How to successfully find a potential affiliate?

2010-09-02T01:46:00.000-07:00

Here's a great tip from a successful affiliate manager, Garrett Robins, with over seven years experience in sales.

When researching for potential affiliates here are few tools that can help you find potential affiliates. There are free tools and there are some that you need to take out some money out of your pocket, but they can definitely help you and will cut your research time by about 90 percent

The Alexa Tool bar
http://download.alexa.com/index.cgi

This nifty little tool lets you see information related to the site you are looking at including:
• Name of the Owner
• Email Address
• Physical Address
• Phone Number
• Other Sites Created by the Owner
• Other Site Related to that Site

The Google Toolbar
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/index.html

This toolbar will show the PR (page Rank) of the site. If you can get higher ranked sites to promote for you that is great but it is best to focus on the threes, fours and fives.

So why would you want all this information? Well, you can’t build a relationship with anyone if you don’t communicate with them. By using this tool you can visit a site in your niche or a site that would be a good fit for your product and “mine” out the useful information. Then you can throw it on a excel sheet so it’s ready for you when you move on to the recruiting stage.

SEO Elite
http://www.dotcomsecrets.com/reviews/seoelite

This is a paid software. This tool will cut your research time by about 90 percent. If used the right way, it will pull out sites related to the keywords you type in and export the list to an Excel sheet for you. At that point you can sort through the list of what is most relevant to you and get ready to make the phone calls.

Here's how to use it:
Step #1 Search for the Keyword
Step # 2 Click ok and let it pull up hundreds of related sites in seconds.
Step #3 Export them to an Excel file and sort them using **** + + + or what ever
symbols you want to sort the best to contact.

Seo Elite pulls up Page Rank, Alexa info and much more in a matter of seconds. It can also pull up hundreds of sites for your keyword.

Using all these tools, you now have all the information that you need in your next step, and that is recruiting your affiliates.

19 Ways to Create a Product and Make Money Online

2010-01-18T18:15:00.000-08:00

Thinking of starting your own business online? If you are having a hard time thinking of ideas on what to create and sell online, here are some ideas that can help you make your own product and make money online.

Internet marketing guru, Russell Brunson, the owner of DotComSecrets.com shares his tips and strategies on how to make money online. These are his secrets:

1. Software Creation - Creating software is one of the easiest ways to create a product fast. You can create something for almost any niche.

2. Public Domain - These are "works" where the copyrights has expired. You are able to take these and re-package them and sell them as your own products.

3. Interviews - interview an expert in ANY field and sell the recordings and/or the transcripts. This is the best way to become an expert in any field - just interview the experts and people will see you as one of them.

4. Seminar Videos - put on your own seminar, record it with a video camera and sell the footage.

5. Re-niche content - if your selling a product (or bought rights to a product) - you can re-niche it for a different audience. Example would be if you sell a book about speed reading, re-niche it to "speed reading for students."

6. Book on CD - record yourself reading your book and sell it on cd.

7. Resource CD - compile a list of resources for a specific niche, and sell the directory.

8. Recycle content - take products or content you've created in the past and re-use it. I'm using this blog post as a newsletter, an article, probably a chapter in a future book... Recycle what you're doing now.

9. Camtasia Video - this is one of the most powerful tools online marketers have. Create screen capture videos of anything you can do on your computer. Demos of software - PowerPoint slides, how to... anything computer related. Think how much moolah the "computer professor" makes by making "how to" videos for different Microsoft products.

10. Idea collection - Combine a list of ideas and sell those. I've got friends who sell list of ideas on how to make money quickly, how to clean your carpets, how to take care of lawns, etc...

11. Others experts submit content - get others to submit articles, or audios, or vidoes, and compile them into a product. For example, you can have people submit their best stories, pictures and poems and compiled them into a product.

12. Podcasts - like an online radio show that you can download. Have paid podcasts - or record a bunch, then take the recordings and put them onto CD's.

13. Membership sites - have residual income coming in when people pay you over and over again for access to your membership site. You can provide content in your membership sites - or create software programs that people have to pay monthly to use.

