Increasing Your Search Engine Ranking

Posted: September 25th, 2008, 1:35pm MYT by Hafiz

The methods employed to increase your search engine
rankings may seem like rocket science to you, so you have
probably avoided dealing with this issue. I am here to tell
you - the time has come to face your website! A high search
engine ranking for your website is so essential that if you
have the slightest desire to actually succeed in your
business, there is no way you can continue to avoid this
issue.

At least 85% of people looking for goods and services on
the Internet find websites through search engines such as
Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The idea of optimizing your pages
for high search engine rankings is to attract targeted
customers to your site who will be more than likely to make
a purchase. The higher your page comes up in search engine
results, the greater the traffic that is directed to your
website. That’s what search engine optimization is about.

You can immerse yourself in all the technical information
available online to figure out how to optimize your web
pages to achieve higher rankings. Or you can look at a few
simple items on your pages, make some small adjustments,
and most likely see improved rankings quite rapidly. The
first item you should examine is the title bar on your
homepage.

The title bar is the colored bar at the top of the page.
Look at the words that appear there when you access your
home page. To increase search engine rankings, the words on
your homepage’s title bar should include the most important
keywords or phrases, one of which would include your
company name.

Then click on all your links and examine the title bars on
the pages you access. Each title bar on every single page
of your site should contain the most important keywords and
phrases taken from the page itself. However, avoid very
long strings of keywords, keeping them to six words or
less. Avoid repeating keywords more than once in the title
bars, and make sure that identical words are not next to
each other.

The next item to put under your microscope is your website
content. Search engines generally list sites that contain
quality content rather than scintillating graphics. The
text on your site must contain the most important keywords
- the words that potential customers will be typing into
search engines to find your site.

Aim to have around 250 words on each page, but if this is
not desirable due to your design, aim for at least 100
carefully chosen words. If you want to achieve a high
ranking on search engines, this text is essential. However,
the search engines must be able to read the text, meaning
that the text must be in HTML and not graphic format.

To find out if your text is in HTML format, take your
cursor and try to highlight a word or two. If you are able
to do this, the text is HTML. If the text will not
highlight, it is probably in graphic form. In this case,
ask your webmaster to change the text into HTML format in
order to increase your search engine rankings.

Next we come to what is called meta tags. I know this
sounds like something out of science fiction, but it is
really just simple code. Many people believe that meta tags
are the key to high search engine rankings, but in reality,
they only have a limited effect. Still, it’s worth adding
them in the event that a search engine will use meta tags
in their ranking formula.

To find out if your page is set up with meta tags, you must
access the code. To do this, click the “view” button on the
browser menu bar, and select “source.” This will pull up a
window revealing the underlying code that created the page.
If there are meta tags, they usually appear near the top of
the window. For example, a meta tag would read: meta
name=”keywords” content=. If you do not find code that
reads like this, ask your webmaster to put them in. This
may not do much for your search engine rankings, but any
little boost helps.

Lastly, we come to the issue of link popularity. This is a
factor that is extremely important in terms of search
engine rankings. Almost all search engines use link
popularity to rank your website. Link popularity is based
on the quality of the sites you have linked to from your
links page.

If you type in “free link popularity check” in a popular
search engine, the search engine will then show you what
sites are linked to your site. In the case that there
aren’t many sites linked up to yours, or that the sites
that are linked up have low search engine rankings,
consider launching a link popularity campaign. Essentially,
this entails contacting quality sites and requesting that
they exchange links with your site. Of course, this
requires checking out the rankings of the websites you want
to link up with. Linking to popular, quality sites not only
boosts your search engine ranking, but it also directs more
quality traffic to your website.

Search engine rankings are extremely important for a
successful Internet marketing campaign. Before you go out
and hire a search engine optimization company, try taking
some of the simple steps listed above, and see if you can’t
boost your rankings yourself. Don’t ever ignore this
all-important factor in Internet marketing. Remember, the
higher your search engine ranking, the more quality
customers will be directed your way.

Everyone Wins with Private Label Rights

Posted: September 22nd, 2008, 1:33pm MYT by Hafiz

Would you believe a person if they told you that it was possible to take another person’s work, change it anyway you please and call the edited material yours?

What if that person also told you that besides being able to do so, you could actually profit from that work and not be liable for any copyright infringement?

If you haven’t heard of private label rights, then most likely you’d think they were pulling your leg. But all the above are true if you are able secure these rights.

But what are private label rights?

To understand why private label rights are so special, you need to know about resale and master resale first.

Resale rights are simply permission from the owner of a work (a book, for example) to allow you to take the said material and distribute it for your own profit.

Master resale rights take it a step further and allow you to sell the resale rights to the work. The reason why it is called master resale rights is because it covers a large set of permissible actions to the person who acquires those rights.

Experts would tell you that to get the most of your purchasing of master resale rights, the following list of actions should allow you to:

1. give the material away unaltered
2. combine the material with others
3. give the material away as a bonus item
4. use the material a content for websites
5. divide the product into separate articles
6. put the rights for the material or the material itself up for auction
7. provide the material as content for paid membership sites
8. sell resale rights for the material
9. change or alter the material

Buying the whole set of these rights are great but it can cost you. But there is a way to get almost all of these actions and not have to pay as much for master resale rights IF you acquire just the right to change or alter the material, which is exactly what private label rights are.

With these set of rights, you are given permission to change another person’s work. By altering the material, you have made the work your own which then allows you to profit from the material anyway you intend to.

Let’s say you were able to acquire private label rights for a particular ebook. What can you do?

For starters, you can break up the book into separate chapters and then sell these as articles. On the other hand, if you were able to acquire private label rights for a set of articles, you could combine them and package it as a book, which you then can sell.

You can change the material’s content by adding or removing details. You can also add pictures or illustrations as well as other media like sound or video clips.

All of these actions are possible but the best part about private label rights is that you are not obligated to mention the original author (or pay them any royalties) for the changes you have done to his or her material. You can claim the material as yours by putting your name as the author of the material.
With these changes, the ways on capitalizing on them are many.

You can come up with a whole new set of products from a single material source. Take an ebook for example. On one hand, you’ve broken up the book to sell them as articles. On the other, you’ve enhanced the book’s content with media to package it as your own work and putting it up for sale on the market.

Acquiring private label rights are great for creating a brand for your business. As you may already know, one of the keys to a successful business is to distinguish yourself from the rest. With private label rights, you can change the material and make it uniquely yours. If your target market likes your material, your market can perceive you as an expert in your line of business, which is something you can really capitalize on as you sell your products or services.

However, it is not only the person who acquires private label rights who stands to benefit from it. It may be difficult to understand at first, but selling private label rights benefits even the original creator.

With the increasing demand for original material to be sold with private label rights, a writer can make good money from his or her work. The incentive is that he or she can command a higher price for the work given the rights that go with the material.

Furthermore, selling the right to change the material any way the buyer wants is actually giving new life to the material. By giving the buyer the freedom to change the content in a number of creative ways, the material’s usability sand relevance is extended.

By compensating the original content creator well; by allowing freedom and flexibility for the purchaser; and by giving the end user a wealth of very useful information, private label rights are by far one of the best things out there in the world of online marketing.

Increasing Sales Through Strategic Internet Marketing

Posted: September 20th, 2008, 1:30pm MYT by Hafiz

The Internet has now become an important medium for product and service advertisements. Almost every company that can afford print, radio and TV advertisements have also ventured into placing ads on the Internet.

But with millions of websites out there being visited by millions of computer users, how can you make sure that your ad can be seen by your target customers and that your leads will be followed by these users? Here are a few tips.

1. Place an ad on the websites frequented by your target customers. Before doing this, you need to define who will be your target customers. Placing an ad on sites that they usually visit will increase the possibility that your ad will gain the attention and will be followed your target customers.

Also, consider the website’s search engine placement, traffic, external linking and the other ads placed on it. External linking will determine if there are other sites that link to this site. This will mean that people can get to the site where your ad is placed, even if they are browsing a different site. Check if many of your competitors have ads on this site.

2. Placing ads on some sites cost some money. However, there are also sites that can place a link to your site, product or service in exchange of having their link being displayed on your site. This is also true about the newsletters sent by site owners to its mailing list members regularly.

Also, having helpful links placed on your site and having sites link to your pages help in boosting search engine ranking. This is similar to making a statement that your site’s content is important that other sites have links to your web pages.

3. Pay-per-click (PPC) is also a good method in Internet marketing. You will only need to pay for the ad if the link is clicked. If you prefer this method of advertisement, make sure that you are using services that set limits on daily expenses. There are also services that help you determine effective keywords and monitor the PPC results.

4. Choose your domain name wisely. It is still being debated if domain names matter when it comes to search engine placement. Whether it does or not, having product related domain names help consumers remember your domain, that they can go back to your site even without the links.

5. Make sure you have useful content on your sites. While keyword density is important in search engine placement, having useless information or annoying repetition of keywords will not increase your customer’s confidence in your site. It may even affect your sites traffic and can get your site removed from search engines. So make sure that keywords are used strategically.

6. When thinking of keywords, think like your target customers. What do you think are they going to search so they can get to your site? Also, use specific keywords or key phrases. Submitting a single word or a very general phrase to a search engine will not get you to the top of the search results compared to submitting specific keywords that describe your product and services perfectly.

7. Track your ads. Always check how much you have spent on placing links on frequently visited sites and on PPC. There are services that allow you to monitor PPC transactions and how many of these end in sales. You always need to consider if the ads that you have placed on these websites are getting you to your target consumers and if these ads can lead to revenue.

One final tip on marketing products and services, sell the benefits. It will help your marketing strategies a lot if you highlight the benefits of choosing your products and services instead of merely discussing the product specifications. Product specifications may not mean much to customers, unless they know what these stand for (how these specifications affect the quality of the product or service).

