Internet Marketing Blog

What is your problem?!?!

So, first of all – excuse me for the rant – but I just had to blurt, because it is something that is probably one of the biggest mindset blocks to success that I see… and the thing is, fixing it is so brainblowingly simple that… well, to be honest – I think that is what bugs me most, to see people SOOOO close to success – and then just stop – just short of actual breakthrough. 
 

What the heck am I talking about?  
 

Going to offline events.  Now, I hear you saying, “but… we run an online business!  I can network in forums and on Skype, why do I need to get to offline events?”  Funny thing is, every time I head to the airport I have one friend or relative that asks me that question… I mean, I guess it doesn’t make logical sense.  

 

The thing that keeps me going back, is that every single time I go – I always benefit like crazy.  Here is how :)

 

Networking:  It’s no secret – this is probably the biggest way to get the most out of being at these events, but it isn’t just in sticking to the conference rooms.  The REAL juicy stuff gets done in the hallways, or in the local bar.  My hint, if you are totally new to all of this, is to just intro yourself to a few people in the hallways.  Chances are they are just as nervous as you, or – if this isn’t their first conference, they will remember their first – and how scary that can be. 

 

You might get lucky and meet someone that you click with, have something in common with – or could potentially work together with, but if not – don’t give up.  Find the hotel bar and see if you can overhear some chat about Google, FTP, Affiliate, CPA or any of the other buzz words.  No need to totally stalk people or anything.. lol, just say, ‘hey! are you here for the conference?’ and find out what they are up to. 

 

Clear Plan of Attack: When I go to these conferences, I like to have some kind of plan – I fly in from Australia, so I want every minute on the ground to count!  I have this fear of getting onto the plane home and freaking out ’cause I didn’t get anything done… lol.  The month or so before an event, I usually find out who is going (via asking around on places like the warrior forum, or Skype) – and then scheduling catchups with people.  Even the busiest people, if you get in early enough, will usually make room for you for 30 mins.  

 

When you do talk to people, you need something to say to them… lol.  I like to go with at least one project that I am currently working on – and one that we have planned in the future… a launch is great to start conversation, find out what kind of lists people have and then what products they have.  

 

Partner Hunting:  It’s pretty rare for you to have the entire pallet of skills needed to produce great quality stuff and launch them successfully, especially when starting out and the budget might be a little too tight to outsource things you can’t manage.  Something that I find exciting though is that everyone is fantastic at something, you will have your own skills – it might be that you are great at design, or maybe programming, or finding affiliates.  Whatever it is – you can get great at it and just focus on finding people to work with who can fill in the gaps that you can’t, or don’t have time to learn.

 

So, my main rant is when people who live in the same country, sometimes even in the same state – or in some cases even in THE SAME CITY, tell me that they can’t afford to go.  What works for me, is to not think of the cost as an expense, as much as it is an investment – of which, you will see massive returns if you do it right!

 

All the best, 

Cindy

 


mmm… juicy, spicy, healthy…

I am giving ‘healthy’ a bit of a conscious go this year – have decided to set myself a goal of August to reach my goal weight, so lots of work ahead.  The main reasons I am doing it are to have more energy, more focus and fit into a bunch of clothes i have been hanging on to for far too long… haha.  Either that – or head out on a shopping spree… hmm… not a bad idea!!!

 

So, to do that – I am getting more active, I hired a personal trainer to kick my ass around for one session a week – to keep me on track, and then doing a bunch of stuff the rest of the week at home, or at the beach etc.  

 

I am also changing a bit of what I put into my mouth, namely eating more regular meals – kinda get slack during the day and then just totally overeat at night (yeah yeah…. i know… it’s bad.. ) – and also having more alcohol free days a week than ones with a glass of wine (or two.. lol).  

Also!  Started juicing – thanks to a good friend of mine, who is part of the inspiration for the health kick.  He gave me his recipe and I kinda tweaked it with what I had in the house…

 


      So, this is what i put in – yeah, it looks kinda weird, but it tastes really good!  I have like.. around half a bunch of kale, one blood orange, 1 pear, 1 lime, 1 little chilli and a big of ginger. 

 

      I don’t actually have a juicer that works…  I tried using mine and it was a messy disaster of epic proportion – so what i did was throw it all into the blender, with about half a glass of water to get it all moving – until it was mush, and then strain it.  I kinda like doing it this way anyway… I think you get more of the goodness when you can squeeze it dry a bit more. 

 

 

 

   So this was the end result – am lovin the colour in that… 

 

 

spicy juice after

 

 

And the verdict?  It was quite tasty… I think the ‘little’ chilli had a bit too much kick though… should have probably gone with a different type maybe – or just added half, but I like a bit of spice – and LOVE the lime.  Will have to try this one out again I think!

Do you guys have any good juice recipes, or resources for interesting, healthy, juices?   I am always on the look out for more good stuff!

Cheers!

