Ask Yourself One Question! Can I Make Money With Affiliate Marketing?

By Robert Clever on February 21, 2023 in Blog

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in Affiliate Marketing or you’re looking for other ways to make money online, I know you’ve been exploring the internet for businesses. You can only find this series there. I imagine you have found a few that appeal to you now that we agree you have been looking for an opportunity.

When you look around for more than a few hours, you realize some tall promises about making huge money by clicking a few buttons and turning your computer into a cash-generating machine. Well, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it and nobody would be telling you how you could do it; they would keep the secret to themselves. If that were the case, then why are so many people making claims, selling them, or otherwise getting those ideas to you?

I want to let you know that, you, my fine Affiliate Marketing friend, are the reason those ads are out there. You, as the customer, must buy into those various different ideas and then pay for them. As we go through this series, we will look at the various different opportunities that exist on the internet and see what you think you can do to make some money doing what the seller is selling.

It is your belief that you too could make some money doing whatever it is the seller is selling. As a beginner in internet marketing, I don’t claim to be an expert on everything; however, I will share with you some of the things that have guided me on my journey.

However, before we can do anything, I need you to ask yourself one very important question. The answer to this question will determine everything you do online. It comes before you determine what type of business you might be looking for, before you make a business plan, before you get money for your business before you get a website before you pick a business name; even before breakfast!

The question is:

Do you want to make money on the Internet because you want or need money? But that’s not enough! Why do you need money? Buying something? Getting out of debt? Getting a house, a car, a trip? Do you just want to be stinkin’ rich? If you don’t have a “why”, you might as well just give up right now, send me $20, and move on. The internet isn’t the place for you.

I know, that sounds pretty crass! Well, it is; but, it’s the truth. If you have been at this for more than an hour, you know by now, you won’t make money quickly! It’s sales hype. If you don’t have a “why” etched in stone and tattooed on your forehead or painted on the wall in front of you, you WILL fail! That I can guarantee you.

If you want a business to work, you have to be determined, whether you’re in the real world or online. On the internet, it’s easy to get distracted, discouraged, derailed, etc. There must be a “why” that is unique to you and your situation and that drives you.

If you get a good enough “why” you can succeed online or anywhere for that matter. I will show you the ropes in future installments. During this time, I want you to take out a piece of paper and a writing tool and write down all the reasons “why” you want to make money online. Be specific! Next time, we’ll have a quiz! It’s a really personal experience for you. Get some real reasons down on paper and be completely honest with yourself.

For me, I was tired of asking to go o vacation. Or not having enough money to go on vacation, I need to be my own boss and wake up when I wanted to not when I had to. That is my “Why”

I found my why. You MUST find yours.

Stone Evans; known as The Home-Biz Guy around the internet, says you must have three intangibles if you are to be successful. The first is “why”, which we covered above, next is:

“You must BELIEVE that it is possible.”

“If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to make money with affiliate programs or make your living on the Internet, you won’t. It’s that simple.”

“Realizing it was possible was just a matter of realizing that people were ALREADY making great money online. If they were doing it, so could I. It was just a matter of adapting what they were doing to my situation.”

People (millions of them) are making money online with affiliate programs without a doubt. Just do some research online and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. You will also find the same documented evidence in your local bookstore. You can make money online with affiliate programs becoming easier and easier.

“Affiliate marketing” is the job of the future, I’ve always said. In the “old” days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position, and hope for the best. Now you can just apply for an affiliate program with any company, and you’re off and running. Affiliate programs are the new working class. You can make a lot of money online or earn a living with affiliate programs.

Affiliate marketing is the “job” of the future that’s already here TODAY.

The last intangible you MUST have is:

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim… In order to succeed with affiliate marketing, you MUST adopt this operating philosophy.

In most cases, people prefer to aim before firing. The Internet is a moving target… It is only change that is constant. You need to stop analyzing the game and just jump into it. It is impossible to learn from the outside… You must be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

I call this “Making the Leap.” This is what I mean when I say you can never really be ready to start an affiliate marketing business. You simply have to do it.

The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is very small. In the “brick and mortar” world, you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. In order to start a successful offline business, you usually have to invest thousands of dollars. However, you can usually get started on the Internet for less than $100.

Get IN THE GAME… Each moment you stay “out there,” you’re wasting valuable time you could be learning the skills necessary to become an affiliate marketer. Make the leap to becoming an affiliate marketer today! If you’re not in the game yet, you’re already behind the times.

