Automatic List Building

For serious Internet Marketers, you know how hard it is to keep up with everything! Trying to keep up with all of your to do lists can become a real nightmare. It becomes incredibly time consuming to keep up with your calendars, business partners, ad swap partners, and everything else. Serious Internet Marketers know that there is always something that needs to be done.

One of the biggest time wasters is trying to coordinate an ad swap with another marketer. You can waste hours trying to find someone who will swap with you. Once you are done coordinating everything, you have to track the results of your SafeSwaps. All of this can be very time consuming, and you want to automate all of this as much as possible.

Fortunately with all of the statistics on the SafeSwaps calendar, the entire process is automated for you. Your calendar is setup so that other people can automatically schedule ad swaps with you, and you can setup your ads on other lists. The calendar shows you all of the statistics of the results of your ads. You can see your SafeSwaps partner’s list sizes and clicks. There is no way you can get burned on SafeSwaps because everything is out in the open. Every member has their own profile that is synchronized with their Aweber and GetResponse lists to show you the real numbers of people they have on their lists. You can rest easy knowing that someone is telling you the truth when they tell you they have over 13,000 people on their email list.

Because of all the statistics included within the calendar of SafeSwaps, it has saved me a ton of time! I can look at the calendar and see instantly if an ad I ran was successful or not. This saves me hours of analyzing different campaigns to see what is working and what doesn’t. Over time, I can spot trends between my different partners to see which partners have the most responsive lists. I can run more ads because I am saving a lot of time!

Private label rights has been a hot topic over the last several years and for a good reason.

When you get private label rights to a product, you can take that product and turn it into your own content or your own product.

Imagine all the time you will save NOT having to create all the content…

As affiliate marketers though sometimes we are overlooked on the private label rights front, so today I wanted to dedicate this post to helping you learn how to use private label rights content to explode your affiliate marketing…

First off…

Affiliate marketing should always start with building a list in your chosen niche. This is key…

Simply setup a squeeze page giving something of great value away for free in exchange for the visitors name and email address.

Videos are incredibly awesome to use in your marketing because of the conversions that they can produce. Anytime you can get private label rights to videos you need to snatch them up!

Side Note: Liz Tomey has just released a huge package of private label rights products that include video workshops, video product, video reviews and so much more. This will help you a ton in your affiliate marketing and you can get the entire package PLUS personal coaching from Liz at PLR Blowout

Now once you start building a list, you basically have a license to print money. :)

You simply find a product related to your niche and send an email to your list about it. They buy and you make money.

It really is that simple…

Now once you have your list, you can also do other things to profit from it.

Stuff like…

Adding bonuses for buying through your links
Review products and sending the reviews to your list
Create products that you own and sell to your list

And so so so much more!

So here’s the plan step-by-step…

1. Create a squeeze page that gives something away for free to start building your list

Note: You can use PLR content to create your free offer.

2. Review a product and create a message to send to your list that has a link to the review. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

Note: In Liz Tomey’s Tax Man PLR Blowout package she gives you 25 video reviews of 25 different products that you can send to your list. You can get these by going to PLR Blowout

3. Find a product to promote to your list, and create a bonus to give to people who buy through your link. Create a message to send to your list that has a link to your bonus offer. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

Note: You can use PLR content to create your bonus product. You can get incredible PLR content to create your bonus with by going to PLR Blowout

4. Find good PLR content and use it to create your own product. Create a message to send to your list that has a link to your product in it. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

5. Rinse and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4….

This is the best way to create an autopilot income hands down!

If you actually DO this, then ALL you have to concentrate on is driving traffic to your squeeze page.

So, there you go. There’s an entire plan using PLR content as an affiliate marketer!

Now where do you get all this private label content from?

I highly recommend Liz Tomey’s Tax Man PLR Blowout at PLR Blowout
In this package you’ll get private label rights to video reviews, entire workshop and coaching programs, products, and more that are ALL personally created by Liz Tomey…

Not only that, but Liz is also offering personal coaching showing you how to use all the content too!

