Posted October 17th, 2008. Filed under Internet Marketing

Are you a novice in the world of online business? Are you deprived of the resources to stand a chance in striking a deal established JV partners?  Don’t have the finances for pay per click campaigns?

No problem!

Here are 5 free but highly potent tactics you can use to advertise your enterprise in the World Wide Web.

1. Marketing with articles. Create an article related to the subject matter of your online enterprise. See to it that this article delivers something noteworthy. Submit the article to the big article banks in the World Wide Web, most importantly Ezine Articles, GoArticles and iSnare. Don’t forget to attach a resource box, which should state read-worthy tidbits about yourself or your enterprise, as well as a link to your website. Accomplish this at least 3 times per week. In a short period of time, you will generate direct traffic consisting of the people who got interested about your articles, as well as indirect traffic courtesy of a higher SERP position for relevant queries achieved with the help of the hundreds backlinks you are most definite to win per article.

2. Link exchange. This is similar to you scratching another’s back, and him returning the favor. Other Internet businessmen are also looking for exposure for their businesses. Hook up with them by guaranteeing to publish their link on your web pages if they will reciprocate your kind deed.

3. Press release distribution. Thousands of offline and virtual world entities are always searching for noteworthy items to republish. They monitor newswires for such works. You can prepare a hype-free, noteworthy news item about your online undertaking. You may state the launch of your venture, minus the hype, naturally. You may announce the launch of your web pages. You may announce the launch of a new product, without any form of a sales pitch. Prepare a press release, and distribute the same to online newswires like PRWeb, and in a matter of hours, real-world and online entities will be picking it up, generating fantastic traffic to your website.

4. Exploit the power of user-driven web tools. The beauty of Web 2.0 websites is that the online denizens themselves are empowered to determine what’s hot and what’s not. You can exploit this to your benefit by specifically targeting social news networks (Digg, Reddit, Propeller), social networking websites (MySpace.com, Facebook), and social bookmarking services (StumbleUpon) and transforming them into vital weaponry for your marketing adventures. Indeed, Web 2.0 websites are free to turn into marketing machines.

5. Search engine optimization. Eight out of ten visitors that you will be able to get for your website will be referred by the search engines. And search engine traffic won’t cost you a single cent, if you can create your web pages to gain the attention of those search engine spiders.

Designing A Super Effective Squeeze Page

Posted October 17th, 2008. Filed under List Building

Squeeze pages, also referred to as lead generator pages, are a very useful tool for any internet marketer.

Squeeze pages are designed with one purpose in mind. Their aim is to get someone to sign up to your email list. Once they’ve signed up, you have their permission to email them over and over again. But you can’t do that until they sign up for your list!

Firstly, pick a template for your lead generation page. You can find landing page templates for free or for a small charge. Or you can have one designed specially for you. If you choose the free option, make sure your target market is well away from such well trodden areas as internet marketing, weight loss and (weird as it may sound) dog training. Otherwise your potential customer will likely have seen something very similar to your squeeze page tens or even hundreds of times before. So they would be more likely to click the back button.

Then change your template. As a minimum, you will need to add in a headline relevant to your offer and some bullet points. You may also want to split-test your headlines to make sure that you’re getting the maximum number of sign-ups. Some marketers have reported that they regularly get 7 out of ten people signing up from the squeeze pages they create.

You can also test other elements on your lead generation page. Most of the time, people report that they get better results when they add audio messages to their squeeze pages. Test this as well as whether the message plays automatically when a visitor reaches your squeeze page.

Nowadays, you will find video appearing more frequently on squeeze pages. Many marketers have found that using a “part one” video on their squeeze page with “part two” only available after sign-up is a very effective technique. If you go down this route, take inspiration from the cliff hangers you used to watch at Saturday morning cinema. If you don’t remember these, think of the ending of an episode of the television show “24″. Leave your viewer hungry for more. Which they’ll get in return for their email address.

You can get your squeeze pages designed at the click of a button with this simple lead page generator.

Knowing What To Sell Can Be The Hardest Part.

Posted October 17th, 2008. Filed under Niche Marketing

The most common tough question I get from people who are new to Internet Marketing is always “How do I get traffic?”

The SECOND tough question is “What should I sell online?”

Good question.

In fact, I get this question all the time and I can understand why. I think it’s the toughest question for any beginning marketer to answer but it’s also the most important question a person could ever ask before they get started.

Choosing the right profitable niche is the most important decision you’ll ever make.

When you start into any business, it’s critical to know that you’re selling a product:

- That people really want
- That people are willing (and able) to pay for
- With enough demand for it
- Where there’s not so much demand that the market is too competitive

But there’s another key component that you cannot do without. And this is where a lot of internet marketers are misled:

- You must have a love for the market that you choose.

In other words, you must sell a product where can put your heart into it because you sincerely believe that it’s the very best solution for your customers.

So ask yourself this question instead:

Do you possess particular knowledge or do you know of a product that will help people…

* Be better at something (sports, hobbies, playing an instrument, training pets etc.)
* Make money
* Save money
* Save energy or effort
* Save time
* Be healthier
* Be more popular…prettier…sexier

If something immediately comes to mind, you may have discovered what you ‘love’ and what could be the ticket to your financial future…

But finding what you ‘love’ is only the first step.

Like I mentioned before, you still have to make sure that your product idea is something that people really want, they’re willing to pay for, where there’s enough demand and without the marketplace being too competitive.

So how do you do that?

The Niche Formula

Recently I’ve been reading Dan Lok’s latest e-book “The Niche Formula” and I’ve been blown away with just how much he’s boiled down the “profitable hidden niche search” to a real science.

This isn’t just some e-book about looking up keywords on the sites everyone already knows about. His methods are advanced and thorough and some might even make you uncomfortable. Some of his tactics are so ‘sneaky’ I found myself shaking my head, wondering, “You can really do that? Is that even legal?”

Of course, he’s got the goods to show for it. Dan Lok has personally made over $5 Million online and his personal coaching clients have made millions more with his instruction. In fact, it was because of the urging from one of his successful clients that he finally agreed to release “The Niche Formula” to the public.

In fact, he’s so confident that by using his methods that you’re guaranteed to have found not one or two, but dozens of red-hot untapped profitable niches, all dealing in a subject matters that you love.

You have the right to know with 100% certainty what you love MUST make you huge profits.

Stop wasting time wondering wafting back and forth, wondering “I wonder if this product will sell to this market” or “I’d really like to pursue the ????? market, but I’m not sure if it will work”.

Have the confidence that you’re using the secret hidden niche-finding formula of an Internet Millionaire. Pick your copy today.
