How To Run An Effective PPC Campaign

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:07:00 -0800

Using pay per click advertising is essential for any business looking to make money online. There are a number of factors that determine the success or failure of any AdWords campaigns.

In this article, I cover many of the basics associated with effective PPC advertising. Keep in mind that Google isn't the only provider of online advertising. None-the-less, Google AdWords is certainly the most popular.

Any good online campaign begins with clear objectives. Are you promoting your business? Asking users to fill out a form? Buy from a jump page? As they say, begin with the end in mind.

Once you've established the purpose of your campaign, keep in mind that the number of people seeing your online advertising depends on how well you've chosen your keywords. If you choose a set of unpopular keywords to trigger your PPC advertisement then you shouldn't expect your advertising to be shown very often.

Google AdWords provides a traffic estimator as a feature that can give you a sense of expected traffic. You should use this to determine your possible out of pocket costs and what you should expect to spend on a daily basis.

The most important elements of a Google AdWords campaign include:

• Keyword choice. Generally speaking the more targeted, the better. You'll get less clicks but they will be people who specifically want your product or service.
• Advertising headline and text. The headline is the most important of these. Make sure it relates to the keywords you are bidding on - this will help keep the cost of your advert down.
• Display URL. The more relevant this appears to be to the keywords you're bidding on, the better.
• Landing page URL. This needs to be relevant to your keywords and advert. If you're bidding on Britney Spears then you shouldn't be sending people to a page about nuclear physics. It's not relevant and Google will penalize you by charging a lot more for your clicks.
• Per-click Budget. How much are you willing to pay per click? Determine what you are willing to pay per conversion (lead or purchase) and estimate how many visitors it will take for a single conversion.
• Daily Budget. The amount of money you are willing to spend in a 24 hour period. Keep in mind that if you're making money, it's okay to spend money.

These are just some of the basics associated with creating a successful AdWords campaign. The truth of the matter is that being truly successful with Google AdWords takes knowledge and experience. The more you work with pay per click advertising, the better results you'll have.

There are tons of books, ebooks, and tools that are available online to help you succeed with your advertising. I recommend picking one up and learning about the components of a successful campaign. That said, nothing can replace the actual experience you get from running your own pay-per-click campaigns. It's easy to open an account on Google AdWords and costs very little to start. So don't delay and start building real world experience.

Making Money Online Anonymously

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:41:00 -0800

first up...

A big fat PR0 - yup - the big G finally slapped me good. Why?

Well when all your pages are reduced to the big goose egg it is usually a sign that they perceive you to be selling links. Am I selling links? Nope. But I can see how they might get the idea based on the amount of links I have on my homepage. I could write them and plead my case - I have a lot of friends and all my links are legit but I'm not going to. I have said this for ages - pagerank has nothing to do with serp rankings and perhaps dominating the MMO niche with a big fat PR0 site will get my point across in spades. For those who were concerned my serp rankings haven't changed and the SE traffic is still pouring in.

How this happened is likely the result of some "friend" who reported the site as selling links. You will find that dominating a popular niche is a constant battle with competitors and they will do whatever it takes to unseat you.

Which brings me back to keeping anonymous online. Yes I know this goes against every blogger's deepest desire - to get famous. The thing is I'm not a blogger - I'm an internet marketer and my goal is to make money. You make money by flying under the radar and I want to give you all a prime example of what I mean.

I don't post often. I get a lot of emails asking me to post more. There is a reason for not posting (aside from being lazy)... I make more money not posting.

Huh... wtf you say.

Tis' true... let me show you what I mean.

Some Adsense Secrets

This has taken a long time to decipher and I'm still not convinced that I have it right so don't take this as gospel but...

3000 ad impressions a day seems to be a magic number with Google.

The screenshot below shows my Adsense income for January (for this blog only) - the January 18 (today) total is not final as it shows my earnings early in the day when I took the shot.

After two months of lower than normal earnings (lack of advertiser competition I believe) my January earnings bounced back nicely and until a few days ago were on course for a new high with this blog.

Why A Membership Website Can Explode Your Income

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:57:00 -0800

There are many different ways to make money online. You can sale affiliate products, physical goods, hawk your goods on e-bay or earn money as a freelancer. Only your imagination, knowledge and willingness to take a chance will limit your ability to be successful online. One of the best ways to earn a living online is to start and maintain a membership website. Starting a membership website is one way to multiple the profitability of your efforts. Instead of selling one e-book, a few articles or a product to one person, you are able to take those same “goods” and sell them to more then one person. This means less work and more money.

