What I Learned About Internet Marketing

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone

What I Learned About Internet Marketing

I’ve been involved in internet marketing for almost two years now. I’ve had a very steep learning curve, but it’s been worth it. What follows are some of the most important things I learned since I started with internet marketing.

1) You Don’t Need To Buy Everything You Want
The problem with good internet marketers is that they make you want to buy their stuff. What I learned is that most of the time the things I bought sat on my hard drive and collected dust. Of course this goes with the territory of learning anything new. Sometimes you have to spend a little money, but most of the time you’re better off keeping you credit card in your wallet.
2) The Most Important Thing You Can Build is a Mailing List
This gets to the root of all internet marketing. The only thing you need is a product and traffic to your website. But in reality, you don’t even need a product because you can sell other people’s products. So all your really need to be successful is traffic -people visiting your website.
The easiest way to get traffic is to have a list of people who want to hear what you have to say. This means building an opt-in list of subscribers who you can direct to your websites to make money.
3) Chasing Adsense Income Is Elusive
Google has a program called AdSense that pays you money whenever somebody clicks on a Google ad on your website. This can be some of the easiest money in the world to make -once you have traffic. The problem is that many people devote their entire existence to generating AdSense pages in the hopes to make “easy” money. Unless you’re willing to invest a lot in software and time learing black hat secrets, you’re better off just building quality, content-based web sites.
4) Before You Buy, Research the Guru
The biggest mistakes I’ve made in purchasing products is not researching the “guru” who was selling the product. The only bad purchases were made from people I’ve never heard of, or who have no online reputation.
The good thing is you can usually get you money back. Don’t be bashful! If the product is lousy, ask for your money back.

Online Dating: Use Your Common Sense

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone

Online Dating: Use Your Common Sense

If you’ve been around the internet dating scene for more than the last couple of years, you’ve witnessed the industry grow from a kind of sleazy, underground entity into a multi-billion dollar a year behemoth of wonderfully engaging and classy websites.

Of course, some areas of the dating services on the web continue a sleaze factor, but after all, the internet does imitate the actual world, doesn’t it?
The one quality everyone needs to possess in this wild, roller-coaster world of ours and in the world of the internet remains constant: common sense! And, in the world of internet dating, this common sense approach is mandatory.

A number of common sense approaches to internet dating are simple and easy to remember and easy to put into practice.
1. Don’t identify yourself in an online dating environment. Get yourself one of the many free email accounts offered on the web. Do not release your real name, your address or telephone number in any way. If you feel a contact you make can be trusted…wait! Time is on your side. The urge to be impatient and hook-up with someone quickly is inevitable, but wait.
2. When you’re composing a personal ad or when you’re in a chat room or instant message, be honest about yourself and make your intentions easy to understand. Want to just flirt? Make it known that you are just flirting! Don’t give anyone a reason to think you’re someone you’re not.
3. “Listen” and “watch” what is going on with the person you are communicating with. Again…common sense is the rule. If something seems to be amiss with the other person, if a feeling of uneasiness with the direction of the conversation, gracefully bow out. Your intuition is almost never wrong! Never let your emotions pour out of you…even if you think you may have found the “right” match…wait until you meet in person. Then, you’ll really find out what’s up with them!
4. If the other person seems to be pushing the idea of talking on the phone, wait until it feels right for you. You are in control over everything that transpires, remember that. When you do start a telephone “meeting”, ask for their number if it makes you feel more secure. Then you can call when you want to, not at the whim of the other contact. Again, listen to everything in that call…the contact’s voice: sincere or somewhat demanding? The sounds in the background: kids yelling, baby crying, any instance that doesn’t seem right to you…the person may not have been truthful in what they have told you about themselves. Common sense!
5. When and if you decide to meet face to face, tell your family (yikes!) or a friend or trusted co-worker about the plans. Tell them exactly what your time-frame regarding the date will be and where you are going. If plans change, like going from a meeting in a coffee shop to a walk in a park, let someone know! It would be a good idea beforehand to let the person you are going to meet that you only want an “open” date…..with people around. If they act rebuffed or a little miffed at that, they aren’t interested in you feeling secure. Don’t agree to go any further!
And…maybe the most important aspect of this first, maybe second or even third meeting with this person…have your own transportation! Do not depend on them to pick you up. Observing the obvious…it also gives you a way out of you are least bit uncomfortable. If you are…leave! No car of your own? Call friends immediately or grab a cab…you are in control!