14. Teleseminars - just record yourself interviewing someone or teaching on a subject that you know a lot about.

15. Ghostwriters - hire someone (think outsourcing again) to write a book on a the subject that you want to sell.

16. Free coaching calls - do free coaching calls for your members, track their progress, then compile the recordings into a product.

17. Mastermind roundtables - get a group of experts together and have them discuss the subject - record the full thing and you've got an instant product.

18. Private Label - similar to public domain, but usually created w/ the intent to sell w/out a copyright. A million ways to use private label stuff. Most people fail at this because they try to sell the content "as is." Be sure to make it your own and you'll have a ton of success with these.

19. Case Studies - compile all the case studies you are learning about and explain how they all have worked.

Eliminating Roadblocks For Your Customers

2009-09-06T20:08:00.000-07:00

In any business, the key to survive the competition is to create something easy for your customers. People always look something that is convenient and they will pay no matter how much the price is. That is another another discussion but one thing that I would like to emphasize is that, if you create something easy for your customers, for sure they'll stick to it and would be beneficial to your business.

Have you ever bought any electronic device and opened up a very think instruction manual? Good thing there are some that came along with a quick start guide. In no time at all you can start using that device already. What can you learn from this is that, “creating a quick start guide” can help attract people into your business.

For example, in writing sales copy, you want to attract people to buy your product. So one thing you can do to improve your sales copy is by eliminating roadblocks for your customers. So what are the possible roadblocks that prevent your sales letters from conveying your message to the people? As what have been mentioned earlier, with all the competition out there, you want to make things as easy for your customers as possible. Most people would prefer to get all the information right away and would not want to read the 40-page letter just to find out what they can take advantage of.

The next time you write your sales copy, try applying this tip. In addition, try to use also some of the words in your quick start. For example, when a customer sees the word “discover” instead of “learn”, it sounds like a lot less work and a lot more fun.

Social Networks and Web 2.0

2009-09-02T23:44:00.000-07:00

Social networks and Web2.0 are continuously growing and the latest fad brought about by these networks is driving people crazy and what caused them to frequently stay in these sites. So what can you derive from this? In internet marketing, when you have a website, the number one goal is how can you bring more traffic to your site.

When designing your website, you can learn form these social networks and Web 2.0 sites. The main focus is to keep it simple. Let's start with the overall navigation of the website. It used to be so difficult to find your way around sites and access the information you were looking for. By just using bolder colors, larger text, different fonts, etc., you have simplified the entire set up making it easy to find all the important stuff in your site.We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to find the information they are searching for. The easier it is, the more traffic you'll have.

Less is more, the simplicity of just giving a user what they need in order to absorb your information and understand it and act upon what you want them to do is the most important thing.

Packaging your product

2009-09-01T19:22:00.000-07:00

Packaging your product, together with promoting, pricing and advertising, is one of the main marketing strategies for selling your products. Product packaging must be appealing to consumers, so you have to learn the importance of having a unique packaging for your products. Why? Because product packaging can influence the buying decisions of customers.

For instance, you are in a grocery store and you happen to see a new product. How this new product influence you to purchase it, is it with the content or the way it was packaged? Maybe you're curious about the content but there are times that packaging of the product is the real factor why you purchased it.

If you are the product owner and many of you offers the same thing, then how are you going to make your products stand out? You can say that you do have a quality content but customers will not notice that. So this is where your packaging will speak of your product. If your product looks just like everyone else's, people might just pass right by until they find one that does get their attention.

So what do you need to do in order to have a packaging that will stand out? Being unique is the key. Everything that customers see in a product before they purchase offers the opportunity to communicate with people so everything that involves here, the design, the color, etc., you must decide and think critically to attract and hold the customers' attention.

How to boost adwords relevancy

2009-08-27T22:57:00.000-07:00

When using Google Adwords, your main goal is that your ads will be displayed when someone enters a keyword that relates to your products or services. When the searcher clicks on your ad, he will be directed to your site and hopefully they will make a purchase or sign-up for more information. In PPC, you pay for every click through on your ad, regardless of whether someone makes a purchase or not. So choosing the right keywords is essential to your success. A bad choice of keywords will definitely make you in money trouble.

