One of the major questions that is asked when someone decides to start with article marketing is, how can you make a profit with articles? Well, the answer is simple. You post an article to a directory with a link back to a website that you own and put some sort of monetization on that site. Then, when a visitor comes from the article you wrote they purchase a product or click on an ad and you get paid. The best ways to get more visitors and make more money is with these top article marketing tips.
1. Write Useful Content
Too many article marketers have stopped actually writing. They just put out whatever garbage they can or have someone that doesn’t even speak very good English write articles for them. They are trying to turn it into a numbers game and figure the more articles they put out the more visitors they will get. However, when you write useful content that the reader will actually like you have a better chance of converting them into a buyer and not just a one-time buyer, but a lifetime buyer from you. This is how you really make good money with article marketing.
2. Write A Compelling Resource Box
The best article marketing tips all have to do with the resource box because this is where your link to your website is going to be. The article marketing tips also will tell you that a call to action is necessary in the resource box. This is when you tell someone to do something. Basically this has been tested over and over and 90% of the time if you tell someone to do something they will simply do it. This can be as simple as “click here” or “go here”. These are all call to action phrases that work great in a resource box.
3. Use More Than One Directory
There are some that make a living just submitting to one article directory, but the best article marketing tips will tell you that you should at least submit to a handful of different directories. There are about 5 to 10 that have a good pull with top search engines and give you the best chances of getting your article on the top for the keyword phrase you have decided to target. Take advantage of this and pick a handful of the top directories to submit to.…

Partner up. While many of us choose to go into business for ourselves, by ourselves, partnering up has huge benefits for your staging business. You may being thinking “but then I’ll be splitting the income with someone else!” When you work with another stager, you are adding someone to brainstorm with, an extra pair of hands on the big jobs, and the ability to create even more income by doubling your marketing efforts. Many clients see a staging team as more successful, and more able to respond to their needs. Whether you choose to formally partner up, or create specific joint ventures to snag larger accounts, a partner could be just thing to jump-start your staging business right now.
Expand your services. You’ve done your training, you may have a strong portfolio already, but you’d like to ramp up your business and increase your income. As more stagers come into the market every day, a savvy stager looks for ways to attract new clients, and build the business. With a stager’s training and experience you can easily approach stores in your area to offer display services. Many small stores would love to have a display consultant come to the store once a month or more to give the store a fresh look. Watch for new offices, and office relocations, in your area for opportunities to provide set-up services. Networking with commercial real estate professionals can give you an inside line on these opportunities. There are many other ways to expand your services.
Postcard marketing. There are numerous, and inexpensive, postcard printers that can provide you with a memorable marketing tool. I have had great success in using those postcards as a calling card, and marketing leave-behind at real estate offices, and other target market hot-spots. While mailing postcards can get pricey, these glossy cards are much more effective than a simple business card (and can be passed along to home sellers by the real estate agents.)
Volunteer your services. If you aren’t already doing this, now is a great time to start. Find compatible organizations that could use your services. Your assistance may not be in the form of traditional staging, but perhaps helping to spruce up and organize a tired office, assist with decor and set-up in a project for Habitat for Humanity or similar organization. In addition to the reward of helping others, volunteering your services gives you visibility and can lead to unexpected connections. Career days in local schools, or job shadows, are also a great way to give back to your community while increasing your presence.
Set up a Facebook Fan Page for your business. If you already have a personal Facebook page, you’re halfway there. Setting up a Fan Page on Facebook is relatively easy. It’s important to set up a Fan Page as soon as possible so that you can direct clients and vendors to the Fan Page, not your personal profile page. There are many tutorials on the internet with information on setting …

