Draw Thousands of People to your Web Site – Like Steel is Drawn to a Magnet!

Here’s something that folks may not be aware of. There are millions of people on-line, but a lot of those people are on-line while they are at their job and they’re listening to the radio shows while they’re working or goofing off.

This is the secret that a lot of people don’t realize – There are millions of people who are on-line that should be working. They’re behind their desk pretending they are working, and they are really on the Internet just surfing around and ripping off their employer. That can be good news for you if you’re on one of these radio talk shows. While they’re supposed to be working, they are surfing your web site and spending some money with you.

What you have to do is make people on the Internet want to keep coming to your web site. We’ve coined this the “money magnet” web site. You need to create a “money magnet” web site – one that’ll draw thousands of people to your web site like steel is drawn to a magnet. And here are just a few ideas to help you do just that, and keep people coming back to your web site!

Start a discussion group on your web site. Become famous within your niche. There are people that are doing this right now. They’ve got web sites, and within their niche, all of the people come to their web site, constantly, to be involved in the discussion group. No reason why you can’t have one, too.

Number two, put on as many links as you can that are related to your web site, or your niche, of people that are selling different things or have different information, they are not competing directly with you. You’ve got as many links as possible on your web site. People come to your web site almost as if it’s a freeway on-ramp.

Most web sites are like dead ends. They go to your web site and it’s a dead end. They can go no further. A “money magnet” web site is a web site people come to so they can go to other places. You have constantly changing links and new places that your customers can go to. They’ll keep coming back to your web site because that will make it so much easier for them to go to different web sites that are of interest to them.

A third idea is an electronic newsletter. You would keep the newsletter in your web site. People could download it if they wanted to, but they had to come to your web site to get it. You’ve got a new newsletter all the time, and you’re constantly changing that. Another idea is to have contests. Maybe you have a contest every month, and you try to make it fun. These ideas give people a compelling reason to come to your site. Most web sites don’t have any compelling reason for people to go to them. By doing these, and other things, you give people a lot of reasons to keep coming back.

Most web sites have zero content. Your “money magnet” web site needs to have a lot of content. Most web sites never change. Somebody goes through it one time, they see what you’ve got, and there’s no reason to go back. Your “money magnet” web site is constantly changing. It’s exciting! People want to come back.

Now, if you ask a hundred different marketing experts what marketing is, they’ll tell you a hundred different things. They can all be right in their explanations.

The way we define marketing is very simple. We’d like for all of our readers just to think this through. It’s two-fold.

One, it’s all the things you do to get a new prospect to do business with you one time.

Two, all the things you do to get that prospect coming back again and again.

Now, electronic marketing is just using a computer, your web site, and the Internet to do those two things. You’re getting new customers to buy from you one time and, then, you’re keeping them coming back again and again. Once you truly understand this principle, it can make you a tremendous amount of money.

There is no better way to use that principle than creating this “money magnet” web site that we’ve talked about. It’s going to take a little bit of work for you to do it, but it’s going to be worth it. It’s going to compel new prospects to, first of all, come to your site. For all those links that you’re putting out from your site to other people’s sites, you’re making these people also put a connecting link to your web site. So, you’re getting new people in, plus you’re getting people the information, the products, the services, and the things that they want. You’re establishing value with those people. You’re getting them to come back again and again.

There is a compelling reason to come back. Once they come back a few times, that lets you build a strong bond with your customers. You can use that strong bond and that strong relationship to really get extremely wealthy. This is the potential here. The formula for getting wealthy is real simple: you get enough people to re-buy from you enough times, at a large enough profit per transaction, and you’re going to get rich. It’s that simple! This overall concept can make it happen.

Dont Pay Thousands for Business Design Software When Its This Easy

If you’re just beginning to learn about Affiliate Marketing, you have much to learn. Much of it, including creating a blog at a free blogging site, designing your website, or writing interesting articles is fairly easy to learn. OK, perhaps designing your own website isn’t so easy for most people who are beginning to learn about affiliate marketing. If you really intend to make affiliate marketing pay well, though, you will definitely need to launch a professional site. After trying a wide variety of business design software designed for business websites, I think I have finally found the best web building software on the market.

Developing a website without the right business design software is extremely challenging. If you cannot build a site easily, you will soon become overwhelmed and decide to give up. You won’t even get started properly, and you will have wasted all your time and trouble for nothing.

Maybe it’s not so much that building a web site is hard. As a new affiliate, it might be that money is the object, or that business design software might be difficult to learn and takes a lot of time to use.

