Success For Your Business

Posted by admin on May 14th, 2012

What does it take to make a business successful? What does it take to make your business successful?

Make no mistake: Starting, growing and building a successful business is possibly one of the biggest decisions you will make.

It is also probably the most exciting, challenging, personally satisfying and best decision you can ever make in your professional life. Setting your own schedule, being your own boss, calling your own shots…there is nothing like it.

These ten keys are the keys to your success. Follow these and you will create the lifestyle and business of your dreams.

Belief – To have belief in your products or services and your industry is essential. But most of all, it is your belief in yourself that makes all the difference. You will achieve only what you believe in.

Commitment – A commitment is your pledge to do whatever it takes to get the job done – no matter what. When you are committed, you persist. You don’t quit.

Contribution – Always give more than you take. It will build your business strong with integrity and good will, which in turn rewards you with good profits.

Goals – Your goals are your objectives. They provide a direction for your efforts and a way to measure your progress. You must have clearly defined, written goals. It is imperative to your success.

Knowledge – Knowledge is power, or so it’s said. But really, knowledge in action is power. Continually gather knowledge in your endeavor and put that knowledge to good use.

Partnership – You may be in business for yourself, but rarely by yourself. Build strong relationships with those you partner with in your business. Never burn a bridge and always cultivate win-win relationships.

Personal Growth – Most successful business people will tell you that personal growth and development was essential to their success in their business endeavors. Personal growth is a lifelong learning process. Practice it every single day. No matter how
much you think you know, there’s always more.

Take Action – Plan your work, work your plan. You must have a business plan that incorporates SDA’s – Specific Daily Actions. You must put first things first, prioritize and follow through.

Treat It Like A Business – There is no substitute for treating your new endeavor like a business. Regardless of how much it cost you in time or money to get started, you must treat it like a million dollar business each and every day. Even if it’s a part time business, treat it with respect.

Vision – Vision is a mental picture of all the achievements you aspire to and have yet to bring into being. It’s the source of all of your beliefs, expectations, motivations and actions. It’s the key to your future. Design the movie (vision) of your life and watch it unfold.

Starting an eCommerce?

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2012

First off, Just in case you dont know what e-Commerce is..
It’s Electronic commerce, commonly known as (electronic marketing) e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks

Now, a good Basic Start.

STEP 1
Get a Good Domain Name and Web Hosting Server:
GoDaddy.com The Best One.
TMD Hosting cPanel, For Advanced Users.
$5.00 / Month Free Domain Name.

Be sure you have a PayPal Account.

STEP 2
Now do a Search for Zen-Cart. Its a Free Basic e-Commerce Program. It’s a PHP Script that has a Step-by-Step on how to set it up.

STEP 3
Once you’ve installed it on your Computer and you have your Hosting and Domain, Upload the whole script to your site and run the Installation Program.

STEP 4
Sign up for the DropShip Program.
The DropShip Program is a Warehouse that lets you sell their Products (They have over 1 million products) at whatever price you want to sell.
When a Customer orders their products from your site, they do all the work. They fill out the paperwork, which will show that its from your company and your name. Then they will dropship direct to your customer.

It’s very simple and easy. You don’t have to stock or shipping products. You don’t have to deal with the Paperwork or anything like that. It’s like having your own warehouse.

Then there you go. Your VERY OWN Store that will get listed on Google and other Search Engine as being a useful site.

STEP 5
GET Traffic. (See other Articles on ‘How To Get Traffic On Newly Made Sites‘)

NOTE: Even if you don’t do the Dropship and you have your own Products to sell, Zen-Cart is still a good program for that.
It calculates shipping, creates receipts, has built-in shopping cart, links up with paypal for secure payments, select quantities, and many more.

Social Media/Social Networking

Posted by admin on March 12th, 2012

The differences between social media and social networking are just about as vast as night and day. There are some key differences and knowing what they are can help you gain a better understanding on how to leverage them for your brand and business.

1. By Any Definition

Social media is a way to transmit, or share information with a broad audience. Everyone has the opportunity to create and distribute. All you really need is an internet connection and you’re off to the races.

On the other hand, social networking is an act of engagement. Groups of people with common interests, or like-minds, associate together on social networking sites and build relationships through community.

