by Stop Making Others Rich

What would it mean if could double or triple your current monthly salary while paying a lower percentage of taxes? It can be done and millions across the world are working towards that goal right now, but they know a secret that you do not! That secret is…it requires work and 99% of the scammers are telling you that their system does all the work for you.

If you believe in magic pills or the “no work” system, then you can stop reading now, as this article is not for you, but if want to know how to change your life forever, then keep reading. If you really want your Financial Freedom, then take action now and get it. Pull out your list of Home Based Businesses and see how they stack up.

The system that claims that it does everything for you and you do nothing but cash a check are scams. My definition of a scam is any system that has over a 90% failure rate and is being touted as a great system. How can this be? Most systems that are touted as breaking the code or giving you secrets work but they are out dated and everyone is doing it. Think about this, I tell you to put an add in the Newspaper, the section to place it in and the cities. Now for the first 10 it probably works great, but at 100 the competition starts. At 1000 or 10,000 it gets ugly

A system that everyone uses causes competition and break down. Not to mention it will bleed you dry of your funds. If you really want to become Financially Free, then start your Wealth Building Machine today, but you need to be a continuous student. Learning and applying what you have learned to increase your wealth. Sounds like work you say, not when you are earning money along the way.

One critical step to reaching True Financial Freedom is to map out where your income is going, what expenses can you get rid of, and putting yourself on a budget. There is no magic pill, no get rich quick scheme or magic system that can do this for you. You are the one that will have to commit to this and make it happen. Now the chances of you doing this by yourself is very slim. So find a mentor that can turn you on to a process that will do this for you. Once it is set up, it will do most of number crunching and tracking for you. A system that has won awards and has patents pending on its abilities and the development. Get Your Wealth Building Machine up and running by taking this step.

If putting yourself on a budget, increasing your income and finding a mentor is so important then why are the Gurus that are making this big money not reinvesting this money to raise the success rates of their associates? It is because they are happy with a 95% failure rate. Pure and simple. They make their money and they will tell you that it is your job to make yours. This statement is true on the surface, but by allowing a 95% failure rate these fat cats are just being lazy and not living up to their agreement with assisting you in achieving True Financial Freedom.

Do you want a Global Wealth Building Machine? Then you must search out and find a Global Mentor. The world is full of self proclaimed mentors, life coaches, coaches and on and on, but how many of them see their clients capture results. Unfortunately not many, as that type of service is very pricey. So be careful in choosing your mentor. Your mentor should have a training system that continues to evolve and holds you accountable. Let’s face it, we all do better when someone will look us in the eye and tell us the truth. You need someone that will hold you accountable to reach your True Financial Freedom.

To learn how you can put a winning system place and continue to evolve as the game evolves you need to commit to learning and participating in a true master mind group. You need to stop listening to the people that say it can’t be done. You see I am living proof that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind too. I was told at every step that this can’t be done or that can’t be done but I always proved them wrong. You can too. Make a decision to feed your greatness and all will be good!

The key is to get into a business opportunity that you can begin to earn money quickly. Once you start to earn money your attitude will change, your belief level will go up, your productivity will go up and you will understand the power of owning your own business. This is why you need to have a true Global Mentor. This person will cut your learning time down and have assets for you to achieve more in less time. Take action now and I will see you on your Journey to True Financial Freedom

Why PPV Advertising can really make you money…

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Erick Bren | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Jorg Trefesci

The modern way of earning advertising revenues on the Internet that has been spearheaded in the last half-dozen years or so is Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. This is a usually unobtrusive method of placing your ads on somebody else’s website or on the right side of Google Search Results page for the keywords you’re bidding on. These written ads lead the websurfer to your website splashpage, hopefully from which place you’ll make a sale.

Predominantly administered by Google AdWords, your ads are displayed free of charge. You are, however, required to pay a certain amount which can be anything from 10 cents to $30 dollars each time a viewer clicks on your ad. The ad itself appears as a set of words which has been written by you and it will only be seen on webpages containing material which is relevant to what you have on offer, based on your use of selected words in your ad.

