This must be one of the most ingenious marketing idea I have ever come across in the past year or 2. David Lockley has released a system that empowers you to collect names and e-mail addresses via an opt-in popup even if it’s not on your site!

Read the last 5 words again. Think through all the web spaces where you have a name on: Twitter, 3rd-party blogs, social networks, forums etc., and all the sales pages you have referred your leads to: Amazon, ClickBank, eBay etc.

You never had the opportunity to collect leads from these pages, but that is about to change dramatically. With My Automated Sales System, you can create more sales, more leads, more newsletter subscribers and more marketing opportunities without having to do anything new.

To put it crudely, this is ‘hijacking’ at its best. Watch the video at the top of the page to see how it works.

Almost everyone agrees that links are super-important for getting top search engine rankings and tons of traffic.

But did you know that there are lots of myths about link building? If you believe these myths, you could be missing out on a pile of traffic.

My friend Neil Shearing has just released a report shattering 10 link building myths and he’s giving it away -> “Top Linking Secrets“.

I believe you already know that article marketing is one of the best ways to generate targeted traffic and backlinks to your website. But there is another powerful tool that can be used to generate even more traffic. It’s called video marketing.

And now for the 1st time in history, you can turn your articles to talking videos in less than 3 minutes!

All you have to do is copy-and-paste your article into the Article Video Robot service and out comes a hot marketable video instantly!

You don’t even have to leave your desk or touch a camera!

Check out a demo of this app in action here.

I think this service is powerful yet easy enough to leave an indelible impression on what it truly takes to do video marketing, which is not a lot of effort.

What is Internet marketing?

Depending on whom you ask, the term Internet marketing can mean a variety of things. At one time, Internet marketing consisted typically of having a website or placing banner ads on other websites. On the other end of the spectrum, there are loads of companies telling you that you can make a fortune overnight on the Internet and who try to sell you some form of Internet marketing programs.

Today, Internet marketing, or online marketing, is evolving into a broader mix of components a company can use as a means of increasing sales—even if your business is done completely online, partly online, or completely offline. The decision to use Internet marketing as part of a company’s overall marketing strategy is strictly up to the company of course, but as a rule, Internet marketing is becoming an increasingly important part of nearly every company’s marketing mix. For some online businesses, it is the only form of marketing being practiced.

Internet marketing is relatively inexpensive when compared to the ratio of cost against the reach of the target audience. Internet marketing is a great way to bring more profit to your business. Internet marketing is a cost-effective way to deliver quality buyers for your services at little cost compared to most types of marketing services.

Search engines are important to your Internet marketing strategy because according to a recent study, some 85% of all website traffic originates from either a search engine or directory. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the most successful tactics used in e-marketing today.

Internet marketing is the business of both advertising and selling goods and services over the Internet. This form of business is ever-increasing in popularity, with millions of people now making purchases on the Internet. Internet marketing began in the early 1990s as primarily a means of product description, consisting merely of text descriptions. As technology progressed, Internet marketing rapidly advanced to include pictures and other rich graphics as part of advertisements for products and services. After realizing the remarkable potential of this means of marketing, Internet-based companies started opening their virtual doors for business. As opposite to what are now known as “brick and mortar” operations, these e-businesses offer their products and services to a increasing number of consumers, conducting all, or nearly all, of their business in the virtual world of the Internet.

There are many forms of marketing on the Internet. Among them are article marketing, blog marketing, e-mail marketing, search engine marketing (to include search engine optimization), banner ads, pay-per-click ads, and popup ads. It is important to note that each of these forms catches the attention of the target market in different ways, and some may be more effective than others depending on the product or service, the target market, and the strategy and goal of the business marketing itself. Among the business functions that may require use of different means in their strategies are client service, sales, public relations, information organization, and others.

Internet marketing is still a complete mystery to a large majority of Internet users. For many users, Internet marketing is seen as some foreign area of the web, populated with silly get-rich-quick schemes and unsavory characters ready to rip off the innocent and uninformed consumer at the click of a mouse.

Worldwide there are now over a billion Internet users, representing one large global consumer base or marketplace. The total amount of goods sold online has been steadily increasing each year as the Internet gains in both popularity and familiarity. Studies have shown people shop online because of lower prices, a wider selection of products, easier comparison shopping, and many just prefer not having to travel to stores to make a purchase.

Think of your website as a local shop that is situated down a dead end street. To do well your customers need to know where you are and what you are about.

First of all this means having good road signs and there being a road layout that makes the street easy to get to. In the online world the road signs and layout are the website software and optimized content and they are just as important if you want online customers to find you.

