Emails Not Being Responded To? Shhhh! Why is this so?

The most important details in this text are the four cardinal sins that can lead to emails not being responded to. These sins include not giving the recipient a reasonable amount of time to respond to the first message, not using HTML mail, and using a bright blue hyperlink-colored font that is too small for the average eye to read in some e-mail programs. These sins can lead to an e-mail being sent to a coworker that is going "spam" and the recipient having to go out of their way to retrieve the message from the server. 

The most important details in this text are that sending ezine length e-mails to business people is impolite, and that individuals who mark ALL of their messages as High Priority are hurting their chances of quickly responding to urgent messages by abusing priority markers. Additionally, it is important to clean up your e-mail act if necessary, and watch as more of your e-mails are not only read, but also responded to.

Let's face it, no one enjoys being ignored. However, sending an e-mail to a coworker that commits even ONE of these four cardinal sins can mean the difference between a quick response... and that big e-mail receptacle bin in the sky.:-/

Here are four common reasons why YOUR email may be going "spam," and how to fix them so that your messages are answered – and answered *quickly*:

1 "Can you hear what I'm saying now? Durn! Can you hear what I'm saying now? Frick! Can you hear what I'm saying now? Cripes! Could you...?"

Follow-up e-mails are acceptable and even necessary in these days of overzealous spam filtering. But please, for the love of all that is good and holy... give your recipient a reasonable amount of time to respond to the FIRST message FIRST!

You haven't waited long enough if you haven't waited *at least* 24 hours, especially on a first contact. People do have to take care of their lives, spouses, hunger pangs, bathing, and... (well, maybe not the last two if we're in a REAL bind ;)).

2. God, please... HTML is not permitted!

It still amazes me how many people disregard this rule.

HTML mail is roughly *twice the size* of plain text mail with the same content. If your recipient has the option to skip downloading messages over a certain size, and that size is set too small, your e-mail will be cut off in the middle of the message.

This means the recipient will have to go out of their way to retrieve YOUR message from the server.

(Annoyance No. 1)

And people who send HTML mail always seem to use a bright blue(??!) hyperlink-colored font that is WAY too small for the average eye to read. Umm... \sWHY?!

Anything other than Courier New is GUARANTEED to be difficult to read in some e-mail programs – and it's usually a matter of chance that your recipient is one of those.

(Annoyance No. 2)

Don't even get me started on the peculiar "glow" that blue text has when placed against a white background... please?

3. "NO, MAMA! I don't even WANT to read an ezine!"

Sending ezine length e-mails to business people is impolite, period.

You almost guarantee that your email will not be fully read, or that you will receive a half-assed response, because the reader did not want to wade through your verbosity to get to the meat of the matter.

"Ezine length" is typically 9 kilobytes (9k) or greater. Before sending an e-mail, you can usually tell how large it is by looking at its size in your mail program's outbox. If not, for your convenience, 9k is approximately 650 words. (Yeesh!)

Unless the recipient *expects* a lengthy response from you, 3k (200 words) is a good place to stop for a first contact.

NOTE: This also applies to personal e-mails. Being "friends" with someone does not give you permission to consistently disrespect their time with massive e-mails unless they do the same to you on a consistent basis.

So, no repeating yourself 8 billion times, or using "flowery" language and "pretty" mental pictures to make your point.

Just say it, then say something else, and for the love of God... KEEP IT MOVING.

4. I mean, seriously... is it that important?

Ugh. Is it really necessary to explain this one? Individuals who mark ALL of their messages If you know what I mean, High Priority reminds me of the little dude who cried wolf.

When I see these from the same people on a regular basis, I start ignoring the priority and answering them LAST in a mail check just to spite them.

To be sure, not everyone is as insane as me and will do this. But, at the very least, you're hurting your chances of quickly responding to *seriously* urgent messages by abusing priority markers. -« I could go on and on. I won't.

(Yet.)

The rest will be saved for "Part 2." Until then, clean up your e-mail act if necessary, and watch as more of your e-mails are not only answered, but also answered faster and more productively.

Commit the heinous offenses listed above at your own risk!

In 30 days, you can double your eBay sales

The most important details in this text are that eBay users use the search bar to type in general terms, not the "Search Title and Description" checkbox. This means that most searches only check the title, not the words in the ad's description. To ensure that you are ahead of other eBay sellers, the priority list for selecting the best title keywords should be taken literally, but keep in mind that they will not apply to every ad. 

The most important details are to use obvious keywords that are relevant to the product you're selling, double-check that they're spelled correctly, and use general keywords such as "nr", "n/r", "no reserve", "free shipping", or "lot". If you have more than one item to sell and plan to list multiple copies of your ad, create unique titles for each one to increase traffic.

The first step, and as crucial to your success as anything else you learn here, is to clearly understand how eBay users find items to spend their money on.

They all use the same tool to find auction ads, no matter what type of buyer they are or where they come from; "They use the search bar to type in general terms...!"

Buyers rarely check the "Search Title and Description" checkbox and begin scrolling through the more specific results. Heck, the checkbox isn't even an option on eBay's front page; you have to do a "Advanced Search" to even see it. This only emphasizes the significance of your title keywords.

Some people prefer to browse categories rather than search, but we're primarily interested in general majorities, not exceptions to the rule.

In case you're not aware, this means that most searches ONLY CHECK YOUR TITLE, not the words in your ad's description!!!

Experience tells me that now that you know this, you are already way ahead of 70% of other eBay sellers; and that is a very conservative estimate...!

Now that you understand the significance of title keywords, here is a priority list for selecting the best ones for each of your ads:

Take these rules literally, but keep in mind that they will not apply to every ad you run. You have a maximum of 55 characters for your title, so do your best to fit as many as possible into this small space.

1. Use obvious keywords that are relevant to the product you're selling, and double-check that they're spelled correctly.

2. Misspellings of the obvious keywords from the previous rule. (According to Google, 33% of all searches are misspelled)... DID YOU SEE THAT? Thirty percent! Don't Forget This Section.

3. One or two general eBay keywords like "nr", "n/r", "no reserve", "free shipping", or "lot". These are keywords that many professional buyers look for.

4. Other general keywords such as "new", "free", "excellent", "pc", "usb", "dvd", "wholesale", or "supplies". You can only use those that are relevant to the product you're selling, but they're extremely effective.

Take these rules and write them down on a piece of paper every time you're about to list an ad. Typically, the list is far too long to fit in the title. Once you've completed your list, begin narrowing it down using the priority structure I just gave you until it fits within the 55 character limit.

If you have more than one item to sell and plan to list multiple copies of your ad, make sure to create unique titles for each one!!! If you don't, and simply use the same title for each copy, you're wasting your money. Multiple versions of the same ad, each with a different title, can significantly increase your traffic.

Not Found in Regional Yahoo? Don't give up!