There are many techniques out there, and I want to share with you some of my favorite ways to get more sales from the ClickBank products that I sell.
Here’s strategy number 1:
1) Generate leads
It’s going to be a tough sale if you lead someone directly to your sales letter page. If you want to have success, you will want to lead your prospect to your squeeze page, generate a lead, and then follow up on them until they buy. This is like the universal standard of selling anything successfully on the internet.
The more leads you generate, the more sales you will receive. Plus, the longer you email your prospect down the line, the more likely they are to buy your products also – even if it’s 5 months down the line. You have to be persistent with your marketing efforts if you want to see sales coming in from your email marketing efforts.
Here’s another strategy for increase your ClickBank affiliate sales:
2) Send them to a “pre-sell” page
A “pre-sell” page is simply a webpage that is design to teach you about the pros and cons of a particular ClickBank product. Typically they are like product reviews – with the review ending with you favoring and approving the ClickBank product at hand. a lot of people do this right, and a lot of people do this wrong.
Sometimes you will have to compare the product to other products out there on the marketplace, and show them a comparison about how much easier it is to choose the product that you recommend, because it beats the other products incredibly. This can be a great strategy if you know how to do it right.
These 2 strategies for earning more money with ClickBank as an affiliate are things that you will want to take to heart and start using right away. You can totally turn your business around this way, and you can start seeing more sales and profits coming in sooner rather than later.
Good luck with using these tips …

It is of great magnitude to have a powerful list of targeted potential customers in order to accomplish your goal of making surefire money out of your internet marketing efforts. List building can never be effective if you won’t use a combining method for the realization of your ideals.

Tip # 1 – Finding websites and article directories is not enough. You have to find article sites within your niche that has a strong impact on the prospects that you are targeting to be your own clients in the near future. Choose the top article directories with your intention to make a strong push for the success of your article marketing endeavors.
Tip # 2 – Never request readers to subscribe to your products or service. If you do this, there is a great chance that you would “shoo” them away from you and what you are trying to promote. What you need to do is to tell them why they need to subscribe. In a very strong but powerful statement, tell them what benefits will they obtain once they subscribe. This should always be part of your resource box.
Tip # 3 – Let your readers crave for more from you. This is one of the most effective article marketing strategy because a reader hungry for complete information would eventually become a buyer so as to get the information that she wants. This is the reason why you should not mention all the answer to some questions in your free article.…

Hi everyone! It’s one great day in my side of the world, I hope you’re having the same.
I just came from an absolutely relaxing weekend. It was totally rejuvenating to spend it with my wife and kids-just chillin’. And now fully recharged, I’m back to work. Throw those difficult tasks and corporate hell right here, baby, coz I’m all fired up and ready to go!
It’s a miracle what an amazing work-free weekend can do to the body and mind. A day or R and R just releases all tension away. Think of your stressed-out body as a burlap sack full of potatoes. After a leisurely day or two spent to do with as you will, imagine all the potatoes rolling out and the sack goes from being taut to totally limp.
Here’s another scenario. Think of the burlap sack as already full. But you keep on adding more potatoes. What will become of it? Of course, it will eventually rip and tear. You might still be able to sew it together, but it won’t be the same sturdy burlap sack you first had.
This is a crazy, stress-filled world that we live in. We are constantly harassed to accomplish things by the end of each work day. Most of the time, we bring it upon ourselves when we focus too much on work and leave family and recreation in the back seat. The sky-high levels of hypertension and other stress-related diseases and psychological illnesses have reached dismal levels in this country that the lengths we go to subject our bodies to such tortures are beyond my comprehension.
Our human bodies are like that sack. It needs to recharge, rejuvenate. If it doesn’t, it’s going to tear apart and while putting it back together again is possible, it won’t be as good as it was before it broke down.
You’ve got to be adamant about setting a day or two away from work. Working online at our own pace gives us Internet marketers more flexibility than others in this regard. Whether it be a weekday or a weekend, you’ve got to treat your rest day/s sacred. Go for a massage. Spend time playing with your kids. Dance. Sing. Chase butterflies. Swim. Take pictures. Do whatever relaxes you.
Only when you’ve taken time out will you be able to fully engage yourself and be productive in work again. Ideas that you wouldn’t normally be able to think of under times of duress will flow ceaselessly. Trust me.
Your success hinges on the value you put on rest.
To YOUR Success,