Many people say getting to the top of search engine results is difficult since millions of websites exist, which can be using the same keywords. While this is true, this doesn’t mean that your website has to stacked under your competitors’ websites when presenting search engine results. Strategic advertising and linking, together with useful content, can also get you to the top of the search results.

5 Things To Consider When Publishing A Newsletter

Posted: September 17th, 2008, 1:22pm MYT by Hafiz

Providing a newsletter for your opt-in list subscribers provides many benefits in terms of driving traffic into your site as well as boosting the sales and profits of your site and company. This is a marketing ploy that will not hugely dent your marketing budget and will not also require many man-hours in developing this project.

With a newsletter, you can inform the public about your company and products as well as services. You can keep them posted and updated about what’s going-on with your company as well as many of your promotions and offerings. With these, you keep on reminding your subscribers that you are still here and is willing to offer them good deals and services.

Newsletters also allow you to impress your subscribers. It can show your expertise and knowledge about the topic at hand and the many benefits you can offer them. When you impress people, they will become potential customers and another great thing is that they can recommend you to their friends, colleagues and family. All of them could very well be customers in the future.

If you do not have a newsletter or publishing one for your site, then you may have to consider about researching and be well informed on how to publish one. It is not as easy as it seems but if and when you get the right idea and process, it will be smooth sailing from there on. Try to take the time to learn what you need to learn and get that newsletter ready and good to attract subscribers to your newsletter as well as traffic to your site.

In the next few paragraphs, I will provide you with some things to reflect on when you decide to start your own newsletter for your site. Here are five things to consider when publishing a newsletter.

1) Make sure that the content of your newsletter pertains to and closely associated with your business or the theme of your site. Do not dwell too far on what could be regarded as your field of expertise. You have started a site and your theme for your site will always be something you are knowledgeable about. For example; if you have a site that sells auto car parts, your newsletter must contain articles or content like photos that pertain to cars, auto parts and such. You may also include content about your company and your staff.

Remember that visitors of a certain site are there because they are interested in what the site has to offer. If they sign up for an opt-in list or for a newsletter this means that they want to be updated for that certain theme or subject. Be sure that when you publish your newsletter you are providing for the need of the subscriber as well as their interests.

2) Ensure that you have well written, information riddled and content rich articles. You articles will be the body of your newsletter and that they should be able to excite your readers as well as provide information. Articles should be well written and checked for errors such as spelling and grammatical errors for it to look professional and believable. The trust of your client to you and newsletter is at stake here.

3) Fact-check your articles. Make sure that you provide true facts and figures so that your reputation as an expert and knowledgeable in that field is not questioned. If you lose the trust of your subscribers these may persuade them to unsubscribe to your newsletter. You will lose many potential sales this way.

4) Provide fresh and new articles that can provide new information to your subscribers. If you publish stale and old news in your newsletter, there is a tendency that people or your subscribers already have read and known about them. This will lose their interest in your newsletter and they wont get to read what is most important, your ads. They may not open or read any of your succeeding newsletters losing your intention in writing and publishing newsletters, to get them to visit your site and make a purchase.

5) Never use copyrighted materials such as photos and articles. This is outright plagiarism, you may get into a lot of trouble for this. You can lose your business and get sued over copyright infringement. If you do not have the time to write your own articles, there are many willing and able professional article writers that can do it for you for a reasonable fee. All your investment in writing and publishing articles will be well worth it when you see your list build up and your traffic increasing.

Google Adsense - The Easiest Money To Make Online?

Posted: September 12th, 2008, 1:19pm MYT by Hafiz

For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.
The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.

With Google Adsense, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing. If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process. If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense.

For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

How to Increase Sales Through Streaming Audio

Posted: September 9th, 2008, 1:18pm MYT by Hafiz

Many studies have proven that radio is a good medium for product advertisements. People listen to the radio for entertainment, usually to listen to the latest music or to their favorite radio program. In between the program, advertisements on products and services are being played.

For many years, this has been the trend in advertising. But now that the radio medium is almost behind the audio-visual medium, the TV, and the Internet, other marketing strategies have to be employed to continue the benefits of advertising through audio.

It is then that the benefits of using music on websites were discovered. Before, music on the Internet was just available in downloadable forms as mp3. Even through hosting downloadable music on their servers, companies were able to get much traffic on their sites. And everyone engaged in Internet marketing knows that website traffic plays a big role in boosting product and service sales.

However, there had been a problem with illegal music download in which artists, musicians and record companies have lost millions of revenues.

Then, came the popularity of Internet music streaming. Unlike the former, radio streaming does not allow download of the music files. Thus, the copyrights of the artists and record label owners are protected.

So, how can this be done? There are several ways to stream audio from your site. First, is to stream a radio program from your site or blog. You can find free affiliate programs that allow you to stream their radio content from your site.

What will this mean to you? This means that your site will have new audio content every time it is visited. What’s even great is that the content is being updated even without much effort from you.

In this case, what you needed to do is to signup with an Internet radio station and have the link embedded on your blog or website.

Another way is to stream mp3s. To do this, you just need to upload your mp3files on a server and add the files’ links to the page. When the link is clicked, the browser opens a media player window and plays a file. However, since the file is in mp3 format, it may also be downloaded. Downloading music files without the authorization of the copyright owner is illegal. Therefore, if you will be using this type of streaming, make sure that you have the appropriate permit to do so.

A third way to add audio to you blog or website is to stream music through organizing playlists. Playlists are m3u files, which if downloaded, will not play music if offline. Using this process, however, can be complex. Here is a short instruction on how to do it.

1. Save your mp3 or wma file on the server. You may skip this step if you know that the file exists on another server and know the link to that file. Make sure that the link has a .mp3 or .wma extension.

2. Open your text editor and type the path to the file. Include the http:// and the file extension. Repeat this step until you have included all the links to the files that you would like to be included in the playlist.

3. Save the playlist with a .m3u extension.

4. Upload the m3u file on the directory where the music files are hosted or to your server.

5. Open your html editor and embed the link to the m3u file. Through this, you can also set if you want to have the playlist to autoplay if someone visits your site of if you want your visitor to control playing the music. You can also set the volume level.

After the code is embedded on the html file, and whenever your site is visited, the songs in the playlist will be buffered, streamed and played one after another. If your playlist has several songs, the user can skip forward or go back a song in the playlist using the media player controls.

Doing this setup works for many website owners. Through this you can customize the type of music being played on your site. You can even play recordings related to your product to boost product awareness.

It requires knowledge of html to be done. But if it will be the best way to increase traffic to your site, why not request assistance from programmers. After all, having audio on a website is a proven way to increase sales.

Build Interest With Autoresponder Messages

Posted: September 6th, 2008, 1:10pm MYT by Hafiz

If you are using your autoresponder to sell a product or service, you must be very careful as to how you approach your potential customer. Few people like a hard sale, and marketers have known for years that in most cases, a prospect must hear your message an average of seven times before they will make a purchase. How do you accomplish this with autoresponders?

It’s really quite simple, and in fact, the autoresponders make getting the message to your potential customers those seven times possible. On the Internet, without the use of autoresponders, you probably could not achieve that. Too often, marketers make the mistake of literally slamming the potential customer with a hard sales pitch with the first autoresponder message – this won’t work.

You build interest slowly. Start with an informative message – a message that educates the reader in some way on the topic that your product or service is related to. At the bottom of the message, include a link to the sales page for your product. Use that first message to focus on the problem that your product or service can solve, with just a hint of the solution.

Build up from there, moving into how your product or service can solve a problem, and then with the next message, ease into the benefits of your product – giving the reader more actual information with each and every message. Your final message should be the sale pitch – not your first one! With each message, make sure that you are giving the customer information pertaining to the topic – free information! This is what will keep them interested in what you have to say.

This type of marketing is an art. It may take time to get it exactly right. Use the examples that other marketers have set for you. Pay attention to the messages that you receive from other marketers. Start a ‘swap’ file, and keep those messages. Use some of the better sales copy for your own autoresponder messages – just make sure that yours doesn’t turn out to be an exact copy of someone else’s sales message!

Remember not to start with a hard sale. Build your potential customers interest. Keep building on what the problem is, and how your product or service can solve that problem or fill that need. If you are doing this right, by the time the potential customer reads the last message in that series, they will be convinced enough to make a purchase!

6 Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read

Posted: September 3rd, 2008, 1:04pm MYT by Hafiz

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Here’s How To Avoid The 3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes

Posted: September 1st, 2008, 1:01pm MYT by Hafiz

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways of earning some money online. This program gives everybody a chance to make a profit through the Internet. Since these affiliate marketing programs are easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a regular basis, more an more people are now willing in this business.

However, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing business. Committing some of the most common mistakes will cost the marketers a large portion taken from the profit they are making everyday. That is why it is better to avoid them than be regretful in the end.

Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate.

Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try top choose a product in which you are truly interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out your actions.

Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings only.

Mistake number 2: Joining too many affiliate programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.

True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them.

The result? The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the income generated will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would. The best way to get excellent result is by joining just one program that pays a 40% commission at least. Then give it your best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is already making a reasonable profit, then maybe you can now join another affiliate program.

The technique is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush into things, especially with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real bright and it seems affiliate marketing will be staying for a long time too.

Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.

As an affiliate, you main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service and to find customers. For you to achieve this purpose, you must be able to relay to the customers that certain product and service. It is therefore difficult for you to do this when you yourself have not tried these things out. Thus, you will fail to promote and recommend them convincingly. You will also fail to create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are offering.

Try the product or service personally first before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it is really delivering what it promises. If you have done so, then you are one of the credible and living testaments aware of its advantages and disadvantages. Your customers will then feel the sincerity and truthfulness in you and this will trigger them to try them out for themselves.