How to Promote ClickBank Products with Article Marketing

Your authors’ box will contain some information about yourself, as well as the link to your website or where you would offer your ClickBank affiliate links or you could link to a ClickBank product directly (if allowed by the article directory). If the article directory does not allow affiliate links, you can purchase a domain name and forward it to the ClickBank product. Make sure that in your authors’ box, you give the readers a strong reason to click on the link in order to find out more information about the product or purchase it. As a reference, you can take a look at other peoples’ author boxes within the directory you are submitting to in order to generate some ideas.

When you have selected a ClickBank product that you would like to promote, you will need to answer one simple question “how will I promote this product?” Article marketing is a very low cost strategy that many ClickBank marketers utilize. Article marketing is a great strategy that is very unique and only available on the web and as far as I know, not available in the offline world in any similar form or shape. In the following steps below, I will show you the things you need to do in order to promote and sell ClickBank products as an affiliate and earn commission.

Make money online by taking advantage of the home based business opportunity listed in my Resources Box below this article.

Choose a ClickBank product that has high demand –

When choosing a product, it is good to choose one that has many marketing tools available for the affiliates. These pre-made marketing tools usually include banners, emails, affiliate website, splash pages, landing pages, text ads, etc. These marketing tools will make your promotions a lot easier as you would already have a lot of the work done for you by the company which will make marketing the product much easier.

If you are already a ClickBank affiliate or someone looking to find out more about how to make money online with ClickBank, you’re in the right place. ClickBank marketplace is the most profitable way to make money by selling information on the internet. This is true if you’re trying to sell ClickBank products as an affiliate or if you list your own digital products with ClickBank and become a merchant. However, there are many things that you should take into consideration when choosing a profitable product to make money online with. In the following steps below, I will give you a few practical ideas that you should strongly consider.

Earn an extra income online by taking advantage of the work from home opportunity listed in my Resources Box below this article.

Write an ebook, create software or put together a report that will sell. Make sure it has a fresh angle that will make it different from any similar products.

Choose a price for your item. Choose a percentage of each sale that will go to anyone who sells the item on your behalf.

Find new ways to market your item. Post information about it in forums and on related websites.

If you want to make Clickbank money you can. In fact, this is where most internet marketers get their feet wet. That’s because it’s so easy to become an affiliate. The problem comes when the newbie marketer sets up a Blogger blog or Squidoo lens and puts in a hoplink and says ta da that’s it! Or so they think. Sorry, it doesn’t work like that except on rare occasions.


Traffic Generation Tips

p The most important thing in any web business is traffic – lots and lots of traffic. The other 1% is what you do with that traffic, but if you have to traffic – you can figure out the rest. What you do with the traffic when it gets to your site could be any number of things. So, the critical step is to generate a steady flow of visitors. /p h2 How, then do you get traffic to your site? /h2 p Here are a few of the most popular way to get traffic to your site – for free: /p ul li Web 2.0 /li li Article Websites /li li Video /li /ul p OK, so how do they work? /p h2 Web 2.0 Methods /h2 p Web 2.0 is the name given to websites that get their content from their users. What this means for you is that you can join into the community and add your own content. The other interesting thing about these sites is that all the search engines (including Google) treat them as “authority sites”. Which means the content on them gets “indexed” faster and with more weight. By placing links to your websites in this content you’ve created, you get traffic from the site and search engine ranking for the keywords you choose. That’s the real benefit of adding content to this sites – search engine ranking means ongoing free traffic. a href=”http://massivetrafficexplosion.com/main.php”How to generate web 2.0 traffic/a is something we’ve only scratched the surface on. I don’t want to be exhaustive – I want to give you an overview of all the methods… /p h2 Article Marketing /h2 p Article marketing really builds on the Web 2.0 concept. Article directories fall under the category of web 2.0 sites. In typical web 2.0 fashion, article sites rely on user-generated content (i.e. your articles). And just like other web 2.0 sites, you get all the SEO benefits from having your content on them. And in addition to this, other users can take your article and place it on their own website. And in return for getting to use your content, these other users include links back to your website that gives you further search engine ranking and more free traffic. In order to get the most a href=”http://massivetrafficexplosion.com/main.php”free traffic/a make sure you: /p ul li Do your keyword research /li li Tailor the content of your article for the keywords /li li Be sure to link to your site on the keywords you’ve chosen. Do this inside the article itself and in your author’s bio. /li /ul h2 Video /h2 p Our discussion would not be complete without talking about video. Just like article directories, video sharing sites also rely on user-generated content. And just as article directories give you great SEO benefits and allow others to redistribute your content on their sites. video sharing sites give you all these same benefits. And if all that wasn’t enough, you also stand a much stronger chance of getting a high search engine ranking for the keywords you want with video than you do with text-based content. /p p Here are just a few a href=”http://massivetrafficexplosion.com/main.php”video marketing tips/a: /p ul li Sign up for YouTube /li li Make your profile uncluttered by turning off all the modules /li li Use the tags in your profile to enter the keywords you want to rank for /li li Add a link to your website /li li Upload at least 1 video /li li For each video use your keywords in the tags, the descriptions and the title /li /ul h2 In closing… /h2 p This is a great overview to get your started generating a href=”http://massivetrafficexplosion.com/main.php”massive traffic to your site/a. /p p img src=’http://cbpirate.massivet.hop.clickbank.net’ height=’1′ width=’1′ border=’0′/ /p