A non-American company with a.com website recently dropped out of Yahoo's Australian rankings. The author is an advertising copywriter from Australia and has their website hosted by a major Australian host, but their domain is a.com, not a.au. They emailed Yahoo support, explaining the issue and sharing their thoughts on what was causing it, but nothing happened. Finally, after a few weeks, they received an email from a Yahoo support representative informing them that their keyword was not included in their page title or description, which was incorrect. The author responded, frustrated, but they had started paying more attention when they got back to them.

The story is about an Australian company with a.com URL that was rejected by Yahoo due to its URL. The support representative suggested changing the domain name to the.com.au, which was not an acceptable solution. The author wrote back expressing their displeasure and explained how Yahoo had made a mistake and that if Google could recognize their Australian company despite its.com addresses, it is technically possible. However, there was no response and the situation did not appear to be promising. A week or two later, the website was ranked first once more. The story's moral is to not be scared of Yahoo and to trust your instincts.

If you're a non-American company with a.com website and your regional Yahoo ranking is important to you, my story might be of interest to you.

My copywriting website recently dropped out of Yahoo's Australian rankings. It was number one for my primary keywords "advertising copywriter," "copywriter," and "website copywriter" for a long time. However, it abruptly vanished. I scrolled through about ten pages of results and couldn't find it. I then looked for my domain name, but Yahoo couldn't find it.

Something didn't smell right.

I'd done nothing 'naughty' to my site to warrant a ban, and I still had a ton of links pointing to it (actually, I had more than ever before).

I'm an advertising copywriter from Australia. I live just north of Sydney and have my website hosted by a major Australian host. But my domain is a.com, not a.au. I began to suspect that this was the source of the problem.

So I emailed Yahoo support, explaining the issue and sharing my thoughts on what was causing it.

Then, suddenly, nothing happened.

So I sat and waited. And then I waited. And then I waited. Finally, after a few weeks, I received an email from a Yahoo support representative informing me that my keyword was not included in my page title or description, which was incorrect. I should correct this oversight and resubmit my website to Yahoo.

I responded, frustrated. I reiterated the key points from the first email to ensure they'd paid attention. They hadn't done so. They hadn't even looked up my domain to see if Yahoo still recognized it.

They had started paying more attention when they got back to me this time. The support representative confirmed my suspicion that Yahoo had rejected my site due to its.com URL. Her very helpful solution was to change my domain name to.au! She included some ridiculously complicated instructions for doing so and sent me on my way.

As one would expect, I was dissatisfied. I wasn't even having a good time. I explained to her that this was not an acceptable solution because all internet links to my site point to the.com and my email address uses the.com.

She remained unmoved. She insisted that this was the only and best solution to the problem. Oh, and adding my primary keyword to the title and description might help.

My laughter was not amusing! I wrote back expressing my displeasure at this "solution". I painstakingly explained how Yahoo had made a mistake, and that if Google could recognize my Australian company despite its.com addresses, I believe it is technically possible. In the first couple of pages of Australian results, I also mentioned several other.coms.

There was no response.

The situation did not appear to be promising...

Don't be discouraged if this story sounds familiar to you. A week or two later, I searched Yahoo Australia for my primary keyword, and... My website was ranked first once more!

What is the story's moral? Don't be scared of Yahoo. Don't give up and trust your instincts. If you're an Australian company with a.com and you're not appearing in Australian searches, this could be the reason. In fact, I believe this story applies to all regional Yahoos. (Of course, before making any accusations, make sure your site is properly optimized and has a large number of inbound links.)

That's the end of my story. I hope it is useful to someone.

And they were all happy ever after. So far, at least...Yahoooooooo!

Building Affiliate 'Super Sites' to Stand Out from the Crowd

Building Affiliate 'Super Sites' to Stand Out from the Crowd. Building Affiliate 'Super Sites' to Stand Out from the Crowd

As the affiliate marketing industry continues to grow and evolve, it's becoming increasingly important for affiliate marketers to differentiate themselves from their competitors. One way to do this is by building a 'super site' - a comprehensive, high-quality website that stands out from the crowd and attracts a large number of potential customers.

Here are some tips and best practices for building a 'super site' that will help you achieve success as an affiliate marketer:

1. Choose a Niche That You're Passionate About

One of the key factors in building a successful affiliate marketing site is choosing a niche that you're passionate about. This will help you maintain your motivation and drive, even when things get tough. Plus, if you're passionate about your niche, you'll be more likely to produce high-quality content that your visitors will find interesting and valuable.

2. Invest in Quality Content

High-quality content is the foundation of a successful affiliate marketing site. You need to invest time and resources into producing articles, videos, and other forms of content that are engaging, informative, and relevant to your target audience. This will help you establish yourself as a credible authority in your niche and attract more visitors to your site.

3. Utilize Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Techniques

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an essential part of building a successful affiliate marketing site. You need to ensure that your site is optimized for search engines so that it can rank well in search results and attract more organic traffic. This includes using keywords in your content, optimizing your site structure, and building high-quality backlinks from other websites.

4. Promote Your Site on Social Media

Social media can be a powerful tool for promoting your affiliate marketing site and attracting more visitors. Choose the platforms that are most relevant to your target audience and use them to share your content, engage with your followers, and build your brand.

5. Offer Unique and Valuable Incentives to Your Visitors

Another way to differentiate yourself from other affiliate marketers is by offering unique and valuable incentives to your visitors. This could include exclusive discounts, early access to new products, or special bonuses for signing up for your email list. By offering these incentives, you'll be able to build a loyal following and encourage more people to visit your site and make a purchase.

6. Continuously Monitor and Improve Your Site

Finally, it's important to continuously monitor and improve your affiliate marketing site. This includes regularly analyzing your site's traffic and conversion rates, as well as testing different strategies to see what works best. By continuously improving your site, you'll be able to stay ahead of the competition and attract even more visitors and sales.

By following these tips and best practices, you'll be well on your way to building a successful 'super site' that will help you stand out from the crowd as an affiliate marketer. Whether you're just starting out or are an experienced affiliate marketer, these strategies will help you achieve the success you're looking for.

One common mistake that new affiliate marketers make is believing that their 'product' is the merchant's product. While this is a valid way to look at your business, it puts you in the mindset of 'pushing the link' rather than building relationships with potential customers.

Super successful affiliates understand that their job is to presell rather than sell, and that their true product is content. Let's look at this from the perspective of a customer to see why creating a content-focused and interactive site is so effective, and why this type of site can significantly increase your commissions.

1. Shopping and Networking

When the average shopper goes online, he or she probably already has a list of trusted sites in mind. This is especially true for certain categories of products in the tangible goods market.

However, there is a large pool of potential customers who are looking for information and conducting research before making a purchase. These may be first-time internet shoppers, or they may belong to a specific interest group and need to do a lot of comparison shopping before making a decision.

These are the customers you can attract to your website by providing high-quality content.

