was unemployed years ago, I realized that I was spending the little money that I had left in transportation and supplies for resumes, anything that was left went to my lunch while beating the pavement in the city. No matter how hard I tried to get around that statement somehow it kept coming back to attack me. When I embarked into the Internet Marketing arena my goal was to find a way to market on a ZERO budget and still Earn Cash Online. I tried and tried and could not find a way that could bring me real cash. After months of searching, in walks the “Bum Marketing Method” or the politically correct term Article Marketing Method.

Bum Marketing is a sure fire way to market products without having a budget, a website, a squeeze page, or other great internet marketing amenities that you can think of. This is what I would call the Little Man’s Method with the Big Boy payout. Even the Big Boys in the business find themselves using this method to drive traffic to their website or to push and sell products that they stand behind. The great thing about Bum Marketing to Earn Cash Online is that you don’t even have to be a great writer. Its more about article quantity that article quality. I will explain this a little later. Now don’t get me wrong there is always a method to the madness, but you don’t have to be a professional writer or ad copy producer in order to give people what they are looking for.

Now that you have an idea of what Bum Marketing is and that it is a sure fire way to Earn Money Online lets talk about the HOW in this method.
The first thing you want to consider when using this method to Earn Money Online is “Product.” What is it that I plan on writing about? Not only that but do I believe in or stand behind the product or resource that I am about to promote. This is essential because the more you believe in something the more passionate you will be in your writing. The passionate your are the more likely people will begin to engage in your article. Its horrible to read an article written by someone who has now faith in his own words. My kids have this thing they do when someone is just talking to be talking…Blah Blah Blah…I used to wonder why they did that and then one day it hit me. The person is just talking “but they aint sayin nothin.” I know that’s bad English but I’m sure you get my point a lot better. That’s common among bloggers and article writers. So what ever you do believe in your product.

Once you have your product, your next step is to come up with a keyword. Keywords are critical to your success in any kind of Internet Marketing. How can you expect to Earn Cash Online if search engines cant find you. Mastering keywords or phrases is the key to your success. Lets use this article as a example. From the time you started reading this article until the time you reached this point there is a keyword phrase that you have read at least four times. Do you know what it is? I will give you a hint, its also in my title. You give up? Earn Money Online. This makes the fifth time that you have come across this phrase. Google and Yahoo will crawl your title and article to look for information that is relevant to what you said. When it sees certain words or phrases that are in the title and are repeated through out the article you will stand a better chance of your article or webpage being listed at the top of that word search or phrase.

Now last but not least. Once you have determined your product or niche, you have grabbed a keyword, you have written your article the final step is to submit your article for internet publication. If you read any of my articles you will notice that I am big on the word FREE. Why pay a boatload of money to have your article submitted to places when your main goal is just to get in the search engines. Guess what…… I’m about to let the cat out the bag and show you the premium free spots to list your article and be seen on Google with 72hrs. Now when you get to the top don’t forget about brother OK.

How To Organize Your Own Internet Marketing Seminar

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 11:08 am

by
If you’ve been focusing solely on the market you could reach online, then you’re missing some big profit.

The World Wide Web can be a very big place, but let’s face it. More people are actually not interested with the Internet compared to the people who are regular web users. You may be servicing a bustling segment of the online market today, but how long would it take before that segment of the market becomes saturated? And even if new people are logging online on a daily basis, you will have to compete with other internet marketers for their valuable attention.

So, how do you increase your market base? How can you ensure a more profitable business for your online enterprise?

One approach which has yet to be fully exploited is organizing local internet marketing seminars. These are workshops, symposiums, conventions and even boot camps that aim to teach people, live and in person, the real possibility of earning a living online, and the fundamental steps that should be taken to ensure the same.

Conducting internet marketing seminars would be very beneficial in so many levels.

• You’d be able to tap into the offline market and bring them online.

• Your audience would find you even more credible, as they won’t have to rely on written words alone. They will see and hear you, live and in the flesh, and this could effectively eliminate the hesitations usually caused by the anonymity provided by the internet.

• You’d be able to build your brand as an expert for being able to organize an event like an internet marketing seminar.

• You’d be able to promote your own products, more effectively at that because you’d be able to tell your audience about it in person.

• You’d be able to build a battalion of committed affiliates since you’ll be able to interact with your prospects.

• You’d be able to build great relationships, which could result in faithful customers as well as future joint venture partners.

Before you start thinking that organizing an internet marketing seminar is a difficult task, think again. With a little planning and solid logistical support, you’ll be able to conduct an event like this quite easily. Here are the steps you should take.

1. Choose a subject you wish to focus on. This subject should be particular enough for discussion. Basic lessons, techniques, tips and overviews are good topics for internet marketing seminars.

2. Try to determine if you could discuss the subject yourself. Be honest. Do you have the requisite public speaking skills for the job? If not, you should invite speakers from the internet marketing industry to discuss the topic before your audience. Some of your speakers would require a profit sharing scheme, others would do it for free for the chance to promote their brands. In any event, it is but proper that you provide for their accommodations and travel expenses.

