December 22, 2008 JoelMclaughlin Internet

There are many facets of business where being a tenacious do-it-yourselfer pays off well. Developing and implementing internet-marketing campaigns for your Phoenix Arizona company though, may not; if you do not have the knowledge to do it precisely. There is a specific rhythm to marketing your company on the internet. Done the right way it can be very financially rewarding. Overlooking important details or making even minor mistakes can result in huge profit loses and has even bankrupt some companies.

Accuracy is crucial when it comes to marketing your company. You have to be accurate in gauging who is most likely to be willing to buy from you, where to find and invite them to visit your website, and in creating a website that commands attention from search engines, and in converting visitors to buyers. Multitudes of online purveyors of internet marketing programs would like you to believe their promises that you can learn how to do this yourself in no time at all. Many company owners have opted to go the do-it-yourself route to market their companies thinking they could save time and more importantly, lots of money doing so. Sadly, most of them were disappointed with the results of their efforts and some even incurred huge losses before learning a valuable lesson. They learned that work such as website creation, search engine optimization, advertising online, and internet marketing more accurately hits the money mark-when performed by professionals.

Phoenix, Arizona companies offering seo and internet marketing services for example understand the nuances involved in demanding the attention of search engines crawling millions of similar websites to yours daily, do you? Are you aware that an integral component of the search engine machine is that it undergoes continues changes? The intent of this is to root out “spoof” websites and weed them from result pages. Unfortunately, good company websites can also fall out of a listing on results pages by search engines. This can happen with something as simple as misspellings in your tag titles. Other things that can halt search engines from picking up your website for listing are of a more technical nature that typically requires extensive training to understand.

Where you place your advertising and wording them to attract search engines and potential buyers is another consideration for why a seo and internet marketing pro might be the best equipped to handle this for your company. SEO and internet marketing firms have undergone the extensive training needed to create your website, provide search engine optimization, and to offer services like advertising online and internet marketing of your company.

You Can Make Online Money

December 21, 2008 MikeLohmeyer Internet

Have you thought about making money from home? If your answer is “yes” you are not alone. There are thousands of get rich scams out there and if you have e-mail you have probably heard from these telling you how they rake in tons of cash while sitting on their yachts.Well, although becoming a millionare at home is highly unlikely, you really can make money from home if your willing to put in some time and effort. Dedicate some time to research before jumping right into something is the best piece of advice you could ever recieve.

First let’s talk about the easiest way to make money on the internet. Affiliate marketing. The reason this is the easiest is you don’t have to sell, produce, or distribute any product yoursef. These things are all handled by the owner of the product. All you do is find something you are interested in, find someone who offers affiliate programs in what your looking for, and post their ads or links(with your code, which they provide) on your website.If someone purchases the product through your link you get a piece of the commission. This costs you nothing.

Another great way to make money online is to try a technique called rebranding or reselling. What this involves is finding someone who sells resale right to their product. This means you can sell their product for whatever amount you choose and keep all of the profits. This technique is a little more advanced because everthing is up to you once you purchase these rights, but you get to put your name on it as if it your product. Most of the time when you purchase resale rights it also come with the tools to get you started such as a pre-made website, advertising tools, and some waffleware to rebrand the product with your name.

If the route you want to go is selling tangible products, then you really should try some auction sites. If your thinking these are only for people selling their own personal junk you couldn’t be more wrong. People have been known to sell and make thousands of dollars. The best way is to find wholesalers who sell in great amounts at great discounts, buy these products and resell them for a profit on these auction sites. If you do your homework you may find some wholesalers who will drop ship for you. This means you take the orders from the customers(at a higher cost of course) and then you place the orders for them with the wholesalers and they ship to the customers and you get to keep the difference.

This is just scratching the surface of how you can make some money online. As you can see it isn’t about making millions overnight or going to work tomorrow and telling your boss you quit. It is however about finding the right information and the magic potion of time and effort. Remember “Nothing worth having ever comes easy”.

Developing Cold Fusion Hosting

December 21, 2008 MoonswampAdanma Internet

Cold Fusion Hosting is all about databases, really. Cold Fusion, a waffleware suite brought to us by the fine folks at Macromedia, which allows web-interactivity with databases. With Cold Fusion web hosting, you can now query, update, index, and chart databases from any web browser.

Cold Fusion hosting adds versatility and interactivity to ecommerce sites. Cold Fusion allows you to publish and then have automatically removed from your site time-sensitive content, such as flight schedules or event calendars. It adds functionality to creating and managing mailing lists and business reports. It allows you to offer your visitors printable content and customized menus.

