How to Get More Sales Online by Boosting Your Email Marketing Campaigns

How to Get More Sales Online by Boosting Your Email Marketing Campaigns
How many of you have heard of the saying, “the money is in the list”? Well, it is a simple saying. Building a list will not make you easy money. You need to apply the following techniques and tips so that your subscribers will buy from you and more importantly, to answer your question of how to get more sales online.

Using eBay For Lead Generation
If you were to ask a group of people how they could make money using eBay, they would probably all come back with similar answers - sell off their unwanted possessions, sell things for other people and take a commission on successful sales, or perhaps go the more professional route and buy stock to resell from a wholesaler. The chances are very high that none of them would think of using eBay as a springboard to achieving bigger and better things elsewhere. Yet a small number of internet entrepreneurs are doing just that - utilising the sheer power and reach that eBay has to offer in order to build their own successful website and mailing list.

How to Afford an Online Marketing Business Opportunity

October 29th, 2008

How to Afford an Online Marketing Business Opportunity
Whatever online marketing business opportunity that has come your way is sure to cost you money. Understandably, it may be money that you can recoup once you’ve the business running and generating profit but until then, you need to figure out a way you can afford its start-up costs.

Why Blogging Is Addictive
Amazon ordersIt’s what makes blogging so addictive.

There I was in the last couple of posts saying that Amazon wasn’t too productive for me and that with ClickBank I had failed to make a sale.

Checking yesterdays stats I see that I had 8 (eight!) sales with Amazon and had my first ClickBank sale.

Also, following on from yesterday’s post, my new blog Good Health Source, which I set up five days ago, received it’s first Google referrals.

You’ll probably think I’m nutty but I believe that, in life, once you start concentrating on something things start to happen. Some call it magic, some the power of mind, some coincidence but whatever it is it works!

Whatever you may believe it’s what makes blogging exciting. You never know what might turn up in your stats. I reckon it’s going to be a good month - and if I believe it will be then … (draw your own conclusion!)

Good luck,
Mike.

Make Money With ClickBank

October 28th, 2008

Make Money With ClickBank
ClickBank money makingI’ve been having a look at ClickBank as a way to make money. I’ve seen it about for ages but have never signed up previously or studied it at any depth.

I can’t form any definite impression of the program as yet, as I only joined a couple of days ago, but many people claim to be making worthwhile money. I’ll experiment with it over the coming few weeks and I’ll let you know how I get on.

At the moment I’m looking at it from an affiliate angle - it’s also possible to sell your own products through ClickBank.

There are thousands of products to choose from which are all listed in their MarketPlace these fall into nine broad categories:

Business to Business, Health & Fitness, Home & Family, Computing and Internet, Money & Employment, Marketing & Ads, Fun & Entertainment, Sports & Recreation, Society & Culture.

These in turn are divided into subcategories to make it easier to find the right products for a particular niche to match your blog or website.

You simply choose the products you want to promote and get what they call a hoplink. This is simply a link with your chosen name included.

Nothing needs approval so you can be up and running with ClickBank in a short period of time.

Promotional material, however, is often in short supply so you may need to create your own. Otherwise it’s necessary to go to the websites, of the chosen products, to see if they have an affiliate link. If they have, there may be banners, ads etc. to use. I found though that some don’t offer this so all you end up with is a link.

As for the products they are a mixed lot and seem to mostly be ezines, courses, information and so on. A few examples:

Download Movies: Over 90 million movies and TV shows! The best place to download online - unlimited TV show downloads.

Blogging To The Bank: Create highly profitable blogs that suck in thousands of target visitors every day.

How To Be Irresistible To Women: Discover the powerful, step-by-step secrets of how to meet, attract, charm, impress & seduce the kind of woman you’ve always wanted …using techniques that give you immediate results!!

Get Paid For Shopping & Eating Out: Make money as a Mystery Shopper and be paid $10 to $125 per assignment.

Commissions vary but can be 60% or even more of the purchase price.

Note that commission is earned from product sales, you are not paid purely for clicks.

Payments are made to affiliates every two weeks. The payout threshold can be as low as $10 - but you have to go into your account and amend the default figure which is set at $100.

My first impressions …

The Good:
Thousands of products, something like 10,000!
Possible to get paid every two weeks.
High commission rates on some products -40%, 50%, 60%+
Instant sign up, no approval needed.
You can start promoting products immediately.
Can be promoted wordwide.
No products to handle personally.
Can be done anonymously.

The Not So Good:
Not always good promotional material available.
Have to make sales to make money.
Some of the products look a bit dodgy, so take care with your choice.
Need traffic to get sales.

