Is a Tag Line Absolutely Necessary Along With Your Company Name?
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



In looking through Entrepreneur Magazine's most recent Franchise
500 issue, I noticed - and cut out - a number of ads for
franchises that struck me as exceptionally well named. So clear
and meaningful were these company names that they instantly
conveyed exactly what the company did in an appealing way.

If you saw the company name flash by on a van or embroidered on
an employee jacket, you'd understand the business and maybe even
want to chase down the van or person and learn more. From that
standpoint alone, imagine the immense advantage such a well-named
company has over competitors named, say, Rayne and McFlynn or
Standard Specialists.

Normally a tag line - the little phrase that follows a company
name on business cards, stationery and web site headers - helps
to clarify what line of business the firm is in and how it
differs from competitors, as well as to lend a dash of pizzazz.
In most cases, a business name and tag line belong together like
salt and ___, or like cup and ___. (I'll bet you couldn't help
filling in those blanks with "pepper" and "saucer.")

Yet here are five companies whose advertisements caught my eye as
being able to get by without a tag line. I give them high points.
See whether or not you agree.

1)Relax the Back

This store sells ergonomic products that help prevent back
problems, support the back and neck, and relieve pain. Although
the ad had a tag line, "The best of everything for your back,"
neither that nor the silhouette-style logo of a reclining figure
were needed to understand what this retail store sells.

2)Anytime Fitness

Again, you don't need any brainwork to guess that this company
provides you with a place to work out any time of the day or
night. As a member, you gain access to the club with a keycard
valid 24/7. There wasn't a tag line on the ad, and the stick
figure breaking into a run beside the company name added energy
but wasn't needed for comprehension.

3)American Leak Detection

Here too there is no mistaking what this company does. The tag
line, "The Original Leak Specialists," doesn't really add
anything helpful.

4)Computer Troubleshooters

Another self-explanatory company name. The tag line "Technology
Solved" adds some psychological satisfaction to the
presentation, letting us know that they don't merely try to
solve computer problems, they succeed.

5)Home Instead Senior Care

My favorite of the bunch. I'm not sure anyone needs the answer
to the question "instead of what?" I didn't see a tag line for
this company, either in the ad or on the web site.

So many factors go into choosing a company name that I'm not
proposing all companies seek names like the five above. History,
the type of business, the competitive landscape, domain
availability and other circumstances figure into whether or not
such names make sense and are attainable.

Still, when the stars align, a perfect name can get the message
across on its own. That's good to know!

Advertisers and Online Advertising Agencies
Copyright (c) 2009 Karin Gamble, All Rights Reserved
NetMediaReps, Inc.
http://www.netmediareps.com/



Ten years ago I founded NetMediaReps, Inc., an advertising agency
for online companies, specifically online newsletter publishers
trying to find advertisers for their publications. My decision to
found my own company grew out of my frustration in trying to
obtain agency representation for my husband's company.

After calling more than 25 ad agencies, I discovered that most
agencies charged exorbitant commissions and were only interested
in representing large companies with deep pockets. As a new
startup, my husband's company fell under their radar and follow
up was minimal to nil.

Back then, the internet was just emerging as the new frontier of
business and it was apparent that small and medium-sized
businessses needed effective marketing representation to compete
in this new marketplace, to receive the broadest possible
exposure and to find other companies which could help facilitate
their growth.

My thought was that these companies had an even greater need for
a marketing platform than larger companies to be competitive in
the growing online commercial market. I decided to fill that
niche and started by signing contracts with several online
publishers who needed assistance in selling their ad inventory.
The rest is history - NetMediaReps.com was born.

Knowledge of how to do business, and advertise, on the internet
has grown significantly over the years and data tracking of take
rates, website conversion rates and ROI have become increasingly
sophisticated, helping online businesses to better target their
advertising dollars in a successful and productive way.

Despite these advances in knowledge and technique, there are
still a surprising number of individuals who display a remarkable
naivety regarding advertising and who ask questions that indicate
the lack of a well thought out marketing plan or a basic
understanding of the advertising mediums available to them
online. Below are some examples of not so uncommon questions we
receive and our responses to them:

Question: Your publisher mails to a list of 500,000 subscribers
so I should get 500,000 responses - right ?

Answer: An online publication using a mailing list is like a
newspaper. Recipients don't always feel like reading or looking
at the publication on a given day. They may be busy, on vacation,
disinterested in the topic, or otherwise indisposed. And, like a
newspaper - just because they see your ad doesn't mean they want
to buy from you - at least not at that given moment. It is,
however, a good idea to advertise in publications that archive
past issues or editions providing advertisers with permanent or
semi-permanent back links and the opportunity of receiving
trickle through clicks and sales at no additional cost.

Other factors that can affect response rate are:

  * The number of links in a publication. Newsletters typically
run 1 to 2 web pages in length and are comprised of several
sections all of which contain a few to numerous links. As a
result reader interest and click activity is diffused across the
newsletter rather than focused on a particular ad or link.

  * Ad clarity. A concise, definitive statement describing what
your company is selling and how it benefits buyers is essential
as is an unequivocal call to action.

  * Ad Uniqueness. An ad that stands out generally performs
better.

  * Spam triggers. Generally, words and phrases that are the most
effective in evoking reader response are also the ones that
trigger spam filters both at the ISP level and the reader's
Inbox. Blatant commercial message subjects and ad copy rarely do
well.

  * Message Subject. Shorter subject lines are usually more
effective than longer ones. More imortantly, large web-based mail
services like Yahoo! Mail, MSN/Hotmail and AOL truncate message
subjects that are greater than 38 - 47 characters.

Question: (After receiving ad specs, including dimensions and
file sizes.) Will my 700 x 300 pixel ad be accepted?

Answer: Most publishers will strive to assist you in placing your
ads but are restricted by their newsletter templates from
accepting ads that don't conform to the specs provided.
Submitting an incorrectly sized ad simply delays the start of
your ad campaign.

Question: Why should I advertise when we are obviously in a
recession? Does that make any sense?

Answer: McGraw-Hill Research analyzed 600 companies and their
marketing spending from 1980 to 1985. After 1985, the facts
showed that the firms which had kept or increased their
advertising budgets during the recession in '81-'82 boasted an
average sales growth of 275% over the next five years. The
companies who cut their advertising? They experienced paltry
sales growth over the next five years of just 19%.

So, when is the right time to market your business? All the time.

Question: I noticed my competitor in your publications - can you
tell me how they did, so I can decide if we want to use you?

Sorry. You wouldn't want the details of your campaign provided
to your competitors. Our advertisers have an expectation of
privacy and confidentiality in regards to performance criteria
such as click-through rates, sales and ROI. Ad agencies and
publishers have an ethical obligation to keep campaign results
confidential.

Even if such information was made available, it would not be that
useful. Campaign results can vary significantly depending on the
product/service offered, price point, message subject, ad copy
and numerous other variables.

Any questions?... e-me ! :)

Private Label Rights (PLR) and Spamming
Copyright (c) 2009 Glenn Heitkoetter
Info Soup PLR
http://www.info-soup.com/plr



PLR is material that the author gives rights to change and/or
redistribute the product(s). These can be just about any product.
The author can be very strict in one extreme, to all the way the
other way to letting you change it completely as you want, give
yourself the credit and relink any links to your own site(s).

PLR has a bad rap as spammers flood video sites, article sites,
blogs, and other sites with this, usually it is going to be
duplicate content as someone else has already spammed the site
earlier with it. A lot of PLR is watered down filler and/or sales
pitches with little or no real information.

The following methods are if the original author(s) allow it
according to the documentation.

Find the best PLR with real information.

These are just a few methods that can be used with PLR saving you
many hours of time coming up with your own information from
scratch. PLR can also give you ideas that may only have been
touched on in the material but you can expand on it to make the
material original.

  * Combine products into unique packages that cannot be found
anywhere else. Give away part of it and sell another part.

  * Change the format. There are services that charge to do this
so this is a viable service as you can change an article into
video slides or video screen capture tutorials using paid or free
software. Change audio into articles or the reverse of this.
Utilize live video or streaming video services using PLR that has
not been done in this fashion before. People benefit from these
formats as they may not be able to utilize a product easily or at
all in the original format.

  * Avoid selling products that can be found for free as they are
or sending it to sites that want original content.

  * Give them away as bonuses for free to make an original product
more attractive as many people may not have known about this
before.

  * Auction unique packages of PLR. Sell for next to nothing if
you want and build your mailing list for your email newsletter.

  * Find the best PLR and give away in individual packages from
your site(s) and build your mailing list.

  * There are free and paid PLR membership sites that bring in new
original content all of the time. Be the first to utilize this
content and or give away the memberships using their affiliate
programs that these sites offer.

  * Use PLR to give answers to questions about items in question
and answer forums. Run a link to the material. Selling from here
is going to probably get you the boot off the forum. Give the
first package away free but sell an expanded package. Stay on the
exact topic of the forum or the boot is likely to happen. Your
sign on signature can have a link to the free content.

  * Make a free "viraling" Ebook. Many Ebooks are worthless
using regurgitated info scraped from help files of sites. People
can tell you scraped it as it will be easy obvious information.
The better it is the more viral it will go. Give real info that
is combined with good PLR. Put it in pdf format using paid or
free software with your live links to your site(s).

  * One of the best uses of PLR is to use part of it for you email
newsletters combining it with your own original content to expand
a subject.

Create Information Products - Step by Step On Using Ghostwriting Services
Copyright (c) 2009 Alan Cheng
Best Instant Sites
http://www.bestinstantsites.com/



Successful online marketers create information products that are
in-demand and sell them online. It's one of the most popular and
effective ways to make money on the internet. An information
product, or an ebook requires no inventory and the profit margins
are huge.

In this article, I'll summarize the crucial steps you need
follow to create your own information product by outsourcing to
respectable ghostwriting services...

The reasons you would want to outsource your information product
creation are:

1. You have a phobia with writing, or you just don't like the
task

2. You don't have enough time

3. You don't have the expertise to create information products

If any of the above applies to you, then you can consider using
special ghostwriting services to create the information product
for you. This is a fast and easy way to create a quality product
to sell, while you can fully concentrate on just marketing the
product.

Here are 5 steps on how to create information products by hiring
a professional writer.

1. Choose Your Niche

To decide the topic for your ebook, you need to do some thorough
online research. You should choose a niche which many people have
an interest in, and who are willing to buy the information. It
will be even better, if the niche is something which you're
knowledgeable in.

Go to forums that are related to the niche, and view the posts.
See if there is a lot of interest on certain problems which
people want to know about.

Next you can search for magazines whether online or offline, and
see if there's a magazine for the niche. This is proof that
there is demand for the topic. Otherwise, people would not run a
magazine on it.

Never, try to create an ebook on a topic which has never been
done before. Chances are that it won't sell. Try to look for
similar ebooks that are already selling well and create an
information product which is better.

2. List Out The Problems

Once you've decided what your information product is about, you
need to list out certain problems which the market is interested
in. If the subject is about PC repair, then you need to list out
the common problems people would want to know about repairing
PCs.

Get this information from forums and from search engines.
Consolidate the list of problems and choose the best ones which
you think your prospects will be interested in.

3. Hire A Ghost Writer

Your next step is to hire a ghost writer, or ghostwriting company
to write your information product. There are many professional
writers which you can find online, but don't choose one based on
the lowest price.

You need to hire a professional writer who has experience in
creating information products for their clients. This includes
the ebook, website, sales copy to sell the ebook, squeeze page to
capture prospects' emails and a thank you page.

Some companies offer these ghostwriting services as a whole
package, but there aren't many of them. An example of such a
company is 'Best Instant Sites' which offers a complete
solution for creating information products.

4. Discuss The Terms

With your chosen ghostwriter, you need to discuss the terms
before giving payment. Tell them your idea of the information
product you want and list the subjects you want written about,
from what you gathered in your research.

Ask the professional writer to research the topic in more detail
when writing the ebook. Then ask when the delivery date is. Never
push the writer for an earlier deadline. You want the ebook to be
written professionally. Rushing a writing project seldom creates
quality.

For the design of your website, tell the ghostwriter what kind of
look you're looking for and the words you want shown. Give
examples of website designs that you like so that the
professional writer knows your preference.

5. Following Up With The Progress

A few days before the deadline of your information product,
contact the ghostwriter and ask him or her for the progress. He
would either tell you everything is as planned or he would tell
you that there is a possible delay.

The point of following up is to tell the writer that you care and
it gives him a chance to ask you any questions he can think of.
You can even ask for a draft of the website design to see if it
matches what you want.

Good professional writers will always contact you a few days
beforehand if there's a possible delay, but just in case you
hired a not-so-professional writer, it will be wise if you
followed up a few times before the deadline.

Following these steps, you can create an information product of
your own and start making money online like the experts. The key
to success is hiring the right professional writer. You need a
writer that has experience in creating information products. And
of course, you also need good marketing skills to sell your
product online. Some ghostwriters offer advice on marketing
online. You need to ask.