2. Communication Style

Social media is more akin to a communication channel. It’s a format that delivers a message. Like television, radio or newspaper, social media isn’t a location that you visit. Social media is simply a system that disseminates information ‘to’ others.

With social networking, communication is two-way. Depending on the topic, subject matter or atmosphere, people congregate to join others with similar experiences and backgrounds. Conversations are at the core of social networking and through them relationships are developed.

3. Return on Investment

It can be difficult to obtain precise numbers for determining the ROI from social media. How do you put a numeric value on the buzz and excitement of online conversations about your brand, product or service? This doesn’t mean that ROI is null, it just means that the tactics used to measure are different. For instance, influence, or the depth of conversation and what the conversations are about, can be used to gauge ROI.

Social networking’s ROI is a bit more obvious. If the overall traffic to your website is on the rise and you’re diligently increasing your social networking base, you probably could attribute the rise in online visitors to your social efforts.

4. Timely Responses

Social media is hard work and it takes time. You can’t automate individual conversations and unless you’re a well-known and established brand, building a following doesn’t happen overnight. Social media is definitely a marathon and not a sprint.

Because social networking is direct communication between you and the people that you choose connect with, your conversations are richer, more purposeful and more personal. Your network exponentially grows as you meet and get introduced to others.

5. Asking or Telling

A big no-no on with social media is skewing or manipulating comments, likes, diggs, stumbles or other data, for your own benefit (personal or business). Asking friends, family, co-workers or anyone else to cast a vote just to cast it, doesn’t do anyone much good for anyone and it can quickly become a PR nightmare if word leaks out about dishonest practices.

With social networking, you can tell your peers about your new business or blog and discuss how to make it a success. The conversations that you create can convert many people into loyal fans, so it’s worth investing the time.

Social media and social networking do have some overlap, but they really aren’t the same thing. Knowing that they’re two separate marketing concepts can make a difference in how you position your business going forward.

Cloaking Affiliate Links

Posted by admin on February 22nd, 2012

One of the most important components to your entire affiliate empire is the links you use to get those sales. These links can be slapped on for the whole world to see, or they can be cloaked so that it glaringly obvious that they are affiliate links. Most wise old affiliate sages believe that cloaking the links is the best overall practice.

Affiliate marketing isn’t new. People have been utilizing affiliate links for years, so many readers will know an affiliate link a mile away. Some won’t, of course, but many will. This means that an uncloaked link with your affiliate number out in the open for all to see is too easily manipulated if the buyer should decide they don’t want you to have the sale. They may also decide they feel like giving the sale to themselves rather than you, and get their own affiliate link to use. And, there are a lot of marketers out there that make joining their affiliate network easy in order to take advantage of sales like that. I could name a few sites that do, but I won‘t. Suffice it to say that if the buy link is right next to the become an affiliate link, they probably anticipate lots of buyers joining to get a commission on their own sale. With a cloaked link, the buyer may not realize that the sale is going to someone else, or how easy it is to switch the numbers. If you have a high number of sales and only two or three people a month try to switch the link, it is still worth it to cloak.

Another problem with cloaked links is that some of them just look bad. You have probably seen affiliate links that are long and convoluted, with a never ending stream of numbers and letters. That is just unattractive. It also may make internet newbies wonder what the heck that thing is and whether it contains a virus or the plague. If you don’t want to cloak the link altogether you might think about shortening it to make it look a little more attractive.

There are those out there, however, who recommend keeping the link as is, no matter what the thing looks like, to avoid any appearance of dishonesty. This may go well with your own affiliate philosophy, or you may have difficulty with the technical aspects. Either way, there are still sales out there to be made, but you can anticipate losing a few to link changers. When trying to decide whether to cloak, you should take a look at your page and try to see what other people see. Does the link look easy and non-threatening? How hard would it be to just cut out the affiliate number? What is the content like on the rest of the page? If the page is all about honesty and trust, do you really want to then cloak the link? The links should fit in with the style and content of your page. Cloaked, as long as the link flows well on the page and will invite readers to click, there will still be sales made.

eMail Link Exchange Request

Posted by admin on February 10th, 2012

Improving the link popularity of your web site helps you to get higher search engine rankings. (Not sure what “link popularity” is? Read about link popularity.)

