Have Google Pay You $100 Each Month for Your Parked Domain Names!

Domain Registration giants are making a fortune from your parked domain names and their AdSense accounts. It was happening to me until a few months ago. Now I earn over $100 per month per domain name! Best of all, it's all on auto pilot. It's easy to do and takes very little time or effort. Basically it involves using your spare domain names to let AdSense generate extra paychecks for you. I'll walk you through it step by step. The most important part will be getting great content. But don't worry, we have that covered too. After some digging, I went with an inexpensive service called "Why Park?" that automatically builds fully search engine optimized sites in minutes with a few lines of really simple input. They even host the sites for you. Of course I admit I became a little biased toward their service after my first auto generated site got ranked #5 on Google just one week after it went live. All you need is a free AdSense account. If you still need to get your account just visit http://www.google.com/adsense. Step1: Get the Best Keywords; Straight from Google! It's easier than ever to find the best keywords. I use Google's own keyword database to figure out which get the most search volume with the least competition. Give it a try at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. Step 2: Hook Google with a Great Title! Let's do a real project. Let's say we have a domain name to do with custom cakes. If we enter the word "cake" into Google's free keyword tool, we'll get plenty of great ideas for what's hot. "Cake" might be too general to want to compete against but "wedding cake" and "birthday cake" are both great niches. Take your most important specific and general keyword phrases and put them together, specific first; general second. Let's use "wedding cake" and "cake". Now separate the keywords or phrases by a pipe (that vertical key over the Enter/Return key). We now have "wedding cake cake". Now go back and grab one or two more relevant keywords like "birthday cake" and "baby shower cake" and combine them like this "wedding cake cakes for birthdays, baby showers and more". Now you've covered all your bases and build a fantastic keyword rich title that won't look like keyword spamming. More importantly it's one that people will actually read. You have singular and plural versions of "cake(s)", which will also help a lot. Step 3: Get Noticed! Now we will write a META description that will really get you noticed. This is important. Not only can this tip alone get you ahead of most competitors, but it's also what readers see of your site before they decide to visit. You need to write something for people, but that search engines will like. Don't worry. It's a lot easier than it sounds. Take all of your keywords and line them up in order of importance. Since "wedding cake" gets more searches than any other, let's start there and use the same logic for the rest. Now we have, in order, "wedding cake", "cake", "birthday cake", and "baby shower cake." Be sure to improve your keyword prominence (relevance based on position) by using your best keyword within the first few words of the description, like this: "Wedding cakes made easy! Get great articles, recipes and decorating tips to make cakes for your special occasion. From triple-layer double chocolate birthday cakes to baby shower cup cake buffets; we have tips to make your special occasion delicious." As you can see, we used all of our keywords without overloading the text and broke it up a little by adding some detail. It works great! Just try to keep the description at or under 250 characters (including spaces). Step 4: Add Content That Google Loves! Why Park (http://www.WhyParkWeb.com) does 99.9% of the work for you. All you have to do is enter your keywords into the article finder provided by the "Research Your Keywords" link located beside the keywords box. Without using any imagination at all, I found 121 articles in a few seconds... "cake has 98 articles, "wedding cake" has 11 while "birthday cake" has 9 articles and "baby shower cake" has 3. That's 121 articles total. This might not sound like a lot but at an average of about 1,000 words per article that's the size of an average Harry Potter book. Add "wedding" and get another 788! That's 909 articles in 10 seconds. You get the idea - more general related keywords can take you over the top and give you a huge, content-rich search engine friendly site, in seconds! Step 5: Triple Your AdSense Earnings My click-through rate (CTR) tripled when I switched to this format. Select ad size 336 x 280. If that's too big, try 300 x 250. And try to make your ad border and ad background colors the same as your Website's background color. It helps it blend in and take away some of the "advertisement" feel. It's also usually best to go with the standard blue hyperlink color for the actual links. But with all that said, don't be afraid to experiment. This might be the cheapest controlled research you ever come across, so enjoy it. I change my ad colors (but not size) every so often to see what works best but the above method has worked best to date. Now you're ready! You can do this with no problem. Take back control of your domain names and pocket your own profits. Good luck!

