Little Johnny and Susie were only 10 years old, but they just knew that they were in love.

One day they decided that they wanted to get married, so Johnny went to Susie's father to ask him for her hand.

Johnny bravely walked up to him and said "Mr. Smith, me and Susie are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."

Thinking that this was the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replied, "Well Johnny, you are only 10. Where will you two live?"

Without even taking a moment to think about it, Johnny replied "In Susie's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely."

Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith said with a huge grin, "Okay then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Susie."

Again, Johnny instantly replied, "Our allowance... Susie makes 5 bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month, and that'll do us just fine."

By this time Mr. Smith was a little shocked that Johnny had put so much thought into this. So, he thought for a moment trying to come up with something that Johnny wouldn't have an answer for.

After a second, Mr. Smith said, "Well Johnny, it seems like you have got everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?"

Johnny just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, we've been lucky so far..."​

They both ran home and the little boy asked his father what his penis was and dad answered, "thats your truck, try to park it in as many garages as you can." The little girl asked her mother the same question and her mother said, "that's your garage. Don't let any boy park his truck there." So the next day the little girl comes running home yelling "mommy, mommy, a boy tried to park his truck in my garage so i knocked his wheels off!"

A Russian is strolling down the street in Moscow and kicks a bottle laying in the street. Suddenly out of the bottle comes a Genie. The Russian is stunned and the Genie says, "Hello master, I will grant you one wish, anything you want." The Russian begins thinking, "Well, I really like drinking vodka."
Finally the Russian says, "I wish to drink vodka whenever I want, so make me piss vodka." The Genie grants him his wish. When the Russian gets home he gets a glass out of the cupboard and pisses in it. He looks and the glass and it's clear. Looks like vodka. Then he smells the liquid. Smells like vodka. So he takes a taste and it is the best vodka he has ever tasted.
The Russian yells to his wife, "Natasha, Natasha, come quickly!" She comes running down the hall and the Russian takes another glass out of the cupboard and pisses into it. He tells her to drink, it is vodka Natasha is reluctant but goes ahead and takes a sip. It is the best vodka she has ever tasted. The two drink and party all night.
This goes on for the next few nights. Finally Friday night comes and the Russian comes home and tells his wife, "Natasha grab one glass from the cupboard and we will drink vodka." His wife gets the glass from the cupboard and sets it on the table. The Russian begins to piss in the glass and when he fills it his wife asks him, "But Boris, why do we need only one glass?" Boris raises the glass and says, "Because tonight my love, you drink from the bottle."​
 
There was a fellow talking to his buddy one day. The fellow said, "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I'm stumped." His buddy said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled!" So, the first fellow did just that. The next day his buddy asked, "Well, did you take my suggestion? How'd it turn out?" "She loved it. She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling, 'I'll see you in two hours'!"​
 
A nun gets on a bus and sits behind the driver. She says to the bus driver she needs someone to talk to. She lives in a convent and wants to experience sex before she dies. The bus driver agrees but the nun explains she can't have sex with a married man because it would be a sin. The bus driver says no problem, he's not married.. The nun says she also has to die a virgin, so she has to take it in the ass. The bus driver agrees again and being the only two people on the bus they go in the back and take care of business. When they were done and he had resumed driving the bus driver said, Sister, I have a confession to make, I'm married and have three kid's." The nun replied, "That's O.K. I have a confession too. My name is Bruce and I'm on my way to a costume party.
 
Two guys immigrate to America. On their first day off the boat they are wandering around New York City seeing the sights. As lunch time approaches they decide they are hungry. They then come up to a street vendor selling hot dogs. One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God - They eat dogs in America?"
"I can't believe it!" says the other, equally appalled.
"Well," says the first, "we're going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."
They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, please." The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants sit on a park bench to eat their lunch. One looks inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his partner and says, "Uh, which part of the dog did you get?"​
 
Two deaf people get married. During the first week of marriage, they find that they are unable to communicate in the bedroom when they turn off the lights because they can't see each other using sign language. After several nights of fumbling around and misunderstandings, the wife decides to find a solution. "Honey," she signs, "Why don't we agree on some simple signals? For instance, at night, if you want to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze my left breast one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and squeeze my right breast one time." The husband thinks this is a great idea and signs back to his wife, "Great idea, Now if you want to have sex with ME, reach over and pull on my penis one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and pull on my penis......fifty times."
 