If you’re marketing online there is no reason at all not to have an email list. You don’t need your own product to sell to grow and profit from your own list. All you need is an autoresponder system and a way for people to optin to your list from your web site.
In fact, building a list before having your own product can be pretty cool as you instantly have a list of targeted prospects for your offer once you finish your product and it’s ready to go to market.
In the meantime, you can make money online by sending out quality offers to your list as an affiliate.
Money Making Key – having a list of people interested in your topic, that trust you and see you as an expert in the field (or someone who can point them in the right direction) will allow you to grow a profitable, successful, long-term business online.
1. Bribe ‘Em!
You have to get them on your list, right? This isn’t 1998 when email was new and all you had to do was offer a free email newsletter. People are overwhelmed nowadays with email they don’t want.
So you need to offer something for free, that is QUALITY information, in the form of a short report, autoresponder series, audio or video, based on the topic that they are interested in learning more about.
If you give them quality information, they will be more likely to trust you and buy from you when you do recommend something that costs money.
2. Make ‘Em Pay First! – List size doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t make you money. One way to grow a quality list is to make them pay first! Offer something of high quality at a low price of $5 or $10.
You’ll get a lot less people to optin. The major upside is that everyone that gets on your list has already proven they are willing buyers and that’s ultimately what you want.
3. Make it Easy for ‘Em! – Don’t hide your optin box! If you run a blog or content site place an optin form in your side navbar AND at the beginning or end (or both) of every article or blog post!
4. Test Test Test! – You gotta constantly test your offer. Keep trying new ways to get people on your list to improve your conversion rate.
The more visitors you can convert to subscribers the more money you can make from your list (you should be testing your offers once they are on your list as well).…

If you want to see your business survive, you need a powerful marketing strategy. Anything that you can do to effectively promote your products and services are a good step in the right direction. Now notice that I said “promote your products and services” as opposed to “promote your business”. There’s a distinct difference between the 2, and I want to share with you some of these differences.
When you promote your business, you’re relying on a form of brand advertising. With brand advertising, you’re wasting thousands of dollars trying to convince the public that you’re a major corporation. But you should know that it’s not about convince people that you’re a big company. What it all boils down to is whether or not you can compel your prospects to become a new customer.
When you promote your products and services, you take an entirely different approach to marketing your business. Instead of focusing on your brand and what you stand for, you’re going at the precise problem that your prospects are having. This is known as “target marketing”, and it’s something that you will want to learn how to do if you want to have success in your business.
With target marketing, you’re taking a direct path towards selling to an individual prospect. What this means is that you’ll spend less money marketing, and spend more time on those prospects who are ready and willing to do business with you. Target marketing is something that I recommend, and it’s something that you should start doing today.
Now that we’ve covered “target marketing”, let’s take a look at a technique that is sure to put you in the “profitable” category. Here’s the technique:
– Television advertising
If you are going to do television advertising, then you should really start to learn about direct marketing. You see you can’t make your entire TV ad all about building your brand. You have only about 30 seconds to make your pitch, and to get people to order from you right away.
TV advertising on a national scale can become quite expensive, so it’s best if you stick to local area advertising only. For some franchise businesses, they don’t have to worry about TV advertising because headquarters run these ads for them automatically. But since you’re a “little guy”, you will more than likely want to stick with direct response advertising.
In your TV ad, make sure your website and phone number are obviously displayed. You don’t have that much time to get your message across. You have to imagine your visitor with the remote in their hand, ready to click to another channel. It’s your job to make these visitors stay on your TV ad, so that you can convince them on taking action on your free offer of some sort.
And by the way, when running television ads, attempt to generate a lead. This way you’ll build yourself up a nice list of people that you can market to over and over …