Expired Domains Mean Opportunities

If you have a website, you want traffic; lots and lots of traffic, as a matter of fact. You are well aware of the fact that there are now millions of Internet users out there, and among those millions, there may be at least one or two thousand web surfers every day looking for the exact services or products that you’re selling. But there’s a problem. How do you reach out to those potential customers and make them come to your site? You probably have been very busy already with your Internet marketing. I would assume that you have submitted your site to the search engines, bought a few ads in a variety of e-zines, and perhaps even put up a couple of banners. So are you satisfied with the results you are getting from your efforts? You may have tried all that you know about promoting your site and your products, but are you getting the traffic that you wanted? If not, then maybe you need to look in other directions. But don’t worry; you won’t have to resort to illegitimate methods just to get the traffic you need. There is a perfectly ethical and legitimate way to get traffic to your site, and it’s very effective, too. But what makes this method even better is that over 95% of the people on the World Wide Web have absolutely no clue about it at all. So, have I got your attention? Let me explain it to you a bit more in detail. Have you ever considered using expired domains for pulling in traffic to your site? Probably not yet, but let me tell you, this is a great (but oftentimes overlooked) opportunity for you. Expired domains have a lot of wasted traffic coming to their site, and this traffic could be put to better use for you instead. If you’re lucky, you may even find a domain name that’s related to your business in Yahoo. This could save you an instant $200 off the Yahoo listing charge. Think of the possibilities here. For the cost of a single domain name, there could be loads of traffic just waiting for you! It costs less than $10 to register a domain name nowadays, and coupled with the potential immediate traffic, you cannot find a better deal than this. It’s estimated that over 3 million visitors are hitting an expired domain every day. That is mostly targeted traffic, and I’m willing to bet that you’d like to get a piece of that action. If so, then it’s time to start working and get those wasted traffic to your site. But why did these domains expire in the first place? There could be several reasons. Sometimes webmasters just get weary of all the work involved in developing and maintaining the site. Perhaps they become too busy with work or with their personal lives. Others may have carelessly let their domains expire without knowing it, and several may have met with financial problems, so they just stopped maintaining the site. One good thing about this whole situation, though, is that the traffic that these expired domains have generated since the time they were active just keeps on coming. If you’re a virtual realtor in cyberspace, this could make for some very attractive real estate indeed. Registering expired domains need some careful research on your part, though. Most important of all, you have to be certain that the domain’s traffic isn’t coming from websites that you’d want to avoid at all costs, like porn sites or such. Now, if you have done your job and made sure that the traffic is satisfactory, you have two options for taking advantage of your new domain. First option is to redirect the traffic from the previously expired domain to your own site. Second option is to sell off the domain, which could be very profitable for you, depending on how heavy the traffic is.

How To Generate Emergency Money NOW!