Internet dating can be a lot of fun, but as with anything in life, it only takes one bad apple to spoil everything. Be cautious, use every ounce of your intuition and common sense and enjoy yourself! All three can work together…you have all the control!

How To Make Money Online Surfing

The Concept
Have you even been asked to come to a focus meeting to review a new product in return for a little cash? Well the same concept is now available to you online. Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you’re asked to do this without any compensation such as when telemarketers call your home. The internet has revolutionized the way corporations do business, you now have a tremendous opportunity to make money online surfing the internet.

How You Get Paid
Once you sign up for a make money online surfing site you get paid to shop and do surveys. Simply click on any of the offers on the offers page after logging in and follow the instructions. Once you have completed an offer you will be asked to click a button to indicate its completion. After it has been verified that you have completed the offer, and your account will be credited accordingly.

Get paid to refer people. You are paid a percentage of your referral’s earnings. For example, if you get 20% for first level referrals and you have referred 5 people who earn $20 a month, that is an extra $20 in your pocket. If you get 100 referrals earning $20 a month, that is an extra $400 you’ll earn every month. Several of these sites also pay you for second level referrals (the people that your referrals refer). And some pay you for third level referrals, etc.

If you want to take advantage of the referral programs, creating a blog or a website is a good idea. But you also need to promote your blog/website so people know it is there. A good way to promote your make money online surfing referral page is to post your site on traffic exchanges for free. You also want to add your sites to search engines, post to message boards, forums, and groups.

How Much Money Can You Make?
How much you can make is dependent on a few things such as what country you’re from and how much time you’re willing to devote to making money. As it is, most members have the opportunity to make more than a thousand dollars a month. Especially if you join more than one make money online surfing website.

Some make money online surfing sites have a minumum payout that you need to meet before they will bother sending out a check. The minimum payout amount will vary depending on which make money online surfing company you join because each company sets their own payout amount.

A Few Tips
Before you start doing offers, create a brand new e-mail address just for the offers, surveys, etc. that you will be doing. In fact, having multiple e-mail addresses and alternating between them helps increase approvals.

Use a free online telephone service that gives you a brand new phone number that you can give out when completing surveys, offers, etc. And you can check your messages on line. This way, your home phone will never ring with additional calls.

Conclusion
This is a great free way to make a little or alot of extra money at your leisure and from your own home. Anytime you’re online you could be making money surfing without having to pay anything upfront. This can also be a supplemental source of income to pay off extra bills, or to get a fledgling business off the ground.

On Keeping Online Businesses Profitable

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone
Email Marketing and Opt In List Building: On Keeping Online Businesses Profitable
Since the advent of the information technology, the Internet had been a valuable commodity to most people. Here, they find ways on how to earn more money even without having to spend more capital on building a business.
Nowadays, many business people are realizing the importance of email marketing. Through emails, an online business can market their product directly through their customers. Generally, the main purpose of email marketing is to reach their target audience as quickly and as direct as possible. They need to reach their target market so as to promote their products and services that would benefit their customers.However, some businesses use email marketing in order to maintain their contact and relationship with their customers. The reason why email marketing has grown in such unprecedented rate is based on the fact that people in the virtual community are always hungry for information. They subscribe to information that they are interested in.

On the other hand, not all people are willing to subscribe to such information. They may be interested on your products once but may no longer be interested to buy again. Moreover, when you continue to send those emails that do not have their permissions, you can be accused of spamming.

Today, spamming is a serious offense especially in the world of information technology. Because the Internet is such a wild place, most authorities regard the privacy of each person as valuable and they continue to uphold this thinking even on the Internet.

With this, the creation of opt in list had gained tremendous acceptance. Because of its viability and feasibility to most online businesses, a lot of people have realized how important opt in lists are in email marketing.

Basically, opt in list refers to the list of email addresses of people who have agreed to subscribe to your mailing list. In this way, you can freely send emails that entail promotions, brochures, new product announcements, and every aspect of your marketing campaign.

When you build an opt in list, you do not only increase the probability of being successful in email marketing but also boost your sales and profits as well. This is because building an opt in list will give you the chance to stay in contact with your customers by getting their email address.

In this manner, you can continue to promote your products and services in which they are interested in because they have opted to subscribe in your mailing list. Hence, whatever it is that you feed them, chances are, they will most likely respond positively.

In reality, building an opt in list is actually letting the people realize the charisma and magic of email marketing. In this way, spams will be avoided, if not eliminated, and will not ruin the positive image of email marketing.

