Stumbletweets.com the newest way to Stumble Tweets on Twitter

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:36:00 +0000

Be sure to follow me on Twitter @SSINVESTOR to find out more about how I use Twitter.

The other day I wrote a post about a different Twitter marketing idea where you can help automate your Twitter process via the Twitter Hummingbird Review. Here is another cool and interesting way to leverage Twitter and help automate the sharing of cool and relevant information. StumbleTweets.com is the StumbleUpon for Twitter, tapping the Twitter API information to find tweets with links in whatever category you so desire.

Back in the day I used to love using the StumbleUpon toolbar to kill time at work and bounce around the web. With StumbleUpon, people submit articles for others to vote on whether or not they like what they see. Voting on StumbleUpon is done by giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down. The articles with the most thumbs-up votes will get more traffic from StumbleUpon.

As for StumbleTweets.com, you can use it to find tweets that apply to you and not just some random web pages. If you are into marketing like myself and you search marketing on StumbleTweets you will be shown tweets with links that have marketing in them. Then you are finding and re-tweeting (RT) tweets related to your niche or likes and are able to one-click and share those with your followers.

You can save a ton of time by using StumbleTweets’ one-click Follow and one-click RT features. Chances are if someone tweeted about a marketing topic or post he or she might be interested in the same thing as you. With one click you can follow the person who tweeted the post to begin with along with RTing the post again to your own followers. Again, you are saving time and managing all of these actions from the same spot.

Search really specific things to RT to others. Want to just find some twitpics related to marketing? Or funny Craigslist ads? You name it, if it has a link the chances are great you can find it and RT it.

If you are into saving time and RTing cool and interesting things to your followers, StumbleTweets is here for you. Try it out and if you don’t love it in a matter of minutes you get a full refund

Twitter Marketing Ideas a Hummingbird Review

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:41:00 +0000

Update: There is now a 15% Discount Code “RECESSION” good until 7-31-09

Notice: This is a review of Hummingbird and is not intended to advocate any misuse of the program contrary to Twitter’s terms and agreement. This post also contains an affiliate link. So please, in your quest to make money, don’t forget where you heard about the program to begin with. On to the post…

Twitter is here to stay and becoming ever more important as a marketing tool. Twitter marketing isn’t anything new, but tools are propelling Twitter use to higher and higher levels. This post isn’t about how you should interact with Twitter members but rather how to get hundreds or thousands of followers.

The biggest goal of Twitter marketing is to get as many Twitter followers as possible in order to leverage those followers in conversation and conversion. A software called Hummingbird by Mesiab Lab’s is the best way I’ve found to manage my Twitter accounts. By using Hummingbird, I acquire the most followers without getting my Twitter account banned.

Hummingbird is a huge (HUGE) time saver and well worth the investment. The primary reason I started looking into programs like Hummingbird was due to the amount of time I was spending managing my Twitter accounts (be sure to follow me @SSINVESTOR). Hummingbird has saved me hours and hours.

Here is a promo video (click to watch):

Hummingbird Review

Adding and managing multiple accounts

Hummingbird allows you to manage several Twitter accounts together. Adding in multiple accounts has never been easier. After your accounts have been added into Hummingbird, you can easily select which account you would like to work with by choosing from a drop down menu.

Following like-minded members

When I use Hummingbird to follow people on Twitter, I look for others who are like my target niche or myself. When I find a person with similar followers I have the option of selecting either his or her followers or the members he or she is following. Next I click the Follow All button and Hummingbird begins to follow every single person in those lists, including automatically forwarding to the next page and repeating the process. My guess is that you can automatically follow 1,000 Twitter members in 30-45 minutes.

Automatically unfollow Twitter members

Hummingbird has a great feature that allows you to easily unfollow all of those who either quit following you or never followed you back.

After I have waited 48-72 hours for people to follow me back after a Hummingbird follow run, I use the automatic Unfollow All feature to remove those who didn’t add me back. I wait a few days in order to give people time to see that I attempted to follow them and give them a chance to return the favor. I take into account that a lot of people only use Twitter at work and might be home during the weekend or on vacation.

Then I click on my own Following link through Hummingbird and select the Unfollow All button. This button works exactly the same as the Follow All button, just in reverse. Hummingbird then goes through your Following list and unfollows all of those who either quit following you or never followed you back. If you have ever done this process manually it can take an eternity. Hummingbird takes care of this process for you while you sit back and watch the magic or work on something else.

Hummingbird’s built-in safety features

In order to not get your Twitter account banned or marked as spam, you should never hit the same people twice. Hummingbird remembers who you have followed and unfollowed in order to skip those members if you attempt to follow or unfollow again. This way you only ever follow or unfollow a person once unless you manually do it. You will see that these people show up as red, and the program automatically skips over them. (seen in the pic above)

Don’t worry about hitting your follow limit for your Twitter account. Hummingbird will not allow you to follow more than Twitter will allow. After you hit your maximum number of followers for that account, Hummingbird goes through the motions without adding to your following number.

Hummingbird’s VIP list

A lot of times you may want to follow a member because you like that person or he or she is really popular or whatever. You can add members to your account’s VIP list so Hummingbird won’t unfollow them even if they aren’t following you back. Depending on what your goal or target market is for your Twitter account, you may want to use this feature. I personally don’t use it much, but it is handy.

Hummingbird’s built-in Twitter search feature

The most impactful part of the Hummingbird software is the Twitter Search function. With the Search function you can drill down and get the most targeted search possible for your niche. After you have done a search, you can click a button to automatically follow all the people in that search result. You can even leave the program running so that it will continue to automatically follow new people as they meet that specified search. You are able to set up the most targeted Twitter search possible, then automatically follow those people while you sleep :).