It has to be said that there are mixed feelings about PPC with some Internet marketers considering this method of advertising to be a goldmine, whilst others feel the results could be improved upon.

This is where a new form of marketing known as PPV (Pay Per View) comes into the picture. With this method, instead of the viewer using the link back to your website, your website itself will appear on their screens, at the exact time you want it to.

Instead of being charged per click, PPV marketing costs you only a few pence to perk up the return on investment both in terms of your bottom line and the amount of time you spend working on your business. For as little as $1 you will be sent a hundred super targeted visitors, all of whom are eager to purchase from you.

What’s more, you can forget all about needing to compose targeted ads, researching the ten thousand “hot tags” that are floating around and being used by everyone, and taking so many shots in the dark that don’t result in sales but do cost you money…those couple of bucks per click-through do add up quickly. This is not PPC target marketing…this is PPV SUPERTARGETED marketing, and PPV Goldmine shows you all you need to know.Because if you want to succeed,you MUST know what to do.This is where PPV GOLDMINE Ebook comes into action…PPV GOLDMINE,teaches everything you need to know about succesful PPV Marketing!All the program costs you besides mere pennies per ad is $47 one-time–less than you may spend on PPC in just one day.

When PPV is used in the right way it will provide the significant income you have always wanted from your Internet business. You have absolutely nothing to lose so why not take a look at PPV Goldmine? It’s a simple but nonetheless powerful way of making the price of your advertising worthwhile.

What is Click Fraud

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Terry Stanfield | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Terry Stanfield

Click fraud is a risk that goes along with doing any kind of pay per click advertising as part of your Search Engine Marketing strategy. Pay per click advertising can help you be sure that you’re getting some kind of return on your advertising investment because you’re only paying when someone clicks on your ad and goes to your site but not everyone clicking on your ads is interested in your products or services. Click fraud is when someone that has no interest in your products or services repeatedly clicks on your ad just to make you pay more money. It sounds like something that petty and spiteful person would do to one another but click fraud can lead to huge advertising bills for companies who aren’t getting anything in return for that money.

Anyone that uses search engine optimization wants to advertise their website and try to get more traffic but the point of using search engine optimization is to reach your target market and get members of your target market to click on your website. Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are safer bets than pay per click advertising because of the high risk of click fraud that comes with pay per click advertising. The biggest search engines like Google and Yahoo have built automated click fraud management programs to try and combat the growing problem of click fraud but it still happens everyday to lots of companies.

A larger company might not notice the click fraud until they end up with an advertising bill that is three or four times higher than they expected. When that happens a click fraud management team from the ad company will step in and try to determine if click fraud is responsible but unfortunately the law hasn’t quite kept up with the changing technology when it comes to click fraud. There are several large click fraud cases that are still pending in the courts. Companies feel that they shouldn’t have to pay huge advertising bills as a result of click fraud and that the ad companies have a responsibility to create a click fraud management system to keep click fraud from happening and the ad companies feel that the companies are responsible for the costs incurred by click fraud.

Click fraud isn’t just done by a single person or a group of people sitting at their computers clicking on a company’s ad over and over. There are automated programs that are designed to click on an ad thousands of times per day which can mean an astronomical bill for companies without giving them any new business. The new click fraud management programs that are being rolled out by the major ad companies and search engines are alleviating some of the click fraud problem but click fraud will almost always be a risk when you’re doing pay per click advertising. Search engine marketing with just plain old search engine optimization is a safer methods to drive traffic to your website although they may or may not drive as much traffic to your website as a few pay per click ads would. A combination of SEO and PPC with the right click fraud protection can be the a great strategy.

Tired Of Throwing Your Money Away On Paid Search?

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Terry Stanfield | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Terry Stanfield

Paid search is a fantastic way to drive web traffic to our site from the major search engines. It can also suck our marketing budget dry in just a couple of days if not done properly. The bottom line is someone is going to profit by implementing paid search. The question is, is it going to be us or the search engines? The goal of the search engines is more clicks. The more people click on our ads the more money the search engines make. Their strategy is to get as many clicks as possible within our budget are willing to do that all day long. The real goal should be “fewer clicks, lower cost with more conversions”. Let’s take a few minutes to look at some strategies that should make a difference in our campaigns.

