Internet Marketing Tip

internet marketing crowdInternet marketing is attracting more people than ever before, there are literal crowds of people anxious to learn how to get started in internet marketing or what they think is simply making money online….but it is much more than that. Many people get into internet marketing thinking that there is one magical internet marketing tip that will make them a million dollars overnight. Yes, it is possible to make money on line, but it does not happen that quickly.

Making money online takes hard work. Just like in any other business, you must have a plan of action in order to be a successful internet marketer. There isn’t any one magical internet plan of action that you can follow. However, you might want to follow a few of the following suggestions to get you started on your quest of making money online.

Do Your Research

There are many ways to make money online. You can take surveys, write articles, sell affiliate products or sell on EBay. Find out what interests you and do it. During this time, test many options.

This is okay in the very beginning, but don’t get bogged down and try to analyze everything about internet marketing in the very beginning. This will only confuse you and you will never start making money online.

=========================================
You’ll find some of the best places to learn about internet marketing are on the internet marketing forums. There are many around, the warriorforum.com is a good place to start Earn1KaDay is a paid forum, you have to pay a small monthly fee but the teaching is excellent and on point, plus you’ll find many members anxious and able to answer your questions….the atmosphere is friendly and conducive to learning. You can grab a free book about internet marketing that might help you make some decisions…Start by learning how to make just 5 Bucks A Day! ….its FREE :)
=========================================

Don’t Believe Everything You See

A lot of the so- called internet marketing gurus are full of fluff. An internet marketing tip from many of them is not worth much at all. Remember, most of the make money online websites are geared towards newbies who are unfamiliar with the internet and how it works. In addition, if some of these types of gurus were given a truth serum, you would find out that many of them aren’t making much money themselves.

Fortunately, there are many credible webmasters. It is your job to find the ones that are reliable. Carefully pick the gurus that you choose as role models. Not every internet marketing tip is a winner.

Don’t Become Overwhelmed

The internet has a lot of information for one person to digest. Web pages have links that can lead to other places of interest. Before you know it, you can drift off topic and land on web pages that are not related to your original searches for information. Don’t let all of this new information overwhelm you. Don’t get sidetracked. Learn how to focus.

Perfect It and Stick With It

Learn as much as you can on about internet marketing, but don’t try to do everything that you learn at one time. This is another internet marketing tip that you should take to heart. There are many different ways of doing things on the internet. Different gurus have different ways of doing many different things.

If you want to follow the system of one particular guru, then follow that system to the letter. Don’t practice those steps and then two weeks later jump to another guru’s system. Figure out how to make that particular system work for you before you go to another one.

Don’t Give Up

You are not going to find the perfect internet marketing tip. Don’t jump from one internet marketing system to another just because you did not make sales in a short period of time. You must be willing to put in the hard work that is required to make your internet marketing campaign successful. Persistent pays when it comes to internet marketing.

Internet marketing requires persistence, hard work and patience. You won’t become rich in the very beginning, but you have the potential to do so in the very near future. Finding an internet marketing tip or two can help you to find online success.

NanoBloggers

PC075482

I stumbled on a blog post about a new book called Nanobloggers.

Turns out to be a no no-nonsense approach to developing an online income by developing a niche markets using blogs. Not a novel concept in and of itself, however, it is a recipe type book, spelling out the steps needed to develop your niche and turn it into a money maker.

The concepts are appropiate for someone either new or interested in finally making money online. No hype but good solid teaching.

I’ve seen many comments on the book, almost all of them good!

Here’s a few comments I stumbled on while searching online for more information about Nanobloggers:

This is a great book. I’m only on page 26 / 105 and i’ve found the ebook more interesting and useful than any other book ive read. The resources and links alone are worth the price of this ebook.

Hey, this is good stuff. Ignore the intro chapter and get into the meat of this.

Basically all about adding the personal touch to blogging to gain the trust of readers and use the power of blogs as natural SEO.

Funnily enough I’ve just spent the past week working on a couple of blogs mirrored by this method. Nice to add some more info to what I’ve already discovered, thanks.

I really like the product. It’s a very simple and elegant system for blogging. The system requires some work but the philosophy behind is much more in tune with the core strengths of the Internet itself.

