Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?

Don’t let fear of the recession guide your goal setting
plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake…!

Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term
survival.

When you’re in “fight or flight” mode, you’re not thinking
clearly about the path you’re running… You’re just RUNNING!

So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight.

I want you to do more than just survive 2009.

Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in
the coming year, a significant 14% increase — despite the
recession!

Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their
computers for everything from bargain hunting and product
research to upgrading skills.

Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway…!

I don’t want the Big “R” to stop you from pursuing exciting
personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I’ve
arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important
video that Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl just put up
on his site.

Derek’s been successfully selling on the Internet for over

Google has made it convenient for people to advertise and get results with their Adword,PPC (pay per click) program.  As in any other advertising program you create your own copy and include in it your own keywords. These,  of course,  should be words that are related to your business and words that people would normally use when doing a Google search.  For the person just starting out there is not even a need to have your own website when you sign up for the program.  Google has an standing offer to help you create one for free.

For the novice that is having difficulty coming up with keywords for their Adword,PPC campaign, Google offers a keyword tool to help you come up with ideas that will work for your product.  They do not guarantee that their results are the best for your site or will even improve your results at all.  Their note is that you are responsible for your own results.  They were able to take the keyword I suggested and show me the approximate search volume I could expect and then show me additional keywords to consider.  Most of the ones they suggested had higher search volume than the one I came up with.  They also show the month(s) the highest volume occurred in so I would know when to target my campaign.

When you elect to join the Adword,PPC program your ads will appear on the Google search page but not as  a Google search result.   They will appear in the right hand column next to the search results.  You get the advantage of having people read your add that have done a search for that key word so you have already filtered down to the people that are interested in your product or service.

Adword,PPC gives you the opportunity to stretch your advertising dollars as far as possible.  It will be displayed on the Google search results page at no cost to you.  You are only charged when someone actually clicks on your advertisement.  People who only read your add and take no action cost you nothing.  You only pay when they click.  You get to set your budget and how much you pay for click.  When the budget has been reached your add will no longer appear on that day.  You will be provided with an estimate of how much attention your keyword(s) will generate so you will better know how to budget your money for the campaign.

One of the most powerful, free, marketing methods available to the internet marketer is that of publishing articles online. This can be done either through the more traditional article directories or through the new social content sharing websites. These websites both hold many of the same advantages with social content sharing websites offering a few more.

Social Content Sharing Websites and Articles Directories Enable You to Establish Your Reputation as an Expert

The first reason you want to use social content sharing websites or article directories is to establish yourself as an expert in your field. If people believe you are an expert in your line then they will be more likely to trust you and, therefore, purchase your products or services. This can be easily done by providing useful and informative information through publishing articles.

Increase Your Search Engine Optimization

Both social content sharing websites and article directories will help you to improve your search engine optimization and get better results from the search engines. Social content sharing websites, however, are able to do this more effectively than the older article directories because the search engines like Web 2.0 technology and give it higher rankings.

Get Traffic Directly Through the Article Directories or Social Content Sharing Websites

Another advantage of using social content sharing websites and article directories is that it enables you to get traffic directly from these websites. Once again, social content sharing websites often work best in this regard. Social content sharing websites often have more ways of attracting people to your pages and can draw in a lot more direct traffic.

Get Traffic from Other Websites Using Your Articles

This is an advantage of the article directories. Article directories enable webmasters to re-print articles from their website provided that they include the author’s resource box at the bottom of each article they print. Although this is not being done as often as it used to be due to search engines now penalizing duplicate content, you may still get some webmasters using your article either on their website or in their ezines and so attract traffic that way.

Article directories and social content sharing websites are a great way to attract more traffic to your website and also establish yourself as an expert. Publishing useful and informative articles builds peoples’ trust in you and makes them more likely to purchase

Looking for an affiliate program to join? Some of the best affiliate programs have a recurring income commission structure so that you not only get paid once for each customer you bring to the company but a number of times.

What Types of Recurring Income Affiliate Programs Are There?