A good way to increase the link popularity of your web site is to contact other webmasters. Nowadays, webmasters get many link exchange email messages so it’s more difficult to get noticed.

Do the following things to make sure that webmasters reply to your link exchange request:

1. Don’t require too much action from the other webmaster

Some people write link exchange messages that read like this: “If you want to exchange links with us, click this, go here, and fill out this to make a request.”

Remember that you ask the other webmaster and not the other way around. Link to the other web site first and tell the other webmaster where he can find the link.

2. Don’t teach the other webmaster about search engine optimization

Don’t tell the other webmaster how great the effect of a link exchange will be for the search engine ranking of both web sites. The other webmaster probably knows this anyway. Some people don’t like to be taught in an email message they didn’t request.

3. Keep your email message short.

Don’t bore the other webmaster with long email messages. Come straight to the point, tell the other webmaster where he can find his link and where he can find easy to use copy/paste code for the link to your site.

4. The request email

When I receive link request emails, anything that has a generic subject line (i.e. attn webmaster, link request, We linked to your site! etc)

Makes ludicrous claims (ie.e we believe …)
Doesn’t use personal names (i.e. Dear Site Owner — you want a link from me – find out my name!)
Resembles an automated form email from bots
Contains excessive grammar/spelling mistakes
Are long and tells me how good links are for me etc etc etc.
goes to the trash.

5. Don’t ask for a link if the other web site is totally unrelated to your site

Many webmasters don’t like it when they receive a request from a totally unrelated web site. Most people will only link to another web site if the other web site has something to offer for their visitors. Only write to related web sites.

6. Quality of content

I try to make sure that my links come from pages with original content that are not sourced from an affiliate program or duplicated hundreds of times on the Internet. I want links from websites that someone seemingly to have taken time and effort to put together. In addition, it is steer clear of ecommerce sites that is only recently launched and heavily SEOed.

7. Link to the other web site first

Make sure that you link to the other web site before asking for a link back. Why should the other webmaster link to you if you haven’t bothered to link to him first?

Tell the other webmaster where he can find his link and make sure that the URL is correct.

8. Make sure that your web site has a professional design

It’s very important that both your web site and your link pages have a professional design. Your company shouldn’t look like a dubious shop. Professional site design is very important for the success of your linking campaign. I look for glaring typos, English mistakes, excessive fla shy banners, broken images, or the ever infamous animated Under Construction gifs.

9. The links page

Check what the links pages are like. Definitely avoid links pages that have over 50 links, or use dynamic URLs, or are not ind exed by search engines.

10. Be polite and humble

Don’t praise your own web site. It’s enough to mention your web site URL and to explain what both your site and the link partner’s web site have in common.

Don’t use superlatives or more than one exclamation mark in your email message. Do not use “sales talk” in your link exchange message, for example listing 5-10 benefits to the potential link partner.

11. The topic

Unless the links page of the site receives a large amount of traffic or that they have a high PageRank, stick to sites about the same topic as your own. If your site is about widgets, I usually look for sites that are about widgets, widgeting, or anything widget-users would find useful.

12. Don’t use free email addresses

Do not use a free email account, for example “you@hotmail.com”. It makes your link exchange mail seem like a spam mail.

13. The links page should be too far from the home page

Search engine bots are unlikely to go more than three levels deep on any website. So links buried deeper may not be found. When looking for quality links look for websites that provide links as close to the home page as possible. Even a massive site like BBC News has a rule that every piece of content must be available within three clicks of the News home page

14. Format of link

I usually look at the source code of the links page to make sure that I will be receiving honest inbound backlinks. Does the site use rel=nofollow or external redirects for their outbound links? If so, they won’t benefit you at all (SEO-wise) unless the link gets many human clickthroughs.

15. Are they willing to put the link in a “real” page of their site?

If they are willing to place your link on a content page, then they are definitely my valued link partner.

16. If I see their phone number in the request email…

Then I’d classify them as a valueable link partner. The same goes to your request emails: always include your name and phone number in order to be trusted.