The most important thing you should know is how to boost adwords relevancy. Choosing your keywords is the most delicate part of online marketing. There are times, no matter how much you carefully select your keywords, users only click your ads and leave your website without making any purchase, simply because they don't need the product you offer. This is why the relevancy of keywords is extremely important.

Relevancy score is important to Google, so when you think about your keywords, choose only one. Select one keyword and one adgroup and use exact match. If you do this, your relevancy score on Google will increase, and that’s the goal. Don’t waste your money on 20 or 30 keywords when one can be more effective.

When you have selected your keyword, be sure to use exact match. Then make sure you put that one keyword in your URL, your headline, your description, etc. Make sure the keyword density is high, and you will see greater success.

Finding Keywords With Commercial Intent

2009-08-25T00:01:00.000-07:00

Mostly, newbies in internet marketing, often over look when choosing their keywords the commercial intention of that particular keyword or keywords. Usually they look for keywords that have a higher search volume and low competition. But they don't determine whether the keyword will likely result in sales or not.

Finding keywords with commercial intent is important because right in there, you will know if the keyword you are bidding with will be effective and will result into sales. Determining the commercial value of a particular keyword or phrase is hard though but the Microsoft Ad Center Labs has produced a valuable tool to help you accomplish this. All you have to do is enter your keyword in the search box and it will calculate for you the projected success of your keyword. This program specifically calculates keywords with commercial intent and can be of great value to you and your ad campaign.

So don't just waste your money on poor PPC campaigns. Take the time first to try out a few different keywords. The thing that one has to consider when choosing keyword phrases is not just the search volume but also the commercial intention that a keyword phrase may have.

Targeted Advertising Through SEO

2009-08-24T00:45:00.000-07:00

Targeted advertising through SEO is one of the cheapest way to bring traffic to your web site. How can you take advantage with it? Have you noticed that on the social networking sites like Facebook, they have some very clever advertising? Each ad is almost always tailored to your specific interests. What these companies have done is taken the information you have plugged into your profile and used that to target you as a potential customer.

For example; if you have entered the name of your favorite band or your favorite music genre into your profile, you might see an ad for a new CD that’s being released. If there’s an advertisement about something you are interested in, it’s more likely to grab your attention. The key here is to use the information that you already have about your customers to your advantage.

Now, let’s apply this concept to search engine optimization. When a customer chooses their keywords and types them into the search query, then that tells you exactly what they are searching for. Now it’s up to you to provide them with the information they need and to secure their business. This is accomplished when you create your “title tag.” Let’s use auto insurance as an example; if you are a company that sells auto insurance, but the only word in your title tag is “Geico,” customers are going to have to work a lot harder to access the information they are looking for and are likely to choose a different company. However, if your title tag is “Geico Auto Insurance,” that makes things a lot easier for the customer. It also makes your job easier because you will be targeting your ideal customers.

The Value of Testimonials and Referrals

2009-08-20T00:55:00.000-07:00

Another good marketing strategy, to show that you purely serve a true business is by presenting testimonials. The more you have, the better off it'll be. Most people are convinced to do business with you if you have proven that your product works.

For example, you wanted to go the doctor to consult regarding your health, Would you ask your friends for some referrals? Of course, you will not sacrifice your health and go to a not-so-good doctor. The more positive things you hear about someone, more likely you are going to do a business with them. That's the value of testimonials.

So if you are selling products or services online, gather all positive comments about you or your business. If you have enough evidence that your system or product works, then more people will trust you and are likely to purchase from you. If you have included facts, numbers and testimonials, then customers will have more confidence in you and your products. That's how important testimonials are in the business. Most likely if more people hear good things about you, they would also refer you to other people.

Web Design Essentials: Above the Fold

2009-08-19T23:46:00.000-07:00

This is a little trick about getting the attention of readers right away by the time they stumble on your website. Did you notice how newspaper is being folded in the stands? The article seen above the fold is usually a breaking news or an interesting story already enough to convince the people to buy. The term "above the fold" was originated from this concept.

Applying the concept in web designing, above the fold refers to the area of your web page that is in view without having to scroll up or down and left or right. The “Above the Fold” section is your opportunity to make a great first impression. You want to draw in the customer and make them curious about your products or services. You can do all this by being selective about what you put first on your web page.