I looked into programs like Hummingbird because of all the time I was wasting by managing my Twitter accounts. I ponied up the $200 for Hummingbird and haven’t looked back. I have easily saved that much in waited time. So no matter if you use my affiliate link or not, I have come out on top. I can now manage 4x as many Twitter accounts in 1/10th the time.

Hummingbird does offer an affiliate program that does pay out handsomely (approx $60 a sell). This explains the high cost of the program, but it only takes 3 sales to recover your initial investment into the program. I have already made my money back on the program and there is plenty of room to sell Hummingbird to other new and existing Twitter members. By using Hummingbird and pimping its affiliate program you can save time, but also make a profit.

Best of luck to killing it on Twitter and to your future Twitter marketing ideas. Also be sure to follow me at @SSINVESTOR

Is Viral Article Marketing an Effective Traffic Generator?

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:29:00 +0000

Does Viral Article Marketing Work For Every Niche?

With all the information and programs out on the internet speaking the praises of Viral Article Marketing, I wanted to share my insights and thoughts on the subject.

First things first. You have an unique position to assess how article marketing can help your niche and your business. You are the best person to make this call. You know what is working and not working in your niche. You know what people are looking for.. their unfulfilled needs. You know the problems that need solutions in your niche.

Therefore, you have to be the judge of whether viral article marketing is effective in your niche but this article makes a case for it. Viral article marketing is a term that’s used when your article spreads from reader to reader like a cold virus without additional work on your part.

The power of Web 2.0 is the interactivity where your visitors can do one or more of the following... and each of these actions helps you passively expand your reach:

* Leave comments.

* Rate the content.

* Email the content to a friend.

* Find related content without searching for it.

* Directly contact the creator of the content.

* Discuss the content with other viewers.

* The ability to easily add to one or more social bookmark sites.

* Submit to RSS Feeds aggregates.

You can add many of these elements to blogs and sites created with content management systems by adding plugins or modules but adding them to static web pages requires additional uploading and other non automated work. This may or may not be work you are qualified or are interested in doing.

The easiest way to take advantage of viral article marketing when you don’t have your own blog or website is by using article directories to display the articles you write. Article directories are great platforms for webmasters wishing to take advantage of viral article marketing as well.

A well written article on a popular topic might be picked up by dozens if not hundreds of webmasters looking for fresh content for their sites that they did not have to write. This can be a very good thing for you the budding author.

Each of these websites will also be displaying YOUR resource box which has one or more links back to your website. If you’ve written your resource box correctly, you will have links to 2 or 3 different pages within your website under keyword rich anchor text that you have chosen. This means you will get "one way links" back to your site with relevant key words. These links are affirmative votes for your site in the eyes of the search engine AND they are also passive traffic generators for you.

Only your site web stats can tell you whether your viral article marketing efforts are effective but I can tell you from my stats that I’m regularly enjoying passive traffic from almost every article I’ve written and this includes articles written a year ago. This is an outstanding way to build up the value of your personal Virtual Real Estate and is one of the best, sure fire methods of getting and keeping a flow of high quality prospects to your site.

Make Twice The Commission With 2-Tier Affiliate Programs

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:22:00 +0000

Did you know that there are programs that you can join that will pay you commissions on the sales that your sub-affiliates have generated?

Best of all, these programs are free to join, simple to set up and can provide multiple earnings in the near future. You can market your affiliate program on your website, blog, forum, email newsletters and more.

2-tier affiliate programs

Welcome to the world of two-tier programs, other wise known as sub-affiliate commissions, 2-tier affiliate programs, residual commission programs and a host of other names.

A two-tier affiliate program is program that offers 2 types of commissions. The first allows you to earn income on the sales of the product or service, and the second, allows you to earn income on referring someone new to the program.

Some programs will pay a flat fee for the referral, such as $1 to $5 per valid lead, while many offer a percentage of the 2nd tier affiliate, or sub-affiliate, earnings.

Simple Example:

Lets do a simple 2-tier commission example:

Here is the scenario: Company ABC Inc. offers a 30% commission on the sale of any of their products AND also offer a 5% 2-tier affiliate commission.

During the course of the month you have generated 3 sales at $100.00 and you have 3 sub-affiliates underneath you that have generated 1, 2 and 8 sales respectively. Your income for the month they is:

Sales: 3 sales x $100.00 = $300.00
Your commission rate is 30%
Commission income: 3 x $30.00 for a total of $90.00
Your sub-affiliate #1 generates 1 sale @ $100.00, your commission is $5.00 ( 5% of $100.00)
Your sub-affiliate #2 makes 2 sales @ $100.00, where your commission is $10.00 on this affiliate publisher ( 5% of $200.00)
Your sub-affiliate #3 produces 8 sales @ $100.00, for your commission of $40.00 ( 5% of $800.00)

Your total commissions are $90.00, your total sub-affiliate income is $55.00
For a net income total of $145.00.

In actuality, you generated 3 sales but still earned $145.00. Should you have more sub-affiliates signed up underneath your program, you would stand to earn more as long as they are performing.

Where to find 2-tier affiliate programs?

Within the AM411 Affiliate Marketing Directory (http://www.am411.com/) are links to the most profitable high payout 2-tier affiliate programs we have found on the Internet. These free to join affiliate programs provide high commissions for direct sales, leads or clicks. Many popular and highly successful industries offer sub-affiliate commissioning; telecom, online and internet services, web hosting, credit card services and more.