Need a New Business Name?  Try an Extended Metaphor
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Sometimes a business name functions simply as a name, like
Constant Contact, the email service that delivers newsletters.
Look at their web site and you won't easily find any images or
wordplay that take off from the words "constant" or
"contact."

On the other hand, Named At Last, my company, uses the idea of
storks bringing clients a new name both in the images of storks
flying and in phrases like "Head Stork," my title, and
"Storklets," for the company's freelance namers. When images
and words work together to develop one concept in several
different ways, that's an extended metaphor.

Extended metaphors give readers pleasure, make a company more
memorable and have unlimited creative potential to help a company
stand head and shoulders above the competition.

To understand just how unlimited that potential can be, consider
a tech support company, Geek Squad. On 19 pages scattered through
a 44-page supplement glued into the August 2006 issue of Wired
magazine, this company brilliantly riffed both verbally and
pictorially on the theme of its name. You can get a sense of how
they do this also at their web site, GeekSquad.com.

In the Wired supplement, extended metaphor techniques that they
used to develop the Geek Squad as a techie version of the 1950s
FBI include:

  * Consistent color scheme (burnt orange, black and white) and
retro visual style in fonts, lighting, badges, people's hairdos
and uniforms

  * Explanation of how the logo harks back to the days when
"service stations" gave you a lot more than just gas

  * Terminology like "agents" and "force" instead of "staff"
or "associates" and "team"

  * Sense of humor that's as geeky as the name ("...provide
computer support 24/7/365. 366 in leap years.")

  * Timelines illustrating not only the company's development but
also technical milestones in general, always humorously presented

  * Accessories that fit the image: ramen noodles, breath mints
and wristwatches accurate to within 10 seconds

  * A Latin motto (Latin being a geeky language), "Cura et
Celeritas" (roughly, "Care and Speed")

  * Games, including "official slug-bug rules" and a crossword
puzzle with geeky clues like "Comes after zettabyte"

  * Recipes, like one for "Black Hole Upside-Down Cake," and
self-rating questionnaires, like "Are you a smasher?" (Have you
attempted to reboot your computer with your wingtips?")

  * Hobbies of the "agents," such as sci-fi, and an employee
motto: "I swear I will always come to your aid even if there's
a sci-fi marathon in town and they're playing the episode with
the super-creegy alien vampire girl."

  * Tech tips, like how to retrieve data by putting a hard drive
in the freezer for a certain length of time, and therapeutic
advice, like how to calm yourself if you experience a computer
catastrophe

  * Case studies, such as how Agent #41 keeps the rock group U2
technically going while on the road

  * Prices - well, no humor there, although the style and look
remain consistent with all the rest

A group of creative aces obviously had a blast generating all
these spinoffs of the central metaphor of a squad of geeks. I
certainly had great fun consuming their inventiveness, and I
don't think I'll soon confuse them with competitor Rent-a-Nerd.

For a Better New Product Name or New Company Name, Create a Scorecard
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Imagine being asked to judge a martial arts competition while
never having studied karate, tai chi, judo or the like. You might
latch on to a favorite whose moves you admire only to learn from
people in the know that this competitor's form was actually
embarrassingly and even dangerously bad. Or you might feel
completely frozen in your ignorance, unable to recognize a
competitor whose power and style were clearly head and shoulders
above the rest.

You'd do better with a list of judging criteria, such as
"posture," "balance," "presence," "power," and so on. By
knowing what you're looking for, you more easily see it when
it's in front of you.

This analogy applies neatly to business naming, whether for
companies or products. I've seen organizations pass over a
strong, winning name in favor of a weaker one when they go on
nothing other than their feelings. And I've seen companies
struggle to finalize a perfect name because they can't feel
confident that it truly fits the bill. They have no firm criteria
with which to assess competing possibilities.

For brainstorming a list of names, you don't need guidelines on
what the final name must be like. Indeed, it's often best to
generate possible names wildly, profusely and without censoring,
and only later to winnow them.

Before attempting to narrow down your list of candidates, create
a list of criteria or a scorecard. To name a new sporting goods
product, for instance, the criteria might include:

  * Must make sense at first hearing to both basketball and soccer
players.

  * Should be easy to say out loud and relatively easy to spell.

  * Must convey that the product has something to do with safety.

  * Needs to be trademarkable and have a matching domain name
available.

  * Should have a fun sound and positive connotation, without
being corny.

Using such a list, you'd go through the name candidates and
eliminate all the ones that didn't fit the criteria.

A company in the same line of business but with a different
history, goals and corporate personality might generate quite a
different list of criteria.

A scorecard would be a bit more complicated than a list of
criteria. Not only would you write down the qualities your ideal
name should have, you would also give each quality a numerical
weight so that some items on the list have more impact in
determining the suitability of a name than others. Using this
system, a name might turn out to be acceptable even though it
didn't meet every qualification if it met the most important
points.

A freelance namer for my company, in looking at the memo I
created for a product naming assignment, quoted to me this saying
by Charles F. Kettering: "A problem well stated is a problem
half solved." I agree wholeheartedly. The scorecard enables you
to know whether you've come up with a winner, you need to keep
at the task longer or you should really scrap the efforts so far
and make a fresh start.

Article Marketing: A Great Strategy To Promote Your Business
Copyright (c) 2009 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



Promotion is an important part of any business; you need to let
potential customers know about you and your product. Article
marketing is a strategy that will increase your exposure to the
people who will want to buy your product or service. Articles
written about your industry will help to establish you, the
author, as an expert in your field, and can be published in print
media and online.

Customers have a preference for doing business with someone they
are familiar with, and article marketing is an ideal way of
getting your name out there. The content of your articles needs
to be useful and relevant to your target market. Articles that
are informative, interesting and provide solutions to your
readers are tremendously helpful.

If writing is your thing, then do your own articles. If not,
there are several sites online where you can connect with
writers, eager for work. Choose someone who uses good grammar and
spelling skills, and who can write in an informal and
conversational style that is easy to read. Your name will appear
as the author on these outsourced articles, promoting you as the
expert.

These articles are meant to inform and add value to you and your
product; they are not blatant sales letters. Online publishing
sites wouldn't publish sales letters anyway, and print media
would avoid them as well. To establish your credibility, you need
to give something to your readers, not blast them with sales
talk. Don't ever forget, the reason they are reading your
articles is for the information.

Web and ezine writing is very different than writing for other
off-line publications. Brief is better. Be concise and write in
short paragraphs. Your main purpose is to capture their attention
and to get them to visit your website. If your article is long
with every piece of information, they won't see the value in
clicking the link to your site.

You should always check for spelling and grammatical errors
before submitting your articles to directories. These kinds of
errors will reflect badly on your reputation and credibility as a
quality information provider. Try to avoid technical language,
but provide an explanation of terms if they need to be included.

Put the major benefit to the reader in your title. The title will
determine whether or not the reader will click to read the
article and possibly click to visit your site. If they aren't
compelled to read the article, they will never get to see your
link, or see your website.

Article directories are the sites where you submit articles for
online publication. They check your articles to make sure they
comply with their guidelines before they publish them. And though
we won't go into it here, print media, like newspapers and
magazines, are also always looking for fresh copy, so you can
also submit your interesting articles to them for publication.

Make good use of the resource box under the article; this is
where you can promote your product and supply contact
information. What you include here should encourage readers to
click to your website. The best resource box describes your
website or yourself in a short sentence and includes at least one
link that points back to your website or blog. When the reader
clicks on the link to your site, your website visibility will
increase.

Remember, a brilliant article with a bad resource box is a waste
of time and money. Carefully review the rules for resource box
information for each directory you submit to and try to get in as
much information about yourself as you can.

If you can, place links to other articles you've written in a
new article you're writing. Sometimes, if the advice is helpful,
the ezines will let you do this. This cross-referencing will get
you more bang for your buck. Before publishing them elsewhere,
you should always add your articles to your website or your
newsletter. This helps to identify you as the source of the
information and is another good way to get your name out there to
build relationships with potential customers.

Articles for online publication need to be written with search
engines in mind. You need to use the most popular keywords that
online users type into their search engine when looking for
information about your topic. Use the keywords in your article,
but do not saturate it with them. This ruins the readability of

Why You Don't Have a Business if You Don't Have Products
Copyright (c) 2009 Judy Murdoch
Highly Contagious Marketing
http://www.judymurdoch.com/workbook.htm



I hope the article heading got your attention.

When a mentor said this to me a couple years ago he got my
attention: I felt angry and insulted!

Actually what he said was this: "Until you have products you
what I consider a have a successful practice...nothing wrong with
a successful practice...but you do not have a business."

I argued, "Look at everything I've accomplished. Look at
everything I've learned. I actually made a profit last year. The
IRS certainly thinks I have a business!"

"Those are all amazing accomplishments," my mentor said "but
if, God forbid, you got hit by a bus and couldn't do any work
for six months or longer what would happen to your business?"

"I'm the business," I replied, "If I can't work there is no
business."

Exactly

=======================================
A Practice Begins and Ends with You
=======================================

Even if you have an amazing assistant. Even if you have clients
who LOVE you and sing your praises: no you, no business.

One year later, two years later, there isn't even a vapor trail.

Now for a lot of people, this is completely cool. You may be
reading this article and thinking "Hey its enough that I take
good care of my clients and my business pays the bills for me and
my family."

You have a successful practice and that is something to be very
proud of.

And the success of your practice depends entirely on your ability
to show up and be present. If you can't show up, there is no
business.

My dad was a dentist for over 40 years. He was a very good at his
work and his patients adored him. When he retired he sold his
practice to another dentist.

When my dad is at the grocery store or running errands people
still come up to him and tell him how much they appreciated him
and that they miss having him as their dentist.

I'm always impressed by the warm feelings my dad's former
patients still express to him. You can't buy that kind of good
will.

But the practice itself winked out of existence when my dad took
his name off the door. Any special processes my dad knew, the
things he said to calm nervous patients, the skills and knowledge
he honed over the years; that's all gone.

=======================================
It's About Influence and Making a Difference
=======================================

This is not to belittle my dad's accomplishments. He taught me a
lot about working hard and with integrity. I'm proud of my dad.

At the same time, when I close shop for my business, in addition
to having contributed to my clients success, I want to have
products: books, classes, software, and tools that hundreds of
thousands of people can use and benefit from my skills and
knowledge.

When you create products, your business no longer depends on you
because in a sense, you have replicated yourself. You've
duplicated what made your business yours. The reason you got
customers to begin with.

With products you can influence thousands, hundreds of thousands,
maybe millions of people. That's a LOT bigger than what any
practice can do.

=======================================
Not that the Money isn't Nice too
=======================================

Most small business owners are attracted to creating information
products because they love the idea of earning passive income
from multiple sources.

It's a great reason to sell products. Not such a great reason
for creating products.

Seriously. If you're into products primarily because you want
multiple streams of revenue, I've got one word for you:
Affiliates. Sell other people's products and make commission.

It's easy. Most of the e-commerce products I use: my web host,
my email and list management, and my shopping cart all pay me a
percentage when people find them through me.

And I'm an affiliate for several businesses whose programs I've
used and gotten good results from including Amazon.com.

=======================================
Bottom Line
=======================================

Having a successful practice is huge accomplishment and you can
make a huge difference--as long as you're around.

If you want a profitable BUSINESS whose influence goes well
beyond the clients and customers you serve: then you want to
create and sell information products.

It's the best way I know to take what you know and make money
making a difference in the world.

Making Money With Clickbank - Stop Getting Only Half The Story
Copyright (c) 2009 Brandon Weavers
ClickBank Money Making
http://www.ClickBankMoneyMaking.com/



Even if you've got the simplest job on the planet...

I don't care if you're washing dishes or flipping burgers.

Heck, even if you're a roadside fruit seller...

All of those jobs are much more complicated than making money
from Clickbank.

I know that for a fact...

Let me tell you a story about how I found that out...

About 8 weeks ago, I decided to take the plunge into Clickbank.

I'd always heard that it was easy to get started, and I had some
free time so I thought I'd finally give it a shot. I mean, I'd
had some success online in the past, and I thought I was finally
ready.

So I just sat down one day at my kitchen table, fired up the old
laptop, and started searching the Clickbank Marketplace for
products to promote...

I went through the same basic number crunching I always go
through with new stuff - I mean real basic - I'm talking
kindergarten math...

And after about an hour I'd found a few products with good
commissions, so I decided to pull the trigger and start promoting
them...

But I didn't take it seriously. I just grabbed a couple of free
templates for landing pages, and fired up a couple of Adwords
campaigns...

Boy, they were some ugly templates...and right then I figured
I'd already blown it.

So I sat back and waited...I figured I'd put a couple hours in,
may as well give it a fair shot...

It was incredible.

Everytime I hit the "refresh" button, I had another 2 or 3
sales...

I couldn't believe it...I'd heard Clickbank had some decent
products ... but it's not like they were converting at 15-20% or
anything...

