You’ve Built Your List… Now What?
by: Denise Hall
Anyone who makes money online will tell you that you need to
build an opt-in list. All you do is give away a free ebook,
report or other item of value to get people to subscribe to your
list. It sounds simple and it is.
But once you start building your list, what do you do with it?
Build a relationship with your list members! Tell them a little
about yourself. Send them free valuable content in the form of
articles, ebooks or reports. Let them get to know you, like you
and trust you. Become their friend, someone whose opinion they
value.
After you’ve built a relationship they’ll be ready to buy from
you because they’ll trust you to recommend quality products.
It’s OK to send them sales messages.
I can hear some of you objecting to that last part…
“I can’t do that to my list!”
Let me ask you this… Why do you think everyone says you need
your own list?
The answer… Because they know the meaning of the phrase “the

Improving Your Customer Relationship Management by with Blogging Technology
by: Etienne A. Gibbs
Before I address the following questions: What is a blog? and What can a blog do for your business?, let me pose a few “What if . . .” questions to you.
Keeping in mind that before your prospects and customers buy from you, they need to know you, like you, and trust you. In other words, they need to know, whether overtly or covertly, that they have a trusting and ongoing relationship with you. What better way to accomplish for them to get to know you, trust you, and like you than with a blog?
Now, here are my “What if . . .” questions:
* What if less than two minutes after creating and publishing your blog, it were to be promoted to thousands of prospects without any extra effort or cost on your part?
* What if your blog gave you immediate access to hundreds of international prospects?
* What if you had immediate access to hundreds of prospects in your city, state, or country who had interests and hobbies similar to yours?
Simple Search Engine Optimization

Simple Search Engine Optimization
by: Pawel Reszka
Search engine optimization has become a major factor in internet marketing among webmasters. We can all say that if your website is nowhere near the top 10 rankings on Google, Yahoo, or Msn then you simply don’t generate any traffic from search engines and you don’t make money with it. Many webmasters are constantly trying to get on top by tweaking their websites and using all kinds of methods and tricks that usually won’t do much for you anyway. Search engine optimization is actually easier than you think. It’s all about three major things like original content, unique quality of links, and popularity in searches made specifically for your website.
If you even want to be included in Google index then you must have original content on your website. Your content cannot be duplicated and you should carefully review everything you decide to publish on your pages. Write your own content and never try to duplicate someone else’s site which could result in permanent penalty from Google. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with fresh original content simply because we do not have all this time to write it. There are a few ways you can gain content without writing it on your own. You could create a forum on your website where visitors could interact with each other and make constant posts. This would keep the search engine spiders revisiting more often. Also creating possibility for visitors to submit their articles to be published on your site in exchange for a link back is another way to do it.

Affiliate Program Reviews And Recommendations
by: Shane Higginbottom
I have been reading 3 ebooks that I have downloaded. Cant say I’m finished either of them yet though. But holy WOW. What jewels of information they are !!.
The first I’m gonna review is the Super Affiliates Hand book.
YES I actually paid for and downloaded some affiliate ebooks. I’m hardly gonna rant and rave about products I haven’t actually bought and paid for. That would be just plain dumb and very crooked. SHIT you can go to google and type in affiliate product reviews or whatever it takes to find reviews and then cut and paste the info into your blog or website. Really though?, whats the point. I think anyone who has even the slightest bit of smarts can see through shit like that. AND I hate cut and paste reviews I have seen a few of them and they all lookie like absolute GARBAGE.
HAHAHAHAHA which brings to mind a great saying I heard a friend of mine say the other night.
” you can put a piece of shit on a doily (spelling?) but it’s still a piece of shit.” I just love that saying and it’s SO TRUE.
“Double Your eBay Sales In 30 Days!”