Many affiliate marketers makes these mistakes and are paying dearly for their actions. To not fall into the same situation they have been in, try to do everything to avoid making the same mistakes.

Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and check if youa re in the right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program and earn higher profits.

Increasing Link Popularity

Posted: August 25th, 2008, 8:27am MYT by Hafiz

Search engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are
the first tool that potential customers use to find the
products and services they need. This is why link
popularity is so imperative. If the customers do not find
your website, you have no possibilities of making any
sales.

You’re probably wondering what the blazes is popular about
a link! Well, in a word - plenty! Link popularity refers to
the ranking assigned to your website by the search engines,
and it determines the ranking your page gets when keywords
are entered into a search engine. So, you’re probably
wondering, how do I make my link popular?

Search engines are discretionary, giving status and ranking
to sites that have links to their pages from related,
quality sites. It’s a simple formula, but a very important
one. Google created the system, and now virtually all the
most popular search engines employ it to rank your web
pages in their indexes.

The more commonly used your keyword is, the harder it will
be to achieve link popularity, but without achieving this
step, it is almost certain your site will never rank highly
on any search engine. But don’t be discouraged; there are
tried and true ways of achieving link popularity using the
most competitive keywords.

There are a few things you should be aware of. The first is
that just linking up with a large number of other websites
will not achieve link popularity. In fact, it may have
quite the opposite effect. This is particularly true when
pertaining to websites that are nothing more than “link
farms” - pages containing line after line of indiscriminate
links. Search engines may aggressively discriminate against
your website if you are associated with a link farm, so
steer clear of them!

The next thing to bear in mind is the quality of the site
you are linking to. Never link to a page you have
reservations about your visitors seeing. The last thing you
want your website to appear as is indiscriminate and cheap.
Linking to sites of poor quality will only lessen your link
popularity, if not completely destroy it.

So let’s get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link
popularity and improve your rankings to stellar status on
all the popular search engines.

The first step, and the fastest way to get your foot in the
door, is to get a listing in a popular directory, such as
Open Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is
business-related, you will want to be listed on Yahoo, and
despite the fact that it will cost you around $300 a year,
it will be money well spent. If your site is
non-commercial, the listing will be free, but it will take
time and follow-up to actually get it listed. Open
Directory is gives you a free listing whether you are
business-related or non-commercial, but be prepared to make
a lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site
listed.

You are aiming to get listed in the highest level of
appropriate category, and this just takes some common
sense. For example, if your company ships Alpaca wool from
an Alpaca farm located in the middle of Nowhere, Tiny
State, do NOT submit your listing to “Retailers from
Nowhere, Tiny State.” BIG MISTAKE! All you have to do is
look a little deeper - and submit your listing to the “Fine
Alpaca Wool” category. You will not only associate yourself
with culture and quality, but you will be listed in a
national category.

The next step after you have attained directory listings is
to locate other quality sites that will increase your link
popularity. Try to find sites that are in some way related
to yours, so not only will your link popularity increase,
but your customer base may also be expanded. You want to
avoid your competitors and look for sites that are useful
to your site’s visitors. Let’s look at the Alpaca Wool site
example. Linking up to a site that sells knitting supplies
would be helpful to your visitors, and the chances of the
knitting supply site wanting to link up to your site are
also greater. By linking to a related site that will be
relevant to your website’s traffic, you are increasing both
of your site’s business prospects - and both of your sites’
link popularity.

Not all sites want to link to other sites, so you will have
to do some research when you are looking for possible
linking partners. Google is an excellent starting place for
your search. Make sure you enter keywords that you think
quality customers will also enter to find your own site.
Remember, your criteria are quality, highly ranked,
non-competing websites that have a links or resources page.
Go to these sites and objectively assess them. Look at the
quality of the product, the graphics, and the ease of use.
Then check out the other sites they are linked to, and
determine if your own site would fit in with the crowd.

When you decide you have found a good prospect, you must
set out to woo them. The first thing to do is to add a link
on your own links page to their site. This is an essential
first step; it shows good faith, and ups your chances
significantly of their reciprocity. After you have added
their link, you must contact the webmaster of their site.
Since this is almost always done by email, you want to make
sure it is immediately clear that your message is not junk
mail. This requires that you tell them right off the bat
that you have added a link to their page on your site. A
hook like this almost always insures the reader will read
on.

Next, be sure to be flattering and let them know how much
you appreciate their website. Make sure you emphasize that
you have actually visited their site, and that their site
is not just a random pick. Give them the address of your
links page, and ask them to check out the link for
themselves. It’s a good idea to mention that they will not
only benefit from the increased traffic your website will
direct their way, but you will also increase their link
popularity. Briefly, explain why link popularity is so
essential, but do this in a sentence or two so you don’t
sound like a professor! Finally, tell them you would
greatly appreciate if they would reciprocally add a link on
their own links page to your website.

Go through this process with as many appropriate sites as
you can find, bearing in mind the criteria of quality and
non-competitiveness. After you have emailed all relevant
sites, be sure to check these website frequently to see if
they have added a link to your page. Give it about a month,
and if no link appears, try another charming email. Then
give it another month, and if your site is still absent
from their links page, it’s time to remove their link from
your own links page. The only time you want to pursue a
link further than this is if you believe a site is crucial
to your link popularity and your business needs. Just
remember to keep all your communications complimentary and
cordial.

Then set up a schedule to check your ranking in search
engines frequently to see if your link popularity has
improved. This is not achievable in the blink of an eye. It
will take some time and a good deal of work. There is no
way around the labor-intensive quality of improving your
link popularity, which is why search engines regard it with
such importance.

By the way - make sure you have a beautiful, streamlined
site or you will never persuade anyone to link up to you.
Be prepared to keep plugging away at this process, as long
as it takes, until you achieve link popularity stardom!

How to Make Money with Private Label Rights

Posted: August 22nd, 2008, 8:19am MYT by Hafiz

What are private label rights? These are rights that a person gains to a particular product.

One might wonder at the difference between private label rights and product resell rights. With product resell rights, a person obtains the right to resell the product as is, without changing its form, design or name.

On the other hand, if you have a private label right to a particular product, you would gain the right to modify or change an original product, create your own specifications, apply modifications then claim it as your own original product.

E-books, software, articles and other written, raw material are just some examples of products where you can obtain private label rights.

Take an -book, for example. If an author of an e-book would give you private label rights about “Cellular Phone Technology”, you can modify the content to tackle the latest developments about this ever-changing technology.

You can add features and create helpful sub-topics that would best fit the current trends in cellular technology.

After the modifications, you can claim rights to the e-book that you modified.

The idea may have been copied or bought, but you get to have the rights to resell the “new” product resulting from the one that was modified.

‘New versus modified’

In a basic business course, you are taught to develop an original product which will “sell” to a particular market.

You have learned that an original design and functionality will pave the way towards introducing a great new invention in the market.

However, developing and manufacturing your own product is quite a tedious process.

The good thing is that once you have an output, you can profit from your original product by several ways.

First, you can sell the rights for business owners to resell your products without any modifications whatsoever.

You can also build a web site for your product and get other related web sites to advertise your products for you.

Once you find that your product is not anymore at par with the current technological standards and it does not meet the consumer’s needs, then you can modify it.

The resulting product with the new modifications will again earn you the rights to resell that new product. The possibilities are endless once you have developed a product of your own.

Now, take a look at the advantages of a modified product as a result of gaining private label rights.

First, this is the easiest way to build a business if you do not have the time to develop your own product. Gaining private label rights would make it “legal” for you to re-use an original product content without having to worry about infringements on intellectual property rights.

This principle mostly applies to written and electronic material such as e-books, articles, even source codes.

Second, you can use your creativity to modify an existing product and make it your own.

If you put together ten articles about a common theme, modify them a bit to come up with one basic idea, you would have a resulting product which is more comprehensive than the original material. This is better as compared to just combining two articles with the same idea and packaging them individually.

You can also use an original material or text and use the private label rights that you obtained to develop a web site about the same topic.

There are hundreds of possibilities about how you can earn money with the use of private label rights. Affiliate sites and other web sites offering private label rights would make modifications seem effortless.

This area of Internet marketing shows such potential that many online businesses are grabbing the opportunity.

All you have to do is find the right material to work with and you can have an instant product to work with. Just change the graphics, modify the text and you are good to go.

The great thing about this is that you can re-package the material and present them to buyers in any way that you would like.Additionally, you get the glory of the byline since you can put your name on the printed or electronic material because the product is yours to claim now.

With a little creativity, resourcefulness and effort, you can earn hundreds of dollars by using private label rights to come up with original products that you can distribute to your target market.

With this, the difficulties of conceptualizing and manufacturing an original product will be eliminated, yet yield almost the same results when it comes to profit.

Cash and Pay-per-click Affiliate Programs

Posted: August 20th, 2008, 8:14am MYT by Hafiz

Millions are paying to get a ride on the Information Super Highway everyday. Now, it is widely known that the Internet is an accessible resource of many income-generating activities. Whether you belong to a private sales company or you are just interested in internet marketing, PPC affiliate programs can be a powerful venue to make money from the Internet. A partnership with an affiliate merchant is a win-win situation for the merchant and the affiliate: sales are soaring because of exposure and traffic while the affiliate is earning good cash.

To make things much simpler: the affiliate merchant provides a strip of advertisement and pays you when someone clicks on the ad’s link. You can get a commission of $0.10 to $0.30 for every click, but it sometimes it can go higher depending on your merchant affiliate. Sometimes, merchants require a quota ($1.4 for every 1000 clicks). Plus, you can get discounts from your merchant affiliates if you happen to like their products too. You can just kick back and relax while your website is generating cash. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

What is PCC Affiliate Program?