Internet marketing is the research of the target audience, studying the market situation and predicting changes for the online market, plus the package of actions aimed at bringing potential customers to the website by improving the web site’s visibility in search engines and placing all sorts of ads throughout the Net. An integral part of the Internet marketing is the website’s visits statistics.

Any of your actions toward increasing sales are to be evaluated in terms of their efficiency. The quality analysis of the Internet statistics will help you understand your prospective customers’ demands and interests, evaluate the attraction and retention methods that are good for the customers and reveal what makes them to not get interested in your products or services.

Getting people to your website, and having a fantastic product and service are 2 incredibly important elements for any commercial website, like the one you have.

But in between, there’s that magical element that actually compels someone to pull out their credit card and buy what you have to offer. And if you don’t have that critical part of your business perfected, your traffic and your product just don’t matter. Your new visitors will leave without buying at an astounding rate, and you’ll sell almost nothing.

Converting your visitors into buyers, and your traffic into cash is your missing link.

And it’s what your business was supposed to be all about.

But it probably isn’t.

Well, I just learned about a resource that I’m pretty sure will provide that missing link to convert your visitors into buyers, and your traffic into cash, starting in as little as a few minutes from now.

It’s called the Landing Page Cash Machine, written by my colleague Mark Widawer. Mark is a Google AdWords Qualified Professional, and he runs AdWords campaigns for his clients every day. He just plain flat out KNOWS AdWords.

And beyond that, Mark knows a lot about turning a profit on almost every visitor.

Mark actually wrote this e-book as a private tool to teach his own AdWords clients how to make their websites sell more to the tons of traffic he sends to their sites from Google every day.

You can add several of these techniques to your site in minutes. Some are a simple copy-and-paste onto your site. Others can double or triple your sales almost instantly.

All together, there’s over 70 pages packed full of persuasive magic that will turn your own website into a private, gold-filled, 24-hour ATM.

The bottom line is that you NEED this information (and the cash that comes from it), and Mark’s got it.

StomperNet is having their 8th LIVE Event on August 7-9 in Atlanta, and they are inviting a LIMITED NUMBER of non-members to their ELITE members-only event.

Only a few members of the public have ever been allowed into their closed-door lectures, workshops, roundtables, and reviews.

Now it’s YOUR chance to be a StomperElite for a whole weekend!

You can claim your ticket here.

Keynotes by Jeff Johnson, Russell Brunson, Don Crowther, Brad Fallon (so far)…Plus ALL the rest of the experts in the StomperNet Faculty…

They’ve kept their top-secret events private for a reason—to keep the quality of the event ASTRONOMICALLY high.

That’s why some of the StomperNet elite have attended EVERY event (all seven!) in the past 3 years. This is your chance to join StomperNet in Atlanta for LIVE 8!

Why do Stompers go to LIVE over and over?

Because it PAYS:

* Hands-on face time with StomperNet’s World-Class expert faculty, including no-holds-barred roundtable discussions, brutally honest “tough love” site reviews, and heck, even dinner and drinks!

There’s no “Guru Wall” at StomperNet LIVE—The Faculty are there to help YOU, no matter what it is you need help with.

* Networking opportunities with some of the most successful online business owners in the world. A StomperNet education has made over 100 people millionaires—and at an SN LIVE event, these people are your peers.

Remember, these events are NOT for people coming in off the street—when you look to your left or right, chances are any old Joe Attendee you see has *forgotten* more about Internet Marketing than most newbies can imagine.

StomperNet LIVE is NOT:

* NOT a pitch-fest—they don’t allow the “pitching from the stage” you see at other events.

* NOT a lecture-fest—there are keynote speakers, sure—but the main focus is hands-on workshops and discussions WITH the experts.

It’s not just “sit, listen for an hour, 5 minutes of Q&A”.

* NOT like ANY OTHER EVENT!

Go to this page now and see the roster of speakers and sessions over the FULL 3 days (with more being added).

And remember, you shouldn’t “wait until next time”—StomperNet may very well NEVER offer LIVE tickets to non-members again. This could be a once in a lifetime shot.

See why even in a down economy, StomperNet’s members are fearless AND successful…and hungry for MORE!

So, you have been searching for an opportunity that can help you earn money on the Internet, huh? So, what have you chosen lately? Right now, there must be already hundreds and even thousands of business opportunities being offered on the Internet and some of them have one common phrase or keyword and that’s “how to make money online”. Most of these opportunities will let you download e-books and software or something like that and then, you try to read everything first before actually using it which is considered natural in the Cyberspace world. But sometimes, other people find this way too hard and way too time-consuming. What people needs today is an opportunity with the sense of urgency. They need to make money online in the soonest possible time and even you will agree to this, right? That’s why, programs like Profit Lance system by Michael Andrews have been recently launched on the Internet.