A bus stops and two obviously Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:
"Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I pee twice. Then I come once more."
"You foul-mouthed wop swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, cool down lady," said the man. "I was only tellin' my friend here how to spell Mississippi."​
 
A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day carrying a bag of money. She insists that she must speak with the President of the bank to open a savings account because it's a lot of money. They finally get her into the presidents office and he asks her how much she would like to deposit. She says she has $165,000 and then dumps it out of the bag onto his desk. The president was surprised and of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asks her. The old lad says, "I make bets". The president replies, "Bets? What kind of bets?" and she says, "for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square". "Ha!" says the president, "That's a stupid bet, you can never win that kind of bet". The old lady says,"So, would you like to take my bet?" "Sure," says the president, "I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!" The little old lady says "OK, but since there is a lot of money involved is it OK with you if I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 AM to witness?" "Sure" says the president. That night the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again, thouroughly checking them out until he was sure that there is no way his balls are square and that he will win the bet. THe next morning at 10 AM the little old lady appears with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduces the lawyer to the president and repeats the bet, that $25,000 says the president's balls are square. The president agrees with the bet again and the old lady asks him to drop his pants so they can see. The president does this. THe little old lady looks closely at his balls and then asks if she can feel them. "Well, OK" says the president, $25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure". Then he notices that the lawyer is quietly banging his head against the wall and he asks the old lady , "What is wrong with your lawyer?" She replies, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that by 10 AM today I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hands!"
 
"If you don’t network, you don’t get work." - Unknown

How powerful is your network? What would happen if you got fired today? What would happen if you had to fold your business and declare bankruptcy? What would happen if a loved one needed emergency medical surgery not covered by insurance and it was a matter of life and death? How many people in your network would be able to really help you out when the going gets tough? Would you be able to pick up the phone, call up one of your contacts, and get a decent job referral or have them lend you some money to tie you over?

This might sound like too serious and morbid a topic to even think about during the holiday season, but let’s face it – many employers wait until after the holidays to break the bad news, and many businesses fold after a bad holiday shopping season. So if you haven’t asked yourself this question, now is a good time to ask and honestly answer the question.

Do you think that someone you haven’t called in months, maybe years, is going to open up their wallet or rolodex and help you out of the kindness of their heart. Maybe. And that’s a BIG maybe. But in all likelihood, I think not. In fact, it would be insulting to the person and demeaning to you, that you never bothered to stay in touch, and are only calling to hit them up for some money. In some cases, people do have the financial and/or human resources to help out but it’s more likely they will help out someone they know and trust over a stranger.

Networking is not about handing out and collecting business cards. It’s about developing relationships. It’s about picking up the phone and calling people and staying in touch with them. Do something nice for someone in your network. Refer them a lead for their business. Offer to help them out on a project or to lend a helping hand if they’re moving. They’ll remember you for it.

Stay in touch! And for heaven’s sake, if someone gives YOU a lead, follow up right away!! Life is too short and fragile. I remember getting a good lead from someone in regards to contacting the legendary Canadian author, Pierre Berton, who wrote 50 books in 50 years, and won three Governor-General’s Awards and 14 honorary degrees. I kept putting it off, and putting it off, thinking I had all the time in the world, and eventually the lead got filed away somewhere and I forgot about it. Mr. Berton died recently at the age of 84 at Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto of complications from diabetes and heart disease. Canada is at a loss. I most certainly am at a loss.
 
We all know that traffic is the most essential thing for a successful Internet business company. There are a lot of reliable ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, though most of them would cost some money. In this article I'd like to tell you about my favorite web promotion tactics, which wouldn't cost you a single cent. Moreover, some of them will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The first tactic alone can generate you over $2,000 equivalent of free targeted traffic.