Let me give you an example. If you are a freelancer writer, you may be able to charge anywhere between $5-$10 for one article (depending on where you advertise, how good you are and the amount of experience that you have. For the purpose of this illustration, let’s say that you charge $5 an article. This means that you would be able to sell 10 articles for $50. On the other hand, if you started a content membership website, you could earn much more money with those same 10 articles. If you charged your members $5 a month for 10 articles and you had 100 members, you would be earning $500 for those same 10 articles instead of $50.

As you can see, it is possible to make a great deal of money by simply starting a membership website. Besides, the profitability, membership websites are pretty easy to start. If you have basic html skills, you can create a sales page and then a download page where your members can access their content and/or products.

You have a few options when it comes to payment processors. Two great choices are Paypal and Clickbank. Both companies allow you to bill your members on a monthly basis. You won’t have to worry about collecting payments, this is done for you. This makes things a ton easier and will prevent a lot of headaches.

There are a bunch of niches that would make for a great membership website. You simply need to find a subject that you believe people would be willing to pay money for. Then deliver top notch information. Some good niches might be centered around people who are battling addictions, want to make money online, are interested in losing weight or homeschooling. Any topic that you believe people would want to learn more about and be willing to pay information for would work.

Next, simply provide them with top notch information. You can create short reports or purchase PLR to products or other content that you think would be well received and add them to your membership website. Also, consider providing leads on discounts, sales or free resources. It is important to update your content on a consistent basis so make sure that you are committed to the process or you will have some angry customers on your hands.

Membership websites are a great way to make good money online. It does not take a great number of members for you to do pretty well for yourself financially. Consider if you charged $15 a month for your membership site and you had 100 members, you would be earning $1500 a month. Now say you created more membership sites, you could easily double or triple this amount. If the workload gets too big, simply outsource your tasks.

Membership sites can be a goldmine. They do however, require commitment and consistency. You have to be able to follow through. However, if you are willing, you can do very well for yourself.

Way to Make Money as a Freelancer

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:23:00 -0800

Freelance writing is a great opportunity for anyone seeking to make money. The great thing about freelance writing is that you can work your own hours. There is no long-term commitment involved and you can pick your own employer. Due to the fact there is always demand for good freelance writers, the good ones receive a lot of assignments and are paid quite well. Some freelance writers especially those who are just starting out, make .01 per word or less, while experienced freelance writers can easily make .10 per word or more.

Here's an example: let's assume that an article consists of 500 words, and if you are getting .10 per word, that's $50 an article. If you can write 4 articles today, that is $200. It's really that simple. Even more so, there are a lot of websites where you can submit your articlces in exchange for a certain amount of money, and you will receive extra commissions if your article becomes popular.

A wise man once said practice makes perfect. This concept is valid when it comes to writing as well. The more you write, the better you get. You will control the language much better. Knowing this, you can easily success when it comes to any job interview, if you'd be interested in something like that. Good writers can use their talents in many places. They can easy score a job as a business salesman, movie writer or journalist. All of these are high paying jobs, definitely something worth keeping in mind. Money does make the world go around, and more and more talented individuals are tempted to pursue this exciting career.

Life is sometimes just like a popularity contest. Writers are often good in conversations. When you can use the language more effectively, you can talk better with people as well and talk about your writing services which convinces potential customers to send work your way.

Being a freelance writer can be considered a full-time job with no commitment. There is simply no better job than this one once you get the hang of things. Being able to work your own hours, write what you want, harness your knowledge and use it to your advantage, get better and still get paid is no job at all. That is more of a childhood fantasy which you can turn into reality. Your life is in your hands. You can work and labor throughout your entire existence and not reap the rewards, but with freelance writing, you see the benefits each day. Simply put, freelance writing is a great opportunity for anyone with a piece of paper, a computer and a dream.

Make A Living Flipping Websites

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:57:00 -0800

Discover The Simple 'Site Flipping' Techniques Dave Hermansen Uses To Make Over $263,000 a year.
He will show you the EXACT SAME proven process he uses to find undervalued websites for CLOSE TO NOTHING, Make Them Over, and sell them for thousands and thousands of dollars...

...and all you have to do is follow the steps one at a time to duplicate his success!

Dear Friend,

My name is Dave Hermansen. You may have seen me recently on Fox Business News or read about me in the New York Times article "Find an Undervalued Asset. Fix It Up. Flip It." However, there's a good chance you've never heard of me before. Let me take a minute to tell you about a few of my accomplishments, so you know how I became an EXPERT in the area of flipping websites.

5 years ago I was broke and scraping to get by. Me and my wife both worked full-time, and I was also going to college as well. Our monthly bills outweighed our monthly income, and it was slowly putting us further and further into debt. My first 2 years online were just a struggle. I had 2 failed web stores, and spent a lot more money than I made.

