So many of the marketers I respect and follow are getting into the offline marketing arena, and for good reason.

There is a very real need for your skills in the offline marketing community.

It seems that affiliate marketing, while still going strong, is taking a back seat to this offline marketing trend.

How does this work?

It’s simple really.

If you have any skill at all in SEO (search engine optimization), you have something that all businesses want and need in today’s marketplace.

The idea is that you find clients who know they need to get their business up in the search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo) rankings. They know, for instance, that if they can get to page one of Google, they will get more customers.

The problem is that they just don’t know how to do that.

That’s where we come in.

We have the skills they need.. Don’t sell yourself short here. If you have even an inkling of how to do this, you are so far ahead of the game. You can help them.

With that in mind, here is an email I got yesterday. It explains the whole concept much better than I can.

Hey Wayne,

Have you ever thought to take your Internet marketing skills offline, where the real *big* money is?

Let me tell you a little secret. Business owners don’t know jack about search engines…

Or pay per click…

Or social media…

They do know one thing, though. That the future of their business is online!

They see it every day. CNN. ABC. At board meetings…

People bustin’ out their cell phones to check they’re email.

Or their workers doing a Google search for an answer to a question that they need to actually call someone for.

These business owners go into their offices, shut their doors, and wonder just how they’ll be able to get online…

Well, my buddy, Jason Drohn, has this download that you can grab called, “Your 1st Client.”

It’s all about how to pick up your first marketing client so you can tap into those offline business owners who *have* money and are willing to spend it.

Click the link below and grab it:

Get Your First Client

Think about it. These offline marketing clients are happy to spend $X,XXX’s every month to get their site in the search engines.

Do you think they should spend that will you?

Or the next guy?

Jason’s training will show you how to pick these clients up at will…

Best yet, it’s totally introvert friendly.

So if you’re worried about cold calling or belly-to-belly sales techniques, don’t be! You don’t need ‘em.

Make sure you grab it before it goes offline…

Find Out How.. Right Here!

PS. I don’t know how long this course is going to be around. I’m a member and it seems to be filling up pretty quick.

There is a tendency to get sidetracked from your intended path, even when you know you are getting sidetracked. That may sound dumb, but you know it’s true. My selected method of marketing is setting up small web sites that promote affiliate products (Affiliate Marketing) and then trying to get traffic to those sites using article writing.

I have gotten sidetracked way too many times over the past year, trying to capture the carrot that some new guru is dangling in front of me. So far, it has not worked for me. That is why I am writing about Sarah Young’s “Easy Paycheck Formula” here. It is about as simple as it gets.

1. Decide on a product you want to promote
2. Set up a free blog about that product that points folks to a place where you will earn a commission
3. Write articles about the product and send folks from those articles to your blog
4. Collect your Paycheck

The steps are so easy, even an old dude can do it. Sarah keeps it very simple. There is no way to not understand the method and the simplicity of it.

Try Easy Paycheck Formula. You can click on THIS LINK to see a glimpse of her teaching style before you buy.

Take photography, for instance. I love cameras and all things related. So I have a relationship with camera sellers. I write about cameras and camera equipment, and in doing so, I learn more about my passion.

My relationship with Amazon brings me income each time someone buys a camera or a lens from my website. It is very easy to create this relationship with Amazon, just go to Amazon.com and sign up for an account. Then start promoting their products. They sell everything from Books to Tanks. So, if you have a passion, they have a product.

First Place For Valuable Market Research

Can you see that this product has OVER 14.000 reviews?

Here is where the Marketing Research comes in. Go to Amazon.com and find a product you want to promote. Click on the Customer Reviews of that product. You will usually find tons of valuable information you can use in your articles and web pages about the product. Look for the things that show up lots of times… these can become your keywords when you write articles or buy Google Ads.

Second Place For Affiliate Product Market Research

Ever heard of YouTube? Of course you have.