I haven’t done any real promoting as yet with ClickBank. All I’ve done so far is place a few ads on a couple of my current blogs.

I’ve got a couple of ideas to try, such as starting a new blog on a defined niche and filling it with associated ClickBank offers. I’ll give it some proper thought and see what I come up with.

I think it’s worth a little experrymentation.

Good luck,
Mike.

Ezine Publishing Secrets - 4 Ezine Publishing Tips to Get Money Easier and Faster
So you want to rake in the money through Ezine publishing. There are lots of people doing so and there is no reason why you cannot do so as well. So how exactly do you earn big bucks from Ezine?

Make Money As A Mystery Shopper
Make money mystery shopper“Yes, but what else can you do to make money besides blogging?” some people ask. I guess blogging isn’t for every one, so what about something like becoming a Mystery Shopper instead?

There is a lot of rubbish written about the subject, quoting massive earnings, but in reality this isn’t the case. Nevertheless, if you fancy getting paid for going out to dinner, shopping for clothes, taking a flight and reporting back as to how everything went, then this could be a viable option to blogging.

First you have to sign up with an agency, this should be free, and you are then sent assignments: such as buying a product, asking questions about an item or service, making a compliant and so on. You then have to report back with your findings.

Payments vary. In the UK these probably average - keeping it realistic - between £5 ($9) and £25 ($45) per job undertaken plus expenses. There can occasionally be other benefits such as being able to keep the purchases or enjoying a meal in a restaurant.

Agencies want all sorts of people as mystery shoppers including those with disabilities. The main requirement is a good standard of written and spoken English. It’s important that the specifications of the job are followed exactly and that the responses of staff etc. are noted accurately.

A few agencies who recruit mystery shoppers in the UK are:
Grass Roots
Intelligent Marketing Solutions
NOP Mystery Shopping

Readers from USA and other countries will find similar agencies by doing a Google search.

Good luck,
Mike.

Avoiding Scams While Selling on eBay

October 28th, 2008

Avoiding Scams While Selling on eBay
Scams are notorious all over the internet, and eBay is certainly no exclusion. Sellers can find themselves the victim of a scam, and not even know it until their money and their item is gone. Unfortunately, eBay’s methods of settling disputes between sellers and buyers can be time consuming, frustrating, and ultimately leave you with no conclusion. By the time the scam is even recognized, it may be too late to act.

Find a Beginner’s Money Making Program For Free Online

October 28th, 2008

Find a Beginner’s Money Making Program For Free Online
Finding a beginners money making program for free online can be frustrating but not impossible. You just need to know what to look for when comparing your options.

Fastest Way For a Beginner to Make Money Online
There is so much information on the Internet about how to make money online it’s not funny. Just go to Google and punch in “make money online” and see how many results you get. Last time I checked, there were over 33 MILLION results for “make money online”. That’s crazy! Actually now that I think about it, it shouldn’t be that surprising….

You Can Make Money With Genuine Surveys
make money with surveysSurveys - the very name is often associated with scams and it’s true that some of the websites involved aren’t all they are cracked up to be. There are, however, genuine survey companies. One example is YouGov.

Strictly speaking surveys are not a lot to do with money making blogs but they can be if you are willing to introduce others via ads etc. on your blog.

A lot of blog readers are interested in earning a little extra money. Surveys, in many instances, can fit this bill. They certainly won’t make anyone rich but it is possible to make a little extra cash.

As a ballpark figure I’ve made about £85 ($170) with YouGov. It’s nowhere near being one of my main blogging income producers but I always say that ‘all profit is good profit’.

Countries covered by YouGov, as well as the UK, are Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Middle East, North Africa, North America, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden

I don’t fill in many surveys, unless they are something that particularly interests me. So how have I made $170? By introducing people to YouGov who are interested in completing surveys.

This is what you can make by referring others - in YouGov’s own words:

“For each new member that signs up, via your personalised registration link, you will receive equivalent amounts in survey credit for each survey they complete during their first three months of membership.”

In other words if someone you introduce makes £10, in their first three months, then you will also get £10. And if they earn £50 in that period you will get £50 and so on.

Refer a few people and you have an income, even if only small, for doing very little - other than maybe placing a few text ads at the end of a post, which is all I do occasionally.

Note that you won’t get loads of span by joining YouGov. To quote the company, “Your contact details will only be used by YouGov to contact you for YouGov research.”

So that’s the world of YouGov. In the UK their survey results are often used in national newspapers and on television. There was actually one on the ITN news today about the current worldwide money/banking problems and what people thought about this.