5 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Sales

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 09:32:00 +0000

There are certain ways of doing anything. When it comes to affiliate marketing in particular, you can choose to do it half-heartedly or you can go all-out and do it right. Work your affiliate programs by slamming a ton of banners on a page and waiting for the money to roll in is both a waste of your time and a disservice to the affiliate program owner you're working for. You may as well not even do it.

Work your affiliate programs like they actually mean something to you and your business; with all your knowledge and effort, and you're going to be on the road to collecting a good deal of commissions. Just like anything, there are ways of doing things that are going to prove to your web site or blog visitors that you are an expert at what you're taking about. Use your expertise about the product you're promoting and speak to them as a friend. After all, PRE-Selling a product is nothing more than being able to articulate how wonderful something is to someone else, as one trusted friend to another. It's not a hard thing to learn, but is a skill you must master that is not being taught as widely as it needs to be. People want to be able to trust others. Cynicism runs rampant in the Internet marketing world. There are far too many scammers out there making us good guys look bad. You primary job is to be that one voice crying out in the wilderness that changes that cynicism to trust. It's about being real and not a salesman. People can smell a salesman a mile away and they stink.

Here are 5 ways to work your affiliate marketing programs as an expert:

1. PRE-Sell - Find your own voice. Don't write like everyone else. You do not want to come off as just another carbon-copy salesman. You need to convey to your visitors that you care about them (it helps if you do). You need to have a passion to truly help other people. That can be understood in how you write. Sincerity is a trait sorely lacking in Internet marketing. You need to learn the mandatory skill of writing to PRE-Sell. Your job is to PRE-Sell the product and it is the job of the stores' landing pages to close the sale. Tell your visitors of your experiences and share stories. People appreciate being spoken to as an old friend sitting around the dining room table with a cup of coffee. Which lead to....

2. Have Product Experience - Whenever possible, own the product or work with the service you're promoting. This allows you to speak as that expert with first-hand experience. Your passion for that fantastic product will shine through. You want your readers to get as excited as your are about the product. You're not going to want to promote something that isn't any good, no matter how high the commissions, right? Um....right?? This can only come by owner the product yourself. Plus, you'll wind up with something really cool! ;)

3. Follow Your Niche - If you're web site or blog that has to do with cellular phones, don't join and promote an affiliate program for riding lawnmowers. You are not going to get your most wanted response that way, which is the click. Keep your subject matter and your affiliate programs in line with one another.

4. Deep Link - Let's use the cell phone scenario and say that you've got a page or a blog entry about the Apple iPhone and you have an affiliate association with a large on-line cell phone store. When you're figuring out which of their affiliate text links, banners or other creative to use, make sure you are able to deep link to the page or pages about Apple iPhones. You want to put your potential customer where they want to be. Don't just link to the cell phone stores home page. That is like leading them out into the woods and then dumping them. Don't make them search for that Apple iPhone information, lead them directly to it via your deep-linking affiliate link. That way will convert much better for you.

5. Work with The Affiliate Program Owners - They want to sell their products as much as you do. Even more. Don't be afraid to contact them and voice your concerns, opinions and needs. Any affiliate program that is worth promoting will welcome your input. They will want to work with you. You'll be able to tell who is worth working with and who is not. Do they have a large selection of creative to use? Do they offer attractive commission payouts (I tend not to take anything that pays out 2% of a sale or less) and long-term cookies? Do they allow deep linking with a bunch of pages to choose from? Is their affiliate program control center attractive and easy to use? Do they keep you informed via email about upcoming promotions and ways to help you make better conversions? If all that is being done, you should be working with them as best you can. They are obviously putting their best foot forward for you and their customers. If not, drop them and move on. They should always be there to help you in any way they can.

There you have it. Those are a few of the ways to work an affiliate program for all it's worth. If you want the money (a no-brainer), learn all you can, work hard, work smart and don't give up. Your failure or success is entirely dependent on you. Here's to your success!

Affiliate Marketing - It is simple but it is sure not easy

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:12:00 +0000

Introduction

Affiliate marketing has transformed into one of the most popular source of earning online. It appears so simple that everyone feels that anyone can rule such a field. However, it is a misconception. Such misconceptions are generated by sales pitch of an affiliate program. It is an area where most people enter easy but they give up briefly without even receiving the first commission. "Affiliate marketing is simple but it is sure not easy".

Why marketers feel affiliate programs are easy?

The basic logic behind affiliate marketing is very clear. The formulation related to its working, process and earning are very simple. Such simplicity has caused most people think of affiliate marketing as a piece of cake. The marketer fails to understand that this simplicity is not linked to its easiness.

Keys to success in affiliate marketing

To be successful at affiliate marketing, only understanding the concept is not enough. Overflow in case of commissions received is not easy. Association with many affiliates cannot do the job. It demands knowing the proficiencies behind the affiliate and the desire to execute them. To earn serious cash, the marketers are required to combine these proficiencies and desire with the simplicity and efficiency of affiliate programs. It is always better to recognize the proficiencies of the affiliate program. This helps in promotion of the product.

Simultaneously, it allows knowing the target consumer of the product. The strategy to promote the product to such consumer can then be formulated. The desire in the marketer to promote his affiliate never allows him to get tired of working hard. Hard work always pays off whatever the field may be. In case of affiliate marketing, it is seen in the daily rise in commission earned.

Affiliate marketing is not easy. However, it is not too hard. Affiliate marketing demand proficiencies combined with smart strategies. Such smart action can turn a simple affiliate program into strong earner. Nevertheless, you must always remember that smart work is always better than hard work.

How To Approach Affiliate Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 05:59:00 +0000

How should you approach affiliate marketing to give yourself the biggest chances of success? Is it possible to make big money as an affiliate marketer? If so, is it difficult?