1. Turn off “Content Network” when you first set up a your campaign. The default setting “on”. The “Content Network” represents most of the loss in paid search. Content Network presents your ads on websites that are using AdSense. If you go to a website and see “Ads by Google”, those ads are coming from Google paid search accounts. The content of the website determine the ads that show up on these sites. Consider the following before turning on the content match. One, the website that is hosting our ad gets paid every time someone clicks on the ad. Secondly, most people who click on these ads are doing research. The great thing about search engine marketing is that you come in contact with individuals who are actively searching for what you have to offer, pay for clicks that come from people in that category.

2. Search Terms. The more general the term, less qualified the lead and the more the cost. What I try to think about what terms are going to get my ideal customer to my site.

3. Keyword “types” There are three types of keywords “Broad”, “Phrase” and “Exact”. The rule of thumb that I use is: for single word phrases, use exact match and for search phrases that are two to three words, used “phrase matching”. I am also experimenting with using “exact” matching for these terms as well. The more specific the search term is to what you are offering and who your ideal client is, the more qualified to lead will be. Better a small number of qualified leads than a large number of leads that waste your time and ultimately cost a lot more money.

4. Ad Copy can will determine who clicks on your ad. Your ad should be specific enough to attract only your ideal client (someone who is looking for exactly what you have to offer). Your ad should have at least one of your “unique selling propositions”. This can be very challenging because of the space limitations. Rule of thumb, find out what your competitors are doing and do something different. For example, if everyone is offering free shipping, use one of your other unique selling propositions. Also, use the following in your “headline” box: keyword: “your main keyword. This will help improve your quality score.

5. Give careful consideration to your landing pages. These pages should do one thing; answer the questions that the searcher had in mind when he started his search. The searcher type in his search terms because he has a problem, needs a solution and is in some kind of “pain”. You have about two seconds to convince him that you understand what he is going through and what he needs. You must show him that you possess the answers to his needs. Don’t just send them to your home page unless your home page can accomplish the above. Once you connect with your searcher you must have a call to action. You must be very specific and clear about the next steps. Have your “phone number” or “contact us button” on every page.

6. Tracking. Finally, track everything. Paid search is not an exact science. It takes time to set up and optimized your campaigns to get the results that you are looking for. You must monitor your campaigns at least weekly in order to catch market changes. Google, Yahoo and MSN have free tracking tools that work great.

There is good money in paid search, if done correctly. If you are new to this or do not have several hours a week, it might be a lot cheaper to find someone who knows what they are doing to help you rather than lose thousands of dollars trying to figure it out yourself.

What you need to know about Search Engine Submission

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Terry Stanfield | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Terry Stanfield

If your website has not been indexed by the search engines you will not come up in the search results. When you search the “web” using Google, Yahoo or MSN’s search tools, you’re not searching the Internet you are searching the search engines databases.

When a site is submitted to the search engines the search engines uses software called “spiders” to crawl the pages of your website through your internal site navigation and captures vital information about each page and in puts it into their database.

The information captured include Meta tags, content, H1 tags, Alt tags, sites that you link to and sites that links back to your site. The Meta tags are at the top of your web page in the code. They are in what is called the header. The Meta tags are very important to the search engines because they tell them what is on the page. Along with the H1 tags Alt tags and the content in the body of the text on the web page this gives the search engines the information they need to index or put into their database your web page. It is very important that your Meta tags are specific to each page of your site. Do not just copy and paste the same Meta tags to every page on your website. There’s a big explanation from that old and that later. There are several ways to get web pages into the search engines a database (indexed).

Submit your site to the different search engines. There are a lot of sites, for small fee, that will take your indexed pager homepage and submit it to hundreds or thousands of search engines over and over every month for the rest of your life. Run don’t walk away from the sites. If you keep trying to submit your site, especially to Google, Yahoo and MSN, this may appear to them as spam. Spammy is bad! I suggest that you do not even register with Google, yahoo or MSN unless you have 6 to 9 weeks to sit around and wait for your website to be indexed.