Try this. Type your product name into the search box at YouTube.com. Usually, unless you are looking at some really obscure product, you will find lots of “Review Videos”. Watching the videos can give you some things to write or post about, but the important stuff is BELOW the video. Those who watch the videos will post their opinion of the product and ask questions about it. “Does anyone know if the Kindle will allow me to play video games?” If the questions come up many times, you have something to write about!

Notice under the video (you have to view on YouTube) that there are 7 or more pages of comments. These are the Mother Load!

Third Place for Affiliate Market Research

This one will take just a bit more digging, but the information you gather is again like gold. The strategy goes like this.. do a search in Google.com for your keyword followed by “inurl:forum”. This search will result in a list of forum posts about your product. Folks who are interested enough to visit and post on forums are the ones who will know the most about the product of their passion. They will divulge loads of information in the form of questions and solutions to those questions. Look closely, because you will discover the “real” secrets to getting inside their thinking process. What you think people want is not always true. Read between the lines on these forums to get the inside skinny on the needs and wants of buyers of your product.

The search for Amazon Kindle would like like the picture below.

Affiliate marketing success is not all that elusive. It does take a little work and knowledge, but when you have strategies that work, you can succeed. Even though I have been using these strategies for awhile, I got the idea for this post from Matt Carter. Make sure you visit Matt’s Marketing blog for a nifty little video on this same subject.

Successful Internet Marketer

A very high percentage of the people who try Internet Marketing don’t make it. In fact, the percentage of all business failures, whether online or offline, is extremely high. But while the success rate for new businesses offline is only about 40%, online businesses is even lower. And Internet Marketing is less than 10%.

Why is that? Does Internet Marketing even work?

The truth is that it does work. There are plenty of people who are making a living online. We always hear about the ones who are making a gazillion bucks every week, and we tend to want to be like them. So we try buying into their system, making them their gazillions, and we fall by the wayside.

Many people fail because of lack of quick results. Many others don’t make it because they fall victim to believing lies.

Here is a list of some of the beliefs that cause good folks to quit.

1. Making money as an Internet Marketer is easy
   This is not true of any legitimate business, and it is not true of Internet Marketing. Yes, there are plenty of people who are advertising easy online money. But even they are working hard to get your attention and to sell their product. Oh, and they had to create the product before they could market it to you. So they are working hard.
   But even if you are not planning to train others in the ways of Internet Marketing, success is available. It takes work and diligence to follow the principles that others have used to climb the ladder of success. Find the right solution for you and follow it. Don’t get distracted by all the promises of instant wealth. It doesn’t work with Amway and it doesn’t work with online marketing. There is always effort and patience involved.
   Even those who appear to have overnight success have been working the system for much longer than you would imagine.
2. You have to know how to set up a website in order to be a success
   This simply is not true. In fact, there are plenty of people who are successful marketers who are challenged when it comes to HTML and CSS. It will definitely save you some money up front if you can do your own web design, but it is not a necessity. The idea people of any business are the ones who make the money. If you have an idea and know how to present it, you will be successful in this business. There are tons and tons of people out in cyber space who will work for very little money to get your website up and running. Do not let your knowledge of programming or graphic design hold you back.
3. Running an Internet Marketing business is expensive
   Again, this is not true. In fact, there are free resources that will host your Internet content, and there are free ways for you to promote your business. Of course, if you are willing to invest a little money, it will help you to get up and running quicker because you won’t have to share the income with those who are hosting your content, but it is not necessary. Also, as an Internet Marketer, you have products available that you can promote (again for free) and earn a commission for each sale.
4. As an Internet Marketer, you do not need to know how to sell
   This could not be further from the truth. All right, you don’t have to go face to face with a customer, but the art of selling is what Internet Marketing is all about. Those who are successful at this business are the ones who have the ability to get into the heads of their customers and present their pitch as if they could read the customer’s mind. And it works even better if the customer does not know they are a customer. It’s an art, but the good news is that it can be learned. If you are not the best at selling tactics, you will advance a little slower, but you can achieve success.
5. A mailing list is not necessary
   Well, this one is not absolutely essential. You truly can make money online without a mailing list. However, if you want to make business easier on yourself, ask folks for the email address so you can build a relationship with them. Don’t make it your priority to sell them something every day. If you give them what they want, they will appreciate it and show their appreciation by staying on your list and buying something that they deem valuable (from you).