Well, many people make it difficult by choice. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

As in any business, it's very important to have a solid business plan. Create and execute a detailed plan can be the difference between a growing bank account and a failure.

It has no matter if you're going to promote a service or a product. You must be 100% certain, that the company are able to deliver as promised. It has to be a prior issue for the company, to satisfy your customers. You must be convinced that the company will support you in any way to achieve affiliate marketing success.

A major part of your research and evaluation of companies and products, must be for you to try the products or services for yourself. You have to rate them objective.

Would it be possible for you to recommend them to your friends and family? Be honest, would you recommend them just as a favor? You can't successfully promote anything of poor quality.

The next important step in your investigation, is to find out the success rate of the company. You need to get information from affiliate marketers that already are associated with the company. Did they get all the necessary support? This is essential, if you cant get full support from the company, you'll have a steep hill to climb.

Affiliate marketing is a business where you have to connect with your visitors. Therefore you must develop your writing skills. You have to get your visitors to trust you. Once they trust you, they will follow your recommendations.

This is what successful affiliate marketing is about, You recommend a product or a service, which you have tested and evaluated. You convince the visitor that he need the product or service, he click at your affiliate link, then the merchant do the actual selling.

So, now you're set up to get going with your new affiliate marketing career? Well, it would be wise to give yourself some more preparation. Read everything there is to read about the company. Learn everything about the products or services.

Get some books and courses how to start your own business.

Affiliate marketing is a serious business. You have to treat it just as a traditional business. That is, if you really want to succeed and make a serious income from your business.

Low Budget Affiliate Marketing

You want to start an online business, but don't have your own product to sell. But you do have the option of starting with affiliate marketing - selling other peoples' products for a commission. Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money. In just the last few years, affiliate marketing has become a very powerful force in ecommerce. Everyday, thousands, if not millions, of merchants rely on affiliate marketing to drive their businesses.

So, is online affiliate marketing right for you? Well, you will never know unless you take the necessary steps. If you don't try, then you cannot expect to succeed. Make today the day that you commit to changing the direction of your life. However, like any other business, whether it's online or off line, affiliate marketing cannot guarantee you success unless you work at it.

As with any business start up, and affiliate marketing is no excpetion, you will need to spend some money on the basics to get you started. However, through proper budgeting, your initial outlay can be reduced. So, you need to decide how much money you can afford to invest in your affiliate marketing business. There are some expenses that you will have if you want to be successful and there are others that you can put off until the time that you start earning income from your affiliate products. Some items that you will need to budget for are:

Domain Name. The domain name should relate to the subject and keep your domain name simple and easy to remember. There is quite a span between the low-cost and the high-end cost of domain names. If you shop around, you may even be able to find something less expensive. But make sure it's a well-established company! You don't want to lose your domain name once you have decided on it! You will likely get a better deal if you register your domain name for two or more years in advance. Namecheap.com and Godaddy.com are both excellent domain providers.

Website Hosting. Web hosting fees will vary dramatically between hosting providers. Set up a comparison chart and write down each company you are considering. Some companies offer rates as low as $2 a month, while others charge over $100. The highest rates don't always translate into the best service. Some of the lower-priced hosts offer a reliable, stable environment that allows your website to be accessed around the clock for years. Hostgator.com provide quality hosting at reasonable prices. Shop carefully and if possible avoid free hosting which can be unreliable.

Merchant Account. You dont have to invest thousands of dollars to open a merchant account. Find a merchant account vendor through a local financial institution, like a bank, and discuss the possibilities that will best suit your business and your customers. A merchant account will let you start accepting credit card payments for customer purchases, which will enhance the shopping experience for most customers and earn your company a progressive reputation. Never assume you will have extravagant monthly charges when you open a merchant account. Shop around, ask questions, and compare costs to get the best low cost merchant account available for your business. Your customers will thank you with repeat and additional business.

Software. You will need to track your expenses and income from your affiliate business and the simplist way is to use Miscrosoft Excel or similar program. Seeing your expenses for the whole year is a great way to keep them under control. What is the final total? Does that seem extreme? Remember, this is for an entire year. Keep it in perspective. If you intend to have a real business, you must treat it as a real business.

Advertising. The best marketing tip you will ever hear is to advertise your product or business. In today's market, anyone in business knows that advertising is the backbone to their success. Even with the greatest product on the planet, a product that you know everyone needs and wants, without advertising, it's just an idea going nowhere. Make sure you check out the best ways to advertise your business. It can be a fun, profitable, and easy experience with the right tools.

Education. Ongoing education is going to be extremely important to your affiliate marketing success. You will not have to purchase a lot of educational materials if you don't want to. There are many free resources, such as newsletters, that you can study. Sign up for a few newsletters and use the information to gain experience.

Affiliate marketing can be a a great way to create a business on the internet but you will need to learn and understand the basics before you set off on your online adventure. Choose your affiliate programs carefully and make sure that you get the support and backup from the affiliate program.

READ THIS: If you are truly serious about the business promotion internet affiliate marketing online.

Online affiliate marketing is one of the most effective, cheapest and fastest ways to promote merchandise. With millions of people getting access to the Internet everyday, theres a great real home based business opportunity for a merchant to introduce his products and services to a wider market, thereby, maximizing his revenue.

Likewise, business promotion internet affiliate marketing online is an excellent way to generate full-time income for a home-based affiliate marketing entrepreneur. For someone who is jaded of going through a grueling eight-hour work routine, business promotion internet affiliate marketing online offers a great real home based business opportunity to earn big without wearing himself outphysically, mentally and emotionally.