So I tried again. Found new products. Put together new landing
pages.

And guess what happened?

You got it - The money kept coming in. Floods of it. Clickbank
was spraying cash like a broken fire hydrant...

So I tried again...new products, new landing page, new keywords,
the whole 9 yards...

But the commissions just continued to mount up...

After a few days of watching my stats spin like a slot machine, I
decided to look into things a little further.

So I began analysing my competition. The guys promoting the same
products as me, the ones using the same keywords...

And man, was that an eye opener...

I found that most Clickbank affiliates are making huge
mistakes...errors that drastically reduce the conversions of the
vendor's site!

But That's Not Even The Worst Part...

The worst part is that almost every Clickbank affiliate is
dropping the ball with their landing pages.

And they're doing it so badly that it's pushing their cost per
click through the roof...

If you're using Adwords to promote Clickbank products, chances
are you're paying at least double what you should be. Even right
now, as you read this page.

Scary huh?

And that's what got me thinking - seeing all those guys wasting
money while I massacre their ads and shut down their businesses
made me realise something:

Almost everyone has the wrong idea about affiliate marketing.
Think about it...

..Just about everyone gets their marketing skills from Internet
Marketing (IM) products. I'll bet you've bought a few of them
yourself, haven't you?

I know I have.

You've probably also realised that a lot of the time these
products - especially ones put out by the so-called gurus -
don't quite give you the whole story.

Sure, they'll give you some hints and a rough framework. But
after that, you're on your own.

The training wheels come off, and suddenly your "business"
sucks money out of your wallet like an industrial vacuum cleaner.

And man, that hurts. You'll probably need to take on a day job
just to finance the business!

Really, when you think about it, everyone learning from the same
gurus is the main problem.

Try This Cost-Free Way To Roam The Globe And Write About It
Copyright (c) 2009 Charles Jacobs
Retire And Write
http://www.retireandwrite.com



Ah, joy. The cushy life of a travel writer.

Off to glamorous places. Air fare paid. No cost for
accommodations. Treated royally. Paid handsomely for all this
"suffering."

That's the dream, but unfortunately, it's a bit of a
misconception as well. But that shouldn't stop you. Travel is a
major activity for most Americans, and writing about it adds a
wonderful new dimension.

Nearby or distant. Whether it's a luxury cruise from Rome to
Istanbul, an epicurean visit to the Napa Wine Country or a
challenging trek though the rain forests of remote Borneo, travel
offers discovery. And discovery makes fascinating stories.

Seeing new cultures and very different parts of the world is
wonderful fun, but it does come with a price if you plan to write
about what you find. You're not just on vacation; you are
working too. To do it right, you'll spend long hours researching
the destination even before you leave. Much of your time after
arrival will be devoted to following up the leads your research
uncovered.

But there are delightful rewards as well. You will discover
people and places you never dreamed of visiting before. And you
will have the satisfaction and joy of telling others about them.

For non-professionals, writing can represent a way to help
finance the cost of more and more travel. But, of course, the
quality of the articles you turn out will determine whether or
not they are saleable. So don't embark on this route unless you
are ready to spend the time and effort required to make your
articles worthy of publication.

For most, especially newcomers, the compensation is quite low,
usually not enough to cover the cost of the trip. But smart
travel writers compensate by sending out their stories to
multiple non-competitive publications as you will learn later in
this article.

Before You Go

Careful preparation is mandatory if you are to succeed in this
specialized field. Once you arrive at the destination, you don't
have the luxury of time to begin your research. Every
professional travel writer spends long hours learning all there
is to know about the destination he/she's headed for. I begin
researching several months before departure so when I actually
arrive I know exactly where I want to go and what I want to see
and what I want to write about.

Every destination has its own unique features. They may be
physical (superb beaches, challenging hiking trails, remarkable
architecture) or cultural (excellent museums, fascinating
folklore, unusual customs or costumes). Before you depart, it is
essential that you know which of these you want to pursue.

Once there, you'll be able to supplement the knowledge you
gained in your research. You'll flesh out what you learned by
mingling with locals and meeting with tourism or government
officials. Possibly even with local journalists. It's best to
plan those formal meetings in advance and book them while you are
still at home. Then you can schedule your exploration around them
and be certain not to miss an opportunity.

Finding the Unexpected

The real fun of travel is discovering something you never found
in your advance research. Often the unexpected provides an
entirely new angle to the original piece you planned to do. Or
better yet, it may give you a second story to write and market.

Many times these discoveries develop from talking with local
folks. Sometimes other tourists comment on a sight or an
experience that they enjoyed or found particularly impressive. So
mingle, mingle, mingle. Talk to everyone.

Try to find elements that are unfamiliar, distinctive, even
strange to the average American reader as you describe the place
and the people. Create an in-depth piece that will not only
impress a travel editor, but also intrigue his/her readers.
Quoting the people you meet (in moderation) humanizes your story,
and can help readers imagine they are there with you.

Having Fun

A smart travel writer will divide his/her time between work and
play. Most times, the two seem to intermingle. Enjoy the fact
that you are in these new surroundings. I try to divide my day
into a morning and afternoon segment.

I spend the first four or so hours of the day confirming and
expanding what I have researched, completing the interviews I
scheduled and concentrating on what it is that forms the essence
of the destination.

The afternoons are left for exploration. Wandering about the
area, discovering things I never read about, enjoying museums,
beaches and whatever else the destination offers. Just having
fun. It's during these moments that the unexpected usually
surfaces. Keep your eyes and ears wide open so that you can
respond to any and every situation that may lead to a new article
or a new angle for the piece you had originally planned.

Don't be afraid to let your curiosity run wild. It may have
killed the cat in the old aphorism, but it never dulled a travel
writer. Be alert to sights, scenes, tastes, smells and describe
them all to your reader. They too will help you transport him/her
to the places you are describing.

Marketing Your Story

One of the stumbling blocks faced by travel newcomers is the
inability to convince a travel publication to give them an
assignment in advance. It is mighty tough to break into any of
the leading travel magazines even when you submit a superb story.

Newspapers seldom give an advance assignment, but are far easier
when it comes to placement. The problem is that newspapers are
reducing the size of their travel sections and are very miserly
payers. However, it is relatively easy to send your story to a
number of non-competitive papers and aggregate a decent return
for your work.

Non-Travel Publications

Smart writers recognize that there is a world of opportunity
awaiting them from non-travel publications. Stop for a moment and
think. Every major newspaper has a weekly food section. Some
magazines are devoted exclusively to food; others offer food
sections. All of them are delighted to fill their pages with well
researched stories on foods and delicacies in foreign countries.

If you are a trained architect, prepare a piece on the unique
buildings, homes, palaces, shanties, whatever you find that is
characteristic of the area. Perhaps you are an educator. Contact
the education offices overseas, visit classrooms, and do a story
on some aspect of education that is unique to the destination.

If you have a hobby, contact hobbyists who live in the
destination and write a piece for magazines that deal with the
subject. Describe the similarities or differences in the way your
special interest is pursued elsewhere. As a professional or
businessperson, compare operations and techniques in the country
you visit with those you and your peers use here in the United
States

This broad approach expands your potential market exponentially.
So break out the guidebooks, do your homework, pack your bags and
discover a brand new way to experience the globe.

"Google Adsense May Be King But There are Other Options"

By Merle http://www.MerlesWorld.com

When it comes to making money with a website, one of the
most popular methods is running text and/or image ads on
various pages. It's referred to as contextual advertising and
"inline ads". Text or image ads are shown which match the
content of the pages. Inline ads appear as highlighted words
on the page when the visitor hovers over highlighted text
on the page. Ads appear in small boxes. Contextual ads
are often displayed to the right or left of website copy,
or as blocks within sections of the text. The ads shown
are related to the content of each individual page. As
visitors click on these links, you earn cash.

Probably the largest and most used of the contextual
ad programs is Google's Adsense. Google really is a
giant when it comes to the Internet, and their talents
go far beyond just being a search engine. Adsense is
used by many site owners to bring in a monthly income.

If you're interested in running Adsense ads, first you'll
need to apply and get approved. Once approved for
one site, you can place Adsense on any other site that
you own. You can decide to run only text ads or choose
from image and text. Various sizes are offered, and you
can custom select colors to match the look of your site.
Once the code is generated, you paste it on your HTML
pages where you want the ads to appear. Simple & easy.

But what happens if you're not approved by Google, or
for some reason your Adsense account were to be
terminated? What would you do then? There are other
ad network options out there and I've gathered some
of the best alternatives together here.

Before signing up for any ad program, make sure you
read their terms of service and any requirements to
make sure it's a good fit for your website. Also, review
the payment options so you'll know how and when you
can expect to be paid. Let's review:

1) Text-Link-Ads.com: http://www.text-link-ads.com/

Once your site is approved, you insert the code on your
page and they sell simple text ads that appear on
your site. You have final say over any ads being
published. Payments are made via Paypal or Clickbank.
You receive 50% of the sale price for each link they
serve up. This ad network is acceptable to be run
on the same page as Google Adsense as this is not
considered contextual advertising.

2) Adbrite: http://www.adbrite.com/

A variety of ad formats to choose from. You can run
text ads, banners, inline ads or even full page ads.
You can choose to approve or reject ads before they
appear on your site. Pays monthly with the default
minimum check amount of $100.00. Once your site
is approved, ads will appear within 24 hours of your
pasting the code. Adbrite has no policy against using
other ad networks on your site at the same time.

3) Kontera: http://www.kontera.com/

Contextually relevant ads and ad units which are
linked to keywords on your web page. Ads displayed
will match the content of your site. For your website
to be approved it must be in English, be content rich
with more than 50 words per page. You can run text,
image, billboard, and video ads.

4) Quigo.com: http://www.quigo.com/publishers.html

Quigo offers content-targeted advertising to those with
strong traffic. Publishers with 500,000 or more monthly
page views are encouraged to apply. Once approved,
simply copy and paste the code.

5) Yahoo Publisher Network: http://publisher.yahoo.com/

Works very similar to Google's Adsense program. You design
your own ads, choosing colors and formats, then paste
some code on your page. You'll be paid per click. Advanced
ad targeting and display capabilities can sometimes improve
your results. You can choose to be paid via Paypal once
your earnings are $50.00, or a check when you hit $100.00.

6) Chitika.com: http://chitika.com/

A full service online ad network which serves over two
billion monthly impressions across more than 30,000
websites. Chitika ads are not contextual and can be
run on the same page as Adsense. Twenty-four different
ad sizes are available. Payment is via Paypal once your
account is at $10.00, or a check when you reach $50.00.

7) Miva: http://tinyurl.com/oha28n

Miva offers a wide variety of ad formats to choose from:
content ads, inline ads, search ads. You'll be paid on a
per click basis. Payments are made monthly by check
or Paypal once your balance reaches $25.00. You can
also block competitor ads from appearing on your site.

8) AffiliatesGarage.com: http://www.affiliatesgarage.com/

A different type of ad network which allows you to display
affiliate ads in an "Adsense Style". You can run Clickbank
and Paydotcom text ads on your site or blog and earn up
to 75% commission.

9) Bidvertiser.com: http://www.bidvertiser.com/

Display text ads on your website and let advertisers bid
against each other. Ad formats are skyscrapers, banners,
rectangles, buttons. They even have ads for your RSS
feeds. Payout is monthly via Paypal once your balance
is $10.00. This one pays on a cost per click basis.

10) AmaSense Ads: http://www.amasenseads.com/

This service allows you to create Google Adsense
styled ads for Amazon products. Different ad formats
are available which makes it easy to integrate into
your site. Amasense can also be used side by side
with Google Adsense without any problems.

As ads are clicked on, you earn a percentage
of the product which is paid by Amazon depending
on the type of product that is bought. You must have
an Amazon associate account first before signing up.
To get one go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/

As you can see Adsense is not the only game in town
when it comes to running ads on your site. If you have
multiple sites, you  may want to use one of the services
mentioned above, then test, to see which one is a better
earning opportunity. You might be surprised at what you
learn.

It's against Google's terms of service to run another
contextual ad service on the same page as Adsense,
but there are exceptions to the rule. Most of the services
above will tell you if you can run their ads alongside
Adsense.

If your websites are mainly information based, network
advertising is an excellent way for you to earn an income
with little effort on your part. No matter if you use Adsense
or another service, it just makes for good dollars and cents.

Mailers Your Powerful Message For Success
Copyright (c) 2009 Cathy Q
the A-Y-B Internet Marketing Newsletter
http://a-y-b.com/



Auto responders are a powerful marketing tool, saving you time
and bringing you money. Mailers are one of the ways you can use
this tool to its fullest potential. Firstly choose a reliable
auto responder and know that not all auto responders are the
same.

What is a mailer? It is a sequence of messages set up to sell a
product or service. They are a series of messages sent to your
list at timed intervals. A good timed interval for information
about a product or opportunity is about 7-10 days on a daily
basis. This would be to leads/prospects that need more
information.

