Website Content to Enhance Sales

Posted January 12th, 2011 by SiteAdmin

Many website business owners are confused by the concept of adding freely accessible content to the same website on which they offer products for sale. They understand that posting freely accessible content will help draw people to the website where they may purchase products, but they are unsure what types of content they should post.

As a result, the content they add often competes for the website visitor's attention, and depresses sales instead of increasing them. In this short article I will clear up the mystery for you so you will always know exactly what type of content to add, and what type of content to avoid.

When adding freely accessible content to your e-commerce website, the types of content you generally want to add are things which encourage sales of the products you sell.....Read more »

Is Affiliate Marketing Sustainable?

Posted October 5th, 2010 by SiteAdmin

Written by Steven Wagenheim

I've gotten into quite a few arguments during my seven plus years of marketing online. But the last couple of days have been something else altogether. Over at the Warrior Forum, one of the newer members has proclaimed that affiliate marketing is NOT sustainable as a business model. Heck, one person said it isn't a business model at all. Needless to say, this really got me all hot and bothered. Well, in this article, we're going to beat this horse to death. Sit back and relax because this is going to take a while.

I guess I need to start with why this person says that affiliate marketing is not sustainable as a business model. He claims that in order to have a sustainable business model, you have to be in control of at least two of three things and, if possible, all three. These three things are product, price and service. As an affiliate, you have no control over any of those things. He also states that no bank will give you a loan if you tell them that your business is as an affiliate marketer. Let's take point one.....Read more »

5 Ways to Turn Negative Social Media Feedback into a Positive

Posted July 22nd, 2010 by SiteAdmin

Written by Jordan Knox

I once went to the wedding reception of a college friend. Everyone I knew in college was there. The evening was going well as we enjoyed wonderful food, great wine, and dancing.

Halfway through the night my friend’s uncle decided a toast was necessary and staggered up to the DJ’s station. While dancing awkwardly to Men Without Hats the entire crowd stopped to listen in horror as my friend’s uncle gave the most brutally honest toast imaginable. Unlike my friend’s uncle, negative social media comments can’t be tackled and dragged off the dance floor.

Likewise, businesses are no longer dictating but rather listening and conversing with their customer base. By opening your company up for this conversation you also leave the ability for consumers to complain – loudly and publicly. What should you, as a company, do then? Below are five ways to turn that negative feedback into a positive experience.....Read more »

7 Secrets To Building Your Online Credibility

Posted July 15th, 2010 by SiteAdmin

Written by Ray Edwards

In a way, the Internet may be compared to the Wild Wild West. (Where do you think the acronym 'WWW' came from?) There is no real central authority that is in charge and many scam artists take full advantage of this. Especially as a small business owner with no large company name behind yours, building credibility in the prospect's mind becomes crucial.

Here are seven ways to build your online credibility.

1. You may find it beneficial to place your picture (even a smugshot) on your website.

Brick and mortar stores have the advantage since the clerk has a direct face-to-face conversation with the customer. It is therefore easier to 'connect' and form a relationship.....Read more »

Make Money Online by Selling Low-cost Content-rich Reports

Posted July 15th, 2010 by SiteAdmin

Written by Liane Bate

There is nothing that has motivated me more lately than selling some hot internet products directly from my website. Ever since adding Clickbank products to my site related to my internet marketing business, I have seen a fairly regular stream of sales coming in. The beautiful thing about it is that these products have not been over-priced courses or e-books, but are lower-ticket items in the $5-$25 price range!

You may be wondering how you can make good money online by selling such cheap products. The key is that they are not "cheap" in the sense that they have no value. In fact, they are products in high demand because they do provide exceptional value at a lower cost than other internet marketers may charge. This is why writing short, content-rich reports becomes an important and easy way to generate cash flow for your online business.....Read more »

Personal finance and business finance are based on the same principles - only the scale is different. Let's see how business control their finances and apply it to your finances with 7 simple skills.

Skill #1. Learn Where Your Money Goes (Business controls its spending)

This skill is a very easy one to master, all it needs a little discipline. Just get a little diary, keep it with at all times and enter each spending transaction into it for a whole month. Do not leave anything out. Every coffee bought while you were out, every bought work lunch, every magazine and every item of clothing. Look at it and see where your funds are really going. Then think what you could have done without. If it was a work-day Starbuck's Coffee (say $5) - that's worth $1,000 per year! What you could you do with that? That's a short resort holiday or you could put it aside for emergencies.

Once you have the months' spending list, then group the items into categories. You could use Food, Clothing, Transport, Rent/House Payments, Medical and Car Payments etc.....Read more »

Building Online Credibility

Written by Tanya Cash

Why is Online Credibility Important?

Credibility is defined as "the quality or power of inspiring belief". This is especially important in internet marketing because you build relationships with people that you can't touch and you can't see to read their facial expressions or their body language. The very nature of the internet precludes blind trust. The only way we can judge the credibility of another person is by what they say about themselves or what someone else says about them. We then have to judge how valid and credible the information is that is posted on their websites, blogs and forums.

What is your credibility really worth? The answer is EVERYTHING. Without credibility you won't get very far in internet marketing.....Read more »

Create your own Anti-Emergency Fund™

Posted May 20th, 2010 by SiteAdmin

Written by Cindy S. Morus

Do unexpected car repairs, quarterly insurance payments or those darned property taxes find you hard pressed to squeeze one more dollar out of an already stretched monthly budget? Or do you usually end up reaching for the plastic in your wallet to make up the difference? Those inevitable expenses can put less stress on your bank balance -- and your mind -- if you learn to expect them and save in advance.

Too often, irregular occurring expenses get left out of our financial equation. Our income stretches to cover the regular monthly expenses and the remainder trickles away toward little things like the morning espresso or lunches out or a dozen other daily splurges. We choose not to think about the brakes that are getting spongy or the plumbing that's beginning to make strange noises. And we end up riding a financial roller coaster, never knowing when the next crisis will throw us for a loop.....Read more »
