Before we start, I want to tell you something straightaway.

I hate Web Promotion. I hate it more than you do, and I always have.

Web promotion is all about getting links and traffic to sites. You can build one million quality sites but with no proper web promotion, you will never see money coming in.

Most web promotion tactics have one thing in common – trying to rank high in search engines results. In the old fashion days, I loved to submit my sites to hundreds of link directories. It worked like magic until the search engines changed their algorithms.

Then the next big thing was Blog and Ping. It was one of the most powerful web promotion system. I could easily get my pages indexed in a couple of hours and rank high in search engines.

But once again, the search engines saw this coming and as a result it is now very difficult to rank one’s websites on search engines, based on Blog and Ping.

Article submission is one of the methods I used. However, though it is still a very effective traffic generating tactic, it is also very time consuming.

I spent thousands on SEO tools and even hired an SEO expert. I spent hours doing Search Engine Optimization on-site and off-site. I did see some traffic now and then but the figures were not something i was proud of.

I was at the mercy of the search engines and was spending more time and money than I could earn!

I was desperate for a real traffic generating solution. I needed to be able to get traffic fast! To my luck, I found the very answer to my web promotion pain.

You might have heard all the buzz about the term Social Bookmarking.

Why is it so powerful and different from other web promotion tactics?

Social Bookmarking websites are basically sites that categorize and store ‘bookmark links’ (links which take one to a specific website). Millions of visitors flood these Social Bookmarking sites to search for information.

So the idea of bookmarking is to post links back to your web page from these Social Bookmarking websites. You need to specify some keywords (we call them TAGS) which categorize your bookmark.

This allows others to search and even vote for your bookmark. Social Bookmarking is in a league of its own because of its ability to generate traffic by sharing links.

Internet multi-level marketers, purposefully or not, side step the most efficient way to the use the internet and all that the internet offers to build business and social networks. Almost all MLM programs still rely on the old tactic of an ebook. This ebook when purchased requires an average 2.5 rereads that (by the sheer fact that it is a book) cannot interactively help clients establish and implement practical marketing strategies. Clients are left with a text to help them on the internet. A book of instructions, like an outdated VCR manual. What would the solution look like?

Im barry jennings from killeen, texas and Ive been in marketing the business for 1year. Ive been impressed with The SpiderWeb System because It is a brilliant marketing business model that makes perfect sense, Kimball and his corporate staff have been very helpful, It has been wonderful so far. I tried a different Company, then another, then another, I pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met. But I came across the SpiderWeb system and was impressed because I wanted to gain access to the 22+ step-by-step tutorial videos, I was sick of all the hype filled marketing e-books and training courses, I was excited to find a marketing system that actually actually does the work for me, I wanted to develop my downlines, It makes me money hands free. Recently something has caught my eye that this company does better than any other that I have tried.

I have asked myself, why not use the internet to present an interactive way to establish and implement the marketing strategies? Well, okay, maybe not that exact question. But maybe, something like, why cant we just make it easier to do marketing business better on the internet?? The SpiderWeb System, founded by Kimball Roundy, does just this. It works through a series of free video marketing tutorials that have incorporated within the web page the necessary tools to start building over twelve verifiable streams of income. It works like this : you watch a video and while youre watching you are actually clicking buttons, setting up your streams, and getting your marketing business out there. The best part is: everything to get started and working is right there all ready for business and marketers on the page. This, to me, seems more efficient and effective. Whereas other companies waste time expecting clients to read and reread marketing ebooks, then start working on their networking, the Spiderweb system already has it ready for their clients right within the free video tutorials.

Likewise, other marketing companies do not effectively use the internet for all that it has to offer. The verifiable multiple streams of passive income that the SpiderWeb marketing system uses comes straight from logical, practical, and productive internet use. Most MLMs use one or two strategies that may use the internet but ultimately get their clients no where. There are millions of people plugged into the internet every day looking for exactly what companies, like yours or mine, has to offer. Here is where the SpiderWeb marketing system shines. Using the ins and outs of internet traffic, the marketing system has been developed to best leverage the internet. Why not use what the internet in the most efficient way possible and make money doing so? The SpiderWeb marketing system knows how to use all the top internet companies to work for businesses and marketers.