Over the past 11 1/2 years, I've created dozens of information products, and sold hundreds of affiliate products. I've discovered what does and what doesn't work in quickly creating AND marketing information products. I've also shared with dozens of clients, and thousands of subscribers, my very successful methods for earning a living online. When I say shared, I'm referring to those who were willing to listen and apply what I taught them. Those who listened, but didn't do, aren't counted in that number because to me "sharing" is a two-way communication. Today, I'd like to share with you exactly what I've instructed dozens of people to do when they've came to me with cash-flow emergencies. These were people who usually came to me looking for a loan or a hand-out. Instead, I usually had them do what I'm about to share with you. I've learned over the year that giving handouts too quickly only conditions the person to come back a few weeks later for another handout. I believe that it's important to teach them a proven method for extricating themselves from such situations. Here's the exact plan that I've directed many people to follow: 1) Look around you, and identify two large, related problems that you could create two information product as solutions to. These need to be painful enough problems that people are acutely aware of, that they desperately want to solve , and that they'll pay for good solutions to. You generally want related problems because the plan calls for selling both solutions to the SAME people. You're going to sell the first solution through affiliates, giving them the majority of the money, and then you're going to keep at least half of the money on the second (backend) product. You're going to set up you sales process so that you "lead" with one product and then offer the second product as an upsell, or special offer after the first purchase is made. The reason that you're going to pay your affiliates so much is that you need them NOW. Without their enthusiastic promotion of your products, this plan often CAN'T work very quickly. The most CRITICAL part of this whole plan is step 1, and the most CRITICL part of step 1 is making sure that you identify a real problem that people actually want to solve. Otherwise, you end up creating products that no one will buy. When I look at why products fail, the number one reason (in my opinion) is that demand wasn't verified beforehand). Teaching you how to do the research is beyond the scope of this short article, but it only needs to take an hour or two. It IS too important to skip. An excellent guide to conducting painless research is Steve Wagenheim's "Niche Research Revolution." If you need help with the research, it's at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/SteveWagenheim/ 2) Create the solution (product), or better yet, modify and improve on an existing solution. If you are good at researching, or already an expert on a topic, then by all means write an ebook on it, or create a piece of software that solves a big problem. At the same time, in many niches you are surrounded by thousands of experts who have already done the majority of the work for you. They've already created the product and will often sell (or even GIVE) you the rights to it. Then all you need to do is refine and improve on these product that you have "Private Label Rights" to. Just go to any search engine, and do a search on your keywords plus the term "private label right" or "PLR," and you'll locate dozens of sources. Alternatively, just visit my blog, and you'll often discover dozens of people giving away private label rights for various reasons. That blog is at: http://WillieCrawford.com/blog/ Simply sit down and refine those PLR products (where someone has already done 90% of the work) into something truly valuable. 3) Get a few people to critique your product, offering you feedback that both allows you to improve your solution and that perhaps you can use as testimonials. After your product is created, simply post on a discussion forum (after confirming that it's permissible) that you are looking for product reviewers. You'll get dozens of volunteers. If you don't get dozens of volunteers, I would take that as an indication that you haven't really found a painful enough problem... at least not one that that particular community cares about. Do one product all the way through until it's ready to launch and then do the other one. For many people, doing them simultaneously is too confusing. 