Advantages:

Return on Investment ————————— [...]]]> There are many advantages and disadvantages involved when
comparing PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising and SEO (Search Engine
Optimization). I will outline the advantages and disadvantages
below:

Advantages:

Return on Investment
—————————
CPC is a very effective marketing tool. The efficiency of the
advertising is easy to track, therefore making the return on
investment (ROI) figures easy to determine. ROI is determined by
how many click-throughs resulted in a sale. Unlike print
advertising, where a company may spend thousands of dollars on
one ad that very few people may see, CPC allows business owners
to see exactly how many people clicked on the ad and what
percentage of those decided to purchase something. If the revenue
exceeds the costs involved with getting the customers to the
site, then the business is making money.

Auto-Bidding
—————————
Many CPC engines are now offering "auto-bidding" to make things
even easier for their clients. If Company A puts in a maximum bid
of 10 cents, they have determined their limit per click. However,
at the moment they may only be paying five cents. If Company B
decides that they want to move to the number one spot and ups
their click-through rate to six cents, the auto-bidding feature
will up Company A’s bid to seven cents so that they will remain
in the first position. And they didn’t have to constantly monitor
the situation.

Attracting Visitors
—————————
CPC is the most direct way to attract visitors to a site.
Choosing specific keywords means that you can specifically target
different types of consumers based on which keyword they type in.
By promoting more targeted keywords, you are much more likely to
attract someone who is interested in purchasing, rather than
promoting a broad search term in which individuals tend to type
when they are looking for information only

Increasing Branding
—————————
50% of sales occur when a customer visits a Web site for the
first time. The other 50% generally occurs on subsequent visits.
If a customer sees a company listed at the top of the sponsored
links section, chances are that business will get the sale. But
even if the sale isn’t made right away, there is still the
advantage of branding — building awareness of the site for
future needs.

Having Full Control
—————————
Advertisers choose the terms that describe their company; what
the cost of the term is worth; how much they are willing to pay
each day; and how long the campaign will last. All of this is
managed on their own time, not set by deadlines created by an
outside source.

Disadvantages:

Budget Limitations
—————————
Because businesses only have so much to spend on their
campaigns, they need to set a budget for not only how much they
will pay for each click, but also what their daily maximum will
be. Because there is a set limit on the money that can be spent,
this also limits the amount of exposure the ad will have. Once
the daily maximum has been reached, the ad is no longer shown and
potential customers could be lost.

For those on limited budgets, this can mean that some of the
larger players will gain more exposure because of their financial
ability to pay more per click. But having the budget doesn’t
necessarily mean becoming number one. It takes patience,
determination, creativity, keyword selection and daily analysis
to be successful.

Just Looking…
—————————
Just because someone clicks on a link, it doesn’t necessarily
mean that they will buy. Some people are just doing some research
and may click through to see what else is being

Click-Fraud
—————————
It is said that anywhere between 10-15% of all clicks you
receive is click-fraud. This means that you only have 85% of your
clicks to try to convert a visitor into a customer. Click-fraud
will always be around as your advertisers click on your ads,
click-farms exists, and people continue to use the content
networks. If you want to limit the amount of click-fraud, avoid
the use of the content network as this traffic is where most of
the click-fraud is derived.

All in all, both methods can be very effective, however you are
at the mercy of Search Engine algorithms if you decide to use SEO
techniques. One day you could have a top-listing and then the
next day it could be removed from the search results entirely.

Internet Marketing is like any other business [...]]]> Does everyone that attempts to become an Internet Marketer
succeed? No, in fact approximately 90% of all Internet Marketers
fail. Why is this? I have given this a lot of thought and come up
with a few answers as to why so many people fail when trying to
become a successful Internet Marketer.

Internet Marketing is like any other business – it requires a
lot of work. People that get into Internet Marketing may think
that it is the “easy street” to success and wealth, but this is
far from the truth. There are many programs that “entice”
people to sign-up with the thought that they will be able to
“get rich quick”. Well, I can tell you from experience, if
you are not willing to think and work hard, whether it be a
retail business or an Internet Marketing business, chances are
very good that your business will not flourish to its full
potential, often times not succeeding at all. If you are willing
to dedicate a bit of time to this then you are that much more
likely to become successful within any business, especially
Internet Marketing.