Another mailer can be set up for your newsletter list
(subscribers) This should be information on a certain
product/service that will be useful to them. Remember your
newsletter list is your most valuable one. Always make sure that
you offer them information on products and services that they can
really use. Treat your subscribers like the loyal readers they
are. Another way of timing for this type of information is to
send 1 then another 2-3 days later another after a week.

Mailers to your customer list can be very profitable. This is
called backend selling. It is most important when you sell a
product to follow up with your customer. Your first mailer will
be your thank you note, within 24 hours of purchase. It would be
thanking your customer for their purchase and asking them to
contact you should they have any help. You can also refer to them
to your FAQ page, for further assistance. In 1 week you can check
up with your customer and this time you can include a flyer or
note about a useful related product. You can also offer a special
discounted price.

Who are you sending these messages to? You will be sending them
to prospective clients/leads/customers. A word of caution, never
send messages to anyone on a random basis. This is Spam and can
get you into more trouble than you can ever imagine. Always send
to your opt in list, those who have specifically asked to get
information and emails from you, or your established customers.

Mailers are very effective tools for closing the sale, and
getting repeat sales. They are simple to set up; save you time
and can make you a lot of extra sales when set up correctly. With
these points you have the means to utilize a powerful tool, which
will continue to make you money.

How to Recognize a Bad SEO Company
Copyright (c) 2009 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is about getting potential
customers to visit your website. It is also about building a
quality website full of great content. It uses keywords
appropriately and gets links "naturally" because people love
what you have on your site. SEO companies can provide very useful
services including keyword research, site review, providing
technical advice on your website development and also management
of online business marketing campaigns. They can also help with
content development, article marketing and article distribution.
Although it's not brain surgery, it is hard to do and usually
requires a lot of thought and real work.

Some unethical SEO firms attempt to manipulate search engine
results in unfair ways. These practices could get your website
ranked lower or even banned. When looking at SEO - either to
optimize it on your own or if you are looking to hire a company,
here are some things to take into account.

Be Cautious Of SEO Firms That Say They Will Get Thousands Of
Links To Your Site.

It' is not the number of sites that make the difference - it's
the quality of the sites. When firms promise huge numbers of
links, or say that you' will become part of their "network of
sites", it usually means a link farm is involved. A link farm is
any group of websites that all hyperlink to every other site in
the group. Search engines don't like this and it can lead to
penalties. Instead, practice reciprocal linking with legitimate
and related websites for better search engine ranking.

Be Wary Of SEO Firms That Guarantee A High Ranking On Google.

No one can guarantee a high ranking on Google. Some SEO companies
offer a guarantee on their services. This is fine. What's not
fine is guaranteeing high ranking in an incredibly short period
of time. When these unrealistic results fail to happen, the
company will balk at giving a refund, offer you other services
instead, start to become unreachable or disappear.

Be Cautious Of SEO Firms That Send "Spammy" Emails.

These emails are unsolicited and usually begin with "We've
noticed that you are not listed in some search engines..." You
should be searching for a high-ranking SEO company; they will not
be searching for you. Spam means scam. You don't buy your
medications from spammers so why buy SEO services from them?

Be Wary Of SEO Firms That Are Secretive Or Don't Clearly Explain
What They Are Going To Do.

Most reputable SEO firms are upfront with their clients and like
to share their knowledge. They are confident that even if their
clients understand their process, they won't leave them. If the
SEO firm claims it's too complicated for you to understand, or
if they say they have trade secrets and proprietary technology,
it's a sign that they may not be ethical in dealing with your
website.

Be Wary Of SEO Firms That Say They Will Submit Your Site To
Thousands Of Top Search Engines And Directories.

Besides the small fact that there aren't that many search
engines, consider that the guidelines of the search engines
themselves tell you that it doesn't do any good anymore. Search
Engines are good at what they do - searching for sites - and you
don't need to pay someone to submit your site to a search
engine. If they make this claim, they will probably use Free For
All (FFA) junk sites that might damage your site's standings.

Be Cautious Of SEO Firms That Say They Can Optimize And Promote
Your Site For A Low, Low Monthly Fee.

Not all monthly SEO or SEM (Search Engine Management) service
contracts or monthly fees are a scam. There are real reasons to
pay a monthly fee to an SEO expert. These would include
conditions when you would require SEO management: when you or
someone else is constantly generating new content or new features
for your site; implementing link-building campaigns; implementing
PPC (Pay Per Click) campaigns; or starting a brandcasting
campaign. Press release distribution, email campaigns and article
marketing campaigns could also require a legitimate monthly fee.

Not-so-legitimate fees could include monthly re-submitting of
your site to search engines, "tweaking" your code to keep up
with changes and regularly submitting your site to hundreds of
useless free-for-all directories. The worthwhile companies that
charge a monthly fee will usually be able to tell you exactly how
much it is per month to generate blog entries or generate and
distribute articles or press releases. And it won't be for the
low, low price of $79.95.

Choose Your SEO Company And Services Carefully.

Do your research and don't make the decision lightly. If you
were hiring a contractor to remodel your kitchen you would want
to see other kitchen projects they've done and speak with the
owners about the company's business practices. You should do the
same thing when hiring an SEO company. Get referrals and really
speak with them.

There are many online tips about choosing and hiring SEO firms
that you can check out as well. Remember, SEO is a long-term
strategy and you should take the time to do your research before
buying or you'll probably be buying again.

Retirement Is the Perfect Time to Fulfill Your Cherished Dream of Writing

Article Description:
====================

Retirees are particularly qualified to fulfill their dreams of
writing. They can call on years of life and work experience.
Don't succumb to the myth that only a chosen few can see their
words in print. You can do it too, but it is essential to think
your project through and complete the research necessary to
create quality content, whether your choice is fiction or
nonfiction.

Retirement Is the Perfect Time to Fulfill Your Cherished Dream of Writing
Copyright (c) 2009 Charles Jacobs
Retire And Write
http://www.retireandwrite.com



The Gallup Survey Organization says 81% of mature adults long to
write a book. You're probably one of them.

In a poll sponsored by the Eons.com web site, 14,000 Seniors and
Boomers chose writing as one of their most cherished life dreams.

What's your choice for retirement writing? The novel you've
always dreamed of crafting? Perhaps a memoir for loved ones?
Maybe you'd prefer to turn out interesting magazine articles on
the favorite hobby you've pursued for so many years. Like many
others, you may want to maintain contact with your former career
by writing articles for trade magazines or possibly a how-to
book.

What's holding you back? Are you reluctant because writing seems
to be so challenging? Limited to just the chosen few? That's
nonsense. Don't let those myths keep you from trying what
you've always dreamed of.

Retirement Writing

As a retiree you have great advantages that will help you to
fulfill your dream of becoming a published author. You have
time...free time at last to pursue the activities you love. You
bring years of life experience and professional knowledge to the
task.

Can you use those advantages to become a published author?
Certainly you can. You'll probably never reach best seller
status, although some late starters have accomplished that feat.
But with some effort and dedication, you can see your words in
print as an article or a book. And they can be distributed over
the Internet for millions to see.

It's time to move beyond the starting gate. Set aside those
fears of failure. No task can be completed if it isn't begun. No
challenge overcome until it is tackled. So it is with writing.
Once you start, you'll see your confidence build.

Lawrence Block, a prolific novelist and writing instructor, says,
"Writing has this in common with most other skills; we develop
it best by practicing it. Whatever writing we do helps us to
become better writers."

Before You Face the Computer

The process begins well before you sit down at your computer to
write the opening lines of your new gem. A bit of self-searching
will put you on track. Think through your answers to several key
questions:

  * Why do I want to write? Is my goal self-fulfillment? Do I have
a message I want to deliver to others? Do I want the thrill of
seeing my words in print? Am I trying to supplement my income?

  * What category of writing can best help me attain that goal?
What category is most comfortable for me?

  * Do I want to write just a single piece (a memoir, for
example)? Or do I hope to make writing a new career?

  * How much time am I willing to devote to the task?

  * Will I be happier writing articles or a book?

Whatever your answers may be, be absolutely certain you are
comfortable with them. This is particularly important if you plan
to write a full-length book, for you will be married to that task
for a substantial length of time.

Making Your Choice

Beginning writers regularly ask, "Where can I find ideas?" The
answer, in short, is the world around you. There are no limits to
the ideas that astute observers can develop. And writers must be
alert spectators.

Ideas abound right in your own home. Coping with a dear one's
terminal illness. Issues that caused a divorce. Secrets of a
relationship that grows stronger with every year of marriage. An
unusual family heritage. Cooking or decorating ideas. Unique
holiday celebrations. The list is endless.

Beyond your four walls there is an endless storehouse of ideas.
You find them all around you by listening and watching and
hearing what friends and relatives talk about. Stories, books and
articles are built around events and emotions that people
experience.

You can also find them every day in the newspaper. You can choose
to follow up a factual report and expand it far beyond what a
rushed reporter can do on a tight deadline. Or you can choose to
take the idea and fictionalize it, adding your own twists and
turns.

A book like Writer's Market, updated annually by Writer's
Digest Books is a treasure trove of ideas. It offers hundreds of
pages of periodical listings categorized by subject. Freelancers
use it as a bible to locate publications that might use their
stories. You can use it as a trigger for ideas as you flip
through the 50 categories of consumer magazines and 60 categories
of trade journals.

Getting Ready

Whether you're about to embark on a novel or nonfiction, an
article or a full length book, you're not ready to face that
blank computer monitor until you've completed all of your
initial homework. That includes evaluating the responses to the
question listed above..

Most fiction writers begin by drafting an outline of the plot. As
each main character is fully developed-and you as the author must
know those key players as well as you know yourself--changes will
be necessitated in the outline. You must research the locale(s)
and the time period of the book, for nothing can cause a reader
to lose interest faster than discovering factual mistakes made by
a careless writer.

The essence of nonfiction is fact, and you better know your facts
intimately and accurately if you are to achieve success. Whether
you are writing an historical piece or a how-to, do your
research. Know your subject. Those of you who choose to write on
your work specialty better make certain you are up to date on all
the latest developments. Always remember that progress didn't
end on the day you retired. Change has occurred, and you better
be aware of it.

The key word here is research. Getting up to speed. Knowing your
subject intimately. Without this, you run the serious risk of
suffering from the author's dread disease, Writer's Block. It
usually results from facing a stark white computer screen that
seems to leer at you, challenging you to make the leap from brain
to computer, from thought to the reality of converting those
thoughts into words and placing them on the computer. Writers who
have done their research well and know their subject will seldom
if ever face this problem.

The one last component that you must agree to is discipline.
Whether you choose to devote only two or three hours a day to
your writing or anticipate making it a full-time job, it cannot
be hit-or-miss. You must set a rigid schedule, and follow it. A
few hours each morning leaves lots of time for other activities,
yet adds a hugely enriching complement to your retirement years.

Growing Your Business with Online Marketing
Copyright (c) 2009 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



As a business owner, you know that one of the keys to a
successful year is promoting your business. No matter what size
your business is, marketing and promotion need to be addressed.
Marketing has become a daunting task with the increasing number
of online start-up businesses.

And now, along with the traditional offline marketing methods,
there are many online marketing tools and methods available.

Online Marketing is also known as Internet Advertising, web
marketing, web advertising or e-marketing.

There are many benefits to marketing your business online. Here
are a few.

Lowering Your Costs

A recent eMarketer article
(http://www.emarketer.com/Article/aspx?R=1007064) sites that "in
the wake of the global economic downturn, marketers worldwide are
shifting more of their budgets into cheaper, more-measurable
categories. In most cases, that means online."

Your marketing budget is only so big and online marketing can
stretch it even farther for you. TV and radio spots are
expensive, printing costs for corporate and product brochures are
expensive and traditional mailings cost not only in materials and
postage, but deplete the environment as well. Why not direct
potential customers to your website for information on products
and services? Your website is your brochure, a marketing tool
available 24 hours a day to prospective customers. Your revenue
potential will increase while your costs diminish.

Offline marketing ads for newspapers, TV and radio are for a
limited time and you pay for the time slot and space. In online
marketing, your ads potentially can stay up longer and over time
you end up paying less. Using article marketing, you could either
write an article yourself or pay someone else to write it. When
that article is distributed online, it stays on the Internet for
many years. For a small cost, you've placed a marketing
proposition that stays around indefinitely, pointing potential
customers to your website and your products and services.

Compared to traditional marketing or telemarketing, email
marketing costs very little. These targeted messages go directly
into the homes and offices of your potential or existing
customers.

Reaching a Larger Market and a Targeted Market

The Internet allows people from all over the world to do business
with each other.

From another recent eMarketer article,
(http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1006988) in 2009, more
than 65% of Americans are Internet users. They're not only
checking e-mail and Twittering, they are shopping for products
and services.

With traditional media, your ads are restricted to a specific
location for a limited time. When you promote your business
online, you reach a larger audience than you would ever be able
to reach otherwise since your marketing activity is not
restricted by location. More potential customers always equal
more sales opportunities.

