Learn How to Handle Affiliate Markets Maturation Growth Part 1

By Xcelln


Affiliate Markets Saturation

What It Is, How It Affects You and How to Avoid It

Here is an alternative description that depicts the essential qualities of market saturation and that is consumer desensitization. Both concepts are not good, specifically when you are an affiliate marketer. Today, affiliate marketing can be called the very best avenue to create money on the internet. When one has to deal with affiliate markets saturation, would one still be encouraged to engage in this business at all?

What is market saturation?

Market saturation, certainly in relative to affiliate marketing, is the conception of a period in time, spanning the life of the marketed product, when interest for a commodity or service tops out and starts declining. Research has shown various reasons, such as:

Greater number of affiliates in a targeted area. This takes place when an affiliate program does not oversee the growth of their commodities market-share

When an influx of affiliates join the team, the industry has an unexpected assault by identical items. The limitation is on the amount of people able to buy, become a member, or join, after awhile the affiliate market saturation happens.

Less and less call-for marketed item and buyers desire. One can find multiple basis for the change in consumer desire for an affiliate product, but when it occurs within the arena of affiliate markets saturation, it is very plausible that the clients attractions to its novelty has waned. This is really obvious when that consumer item had good marketing success and captured a market-share due to sensational promotion. Buyers desire, after awhile, will level off and slowly taper off.

Infiltration of contending merchandise in the same marketing arena. Contenders can be a positive benefit toward your affiliate marketing organization. Conversely, there can be a damaging affect also. The affiliate merchandise that you are promoting today could have outstanding returns but if a comparable product should surface in the future contends directly with you for share of market, you could be in for some serious head-to-head competition.

Now imagine if 10 or 15 other similar products appear on the market...

Avoiding affiliate markets saturation

Even though in a large number of organizations market saturation is going to happen, (take a gander at failing of many multi-level-marketing plans), your affiliate marketing strategy does not have to become a victim. Here are a few components that you must study with caution so that you see how when to detour away from affiliate marketing programs that cannot meet your income expectations.

Can 2 Simple Sales Letter Copywriting Techniques Really Help You?

By Chris Stafford


A sales letter that is cleverly-written is similar to a sales person in a department store except you don't have to provide benefits for or compensate your sales letter! Your sales letter instead works tirelessly around the clock, year-in-and-year-out, representing you, your business, your product or service and generating sales. But before you can reap the many benefits of a winning sales letter such as this, you must first learn how to construct a sales letter that is persuasive, compelling, thought-provoking and high-converting. Furthermore, your sales letter should be written with your target market in mind.

Why is it that the vast majority of marketers find it hard to write a sales letter for their product or service? The simple answer is that most individuals when faced with the task of writing, hate to write. And this fear of writing especially holds true in regard to marketers. A more thorough explanation is that while there are countless resources available on the topic of how to write a sales letter, a large portion of this information was written under the assumption that the marketer (you) already knows how to construct a sales letter. With all of these obstacles to overcome, the average marketer soon becomes overwhelmed and tosses in the towel.

Then there is the smart marketer who is more experienced and searches for automated solutions like sales letter software and templates to help him with writing a sales letter. But after using these inferior tools for a short period of time, the marketer soon decides that these tools are not helpful at all and he is right back where he started from. Why? Because most often times the individual or business who wrote the materials mentioned earlier, also wrote the software based on the assumption that the marketer is already experienced with writing a sales letter.

So how do they do it? How can other marketers put together compelling, persuasive and thought-provoking sales letters that sell their products and services like crazy but without using sales letter software and templates? It's simple, these marketers are either experienced copywriters themselves who write their own sales letters or they have adequate resources to hire the job out. But before you consider hiring a pro copywriter to construct a sales letter for your product or service, consider this. Most copywriters will charge you between $5,000 up to a whopping $20,000 per sales letter! If you decide to go this route, you better be sure that your product or service is in great demand so that you can absorb this expense.

If you know without a shadow of a doubt that your product or service is in demand, are certain that you can afford to invest the money and are capable of absorbing the expense as a result of your sales, then go ahead and hire a copywriter. If not, then you can keep your money in your wallet and construct a profitable sales letter free-of-charge by leeching off the success of other marketer's sales letters in your niche. Am I insinuating that you just copy someone else's sales letter and claim it as your own? Not at all. That's considered plagiarism and can get you into a whole lot of trouble. Instead, the easiest way to master the art of writing a sales letter is to conduct a search on your favorite search engine for products or services exactly like or similar to yours.

As an example, type the phrase "allintitle:cars that run on water" (minus the quotes) into the search field and see what pops up. Scroll through your search results and see if something catches your eye. Click on that result and if its a sales letter which has all of the benefits discussed earlier, copy the contents (text) of the sales letter and paste it into a word processor like MSWord or NotePad. Completely re-write each paragraph so that it is relevant to your product or service. Save your sales letter and then re-visit it the next day to polish it up.