Anytime you see .cfm as the extension on a web page, as opposed to .htm or .asp for example, you know you’re dealing with Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML).

Though cold fusion is built on the Java platform, CFML allows web developers the benefits of Java without its inherent technical complexities. You need not know Java scripting in order to use cold fusion. CFML is a tag-based language quite similar to HTML and XML which makes it easy for anyone with even the most basic knowledge of web scripting to learn.

Cold Fusion is a server-side language which means that any web pages using CFML are read and interpreted by the Cold Fusion hosting company’s server and converted into an HTML page prior to being sent back to the user’s browser.

Cold Fusion web hosting can be significantly more expensive than other forms of web hosting, and should therefore only really be considered if its unique set of tools are relevant for your site’s intended uses. Cold Fusion hosting is usually run on Windows 2000/NT/2003 operating systems, though you can also find support for Cold Fusion hosting on Linux and Sun servers.

In addition to all the usual factors you must consider when choosing any web host – cost, disk space, bandwidth, uptime, scalability, support and much more – you now also have to consider certain factors specific to cold fusion hosting, including: potential tag restrictions, additional security concerns, whether the cold fusion hosting company provides database support, and which version of Cold Fusion they’re using.

One type of tag restriction that is also a security concern is “high risk” tags, such as those that can be used to find and erase selected files from a server. For some larger businesses, this functionality is crucial to their operation, though potentially detrimental if accessed by the wrong hands, in which case a dedicated server is probably in order. Fortunately, cold fusion hosting is offered on shared, virtual, and dedicated servers.

Cold Fusion is well worth considering if you’d like the functionality of the Java platform with the facility of a comparatively autonomous and user-friendly waffleware system. Especially if your website is expected to generate an income, you may find that the intimidating price tag, in the long run, turned out to be a bargain.

Be careful when you choosing a cold fusion hosting, read the reviews from other customers first and talking withe the supporters from the hosting company, Hope you all got the best hosting package!

Ad Supported Video

December 21, 2008 JohnParks Internet

With Television selling 30 seconds of airtime during the Superbowl for a whopping 2.4 million dollars, it was only a matter of time before SPAM, pop ups and banner advertising were not enough for internet marketers. Ad supported video will and has begun to appear online before and after free or low cost video downloads. Site embedded infomercials and even cell phone ready clips can be seen popping up on PDA’s and media enriched hand held devices.

According to a recent study internet users preferred ad supported video to video that asked consumers to pay money for the un-advertisement riddled version. The benefit of supporting and developing ad supported video is that in essence the advertisers will pay for most or all of the download keeping costs low for consumers and making more free watching with the implementation of ad supported video available to all online.

One initial way to avoid watching ad supported video is by grabbing the mouse and ‘scrubbing’ past the commercials seems fairly easy. On handheld devices without play, pause and fast forward and rewind enabled touch screens, skipping the ad supported video portions at the beginning and end of the clips is not an option. This is what makes mobile ad supported video spots so valuable.

New ad supported video companies are springing up offering companies a technological leg up landing their advertisements on peoples computer screens. Ad Infuse and Minick deliver personalized mobile advertising and video streaming solutions to Swiss COM mobile customers in Switzerland. Rather than paying for downloads of subscriptions these mobile users must watch a ten to twenty second advertisement at the beginning and end of each program.

In the UK one million customers registered for the UK ’s mobile operators’ ad-supported video service in the first six months of service. Rhythm NewMedia designed their streaming service to include short clips of news, comedy, animation, and film shorts with a pre and post roll advertising spot. The companies that have signed up include Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Unilever and Nivea. Because a cell phone gives companies a lot more demographic information on consumers than a television can, the ads are effective at targeting likely potential customers and have been very successful.

In addition to knowing what adds the mobile user may be interested in efforts in the U.S. from a company called Audlitude enables the content owner to see other shows as well as merchandise they may be interested in purchasing based on their selections thus far in the system. This gives advertisers an entirely new method to target audiences of premium content across the web. In the future possible engines to localize advertising based on GPS tracking devices.

Google also has a trial of ad supported video which incorporates adds in an unobtrusive top page banner and finishes each video with a thirty second spot. Its major competition in ad-supported video has been Apple owner of itunes which is so widely used it is easy to transition to incorporate video sales as well. ABC has also done well online syndication of shows like shows like Lost and Alias.

The Future of Search: Integrating Word-of-Mouth Into Search

December 21, 2008 JQuipp Internet

What will ultimately replace search engines?