Online marketing allows you to target specific demographics such
as age, location, gender and income levels and in many cases
allows you to track the behaviors of these groups as they
interact with your online marketing.

It can also bring a branding campaign to life in a new way. This
unique consumer interaction with your brand can leverage
emotional links to your brand. Instead of a brand talking to a
customer, your customer can interact with and experience your
brand. This is intelligent brand marketing. You can influence
people at the perfect time - their time, right when they are
looking for information, comparison shopping and possibly buying.

Flexibility and Tangible Tracking

Online marketing can include email, newsletters, blogs,
microblogs, podcasts, video and social media sites. All of these
outlets have the ability to be flexible. An ad placed in a
magazine or newspaper can't be changed until the next
submission. With online marketing you'll know very quickly if a
campaign is working and you can change wording or graphics and
adapt product information to match changing market conditions.

The Internet also removes any guesswork from measuring campaign
results. Using web analytics, you can measure the number of
visitors that a campaign brings to your website, how long they
stay and the average number of pages they visit. This important
information along with the flexibility, allows you to improve the
conversion of your campaign and to increase your return on
investment.

Instant Conversion Ability

Online marketing allows you to convert a shopper to a customer
instantly. A potential customer reading a traditional newspaper
ad does not have the ability to click a mouse and buy your
product or service immediately. Offline marketing involves more
time and money to convert a shopper into a sale.

Online ads allow direct response. Consumers can click to learn
more about a product, sign up for a newsletter or RSS feed, or
buy right then and there. This will in turn create a database for
you, which, with email marketing, will allow you to reach people
who have already expressed an interest in your product or
service. And online marketing allows you to sell to anyone,
anywhere and at any time. You're not restricted by time,
geography and location considerations.

Internet marketing includes strategies such as search engine
optimization (SEO), pay per click marketing (PPC), article
marketing, blog marketing, online brandcasting, social media
marketing and many more interactive marketing services.

While these strategies may seem daunting at first, with a little
research, you can use some of these tools to help you optimize
your website and increase web traffic. Or, if you have it in your
budget, there are companies that specialize in many SEO services.

There are many benefits to both online and offline marketing. A
mix of the two might be just what your business needs to grow.

For Snazzier New Product Names, Use Creative Naming Prompts
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Participants in my product development seminar recently asked me
for a brainstorming session to help them come up with creative
names for information product packages - multi-format products
and services that might include a manual, CDs, coaching or
consulting and other items.

Here are the questions I posed for this group, along with some
examples illustrating product names developed from each idea.

1. What is the result your customers want?

  * Lose Weight Before Bikini Season

  * Finish Your First Marathon

  * The Fame and Fortune Program

  * Double Your Donor Base

2. Who are your customers?

  * Fun Fundraising for Museums

  * The Shy Person's Guide to Networking

  * Wanna Change the World? Social Entrepreneurship 101

3. What is the problem you solve?

  * Coach Kids' Soccer Even If You Never Played Yourself

  * Kicking Procrastination Out of Your Life

  * The "Home Depot's Coming to Town" Survival Guide for
Hardware Stores

  * Home Study Challenges Solved

4. What do happy customers say?

  * "We Built a House Ourselves!" The 10-Month Action Plan

  * The "I Used to Be Fat" Course

  * The People-Recognize-Me-Everywhere Publicity Program

5. What does your product particularly have or not have?

  * The Lose Weight Eating Chocolate Plan

  * The Earth-Friendly Lawn Care Guide

  * The No-Discipline Method of Kicking Procrastination

  * No-Rules Parenting

6. What's the customer's fondest fantasy?

  * Getting Through Your Teen's Years Still Sane

  * The Tonight Show, Here You Come!

  * Build a Four-Generation Family Business Dynasty

  * Multi-millionaire by Your Tenth College Reunion

Whatever sort of product you are creating, these questions can
help. Take a look at the words and ideas generated from each
brainstorming prompt, then combine, recombine and tweak them
further, looking for an appealing succession of words that clicks
with you and has great potential to do so with customers as well.

Clean Your Office and Get Back Six Weeks of Time!
Copyright (c) 2009 Rochelle Melander
Right Now! Coach
http://www.rightnowcoach.com



The Wall Street Journal reported that people lose as much as six
weeks a year just searching for information. Can you afford that
kind of time loss? No one can. Yes, you can work in chaos—but you
are going to lose time and focus. You will work more efficiently
when your workspace is clutter free. Start by committing yourself
to a clean desktop. You cannot think about big ideas if your
desktop is full of action items. Here's how to make your office
clutter free right now.

1. Move (or move out) Keepsakes. Keepsakes can be just as
distracting as stacks of work—and they need to be dusted! Move
half of your keepsakes out of your office. Cindy Arlinsky,
founder of Organizing Matters suggests moving the remainder of
your keepsakes off your desk and onto walls or shelves.

2. Move the Tools. So what else do you keep on your desk—an
electronic pencil sharpener, paper clips, and a stapler? Gayle
Goddard, The Clutter Fairy, says, "If you have a bunch of office
tools on the desk that you use less than once a day, get them off
the desk. Put them in a file cabinet or on a bookcase or in a
closet." Keep only your most essential office tools on your
desk.

3. Create Color-Coded Action Files. Give each one of your work
projects a color-coded action file. Use your desk drawer for
these action files. "That one drawer is prime real estate that
can be reached while you are sitting in the desk chair. That
drawer should be used for your current action files," says Gayle
Goddard. "That way whatever you are working on currently is
immediately accessible while you work, and can be easily put away
at the end of each day to clear off your desk."

4. Create Project Shelves for writing and work projects that need
more space than a file or two. Each book I am writing gets a
shelf. That way, I can keep a project notebook, research
materials, and research books visible and in one place. I've now
added shelves for clients and other work projects. It keeps the
information off my desk (and floor) but still in sight.

5. Hello Notepad. Is your computer hard to see because you've
covered it with real and electronic sticky notes reminding you to
call the doctor? STOP! Organizer Cindy Arlinsky says, "Jot down
phone numbers, order confirmations, travel data, and other urgent
information in ONE spot. You'll save time retrieving information
and minimize clutter."

6. The Magic Twenty. Set aside 20 minutes at the end of each day
to clean up your office. Deal with the emails in your inbox. Put
away project files and tools. Toss extra papers. Return dirty
dishes to the kitchen. Then shut down the computer, turn off the
lights, and close the door.

A clean, well-organized office will make you more productive.
Besides that, you'll have reclaimed the time you used to spend
searching for information. With that extra time, you'll be able
to take on more work or even take a vacation!

Finding More About A Potential Expired Domain Buyer
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Expired Domain Secret
http://www.expireddomainsecret.com



Selling your expired domains to a potential buyer could be a very
tricky issue. Segregating a serious buyer from a casual one is
very difficult as you may deal and interact with hundreds of
them. Some of them may be very dedicated expired domain traders
who are looking for very good domains expired while a number of
others are not too serious in their buying intentions. In fact,
non-serious expired domain traders keep looking for their domain
names but never buy one. Finding a potential buyer is very
difficult when someone does not learn and master the techniques
of domain trading. Here are five important things that you must
remember before selling your stock of domain names:

1. Finding the location where your buyer lives could be a tough
task. Most of them are almost anonymous when they quote their
price. Most of them also send their messages through their email
ID's. Hence, you will need to know from which location your
prospective buyer is sending his or her e-mail. Make sure that
you are checking for clues about the origin of e-mails you
receive from the buyers. To find out the location from where you
are getting e-mails from, you can use tracking software to check
the origin of the mails. However, the sender can send e-mail from
a location that is entirely different from his or her place of
actual residence.

2. Most of the newbie or minor domain traders bid or buy domains
on their own. However, some traders solicit the professional help
of a broker or a lawyer while buying domain names. You will need
to know whether the buyer who is showing an interest in your
domain is using professional help. Such buyers could be very
choosy and methodic as they look for every detail about the
domain name, its origin, previous history, legal status and
registrar details.

3. Some expired domain traders make it a point to call their
buyer to talk to them about the domain and its price. When you
interact with a buyer through a telephone, you can make out if
they are really showing an interest in your domain. Their voice
and the confidence with which they talk can provide many clues.

4. Does the potential buyer ask for precise details about your
expired domains? If yes, he or she is sending a clear signal that
your expired domains are good enough for buying.

Whatever the case, never sell your domain names for a price that
you feel is very low for its perceived quality. If you are happy
with the price offer, you can definitely sell your domains almost
immediately. If possible request your buyer to chat with you
about the purchase; video chatting is possibly the best and the
safest way to sell your domain names. Once you strike a deal, you
can ask your buyer to deposit the money in an escrow account; an
escrow account can safeguard the deal for both of you with mutual
guarantees.

Write a Book and Catapult Your Company to New Heights by Branding Yourself As an
Expert
Copyright (c) 2009 Charles Jacobs
Retire And Write
http://www.retireandwrite.com



Taming the recessionary tiger is not as difficult as you think.
Forget the old patterns of spending big bucks to buy advertising
or blast postal mailings to thousands of possible buyers. The
dollars aren't there to spend in a broken economy. Today every
penny has to count, and that happens only when you define your
market exactingly and tailor a message that is meaningful to it.

We are in a world of specialization. People in every niche seek
information both on and off line. You can be the person to whom
they turn to find that information. There is a way to brand
yourself as an expert and to make your business or professional
office the place customers or clients think of first. When
reporters need a quote or perhaps some background material for a
story they're working on, make sure they turn to you, not to one
of your competitors.

Raising Your Reputation

It is almost axiomatic that your reputation rises to new heights
when you write and publish a book. And in today's world, for the
first time it is easy, fast and inexpensive to turn your words
into print.

New printing technology has give birth to a new generation of
publishers. Publishing on Demand (POD) has swept through the
industry, churning out thousands of books and boosting the
reputations of their authors. With this process, books can be
printed in any quantity you need to use as promotional tools.
They can be rapid-reading booklets of 30 or 40 pages or they can
be full blown books of anywhere from 75 to 200 or more pages.

Journalism today has moved strongly into specialization. You can
send the book to members of the press and to broadcast
journalists who write about topics related to your product. They
may review your book or simply write a blurb about it, sending
hundreds of readers to your web site, office or store.

Once recognized as a leader in your field, you may well be asked
to speak at various functions, adding further to your reputation.
All of these possibilities are part of the program of branding
yourself...identifying yourself as an expert.

Getting Assistance

Perhaps you have a talented staff member who can write the book
with you. Or even for you. You certainly have the option of
turning to a professional writer to ghost write the book. It is
done frequently. If you don't require that degree of assistance,
contact a Book Coach to help you over the occasional bumps.

It is highly likely that your business is already represented by
a web site on the Internet. Add a page to the site about yourself
and about your book. What a wonderful opportunity to sell your
book from the site and not have to pay commissions.

You may want to piggy back on the book and write articles for
distribution throughout the Web. Hundreds of thousands of people
will see your piece and hopefully a percentage will respond. You
can distribute these articles at no cost by using online article
distributors.

Once your book has been written, you can take portions of it and
either rewrite them or run them as excerpts. In either case, your
workload is minimal because you are drawing on something you have
already written.

Writing for Trade Journals

You undoubtedly read some of the trade journals published in your
field. Editors of these publications are hungry for informative,
meaningful articles. They care far less about your writing style
or ability than they do about the content you can provide. Their
staffs can polish what you write and turn it into quality pieces,
but they must first rely on you to supply the content.

Every article you write offers a perfect opportunity to attract
business. The article itself must be informative. It can't be a
press release or a selling tool for you or your product. But at
the end, as you have seen so many times when you read, the bio
box about the author becomes a free advertisement for you.

Fill the box with information that invites your reader to visit
your web site or buy your product. Provide enough information to
allow the reader to trust you because of your credentials. Never
forget that trust is a major factor in attracting a potential and
closing a sale.

By following this approach you quickly build confidence in your
expertise and as a result in your product. Print and broadcast
journalists today search the Web for likely stories and for
experts who can be used in those stories. A few references to you
or your business in print or on the air will raise your rate of
sale to unexpected heights.

If you are running a practice or a business, you are a
knowledgeable professional or an informed businessperson. Harness
that unique background and turn it into one of the most
inexpensive, but most effective methods of branding yourself as
an expert and promoting your company as one of the leaders in its
field. It is an ideal way to offset the depression blues.

How To Use Your Race To Get Rich

Article Description:
====================

Amid recent news reports that there continues to be an ongoing
and substantial gap between the net worth of Whites and other
racial groups, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the
raw data. However, I am immediately reminded of a quote offered
by an economic expert from the past... "There are lies, damned
lies, and statistics!"

How To Use Your Race To Get Rich
Copyright (c) 2009 Herbert Harris
Black Business Builders
http://www.blackbusinessbuilders.com/bbb7.htm?4414



Amid recent news reports that there continues to be an ongoing
and substantial gap between the net worth of Whites and other
racial groups, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the
raw data.