Let me help you get started if you have little funds to invest, how about a free website with built in affiliate programs, you can start for as little as 10 bucks the cost of a domain name. It’s all set up for you to profit out of the gate. Perfect for beginners. Take that leap…

3 Simple Steps For Newbies To Start In Affiliate Marketing

By Robert Clever on February 21, 2023 in Blog

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and an affiliate, in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant’s website.

There’s a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant gets to advertise his products for free to a larger market, increasing his sales. The more hardworking affiliates he gets, the more sales he gets.

Getting affiliates to market his stuff saves him time, money, and effort. This way, the merchant leverages his chances of earning when a client clicks on the link from an affiliate website and buys the product, recommends it to others looking for it, or buys it again.

The affiliate marketer, on the other hand, gets paid for every person who clicks on his link and buys the merchant’s product or service. Affiliates usually get paid per sale, which can be a fixed percentage or amount. The best part is that they don’t charge you a dime.

Follow these three basic steps to start your affiliate marketing campaign if you want to be an affiliate marketer and make money online.

Start by finding a niche you’re interested in so you won’t get bored later and have to build an affiliate website. Here are a few places to research – ClickBank Marketplace, WarriorPlus, Digistere24, LinkShare.com, CJ.com etc. Choosing an area you’re familiar with It will help you do your best.

Secondly, find good paying merchants and high converting products. Make a list of them and make a website for them. You need to think about the support they’re giving you, too – Marketing materials could be articles, text links, banner ads, classified ads, reports, etc.

There are many affiliate networks and affiliate solution providers that can give you info on the most profitable products and best paying merchants. So be wise enough to choose the right affiliate program.

Having decided which products to promote and which merchant to support, and having created your own website with a domain name and reliable hosting, you’re ready to start promoting. This is the toughest part because it’s through this that you’ll be able to increase traffic to the business website, sales, and profit.

You can earn a lot of money from affiliate marketing if you use the right methods and strategies.

It’s good to continue to educate yourself by reading books, courses, and articles online about the best and most proven advertising techniques. Here is some free help.

Success does not come overnight. The numerous encouraging testimonies of merchants and affiliate marketers alike who have benefited from affiliate marketing may make it seem very tempting, but it really involves a great deal of hard work and persistence. Besides creativity, you should also be flexible.

Since most affiliate marketers don’t understand this, they quit, look for other programs, and repeat the same mistake when they don’t make sales. They concluded that affiliate marketing was just one of those Internet scams. There is no reason you cannot succeed in affiliate marketing if you employ the right strategies. You can make money as an affiliate marketer if you are willing to work hard.

7 Critical Reasons Why Marketers Use Mini-sites!

By Robert Clever on February 20, 2023 in Blog

It has become mainstream for most internet marketers to use mini-sites. Some claim mini-sites are “trendy”, while others think they are here to stay.

As long as they are used wisely, mini-sites outperform every other type of website in internet history.

Here are 10 key reasons why we see them used everywhere we surf:

1) They are quick to create! As any marketer will tell you, time is of the utmost importance when it comes to selling anything. The faster you get your sales letter, order page, and product in front of buyers, the more profits you’ll earn.

2) They can be generated easily! Why spend precious time and effort struggling to create an informational site to sell a product? Think about it. You can get a mini-site up and running in a matter of hours. Wow, no frustration and no stress, just profits! What a concept!

There is no question that Mini-sites are cost effective. Everyone wants to save a buck these days, especially since gas and oil prices are skyrocketing.

3) You can build your own free website instead of paying $300 + or a couple of thousand dollars to a webmaster or designer.

It’s true! You can generate mini-sites using free software like Mozzila, for example. FYI, in most cases, you can generate a site and have it up and making profits, subscribers or driving traffic to one of your other sites, before a professional can place you on his or her schedule.

4) Mini-sites have a primary purpose! They are designed with one goal in mind – usually to get a person to take action – to subscribe to a newsletter, place an order, or click a link pointing them to a particular product. (landing Page or funnel)

Visitors will be less confused if their focus is narrower. I know from experience and from hearing other marketers say that giving them one choice at a time is easier to keep their attention.

This statement holds great wisdom when it comes to generating any website.

5) You can test headlines and sub-headers faster! If the sites can be built more quickly and easily, shouldn’t they also be tested more quickly to discover what works and what doesn’t? It sounds like big money to me!

