Make Money Online With The Internet Marketing Stranger. Here you can find some internet marketing strategies and related products that will help you make money online like what I do.
Do you believe that someone without any internet marketing experience can make money online in less than a week?
You see, I’m a strong believer that it’s ALWAYS important to build an internet business that can generate income– not just about making money online.
And as a matter of fact, I get annoyed when anyone asks me a question like…
“Can you teach me how to make money online in a week?”
In my mindset, its ‘hard’ to make money online for a newbie and it’ll take at least 6 weeks to get on the right track. I even think that it’s already ‘wrong’ in the first place to have that kind of silly hope.
**BUT**… I realized how I’m shutting myself and my client’s possibilities because I’m being a Smart Alec. I’m being ignorant. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make money online without spending the time to learn and putting effort, AND wanting to see income in your Paypal within a couple of days.
It is possible and I can prove it to you. No list, no product, no JVs, no nothing.
The only concern is this– you just got to know how to differentiate a real business and the process of making money online.
An internet business is a platform to make money online. But making money online does not mean you have an internet business.
When you want to make money on the internet, there are two ways to go about it.
The first one is to build a real internet business as mentioned earlier. In this method, normally, you’ll select the niche market based on your current expertise, what you like or if it’s your hobby. The strategy for this is to dominate the sub-niche of the pursued niche market and grow it ‘deep’.
Or build an internet business based on your million-dollar idea like the next facebook.com or something.
The other one is to break the ‘rule’ of building a real business by setting up as many ‘income generators’ as you can on the internet. For instance, putting up ads to promote affiliate programs. As you can see, this is really quick because it doesn’t require any product creation or even a website.
The game for this is simple too– the more you can put up on the internet, the higher the chance of success and the richer you’ll be. The internet marketing game is very simple to play- the more ‘presence’ you can have on the internet, the more money you’ll start to see.
The good thing about this method compared to the first one is you have minimal risk and you’ll start seeing income as you go along.
BUT THERE’S A PROBLEM– you desperately need speed. If you don’t use software or hire people to do the mechanical work for you, you just can’t put up enough ‘income generators’ on the internet. My point is, forget about this option if you’re going to do manually – it’s just too much work.
But the ultimate business strategy is to combine both options.
Here’s how it works – send traffic to the affiliate program by using Google Adwords and see how many clicks you can get. In some profitable niches, you can get thousands of clicks at dirt cheap.
If this is happening, then you should start diverting these visitors to your own landing page (instead of sending the traffic directly to the affiliate program) and get them to subscribe into your list. Bam. Now you get to promote the same affiliate program to your list as many times as you want and keep on promoting other products for maximum profit.
If you’re getting good commission for a particular affiliate program and you kind of like that niche market, you can consider creating your own product to sell then.

By Jimmy D. Brown
If I had only known, I wouldn’t have made these mistakes. But I did.
For such a small word, “if” sure does cause a lot of problems, doesn’t it?
“If I had not turned off the alarm clock, I wouldn’t have overslept.”
“If I had paid attention to what my wife said, I would have not shrunk my 100% cotton shirt three sizes too small.”
“If I would have taken the time to fuel up, my car wouldn’t have run out of gas out here in the middle of nowhere.”
“If I had charged up the battery on my mobile phone, then I would be able to call AAA to bring me some gas out here in the middle of nowhere!”
See what I mean?
“If” is such a tiny word.
But it’s like dynamite. It packs a lot of punch.
For me, as I teach (and learn myself!) about viral eBooks, the phrase is this:
“If I had only known, I wouldn’t have made these mistakes.”
You see, I made MANY costly mistakes in my early viral eBooks. Mistakes that are *literally* costing me thousands of dollars in profits right now.
And there is nothing I can do to change them.
Once you set a viral eBook into motion, it’s impossible to get it back and make corrections to things ya screwed up on.
Man, if I could go back into time and change some things.
I have learned the hard way some things you DON’T want to do with viral ebooks.
That’s what we’re going to take a look at here.
I’ve made ‘em all.
You don’t have to.
Don’t do this…
1. Never use any link inside the content that you can’t control.
I learned the hard way that you should always use redirect links from your own domain when putting any kind of link inside your ebook.