For some people like me the beauty of the system clearly shines through. But I can tell others are going to question certain aspects of the system because its different than what most of us are use to. There are no keyword tools used, no seo, and you have to be willing to interact within your niches community on a basic level.

It’s also not a set it and forget it type system. You have to put in some work every day. At least 20-30 minutes per blog it seems.

If what I just wrote turns you off, honestly don’t let it. Peter does a fantastic job explaining and supporting the “why” of the nanoblogging philosophy which makes a TON of sense. It’s just different than what were use to from a Internet marketing course.

If your looking to pick it up Andre Chaperon offers a bonus interview with Peter. I’m considering putting together a bonus my self as I have taken some notes and put together a mind map but I’m not sure if I want to share them with others yet.

You can find more reviews and comments over at the warrior forum, here’s the forum post for Nanobloggers.

Peter, the author of Nanobloggers has decided to donate his income from this book to help finance a Dog Shelter….a very admirable cause, here’s a blurb from his salespage. For what it’s worth, Peter seems to be stand up guy with a great product for anyone looking to do a little work and develop a  real online business. He gets high praise from John Jonas….a pretty no-nonsense guy and seems to be a square shooter. In any case, it is a clickbank purchase so you’re investment is guaranteed for 90 days……go for it!

It’s been two years since I have done this little Blogging to Sell coaching club. I haven’t released any new materials since then. I practice what I teach. Every day, I’m in the trenches, working hard – I’m not a guru. (and I have zero intention of becoming one)

Thing is tho – I have a lot to share.

I test like a maniac – there’s not much I haven’t done online where traffic and conversion strategies are concerned.

You can ask my friends – you know who they are…

Marketing is my passion – I can yap for hours on end about marketing. I’m an addict.

But …

There’s one thing that I’m even more passionate about. Dogs.

I’m a big dog friend and I co-operate my local dog shelter. A dog shelter is a massive money pit. (lots of costs but very little income)

Each month I donate about $5K of my own money to keep the shelter “alive”.

We need (lots of) dog food and pet medicine, there are veterinary bills we need to pay.

The list goes on and on –  it never stops.

New puppies are droppped on our doorstep almost daily. We take good care of all of them.

We give them a good life.

I developed a complex marketing plan for the shelter – I know it will work.

I need the shelter to become self-funding.

Therefore – to fund this marketing plan, I decided to release a working business model to you guys.

I will put every single red penny I make from nanobloggers into the dog shelter – I will not pocket any of the money myself.

Nanobloggers works – it can change your life like it did for the people in my Golden Six” group.

I need you to succeed – you can do it, it’s not hard.

Here’s what you will be getting when you make the super smart decision to get nanobloggers today:

  • The nanobloggers manual (little over 100 pages)
  • The nanobloggers mindmap
  • A custom file to help you set up your nanobloggers.
  • In 2 weeks you’ll receive my blueprint for outsourcing (in co-op with John Jonas)
  • In 4 weeks you’ll receive a full case study of a working, real life nanobloggers project.
  • Access to a dedicated nanobloggers news blog (just for you, my “incrowd”), where I will be releasing updates to nanobloggers, marketing tips and tricks and insights on new workflows.

My Blogging to Sell group paid me $400/month – I’m not going to charge you this much. Price is under 100 dollars!

Wordpress Themes by StudioPress

WordPress Themes by StudioPressWordpress is similar to Xsitepro when you consider that you can completely change the look of the site by changing the theme or template. When looking for wordpress themes I usually search for free wp themes or use something I already have on my hard drive, I certainly didn’t think about purchasing themes!

Although, I have to admit, I always thought some of the magazine style wordpress themes were pretty hot. A lot of functionality along with a unique way to manage and present content. Yes, there are free magazine and newspaper type themes available, however, these free themes never come with support and you are usually limited to personal use.

Another thing to consider if you might be interested in purchasing a wordpress theme, there are usually a couple of different types of licenses….personal use and a developer’s license which allows you to create a website for a client using the theme or producing a website using the theme and then selling it.

Another purchasing option is buying a developers license for all the themes from any given author. Studio Press, a Brian Gardner creation offers those different licenses and his current series, StudioPress is nothing short of fantastic. I think there are about 14 themes that are part of this series of wordpress blog templates, all of them are awesome. Every couple of months or so he adds a new theme to the series.