Well, here are the seven surefire technics capable of skyrocketing your traffic starting from today.

1) Free Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising That Works

The Adwords by Google, Yahoo's Overture and many other PPC search engines provide great sources of targeted Internet. They are very truly popular among web marketers. However, as the PPC search engine managers wish to expand their customer base so they need to convince people like you that pay per click advertising really works.

Here are the good news, there are dozens of PPC search engines who will give you up to $100 in free credits to prove that pay per click advertising will work for you. To claim your credits all you need do is visit the various engines and web directories and sign-up. There are no catches and it won't cost you anything except your time.

It couldn't be simpler to obtain such free PPC advertising. The table at this page: http://www.affiliated-business.com/promotion/Pay-Per-Click5.html lists over 60 Pay Per Click Search Engines offering in excess of $2,000 of free web promotion credits. One after another select the PPC search engines form the list, click on the links to open the corresponding sign-up pages and sign up for your free adverising accounts.

2) Use Profitable Keywords Or Keyword Niches For Your Site's Content

Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword rankings to give away relevant search results. If you'd like your site to appear at the top lines of search engine results, you must use proper keywords and keyword phrases.

Try to employ the most profitable (of higher demand) keywords at your site content. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you. If you're writing content on yourself you have to make it more entertaining as well as informative.

In doing so, you can get high rankings in search engine results and strong incoming traffic without any costs.

3) Exchange Links With Partner Sites

Another great idea is trading links with partner (or even competitor) sites. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Exchanging or trading links with other sites, both of them could benefit. When one site features another sites link, they will provide one another with the traffic they both generate.

The efforts are doubly beneficial because it seems like both sides are working to generate doubly enhanced traffic. The more links exchanged with more sites the more traffic could be expected.

And again, you don't have to spend a cent. All you have to do is to communicate to another webmaster and to reach with him an agreement.

4) Write Articles And Publish Them Across The Internet

There are a lot of sites that offer free submission and posting of your articles. You'd better to s ubmit articles to sites containing the same subject that your site deals in. If you sell computers write press releases and articles about computers and computer parts. Try to provide helpful tips guides and good advice. Writing articles that contain good service and knowledge would bring the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

When people find in your article something of interest, you have good chances of following the track by finding out where the article originated. It lasts for you just to a ttach a brief description of your site or service at the end of the article and to include a link.

5) Join Forums, Blogs And Other Online Communities

You can take advantage of online forums, blogs and web communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the goodsor services that you represent or offer.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. You must capture the market niche you represent and show your expertise and credibility. When you created a good foundation for your site, people will trust you and your web business. Your customers will pass on their trust and credibility to many people all over the Internet. Traffic will certainly increase because they know that you can provide what they need.

6) Offer Newsletters Or eZines

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting useful articles. If your texts are really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be willing to visit your site. So, if you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you growing your traffic.

7) Use Advantages Of Viral Marketing

Viral marketing is a promotional method that allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs. All it takes is to bring a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story; many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many web projects are advertised by using scandals and rumors to make them more popular.

Also you can provide your web site visitors with content they wouldn't read anywhere else. People will stay longer at your web site to read the original content. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the website content and they will pass it on to many people.

Each of the above mentioned methods can drive streams of free traffic to your website. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the techniques depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.
 
For B2B marketers e-mail marketing is one of the most successful tools for generating great results at the quickest possible time. Not only does it help you reach the targeted people at lower cost, but you can also reach millions of potential customers in minutes. Accordingly, your e-mail marketing strategy must be an integral part of the overall marketing strategy of your organization. As you intend to sell your products or services to other businesses, you need to adopt an aggressive marketing strategy to ensure that you are ahead of your competitors. The design of the newsletter used in your email marketing campaign should reflect the corporate image of your organization. It should also create a distinct identity of your products and business. The content of your newsletter should engage the readers by providing them well-defined and product-specific information in order to convert them into sales opportunities. At the initial stage of the buying process, buyers conduct extensive online research about the different offerings available in the marketplace. The contents of your email marketing campaign should have simple terms and an easy-to-follow description so that buyers can learn about your products or services by reading the content. A lucid and compelling content will convert prospective customers into sales and help you stay ahead in the business. To enhance the look and feel of your newsletter you can seek professional help from agencies offering email marketing service.

