Things You Should Not Do When You Market Online
Things You Should Not Do When You Market Online
I learnt this from first hand experience and I thought I should share some insides with you readers. Here are 3 good tips you should not do when you do online marketing.
1. Never do tons of self promotions on your website or emails.
I learnt the hard way when sometimes I tend to promote too much of myself and get negative responses from people. So never try to promote yourself too many times.
But also there will be times you still need to or else no one will know what services or products you offer. I was shocked when I got emails coming in with no idea what products I have. Thus it still ok once in a while to market your own products.
However the good thing about this is you can actually filtered away all those people who are hunting down for free stuff from you and get more qualified people viewing your stuff. As only loyal readers or customers will still stick to you even if you pitch to them.
A good frequency of doing this is every 10 emails or blog posts I sent out I will promote only about 2 to 4 times. The rest of them are pure solid content stuffs.
2. Never mass email your list too much
If you are on my mailing list you know I like to send out tons of email everyday to my readers. I do get complains once in a while stating I sent out lots of email as I sent them out basically almost everyday.
Here are some of my findings of my experience surprisingly because I sent it out everyday. I get a higher frequency of people coming back to my blog everyday as I blog more and more on my blog.
There will be people who decide not to read and decided to optout but it is also a good thing as this will filter away people who just want a free ride.
Because what you targeting for are real qualified readers and customers to your website which will be more open minded when they see you are trying to promote something.
A great way I sent out emails to my list is one time in the morning and one more time in the evening. Testing out your titles will also make it a good way to grab targeted viewers to view your stuff.
3. Never try to hide too much from your customers
If you are a reader of my blog you know that I am a person who does not hide anything. And I find it’s rather strange that there are many people online who tend to be experts in their fields but do not really share much of their knowledge and experience when they talks or promote online.
Most people I know always advise me not to expose too much information to my customers and even talk about too much detail on some topics which they normally categorized it as some great secret.
The truth is there is NO SUCH THING as secret now a days. I know it’s hard for you to believe this but there really isn’t any dark secret on how people make money online. They just want to make an impression there is because they want to sell you their secrets!
Although it’s not highly recommended to openly share everything you know but this is my own believe. The more a person tries to help someone or his customers the more trust there will be between the readers and the business owner.
It’s sad but it is also kind of truth being too honest sometimes does have a great disadvantage. Some people may think you are not sure of what you are doing or some people will have doubts about you.
Most of the stuff you see on my blog is actually not planned. And until today I still do that because if I do plan it what happen is that the writing will not be natural. To keep things easy and honest I always try to talk things openly and give the best honest response to my readers.
I realized by doing this although I get a small percentage of attention from people BUT I get tons of great referrals and customers referring what knowledge I have to share with them which is PRICELESS.
I can be unethical and keep everything to myself but I still believe in long term what I am doing now will surely one day bring back 10 times of what I currently have. So I hope this article explains pretty much what I want to achieve in the future.
If you got any similar experience and like to share it with others feel free to comment on my blog.

Things To Know About Affiliate Marketing
The truth behind affiliate marketing is the fact that
90 of affiliates will actually make less than 100
a month.Visit at http://affiliatenetworkssites.blogspot.com
Therefore you shouldn’t count on making
full time income unless you can get very good at the
following:
1. Building a good web site that converts.
2. Search engine optimization. You’ll need a
lot of traffic as maybe 1 out of 200 visitors will
buy your products. SEO can help you get your site
in the search engines so more people will be able to
find you.
3. The trial and error of picking the right
merchants and learning the correct ways to promote
them.
Too many people out there assume that affiliate
marketing is actually a get rich quick type of
program. These types of people will throw up a
couple of banners then wonder why they never make
a single sale or any money at all.
How long you’ll need to do it depends on how much
money you are wanting to make. If you are a quick
learner and really good at affiliate marketing you
may high 2000 in 2 years. This is based on the
fact that you are starting at 0 and the fact that
you have another full time job not being able to
devote a lot of time working with your affiliate
marketing program.
If you decide to give it a try the hardest challenge
will be the first few months. If you check your
stats and see that you are only making a couple of
bucks you’ll find yourself wondering if all the
hard work was worth it. If you get some sales
going and stay committed with your hard work the
commissions should start growing.
One of the biggest factors with affiliate marketing
is the traffic that goes through your site. Even
though you’ll get a lot of traffic passing through
your website only a fraction of the traffic will
be buyers.
The key here is knowing your visitors and then
being able to determine which affiliate programs
you can offer to meet their needs. There is also
the concept of pre sale which is the ability
to put your visitors in the required open and
mind set that’s required for them to actually click
on what you are selling.
By sticking with affiliate marketing you’ll learn
more and more over the years. You can’t expect to
be the best when you first start it’ll take a lot
of hard work and dedication. By putting the time
and effort into your programs you’ll be well on
your way to making it in the very profitable and
exciting world of affiliate marketing.Visit at http://affiliatenetworkssites.blogspot.com

Thier Is A Wrong And Right Way To Start An Internet Business
There are so many individuals that would love to knowhow to start an internet business. There are wrong ways and right ways. This article is going to focus on the right ways!
Why are there so many people at this exact moment turning to the internet to create additional income? Could it be because the unemployment rate continues
To rise. October 2008 numbers among worst since 1990!
The first thing you might want to consider in knowing how to start an internet business is learning about affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is where you sell other peoples products. Let’s say you want to sell Sony products assuming they have an affiliate division online you would enroll in their program and they would give you a link to their webpage. Your job would be to point people to that website. Every time someone makes a purchase from that website Sony would pay you a percent of the sale. This is a nice way to make some quick cash because you don’t have to stock any products deal with any employees and even keep record of your sales. That is all done for you automatically.
If you have a real business entrepreneurial side and have your own product then you can start selling your own product the same way as an affiliate but in this case you would keep all the profits minus the cost to advertise and promote. Again showing you how to start an internet businessis pretty easy once you decide what kind of product or service you want to sell.
Direct sales which is one of my multiple streams of income with a big ticket item is how I make my living on the internet. It’s sort of the same as affiliate marketing except you are not selling a product for consumption to be used again and again. In this situation you are going to help others build massive income streams through the art of attraction marketing skills and Internet marketing.
This article was meant to touch the surface of creating wealth on line.
