We all have different abilities and different interests in how we want to approach making more money on the Internet. In this article we want to discuss the differences between being an Internet worker, or an Internet marketer, and why that is extremely important when it comes to making money online.

Let me give you an example using and often search phrase paid surveys. An Internet worker is somebody who wants to complete surveys and get paid for their efforts. An Internet marketer is someone who wants to sell the paid survey opportunity. Do you see the difference?

Written by Christine Erickson, on 31-03-2008 11:21

Forum marketing seems to be one of the topics that individuals seem to be divided on, some say that thousands can be made while others contend it is a complete waste of time. This is something that you will need to experiment with and ultimately decide for yourself. The major bonus is that it does not cost any money out of pocket but it does indeed require time. The 101 on Forum MarketingI do agree that it is not something that needs to consume your whole day or even hours of it. The key is to have a goal when you go in with a set time frame and do not allow yourself to get side tracked from your objective. This approach to marketing is not one where you will get rich over night but the traffic that you do get will build over time and will be for the most part be highly targeted (if you are posting in the right forum for your product).

What forum do you need to go to?

There are two things to consider when choosing a forum for your marketing endeavor. The first is to ensure that you are in a forum that relates to the product that you are attempting to sell. Typically forums are dedicated to certain niche topics and logically you don't want to be in a weight loss forum trying to hock eBooks on mortgages. Simply doing a google search for mortgage forums will give you plenty to choose from. The second issue to consider when choosing a forum is their policy on including your necessary links. Many allow you to incorporate your website or blog address in your signature which is more than adequate. If you start plastering it all over the place you will be deemed a spammer which obviously the last thing you want to occur. If you look around there are forums that

The Perfect Squeeze Page
Written by Jaz Lai, on 30-03-2008 15:35

Have you ever wondered what was the most important part of a squeeze page If you have, I'm sure you've contemplated several different areas you may have worked hard on, but the truth is if you don't have a great headline, the rest of your page is going to suffer. Seriously, that might have been the area you spent the least amount of time on and it could be the biggest reason your page doesn't become profitable.Marketing Strategies - The Perfect Squeeze Page

It's just like when you go shopping and you see a flashy sales sign, but if it doesn't say Buy two get one free, you will move on to something else in the store or to another store all together. Same thing happens when your squeeze page lands in front of someone else on the internet. If they aren't interested, they aren't reading another sentence the rest of the way down. They may do the old scroll down to the bottom of the page before they move on, but thats about it.

The objective here is to bring people to you and get that Opt-in lead for the long term. So you want something that is going to say, I am going to make you salivate before your done reading this! However, unless you are this great copy writer, taking the time to do this can become quite frustrating. Fortunately for us there are softwares out there where you can just type in a few keywords and it will create several different titles for you that are not only good, but will keep your readers continuing down the page. If that doesn't work then find a copywriter to do it for you.

The idea is that once you have found a way to produce headlines, you will want to take them and test each one to find

Postcard Marketing - How To Successfully Combine Traditional Marketing with Internet Marketing
Written by Pablo Terreros, on 27-03-2008 23:19

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a list of leads that I had purchased and I got to work on the phones. Have you ever done that? You talk to people that are happy to hear from you, right? Yea.....don't we all wish.

Time after time, "How'd you get my name?" "I'm not interested!" "I told the last 3 people to take me off your list!"...and so on and so forth. getting positive responses from mailing list marketing

Yikes. Here I was trying to do one of the most innocent and noble things a man can do, provide for his family. To do this I chose an avenue that would allow me to help others have the same freedom I sought. I didn't call people cold. I was calling people who asked for the information. In time, if you persist, you learn to brush those ones off. Nevertheless, when you reach out to genuinely try to help someone and they lash out at you, it hurts.

Most new people in the industry will not survive that rejection very long. But that's the way we do it right? There isn't a better way, is there?

I used to think that, and then someone told me about postcards. I heard that they generate a HUGE response......20-30%. People calling YOU. I had to try it. Sure enough, it worked. A couple days after I mailed the post cards, call after call after call after call would come in. People calling me. I was hooked. Never again would I HAVE to call a list of leads and get people screaming at me for calling them.

So just what is it about postcard marketing that is so powerful? Well, I'd say it's a combination of

Using your traffic reporting tool to your advantage
Written by Rak-Wholesale.com, on 23-03-2008 23:54

Whether you own your domain or not, where ever your business is hosted on the web, you probably have access to a very powerful tool - web traffic analysis. Many webmasters and publishers too often overlook the power that lies in the information gathered via web statistics reporting, checking the stats on a regular basis only to see how many 'hits' they have gotten for a given period of time.

If that is your 'strategy' you are probably passing up on some critical knowledge. Knowledge you could harness to custom tailor your content to get visitors coming back, and keeping them on your site longer.

So, what does it matter where your visitors clicked, how they found your various content areas, and at what point they left? If you are successful at getting the traffic to your site, but not all that successful at keeping it, keep reading.