In business promotion internet affiliate marketing online, both parties are benefited since as the merchant earns from each item sold, the affiliate marketing entrepreneur likewise earns an affiliate commission.

If you are interested in business promotion internet affiliate marketing online but are finding it hard to look for webmaster affiliates programs, affiliate marketing entrepreneurs or merchants, you can start by checking sites of various affiliate marketing networks. Many webmaster affiliates programs in the Internet are being offered through a webmaster affiliates program network, which acts as a link between the merchants and individual affiliate marketing entrepreneurs.

Among the most popular is LinkShare, it is through it that merchants and affiliate marketing entrepreneurs meet. LinkShare maintains and manages affiliate marketing programs for a great number of merchants with various kinds of businesses, products and services. It also has over 6,000 affiliate site members in its affiliate marketing network. It gains profit from the set-up fees, monthly account maintenance fees and affiliate commissions.

Joining networks like LinkShare can be of great help in establishing your online home based affiliate marketing business. Whether you are a merchant or an affiliate marketing entrepreneur, you need to research well on your partners in order to choose the best for you.

LinkShare provides the facility of acquiring access to a large affiliate marketing network of advertisers (merchants) who offer their web affiliate programs to publishers (affiliates) who are willing to promote their products. In the same manner, it gives the merchants access to a large affiliate marketing network of affiliate marketing entrepreneurs who are searching for business promotion internet affiliate marketing online & high income business opportunities.

LinkShare is especially beneficial for an affiliate marketing entrepreneur in choosing his partners since he can find his options all in one location. It would be easier for him to compare products, affiliate commission rates and other benefits given by the merchant. The merchant usually just waits for interested affiliate marketing entrepreneurs to sign up in his affiliate marketing program but being in the network increases his real home based business opportunity to promote his products to a larger market, thus, maximizing his potential to gain huge profit.

To help you decide whether to use large affiliate networks such as LinkShare or not, let us try to look deeper into its positive and negative sides. The primary advantage of LinkShare to you as an affiliate marketing entrepreneur is convenience.

As earlier mentioned, you find different pieces of information about your choices simultaneously all in a single location, so you save time and effort looking for web affiliate programs or merchants.

Its also easier to track your business partners performance through monthly reports and statements, as well as its sales and affiliate commission rates, so you know whether the affiliate program is still worth continuing.

So, whats on the negative side? Although, it is indeed helpful to join business promotion internet affiliate marketing online networks such as LinkShare, there are some disadvantages, too.

For one, merchants offer lower affiliate commissions to affiliate marketing entrepreneurs who partner with them through the third party program network. This because they still have to pay for the use of service and the technology provided by LinkShare.

Direct partnership with the merchant cuts costs of advertising through the affiliate marketing network and so the affiliate has bigger potential to earn more. Moreover, it is possible that your payment may be delayed for a month or more since program networks would pay you only after the advertiser or the merchant has paid them.

Do you need to use LinkShare or other networks? It depends, actually. You can opt for direct partnership with the merchant, but this choice is not applicable all the time. There are a lot of merchandisers who offer their affiliate program only through affiliate program networks and thus, you have no choice other than joining the network to get into the affiliate marketing program.

So you are faced with take it or leave it" situation. But LinkShare and other program networks are not that disadvantageous. After all, whether you join it or not, earning big would depend more on your promotional strategies and persistence.

Finally, LinkShare affiliate marketing network is another place for starting promoting web affiliate programs and earning money in a minute. Personally, there are a lot of quality webmaster affiliates programs waiting for you to tap-in.

How To Turn 12 Streams Of Income Into A Torrent Of Money

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:33:00 +0000

By Dominic Beaudoin

One day when I was about 7 years old, my mother and I were at a store and I saw a toy that I “had” to have. I asked my mom to buy it for me. She said: « Dominic, we can’t afford to buy that, money doesn’t grow on trees you know. » My mother was a widow with two children and was not rich. We had enough to get by, but anything more was usually out of reach.

I daydreamed about how much fun I could have if I had such a tree. I saw myself picking a few twenty dollar bills from that tree, with a big smile on my face thinking of all the cool stuff I was going to buy with it. About twenty years later, I am amazed that such a tree actually does exist: the multiplis streamae incomum.

Plant a tree, reap the rewards

What first caught my attention in multiple streams of income is the possibility of having many different automated or semi-automated income generating systems. It seemed like a great way to make a living. The internet brought this possibility to anyone who has a little bit of knowledge about the way the web works.

There are many advantages to this approach:

1. Security

If you lose one of your “jobs”, you can count on your other ones to keep you going. Something catastrophic would have to happen for you to lose all your sources of income.

2. Low cost

Many streams of income can be set up at little or no cost. All you really have to spend is a bit of your time, more initially, then less and less afterwards to keep your system oiled up and running. You might want to pay for advertising, but then again, there are many great ways to advertise for free.

3. Frees up a lot of your time

Once you have put an initial investment in time (and sometimes a small investment of money), you can let your system, your automated machines, do most of the work for you and start piling your money. While it’s true that many will seem to generate only small amounts of money at a time, they will all add up to a substantial amount fairly quickly. Once your machines are set up and running, you’ll have more time to do the things you really want to do and best of all, since most of your money will be coming from automated sources, you will earn money even while you sleep or when you are on vacation!

I love the idea of passive income; income that does not require your direct involvement. You’ll want to put your streams on auto-pilot as much as possible.