However, I would advise you to go one step further than simply linking to some articles or launching a newsletter. Create a site that fosters a sense of community instead.

In other words, create a space for people to connect with their interests and with one another. Why?

Simple: Any website that fosters a sense of community will build trust, generate word-of-mouth referrals, and attract repeat visitors. Your website becomes a "hub" or "authority" on a topic, making it an ideal "jumping off point" in the purchasing process.

It's like going shopping with your friends. There is security in numbers. There is also a lot more activity where ideas are freely shared. A customer-focused, interactive website also allows you to collect feedback and quickly adjust to the needs of your target market.

2. Community Planning

This type of site is no more difficult to set up than a static content site; it simply necessitates a little more advanced planning.

What you will require:

Newsletter with structured content Message board system Multiple related affiliate products

This affiliate site model is dependent on having a variety of products to promote within your niche. Assume you've decided on "The South Beach Diet" as your niche. Your profit model would include products such as a south beach diet e-book, a south beach diet recipes e-book, a recommended merchant for supplements or vitamins, and so on.

Your diet-related content should be organized into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Your newsletter content will also cover these topics, but with a greater emphasis on recommended'solutions,' i.e., your affiliate products. Of course, your affiliate links will appear throughout the online content.

Here's where a clever strategy comes into play. You create a message board for customers who bought your recommended products via your link. Their ability to create usernames and participate in the forum is contingent on them sending you their purchase receipt.

However, general sections of the forum remain accessible to all guest visitors. These sections should be focused discussions on the product's success with users (s).

Essentially, you've created a 'user's group' for a product that didn't previously have one.

This accomplishes a number of goals. It enables your loyal visitors to do extensive preselling for you as well as create additional content on the fly. It creates a trusting environment, but it also allows the visitor to be subject to "peer influence" in the selling process, taking the focus away from your site's sales behind the scenes.

Finally, the message board will provide you with access to mountains of data, including customer opinions and experiences, their feelings about the products, what they're really looking for, and much more. You can quickly adjust your offerings based on this feedback, as well as compile a fantastic list of ideas for creating your own product - a product that meets, if not exceeds, their expectations, because you now know what they liked and disliked about the competitor's products you just sold to them.

The type of site I just described is the same type used by the majority of successful super-affiliates.

Of course, you can still do quite well promoting a single product with a simple landing page and newsletter. However, if you want to focus on one niche and delve deep into it, this expanded model is the one I recommend.

So, create some landing pages, start collecting leads, and test the response for various niches.

When you find one that is hungry and hot, abandon the one-page-one product model and create an interactive, super-affiliate hub. You'll soon find yourself dominating your niche and profiting from a wide range of product offerings!

Affiliate Internet Marketing Making A Success

Affiliate marketing is the simplest way to get started as an internet marketer, as it does not require a website or product development. It is not difficult to find products to promote as an affiliate, but it is important to choose about 5 or more in various areas that interest you and that will sell well. It is also important to remember that it will be your money driving traffic to the affiliate site, so make it work for you. 

Affiliate programs pay a high commission and deposit funds into your account as soon as the sale is completed. PPC is the most common way to generate traffic quickly, but there are others that can be easily found with a simple search. To make a lot of money as an affiliate, it is important to find low-cost, underutilized keywords and bid high to get your ad to the top 10 or first page. If you use a broad keyword, you will get 47 clicks but not one sale. The most important details are that to determine how a keyword is performing and converting into sales, you need to use 200 clicks, look at the conversion rate, and refine your keywords.

To do this, you must identify a unique product that customers should have, brainstorm a few keywords that fit this concept, make a list of single words and two-word phrases, open the Overture keyword tool, and combine them to form three and four word phrases. Test these in your tools to see how many searches occur, and then experiment with different word combinations until you find the right combination. Finally, add them to your account's keyword list and target your market with specific 3 and 4 word phrases.

So you're sitting in front of your monitor while everyone else is watching the latest soap opera. Ads fill your screen as you click through them one by one in search of the ideal business opportunity that will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Each sales page promises more than the last, and deciding how wealthy you want to be is becoming increasingly difficult. "Make One Million In Six Months," "Write Your Own Paycheck," "The Secret To Earning Multiple Streams Of Income," and so on.

You are so excited about your newfound wealth that you give the dog your prime fillet that you purchased an hour ago, knowing that once you start up, you will never look back as the money pours into your bank account.

If this were true, we would have an awful lot of extremely happy dogs who have no idea what dog food is, but affiliate marketing is not what it appears to be.

However, what is stated is not entirely false. You can accomplish all or many of the items listed, but not in 15 minutes per day and on autopilot.

Now let us return to reality. How do I go about doing it?

Being an affiliate for other people's products is the simplest way to get started as an internet marketer. The reasons are straightforward: you don't need your own website and all the technical jargon that comes with it, and you don't have to spend money and time developing your own product. All you have to do is drive traffic to the affiliate site, they will make the sales, and you will receive your money.

It is not difficult to find products to promote as an affiliate. There are literally thousands to choose from. Some will charge a fee to join, but the majority will be free.

As an affiliate marketer, you don't want to promote just one product because that would be like putting all your eggs in one basket. Choose about 5 or more in various areas that interest you and that you believe will sell well. Take your time and read through everything, remembering that it will be your money driving traffic to that site, so make it work for you.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting affiliate products.

Examine when and how they pay your commissions.

The percentage commission that they will pay you.

Choose ones that pay a high commission and deposit funds into your account as soon as the sale is completed. This will prevent you from losing money on sales because you will not be able to track any sales activity in many cases.

After all of that, you are now armed to the teeth with affiliate links, and the dog is happily eating a prime fillet, so let's get started.

PPC is the most common way to generate traffic quickly (pay per click). Google Adwords is the big dog in town, but there are a few others that can be easily found with a simple search. It is very simple to sign up and then you are ready to go.

Now, the kind people from the affiliate programs you joined may have provided you with keywords that you can simply copy and paste into your Google Adwords account. All you have to do now is copy and paste them, place your bid, and watch the money roll in.

The bad news is that unless you're in business to lose money, this is all you'll be doing, and the dog will be reduced to dog food and you to bread and water. Your advertising will cost you far more than your earnings.

That being said, you can make a lot of money as an affiliate, but you will have to put in some effort.

Your main goal is to find low-cost, underutilized keywords. Take, for example, Google Adwords.

If you copy and paste the keywords provided to you, chances are that many other affiliates are also using the same keywords. To get your ad to the top 10 or first page, you must bid high. Assume you end up bidding 50 cents on a fairly broad keyword.

The product you're selling costs $47, and you get 50% of that, or $23.50 less banking fees. In practice, this means that for every 47 clicks, you must make one sale to break even. I can tell you right now that if you use a broad keyword, you will get 47 clicks but not one sale.