However, I am immediately reminded of a quote offered by an
economic expert from the past... "There are lies, damned lies,
and statistics!"

Despite the real fact that the same set of stats can be skewed to
represent almost any point of view (consider elected officials,
talk show hosts, those who steal in the name of God, et al),
knowing this does not prevent many of us from being swayed in our
thinking - and actions - by the masters of sophistry.

The ability of an individual to look at twin newborn gorillas and
deem one a cover girl (cover gorilla?) and the other a
repulsively ugly thing is indeed a most interesting truism
concerning human behavior.

This tendency, better known as hypocrisy, is possibly the most
pivotal factor leading to interpersonal, and sadly, inter-racial
strife. As a student of history I always attempt to place things
in historical perspective.

In the book, "The Richest Man In Babylon", the author provides
economic advice that would enable any person of any color or
ethnicity to acquire, maintain and indeed increase wealth by
following a few time-proven principles. Bill Bennett provided
similar advice with his three core admonitions... "...Graduate
from high school, avoid out of wedlock childbirth and live within
your means."

The most interesting thing about the advice given by these two
authors, widely separated by time and culture, is the universal
applicability of these basic economic principles to all
individuals; in all times and all places with few exceptions.

So the bottom line becomes not what someone has done to you, but
how you respond to it. Question. To the countless people who have
lost jobs, homes, hopes, insurance, dreams, 401Ks, the ability to
send kids to college, their dignity, and in some cases their very
lives, does it matter who or what caused or created the
conditions for their current situation?

Faced with foreclosure, mounting credit card debt, other
financial obligations of all kinds, do you seek to place blame
for your situation on someone or something that caused it all?

For sure it's prudent to understand the factors that created
this now pandemic pecuniary pain. And candidates for blame are
many and varied. There's the Federal Reserve, the sub-prime
loans, the credit default swaps, the Wall Street greed-mongers,
the naked(?) credit default swaps, the people buying houses they
could not afford, the lenders who sold them the houses,
self-serving politicians and the lobbyists who pimp them, the
Anti-Christ and countless others who can be singled out for
scorn.

Certainly there's more than enough blame to go around.

Another question. Would it help those who are jobless and
possibly hopeless to know who to blame and also be able to
inflict the deserved punishment upon them? Put another way, does
the fact that Bernie Madoff is in prison materially help those
whose fortunes and futures he stole?

I fully agree that it is paramount to expose the Bernie Madoffs
of the world and erect legal barriers to the future efforts of
those with similar agendas. And believe it, there will be plenty
more.

The answers to the two above questions are yes and no. For those
living with fear and despair due to job loss, yes it is indeed
important to understand how their current situation arose and to
take action to prevent it in the future. But it is no real solace
that big-time CEOs get derided in the press for their golden
parachutes. And "Behind Bars Bernie" still hasn't accounted
for tens of billions in lucre with which he "Made-off" that
will cause multi-generational financial woes.

There is a certain satisfaction in knowing that a murderer is
behind bars or (preferably) pushing up daisies, but it doesn't
bring his or her victim(s) back to life. Survivors must live with
that fact.

  At this point I'm reminded of another old saying provided by an
obviously observant individual, "It is better to light a candle
than to curse the darkness."

If you're one of the many suffering financial displacement and
possibly feeling desperate and hopeless please take a minute and
watch this short video. I triple-dog challenge you to do so with
dry eyes.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MslbhDZoniY&feature=player_embedded

There's not too much to add to the message of that video. I'm
minus a kidney as a cancer survivor. (Read my Stage -4 story at:
http://whosafraidofcancer.blogspot.com/)

But I much prefer that to being armless and legless. I'd rather
be a person of any color or race and in any financial condition
than be totally limbless.

And whether you're Black, White, Asian, Hispanic or Native
American, being jobless and hopeless feels the same. But the
beauty of it all is that just like we all can suffer individually
or en masse, we can all also prosper the same.

Trust me; despite the mind-boggling amount of money that's being
created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, and the
relatively few well enough-connected people who will grow wealthy
and wealthier when it's doled out, there is no government
bail-out for you and me.

If you desire to change your current financial situation and
establish a solid wall of protection against the global market
forces that simultaneously render millions jobless and a relative
few wealthy beyond imagination, then you must take action.

If a man with no limbs can become a worldwide inspiration for
those with two arms and two legs, surely you and I can ride the
coattails of a man like Lee Green, founder of the National Black
Business Trade Association, the Black Business Space social
network and creator of the Black Business Builders Club.

I compare this opportunity to reading a book. The author has done
all the hard work of researching, writing and having it edited
and published. How hard is it for me to just pick it up and read
it?

If you're one who desires to prosper, I invite you to look at an
excellent way to do so. But there is one irrevocable requirement.
You must be a member of a particular racial group. There are no
exceptions to this requirement.

Over a more than 30 year period Lee Green has learned how to
fine-tune his online marketing techniques and has developed,
after paying his dues to become an expert, what is in my opinion
the most comprehensive program for taking the willing of any
skill level and leading them to economic freedom.

Mr. Green's techniques, presented in his newly released "The
Black Folks Guide To Making Big Money On The Internet", provide
the opportunity to finally experience the "Holy Grail" that all
home-based entrepreneurs seek - RESIDUAL INCOME!

Finally someone has created a program that actually provides the
real training and resources needed for anyone willing to work a
little to experience the success that many desire but never
achieve. When you compare what you get to what the monthly
membership costs, you will realize that almost all of the other
so-called opportunities have only been over-promising and under-
or never delivering. Lots of out of pocket with little or no
results.

I know it sounds somewhat cliché, but the old saying is still
true... If you don't already have a "Plan B" you're either
already wealthy or extremely naive. Which group are you in?

So if your candle is out, let the Black Business Builders Club
provide the training and tools to help you re-light it so that
you can see your way to financial freedom at last. Members of the
BBBC get the "Black Folks Guide" at no cost. So light your
candle and get out of the rat race. And really it's not so much
the race as it is the rats. Get away from them now!

If you're a member of the right racial group and are ready for
your very own Economic Stimulus Plan and financial freedom, then
take a look at the tremendous opportunity that Lee Green has
created and provided for you to be able to do just that; at a
price you won't believe!

PS: To be eligible for membership you must belong to one (or
more) of the following racial groups:

1. A group that requires food

2. A group that requires clothing

3. A group that requires shelter

Okay, you're the proud mama or papa to your brand new website.
Now what? This isn't like the movies - just because you built it
doesn't mean they'll come. The Internet is a huge limitless
space with ever-growing numbers of websites. You are just one
small website among millions. How will anybody ever find you? How
do you become visible? Right now, you just exist out in the web,
untethered. You need to become visible when someone searches for
you and one way to become visible to people is to become visible
to search engines. And one way to become visible to search
engines such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN is for your site to be
tethered, or linked to other sites.

If you've spent any time reading Internet marketing blogs you
know that link building is a huge part of a marketing campaign.
Backlinks - links that point to your website - are a major factor
in determining your popularity or ranking with the search
engines. And of course, just like in high school, you want to be
popular.

You can buy your way into links, but here we're talking about a
few free and easy ways. An obvious and natural way to build links
is through content. When you start a link-building campaign for
your new website, focus on attracting links that will add value
for your website visitors and best represent your most important
keywords too. It is invaluable to have visitors go to your site
and share your content.

Here are a few easy and mostly free ways to build links for your
website.

Blog-Based Link Building

One way to get natural links back to your website is by setting
up a blog for your company. Make sure you network online with
other blogs that complement yours. If you share industry news and
have useful and relevant content, you'll attract links.
Reference other bloggers in your content and link to other blogs
in your industry.

For blogs, content is extremely important. Every time you add
words to your blog or website, you are presenting yourself to a
potentially huge audience. How does your blog's content reflect
your company? This content could be the page that carries your
company's name around the Internet world. Cheap content is just
that - cheap. Create content that people want to read and that
will make them come back again and again.

Reviewing products and services and posting those reviews on
other sites is another way to build links. Your honest
evaluations and smart opinions can also build your reputation as
an expert in your field.

Link Building with Social Media

Another way to build natural links to your website is through
social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter.
These sites allow you to set up a user profile where you can add
information about you and your company including a link to your
website.

Some sites, Facebook for example, also have a way to promote your
business with a page, ad or group. Just keep in mind that there
are good ways and bad ways to promote your business on social
sites and you should observe proper etiquette when you do.

Link Building with Organizations and Directories

If your industry has professional organizations or associations
that you belong to, check with them and see if they have an
online directory with links to member sites. They may or may not
charge a fee for this. If they do, it shouldn't be much.

Check with your local Chamber of Commerce or Better Business
Bureau. Links from sites like these can be very helpful. Check
with other local businesses and organizations that have lists of
businesses and request links from them, too.

Online directories are another opportunity to look into. Yahoo!
Directory is a good one. If your business is in a specific
geographical area, you might also find some local directories to
submit to that will boost your local visibility.

Links from Charities or Non-profits

If your company makes charitable donations to organizations and
non-profits, see if they have a "donors" list on their website
and ask if they will link to your website.

Links from Press Releases

Has your business just started or have you just launched a new
product? A press release is a great idea to announce your news.
There are quite a few press release distribution services
available and some have a free first time offer.

Links from Partners

If your website offers information about other partner websites
like business directories, you should make sure to use all your
linking potential. You could have a badge that your partner could
put on their site linking to you and one for your site that links
to theirs.

If you have an RSS feed or a widget on your site that has good
value to visitors, those can be taken from your website and
displayed on another person's website, linking back to your
site.

The Internet is constantly evolving and there are thousands of
ways to build links. Look around at other websites and see what
they have and how they work. Look at your business, think outside
the box and you might come up with other ways to develop links.
If it all seems like too much, there are many online consulting
companies that can help with link building, SEO optimization and
brandcasting.

All The Good Domains Have Disappeared! Find Me A Good Expire Domain Name!
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Expired Domain Secret
http://www.expireddomainsecret.com



It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy a good expired
domain these days, because almost all words in a Standard English
dictionary have been used to register domain names! Generic and
single, two or three letter names are no longer available, unless
you buy them at a hefty price. Most of the names available in an
expired domain portfolio are just good enough to get you very
small income. The secret key to expired domain business is buying
one that possesses a flood of incoming links and traffic. If you
find a domain name that has this kind of traffic, you can just go
ahead and buy it depending on the price bracket.

Look at some of the following domain names that saw astronomical
sums quoted by their owners!

* Business.com – $7.5 millions

* Altavista.com – $3.3 millions

* Loans.com – $3 millions

* Wallstreet.com – $1.03 millions

Most of these domains are premium. Because they are either single
dictionary, word or they represent immense business value to the
domain. Such names are very difficult to purchase and most of
them may never see the open market in their lifetime. Thousands
of them still exist in private auction sales, where an ordinary
domain trader will find it very difficult to participate in the
bidding process.

If other traders already purchase all the great domain names,
what is left for you? How do you buy expired domain names that
you can sell in the market? Can you buy domain names with at
least some commercial value? It is as difficult as finding a
small pin in a big pile of grass! However, there are still hopes
left for you, because you can still buy some good names that you
can sell for decent profits. Just remember that domain-trading
business is a sum game, where you will be selling a number of
expired domain names for small profits. Also, note that selling
just one or two major expired domain names is not actually a
lucrative proposition. You may end up in chasing for these names
without any productive results and spend considerable amount of
time and energy.

Good domains are those nuggets or gold that can be your
invaluable assets for life! On the other hand, you can never keep
those nuggets of gold forever, because they will be useless to
keep with you when you speak in terms of commercial viability.
Common sense dictates that you must sell them for decent profits
as soon as possible. Only exception here is that you may keep
those domain names that are organic and generic with one, two or
three words. Such domain names are the real gems that you can
preserve for selling at astronomical sums.

Before you want to buy expired domain names, you may wish to
learn the techniques of detecting good expired domain names
from a big pool of expired domain names. You can use a number
of sophisticated and efficient tools and methods that have the
ability to seek and detect excellent domain names.

5 Reasons Why Most Internet Marketers Fail
Copyright (c) 2009 Titus Hoskins
Bizware Magic
http://www.bizwaremagic.com



When it comes to starting any endeavor, whether it be learning a
new hobby or starting an online business, we all have to start at
ground zero. We all have to start at the very beginning from the
very same place. Granted, we each bring different skills and
backgrounds into the mix, but for the most part we are all on
equal footing at the starting line.

If this is the case, then we really have to ponder why is it only
a choice few go on to succeed, while most people don't. Just
what are the reasons why most online marketers fail? This is the
core question that has to be answered if you want to fully
understand Internet marketing and how it works.

What are these basic reasons?

What are the causes or stumbling blocks that hold many marketers
and webmasters from reaching their full online potential? If we
know these factors, we can learn how to avoid them and even
overcome them in our own online marketing. These reasons can be a
solid reference point or even a source of inspiration for any
online marketer just starting out.