Traffic is King, but this comes FIRST

p The best way to ensure your success is to build automated traffic sources to send you visitors day and night. /p h2 Traffic is useless . . . unless… /h2 p Keyword research is really the first step in getting traffic to your website. Why? Because you have to target these keywords if you are to have any hope of actually generating traffic for them. This means it’s critical to select your keywords properly. /p p A couple things to keep in mind when doing keyword research: /p ul li Are the keywords you’re interested in attainable? You’ll have to analyze the competition and see what’s out there for this. /li li Are these “buying” keywords? Some keywords will bring lots of traffic, but none of them will buy. This is not what you’re looking for. /li li Will these keywords bring affiliates? Nothing brings more buyers like an army of affiliates. So make sure you are also targeting keywords to attract affiliates. /li /ul p Of course, this all takes time if you plan to do it yourself. Hiring someone else to do it costs a lot of money. The upside is that these two factors keep most everyone from even doing their keyword research. The smartest marketers use a href=”http://automatedtraffic.com”website traffic software/a to automate this and other aspects of their business. Using tools like this speed up the process and improve your results, too! /p h2 Only then can you start getting traffic /h2 p Only after doing your keyword research correctly can you start targeting these keywords to get you traffic. /p p Here are a couple of clever ways to do this… /p ul li Something you may not have ever considered is Surveys /li li “Traffic Traps” /li li Video Websites /li /ul h2 Surveys /h2 p The truth is that people really enjoy taking surveys and finding out what other people think. And smart website owners know this, so they will include your survey on their site if you make a good one. It’s a win-win. They get a great perk on their site and you get a link back to yours. The beauty of this is that it generates a href=”http://automatedtraffic.com”website visitors/a for you with no work on your part. This is a sneaky little idea that most people never even think of. The only thing you have to do is think of a novel question for your survey. /p h2 “Help” Websites /h2 p These sites, like answers.yahoo.com are filled with people asking and answering questions for each other. But, like the surveys, that’s not why you’re going to pay attention to these sites. The other thing they can be used for is to get traffic to your site, leads for your business and sales! One thing you can do is to visit sites like Craigslist and Yahoo! Answers and manually extract contact info to contact other users. The good news is that it’s easy to find a href=”http://automatedtraffic.com”website traffic software/a that can do this automatically. These tools put the whole thing on auto-pilot and just deliver the leads to you each day. /p h2 Video Websites /h2 p No doubt you’re aware of YouTube and other video websites. These sites generate massive traffic and people watch over 2 billion videos a day on YouTube alone . If used properly, video sites can get you a href=”http://automatedtraffic.com”more website traffic/a than you know what to do with. /p p And don’t worry if you don’t have any idea of how to make a video. You can even take a webpage or article that you’ve written. Then simply record yourself reading the text and you video the screen with a simple screen capture program. I’ve even seen software that will automatically convert an article to a video! /p h2 The Bottom Line… /h2 p Getting traffic is not that difficult. Use your noodle and come up with things other people aren’t doing. And today there are tons of options for software tools that can help with every part of this process. /p p So, start right now and: /p ul li Do your keyword research /li li Then create some surveys born to go viral /li li Make sure to use the “answer” sites /li li And don’t forget about video /li /ul p/p img src=’http://cbpirate.auttraffic.hop.clickbank.net’ height=’1′ width=’1′ border=’0′/

Did You Win? + Halloween Surprise…

Hey there,

I hope you had a great day yesterday, and are fully pumped for a wicked

cool weekend :)

I am just getting the finishing touches on a secret product that is coming out on
Monday (your monday) – which is going to be SOO cool – so I am
psyched!   For those of you who have created your own products, you will

know what i mean… there is this intense period of putting all of your

energies into creating something you can be proud of – and then… this
wicked build up of anticipation for launch… well – I am at the waiting…

waiting… waiting for launch stage.. lol.  Bring on Monday!!!!

Anyway!  For those of you who do have your own products – I have something

cool for you… if you are interested!

==> http://www.trafficbunnies.com/loves/halloweengiveaway
It’s a giveaway event that Guido is putting on together with David CanHam, to
allow people to build massive lists – while giving away a ton a really awesome stuff.
If you have been a part of a giveaway event, you will know the power of them.
If you haven’t – then this could be a chance to be a contributor at your first!  Looks confusing?  It really isn’t :)
All you need to do is sign up – and then add in your product that you want to give away.  This is preferably your own product (like, if you have a report of ebook you have written – or even an email training series).  If you don’t have your own anything – don’t stress it!  There are easy ways around that!
If you don’t have your product you can do a quick search on Google – search for something like ‘PLR Products’ or ‘Master Resell Rights’ (MRR) and you will usually find a ton of stuff – usually at very low cost.
Use Soren’s guide to creating your own squeeze page – his guide is free, if you haven’t grabbed it yet (even if you are not thinking about doing the giveaway event) then grab it now.  It is chocca’s full of information that you will just be WAY behind the 8 ball if you miss out on it.