To determine how a keyword is performing and converting into sales, use 200 clicks. When you reach that goal, look at the conversion rate, or the number of clicks per sale. If you have made no or only one sale, you need to refine your keywords because you are targeting the wrong market.

Where and how do you find and use these enigmatic keywords? I mean, the English language only has so many words!

Step 1

Examine the affiliates website you joined and determine what makes this a unique product that customers should have. Please understand that the answer is not in the first words you read on the page, the headline or subheadline. Read through the entire affiliate sales page and come up with your own unique ideas; be unique.

the second step

Now that you have a clear idea in mind, brainstorm a few keywords that fit this concept and will relate well to the product you are attempting to sell. Make a list of single words and two-word phrases. Write down all of these until you have ten or fifteen.

The third step is to

You have your Adwords account, so open the Overture keyword tool and use both. Good Keywords is a free download that will provide you with a wealth of information.

Combine your single and two word phrases to form three and four word phrases. Test these in your tools to see how many searches occur, and then experiment with different word combinations until you find the right combination.

Once you've found a good combination of keyword phrases, add them to your account's keyword list. With the lowest bid, you will almost certainly be able to enter the top ten.

Targeting your market with specific 3 and 4 word phrases will get you quality clicks at a low cost, with the target market generating sales.

You've probably heard the phrase "find your niche," but believe me when I say that if you try to hit broadly, you'll lose money.

You can be a successful affiliate, but you must invest time and effort in identifying the appropriate target audience for your product. The ultimate goal of your company is to achieve the proper balance.

Good luck with your marketing!

AdWords + ClickBank Breaks PROFIT Records

Running Google AdWords campaigns to market ClickBank products is the latest trend in online marketing. ClickBank is one of the most important eBook and software companies in the market today, and it is well-known for paying extremely high commission rates to its affiliates. AdWords can provide a low-cost way to reach highly targeted markets, with ads being displayed on Google partner search engines and on numerous websites, while ensuring that the ad is only shown to targeted visitors. ClickBank products are easily sellable, and AdWords allows you to meet a specific market. 

Google AdWords is a new business that requires an initial investment as well as an operating cost in exchange for a very good profit. Depending on how you manage the campaigns, the outcomes can be drastically different, so it is important to be well-versed in how Google AdWords works, optimization techniques, budget management, and how to keep costs low while maintaining a high click-through ratio. 

The total amount of your investment is shown below: Free ClickBank account, AdWords Free Account, $5 AdWords Activation, Initial AdWords Budget of $50 (Payable later), and a Good AdWords Book $50 (Variable). AdWords Initial Budget is not currently payable and is not a fixed amount, so you can use AdWords and set your campaigns to any budget you want, even $10. 

The most important details are that the initial investment is $50 for the book and $5 for AdWords activation after you buy, for a TOTAL of $55 to start a BIG BUSINESS. The following steps are required to establish this business: sign up for a ClickBank account, create an AdWords account, purchase a good AdWords book, make the account active, collect your paychecks, pay for AdWords advertising, plan out all of your expenses, and make a note to save this article for future reference.

Running Google AdWords campaigns to market ClickBank products is the latest trend in online marketing today. This article explains everything in layman's terms, so if you're already familiar with a concept, please skip ahead. Make a note to save this useful article for future reference.

What exactly is AdWords? Can you imagine the small rectangular boxes that appear alongside Google search results? If you can't, go to Google right now and search for related advertisements to that specific search in small boxes next to the search results. These are known as AdWords. Before reading the rest of this article, go to http://adwords.google.com to get a sense of how this works.

What exactly is ClickBank? It is one of the most important eBook and software companies in the market today, and it is well-known for paying extremely high commission rates to its affiliates. With their massive catalog, it's easy to find a product to suit any target market, and the average profit per item sold is around $10. 

They pay you biweekly with a $10 minimum payout to any country in the world. Simply put, if you can search for and recommend a product to some of your friends via email using a special link provided by ClickBank, and if only one person purchases, you can receive a check sent to your home. If you don't already have an account with them, create one for free and browse the site for inspiration. Navigate to http://here-it-is.cjb.net.

Why are ClickBank and AdWords used? ClickBank products are easily sellable, and AdWords allows you to meet a specific market. What exactly is the distinction between targeted and untargeted markets? If there are 100 clicks to a motor parts website and the visitors come from a Humor site, the sales ratio will be much lower than if the visitors come from a Vehicle site. The more relevant the product is to the visitor, the higher the sales ratio. A highly targeted market means that the user's interests and the product are inextricably linked.

Google AdWords can provide you with a low-cost way to reach highly targeted markets. Your ads will receive extensive exposure because they will be displayed on Google partner search engines and on numerous websites, while ensuring that the ad is only shown to targeted visitors. You will only be charged for clicks, not impressions; you will not be charged for showing your ad. As an example, if you pay $0.20 per visitor and it takes 20 visitors per sale (due to highly targeted traffic), and your average profit per item is $10, you would spend 20 * $0.20 = $4 dollars per sale to make a $10 profit. A fantastic return on investment.

Depending on how you manage the campaigns, the outcomes can be drastically different. If you are well-versed in how Google AdWords works, optimization techniques, budget management, and how to keep costs low while maintaining a high click-through ratio (thus in turn the sales ratio).

This is a completely new business that requires an initial investment as well as an operating cost in exchange for a very good profit. When compared to an investment for an offline business, the investment is very low, and the break even time is much shorter, while the profit is very high.

The total amount of your investment is shown below.

1. Free ClickBank account

2. AdWords Free Account

3. $5 AdWords Activation

4. Initial AdWords Budget of $50 (Payable later)

5. A Good AdWords Book $50 (Variable) ** NOTE: You must consult a good AdWords report / guide before spending any money on it, as it can be extremely successful if used correctly or disastrous if not. The price may vary, but an estimate is provided.

** AdWords Initial Budget is not currently payable and is not a fixed amount. After activating for $5, you can use AdWords and set your campaigns to any budget you want, even $10. We set aside $50 so you can get a good return on investment right away, which will motivate you to continue with the business. It is only due at the end of the month. If you did everything correctly, you should be able to pay off these operating costs after you receive your monthly profits.

So your initial investment is $50 for the book and $5 for AdWords activation after you buy, for a TOTAL of $55 to start a BIG BUSINESS.

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme or an illegal money-making scheme, but a large business that can be very profitable if managed correctly and can be a total waste of money if managed incorrectly, as with any other business. However, the advantage is that the initial investment is very low, you can expect a very good return on investment, you can become an established business quickly, and there is no great risk.

I strongly advise you to read a good book on AdWords before you activate your account, so you can make every penny count. There are many excellent books on this subject, but the best one I found is at http://fzgoogle.cjb.net, which is reasonably priced and extremely informative.