FrontPage used to be the way to go, but it’s not available anymore. And I know that Dreamweaver is VERY expensive and difficult to learn if you don’t know about CSS or HTML. I had to buy the ‘Dreamweaver for Dummies’ book and I still didn’t get it – and I’m NOT a dummy!

The reason I decided to share this with my readers, though, was because I experienced the same problems when I first started. When I was ready to give up, I discovered XSitePro business design software, and I like this program better than any others.

Let me quickly share my XSitePro review notes with you; I definitely recommend it as the best web building software available. It took me just a little while to learn, and then I was able to launch new websites easily, and it took only a very short time to locate profitable marketing niches. In addition, I was able to help several small business owners use this software to launch their business sites quickly. Because they owned their own sites, they also saved by avoiding the cost of contact an expensive design expert any time they required a simple change to the site.

If the idea of creating a banner for your site seems difficult, just choose one of those featured on the XSitePro business design software. You can choose from several different banners, so select the one that offers your site the professional look you want. If you want to see an example, visit grazinimarketing.com. I created this website by making minor changes to a template I chose.

7 Lessons I Learnt Whilst Losing Thousands Internet Marketing

SEVEN LESSONS I LEARNT WHILST LOSING THOUSANDS INTERNET MARKETING

By Alan Cutler – alan@leadershiptalks.com

This is the story of a novice internet marketer who has spent a
miserable, frustrating and expensive twelve months learning the
lessons of selling on the internet – the hard way! However, he
believes that he has turned the corner and is now looking
forward to, at least modest, future profits. That person is me,
and I would like to share my experiences with you in the hope
that your journey will be less painful than mine. I am certainly
not suggesting that the lessons I learnt are definitive, nor
will they apply to every one else who embarks on a campaign of
internet marketing. I am merely recounting what happened to me
and the problems I encountered.

My journey started in November 2004 when I attended a conference
with a speaker who was, by his own admission, an internet
millionaire. He, like me, was a professional speaker but he had
diversified into selling his products and services to this
world-wide market. Like many of my colleagues, I had previously
heard bits and pieces about internet marketing and I was hungry
to learn more. It is true to say that I was captivated by his
story and, especially, by the rich pickings that he said were
out there on the net, for relatively little time and expense.
‘Make money in your sleep’ was a phrase he used. I was inspired
- well, who wouldn’t be by the prospect of working at home for a
few hours a day whilst watching the money flow in 24/7! I bought
his pack of tutorials, ebooks, CDs etc for 0 – my first
investment in this Brave New World.

Interestingly, I write this article the day after attending
another meeting that had a speaker again telling us how easy it
is to make serious money on the internet. Whilst I do not doubt
that such people indeed do make a very good living for
relatively little effort, believe me, it is not easy! Making
money selling products or information on the net is not a quick
fix! Like any new business (for that is what it is), it takes
time and effort to learn all its intricacies. Unless you have a
product that people want to buy; a web site that sells it
effectively; and a means of driving lots of people to it, you
will end up throwing good money after bad. Hence my first lesson

Lesson No 1. Do not believe all you hear from internet experts
who tell you how easy it is to make your fortune. It isn’t!

Let me continue my story. So, off I went on my new venture. I
eagerly read the information that I had just bought, along with
lots of other advice and guidance from internet marketers. Many
recommended additional software that would make selling on the
web more effective. I took their advice and bought some of the
products they championed, for example a programme for making
attractive website banners, and another that promised to produce
amazingly effective sales pages for the website that I was to
produce. However, the banners I made were far from attractive
and when I sought advice from the company I bought the software
from, they failed to reply. As for the sales page generator, it
did teach me some good lessons but was far too inflexible and
restrictive so I soon reverted to writing my own copy.

What I did not realise at the time was that the internet
marketers who were recommending these products were affiliates:
they received a commission from every sale resulting from their
recommendation. I now know that affiliate marketing is big
business and can produce significant income flows. In fact, let
me put my cards on the table: I am going to recommend two
products to you later in this article and I will gain a
commission if you take my advice. However, these are products
that I truly believe in and have been extremely helpful to me. I
believe that they are worth every cent to someone serious about
making money. You can, of course, take my word for that, or not.
At least I have been up-front about it!

Lesson No 2. Beware of advice from ‘experts’ who may be more
interested in making money as an affiliate than in helping you.