When you offer a newsletter as a means for internet marketing email, you must ensure that it is nothing but a “newsletter”. B2B marketers often send e-mail advertising in the name of newsletter. If a subscriber finds an ad for a product in the inbox without reference to any context, the mail find its way to the trash. The subscriber might unsubscribe from your newsletter as well. B2B marketers often send bulk email as a way to mass email marketing of their products or services. Recipients of such mails respond by spam filtering and blocking the addresses, eventually restricting your marketing efforts. To avoid these situations it is useful to take recourse to opt-in email marketing and permission email marketing. Whenever an owner of an email address explicitly requests for your newsletter by providing his address to be used for the purpose, you include it in your opt-in mailing list. If a customer requests for the current catalogue of products by sending a request, you can add him to the list of customers whom you will send a copy of the current catalogue. You must ensure that such a list should be for once, and should be limited to the current catalogue only. Any list used for opt-in email marketing should not be used for sending spam. However, you may ask anyone, requesting for your current catalogue, if they want to continue receiving your latest catalogue, and maintain their data in your mailing list after obtaining explicit permission to do so. This list can be then used for permission email marketing. You can keep sending them bulk mails.

To be a successful B2B marketer in today’s global market place, you need to have your computer and communication systems attuned to the most advanced technologies. Even if you design your email marketing campaign with excellent contents and design, your efforts may not bring the desired results if you fail to measure the responses or track the various actions. Often B2B marketers start their email-advertising program in a big way, but eventually end up losing the battle for their inability to implement advanced email delivery system, or to track the mails and generate reports. To get rid of such situations it is often necessary that you have professionals, who can implement result oriented email marketing solution, working for you. However, in order to cut down on the operating costs of employing and retaining technical staffs, you can also seek for email marketing consultancy services from organizations specializing in email marketing solution. There are many organizations which offer customized email marketing software to help you realize greater results for your email marketing campaigns. Professional email marketing solutions are fast, reliable, and powerful and helps you beat your competitors in the business. Advanced email marketing software and list management tools, coupled with brilliant designs and contents can bring spectacular results to your email marketing campaigns.

E-mail advertising is often seen as an intruder into privacy. We regularly find junk mails, spams or unwanted mails from unknown senders landing into our inboxes. Therefore, it has become a practice to delete all such mails without even opening them. Many people even go further and block the IP address or activate spam filtering. Innocent B2B marketers also fall victim to spam filtering and blocking, which, in turn, spoil all your email advertising and email marketing efforts. To get rid of these you must ensure that your email is not on any blackhole lists. Also you need to have a strict anti-spam policy and quickly act when a spamming report shows up. If you have an external email marketing service provider that is also host to another email "marketer" that sends spam, there are high chances that your e-mails are being blocked, as spam coming from a provider will be blocked as a whole, including all the innocent marketers. Therefore, you must ensure that your email marketing service provider does not provide service to any spammer.

For becoming a successful B2B marketer your primary focus should be on your internet marketing strategies. You must devise your internet marketing email in such a way that your return on investment (ROI) increases and it also helps in improving your bottom line. You need to ensure that all the aspects of the process are next to none, be it the design of your email newsletter, the contents or the email delivery system and analysis of data. Whether you use direct email marketing or bulk email marketing; whether it is opt-in email marketing or email advertising, you must ascertain that you have done proper research about the targeted section of your recipients to make sure that your email marketing campaigns are designed to be distinctive and complete.
 
Are you constantly being told over and over and OVER again that your writing has to be professional in order to look good in front of others and gain the respects of your peers? That being logical and professional is the best way to sell? With internet marketing, this false!

Only when writing fictional stories were you allowed using emotions to captivate our readers. Most of use were led to believe that writing emotional or ‘unprofessional’ copy in our essays and reports is reserved for children or the ‘unsophisticated’.