PPC means pay-per-click, wherein you get in partnership with an affiliate company that literally pays you for every click. There are actually two types of PCC affiliate programs – those who pay a commission based on the number of clicks and the other based on the sales. The pay-per-click scheme is much more popular than pay-per-lead because the affiliate gets paid by just clicking the ad, regardless of whether the visitor buys from the affiliate merchant or not. Plus the chances of a visitor purchasing something from the affiliate merchant are not really that high.

In choosing an affiliate program, read the fine print carefully – some pay-per-click programs get the ratio of the number of people who went to your site and the actual people who clicked on the ad. If you have a heavily targeted website, this can hurt your earnings.

How do I start?

Of course, you need to have a website. Depending on your target audience, choose the best affiliate merchant that is most related to your topic. For example, your website is about Carpentry then you can search for affiliate programs that sell tools used in carpentry.

However, if you don’t have a website, that’s not a problem. You can put up a content site about absolutely anything under the sun like ‘Taking Care of Dogs’ or ‘Decorating your own Home.’ But wait, its not over yet. We are faced by a dilemma – on how to increase traffic! You first need to get internet surfers to see your website, then the ad.

How do I increase my traffic?

First, design your website in such a way that it will attract internet users. A user-friendly site is always recommended so that the customers will know which one to click. Take into consideration the look and feel of the advertisement. If it doesn’t look professional, most likely, users will just ignore it. Place the ad on a strategic location – one where users can see it clearly. Visibility of the ad is always important.

Another way is to post a link to your website in forums, web communities, ezine articles or bulletin boards. However, this method requires a lot of effort – that defeats your purpose of getting easy money in the first place! The key is to do something once and forget about it. It’s like putting your business on autopilot. To maintain you pay-per-click business, be sure to track down site activity, so you are updated on how much money you are making.

Can I make more money?

If you think you can go to the next level, you can try a two-tier affiliate program. This gives you the power to recruit affiliates. Other than the money you get from your website’s clicks, you will also get a percentage of what your affiliate generates. Some companies give 30% to a soaring 50% commission on all referral sales.

Remember, you should be able to manage and monitor your affiliate program. If you can recruit more affiliates, then you can get paid more without even moving a finger! Choose affiliates that can most likely attract more internet users and bring more traffic. You just have to know the right people.

4 Ways To Get Your Opt In Subscribers To Trust You Quickly

Posted: August 17th, 2008, 8:04am MYT by Hafiz

While the rest of the world have developed many barriers and protections to keep their e-mail accounts spam-free, there are also those that subscribe to mails that promotes their products, services and their site. This is mainly because these subscribes wants to know more about what these sites are offering and can be beneficial for them. They expect to get be kept posted on what they are interested in and what are new in the market or field they have chosen.

Businesses would be so lucky to have these kinds of customers; the basic element needed to get these types of people is trust. When your customers trust you they will reward you with their loyalty. Many internet users have gone to great lengths in protecting their email accounts from spam mail. Some free-mail internet providers and internet service providers offer spam protection while there are also some internet based companies that screen your mails for you.

With an opt-in mail list, the mails you send containing your promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and marketing media will go through. Your intended recipient will be able to read and view what you have sent making it a successful transfer of information. To be able to be allowed to do so, you will need permission from your recipient, to get this permission; you need to be able to get their trust. With the great lack of disregard for privacy in the internet, getting the trust of an internet user you don’t personally know is a big achievement.

To build a good opt-in list you need people to trust you, for a faster and quicker build up, you need to get your opt-in subscribers to trust you quickly. The faster you build your opt-in list the faster word about your site and company gets to be spread. The bigger the scope of your opt-in list the more traffic you get spelling more profits. Its easy math if you thin about it. Getting the numbers is not that simple though, or maybe it is?

• Getting the trust of your clientele shouldn’t be so hard especially if you do have a legitimate business. Getting your customers trust should be based upon your expertise. People rely on other people who know what they are talking about. Garner all the knowledge and information about your business. Ell, frankly if you decide to go into a business most probably you have an interest in it. Like how many basketball payers become coaches, you don’t really venture into something you don’t have any interest in.

• Show your clients that you know what you are talking about. Provide them with helpful hints and guidelines that pertain to what you are selling. Talk about how to install a roof if your into hardware products or provide articles on insurance settlements if you’re a settlement lawyer. You don’t have to be a big corporation to make use of an opt-in list. If your customers see you as someone who knows what he is doing and saying, they will trust you quickly.

• Be true to your customers, if you want to hype up your products and services, provide guarantees. The more satisfied customers you get, the bigger probability there is that they will recommend you. Generally, people will trust someone they know, when that someone recommends you then you’re a shoo-in. They will go to your site and check it for themselves and be given a chance to experience what the other shave experienced from you, so make sure to be consistent in the service you provide.

• Another tip in getting a customer to trust you quickly is to provide them an escape hatch. Show them that you are not there to trap them. Keep a clean list that would enable them to unsubscribe anytime they want. Elaborate your web form by providing information on how to unsubscribe from the list. Guarantee them that they can let go of the service when ever they want to. Many are wary that they may be stuck for life and would have to abandon their email accounts when they get pestered with spam.

Remember that when you get the trust of your clients don’t lose that trust. Because if you do anything with their email addresses like sell them or give them out, you will lose many members of your list as ell as potential members. The true quickest way to gain the trust of your subscribers is when you are recommended by someone they trust.

Making a Hyper Responsive Opt Work

Posted: August 15th, 2008, 10:57am MYT by Hafiz

Getting the attention of people to buy a certain product is challenging. There were times in the past when telemarketing was at times more of a nuisance rather a convenience to people. The same goes for sales people who would go house to house and show a product and were simply turned down.

Now as people have approached the digital age, there is a faster way of doing it as that is through hyper responsive opt. This is basically creating a mailing list and sending the information to people which will contribute to sales.

A person can do it in the office or at home and it can only be done if one is serious about making money online. This can work for people who want to do it full time or for those who just want some extra cash and do it part time.

Here are some benefits and features of using hyper responsive opt;

1. With a click of the mouse, the product a person wants to sell can get to the customer in lightning speed. Surveys have shown that the average person will only buy a product only after being exposed to the ad or the message after 7 times. By establishing a customer base via the internet, one no longer has to search for new ones that much but rely on the existing clientele to further spread the word and increase sales.

2. Some people will not immediately buy the product that is offered but by keeping the names in the mailing list, it is possible that when a product of interest is on hand, the person will then buy.

3. When a site has been made, it can be used to bring in additional revenue as new people who want to join the business can be charged for advertising.

4. This can also be used to propose joint ventures with other people making the business grow further.

To give further detail how it works, here is the step by the step process of hyper responsive opts;

· The first thing to do is to determine what customers need. It should be a product or a service that should provide a solution of some kind that will improve the quality of life either at home or at work.

Marketing a product especially new ones takes time and money to establish itself. Profit is not made in the first sale but occurs when the customer decides to buy again or through repeat sales.

· The next is to do the proper research. If the business is done with a group of people or a single proprietorship, it is best to brainstorm for the best possible brand or product name. It should be catchy and will easily be remembered. Given that there are probably others who have been in the business longer, it is best to think of other names just in case it can no longer be used.

· A product of good quality should be sold at a decent price. Sometimes, the product one makes is already available in the market. To be competitive, one must figure out a way to convince people as to why this product is better than the other leading brands. What features does it have that the competitor doesn’t? What makes it unique and what service can it give as well?

· Just like a normal business, one must acquire the right equipment and machines for the job. These could be merchandise that is either physical or electronic and an online ordering system.

To be successful, one should be sure that the goods that a customer will order can be delivered on time. If there are any problems, a customer support staff or system should be ready to cater to that.

One does not need a wonder product to make it work. All it takes is a list of people who one can contact without being accused of spamming. Soon, this will get the attention of the right people and sales should start coming in.

Any business big or small must maximize marketing to get the message across. Online business is just one of the new ways of making money. It is up to the person to find that need and take advantage of it.

Don’t Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud

Posted: August 12th, 2008, 8:22am MYT by Hafiz

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it.

It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it.

Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a htaccess file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser’s information, user’s session info and pattern recognition. They also have “systems” available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using “negative keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.

Do not be caught in the Google click fraud. Be aware and be wary.

All You Need To Know About Blog Hosts

Posted: August 9th, 2008, 10:47am MYT by Hafiz

Apart from the chat rooms, instant messengers and electronic mails created for communication and dialogue beyond turf are the emerging innovations that help man build opportunities for interaction. The need for a personalized and human face aspect of building online communities is slowly changing the technological landscape of the Internet.

Blogs / “weblogs” or blogging are the newest gift of Internet technology to people all over the world. These are updated posts, crop up entries or personalized life snippets, of mundane or bizarre in nature. For most, a “blog” is a personal, unedited, and authentic journal meant to be shared in an online community. Blog site is a place where bloggers can publish anything; his thoughts, feelings, photos, special events, experiences, comments on issues and so on. It is more of an online diary with videos, links, documents, newsletters and opinions on just about any topics you are interested.

Blogs are made to welcome the insights and opinions of all and therefore, should not be written to sound intimidating and too formal. This kind of blog is a sure way to put off the readers. In the basics of blogging, conversational tone would be more appropriate to reach the desired audience.

Blogging is all about individuals reaching out to other individuals. Having a blog has its own set of advantages:

Freedom of Expression. If you want people to hear you out and give their own opinion, this is the best way to create a line of communication;

Networking is at its best. Having a blog is a good platform for exchanging genuine ideas from consumers to you as marketer of a certain product. Sound opinion and point of view is better than just showing the price quote;

Excellent advertising platform. Blogging is a new way to advertise products, a refreshing change from the traditional advertising outlets and it is cost-effective.

Gauging public opinion on products and services. The key is nice and catchy titles with new ideas presented in your content. This is an assurance of quick and repeated responses from your readers. Blogs is an excellent spot for the exchange of ideas between the seller and the consumer. Good for measuring public opinion regarding services and products, even political and business matters alike.