The best part of this program is you don’t have to download anything. You will be given access to a member’s area, right after you have paid up the fees. Then, there will be a short orientation of what you’ll be doing to be of advantage and benefit to you. It’s in this kind of system of Profit Lance that people do like about. Since most of them are first-timers, the Profit Lance system will give them an overview in the simplest way that everyone can understand. According to some Profit Lance reviews, you can finish the orientation fast and they’ll be instantly going right down to business.

And talking about first-timers and all, it is also just natural that somebody might question things that are new to them, given the fact that most of the “new things” on the Internet are mostly scams or total rip-offs. That’s why, when Mr. Andrews launched his Profit Lance, some people are asking: “Is Profit Lance scam?” If this is your first time hearing about Profit Lance or you’re still apprehensive, skeptical and all, it’s best that you should some reviews first and who knows, this might be the opportunity that you’ve been looking for.

Why bother?

Good customer service is the life blood of any business. Although new customers are important good customer service will help generate customer loyalty and repeat business. With each satisfied customer your business is likely to win many more customers through recommendations and remember, if you are not taking care of your customers, your competition will.

Online customer satisfaction surveys will help by not only identifying problem areas but show that you care and are proactive in looking for ways to improve the service that you provide.

Where do you start?

Objective – Before you start creating your survey clarify the objectives of the survey, in that way you will find it easier to decide what are the right questions to ask.

Analysis – Consider how you will analyse the answers having completed the survey.

Keep in mind that ‘closed’ questions (where a respondent is asked to choose from a limited number of responses) are much easier to analyze than ‘open’ questions (where the respondent can reply in anyway they want).

A lot will depend on the predicted volume of respondents, the higher the volume the more important it is to have an easy method of analysing the results.

Opportunity – As well as obtaining valuable market research data keep in mind that customer surveys are also a good way to publicise aspects of your service that your customers may not be aware of.

Before you publish the survey confirm that the questions you have asked will provide you with market research data that when analysed will help you make informed decisions.

Then, from a marketing view point read through the survey, confirm that you have phrased each question so that every opportunity has been taken to promote your business?

The ideal question will perform the following three functions:-

• Market research – provide valuable feedback to help you improve your customer satisfaction levels and in turn your business
• Marketing – promote aspects of your business
• Information/Education – advertise a service that you provide that your customers may not have been unaware of

For example:- Do you find the in-store baby changing facilities useful?

By asking this question not only will the store receive good market research feedback on the facility they provide but they will also promote their facilities and advertise themselves as a family friendly store, even beyond those customers who have a specific need for the baby changing facility that has been provided.

Warts and all – to benefit most from a customer survey you need to be prepared to dig deep and accept the worst.

A customer satisfaction survey should be designed to identify any problem areas so that they can be fixed; conducting regular customer satisfaction will help prevent complacency and will also give early warning on where you may be losing business to your competitors initiatives.

What are the questions you should ask?

Each business is likely to have unique factors in relation to providing good customer services however there are common areas that are going to be relevant to all businesses be they a physical store, online store or a service industry. The following are some key areas to providing good customer service.

Communication – What do you do to help your customers communicate with you?

When customers telephone are their calls answered quickly; are their enquiries about products or services handled properly? Good businesses will make every effort to ensure that whatever the customers query it is resolved by the right person, quickly, politely and fairly.

If customers reported problems that cannot be resolvable immediately do you promise to respond in a given time period and do you deliver on your promise?

Use a customer satisfaction survey to ensure that all your staff are considered by your customers to be knowledgeable, courteous and helpful.

Location – Are you doing everything you can to ensure that your customers find it easy to visit you, if a physical store, does it have good access and is it conveniently located?

Making it pleasant, making it easy – For an online business it is important to ensure that your website is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Physical store or online website, is the store properly laid out, can your customers find what they need and is there sufficient information and help on hand to explain how a particular product works?

The right quality products – You should not only measure the quality of the service that you provide but you should also monitor that the products and services that you market are what the customer wants and closely match their expectations.

Value for money – Cheap or expensive is not always a good measure, value for money is.

Is your business associated with value for money by your customers, if not, why not?

Speed and attention – Customers want to be dealt with quickly but attentively.

Are you doing everything you can to avoid delays?

Good businesses will try to treat each customer as an individual, does yours? Customers appreciate attention but only if it leads to a quick and satisfactory resolution of the query.