By late 2005 I finally felt like I had the knowledge and experience needed to make some really good money on the web. From the comfort of my own home in Boise, Idaho, I built a single internet store that made over $400,000 in profit between September 2005 and the end of 2007. During that same 2 year period I bought, refurbished, and sold 10 other websites as well. In all, I've made over $526,000 during that short amount of time. That's not $526,000 in total revenue, that's true profit that went into my pocket.

I've developed a SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP process that is totally repeatable, and makes HUGE PROFITS every time it's applied!

Here's what is important to you:

You don't have to be a business prodigy to do what I've done. In fact 99% of the skills needed are LEARNED SKILLS that anyone can learn and apply.

There are thousands and thousands of websites on the internet just waiting to be 'made over' and flipped for a RIDICULOUS PROFIT.

I have literally flipped websites for 100s of times what I paid for them.

The GREAT NEWS FOR YOU is that I'm going to show you exactly how to take advantage of the situation starting NOW.

The BAD NEWS is that this is URGENT - If you're reading this letter you are one of the lucky ones that have discovered this opportunity - don't let it slip away!

For those that don't jump on this chance - you may be passing up on the best opportunity you'll ever have to make serious money online.

I'm sure you're quite skeptical at this point, but just give me a few minutes of your time to prove what I'm saying is true.

You'll be glad you did!

Here's why it works...

Flipping 'real properties'

We all know about how people make money flipping houses. In fact, most of us have either done it before, or known someone that has done it with at least moderate success. At the very least, you've seen one of the many TV shows about 'flipping houses' for profit. Thousands of people in the US make full-time livings flipping real properties.

Here's how it works: you find an undervalued home in a neighborhood where the average house is worth far more. Then you do some basic repairs and cosmetic improvements before throwing it back on the market at a much higher price than you originally paid.

Flipping 'virtual properties'

Flipping websites is very similar to flipping properties in the real world, the biggest difference being that it takes a lot less of an investment of time and money to flip an internet property. To flip a house, you need to get a loan, hire contractors, pay for materials, etc. To flip a website, you can overhaul it with free (or very cheap) software.

I went the 'virtual property' route!

Mainly because I didn't have much money to invest when I got started, but also because I wanted to work from the comfort of my own home!

Hopefully my accomplishments thus far prove that I discovered a viable way to make great income doing just that! And it's not because I'm an Einstein, ANYONE can implement these techniques.

Here are the techniques I've discovered that make this system work so well:

* How to find an INCREDIBLE NICHE that you can succeed in.
* How to buy an UNDERVALUED DOMAIN NAME to do your eventual flip.
* How to quickly INCREASE TRAFFIC & REVENUE through your website.
* How to sell your website for dozens (or even hundreds) of times what YOU ORIGINALLY PAID.

...All inside of a 2 or 3 month period!

I've spent two years compiling these tips, tricks, and techniques into an EXTREMELY COMPREHENSIVE VIDEO SERIES that shows you exactly how to do what I do. No need to leave your home, you can watch the video series right on the very computer you're reading this letter on.

If you know how to surf the web & use basic programs you are ready to get started! That's really all you need to know how to do to begin working on your own financial freedom today. The step-by-step instructions on this video series are so simple a child could do it!

Most of the techniques I'll show you on these videos are concepts that are right under your nose, but the untrained eye will miss them every time! I'll show you how to identify these opportunities, then how to take advantage of them to your financial benefit. No special skills required, you just need some inside knowledge, and I'm going to give it to you!

Wholesale Suppliers

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:17:00 -0800

Who Else Wants to Get Instant and Unlimited Access to 5,347 Pre-Screened Legitimate Wholesale Suppliers of High Quality Products that Have Decent Profit Margins... Right Now?

Stop spinning your wheels and join one of the largest, safest wholesale communities on the internet. Over 50,000 other online sellers, retailers and bargain hunters have discovered the best place to find legitimate, pre-screened wholesalers, dropshippers, liquidators and manufacturers for every type of product imaginable. Best part: You're only minutes away from getting your hands on it too. Keep reading to find out how...

hope you're paying attention, because what you read in the next seven minutes could save you a whole heap of time, money, and hair-pulling. Heaven knows, these are all precious commodities these days!

You know, I've been in this business for what seems like ages now. I've seen people come and go. I've seen some wonderful successes, and I've also seen people go running back to their day jobs.

Why do some people succeed and others fail?

It's pretty simple. Some people know where to look for advice, and they use the tools that are out there. Others try to re-invent the wheel instead of jumping in the car and driving!