Another handy technique you might want to use to learn how to write a sales letter is to join the email lists of gurus who sell products or services in your area of interest. In a few days or so, you'll begin receiving pitch emails in your inbox promoting the latest and greatest gadget or membership site. But don't just trash these emails. Instead, read through the subject lines and see if any of them jump out at you. Does any one of the subject lines compel you to want to purchase the product or service? If one or more of them do, click on the email and look for a direct link to the sales letter then click this link to load your browser on the sales page. Follow the steps as discussed in the previous paragraph to re-write your sales letter. Adopt this and the method mentioned in the previous paragraph for an entire month and before you realize it, you'll have enough experience to crank out a profitable sales letter for all of your products or services for many years to come!

Mastering the art of sales letter writing is the most important skill you'll ever learn. And, can be quite lucrative if you become good at it. But why should you take the time to learn this skill? Because without a well-crafted sales letter to represent your product or service, your product or service is doomed to fail! In other words, no sales equates to no money. In the previous paragraphs, we have learned that in order for a sales letter to be successful, it must be persuasive, compelling , thought-provoking, high-converting and consist of the six essential elements. With all of these factors in place along with an aggressive advertising campaign, you can expect to sell a large volume of units for many years to come. If not, then you may as well get used to working a 40-hour work week for the rest of your days. In our next article, we'll dissect a sales letter into its six essential parts and show you exactly what makes up a successful sales letter that will sell your software, info product or service like crazy!

But is there an easier way? Is it possible for you to write a sales letter without having to use the above techniques or remember everything that goes into writing a profitable sales letter? Yes, there is a much easier way and it requires very little knowledge or effort on your part. This tool includes everything you need to start writing a sales letter for whatever product or service you want to sell. It includes a built-in pre-written sales letter template and a headlines swipe file database that contains well over 900+ winning headlines for you to choose from all in one compact tool.

Best SEO Strategies

By Ken Knorr


Targeting SEO to achieve results

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is targeted at achieving high search engine ranking for relevant keyword phrases. This can be achieved in many ways and SEO companies employ various techniques and strategies in order to take their clients? sites to Google?s top pages. But what is the best Search Engine Optimization strategy? This is really not a simple question to answer, for SEO techniques can get extremely sophisticated and often involve multi-component blends of methods and technologies.

Don't go to the "Dark Side" (No Black hat)

To develop an effective SEO campaign one should avoid the so-called black hat techniques that exploit such risky practices as spamdexing, link farms and keyword stuffing which can result in a removal of the site from search engine listings. To be on the safe side you need to abide by the rules and guidelines set up by the major search engines.

Simplicity Wins

The proper functioning of any site to a large extent depends on the performance of its code and design. If you want to make your site appealing to users you shouldn?t overload it with bandwidth graphics and slowly loading animation. Keep the navigation simple and easily understandable for the users, while the main thing that drives them to your site is not the exquisite finery but the valuable and informative content that you offer. However important it is, design is always just a means of obtaining information.

Uniqueness Counts

Since we?ve identified information as a top priority of the SEO campaign, the site?s content is obviously the next element to consider. Just like the internet users, search engines are primarily interested in unique content that is highly relevant to the topic your site claims to be dealing with. The articles, manuals, guides and what-not that you place on your site, should be informative, clear and useful. Even if you manage to drive a lot of traffic to your site, the best Search Engine Optimization results would be when the users want to stay or come back to your resource for more information. And that would only be the case if you constantly update your site adding more content as often as possible.

Build Good Internal Linking

Since we?ve identified information as a top priority of the SEO campaign, the site?s content is obviously the next element to consider.

Lowering Your Costs With Vendors While Building Relationships

By Stu McLaren


Getting your products and services from concept to cash you need vendors and fulfillment. Anyone from web programmers, fulfillment houses, graphic designers. Whatever type of vendors you may need to use in your business this article will outline a few tips about how you can lower your fulfillment costs while building quality relationships.

One great way to build your relationship with someone is to send them as many referrals as you can. By sending them recommendations and referrals they will see your relationships as having more value then just someone they do business with. When I do this with the vendors I work with I am now not only benefiting them by giving them business but by also bringing more business to them. This puts me in a much more favorable light then most of their costumers. You want to give them as many benefits as quickly as possible - sending referrals is a very easy method to do so.

I've also done joint venture projects with my vendors. Here's a quick scenario. One of the people that I was working with was a graphic designer. We decided to do a joint venture project together, where she would do the graphic design at no cost, I would provide the product and then put for the marketing effort, and together we would split the profits.

Just like that I saved myself a ton of money! The costs for a graphic designer were gone and when I was first starting out I used this strategy a lot because I simply didn't have the money to put down for elements like that.

I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Good plan, except your only going to make half of what you could have made." Just stop and think about it. I take the standpoint that it is much better to get your projects actually completed and make some money instead of not getting anything completed and make no money.

If I wasn't willing to work on building that relationship with that vendor, that project would have never been completed. If I didn't get that project done I would be making no money from it. Instead that project would remain in the pile of possible ideas, bringing in no profit.

