List Building Strategy

Building a List For Marketing May be Your Best Use of Time

So the money is in the list. I am sure you have heard this over and over again. What is the this list that everyone is talking about? I short it is a list of people and their email address that want more information from you.

This can be on any topic. These people have given you permission to send them information about a specific topic. This means that you can send them repeat sales information about products that you sell or make a commission on.

Very powerful. But how do you create a list that you can work with?

First please please don't use a free autoresponder. I started this way and was pulling my hair out. anyone I have talked to that has used a free autoresponder has had the same problems I had it is not worth it. Spend a few bucks and use a commercial one. The one I use is Getresponse and I have been incredibly pleased. Just click on Getresponse to learn more about their service. It really is not expensive when you consider how much you can make with it.

I have just finished reading a short ebook on building your list and tactics to use to get people to sign up. It was written by James Penn who eventhough is quite young he is doing extremely well at building his list. His ebook (click on Accelerated List Building for more information) is incredibly low priced for the information that he delivers.

But better yet he gives several bonuses that are even more packed with information. My mind is just running overtime with the possibilities.

I have used a list since 2007 and it has been responsible for a significant portion of my income. I have made friends with a number of people and it allows me to easily stay in contact with people of similar interests.

If you are exploring internet marketing list building should be a priority of yours. James makes some very good points and details exactly what he does to grow an impressive list. Worth a read and the price can be beat.

One Week Marketing Review I Bought It, Should You?

One Week Marketing Review

One Week Marketing has many "reviews" on the net right now. Most from affiliates who have jumped on the band wagon to promote yet another income online stream. I am sure you have read glowing reports of how it is working for people.

It is a relatively new product by potpiegirl or Jennifer Ledbetter. The premise is that in one week she can teach you how to set up a system that will start to make you money on the internet.

The ebook itself is 65 pages long but she includes 139 pages of emails between her and her protege . This is very helpful as he has lots of common questions that she answers directly. There are things included in the conversations that are not included in the ebook. If you buy the package read both these documents.

She also includes 3 other smaller documents that support her ebook. Mind Map and worksheet. These are helpful but not critical.

The bad news. One week marketing system, although simple to implement does require a working knowledge of some aspects of internet marketing. If you are truly a beginner there are links included in the ebook that will bring you up to speed. So you are not lost. Just be aware you will need to do a bit more reading.

The good news. One Week Marketing system is built around no cost websites. You actually don't have to pay anything to get the system going except for the ebook ($47.00). Does this system work. Yes It does. It will not bring you an avalanche of money quickly. If you follow it and are disciplined it is very likely that you will make a reasonable income by the end of one year.

You will have to work at One Week Marketing but by now you probably have figured out there are no get rich quick sytems. Nor should you be looking for one.

I am in the process of using this system now and I am starting to have results. I have had the ebook a little over a week now. Previously I was using components of this system on some of my campaigns but didn't have a unified marketing web that potpiegirl describes how to set up. Now with the guidance of her ebook my campaigns are becoming a bit tighter and more organized.

So Do I recommend One Week Marketing? Yes I do. Will you have to work consistently at it for it to work yes. Will it work? Everything I see with my own stats indicates that it is working. Will I get rich over night? No!

Potpiegirl also gives you the first 18 pages to review. One Week Marketing is a good system if you have no money to put into your online business.

Create an Online Income With a Travel Site

Travel Websites Can be a Good Source of Online Income

There are so many income opportunites on the net. Just look around and find something that suits you. Travel sites are one of the best money makers although there can be stiff competition.

Think of niche travel locations or niche experiences. Create a website on your favorite travel destination or a place that you live. Fill it with good content and pictures. You could have some affiliate links for hotels as well. Three sites that come to mind are Philippines Travel and Ontario Travel and Florida Short Term Rentals.

Examine what these sites do to catch your interest and where do they lead you with their links.

If you generate enough traffic you will start to make sales. Get lots of backlinks from many places and things will start to roll. When I say many backlinks think in terms of a 100.

Using and Ebay Store Front

Another Way to Set Up a Money Making Site

If your are having trouble thinking of a way to set up a site to help you make money from the internet check out used welding equipment This is a very clean website that is built around an ebay store.

Alice, the owner, has taken advantage of ebay feeds in a particular niche area of welding.

The important things about the site is:

• That you can clearly see what it is about.
• You Can find your way around easily.
• It is monetized so that the owner can make an income from it.
• You can subscribe to her feed if you want up dates.
• There are a number of places to click on for more information.
• There are places to click on for the privacy policy etc.

In general this is a clean commerce site that should sell well if targeted traffic ends up there.

You too could set up an ebay store with your particular niche. As you know Ebay has a bazillion products at any one time so it would be easy to set up targeting one topic tightly.

Take a minute and look around used welding equipment to see the layout and how visually appealing it is. It will start you thinking about developing your own visually attractive website.

Site Build It Review

Site Build It Is It Really For You?
A Review for Your Information

Site Build It or SBI Review- as it is also known is a way to make a significant income online. This is true.

Lets look at SBI. At first glance you have a significant upfront expense $299.00 . You are probably use to seeing ebooks on how to make money using the internet for $40.00. I have purchased a number of these myself, and I do use them. But as you can see by purchaseing 8 ebooks I have already surpassed the cost of Site Build It.

This program gives you hosting, templates and step by step lessons to set up your own website. The hard codeing part is done for you. This is primarily where the learning curve has been for me. Learning the code behind websites. It is not as bad as you may think but it is time consuming. Site Build It does remove this part of the learning curve.