In part II, we will reveal the secrets of getting fast, safe submissions.

Appreciation and the Law of Attraction

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Rebecca Hicks | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Rebecca Hicks

If the Law of Attraction works, you will surely appreciate all that you receive as a result of practicing it. Life will be easier and more abundant. However, you actually need to start out with a feeling of appreciation before you can expect good things to come. This is what the Law of Attraction is about.

Just like a child at the holidays you need to believe that truly fantastic things are coming to you. This puts you in a mode where you will be more open to appreciation. The Laws of Attraction show clearly that it is critical for you to have belief that good things can come to you. Being appreciative and open to something you believe is happening sends out positive vibs to the universe. This in turn brings you the good things you seek via The Laws of Attraction.

Without even giving thought of the future, you will use LOA to bring in many wonderful things to you. When you begin on a foundation of gratitude for the many things in your life, you are then focused on the good energy that comes from a happy and grateful mind. The Laws of Attraction become apparent because like attracts like and so being grateful brings you more to be grateful for.

Think of the way things snowball, both the good and the bad. You might wake up in a bad mood because you resent a noisy neighbor for keeping you up late. If you let that bad mood win out, more negative things will continue to happen to you all day long. When you consider the Law of Attraction, you will see why this happens.

When you decide that you want to control this bad mood, you can now brush off the feelings of doom and gloom and replace them with ones of appreciation. Watch a funny movie or walk in the park or pet your cat, and you will be surprised at how much better your day will go. When you use the Law of Attraction to help you along it is easier to be grateful. When you wake up just try to find ways to be thankful for loving spouse, or your good paying job. Whatever it is, by applying the Law of Attraction you will make it work for you.

So, the Law of Attraction works on a system of appreciation and reward. You need a way to remind yourself to always be thankful for the good things in your life. Some people set aside a certain time each day to list the things they’re appreciative of. They might compile them in a journal and look over them all from time to time.

The Law of Attraction is built on good habits. You can carry some sort of talisman. It can be anything from a rock to a coin. This is what rosary or meditation beads are for. They aide a person in centering on what is important in their lives. It can be anything you will handle daily. Some people put these items in their pockets. Some put them on a string around their necks.

Be constant. The idea is that every time you touch your item it helps you to feel appreciation. Then pay it forward by expressing your appreciation to others. Over time you will find that your thoughts become more and more positive and thankful. This is key to the art of allowing the Law of Attraction to work.

As you have now seen, it is your mind that is in control of who and what you are. When you use the Law of Attraction it can also expand what you have. If you seek to have better relationships, or health or a better job, this is how you do it. Your mindset and focus on appreciation puts you in a position to allow the Law of Attraction to bring you all that you desire.

What you Still need to know about Search Engine Submission

Jul 16, 2008 Author: Terry Stanfield | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Terry Stanfield

In part one we discussed the need to have your site indexed by the major search engines and ordered to be found in the search results. In this article we’re going to discuss three ways to have your site indexed, get into the search engines database that are safe and will not get you banned by the search engines.

Have another website (that is already indexed) link to your site

Once a site is indexed or put into the search engines database, the search engine spiders go out to those pages anywhere for once a month to several times a day. You could get a one way link back to your website from a site that is already indexed the search engines will follow that link back to your site and index it. The challenge care is to put your link on the site that is related to what you do. Ideally, the link back to your site is on a site that is already considered an authority in your field. It is not a good idea for a plumber to swap links with a web designer. Speaking of swapping links, try and stay away from reciprocal linking and buying text link ads, more about that at a later date.

Publish an article or press release that has a link to your site

This practice has several great advantages. One is that a lot of those sites that allow you to publish your articles are free and are indexed constantly because the sites are constantly being updated with new content. Watch your article is submitted to one of the sites it may take up to two weeks to go through their editorial process and the review. When sure article is approved, your site can be indexed within a couple of days.