For example: most people insert their affiliate link for an affiliate offer inside the ebook that they have put together. The one that was given to them by the affiliate program owner.
Instead, you want to link to a page at your site that refreshes and redirects the visitor to your assigned affiliate link. Something like this… http://www.yourdomain.com/brainstorm.html
This is important so you can CHANGE the link anytime you want to in the future.
For example: If I decided to no longer use ClickBank to handle my affiliate program and went with a different affiliate tracking link, what happens to the thousands of copies of your viral eBook that are in place with that old affiliate link in there?
They become obsolete, unusable and unprofitable.
Or, suppose you are linking to a dating service that goes out of business? What now?
Your links are toast. They are worthless to you.
With a redirect link you can easily adjust the target page and send the traffic to a different dating service, or to a page at your site. With a redirect link the changes are made at YOUR SITE, which you remain in control of regardless of what happens with the products and services that you linked to.
Even if you change hosts or servers, you still remain in control.
You don’t have to make changes to all of those eBooks — which would be impossible to do — you simply make a 2 minute change at your site.
I can’t tell you how many dead links are in some of my earlier ebooks that continue to give me headaches as people email me saying, “Jimmy, you’ve got a dead link here … can you give the correct link?”
It creates a lot of extra work in answering emails and certainly is throwing away potential profit for the countless people who never bother to ask for an updated link.
So, never use any link inside the content that you can’t control.
Always use redirect links.
2. Another thing is you want to avoid using dated information by providing too specific details.
Affiliate program A may not be offering that free 30 day trial offer very much longer.
The price for admission to that special site may not always be $29.95.
That site that was “just released last week” may have become an all-time classic by the time Bob reads your viral ebook two years after it was released.
You want to make certain that you stay away from information that is too specific that can easily become irrelevant.
Again, I get emails all the time griping about inconsistent prices because I put a price for the Profits Vault membership into one of my early viral ebooks and that price is no longer valid.
Hasn’t been for almost two years.
I’ve even gotten ugly emails accusing me of fraud and false advertising, with threats to turn me in to the attorney general and all kinds of nonsense.
So, be careful that you don’t date your viral ebook if you can avoid it.
3. Another no-no is to never put any information into your ebook that you don’t want all over the world.
These things travel folks and they can be global in a matter of days and certainly over time you can easily have a worldwide audience.
I made the mistake of putting my cell phone number in one of my earlier ebooks because everyone claimed that if I didn’t have my contact information in there, no one would buy from me… which is nonsense I might add.
Anyway, I started getting all kinds of calls at all hours of the day.
What was 3:00 in the afternoon in the Philippines was 3:00 in the morning where I live.
So, it was a nuisance.
Kind of a funny story came out of it.
I disconnected that number, of course, and got a new one. That was almost 2 years ago.
Well, about a month or so ago I had a lady email me and she was hopping mad.
Apparently, she had ordered a cellular phone and got my old number… and folks were still calling!
She told me that she was getting calls from England and all over looking for me and they were running her cellular bill up with charges.
She wanted me to do something about it and all I could do was tell her “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do”
With viral marketing, it’s pretty much unstoppable, which is why it is so effective. It keeps spreading and it’s hard to stop the growth once it gets going.
So, never put anything into your ebook that you don’t want the world to know and use.
4. Another thing is this … always have your carriers do the branding.
You want to automate the process as much as possible.
Again, I learned the hard way.
Early on, before there were all of these branding tools available, I hand customized each ebook.
And as they began to spread, the customization requests grew to be way too much for me to handle. I was spending most of my day putting together these customized viral ebooks for each new person that requested a copy.
That had to change and so now I use branding tools and branding instructions. I give them to anyone who wants to customize the ebook and I let THEM do the work.
Keeps me out of the loop completely.
So, unless you have some specific reason to do it yourself, place that responsibility onto the ones who want to distribute the viral ebooks.
5. One more thing I want to share. Always launch new browser windows with your links in your ebooks.
Whenever you link to a site within your viral eBook content, always remember to code that link to launch a new browser window when the reader clicks on it. I learned this the hard way. There are many scripts involved in the order-taking process at online credit card processing sites.