6) Mini-sites can be tested for search engine optimization quickly too! The fewer pages you create, the more time you’ll save to write articles or create another site where you can sell products or link to.

If your sales letter has good content, Meta tags, descriptions, and keywords, your site can be optimized more efficiently.

7) Mini-sites are so easy and quick to create that you can make many and use them for different purposes.

For instance, I may have two or three to gain subscribers to newsletters explaining how to use the products I sell, while I have five or six others to promote affiliate products.

8) To make them more attractive to search engines, I interlink them with each other and with other high-traffic sites.

9) Try spending a one-time fee on a good program that shows you step-by-step how to set up and use mini-sites if you’re tired of wasting time, energy, or money in your website. It’s the best investment you’ll ever make.

10) Imagine that you are your own energized bunny where you can create and create and create some more to fulfill whatever purpose you have in mind without spending another dime on someone else’s work.

How To Entice People To Your Website

By Robert Clever on February 18, 2023 in Blog

When a website is developed and published, people will probably believe that website development is complete. However, the real work begins here. To make money from a website, you need to drive traffic to it. In a search engine optimization strategy, there are lots of ways to generate that traffic.

While all techniques may not be needed to take in as triumphant. You’ll definitely need at least some of them to get traffic. Be aware of the following strategies: Good optimized content is required for search engine recognition, and update the site often. The search engines take your website as an active website, not a dead one when updated regularly. Make sure you update it at least monthly.

The following are some effective techniques you should implement:

Make minor changes to the website content from time to time. This will help keep the website up to date.
Update information about contacts, staffing, and clients.
Links should be active, and the link text should be changed frequently, as this will be considered a change to the page by search engines.
Offer RSS feed to the public that is updated at hourly or daily basis.
Make sure your links are well managed so that the search engines will give you good weight for search positioning.
Try to publish newsletters weekly, at least monthly.

How to get link popularity? You may find it boring, as it requires careful selection of the links, however, there are many means that can be implemented.

Reciprocal Links: Find out relevant websites that desire to exchange trade links.
Anchor text: Create link text using appropriate keywords.
Consider Page-Rank: Make out a link only with websites that have good Page-Rank (Websites at least having PR of 3).
Enlist your website with web directories. You may select paid or free directory listings that are profitable for your website.

It is important to understand that developing a site is only the beginning. Getting potential traffic to your website is the most difficult step. You will not be able to taste the sweet fruits of success until you put in the effort, time, and effort. It may be necessary to hire someone to help you.

Theft is theft, misery loves company, negative people are everywhere, business is sometimes bad, and things go up and down.

Right? Wrong, knowledge is only powerful if applied. So why do we only use “commercialized” marketing tactics and not utilize what matters most?

For instance, Google allows us to promote 2 URL’s, www.yoursite.com & http://yoursite.com

So ok. Nothing new…

Then why aren’t you promoting the power Google gave to you?

Many of us know that adding a link to both urls within our websites can be effective, but what we don’t realize is that you can’t simply add both urls and expect good results.

If you want popcorn, you have to pop it first!

There you go! Just give 2 URLs and 2 key phrases. If you promote your main page twice, you’ll get more traffic.

re: www.yoursite.com & http://yoursite.com

… Within your title tag, you should provide Google with two key phrases for each URL.

Besides your description tag, your alt tag, H1 tag, and a portion of your text, consider using both key phrases.

Here are the results of your efforts:

As a result, the next time Google searches your website, it now contains more content than ever before, and you didn’t have to do much. Your search terms have doubled for 2 URLs pointing to the same page.

Have fun with this and remember, search engines don’t like spam tactics and neither do your visitors, so play safe and stick to the rules!

“Seven Secrets of Internet Millionaires”

By Robert Clever on February 17, 2023 in Blog

The success of Internet millionaires is not achieved by luck of the draw. They know the secrets to success, which if implemented will make you successful in your Internet business.

A millionaire knows two kinds of secrets, external and internal. We will go over these secrets in depth in order to help you become a millionaire online.

First, let’s look at the external secrets that Internet millionaires have in their tool kit.

Internet Millionaire Secret #1: Internet millionaires recognize that strategy is the foundation of any marketing plan. It is imperative to have a marketing strategy and not just jump into marketing techniques. Since consumers have choices now, we no longer need to use mass advertising. Using mass marketing techniques without first strategizing about the state of the market would have been a waste of valuable time and money.