Sign up for paid search with each of the search engines

This is by far the fastest way to get your site indexed. When you signed up for an Adwords account in Google your website will be indexed immediately. It cost very little to set up an account. You can put in just a couple of keywords that you won a bid on and did very little so that your ad does not show up on the first few pages.

A great strategy for getting your website indexed and building links to your page

I would do a combination of first setting up a paid search account with at least the top three search engines Google, yahoo and MSN. Then I would start writing articles 500 to 600 words and start getting them published on as many publishing websites that you can.

Search engine submissions are very important but if done incorrectly can get you banned from the very search engines are trying to get into.

Were You Hyped Or Scammed?

Jul 15, 2008 Author: Lucas Heijn | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Lucas Heijn

I want you to imagine for a while that you are looking to buy a business. As you look through the advertisements in the paper. You come across an ad that says, “Profitable Ready Made Business it goes on to explain that it’s an ice cream van in a hot sunny area.

You just love the ice cream, and this looks like the best business to be in. You find that the price includes a new ice cream van as well as ice cream making material. The more you look into it the better it sounds. You decide to buy the franchise. And then find that the area that you have got is an industrial area with no residents. So you have a beautiful new ice cream van, ice cream making material, but no customers. So, in fact, you have no business.

Many products on the Internet just the same. You can buy ready-made websites, loaded with products ready to go. You are told, you can start making money within 24 hours. So you buy the product and set up the site on your new web hosting account. You make sure all the payment buttons are working. And then you sit back and wait, and wait, and wait. Nothing happens.

Just like the ice cream van your website is beautiful, well stocked, but there are no customers.

When you bought the business. You were told you could be making money within 24 hours. This was hype.

So what is hype? Basically, Hype is not a total untruth. It is S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G the truth, to convince you to buy. What it comes down to is they are after your money. People use hype to convince you to use your money to buy from them. So what is the difference between hype and a scam? They both want to part you from your money. In this they are the same.

The difference is a scammer is much like a con man. The scammer uses totally dishonest means, total untruth to get you to part with your money. They often pose as something they’re not. I’m sure you have received e-mails from people posing as PayPal asking you go to the site and fill in your login details. With this information, they can fraudulently use your account your money.

Hype, on the other hand offers you a legitimate product, but it over states the truth. Any product on the Internet that promises you instant success is hype. If you want to start a business on the Internet there is no such thing as instant profits. Anyone that promises you other wise is stretching the truth.

Whether you run a business online or off-line, it takes time to build it. You need to build a customer base. You need to convince your customers that you are there for the long haul, that you’re not a fly-by-night operator.

The new website, you have set up is very similar to the ice cream van mentioned earlier. You have a beautiful website, some really good products, but you really need some customers. Another name for customers is traffic. This is the most challenging part of your Internet business. It can be a long slow process that takes a lot of work.

How to go about getting traffic to your site is a subject I will discuss in another article.

How To Use Article Marketing For Free Unlimited Traffic

Jul 15, 2008 Author: Mike Spencer | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Mike Spencer

One of the most enticing benefits of using article marketing in your online business, is that it is completely free of charge, and is a method anyone can use to get free traffic to their site. The purpose is for people to find your article, read it and then follow the link to your site from the blog or other place they read it. Many places accept articles without any charge but they should be sites with a good page rank; within a relatively short period you should start to experience more visitors at your site.

This is the benefit of using popular sites that have authority and providing they accept your contribution it will help you as well; trust is probably more important on the Internet because most people are faceless.

Article marketing carried out this way (i.e. more than once) will get people to look upon you as an author whose work they will seek out because the content is good. This is why it is so important to show people that you know what you are talking about so they trust the content you provide in the area you write about.

Although it can take a while, this traffic from people that trust you will help your own search engine ranking; this can help improve your organic visitors as your positioning on Google improves. Links from other sites (especially if they are popular) just improves your ranking and exposure; this is of course completely free advertising and can be done over and over again.

A number of links to other relevant sites can be placed in the body text (not too many) when using article marketing. Your article must have good content if you want it placed in many websites because this in turn will link back to your own website which of course will increase the website ranking.

