Save money on your everyday shopping

Author: casper021 | Filed under: Online Auctions

Have you ever noticed how there are always big sales right before the holiday season with some shops offering up to 80% discounts? Well you probably have and you also probably quite happy to take advantage of those discounts and buy something for let’s say $200 which on any other day would cost you $1000 and after making that purchase you probably will be quite happy thinking that you saved yourself $800. Well let me tell you something I used to work in retail a while ago and I was shocked at the margins on some products and also retail shops never sell anything at a loss they always make money on each sale. Getting back to the margins let’s look at a simple t-shirt example let’s say on average half decent t-shirt will cost about $50 in a shop during the holiday sales the shop will probably offer it at 50% discount so people would look at it and see a good saving of $25 and be quite happy with this savings well now the shocking truth that the shop probably paid about $2.50 for that t-shit and still even after a %50 discount the shop will still make allot of money. Did you know that you could actually buy directly from the same supplier and it will cost you about $5 per t-shit plus few bucks for deliver so now you can actually not only save more on a product but you will save on petrol as well as you do not have to drive to the shop. Also when you buy direct from suppliers you do not have to wait for specials or holidays or anything else you get the same low price every day of the year.  Here are some examples of products and prices I posted earlier :

http://internetsecrets.blogtown.co.nz/2009/05/07/most-asked-questions-about-wholesale/

Now you probably thinking well that’s all good but how do I find those suppliers and how do I contact them? Well there is quite a simple answer to this question there is this website, which offers you an access to over 6000 verified suppliers and wholesalers the admins of the website constantly review and verify all the suppliers they also offer you a support forums and are happy to help you find any product you need. I have joined the website about three years ago and since virtually have not bought anything from the local shops except for groceries and in some cases when I just could not wait for the shipping otherwise all my purchases were made online from the wholesale suppliers. Looking back I probably saved myself over 50000 over the past three years by buying online as everything I have including tvs and all electronics were purchased online.

Simple money making guide

Author: casper021 | Filed under: Earning Online

People often ask is it possible to make money online for free. And the answer is YES it is. Here I will describe a simple method anyone can use to make some extra cash online using without your own product by using ebooks with master resell rights. But before I start I have to say your income will depend on how much work you will put in and even thou the free methods do work they are not as effective as some paid methods but again the more hard work you put into it the better result you will get out. So I will describe two methods here first one will be totally free and the second one will require some investment but if use the first method and make some money out of it they you can reinvest them into the second one and make even more. Well here are the methods.

First
Complexity: easy
Time to implement: low (around 2-3 hours)
Income possibility: low – medium

This is a very simple method which does not require much time to set up but if done right it will be paying you for many years to come. First of you need to download some ebooks with master resell rights you can find a good collection of ebooks here http://www.wizit.co.nz/cms/FreeStuff.aspx most of them come with master resell rights and most of them also have a pre-build website for you but we will use the website in the next section. Once you downloaded ebooks now you ready to sell them and make some money. There are few places which I would recommend for selling ebooks first one is eBay and the second one is PayLoadz in both cases it is free to sell. With ebay you would have to renew your listing every week or so with PayLoadz you just list you product and it will be there for years. Well that’s about as simple as that. Few other pointers most ebooks will have cover graphics and sales pages included so use them or you can write your own also ebay and PayLoadz are not the only places to sell ebooks you can do a google search and find few others.

Now onto the second method

Complexity: medium
Time to implement: medium (around 24-48 hours)
Income possibility: medium – high

This method is quite similar to the one above the only difference is that instead of using other services to sell your product you will be using your own website to do it. So first you need to get some hosting I would recommend ixwebhosting as I have been with them for a number of years now and quite happy with their service you can read a review about ixwebhosting which i wrote. Once you have a webhosting account and a domain name (note: when choosing a domain name make sure you pick something easy to remember). Now all you have to do is upload a website which is included with ebooks which you have downloaded and add paypal buttons to the website and start promoting your own website and this method will generate income for as long as website is running.

How I made $702 in one weekend from nothing.

Author: casper021 | Filed under: Earning Online

How I made $702 in one weekend from nothing.

Here I will describe a simple method I used to make $702 in one weekend starting from nothing, meaning I have not used any of my existing sources of income nor my existing list to advertize to.

This is a simple method and anyone can do it, it takes about 2 – 3 hours to set up. All payments are paid directly to your PayPal account so the money are available to straight away not like with affiliate programs where you have to wait for commissions to be approved and then you have to wait for the cheque to arrive.

Well no more delay here is my simple method.
Prerequisites. You need to have a PayPal account. If you do not have one you can get it here its free. You also will need a hosting free or paid does not matter. There are plenty of them available so just google free web hosting. Also you will need an email account. I would recommend creating a separate one you can get a free one at gmail.com, yahoo.com or hotmail.com. Ok now you should be ready to start.

Step One
Fist you have to have a product or service to sell and not as an affiliate, you need to have your own product or service. Now you probably thinking how can I create a product or service in such a short time frame well the good news is you do not have to. Go to $6 magic website and get it. Once you downloaded it, it will have all the instructions on how to configure it with you PayPal account and upload to your hosting account.

Step Two
Now that you have configured it with your PayPal pal account and uploaded to your hosting account its time to promote it and make some money. This step should take about an hour. The website comes with highly attractive prewritten ads for you. All you have to do is add the link of your website to those ads. Now go to google and search for the following “free classified ads”. Now start placing the ads I would recommend for better success to place ads on at least first 20 websites which will show up in google results. Placing the ads is easy just copy and paste the prewritten ads and post them on websites. You can post multiple ads in multiple categories for better visibility.

Step Three.
This is the easy and fun step. Just sit down relax have a coffee or something to eat and watch the emails from PayPal coming in with the following subject: Item #XXXXX – Notification of Payment Received.After following the same procedure I have had the first sale in about 15 minutes after placing the first ad and following that I had total of 117 sales in 48 hour period.

Good Luck to anyone who will use this guide and have a great success.

5 Ways To Improve Your Adsense Earnings

Author: casper021 | Filed under: Earning Online, Website promotion

If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some good money a day through their sites. But then some of the “geniuses” of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box.

The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is continuously doing so.

Here are some 5 proven ways on how best to improve your Adsense earnings.

1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites.  It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.

If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent.  Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer.  Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs. 

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.
Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Creativity.

This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.

In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there.