In summary, the following steps are required to establish this business:

1. Sign up for a ClickBank account (http://here-it-is.cjb.net).

2. Create an AdWords account (http://adwords.google.com).

3. Purchase a good AdWords book (http://fzgoogle.cjb.net) * Then begin advertising campaigns with Google. Your AdWords reference book should include everything you need to know, including optimization tips, so you can start and manage campaigns like a pro.

4. Make the account active.

5. Collect your paychecks

6. Pay for AdWords advertising (operating cost)

This is all you need to do to get your business up and running.

My final piece of advice is to plan out all of your expenses as well as the expected minimum return on investment. This will keep you within your budget and is the most important factor in your success as an online marketer. Spending less, less, and less, while earning more, more, and more.

Advertisement and New Website Traffic

 

"No Results, No Pay" radio advertising is a great way to drive traffic to your website. The main advantage of "PI" is that your commercial is aired and you only pay for inquiries from listeners. Be clear on your strategy, goals, and draft commercials before contacting radio stations. If your "Wanted Response" is not selling a product, you must pay for inquiries out of your "own pocket". Negotiate a reasonable cost per inquiry!!

Describe how you intend to handle all administration - writing the commercial outline, product fulfillment, refunds, and product support questions. Radio is frequently overlooked by online advertisers, but depending on your "Wanted Response," it can produce good results at surprisingly low cost. For a fee, radio stations have "Voices" who will record your commercial before it airs. They also have royalty-free music that you can use in your advertisement.

Here's a straightforward method for using "No Results, No Pay" radio advertising to drive traffic to your website.

Step 1: Define "PI" - Per Inquiry Advertising.

Radio employs a distinct advertising format known as "PI," or per inquiry advertising.

The main advantage of "PI" is that your commercial is aired and you only pay for inquiries phoned in by listeners!

Inquiries come from callers who want more information.

Each caller is counted by the radio station and directed to your website address.

Step 2: How to Begin a "PI" Campaign.

Locate a comprehensive list of all commercial radio stations where you intend to advertise.

Here are some examples of Internet resources:

http://www.mediauk.com - United Kingdom

http://www.web-radio.fm - United States

International radio directory http://www.radiodirectory.com

Searching for keywords like "Radio Directories" will bring up additional online resources.

Alternatively, go to your local library and ask for the Yearbook of Independent Local Radio Stations in the reference section.

Take note of specifics such as:

Names of ad managers, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses

Programming and timetables

Profiles of listeners:

Age, \s Income, \s Sex, \s Location.

Step 3: Choose a strategy and a "Wanted Response."

Be clear on your strategy, goals, and draft commercials before contacting radio stations.

* Are you promoting a product on your website?

To avoid paying for "tyre kicker" inquiries, fully specify product details.

* Is the purpose of your "Wanted Response" to build an opt-in list?

Choose how you will attract visitors to your website. Will you provide FREEBIES or hold a competition?

* Are you advertising to conduct market research?

Explain to the audience how and why they should participate.

* Determine how much you are willing to pay per inquiry.

Step 4: Apply Your Strategy To Create A "PI" Proposal

This step has two objectives:

Make scheduling your commercial as simple as possible for the station.

Negotiate the lowest cost per inquiry during the most effective advertising timeslots.

Bear in mind:

You want to reach out to specific listener profiles.

When you want your commercial to air.

Which commercial will deliver your "Wanted Response" the best?

Send an e-mail or regular mail to the ad manager. In your letter, please include: Please introduce yourself. Inform them that this is a Per Inquiry advertising proposal. Inform them of your objectives and refer them to your strategy. Include your product or service prices as well as the amount you are willing to pay for each inquiry.

Sidebar

If your "Wanted Response" is not selling a product, you must pay for inquiries out of your "own pocket". Negotiate a reasonable cost per inquiry!!

* Describe how you intend to handle all administration.

For example, writing the commercial outline, product fulfillment, refunds, and product support questions.

Depending on your negotiating skills and the size of the radio station, you may be able to work out a deal in which you only pay for *Converted Inquiries*.

Because you only pay for referrals when a sale is made, this is practically *FREE* advertising!

Step #5 - Dealing With Radio Ad Managers

If you have not received a response within a few days, please contact the station.

Commercial radio is a hectic place. Prepare to explain yourself and to respond to questions quickly and clearly.

Radio ad executives are constantly on the lookout for new advertisers. That is their job, and advertising fees are Commercial Radio's lifeblood.

However, "PI" is not the only source of revenue for stations, so expect a polite but reserved reception.

If this occurs, select another station and repeat the process.

The benefits of a successful "PI" campaign will more than compensate for your efforts.

Step 6: Create a Commercial Ad

Outline your commercial to get the most "Wanted Response."

Outline at least two 30 second commercials and two 60 second commercials.

Writing commercials for broadcast is not the same as writing ad copy for print media. Stations, on the other hand, will take your outlines and turn them into finished commercials for a fee.

Alternatively, if your copywriting is strong and you have the time to fine-tune it for broadcast, you can do it yourself.

Listen to the station's ads, jingles, and catch phrases and record your own in a similar style. Request that objective people listen to your advertisement and provide critical feedback.

Sidebar

You may or may not want to use your own voice when recording for radio. For a fee, radio stations have "Voices" who will record your commercial before it airs.

They also have royalty-free music that you can use in your advertisement.

Make your commercials memorable by including clear contact information that listeners can use to follow up.

When such advertisements run during relevant programming, they can generate a lot of traffic.

Finally, "just do it" and you will learn far more than I can show you in a brief article.

Radio is frequently overlooked by online advertisers, but depending on your "Wanted Response," it can produce good results at a surprisingly low cost.

Ad Managers are responsible for increasing revenue for the broadcaster. They are adaptable, and as long as you can demonstrate a financial benefit to the station, they will actively consider your "PI" proposal.

This is great news for you because you can drive high-quality traffic to your website, products, and services for little or no cost.

"PI" is the most affordable form of broadcast advertising. Make this a new component of your overall marketing strategy.

$27,817 Per Month Through Affiliate Programs

Some Internet Marketing gurus claim you can earn thousands of dollars per month through Affiliate programs. You earn a commission whenever someone clicks on your ad and purchases the product. Set up a PPC search engine advertising campaign, such as Google, and decide how much you want to pay per click.  If the program does not pay a commission of $15 or more, it is not worth paying for your clicks. Some products, such as web hosting and satellite dish installations, may pay $100 commissions. The price you must pay to get ad exposure and clicks will most likely be very high.

I remember thinking it was a waste of time to promote Affiliate Programs. Until I started making a decent living.

At the end of 2004, I began researching the idea of promoting affiliate programs via pay-per-click search engines. I was aware of some Internet Marketing gurus who claimed you could earn thousands of dollars per month. However, I was skeptical. "I know what these guys are about," I remember thinking. "All they want is to sell more books."