Now there’s only 500 of these packages that will be sold, so make sure you go to PLR Blowout

To your success!

How to Build The Internet Marketers Dream

What could be better than building an income stream that you feed once and pull money out of for ever?

Oh yeah, heheheh, thats the idea of internet marketing.

Take the best of a “continuity site” (also read membership), affiliate marketing and the idea of MLM; toss them in a funnel organize them and presto EIS (evergreen income stream).

Here, in a nutshell, is the plan;

You build a fixed term membership program.
Drive traffic to it.
Convert that traffic to customers AND affiliates.
Help your affiliates drive customers to your membership program.
Convert those customers into your affiliates.
Repeat.

Tony Shepherd calls it Perpetual Motion and has a free report laying out the process.

You Could Be Turning Subscribers Away

There is a distinct possiblility you are losing subscribers and don’t even
know it. You could be letting potential subscibers to your opt-in list leave
your squeeze page without getting an opportunity to join.

I don’t know about you but I sure do not need this.

I can only speak for Aweber, because thats all I have ever used. So this
may or may not affect you, you will have to do a little homework.

If your autoresponder service offers a “Javascript Snippet” to add your
autoresponder code to your squeeze page…You could be presenting
a blank page to potential subscribers.

Here’s what is going on:

Firefox is becoming a very popular “Web Browser” especially among the IM niche.
The most popular pluggin downloaded for Firefox is called “AdBlockPlus.”

This awsome pluggin blocks all kinds of advertisements
which slow down your internet browsing. It blocks banners as well as javascripts
that power advertisements. SO it will also block your opt-in form.

What happens is your squeeze page will be BLANK except for the little portion
that asks for name and email (or whatever you choose to ask for when you construct
the form at Aweber). So now you are sending potential subscribers to a blank page
that asks them for the gold you want.

How do you get around this? Simple, opt for the HTML Version and paste that in
like you do the javascript.

Don’t deliberate…decide get on over to your squeeze page and change out the
javascript snippet for the html code.

Jumpstart Your Listbuilding

You have heard it a million times, maybe even multiples of that…

The Money Is In The List
I would like to add, it is in a well groomed or maintained list.

What I mean by that is; Your list is initially only a bunch of “opt-ins.”
You can draw opt-ins to your list, but they will just occupy
autoresponder space.

They become “a list” when you develop a relationship and trust factor.
You must become a living breathing person to the individual behind
the email address.

That only happens over time and is refined each time you contact the
people on your list.

So with that in mind;

One good way of jumpstarting a list (especially in the IM niche),
or giving it a quick boost is through JV Giveaway events.

Now don’t buy the hype of getting a gazillion new opt-ins from a single
event, but you can get a substantial number of opt-ins.

In a nutshell here is how they work;

-You join as a JV Partner
-You post a freebie
-Someone sees and likes your offer and opts-in to your list to get
the “freebie”

Two factors play in to give you the best opportunity to build your
list this way.

-One is who is sponsoring the JV Giveaway event.
If the sponsor is well known then that in itself will attract traffic to
the event which can translate to opt-ins for you.

-The second is the quality of your freebie.
Your freebie has to be enticing and have good value. You will be
rated by your freebie, its the first exposure to you and your business
ethics.

Where do I get these quality freebies?
-Make your own
Making your own could be as simple as converting a PLR product to
building it from scratch.
-Buy a product with giveaway rights.

Lately I have been getting my PLR and MRR products from here

==> Master Resell Rights

(Yeup its a membership site, but I just cant say enough about it.
And lately I have noticed it seems to be the source for products of
a number of other PLR/MRR membership sites.)

I have found a number of items that can be used for these events and
offer an ability to upsell.

There is a grand giveaway event starting the middle of November here

==> 100 Percent Giveaway

The administrators put this event on yearly and I had very good
results last year with it.