With spamming, email marketing becomes a disgraceful activity in the Internet. But with opt in list, online businesses can continue to boost their businesses through email marketing without having to worry about being accused of spamming.

In building opt in list, there are two types to be considered. The first one is the single opt-in and the other one is the double opt-in or the confirmed opt-in.

In building single opt-in list, online businesses would simply use a “sign-up tag” in their web sites so that every time a person visits their website, he or she can opt to subscribe in the business’ email list.

On the other hand, a confirmed opt-in list or double opt-in entails a confirmation message after the customer had subscribed to the particular web site’s email list.

Usually, the confirmation takes place by replying on a system-generated message that asks for a confirmation of the subscription or by clicking on a link that entails the confirmation of the customer.

Whatever type of opt in list you would prefer, each has its own pros and cons when it comes to email marketing. But nevertheless, both are designed to give your online business the best solution possible in order to generate emails and permissions without having to get into trouble.
Indeed, email marketing is such a profitable business in the Internet. But it would not be complete and will never succeed without the help of the opt-in lists. These two must always go hand-in-hand in order to be successful in the virtual world of Internet marketing.

Getting Into The Lucrative World Of Forex Trading

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone

Getting Into The Lucrative World Of Forex Trading

For many years the foreign exchange market was the preserve of major players such as national banks and multi-national corporations. In the 1980s however new rules were introduced which permitted smaller investors to enter the market through a margin account. In simple terms, a margin account allows you to trade with more money than you actually have in your trading account. For example, a 100:1 margin account allows you to participate in trading up to $100,000 with an investment of only $1,000.

Now, although this entry level has opened up the market to the smaller investor, care needs to be taken as Forex trading is not easy and is certainly not without its risks. For this reason the very first thing that any novice trader needs to do is to sit down, study the foreign exchange markets carefully and learn the ins and outs of trading before putting any money at risk.
In addition to some basic training, the newcomer will also need to find a good broker as all trading must be conducted through a broker. Here a personal recommendation is often the best place to start but, in the absence of this, you should choose a broker who is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). This will provide you with protection against both abusive trade practices and fraud.
It is normally a simple process to open an account with a broker and once this is done and funds are added to your account you can start trading. Brokers will normally offer a number of accounts to suit individual clients and most will have “mini” accounts which will allow you to begin trading with as little as $250. The margin on which you are permitted to trade will vary from one account to the next.

One thing that you should always look for when selecting a broker is the ability to cut your teeth by carrying out simulated, or paper, trades for a period of time. This is a facility which many good brokers will provide and which simply allows you to trade in the normal manner but to do so simply on paper and without any money changing hands until you have found your feet. Many online brokers provide simulated accounts allowing you to make free paper trades for up to 30 days.
One thing that worries newcomers is the subject of trading charges and brokerage fees. Unlike many other markets, the Forex market is free of commission and so you can make as many trades as you like without worrying about running up huge brokerage fees. Your broker will make his profit from the ’spread’ on each trade, which is the difference between the buying and selling price of a currency pair and is a subject all of its own.
LearningForexTradingOnline.com provides information on everything from finding a foreign currency exchange rate to the Forex mini account and is the perfect place to learn Forex currency trading online.

Erase Debt and Credit Cards Forever

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone
Erase Debt and Credit Cards Forever!!!

“The Affiliate Allstar - Is It Just Another Scam?

With all the get rich quick scams flooding the internet lately, it can be difficult to find a legitimate way to make money. And so when I picked up this new course by Aaron Johnson, a former janitor turned affiliate marketing success story, I wasn’t expecting anything truly groundbreaking as I have been scammed so many times before.

I never even knew what an affiliate was. I was curious and kept reading. I must admit I was taken a bit off guard with the exceptional design and overall quality of the package. It was well thought out and that’s what caught me eye. The information was well organized, easy to understand, and I found the authors writing style refreshing in comparison to other ebooks I have recently bought.

Also included in the members area were several bonus ebooks and software programs that covered topics such as getting your website a high ranking, making money with blogs, creating your own profitable e-products, an article submitter
worth nearly $200, and quite a bit more. And unlike other courses that always seem to offer the same junk, these bonuses were of rather high quality.

The Affiliate Allstar starts by explaining all the basics of affiliate marketing as well as how to find up and coming products before the competition does. Also in this section are some very profitable free advertising methods that I didn’t know about.