But I decided it was at least worth a look. The idea is straightforward. Choose a product - preferably one with an affiliate program. Set up a PPC search engine advertising campaign, such as Google, and decide how much you want to pay per click. Create a three-line advertisement that includes your affiliate link. You earn a commission whenever someone clicks on your ad and purchases the product.

So I went looking. And considered it. And then I looked some more. I was still skeptical of the concept, but I decided to put it to the test to see if it could really work. And, because I knew I'd be spending a lot of money on advertising clicks, I thought it was worthwhile to invest in a book to learn how to maximize the profitability of my campaigns from more experienced marketers.

I bought and read several ebooks as my business grew over the course of several weeks. Chris Carpenter's Google Cash (http://tinyurl.com/6gdaq) was by far the best I read. His approach is genuine and down-to-earth, and he explains how to start your own affiliate marketing business in detail. And, most importantly, he makes a fortune doing the things he describes in the book.

I began by running 20-30 campaigns across a variety of products. Most of them failed, but I expected that based on what I had read. I would test a product and, if it did not work, I would discontinue it immediately. The key to success in this business is identifying successful affiliate products and campaigns. When you find one that works, the money begins to flow in.

By February of 2005, I had identified several profitable campaigns. I was spending $0.08 per click on one of these to promote an affiliate product that pays me $18 commission on each sale. If 1 out of every 100 visitors purchases the product, I make about $10 for every 100 visitors I send.

What a strategy! That's $180 in commissions for every 1,000 visitors. That may not seem like much, but remember that once you have a successful campaign, it continues all day, every day. If you send just 1,000 visitors to a program like this every day, you will have earned $5,400 in commissions, of which $3,000 is profit, by the end of the month.

Is it overly simple? If it were that simple, everyone from your Aunt Mabel to the mailman would be doing it. While the concept is simple, getting your campaigns to run profitably requires some effort. Because I can't possibly teach you everything you need to know in one article, I'll give you a few pointers and recommend Google Cash for a more in-depth explanation:

Select Your Product Wisely. If the program does not pay a commission of $15 or more, it is not worth paying for your clicks. Also, if the commission is very high, proceed with caution. Some products, such as web hosting and satellite dish installations, may pay $100 commissions, but you will face intense competition from other affiliates, so the price you must pay to get ad exposure and clicks will most likely be very high as well. It is sometimes preferable to find a niche product with less competition from other affiliates.

Keep a close eye on your campaigns. If you pay 7 or 8 cents per click for a program that pays close to $20 commission, you must make at least one sale for every 250 visitors. Consider dropping it if you send 300 to 400 visitors with no sales.

The Weekdays Do Matter. When testing campaigns, keep the day of the week and even the time of day in mind. Some products sell better during business hours, which are Monday through Friday. Others, such as entertainment products, sell better at night and on weekends.

To return to my personal experience, after identifying several campaigns that 'worked,' I spent some time fine-tuning them using techniques I learned from Google Cash. By the end of February, I had earned $27,817 in commissions for the month, all on products I had never heard of before. My net profit was $10,795.

It's truly incredible. I earned this money without having a website. From my house. Working only an hour or two per day on average.

I'm finally making the money online that I'd hoped for.

So, how about you? Do you want to start an affiliate marketing business as well? Could you use some extra money? I encourage you to go ahead, but proceed with caution. There are dangers, and you should be aware of them. Chris Carpenter's book is one you should read. You'll be on your way to more profitable campaigns in no time. And his book will easily save you hundreds of dollars by avoiding some common blunders and pitfalls.

Excellent marketing!

7 Effective Strategies for Promoting Any Affiliate Program Immediately

Affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful and simple online models for generating massive cash quickly. Here are seven effective strategies you can use right now to promote any affiliate program. The most effective advertising is to pre-qualified targeted lists of like-minded people. Use article marketing to promote your affiliate programs on your website's most heavily trafficked and relevant pages. One of my articles generated over 25 affiliate sales on autopilot in just over 3 days.

I won't go over how to use Google AdWords in "Striking Affiliate Gold" again because I've already done so in detail. You can quickly increase affiliate sales by promoting your affiliate programs through an exit window or pop up window. After a visitor makes a purchase from you or signs up for your ezine, all you have to do is prominently place a short recommendation of an affiliate product on the thank you page.

Affiliate marketing is truly one of the most powerful and simple online models for generating massive cash quickly; in fact, you can get started right away without the hassle of creating your own products or websites.

While there are numerous factors to consider in the affiliate marketing industry, one of the most common questions I receive from newer marketers is, "Ewen, How Do I Promote My Affiliate Link?"

Here are seven effective strategies you can use right now to promote any affiliate program:

==> #1: Create Your Own Opt-In List

If you already have an opt-in list, this is obviously the quickest way to get started. However, I'd like to share some ideas with you in order to maximize the response and results you wouldn't otherwise get if you didn't use them.

It's always a good idea to offer time-sensitive bonuses to entice your list to purchase through your affiliate link. It always has worked and will continue to work.

You should also send at least three follow-up mailings, as statistics show that your second and third mailings will generate the most sales.

What if you don't even have a list to begin with?

The most logical course of action would be to start working on your own money-making list right away. http://www.ewenchia.com/listsecrets.htm contains a comprehensive course on how to build and profit from your own opt-in list.

Another option is to use a'second-rate' method... ==> Other People's Lists (Tactic #2)

What exactly do I mean? Ezine advertising, particularly solo ads, is a quick way to leverage on someone else's list.

Aside from advertising the affiliate program, you want to build your own list, as you would with any other type of advertising. Using a catchy one-two sentence signature file after your name is a simple way to do this while promoting the affiliate program.

The most effective advertising is to pre-qualified targeted lists of like-minded people, particularly those with money to spend. While these are uncommon and even more difficult to find, an excellent resource can be found at http://www.ewenchia.com/ultimatetraffic.htm.

==> Google AdWords is the third strategy.

With pay-per-click advertising, particularly Google AdWords, you can begin promoting any affiliate program in less than 15 minutes.

Google's policies regarding affiliate product advertising on Google AdWords have changed since January 6th, 2005.

Without going into tedious details, you can still promote affiliate programs by using landing pages that are tailored to the affiliate program you're promoting.

I won't go over how to use Google AdWords in "Striking Affiliate Gold" again because I've already done so in detail. The manual is available for download at http://undergroundsalesletters.com/strikegold.pdf ==> Article Marketing is tactic number four.

This is one strategy you should implement right away because it works.

I've made a lot of affiliate sales solely through articles. In fact, one of my articles generated over 25 affiliate sales on autopilot in just over 3 days.

The key to effective article writing is to provide relevant information and tips. Make certain that it does not sound like a sales pitch. Any suggestions you make should add value to the article. The recommendation should not be the primary goal.

I won't go over information I've already covered. Download these two eye-opening reports if you want to use articles as an affiliate promotional tool. I've written the following:

http://www.marketingebookreview.com/LifetimeTraffic.pdf

http://www.stuffyourinboxwithcash.com/lazy.zip

==> 5th Strategy: Make Use of Existing Web Pages

There are three main approaches to this...