The upgrage, which allows you to triple your exposure is less than
$10.00, which you do not have to go for (I did on this event) There
are other benefits if you do which you can read about at the site.

After you get the new opt-ins to your list you should share who you
are and what you can do for your newest members. Do this through an
autoresponder series or newsletter.

Then you too will be able to echo…

The Money Is In The Maintained List

Blog Commenting Can Be Loosing You Money

There are many “Traffic Guru” wannabies who evangelize blog commenting something like this… “Commenting on blogs is one of the top ways to drive hoards of traffic to your site…just surf the BIG blogs leave a comment and the gods will bless you with a traffic jam equivilent to New York at quitting time. ”

What hogwash….Well it tends to be for most internet marketers.

Because most people go about commenting on blogs completely wrong.

If you simply speed post comments on popular blogs to get drive by traffic, you need to cease, pull over and rethink. What are you offering the resultant drive by traffic? Do you have great content waiting? With nothing to make it stick on your blog, where will it go? You may find that there will be a traffic surge, but it will be others coming to laugh at your pathetic attempts.

You will fare much better and for the long term if you concentrate on putting good solid useful content on your blog.

Those fliting visitors that exit as quickly as they arrive do nothing for your sites rankings, and they are not becoming regular visitors that develop a trust and respect for you. You will never get the opportunity to monetize that traffic.

So how do you make blog commenting work in your favor?

Make your comments valuable. The traffic generated will come to your site because it is interested in learning more from you. Then back up your comments with great content that is valuable.

Your ultimate goal is to develop a relationship with your visitors. That positive relationship is what turns your blog into an income stream.

So what do you think? Am I on target or off my rocker?

3 Quick And Dirty SEO Tips

Here are 3 straightforward and easy SEO tips to optimize your site.

1. Add new content regularly

While that may seem obvious, it is really the best way to improve search engine results. There are a number of ways to add content including reviews, testimonials, articles and forums to name a few.

2. Choose the right keywords

Select specific keyword phrases that are relevant to your webpage, rather than general terms. Specific keyword phrases may be searched less frequently but, you will receive more targeted traffic and a higher page rank for these phrases.

3. Linking

To achieve a high search engine ranking it is important to have other sites linking to your site. These can be one way links, or reciprocal links, where you link to another site in return for them linking to you. Internal linking also helps build the prominence of pages within your website.

Of all the types of links, one-way links have the most weight. To obtain more one-way links, writing quality content is the single best way to motivate others to link to you. Additionally, posting on social networking sites, linking to your site, and posting on blogs are other ways you can take control of building links to your website and web pages.

When it comes to improving your search engine ranking there are a lot of little things you can do to boost your page results however the three most important and the strategies you cannot survive without are obtaining links, choosing the right keywords and of course publishing quality content on a regular and consistent basis.

Content is the most powerful tool you have in your search engine optimization strategy. Relevant content, optimized for keywords, and published frequently can launch your website to the top of the search engine.

Having said that, there are a few strategies that you should know when writing and optimizing your content.

#1 One page, one keyword.

Keep it simple and optimize each webpage for one primary keyword. You could include a couple of secondary keywords that might be extensions of the primary keyword. However, trying to incorporate too many keywords into one page diffuses the results.

#3 Use your keyword strategically.

There are a few prominent places to position your keyword so they’re recognized by the search engines. These locations include:

* Your headline,
* Any headings or subheadings in your content,
* And the first and last paragraph of your content.

#4 Let your words flow naturally.

Many beginners are tempted to place their keywords in every single sentence. That generally creates an article or page that’s extremely difficult to read.

Instead, write your content and then go back and position your keywords using the strategy just outlined. Be sure to sprinkle other relevant words throughout your content as well.

For example, if you’re writing about puppy housebreaking, you can also use the words potty training, or housetraining.