Of all the ways to get website traffic and make money online, nothing tops email marketing. Of course, email marketing in itself means many things to many marketers. After all, it can take on quite a wide variety of formats.

Today I’ll cover the various forms of email marketing available to online businesses and reveal what works and what doesn’t. Here’s what we’ll discuss…

1. Unsolicited bulk email marketing
2. Opt-in email list rental
3. Email newsletter classified and sponsorship advertising
4. Email newsletter solo mailings (text and html)
5. Email newsletter network advertising
6. Opt-in “series” email marketing

1. Unsolicited bulk email marketing

Let’s jump right into that dangerous endeavor referred to as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email). Most of you know my take on this. Sure, you can get some website traffic using bulk email. (Though a response rate close to the 10% rate some companies promise is not likely – .01% is more likely.) You can tackle the rigors of unsolicited bulk email marketing yourself (you’ll need lots of ISP connections because they’ll be canceled quickly!) or hire a company to do the dirty work for you.

But the fact is, since unsolicited bulk email angers a huge percentage of recipients, your risks can be rather high. Your domain will end up being blocked by many ISPs and you could even face some legal battles. In my humble opinion, unsolicited bulk email is not worth the trouble. Read on and you’ll find that bulk email marketing isn’t really necessary either.

2. Opt-in email list rental

A much “cleaner” version of bulk email marketing is “opt-in email list rental.” There are plenty of companies on the web that will rent you email addresses that have opted in to receive commercial email. Actually, in most cases they are not really renting the addresses; that is, you never see the addresses. Instead, they charge you a per email address fee for mailing your message to a list under their management. But does it work…?

As long the recipients are not being paid to read the messages and they are genuinely interested in the offers they signed up to receive, this strategy can be profitable. The problem is that in most cases you’ll pay from ten to twenty cents per address and mailing to a list large enough to get great results can get quite expensive. But if your budget can handle it, you can generate some great targeted traffic. I’ve tried a few list rentals myself, though not recently. The best was from the site postmasterdirect.com which has millions of addresses in a huge variety of categories under management.

3. Email newsletter classified and sponsorship advertising

Now let’s jump to a more reasonably priced email marketing solution… “email newsletter classified and sponsorship advertising”. In my opinion this one still gives the best bang for the buck, especially for small businesses with modest advertising budgets.

Some people think I recommend ezine advertising because I have an ezine and I’m trying to sell my own ad space. On the contrary, I’ve been trying NOT to sell my ad space for the last few years. That’s why my own rates are fairly high! I can run my own offers or affiliate offers and make much more than I can selling the ad space. Many other ezine editors are finding the same thing. While this has resulted in rising ezine ad costs over the last few years, one fact remains… ezine advertising is still one of the most effective ways to get targeted traffic — cheap.

Ezine advertising works best when you locate ezines that your target market actually look forward to reading. And that’s not difficult to do… Just visit an ezine directory and search for ezines in your niche market. Subscribe to a bunch of free ezines and read them as they arrive. Look for larger circulation ezines that have a good following. If you like the content in any particular ezine, then hundreds or thousands of other readers probably do too. Place a classified ad and if your site and offer are up to snuff, you’ll make a profit nearly every time. If you can swing a top sponsorship ad, that works about five times better than a regular classified ad! Here are two solid ezine directories you can scour and locate lots of ezines that target your particular niche…

4. Email newsletter solo mailings (text and html)

An even better way to utilize email newsletters to drive traffic and sales is to purchase “email newsletter solo mailings.” I’ve been able to locate both text and html solo mailing offers lately and some ezine publishers really underprice these. (especially compared to list rental costs.) I’ve found html email to be especially effective, returning 4-5 times the cost of the ad in most cases. Once again, the list should be tightly targeted to your niche audience for best results. Use the same directories above to locate ezines that reach your best prospects and you’ll undoubtedly find some that offer this type of advertising.