They told us that the superior way to write anything is to state facts and back it up with logic and confusing language. Emotional writing is manipulative and insincere. Using that to sell is selfish and total garbage.

That’s what the academia society led you to believe, but I’m here to set you free. This kind of thinking is totally false if you want to be successful in internet marketing! A lot of people don’t see the good side of selling.

What if your information product saves marriages? Or what if your product helps people become financially free? Or what if people bought your product and their dog no longer pees and poops on your expensive carpet?

By using your reader’s emotions in your sales letter, you will much more likely motivate them into action than by using logic and professionalism alone. In that sense, ‘playing’ to people’s emotions is actually good for their well-being! Buy my product and I’ll give you strategies to financial freedom. You get the idea? Good.

You maybe looking good and gaining respect of your readers ‘Mr. Professional’, but you AIN’T gonna make no money! Professionalism and logic doesn’t bring out emotions. And it’s emotions that sell and make money.

Try out this test:

1. Go to any corporate building during lunch time and as soon as you see all the ‘professional’ workers leave for lunch,

2. Put out a dozen delicious doughnuts made by Krispy Kreme, chocolate chip ice cream, and cookies on the right side and on the left side, put a dozen healthy fruits and vegetables.

3. Guess which side most people will go for?

Logically, those professional workers should eat those healthful veggies! With all those B-vitamins and folic acid that will lengthen your life? How can they possibly resist?!?

But most of the time people will chose the fattening, artery clogging, fried doughnuts! The illogical emotion of satisfying your taste buds dominates your logical side of satisfying your personal health (for most people)!

Imagine back when you were reading those bland 500 page text books in high school that stacked fact after boring fact for you to memorize as if you were a robot? It was probably very professional but it probably bored you to tears also.

If that’s what you think sells, you are going to face big trouble with internet marketing. Emotional content will ‘get through’ to your customers and communicate more clearly how they will benefit.

Bottom line is if you want to improve people’s lives with your product and want to make money online, emotional content is dramatically more effective than pure logical content.

So go to a local university, find an English professor who absolutely loves reading boring confusing books like “The Odyssey Of Homer” and have him review your marketing messages.

If professor LOVED your messages and think that they are works of pure genius – that is a good indicator that your content is overly boring and professional. You must change your messages IMMEDIATELY before your customers exits your website and opts out of your list!
 
If you want to hit the mark of success in your marketing efforts, then you have to be sharply focused on what you're selling and to whom. Like a double-edged sword if you like.

Let's use the business opportunity niche as an example.

Business opportunities are a dime a dozen. What sets yours apart from the crowd? Why would anyone or I want to join?

This is called your unique selling point. The question is, do you have one?

This is what you must promote to get the success you desire.

It could be a product feature, a superior level of support service, a product's versatility, an aspect of your guarantee or something that's original about the opportunity. If you're not sure what your unique selling point is, then brainstorm with your mentors and peers to identify it.

If you don't have one, then go back to the drawing board.

Create one if it's your own product. If it's not, then talk to the owner of the product with a suggestion or two.

This in itself is an opportunity. Alternatively you could market it with additional products or services to make it unique.

The other edge to your marketing sword is your target market.

You must drill down to where the buyers are. If you use email marketing then make sure they are optin for business opportunities and not something else. If you advertise in ezines, then make sure the ezine is focused on business opportunities.

If you use adsense then you can get an income by carefully selected keywords. If you are an affiliate marketer then make sure your landing page is optimized with keywords.

This combination can either promote your product's unique selling point to your targeted niche market or it sends targeted traffic to see your product focusing on its unique selling point, depending on which form of marketing you use.

Experiment with all forms of marketing and track the results to find out where you are getting the best results.

Remember if you are buying traffic "hits", they are not necessarily targeted to your niche. 100 targeted visitors to your site may be of much greater than a million hits from all the extremities of the web. So pay close attention to where they originate.