A good thing to note is that the average computer monitor has an “Above the Fold” size of about 1000 pixels wide by 578 pixels high. So, if you’ve got important information or something you really want your customers to see, you now know where the best place is to put it! The key is to use this space to grab your customer’s attention. If you can accomplish this, they’ll stick around and check out the rest of your website.

Maintaining a good reputation online

2009-08-12T01:19:00.001-07:00

As an internet marketer, have you come across a negative review about you, your company or your product? Well, business is business and you don't know what might happen next. Either you succeed or fail, but one thing is for sure, you can't make everybody happy. You can't please all the people. Some may have misunderstood you, or about using your product and here they are, telling other people not do any business with you.

Maintaining a good reputation online is important because your image or your company's image is important. Who would want to make any business with you if you have a bad record? One unsatisfied customer may tell all his friends about the bad experience they had with you. No matter how you convince his friends, they won't believe you.

But you can protect your your company’s reputation using these:
-use social networking sites
-use content creation sites
-use blogging sites
-create your own separate “defense” website

Each of these tools can be used to post positive information about you or your products. Honestly defend the criticisms that are out there. One really effective way to do that is to use a search engine. If someone is researching your business and, just to see, Googles your company’s name and sucks, they now have access to all the bad reviews you don’t want them to see. But, you can use this to your advantage. Create a site that defends all the criticism, and you just might change their mind.

Blend or Contrast Ads?

2009-08-03T20:51:00.000-07:00

Personally, I'll go for ads that blend. It is more attractive than ads that contrasts. I find contrast ads distracting, and most of the time I don't end up clicking that ad. Try to look on this samples:

How this idea can help you in internet marketing? You may ask, which works better, blend or contrast ads?

See how effective this ad in getting the attention of people. Translate this concept into your online advertising. Sometimes to blend works well rather than to contrast. Others may have been successful in using contrast ads though but not all have been attracted to it. So in your next advertisement, try to use blend ads.

Try to blend with the environment, in the case of your newsletter ads, blend with the whole lay out page and find a way a twist that could divert attention. Apply the Mr. Clean ad concept in your marketing and for sure you will get great response.

Getting the best price on your product packaging

2009-07-30T01:19:00.000-07:00

Saving money is an important aspect in your business that you need to consider. Before you plan on how to increase profits, you should be able to figure out how to save on all your costs. One way in which you can lessen your expenses is getting the best price for your product packaging.

How are going to do it? Here are simple tips to save money for your company. It may sound so simple but sometimes you just don't realize these simples things can contribute a lot in your success.

First, take a survey. What are the things needed in your product packaging? Get into the phone and get quotes from various companies. Compare their prices and choose the one which you think you can save more money. Try to think of it, a single centavo matters if you are producing hundreds or even thousands of products.

Also, you can save more money when you sign-up for dealer programs. There are companies that offer these programs to increase their customers. So grab the opportunity!

Also look for bulk order discounts. Not always we look for quantity but for quality as well. If you settle for a certain choice because of the quality, you can ask for discount for bulk orders.

At the end of the day, the goal is more money for you and less out of pocket expense. So take the time to shop around for your product packaging needs. Find more ways on how to get the best price on your product packaging.

How to motivate your affiliates?

2009-07-29T03:19:00.000-07:00

In any business, competition is always there. So motivating your affiliates sometimes is hard to come by. In order to keep your affiliates motivated even on tough competition, you need to give them something as reward for their hard work. When someone aims for something, they keep working hard. Especially when you give them something that is considered "hot buy" nowadays. Prizes also serve as appreciation for their hard work.

For example, at DotComSecrets, they have given a Hummer, iPhones, iPods, exotic vacations and just recently, a Corvette! So who didn't like winning prizes? When there is a much wanted prize at stake, you keep your affiliates on their rhythm.

So think about how you can motivate your affiliates. Ask around what are the "hot buys" and the latest trend that will push them to work harder. Giving prizes sometimes can bring out the best on people.

Reusing your content

2009-07-26T23:58:00.000-07:00

When you have a website, to keep the number and grow your subscribers, you need to always provide a fresh content. So you might think that old content is not that valuable anymore. But don't you know that you can use your old content and make more money from it?