Having a keyword strategy for each piece of content you write and following the tips we’ve outlined will go a long way toward helping you reach the search engine results you desire.
The bottom line, write quality and well focused content for your audience first and the search engines second. Because, after all, your audience is the key to profits and a successful website.

What Stops Search Engine Spiders?

Websites get listed on search engine results only if the search engine spiders are indexing them. If they pass right by your pages, and don’t even know they exist, then you simply will not get listed. You’re probably aware of the basic steps to get search engine spiders “crawling” and indexing your pages, but you might have missed key reasons the spiders are skipping right over your content.

10 reasons search engines might not index your webpage.

Some pages are just not meant to be indexed by the spiders. This may not matter to your overall SEO strategy however it is important to understand what spiders do and don’t index.
Search engine spiders won’t index:

1. Pages only accessible by using a search form
2. Pages that require a log in
3. Pages that require visitors to submit a form
4. Pages that redirect to a different URL before showing content

Pages that spiders often ignore include:

5. Pages with too many outgoing links
6. Pages with complex URLs – these often give spiders an error result
7. Pages which are more than three clicks from the home page, often described as “deep pages”

Other factors that may prevent your web pages from being indexed by search engines:

8. Broken links from your site
9. A webpage that exceeds 105K
10. A slow loading time or a down server.

Finally, if your page is a flash page, search engine spiders just won’t be able to recognize it and won’t index it.

So, as you’re optimizing your website and specific web pages, pay attention to these factors.

The goal, of course, is to be indexed and to achieve first page search engine results.

How To Submit Articles For Maximum Traffic

It is a time honored strategy to submit articles to the search engines for generating traffic. Article submission has been used since the early days of the Internet and is still an effective traffic generation strategy even in our Web 2.0 times.

Many questions have been asked about the best method of submitting articles to get the maximum traffic and effectiveness. So, what are the best techniques and which are the most effective?

The first technique is to submit your article to the granddaddy of all article directories, EzineArticles. This site has built a reputation of being the best article directory in town. It is loved by marketers and by readers and most importantly, by Google.

It is a source of frustration to many marketers who find it hard to meet the submission guidelines or cope with the timescales for articles to be approved.

However, if you read their guidelines and stick to them, your articles will get through without a hitch.

Once they are in Ezinearticles you instantly receive benefits from it. Articles in this directory tend to rank very well in Google, even without backlinks to them. Add in a few backlinks and suddenly you find your articles are ranking in the top ten for moderately competitive keywords. In fact, even without backlinks they can often rank well just because they are on Ezinearticles.

Once your article has been published you need to do some simple backlinking to it just to give it that extra boost in the search engines.

Firstly, take your Ezinearticle author RSS feed and submit it to RSS directories. You can either use a tool or do it by hand. If you are doing it by hand, just pick the top ten directories in a Google search and that will be good enough for now. You can always submit to more later on, so make sure you keep track of which ones you have added your feed to.

You can also use one of the many ping sites to ping your article. This does give Ezinearticles a lift, but it also gets your article noticed.

Finally, social bookmark your article. Again, you can either use a tool or do it manually. If your article is newsworthy and well written then you can look at adding it to sites such as Digg or Stumbleupon to get further links and traffic.

Of course, there are other article directories out there, but none of them carry the weight of Ezinearticles. Google Knoll is a current contender and is very popular with marketers who are using it to submit their articles too. So far though, these don’t seem to be ranking as well as Ezinearticles, but it is a good way to get the Big G to notice your sites.

For the other article directories it is not worth submitting articles manually to them, except maybe the top half a dozen big directories. Many of the rest get so little traffic it is not worthwhile, except for the backlink. Therefore you should either outsource or automate these submissions to free up your time to concentrate on building your business.

If you are submitting articles then you need to make sure they are on Ezinearticles for maximum traffic. Do some simple backlinking to your article and you will easily find your articles ranking well for their keywords and bringing you good traffic.