One option is to simply promote your affiliate programs on your website's most heavily trafficked and relevant pages. Examine your website statistics to see which pages are being visited the most. These are excellent target areas for your promotions, particularly if they are related to the affiliate product in question.

Two, on your thank you pages, recommend affiliate products. After a visitor makes a purchase from you or signs up for your ezine, all you have to do is prominently place a short recommendation of an affiliate product on the thank you page.

Third, make use of your personalized error (404) pages as affiliate marketing tools. This is the page that appears when visitors enter an incorrect URL or extension; instead of wasting this space, why not use it to promote an affiliate product?

==> Exit Traffic Capture on Demand (Tactic #6)

You can quickly increase affiliate sales by promoting your affiliate programs through an exit window or pop up window.

While there are popup killers available, you'd be surprised how many people actually use them - I don't.

Pop ups, particularly exit pop ups, continue to produce positive results. Stick to one tasteful pop-up that is tailored to your visitors, and you'll see great results. Other Quick And Simple Tips (Tactic #7)

In your 'thank you emails,' include affiliate product recommendations.

This is a no-brainer; whether you're thanking someone for joining your ezine or purchasing a product, always include an affiliate recommendation for a targeted product that you've personally found useful.

As a form of follow-up preselling, you can also create autoresponder courses on topics related to the affiliate program you're promoting.

That's all for now, and I hope you found this article useful. If you're curious, you can read the FULL article here.

7 Secrets to Joint Venture Success

Most marketers miss out on large chunks of available profits because they don't participate in enough joint ventures. If you're ready to start creating profitable joint ventures, here are the top 7 insider tips to get you started. The key is to form long-term partnerships rather than one-time deals. Many marketers are looking for partners to collaborate with; the question is where do you find them? Forums are the best places to network and find like-minded individuals for potential joint ventures. Be unique, personalize your proposals and outline the most significant benefits from a one-time effort.

Most marketers miss out on large chunks of available profits because they don't participate in enough joint ventures.

It's the simplest way to gain access to resources you wouldn't otherwise have.

Joint ventures are probably underutilized for two reasons. These are the fears of work and failure. But do you realize you've already failed by having this mindset?

While I'm not here to preach, I would like to emphasize that no marketer is an island. To improve yourself and maximize your success, you must pool your time and resources with other marketers.

Leverage is the key word here.

Leverage everything you do, including joint ventures, which are among the most powerful forms of leverage available.

Keep this in mind as you read the rest of this article and apply the seven basic tips revealed...

These are the lessons I learned from my own joint venture experiences, which I'd like to share with you. It's not just rhetoric. I finished it.

For example, if you want to learn how I got 19 top marketers on my side for a product like "Resale Rights Secrets" http://ResaleRightsSecrets.com, keep an eye on this article.

If you're ready to start creating profitable joint ventures, here are the top 7 insider tips to get you started:

Tip 1: Be Genuine And Develop Relationships

I believe that basic courtesy and sincerity are essential in any relationship, especially with joint venture partners.

Be genuine. Be considerate. Be truthful.

Trust creates trust.

Don't think of your potential partner as just someone to tap into; instead, make the contact with sincerity and friendliness.

Instead of a one-time partnership, you can create a relationship that will last a lifetime.

Tip #2: Consider the Long Term

This is closely related to the preceding setting of developing relationships.

You can continue to collaborate whenever each of you has a beneficial product or promotion. The key is to form long-term partnerships rather than one-time deals.

Tip 3: Never Give Up

I understand how frustrating it is to receive no responses from potential joint venture partners. But don't abandon the cause because of a few setbacks; you never know when you'll strike gold.

It's the same thing as looking for work. While you won't get every interview you apply for, getting one good one is what matters.

Spread your eggs and get to work. Contact as many potential partners as possible, and you will undoubtedly see results.

Tip 4: Keep an eye out for new opportunities.

Participating in joint ventures is another way to make them work for you. Many marketers, like you, are looking for partners to collaborate with; the question is, where do you find them?

Forums. Forums are the best places to network and find like-minded individuals for potential joint ventures.

There are no advertising costs, and you can be on the cutting edge of new opportunities by simply browsing forums in your niche.

Here is a list of high traffic marketing forums where you can participate: http://www.expage.com/hightrafficforums

Or simply join the Warrior Forum, an internet marketer's inner circle. The exposure and benefits you can gain from it are enormous.

While it's a private forum, you can get a complimentary secret pass through "Money & Power: An Interview With Allen Says".

Allen is also the founder of the Warrior Forum, where you can find him actively moderating: http://InstantMarketingSecrets.com/moneypower/

Tip 5: Make Your Communication Clear

When you're approaching potential joint venture partners, it's very important not to beat about the bush or sound overly hyped-up.

Tell them the basic proposal and what they can gain, but leave out the major details unless they ask for more.

"Short, Sweet, and Simple" could not be more appropriate here.

Tip 6: Be Unique

You must be unique in order to establish profitable joint ventures.

This is especially true if you approach celebrities. They get a lot of joint venture proposals every day, so what makes yours stand out?

Be distinct. Give them something that no one else is offering.

I really personalize my proposals and outline the most significant benefits they can obtain...from a one-time effort.

For example, one of the many advantages I mentioned was master resale rights and 100% profits for "Resale Rights Secrets" http://ResaleRightsSecrets.com.

Because no one else was doing what I was doing, it became unique.

7th Tip: Be Irresistible

Last but not least, I learned the value of packaging irresistible offers, even for joint venture partners.

Treat them as if they were a customer. Make irresistible deals to get the joint venture started. Provide a plethora of benefits while remaining responsive. Everyone, especially valued joint venture partners, appreciates being treated well.

So, I'll conclude here, and I hope you found these suggestions useful. Go for those joint ventures now!

7 Exceptionally Simple Ways to Profit Abundantly from Public Domain Material

If you're in the online marketing business, a large part of your income will come from your ability to provide high-quality content and products to your target audience.

Aside from creating these yourself, one of the quickest and cheapest ways to obtain all of the content and products you require is through the public domain.

Whatever your needs are, you can almost always find it in the public domain. Texts, audio, images, stock video, music, and software are just a few examples of what you can do with them!

But first, a word of caution.

While much of this material is "fair use," not all of the works in the public domain database are free of copyright restrictions.

A true public domain work is information that is freely available to the public for use, including copying, distributing, and modifying. Works published 75 years ago are currently considered public domain, while those published between 1924 and 1963 may be public domain IF the copyright was not renewed.

I strongly advise you to read the public domain FAQ pages on these websites before using any material:

http://www.gutenberg.org

http://www.pdimages.com

http://www.pdmusic.org

http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books

However, if you want an easier and faster way to monetize the public domain, you'll be amazed at what you can do at.