5. Email newsletter network advertising

The next email marketing strategy which I’ve been using quite a bit lately is “email newsletter network advertising.” In a nutshell, you pay email newsletter management sites to run top sponsorship ads across their network of newsletters. The traffic can be targeted to just about any niche and it’s faster that finding each of the ezines yourself. Although this requires a larger initial investment than running ads in individual ezines, in the long run it is usually cheaper and it requires much less effort. The best advertising resource I’ve ever found on the web is an email newsletter network. It’s one of the proven, super-resources I share only with my Make-A-Living-Online.com members!

6. Opt-in “series” email marketing

Finally, I’d like to cover one last email marketing strategy which very few Internet businesses use, and use properly. It’s called “opt-in series email marketing.” This is a secret weapon many of the big name marketers prefer not to talk about much. It works like this… You offer an attractive and irresistible freebie at your site, (in most cases this works best via a pop up or pop-under) and when your visitors claim their freebie, they are required to enter then name and email address. They then are subscribed to your series of personalized, scheduled email messages that you have pre-written. The best type of series is one that offers free valuable help and information about the subject they were looking for help on in the first place.

A well-written email series will form relationships with your best prospects, something that holds more value than most online businesses realize. The best part of this strategy is that once you do the setup work, everything is completely automated and personalized.

There are a number of sites that offer follow-up email autoresponder services. I use my Web Business Wizard service for my own follow ups and it has worked wonders for my business. When used properly, and with a bit of originality and flare, this email marketing strategy can be one of your top sales producers.

In closing… There you have it; six email marketing strategies and the results they yield. Of course there’s one more email marketing strategy I highly recommend, but I left it off today’s list. That strategy is “publishing your own email newsletter.” I’ll cover that in detail in the next issue of BizWeb eGazette. See you then!

Affiliate Marketing for Beginners

Affiliate marketing is a symbiotic internet based business relationship between a merchant web owner and an affiliate. The affiliate, or affiliate marketing associate attracts business to the merchant web owners site by posting links from their web pages to the merchant site. Any business that is generated through the affiliate marketing site is then rewarded with the merchant web owner paying commission to the affiliate for referred business through their personal set up of affiliate web marketing.

Once the traffic has been directed to the merchant web owners site, the responsibility of luring the business in is no longer in the hands of the affiliate marketing associate, but in the hands of the web site owner. But the affiliate will be compensated for the referral of business by way of whatever is agreed upon prior to setting up their affiliate web marketing relationship.

If you owned a website you could turn it into an affiliate marketing site just by back linking to various affiliate web sites and having them link to your site in return. Back linking creates a more optimal chance of your site being spotted by search engines and also creates the impression that your website is well renowned and trusted as an affiliate marketing support site. By offering a percentage of whatever profits you make from your affiliates referrals, they can benefit from your product without having to put in any effort, and you can benefit from the increase in traffic and potential buyers directed to you from them.

By constructing solid relationships with decent, trustworthy and business minded affiliate marketing associates, you could easily set yourself up with a thriving business brought in by affiliate marketing for a number of different niche markets.

There are three ways in which affiliate web marketing can occur:

  1. Pay per click
  2. Pay per sale
  3. Pay per lead

By opting for pay per click affiliate marketing business, you would pay your affiliate a pre-arranged amount every time a person clicks on your product through the affiliates website. Pay per sale business would present the affiliate with a fixed amount or a percentage of the total sale price for every item bought that was directed to you through your affiliates marketing website. Pay per lead would be a percentage paid to your affiliate for every potential customer that they brought to your website for future business.

Affiliate web marketing has a structure of revenue sharing that can be extremely beneficial for the web owner and the affiliate, especially if the product or service you are promoting is in demand. There is a minimal amount of work that needs to be implemented to maintain it, once the structure is in place. Changing your website into an affiliate marketing site will make it work for you, allowing you to generate infinite amounts of income from your daily flow of traffic into and out of your site.