Old content can be recycled and launched as a new product. If you have written an ebook, then you can use its old content, simply offer it in a different format, like on audio or video. Old content can be used for your continuity programs.

Reusing your content makes your content more usable. When writing for reuse, it's important that you follow standards, which are based on usability. Standards ensure that similar types of content are structured in similar ways. Everyone writing a product description follows the standard for the product description, making it both reusable and usable.

So try to look back on your old contents and see if what you can still use, recycle and re-launched in a different format.

Pricing your product

Wondering how to give your product or service the right price? Here are two ways to price your product:

Skimming : low number of customers, high profit margin

Mass : high number of customers, low profit margin

Pricing your product is not that easy task to do. It can make or break your business. So proper pricing will take some necessary steps before you can assign a price that will compel the people to buy your product or avail your service.

So which one is the right one? Well that all depends on the relationship between you and your customer and the amount of work you want to put into selling your product. The bottom line is, you’re only worth the price you ask for.

With the skimming strategy, customers are more likely to have a high satisfaction rate, because of a more personal relationship with you, or a more customized product. And with the mass strategy, the customer will expect more service, and more product for their money, which means more work for you. So the right answer is…whichever one works best for you and your company. The most important thing to remember is, no matter what you choose, you’re only worth the price you ask for!

Tapping knowledge from social media

2009-07-22T22:08:00.000-07:00

Social media is not only for promoting about anything. It can also be a powerful search tool to find specific answers for your questions. Not only it can bring traffic to your site but it is now the common way of sharing information about ourselves or things we find interesting.

Just recently, I was looking for details about a new resort, so I searched it on Google, but unfortunately, there wasn't any information available yet. Maybe the owner or the management haven't posted any information online yet. What I did, I put a question on my Facebook account whoever heard of that resort or visited the place. To my surprise, one of my friends replied, that one of her officemates went there just a few weeks ago. I didn't wait too long to get answers to the question I posted. Then another friend also responded that he went there with his family. Then in less than an hour I got tips on how to get there, I got information about the place, the accommodation, and a lot of things more than I expected.

So what can you learn from this is that, social media is not only for promoting your business and getting massive traffic to your blogs. There is a ton of information and knowledge at our fingertips. So if there are things you would like to know, try it out on your social networks. Tapping knowledge from social media is like getting personalized answers and the information you'll get is factual, based on real experiences and you can be sure about it because that came from your friends.

Social media is all about having a conversation because it provides a two-way dialogue and allows for real discussion. So if you want to be cleared about something, ask it on your networks.

People may not respond immediately to sales letters. It may take months before they will make any action. So with your stories, they will not forget about your sales letter. They may not need your product at the time they read your sales letter but when the time comes that they would need your product, they would easily recall about your it. While the graphics you provide in your sales letter may catch people's attention, they would even love to read stories that are related to your product.

So to allure people to purchase your product, try injecting energy into your sales presentation. Use stories to hold of their attention.

2009-07-15T23:48:00.000-07:00

One thing you can do best to your customers is to take away their pains. If you are looking for the best strategy in increasing your profits, one excellent way is to realize what causes your customers grief and if you can find a way to solve it, they will be willing to pay you more money.

In general people always want the easiest, the fastest and anything what's more convenient to them. So grab the opportunity by finding what customers want in a product.

How packaging can increase profits

2009-07-13T22:40:00.000-07:00

As a customer, part of choosing the things that I want, is how that thing impresses me the first time I look at it. For example, when buying food, if it has a lot a competitors, first I look for the price then the packaging. Price is the major factor, but I try to look at the packaging if it is worth my money. There were times that I would choose the one over the others because I am pleased by its packaging.

So packaging plays an important factor when you want to increase your profits. People expect how much they could get based on the packaging of your product. If you have exceeded their expectations, then most likely they will keep coming back and get your product. For example, you paid for a $2.00 meal, and you expect it to be minimal and something you’d normally get for $2.00 anywhere else. But if you have added some extra sides and fixins, your customers would be delighted upon seeing they get more. But if you offer them a big box with a small amount of food, for sure they will be disappointed.