Other benefits like search engine optimization (SEO) will help your blogs to be seen often by as many people as you wish. This is very good exposure for your products and services.

Many blog hosting services are available on the Internet. But the basic question is which one of the services will be the best to start off your business blog program? Business people are usually clueless to recent technological innovations which would help them maximize their marketing potentials. For these beginners, it is best to study first the services offered by blog hosts. An ineffective business blogging program may damage marketing opportunities instead of enriching them.

A company may decide to do the following depending on its capacity and needs: 1) Host their own blog service, 2) Pay someone else to host the service, or 3) Setup a “blog aggregator page” and ask the employees to select their blog hosting services individually. There are paid and free services available for individuals.

For business blogs, they are required to have the latest blogging features; if not, this will prevent them from maximizing their marketing, public relations and SEO potentials.

Keep in mind that blogs should have the following basic essentials:

COMMENTS. Welcoming comments provide opportunity for dialogue. In business blogs, they are a good customer feedback mechanism. This helps develop better customer relations based from loyalty and trust. Blogging is an innovative way to converse with your customers.
TRACKBACK. This helps in maximizing company and product exposure. Through this service, consumers can get back to you for more posts and updates without the difficulty of locating you. If your blog is popular in a specific online community chances are links going back to your blog site are everywhere online, other blog sites or even websites.
CATEGORIES AND TAGS. These both help in classifying blog searches for ease of navigation and on site search. Categories act as libraries because it classifies posts by subject matter such as business, distance learning, e-commerce, online auctions, etc. Tags, help in the classification, especially in the blog search engine Technorati. Possible customers and new clients locate blogs about certain topics of interest by just clicking the tags.
RSS FEED. Really Simple Syndication is the feed from your blog that is sent out over the internet, and collected through the various newsreaders and aggregators.

If your company is to establish a business blogging program, considerable options should be made available by the hosting companies shortlisted for the services. Free blog hosting services are popular but they are much appropriate for individual online journals. Paid blog hosting services offer unlimited packages best for your company’s needs. You may want to suggest checking out some blogs that use the host first, read and examine their layout and design. Another important thing to consider is a reliable technical support the host has.

After, choosing the blog host, a team should be ready to plan the design and structure of the blog: The team should:
1    create a style that meets the needs of the audience;
2    establish an open, credible tone;
3    schedule weekly updating of blog - ideally, a few times a week;
4    include weblinks of other website and blogs;
5    blog post should be in the “first person;”
6    focus on the business blog objective; and,
7    maintain an honest, engaging conversational quality.

Remember, whatever the look, style and content found on your blog is a reflection of you and your company.

Here’s Why Paying For Your Traffic Is A Smart Move

Posted: March 28th, 2008, 6:43am MYT by Hafiz

There are so many success stories you will hear about businesses making it good in the internet. The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.

Is this through luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the determination to learn and the willingness to invest in a lot of hard work and some money.

The Very Basic

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you have the more people would be able to sell your products to.

But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact.

But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business.

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your site exists; the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense.

While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free, this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising schemes by Google and Yahoo.

The Value of Searches

The search and will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding what a person needs in the internet. Search engines have been very popular because they provide a vital service to many people. They are free and easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.

Search engines provide information to the millions of users that they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks of the search results page, you get a great chance that they will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an empty sales day.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right keyword for the right moment.

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result to a great boost in your sales figures. Paying for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will get all the benefits it has to offer.

Evaluating Web Site Performance

Posted: March 25th, 2008, 6:00am MYT by Hafiz

Setting up a website is the very first step of an Internet
marketing campaign, and the success or failure of your site
depends greatly on how specifically you have defined your
website goals. If you don’t know what you want your site to
accomplish, it will most likely fail to accomplish
anything. Without goals to guide you in developing and
monitoring your website, all your site will be is an online
announcement that you are in business.

If you expect your site to stimulate some form of action,
whether it is visitors filling out a form so a
representative can contact them, or purchasing a product,
there are steps you can take to insure that your website is
functioning at peak efficiency. One of the first indicators
of how well your site is working for you is finding out the
number of visitors in a given period of time. A good
baseline measurement is a month in which you haven’t been
doing any unusual offline promotional activities.

However, just because hoards of people have passed through
your gates does not mean your site is successful. Usually,
you want those visitors to actually do something there. It
is equally important to monitor the number of visitors to
your site who made a purchase. This figure is called the
site conversion rate, and it is an essential element of the
efficacy of your website.

To find the site conversion rate, take the number of
visitors per month and figure out the percentage of them
that actually performed the action your site is set up for.
For example, if you had 2,000 hits to your site, but only
25 of them purchased your product, your site conversion
rate equals 1.25%. To get this figure, take your number of
visitors and divide that figure by the number of visitors
who made a purchase. Then divide that result by 100 (25 ?00 X 100).

If your website is set-up to get visitors to fill out a
form, make sure to then figure out what the difference is
between your site conversion rate and your sales conversion
rate. This is because not everyone who fills out your form
will actually become your customer. However, whether your
site is set-up to sell a service or product, or to get the
visitor to fill out a form, the site conversion rate will
measure the success or failure of your website whenever you
make changes to the site.

You may find that you need to implement some additional
marketing strategies if you find that traffic to your site
is extremely low. There are several effective methods to
improve the flow of traffic to your website, particularly
launching a search engine optimization campaign. This
campaign is targeted at increasing your position in search
engine results so that consumers can find your pages faster
and easier. You can either research the steps you need to
take to improve your search engine rankings, or employ a
search engine optimization company to do the work for you.
In either case, after your have improved your search engine
positions, make sure you keep on top of them by regular
monitoring and adjusting of your efforts to maintain high
positions.

Another factor to examine is how easy it is for a visitor
to your website to accomplish the action the site is set-up
for. For example, if your goal is for the visitor to fill
out a form, is this form easily accessible, or does the
visitor have to go through four levels to get to it? If
it’s too difficult to get to, the customer may just throw
in the towel and move on to another site. Make sure your
buttons are highly visible, and the path to your form or
ordering page quickly accessible.

Finally, have a professional evaluate the copy on your
website. The goal is, of course, to get your visitor to
make a purchase or fill out your form. Website copy must be
specifically geared to your online campaign and not just a
cut and paste job from your company brochure. The right
copy can make the difference between profit and loss in
your online campaign.

Earning From private Label Rights

Posted: March 22nd, 2008, 6:00am MYT by Hafiz

“Private label rights” (PLR) are demonstrated in a license or an authorization which comes with information products, such as e-books and articles that you can buy. These rights allow you to modify, alter, rearrange and enhance the products’ contents to fit your requirements.

You may split e-book or article chapters and then sell them not as one whole e-book, but as a “series” or sequence of articles. You can also do the reverse; when you have purchased a collection of PLR articles you can bring them all together into one well-designed special report or novel e-Book or.

Likewise, you can add any relevant information on a certain PLR content without the need of asking the original author’s permission.

However, note that purchasers of PLR products are not only the ones who earn, but also the PLR product’s creator and can consider this path, to offer his books at a higher price knowing all the benefits it offers to the buyers.

Where to use private label content?

1. Links. Rewrite some articles and submit them to free article directories. Do remember that you need to revise your articles first, before submitting them, as the directories can penalize you.

2. Enhance your list. You can offer e-Books or eCourses as free incentive for visitors to enroll in your opt-in mailing list or offer report as bonuses when they sign up.

3. Improve online sales. Your revised articles can be used to update online prospects about a certain subject then incorporate links to associated product pages or links to affiliate programs.

2. Rewrite totally your opening paragraph. Search your vocabulary so that you can state the same things in a different way. You can make use of your Thesaurus tool and look for alternative words.

3. Go through your entire article. Add or remove sentences when you distinguish mistakes. Add also new ideas to spread out your article or split a very lengthy content into two articles.

4. Rewriting the ending. Be certain that your article entices the readers to perform what you need them to perform, be it buying a certain product, enrolling for a newsletter or going through your site.

PPC Advertising for Maximum Web Promotion

Posted: March 20th, 2008, 6:00am MYT by Hafiz

Engaging in pay-per-click (PPC) advertising has its own benefits and drawbacks. But what exactly is PPC advertising and what it can do to your business?

Business nowadays is doing different kinds of austerity measures when it comes to advertising their products and services. This is because of high rates of placing ads on print and on television. But there is a fast growing approach that businessmen can utilize to bring their services closer to the people and that is through Internet Marketing.

One tool that is causing internet marketing popularity is PPC advertising. This is a technique used in search engine marketing that requires one to pay a fee every time someone clicks an ad on your website. Usually this placement is done through a bidding process. If you are a top bidder for your keywords/phrases, you are sure to be on the number one spot on all search engines. Just be sure of the effectiveness of your ad copy to get the most number of clicks you need for your business.

Here are the benefits of PPC advertising are:

1.    You need not be a genius in computer and technology to be able to run this ad campaign.
2.    Immediate results are seen after a few days.
3.    No need to make a website conform to the SEO rules.
4.    Nothing to lose even if you do not top the pages of different search engines. You can still always choose PPC advertising.
5.    You can make use any search engine available.
6.    You can type in any keyword you like.

Cons of PPC advertising includes:

1.    Fixed payments every month to the search engine you choose.
2.    Pay for each click received by your website. At times, visitors are just competitors or people playing pranks on search engines. This hassle wastes money you put in to this advertising.
3.    Inability to pay for the fees next month would mean removal of your website on the paid listings.
4.    This advertising can only be used temporarily because it is difficult to handle in the long run.
5.    Pay-per-click pricing can be costly for long periods of time, therefore, this should be stopped after an ad campaign.

But how exactly PPC advertising can increase traffic, leads and sales?