Be ready to fail many times

Brian Tracy said that «The best way to have good ideas, is to have lots of ideas.» The same thing applies to your streams of income. Set up a few streams, keep those that bring you money, and toss those that don’t. It’s as simple as that. By knowing from the start that some of your streams will not work, you won’t be as disappointed and it will be easier for you to keep your focus and your drive. Don’t be scared of failure. Fail a lot! Try as many different ideas as you can, especially if there is no up-front cost to you. This way you will have the best chance of succeeding.

Stay focused

Try not to do everything at once. Start small. Focus on one stream until is has a life of its own, then move on to another idea. Don’t try to make it perfect from the start either. It always seems to be easier to improve something that has already been set up, once you have seen it running for a while.

A dozen ideas to use as streams of income

1) Investing

If you have a job which brings a bit more than what you need for necessities, put aside 3 bucks every day and put it into a savings account. At the end of one year you’ll have $1095 plus interests. With the help of compound interests, you can even stop putting money into your account after a while and it will keep making money for you over time. You will be making interests on interests.

You can also make other kinds of investments that may bring you more return on your investment. Be aware though, that the higher the possibility for return, the higher the risks. More secure, less return. You may be interested in bonds, stocks, realty, buying a business, etc.

2) Affiliate Programs

The great thing about affiliate programs is that you can sell products without needing to keep an inventory, do invoicing… All you do is promote your referral link, and get paid a certain amount on every purchase made through that link.

A good source of affiliate programs can be found through Clickbank or Commission Junction. You can also do a web search for “affiliate program” and you will find many, many opportunities, in many different niche markets.

3) Online Auctions

If you have your own product, or maybe you have items in your house which you no longer use but that may still be of value to other people, online auctions can be a great tool. Ebay is probably the most widely used online auction site, but there are others you may want to consider.

Some people have made quite a bit of money by starting their own “Ebay business”. They buy good stuff that they find in garage sales or “offline” auctions, or they buy in bulk and sell at a profit. You can even set up an easy-to-use online store on Ebay or Yahoo. I suggest getting the book “Starting an Ebay Business For Dummies” by Marsha Collier if you are interesting of going in that direction.

4) Sell your own product

You may want to write an eBook and sell it on your website, on Ebay, or on eBook libraries. If you manufacture or craft your own products, a website is definitely the way to go. You might also use a pre-made online store on Ebay, Yahoo!Shops or one of the many others.

5) Paid surveys

Most survey sites pay you 2-3 bucks for a completed survey, but some pay up to $50 or even $100 for a single survey that may take you 30-60 minutes to complete.

Since most survey sites will only send you a few surveys per month, registering to as many survey sites as you can will increase your likelihood of you taking enough surveys to be worth your time, and money.

6) Paid to complete offers, to surf the net

There are some sites like Treasure Trooper, Snap Dollars, Cash Crate, Instant Profitz that pay you to complete offers. You fill in a registration form, a trial membership, download an eBook, request a free sample and you get paid a few cents to a few dollars for every completed offer.

Some sites have more offers than others, and similar offers are often seen on different GPT (get paid to) sites. Most of them will also pay you when you refer people to them which is probably why young people with lots of friends tend to like these kinds of sites.

7) Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

If you like selling, MLM might be for you. Most MLM companies offer you to sell a product and/or a business opportunity. You sell someone a product or range of products(like natural products, vacation packages, web site hosting, etc.), and show them how they can make money the same way you are making yours. Usually you will get paid a share of everything those under you sell.

If you are active to promote “your” business, this might be a profitable endeavor for you to look into.

Start a business

Have an idea for a product or service to sell? Start your own business! It can be a brick and mortar business, but you might want to take advantage of the internet and put your business online.

9) Sell advertising on your web site

If you have a popular web site, selling advertising on your site can bring in some hefty dough. The Adsense PPC (Pay-per-click) network is well-known and widely used. It is also very easy to implement on your site. Yahoo! Publisher Network(YPN) offers a similar system.

10) Accept donations on your site

Your visitors get some great information, tips or free tools on your site… why not give them opportunity to experience giving as well! Setting up a PayPal donate button is an easy thing to do and can be implemented quickly.

11) Sell your old stuff by having a yard sale

Just like online auctions, yard sales can be useful to rid yourself of stuff you no longer need or want. It might not be a stream that will last very long, but it’s a great way to clean up your home!

12) Freebies/giveaways

Ok, not really a “stream” of income, more like a “possible sudden pile” of income, but who doesn’t like free stuff?

Those were just a few simple ideas to get you started.

Having multiple streams of income will keep money pouring into your bank account whether you are at your desk, asleep or on vacation. No longer will you have to work at a dead-end job that you hate, working on someone else’s goals rather than your own. You will have more time to spend with your family and live your life the way you want to.

The most important thing to remember from this article is: get started right away! The sooner you set up an automated system, the faster you will start making money. To the best of your success.

Your Simply Stupid

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 01:12:00 +0000

Look look.. What’s that lunatic up to once again! Suthan is back and is now more ruthless

I was lurking around in a forum and suddenly I stumbled upon a link – Your Simply Stupid – quite an appalling domain! I was sure it would be another weird website with no substance in it and boy! Can I ever be wrong?!?!?

When I clicked the link, I was taken into a horrible, ugly looking website. Not only the website looked pathetic but the sales page was even worse.

However, I tried hard and managed to read the page till the end (it was really difficult tolerating the lingo throughout!!!)

Halfway through, and I still couldn’t understand what’s the goal of the website and I did not want to waste my time any further! I simply navigated out of that webpage.

But you know what’s funny? I found myself going back to that website the next day and to my utter amazement I did something that I never thought I would do…

“I PUSHED THE BUTTON” and even made the payment. Arrrghhh

Oh! Yes.. I submitted myself to that bugger who called me stupid.
I felt humiliated. I felt frustrated. I cursed myself.