Speaking from the viewpoint of someone who has started from the
very beginning with little to no knowledge of computers or even
marketing for that matter, I can honestly relate to the beginning
marketer. I even had to learn HTML from scratch in order to
construct my own webpages. Probably my only advantage, I did have
a background in art but designing webpages was completely
different from anything I had done previously to starting in
online marketing.

Nor did I have any formal training in business or marketing, just
an art teaching background which really doesn't help with the
day to day running of an online business. I had to learn as I
went; struggling with hundreds of marketing decisions before my
sites became profitable. Don't get the wrong impression, I have
probably made hundreds of mistakes along the way and I am still
making them!

But from my own experiences I have drawn some general conclusions
about Internet marketing and why some people succeed while most
people fail. So here in my honest opinion, are some of the main
reasons why many online marketers fail:

1. Overwhelmed With Information

Perhaps, one of the biggest obstacles I faced when I first
started my website - I was bombarded with so much information on
how to proceed I didn't have a clue which direction to take or
who to believe. Thousands of different info products telling you
to do this, not to do that... so much marketing information to
absorb that you end up scratching your head and looking like
someone auditioning for a zombie movie.

Completely overwhelmed with so much information, many marketers
or webmasters enter a state of paralysis where nothing gets done.
You go from one course to another or from one method to another,
without any real understanding of how to proceed or how to get a
detailed blueprint to follow.

Been there, done that!

Information overflow can effectively crush all that novice
enthusiasm and literally kill even the most eager of
entrepreneurs. Anyone starting out must be aware of this obvious
but insidious pitfall you have to avoid at all costs. One of the
best remedies, simply try concentrating on just one or two
marketing plans/marketers for all your information. Try to
eliminate the clutter by just working on one marketing system.
Just have a few key marketing resources you go to for
information, not a hundred! And do your homework, only pick
marketers who can back up their claims with observable results on
the web. One obvious checkmark - just see if those marketers have
top rankings for their sites for popular profitable keywords
associated with their sites or products.

2. Lack Of Key Marketing Basics

There are some key marketing basics or fundamentals you must
learn about marketing online. Internet marketing has some key
elements you must get right or you will have a difficult task in
succeeding on the web. Just simple factors you must get right or
it's game over before you even get started.

Most marketers fail to realize the web is "information driven"
and you must supply quality information or content in order to
truly succeed. You must provide a valuable service or function to
your visitors. You must help solve their problem. You must give
them a solid reason to use your site or product. Quality content
is and always will be King on the web.

You must also understand much of the web is "keyword driven"
and you must construct your webpages to take full advantage of
these keywords. You must have at least a rudimentary
understanding of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and how you can
use it to get top rankings for your keyword phrases.

3. Lack Of Time And Resources

Another major reason why many marketers fail is because they
simply can't afford the time to learn and build their online
business. Most people just can't stop everything and work full
time online because they have bills to pay and families to
support. It may take months, probably years, before you can build
up a successful online business that gives you a comfortable
living. The average person just doesn't have the time or the
resources to spend months learning how all this works.

Keep in mind, getting a business or website going is probably the
most inexpensive way to start your own business. Domains are
cheap. Web hosting is cheap. Web design is cheap if you can do it
yourself... compared to starting a business in the "real"
world, creating an online business will only cost a faction of
the normal expenses connected with starting a business. But the
main problem is having the resources to pay your living expenses
until your online business is profitable. Many beginning online
marketers don't have these resources and the main complaint from
these marketers: "I Simply can't afford the time to work at
this online stuff."

One solution is to work at your online marketing in your spare
time and gradually build up your business until you can afford to
do it full time. It will obviously take longer but you can still
get to the same end goal.

4. Lack Of Necessary Skills

Actually, you don't need many skills to succeed online. However,
one of the major skills you must have or you must learn is
communication. You must learn how to communicate. The web is all
about communicating your points to your visitors or viewers so
you must acquire good communication skills.

It really helps your marketing if you are a good writer because
you can easily get your points across with written text or copy
on your site. Writing skills can be learned but many beginning
marketers don't fully understand how important their writing
skills will be to their success. You must be able to communicate
on your site, in your newsletters, with your customers... might
sound a bit obvious but you would be surprised at how many
marketers lack this simple, yet necessary skill.

But don't fret, because once upon a time, the written word was
king online - but not any more. Videos are rapidly taking the
place of the printed word so anyone with a camera can now be a
success online. Of course, you still need good communication
skills even using videos, but many marketers have found this is a
much easier way to communicate information about their site or
product.

5. Lack Of Persistence

For me, one the most significant reasons most online
marketers/webmasters fail, is because of a lack of persistence.
They simply give up too soon. They try something for a few weeks,
even for a few months and then they conclude this is not working
and they give up.

Building a solid online business or viable website takes time, a
lot of time. Just because your business is online, doesn't mean
everything will fall into place overnight, it takes time to
establish a customer base. It takes time to build your business
relationships and partnerships with others in your field.

Sometimes, it may take years before you see some solid returns.
It was three years before I saw any significant revenue coming
from my online ventures, and another year before I could summon
enough courage to do this online marketing full time. If I had
given up and not persisted at this web stuff, I would not be
writing this article right now.

Building top rankings for your keywords in the search engines
(especially Google) can take months, even years before you see
any results. The real key is to be persistent and keep at it, day
after day, until you get those top rankings. You simply must be
persistent or you will fail.

In conclusion, having said all that, you must also realize there
are plenty of exceptions to all of the above. There have been
countless success stories on the web where someone has come up
with a novel idea or product and become successful overnight. The
web can offer immediate success for some but for most of us, it
will take some time and hard effort on our part to build a
successful online business. Just try to avoid many of the
pitfalls or reasons listed above and you will have a better
chance of placing yourself in the success column.

For Word of Mouth Marketing, Make Sure Your New Company Name is Sayable
Copyright (c) 2009 Marcia Yudkin

Take it from someone who often has to rescue someone from
mispronunciation or suffer silently when someone reads my last
name out loud for the first time: There is huge value in having a
name that people can look at and have no doubt about how to
pronounce.

That's why I shook my head sadly when I saw the following line
in a magazine ad:

"Vovici [vo-vee-see] - the future of online surveys"

For English speakers, pronouncing the company name "Vovici" is
totally unintuitive. One uncertainty would be bad enough, but it
actually has four trouble spots for someone seeing the name and
trying to pronounce it. The "o" could be long or short, the
first "i" could be long or short, the emphasis could belong on
either the first or the second syllable, and the "c" could be
pronounced either like an "s" or like "ch," as in Latin.

But if you instruct people how to pronounce it, as in this
magazine ad, isn't that OK? No, not unless you have the budget
to make that pronunciation famous through radio or television
ads. You'll constantly be fighting several handicaps.

1. With a name that's hard to pronounce, fewer people will say
it. Most people hate making mistakes, dislike being corrected and
therefore would feel embarrassed to be tripping over pronouncing
a six-letter company name. So, many will simply avoid saying it.
That means fewer people will recommend the company to others in
conversation. People might even go so far as to avoid situations
in which they need to confront their uncertainty about the
name's pronunciation - like avoiding the company's sales reps.

2. A name that's hard to pronounce is also often harder to
remember. That means less impact from many of the dollars spent
on marketing. It will cost more to get the same results than with
a name that's easy to pronounce.

3. You need to spend considerable time and energy on the issue of
pronunciation rather than on what the company does. Very often
you also need to explain the derivation or meaning of the name,
not just how to say it. For instance, Cuil, the name of the
search engine, looks like a nonsensical and unpronounceable
combination of letters to most Americans. "Cuil is an old Irish
word for knowledge," says the company on its About page.
Strangely, they do not say there that it should be pronounced
"cool," though they do so in their press releases.

4. People won't know how to spell an unpronounceable name. And
on the web, that is disastrous. If someone overhears buzz about a
new search engine called "cool," they are going to look it up
at cool.com or maybe at kool.com. Not one in a billion would look
for it at cuil.com unless they were previously clued in.

Saddling your company with a name that you need to instruct
people how to pronounce means putting it at a distinct
disadvantage. Spend a little more time and selectivity in naming
to give your organization the comfortable boost it deserves.

How The Internet Has Changed The World...
Copyright (c) 2007-2009 Braxton Heitz
Jobs And Paychecks
http://www.jobsandpaychecks.com/



As most of us sit down at our computers each day, we might
realize that we have begun to take this Information Age for
granted. What would we do if we did not have 24/7 Internet
connections to keep us connected to the world?


Online Bill Pay

When it is time to pay bills, we logon to the Internet, pull out
our debit cards or credit cards, and then we get to work paying
our bills online. It is no longer the case where we have to sit
down at the dining room table with our checkbook, a stack of
bills, and a book of stamps.

Back in those dark days of the pre-Internet existence, we were
not yet done with bill paying when we licked that last stamp.
Instead, we had to jump in the car and run down to the post
office to get the checks in the mail. If we had paid our bills
close to their deadlines, then we had to sweat whether our
payment would arrive on time. If we were really worried about our
payment arriving at the other end of the transaction on time, we
would take time out of our lunch hour to run to the bill
collector's office to make our payment just under the wire.


Mom Online

Yes, back in those old days, we used to call mom on the phone
once a week to check in and catch up. Now, we can logon to our
favorite Internet chat client or call her on our Internet phone
and talk to mom everyday. We can even share pictures of the kids
with mom through our Myspace accounts.


Online Education

Back in those grand old days, if we wanted to learn something of
value to our lives, we needed to go to the library or bookstore
and check out or buy a book that would answer our questions about
the world around us. It was either that or we had to enroll at a
nearby college and take classes relevant to our interests.

Today, it is much different. Nearly any topic that might be of
interest to us can be learned, after a trip to our favorite
search engines. We might have to pay to gain access to the
information we want, but in many cases, information is handed out
like candy on Halloween, on the Internet.

We could even go further and enroll at a major university online.
We can now take classes and get a degree at our favorite
university or college, even if we live one thousand miles away
from the school.


Local Shopping

Back in the day, in order to find out what great sales were
running at the national chains, we had to subscribe to a
newspaper for the full week and take the time to review the paper
everyday to make sure we did not miss those important sales.

Now, we pop open an Internet browser and navigate to the website
of the chain store we are interested and click through to their
sales circular page. What does Wal-Mart have on sale? Let's go
to their webpage. What about Napa Auto Parts stores? Let's go
their webpage. How about "Ace, the helpful hardware place"?
Let's load up their website. Walgreens --- what kinds of
specials do "they" have this week? We are off to see the wizard,
the wonderful wizard of Oz (also known as Al Gore, the guy who
"invented" the Internet).


Comparison Shopping

Before the World Wide Web, if we wanted to know the "skinny" on a
particular product we were interested in buying, we would need to
ask friends. For an expert opinion, we would need to subscribe to
Consumer Reports, or take our chances by visiting the local store
that sold the product and have faith that the salesperson was not
loading our brains full of commission-biased opinion.

These days, we can go online to learn all about any single
product or service we might be interested in purchasing. Even
better, we can look at a cross-section of products under the same
classification and make an intelligent decision based on factual
research. If we put our minds to it, we could even pull up
customer reviews on the products we want to purchase.

The sky is the limit. We can do as little or as much research as
we would like to do on a single product or service and be happy
with our final decision.


Dig Up In-Depth Product Specifications

Sometimes, we can trust the Sears salesman not to lead us astray
in our purchase selections. It is pretty straight forward as to
which brand of wrenches will give us the best performance over
many years or to find out which 27" television has the best
picture.

But, with other product groups, a cursory glance will not deliver
the be-all-end-all analysis that we need to make intelligent
shopping decisions. Such examples include insurance products or
financial products such as credit cards and loans.

If you have to ask yourself what the difference between a
term-life insurance policy and a whole-life policy, then you need
to get some really in-depth information to make a good purchase
decision. There are insurance websites and information websites
that will pass this kind of information along to you. They may
even let you apply online for a new insurance policy and give you
an instant approval for your new policy.

The same mindset will often accompany your interest in learning
about credit card products. With so many choices and options
available, it is hard to know which credit card offer or credit
card rewards program will be best for your needs.

The beauty of the Internet is that the answer to all of these
questions and more are right at your fingertips.

Credit card offers range from gas credit cards, student credit
cards, low APR credit cards and even 0% interest credit cards.
Among this range of credit card types and special offers, many
banks also offer credit card points in the form of airline miles,
credit card travel rewards, cash-back rewards programs, and store
credit at your favorite chain stores or restaurants.

So, how do you know which credit card will be best for your
needs? All you have to do is to start with a plan as to what you
would like to gain from a credit card, and eliminate credit card
offers that do not match your needs. Then do a side-by-side
analysis of those credit card offers that remain to see which one
will deliver to you the best value for your dollars.

Don't be afraid to dig in and get the facts on any product you
may be interested in buying. I have learned a lot on the Internet
about insurance products, credit card plans, and high-definition
televisions. Even when I had questions that the Circuit City
salesperson could not answer, I was able to turn up that
important information on the Internet.