When you are on a tight marketing budget, you've got to get creative. And that is one creative idea that I've used. I've also used that with web developers.

Another tip I suggest when working with vendors and you want to save a lot of money is to do a lot of work ahead of time. By doing this you are going to save the vendor time and save them effort. Don't be afraid to ask them questions like, how you could save money, or what else you can do to cut down their time or effort. Vendors want to help you, they want to do business with you. They also know people have budgets to work within and they will help you figure things out.

Another idea is to create a template versus a one-off project, so that you can use it over and over again without incurring more costs each time. Let me explain that in a little detail.

We will use developing e-Books for example. Instead of getting a graphic designer to design a specific layout for each of your e-Books you generate, it would be a lot easier and cheaper for you to get them to design a template. That way you can use that template for every e-Book you generate after that point instead of paying for it again.

Even though this may seem like a different approach, it will save you tons of money in the long run. For your graphic designer its about the same amount of effort, but saves you money. This is just another creative idea on how you can build quality relationships with your vendors but also save yourself a lot of money.

In this article, I've outlined a few really quick and easy strategies that can help you build stronger relationships with your vendors and fulfillment companies while saving your money. Many more strategies will come to you once you really start thinking about it.

By exploring your creativity ideas will come to you when you need them the most!

Attract the Perfect Prospects by Marketing Smarter

By Cathy Yeatts


Are you working yourself dizzy trying to build your mlm business, but feel like you?re getting nowhere with your prospects? Maybe it's time to pause, take a breath and rethink your approach.

The ability to answer the following questions and to effectively put those answers into practice is essential to achieving the growth you desire for your home business.

1. Who is my target group, and what are their needs?

2. What am I marketing?

3. How am I marketing this?

The answer to Question 1 involves some simple psychology. Everyone wants to feel understood. Learn who your target market is, what they've been through, and what they're looking for. Then you will be much more effective at marketing the solutions they need.

Put yourself in their shoes and imagine. Why do they need the product or opportunity you offer? What products or business opportunities have they tried before and found disappointing? What might these prospects be feeling? What are their concerns for the future? This is called empathy. It works in relationships, and it works in business, because, simply put, business is just a magnification of the human relationship.

Keep the feelings of your target market in the forefront of your mind, and never underestimate the importance emotions in marketing. (No, it's not dirty to market things based on emotions. It's realistic. It's just another one of those basics of human interaction. Emotions almost always lead actions by the hand.)

In answer to Question 2, you probably said, "I'm marketing my company's products and business opportunity." That's true, in a sense, but what you really need to focus on marketing is yourself. Some of my more scrupulous readers may be cringing at the though of "selling themselves". However, we all market ourselves every day. You are your own priceless commodity, and your market yourself to friends, family and employers on a regular basis.

If you doubt that and still want to concentrate on products, consider this: There are 28.7-billion people* involved in direct selling, and that number is rapidly growing. A lot of them are offering products and opportunities similar to yours. So the important thing to consider in your marketing is, "Why should your target group join you?"

Give them a reason to trust you. Present yourself as the type of sponsor they would like to work with. Be the kind of leader who is knowledgeable, helpful, informative and approachable. Make your name and face as close to omnipresent on the web as you can. Familiarity breeds trust.

The final thing to consider when setting up your marketing is, "How am I presenting this?" Well . . . that is a topic that would take many articles to write about! But I can give a few pointers here.

There are many free sources of advertising on the Internet. You can get your business, your ideas, even your face out on the web using YouTube, Squidoo, and many others. There are also paid forms of advertising like Google Adwords (a pay-per-click service) or banner ads.

Articles are a great way to promote yourself and your business. As you're writing, keep in mind the types of keywords your target audience might be typing into the search engine boxes and incorporate those words or phrases often into your text.

If article writing reminds you too much of those college term papers, you can outsource your writing projects using a service like Elance that can connect you with thousands of freelancers.

You can spread your content throughout the Internet using article directories like ezinearticles.com or GoArticles.com. Keep your content fresh and updated to keep yourself in the search engines' sights.

Reassess your marketing techniques often and use these tips to give your network marketing business the jumpstart it needs.

How To Continually Grow Your Affiliate Checks The promise of earning profits without really doing much of anything has enticed a lot of people towards affiliate marketing. But does affiliate marketing really work this way?

Of course you want earn huge amount of commission. Who would not want it anyway? Keep in mind, however, that affiliate marketing cannot guarantee you instant success if you don't work on it. There are a lot of ways of maximizing your income. The Internet is a huge library of information, use it to learn of other opportunities and ways to increase your income. You can partner with several merchandisers and promote different products in your website; thereby, increasing your chance to earn a commission.

Successful affiliates in any affiliate program simply don't sit there and wait for money to come. Why? Because there is no money in simply sitting and waiting. If you want to be successful in affiliate marketing and if you want to continually grow your affiliate checks, you've got to do something. Think of ways on how to promote your merchant's business and products better. Think of ways on how to induce other people to click on the link or ad provided to you by your merchant. Think of ways on how to make your affiliate sales increase!