How to Make Money With StudioPress WP Themes

#1 Sell Premade Websites

You might wonder why you would want 14 custom themes and have the ability to sell theme. I’ve seen a couple of people take these themes, post 10 custom articles, create a header graphic and sell them on the Warrior Forum in the Warrior Special Offers forum and people scoop em up because they just look awesome. Just make sure you do some research and pick out a good niche….in fact if you include a keyword list your offer will be that much more enticing.

#2 Start An Offline Marketing Business for Brick & Mortar Businesses

One more way you could use these themes is by doing some offline marketing. By “offline marketing” I simply mean helping brick and mortar business owners create an internet presence or web presence by setting them up with a wordpress blog……..of course you would use these StudioPress themes for offline markeing. This is a no brainer, there are so many businesses with static websites that do absolutely nothing for the owner. All you have to do is show them your cool looking  StudioPress theme, set up a few categories, make sure you put an optin form using an autoresponder service like Aweber and you’ll come out looking like knight in shining armour!

#3 Specialize In Helping Network Marketers

I’ll give you one more idea for using these StudioPress wp themes. A lot of people are looking for ways to make money online. One method is network marketing. Some network marketer’s are provided with a “canned” type website…..most don’t have any type of website. As you know, setting up a wordpress blog is such a simple thing to do. Your job….should you accept it :) would be to contact any of these network marketers and offer your services for setting up a blog using StudioPress themes. The thing most network marketers need most are bodies, that is, members. Set the blog up with a couple of keyword rich articles and then set them up with a method of developing and building their own marketing list through an autoresponder service like Aweber! They will think you’re some kind of internet…computer genius….I guarantee!

Just wanted to pass the good word on about StudioPress themes and give them my stamp of approval. I have Brian Gardner’s first series of wordpress themes called Revolution Series, and it’s an awesome set of themes. Unfortunately you cannot purchase the Revolution series anymore. However, StudioPress is available, you can see a sample of the Church Theme on my site The Xsitepro Guide.

How To Start Your Own Free Money Making Websites

So, you’re hunting for free money making websites. This article takes a look at the two aspects involved in this search: the free websites and the money making websites. . .and how to combine the two. Twitter is one example I can think of that is free and quick, Xsitepro on the other hand gives you the ability to create your own website and upload it to any hosting account, free or paid!

There are many options that you can choose from if you are looking for free website platforms. Webs.com, Weebly.com and Wix.com are three of the most popular choices for building your own website step by step. If you are just starting out, these could be good options to learn on with a free account. Obviously the free account will limit the features that are available to you but you can also upgrade at any time. These sites all have tutorials to help you get started if you’re brand new to building websites.

Another option is to create a free blog. Typically, blogs differ from websites because they offer opinions or suggestions and because they are more dynamic. Blogs should be updated frequently and consistently with your articles (posts). A website is more static. The information that you put on the pages of your website will not change too often or too much. Blogger.com, WordPress.com and Thoughts.com are some of the most common.

It really makes no difference whether you choose actual websites or blogs to be your free money making websites. Either way, the money-making aspect to apply will be the same. Here is how to monitize your site.

ttm-banner300x250.gifRegardless of whether or not you have your own product or service to sell, you can make money from your website/blog by adding Google AdSense ads. Most website and blog platforms offer this service automatically so all you have to do is sign up – it’s completely free. Once you’re approved, ads that are relevant to the content of your site will appear and when your visitors click on these ads, you will make money. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

Another way to monitize your site, even if you have nothing of your own to sell, is to offer affiliate products to your visitors. Sign up for an affiliate account with any of the affiliate programs (ClickBank and Commission Junction are the most popular) and choose the products that you want to promote. Obviously, these items need to jive with the theme of your website or blog. Put some information about this product in your website or blog along with your affiliate link and whenever someone ends up buying the product, you get a commission on that sale. Affiliate programs typically offer somewhere between 50 – 75 percent commission so you can do really well with this depending on how much traffic you get to your site and how relevant the products are to your theme.

As you learn more about earning money with blogs and websites, you can also start thinking of developing your own product(s) and service(s) that would serve your audience.

There aren’t too many ways that you can earn money without spending any. . .but free money making websites defy the norm!