I didn’t want to read what I got. I was sure it would be another piece of crap.

But But But…I was proved wrong! (Oh no… not again)

What I got was an absolute eye-opener… and I am truly glad I grabbed the deal.

Yes yes… I know now that I was not that stupid for PUSHING THE BUTTON. ;)

Internet Marketing vs. Old School Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:33:00 +0000

Since entering the Internet marketing arena a few months back I've had a lot of people – both online and off – ask me exactly what I do. I usually respond by saying I'm a marketer, and they usually assume it means I make commercials or write newspaper ads. I can't blame them really; advertising has been the same for a few decades now and only in the past 5 years has the online scene really taken off.

But, it made me think. Why are the things I do now so much different than those of the offline marketers? It's basically the same thing right – sell products to customers through creative avenues. After the "selling things" part though, it becomes something entirely different, a different breed of marketing altogether.

Two Different Worlds

I have no experience and only passing knowledge about the world of old school marketing. I understand the concept of brand marketing and of reaching as many people as possible with as enticing a message as possible. I understand it enough to realize that it doesn't work for the Internet. There are ton of reasons why this is the case, but the simplest is that old school marketing techniques have a bit of freedom. A TV commercial has 30 seconds to play with. A magazine ad will be read repeatedly for years to come. Product placement in a movie gets replayed to millions.

Internet marketing is a whole different animal. Instead of casting a giant net and pulling as many fish that cling to it as possible, Internet marketing spears its customers one at a time. We don't plaster a message and wait. We groom lists of potential customers, place targeted pay per click ads, and write sales letters that tell a specific kind of customer why our product is the best.

Internet Brands Need Internet Marketing Strategies

Just a quick look at the early failure of the Internet companies trying to market in the old school style will show exactly how different the two worlds are. Does anyone remember those super bowl commercials from the late 1990s – the ones for Pets.com and the other mega sites whose stock was worth more than it had any right to be? They blew millions on super bowl spots, marketing to just about every man, woman, and child on the planet and ended up going broke a few months later.

What We Do is Different

The Internet is a medium of the now. You have to know exactly who your customer is, what they want, and why they want it. Then, you need to be there waiting for them when they decide to look for it. Old school marketing does the opposite – it seeks out customers, banging on doors and asking to be let in for a few seconds. It places itself in locations where customers will see it regardless, often ignoring it.

When my family or friends ask me what the difference is between what I am doing and what the ad executives in Los Angeles or New York are doing, I make it simple. I'm talking to the customer while they're talking at the customer.

And that is the main difference really. Online marketing techniques are about the customer and how we can get to know them better, share our product and hopefully affect their day in some way. You can't do that in many other businesses. It wouldn't be cost effective. Thankfully for us, the only way to do business online is to target your customers.

When you can offer targeted ads that interest a potential customer through AdWords or increase your search ranking to match what your perfect customer is searching for, you can place your website and product directly in front of that customer when they decide they are looking for a product. Who else can claim that kind of control over who sees their website and where the advertising money goes in a campaign?

20 SEO Tips to Boost Your Website

noreply@blogger.com (SSinvestor) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:41:00 +0000

Tip #1: Search Engine Friendly URLs

Always use search engine friendly URLs. Be sure to use hyphens and underscores in all your URLs and preferably have the URLs be the keyword that relates to the page. For example if the page is about web hosting, then the URL could be web-hosting or web_hosting.

Tip #2: Keyword Rich Domain Name

This may not be possible in many niche markets for the more popular keywords. Therefore you can focus on creating mini-sites that are keyword based. For example if your site is about web hosting, you can create mini-sites about web hosting but with a lesser known keyword such as "low cost web hosting".

Tip #3: Keyword research

It's important to do thorough research before deciding what keywords you'll focus on when optimizing your website. I've listed below some popular tools you can use

Digital Point Keyword Suggestion Tool

Overture Search Suggestion

Nichebot

Word Tracker

Good Keywords (Free keyword research Software application)

Download Link: http://www.softnik.com/download/gkwv2_setup.exe

Main website link: http://www.goodkeywords.com

Tip #4: IP Address

The sites you deemed most important, ensure they have unique ip addresses for each site. The reason this is important is many sites on a "shared" hosting service share the same ip address. If any of these sites have been banned by the search engines, it could affect your site's ranking or even result in your site being banned as well, since it is sharing the same ip address.

Tip #5: Site Map

Always create a site map for your site and submit the site map using Google's webmaster tools. A site map will allow the search engines to easily find all the pages within your website.

Link: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/

Tip #6: Use Of H1 Tags

It's been shown that using H1 tags, and even H2 tags are good for optimization. Be sure you section your website's headlines in H1 tags. It's important you use CSS to power how the tags are displayed or the tag will be very big by default and could make your page look ugly. Using a css file will enable the tag to blend nicely with your design. Be sure your H1 tags are keyword rich.

Tip #7: Menu Links

For further on site optimization be sure that your menu links are keyword rich. Be creative with your menu text titles and have a few of them be actual keywords that relate to your website.

Tip #8: CSS Div Tags

Whenever possible ensure your site is created with CSS div tags instead of tables, as it will result in the search engine spider being able to reach your body text easier than being buried in table tags.

Review the tutorial below for more details

Link:
http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/dreamweaver/basic-css-tableless/

Tip #9: Limiting Javascript

Try to limit the amount of Javascript used on your page, especially if it's being placed near the top of your website's source code. This will lower the relevance of your site's content, as the first thing the spider will see is Javascript code and not actual textual content, therefore you lose relevancy points since your main content is not loaded first on the page.