You can increase profits with packaging. Proper design of packaging can lure customers to pick your product over your competitors. Every piece you offer to your customers must be valuable to them, so don't give something with empty space.

Short Tail vs. Long Tail Keywords

2009-07-13T00:23:00.000-07:00

When you want to increase your site's visitors, you might be caught up between what type of keywords to use, the short tail or the long tail keywords. Which is which, short tail vs. long term keywords?

An example of long term keywords, Dell Inspiron 1520 midnight blue reviews and for short tail keywords, Laptop reviews. You see the difference? Long tail keywords are more specific than short tail keywords. Short tail keywords are general and basic terms and most often searchers use. But if you would like to target potential buyers to your website, you can be more successful by using long term keywords.

People only use short tail keywords when they search for general information and would only want information. People who knew what they really want are those people searching for specific things and hopefully you can give it to them.

Long tail keywords bring only small traffic on your site but there is less competition and you can rank first page on Google. Only few people are capable to rank high for highly competitive keywords, and those are short tail keywords. If you have specific product to offer, try to optimize your page for that specific term or phrase.

Short tail keywords may have receive many search queries per month but does not necessarily mean that everyone searching for that phrase is looking to buy it. Many studies have proven that the short tail phrases do not provide the best ROI (Return On Investment). Short tail keywords are too broad.

Long tail keywords indicate that people are closer to buying as opposed to that browsing and collecting information. What could've been better than bringing customers in your site who are ready to purchase?

Establishing the value ladder

2009-07-01T00:13:00.000-07:00

When you are running a business, the most important is how much money you can make. But before focusing on the money, providing value to your customers should be the number one goal in your business. Money should only follow. So if you want to create a long term relationship with your customers, focus on building a value ladder than focusing on making the money.

Why focus on value? Consider this, people will pay different prices for the same content packaged in different ways. For example, a Think and Grow Rich book sells at $9.97, but more people are willing to pay more for a CD that costs $97, It's the same content delivered in a different way. But you can use a CD anywhere, while driving or doing exercise. It is easier than reading a book. So calculate the price difference. Establishing the value ladder is like giving value to your customers, provide something beneficial for them and more beneficial on your part.

Here's how you build a value ladder:

* The bottom step of the ladder is text—an e-book or a hard copy book. People will pay the least amount of money for a book, and it will probably cost you much time and effort to write it.

* The next step is audio. Same content, but people will pay a little more because it’s easier than reading a book. In other words you jump up from a book to CD courses.

* The next step on the value ladder is video. Here people can watch the presentation, see the power point slides, and watch you give examples on DVD. And, yes, they’re willing to pay more for that.

* Next come seminars. This is a live setting where people can ask questions, and you can explain things better in response. You provide more value, and you can charge more for it.

* The next step is live training, like one-on-one coaching. People have one-on-one access to a coach, which means again higher value.

* Then you can become a business partner with others.

* The final step is ownership. You can do franchising—provide the opportunity for people to own parts of your company. Obviously the price increases as the value you provide increases.

To start things off, you can write out an outline to be the backbone for an e-book or some other information product you want to create.

Like building any other product, you list all the things how to build up a product and writing specific details on how to go through with it.

Creating your system outline is like making a product. Processes involved may vary but the outlining of the steps is somewhat similar on how to achieve a good result.

When you have figured out what do you want for in a business, now it's time to do a research. Find out what other people would want to know about your topic and use the information you can get and form it in the outline.

Next, break down these outline into modules or chapter, based on what comes first and next and so on. When you have finished, create headlines for all the modules, like, "How to", "The Secret of", from this point you will be answering all queries and putting all information about your business.

Lastly, make sure that each module can become a product in and of itself. Your sections should have big enough ideas that each can be a project that stands alone if needed.

So that pretty simple, nothing will happen to you if you won't grab a piece of paper and start jotting down about your thoughts. Go and get yourself busy.

Why long-term branding is important

2009-06-03T01:51:00.000-07:00

As a business owner, you want to have a product that will last and eventually earn more profits from it. The challenge now is how are you going to make your product stick to customers' minds. Not all the time people need your product but when they do, you want them to think first of your product and of course purchase it.