3. Determine where you want to hold your event. A densely populated locality would be a great option. But the place where most of your mailing list’s subscribers are located would be an excellent option as well, to guarantee you the audience you need.

4. Find a suitable venue in the place where you have decided to hold your seminar. This could be a ballroom of a hotel, a university’s conference hall, or even a convention center if you’re planning to invite more than 500 people. You have to reserve the venue at least 3 months in advance.

5. Prepare the program of your event. If you will have several speakers, make sure that there will be an open forum after each segment to give your audience the chance to ask their questions.

6. Determine if you want to charge an entrance fee for the event. You could choose to earn from the gate receipts, of course. The price would be dependent on your overhead expenses as well as how renowned your speakers are. However, it is also a good idea to offer your seminar for free, especially if your expenses aren’t that big. This way, you’d be able to attract more people to whom you could efficiently promote your products.

7. Market your event as you would a digital product.

The logistical difficulty would depend on the magnitude of the event you will be organizing. For starters, you should keep things small, to help you gain the necessary experience. Once your efforts prove successful, you could start organizing bigger events involving bigger personalities in the online marketing scene.

Internet marketing seminars are excellent marketing options that would leave your audience fully satisfied, and your business fully invigorated with newfound vigor.

Joint Ventures The Easy Way To Increase Your Profits

Friday 31 August 2007 @ 11:08 am

by Neil Gray
In this article I’m going to show you many different ways that you can find joint venture partners, as well as some very specific strategies you can use to get your niche markets top marketers to promote your products and web site.

A joint venture is where you contact a marketer in your niche market that has an email list of subscribers who may have an interest in your product. They can be the lifeblood of your business. Just five decent joint venture partners who promote your ebook to their email list in exchange for a commission can put your current income through into overdrive. Read this newsletter and go out and take action. I assure you your results will be life changing.

Know Your Conversion Rate

The first mistake newbie’s make is they start contacting JV partners left right and centre before they’ve even made a sale of their ebook themselves. This is wrong. Very wrong. You need to be able to contact a potential JV partner and be able to tell them how your sites converting. How can you expect someone to sign up as a JV partner if they can not see your past success.

Site conversion is simple. It’s the amount of visitors to the amount of visitors who buy. So for example if one hundred people visited your site and two bought your conversion is two percent. You want to get at least one thousand visitors before you know your conversion.

To work out how your sites converting download the software from www.statcounter.com. The best thing is it won’t cost you a penny. It will up date visits to you site and calculate your conversion for you.

Offer Large Commissions

Once you know how well your sites converting (if no one’s buying don’t even bother contacting marketers. Improve your sales letter, change your headline, whatever it takes) you can start contacting JV partners. Offer them more than your regular affiliates. Offer your affiliates fifty percent and your JV partners seventy five percent.

You may be thinking “wait a sec those commissions are huge? I won’t make any money myself”. This is where so many go wrong. If people are sending you tons of visitors you can build your email list and offer them other products in email promotions, and you can also make money selling back end products. Remember that old saying “speculate to accumulate”.

Return the Favour

Offering high commissions is not enough. Let them know that you’ll add a message into your auto responder set up so that you’ll market their products via an affiliate link in your back end. Explain that you’ll be setting up joint ventures with other marketers in the niche so that they’ll get visitors to their site without spending a dime. This is very powerful.

Using Clickbank

Please, please understand one thing. If you’re selling an ebook on fitness don’t start contacting marketers who sell gardening products. That’s just ridiculous. You need marketers who sell products in your niche as they will have an email list of people who may have an interest in your book and these are the only marketers you should contact.

With that in mind start at www.clickbank.com. Click on “promote products” on the home page and then search the marketplace for products in your niche. Try setting up a JV by contacting the product owners.

Google “Ezine” Trick

This is a superb way to find marketers with ready made email lists they can send a promotion to and sell tons of copies of your ebook virtually overnight.

Go to google and type in “(niche) ezine”. So for example if you were selling a bass fishing related ebook you’d type in “bass fishing ezine”. What you’ll get is a huge list of results of web sites in which people have a bass fishing email newsletter (or ezine). Obviously they won’t all have one, often you’ll get millions of results, but you can spend a few hours going through the results and get more JV contacts than you could ever hope for!

Google “Allintitle” Trick

Here’s another cracker. If you could find web sites that have your niche market keyword in their domain name there might be great potential JV partners? Of course! Go to google and type in “allintitle: (niche)” So for example if you were selling an ebook on song writing you’d type “allintitle: song writing” into google. Go through the results contacting marketers and setting up hugely profitable joint ventures.

Leverage Results

Once you set up one profitable JV use the results to start setting up even more joint ventures. One joint venture will boost your conversion and your future contacts will be far more impressive. You can say things like “Joe bloggs from domain name.com made X amount of sales and earned X amount from just one mailing to his list”. This really is powerful because it shows people that you know what you’re doing.

Now go and take action. You really can set up joint ventures with any niche markets top guns if you go and actually do it. Do it today! Good luck!