4) Set these products up for sale with their own affiliate program. Use a system such as Rapid Action Profits that allows you to pay instant commissions. The instant commissions are "key" because instant cashflow is as important to many of your potential affiliates as it is to you. You'll recruit lot of affiliates who are promoting your products almost on impulse. That's great! You want people who will promote your product today rather than a week or two from now. I recommend Rapid Action Profits as the affiliate program platform because it's inexpensive, easy to set up, and you can use it on as many different websites (with as many different products as you want) after purchasing the software just once. I use it on over a dozen websites. You can get RAP here: http://TheRealSecrets.com/RapidActionProfits/ Rapid Action Profits is designed to work with Paypal, meaning that you don't need a merchant account, and that anyone with a Paypal account can become one of your affiliates. 5) Recruit affiliates by posting to forums that have a "joint ventures" section. Post to communities set up to facilitate your recruiting affiliates such as JV Alert and The International Association of Joint Venture Brokers. Announce to your email list that you are looking for affiliates. Private Message (PM) or email ideal affiliates that you've noticed promoting similar products, and ask them directly to promote yours. Be very clear in these communications or you're likely to get declined or to not get firm commitments to promote your products. 6) Turn customers into affiliates. Email customers who have purchased your previous products thanking them, and pointing out your new product(s). Explain why it's a match for them and rather than focusing on making a sale, make your focus recruiting them as an affiliate (if appropriate). Set up your autoresponder system so that any time anyone purchases your product they are automatically invited to become an affiliate. Consider adding a blurb right on your download page that invites them to join your affiliate program. Your best potential affiliate ARE those who know and like your product, so it makes perfect sense to recruit customers as affiliates. 7) Use article marketing to generate interest and find customers. Write a 500 - 1000 word article that: a) Describes the problem that your product solves. b) Explains why this really IS a problem that they DO want to resolve. c) Proves why your product is the perfect solution. Submit these articles to every appropriate article directory that you can locate as well as post them on your blogs, your sites, and on discussion forums that have article sections. If you can afford it, use an article submission service such as ISnare.com or ThePhantomWriters.com. This will save you considerable time and quickly get your articles in 100 times as many places. 8) Leave "the land of excuses" and just do it! Make the decision that you're going to implement this plan, and then instead of looking for reasons why you can't implement it, look at the very real reasons why you MUST implement this plan. Acknowledge that the key to the success of your plan is taking massive, immediate action, and refusing to EVER give up. 9) Update, test and track your sales process. As your articles, affiliates, and emails drive traffic through your site, evaluate how well your sales letters are converting. The ability to split-test, and determine the exact conversion rates for your sales letters is built right into Rapid Action Profits. Test four or five different versions of the sales letter changing only minor things on each one, such as the main headline or the number of testimonials. When you discover one sales letter that works better than others, keep the one that is working, but then create a slightly different version of the winner to test against your new "control." 10) Rinse and repeat. Once the sales start coming in, and you see that this formula does indeed work, use the same system to roll out other products. You are now building an army of active, happy affiliates. Offer them other, equally-lucrative products to promote. Don't allow the momentum to stop once you get it going - that's incredibly wasteful. 11) IMPORTANT: Slow down enough to act rationally rather than in desperation. I put this step at the bottom because I want it at the top of your mind as you get started. As you implement this simple, proven plan, make sure that you take a deep breath and don't act out of desperation. People who feel like that "HAVE" to get results today, often make very bad decisions. Slow down enough to make sure that you're actually doing each of the preceding 10 steps, and in particular make sure that you really confirmed that what you're offering the market is something that they want. I've watched dozens of people use this exact method when they suddenly found themselves needing to make a house payment, pay a medical bill, or catch up with mortgage payments... and their bank balance was "less than zero." This system does work. If you really examine it, there's nothing magical or mysterious about it. It's just common sense, and taking massive action. Now it's time for you to apply both :-)