And many of those have caused glitches in the eBook due to the software the eBook was created with and it crashes the eBook, making it impossible to order.
So, what happens is this.
You do your job well. The content is great. You’ve got a hungry customer waiting to buy.
They click on a recommended product link. They arrive at the site still inside your eBook window. They click on the order link and the entire thing shuts down. I mean completely shuts down the ebook and website altogether.
And, in some cases, it even crashes the computer. You just lost a customer because two sets of code didn’t like each other.
That has happened to me on MANY different occasions in some of my early ebooks.
Now, all of my links launch new browser windows OUTSIDE of the ebook if you click on a link inside the ebook. All you need to do is insert a simple line of code into your links inside the eBook. The code looks like this…
Target=”Resource Window”
Now when someone clicks on your link, a new browser window will launch outside of the eBook itself before taking them to the website. Now, you’re safe. EVERY link in your eBook should have this code. You can thank me later.
(NOTE: IF you are using a PDF maker for your ebooks, you should be fine with your links.)
Viral eBooks are tremendous tools. But, there are also some pitfalls associated with them.
I’ve just shared five of the mistakes that I have made.
There is just no way of measuring how much profit I have lost over the years due to those errors.
There wasn’t a manual available to tell me how to do it. History hadn’t really been recorded at that time to tell me what to stay away from and what to make sure I did in order to protect myself from problems.
So, you’re getting something that I didn’t have.
Aren’t ya happy?
In all seriousness, don’t make the mistakes that I made.
History doesn’t need to repeat itself on this one.

Free targeted traffic. If that’s not your idea of a goldmine, you shouldn’t be in the Internet marketing business. And getting free targeted traffic has recently become even more powerful thanks to the help of Web 2.0. Before we get to that, let’s first take a quick look at what Web 2.0 is.
Wikipedia defines Web 2.0 as web sites that “let people collaborate and share information online in a new way.”
Essentially, Web 2.0 sites are online communities where people congregate and are encouraged to share information with one another. The information that is shared and passed around by users of these social networks includes pretty much any topic you can think of.
And because there are so many specific niche topics (and markets) that people take interest in, Web 2.0 social networking sites are a marketer’s gold mine.
In other words, these sites present an unprecedented opportunity to have others willingly market your products and services for free.
As a marketer, your objective should be to find fast moving Web 2.0 community-based web sites that allow you to insert your URL. That way, when people review your information and share it with others, your link will get seen (and hopefully clicked on), thus driving highly targeted traffic back to your web site.
To find Web 2.0 web sites that are quickly growing and generating a lot of traffic see Seth Godin’s watch list at www.Alexaholic.com/sethgodin.
On this page Seth, an exceptional marketer and author, lists top social networking sites ranked in order of popularity and traffic.
What you want to do is review the top sites listed here and find the ones that will allow you to share your URL. Once you have found those you can set up an account and start building your own community with links all pointing back to your main web site.
A great way to increase your page rank and positioning on many social networks is to create multiple user accounts on related topics and then link them all together. Also, be sure to ask your visitor to rank your page. This too will boost you up in the rankings.
To get you started, here are just a few of the fastest moving social networking web sites today…
Take some time to visit each of these sites and get a feel for how they work. About twenty minutes on each site is all you really need in order to understand how they operate and how they can work for you.
Set up your accounts and begin creating some communities!

Many people say they want to get rich in Internet Marketing but very few actually do it. Of course there are many reasons why one person might succeed or fail. However, there are general principles you must follow if you want to be successful.
Here are three tips that can go a long way toward helping you achieve the Online Success you deserve.
1.Always Do What’s Best for Your Business
This tip encompasses all the other ides. Obviously everything you do should be what’s best for your company. Yet many people too often forget about this. The forgetting usually happens when people let their own feelings get in the way.
For example, you may get mad at someone online (a customer or someone else) and decide to tell them off. Before you do something like this you need to ask yourself: Will this do my business any good? If it won’t then don’t do it. Do not hurt your business just to gain some temporary satisfaction.
2.Take Care of Your Customers
Repeat after me: “The Customer is always right. The customer is always right.”