Merchants place their ads in Google, which is one of the most popular search engines or tools for locating various resources in the World Wide Web. Now the Google AdSense program allows you to display these ads in you website and when your visitors click through them, you earn. The advertiser, which is the merchant pays Google for every click-through made by the customer and you as a partner of Google, gets a share from that payment.

Become an expert on your affiliate product. You can promote your merchant's product better if you know a lot of things about it. To become an expert, the best thing you can do is purchase your merchant's product yourself. This way, you can tell your customers about your first-hand experience using the product. You can even write a testimonial or a personal endorsement ad about it. But if any condition does not permit you to purchase the product, you can at least make a thorough research about it.

Host your own website. Or at least have a domain name that is short and easy to remember. You certainly wouldn't expect a visitor to remember a very long and incomprehensible URL. And if that's so, you also wouldn't expect him to visit your website any time soon. That means less traffic for your page and the less chance for your affiliate ads and links to be clicked.

It is also a good idea to create a private website and offer access to it to anybody who clicks on any of your affiliate ads. Visitors usually get interested with these private websites. Private websites also gives you a venue to promote your back-end affiliate products.

Write your own affiliate ads. Many merchants usually wouldn't mind if you write and design your own ads for their products, for as long as you ask permission from them and present them your ad before posting it on your site. This gives you a greater advantage over a lot of other affiliates who must be advertising the same affiliate products.

How does he do this? Well, first of all, he's not doing anything illegal, and if you want to participate in this secret, too, you don't need to know someone on the "inside" at one of the major search engines, such as MSN, Yahoo or Google.

Instead, this fellow tapped into this secret "just before 2000" when search engines were all the rage. He began to test his theory out at first, and later expanded fully after truly understanding what it was all about.

The same man has gone on to start and run 16 online companies that sell everything from software to games and books, children's toys, DVDs and pet food. He sells his own manufactured products, but he's also become an affiliate for other businesses. As he does this, he applies what he's learned about his so-called "paid" (really free) advertising secret.

So powerful is his secret that he's able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.

As for you, this fellow is now giving his secret out to the public. However, he's not saying how long he'll make this secret available.

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.

How to Start Your Own Website in 5 Steps

By Darrel Hawes


You may be at the point where you want to begin your own website. If so, here's a list of what you should do.

First, purchase a domain name. Please, before you do this, follow these simple rules to find a suitable name:

End with a .com.

Easy to spell.

Easy to say over the phone or in person.

Does not include numeric characters or dashes

Try to include alliteration or other elements to make it memorable.

Descriptive of what you are offering.

Now the following are general guidelines and there are a few cases where you may safely ignore a few of them. One case is where you have your own blog rather than on the behalf of your company. If that is the case, many people will use their own name for the domain name, even if it is difficult to spell.

One other potential exception is that of a descriptive name. Although it is normally preferable to have a descriptive domain name, many examples exist where this is not the case. Consider Google: one might initially think a better name would be TheBestSearchEngine.com. Put some thought into identifying your target audience and what appeals to them.

Next, select a web host to host your web pages.

The third step is to setup your website. You will need to make a decision fairly quickly what format will be suit your needs.

Fourth, add content to your site. Here is where blogs really shine. In many cases, you can even add content via email! To add content to your blog site, you don't need any special software; you merely log into the site from any computer and add away to your heart's content.

The fifth step is to arrange a plan for promoting your website. After going to all the work of setting up your site, you want to make sure that as many people know about it as possible. How will you make this happen? Some possible methods include writing articles, making videos, writing press releases, posting on forums, and posting on blogs.

Putting up a website can be quite taxing but can also reward you in more ways than you might realize.

Some people tell me, "Yeah, but Stu, you're giving away 50% of the profits. That's a big chunk of money." Well, time out for a second. I'm of the viewpoint that it's better to get your projects completed and making some money versus keeping all of nothing and not getting anything completed.

If I wasn't willing to work on building that relationship with that vendor, that project would have never been completed. If I didn't get that project done I would be making no money from it. Instead that project would remain in the pile of possible ideas, bringing in no profit.

When you are on a tight marketing budget, you've got to get creative. And that is one creative idea that I've used. I've also used that with web developers.

The other thing that you can do to save a lot of money when you're working with vendors is do as much of the work as possible, ahead of time. You're saving the vendor time. You're saving them effort. You can ask them, perhaps, questions on how you could save money, how you could cut down their effort, cut down your overall project costs. These vendors will work with you. They'll help you. They know you have budgets to work within, and so they're always interested in working with you and trying to help you.

Another idea is to create a template versus a one-off project, so that you can use it over and over again without incurring more costs each time. Let me explain that in a little detail.

We'll use an e-Book as an example. Instead of getting your graphic designer to design a specific layout for your one e-Book, why don't you just get them to design a template you can use to every other e-Book you develop?