Of course, to make money in any business you have to have a
product that people want to buy. What was I going to sell? Well,
I have always been fascinated by quotes – words of wisdom from
those who can add so much meaning in so few words. Indeed, my
first book is entitled ‘Leadership Quote Unquote’ and contains a
host of quotes from, as my publisher added to the book cover,
‘world figures – the famous, the infamous and the downright
dastardly!’

Imagine my excitement when I researched how many people were
looking for quotes on the internet. Google estimated that over
5,000 people every day searched for an appropriate quote. I
estimated that if I sold my book for and one in a hundred
people who clicked on my website bought my book, I would make
9,014 profit a year. Wow! Even if only a modest one in three
hundred bought it I would still make ,684. Wouldn’t you be
excited by that income earning potential?

To cut a long story short, whilst lots of people do regularly
seek out appropriate quotes, I now know that very few are
prepared to pay for them! Why should they, when they can get
them for free on other websites? I am now just about breaking
even with this particular campaign – a situation I am prepared
to accept for the time being as the website does provide me with
other spin-off benefits. However, I have subsequently
diversified and am now selling a number of other information
products, using a different website for each – some more
successful than others. Inevitably, not all sales campaigns will
be initially successful, hence you have to continually fine-tune
several aspects of the marketing process to gradually improve
their effectiveness.

Lesson No 3. It might sound obvious – but make sure that you
sell something that people want to buy.

Note: The purpose of this article is for me to share my
experiences with you. It is not designed to be an internet
marketing tutorial. I am not, therefore, going to go into detail
about technicalities such as website design, Google AdWords,
Google AdSense, market testing, copy writing etc. That said if I
have whetted your appetite and you do want to learn more, email
me at alan@leadershiptalks.com and I will send you a free ebook
all about creating successful sales websites, entitled ‘The
Three Page Site Builders Manual’ ( I make no money by doing
so!). Also, if you are really serious about creating a
profitable internet marketing campaign consider checking out the
specialist guidance of Perry Marshal, especially his ebook
entitled ‘The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords’. This is one
of the two products that I really believe in and that I
mentioned previously. A link for you to learn more about him is
provided at the end of this article.

The next step on my journey, having deciding that selling quotes
was to provide the basis of my pension fund (!), was to design a
website to sell my ebook. The most well-known website design
software, and the one that was recommended to me, was Microsoft
FrontPage so that is what I bought. Unfortunately, I found it to
be extremely confusing, frustrating – not at all user-friendly.
I did make a website but it was far from professional. In fact,
a friend of mine who is a successful internet marketer politely
commented that he would certainly not buy anything from a site
like mine!

He went on to tell me that he had recently discovered a new
website design programme called XSitePro that is two thirds the
price of Front Page and infinitely easier to use. In fact, he
was in the process of redesigning all his many sites using it.
Having faith in his advice, I shelled out 7, bought the
software and was absolutely blown away by it! XsitePro is
designed specifically for people who sell on the internet. It is
so easy to use that I am now churning out professional-looking
websites in less than half a day – and they work. In fact,
having not sold one of my ebooks for weeks beforehand on my
FrontPage site, I launched my new site, using XSitePro, and sold
one within half an hour. I could hardly believe it!

Hence, my fourth piece of advice. I make no apologies for being
so direct – if you want to produce easy websites that sell,
click on the link at the end of this article and check out
XSitePro. The link takes you to a web site that I have made to
tell the world about, what I believe to be, the best web site
design software available today.

Lesson No 4. Don’t waste you time with other website design
software, buy XSitePro.

So, once you have designed your website, you will need to
ensure that your potential customers can find it. Essentially,
you have two choices: work hard at driving it up the search
engine rankings or pay for the privilege by using Google
Adwords. Perry Marshall’s ebook ‘The Definitive Guide to Google
Adwords’ goes into great depth about making the most of Adwords
but, essentially, you bid to have an advert promoting your
website featured on the right-hand side of a Google search page
as a ’sponsored link’. However, you only pay when people click
on your ad.

Most experts will argue that using Pay Per Click (Google
Adwords) is the best way to promote websites of limited size
like the ones internet marketers use to promote their products.
And that is what I did.

Unfortunately, though, I did not pay sufficient attention to
setting up my sites. I accepted Google’s recommended daily
budget; set my pay-per-click rates too high; advertised in too
many countries and advertised in its content network as well as
its search network. Perry Marshall’s ebook explains all these
settings in fine detail. I only wish I had bought it in the
early stages because I ended paying much more than I needed to.

