You must be thinking a graphic like you see above surely is telling you it must be a $997 course or some premium monthly subscription.

Oh noooo…

The Internet Marketing Newsletter is NOT $97 per month.

It’s NOT $47 per month.

It’s NOT $27…or $17 per month.

It’s not even a trial.

It’s not even FREE with a hidden upsell jumping at you like a monster out of a horror theme park joyride.

It’s just free. That’s it. Everything else are optional offers.

The Internet Marketing Newsletter is Armand Morin’s attempt at creating the proverbial journal filled with the latest Internet Marketing trends and news, like what StomperNet is doing now with “The Net Effect”, except it’s free and delivered straight to your inbox as a PDF file.

But this is not something to be cut back cheaply. If it’s a journal you know the news are going to over-deliver in content.

Why not read the first issue for yourself and see if you don’t agree it’s as good as any newsletter that costs $97 per month? After subscribing, I wasn’t forced to pay anything yet.

If you plan to do some Internet marketing to promote your business endeavor, you should seriously consider email marketing as at least one tier of your Internet marketing campaign. Many business owners shy away from email marketing because they believe all email marketing campaigns are purely spam. However, this is not true and not partaking in this type of marketing can cause your business to lose out on a great deal of business.

By not appealing to potential customers via email, your business may lose a great deal of business to competitors who are using email marketing campaigns to reach customers around the world. However, the first step of an email marketing campaign should be creating an email distribution list. This article will discuss some popular options for doing this and should help to the reader to learn more about what is acceptable and what is not when it comes to email marketing.

Once you have made the decision to start using email marketing to promote your business you are likely facing the dilemma of compiling an email distribution list. This is essentially a list of email addresses to which you will email your advertising and promotional materials. One common way to gain a list of email addresses is to purchase a list from distributors. However, this method is not very effective at all and we do not recommend it.

The problem with purchasing an email list if you have no way of knowing whether or not the members of the list would have any interest at all in your products or services. This is very important because while you want to reach a large audience with your email marketing you also want this audience to be members of your overall target audience.

When you purchase an email list you may be sending your email messages to some users who might be interested but this is largely coincidental and is not likely to be well received because the message was not solicited. Internet users are very quick to delete materials they believe to be spam without even opening or reading the emails. In fact some Internet service providers include spam filters which may automatically delete your emails if your messages are deemed to be spam.

These filters run complex algorithms on the subject heading and content of the message to determine whether or not it is spam and are quite adept at weeding out spam. Therefore you run the risk of having your email marketing effort turn out to be a complete waste if the majority of recipients never even read or receive the message.

A far better way to create an email distribution list for your email marketing campaign is to ask current customers as well as interested potential customers to register with your website to receive additional information and periodic updates about your products and services as well as other information which might be of interest to them. This provides you with a database of email addresses from current customers as well as potential customers who have a genuine interest in your products and services and who are interested in learning more about these products and services.

Once you have a list of interested customers or potential customers you can send emails or create e-newsletter for distribution to the members of your email list. These documents should contain a wealth of valuable information as well as a soft sell pitch for your products and services. This information will be valued by the readers and may help to persuade them to try your products and services.

You might also want to include useful links to either your website as well as other websites which may be of interest to your readers. Your content should also contain a portion which urges the reader to take a specific action such as making a purchase or at least investigating a product further.

So where you at with your online business?

2008 is coming to a close and I hope you are on the right track.

If you have been reading the content on my blog and taking action steps to build your business, you are probably going the right direction.

If not, I want to share some good news…and some bad news…with you.

The good news is this…

The Internet opportunity is still strong. In fact, due to the economy, the Internet is stronger than ever.

In fact, never before in the history of mankind has there been a greater opportunity to grow a business with global reach and having such low barriers to entry!

If you are wondering whether or not you can build your business online, I am here to tell you that you can.

But here’s the bad news…

Do you know the feeling you get when you fail to take action on something only to find out later that you made a huge mistake?

“If only I’d bought Microsoft at $3/share”

Hmmm…

The bad news is that the Internet opportunity has a window that will begin closing soon.

If you are think there are a lot of websites out there now, just wait 5 years!

You haven’t seen anything yet.

So, are you going to be one of those that will say “I wish I had” or will you say “I’m glad I did!”

I believe the time is NOW.

If you are still reading this e-mail, you are in a minority of people who really desire to succeed online.

Of that percentage, a smaller percentage will do what it takes to make it happen.

If that’s you, you are in what I call “The Top One Percent“.

And I want to reward you with a free copy of Joel Comm’s monthly newsletter, “The Top One Percent Report”, featuring original insider content created by him and his team just for you!

From traffic strategies and social media trends to list-building and product creation, this newsletter features original information not commonly found elsewhere. It’s only for those who are SERIOUS about building their online business.