Demographics and Specific issues – Take the opportunity to profile your customers, for example where do they live and what is their age group?

Understand your customers more and you will be able to better target your business.

As part of the survey allow your customers the opportunity to highlight any problems that they may have and provide you with contact details so that their problems might be later addressed and their concerns followed up.

What next?

Once the survey has been completed analyse the results.

Trends – Identify common and specific areas where the service needs improving.

Ask yourself honestly if any criticism that you receive is valid and if there anything that can be done to resolve or minimise the problem?

Training – Are all employees properly trained and do they have sufficient knowledge?

Where employee training programmes have been implemented have they made a positive contribution to the business and improved the customer service?

Follow-up – If a customer has raised a specific issue through completing a survey ensure that they are contacted and that their complaint is properly addressed.

Do not squander the opportunity to resolve a problem and keep a customer.

Continuously Monitor – Based on the survey results make changes and then re-measure by issuing further surveys.

If you are interested in tracking customer satisfaction and would like to see a sample survey for a store that demonstrates some of the above advice please view the following example that can be used as a customer satisfaction survey template.

Imagine you’re BORN into an Internet Marketing business. That is, your father built a HUGE Internet Business and then passed it on to you…

…but not before schooling you on EVERYTHING you need to know to become your own MASSIVE SUCCESS online.

Wouldn’t that be COOL?

Whether he’s aware or not, I looked up John Delavera as a mentor-figure when I started Internet Marketing in 2004, but I’m not the only one. John is truly a ‘father’ to MANY marketers. He’s able to teach like no other for 2 reasons:

First, he knows stuff and TEACHES stuff that NO ONE ELSE either knows…or if they do know it, they ARE NOT willing to teach it.

After all, why give away ALL your secrets, right? But that’s EXACTLY what John does.

Second, John actually CARES about your success. Think that sounds like some empty platitude?

Here’s what Mark Joyner has to say about John…

“There are many people in the world who have a great understanding of Internet Marketing…But we needed more than just a brilliant figure.

“We wanted to find someone who truly lived and breathed this stuff and was dedicated to personally helping others. John takes care of his students like a parent to a child. I’ve never met anyone in this field who so genuinely cared about the people he was helping.

“When you start working with him you’ll see what I mean.”

And here’s the REALLY BIG NEWS…

John is going to divulge secrets NEVER BEFORE given to anyone…AND he’s giving away the Greatest Tool in Internet marketing history.

Sure, that sounds like hype… but what am I SUPPOSED to say when it’s actually TRUE???

Frankly, I learned more just reading this page than I did for the last month. John is a MASTER…

When 2 big names collide, you don’t think twice.

Lance Tamashiro and Robert Plank have 2 advanced strategies you can put into action just a few minutes from now to grow your mailing list faster and get more sales than you’re getting right now. Those 2 tactics are the “teacher’s pet” method and the “guest blogging” method.

With the “teacher’s pet” advanced strategy, you’ll learn AND see how Lance hunts down mid-level and high-level gurus to get their attention, including Robert Plank. True story: Lance invaded one of Robert’s $400 e-classes, got the DAILY attention of 40 participants, and turned Robert into his accountability partner just from putting in a few minutes per day.

As if that wasn’t enough, Robert will show you his “Guest Blogging” strategy to gather massive traffic to your websites. He stopped using Ezine Articles which only generated him about 10 visitors per year from each article…and now markets his articles to single websites to bring in an average of 80 visitors per month, each and every month, from EACH and every article he submits!

There’s a very step-by-step procedure you need to take, with certain keywords and trigger points in your proposal e-mails, and it’s all laid out on the table for you.

Check out their Blog Invasion System now. Quite interesting.

Matt Trainer and Marty Rozmanith has released their CPA Ninja home study course to the world, and the bad news is they’ve only got a VERY limited number of copies of the course to sell. It’s a professionally produced, full-color physical course, not an online thing. That way you’ve got everything you need right in front of you so you can build your online profits fast.

It’s an excellent, very well-prepared course showing you the EXACT system you can use to make a ton of money online:

* Without a list
* Without your own product
* Without writing sales copy
* Without JVs
* Without “Launches”

But what does “CPA” Marketing mean? It means “Cost Per Action” Marketing, and it’s VERY different than the info-product marketing you normally hear about online. People who “know what they’re doing” with CPA Marketing make a TON of money (like Amish Shah, who was featured in a CPA Ninja video makes $100k A DAY).

You can skip to this page and discover just how much CPA Ninja contains.

A lot of who are have own blogs or sites are dreaming about how to realise the commercial potential of their sites. There are actually dozens of ways of making money from a good content website.