Tip #10: Meta Description

Always use meta tag description. Google actually pulls your meta tag description when spidering your website, and so does Yahoo and MSN. So it's very important that you have a well written and keyword rich meta tag description. For best results have your description less than 200 characters.

Tip #11: Meta Keywords

Not all search engines index meta keywords, but it's still a good idea to have a meta keyword tag just in case it's indexed or have some kind of relevance.

Tip #12: Unique Titles

Many scripts by default do not utilize unique titles for each page within the script or website, therefore your site is not optimized well for high rankings. Be sure that when using a script to power your website that you have the option to have a unique Title for each page, a unique meta description, and unique keywords.

Tip #13: Unique Body Content

Do not *ever* repeat the same content on too many pages. If this is done, your pages could be placed in Google's supplemental results database. This is not where you want to be, so therefore ensure that each page within your website does have unique body content.

Tip #14: Link Building

You'll need to start having links pointing to you from relevant and popular websites. Research the websites that are your competitors who have achieved high page rank, and see what sites are linking to them, and if possible contact those websites to see if you can have a link as well. Do a search on Google for a keyword that relates to your website. Review the top ten websites, and input this tag in Google for each of the sites. Type in the search box link:http://www.sitename.com/, replacing sitename.com with the site name you are researching. Review all the back links for that particular site and try to acquire link partnerships with the same sites as your competitors.

Tip #15: Paid Directory Submission

It's important to submit to popular web directories. I would recommend submitting to Yahoo Directory and perhaps Business.com and a few other paid directories such as Uncoverthenet.com and Gimpsy.com. This can help with relevancy points by having established paid directories having a link to your site. The fees for these directories range from $40-$299.

Tip #16: Social Bookmarking Sites

For quick indexing into the search engines, submitting to reddit.com and digg.com maybe a worth while task. It can allow the spiders to quickly visit your site and also result in some traffic. Ensure your article or reports are of good value, and never spam these sites. It's important to maintain a good relationship.

Tip #17: SEO for Firefox

This tool allows you to check PR, age of websites, backlinks, edu links, gov links, page links, technorati backlinks, alexa ranking, dmoz links, yahoo directory links and provides whois information. It's a great plugin tool for firefox.

Link: http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html

Tip #18: Quality Hosting Service

This is just a general rule since you have to have as limited downtime as possible. Always research the hosting companies carefully, since downtime can result in a site that is dropped from the search engines if they try to spider and realize that the site cannot be accessed.

Tip #19: Robots.txt

Ensure you create a robots.txt file to restrict the content that can be indexed by the search engines. This can limit the "duplication" factor that can occur if you have more than one page that is similar.

See more here: http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/robots-generator/

Tip #20: Link Purchasing

I'm listing this last since many people do not like to endorse it. I'm not endorsing it, but I will mention it. You can purchase links on power sites that can help with your page rank which can aid in better rankings *if* you have a well optimized website. You have to ensure the links you purchase are actually from respected sites and preferably within a related field.

What Drives Repeat Visitors to Your Site?

There can be zillions of reasons why your visitors return to your web site. One might be very interested in seeing your animated photo on your main page, but kidding aside I've gathered 12 elements that invites your visitors to repeat their visits.

1. High-Quality Content.

We have all read that "Content is King". We have not set-up our website to just fill-it with endless links of your favorites but we're there to discuss what can we contribute to the web. Fill it with regularly-updated quality content and they'll return asking for more.

2. Ease Of Use.

We have all heard of "user-friendly" computers and softwares. Why not do the same to your web site? Provide a navigation bar that's easy (and fun) to use forgetting the fancy stuff.

3. Quick To Download.

Assume your web site is going to be viewed by the oldest browser, slowest modem and limited number of palettes.

4. Updated Frequently.

You have prepared high-quality content but the problem is you only update it once a year. Set a realistic goal first that at the least you'll bring new content to it once a month and then increase the frequency.

5. Rewards, Contest and Incentives.

Make sure your visitors enjoy a very "rewarding" visit to your site and expect him to return or just remind him to get his prize, reward or a mention of his name in your monthly newsletter. He'll definately return.

6. Favorite Brands.

We all know zdnet.com is the site for free downloads, cnn.com for up-to-the-minute customizable news. I know a site that just updates their visitors on what's happening to over 200 branded ezines and visitors love it.

7. Cutting-edge Technology.

We can't all compete with this category but I'm sure there are lots of software out there to simplify the task. So grab one!

8. Games.

Online game sites are becoming famous nowadays. Visitors too need sometime to play online. Give what they need and they'll ask you for more.

9. Purchasing Capabilities.

Web surfers also shop around and they're looking for convenience on how to do it. Be the first one to do it for them. Add a shopping cart of some sort to your web site and it would be better if you can accept credit cards online.

10. Customizable Content.

Try to create a simple database (Excel of MS Access would do) and connect it on your web site. Every visitor will have its own content and experience.

11. Chat and BBS.

Message Board or interactive forums replaces BBS (bulletin board system) nowadays. Even I have one on my web site (just to make sure) and I'm amazed at the number of visitors from around the globe who post on it. Just make sure you get their email addie so you can reply.

12. Freebies, Jokes and Quotes.

I don't know about this but I've received return visits on this one. I even got a search engine for jokes on my other sites and people return just to read jokes. These same people who spent considerable amount of money reading jokes and quotes will soon ask for a price quote.

You know studies have shown that it takes 4 to 5 visits for a person before he sets his eyes on what you can offer. A simple element (but it's not included on the 12 elements I've mentioned) is just to place a text on your web site (bold letters, not caps) saying "Please bookmark this site" can go a long, long way.
