internet marketing: A different type of internet marketing - 10/04/10 07:43 AM
For whatever reasons, you might not be all that excited about selling information products online. Perhaps you want to be able to see, touch, and feel a real world product. Once again – okay. The obvious advantage to internet marketing information products is there are no shipping costs. Everything is digitally delivered. We’re big fans of this business model but there’s no doubt that lots of people have made (and are still making) boatloads of money selling actual products.
The “big secret” is locating a cheap source for your product.
What may be the biggest secret in the internet marketing world … (2 comments)

internet marketing: No risk advertising with Hydra - 05/10/10 07:58 AM
We’ve mentioned it before. You can’t rely on walk-in traffic to promote your home-based business. At some point you’re going to have to get out there and drive traffic to a website or phone number. In the old days (yesterday) Google ruled the online advertising world. Their Pay Per Click (PPC) business model set the standard to and was the only game in town for internet advertisers to reach potential customers.
Google is still the behemoth at the top of the internet world but a new player is standing on the sidelines called Hydra.
Hydra is a results based company. Instead … (0 comments)

internet marketing: Home-based jobs for the disabled - 05/07/10 05:18 AM
For those with a physical or mental disability that makes holding down a traditional job in the working world difficult or impossible, there are certainly work-at-home options. One such mode of employment would be offering transcription services, provided you have good English and grammar skills and can type in the 75 wpm range.
There is a near constant need for speeches, lectures, radio and television programs, and more to be transcribed into text. With the internet as a delivery system, it’s a simple matter for a freelance transcriber to sit at home and complete assignments.
You might be required to take … (6 comments)

internet marketing: Where real estate investors go wrong - 03/30/10 06:06 AM
The rumors are true. Some real estate entrepreneurs have trouble turning their new business venture into a positive cash flow endeavor. Why is this? Part of the problem is being “motivated seller” focused rather than “deal” focused. Here’s what we mean by that. You can throw a rock in almost any neighborhood in the United States and hit a half dozen motivated sellers. Does that mean you have half a dozen good deals to choose from?
Heck, no!
It simply means there are six people desperate to unload their property. When you start to analyze each deal you will find them … (5 comments)

internet marketing: Make your blog stand out - 03/24/10 10:24 AM
Blogs on the internet come and go by the hundreds and thousands a day. If the focus of your home-based business is to create a profitable slice of real estate by blogging, here’s what we’ve noticed makes one stand out from the crowd.
 
1. Enter a new market early, on the way up into the public consciousness, and create lots of valuable content.
 
2. You’re not going to create a literary masterpiece every day, but bloggers who post regularly, for years, usually end up ahead of the game.
 
3. Don’t be afraid to be quirky, loud, obnoxious, controversial, … (3 comments)

internet marketing: Look out, here comes video marketing - 03/23/10 11:48 AM
If you’re starting to think there might be something to this video marketing on the internet angle, you’d be right. As high speed bandwidth becomes available on a widespread basis for the consumer market, it looks like there is a seemingly insatiable appetite for watching videos.
Ever heard of a little website called YouTube? Yeah, you could say it’s pretty popular. Hiding among these millions (billions?) of videos are more than just pop culture clips. YouTube and other video sites are becoming the de facto source for any kind of information to many people – instructional videos are a good example. … (0 comments)

internet marketing: Throw everything at the wall to see what sticks - 03/23/10 04:49 AM
Some people are serial entrepreneurs, proceeding with a philosophy of “try a little bit of everything and hope something works.” While we at The Creating Wealth Show are all in favor of entrepreneurs, there is something to be said for doing one thing and doing it well. Yet time after time we see people diving into unrelated businesses simultaneously, bifurcating energy and effort, reducing effectiveness.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Donald Trump are all very good at one thing. Yes, after they made a billion or ten they branched out into television or charity ventures out of boredom but you can … (2 comments)

internet marketing: Writing from home for cash - 03/22/10 06:29 AM
Mention working from home and a certain percentage of people think “writing.” Good thought because this is one of the obvious ways to leave the traditional work force and make money in your pajamas at home. The continued growth of the internet insures one thing – there will be a high demand for writers to create all that website content. So how do you become a home-based writer? Here are some ideas.
1. Write an informational ebook. These days it’s cheap and easy to publish through outlets like ClickBank or PayLoadz. Almost everyone knows something that someone else would pay to … (1 comments)