It’s totally free and he’s taking all the risk.

Your peers already have the inside scoop. Shouldn’t you?

Become a Top One Percenter and get the system and strategies you need to be able to say “I’m glad I did!”

Blogs have increased popularity over the years. Many people have started to create their personal blogs to express their thoughts and feelings. Internet companies have also started their blogs to inform consumers on the latest product news and reviews.

Because of this, blogs are also being used as a form of Internet Marketing media. Before, Internet Marketing is done by placing banners and links on popular websites, such as news and information sites. Links were also included on newsletters and marketing letters sent to the members of their mailing lists.

Many people spend time reading blogs. People read their friends’ blogs, their favorite authors’ blogs, blogs on topics that they are interested in, and blogs on product reviews. With the increasing popularity of blogging, it is even feared that people rely on blogs to get the latest news.

While getting news reports from blogs isn’t reliable, some people look for product reviews through blogs. In some cases, this is more dependable. While it is true that some media persons are being paid to write good reviews about a certain product, blog writers write about their actual experiences on products and services from a company.

Since there are many people who read and start their own blogs, blogs are a good medium to market a product. Increasing blog traffic means increase in product sales.

Blog traffic can be increased by joining affiliate programs and sites, which will list your blog under a certain search category or name. You can also have your blog advertised in popular websites. This, however, will cost some money and is not advisable if you have just started blogging.

A writer who has just launched his/her blog will want as much traffic as possible to increase advertisements on the site. Also, some advertisers pay every time their link is clicked or the page that has their link is viewed.

When you have increased traffic on your blog, you should try to keep you visitors coming back and recommending your blog to friends and colleagues.

This can be done by having informative or amusing content and good blog layout and design. You may develop your blog’s content or you can also acquire the services of a web content writer to provide you with the blog articles.

The blog’s layout and design also plays a big role. While most of the companies offering free blog hosting offer pre-selected templates, there are also some that allows customization that if you utilize this feature correctly can increase your blog’s traffic.

Here are a few tips to make your blog stand out from the millions of blogs out there that have standard designs.

* Customize the banner

The banner usually has the most generic designs that are common to the blogs from a blogging company or service.

You can personalize this banner by having a graphic with the dimensions of the banner. You can also edit the graphic so that it will also include the title of your blog.

In this case, you can create your own graphic or you can purchase professional looking graphics online for less than $10.

* Personalizing photos

Of course, most of the photos that you will be posting will be your own. However, if you don’t customize the photos before posting them, you may miss maximizing the enhancing benefits graphics can add to the page. Adding photo borders can help the photo stand out from the page.

It can also add to the design of your blog. You can choose a standard border or you can also create your own border which can be associated with your blog’s templates.

* Add a favicon

Don’t you think sites with icons on the address bar before the website’s URL are cool? Many people do. These favicons add a professional look to the URL. Google “how to create a favicon” for help.

* Check out blog templates, layouts, backgrounds, textures and skins from sites

There are sites that offer free blog templates, layouts, backgrounds, textures and skins. You can make use of these so your blog will not look generic like most of the blogs hosted by the service provider. Google something like “(niche category) blog templates” e.g. “laptop accessories blog templates”.

* Include RSS feeds

This is a cool way to inform people with newsreaders about your blog headlines. Tutorials on RSS feeds are available on the Internet.

* Audio makes your blog more personal

Not only does audio personalizes the blog; it can also keep your visitors coming back. You can try having streaming radio stations, MP3 file or playlists loading with your blog.

* Advertisements

If you have signed up with Google AdSense, which I am sure you would like to do, make sure that the ads are conveniently placed in a position that will not hinder your readers’ ease in accessing the information on your blog.

Try using these tips and you can definitely increase and retain traffic on your blog.

What is the little-known secret that top website owners know which gives them an unfair advantage over their competition?

It’s not product creation.

It’s not traffic generation.

And it’s not mastering pay-per-click.

All of these are important, but there is one frequently overlooked action that is likely to cut deeply into your profits.

It`s not rocket science, but because you aren’t doing it, your competitors who are doing this have a strong advantage over you.

What I’m about to share with you will revolutionize your business…and your revenue streams!

And finally, YOU will have the unfair advantage over your competition.

My question to you is: When was the last time you asked your customers what they wanted from you?

It may seem simple, but you’d be amazed how many businesses are not doing this.

And if you consider the ones who ARE doing it, the majority are doing it poorly.

They use e-mail. They use their blog. And many will pay too much for hosted services that charge them on a monthly basis.

Ouch.

Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing web page, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out one’s opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blog’s potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

1. Blogging is simple. The simplest way to get your piece on the net is through blogging. No skills are necessary…an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. It’s like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (who doesn’t?) then you can blog and advertise.

2. Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters’ claims. However, in blogs, real people share their real-life experiences, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product.

3. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for free Web time is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Needless to say, paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business.

4. Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry, your readers come to realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon get in touch with you for advertising on your blog page, or make you an affiliate, which pays for every referral generated from your blog site.

5. Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging:

- By using your e-mail. Today, blogging is overcoming the e-mail’s popularity in quickly and effectively reaching and expanding a market. In this age of speed and quick access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog. Let them explore your blog by using a short e-mail message as teaser to your blog. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature to give a link to the blog.

- By using subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blog. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

- By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview.

-By joining a blog network. A network of blogs maybe a collection of blogs that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers writing about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one.

-By using RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog.

Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

Many studies have proven that radio is a good medium for product advertisements. People listen to the radio for entertainment, usually to listen to the latest music or to their favorite radio program. In between the program, advertisements on products and services are being played.

For many years, this has been the trend in advertising. But now that the radio medium is almost behind the audio-visual medium, the TV, and the Internet, other marketing strategies have to be employed to continue the benefits of advertising through audio.

It is then that the benefits of using music on websites were discovered. Before, music on the Internet was just available in downloadable forms as mp3. Even through hosting downloadable music on their servers, companies were able to get much traffic on their sites. And everyone engaged in Internet marketing knows that website traffic plays a big role in boosting product and service sales.

However, there had been a problem with illegal music download in which artists, musicians and record companies have lost millions of revenues.

Then, came the popularity of Internet music streaming. Unlike the former, radio streaming does not allow download of the music files. Thus, the copyrights of the artists and record label owners are protected.

So, how can this be done? There are several ways to stream audio from your site. First, is to stream a radio program from your site or blog. You can find free affiliate programs that allow you to stream their radio content from your site.

What will this mean to you? This means that your site will have new audio content every time it is visited. What’s even great is that the content is being updated even without much effort from you.

In this case, what you needed to do is to signup with an Internet radio station and have the link embedded on your blog or website.

Another way is to stream mp3s. To do this, you just need to upload your mp3files on a server and add the files’ links to the page. When the link is clicked, the browser opens a media player window and plays a file. However, since the file is in mp3 format, it may also be downloaded. Downloading music files without the authorization of the copyright owner is illegal. Therefore, if you will be using this type of streaming, make sure that you have the appropriate permit to do so.

A third way to add audio to you blog or website is to stream music through organizing playlists. Playlists are m3u files, which if downloaded, will not play music if offline. Using this process, however, can be complex. Here is a short instruction on how to do it.

1. Save your mp3 or wma file on the server. You may skip this step if you know that the file exists on another server and know the link to that file. Make sure that the link has a .mp3 or .wma extension.

2. Open your text editor and type the path to the file. Include the http:// and the file extension. Repeat this step until you have included all the links to the files that you would like to be included in the playlist.

3. Save the playlist with a .m3u extension.

4. Upload the m3u file on the directory where the music files are hosted or to your server.

5. Open your html editor and embed the link to the m3u file. Through this, you can also set if you want to have the playlist to autoplay if someone visits your site of if you want your visitor to control playing the music. You can also set the volume level.

After the code is embedded on the html file, and whenever your site is visited, the songs in the playlist will be buffered, streamed and played one after another. If your playlist has several songs, the user can skip forward or go back a song in the playlist using the media player controls.

Doing this setup works for many website owners. Through this you can customize the type of music being played on your site. You can even play recordings related to your product to boost product awareness.

It requires knowledge of html to be done. But if it will be the best way to increase traffic to your site, why not request assistance from programmers. After all, having audio on a website is a proven way to increase sales.

Owning, running, and maintaining an Internet based business or a website need articles. Plain and simple, everyone who has a site knows this. Even those who don’t have sites but are frequent Internet users know this as well. Articles quench people’s thirst for information. And articles of all possible topics are being searched every minute; your website will benefit if you have plenty of useful write ups – the so called article marketing.

The benefits that articles provide are putting websites at high search engine results rankings for keywords and keyword phrases relevant to the website’s niche. After all, your readers are after with the information you impart to them. You will know when you become an authority in your niche because other website and newsletter publishers will link your website to theirs. And these links will boost your readers’ or costumers’ confidence to your own website.

An effective article marketing strategy is one that increases your websites traffic. That is to say you have to have good contents that your readers will find useful and credible. When this happens, your readers will help you market your website for you; they would recommend your website to everyone else. In return, you get bigger sales. Your product or services would be much easier to sell when they trust you know what you are doing or talking about.

So ok, we have established the importance of articles to a website. But, there is one dilemma though. Not many people like writing articles – let alone have the talent to write.