That’s it for me. As you can see, I’ve only mentioned PageRank once. I believe that as long as a site has quality, it has a good potential (PageRank or otherwise) and is worthy to trade link with. Finally, although these are good criterias to stick to in order to identify good link partners when receiving requests, don’t forget to see if you are adhering to these when you are the one sending requests!

How much per day??

Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2012

If you have been thinking about how you might make money on the Internet, then you should take a look at becoming an affiliate.

For those of you who don’t know or understand what an affiliate is, then in simple terms it is someone who promotes someone else’s product or service and if that promotion results in a sale then the affiliate gets paid a commission.

So how does that work in practice, well first you must register with a company or affiliate network as an affiliate. Some good affiliate networks to start with are ClickBank and Commission Junction. ClickBank mainly deals with ebooks and software which can be downloaded as soon as they have been purchased. Commission Junction on the other hand has a much wider range of possible affiliate relationships, many with well known large companies.

Once you are registered with one or more of these networks you will be able to select which products you wish to promote. With ClickBank you can promote any product that they list. With Commission Junction however, you have to also apply to each program within Commission Junction that you select and you may or may not be approved for that program by the company concerned.

Having selected a product or service you then have to promote it using the web links that the affiliate network will provide to you for that purpose. An important part in this web link information will be your Affiliate ID which will be used by the affiliate network and the company whose product/service you are promoting to identify you as the affiliate sending them a potential customer. If that person makes a purchase the affiliate network will be notified and will allocate the appropriate commission to your affiliate account. At regular intervals the affiliate network will then send you the commission you have accumulated in your affiliate account. The web link information mentioned previously that you obtain from the affiliate network can be used on your own website or blog or possibly in email newsletters or even directly via web advertising such as AdWords. This gives you a basic overview as to how affiliate marketing works. Many people are making extra money or their living as an Internet affiliates in this way.

Affiliate Start

Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2012

The best way to get started in internet marketing is to promote someone elses product or service. When you do this it is called affiliate marketing. You do not need to come up with your own product idea, you do not need to ship products and you do not need to contend with payments or customer service issues. It is a low cost way to start an online business and if you are successful it can prove to be quite lucrative.

Here are 3 ways you can profit by marketing affiliate products:

Blogging

You can get started blogging for free. However, I would suggest if you are going to promote products that you at least pay for a domain name and host your own blog. It can costs as little as $7.00 per domain name and you can get hosting for as little as $10.00 per month.

Becoming an affiliate is a great way to monetize a blog. If you are blogging about motorcycles for example, you can post an affiliate page to ebay and list all the motorcycle auctions that are going on or it can be as simple as reviewing a product on your blog and including a link to that product. Incorporating affiliate products into your blog is easy and can earn you some extra cash.

Email Marketing

If you dont have a list of potential customers than you should definitely start one. For those that already have subscribers to a newsletter it is easy to make recommendations to your readers. Once you have established trust with them they are more likely to take what you say to heart. This includes recommendations. If a product offers an affiliate program than it costs nothing to mention it in your email.

The one thing that is important here is to remember that the product should be of value to your readers and related to what you do. All you need to do is include a special link to the product in your newsletter and earn a nice commission. If you have a large enough list your commissions can get high very quickly. This depends on the type of product of course. Some products offer more commissions than others.

Review Websites

Its easy to start a small mini site that reviews products. You want to do your research and keep it focused of course. You can recommend anything from web hosting providers, credit cards, insurance companies to what is the best educational toys for kids. The list is endless of all the different types of products you can review.

The more value you can add to your website the better. You can add value by including a comparison chart, past customer reviews, ratings and comparing features. When people are looking to make a purchase they often do some research on the internet. What better way to provide value to a new customer than to provide them information about all the different products in one area of interest.

If you are good at writing reviews people are more inclined to click on your link. The link that they click on is a special affiliate link that goes to your affiliate website and if the person decides to make a purchase off of your recommendation than you will earn commission on the sale.

It is important to remember when marketing affiliate products to make your recommendations as stream- lined as possible. What I mean by this is, when you are putting your affiliate link on your site, blog or email make it look as though it is originating from your own site. You can do this through redirects and link cloaking software for example. It can be easy for someone to bypass your affiliate code and go straight to another website without using your affiliate link. After putting in all the hard work and research into your website or blog you would not want to lose your commission.