You can construct a very nice site using SBI and it will work well for you. Their principles are sound. The catch is that you will have to work at this. There are no Get Rich Quick Schemes that work. You are building a business with Site Build It and it should be treated as such to expect any kind of success. You should be willing to put in at least 2 to 4 hours a day to make it work. It can be done from the comfort of your home sipping a hot beverage of your choice but it will take time.

Results may take months to come in. They will come in if you use Site Build It and their techniques.

Can you achieve the same results without Site Build It. Yes you can! You can save the money and work with some other options many which are free. It is true you can save the $299.00 and do everything on the cheap. The bottom line is that success will be longer down the road. Today with internet marketing there is so much to learn and so many ways of making money online. Many are valid and extremely low cost. You can look through this blog for examples, but you will have to invest significant time to make them work.

Site Build It does provide a tried and true method of creating a business online. It will take time but they give you all the tools you need to use their system. It will work but patience and persitence is still needed. Do not expect to get rich over night, It won't happen. Could you 6 months down the road, have a significant income from this source yes definetly.

I would take the time to watch some videos about SBI just click on the link and you will learn more SBI Videos

If you think a SBI website would work for you then click on the banner below that will save you some money.




This is one way of starting your online business.
It does work, but only if you are willing to as well.
Of the complete website packages out there this is one of the best, but you still have to work at it!

Online Income and Indexing of Your Site

Indexing of Your Website is Critical for Online Income

A few months ago I started two blogger blogs. Women's North Face Clothing and Welding Supplies. The purpose of these two sites is to provide good infomation on each of the topics and have a series of affiliate links to allow potential customers to buy.

I placed reasonable content on both but started promoting North Face Clothing more than the Welding Supplies. I linked to the welding supplies from one of my main sites and a few articles. The Welding site has still not been indexed. The Women's North Face site was indexed in two days????

In the begining I used craigslist and backpages to advertise North Face but not the Welding site. I also linked from this blog to The North Face site. I can only assume that the link from this blog was picked up by Google and indexed the site.

The other possibility is that no follow links do get followed for indexing purposes but not for link juice purposes. Wouldn't that throw wrench in some things.

So where does this leave online income and indexing. If you are trying to index a page you must have some prominent links to that page. It could be a link on the main page of one of your websites. I have heard, and I have nothing to back this up, that the links on your Home page carry more weight for indexing than the ones deeper in your website.

So links in several sub folders may take months to get spidered as they become low priority. This leads to another question or problem. If you have good links deep in your website and you have a good number of backlinks pointing to that deep page those links will get spidered and indexed more readily.

In short the more links in the more likely a page will get completely indexed.

Once your page is indexed you can start to depend on search traffic not just traffic coming from your links. Another thought and consider it paranoia on my part. Lets suppose you set up a page to sell a product. Then you start an adwords campaign. Google is all connected. Wouldn't you use the link provided in the adwords campaign as a spider entrance? I would. Especially if I was in the business of collecting as much information possible. Spyder food for though.

Online Income Using Squidoo

Online Income and Squidoo, The Basics

For a while now I have heard of Squidoo and some people have used it to make a decent income online. I really don't like jumping on the next band wagon that comes along. I mistakenly thought it was something like Facebook. Until recently I completely avoided even checking it out. I considered it another thing to waste my time on.

Well I was reading something ( I can't even remember what now) and Squidoo was mentioned again. I had some time on my hands and I thought lets take a look. If you are familiar with Squidoo you may want to skip this post all together, but it is new for me.

Squidoo is actually much like Blogger in that it is Free and it is easy to use. Squidoo is more versatile than Blogger with more modules that you can add. Also Squidoo is already set up for you to make money. Seth was briliant in setting this up.

He created a site that instantly monetizes your page . He collects half of the money that you make from his installations (Adsense etc.) and pays you half. You don't have to set up any accounts except PayPal. Traffic comes and you get paid. Now obviously like any website what you get paid is dependant on your traffic and your searches and your number of pages.

You do have the benefit of all the pages are interconnected on Squidoo by the search function, and you can favorite a Lens (the name of your individual page) to increase the interconnection. You can also link from your Squidoo lens to your main webpage, or even straight to an affiliate product. Ahh the lights start to go on! This is a bonified way of having a web presence with NO Cost. You are incouraged to write about what ever intersts you.

The more the pages the better. The first one I built (only took a few minutes) is Artistic Blacksmithing Tips. This is a first attempt essentially to learn the process (Easy). It really did only take a couple of minutes once I figured out what had to go where. Blacksmithing may not be your thing but just click the link to see the page. It is bare bones as of writing this, but as I said it was fast to set up. I will be adding to this page and creating others in the near future.

If you are struggling with code and setting up a website and costs are mounting up check out http://www.squidoo.com/ and see what it can offer you. in some ways this is better than Blogger and it is not Blogger which means you can link back to your blogger sites. More lights should be going on!!!

I will be adding more lenses as I get time. Yes on Blacksmithing but also on Online Income. I will keep you posted about these.

---

As you know I tour around a lot of make money online sites. I am still in a learning phase (probably for the rest of my life). There are a bazillion of us on the web now. Most are new to the process or have a little more than their feet wet. I found Jerry Lindenburger's site Cash Blog . It is interesting and he has some good links to other sites. If you get a chance check it out and read some of the older posts.

I think we are begining to realize that for 4th or 5th teir marketors as myself that the money is not in the Make Money Online niche. For us the money is in specific niche products such as brand Zebra Fish Food. Very specific and targeted.

When you think about it this actually makes it easier for us. We now only have to create a page (think Squidoo here) to sell oranges to people who want to buy oranges. We shouldn't even be trying to convince the apple buyers to buy oranges. Make another page for apple buyers.

The old saying rinse and repeat.

My musings for today.