Currency Exchanging...Turning Computers into Cash Registers

By the time you finish reading this you'll know all about the newest way to make money online. It's called Currency Exchanging! When I say Currency Exchanging people often think that I mean Foreign Exchange, Day Trading, Buying and Selling of Stocks and things that involve risk. This is totally different. In reality, there are global currency exchanges available that will pay you in excess of 20% of your working capital in a period of days, all risk-free. This is a business that you can do from home with your computer. There's no selling involved. There's no recruiting involved because this is not a multi-level marketing company or an affiliate program of any kind. Once you know what to do you don't need anyone else to make a nice daily income for yourself. I came across this program by accident late last year. In November of 2004, I learned how to set everything up and put $500 in which started making money right away. I decided to take a little break through the Christmas holidays and by the end of January 2005 I had made over $13,000 profit with very little work. Once you've made this money you can cash-out and spend it with a debit card or use your profits to buy units of Gold and put this money into a portfolio that will pay you a risk-free 2% a day. On the downside there is a small learning curve and you'll need a computer that's connected to the internet. As far as making money is concerned, this system has 2 parts. The Console and the Portfolio. Let's start with the Console first. The easiest way to understand how you make money with your console is to use the example of the ATM machine at your local gas station……. Imagine that you are the person who fills the ATM with fresh $20 bills every 3 or 4 days. When you put your money in the machine you are paid a nice commission and when the money is all used up you also get a bonus as well. You see an ATM machine never loses money because it always charges that $2.00 service fee for every withdrawal that's made. These fees are used to pay you your commissions and bonuses. The company's name is DX Gold and they are a reputable financial network kind of like PayPal or Storm pay but 1000 times bigger. Major corporations and businesses are using DX for transferring millions of dollars globally for making purchases and sending huge payrolls… 1.7 Trillion dollars a day to be exact. Now let's say a businessman in Japan wanted to buy some Persian rugs from a company in Arabia. The Japanese would have Yen to spend and the Arabian would expect to be paid in his currency, which is Dinars. This is where a common “go-between” like DX Gold makes perfect sense. The Japanese sends his payment through DX Gold where it is put into the Arabian's account, but he can't touch it just yet. The Arabian sends the carpets to Japan and a couple of days later they arrive. Everything checks out and the Japanese businessman gives the OK to DX Gold to release the funds to the Arabian. DX Gold collects its fee and both parties are protected and happy with the results. They'll probably do business this way, again and again. DX Gold doesn't use a bank for their funding. Over the last 5 years they've perfected a much more efficient way to do this and that's where you and I come in. We become, what is know in the industry as Money Merchants. And we are paid handsomely to supply funding with bonuses and commissions. This can be $5-$50-$500 to $5,000 or more depending on the current demand…..which is always high. When you put money in you receive an instant commission of 3-5% and when this money is given back you receive a bonus of 6-9%. Your payments are securely made to your own account and all information is supplied to you in one place…Your Console. Here's where it gets interesting…DX Gold is owned by GDT. GDT holds the patent on the Retinal Scan. You see the eyeball is like a human fingerprint except much better……10,000 defining points on the eyeball …..Not letters or numbers….but symbols….When the eyeball is scanned you have a 10,000 symbol password that is impossible to hack or crack. Now…..What is the number one concern on the Internet today?…..Security, right. Security from Fraud and Identity Theft! DX Gold will be the only global financial network with a Retinal Scan. Are you starting to see the Big Picture? This business has been around for about 5 years but unless you know someone who's involved that can show you what to do, (you won't lose any money), but you can make a lot more, a lot quicker. It gets even better when you add your Portfolio profits. Income that you've made with your console and money that you want to invest can be used to buy increments of Gold from over 150 registered companies worldwide. This adds to your portfolio's diversification and any money in this Gold Portfolio receives 2% interest every day. If that weren't enough DX will automatically lend you (based on your portfolio amount) 80% to buy more increments of Gold for your portfolio and you never have to pay them back. After all, it is your money. So if you have $100 in your portfolio, they will lend you $80 to buy more gold so your portfolio will grow immediately to $180 and you will be paid interest on that amount in the next session. This process will continue again and again. Within a month $100 will become $400; $1000 will become $4200. Personally, I saw my own portfolio jump from 11,000 to 26,000 dollars in less than 1 month. That's a $15,000 increase. This compounding effect is very powerful. Lastly, let me share this with you. Once you have built a sizeable Portfolio…which doesn't take long working with your console. DX Gold will approach you to become what is known as an LDX….Licensed DX Merchant. This is when you are assigned a Fortune 1000 company as your client and you alone would act as their private Money Merchant. This would amount to millions. I recently explained this business to a colleague - a keen business entrepreneur who hadn't made any serious income from any of the online ventures he'd tried. He was now very skeptical and fearful of all money-making programs. This is what he wrote to me later: "I don't know how to thank you enough for the information you described to me over the phone the other day, it helped me enormously!" The following week he sent me this message: "This account continues to build income everyday and again last night – I've been trading for under an hour a day and my account continues to grow at a very strong rate. I finally found something that makes money. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's brilliant!!!!!!!" Now that you are armed with this information you might want to look into this option a little deeper.