“Double Your eBay Sales In 30 Days!”
by: Chuck Mullaney
First, and as important to your success as anything you learn here, is clearly understanding how eBay users find things to spend their money on.
No matter what type of buyer they are, no matter where they come from, they all use the same tool to find auction ads;
“They use the search bar to type in general terms..!”
Very rarely do buyers check the “Search Title and Description” checkbox and start browsing the more specific results. Heck; the checkbox isn’t even an option on the front page of eBay, you actually have to do an “Advanced Search” to even have that option. This just confirms the importance of your title keywords.
Some do browse categories rather than search, but we’re mainly concerned with general majorities here, not exceptions to the rule.
In case you’re unaware, this means that most searches are ONLY CHECKING YOUR TITLE, not the words in the description area of your ad!!!
Experience tells me that, since you now know this, you are actually way ahead of 70% of the other eBay sellers out there; and that’s a very conservative estimate..!
Website Valuation: Why Standard Pricing for Websites Will Develop

Website Valuation: Why Standard Pricing for Websites Will Develop
by: Mike Batta
The market of buying and selling developed websites is becoming more and more liquid each day. By this I mean there are number of market participants and the variety of developed websites being bought and sold is finally coming around.Like any developing market, there is no established pricing mechanism. The common method is a “revenue multiple” something like “10 months earnings”. This is simplistic, or elementary, and cannot last as the market develops.Websites are income-producing assets and should be treated as such. I’ve taken my various business/finance education and experience and combined it with my years of Internet experience to take a shot at a fundamental valuation method for websites.
It is important to understand that immature markets, no matter what the product, all go through this life cycle. Basic price “guesses” or simplistic metrics are used in the beginning, and eventually some standardization occurs.
Websites, like companies, rental property, or a contract to receive a service or product, are assets with potential future income streams. The value of that asset is derived from the future income streams and not the “book value” of the asset itself.
Boost Your Affiliate Sales Using Mini-Sites

Boost Your Affiliate Sales Using Mini-Sites
by: Barry Husband
A mini-site is basically a website that is dedicated to just doing one thing via one to three pages. In the case of affiliate marketing, you would use a mini-site to promote an affiliate product or service. The main benefit to having a mini-site is to pre-sell the product. By putting a testimonial on a mini-site between the advertisement and the merchant you get many more converted sales than without it.
You can use mini-sites on their own or you can use several different domain names, each selling one product and then link them together to increase search engine rankings.
If you have a content site, another option would be to link your mini-sites with your main content site. The content site will get ranked well with the search engines and draw traffic, which can then be re-directed to the mini-sites selling the products. This re-direction could happen with the use of a related article on your content site. You can easily create an article by using an excerpt from the product you are marketing, or using information from the sales letter. Be careful. You don’t want the article to repeat word-for-word what either your mini-site or the merchant sales page is going to tell the customer.
I Know The Internet Is A “Goldmine”, But WHAT Should I Sell?

I Know The Internet Is A “Goldmine”, But WHAT Should I Sell?
by: Joshua White
“Do what you love and money will follow.”
Tell that to the starving artist. And yet, there are hundreds of other artists who are not starving.
People all over are turning a profit by simply selling their passion, which can come in the form of thoughts on paper, digital information, or recorded music and video. Kids today are smarter than we realize when they say, “When I grow up, I want to be rich.” What can be easily interpreted as a lazy - I want to make money without working hard - can be really seen as - I want to make money out of nothing and make that money work for me. Madonna used her voice (which cost nothing) to make millions. Michael Jordan used his skills (which cost his time) to market himself into millions through shoes, clothes, and advertising. And with the burgeoning commerce of the world wide web, making a profit from your passions is practically limitless.
But how do you do it?

At Last The Answer To My Prayers
by: John Lester
I am 71 years old and always believed in some way I could generate an Internet income.
I have tried many things but have never given up, always believing I would find a way.
A few days ago a friend sent me an email advising me to take a look at a particular website. He said someone by the name of Brian Campbell who is a successful Internet Marketeer was giving away a FREE training course like no other on the Internet.
So it not costing me anything to take a look, I punched in the URL and downloaded it.
I was amazed at what was there. Three e-books and over twelve hours of videos with lots more to come.
He was giving anyone who wanted to take up the offer, the chance to be as successful as himself doing exactly what he did, leading you by the hand, step by step, nothing left out.
Most of the other “Guru’s” tell you how they did it, but Brian Campbell shows you through the videos. It is just as if he was sitting there with you, it is easy to understand, no techy mumbo jumbo.