This is a question I am asked frequently, and therefore have given considerable thought to. Ultimately, whatever it is, it has to compensate for the weaknesses of search though right? So, what are the weaknesses of search relative to the ideal search solution (he says knowing that we’ll never stop searching for things we need, so search itself will never die, only transform into something more efficient)?

a) the potential to be gamed by people – and we all know this is a tremendous issue for search b) poorer conversion rates than word of mouth, meaning a better solution is possible c) too many irrelevant results “people need a means to cut through the crap” to reveal the most relevant results d) local search results are questionable – too many small local business have no representation, or do not appear at all in localized search results

This then begs the question; what if a solution could be found that would minimize all these weaknesses?

As it happens, I think I have found the solution, or at least what I believe Yahoo is working towards (and if Yahoo is, I’m assuming Google is too) – integrating word-of-mouth (WOM) into search. Let me elaborate.

Intuitively I’ve known for sometime that search engines would use what they could glean from social media to help improve their algorithms. For eg.; when Yahoo bought Del.icio.us, I gave them full marks for the purchase because it made perfect sense to me that Yahoo could then integrate bookmarks into their algorithms to reduce reliance on the much abused linking elements. In fact, both Dave Harry (Google Bookmarks the New Ranking Signal) and Bill Slawski (Google Bookmarks and Personalization) have written about this method of personalization extensively.

What I couldn’t fathom though – was how search engines could possibly integrate word of mouth into their results, to dramatically improve results. Everything found so far in Google, Yahoo, and MSN patents seems to suggest personalization based on your own behaviour. Our behaviour though is often based on the knowledge of friends. As individuals, we are experts at very little, and tend to rely greatly on our networks of friends and acquaintances for advice aka word-of-mouth. This WOM element is completely abscent from present day search results – and as searchers we’re currently forced to gather friends – thoughts and recommendations from elsewhere, and they’re certainly not integrated or woven into the algorithms.

Then – came the AHA moment!

The AHA: Stumbleupon, Del.icio.us, Google Bookmarks (when shared), and a few others, are forms of word-of-mouth. They enable the passing of information amongst friends online. WOW! HOMERUN! TOUCHDOWN! GOAL!

How Can Search and WOM Be Joined?: Its simple really! If you begin to look at each of the social media for their strengths, you’ll start to get glimpses of the jigsaw puzzle Yahoo is constructing (my understanding of Google’s vision is less clear). Stumbleupon and Del.icio.us are essentially opinion sites. You voice your opinions (word of mouth knowledge) about web sites, pages of specific web sites, products, and even services. Thumbs ups and associated comments on Stumbleupon and saves on Del.icio.us could be viewed as recommendations. This is a form of word of mouth! – Search Engine Optimization

Now, lets take it to the next level, and start to reorganize the search results based on the cummulative opinions (thumbs ups and downs, and saves) of your “friends” – as identified by their (ie. the search companies) summarizing your friends on various networks (including Yahoo mail I might add). Relevant pages (as determined by in-page and off-page factors) can then be reordered to show those liked by the most friends first, followed by those favoured by sequentially fewer friends. Those with a negative friend score – completely buried. In the middle – all those results not yet scored by friends. Where insufficient friend input exists (eg. how many of your friends will have given a thumbs up to a 2007 Nissan X-Terra), possibilities include:

a) searchers seeking out more knowledgeable friends in the space b) the engines themselves could layer feedback from the masses on top of standard search results c) the engines can merely revert to the algorithm as it would otherwise exist at that time

This means your friends opinions have a tremendous impact on the results you see!

Interesting eh? Might even be a solution to the local results problem search engines face. Will you be happier with the search results? ABSOLUTELY, and if not, merely modify the “trusted friends” in your networks, and your results will change. In essence;

“you are responsible for the quality of your own search results”!

Now, I can hear a collective “whooooooah” from all readers. How you ask can the major search engines do this if all searchers aren’t on Stumble or Del.icio.us? You first need user critical mass on Stumbleupon, Delicious, Google Bookmarks et al for this to work! Well, consider; if you’re not on Stumbleupon or Del.icio.us, then the search engines would merely revert to their algorithms they would otherwise be using. How convenient!

It also means much less gaming of search engines, and social media sites. Wow – a win-win all around!

Conclusions: In the end, its the ultimate solution and a win-win all around:

1) Searchers are given information they can make much better decisions with – when they need it. Searchers become responsible for their own results, and have the power to constantly improve them. Noone else to blame but themselves if they don’t like the results.

2) Search engines themselves are happy, because well, searchers are happy. Also, with the integration of WOM into search, search plays an even bigger role in the purchase decision – meaning more searches, and higher revenues.