These five statements contain important concepts for Internet Marketing. If you can understand the truth about this information, the truth will set you free.

Above all else, success in this business takes time and it takes commitment. If you tell yourself, “I’m gonna try this Internet Marketing thing,” you may as well go get a 9 to 5 job working for “the man,” because you will not succeed.

Article marketing is what I do, so I am always in need of great content for my articles.

What I do when I have “brain lock” is to search the subjects on google trying to get some idea of what to write next. It’s time consuming and tedious, to say the least.

But, I recently got an email from Jonathan Ledger, the author of my favorite article spinning tool, The Best Spinner. Jonathan is a software genius when it comes to developing little tools to help with article marketing.

His newest release is the reason for this post. It is called “Instant Article Wizard“.

Here’s the good news… Right now it’s Free.

It’s free for the next couple of weeks so he can work out the bugs by using feedback from people like you and me who actually use the program.

I downloaded the program and gave it a trial run. It works just as advertised. Did I mention that Jonathan is a genius?

There is a tutorial about how to use the product, too. So it is easy even for guys like me who sometimes don’t know where to click or which widget to install.

So, if you want to get in on this FREE trial, click on Instant Article Wizard and give it a try. Costs you nothing.

Article Writing - Start When You Are Young

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

Six Steps To Get Your Articles Read

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1. Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!
2. Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.
3. Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.
4. Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.
   Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush.” You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a person’s emotions and makes them interested.
5. Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.
6. Use figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teacher having a little chat with an eager student.

Follow these six steps and you are sure to improve your numbers, both how many readers you get as well as the “click through” rate.

Search Engine Optimization will get your Website noticed in the Search Engines

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is used in all aspects of web marketing. You need to understand as much as you can about how SEO works in order to provide the best possible rank for you website.

When you use SEO in all of your content – both text and visual, you can draw more traffic to your site. In order to understand how to use SEO, you need to know why people use this type of marketing and rely on it so heavily in order to get the desired traffic to their website. SEO is what gets a website noticed in the search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others.

So what exactly is SEO?

When you are using SEO, you are using the context of the webpage to let the search engines know what your web page is about. This includes adding keywords to the text content, as well as to the images (using alternate text and image captions). By using these keywords, they are easy to find when someone is searching for them using the various search engines online. While it is often said that Google relies more on SEO content than Yahoo, which relies more on link building, the truth of the matter is that in order for a website to be discovered online, it must come up in the search engine.

For example, if you have a website that sells cooking appliances, you will want to make sure that you structure your site so that others who may be looking for the products you sell will be able to find it online. Those who are looking online for what you have to sell may do it in a number of different ways, although the easiest way for someone to find something online is to use the search engines. Most of the traffic to your website will come from search engine optimization.

You need to know which keywords will work for your website. These are the words or phrases that people will put into the search engine bars to receive the search engine results pages. Many people today are putting in longer phrases into the search engines to narrow down their search.

There are tools that the website owner can use to investigate the best keywords for their website, based on what they sell and what words potential customers are likely to plug into the search bars that will lead them to the site. In order to succeed at this, a website owner must not only know the concept of SEO, but also much about the target market, which is those who are most likely to purchase the products on the website.

If you are just starting out your website, or if you have a website up and running already, you need to know how to use search engine optimization in all facets of your marketing. While there are other ways to market your website and products without using SEO, the fact of the matter is that 60 percent of all traffic on websites comes from those who found the website in the search engines. These people are seeking out what you have to offer and are finding you online as long as you are accessible.