PRE-QUALIFIED TRAFFIC. All visitors of your website are already considered as a qualified consumer or buyer of your product. PPC advertising leads your customers to you for a lesser cost.

INSTANT EXPOSURE, IMMEDIATE PROFITS. PPC search engines enable you to get your desired results fast. They will have your website live within just a few hours which means immediate increase in sale.

CONSISTENT TOP LISTINGS. This is to get your website on top of the sponsored search results for free. You just have to choose the keywords related to your site and business and place them within your web pages. After this, you are done.

PPC advertising enables advertisers to control their advertising campaigns. Advertisers have effectively targeted their audience and set their own price per click. PPC advertising networks provide the platform to identify the desired audience by geographic setting, topic and industry. These networks have a list of websites of the publishers where the ads will be placed.

Tools are provided by the networks to check how the pay per click limit is working for a certain advertiser. If its still competitive, would it be even listed among the paid search lists or does it generate sales? Of course, if the advertiser made the highest bid, the better chances the ad will be seen in the search engine. These networks too provide protection for the advertisers against click fraud. This advertising set-up allows advertisers to set a daily budget for his ads, thus, less spending for unnecessary clicks. Advertiser will never go over his budget.

In PPC advertising, what are important are the keywords and phrases. You have to select at least ten “very specific” keywords that would give you the best traffic in the search. Then, write the ad creatively but straightforward. Tell the truth about your product or service and do not lie. Good thing if your product or service will not disappoint those that are relying on your ad’s promise - but what if it did otherwise? Important too is the clarity of the ad. Do not use very vague languages. Include important details like the price.

You should also remember to budget your bids. Do not go overbidding because you will only lose your money and do not go so low that your ads will never get the chance to show up. Check your profit against your spending. If you see no progress then most likely you have to drop your ad campaign.

More and more advertisers have been using PPC advertising and it will continue to grow faster than any online advertising techniques. From revenues of $2.6 billion in 2004 to $5.5 billion in 2009, cost per click will dramatically go up as well from $0.29 to $0.36.

PPC advertising is new in online marketing and it is going to continue in the years to come. For advertisers, this means increase revenues with fewer advertising expenses, savings, more sales, good return of investment (ROI) and effective ad campaigns in the days to come.

Invest in having good programming in your site, make your graphics beautiful but don’t over do it.

Don’t waste your time making the homepage too overly large megabyte wise. Not all people have dedicated T1 connections, the faster your site gets loaded, the better. Go for a look that borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring in more business. Even then and now, a satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad. As your clientele roster grows so shall your list. With more members on the list, the more people will get to know about what you have new to offer.

4) Keep a clean and private list. Never lose the trust your customers have entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to others and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe to you. Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers.

The Death of NetworkMarketing

Posted: December 4th, 2007, 11:37am MYT by Hafiz

Hi Again…

Hafiz here…

I just got an email about Ellie Drake’s and Mike Filsaime’s Free Report called - “The Death of NetworkMarketing”

I will admit, like you may also be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to buy something…

…Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes that Network Marketing may be dying.

When I read this, I immediately thought of sharing it on my blog

The times are changing for us and it would be a shame for you or anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from whatever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now…

Thanks,

Hafiz

PS - Mike and Ellie say it will only be available for a few days or so, so do not delay…

Small Changes Effects Your Subscribers

Posted: November 28th, 2007, 12:13pm MYT by Hafiz

It’s been a while I didn’t post my updates
in this blog. You know, being a final year student,
too many projects that need to be done and
thank God, I’m on holiday now

I only have 1 semester left before I can
concentrate to my full time Internet business.

While doing my final year project, I noticed
that our lifestyles nowadays is keep on
improving. 5 years ago we use map but now…
now we can use GPS to give directions to our
destinations. The same goes to cars, mobile
phones, etc…

It also applied to Internet business. As my
friend, Kidino has done some research on how
to increase your subsribers.

Based on his research, small changes at your
websites (yes, I put “s” because if you serious
you should have more than 1 website) with the
latest design, you can increase your subscribers
from 19.33% to 23.56% !!

Maybe not a big change. With 100 visitors a day,
that’s only about 4 new visitors per day.
But multiply that by a week, by a month, by a
year… THAT’S HUGE!

You can find it here:
http://www.optindesign.com

Also make sure you listen to the audio by Gobala
Krishnan about how to generate money through e-mail
marketing. I know Gobala about 2 years now and
I’m pretty sure it will help you a lot.

1 Product with 2 Discounts

Posted: July 25th, 2007, 4:55pm MYT by Hafiz

What if you have a chance to get 1 product with 2 discount rates at 20% and 50%? I still remember when I was in form 1; the first poem that I read called “The Road Not Taken”. You have 2 choices but you have to take one. There is no turning back. If you take the 20% discount without considering the 50%, you will not get the offer back.

For an example, let say you have received this offer for one product with 20% and 50%, which one do you choose? If you want to get 20% discount, you need to buy one product at $37 but if you want the 50% discount, you have to buy it at $97.

BTW, the 50% discount offer is very limited so you have to make your decision very quick before the offer is gone but the 20% discount remains the same.

So which one do you choose?

If you want my opinion, I would say, think for the long term business. If you want to do business until the end of this month, just ignore what I have said but if you want to expand your business, think about it wisely.

I leave it to your to consider about this Cheers!

Compete with MRR and PLR sellers

Posted: July 24th, 2007, 7:59am MYT by Hafiz

Yesterday I have talked about the benefits of MRR and PLR and today I want to talk about how you can compete with other MRR/PLR sellers.

The rule in this business is too simple

Make it difference for them. If 100 peoples sell the same products, the best way is to be one level upper than them.

My idea is too simple.

When you get your MRR or PLR products, usually they will give the images or graphics that you can use. My suggestion is you create your own graphics either you do it by yourself or ask the professional to do graphic designs for your MRR/PLR products.

The simple change that I mentioned above can change the world

Something BIG is coming tomorrow, July 25, 2007. Please stick with me as I will announce this to all my subscribers and to this blog. I have created something that is limited to the first 30 only. So please bare in mind that it is very limited time offer. Cheers!

Permalink for 'Road_2_Millionaire/2007/07/23/What_If_You_Don%e2%80%99t_Have_Products_To_Sell_'

What If You Don’t Have Products To Sell?

Posted: July 23rd, 2007, 11:16pm MYT by Hafiz

If you are new to Internet Marketing business, you should know that the sweetest thing in this business is you still can make money without having a single product. It can be affiliate for certain products, be an Adsense publisher, and sell the resale, master resale right or private label right products.

In this post, I want to stress out the advantages of master resale rights (MRR) and private label rights (PLR).

Master Resale Rights (MRR)

When you buy products that said that you have the master resale rights of the products, you have the ability to sell it back. It means you can get 100% profits back from the products.

One more advantage of selling master resale right product is you also selling the resale right. People who buy the products can sell it back. By mean time you have create a credibility of yourself because you have create a new business opportunity for your buyers.

So your buyers also can sell the products

For an example, let say you have an e-book for $27 with master resale rights.

Usually they the product came with the sales letter of the products. All you have to do is to edit the sales letter with you name using Microsoft Frontpage or NVU, and then upload the sales letter to your hosting.

When people buy the master resale right product, just tell them that they have ability to sell back the product.

Private Label Rights (PLR)

I don’t know when this term came on but I think starting last year, the private label rights products has bombarded through the internet business. Many marketers talked about that. What private label rights means is that you have the ability to change everything! Yes, I say everything you can change.

Usually when you get the PLR products, seller will give it in Microsoft Word document. So you can edit everything in the content. Re-brand the .doc files by change it to your name. So now it’s your own products!

My simple idea is like this. If you have a PLR product, brand it with your name; create a sales letter like www.MalaysiaPal.com, put some of your affiliate links in it then convert it to PDF. Then, offer the product as MRR products. Isn’t that sound simple?

I will explain why you should use my idea that I stated above.

First, your credibility has increased because it’s your own products. Second, you put some affiliate links in the products. If people like the contents, for sure they will buy from your affiliate links. Third, you create the product as MRR. As long as people keep on selling your e-books, they couldn’t change the content. By accident, you have spread out your affiliate link for free. So your potential buyers have increased!

By now I have given you some ideas what if you don’t have products to sell. You can get MRR or PLR products and get the 100% profits. Oh by the way, on July 25, 2007, something BIG will happen and I get the privileged to preview the products. It’s really big! I will let you know about this tomorrow. Cheers!

Internet Marketer is a LOSER!

Posted: July 2nd, 2007, 9:51am MYT by Hafiz

Haha don’t get me wrong. I also classified myself as an Internet Marketer. Whatever you do, buy and sell through online, I would call them Internet Marketer.

As discussed by me and Peng Joon, we both agreed that internet marketing is a different world; you still can make million dollars but you slowly decreasing your social life (what we called antisocial). It just you and your laptop/PC at home.

If you want to know the true me, ask Galadriel, Smartusaha, Amirol, Gobala Krishnan and Saifulsham Team. They know the real Hafiz Latib

Get a life! Don’t just sit in front of your PC and calculate how much money that you get. Talk to your neighbours, make new friends (I don’t mean Myspace or Friendster here), and make a small meeting with other Internet Marketer. By doing that, I pretty sure you will find more values of your life.

Najmi has forwarded one video clip. It’s really interesting to watch. When I get my first million, I want to be like him

Appreciation to mohdismail.com

Posted: June 30th, 2007, 8:45pm MYT by Hafiz

If you notice this couple of month, I seldom update this blog. Before this I set my mind blog is the only place that I can get easy money, copy and paste the plr, articles and money will come in.

I was totally wrong!

I don’t like doing that. It doesn’t come sincere from my heart. I know you like my Internet business experience, not others. Oh, I embarrassed of myself and sorry for doing that.