Internet Millionaire Secret #2: Internet millionaires are not generalists. In general, niche markets are taking hold in the business market because customers have more choices in where to buy their products. They sell their products and services to specific niche markets.

Internet Millionaire’s Secret #3: Find untapped markets and grab them. Find people in your market who have not been able to get your product in the past. In untapped markets, you don’t have to deal with competitors, so marketing costs go down. Moreover, you will be able to build a rapport and trust with your customers by doing so.

Internet Millionaire Secret #4: The backend strategy you choose is crucial to your success.

As a company, you want to sell your products and services to a larger audience through several profit centers. You can’t retire early if you only have one profit center. It diversifies your business so that you are bringing in money from many different areas. It diversifies your business.

Internet Millionaire Secret #5: Try to automate as many services as possible. This will allow you to sell services 24 hours a day 7 days a week online. Automate your service centers to cut down on costs and help your customers at all hours of the day.

Internet millionaire’s secret #6: Build your business so you can be replaced. Branding encompasses yourself or the value you provide. You can make yourself replaceable by branding. You can brand yourself for a profit, but you can’t take a break because you have to make all the decisions. On the other hand, branding your value sells your expertise and not your time, whereas branding your value does.

Internet millionaire’s secret #7: Don’t work alone; create a team of marketing, business, mentors, and accountability individuals to support your business venture. It is always better to have two heads than one, so you can discuss ideas and strategies for your business.

Internet millionaires also have internal secrets. An Internet millionaire has self confidence and believes in their product. They are able to make decisions quickly. They have learned the correct information and modeled others that have proven successful. A major secret of Internet millionaires is that they persevere and never give up despite obstacles that cross their path regardless of their job. They realize that their job does not define who they are.

Building Blocks For A Successful Blog – Get It Right Now!

By Robert Clever on February 16, 2023 in Blog

It is important to know three things if you want to build a successful blog. The idea that building a successful blog is the easiest task out there isn’t true. It takes more than just setting up a blog to chat about your life to be a successful blogger. To have the foundation for a successful blog, you need to focus on these three building blocks. To make your blog successful, you need more than just these three building blocks. Read on to learn how to make your blog successful.

The Look

For a blog to succeed, it must have an appropriate look from the start. When you start your blog, you can start it with an appropriate style. Many blogging software programs will provide you with guidance on how to set up your blog’s style. You will see that there will be different templates available to you if you are using a blogging program that caters to beginners. There will be something for everyone if you are using a blogging program that caters mostly to beginners.

Choose a color scheme for the layout by going through the templates. Experiment with the layouts to see which looks best on your computer screen. You can always go back and change the template later if you wish to change the look of your blog. You can even hire a professional to do the job for you if you wish if you are creating your own blog without using a pre-created template. You should make it look as professional as possible. Your readers are more likely to take your posts seriously if your blog looks professional.

The Content

Second, you will need to create interesting content for your blog if you want to make it successful. Although you can choose to create posts that have no direction or purpose, you will see an increase in traffic when you write interesting commentary or short articles filled with information. Even though you may find your day to day activities interesting, most readers won’t enjoy them unless you make them humorous.

In addition, it is important to note that the more content on your site, the more successful it will become. The more posts you make, the more likely one of them will attract the attention of someone searching for the same topic. It is basically a numbers game at this point.

The Ads

The third building block is advertising. Bloggers can make a steady income using advertising on their blogs. The trick is to have a good mixture of ads and content, however. Your blog will not attract readers if it has too many ads, which will distract them and make them avoid your site. Keeping in mind that you should not have more than two or three ads per blog page is a good rule to remember.

It is important not to overwhelm your readers with ads. You should only present them so that the readers can explore them further if they wish. Avoid flashing ads and other bold ads that will annoy your readers. It is also important to choose the right advertising program. If you want to get started in the advertising arena quickly, try Google Adsense, an easy-to-use program.

The Dedication

In order to get positive results from your blog, you have to be dedicated to it. You have to be willing to put in the time and effort. Even if you have the other three components, you will not be getting optimum results unless you take the time to update your posts each day. The dedication you put into your blog can hide the fact that you are a beginner and help you create an attractive and functional blog. No matter how little experience you have, dedication can overcome that. You can have a great blog as long as you devote some time to it.

Becoming an Internet Entrepreneur – Tips and Tricks!!!