So, I had set up my Google AdWords campaign and was up and
running – but was not selling any products. I was, however,
getting hundreds of clicks a day, so was ever hopeful. My wife
and I then went away on holiday and I put my internet marketing
campaign out of my mind, in the confident knowledge that when I
returned my In Box would be full of orders.

Imagine my horror when I returned to find no product orders but
a 0 Google AdWords bill. It doesn’t take much time to
accumulate those costs when you are getting hundreds of clicks a
day; you are selling no products; and your daily Google budget
is set at !

The lesson here is crucial. In the early stages at least, you
MUST keep a close, daily eye on your Google Adwords account. As
time goes on and you have fine-tuned your account you can leave
it for a day, or two, but initially you must not let it get out
of control.

Lesson No 5. Keep very close control of your Google AdWords
account in its early stages

I mentioned previously that you must fine-tune your ad campaign
if you want to maximise its sales potential. The critical factor
here is the Click Through Rate (CTR) – how often people click on
your ad when it is displayed on a page of Google search results.
If your ad features 100 times when people enter, for example,
‘inspirational quote’ as a Google search term and two of them
actually click on your ad the CTR would be 2%. Improving the CTR
is important to maximising your sales potential.

This is a very detailed process where specific changes, for
example trying out different ad formats or even using capital
letters in certain areas of your ad, can make a real difference
to your CTR. Perry Marshall is an accomplished expert on using
Google Adwords and I have, personally, learnt a great deal from
his ebook.

Lesson No 6. Work hard at fine-tuning your Google Adwords
campaigns to maximise their CTR and, if your website and your
product are attractive, your revenue will gradually increase

And so to the last lesson that I have learnt. Going back to
where I started, I have realised that making money on the
internet is not, as I told my wife, ‘the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow’. However, I do believe that there is serious
money to be made by people like me who are prepared to work hard
at ensuring the three essential elements are in place, namely:

* A product that people are looking for and are prepared to buy
* A website that is effective in selling that product * A sales
campaign that directs people towards your website

Personally, over the last twelve months, I have struggled on all
three counts, and have thus paid the price. However, I have
learnt my lessons and am confident that I will now begin to reap
at least some of the riches that definitely are out there on the
World Wide Web.

I have been told that my experiences are not unusual. Surprise,
surprise: contrary to what some internet experts tell us, very
few people strike gold immediately. It takes time and a lot of
hard work and determination. It does not surprise me, therefore,
that many people who embark on the journey as I did, fell at the
early hurdles. My final lesson, and piece of advice, is
therefore to ensure that your internet strategy is sound and
then work hard at making it successful.

Lesson No 8. Don’t give up – make it work.

Here are the links for the two products that I am happy to
recommend. To see the website I made to promote XSitePro, please

Can You Get Thousands of Backlinks?

Can You Get Thousands of Backlinks?

If you own a website and understand how the search engines work then you know you need to get thousands of backlinks to be competitive in any market. With established websites already set at great page ranks on the main search engines a newer site owner has to be smart, creative and hardworking to get ahead in the internet business! So how does one be smart and creative in terms of website rankings?

The answer firstly is not just about backlinks. It has been estimated that about 80% of what makes up how popular your website is with a search engine is backlinks leaving only 20% of the rest of the formula as relevant, original content which is what engines like Google say they crave. This leads many people to believe that 80% of their effort should be put into acquiring backlinks … often in the wrong way.

The problem most people starting out on the internet business roller coaster is that they think that all links are the same. I mentioned that search engines like Google crave relevance and originality and this is true of links as well. Having a backlink from a site dedicated to garden equipment linking to your site on fashion clothing design is not relevant for example. Having a backlink from multiple pages that are duplicates of each other also does not work because the lack of originality then comes into play.

So with all of these restrictions on having a quality link that counts how can you get thousands of backlinks when it feels like there are not thousands of backlinks to be had? There are some options, long term you can write articles, submit your site to directories and cultivate friendships with other sites for backlinks but in the short term without any dodgy business there are services around that follow the guidelines that the search engines love without resorting to “black hat” techniques that can generate backlinks for you.

Free Twitter Tools: Tools For Twitter to Automate, Systmatize, and Amass Thousands of Followers!

admin    Twitter Marketing     Amass, Automate, Followers, Free, Systmatize, Thousands, Tools, Twitter

Okay, so I’ll admit it. I wasn’t the first to jump on this Twitter Bandwagon. I just didn’t understand the point of it. C’mon… what can someone possibly say in just 140 characters?