This is a different way about going things - the thing is you will save tons of money - thousands - in the long-run. As for the graphic designer its about the same amount of effort for them to put forth. This is just another idea about how you can again build your relationships with your vendors, but also save a lot of money.

Your vendors and fulfillment companies can really make a difference in your business and these are just a few ideas on how you can build your relationship with them and also cut costs. More strategies will come to you if you only start thinking outside the box!

May ideas come to you when you need them most!

4 Crucial Article Marketing Elements to Make You Money

By Harry Constantine


The importance of article marketing in today's websites and internet based companies is incalculable. It dictates a lot in the success and the drive of traffic into your sites. Article marketing has become a key element in making a site work and makes you money. As a webmaster, you must have the good sense to include articles in his or her site that will work for them and earn them the many benefits articles can give to their site.

Article marketing has been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website with articles. And articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles; they have certain requirements as well. These requirements must be achieved to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for you.

Below are 4 crucial article marketing elements to make your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.

Keywords and Keyword Phrases.

An article must always be centered on the keywords or keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, they are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When it happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. historic archery, firefighter retirement gift, electric torch mini). It could be anything they want.

The important thing is you must have your article that has the keywords that are related to your site. There are many keywords tools in the internet that can help you out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use these tools to determine what keywords to use and write about.

Keyword Density

Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used in an article. An article should have good keyword density for a search engine to feel its presence. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. If the density is too high, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines.

Great Article Content For Your Readers

Like what I mentioned above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials for your readers. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide great information and help them for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out.

Try to present great information and as many facts as you can to your readers. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your niche. As more people believe in you, they will more trust you and your products.

Links

And another important factor to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezines or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON'T ever forget to include a link point to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site. It will also gain link juice for your websites to help your them rank higher in search engines.

The Best Way To Make Money Online According To Me!

By Larry D. Johnson


Making money online is a great thing. You don't have a boss and you have your own interest and program. Making money online is an art rather than a "job". That is, it requires talent as well skills. Making money online is my hobby rather than my occupation.

I have been making money online for just over 4 years now. I have found the easiest and quickest way to make money on the Internet when you are new, is to copy what someone else has already done, that is already working.

Since I have been marketing online for a while now, I know that the marketers who can make the most money, the fastest are the ones who have a list of prospects that they can e-mail their offers to. The old saying "The Money Is In The List" is true. When you have an list of people interested in your offer that you can mail to, that's money in the bank.

Here is the basic process of building a list. First, you need something Free to give to people. Something of value that they can use online or off whether they have their own business or not. When you offer this Free product or service through advertising, the only way for people to get your Free product or service is to give you their name and e-mail address. Now you have a prospect to mail your offer to. You build your list by using this process over and over again.

The biggest problem that I see starting out, using this method of offering something free to your prospects to contact information, is that there is no money exchanged. You are not getting paid when you offer something free to your prospect. Granted you are getting their contact information for future promotions, but you are paying money to advertise your free offer and you are not receiving any compensation to cover advertising cost. Well I found a solution to that problem.

Here is how it works. You will offer a program that will build a huge opt-in list of targeted prospects for anyone who uses it. You will be giving away Free vacations to anyone who joins your list building program. It cost $10 to join the program. Your prospects will pay you and 4 other marketers $2.00 each. Here is the kicker. When your prospects make the same offer, anyone who joins their list will also pay you $2.00 and so on down 5 levels deep.

The reason this program is so effective is that it's so simple and inexpensive to run. Look what can happen when you follow the simple program instructions. Everyone who joins this pays 5 people $2 each. That's the $10 cost involved. You then start receiving tons of $2 payments yourself. First from your 10. Then from their 10, then from their 10, etc. If everyone were to take a full month to get their 10 this is what you can expect to earn each month... Month 1: $20 (whoopie!) Month 2: $200 (looking better) Month 3: $2,000 (lets go shopping) Month 4: $20,000 (goodbye CC debt - hello Cancun!) Month 5: $200,000 (goodbye mortgage)

In my opinion this is a great way to get started marketing on the internet, because you have a product to offer that will build you a huge list of opt-in prospects that you can promote other offers to, plus it generates income to help offset your advertising cost. The program is simple and inexpensive to promote, you get a Free 3 day 2 night vacation, plus you have the potential to earn $20,000 in 4 months and build a 10,000 strong prospect list all for just $10. For more details on this amazing program, click the link in the resource box.

Unique Selling Proposition the MOR Vacations Way

By Jay NaPier


Over the last 10 years the way people travel has changed. We used to just pick up the phone and call the local travel agent, but the internet has changed everthing. The store front travel agencies have closed their doors and today, those same agents work as home travel agents.

Travel search is how many are now doing their travel booking, but the big 3 booking engines make it tough to get the best value. Travel memberships like MOR Vacations are now becoming the most popular option because it's just easier to use.

