Hand out special report/article on a specific topic so people can use and distribute to others on their website, newsletter etc.
Sell products/services using affiliate program like clickbank.com, refer-it.com
Write an e-book. If possible, a free one and distribute it on the net

Ways to learn internet marketing

2006-02-04T00:08:00.000+08:00

There are a lot of internet marketing courses and tips outside there. But not all people do what they learn.

What you need to do to learn is to buy and read as much internet marketing resources. Focus on what we want to know and we still don't know. Not what we've already knew.

You need to do a lot of trial and error and the most important thing to do is measure the result. You need to track all kind of marketing methods you use and what are the results produced. If OK then stick with it, improve it. If not, then stop doing it. Try other things that might be working.

Do lots of things, but one thing at a time. Try many, fail fast, learn even faster. Then you will master internet marketing. Don't just read and read. Go now and start do and do. Then only you will see the result, then only you will see the money...

What is the best autoresponder on the net?

2006-01-27T16:32:00.000+08:00

I also not sure which are the best. :) But I have a list of autoresponder that you can look at. The price, the features, the reliability and effectiveness.

What is autoresponder anyway? It is an application to manage your subscription list, to submit sequential message automatically giving a specific period of time. For example you are selling a medicine online. You offer a special report on your medicine benefits etc to the user by let them subscribe to your newsletter.

All the messages you want to send has been set up in advanced. You have set up let say 4 messages with interval of 3 days of each message. The first message will be sent immediately after the user subscribe to your newsletter. After 3 days, the second one arrive at the subscriber inbox. And so on till the last message.

So what is the benefit? People won't buy from you on the first visit. So you can use autoresponder to build credibility and convince people on your services or products. You can follow up with them on their progress after reading your previous messages etc. This will increase subscribers confidence and will lead to a sale.

Here are some autoresponder for you to evaluate.
1. SendFree ($19.97) - As its name, it is free for you to use but with ads. Without ads need to upgrade. Have free trial for 30 days
2. GetResponse - ($17.95) You can have a limited feature of this autoresponder for free
3. EmailAce - ($8.95) Paid autoresponder. Promo as low as $2.95 for first 30 days.
4. Aweber ($19.95) - Paid autoresponder with monthly fee. - I personally use this one and highly recommend it to you

Try it and choose the one suit your needs. Happy marketing...

Autosurf as advertising channel

2006-01-26T17:38:00.000+08:00

Autosurf program is a program that let people view websites in exchange of part of advertiser's fee, display of own website (traffic exchange).

It becomes popular when it can give lots of money when you join autosurf programs and just surfing for few minutes a day.

As advertising tool, I think it is not so effective since a lot of people just run the autosurf and start doing other things. Anyway, we need to play it by numbers. Let say if your website is displayed for 1,000 times, maybe you can get 10 people to view and visit your website. If you want more people let say 100, so you need to ensure your website is displayed for 10,000 times.

Anyway, I've made few sales using autosurf program as advertising channel. 12dailypro is the best autosurf programs for people who would like to make money by just surfing and it can be the best advertising channel among all other autosurf programs since people just need to surf just 12 sites per day and they will most likely to view your website.

The tips to attrack people to view your website is by making them to click on your catchy words. Something like - "STOP surfing for penny, start building your online business empire. Click here." You must be creative enough to attract the attention of the autosurf viewers.

Rate of the effectiveness - 2 out of 10