Twitter itself is a microblog. I consider is a condensed personal website: a place for me to share my thoughts, feelings, recommendations and insights, while connecting with like minded individuals.

In a few minutes per day, you can amass hundreds if not thousands of followers in a matter of weeks. In fact, I’ve only been actively using twitter for one month, and I already have 2000 followers! Can you believe that?

But like anything I look for tools.

Free Twitter Tools that can help us systematize, automate, customize… the whole works!

I found some great tools that I wanted to share with you today with how to implement twitter in your day-to-day life, without becoming a nusance or a hassle.

Free Twitter Tool #1 – TweetDecktweetdeck.com

I had no idea HOW to navigate twitter or retweet or DM or whatchamacallit til I downloaded TweetDeck. It’s an application you can have going on in the background of your computer that puts your twitter account into easy to read columns. Column one is your following’s tweets. Column two is incoming messages/retweets. Column three is private direct messages (or DM’s).

You can also tweet directly from TweetDeck, customize with beautiful colors, and interlink with Facebook status updates.

Free Twitter Tool #2 – TweetLatertweetlater.com

Ahhh…the productivity tool for busy tweeple.~ Schedule tweets for a specific day and time. “Set it and forget it!”~ Track keywords in tweets~ Automate DM’s to new followers of yours~ Unfollow those who unfollow you – automatically!~ Purge your DM inbox to keep it tidy… and so much more!

I love TweetLater because I am able to schedule my set tweets for the day. These include specific quotes, blogs, articles, Bible verses that I want to share. Systematically and consistently each day. Then, throughout the day and week, I can go in my twitter and add random tweets and talk to people… but I’m not being sporadic. I find that consistency/practicability works best with Social Media.

Free Twitter Tool #3 – BubbleTweetbubbletweet.com

You just have to see this. Check out my friend Kary making a BubbleTweet.http://bbltwt.com/bx5id

Free Twitter Tool #4 – Custom Twitter Backgrounds

mytweetspace.comtwitterimage.comtwitwall.comtwitterpatterns.comcolourlovers.com

I read it best: “Generic is only good for prescriptions!”

Twitter currently offers 12 stock backgrounds along with pleasing preset colors for the elements on the page. You can also modify the colors of the overall background, text, links, sidebar background and the sidebar border. The first thing any twitter user should do is CHANGE the generic background, unless you don’t like standing out from the crowd, in which case you can stop reading now.

Make Thousands of Dollars–Strategic Marketing Through Twitter

A lot of us have heard about the term – Viral marketing.  In simple words viral marketing involve leveraging the current social media networks to increase brand awareness. The increase in brand spread occurs through self replicating mechanisms – through bookmarking, commenting, blogging and most interestingly through Twitter tweets.

You can condense meaningful information in Tweets for 140 characters. And start sharing with your followers in just about no time.  The mantra is too Tweet Often and Tweet Quality.

Tweet often ensures that you keep building on the information that you want to share about your product and services. However, this does not mean that you should tweet 100 times a day. Tweet once or twice a day. This would help you develop a follower base. People are more interested in services that are regularly updated.

Tweet Quality ensures that you will offer or seek quality content with substance to it. If you can provide some unique and innovative content, people would simply love you. You will be surprised to note that on your every tweet you will get two to three followers.

So what information should you include in the Tweets? Depending upon the niche and product you should include the following:

It is important to keep your tweets short and simple. This draws more attention from people than the long stories. Remember, Twitter is a micro blogging platform. It is not a Wordpress or Drupal platform where you can go on and on. The secret to success is to keep it short, sweet and effective.

Involve in conversation with your followers. Start to appreciate what they are tweeting. Retweet their tweets; this will help you to build rapport with them. Eventually you will end up developing a loyal follower base. Hence, an interactive platform is created where you and your followers are no strangers. One of the biggest mistake people commit is to make anyone to everyone follow them. This must not be done. There is simply no point to add people who are non active or have no interests in your tweets.

If you have multiple products and services for which you want to use Twitter, create separate accounts per product or a group of products. For example, to market a cell phone site, you can create separate accounts for smart phones, accessories and cell phone news. This helps in maintaining focus and helps building dedicated viral marketing campaigns. Always remember that for each product the audience is different and so are their needs, desires and wants. In today’s economy one size fits all will not take you long way.

Viral marketing is all about spreading information through shared social media. So what is important is to note that people will spread a good word of mouth, if your product is innovative and they can discover value in it. A successful viral marketing campaign will always offer a win-win proposition to consumers and service providers.