If you have an opt-in email list, then you have taken the right step towards making your business successful. If you want to stay in business online, you will have to keep a close look at what it takes for you to remain competitive in your niche, and also what it takes to make your email subscribers happy.
There are a lot of list building strategies out there that a lot of online marketers don’t know about. This is particularly true when it comes to newbies. But list building is something that you will want to do if you want to have a booming and thriving online business. And in today’s lesson, this is exactly what I will focus on.
I want to share with you a few ways that you can build up your email list so that you can market to them over and over again. These techniques are simple and easy to use, and I think that you can benefit from knowing what they are. In fact, here’s the first list building technique that you can use in your business:
1) Use Twitter
You can use Twitter to get a lot of leads into your email marketing funnel. With Twitter, you can get leads for free, and you can get a lot of people visiting your website just off of this one technique alone. This is something that is incredibly easy to do, and you will want to add it to your marketing arsenal today if you haven’t already.
There are a lot of sites out there that you can use to totally improve your Twitter marketing strategy. 3 great sites that I know of are: Twellow, Twibes, and Social Oomph. All of these of 3 these sites can get you the leads you need to have success with your internet marketing campaign.
Twitter is an excellent way to gather new leads, and the best part about it is that it’s free. As your Twitter follower count grows, more and more people will comment on your posts and your page, and you can easily interact with your followers. This is also a great way to build a relationship with your list. Here’s another tip for building your email list:
2) Use Facebook
Facebook is the number 2 ranked website on the internet in terms of website traffic, so you can definitely benefit from using this website to boost your email list count simply and easily. Many people are using Facebook to do their marketing with, because they think it’s a great way to get to know their Facebook fans, and to lead them back to their website where they can buy something.
Facebook is a great website if you want to get more new opt-in email subscribers. Soon people will “like” you on Facebook. Then they will sample your information. Then they will click back to your website. And then they will opt-in to your email newsletter, or even buy something from you. This is absolutely a …

If you want to make more money in your business, one great way of doing it is with television advertising. TV advertising is something that a lot of business owners attempt to do, but only a few of them have success with it. If you would like to propel and take your business to the next level, then I think TV advertising would be in your best interest.
Why do I recommend TV advertising? Well simply because it works. There are all kinds of business owners in my city who are using TV to promote their products and services. And they do have a special technique for making it work for them. It’s all within the marketing approach when they come across your ad.
You see television advertising is merely regular advertising – but it’s just on TV, and not in print. So you should practice the same principles of direct response marketing when putting your pitch on the TV screen. Direct response simply means that instead of brand advertising and “getting your name out there”, you’re holding your advertising accountable and are testing and tracking your results.
But before you run your first ad on TV, you should do your homework. Find out which competitors have run TV ads in the past, and who are running these ads now. You want to see which business owners are still running their TV ads, because more than likely, if they’re running it for a long time, more than likely it’s being successful for them. So this is something that you will want to look at.
Once you’ve determined which advertisers in your niche are having success with their TV advertising, you want to emulate the successful parts of their ad. This means that you should find the best points about their ads as possible, all while making your ad unique. This is a classic form of doing your homework.
So what should you say in your television ad? Well you want to have a strong introduction, a strong story or sales message, and a powerful close. Your goal is to keep your viewers “locked in” to what they are saying, and to prevent them from turning the channel on you.
One thing that you will want to make sure of is to offer more than one mode of response. Include your website address, phone number, and fax, and even mailing address. You never know which way your prospect wants to respond to you. So offer more than one way to contact you.
Television advertising is everywhere nowadays. They’re 30-second to 1-minute ads in the day time, and then 30-minute infomercials that come on late at night. You should make it a point to study these ads and see what makes them so successful.
If you can follow out this plan, your chances of business success will put you on top of the pile. Trust me, I would know. I’ve seen tons and tons of people have success with television advertising, and …