Home Travel Agencies, Certificate Programs, and Condo Reselling programs are the main options for a career from home in travel. Rhinelander, Wisconsin's MOR Vacations has quickly become the front runner in the travel industry.

MOR Vacations is unique because they understand that to be successful as a business they must first recognize who's doing the work. Yes, the affiliates. Or, as Johnny Bolton like to say "Imagine That, a sales company that has sales contests!"

The characteristics of MOR Vacations started with a great travel product, but was just the beginning. MOR Vacations management understands that having a great travel product is important, but having recognition, training, events, and the best web tools is important to a long term, successful business.

Jon King, owner of MOR Vacations is a 25 year veteran of the network marketing/ direct sales business as a web services provider and as you can imagine the internet tools, training and presence provided to MOR Vacations affiliates will be top of the line.

The MOR Vacations memberships are top of the line. You might even call them the Merdeces of travel membership. MOR Vacations offers: Over 5400 Resort Destinations, Vacation Condos upto 85% off, Last Minute Condo and pool home vacations starting at $149 for the week, Discounts at over 20,000 Hotels and Motels, Discounts on Cruises upto 50%, All inclusive vacations and tours at upto 50% discount, 50% off: Amusement theme parks, tourist attractions Golf, Skiing and snowboarding, Discount Car Rental and Motor Home Rental, Discounted Houseboat rental, And that's not all.

MOR Vacations even has a 24hour concierge service that will book your vacation for you. Yes, friendly people just like years ago when you could call your local travel agent. Members also have a 5% to 15% cash back program that provides even greater discounts on many travel destinations.

MOR Vacations has really done Unique Selling Propostion right. It's what makes MOR Vacations such a value and why many who could not afford to travel now will. Many Network marketers who were a part of travel agency program are not joining MOR Vacations to provide their clients with better value.

How To Find A Good SEO Consultant

By Dave Davis


Good SEO consultants are very hard to find. The industry is very new and right now there are people with little expertise that are selling themselves as industry experts. A legit consultant of SEO should be well versed in search engine optimization, search engine marketing, and other areas of internet marketing.

A talented consultant can take the search traffic of your business to the next level. He should also be able to help you to understand the time and costs of your inherent SEO campaign.

There are hundreds of benefits you could get if you hired the right SEO. These benefits will include the restructuring of your site to rank important pages, selection of keywords that can bring quick traffic, and the ability to tag pages properly.

A solid SEO consultant should also be able to help you to learn from the analytics of your site. This can help you to convert more visitors into sales or subscribers. PPC and email marketing should also be optional methods that can be shown to you by a solid consultant.

Since there are literally hundreds of consultants out there, it isn't always easy to find the right one. Asking the right questions can help you to make a good choice about the ones you're considering.

Ask and check out his qualifications. The time as a SEO consultant doesn't necessarily mean a better SEO. It's helpful to see his certifications such as a Google Advertising Professional.

Someone who runs a good business should be able to produce plenty of solid references and testimonials. If your prospective consultant can't, send him packing.

Inquire about the mode of reporting and overall communication that you will be receiving. A professional SEO firm will have a workflow in place of client/vendor deliveries and other expectations. It's a must to understand all channels of contact.

You should also ask your potential hire what kinds of rankings they can guarantee. A solid consultant will know that he can't guarantee anything and one that will might as well be selling snake oil.

What changes will be made on your website? This is a topic you will need to discuss thoroughly with the SEO consultant if you have complex navigation, pull-down menus, hierarchical trees, spiders, etc. Changes are crucial for SEO, especially to structure.

If you believe that you have found the right person, go ahead and make the hire.

The 7 Compelling Reasons for You To Launch Your Website Today

By Darrel Hawes


If you've decided to go ahead and start your website, when should you do it?

The short answer to this question is: as quickly as possible. Here are several reasons why this is true.

First, you won't actually begin benefiting owning your site until it is launched. The benefits can mean more revenue, and also many result in reduced costs to address customer service problems. One use of a business website is to show customers how to use your products right on the website itself, saving your staff from dealing with these issues on the phone.

Second, older domains tend to rank better in Google. This will give you an advantage when people search for what you are offering.

Third, once your site is up and running, you can begin promoting it. Since the effects of such promotion are cumulative, and you or your representatives can only do so much every day, you will want to start on promotion as soon as possible. Some of the promotion you can do include articles, video, press releases, commenting on blogs, and forum marketing.

Fourth, starting right away means you can start "catching up" with your competitors that much sooner.

Fifth, any effort that you put in today will give you a lead over your competition who are not online. People often put off starting a website, believing it will be time-consuming and difficult.

Sixth, starting a website today (if it looks halfway decent) will make potential customers more comfortable in dealing with you. If they can check you out ahead of time, they often feel better about contacting you, and more importantly, spending their money with you.

Seventh, because the average person requires several different interactions with you before they will buy, a website can lessen the personal interactions required to induce your prospect to spend money with you. By including articles or documentation on your website, you can help the prospect get to a buying decision with little direct effort on your part.