One blog that I never miss to read is Ismail’s blog at mohdismail.com. I like his style, his writing and my important point is, from his blog, he made me to start writing back. Thanks Ismail for waking me up.

(Seriously, he did not pay me to post this, and he don’t know I posted this)

Free E-book is Great if…

Posted: June 29th, 2007, 7:36pm MYT by Hafiz

What I saw in Internet Marketing niche in Malaysia nowadays are everyone eager to write an e-book. I can say it’s great for one site and from another side, I would say the input is a crap (no offense to anyone).

Free e-book is great when you put 100% effort to do that. I have made several free e-books, some are good and some did not go well.

When creating a free e-book, you must be honest to your potential readers, what do you know and what you don’t know, put it in that e-book. Give a great value to your e-book. Remember, even it’s free; the readers are your potential customers. Once they found that the e-book is really helpful, for sure when you promote something, they will buy your upcoming products.

Don’t just make an e-book that is ready to be deleted. You get what I mean right

Here I give you some ideas how to make your free e-book looks great, and you too can make money from your e-book. I will give 3 points for this post, and then I’ll follow up some new points.

Usually to get your free e-book, the readers should subscribe to your website right? It’s a common step for follow up with your products but remember, you should remind them again in your free e-book. Put it simple like this, at your second or third page of your e-book, make a table and a hyperlink. Just put “Have you registered your free e-book? If not, go to this link below”.

The hyperlink should redirect them to the squeeze page where they can put their name and e-mail again. Also, remind that again at the bottom of your free e-book.

Make it viral. When they read your free e-book, give them options to give it away for free. Oops, this technique does not look great I think Give your readers an option to sell it at any price. So now it goes viral!

Put an affiliate link related to the content of your free e-book. Maybe you can make a resource page? Don’t go more than 10 affiliate links as it will make them a bit confuse which method should they try. Also remember, make your affiliate link look professional.

I think if you combine just these 3 techniques, you have created a value to your e-book readers! Cheers!

How Do You Set The Price?

Posted: June 27th, 2007, 2:54pm MYT by Hafiz

When you create your product, the most crucial time is how much your product worth? Some gurus said that you set the price according to your effort. And some said make it a little lowers than your competitors, so you get more sales.

So when you heard from this people and that people, you make confuse of yourself. If you ask me how to set the price, I would say go for both, high and low price.

The strategy is like this, you create 2 websites but both have the same content. The only difference is the price. One website with the price $147 and another one is $17.

Then, drive equal traffics to both sites. What I mean “equal” is you send the same traffics to both sites. Also, make sure that the traffic that comes is your potential customers as they are one step ahead to buy your product. You can try advertising at Google Adwords as they send potential customers to your site.

For site A ($147), you had 1,000 visitors and get 3 sales = $441

For site B ($17), you had 1,000 visitors and get 25 sales = $425

So the conversion rates (buyers/visitors x 100%) are 0.3% and 2.5%. You see the profit difference there? If you only make site B, you could possibly lost $16.

BUT…

Don’t stop there! Now it’s time for you to change the price for site B. Increase the price to $27 and drive the same traffics for both sites (Site A and Site B).

For site A ($147), you had 1,000 visitors and get 3 sales = $441

For site B ($27), you had 1,000 visitors and get 19 sales = $513

You get the idea? It’s time for you to lower the price for Site A, decrease the price for Site A and maintain the price for Site B. Do it frequently until you see the price for Site A and Site B approximately equal. So, that is your MAXIMUM profit you can get!

Cheers!

We’re Going to World Internet Summit (WIS)

Posted: April 11th, 2007, 12:38pm MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

Yes you heard me right? We (Najmi and I) are going to World Internet Summit next month. I know about it last month but just yesterday I intended to go there as Najmi and I have some big plan to do there…

and to be honest, this is my first time to go somewhere outside Malaysia boundary, funny isn’t?

Yes, I’m not a high class people that can travel anywhere. Peninsular Malaysia okla..lol

I will go to Singapore next month using my own money that I have generated through online businesses! (That’s why I love making money online, when you have your passion, I’m sure you also can make money online)

Some reasons why I want to there:

Cost for the seminar (26-29th of May 2007) is only SGD$197, around MYR448. Really cheap for 4 day seminar isn’t? Last time for WIS that being held in Kuala Lumpur cost RM2,755!
I can bring Najmi to go there for FREE! As mentioned in their website, I can bring one friend free, for the first 100 registration. I feel so lucky because the bonus is not close yet even the site has been launched last month! I think better you place your spot so you can divide the price into two, like what we did.
In their 1st Fat Bonus, they mentioned that we can get “World Internet Passport”. That means for the next 12 months, we can go to any WIS around the globe for Free! As I heard from some friends, they will conduct WIS in Kuala Lumpur by the end of this year. So we already get the Free ticket to go there! Yeah!
We can meet top class Internet Marketers, some of them make thousand bucks per day and we really want to learn from their experience!

a) Stephen Pierce - Strategy & Product Creation Expert
b) Ewen Chia - Affiliate Marketing Expert
c) Mike Filsaime - Viral Marketing Expert (I really want to meet him!)
d) Joel Comm - Google Adsense Expert
e) Armand Morin - Product Creation Expert
f) John Childers - Teleseminar/Public Speaking Expert
g) Tom Hua - Viral Marketing Expert
h) Brett Mcfall - Copywriting Expert
i) Jay Abraham - The Godfather of Direct Marketing
j) Mark Joyner - The Godfather of Internet Marketing

You see?? That’s the speaker for WIS that being confirmed by now. Also, some great Internet Marketer that I know will come are Kak Galadriel, Vince Tan, Kevin Riley, Ladan Lashkari (she’s really great! Even she’s Iranian, she makes 5 figure income, in USD per month!), Ian Del Carmen and many more!
I want to take photos with Ladan Lashkari if possible! Zaizen and Sufian don’t get jealous huh? Lol

Place your spot here:
[www.malaysiapal.com]

And this is my private message that I will not give to anyone. If you wish to go to WIS, using the link above to make your reservation, please inform me at support@malaysiapal.com.

I’ll personally guide you how I managed to get 6,000 subscribers in one month. And after I blast off one e-mail, I easily make RM500 - RM1,500. Again, one e-mail! This is not an e-book, videos or MP3 bonus. During breakfast/lunch/tea break/dinner, we can meet personally at WIS, I’ll tell you the secrets!

See you there! Cheers!

p/s: Lol I will take 3 days off for my industrial training. If my boss knows about this, I don’t know what to say. :p

Combination TLA - Blog

Posted: March 7th, 2007, 12:20pm MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

“Super busy!”

That’s all I can say. Busy with my work, busy with my C3 and busy with my MalaysiaPal

but…

I need to share something about Text-Link-Ads (TLA) with blog.

Google love contents. Yeah everyone knows that. And blog is the easy way to make a new contents. If you update everyday, GoogleBots will come again and again, and that’s make each contents indexed in Google more fast.

So, it’s easy to get your PR much higher. Some people, including me does not really care much about PR. Why? R2M gets an average of 100-200 visitors/day (PR4) but one of my site got 500-1000 visitors/day (PR3).

but PR is important in TLA because…

TLA set up the price according to the placement of the advertisers, Alexa ranking and Google Page Rank. For me, TLA is one of the easy way to make money. You can copy with my technique that I want to show below.

Take a look at the picture below;

Income for 3 months from December 2006. Again, see the picture below for this month;

If you notice, the money that I get is keep on increasing and I only use one blog only. What if I always update everyday?

Some tips from me about TLA;
1) As a publisher, make sure you place your site in the right category
2) You must create a good description about your blog to convince the advertisers to buy ad placement to your blog.
3) You must consider the best placement for your advertiser, so you can get much higher price for their ad placement.
4) If can, put their link for all pages (Just click “Site Wide”)
5) Limit your ad placement. For me 6 is the best (my ads space is full ) but 8 space is still ok.

So have you sign up for your TLA account. If not, click on the banner that has been shown at the sidebar above. Cheers!

Review of “The Rockefeller Files”

Posted: February 19th, 2007, 1:30am MYT by Hafiz

Are you ready to set into motion a system to
achieve total freedom in 2007?

I mean a diabolical plan that will finally
allow you the chance to tell your boss goodbye
forever.

I just finished reading an awesome report
that has inspired me to tell you about it
immediately. You can download it here.

[www.road2millionaire.com]

It is a free report that is highly motivational,
and will challenge you to look at why you may
not be succeeding online.

Keith Wellman and Eric Rockefeller decided it
was so important to introduce to the internet
marketing community that they decided to also
pay on two tiers to tell others to download
and read it.

The Great Birthday Wish!

Yes, yes! Today is my birthday and I’m a year older than yesterday. I’m 22 now but the best part is I’ve got a birthday wish from Fione Tan! Oh I really want to meet her

As an amateur Internet marketer, I also a little bit about marketing techniques using MySpace but I really believe the comment from Fione Tan above is sincere from her hearth, not using MySpace software ;)

I said like that because:

1. I use different nickname in MySpace but she called me “Bitol” only.
2. She knows I’m still study as I never thought she will know about it

For Fione, if you had a chance to read my blog, I really admire you as one of top world Internet Marketer. Wish you all the best in what you are doing. Cheers!

No Hype! I Love $7 Secrets :D

Posted: February 4th, 2007, 10:51am MYT by Hafiz

Bonus is for 100, 97, 90, 83, 77 57 people’s only.

Hafiz wrote;

Hi everyone!

Yesterday when I arrived back from Saifulsham’s convention, I’ve received lots of e-mail about $7 Secrets written by Jonathan Leger. I’m also a subcriber for his newsletter and often go to his blog to read his valuable info for internet marketing.

7 Secrets

And now, he has revealed his secret of the $7 report. At first, I really don’t care about this info product and after I do some research at WarriorForum, shockingly the topic that been discussed is super HOT! They love his report and that makes me eager to know more about this report.