internet marketing: Computer illiteracy is a bad choice for your home-based business - 03/17/10 05:34 AM
If you plan on living very far into the future, and doing it successfully, you’re going to have to get computer literate. This might seem like a joke to those who have been riding the information superhighway for ten years or longer; those among us already loaded with a PDA, cell phone, and laptop every time they step out of the house.
In the future, the very near future, you won’t be able to turn on a radio or television, answer the telephone, or microwave a bag of popcorn without having computer skills. Not to mention operating an actual computer. All … (4 comments)

internet marketing: Decrease your internet marketing learning curve - 03/08/10 04:56 AM
You've set your mind on becoming an internet entrepreneur. Good choice. We approve. As with any career, there are land mines to avoid in the beginning. Off the top of our heads, we can think of at least a few hundred but we'll list some of our favorite guidelines for your edification, in no particular order.
1. Forget the "get rich quick" stories. Build your internet business for the long term, like you would any other business, and your chance for success increases greatly.
2. Don't quit your real job right away. In the beginning, use spare time to study various … (3 comments)

internet marketing: Top REAL options for working from home - 03/08/10 04:51 AM
We've all seen the ads - millionaires are being made every day stuffing envelopes from home. Please don't waste your time on such nonsense. If you have a college degree, there are legitimate opportunities to work from home and make good money doing it. From Yahoo HotJobs, here five great home-based careers.
1. Customer Service Representative: Large companies need people manning their phone lines, and outsourcing to India caused a profound uproar. These jobs are coming back home. An associate's or bachelor's degree in communications is preferred. Salary starts at about $30K.
2. Travel Agent: A bachelor's degree in business and … (3 comments)

internet marketing: Crash course in direct mail marketing - 03/02/10 03:32 AM
You read it right. We’re talking about direct marketing the old fashioned way, using a stamp and envelope rather than sending out emails. Don’t laugh. It’s still a serious tool for connecting with prospects, especially in this day and age when 99% of all email we get is pure crap, offering to enlarge certain areas of our body or informing us an unbelievable sum of money awaits us in Nigeria – we have but to disclose our bank account number to access it.
Direct mail marketing, however, works as well as it ever did, which is to say pretty darn good. … (6 comments)

internet marketing: The 80/20 Rule - 02/02/10 11:06 AM
Mr. 20%

Are you ready for a rule that’s important both in business and life? You may not be a big fan of numbers but file this one away in the grey matter. It’s called The 80/20 Rule and goes like this: 80% of your outcomes result from 20% of your inputs.
That’s sort of a janky way to say the following:
1. If you’re a businessman, 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers.
2. Apply this to life and you’ve got 20% of your activities provide 80% of your happiness.
Of course, the ratio isn’t always … (2 comments)

internet marketing: Acronym of the day: SEO - 01/29/10 03:10 AM
When you first dip your toes into this thing we call internet marketing, the alphabet soup of acronyms and code phrases can be mind boggling. It’s like another language – PPC, SEO and so on.
 
 

Today let’s talk about Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, a nifty little phrase that gets tossed around on blogs and other places. First question, do you know what a search engine is?
If not, think of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, or any of a dozen other websites where you type what you’re looking for into the handy little box and it returns … (2 comments)

internet marketing: What you can learn from 80 year old marketing ploys - 01/25/10 11:42 AM
 
Internet riches - like taking candy from, you know... I touched on this idea recently – at the heart of it, marketing on the internet is no different than what direct marketers were doing 80 or 100 years ago for advertisers. The technology may change but the tactics required to make a potential customer open their wallet and buy your product remain the same.
The bold sub headings below are no different than when Sears was nothing but a gleam in its creator’s eye.
There are three primary steps to making millions with a successful internet business. Here they are:

internet marketing: Before You Buy Pay-Per-Click Advertising... - 01/20/10 06:14 AM
If you have been studying pay-per-click advertising for less than six months, and you’re getting ready to max out your credit card to fund a Google AdWords account, please release the mouse and back away from the computer – immediately. The point to be made is, while pay-per-click, can be a marvelous moneymaking tool, it’s a dangerous game to play for a newbie.

You’d be better off to start with free strategies, like article marketing, while you ramp up your knowledge of pay-per-click (PPC). Many people who get into internet marketing as a work-at-home business don’t realize that, in spite … (3 comments)

We’re in a global monetary crisis caused by decades of misguided policies and the cycle of financial dependence has to be broken, literacy and self-reliance are a good start. I am here to help!