Best Practices for Transporting Trade Show Displays

By Amy Nutt


Transporting your tradeshow display doesn't involve rocket science, but it isn't something you want to skimp on either. It does take a bit of planning and coordination. Why do you need to be so careful? That is because you want to make sure all components of your trade show display needs to arrive at the event on time. This literally means that the shipping and delivery of trade show displays has to be choreographed like it is a ballet.

The major exhibitors will hire companies who specialize in trade show display transport. These companies take care of the packing, the shipping, and even the warehousing of the trade show display. Once the trade show display arrives at the trade show, the company then makes sure that everything is delivered to the booth location at the right time. They'll even take care of assembly, dismantling, and the return shipping.

Hiring a company is a great thing to do, but not every exhibitor is in the position to be able to take on such an investment. Yes, it is convenient, but it takes time to reach the capacity to be able to enjoy such a service. That means the alternative solution is to transport it yourself.

Options

You still have the option to hire a freight carried to ship your display from your storage location to the trade show. If you go this route, you want to hire a freighter that is experienced in shipping trade show displays. You can even check with the trade show to see if they are contracted with a particular shipping company that serves as the event's official carrier. If so, you can check into using that carrier and see what types of discounts they may offer for being the official carrier of the event.

If hiring a freighter is still not an option for you, you can look into companies such as U-Haul to transport your display booth. You have the ability to choose what size truck you need to get the job done and they are usually not very expensive to rent. This can be a very cost effective solution for you. As long as you have the manpower to take it out of the truck, set it up, and then take it down at the end of the day, you are in business by taking this route. Then again, you can always purchase a vehicle if you believe you'll be paying a lot of money in rental costs. This could be a solution for you that would prove to be less expensive in the long run.

Best practices

As for the best transport practices, you need to ensure that everything is secure in the back of the truck. You do not want anything being loose or the sharpest of turns will cause everything to thrash around. This is what causes displays to become broken during transport.

So what you need to do is invest in straps. When using something such as a moving truck, there are already straps in the truck that allow you to strap items to the walls. You can place smaller items in boxes and strap those down as well. You want to make sure that everything is secure or you're going to arrive at your trade show with a broken display. It would be terrible to arrive to your destination and find that you can't let your display shine to the fullest. That is why you need to be mindful of what vehicle you are transporting your display in and how secure it is when you do.

The 3 Advantages of Company Clothing

By Epolos Articles


Something as simple as having your employees wear company clothing can brand you as successful, before you even get there. And, perception in everything is business. Once you are perceived as successful, it's but a hop, skip and a jump until you achieve it - if you work hard to capitalize on this success. Following are three bottom-line advantages of having your employees wear company clothing.

Inexpensive: Company clothing saves your employees in many ways. They are akin to school uniforms for children, which, none-to-ironically is why parents like them. Now, parents themselves can have this benefit.

Showing your employees that you care about their budget in this way will pay big dividends for you in employee turnover rate, for example. This is a concept almost all of your employees will support.

Most employees embrace the concept of company clothing just for this reason.

Heighten Employee Morale: One of the better reasons to mandate company clothing as a uniform is that you can heighten employee morale. Although this may be a subconscious, side benefit it is an important one.

Specifically, when employees wear company clothing, for example, many obvious differences between them tend to fade into the background. A case in point: Employee A works next to Employee B, who is always dressed immaculately. Employee A feels inferior because he can't afford to dress on the level of Employee B. This can lead to resentment, jealousy and even outright malice, which all boils down to poor job performance.

Requiring employees to wear Company clothing eliminates this possibility, and perhaps improves employee morale also. Either way, the end result is improved employee performance.

Presents Polished Image: One of the best reasons a company might consider providing Company clothing to employees is that it presents a polished image to prospects and clients.

For all of these reasons, and quite a few more, one of the better investments you can make in your company's bottom line is to invest in Company clothing.

How to get into teh ebook business

By Andrew Raymond


Overachieving Your Way to Super Affiliate Stardom Internet business is a bit confusing especially if you're not really knowledgeable at it. You will also be left completely blank, asking yourself as to what type of online business is best for you. Why don't you try affiliate marketing business?

Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

In this type of online business, you don't have to take any risk because you only have to pay the affiliate once the result is achieved. Once a customer is gained, a portion of the profit from that customer will be given to the affiliate as commission. Usually, an affiliate gets a commission for referring clicks, leads or sales to the merchant's website. The said affiliate income can be a fixed dollar amount or a fixed percentage.

From this simple commission-based referral system, some affiliates become experts on this field. In fact, some of them are gaining more than five figures every month. However, among the thousands of marketers, only 1 to 5% of them reached this level. And if you're among the lucky ones who achieve this so-called elite level, you can now be aptly called a "super" affiliate.

Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

But how does a person become a super affiliate? And how can they overachieve their way to super affiliate stardom? Making your way to super affiliate stardom is not that easy; and it surely won't happen overnight. Bear in mind that you need to embrace some tactics, carry out effective online business strategies and of course give hefty time commitment. You can't be a super affiliate without blood and sweat and without the following traits - patience, persistence and thirst for knowledge. Matched with efficient strategy, these three traits provide you the formula towards super affiliate stardom.

When you sign up with an affiliate marketing program, you are usually required to fill out a form containing information about yourself. Some affiliate programs may also require you to present the URL of your website and describe its contents. This will allow the retailers to verify that you actually have a website with contents that are relevant to their products. Some affiliate programs, however, won't require you to have a website. After filling out the form and all, you are then allowed to choose the affiliate programs you want to promote.

The next step you must do after you have established your affiliate storehouse is to promote it. Most affiliates resort to pay-per-click engines. But what's more advisable is to discover how to accomplish organic search results or better yet, hire a search engine marketing company. Through this, you can be saved from losing all your profits on pay-per-click engines.

Get the Quickest Traffic to Your Website

By Darrel Hawes


If you have a website, you need traffic.

You may be asking: what do you mean by "traffic". I'm glad you asked. Website traffic refers to people checking out your site. Consider the possibility of laying out the investment to build a website, and thousands of dollars later, you have nice-looking site that no one knows about and thereby not earning you money. You may as well put a McDonald's smack-dab in the middle of Death Valley.

There are many ways to get traffic. If you need traffic fast, there are two basic methods you can use.

The first basic fast-traffic method is to borrow the traffic. This may or may not work for your industry, but try and get creative and adapt it to your business because it can be very effective. What is done is to convince another website owner with a list of prospects and customers that would be interested in your product or service, and encourage them to recommend your products or services. In most cases, you will have to give them an affiliate or referral commission in order to encourage the referral.

This method works for at least two reasons. First, someone else has gone to the trouble of identifying people interested in a particular topic, saving you the time and expense of locating the same. Second, you are "borrowing" the credibility of the person who refers people to you. Think about this for a minute. When making a buying decision, whether for a film, restaurant, or clothing store, do you rely more upon traditional advertising or do you prefer to get recommendations from friends and trusted acquaintances? The answer for most is the latter.

The "borrowing traffic" method can generally be performed without upfront cash, though you will have to pay a percentage of sales.

The next fast-traffic method we'll discuss is paid advertising. There are several types of paid advertising, and the very first you should consider is pay-per-click advertising. Google's Adwords program is the easiest to begin with, and eventually you will want to research using Yahoo and MSN as well. Pay-per-click advertising's great benefit is the ability to hone in one certain keywords that people are looking for, and as an added bonus, you can start getting traffic in 10 minutes or less.

Pay-per-click advertising is effective for many reasons. One reason is that you can match exactly what people are searching for. Additionally, pay-per-click advertising can be tracked. As an example, Google can identify which keywords generated the most "clicks" and using their conversion tracker, you can also determine which specific keywords led to a sales conversion.

This method does mean you will pay before making sales, although Google probably won't charge your credit card until the end of the month. As a caution, in the beginning you will want to monitor your Adwords account often to make sure you are not spending more than you intended.

We have only covered two methods of generating traffic to your site. In future articles, we will cover many more.

Promotional Incentives Really Do Work

By Thomas Gibson


To run a successful business, you need customers. The billion dollar question is how to go about getting them. For many companies, the answer is found in promotional incentive strategies.

Promotional incentives are exactly what they sound like. They are carrots to generate interest. If the prospect takes the desired action, they get the promised incentive. This can work in a number of ways, so a few examples are in order.

Sheryl Crow makes popular music. She is fired up about getting people to vote in the coming presidential election. To motivate citizens, she is letting fans download her music for free if they register to vote.

This is a double win for Crow. First, she is getting the action she desires, to wit, people are registering. Second, she is getting positive public relations because she is giving music away for free. It is an excellent promotional strategy.

Another classic example is found with casinos. Casinos will do just about anything they can to get people through the door. What carrots do they use? Entertainment, discounted rooms, family events and sporting events are just a few.

Finally, we can look to the old television to see the classic promotional incentive strategy. Yes, I am talking about the infomercial. Admit it. You have occasionally thought about buying one of those gadgets and have actually done so.

How do infomercials work? They offer so many promotional incentives that you cannot help but think you are getting a great deal. You get the product and a few more products and a few more still. It is like dangling multiple carrots in front of rabbits.

So, what can we take from all of these approaches? The answer is very simple. The strategy works. This is proven by the simple fact that you see the strategy used over and over and over.

Defining your goals with a promotional campaign is vital. Figure out what you specifically want potential customers to do. Then, and only then, go ahead and pick incentives and create marketing materials to accomplish it.

Okay, so what is your incentive going to be? If you have an outdoor lifestyle company, give them a Nomad Hiking Journal customized with your company name on it.

When it comes to promotional incentives, the more creative you can be, the better. Define your goal and continually tweak your approach to get the best possible result. Promotional incentives have always worked and your business will be no different.