Another reason that many people fail is because they don’t
understand who their customers are. The problem is many new
advertisers’ set-up a webpage or campaign trying to deliver the
wrong audience the wrong product. Image trying to sell lemonade
to someone on a snowy day in Chicago? This is the same mistake many
new marketers are making by not targeting their audience. They
are spending their time and money with no return.

Having the ability to connect with your customers and determine
what they want is a key to becoming a successful Internet
Marketer. What does the customer really want? In essence, you are
a customer yourself so this should be very easy.

There are proven success techniques and strategies that can give
you the upper hand to become part of the 10% that do become
successful. In fact, there is one report that will help you
eliminate your competition and learn the best advertising
techniques. It is called “Beating Adwords” …

(http://internettweet.com/go/beatad),
and if you have it in your library, you are much more likely to
succeed. Starting out as a new marketer with no knowledge of the
industries or how to make the Internet your profit engine is one thing.

Starting out with a solid Internet Marketing foundation that consists
of valuable Internet Marketing techniques and strategies is a formula
for success.

Get yourself a good resource to build your foundation, and then
begin building your business using the strategies that you have
learned. Internet Marketing is not difficult and with a little
work and some creative thinking you can make some great profits
online.

… in Less Than an Hour…
That Will Make You Money For Months To Come

Having an article published is one of the fastest and easiest ways to build your credibility as an industry expert. At the end of the each article you are given the opportunity to gain free exposure for your online business or affiliate program.

More and more people are realising the true power of having their articles published in eZines and Newsletters. And the good news is nearly all the webmasters with auto-responders and publishers of eZines are crying out for well written content to send to their subscribers.

It’s a little bit like the traditional magazine world. “Editors love filling the pages of the magazines with adverts, but find it a real pain in the butt to add any solid editorial content.” Now ain’t that a shame!

In this article we are going to go over the key elements of writing a successful article and how to get it noticed by publishers. We will also go over how to turn an article into an unstoppable profit generator, even if you don’t have your own product or service. That’s right; you don’t need your own product or service to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

Research Before Choosing A Topic

When most writers write their articles, they only write about what they want to write about. This is not an effective way to write an article. The most effective and recommended way to write an article is to write one on a topic that your targeted market is already interested in. To find out what kind of article your targeted market is interested in, will require some research.

You should always do the research before you actually pick a topic to write about. When researching for your article you should try going to forums that cover your targeted market. Observe to see what they are talking about and even looking for. The best approach to use, is to find a problem, then write an article that resolves the problem.

By using this approach you are showing your dedication as a problem solver. When you help people resolve their problems and/or endeavours, you will strengthen your credibility and then the profits will soon follow.

Article Title

Choosing the title of your article will be one of the most important decisions you will make and will determine whether or not it will be read. You need to take your time, when it comes time for you to select an article title and it will require you to do some brainstorming.

Your article title should reach out and grab the reader’s attention and compel them to want to read it immediately. The best thing to do when trying to come up with an article title is to write the biggest benefit that your reader will receive while they are reading it. The biggest benefit may not be the exact article title, but it is a good place to start.

When I choose a title for an article I write down several before I initially select a one. So don’t choose just one title, write down several different ones, get the feel of the word variations, and tweak the weak areas.

Content

Most of the articles out there are nothing more than an abstracted sales pitch or material that does not contain any valuable information, therefore is useless to the reader. The best way to get your article read, is to educate the reader. Any good article will be educational to their readers and have some sort of value. If you can’t sell your article, then don’t publish it.

If you publish a poorly written article, then people will not read it. This will have an impact on your credibility and on any future articles you publish, so do it right the first time by educating them.

Promote

If you want to make some cash with your article, then at the end of it, will be the time to promote your product, service, or affiliate program. Make sure that the product, service, or affiliate program is relevant to the article though.  (you’d be surprised at how many people get this wrong.)

Not sure, let me give you an example, I previously wrote an article that was entitled “How Choosing The Wrong Email Format To Broadcast Your Message… Could Mean Disaster” (http://nick-james.com). In this article I discussed the advantages and disadvantages of text and html email formats. At the end of the article I presented an auto-responder that is capable of performing both formats, if the reader decides to purchase the product mentioned, I receive a sales commission.

If you promote a product, service, or affiliate program that corresponds with an article, your chances of getting a click through is very high. If you don’t have a product or service that corresponds with the article, then I recommend finding an affiliate program that does.

Sales referrals generated through affiliate programmes like these can continue to pay the author for well over a year after the article was originally written.

And it all starts with writing between 300 and 800 words. Think you can do it?