Genuine surveys can be of value.

Good luck,
Mike.

myLot. Make a little extra money joining in and starting discussions about blogging, money making or absolutely anything else (well almost).

Money Making Test Update On ClickBank

October 27th, 2008

Money Making Test Update On ClickBank
Money Making with ClickBankAs regular readers will know I have been doing a test on ClickBank to see if the claims made about making money with the program are a reality for the average blogger.

I must admit that I haven’t got on as well as I had hoped.

One snag I have found:
I have made a total of $64.72 and, as I had requested checks to be sent once over $50, I thought I would receive payment. But this wasn’t to be the case.

My payment was marked as CDR (Customer Distribution Requirement). On checking what this means this is what I found:

Payments are held unless the following criteria are met:

(1) Sales are made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and
(2) Sales are made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.

So if your sales are all with say Visa then you have to wait for your money. They say that this is to stop affiliates using ClickBank to collect rebates (on their own orders) or extending credit to others. I gather that this is only when you start out - at least I hope it is.

Think of that as you will. In fairness it is on their website but, to come across this, I think you would have to one of those very thorough people who wade through a lot of Q&A’s.

Orders Per Click
I’ve found the orders per click so far to be poor. I’ve had over 2,300 clicks but have only made $64.72.

I don’t know how many clicks I’ve actually had in total because, as far as I can see, ClickBank only give stats for 30 days.

I feel I’ve done okay with generating clicks. I’ve averaged about 76 per day, but this hasn’t produced sufficient sales as far as I’m concerned. (I do some programs where I can average 1 in 25 sales, though not of such high amounts dollar wise).

I’ll press on for a few more weeks as the blog, Good Health Source, I started to tie in with ClickBank is beginning to build up steam.

I’ll get back to you with how I eventually get on with ClickBank.

Good luck,
Mike.

Ezine Publishing Secrets - 4 Ezine Publishing Tips to Get Money Easier and Faster
So you want to rake in the money through Ezine publishing. There are lots of people doing so and there is no reason why you cannot do so as well. So how exactly do you earn big bucks from Ezine?

You Are a Super Affiliate!
How would you like to have the flexibility of working from home, spending time with love ones and doing things you want to do, and yet rake in a full time income doing so. I am going to share with you how you can start earning money the new way through, Affiliate Marketing.

Sign Up With WidgetBucks And Get $25
As regular readers may know I haven’t really been one of WidgetBucks biggest fans but if this program does interest you now is the time to join.

Why?
Because it’s their first birthday and, if you sign up, you’ll get $25 - and free money is always nice!

Of course there are conditions. I’ll let them explain, this is what they say:

“To celebrate our first anniversary, we’re reinstating our sign-up bonus that we offered during the first three months for all new publishers: $25 bonus when your account reaches $50.”

But be quick as the bonus is only applicable, as I understand it, to new affiliates for the month of October.

Okay, let me give my honest opinion about Widget Bucks.

On the plus side I have received $172.21 from them and this was all paid on schedule, no problems in this direction. I’ve also got another $32.54 in the kitty - payments are made by PayPal once $50 is achieved.

So that’s okay.

What I did previously find though was that:

(1) Some of the widgets slowed down the loading of my blogs.

(2) The return on CPM (cost per thousand impressions) for international impressions i.e. non USA is very low. However, in saying this, some widgets are based on a pay per click basis and this, depending on the products, is much better.

You can see what I last wrote about WidgetBucks on my post Money Making Spring Clean. Also note the comment on this from Dean Jutilla of WidgetBucks.

I actually took all of the widgets off my blogs a while back but I’m trying them out again now. I have found that the ones I am using at the moment (see header ad on Celebrity Insider) are loading much quicker now.

There is also a bigger choice of widgets. As well as Shopping ones there are also now ‘Local’ and ‘Travel’ widgets. These come in a variety of sizes.

I’m actually trying out the Local version which, to quote them, gives, ‘relevant, real-time local content, such as weather, gas prices, top local businesses and restaurants.’

I’ll leave it at that but, if you are thinking about joining WidgetBucks, it’s probably a good time to join to get the $25.

Also, as I’m being honest, there is a referral program for introducing new members. It’s not over generous but these are the terms:

“… you will receive a 5 percent referral fee based on the commissions earned by the people you refer. You’ll receive this 5 percent for the full 12 months after the new member joins.”

In other words if you joined and earned $100 I as the referrer would get $5.

And that’s WidgetBucks!

Good luck,
Mike.