Longing For The Old Days

No, I don't really long for the old days anymore, except when my
Internet connection is down for more than just a few hours.

If I want to add a credit card to my wallet, I only need to
decide which one I want and then fill out the online credit card
application. If I want to buy car insurance, I can shop around
for the best policy and buy it right then online, without having
to go to an agent's office. If I want to shop for a better price
on my next software purchase, all I have to do is to go to a
shopping website and compare prices.

The Internet has improved the experience of my life
one-hundred-fold, and I do not want to ever have to return to
those days before dial-up. Before I came on the Internet, I did
not even know why I would want to buy more than one type of home
insurance. Now, I sweat if I might miss my payment.

If you take the time to search and research the Internet for the
information that will help you to make better shopping decisions,
you might just find as I have that the Internet is something that
you never want to live without ever again.

Article Content:

was scouring the internet for sites that have employment opportunities and I
found a site I hadn't been to before that is a lot like craigslist and is also
free. The site is Backpage but unlike Craigslist it is not a dot org. Like
Craigslist the ads are a lot of junk that refer you to sites for gifting, MLM,
business opps and adult chat. One of the ads did catch my eye and I had to
investigate it further.

If all you need is a few extra dollars you could donate plasma or blood. You
might get $25 or $30 each time. Or if you are a male you could donate sperm
every other day and get $100 each time you do it. If you are a female they will
pay you more money for your eggs The only part I don't like for guys is having
to play with yourself in a little room. There are so many adult toys for women
that you would think they would have some sort of device for men.

Being a guy myself I know for a fact that most men under the age of 40 are doing
this in their own home but yet they are not getting paid to do it. I wish I
would have known about this when I was under 40. I still remember never having
enough money and this would have made my rent and my electric an phone bill plus
probably would still leave a little bit left over.

I have been toying with the idea lately of working some of those daily work plus
daily pay jobs to help me pay my bills each Month ., There are a lot more
crazier things that people have used to earn some extra money but by donating
your sperm at least you will enjoy the work. Plus I guarantee that whatever guy
decides to do this will have a smile on their face each time.

Some day after they learn more how manipulate somebodies DNA all they will need
are some cells from donors and from this they will be able to make a clone. Like
in the movie "Jurassic Park" The dinosaurs started out fist as eggs and then
grew from there. Someday they will be able to produce babies from a donors DNA.
Maybe they will name this service Budget Babies.

If you perform a search using some of the words in this ad maybe you can find
another site like Craigslist or Backpage. unfortunately there is no person or
book that knows about all these different classified sites. New ones are born
every day and at the same time older sites are dying each and every day.

Taming the Monkey Mind
Copyright (c) 2009 Rochelle Melander
Right Now! Coach
http://www.rightnowcoach.com



Huston Smith wrote the following about meditation. He could have
been talking about writing. See what you think:

The restless mind can be likened to a crazed monkey cavorting
about its cage. Or rather a drunken crazed monkey. But more! — a
drunken crazed monkey that has St. Vitus' Dance. Even this is
insufficient. The mind is like a drunken crazed monkey with St.
Vitus' Dance who has just been stung by a wasp. Those who have
tried to meditate will not find this metaphor extreme.

What happens in your brain when you try to write? My clients
report a number of distractions and doubts. Listen in:

  * I need to do more research.

  * I'm not a real writer. I should quit.

  * Maybe I could create a product for . . .?

  * I wonder if I could find those shoes online?

  * I need to update my status on Facebook.

  * Oh, oh, oh! I have a great idea for a book.

  * Did I ever answer that email to . . .?

Take the distracting thoughts, add in a couple of ringing phones,
the ping of mail coming in, kids or coworkers stopping by with
questions—and be amazed that anyone writes anything.

Psychiatrist Edward Hallowell calls this Attention Deficit Trait.
He says, "It's a condition induced by modern life, in which
you've become so busy attending to so many inputs and outputs
that you become increasingly distracted, irritable, impulsive,
restless and, over the long term, underachieving. In other words,
it costs you efficiency because you're doing so much or trying
to do so much, it's as if you're juggling one more ball than
you possibly can."

Fortunately, the fix is easy.

1. Schedule time to think. Anyone who creates needs quiet time to
mull over ideas and organize their thoughts. It's tough to do
that when machines and people are vying for your attention.
Commit to giving yourself at least 30 minutes of quiet time each
day. Do not use this time to read, write, or talk on the phone.
Just be. Go for a walk, take a drive, or simply sit in a chair
and stare out the window.

2. Change your environment. When we spend 90% of our computer
time responding to the ping of our email or playing games on
Facebook, it can be difficult to use the same space to write a
sales letter or a poem. If possible, take your writing to a new
environment. Use a local library or coffee shop as your writing
studio. If you need to write at your computer, find ways to make
writing time different from work or play time. For example:

  * Shut the door of your office and turn off your phones.

  * Turn off all Internet access and close your email.

  * Set aside or clear away the rest of your work from the space.

  * Change your desktop's wallpaper for your writing time.

  * Use music or lighting to help define your writing time.

3. Keep a Monkey Mind file. When you write, keep open a separate
document to record the thoughts of your monkey mind. That's
where you can jot your wild ideas for new projects, possible
future careers, reminders to get gifts for your in-laws, and
anything else that your brain throws at you. At the end of your
writing time, review the monkey mind file and transfer
information to the appropriate place (your to-do list or another
project file).

Readers, take heart. Everyone who writes needs to learn how to
tame the monkey mind. Don't believe that some writers are immune
to this. They're not. They're just more experienced at getting
their minds to quiet down for a few minutes a day. Learning these
skills takes time and effort. But guess what? The more you write,
the easier it gets!

Article Marketing Advice: Increasing the Readability of Your Articles
Copyright (c) 2008-2009 Hunter Waterhouse
The Phantom Writers
http://www.thephantomwriters.com



When it comes to writing articles to promote your online
business, it's important to consider more than just your
marketing goals: it's essential that you also focus on writing
articles that people will want to read. In other words, you
don't just want to use words; and you don't want to market and
sell your business directly. Instead, you want to make an effort
to be engaging and influential.

The first tip that will help you to increase the readability of
your articles is to write with the reader's concerns in mind. If
you are unsure of exactly how to do that, you may want to look
into article ghostwriters who understand article marketing and
who only focus on writing articles for Internet audiences. When
you work with article ghostwriters, you can focus more on your
business and know that someone else is working hard on your
behalf to write articles that will be read.

Getting The Best Results From Your Article Marketing Campaigns

Still, if you want to keep article writing within your company,
rather than outsourcing it, here are some tips for getting more
out of your article marketing campaigns:

1. Hook your readers from the start. Article writing is a lot
more effective for marketing your business when people will
actually read the articles. The best thing that you can do is to
catch their interest right away. Your article title will
determine if people will open your article, and the first
paragraph will ensure that people keep reading the article.

2. Avoid the temptation to overwhelm your readers with a lot of
information. Article writing is not about telling the reader
everything that there is to know; it's about sticking with a
central focus and giving your reader an introduction or overview
of the information they want and need to solve their problems. In
an article that probably won't be much more than one thousand
words, you will never be able to tell the reader everything they
need to know to solve a problem, but you can help put your reader
on solid footing for moving forward towards a workable solution.

3. Break up information into digestible chunks. Writing articles
is about expressing some key points. When it comes to writing
articles for the internet, what you are going to find is that
many readers skim rather than read your articles. Using numbered
lists (like this one) will help you to present your information
clearly, and let readers find what they are looking for quickly.
Similarly, if you use bullet lists or break up your text with
subheadings that are in a larger font and bolded, you can be sure
that after reading your article, the article's key points will
be easily recalled.

4. When it comes to article writing, particularly when you are
working to establish yourself as an expert, it's important to
show that you know what you're talking about. A great way of
doing that - and to break up the text of your article - is to
include quotes from more established experts. If you are writing
articles and are more established, you too should quote other
sources, possible letting the readers know why you disagree with
another writer.

5. Focus on spelling and grammar. Just as someone who is hiring
article ghostwriters should take the time to find ghost writing
services that are well versed in your point of view, it's also
important to be sure that you're writing in the native language
of your target audience. American English is different from that
spoken and written in England and India. Paying attention to your
spelling and grammar shows that you care about what you are
saying and that you are a professional.

A good example of the difference between the usage rules in
British English and American English is the story of Paul
Marshall from Dallas, Texas. When Paul was running his mortgage
business, he had hired some Indian writers to develop content for
his website. When he received the copy from his ghostwriters, the
copy used the word "mortgage scheme" in the text eleven times.
Paul was pissed, as you might well imagine. In British English,
"scheme" does not carry any negative connotation. Yet, as you
may well realize, "scheme" in American English is one of the
most negative words that can be applied to any business model. It
denotes "dishonesty" and "fraud" in American English. His
Indian writers could not understand his anger with their choice
of words, but you can understand his anger.

Professionalism In The Article Writing Process

Professionalism, unfortunately, is frequently overlooked when it
comes to article writing. Great writing flows, not just for the
writer whose aim is to get the words and message out, but also
for the readers who are consuming the information.

Because of this, one key element of an effective article is not
the writing itself: it is the readability of that article. Take
the time to look at the articles that grab your attention and jot
a few notes about each of them. Specifically, focus on the
following:

  * How did the writer grab your attention (or, if you weren't
interested in the first paragraph, what turned you off?

  * What sort of spacing did the writer use in the article?

  * What did you come away with after reading the article? In
other words, what were the key points of the article?

Writing articles is neither purely science nor purely art – at
its best; it is a good combination of the two. A great article
focuses on a key issue, isn't stuffed with keywords (you do want
search engines to find the article, but too many keywords in an
article takes away from readability), and is as easy to skim, as
it is to read.

When all is said and done, an article that gets read in its
entirety will carry the reader to the Author's Bio at the end of
the article. Ideally, the reader will read the entire article and
feel a desire to visit the author's website to learn more about
the writer of the article. It is article marketing at its best,
when the reader likes the article enough to click on the link in
the Author's Bio and visit the author's website to learn more
about what the author is offering.

Lessons in Business Naming from Newspaper Headlines

Two headlines in the "Home" section of my local newspaper
caught my eye the other day: "Natural floors can be knotty and
nice" and "Serving cheese with ease." Both headlines involve
enjoyable wordplay of the sort that could easily figure in
business names or tag lines. I can imagine "KnottyandNice.com"
as the domain name for a wooden items crafts shop, and "Cheese
with ease" as the tag line for a cheese lovers' online
community.

So I went looking for some tips on writing news headlines,
thinking they might offer valuable insights for naming, too.
After all, news editors need to come up with informative, catchy
headers numerous times every workday.

Even more challenging, their headers need to fit the available
space. They need to be able to condense or stretch an idea's
expression, depending on how many columns an article spreads
across.

My Google search didn't quickly turn up any such tips, though.
Maybe headline writing is an art passed on in secret by grizzled,
ink-stained veterans during the midnight shift.

Nevertheless, by pondering a couple of dozen headlines, I was
able to observe several key points.

1. Newspaper headline writers collect short, vivid verbs, such as
"mines" ("Obama mines small, red states"), "stirs,"
"pushes," "clings," "set," "edges," "sparks,"
"tosses," "sees," "OKs" and much more. Not only can
headlines with verbs tell a complete story, they convey energy.

Because verbs are frequently overlooked as an element in naming,
these punchy little words can help you come up with a
trademarkable name or a free domain in a competitive industry.

2. Long, vivid words can also come in handy. In the headline
"Super Bowl party can be gastronomical success," the word
"gastronomical" rescues the line from dullness. It's a
wonderful word that could be tweaked in a zillion creative ways
for a company name or tag line.

The lesson: long, vivid words can help you convey a complicated
idea concisely, as long as your average customer has an inkling
of their meaning.

3. Short, vivid words come in useful, too. Take a look at the
word "ire" in the headline "Delay in polar bear decision draws
ire of Senate." This is another kind of word that most people
understand yet probably wouldn't think to use.

4. Combined cleverly, ordinary words can please inordinately.
Besides the rhyme in "cheese with ease" and the homonym in
"knotty and nice," I also found "Hoops and hollers" atop a
photo of kids cheering at a basketball game, which illustrates
alliteration - the repetition of initial letters or sounds.

Another headline, "Bush comes clean with former addicts," used
an expression with two meanings that both tie in with the subject
matter - George W. Bush talking openly about his former drinking
problem.

All in all, your newspaper can serve as a source of instruction
and inspiration for naming. Just make sure you screen out
bloopers like these, which have actually appeared in newspapers:

  * Blind Woman Gets New Kidney from Dad she Hasn't Seen in Years

  * Grandmother of Eight Makes Hole in One

  * Quarter of a Million Chinese Live on Water

  * Stolen Painting Found by Tree

  * Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim

  * Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges

  * Iraqi Head Seeks Arms

  * Kids Make Nutritious Snacks