The Shocking Truth About How To Start An Internet Business......Part 4

Finding People As your business grows, so does your need for support staff. Whether that's professional project management, accounting, call center or distribution support, these new employees should align with your core business values and objectives. Before you recruit employees, define your business vision and mission. Identify your ideal business culture. Do you support an open-door policy or a more formal structure? Do you want a casual atmosphere or conservative team? Are you looking for progressive or diversified employees? Hire right the first time to ensure long-term loyalty and minimal turn-over. When you're first starting out, it's more financially feasible to outsource work. For instance web and graphic design, programming and IT, copy writing, legal and accounting/CPA/payroll are common services businesses outsource both at the outset and into establishment. Outsourcing eliminates payroll, annual salary increase, unemployment, insurance and retirement benefit, equipment and space expenses while offering improved experience and expertise. You gain the advantage of using services without a costly long-term commitment should your business slow. Other alternatives include temporary staffing centers or employee leasing. Cash-strapped start-ups can even hiring paid or unpaid interns. Temporary staffing gives you immediate access, experienced personnel, lower training requirements and overtime fees plus reduced turnover. When your needs extend beyond six months, hire your new temp as a permanent employee, or recruit a long-term, permanent candidate. When its in your best interest to expand your team, talk with friends, professional associates, customers, vendors, colleagues and others in your personal and professional network to get recommendations. You can also contact college, trade, vocational or high school placement offices and the local employment agency to find candidates. Trade or industry publications offer targeted advertising, while online job websites and newspaper advertisements are a more traditional and broad-reaching option. Once you have a loyal and established employee base, save money on recruiting by implementing an employee referral program. These programs give employees cash bonuses for referrals resulting in a hire. You should also establish a competitive employee retention plan to sustain qualified workers, keep your recruiting expenses low and productivity high. Planning and Building Your Online Storefront Organization is key to making sales and offering a pleasant shopping experience. Your customer is busy and wants to accomplish tasks quickly with minimal frustration. They also want to find a clean and pleasing atmosphere, layout and design. Once you intrigue your visitor with your main landing page, your goal is to keep them there with simple navigation and fast check-out. Jacob Nielsen, Ph.D., a leading website usability authority, User Advocate and principal of the Nielsen Group, explains: "The first law of e-commerce is that if users cannot find the product, they cannot buy it either." Your website is basically just an electronic catalog with a bit more technology. Use design, copy, multimedia and photographs that inform your visitor and help them buy your products. In studies, researchers found that nearly half of all sales are lost because visitors simply cannot use the site. Multiply this by the repeat business lost from the same customers and your numbers grow exponentially. While many businesses strive to be unique, websites should use the standard navigation structure and labels of major brands. Pioneering Internet firms like Amazon have set the standard in customers' minds, making it intuitive to visit links like: - Your Account - Shopping Cart - About Us - Contact Us - Help - Search - Press - Careers Before contacting a website designer, analyze your products and audience carefully. Outline your navigation structure ensuring it takes few clicks to reach your intended objective - a sale. Know the expectations and experience level of your user. For instance, teenagers will be more fluent with computers and the Internet in general, though they may also be less sophisticated in reading or research strategies and have a lower patience threshold. They'll further need clever graphics and innovations to keep their interest. Jacob Nielsen offers ten important website usability guidelines. These are: Make the Site's Purpose Clear: Explain Who You Are and What You Do 1. Include a One-Sentence Tagline 2. Write a Window Title with Good Visibility in Search Engines and Bookmark Lists 3. Group all Corporate Information in One Distinct Area Help Users Find What They Need 4. Emphasize the Site's Top High-Priority Tasks 5. Include a Search Input Box Reveal Site Content 6. Show Examples of Real Site Content 7. Begin Link Names with the Most Important Keyword 8. Offer Easy Access to Recent Homepage Features Use Visual Design to Enhance, not Define, Interaction Design 9. Don't Over-Format Critical Content, Such as Navigation Areas 10. Use Meaningful Graphics Send your planned navigation outline to your website designer. Then, once your website's developed, gather a test group of about 10 people. Let each person run through various tasks on your website without offering help or guidance. Take notes on areas of confusion and make adjustments. If you have heavy traffic, phase in changes gradually to minimize confusion. We've all gone to the grocery store right after a reorganization, only to become even more frustrated when we can't locate the Lays or light bulbs. People get used to the way things are, good or bad.