The way I see it, you have two options:

OPTION 1:
Go it alone. You're tough. You're smart. You can figure it out yourself. You'll probably end up being suckered by a few con-artists along the way, but we've all been there and this is all part of the learning experience! Really, what's a couple of thousand dollars to learn a very valuable lesson? Hopefully you'll be lucky and choose a profitable product — many new sellers don't get this right — and even if you don't, you'll learn! Years of trial and error should teach you what works and what doesn't, if you can stick at it. You'll be ok... in time.

OPTION 2:
If you don't have that much time and money to burn — option 2 is the fast-track. It's about skipping the hard-learning and getting straight to the earning.

* Smart advice from people who know what they're talking about.
* All the leg-work already done for you — over 5300 of the world's top suppliers laid out before you.
* That's more suppliers than you're ever going to find in Google, by the way. And these ones are legitimate.
* You can talk to other sellers, people in the same boat as you, and swap notes. This is a very, very smart thing to do.
* You can get all this free training and information and save yourself a whole lot of time searching the web.
* No-nonsense advice from a completely independent authority. Good luck finding such unbiased information anywhere else.

All this is right here in front of you. You just have to pay attention and keep reading.

I hope to see you inside!

Introducing SaleHoo — Not just another wholesale directory! Inside you'll find:

* Over 5,300 of the world's best, legitimate suppliers — all pre-screened and categorized so you can find what you want, fast.
* Suppliers for every type of product imaginable — from electronics, DVDs, lingerie and clothing right through to plumbing supplies, dehumidifiers and baby strollers.
* Suppliers for top brand-name products: GUCCI, SONY, APPLE, D&G, PANASONIC, NIKE, PRADA, LACOSTE, HP and more!
* All types of suppliers — wholesalers, manufacturers, dropshippers, liquidators. Whether you're after just a few items or a thousand, we've got suppliers to suit.
* Constantly updated database means you're not left holding stale information. In this industry suppliers come and go... we have a full-time team of researchers checking and re-checking our information.
* Need international shipping? No problem. A large proportion of our suppliers are happy to ship overseas.
* Low or no minimum order quantities! Not everyone has the purchasing power of a retail giant, so we've researched suppliers who are happy to deal in smaller quantities.

Make Money Talking Surveys

noreply@blogger.com (Terengganu) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:47:00 -0800

“Discover How to Make as Much Money as You
Want, Just By Having an Internet Connection,
Some Spare Time, and an Opinion!”

Your Opinion is Worth Gold To Big Business…and They’re
Ready to Pay You Right Now for Your Time!

This Little-Known Way to Make Easy Money on the Internet is
Helping Thousands of People Just Like You Achieve Their Dreams!

Let me explain…

Incredible as it may seem, companies are spending $41 billion annually to do market research. They need the opinions of regular consumers like you to decide if a product is worth their time and money.

And these companies realize now that telemarketing doesn’t work—they can’t get your opinions for free. So they are prepared to pay you for them—and pay well.

Businesses have uncovered the potential of the internet to get opinions from consumers all over the world. Especially now, in the age of “Do Not Call Lists,” companies need folks like you to volunteer their opinions in a convenient and easy way.

Imagine having enough money to afford the things you’ve always wanted for you and your family. Enjoy the little extras you always denied yourself, pay off credit card bills, start college funds for your kids, and take that dream vacation you never thought you could pay for!
But wait…if you’re a little skeptical, let me explain everything up front about…

A Simple Way to Rake in the Dough!

Doing surveys for pay requires nothing more than an internet connection and your opinion. If you can sign your name and click a mouse, you can make extra cash right away.

All you have to do is open your inbox and click on a survey link. It takes just a few minutes to answer basic questions about your shopping preferences, and then, with a click of the mouse, there’s money in your account. Anywhere from $10-$40 for just 15-20 minutes of your time, while you lounge in your comfortable clothes and listen to music, or even watch TV.

Most people want to know…

What makes this different than other ways of working from home?

* No technical or computer skills required

* No pressure

* No website to maintain

* No products to sell

* No inventory to carry

* No business overhead

* No financial risk

* No “cold calling”

* No calling, period

* No quotas

* No managers or bosses to report to

* No need to hassle friends and family

If this sounds too good to be true, believe me, I felt the same way at first. I felt guilty about raking in cash without working long, hard hours for it. Then I remembered the catty office politics and the long commute every day that I left behind, and I began to change my thinking to enjoy all the freedom and empowerment I was now experiencing at home.

Here are some stories from other folks just like you who once were skeptical but aren’t any longer…
