I’ve been talking a great deal about advertising and how to increase your traffic lately. Well I’m gonna do it again today! I just started working on a project for another one of my friends (at least I am getting paid this time). When we sat down to talk about what he wanted I kept asking, “You want what?” because I had never heard of a company running it’s business this way. But I must admit, the more I think about it, the better it sounds. The programming is fairly straight forward so I won’t bore you with the details of the it, but I just have to tell you something about the program itself.

My friend’s name is Fred Mertz. He has come up with an advertising idea that just might work. To get truly targeted traffic, you have to get people to want to click the link to your web site. If they are just surfing for credits, chances are, they are not interested in what you are selling. But the more web sites you can get to carry your ad, the better your traffic will be. That is the concept behind all the pay-per-click (PPC) ad companies out there. The problem is, most of them are way too expensive for the average Joe because you have to bid for impressions and there are huge monthly fees to boot. That means if you want the same ad space as say Wal*Mart, you have to bid higher than they do for it. Yeah, sometimes you can get the top spot for as little as 20 or 30 cents. But that’s usually because the keywords were not used by very many other web sites. In other words, it’s not that good a spot.

What if you could get one of the best spots on any web page? And what if it only cost you a nickel to do it? Wouldn’t that be great? Well pretty soon you will be able to do just that! ‘Fred’s Corner Peel Ad-Coop‘ will be the answer. A recent study has shown that those peel-down corner ads that have been cropping up all over the place are (statistically speaking) the best place to put your ad! Now the problem is, you can buy these peel-down scripts and put your own ad on your own web site, but think about this… You worked hard, probably spent a good deal of money to get this surfer to your web site. Now you are going to try to sell him something else you have for sale (maybe another opportunity). That’s fine, but now you have to go out and find another surfer who is interested in what you have to sell. It gets expensive!

With ‘Fred’s Corner Peel Ad-Coop‘ your ad will be placed under that corner on many other web sites! The best part is, it won’t cost you a thing until someone actually clicks on your ad!!! Beats paying just to put your ad in front of them when they don’t click on it! A coop is a group of people who share with each other. Fred’s coop is just that. You get your ad placed under these attractive peel-down corners all over the world, on all sorts of web sites. And you don’t have to pay unless your ad gets clicked. Oh yeah, I almost forgot… Fred’s program will pay you 20% to display ads on your web site, too! Any way, this will be one heck of a program and I just wanted to give my readers a heads-up about it. You can’t join now because the programming (I’m doing) isn’t ready yet. But watch this blog and I will tell you when you can!

In the mean time, if you really want some information about this brand new concept in advertising, you can write to Fred and he will answer all your questions. I will be looking forward to seeing this program in action!

Article copywriting is a great skill to develop. It requires a you to be able to send an email. If you can type you can write articles and brand your business. The first mistake you can make with article marketing is you try to write something.

Its not easy to try to write something meaningful or profound if you set out to do it that way. Its a short cut to writers block. Believe me. You should write as if you are having a conversation and then do gramma and spell check. There you go, you have an article.

I used to try to write great articles that will win a prize or two and I was not making much money. You will also go through this phase. I can only advise you to keep writing and refining your technique. There is no end to your the learning and it gets more fun and intersting as time goes.

The second best thing you can do is twofold. You have to appear human and address one person. I learned this step late in my writing evolution and it cost me sleepless nights wondering what I missed and why I was failing to touch my readers. Fortunately for you, you will not have such a problem. Just keep it casual and directed at one person, not the teaming masses. Your reader needs to feel they are the most special person on earth and they are getting great advice.

Step three is my personal favourite and I think you will like it. You pat yourself on the back and submit. There are a couple of directories out there that will be happy to showcase your creative work. There is a great program I use to minimise my daily stress of submitting to one or thousand directories with a single click. The software is robust and has not let me down. You may like it too. Get it at Article Publisher for less than $100. It is worth it. Check my blog at Marketing Blog for more marketing advice and reliable marketing tools.

Do you feel the childhood anticipation building up as the year draws nearer to that time of the year when you know that you and your family live for every year? The wonderful season of christmass.

You may be a sceptic or somebody who doesn’t like the commercialism attached to the season. But there is no denying its amazing pull. Children have started to nag their parents about the latest gizmos and gifts they wish to receive from Santa. They are unrelenting because they trully want those gifts.

There are some good and bad websites that supply this and both types have been reviewed at this site and the Christmas Review site.

The season is laden with money and people love to spend money to make their lives meaningful. There are ways to give great gifts without spending a single red cent and anyone can do it if they search hard enough through the above sites. The carols can be found with fun and interesting things to do in christmas. As long as you avoid last minute rush.

So please let up your guard and enjoy the festive season. Its full of magic and wonder.

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called “traction”, which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.

Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don’t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com/.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

You are the most powerful force called in your business and are you really equipped to make a huge success of it? Many business owners like you sometimes fail to use effective means to increase their sales and make money. Your business is there to make money, you have to guide it towards that sigular goal, profits will keep you afloat. If you are not making money you are failing, sorry to be harsh. I have also been a victim of my own emotional attachment to my businesses. And they failed because my total monthly sales were not enough to meet my overheads.

I had to learn how to market my product to a single person not massive audiences. I had to unlearn previous misconceptions before I made a single red cent. And now my business thrives. How does this tie in with you?

The riddle is wether you market a product successfully to a specific person or you research a specific group and find out what they need and fulfill that need. The riddle is easy if you realise that marketing is most effective when it is simple and laser direct. Shotgun approach never works because it makes your customer feel unappreciated.

You have to first find out what people frequently wish they had or simply tell them what they will get if they buy from you and they will enjoy the entire experience. That’s how you solve the marketing riddle.

If you wish to learn this simple solution and make yourself a success you should join this premire course offered by Dave Vallieres @ www.course-marketing.com while spaces are still left.

It takes a special sense to know how to build businesses succesfully using any successful business model. Internet business ventures require an extra step because most of the stock is usually intangible. People, especially in the developing countries like South Africa, still do not realise how safe online transactions are with precautions. Once you have gained their trust then you will be a successful internet millionaire using a tweaked model.

To build an online business takes time and patience unlike what most people are told by scam artists out there. The skill needed to seperate the truth from fantasy was usually acquired at a high cost which the novice entrepreneur can scarecely afford to loose. Persistence from you will guarantee eventual success.

To cross the two year threshold is a necessary milestone. By then most of the scammers have been replaced and only those who provide genuine service and products still remain profitable, long after the hype has died down.

Russell Brunson is such a person, he works to better internet experience of all internet marketers expert or novice. This may sound like propaganda but its true. Everybody who has worked with him or his company will confirm that fact. His success comes from a simple but proven highly effective business model. He is not very aggressive in his approach but he works to empower other internet marketers to make money. He essentially works like a true business owner and builds systems to lessen his effort and money used. He has yet to lead me wrong in building my small empire.

He has re-released his affiliatelandmine membership where he retains his quality that has kept him successful over the years. Unfortunately there are only 500 memberships released at this point and you can join through special link. Like I told you, he is not a very aggressive internet marketer, like most successful online marketers out there. If you struggle with the link you can copy www.course-marketing.com/landmine

Microsoft was kind enough to get us some hands-on time with the Zune, not batting an eye as we eagerly slided the player down our pants, enjoying the material it was made out of. Our thoughts first, then a gallery later.

The outside is made out of a rubberized plastic, which goes through an interesting process where they paint the inside a different color than the case—this gives the Zune a two-toned look which both looks and feels great. The corners (meticulously selected down from hundreds of minutely different corners) look like they glow, which is called the “doubleshot effect”. This comes from the inside radius being different from the outside radius.

So the big news: The Zune will be upgradeable. How? Let us explain…

Microsoft’s put in WiFi on the Zune, which even though it doesn’t seem to be a big draw to consumers now. The hardware paves the road for them to do various other “scenarios” with the Zune. In the future, via software update, the Zune should be able to possibly do stuff like share songs over the internet, wirelessly sync with the computer, stream music/video to other devices, and much more. The hardware is there, but it just needs to be activated by software. Microsoft’s decided to focus (wisely) on making the Zune simple to use and intuitive for people to pick up. Something that we think they’ve achieved.

The UI is snappy and has lots of zooming, sliding and various cool effects when you’re navigating. Luckily, the eye candy doesn’t get in the way of usability. The click-pad isn’t too bad to use, but it’s not touch sensitive like the iPod wheels. The community menu options like sending files and pictures are all over the place. If you hit the middle button to get the context menu, you’ll most likely notice an entry called “send”, where you can send what you’re currently listening to to nearby Zunes. Overall the UI is pretty well designed, and iPod users shouldn’t be lost if they decide to migrate.

zunewidescreen.jpg
The Zune’s screen was bright even outside, and had pretty much zero glare. Movies and pictures played back smoothly, and the display transitioned automatically to landscape mode when you start a slideshow/movie. Pictures are auto-cropped to display large on the screen, and will be auto-resized down from the original whenever you send them to your friends over WiFi. The Zune was easy to hold in both landscape and regular modes—no problems at all.

There are also two new concepts: inbox and flagging. The Inbox is an area separate from your library where pictures and songs come in from other Zunes. You play your received songs from here, and once you sync, the songs will be uploaded to the Inbox on your PC. Flagging is similar—whenever you flag a song, the song will show up flagged on your PC after syncing for later reference. What was the 5th song I heard in that big random shuffle I listened to on the train? Oh right, I flagged it. It’s useful because you can’t go on your Zune Marketplace after you sync your songs and see your “recently played” list like you can on iTunes.