The Shocking Truth About How To Start An Internet Business......Part 3

Your first three years of business are critical to your success - or failure. Not only do start-up businesses have heavy one-time, up-front expenses, but they're also tight on cash and funding. So your first task is to create a realistic budget. This acts as your blueprint for success. Your preliminary budget outlines expected and conservative income figures. Start with broad expense categories like utilities and income, breaking these out into more detailed line items like Utilities: telephone, Utilities: gas, Income: paperbacks, Income: hardbacks, and so forth. Expenses are typically easier to project than income. But income grows more and more predictable as time goes by. For this reason, review and adjust your budget quarterly and annually based on new data. (We'll talk more about this in the final installment of this series). Differentiate your one-time expenses (business license, legal fees, signage, sales literature, and so forth) from your ongoing expenses (leasing, utilities and insurance). Project figures out a full three years with growth dependent on market research or educated estimation. Add an extra 25 percent to all expenses to cover unforeseen or emergency events. Survive on as little capital investment as possible during your first few years to ensure survival until you reach profitability. Buy and budget only those items necessary to generate revenue. Organize your budget into fixed and variable expenses. Your fixed costs are those which remain stagnant from month to month, including your building lease, utilities, advertising and insurance, while your variable expenses are typically dependent on sales, like commissions, inventory and shipping. Avoid optional or unnecessary purchases. Nearly every penny you save goes into your pocket. So don't give in to temptation by spending $1,000 on a new desk. Buy only what's necessary to generate revenue and allocate money toward items receiving the strongest ROI. You can always upgrade down the road once your businesses is better established and income is more predictable. The leaner your organization, the better. Finding Funding Every business needs start-up capital. These funds help you purchase furniture and fixtures, computers and inventory while still bringing in a livable wage during the first few years when most companies see more red than black. But how much you need and where this funding comes from differs from business to business. According to a Biz$hop article for Wachovia, the country's fourth largest bank and diversified financial services company, more than 17 percent of start-ups launch with less than $5,000 cash. So before you develop a funding acquisition plan, calculate how much money your business can realistically generate to finance its own expenses. Then define exactly how much money you need to cover necessities, expansion or possible risks. Start-ups have several options for acquiring funding - from mom and dad to venture capital partners. Begin with your own resources including savings accounts or home equity. Next, tap into your family and friends. Next, research venture capital firms. These are companies that finance start-up ventures who have limited access to capital markets but need quick growth. Angel investors are another source of business financing. Angel investors are successful entrepreneurs that have money to invest in other companies. Newspaper ads and person-to-person networking is the best way to find angel funding sources. The Small Business Administration (SBA) also licenses Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment companies (MSBIs) and Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) to help fund critical growth stages. Many small businesses have survived the first few years using credit cards and personal loans. Working or investment partners can bring in funding or services that can save your company money. For instance, if you partner with an attorney or a designer, you save a great deal on legal or design fees. When you need stronger financing, you'll need to discuss these goals with a commercial bank, savings and loan or finance company. You may qualify for a small business or SBA loan or line of credit. But make sure you have sufficient collateral to guarantee funding in the event of default. Borrowers want to make sure they give credit to start-ups that have as much confidence in their own success as the bank would be offering in loans.

The Shocking Truth About How To Start An Internet Business......Part 2

Carefully defining your audience before conducting any marketing or advertising efforts can save thousands of dollars and hours of wasted efforts. Audience research and awareness also helps you organize and design your website to appeal to this demographic. Your audience is anyone who uses your site - from reading it to ordering on it and navigating through it. Start by defining personal aspects of your audience to reach specific answers that can further your business. Identify the following: 1. Their sex (percentage of male and female) 2. Their age (the dominant age range and categories) 3. Their technical ability 4. The number of years they've used the Internet 5. Their primary language 6. Their buying motives (economy, efficiency, durability, performance, labor- or time-saving, construction, operation, ease of repair or installation, availability, quality craftsmanship, etc.) 7. What emotions cause them to buy (need for security or convenience, curiosity, pride of appearance or ownership, prestige, fear, need for individuality, need for recognition, etc.) 8. How much money do they earn each year, and how much of this is disposable? 9. How much money do they spend each year on products similar to yours? 10. Where do they live? 11. Do they shop online? If so, how often? 12. Do they watch television, read the newspaper or search online? From these questions, you can deduce the most effective means of advertising and promotion. You'll also identify the best way to reach into their pocketbooks using the right copy, design and user navigation. Will they see a Google AdWord ad if you started a campaign? Do they want a hip, creative or bare bones design? Will your site be compatible with their browser? The answers should unfold. When you're just starting out, your audience demographic data is often based on your own instinct and research. As you develop your business, conduct user surveys to fine-tune the actual figures. Then repeat this step every one to two years to ensure you're always marketing and selling toward the right clientele. Stay tuned for Part Four: Setting Your Business Structure in this ten part series. Developing a Sales, Marketing and Business Plan Though it may seem like wasted time, careful business planning is a critical task when launching any new business. Your sales, marketing and business plans force you to develop action items that can propel your business to the next level. Further, If you need funding, investors will need to see where your business is going - and how you plan to get there. Your business plan describes your company, its competitive landscape, operational structure, possible threats to its success and plans to avoid these threats. You'll also want to tell investors and other interested parties where your business capital lies, along with offering projected finances for five to ten years out. This plan typically includes an Executive Summary, Business Description, Market Strategies, Competitive Analysis, Development Plan, Operations Plan, Management Background or Bios and a Financial Overview section. Business plans typically range from 20-50 pages, with some even longer depending on the amount of detail you want to include. Once you've created your business plan, research your audience and create a similar plan for your marketing and sales objectives. Carefully determine who your customers are, what their buying habits are and where they shop. Estimate their income and education level. Outline distribution channels, suppliers and competitors. Once you have firm insight into your sales objectives, you can plan a winning advertising campaign. Revisit your plans annually to adjust figures, forecasts and strategies. You'll be surprised, looking back, at the progress you've made and the accomplishments you've reached in just one year's time.