If they're good quality make sure you capture them with an optin offer to your mailing list, then treat them like gold. Give them quality content in your emails and not just continual pressure to buy your products. Don't send too many emails on a regular basis and never give their address to anyone else. Ask yourself would you want to receive the emails you send or would you opt out?
 
The reason the internet was created was to share information. People still use the internet to share information or to find out information. And what is information? Information is content - so, content is king.

There are two ways to gather information on the internet. One way is free and the other way is paid information. Whatever you offer on the internet is done with information, whether you are talking about the value of your site, or your product.

Your selling price for information, or content, is determined by the person that is seeking your information. In other words, how much is a person willing to pay for the information that you have? How much it costs to put together the information does not show you the value. The value only comes through the people that are willing to buy.

For example, if I sent you an e-mail and I said that I had a link to some valuable resources that you would be interested in, would it be worth a few dollars to know the information now or would you rather spend a lot of time finding it for yourself?

With hard products the value is determined by the cost to create and manufacture this product. For example, if you were selling golf clubs the price would be determined by how much it costs to manufacture them plus any overhead costs and shipping.

Some people in the internet have membership sites which charge a monthly fee simply to be informed about new resources on the internet. The reason it is a value to the members is because it saves time. Most information you can find available for free. The value comes into play because it saves you so much time and effort on your part. What is your time worth?

What does it cost to go to college today? What are you getting from a college education? What are you actually getting for your money?

A college education is the passing of information (content) from one person to another.

Now you can be a college of your niche or topic. Now you can give your students, visitors, subscribers and your customers valuable information they need and charge them accordingly. With good content you can earn money. For example, if you have a web site or a blog you can have paid advertising and therefore you can earn money with free content. Web sites, blogs, newsletters, press releases and free reports can all be used to generate traffic which means you have a following and a subscriber base.

With good information, content, you can actually make money selling your own or other people's products. For example, e-books, ecourses, and even teleseminars. The nature of the internet shows that a web site should provide the visitors with information. The better the information, the more money you can charge for it. Your web site can be one page or it can have multiple pages. You can set up a one page web site by using one article, several articles or even a sales letter.

If you want visitors to come to your web site, give them great information. If they want additional information you can exchange the information for the subscriber’s name and e-mail address. And for those that want even more information they can purchase this information from you. Just make sure you are giving them great information that they can use so they will come back time and time again.

When you promote your web site make sure you provide information that is interesting to the reader and makes them want more. For an example, use articles, press releases and free reports - just make sure it's good information or entertaining content.

If you want the search engine spiders to be interested in your web site make sure the information that you're giving is interesting and relevant to your topic or niche. This is very important.

Fresh content will give visitors a reason to return to your site plus it'll keep the search engine spiders interested in your site. You want both to keep coming back.

People will start out visiting your site as a visitor or prospect, then they will become subscribers and customers, and if they really like you they will tell others about your web site, blog, newsletter or e-zine. When people really like the information that you're providing for them they will start promoting you. Now you have a viral affect going on. This is a good thing. The more people sharing your information around, the more visitors and traffic you will get.

The better your content, the more valuable your content is in many ways
 
There are many ways to create your affiliate links. There are surefire ways, but sometimes you may not be lucky enough to experience some instances, like when you see a ClickBank product that you think will be perfect to use on your website, then you add it and find out that nothing happens. You should watch to see if your newsletter’s links are still active and running properly. If you find out that nobody is using them, you should take action because it will only cost you sales, which will affect your budget.

Something else you should be certain of is including the correct URL of your page in the emails that you are sending. If your prospects become interested, but can't find your page, your efforts will be useless. It's discouraging when you need to send out a PayPal payment link but then your email program cuts it into half. You may want to set up a limited time offer easily and quickly, but you just can’t. These are the common problems that you might have experienced or will be experiencing.

With all these problems, there is now a great and fast solution. Using a Link Management system such as ActiveLinker could be the solution to all your problems. A link management system will help you manage your links properly and usefully.