We also spent a good amount of time going over the Zune Marketplace, which is what you’re going to be using to buy and sync up music. The Zune is designed only to work with the Marketplace—which confirms that it will not work with Napster, Rhapsody, and other third-party subscription music services. But, ZM itself is really clean, with only enough icons and links to do what you need and no more. You can get the sense that iTunes was the benchmark they compared themselves to.

Another not-published or seldom-talked-about feature is guesting. A friend can take his Zune over to your computer, set up a “guest” relationship with your Zune Marketplace software (as opposed to a regular owner relationship), and you’re free to drag songs and pictures from your library onto her device. These songs do not have the 3 play 3 day limit on them. Depending on whether you purchased or you’re leasing these songs, you can do this with either 5 or 2 Zunes, respectively. So in essence, if your wife wants to grab a few songs off your library for listening to, she can—there’s no “wife” relationship yet, but engineers are probably working on that. As soon as they get wives.

Pricing is going to be the same as Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Marketplace points. I saw songs go for 79 points ($1), and it will be $15 for monthly subscriptions where you lease content. Microsoft’s not going to be advertising the subscription plan very much. You’re still going to have to convert real money into points, something they decided on because “points were so well received” on the 360. My response was: “really? They were well received? Because we heard quite a few complaints about having to switch money before you buy stuff.” To which they responded “well, 4 million people bought it, so to each his own.” I was thinking, “yeah, because what are they gonna do, NOT buy stuff? They have no choice,” but didn’t want to be an ass.

A cool feature that iTunes doesn’t have is pre-rated, or community rankings. When you buy songs from the store, you’ll notice that they already come pre-ranked on a scale of 5 blue stars. When you rank a song, it’ll rank it in orange stars. What’s the deal? Well, these blue stars are decided based on an algorithm combining other people’s rankings, the song’s popularity, and editorial rankings. If your library is bigger than the total space on the Zune, the Zune suite will auto-sync your library to your player based on these auto-rankings. Pretty great, because as much fun as it is to rank songs (one of my favorite things to do on iTunes for using them in smart playlists), most people don’t have the time to go and rate 3,000 songs. Pre-ratings are great for this. Which is good, because there’s no concept of “smart playlists” just yet. Bummer.

Speaking of editorials, Microsoft’s partnered with and hired a bunch of knowledgeable music folks who are going to be providing original text content for the marketplace. Whether it’s album reviews, song rankings (see above), artist descriptions, and editorials, you’ll see some cool text there.

Searching is also pretty snappy, and they’ve provided a consistent interface on both your own library and on the store, which they called the community. If you’re searching your library for an artist you don’t have, it’ll come back with a link to the marketplace for the correct artist/song. Another neat feature is the way albums/folders are displayed. There’s this nice spiral/stack of CDs under each item so you can quickly gauge how many items are under it visually without having a number or something else.

Miscellaneous stuff: no movie store (for now), can’t talk about how many major labels they have on, Zune Marketplace will never fully integrate into Windows Media Player for an all-in-one package like iTunes. You can easily stream stuff to the Xbox 360 from the Zune software (there’s even a setting in one of the options menus), or hook up your Zune to the 360 via USB. A phone may be one of the things upcoming, but as usual, they can’t confirm upcoming projects whether they exist or not.

Overall, this seems pretty promising. I can’t find any mis-steps or anything where I have to ask “wait, this is dumb, why did you do this?” in both the player and the software. The Zune itself is very sexy, and feels nice to the touch—not too heavy. We can’t wait to do another hands on as the launch date approaches. Oh, and I still can’t decide which color is my favorite.

Working at home is certainly a dream many people have, simply sitting there, doing things at the comfort of their house and the best, getting paid for that. If you talk to some older people, you will see that this home jobs in the past, were mainly to put stamps on letters for big companies and get paid for each letter you stamp. But today, all this part is automated, so no one will pay you to do that.

Than, a new term appeared, the data entry, it is most likely a typist job, you would get some content, and write it, or you get paper material, sometimes handwritten, and type it. You do not need many skills to do that, basically, you have to read, write, and type. But of course, there are typists and “typists”, if you have a good typing speed, you have a lot more chances to get some good jobs, and efficiency is the key for this kind of job, the closest to a perfect tying you get, the better positions you will get. To be good at data entry, you have to associate your typing speed with your ability to follow orders and discipline.

People say it is easy money, but it is not, it is a job, a big different, as you can do it from home, but it is still a job. Off line data entry companies are known to be more trusted, but there are serious ones on the internet too. Some time ago, there were plenty of jobs like this available on the internet, but now, the industry is filled with scam companies, that sometimes just try to steal your time and words, and sometimes even your money. So to get a good paying position, you have to search about good and bad companies, and do not be greedy, you will get paid for what you do, it is not a get rich quick scheme.

Finally, data entry is not a dream job, where you will get rich very quickly, but if you are really interested in making money and searching for the right opportunities, this can be a great part-time or even full-time job, a lot of people started on this business to get some extra money and ended up making a lot, you just have to want to do so, don’t be greedy, have discipline, and you’ll make a lot of money on data entry jobs, I assure you!