By Robert Clever on February 14, 2023 in Blog

Do you want to become an Internet Entrepreneur with your very own Web Business? To get you fast-tracked, we have included a vast selection of tips and tricks to make your online business the success that it deserves to be.

1) First of all, choose a domain name that is somehow related to the business you are in. For example, if you are looking for a domain name for your woodworking business, you might want to try using a name like www.woodworkingforfun.com or www.cafinglikecrazy.com. It is important to use a “real” domain name. Your visitors will not take your business seriously if you use a free domain name like www.tripod.com/woodworking, or www.angelfire.com/wooddesigns.

You will find a domain name that is still available if you are patient enough, even if a lot of good domain names have already been taken. Get that domain name now too if you anticipate you will need more than one. Do a search under “Google” using “cheap domain names” as your search words. You will find some very reasonably priced domain registrars. GoDaddy.com is the cheapest one I have found so far. They offer web hosting and cheap, cheap, cheap domain registration.

2) You will need a hosting service for your domain name. The hosting service allows your domain name and all of its content to be viewed on the internet. This is easy to handle. You have basically two choices here. You can pay for the hosting service or get it for free. If money is not really a problem for you, then you may want to choose the paid version. Just do a search using “Google” with “web hosting” as your search words, and take your pick from the thousands of sites. You will find that the price charged varies wildly depending on the services required. Now if you want to explore the free version…. There are a lot of free hosting companies on the internet. The problem with these free hosting companies is that they all require some sort of pop-up banner, static header or footer banner, or both, to be placed on each and every web page. These banners can contain all kinds of advertising, and some, or all of it, may not be welcome to the viewers on your website. The free hosting option is certainly not the best one to explore. To save you time, I would recommend www.GoDaddy.com again for the most economical hosting of your website.

3) Once you have your domain name and hosting service taken care of, you will probably need a way to build your web content for your site. Sometimes your web hosting service provider includes a site builder such as WordPress – Drupal. WP is a very easy page builder program and you can find tons of information on your tube on how to build a page.

4) Your “woodworking” site probably needs a little more customizing. Look at other sites on the internet for comparison and see what could be improved visually on your site. Does it need any flashy graphics? There are many free graphics available on the internet – just do a search with google. Once you are happy with the way your website looks, it’s now time to focus on that fun part – SEO.

What Is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization is the process of choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases related to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site highly in search engines so that when someone searches for specific phrases like woodworking it returns your site on top.

If you are comfortable using “HTML”, then you could add things like Title, Meta Keywords, Meta Descriptions, etc., allowing the search engines to find your website much easier. The use of “keyword phrases” is much more useful than just using “keywords”, because it makes your website more search specific. Go ahead and add a “woodworking” links page too. Another tip is to make sure you back up your site. There are few things worse than customizing a website and if something bad happens to your computer or hard drive, losing the web content forever.

5) At this point, you probably already have your website built and have it live. Now you need to “drive” visitors to your site. One popular way of bringing traffic to your site is to use a free link exchange or free link trading service. For the free link exchange service, you just sign up and put your URL in the rotator and boom you have traffic to your site. The free link trading service is very simple also. This trading of links increases your site’s popularity greatly with search engines.

One of the most important things you can do to gain traffic is to get listed with the major search engines. Go to each search engine, or use a free service like www.AddMe.com and add your website there. There are also what is called “pay-per-click” search engines where you actually pay for traffic sent to your website. Other search engines require payment in order to get listed with them at all. “Yahoo” is one of these “pay” search engines.

6) Please be advised that is illegal to “Spam” on the internet or via e-mail. Spamming is sending unwanted e-mails or putting internet advertising material, or internet material in general where it should not be. That being said, another method of marketing and promoting your site is to add your site to casino and gambling message boards and free for all links pages. Please check to see if it is ok to post your info there first, and in which category, and anywhere else before posting there. If you “Spam”, you risk losing your internet service provider, and possibly your web host with all of your web content. It’s just not worth the trouble.

7) Another way of promoting your site is to add your website address to your business cards, and/or makeup flyers and posters. Don’t forget to get permission before you post anything anywhere. If you have other websites, add a banner and/or link to your “woodworking site there. Make a t-shirt with your “website” graphic and web address on it (on both sides of the t-shirt) for yourself to wear. If you want, add your “woodworking” graphic logo and web address to different products like baseball caps and coffee mugs, and give them away as promotional items.