Of course, the customer is hardly ever right. But when you begin to think about not treating your customer well, remember: “The customer is always right.”
If you treat a customer poorly you can bet that person will go and tell at least 10 other people. So not only would you have lost that one person as a future repeat customer but you’ve also lost 10 other potential customers.
3. Always Have a Plan
The last of the three great business tips is that you must always have a plan, otherwise you will fail. It’s as simple as that.
Trying to make it in any business without a plan would be like trying to go from New York City to Los Angeles without any maps or road signs.
Be sure to know what you need to do each day and know what you’re trying to accomplish long-term as well. That way you’ll always be able to keep yourself moving forward toward your goals.
If you want to make it in Internet Marketing then you must always do what’s best for your business, take care of your customers, and always have a plan. If you start by following these three great business tips then you will be well on your way to a successful Internet Marketing career.

In internet business, one of the most powerful ways to boost up your gross income is to build an affiliate program. It can be the single smartest thing you do to grow your business and build residual income. Due to the nature of the affiliate marketing system, it affords you to the power of leverage and numbers to increase your results by the efforts of your affiliates. When developing an affiliate program for your internet business, the first hurdle is initially getting a high number of revenue-generating affiliates to join and structuring the system for long term and low effort results. To build this type of system in your internet business, follow the 3 primary steps…Research, Recruiting and Training.
RESEARCH
The first step towards building your affiliate program is to recruit affiliates to your internet business. You don’t want just any affiliates though; you want affiliates to join that are going to being highly success. If they make a lot of sales, you make and lot of money. So, how do you find these top level affiliates?
Use software called SEO Elite. SEO Elite is a great tool to locate websites within a niche. Once found, it reveals lots of different information which allows you to assume the success of the site. Normally, this is used to find Link Partners. A Link Partner is someone that owns a link or site related to your niche and internet business. For example, you could type in “running shoes” in the software and it pulls up many sites that are about running shoes. Then, it ranks them based upon their traffic, page rank .
However, there is also a secret use for SEO Elite that they never designed but is used every single day. Use it to research sites and internet businesses that you would like to recruit to your affiliate program. When you run the report in SEO Elite, normally it will generate 500-700 links/sites related to the search field. The software exposes traffic statistics about each site. The higher the traffic means that the site and owner probably are successful and educated about internet business. These are the type of potential high level affiliate you will want to attract into your affiliate program. Export the data and start contacting the owners of the sites and inviting them to join your affiliate program.
RECRUITING:
The software has a built-in function that allows you to easily send a pre-written email (you should customize it) to the sites that you are interested in contacting. In the email, include information such as the benefits of your product, how the products are appropriate for their list, the method of and how often you pay affiliate commission, and the affiliate commission percentage you offer. Make sure to give them your affiliate sign-up link so it is really easy for them to join.
Since the software already ranks each site based upon traffic, you can prioritize who to contact as higher traffic sites are generally more successful and will tend to become an income-generating affiliate for you! This is a really quick and easy way to find some of your best affiliates.
TRAINING:
The next and final step of building a successful affiliate program for your internet business is offering training and affiliate resources that are easy for your affiliates to use. The training you include will teach affiliates exactly how to increase sales and become super affiliates. It is recommended that you create an affiliate training center. You can deliver training in many different ways such as email, teleconferences, Q&A, affiliate forums, audio postcards, affiliate training blogs and LIVE events. Choose a method that is best for you and make sure that you keep your affiliates learning and updated on new affiliate marketing techniques.
The resources will be actual tools that they use to make those sales. Some examples of resources that you should offer are solo emails, banners, keyword lists, example pay-per-click ads, text link ads, product reviews and blog reviews. It is recommended that you build an affiliate site where all the affiliate tools and resources are located.
The better you build your affiliate program, the more successful your internet business will be. Quantity is not always preferable to quality when it comes to affiliate management. It is important to research and recruit successful affiliate and to provide them with an affiliate training center so that they can continue to improve and make more sales. Provide all the sales material to them and make it really easy for them to access and use it. Affiliate programs can be an incredibly powerful tool to boost revenue in your internet business if they are constructed and managed correctly.