Aaron also covers low cost advertising such as Google Adwords in quite a bit of detail. He shows how to write ads that get clicks, organizing adgroups for maximum relevance, keyword research, and even introduces us to a popular search
engine that requires no website to advertise.

Before I bought The Affiliate Allstar I have never designed a website because I simply didn’t know how and thought it was too complicated to learn. But Aaron not only shows how a novice like myself can easily create fantastic looking Web pages without knowing web design, but offers a couple free solutions for doing so. There is also a complete chapter on getting top rankings for your websites, and how to profit from Googles Adsense program.

I would have liked to have seen an EBay chapter in The Affiliate Allstar as I have always been a bit of a drop shipping junkie, but Aarons techniques are easier than anything I have ever done with EBay so I won’t complain. It would have also been nice to have had a few more videos in the members area although Aaron has just informed me via e-mail that he is always expanding his library of videos.

Speaking of e-mail, support is where The Affiliate Allstar really shines. For the few times I have had to e-mail Aaron he has responded very quickly, often within just a few hours.

Overall, I felt The Affiliate Allstar was well worth the money.

Forex Trading And Home Business

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone

Forex Trading And Home Business

Forex, ie foreign exchange market has become very popular due to its immense size, liquidity, currencies moving in strong trends plus, an easy online access, relatively low starting capital and a big leverage.

All this is very attractive to many sorts of investors, speculators and also amateur people, especially online success chasers who imagine easy and fast profits. BUT it has its pitfalls and the Internet hype sellers and scammers make the situation even more dangerous.

Forex has enormous profit potential but since there is a substantial leverage involved working both ways, the same is the loss potential - the higher the profits, the higher the risk involved. And that is exactly the core of success in forex which is hidden from people seeking fast online profits.

People lacking basic character streaks like discipline, risk evaluation ability, experience and even basic information and training fall prey to false promises and start trading their last money on forex expecting quick riches. It is necessary to be aware of the fact that trading currencies is not easy. If it was, no one would lose money and everyone would already be a millionaire. Many traders with years of experience still incur periodic losses. Everyone interested in trading forex must realize that trading takes time to master and there are absolutely no shortcuts to this process.

Yes, of course, it is possible to make it a long-term, profitable and sustainable source of high income and even a proper home business BUT the following are the basic rules for success in forex trading:

1. Discipline: it seems easy but the lack of discipline is the profit killer no 1. It is important to set your own rules and goals and stick to them. Do not panic if not everything goes the way you imagine and strictly keep the rules. One of the basic situations is losses: If you know you can lose only $1000, the discipline will help you stop trading if it happens, and not borrow and go on and on… Also, it is the discipline which helps you avoid magic profit calculations.

2. Responsible risk-taking and risk-evaluation ability: forex trading is an investment method not a casino. It is not possible to invest properly if you are not able to take up a calculated risk, if you are not able to calculate an acceptable risk, and if you are not able to even recognize a risk. The good news is that you can develop this ability.

3. Spare money: never trade your last money, always invest either profit or a reasonable amount of money you can lose. Always behave responsibly and never borrow money to trade.

4. Thorough education and training, incl practical training: it is imperative that before you start trading live, you get proper education and training, that you acquire working knowledge and develop your own working system on which you can build your investment strategies, routines and practice.

5. Never trade in a live-or-die situation or under any stress: many gurus say that you can make instant riches from forex investing your last money. It is one of the biggest lies I ever heard. Unless you feel absolutely comfortable, knowing what you are doing and why, enjoying the trading, you cannot trade successfully. Any stressed, unbalanced or anxious mind and brain is not able to evaluate situations correctly, react competently, and it is a paved road to failure and losses.

6. Always do your homework: another hype you can hear around says that everyone can trade just following someone else’s advice and instructions. I can tell you only one word as an answer: rubbish. You must realize that you must be able to evaluate every situation, every trend, every forecast, create all the analysis, follow necessary trends, incl, of course, hearing specialized analysts BUT the decision and the money is yours only, so the responsibility is yours. The better your homework, the higher and more reliable your profits.

7. Learn from your mistakes and remain flexible: you must know that you will make mistakes, you will even lose in some trades but you must be a great trader and you must know it. When you make a mistake you must analyze the situation, find out why it happened and see to it that you will not repeat the same mistake in the future. You must not despair and fall into depression. You must stay positive and simply do better next time.