For some extra tips about writing your first article for profit and promotion take a look at my recent article “I Have Nothing To Say.” (http://nick-james.com)

Most of the work is done up front, and then you just add to it every little while. If you’re getting alot of traffic and/or sales, then you need to put all of your focus on that site to get what you can out of it.

Niche websites are little sites that you can setup using wordpress. Normally about 5-7 pages and promoting one product. They can bring you in a consistent income, sometimes for years! It all depends on how you tend to them through fresh incoming links and updated material. Some do nothing while Others do well. Your hope is that one (or more) does great!

Also, you need to "ping" after every post to your blogs, niche website, or even within your squidoo account. Pinging let’s search engines know that you have fresh content on the net. The spiders then come to crawl your site.

Google "ping" to find out more.

Using the free Wordpress.org site means that you will need a host for your sites. There are a ton of hosts out there, but the host you want will support "Fantastico". This enables you to upload your wordpress software at the click of a button.

A host will cost you about $10 a month. Your other expense will be for domain names. For one whole campaign, you’re looking at purchasing two domain names, one for your wordpress site and the other for your products affiliate link. This will cost you about $20 a year.

Before you read any further, let’s just find out if creating niche websites is for you!

Can you see yourself focusing on one subject for a week or two and then switching gears and throwing all your attention into a new subject?

If you think you can, then maybe this is for you. Alot of people can’t do this. They need something that they are passionate about and that’s it. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that and actually I would advise you to search for topics that do interest you. Of course, you need to dig down deep into the subject to see if there actually is a market there.

Okay, let me give you a quick rundown on how creating niche websites work!

It’s as easy as going to Clickbank, (which is a place where you can promote other people’s products and get a percentage of the sale), searching and choosing a product to promote and then grabbing your hoplink(affiliate link). This link is one that you’ll want to purchase a domain name for. Once you get that domain name, you forward that hoplink to it, you can do this at the site where you purchase your domain name. Hoplinks are generally pretty long and ugly. You want to look professional, so make them nice and neat.

When choosing your product, stay away from fad products and don’t choose a product who’s gravity is sky high! Yes, it’s nice to know that affiliates are making some money off of the product, but that also means that the competion will be stiff.

We want to, kind of, fly under the radar. Also, before you grab your hoplink from the product your going to promote, go to google and type in "google keyword tool".

Click on it, it’s free. Check to see if you can find some good longtail keywords for the product you’re looking to promote. We want keyword phrases that are RELEVANT to what you will be promoting. VERY RELEVANT!

Enter a broad keyword. look for keyword phrases that have about 1,000 to 1,500 monthly searches and low competition. Dig down deep, try to find about 5 or 6 really good longtail keywords.

Think about what you want your site to look like, as far as the pages go and what you’d like each to say. I say that because you’re site will be about 5 or 6 pages and each page will be optimized with one of those keywords. Title, first sentence of the first paragraph, the "about" page, and maybe 2 or 3 sprinkled throughout the rest of the page.

Now go grab your hoplink.

You’re going to be sending people to that hoplink(which has been forwarded to the purchased domain name, which, by the way, should also be relevant to your topic, having the keyword phrase in the name would be ideal) from your niche website.

You’re going to be sending people to your niche website from Squidoo via another domain name, this one being your niche website domain name. So, on Squidoo, you’re going to send people to the niche website using that domain. But, on your main website, you’re going to send people to the product sales page using the hoplink domain. Kapeesh? Did I even spell that right? Haha!

Google loves Wordpress and Squidoo. This is why most ALL of your links will go straight to your Squidoo lenses first.

Do the same thing with your Squidoo campaign as you did with your niche website; create a lens for each longtail keyword.

Now start sending traffic to each lens. Take each keyword phrase and write articles around it, send the links to your Squidoo lens page and to your niche website page. create a blog or two and link to your lens page and your niche website page. Go to Wetpaint and set up a page, you probably can guess where I’m going to tell you to link to, haha!

The bottom line is this; pick some ways to generate traffic and let that become your routine. Soon, you’ll start pumping out these sites. Like I said before, some will stick and some won’t. Don’t fret over it. Just keep creating more and more.

Also, remember this; when one starts getting some good traffic or sales, stop everything else, go to that site and expand it. Do more articles, make more posts, post in more bookmarking sites, create some videos.

Oh and by the way, once you do start generating some steady cash flow; you can purchase some software and/or outsourcing to get these sites up even faster!

Have fun with this!