Once your site is search engine optimized, you can expect to get more traffic to your site from the search engines. People who may be interested in your site will find it easier if your website is search engine optimized. Most people use the search engines to find what they are looking for when they go online. By having your website optimized and easy to find in the search engine results pages, you can attract more traffic to your website through the search engines.

There are many internet marketing companies that will help you get your website search engine optimized and keep it that way. Some of the methods that they use to optimize a website include the following:

• Article marketing
• Blogs
• Press Releases
• Video ads
• Google ads

All of these can be optimized in order to incorporate keywords that will make the website appear in the search engine results pages or, in the case of Google ads, land them on pages where they are most likely to find people who will be interested in your website. The entire purpose of making a website search engine optimized is to make it easier for potential clients or customers to visit your site.

Those who may be interested in your products or services can only take advantage of them if the know about them and where to get them. You have, most likely, gone on line in search of something that you wanted to buy at one time or another. Chances are that you put the information into the search engine toolbar to pull up search engine results pages. You probably sifted through a few pages before you came up with what you wanted.

This is the basic concept of SEO. Those who understand how to use SEO to make their website more searchable and likely to come up in the first two pages of the search engine results pages are more likely to have clients land on their site.

There are probably many sites out there that offer you interesting information as well as products or services. Unfortunately, many of them are buried deep in the search engine results pages.

Most people, when searching online for something, will give up after going a few pages into the search engine results pages. In some cases, a search may produce millions of hits. Needless to say, you do not want to go through every one in order to find what you are looking for. Most people have neither the time or the inclination to do this.

This is why it is so important for businesses and others who want to have their website noticed make sure that they use SEO techniques in order to do so. By using SEO, a website will no longer be buried in the middle or at the end of millions of results. It has a better chance of getting to the front of the search engine results pages.

I have been waiting for the release of Brad Callen’s newest product, SEOLinkVine, for about 3 weeks. It appears to be article marketing on steroids!

If you don’t know Brad, you should.

He is an Internet Marketing genius.

SEOLinkVine is available now.

ONE WEEK MARKETING

One Week Marketing is a brand new product which has been released to supposedly take away the confusion for those who have got started with internet/affiliate marketing but have found themselves drowning in a sea of confusion. This new product appears to be the solution but many are asking “Does One Week Marketing work?”

I bought One Week Marketing on the first day of release. I had made contact with the author previously and because of my dealings with her, I could not imagine it to be anything but well-meant. However, despite this, I was aware that it was her first product so I admit to wondering myself if One Week Marketing would work.

I sat for a whole evening devouring each page and as I read through it, on every page there was another revelation. When I had finished the whole package (which is in excess of 200 information-packed pages) I simply couldn’t wait to put together another campaign. This time though, I just knew it would be different because I was following a proper plan with steps and stages I could “tick off” instead of sitting at my desk surrounded by notes on scraps of paper. There were so many things I hadn’t thought of doing (and indeed didn’t even know could be done!) to promote my campaigns-heck, I suddenly realized that my “campaigns” weren’t even proper campaigns in the context of One Week Marketing which simply took things to another level.

My own story then goes on.

I began a campaign the next day, following all the steps outlined in the report. Over the next week I had an unprecedented amount of traffic to my site and actually made 2 sales-something I had never done so early on in a campaign. So in my opinion, in answer to the question “Does One Week Marketing Work?” I would have to say a resounding “Yes”.

Would I buy it again? Definitely!

Before trying One Week Marketing for myself, I had seen, first hand the success of the campaign which inspired the product. As a member of Wealthy Affiliate, I was acutely aware of how helpful Jennifer Ledbetter was and how she was constantly trying to help others and how she had helped a struggling internet marketer make his first sales (the inspiration for One Week Marketing).

If you would like to take a look at the link below, you can get hold of the first 18 pages of One Week Marketing for free which will help you decide if this might help you in your own efforts.