Plus a little closing note to only make you aware of these important topics which, however, exceed the scope of this basic informational article: - yet another risk is here: it is vital to choose the right market-maker, big enough to allow you to make full use of currency moves. I stress a market-maker and not a broker, and also, - avoid managed accounts. In case you are interested in mastering forex trading and start with the above points seriously, you are on the right way to trading success.

An Easy Way to Make Money
Doubling Stock is indeed one of the easiest way to make money. No question about this!

This is how it works: Michael Cohen is the penny stock guru who has been in the business for many years. His “system” for trading penny stocks is structured in three parts:

Step 1: On Sunday evening, check your email, and review the stock pick that he will send you!

Step 2: Wake up Monday morning and place the trade online… or… with your broker over the phone!

Step 3: Go about your daily activities and check back regularly to see if you have effortlessly double, triple or even quadruple your initial sum of money back!

It’s really that simple! Actually, it’s so simple that if you wanted to, you could even teach your 8-year-old son or daughter to do the whole thing for you!” Nothing gets simpler than this!

This is no ordinary service by some normal stock trader who proclaims himself a “guru” because he was just plain lucky to choose a few correct trades. Absolutely No!

Michael Cohen’s system is real. His reputation in penny stock is built on years of proven results, time after time, for the past two decades. If it had only been luck, Michael would have switch to other trades a long time ago.

What’s my result? My account more than tripled from $1000 to $3241 just by following Michael’s instructions. And I have been using the system for only 1 month! There isno doubb that I will increase my investment soon to make more money.

I strongly recommend you to subscribe to Michael’s Doubling Stock if you want to make fast and easy cash. It cost only a one-time small fee of $49.97. You can make back many times that amount with your first stock pick anyway. There is a true limit on the number of subscribers that Michael can accept. Right now, there are only 14 vacancies left. You need to take action before it is too late!

Becoming Rich

Posted on July 7th, 2007 in General by metal-and-stone

Becoming Rich

Most sane people would prefer to be rich rather than be poor or average. So why aren’t they rich? You can discover why by looking at those who go from average to rich and seeing what you can learn from them.

The number one strategy that takes people from average to rich is to model yourself on the self made rich. Let’s have a look at what that really means.
Modeling Yourself on the Self Made Rich
The best way to succeed in anything is to model yourself on those who have already done it. What this entails is to find out what they do that is different to what the average person does. Let’s start by looking at two things that Warren Buffett did as he was taking himself from average to one of the richest men in the world.

Do Whatever It Takes To Learn What You Need To Know
When Warren Buffett was a young man he set himself a goal of becoming a great stock market investor. He certainly achieved this goal because he has become the most successful stock market investor who ever lived. He took his personal savings of $9,800 and turned them into a net worth of over $50 billion dollars using his stock market investment strategies.
Buffett decided that Benjamin Graham was the greatest investor of the era and he wanted to learn what Graham knew. He enrolled at Columbia University because Graham taught there and when he graduated he decided he wanted to work for Graham and learn more from him. Graham wouldn’t hire him though. Warren persisted, even offering to work for free. Eventually his persistence paid off and Graham hired him for $12,000 a year.
What did Warren do here that was different to the average person? Firstly he showed that he was willing to do whatever it takes to learn from those who have a proven track record. Secondly he believed that what he learned on the job was more important than what he earned on the job.

Live On a Budget and Invest the Rest
Another lesson we can learn by modeling Warren Buffett is to live on a budget that is less than what we earn and invest the rest. In the first six years after leaving university Warren was earning $12,000 dollars a year and had a wife and three children to support. Yet he still lived on a budget and allocated money to his savings and investing.
At the end of that six year period those savings and investments had gone from $9,800 to $140,000. By investing a percentage of what he earned he had increased his net worth by an amount that was more than double the total salary he had earned in the same period.
Warren did not abandon this budgeting approach when he became rich. In 1979 when he had a net work of $140 million he stated that he lived solely on his salary of $50,000 a year. If he hadn’t kept up his habit of budgeting then he would never have built the incredible riches that he has today.
Warren has always understood that the money you have working for you can produce more than you can produce just by working for money. This is very different to the average person who not only spends all his salary but also runs up plenty of personal debt as well.

Conclusion
The examples above show how studying the habits of the self made rich can teach you how to make a difference in your own financial life. If you make a hobby of studying those who went from average to rich via investing or business then you will be able to identify many of the differences between them and the average person who stays average. This will give you the knowledge you need to make a positive difference in your own financial life.
