Getting Out -The Information Loop

Internet Business March 28th, 2008 Say Something (0)

This is something I saw being discussed today by some Internet Marketers. It’s regarding the moment you realize that you know enough. A lot of people get into a trap or “loop” of buying eBook after ebook and course after course looking for the magic formula to success.

I honestly believe some of it stems from laziness. We think this online stuff should be easy… So we search in vain for the easy formula.

How to Enter a Forum

IM Basics March 25th, 2008 Say Something (1)

That sounds silly doesn’t it? Why would I have to learn how to enter a forum? I just sign up and post right? It would seem on the surface to be that easy, but I see a lot of people have a real hard time…

Over time forums create a very tight community. Everyone learns the rules and looks out for each other… That’s the first thing… Read the rules. Different forums approach how you display links differently or even what you can talk about… The other thing is don’t come in gang busters!! Don’t try to prove yourself and get to excited about showing everyone your knowledge etc…. Get to know the community first.

eZine Advertising

IM Basics March 23rd, 2008 Say Something (0)

I know others have had success with it… eZines have become very popular and if it’s a decent size list, niched, relevant to your product, why wouldn’t you be successful at it? You have more control. You know what your audience will be.

Ezines are especially a good thing if you can write an article for an eZine. You establish your expertise and create interest within the article and have a link to your site or product… I like the sites that send out their eZines and post your article on their site (with a link back to your website)… best of both worlds. WebProNew.com does this.

Like anything there is going to be a lot of factors involved… Volume, Quality of the content, how qualified the list is (hopefully an opt in crowd)… not everyone will produce. It’s text, it’s relevant and targeting a group of people who have interest in what you’re doing.

There are places like FreeZineWeb and SwapEzineAds.com where you can track down an eZine related to your product and contact the publisher…

You know you can certainly pay to advertise in eZines, but I personally love FREE advertising. And doing a Joint Venture with someone that has something like an eZine is a perfect way to do it.

You can create an eBook or Report targeted to an eZines readers. To give away! There are a lot of eZine publishers that would love to do that. Why wouldn’t they want to give their subscribers something free. It’s a great reflection on themselves.

That’s how a lot of people build their e-mail lists. They swap advertising or put together mutually beneficial deals.

There’s very little investment… just a little effort.

Here’s a good article I found about Joint Ventures that somes it up nicely…

50 Benefits of Joint Venture Marketing…

I just know from my research it’s a great method used by many. I wish I had more time to pursue it… I can’t do everything.

Affiliate Marketing March 13th, 2008 Say Something (0)

I came across UberAffiliate.com some time ago and really found the information he presented very useful. He does the work to be a super affiliate and has uses his blog to help others. I think just recently affspy.com came out, actually it is in beta right now and does a whole lot for being a free tool. All I could do was sign up and wait. After you sign up, there is a link to check out the blog (of course) and I found this interview done by Wes Mahler with Tracking202.com, which is a company based in San Francisco, Ca (like 45 min from my home town) that does PPC affiliate marketing analytics. Well check out the quick interview below, it has great tips for people just starting out…