Typically, it’s unlikely that you can expect your site to be listed straight away with the search engines. During this period, the best thing to do is continue submitting your articles to a many popular sites as possible and write more because this can speed the process up.

The content on your website is what brings the search engines and hence visitors so therefore part of your article marketing campaign should be to continually add fresh content to your website. Don’t forget that many visitors to your site are not visiting to buy something. The more truthful you are about what you are doing, the more visitors will appreciate it providing the information you supply is relevant to their search.

Once on your site it is not a complicated matter to show your visitors what it is you are selling. Doing it this way ensures the visitor is not mislead and is happy to be shown what you are selling. The last thing you want after making the sale is to return the money so by doing carrying out this process you lessen your chance of it happening.

If you want visitors to your websites then you must continue your article marketing this way; regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. An additional benefit from writing quality articles is that other website owners will either link to your site or use your articles on their own site; don’t forget, your article will contain information that people are searching for. Never underestimate how easy it is to increase your site traffic at no cost; with relevant, quality unique articles, visitors will keep returning.

How to Create An Ebook or Special Report for Under $50

Jul 12, 2008 Author: Debra Unplugged | Filed under: Internet Marketing
by Debra Unplugged

This is exactly what I did in less than 1 week to create THREE (3) unique Reports that I needed to give away for Free with my Opt-in box. Now I know I’m using this method to create a unique info Report, however the very same methodology can be used to create your very own digital book! I taught this method to my students and they went absolutely crazy over this strategy that several of them went out and implemented it right away! Below is my STEP BY STEP process. Keep in mind you can use this for unique Reports or eBooks.

STEP 1: Decide On Topic and Name. Your first Step is to decide on the topic and name for digital book/unique Information Report. I needed 3 unique Reports. Here are the topics and Headings: “Creating A Successful Consulting Business”, “Creating A Successful Coaching Business”, “Creating A Successful Seminar Business”.

Keep in mind my purpose and intent here was to provide general info in the form of a unique info Report that would entice someone to opt-in and give me their first name and email address for my unique info Report. I’m using this for my blogs. Note that my Headings are pretty generic. That is just fine for right now and for the purpose of creation. I will come back and enhance these Headings to make them more persuasive later.

STEP 2: Secure Article Writer. You need someone to write these articles for you… don’t try to do everything yourself. And remember it doesn’t have to be perfect…. it just has to BE! Get yourself going by having someone help you. You can always come back and improve later, that’s the easy part. Here are some resources: www.forums.digitalpoint.com - this is where we get our writers, www.craigslist.org - simply search for services or post an ad, www.elance.com - this is a site a lot of top marketers use.

What should you be paying per article? Answer: $5.00. If it is more than this, keep looking. Also… if you are looking for a lot of articles, consider negotiating a package rate or for a long term relationship. The key here is not to mention that you need a ebook! Because then the price goes up to $1000 or higher! All you want is the information and then YOU will format it into your ebook or special report.

STEP 3: Create Your Article Titles. Okay, now you need content for your eBook or Special Report. The way to do this is to go to your article writer and give them the topic and a list of articles you want written. Remember these titles will change later to be your chapter titles… for now all the article writer needs to know is that they are writing articles.

The articles will be about 500 words in length. It doesn’t matter what order you put your request in, however the closer to your book outline you can get, the easier it is for the rich Content Content Writer to see the flow and make the info seem continuous. This is the flow you want. This isn’t set in stone and you can always change it later. As a matter of fact I rearranged the chapters to make them make even more sense and to put them into a more logical sequence for my audience.

STEP 4: Format The Content. Once you get your articles back from your Content writer (average time is 24 hours to 4 days) you are ready to put them together as chapters into your digital book or unique Information Report and then format the content. You can implement a few strategies here to increase the content. 1) Request more articles and combine the content into chapters, 2) Add your expert opinion as content and supplement the information, 3) Add case studies to demonstrate the key elements of the content, and 4) Add graphics, charts, tables, testimonials. All of the recommendations should be implemented to create a value and content-rich product that is unique and exclusive to you.