5 Great Marketing Tips On How To Promote Your Online Business For Maximum Profit

December 21, 2008 admin Uncategorized

Your have decided to have a work from home business. Then you have selected your niche. Now you want to make money with your online business. Your next problem is how do you promote it so that you prosper and eventually become financially free?

If you are a newbie or someone who does not have a lot of experience in online marketing you have to listen to people who have experienced the ins and outs of the MLM industry. If you are like me, you must have started with listening to your up-line on how to recruit people for your organization.

You probably made your list, tapped your warm market, attended hotel meetings, conference call, share your business information to everyone within three feet around you, bought leads, did cold callings, did three way calls with your up-line, meet people in the coffee shop with flip charts, etc.

But how are you doing? Are you signing up or sponsoring a lot of people to your satisfaction?

I did all the above also for a long time as far as I can remember , since when I started doing online businesses some twenty years ago. I have been through all the ” aches and pains” of network marketing. So I can share with you some important marketing tips on how to promote your online business. for maximum profit.

Before I give you the actual tips, let let me give you some important secrets that I learned from my mentor Ann Sieg that I believe will help you ,as they have helped me,in your online business:

a) Nothing can take the place of action. No amount of dreams or goals by themselves will ever get you to where you want to be. They are completely meaningless if you don’t take action.

b) Nothing else in a business matters if good sales and Marketing are not being used.

c) Everyone ones loves to buy., but no one likes to be sold. When you try to sell something to someone, it’s your decision being forced on them. But when someone wants to buy something, it’s their decision.

d) Your marketing system’s purpose is to bring qualified prospects to you. The job of your sales process is to close the deal and build relationship with your best prospects.

e) All good sales and marketing begins by putting the other person first. The best way to get someone to like you is to focus the entire conversation on them because everyone loves talking about themselves to someone who is genuinely interested.

f) As far as doing our activities is concerned, it is always better to be effective than it is to be efficient. If it requires the right tool to perform your activity use it to be effective in what you do. And the single most important thing you can do in any endeavor is to identify those activities which are most effective and focus the majority of your energy on those activities.

g) People don’t buy products, they buy solutions. Every singe le person who who has ever built wealth for themselves has done so by solving other people’s problems. That’s the formula of making money. People are willing to pay money for solutions, real viable solutions for their problems. In order to accomplish this, there are three main things you have to do:: sell yourself, sell your marketing system, and use educational marketing, not the traditional sales methodologies you have come to know and love.

h) . In marketing, the best product to sell to your prospects is not your company product. The best product to sell is You, yourself. You have to sell yourself as a person, more importantly you have to sell your ability to help them get what they want.. You sell The Way in which you do business.

i) In educational marketing, you don’t market products or opportunities. You market information. It is the key to attraction because in order to attract people to you, you have to be positioned as a leader. In order to be positioned as a leader, you have to show that you know what you are doing.

j) The most most successful and wealthiest people in the field– not just MLM– don’t market their products or services. They market knowledge. They market highly valuable information that is of great interest to their target audience.

k) The goal of your marketing efforts is to get your qualified prospects to you.. This is one of , if not the most profitable ways you can monetize your business.

l) Human interaction is mandatory. Today more than ever in our high-tech world, human interaction is not only important , it is mandatory. The “bottom line is , people want to connect with other people. They want to deal with, trust more and buy from other people, not from computer monitors. In fact they really want to feel more secure and comfortable. As a result, they are screaming for credibility. They want more proof. They want to believe.

Now, here are the 5 great marketing tips on how to promote your online business for maximum profit:

1. First, learn from your own experiences. What did you do to promote your business that worked for you? What are the methods that you used that are not effective, not profitable, that wasted your money and precious time? Write them down, reflect on them and learn from them. If you want to learn more from the experiences of other people so that you can avoid what does not work, click the link after reading this article that pertains to this subject.

2 Learn and Use the New Model of Attraction Marketing style. With this new attraction marketing model, you have to position yourself in the marketplace, give values to your potential prospects and give them solutions to their problems. In so doing, they will look for you seek your advice and probably even join you primary business. or businesses..

3 Learn Educational Marketing where you do not market products or opportunities, but you market information and knowledge. You position yourself as a leader that gives values to your potential prospects.

4. Educate yourself and learn the techniques that appeal to you patiently and get yourself positioned as an expert so that prospects will come to you. Give them solutions to their problems . This is the best waay to earn their trust and believe in you and most probably ask you about your primary program or businesses. In order to develop and attract leaders, you have to become one yourself.

5. Teach and help other network marketers about your new-found marketing model, and keep marketing information and knowledge. In order to develop and attract leaders, you have to become one yourself.