That's the importance of long-term branding for your product. So how are you going to market your product and keep reminding people the availability of it without spending too much on advertising. When they need it they know where to look.

Think of other products, some give out some calenders, pens, t-shirts with their product name, logos and pictures. With that little effort, it keeps reminding people of their brand. The fact that these things are useful to people, everytime they see or use it they will be able to see the product name or logo that keeps reminding them everyday that these products are available. It's an excellent way to reach your customers long term.

Think about how you can reach your customers long term. Notice some pizza stores give out ref magnets with their numbers on it? So when you want to call a local pizza, you'll be reminded of that number on ref magnet because you see it everyday. So try to apply this strategy to your company, let people be reminded of your product everyday. Think of ways that people can see you as they do their chores at home, writing on a paper, drinking their coffee or anything. The goal is to be the first choice of people when they need something related to your product.

So whether it’s a calendar, web cam, mouse pad, magnet or anything else, make it useful for your customer and something they’ll be consistently looking at. Be creative and have fun with it! Use any of these examples, or create your own, to generate long-term branding for your company.

So to increase the cash flow in your business, here are four ways to increase profitability and will help your business stay competitive.

First, Increase the price – this is the easiest option you can do. But if you decide to increase your price, be sure to offer a quality product because your customers will be expecting more value. Even if you have just increased a little you still increased the value of what you are receiving.

Second, Increase the number of customers - If now you have 200 customers paying $10 per month and that gives you the same $2000 each month. Maybe it sounds easier said than done, however, just think about how you got your first 100 customers in the first place. All you have to do is reach the same types of people. Increase your budget for advertising and use those same methods that worked before. You could also use a referral system with your existing customers.

Third, Increase usage rates - This strategy is suggesting that your customers increase the average order value. For example, dentists recommended that you brush your teeth twice a day and go in once a year for a check-up and a cleaning. More recently, the recommendation has changed to brushing three times a day and visiting the dentist twice a year. This increase will obviously require that the customer now spend more money on toothpaste, because they’re using more of it; more on toothbrushes, because they ware out more quickly; and double on their yearly dental costs! A whole group of related products increase as usage increases.

Fourth, Decrease cost - Look and check on all your production costs and find what you can decrease or where cuts can be made. If you can find a way to decrease your expenses, your company will be more profitable.

As a business owner, applying these four ways to increase profitability, you will be able to stay competitive, increase your cash flow and become better at what you do.

When you're watching TV what makes you pay attention to commercials? Is it the color used, the design, or the whole presentation? Just like the same when you want people to pay attention to your website and read everything, you create eye-grabbing design for them to read and stay longer on your page.

According to studies, there is only limited time to capture people's interest and they leave your site sooner than you expect. Even how much effort you spent to put your site right in front of their face, they still don't bother to look at it if your website is plain boring no matter how valuable your information is. Just like the person you are speaking with maybe looking at you but not paying attention to what you are saying.

Internet Cartoon character patterned to a guru's life?

2009-02-02T22:54:00.001-08:00

Have you heard of Zoobie Newbie? The cartoon character that is new to internet marketing. Many have asked the creator, Russell Brunson of DotComSecrets.com where did he patterned Zoobie. Some says the cartoon looks like Russell Brunson who has a bald hair. But Russell never mentioned anything related to the creation of Zoobie except that it was created to help the internet marketing newbies in finding what's totally legit in making money online.

Others also said that the stories of Zoobie is patterned to the experiences of Russell Brunson while he was just starting making money online. He wanted to help others, that's why he wants to educate them through showing what are the things you should not do in making money online.

As I was searching online, I happen to read about Justin Brooke, famous for his SiteFlipAcademy.com. Justin was once a VP of Marketing at DotComSecrets.com. He was just a highschool dropout but he is now making millions of dollars online. It also said that Justin went from being a broke burger flipper living in a ghetto to a 6 figure income living the life of his dreams.

Justin Brooke is also a good friend of Russell Brunson. Like the story of Zoobie, Justin also had a hard time making money from the internet. His story is closely related to Zoobie. (Read more story of Justin Brooke). So I conclude that Zoobie Newbie is patterned to Justin Brooke. I know I may be wrong with this. Let's wait for it's creator to tell some stories. But whatever it is, I like Zoobie, its whole concept actually. Its reviews are really helpful. (You may check it out here. Zoobie Reviews)

10 Ways Twitter Can Make Money

2009-01-27T18:14:00.000-08:00

Have you heard about twitter? Do you know that you can make money with twitter? It's more than just letting everyone know about what you are doing. Twitter can definitely change your lives.