Assuming you now have access to all of the public domain content you desire, the million-dollar question is, "How do I truly monetize them to generate long-term profit streams?"

The answer can be found in these seven simple methods:

Method #1: Establish an Information Empire

How many mini sites can you set up in a week to sell info-products that have already been created for you? It's an obvious choice.

The public domain offers the ideal opportunity to build an empire of super profitable mini sites that can all make money for you on autopilot. It's all about the numbers...

If one mini site generates a conservative $300 per month, ten of these would result in a nice monthly income of $3,000! What if you just focused on perfecting the formula and duplicating these mini sales machines every day? Consider this.

If you apply this concept to auction listings, you can make a fortune using the public domain and eBay.

Method #2: Produce Entire Niche Websites

Divide public domain content into pages of targeted niche content for your website. It's a simple concept, but few people use it.

All you have to do is choose relevant public domain books and convert them into instant content. With a little SEO know-how, planning, and keyword-focused public domain content, you can create new websites that rank highly in search engines overnight.

This is a superior solution and an improvement over automated site creation tools, which are essentially carbon copies of each other and run the risk of being banned.

While it takes time and effort, this is one quick way to create new niche sites on demand. You can then monetize them through Google Adsense, affiliate programs, and ad revenue. This method is also applicable to blogs.

Method #3: Use Viral Lead Generators to Drive Traffic

Creating lead-generating mini ebooks and making them viral is a tried and true method of generating free and highly targeted traffic. This is a strategy I describe in detail in "Mini eBook Secrets," which can be found at ==> http://www.miniebook.com.

Essentially, public domain material can be used entirely or partially as content for your mini ebooks, which you simply create and distribute to drive traffic back to your site. Adding a viral marketing effect to your mini ebooks will exponentially increase your traffic for life - at no cost to you.

Few people use the public domain in this manner, and it will be extremely profitable for you to do so.

Method #4: Follow-up to Increase Profits

Following up with your prospects via an autoresponder sequence or ecourse is a proven way to increase your sales. This is where you can make excellent use of public domain content.

You can create a high-quality ecourse using public domain works if you know how to cut and paste. It's as simple as it gets.

Method #5: Obtain Immediate Recognition And Credibility

This is a good one: divide the content of the public domain book into hundreds of articles with YOUR name and resource box on them.

Simply submit these 'instant' articles and relax. Your personal branding and name recognition will soar beyond your wildest dreams! If your articles are good, you will also gain credibility and expert status.

Method #6: Create Multiple Products in Record Time

Have you considered repackaging and creating new products from public domain material? Simply changing the format can significantly boost the perceived value and worth of the product.

You can make far more money by dividing a public domain book into modules, creating audio recordings, or marketing it as a paid subscription newsletter than by selling it as a single ebook. Simply changing the format can significantly boost the perceived value and worth of the product.

Another option is to create a themed package out of a few books on a common topic. You can then sell resale rights to it for immediate backend cash. Or make a high-priced item by combining manuals, audio, and DVDs.

The possibilities are limitless!

Method #7: Use Them As Bonuses.

When looking for added value, public domain material makes excellent bonuses for your main product. Bonuses can also be used as extra incentives for your affiliate promotions, as incentives for publishing articles, or even for something as simple as clicking to a website. You get the picture :-)

If you use these seven methods, your traffic, sales, and income will undoubtedly increase.

The ideal adventure vacation for an all-girls group would be a 'girlfriend getaway'. Survey shows that more women prefer adventure vacations, particularly those between the ages of 34 and 60. Volunteer vacations are ideal for those who want to make their vacation more meaningful by providing service. Expeditionary vacations are preferred by those who enjoy an adrenaline rush while on vacation. This type of adventure vacation is typically held in locations where there is a great need for assistance. A charity vacation is another adventure vacation that is similar to this type of getaway.

Adventure vacations are one of the newest trends in vacation destinations these days. This is due to the fact that the activity itself provides a plethora of activities that go far beyond the typical vacation. Because of its popularity as a memorable experience, an increasing number of people participate in it to make their vacation worthwhile.

In fact, adventure vacation has evolved in so many ways to meet the needs of as many people as possible, regardless of gender or age bracket. This is done to ensure that everyone has a fun-filled and unforgettable vacation experience.

If you prefer an adventure vacation to a leisure vacation, it is time to start gathering information and deciding which will best suit your preferences and budget.

The ideal adventure vacation for an all-girls group would be a 'girlfriend getaway,' which usually takes place on exotic islands and beaches. According to recent studies, more women prefer to take a vacation when given the opportunity. Indeed, recent surveys show that, when compared to men, more women prefer adventure vacations, particularly those between the ages of 34 and 60. The majority of them prefer beach hopping, water sports like surfing and kayaking, nightclubs, and other land activities like mountain climbing, trekking, and biking.

Volunteer vacations are ideal for those who want to make their vacation more meaningful by providing service to others. This type of adventure vacation is typically held in locations where there is a great need for assistance.

Today, vacation combined with volunteerism is one of the most popular types of getaways because some people believe that by doing so, they are repaying society for all of the blessings that they have received over the years. A charity vacation is another adventure vacation that is similar to this type of getaway. These vacations are typically organized by organizations interested in various sports activities such as walkathons, biking, and others that can help raise funds for a specific charity institution.

Expeditionary vacations are preferred by those who enjoy exploration. These types of vacations are truly adventurous for them because they get to experience firsthand what they are inclined to do or interested in. The majority of those who take this type of vacation work in research fields.

The vast majority of them are members or affiliates of volunteer organizations around the world that have strong support in various fields of science. This type of adventure vacation may include activities related to the field of research, such as marine explorations, forest restoration, and other environmental research fields.

The action-packed travels are ideal for those who enjoy an adrenaline rush while on vacation.

The activities include theme parks, rides, educational tours, food trips, night partying, and other activities that the entire family can enjoy.

A fantastic Maui Adventure Vacation

Maui adventure vacations provide a perfect escape from all the toxins in the modern world. The most important factor to consider during your vacation is your schedule. Historical and interesting sites, nightlife, and dining are must-sees and must-haves. A Maui vacation is meaningless unless you take advantage of the island's beaches and water activities. Make sure to try various land activities like biking, horseback riding, hiking, and off-road trips. Shop at various department and local stores, as well as boutiques for unique clothing and accessories.

Maui adventure vacations are a great treat, especially for those who are frequently stressed out by the modern world, because they provide a perfect escape from all the toxins that life has to offer.

You can also find one-of-a-kind and authentic Maui-inspired pieces to take home and share with your loved ones, family members, and friends once you return home.

These activities are tempting and relaxing during an adventure vacation, but before you leave, make sure you have planned and prepared everything you need such as travel documents, reservations for accommodations, basic necessities such as clothes, toiletries, prescription medications, and the like to ensure the success of your trip.