Where Can I Find A Reliable Website SEO Company

When you are looking for a way out make sure that your website gets the traffic it needs to survive on the internet, the search engines are one of the most important tools that you can use. About 80% of all traffic on the internet goes through a search engine and a very vast proportion of that traffic goes through Google. When you take that into account, you will be aware that if someone is going to find your site, they will in all likelihood do so using Google or a related search engine. There are many companies out there that can help your website get picked up, and to find the right one for you, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. Search engines like Google use complicated formulas to bring up the searches that are requested. While the use of the search string (as it is stated) is important, Google will also use things like keyword concentrations, the prevalence of relevant terms, and how relevant the rest of the text is to what the person is talking about. Another example that Google will use is the prevalence of links that lead to your site; in some ways, this is very much like a popularity contest. An SEO company that knows its business will be aware of everything a search engine will use to find your site, and then it will put in a lot of work towards making your site one of the first few results that the search engines will pull up. When you consider the fact that most browsers never go down past the first few hits and even fewer make it to the second page, you can see why this is so important! Getting a good SEO company can give you a real boost in traffic and sales. There are several things to keep in mind when you are hunting for an SEO company that will get you the results you need. The first thing is to find one that has worked in your industry before. If you work in a special field, it is always good to get an SEO consultant who is familiar with that field and will have an understanding of who will be looking for you. Look around for SEO companies who have worked with your competitors, or preferably, you can get a recommendation via word of mouth. When you have a few possibilities, check out their testimonials and the techniques that they use. Send them polite inquiries and judge their responses the way that you would judge any contractor. Do they have a good record for a timely response and do they have a clearly ethical viewpoint towards SEO procedures? There are some procedures that will essentially “trick” people into coming to your site, but in the end, because they are essentially cheats, it will do more harm than good. When you are looking for an SEO company to get your website higher in the search engine results page, remember to look for competence, experience and reliability. A good SEO company can take your business a long way, so be sure to get the best!

5 Reasons Why Blogging is the New Internet Marketing Tool

Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing webpage, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out one’s opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blog’s potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool. 1.Blogging is simple. The simplest way to get your piece on the net is through blogging. No skills are necessary… an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. It’s like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (who doesn’t?) then you can blog and advertise. 2. Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters’ claims. However, in blogs, real people share their real-life experiences, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product. 3. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for free webtime is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Needless to say, paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business. 4. Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry, your readers come to realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon get in touch with you for advertising on your blog page, or make you an affiliate, which pays for every referral generated from your blog site. 5. Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging: -By using your e-mail. Today, blogging is overcoming the e-mail’s popularity in quickly and effectively reaching and expanding a market. In this age of speed and quick access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog site. Let them explore your site by using a short e-mail message as teaser to your blog site. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature to give a link to the site. -By using subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blogsite. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer. -By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview. -By joining a blog network –A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one. -By using RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site. Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.