And when I have purchased it, I really like it! Oops no no, I love it! For USD7, I’ve got lots of information that I never thought!

He has revealed the power of “7“. OK let me revealed some tips that I get from this report…

1. For me and many Internet marketers, setting the price is a big problem. If it’s too cheap, people will said the information will be unvaluable but if the price is high, people won’t buy it. But, he (Jonathan Leger) shows me the easiest way how to make money.

2. Refund is always the problem. With his $7 Secrets, he has revealed how to reduce the percentage of the refund. Normally for info products, 3%-7% of buyers will make a refund, and with his techniques, it can be reduce to 0.01% of refund! Isn’t that sounds good to be true? It’s like from 10,000 buyers, maybe only 1 person will make a refund!

3. Free information is not a viral marketing. From my experience, a Free product is easily to forget. People would not appreciate and the worst case, people do not open the files (Lol I also downloaded thousand of e-books but didn’t read it). But when he revealed his secrets, it makes me noticed something!

4. He also give a very valuable script that people don’t have to sign up to be an affiliate but still can give much profits to the marketer and affiliates! Really, it’s super simple.

5. I love this report

If I can give any chances to review some products, I would give 5 star for his report.

Again, this is my second book that I read that really give valuable information after Patric Chan’s e-book “List Building Success Interviews” values $27 but for me, priceless!

And for this report, it only cost of $7!

Give it a try at [www.road2millionaire.com]

By ordering your 7 Secrets through my link, I will send you my Patric Chan’s e-book “List Building Success Interviews”. Patric Chan’s e-book help me generate 6,000 subscribers within 2 months!

Oh wait, you don’t have to send an e-mail to me to get your bonus, within 24 hours I will manually send your bonus. Hey, I applied his concept for this. Lol

Bonus is for 100, 97, 90, 83, 77 57 people’s only.

The reasons I have limited this bonus are the e-book comes with resell right. You can sell it and get 100% commission. Also, I don’t want too many people know my MalaysiaPal.com secrets

So, grab it fast, and I’ll promise you, you will not regret it.

Is Overture Search Term Dead?

Posted: January 31st, 2007, 2:51pm MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

I just found one thread from WanCyber said that the Overture is not relevent anymore. So, I went to one blog that own by Apogee Search, a division of Leads Customers Growth, LLC to find out what happened.

So, I went to Apogee Search Blog and they said that Yahoo’s keyword suggestion tool hasn’t worked well for a few months. When an established company (I mean this Ethical SEO company) said like this, so maybe the rumours are true

Just wait and see if Yahoo will fix that

Dealing with Jerks

Posted: January 29th, 2007, 4:03pm MYT by Hafiz

Whatever you end up doing online, there is no getting away from Jerks. Jerks are everywhere. Usually they think they are better than you are. Their ego drives them to confront people with malicious words and actions…

Most of the time I am pretty good at ignoring them, but once in a while one will get under my skin. Sometimes they say things that are a direct blow at YOU and it becomes personal…..

BUT WAIT! I am guilty of lashing back. I’m not saying I haven’t. I need to keep myself in check…

Normally the best course of action is to walk away. Choose your battles wisely.

A jerk can really take you by surprise and make your blood boil. It can make you want to find his physical address and confront him or her…

I think the best thing to do is just take a walk. A break.

If it’s in a thread, don’t look at that thread again. Sometimes you have to defend your territory or something you believe in, but don’t get personal back… Just lay out the facts.

AS LONG as you are in business, you will have to deal with Jerks…

I used to think that people were generally good to each other. I grew up in a small town, in a middle class neighborhood, where everyone helped each other and were mostly friendly. No one stepped on each others toes. No one took advantage of each other…

Then I went in to business years ago and had a rude awakening… There are people that will seek you out and rob you blind…

Guard what you have. Take every precaution you can to protect your territory.

That Jerk you run into; keep an eye on him or her… Make a mental note. That might be the person that steals from you… They might be just having a bad day, but take note.

The world is full of Jerks and a lot of them have discovered the internet…

SOMETHING JERKS DON’T UNDERSTAND…

Building that type of reputation is not healthy. It will turn people against you that could have helped you. It will keep you from reaching your potential…

Build relationships. Help others. And don’t be a Jerk…

Competitors Are Good or Bad?

Posted: December 26th, 2006, 10:13pm MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

Yesterday I have chatted with a friend as we both in the same niche, some interesting topic arose. He said he afraid of too many newcomers into the niche and so it will reduce our profit.

So what do you think?

For me as an Internet Marketer, as a netpreneur, I am NOT afraid of newbie who come into my niche. Do the same business as mine.

And as a netpreneur, I will NOT runaway for the other niche just because many people come into the niche

Simple example, how do Nike become famous if no Adidas, Diadora, Puma, Reebok, etc and the results are really interesting, all of them are famous.

Let’s make it simple. I’ll take it as a CHALLENGE!

To compete my competitors, I’ll

1) Use my past experience to improve my skills

2) Give the best customer support

3) Use my 1001 marketing strategies (big liar! )

4) When dealing with potential customers, I’ll make sure the potential customer will become a buyer (it’s really a hard job though )

5) Promotion like I do not want to make money anymore

6) Make sure my previous customers will come to us back

7) Not forget to ask my customers to promote my website

8) Make sure my customers very happy with my product or services (Win-win situation)

9) Internet is very big so I do not afraid of any competition

So do you a REAL internet marketer? Or are you just keep changing your business because afraid of competition? The answer is inside your heart

To my friend, thousand apologize for this post. It’s for our own good.
Cheers!

Give PPC the Finger

Posted: December 12th, 2006, 11:53pm MYT by Hafiz

Hi Again…

Public Bank on Top for the Fifth Times

Posted: December 8th, 2006, 12:06am MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

It’s the forth day of my industrial training and I still didn’t do anything. What I have done is reading old newspapers, surfing the Intranet, and reading news online that can access through Intranet.

What really interest me when reading the Berita Harian (6/12/2006) is for the fifth times, Public Bank have got the best bank in Asia and Chairman, Tan Sri Dr Teh Hong Piow was announced to be the Successful Manager in Asia.

My point here is in online business, we have got two great banks that really can help us successfully.

The 2 banks are Public Bank and Maybank.

These 2 banks have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we really need these 2 banks.

If you do not have credit card or debit card, you can apply for Public Bank Debit Card or it’s called PB Visa Electron. The good point here is you can buy online without any problem. I have bought many products using my Public Bank Debit Card and it really works.

Also, you can verify your PayPal account easily. Oh ya, you can not receive your PayPal fund to your Public Bank Debit Card. Be aware of that!

And the second one is Maybank.

Maybank is the largest bank in Malaysia. If your business is mainly targeted for Malaysian, use Maybank for their first choice of payment.

Malaysian nowadays started to use online banking because it is easy, safe and secure. From my past experienced, for every 10 customers who bought my products, 9 of them will pay me using Maybank.

The problem here is, the buyers who made the payment using online banking like Maybank need to e-mail the seller that they have made the payment and want to get the product.

To solve this, on your site, you can give your bank details at the top of the page and a direct link (new window) to Maybank2U website.

Below of the page, you can create a form for the customers to paste their Maybank receipt.
That’s the tips of the day! Cheers!

Promote Your Site Using MySpace

Posted: November 29th, 2006, 10:27am MYT by Hafiz

Hafiz wrote;

I just got an e-mail from Gobala, MySpace is the forth largest website after Google, Yahoo and MSN. Seems it’s like a largest community, why not we try to promote at MySpace?

Nowadays, lot’s of Internet Marketers have talked about MySpace Marketing, Syed from WangCyber also has revealed his technique how he promote his site through My Space.

I’ve come up with a site that can make you life easier to promote using MySpace. It’s called BadderAdder, MySpace Friend Adder.

MySpace Friend Adder

BadderAdder is a very useful software how you can add lots of friends within a minute! It’s not add your new friends only but you also can send message, send comments, broadcast bulletins, accept friends request and many more.

Oh, I also forget to tell that it’s all on auto-pilot, means that it can be done automatically. Try it, sure you will like it Cheers!

Outsourcing Your Business

Posted: November 22nd, 2006, 6:08pm MYT by Hafiz

An online business consists of many essential components: website design, product creation, payment processing, salesletter, affiliate programs and so on. How about coupling that with sales and advert tracking?

When a lot of Internet marketers start out with their small home based businesses, they have totally no idea that their businesses could grow into “something that huge”. One-man eBay stores grow into full-fledged online shops run by a team of dedicated salespersons, logistics and customer support personnel. At the end, you can never manage every little aspect of your business when it grows to a certain extent, and that is when outsourcing comes in handy.

However, care must be taken to choose the right people to outsource your tasks and equal detail must be paid attention to to provide the best working environment for greatest productivity. The tasks you should outsource to people are those mundane and repetitive jobs like answering emails, keeping track of stocks and sales figures and so on. This ensures that while you hand some of your responsibilities to other people, they have the least chances of screwing up because the jobs they are handed are easy and straightforward. In contrast, never let others make decisions that will greatly affect your business if you do not want to risk losing your business overnight.

While you have to hire people on wages for some jobs such as book keeping, some jobs can also be accomplished by outsourcing to freelancers. For examples, you can get ghostwriters to write good content for your website and you can get freelance designers to spice up your merchant site. You do not need to hire these people on a regular wage because once their job is done, they do not have much follow up work to do for your business. A good resource for freelancers would be eLance.com and RentACoder.com, where freelancers and buyers have transactions on a per job basis.

When your business reaches a certain extent, you will start to find it hard to keep track of everything and this means time to outsource. Think of it this way: you may lose a little money to hire other people to do some of your daily tasks, but you earn more money from the increased productivity.