Many website owners would rather spend their time on something else, and unless you’re a big time company, you don’t have the necessary resources to use on a pool of article writers. Mind you, plagiarism or copying of other articles is frowned upon by search engines. It could easily get you into trouble, worst case scenario; a hefty fine and even jail time.

How would you go about solving this problem then?

Well, for starters if you hate writing articles and you can’t afford to hire people to write for you then don’t. Get free articles. The first place to look at for free articles is the public domain.  Here you won’t have problems with copyright infringement and the following penalties if you get caught for plagiarism. Your article marketing strategy could get off the ground.

Public domain articles are articles freely given to anyone who can find good use of it. You can do whatever you want with it. You can publish it on your website as yours, put it in a newsletter; it’s your decision. Always remember though that you will have to choose articles that are relevant to your website’s niche.

The downside to public domain articles is that since it is free for everybody, many of your competitors may have access to them as well. Since every site needs to be original and unique even though you have the same niche, this could be a predicament. You may also have to edit them a bit to place more keywords and keyword phrases to make them better.

Article submitters are also wiling to publish contents on your website for free. But use this opportunity sparingly. Use this only to augment your site a bit, but don’t leave your contents at the mercy of article submitters. Submitted articles have embedded anchor text in them that directs you visitors to the websites of the articles owners. It’s still important to have your own articles. You could use them to link to your other websites or to your favorite authority websites.

But to truly feel the power of article marketing, go for original articles. There are many article writers who accept part time and freelance article writing jobs and charges only minimal fees. You can get good original articles that have all the keywords and keyword phrases you need that you know people are looking for.

The investment you made for these articles is worth every penny because you could use them for all the benefits you could offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able to use them anyway you want. Your article writing needs have just been solved.

The truth is if you’re not selling hard products in some ways, you are already missing out on a major source of revenue. eBay has already clamped down on infoproduct listings, and along with it, Amazon, Buy.com, Shopping.com and even Craigslist are considered major marketplaces for products that people will search and are more ready to buy because there is an immediate need to fulfill and you don’t have to explain too much (do you need to over-explain a digital camera to a layman?).

Most people would immediately think about the challenge to secure sole rights for selling hard stuff, or “I have to go to China or Bangkok to visit the factories” or shipping cost concerns and perhaps having to learn how to install shopping cart scripts. Put all these conventional thoughts aside for a while, because here is a man who made over $102,000 last Christmas selling off Amazon and some other tangible sites (primarily Amazon). It’s very urgent that IF you plan on getting it, you get it now IF your goal is to cash in for Christmas 2008.

I’ve always admire people who can do this successfully online. Unlike info-gurus like me(!), they are the REAL gurus selling real products to real people through real vendors and making a very healthy profit in the process.

That is why this product is aptly named Info Product Killer. The primary concept revolves around building mini-sites focused on serving the U.S. market. We all know countries like U.S. and U.K. have the most web-savvy buyers but unknown to you if you’ve never appreciated living in these places, that is because it takes time to travel to a central shopping location. I just got to know a fellow Singaporean who actually flew from Minnesota to San Francisco just to buy a watch. Anyway, geography defines the online purchasing culture. And in this dark financial times, people are much more prone to hunt down bargains in a matter of Google searches.

So coming back, it doesn’t matter if you live in the U.S. or not, unless you can’t sign up to Amazon’s Associate program based on where you live. But Info Product Killer discusses the U.S. market.

It certainly sounds easy when you’re already hands-on with Internet Marketing. I mean, mini-sites are nothing new. Phil Wiley wrote about them 7 years ago and several people have developed new versions of the concept over the years.

But this whole Amazon idea is boiled down into a very effective system that capitalizes on proven on-page SEO techniques.

The creator of Info Product Killer (his name is Craig) is quoted to earn 80% of his commissions from free traffic only. It is what he does best. Nonetheless, Info Product Killer also touches on PPC marketing.

The most crucial lesson is to understand and appreciate how these Amazon niche sites are designed and set up for effective conversion. With Info Product Killer, it’s in step-by-step form with video tutorials! When you are a visual learner, you know it helps to put you at ease when “what you see is what you get”. You should be able to organize and assemble the knowledge from watching the videos.

With all that being said, it must be stressed that the strategies work all year round, not only for Amazon (since it’s a cut-and-paste job with the Amazon Associates product links. You can use Commission Junction links if you want) and can work on blogs too. Knowing the secret key to getting visitors hooked on buying hard products and fulfilling their urgent needs/wants will definitely open more doors for monetization beyond selling PDF files and softwares.

Craig is so confident of his course that he actually wants to limit its availability and give you a $68 discount. Just go to the page and use discount code WSO777 (IGNORE the displayed discount code).