How can Twitter make money? That's the billion-dollar question. This question is important for Twitter, as well as its users and global advertisers.

With traditional advertising proving less effective, marketers need new outlets like Twitter and Facebook to help create interest and demand. Here are some ways Twitter can make money.

1. Answer a Person's Product Need

We all search in Google, Yahoo, and MSN because we're looking for something. How do the search engines make money? When people search for products and services.

A similar revenue stream could be Twitter's. Simply ask a question, such as, "Where can I buy the foam things for my iPod headphones?" If a user tweets this, they could get answers from their "followers" -- in other words, real people. Or, if they opted in, they would receive information direct from foam ear bud cover suppliers.

Now, the key for this to work, just like in search, is the relevancy. A good first step would be a simple "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" relevancy button for the supplier tweets. This puts the onus not to spam back on the advertiser, similar to Google's quality score.

You can see why Google is possibly interested in acquiring Twitter, and also why Google launched Google Suggest, which allows users to rate search results and comment on them. Google understands that social media is their most daunting of competition.

2. Be a Recruiting Tool for Job Seekers/Recruiters

Just like Craigslist, Twitter could have employers pay a small fee to easily tweet their jobs. The user would select which titles and occupations they want to receive tweets for.

3. White Label Twitter Functionality for Fortune 500 Companies

Fortune 500 companies don't understand the Web, but think they do. These companies believe they need micro-blog functionality to keep up with the "Web 2.0 times." Don't believe big companies do this? American Airlines and Lufthansa unsuccessfully tried to build their own social networks.

Or going back to the '90s, remember when every company wanted to build out their own portal? AT&T thought everyone would make their My AT&T page instead of MyYahoo. A company called MyWay (part of Diller's IAC) made some serious bucks off these portal wannabes.

4. Analytics Packages for Companies

Break down the conversations occurring within Twitter into digestible data. The categories can be as simple as: Bad Review, Good Review, Product Question, Top Complaints, etc. The challenge here is that a third party may come along and offer this service for free (e.g., Google Analytics).

5. Local Coupon Pushes

This is probably the most obvious. Someone can simply ask for restaurant specials nearby and be pushed digital coupons.

Due to these tough financial times, visits to coupon related sites were up 33 percent, according to comScore. Cellfire ran a test with retail grocery client Kroger and saw mobile coupon redemption as high as 20 percent.

The time is right for this on Twitter. Other researcher indicated that 16 percent of all buyers wouldn't make a purchase these days with some form of coupon or incentive.

6. Micro-payments for Answers to Questions

Willing to pay 75 cents for the best answer to: "Trying to register my Mac & iTunes so I can rent a movie, but I can't figure out where to do this on the iTunes Menu - please help!"? Some people certainly are.

7. Analytics Packages for Individuals, Small Business

Just as it's helpful for big businesses, it would be very useful for journalists, reporters, authors, etc., to be able to easily get a sense of what the public likes and dislikes about their work.

8. Quickly Find Sources for Reporters/Bloggers

Writers on a deadline can pay a subscription to easily be connected to the proper professionals to answer questions germane to their story or post. Professionals would register with the service to make themselves available for the free publicity.

9. Capture Revenue from Wireless Carriers

It's in the carriers' best interest to have many text messages flying across their networks. The wireless carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) could offer a $5 all-you-can-tweet (has a nice ring to it, no pun intended) monthly package.

10. Premium Service

If you launch a version with paid advertising, then you can launch a premium service that scrubs all the ads -- say $4 per month for an advertising-free Twitter.

Item 10 may be counter-intuitive. The key (and challenge) to all of these ideas: they need to be incorporated into the Twitter experience and enhance it rather than being interruptive detriments. If this isn't done properly, then competitors like Tumblr, Publr, Yammer, Six ApartPluck, etc. could capitalize on any missteps. (Pownce),