ActiveLinker will allow you to easily make transactions and affiliate your links successfully. Everyone knows that ClickBank links can be easily pirated and it can be done by anyone who has interest in doing so. With ActiveLinker, you can create a link that is capable of hiding your affiliate name and the name of your product so that people can click on it and you get your due commissions.

Those chopped newsletter links that give you a hard time will be gone forever with ActiveLinker. You can now store in it each link and use the special short link right in your newsletter. In this way, you will not have to worry about your links being cut off. They will always work.

If you give your customers an offer, always give them an ActiveLinker link. Take note that it should point to the link of your sales page. This is something you should take seriously and check consistently. Some links may not work and you will lose a lot. If you encounter some problems, you can easily change its destination and your ActiveLinker will work.

The great thing about the ActiveLinker link management system is that it can allow you to store even the longest links, including PayPal order links. This is essential because you can easily pass and create valid links in your emails. Sometimes email links do not work, which lead the customers to dealing with other links. Don’t let these things happen to you. You need to make sure that your links are valid, working and pointing toward the right link.

Sometimes links are not created properly, which causes them to link to the wrong path. If this happens, when the offer is over, you can easily change the link and automatically send traffic to another page without the hassle. This is the type of convenience a linker should offer. With these strategies, you will be able to successfully create your affiliate links in no time.

ActiveLinker manages your links to other webpages and saves them for future use. It gives you a shorter link that clearly represents the URL, while hiding the destination if you choose and shortening your link for easy reference.

There are a lot of ways to affiliate your links. Like ActiveLinker, tinyurl.com also performs the same task. Although they perform similarly, there is one important difference that only ActiveLiker can give and that is giving you the responsibility to run it. The program is on your site; therefore, you take control of your links.

Now this will surely help you in properly managing your links. Make sure your links don’t lead to nowhere because you pay for it. Make sure that your links are not pirated and used for illegal activities that will create a mess for your site.
 
If you have been around Internet Marketing anytime at the one phrase you have heard more than any is “The Money is in the List” I am absolutely shocked at the number of would be marketers that still don’t get this concept. It is the foundation for all successful online businesses.

List Building is one of the most profitable techniques in Internet Marketing. Its effectiveness lies in the fact that you are going to keep in touch with the customer for a considerably longer amount of time and that means more sales and more profit!

So how do you go about building a huge email list of hot, qualified buyers quickly and easily without a hassle and without spending lots of money??

Have you ever thought of using audio on your website? It’s really easy to produce and it creates a bond with your visitors and customers in a way that a written message most probably won’t…

One of the best ways to build a huge list and massively grow it is to simply interview an expert or let someone interview you if you’ve already established yourself as an expert and then put the audio up on your site.

And now all you have to do is send traffic to your website and start building your list…

You could also Sweeten the deal even more to increase the number of people who are willing to give you their email address by offering lots of free stuff like reports, e-books etc.

The bottom line is, if you are serious about doing business online, developing your list is MANDATORY for success. This is not debatable. So when are you going to get serious and get started? The reason there is such a fuzz about list building and you hear such much about it is internet marketing pros, know that without a list, you don’t have a snowballs chance in Florida of making it!
 
Get visits for our Web site is something really complicated, and simultaneously is very important.

Several forms exist to get new visits day after day, using our talent and the resources that Internet offers us.

One of my favourites forms is to create articles with interesting content and related to the site, this way, if the person that is reading finds it interesting is probable that visit our Web site to continue reading our material

The good thing is when the article is really good and has a correct content and who is reading it want to visit our site

I recently started to write articles. After publishing only 5 articles, about 1 week later, i notice that my traffic increased a 40%, approximately 5,000 new visits this week.

This number is really good for me, and it was received only with 5 published articles, imagine with 50 or 100 :). It was more that I got with other Internet Resources like Google Adwords, and most important it was free and easy.

Previously I invested too much money in Google Adwords and other PPC, receiving targeted traffic, but leaving little profits, for that reason I decided to start to publish articles related to my Web site and try to catch the greater amount of visitors really interested in the content of my Web site.