Recurring income affiliate programs include a number of different types such as poker affiliate programs where you get paid each time someone plays or membership websites where you get paid each time someone pays their membership fees. Another type of program that may be considered as recurring income is a multi-tier program where you get paid for sales made by affiliates you invite to join the program as you invite them and then receive passive income each time they make a sale.

The Advantages of Recurring Income Affiliate Programs

Recurring income affiliate programs can help to provide you with a passive source of income meaning that even at times when you don’t work you can still get paid. You may also get paid more in the long term for each customer you bring in and so don’t have to work as hard to receive the same amount of money.

The Disadvantages of Recurring Income Affiliate Programs

Recurring income affiliate programs are definitely not get rich quick schemes and you will often get paid less over the short term. If you are looking to make a lot of money quickly then you may do better to work with pay per sale structures as these generally offer a higher, once-off commission.

If you want to establish a regular, stable form of income then recurring income affiliate programs may be just what you are looking for. They may pay less over the short term but can pay more over the long term and provide a passive source of income even when you don’t work. These affiliate programs include such programs as poker affiliate programs, membership websites or multi-tier affiliate structures.

The social networking websites MySpace and Facebook have become very popular not only with people wanting to interact online but also with marketers. These websites approach things slightly differently but both offer a number of marketing tools that you can use to increase traffic to your website and sale of your products.

Your Profile Pages and Blogs

The first tool you have available to you on MySpace and Facebook is your social networking profile page and blog. It is important that you follow the rules when using these for internet marketing and do not hard sell. You can however provide links to your website and review different websites. You may also use applications such as the Stumbleupon application on Facebook to show your social bookmarks on your profile page which can also provide extra links to your articles or website.

Social Networking Groups

Another great place to meet possible contacts is through the social networking groups. Some groups may even allow you to post links on their pages so providing more space for you to advertise. Make use of these opportunities.

Facebook Marketplace

The first thing to realize is that Facebook marketplace does not allow the advertising of businesses or services. You can however advertise specific products or, even better, create a freebie that you can give away with your advert embedded in it. Your freebie can then also act as a means of viral marketing by allowing others to give it away.

Facebook Social Ads

Another way you can advertise on Facebook is using social ads. Social ads are adverts that are placed on users pages and can be targeted in a number of different ways based on information that the users enter about themselves. You can also choose to pay on a CPM or CPC basis.

Social networking websites can be a great way to promote your products and make friends at the same time. These Web 2.0 websites provide a number of different tools to those looking to market different products including your profile page, groups, and Facebook marketplace and social ads.

Are you using social media to market your website? Are you using it to increase your income online? If not then you could seriously be missing out on one of the best opportunities to hit the internet so far.

What is Web 2.0 and Social Media?

Web 2.0 or social media refers to the new wave of websites that allow a lot more visitor interaction with the web page itself as well as other visitors. In the past the internet was largely static with a couple of people designing all the web pages and others just viewing them for information. Today the internet has changed and anyone can quickly and easily create a Web 2.0 web page using some of the excellent social media websites available.

How Web 2.0 Can Benefit Your Internet Marketing

Most people who go online today are making use of Web 2.0 websites and so in order to get their attention and sell more products, you need to be too. In addition to attracting great amounts of traffic through these websites themselves, you will also find that your search engine rankings improve by using these websites. Get on enough of them and you will not only have one search engine listing but quite a few. Social media can truly bring a tidal wave of traffic to your website.

How Do You Use Social Media to Market Your Website (In a Nutshell)?

There is not enough time in this article to go into detail regarding the use of social media in marketing your website but in a nutshell what you should consider doing is sharing articles you have written on social content sharing websites (Squidoo, Hub Pages and Scribd), bookmarking them with the social bookmarks (Digg, Delicious and Stumbleupon) and then creating other profile pages on social networking websites (MySpace, Facebook, etc.) that link to your articles. Create lots of cross links between your different social media websites and you will also help to improve their search engine rankings and get more traffic. Then, of course, all of these should also be linking to your own website.

Social media and Web 2.0 is something that every serious internet marketer needs to look at today. It is the place where everyone is meeting online and if you want their attention you need to be there too. Start by distributing your articles to content sharing websites and then link to them using social bookmarking, social networking and other Web 2.0 media.