Buy an ad on a bus stop, a small classified ad in the local paper, or a radio ad, etc. How about getting two of those “12 inch x 12 inch” sticky, bendable, removable, flat, “magnet ads” made up at your local printing store to put on the sides of your vehicle’s doors? When you drive around the city, everybody will see your website ad and when you get to your destination, simply take the sign off until you leave again. How about putting one of your “woodworking” flyers or small posters on the inside of your vehicle’s rear side glass areas? Just make sure it doesn’t obscure your vision. The idea is to use your creativity here.

I hope these pointers are of good use to you. Good luck with your online web business!!!

Are Using Free or Fee Paid Link Exchanges Useful?

By Robert Clever on February 12, 2023 in Blog

You can build reciprocal links to your website in several ways, and I will discuss one of them here.

What are link exchanges?

As a way for webmasters to exchange reciprocal links with each other and as a channel for communication between the two interested parties, link exchanges serve as a center for reciprocal link exchanges. In some cases, the service is free with minor account limitations such as the ability to only request five links per day. In others, there is a fee that provides access to the full features such as checking if your link is still on the website you traded with or building link pages for your site.

Whether you succeed or fail with TrafficAdBar.com is the same as with any other internet ad, or even offline ad — your results will depend on the ability of your ad to entice the viewer to click your ad. Afterward, they are directed to a page that seals the deal – whether it is to generate leads to follow-up with, to make a sale, or anything in between.

Ads generally perform best when they are linked directly to specific pages that relate to them. You have a much better chance at a conversion (whether it be a lead or a sale) if you give the viewer one thing to do versus sending them to a home page that gives them a wide variety of places to go. Take them by the hand and lead them where YOU want them to go.

The Provider may update or otherwise change the content of the Website at any time and without notice to You. It is Your responsibility to ensure You are aware of any changes the Provider may make from time to time.

The Website may contain hyperlinks to sites operated by companies or organisations other than the Provider.

Conclusion

Link exchanges can be a good way of padding out your deserted links pages on your website, the more reputable link exchanges have huge directories from which to choose adequate links with relevant content to your site and gaining full access to all features are only usually a small subscription charge. One downside could be that websites you wish to exchange with wont because you haven’t got an adequate Google Rank, this can be a bit frustrating to the newly made websites, but this problem is very rare.

5 WAYS TO AUTOMATE YOUR SITE

By Robert Clever on February 12, 2023 in Blog

Automating your online business is one of the most important steps you can take to insure your success on the internet.

If you have been on the internet for any time at all, you know that there are just too many tasks to do each day to be really efficient and productive with them all.

Learning to delegate some of those routine, daily activities is one way to insure your site’s success and to give you much more time in the day for the most important task which is that of promotion and marketing your site.

HERE ARE 5 SIMPLE WAYS TO AUTOMATE TODAY:

1) USE AUTO-RESPONDERS:

Probably one of the best-known and popular ways to handle routine messages to inquirers is the use of auto-responders.

It is simple and easy to set up your messages which usually involve several follow-up messages to remind your visitors what you are offering and how to find your site again.

Here are some free ones:

http://www.groove.cm

http://www.getresponse.com

http://www.aweber.com

http://www.systeme.io

2) MAILING LIST MANAGEMENT:

If you are trying to run your own newsletter, handling the process by yourself can eat up a lot of valuable time. In the beginning, this may be possible, but as your list grows and the tasks involved keep multiplying, your time demands will increase also.

There are lots of ways to manage a mailing list including installing your own scripts and purchasing your own software. Weigh the pros and cons, but be sure and check out the possibility of *farming out* the responsibility to a mailing list service.

Here are some to consider:

http://www.ezinedirector.com/

http://www.mail-list.com/

3) USE SOFTWARE:

There are many software options available depending upon your work online. Here are some possible software applications available. Just do a search online.

~Creating links to your site and others.

~HTML editors

~Ad swaps

~Promotion

~Subscription management

~Survey forms

4) PAYMENT SYSTEMS:

Well, this is just a no-brainer. It is just too simple not to do this one.

Having an automated payment system that allows you to accept credit card payments for your products or services is something that everyone has to have to be successful online.

Here are a couple of third-party ones that I use and recommend:

ClickBank– http://www.ClickBank.com/

PayPal– http://www.PayPal.com/

5) AD TRACKING SYSTEM:

If you are going to advertise your products and/or services online, then it is critical that you track your results.