With Google Adwords (another method very used in Internet to get visits) I spent hundreds of dollars, and obtained some sales to my affiliates programs. Luckily, my investment was paid with the income that it obtained by those sales, but did not get too many extra income.

At the present, Im using Google Adsense like extra method of get incomes with my Web sites, leaving me very good results, since during months I ordered, downloaded and to read hundreds of ebooks related with it.

I recommend to all that is starting with Internet Business, read all related articles and ebooks, to know what do and what don’t do.

Some days ago I published my new blog, “Ways Of Make Money”, where you will find a summary of 200 articles related with Internet Marketing, Email Marketing, List Building, Traffic Building, PPC, Google Adsense, Affiliates Programs and much more.
 
Introduction

So you want to be an internet marketer?

Then read this public health and safety announcement of do’s and don’ts.

General Advice

DO: Believe the hype.

There are 1000’s who make a very comfortable living from internet marketing, it’s not all scams and fraudsters.

DON’T: Expect it to be easy.

Making money online is just like any other business; if you are going to progress then expect to work long and hard.

DO: Join a forum.

The first port of call for any novice marketer should be joining a forum; there are tonnes of excellent ones brimming with experts willing to give you free advice.

DON’T: Believe everything you read.

Not everyone is an expert although they’ll have you believe otherwise with apparently vast quantities of knowledge. Proceed with caution!

DO: Your research.

Nothing but nothing equates to your own hands on experience, take time to try things out for yourself and learn from your successes and failures.

DON’T: Be easily parted from your cash.

Common sense is not that common anymore; if it’s too good to be true then it normally is. Use your forum to find out if anyone else has tried before you buy.

Linking & SEO

DO: Link exchange.

If you’ve got the resources on your website then share and share a like. You can build strong business relationships with those you swap links with. Be sure you choose linking partners sensibly.

DON’T: Automate link exchange.

The links are crap and irrelevant; you know it, I know it and the search engines know it!

DO: Aim high!

A number 1 in Google is the holy grail of the website owner, research your keywords in-depth and remember it takes time.

DON’T: Spend a tonne on advertising.

Unless you really know what you are doing you could be pouring money down the drain. Invest a little here and there and find out what works best. Someone may make a killing with Adwords – that doesn’t mean YOU will.

Making Money

DO: Get an Adsense account.

Although It may take a while before you start making decent money --> Sit at home in front of your computer / working in the coal mines; hmmm… It’s NOT DEAD!

DON’T: Make promises you can’t keep.

If you’re selling something online then an unhappy customer will tell more people than a happy one. Make sure the customer knows EXACTLY what they are getting and don’t make outrageous claims unless they are 100% TRUE!

DO: Join eBay

It’s still the quickest and easiest way to get money into your Paypal account. It can be used as an effective marketing tool as well!

DON’T: Multi-Level Market

Unless you know exactly what it is and how to work it; many pyramid schemes front as not so illegal MLM schemes. As the two trades are fairly similar anyway, it’s always the top man the makes the money.

Traffic and list building

DO: Start list building immediately.

Give away a free eBook or start a newsletter; again this takes time but wouldn’t you like to have the e-mail addresses of a thousand or so potential customers?

DON’T: Buy a list.

It’s moronic!

DO: Research targeted traffic.

Spend time finding out how to get good targeted traffic to your website, remember it’s quality and not quantity. And so we’re clear; quality traffic is traffic with the intention to buy.

DON’T: Buy traffic.

This is also moronic. I have yet to hear anyone say otherwise, bar those that sell traffic – coincidental!

Final Thought

DO: Make lemon cider.

When life gives you lemons; there’s a far greater profit margin.

DON’T: Be afraid to be different.

Drinking your lemon cider may give your some “insightful” views on innovating tried and true techniques. It’s your duty to STAND OUT!

T's & C's

DO: post this on your website or blog, e-mail it to a list or add it to an e-book. Use it to list build, save it to your desktop and get it tattooed to your eyelids.

DON’T: Modify the content in anyway. Feel free to give it away to as many people as you like but be sure to keep the whole article including the terms, links and authors bio intact.
